Lin Xue had her signature calm and indifferent smile on her face. If you didn't consider what she had just said, you would think that she was just chatting with you.
But the content of her words had nothing to do with her expression.
"I died. I died at the frontline."
Miss Lin said with a smile while looking at my expression with a curious and expectant gaze.
My expression? I'm telling you, I don't even know if I have an expression at this moment! I was really scared by Lin Xue's words this time! I have to admit, Lin Xue is always able to scare people. Basically, ever since I got to know her, no matter when we were enemies, or when we were lovers … and enemies at the same time, this tsundere would always cause trouble for me. She would even do something shocking from time to time. However, I felt that all the scares that she had caused me in the past three years had become nonsense at this moment. All the scares added together would definitely not be as shocking as what she had just said.
"What did you say!?" I almost jumped on the spot. My scream reverberated for at least half a mile. The two furry monsters that were brushing their teeth and washing their faces by Fairy Lake were startled by my scream. They even dropped their teeth-brushing cups into the lake. The little monster scolded me and gave me the middle finger. Then, it ran into the forest like a wisp of smoke.
Mercury Lamp, who was dozing off with her doll not far away, looked at me in a daze. It seemed that she was also scared — — scared by me.
"Quiet, quiet." Lin Xue reached out and pulled me back. She rolled her eyes at me and said in an unfriendly tone, "You scared me. You didn't even tremble when facing tens of thousands of spaceships. Why are you so excited now? I knew you would react like this, that's why I didn't want to say it. "
"Stop joking." I felt that my heart was beating like an old steam engine. I looked at the heartless Lin Xue who was still giggling. Knowing that she was fine now, I couldn't help but grab her hand, "What did you say? Dead? What happened? "
Lin Xue looked at my expression, and a different smile slowly appeared on her face. It was a bit shy, but more than that, it was happy — — I still had this little bit of eyesight. She pinched my nose with her other hand. "Are you going to say it out loud? My ability, of course. This trip was very dangerous for her. If she went to the frontlines, there was an 80% chance that she would die in a surprise attack by the enemy. Even if she didn't die, she would be seriously injured. So, she didn't go. Ugh, your expression is so scary … "
"Nonsense, don't you think the impact of this topic is too big?"
I didn't know how to describe how I felt right now, but I definitely didn't feel good. Even though this was something that didn't happen at all, and I could even treat it as a horror story, when the main character of this story was Lin Xue herself, the impact on my heart wasn't as simple as it seemed. Moreover, it wasn't just a story — — just like Lin Xue's ability, everything was treated as a story because it was avoided. Once something went wrong at some point, this story would definitely happen!
Alright, I have to admit, at this moment, I felt the weight of this venomous young lady who always quarreled with me. She had successfully scared me.
Lin Xue seemed to have fully enjoyed what she expected from my reaction. At this time, she was satisfied and stuffed her slightly cold hand into my palm. She said gently, which was rare for her, "You pass. Actually, you don't have to be so nervous, didn't it happen? "
"I know it didn't happen, but …" I was halfway through my sentence when I couldn't continue. Indeed, none of these things happened. Be it my worries, horror, or even my heartache, they were all groundless. However, I couldn't help but feel that way. It was all because of Lin Xue's superpower. She was a prophet, which meant that none of the stories she told were false.
If the other party was a swindler, such as those soldiers from the Empire under the Two Mile Bridge, if they stopped you and said, "My friend, your glabella is dark and your skin is rough, and you're afraid of a bloody calamity. Here is a bottle of Dabao SOD Honey that has been consecrated to help you turn misfortune into blessings. Even if you can't turn misfortune into blessings, you can at least treat your rough skin." Then, it would be a normal reaction for you to lower your head and search for a brick or directly call the Town Security. But if Lin Xue stopped you and said, "Don't go out too often for the next two days. It's easy to get hit by a landing pod." Then, anyone would tremble. In this day and age where the Empire was active, the chances of getting hit by a landing pod was definitely not zero. And the moment Lin Xue spoke, the chances were around one hundred percent.
How could I calmly face a girl who spoke the truth when she said that she almost died in the future?
Maybe it was because the expression on my face was really scary, even the usually fearless Lin Xue became obedient. She tugged on my sleeve and asked softly, "Are you angry?"
"You scared me." I sighed. "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"Looks like I should have told you earlier. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so hard to accept this time."
Lin Xue muttered. Her next words were even more horrifying than before. "What if I told you that I have seen similar prophecies more than once?"
I looked at the girl beside me as if I had seen a ghost. Even the tone of my voice changed. "Huh?"
"The future will always be turbulent. Especially for you, me, and special existences like us, the future will be even more turbulent. There are too many worlds and karma entangled with us, causing the probability of many things happening to be chaotic. Of course, with my superpower, I can easily find the true direction of the future from the chaos. However, under normal circumstances, the future that I see at the same time has different directions. This is the butterfly effect that has been magnified to the extreme. Two seemingly opposite directions in the future might have the same origin. The only thing that changes them is a small detail that no one would notice. If you drink an extra sip of water in the morning, a world might be destroyed in a few years, but on the other hand, it could survive for billions of years. It sounds unbelievable, but the current you and I really have this' driving force '. "
"Then, what does this have to do with you mentioning your own death?"
"Are you stupid? Didn't I say that I can always see a few different futures at the same time? That's because the majority of these futures overlap. Only one or two key decisions will cause them to go their separate ways. That's why I can see them all at the same time. This time, when I set off for war, I saw the scene of myself dying. You sound pretty scary, right? But … this has happened many times in the past. "
I was surprised … No, I looked at the girl in front of me in horror. She seemed to have just said something very incredible.
"Death, for ordinary people, can only experience it once. They can also only witness the same person's death once. But I'm different. Through scanning the future direction over and over again, I can see the same person using twenty different methods to welcome death in front of me. My own funeral has also appeared many times. Of course, I can't see my own existence in those scenes, but I can see the reactions of the people around me and then infer what has happened. Well, the first time I encountered this, my reaction was even worse than yours. I was so scared that I cried. Really, I really cried. After that, I didn't look for you for a few days … "
She didn't finish the second half of her sentence because I had suddenly pulled her over and pressed her into my arms.
Lin Xue let out a low cry of surprise, but then she softened obediently and comfortably curled up into a ball in my arms.
He had already understood the words of the Great Prophet.
An ordinary person could only know of one fate forever, and that was the route that he had to experience in reality. And what Lin Xue had to experience or witness was all the possible routes that could happen. When a person could only die once, she had already seen multiple funerals with her own eyes. The impact of this was self-evident.
Actually, this should have been a very easy thing to understand. To us who were blind, our own future was unknown. Anything could happen. The uncertain route pointed to countless endpoints. Considering that I was engaged in the most dangerous job in the entire multiverse, I believed that 80% of these endpoints were submerged reefs that could consign a person to eternal damnation.
And Lin Xue's mission was to see these submerged reefs and then lead us to avoid them.
Naturally, she would see how those disasters would happen in the process. She would see under what circumstances we would die. Of course, she would also see her own fate of certain death. Her mission was to let us avoid these things, and what she had to bear was to experience this fear again and again.
Don't think that it was just a process like watching a movie. If you could be scared to death watching a 3D Ring in the cinema, wouldn't you be scared to death if you were to observe your own funeral?
But Lin Xue was already used to it.
I was really a slow guy. Originally, I could have thought of this if I thought about it a little more deeply, but I had to wait for the missy to take the initiative to understand it. Before this, I just took it for granted to understand how Lin Xue guided us. Now that I understood the real process, I felt a chill down my spine. This really wasn't a job that an ordinary person would do.
"Life is like a GAL, and I'm a full throttle." Lin Xue saw that I didn't speak for a long time. Finally, she decided to talk nonsense. "I look at all the routes, and then I point out a clear path with a good ending. Of course, sometimes I can't point it in too much detail. But sometimes, the unknown is more interesting, isn't it? Even if I wanted to experience the fun of my own strategy, I wouldn't be able to …"
I was sweating profusely as I listened on the side. This brat really was a person who didn't think of a filter. But what she said was quite right, in every aspect.
I subconsciously held Lin Xue in my arms as I sorted out the past in my mind. I started to realize some problems, and that was my good luck.
"Brat, tell me the truth. How many times have you saved us?"
"Not too much, not too little. Count how many times I've given advice during the war." Lin Xue rolled her eyes. "That's why I'm calm about all this now. None of it happened, right? Now, I treat the future as if I'm watching a horror movie. Although it's 3D, I'm definitely not immersed in it. If I see one or two of you die every few days, I'd go crazy no matter how heartless I am. "
This was the first time I talked so deeply with Lin Xue about the prophets. Naturally, I felt a lot of emotions in my heart. Some things are like this. If you don't experience it yourself or see it with your own eyes, you will always think that it's nothing. But once you understand it, your liver trembles from the bottom of your heart.
"It's been hard on you. Also, in the future, you have to say this kind of thing directly. Don't be so jumpy. Do you know that you almost scared me to death today? "
After thinking for a long time, I could only hug Lin Xue's shoulder since I wasn't good at sweet-talking. I used my chin to lightly touch the girl's head. This was the method that I discovered after a period of time that this girl liked to be intimate the most. It was said that she recalled her father's scent from this, which made people feel sad.
"So mushy. Move away." Lin Xue habitually didn't appreciate my kindness. While she spoke viciously, she forcefully knocked her head against my chin. Even if she had a bump on her head, she wanted to make my front teeth ache for five minutes. With a bang, I screamed and dodged to the side. I covered my mouth and looked at Lin Xue helplessly: How can this brat not know when to stop!
"In the future, when you know how powerful I am, you will be obedient." Lin Xue looked at me arrogantly and pointed her chin at me arrogantly. "Don't take risks all day. I know that this time, you led the troops to attack alone. You're pretty amazing. You joined hands with sister Chen Qian to sink the Warsong."
"It's mainly because of the Jingle Ball … Okay, okay, I'll correct it next time." I quickly waved my hand and expressed my determination to listen to Lin Xue's instructions. Right now, it was the smartest thing to do.
"Ha, so you guys are here!"
While the two of us were chatting idly, we suddenly heard a loud and clear cry of joy coming from the forest behind us. Following the sound, we turned around and saw a Shallow Beast leaping out from the bushes … …
"Wow, I haven't been here for a long time. I can't even find the way. Why did you get into the grass?" The short-haired energetic girl bounced out of the grass. As she walked towards us, she brushed off the grass sticks and leaves on her head. However, she didn't seem to be in a sorry state. Instead, she gave off an extremely cute feeling. Following behind Shallow Shallow was Sandora, who still maintained an elegant demeanor even when she came out of the grass. Of course, I didn't believe that she would be as careless as Shallow Shallow and get lost. Perhaps the Queen just thought it was fun and followed Shallow Shallow all the way here.
When Shallow Shallow saw the big doll Mercury Lamp was hugging, her eyes immediately lit up. She ran over and said, "Let me play, let me play!"
Lin Xue and I looked at each other and smiled. We were prepared to watch the doll battle between Mercury Lamp and Shallow Shallow. However, before the two of them even started fighting, Shallow Shallow suddenly lost interest. She threw Mercury Lamp to the side and hopped over to hug my neck. "Ah Jun, do you want to fish?"
Me: "…"
How did you complete this turn of events?
"When I see Ah Jun, I feel like it's time to eat. When I see the lake, I feel like there should be fish. Then, when I see Lin Xue … Yep, I just want to fish." Shallow Shallow counted with her fingers and explained her reasoning process to me seriously.
"Fish? That sounds interesting. Coincidentally, I'm a little hungry. Woody, prepare some firewood. Since we have nothing to do, let's roast some fish today … "
Lin Xue, who was about to go crazy from boredom, wasn't bothered by Shallow Shallow's development. She was even used to following Shallow Shallow's train of thought even earlier than me. When Shallow Shallow suggested fishing, the prophet had already started planning how to eat.
Shallow Shallow's appearance undoubtedly and justifiably killed the three of us. While I was still stunned by Lin Xue's explosive topic of the day, the girl was already happily pulling Lin Xue to prepare fishing rods. This magical girl's portable space has always been more magical than a certain Doraemon's pocket. She has taken out a family's lunch, a rubber boat, a bicycle, a palm tree, an SCV, a hydrogen fuel tank, a vending machine, an assembly line, a hamster nest, a stupa, and a three-door Siemens refrigerator. Now that she can take out two fishing rods from her portable space, I'm not surprised. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised even if she took out a deep-sea fishing net. This girl has a habit of bringing home anything she is interested in, and when there isn't enough space at home, she will just stuff it into her portable space.
Thus, the quiet time by the lake formed by me, Lin Xue, and a certain bad-tempered daughter was transformed by Shallow Shallow into a family of five fishing in the afternoon. Shallow Shallow and Lin Xue sat side by side, each holding a fishing rod. Under the reflection of the sunlight from the clear forest of Avalon, the two girls were so beautiful that they could be hung in the Louvre. Sandora wasn't interested in fishing, so she was assigned to the side to look after things. My task was to look after Sandora — I was afraid that she would steal the bait.
Mercury Lamp's task was to sit on the grass not far away. Her task was to wait for food.
Leisurely lying on the green grass by the Fairy Lake, the unique fragrance of the Fairy Forest wafting into my nostrils. Looking at the blue sky, the white clouds, the tall grass, the chirping birds, and Mercury Lamp flying around in the sky, these days were so leisurely and carefree. The heavy topic that I was discussing with Lin Xue just now was gradually thrown to the back of my mind. As expected, a peaceful daily life was the best. However, there was one thing that was beginning to hover in my mind —
"Lin lass, do you know how to fish?"
I clearly heard the sound of the fishing rod landing on the ground.
"Shallow Shallow, do you have the patience to fish?"
"Aha, ahahaha."
I heard Shallow Shallow's silly laughter.
As expected, I shouldn't have placed my hopes on these two unreliable fellows!
Lin Xue was the daughter of a rich family. She might know how to fish, but it was definitely only for fun. If she really relied on fishing to cook a meal for us, I reckon that Sandora would go berserk from hunger and chew on tree bark. Shallow Shallow's enthusiasm only lasted for a short period of time. It could be said that she was about to lose interest the moment she cast the fishing rod. Yet, I was still foolishly waiting for these two weirdos to fish for me to eat!
"Get up." I quickly walked forward and pushed Shallow Shallow and Lin Xue away from each side. I grabbed the fishing rod and crouched on the rock. "I'll fish. The two of you go and watch over Sandora. Don't let her steal the fish food."
Sandora looked at the fish basket pitifully. After a while, she said, "But I'm hungry …"
"If you eat this, I won't dare to kiss you anymore," I replied honestly. Sandora instantly became obedient.
While we were messing around, I actually felt the fishing rod in my hand suddenly sink!
"Don't mess around! It seems like something took the bait! "
I was overjoyed and said to the stunned Lin Xue as I grabbed the fishing rod with a proud expression.
The young miss had a face of disbelief. "Wow, what's wrong with the fish in Avalon? I didn't dare to breathe for a long time just now and nothing happened. How did something bite the bait when you messed around?"
"What else can you expect from something that Jingle made — — This is a big guy!" I said excitedly as I slowly steadied the fishing rod that was constantly shaking. I didn't think that Shallow Shallow's idea would actually make me proud in the end. The fish in Avalon are really stupid!
The splashes on the surface of the lake were getting bigger and bigger. Just by feeling it, I actually felt that I was hoisting something that was at least 45 kilograms. I thought to myself, did Jingle raise the larvae of the Loch Ness Monster in Fairy Lake? Just as I was letting my imagination run wild, I heard a splashing sound. "Hua la!" Under the sunlight, a shining figure jumped out of the lake!
Isana grabbed my fishing line and looked innocently at the stunned people on the shore …
I felt that this scene was a bit familiar …
