Chapter 40: Faceless Man, you have to make all those thousands of Jiang Huai pay attention...
It turns out Jiang Huai has a younger sister.
But what is more terrifying than "Jiang Huai has a sister" is that his sister seems to have passed away.
Li Ming lay in his sleeping bag with a clear mind, looking extremely confused. If he asked Jiang Huai right now, "Is your sister missing or dead?", would he be given the cold shoulder by Jiang Huai?
Ahhh——
He should have asked it right then and there instead of dwelling on it before going to bed!
Li Ming held his head in pain, and kept telling himself: Calm down, Li Ming. Let's see what the forum says. The forum should stop quarreling now.
Li Ming had the opportunity to visit the comic forum on the day they parted ways in the dormitory, but he found that the forum readers were more concerned about the "plot debate" than celebrating the successful completion of the college copy.
Li Ming: ...嘤.
After that, he was never "summoned" by the pure white space again. Li Ming guessed that it was because of the plot content. The college copy could have four or five chapters of comic plots in one day, and there were not so many plots to write during the time they were driving.
Regarding this——
He was truly grateful to the Pure White Space for not pulling him in one word at a time.
"But now I can't sleep because I'm too entangled..." Li Ming looked up at the dark ceiling in a daze, but not long after, he sat up with an expressionless face.
I can't sleep anyway, so I might as well go to the bathroom.
Li Ming sighed and silently crawled out of his sleeping bag. He put on his slippers, picked up the flashlight, and staggered towards the toilet.
The sound of cotton slippers stepping on the carpet is very light.
When Li Ming passed by the living room, he subconsciously glanced at the room where Jiang Huai was. Jiang Huai had been driving nervously all the way today, and fell asleep as soon as he arrived.
For fear of disturbing him, Li Ming had to choose to sleep in another room.
Facts have proven that his decision was correct. But if Jiang Huai asks him tomorrow why he is still awake at 3 a.m., Li Ming decides to push all the questions back to Jiang Huai.
It's all Jiang Huai's fault for 'saying something but not finishing it'.
Li Ming sighed in annoyance and continued walking towards his destination. After a whole day of heavy rain, the night sky looked extremely clear.
He could see quite a few stars coming out.
"Strange..." Li Ming muttered to himself. He vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but more confusion only flashed through his mind. Li Ming wanted to sleep very much, but he couldn't sleep.
The reason is still that JAC is to blame.
When Li Ming finished using the toilet, he finally felt sleepy. He held the lantern and yawned slowly: It seems I can fall asleep now.
The two are now in the villa area of Spring City.
When Li Ming and his companions drove here, he found that the situation in the villa area seemed to have been through a sudden raid. But it was more of an emergency retreat than a raid.
There are many traces of vehicles hastily passing by on the asphalt road and green belts.
Because the driver was extremely anxious, the poor green lawns that were washed by the heavy rain had no time to recover before they were ruthlessly crushed by the tires, roots and mud all over.
"It seems that the government has notified them to retreat." Jiang Huai breathed a sigh of relief after witnessing this scene, "But I don't know where they will retreat to."
"If we follow the tire tracks, can we find T?" Li Ming asked curiously.
Jiang Huai shook his head regretfully and said, "It rained too hard. The mud marks will be washed away by the rain. We only noticed this place because the vegetation was severely damaged."
Li Ming nodded with a vague understanding.
He frowned as he recalled what happened on the day of the disaster, and thought strangely: Things developed so quickly at that time, how could the country provide a place for people to evacuate immediately?
Do they know what's going to happen next?
Li Ming silently took out the phone from his pocket. The news on his phone was still on the day of the disaster 22 days ago. He had downloaded the news for the past two weeks, so he could review it now.
He quickly flipped through the pages, and one grim news headline after another passed by his eyes, until finally a report that might be related to the 'Evacuation of Spring City' appeared in the headlines.
Li Ming blinked in confusion. "Jiang Huai, an official report 25 days ago said that nuclear radiation contamination was detected in Chuncheng, and residents within the contaminated area were required to stay away from the area."
After saying this, Li Ming tilted his head and said strangely, "It doesn't seem to be what we imagined."
"25 days ago?" Jiang Huai repeated in surprise.
"right."
"But will there be nuclear pollution in Chuncheng?" Jiang Huai wondered to himself, "Nuclear pollution shouldn't happen in residential areas, right?"
"It is said that a researcher accidentally brought home undecayed nuclear waste."
Li Ming read the report word for word, but then he raised his eyebrows and complained, "This news is too fake. How can nuclear waste be taken out of the institute so easily?"
"Can you show it to me, Li Ming?" Jiang Huai said with a wry smile.
"Give."
After hearing this, Li Ming casually handed the phone to the other party. Then he looked at Jiang Huai with an increasingly furrowed brow and said, "Strange, this is really news released by the official media."
“That might be a real problem.”
Jiang Huai couldn't help but sigh after knowing the truth: "I just don't know what happened."
Li Ming shrugged after hearing this:
It seems that Jiang Huai also doesn't believe that nuclear pollution is real. But why use "nuclear pollution" as a cover? Is there something more terrifying than "nuclear pollution"?
"But if it was 25 days ago..." Li Ming murmured at the time, "it was just a few days before the disaster..."
He didn't know whether this incident was related to the disaster.
Because the plot of the previous work did not involve Chuncheng, or Li Ming did not see the relevant plot in this regard, or he had seen it but it was blocked by the pure white space.
This forum is really useless.
Li Ming couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he still vaguely felt a trace of connection.
“Ha~”
Li Ming, in his pajamas, staggered on his way back to his room. He became increasingly sleepy, and completely fell into a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.
"I'm so sleepy..." Li Ming muttered casually.
However, just as he passed the living room and was about to return to the room with the sleeping bag, Li Ming heard a vague male voice coming from outside the door: "Li Ming, are you there?"
"Jiang Huai?" Li Ming was suddenly stunned.
His eyes could not help but wander around the security door and the room where Jiang Huai was supposed to sleep. He wondered: Why did Jiang Huai go outside? Was there something that Jiang Huai had to go outside for?
"Can you help me open the door?" Jiang Huai asked outside the door.
Li Ming answered stupidly: "I'll be there right away."
His mind was full of mud at this time, and he couldn't figure out the current situation. Li Ming had no choice but to walk towards the door and casually asked: "Why did you suddenly run outside?"
"I'm awake and can't sleep." Jiang Huai answered briefly.
Woke up at three in the morning and couldn't fall asleep? Li Ming tilted his head in surprise. His left hand, which was about to open the door, suddenly stopped in mid-air, and his eyes could not help but look again at the dark room where Jiang Huai should be.
Something feels wrong.
Li Ming stood less than a few meters away from the security door, thinking with his head down.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Huai asked curiously outside the door.
He must have asked because he heard the noise in the room suddenly stop.
"Nothing." Li Ming shook his head slowly.
Before going to bed, they specially blocked the channels that were easy to enter the villa, and now the room whose glass was broken by Jiang Huai was definitely inaccessible.
But he remembered that there should be other ways to get in, right? Is Jiang Huai the kind of person who would wait in front of the door to open?
Li Ming carefully aimed his pupils at the cat's eyes.
But faster than his movements was the voice coming from behind him: "Li Ming, what happened?"
Jiang Huai, who was awakened by the noise in the living room, leaned sleepily against the door frame of the room he should be in, and asked listlessly: "If you don't want to sleep, how about I drive tomorrow?"
Li Ming had no expression on his face: "..."
Li Ming suddenly showed a sad expression: "I'm afraid we won't be able to leave Chuncheng tomorrow."

[“Tattatt…”]
[Shh, there's a knock on the door, but please don't open it. ]
"It's terrible. I can't sleep anymore."
Li Ming hugged himself in fear. He did not choose to open the door, but after seeing the panel prompt of 'Eye of Truth', he quickly dragged his sleeping bag and ran to sleep with Jiang Huai.
They were once again drawn into the realm of mist.
Jiang Huai was stunned at the time, and asked stupidly: "Do you want me to go out and kill some first?"
"Then they will collect more information about you, and then they will have a reason to kick the door down next time." Li Ming answered without thinking.
Jiang Huai: “…seems to be true.”
It's something he would do.
"From today on, don't fight and kill at every turn." Li Ming warned seriously, "Think about what would happen if you beat me to death?"
Jiang Huai hesitated after hearing this and said, "It seems that there will be this problem."
"Especially since you might meet six or seven Li Mings later. If you choose to kill them all, what if I'm inside?" Li Ming complained bitterly.
Jiang Huai was silent: "..."
"It seems that there will be this problem..." Jiang Huai's voice became weaker and weaker. "I will definitely pay attention to it."
"It's no use for you to pay attention. You have to let those thousands and thousands of Jiang Huai notice it! You have to let them know that you are a Jiang Huai who knows how to coexist peacefully and treat others kindly!"
Jiang Huai: “…”
Jiang Huai said with difficulty: "I'll try my best."
