Chen Ming said:
"Are you trying to look weak? You're wearing a ring. Is that your secret weapon?"
He was pretty wary.
Chen Ming's powers of observation took Wen Xishu slightly by surprise.
A faint sadness settled over Wen Xishu's eyes:
"It belonged to my wife."
Chen Ming said:
"You look... quite young."
Wen Xishu said:
"In the apocalypse, anyone could die at any moment. If you love someone, you shouldn't leave yourself any regrets."
Doctor Chen fell silent for two seconds:
"Then where is your wife?"
"Dead. Like I said, if you love someone, you shouldn't leave yourself any regrets. Otherwise... an unbridgeable gulf might open up between you."
Wen Xishu gave a self-deprecating smile. At that moment, his devotion was beyond question.
"Those who have no love have no fear. After that, these ghostly things rarely scared me anymore."
"I'll do everything I can to avoid death. If it eventually comes one day, I won't mind too much. But I'd like to know why I'm dying."
Wen Xishu knew that even a lie had to hit the right notes. There were plenty of ways to explain the ring set with the Starfall Die, but since Doctor Chen was doing this for his late wife...
He could first establish some "common ground."
Sure enough, although Doctor Chen hadn't said he would spare Wen Xishu, he was clearly interested in Wen Xishu's past.
That was how information worked. When you offered some, the other party often responded in kind.
Doctor Chen said:
"How did she die?"
Wen Xishu said:
"A guy called Sagittarius killed her. Since you've met Aquarius, you should know there are twelve people like that in total."
"But unfortunately, I won't get a chance to take revenge on Sagittarius, will I?"
Doctor Chen actually hadn't known that,
