My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 205 Different Choices (4.2K)

last night.

Before going to bed, Lucia saw a stranger add her as a WeChat friend.

Xia Li had reminded her before that she should click "Reject" when anyone she didn't know added her as a friend.

Xia Li has repeatedly emphasized that there are many kinds of scams on the Internet, and those fancy deceptive methods are not something that Lucia, a young dragon with little experience in the world, can handle. If she encounters even a liar, she will definitely be deceived.

Lucia still has several hundred yuan in her electronic wallet. For the sake of her little money, she has always listened to Teacher Xia's instructions.

The same thing happened last night.

Lucia wanted to refuse, but after seeing the familiar black and white cat avatar and the note "Sister Long, I'm Wuqi, I have something urgent to tell you!", she somehow clicked the "Agree" button.

Turns out this stuff is pretty unremarkable.

This cow cat probably guessed how vigilant Lucia was, and in order to prove its identity, it even recorded a few videos showing its face.

The cat in the video was meowing anxiously, and Lucia didn't know what he was saying. Later, the two of them had to type to complete the communication.

All along, Lucia had to use Xia Li as an interpreter if she wanted to understand Wuqi's meaning.

Now that she has the means of communicating through text, she can communicate directly with Wuqi.

There's something magical about sending messages to and from a cat.

Cat friends are friends too.

Lucia finally understood the purpose of the watch Xia Li bought for Wuqi...

Isn't this the method that the sinister Xia Li uses to supervise her work?
No wonder Xia Li looked as if she had expected it when someone presented her with a banner that day.

Lucia moaned all night long and hugged Xia Li with her legs as if he were a pillow.

Wuqi didn't chat about anything with Lucia that day. It was not until the evening of the next day that he sent her a string of web links.

He told Lucia the whole story, and also let Lucia know that the man was the time traveler that Xia Li suspected.

Wuqi couldn't figure out how to resolve this matter. He had neither the ability nor the courage.

After much thought, I could only relay it to Sister Long.

Perhaps Sister Long will discuss this with Xia Li again.

Lucia has been studying these posts and video content since dinner.

Coupled with Wuqi's exaggerated description, she also became uneasy.

What made her even more uneasy was that Wuqi's statements were all facts.

[My ability is not to change the future, but to change the past.

In my world, this ability is a blessing from the girl of destiny, and is called 'destiny'. 】

Under the question titled "If you have the ability to destroy the world, should you use it?", the poster answered some netizens' questions.

Unlike time travelers like Xia Li, he didn't seem to want to hide the fact that he was a time traveler at all, but instead introduced himself with great fanfare.

His language was plain, as if he was narrating in a normal way, which was completely different from his previous state when he was arguing with people in Xia Li's book.

The sudden calm in his words made some netizens think that he was just trying to attract attention in another way.

In order to prove that what he said was credible, and perhaps to attract attention, the poster even uploaded a picture.

The background of the picture is next to a bridge.

The surroundings were pitch black, with only an orange street lamp shining down from overhead.

In the center of the picture stood a young man who looked quite young. He lifted up a corner of his clothes, revealing a gray-white stone in the center of his chest that looked like it was embedded in his flesh.

At first glance, it looks a bit like AI synthesis - after all, if it is not AI synthesis, the practice of embedding stone into the surface of the heart is too dangerous.

However, as an AI picture, this photo shows absolutely no trace of AI.

【There are two usages of 'fate'. 】

The author of the post actually patiently answered netizens' questions.

Even though those replies were full of sarcasm and ridicule, the user with the black avatar remained quite calm.

[One is the ability to backtrack. I can repeat what has happened.

I think you can understand why I say 'load the file', right?
I can find the only right path among countless reincarnations of time and among many wrong results... This ability makes me very lonely, but I have used it to save many people.

However, after returning to Earth, this ability disappeared.

I can no longer change the past, I can't go back to the day when my parents committed suicide by drowning themselves, nor can I turn back time and return to the world I once existed in. 】

[The second ability.]

Heart of stone, power of words.

Technically, this is magic.

But what it consumes is not magic power, but another kind of spiritual power, which you can understand as "emotion".

Its ability is also to interfere with fate - when I say the "result", it will start to work, search out various possibilities in cause and effect, and then realize the path that is closest to the "result".

The more difficult the 'result' you want to achieve, the greater the cost...

However, this ability has certain limitations, and I cannot realize things that do not exist.

For example, if I want a burned arm to decay instantly, first of all, it is necessary that the arm is actually likely to be burned in the current environment...

For example, let a restaurant explode.

The prerequisite for doing this is that there are indeed factors in the restaurant that could cause an explosion... The dilapidated natural gas pipeline is the biggest hidden danger.

There is a cause before there is an effect, this is the causal theory of fate. 】

[It's still the theory of cause and effect, why write it in such detail? 】

[Dude, are you okay? Haha... Why are you still acting? 】

[It’s useless to talk so much nonsense. When will the world be destroyed? I can’t wait any longer. ]

【After reading so much, I probably know the questioner's "ability". It's similar to choosing a possibility in a parallel universe, right? You can just create a possibility that the dinosaurs didn't become extinct. Oh, yes, or an asteroid hit the earth... or an ancient virus outbreak, the advent of the Cambrian period, the melting of the icebergs in the North and South Poles... all of these methods are possible.】

"..."

In the living room, moths under the incandescent light were circling around the bulb, and their wings cast a large shadow on the wall.

Staring at these rows of shocking words, Lucia's heart skipped a beat.

Lucia is a dragon herself. She is well aware of the existence of magic and how dangerous a joke made by netizens unintentionally can be.

It is obviously not a wise choice to instigate or even provoke a time traveler with extraordinary powers.

Moreover, this group of people seemed to have overlooked one thing.

This netizen with the black avatar has accurately "predicted" many things.

For example, car accidents, meteorites, fires, and hail falling from the sky...these things are all news that happened recently in Chongqing Province.

However, the person who sets the questions on this website can edit the content of the questions at will, so most netizens will only think that the person who sets the questions acted first and asked later, and that the person who sets the questions made the patch only after these disasters occurred.

If Lucia had not heard about this time traveler from Xia Li in advance, she would not have believed these things so easily.

However, Xia Li himself said that time travelers exist.

So everything made sense to Lucia.

"Xia Li, this must be the person you mentioned last time. I remember his profile picture looked like this... His ability is so dangerous."

Lucia held up the phone and showed it to Xia Li for a long time.

After a long time, Xia Li looked away.

He exited Lucia's mobile app and turned off the screen.

Seeing no special reaction on his face, Lucia tilted her head and put her face in front of Xia Li's chest, as if she was acting coquettishly.

"Have you finished reading?"

"Well, it's over."

"What should we do now?"

"What can I do? Go take a shower and get ready for bed."

"What about you...?" "I'm going to read a book. I haven't finished reading one unit yet."

"……Why?"

Xia Li's answer was so clear and concise that Lucia even wondered if she had heard it wrongly.

Some time ago, when Xia Li began to insist that the other party was a time traveler, Xia Li was obviously very excited. And when he learned that the other party's life was not going well, Xia Li clearly wanted to help the other party.

But today, why did his attitude suddenly change?

Lucia couldn't understand.

She felt that she couldn't guess what Xia Li was thinking recently.

Xia Li always said that her personality had changed a lot, but Lucia felt that Xia Li had also changed a lot...

I don’t know when it started, but the brave and positive Xia Li became restrained.

Lucia seemed to have forgotten the brave man who held the sword in his hand, had a firm look in his eyes, and was ready to die while guarding his companions behind him.

Lucia knew very well that these changes in Xia Li were inseparable from her.

"Go quickly."

"Oh……"

He was scolded by Xia Li again.

Lucia subconsciously put away her phone and didn't ask any more questions about the matter.

She has been very obedient recently because she knows that Xia Li has a heavy burden, so she will try her best to reduce the trouble she brings. She will do whatever Xia Li asks her to do without any resistance.

...Although doing so would really make Long lose face.

After taking a delicious hot bath, Lucia secretly listened to the noise in the small dark room for a while, and found that Xia Li was studying, so she had to return to her bed in shame.

After rolling around on the bed feeling somewhat lonely, Lucia took out her cell phone from her pajama pocket and continued browsing the posts attentively.

The post has been updated.

[Although I didn't see what you complained about, it's not hard to tell from your previous replies that you've been wronged. If you really have the ability, why are you still sitting at home like a loser and posting questions to netizens? I would have killed him a long time ago.]

[If nothing else, since you are so awesome, why don’t you show us a tsunami? ? ]

[I don't think so. The IP of this questioner is in Chongqing Province. According to what he just said, his ability must have a causal possibility. Chongqing Province is inland and not near the sea, so the tsunami performance you want to see is probably not possible...]

[Then let it rain. It just so happens that your place is surrounded by mountains, and there will be some landslides and mudslides. 】

[Is the above person sick? The poster hates the world, so do you hate the world? ? Hey your mother. ]

[This is so scary, please stop chatting.]

[+1, I am from Chongqing Province, and it has started to rain heavily here...]

Seeing this, Lucia's delicate brows frowned again.

She opened her browser instead and started checking the weather forecast.

The weather forecast clearly showed no rain, but a red warning for heavy rain was issued a few minutes ago.

"..."

Lucia swallowed and felt her throat was a little dry, so she quickly got up and went to the bedside to get a glass of water.

"Om..."

In the quiet room, the sudden vibration from the cell phone startled Lucia.

When I saw the message, it was from Wuqi.

Wuqi: Sister Long, what did Brother Xia say?

Lucia: Xia Li said nothing.

Wuqi: Okay...Sister Long, go to bed early.

After a brief chat with Wuqi, Lucia put down her phone, feeling even more troubled.

It was already late at this time, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Normally at this time, she would have been ready to drink milk and go to sleep.

Maybe because it was a day off today, Lucia didn’t feel sleepy and her mind was in a mess.

I just went on a date with Xia Li today...

Xia Li made an exception and bought him an ice cream from the mall. The ice cream was blueberry flavored. After eating it, his tongue turned purple, and Lucia even stuck out her tongue to show Xia Li.

They went to the video game arcade to catch dolls, but Xia Li didn't allow her to use magic, so she failed to catch them after more than ten attempts. She could only stamp her feet in anxiety through the glass door. In the end, Xia Li helped her to get them out.

Lucia exchanged the doll for a more practical bow hairpin. She wanted to give it to Xia Li, but Xia Li refused and ran away.

Lucia was so angry that her short legs chased her all the way before she caught up with him. The whole dragon was so tired that it was out of breath...

Lucia feels very happy with this kind of life.

She likes the earth and the society she lives in now.

If possible, she didn't want to disrupt this peace.

but.

It is precisely because we want to cherish this kind of life and want it to continue that we cannot turn a blind eye.

Once her extraordinary abilities became known, Lucia didn't think she would be able to escape unscathed.

She existed alone in this society, without adequate security. If these things were exposed to the public, she would probably not be able to go to work, go to the arcade with Xia Li, or continue her peaceful life.

Lucia rolled over on the bed.

She also remembered a sentence she had heard before.

'A community with a shared future for mankind.'

When disaster strikes, no one can stay out of it.

Now, before anything happens, there is still time to do anything.

With a creaking sound.

"Xia Li..."

Lucia pushed open the half-open wooden door of the small dark room.

He poked his head out from behind the door with a guilty conscience.

There was no light on in the small dark room because there were no windows. The only light source in the entire space was the computer.

At this time, Xia Li was sitting in front of the computer, the screen shining on his face, his dark eyes reflecting a faint blue light.

He was holding a gel pen. When he saw Lucia coming, Xia Li stopped writing, paused the computer, and turned to look at her.

"Didn't you go to bed?"

"I can't sleep..." Lucia shook her head.

Xia Li smiled gently: "Wait for me for a moment, I will go and warm your bed."

"That's not the reason."

Lucia muttered softly, pinching the corner of her clothes in her hand, with uneasy feelings emerging in her heart.

"Let's discuss it..."

"What to discuss?"

"Let's go to Chongqing Province."

As she spoke, Lucia raised her eyes.

Those eyes were filled with so many emotions, the worry after the calm was broken, the fear about the future, and more, the resoluteness after making up one's mind.

The smile on Xia Li's face paused.

Then he turned off the computer, got down from the gaming chair, and gently rubbed Lucia's head.

"Don't think so much, come on, let's go to bed."
