Chapter 58
This time it's you who came to find me.
Stepping out of my memories, I looked at the face before me, now blurred.
Huai Xu chuckled softly, "Why... guess~"
She really...
I am truly, truly, truly satisfied.
All that's left is for him to remember himself.
As long as you can remember yourself...
"This time, my love, it's your turn to come to me..."
As the woman with tear-streaked cheeks gradually became transparent, Lu Li suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain.
He didn't know why either.
But that didn't stop him from pressing on, "Hey lady! Can you stop being such a riddle-maker? Why are you doing this? And where the hell am I supposed to find you?!"
"..."
Miss Huai Xu's heartbreakingly beautiful smile froze for a moment, then quickly disappeared.
Lu Li seemed to see her roll her eyes.
Maybe it's just my imagination...?
"We haven't even gotten our marriage certificate yet..."
Muttering to himself, Lu Li suddenly felt two things in his hands.
One of them was a marriage certificate, and the other was a tear that had not yet faded.
The marriage certificate was indeed his and Huai Xu's.
But he doesn't remember when he got the marriage certificate.
Perhaps it was Huai Xu who caused it when I fainted?
Lu Li carefully put away the marriage certificate, then looked at the teardrop in his hand.
"Can ghosts shed tears?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tear suddenly shot into his left eye.
"Well......"
Lu Li covered his left eye with one hand and groaned softly.
Suddenly, a lot of things flooded his mind, making his head ache as if it were about to explode.
Not far away, the trio who had watched Lu Li's entire "performance art" were all numb.
Li Guoping closed his swollen left eye and looked at Lu Li with his bruised right eye. "Xiao Pan, you know Xiao Lu well. What do you think he's doing? Is he really crazy or is it performance art? Or is it just a unique quirk of a master? He's just pretending to have an invisible girlfriend and then hugging and kissing her while crying his eyes out."
"I can't say..." Pan Shuai also expressed his doubts.
He had never seen Lao Lu like this before...
"But it shouldn't be a quirk, after all, even if it's a master's quirk, it's at most a germaphobia or a need to do something before taking action, that kind of fussy ritual. But no matter how weird it is, it's impossible to imagine having an invisible girlfriend... This is as absurd as looking in the mirror at home without clothes when no one is around."
"What's so strange?!" Li Guoping roared, "I look at myself in the mirror every day without a shirt on!"
He was even quite proud, "After all, there isn't a real man like me in the whole world. Of course, now Xiao Lu is half one."
"So tell me, with muscles as good as mine, what can I do besides admire them in the mirror at home? When I'm out, I always pretend to be a greasy, middle-aged man with a big belly."
Pan Shuai was stunned. "Huh?"
Xing Tian, who was standing nearby, pondered for a moment and then offered a different opinion.
"Do you guys think it's possible that Brother Li actually has an invisible girlfriend? Of course, I'm just speculating."
This is not his true thought.
Actually, Xing Tian has now come to his senses.
Maybe that final boss of the dungeon doesn't even exist!
All of this was orchestrated by Lu Li himself!
It seems strange now that I think about it.
Why are the strange events in this world so closely related to a monster from another "world"?
It can't be that Lu Li is actually the main character!
But if he doesn't come to this world, will there be no missions in this world?
If that's the case... then there's only one truth!
Lu Li is the mastermind behind this urban legend!
Xing Tian didn't know his purpose, but he knew that Xing Tian wanted to infiltrate the Super Spirit Bureau!
Just like now, Lu Li has already successfully gained Li Guoping's trust.
[Mission complete. Return now?]
Xing Tian was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, then deeply fearful, and finally indifferent.
He was overjoyed because he had guessed correctly!
As expected, Lu Li was the mastermind! He orchestrated this whole thing himself!
There is no final boss in the mission at all!
Or he himself is the BOSS!
His goal is to infiltrate the core of the world's superhumans!
The fear stemmed from Lu Li's meticulous planning and superb acting skills, which allowed him to almost completely manipulate them!
If it doesn't matter, then it's even simpler.
Anyway, he can return immediately after completing his Xingtian mission, and he will never see this terrifying monster again.
So whatever Lu Li does in the future, whether he destroys the world or something else, it has nothing to do with Xing Tian.
"return!"
Xing Tian couldn't wait to run away.
He didn't want to see Lu Li for even a second longer!
Two meetings later, two-thirds of my entire fortune was swindled away!
And both times, all of his teammates were completely dead!
He himself lived in fear for two consecutive worlds!
A good mission world is one without the absurdities of the world!
Anyway, Xing Tian is finally free!
Swoosh!
Xing Tian disappeared.
Li Guoping and Pan Shuai were both stunned when they saw him suddenly disappear.
But it doesn't matter anymore, because the world is starting to break apart.
The next moment, everything returned to normal.
............
"You really have no sense of atmosphere... my love..."
Huai Xu muttered as he leaned against the old locust tree in the underworld that would never bloom.
"whee......"
But for some reason, as she was thinking about it, she suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Everything went very well.
She successfully met the man she had been longing for, and she also played the victim very well!
And in the end, she deliberately played the riddle-maker.
Besides not ruining the atmosphere, it can also deepen the impression your partner has of you.
Now it'll be hard for her to forget him even if she wants to~
Although Liangren ultimately ruined the atmosphere with her lack of tact, she had achieved her goal overall.
And there was an unexpected bonus!
She pulled out the marriage certificate she had secretly obtained while Lu Li was unconscious, and looked happily at the photo of the two handsome men and beautiful women dressed in ancient costumes.
That's enough!
This time, she will wait quietly.
Waiting for the moment my beloved returns, so I can say something to her...
"I've found you."
............
You said you're an employee of a state-owned enterprise?
"Nonsense! I told you that years ago!"
"What do you do?"
"Military industry, classified, didn't you already know that?"
Looking at Pan Shuai in front of him, who was wearing khaki overalls and holding a beer mug, Lu Li was momentarily stunned.
He had a splitting headache before he passed out.
When I woke up, I found myself lying in my own bed.
Then Pan called him and asked him to come out for dinner.
Then came the scene we see now.
So it's not a supernatural event?
Does that mean everything has returned to normal?
Pan Shuai has lost all his memories related to that urban legend, ghosts, and superhuman beings?
"Young Master Pan, are you familiar with the Super Spirit Bureau?"
"What the heck? An over-age bureau?" Pan Shuai paused, holding his beer glass, stunned. "An organization responsible for compiling statistics on older unmarried youth? Does this mean they're going to start levying a 'single tax' on single older singles?"
Lu Li: "..."
Okay, it seems that part of the memory is indeed missing.
Lu Li continued to probe, "Do you know Li Guoping?"
Li Guoping is the director of the Super Spirit Bureau, Pan Shuai's superior, and also someone who has been instrumental in his success.
He seems to respect the other person quite a bit.
"You know my boss?" Pan Shuai slapped his forehead. "I think I did tell you."
Then he started complaining, "Stop talking about it, that fatso is always late and leaves early, and he's secretly having an affair! But since I saw him shopping with his mistress at the mall last time, he doesn't really care about me, so now I'm late and leave early for work every day too, hehe~ Come on! Let's drink!"
Lu Li: "..."
This normal world is even more outrageous than the superhuman world described in that other worldview...
