43. Meeting an Old Friend Again
After the accident, Aponia's body gradually began to feel unwell.
Every once in a while, her longing for Ling would grow stronger, and even the disciple could not suppress the burning fire in her heart.
Therefore, every once in a while, she would come here and vent the flames in the name of spiritual combing.
There's nothing wrong with her mentally, but her body has probably taken on Ling's shape...
Perhaps the black singularity not only transformed Ling's spirit but also affected his body.
Ling now might be the original sin of lust itself.
Once you come into contact with it, it is more addictive than drug injection, and there is no way to quit.
After each incident, Aponia would check Ling's spiritual world to prevent that thing from getting out of control and affecting Ling.
And she also discovered a little problem: Ling's spiritual world is constantly growing, and every time she does that kind of thing, it seems to grow a little bit stronger...
Ling's current mental power is no less than that of an ordinary MANTIS warrior's mental perception.
The two maintained this secret relationship without being discovered by Eden.
Two days later, Eden finally came back, and Aponia said goodbye to Eden and left here for the time being.
"Sister." Ling greeted Eden as usual.
"Well, how have you been these past two days?"
"I'm fine. Sister Nia takes good care of me."
For some reason, Eden felt empty inside when she heard this expected answer.
Because if it were Ling when he was a child, he would definitely hug me and tell me how much he missed me after I left for two days.
I kind of miss Xiao Ling back then...
"That's good." Eden nodded, then let Ling lie on the sofa with his head resting on her thighs.
And Eden gently coaxed him with her beautiful singing.
Just like before.
Ling just listened quietly to Eden's beautiful singing and fell asleep peacefully.
He didn't know why he did it; he just knew he should do it.
"It would be so nice if we weren't siblings..."
Faintly, Ling seemed to hear such whispers.
It seemed that because nothing had happened during the first outing, Eden gradually relaxed her control over Ling.
After all, she still needs to engage in some social activities, and she can meet and keep in touch with some of her old friends.
When Aponia is around, Eden will temporarily leave Ling to her care, and when she is not around, Ling can take care of himself.
Only then did Eden feel relieved and pick up her previous job.
But she would never leave home for more than three days at a time, and would call from time to time to check on his situation.
Until one day, when Eden was going on a date with her friends again, Ling came to the street alone.
Walking along the familiar streets always allows him to find some fun in his somewhat empty life.
Suddenly, a girl with ice-blue hair rushed up and grabbed his arms.
"Ling! You are Ling, it must be you! Ling... why didn't you contact me? I thought you had already..."
"Uh...are you someone I knew before?" Ling was a little embarrassed.
Looking at the tears gradually accumulating in the other person's eyes, he had no impression of her at all.
"Me? I'm Shigure Kira. You used to call me Sister Shigure. Don't you remember me as your agent?" Shigure Kira frowned, with a confused look on her face.
"I'm sorry, something seemed to have happened to me a year ago that caused me to lose my memory... So, I'm sorry, I really don't remember you." Ling explained truthfully.
"...Let's find a place to talk slowly." Shigure Kira pulled Ling to a hotel without saying anything.
She happened to see a girl taking a photo on her arm, and she definitely couldn't mistake the handwriting; it was Ling.
However, the other party kept her mouth shut about where she met Ling. As a die-hard fan, she was very professional and did not reveal Ling's information, as she did not want Ling's life to be disturbed.
Even though Shigure Kira revealed her identity, she still couldn't gain her trust.
After all, what agent doesn't know where his or her artist is?
Helplessly, Shigure Kira could only find the area based on the scene information inadvertently revealed by other girls in their circle of friends at that time.
She had been searching here for more than a week and finally found the person she had been looking for today.
"Uh...let me call you Sister Shigure. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Ling asked.
"The first and most important thing is, of course, to find out what kind of accident you had! I've been looking for you for a year and a half, and your original address and mobile phone number are all invalid." Shigure Kira put her hands on her hips and looked at Ling with some dissatisfaction.
She had been missing for over a year without any news, and she was extremely worried. She had always thought that Ling might be devastated by A Quan's death.
"I was going to give you a good beating the next time I met you, but considering you have lost your memory, I forgive you."
Shigure Kira pursed her lips. She had thought about the scene of their meeting countless times, but she never expected that Ling would no longer remember her.
"Thank you?" Ling said tentatively.
The other person seems to have a good relationship with his old self, an agent?
"By the way, the second thing is, I want you to make a comeback and become an idol." Shigure Kira said to Ling.
"Become an idol? Sorry, my sister doesn't allow me to get involved in the entertainment industry anymore." Ling said apologetically.
"Ms. Eden would actually say such a thing..." Shigure Kira was a little bit unbelievable.
After all, Eden herself is a world-class idol, but her path is different from Ling's.
"You know my sister? It seems that you are someone I knew before." Ling nodded.
"Are you still doubting it?" Shigure Kira looked a little angry, but it didn't make people feel disgusted. Instead, there was a kind of cuteness in it.
"Well, after all, my sister and I have never made our relationship public. Only a small number of people in the classical music and opera circles know about it."
"By the way, why are you so obsessed with me? If you are an agent, you should have more than one artist under your management, right?" Ling asked the question in his mind.
However, he never expected that Shigure Kira was staring at him quietly, as if he had done something outrageous to both humans and gods.
"You really don't remember?" Shigure Kira bit her lower lip slightly.
"…" Ling didn't know how to answer.
"Huh... You once promised me that you would take me with you and become an idol that everyone admires." Shigure Kira sighed and explained.
Afterward, Shigure Kira began to talk about their past interactions.
When Ling first entered the entertainment industry, he was selected by Shigure Kira.
Her dream was to become an idol. Her good looks were the foundation of success, but... she was tone-deaf and couldn't even make it to the auditions...
So she became an agent and gave all her hopes and resources to Ling.
Ling did not disappoint her expectations and indeed became the top idol at that time.
It was only because they were plotted against by the capitalists after their relationship was made public that A Quan became the Herrscher of Sentience, and Ling was resurrected with amnesia.
Shigure Kira knew nothing about all this. The only news she got was that A Quan had died unexpectedly. After that, all news about A Quan was blocked and became an absolute taboo in the entertainment industry. Ling also disappeared without a trace.
"Sister Shigure, are you really tone-deaf?"
At this time, a man who had never experienced a beating since losing his memory began his first act of suicide.
