Chapter Thirteen
"Oh? Is it? Why?" Jiang Xiao was not shocked or angry, and just asked indifferently.
"Because...just as you can't trust me completely, how dare I trust you completely?" Zhe Yu said lightly: "I don't know your name, your identity, what information you want to tell me is, how Zi Yan died, or even... whether he died."
He paused and continued, "An Yan Yan, like me, is a cadre of the college, and like me, is Zi Yan's friend. Now I just say that Zi Yan died at the hands of An Yan, and then went to kill An Yan? If what you said is true, what should I use to prove it? If what you said is false, who will compensate An Yan Yan's life?"
"No matter what information Zi Yan wants you to pass on to me, how important it is, I will not use the lives of my companions to make this big bet. So, if only by killing Dark Flame can you gain your trust... I can only express that I am sorry. Sorry."
"Okay." Jiang Xiao listened to Zhe Yu's words and smiled: "You have passed my trust test."
"Passed? Why?" Zhe Yu asked in confusion.
"Yes. It's passed." Jiang Xiao said: "If you agree directly, kill An Yan, gain my trust, and let me tell you Zi Yan's last words before his death, I don't dare to trust you very much. As you said, you can't make a promise to kill a companion in the academy without knowing anything. If you really agree in this way, then I will doubt - either you know the real cause of Zi Yan's death, or even participate in it, or you know what the information Zi Yan might tell you is. And your current reaction is the most real and normal."
"By this reaction alone? You haven't considered it. Is this a possibility that I disguised?" Zhe Yu smiled.
Jiang Xiao sighed and said, "Of course I have considered it. But... I have no other choice. Just relying on your answer is not enough to increase my trust in you to 100%, but after thinking about it, there is no way to make myself trust you 100%. So... I can only gamble, as long as the winning rate exceeds 50%, I will gamble."
"In other words, your trust in me now exceeds 50%?" Zhe Yu smiled and said, "Then tell me if Zi Yan wants you to bring me."
"Yes. Although not much, it has exceeded it." Jiang Xiao said: "But you can't say these words on the phone. Let's talk about them later when you meet."
"Okay. Do you decide the place, or do I decide the place?"
"You can decide." Jiang Xiao said: "Anyway, for you, if you really want to ambush me, then no matter where I set you, you will definitely have the ability to arrange the trap. So, just arrange it."
"Then..." Zhe Yu thought for a while: "Is it OK to have a South Stadium in Yuling University in two hours?"
"Okay. See you then."
Jiang Xiao hung up the phone, reached out and pressed his temple gently, and smiled bitterly.
He did not exaggerate on the phone, and his trust in Zheyu can only be slightly more than 50%.
And if his trust is wrong, then...
This feeling of dancing on the wire rope is really what Jiang Xiao hates the most.
He has always been very confident in his mind. But Jiang Xiao didn't want to, nor did he think that he had the ability to enter the underground world belonging to the psychics.
He just wants to rely on his own superpowers to gain some secular benefits and live a good life without being known.
No matter what the academy is secretly planning, what the An Yan, Zi Yan and others are competing for, it should have nothing to do with him!
The meaning represented by Neanderthal's bloodline is something that should have been sealed into the strata long ago!
But no matter how reluctant he was, Jiang Xiao was still involved in all this without any resistance.
In addition to Zi Yan, there is also the old Hua.
At this point, looking back at last night, Jiang Xiao was almost 90% sure that Lao Hua used some means to influence his mind.
If Jiang Xiao had made another judgment now, he would never have been able to go to Bitan Mountain, but would have to go out immediately and drive home.
If that is true, then everything that happened now will have no connection with him.
But why did Lao Hua... do this? Jiang Xiao couldn't figure it out.
And he no longer wanted to have any contact with Lao Hua or the tavern called Drinker.
Jiang Xiao’s only purpose is to end all this and bring his life back on track now.
The agreed time was two hours later, and the bath center where Jiang Xiao is now located is only half an hour away from Yuling University, the location set by Zheyu. Jiang Xiao thought about it, took a hot shower first, then set an alarm clock, and slept for a while. Because he had already explained it to the waiter in advance, no one came to disturb his rest from beginning to end.
Although the rest of about an hour was not enough to completely make up for the energy Jiang Xiao spent all night last night, it was better than nothing. By the time Jiang Xiao left, he had recovered a lot of energy.
When Jiang Xiao arrived at Yuling University, there were still ten minutes before the agreed time. He asked two students on the way and came to the roadside of the South Stadium. At this moment, two teams of students were playing improvised games in the stadium. A group of girls on the side of the field were cheering, but they could not find someone who looked like Zheyu.
Jiang Xiao slowly walked along the edge of the court, while watching secretly observing everyone passing by. Although he held the phone in his hand, he thought about it but did not call Zhe Yu again.
When the agreed time was still two minutes away, Jiang Xiao saw a figure walking out of the teaching building beside him and heading straight towards him.
The man was wearing a thin short windbreaker, a plain white scarf around his neck, and a pair of black-framed glasses. He looked about in his thirties and looked like an intellectual.
When Jiang Xiao's eyes met him, he was sure that this person was Zhe Yu.
Zhe Yu walked to Jiang Xiao, and the two stared at each other, nodding at each other, and each showed a smile.
"I am Zhe Yu. I really didn't expect that the one who asked me to meet was the famous magician Mr. Jiang Xiao." Zhe Yu stretched out his hand to Jiang Xiao: "How about it, are you satisfied with the meeting place I arranged? By the way, my external identity is a teacher in the Foreign Languages Department of Yuling University."
"Very satisfied." Jiang Xiao looked around and nodded. A game was playing on the court next to him, and a large number of students were cheering for both sides. The road beside the court is also a main road on the campus, and students or teachers pass by each other from time to time on the road. In this environment, it is impossible to fight.
Not to mention, Zhu Yu is still a teacher at this university - Jiang Xiao did not suspect that he was lying. Just now, two girls were passing by and said goodbye to Zhu Yu with a smile.
Zhe Yu's arrangement is very sincere. At least it shows his attitude - he will not have conflicts with Jiang Xiao here.
"In addition to the identity of a magician, you should have other knowledge about me. Since they are all from the academy, you should know that Zi Yan came to me a few days ago." Jiang Xiao said.
"Let's chat while walking. The scenery of our school is good." Zhe Yu nodded to Jiang Xiao, stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, and then walked forward first: "Yes, I did hear Zi Yan tell me a while ago that she discovered another person who might exist, and she was a celebrity. But she didn't expect... You are here to tell me the bad news today."
As he said that, Zhe Yu turned his head and looked at Jiang Xiao: "Are you really sure that Zi Yan is dead?"
Jiang Xiao sighed: "Confirm. Even her body was handled by me." He did not use the word burial, and thought about it, but did not tell Zheyu that somehow he had obtained some of the Zi Yan cells.
"How did she... die? You said that An Yan killed her, but I couldn't think of it. Any reason An Yan would kill Zi Yan." Zhe Yu frowned: "Their private relationship is probably better than me."
Zhe Yu raised her head and looked at Jiang Xiao, then quickly added: "Sorry, I don't trust you. It's just that this kind of thing happened...it's a little beyond my imagination."
Jiang Xiao also looked at Zhu Yu beside him and said in a deep voice: "Zi Yan... got a map about the burial place of something. The thing that can make An Yan decide to kill Zi Yan for its value. I think you should be able to think about what that is."
"Something... something?" Zhu Yu's face was puzzled for a moment, frowned and thought, and his eyes suddenly widened behind the lens: "Is it... a seed?"
Jiang Xiao nodded: "That's right. What I mentioned in their conversation last night was indeed this word. Seed. But I have never understood what this so-called seed is and what value it has, so that you all value it will pay attention to this way."
"Seed..." Zhe Yu thought for a while and smiled bitterly: "I really don't know how to explain it to you. It's just a legend, a legend that is more illusory than all the ancient myths recorded in human history. Even I myself doubt whether Zi Yan's map is real - what I said is not just whether the position of the seed she mastered is accurate, but whether the so-called seed really exists in this world."
"No matter whether the legend is true or not, at least tell me what the seed is in the legend."
