Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 1 (46)
This Friday is Xia Lin’s last day as an intern in neurosurgery.
According to the previous agreement, after get off work, Xia Lin took the initiative to invite his trainee mentor Ke Mei to have dinner with him.
Ke Mei said: “I can choose the location, okay?”1
Xia Lin shrugged: “It’s up to you.” Anyway, he wasn’t short of money.1
But he didn’t expect that Ke Mei would choose the location to fly at midnight.
When Ke Mei drove into the underground garage of Midnight Flight, Xia Lin silently held his forehead and made an appointment with his mentor in a gay bar. Can this teacher-student relationship continue to be pure?2
Ke Mei reversed the car and entered the garage. Seeing the troubled look on Xia Lin’s face, she smiled and said, “What are you afraid of? I won’t eat you. Get out of the car.”1
Xia Lin had no choice but to follow Ke Mei out of the car and into the bar.
It can be seen that Ke Mei is very familiar with this place. As soon as he entered the door, the waiter greeted him with a smile: “Brother Mei, do you have the same seat?”
”Old seat.” Ke Mei walked straight to a remote corner and asked, “Where is your boss?”
”The boss is taking a nap in the lounge.”
”It’s already time to get off work in the afternoon, and he’s still taking a nap?”
”Well…” The waiter didn’t dare to speak ill of the boss, so he could only smile awkwardly.3
Ke Mei led Xia Lin to sit down together, ordered some drinks and meals, and then said to Xia Lin, “You eat first, I’ll go to the bathroom.”
Xia Lin nodded, and Ke Mei stood up and left.
He walked into the corner leading to the bathroom, avoided Xia Lin’s sight, then suddenly turned in the other direction, opened the door to the lounge and walked in.
The room was dark, and a man was lying on the sofa fully clothed. He was awakened by the sound of pushing the door, yawned and sat up reluctantly.
”Huaicun, why are you still sleeping?” Ke Mei sat down next to the sofa and looked at the other party jokingly.6
”Jet lagged.” The man named Song Huaishen yawned again and answered inarticulately.
”Wearing it again?”12
”Um.”
”…Thank you for your hard work.” Ke Mei patted his shoulder sympathetically, then stood up and opened the blinds with a snap, and Xia Lin’s location was reflected on the outside glass.
Ke Mei said: “I brought someone here and wanted you to take a look.”
Song Huaicai glanced at Xia Lin in the picture, then turned to Ke Mei in confusion: “You are a very ordinary person, what’s wrong?”
”It does look very ordinary,” Ke Mei said, “I didn’t pay much attention to him at first, but then I found… he could actually see me.”15
Song Huaishen was startled: “When?”
”Last time, when I came out from here.”
Song Huaishen narrowed his eyes and recalled: “The last time you went out from here… was the time you just came back from the door?”6
”Yes. Every time I pass through that door, the hidden state will last for half an hour. Logically speaking, no one here except you can see me in the hidden state. But that time, he discovered me as soon as I walked out.”3
The expression on Song Huaishen’s face became solemn. He stood up and walked to the blinds. He drew a talisman in front of his eyebrows with two fingers of his right hand. He looked at Xia Lin again, and his eyes gradually shimmered.1
After a moment, he looked surprised and murmured: “It turns out it’s him…”
”who?”
”The soul that was sucked into the vortex of time and space that night.”1
Ke Mei was startled, then leaned forward: “Are you sure?”
”I saw two overlapping souls in him. One has a strong obsession and completely controls the initiative of the body; the other has a weak will and is on the verge of dissipation. But -” Song Huaisun paused, “The souls overlap. There are many reasons, and whether he is or not needs further verification.”
”How to verify?”
Song Huaicai raised her wrist and looked at the time: “The third spatial displacement is coming soon.”4
Ke Mei looked solemn, closed her mouth and stopped talking.
The two of them stared at Xia Lin in the picture with all their concentration, as if waiting for what was about to happen.6
.
Xia Lin waited on his seat for a long time, but Ke Mei didn’t come back for a long time, thinking that Ke Mei had a stomachache? Or forgot to bring toilet paper? Do you want to give me a call and take care of me?
As soon as he picked up the phone, he suddenly felt the ground shaking rapidly.1
earthquake? He quickly grabbed the edge of the table, planning to find a safe place to hide if it shook again.
But the second shaking never happened. He turned around and looked around, and found that the people in the bar were drinking and chatting. They all looked relaxed and natural, as if no one had noticed anything strange that had happened before.
Xia Lin maintained a calm expression on his face, but there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
This is not the first time he has encountered this situation since his rebirth.
The geographical location of City B is not an earthquake-prone area, so the locals have no awareness of earthquake prevention at all.
Xia Lin remembered that the first time was late one night after the college entrance examination. Everyone was sleeping soundly at that time. He felt the ground shaking in a daze and was immediately woken up. However, nothing strange happened again. The next day, he asked Xia Liang and Zhou Shuo, but they had no idea about this.
The second time happened in the second semester of his sophomore year. He was taking notes in the classroom. Suddenly, the table shook violently, causing him to draw the sky with one stroke. He looked up in shock, only to find that the teachers and students in the class were still the same, without any awareness. What just happened.
This was the third time. He clearly saw the wine glass on the table shaking and almost spilled the wine, but the people around him were indifferent. This forced him to fall into a panic of self-doubt. Could it be that these unusual times? Are these conditions just an illusion in his subconscious?
.
”That’s right, it’s him.” Song Huaishen said slowly in the lounge, “People in this plane cannot sense such a slight space vibration, but he can obviously sense it. This shows that his existence itself is what caused this. The source of several spatial displacements. And your doubts have been answered – because he, like us, is not a native of this time and space, so your invisible state will not work on him.”1
Ke Mei laughed: “We have been looking for it for so long, but we didn’t expect to find it like this.”
”Does he know his situation?”
”Maybe… you haven’t realized it too deeply, right?” Ke Mei said uncertainly, “Do you need me to check on him?”
”Let’s hold our ground for now,” Song Huaisun sighed, “The fewer people involved, the better.”
”Don’t worry…”
Song Huaishen shook his head: “Although he was reborn against time, for now, his influence on the world is still relatively small. Otherwise, there would not be only three spatial displacements in five years. Observe for a while Well, if he and those whose fates he influenced did not have a big impact on the world, then the derailed space-time gears would still return to their place bit by bit – if they could just let it happen naturally without intervention. Getting back on track is the ideal outcome.”1
Ke Mei nodded, and suddenly remembered something, and said: “There were two souls that were sucked into the space-time vortex at that time. Now one has been found, and the other one…”5
”I guess that the other one has not yet appeared, otherwise the frequency of spatial displacement will be accelerated and chaotic.” Song Huaishen said thoughtfully, “We will wait and see what happens. If the situation worsens, it will not be too late for us to activate the emergency plan.”
