Chapter 277 Goodbye

The sunshine on the island was bright, making Shi Cunjin's front bright and clear.

A breeze blew from one direction, carrying the heat of the summer sun and bringing a drowsy warmth. Shi Cunjin had been soaking in the chilly, bone-chilling black mud for too long, and his consciousness-mimicking humanoid figure had transformed into a pool of semi-transparent, semi-frozen crystal fat. The slightly hot wind blew on Shi Cunjin's frozen skin, and the temperature was just right.

On the other side of the Black Gate on the Sea, the assistant's voice disappeared, and only the voices of several authors who stayed there to chat came one after another: "I didn't expect that alcoholic beverages would not be provided at this conference." "Normal. There was an accident in X City last year..." "..."

The anger in Shi Cunjin's heart dissipated for a moment, and he let out a long breath. He looked into the distance at the sea and sky in the virtual realm, enjoying the feeling of returning to the human world from hell.

What about the exposure of a middle school-age online nickname due to psychic communication throughout the entire region, what about the record of Saint Pavilion's early internet scandal that swept the entire alliance area, what about social death caused by identity confusion, what about the subtlety of a jealous partner with a violent personality knowing his secret at the same time as the Zerg from the outside world - Shi Cunjin emptied his mind and basked in the sun quietly.

After a few minutes, the black door on the sea slowly opened to both sides. The door frame was covered with a layer of slightly rippling water waves, which reflected several hazy gray human figures. Long and melodious light music and more low-frequency chatting sounds came from the other side of the door, revealing a part of the gathering scene inside the door.

Shi Cunjin came back to his senses, raised his eyes and looked, and was stunned.

He could see the details of the distant view behind the door at a glance: the knife-cut curves of the fruit display on the long table in the distance, the small bubbles in the cream icing that decorated the cake, the cross-sectional textures of various meat and vegetarian dishes, the leaf patterns and dewdrops that decorated the flowers in the middle of the table, the high champagne towers at the head and end of the table, and a beautiful swan-shaped wine bottle next to it, with a line of detailed text on the bottle: Freshly squeezed pomegranate juice (99% juice content)

In Shi Cunjin's vision, all the background details of the author's gathering are clearly visible.

However, Shi Cunjin could not distinguish the specific images of the authors who were chatting in groups of three or four around the table.

In Shi Cunjin's sight, the authors who were chatting about everything turned into gray shadows.

The facial features, clothes and body characteristics of these figures were blurry, but Shi Cunjin could clearly see the beating brain, heart, liver, spleen, kidney and blood vessel network inside the gray human body.

Shi Cunjin looked at the people behind the black door, as if he was scanning them with an infrared thermal imaging device.

A thought flashed through Shi Cunjin's mind: So this is what it feels like to look at humans with alien eyes.

Shi Cunjin then recalled the explanation the system gave him at the beginning: [I knew I made the right choice by choosing you at that time, but at the writers' conference, your inspiration was the brightest...! ]

Shi Cunjin looked at the gray figure. Everything inside the door remained unchanged at the time when he left, but everything was still different.

Then, Shi Cunjin began to think about the results and consequences of choosing the Black Gate: Suppose he chose to go through the Black Gate and return to the 21st century. After he opened his eyes, would his spirit consciousness directly return to the human body, or would he bring Destiny Sariel, the Zerg body, back to the 21st century? Moreover, if his spirit consciousness returned to the human body, then Destiny on the Zerg side would become a brain-dead zombie like Gobelier.

Shi Cunjin paused, and naturally thought of who would be the first to come into contact with the brain-dead Destiny Sariel. Anushka.

Maybe Anushka is now standing guard in the icy pond, watching his heartbeat and brain waves, waiting for him to regain consciousness with a surge of rage.

…

Shi Cunjin stood up and walked towards the sea. The warm sea water under the sunlight submerged Shi Cunjin's calves and thighs, and two soft S-shaped arcs of water rippled from behind his waist.

Shi Cunjin leaned towards the illusory black door.

…

Shi Cunjin has poured out a lot of effort and enlightenment in the Zerg world. For those living beings who are trying hard to move forward in the cracks of difficult situations, for those ignorant kindnesses that are repaid to him a hundredfold, for those silent but firm trusts, and for those tired birds that have flown through three deaths and still cannot stop, he has given enough blood and love to this world outside the heaven. Now the opportunity to return to everything in order is right in front of him, and Shi Cunjin should have chosen to leave without hesitation.

But until this moment, what Shi Cunjin thought about most was how to deal with the aftermath of the Zerg world.

Shi Cunjin looked at the scene inside the door for a few seconds, then raised his hand and stroked the sea water above the black door. The water rippled and the scene of the authors' gathering behind the door slowly disintegrated.

Shi Cunjin said to himself: "...When you start to hesitate about a choice, you have already leaned towards one side."

This quiet sea represents Shi Cunjin's heart. The sea water dispersed the scene of the writers' gathering, and then condensed again to reflect another scene: an old building with red walls and green tiles.

It was afternoon, and several doors were open in front and back of the courtyard. The breeze blew straight through, and the old persimmon tree in the courtyard cast a green shadow, casting a cool, swaying light spot on the ground in the courtyard paved with bluestone. There were many rattan chairs of different sizes under the old persimmon tree. The small rocking chair was empty, and a hazy gray figure was sitting on the large rattan chair.

There is a small bucket at the feet of the figure, and a dustpan full of dried peanuts on his knees. The figure is peeling peanuts with scissors. There is a mobile phone on the small tea table next to him, and the volume of the mobile phone is louder than the cicada on the tree: [Welcome handsome men and beautiful women to click into the Bobo Room. All who come in are brothers and sisters. We are one family and don’t have two sides. The most expensive new cotton autumn pants on the entire platform. Wearing them once will make you feel hot all over, wearing them twice will make you get angry in winter! Wearing them three times will burn you to death! Off-season new products are pure benefits! 18% off for the whole store, give away for the whole store! Only 18, only 18! Take the new cotton autumn pants home! ]

Shi Cunjin: ...

It was so down-to-earth that even though Shi Cunjin couldn't tell the specific appearance of humans in the 21st century, he instantly recognized that the figure was the old dean who had taken care of him when he grew up.

In my memory, the dean's mother was always busy, always doing something, and sitting under a tree, cutting peanuts and chestnuts while listening to the radio was the old dean's habit of killing time. With the advancement of technology, the old dean has switched to using his mobile phone to listen to advertisements on various live broadcast platforms in recent years.

Shi Cunjin was speechless for a moment. When he hesitated over an important choice, Jinghai, who connected his soul, brought him the first guide in his life.

At this moment, Shi Cunjin holds the strange power that connects the two worlds. It is like a natural subconscious imprint. He knows how to use this strange power to project consciousness to people in the 21st century without any instruction.

When Cun Jin "wanted" to talk to the director's mother in the hospital, the director's mother would hallucinate a voice coming from her head, but she would not notice anything wrong. Until the end of the conversation, the director's mother would only think that this subconscious conversation took place in a past chat.

Shi Cunjin called softly: [Dean.]

Gray Shadow was cutting peanuts neatly without raising his head: [Hey, Jin, you're back. I haven't heard from you in half a year. Are you not busy? How are you feeling lately? Did you fall anywhere?]

Shi Cunjin: [My work has come to an end for now. I am in good health recently. I have not fallen, broken any bones, or been hospitalized.]

Gray Shadow smiled kindly and said, "Are you coming back for the New Year this year? The sheep that Xiaobin raised in another town two years ago have been sent out this year. A few were delivered last week. The little radishes in the yard have been drinking sheep soup for a week, but now they hide when they smell it. But when winter comes, they will all be eager to eat roasted lamb again. If you come back for the New Year this year, you must go round."

Shi Cunjin was silent for more than ten seconds before he said softly: [I am still abroad... I can't go back to celebrate the New Year this year.]

As soon as the words started coming out, the choice was clear. Shi Cunjin would sometimes hesitate and remain silent, but once he made a decision, his determination was as strong as an arrow and he would never look back.

Shi Cunjin paused for a few seconds, then spoke again, calmly and smoothly: [Aunt, I will entrust a logistics company to send back the New Year's goods this year. Also, I asked Wenwen and Xiao Zhang last month, they have already obtained the public funding quota for exchange study abroad in the department, and I have prepared their living expenses and further study expenses. The bank will transfer the money to your account regularly. ]

Shi Cunjin paused, and said in a serious tone: [This batch of regular remittances is the royalties of some of my works. It is a stable income every year. Aunt, please don't be so happy that you want to sell the old building to raise tuition fees just because there are too many graduate students in the same year.]

Gray Shadow was quiet for a while, then uttered: [How can that be possible? I still need to live in the old house for retirement. Got it.]

Gray Shadow was cutting peanuts, called out Shi Cunjin's name, and said kindly: "You are the one who has traveled the farthest in the hospital, to all corners of the country and abroad. It's good for you to go out and gain more experience. You must pay more attention to safety. The news reported a few days ago that there were wars in many places abroad. I heard that some strange things happened and many straits have suspended navigation.

Be careful, avoid dangerous places when you go out, go to safe attractions, like the Zhongzhou Rainforest, it's good, it's good, it's the oxygen lung forest of the earth, the news says that breathing in the oxygen there can prolong your life. But it's a bit troublesome to get in, you have to take exams for an explorer certificate, a medical certificate, a plant certificate... I heard that you have to take 12 sets of certificates, listen, the entry threshold of good places is high! 】

Shi Cunjin: […Auntie, there are more poisonous tropical insects in the rainforest than bullets on the battlefield…Okay, I get it. I will consider including that rainforest in my travel destination.]

Gray Shadow smiled: [You finally passed those exams, didn't you?]

Shi Cunjin: [Yes.]

Gray Shadow picked up another handful of peanuts and started to cut them. [You are just like that. You like excitement. Xiao Lu was chatting with me before and let slip that he saw the news on a foreign social platform that you went to Antarctica to shoot the aurora and lightning, but unfortunately encountered an ice storm. The year before last, you found an excuse not to come back for the New Year. You must have been in the hospital.]

Shi Cunjin hummed and laughed: [You let it slip? Tsk... you little snitch, I was just asking you to nag me. ]

Gray Shadow said cheerfully: "You left early. The little carrot head who came later had no idea that you were a tough and bold person. You dared to watch me slaughter cattle and chop sheep when you were little and you were not even as tall as a stool.

When Xiao Lu heard about your injury, he kept it to himself all night and got an ulcer in his mouth. When he told me the next day, he couldn't even speak loudly. If I hadn't contacted you a few days later and you were still in good spirits, he would have failed the placement test that month! Gray Shadow's voice gradually became more serious: [Did you provide them with that batch of mobile phones at that time?]

Shi Cunjin: […Yes. If you keep studying under high pressure, you will develop psychological problems. They need to relax sometimes. I was watching them.]

Gray Shadow sighed: "You have been taking care of the orphanage for many years. You have been imitating adults since you were a child. You are not even 20 or 30 years old, but you look like an old man. The brothers and sisters in the orphanage have grown up, and they are fine these years. The orphanage has not accepted any children in recent years. In the future, you should enjoy your time. Pay more attention to safety when playing extreme sports, and check the protective measures several times when playing anything. Don't think too much about other things.

Auntie's physical examination this year was excellent, and she is healthy and strong. Oh, you don't know, the batch of sheep delivered last week, your auntie slaughtered them cleanly in a few seconds, and Xiaobin didn't even touch the knife. According to Xiaolu's dirty mouth, your auntie will definitely live longer than the one in the hospital who loves extreme sports the most. 】

Shi Cunjin listened to these nagging quietly and blessed: "Auntie will live a long life. The children in the orphanage have been very promising in recent years. They know how to repay good deeds. You don't have to worry too much about them. They are very clever. After they enter the society, they will suffer minor losses at most. Really bad things will not happen to them."

Gray Shadow: [Yes, everything is fine. Go to work without worry. I will take care of the house.]

Shi Cunjin looked at the gray figure who was cutting peanuts with his head down for a long time, and said softly: "Goodbye, Mom."

The water of Heimen on the sea rippled slightly, and the scene of the old building of the welfare home slowly faded away.

Shi Cunjin stroked the water waves again, and the waves scattered and gathered together, condensing into a new scene: a young couple was sitting in the e-sports room at home, both operating colorful flashing keyboards, wearing cat-ear headphones, and the display screen was an online FPS game.

"Fuck! What are you doing in the second row, Battlefield Seraph? Your aim is too mysterious, are you a controller player?" The man screamed directly on the microphone, "The group health recovery pack you opened went into the opponent's camp!!"

"What are you arguing about! The top pick of the second row is Plague Doctor! Second row, second row, you are about to die once, return to the base and switch to Plague Doctor!" The woman shouted excitedly: "Then use Plague's basic and ultimate skills at the opposite collective gate! First bless each reborn hero on the opposite side to lose 20% of their health when they return to the field, and then stack the debuff of eating the nurse's bag and dying suddenly!! Plague school stand up!"

Shi Cunjin: ...

This brings me back to the dirty high notes of college for a second.

Shi Cunjin "thought" and passed through the black door, using consciousness projection to greet the couple and friends: [Geniuses, how are you doing recently. ]

The man typed furiously as he said, "Is the work in city x finished? When will you come back to get together? I'll call xx and the others to have a nice meal together. "xxxx" has already released its third new hero this year, so you're the only one missing for the game night."

The woman flicked her mouse to change the view angle, saying: [The project department just closed a case recently, and the commission was quite a lot. We paid in full for a new car, which is very powerful and can charge at the start. Come back soon, and the seniors will take you out for a race and eat delicious food. Oh, yes, our project went smoothly this time, and the partner is planning to invest in a racing track in the new city. I left a trial ticket for you.]

Shi Cunjin looked at them and said, "I will be flying abroad soon. You guys go and have fun first and explore the way for me."

Man: [Where on earth is a lightning storm about to hit? Have you bought insurance? ]

Woman: [Okay, let's go explore the route first, be careful and call us if anything happens.]

Man: [By the way, your sister-in-law and I got two more SIM cards this year. I’ll send them to you later. Remember them in case our primary number is busy when you try to contact us. After all, it’s not the first time that you’ve lost your phone while traveling.]

Shi Cunjin narrowed his eyes: [Yeah, okay.]

Couple: [Bye, have fun.]

Shi Cunjin stretched out his hand and brushed the reflection of the black door in the water. The water waves slowly dissipated and formed a new scene again; one, two, many.

Shi Cunjin used a very normal attitude to talk to each of his good friends, partners, siblings he cared for, friends from writers' gatherings and assistants one by one, arranged the distribution of property in an orderly manner, used consciousness projection to control the hands of individual investment bankers, wrote his signature on various insurance policies, consent forms, authorization forms and new contracts, creating the impression that he was preparing to embark on a long-term trip.

All of Shi Cunjin's friends knew that he had a strange luck. He would always lose contact inexplicably during an expedition or a field trip. None of them felt surprised that Shi Cunjin suddenly "found" them and cared about their recent situation.

Shi Cunjin went through all the interpersonal networks one by one, and set up automatic holiday greetings in his email account for his brothers and sisters, close friends, partners and even sponsored students in the hospital. He patiently wrote preset blessing letters, letters of comfort and encouragement for different people at different times.

At the same time, Shi Cunjin also used strange consciousness projection to influence a friend, asking him to contact a reputable and reliable express logistics company and signed several long-term cooperation contracts: the express company would send some candy and flower gifts to more than 20 addresses in the name of "Shi Cunjin" on holidays and specific times every year.

Shi Cunjin spent a long time dealing with the aftermath of the 21st century.

Fortunately, the Dream Island and the cross-border Black Gate are both creations of the consciousness world, and Shi Cunjin is no longer the candidate who went to the temple for training. He now has complete control over his own temple domain. As long as Shi Cunjin wants, the speed of time here, which is comparable to the real world of the Zerg, can be long or short.

Shi Cunjin arranged all the funeral arrangements and took one last look at the 21st century in the black door: Goodbye. He raised his hand and brushed across the sea, dispersing all the projections of the 21st century. He no longer looked at the black door floating quietly, took a few steps into the shallow sea, plunged into the sea, and actively controlled his consciousness to return to reality.

…

…

"The brain wave frequency has changed!"

"Quick, breathing mask! Send oxygen!"

"…,…,…3,2,1, OK, the tail scale tentacles have been removed successfully. Now we can transfer Belin to the prison medical area."

…

When Shi Cunjin regained consciousness, his first reaction was that his body felt heavy and cramped, his breathing was difficult, his head was splitting, and his hearing was muffled by tinnitus.

The second feeling was heat. A warm recollection surrounded him, and the warmth greatly alleviated the discomfort that Shi Cunjin felt when he returned to reality.

Shi Cunjin tried hard to open his eyes, but his head felt numb.

He had not realized it while staying in the consciousness space, but once he returned to reality, Shi Cunjin realized: he had successfully eliminated the existence representing the distorted will, and his mental consciousness expanded and surged again, and the huge mental consciousness could not immediately adapt to the real body.

For a moment, Shi Cunjin's head swelled and his pupils became blank and empty. His vision was blurred and he could only see blocks of color moving. His ears were tinnitus-filled.

A golden and black block was sticking to him, and a large white block was surrounding him right in front of his sight. Behind the golden and black and white blocks were pure black blocks standing at attention.

The golden and black block moved closer, Shi Cunjin moved his fingers, and the next moment he felt his hand being held tightly, and being pulled to press against a smooth piece of fabric. An anxious heartbeat hit Shi Cunjin's palm hard.

A heart. Shi Cunjin thought with his swollen head, it was Anushka.

Golden black block: “——”

Shi Cunjin tilted his head slightly, gently touched the hand caressing his face with his face, squinted his hazy eyes, and called hoarsely: "...Anushka."

“——” The golden and black block lowered its head, “——, ——, ——?”

Shi Cunjin still couldn't hear what Anushka said clearly.

However, his spiritual tendrils filled the entire ice therapy room chaotically. As soon as Anushka spoke, no matter what he said, the entire ice therapy room was instantly filled with the smell of fear and death.

"..." Even though Shi Cunjin's head was numb, he understood that his partner's emotional state at the moment was like a nuclear bomb that was preheated for launch.

Shi Cunjin's condition gradually improved, and his scattered spiritual consciousness was adapting to his body at an accelerated pace, and it provided real-time feedback to its master: the ice therapy room was filled with fully armed Far East military females inside and outside, and all the moth-type military females guarding the Cat's Eye main ship were brutally suppressed.

Following the order of the Far East Chief, the Far East Army forced all Zerg in the Cat's Eye Ship to be put into prisoner star style electric shock torture rings.

Even the A-level nobleman, Klein Gary, was subjected to severe illegal control.

The three Far East soldiers held electromagnetic arc ropes, kept a distance of one and a half meters from the A-level minister, opened the electromagnetic arc ropes to form a triangular blockade line, and controlled Klein Gary's range of movement.

The electromagnetic arc cable can temporarily interfere with all current transmission signals. Klein Garry stood expressionlessly in the electric current enclosure, unable to use any smart products. Two military females knelt beside Klein Garry. One was a cat-eyed moth species that was knocked to the ground by electricity, and the other was Evans Eamon, whose Far East logo was removed.

In the cryotherapy room, the comatose Gobelil Berling had been rescued by a Far Eastern military doctor and put in shackles. The restraint rings that pierced the main blood vessels of his limbs were equipped with a healing agent to completely destroy the prisoner's mobility.

Shi Cunjin: ...

...Looking at the bright side, at least he still has time to enter the password to shut down the Far East nuclear bomb. 68.505*79"69.

At this moment, Shi Cunjin's body indicators began to stabilize, his vision became clear, his tinnitus gradually subsided, and his breathing became smooth. It was not until this moment that Shi Cunjin realized that the tinnitus that troubled his hearing was not tinnitus, but the system's long and sharp bursts.

【Teacher Shi, Teacher Shi, you are finally awake!! If you feel uncomfortable!! Just make a sound!! Don’t worry about any burdens!!! If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me!! The AI ​​Armor Group and the Far East Army Group have completely surrounded Sky Harbor!! If the cat-eyes dare to have any opinions, even if the Wanderer Commander stands in the cat-eyes, we can directly beat them to pieces!!! The damn joker actually made you faint for so long!! And made you vomit blood in a coma!! Just make a sound!! I will kill a few stupid doctors Belling to make you feel better!!】

【Silent.】

【! ! ! ! 】【~~~~】【! ! ! 】

[The punctuation is also quiet. ]

Shi Cunjin recovered from the dizziness and held Anushka's hand, his tongue a little stiff: "I'm fine now, my spirit is not injured, everything is still in my plan..." Shi Cunjin raised his face and touched the corner of Anushka's lips with his cold lips, "...I will go back and explain everything I promised you...Please stop being angry..."

“…”

"Cough cough cough cough cough!!!" Shi Cunjin suddenly coughed violently and felt dizzy. His mental consciousness, which had not yet fully recovered, was suddenly washed away by the emotions that surged in the room in an instant.

The physical sensation is like a whole stick of mustard pouring back into the airway.

The system screamed uncontrollably at the same time: [Teacher Shi, can you please have a little more of the self-awareness and arrogance of His Majesty the Saint!!! A567 surpassed Crazy Anthony's disgusting achievement on the entire network 20 minutes ago. If you say a few more soft words to A567, the three views and hearts of the indoor bug tribe will be shattered! ]

The next moment, the expressionless Far East commander helped the silver-haired minister to sit up from the heated ice pool. The Far East commander raised his hand and issued an order. The Far East Army lifted the first line of martial law and closed the arc blockade that encircled the cat-eyed senior minister. The Far East military doctor took out a medical box and neatly injected a repair needle into Klein Gary's moth guardian.

However, the Far East Army only restored the mobility of one Moth Guardian beside Klein Garry, while the other Moth Guardians were still shackled and controlled.

After the silver-haired gentleman woke up from his trance, he leaned against the Far East General and said tiredly and stiffly for the third time: "... Klein... Gary, come to me."
