Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou had just joined the company, and there happened to be no major criminal cases recently. In the next week, both of them were relatively free, so Yu Hanjiang took Xiao Lou to get familiar with the environment in Jiangzhou.
However, Yu Hanjiang drove Xiao Lou to work every morning. Xiao Lou was worried that his colleagues would doubt their relationship over time, so Yu Hanjiang thoughtfully made an excuse and said: "Xiao Lou lives only one block away from my home.
Road, I'll pick him up on the way to work."
Since Team Yu had an upright and serious face, his colleagues in the team naturally had no doubts about his explanation.
The two of them got along like ordinary colleagues. Yu Hanjiang relied on his rich experience in the past three years to quickly familiarize Xiao Lou with the work process of the police forensics.
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
According to the agreement, everyone will meet at the place booked by Chu Huaying after get off work on Friday.
She chose the Taekwondo training center run by her parents. In order to facilitate everyone's secret communication, the training center was completely cleared. There was not a single member. Chu Huaying even locked the door strictly. Two students, Liu Qiao and Ye Qi, did not know.
What reason did you use to convince your parents that they actually rushed over? Everyone else in Jiangzhou was also present.
Lu Jiuchuan looked at the sandbags in the room and Chu Huaying's black sportswear, and couldn't help but joked: "Huaying originally studied Taekwondo. I said that even if the average girl's physical fitness is strengthened, it is impossible for her to be so flexible.
.”
Xiao Lou felt that after returning to the real world, if there was a 1v1 duel, the only ones who could beat Chu Huaying would probably be Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan, while the others would be knocked down by this "kung fu" sister in minutes.
Liu Qiao looked admiring: "Sister Ying, can you teach me some self-defense techniques?"
Chu Huaying said cheerfully: "No problem, you can come to me for private lessons when you are free in the future."
She invited everyone to sit down in a lounge, poured a glass of water for each person, and then continued: "We have come back from another world after all. My dad has already given me the responsibility to take care of this training room.
It’s very discreet, so you don’t have to worry about anyone hearing you when you chat.”
Shao Qingge smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Yes, we can use this place as our temporary base in the future."
Ye Qi said excitedly: "It feels like our private gathering is becoming more and more like a spy movie."
Everyone looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
The long-lost smile, this is their first gathering after leaving the card world, a gathering where there is no longer any pressure to survive.
It's great to be back with so many friends and have so many things in common.
Looking at Ye Qi, who was only 16 years old, Shao Qingge couldn't help but touch Ye Qi's head: "He was quite cute when he was a child."
Ye Qi was angry: "What does it mean to be a child? I'm not a child anymore, okay?!"
Shao Qingge smiled half-heartedly: "What's wrong with you?"
Seeing that these two guys who often quarreled with each other wanted to divert the topic again, Yu Hanjiang immediately said seriously: "We are gathering together today to discuss the issue of returning to old age. What do you think?"
Chu Huaying said: "I have Gui Lao's detailed address in my hand, and Mr. Tang also found out that Gui Lao's flight ticket returned to Jiangzhou last night. Are you going to visit him directly? Or try to find out his contact information, and slowly
Contact?" She looked at Yu Hanjiang: "Captain Yu is a criminal police officer, it should be easy to check a person's contact information, right?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded and put the note with the phone number on the table: "Now the phone numbers are all real-name, and the contact information is really easy to check. We can call him first to find out what he is saying. However, I found out yesterday
After he called me, I tried to apply to add him as a WeChat friend, but it never got approved. I think Gui Lao might not remember us."
Xiao Lou was startled, then looked back at Yu Hanjiang: "You mean, Senior Gui doesn't travel through time and space like us, and the Senior Gui we are about to face is the same person he was three years ago?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "His identity is a hunter. Just because we have cleared the level does not mean that he has also passed the level. Going back to three years ago with memories is a reward given to challengers by the card world. Hunters should not get the same
reward.”
When Ye Qi heard this, he couldn't help scratching his head and said in confusion: "In other words, the old man now has no memory of the next three years, nor any memory of the card world? He doesn't know any of us at all.
?”
Yu Hanjiang nodded solemnly: "That's right."
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
But if you think about it carefully, this ending may be the most reasonable.
If time goes back three years and all the hunters in this world can retain their memories, it would really be unfair to the challengers who have worked so hard to clear the level.
For example, if Cheng Ziyang, Xu Muran and other ruthless hunters retained their memories and were reborn in the past because time was set back three years, wouldn't they cause trouble for Xiao Lou and the others everywhere?
The challengers who clear the level retain their memories and are reborn in the past, changing their destiny; the hunters who have not cleared the level remain the same. As long as Xiao Lou and the others do not deliberately rescue them, people like Xu Muran and Cheng Ziyang will still die within three years.
But if Xiao Lou and the others had intervened in the development of the incident, these people might have been saved.
This is actually easy to verify.
Xiao Lou immediately looked at Liu Qiao: "Xiao Liu, does your sister remember what happened in the card world?"
Liu Qiao quickly replied: "Actually, I have been looking for an opportunity to tell everyone about this. My sister doesn't remember anything. I tested her many times, but she didn't know the existence of the card world at all, and she didn't know how to connect.
Anything that will happen in the next three years. What I met should be my sister from three years ago."
Lu Jiuchuan frowned slightly: "It seems that Lao Gui should be the same as Liu Ying. He is also a hunter. We have pushed the time of this world forward by three years, but only the 11 passers like us have the next memory.
"
Tang Ci said seriously: "This is the biggest reward that the card world gives to those who clear the level."
Going back three years and having the memories of the next three years, there is so much they can do.
For example, Liu Qiao may remember the test papers three years later and can work hard to get into a better university; Shao Qingge remembers the stocks with the best growth in the past three years, and the company's performance will naturally flourish; Lu Jiuchuan knows the crisis he will encounter;
Tang Ci knows the company's projects and can avoid many detours; Yu Hanjiang even knows the time and murderer of the criminal cases in the next three years...
This is simply a "rebirth plug-in" for them.
In fact, they should have discovered this a long time ago, because although everyone does not know Gui Lao's information, Gui Lao knows Mr. Shao and Xiao Lou's mobile phone numbers very well. If Gui Lao remembers everything in the card world, even if he is not in Jiangzhou City
, we will also call you as soon as possible.
But until now, no one has received any news from Gui Lao.
After fighting side by side for so long, Gui Yuanzhang could not remember these comrades from the past, which made everyone feel uncomfortable. The room suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was indescribably depressed.
After a while, Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said softly: "Perhaps, when the senior chose to become a hunter, he was mentally prepared to be completely wiped out. The ending now... at least he is still alive."
Lu Jiuchuan said seriously: "Yeah, it's actually good to be a normal person if you don't remember those bloody and cruel experiences. He is so old now, he should retire at home and play chess, fishing and so on every day.
Enjoy your retirement."
Enjoy your retirement.
Perhaps for Senior Gui, this ending is the best.
Tang Ci suggested in a low voice: "No matter what, we have to prevent him from dying suddenly of a heart attack. Don't mention things about the card world in front of him. He probably won't believe it if we do."
Xiao Lou agreed: "Although he doesn't know us at all now, Senior Gui's character has not changed. We can still slowly become friends with him, right?"
Everyone felt much better after hearing these words.
If the old man still has a heart disease, don't irritate him. Wouldn't it be good to let him spend his old age happily? The experience in the card world was full of hardships, but it was also precious. Those who remember it will naturally remember it for a lifetime.
; But people who don’t remember can still live a peaceful and stable life and die a good death.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded tacitly.
Shao Qingge rubbed his temples and said, "In this case, we can't just crowd in to find Mr. Gui, right? With so many strangers coming to our door, we might scare Mr. Gui into having a heart attack in advance."
Everyone: "..."
From Senior Gui's point of view, it is really scary that a group of inexplicable young people come directly to your door.
Yu Hanjiang suggested: "If we rashly disturb him and ask him to check his heart without him knowing us, he will think there is something wrong with our brains. So, why don't we find a way to invite him out for a physical examination?"
Shao Qingge thought for a while and suddenly said: "This is easy to handle. I know many people in the business world, and some of them must know Gui Lao's son. I first approached Gui Lao's son and actively instilled the concept that the elderly must have regular physical examinations. Based on our company's
In my name, I gave him a luxury package for a full physical examination at a private hospital and asked him to go back and give it to his father."
Xiao Loudao: "I know an expert in cardiology who has a very good relationship with my tutor. I contacted Professor Sun in advance to help him do a comprehensive examination. If the coronary stenosis is not serious, drug intervention can be done in advance.
, or put in a stent to prevent a sudden myocardial infarction three years later."
Ye Qi couldn't help but applaud: "This method is quite roundabout! However, this way the seniors will not doubt our intentions, and they can go for the physical examination obediently."
Lao Mo chuckled and said: "I remember Hua Ying said that Gui Lao's house seems to be renovated, right? I can use the name of my studio to make a few designs for him for free to make him live more comfortably."
Long Sen scratched his head and said, "I don't think there's anything I can do to help... By the way, does he have a grandson? Does he like to play badminton, table tennis, etc.? I can teach him for free!"
Qu Wanyue said: "I wonder if Gui Lao has a granddaughter. If she wants to learn dance, I can teach her for free."
Ye Qi said excitedly: "I can teach musical instruments!"
Liu Qiao: "I can tutor children in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and my science scores have always been good."
Everyone: “…………”
Are you going to take over the rhythm of returning home to three generations of grandparents?
However, everyone worked together to help Senior Gui, which seemed to be back to the time when we worked together to find a way to clear the level. For everyone, Senior Gui was an integral part of the team, even if he returned to three years ago and did not have this period
Memory, everyone will not give up on him, they just want to stay with this old friend in another way.
At this time, Gui Yuanzhang, who had just had dinner and felt a little stuffy in his chest, suddenly sneezed three times in a row.
He rubbed his nose in confusion.
There is a folk saying that if you sneeze continuously, someone is thinking about you.
Hmm... who is thinking about him?
The author has something to say:
The extra chapter is written according to the timeline. Everyone has to meet Gui Lao on the weekend, so I write about Gui Lao first.
After writing about returning to old age, returning to Xiaolou, Yu Hanjiang’s daily life~~
