Bar Encounter Again
Daylight broke.
But today's sun doesn't seem as bright or as radiant as it usually is.
Hu Xuan needs time to recover her physical condition, and Cheng Shi won't put all his Chip in one basket with her.
Therefore, investigations should still be conducted when necessary.
If we can find the so-called answer and verify Hu Xuan's method before tonight, then we can truly breathe a sigh of relief.
So he and his two teammates left.
Before leaving, Cheng Shi secretly asked Hu Xuan:
"What exactly is the collaboration between you and the Ranger?"
Hu Xuan smiled gently, making no attempt to hide anything.
"I poured all my insights from the entire Birth process into her 'Sundial of Time,' which she can study and observe repeatedly, and then use as a basis and means to find a new understanding of 'time.'"
Cheng Shi understood.
No wonder Li Boli always tended to accept Hu Xuan; it wasn't just because Hu Xuan Ji Ran, but also because she received enough promises from Hu Xuan.
First-hand Experiment data!
This is good stuff!
This is a "successful" conclusion reached by a player with a score of 2400, who used his own life as material to conduct an "Experiment on accommodating Divinity".
This thing, at this stage, should be an invaluable treasure!
It could even be said that this is something that all the "Su Yida" and "Hu Xuan" people are desperately pursuing!
"You're quite generous..."
"Cooperation means giving and receiving."
Cheng Shi was filled with emotion upon hearing this.
The Nature Sect is different from the Rationality Association; at least in their attitude towards others, the Nature Sect is more likable.
They exploit themselves but do not infringe upon others.
Hu Xuan smiled and extended her hand, saying:
"We can also cooperate."
"..."
Cheng Shi's expression froze for a moment, then he turned and left.
Does being pretty give you the right to be a pervert?
Pooh!
Shameless!
I think you just want my body.
See you tonight!
She watched Cheng Shi's retreating figure without trying to stop him, only softly saying:
"If you regret it, you can come back anytime."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Cheng Shi vanished like a bolt of lightning.
Hu Xuan shook her head and chuckled, then sincerely addressed the remaining two:
"You too."
"He——tui".
Qin Chaoge left with a cold laugh.
Li Boli, however, didn't rush to leave. She looked at Hu Xuan with a complicated expression and asked:
Are you still you?
Hu Xuan smiled and nodded:
"The past is, the present is, and the future is."
I have always been me, and I have never changed.
Li Boli bitter laugh and said self-deprecatingly:
"I didn't make it past 2400 after all. My comprehension is still lacking. I'm leaving now."
After everyone left, Hu Xuan looked up at the [Eternal Day] in the sky.
She slowly stretched out her hand, letting the sunlight filter through her fingers and fall on her face.
The light and shadow cast dappled patterns on her fair face, and her gaze became increasingly unfocused.
"May all lost items be returned, may the stolen goods be recovered, may you and I... be reunited. Relax, I'm coming to find you."
In this gentle murmur...
The sun dimmed again.
Her belly swelled up again.
Yuanmu Town remains bustling today, with crowds thronging the streets.
It was as if those who died last night were not their friends, neighbors, or companions, but just some complete strangers.
Even though some bodies had just been taken away by the garrison and many soldiers were still washing away the bloodstains, neither travelers nor residents seemed to care about any of this.
Cheng Shi watched all this with great interest and went up to chat with the townspeople.
Do people die frequently in Yuanmu Town?
The woman selling vegetables looked up, saw a traveler, and replied with a smile:
There will always be people who do not Faith in Him and want to challenge His authority, but man is man and God is God.
He only let out a sliver of anger, but for us, it was a devastating blow.
Traveler, I hope you and your friends will remember this: do not go out on the night of the Blood Moon.
"That's a great suggestion, we will follow it. Also, I'd like to ask what kind of punishment the town imposes on escaped prisoners?"
Cheng Shi and Qin Chaoge are still criminals; they are probably among the few survivors of last night's prison break.
To avoid trouble, they disguised themselves when they went out, so as not to be caught and sent back to jail if they encountered the guards.
But the old lady's words left the two of them completely dumbfounded.
"Are you referring to those sinners who survived last night?"
Praise be to the Eternal Day! This morning, the High Priest issued Special Governance Order, pardoning the sins of all travelers.
As long as they refrain from breaking the law, they can continue to enjoy their trip here.
"?"
Cheng Shi was stunned.
He never expected that his escape last night would not only go unpunished, but would actually be rewarded.
What kind of development is this?
A town of masochists?
Hearing this, Li Boli frowned and lowered her voice to the other two:
"This is strange. I'll go check it out first."
After saying that, he turned into a gust of wind and disappeared.
Cheng Shi was also full of doubt. He led Qin Chaoge straight ahead and arrived at the most lively bar in the town.
"Is this our battlefield today?" Qin Chaoge looked at the bar's sign, his mouth watering.
"The more chaotic a place is, the more information you'll find. Come on, you buy me a drink."
"You don't even pay for drinks when you're picking up girls?"
"I only make tea, not pick up girls, thank you."
"Making tea? You don't actually like green tea, do you?"
"Why not?"
"..."
Dusk Bar, the largest bar in town.
Cheng Shi sat at the bar and casually ordered a few drinks, his eyes began to dart around, as if he were looking for someone.
Qin Chaoge is unreliable. This girl is like a woman in heat when she sees alcohol. As soon as she walks in, she goes to another table to drink with people.
Every Believer in "war" has their own way of venting their anger; otherwise, pent-up frustration and rage can easily lead to problems.
Since she despises Hu Xuan's ways, it means she prefers to do something else.
Sure enough, the "other" refers to alcohol.
Cheng Shi ignored her and continued searching on his own, soon finding his target.
The veteran inmate who shared his experiences in the dungeon.
He was indeed alive, or rather, he was certain he wouldn't die, because he had already grasped the workings of Yuanmu Town and knew that as long as he followed the advice, there would be no problems.
Cheng Shi his drink and prepared to go talk to him.
But as soon as he stood up, a familiar figure stood in front of him.
She was a beautiful woman, a delicate and beautiful woman.
"?"
Cheng Shi blinked in surprise, seemingly wondering how she knew he was there.
Before I could even ask, the beautiful woman spoke first.
"Please don't send me away."
She started crying as soon as she opened her mouth, leaving Cheng Shi completely bewildered.
"The High Priest has issued Special Governance Order that all tourism assistants must conceive a child today, and I..."
I know you don't like Shaman, but... could you please...?
"Ha?"
Cheng Shi frowned and interrupted Shaman:
"You mean, every tourism assistant has to get pregnant today?"
"Um."
Shaman stood in front of Cheng Shi, extremely nervous. Her hands were tightly clasped together, and her face was flushed with unease, like a sinner awaiting sentencing.
How did you know I was here?
"Just now outside, I... I saw you come in..."
"You know I want to replace you, and you still dare to come looking for me?"
"I... I..."
Where do you live?
"Hey... huh?" Shaman was at a loss for words.
Cheng Shi smiled knowingly.
"Aren't you going to have a baby? It's not convenient here. Come on, lead the way."
Shaman's face instantly turned bright red, her eyes filled with unbelievable joy. She nodded while crying, and led Cheng Shi away from the bar, heading towards her home.
Qin Chaoge had just finished drinking when he turned around and found that Cheng Shi Shiren was gone.
