Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Monsters who reached a consensus
"What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Shizao's voice rang out in the evening breeze.
The mountaintop garden is peaceful and warm in the twilight. In the distance, the lights of Lingcheng are gradually lighting up as the sky changes.
At this moment, the man sitting on the left side of the bench had a deep look in his eyes. He could feel the concerned gaze of the young man next to him.
A pure, straightforward gaze...
But when he thought about who these concerns were given to, Wen Zhi couldn't help feeling a little jealous... But after that, he kept having secret delusions that the one who cared about him was himself, him.
Wen Zhi could not show all of this.
He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, quickly adjusted himself, and when he looked up again, he was "Wen Qianchuan".
"By the way, Zao Zao." Wen Zhi's voice was soft, his eyes gentle. He looked at Jiang Shi Zao beside him, "I've rethought your question."
Jiang Shizao was stunned when he heard this.
"About the world outside the border you mentioned." Wen Zhi spoke slowly.
Jiang Shizao's fingers suddenly clenched. He nervously observed Wen Qianchuan's condition and immediately said, "Brother, this question is actually not very important..."
I was originally worried that the abnormality that just happened to Wen Qianchuan was related to their proximity to the border.
If this is really the reason, then perhaps discussing this topic would also be abnormal.
Jiang Shizao was worried that Wen Qianchuan would be in danger if he continued thinking about it.
But at this moment, Wen Qianchuan looked as if he had been thinking for a long time, as if he had done some serious thinking before speaking: "Zhao Zao, if, I mean hypothetically, if there is a better world outside the border... I hope you can see it."
The evening wind suddenly became bitter at this moment.
Hearing this, Jiang Shi opened his mouth and was unable to recover from this sudden turn of events for a while.
What's wrong with you, brother?
After Wen Qianchuan brought up this topic again, Jiang Shi had been paying attention to Wen Qianchuan's situation, fearing that another accident would happen.
After waiting for a long time, Jiang Shizao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing unusual with the people around him.
He thought maybe this was a topic worth talking about.
But didn’t my brother say before that it would be nice to live here forever?
Did Wen Qianchuan notice anything? By the way, I've already entered that infinite game space with him, so he must be aware of something.
"What about you, brother? Don't you want to leave Lingcheng?" Jiang Shizao asked cautiously, his voice so soft that it could almost be blown away by the wind.
"I can't leave Bell City."
Wen Zhi, who had been waiting for Jiang Shizao's question, raised the corner of his lips in an imperceptible arc.
Now is the time to give up those unrealistic fantasies and pity I had for Wen Qianchuan...
His Zao Zao was too soft-hearted, so he was deceived by these things in Lingcheng.
Wen Zhi's expression remained gentle, his tone slightly altered. "I've always lived and worked here. I love my job and have no intention of leaving."
"Is that so..." Jiang Shizao nodded slowly, remembering the architectural models and designs he had seen in Wen Qianchuan's office.
My brother is indeed a person who loves his work.
Come to think of it...
Jiang Shizao lowered his eyes slightly.
But he thought that if he successfully returned to his original world, he would never see Wen Qianchuan again.
After all, in his world, "Bell City" is a book...
Thinking of this, Jiang Shizao suddenly felt a strange sensation in his chest. It was that feeling again. Numbness. And a little sore.
Sensing Jiang Shizao's low mood, Wen Zhi's body stiffened instantly.
"Zao Zao..." Wen Zhi spoke with difficulty. He raised his right hand, wanting to comfort the people around him, wanting Jiang Shizao not to be sad for the people in Lingcheng.
He was still waiting for him to wake up. Waiting for him to come back.
"elder brother?"
Jiang Shi was so sad that he was distracted for three seconds. When he turned around, he found that Wen Qianchuan seemed to have low blood sugar again!
The person who was originally sitting on the right side of the bench instantly moved to the side of the person on the left. Jiang Shizao frantically pressed himself against Wen Qianchuan: "Brother, are you okay?"
The next second his hand was held by the person next to him.
When Wen Qianchuan looked up again, his eyes had regained clarity. He looked at Jiang Shizao and gave him a smile that was familiar to Jiang Shizao.
"I'm fine." Wen Qianchuan said.
The moment he regained control of his body, Wen Qianchuan grabbed Jiang Shizao's hand.
Recalling what someone had just said to the people around him through his mouth, Wen Qianchuan sneered in his heart, but his expression became more gentle.
"Morning."
He knew exactly what Wen Zhi was planning. He wanted Zao Zao to realize the gulf between them. But Wen Zhi seemed to have forgotten that Zao Zao was in Lingcheng.
The location of the gap has changed.
Looking at the person in front of him, Wen Qianchuan raised his hand happily and put his arm around Jiang Shizao's shoulders.
Zao Zao is no longer... invisible and intangible.
"elder brother?"
"Morning, where do you want to go?"
"Go..." Jiang Shizao subconsciously looked ahead, and the entire Lingcheng seemed to have lights on.
Now that we know the situation at the border of Lingcheng, it looks like a closed city, a closed space...
As for the system...
The last time the system spoke to him after he transmigrated into the book was yesterday. While he was participating in a school club activity, the system had him play games, saying that it would help him return to the real world.
Not long after that, Jiang Shi had already triggered the infinite flow system and entered that infinite copy...
Jiang Shi had long suspected that the game the book-traveling system allowed him to play was actually a copy in the infinite game space that appeared later.
But what is puzzling and even a little crazy is that now his book-traveling system and infinite flow system seem to have malfunctioned!
Jiang Shizao had no idea who to ask or where to go to verify it.
Finally, the young man sitting on the bench looked at Wen Qianchuan beside him. The two were still very close at the moment, but Jiang Shizao seemed to have gotten used to it.
Two words burst out of his mouth: "Bookstore?"
"Brother, the bookstore you mentioned yesterday." Jiang Shizao added.
There is no other way. Now we can only try our best to maintain the status quo and continue to survive based on the intelligence we have collected.
Since he already knew that the dungeons in that infinite game space were likely composed of novels from the Abyss, or novels that existed in Bell City... he had to finish reading all those novels as soon as possible!
"Okay, I'll accompany you." Wen Qianchuan said and patted Jiang Shizao's shoulder.
"Brother, you should read more novels later." Jiang Shizao said, this is very important!
Jiang Shizao decided that when he got to the bookstore, he would rely on his extraordinary intuition to pick out a few books for Wen Qianchuan.
"...Okay." Wen Qianchuan rubbed his nose and smiled.
By the time the two returned to the newly opened bookstore next to Wen Qianchuan's company, it had already become completely dark.
But the lights on the west bank of Lingcheng are always bright.
The bookstore is a five-story building with a beautiful and modern geometric exterior design, incorporating classical elements into the details. The glass curtain walls sparkle in the night.
"It's so beautiful..." Jiang Shi had already sighed sincerely while standing outside.
Once inside, the dazzling array of books is even more apparent. The entire space is well-organized, with silver-white bookshelves winding like a river. At this time of day, the warm lighting seems to give each book a golden edge.
Soon Jiang Shi discovered that each floor of this bookstore was designed in a different style according to the classification of books.
Along the way, Wen Qianchuan led Jiang Shizao, who was looking around, to the third-floor section where suspense and supernatural novels were stored.
They chose a seat by the window.
Although it is next to the window, the reading environment here is designed to be very quiet. Each reading area is like an elegant private reading space, and only the side connected to the aisle is open.
"Brother, I'm going to choose some books!" Jiang Shizao said after putting down his backpack.
It can be seen that he is someone who likes to go to bookstores.
"Okay, you go and choose first, I'll be there in a while." Wen Qianchuan said with a smile.
"Okay, brother." Jiang Shizao glanced at the mobile phone Wen Qianchuan took out and showed that he understood.
Although survival is important, a brother who loves work must still work.
Jiang Shizao thought that Wen Qianchuan had work matters to deal with.
The corners of Wen Qianchuan's smiling lips froze for a moment.
After watching the boy's back turn into the book area, the man sitting by the window put down his phone, and the expression on his face changed in an instant.
After removing the disguised elegance and gentleness, this person looks both cold and a little evil.
Soon, in Wen Qianchuan's vision, blackness spread around him like sea water.
If Jiang Shizao looked back at this moment, he would see Wen Qianchuan sitting by the window in deep thought.
But in reality...
As the darkness spread, a sneer sounded in this space that seemed to be separated from the outside world.
The person laughing was not Wen Qianchuan, but Wen Qianchuan felt annoyed when he heard the voice.
Wen Helin said: "You skipped class early."
In the space connected by black, Wen Helin, who was standing on the rooftop of the school at the moment, was also annoyed when looking at the outline of Wen Qianchuan in the void.
The white coat rustled in the night wind. The man took off his gold-rimmed glasses.
At this time, Wen Qianchuan said: "First, use your brain to think about what happened before." The brain is a good thing. If you can't use it flexibly, it's better...
"What is it?" Wen Helin asked knowingly. Thinking about what the man opposite him had done to Zao Zao...
The people on the rooftop cracked their knuckles.
Wen Helin sneered.
"You thought I didn't know what you did to lure me so early today?"
Speaking of this, Wen Qianchuan felt a little proud in his heart, but he restrained his joy and said slowly: "Zao Zao is now in Lingcheng. After all the hard work... he is ours."
Wen Qianchuan, who reluctantly changed his words to "we," snorted inwardly. If it weren't for the need to deal with 001 first, there's no telling what he would have said.
"Haha." Wen Helin's smile did not reach his eyes.
As for the "001" mentioned by Wen Qianchuan.
"I really didn't expect him to have such ability." When Wen Helin mentioned this person, his eyes became sharp, but...
"You're the one being controlled." Wen Helin glanced at Wen Qianchuan and sneered again, "Sure enough, someone who can't even pass the four-wheeled vehicle driver's license test... is really not that good."
Hearing this sarcastic voice, Wen Qianchuan's temples jumped twice. He smiled: "Have you forgotten what you did to Zao Zao in school?"
"What's the matter?" Wen Helin raised his hand and touched his chin, "These are all things that are beneficial to Zao Zao..." After all, in Zao Zao's heart, he is a considerate school doctor.
Wen Qianchuan: "Haha."
Now that the conversation had come to this, Wen Helin changed the subject: "Why don't you tell me what the guy in the convenience store did?"
As soon as the words came out, almost instantly, all beings in the darkness fell silent.
That thing in the South Shore convenience store...
Invading Zao Zao's dreams, and entangling Zao Zao so tightly in the dreams...
In the bookstore, Wen Qianchuan's eyes darkened instantly. Because... he also wanted to.
I want to be closely entangled with Zao Zao.
Never separate again...
"I actually let him lick the base of the tentacle early on..."
...I really want to chop it down.
Each gaze was dark and turbulent.
In this dark dimension that ordinary people cannot perceive, although there are only two people talking at the moment, there seem to be many beings lurking in the darkness, listening quietly, and greedily coveting the person they are all thinking about.
The eyes in the shadows stared at the figure between the bookshelves who was still unaware of everything.
——Jiang Shizao’s figure.
In an instant, the souls in the darkness surged with the same desire:
Possess him.
Keep him forever...
"You don't want 001 to enter Bell City, do you?"
"As long as 001 is dealt with... I could have stayed here permanently long ago."
Whoever can own Zao Zao by then will depend on their own ability.
At this moment, the monsters in the darkness seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.
"That's right." Just as the darkness was about to recede like a tide, Wen Qianchuan, who was sitting by the bookstore window, spoke again, his gaze falling on Wen Helin across the distance.
"That transfer student... since he's still in school, keep a close eye on him."
They were talking about Wen Xu.
"That soul had been wandering in the space outside of Bell City before, and entered Bell City at this critical juncture..."
God knows what this thing is.
If the other party is connected to 001, it will make things even more troublesome.
Wen Qianchuan didn't want to give 001 any more chances. The best fate for this person was to die outside.
Moreover, Wen Xu was just a soul fragment that had just arrived in Lingcheng. Why should he compete with them for early time?
In the darkness, Wen Helin snorted and said with a cold face, "I'll deal with him."
