"Have you ever thought about how you will die?" Luo Binhan asked.
Zhou Yu, who was sitting opposite him, put down his coffee cup and looked over in a daze, obviously finding this topic strange.
Luo Binhan felt the same way himself. He rarely brought up such topics, but he still continued: "Didn't you go to the hospital for internship recently? Have you seen a lot of scenes of life and death? Don't you have no feelings?"
Zhou Yu shook his head. His expression was always the same, neither happy nor worried, but very serious. Luo Binhan had seen photos of his father when he was young and felt that they looked very similar, except for their expressions.
"There is no need to think about this kind of thing, people will always die." Zhou Yu said.
It seemed both open-minded and ruthless, which made Luo Binhan secretly surprised. He always thought that Zhou Yu was a sentimental person, but when it came to death, he seemed particularly calm.
It was a kind of calm that had no emotion and took death for granted. Luo Binhan regards this as an occupational disease of doctors.
"Your life is too boring." Luo Binhan sucked the juice and said, "Continue to live like this until you are eighty years old? And then wait to be buried? Alas, it is not good for people to live too long. They will become old and sick. , and no one wants to care about you, it’s so boring. It’s better to live a healthy life comfortably, and then die suddenly and painlessly... By the way, aren’t you a medical student? You should know the best way to euthanasia ?”
"Yes, but I won't tell you. If you are afraid of getting sick in old age, you should pay more attention to your health and stop staying up late to watch movies."
Zhou Yu picked up the coffee again and turned his attention to the magazine in front of him. It was an academic journal that Luo Binhan was not interested in at all. The paper was full of foreign languages and statistical curves, and there was not even a color illustration.
Luo Binhan took a spoonful of cream soup out of boredom and turned to look out the window. The patter of rain wet the glass, and the city seemed distant and unfamiliar in the mist.
"...Eh?" He asked in confusion, "Zhou Yu, where are we?"
“Migenzhu University Western Restaurant.”
Luo Binhan was stunned for a moment. He graduated from Lihae University of Commerce with a second-rate undergraduate degree. Zhou Yu studied at Lihai University School of Medicine, a nationally renowned clinical medicine major.
"Migenzhu University...is there such a school in our city?"
Zhou Yu suddenly put down the magazine and smiled slightly at him.
"It's not a famous school. It's normal if you don't remember."
"Then why are we coming here to eat?"
"Because the location is suitable. It's more convenient for both of us to come here."
Zhou Yu looked at him calmly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Isn't it the place you chose?"
Luo Binhan didn't remember it at all. He scratched his head in confusion.
"It's crazy... Then why did we go out to eat? Do you still remember?"
"Didn't you say that you want to exchange information about each other's current situation?" Zhou Yu answered while flipping through the magazine.
"Oh, how are you doing?"
"I am OK, you?"
"I……"
Luo Binhan's thoughts went blank. He always felt as if he was experiencing something extraordinary.
"...Zhou Yu, you may not believe it, but I seem to remember that I am flying."
Zhou Yu put down the magazine and looked at him in surprise. Just when Luo Binhan wanted to emphasize that there was nothing wrong with his mind, he heard the other party say: "You are indeed flying."
"……What?"
Zhou Yu stood up from his seat and opened the window next to him.
"Luo Binhan, look outside."
Luo Binhan stuck his head out of the window. He found that there was an endless sea of fire downstairs, and the billowing flames were rolling incessantly. The entire restaurant was flying at high speed on this sea of fire.
"——What the hell is this!"
he screamed in disbelief. Immediately afterwards, a huge and terrifying silver-white tentacle stretched out from the sea of fire, lashing fiercely at the restaurant window. The wall disintegrated in an instant, knocking their dining table away along with the people and seats.
Zhou Yu drank the last sip of coffee in the air and nodded to him calmly: "It seems that the time is up, so I'll leave first. The nuts for feeding the parrots are almost running out, and I want to buy some more before the supermarket closes."
After saying that, he picked up the long-handled black umbrella at his feet, turned around and jumped into the endless sea of fire.
"Zhou Yuahhhhhhhhhh-!"
Luo Binhan woke up screaming. He saw a face full of sunshine looking at him with joy.
"Mr. Luo, you finally woke up!" the owner of that face said.
Luo Binhan was still a little confused. He grabbed the other person's hand and said, "...Zhou Yu jumped down."
"Dance your mother." The voice behind him said, "Get up quickly, don't waste your time."
This voice brought Luo Binhan quickly back to reality. He turned around and saw Jing Huang flipping through "Starlight Realm".
Luo Binhan rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bench. The sea of fire, the airship, Abana, the flying hound... everything that happened before he fell into coma came back to his mind.
"Get up quickly." Jing Huang kicked the back of the seat impatiently, "How far have you traveled and you still have Zhou Yu and Zhou Yu? Are you his child or his biological mother?"
Luo Binhan waved his hand nonchalantly: "You know nothing, you can lower your level in one day."
He found himself sitting in the rotunda of the Silence. Other members of the Silence were also present, seemingly waiting for something.
"...How long have I slept?"
"It's been almost twenty hours based on the time here, Mr. Luo." Momolo replied.
Luo Binhan really didn't expect that he could sleep so well. He drowsily took the water glass from Momolo and took a few sips before remembering the reason why he lost consciousness.
He was so frightened that he grabbed Jing Huang's hair: "The tsunami knocked us away!"
"...You're not fucking awake yet, are you?"
"Am I still looking back on the past?" Luo Binhan said, "Where are we now?"
"shore."
"What?"
Jing Huang knocked his hand off and walked out of the rotunda. Luo Binhan followed him to the deck in confusion.
He saw a white beach. The color was clean and beautiful, giving off a soft glow under the starry sky. The waves of fire rose and fell, licking the beach, but never leaving any trace of burning.
"White Beach?"
Jing Huang glanced at him and said nothing. After Luo Binhan climbed down the rope ladder, he discovered that the bottom of his feet was not gravel, but endless shells. He tried to pick one up, but it was so heavy that he could hardly lift it.
At this time Momolo also disembarked. After seeing Luo Binhan's actions, he said, "Mr. Luo, it's better not to touch these remains. If there are memories left on them, it will easily give you nightmares."
Luo Binhan quickly threw away the coin in his hand. "What the hell is this?"
"It's the souls eaten by other second original species." Jing Huang said coldly.
"The second original species?"
"That dragon is one of the second original species that is rarely easy to talk to. Dreams can also be passed through as ordinary stars. But after all, it comes from the same source as other hosts, and the dream paths are connected. The border areas are naturally full of leftovers. .”
Luo Binhan still didn't understand much, but Jing Huang seemed unwilling to continue explaining.
Yaleriga took out the Sea Demon Bottle again. She uncorked the bottle, and a white mist from the bottle enveloped the Silence, and the entire ship disappeared. The white mist returns to the bottle and turns into a lifelike ship model.
They headed deeper into the shell beach. Luo Binhan still didn't know where they were going, until a spider appeared in front of him.
It is as white as a shell and is larger than a giant elephant. It lies quietly on the shell and takes a nap. As they approached, the eight black eyes simultaneously reflected Jing Huang's figure.
"Destination?" It trembled its mouthparts and asked in a strange voice that was neither male nor female.
"Mencheng." Jing Huang said. He threw over a beautiful white-reddish crystal, which was a trophy obtained from the Fishbone.
The giant spider stretched out a sharp, knife-like foot and tapped the crystal three times. The crystal began to tremble, and under Luo Binhan's gaze, it grew eight thin legs of the crystal, creeping into the gaps between the shell piles.
The huge spider monster seemed satisfied. It slowly retreated, revealing a stone well hidden beneath it. Then it pushed a shell filled with coins in front of everyone.
Jing Huang picked up a coin from the shell, threw it into the well, and then called Luo Binhan forward.
Luo Binhan leaned over and looked. He found that the water in the well was unusually clear, and there was a strange thing floating in it.
"……shuttle?"
"Look carefully." Jing Huang said.
Luo Binhan looked down with eyes wide open. He found that the spindle-shaped objects had extremely exquisite details - buildings, streets, and windows. It was a city that was completely symmetrical from top to bottom.
"...Shuttle City?"
"The capital of thousands of households," Jing Huang said, "a city of gates."
After saying that, he kicked Luo Binhan into the well.
