Dingling——

Fu Tianhe kicked the iron hook so hard that it slid a long way along the ground. The man turned over with difficulty, enduring the pain, and tried to crawl over using his hands and feet to pick up his weapon, but was stepped heavily on the back again.

Fu Tianhe grabbed his shoulders with both hands, rolled up his sleeves and exposed his arms, which were suddenly tensed. The lines on his arms even lifted up the clothes, and he turned the nearly 200-pound man over!

Then he punched him in the fat face.

The sound of punches hitting flesh was quite brutal. The man screamed and tried to protect his head and face. This time his chest and abdomen were left exposed, and he was hit by a powerful knee strike from Fu Tianhe, causing him to vomit out a mouthful of sour water.

Even so, he was still cursing, unwilling to give in: "Fuck you——"

Fu Tianhe stepped on his neck, strangling all sounds in his throat.

The world is quiet.

Fu Tianhe was measured in his actions after all.

He just wanted to teach this guy a lesson, he didn't want to beat him to death, and he was also afraid that if he was too harsh it would scare Chen Ci.

It's okay to have a dirty mouth, there are too many people in the dungeon whose mouths are dirtier than a cesspool, but he can't stand it when someone uses dirty words against September.

The man lay on his back on the ground, gasping for breath, his hands frantically protecting his head and face, and curling up his body as much as possible to avoid another heavy blow to his abdomen.

Similar fights have long been common in garbage dumps. There are too few good things and too many people scavenging. Everyone wants to put everything they see into their pockets, so verbal abuse and fighting have become commonplace.

As a young and strong Alpha, it is hard for anyone to beat Fu Tianhe, but he rarely argues with others. First, Fu Tianhe is not a troublemaker, and second, he has the skills to turn trash into treasure, so he doesn't care much about those items that have little modification value.

But this doesn't mean he is easy to bully, especially in front of Chen Ci.

Fu Tianhe flexed his fists and stood up. He stared coldly at the man groaning in pain for a few seconds, then picked up the Samuelton component set that was scattered on the side.

"Walk."

During this time, Chen Ci, who had been moving silently step by step and was almost out of sight, stepped forward upon hearing this and returned to Fu Tianhe's side.

He glanced at the man who was still squirming on the ground, and his mental power quietly spread to the place where the iron hook fell.

Under the invisible control, the iron hook, which was as thick as two fingers, began to curl from the end. In just a dozen seconds, it was bent into a roll of mosquito coils, preventing the man from suddenly jumping up and grabbing the iron hook to hurt people.

Fu Tianhe put the sack on his shoulder, without even looking at the man who was struggling and unable to get up, and took Chen Ci back.

Alpha was no longer as cheerful as usual and was completely silent. The lines of his cheeks were tense due to his back teeth clenching, and his brows were wrinkled and hadn't relaxed yet.

Chen Ci looked at his expression, a little confused.

Why did Fu Tianhe suddenly get angry? He had been planning to discuss this with that person in a friendly manner.

Moreover, Fu Tianhe really wanted to get that parts set, but in the end, he acted as if it didn't matter whether he had it or not.

Chen Ci tilted his head and observed for a while, then asked softly, "Are you angry?"

Fu Tianhe didn't look at him, only his dark eyes were fixed on Chen Ci: "Yeah, a little bit."

Chen Ci: "Because he wants to steal your things?"

Fu Tianhe was silent for a moment: "Yeah."

Chen Ci seemed to be thinking about something, but Fu Tianhe had already got the component set back, so why was he still angry?

Should he persuade Fu Tianhe?

"Don't be angry." Chen Ci said sincerely from the bottom of his heart, "It would be bad if you get so angry that you die."

Fu Tianhe choked.

He finally looked at the boy, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and corrected him seriously: "You can put it another way, such as: getting angry hurts your body."

Chen Ci immediately changed his tone: "Don't be angry. Being angry is harmful to your health."

It cannot be said that Chen Ci is completely ignorant of the ways of the world, but at least he knows very little.

There is a kind of dullness on the boy's body that is difficult to detect, as if there is a layer of transparent film wrapped around him. All external stimuli are weakened to an extremely slight level before he can perceive them.

But Chen Ci is so smart.

For the first time, Fu Tianhe realized so clearly that a person's IQ and EQ are two completely unrelated things.

But after being treated like this by Chen Ci, the depression in his heart suddenly eased a lot.

I was even a little glad that Chen Ci didn't understand why he was angry.

The two returned to Aipeng, and Fu Tianhe placed the Samuelton component assembly on the table of the machine tool. He tidied it up a bit and began to disassemble it while explaining it to Chen Ci.

Chen Ci listened carefully, and after more than ten minutes, he suddenly asked, "Will that person continue to cause trouble for you?"

"What?" Fu Tianhe was stunned for a moment, then realized that Chen Ci was talking about the man who competed with him for the component set, and said disdainfully, "It's okay, even if he comes to cause trouble, he will definitely not get any good results in my hands."

Chen Ci: "He has weapons."

Although Fu Tianhe is very strong, he had just been fighting with bare hands. If that person had a sharp iron hook or launched a sneak attack, it is hard to say who will be lying on the ground in the end.

"I have a weapon, too." Fu Tianhe leaned over and took a heavy wrench from his tool bag, showing it to Chen Ci. "Don't worry, you've never seen me cut someone's head open."

Chen Ci nodded and said no more. It was enough for Fu Tianhe to know the answer.

Fu Tianhe put the wrench aside and was about to continue teaching Chen Ci. He held the disassembled parts in his hand and pondered for a moment with a serious face.

Then he turned around and asked Chen Ci: "Where were we talking about just now?"

Chen Ci returned home.

He quietly locked the door and turned on the light in the entrance hall.

Jiang Dai was already asleep with his bedroom door closed. Ever since Chen Ci came back from this exchange, he no longer waited for the boy to return home safely before going to rest every day.

Chen Ci walked into the bedroom, took off the small cross-body bag and placed it on the table.

He took off his hat and mask, took out some clean clothes, and went to take a shower.

After washing his whole body and making sure there was no odor left, Chen Ci dried his hair, cleaned the bathroom, and returned to the bedroom.

He closed the door and sat down on the edge of the bed, finally able to pack the things in his small backpack.

First of all, there were the newly made parts today. Their precision was not yet high enough to be sold on the black market, so Fu Tianhe asked Chen Ci to put them away as a souvenir.

Chen Ci put the parts into a special small box. Unlike Chen Nian who liked to put things randomly, Chen Ci kept everything very neatly organized.

Then there was the book Fu Tianhe gave him.

The book had been recently repaired, and the cover was re-pasted with hard kraft paper, but the inner pages were still fragile. Chen Ci carefully turned to the first page. There was a paragraph written on the blank title page, but the handwriting had long since become blurred.

Chen Ci turned on the desk lamp, placed the book under the light, and carefully adjusted the angle.

The handwriting is slightly clearer.

"Swimming wholeheartedly in the ocean of knowledge, the restless soul will be liberated. We cannot eliminate pain, nor do we know when the end will come, but we can spend every day happily in the ashes of destruction."

——Give me the Milky Way.

The beautiful handwriting should belong to a woman, is it a mother or a sister?

Chen Ci is more concerned about another point.

The passage was written in cursive English, and he subconsciously looked at the word ashes, which means "ashes".

The pinholes on the inside of my arm that had long since disappeared were aching again.

Chen Ci stopped making groundless guesses. He turned to the next page and began to read the contents of the book.

Fu Tianhe must have been quite young when he got this book. He marked the key points in the book with shaky straight lines, and the notes in the blank spaces were written crookedly. Chen Ci even saw a rather abstract cat in the gap between the pages.

He flipped through two pages and felt a little sleepy, so he put the book away, placed it on the bedside table, covered himself with the quilt and lay down.

Then Chen Ci remembered that he had forgotten to write a diary.

He turned on the terminal and recorded what happened today as quickly as possible, adding a few photos he took in the hospital and the garbage dump.

Chen Nian sent him a message three hours ago, saying that he had spent the whole day wandering around the palace, discovered many interesting places, and left some "treasures". The treasure map was written in his diary, and when Chen Ci returns, he will definitely go and see it.

Chen Ci replied "OK".

The night deepened and there was no more sound of dripping water outside the window.

The room was exceptionally quiet. Chen Ci did not wear earplugs tonight. He sank into the soft pillow, and for some reason he felt an unprecedented peace of mind.

He closed his eyes.

"...Okay, Your Highness, let's play a little game, okay?"

I couldn't see the face of the person in the white coat opposite me, but his gentle voice sounded familiar.

Chen Ci hears this voice every month. The female Beta researcher has appeared in his life many years ago.

She is the mother of two children, but not his mother.

A card was displayed in front of him, with strange ink stains spread across the white paper. The color was a bit disgusting, smudged into strange shapes.

"Your Highness, what did you see? Or what can you think of?"

He lowered his head and saw his shoes hanging in the air. He was not tall enough and his feet could not touch the ground when he sat on the chair.

After a few seconds, he raised his head again and stared at the ink drawing.

"The moon," Chen Ci heard his younger self say, "The moon is at the bottom of the ocean, torn in two, bleeding, with broken bones, stirring the seawater into borscht. Maybe add some broccoli and a bicycle to it, and even the mantis shrimp in Barcelona will say it's delicious."

Did he answer like this back then? How did the researchers react?

Chen Ci didn't remember, but he had done similar tests many times and soon got bored. The researchers also noticed this and stopped showing him those strange pictures.

The white laboratory seemed to always be so bright. Later, when Chen Ci grew up, he learned that the test was called the "Rorschach Inkblot Test" and was used to judge the personality of the subject.

What can be judged from a few pictures? Chen Ci didn't believe it. If he had known earlier, he should have given a more outrageous answer.

The night passed quickly.

Chen Ci didn't wear earplugs and was woken up by the noise outside. People were going out to work in twos and threes.

Jiang Dai seemed to have gotten up and was cleaning.

It just so happened that he was almost asleep, so Chen Ci lay down for two minutes, took off his eye mask and placed it under the pillow, then got up.

He put on his clothes, came to the living room, and said to Jiang Dai, who was staggering to tidy up the table, "Uncle Jiang, let's go to the hospital today."

Jiang Dai was a little surprised, but he still nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Chen Ci: "I can't go to a regular hospital, so my friend recommended a place that I think is pretty good."

Jiang Dai: "Okay, I'll go change my clothes."

Chen Ci stood in the living room, waiting for Jiang Dai to change her clothes, and suddenly he didn't know what to do.

He lowered his head and sent a message to Chen Nian, telling his brother that he was going to take Jiang Dai to see a doctor.
