"I took the school's admissions exam, and the black cat guided me to take the exam... Are these two things real, or are they just dreams?"
"It's real, and it's also a dream. There's no conflict."
"Which one is in front and which one is behind? Did I lead myself to become a wizard, or did I turn around and 'cross' myself after becoming a wizard?"
"Time is linear, but life is not." Regarding this question, the husband's answer was a bit vague and did not give Zheng Qing the most direct answer: "Life is always full of disagreements, cycles, and paradoxes. Beyond the constraints of dimensions
When we look at this world, it is difficult for us to confirm which timeline of history is true...because they are all equally true."
Zheng Qing tried hard to think about his husband's words.
Then he asked the last question, which was also the question he was most concerned about: "Is my life... planned?"
"It depends on how you define 'planning'," Mr. looked at his eyes seriously and replied softly: "A life without planning can only be called living, and a life with planning is life. As I just said
"There are many different paths in life. Without a certain plan, it is a sad thing for anyone to step on the wrong path."
"You will be like walking in the endless desert, thirsty and hungry. You can only hold the wind and sand with your hands."
"If you are just worried about your life being 'dominated' or 'controlled' by others, then you can rest assured. No, I don't mean to comfort you. I just want to tell you that 99% of the world's
Ninety-nine people have been dominated by others throughout their lives. This is not a terrible thing."
"The scary thing is that you are being dominated by others without realizing it... In this regard, you are already much better than most people."
"If you truly master the power of the forbidden spell, you can do better. Because by that time, you will understand the meaning of control and know how heavy a burden it is to control your own destiny."
The conversation between Zheng Qing and his husband came to an end.
These words were enough for the young wizard to think about for a long time. Of course, the main reason for the suspension of the conversation was that the yellow civet who went to pick up people from the school came back. It took Jiang Yu and returned to the bookstore through the 'big clock' temporarily approved by the school.
.
"The school is a mess right now." Huanghuali quickly jumped over the barriers between bookshelves, tables and chairs, jumped onto the desk, skillfully picked up the teacher's tea cup, took a few sips of tea, and then complained: "The relationship between Jiuyou and Alpha
There were constant conflicts among students, and the school working committee was seriously short of manpower... They only turned on a temporary 'big clock', but they made me wait for a full half an hour!"
The gentleman ignored the complaints of the yellow crocodile.
He adjusted his glasses, his eyes fell on a witch who followed the tabby cat into the bookstore, and nodded very friendly: "Classmate Jiang Yu? Why don't you come and come?"
As he spoke, the lights in the store suddenly became much brighter, and Zheng Qing finally saw his friend again.
Compared with the last time they met, Jiang Yu's face looked much better now.
But it's still a little pale.
"It doesn't matter." The witch simply nodded to the bookstore owner, and then turned her attention to the young public-funded student.
Zheng Qing also looked at her carefully at the same time.
She wears a dark red rabbit fur chain-decorated wide-brimmed hat on her head, a beige long windbreaker, a white shirt and black wide-leg pants underneath, black witch shoes on her feet, and a women's bag in her hand.
, the jade that was originally consumed on the five-color silk ribbon on the wrist has been replenished, and a new jade pendant hangs from the belt.
Only half a day passed from parting to meeting again, but for Zheng Qing, it was a long and hard journey. This kind of joy is difficult to describe in words.
He couldn't help but excitedly took a step forward, stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to hug the witch, but then he realized that his actions were a bit 'out of bounds', and he froze in place, and his raised arms could neither be retracted nor extended.
.
On the contrary, Jiang Yu behaved more bravely.
She took a few steps, hugged the wizard who stretched out her hand, patted his back gently, paused for a moment, and then took a step back, revealing a slightly red face:
"haven't seen you for a long time."
But his voice was very calm, as if he just said a normal hello to his classmates.
The delicate fragrance of the witch and the feeling of her caressing his back made the boy stiff from head to toe.
"Long time no see." He replied dryly, but surprisingly his face did not feel hot, only a warm feeling surged in his heart.
"Pfft," the sound of a golden civet snoring was heard not far away, and then Zheng Qing heard its whisper: "It hasn't even been twelve hours from morning to night... Where did it come from that we haven't seen each other for so long?"
This sentence made the young wizards and witches who had already calmed down immediately become embarrassed.
"One day is like three autumns, and half a day is like three autumns. It can be considered a long time." The gentleman joked next to him, then skipped the topic and looked at the witch:
"It's not polite to keep guests waiting for a long time. Before that, I think Jiang Yu might still be a little confused as to why she came here."
Zheng Qing nodded vigorously on Jiang Yu's behalf.
Any topic is fine, as long as it can get rid of the awkward atmosphere in front of you.
"Before answering this confusion, please allow me to briefly describe the situation you are facing." The gentleman stood up, walked around the two young wizards, and walked between two tall bookshelves.
His voice came from behind the bookshelf very clearly:
"Earlier today, you conducted an illegal magic experiment in a newly born secret realm in the Silent Forest, and mistakenly guided the arrival of two alien gods."
"Luckily you are still alive."
"Unfortunately, classmate Elena Jones was forced to make a huge sacrifice. At the most critical moment of the battle, in order to stop Tsathogua, Ms. Jones sacrificed herself to a long-sleeping man deep in the starry sky.
of the moon."
Jiang Yu bit her lip and her face turned a little paler.
The joy that had welled up in Zheng Qing's heart just a moment ago disappeared completely again under the cruel description of his husband.
"...If you want to rescue the trapped classmate Elena Jones, you need to work together." At this point, the gentleman had already walked back from behind the bookshelf, holding a brown leather scroll about a foot long in his hand.
"What do we need to do?" Jiang Yu asked directly.
"Be a witness." The gentleman smiled slightly, raised the scroll in his hand, and walked between the young wizards and witches: "Jelena is now in a very subtle state, between life and death. I want to
To pull her back from that state, we need to build a strong anchor."
