Qin Siyang asked, "Wen Shu, you called me, is there something you want to say?"
Wen Shu's voice was still soft, ["I saw people on the forum say you were seriously injured, in danger of life, so I called to ask."]
The forum's news was always delayed.
When Wen Shu learned the news that Qin Siyang was in danger, he had already passed the hurdle and recovered.
However, Qin Siyang was still very satisfied with Wen Shu's concern.
"It's nothing, all nonsense spread by others, I'm almost fine now. In a few days, I can be as lively as the other day, going outside the safe zone to hunt gods."
["As lively as the other day? Didn't you say you've been staying in the safe zone all this time, and haven't gone out?"]
One sentence from Wen Shu made Qin Siyang's brain short-circuit for a moment.
Perhaps because he had just recovered from a serious injury, his brain had not returned to peak state.
He had actually forgotten the lie he told Wen Shu earlier.
"Ah… uh, slip of the tongue, I mean like last month, mm, last month."
A clumsy lie, naturally could not fool Wen Shu.
Wen Shu's voice was calm, ["Qin Siyang, have you been outside the safe zone all this time, adventuring and fighting?"]
"Not really, just occasionally going out once, to the edge outside the safe zone to gather some ordinary materials and then come back, nothing dangerous."
["But I saw people on the forum say you got an extremely rare Crimson Crystal, becoming the most powerful among the younger generation inside the safe zone. Such a rare material, can you get it just from the edge outside the safe zone?"]
"Oh, that was just luck. Actually, this kind of thing, Crimson Crystal, whether you can get it has nothing to do with where you go, mainly depends on whether you have the fate. Honestly, when I got the Crimson Crystal, there wasn't much danger…"
["Qin Siyang."]
Just as Qin Siyang was about to give a long explanation to show that he hadn't done anything dangerous, Wen Shu gently interrupted him.
Qin Siyang stopped, waiting for Wen Shu's next words.
["Qin Siyang, are you a person who likes adventure?"]
Wen Shu's question made Qin Siyang lower his brows and eyes.
'A person who likes adventure?'
Although every time he survived a disaster, he felt an indescribable sense of achievement and release.
But if not forced, step by step entering a bigger game and unable to withdraw, who would want to risk life, fighting and killing outside the safe zone?
Just like Lu Daoxing's self-description.
Behind him, it was as if there was a huge wheel, rolling forward.
If he was content with the status quo, stopping still, he could only be crushed into flesh paste by the wheel.
He had to keep moving forward.
Even if Qin Siyang's future was unknown, he had no more choices.
Since it was an unknown road, running along it was full of uncertainty.
Naturally, he could not avoid adventure.
He was not a prophet standing in the future looking back at the past, how could he know which decision was right, which decision was wrong?
Qin Siyang sighed, and said helplessly, "Wen Shu, I don't like adventure. I'm someone who is always running away from danger."
On the other end of the phone, Wen Shu was silent for a moment, then softly said, ["I understand. Qin Siyang, you've worked hard."]
Qin Siyang smiled, "It's fine."
["I called you, besides asking about your situation, there's another thing to tell you."]
"Mm, what is it?"
["You'd better not come back to Area 14121. There are many uninvited guests here, all waiting for you to come back."]
Qin Siyang's brows slightly furrowed, "Many?"
["Yes, very many."]
"Do you know these people's identities?"
["Not clearly. But I only know they came for you, and they don't know each other."]
After hearing this, Qin Siyang's heart became more complicated.
Although he hadn't seen them, they might be from the trading association, maybe the military, maybe the united government, or other universities.
But these people must be after the Crimson Crystal he had.
And, going to Area 14121 at the edge of the safe zone, they definitely planned to be unfavorable to him.
Otherwise, why not go to Area 9 to see him?
Since Wen Shu said there were uninvited guests near his home.
Then without a doubt, outside the safe zone there must also be a group of people with ill intent waiting for him to show up.
Besides that, Wen Shu providing him information made him feel even more shocked.
At the start, Wen Shu killed Zhou Yang because she foresaw Zhou Yang would awaken sequence ability.
Earlier from Zhang Yingrui's words, he learned Wen Shu alone took care of two sequence level four criminals.
Now she told him this group of people were all here for him.
Wen Shu's firm tone made Qin Siyang feel as if she had seen through these people's thoughts.
'Able to foresee the future, possess great strength, and also see through others' thoughts?'
Qin Siyang couldn't help twitching his mouth.
Wen Shu's sequence's degree of mystery far exceeded his imagination.
"Alright, I know, I will be doubly careful in the future. Thank you."
["You're welcome."]
"By the way, the college entrance exam is about to start, you should calm down and adjust yourself, there will be no problem. Don't give yourself too much pressure, and don't let these troublesome matters of mine distract you."
["I will, thank you."]
"You're welcome."
"Then that's it, goodbye."
———
"Mm, goodbye."
Wen Shu hung up the phone, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted.
After putting away the phone, she returned to a calm expression, shuttling back and forth in the dark alley.
After walking a few streets, she came under a streetlight at the corner, and saw a person wearing a hoodie and a cap.
"You're here."
"Mm."
The person in the hoodie pointed at the pitch-black alley in front, and asked, "Feng Shouben will pass by this street in a while, right?"
"Yes."
Wen Shu's expression showed some disgust, "This matter has nothing to do with me anymore, I'm leaving. As previously said, after helping you this time, don't contact me again."
Without waiting for the person in the hoodie to respond, she stepped away.
"Wait a moment."
"After the college entrance exam, you should be going to Jiulong Academy in Area 7 to study, right?"
"What do you want to ask?"
"Nothing, just to confirm, and by the way tell you some good news."
Wen Shu turned her head to look at him.
"Consider it a huge coincidence, the guidance of fate."
The person smiled at Wen Shu, "After a while, I will also go to Area 7."
Wen Shu's eyes suddenly widened, her expression extremely unkind.
"What exactly do you want? Must you make things into an open mess to be satisfied? You also agreed before, after I helped you, we would not contact each other."
"Why continue pestering?"
Seeing this, the person quickly smiled and explained, "Don't misunderstand, this matter really is a coincidence."
"You know, I have no interest in you, and like you I'm someone who fears trouble, so there's no need to pester you, right?"
Wen Shu said coldly, "No matter where you go, don't contact me."
"Don't worry, I'm a man of my word. Even if we meet on the street, I will pretend not to know you."
Wen Shu no longer responded.
She turned and went home.
The person in the hoodie watched Wen Shu leave, then turned his head to stare at that dark alley.
