Chapter 60 The Apartment and Qionglin

Luo Qi, the sequelae of the second time he experienced space travel, couldn't bear it and fainted directly.

He fell into a dreamless sleep, which was a rare relief given the chaos that had been going on in his mind for the past few days. The sleep was heavy, and although it didn't last long, he still found a sense of calm. It was as if he had been an endlessly rising balloon before, the fragile rubber outer membrane was his only armor, and the thread tied to his head was a root that could not penetrate the soil, but now faintly, a little force fell on his roots, so that he no longer floated endlessly into the inverted abyss above his head.

Roach awoke in peace and slowly opened his eyes, only to find himself still submerged in water. There was a "boom" in his head, this surprise was not trivial, and his body instinctively struggled violently, resulting in cramps in his legs, and his whole body slipped into the water.

He choked on a mouthful of water in dismay, and reached into the tub with his hands, pushing him up through his armpits. He coughed, panicked, his muscles tensed, and the pain of cramps in his legs irritated him.

"Roach." A deep voice called to him, dragging him out of the water and out, "Calm down." ”

His vision cleared, he saw Du Zhengyi's face, saw the silver chain in the middle of his collar, saw the sleeves of his shirt pulled high, and his arms were wet. Then he realized that he had been gasping violently, as if he was about to take his last breath out of his lungs.

"Roach." Du Zhengyi's voice was softer, and his brows furrowed, as if he had just taken a mouthful of bitter medicine.

"Du Zhengyi!" He barked in pain, then felt like a milk dog, restlessly venting his grievances to the only person he could trust.

It's just stupid. He jerked his mouth and swallowed his breath to calm his excessive breathing. His eyes were still rolling wildly, looking at his surroundings, and all he saw was an ordinary bathroom, decorated with the most ordinary and honest chunks of pure white tiles. He looked down and saw that he was sitting in the bathtub, half-submerged in a vat of warm water.

"Are you alright?" Du Zhengyi observed him and slowly let go of his hand.

His eyes were still wide, but he nodded, and Du Zhengyi carefully let go of him completely.

"I put you in the bathtub to help you recover your body temperature and let you take a bath." Du Zhengyi said, the look of horror on Luo Qi's face just now was a little shocking even if he saw it, maybe it was for this reason that he added again, "I'm sorry." ”

Even though Luo Qi's expression was sluggish, he still reacted a little, he slowly raised his head, and his dark and big eyes looked at Du Zhengyi suspiciously. Du Zhengyi is not a good boy who is united and friendly, no matter what time it is, apologizing is not suitable for his painting style, not to mention that his current role is a life-saving benefactor.

Du Zhengyi saw that Luo Qi had recovered his spirits, and the two looked at each other for a while, as if they couldn't accept that there was suddenly such a heavy friendship between the two. In particular, this friendship is still a serious debt to the other party, and the two people are a little unaccustomed to being both givers and receivers.

"Need me...... Help you take a bath? Du Zhengyi assessed his condition and asked hesitantly.

Roach shuddered.

"Okay." Du Zhengyi said, relaxed, "Count you as acquaintances." I found a few clothes to put on the washing machine next to the door so you can change into them after taking a shower. ”

"Where is this?" Lodge asked, he didn't think it was like a hotel.

"Where else could it be? In your situation, there is no other place to stay. Du Zhengyi said, "This is my home." ”

After he finished speaking, he waited a little longer, and saw that Roach's confusion seemed to be heavier than just now, and he expected that he would not have anything to say for a while, so he turned and walked out of the bathroom, and closed the door with his hand.

Roach sat in the bathtub for a long time, and finally it occurred to him that if this had been a few days ago, oh my God, he would have jumped up and turned over the bathroom first. It's Du Zhengyi's home, and I always feel that there will be a lot of secrets hidden, and there are a lot of mysterious habits to be explored. To have the opportunity to go to Du Zhengyi's house, it feels like finally being able to seize the opportunity to turn Du Zhengyi upside down and shake it violently to see how many strange things can be shaken.

But the ups and downs, things are changing too fast, and Du Zhengyi, who is a genius to the sky, is not a difficult puzzle to solve, and the funny thing is that Luo Qi is now eager to lift himself upside down and shake it fiercely to see how many secrets he can shake out.

Sometimes it's not that hard to unlock someone else's secret, at least not a disorienting thing, but to unlock your own secret is like trying to lick your own nose. Not only is it useless to run on the bench, but it is also very disgusting.

Roach retracted into the water, and the thought of how scared he had just been, made him a little prostration.

He leaned back in the tub and slowly relaxed himself in the warm water, feeling a long-lost comfort. The comfort made his mind so confused that he realized that he hadn't heard any noise since he woke up, and it was as quiet as he had returned to his old life.

Du Zhengyi poured himself another cup of tea, and he sat on a cushion on the ground, which was somewhat shaped like a futon. He let himself think about nothing, and was at ease for a while.

The door opened behind him, and Roach stepped out, now a little used to Roach's procrastinating footsteps. Slower than the average mage, and the soles of their shoes take longer to grind on the ground, lazy, which is Roche's unique rhythm, inversely proportional to the speed of Roche's thinking.

"Brother—" Roach shuffled behind him halfway and called him in a slurred voice, revealing displeasure. It sounds like even his mental state has recovered a lot, at least not in that abnormal state of being overly frightened.

He looked back and saw Roach wearing his shirt and trousers with a piece pulled up at the hem of his pants, which was hilarious. But he couldn't laugh now, and had to pretend to be deep and calm and pointed to another cushion on the ground, signaling that Rocky could sit down.

Roach came over with a sad face, and he poured Roach a cup of tea as well, and Roach sat down in a proper manner, and the posture on a cushion was a little funny, and he deliberately did not even look around. In fact, Roach's spirit has recovered at least half, and it is said that his gossip spirit has also recovered a lot, so he should be very curious now. But it seems that the huge blow and mental trauma have indeed made him mature a lot.

"I didn't expect you to come and help me."

He looked at Roach talking honestly, and slowly figured out that sometimes the biggest problem with this kid is that he is too serious, even if he seems to be a tease, but in the final analysis, he is still too serious.

"If you want to say thank you to me, forget it, don't take it so seriously." Du Zhengyi interrupted what he was about to say, "I didn't want to do it, but then I did it and I didn't have anything to say." ”

A hint of frustration and cringe flashed across Luo Qi's face, Du Zhengyi looked away and stopped looking at him, but the window was too high for him to see out, and sitting facing the wall was also like a fool, he didn't think that one day he would bring someone else to his place of residence, so when he chose a house, he didn't expect that there would be today.

"But you saved my life." Roach didn't care how strange it was to sit under the window, and the house was not big, and he seemed to have mustered up his courage again, "I want to thank you especially for the ridiculous fact that I avoided dying ridiculously." ”

"No one can die with dignity." Du Zhengyi said, "When people die, it's ridiculous. ”

Luo Qi was a little bent in his spine by the heaviness of Du Zhengyi's answer, a person like Du Zhengyi should not say such a thing, but now Du Zhengyi's expression is indeed a little unhappy.

Luo Qi was silent for a while, and Du Zhengyi didn't speak, and the atmosphere became even more depressing.

Luo Qi sat up a little straighter, "Anyway, according to Chinese culture, you saved my life, and now you should be responsible for my life." ”

"That's what Chinese culture says?" Du Zhengyi turned his head, "Are you the uncle who touched porcelain on the street?" ”

Luo Qi grinned, and Du Zheng glared at him for a moment, looking at his smiling face in disbelief. After a while, Du Zhengyi said, "Oh my God, you really don't have a long heart. ”

Roach put away his smile, but rubbed his face, and the expression on his face was still very happy. He moved on the ground and lay down hunched, his head resting on the cushion.

"I can lend you the bed today, and when you're tired, go to bed." Du Zhengyi said lightly.

"No need." Roach muttered, "I'm more secure here." ”

Du Zhengyi didn't answer him for a long time, just slowly drank the cup of tea. Luo Qi closed his eyes, and after a while, Du Zhengyi reached out and put it on his face, his eyes and forehead were covered under the palm.

Du Zhengyi doesn't remember whether he has a younger brother anymore, it seems that there is, and it is said that there is. Leaving home at a young age made his memory of his siblings very faint, but he probably thought now that if he had a brother, it would be like this. There is some sarcasm in my heart, and from time to time I want to demean two sentences, and I feel a little emotional about the unquestioning dependence he provides. Because of this, he felt a lot of guilt in his heart, and he didn't know what to do, and even the things he originally insisted on were constantly being revised.

Thousands of miles away, Jonlin.

Qionglin's search work has finally made phased progress, and a group of unlucky ghosts who have been assigned to search in the forest have been assigned to the area of the search garbage dump. This group of magicians is the marginal character of the Qionglin magicians, two autism and three strange people have to walk through the Qionglin garbage dump.

The junkyard is made up of a complex series of teleportation spells that connect the rooms in the central building of Qionglin. The mages use these systems to automate the disposal of garbage, which is left in place for at least three days. Every three days, a special mage comes in to clean up the rubbish, and most of the work is to perform the dismantling operation, which is the opposite of summoning and condensing magic, converting existing entities into basic matter.

The five fringe mages in charge of the search wander through the junkyard without saying anything, and one of the three strange mages is full of curiosity about the junkyard site. It's a garbage dump, but it's also a private market, and from glittering magic roses to letters that aren't burned properly, there's so much to unearth that it's a big adventure to visit.

This strange thing inevitably went deeper and deeper in the garbage dump, and at this moment, a high-energy radiation was as conspicuous as a large light bulb in the dark night. He involuntarily walked over, and at that time he never imagined that this moment on the garbage dump would become the pinnacle of his life. Afterwards, he not only had the opportunity to talk deeply with Archmage Zuo Yu, so that he became a good friend who could talk to him from time to time, but he was also received by Venerable Qionglin, which was just a little short of enough points to get the Archmage Medal.

He later wrote a number of articles, published in the Wizard's Journal, describing his cautious and meticulous search, and his extremely rigorous approach to his work led him to discover the priceless Qionglin Defense Crystal in the garbage heap. Afterwards, he thought that he had already thought that the Lotus Burner would not risk taking this crystal that would cause them to be hunted down by all the archmages, so the most appropriate way was of course to hide the crystal for the time being, and buy himself some time to do things. It was of course impossible to hide the energy-surging crystals in the sanctuary surrounded by mages in the center of Qionglin, so the only way was to throw the crystals into the garbage recycling system in Qionglin. As time passed, he decided that he had actually thought of it beforehand, so he would seriously search the junkyard to find the Guardian Crystal.

In the end, he said this to His Holiness and the others, and the internal praise meeting of the mages elevated him to an extremely high level, comparing him to the legendary Sherlock Holmes of mankind.

The only flaw is how to interpret the defense crystal as if there were no traces of a mage touching it.

His explanation for this is that the mage who shut down and stole the Defensive Crystal was a hidden genius who had invented a new way to counter the Defensive Crystal, which was able to counteract the Defensive Crystal's absorption of his energy, leaving no trace.

Han Yi, a high-level mage in Qionglin, criticized his claims, arguing that his method of interpretation was completely agnostic, in other words, it was all fart. But he has turned to writing new hundred-word articles, calling on everyone to be vigilant and wary of the emergence of new magic calculations, and has received a worried response from many magicians. Therefore, Han Yi's words did not attract too much attention, not to mention that Han Yi actually entered the scavenger's attack range during this Qionglin search, this kind of stupid behavior is really difficult to make people believe that his sanity is not normal.
