The atmosphere in the interrogation room was a bit awkward.

Yan Shicheng stared at the two people hugging each other in stunned silence. The information he received was that Zhou Jiren and Gu Shen had just met once.

Judging from the current situation.

How could it be that we only met once?

These two people are like a father and son reunited after a long separation!

"……Hey Hey hey."

Zhou Jiren patted Gu Shen on the shoulder and said with a complicated expression: "You kid, let me go first. There are people here."

The door of the interrogation room was kicked open, and Wei Shu and the extraordinary men following the presiding judge all lay at the door, carefully peering into the scene inside.

This scene really surprised everyone.

"..."

Gu Shen let go of the teacher obediently.

But when he let go, he didn't forget to pat the old guy on the back.

Reunion.

Even if we meet again in a dream, it would be good.

He asked seriously: "Has the amnesty order been issued? When will the review team arrive? Are senior sister and senior brother on their way?"

This continuous questioning of the soul caused Zhou Jiren to fall into silence.

Yan Shicheng keenly captured the key words. He frowned, raised his voice, and said loudly: "Amnesty order?"

"...That's right."

Zhou Jiren took out the token from his lapel.

He glanced at Gu Shen meaningfully and said in a low voice: "I got the 'amnesty order' from the Dongzhou Parliament. I will keep this little guy."

"you are vicious."

Judge Qinghe looked at his old friend and couldn't help but stretch out his middle finger with a helpless smile on his face.

The next scene was almost the same as what I remembered back then.

The interrogation room quickly returned to calm.

This farce ends here.

Gu Shen was assigned to a new residence... The gears of fate re-engaged and began to turn, but because he made a different move than before, some changes occurred in "history".

This time it was not Lu Nanjin who sent him to the new apartment, but Zhou Jiren.

The two of them remained silent along the way.

Gu Shen had been waiting. During the interrogation just now, he had shown great abnormalities. With Zhou Jiren's keenness, it was impossible not to notice it.

The thousand-year-old king and the eighty-thousand-year-old turtle.

It has to be said that this old guy is really calm. He is worthy of being an old fox who has hidden his identity as "031" for so many years. Until he led Gu Shen to open the door of the apartment, Zhou Jiren had no intention of saying anything.

Finally Gu Shen couldn't help it anymore: "Speaking of which...don't you have anything to ask?"

"Yes, I have."

Zhou Jiren held his dragon-headed staff and said calmly: "I'm not blind. I can see that you are abnormal."

Gu Shen looked at the teacher expectantly and blinked.

"Get some rest."

In the end, Zhou Jiren didn't ask anything. He just stretched out his palm, patted Gu Shen's shoulder solemnly, and said, "There are many things waiting for you next."

The door is closed.

Gu Shen was a little disappointed. He knew this was a false dream, but if the teacher asked him why he knew this, he would tell his story in detail, from Nagano to Hokkaido to the Ice Sea. As long as Zhou Jiren has the patience to listen, he is willing to speak slowly.

Although this is just a dream.

But who knows when this dream will wake up?

Gu Shen knew that there were some regrets in this world that he could no longer make up for... If he really got another chance, he didn't want his original regrets to happen again.

…

…

"My extraordinary abilities...can't be used yet."

Gu Shen lay on the bed and stretched out his five fingers.

Blazing fire cannot be summoned.

Is it because the "timeline" goes backwards?

In this real dream, I have not yet realized the awakening of my extraordinary abilities.

Or is it because I can't "break" this dream?

The real world has many rules, and the dream world has the same rules.

Once a transcendent falls into a dream, unless he achieves "breakability", he will be tightly restricted by the rules of the dream world.

The world in front of him was extremely real, and Gu Shen could not find any "flaws" or "loopholes" in this world.

"So where exactly did 【Deep Sea】 banish me to? Is this a purely spiritual world?"

Gu Shen took back his palm in distress.

His tense spirit suddenly relaxed after he opened his eyes...

Danger?

There is no danger at all here.

On the contrary, his heart was calm as never before.

"Wait...if I am exiled, where is Chu Ling?"

Gu Shen suddenly turned over and sat up.

He suddenly remembered that there was a throne of the Lord of Love in the airship cabin, and Chu Ling's consciousness was stored in the throne of the Lord of Love.

According to the timeline of his first life, he will leave the apartment tonight, go to the scene of the fire, and retrieve his own 【Ruler of Truth】. However, there seems to be no such thing as an orange cat in this life, so give it to yourself. The person who returned to the apartment was not the senior sister but the teacher.

There is no orange cat, which means that Chu Ling will not contact him through the spiritual network.

Cold sweat broke out on Gu Shen's forehead.

The orange cat disappears... Is it possible that Chu Ling is not in this life at all?

Gu Shen took a deep breath to calm down.

Wait, is this just a dream?

It doesn't matter what happens in the dream, right?

Perhaps it was because this dream was so real... He actually began to worry about Chu Ling's safety.

Gu Shen comforted himself not to be too nervous, but driven by intuition, Gu Shen quickly put on his coat, called a taxi, and set off towards the fire-damaged building.

He was the only one in this operation, but it didn't matter. Even without Chu Ling's help, he could still complete the task of "retrieving" the Ruler of Truth.

in his memory.

Since the fire case has attracted the attention of senior officials in Nagano, the old building that caught fire will be personally guarded by senior brother Zhong Wei. Then the hypnotist of the Jiujiu Foundation will cause an accident at the scene, thus "spurring senior brother Zhong Wei away from the mountain". Little does he know that this is just a ruling According to the "invite you into the urn" plan, Luo Er and Lu Nanjin will wait in the night to catch the real big fish behind the scenes.

Everything is repeated from memory.

Zhong Wei was led away, and Gu Shen seized the opportunity and successfully entered the old building. However, this time he found nothing.

For the first time in life, the 【Ruler of Truth】 was hidden in the sandwich of wooden boards.

This time he returned to his old place.

When I opened the board, there was nothing.

There is no orange cat and no 【Ruler of Truth】...

Gu Shen stood in the darkness, lost in thought. He frowned and stared at the darkness in front of him.

"What are you looking for?"

A very soft voice sounded behind Gu Shen.

There was not a single sound of footsteps in the building from beginning to end.

The owner of that voice seemed to have been standing behind Gu Shen all along and only waited until now to speak.

"...senior sister!"

The voice was very childish, and Gu Shen guessed the identity of the other party as soon as he heard it.

【Tian Tong】 Luo Er!

He turned around, but before he could see the other person's face clearly, a huge force came from the darkness, pressing him firmly against the wall.

The girl in the darkness has her feet suspended off the ground. Of course she won't stay here forever... but she doesn't need to walk by herself at all, so she won't make a single sound.

"What did you call me?"

Luo Er narrowed his eyes and stared at Gu Shen, with disbelief flashing in his eyes.

"Senior sister, senior sister——"

Gu Shen quickly raised his hands and explained with a wry smile: "I am Gu Shen, the newcomer who joined the adjudication office and became the teacher's subordinate..."

Bang.

The power in the void was dispersed, and Gu Shen sat down on the ground, not getting up at all.

Now that the orange cat and the ruler of truth are gone.

He had nothing to explain.

"Gu Shen...why are you here?"

Luo Er narrowed his eyes.

She slowly landed on the ground and looked at the boy in front of her.

According to the events of the last timeline, Gu Shen's meeting with Senior Sister Tiantong would be on the next day. At that time, he would enter the Four Seasons Wilderness and learn the Jingzhe Breathing Technique.

but……

This time, the two met earlier.

"I said that I was too restless and accidentally ended up here. Senior sister, do you believe it?"

Gu Shen blinked and observed Tiantong's reaction.

"Accidentally came here?"

Luo Er had no expression on his face and asked coldly: "But you shouldn't know my identity yet..."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Shen was stunned.

What Senior Sister Tiantong said was "You shouldn't know yet", not "How could you know".

This sentence contains a lot of information.

"My files are highly confidential in the database. Except for the adjudicator at the Nagano headquarters, only a few people have seen my true face."

Luo Er said calmly: "As for you now, you are definitely not among this group."

"The teacher told me about you."

After Gu Shen vaguely felt something was wrong, he used an excuse to answer.

Of course...this answer is more of a test!

"Impossible! It's impossible for the teacher to mention my existence to you!"

Luo Er reprimanded categorically: "And how long have we known each other? We only called him teacher... Are you and him so close now?"

She grasped Gu Shen's collar with one hand, and her voice was harsh, even with murderous intent: "You are not a real junior brother, tell me, who are you?!"

"boom!"

Gu Shen was pressed against the wall again.

Junior brother?

Luo Er just called him junior brother?

He stared blankly at the 【Tian Tong】 in front of him.

At this moment, a bold idea came to Gu Shen's mind.

He originally thought that everything that happened in this world was just a dream.

But... that doesn't seem to be the case.

The way the teacher looked at him during the day obviously had many meanings.

And now the title of "little junior brother" made Gu Shen even more suspicious... Maybe some people in this world are real.

For example, the teacher, and another example...Senior Sister Tiantong in front of me!

"Answer quickly! Or I'll kill you!"

Luo Er looked at the silent young man and shouted coldly.

"What if I say...the reason why I call you 'Senior Sister' is because I have known you a long time ago?"

Gu Shen spoke in a hoarse voice.

Luo Er's expression suddenly changed at this moment, and she looked at Gu Shen in disbelief.

The strength in her hands became lighter.

"If we only met on the first day, then why would you call me junior brother?"

Gu Shen lowered his eyes and smiled, saying.

"After all, tomorrow is the day when we officially 'meet', and my breathing skills are very bad. It will take a long time before you will recognize me from the bottom of your heart and call me junior brother."

He raised his head and looked at his senior sister.

"Sister, I am Gu Shen, Gu Shen from the 'future'."

"Now……"

"Nearly ten years have passed since the disaster in Piyue City came to an end."
