Chapter 551 Tear This Place Down

The tea was bitter, but the person was sweet.

The female curator was around thirty years old and possessed an intellectual and gentle beauty. Actually, she wasn't particularly beautiful; if you were just judging looks, you could only say she was average.

But her temperament made up for it in a big way, even adding points. Also, her conversation; anything she talked about had a strong sense of professionalism.

An artist, that was probably the feeling.

Not the kind who casually spouted nonsense and thought themselves extraordinary, nor the performance artist deliberately trying to attract attention,

but someone immersed in their own world and small universe, swimming freely, as pure as a child.

Wang Ke was good at conversation, and Zhou Ze just listened, not interrupting much, but he still found it interesting.

Now, the topic gradually shifted to architecture.

At this time, Luo Su pointed her finger upwards and said,

"Actually, I'm fascinated by the *Yi Jing* (Book of Changes) in China, including the construction layout here, which is also based on the 'heaven is round, earth is square' pattern."

Zhou Ze looked up. It was indeed the case. Of course, there was nothing surprising about it. In fact, many ancient buildings in some ancient towns also followed this rule.

Luo Su flipped a copper coin from her fingertips,

and stood it up on the coffee table.

The coin was round, and the hollow part in the center was square.

"A century ago, the progress of modern science completely shattered the assertion of our ancestors that 'heaven is round and earth is square'.

And now,

we are convinced of the guidance of science. The place where we live is a ball, and outside this ball, there is a vast and boundless universe."

"Isn't that how it is?" Zhou Ze asked.

The female curator shook her head and said,

"If we simply regard 'heaven is round, earth is square' as a description of this real world, it seems like it's really a big mistake, after all, people have even landed on the moon now.

But what if we look at 'heaven is round, earth is square' from another perspective?"

Zhou Ze pursed his lips and blurted out,

"Yin and Yang."

The female curator gave Zhou Ze a meaningful look, nodded, and said,

"Yes, Yin and Yang."

…………

"So, they're all starting to talk about such high-end stuff now?"

The little loli listened secretly, pouting.

A grim reaper,

you're talking about Yin and Yang with someone?

Isn't this forcibly dragging the conversation into your professional field to show off?

Sure enough,

when a man is in front of a charming woman, he instantly turns into a gorilla who only knows how to beat his chest to court her.

"Do you think the boss has noticed something wrong here?" the little boy asked.

"He's blind. He often can't tell the difference between a person and a ghost even when they're standing right in front of him."

"Oh, is that so?"

"Many, many times, even when he's eating with a ghost, he doesn't notice."

"Is he really that bad?"

"Super bad."

"Then why did you still get…"

The little loli sighed

and said,

"People get reincarnated."

…………

"If 'heaven is round, earth is square' is just a worldview, rather than a specific description of reality, it actually still makes sense.

Heaven is round, earth is square,

is actually half a sphere.

Living people live on a flat surface, and the sky is round.

Then the other half of the circle is Yin.

It means reversal, it means the two poles;

after all, if you look at it from the perspective of the Earth, you can't even tell which end is up and which end is down."

The female curator stood up, gesturing as she spoke, seemingly immersed in her own thoughts and narrative,

"It's like a mirror. The mirror is a flat surface. One side of the mirror is Yang, and the inside of the mirror is Yin. That's actually the best explanation of heaven is round, earth is square…"

Wang Ke lowered his head, looked at the watch on his wrist, and realized that it was getting late. He stood up and said,

"The child has a tutoring class in the afternoon, I have to take her home to eat first."

"Oh, then let's talk next time."

The female curator seemed a little disappointed.

"I'm leaving too, my child also has a tutoring class in the afternoon."

Zhou Ze also stood up at the right time, preparing to say goodbye.

"Your child is also going to tutoring classes?" Wang Ke said with some surprise, "Which one?"

"Whichever one your child goes to, mine goes to the same one."

"…" Wang Ke.

The two walked towards the office together. The office door was opened from the inside at this moment.

The little loli walked out obediently,

Wang Ke frowned slightly,

while Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes.

The little boy also walked out, looking innocent.

"Rui Rui, let's go home with Dad."

Saying that,

Wang Ke took the little loli's hand.

The little loli obediently let Wang Ke hold her hand, and the father and daughter walked out together.

The little boy walked to Zhou Ze's side,

and held out his hand.

Zhou Ze looked down,

put his hands in his pockets,

and walked forward on his own.

The little boy silently followed behind, without speaking.

And the female curator, who had just been talking about heaven and earth,

picked up the teacup on the coffee table,

and took another sip very elegantly,

then,

put down the teacup,

*crack*.

A crisp sound.

…………

"Going back, you have to do homework, right?"

Wang Ke asked.

The little loli nodded and said,

"I'm worried you'll get lost."

"Oh."

Wang Ke suddenly realized, stopped, and said, "Do you want to wait for the one behind us?"

"No need, let's go out first, I'm hungry, I want to drink meat soup, and then sleep."

The little loli continued to walk forward,

and Wang Ke could only follow.

Zhou Ze, who was deliberately slowing down behind them, asked calmly:

"What's wrong?"

He naturally saw that Lin Ke had awakened,

even,

Wang Ke might have noticed it too.

"Head."

The little boy gestured:

"A real head, in the office."

"Oh."

Zhou Ze pursed his lips.

"Also, I saw another you."

The little boy continued.

"Another me?"

"Look, he's right in front."

…………

"You…"

Wang Ke saw Zhou Ze running over in a hurry at the entrance of the wax museum,

Wang Ke really wanted to ask, weren't you behind us?

Moreover,

at such a fast speed,

you even changed your clothes?

Fortunately, Wang Ke had long known that Zhou Ze's identity was not simple. Although surprised, it wasn't too difficult to accept.

Zhou Ze looked at the little loli, then at Wang Ke,

shrugged,

and said to the little loli:

"Am I still inside?"

The little loli nodded.

"Then you guys get out of here quickly, it's best to go home and check."

The little loli seemed to understand something, and a serious look appeared on her face.

"It's okay, not a big problem."

Zhou Ze replied,

then pointed at himself,

"I don't think there's anything wrong with me, so you shouldn't have any problems either."

Hearing this, the little loli breathed a sigh of relief.

Holding Wang Ke's hand, she continued to run out.

Zhou Ze continued to walk in,

then,

he saw himself, exactly the same, in front of him.

"Look, he's right in front."

Zhou Ze, next to the little boy, gritted his teeth and looked back at the wax museum.

Actually,

if he thought there was nothing unusual at first,

but if he still thought it was just a coincidence after seeing the scene of Ying Gou,

then Zhou Ze wouldn't need to hang around anymore.

"What's going on with you?"

Zhou Ze pointed at himself in front and asked.

"Oh, I'm fake."

Saying that,

the Zhou Ze in front reached out and tore open his clothes.

"…" Zhou Ze.

Watching someone exactly like you seriously "open their heart and lungs" to you,

this feeling,

was really weird.

"This wax museum is problematic."

Zhou Ze, who put his clothes back on, pointed to the top of his head and said.

"Yeah, I know."

"It should be that after you guys went in, I came out, and then a section of my memory was cut off in the middle. I even took a shower when I got back and almost melted myself."

"Oh."

Zhou Ze nodded,

then quickly asked:

"You didn't get in the bathtub, did you?"

"I did."

"Then you dirtied my bathtub?"

"Yeah."

"You know that would make me very uncomfortable."

Other people in the bookstore are not allowed to use the bathtub when they shower.

"I didn't know either. If I had known earlier that I was fake and would melt and fade,

I wouldn't have gone into the bathtub and dirtied it."

"Sigh."

"Sigh."

The little boy looked at Zhou Ze beside him, then at the wax Zhou Ze in front,

and silently "sighed" too.

"Mr. Xu, haven't you left yet?"

At this time,

the female curator slowly walked over, a smile on her lips.

"There's a question I'd like to ask you, for example, about the person in front of you."

Zhou Ze pointed to the wax figure of himself.

"Just an example."

The female curator didn't take it seriously.

Zhou Ze reached out and stroked his chin, and said very seriously:

"I'm not asking what your identity is, nor do I want to ask what you're doing in Tongcheng. In fact, I'm not even very interested in this wax museum."

"Is that so?"

The female curator shrugged.

"But please, don't be so mysterious."

"Then I apologize to you, this is just a friendly joke."

The female curator bowed slightly,

apologized with a bow,

her attitude was sincere.

At the same time,

she gently snapped her fingers,

and the wax Zhou Ze standing in the distance began to melt,

turning into a pool of wax on the ground.

Zhou Ze closed his eyes,

took a deep breath, and frowned slightly;

first watched himself "open his heart and lungs" in front of himself,

then watched himself "melt" in front of himself.

"Oh, Mr. Xu doesn't seem to like this kind of ending very much."

The female curator snapped her fingers again.

*Snap!*

The pool of wax on the ground

exploded directly,

splattering.

Zhou Ze watched himself… explode!

The little boy pouted, reached out and tugged at Zhou Ze's sleeve,

and said very seriously:

"If I were you, I wouldn't be able to stand it."

Zhou Ze wasn't anxious,

but raised his hand,

and said to the female curator:

"There has to be a reason, right?"

"Lu Pingzhi."

The female curator smiled slightly,

"Is the reason enough?"

Zhou Ze suddenly realized and nodded, "Enough, it's really enough."

Saying that,

Zhou Ze reached out and patted the little boy's head,

pushed him forward,

the little boy staggered,

stumbling forward several steps, almost falling to the ground.

He looked back at Zhou Ze in confusion.

"Tear this place down, I authorize it."

The little boy smiled,

smiled very happily,

nodded vigorously,

and said excitedly:

"Okay!"
