172 [Revenant Knight] (II)
When Bai Yiquan woke up, he found himself lying on the bed with a white ceiling above his head, and the sun shining on the futon through the window. He froze for nearly a minute before he remembered what had happened. He struggled to get out of bed, but there was a dull pain in the back of his head, and he realized that his head was wrapped in gauze through the mirror in the room.
What's going on? Sure enough, he was attacked by the centaur?
Bai Yiquan got out of bed, and after moving his whole body, he found that except for a trace of weakness, his body seemed to be fine. And the feeling of powerlessness was more like hunger, and looking at the current situation, he seemed to be in a coma for a whole night, and it seemed that there was still half a day.
He couldn't remember how many times he had been unconscious. In the six months since entering [THIRD], he has been in a coma more times than in the previous eighteen years combined, and he has to be glad that he is still alive.
After walking out of the room, Bai Yiquan saw Ani sitting on the fabric sofa in the living room, reading a book as always. After hearing the movement, he raised his head, glanced at him with a cold gaze, and then lowered his head and continued to read. Bai Yiquan felt a little helpless, but he still came up cheekily.
"The ......"
Brush.
Ani flipped the pages.
"Ahem, what happened last night?" Bai Yiquan asked, "Did you rescue me?"
Although he didn't look at him, fortunately, Ani was still willing to reply to Bai Yiquan's words: "Nothing happened last night, you were just in your bed." It was the morning before yesterday that brought you back, and by the way, counting today, you've already missed two days of classes for the new semester. ”
Bai Yiquan was stunned. At first, he didn't react, and it wasn't until he carefully tasted Ani's words that he realized that he had been in a coma for two whole days, not just one night! No wonder he now had a feeling of prostration, feeling that he hadn't eaten for two whole days.
"Why, how can this be?" Bai Yiquan was a little incoherent, "How could I sleep for so long?"
Ani shook her head and didn't speak. Bai Yiquan didn't know if she didn't know or didn't want to say it.
"Has anyone come looking for me?"
"Yes. ”
"Is it Mentor Hermo and Senior Brother Ye Zhifan?"
"Yes. ”
Ani's answer was unusually simple. According to this kind of questioning, he probably will never be able to ask what he wants to know. So he hurriedly returned to the room, took out his mobile phone and called Ye Zhifan first. But Ye Zhifan's phone was not connected, he had to call Thomas, and after a while, Thomas's lazy voice came from the receiver: "It seems that you woke up." ”
"Do you know what's going on?"
"You know, you've been absent from class for two days. I heard that Kalan, who is the professor of "Advanced Alchemy", is very angry, you must know that no student has ever dared to skip his class, you better be careful, Karan's status in the academy is even higher than that of the old man. ”
Of course, Bai Yiquan knew who Ka Lan was, the leader of the group. The highest-ranking tutor in the academy is second only to the deans and elders in actual power. The most important thing is that the subjects he teaches have always had the lowest pass rate in the academy, and he is known as the "Alchemy Grim Reaper"!
But......
"Damn, I've seen the real Grim Reaper!What do you care about the 'Alchemy Grim Reaper'!" Bai Yiquan roared out almost with all his might, "I almost lost my life, why don't you care if you can't hang up or not?"
"Calm down. You fell on your head and hit the window while you were unconscious, or I bandaged it for you. Thomas said lightly, "For the Progente, that injury doesn't have to be dealt with at all, it's just that I'm afraid of soiling your pillow." ”
Bai Yiquan subconsciously touched the back of his head: "Just such a little injury made me unconscious for two days?"
"Of course not, the most important thing is [Revenant Knight], I didn't expect your reaction to be so big. ”
"[Revenant Knight]?"
"It's the guy you saw that night. I don't understand why you're looking for those guys at all, Ye Zhifan is also nervous. ”
"I don't understand what you mean. And where is Senior Brother Ye Zhifan?"
"It's time to carry out the task. The people in the second group would not have stayed in the academy for long. Thomas yawned, and his voice became more lazy, "Listen, although I don't know what Ye Zhifan wants you to do, you'd better stay away from those guys." Didn't you see that when they came, the whole of [THIRD] would be turned off and closed? Although they also nominally belong to the THIRD, at the end of the day, we are not people of the same world. ”
"I still don't understand. ”
"If we compare [THIRD] to a coin, we are the heads of the coin, they are the tails of the coin. It stands to reason that the two sides of the coin will never touch each other, and what you did that night was trying to touch the tails of the coin. ”
Bai Yiquan swallowed his saliva: "What will be the result?"
"I don't know. Thomas said honestly, "[Death] is a very special deity, and everything about him is mysterious. It is difficult for us gods to know his true face, and it is difficult for us to understand the gods who are in the same line as him. Yes, those Revenant Knights are descendants of the Grim Reaper, but as I compared before, we are on opposite ends of the coin, and although we are both gods, we are very different. ”
Bai Yiquan seems to understand whether he understands or not.
"Just because we can't reach doesn't mean you can't. Thomas changed his words, "After all, the Thunder Monarch reached some kind of contract with the [Grim Reaper] to complete the ability of [White Mang]. These are all recorded, so theoretically speaking, you who have inherited the [White Mang] should be the closest to the [Death] lineage. I think Ye Zhifan asked you to contact those guys, I'm afraid it's also for this reason. ”
"And what's the matter with me being unconscious?"
"I don't know, maybe it means that the front side of the coin can't reach the back side. Thomas seemed to be really sleepy, yawning constantly, "It's okay, don't get to the bottom of everything." If everything could be explained, there wouldn't be so many legends in the world. There's nothing wrong with going to bed on time before midnight and staying away from those guys. ”
After that, Thomas didn't wait for Bai Yiquan to reply, and simply hung up the phone neatly. The latter was left alone to look at the phone and was stunned.
"What is this. Bai Yiquan muttered and stuffed the phone back into his pocket, "It's really unpleasant." ”
After talking to Thomas on the phone, Bai Yiquan's stomach growled with hunger. He hurriedly slipped out of the room, ready to go to the kitchen to find something to eat. But when passing by the living room, he found a plate of sandwiches on the table, Bai Yiquan had seen these "sandwiches", which were the special snacks of the royal cat family, and had always been given to Ani by the royal cats.
Bai Yiquan glanced at Ani, who was still reading. He licked his lips, shook his head, and prepared to go into the kitchen.
"These are for you. Ani spoke suddenly.
Bai Yiquan was stunned, subconsciously turned around, and saw Ani close the book and leave the living room. Only the plate of sandwiches remained.
