Chapter 66 - Query
Yi Bing suddenly turned his head and looked outside the window. He can only see the blue sky and the sea of clouds. "What's wrong?" he heard Hai Ba asked.
Yi Bing turned back. "It's nothing." He answered. "How long will fixing my wristwatch take?" he asked. Earlier, his wristwatch was scratched by the Soul Eater zombie. Thus, its battery malfunctioned.
"It's ti and space function malfunctioned, thus I had to fix it, too." Sha Jiu said. "The ti and space are already unstable. Our device serves as our protection.. Fortunately for you, you safely returned here. Else, who knows where will you reach?" he said as he resud fixing his watch.
"Please finish it as soon as possible." Yi Bing said and left before Sha Jiu could answer.
Sha Jiu frowned, but nonetheless continued his job. "What's he so hurried for?" he asked.
"I heard from San Di that Yi Bing's current assignnt is… too unique." Hai Ba said. "He said he's Yi Bing's boyfriend." He added.
Sha Jiu almost added another scratch on Yi Bing's wristwatch. "Damn it – " he cursed. "That block of ice has a lover? He can feel emotion?!" he asked, shocked.
"Well, we know San Di's words aren't credible…" Hai Ba scratched his cheek.
"Achoo!" Di San sneezed in front of his computer. "Ah, damn it. Did I catch a cold?" he muttered.
"I will give you one if you won't answer my question honestly." A voice Di San is too familiar with spoke behind him.
"Poof!" Di San imdiately turned to a ball of soul.
"If you want to beco a snow ball, then run." Yi Bing said and raised his hand.
"AAAH! Stop! Stop!" Di San scread. "Don't thrash our office and turn it into a snowfield!" he told him. He knows the extent of Yi Bing's power. "Let's talk nicely. We can talk this out. What do you want to know?" he asked.
"Why is there a Soul Eater in the Special World #301?" Yi Bing asked, referring to the Special World he and Qi Shan are in.
"WHAT?!" Di San imdiately turned back to his human form and walked towards Yi Bing. "A Soul Eater appeared there?! How - ?" he was stunned.
Yi Bing's brows knit. "You don't know?" he asked.
"If I did, I would have already warned you!" Di San said as he paced back and forth. "I have to tell Gu Shi!" he said and imdiately wrote a mail to Gu Shi.
Yi Bing watched him finish what he's doing before he asked again. "What is happening to my current assignnt – Huo Ling?" he asked.
"Hii!" Di San was surprised and he slowly turned to Yi Bing. "W-what do you an?" he asked.
Yi Bing clicked his tongue. "He seed to rember his past life." He said.
"… please be specific."
"He rembered what a Soul Eater is." Yi Bing said. Di San fell silent. "You know sothing." He said.
Di San looked at him then scratched his head. "I'm at a loss here." He said and sat on his seat. "First, Soul Eaters reappeared in our world. Then, it also appeared in your world." He sighed as he opened the minutes of their latest eting. "I have told you before, right?" he turned to Yi Bing. "The world you're in is a Special World. We don't know what exactly would happen in it. That's why things might go strange in there. Just take the Soul Eater as an example." He sighed. "So, about your assignnt… there must be sothing in that world that affects him." He explained.
Yi Bing fell silent. "He shouldn't rember." He said.
Di San nodded. "Old lady ng's soup is potent. Each soul bathed in the Rain of Forgetfulness. Your assignnt, indeed, should have no recollections of his past life." He said.
Yi Bing didn't feel relieved in the slightest. Instead, he worried more of Huo Ling's condition. "I'm leaving." He told Di San.
"Okay." Di San watched Yi Bing disappeared and he sighed in relief.
Yi Bing went to the R&D and picked up his watch. "This should be stable now?" he asked.
"Of course!" Sha Jiu crossed his arms.
"Then, I'll be going." He said and tapped on his wristwatch. He closed his eyes, before he opened them again. However, when he saw what's before him, he felt like his eyes failed him. "What… are you doing?" he asked when he saw Qi Shan. A statue was in front of him. He could feel it was Huo Ling. "What… did you do to him?" he asked, his voice low and his ice scythe appeared in his hand.
"0001?!" Qi Shan exclaid in shock when he turned and saw Yi Bing arrived. "Wait, 0001! I can explain - !" he said. However, Yi Bing already moved to attack him.
Lei Shan imdiately blocked Yi Bing. "Out of the way." Yi Bing said and kicked Lei Shan.
"Lei Shan!" Qi Shan called when he saw Lei Shan's body hit the wall and the wall collapsed on him. He imdiately ran towards Lei Shan, only to stop when the blade of Yi Bing's scythe appeared before him.
"Release him." Yi Bing said, his eyes are glowing deep blue.
"Can't you listen to first?" Qi Shan turned to Yi Bing after he felt Lei Shan was fine. He just broke so boned from Yi Bing's kick. Yi Bing is really ruthless.
"Your life will depend according to your answer." Yi Bing said.
Qi Shan stared at Yi Bing. "When you left, I asked him so questions to test his mories. At first, he acted normal. Then, he beca confused until his body suddenly was afla." He explained. "The fire spread, thus I had to wrap him up to prevent the fire from spreading." He finished.
Yi Bing looked at Qi Shan to see if he was lying. Then, he retracted his scythe and released Qi Shan's leg he froze. Qi Shan imdiate ran towards Lei Shan despite his cold and stiff legs. He may have forgotten his mories of his lover, but his affection remained. It was engraved in his soul. He thought and walked towards Huo Ling. "Release him. I'll deal with his fire." He told Qi Shan.
Qi Shan's brow twitched. If he doesn't know Yi Bing's abstinent persona, he would think sothing entirely different from Yi Bing's words. He snapped his fingers and the soil covering Huo Ling started to disappear.
However, who would have guessed that only the soil on the surface was fine. The soil underneath had lted – turning into mud! "Huo Ling!" Yi Bing called when he saw the familiar flas of Huo Ling. They were burning fiercely! He took out his scythe. However, he was surprised to see the ice blade of his scythe lted when it touched Huo Ling's fla! "Huo Ling!" he called.
"0001!" Qi Shan cried out in shock when he saw Yi Bing directly touched Huo Ling! Yi Bing… he was surprisingly burned!
