Chapter 406 Fate and the Commander's Gift

"How is this possible?"

Gao Yi's brain was stuck for a while, and he couldn't get it working again for a long time.

He was very sure that he didn't recognize the wrong person. The Gothic image of the player just now was the dumb female player.

But...how could it be?

On the other side, Guan Shi didn't realize why Gao Yi was surprised, and just sighed slightly:

"I said, this is my curse. Being able to change gender freely like now is a gift given to me by the Commander."

He really didn't seem to remember what happened before?

The various mechanical parts in Gao Yi's brain were spinning rapidly, trying to understand the situation in front of him.

After pondering for a long time, he spoke again and tried to summarize it:

"In other words, you were adopted from an orphanage, and when you grew up, you were cursed by something. The Commander gave you a favor, and now you work for him?"

"Add countless battles, several near-death experiences, three abandonments, one pregnancy and childbirth, one recruitment by a strange organization, and countless time travels, that's about it."

Guan Shi nodded and told an awe-inspiring story in a cold tone.

To be honest, Gao Yi felt that his experience was already quite rich.

But he didn't expect that the young man in front of him - let's call him by his current situation for the time being, actually had so many experiences.

When it comes to "time travel", Gao Yi also roughly realized it.

The Guan Shi who seemed to know him before and was imprisoned may not be the other party on this timeline.

Gao Yi has seen some time travel-themed movies, but most of the logic in them cannot stand scrutiny.

Considering its complexity, as well as various settings of "being reduced to ashes after meeting oneself", and the "grandfather paradox" that is unknown to be true or false.

Gao Yi finally decided not to mention the fact that he had met the other party.

After thinking about it, he decided to ask the other party what he had experienced to become what he is now.

As Gao Yi asked, Guan Shi sighed on the swivel chair, looked at the night sky outside the window, and slowly began his story.

A story with ups and downs and difficult to describe began from then on.

Unlike Gao Yi, Guan Shi was abandoned by her parents at the door of the orphanage when she was born and was found by the director's mother-in-law.

In the cardboard box that contained her, there was only a thin quilt and a note with the words "Guan Shi" written on it.

In this way, Guan Shi began her childhood - the childhood of a girl.

The days in the orphanage were not so good, but as one of the few girls with healthy limbs and no diseases or disabilities, her adoptive family came very quickly.

Not long after Guan Shi comforted Gao Yi, who had just been sent to the orphanage because of the death of his parents.

On her sixth birthday, a middle-class couple with fertility difficulties came to the "Happy Home" and chose her.

Although I don't understand why a beautiful and smart girl would be abandoned so ruthlessly.

But in the end, Guan Shi still went to her new home and had parents who truly loved her.

Unlike life in an orphanage, the adopted Guan Shi had her own room, her own wardrobe, her own... home.

"It sounds enviable."

Gao Yi shrugged, while Guan Yu on the other side lowered his head:

"But I didn't cherish all this..."

Time passed quickly.

In a blink of an eye, Guan Shi had finished elementary school and junior high school and became a high school student.

But as her academic performance increased, the originally happy family became fragmented.

Her father worked away from home for a long time, and conflicts arose with her mother, who was a full-time housewife, which turned into endless quarrels.

The two met rarely, and each time ended with torturing various furniture in the living room.

The last time Guan Shi saw her father was the day she graduated from high school.

After that, her father never appeared again. It was said that he had formed a new family somewhere else.

The mother began to drink and smoke, and was depressed all day long.

Guan Shi, who was powerless to do anything about it, chose to go to college in another city.

Having lost her source of income, she had to study hard and strive for every scholarship.

At the same time, she tutored students and worked part-time to earn money.

One day, when she finished her part-time job, Guan Shi met a man, a man with whom she had countless topics to talk about.

The two of them got along so well, and this was the so-called match made in heaven.

"The following story is very cliché. We love, embrace, and enjoy the true meaning of life until... I got pregnant."

It must be said that it is indeed a bit weird for Guan Shi, who is now a male, to tell this story.

But as he explained, Gao Yi also realized what the last of the so-called "three abandonments" was.

On the other side, Guan Shi seemed to see Gao Yi's thoughts and smiled self-deprecatingly:

"Yes, after I got pregnant, the man I loved deeply disappeared.

"I also tried to find him, but found nothing, as if he had never existed in this world. "

"Do you know what is more ironic? "

Gao Yi did not continue the conversation, but just waited silently for the next story.

On the other side, Guan Shi just shook his head, his eyes a little blurry:

"This child that I gave birth to with all my might did not survive in the end, and my doctor told me that I am actually a hermaphrodite."

Guan Shi said, spreading his palms and pointing inward at himself:

"It basically means that I have two reproductive systems, but the female one is more developed. But with the heavy bleeding after childbirth, my ovaries were removed, and what was left for me was the male one...so I became a man."

Although Guan Shi laughed reluctantly when he talked about this.

But this absurd story made Gao Yi sigh.

On the other side, Guan Shi seemed to feel that his story was a bit slow, waved his hand, and summarized the last experience.

She was not in Nankang at the time, and became one of the first people to come into contact with "games" and "dungeons".

It's a pity that she was not exposed as a "player", but was kidnapped as an experimental subject of a certain group of players.

"They implanted some source substance related to the time domain into my body, and I became a little white mouse that was teased.

"That group of people tied me to a pillar, cut my throat, and forced me to use my time ability, but after using it, they would forget the fact that they had cut my throat, so they raised the knife again..."

At this point, Guan Shi's tone and expression became pious, as if he was praising a certain god or a miracle:

"It was the [Commander] who saved me and gave me strength... Although it couldn't get me rid of the curse, it also gave me more opportunities to use this curse, and that's why I am who I am now."

While talking about the [Commander's] kindness, Guan Shi raised his right hand to the night sky and made a strange military salute.

It can be seen that he is really grateful to the [Commander] - no wonder he is so dedicated.

But Gao Yi couldn't help but worry.

Among the many weird people he met recently, Guan Shi is one of the weirder ones........
