Chapter 36 10.27
Ji Changqing stared indifferently at the other side of the wall. After talking with others and having dinner, the guy was sitting at the table with his face supported and a silly expression on his face.
He snorted, retracted his gaze, and left the room.
In line with what that idiot said, he confirmed that the domain could indeed be expanded.
But expanding the field is much more difficult than converting matter.
He spent several hours in the afternoon trying to devour half of his supplies.
The area of the field has indeed increased.
But the radius has only expanded by less than ten centimeters, and the expansion process is not easy. It requires full concentration and no distraction.
The consequence of being distracted is that, just like before, he was interrupted by the singing of the idiot next door, wasting food resources that are enough for an ordinary adult to consume for about ten days, but he did not expand the area by even a millimeter, but all turned into nothingness.
If the expansion is successful, his spirit will become very tired and he will need rest.
Therefore, he should not be able to continuously devour any matter he can see without stopping for a moment and expand his domain to the maximum.
Ji Changqing did not take the risk of continuing to explore the limits of the areas he could expand.
Instead, he took the remaining supplies out of the territory and stored them at home.
My eyes inadvertently swept over the living room table and saw the cell phone that the guy had forgotten to pick up twice.
Ji Changqing was a little absent-minded. He turned his head to look at his cell phone which had been turned off for a long time.
After staring blankly for a while, he looked away with an expression neither happy nor sad.
October 27
He Rui got up early in the morning and went for a morning jog around the community while listening to music.
The biggest advantage of BGM is the freedom of music...no need to wear headphones.
When he ran the third lap and passed the north gate of the community, he suddenly saw the protagonist.
The other person exuded an aura that kept strangers away, and stood coldly at the entrance of the community, as if waiting for someone.
He Rui finally discovered it.
This guy always has such a sour face no matter if there are people around or not.
Maybe the protagonist is born with this look? Stinky face syndrome?
He ran up to greet the protagonist.
"Good morning, Brother Ji!"
The other person glanced at him, then immediately looked away from his face without replying, and was rather cold.
He Rui didn't know what this guy's glance at him meant. Did he think that this was a greeting?
Or, in fact, he was ignored by the other party...
Continue talking without getting discouraged.
"Brother Ji, what are you doing? Are you going out? Do you need me to go with you? I'll drive you wherever you want to go. I'll be your driver..."
Before He Rui could finish his words, he was shut up by the man's cold gaze.
He felt somewhat depressed as he looked at the man's unfriendly expression that almost showed the word "annoyance" written all over his face.
He had clearly agreed to take him in as his younger brother, but every time he tried to get closer and make friends, this guy refused so firmly.
It seemed as if she didn't want him to get close to her at all and was very resistant to him.
He Rui didn't understand.
If you hate him, why did you agree to accept him and play tricks on him?
"Well...then I'll continue running." He Rui lowered his voice and ran away dejectedly.
Apart from anything else, he basically has a very good relationship with others and is good at making friends. He will chat with strangers sitting next to him on planes or high-speed trains all the way.
He just couldn't understand why the protagonist disliked him so much and frustrated him every time he tried to talk to him...
As He Rui ran, he thought, why not just be a quiet subordinate? Normally, he should just disappear and show up when this guy called him?
But I also feel that if I really do that, if I really become invisible and don’t make my presence felt, I’m afraid that he and the protagonist will become more and more distant.
What if the protagonist always forgets to call him, doesn’t contact him on a daily basis, and doesn’t say a word for half a month?
He was afraid that this kid might forget about him.
He Rui ran another lap and when he passed the gate of the community, he found that the protagonist was no longer there.
After running for about ten laps, he returned to the community panting and with unsteady steps.
There is no need to queue up to take the elevator now. The three houses he bought have been basically renovated, and there are basically no rich second-generation employees on the 7th floor going up and down to move things and blocking the elevator.
Apart from the space and corridor that had to be left empty for his living needs, the three houses were packed with only one empty room left.
He planned to use that room to store clothes, shoes and equipment in the protagonist's size.
The few people who had helped him transport the goods before had moved to another location and were transporting more supplies to two locations he had chosen, a high-rise warehouse in the south of the city and the manor.
...
He Rui walked out of the elevator and glanced at the door of 702 when passing by the protagonist's house.
Not sure if that guy is in there now.
Back at 701, He Rui changed his clothes and washed his face.
When I looked up, I suddenly realized that my body, which was very insensitive and slow to react, had turned red after strenuous exercise and high-intensity running.
I hadn't paid attention to the mirror before, and suddenly saw myself like this.
He Rui, who had never blushed since he was a child, looked at himself in the mirror curiously.
I feel like a red toad.
He Rui stroked his chin and looked at it for a while, then turned and walked to the crowded living room, found a stool to sit down and rest, preparing to take a short break and then change to another exercise to continue.
The door of 701 was wide open and not closed.
He Rui wanted to listen to the noise outside the door and observe whether the protagonist had returned home.
If the other party hasn't come back yet, he will wait for the protagonist to come back and then block that guy.
He thought it over and decided that he had to persevere and stick to the protagonist. The benefits outweighed the disadvantages, so he couldn't give up harassing the protagonist.
More than an hour passed.
He Rui, who was lifting dumbbells, suddenly heard the elevator ding outside the door.
Judging from the sound, He Rui was sure that the train had stopped at his floor.
I thought there was no one else, the only ones who could come to this floor were him and the protagonist of 702.
He decisively and excitedly rushed out with dumbbells, ready to block the person.
The dumbbells in your hands are not for nothing, they are useful.
He was prepared to use this to prop up the door in case the other party closed it again and didn't let him in.
He has experience.
The protagonist must always be prepared with a tool to push the door open, otherwise the other party will close the door too quickly and he won't be able to say a word.
He Rui ran out at a very fast speed.
But after seeing who was standing outside, he was dumbfounded.
The person who came was not the protagonist, but a guy he didn't know.
The man was quite tall and fair-skinned. He looked young, about eighteen or nineteen, or at most in his early twenties.
At this moment, the young man was standing at the door of 702, carrying a suitcase, and using the fingerprint lock to open the door of 702.
He rushed out with great movement and his footsteps were noisy.
After hearing the noise, the other party turned his head and glanced at him lightly, but didn't pay much attention to him. Then he turned around and opened the door and went into the house.
He Rui stood there in a daze, looking at the closed door of Room 702, feeling a little confused.
Look at that guy walking into the protagonist's house as naturally as if he were walking into his own home. Is he someone close to the protagonist?
Friends? Brothers?
Thinking about it, the young man did have a face somewhat similar to the protagonist.
He Rui's scalp felt a little numb.
If my guess is correct, that guy should be the murderer who murdered the protagonist, the protagonist's younger brother, Ji Xinghan.
