You are my wife, don't doubt it!

Xiao Yao thought he was familiar enough with this pair of eyes, but today, he felt extremely strange - he regretted that he seemed to have paid too much attention to unimportant things, and not paid enough attention to the window to her soul.

Relatively speaking.

"You should leave quickly." Yu Luying did not answer Xiao Yao's question, but repeated it again.

"Come on!" Zhang Zhengkai's shadow growled.

When the shadows in the room heard the order, they immediately rushed forward.

A small badge appeared on Xiao Yao's left hand.

On the front of the coat of arms is a portrait of a man wearing a knight's helmet and a goatee, with the words "Don Quijote de la Mancha" written below.

This small badge turned slightly in the air - to be precise, above Xiao Yao's left palm. The black horse head on the back turned into a black crown in a dazzling light.

"Kneel down!" Xiao Yao's voice was like a bell.

The tip of the sword drew an elegant arc in front of him.

A few rays of light flashed by, and before Zhang Zhengkai and Yu Luying could see clearly, the private room immediately became much more spacious.

Because the shadows had begun to melt amidst the shrill wails, merging into the darkness that permeated the room.

In just a few seconds, Zhang Zhengkai's shadow had dug a dog hole in the wall facing the door of the Qiangui KTV box that was only wide enough for one person to pass through?

The armored female knight stood between the shadows of Xiao Yao and Zhang Zhengkai, and the small badge also appeared out of thin air in the palm of her left hand.

On the front of the badge is a portrait of Cinderella with "Cendrillon" written in French below.

After turning the coin over, Xiao Yao noticed that the pattern of the short inverted triangular cone with a plain oval head on top turned into a black crown in the same brilliant light.

Xiao Yao was shocked: "Are you real?"

"What else?" Yu Luying raised her eyebrows.

"Tit for tat, huh?" Xiao Yao laughed, "You're cheating, huh? How dare you - you just made it to the bottom line and you're promoted to queen?"

(Note: In chess, if a pawn reaches the innermost row of the enemy, it can be transformed into any piece except the king)

"I get promoted, I change, what's it to you?" Yu Luying retorted.

Xiao Yao suddenly felt that the atmosphere became less serious.

"Move aside, the wife obeys the husband," Xiao Yao waved his sword, "The queen must also obey the king."

"Who is your queen? Who is your wife?" Yu Luying spat, "'No one can touch Shen Jie!' - Your wife is over there!"

"Where is Shen Jie?" Xiao Yao asked hurriedly, "Do you know where Shen Jie is?"

"I don't know," Yu Luying said faintly, "At this point, are you still only concerned about Shen Jie? I won't tell you even if I know."

These words made Xiao Yao feel that she was not quite like herself.

"Please make way, friend." Xiao Yao waved the sword in his hand - he saw that Zhang Zhengkai had already crawled halfway out of the dog hole, and suspected that this "Yu Luying" was just delaying time, and he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"What if I don't let you?" "Yu Luying" continued to pester: "Are you going to hit me again?"

Xiao Yao ran forward, trying to bypass Yu Luying and catch the tail of Zhang Zhengkai's shadow, but he bumped into an invisible barrier.

It’s the same old routine again.

"Don't think I won't hit you just because you look like Yu Luying," Xiao Yao warned him for the last time, "I've had enough of this illusion of truth and falsehood!"

"You still want to beat your wife?" "Yu Luying" raised her eyebrows and said, "You are a violent man, do you know that there are only 0 times and countless times of domestic violence?"

"?" Xiao Yao was so angry that he laughed: "You are not my wife, you just said it yourself."

"I'm not your wife," "Yu Luying" sneered, "You dragged me into the grass on the green land beside the school and did that to me?"

"?" Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed, but he knew that he could not allow the other party to waste time any longer.

Xiao Yao turned the direction of his sword and attacked with the hilt and shield.

That "Yu Luying" snorted softly, dodged lightly, and returned a blow casually.

Xiao Yao tilted his head and easily dodged the crooked, extremely slow-flying ice arrow.

"Someone come, my boyfriend hit me!" Yu Luying shouted, "It's domestic violence!"

Xiao Yao was angry and amused, and was also worried that this was some kind of skill to attract monsters. Fortunately, after fighting for a long time, no one really came over.

It was said that they fought for a long time, but in fact it was more like "dancing" than "martial arts" because no one on either side dared to really fight.

Xiao Yao could only guess why "Yu Luying" held back, but for him, he still felt that this Yu Luying might not be a pure fake.

Not to mention that she held back on him, helping him out and healing his injuries.

just……

Xiao Yao himself couldn't explain it clearly.

What's more, even if she didn't hold back, this "Yu Luying" was strong enough that she wouldn't be able to gain any advantage in a short time.

But if Xiao Yao said that she was actually Yu Luying herself, of course he didn't quite believe it - not to mention the other party's eccentricity, different personality, way of speaking, tone and behavior patterns from usual, the fact that he couldn't feel any symbiosis with her was enough to explain the problem.

Even before, in the shadow world and shadow time, the symbiotic connection still existed, didn't it?

Wait, when I first entered Teacher Yao’s hall…

Just when Xiao Yao was struggling over whether he should launch a more fierce attack, Yu Luying suddenly put away her armor and transformed back into the image of a high school girl wearing a square school uniform. Following Xiao Yao's attack, she fell on the sofa, groaned, and looked at Xiao Yao with resentment, reproach, and pitiful expression.

"A scam, huh?" Xiao Yao suddenly laughed out loud again.

"I'll settle the score with you when we get out." said "Yu Luying".

Xiao Yao knew that she had delayed enough time. After hesitating for a while, he thought that she would not intentionally harm him, so he glared at her and crawled out along the "dog hole" that Zhang Zhengkai had crawled out of.

The hole doesn't look big, and considering Xiao Yao's size (obviously a little bigger than Zhang Zhengkai), it is not very difficult for him to get through it.

After crawling over, I found that there was a room of neither big nor small opposite. But it was not Qiangui’s KTV room. It looked more like a... bedroom?

Although the light in this bedroom is also dim, it is already bright compared to the pure darkness in the KTV room just now.

Xiao Yao's first reaction was that this was the lounge where Qiangui staff took their lunch break, a projection in this "world".

But if you think about it carefully, they don’t look alike.

He took out his cell phone, used the dim light from the screen to illuminate the room, and looked around the room again.

The room is not too big, only about ten square meters and less than twenty square meters.

The walls and floor were all light yellow tiles, and they smelled like... disinfectant?

In the center of the room is a simple single bed with clean white sheets and a neatly folded quilt.

This made Xiao Yao feel a little strange, because as everyone knows, in a normal person's bedroom, the bed must be placed against at least one wall.

Even if there are no walls on both sides, at least the head of the bed should be against the wall, right?

But this bed was placed in the middle of the room without any support on the four sides, which made Xiao Yao feel that this room was like a morgue - no, like a forensic dissection table.

Only a forensic dissection table would place the bed neatly in the center of an empty room.

There was a small night light on the bedside table. Xiao Yao pressed it casually, and the damn thing actually lit up, emitting a soft warm yellow light.

There is a soft, long-haired carpet on the floor at the foot of the bed, and the color of the carpet is also light yellow.

The west wall of the room caught Xiao Yao's attention.

This wall is covered with photos of various sizes hung on clips.

Could this actually be a darkroom for developing film?

Xiao Yao walked closer to the wall and looked carefully at the photos hanging on it.

"oops!"

The boy gasped.

Even though he knew that he was in a world that did not exist in reality, and even though he had seen too many strange sights in this world, Xiao Yao was still a little scared by what he saw.

There is a girl with long hair in every photo.

The same girl with long hair.

She smiled happily and looked to be between 13, 4-17 years old, as if she had spanned a time dimension of several years.

Some of these photos were taken from the school playground, some were taken secretly while playing in the park, and some seemed to be taken secretly in the girl's own home.

All the photos show different moments in the girl’s life. She always smiles so brightly, but this situation makes people feel a little cold in their hearts.

In fact, Xiao Yao felt a little creepy.

Ah, here, some photos of short and medium hair.

It's from the last few months.

Xiao Yao even found his own appearance.

Although only half of the body and half of the face were often visible, he could still recognize himself next to Shen Jie.

"Wife..." Xiao Yao whispered, gently stroking the girl's face in the photo.

Xiao Yao doesn't know much about photography, but these photos were undoubtedly taken with very professional equipment.

Telephoto lens? SLR? Anyway, it should be a camera with a built-in military telescope function, which can take a clear picture of the pores on a person's face from a thousand miles away - no, a thousand meters away.

Could it be that in real life, Zhang Zhengkai did this, stalking and secretly photographing Shen Jie for several years?

Did he really have a... bedroom? A darkroom?

Even after Shen Jie was with him...

Just as Xiao Yao was concentrating on "appreciating" each and every photo, the door behind him suddenly opened.

When Xiao Yao heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he immediately turned around and held out his sword, pressing it against the throat of the person who came.

"What are you doing?" Shen Jie was surprised and asked.

Or rather, the girl with Shen Jie's face asked this.

Xiao Yao subconsciously lowered the tip of his sword, then raised it again alertly: "Who are you?"

"I'm Shen Jie." the girl replied.

Chapter 386 I am Shen Jie

2023-11-21

~

Xiao Yao subconsciously lowered the tip of his sword, then raised it again alertly: "Who are you?"

"I'm Shen Jie." the girl replied.

"How do I know you are the real Shen Jie?" Xiao Yao asked.

Shen Jie sounded somewhat confused, but her expression could not be seen in the dim light: "This is indeed a problem."

I'm sure that you readers will not laugh at Xiao Yao's suspicion. After all, he has witnessed too much truth and falsehood, falsehood and truth.

If you were to find yourself in such a situation, you would become confused and disoriented, and would not trust anyone - you would not dare to trust anyone easily.

Based on past experience, the most effective way to determine the authenticity of the other party, and it seems to be the only effective way, is to use secret codes and exchange some secret information that only the two of them know.

But the problem is that they are all in other people's halls.

That was all during public film time.

And now the world he was in - although Xiao Yao had no evidence, he suspected that it was actually his own... his own...

Dream?

Palace?

The spiritual world?

In this case, it becomes logically impossible to prove that the other party is not a product of one's own consciousness projection or something else.

Just as Xiao Yao was thinking about it, the girl with the sword tip against her throat suddenly cried out, took a half step back, and kicked her right leg high. Xiao Yao thought to himself that it was not good, his palm was numb, and the hilt of the sword was no longer in his hand, and flew high.

Xiao Yao has experienced all kinds of storms since he obtained Don Quixote's Fortress, but this is the first time that his weapon has been lost.

He jumped up and was about to grab the sword, but Shen Jie roared again, rushed over to him, and pressed him down on the morgue bed in the middle of the room, her small body pressing on Xiao Yao's.

Xiao Yao took off his armor and surrendered.
