Chapter 22 Before Dawn

Chapter 21

In fact, Roach didn't know what kind of confrontation happened between them. The old man said a few nonsense that resembled entry-level philosophy, or a few incisions, but judging from the reactions of Du Zhengyi and Ma Jiang, the level of their communication was much higher than that of the old man. Roach can understand more deeply.

Du Zhengyi pulled him up suddenly and left, while Luo Qi struggled and wanted to call Ma Jiang.Looking back, I saw that Ma Jiang had stood up, his legs and feet were unsteady when he was drunk, but his face turned dark instead of his previous hippie smile.He stood by the table where they were sitting around for a while, looking at the strange man gloomily.Luo Qi now recalled that Ma Jiang had shown his face several times tonight, probably in terms of Ma Jiang's character, if he could make him uncomfortable or unhappy, the other party was already very powerful.

"I have a chance to have a drink together." Li Xu said gently, and finally his eyes fell on Luo Qi. Now he is also interested in Luo Qi. "This kid is too."

Luo Qi was thinking about him curiously, but Ma Jiang seemed to have received a signal that he didn't understand again. He suddenly turned his head, reached out and grabbed Luo Qi by the neck, twisted him and pushed him forward, "Go quickly!" Come on, don't stay here."

Roach staggered forward and saw Du Zhengyi standing 20 meters away, looking back at them impatiently.Roach felt that it was necessary to give Du Zhengyi supplementary lessons, such as "Patience is More Important than Talent: Accompanying Children to a Brighter Future" or "Children's Behavior and Emotional Intelligence Training Series: I Have Patience".His neck was pushed hard again by Ma Jiang, urging him to walk towards Du Zhengyi quickly.It was as if he was escorted to Du Zhengyi by Ma Jiangti. As soon as Du Zheng opened the door, they walked out together.They went downstairs silently in the darkness, pushed open the door on the first floor, and Roach returned to the human street again, watching the traffic flow as if it was a world away.He wanted to ask about the charade tonight, but he was slapped by Du Zheng as soon as he turned his head.He didn't understand why Du Zhengyi was even more angry than before. He dared to say that there were too many people saving face for him just now, and he would scold him bitterly. Even having a frog on his chest was wrong, so that proves that His cowardly character of being submissive.

Luo Qi was dizzy from the training, and before he had time to retaliate, Du Zhengyi's artillery fire turned to Ma Jiang.

"Are you sick? Doctor?" Du Zheng said mercilessly.

Luo Qi gloated at Ma Jiangbai's blinking eyes, but didn't dare to turn back.

"Why did you bring him out? Have you lost your memory and don't know what's going on with him?" Du Zhengyi continued, a little impatiently, "What on earth are you thinking?"

"I saw that he couldn't sleep, so I took him out to adjust his spirit after being injured by accident." Ma Jiang said with a playful smile. "It's all about lowering the odds of PTSD happening."

Roach immediately denounced the report, "Nonsense! He brought me here because the rule in this place is that two people enter together."

Unexpectedly, Du Zhengyi took a deep breath in anger, and his voice became louder, "Then what kind of stupid are you, you really come when he teases you?

"Yes, Mom! I won't do this next time!" Luo Qi said confidently, then rolled his eyes suddenly, and asked suspiciously, "Then how did you come in? You don't seem to have any friends with you?"

"I don't need it." Du Zhengyi said in a flat and straight tone.

"Why...what?" Roach asked curiously, "You can modify their access control crystal."

"Do you think a bar can use any complicated settings?" Du Zhengyi sighed impatiently, "The two stone lions are just thermometers, as long as the two lions have tested a temperature of about 37 degrees Celsius, the door will open .”

Ma Jiang belatedly let out a stupid exclamation next to his ear, "Oh, that's what happened, hahaha, it turns out that the rule that more than two people can enter the door is actually set up like this."

Roach didn't expect the gimmick to be so simple. He looked at Du Zhengyi with a little admiration, only to find that he still had that dead face.

Ma Jiang giggled, and also looked at Du Zhengyi, "Do you think I tricked him into the investigation office of the committee?"

Luo Qi looked at Du Zhengyi in surprise, and then at Ma Jiang.

"Is there anything else you haven't told me?" Ma Jiang said, with a serious look, "Be honest with the doctor."

"It's not a big deal." Du Zhengyi said, "But it's best not to overwhelm. I really have limited energy."

"It's really ruthless to talk like that." Ma Jiang showed a hurt look.

Luo Qi couldn't say anything, and he felt a little disapproving, but Du Zhengyi looked back at him at this moment.Luo Qi felt that he had been read through his mind. Even if Du Zhengyi didn't use the energy of telepathy, it seemed that it would be effortless to see the gears turning in his mind.

Then, Du Zhengyi raised his hand.

Luo Qi let out an "ow", and suddenly clutched his forehead that was hurt by the bullet.Du Zhengyi took his arm angrily, and walked him into the narrow gap between the two buildings in the shopping street, as if inviting him to pee together.He struggled symbolically twice, turned around and saw Ma Jiang looking at him with a smile, and waving his arms at him, "If you are free, come and play with me if you are bored! Help me take care of Du Zhengyi, if he is the head..."

He didn't hear the following, and he was already dragged into the shadows, and he felt another vomiting feeling of being grabbed by his stomach, and there was a lump of paste stirring in his mind.Damn, he was so against this feeling.

Then, the hustle and bustle of the modern street disappeared together with Ma Jiang, and he stood again in the quiet courtyard covered with snow in the north.

A bone-piercing spring breeze came in through his neckline and cuffs, and he was shocked. The silence and coldness of the countryside made him want to vomit.Just now they were still in the tavern in their own world, in the noisy streets of the secular world in the early morning, and in a blink of an eye they had returned to the door of the old house filled with the smell of death.

Luo Qi took a step back, "If you dare to hit me again, I will tell your teacher!"

Du Zhengyi's expression was no longer so tense. He glanced at Roach, turned around and walked forward a few steps, stretched out his hand and opened the door of the old house, and walked in first.Luo Qi yawned, and moved in slowly. The lights in the room have been turned on, illuminating the old swallow's residence.Luo Qi followed Du Zhengyi and turned into the house where they lived these days. It was the neat and modern room of the surgeon.There is only a simple wooden bed in the room, two honest bedside tables, a wardrobe for storing sundries, and a desk. On the table are some old books that seem to be no longer used, but they are neatly stacked.

It's not a comfortable place here, but it was different when Du Zheng turned on the electric heater, and Roach immediately shrank into the chair next to the electric heater.

Du Zhengyi lay down on the bed, the lamp on the table was turned on mysteriously, and the main light in the room was then turned off.Luo Qi looked at Du Zhengyi enviously. Du Zheng's manipulation of abilities was as natural as breathing.

"We can talk a little bit now." Du Zhengyi looked at him in the dark at the head of the bed.

Roach said nothing.

"It's a pity that I can't answer any of your questions." Du Zhengyi said again, his voice a little hoarse and exhausted.But the exhaustion came too suddenly.Roach stood up.

Du Zhengyi is like a machine. When the battery is close to 30.00%, he is like a backup system that can only be forced to activate the low battery.

"Are you okay?" Luo Qi didn't care about those so-called questions. Compared with the illusory speculations and doubts, Du Zhengyi's troubles are real. "There is no need to teleport back just now. You can take the nearest Pan Dragon Rail System."

"It's too time-consuming and troublesome, and it will be recorded." Du Zhengyi said, "Can I trouble you to pour some water to drink?"

Roach immediately carried out his request, worrying that Du Zhengyi was going to send him a wounded man.He walked through the corridor to the kitchen at the end, turned on the kitchen light at the door, and went to find a cup in a drawer of the cabinet familiarly.A scattered gleam of water reflected light in the depths of the drawer. His hand holding the cup paused, and Guan Xinyue took the crystal that was broken by him here.

The scene in Guan's well that day flashed through his mind, and the grief that didn't belong to him still remained in his memory, weirdly as if he had accidentally copied someone else's private room video.He carefully took out the cup, being careful not to touch the shards of the crystal, poured the water and immediately retreated.

Du Zhengyi leaned against the head of the bed calmly, took the water and drank it.He cleared his throat and laughed when he saw Roach carefully return to his chair. "Are you worried that I'm really dead? You won't be able to tell if you grow eighty mouths after you go back."

Roach sneered.

"Okay, let's clear things up." Du Zhengyi said, "First of all, you have to understand that I never thought you were really broken-hearted to the point of damnation, so although you explained it to Mahjong like that, the psychic This is certainly not the reason why the beast attacked you."

"Don't you even tell me this kind of nonsense directly?" Roach said in surprise, "Now that things have happened, there should be at least this kind of tacit understanding between the two of us."

Du Zhengyi laughed, "I will take back that lion after dawn. Teacher Pei should be able to test it, and it will be clear what happened when the time comes."

Roach said, "When the piece of mahjong said that I had a problem, it was well-founded, and even I believed it."

"Then would you like to talk about that incident three years ago?" Du Zhengyi said.

Roach hesitated. "Do I have to say it like I'm being investigated by a committee?"

"No." Du Zhengyi shook his head. He was lying on the head of the bed where the light from the lamp could not cover him, his eyes were deep and unfathomable. "I actually... don't want to know that much."

"Then I don't need to say it." There was a burst of disappointment in Roach's heart, and he stuffed the disappointment and fear back into his stomach.In fact, Ma Jiang didn't need to say, he also suspected that he might have fallen into trouble.

Du Zhengyi seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just nodded politely, and then closed his eyes, as if he was going to sleep.
