Chapter 18 The Price(1/2)

The familiar black and white picture came again. After this situation, I have gradually become accustomed to such changes, quietly waiting for the real world to open again in silence and stillness.

This is like going to bed with a girl. It may be a little unfamiliar with the first time, but I will definitely get used to it later.

It was like a virtual landscape album. The world first solidified for a while, and then slowly turned into a black and white picture. After the black and white image was shattered, countless pieces floated in the air and gathered again, like metal fragments pulled by some kind of gravity.

After the picture recondensed, I found myself sitting in the school classroom, which happened to be the class of the Beauty Teacher. From my perspective, I could see Teacher Zhu Weixin’s slender and beautiful calves.

I didn't need to confirm the date. I touched the neck without any marks. I was sure that my bones were not broken yet. I knew I was back.

Sitting in the classroom seat, I turned my head and looked at Fang Dingkun, who was looking at the beautiful teacher with longing, and felt the urge to laugh wildly.

That's right, I'm back!

While trying to hold back the urge to laugh wildly, I began to call Elsia deep in my heart. For some reason, I was somewhat moved when Elsia burned her soul and woke me up. For these gods, everything about humans probably has nothing to do with them, right? I was surprised that Elsia could do this for me.

"Human, I heard your call."

I almost burst into tears when I heard Elsia's usual cold but extremely gentle voice. However, when I was excited, my thinking became more active suddenly reminded me of something.

"Banana, you scar, Alcia, you lied to me!"

Elsia's soul and mine should be in sync. The last time I activated the ability to rebirth in death, she came out to be a teacher for a long time and explained it, indicating that the rewind of time has no effect on her, after all, she is a future goddess.

——So isn’t this woman’s so-called burning of souls nonsense? If she really burns her soul, I can’t save her even if I start to die and rebirth!

A few days ago, the goddess who swears that she never lies is now starting to lie and cannot live this life!

I cursed Elsia in my mind for a long time, and suddenly I heard the goddess ask me in her voice.

“Did I say that burning the soul will make the soul disappear?”

I was blocked by Elsia after half of my scolding. Today I discovered that human treason is a few levels lower than the treason of the goddess. These strong men who have been charlatans in ancient times have been professionals.

"I'm just encouraging you, human."

Elsia said it easily, why do I feel so awkward when I hear it?

Forget it, I have already come alive anyway, so I don’t care about this kind of woman. While I was tilting my head to pretend to admire Teacher Zhu Weixin, I started to think about how to take Tan Feifei around the previous disaster after class.

After all, I still think that the root of the grass should be eradicated. I guess that Tom Brother was not strong enough, and I never expected that he would dare to beat me seriously in the street. The moment that Tan Feifei blocked me at first could be fatal.

I believe that there must be a tougher backstage behind Tom Brother, otherwise he would not be so arrogant. Should I also find any way to deal with him?

Just as she was wondering whether Elsia brought enough power to bring down Tombeau when she improved her divine power, the goddess suddenly said something.

"Humans, the result of burning souls is that their divine power is empty. You have to go to another place with water on the night of the most recent full moon."

Upon hearing this news, I almost fainted in class.

Just after the get out of class was over, I pulled Tan Feifei back from another direction, and didn't mention that I planned to find a place to work. Anyway, Tan Feifei had already revealed the message to me, and I also recognized the boss of the "sound world" that if I want to work, I might as well contact myself. Now I have used the ability of "death rebirth" and can't encounter any emergencies again. At present, I can only go home honestly and avoid seven days before talking about it.

After seeing Tan Feifei off at the school bus station, I was about to see if there were any other places nearby that would allow Elsia to absorb the triple reflection of moonlight, but I met a slender boy wearing skeleton earrings on the street.

This time, everyone is no longer strangers, Chen Wuji greeted me with a smile.

"How can I always meet you here?"

I remembered that the families of these people have some connection with ancient magic legends, and I knew that they might also come to find places to absorb and reflect the moonlight. Faced with such a strong man, I had no ability to die and rebirth, so I could only laugh with him.

"Fate, classmate...whether of your brothers? Are you not together?"

Chen Wuji smiled and pointed to a bar next to him: "We are all busy, do you want to be with me?"

Regarding such money-spending, I quickly waved my hand: "No, no, let's go another day. I'm busy going home and looking for things to do."

After hearing what I said, Chen Wuji no longer insisted, waved his hand to say goodbye to me, and drove away from the park gate.

Seeing the expensive antique sedan disappearing from sight, I couldn't help but yearn for the kind of life that Chen Wuji had again. Such a comfortable and arrogant life is really enviable.

Unfortunately, I am still worried about survival now. When I think of finding a way to deal with Tom Tung, I feel a headache.

At this time, the lights were on, and the night had just begun to fall. The neon lights on the street shone on the roadside, smearing the world into pink. I stood among the people, looking at the direction where Chen Wuji disappeared, and suddenly a bold idea came up.

"Wait, Chen Wuji, I have something to look for you!"

I shouted in the direction where the figure of the weak boy was no longer visible. I don't know if he could hear this sentence, but I would rather believe that he could hear it.

It was about less than fifteen seconds later, the old car appeared in front of me again.

I know that my guess has been confirmed again.

As for whether my idea is correct, I have to wait for time to prove it.

The antique classic car stopped steadily in front of me, and the slim boy with a fashionable hairstyle held the steering wheel and stared at me through the window glass. I noticed that his pupils flashed with an undetectable silver light, just like when I first saw it.

"It seems you know more."

I don’t know why, the more I face this situation, the calmer I feel. I think I am only over 17 years old this year, right? It’s definitely not a good phenomenon to be so rational.

After carefully considering my position, I shook my head and replied, "No, I definitely don't know more than you."

Chen Wuji smiled confidently: "Get into the car."

Instead of getting in the car as he wished, I stood there and shook my head.

"I don't have anything worth your time and energy, right?"

The weak boy blinked: "Let me talk about you first. If I can help, I don't mind you owe me a favor."

This time I didn't pretend anymore and lowered my head and got into the car.

※※※※※※※※※※

It was obvious that Chen Wuji was a very enjoyable person. His car drove away from a bar street near the park and drove to an incredible place.

It's Victory Square.

There are probably such places in every city, such as Victory Square and Central Park. When I live under someone's roof, I often stroll around Victory Square to pass the time, and I am very familiar with it. The open-air ice cream shop here is one of the best delicious places I have ever seen.

I didn't expect Chen Wuji would bring me here.

"I didn't expect it?" Chen Wuji said while carrying ice cream with a spoon, "I don't like drinking. The three of them are more interested in those things, so I have to come and eat ice cream alone."

I looked down at the bowl of ice cream in front of me. The ice cream here is expensive. I tried it because I followed someone else to try it. The two ice creams that Chen Wuji ordered now are around 100 yuan, which is a level that I never dreamed of being able to eat.

After thinking about it, I still didn't move the ice cream, but just looked straight at Chen Wuji with a relaxed expression. Some things may be insignificant to him, but to me it is almost as important as life.

The more I face such a person who doesn’t care about anything, the more I should be cautious. What they want is often precious that I can’t imagine now.

"Let's talk about the serious business." I didn't eat ice cream, but just tried to make myself look more relaxed in the chair. "I heard that you are very good at fighting and the aftermath is great. I want you to help me deal with someone."

This request surprised Chen Wuji somewhat.

"Can't you solve it yourself?"

"I don't think it's possible for the time being." At this time, I think it's better to be honest.

Chen Wuji dug a spoonful of ice cream and stuffed it into his mouth, shook his head in confusion: "To be honest, you really surprised me. There are many people looking for us to do business, and you are the first one to ask us to help fight."

Chen Wuji's performance made me believe that he could definitely help me. The calmness in my heart that seemed to have experienced all the vicissitudes once again occupied my mind. I looked at Chen Wuji with a relaxed face and asked with a positive expression: "If you can't get anything from me, will you help me?"

My question made Chen Wuji stunned again. Perhaps few people talked to him like this, right? The slender boy touched his earrings and did not directly answer my question. Instead, he turned his head and shouted to the waiter: "Two more top-quality milk ice creams."

This is called ice cream? I was waiting for Chen Wuji to give me the answer in confusion.

Chen Wuji smiled and stretched out a hand at me, pointed to the ice cream on the table and said, "Don't be polite, eat it."

I think I understand Chen Wuji's meaning a little.

As I thought, Chen Wuji knew more clearly that many things are nothing to him, but they are very important to me. In other words, whether it is helping me or asking me to attend a party, it doesn't matter to him, and he can ignore the reward.

I shook my head and still didn't take action.

“I know the ice cream here is delicious, but the price is too terrible for me.”

I told Chen Wuji in the same way that I care about what he doesn't care about. From my perspective, I have to weigh the pros and cons to make a decision. At least what I care about is very important to me.

Although our positions and even classes are different, they have the same similarities, that is, everyone is very clear-headed.

There is no need to say too much about the conversation between smart people.

Seeing that I had no intention of giving in, Chen Wuji smiled helplessly and shook his head: "It seems that I have read it right from the beginning. You do have the capital that makes people feel interesting."

I smiled miserably: "Is that so? Unfortunately, all the excuses used by girls who broke up with me are that I am too boring."

Chen Wuji did not continue to get entangled in this topic, but just nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, people like you are too rare, I don't think it's a big deal to help you once."

I still don't give in: "Tell me what you are doing."

"Price?" Chen Wuji smiled a little cunningly, "What price can you pay now?"

"Because I have nothing now, I promise my future to others. I am not that stupid." I found that I became more and more determined as I said, without any intention of retreating. "To put it bluntly, if I am so stupid, would you continue to waste time with me?"

Chen Wuji smiled and said, "Ha, I finally saw someone who is as narcissistic as me. But you are right, so I will tell you the price you have to pay."

"Please say it."

Chen Wuji looked around and suddenly waved his hand to make the air around him fall into a sticky state. I didn't expect that Chen Wuji would suddenly use means beyond common sense at this time. He looked at him in surprise and looked at the air around him. This wonderful situation made me feel like I was taking a pill again.

"This...what is this?"

Even if I was calm just now, I still couldn't continue to maintain a normal mind when encountering such changes. Seeing Chen Wuji casually change the surrounding environment, I felt a little more respect for the eras depicted in myths and legends.

Chen Wuji seemed to have expected my reaction, and his face was still extremely relaxed, and he smiled faintly: "It's nothing, I just let the people around me not hear our conversation."
