The end of the world begins with failing an exam

Chapter 25 Here Comes the Prompt Again

To be honest, Chen Jing didn't know what happiness there was during the Sacrificial Moon Festival.

Because as far as he knows...

For the Yongye Market in this inner world, the Sacrificial Moon Period seems to be an unavoidable and periodic disaster outbreak period.

Every time the sacrificial moon period comes, the "moonlight" emitted by that strange celestial body will deteriorate.

This will not only make some old descendants fall out of control, but also lead some horrible existences on the wasteland to gather in the city...

"Every time those 'redeemers' come out of the river, I think the thieves are fucking scary..."

Kui Nan put her arms around Chen Jing's shoulders, looked at the behemoths that started to patrol the city from a distance, and sighed loudly.

"In recent years, I have often heard people say that the [Round Table Council] is about to fail, and they will not be able to suppress those sects... I don't think so. If these sinners go crazy, it is estimated that the lair of the Priory will be destroyed. draw."

"They belong to the [Round Table Council]?" Chen Jing stared intently at those monsters as tall as buildings, and could feel the terrifying sense of oppression even from such a distance.

"That's right, those torture officers executed the criminals' heads, then kept those heads alive, and then chained them together to protect the Yongye Market..."

When Kui Nan said this, he suddenly shuddered, as if he had thought of something he was afraid of, and said cautiously.

"If I hadn't lost my mind when I was proved to be a murderer, I guess my head is also attached to it now..."

"Are these creatures powerful?" Chen Jing asked curiously.

"Are you talking nonsense, of course they are powerful, but I don't know how powerful they are..."

Kui Nan turned his face and glanced at Chen Jing, the raised hair on his forehead swayed like an antenna, and there was a hint of fear in his words.

"Anyway, those old descendants who dare to go crazy on the street are all killed by them, and those polluted species who want to break into the city from the wasteland are also killed by them..."

"Are they better or my grandfather?" Chen Jing became even more curious, and couldn't help but compare these behemoths with the old man.

"It should be the old lunatic." Kui Nan said firmly, there was no doubt in his tone.

Chen Jing was startled, and asked why without knowing why.

Kui Nan's answer was quite convincing.

"Think about it yourself, if the old lunatic is not as good as those 'redeemers', with all the insane things he has done in recent years, the [Round Table Council] would be beheaded and string candied haws soon..."

"It makes sense." Chen Jing nodded thoughtfully, only thinking that Kui Nan's answer was very reliable.

At this moment, the "redeemer" who was closest to Chen Jing and the others suddenly stopped.

I saw it turning slowly towards the southeast seemingly slowly, and the tens of thousands of heads that make up the torso suddenly opened their mouths wide...

"Look! It's exciting!" Kui Nan said excitedly, and couldn't help but grab Chen Jing's hand and shake it vigorously.

this moment.

Every skull and mouth on the Redeemer's body lit up with a dazzling red light.

Accompanied by more and more mournful roars, streaks of scarlet light, like meteors dragging their tails, were spewed out by the heads one after another and blasted towards the target location.

That picture is almost like a laser weapon in a sci-fi movie.

and so……

Did I underestimate the strength of the old man...

Can he really beat these monsters?

"Aren't these all self-propelled fortress laser weapons?!"

Chen Jing stared dumbfounded at this doomsday-like scene, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.

"Oh, another old descendant is being targeted..."

Kui Nan was no stranger to the red light emanating from those heads, instead she stretched her neck excitedly and looked over there as if she was watching the excitement.

"This battle is not small... Could it be that the polluted species from the wasteland came in again... If those bastards really came in, it would be a lot of fun..."

At this moment, Chen Jing was stunned, his slightly pale and sickly face was being flickered by the red light that was constantly flashing across the sky.

"As far as their attack method of saturation bombing is concerned... isn't the council afraid of demolishing Eternal Night City?" Chen Jing asked with a tingly scalp.

"Don't worry, the 'Atoner' only kills the target and does not destroy the building. Didn't you notice that the red light falls silently in the city?"

"It seems to be ha..." Chen Jing listened carefully for a while, but he really didn't hear the sound made by those "red lasers" after they touched the target.

"Wait for me to rest for a few more days, and if I have a chance, I'll take you for a stroll around the city. It's shocking to see these big guys up close!" Kui Nan said enthusiastically.

"Forget it, I think it's safer to stay at home..." Chen Jing politely declined, not really wanting to get in close contact with those big guys.

"You're a coward! You're afraid of a fart if I'm around!"

"..."

Chatted with Kui Nan for a while, until the middle of the night when he was really sleepy, Chen Jingcai went back home under Kui Nan's reluctance to stay...

When sending the young master Chen Jing out, Kui Nan was still muttering in his mouth the truth about why he slept for a long time before he died, and then he will sleep forever after death.

But seeing Chen Jing's sickly appearance, Kui Nan was too embarrassed to say anything.

Count.

After all, he is probably going to sleep now.

"It's not like we won't meet again..."

Chen Jing was still coughing when he entered the elevator, but when he saw Kui Nan who was reluctant to leave outside the elevator door, he still tried to comfort him.

"I'll come up to find you tomorrow and bring you something to eat by the way."

"Ok!"

When the elevator door closed, Chen Jing walked to the side with the handrail, leaning against the elevator and yawning uncontrollably.

The white light above his head kept flickering, looking at his blurred reflection on the elevator door, Chen Jing suddenly had the feeling that he was dreaming.

dozens of hours ago.

I am still living an ordinary life on earth.

After dozens of hours...

Although it is still on the earth, it is no longer the familiar world.

Looking at the light curtain in front of him that only he could see, Chen Jing couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this additional question is really difficult to do.

"This degree of completion is too difficult..."

*******************
[Return countdown: 210 hours, 35 minutes and 41 seconds]
[Additional question: Top Ten Neighbors]
[Hint: You can't support a tree alone, in this dangerous world, please try to establish friendly feelings with your neighbors. ]
[Problem Status: Not Completed]
[Completion: 70%]
*******************
"It's only 70.00% right now... who owns the remaining 30.00%... Yanque or Lawrence..."

"Or don't do it..."

"But it seems that this additional question won't be refreshed if it can't be finished..."

When he got out of the elevator, Chen Jing's slightly pale face was already covered with the words "I want to show up badly".

If it wasn't for doing this kind of additional questions, it always gave him the feeling of playing a game to clear side missions, I'm afraid he would have stopped doing it a long time ago...

trouble.

What a hassle!

Wouldn't it be nice to have some free time to go out and explore?

Even if it's just to open a map or something...

I haven't visited the city well yet.

You can only stay here for ten days, how can this time be enough!

*******************
[Doing well, doing well %%￥]
*******************
Suddenly, Chen Jing's footsteps stopped.

Looking at the garbled text that popped up without warning on the light curtain in front of him, he was stunned for a while, and then felt a little creepy.

"Are you talking to me?" Chen Jing couldn't help asking.

The text on the light curtain did not change, it still stayed on that line.

At this moment, Chen Jing was not in a hurry to go home. After getting out of the elevator, he stood under the light at the entrance of the corridor and waited patiently with his hands on the wall.

After about three or four minutes.

The text on the light curtain has a new change.

*******************
[Renovate the house %%￥pigeon shed* & TV...]
*******************
"It's reminding me of a task again..." Chen Jing looked at the information displayed on the light curtain, and thought to himself, "Renovating the house...it should be for Kui Nan...the pigeon shed is where I promised Yan Que to help her. Installed on the roof..."

TV set?
Could this be a reminder to brush Lawrence's friendliness?

Chen Jing looked at the light curtain and hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Who are you? Why are you helping me?"

There was no response from the light curtain, as if Chen Jing's words could not be heard.

"Could it be the task reminder given to me by the intelligent AI?" Chen Jing muttered to himself, feeling a little confused, "Then why are there always garbled characters..."

From the moment he stepped into the other world, Chen Jing always felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him, especially after those garbled characters appeared, this feeling became even stronger.

Before, he had always doubted the authenticity of those garbled characters.

He didn't know if the hints were true or false.

But now...

Chen Jing always felt that someone was helping him behind his back.

*******************
[Renovate the house %%￥pigeon shed* & TV...]
*******************
Chen Jing looked at the information displayed on the light screen in front of him, couldn't wait for the response he wanted for a long time, and finally sighed.

"Whoever you are...thank you..."

After finishing speaking, Chen Jing supported the wall and walked slowly towards home.

But halfway through, he suddenly stopped.

"Do you know where my grandpa is?" Chen Jing asked abruptly, then hurriedly added, "The grandpa in the real world."

The light curtain flickered slightly, as if responding.

"Do you know?" Chen Jing held a glimmer of hope.

The light curtain is still flashing, but the displayed characters have not changed.

"do not you know?"

Seeing that the light curtain did not respond, Chen Jing sighed in disappointment, but he didn't put the light curtain away either, as if he was talking with an unfamiliar friend, he limped towards the house while leaning on the wall.

"The old man is gone, I'm worried about him, although I didn't have a good relationship with him before, but..."

The lights in the corridor kept flickering, and the humming electric sound kept echoing in Chen Jing's ears, as if some kind of tinnitus was annoying.

"Is he doing well?"

The silent gleam shone on Chen Jing's face, his already pale face became even more sickly, and his clear eyes became even more worried.

"Is he having a bad day?"

This time, the light curtain was no longer silent.

Under Chen Jing's incredulous gaze, the garbled characters on the light curtain changed for the first time because of his question.

*******************
[Very good good good %%￥...]
*******************
In the next second, the light curtain automatically closed.

When Chen Jing anxiously called out the light curtain again, those garbled characters had long since disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared before. Only the countdown and the reminder of additional questions were left on the light curtain.

"Very good...that's good..."

Chen Jing turned off the light curtain, took out the key and opened the door lightly, with a bright smile on his face.

This should be the best news I have received since entering the inner world.

It seems that the old man is still alive!

So the "person" who has been helping me in the dark must also know the old man, maybe all this was arranged by the old man...

"Master, you are back!"

In the dim living room, only the muted TV was still on. Little Skull Ryan sat on the sofa with a pillow in his arms. Seeing Chen Jing suddenly opened the door and came in, he hurriedly got up and began to fetch slippers for Chen Jing.

"Master, are you feeling better? Does your head still hurt? The master left some medicine in the kitchen for me to boil for you before going to bed..."

"I feel better."

After Chen Jing entered the room, he could smell the smell of medicine in the air, which was similar to the smell of Chinese herbal medicine in the real world, at least he didn't smell any difference.

"Why do you sleep in the living room? Isn't the study room empty?"

"I can sleep here..." Ryan replied shyly, carefully supporting Chen Jing, who was walking unsteadily, "Master, you go and lie down first, and I'll bring you the hot medicine soup!"

"Not urgent……"

Chen Jing took Ryan's bony hand, no, to be precise, it was a bone claw, and when he walked to the door of the study, he glanced inside.

"It's so messy here, no wonder you can't sleep... I'll clean it up for you tomorrow... You can just sleep here in peace... What's the matter with sleeping in the living room..."

"No! The sofa is soft! Ryan likes it!"

"You can't even like it." Chen Jing frowned and said, looking down at Ryan, who was not as tall as his thigh, "It's not that there is no bed at home, it's so strange to let you sleep on the sofa..."

Ryan didn't know what to say. For him, being able to find a place to live in the city was already very satisfying. Let alone sleeping on the sofa, he didn't think there was anything wrong with sleeping in the toilet.

But the young master doesn't seem to like this.

"Tomorrow I will take you to clean up the study room. The house is in a mess. I don't like it for a long time... By the way, you can get a chair. I remember there is a new bedding on the closet. I saw it when I was changing clothes that day. .”

Chen Jing was still a little dizzy at first, but after being helped into the bedroom by Ryan, he couldn't help but chattered, like the old lady who had left him long ago.

"First take the quilt and lay it on the sofa for you to make do with for a night. I will clean up the study room tomorrow and you can live in it too... The old man is really, I will ask him tomorrow how he tossed the study room like a garbage dump !"

at the same time.

Chen Bofu, who was sleeping in the master bedroom, was turned over by the nagging outside, and suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, his wrinkled old face was full of doubts.

"Why does this kid talk like his grandma... Could it be that the old woman gave him the upper body?"
