"Let me think about it."
Fang Xiaoqing, who was patrolling the streets with Xiao Zhengyi, rubbed her temples and felt a headache.
The story started from last night.
Because the night before yesterday, Xiao Zhengyi had poured out all the words he had buried in his heart to Fang Xiaoqing. In a romantic drama, it was probably an opportunity for the relationship between the two to quickly warm up and even break through the shackles of the friendship.
But in fact, after that, the atmosphere between the two of them became strange.
Xiao Zhengyi was very ashamed of his gaffe that day, so he intentionally or unintentionally avoided the other party. Fang Xiaoqing was overly protected by her family, so this was the first time she had such close contact with a friend of the opposite sex. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
As a result, the two of them were like a motor without a bearing, running in a perfect circle.
It was the same last night. Xiao Zhengyi tried to avoid Fang Xiaoqing on the night shift on the grounds that he went out to buy supper.
As a result, he never returned, leaving Fang Xiaoqing alone and foolishly waiting for the non-existent supper …
This morning, because Xiao Zhengyi stood her up and stood her up, the girl had a belly full of anger and decided to be frank with Xiao Zhengyi.
However, before she had time to speak, she found that Xiao Zhengyi's right arm was wrapped in thick bandages.
Thinking of Xiao Zhengyi's physique, which could be actively or passively involved in dangerous situations for various reasons, the girl suddenly became nervous. She even forgot to complain to him and kept asking him what happened.
Xiao Zhengyi saw that he couldn't hide it — well, in fact, this guy didn't intend to hide it — so he told Fang Xiaoqing everything that happened yesterday.
"In other words, you went out to buy supper yesterday and met your sister who died ten years ago. Then, for various reasons, you were involved in a zombie crisis like the biochemical machine. As a result, you were possessed. Then Mr. Xu appeared and rescued you. In order to be able to reunite with your sister, you chose to give up your right hand and put on a prosthetic, right?"
Fang Xiaoqing sorted out Xiao Zhengyi's words and concluded, "It's the ceremony you said about the prosthetic arm, I don't quite understand …"
"Well, I'm not too sure about that either."
Xiao Zhengyi scratched his face with his left hand and replied with a hollow laugh, "But the ritual itself only serves to deceive the world's consciousness."
"That's because the souls of the dead will turn into vengeful spirits if they stay in the world for too long. There are two main reasons for this. First, it's caused by the laws of the world itself. Second, the soul itself will change after leaving the body. Therefore, if we want to solve this problem, we have to solve both problems at the same time. "
"The way to solve the first problem is that ritual: create a vessel that can allow the souls of the dead to reside in. However, this action will be hated by the world, and the manifestation is the so-called 'karmic sin'. Following that, the world's knowledge was obscured, and the vessel was exchanged with my right hand's essence. After removing the barrier that obscured the world, the world would mistake my right hand as that vessel. Furthermore, Old Xu and the others directly summoned the world's attack, which was the Lightning of Calamity, by strengthening the level of the sins. My right hand naturally turned into ashes under the Lightning of Calamity, but the vessel that housed Ruo Ying's soul was classified as already destroyed on the other side of the world. In other words, it 'no longer exists'. This way, as long as the world no longer discovers Ruo Ying's existence, she won't turn into a vengeful spirit because of the first reason. "
"Then what about the second problem?" Fang Xiaoqing thought about it carefully, but still didn't understand. Therefore, she decided to ask a simpler question.
"It's this." Xiao Zhengyi raised his bandaged right hand. "After that, Old Xu asked Mo Li to cut off a part of my soul and used it as a raw material to disguise Ruo Ying, who was residing in my hand. After that, Ruo Ying's soul will appear as the part of my soul that was cut off and share an 'existence' with me. Although she can't be considered alive, at least she's no longer dead, and the deterioration of her soul can be controlled."
"In other words, you and your sister are living together?"
Fang Xiaoqing concluded.
"Yes, in theory, that's true." Xiao Zhengyi nodded.
"Why do I feel like it's like a German orthopedic doctor …"
"Don't think so dirty, okay? Ruo Ying and I are just family! " Xiao Zhengyi said righteously. "And according to Old Xu, he asked Mo Li to leave a surgical method in my prosthetic arm. In the future, Ruo Ying will be my child … Although she won't inherit her memories and the form of family affection will be different, at least she can continue to be a family member."
"The first child is your sister? I feel a little weird … "
Fang Xiaoqing tilted her head and muttered.
Then, she realized that Xiao Zhengyi was looking at her with a face of surprise.
It took about three seconds for the girl to figure out what she said, and her face suddenly turned red.
"I, I that … No, that's not what I meant!" She stammered. "Wait, wait a minute! What are you surprised about! Who wants to have a child with you … I didn't say it's my daughter … Although I do prefer daughters … No, no, I wanted to say … Ahhhh … Anyway, it's not right! "
The more she spoke, the more confused she became. In the end, the embarrassed girl shouted and ran out.
Xiao Zhengyi wanted to chase after her, but last night's incident made his whole body sore. In addition, a small piece of his soul was cut off, and he felt very weak mentally. He couldn't run at all, and could only watch as the girl ran away …
"Really, I didn't say anything."
Xiao Zhengyi sighed and could only continue patrolling alone.
Suddenly, a young girl who brushed past him called out to him.
"Mr. Police Officer, I want to ask for directions."
"Okay …"
Xiao Zhengyi answered instinctively, and then he noticed something strange about the other party.
Jiang Jin had already entered the cold winter. In this season when everyone on the street was wearing down jackets, the other party was wearing a thin violet silk dress. Most of her tender white forearms were exposed, and she wore high-heeled leather boots with rhinestones (?) Inlaid into the shape of a flower.
In addition, the strange wooden staff on her back and her rare light purple hair were also surprising. At least, Xiao Zhengyi had never seen anyone with hair dyed this color.
What was even stranger was that although he clearly saw the other party's face, Xiao Zhengyi found that he couldn't pay attention to the other party's appearance. He even had a feeling that if he looked away from the other party, he would immediately forget the other party's appearance!
Then, Xiao Zhengyi suddenly realized that such a strange person had brushed past him, but if the other party hadn't taken the initiative to call out to him, he wouldn't have even noticed the other party's existence from beginning to end!
As if she didn't notice Xiao Zhengyi's vigilance, the girl stared at the police officer with her bright eyes and asked in a cheerful tone.
"Do you know how to get to Sakura Apartments?"
