Lu Tian woke up to the sound of the phone ringing.
The curtains in the hotel room were closed and it was a little dim. He heard the voice of "Good Luck Comes" and picked up the phone. It was Feng Yu calling.
"Hey, hey, I've arrived at the place where I'm staying. I'll call you to say I'm safe."
Feng Yu's voice sounded lively and sunny.
"Oh, that's good. It's quite far. I slept all night."
Lu Kan moved his shoulders. His body might be a little sore because of his sleeping position.
"You will feel sleepy after eating enough, but you can't sleep for too long, or you will gain weight!"
When Lu Tan opened the curtains, Feng Yu's voice came, as soft and waxy as sunshine.
"I know."
After chatting with Feng Yu for a few words, Lu Tan hung up the phone.
He put down his cell phone, went to the bathroom, washed his face with water, and looked at himself in the mirror, seeming a little haggard.
After simply taking a shower and changing his clothes, Lu Tian sat on the bed.
He opened his laptop, clicked on the web page, and typed two words in the search bar.
Feng Yu.
After entering the search engine, Lu Jian saw a piece of news.
"Recently, a film crew encountered a flash flood while filming in Thunder Mountain. Many crew members were killed and many others were injured."
Under the news, I saw Feng Yu's name.
She was one of the victims of the disaster.
Lu Tan looked at the time in the news. It was March this year, probably not long after he traveled through time.
"She pretended to be Feng Yu to communicate with me. What's her purpose?"
Lu Tan frowned slightly.
From the first time he saw Feng Yu, he felt something was wrong. It was only later, before leaving, that Lu Tan finally recalled where the sense of dissonance lay.
Feng Yu had barely exchanged words with Lu Tan in college, but when the two of them chatted, they were like old friends who had been together for many years.
Even if Lu Tan said some words that may not be reasonable, Feng Yu could catch them.
This is too inconsistent.
Feng Yu must be fake.
So, Lu Tan tried it out.
Unexpectedly, when he finished asking that question, Feng Yu showed a bright smile.
"Would you like to sit somewhere?"
She did not respond to Lu Tan's question, but invited him to a nearby coffee shop.
The two ordered coffee, and Lu Tian took a sip. The taste was no different from the cheap coffee from a convenience store.
"Where to begin?"
Feng Yu crossed her fingers and put them in front of her body. The sun shone on the side of her face, and she could see the very thin down on her face.
"To be precise, I am actually Feng Yu, but she is different from the one you first met."
Feng Yu said something that Lu Tiao didn't quite understand, and then picked up the cup in his hand.
"For example, just like this drink, if it looks like coffee, smells like coffee, and tastes like coffee, and analyzed by various physical and chemical methods, it is coffee, then what is it?"
"coffee?"
Lu Tan saw Feng Yu take a sip of the black liquid in the cup, with some on her lips. She pursed her lips and smiled.
"It's the same with humans."
Feng Yu put down the cup.
"If I look like Feng Yu, talk and behave like Feng Yu, have all Feng Yu's memories, and react like her, then who am I?"
"But you are not Feng Yu."
Lu Tan was not interested in such philosophical issues. He did not want to discuss self-awareness or the debate on the Ship of Theseus. He only wanted to know what happened to the real Feng Yu and what the current Feng Yu was.
"I won't tell you the truth, because the more you know, the greater the possibility of you being contaminated. I can only tell you that I am a traveler."
Feng Yu chuckled.
"Traveler?"
Lu Tiao felt increasingly confused.
However, the information in Feng Yu's words felt very familiar to him.
The more you know, the greater the possibility of contamination.
This is the default rule in A Quiet Place.
Of course, this world is also part of the Quiet Place, so this rule naturally applies.
So, Feng Yu is also the chosen one?
When Lu Tan was confused, Feng Yu opened his mouth to answer his question.
"Yes, I travel to various corners of the world, and sometimes I become a part of the local people and experience their life. That's the kind of traveler I am."
Although her appearance had not changed at all, Lu Tan could feel a sense of indifference and vicissitudes in her.
The unique temperament when I first met Feng Yu must have come from this connotation.
"So the real Feng Yu..."
"The real Feng Yu is here."
Feng Yu smiled sweetly.
Gorgeous, seductive, deadly and dangerous.
Lu Tan felt creepy.
He concentrated and stared at Feng Yu.
The ability of [True Sight] will become stronger the more relevant knowledge Lu Jian knows, and he will be able to see more things.
Now, Lu Tan knows a lot about Feng Yu, so theoretically he can see more things.
However, when he did this, Feng Yu suddenly stretched out his hand.
She put her two fingers together and gently covered Lu Tan's eyes.
Although it is a very ordinary action, when Feng Yu performs it, it has an extraordinary meaning.
"I advise you not to read it. This is for your own good."
Feng Yu's voice was a little worried, like an old mother whose son didn't do well in math.
"Although curiosity is the biggest driving force for human progress, in fact, curiosity can easily lead to destruction. Not knowing everything will lead to understanding the truth. Sometimes ignorance is the greatest happiness."
She took back her hand and smiled.
"Besides, looking at a girl's secrets is not what a gentleman should do."
"I see."
Lu Tan gave up the idea of using [True Sight] to see Feng Yu.
Thinking about it carefully, he had been able to search for Feng Yu's current situation several times before, but failed due to various reasons.
In a sense, this is not subconscious self-protection.
After all, the class president who had barely spoken to him in college suddenly started talking to me happily, and often paid attention to his current situation, just like the girl who had a crush on him, so there must be something wrong.
Lu Tan might have realized this subconsciously, so he avoided meeting Feng Yu.
Since the other party said there was no need to look, Lu Tan obeyed and did not look.
After all, he is not an irrational lunatic. When a being who doesn't know what the essence is tries to persuade you not to do something with good intentions, it's best not to do it.
"Okay, I've made it clear. It's really time for me to go back. I hope you will still treat me as Feng Yu in the future, just like before. Well, of course, I can't be your mother."
Feng Yu drank the coffee in one gulp and stood up.
"Besides, I really like your movies and hope to see your works. Come on."
She waved her hand and left immediately.
Lu Tan watched Feng Yu leave and sat in silence for a moment before drinking the coffee in front of him.
