Chapter 295 Have We Met Before?
Ren Anzhi hung up the phone.
"You are not on the file at No. 4 Middle School."
Mr. Wei's cold words echoed in his ears.
Is there really no me? he murmured.
It was clearly a simple and correct confirmation, but he felt a strong sense of resistance and tried to pretend that he didn't hear it at all.
He put on his coat and walked out of the set. "Brother Ren, where are you going?" his assistant Xiao Min shouted from behind.
"I'm done with work. I'm going out for a stroll."
"Brother Ren, please don't be like last time..." Assistant Xiao Min looked embarrassed.
The last time he went out shopping, he was recognized by passers-by and attracted a group of fans to chase him and ask for photos and autographs, causing quite a commotion. Ren Anzhi put on sunglasses and smiled, "Don't worry, I will be careful this time."
"Brother Ren, let me follow you!"
Ren Anzhi waved his hand and strode out.
There is no record of you in the file at No. 4 Middle School.
Mr. Wei's words echoed in his ears again, cold and certain.
That strong sense of unreality surged into his heart again. No. 4 Middle School, No. 4 Middle School, he muttered. The name was swelling in his chest, and Mr. Wei's voice just now was mixed with rustling electronic music, like a sound mixed in the wind.
Maybe he had made some mistake.
He had the urge to call Mr. Wei again to confirm. Maybe there was something that Mr. Wei didn't explain clearly to the archive staff. Maybe I still have a chance to figure it out again...
"Where are you going?" the taxi driver turned around and asked him.
Only then did Ren Anzhi realize that he had unknowingly gotten into a taxi, and the driver looked at him with a questioning look.
"No. 4 Middle School." He originally wanted to say the nearby commercial center, but what came out of his mouth was No. 4 Middle School.
The car started, and Ren Anzhi observed his current appearance through the rearview mirror. He was wearing sunglasses, a scarf around his neck, and a mask on his mouth. His handsome face that could instantly seduce millions of girls was completely covered. Well, no one would recognize him now.
He didn't understand why he took a taxi to No. 4 Middle School. He knew how efficient Mr. Wei was. Since Mr. Wei personally asked someone to ask, the answer he got would definitely not be wrong. What on earth was he hesitating about?
He turned his head to look at the scenery outside the car that was constantly passing by. The name of No. 4 Middle School swayed in his mind, just like when he first saw Wei Hongzhuo's face, an indescribable sense of familiarity, a vague sense of distance and time and space.
I must go to the Fourth Middle School to see if I can remember something, Ren Anzhi said to himself. After repeating this to himself several times, he felt more confident, as if he would be able to recall some .
Soon the taxi stopped beside No. 4 Middle School. A notice hit the window head-on with the wind. On it was written in large letters: "Looking for your beloved cat and chicken."
Ren Anzhi pushed the door open and got out of the car, peeling the notice off the car window. As the title suggests, there was a cute cat and a proud chicken printed on the paper, and the content was that my two pets were accidentally lost a week ago, and if you have any clues, please contact us. Ren Anzhi couldn't help but smile, why would someone raise chickens as pets? He casually threw the notice into the security room at the school gate.
This is No. 4 Middle School.
From the moment he walked into the school gate, Ren Anzhi felt a strange sense of trance. Just like the name of No. 4 Middle School gave him a sense of uncertainty, everything around him was also shaking him. The school lawn, the Qiming Building surrounded by lush trees, next to it was the No. 4 Middle School auditorium, and further ahead was the sparkling school lake.
Was this the scene he remembered? He didn't know.
All the scenery that came into view was too clear, so clear that he couldn't compare it with the No. 4 Middle School he had imagined in the past two days. This is what a school should be like, a campus that even breathes the breath of youth. But is this the No. 4 Middle School in my memory? The No. 4 Middle School I imagined should be more... more what?
He looked around with wide eyes, trying to find clues that might trigger his memory. Around him were students who were running around laughing after class. He looked at , eager to find his past shadow in the students' behavior.
After a moment, he remembered nothing.
His memory of the past was still blank, nothing.
Maybe Mr. Wei is right. I have never been to school here, Ren Anzhi thought disappointedly. Maybe the Fourth Middle School is the Fourth Middle School in some other city. If he studied here, he should be a local. But the local police station helped him investigate, and none of the missing persons in the city in recent years matched him.
I am a stranger from nowhere.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, preparing to take a casual stroll around the campus.
…
…
Why has it become so quiet?
The noisy noise of the students just now receded like a tide in an instant. The whole world seemed to be suddenly put into silence and put into a cupboard.
Ren Anzhi looked around in confusion. All the students were gone. The huge playground was empty, and not a single sound could be heard in the teaching building. All the energetic students disappeared in an instant. It was as if the world had suddenly died...
Then, he saw a girl.
She was wearing a school uniform with the Fourth Middle School written on it, but this uniform was different from the one he had just seen. She was an extremely beautiful girl, and she stared at him calmly, with deep and bottomless eyes.
"You are..." Ren Anzhi asked blankly.
The girl didn't say anything, and there was no expression on her face.
"Excuse me, have we met before..." Ren Anzhi walked towards the girl, but before he got close, the noisy noise of the children came into his ears again.
The world has become a bright and colorful campus again. Students appear in groups on the playground, main roads, and corridors of teaching buildings. Their lively figures and laughter are everywhere.
He turned to look at the girl in surprise. There were swaying tree shadows at the end of the road, and nothing else.
She was like a fleeting shadow.
Blown away by a silent wind.
…
…
Three boys were walking towards him, chatting and laughing. Ren Anzhi was still in a daze. When the three boys passed by him, one of them suddenly jumped in front of him and said, "Hey, you are not Ren Anzhi!"
"Ah...it's not me, you got the wrong person." Ren Anzhi said subconsciously while pressing down on his scarf.
"It's really you, Ren Da Ming Xing, Ren Da Ge, I'm Cui Ming Zhi." The boy said with a smile, "Do you remember our adventure?"
Ren Anzhi took a closer look and found that the boy in front of him was his companion in an incredible dream adventure not long ago. Yes, he was Cui Mingzhi. He also knew the boy next to him. He remembered that he was the king Liu Xingquan in that game adventure. Then there was the boy among them ...
After seeing the boy's face clearly, Ren Anzhi felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his heart. His heart was pounding, and the boy looked up at him, his eyes full of doubt.
"Haha, this is Yan Zhen." Cui Mingzhi patted the boy's shoulder, "He is a little octopus in the game. What do you think? I didn't expect that his real body is a handsome guy."
"Hello." The young man named Yan Zhen greeted him politely.
Yan Zhen. The name went through his mind. He had indeed heard of this name in that game world, but he was not shocked at the time. But why was he so surprised after seeing this face now? He had a vague feeling in his heart, so he asked, "Do you know me?"
"I know, you are Ren Anzhi." Yan Zhen replied.
"Uh, I mean, besides Ren Anzhi, do you know anything about me? Have we met before?"
Yan Zhen looked bewildered: "You are the star who often appears on TV."
"…" He really didn't recognize me in the past. Ren Anzhi thought disappointedly. Strange, what was the reason for the throbbing in my heart when I saw this boy for the first time?
"Brother Ren, Yan Zhen." Cui Mingzhi looked at Ren Anzhi, then turned to look at Yan Zhen, "When you two stood together, I realized that you two look a bit alike."
Ren Anzhi calmed down and looked carefully at the boy in front of him. He did see some of himself in Yan Zhen's features. Was this the reason why he was so surprised? He didn't know, he wasn't sure.
Liu Xingquan said, "They really look a bit alike. Are you relatives?"
Yan Zhen said: "I don't know. There are no big stars among the Yan family's relatives at present."
Relatives? Ren Anzhi thought to himself, this might be a clue.
"Brother Ren," Cui Mingzhi said, "what are you doing in our school?"
"Oh, I will perform at your school celebration. Come and see today."
"Are you going to come to the school anniversary? Wow, I can almost imagine the screams then." Choi Mingzhi said with a smile.
"By the way, I just saw a girl." Ren Anzhi turned his head and looked in the direction where the girl had appeared just now, but there was no one there, only the shadows of trees swaying in the wind.
"Hmm? What?"
"It's nothing, maybe I saw it wrong." Ren Anzhi suddenly felt a little annoyed. He said goodbye to Cui Mingzhi and the other two, turned around and left No. 4 Middle School.
The command room of the Sword of Fortitude.
Mr. Cat lowered his head and glanced at the communication.
In addition to the daily reports on Laura's affairs, there is also the peaceful life of the Yan family. At present, the Yan family believes that Yan An is on a business trip, and the electronic program that simulates Yan An's personality keeps in touch with An Yuan on a daily basis. According to Ma Jingshi, this electronic program simulated the personality and behaved more like Yan An than Yan An in these seven days, and did not arouse any suspicion. But at the same time, the absence of Mr. Cat and Captain Ban in the family has aroused the concerns of the Yan family. Now An Yuan Yanzhu has made a notice to find pets and posted it everywhere.
Yan Zhen's life was normal, and under the spiritual guidance of Mr. Cat before he left, Yan's family did not doubt him. The only small thing was that Yan Zhen agreed to perform at the upcoming Fourth Middle School anniversary, and he would perform on stage in women's clothing.
Mr. Cat glanced at the words "acting in women's clothing". He then glanced at the date of the school anniversary: April 23.
It pressed its cat's paw and connected to the captain of the Sword of Fortitude. "Slow down the ship," it ordered.
The captain on the screen showed a confused expression: "Sir, don't you want to rush back to Laura as quickly as possible?"
"I changed my mind," said Mr. Cat. "Slow down the ship and delay arriving at Lola until the morning of the Fourth Middle School anniversary."
