Chapter 415: Xu Jingnian
Chapter 415: Xu Jingnian
Xu Jingnian gritted his teeth and didn't make any sound, he had a hunch that as long as he persevered, he would be able to get great benefits.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a crackling sound in his body, and a large amount of body waste and blood flowed out of his pores.
An unpleasant fishy smell suddenly appeared at the mouth of the tree hole, and the maids inside couldn't help but turn over.
The elimination of impurities in the body makes Xu Jingnian's skin as smooth as a baby, but its toughness and strength far exceed that of ordinary people.
Xu Jingnian slowly opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed from his eyes, and then disappeared into the depths of his eyes.
In the blood flowing in his body, a hint of golden yellow occasionally flashed.
"This feeling ......"
Xu Jingnian clenched his fists, and a piece of information appeared in his mind.
Chapter 7 Mechanical Apprenticeship
All this information came from the one-eyed monster that he had absorbed before.
The information was fragmented, Xu Jingnian digested it for a long time, and after synthesizing it, he clarified it a little.
"Mechanical Eye ......"
Xu Jingnian looked at the bright moon in the sky and muttered to himself.
β¦β¦
The moon fell into a deep sleep, and a bright sun rose from the distant earth.
Xu Yaya woke up from her deep sleep and woke up Xu Jingnian, who had slept very late.
"Hungry, aren't you?"
Xu Jingnian looked at the sleepy Xu Yaya.
"Eat the fruit." Xu Jingnian handed the fruit he got last night to Xu Yaya.
This green fruit doesn't look good, and it actually doesn't taste good, but it's good to eat in this environment.
Xu Yaya didn't dislike it, she took it directly and opened her mouth to eat, although the taste was unpalatable, but the two of them had never eaten anything since they were children, and they had long been used to it.
"Eat, we'll go into town when we're late." Xu Jingnian looked at Xu Yaya and said.
"Into the city?"
Xu Yaya's body stiffened, and her big eyes looked at Xiao Ye suspiciously.
"Hmm." Xu Jingnian nodded, there is no way to stay here, and only by entering the city can there be a glimmer of life.
"But I ......"
"It's okay, when the time comes, you can go to school to study, so you can skip the conditions for going to the city, and if you study well, you can also get a mechanical heart and strange substances for free."
Xu Jingnian touched Xu Yaya's head and said.
"But the tuition fee ......"
Xu Jingnian interrupted Xu Yaya's words: "You don't have to worry about tuition, I'll figure it out, now I can find a job in the city, it's enough for you to go to school, you are still young, what can you do if you don't study?" β
This is the method that Xu Jingnian thought of all night, leaving Xu Yaya here, Liu Zhi's group could not let her go at all, only by bringing Xu Yaya into the city, under the protection of order, she would be safe.
And as Xu Jingnian said, if you have excellent grades in school, you can get a mechanical heart
and strange substances, which is not a good idea.
"Brother, I'll try." Xu Yaya lowered her head and said.
Xu Jingnian quietly watched Xu Yaya finish eating the last green fruit.
This is the world, and if there is no concern at all, there may be no expectation of survival.
β¦β¦
Baixia City.
Baixia First Academy.
Xu Jingnian took Xu Yaya to go through the admission procedures, and then said goodbye to Xu Yaya after arranging everything.
The college has a dormitory, and Xu Yaya is also sensible, so Xu Jingnian is not worried about her, but because she has never received an education, Xu Yaya has to learn from scratch, which may make this girl suffer.
But Xu Jingnian believed her.
Just like Xu Yaya believes in Xu Jingnian.
Xu Yaya's tuition fee for half a year spent most of the savings that Xu Jingnian had saved over the years.
"Reading is really a good way out." Xu Jingnian walked on the road and muttered in a low voice.
Although he was envious, he knew that he could not go to school.
came to a machinery store, Xu Jingnian found the boss he had contacted a long time ago.
When the boss of this family went out of the city a long time ago, he owed Xu Jingnian a small favor, Xu Jingnian has not used it, and he has not used it until now, including Xu Yaya's study, which he has worked on behind.
Otherwise, with the identities of Xu Jingnian and Xu Yaya, it is impossible to let Xu Yaya enter the academy.
Xu Jingnian didn't tell anyone about the camp, in order to prevent Xu Yaya from being discovered by others, he had already disguised Xu Yaya.
It was a kind of contact lenses that could hide the eyes, and the price was not too expensive, so Xu Yaya finally hid the special nature of the eyes after bringing it on.
Although Xu Jingnian didn't know what was going on with Xu Yaya's eyes, his intuition told him that this must not be a simple matter.
After running out of favors, Xu Jingnian successfully got a job as a mechanical apprentice in a machine shop.
Although the salary of this job is not high, it is enough for Xu Yaya's tuition and living expenses, and as for Xu Jingnian's side, it is not too much.
What's more, here you can learn the mechanical production methods that Xu Jingnian has always wanted to learn.
In this world, mechanical works with strange energy will slowly replace key parts of human beings, such as hands, feet, eyes, and brains......
The materials used in the mechanical products are special, combined with the strange energy, so that the manufactured products can almost 100% integrate with the human body, without any rejection, as if they were born.
As a mechanical apprentice, Xu Jingnian is actually a miscellaneous worker, where there is a need to move, and what is tired and hard is done by the apprentice.
This is a normal thing, Xu Jingnian didn't care too much, for him, it would be good to get a salary to support himself and Xu Yaya.
And as an apprentice, although it is very hard and tiring, I can also get in touch with some mechanical production methods.
Xu Jingnian's purpose is exactly this.
He is very interested in mechanical production, but unfortunately it is very difficult to get started with this thing, a month has passed, Xu Jingnian has studied seriously for so long, only barely to get started, but it is only able to make some simple mechanical items, from the production of mechanical products related to the human body, I don't know how many worlds apart.
Xu Jingnian at the camp thought that with the departure of him and Xu Yaya, Liu Zhi and the others would put this matter down, but he obviously underestimated this group of people, and someone had already inquired about Xu Yaya's traces during this time.
The news was told to Xu Jingnian by the owner of the machinery factory.
The other party also learned by accident.
Xu Jingnian contacted Xu Yaya and asked her not to leave the school at will, as long as Xu Yaya stayed in school, it was the safest, even if Liu Zhi and the others were bold, they didn't dare to do anything in the school.
"Can't wait any longer."
Xu Jingnian rubbed his eyes, feeling a vague power sleeping inside, but this power could only sleep in the depths of his eyes without the activation of the corresponding mechanical items.
The appearance of Liu Zhi and others made Xu Jingnian feel a sense of crisis, he understood that if he waited until he created the Mechanical Eye, he probably didn't know how much time it would take, and now, what he lacked the most was time.
No one else will give him that time.
In a month's time, Xu Jingnian saved thousands of strange coins by saving money, although these strange products could not buy regular mechanical eyes, but it was enough to buy some defective or dilapidated products.
Only by activating the power in his eyes and solving the troubles caused by the camp can Xu Jingnian be able to feel at ease.
This world is always so hasty to deal with everything.
Xu Jingnian sighed and asked for a leave from the machinery factory.
When Xu Jingnian left the machinery shop, it was already evening.
This is because he didn't succeed in asking for a vacation, so he could only leave at night, and there were not many things in the machinery shop, but as an apprentice, Xu Jingnian was not qualified to ask for leave at will.
This is also the reason why it was not approved.
As soon as he left the machinery shop, Xu Jingnian subconsciously wrapped his clothes tightly.
A wave of coolness hit out of thin air, and bursts of thick fog poured into here from the far street entrance, and the mechanical shop behind him was also covered by the thick fog at this moment.
This machine shop is located in a sparsely populated area, and it is rarely visited.
Xu Jingnian encountered this situation a few times, but each time the dense fog quickly dissipated.
But this time, things seem to be a little different.
His ankles were cold, and Xu Jingnian only felt that his feet were grabbed by something.
Lowering his head, Xu Jingnian was terrified to find that there seemed to be an extra figure in his shadow.
A figure that looked like a child overlapped his own shadow.
"What's going on?"
Xu Jingnian's heart tightened, although he had also encountered this kind of fog during this time, but the shadows of other people appeared in this shadow that he had never encountered, not to mention that his feet seemed to be caught by something.
Or that the shadow is not possessed by man at all.
"Boom!"
Just when Xu Jingnian was hesitating, the dense fog around him suddenly surged wildly and enveloped him, engulfing him instantly.
β¦β¦
"Come on...... Come on...... Come here. β
Vaguely, Xu Jingnian seemed to hear something calling, he opened his eyes with difficulty, but found that his eyes seemed to be hanging with a jack pendant, no matter how hard he tried, he only narrowed a gap.
Ahead, a vague white figure seemed to lead him forward, the figure seemed to be floating, and the distance was sometimes near and sometimes far away.
Xu Jingnian's mind was dull, his brain seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't think, but he also knew that if it continued like this, he might be more auspicious, so he desperately wanted to break free from this bondage.
Like a drowning man, he desperately broke free, trying to break free from the water, but the more he broke free, the more he felt his own powerlessness, and the consciousness in his mind became more and more blurred, as if he was constantly making Xu Jingnian surrender himself.
The light in his heart dissipated little by little, and the endless darkness swallowed Xu Jingnian, and his consciousness slowly sank, as if he was about to fall into eternal darkness.
"Dingβ"
At this moment, in Xu Jingnian's mechanical heart, the spirit of the black whale emerged and erupted into a long chirp, pulling Xu Jingnian out of the darkness.
"Huhu!"
Xu Jingnian opened his eyes violently, panting heavily, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his body trembled involuntarily.
"Is it a dream?"
Xu Jingnian looked around in horror, there was no fog, there was no weird woman in white, and his shadow was normal.
"It really looks like a dream."
Xu Jingnian breathed a sigh of relief, moved his body, and suddenly froze, and there was a little sharp pain in his chest, and after he lifted his shirt, he was horrified to find that the position of his chest was actually ...... Leave a pair of black handprints!
The handprint is slender and slender, and it is not difficult to see that it is a woman's hand.
Xiao Yeshi thought of something again, lowered his head, his face became very ugly, and there was also a pair of small black handprints on his ankles.
These little handprints, if not accidental, were left by the child in his shadow.
"Weird can confine people in the weird realm, why did I suddenly break free?"
Xu Jingnian combined the situation he encountered, and instantly understood that he was almost pulled into the strange realm, and looking at this way, he was targeted by two different weirdness.
It's just that what he doesn't understand is how he broke free from the treacherous realm.
"Is it ......?"
Recalling the whale cry he heard vaguely, Xu Jingnian threw his consciousness into the mechanical heart.
In the deepest part of the mechanical heart, the spirit of the black whale has fallen into a deep sleep, and there is no longer the spirit of the previous spirit.
Seeing this scene, Xu Jingnian squinted his eyes, if he didn't guess wrong, it was indeed the spirit of the black whale that pulled him out of the treacherous realm, but it also exhausted all its strength because of it.
The black handprints on his chest and ankles slowly faded away until they were no longer visible from the outside, but Xu Jingnian could still feel their presence.
"This matter is still not over, and the next time the Strange Domain comes, I will still be pulled in again." Xu Jingnian frowned, turned around and returned to the machinery shop.
It was only now that he understood why the masters and apprentices in the mechanical shop rarely came out at night, and there must be something special in the mechanical shop that could prevent the arrival of the Strange Realm.
Xu Jingnian felt the handprint, and got the next time for the advent of these two kinds of strange realms, one three days later, and one five days later.
There are only two ends for those who are targeted by the Trick Domain, either they die in the Trick Domain or break the Trick Domain and come out.
The Strange Domain is a more advanced existence than the weird, and it stands to reason that this kind of existence cannot target an ordinary person like Xu Jingnian, but today's scene has broken Xu Jingnian's cognition.
The city can resist the arrival of the strange, but the Strange Domain is not subject to this restriction, even if Xiao Ye is hiding in the mechanical shop and has the mark of the Strange Domain, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to escape the tracking of the Strange Domain.
"There are only three days to ......," Xu Jingnian, who returned to the machinery shop, clenched his fists.
The situation of the Trick Domain can only be faced by himself, Xu Jingnian can't seek foreign help, and the Trick Domain after three days can only rely on himself.
It's business as usual in the machine shop, and the treacherous realm outside doesn't seem to affect everything inside.
However, when Xu Jingnian stepped into the corridor of the machinery shop, an elderly mechanic suddenly frowned and glanced at Xu Jingnian lightly.
"I said that there is no need for night, try not to go out, do not listen to advice, and deserve this kind of bad luck."
He seemed to see the abnormality in Xu Jingnian's body.
Xu Jingnian was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly walked to his side and asked in a low voice, "Master Li, can you see the abnormality in me?" β
"I know what you're trying to ask." Master Li shook his head and said expressionlessly: "If you are targeted by the Trick Domain, you can't escape, although I don't know how you escaped temporarily, but they won't give up." β
"You, ask for more blessings!"
"I've been here for so long, and every year I've met several stunned young people like you, who don't listen to advice, alas, ......"
He sighed, patted Xu Jingnian on the shoulder, and left the corridor alone.
"Is there really no other way?"
Although Xu Jingnian was frightened by Master Li's words, he recalled the black whale phantom in his body, and his heart calmed down a little.
The Black Whale Phantom can help him get out of the Realm this time, maybe next time.
The next day, Xu Jingnian received a letter of dismissal from the machinery store, and as compensation, the machinery store gave him ten years' salary and a place to live.
In their opinion, Xu Jingnian was already a dead man when he was targeted by the Trick Domain.
As for why Xu Jingnian was dismissed, it was because he was afraid that Xu Jingnian would lead the strange domain to the machinery shop.
No one knows when the Trick Domain will come, so it is the most important thing to dismiss Xu Jingnian as soon as possible.
The contract between the two parties was that the machinery shop was in breach of contract, and under the humanitarianism, Xu Jingnian received this generous compensation.
Xu Jingnian didn't say anything, silently packed up his things, then glanced at the machinery shop where he had been staying for a while, sighed and shook his head.
"It's a pity that I didn't learn the technology of mechanical manufacturing."
The residence that the machinery shop compensated Xu Jingnian for is a relatively remote yard, in the city, there are many such yards, because it is located in a remote area, it is easy to attract weirdness, so most of them are abandoned or abandoned, otherwise in this city of every inch of land, how can this kind of place be compensated to Xu Jingnian.
However, although these places are deserted or abandoned, no one really dares to live in them, and it is not a joke to be targeted by strange people.
Xu Jingnian knows this!
But he didn't care, Master Li told him that now he was marked strangely, no store accepted him anymore, and no hotel dared to keep him.
The machinery shop compensated Xu Jingnian for the house, first, to see that he was pitiful, and secondly, to bet that he would not live long, and the house would still belong to the machinery store at that time.
This abacus can be said to be very good.
Xu Jingnian took the compensation, because he didn't say anything, he knew his situation, he also knew the concerns of the machinery shop, and he didn't have any resentment against the machinery shop, just human nature.
After leaving the machinery shop, Xu Jingnian came to Xu Yaya's school and handed over the tuition and living expenses for the remaining years to the school.
If he can't come back alive from the Strange Realm, this money is enough for Xu Yaya to finish the rest of the books and grow up, then she can only rely on herself.
There wasn't much money left, but it was enough for Xu Jingnian to buy a pair of mechanical eyes with decent quality.
After buying the mechanical eyes, Xu Jingnian didn't stay too long, and went directly to the residence where the mechanical shop compensated him.
It's a three-storey flat house, and there are many similar houses around, but it seems that many of them are not inhabited.
Xu Jingnian walked into the corridor, the corridor was already covered with dense cobwebs, and Xu Jingnian spent a lot of effort to completely clean up these cobwebs.
The cobwebs were cleaned up, and Xu Jingnian came to the third floor, because no one lived in it for too long, as soon as he opened the door, there was a musty smell inside.
Xu Jingnian pinched his nose, walked to the window, opened the window, and let the wind completely pour into it to dispel the musty smell inside.
There wasn't much furniture inside, not even a bed, which showed how much the previous owner wanted to get out of here completely.
Xu Jingnian sighed, didn't care, and after cleaning the house thoroughly, he put the things he brought into the room.
After finishing everything, he nodded with satisfaction, if he could come back alive from the Strange Realm, then this would be his first sense of home.
Home, what a distant word, in this world, many people even have a house that can be lived, not because there is none, but strange and rampant, too remote places where people live are easy to suffer from weirdness.
Therefore, human beings have to huddle together to keep warm.
As night fell, Xu Jingnian sat in the room, holding the mechanical eyes he bought during the day, recalling the intermittent inheritance of knowledge in his mind.
"The mechanical eyes are integrated into the eyes, and with the power in the eyes, new gifted eyes will be born, and the ability of the gifted eyes is unknown!"
"Although there is no danger in this inheritance method, the success rate is extremely low, and it is difficult to succeed without dozens or hundreds of times."
Xiao Ye didn't hesitate, slowly brought his mechanical eyes closer to his eyes, and then silently recited some strange language to communicate the hidden power in his eyes.
The mechanical eyes slowly merged into Xu Jingnian's eyes, and the process was extremely smooth, as the inheritance said, there was no danger.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
However, Xu Jingnian's fusion process has not ended, and the strange power in his eyes is fusing with the mechanical eyes that Xu Jingnian has integrated into it, completely turning into Xu Jingnian's eyes.
At this moment, a cold suddenly erupted from the air, completely enveloping Xu Jingnian, Xu Jingnian's realization was not good, and he wanted to open his eyes and stand up, but found that his body was like pressing a mountain, extremely heavy.
On the feet, the coldness is even more serious.
At this moment, an even stronger chill erupted, completely enveloping this space, and Xu Jingnian's chest was completely wrapped in cold.
The strangeness that came five days later also came at this moment.
Although Xu Jingnian can realize this, there is no way, ordinary people are too powerless to deal with weirdness.
A moment later, the fog cleared, and Xu Jingnian's figure had completely disappeared into the room.
Xu Jingnian didn't know that he was no longer in the original place, he completely fainted, and the fusion in his eyes continued, but at the moment when Xu Jingnian disappeared, this fusion was suddenly interrupted, and the mechanical eyes turned from liquid to entity, slowly sliding from Xu Jingnian's eyes.
At this moment, the spirit of the black whale, which had not moved, suddenly moved, and a strange force erupted from its body, merging into Xu Jingnian's eyes, forcing back the mechanical eyes that were about to slip.
The fusion continued, but this time with the addition of the Black Whale's Spirit Power, and not only that, but his eyes were slowly absorbing the strange power of the dense fog around him.
I don't know how long this process lasted, and it wasn't until Xu Jingnian's eyes were fused that this scene ended completely.
When Xu Jingnian woke up, he only felt that his eyes were heavy, as if there was a mountain pressing him, and he couldn't open them at all.
"What the hell is going on?"
Xu Jingnian groped around, feeling like he was in a room!
But the feeling of this room for him is very bad!
