The days when I wanted to be a human being

"Is it because of the time?"

Facing Jiang Xiaoting's question, Zhou Ling thought about it and gave an ambiguous answer, "Maybe, time can really change a person."

"Then...wait a minute, if I have another drink, it won't cause you any trouble, right?"

Jiang Xiaoting thought the water Zhou Ling made was quite delicious. Seeing that Zhou Ling was not in a hurry to hear the follow-up, she planned to have another cup, but was worried about the price.

"No, here, give it to me."

"Your water is really good. No wonder you kept drinking it just now." Jiang Xiaoting noticed that Zhou Ling kept drinking while watching the video.

"Okay, we've finished drinking, it's time to move on."

"Really? I just praised you." Jiang Xiaoting rolled her eyes at Zhou Ling and said, "Okay, let's continue talking about what we just talked about."

"After some explorers received news from other worlds, they came to a horrifying conclusion."

“The history of our world is wrong.”

"According to the history of this parallel world, the Ming Dynasty perished as early as 1644."

When Zhou Ling heard this, she quickly stopped Jiang Xiaoting from continuing, "How did they come to this conclusion? Could it be that the history of the parallel world is wrong?"

“…This is a complicated matter to explain. In short, the reason why the Samsara Platform appeared is to prevent the Ming Dynasty from continuing. This is the same as the purpose of the previous Invader Alliance, which is to invade our world.”

"Then you explain...hmm!" Zhou Ling wanted to ask Jiang Xiaoting how she explained it, but Jiang Xiaoting covered her mouth with her hand.

"I didn't ask you to come back today to turn into a nagging person."

Jiang Xiaoting pinched Zhou Ling's smooth face twice and said in a low voice, "Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's get back to the painting."

"Old Zhou, if you really turned into a person from more than 200 years ago, do you think we would have met again if there had been no Impure World Reincarnation?"

Jiang Xiaoting was worried that Zhou Ling wouldn't be able to stay alive for such a long time.

But Zhou Ling knew her own situation. She was not actually worried about whether she would live long enough. Ever since she was able to control her life energy, she knew that her freedom was not in a place where there was nothing. If she wanted to live, no one could stop her.

So Zhou Ling said confidently: "You don't have to worry about me not living long, you should worry about yourself."

What Zhou Ling was afraid of was that the time she would have to face survival challenges would become longer and longer.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ling suddenly realized a problem, "Is the time of your survival mission the same as the time outside?"

"it's the same."

"That's it."

Zhou Ling realized the problem. The speed of time flow in her survival mission was the same as that in the Biochemical Ming Dynasty.

But the flow of time in the biochemical Ming Dynasty is faster than that in modern times.

This will cause her own time to quickly move closer to modern times, but once in modern times, her survival challenge will last longer, and her rest time in a month will naturally be relatively reduced.

This is also the reason why I did not appear in modern times. Perhaps during this period of time, I was facing survival challenges in some world.

Jiang Xiaoting also realized the problem that Zhou Ling realized, "So, now there are actually two Ah Lings? It's just that one is carrying out the challenge mission."

"... "

This also explains why Zhou Ling's parents died.

If Zhou Ling were still alive, she would definitely stop it, but hasn’t the situation changed?

So there is only one possibility, that is, Zhou Ling is still in the survival challenge.

Jiang Xiaoting suddenly felt a little sad. She didn't dare tell Zhou Ling the result, for she was afraid that Zhou Ling would not be able to accept it.

If Zhou Ling wants to change the fate of her parents, she will definitely try to live to the modern era, which means she will have to become stronger, but becoming stronger means that the survival challenge will become longer and longer.

In this case, when Zhou Ling's next survival challenge ends, it may be decades or even hundreds of years later.

By then, let alone saving my parents, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see these old friends.

Jiang Xiaoting really didn't have the confidence to keep up with Zhou Ling's pace.

Thinking of this, she felt a little discouraged. When she was about to pour a glass of water to drink, a green cup of water appeared in front of her.

She reached out for the cup with both hands and held the cup and Zhou Ling's hand in her hands.

This scared Zhou Ling. She tried to free her hands, but found that Jiang Xiaoting's hands were even stronger. She could only give up struggling and listen to what Jiang Xiaoting had to say.

"A Ling, do you know? In the past six months, I have tried to reincarnate you many times, but only this time it was successful."

Yes, Jiang Xiaoting discovered this result. During Zhou Ling's survival challenge, she was unable to perform any reincarnation on him.

This is also why she had decided that the opportunities to meet Zhou Ling would become fewer and fewer.

"You mean, I can only be resurrected by you when I'm not doing a survival challenge?"

Only then did Zhou Ling realize why he had never been resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation in the ten years in the One Piece world.

It turned out to be the case.

Do not!

Didn't she also suffer from the Impure World Reincarnation during the last period of the first survival challenge?

This doesn’t seem to explain the problem?

If there is any difference between the two, it is only proxy warfare.

"I'm afraid that the chances of meeting each other will become fewer and fewer in the future, A-Ling."

Jiang Xiaoting held Zhou Ling's hand and said, "How about we go to a movie together tonight?"

Jiang Xiaoting's sudden invitation made Zhou Ling a little overwhelmed for a while, after all, she was just talking about the Impure World Reincarnation.

"Uh..." Zhou Ling, who was about to refuse, hesitated when she saw Jiang Xiaoting's expression as if she would cry if she dared to refuse, and said, "Okay."

...

After watching the movie, the two walked on the street.

"Next..." Zhou Ling looked at Jiang Xiaoting who was holding her arm, wanting to ask her what her next plans were. However, before she could finish her words, Jiang Xiaoting burst out laughing.

"Mr. Zhou, do you want to get a room next?" Jiang Xiaoting looked up at Zhou Ling with a smile.

"No...no, that's what you said, not me." Zhou Ling suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After all, she had never dated anyone else in her two lifetimes.

Who knows what to do after watching the movie?

"Don't you want to?" Jiang Xiaoting stopped and asked Zhou Ling with a smile.

"Uh... forget it, Lao Jiang, you know my current situation. We are not suitable. Let's go back."

Zhou Ling said calmly.

There are some things that both parties know very well, so there is no need to guess.

Even though you like someone, if the conditions don't allow it, you should let go. This is good for both parties.

How could Jiang Xiaoting not understand these things? "Old Zhou, have you really figured it out?"

She didn't look at Zhou Ling again, but just turned her face towards the distance.

He said slowly: "Forget it, let's go back."

Seeing Jiang Xiaoting calm down, Zhou Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them had only walked a few steps when they stopped.

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Ling looked at Jiang Xiaoting who stopped in confusion.

"Tsk..." Jiang Xiaoting let go of Zhou Ling's hands and stood in front of Zhou Ling.

After looking him up and down for a few times, she opened her red lips and said, "I won't say much. Old Zhou, can't you dress yourself up properly?"

"I...you..." Zhou Ling didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Stop talking about me and come on! I'll pack some clothes for you."

Jiang Xiaoting said this, hugged Zhou Ling's arm again, and pulled her to the shopping mall on the side.

Zhou Ling could feel that Jiang Xiaoting hugged him tighter this time.

After Jiang Xiaoting bought a few sets of clothes for Zhou Ling, she returned to her home.
