I am a god in the secret world

Chapter 90: Expired Sugar

"Hello, are you Wang Siyao? I am Gu Baixue's elementary school classmate. I just found out today that Gu Baixue has passed away. Where is her grave? I would like to go and pay my respects."

Baicha sent a text message.

She memorized the phone number through playing games. She didn't have any other talents except that her memory was better than that of ordinary people.

Generally speaking, people won’t change their mobile phone numbers easily after they start working.

Soon, Bai Cha received a call.

"Hello, I'm Wang Siyao."

The voice of the girl on the other side sounds exactly the same as the voice in the copy.

"Hello, I'm Gu Baixue's elementary school classmate. I had a good relationship with her family when I was young, but later my family moved away... I just came back this year and wanted to contact her to see if she was still there, but I heard that she had passed away."

Bai Cha spoke in a low voice, with a hint of disbelief.

"How could she die at such a young age?"

Wang Siyao was silent for two seconds and sighed.

"It was a homicide, but the murderer has never been found."

"Do you want to pay your respects to her? Then go directly to her house. The combination lock of their house is set with her birthday. The ashes of all her family members are kept at home. They didn't buy a cemetery."

Bai Cha was stunned.

"Why? No, is there no one at home?"

"Well... her mother passed away many years ago, and her father died unexpectedly seven days before her death..."

When talking about this incident, Wang Siyao's tone became even more depressed. The tragedy happened to a family, as if it had specifically chosen this family.

"But how can I explain this matter? It's actually very strange, with many strange things. Maybe she had a premonition of something before she died. She sent us a message saying that she hoped to place the ashes of her family members at home, since there was no one at home anyway..."

Wang Siyao sighed again.

"Her father left a sum of money. We checked and found that there were only a few distant relatives left in her family. So in the end, several of us roommates helped her to set up a legal account. The money was put into a fund for her. A portion of it would be taken out every month to hire someone to help clean up their house, including house repairs, etc."

"Anyway, they have their own independent yard. If you want to go, just go directly to their house. You know where their house is, right?"

Of course Bai Cha didn't know.

But this is reality, and we won’t be as cautious as in the game.

"I can't remember clearly, can you send it to me again? I think her birthday is December 12.28th?"

"Yes, I'll text you the address directly." Wang Siyao did not doubt it. After all, the person had been dead for more than a year, and it was a girl's voice, so she certainly wouldn't think too much about it.

Even though the other party never revealed his name from beginning to end.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Cha packed his luggage.

Gu Baixue's home is in a county town in City C. In fact, she wanted to say this when she was in the game.

This is quite close to her home. Her family lives in City D, and there is a high-speed rail in the local area. It only takes 20 minutes to travel between the two cities by high-speed rail. If I remember correctly, my mother is from City C.

Bai Cha paused slightly while packing her luggage.

So are these coincidences?
Not like.

But no matter what the truth is, there is still a long way to go and there is no rush.

After Bai Cha had packed up everything, he carefully preserved the hawthorn branch, went out to get some soil and water, found a special box to put it in, and pierced holes in it for ventilation.

Hawthorn branches can be directly propagated by cuttings, although it is summer now, which is not a good time for cuttings.

But since it is clearly stated in the game's introduction that this hawthorn branch will wither slower than ordinary hawthorn branches in reality, it should be able to survive.

Even if she couldn't survive, she had tried her best.

She didn't like owing favors to anyone. Father Gu gave all his power to her. Maybe he just regarded her as a support, but no matter what, she was indeed the biggest beneficiary.

Therefore, she didn't plan to take this A-level prop.

Gu Baixue's house is a detached courtyard, so this news is better for her, as it means there is a place to plant hawthorn trees.

At first she just thought of finding a vase to get some water until the hawthorn branches withered on their own.

After all, she tried her best to bring him back.

After buying a ticket, Baicha went out.

The university she attended in City B was also close to City C, and they were in the same province. According to the address sent by Wang Siyao, Bai Cha arrived at Gu Baixue's home at around 2 p.m.

The combination lock on the door was indeed her birthday.

The yard was very clean, and you could tell someone had come to clean it; there were no weeds.

There is a tree on the left, I don’t know what kind of tree it is, it’s dead.

There was also a faucet in the yard. Bai Cha went to get some water, found an open space next to the dead tree, and planted the hawthorn branches.

She didn't quite understand these things, so she just followed the methods she got from Baidu.

The weather was still quite hot, but she had chosen an angle specifically so that the shadow of the dead tree next to her could be cast over her during the hottest period of time.

As for what happens next...she doesn't care.

Baicha stood up and lowered her eyes to look at the white petals on the hawthorn branches swaying slightly in the sunlight and wind.

It is indeed different from ordinary hawthorn trees. Even in such a hot day, and since she brought them from another city, the flowers did not wilt at all.

Besides, it's not the time for flowers to bloom.

I hope I can grow up.

Bai Cha took a look inside the room, but had no intention of going in. She just planted the hawthorn branch and wanted to leave.

However, there was a sudden noise in the house, as if something had fallen to the ground.

It was the middle of summer, but a cold wind seemed to have suddenly appeared.

Bai Cha turned around and looked at the two-story building in the yard. After hesitating for a moment, he walked over.

The styles of these self-built bungalows in several nearby cities are similar.

Pushing open the door of the main room, you will see the living room. There is a row of cabinets against the wall, and three portraits are placed in the middle.

The one on the left is Gu Baixue. That should be when she was in college. She was in very good shape then, smiling brightly, and was much prettier than her later image as a corporate slave who was struggling to pay off her debts.

It's just black and white.

The one on the right is Mother Gu. She looks like a very gentle person, and the curve of her smile is the same as Gu Baixue’s.

But Gu Baixue's features still look more like his father's.

The photo of Mr. Gu in the middle was taken when he was much younger.

He did not drown in that rainy day, and his face did not become swollen and pale.

Bai Cha withdrew his gaze from the three photos and glanced around the room.

Everything in the house is covered with white cloth, after all, dust will accumulate.

The thing that just fell was a plate that had fallen over on the coffee table.

There was also a cloth covering the coffee table, I don't know how it fell off.

Bai Cha walked forward and picked up the plate on the ground.

Under the upside-down plate, lying on the cold concrete floor, was a mint candy.

Bai Cha froze.

After a long moment, she carefully put the plate back under the cloth and picked up the mint candy again.

This is reality, this is not a prop.

This is someone else's home, not her home.

But she held the mint candy for a while, then carefully tore it open.

The mint candy has melted a little in the hot summer and is a bit sticky to the packaging.

Bai Cha put the mint candy into his mouth expressionlessly.

Hmm... expired... has a smell.

But it's still sweet and cool.

She took one last, deep look at the three photos on the table, then turned and left.
