Chapter 185 Guardian (Forty-three)
Oops, this dream has begun to collapse.
Qiao Yuan's heart tightened.
However, as soon as this thought came into her mind, she felt her body suddenly lose balance.
She fell.
It only took a moment for the entire ground to collapse completely. Qiao Yuan and others had no time to react before they were surrounded by the feeling of weightlessness.
The feeling of falling rapidly made Qiao Yuan unable to open his eyes. His vision and consciousness seemed to be pulled deeper and his mind was unable to think at all.
Fortunately, after a while, the feeling of weightlessness stopped and Qiao Yuan was finally able to open his eyes.
In front of him was the familiar school hospital, and even the hospital room where Su Zeyuan had stayed several times before. However, the familiar place could not evoke any memories for Qiao Yuan.
Looking around, there was no one else here except her.
Judging from the time turning on the wall, Qiao Yuan realized that they had returned to the starting point, which was the real world they thought it was at the beginning.
But now, based on Xu Yunchuan's words, Qiao Yuan also realized that this was just a part of Su Zeyuan's dream.
But now that the other party has fully awakened, the collapse of this dream is just a matter of thought for him.
Although according to the description of the evil god, the other eye is on her. But looking at Su Zeyuan's attitude, it doesn't seem like he wants to recognize her...
The sudden sound of footsteps disrupted Qiao Yuan's thoughts. She looked vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from and found it was the corridor.
The footsteps were quickly approaching the door, and even if Qiao Yuan wanted to find a place to hide, it was too late.
Through the open door, Qiao Yuan met the eyes of the person outside and saw a face that was all too familiar.
It turned out to be Sheng Yegui.
Qiao Yuan was stunned. She had heard Su Zeyuan say that the other party had encountered a ghost and died. Although she knew that Su Zeyuan must be lying, but at that time Sheng Yegui did not show up, Qiao Yuan also guessed that he was in danger.
However, because all his attention was on Su Zeyuan and the mission at that time, Qiao Yuan had no time to look for him.
But she didn't expect to meet Sheng Yegui here.
Oh, that’s not right. Judging from his eyes, it’s Sheng Guiye.
Qiao Yuan only took a quick glance just now, but now that he looked carefully, he could see the difference -
The look that Sheng Yegui gave her could be described as gentle as water, whereas Sheng Guiye's gaze was obviously much more distant.
Sheng Guiye naturally noticed Qiao Yuan. After some confirmation, Qiao Yuan was sure that the Sheng Guiye in front of him was really him, not a ghost in disguise.
According to Sheng Guiye, although Sheng Yegui had the upper hand at that time, he also had some memories of that time. He was caught off guard by the ghost at that time, but after reacting, Sheng Yegui quickly resisted and eventually formed a confrontation with the ghost, and even found a chance to escape.
Just as Sheng Yegui was about to find Qiao Yuan and others, the ground suddenly collapsed and he fell down.
The brief period of chaos allowed Sheng Yegui and Sheng Guiye to take control of the body at the same time. While the two were fighting, Sheng Guiye found a Buddhist bracelet that was left by an unknown student. He was essentially a businessman, and was much more experienced in negotiations than a househusband like Sheng Yegui. Therefore, Sheng Guiye deliberately lowered Sheng Yegui's vigilance, and then took the opportunity to take the initiative in the body, snatched the bracelet, and finally completely took control of the body.
However, Sheng Guiye naturally couldn't tell Qiao Yuan about these things, so he quickly changed the subject: "There is something wrong with Su Zeyuan."
As if he felt that Qiao Yuan didn't believe him, he quickly said, "I'm not Sheng Yegui, so this has nothing to do with personal feelings."
Qiao Yuan automatically ignored the second half of the other party's sentence.
She had already noticed the bracelet on his wrist and had more or less guessed something, so she didn't ask any more questions. After hearing Sheng Guiye's words, Qiao Yuan used a few words to successfully explain what he meant.
Sheng Guiye's expression also became serious, but what shocked him even more was Qiao Yuan's intention : "You want to try to negotiate with God?"
Qiao Yuan: "This is the only way to go now."
Sheng Guiye frowned and said, "Although you are indeed outstanding in some aspects, your negotiation partner is not the same person or ghost as before."
It's not like he hasn't conducted business negotiations before, so he knows the difficulty even more. After all, even though he has witnessed some of Qiao Yuan's behavior in the past, the difficulty this time is obviously different from before.
In his opinion, Qiao Yuan's behavior was tantamount to seeking death, and might even anger the other party.
Sheng Guiye: "Anyway, we... I will think of other ways..."
"But you don't have much time left to think." He was interrupted by Qiao Yuan before he could finish his words.
Sheng Guiye was just about to say that he knew when he noticed that Qiao Yuan's eyes were looking straight behind him.
Sheng Guiye turned his head and met a pair of golden eyes.
Sheng Guiye: "..."
It turns out that the short time that Qiao Yuan was talking about was actually referring to the distance.
This was the first time Sheng Guiye saw Su Zeyuan's new skin, but he could already see the difference from his cold eyes. After all, even though they had only been together for a short time, he still remembered Su Zeyuan's gentle and shy eyes.
If he had previously thought that the possibility of Qiao Yuan being able to convince the other party was slim, then after meeting Su Zeyuan's gaze, he felt that the probability of Qiao Yuan being able to convince the other party had returned to zero.
As the Eye of Narcissus approached, a familiar sense of vibration came, making Sheng Guiye realize that this dream was about to collapse.
However, even though his brain was working so fast, trying to block out the surrounding environment, the time was still too short.
Sheng Guiye's heart was already in his throat, but when he glanced at Qiao Yuan, he found that he looked relieved.
Sheng Guiye:?
His first reaction was that he had seen it wrong, but what he didn't know was that Qiao Yuan was indeed feeling lucky now. After all, the other party coming now also saved her the trouble of looking for it later.
Qiao Yuan: "Wait a moment, classmate Su Zeyuan."
Although he already knew Su Zeyuan's real name from Xu Yunchuan, Qiao Yuan still chose to call him by this name in order to get closer to him.
Fortunately, this god, who was still wearing the shell of Su Zeyuan, neither agreed nor refused.
Qiao Yuan's heart instantly calmed down, and he said, "In fact, you felt familiar with me before because the other Eye of Narcis is on me."
Su Zeyuan: "So what."
Qiao Yuan: “…”
Well, it really didn't work. It seems that the bridge of the nose may have hindered the relationship between the two eyes.
Qiao Yuan: "Do you still remember everything we have been through?"
"We used to feed cats together during breaks and walk around the school together. You also helped a couple who were dating in the school to cover up and helped teachers who passed by to carry water."
"You went to the school hospital four or five times, so much so that the school doctor already knew us. At that time, people were always dying around you, but you still comforted me not to be afraid..."
Sheng Guiye: "..."
It sounds a bit like Su Zeyuan's annual report. It turns out that the negotiation that Qiao Yuan mentioned was just an attempt to evoke the other party's memories.
However, what Qiao Yuan said was indeed very vivid. Even though some of it was participated by his second personality and he was just a bystander, he still felt as if he was there under Qiao Yuan's narration.
However, Su Zeyuan no longer had that kind of emotion. His expression did not fluctuate when he heard the words, and he didn't even blink.
At first glance, it looks like an exquisite statue, but its lethality is clearly not static.
Because he had already anticipated that the result would be failure, Sheng Guiye did not feel disappointed at all. He just felt a sense of "as expected" from the bottom of his heart.
What method can be used to escape from the current situation...
Sheng Guiye's eyes flickered, and he felt the approach of death more deeply than before.
"So you don't care about these things." Qiao Yuan sighed and said in a low voice: "If that's the case, why do you want to be our classmate?"
"Are you kidding us? You just treat us as toys to keep you company, but I treat you as a friend..."
What no one expected was that Su Zeyuan actually answered this time, but his voice was cold: "I don't treat you as toys, you are not qualified yet."
What a thoughtful comfort.
Although the other party was indifferent, his remaining pride clearly prompted him to refute.
Qiao Yuan had already noticed this, so he said this deliberately, trying to force the other party to correct himself.
However, Qiao Yuan had already realized something and was waiting for Su Zeyuan's next words: "I had no memory before, but I gradually woke up later."
Qiao Yuan's eyes lit up: "So you are still Su Zeyuan?"
"Still my friend, right?"
Perhaps because he couldn't help but strike up a conversation just now, Su Zeyuan quickly said, "Once."
Qiao Yuan corrected: "It was twenty minutes ago."
Su Zeyuan's words made it seem as if every day with her was like a year.
She smiled bitterly: "So you want to kill us?"
Su Zeyuan: "No, you are just characters in my dreams."
"When I wake up, you will disappear. This is just your predetermined fate. I don't mean to kill you. This is also the order of things."
What is fate and order? In the end, isn't it this so-called Eye of Narses that affects her life and death?
Although he secretly complained in his heart, Qiao Yuan did not show it on his face. Instead, he looked like he had finally learned the truth and had no regrets in his death: "So that's how it is."
"To be honest, when I saw you say you were not human, I thought you were crazy because of the pressure of the college entrance examination."
"After all, the college entrance examination is really difficult, and we are indeed lagging behind others in this regard..."
Sheng Guiye suspected that Qiao Yuan had become incoherent due to despair, and was still obsessed with the college entrance examination.
Before Qiao Yuan could finish his words, he was interrupted by the other party: "When did I say that?"
This time, the other party's voice finally had emotion.
Qiao Yuan pondered: "That day when we fed the cat together."
"It's normal that you don't remember. After all, we talked about a lot of topics when we were together, but I remember them all..."
She did not lie, she and Su Zeyuan did talk about a lot of topics at that time. This was one of the times when she wanted to get closer to him again, she expressed her feelings like an ordinary college entrance examination candidate, and Su Zeyuan also responded out of politeness.
Qiao Yuan remembered it all clearly.
The Eye of Narcissus did not speak again, but its long silence made Qiao Yuan guess that it was searching its memory.
That's good.
