winter era

Chapter 187 The Return
There are no sound and light effects, no messy products.It was as smooth as pushing open a bedroom door, and there was no extra movement for Li Lin to think.Just bought that room subconsciously and looked at the man.

"...you're late, but not too late."

A tattered black robe was draped over his thin body. Although there was no air flow, the erratic shadows seemed to dance with some invisible things.But the man's figure, which could be blown down by a gust of wind like a bamboo pole, stood tall and straight.Like a steel drill nailed into the earth, no force can shake him.

His two hands were folded together, like two dying Populus euphratica branches that had been tortured by pain and disaster, resting on the pitch-black wooden staff.The fitting texture is as if the wooden staff is not the wooden staff full of bone tumors, but is an extension of the man's palm, with the dark gray stone staff head resting on the plush carpet on the ground .Maybe a work of art that can no longer be valued by money in the outside world may not be as good as a little coffee in the eyes of that person.

That's right, a cup of coffee suspended between the two of them.The gradually tumbling black liquid inside the translucent bottle proves that this little thing is indeed coffee that has disappeared for an unknown number of years and can only be artificially imitated.

"Before the world was destroyed, the imperial army found a kind of coffee beans in the southern jungle. The natives used a special method to bury the coffee beans in the soil for roasting, so that the taste of the secondary processed product was incomparably mellow. According to the words of those natives, doing that is like giving birth to a new creature. I think you will like the smell of this sun."

He didn't say anything to Li Linduo, just like inviting an old friend to come and play.With an unconcealable tiredness and excitement on his face, the man pulled out the chair next to the table - Li Lin couldn't confirm whether the table and chair existed since he appeared or when the man stretched out his hand, his The concept seemed to be so confused that he still didn't know when the coffee was filled in the cup and landed on the table—gesturing the pastor to sit opposite him.

Elegant, powerful, nonchalant.It seems that Li Lin's subjective thoughts are completely ignored, and he talks about his own things.And Li Lin was manipulated by him like a puppet to come to that gorgeous table, waiting for everything to come.

"Sorry, little priest. I forgot that you people are used to incense."

It seemed that he had just recalled a memory, and this person's face became a little embarrassed.As if to prove something, he stood up again and stuffed a handful of incense into the incense burner on the table.The tranquil and ethereal smell enveloped the entire room in a haze in just a short while.This made Li Lin, who hadn't enjoyed it for many years, relax a little.

Although he has been trying to recall the relationship between the incense and the incense burner, he has never had the memory of those two things appearing on the table.It was as if the man stretched out his hand, and the incense and incense burner appeared there naturally.And it was destined to be there a long, long time ago.And then again, even the memory on the desktop itself was blurry, and Li Lin couldn't even think of anything more.

When did you start to step into this banquet?Since when did these things start appearing?

He didn't know what kind of scenery around him, as if he didn't have this concept in his mind at all.A kind of vague inexplicable feeling, as if something was blocking Li Lin's brain was extremely tangled.

"Don't be surprised or puzzled by this, because it's all meaningless."

As if seeing through Li Lin's thinking, the man sitting opposite him tore open a bag of sugar sticks, poured them into the coffee slowly.And it seems that it's not just sugar bars, but milky white milk is poured in at the same time.After a few things are mixed into the coffee, the bitter and mellow taste of the original coffee is quickly washed away, leaving only a little sweet taste.

"Although they always say that coffee should drink the original taste, but I don't think that's better. Personally, I'm a sweet tooth pie, so I hate bitter coffee... I don't want a pack of sugar Is it?"

"Well, no, thank you..."

"Really? What a pity." The man shrugged. "Then let's talk about serious business."

There is no doubt that it was suppressed in all directions.Li Lin could only sit obediently on the high chair he was supposed to sit on, leaning forward slightly, with an expression of listening on his face.Even if they both knew that it was meaningless, Li Lin still tended to the peaceful and harmonious line because of the problems of education and habits.At least that's the only way to do it when the enemy is strong.

"In general, this is my thinking space, but it's just a thinking space that can interfere with reality. In this thinking space, I have the abilities and ideas of my heyday, and what I do is the same s things."

Turning the knife and fork to chew on the tender and juicy steak, the man said vaguely.

Exactly when the steak was placed on the table, when the man picked up the knife and fork, or even when their conversation began are mysteries.Li Lin can be sure that there is absolutely no memory of these things in his mind.Instead, it keeps jumping blankly, just like the thinking of a bug.

"Everything here, including space, time, matter, and spirit, is created according to my ability. For me, time is already a meaningless thing, and countless hours can pass in the blink of an eye. But it is very regrettable Unfortunately, I was not a very good partner for those sages, so I became what I am now. I have been divided into knowledge, my memory has been sealed, my soul has been imprisoned, and even my body is casually Running out really gave me a headache."

"But you don't have to worry about anything."

Seeing Li Lin's appearance, the young man took a sip of the red wine and said softly, "Because you are still my body, even if you try to run out from here to break free from the confinement on your body, I have nothing to say. "
