"It looks like a rudimentary version of that door. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Looking at the magnified version of the Trialist's Brand in front of me—it had become a space-time portal by this time; Zhang Xiao glanced at it a few times and walked in.
Of course, what Zhang Xiao was referring to was the door opened by Ji Qing, in fact, he was right, this was the trialist version of the Hero's Gate, and the role was the same - through time and space.
However, compared to the Hero's Gate, which can be opened at almost any time and in any place, the Trialist's Door can only be opened in a non-plot state, and it can only be a one-way return to reality.
To put it more clearly, the Hero's Gate is a cross-border teleportation, while the Trialist's Gate is a City Return Scroll.
Fortunately, the scroll of returning to the city is also enough for the current Zhang Xiao.
……
By the time Zhang Xiao could see what was in front of him, he had already returned to his home, and the familiar environment made him finally let down his guard, and at this time, the slight dizziness after crossing came.
Pressing his head, Zhang Xiao sat for a while before he recovered, he found the mobile phone he left at home, and found that the time had only been a few hours since he left, and the sky outside the window was still dark at this time.
Pouring a glass of water, Zhang Xiao sat in a dark corner, dodging the light outside the window, looking at the familiar but empty room, remembering everything he had experienced before.
“……”
He felt helpless in his heart again, just like when he was under the knife of a ghost, only this time, he was more lonely.
He is far less open-minded than he showed in front of Ji Qing, he may not be afraid of death, but he is actually not fearless, what he is afraid of is this empty house, there is one less person here.
Looking down at the trialist brand on his hand, all that Zhang Xiao thought of was Ji Qing's appearance, not her heroic posture in battle, but the terrifying picture of being engulfed in flames.
Click――
Gripping the cup in his hand tightly until he cracked it, ignoring the pain of the splinter piercing his palm, his keen senses were awakened by the smell of blood, Zhang Xiao closed his eyes, immersed in the loss of control at this moment.
"Ji Qing ......"
……
The sun rose as usual the next day, and Zhang Xiao, who had been sitting all night, seemed to be back to normal.
He changed into a suit, leather shoes, and gold-rimmed glasses, and was dressed like an elite.
No, he's the elite, and he's the top.
But the first thing the elite did today was to help his girlfriend take a leave of absence.
"Hey, Dean Li, is it? …… Hello, I am Ji Qing's fiancé Zhang Xiao...... Did you hear Ji Qing talk about me? It's over, that's what I'm supposed to do...... Yes, Ji Qing answered a phone call last night, and she had already gone abroad overnight, and it was too late yesterday, so she asked me to help her ask for leave this morning...... Oh, it's one of her grandmothers who has something to do in the United States, I don't know the specifics, so I'll tell you in person when she comes back...... Well, well, it will take about a week, so I'm sorry for you...... Okay, okay, I'll tell her...... Thank you and goodbye. ”
After maintaining Ji Qing's daily life, he hung up the phone, and he was going to maintain his daily life.
Zhang Xiao walked out of the community, stopped a taxi, reported the company's address, and he sat in the car and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He didn't think about it, he just didn't sleep all night and was a little tired, listening to the traffic in his ears, feeling the hustle and bustle of the city, and the summer morning also made people feel hot, Zhang Xiao was a little in a trance.
It's ridiculous to say that this kind of daily routine is already a lifetime in Zhang Xiao's eyes - subjectively, he has been struggling in various scripts for many days; But in fact, from an objective point of view, it has only been one day since it was selected by the system.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiao felt something and opened his eyes, he quickly looked out the car window, and then looked in the rearview mirror, but he didn't notice anything abnormal.
"Too sensitive?" He was a little shaken in his heart, although he felt some exploration just now, but now in reality, it was probably just someone who happened to recognize him, the big boss in the taxi.
didn't figure out the reason, Zhang Xiao didn't have the interest to sleep, and arrived at the company within a few minutes.
Lingtai Building, Zhang Xiao squinted at the high-rise building illuminated by the sun.
In the morning, Zhang Xiao seemed to have returned to his kingdom, holding meetings, listening to reports, making decisions, making plans, everything was so handy.
He is like the king here, no longer need to be cautious, no longer need to face the unknown, everything is so easy, like a fish in water.
It's just that Zhang Xiao's heart is ...... Feeling bored.
But the employees on the left and right, including his secretary Yang Di, did not notice the change in him, as if he had never left.
No, he really didn't leave, and in terms of time, they did work together yesterday.
At noon, after finishing his simple but boring work, Zhang Xiao did not go to eat, but sat on the boss's chair, looking at the S City outside the floor-to-ceiling window from his favorite position in the past, the traffic was running on various roads, and the pedestrians were in a hurry during the lunch break, and all this was so ...... Calm.
Yes, the noisy and noisy city, after the conversation with Ji Qing, is indeed so calm.
"Guarding your own world?"
Zhang Xiao felt that everything was so unreal, because he had never seen what Ji Qing said, but he knew that Ji Qing would not lie to him, and Ji Qing would never lie to him.
But on what grounds? Why did the system choose him? Why should he fight for someone else? It's a life-and-death battle!
For what to fight? To maintain this boring routine?
"Huh...... Savior? Heroes? It's ridiculous. Zhang Xiao took off the glasses on his nose, stopped looking at the scene outside the window, closed his eyes and sneered.
He was never a noble man, not even a good man, so how could he do such a thing as sacrificing himself for others? What's more, he doesn't like everything so much and cherishes it so much.
What he really cared about was actually only Ji Qing.
Zhang Xiao suddenly thought of a question that Ji Qing had been avoiding talking about: the trialist and the destroyer.
He knew that they were all trialists, but why were some of them given the title of Destroyers? No, they themselves seem to have accepted that appellation.
"Fate? What's the point of calling a system destiny? Zhang Xiao remembered Adam's name for the system, and that meaningful title made him have a huge curiosity about the group of people who were obviously different from Ji Qing.
Tuk Tuk –
A knock on the door interrupted Zhang Xiao's thoughts.
"Come in."
It was Yang Di who came in, and the secretary wore her hair coiled today, painted delicate light makeup, and wore a professional outfit to set off her bumpy and beautiful figure.
"Mr. Zhang, what's the matter?"
"Well, you'll accompany me to the bank later."
"Talking about business?" Yang Di was a little puzzled, why did he get off work at noon?
"No, I'm going to open an account." Zhang Xiao said, "Save a sum of money, but the name of the person who opened the account must be written on you." ”
"Is something wrong?" Yang Di was a little worried.
"No, it has nothing to do with the company, it's just that I personally need your help." Zhang Xiao thought of the system and the script, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm going to resign." ”
