The two left the ruins of Hua Xia University and prepared to find a place to sit down and look up relevant information on their mobile phones.
But after a few steps, Xiao Chen said, "Wait a minute."
He turned a corner and walked quickly to a street corner where there was a flower shop.
Luo Ling ran after him and said, "Flower shop? What are you doing? The shop isn't open yet."
Xiao Chen pointed at the air vent on the door of the flower shop. He activated his mental power, bypassed the air vent and rolled towards the flowers. Flowers flew out from the bucket and passed through the air vent into his hands.
Xiao Chen picked the flowers very casually, including roses, jasmine, gerberas, daisies, and everything else. In a short while, he had a bouquet of flowers in his hands.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Chen took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a hundred yuan, and threw it into the air vent. The money floated into the flower shop and landed on the table.
"After arriving in this world, I have never been here. But when I saw that big pit and found that some people just disappeared, I always felt that I wanted to do something." The bouquet of flowers in Xiao Chen's hand returned to the edge of the wall. Without him moving, the flowers in the bouquet left his hand one by one, crossed the wire mesh of the wall, and floated to the middle of the big pit.
"I didn't expect you to be so sentimental sometimes." Luo Ling said.
"Sometimes you have to stop and look around, right? Otherwise, if you just keep running towards the goal ahead, you'll miss a lot of important things." Xiao Chen turned around, holding a red rose in his hand. This was the only flower he had left after he scattered all the flowers. "After all, we weren't born to defeat the God of Nature."
Luo Ling took the flowers with a smile and was about to tease him, but her expression darkened again.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Chen asked.
"It's just that I think about the fact that we died in so many worlds. Now many people are placing their hopes on us, hoping that we can bring about a change in the ending..." Luo Ling said.
"Why not? Maybe we can really do something different." Xiao Chen put his arm around her shoulders and walked out slowly.

Not far from the ruins of Hua Xia University, they found a fast food chain. It was breakfast time, so they ordered some food, found a seat to sit down, and began to use their mobile phones to search for the missing person notice from two years ago.
After searching for a while, Luo Ling said, "I found a memorial website that is used to commemorate the missing persons in this incident. It should have photos and information of most of them."
"Send me the link and I'll watch it with you." Xiao Chen said.
After receiving the link, Xiao Chen opened the webpage and began to look through the photos. There were more than 800 missing persons registered on this website, and it took more than an hour to look through them carefully. However, Xiao Chen looked back and forth for a long time and did not see anyone who looked like He Xiaoxi. He said, "It seems that I guessed wrong. But this is normal. It was just a guess without any clues."
Luo Ling said, "Wait, I have a question. How do you know that He Xiaoxi looks exactly like she did when we met her?"
"this… "
"Even you and I can use magic to disguise our images, so is it possible that gods can't even do this?" Luo Ling asked back.
"You mean, she had plastic surgery?" Xiao Chen touched his nose and said in embarrassment, "That's a big problem. Who knows if she just had double eyelids or changed her face?"
"No, that's not what I meant. Do you think He Xiaoxi is pretty?" Luo Ling asked.
"To be honest, He Xiaoxi is a pretty girl, but she is definitely not a great beauty." Xiao Chen glanced at Luo Ling and felt that this was an easy question. "The gap between her and you is very, very huge."
"Stop, stop, stop. Do you think I can't see that you are not saying what you mean? You might as well shut up if you say things that don't mean what you mean." Luo Ling scolded with a smile.
"Look at my eyes." Xiao Chen pointed at his eyes, "Sincerity."
"Look around sincerely."
"To be honest, I say you are beautiful and she is not beautiful based on my conscience. He Xiaoxi's nose is a little concave. From the side, it looks like a moon, and from the front, it looks like the bottom of a pot. It's nothing like your face. It's straight where it should be straight, and flat where it should be flat."
Luo Ling chuckled and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Since you don't think He Xiaoxi is that pretty, I think that's pretty much her true appearance. If she really wanted to change her appearance, why didn't she make herself prettier? She didn't even change her flat nose you mentioned, which shows that she didn't have that intention. In fact, I can understand her. When you lose all your memories and don't even know where you came from, your appearance may be the only connection with your past. If I were in that situation, I wouldn't change my appearance easily. Maybe someone or a god would recognize my identity and find my past when they see my appearance?"
"That's right. Then why did you say that you saw her appearance?" Xiao Chen said.
Luo Ling said: "You know, when a person becomes a spirit servant, they tend to look like they are at their peak. In simple terms, no matter how old they are, they tend to look like they are in their twenties. Of course, there are some exceptions, and they are all very powerful magicians who deliberately maintain their state before they died. But people with lower strength cannot resist this life instinct."
"You mean, He Xiaoxi might be an old aunt?"
"Based on my conversations with her, judging by her gestures, words and actions, she is more like a little girl."
"Oh, a little girl who is over ten thousand years old?"
Luo Ling said, "You should know that some changes in human habitual language and movements are related to physical growth. Why do children jump around? That's because the brain and nerves that control them are not yet fully developed. Why do old people become more stable? That's because their bodies become slow and stiff. If the body of a god has not changed in 10,000 years, it is normal for it to maintain its original habitual movements."
"I understand. We need to find a female student who looks like He Xiaoxi. If she is not a college student, she may be a student of the nearby Meisheng High School." Xiao Chen said, and began to look through the records again.
Twenty minutes later, he suddenly shouted, "Look, this girl, does she look a bit like me?"
Luo Ling came over to take a look. The screen was a memorial page for a high school girl. It was a daily photo of a girl with twin ponytails standing on the Bund. The Oriental Pearl Tower and several high-rise buildings in Lujiazui were in the background. She was smiling brightly and making a heart shape with her hands to the camera. Her name was written on her profile: He Xiaoxi. (To be continued)
