Other world, other me
On the next morning, they started their journey again. As they walk, the phone rings again and started to annoy Gan Ning. In the end, he can't hold it any longer and snatches Lu Xun's phone away, wanted to throw! As he wanted to do so, Lu Xun was very angry about it and use 'Fire' to flare him up! (Actually, only his pants, not his whole body) Gan Ning drops the phone, and jumps like crazy, quickly dust off the fire. Once he pat off the fire, he chases Lu Xun down, (which he manage to get back his phone and quickly run away.) "How dare you, come back here, midget! I'm gonna throw that thing away!" Gan Ning started to chase, he runs as fast as he could to catch Lu Xun and tries to take away his phone. "If you dare, I'm gonna make you as if this was your last day!" Lu Xun looks at him angrily, he continues answering the phone and jumps from tree to tree, making Gan Ning tired of chasing from tree to tree. As for their friends, they just walk normally and shook their head, "Not again… it's just early in the morning and those guys never know how to quit, don't they?" Ma Chao say in unbelievable tone, he already fed up with those two, who always bickering over something.
Gan Ning still chasing after Lu Xun. As he wanted to turn the other side of the road, he saw a sea right in front of him. He slowly walk towards. He raise his hand and put in over his eye brow, looking far. He looks right and left, as if searching for something, and he saw a land right opposite them, and it was a big one. His face lit up, recall back when he was still a pirate. Few minutes later, his friends manage to catch up with him. They saw him looking at the sea and walk toward him. Gan Ning saw them coming, he point at the land he saw and he was excited about it. Although they're not sure why he was so excited about it, but, when they mention Lu Xun's name again, Gan Ning suddenly remember that he was still chasing Lu Xun and off he goes again.
When the time he arrives, he saw Lu Xun standing in front of a cave, holding the phone. Gan Ning wanted to sneak on him, hoping could snatch his phone without his acknowledge, but his friends had call him just before he could do it so. Lu Xun turn back, surprise. Gan Ning was right behind him, wanted to took his phone and he doesn't aware about it. He quickly hides his phone and face his friends, which now they had stand in front of the cave.
Huang Gai: What's up?
Lu Xun: This cave, I wanted to go in there… (he point at the cave)
Huang Gai: Um? But why? Aren't we supposed to go to Luo Yang? It's not this way…
Lu Xun: I know, but gives me few minutes, I wanted to check something…
Huang Gai: No, no, no, we gotta go Luo Yang now, or else, we gonna miss Lu Bu…
Lu Xun: (He thought for a while, he really wanted to went into the cave to check something. As he thought, he decided to went in alone) If that's the case, I'll went in alone. You guys go first, I'll catch up later! (without giving any reason, he turn and run into the cave)
They stand there for a moment, and look at each other, confuse, as they don't understand why he wanted to do so. As they thinking what to do, they decided to went in the cave, fear that he might in trouble, since he was all alone.
At first, the entrance of the cave was rather big and bright. But, as they went in deeper, the tunnel getting darker and smaller. They started to call Lu Xun, but somehow he did not response. As they walk in deeper, they saw a bright light from afar. They walk toward the light, and saw Lu Xun, standing in the middle of the room. They walk towards him, looking at him still tapping his phone. They call him, but he doesn't seems to response to them, too focus on the phone. Gan Ning quietly went to his side and shout at his ear, "LU XUN!" Lu Xun startle for a moment and looks at Gan Ning with angry face, "SHUT UP, IDIOT! I'M DOING SOMETHING!" Unfortunately, because of their loud voices, a huge lizard jumps before them, ready to attack them. "Look what you've done!" Lu Xun took out his dagger and prepare for the fight. "What do you mean I'm the one who done it?!" Gan Ning too took out his sword and defends himself, which the monster had strike them fort. "Would you two just knock it off already? We got better things to do!" Ma Chao and the others took out their sword and charge forward, at the mean time ask them to concentrate on the battle instead of arguing.
As they fight, the phone rings. This time, Lu Xun did not answer the phone, instead, it was a girl's voice talking mechanically, "Target found, do you want to accept the job?" The voice wait for Lu Xun's reply, which he just say 'accept'. "Mission accepted. Good luck!" then off the voice. Now, the monster swing its tail towards them, they quickly evade and attack it. They use every formation to fight it off, and they almost half and hours to defeat it! Once the monster down, the voice came back again. Lu Xun took out the phone and listen to the message. "Mission success, Giga Lizard defeated. Monster data had transfer to your profile. All your rewards had transfer to your account. Hope you can keeps update with us, thank you." Then off the voice again. Lu Xun keeps his phone back and walk towards the monster. He knelt down and took out his dagger, cut off its claw and skin!
Xu Huang: What are you doing?
Lu Xun: (he took out a piece of skin and examined it. Once he satisfied with it, he keeps it into his waist bag and turn to them) Don't you ever learn how to survive in such occasion?
Xu Huang: But… with that? How so?
Lu Xun: Can't you see, there's some value on it? You could take some of its part and sell it to the store. That way you could earn some money… But, since I've took it, there's no more value on it, so let's go…(he turn, and walk to the other direction.)
They follow him behind, walk towards the other side of the road.
Huang Gai: Come to think of it, why you come here for?
Lu Xun: Well… I'm looking for someone, according to the message I've read just now, she was looking for a friend…
Gan Ning: Oh, so it was a 'she' then, so, who's she looking for?
Lu Xun: Would you just shut up and let me finish it?!
Gan Ning: Sheesh, you don't have to be that rude!
Lu Xun: Anyway, she was looking for her friend. (at the mean time, he took out his phone and read it out) Here's what she said, "Could someone help me to search for her? It's been quite a while she's not returning home and I fear that she might got lost while on her way home. If someone manage to look for her, please bring her back to Luo Yang, we need her literally. From: Lady in blue. And P.S., She had a little problem about memory and she had a Erhu with her. So try to bear with her. Oh, if you really manage to find her, please reply me and I'll give you details"
Huang Gai: What the… then how should we know if we really finds her? And how do know that she's really here? I mean, she might had gone to other place already…
Lu Xun: She wouldn't, this message just written yesterday. If we assume that she got lost yesterday, we might meet her on the way to Luo Yang. But yesterday there's no sign of any girl passing by, right? So I guess she might be here somewhere…
Cao Ren: So, you're saying that she'll definitely be here?
Lu Xun: Actually, I'm not sure…
Huang Gai: Then why you came in anyway…?
Lu Xun: Who knows? Maybe she really was here, I think it's worth to try.
Huang Gai: Well, suit yourself.
As they reach the end of the cave, they saw nothing but few pillars decorated around the room and there was a tomb or something like a coffin in the middle of the room. They walks towards cautiously since they're not sure whether it was a trap or not. Once they reach the tomb, they tried to open it up, but it was tightly shut and they can't open it.
Gan Ning: Do you think she really in here? I mean, look at it, it's a…coffin?
Ling Tong: Well, who knows? Maybe she really in here. But the problem is, it's tightly shut.
Lu Xun: (he looks around) There must be something that could open it… (he goes to the pillars and examined it, but fail to finds anything)
Huang Gai: Nah, give up already. She won't be so stupid to stay in here, besides, if we think logically, there's no way anyone could stay in there, especially in this thing… Anyway, let's go already…
Lu Xun: (he cross his arm and give it a thought. He tried to figure out how to open the tomb as he thought that she might be in there. But as he wanted to check once more, he saw Gan Ning hitting, banging and kick the tomb which makes him surprise) Stop! What are you doing?
Gan Ning: Relax, I'm trying to figure out whether it's works or not, just take it easy…
Lu Xun: You idiot! You might set up the trap… (he tried to stop him but fail)
Gan Ning: What's so scare about, it's just a … wah!
He accidentally kicks one of the switch, causing the tomb open by itself. They quickly jumps back for cover, just in case it was a trap! Few seconds had pass, it does not response at all. They slowly walks toward the tomb, and slowly raise their head and look in. To their surprise, there was a girl sleeping, slumber. She was a beautiful lady, as if it was portrait from a wall. She wears blue robe and she was hugging Erhu with her while she's sleeping! They look at each other, wondering that would she be the one who they wanted to search for.
Xu Huang: What the… Cai Wenji?
Gan Ning: Ok… although I knew her… but… (he knew that if he say her name, they'll be suspicious about them and decided not to say so) …What should we do? Wake her?
Huang Gai: Well, if that's the case, you wake her up…
Gan Ning: Me? No way! How about you Ling Tong, you wake her!
Ling Tong: No I won't, how about you Xu Huang?
Xu Huang: Like I could… how about you guys…? (they shock their head. They wouldn't dare to wake her up, and started to argue)
Just as they dilly deli, the girl finally woke up. She stretches her body gently and gives a yawn. As she rubs her sleepy eye, she saw someone right in front of her, looking at her.
??: (She smiles at them gently and greet them happily) Good morning!
They look at her dumbly, and reply " Good Morning".
Huang Gai: (he was the first person that snap back to reality) Morning… my butt! Why are you here? Who are you, what's your name?
??: Hm? My name?
Huang Gai: Yes! What's your name?
??: Hm… I don't remember…(she looks at them, smiling, which in return, a looks of disbelief)
Huang Gai: What do you mean you don't remember? You do had a name right?
??: Well… I have, but I don't remember right now…
Huang Gai: You must be joking…
Ma Chao: What should we do? She seems not remember her name…
Lu Xun: (he took out his phone and text the message)
Gan Ning: What're you doing?
Lu Xun: Shh! (he keeps tapping the message and finally puts down, looks at the girl) If I was correct, are you Cai WenJi?
Cai Wenji: (she thought for awhile, and looks at them again) I think so… So my name is Cai Wenji…
Lu Xun: *sigh* Yup, that's her.
Huang Gai: Huh? She's the one?
Lu Xun: Yup, she's the one. I've message to the lady, and confirmed. Since she's a forgetful and holding a Erhu, so, it's her, now shall we go? (then he turn and walks off.
Cai Wenji stands up happily, she took her Erhu and skip happily besides them.)
Ling Tong: Come to think of it, could someone tell me how did she manage to sleeps in those kind of thing? If it was tightly shuts in the beginning, then how come… (he looks at them with full of question marks on his head. They too don't know how she manage to get in there! They slowly turn their face and look at her, she was just smiling and say, "I don't remember." They look at each other once again, and had a sweat drop on their head)
As they went out from the cave, Cai Wenji had been asking about her name ever since she got up from that thing, and they are getting fed up!
Cai Wenji: Sorry Mr. Big Muscle Guy, what's my name again? I don't remember at all…
Huang Gai: For thousand times, your name is Cai Wenji!
Cai Wenji: oh… What's my name again?
Huang Gai: Ah!!!! I give up!
Ma Chao: I think we should hurried back to Luo Yang, before she kill us off…
Wei Yan: …Agree…
Gan Ning: You know Lu Xun, you shouldn't accept this in the first place!
Lu Xun: *sigh* Like I could, just bare with it…
Gan Ning: What?! Bare with it? Are you crazy? She like! Been asking us the same thing!
Cai Wenji: Sorry, Mr. Pirate, what's my name again?
Gan Ning: Ahhhhh!!!!!!
Along their way to Luo Yang, Cai Wenji finally stops asking them. Just as they thought they could relax, she ask again. They quickly shut their ears and walk away, don't even care to answer her. She stops asking and looks around her, they had shut their ears! She sigh, and finds someone who could answer her. As she looks around, she finds Lu Xun did not shut his ears. She walks towards him and ask the same thing. "Sorry, Mr. Grumpy, what's my name?" Unfortunately, he did not response at all. She feels weird and walks towards him. To her surprise, Lu Xun did not shut his ear because he had earphone on his ear, which he could not hear anything at all! Once again, she sighs to herself and walk quietly with them, which they wouldn't dare to put down their hands or else...
As they walk, Cai Wenji saw something shiny and run towards it. They quickly chase her as they don't know what'll happen to her if she got lost again. She picks up the thing and it was a Crystal (although the shape was a bit different). She shows it to them, and take a good look at it. Lu Xun examined it, he notice it was not a mere Crystal, but a recorder.
Xu Huang: So, what's was it? A crystal? It looks different…
Lu Xun: No, it's a recorder…
Xu Huang: A… record…er? What that?
Jiang Wei: Recorder. It records everything what you see or what you hear. It also could play back too.
Gan Ning: Cool! Then play it back!
Cao Ren: Should we? Aren't it personal?
Gan Ning: Nah, who cares! We want to see, right? (they just nod their head, since it was on the floor and no one took it, they decided to take a look at it)
Recorder…
The scene shows a man's hand, adjusting the camera and finally, revealing background. A man appears, it was Taishi Ci! He takes the camera in front of him and take himself down, started to introduce himself.
Taishi Ci: Hi there, I'm Taishi Ci and I'm welcoming you to my "Dummies for Teachers" on live! As you can see, (he turns the screen, showing two figures. One was a tough looking man who was in middle age and the other one was way younger which around 14s.) this is Lu Meng. As you all know he was the famous master in the world right? So, Chapter one: Introducing… Master Lu Meng! Why don't we see how he teaches a student. (he took the camera and walks toward Lu Meng) Hey, Meng, say something to your fans student, they sure love it!
Lu Meng: (he puts down his spear and looks at the camera while his student turns back, only showing his back) Taishi Ci! Don't you have something else to do?
Taishi Ci: Well…(he point the camera, ask him to say something)
Lu Meng: *sigh* Go somewhere else, I'm teaching!
Taishi Ci: That's my point! I wanted to have a record of you of how to teach someone… Say, boy, why don't you say a thing or two about Lu Meng, eh? (but the boy resists and walk away) Oh come on, don't be shy, look at the camera… What a shy boy, now your turn Meng…
Lu Meng: Look, don't interrupt us anymore, go somewhere else, shoo! shoo! (he pushes him away so that he could back away from them)
Taishi Ci: Ok, ok, you don't have to push me like that… (then he turn the camera and take himself) Well, it seems that they're all camera shy, so that's all for today, see you on next chapter, don't miss ya!
Then off the recorder…
Most of them had a sweat on their head, they never expect this would come, a commercial. Well, at least they knew there was someone else, like Lu Meng and Taishi Ci had appear in this world. But, the only that bug them was the boy, they swear they seen the boy before but could not figure it out. Lu Xun keeps the recorder in his waist back and continue their journey.
Not long later, they pass by a village. This village had been destroyed several years ago and it was all blank out.
Huang Gai: You see that? It was once a village, but as you can see, it was nothing!
Ma Chao: What happen to it?
Cao Ren: A war… It was a terrible war… back then…
Ling Tong: What kind of war? Is it really that serious?
Huang Gai: Well, obviously! It was those stupid punk who done it!
Ling Tong: Who?
Cao Ren: Huang Quan's clan, which they call themselves "The Yellow Turban"
Xu Huang: What?! No way! Huang Quan here too? Now…she forms…Yellow Turban? Aren't that suppose Zhang Jiao…
Ma Chao: Whoa… This whole thing gonna be crazy… again…
Huang Gai: If its not because of them, everything don't have to be like this!
Xu Huang: Why? What makes this war happen in the first place?
Huang Gai: Don't you know? Huang Quan was not a human! She was a monster! She came from outer space, and bang! Here she was, spreading monsters all around the world!
Ma Chao: She… was a monster? Never thought in this world too…
Cao Ren: Although it was just a rumor from hundred years ago. But, it was true that her clan who done it. 35 years ago, they form in forces and oppose us human in order to take over the world...
Gan Ning: Whoa, I never thought this would come…
Huang Gai: … and that's why we should hate them whenever we see them! They don't even deserve to live in this world! Why don't they just vanish somewhere else! And because of that, lots of people died in that war… even my parents, they were killed by those scum bag! If I ever knew and saw those creatures again, I'll tear them up into pieces! (he crunches his fists, seek for revenge!)
Lu Xun: (After hearing this, his face expression change immediately. He could not believe what he just heard. He clutches his heart, feeling pain! As if a knife just pierce through him. Now, he could feels his whole body stands shakily, and wanted to turn up. He looks at Huang Gai, wanted to told him say no more!) Huang Gai, I… I…(before he could finish his word, Jiang Wei steps in front of him and cut his line)
Jiang Wei : Huang Gai, that's enough!
Huang Gai: What, I'm not done talking!
Jiang Wei: Enough is enough! There's no point saying it again and that was past, so just let it go… (he looks at him with stern eye, hoping not to say anything)
Huang Gai: (he looks at Jiang Wei's eye, and gulp. He wasn't sure what's gotten into him, but he knew that it was best not to make him angry, or else…) Ok, OK, I'm not saying any again… But, it had nothing to concern with you right? Why are you upset about? I'm just saying that those 'monster' shouldn't even… (this time, Jiang Wei looks at him seriously. From the looks of it, his eyes tells him that he would kill him if he tried to say it again. Huang Gai quickly shuts up and keep quiet)
Jiang Wei looks at Huang Gai again, making sure he doesn't say any word again. He looks slightly at Lu Xun, and walk away.
Gan Ning: (they quickly gather around and whisper, silently) Guys, do you think this was…
Xu Huang: Yeah, more on like personal issue…
Ma Chao: Should be, look at Jiang Wei, I never saw him in that looks before, I wonder why?
Wei Yan: We…could…ask…
Ling Tong: You want us to get kill? He just warned him…
Cao Ren: Hey, if you guys still don't walk, we gonna leave you behind! (he shout)
Unison: Oh, sorry, on our way…(they look at each other with question look. They're not sure what's going on but they quickly chase up with them before they got left behind)
As they walk, they didn't notice that Lu Xun was left behind. He looks at the abandon village, alone. He sighs, and looks at the ground. Am I not worth to live…at all? he thought. As his looks getting gloomy, Cai Wenji's face suddenly poke in front of him, which startle him for a moment.
Cai Wenji: Is there something wrong? You don't look so good…
Lu Xun: (he tried to hide his expression but its fails and this makes him slightly frustrated and walk away) No…nothing! Let's go…!
Cai Wenji looks at him worriedly, she wanted to help him, but as she tried to figure out something, her minds went off again and forgot that she wanted to finds a way to help him. She scratches her head, and quicken her pace to follow the others.
Ok, that's it for today. Yeah, I know, in this chapter, I've made Cai Wenji looks like Dory, but oh well, I've done it again… Well, I guess that kinda fits her… sometimes… but don't upset with it, she's not like that…
So how was it so far? I hope you enjoy it very much. Keep update ya…!
