Night’s Nomenclature - Chapter 28
[Twenty-eight, come back again]
Mechanical guards in Prison No. 18 carried away the bodies of the three dead men.
There was some silence in the prison, and everyone was silent.
Qing Chen sat at the dining table for no idea what he was thinking, and his face was a little pale.
This was the first time he felt fear, and the unease in his heart slowly turned into physical discomfort, and he couldn’t even digest the breakfast he just ate.
The teacher in the school taught him what is a function and what is a subject, predicate and object.
His parents taught him how to use chopsticks, how to wash clothes, and how to take care of himself.
But no one taught him what death was.
Only if you have seen this kind of thing with your own eyes will you know how shocking it is that life is dissipating in front of your eyes.
As for the fact that he personally saw the dead man commit suicide by biting the poison sac, I am afraid that if he returns to the world and tells it to others, others will think that he is making up a story.
Li Shutong looked at Qingchen and asked, “This is the first time I witnessed death?”
“Well,” Qing Chen replied with pursed lips.
“Are you afraid?” Li Shutong asked.
“A little bit,” Qing Chen nodded.
“You know, everyone has two lives,” Li Shutong laughed. “The second life begins when you realize that there is only one life.”
From that moment on, you will start telling yourself the importance of time and realize how much time you have wasted.
For some reason, the more frightened Qing Chen was at the moment, the more calm he became.
He examines his past and contemplates his future.
Li Shutong looked at him and asked: “These three dead men are most likely coming for me, so you help me find them out, it is considered that I owe you a favor, you can exchange something with me, what you want to exchange. ?”
From the beginning of playing chess, Li Shutong asked him several times what he wanted to change.
Qingchen said, “I want a list of the members of the Li Consortium.”
“Strange,” Li Shutong said, “Why don’t you change the way I become an extraordinary person? There are not many people in this world who can make me owe favor, but the only one who doesn’t cherish the opportunity very much is you alone.”
Qingchen thought for a while and said, “Because this little thing can’t be equal to your secret value at all. If you want to exchange this kind of thing for an extraordinary opportunity, you can’t get it.”
Li Shutong smiled and said, “How do you know if you don’t try?”
Qingchen continued: “And, when the time is right, you will give it to me yourself, no need to change it.”
Li Shutong’s smile grew stronger and stronger: “You are smarter than I thought, and you are also more patient and forbearance. But you are right, some things are not for exchange, and you will naturally get them when the time comes. Seeing blood made me a little disappointed, but I thought about it carefully, if you ignore life, I will find it boring instead.”
After speaking, he asked Lin Xiaoxiao to get a list of members of the Li family: “I’m curious, what do you want this thing for?”
“I don’t need to explain the purpose, right?” Qing Chen asked.
“Forget it, I won’t ask,” Li Shutong waved his hands in disbelief: “This is to repay your favor, do whatever you want.”
…
At night, Qingchen was in the cell waiting for the countdown to return.
He originally thought that Lin Xiaoxiao would come to do the nightmare test today, but the result did not come.
Perhaps the other party felt that he was no longer bound by the nightmare, so the test was useless.
Or maybe, Li Shutong felt that there was no need to test again.
Faintly, Qing Chen felt that he was getting closer and closer to the supernatural being.
The countdown hadn’t reset to zero yet, but he lay directly on the cold bed with his eyes closed and fell asleep. Unlike the previous few times when he was anxiously waiting for his return, Qing Chen’s mentality became more and more calm after witnessing his death.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already lying in his hut on Xingshu Road, and there was the sound of birds chirping outside the window.
It is also bright.
He glanced at the white lines on his arms and counted down 40:20:21.
It looks like it’s two more days.
“The process of crossing is silent, and even sleeping people can’t wake up,” Qing Chen thought to himself.
After two days of intense stress, Qing Chen, who had returned to the watch world, suddenly felt relieved and much more relaxed.
However, at this moment, he has already begun to look forward to crossing again, and there are more opportunities waiting for him there.
He put on his school uniform and was about to go out, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Xue leading Li Tongyun.
“Morning, Aunt Jiang Xue, is this time crossing… all right?” Qingchen asked.
“It’s alright,” Jiang Xue said with a smile, “I’m about to send Xiaoyun to school. When you come home after school at night, I’ll buy some fish and ribs to celebrate.”
“What to celebrate?” Qing Chen wondered.
“Let’s talk about it at night, you’ll know when the time comes,” Jiang Xue left with a smile, leaving only Qingchen thinking.
On the way, Qing Chen turned on his mobile phone and stared at the hot search, wanting to see what new things happened after this time-travel.
Sure enough, a hot search caught his attention: foreign news reports, someone selling intelligence on the dark web said that killing a traveler would not inherit the opportunity to travel.
When Qingchen saw the news, he was stunned, because behind these few words, it meant that a fresh life had passed away.
The reality is often more bloody than the words show.
When he got to school, he found that the next class had gathered a lot of people to watch.
Qingchen grabbed Yu Junyi, a member of the study committee of his class who was joining in the fun, and asked, “What’s going on, what do you read when you read www.sonicmtl.com?”
Yu Junyi explained: “Didn’t I say before that there was a transmigrator in the next class, called Liu Dezhu, he just came to school, and everyone was asking him about transmigration.”
Qing Chen was stunned for a moment, he didn’t expect the other party to come to school.
You must know that the goods were taken away by the mechanical prison guards as soon as they entered. In the past two days, he has not seen each other again.
According to Qingchen’s estimation, he thought that the other party would have some psychological shadow, and then took a leave of absence like Huang Jixian did. Unexpectedly, the other party was sitting in the classroom as if nothing was happening.
At this time, Liu Dezhu was surrounded by classmates, and someone asked loudly, “Where did you appear after you traveled through the past?”
“Yes, what is the identity of traveling through the past?”
“Why don’t you have mechanical limbs? I see that many people who pass through have them.”
“Have you really crossed over, aren’t you joking?”
Everyone asked me every word, Qingchen squeezed forward, wanting to hear where the other party was taken by the mechanical prison guard and what he experienced.
However, Liu Dezhu seemed to be in a hurry to be asked: “I did cross!”
“Then why don’t you have mechanical limbs?”
Liu Dezhu scratched his neck: “Isn’t there a lot of people who don’t have mechanical limbs, and it’s a good thing to have mechanical limbs? Tell you, I traveled to Prison No. 18 and saw Li Shutong!”
There was a sudden silence in the classroom.
He Xiaoxiao is a very well-known game anchor, and his reputation has skyrocketed after the time-traveler incident, especially among students.
So everyone knows that Prison No. 18 is a very important place, and Li Shutong is a very important figure in the world.
