"Yangliu, wake up."

Yang Liu, who was dozing off, was suddenly awakened by a call. She opened her eyes drowsily, and after seeing the person in front of her clearly, she slowly sat up and stretched.

"Captain Zhang, what's going on?"

Yang Liu was yawning and it was obvious that she was very sleepy.

"It's okay. It's noon. I guessed you two were still sleeping, so I came up to call you to eat." Zhang Li rubbed his dark circles and answered weakly.

"Oh, ok. Captain Zhang, please call Zhao Yunduo and go together." Yang Liu rubbed his stiff face, then slowly moved the chair and stood up.

Before Zhang Li turned around to shout, Zhao Yunduo stretched and stood up, with marks from the pressure on her face.

"I heard you. Let's go. I'm starving. I haven't eaten anything this morning..." Zhao Yunduo replied, shaking her dizzy head.

The three of them went to the cafeteria together, got their food and started chatting while eating.

"Captain Zhang, what's the outcome of those two cases?" Yang Liu asked about the progress while shoveling food into his mouth.

"There's some progress in the headless corpse case, and we're now investigating the missing persons. As for Wen Ya's case, it's still the same as usual. We've restored all of Wen Ya's online accounts, and are investigating them one by one. The workload is huge, and we haven't had a good rest for a long time." Zhang Li naturally knew what Yang Liu was referring to. After all, these two are the only new cases on hand that haven't had a result yet.

"It's been so long, and Wen Ya still hasn't made any progress? Aren't the higher-ups urging you?" Yang Liu put a piece of cabbage wrapped in potato into his mouth, chewed it, and asked vaguely. Zhang Li took a breath and looked worried again because of Yang Liu's words.

"Hurry her up, of course. You know she's a celebrity, a public figure. If she's been missing for so long, people will definitely get suspicious. If they knew she's been dead for so long and there's still no result, there would be a huge uproar."

"Didn't you say you found something before? Why didn't you send someone to take a look?"

"I contacted the police station there, and they are also looking for him, but it's as if he disappeared for no reason. There is no clue at all."

Yang Liu listened and nodded thoughtfully. Zhang Li was eating when the phone rang. He picked up the phone, answered it briefly a few times, hung up, lowered his head and quickly put the rice and vegetables into his mouth, drank the soup, then picked up the plate and stood up.

"Speak of the devil, there's news over there, I have to go check it out, you guys take your time eating."

Yang Liu responded twice without even raising her head. Before she had taken a few bites of the meal, Zhao Yunduo next to her hit her head on the table with her hands covering her stomach. Yang Liu was startled. She saw that Zhao Yunduo was dizzy and was about to slide to the ground. Yang Liu was so scared that she quickly picked her up and turned her over. Zhao Yunduo's head was red and swollen, and a rash appeared on her body at a speed visible to the naked eye. Yang Liu saw that she was doomed, so she quickly called 120. The people in the cafeteria noticed something was wrong and quickly surrounded her, but then dispersed when they saw the situation to prevent hypoxia, and then worked together to send Zhao Yunduo to the car.

Yang Liu went to the hospital as a caregiver. After a series of examinations and rescue efforts, they discovered that Zhao Yunduo suffered from severe food allergies. They checked the allergens for a long time. When Zhao Yunduo woke up, she was stunned when she saw the report.

"I've been eating it for years and you tell me I'm allergic to potatoes?"

The swelling on Zhao Yunduo's face had not yet gone down, and she spoke with a lisp. Her unclear voice showed her disbelief. The series of bad luck made Zhao Yunduo, who had been working overtime for a night, almost go crazy. She smashed the report sheet on her leg and almost couldn't help cursing out loud.

"I must die, right? Look at what happened these past two days. It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous! I'm really convinced. Can I just die quickly?"

Yang Liu sat aside calmly drinking the refreshing coffee, yawned, then reached out to cover the man's mouth, and then raised a finger to his lips to signal silence. "If you continue to make trouble, the hospital will transfer us to the psychiatric department."

Zhao Yunduo blinked and finally calmed down, then said softly, "You do know something." There was no doubt in his firm tone.

Yang Liu shrugged nonchalantly, "Just like you, I have awakened my self-awareness."

"Then why must I die?" Zhao Yunduo's expression was gloomy, hiding her uneasiness.

"Maybe you want to change your fate?"

Yang Liu drank his coffee, glanced at Zhao Yunduo and said something ambiguous.

"Didn't you think about it?"

"Why should I think so? I'm fine now. I'm just a marginal character. Nothing I do can affect the world." Yang Liu shrugged indifferently, and even looked at Zhao Yunduo with a mocking look.

Zhao Yunduo made Yang Liu choke and was speechless for a moment. The look in her eyes when she looked at Yang Liu changed from inquiry to pity, and she shook her head with regret.

"Right."

Yang Liu looked at the expression on Zhao Yunduo's face, which changed unpredictably like a color palette, and fell silent for a moment.

"What about you? You have everything you need. What's there to change?"

Zhao Yunduo looked up following the sound of Yang Liu, her pupils dilated as if she was lost in distant memories.

"Because if this cycle continues I'll go crazy."

Zhao Yunduo's voice was as thin as a mosquito's, as if she was mumbling some insignificant nonsense. Yang Liu pricked up her ears and caught the key words directly. She leaned over with her hands on the bed and asked again uncertainly. "What cycle are you talking about?"

Yang Liu was inevitably excited as she watched the mystery unfold. Zhao Yunduo glanced at Yang Liu suspiciously and pursed her lips. She swallowed back the words that had almost come out of her mouth. "Nothing."

"I heard everything. We are all the same people. There is nothing to hide. Maybe I can help you."

Yang Liu didn't want the other party to just let go and then back off.

"Heh." Zhao Yunduo chuckled and did not continue the topic. She just lay back down, wrapped herself in the quilt to cover her head, and didn't know what she was thinking about.

Yang Liu didn't ask any more questions after seeing the situation. More haste makes waste, and she didn't want to expose herself before getting anything out of the situation.

She found that since she was by Zhao Yunduo's side, the probability of the other party being in danger was indeed reduced a lot, at least it could be avoided or alleviated and not die immediately, so she chose to stay. After all, the secrets of Zhao Yunduo were worth exploring, and she always felt that there was a key to breaking the deadlock.

Along the way, Wen Ya followed Yang Liu silently and naturally took everything in.

The conversation between the two made her confused. She couldn't help but want to ask Yang Liu many times, but Yang Liu ignored her all day.

Well, not really. It was just that Yang Liu was too tired and was sleeping, so he had no time to take care of her.

Wen Ya just sat in front of the window, watching the subtle atmosphere between the two people.

"Awakening?"

She muttered to herself, her eyes empty, as if she was recalling something.
