The Spirit World

Chapter 576: Extending One’s Own Feelings to Others
"Your name... I seem to have heard it somewhere..."

Chang Yufeng looked in a daze at the extremely serious woman in front of him. Her name was Chen Lin.

"Huh? Really? But we just met..." Chen Lin's right cheek curled up, and her dimple appeared. She wanted to confirm whether the man in front of her, whom she had saved, was playing tricks on her.

Or maybe it’s an old-fashioned way of hooking up…

What? I've seen this girl before. She's trying to get close to me in just a few words and take the initiative. In that case, I have to doubt whether the "coincidence" of these two encounters was really a coincidence.

"Are you an accomplice of the thief?" Chen Lin took a small step forward and looked at the man again with interest: "You look well-mannered and tall... You have hands and feet, so you wouldn't steal..."

"Of course not." Chang Yufeng answered a little slowly. He waited until she finished speaking before speaking slowly. It seemed that he had not recovered from the shock just now: "I... indeed... to be honest, I have heard of this name, and not once or twice. Maybe, we have met somewhere..."

Chang Yufeng was quite honest, but Chen Lin didn't believe a word he said. Instead, she stayed further away from Chang Yufeng to prevent this liar from getting angry.

"Impossible..." She put her hand on the bow and pointed with her finger. Her alertness suddenly increased, which made Chang Yufeng a little confused.

It only took three seconds from surprise to confusion.

She wasn't that hostile, but she seemed hard to approach.

If women have two faces, then this moment shows it vividly.

This woman also began to become unusual, because the kindness she had at the beginning was now a different kind of kindness. Her wariness varied from person to person.

"You can't possibly know me. Do you know where I came from? You just know me?" Chen Lin placed her slender index finger lightly on the plain wooden bow, as if as long as Chang Yufeng had any other intentions, she could draw the bow and kill him.

A small fly tried to fly onto Chen Lin's arm, but she quickly spotted it and slowly patted the air around it to get the dirty creature to leave.

"Very far?" Chang Yufeng opened his arms and completely relaxed his guard: "If that's the case, we may not have seen it."

He slowly stepped back a few steps, and seeing her hostility, Chang Yufeng had no choice but to give in.

In fact, facing unknown risks, being sufficiently cautious is completely in line with Chang Yufeng's expectations of the woman's behavior, because this woman must be extraordinary.

She is alone and a girl. Even if she doesn't travel around the world, she doesn't run around in the spirit world like a naive person.

Because in the spiritual world there are ferocious beasts, demons, monsters, shadow hunters, Hatulin, and even other strange and unknown groups that are out to kill for money.

Of course there are many good people, but it is definitely unrealistic to say that everyone you meet is a bad person or a good person. Chang Yufeng thinks it is normal that she can be more careful and guard against herself. This is a very wise move.

Chang Yufeng certainly had no ill intentions, but it was understandable if he was on guard. It was a sign of great wisdom to be on guard when wandering around the world alone.

Many people do not have this great wisdom.

"Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others." She looked at Chang Yufeng seriously and said unceremoniously: "Please forgive me. I saved your life. I said I don't need your repayment. You'd better stop pestering me. It doesn't matter whether I know you or not. I don't know you, and you can't know me. Leave here now."

"Can we make things clear?" Chang Yufeng saw that she was so determined. Even though he had no intention of hurting her at all, she was still so vigilant.

Her outfit, skirt, school bag, ballpoint pen, bow, and the golden sculpture of the "clown" that she said could bring good luck.

All of these can prove that she comes from a different world.

There is a high possibility that that world might be the same world as where I come from.

If there is any word that can represent the same attribute of the two of them, it can only be described as "time traveler".

There was a precedent of executing time travelers in the spirit world, he had heard about it from his master, Old Tom. But that was more than ten years ago.

"You can just say it there, but don't even think about getting close to me again." When she said this, she had already taken the bow in front of her. She didn't draw the bow, but it looked like she was ready to go. Her serious expression was extremely sonorous and powerful.

"I have no reason to lie to you. I do remember a name called Chen Lin. To be honest, she is somewhat similar to you. However, if it is not you, I will not dwell on it... My benefactor, you do not need to panic. I do not want to gain anything from you. I also have no possibility of hurting you. I do not know magic, nor do I have any knives. I only have a few gold coins on me as payment for my work in the morning."

Chang Yufeng rummaged through his pockets and found nothing in them. He left Chen Lin to choose something. Chen Lin looked at him seriously without saying anything, but he kept the bow in his hand.

"I can guarantee with my personality that I came here to confirm that you are different from the woman with the same name in my memory. If you are the one who is sincere to me, I will reminisce with you. If not, I will repay you sincerely."

He told everything in detail, saying that sometimes it was better to tell a little lie, because now his words were less reliable than some ordinary reasons.

He also did not explain why there was Chen Lin in his memory... or someone similar to Chen Lin.

Then, the answer he got made it even more difficult for him to communicate normally.

Chen Lin frowned and thought, and seeing that he really had no hostility, he did not do anything else. She stood there with the bow in her hand. When she was far away, she looked at Chang Yufeng levelly, looking up, as if rolling her eyes and wondering: "I have told you many times... I don't need your repayment. It's just a small favor. I hope you will leave. If you have no ill intentions, that's it."

Another fly, not sure if it was the same fly as before, was buzzing around Chen Lin, making her subconsciously look at the source of the sound. She then became confused and a little afraid of the fly sound because if the fly sound stopped, it didn't necessarily mean that the fly had flown away. It could also have stopped somewhere, such as on her body. Just thinking about it made her feel a little scared, and she even shuddered at an inappropriate time.

Then, she really put the bow behind her back. The bow was floating, and it was hard to tell how long it would take her to pick it up again. It was estimated that she could shoot and kill with just a casual move. It was absolutely powerful.

"You said I look like someone, but it's actually impossible, because I came here from far, far, far away. I don't know you at all. I have had my name since I was a child, it's just two characters. It's not uncommon to have the same name and gender as someone else. If you are interested in my appearance and name, and if it overlaps with the person in your memory, I'm really sorry. I'm sorry to disappoint you. I am me, she is her, and I don't know you."

The streets of Xiaohu Street exuded an unpleasant smell, and the odor made people feel very uncomfortable. In fact, she had been moving in the opposite direction of Chang Yufeng from the beginning, away from Chang Yufeng. Chang Yufeng was standing outside Xiaohu Street, and when he smelled the odor, she was naturally a little impatient. She did not urge Chang Yufeng to leave, but hoped that Chang Yufeng could have self-awareness and stop pestering her.

I saved her, and I am troubled by this. I really shouldn't treat my benefactor like this. "Well..." Chang Yufeng put down his arms and bowed.

"I'm sorry to bother you..." Chang Yufeng slowly turned around and said goodbye to her, as if he could only say goodbye to her at this moment.

If they just look alike, then there's nothing to say.

Who should he trace back to for the source of his memory... He didn't know. Maybe he had forgotten a lot of things, and that was his own problem. How could he blame others for being responsible for his already vague memories?
He shook his head and sighed, then turned to face her again and gave her a very bitter smile: "Miss Chen, I wish you good luck. My benefactor."

As he spoke, he bowed again.

Then he really started to leave.

She nodded.

"Well, thank you very much."

She watched Chang Yufeng leave, feeling somewhat relieved: "Fortunately, he was sensible. I was scared to death. Without Bai Cai, I would have been in trouble if I had really met some bad guys."

She was in a hurry to leave Xiaohu Street. The sour and bitter smell made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She strode forward and was heard by Chang Yufeng. Chang Yufeng thought she was going to say something to him, so she turned around again, as if expecting something. He looked at Chen Lin who was running forward with big strides and gave her a puzzled look.

"Is there anything wrong, benefactor?" Chang Yufeng turned his head to look at her. She immediately stopped and walked leisurely, without any of the vulgarity of hurrying to avoid the stench just now.

"No, I... am just... waiting for someone... My Bai Cai went inside to catch someone. I'll wait for him to come out."

"Oh~" Chang Yufeng turned around again, but there was no movement this time. He really couldn't find any reason to stay...

Ah... After so much effort, I thought I had found some clues to my memory, but the "clues" ruthlessly drove me away... There will be no connection anymore...

He was unwilling to accept it. The Chen Lin in his memory was actually not very similar. Apart from the appearance, personality, or other decorations, the speaking style was completely different... two people.

Maybe they were siblings? Should I ask my benefactor if he had any sisters? Forget it. If I told him, it would probably make him even more annoying. If I left like this, I would be openly trying to communicate with her further, not to mention secretly following her.

He turned around.

He shouted excitedly: "My benefactor, do you want me to catch the thief? I am very familiar with this area... I can..."

“No need~” She waved to Chang Yufeng who turned around and told him to go back: “My Baicai is very strong... I just found someone at a fixed location... It’s very easy... I appreciate your kindness... Go ahead, go ahead.”

She slowly touched her little nose and pinched it lightly, as if she smelled something bad again.

The smell coming from Xiaohu Street is really bad, because it is a place where thieves gather and it is a mixed crowd. I have never seen any thief who would be kind enough to clean up... We should be thankful that they don't litter.

Although it is impossible for them not to litter. There is also a very important problem... which is also a problem that everyone needs to face...

Xiaohu Street is an almost abandoned area, which means that the basic household facilities are not maintained at all. The dim traces of time are a small matter. There are still people living there who don't know how to clean up. Even if you walk there during the day, it is common to step on something disgusting.

Of course, it’s best not to think about this kind of thing. After all, there is nothing worth describing.

Chen Lin felt a little distressed, and Chang Yufeng finally understood why she was standing at the intersection of Xiaohu Street waiting...

Even if it was me, apart from the fact that there was no reason for me to come to Xiaohu Street, I would basically never walk into Xiaohu Street in my lifetime...

He definitely wants to stay now, but there is really no reason to stay.

He was not a pervert. Not to mention that his well-educated instinct would not let him do anything that the other person was unwilling to do. Even given how important this woman was now, he would not bother or would not allow him to do anything that she disliked.

She let herself go...that was gone...

I won't go crazy just because I don't know who the person in my memory is. I won't follow anyone who looks like him, making things difficult for him and bringing disgrace upon myself.

The main reason was that the education he received made it almost impossible for him to do these things. If his sister Erica met a bad guy like the one he just thought of, that is, the villain who raised snakes, he would definitely be furious and make that guy pay for it. He is no longer Fran's student. He has only one identity, that is, Erica's brother. If his sister met someone who kept pestering her, made her disgusted, or even wanted to hurt her, as a member of society, as an adult, it is impossible for him not to have a conflict with that villain who raised snakes.

If you put yourself in her shoes, isn't this girl named Chen Lin in the same situation as my sister just thought of? How could I possibly do that?
But in fact, I was a little unwilling. I could only accept it. Even if I didn't know Chen Lin, I didn't know Chen Lin, he was still alive...

There is no big problem in itself. I can only say that I feel helpless now that clues are not easy to find.

He originally wanted to go to the All-Spirit World to practice... Wasn't he held back by his medical expenses? Now he has only paid back less than two thousand. He has worked three jobs every day for three months, getting up early and going to bed late, but he still needs to pay back three thousand to the Caroline family... Traveling around the world will take at least another four or five months. If you need to consider the travel expenses, it may be delayed even longer. In four or five months, Erica has also entered the end of the preliminary water element research. If he wants to continue the research, he needs to pay for the equipment, the theoretical results of others, and the school fees. Not to mention the pressure of life, even the theoretical possibility of traveling is almost impossible.

However, thinking about it this way, he felt a little depressed...

However, being honest is not a good idea... Because just as he left, the cat named Baicai fell dizzy from the sky of Xiaohu Street at Chen Lin's feet.

It felt dizzy and only uttered one shocking statement before fainting heroically.

It said dizzily.

"It's... too... too smelly~"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
