On the morning of the same day that Zhun Junne was out investigating, Ju Ruobai returned to the dormitory after class, took out the long knife that appeared out of thin air last night, and observed it carefully.

To her surprise, when she was tidying up last night, she found that in addition to the knife itself, there was still its scabbard lying on the ground. As soon as she closed the knife and scabbard, she felt a sense of familiarity, but she didn't think much of it.

And at this moment, she looked at it for a while, and saw several symbols on one side of the scabbard, which were completely different from words, but she knew the meaning at a glance:

"Jixueju?"

The next moment, she reacted - why could she understand these three symbols?

"Knife ...... Why is this dangerous thing happening to me? ”

She is an ordinary quiet woman, and she really has nothing to do with swords and swords. Her favorite thing is nothing more than reading books and dismantling things, and fighting and killing is definitely not what she wants to participate in.

So, after thinking about it, it was better to hide this dangerous thing for the time being.

So now, she remembered that Qi Shi was coming.

Thinking of the great sacrifice made by Qi Shiyi last night in order to protect himself and keep the vital pendant, Ju Ruobai couldn't help but have a sour nose:

"This guy left by himself, and I asked him to take his class for him."

Yes, you walked simply, but who will make up for the classes you miss!

But remembering the words he left before leaving, Ju Ruobai couldn't help but take out the pendant again, put it in his hand and watched it.

"Go, go find your family."

Ju Ruobai clenched her palms, and she had already calculated in her heart that she must muster up the courage to take the initiative to find Jiang Li tonight.

The reason why I want to say that she mustered up courage is because she has not yet recovered from the angry questioning that she was allowed to know before, and she also thinks that her appearance has indeed brought bad variables to Jiang Li's family, how can she be embarrassed to continue to make trouble for them.

But now, she had a reason to go.

Usually, after her morning classes, she would go back to the dormitory to tidy up her things before going to the cafeteria to eat.

And now, she was on her way to dinner, but she didn't expect to meet someone.

"Words...... Mr. Goyan, why are you here? ”

"Why, I used to come every day, why can't I come today?"

"Doesn't it matter what you do?"

"Work is important, and so are you."

"I ...... Thank you for your concern. ”

"You ......"

After a short period of communication, I felt uncomfortable talking about it, and I always felt that there was something wrong.

"Why did you start using honorifics on me again?"

"Because...... I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you and Miss Bai...... But don't worry, it'll be solved right away. ”

"Huh? However, I said it wasn't your fault, you don't have to care. ”

"Miss Bai's parents, they should come to you every day......"

"They care about Sumire, so they ......"

"I'm wondering what made her like that, right? But you can't explain it, if you tell them that Miss Bai was forced to sleep by the world administrators, they will probably suspect that you have a mental problem first. ”

"yes, I can't explain it anyway......"

"So what? What will happen if Miss Bai doesn't wake up again? ”

“……”

Go's eyes darkened slightly, and he didn't answer the question, choosing to change the subject.

"I didn't come to you today to say this, are you going to eat, take me with you."

"Oh? Would Mr. Goyan also want to go to the cafeteria of the welfare home to taste it? ”

"First, I've eaten here a long time ago and I don't know how many times. Second, don't use honorifics anymore, if you say honorifics again, then I'll use honorifics for you too. ”

For his avoidance, Ju Ruobai was also very cooperative, and did not ask any more questions. Since it's a meal, let's take eating as the only thing in your mind, and focus on the only thing, maybe you can enjoy a different kind of happiness.

"Okay, I see, let's go together."

Ju Ruobai showed a shallow smile, and after speaking, he walked to Yan Fei's side and walked towards the canteen with him.

This time, I also ate in the public cafeteria, but this time it was different from the one at Qinan University.

For example, last time it was four people, this time there are only two people.

The two of them are surrounded by young children, who are not idle when they eat, and like to talk non-stop with their mates at the same table, which is in stark contrast to the calm behavior of the two adults here when eating.

"How nice?" (Nothing to say)

"Huh?" (White)

"Don't you think the atmosphere when they eat is really good?"

"Oh~ yes, children are energetic, and they can't be quiet at any time."

"We were, should we be, too?"

"Hmm...... I don't see you being like this...... What about naughty people. ”

"I can't think of the quiet Ruobai, who used to be a student, would be lively and playful."

"Wow, I'm getting old, and the time when I was carefree and just thinking about it is no longer there."

“……”

No matter how fulfilling the life of adults is when they grow up, when they talk about their childhood that will never return, they often have a sadness - whether they were happy or unhappy in childhood, that experience can only be picked up in memories, perhaps because people have a feeling of nostalgia for the things that have passed away in their hearts, you know, even if the length of childhood is defined as ten years, how many decades can pass in a person's life?

And the author himself who is writing this text here at this moment, although he has only spent two decades, but if he looks back, maybe I can live another four decades, maybe I can live another six decades, but maybe I can only spend two decades or even half a decade, who knows.

When Dao Yanfei also had similar emotions because of this topic, his eyes were on Ju Ruobai and he didn't want to leave.

For some reason, he always had a feeling that if he didn't look at her more now, maybe he wouldn't see her again.

"Wakaba."

"Huh?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you said before, tell me not to worry, Sumimi's matter will be solved soon?"

"Yes."

"If I'm not mistaken, there's only one solution?"

“……”

"That's where you leave?"

“……”

This time, it was Ju Ruobai's turn to talk about him, but it was really strange two people who always liked to ask questions that the other couldn't answer.

"Yes, only if I leave, Shouxu may be able to lift the forced hibernation."

"Shouxu...... What is this, the guy's name? ”

"Yes, it's just a new name it gave itself, and it didn't have a name."

"Oh, that's right. I'm curious, why do you know so much? ”

"Because I've seen it already. Didn't you notice that when you came to see me in the welfare home today, something was missing around you? ”

"Sizzle......"

To bury my head in thought, it seems that this is indeed the case, it has been a long, long time, and it has not been as smooth as today, successfully seeing Ju Ruobai, eating with her smoothly, and being alone with her two of you.

But at the beginning, there was obviously such an opportunity, since the appearance of that guy Qishiyi, everything has changed, every time he tries to bypass him to find Ju Ruobai alone, that guy always appears from an inexplicable place for some reason, making the scene of two people become three people.

"yes, where's that guy?"

"When he went back, you should have realized that he was different. Teacher Qi is a part of Shouxu, split from the ontology to help us, but last night, for some reason, he had to return to the ontology. ”

"So, in other words, that guy doesn't exist anymore?"

"I don't know, I don't know what will happen when I return to my original form. But if the two consciousnesses gradually merge, will in the end, the newly formed consciousness not see any shadow of the original two consciousnesses at all? It's like when people see yellow, they can't imagine that it's a combination of red and green. ”

“…… I'll talk about this question later, and now answer me, you said before that Sumire's problem will be solved immediately, which means, will you leave right away? ”

"I can answer you, but before that, can you answer me, my previous question: What will Sumire's parents do with you if she doesn't recover?"

Go to Yanfei was so choked that he couldn't speak, although this guy Ruobai was answering the question with a question, but he asked to the point, and he was also because he realized this, so he couldn't speak for a long time.

There is no doubt about the ability of business elites to communicate and communicate, and it is for this reason that they are mostly able to navigate complex business dealings. But this does not mean that they will be able to answer any questions, and sometimes, they will also be asked to be silent.

When is it – often when you face something you don't want to face.

People are fragile, and it is normal to avoid things that you don't want to face. Although there are a few people who can face these things directly, they must have experienced ups and downs and have a calm mind.

"In any case, please don't leave ......" went to Yan Fei who lost in this contest, and as the loser, he made a slightly humble request to Ju Ruobai at this moment.

"I'm not leaving, don't worry."

"You promise, won't go?"

"I promise, I won't go."

I didn't expect Ju Ruobai to agree so simply, and while saying that he was happy to be reassured, he realized that something was wrong.

He's right, the reason why Ju Ruobai is so crisp is not that he really won't break the contract. It's just that she knows that once she leaves, so much of Yan Fei won't remember her, and the memory of her in his mind can't be kept, and it will definitely be cleared, so that only she remembers the breach of contract, so it doesn't matter.

"Classmate Yan Fei, do you remember it now?"

"What's that?"

"In college, memories related to me."

"Well, to be honest, I still haven't remembered any memories of college and you......"

"Really? Yan Fei, then let me ask you something, can you lend me some money? I want to buy something. ”

"Okay, how much do you want."

"Won't you ask first, what do I want to buy?"

"It doesn't matter, whatever you want to buy, I'll agree."

"Wow...... It's a very romantic statement, so have you ever thought that I borrowed money to buy sleeping pills or something......"

"Do you have insomnia?"

"No, don't you know, it's possible to overdose on sleeping pills......"

"I don't think you're the one to do that kind of thing. You promised me before that you wouldn't leave, and I believe in you. ”

"Hey, hey, it's a joke. What I want to buy is just a few transformers, although they may not be able to get too high a voltage alone, but a few more plus my design, I can use them to get ultra-high voltage. ”

"Of course I'll give you what you want, but these things are very expensive, although six figures is nothing to me, but it should be a lot for you, can you afford it?"

"I can't afford it."

"Well, then you don't have to pay it back."

She closed her eyes slightly, as if she was thinking.

"You're still so good to me, I can't even think of how to repay you."

"I, I'm good to you, I don't want anything in return......"

Ju Ruobai opened his eyes and suddenly smiled at him:

"Do you know what a transformer is?"

"I don't know...... But didn't you say that it was used to obtain high voltage? ”

"Have you bought it?"

"How could I possibly buy something like that."

"But you know the price."

“……？”

"Yan Fei, you shouldn't know, one day I suddenly remembered something during class, picked up chalk and scribbled on the blackboard, and I took a photo with my mobile phone after class and saved it. Last night, I finally understood the meaning of the paintings, and at the same time, I remembered. ”

"What? What do you remember? ”

"There was a time when I was immersed in research in the lab, and every time I was short of funds, I would go to a friend of mine to borrow money, but it seemed that I never paid back a penny."

"It's me?"

"Yes, who else would be so nice to me but you."

"I, I just have a little money, and I can't give anything else but money......"

"Hehe~ Sometimes I can give money, which is indeed the biggest help."

Yan Fei looked at her, and Ji Ruobai on the other side of the table was also looking into his eyes with a slight smile with those eyes that hid some sorrow. The moment the four eyes met, he naturally felt a little affection diffused in the air, but more importantly, he realized the sadness conveyed in those eyes.

His heart beat faster, but it didn't feel good, on the other side of the table was his dream lover, and even he could feel that the other party didn't hate him, but now, right now, why did she have that color in her eyes, as if to tell him that the next moment, she would turn into a rainbow and slip away from this sky.

Is it a bitter cup of coffee with some sugar in it, or a few drops of coffee in the sweet syrup?

"Ruobai, I have something I think I should tell you now."

"What is it?"

"I ...... I ...... to you We ......"

"Yan Fei, do you like girls who dance and play with swords?"

"Huh? What? ”

"I mean, if a girl likes to be in the company of swords, it must be uncute."

"I think it depends on the situation......"

After speaking, he still didn't say that sentence, and when he left after eating, his whole person was in a trance. He saw it, but he didn't say anything.

When she returned to the dormitory, she still got into the bed as usual, planning to take a nap. But this time, not long after she lay down, there was a burst of unusual sounds in her room that were not so obvious, and she didn't seem to notice this, still keeping her eyes closed.

It wasn't until the moment when the hands were about to touch her head that she suddenly jumped up from the bed, holding the knife called Jixueju in front of her.

There is a second person in the room out of thin air at this moment, and it is self-evident who the other party is.

"Are you Shouxu, or are you a tithe."

"I am both a guard and a tithe. There is no need to distinguish between the two names now. It's you, are you Ling Zeru, or, by some other name? ”

“……”

"Come with me, Ling Zeru, I'm sorry to pull you into this world for some reason, but now, you don't have to stay here, let me send you home."

"I can't leave, because, too, it's your wish."

"yes, honestly, I don't want to split again, it's a bad feeling. Are you sure, if you don't go back right away, your friends in that world will be in a hurry. ”

"I can't leave until I remember everything."

"Haha, wow, then I'll help you figure it out. But I don't think you have any memories of Ling Zeru right now, nor do you have all the memories of Ju Ruobai, so I can't guarantee which one you will think of first. ”

As soon as Shouxu finished speaking, he attacked directly at Ju Ruobai, it did not use any managerial power, but only carried out a simple physical attack on Ju Ruobai.

And Ju Ruobai, this girl who can't see her combat effectiveness from any angle, with the knife in her hand, can actually compete with Shouxu.

"Aren't you going to pull the knife out of its scabbard first?"

"I don't want to hurt you."

"You don't want to hurt Qi Shiyi because Qi Shiyi has helped and protected you. But don't forget, I'm the one who attacked you. ”

"If I want to stop swinging my sword at the enemy, I can still do it; But if I had to make a move on my friend, I couldn't do it anyway. ”

After hearing this, Shouxu stopped all attacks, jumped lightly, and distanced himself from Ju Ruobai.

"Let's play a game."

"What game?"

"You get dressed first."

Ju Ruobai looked at it suspiciously, and Shouxu didn't give any explanation, it just looked at Ju Ruobai silently, not moving.

"Since you told me to change my clothes, please go out."

"I don't have a gender, so you don't have to be shy."

Ju Ruobai looked at the black shadow in front of him without any human facial features, gritted his teeth, and could only change his clothes in front of it.

"Oh my God, don't you just put pants and a coat on top of your pajamas, what's there to dare to show people?"

In the face of Shouxu's complaints, Ju Ruobai just asked her the question she was most concerned about:

"So, what do you mean by game?"

"Hmph......" the dark shadow chuckled, "Do you know what time it will be tomorrow morning at 10:27:57?" ”

"When?"

"You don't know? Very good. From now on, let's play a game like Eagle Catch Chick, every four hours I'll attack someone you know and put him into forced hibernation, and if you can protect him by his side at that point, my attack will fail and I'll switch to the next target. ”

"Why should I play this game?"

"Because if you don't play, then I'm going to attack them directly, and I promise, you have absolutely no chance of stopping them. But if you play, as long as you can guess who I'm going to attack and protect him by his side at that time, then you can stop me, and be aware that as long as you can touch me before I touch him, then even if I fail to attack, then I'll look for the next target. ”

"It's not fair, you are the manager of the world, you must know where I am, when the time comes, you directly change to another person to attack, I still can't protect that person."

"Do you remember the pendant you got earlier, I can't sense where you are when you wear that."

When she heard this, she took out the pendant she had put in the drawer, and put it on in disbelief.

Shouxu watched with satisfaction as she finished all this, and then said coldly:

"Very well, so from now on, the deadline is 10:27:57 tomorrow morning. Also, the time of the first attack, yes, now yo. ”

In the next second, its figure disappeared in place in an instant, and Ju Ruobai didn't even react to what it meant by what it said before, and after a long time, it immediately rushed out of the door with Jixueju in his arms.

But it was too late, and when she went downstairs, she saw a group of people gathered around, as if something was going on there. She hurriedly ran over, only to see where Chu Fangxing had fainted, and the people around her were at a loss.

Obviously, the first target of Shouxu's attack was Dean Chu Fangxing.

There were already people calling an ambulance, and Ju Ruobai knew that forced dormancy would not harm the human body, so although Chu Fangxing was unconscious, there was no danger to her life. What she has to do now is to think about who Shouxu's next target will be.

"It's 12:57 p.m., and the next time, four hours later, it should be 4:57 p.m. Before I did, I had to guess who Shouxu was going to attack and rush to his side. ”

The figure of Jiang Li and Zhiyanfei first appeared in her mind, to say that the most likely to attack should be them, Shouxu should not be bored enough to attack the other people in the welfare home, those employees and children should not have a deep relationship with her to that point, it is worth Shouxu to wait for a full four hours to attack a person who has nothing to do with her.

"Aunt Jiang and Yan Fei...... Which one will it be? ”

Just when she had no clue and was in the middle of a struggle, suddenly in the sky, a light voice came from the sky in all directions, as if some god was admonishing and guiding the little life on this land:

"The one who is the head, who in the new world takes in exiles from the old world. The two are the exiles of the old world, whose hearts are unswerving. ”

The sound echoed through the street, but it was clear that it was also audible only to Suruobai.

"Take in...... Is the dean willing to accept me as a teacher in a welfare home when I have nowhere else to go? So, are these two sentences giving me a hint in a descriptive way? ”

Of course, Ju Ruobai could think that this sentence was conveyed to her by Shouxu. She didn't know why Shouxu was playing this game with her, and she didn't know why she was coming out to give her hints now, and she didn't know if these tips were real or lying to her, but it seemed that she had no other way than to believe it now.

"Till death? The word ......"

Juruobai immediately ran in one direction, ignoring the eyes of the passers-by around her. A girl with a long knife in her hand is running down the street at full speed, this scene is also quite different, after all, the combination of girls and swords has an indescribable sense of contrast.

"Till death...... This word, if I'm not mistaken, is generally used to ......"

So, after running all the way, she came to the office where Qu Yanfei was, and at that time, Qu Yanfei was sitting on the desk with his head supported by his hands, his eyes closed.
