Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a few seconds before she calmed down from the shock and asked a question.
"That's not right," she murmured, "you think there is a body butler around here because you doubt that [cognitive balance is the key to a happy life], this ability has taken effect on Pina. But why do you
Do you doubt that it has taken effect? If it doesn’t happen, doesn’t it mean that there are no body stewards around here?”
Unlike forcibly interpreting a stranger as an old friend, there was nothing in Pina's story that she found unreasonable: Yu Yuan gave [The Prince and the Beggar] to Pina, and the latter was able to change his face.
I just escaped from the crowd. It's reasonable. What's weird about this?
Why do people need to change their perception?
"Besides, if there are body stewards nearby, why don't they take action since they see us?" Lin Sanjiu said, as if frightened, he hurriedly looked around again. There were evolutionaries coming and going, far and near.
, no one glanced at the two of them twice.
"Because he's waiting for us to rejoin."
Ji Shanqing sighed and whispered: "This is why I just said that we must pretend to prepare to rendezvous and return to Exodus... We must give Ousius a hope and let him think that there is a chance to catch them all in one fell swoop.
They are right in front of him, so he won't start one by one now.
"If Oasis knows now that we are not going to reunite at all, and he has no hope of catching them all, then even if it is a little troublesome, he will start to take action. Once he takes action, we will have no chance, so we must try our best
Delay time."
Lin Sanjiu was still a little unwilling: "Why did you identify it?"
Ji Shanqing paused. "I also hope I'm overthinking, sister."
He didn't think he was overthinking it - as soon as he heard these words, Lin Sanjiu realized that the gift bag was trying to soften the impact on her in this way.
Her heart sank. For a moment, it felt as if a turtle had its shell removed, and the softest and most fragile parts of her body that had never seen the sun were exposed to the outside world.
If she is just a "body steward", of course she will not be emotionally impacted and does not need to be protected: soldiers will block it, water will cover it, and there are many dangers and difficulties, and it will be enough to meet them.
...She is only afraid of one thing.
"Pina's statement has no flaws on the surface, but if you think about it carefully, you will feel that something is wrong." Ji Shanqing's hand had been nestled in Lin Sanjiu's hand, but at this moment he lowered his eyes and said in a breathy voice
Said: "In the first half of her narration, she mentioned that she had been covering her face with her hands. Several people were suspicious of her and looked at her. At this time, Yu Yuan walked up and took [The Prince and the Beggar]
】Give it to her and save her life, right?"
Lin Sanjiu nodded.
"How did you give it to her?" Li Bao said a few words slowly.
"How to give it? Just -" Lin Sanjiu started to answer, and then she responded with an "Ah".
At that time, Pina covered her face with her hands and was under the gaze of several people. How could Yu Yuan just walk up and stuff Pina with the items in front of those people?
"If I were Yu Yuan, since I am no longer my true self, I would pretend to go up to check Pina's appearance, and when I pull her hand away, I would put something into her hand." Ji Shanqing said lowly.
He said, "Other than that, any other method that can be used right away is not safe. Someone may find the item being passed around, and Pina may not be able to get it. Pina may not realize what she got...
The most natural way to approach her is to pretend to check her out."
Lin Sanjiu nodded again. She was still a little confused at this moment, not sure where she saw the problem with the gift bag.
"But getting it doesn't mean it's safe. Pina still needs a chance to use it." Ji Shanqing continued to lower his head and said, "Let's put ourselves in someone's shoes. When there are people watching around,
After Pina gets the thing, how can she have the opportunity to touch other people's faces and change her appearance? Obviously, this is impossible if she is still standing motionless - every one of her
Everything you do is under the eyes of others."
"Then what do you think they did at that time?"
"Let Pina run." Ji Shanqing frowned as he said this. "Yu Yuan must have created an opportunity to let Pina run away. Only if Pina ran into the crowd first, could she take advantage of the chaos and fight
Others exchanged faces. I can't guess what he did specifically, but in any case, we already know that in order to ensure that Pina could escape smoothly, he stayed behind. "
Why guess?
Just ask Yu Yuan what Yu Yuan did, right?
Lin Sanjiu wanted to ask, but couldn't formulate the question.
"So?" she whispered, "I still don't understand... Even if your guess is correct, what does it mean?"
"Based on the circumstances at that time, it is almost impossible that Yu Yuan exchanged looks with others at the moment he saw Pina. He must have already exchanged looks and saw Pina when he was walking out from the crowd. Also.
That is to say, when he created an opportunity for Pina to escape, the duration of the effect of [The Prince and the Beggar] on him was less than one minute."
Ji Shanqing thought for a while and said: "In this case, he couldn't seize the time and run away on his own. Instead, he had to stand behind Pina and try his best to hold off the pursuer and create an opportunity for her to escape.
…”
Lin Sanjiu finally understood what he was going to say.
What he said next was exactly as she expected: "Even if Yu Yuan was downplaying and didn't tell her everything, Pina must have known it deep down in her consciousness. When she turned around and didn't see Yu Yuan, he simply
The possibility of getting separated is very small, but the possibility of encountering danger is very high."
"That's why when I first told Pina that we had seen Yu Yuan, she was surprised, happy and in disbelief." Lin Sanjiu said in a low voice.
"Yes," Libao nodded, as if this matter was his fault, and he was a little ashamed.
Lin Sanjiu murmured: "But... Pina didn't worry about this at all just now."
"She paused for a moment when she told how a few people kept staring at her," Libao said. "Then she changed her story and concluded that those people didn't chase her anymore because they saw her new appearance.
It was not for other reasons. The great possibility that 'Yu Yuan might have been in danger at that time' was thus eliminated from her cognition."
Lin Sanjiu held Ji Shanqing's hand tightly and whispered: "What do you mean..."
"Yu Yuan was in danger at that time; there is a body steward nearby; and we just saw Yu Yuan nearby." He smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, Oculus can occupy the body of an evolved person...
"
Lin Sanjiu stopped and looked back at the direction he was walking.
Along the way we just walked, the light was scattered and dim, and there were always people coming and going, talking, and despite being nervous and panicked, there was a beating, pulse-like life.
She could not imagine that Yu Yuan, a young man covered in black tattoos with a gentle and open-minded personality, was clearly in the same world as her, but was walking step by step into the pitch-black abyss.
Yu Yuan didn't give up on Pina then, and she certainly won't give up on Yu Yuan now.
"We have to think of a way to inform everyone not to come here, and buy some time first. I want to save him...even if he has fallen into the hands of Oasis, I will try to rescue him.
."
She looked at the mountain forest that was eroded by the darkness. She didn't know where her former friend was standing, looking at her from a distance.
I'm out of line! It feels like I plunged into a big river or a sea, thinking that I was in vain, but when I looked back, the rope around my waist was broken!
There are many characters and complex plots, and there are many pitfalls. It’s so annoying to write. It just goes away on its own without waiting for me.
