While Toba monitored Wei's resistance struggle, his accomplice was not idle in the house. In fact, Wei was just the one Toba knew best, but there were far more people who actually trusted the doctor. Some people will be used more than a dozen times, while those who are more difficult to inspire and guide will only be used three or four times. If a person has many very close friends, Ji Xun will visit less frequently, making progress more slowly. Reinvented people sometimes show a subconscious tendency to escape by choosing hobbies that have nothing to do with their previous self, decorating their house, and making friends they never knew before.
"You're a killer," Toba said after midnight. It couldn't even remember how many times it had repeated the same words. In the days when it was human, few even among the immortals were willing to argue with it. It has excellent eloquence and is proficient in various ways of irritating people. But it has nothing new to do with its new friends who have brought it out of the house of disaster. The fraudster showed a complete indifference to self-respect or honor.
"You rehearsed a new show before this Q&A." Ji Xun said, "What is that?"
"That's your dear brother and dear Wei." Toba replied, "While you are looking for new goals - by the way, I think this is completely useless, we should focus on ethics. Home - the patient in our house goes out to find your little friend every day. As you said, he never hurts innocent people, he just beats the kid hard when he sees him. "
"You already said that."
"I'm urging you to take action." Toba said, "This does not mean that I agree with your current plan, but if you beat that short-lived ghost hard every time you gain the trust of someone, even if you can Make it clear that you are not alone, and don't expect to have any good reputation anymore. The person who tames a mad cow will also get the reputation of a mad cow. If our luck is worse, he may also attract the Ethical Family."
"He knows what's appropriate." Ji Xun said calmly.
"Then you just wait and see today's duel." Toba warned sarcastically, "Just like the play I performed for you tonight. They are going to attend the anniversary in the square. It's interesting enough. This city also has a festival about the Queen..."
"A dinner party given by Queen Jade." Ji Xun corrected, "I found that the Ethics House has a preference for collective festivals."
"That's what they do, isn't it?" Toba said. "Now let's talk about that. And about the duel. I don't know exactly why on this damn anniversary. Is there a dueling event? I guess since your brave Werther is deliberately challenging our little mental patient, it has to be a bit of a special show, right? What are his chances of winning?"
So Ji Xun opened the drawer and took out a three-fold emerald green notice. This is a very delicate paper, with a feel between silk cloth and leather. A pattern of sixteen hexagons is printed on the first page, symbolizing the computing center of Room Zero, and a series of small and curved symbols on the last page, representing the House of Ethics.
Toba grabbed the end that represented the center of calculation with his hand. Shake the entire notice toward the ground. So the three stacks of paper continued to unfold, and the end representing the House of Ethics rolled toward the ground. Finally, it received an introduction that was longer than it was tall, written in the language of its native land.
It made a short noise in disgust, but the fact about the duel aroused its curiosity, so it still had the patience to look at the paper. About Queen Jade, a great cosmic monarch who has existed in countless potential histories. She was born from Chaos and raised by a dead man. Because the queen loves sweets, she holds a grand celebration in the royal capital every fifty central years, allowing everyone to come and eat and drink for free.
"Sometimes I wonder if these things are real," Toba commented while watching. "These are nonsense. Every time we encounter an anniversary, I ask you if you know who the person we are commemorating is. You’re telling me things I’ve never heard of.”
"That's very reasonable." Ji Xun replied, "I can only describe a period of history."
"But that's history." Tuba said, still turning over the paper, "I know what you and the Ageless Man believe, but I don't believe in this. These people who may or may not exist, if you can't sense them, then They just don't exist. There's only one thing that's true, and that's right now, right now, in this city, and outside the city, where you came from."
"Maybe." Ji Xun said. His tone gave away no opinion.
Toba continued to read the notice. It read some introductions about the celebration and quickly skipped them because it was not interested in many of them. It stopped when it found the fragment related to the duel.
"Ha," it said, "it's clear now. This must have been planned by Wei Bi. I think it was Wei Bi's idea."
"You can go and take a look." Ji Xun said, "He knows very well where you have been these past few days, and he won't be surprised if you show up at the duel - however, I suggest not to get too close. Especially when it’s his turn to step up to the table.”
The first half of this proposal suited Tubal's wishes. It does intend to see how this ends. But it was in no hurry to get to Wei's house.
"Who do you think will win?" it asked.
"This will not affect our work," Ji Xun said lightly, "I can put Wei on hold for a while."
"Do you think the one in our room will win?" Toba judged, "Even in such a ridiculous game. Isn't Wei the one with the greater advantage?"
"Your attention makes me feel strange. However, in fact, the duel rules are not that favorable to Wei. In my opinion, if Xuan Hong wants to win, it will be very difficult for him to win in any type of competition. "
"But it's not impossible." Toba said, "I've seen Wei jumping around with his two regular playmates, and the one in our house, I saw that he couldn't speak more than three sentences to outsiders at a time."
"Do you want Wei to win?" Ji Xun asked, "What attracts you to be so interested in this matter? Just because it is ridiculous enough?"
Toba thought. The body under the blouse swayed slightly.
"I can't tell," it admitted, "but now I have a vague feeling. Yes, I know it's true. Something is going to happen, maybe at the Memorial Day game. Can you Remember the guy in our room who said things were going to change? He said that after he went to the Computing Center and after that he started looking for Wei. No, I don't think it's unrelated. Now, when I think about that duel At that moment, I felt electricity flowing through my body. The last time I felt this way, that damn woman caught me copying their base information half a day later."
"As far as I know, there is no part of your anatomy that can read waves."
"I don't care what your theory is. I know it. I know it from experience."
Ji Xun thoughtfully took back the notice and put it back into three stacks of paper.
"So, you think something bad is going to happen to us," he said. "Given that the last time you felt that way, it was because your plan failed."
"It depends on what you think. Yes, last time, I wanted to tell everyone the truth about the Immortals and make all their techniques public. If I succeed in doing this, maybe I will fail in the end. They will Cleanse everyone, eliminate all the insiders, leaving only those who have not yet understood. And now I bump into you and come here. When I look back at this matter, I find that maybe the success rate is higher now—— Just a little taller.”
Toba began to move toward the door. It was almost time, and it wanted to rush to Wei's house before Jing Huang and Wei set off together.
"Everything is unpredictable, good doctor." It said before leaving, "Wish us good luck."
