"Bang!"
The door slammed shut.
Zhou Xinyue was at a loss. She asked her husband, Gu Qing, "What's wrong with this child?
"How would I know?" Gu Qing shrugged. "Could it be because Tong Jia got married and he did that thing?"
Hearing Gu Qing's words, Zhou Xinyue glanced at her husband.
She didn't need to think to know that it wasn't because of Tong Jia's marriage.
Ever since Tong Jia's biological parents were sued for child abuse, Tong Jia was adopted by a kind police couple. With the transfer of work, Tong Jia moved to Xi Ning with her adoptive parents. Her son and Tong Jia had always been in contact, but they were only friends.
The wind blew into Gu Xizhou's clothes, bringing a cool breeze. However, he only felt a little cold.
When he entered the mission world, Gu Zhizhi told him that everything had a meaning. When he came out and saw Gu Qing and Zhou Xinyue, he finally understood why Zhizhi thanked him.
This mission world that belonged to Zhizhi was more like an interception of time. He went back to the past through Zhizhi's door from the present. Under Gu Zhizhi's request, he completed the mission to change the past.
As for the world behind the door, Gu Xizhou had a subtle feeling. He had experienced many mission worlds, but when he entered the door, he possessed the body of a 'dead person'. He couldn't communicate with the other party. Previously, he sympathized with the ghost's experience, so he didn't try to communicate with the other party.
However, Zhizhi was different. When he entered the door, he saw Zhizhi's own experience, which was the content before the past was changed.
Zhizhi wasn't a stranger to him. He was a brother and a friend. Gu Xizhou felt an emotion that he had never felt before. He desperately wanted to comfort Zhizhi. It was also because of this that he was able to break through the restriction of being in Zhizhi's body and communicate with Zhizhi.
He originally thought that everything inside the door was just a way for the ghosts with the door to fulfill their wishes. Therefore, when he saw Zhizhi crying inside the door, he wanted to comfort him!
But from the looks of it now, everything was self-defeating.
In Zhizhi's memory, he had appeared before. For example, the phrase 'Mr. Ghost' was proof. To Zhizhi, this was the first time they met, but to him, this was the last time they met!
The two of them had known each other for different periods of time.
Zhizhi had met 'Mr. Ghost' when he was young and mistakenly thought that 'Mr. Ghost' was his guardian spirit. That was why he used the item to revive Gu Xizhou.
It was like a perpetual question: Was it the chicken that laid the egg, or was it the egg that laid the chicken?
It was as if there was an invisible hand in the middle that was manipulating everything.
Gu Xizhou looked exhausted. His mind was in a mess.
From the very beginning, Zhizhi knew that after reviving him, he would disappear and die.
Thinking of this, Gu Xizhou couldn't help but feel heartache. When they were in the mission world, how did Zhizhi feel when he followed behind him?
Walking on the street, Gu Xizhou suddenly felt a chill on his cheeks. The cold rain fell and hit his face and body. The men and women beside him hurriedly took out their umbrellas from their bags. Those without umbrellas ran quickly.
Only Gu Xizhou was leisurely. He didn't care about the rain. He sat on the bench beside the bus stop and stared blankly at the sudden downpour. There were many people taking shelter from the rain here. Although the surroundings were noisy, Gu Xizhou felt very quiet.
"Let's go, let's go. The rain is getting heavier."
"Yes, yes."
A few men and women whispered and rushed onto the bus together.
A man holding an umbrella walked onto the bus stop. He didn't notice Gu Xizhou sitting beside him. He shook the water off the umbrella and turned his head to find that there was another person sitting on his left.
The man said embarrassedly, "Sorry, sorry!"
Gu Xizhou shook his head at him and didn't say anything. He took out his phone and made a call. After the busy tone, the person on the other end picked up the phone.
His clear voice was a typical baritone. It was hoarse and had a hint of sexiness.
"It's raining over there?"
Gu Xizhou said, "Yes."
"Go home early. Don't catch a cold."
Gu Xizhou thought for a moment and said, "I don't want to go home."
"Did something happen?"
The person on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped talking. The handsome man's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation. He said, "Where are you? Send me your location. I'll come and find you."
"At the … bus stop in front of my house," Gu Xizhou replied.
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
Gu Xizhou pursed his lips. Just as he was thinking about when he would be there, a familiar car stopped in front of him in less than ten minutes. Someone got out of the car and walked over with an umbrella to block the rain for him.
"Get in the car with me." Si Yu's voice was slightly anxious.
Before Gu Xizhou could react, he was dragged into the car by Si Yu.
"Go to the hotel," Si Yu said directly to the driver in the front.
"Yes!"
After getting in the car, Si Yu immediately wiped the water off his body with a towel. The driver in the front was very professional. He stared at the road ahead and didn't look at the two people in the back.
The two of them sat in the back. Si Yu didn't mind that he was wet. She hugged him and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
Gu Xizhou bit his lip and didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say.
After a long time, seeing that Gu Xizhou didn't want to talk, Si Yu broke the silence and said, "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it."
The car stopped in front of the nearest high-end hotel. After Gu Xizhou entered the hotel room, Si Yu took out a new set of pajamas and handed it to Gu Xizhou. "Change out of these wet clothes first. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"Okay …"
Si Yu was sitting in the room. In the bathroom, a hazy figure was washing up. Some steam floated out from the bathroom.
The sound of water dripping could be heard from the bathroom. In the misty bathroom, Gu Xizhou finished showering. He looked at his drenched body and wiped the water off his body. After changing into a bathrobe, he walked out. Si Yu was still sitting on the sofa. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
"Eat something first." Si Yu put her index finger between her thin lips and gestured for him to keep quiet. She said gently to Gu Xizhou, "We'll talk about it when you feel like talking."
Gu Xizhou leaned on Si Yu's shoulder for a while. At that moment, Gu Xizhou's phone rang. It was a call from Zhou Xinyue. Gu Xizhou picked up the phone and told his family that he wouldn't be coming home today. After reassuring his family, he hung up the phone.
Noticing Si Yu's indifferent expression, Gu Xizhou said to Si Yu in a low voice, "My mother called."
"Okay. Auntie is very worried about you."
When Gu Xizhou heard Si Yu's reply, he asked, "Don't you think there's something wrong?" His parents had passed away, and now he suddenly had parents!
Si Yu looked at him blankly and helplessly. She even felt a little wronged as she replied, "No."
Gu Xizhou's heart suddenly sank. Even the mission enforcers couldn't detect any abnormalities. It seemed that only the people who entered the mission world could know that the past had been changed!
The mission world wasn't simply a supernatural survival mission.
Zhizhi's mission world could change the past. Li Yan's item could peek into the future. Both the past and the future could be changed. This world was far more special than he had imagined.
Furthermore, Zhizhi had said that before entering the campus world, she had experienced a world and obtained a bucket list. This was definitely not a simple matter. It was as if someone was precisely manipulating everything and using Zhizhi to resurrect him.
Gu Xizhou couldn't help but think of what Fu Yiran had said before. His brows furrowed. Fu Yiran had said that he was a knife, a knife used for murder. Since he was a knife, then he was definitely going to kill someone. Then who did the 'person' who resurrected him want him to kill?
Since the 'person' who resurrected him had the ability to change the past, then they could have done it themselves. Why did they want to resurrect him to kill someone?
