Chapter Eighty-Five: Another Ancient Stone Tablet
Chen Jing was very sure that Li Mobai could not detect the identity of his old descendant.
Even if Chen Jing took the risk of asking Bai Aji to eavesdrop on Li Mobai and them before, he firmly believed that under that special situation, it would be impossible for transcendent beings, including Li Mobai, to discover Bai Aji.
Because after the appearance of those "giants", it seems that the air of the whole world is only their breath......
Even at that time, Chen Jing was almost unable to smell the scent of Li Mobai and their transcendent beings.
So......
Is this kid really ready to confess to me?
Chen Jing turned his head sideways to look at the quilt that had been folded into tofu blocks, and then at the spotlessly cleaned floor.
"I was still a little angry...... But if he confesses...... Why don't you forgive him? Chen Jing thought so.
"Anyway, it's all come to this point, and it's nothing to tell you, the main thing is that I haven't been mentally prepared......" Li Mobai sighed.
Chen Jing listened quietly without saying a word, but his right hand was quietly put into his jacket pocket.
"It's actually too specific...... I don't know what to tell you now...... You know I don't remember things...... Some of the past things have been forgotten......"
"Pick the important ones." Chen Jing said.
Li Mobai touched his chin, pondered carefully for a moment, and finally spoke slowly.
"I went abroad and was targeted by a bunch of gringos who told me what bullshit divinity genes I had, and then they sent me to the awakening ritual and finally ...... That's where I am! ”
“……”
Chen Jing was so angry that he wanted to kick him off the windowsill.
After so many years of experience, I can finish it in a few sentences, and perfunctory people are not so perfunctory!
Suddenly.
Chen Jing, who had just lost his anger, was a little angry again.
"Later, I was dragged into an organization called the [Aether Society] by the gringos, and I ...... until two years ago."
Li Mobai pretended not to see Chen Jing's eyes that wanted to beat him, and said with his own Spring and Autumn brushwork.
"I was sent on a mission to the South China Sea, where there was an ancient ruin that sank in the deep sea, and I found a stone tablet in that ancient ruin......"
Hearing this, Chen Jing was stunned.
Stele??
How come there is another stone monument?!
Could it be that what this kid found is the same thing that the old man brought back from Antarctica?!
"What kind of stele?" Chen Jing said tentatively.
Li Mobai glanced at him with a smile and replied vaguely.
"A stone tablet with words inscribed."
After that, Li Mobai still looked a little puzzled.
The confusion in his eyes was not fake, it seemed that there was something he hadn't figured out yet.
"Those words are particularly strange."
"Ancient writing?"
"It's not ......," Li Mobai said, his brows furrowed more and more, as if the scene of the stone tablet that had just been found in the deep sea appeared in front of him, "Those words are all Chinese characters...... Simplified Chinese ......"
"Did a descendant engrave it?" Chen Jing asked tentatively.
"No, it's not!"
Li Mobai hurriedly shook his head, his expression becoming more and more puzzled.
"I found someone to test the stele, the material of the stele does not belong to our world, it should be from the sky, and whether it is the body of the stele or the words engraved on it, it is at least 100,000 years old......"
100,000 years?
Chen Jing looked at Li Mobai incredulously, and always felt that this kid was fooling him.
"The person who helped me test the stele said that the stele should be from a much older age, but the current level of technology can't keep up, and they can only detect 100,000 years of history......"
"What are those words?" Chen Jing felt a little confused, and he didn't think that Li Mobai would have this kind of experience at all.
"It's just a general introduction, what kind of apocalypse this is, and said that this apocalypse will appear in the form of an exam, and for some people, this is an opportunity to become a god."
As soon as the words fell, Li Mobai couldn't help but get excited.
He rolled over and jumped off the window, ran to Chen Jing's side, grabbed his shoulders and shook him.
"Become a god! What a TM hanging! ”
“……”
"You've probably read a web novel, right?! It's the omnipotent god in the novel!! ”
"Comrade, calm down first......"
"Calm down!"
Li Mobai was excited, it seemed that these words had been suppressed in his heart for too long, and he finally got a chance to vent.
"That stele was hidden by me, and the people in the organization don't know about it, and I am the only one with this information at present...... Ah yes, you know. ”
"What about the people who inspect the stele?" Chen Jing asked a question that should not be asked.
Li Mobai was stunned at first, and then looked at him left and right.
"There might be some curse on that stele...... Except for me anyway...... The people who came into contact with it died...... Either in a car accident or assassinated or something......"
Chen Jing looked at him with complicated eyes and didn't say a word.
"Really, I don't lie to you......"
At first, Li Mobai was deliberately avoiding Chen Jing's gaze, but in the end, he still greeted him, and his smile became very unnatural.
"Everyone who knows the contents of the stele is dead, isn't it?" Chen Jing sighed.
Li Mobai nodded, hesitated, and finally asked.
"Do you think I've changed a lot over the years?"
"Hmm."
"Actually, I don't want to......" Li Mobai's hand grabbed Chen Jing's shoulder with some force, which was a manifestation of his drastic change in mood, "I really don't want to...... If you've experienced what I've been through...... You should understand me......"
"You killed those people, right?" Chen Jing asked with a complicated look, but there was no disappointment in his eyes as Li Mobai imagined.
Because he knew that Li Mobai was not such a person before.
The reason why Li Mobai became ruthless and had no scruples.
There must be a reason.
"How do you think they're me......"
Li Mobai didn't finish what he wanted to quibble about in the end, because he suddenly realized ...... The person sitting in front of him is probably the person who knows him best besides his parents.
Even if we haven't seen each other for so many years.
He also had no doubt that Chen Jing could see through his disguise at a glance.
"Damn, I'm really bad at lying to you!"
Li Mobai seemed to have lost all his strength, sat on the ground, and said with his head bored.
"You don't understand what the meaning of that stone tablet is, those written records on it, you must not let the second person know!"
"So you're killing people?" Chen Jing asked.
Li Mobai no longer hid it this time, and nodded bluntly.
Although he was still a little afraid that Chen Jing would be angry and think that he was an unscrupulous scumbag, after saying it, he felt a burst of relief inexplicably.
"Then do you have to kill me?" Chen Jing sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes fixed on Li Mobai, curious about how he would react, "After all, I'm the second person." ”
"Are you sick?" Li Mobai was a little angry and glared at Chen Jing, "I told you so much, do you think I'm going to kill you?" ”
Li Mobai thought that Chen Jing would explain two sentences, but he never thought that Chen Jing would not say a word, just stared at him like that, but stared at him with a weak heart.
"I'm just a friend of yours......" Li Mobai lowered his head, and his voice became a little duller, "If even you are killed...... Am I just an iron brute......"
After saying this, Li Mobai found that Chen Jing still didn't say a word, and his heart suddenly became even more blocked.
"Am I not supposed to tell you this?"
“……”
"I know you're going to get angry when you hear this, that's why I ......"
“……”
Seeing that Chen Jing still didn't speak, Li Mobai felt unspeakably uncomfortable,
He lowered his head and asked the last word.
"Are we still friends?"
"Yes."
Chen Jing suddenly replied, and then stretched out his hand to Li Mobai, trying to pull him up from the ground.
This moment.
It's as if the two of them went back many years ago.
That was when Li Mobai was beaten up by a group of thugs outside the school.
It was also Chen Jing who gritted his teeth and squeezed in from the crowd, and hit him with a wooden stick that cut his head and covered his face, even if his head was broken and bleeding, he wanted to pull Li Mobai up from the ground without saying a word.
"Thank you."
Chen Jing said something that Li Mobai couldn't understand, and it wasn't until this moment that he finally put his mind at ease.
Before, he took Li Mobai's hand and put it in his jacket pocket.
He also holds the whistle of Baiaji perched.
"Thank you for my chicken feathers?" Li Mobai opened Chen Jing's hand angrily, and got up from the ground scolding, "Damn, I thought you were going to break off my friendship!" You don't know how scary your eyes were......"
"Holy."
Hearing Chen Jing's sudden scolding on the street, Li Mobai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but before he could figure out what was going on, Chen Jing grabbed him violently and pointed to the sky outside the window.
Li Mobai glanced back.
Only in an instant.
He became like Chen Jing, almost shocked to himself.
"What the?!"
