Soul Patch

Chapter 305 Go Borrow the Stone

South side of Zhongjie Street, next to the cordon.

The streetlights cast long shadows of a couple...

In late September, the autumn rains in Beijing washed away the summer heat, making the air cool and pleasant.

At night, it gets cool.

Yang Shanshan rubbed her arm and moved closer to Wenjie.

Wenjie naturally put his arm around her shoulder and folded some of his coat over her: "Have I ever told you where I put my spirit stones?"

If everything started with the spirit stone, then finding the spirit stone might lead to a way to save Li Shiman.

This reminded Yang Shanshan, and her gaze suddenly sharpened as she pondered:
“I remember you said that the little stone was inconspicuous and you just threw it in the drawer.”

"When I remembered to go and look for it, I couldn't find it."

is it?

Oh, yes... Ah!

Looking at Yang Shanshan's sparkling eyes, I wondered if it was the light from the street lamps or the anticipation in her heart that had surfaced.

Wenjie smiled without saying a word, a smile that was hard to decipher.

Yang Shanshan gave him a push: "Say something! What if you log out of the system later? Then it will be too late for anything!"

"Wait... I just suddenly had a thought, but... I haven't really thought it through yet." Wenjie was a little helpless; he wasn't going to pretend to be profound.

He felt his idea was too far-fetched, and his thought process too peculiar...

"Say it!"

"I've been thinking, since we can't arbitrarily set timelines..." Wenjie said, his eyes narrowing as if he had made up his mind:
"Let's just go to M City in 2009 and borrow the spirit stones we have."

"you……"

Yang Shanshan looked shocked: "You have quite the imagination! Is this...is this okay?"

No.

In the system, if you encounter yourself from different timelines, a bug will occur.

It seems that Wenjie was unaware of this situation, or perhaps he knew beforehand but his memory is poor and he forgot.

Thinking of this, Yang Shanshan quickly waved her hand and blurted out:

"This won't work. When you encounter your 2009 self, the system will forcefully intervene."

Oh? She knows this too… Wenjie gave Yang Shanshan a strange look.

"I know that. I've encountered it once. The system displayed a warning screen and forcibly erased the memories from when the two timelines intersected."

Thinking of this, Wenjie recalled that splitting headache... His face turned pale, and he subconsciously rubbed his temples.

"What's wrong...are you feeling unwell?"

“It’s nothing… I just don’t want to run into myself in the system again. I’ve thought about that, so…” Wenjie’s expression changed as he looked at Yang Shanshan expectantly.

This time, Yang Shanshan finally understood.

After going through all this trouble, it turns out you wanted to persuade me to steal stones.

How old was Wenjie in 2009? Probably just a teenager!
"Wenjie! You want me to steal a child's stone?"

“You can’t say that…” Yang Shanshan’s gaze at Wenjie was fierce, making him want to laugh, but after all, he needed to persuade Yang Shanshan to help him, and it wouldn’t be wise to laugh at her at this time.

He paused, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.

"You...you still dare to smoke!"

The pretty girl opposite me roared, looking even fiercer.

Women really can't stand men smoking... Wenjie took a step away from her and turned his body slightly.

He put the cigarette in his mouth and took a drag. The taste of nicotine sparked his imagination. He said in a hoarse voice:
“That stone is mine, and I gave you permission to use it…” “…Wenjie!”

Although reluctant, Yang Shanshan followed Wenjie to the Capital Airport and the two booked the next available flight to M City.

After a long night of running around, the two of them were both hungry and exhausted. While waiting for their flight, Wenjie went to buy some food.

He bought hamburgers and lattes and came back to find Yang Shanshan staring blankly at her itinerary. He put the food in front of her and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"

Yang Shanshan paused slightly, slowly raised her head, looking somewhat bewildered:

"It's nothing, I just feel like M City is a bit familiar."

In an instant, many images flashed through Wenjie's mind. Those memories belonged only to him and could not be shared with anyone, not even Yang Shanshan, the person involved.

He was silent.

After a long while, he inexplicably said, "It's a pity that we live in a three-dimensional world, so we can't see things in multi-dimensional space."

We can see a sphere, but for a two-dimensional creature, it can only see a cross-section of the sphere; that is, it can only see a circle.

"What? Wenjie, what are you saying?"

"nothing……"

Yang Shanshan put away her itinerary and took a sip of coffee: "Does Multidimensional Space... have coffee?"

"What? Yang Shanshan, what are you saying?"

"nothing"

The two bickering lovers continued their journey, constantly arguing and showering each other with affection... Two hours later, the plane landed.

In 2009, the airport in M ​​City had not yet been renovated. They boarded the plane at the Capital Airport and immediately felt a huge difference upon disembarking.

The airport's internal space allocation is somewhat inhumane; they had to walk a long way around before finally reaching the taxi parking area.

The two stood waiting for a taxi in the morning light; Yang Shanshan's hair fluttered in the wind, and Wenjie was tall and handsome.

The taxi driver stopped the car and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Yang Shanshan got into the car, rubbing her ankle, and said, "My feet are sore from walking. The airport didn't even offer to arrange a shuttle bus. It's such a long distance, and I have to walk the whole way."

What the heck is a shuttle bus...? The driver looked puzzled: The two people looked outstanding, but they had an aura that was out of place here. Sure enough, when they started talking, they used words that were hard to understand.

We don't understand, and we don't dare to ask... The driver didn't dare to say anything either, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.

Wenjie curled his lip indifferently:
"Why bother arranging shuttle buses? There are only a handful of flights at the airport, you can count them on one hand."

Take the flight from M City to Beijing, for example. It only goes once a day. They fly in in the morning and back in the evening… How many people are on our flight? That kind of passenger volume doesn't even cover the labor, equipment, and maintenance costs of the shuttle bus.”

Yang Shanshan fell silent, nestled in Wenjie's arms like a docile kitten.

The kitten started meowing: "Wenjie, you're injured, and you didn't sleep well all night. Aren't you tired?"

It feels so good to have someone care about you... Wenjie felt a warmth in his heart.

"Tired!"

Wenjie grinned mischievously: "So, Shanshan, it's time for you to shine."

"..." Yang Shanshan was stunned.

Wenjie said to the driver in front, "Master, let's find a hotel nearby to stop."

"...What, you're not going to Yonghui Village?" Yang Shanshan asked.

"Go ahead, I'll go to the hotel to sleep, you go to Yonghui Village..."

He thought for a moment and then added, "Shanshan, you are so considerate. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that I am a patient."

Yang Shanshan scrutinized Wenjie closely, noticing the suppressed amusement in his eyes, and exclaimed, "You're teasing me! You're teasing me again!"

"I'm a patient..."
