Kakosha.

January 2, 1st year of the Deep Space Age.

Aside from the period of "closed beta sneaking", it doesn't count.

From the thirty days of the first round of exams, to the hundred days of the second round of exams, and then to the third round of exams that are now coming to an end, three hundred and sixty-five days......

The time that Chen Jing spent in the inner world with many candidates.

It's been more than a year.

It is no exaggeration to say that the vast majority of candidates are accustomed to the life of the inner world, and even some candidates are very resistant to returning to the surface world, even if the danger of the surface world is far less than that of the inner world......

For them, the risk doesn't matter.

What really makes them linger in the inner world is the "home" here.

Some people have wives and children in this world.

Some people find their parents in this world.

Again, that's the same sentence.

At least a quarter of the candidates are divorced single-parent families, or frustrated people who have long been separated from their wives, and even some candidates do not have parents in the world of the table, such as Chen Jing......

Therefore, they prefer to continue living in this dangerous world rather than returning to the surface world, at least this distorted and distorted world will bring them more sense of belonging.

"I'll have to go back in half an hour."

Chen Jing sat alone on the throne of the temple, Bai Aji curled up in his arms as usual, as well-behaved as an alien dog, while Yegotos stood aside, quietly waiting for Chen Jing to send him back into deep space.

As for Blackstar......

He had already put it away in the name of "overhauling", and had already sent it to deep space to wait.

"Not going to say goodbye?" Jegtos asked.

"When we get together for dinner at noon, everyone chats casually and even says goodbye, and if they talk too much, they will inevitably be distracted, especially my grandfather." Chen Jing shook his head.

Hearing Chen Jing's words, Yegtos didn't say anything more.

"It's okay, we should be back soon." Chen Jing smiled, but what he said seemed to be comforting himself, "During the time when the candidate left the inner world, the inner world was completely still, and even time would not flow...... It's okay. ”

At the same time, the light curtain in front of Chen Jing's eyes also lit up again.

It was a message from Qiao Youning.

……

[Qiao Youning]: "I'm ready here, you should also pay attention, don't leave things behind." ”

[Chen Jing]: "Well, I know, don't worry." ”

[Qiao Youning]: "Then let's do this first, let's go back and talk." ”

[Chen Jing]: "Good ......"

……

Look at the chat box on the light curtain.

Chen Jing couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

I don't know if it's a delusion.

Since the last time the Buddha Mother left Kakosha, Qiao Youning has always felt strange to him, not that he is angry or any other obvious emotion, but that he feels that something is wrong.

You ask her for help, and she will help without saying a word.

If you talk to her and ask about something, she will reply quickly.

But that's it...... It's weird.

Especially when you scroll up the chat history to find the reason, this strange feeling will get heavier and heavier.

"It seems that there are fewer and fewer words between me...... Chen Jing silently flipped up the chat history, secretly thinking in his heart, "In the past, she rarely took the initiative to end the topic, and she always asked this and that, as if there was something to say......"

Don't you like talking to me?

Or did I upset her somewhere?

Judging from the chat history, I don't seem to be so annoying, but the last time I told her Happy New Year, she just replied with a happy New Year, and didn't ask anything else......

As everyone knows.

The "calendar" used in Kakosha is different from other cities, and even months away from some urban areas, so celebrating the New Year in Kakosha does not mean that it will be celebrated elsewhere...... But that's it, Qiao Youning didn't ask much, but replied cutely, "Happy New Year".

That's it.

directly confused Chen Jing.

He was going to talk to Qiao Youning about Kakosha's progress and Kakosha's future use of the new calendar, but Qiao Youning's reply directly made Chen Jing stunned for a long time, and he didn't know how to say it all of a sudden.

He had expected her to ask.

Like before, I always wanted to get to the bottom of a topic and talk for a long time, but now it seems that everything has changed...... But why did it change?! Chen Jing really couldn't figure it out.

Chen Jing can be sure that his relationship with her has not deteriorated, because although Qiao Youning has not taken the initiative to find her again, when he takes the initiative to ask the other party for help, the kind of care revealed between the lines cannot be faked.

"Let's go back and ask again......"

Chen Jing closed the light curtain with a heavy heart, and then leaned his whole body against the throne.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Soon it was time for the final ten minutes of the countdown.

Chen Jing checked the deep space again.

The state of the black star inside is very stable.

The deep space splendor also floats quietly in the vacuum universe.

Make sure nothing is left behind.

Chen Jing then sent Jegtos and Bai Aji in.

Then he waited silently for the countdown to zero.

But it didn't take two minutes.

Chen Jing still couldn't help the doubts in his heart, and opened the light curtain again and sent a message to Qiao Youning.

……

[Chen Jing]: "Youning, are you there?" ”

[Qiao Youning]: "Hmm! ”

[Chen Jing]: "Am I making you angry?" ”

[Qiao Youning]: "No! How could you think that? ”

[Chen Jing]: "I just feel like something is wrong between us......"

……

Chen Jing wanted to describe this strange feeling carefully, but when he was typing, he was so inexplicable that he didn't know what to say, only to see Qiao Youning quickly reply.

……

[Qiao Youning]: "Ah Jing, what problems can we have?" ”

[Chen Jing]: "I don't know...... I just feel like I'm you off......"

[Qiao Youning]: "I'm really not angry, and I told you before, I won't be angry with you no matter what, you are the only person in the world who is good to me, and my only friend...... We will always be good friends! ”

[Chen Jing]: "I'm sorry. ”

[Qiao Youning]: "Oh, I'm not angry with you, you haven't done anything wrong, don't apologize to me......"

……

Chen Jing didn't know why he wanted to apologize, even if he didn't know what he had done wrong, but ...... Never mind.

……

[Chen Jing]: "It's really still a good friend, right?" ”

[Qiao Youning]: "Of course, we have been good friends all our lives, whether you recognize it or not, I recognize it anyway!" ”

[Chen Jing]: "That's good...... We'll talk when we get back. ”

[Qiao Youning]: "Hmm! ”

[Chen Jing]: "Take care." ”

[Qiao Youning]: "Take care." ”

……

At the moment when the countdown went to zero, Chen Jing instinctively closed his eyes.

Crossing, began.
