Chapter 93
Feng Jihan sat in Cen Xun's passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt, feeling a little nervous: "Can you really drive?"
Cen Xun turned the key in the ignition without looking up: "How do you think I drove the car here?"
"I saw the dent in the bumper."
Cen Xun: "You talk too much, shut up."
Feng Jihan had no choice but to shut up and watch Cen Xun steer the wheel silently.
In fact, he had enrolled Cen Xun in a driving school before, but each time Cen Xun never stayed in the school for more than a day.
The reason was simple: Cen Xun didn't like the coach speaking to him in a commanding tone, so he always ended up parting ways with the coach on bad terms.
Feng Jihan had no other choice but to think that if he couldn't drive, he wouldn't drive. At worst, he could get a driver's license and become Cen Xun's full-time driver.
This lasted for several years.
Feng Jihan never expected that after the strange resurrection, Cen Xun actually learned to drive in the strange driving school.
It sounds a bit outrageous, but when it comes to Cen Xun, it seems very reasonable.
Cen Xun placed his hands loosely on the steering wheel and suddenly asked, "Did you ever teach me how to drive in person before?"
Feng Jihan came back to his senses: "Yeah, you remember?"
Cen Xun: "I only remember a little bit, why didn't you teach me later?"
When this was mentioned, the smile on Feng Jihan's face disappeared. He asked in a somewhat inexplicable manner, "Did you do this on purpose?"
Cen Xun asked doubtfully, "Hmm?"
Feng Jihan was speechless: "Who is it that started harassing the coach while learning?"
Cen Xun raised his eyebrows.
As soon as the word "harassment" was mentioned, the memory came back completely.
Cen Xun married Feng Jihan shortly after he turned 18. But even so, Feng Jihan was unable to change his conservative thinking for a while and still maintained a shameful attitude towards some intimate contact behaviors.
Cen Xun, on the contrary, is a very shameless person and is very happy to see Feng Jihan embarrassed. The more Feng Jihan avoids talking about something, the more he likes to talk about it.
During the time when Feng Jihan was teaching him how to drive, Cen Xun did some rather evil things to him in the car, which left Feng Jihan with a trauma and he never taught Cen Xun how to drive again.
Cen Xun raised the corner of his lip. "Among the charges the warden listed for me, one is molestation. Besides that, there's also illegal detention and rape. Do you think his sentence is reasonable?"
Feng Jihan turned his face away and coughed lightly: "The warden's judgment of charges is indeed a bit rigid. He only considers the actual behavior of the criminals and does not consider the specific circumstances."
Cen Xun said slowly, "You mean you were willing to be imprisoned and molested?"
Feng Jihan held it in for a long time before he reluctantly said the truth: "If I really didn't want to, I wouldn't give you a chance to get close to me."
He couldn't bear to actually hit Cen Xun, so he could only persuade Cen Xun to leave his body. If Cen Xun refused to leave, he actually had no way to deal with Cen Xun.
Cen Xun narrowed his eyes and said, "Then you can actually unlock the chains that locked you in the room?"
Feng Jihan simply revealed his true colors: "Yes, that kind of ordinary lock can actually be opened by me with one hand."
"Why didn't you pry it open?"
"I originally wanted to pry it open," Feng Jihan sighed, "but then I thought, even if I pried it open, what would happen? Running away won't solve any problems. Besides, if I pried it open, wouldn't you be even angrier?"
Cen Xun used to be a weird person with a different way of thinking from that of ordinary people. If he was angry, he would like to take some radical and extreme measures.
He must first find out whether Cen Xun's motive for doing these things is that he is reluctant to let him leave, or simply because he is attracted to his body, in order to effectively soothe Cen Xun's emotions.
So what Cen Xun just said was actually correct, he really was imprisoned voluntarily.
Feng Jihan was lost in thought when he suddenly heard Cen Xun say, "Then go tell the warden that you were willing to be imprisoned and molested by me, and ask him to reduce my sentence."
Feng Jihan looked at Cen Xun in confusion. Is this something he could say? How should he tell the warden?
etc!
Feng Jihan suddenly realized what was happening and asked in disbelief, "You didn't bring the warden back, did you?"
Cen Xun just smiled and said nothing.
Feng Jihan sat in the passenger seat and felt his heart beating faster and faster. He had to take a deep breath to suppress the surging emotions.
On the day of the great melee, the heretic shelter at sea was also lost. The best possibility Feng Jihan had imagined was that the warden did not die in the high-risk heretic port during the prison escape, but was contaminated and turned into a monster, continuing to survive as a monster.
But Cen Xun said that he brought the warden back and the warden might still be conscious.
Feng Jihan's mind was in a mess, and he didn't even know when he arrived at Nightmare University. It was not until the passenger door opened that he suddenly came to his senses and got out of the car.
At this time, he still had no sense of reality and followed Cen Xun closely, pestering him and asking, "Did you really bring him back? Didn't you kill him?"
Cen Xun was annoyed by his chattering in his ear and said unhappily, "You'll see for yourself later, but I have to tell you in advance that his condition is not very good right now."
Even so, Feng Jihan was already very content, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
Cen Xun asked in confusion, "You're so happy! Did the warden have any relationship with you before?"
"We did have some friendship," Feng Jihan recalled. "He was very opposed to the institute conducting human experiments. When I was still at the institute, he helped me several times. Later, when I left the institute, I asked him for help with some things, and he turned a blind eye. In short, he was a very nice person."
"Actually, before you lost your memory, you also had a fight with the warden."
Cen Xun became interested: "Who won in the end?"
Feng Jihan shook his head. "The warden was defeated miserably because his skills had no effect on you. If you didn't have a good side, how would he have cut you in half?"
Hearing this, Cen Xun recalled his experiences over the past four days and fell silent for a moment.
Last time, he easily defeated the warden because he was too evil, but this time, because his good side was cut out, he had to deal with the warden for four days, which really made him at a loss for words.
Feng Jihan just came to his senses at this moment: "But why did you spend four days on the island this time? Could it be..."
Cen Xun had a blank expression on his face, he didn't want to talk now.
Even if he didn't say it, Feng Jihan could guess the reason. He pursed his lips and held Cen Xun's hand as if nothing had happened.
Not far away, 0001, sitting on a sightseeing bus, stared blankly at the two figures walking hand in hand into the medical school. He recognized one of them as the president, but the other, though he was certain he had never seen him before, felt strangely familiar.
He couldn't help but ask Wusa in front of him: "Secretary Wu, who is the person with black and white hair next to the principal?"
Wusa turned her head and looked over there: "That, that's the principal's ex-husband."
0001 was stunned for a moment: "Ex-husband?"
0002 interrupted in shock, "What! A big monster like the principal would actually marry a human?! Is that person human? His hair color is so strange, could he also be a monster?"
0003 interrupted in even greater shock: "What! Is there really someone so powerful that he can even conquer the extremely cruel principal? I don't believe it!"
0009 gnashed her teeth until they made a creaking sound. "What! If he's my ex-husband, how dare he hold my brother's hand? Shameless!"
"The principal's ex-husband is indeed human." Wusa couldn't explain the love-hate relationship between Cen Xun and Feng Jihan for a moment, so she could only say, "The situation is a bit complicated. The details of what happened are all in the campus newspaper. Do you want to know more?"
Everyone in the car: “Yes!”
It’s a waste not to read the principal’s gossip!
Then they each received a collection of past issues of the Nightmare Campus Newspaper.
At first glance, it's incredible!
From killing her husband to prove her faith to her deceased husband's miraculous resurrection, from the breakup in the corridor to the reunion on the variety show, people couldn't stop eating the melon.
"The principal is certainly cruel, but isn't this atheist completely innocent?" 0096 tutted. "You know, the Heresy Monitoring Bureau can kill people if they want, but they deliberately sent someone to deceive the principal. Isn't that despicable?"
0024 pondered: "Do atheists really like the principal or are they just pretending? I can't tell."
0003 stroked his chin and analyzed rationally: "Whether atheists like it or not, I think the principal definitely loves them. Look at the principal's ruthless personality. He would even kill himself when he gets ruthless. If he didn't love atheists, he would have minced them into pieces long ago."
Only 0009 stared at the newspaper in anger. After a moment, he turned to look at 0001 beside him and said angrily, "I don't understand. Read it to me!"
0001 came back to his senses from the principal's gossip, looked at the newspaper handed to him by 0009, and fell silent: ""
This child is actually illiterate.
0001 shook his head and took the newspaper. He looked at the flowery and painful literature about youth in the newspaper. He was too embarrassed to read it out loud in public, so he stuffed the newspaper to 0002 and said, "0002, read it to 0009."
0002 shuddered and handed the newspaper to 0003: "My mouth hurts a little. 0003, you read it."
Seeing that 0009's face had become very ugly, Wusa coughed lightly and quickly took out a new phone and handed it to 0009: "Use this."
0009 held the small tin box with a gloomy face: "What is this?"
"It's a handy photo-reader," Wusa said, considerately helping him open the camera. "Take a picture of any part you don't understand, and Yaxu will read it for you."
Yaxu: “.”
You are so arrogant that you use me as a reading machine for your illiterate brother.
0009 got a photo-reading machine and finally realized the goal of eating melons by himself. He curiously took the phone and tapped the newspaper, as if a new world had opened up, and he had no time to care about other people.
After calming the irritable boy, Usa smiled calmly: "Okay, now let's move on to visit the next place."
The task that Cen Xun assigned to Wusa was neither simple nor difficult. He just asked Wusa to lead a few new people to learn about Nightmare University, including its operating model, future development direction, and the current difficulties it encountered.
The easy part in Usa is just to show them around, but the difficulty lies in how to better introduce and demonstrate these mechanisms to them in the most intuitive way.
Wusa has done a lot of homework for this. Next, Wusa plans to take them to experience a copy in the Media College and experience the daily tasks of the players firsthand.
The sightseeing bus on the road attracted the attention of many players. However, there were special shielding rules on the sightseeing bus, and people outside the bus could not see the people inside the bus. The players stopped to talk and speculated whether the legendary principal was sitting in the bus.
The principal's gossip more or less diverted 0001's attention. He withdrew his thoughts from the man with black and white hair, followed Secretary Wu out of the car, and walked into the School of Media.
Cen Xun and Feng Jihan walked out of the elevator and came to the outside of a room.
Cen Xun pushed open the door and turned on the light in the room, only to find that Feng Jihan did not follow him in. Turning around, he found that Feng Jihan was standing outside the door, looking hesitant and hesitant.
"Aren't you coming in?" Cen Xun called him, and he pursed his lips and walked in. With a glance, he saw the person lying on the hospital bed.
Compared to ten years ago, the man had a lot of white hair, his face was thin and pale, his cheekbones were more prominent, and he had many more wrinkles.
Feng Jihan sat down beside the bed and looked at him solemnly, remembering the unbearable look this man gave him when they first met. That was the first time he felt any emotion other than indifference from a human being.
Cen Xun sat down on a chair nearby and explained calmly, "I didn't beat him. He was buried in the mines beneath the prison. When he was dug out, he was already unconscious."
Feng Jihan's expression changed slightly: "He was buried in the mine?"
"Well, that mine seems to be highly polluted. I felt a little overwhelmed after entering." Cen Xun paused. "What exactly are those ores? Why are they so polluted? Why can the metals extracted from them suppress the monster's skills?"
Since he had already given up his position, Feng Jihan told him everything: "That mine, the Heretic Monitoring Bureau calls it the Heart of Chaos."
Cen Xun narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Chaos is the god of chaos in Greek mythology, the origin of all worlds and concepts in legend." Feng Jihan said: "So, the Heresy Monitoring Bureau uses this name to refer to the original god of this world."
Cen Xun slowly repeated: "Original God?"
"You can think of Him as the creator of this world." Feng Jihan nodded. "Decades ago, the original God's power declined and was about to fall. His power overflowed into this world, and as a result, people with special abilities appeared among humans, and monsters were born in the pollution."
Feng Jihan looked at Cen Xun and said, "You nine weirdos are the candidates born from Chaos's divine blood. Chaos will choose one of you to succeed him as god."
Cen Xun: “”
Feng Jihan is such a bad guy. If he doesn't make a sound, it's fine. But when he does, it's shocking. He opens his mouth and reveals such explosive news.
Cen Xun asked slowly, "So that big melee ten years ago was actually also a battle for the divine throne?"
Feng Jihan nodded: "Yes, but in the end, none of you won, and you all regressed back to the larval stage. This once again triggered Chaos's forced screening mechanism, which is why the nine of you met in the small mountain village."
He hesitated for a moment, but finally told Cen Xun everything honestly: "That time was very dangerous. Among the nine of you, only one could inherit Chaos's throne and leave that small mountain village alive. And you are good at using various advantages to play in favorable situations. In terms of hard power, you are actually no match for [Fate], [Time], and [Natural Disasters]."
Cen Xun finally understood: "That's why you got involved."
Feng Jihan smiled and said, "I have to intervene. Although I cannot stop the succession ceremony, I can at least delay it until you have the ability to defeat the Big Three again."
Cen Xun was a little surprised: "You hope that I will inherit the throne?"
Feng Jihan said honestly: "If you have to pick one out of a bunch of rotten peaches, then pick one that's not too rotten. Look at the others, who is reliable?"
Cen Xun sneered: "It's really hard for you to choose a rotten peach like me."
Feng Jihan knew he had used the wrong metaphor, so he cleared his throat guiltily and changed the subject: "I will vote for you. Actually, there are other reasons, but let's not talk about that for now. Let's get back to the Heart of Chaos."
"Chaos is now in a semi-deceased state. His body has vanished, and you were born from his divine blood. His power has leaked out, becoming a kind of pollution." Feng Jihan whispered, "And that mine, the Heart of Chaos, the Heretic Monitoring Bureau believes that it contains most of Chaos's power, so they gave it this name."
"Monsters originate from pollution, and pollution originates from Chaos. Perhaps this is why the metal extracted from the mine can suppress monsters."
Cen Xun digested this information and raised another question: "Then why are there two Hearts of Chaos? There should be one in the real world as well."
Feng Jihan explained in detail: "The nightmare world is a different dimension copied from the real world. It can be considered a mirror world of the real world, so the buildings and infrastructure are the same as in the real world. But the Heart of Chaos is divided into two, half in the nightmare world and half in the real world."
Cen Xun: "Since the Heart of Chaos can also spread pollution, why doesn't the Heresy Monitoring Bureau consider destroying it?"
Feng Jihan answered briefly, "The first reason is that it can't be destroyed. The second reason is that we discovered that the extracted metal can be used to deal with monsters, so we think there is room for research and development."
Cen Xun was finally fine. He raised his foot and touched the tip of Feng Jihan's shoe. "He's been lying in the mine for ten years. Is there any treatment?"
Feng Jihan wasn't sure either: "It should require long-term treatment of one or two months."
"Then leave him with me first." Cen Xun said, "Come over and treat him when you have time, how about that?"
Feng Jihan exhaled and agreed: "Okay."
Since he was here, Feng Jihan treated the warden. After the treatment, Feng Jihan seemed to have discovered something and asked Cen Xun curiously, "Has anyone treated him before?"
"Yes, there happened to be a prisoner in the prison who knew how to treat the patient, so we asked him to temporarily save the warden's life," Cen Xun said slowly, crossing his arms. "What a coincidence, maybe he's someone you know."
Feng Jihan really didn't expect Cen Xun to bring back other surprises from Chiyuan Prison. He looked at him eagerly: "Who is it?"
“He only remembers his last name is Shen.”
"Chen?" Feng Jihan was even more speechless: "Could it be Chen Yaoshan?"
Cen Xun stood up and said with a smile, "He will work in the medical school in the future. If you come here every day, you will see him sooner or later."
Feng Jihan's mouth twitched: "Working in a medical school?"
Cen Xun: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing much," Feng Jihan said with a twinkle in his eyes, "it's just that you two were enemies before, but now he has to work with you. When he recovers his memory, he might go crazy."
Upon hearing this, Cen Xun's lips curled up: "Really? I'm already looking forward to that scene."
""
A bad guy is a bad guy. When he was asked to work with an amnesiac enemy, his first reaction was that it was interesting.
But when he saw Cen Xun's malicious expression, Feng Jihan thought, forget it.
These were just basic operations of the evil ball of wool. Hadn't he been used to it for a long time? After all, Cen Xun had rescued the man from Chiyuan Prison this time, which was a rare good thing.
You should praise him well!
As if they were in sync, the next second, Cen Xun pressed the back of his neck and said threateningly, "I rescued all your acquaintances, shouldn't you thank me?"
Feng Jihan felt that he must have been broken, because he actually bent down and kissed Cen Xun on the lips, and said thank you obediently: "Thank you, brother."
Cen Xun stroked the back of his neck with his fingers, but did not say anything immediately, as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment, he raised his amber eyes, a look in them somewhat obscure: "I have another question."
Feng Jihan was puzzled: "Hmm?"
Cen Xun asked slowly, "Since you wanted me to inherit the throne, why didn't you let me awaken during the internal beta test?"
Feng Jihan paused.
Cen Xun waited for five seconds, then pinched the back of his neck and said, "Answer me."
Feng Jihan avoided his gaze: "Do you really want to know?"
Cen Xun looked at him deeply: "Forget what I said to you yesterday. I don't want to be deceived. I hope you can be more honest with me."
"Okay," Feng Jihan finally gave in, but he didn't dare look directly at Cen Xun. "Do you remember that not long after I took you out of the orphanage, you were sick for a while?"
Cen Xun paused and said, "I remember, but I haven't been sick since then."
Feng Jihan finally said: "Because I fed you my blood."
Cen Xun was stunned for a moment: "What?"
Feng Jihan: "In order to enter the nightmare world, I almost blocked all my skills. At that time, the only thing that could immediately heal you and relieve your pain was my blood."
He continued, "Later, I discovered that your body can store the power contained in the blood I feed you. I thought, if I keep feeding you, the power in your body will continue to increase. When you awaken one day, won't you win at the starting line?"
Other monsters just awakened and had no strength in their bodies, but his was different. Just awakened, they were full of strength. Wouldn’t this kill the so-called three giants instantly?
Cen Xun really didn't know what to say, and laughed angrily: "What a genius idea, Feng Jihan."
Feng Jihan said with difficulty: "So according to this idea, of course the later the internal beta is launched, the more beneficial it will be for you."
Cen Xun said coldly, "So you don't have a mouth? I asked you so many times before and you didn't say anything, but now you are willing to tell me?"
Feng Jihan was also anxious: "How can I tell you that I fed you my blood and you wait for me to feed you to the maximum level before awakening, so that you can win at the starting line, will you believe me?"
He definitely wouldn't believe it. Cen Xun hadn't even felt the so-called power in his body at that time, so how could he believe Feng Jihan's words? Moreover, Cen Xun had just discovered that Feng Jihan was a player, and his trust in him was crumbling. Of course, he wouldn't believe him even more, thinking that it was just a lie Feng Jihan was trying to trick him into believing.
Cen Xun calmed down for a moment.
Feng Jihan was silent for a moment, then said, "I was wrong too. I shouldn't have ignored your wishes and made the decision for you. I'm sorry."
"There's another reason I didn't tell you. I'm afraid you'd feel sick if you knew you drank my blood without knowing it." Feng Jihan lowered his eyes: "Do you feel sick now?"
Cen Xun stared at him for a moment: "It's quite abnormal for a human."
"But I'm not human." Cen Xun gently stroked the ends of his silver hair. "I'm naturally happy for you to take the initiative to add to my meal."
Cen Xun hugged Feng Jihan, put his arm around his back, leaned on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Let's continue to entangle with each other with ulterior motives. You secretly put blood in my cup, and I secretly put poison in yours. We're even now."
Feng Jihan suddenly opened his eyes, pushed Cen Xun away a little, and looked at him suspiciously: "Poison?"
Cen Xun said calmly, "Yes, it was rat poison, but it didn't kill you even after several days, so I thought it had expired. Now I finally understand, it turns out you are gifted."
Feng Jihan: ""
Feng Ji was so angry that he almost died: "Cen Xun! How could you do this!!"
Cen Xun glanced at him and said, "I've already said it before, I'm not a good person. Do you really think that I left the orphanage with you because you changed my mind?"
After saying that, he walked out. Feng Jihan chased him out and said angrily beside him: "I will never forgive you, I really won't forgive you!!"
Cen Xun suddenly stopped, and Feng Jihan was unable to dodge and bumped into his back, and couldn't help but groan.
Cen Xun turned his back to him and said, "But when I first awakened, my level was still Purple Clothes Level, so where did the power you gave me go?"
A series of events that happened after the fall flashed through his mind, and Cen Xun soon discovered something unreasonable.
That is the reward [Mind Reading] for achieving the first kill in the Nightmare Camp.
This is the only skill he can use unlimitedly without consuming any energy after he woke up from falling from the building.
With this skill, he discovered the truth about the players and this world, and thus formulated a plan to usurp the throne.
But is there really such a thing as a free lunch in this world?
Any skill will consume energy.
So, the energy consumed by [Mind Reading] is
Cen Xun turned his head and looked at Feng Jihan: "When I fell from the building, I killed a player and got a first kill reward called [Mind Reading]. Is this your skill?"
Feng Jihan shook his head in confusion: "I don't have this skill."
Cen Xun pondered for a moment: "Then let's talk about something else? For example, what exactly is the nightmare system?"
