Chapter 26 Prison Break
As Zhao Lihe's pronunciation gradually became more proficient, his tone also became excited.
"You said that poem was written by a poet named Tan two hundred years later. Could it be that you are also..."
"That's right!"
Lin Zhongtian smiled and nodded, then looked at him and said teasingly: "Would you like some internet jokes and correct passwords?"
Zhao Lihe's face was filled with excitement. Since the other party could say the word "Internet joke", there were other secret codes needed.
I saw him opening his mouth excitedly. After brewing for a long time, he held back a sentence: "Is everything okay at home?"
Lin Zhongtian was slightly startled. Since the other party already knew that he was a time traveler, the home in this sentence must not refer to the home in this world, but the hometown of their previous life.
Lin Zhongtian thought seriously and shook his head.
"This question is not easy to answer. I need to know what year you traveled through time."
"October 8, 22."
Zhao Lihe said without hesitation.
Lin Zhongtian said regretfully: "Then I can't answer that. I traveled through time in 2018, four years earlier than you!"
Zhao Lihe was startled when he heard this: "18 years? Then you came to this world earlier than me. Why have I never heard of your name? Wait, I know your body at the moment. Yes, it is the prison head of this Tianlao, a reclusive martial arts master. He was the one who poisoned my voice before. If you traveled through time earlier than me, wouldn’t that mean——"
Having said this, Zhao Lihe paused, shook his head again, and said to himself.
"No, no, if that's really the case, then why do you need to recognize me? Could it be that..."
Recalling Lin Zhongtian's miraculous treatment methods, Zhao Lihe's eyes gradually became weird.
"Brother, did you take some script that tells you how to practice martial arts while others are practicing martial arts and how to become an immortal? After time travel, you hid in a deep mountain and old forest to practice secretly, and only officially came out of the mountain after you achieved great success?"
Perhaps it was because he hadn't spoken for so long that Zhao Lihe's desire to talk was overwhelming.
Before Lin Zhongtian could answer his question, he couldn't wait to throw out his guessed answer.
Lin Zhongtian was speechless, but he still nodded reluctantly: "That's not wrong."
"It's true!" Zhao Lihe's eyes widened and he couldn't help but take a step back and looked at the fellow in front of him and said, "So, this body was also controlled by some kind of magic by you, right?"
Lin Zhongtian couldn't help laughing when he heard this. It was fun to chat with people with the same brain circuit.
Without him having to explain anything, Zhao Lihe figured it all out using the logic of the online articles he had read.
Although his guess is somewhat different from reality, if you put aside the appearance and look at the essence, this is really the case.
"You guessed it right. I did travel through time with a golden finger. Why, didn't you?"
Zhao Lihe was stunned for a moment, then his face turned slightly red and hesitantly said: "Does martial arts talent count?"
"...What do you think?" Lin Zhongtian was a little speechless. He looked him up and down, nodded and said, "Looking at how miserable you are, it really doesn't look like you are cheating."
Hearing this ridicule, Zhao Lihe blushed at first, and then straightened up.
"Fellow...well, I forgot to ask, brother, what's your name?"
"Lin Zhongtian."
Lin Zhongtian said his real name without hesitation.
Zhao Lihe nodded and shouted very skillfully: "Brother Lin!"
Lin Zhongtian said quickly: "No, I might not be as old as you. How old are you?"
Zhao Lihe replied: "In 2002, I was exactly 20 years old before time travel. I had just been discharged from the army and returned to school."
"Have you ever been a soldier?"
"Yeah, I joined the military right after I graduated from high school. After my two-year compulsory period, I left the army and went to college. Unfortunately, I only went to college for a month and I didn't even have a girlfriend before I was hit by a truck. Time traveled.”
"..."
Lin Zhongtian was speechless, hesitated, and then said helplessly: "This seems a bit difficult to calculate. I was born in 1999, so I am three years older than you based on my date of birth. But before I traveled through time, I was only a sophomore, only 19 years old. And one year younger than you..."
Zhao Lihe laughed: "What's so hard to calculate? Since we are fellow villagers, we naturally have to follow the calculations of our hometown!"
Lin Zhongtian thought about it carefully and could only reluctantly agree with Zhao Lihe's statement. After all, if it were really counted, the endless years he had spent in the gray fog space indeed deserved the title of big brother.
"Hehe." Zhao Lihe chuckled and continued, "Brother Lin, although I don't have a golden finger like you, I am a modern person who has watched the movie Xiuchundao after all!"
"Furthermore, I served as a soldier and received ideological and political education in the army. Relying on my foresight of the plot and my head full of modern ideas and advanced knowledge, I still made a career."
"Oh? Then how did you end up in this situation?"
"..." Zhao Lihe froze when he heard this, and his face turned gloomy, "It's a long story."
Lin Zhongtian said without hesitation: "It doesn't matter, I have plenty of time tonight, you just say it doesn't matter."
Although Lin Zhongtian said this, Zhao Lihe seemed to have calmed down from the excitement of "fellows meeting fellows". He glanced at the illusion around him as if he had returned to reality, and hesitated: "Brother Lin, this is a Tianlao after all... …”
Lin Zhongtian laughed: "It doesn't matter what the prison is, just come over here."
Zhao Lihe was startled for a moment, then seemed to understand something, and stood at the position designated by Lin Zhongtian with excitement.
The next second, with a loud noise, the cell wall burst open.
An oil lamp stretched out from the hole in the wall. Through the dim light, Zhao Lihe saw the tall figure with a smile on his lips. It was Lin Zhongtian's other body - the Bone Demon Hand Fu Qingyun.
Zhao Lihe stared at this scene blankly.
Although he had expected it, he still couldn't help but be a little shocked when he saw this scene with his own eyes.
The strength of the human body can actually reach this level, comparable to that of cranes and hammer cranes.
"What are you doing standing still? Haven't you had enough time in this hellish place?"
The teasing voice in his ears awoke Zhao Lihe from his shock. He quickly stepped forward and got out of the hole opened by Lin Zhongtian.
At the same time, the loud noise coming from the cell had alerted all the prisoners and guards.
The prisoners who were imprisoned in the iron fence grabbed the iron fence with both hands, pressed their faces between the gaps in the fence, stared at the direction of the sound with their eyes wide open, and yelled all kinds of crazy things.
Some want the prison robber to take him away with him, and for this he is willing to give everything and make any promise.
Some people have long understood that the other party cannot rescue them, so they call out to the jailers loudly, hoping to make these prison robbers fail.
The ugliness and complexity of human nature are clearly revealed on these hundreds of faces.
Lin Zhongtian and Zhao Lihe both heard these calls, but they had no reaction.
This may be a bit inaccurate, because Zhao Lihe is indeed a little anxious.
He took Lin Zhongtian's arm and said quickly: "Brother, let's leave quickly. If we don't leave, not only the jailers, but also the masters from the Jin Yiwei and the Yamen will come!"
"Don't worry, I still have some things to deal with."
Lin Zhongtian smiled and patted his shoulder, then turned and walked into the cell. Under Zhao Lihe's slightly anxious eyes, he grabbed the head of the body at the door of the cell.
After all the gray fog was sucked away, Lin Zhongtian patted it casually.
The cell leader's body flew backwards like a cannonball, hitting the hard stone wall, and then slid softly to the ground, leaving a trail of dark red blood mixed with blue and white on the wall.
After doing this, Lin Zhongtian clapped his hands, walked out of the cell, grabbed Zhao Lihe's shoulders, jumped up, and disappeared into the ink-like darkness.
