I Want Her to Aid My Cultivation

Xia Wen is currently feeling quite depressed.

Although the movie had been going on for almost an hour, she had no interest in watching it at all, and instead focused all her attention on Bai Zhi, who was sitting across the aisle.

As the saying goes, "the mission is accomplished but the soldier dies before it even begins," she, as a wingman, hadn't even played the slightest role before she was declared dead.

For more than an hour after the movie started, Bai Zhi and the White-haired loli chatted happily with each other. If it weren't for the loli being handcuffed and having a rather sensitive identity, the scene could be considered harmonious.

However, given that one side Anomaly, the concept of harmony simply doesn't apply.

Xia Wen was very curious about one thing: what exactly did Bai Zhi and that Anomaly Girl?

"We're talking about the Three Kingdoms."

Just as Xia Wen had already mentally conjured up a lengthy treatise of hundreds of thousands of words, enough to fill dozens of notebooks, Bai Zhi's voice came through the earpiece.

Slightly shocked, Xia Wen turned her head and, across the aisle, saw Bai Zhi gesturing to her with the earphones she had previously given to "Lin Xiaoyi".

"Xia Wen, right? Please keep today's events a secret. It's best not to let these Urban Legend affect common people."

"Wait, you should know it is..."

"Borrowed Face Grudge, a kind of Anomaly that isn't particularly harmful. Lin Xiaoyi was drugged and knocked unconscious in her Dormitory, and then she took the other person's identity. The main target was me."

Bai Zhi's tone was calm.

"Now that I have subdued her, there is no need to be afraid."

"I'm not scared, but as for subduing things... why are you keeping such a dangerous thing?"

"I want her to help me with my spiritual practice."

"..."

Xia Wen glanced at the White-haired loli sitting listlessly in a chair, swinging her legs, with a coat over her lap and handcuffs on her wrists, and remained silent.

Perhaps due to her rich life experience, coupled with the fact that the scene of the White-haired loli being handcuffed was so suggestive, she found it difficult to connect the image to anything serious for the time being.

Spiritual practice... how can I help you in your practice? By trying to disrupt your concentration?

Xia Wen suddenly had a new idea for a notebook.

"There's also an Anomaly at the Movie Theater. Remember not to rush out of the Projection Hall, or you might be replaced by a character from the movie."

Perhaps not wanting to dwell on the matter of the White-haired loli, the other person simply said that and then changed the subject.

"Will they be replaced by characters in movies?"

Looking up at the large screen in front of him, Xia Wen's lips twitched slightly.

"I've hardly ever encountered anything like this before, so why am I running into so many Anomaly lately? I just... did it a few days ago..."

"Stand User are attracted to each other, and the same applies to Player and Anomaly."

The other party responded quite calmly.

"Therefore, it's best for common not to get too close to people like us, otherwise they'll encounter Anomaly one after another like you. While it's not impossible for common to survive encountering Anomaly, the risks are too high. Each encounter is almost a matter of life and death, let alone encountering them repeatedly."

"Player... wait, so you did break up with them, directly or indirectly, so as not to involve them?"

Feeling that one of his deductions had been confirmed, Xia Wen's eyes lit up.

What the other person said made some sense. After all, before getting involved in the other person's affairs, she had basically never encountered such strange things. But because of her best friend Lin Xiaoyi, she was passively drawn into matters concerning the other person, and in a short period of time, she had already encountered several Anomaly Incident.

The closer you are to the other party, the more dangerous it is for you.

Just like the sun, the sun can bring warmth to people, but the closer you get to the sun, the more you will be burned by the heat it emits, even though this is not what the sun wants.

The other party's voluntary distancing is the greatest protection they can offer.

Regardless of the seven ex-girlfriends he had dated and broken up with before, or his best friend Lin Xiaoyi, his attitude remained unchanged.

So that's probably why he took Lin Xiaoyi to eat at a roadside stall at that time, right?

At that time, she didn't understand the deeper meaning at all and thought the other person was a fool. Her Best Friend didn't understand either, but in fact, the other person had already expressed the exact meaning through their actions.

... These are the true people who bear the burden in the darkness!!!

Thinking of this, Xia Wen inexplicably felt that the other person's figure had grown even taller.

... Breakup? What breakup?

What on earth is this guy imagining now?

For some reason, Bai Zhi felt a slight toothache.

"... Think whatever you want, but remember what I just said. If you don't want to get inexplicably caught up in some Anomaly and lose your life again, then you'd better stay away from people like us."

Out of kindness, Bai Zhi still gave the other party a slight reminder.

Although the number of Anomaly emerging around the world is constantly increasing, the situation is not yet critical. At least for now, there are still Players can control the situation, and the existence of Player remains a secret.

Becoming Player grants the ability to fight against Anomaly, but it also places you in constant danger. The saying that Player and Anomaly are mutually attracted is not just a joke.

Therefore, most Player choose to live alone or move out of their homes after obtaining official Player Qualification, so as not to involve their family members because of their own reasons.

--But Bai Zhi is now free of all attachments.

He used to have an Orphanage as his home, but now that the Orphanage is gone, he doesn't have many concerns anymore.

The reason Bai Zhi proactively reminded them was that if they continued to pester him, they would most likely become a burden and a stumbling block on his road to success...
