Chapter 30 The World Needs Order
Chen Jing didn't expect that this battle would end in such a way, and he didn't expect that the old man who was eager to devour the preface alive before would change his previous attitude and become inexplicably enthusiastic.
"Scenery! You and your Uncle Jade will watch TV at home first! I'll go out and talk to this girl! Chen Bofu stood downstairs and shouted.
"Oh...... Good! Chen nodded in response.
In fact, he was also very curious about what the two of them were going to talk about, but after thinking about it, he still dismissed the idea of following along.
After all, there are still outsiders present, and it will be the same to ask the old man later.
At the same time that Chen Bofu and Xuye left the community, Chen Jing found that the "redeemers" who surrounded the community also gradually dispersed.
They appear to have received some kind of instruction to make sure that the Parliament's Sheriff is not in danger before leaving.
Time.
Chen Jing and Yuyu, who didn't know why, looked at each other, and no one knew what was going on with the old man.
But you can guess it from the words before the prologue...... They may be talking about something heavy and troublesome.
"I didn't expect your grandfather to show mercy to his subordinates......" Yu Yu still couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and looked at Chen Jing cautiously, and his tone of voice was full of fear, "I thought he would really kill the chief ......."
"I thought too." Chen Jing said with palpitations, thinking of those who had offended the old man and then had no good death, he only felt that the prelude was really fateful.
As soon as the words fell, Chen Jing couldn't help but be curious, and asked tentatively.
"Uncle Yuyu, do you know what they're going to talk about?"
"I don't know ......"
Yu Yu subconsciously shook his head, but suddenly as if he remembered something, he looked at Chen Jing carefully a few times, and hesitated again and again before speaking.
"Maybe I want to talk about the council and the monastics......"
"The Council and the Order?" Chen Jing was stunned.
In this city of eternal night, the [Council of the Round Table] is the ruling body that sets all order, and the [Moonlight Retreat] is supposed to belong to that native religion, is there ...... between them?
"You are the grandson of Master Chen, it stands to reason that these words are nothing to say to you, but you still have to pay attention...... Don't talk nonsense outside, or you'll get into trouble. ”
As she said this, she suddenly shrugged her shoulders.
"But you don't seem to be afraid of trouble......
"You say." Chen Jing looked at Yu Yu with great interest, raised his hand and pointed to his mouth, "My mouth is very tight, make sure not to say it outside!" ”
"Hmm......" Jade nodded, then quietly moved her gaze to the little skeleton Ryan.
"This little guy ......"
Seeing Jade Yu's gaze move to him, the little skeleton Ryan was immediately frightened, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence.
"My own people." Chen Jing patted Ryan on the shoulder and comforted him softly.
There was a strange light flashing in the eight eyes of the jade dragon, and it seemed to be looking at Ryan, and it took about half a minute before he spoke again.
"Actually, it's not a secret......"
Jade Yu said softly, but each word seemed extraordinarily heavy, and even his breath became sluggish.
"Jingjing, you should know that there are only three cities left in this world that are still surviving, and only these three cities can temporarily resist the erosion from the wasteland......"
"Eternal night, polar day, hanging in the air?" Chen Jing became more and more curious.
"Yes."
Jade Yu nodded, and her tone became very helpless.
"In the past, all three cities were ruled by the [Council of the Round Table], but now the situation has changed, the council of the Polar Sun Capital has been eroded by the [Mother of the Great Buddha Temple], and the council of the Hanging City has been destroyed by the [Turing Study]."
"So now only the council of the Eternal Night City still has power?"
"For the time being......"
Jade sighed and took a few steps forward, holding on to the balcony railing with her lizard-like paws.
"In recent years, the [Moonlight Retreat] has had a close relationship with the sects of the other two cities, and although everyone is relatively friendly on the surface, our council knows that those bastards want to make the Eternal Night Market follow in the footsteps of the other two cities."
"The sect still likes to seize power?" Chen Jing couldn't help laughing, thinking of some history in the real world, and suddenly felt that it was normal for sects to like to seize power.
After all, no one doesn't like power.
A person who demonstrates authority in front of believers by the name of "God".
There are not a few throughout the ages.
"It's not that simple." Jade Yu's voice suddenly lowered, "They are not such boring creatures, power is meaningless to them, and the reason why they want to set up the council is also because of ......"
At this point, Jade Yu stopped.
Because he saw Xu Ye and Chen Bofu walking back from outside the community.
The two seemed to have a good conversation, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, and they both had smiles on their faces.
Yu Yu looked deeply at the old man who was talking to Xuye, and suddenly sighed with a complicated expression, "You have a good grandfather", and then he didn't speak anymore and was silent.
Until the old man came back with the prologue.
"You're good, you're much more powerful than those chief sheriffs before......" Chen Bofu sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette, while Chen Jing stood aside and listened quietly, and from time to time he glanced at Xuye.
He remembered that he should have been seriously injured before, and even one of his arms was missing, but now it seemed that he was ......
Except for the blood stains on his body and some traces left over from the battle, he almost looked like a normal person.
"Then it's settled."
The preface is still smiling, and her face is so gentle that she can't speak.
Although Chen Jing didn't know what she had chatted with the old man in private, he could tell that the woman was very happy.
In those eyes that were not emotional, it was the first time that he showed a heartfelt smile.
"Well, okay, let's go......" Chen Bofu smiled and waved his hand, then glanced back at Chen Jing, "Good grandson, help me send them." ”
"Okay."
The old man actually had the idea of sending off guests, and this kind of "etiquette" attribute was the first time Chen Jing had seen it in the old man.
However, Chen Jing could probably guess that this old man must have reached some agreement or consensus with Xuan Ye, or it could be some kind of deal......
All in all, there's definitely something going on here.
"Your grandfather is much more reasonable than I thought."
After going out, Xu Ye followed Chen Jing and whispered, while Yu Yu walked slowly two steps away, as if he didn't dare to walk side by side with them.
Chen Jing nodded with a smile, and then pressed the button of the elevator.
Not for a while.
The elevator came.
As soon as the door opened, Chen Jing led the two of them in.
"I thought he was going crazy today......" Xuan Ye smiled and stretched, and his graceful body curves were unobstructed.
"He's actually a good guy." Chen Jing said.
Xu Ye looked at him seriously a few times, but didn't find the slightest expression of disobedience.
"In a way, you're right, but he's also done a lot of things that disrupt order......"
After that, Xu Ye suddenly changed the topic and asked Chen Jing coldly.
"What do you think of our council?"
"I don't know much about you, so I can't talk about it."
"You don't have to be so careful."
Xuan Ye took a step in the direction of Chen Jing.
Looking at the slightly thin young man in front of her, she only felt that this kid was terrifyingly weak, and it had nothing to do with that old madman.
But......
Did he just take a shower?
In the first night, I felt that Chen Jing's hair smelled exceptionally good, revealing a refreshing fruity fragrance.
"I'm just curious what Chen Bofu's grandson thinks of the council......"
"No opinion." Chen Jing said in a low voice.
"And what do you think of order?" Prologue took another step forward.
"I don't know."
Chen Jing gave a perfunctory answer again, subconsciously took a step back, and quietly opened the distance from Xuye.
He still understands the truth that if you talk too much, you will lose.
Although he already has a preliminary general understanding of this inner world, he is quite comfortable integrating into this crazy world.
But it's always right to be careful.
After all, it is very clear in the exam rules that there is only one end if you are discovered.
That is death.
"Do you think order is important?" Xu Ye's gentle smile was still the same, and he took another step forward, while Chen Jing's reaction was faster, standing directly against the wall in the corner, still perfunctory to say those three words of answer.
"I don't know."
"I think order is important."
Xuye looked up at the constantly flashing elevator lights, and suddenly smiled.
"If there is no order, the people in this city are no different from wild beasts......"
