Gu Wenyu's heart was chilled by this basin of cold water.
Seeing Gu Wenyu's sad face, Teacher Zhu asked, "Have you met him?"
"Yeah." Gu Wenyu almost cried.
"Where did you meet him? You and I will go take a look."
"I'm afraid I can't take you there." Gu Wenyu felt bitter. If she could let Teacher Zhu return to the real world to help, she wouldn't ask so many nonsense questions.
Teacher Zhu: "?"
Gu Wenyu saw that Teacher Zhu was full of doubts, so she explained: "It's at my home, but my home is too far away, and I can't go back for a while." Her home is very far away, so far away that she has left the world in the book.
Teacher Zhu seemed to believe it. He thought for a while and then handed Gu Wenyu a small box of golden powder, which was only the size of a palm. "If you really encounter a demon, this thing may be useful."
Gu Wenyu took the small box and felt even more miserable. She didn't know if this thing could bring out the world in the book. It probably couldn't! Hey...
Although he was thinking this, Gu Wenyu still asked, "Can this thing kill demons?"
Teacher Zhu said calmly: "No, if you spill it and run away, you might be able to save your life."
Gu Wenyu: "..." Are you kidding her?
Seeing Gu Wenyu's bitter look, Teacher Zhu said at the right time: "If you really want to protect yourself, you still have to go back with me to see my master. When you can condense the Horcrux, you will naturally have it."
The ability to protect oneself.”
Gu Wenyu was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then said leisurely: "I would like to go back with you, but the conditions do not allow it."
Teacher Zhu: “What do you mean?”
Gu Wenyu was silent again. She struggled for a long time, then seemed to give up, and finally asked tentatively: "Teacher Zhu, have you ever forgotten anything?"
"Forgot what?" Teacher Zhu was puzzled.
"Have you ever woken up one day and suddenly realized that you had forgotten what happened yesterday, or even what happened for many days?" Gu Wenyu asked this because she suspected that her brother had borrowed Teacher Zhu's identity, just like she is now
It's the same as borrowing Shen Qing's identity.
Teacher Zhu's pupils shrank, as if he remembered something, but he remained calm and asked: "Why do you ask?"
Gu Wenyu suddenly jogged two steps and ran in front of Teacher Zhu. Then he turned back and looked into his eyes and asked again, "Have you ever forgotten anything?"
Teacher Zhu was stopped by Gu Wenyu, so he had to stop, but still did not answer Gu Wenyu's question. He didn't know how Gu Wenyu knew about this, so he didn't dare to answer rashly.
"Maybe I have. If you really don't remember, how would you know that you have forgotten." Teacher Zhu's answer was ambiguous, and then he bypassed Gu Wenyu and continued walking forward.
Gu Wenyu did not catch up immediately. She carefully analyzed Teacher Zhu's expression and the meaning of his words. After Teacher Zhu walked a few meters away, Gu Wenyu trotted after him again.
"Teacher, if you forget something that happened a long time ago, you will indeed not be able to remember it clearly, but if you forget what happened yesterday and don't remember anything the whole day, then you will definitely feel weird, right?" Gu Wenyu said this.
He had been staring at Teacher Zhu's side face all the time. Gu Wenyu should be able to detect any unnatural look in his eyes.
Sure enough, Teacher Zhu's footsteps paused for a moment. He turned his face slightly, as if to avoid Gu Wenyu's eyes intentionally, then touched his nose and said with a smile: "Really..."
Gu Wenyu frowned, and then said in a positive tone: "The teacher has indeed forgotten something."
Teacher Zhu suddenly looked at Gu Wenyu, looking at her with an inquiring look, "Who are you?"
When Gu Wenyu saw Teacher Zhu's reaction, she was stunned for a moment, then she smiled slightly and said, "I am Gu Wenyu."
Teacher Zhu: "?" Who is Gu Wenyu?
Seeing that Teacher Zhu was confused by her, Gu Wenyu continued to explain: "I'm sorry, Teacher Zhu, I'm not Shen Qing, I just borrowed her identity. I'm Gu Wenyu, and I'm here to see my brother."
"Borrowing identity? How?" Teacher Zhu seemed to vaguely understand something, but there were too few clues to completely connect them.
"This... I'm not particularly clear. If I said that I am not from this world, would you believe it?" Gu Wenyu really didn't know how to explain it, and it was impossible for her to tell Teacher Zhu that the world now is just a book.
In this world, he is just a person in the book. How can Teacher Zhu accept this kind of thing?
Teacher Zhu was silent for a while, then nodded and asked: "Then, are you a human race?"
Gu Wenyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Yes."
Teacher Zhu: "You haven't answered me yet, how can you borrow your identity?"
Gu Wenyu shook his head, looking helpless, and said: "I don't know, I fainted before, and when I woke up, I was Shen Qing."
Teacher Zhu narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Wenyu. He obviously didn't believe this statement.
Gu Wenyu couldn't help it, "I don't need to lie to you, otherwise I would just say nothing."
Teacher Zhu thought about it again and seemed to think that what Gu Wenyu said was right. Regarding Gu Wenyu's identity, as long as Gu Wenyu himself didn't tell him, he would not be able to find out that Gu Wenyu was not Shen Qing's business.
"Then why are you telling me this?" Teacher Zhu asked.
"My brother may have borrowed your identity." Gu Wenyu said bluntly.
Teacher Zhu: "..."
Gu Wenyu didn't care about Teacher Zhu's reaction. She continued: "So what happened in those times you forgot? Did you encounter a demon?"
Teacher Zhu asked in a funny tone: "Since I have forgotten everything, how can I possibly know what happened?"
Gu Wenyu also smiled, "For such an important matter, you will definitely ask others, such as your master."
"You are quite smart." Teacher Zhu said this, and Gu Wenyu knew that he had guessed correctly.
"So I really encountered a demon..." Gu Wenyu put his chin in his hand and began to think.
"When did you start borrowing Shen Qing's identity?"
"yesterday."
"The Soul-Eating Beast also happened to appear yesterday and started killing people." Teacher Zhu grasped the key to the problem, and he asked vigilantly: "Is the Soul-Eating Beast related to you?"
"How is that possible?" Gu Wenyu rolled his eyes, "If it was really me who did it, why would I save you?"
Teacher Zhu touched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "It's such a coincidence that it's normal for me to doubt you."
"It is indeed a coincidence." Gu Wenyu did not dwell on this anymore, but continued to ask: "Was the case my brother handled before troublesome? How long did it take? When was that? Was your soul power strong at that time?
Qiang? Can you transform that writing brush? Did he leave any words?"
Teacher Zhu was stunned by Gu Wenyu's series of questions, "...What exactly do you want to ask?"
