Face-slapping the fox demon and the righteous monk (1.1)

Upon returning to the vast space, Zhou Xu guessed that this time, he might be able to talk with the shadow. If time allowed, it could amount to two sentences.

Thinking like that, Zhou Xu also felt it a little lamentable. However, before he had time to think further, the shadow appeared.

The man was dressed in military uniform, and his appearance was bright, just as he had seen last time.

His eyes were full of deep emotion, and he gazed steadily at Zhou Xu saying, "Xiao Xu, wait for me."

After saying this, the man disappeared, leaving only Zhou Xu. His heart stopped for a second.

He could clearly feel the love the man had for him. This love made Zhou Xu, who had already transmigrated through numerous worlds, feel the way one does when they find shore after being lost at sea.

It was similar to how a person who'd stood strong for a long time, suddenly had his mother ask him, "Child, are you okay?". It was this sentence that made the strong shell that had been holding up for a long time, break down instantly. And then, the person will either cry, their tears falling like rain, or turn to leave, because they couldn't bear to show their vulnerability. However, no matter when or where, this kind of love was the one most able to break through one's heart, making even cold hard ice melt to a puddle of warm water.

Zhou Xu acted as though he was in a daze, before lowering his head and laughing. He discovered that recently, he was often inexplicably moved . This was completely different from his original temperament, and he mocked himself slightly in his heart for a while before entering the next world.

In one of the high-end hospital wards of Noah Star, the general woke up once again.

He instantly left the bed, sitting in front of the hypercomputer and once again opened the camera shot from that time. The general discovered that there was indeed a person missing, though he still could not remember who that person was. However, the general had ways to find out. It was precisely because he had liked Zhou Xu since he was young that he had his own way to record such a scene.

He rapidly connected to his personal computer, the general opened the D-disk of his archaic laptop. He once again opened the "favorite" folder inside, and a screen full of photos appeared.

That's right, the general planned to use this kind of ancient method to record every aspect of him and Zhou Xu.

In this world, people pretty much use things like cameras, and also seldom use laptops. Their computers were incredibly fast. For recordings, they could directly go to the interstellar virtual world to find the scene of a certain day, and even browse through how they grew up.

Despite being recordings, the scenes were really lifelike. They could even experience the scene's mood and atmosphere. Due to this it gradually replaced cameras, becoming Noah Star's best way to conserve memories.

However, as there was nobody on scene, there was also no way to verify that the recording system had not been tampered with.

The general did not bother about this kind of thing for now, instead, he opened his own photo library. The pictures inside were copied from the cameras immediately after they were taken, so there was no chance of mishap.

Nobody knew that the general was preparing those photos. He intended to print these photos the evening before that day, making a notebook to confess to Zhou Xu. Although it was a little old-fashioned, it could at least demonstrate the general's affection.

However, nobody would have thought that Zhou Xu would transmigrate, and that he, in order to grab onto Zhou Xu, would also transmigrate.

Truthfully, talking about all this was useless, so the general decided to find some clues first. After all, he didn't know if he would faint again afterwards, nor if Zhou Xu would experience another world. Fortunately, Zhou Xu's lover had always been him, if not, the general felt that he would have drowned in the vinegar.

Found it! Why couldn't he recall it?

Sitting down, the general closed his eyes to ponder.

That person's appearance was not bad, he was really handsome. Though he was a little thin, however, no matter how thin he was, he was still handsome. However, his eyes were abnormal, because while everyone from Noah Star in the photos had dark eyes, this person's pupils were red.

The general was sure that this was not caused by his camera, because his camera was about the size of a pinhole. When the general put it on his badge of his hat, it couldn't be seen at all, as it was too small.

Although this thing was tiny, several hundreds of years ago, it was considered really good, as it could automatically eliminate red eyes, when the light was not sufficient, it could automatically compensate, and also it wouldn't have the effect of a flash.

The general was certain that he knew that person. But why couldn't he remember?

Since this was the case, then he should start from the beginning.

His birth happened without a hitch, and his parents were really happy.

Zhou Xu was born after he started forming memories. At that time, he didn't know that he would come to love this soft meat dumpling, he only knew he really liked to tease him.

Later, he entered school and started to be busy. Zhou Xu also started to walk.

The him at that time would always carry a candy, because Zhou Xu liked them, and then?

Right, one time at an amusement park, Zhou Xu was separated from his parents. He happened to see him, and held Zhou Xu's hands. Zhou Xu wasn't afraid anymore, but he never loosened his grip.

The two played for a while, and then Zhou Xu's parents and his two older brothers finally found them.

Right, one of Zhou Xu's brothers was called Zhou Yang, and the other Zhou Hao. The general and the two of them were friends.

Since they were little, he and Zhou Yang attended school together.

Wait!

Where did Zhou Hao come from? Why doesn't the general have any memory of him from before the incident? But then why did he remember that Zhou Hao was Zhou Xu's big brother?

Once again trying to remember Zhou Hao's appearance, the general roughly understood.

He wanted to search for evidence, and at the same time look for a method to save Zhou Xu, but his mind became foggy.

The general could only rapidly save the discovered clues before he fainted again. In that way, he wouldn't have to look for them again the next time he woke up.
