bit stealing game

Chapter 41 Reminiscing about the past

"'Come to me'?" I repeated meaninglessly.

These three words are like a charm, just saying it makes me sink.

Li Yuan hummed calmly.

I narrowed my eyes and looked at him: "You're not too surprised."

Li Yuan shrugged: "I came here to find it. It doesn't matter whether it says it or not. What's more, I will go to the slaughterhouse sooner or later. It's the same everywhere."

I was shocked by his mentality.

Li Yuan smiled at me placatingly, and then told me: "The person in the Yin family who was the one who was transformed before my aunt is right. This disease in the Yin family is like preparing for something.

The so-called transformation is just to manipulate us according to their wishes."

The same thing was said by Grandpa Li and Li Yuan himself, and the impact was completely different.

Countless questions were stuck in my throat, but when I opened my mouth, I asked: "Why are your hands so cold?"

Li Yuan's eloquent eyebrows raised.

I could only say awkwardly: "That's it. I heard Aunt Li Zheng say that the transformation process is like magma flowing in the blood vessels."

Li Yuan smiled: "Auntie's statement is quite vivid."

I couldn't help but regret asking the damn question.

Li Yuan didn't mind. He found a more comfortable position in the chair. He looked boneless, but he didn't look broken at all: "Actually, you know that it's just a metaphor, right? It's not so much.

The magma is flowing, rather than the blood boiling. After boiling, it transforms into another substance, just like steel is smelted."

He said it lightly, as if nothing had happened. If I hadn't seen him holding back the pain yesterday, I would have believed it.

"I just didn't expect that strange celestial phenomenon would be a full moon, so I was a little unprepared." Li Yuan smiled sheepishly, "Did you scare me yesterday?"

I don't really like his way of thinking that he is the unlucky one, but still insists on feeling responsible for it.

"You think I'm scared?" I looked disdainful. "Has this happened before?"

Li Yuan shook his head: "This is the first time I felt transformation before the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. That full moon was really evil. But if yesterday's 'transformation' was a transformation, I would be merciful."

As he spoke, he raised his hands to the sky, as if to thank God for his mercy.

Li Yuan is not someone who needs comforting, so I will spare you those words. But I still have to ask some questions clearly.

"If Teacher Bai and the others hadn't arrived in time yesterday, would you have really gone to offer sacrifices to that damn altar?"

"Why not? Sooner or later, the blood will be given to you. Rather than looking for opportunities to test it later, it's better to let them see clearly."

I was shocked by Li Yuan's attitude of accepting his fate calmly, and he said something stupid again: "Don't you think it's scary that your own blood can light up the ancient Egyptian altar?"

"It's nothing. That transformation will always have some effect. Using my blood to power an altar isn't the worst thing I've ever imagined."

"Then what have you been thinking about?" I asked casually.

"You really want to know?"

When I saw his eyebrows raised maliciously, I knew he was holding back something bad. "Do you want to talk or not?"

Li Yuan was happy. "Actually, no matter what this transformation did to my blood, it's not too outrageous. Although the little animals are not happy to get close to me, I feel that I am still separated from the lizard people."

Li Yuan smiled at my cold look, and then analyzed: "Hassan said that the altar can recognize the so-called [ancient bloodline]. Since my own blood was also accepted by the altar, it proves that this [ancient bloodline] must not be

The bloodline of ancient Egypt. As you said yesterday, they can't just want us to shed blood to identify ourselves. So what can be recognized by the altar is our similarity. And this similarity, except for the magnetic field,

Just do what he thinks. After all, there is a piece of 'ore' in Egypt, so it is very likely that the Hassan brothers and sisters have also been transformed."

"But are you really not afraid? No matter what their purpose is, it will not be as simple as holding a marriage recognition meeting for you. If you are dragged into the desert by them, the sky and the earth will not work.

"

"I've been hiding in XZ all my life. I can't live anywhere." Li Yuan said plainly and straightforwardly, as if he was talking about an unrelated person. "Since they have tried so hard to let us see the desert, there is no reason not to take a look.

Take a look."

Indeed. And 279 came here under the banner of the Eastern Sahara Desert Investigation Team. How did they know their destination before seeing the live theater of the Temple of Omniscient?

A lot of things happened yesterday, but they gave me a lot of trouble. After eating and drinking, I felt sleepy again. I drank a lot of coffee and chewed a lot of tea leaves before I could barely open my eyes. But Li Yuan

Like someone who has nothing to do.

I gave him a jealous look.

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows: "This is probably another effect of transformation."

I became interested: "Oh? Is there any other manifestation of this transformation?"

A Tian mentioned a point: No matter what the principle of the transformation of this magnetic field is, it must have a purpose.

After all, you can't go to great lengths to transform a living person just to torture him once a month, right? Then you can completely make him a woman.

With this thought in mind, I glanced at Li Yuan.

He said "tsk". "What do you mean by that look in your eyes? This magnetic field can't turn me into the Hulk. If I die, my metabolism will be relatively slow."

I felt energetic, but my mind still couldn't turn around: "Then do you have any other physiological needs?"

Li Yuan's brows jumped again when I asked him.

I added: "Are you just like ordinary people, even if you eat, drink, poop, and sleep?"

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes helplessly: "What you are talking about is called Bigu. I guess I have to go to immortality to achieve it. This transformation is not that amazing. If it is exhausted, it will make me more capable."

I said oh.

"But the magnetic field has its own rules. The magnetic field of those stones is not something of this world, and is not consistent with the laws of nature."

"What's the meaning?"

If it’s not this world, could it be something from the underworld?

I looked at Li Yuan's extraordinarily young face, and thought of Li Zheng's face that couldn't tell the time and his eyes that had seen too much. I had a vague guess in my mind.

"Being transformed is a bit like staying in top condition. So I don't get tired easily, don't age very much, and don't even leave traces." After finishing speaking, Li Yuan asked me: "Do you still remember when you took me on a bicycle once when I was a kid?

What?"

I nodded.

At that time, I had just learned to ride a bicycle, so I had to let Li Yuan sit in the back seat to take him out. As a result, I knocked out a tooth and also gave him a gash in his forehead. After the fall,

Li Yuan's face was covered in blood, and he was crying while comforting me and saying it was okay. I didn't know whether it was because he was in pain or because he was scared, but I just cried loudly.

Now that I hear Li Yuan mention this matter again, I feel a little embarrassed.

Li Yuan didn't take advantage of the topic. He just pushed his hair away from his forehead and leaned over with his head slightly lowered.

I looked at his forehead, which didn't even have any forehead wrinkles. The skin there was smooth and smooth, not to mention scars, not even an acne mark could be seen.

Back then, Li Yuan, a pretty little kid like me, was almost disfigured by me, and my mother almost beat me to death. Now that I think about it, I am afraid that the beating I received was in vain.

Li Yuan leaned back again and said under my complicated gaze: "It's not just here. I was injured several times later, without exception, without leaving any trace. When I grew up, I realized that it was not just here.

Scars, even time refuses to leave me a souvenir."

"So your body won't be hurt?" I asked.

"Whether you are injured or not is one thing. But no matter what kind of injury you get, you will eventually recover." Li Yuan shrugged, "The sovereignty of this body is not mine."

I subconsciously licked the place where the tooth was missing.

The tooth that was knocked out in the bicycle accident grew back when the teeth were replaced. There will be no scars on Li Yuan's body. Everything that happened eighteen years ago left no trace.

In fact, it could have continued like this, and it didn't matter whether we had met or not. But now, we have reached the same destination in Egypt through different routes.

As for Li Yuan's understatement of "having been injured several times," I know that it is definitely not as light as what he said, but I can't bear to pry.

Li Yuan's past sufferings and years may not have left a single trace on his body, but it also irresistibly changed him.

"No wonder your skin is so good, it turns out to be a natural beauty." My tone was sour.

Li Yuan laughed. "This is probably considered rent. You can't support others in vain, right?"

I couldn't laugh, so I could only change the topic abruptly: "But it seems to me that the Hassan brother and sister have not been affected by life. I don't know where they came into contact with the magnetic field."

Li Yuanshen thought so.

"So." As soon as I started, Li Yuan continued: "So I think we should go meet Hassan. As an 'ancient Egyptian priest', he must know something."

What I want to say is that I don't know what the magnetic field wants Li Yuan and others to do. It may be dangerous to follow the so-called 'oracle' rashly. Although the topic has been taken away, I also feel that going to find those Egyptians

It's a good idea to ask.

I can't contact Hassan, but I still have Ali's contact information.

Originally, I didn't want to deal with him anymore, and I didn't reply to the apology and explanation messages he sent me.

Li Yuan saw my reluctance and said considerately: "If you don't want to pay attention to them, forget it. They were not the only ones who went to the desert."

I've already sent the message here. "It's okay. Since I know there are clues here, why not use them."

Ali replied quickly, saying that he and Hassan happened to be in the city as well and made an appointment to meet us in an hour.

It happened that Lao Zhang's WeChat message was also sent over. He and A Tian couldn't sleep when they went back. They stayed up until dawn looking for me to eat, but they couldn't find me and asked me where I had gone.

I didn't hide it from them, I just said that I was finishing dinner with Li Yuan and would go to see Ali and the others later.

Lao Zhang immediately exploded, and a bunch of exclamation points came up to accuse him. A Tian only sent two words: "Address." I sent it to her obediently. A Tian said that she and Lao Zhang would go there immediately, and asked me to hurry up.

When we meet, she still has something to say to us.

I stared at my phone helplessly. I didn't want to cause trouble for them, but if I didn't let them come, I might have to worry. And if they really wanted to come, they could just ask Ali directly.

"Let's go over now. My friends are coming too."

Li Yuan had no objection, and we walked all the way to the agreed place.

The carriage passed by with shouts and dropped a small stone in front of us. I kicked it subconsciously. Li Yuan smiled and I looked at him.

Li Yuan sighed: "You two friends are very interesting."

I raised my eyebrows: "No, it's better than not even knowing the real name."

I looked at the person in front of me and finally asked the question I had been thinking about for a long time.

"Are you Li Yuan or Yin Yuechen?"

He smiled.

The sun shines down generously.
