15-5 Old Friend
15-5 Old Friend
Mo Bei quickly woke up, panting heavily, still haunted by the shadow of the knife wound and the double shadow of pain in his lungs with every breath. Mo Bei touched his wound; it was completely healed. Dongfang Yun immediately went to him upon seeing Mo Bei awake. A clock leaned against the wall, its protruding steps indicating 21 PM.
Dongfang Yun gave a thumbs up and asked, "How did you feel? You were awesome!" It was the first time Mo Bei had heard someone say he was awesome, and he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Thanks, it felt pretty good, right? You were pretty fast, that cleaver really hurt." Dongfang Yun, hearing "pretty fast," looked a little awkward, "Sometimes when I say 'good,' it doesn't mean 'good,' it's not used like that." Mo Bei scratched his head awkwardly.
Mo Bei said, "By the way, I'm going to find that person... um... you know, that inhuman thing in the waiting area, I think." Dongfang Yun replied, "Okay, let's go together." Mo Bei nodded, and the two walked out of the house together.
They quickly arrived at the ghost visitor's station in the waiting area. The ghost visitor was overjoyed to see Mo Bei wake up so quickly and come over immediately. Mo Bei said, "Can you tell me more now? Thank you." The ghost visitor began, "Back in Tianxing, you were in the Star Prison's sub-prison. I was assigned to accompany Raymond Garrett in his exile." Mo Bei tried hard to recall, but the progress bar was still at 0%. Mo Bei gave up and could only ask some questions about the Star Prison: "So how do you get out of here?" The ghost visitor replied, "A life-or-death card." Mo Bei was a little embarrassed, after all, this was something she had fought so hard for. Seeing his troubled expression, the ghost visitor spoke again, "It's alright, old friends enjoy a discount." Mo Bei hadn't heard of this term before and looked at Dongfang Yun, who gently whispered in his ear, "It means you don't have to ask for too much. For example, a Life and Death Card, if it's discounted by 5%, you only need half a card, which is 5 Life and Death Coins." Mo Bei's eyes sparkled as he looked at the ghost visitor, "Thank you, you're such a kind person. What kind of discount is it?" The ghost visitor slowly replied, "Old friends enjoy a 12% discount." (They're not even going to act anymore.) Mo Bei then looked at Dongfang Yun, who was somewhat helpless: "You're only targeting old friends to fleece, aren't you?" He told Mo Bei, "I mean, I need a Life and Death Card and two Life and Death Coins." Mo Bei only had amnesia, not stupidity. He didn't really think Mo Bei was an idiot: "No, what do you mean?" He turned to pull Dongfang Yun away, but the ghost visitor panicked: "Even an 11% discount is fine! Don't go! Uh… my name is free! My name is Bai Sujia!" By this time, the two of them were already far away. The ghost visitor was meditating on something.
Dongfang Yun, seeing Mo Bei puffing out her cheeks, grinned and said, "Alright, I know how to get out." Mo Bei was delighted. "You need to collect 15 Life and Death Cards, then go to an elimination tournament. The top winner will be received by the warden, who is Mo Moxiao. Let's go out together then." Mo Bei was stunned. "Huh? How many? 15 Life and Death Cards? That's going to kill me!" Dongfang Yun said, "It's okay, I have 10. It's not difficult." Mo Bei breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness."
A voice called from outside; it was Raymond Gartres, presumably the ghost visitor who had contacted him earlier to say that Mo Bei had woken up. Mo Bei went out to look, and Dongfang Yun was peering out the window, wondering why Raymond Gartres had come looking for him. Mo Bei said, "I'm here." Raymond Gartres rushed over and grabbed Mo Bei's hand: "Bei Zi, Bei Zi, what happened to you? You've lost your memory! Do you remember the God Realm? And that egg?" Mo Bei racked his brains but still couldn't remember: "I don't know." Raymond Gartres led Mo Bei to recall...
Upon hearing the description of the God-King Realm, Mo Bei suddenly remembered the rain-sheltered space he had entered earlier and asked, "Is it that place where you can take shelter from the rain?" Raymond Gartres immediately understood: "Yes, yes, that's it." Mo Bei exclaimed in realization: "This is what the God-King Realm is called? I thought it was called 'home'." Raymond Gartres replied, "It can also mean 'home,' the positioning is similar." Mo Bei remembered the word "positioning" and would ask about it later. Dongfang Yun listened to Raymond Gartres and Mo Bei's one-sided reminiscing.
"Back then, I was exiled to Tianxing, and it was all thanks to you guys." ("Why do you all keep mentioning me in Tianxing? Is this place really that magical?") "That stinky thunderbird will never do that again." ("That smells awful, so if you're not going to do it, then don't.") "I don't even know how long I've lived, I'm quite old. I even went back to Paradise, which is kind of like my hometown, and that missing person poster is still up." ("What's that?") "I've been here for another four years, and it feels like a lot has changed." ("Wow, that's a long time.")
Dongfang Yun leaned quietly against the windowsill and listened for more than ten minutes.
