Chapter 549
A familiar figure suddenly appeared from outside the temple.
That's right, flash.
Like a ghost, he passed through the outer wall of the temple with ritual restrictions and walked in quietly.
"Good grandson?"
When Chen Jing was still surprised, the thin "ghost" had already come to him, with the same kind smile on his face.
"Old man, why are you here?!" Chen Jing looked at the kind and kind old man in front of him with confusion on his face, "I should hide my breath well...how did you find me?" ?”
"I feel it." Chen Bofu smiled and shrugged, "I just felt that you were back, so I stopped by to take a look, but I didn't expect that you were really back!"
"I originally wanted to give you a surprise..." Chen Jing sighed helplessly, feeling that his "infiltration plan" was a failure.
After falling into a brief sense of frustration, Chen Jing quickly became excited again because he found that the old man's aura had changed...
"Grandpa, have you been promoted?! I knew it!! After I am promoted to Sequence Eight, I will definitely be able to help you break through the barrier!!" Chen Jingxing rushed around the old man a few times, carefully looking at the old man who was also Sequence Eight, "Now The mainstay of our Carkosha is not only the ancient god 'Xi', but also Grandpa you... It seems that Jegertos has not been promoted, right?"
"No." Chen Boxu shook his head, "I am the only one who has been promoted to Sequence Eight."
"So... you should be closer to Sequence Eight than him... so your promotion will be smoother than him..." Chen Jing murmured thoughtfully, with a smile on his face. He was only happy that the old man was successfully promoted. "But it doesn't matter! Grandpa, it's enough for you to be successfully promoted!"
"Actually, I'm of no use." Chen Bofu sighed, "With your current level eight strength, no one in our world is qualified to be your opponent."
At this moment, Chen Jing was only focused on being happy and did not notice the confusion flashing in the old man's eyes when he looked at him.
"Ask them to come to a meeting!" Chen Jing said excitedly, like a child who has received a certificate in school and is eager to present a treasure to his family. "I want to tell you some good news!"
"Turing is dead?" Chen Boxu asked directly.
"Damn... Old man, you are so boring!" Chen Jing looked at the old man helplessly, thinking that this old man's emotional intelligence is really too low. Didn't he see that your good grandson was trying to sell it out? He exposed it with one sentence. What's the meaning!
"You can't hide this even if you want to." Chen Bofu said with a smile, "When you fought with Turing, I could sense your aura, but then its aura disappeared, isn't it dead?"
"Really?" Chen Jing looked at the old man in surprise, "Can you sense our breath?"
"Although the distance is far away and the aura is blurry, I can indeed sense it...especially you. Compared to Turing, your aura is clearer." Chen Boxu answered truthfully.
"The Sequence Eight Familia are just extraordinary." Chen Jing sighed loudly, "That battlefield is not that far away from Kakosa. In the deepest part of the vacuum universe, it is almost close to the hometown of the Creator. At that time, I was almost exhausted from traveling, and you..."
Suddenly, Chen Jing lost his voice.
Because something suddenly occurred to me.
Before going to the Hanging City, he also entrusted "Mr. Fog" to help him act to appease people's hearts. He told everyone in Kakosha that he was going to retreat, but now the old man obviously knew about his battle with Turing.
"Grandpa... I used the excuse of seclusion to lie to you before... Aren't you angry?" Chen Jing asked cautiously, for fear of being scolded by the old man.
"You knew I would be angry and you lied to me!"
Chen Bofu cursed helplessly and raised his leg as if to kick him, but in the end he didn't kick him out and just patted Chen Jing twice on the shoulder.
"Don't have a meeting with them yet." Chen Boxu looked at the steps in front of the throne, then turned around and walked over, "We, grandfather and grandson, will chat for a while first."
"Okay." Chen Jing followed the old man without thinking much and sat on the steps next to him, "Grandpa, what do you want to talk about? Do you want to know how I got promoted? Actually, this is..."
"Jingjing."
"ah?"
Hearing the old man's sudden interruption, Chen Jing subconsciously turned his head and glanced, only to see a blank expression on the old man's face.
"Are you...Are you the Chen Jing of the calculation world, or the Chen Jing of the inner world?"
Chapter 827: Blood is Thicker than Water (Part 1)
"I...I am Chen Jing."
Looking at the confused old man in front of him, Chen Jing didn't know how to answer for a moment, and his mind couldn't help but become confused.
From what the old man said, it is not difficult to see that he should already know about the inner and outer worlds, and even know that the two worlds have different scenes.
in other words.
Doesn’t this fucking reveal your identity?
If Chen Jing had a hundred little secrets that he didn't want outsiders to know, and these hundred little secrets had to be ranked according to his unwillingness to be exposed, then the top three secrets would definitely include "revealing his identity".
Judging from Chen Jing's understanding of the old man, revealing his true identity to him will definitely bring a lot of trouble, but this is just trouble and does not mean that Chen Jing's life will be in danger.
If it was when he first came to the inner world, before the official start of the biological leap exam... At that stage, the main reason why Chen Jing was afraid of exposing his identity was because he was afraid of death. There was no other reason, he was simply afraid that this old madman would get emotional and kill him.
But after such a long time of contact, even if Chen Jing was stupid, he could see that although this old madman was easily controlled by emotions and occasionally lost his mind, and his madness was terrifying, he would never kill his only "grandson".
He wouldn't.
He couldn't bear to do it.
Even this option never appeared in his mind.
"Of course I know you are Chen Jing." Chen Bofu murmured, his eyes becoming more and more confused, "But which one are you... my useless grandson... or the one in the outer world..."
"We are the same person."
Chen Jing answered without hesitation, his voice trembling faintly, and it was obvious that he was not calm inside.
"The inner and outer worlds, one positive and one negative, are the two poles of the dimension. The creatures living in them are bidirectional. When the door to the world opens, it is inevitable that the two will merge into one..."
"I know everything you said." Chen Bofu slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, then lit it for himself, took two puffs, and spoke in a very hoarse voice, "At the moment of completing the promotion, I saw a particularly large hourglass..."
"Hourglass?" Chen Jing was stunned.
"Yes, the two ends of the hourglass are the inner and outer worlds, and I am in the endless quicksand, circulating back and forth between the two worlds." Chen Bofu bit the cigarette holder tightly, his expression was particularly painful, "I don't know if this is a necessary process for promotion to Sequence Eight. At that time, there were many more things in my mind, which should be some kind of data information..."
According to Chen Bofu.
The process of promotion to Sequence Eight is far more complicated than he imagined. The data information that was poured into his brain without warning was mostly some "useless information", which simply means it has nothing to do with the promotion sequence.
"That information introduced me to the relationship between the inner and outer worlds, especially the information related to the outer world, which was more detailed, from the human history of the outer world to the development of science and technology... and then to some biological leap exam."
Speaking of this, Chen Bofu couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"I thought I was dreaming at the time, but I soon realized that I was not dreaming..."
"What else did you see besides these?" Chen Jing asked tentatively, with doubts in his heart.
In theory, the promotion of Sequence Eight should not have this process, just like "Xi" in the Western Continent and the Buddha Mother of the [Great Buddha Mother Temple]. When they were promoted to Sequence Eight, they didn't have so many strange encounters.
So why did the old man see the connection line between the two worlds? Why did he receive those inexplicable information?
Chen Jing couldn't figure it out, he just felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
"I also saw your grandfather." Chen Bofu said suddenly, then frowned and corrected himself, "To be precise, I saw another me."
"My grandfather..." Chen Jing's face, which had been barely calm before, suddenly flashed a trace of uncontrollable excitement, but he was also worried that the old man would have other ideas, so he didn't dare to expose it too obviously, "You are also my grandfather!"
"I know." Chen Bofu shook his head, "I won't think too much, don't worry, I'm not that narrow-minded..."
"Where is he?" Chen Jing couldn't help asking, "Is he still alive?"
Although Chen Jing wanted to treat them equally, it is undeniable that the grandfather in the outer world has a different meaning to him. After all, his subjective consciousness still follows Chen Jing in the outer world...
Compared with the grandfather in the inner world, the old man in the outer world seems to be more unkind. In Chen Jing's memory, the impression he left on Chen Jing is only taciturn and indifferent, and he seems to care about this grandson at all.
Because of this, Chen Jing had a very bad impression of the old man, and sometimes even hated him... He hated his indifference, his neglect of the family, and why he had no human touch at all!
Before the biology leap test appeared, Chen Jing had always envied other people's healthy families. Even if they didn't have parents, they had kind and gentle grandparents...
It was not until the biology leap test began that Chen Jing's mentality gradually changed, especially after learning about some transactions between the old man and the creator "Mu". He realized that the old man in the outer world did not love this family, but because of some external factors, he "became a demon".
In the letter left to Chen Jing, the old man's words were very clear.
He regretted and felt guilty.
So he had to find ways to make up for it all.
Even if it meant sacrificing his own life.
"Is he still alive?" Chen Jing's voice couldn't help but become a little softer. Seeing Chen Bofu smoking silently, he felt a growing ominous premonition in his heart. "Is he...dead?"
"He talked to me a lot." Chen Bofu didn't answer his grandson's question directly, but sighed, "But his personality is completely different from mine. He is taciturn and cold, like a piece of wood."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Bofu turned his head to look at his grandson.
"He told me a lot of important information about the inner and outer worlds, and also introduced the biological leap test we are going through... Damn, using our inner world as an exam room, what is the basis for this!"
Chen Bofu cursed and became angry. Thinking of this incident, he couldn't help but want to curse.
"Grandpa, is he... alive or dead?" Seeing that the old man deliberately avoided the topic, Chen Jing became a little panicked and asked hurriedly, "Is he a consciousness or something you saw?"
"I don't know." Chen Bofu shook his head, "He didn't say."
"Then is he still alive???" Chen Jing just wanted to get this answer.
Chen Bofu shook his head again and finally said those words.
"It's considered dead."
Chapter 828 Blood is thicker than water (Part 2)
"It's considered dead...what does it mean to be dead..."
Chen Jing looked at the old man with a pale face, his voice was trembling unconsciously, and the despair on his face was obvious.
"Is he really dead???"
When making the final determination, Chen Jing's mind had already seen many images buried deep in his memory, such as the figure from behind in front of the desk in the study, or the expressionless old face that he occasionally saw. face.
Although he had been mentally prepared early on, he knew that the old man's involvement might not necessarily end well. After all, dealing with those creators was a very risky matter, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was seeking skin from a tiger...
But when Chen Jingzhen heard the news from the old man's mouth, he couldn't bear it after all, and the grief from the depths of his soul instantly engulfed him.
he knows.
He is the result of the fusion of two Chen Jings.
But he couldn't deny that...the consciousness that dominated this body was still based on himself in the world.
Although he still had a grandfather in the other world and many close friends, at this moment, he felt an inexplicable and painful feeling of loneliness.
It may be a bit unconscionable to say this, after all, the old man in front of me can be regarded as his biological grandfather, but this inexplicable feeling is indeed like this, as if... his last relative has passed away.
No more relatives.
"I'm going to cry again!" Chen Bofu suddenly put his arms around his grandson's shoulders and laughed loudly, "Look! I'm just telling you! Your relationship with him must be very deep!"
"If it were you, I would cry too." Chen Jing's voice was dull as he raised his hand to wipe his face, "How did he die?"
As he spoke, Chen Jing's tone gradually turned cold, and the bone-deep murderous intent came out of every word.
“Did the Creator do it?”
"No." Chen Boxu shook his head and patted Chen Jing's shoulder lightly, "He did it himself."
"What do you mean?" Chen Jing asked hurriedly.
"He used himself as the anchor for the test run of the examination room, and then let you enter the examination room first before all the candidates..." Chen Bofu said softly, "He helped you overcome the initial difficulties and took you on the journey. Following the Yellow King's correct path, his mission is accomplished."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Boxu also laughed at himself.
"Using the terminology you use to play games in the world... you should be considered the kind of character whose birth point has not been refreshed." Chen Bofu's voice was very soft, "I am a madman, and the people in our building are not normal either. , coupled with the fact that you lack key information in the early stage of promotion..."
"I know he helped me a lot." Chen Jing said tremblingly, "Those garbled subtitles... I had already guessed it was him!"
Chen Jing put his hands on his knees and lowered his head in despair. He was huddled silently in the corner of the steps as if he had been wronged when he was a child, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"I...I'm sorry...Grandpa...I..."
"Why are you apologizing to me? I told you, I'm not so narrow-minded!"
Chen Bofu laughed angrily. He was still a little confused and felt unspeakable sadness, but when he saw his grandson about to drop the little pearl, he immediately felt distressed.
"I know you regard me as your biological grandfather... Damn it, I am your biological grandfather! We don't have so many vain things!"
Chen Bofu slapped his grandson heavily on the shoulder and couldn't help but curse.
"Actually, I figured it out right away. Regardless of whether you are from the inner world or the outer world, you are all my grandson. My grandson's name is Chen Jing, and he looks like you!"
"Um!"
