However, the moment her palm touched the old man's shoulder, Caroline's brain suddenly seemed to explode, and a strange scene flashed before her eyes.

The white bed, covered with white sheets, looked like this old man. He seemed to be dead, and he was in the ward... And beside him, there was a middle-aged man with a complicated expression, and a little boy who was crying.

.

"You...you will die." Caroline murmured to herself.

She suddenly shuddered and woke up. She saw the old man looking up at her in shock. Caroline quickly said: "That's not what I meant, I just...just..."

"Maybe." The old man shook his head, thoughtfully, "Maybe if I had died back then..."

"I mean, from now on you..." Caroline finally swallowed her words.

The old man also stood up, put on his hat, and turned around to leave. Caroline turned to his back and said, "How about you go home later?"

The old man carried Caroline on his back and waved goodbye.

…

After Caroline watched the old man leave completely, she walked back listlessly along the same route. Maybe she could get back to the dormitory before Arnold came back from get out of class.

She didn't stop along the way, but when she reached the downstairs of the dormitory, she entered a convenience store and bought a bottle of beer. The money was taken from the table in the dormitory. It was just some loose money, which probably only bought a bottle of beer.

appearance.

When Caroline walked out of the convenience store, she saw Arnold walking by with his head lowered. Caroline wanted to call him to stop, but saw him quickly go around to the back of the convenience store.

Caroline frowned and followed quietly without saying anything.

Arnold stopped in the alley behind the convenience store, and there were several young men waiting here early... These people should be students from the school, and Caroline saw that one of them was still carrying a schoolbag.

Arnold seemed to be particularly cautious. They were talking about something, and those guys who looked like students suddenly took out the money and handed it into Arnold's hand.

After Arnold clicked on it, he took out something from his body and handed it into the hands of these students.

Caroline opened her mouth, and quickly turned away, with a bit of panic in her eyes... She suddenly turned pale, and Caroline subconsciously covered her mouth, but her fingers touched the glasses on her face.

Caroline whipped off her glasses - there were no lenses.

Arnold is short-sighted, but these glasses...

This person...is not Arnold!

…

…

Late in the evening, an old man was greeted on the stairway.

He was holding a strange black card in his hand, with a confused look on his face... He seemed to be looking for something, looking around constantly.

This old man looks clean and tidy, and his clothes should be of a good brand.

This attracted some coveted eyes in the neighborhood - although there are rules not to rob locals, in fact, many times, not many people really care about such rules.

The old man didn't know that he was following two people quietly.

His eyes suddenly brightened at this moment, and he walked towards a grocery store on the stairway - from the eyes of the two people who wanted to see the robbery, the old man was indeed walking in this direction.

"Where are the people?"

"Weren't you still there just now? Why did you disappear all of a sudden?"

"Look quickly..."

…

club.

The old man looked up at the door of the ancient shop, and then reached out to push open the pine door.

The old man was extremely surprised to see such a luxurious yet stylish shop in a slum.

I don’t know where the lights are installed, but there is bright warm light in the lobby, which is soft and not dazzling.

"How can I help you?"

The old man heard the sound and looked over. It was a woman wearing a black and white maid uniform. She was sitting quietly on a chair in the corner.

"I..." The old man subconsciously raised the black card in his hand: "It seems... it brought me here. But I can't remember when exactly this thing appeared in my hand... We,

Have we met somewhere?"

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with, Dr. French?" the club maid asked again.

The sound was not loud, but it reached the old man's ears clearly, and passed into his heart, as if it had endless magic power... Countless things flashed through the old man's mind.

The old man... Dr. French was not surprised that his name was called out in an instant. He just had an impulse in his heart.
