【I didn’t expect that we would meet again so soon.】
【You didn’t expect that I was still alive, did you?】
【It really surprised me, I almost missed you due to an oversight. 】
[I thought we would meet soon, but I didn’t expect that we would seal the victory so soon.]
In the study, Zhang Yichi wrote down everything Makino said in his memory. The only regret was that he was beaten into pieces before he heard a few words, so he could not know the more informative content later.
.
"Dong dong dong." Mo Zhi knocked on the door and walked in, "Ahem, how many cigarettes have you smoked? The whole house is like a fairyland."
Zhang Yichi put out a cigarette in the overflowing ashtray and frowned: "Did Makino say anything after I died?"
"No." Mo Zhi walked to the window and opened it, "After you died, I immediately tried to find a way to save the situation, so I almost fell asleep within a few seconds."
"Well..." Zhang Yichi stared at the four sentences he wrote down on the letter, "Why on earth did he want to kill us."
Unexpectedly came to the desk and read the four sentences written by Zhang Yichi: "It feels like he is looking for someone. He is not chasing us because we were looking into his secrets earlier."
"Then what kind of person can make him so afraid?" Zhang Yichi said.
"I don't know." Mo Zhi shook his head.
"Do you think this sentence is directed at us or to that person?" Zhang Yichi pointed to the first sentence written on the letter paper, "I didn't expect us to meet again so soon" and asked.
Mu Zhi groaned, stood beside Zhang Yichi with his arms crossed, and analyzed: "No matter who you are talking to, there is a reasonable interpretation."
"The amount of information contained in this sentence is not large, but it is enough to show that he and that person have had an intersection for a long time." Zhang Yichi said.
"perhaps."
"The second sentence..." Zhang Yichi's finger moved downwards, pointing to 'You didn't expect that I was still alive, did you?', "This sentence contains a lot of information. Regardless of whether they were enemies or friends in the past, they should
He encountered a huge danger that could threaten his life. With Makino's powerful strength that can tear apart the world of reincarnation, what can threaten him?"
Before Mozhi could express his opinion, Zhang Yichi went to the third sentence: "It really surprised me, I almost missed you due to an oversight": "We have fought with Makino several times before.
"Jiaodao, when he misunderstood that we are the people he is looking for, it is not difficult to understand what he said."
"Well, I have no objection." Mo Zhi nodded.
Zhang Yichi took a deep breath, pointed to the last sentence, 'I thought we would meet soon, but I didn't expect that we would seal the victory so soon.' His face became serious: "This sentence and the second sentence contain a lot of information.
Makino seemed to have been prepared, knowing that he and the person he was looking for would meet sooner or later, but our appearance made him mistakenly think that the meeting was ahead of schedule. And the most critical part of this sentence is actually at the back, to seal the victory...
What does this mean..."
"He's competing with that guy."
"It's obvious."
Mo Chu patted Zhang Yichi on the shoulder: "It's too late. Let's rest first and talk about it tomorrow."
Zhang Yichi closed his bloodshot eyes, unable to conceal his exhaustion: "Can't sleep."
I don't know what else to say.
"For Makino to be so interested, I'm afraid the person he's looking for is not inferior to him in strength." Zhang Yichi hunched over and stared at the letter in concentration, "Are these...the strongest reincarnations...they
The world of reincarnation can be torn apart, but we are still struggling to survive. Are we being teased by gods? Trampled by our own kind? We don’t know when reincarnation will end. We can’t see a trace of light. We can only humblely pray for our own survival.
Can I see my relatives again? Friends."
Mu Zhi lowered his head? The hand on Zhang Yichi's shoulder slipped.
"I don't know how good I have to be to be able to do whatever I want like them. I only know that I can survive until now? I have worked very hard. If I have to say that I can only defeat Makino if I stand at the same height as them?
...Then there should be no hope for me in this life." Zhang Yichi lit up another cigarette.
"Maybe it can be so cruel sometimes." Mu Zhi laughed miserably. "No matter how hard you work? No matter what important status you hold in your own world, in the eyes of others, you will always be just an ant, not even worthy of struggling.
Ants seen."
Zhang Yichi lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked so weak: "Unpredictable."
"Um?"
"Let's move."
"Are you... afraid that Makino will find out that we are still alive?" Mo Xu asked.
Zhang Yichi was silent for a long time: "...Hmm."
"...Leave this matter to me and it will be done tomorrow. The next person who stays here? Will I ask him to keep our secret? Will we disappear from other people's world? Just think of it as being erased."
The unpredictable heart has a unwillingness to say.
"I really want to find a way to continue living here in an upright manner." Zhang Yichi reached out and touched the desk.
Unexpectedly, looking at Zhang Yichi's reluctant hands, he couldn't bear to look at them.
In fact, when they came back tonight, Zhang Yichi locked himself in the study room. Outside, he was so anxious that he was anxious to think of ways to persuade Zhang Yichi to move as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yichi took the initiative to bring this matter up.
He has lived here for more than 20 years. Since his mother passed away, this place has become Zhang Yichi's spiritual support. This old house? The house that is still standing in the bustling urban area occupies a very important place in his heart.
The location made him understand the meaning of home.
This is why he chose to come back after graduating from college. After the world of reincarnation opened, he was unwilling to leave D city even if he gave up teaming up with Mu Zhi.
But now they have no choice.
No one can guarantee that Makino will not track down their whereabouts after returning to the real world. If it is known that they are still living here, the only thing waiting for them is death.
"Do you want to pack your luggage? Take some meaningful things and leave." Mo Zhi asked cautiously.
"Let's talk tomorrow, I'm tired." Zhang Yichi took a deep breath of cigarette and exhaled the thick smoke.
——
September 6, morning
Mozhi has already accompanied the home buyer to view the house.
Because the house was sold in such a hurry, the price was much lower than the market price, which also meant that the buyers could get greater profits. Therefore, people who wanted to buy this house were already busy calling the house.
They chose a pair of elderly people and lowered the price a little further. The only requirement was that no matter who asked, they would tell Zhang Yichi that Zhang Yichi never existed, and that these two people had been living here for half their lives.
The old man asked about the reason, and the mysterious explanation was that they were gamblers and were afraid that their creditors would come to their door.
When he was finally packing his luggage, Mo Chui asked Zhang Yichi to stay in the house by himself and wait for him in the car.
Zhang Yichi walked in and out of one room after another, only picking up a vase with a bouquet of carnations. Before going out, he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the note stuck on the bookshelf.
"The only way to save a stagnant water is to connect it to the ocean."
Looking at the words written on the note, Zhang Yichi paused for a long time.
"call……"
He exhaled a breath and went downstairs.
After sitting in the pickup truck and fastening his seat belt, Mo Zhi couldn't help but ask: "Is this the only thing you bring?"
"Yeah." Zhang Yichi hugged the vase tightly.
"I will definitely buy it back in the future." Mo Zhi comforted.
"It doesn't matter, it's about to be demolished." Zhang Yichi lowered his head and looked at the bunch of carnations, "...let's go."
The pickup truck started and drove away aimlessly.
