"Aggie."

“？”

"I'll call you that from now on......"

Chen Jing jumped on Bai Aji's back, straddled it like a horse, and touched its "mane" that lived like a snake.

"Take the previous road to the city and find a place where no one is."

Hearing this, Bai Aji nodded humanely and slowly began to speed up and run on the road.

The city of eternal night is unusually quiet during the moon worship period, especially in this area next to the sunset red community, there is no figure to be seen on the street at all, and it is empty and silent as if it is after the end of the world.

Time.

Chen Jingdu could only hear the sound of the wind constantly passing past his ears.

"Stop."

Hearing Chen Jing's voice, Bai Aji stopped suddenly, then turned his excessively slender neck and looked back at the master who was carrying him on his back.

"That's right...... You seem to be able to understand the words......"

Chen Jing didn't feel that Bai Aji's appearance was hideous and ugly at all, his eyes were still gentle, and he raised his hand to caress the face like bones.

"If I'm gone, you can go back to the community and wait for me, and I'll come back again......"

Bai Aji nodded as if he didn't understand, and his extraordinarily well-behaved reaction was in great contrast to its hideous and distorted appearance.

Maybe it's because Baiaji is in a family relationship with himself.

As soon as it appeared with the summoning of the whistle, Chen Jing fell in love with this terrifying big guy.

Of course, it may also be because Chen Jing has wanted to have a pet since he was a child, but he has never been able to do so, so now that he has such a big pet that can understand human words, he naturally likes it in his heart.

"It's a pity that you can't go back with me......" Chen Jing sighed in his heart, thinking about how he crossed over, and suddenly had a headache.

When it comes.

I couldn't bring anything else but the clothes on my body.

If you go back......

I guess I can't take anything with me except clothes, right?

But then again.

The clothes you wear in the real world, do you have the same style in the inner world?

Chen Jing remembers it very clearly.

The day he first crossed into the inner world, the clothes on his body were the ones he wore in the real world, and when he came home, the old man didn't show anything unusual, and didn't ask him why he changed his clothes......

"You say, will my grandfather find out something?"

Thinking of the old man's eyes when he was leaving, Chen Jing couldn't be sure if it was his own delusion or something else, and at that moment he really saw a ...... It shouldn't be the look in the eyes of the elderly.

It's as if this walk is goodbye.

"Woo-" When Bai Aji is coquettish, he will always make this sound like a cat humming, which does not match its terrifying appearance.

"Forget it...... If you don't understand, forget it......" Chen Jing patted Bai Aji's neck, glanced around, and once again made sure that there would be no one in this place.

Now.

Chen Jing and Bai Aji are located on the edge of the city.

This is also an area that he stumbled upon when he looked at the map before.

Nearby are all towering unfinished buildings.

Hiding here, no one will find out.

"Why are you a little reluctant......" Chen Jing lay on Bai Aji's back, feeling that this big guy's back was extraordinarily soft, soft and a little elastic, not as tough as it looked.

Bai Aji could understand Chen Jing's words, but he couldn't understand Chen Jing's words either.

It doesn't know what its owner is reluctant to do.

But it can sense changes in the owner's mood.

It seems a little sad.

"Woo-" Bai Aji whimpered softly to appease Chen Jing, tilting his head and rubbing his head on Chen Jing's face, his vertical pupils spread out and turned into cat-like eyes.

"I'm fine."

Chen Jing smiled, recalling the wonderful experience of these days, it was like a dream.

In the real world, he is just a social animal, but compared to his peers, he has always tried to jump out of the state of being used as a tool.

Of course, it can also be said that he is lying down.

I'd rather maintain the status quo with a little free time to manipulate, than squeeze my life for money, fame and fortune to go further.

People always have to live for something that is not from fame and fortune.

Chen Jing has always felt so.

Therefore, when he heard the old man say "what is true life", he would have some feelings...... Yes, maybe it's because I'm not strong enough that I can't get out of the world's rules.

From that point of view.

Actually, it's all the same.

The two worlds are no different.

If you want to live freely and wantonly, you can only become stronger than the rules, and the old man is a living example......

"Actually, it's pretty good here......"

Chen Jing didn't care whether Bai Aji could understand his words, and he was a little sleepy lying on its back, but when he thought of his experience these days, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

This crazy world may be a little scary for ordinary people.

But for Chen Jing......

Pretty good.

Although the old man is crazy, he is really a good grandfather, and his love and trust in him are unconditional, which Chen Jing has long seen.

As for Kui Nan......

It's a good friend.

Don't look at her grumpy and don't know how to read people's eyes, at least she is not hypocritical and righteous, much better than those people she met before.

Ryan......

The skeleton cub was a good boy, sensible and capable, and sometimes pitiful, making people want to bully him.

Words.

He doesn't talk much, and he doesn't deal with him much, but he knows how to be polite.

Lawrence...... can be regarded as a weakened version of a hard-tasting grandfather, the picture of his hollow body and eyeballs sticking out, Chen Jing still can't forget it.

"I didn't expect to make friends one day...... It doesn't seem to feel so bad to have these friends......" Chen Jing sighed in his heart.

And just as he reflected on the experiences of these days.

The countdown to return to the real world has come to an end.

"Remember my words, if I disappear, you can go back to the community and wait for me, I will come back, and the old man will take good care of your ......"

Chen Jing took a deep breath and turned over and jumped off Bai Aji.

"It's like a dream......"

Chen Jing finally raised his head and looked at the moon hanging high in the sky.

No, you should call him Gejero, right?

Luna.

"Sure enough, no matter how you look at it, it feels weird......"

At the end of the countdown, Chen Jing's gaze was still on the moon, only to feel that the cold moonlight seemed to be warm.

Warm......

……

"I ...... I am back?! ”

Chen Jing suddenly noticed that the scenery around him had changed, and even this change was something he didn't have time to notice, as if he was here from the beginning, not in the poor alley of the Eternal Night Market.

Yes.

The sun was still shining on the cloudless sky, and the sultry mountain air made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He was still standing by Chen Bofu's grave.

At his feet was the camera that had fallen to the ground.

And behind ......

"Woo———"

Bai Aji looked left and right in confusion, as if he didn't understand how he could have come to this place for no reason.

"How...... What's going on with you? Why did you come back with me?! ”

Chen Jing looked at Bai Aji in disbelief, a little doubtful that he was dreaming.

He thought that this return to the real world would be like crossing into the inner world before, and he would go back with a breeze on his sleeves and then come back naked.

But the reality doesn't seem to be like that.

"Not a dream......"

"It's all true!"

Chen Jing couldn't help but pounce on Bai Aji and hugged it tightly, he was still a little panicked before, for fear that he would find that all this was just a dream when he came back from the crossover...... It's okay, it's not a dream.

Chen Jing hugged Bai Aji, and his eyes slowly moved to the tombstone not far away.

Seeing that familiar name carved into the cold stone, his heart suddenly felt a little empty.

"Not a dream...... Great......"

Chen Jing bent down and picked up the camera on the ground, there was a faint layer of mist in his reddened eyes, and his heart was not calm, and he could even be said to be a little too excited.

Because he knew that grandpa was still there.

Whether it's that crazy grandpa.

Or this missing grandfather.

It's all still there.

"Don't worry...... Grandfather...... I'll find your ......."

Chen Jing held the camera and looked at the tombstone motionlessly, wanting to show a confident smile at the name on the tombstone, but his eyes turned red disobediently.

At this moment, Chen Jing only felt that the wind in Sentinel Ridge was really strong.

It hurt his eyes.

"Aji, let's go, I'll take you home."
