Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

----

The one who came down after the ball was a little boy who looked like five or six years old, his small face was round with the characteristic baby fat of a child.He stared at the ball in Qi Zhengyun's hand for a while, and then turned his gaze to this strange man's face, as if he was not sure whether he should ask Qi Zhengyun to return the things to him.

The irises of his eyes are shallower than average, and he has a straight feeling when staring at people.Although he had never seen Lu You as a child, Qi Zhengyun recognized him at a glance.He froze for a moment, and the spire flashed before his eyes that he remembered that it had been a few years ago, but he saw it just now, but it was as brand new as it was just built, and he immediately guessed what was going on now: he was not back to the few minutes before the car accident started , but suddenly reversed the time of more than ten years.

This was not within Qi Zhengyun's expectations.He had only dealt with Lu You as an adult, and before coming here, he was full of that familiar image, and now he didn't know how to react to the silent child on the stairs.The child's performance also lacked a bit of innocence and liveliness that this age should have. He stood still and didn't speak, as if he was carefully observing and evaluating him.

Qi Zhengyun came back to his senses, thinking of the previous voice, it should be him playing with a ball in the corridor.The man raised his hand holding the ball, and before he could speak, he heard the upstairs door open, and a woman called out "Yuyou", with a questioning voice at the end.Lu You looked up, but there was no response. A few seconds later, the sound of a woman's high-heeled shoes came down the stairs.

The breath of the monster became more intense, and in Qi Zhengyun's induction, the source was approaching with the sound of footsteps.He originally thought that the female voice was Lu You's mother, but this familiar atmosphere gave him another guess.

The woman went down one floor and was relieved to see Lu You standing there in good order. "Did the ball fall?" She continued to walk down as she said softly, "Next time Auntie calls you..." She lowered her head and found Qi Zhengyun standing underneath, she was also taken aback.Qi Zhengyun was dressed in black and was tall, so he looked like someone not to be trifled with.When the woman saw the ball in his hand, she didn't know what to think, she had a sorry smile on her face, and hurried down the stairs to Lu You's side.

The woman's appearance was almost exactly the same as the girl Qi Zhengyun had met beside Lu You, but she looked a few years older. "I'm sorry, did the kid hit you while playing ball?" She pressed Lu You's shoulder and pushed him lightly, "Youyou, apologize to uncle."

Qi Zhengyun, who was called "Uncle", couldn't help but become very strange.The woman stared at him blankly. At first, she was wary, but after a few seconds, she slowly turned into suspicion, and finally froze in panic.She subconsciously grabbed Lu You's arm, trying to pull him behind to block him, but Qi Zhengyun's gaze followed, and her movements froze in place again.

This woman is not a pure monster, but there are more monsters than her daughter, and she obviously knows that she is different from humans.When Yuan Xiaoxiao first saw Qi Zhengyun, she just felt uncomfortable instinctively, and the woman who was more aware of the danger of this "human" began to tremble all over.Qi Zhengyun took a look at her, because of the action of trying to protect Lu You behind him, he decided not to care about her indiscriminate use of address just now.

Lu You turned his head to look at the woman's hand holding his arm, and then turned his gaze back to Qi Zhengyun. "I'm sorry." He said softly.The attitude is obedient and clever, lacking the lively nature that a child of this age should have.He seemed a little scared and a little curious about Qi Zhengyun, but his small face was tense, and he didn't want to show these emotions.

Qi Zhengyun felt like a cat's paw was scratching in his heart, and he warned himself to restrain his feelings expressionlessly.Because he didn't know what caused the current situation, and didn't know if he did something, would it cause a butterfly effect and make Lu You's future completely different from what he had seen before, Qi Zhengyun hesitated for a moment, and finally asked pretendingly He said "Is this yours?", and gently threw the ball in his hand up the stairs.

Lu You didn't notice that the woman beside her had an expression as if Qi Zhengyun had thrown a cockroach, and she opened her eyes wide and reached out to pick it up.Qi Zhengyun threw it very accurately, and when he successfully received it, he smiled a little, although he immediately picked it up, he still looked a little happy.

I don't know why he keeps trying to be serious like a little grown-up.Qi Zhengyun had never seen Lu You like this before, so he thought it was a little strange, but it was probably because he stared at Lu You too seriously, which aroused the woman's sense of crisis in some aspect, and she tightened her hand on Lu You's arm, and mustered up her courage Push him up the stairs leading to the upper floor.

"Yuyou, Auntie seems to have forgotten to turn off the gas stove, can you go back and have a look?" The woman's voice was unnaturally tense, and her tone didn't feel a little rushed.The slight smile on Lu You's face disappeared.He let out a "huh" and held the little ball in his arms. He took one last look at Qi Zhengyun, then turned around obediently and walked upstairs.

The child was still walking unsteadily, Lu You climbed up the stairs step by step seriously, Qi Zhengyun held the woman's perverted eyes, "Although I'm terrified to death, but I will never let you pass", he kept watching With the pair of little shoes disappearing at the edge of the stairs, after the sound of opening and closing the door, he turned his gaze back again.The trembling of the woman became more obvious, and Qi Zhengyun inexplicably felt a little depressed.

"Are you his mother?" He pretended not to guess the woman's identity, looking at her and asking.The woman obviously hesitated, and Qi Zhengyun let out a little breath, which helped her quickly decide to tell the truth. "No...his mother went out...to travel." She swallowed nervously, "He...he lives in my house now...I'm taking care of him..."

The woman mustered up the courage to look at Qi Zhengyun, although she only lasted for a few seconds. "Excuse me, who are you looking for, and what's the matter?" She asked in a mosquito-like voice.

Going out for a trip... Qi Zhengyun understood.Now should be the time when Lu You's parents quarreled and divorced, his mother ran away from home, and his father left him to the neighbors.Lu You was already seven years old at this time, and judging from his appearance and attire, he had been taken care of well. The neighbor Yuan's family was also a good person, but he looked younger than children of the same age.

This explains why Lu You is so restrained and reticent - even if he is a kind and kind neighbor, he is still under the fence, and he does not know how long it will last.While trying to reduce the troubles he brings to others, the young Lu You is probably suffering from the fear of being "abandoned" by his parents.

Thinking of this, Qi Zhengyun's heart moved slightly.Lu You formed such a difficult personality when he grew up. In addition to his natural reasons, his family situation in his childhood definitely contributed to it.If we can change from a place closer to the original origin...

...Could it be that the advance time this time is the "welfare" provided by Jiu Wu who was so kind and generous before seeing him?Qi Zhengyun didn't believe that guy would have such kindness at all, but he had already started thinking about a strategy to take advantage of this mistake in his mind.He looked at the woman who was tremblingly waiting for his reply to reveal his purpose, and felt that this person who was afraid of him and had a close relationship with Lu You should be a good breakthrough, so he said frankly to her: "I'm here to find Lu You..."

Before he finished speaking, Qi Zhengyun suddenly felt that the surrounding space began to distort, like the air above the flames.In the rapidly blurred and deformed field of vision, he saw the woman on the stairs retreating, because the expression on her face was already indistinguishable, and he couldn't tell whether she was simply surprised or whether she was the one who caused the change—but Qi Zhengyun Immediately there was a feeling of familiarity.

The light is getting brighter and brighter, as if the old walls and the gray cement steps below are emitting light from within.Qi Zhengyun stood motionless on the spot, the solid feeling of the ground under his feet did not disappear, but he felt that he was advancing rapidly, and at the same time he was rising... His body began to shake slightly, as if he was passing through a field illuminated by the sun. , and dark and turbulent waters.

It's like when he crosses the barrier between worlds...but it's kind of like the world is restarting...

But what shocked Qi Zhengyun the most was: his power was rapidly draining...? !

His ears were filled with the sound of howling wind, and it seemed that someone was calling him indistinctly.There was a white light in front of Qi Zhengyun's eyes, and after a certain moment, it suddenly dimmed, and the brightness in the corridor before the mutation occurred was restored.The voice next to the ear also became clear all of a sudden, it was not a completely familiar voice, the moment Qi Zhengyun realized who the breath was close at hand, he forcibly stopped his attacking move.

"Are you okay?" said the hoarse voice, his tone was full of worry, "Do you feel uncomfortable?" A pair of slender, thin but soft hands held Qi Zhengyun's back, feeling that he had completely returned to normal The man didn't make a sound, and calmly leaned his body a little closer to the hands that wanted to provide support—to show the necessity of this help.

He was still standing in the same place, in the narrow and dark corridor.It felt like the change just lasted only a few seconds, but in the blink of an eye, the scene in the corridor became obviously more dilapidated.The iron railings are covered with rust, the walls have gray cement exposed after the wall ash has fallen, and children's crooked crayon graffiti.Standing beside him was Lu You, carrying a backpack, and his growing body was wrapped in a loose school uniform. He seemed to have just left for school, and he was helping this strange man who "suddenly fell ill" on the stairs and was about to collapse. , with a very bewildered expression.

——The side of Qi Zhengyun he met when he was a child, even if it really existed in the "past" history, has been completely forgotten by him.

Qi Zhengyun visually checked the weight of Lu You's schoolbag behind his back and his load-bearing capacity, and silently straightened his slightly tilted body, pretending to have just recovered. "I'm fine...just a little dizzy just now." He whispered, fascinated by the idea of ​​"pretend to be weak and let Lu You take him home to rest" for a second, then he realized the miraculous possibility and gave up. He stood up straight and said, "It's all right."

Lu You seemed a little worried, but he let go of his hand after confirming that the man was not shaking anymore.Qi Zhengyun carefully controlled his eyes and body reactions, so as not to let the hot emotions in his heart show.He almost greedily felt the green and clean breath of the people around him, so that he missed the next question Lu You asked, so he had to ask in embarrassment after recovering: "...what?"

"... Which floor is your house on? I'll take you up." Lu You repeated, obviously more worried about Qi Zhengyun's situation.He should be at the end of the voice-changing period, and his hoarse voice is not pleasant, and he seems to be quite concerned about this, and he speaks very softly—this actually makes Qi Zhengyun feel very cute.In his words, he did not suspect that Qi Zhengyun was not a resident here. It seemed that although he still lived here, he was not very familiar with the neighbors in the same building.

Lu You has been living on campus since junior high school, and his mother should have remarried by this time and moved to live elsewhere.

"...the fourth floor." Qi Zhengyun said.Lu You's expression became confused after he mentioned the floor: in this kind of building with two households on one floor, there are only his own family and the original family on the fourth floor.But he didn't ask too much, after Qi Zhengyun declined his support, he followed Qi Zhengyun back upstairs together.

Qi Zhengyun's power extended upward faster than his footsteps, reminding the monsters living here of his arrival in advance.In doing so, he confirmed the decline in power that he had noticed during the mutation just now—more precisely, the part of the power assimilated by devouring other monsters was deprived by some unknown means.He has almost returned to the state at the beginning of this cycle mission: even the power consumed by changing the form has to be calculated carefully.

Such a change could mean very bad things, and the worst thing is that the only good thing he did before has become futile.It is the possibility that Jiuwu is playing tricks behind the scenes. The reason why Qi Zhengyun's mentality has not yet shown signs of losing control is because he can feel that the power flowing away from him has not caused the death of a certain animal he once killed. The monster "resurrected from the dead" and reappeared in the world, but just dissipated in the world, as if it was restored to the energy of no owner.

——If that's all it is, then it's acceptable.Come from this world, go back to this world.Anyway, these powers were not suitable for him in the first place, and later he even suspected that they were related to changes in emotional state.After losing, it can restore the original stability.

Qi Zhengyun was a little worried about what if he encountered a powerful monster that he couldn't beat in the future, and then he brought his thoughts back to reality.He heard a few slight "cracking" sounds from behind, like the sound of flapping wings.Qi Zhengyun, who was on alert, quickly turned his head and saw a little bat-like creature flying past the window at the corner of the corridor.

Lu You also saw this scene. "Will there be bats coming out during the day...?" He murmured to himself suspiciously, and when Qi Zhengyun turned his gaze towards him, he became embarrassed for some reason and turned his head away.At this moment, the upstairs door rang and opened slowly, reluctantly.

Lu You called "Aunt Zhou" to the person who opened the door, and when he realized something, he turned back to see Qi Zhengyun's reaction.Qi Zhengyun withdrew the power that had achieved the purpose of reminding, and met the eyes of the woman in the door whose face was pale from fright and who wished she was dreaming.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Zhou." Qi Zhengyun, who had just learned her surname, said without changing his face, "something happened on the road, and I'm late." Lu You seemed to want to say something beside him, probably because Qi Zhengyun was "dizzy" on the stairs However, after taking a look at Qi Zhengyun, he still didn't say it in the end.

"Then I'm leaving." He said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm going to be late for class..." He took a few steps back as he spoke, turned around when he reached the edge of the stairs, and went downstairs hesitantly.On the way, he turned his head twice, and the figure turned back a few seconds after disappearing, looking uncertainly at the two people who seemed to be confronting each other at the door, "Aunt Zhou?" There was a little more vigilance in his voice, "Is there something wrong?" Do you want me to take out the trash?"

Qi Zhengyun heard that Lu You began to suspect that his "guest" was not a good person.The woman seemed to wake up suddenly, and immediately smiled covertly. "No, no, no, I just threw it away in the morning." She said, "Yuyou, go to school quickly, it's not good to be late." She let go of her hand on the doorknob, pushed the door a little further, and finally calmed down. The tone that came down greeted Qi Zhengyun: "Please come in."
