Chapter 56 Dragon Ball

At dusk, the central library is closed as usual. /very literary/(_)

But for adventurers, it doesn't matter whether the gate is locked or not.

So when the library staff were off work, Wenrou was already sitting in the librarian's office.

She also held a photo album in her hand, which was a photo of Mia's father and Mia.

Gentle turned over one by one, she looked very seriously and carefully.

Until Shen Yi came in, he leaned over to look at the photos, and chuckled softly: "What? Want to check my black history?"

Wen Rou replied without raising her head: "It's purely a momentary curiosity, besides, even if there is anything, it will be eliminated by the city."

Shen Yi smiled, and sat down on the armrest beside Wenrou, just in time Wenrou turned to a photo of Mia and his daughter at the entrance of the library, upon seeing this photo, Shen Yi smiled, pointed to the photo and said: "This photo It was taken when I first met her, there was supposed to be another person, it was me, but it was eliminated... The level of PS is good."

"Then what about this one?" Gentle pointed to another photo.

It was also a photo of Mia with her father, the old man wearing a red hat with a Christmas tree behind him.

Shen Yi shook his head: "I haven't seen it. Don't you have time in the lower right corner? It was taken last Christmas. I was already in the city at that time."

"That's strange." Wen Rou slightly tilted her head: "Since it's a photo of last Christmas, why is it only her and her father? If she is married and has children, shouldn't she spend Christmas with her husband and children? Yes, I looked through the entire photo album, why did I only see a picture of her father and her? Not even a picture of her husband and children?"

Shen Yi froze slightly, he noticed that Ruan Rou looked at him with sharp eyes.

Shen Yi couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly: "You really are getting better and better, well, I admit, she's not married, I just don't want you to be jealous."

"The child is gone?"

"No!" Shen Yi replied seriously: "She is indeed pregnant."

A murderous look appeared in the gentle eyes.

Shen Yi hurriedly said: "Don't look at me like this, the child is not mine. Well, I admit that I did sleep with her, and I was her first man,

But it doesn't mean that I have to be her last man... I can't abandon my wife and son for revenge, so I rejected her. She was so sad, so she found another man later, they didn't get married, but she told me that day that she was pregnant. I advised her to get married, but she said she didn't want to, she would rather live alone with the child. Judging from the time I entered the city, this child should have been born by now, and he should be at least half a year old. "

"And what about the child?"

"No, he doesn't exist anymore." Shen Yi shook his head.

Rou Rou looked at Shen Yi in surprise: "What do you mean by that?"

Shen Yi replied earnestly: "In this world, Mia did not have children, from the first time I saw her today, I saw the answer... That's why I suggested coming to the library. That's what I want to know, and it's the only way I can relate the Earth to the urban situation."

Wen Rou was completely confused: "You mean... Mia didn't give birth to a child on Earth..."

"No!" Shen Yi grabbed the gentle hand: "It's not that Mia on Earth didn't give birth to a child, but here, the city didn't create this child!"

"Why?" Gentle was puzzled: "Even if the whole process is imitated with the earth as the background, it is actually a big project to modify the part related to adventurers and missions. *Very literary* The Supreme Council did not For any reason to do unnecessary things, from an urban point of view, it is much easier to copy a newborn baby than to erase his existence and modify related memories."

Shen Yi smiled: "This is the crux of the problem, remember that girl in white?"

The gentle spirit was shocked: "You mean..."

Shen Yi nodded: "I suspect that she is an adventurer or a child of the plot. For some special reason, she has a powerful ability. It is also an unknown reason. She is fighting against the city. Her existence should be a certain reason. A loophole in the rules, but I'm not sure which, and I don't even know if I'm guessing in the right direction. So I thought of Mia, and I remembered the news that she told me she was pregnant before I entered the city... Before I decided When I came here to take a look, I didn't intend to gain anything, but when I saw Mia and found that she was still sitting there reading a book like a girl, and she didn't behave like a mother should, I knew My guess may be in the right direction..."

"You mean, the city didn't create this child, probably because..."

"It could be because there are loopholes in the rules, it could be a fear of the same or similar things, it could be something else, but they're avoiding it anyway, there's no doubt about it."

Regarding the life experience of the girl in white, in fact, there were many speculations before that.

Among them, she may be the product of adventurers or plot characters is the most suspected.

But all along, no one has any evidence to confirm this.

To this day, Shen Yi has used the simplest method to prove: Mia's child does not exist.

This means that the city is likely to be trying to avoid something.

A simple counter-examination.

Although it may not be accurate, at least the possibility of this aspect has been greatly increased.

Of course, the crux of the problem never lies in the result, but in the process... Didn't Shen Ruixia in the Alien Beast Valley had a child, but the result was buried in the wilderness. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the girl in white is the adventurer's child, but if she is, how did she become what she is now?

But for Shen Yi, the first thing he needs to confirm is the direction of his thoughts, and then he has to find out the reasons for all these changes.

At this moment, she understood Shen Yi's motives, and after confirming that he did not have any thoughts of trying to rekindle her old lover in the old world, Wen Rou finally felt relieved.

She began to rub her temples and think about Shen Yi's words: "The loopholes in the rules... what kind of rules could it be?"

"I don't know how the city is designed, it's useless to think about it." Shen Yi put the photo album back: "But what is certain is that this loophole should not exist now."

"Didn't it mean that the city can't make up for the loopholes?"

Shen Yi looked at the photo album intently: "If it can't be repaired, it doesn't mean that the loophole will continue to exist. If you have a hole in your pocket, but you don't know how to sew... The easiest way is not to put money in your pocket. "

Gentle narrowed her eyes, as if she had thought of something: "The previous adventurers were fertile, but the female adventurers are not fertile now. Do you think it has something to do with it?"

Shen Yi looked at Mia's appearance in the photo, slowly closed the album, and sighed: "That may be the reason, or it may be the result. Some things, we will not understand until we reach that point."

At this moment, Hong Lang rushed over suddenly: "The banquet is about to start, and we are waiting for you."

————————

There is a party going on in the library lobby right now—everyone is celebrating Sarah's 20th birthday.

Zhou Yiyu came over with a cart, and there was a three-layer cake with 20 candles on it.

"Happy birthday!" Gentle sent best wishes to Sarah.

"Wow! What a big cake!" Sarah cheered in surprise.

"And this." Shen Yi conjured up a luxurious evening dress like magic: "Put on it, and you will be the princess tonight."

"Oh my god it's so beautiful." Sarah held up the evening dress and exclaimed.

Then came Hong Lang, King Kong and others, who presented Sarah with their own gifts, including diamond necklaces, brand-name watches and other valuable items.

"Where did you get it?" Sarah asked, taking the presents one by one.

Then she heard the answer that left her crestfallen.

Hong Lang said: "Robbery, what else can it be? I went out with Fatty in the afternoon and got it back."

Sarah rolled her eyes: "What the hell, did I say that none of this was obtained through legal channels?"

"Yes." Shen Yi smiled and said, "How about a kiss?"

As Shen Yi said, he held Sarah in his arms and kissed her lightly on the forehead: "This is a thank you for helping us destroy an enemy, and it is also a reward for your extraordinary courage."

"Then your reward is too light."

"I really want to give you a further reward, but I'm afraid that some people will not be willing." Shen Yi said with a smile. He made a double entender with this statement, which caused a lot of boos.

Rourou had already brought the cake up, and gave Shen Yi an angry look: "Don't pay attention to him, it's not a reward, it's just taking advantage. Hurry up and blow out the candles, and don't forget to make a wish."

Sarah folded her hands devoutly and murmured a few words in a low voice, but she didn't know what wish she made.

She blew out the candles, clapped her hands and laughed, "Okay, you can cut the cake."

As she spoke, she picked up the knife and slashed heavily at the cake.

She delivered a large piece of cake that she had cut to Shen Yi's hand: "This is yours."

Shen Yi took it: "Thank you, can you tell me what kind of wish you made?"

Sarah smiled and replied, "Live."

Everyone was stunned at the same time.

Sarah lowered her head and said, "When Dragon Ball comes out, I'm going to die, right?"

Shen Yi stared blankly at Sarah, and everyone was silent at the same time.

For the Broken Blade team, the real arrival of Sarah's birthday is also the moment when the first main task is completed; and for Sarah Daniel, that is also the moment when her life comes to an end.

Although no one mentioned it, the girl herself was smart.

Why five hundred years ago, Ethan's predecessor would give up the mission of heaven for love, why everyone always looks at her with some sympathy and pity, why everyone never mentions what will happen after this... some things even if they don't say , can also be guessed.

Although Sarah is just a human being, she has flesh and blood and a mind of her own. Compared with humans, she is only born differently, but her internal structure is the same, and because of this, she guessed her own destiny.

Shen Yi sighed, nodded slightly: "Yes."

Sarah's face was pale.

She turned her head and came to the window, looked at the moonlight outside the window and said nothing.

Shen Yi walked over and gently held Sarah's shoulders: "I don't know how to comfort you, but Sarah, death is never scary. Sometimes, death itself is a kind of rebirth."

"But I don't like it." Sarah sobbed softly.

Shen Yi hugged Sarah: "Don't be sad, Sarah. You are a good girl. Maybe you don't believe what I say, but this world does exist because of you. When you leave one day, you have to believe that the world It will also lose its meaning because of you."

Sarah curled herself into Shen Yi's arms: "Sounds great..."

"You have always been great." Shen Yi said with a smile: "Otherwise, how could the heavens send us down to protect you? So remember, you will not die, but will be reborn in another form."

He said he wanted to push Sarah away, but Sarah grabbed him and wouldn't let him go.

"Hold me tight, it makes me feel safe," she whispered.

Shen Yi was startled, he turned his head to look at Wen Rou.

Wan Er smiled softly: "It's getting late, let's go to rest, you stay here with her."

She said and left, everyone looked at each other and left together.

When he left, Hong Lang looked at the cake and felt a little bit reluctant, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth while eating and muttering: "Don't waste it."

Sitting in front of the window sill, Sarah stared at the moonlight out of the window: "When I was young, I often sat in my mother's arms and watched the moon, listening and watching, but every time, it was the story that I didn't finish listening to. Asleep...can you tell me a story?"

Shen Yi thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, what do you want to hear?"

"I'll listen to whatever you say."

"Then tell me the story my adoptive father used to tell me when I was young. A long, long time ago..."

Shen Yi began to tell stories in Sarah's ear.

I don't know how long and how much I talked, and finally, Sarah fell asleep.

She slept very peacefully, like a child, only two lines of tears remained on her face.

Shen Yi sighed lightly, and fell asleep leaning against the window sill.

Time passed.

Suddenly Shen Yi felt his body move. He opened his eyes and saw that it was already dawn, and the dragon tattoo on Sarah's shoulder seemed to be alive, emitting a lot of light.

The light condensed in the air, forming the image of a dragon ball, but Sarah in Shen Yi's arms became blurred in the light.

"Sarah!" Shen Yi called out.

Sarah opened her eyes and smiled at Shen Yi.

The next moment, countless light spots burst out from her body, and the whole person completely dissipated in Shen Yi's arms.

At the same time, from the far horizon, there was a clear and loud dragon chant.
