Chapter 22: The Lord's Mission
Time passed minute by minute, and Wu Tian's firm and unintentional eyes melted Ji Ya's already frozen heart little by little. Although she couldn't understand Wu Tian's words, Ji Ya took Wu Tian's words as a confession to herself. Although the man in front of him was not gentle, and could even be said to be cold, Ji Ya felt a long-lost sense of security from Wu Tian. Unconsciously, the bodies of the two slowly approached, like the poles of a magnet firmly attracted.
Although she didn't say anything more, Ji Ya finally fell into Wu Tian's generous and powerful arms, sobbing in a low voice.
"With me, no one can hurt you anymore, I promise you!" Wu Tian whispered assurances in Ji Ya's ear, soothing Ji Ya's broken heart.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. After a while, the cheap mobile phone in Ji Ya's pocket rang.
Like an electric shock, Ji Ya's body trembled uncontrollably, and her originally soft and boneless body was also tense.
"I'm here, I'm not afraid." Wu Tian took out the mobile phone in the pocket of Ji Ya's school uniform and connected the phone.
"May I ask if it's Ms. Mei Ruoxin's daughter Ji Ya?" On the other end of the phone, a gentle female voice came.
"May I ask you for anything about Ji Ya?" Wu Tian asked suspiciously.
"Who are you?" The female voice on the other end of the phone asked puzzled.
"I'm Ji Ya's boyfriend." Wu Tian replied.
"Oh", the female voice on the other end of the phone said, "Ms. Mei Ruoxin's condition has been initially stabilized, please go to the hospital to go through the follow-up hospitalization procedures." ”
It turned out that it was not a funeral call from the police, but a phone call about the illness of Ji Ya's mother Mei Ruoxin. Ji Ya beside her let out a long breath, and Wu Tian, who was holding a mobile phone, asked about her mother's condition, as well as the follow-up treatment and its cost.
At the same time, in a villa in the eastern suburbs, a blood-stained young man dialed his father's phone with trembling fingers, "Dad, I killed someone!" ”
"What? You've killed someone! On the other end of the line, there was a low, angry voice.
"That broken Ji Chengfeng came to our house and asked me to pay back the money I lost in gambling last night, of course I can't pay him back. As a result, I accidentally stabbed him in a fit of rage! Trembling, the arrogant and domineering young man cried with a pale face, "Dad, I don't want to go to jail, what do you think I should do?" ”
"Hide his body so that no one else can see it, and I'll go home!"
Wu Tian would never have thought that Ji Chengfeng had been stabbed to death before the poison attacked! So, the other party did not choose to call the police, but hid the body privately! And the final result of this matter was that Ji Chengfeng's body was secretly sent to the crematorium under the operation of powerful forces and turned into a box of ashes! As for Ji Chengfeng, he has also become an inconspicuous member of the many missing people in the country!
Although Wu Tian did not expect that the other party would be the first to stab the person to death before the poison attacked, Wu Tian expected the other party's possible reaction. Because he didn't receive a call from the police for a long time, Wu Tian guessed the possible fate of Ji Chengfeng.
Wu Tian did not accompany Ji Ya to the hospital to visit the patient, because Wu Tian had a more important task, that is, to raise medical expenses. A cancer patient like Mei Ruoxin, who is already dying, is absolutely not suitable for the use of a consciousness push device. After all, no one knows when Ji Ya's mother's condition will deteriorate. If Ji Ya's mother's consciousness is not in her body when her condition deteriorates, wouldn't she die directly in a coma?
In the night, in the sanatorium in the south of the city, Tang Chengyi, who had given up treatment and wanted to enjoy the last three months of his life, suddenly received an inexplicable unknown phone call. Tang Chengyi, who admired the moonlit night, frowned dissatisfiedly, but still picked up the phone that did not show the number.
"The life of a small earthling, is so weak and short." Sharp and sarcastic words came from the receiver of the mobile phone, and the angry Tang Chengyi hung up the phone directly! However, at the next moment, in front of Tang Chengyi, a silver-gray metal cabinet in the shape of a coffin appeared out of thin air! And the disturbing mocking voice came out of the loudspeaker on the surface of the coffin!
"What's going on? Who are you?! Tang Chengyi, who was nearly half a hundred years old, looked at the bizarre picture in front of him in disbelief, reached out and picked up a wine bottle, squinted his eyes and asked cautiously and carefully.
"Tiny human beings, do you want to understand the meaning of life? Want to ...... Alive? Bright white text appears on the lid of the coffin, with "YES" and "NO" options appearing underneath the text.
Tang Chengyi has never read the web novel, and he doesn't know that this is the routine in "Infinite Horror". However, in the face of such a question that goes straight to the heart, how could Tang Chengyi, who has only three months to live, choose the option "NO"? Therefore, Tang Chengyi's finger pointed on the option to open the consciousness push hatch represented by the "YES" option.
Seeing the "high-tech coffin lid" slowly sliding to the side, although Tang Chengyi was very reluctant to enter the coffin three months in advance, he still stepped into the comfortable "coffin".
The coffin lid closed slowly, and after a slight stinging pain, Tang Chengyi's consciousness seemed to have crossed countless years and came to a novel and cruel world!
"Welcome to the world of robots and clones, rookie! Are you ready to become strong or face death? ”
Because the follow-up plan has not yet been launched, the first batch of adventurers who were selected by Wu Tian have not received enough battlefield training. Therefore, the adventure mission in the first act is not to push their consciousness to a distant planet like the Earth Distant Star, but to enter a virtual and highly realistic rookie training scene built by the consciousness push pod. However, as long as they pass the Newcomer Training Scenario, they will still receive rewards that can be redeemed for virtual items. As for the exchange between virtual items and credits, it is not open yet. Yes, what these ten adventurers can do at the moment is to play a full online game that doesn't really die! Oh no, Act 1 falls under the category of a single-player game.
Tang Chengyi didn't know that he was actually playing a single-player game. As a normal human being who is extremely attached to his life and desperately does not want to die, Tang Chengyi undoubtedly chose to go all out to deal with it! As a former special forces, although Tang Chengyi's body in reality has collapsed, his sense of battle in the virtual world is still alive. As a result, Tang Chengyi successfully cleared the rookie pass in the first act and won an excellent final evaluation! Looking at the dazzling array of exchange goods in the redemption column, especially the clone body in the goods that can give him a new body, Tang Chengyi asked excitedly, "May I ask the Lord God, can I bring these goods to the real world?" ”
"Adventurer C0001, the rewards obtained in the newcomer trial do not support the exchange of real-world items!"
"May I ask the Lord God, how many days will the next mission begin?" Tang Chengyi then asked.
"The day before the task is released, the specific time of the next mission will be released! Be careful not to be discovered by others, otherwise the portal will be occupied by someone else once the adventurer is killed! Finally, Rong Ke pretended to be the main god and reminded him additionally.
