Zhang Ke was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Ye Suling to say this - although from his own perspective, he and Ye Suling had been related for a long time due to various reasons, so they could be regarded as half-old acquaintances.
But in Ye Suling's view, she was just a stranger whom she just met today and knew her name, right? And it was because of the inexplicable reason that Troy called her to the university to face a female madman together.
Even if his previous actions saved her in terms of results, it was nothing more than mutual debt. I really didn't expect Ye Suling to say such words so sincerely.
"You must think I'm weird, right?" Ye Suling smiled and said with some self-deprecation, "I also find it weird. We just met today, but I inexplicably feel that there is something familiar about you that I can't ignore.
Not only does it feel like I have seen you somewhere before, but I have even crossed paths with you many times."
"Really?" Zhang Ke nodded with a smile. This was understandable to him. After all, he had known for a long time that Ye Suling had a special sense of déjà vu for what happened in previous reincarnations, so although she did not remember what happened to her.
What, but it’s normal to feel familiar.
"But what is the first impression I have in your mind?" Zhang Ke continued to ask, because he knew that his first few interactions with Ye Suling did not leave anything good for the other party.
The impression is that he appears as a murderer.
"Hmm... To be honest, my first thought when I saw you in the elevator was that I wanted to arrest you immediately and take you back to the police station. Isn't it strange?" Ye Suling laughed a little embarrassedly.
"Wow, so you think I'm a bad person?" Zhang Ke smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had already guessed such an answer.
"Actually... not really. I don't know why, but there is a voice in my heart telling me, 'This man has an ulterior secret, hurry up and interrogate him!'. But at the same time, there is another voice.
It seems to be saying, 'He must have unspeakable difficulties, cooperate with him and trust him'."
Through the moonlight that penetrated the gap, Ye Suling saw some subtle changes in the expression on Zhang Ke's face, and couldn't help but continued with some embarrassment: "Does it sound strange? Or even childish? But the two thoughts in my mind at the time,
It's like children fighting each other, but because the threat is right in front of me, I finally chose to stand on a united front with you for the time being."
"What about now?" Zhang Ke asked, "The immediate danger has not been overcome at all. Who knows what your little boyfriend will do in a while."
"As for now -" Ye Suling said with a very certain tone, "I believe that you are by no means a vicious person, and I am also sure that you must be hiding something from me, and it will be difficult for you to tell anyone, but I believe that one day in the future
, you will be willing to take the initiative to ask me for help and let me share the burden with you."
"I hope it can be like this." Zhang Ke looked at Ye Suling's face, which not only looked heroic in the moonlight, but also added a pure beauty to her that was usually difficult to detect with her loose hair.
Her eyes were so clear, like moonlight shining through the night sky, like rippling waves of clear water, making it impossible for anyone to see any dirt or impurities.
An inexplicable urge to talk suddenly surged in Zhang Ke's heart, a kind of loneliness with no one to talk to, and a feeling of eagerness to talk out after finally meeting a possible soulmate.
"If the truth I tell you deviates too much from your usual understanding of the reality of the world, and even sounds ridiculous, like a nonsense fantasy story, will you be willing to believe it?"
Finally, Zhang Ke still couldn't suppress the strong urge to confide in his heart and blurted out.
"How absurd?" Ye Suling said with a smile, "For example, the sky and white clouds are actually soft marshmallows, and are we all gingerbread men living in sugar jars?"
"It's not that fairy tale, but -" Zhang Ke looked into Ye Suling's eyes and said softly, "The level of absurdity is about the same."
"Huh? No way - could it be said that you hit a ghost?" Ye Suling's tone was still a little teasing. Perhaps she felt that Zhang Ke's voice was a bit heavy and wanted to liven up the atmosphere.
"It's not me, it's this world." Zhang Ke said in a deep voice, "This whole world's time is going around in a damn cycle."
"Cycle...can you explain in detail what you mean?" Hearing this, Ye Suling's subconscious tone became serious, as if she subconsciously realized that Zhang Ke was not joking or talking nonsense.
"The world we live in actually resets every 24 hours, returning to 23:30 of the previous day, and then everything starts over again according to the original trajectory, and the cycle starts again at 23:30 of the next day.
." Zhang Ke said:
"But for the vast majority of people, they have no memory of time looping, because their entire state has been reset along with the whole world, and even their brains have returned to the state they were in at midnight the previous day. Naturally
There won’t be those extra memories. For them, they are just living an ordinary day like the most ordinary daily life, but they don’t know that it has been reincarnated countless times.”
"However, there is a type of people who are an outlier among the crowd. They can more or less retain part of the memory in the time cycle, some more and some less. Some people may even have only a vague idea, but with the reincarnation
As the number of people continued to increase, they finally realized the fact that they were trapped in the same day." Zhang Ke said:
"This kind of people are collectively called time-tracers, and I am a particularly special one among them, because I can record almost all cyclic memories and call them up anytime and anywhere without any restrictions or shortcomings. It is like living in the past.
Like normal time, the world of reincarnation is just a highly repetitive new day for me."
"This... this is too..." Ye Suling opened her mouth, suddenly not knowing what words to use to describe it.
Absurd? Absurd? Supernatural? Too imaginative? Even ridiculous - if someone else told Ye Suling this, she would definitely suspect that the other person was either a lunatic, or joking, or was deliberately making up a story to hide something that could not be told.
human facts.
But when the man in front of her said it, although she still found it difficult to accept it intellectually, she was not eager to refute or characterize it. Instead, she looked into Zhang Ke's serious eyes and said:
