Roland nodded, took the warm water handed over by the waiter, took a sip, and said nothing.
"I don't hate you, including for occupying my body." Fang Xiaoling tore open the sugar packet and poured it into the coffee cup, "Because I know that you are actually just a panicked little ant."
The word "little ant" made Roland suddenly clenched his fists, "How much do you know?"
"Just like when you were in this cafe, you knew as many things as I didn't know." Fang Xiaoling slowly stirred the coffee in the cup, "What about you? Do you have any chips?"
Roland stared at her, drank most of the water, and swallowed with a "gudong" sound, "Your life is my bargaining chip."
"Okay, Sister Luo Lan, I'm afraid of you." Fang Xiaoling licked the milk foam on her lips with her tongue and continued, "I didn't intend to hide anything from you. We have a common enemy, don't we? If I tell you everything I know, maybe you can really defeat that tower with your strength."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Roland wanted to dig out Fang Xiaoling's heart now to see what secrets were hidden inside. "I won't beat around the bush with you. As far as I know so far, time travelers are divided into classes. Jane In other words, if you complete more tasks, you will be able to level up. As your level increases, you may get closer to the truth about the tower."
"I have a way to directly enter the inside of the tower!" After saying this, Fang Xiaoling was also a little surprised. This bluff was definitely improvised by herself.
"What method?" Roland, who is best at acting, did not see any flaws in Fang Xiaoling.
Fang Xiaoling suppressed her laughter and imitated Situ Yao expressionlessly, "The secret must not be leaked."
"Are you kidding me?" Roland crushed the water glass in her hand, and everyone in the cafe looked at her, "Believe it or not, I'm going to kill you now?!"
"Sorry everyone, we are rehearsing for an acting performance." Fang Xiaoling said in a low voice after dealing with the people around her, "Sister Luo Lan, you are so scary. How can I dare to tell you everything? How about this, let's compete. , see who completes the task first, if you win, I will tell you some information that will be helpful to you, how about it?"
Seeing that Roland didn't respond for a long time, Fang Xiaoling continued, "You have lived for hundreds of lives, are you still missing these few lives? If you win, I guarantee that the information I give you will be useful to you, otherwise you can take my life directly . But if you lose, you have to promise me something."
"What's going on?" Roland never imagined that one day she would be led by Fang Xiaoling.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Relaxing is definitely something you can do." Fang Xiaoling put the empty coffee cup on the table, tore open a bag of sugar, and poured it all into another cup of coffee, "What? Aren’t you very confident in your love skills?”
Roland pulled out the glass shards in his palm one by one, "I hope you can think about what information you can exchange for your life in advance."
"Of course." Fang Xiaoling stirred a cup of coffee, "To show my sincerity, I can tell you that this world is not an imaginary existence, but a parallel world similar to our real world, and Roland in this world and Fang Xiaoling, their traces were wiped away by the tower before we traveled through."
Fang Xiaoling was willing to tell some information in advance, which made Roland feel much better. She asked, "What kind of existence is the tower?"
"Existences of higher dimensions." Fang Xiaoling discovered that after people have more knowledge, their ability to make up lies will unknowingly improve. No wonder many lies that deceive the world are created by knowledgeable people. She continued, "I can now freely enter and exit the interior of the tower. That is where I have gained many abilities that I did not have originally. You have to know that when looking at lower latitudes from higher dimensions, everything is transparent. In other words, The answer to everything in this world can be found inside the tower."
"Can you enter and exit the tower freely?" Roland looked at her dubiously, "Then can you enter now and show me?"
Fang Xiaoling reacted and regretted that she had boasted too much, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Of course, but why should I go in now? There is no day there, only night, and it is full of dangers."
"Do whatever you want, as long as you can prove it to me." Roland did not doubt Fang Xiaoling originally, but the other party's words really went beyond the logic of the whole matter. If outsiders entered the tower again and again, would they not notice anything?
Fang Xiaoling knew that it was difficult to get off the tiger, so she said, "Well, you have lived for hundreds of lives, you must know a lot of things, right? Just ask a question."
Roland thought for a while and asked, "What part of the plant are potatoes?"
Fang Xiaoling closed her eyes, opened them after a few seconds and said, "Potatoes are tubers of plants. Although they grow in the soil, they are not roots, but stems."
"You already knew the answer to this question, right? Why so soon?"
"Is it wrong? I have already said that I can come and go as I please." Just when Fang Xiaoling thought she had escaped, Roland asked again, "What are the main ingredients of this cup of coffee?"
"Caffeine, tannins, fats, acidic fats, volatile fats, protein, sugar, fiber, minerals and foamed milk..."
Fang Xiaoling seemed to just blink her eyes before telling the answer that even the person who asked the question didn't know.
Roland took out his newly bought mobile phone and checked it again and again. After confirming it again and again, he had to believe everything Fang Xiaoling said.
"I'm really impressed by you today." Roland stared at the empty coffee cup. "Maybe it's because of your ability. You've obviously become more confident."
"Everything that prompts us to pay attention to others can help us better understand ourselves. This is what the psychologist Jung said." Fang Xiaoling pushed the cup of coffee that she had not yet drunk in front of Roland, "Many things Although it is hidden, it does not mean that it has disappeared, just like the sugar in the coffee... maybe until now, it still thinks that it is bitter?"
After saying that, Fang Xiaoling stood up and walked out the door, saying without looking back, "Try it, I ordered it for you."
Roland looked at the cappuccino in front of her, which had a "love" latte pattern on it. After confirming that Fang Xiaoling had gone away, she really lowered her head and took a sip. The long-lost sweetness made her savor it for a long time.
She leaned back on the chair and slowly closed her eyes. She saw a lively and cute little girl holding a lollipop, happily following behind her parents in the playground.
The sweetness in her taste buds did not dissipate for a long time, but seemed to become more and more mellow. She murmured, "Fang Xiaoling, are you telling me that if you always occupy other people's bodies, you will lose your true self, right?"
At this time, Fang Xiaoling was trotting along the sidewalk as if she was afraid of being overtaken by something. She looked back while running. She wanted to finish two cups of coffee before leaving, but suddenly she remembered that she didn't have a penny left on her. He quickly said a few words to take the opportunity to escape from the bill, "It's okay, Roland is so rich. In addition to the bank card he gave to Tian Hu, he must also have some with him..."
While she was talking to herself, she recalled in her mind that last night, Roland seemed to have asked Li Mengling as Li Mengli: Does the new outfit look good?
Thinking of this, Fang Xiaoling's steps seemed to become faster...
