"Oh."
Molly didn't pay much attention to it.
She didn't ask much.
But she didn't see that Irin's face suddenly darkened after he turned around with a slight smile.
Every time.
Ling Wuyan would reply, "Everything is fine."
Just four words, but it made Irin feel extremely relieved, so he could enter the inner world with peace of mind.
But this time.
Ling Wuyan set him to "Do Not Disturb"?
Why?
What happened?
Ling Wuyan's profile picture was still lit up.
His name was still "Ling Wuyan".
In other words, Ling Wuyan didn't die.
He didn't regain his previous identity.
The current Ling Wuyan should still be living with the mentality of an "avenger".
But why?
Could it be that he underestimated the human heart?
Or … did something go wrong somewhere?
Irin suddenly understood how Li Changge and little Fatso felt after he set them to "Do Not Disturb".
Next time definitely! Never again!
There was no need for Molly to lead the way. In fact, Irin was quite familiar with the structure of this laboratory. Irin quickly left the laboratory and went straight to the nearest entrance of the Ground Net.
On the way, Irin had already calmed himself down as soon as possible.
In the three years after his rebirth, he had been deliberately staying away from Ling Yiyi, trying not to change Ling Yiyi's original trajectory.
Because compared to the "other timeline", Irin became an apostle earlier, so just in case, Irin used another method to place Ling Wuyan beside Ling Yiyi. But at that time, Irin also had concerns. He told Ling Wuyan not to get close to Ling Yiyi unless there was anything special.
He had clearly calculated everything that could be calculated.
Because Irin was very clear that he killed Xiao Yang and became an apostle in advance, which would definitely change the trajectory of countless people.
In order to deal with this terrifying butterfly effect, Irin definitely helped Ling Wuyan when he met him and gave him a reason to live.
And the price of living was to slightly protect Ling Yiyi secretly while becoming stronger.
Could it be that his intervention in advance had made Ling Yiyi's fate more and more uncontrollable?
Irin's forehead broke out in cold sweat as he thought about it.
Soon after.
Irin finally arrived at the orphanage.
"Eh? What wind blew you here today? Hahaha … "
The benevolent old director was playing video games with a group of old men. He was humming and laughing non-stop. When he saw Irin enter the orphanage, he was shocked. He reluctantly put down the game controller and walked toward Irin.
"Dean, where is Yiyi?"
Irin went straight to the point.
"Hmm? You came here specifically to look for Yiyi? "The old principal muttered softly," Didn't you say that you don't get along with her … "
"Where is Yiyi?"
"There, it's over there!"
The old principal was stunned. Only then did he realize that Irin's expression was a little strange. He pointed in a certain direction in the courtyard.
Ling Yiyi was wearing headphones under the sun as usual. She was touching the uneven braille book with her fingers under the sun. She was as quiet as a fairy under the sun. A faint smile appeared on her face.
The moment Irin saw Ling Yiyi.
The tense nerves all over his body finally relaxed.
He could not help but scold himself for worrying too much. He smiled slightly and said, "Uh, it's nothing. Actually, I'm mainly looking for my other friend. Hmm, there's something very important that I want to ask him in person."
"Oh …" The old principal blinked. His tone was strange. After a long "oh", he said slowly, "So, Little Lin, you're here 'specifically' to look for your friend!"
Irin's expression was calm. "Hmm? Otherwise? "
"Haha, he's gone!"
"Gone?" Irin frowned.
"Yes, half a month ago, he suddenly said that he had something to do. Then, he left and never came back. But that young man seems to have a lot on his mind all day. I don't know if something happened. "
Gone?
Ling Wuyan left?
Half a month ago?
Yi Lin silently calculated for a moment.
If it was half a month ago, it seemed that Ling Wuyan should have entered the Otherworld again and returned to the real world alive.
And then … he left the orphanage?
Why?
If it was something else, Ling Wuyan would not have set himself to the "do not disturb" state.
Enmity?
Betrayal?
Or …
Irin quickly made a guess in his heart.
But no matter what, it was fine as long as Ling Yiyi was fine.
After Irin returned from his trip to Gotham, he quickly went to Haiting City because of Li Changge. So, in a hurry, the old principal did not tell him about it. It was probably because he could not contact him.
After thinking for a moment, Irin decided not to dwell on the matter of Ling Wuyan.
After all, no matter how much he struggled, as long as Ling Wuyan was not around, he could not get an answer.
When he returned to the capital, he would ask Molly to help him check the places where Ling Wuyan had appeared recently.
As long as Ling Wuyan was still in a modern city, he would definitely leave some traces.
Ordinary people might not be able to find out, but it should not be difficult for Molly.
If not, it should not be a problem to ask Ou Lele.
"Oh, right …"
The old principal suddenly remembered something and said casually, "Before Ling Wuyan left, he asked me to give an amulet to Yiyi. Tsk tsk, he even asked me to lie and say that you gave it to him. Tsk tsk, tsk tsk tsk, tsk tsk tsk …"
As the old dean spoke, he gave Ling Wuyan a thumbs up, silently praising him as he left.
"…"
Amulet?
Lie?
Irin did not care about the old principal's winking expression. He only extracted two key pieces of information from the old principal's brief words.
While thinking, Irin slowly walked toward Ling Yiyi.
His palms were slightly sweaty.
Ling Yiyi closed her eyes, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became wider and wider.
When Irin was three meters away from Ling Yiyi, Ling Yiyi suddenly stopped what she was doing, then raised her head and opened her eyes.
Irin clearly knew that Ling Yiyi's eyes could not see any light, but every time he looked into Ling Yiyi's eyes, Irin inexplicably had the illusion that he was "seen through" by her.
Those eyes seemed to hide some kind of indescribable intelligence.
It was obviously a pair of eyes that had been robbed of light.
"You're doing it again."
"Again? Why do you seem a little disgusted … "
"No, I'm just a little surprised."
Ling Yiyi smiled and then continued without waiting for Irin to speak, "He's gone."
"Him?"
"Your … 'friend'!" Ling Yiyi blinked.
"… So you already knew?"
"Hee hee, this is my little secret." Ling Yiyi pointed at her ears. "Actually, not long ago, I realized that my hearing is getting better and better. The last time you walked into the orphanage, I could tell that it was your voice just by listening to your footsteps. Then, I heard you tricking the old principal … Haha!"
Ling Yiyi laughed very happily.
Even when mentioning that she could not see, she did not show any signs of depression or disappointment.
It was as if it was a very fun thing.
"…"
Ling Yiyi, you're really a clever little devil!
"So, what else do you know?"
"Mm … Actually, there's not much … For example, I'm guessing that you're not going to university now? Hmm … Also … You seem to be doing something strange? "
"…"
Ling Yiyi smiled slightly. "But it's okay. I can feel a very determined aura coming from Little Lin, so it shouldn't be anything bad."
Determined aura?
What kind of strange description was that?
Suddenly.
Irin's whole body shook.
It shouldn't be.
It shouldn't be at all.
Irin suddenly turned his head.
The courtyard was very big and spacious.
In the middle of the courtyard, there were the sounds of the old men playing video games and laughing.
The place where Ling Yiyi was sitting was nearly a hundred meters away from the entrance of the orphanage.
She could actually tell Irin from the sound of his footsteps when he stepped through the door?
If Irin did not come from a completely different timeline, perhaps he would only sigh. When God took away Ling Yiyi's light, he might have accidentally opened up a few more holes in Ling Yiyi's ears.
But.
Irin was very clear that Ling Yiyi's hearing would be very good in the future.
But not … Now!
Why?
Why did it become like this?
"Amulet?"
Irin suddenly took a step forward. There was a hint of nervousness in his voice, but he tried to suppress his emotions and said calmly, "Do you have an amulet? Let me see?"
"Hmph, you lied and said that you gave it to me, mm? Don't tell me you … "
Ling Yiyi muttered to herself in a very low voice. But she did not say much and directly took off the amulet around her neck.
Irin took the amulet from Ling Yiyi's hand.
At the moment of contact.
The attributes appeared in front of his eyes.
Sure enough —
It was a prop from the Inner World!
…
[Mediocre Amulet]
[Grade] None

…
The moment he saw the "attributes" of the amulet.
Irin was quite surprised.
It turned out to be … an ordinary series?
Moreover, it was not a consumable prop, but a piece of equipment?
Ling Wuyan actually … gave it to Ling Yiyi?
Then why did Ling Wuyan leave so quietly?
Countless question marks hovered in Irin's mind.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this amulet? "
Ling Yiyi's gentle voice broke Irin's thoughts and brought Irin back to reality.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Mm, the amulet is quite good."
Irin bent down to help Ling Yiyi put on the amulet again and reminded her, "This amulet is probably impervious to water and fire. Remember, no matter what, don't take it off, and … remember, don't let others know about the existence of this amulet."
No matter how ordinary it was, it was still a product of the Inner World. Irin did not believe that the amulet would be ruined by soaking it in water.
Ling Yiyi lowered her head and pondered for a moment.
Although she did not know why Irin said this.
But.
It was not important.
Ling Yiyi did not ask much. She just chuckled and said, "Okay."
Irin finally decided to take Ling Yiyi away.
Over the years, Irin had deliberately stayed away from Ling Yiyi in order not to change Ling Yiyi's original trajectory as much as possible.
But he did not expect that the world had gradually deviated from the track he knew, including the people around him.
In retrospect, perhaps he was too obsessed with certain things.
The old Dean did not ask much about Irin's intention to take Ling Yiyi away. He just chuckled.
After all, Ling Yiyi was also an adult and had the freedom to stay or leave.
"Take care of yourself." Before leaving, the old Dean patted Irin's shoulder with a meaningful tone, his face full of emotion.
