Chapter 47: You say, is it all a coincidence?

As night falls, the moonlight shines like frost in the quiet and eerie camp.
A bonfire released light and heat, bringing a hint of warmth to Guisheng.

He took down a lot of supplies from the slime cargo balloon.

Now the meat is being grilled.

According to him, the mission content was wrong anyway, so it was okay to use these supplies and he could report them as losses later.

The other three chatted for a while and then went back to their own business.

Wang Hao and Xingqiu were practicing standing meditation, which was their daily routine.

During today’s standing practice, the two of them were talking quietly in low voices, glancing at Guisheng from time to time.

Chongyun was busying around the campfire, and no one knew what he was doing.

Soon, as the flames burned, wisps of barbecue aroma began to waft around.

"Gudong~"

Wang Hao swallowed his saliva and said, "I'm a little hungry."

After traveling for such a long time and fighting several times, he was indeed exhausted.

"It smells so good." Xingqiu also put away his pole frame and breathed in and out.

The two walked towards the campfire.
Gui Sheng saw the two people coming and quickly called them, "Come and try it. This is meat specially provided by Qianyan Army. It is not only delicious, but also very nutritious."

Wang Hao and Xingqiu took the barbecue without hesitation and sniffed it gently. The aroma rushed straight to their noses.

My appetite has been well whetted.

"Chongyun, stop busying yourself and come and have dinner." Xingqiu shouted to the young alchemist who was busy outside.

Chongyun waved his hand: "You guys eat, I have dry food."

[Puchi, poor Chongyun, he can't eat hot food. ]

[Do you understand the value of the pure yang body? 】

[I have already published the Pure Yang Body, but there are still people who don’t understand…]

【What don’t you understand? 】

[Not eating barbecue doesn’t necessarily mean it’s because of the pure yang body. 】

【World famous painting, Chongyun is eating cold noodles. 】

The comments were full of laughter, and it was obvious that they knew Chongyun couldn't eat hot food.

But some comments seemed to have figured out something.

On the other side, Xingqiu was still persuading Chongyun to eat barbecue.

Wang Hao was holding the barbecue and sitting next to Gui Sheng.

"Have you offended anyone in Hutchison Hall?" Wang Hao suddenly asked.

Gui Sheng's face turned pale, he thought for a moment, and then shook his head: "No, I'm just a transporter, how could I offend anyone."

Wang Hao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Gui Sheng looked at Wang Hao: "Why don't you eat?"

He clearly said he was hungry just now, but now he is holding the barbecue and not eating it. Guisheng feels a little strange.

Wang Hao did not answer Gui Sheng's question, but asked another question: "Do you remember when you set out?"

"Of course it was three days ago." Gui Sheng answered without hesitation.

"What date was it three days ago?" Wang Hao asked again.

Gui Sheng was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "It seems to be April 15th?"

After hearing these words, Wang Hao was completely certain of his guess.

He nodded calmly to Xingqiu and Chongyun who were still arguing about whether to eat barbecue in the distance.

"Gui Sheng, do you know what day it is today?" Wang Hao suddenly said coldly.

Gui Sheng was puzzled: "Isn't it number 18?"

The cold expression on Wang Hao's face became more and more solemn, and his hand had already touched the spear on the side: "I'm sorry, Guisheng, today is May 3rd."

Although practicing martial arts in the mountains made Wang Hao's concept of time a little blurred.

But by coincidence, he had just received a letter from Ningguang the day before yesterday.

Ningguang's letter to Wang Hao was dated April 1st, and it would take about a month to get from Liyue Harbor to Chenyu Valley, although the time was not fixed. But Wang Hao remembered that when he received the letter, he specifically asked the Third Master, and it was May 1st.

After resting in Wangshan Hall for one night, Wang Hao and Xingqiu went down the mountain on May 2.
I met Guisheng after walking in the mountains for a day.

So, it is the night of May 3rd.

The time doesn't match what Guisheng said at all.

"??? What? How is that possible? I've only been out for three days, how could it be May already?" Gui Sheng still looked incredulous.

At this time, Chongyun and Xingqiu also came back.

"Did you guess right?" Xingqiu asked curiously. The barbecue in his hand had become a little cold, but he did not move. He looked at Guisheng with a serious look in his eyes.

Wang Hao nodded: "Yeah."

Chongyun looked solemn: "It is indeed the case."

"What? What are you talking about?" Gui Sheng was about to collapse.

"You are the source of the change, Guisheng," Chongyun said.

【? ? What happened? Why can’t I understand? 】

[I don't understand either, how come Gui Sheng is the source of the mutation? ]

[I skipped the plot? That's not right. You can't skip the plot in Genshin Impact. ]

[You wouldn't understand it if I didn't skip the plot. 】

【Wang Hao, please explain it to us quickly. 】

[What kind of explanation is that? Chongyun said before that he felt very comfortable around Guisheng. Have you forgotten what Chongyun's physique is? ]

[The pure Yang body brings the pain of burning heat. Chongyun will only feel comfortable in an extremely cold environment. He feels comfortable when close to Guisheng, which means that Guisheng is very 'cold']

[Under normal circumstances, what kind of people would feel cold? Dead people would feel cold, evil spirits would feel cold, and the resentment of demons would feel cold! ]

The comments were all confused, but someone who had already seen the problem came out to answer immediately.

Another person who was confused was Gui Sheng.

"What source? What are you talking about, Young Master Chongyun? I don't understand." Gui Sheng looked confused and a little frightened.

Obviously, he was a little scared by the sudden change of attitude of Wang Hao and others.

“……” Chongyun was silent for a while, then glanced at Wang Hao.

Wang Hao waved his hand, indicating that you should speak first.

“Half a month ago, a clerk from Hutchison Hall was attacked and killed here. Later, strange things happened one after another, causing the Qianyan Army to withdraw.

This matter has caused a lot of uproar in Qiaoying Village. After all, this is an important port leading to Yilong Port.

But Guisheng, you work in Qiaoyingzhuang but you don’t know anything. This is not normal.

In addition, as far as I know, after the Qianyan Army evacuated, the intersection outside was blocked, Guisheng, you should not be here. "

As Chongyun spoke, wisps of cold air emerged at his fingertips, as if he was about to attack at the next moment.

Gui Sheng's face was pale, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't know what to say.

Wang Hao sighed slightly and said, "When you met us, you said that Hutchison Hall was delivering supplies to the Qianyan Army. I felt something was wrong. The Qianyan Army camp was close to the river port, but you were attacked on the mountain road we came from. Normally, you couldn't have walked to that place. That's not where you should have gone. You went too far."

"Also, during the attack, the goods were surrounded by the Hillichurs, but you were only in disarray, and the Hillichurs didn't attack you. I thought you were lucky at the time, but now it seems that the Hillichurs didn't even want to attack you, because in their eyes, maybe you are not a human being."

"This, this... maybe I got lost. Is there any reason why the Hillichul people didn't attack me?" Gui Sheng still had a pale face and defended himself.

Wang Hao's eyes darkened slightly, and he clenched the spear in his hand: "Of course, these two reasons are nothing. The most important thing is that the time I asked you just now was completely wrong."

Gui Sheng's face gradually became confused: "Time?"

"That's right, the time doesn't match. You said you've been out for three days, and you came out in mid-April, but now it's already May."

The spear in Wang Hao's hand gradually emitted a cold light.

"According to Chongyun, the Qianyan Army has evacuated half a month ago, and the Hutchison Hall has also stopped transporting supplies. You set out exactly half a month ago. Half a month ago, a guy from the Hutchison Hall died here. Your sense of time is still messed up. You say...are these all coincidences?"

"There is only one possibility. You are already dead and your memory remains at the time of death. That is why you are completely out of sync with time."

After Wang Hao finished speaking, Gui Sheng's face turned pale.

Because, when all coincidences are combined together, they are no longer coincidences.
