The word "captain" seemed to awaken some suppressed memories, but it was only for a very brief moment, not short enough for the two to wake up completely.
Gu Qingyu got drunk:
"What captain? When I was a kid, I was tall and was the captain of the basketball team, but later on, because of my poor physical fitness, someone else took over."
Bai Wu seemed to have this memory in his mind.
Gu Qingyu had been in poor health since childhood. He was tall and thin, but he had poor physical fitness. He would be out of breath after running a long-distance race for only 24 seconds. Most people in the class looked down on him.
When I grew up, my grades were average and I went to work in a private company. I had very bad luck and was always bullied because of my timid personality.
His boss Qin Zong was a dissolute rich second-generation man who knew Gu Qingyu's character well and assigned many difficult tasks to Gu Qingyu.
Gu Qingyu was also a person who was used to being oppressed. Although he would curse behind their backs and complain in front of his wife and good brothers, in fact, he was limited to such Ah Q-style resistance.
However, I have no memory of how this man was able to marry a beauty like Ruan Qingyun.
Bai Wu just felt that they were born to be together.
But in this memory, they were not a good match.
Ruan Qingyun often complains that her man is not very good, both in work and social aspects.
Ruan Qingyun herself was a person who cared more about her reputation. Men always embarrassed her, which made her very uncomfortable.
The two of them had gone through a family crisis and had started sleeping in separate rooms, but that was it.
It seems that the two have not considered divorce.
It can be said that anyone in this world is better than Gu Qingyu, except for height.
With Ruan Qingyun's beauty, it can be said that any man can pick her.
But even though the two of them were awkward, they didn't want to get divorced. It seemed like that was not something they would even consider.
Gu Qingyu continued to drink and complain about the company's work:
"You know, we are an underwriting and after-sales department. The company's requirement is that for any accident, we must find evidence that it was not an accident. Anyone who claims insurance must find a way to prove that their accident was man-made."
"I'm never assigned to those cases where it's easy to detect that the risks are fake and the insurance money is fraudulent. Damn it, I'm assigned to those cases where it's obvious that the accidents are real, and the company pays the compensation and deducts it from my performance."
Bai Wu knew this was happening.
The normal operation of insurance companies in this world is that when selling insurance policies to customers, they will exaggerate the insurance coverage, as if you will be compensated with one or two million if you fall.
But if something really happens, they will try every means to prove that your accident is not covered by the compensation.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this procedure, and it is also a kind of rigor.
But for Gu Qingyu, who works in underwriting, there are only easy jobs and difficult jobs in his eyes.
He was timid by nature, and when such a tough task was assigned to him, he was always unable to have the tough temper to refuse.
Bai Wu said:
"Why not refuse? Newcomers won't take on such difficult jobs."
"I don't know... I'm just afraid of offending people." Gu Qingyu said as he took another big sip of beer.
Bai Wu's feeling of disharmony did not disappear. Through the previous conversation, he roughly understood what kind of person Gu Qingyu was.
"I just blurted out "Captain", and I'm always concerned about his height, and his cowardly character makes me uncomfortable... These things can't have happened for no reason."
"There's something strange about this world. It seems that part of my memory has been erased... By the way, how did I get married?"
Suddenly he couldn't remember it, Bai Wu asked:
"How did you and Ruan Qingyun know each other?"
"We've known each other since we were kids."
"Where are Yanjiu and I?"
"You ask me this question? Who should I ask?"
She felt very familiar and always felt that Yan Jiu was his wife, but Bai Wu felt something was weird.
Distortion can make a person completely forget his true self.
But Bai Wu did not completely forget that he had once drunk the most twisted substance, and his body had a certain resistance to distortion.
So he instinctively feels that there are many strange things in this world.
The distortion within the body will counteract the distortion of the origin of this world.
Originally, Bai Wu should be a person with complete memory settings, but now, Bai Wu's memory is incomplete. This incompleteness...
It made him feel something was wrong.
"Maybe I'm not from this world? I can't remember how I got married... Would I be willing to start a family with someone at this time?"
"No... that would only slow down my sword-drawing speed..."
"Wait, I think I have a big sword..."
"Why do I have a big sword?"
As Bai Wu pondered, he gradually found his true self, while talking to Gu Qingyu normally and freely:
"Do I have any collections or anything like that?"
"you forgot?"
"The last time you took Xiao Jiu to a cosplay exhibition, wow, who was he cosplaying as... He looked very familiar to me, wearing a blue combat uniform and carrying a big sword, but I can't remember which work he was from..."
"and after?"
"Later, someone reported that you were carrying a real big sword... It was made of steel. No, it didn't seem to be made of steel. I really envy your physical strength, Bai Wu. I can't do that. I have never been suitable for sports since I was a child."
"Maybe you are very suitable for sports and have athletic nerves that others can't match, but you are limited by your memory..."
Silence.
Bai Wu's words made the two of them silent again.
After a long time, Gu Qingyu smiled bitterly:
"What are you talking about... I'm drunk, are you drunk too?"
"I don't know... I just followed my intuition, don't worry about it."
"I don't care. How can I not know the condition of my body?"
Bai Wu and Gu Qingyu smiled at each other, and the topic returned to the cosplay props:
"Then you were sent to the Security Department, and your weapon was confiscated. You're really something. I know you're quite particular about things, but carrying such a big weapon is really too much."
"Security Department..." Bai Wu thought.
Subconsciously, I felt that it was not a good organization, at least in this world.
Strange... Once again the concept of this world appears.
"I have to go get my greatsword..."
A somewhat crazy idea emerged, and Bai Wu felt very strange. Why did he care about the sword
"Enough of the bitterness, brother. It's great to have you. Although I haven't done very well in my life, at least my friends are great." Gu Qingyu had drunken eyes and a wry smile.
Bai Wu wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start. He had two choices in his mind.
One is instinctive, wanting to help this person.
The other feeling seemed to be instinctive, making him want to hate this person, and like the people around him, he gradually looked down on him.
If he hadn't been able to resist distortion, Bai Wu would probably have become a very disgusting person, defrauding others for gain, and then eliminating the poor friends around him from his network one by one, keeping only those who were useful to him.
It was like someone he hated but couldn't remember.
But now, the white mist can gradually be distinguished...
"I want to help Gu Qingyu... but it seems like there is some force that forces me not to help him..."
"But I can sense that the latter... is not what I think deep down."
Bai Wu bit his tongue, the pain forced him to speak his true intention:
"Tell me about the new order you received. I seem to have a good analytical ability. Maybe I can help you find some clues."
After saying this, it seemed that his resistance to distortion increased a little, and the power that seemed to be able to influence his decision... faded a little.
But Bai Wu still did not realize that he was in an extremely distorted and absurd world.
Gu Qingyu was stunned:
"Will you... help me?"
How could someone be willing to help me? Even though this person is theoretically my best friend.
But strangely enough, Gu Qingyu always felt that no one in this world was willing to help him.
"Of course, you're my best friend, who else should I help if I don't help you?"
There is no sense of incongruity in this sentence.
Bai Wu began to conclude that he and Yan Jiu were not husband and wife because the sense of incongruity was too strong.
Gu Qingyu and I are indeed good friends, because there is no sense of incongruity.
Gu Qingyu and Ruan Qingyun should be husband and wife, but it may not have reached that stage.
At the same time, Gu Qingyu's physical fitness is too poor, which is questionable.
To sum up, there is something wrong with this world, and based on the fact that I have become aware of "this world" several times, there may be a corresponding "that world".
One of Bai Wu’s characteristics is that he has absurd imagination about the future and reality.
But it is not appropriate to publicize it at the moment. You should stay sober, continue to live a low-key life, and slowly find more places that are incongruous and non-incongruous.
"Tell me what kind of case you received this time."
"He's somewhat similar to the green turtle named Mingche from last time. Do you remember him?"
“I have an impression.”
Mingche is an honest man who has been cuckolded by several people. His business is not very good, and his wife is having affairs with other men.
There is a strong sense of dissonance, but it doesn't seem to be a very important role.
"This guy often went out drinking at night because his wife was not at home. He ended up being dazed and got hit and killed. The bastard Qin Zong insisted that I find evidence that he did not die in an accident but was murdered."
"The case this time is also very similar. It's a man named Zhou Zeshui who died in an accident. We know some things from Chang Shu's diary and the neighbors' oral accounts. He lived in an ordinary family of three. His daughter was named Zhou Tongtong and his wife was Feng Yuan."
"He had always suspected his wife of cheating on him and even had an argument with her, alerting the police."
"Anyway, his relationship with Feng Yuan is worse than mine and Qing Yun's. This man wrote in his diary that he wanted to strangle his unfaithful wife to death and suspected that his daughter was a bastard. I can even feel the resentment that seeps through the paper."
When Gu Qingyu said this, he was still a little frightened.
It seems that by opening those diaries, one can see Zhou Zeshui's resentment.
"So, his wife and daughter are dead?"
"No, he is dead. His wife and daughter are alive, and it is certain that although his wife and daughter have a motive for committing the crime, they have a sufficient alibi."
“So complicated?”
Bai Wu originally thought that in this case, either Zhou Zeshui killed his wife and daughter, or he was killed by his wife and daughter.
Gu Qingyu shook his head and said:
"It's not complicated to explain. Do you know Bai Xiaoyu who is involved in the underworld?"
"I have an impression of him. He is a ruthless person."
Bai Xiaoyu is a gangster? The sense of disobedience comes again.
"He is not just an ordinary ruthless person, my God. People in the underworld call him Bai Lao Mo. He kills people without blinking an eye. In his eyes, the elderly, children and women are all animals. He has no moral bottom line. The postal savings robbery case not long ago may be related to him."
"Ah this..."
Bai Wu felt a headache.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Qingyu asked.
"I'm fine, go on."
The sense of incongruity almost gave Bai Wu goosebumps.
He silently determined in his heart that Bai Xiaoyu must not be this character. At least not in another world.
"There was a gunfight between Bai Lao Mo's forces and the police, and the oil tanker was hit. The oil tanker lost control and hit Zhou Zeshui's car, and then there was an explosion... Zhou Zeshui died on the spot."
"No matter how you look at it, this case is all Zhou Zeshui's bad luck. It was indeed an accident, and Zhou Zeshui's wife and daughter are now asking for compensation..."
"But the higher-ups wanted me to make a fuss about Zhou Zeshui's diary and his relationship with his family. They wanted to make it appear that Zhou Zeshui's death was a premeditated murder."
"But I can't do it! The facts are right in front of me. Can I still turn the tables? Can I prove that Zhou Zeshui was involved in the bank robbery and was being punished by heaven?"
Gu Qingyu poured out the bitter water, and Bai Wu seemed to be thinking about something.
Zhou Zeshui.
A name that has no impression at all.
But I intuitively felt that this person was no small character. This was a feeling I hadn't gotten from mentioning many other names, not even Gu Qingyu's.
It’s not that Gu Qingyu and Yan Jiu are not important, but Bai Wu always feels that Zhou Zeshui is very crucial.
This feeling comes out of nowhere. It would be nice if there was something that could give me a hint.
Any tips
Bai Wu was stunned.
It was as if I found that I was missing something very important.
"Well, what do you think I should do?" Gu Qingyu asked.
Bai Wu waved his hand:
"My mind is a little confused, let me sort it out."
The laughter of Yan Jiu and Ruan Qingyun could be heard from the living room, while Gu Qingyu was drinking and cursing Qin Zong.
Bai Wu felt that everything in front of him was blurry.
"Memories can completely change a person's personality. The other side of the personality... is gone."
"Why did I mention this other side of my personality? Does it represent any key information?"
"I have to remember who I am... I have to remember it completely, otherwise I won't be able to use certain things..."
The resistance to distortion made Bai Wu gradually think of some key points.
But this distortion was so huge that it affected his entire memory. He could sense that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the cause and effect.
"But my intuition tells me... Zhou Zeshui is very important. I should go meet this person... Maybe there are some clues hidden here."
"In another world", Bai Wu's most powerful weapons are eyes and intuition.
When his eyes are temporarily unusable for some reason, he can only rely on his intuition.
"Let's go to Zhou Zeshui's house and investigate now."
"But the police have closed the case. You don't think there's a twist here, do you?"
“It doesn’t matter if the police have closed the case.”
Bai Wu's intuition is very strong.
Zhou Zeshui is very important, and this person may have a great connection with me.
And Gu Qingyu's case itself may not be important.
What's important is the choice I made. If I didn't help Gu Qingyu and follow a certain trend... I probably wouldn't know Zhou Zeshui.
Although there is currently no evidence to show what Zhou Zeshui has to do with this sense of disharmony.
You must be careful with every choice you make.
This sentence appeared in Bai Wu's mind for no reason, making Bai Wu feel that the mystery had just begun at this moment.
But the feeling itself is also very abrupt.
"It doesn't matter if the case is closed. Aren't you, Gu Qingyu, the best at overcoming death situations?"
The two were stunned again. Gu Qingyu didn't think he was like that, but since Bai Wu said so, he decided to take Bai Wu to have a look.
