Lin Xiaoxiao asked: "Since you can resist the nightmare, why did you come in? If you stay awake for five minutes, you will naturally be able to get rid of the nightmare's call."
"I thought you had I have something to say, so I’m here,” Qingchen said, “What do you want to test this time?”
“From today on, it’s not a test, but the boss wants me to take you on a journey. " Lin Xiaoxiao replied.
"Take me for a while?" Qingchen wondered: "What do you mean."
"Use nightmares to evolve your humanity and let you experience some suffering," Lin Xiaoxiao said : "But you have resisted the nightmare so easily now. It seems that the nightmare will be useless in the future. The boss will have to take care of you personally."
Qingchen thought thoughtfully.
This kind of nightmare is different from last time, but more like a lesson arranged by a teacher for students.
But at this time, Lin Xiaoxiao said: "Don't think about it. The boss still only appreciates you now. I don't know whether you can become the boss's student in the future."
< p>"You are envious of me," Qingchen said.“Envy,” Lin Xiaoxiao admitted frankly: “Not everyone can become the boss’s student, at least not me and Ye Wan.”
“Why?” Qingchen Puzzled.
"Because neither of us has made it through the first level," Lin Xiaoxiao said, "but the boss thinks you should be able to make it through."
"Go through it?" Qing Chen was stunned for a moment.
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously: "That is a road to death. Every time you improve yourself, you need to go through desperate situations and feel pain."
"Then why Is it me?"
"Because the boss said you have the courage to risk your life and survive."
"If it's so painful, why are you envious?" Qingchen asked.
"Because it is a path of cultivation with unlimited potential, and the upper limit for Ye Wan and I has already been determined," Lin Xiaoxiao said with some yearning: "Although that path is painful, you have to Understand that you will become more advanced after experiencing a painful life."
Qingchen did not dwell on this question anymore, but asked other questions: "How old is Mr. Li Shutong?"
< p>"Why do you ask this?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked curiously."It's okay, just ask," Qingchen said.
He asked this question because: if when he came to the other world, the time in the outer world was at a standstill relative to him, then in other words, he would age faster than ordinary people.
It’s not that his body functions are aging quickly, but that he has divided his life equally between the two worlds.
At that time, his peers will only be forty years old, but he already has the appearance and body functions of a sixty-year-old.
So he wanted to know whether Li Shutong's transcendent ability could make people live longer.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at him: "Guess what? The boss's age is not easy to guess."
Qingchen thought for a while and said, "40 years old?"
“That’s too small,” Lin Xiaoxiao said.
"60 years old?"
"No."
"120 years old?"
"Stop, stop, stop guessing , Guess the boss again," Lin Xiaoxiao said: "The boss is 52 years old this year." Qingchen was immediately shocked, knowing that Li Shutong looked like he was only in his mid-thirties. .
"Look at you, you look like you have never seen the world. I wouldn't be surprised if someone like the boss lived to be over a hundred years old," Lin Xiaoxiao said, "We have been following you since we were very young. I haven't seen him change in all these years."
"Why are you following him?" Qingchen asked.
"There is no reason. Ye Wan, I, and many others are all orphans." Lin Xiaoxiao lay on the hot sand. He put his arms under his head and looked up at the sky. The sky suddenly turned dark. , the air is not so hot anymore: "You were born in the Qing family, so you don't understand how miserable life is outside. Being an orphan is a very simple thing."
"Maybe it's because your parents walked in I happened to meet a member of the club on the way and had a quarrel. Maybe it was because you were targeted just after your salary was paid, maybe because chemical materials were leaked and contaminated in the factory, maybe you were attacked by hackers while using nerves to connect to the virtual network. Anyway, everyone was just so casual. Then you die."
"Then you can't pay the property taxes, the insurance company refuses to pay, the bank takes your house away, and drives you out on the street, and no one cares about your life or death. . ”
“At that time, your life was already gloomy. The society wanted to catch you as a drug mule, torture you more viciously, and then make a video of you to make a virtual life and sell it for money.”< /p>
"At this time, someone appears in front of you and says, 'Come with me, I will give you a new life.'"
"No matter who he is, you will follow him "
Qingchen looked at Lin Xiaoxiao quietly, and at this moment he realized that the suffering in his own life was nothing compared to the other person's life.
"Why did he adopt you?" Qingchen asked curiously.
"Because we are available," Lin Xiaoxiao said, "What he wants to do cannot be done by one person."
Qingchen was stunned for a moment. We still don’t know what the goals of the so-called Knights organization and the Spades organization are, and we don’t know what behemoth the Spades want to contend with. Is it the five major companies, or others?
But when Li Shutong adopted Lin Xiaoxiao, Ye Wan and the others, he obviously had the intention of taking advantage of them, but Lin Xiaoxiao and the others didn't seem to mind.
Having said this, Lin Xiaoxiao stood up: "Okay, let's go to bed early."
The nightmare dissipated, Qingchen was still in the dark cell, lying on the cold On the bed board.
Now that he has seen Li Shutong’s mysterious and unpredictable levels, is the canon in his hand enough to exchange for the opportunity to open the door to a new world?
Qingchen was not sure whether the canon was heavy enough, butAnd he couldn't explain the origin of the canon.
Wait a moment.
Waiting and hoping, all human wisdom is contained in these two words.
......
In a corner of the Countdown Prison.
"Is there anyone here? Let me out, why are you locking me here!" Someone slapped the alloy gate hard and shouted loudly.
Luo City traveler Liu Dezhu is being held in a separate cell. Different from the cells of ordinary prisoners, there is actually a surveillance camera in this room watching the detainees closely.
Ever since he approached Li Shutong to complete the mission, he has been locked up in this hidden corner, and no one cares about him anymore.
There is no concept of time here, and there is no sunrise or sunset. Liu Dezhu can only rely on the robot's meal delivery time to judge what time it is outside.
The sound of him slapping the alloy gate became smaller and smaller, and he did not stop until he had no strength left and his voice became a little hoarse.
It was as if he was the only one left in this prison, with no one responding to his pleas and anger.
Liu Dezhu couldn't understand. Others were living a prosperous life in the other world, with mechanical limbs and club members. How could they end up like this in his own place?
Besides, before I came here, I had just boasted to my classmates that I was a time traveler.
When I return to the watch world in 24 hours, what should I tell my classmates?
The students asked, what is your identity in the outside world?
How should I speak?
Say that you have an iron rice bowl in an administrative unit in another world, and you don’t have to do anything and you have food to eat every day?
Say that you have successfully changed jobs? Transfer prisoner?
