On the banks of the River of Forgetfulness, I rested with you for a long time. In the mud, my hair was entangled with yours. There was no expression of my heart, only a wisp of my soul, which ignited a furnace of soul, and a mandala grew out of the dry bones.
Convenience store No. 444 was still in the same place as before. Jiang Chen and Zhao Li were sitting opposite each other. He raised his head and took a sip of wine, and asked with a smile: "I said Zhao Li, you always said that the rules of the underworld are strict and inviolable. , does Su Yue’s actions count as interfering with things in your underworld?”
"Forget it, why don't you count it!"
Zhao Li responded with emotion: "Sometimes, people's obsessions are terrible, more terrible than ghosts and gods. I remember that there was a legend about Hades in ancient Greece, saying that there was a musician named Orpheus. His wife was bitten to death by a poisonous snake, but he chased her to Hades to get her back. Su Yue is Orpheus."
After saying this, he paused slightly, and a teasing smile appeared on his face: "How about it, Mr. Jiang, are you very touched when you see their passionate expressions?"
"maybe."
Jiang Chen responded without comment, and looked at Li Zhao with a smile in his eyes: "It's you, you are a bit incompetent for what you are doing, but I appreciate it, because I found that even if you lose Without soul memory, you are still the same person you were before."
"ha!"
With a chuckle in response, Zhao Li said with a smile: "If this is how I used to be, then I'm afraid I have to give up the idea of getting back to my old self..."
On one side, the two were chatting and laughing, but on the other side, Xia Dongqing seemed to have something wrong. He was sitting listlessly behind the counter, holding his chin in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.
"Holly, Li Zhao, I'm here!"
It's Wang Xiaoya, she's here again, like holding the thread of fate, stringing her, Zhao Li, and Xia Dongqing on the same thread of fate, entangled with each other.
"Hey, Brother Jiang, you are here too!"
Upon seeing Jiang Chen sitting opposite Li Zhao, Wang Xiaoya immediately smiled and asked, "I haven't seen you for several days. What have you been busy with recently?"
"nothing."
Jiang Chen also responded with a smile: "I just dealt with the virtual spirit that I conquered before. After all, it is not an ordinary ghost, so it took a few days."
"oh."
Wang Xiaoya nodded as if she understood. Then she turned around, looked at Xia Dongqing who was in a daze on the other side and said, "Does either of you two know what happened to Dongqing today?"
"I want to know!"
Zhao Li smiled and asked: "Then you can go over and ask him yourself."
Wang Xiaoya pouted and complained: "Do you think I can get any useful information out of Dongqing's current situation?"
Zhao Li responded honestly: "I'm sorry!"
"Look at me."
Jiang Chen immediately stood up and walked to the counter where Xia Dongqing was. When he spoke, his seemingly indifferent voice sounded like thunder: "Wangqing."
"ah?!"
As if she had just woken up from a big dream, Xia Dongqing raised her head expressionlessly and asked almost subconsciously: "Mr. Jiang, you called me, what's the matter?"
"Forehead... ... ."
Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment and then asked, "I say, Xia Dongqing, what happened to you today? Are you in any trouble? You might as well tell me, maybe I can help you." I'm busy." The words were as calm as ever, seemingly ordinary, but they had an irresistible charm that passed through Xia Dongqing's ears and penetrated directly into the depths of Xia Dongqing's heart.
"I foresee death."
After a period of silence, Xia Dongqing finally spoke in a deep voice, and then he told his story.
It turned out that just at noon today, he bumped into a woman on the bus. The moment he looked up and saw the woman, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind. In the picture, the woman seemed to be locked up in a strange place. In the sealed space, she kept struggling, beating, and shouting, asking him for help!
In fact, this is not the first time he has encountered this kind of thing. In the past memory, those who have asked him for help will eventually die due to various reasons.
"Death, death announced in advance, I can feel them. Those who have asked me for help will die of various reasons before long. I have been wondering whether it is because of me, whether they were harmed by me. dead?"
Xia Dongqing couldn't help but slap his head, his face full of pain. After all, in the final analysis, he is just an ordinary person, but he is burdened with a loneliness that ordinary people cannot understand. Because of a pair of eyes that can see ghosts, he can see ghosts every day. He can see things that others can't see, and even from childhood to adulthood, no one wants to be friends with him.
"Do not be silly!"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but patted his shoulder: "How could this be your fault? Who do you think you are? A god? Or the devil who controls death. If you can even control birth, old age, illness and death, then you are now I won’t be a night waiter here anymore.”
"Animals will have abnormal reactions when encountering natural disasters. This is the instinct of living things. Human beings originally had this ability, but on the road to pursuing civilization, they gradually lost this ability. However, when they encounter When they are in danger, they will still send out a distress signal from their subconscious mind, you just have this ability and can receive this signal!"
Hearing this, Xia Dongqing stood up suddenly. He was like an angry tiger, gnashing his teeth, punching and punching the counter in front of him. He roared hysterically: "I understand, I understand you." Meaning, but so what? Do you understand how I feel? The feeling of watching others die but being unable to do anything. That feeling is really painful. Today, just today, I met that person This is the case with the girl. I knew she was going to die, but I couldn't do anything about it! What else could I do? Do I have to run over and tell her: 'Hey, you're going to die. Pay attention.' ah?'"
The more Xia Dongqing talked, the more excited she became. She seemed to be falling into an extreme madness. But at this moment, whether it was Jiang Chen, Zhao Li, or even the somewhat ignorant Wang Xiaoya, although they had not experienced it, they were still able to some extent. I understand Xia Dongqing's mood, the frustration of knowing the future but being unable to change it.
"Do you want to help them change their destiny?"
After a long silence, Jiang Chen suddenly spoke up: "Before answering my question, you'd better think clearly about whether this is what you want to do, regardless of whether you can do it."
"I... ... ... "
Xia Dongqing said: "If possible, I really want to help them, but," he paused and his tone became low: "I'm afraid that I can't do it, and even, I don't know what I should do. Do."
"ha!"
Jiang Chen chuckled in response, "So what? There is no such thing as right or wrong in this world. It's not your obligation to save those people. It's not your fault not to save them. What's important is, It’s about whether you will regret it. If you feel that if you don’t do it, you will regret it in the future, then just do it. No matter whether it is right or wrong, whether the result is good or bad, as long as it is worthy of your heart, that will be enough.”
"Is it worthy of my own heart?" Xia Dongqing couldn't help but froze when he heard this. In a daze, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand at all.
"Mr. Jiang is right. Look, I've told you before. No matter what you see or hear, you are not allowed to interfere or interrupt. But what about you? Have you ever listened to me? , I just want to show off and meddle in my own business, you know, every time you sabotage what I do, I really want to blow your head off with a gun."
Officer Zhao stepped forward and persuaded with a smile: "Really, many times, I always feel that you are very capable and you can defy the heavens!"
"hehe!"
Xia Dongqing responded with a wry smile. He sat on the chair behind the counter and was in a daze for a while. Suddenly, he suddenly stood up and looked at Jiang Chen and Zhao Li. His eyes were full of determination: "Jiang Sir, Mr. Zhao, are you able to find the girl I mentioned?"
