The tea cup is empty, but the fragrance still lingers.
Many memories emerged in Zuo Yi's mind, and some dusty past came to mind.
He recalled the meeting with his first love five years ago. The other person came and left in a hurry, without saying a few words to him.
He felt inexplicably sad about this, drank to a crisp in the hotel, and woke up feeling ashamed. But now that he thinks about it, he has a different feeling in his heart.
"Sir, would you like a refill?"
The voice from the milk tea shop waiter interrupted Zuo Yi's memories, and he raised his head in confusion.
The waiter smiled and said: "The coffee and milk tea in my store can be refilled for free."
"Oh, no need."
Zuo Yi shook his head and said, "Thank you."
"OK."
Didi!
Just as Zuo Yi was about to get up and leave, his cell phone suddenly buzzed, indicating that a message had been delivered.
Zuo Yi clicked on it and saw that it was from Wu Yongjian, chief executive of Jiangnan Supervision Bureau.
After his level was upgraded to Level A at the Supervision Bureau, a special encryption program was added to the mobile phone he was issued, which restricted only one-line communication with Wu Yongjian.
It is said that the information content transmitted by this program cannot be intercepted and cracked even by the Supervision Bureau itself.
Wu Yongjian: "Consultant Zuo, has Director Lu come to see you?"
Zuo Yi replied: "Yes, we just met and I promised to help take care of his daughter."
Wu Yongjian: "That's great. I was planning to discuss this matter with you."
Zuo Yi asked: "Is his daughter facing a lot of trouble?"
Wu Yongjian: "Yes, I can't handle it alone, but the two of us together will be fine."
Seeing this reply from the other party, Zuo Yi couldn't help but touch his chin.
Wu Yongjian is an A-level transcendent, a top figure in the real world, and the chief executive of the Jiangnan Supervision Bureau. Even he thinks he can't stand up to Lu Jingyuan's coveter, which shows the great charm of this singer.
It’s really…
How strange it is to see it so rarely!
Because of Bao'er, a little fan girl, Zuo Yi was able to see Lu Jingyuan's singing video. Her singing voice is like a siren, with a special kind of charming power. Coupled with her beautiful face, she can indeed kill men, women and children.
Zuo Yi can be sure that the other party is also a transcendent person, and her ability is reflected in her singing.
Such characters are not uncommon in the world of Sadea. They are called phantom singers. Like the bards, they like to travel around in caravans and rely on performing arts to make a living.
In the world of Sadea, the fantasy singers are very respected because they sing the most beautiful voices in the world. Their songs can make wizards feel peaceful and can also make passionate knights put down their swords.
Listen carefully.
The most powerful singer can use a song to build a fantasy world for the listener, allowing everyone to immerse themselves in it.
Even legends cannot be exempted!
Compared with such a singer, Lu Jingyuan is not even a beginner in this extraordinary field.
Wu Yongjian: "Although Lu Han is my subordinate, he is also my comrade-in-arms. During his absence, it is also my responsibility to protect his daughter. If you encounter any problems, just come to me."
Zuo Yi thought for a while and replied: "Okay."
Wu Yongjian: "Thank you!"
These two simple words made Zuo Yi feel a little heavy. The chief executive of Jiangnan Supervision Bureau must be in a very bad mood at this moment.
Zuo Yi: "It should be."
If he chooses to join the Super Management Bureau, it is equivalent to standing in the camp of the Super Management Bureau. Lu Han is also his comrade-in-arms!
If Zuo Yi didn't have the ability and strength, in order to avoid getting into trouble, he would stand by and no one could blame him.
Now that he has enough strength, protecting Lu Jingyuan is just a piece of cake!
As for remuneration...
Zuo Yi thought about whether he should ask her how many concert tickets she wanted - what if Wang Jiaojiao didn't buy the tickets?
He burst into laughter, got up and returned to the martial arts hall.
In the evening, Zuo Yi took Bao'er to Shang Yulin's house for dinner.
Routine meal.
There was really nothing I could do, Liang Xuemei liked Bao'er so much that she panicked after not seeing her for two days, whispered to Shang Yulin, and called Zuo Yi personally, so Zuo Yi had to obediently deliver the "goods" to his door.
When he arrived at home, Shang Yulin opened the door and went in, and saw Liang Xuemei sitting on the sofa in the living room. She had just put down her phone and wiped the tears from her eyes in a panic.
"mom…"
Shang Yulin asked in surprise: "What happened?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
Liang Xuemei waved her hands and smiled at Zuo Yi: "Little Zuo is here, Bao'er, let grandma hug you."
"Hello grandma."
Bao'er obediently threw himself into his arms, which immediately made Liang Xuemei smile: "Bao'er is so good!"
But Shang Yulin couldn't pretend that he hadn't seen the scene just now and stamped his feet: "Mom!"
"It's really okay."
Liang Xuemei glared at her daughter and said, "I just had a few words with your Aunt Zhuang, eh~"
She let out a long sigh.
Shang Yulin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is Aunt Zhuang okay?"
"It's almost the same as before..."
Liang Xuemei sighed: "I don't know how to persuade her. You guys sit down and I'll go to the kitchen to cook."
Shang Yulin said: "I'll help you."
"Need not!"
Liang Xuemei glared at her again: "I'm in good health now. You help Bao'er peel the apples, and I can do it myself."
Shang Yulin curled his lips.
Liang Xuemei kissed Bao'er and ran to the kitchen to show off her cooking skills.
Shang Yulin sat down on the sofa, took Bao'er to peel the fruit for her, and turned on the TV for her to watch.
Then he sat down and chatted with Zuo Yi.
Zuo Yi asked curiously: "Who is Aunt Zhuang?"
Shang Yulin handed the freshly peeled apple to Zuo Yi and explained: "Aunt Zhuang is my mother's friend."
Sisters who have been old for many years usually have a good relationship, but this Aunt Zhuang's fate was very bumpy. She divorced her husband very early, and then she was left alone with her daughter to depend on each other.
Just last year, her only daughter Xiaoyun died unexpectedly.
"Since then, Aunt Zhuang has had some mental problems..."
Shang Yulin said bitterly: "She firmly believed that Xiaoyun was not dead. She said that Xiaoyun was still at home. She could hear Xiaoyun talking to her, and then her health became worse and worse."
"I visited her several times, but she was unwilling to go to the hospital for medical treatment. She said she was afraid that she would not be able to see Xiaoyun if she left home."
As he said this, Shang Yulin's mood also became depressed.
Because in the past six months, Liang Xuemei's condition was also very bad, which made her worry day and night.
Now Liang Xuemei has recovered her health, but Aunt Zhuang still cannot get rid of the nightmare of her daughter's death and can't help but sigh.
"Zuo Yi."
Shang Yulin asked softly: "Do you think there are ghosts in the world?"
She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but every time she went to Aunt Zhuang's home, she always felt as if Xiaoyun was really still there.
Of course Shang Yulin and Xiaoyun knew each other, but their life circles were completely different, so they didn't have a deep friendship.
Ghost...
Zuo Yi took a bite of the apple thoughtfully - this problem is a bit complicated.
In the world of Sadea, ghosts are real things. They are not human souls, because after the death of all intelligent creatures, the souls must return to the endless river of Styx unless they are destroyed.
This is one of the basic laws of the multiverse, and the Blue Star world is certainly no exception.
The so-called ghosts are actually the obsessions of intelligent beings that remain in the world when they die. The existence of this obsession is called a spirit body, which is mainly divided into two types: resentful spirits and white spirits.
Most of the spirit bodies have no memory of their lifetime, and they exist due to strong obsessions and slowly disappear over time.
Some spirits retain part of their memories. They do not know that they are dead, and they wander around familiar places or familiar people, existing in a hazy state.
Wraiths and white spirits can have a mental impact on living people and even cause hallucinations. If they gain the power of the law, they will evolve into stronger or more terrifying existences.
The necromancers of Sadea are the best at controlling spirits.
Spirit bodies are by no means a rare thing to Zuo Yi. He doesn't know how many he has seen, and the necromancers who died under his sword can fill the entire wizard tower.
But after returning to Blue Star, Zuo Yi has not seen any spiritual bodies, which is what Shang Yulin called ghosts.
He suddenly became a little interested in Aunt Zhuang and Xiaoyun.
