Chapter 258 I am willing to keep my promise
Xu Ying thought that Lu Xiangyu did not really want to repent, and she did not see his sincerity in this conversation. Sweet words are nice to hear, but they cannot solve the problem, and his countless "yes" answers do not mean that he can do things well.

If he could really do these things, she would give him some material benefits. She really hoped that he could do these things, but his attitude was unclear. If he ran away after reaching the city, she would have to send her assistant and the stationmaster to catch him back, which would be a huge waste. Moreover, if he did something bad after running away, it would be irreparable. In order to save a person, could others take risks?

Xu Ying doubted whether what he did was right: What was the basis for my doing this? Why was I so sure that he would not repeat the same mistake? Was it because his family was still in my hands? However, he was unwilling to sacrifice his arms and legs for his family. In his heart, the most important thing was himself. Would he stop because he was afraid of death?

Do I have any other basis? The targets he selected included both those who deserved to be punished and those who were innocent. The innocent were in the minority, while those who deserved to be punished were the majority. Judging from his information, he was definitely not a very evil person before he got the asymptote.

His college classmates didn't think highly of him, because he wasn't outgoing, his grades weren't great, and he was rarely seen in group activities, unless it was a must, he wouldn't participate. However, judging by the evaluation, he wasn't bad, because he never bullied anyone.

Not taking advantage of others, not doing favors for others, not expecting help from others, these behaviors and this character are not fake. The old him will not disappear easily, and the asymptote cannot directly and immediately change a person's character. As long as there is guidance, there is still a possibility of redemption.

"If I asked you to hand over half of your salary, would you think it was too harsh?"

More than that! Not just harsh, but also sucking the marrow out of bones! But Lu Xiangyu only thought about these words in his heart. He would never dare to speak out his true thoughts. He had endured until now, why should he completely offend this girl for a moment of pleasure!
"will not."

"It's not good to tell lies at a time like this. Hand over half of your salary and keep the other half for yourself. Anyway, you're not in a hurry to buy a car, a house, or get married, right?"

Lu Xiangyu was almost dizzy with anger: "What does it have to do with you whether I buy a house or get married? Just because I don't buy a house doesn't mean I have to give you the money."

"Correct."

"No. You have a problem with your attitude. Your salary has nothing to do with me. Your salary has something to do with my cat. If your income is too low, my cat may starve and become thin. I don't know what you think, but if you can fulfill your promise, even if you only fulfill half of it, I can let you go unpunished."

Only fulfill half of the promise? Which half? Sign in regularly every week, buy cat food and treat the cat, but don't look for a job, okay? Or find a job, but don't treat the cat, let it fend for itself, okay? Or find a very ordinary job, give half of the salary to her, and don't sign in every week, is that okay?
Lu Xiangyu has many ideas. He is ranking the promises. Which one is the most important? Probably signing in on time. If the girl doesn't know his whereabouts, she will probably think he ran away. If she thinks so, then everything he does is meaningless. He will be caught and face even more terrible punishment. Having freedom does not mean that you can live happily. If you don't have freedom, how can you pursue happiness?

The second-highest promise should be to buy cat food for the cat and to treat its illness in time. If the cat dies, then his job ends there, and he still loses his freedom.

As for whether to find a job, what kind of job to find, and whether to give him the salary, these things don’t seem to be important. As long as he can feed the cat and himself, it doesn’t matter.

"I will keep my promise."

"Don't be so absolute. What is it that you yearn for?"

Xu Ying was worried that if the other party did these bad things in order to make the things he longed for clearer and clearer, or even to get the things he longed for, then he would never give up easily before he achieved his goal. What was his goal? He was a medieval person, and with his ability, there were not many things he could not get.

"What I long for is a number. I dreamed of that number, but I forgot it." Lu Xiangyu tried his best to recall the number, but the past had long since dissipated, and once lost, it could not be retrieved. Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief: Sure enough, with the ability of the medieval people, the most difficult thing to get is not a huge fortune, but something that is out of reach. For example, dreams, or love letters from the person you love. It is not too difficult to remind people of dreams. As long as you find the right asymptote, you can make them see the things they long for immediately.

But does that number have any special meaning? Is it someone's contact information? What is the purpose of finding this contact information? Dreams are different from reality. In the dream, one person uses this number, and in reality, another person uses the number. Will the two overlap? It's unlikely.

"Why don't you find someone who can see dreams to help you trace your past?"

"I'm just an ordinary person, I can't find anyone that amazing."

Xu Ying stared at him coldly. "Ordinary people? When you helped others escape from prison, when you made them sleep forever, why didn't you think about the fact that you are an ordinary person!"

"If I help you find such a person and let you see the things you long for, how will you repay me?"

Lu Xiangyu fell into deep thought: That number is very important. I have destroyed other people's dreams time and time again, but the dreams I once forgot have become clearer and clearer. If this girl can help me find such a person and let me see that number, I don't mind living the way she said.

"I will keep all my promises forever."

Xu Ying shook her head: "Not forever. Cats have a limited lifespan. Humans have a limited lifespan too. Does the string of numbers you want to see have any special meaning?"

“It’s a way for a person to connect.”

"Do you need me to help you find that person?"

"Yes." Lu Xiangyu had endured this for so long just to achieve his ultimate goal. When the other party wanted to help, he did not hesitate or be polite.

"Then we need to add another promise."

"What promise?"

"If the person I find is not the same as the one in your dreams, your wish has been fulfilled and you should not make any more requests."

"it is good."
