In the dark and narrow storage room, Mi Youran crawled out from the corner where she had been huddled for half the night. Her legs were so sore and numb because she kept in one position for too long, as if there were ten thousand ants crawling on her body.

Mi Youran hasn't moved since she ended her call with Mi He.

Although her reason told her that the best thing she should do now was to pretend that she knew nothing and not to show any flaws, so as not to anger Wei Mingguang and directly change the current barely peaceful relationship mode into a nuclear peace mode.

But I'm still afraid.

No one can avoid fear of the unknown.

Mi Youran is not afraid of Mi He because from the first meeting, Mi He has given her all his sincerity and goodwill.

She saved her life, gave her freedom, gave her the chance to get rid of the Mi family completely, so that she didn't have to marry a stranger, let alone become a tool used by Mi Kuan to make profit.

Because of this unreserved goodwill, Mi Youran quickly accepted this 'alien' after a brief period of shock.

But Wei Mingguang is different.

Whether it was the initial recruitment or the current strange confinement, Mi Youran felt scared from the bottom of her heart.

She suddenly remembered a joke she had seen a long time ago.

Meng Po, who guards Naihe Bridge, cooks Meng Po soup every day to feed the souls waiting for reincarnation, so that they can forget their past lives.

One day, Po Meng suddenly wanted to taste the saltiness of the soup for herself.

So she picked up the spoon, took a spoonful of soup and drank it.

After a while.

Po Meng wanted to taste the saltiness of the soup for herself.

So she took a spoonful of soup and drank it.

After a while.

Po Meng wanted to taste the saltiness of the soup for herself.

So she...

…

People are made up of memories. When memories are constantly reset and hinted at, people will be easily confused, and all autonomous behaviors may become a kind of self-confidence.

Just like she is now.

One day, Mi Youran felt that she had seen through the truth, so she wanted to escape, but the moment she walked out of the door, she forgot the truth, so her desire to work prompted her to return to the villa again.

After coming back, she remembered everything, then escaped again, and then...

Now Mi Youran is the same Meng Po who kept drinking soup in order to taste the saltiness.

The worst thing is that she doesn't even know when this terrible vicious cycle started.

Where is the starting point and where is the end point?

Does it really start with her wanting to leave the villa and end with her return to the villa?

Or is it that her current self-questioning has happened countless times before? What she is thinking now was also what she thought in the past?

This guess is too scary.

Mi Youran couldn't help shuddering, and she broke out in a cold sweat by relying on her imagination.

From ancient times to the present, self-doubt is the root of self-destruction. If a person cannot even believe in herself, then she is destined to be lost, just like a prey caught in a spider's web. Because she cannot find the direction to escape, she only

Can wait to be imprisoned by layers of spider silk.

Mi Youran clenched her palms tightly, exhaled heavily, and forced these terrible conjectures back to the bottom of her heart.

Instead of thinking about whether these things exist or not, the most important thing now is to try to lower your guard against danger and look for opportunities to escape.

After preparing herself mentally, Mi Youran quietly opened the door of the storage room, and then...

The psychological construction that was just done collapsed in an instant.

Wei Mingguang, who was in a wheelchair, was waiting for her at the door.

Mi Youran: "..."

Oh haha.

After a period of treatment, Wei Mingguang's physical condition has begun to improve. At least the deterioration of his condition has been curbed, and the pain that has plagued him day and night has also disappeared.

Recalling the severe pain that seemed to crush all the bones in his body, the embarrassment of being unable to swallow on his own, and his breathing gradually becoming weak, and all he could do was wait for death to pass, Wei Mingguang felt as if he was in another world.

Although he still can't move now, he has seen real hope.

"I'm not an alien." Wei Mingguang said with a half-smile under Mi Youran's horrified gaze.

Mi Youran: "..."

It’s numb!

When did this person come?

She told Mi He that she was abducted by aliens, but what happened yesterday is now the next morning!

This man, how bored is he to be waiting at the door of the storage room for so long!

While Mi Youran was complaining crazily, she couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't kill her immediately, and he didn't break in directly, which means there is still room for change in this matter...right?

Wei Mingguang looked at Mi Youran's frightened and distorted face, laughed in a very evil way, and joked: "Have you ever seen a paralyzed alien?"

Mi Youran's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't know which tendon was wrong, so she opened her mouth and said, "I've never seen an alien who wasn't paralyzed!"

Wei Mingguang: "..."

How does he handle this?

Do you want to say, oh, then I am luckier than you, I have seen it before?

Outrageous.

Mi You later realized with a guilty conscience that he didn't have 300 taels of silver in this place, and quickly said, "Perhaps aliens of your kind are paralyzed?!"

"..." Wei Mingguang twitched the corner of his mouth, "Variety?"

Why can someone describe aliens as being like selectively bred pigs?

Mi Youran: "..."

She wanted to slap her mouth twice.

But now it was basically a trap. She could only bite the bullet and said: "Don't you like this wording? Because you feel insulted? If you are not an alien, why are you so insulting?"

It can be said to be very confusing.

Wei Mingguang was silent for two seconds and simply skipped the topic: "You are very strange."

Mi Youran subconsciously retorted: "You're the weird one!"

Wei Mingguang: "..."

He really regretted it, why did he keep Mi Youran? Even if he really needed someone to accompany him, he should have found a caregiver, not a bully!

"Why do you think of aliens?" This is what Wei Mingguang couldn't figure out the most. When a normal person sees these high-tech products in the villa, shouldn't they be guessing that these are new things secretly developed by the country?

?

Even if you find that there is something wrong with your memory, considering that Chinese people have grown up being influenced by stories about supernatural beings, they should suspect that there are some evil spirits at play, right? If you are an atheist, you might also suspect that you are crazy.

But Mi Youran just skipped countless wrong choices and went straight to the only answer.

Is this reasonable?

It's not that it can't be explained by coincidence, but Wei Mingguang just feels that if this is also a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence.

Mi Youran was numb from her scalp to her tailbone in an instant.

Of course she knew why she was like this.

Because of Mihe.

Because she has indeed seen aliens, she came up with the idea that if there is one, there are two. Mi He can come to the earth, and maybe other aliens can also come.

This was completely subconscious feedback. If Wei Mingguang hadn't brought it up, she wouldn't have even felt there was anything wrong.

She secretly twisted the back of her hand and forced herself to calm down: "I like reading science fiction novels very much. There are so many black technologies in the villa. I think it's normal for aliens to do it? The Jade Emperor is not responsible for developing robots."

Wei Mingguang: "..."

What he said made sense, but he was speechless.
