Li Xiu pondered in silence; the Ti Tunnel was eerie and unpredictable, sothing he had ntally prepared for. No matter what the voice said, he remained silent.
"Do you not want to sit here?" the voice spoke again.
Li Xiu listened; the voice seed like a child’s, sowhat neutral, like a girl or a prepubescent boy.
Li Xiu still didn’t speak, constantly trying to sense, yet he still couldn’t determine its location.
Since absorbing the Spirit Suppressing Stone, Li Xiu’s sensing abilities had beco stronger and stronger. If he were outside, he could distinguish its location even from a thousand miles away, and even identify its shape just through the sound.
But this voice, right in front of him, he couldn’t sense any presence at all.
"If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as consent." The voice spoke again, but this ti, it seed to appear right across from Li Xiu, as if soone had sat down facing him.
Li Xiu made up his mind; no matter what you say or do, I won’t respond.
"Do you really not want to chat with ? You might regret it," continued the voice.
After waiting a while and still not hearing Li Xiu speak, the voice sighed and said with feigned maturity, "Are you really that boring? How could I marry such a boring person?"
Li Xiu was slightly stunned, pondering, "What does this guy an? Saying sothing about marrying such a boring person. Could she have mistaken for soone else? Does she think that I am her husband sitting here? So, she can’t see either?"
At this point, Li Xiu was a bit curious. The voice sounded like a girl, fairly young. How could she possibly have a husband?
Or perhaps she just had a childlike voice, but was actually not that young, or maybe she wasn’t human at all, but a magical entity like Belona?
Li Xiu pondered silently, but suddenly heard the voice continue, "What are you doing there, standing like a fool? You can’t really think I’d mistake my own husband, can you... Li Xiu..."
Li Xiu was stunned, realizing that his earlier guesses were all incorrect. The owner of the voice not only could see him but also knew who he was.
"What is this thing, exactly? Is it a magical entity within the Ti Tunnel? Or an illusion created by the tunnel? But I don’t even have a wife, nor could I imagine sothing like this. If a demon wanted to deceive , it shouldn’t call itself my wife either..." Li Xiu mused with a frown.
"You’re quite the cautious one. Well, I guess I have to show you so proof." The voice turned sly: "On your left buttock, there are three moles, arranged in a triangle."
Li Xiu wasn’t swayed at all. It was hardly surprising that sothing mysterious in such a place knew about hidden characteristics on his body.
As if knowing Li Xiu wouldn’t be moved by this evidence, the voice continued, "After you finish peeing, you shake three tis, no more, no less; when watching romantic movies, you like fair-skinned, long legs; you use your left hand out of habit when playing gas; under your sheets, there’s a..."
"Who the hell are you?" Li Xiu’s expression shifted unpredictably.
"Why, finally willing to speak?" The voice laughed joyfully, "Didn’t I tell you, I’m your wife. Are you so dull that you couldn’t even figure this out?"
"I don’t have a wife," Li Xiu snorted coldly.
"Of course you don’t have one right now, but you will in the future." The voice laughed more happily.
"What do you an? Are you trying to tell you’re my future wife, coming back from the future to see ?" Li Xiu curled his lip and said, figuring since he had already spoken, he might as well say more.
"Finally figured it out for once." The voice sighed lightly, "How could I marry soone so dull, with no sense of fun."
"What’s your na?" Li Xiu didn’t believe the voice’s owner was really his future wife. No woman would marry a man without knowing why.
"Saying it would spoil the surprise. I think I should leave you a bit of excitent." The voice said cheerfully, "But I can give you a hint: I’m the most beautiful woman around you."
"You didn’t co here just to tell this, did you?" Li Xiu said indifferently.
"Sigh, truly a dull person." The voice seed about to say sothing else, but a train whistle interrupted.
"The Happiness Train is about to depart. Next stop, Theater of Life. Passengers yet to board, please do so imdiately..."
After the odd voice repeated itself a few tis, the little train slowly began to move.
"I originally thought you’d be a very interesting person, but now I’m disappointed." After the train started, the voice continued, "Now there’s nothing to look forward to, so let’s talk business."
"You have business?" Li Xiu asked.
"Of course, I do. Did you think I ca here just to amuse myself with you? I ca to give you an opportunity. In the not-too-distant future, you’ll face a difficult choice, one that will affect your future destiny. I’m here to let you know what to choose when you reach the crossroads of fate." The voice sounded slightly serious, but it was too youthful, like a child imitating an adult’s tone.
