Chapter Twenty-Five: The Hint Comes Again

To be honest, Chen Jing didn't know what to be happy about during the moon worship period.

Because as far as he knows......

The moon festival seems to be an inevitable and cyclical period of disaster outbreak for the eternal night market in this inner world.

Every time the moon festival comes, the "moonlight" emitted by that strange celestial body will deteriorate.

Not only will this cause some of the Old Descendants to spiral out of control, but it will also lead some of the horrors of the Wasteland to converge on the city......

"Every time those 'atonementers' come out of the river, I think thieves are scary......"

Kui Nan put his arm around Chen Jing's shoulders, looking at the behemoths that had begun to patrol the city from afar, and sighed loudly.

"I've heard a lot in recent years that [the Round Table Council] is dying, and they're going to be unable to suppress the sects...... I don't think so, but if these atonements go crazy, I guess the nest of the hermitage will have to be leveled. ”

"They're [from the Round Table]?" Chen Jing looked intently at those monsters as tall as buildings, and even from such a distance, he could feel that extremely terrifying sense of oppression.

"Yes, the torturers put the sinners to death, and then kept the heads alive, and then strung them with chains to guard the ...... of the Eternal Night Market."

Kui Nan suddenly shuddered when he said this, as if he had thought of something to be afraid of, and said cautiously.

"If I hadn't been proven insane when I was killed, I guess my head would be on top of it now......"

"Are these creatures powerful?" Chen Jing asked curiously.

"Aren't you talking nonsense, of course they're powerful, but I don't know how powerful they are......"

Kui Nan glanced at Chen Jing with a pout, the dumb hair on his forehead shook like an antenna, and there was a hint of jealousy in his words.

"Anyway, those old people who dare to go crazy on the streets are all let them be destroyed, and those polluted species who want to break into the city from the wasteland are also killed by them......

"Are they awesome or are my grandpa awesome?" Chen Jing was even more curious, and couldn't help but compare these behemoths with the old man.

"It's supposed to be an old madman." Kui Nan said firmly, without the slightest hint of doubt in his tone.

Chen Jing was stunned and asked why.

Kui Nan's answer was full of persuasiveness.

"If the old madman hadn't been as good as those 'atonementers', he wouldn't have let the [Round Table Council] cut off his head and string sugar gourds for all the crazy things he has done in recent years......"

"Makes sense." Chen Jing nodded thoughtfully, only feeling that Kui Nan's answer was very reliable.

At this moment, the "redeemer" closest to Chen Jing and them suddenly stopped.

I saw that it seemed to be sluggish and slowly turned to the southeast, and the thousands of heads that built its torso suddenly opened their mouths in an instant......

"Look! Wonderful is coming! Kui Nan said excitedly, and couldn't help but grab Chen Jing's hand and shake it vigorously.

This moment.

Every skull on the atoning man's body lit up with a blinding red light.

With an increasingly terrible roar, scarlet light was like a meteor dragging a comet's tail, and was spewed out by the heads one after another and blasted towards the target's location.

The picture is almost like a laser weapon in a science fiction movie.

So......

Am I underestimating the strength of the old man......

Can he really do anything to these monsters?

"Aren't these all self-propelled fortress-type laser weapons?!"

Chen Jing was stunned to see this apocalyptic scene, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.

"Oh, there's another old descendant being targeted......"

Kui Nan was no stranger to the red light spewed from those heads, but as if he was watching the excitement, he excitedly stretched his neck to look over there.

"It's not a small battle...... Isn't it the pollution of the wasteland that has come in again...... If it's really those miscellaneous people who kill in, it will be lively......"

At this moment, Chen Jingdu was stunned, his slightly pale face with a hint of sickness was being reflected by these red lights that kept crossing the sky.

"In terms of their saturation bombing approach...... Isn't the council afraid of tearing down the city of eternal night? Chen Jing asked with a numb scalp.

"Don't worry, the 'Atonementer' only kills the target and does not destroy the building, didn't you notice that the red light fell silently in the city?"

"It seems to be a ......" Chen Jing listened carefully for a while, and really didn't hear the sound of those "red lasers" after they touched the target.

"When I rest for a few more days, I will take you to the city when I have a chance, these big guys have to be seen up close to be shocked!" Kui Nan said with great interest.

"Forget it, I think it's better to stay at home and be safe......" Chen Jing declined, not really wanting to get close to those big guys.

"You kid is cowardly! I'm afraid of you with me! ”

“……”

chatted with Kui Nan for a while, until he was really sleepy in the second half of the night, and Chen Jing returned home in Kui Nan's reluctant reluctance......

When sending Chen Jing, the little young master, out of the house, Kui Nan was still muttering in a soft voice about the great truth of why he should sleep for a long time before his death.

But when he saw Chen Jing's sick appearance, Kui Nan was embarrassed to say anything more.

Count.

If he continues to talk about it, it is estimated that he will have to sleep forever now.

"It's not like we won't see each other again......"

Chen Jing was still coughing when he entered the elevator, but when he saw Kui Nan who was reluctant to stand outside the elevator door, he still held on to his spirit and comforted him.

"I'll come up again tomorrow to find you, and I'll bring you something to eat by the way."

"Hmm!"

When the elevator door closed, Chen Jing walked to the side with the handrail, and couldn't help yawning with his back against the elevator.

The white lights above his head kept flickering, and looking at his blurry reflection on the elevator door, Chen Jing suddenly had a feeling that he was not dreaming.

Dozens of hours ago.

I still live an ordinary life in the watch world.

Dozens of hours later......

Chen Jing looked at the light curtain in front of him that only he could see, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this additional question was really difficult to do.

"It's too hard to finish......"

————————————

[Return countdown: 210 hours, 35 minutes, 41 seconds]

[Additional Question: Top 10 Neighbors]

[Hint: It's hard to stand alone, and in this perilous world, try to build friendship with your neighbors.] ]

[Question Status: Unfinished]

[Completion: 70%]

————————————

"It's only 70 percent now...... Whose remaining thirty percent are ...... Words or Lawrence......"

"Why don't you do it......"

"But this additional question doesn't seem to be refreshed if it can't be done......"

When he got out of the elevator, Chen Jing's slightly pale face was already full of the four big words "I want to be rotten".

If it weren't for doing this kind of additional question, which always gave him the feeling of playing games and brushing side quests, I'm afraid he would have stopped doing it a long time ago......

Troublesome.

What a hassle!

Wouldn't it be nice to have this spare time to go out and explore!

Even if it's just to open a map or something......

I haven't seen this city yet.

I can only stay here for ten days, how can I have enough time!

————————————

[Do do do do good %%¥]

————————————

Suddenly, Chen Jing's footsteps paused.

Looking at the garbled text that popped up without warning on the light curtain in front of him, he was stunned for a while, and then felt a little creepy.

"You're talking to me?" Chen Jing couldn't help but ask.

The text on the light curtain did not change, and remained on that line of words.

At this moment, Chen Jing was not in a hurry to go home, and after getting out of the elevator, he stood under the lamp at the entrance of the corridor, holding on to the wall with his hand and waiting patiently.

It took about three to five minutes.

The text on the light curtain has a new twist.

————————————

[interior house house %%¥ pigeon shed * & TV ......]

————————————

"You're giving me a task prompt again......" Chen Jing looked at the information displayed on the light curtain, and said secretly in his heart, "Decorate the house...... It should be for Kui Nan's decoration...... The pigeon loft was the one I promised to put on the rooftop for her......"

Television set?

Could this be a hint of Lawrence's friendliness?

Chen Jing looked at the light curtain and hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but ask.

"Who are you? Why help me? ”

There was no response on the light curtain, as if Chen Jing's words could not be heard.

"Could it be the task prompt given to me by the intelligent AI?" Chen Jing muttered to himself, feeling a little puzzled, "Then why is there always garbled characters......

From the moment he stepped into the inner world, Chen Jing always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark, especially after the appearance of those garbled words, this feeling was even stronger.

He had always doubted the authenticity of the garbled text.

He didn't know if the tips were true or fake.

But now......

Chen Jing always felt that someone was behind him to help him.

————————————

[interior house house %%¥ pigeon shed * & TV ......]

————————————

Chen Jing looked at the information displayed on the light curtain in front of him, couldn't wait for the response he wanted for a long time, and finally sighed.

"It doesn't matter who you are...... Thank you ......."

With that, Chen Jing leaned against the wall and slowly walked in the direction of home.

But halfway through, he suddenly stopped.

"Do you know where my grandfather is?" Chen Jing asked coldly, and after speaking, he hurriedly added, "That grandfather in the real world." ”

The light curtain flickered slightly, as if in response.

"You know what?" Chen Jing held on to a glimmer of hope.

The light curtain is still flickering, but the characters displayed are unchanged.

"Don't you know?"

Chen Jing sighed in disappointment when he saw that the light curtain did not respond, but he did not put the light curtain away, as if he was talking to an unfamiliar friend, limping towards the house by holding on to the wall.

"The old man is gone, I'm worried about him, although I didn't have a good relationship with him before, but ......"

The lights in the corridor kept flickering, and the buzzing sound of electricity kept echoing in Chen Jing's ears, as tireless as some kind of tinnitus disease.

"How is he doing?"

The silent glimmer reflected on Chen Jing's face, and his already pale face was even more sickly, and his clear eyes were even more worried.

"Is he having a bad day?"

This time, the light curtain was no longer silent.

In Chen Jing's incredulous gaze, the words on the light curtain were garbled for the first time because of his question.

————————————

[Very good, good, good%%¥......]

————————————

In the next second, the light curtain was voluntarily closed.

When Chen Jing anxiously called out the light curtain again, the garbled characters had already disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared, and only the countdown and additional questions were left on the light curtain.

"Very good...... That's good......"

Chen Jing closed the light curtain, took out the key and opened the door lightly, the smile on his face was extremely bright.

This should be the best news I've ever received since entering the inner world.

It seems that the old man is still alive!

So the "person" who has been helping me in the shadows must also know the old man, maybe all this was arranged by the old man......

"Young Master, you're back!"

In the dim living room, only the muted TV was still on, and the little skeleton Ryan was sitting on the sofa with a pillow, and when he saw Chen Jing suddenly open the door and come in, he hurriedly got up and began to take slippers for Chen Jing.

"Young Master, are you feeling better? Do you still have a headache? The master left some medicine in the kitchen for me to boil for you to drink before going to bed......"

"I'm much better."

As soon as Chen Jing entered the house, he smelled the smell of medicine in the air, which was similar to the smell of Chinese herbs in the real world, at least he didn't smell any difference.

"How do you sleep in the living room? Isn't the study empty? ”

"I can sleep here,......" Ryan replied with a shrunken voice, carefully supporting Chen Jing, who was unsteady in walking, "Young Master, you go lie down first, and I'll bring you the medicinal soup!" ”

"Don't rush ......"

Chen Jing took Ryan's skinny hand, no, to be precise, it was a bone claw, and glanced in when he walked to the door of the study.

"It's a mess, no wonder you can't sleep...... I'll clean it up for you tomorrow...... You can just sleep here in peace...... What's the deal with sleeping in the living room......"

"No! The sofa was soft! Ryan loved it! ”

"I can't like it." Chen Jing frowned and said, looking down at Ryan, who was not as tall as his thighs, "It's not like there is no bed at home, how strange it is for you to sleep on the sofa......"

Ryan didn't know what to say, for him, it was already satisfying to find a place to live in the city, let alone sleep on the couch, even if it was in the toilet, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But the young master doesn't seem to like this.

"I'll take you to clean up the study tomorrow, the house is a mess, and I can't see it anymore...... By the way, you go get a chair, I remember there was a new futon on the wardrobe, and I saw it when I changed clothes that day. ”

Chen Jing was still a little dizzy, but after being helped into the bedroom by Ryan, he couldn't help babbling, like the old lady who had already left him.

"Let's take the futon and spread it on the sofa for you to make up for the night, and tomorrow I will clean up the study and you can live there...... The old man is really, I'm going to ask him tomorrow how he made his study like a garbage dump! ”

Meanwhile.

Chen Bofu, who was sleeping in the master bedroom, was turned over by the chatter outside the house, and suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, his wrinkled old face full of doubts.

"How can this kid talk like his grandmother...... Did you let the old woman get up? ”
