Chapter Ninety-Six: When the Stars Shine
"I can finally see the stars......
Chen Jing sat on the shore of the Dongshan Waterpool, looking up at the cloudless bright starry sky, only feeling that everything he had experienced in the previous days was ......
It's like a dream.
Maybe it's because the biology jump exam is going to start tomorrow.
The lingering scarlet shadows in the sky began to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye as early as evening, and even the heavy clouds disappeared with them.
At this moment, the sky in Chen Jing's eyes was never cleaner, and in addition, Sentinel Ridge was located far away from the city, so he could see more clearly without light pollution.
After dark.
The stars in the sky and the brilliant Milky Way across the sky are even more intertwined, and the universe is like a vast and profound picture scroll unfolding in his eyes.
Chen Jing is like sitting on the roof and watching the stars when he was a child.
He leaned his back against Baiaji and clasped his hands around his knees.
Looking up at the sky, I was in a daze.
"Lord...... Ah Jing, do you want to go? Bai Aji suddenly realized that Chen Jing didn't like to hear it call his master, so he hurriedly changed his words, and then raised his paw and pointed at the stars in the sky, "I can take you wherever you want." ”
"It's good here."
Chen Jing's eyes reflected the Milky Way that seemed to have remained unchanged for thousands of years.
The annoying evening breeze was still blowing in his ears, and the face, which was already red and white, and had a bit of a youthful spirit, looked particularly soft in the moonlight.
"Some stars are too cold, some stars are too hot, but I still like to stay in Sentinel ......Ridge," Chen Jing said softly to Bai Aji, as if he regarded it as a friend to whom he could be relieved.
After saying that, Chen Jing glanced at Bai Aji curiously.
"You said you could take me to the stars, is that true?"
"Hmm......" Bai Aji nodded without hesitation, full confidence in his own abilities, "but not yet...... I'm too weak after recovery......"
"How strong can you be when you're at your strongest?" Chen Jing asked curiously.
Baiaji thought about it seriously, trying to extract the few broken memories in his brain.
"I can travel freely in the deep sky and the sea of stars...... It's much faster than the light in the universe......"
"Really?"
Chen Jing's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.
"Then if you have the opportunity in the future, you can take me to the sky to see, since I was a child, I heard that people become stars after death, I want to see if it is true......"
Chen Jing lost his voice as he spoke, as he felt as if he was getting farther and farther away from the word "human".
At a time when the world is facing the end of the world.
I can still think of interstellar travel with peace of mind......
No stress, no panic.
The fear a few days ago was only because of that huge human face, and there seemed to be nothing else that made Chen Jing feel real fear.
Not even the end of the world.
"Exam ...... for 100 million people"
Chen Jing remembered that he was going to return to the inner world tomorrow, and he couldn't help but start analyzing it in his heart...... Where in the inner world will the 100 million people who participated in the Biology Leap Exam be assigned to?
It stands to reason.
If it is randomly assigned, it is really possible to be assigned anywhere, and the examiner may place all these 100 million people in the Eternal Night Market.
But if you want to balance it out......
Eternal Night Market, Polar Daylight, Hanging City, Post-War Wasteland, Sea of the Old.
Each of these five places should put a certain number of candidates.
"I really don't know how many fellow ...... will appear in the eternal night," Chen Jing muttered, but between the lines and even in his demeanor and tone, he couldn't see the slightest expectation.
In his opinion.
It's a lot harder to deal with your own kind than it is to deal with monsters.
Coupled with the fact that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, this world has always had the tradition of backstabbing fellow villagers......
"It's broken!"
Chen Jing's expression suddenly froze, as if he had thought of something important.
He couldn't help but clench his right hand on Baiaji's mane, and it whined in pain.
"That kid is confused!"
Chen Jing muttered with a stunned expression, remembering what the examiner said and Li Mobai's expectations for this exam......
"The quota of 100 million candidates...... I'm definitely one of them...... The rest is all chosen at random...... If that kid hadn't been picked...... His mentality can't collapse?! ”
Thinking of this, Chen Jing couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
If Li Mobai's kid was really ignored by the examiner, then it would be too dramatic...... But that's fine.
After all, the risks in the world are much higher than in the real world.
Plus there are 100 million candidates joining.
If the world is not chaotic, there will be ghosts!
"After we go back, we will go to the Yellow King Courtyard."
Chen Jing had already made a detailed plan for returning to the inner world, and there was a hint of expectation in his calm tone.
"Lawrence has clues about that courtyard, and with the help of the old man, I should be able to advance to Sequence 2 soon, and ...... then"
……
"When the time comes, I'll just strangle those old things one by one!"
In Li Mobai's apartment, Wang Xilai was sitting slumped next to the coffee table, holding a bottle of Erguo in his hand and cursing at the sky.
"Treat us like dogs every day! You were still talking to me in the last meeting...... Lao Tzu really wanted to break his teeth at that time! ”
"If you want to get them, there's no hurry."
Li Mobai sat motionless on the sofa, and kept looking at the bedroom when he spoke.
"You haven't worked here in Asia, you don't know we're here...... Forget it, don't talk about it! Wang Evillai slowly put down the wine bottle in his hand, his scarlet eyes were full of hatred, "Sooner or later, Lao Tzu will bury their whole family!" Don't even want to run from top to bottom! ”
"Alright...... You can dissipate your anger first......"
Li Mobai seemed to have lost his patience, got up and walked to the bedroom, and instructed Wang Xianlai without looking back: "Don't vomit on the ground, you have to vomit on the balcony and downstairs!" ”
"You're really immoral!" Wang Xilai scolded with a mouth full of wine, and then fell asleep as soon as he leaned his head back on the sofa.
In the master bedroom of the apartment.
Objects resembling copper coins are arranged in a circle around the bed.
On the floor at the foot of the bed, there was also a candlestick that looked like it was made of gold.
The candles on the candlesticks were dark yellow, the faint light of the fire was very white, and the air was filled with an ancient medicinal fragrance.
Qiao Youning lay on the bed...... There was no breath at all.
It is no exaggeration to say that she has really felt like she has died in the past few days, not only has she not breathed, but even her heartbeat has stopped.
However, Li Mobai and they were not surprised, because everyone has to go through this process to transform into the extraordinary......
Li Mobai stood beside the bed and lit a cigarette, looked at Qiao Youning, turned his gaze to the candle, and quietly waited for the moment when the flame was extinguished.
"Crazy Lee! Where the are you! ”
Wang Weilai in the living room seemed to wake up again, and began to curse and shout for him to go out to drink with him.
"Come out and drink with me! You ......"
"Shut up!"
Li Mobai hurriedly interrupted Wang Youlai's words, and when he saw that the flame of the candle was suddenly extinguished, he turned his gaze to Qiao Youning nervously, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
At this moment.
Qiao Youning was indeed awake, but ......
"What's wrong?"
Qiao Youning, who woke up, sat up with a confused expression, and when she saw Li Mobai looking like a ghost, she suddenly felt a little bad.
"Yes! Did you say that the awakening failed?? ”
"It's not."
Li Mobai shook his head, his mood indescribably complicated.
"Don't worry......"
"You've Awakened Successfully......"
