Gu Xizhou couldn't understand. His mind was in a mess. If Zhizhi's world could change the past, then the mission world he had experienced before might have changed as well.
"What happened to you?" Si Yu looked at Gu Xizhou with worry in her eyes. She frowned and asked softly.
"I entered a supernatural world today." Gu Xizhou's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
Si Yu grabbed Gu Xizhou's wrist and asked with a frown, "What happened?"
"I …" Gu Xizhou saw Si Yu's nervous expression and finally said, "There was a special situation. I was pulled in, but this world was very special. I saw my 'parents' in that world.
"In that world, I changed the death of my 'parents'. They were supposed to have been shot dead while investigating a child's begging and theft case. After entering the mission world, I changed their deaths. When I came out, they were resurrected."
After Gu Xizhou finished speaking, Si Yu looked at him and said, "But in my memory, they always existed."
"Yes … I guess people who haven't experienced the mission world don't know that the history of this world has been changed."
Gu Xizhou didn't mention anything about Zhizhi. He only said that he changed the death of his parents in the mission world. "There are also chains. I'm sure those ghosts have chains on them. The mission world is related to invisible chains."
After listening to Gu Xizhou's description, Si Yu was silent for a moment before she said, "Maybe the mission world is a transaction. The world's creator allows the mission taker to fulfill the ghost's wish. The ghost with the door will return the broken chains to the world's creator."
"The world's creator?" Gu Xizhou was silent for a moment. "Who do you think it is?"
Si Yu pointed upwards. "That's the only thing I can think of."
Gu Xizhou looked up instinctively. Although there was only the ceiling, Gu Xizhou knew who Si Yu was referring to.
"God."
"Yes." Si Yu shrugged. "Other than God, I really can't think of anyone else who can change the past and bring the dead back to life."
Upon hearing Si Yu's words, Gu Xizhou's mind went blank.
Heavens?
Si Yu's words were a little absurd, but it was true that only God could control these worlds.
Ma Qi was the best proof. He had been through so many battles with drug lords, but he had always managed to survive. Ye Shu had lived for more than a hundred years, but no one who knew her, including the staff, had noticed anything unusual about her age. Only mission enforcers like them were surprised when they saw her age on the survey.
According to the human concept, Heaven could control the fate of mankind, so it could indeed do these things.
Si Yu said softly, "To control a person's fate, to let someone who should have died by accident live on."
Gu Xizhou, who controlled fate, suddenly thought of something. He was sure of one thing, and that was that everyone should have a chain on them, including himself! This was because every time he wanted to kill a ghost, a strange force would appear in the supernatural world and control his body, making him unable to move.
Gu Xizhou felt as if he had been struck by lightning. If 'Heaven' was controlling everything behind the scenes, was there anyone that Heaven couldn't kill?
Si Yu said, "Based on what you said, I think the chain is like 'fate'. Heaven uses it to control the fate of humans and ghosts. When the chain breaks, 'Heaven' will lose control."
"It can't control the fate of these ghosts, so it proposed a condition of exchange." Gu Xizhou took over and analyzed the situation. "It created a supernatural world and asked us to help the ghosts who lost control fulfill their wishes."
Si Yu nodded. "Yes, and as a condition of exchange, these ghosts will put their fate back into 'its' hands."
Gu Xizhou frowned. "Since it hates' ghosts' so much, why doesn't it just kill them?"
"I don't know." Si Yu flicked Gu Xizhou's forehead. "I'm not 'it', so how would I know?"
He pondered for a moment, then said, "Maybe it can't kill them.
"And don't you think those ghosts are very pitiful? They already had a tragic experience before they died, and now they have to be killed directly after death. "
Gu Xizhou was silent, but he couldn't help but agree with Si Yu's words. In every mission world he had experienced, similar events could be found in reality. In this society, tragedies were happening every day, and these people were indeed pitiful. If they really killed these ghosts, it would be too pitiful.
Perhaps the heavens took pity on all living beings, so it didn't directly kill these out-of-control 'ghosts'.
However, Gu Xizhou was more willing to believe that it was because 'they couldn't be killed'. Fu Yiran had said that he was a knife used for murder, and everything he had experienced so far was just to sharpen his knife. Now that he thought about it, Li Yan's appearance in the snowman world might not have been a coincidence. It might also have been 'it's' arrangement.
Gu Xizhou couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. If his and Si Yu's guesses were correct, then the hand controlling him from behind could very well be 'the heavens'. Then who did the heavens want to take his hand to kill?
If the heavens couldn't do something, then why would the heavens think that he could?
Could it be because he had transmigrated, gone to another world, and became a demon cultivator …?
A demon cultivator?
Gu Xizhou suddenly felt suffocated. He realized that his mind was blank. He had always felt that he was a demon cultivator who had transmigrated to another world, but why … why were his memories of his life as a demon cultivator so blurry? It was so blurry that he couldn't see it at all.
Ever since he had been resurrected, he had never recalled his days as a demon cultivator. He could only vaguely remember that it was very difficult.
Gu Xizhou's head hurt as he thought about it. He desperately scratched his head. Why didn't he have those memories? Why didn't he have any memories of his life in the other world?!
There was nothing. His mind was completely blank.
Si Yu saw that Gu Xizhou was scratching his head. He leaned his chin on Gu Xizhou's shoulder and whispered, "Don't think about it. It's useless to think so much. Just let nature take its course."
"Mm …" Gu Xizhou fell silent. Si Yu was right. If the hand controlling him was really 'the heavens', what could he do by himself?
Gu Xizhou thought about it and took out his phone to call Ma Qi. He still needed to confirm it.
Gu Xizhou asked, "Ma Qi, when you investigated the relevant mission worlds, did you investigate according to the content of the mission worlds?"
Ma Qi was stunned by Gu Xizhou's sudden call. He was stunned and replied, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Sure enough," Gu Xizhou laughed. "Maybe you're investigating in the wrong direction."
Hearing Gu Xizhou's words, Ma Qi was obviously a little excited. "What new discoveries did you make?"
"Help me investigate these cases first …" Gu Xizhou briefly told Ma Qi about the mission worlds he had experienced. "As long as the situation is similar, collect all the information. I want to confirm my guess and then I'll let you know."
"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible. I've asked a few friends to investigate most of the cases. The information they gave me was after the competition. I'll ask them to send you the information of the cases that were not selected in the competition tomorrow."
"Sorry to trouble you, Brother Ma."
Gu Xizhou hung up the phone. His eyes fell on the wine on the wine cabinet. He got up, took a bottle, and handed it to Si Yu. "Open a bottle of wine. Drink it and sleep well."
"Okay."
Gu Xizhou drank the wine and his mind was in a mess.
Zhizhi's death and everything else might have been arranged by "God", but he seemed to be unable to do anything. On the contrary, he felt a little powerless.
"Sorry …"
Hearing Gu Xizhou's repeated apologies, Si Yu, who was used as a cushion by Gu Xizhou, slightly lowered his eyes. No one could see the emotions in his eyes. He just gently hugged Gu Xizhou and sat like this for a while.
Si Yu rolled up his sleeves, revealing the clean lines on his arms. He picked up Gu Xizhou, who was drunk, and put him on the bed. He gently stroked Gu Xizhou's cheek with his deep eyes, hiding an unreadable emotion.
He walked to the window and looked at the night sky.
Gu Xizhou rubbed his sleepy eyes. When he opened them, he saw Si Yu's handsome face looking at him. He was still wearing the pajamas from yesterday. Because of his hangover, Gu Xizhou uncomfortably rubbed his forehead before sitting up and getting out of bed.
He found his phone in the living room of the hotel room. When he unlocked the dark screen, Gu Xizhou was stunned.
It was already ten o 'clock!
He was late for work!
He shouldn't have drunk last night. If Gu Zhizhi found out that he didn't go to work after he disappeared, Zhizhi would be furious. Gu Xizhou hurriedly made a phone call.
"Chief Wang, it's me, Gu Xizhou." After the busy tone, the call finally connected. Gu Xizhou hurriedly shouted.
Wang Ao, who was at the police station, was also stunned when he received Gu Xizhou's call. He said, "What's wrong with you, child? I called you but you didn't pick up. I thought something happened to you on the way to work!
"Your voice … Did you just wake up?"
When Gu Xizhou heard Wang Ao's words, he mumbled, "Yes, Chief Wang. Can I take the day off today?"
"Xizhou, as a criminal police officer, you will see many bad aspects of society. However, these bad aspects need our efforts to change. You have to try to adjust yourself. I'm very sorry about the death of that child and his mother, but there's no other way. Some people can't be woken up. Society still needs to improve. Sooner or later, there will be fewer and fewer people like this. "
After Wang Ao finished speaking, he changed the topic and chuckled. He didn't forget to make a joke. "I'll give you three days off. Have a good rest. Don't let your parents worry. Every time your mother sees me, she scolds me. She even said that I treat the women in the police station like men and treat the men like animals. Am I that cruel?"
"Of course not," Gu Xizhou said.
Wang Ao: "Okay. Have a good rest. I have to go to the city for a meeting. I can't chat with you anymore."
Gu Xizhou hung up the phone and found that Fang Zhi and Ma Qi had sent him messages.
Fang Zhi returned the car to the police station yesterday when he came back. Seeing that he didn't go to work today, he called him several times out of worry.
Fang Zhi: Gu Ge, why aren't you at the police station yet? Did something happen on the way?
Fang Zhi: Gu Ge, answer the phone!
Gu Xizhou glanced at the messages and smiled. When he was about to reply, his eyes fell on Fang Zhi's name and his hand froze.
When he entered the mission world, he used the name 'Fang Ran' because in the world he was resurrected, Zhi Zhi used the alias' Gu Ran '…
Gu Xizhou shook his head and forced these thoughts out of his mind. "I'm not feeling well today. I've already asked for leave from Commissioner Wang. Don't worry."
Fang Zhi: "That's good. Gu Ge, have a good rest!"
Gu Xizhou: "Okay."
Gu Xizhou switched to the other end of WeChat and saw that it was Ma Qi who had sent him the investigation information. After chatting with Ma Qi for a while, Gu Xizhou turned on the hotel's computer and received the information sent over.
Gu Xizhou sat in front of the computer and carefully read the information. At this moment, Si Yu walked out of the room in his sleeping robe. The sunlight reflected on his body and there was a faint smile in his eyes. His handsome features and ink-colored hair were dyed with the sunlight. "You're up so early?"
"Yes. Ma Qi sent me the information. I'm reading it now." Gu Xizhou rubbed his tired eyes. He had read too many words and his eyes were a little uncomfortable.
Si Yu walked over quickly. "Let me help you."
Gu Xizhou sat aside and watched Si Yu work. After a while, Si Yu printed out some information. "Look at these."
Gu Xizhou took the information. 'Adopted Daughter Killed Her Adoptive Father's Whole Family, Then Committed Suicide', 'Ancestral Hall Collapsed, Countless Horrifying Faces Found Underneath'.
These corresponded to the two worlds they had experienced. Lin Meng killed her adoptive parents in the supernatural world and her adoptive parents in the real world all died. The female ghost in the ancestral hall found her own face, which meant that their faces had been picked up.
Gu Xizhou looked at the corresponding photos. These places were the roads they had walked and the scenery they had seen. The people who helped Ma Qi directly removed these completely opposite cases. That was why they couldn't find them.
Because he had accompanied Lin Meng to paint, Gu Xizhou clearly remembered the appearance of the reservoir. It was exactly the same as in the photos.
This mission world was connected to the past. It could change the past and even the future!
Gu Xizhou's heart pounded violently.
"Let's …" Gu Xizhou swallowed and said, "Let's go and have a look."
Si Yu looked down at him and nodded. "Okay. Now? I'll arrange it. "
"Now?"
Gu Xizhou looked up at him and asked.
Si Yu said, "Of course."
Gu Xizhou got into Si Yu's car in a daze. They drove all the way to the airport and got on a private plane. Gu Xizhou was at a loss. He pointed at the plane and asked Si Yu, "Is this yours?"
Si Yu nodded casually as if Gu Xizhou was asking about a toy plane.
Gu Xizhou lowered his head to hide his shock. He didn't expect this rich man to have his own plane.
It only took two hours for the plane to reach the destination. Gu Xizhou saw with his own eyes the reservoir that was exactly the same as the one in the mission world. He also saw the villa built by Lin Meng's adoptive parents on the mountain.
"It's true …"
Gu Xizhou's voice was full of helplessness. Si Yu and his speculation might be true.
The one who controlled his resurrection might be 'Heaven'.
Gu Xizhou looked confused. He couldn't help but think that he might really be a puppet. After all, he was just a person.
