All the chaotic thoughts in his mind calmed down, and all of the things that she had been thinking about seemed to vanish without a trace in an instant. His mind, which had been blank for two seconds, returned to its normal state. Gu Linxi was somewhat unable to remember what she had been doing just now. Her face was completely devoid of blood, and she was so pale, it was as if she had contracted a serious illness.

Every single movement was seen by Xie Si's eyes. He seemed to understand the function of the Red String of Fate. Gu Linxi must have thought of something just now, and the existence of the red rope had caused her to temporarily forget about those thoughts. Although there was no way for him to enter Gu Linxi's heart to investigate, no way to find out what Gu Linxi had just thought of, Xie Siyuan had his own speculations.

With regards to Gu Linxi's thoughts, Xie Siqiang felt a bit more certain.

Although she had temporarily forgotten those thoughts and speculations, Gu Linxi was unable to muster up any interest at all. It was as if something was hidden in her heart, and she was unable to smile from beginning to end.

Furthermore, it was impossible for Xie Siqiang to accompany Gu Linxi for the rest of their meal. After they finished eating, Xie Siqian left to busy himself with his work. Sometimes, even on Saturday, he still had to work overtime for his work. Originally, he didn't want to work overtime, but he was even more worried that there wouldn't be any problems for Gu Xiangxi to be alone.

It wasn't night yet, so Gu Linxi wasn't really afraid. Although she didn't understand why that ghost wanted to kill her last night, if she thought about it carefully, she wasn't too afraid of that ghost. Perhaps it was that familiar feeling, but she was not afraid.

After they finished eating together, Gu Linxi watched Xie Siqiang leave, while she walked around the vicinity by herself. Just as she walked to the side of the road and approached a large tree, Gu Linxi suddenly halted her steps and trotted a few steps back. Not a few seconds after she jogged away, a large truck charged over from the other side of the road and crashed into the tree.

Gu Linxi was stunned by the scene before him. Even her feet seemed to be filled with lead, unable to move even half a step. If she hadn't suddenly left that position, would she have ended up like that tree? She felt extremely fortunate. Her life seemed to have been snatched away as she stood on the spot, watching as more and more people came to watch the accident.

At this moment, Gu Linxi was still in a state of shock, and couldn't hear their voices at all. Being continuously pushed back by the crowd of onlookers, Gu Linxi slowly moved away from the car, her ears still filled with the noise of the crowd. However, it was difficult for Gu Linxi to understand what those people were saying. In her own words, she was currently floating in the air, completely unaware of what had happened.

”To be able to dodge even like this, your luck is quite good.” It was unknown who said this from the crowd, but upon hearing this voice, Gu Linxi couldn't help but want to turn around and look for the owner of the voice. However, there were simply too many people here. Gu Linxi had no way of knowing who was saying this. She only had the intuition that the person who was saying this seemed to be someone she knew.

Amongst the crowd, Zhu Yitong looked at Gu Linxi with a slightly cold expression. Why hadn't she been run over to death? What a pity. Zhu Yitong thought that this was an ordinary coincidence that could also be called an accident. However, in reality, this was not an ordinary accident. Rather, it was an arrangement that came from the real world.

As long as he killed Gu Lingxi in the virtual world, the instant his body died, he would be able to completely eliminate Gu Lingxi in the process. The reason why she chose to do so was because, in that instant, Gu Xiangxi's ability was at its weakest. After her body died, she would recreate a new character, and during that period of remodeling, Gu Xiangxi would be the weakest.
