Chapter 47
"You're such a kind kid."
Chen Bofu slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. His weathered face was hidden behind the smoke, making it difficult to see clearly, and he spoke incomprehensible words.
"Ever since you were sensible...you have been so kind that I don't know what to do...you will cry when you see grandpa scolding people...you will also cry when you see grandpa beating people..."
Chen Jing listened quietly without making a sound, his hands resting on the edge of the rooftop subconsciously holding the guardrail tightly.
"Grandpa thought at that time, with a personality like yours, you are destined to be unable to survive in this world, especially if you are still an ordinary person..."
"But that's okay."
"Fortunately, you are an ordinary person and don't live as long as grandpa. Grandpa can take care of you for the rest of your life."
"If you want to be kind, grandpa will ask you to be kind. If anyone dares to bully you, I will kill his whole family..."
"But it's different now. You are an old descendant."
When Chen Bofu said this, he suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Chen Jing.
"My dear grandson, do you know what this means?"
Chen Jing shook his head and said he didn't know.
"It means you will have the ability to protect yourself in the future, but there will also be many unexpected risks, so you have to be prepared..."
Chen Bofu shook the ashes from his cigarette and grinned.
"Since God has opened his eyes and allowed you to transform into an old descendant, then you must not waste God's kindness. You cannot stay in the low-level sequence. You must work hard to advance..."
Chen Bofu gestured in the air with his fingers, drawing steps that were invisible to the naked eye.
"You will be safer with each level you go to, and there will be fewer people who can threaten you. Even if grandpa is not with you, no one will dare to bully you anymore."
"How strong do you have to be to be considered strong?" Chen Jing asked curiously, looking at the old man and blinking, "Like you, grandpa?"
"At least you have to be like me. At least at my level, everyone has to look at your face."
Chen Boxu couldn't help but laugh, raised his hand and continued to gesture, his tone was just like when he was coaxing his grandson, and the fingers he used to gesture almost reached the sky.
"You remember to keep getting promoted and getting stronger and stronger until no one dares to disobey you... Only when you stand at the highest point will you understand what it means to truly live."
"Really... alive..." Chen Jing looked thoughtful.
"Yes, you can ignore any external conditions and live your life according to your own ideas. This is what you call real living."
Chen Bofu suddenly stretched out his hands crazily, as if to embrace the Gehro Moon God hanging in the sky.
"My grandson should live like this. If anyone dares to make you unhappy, I will let him die!"
"Then it's time for me to work hard." Chen Jing raised his eyes to look at the old man, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
"Of course you should work hard. You have no idea how terrible your talent is. Jingjing, look at the moonlight in the sky..."
Chen Bofu laughed, and his words were filled with pride for his grandson.
"Grandpa has seen countless descendants in his life, but you are the only one... who is just a Sequence 1 descendant, but you don't go crazy under the moonlight of the Moon Ceremony Period."
Hearing this, Chen Jing suddenly became nervous.
"This... it seems so..." Chen Jing didn't know how to explain it for a moment, because he had forgotten about this before.
yes.
The moonlight during the Sacrificial Moon Period is the nightmare of all low-level ancient descendants.
Only the Old Descendants who have been promoted to higher sequences are immune to the erosion of these moonlights.
"You are not a brat like Ryan. If I hadn't brought a 'relic' to him, he would have turned into a madman on the day of the lunar month."
"Maybe it's because the sequence of my awakening is quite special..." Chen Jing was so nervous that his heartbeat started to speed up, but he didn't dare to expose his face too much, "It seems like the moonlight can't corrode me..."
At this time, Chen Jing had begun to feel uncontrollable anxiety, because the time for him to return to the real world was getting closer and closer, but he still had not thought of a way to "escape".
——
[Countdown to return: 0 hours, 15 minutes and 41 seconds]
——
The countdown on the light screen was still running. Every second that passed by, Chen Jing's heart would contract violently.
"Grandpa... I want to go out..." Chen Jing finally couldn't help but speak. Seeing the old man's confused expression, he hurriedly explained, "Kui Nan has eaten all the snacks at home... I want to go out and buy some..."
"Let Ryan go...forget it."
Halfway through his words, Chen Bofu was suddenly startled and then changed his words.
"You can go if you want to. I haven't been out for so many days, so just go to the city to relax..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Bofu grabbed Chen Jing's right hand, and before he had time to react, he turned over the guardrail and jumped directly from the rooftop.
Same situation as last time.
The moment he landed, Chen Jing clearly felt that something was holding him up.
It was like stepping on a sponge for an instant.
At the same time that they landed on the ground, Lawrence, who was peeking at Bai Aji not far away, instantly slipped away, while Bai Aji slowly stood up and ran towards the master Chen Jing affectionately, neighing from his mouth. .
"It's a lot of trouble to take the elevator, but it's much faster this way..."
Chen Bofu let go of Chen Jing's hand, then put his hands behind his back with a smile, and nodded again to his good grandson.
"Go and take Bai Aji with you. Grandpa is waiting for your return at home."
"good……"
Chen Jing nodded guiltily and walked towards the gate of the community with Bai Aji.
But before he took a few steps, he couldn't help but look back.
The old man was still the same old man.
Nothing strange.
But the old man's eyes made Chen Jing confused.
That was not the look of seeing a child go out shopping. That look... reminded Chen Jing of his grandmother who had passed away long ago.
That old lady.
Chen Jing remembered that when he first went to the university to register, the old lady stood at the gate of the train station and looked at him eagerly. She knew that the child was going to a far place, so there was such reluctance in her eyes.
"Grandpa...what's wrong with you..." Chen Jing couldn't help asking, feeling that he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"I'm fine, you go quickly, bastard..."
Chen Bofu laughed and scolded as usual, and his thin figure, as thin as iron, looked a little hunched in the moonlight.
"Grandpa is at home, waiting for you to come back."
"Okay."
Chapter 47: I will miss home even when I return to the real world
"Aji."
"?"
"I will call you that from now on..."
Chen Jing jumped onto Bai Aji's back, straddling it like a horse, and touched its "mane" that was as alive as a snake.
"Take the road ahead to the city, and then find a place where no one is."
Hearing this, Bai Aji nodded humanely and slowly began to run on the road.
The Eternal Night City in the Sacrifice Moon Period was unbearably quiet, especially the area next to the Sunset Red Community. No one could be seen on the streets, and it was as empty and silent as the scene after the end of the world.
For a while.
Chen Jing could only hear the sound of the wind passing by his ears.
——
[Countdown to return: 0 hours, 12 minutes, 11 seconds]
——
"Stop."
Hearing Chen Jing's voice, Bai Aji suddenly stopped, then turned his overly slender neck and looked back at the master on his back.
"Sure enough... you seem to be able to understand..."
Chen Jing didn't think Bai Aji's appearance was hideous and ugly at all. His eyes were still gentle, and he raised his hand to gently stroke the face that looked like a skeleton.
"If I disappear later, you go back to the community and wait for me. I will come back again..."
Bai Aji nodded as if he understood, and his particularly well-behaved reaction formed a great contrast with his hideous and twisted appearance.
Maybe it's because Bai Aji is a dependent relationship with himself.
When it appeared with the whistle summon, Chen Jing fell in love with this terrifying big guy.
Of course, it may also be because Chen Jing wanted to have a pet since he was a child, but he never got his wish, so now he has such a big pet that can understand human words, so he naturally likes it very much.
"It's a pity that you can't go back with me..." Chen Jing sighed in his heart, thinking about how he came here, and suddenly had a headache.
When he came here.
Except for the clothes on his body, he couldn't bring anything else.
If he goes back...
He shouldn't be able to take anything away except the clothes, right?
But then again.
Is it possible that the clothes he wears in the real world have the same style in the other world?
Chen Jing remembered it very clearly.
The day he first crossed into the other world, the clothes on his body were the ones he wore in the real world, and when he went home, the old man didn't show any abnormality, and didn't ask him why he changed clothes...
"Do you think my grandfather will find something?"
Thinking of the old man's eyes when he left, Chen Jing couldn't be sure if it was his illusion or something else. At that moment, he really saw a kind of eyes... that shouldn't appear in the old man's eyes.
It seemed that this departure was a farewell forever.
"Woo--" When Bai Aji acted like a spoiled child, he always made this cat-like sound, which was very inconsistent with his terrifying appearance.
"Forget it... Forget it if you don't understand..." Chen Jing patted Bai Aji's neck, looked around, and once again confirmed that no one would come to this place.
At this moment.
Chen Jing and Bai Aji were at the edge of the city.
This was also an area he accidentally discovered when he was looking at the map before.
There were unfinished buildings towering into the sky nearby.
It was impossible for anyone to find it hiding here.
——
[Return countdown: 0 hours, 8 minutes and 11 seconds]
——
"Why do I feel a little reluctant..." Chen Jing lay on Bai Aji's back and felt that the back of this big guy was particularly soft, soft and elastic, not as tough as it looked.
Bai Aji could understand Chen Jing's words, but he also couldn't understand Chen Jing's words.
It didn't know what its owner was reluctant to give up.
But it could sense the changes in its owner's emotions.
It seemed a little sad.
"Woo--" Bai Aji whimpered softly, trying to comfort Chen Jing, tilting his head and rubbing Chen Jing's face constantly, and his vertical pupils spread out and turned into cat-like eyes.
"I'm fine."
