The two set out again, Cheng Shi and Zhen Xin walked side by side, with their heads down and no words spoken.
Zhen Xin knew the story of Mi Lao Zhang from somewhere, and didn't seem to be averse to sharing it, but the question was, should she know about it?
It seems unethical to dig into someone's past without their consent.
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi did not hesitate for a second and said decisively:
"If you know what I'm talking about, why keep it a secret?
Are you planning to trade something with me like the Dragon King?"
Zhen Xin was not surprised by Cheng Shi's "greed". She glanced at him and said with a smile:
"If you know any other stories, I wouldn't mind exchanging them with you.
But if your leverage is your story...it's worthless, and I know that."
“…”
Having his memory stolen was the first loss Cheng Shi suffered at the entrance of the peak game. Although he finally exposed the other party's identity with the help of Zui Ge, which was considered a relief, he really didn't gain anything.
Zhen Xin brought up the old matter again, obviously wanting to use the story of Lao Zhang as compensation.
Cheng Shi didn't care and listened attentively.
Zhen Xin smiled and said, "Have you never had even the slightest doubt about Lao Zhang?"
"What doubts?"
"Given his steadiness, composure, knowledge, and demeanor... not even the work clothes, I'm talking about that aura that's very much like Truth. He's clearly well-educated. Why would he choose to be a security guard?"
"?"
Cheng Shi was stunned. He had never thought about it in this way.
But what's wrong with security guards? They're in a legitimate job and don't steal or rob. They can even prevent theft and robbery. What's wrong with that?
Although no one would steal in the cemetery.
He scoffed, thinking Zhen Xin was discriminating against him professionally: "Everyone has their own choices, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
Zhen Xin nodded:
“Indeed, everyone has their own choice.
I'm not disparaging a profession, but rather questioning an issue that clearly goes against common sense.
[Death] serves as a protective color, making many players stay away from the gravekeeper. However, once people are no longer afraid of [Death], or even lift the curtain of death, and look at this [Death] God's Chosen One again, they will find a different...gravekeeper.
His father is an outstanding young forensic doctor, and his mother is an authoritative security expert. How could such an outstanding family raise an ordinary child? Lao Zhang was once a top university student with high hopes... "
"?"
Did Lao Zhang betray the revolution?
Is it such a good reincarnation?
But the better his rebirth, the less he should be like this now. Cheng Shi knew the twists and turns of fate very well. He blinked, said nothing, and continued to listen.
“But he dropped out of school.
In the year he was about to graduate, he chose to drop out of school and work as a security guard in the cemetery. No wonder his colleagues were always sarcastic to him.
When a person suddenly finds himself in a place where he doesn't belong, rumors will spread.
But fortunately, the gravekeeper is determined and doesn’t care about it.”
Speaking of this, Zhen Xin also sighed a little. She understood cold eyes and the ways of the world best, and knew that the gravekeepers must have had a hard time during that time.
"Why?" Cheng Shi seemed to have guessed, but he wasn't sure.
Zhen Xin restrained her smile and showed a hint of respect.
"Because his parents are buried in that cemetery."
“…”
really.
"They are excellent, but unfortunately they work too hard, always wanting to see more in their limited lives. The more they want to see, the more they do. Overexerting themselves will only make their limited lives even more limited..."
They fell in the same year, even the same month, and what happened next is the answer to my doubts.
So Mi Lao Zhang's desire to live forever was probably his last act of "rebellion" against his parents.
This may be the reason why the God of Fun took a fancy to him.
He loves to rebel, doesn't He?"
“…”
Cheng Shi was silent.
He remembered what Mi Lao Zhang had said to him, "The longer you live, the more you see." He had always thought that Mi Lao Zhang cared about the first half of the sentence, but he didn't expect that the second half was equally important.
Is he doing this to commemorate his parents?
So what does it mean that he likes to bury people so much?
Is he eager to "burn" every bit of this world to his parents to open their eyes?
Tsk, you know what, he is quite filial.
Everyone has their own misfortunes. This is a truth of the world that Cheng Shi had long understood. He did not feel offended by learning about Mi Lao Zhang's past. He just raised an eyebrow and stared at Zhen Xin, as if he had realized something:
"Did you hear that from the Dragon King?
This Li Jingming keeps saying he respects the clown's personal memory, but then he turns around and sells out Old Zhang?
Zhen Xin smiled but said nothing, neither admitting nor denying.
Cheng Shi said seriously:
"No, I have to teach him a lesson.
If he doesn't tell me something else, I'll tell everyone about his leaks and make him die of shame!"
“…”
Zhen Xin rolled her eyes at Cheng Shi, and stopped talking about this topic.
They had already arrived in front of the theater, and not far ahead in the crowd, Zhang Jizu was standing quietly, watching the performance silently.
Noticing the movement behind him, he turned around and looked at the two people, surprised that they arrived so quickly.
The two walked closer and watched the performance on the stage. Cheng Shi suddenly thought of Lao Jia and didn't know what to say for a moment. Zhen Xin, on the other hand, didn't react much to "parents" and asked with a smile:
