"Dudu - I'm sorry, the user you are calling cannot be reached temporarily, please call again later......

"Damn, why can't I get through...... Ye Yu muttered in annoyance, and put down his phone helplessly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

first turned off the phone, and now it is completely busy, Ye Yu even suspected that his phone was blocked by Lou Yue; However, the other people I can think of for help, such as Qi Yu and Lan Jue, are also hung up and hung up, and lost contact.

『…… He's in very bad shape, and if he barely uses his abilities, I'm really worried that he'll ...... Just die on the spot......

Xiao Yan's admonition repeatedly hit Ye Yu's sensitive nerves, and he sat on the bench on the side of the street, propping his head, burying his head in his hands, and fell into a deep sense of powerlessness.

Lou Yue...... Where exactly are you now? Have you already gone on that "dangerous mission"? Why can't I reach you......

INTERVIEWER Even if they do, what can they do?

A voice questioned in his heart, but Ye Yu couldn't answer at all.

Oh, yes...... Even if I get in touch with Lou Yue, what can I actually do besides playing tricks and persuading? I even ...... I can't even go to him in person!

Ye Yu lowered his head and looked at the black monitoring bracelet on his wrist, and the depression in his heart became more and more intense. Not only does he have to wear such a thing all the time, but even his passport and identity documents have been seized, as long as he is still under surveillance, Ye Yu is like a caged bird, firmly imprisoned in Xiayang City, unable to take half a step.

obviously boasted to Xiao Yan that he would definitely stop Lou Yue, but I ...... After all, I still can't do anything......

Ye Yu closed his eyes, and a sense of self-loathing began to grow wildly like weeds, gradually turning into an incomprehensible depression surging in his chest.

『…… I hope that one day I will be able to truly become a qualified investigator on my own and stand by your side......!"

Scold...... has no freedom, even he can't protect himself, and he still wants to become an investigator and wants to be Lou Yue's help...... Ye Yu, Ye Yu, when will you recognize yourself, don't be so naïve and naïve!

"Bang...... Snap ......"

Drops of rain fell on this uninhabited street, on Ye Yu's trembling body, down his hair, mixed with something hot, and across his cheeks.

"Bang...... Syllable...... Whoa......"

The dripping raindrops finally gathered into a downpour, but Ye Yu did not move, he still sat on the bench with his head bowed, stubbornly accepting the baptism of this heavy rain, as if he was carrying out some kind of self-punishment.

Ziz...... Ziz ......"

The mobile phone in his pocket vibrate, but Ye Yu seemed to be immersed in self-blame, and he didn't have any intention of checking it at all.

Ziz...... Ziz ...... Ziz ......"

The mobile phone was still tirelessly reminding him of his existence, and after a while, Ye Yu finally made a move. He took out his mobile phone and glanced at the screen, but when he saw the two words on the screen, his originally decadent eyes suddenly lit up for a moment, and he immediately got up and rushed under the eaves next to him, and pressed the answer button with trembling fingers.

"Hey, hey......" Ye Yu opened his mouth cautiously, and his heartbeat began to speed up for no reason.

『…… Are you looking for me?'

The familiar voice from the microphone made a certain stone in Ye Yu's heart suddenly fall to the ground slightly, and he didn't even care about continuing to fall into self-loathing.

"Lou...... Lou Yue, you ...... You okay? Ye Yu said while hurriedly wiping the water droplets on his mobile phone, for fear that the return call that he had been waiting for would be interrupted due to the failure of the equipment.

"......" There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Do you have anything to do with me?'

"I ...... I ...... before I made a lot of calls, but they were either turned off or busy...... I, I'm afraid something will happen to you......" Ye Yu suddenly became entangled, full of words he wanted to say but didn't know where to start.

『…… Before, because of some things, it was inconvenient for me to answer the phone.

"'Something'? What's up? Ye Yu's heart hung up again. You...... Did you really do that 'brain search mission'?? ”

......Lou Yue on the phone fell silent again, Ye Yu held the phone nervously, and his heart began to beat violently.

"Xiao Yan told you?" After a long time, Lou Yue finally opened her mouth again.

"You don't care who told me about it, you...... Did you do that dangerous thing? Ye Yu's palms began to ooze cold sweat.

There was no response on the other end of the ...... phone.

"You...... Did you really do it?? That's a drain on your life! Ye Yu leaned against the wall weakly, and the sadness in his heart could no longer be suppressed. It's all me...... It's because I'm so weak that you're like this...... It's all because I ......!! ”

Ye Yu trembled, almost swallowed up by the overwhelming self-blame.

"Actually, I already know...... The reason why you will die for the 'radicals' is for me! If I wasn't so self-righteous, if I had listened to you before...... You won't ...... It won't be ......."

『…… Did you misunderstand something?' Lou Yue, who was on the other side of the phone, suddenly opened his mouth, interrupting Ye Yu's self-pity.

"I don't know who you're listening to, but to say that I'm doing all this for you or something is too much of yourself."

"Yes...... But ......" Ye Yu was stunned, and was suddenly blocked speechless.

"I have my own reasons for doing things, and I will neither waste my life in vain, nor will I allow myself to be at the mercy of others like a pawn." Lou Yue said calmly. "Besides, I know my physical condition best, I won't force myself, and outsiders don't have to worry."

…… Alien...... Is it ......

Ye Yu lowered his head, and the bangs wet by the rain were scattered on his forehead, and his expression was obscure.

"If you're looking for me for this, then don't say any more. Is there anything else?'

“…… I'm sorry, but I did it myself...... I'll ...... later. No more self-inflicted sentimentality. ”

Ye Yu's voice was soft, without the previous tension and self-pity, or as if all emotions had been burned out, becoming empty and calm—a kind of peace of mind like ashes.

"You're busy, don't bother you...... Goodbye......"

Ye Yu put down the phone, looked at the name on the screen blankly, and slowly moved his finger towards the hang-up button.

"Wait a minute."

Lou Yue's voice suddenly came from the microphone again.

Ye Yu's hand paused, and after a slight hesitation, he still picked up the phone again.

"What's wrong?"

......There was no sound on the other end of the phone, and there was silence again.

“…… Lou Yue? ”

"Alas......" Lou Yue's soft sigh came from the phone.

"I have never considered you a weakling, nor have I considered you a 'burden.'" On the contrary, you have considerable potential, far superior to mine.'"

Ye Yu was stunned, he couldn't believe his ears.

"You...... What do you say......"

"Whether it is the original Wu Xuebing incident, or the subsequent investigator exam, or even all that has happened recently, I have actually watched your every move. You are excellent, not only because of your innate special physique, but also because of your meticulous thinking and keen observation, and at the same time you have a firm will beyond ordinary people, these abilities are even better than those investigators who have undergone formal training, and this is not only me, but also Director An and Lan Jue have the same evaluation of you."

"......" Ye Yu didn't know how to react, so he could only continue to listen to Lou Yue in a daze.

"But it's precisely because you have such rare potential that I worry when you're targeted by those dangerous people...... Worried that you will not be able to protect yourself without professional training, and that some unnecessary disputes will affect you, so I have tried to keep you away from all things inside, but on the contrary, I have inadvertently suppressed your confidence and made you gradually become a little unconfident...... It's my fault.'"

"No, no, no...... I can't blame you for this, it's because I'm not strong enough......" Ye Yu shook his head in a panic, a little overwhelmed.

『…… What you told me in the bureau last time, I've thought about it since then.'" Lou Yue paused and said slowly. "Maybe it's not a good thing for you to keep you in check, but it may only pique your curiosity and make you do something more dangerous...... For example, tracking.'

“……！！” Ye Yu panicked in his heart. "You...... Do you know ......? ”

"Don't forget, you have a monitoring bracelet on your hand, how can I, as a monitor, not know your every move?" Lou Yue said calmly, but her words revealed sternness. "But this kind of thing, I hope you don't do it a second time, if you are really discovered by the other party that day, even I can't protect you."

"Yes, I'm sorry...... I won't do such a stupid thing again......" Ye Yu remembered that night when he almost showed his stuffing, and he couldn't help but feel a little palpitating.

"That's good...... I may have to stay in Pingbei City for a while in the near future, so during this time, you should follow Lan Jue to the Western District Bureau to experience it."

"To the Western District Bureau? Can I leave Xiayang City?? Ye Yu said in surprise.

"It's better to have Lan Jue watching you than for you to stay alone in the East Side." Lou Yue sighed softly. "As for Qi Yu's side, I'll convince him."

“…… Okay, I'll listen to you. Ye Yu nodded, and suddenly thought of something again, and his heart suddenly hung again. By the way, you ...... Your physical condition ......"

"Don't worry." Lou Yue's tone seemed to be a lot softer. "I promise you, I won't force myself to do dangerous things, because I ...... I can't die yet.'"

“…… Is it......" Lou Yue's words were like a tranquilizer, which made Ye Yu's uneasy heart finally ease down a little.

"Another ......" Lou Yue's words stopped abruptly halfway.

"What's wrong......

There was an eerily silence on the other end of the phone, which made Ye Yu a little nervous again, and just as he was struggling to say something, he heard a voice that didn't ring, but was firm and clear, and came down the microphone.

『…… You made a special call this time...... Thank you anyway.'"

"Bang - Du Du Du ......"

As soon as the words fell, there was a busy sound from the other party hanging up on the mobile phone, leaving only Ye Yu with an incredible face standing in place, dumbfounded.

……

"Hehe, that's a good point, why are you in a hurry to hang up." A calm man's voice with a slight smile sounded from Lou Yue's side.

Lou Yue put away her phone without saying a word and did not answer.

"It's the first time I've seen you speak so openly about your thoughts in the past few years, and it seems that you've changed a lot lately." The man said with a smile. "But that's good, that's what you really looked like back then......"

"I ...... There's no going back to the past......" Lou Yue shook his head, staring sadly at the delicate bronze pocket watch in his hand, and then raised his head and looked at the steady man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a black uniform beside him.

"Director Zhu, please tell me honestly, my 'time'...... How long is left? (To be continued.) )
