ā€œThere is nothing ridiculous about trying to survive this kind of thing.ā€
ā€œEveryone has freedom to do everything. Just don’t think about controlling what others think of you.ā€
The classroom door opened. The moment Wu Qing saw the face that appeared in the doorway, what Su Zimo said in the subway appeared clearly in his mind.
This was very strange.
Obviously before that, Wu Qing had forgotten what Su Zimo had said to him. Even in his dreams, there were only distorted words. Wu Qing couldn’t remember what Su Zimo really said.
But when Wu Qing saw the face in front of him, he remembered.
He had also seen the black umbrella held by the ā€˜person’ in front of him. It was the black umbrella he wanted to steal from Su Zimo back then…
ā€œHow could it be you?ā€ Wu Qing felt confused, as if a game NPC suddenly appeared in an unrelated game.
ā€œPlease rest assured, I don’t have any malicious intentions.ā€ Su Zimo’s face showed his usual smile, the one he used to greet customers. What Su Zimo said to Wu Qing was the same as what he had said to Jiang Wei before.
Jiang Wei and Lin Xiao who stood behind Su Zimo couldn’t recover their senses.
They hadn’t figured out Ayu’s identity yet, so why would Wu Qing show a devilish expression as if he knew him?
ā€œIt’s been a long time since I saw you.ā€ Wu Qing suppressed the surprise deep within his heart, and a desire to show off came into his mind. He revealed a slightly sullen smile. ā€œWhen we met that time, you told me not to try and control what others think of me… but now I’ve done it.ā€
Su Zimo couldn’t remember what he said to Wu Qing, but he could understand what he said about controlling other people’s thought about him. It referred to him taking other people as slaves and firmly controlling them.
Su Zimo had no choice other than to shake his head helplessly.
ā€œDid you hear it while you were inside?ā€ Wu Qing turned gloomy at the expression on Su Zimo’s face. ā€œDo you still hate me like before? I still remember what you said. You said ā€˜there is nothing ridiculous about trying to survive this kind of thing,’ and I’m trying to survive now.ā€
ā€œWe are unacquainted, so naturally I will not judge you too harshly.ā€ <sup>1</sup> Su Zimo looked at Wu Qing, who was staring darkly at him, then at Lin Xiao, who had begun to fear him, and made a move that no one expected.
He actually walked past Wu Qing who was blocking the door and turned to leave.
Wu Qing just held a ghost tool in his hand and wanted to chase him when the flashlight revealed a ray of darkness rushing out of the black umbrella in Su Zimo’s hand. It turned into a pale and cold man with an identical black umbrella, aiming it toward him as if it were a long sword and stabbing him!
All of that happened in an instant. As Wu Qing blinked, the tip of the black umbrella held by the strange man suddenly rushed up to Wu Qing’s eyes. Then, when he couldn’t help but shut them, it turned into darkness again, and the cold wind forced Wu Qing and the others back several steps. After staggering a few times, he finally collapsed to the ground.
ā€œIf you have anything you want to know, you can come find me in An Yu Yi Yu.ā€
The darkness dissipated and Su Zimo’s voice reached them from afar. Wu Qing and the others couldn’t see the mysterious figure of the man near them. They had missed the chance to chase Su Zimo. They could only watch Su Zimo’s back disappear into the stairs at the corner not far away.
WU Qing immediately grabbed the flashlight and rushed over as fast as he could, but found that there was no sign of him in the staircase. The light shone down, but there was no trace of him!
It was as if the person had evaporated after entering the staircase.
