The prophet did not leave immediately today. She was watering the flowers on the balcony. After hearing the exchange between Qi Xuan and Coco, she turned back and waved to Qi Xuan.
Qi Xuan walked over, and then the mother-in-law said: "Don't be angry with that child, she is actually very fragile, but also very stubborn."
Qi Xuan didn't say anything after hearing this. He stood behind his mother-in-law and looked at the flowers in the room, enjoying the silence of this moment.
"Anyone will become like this after losing so much, right? What do you think?" Qi Xuanwen was stunned by the mother-in-law's rambling words.
"What did you lose?" Qi Xuan didn't understand, but he still guessed something.
However, the mother-in-law did not answer. She came over and touched Qi Xuan's face with a smile. Her rough palms were a bit prickly, but Qi Xuan did not hide, and even felt very friendly.
"Keke, do you want to go out for a walk with your mother-in-law? I want to go to the candy store where I went last time to buy something."
"Okay." Coco quickly put down what she was doing, wiped her hands, took off her apron and followed the prophet out the door.
Only Qi Xuan and Uncle Li, who were completely unfamiliar, were left in the room.
Uncle Li was humming a song and cleaning the house. Qi Xuan couldn't sit still after sitting for a while.
"Uncle Li, is there anything you need me to do?"
Uncle Li was startled for a moment, then put down his pipe and thought for a while, "It's true. Take this key and help me bring up the prepared lunches from the warehouse downstairs. I'll have to deliver the meals later.
.”
convenient?
Qi Xuan took the key and went downstairs. The room downstairs was not big, and there were only two rooms. The one with the door open on one side contained many fresh vegetables, and the one with the door closed on the other side should be the warehouse.
After opening the door, a gust of cold wind blew through. It turned out that there was an open cold storage in this warehouse.
The warehouse is not big and there are not many things. Qi Xuan easily found the lunch boxes placed near the cold storage. They were neatly placed in two baskets and seemed to be quite large.
Carrying the lunch box back to the second floor, Uncle Li also finished cleaning. He said thank you and took the lunch box and went out, leaving Qi Xuan in the room with nothing to do again.
The kind-hearted Uncle Li stopped when he reached the door. He turned around and asked with a smile: "Would you like to come with me? I will be back in a while, so I won't delay you and Coco's mission."
Qi Xuan immediately agreed.
Following Uncle Li all the way down the suspended stairs to the city blocks, Uncle Li asked on the way: "What do you think of this girl Keke?"
Qi Xuan was a little dazed when he was asked, why did he feel that Uncle Li's tone sounded like he was talking about marriage.
So Qi Xuan didn't dare to say more and just replied: "He is a good partner."
Uncle Li glanced at Qi Xuan, his face expressionless, which made Qi Xuan feel a little hairy.
What? Did I say something wrong?
While muttering, Uncle Li suddenly smiled and said: "Coco's previous partners are all dead, but you are the only one who said she was not bad."
"Uh..." This was something Qi Xuan didn't expect.
"But don't worry. I heard from the prophet that this mission is not that difficult. As long as you are careful, the twenty days will pass quickly." Uncle Li bit his pipe and spoke without any clues.
Yes, Qi Xuan was completely confused.
"Oh..." Qi Xuan didn't know whether he should be worried or not. After all, he was just an outsider, and everything here was only related to him for a short period of twenty days, so Qi Xuan hesitated and did not ask.
He turned his attention to both sides of the street.
Everything here is indeed very similar to Cerberus, especially the sense of busyness. Everyone is immersed in walking and has no time to stop. Therefore, although there are many people on the street, they are silent. Only the footsteps are intertwined, making everything
It seemed crowded and lonely.
But fortunately, everything here looks charming and shiny. Everything is brand new, clean and tidy, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
The place where Uncle Li delivered the meal was a school. Classes were currently taking place in the school, and the children were listening to the teachings in their respective classrooms. Such real details made Qi Xuan feel a little redundant. After all, this is a world of numbers, so why still
How to educate knowledge and skills in such a primitive way?
But this is the case here. If it is really redundant, then all this world based on the numerical sequence structure should be redundant. Qi Xuan did not expect this, maybe he did not care about everything he saw in front of him.
During the lunch break, Uncle Li had already heated up the lunch boxes. The children gathered around and received them in an orderly manner. Each child had a smile on his face and greeted Uncle Li cordially, and then said thank you.
After helping Uncle Li distribute the bento, Qi Xuan received a drink as a reward.
In fact, he didn't do anything, he just mechanically repeated the process of delivering and replying "You're welcome".
"How does it taste?" Uncle Li asked with a smile.
Qi Xuan took a sip. It was sour and sweet, but also had the feeling of sparkling water. It was not very special.
"Not bad." Qi Xuan was sitting in the corner of the campus, with the playground behind him. Children were eating in groups near the grass of the playground.
Seeing this scene, Qi Xuan became much quieter...
In fact, this is quite good... There is no righteousness for the family and the country, and there is no life-and-death battle. Some are just ordinary daily life. When we have these simplest things, no one will know how to cherish them, but now
Qi Xuan was secretly envious.
This kind of envy slowly turned into a kind of longing. He began to miss the real world, the days of playing with friends, and the days of Yu'er's company. But all this started after bumping into Yu'er on that rainy night.
of……
"The parents of these children are gone." Uncle Li suddenly said.
Qi Xuan was lost in thought. After hearing this, he asked in a daze: "What?"
"In order to protect this place, the parents of these children died in the battle with Hua." Uncle Li repeated it and completed the sentence.
Qi Xuan heard it clearly, and then he felt the sting of a disordered worldview and once again had a cognitive illusion about the world.
Is this really just the virtual world of the game "Beyond the Mirror"? Then this game has gone too far... Why do you want to build so many things that seem to have nothing to do with the victory rules of the entire game?
These histories, these people, and these children?
As well as those dead glory guards, and Hua... Is this really just a detailed process for a perfect mission?
There are many similar doubts, most of which are about reflection and understanding of the world. Qi Xuan looked at the every move of the children in the distance. Each of them had a different smile, and each of them had a different habit of using tableware.
They are different, even what they like to eat, what they eat first, what they eat last, all of these are different.
When he noticed this, Qi Xuan stood up in a panic and began to check more details.
