Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 309 Accident
Just as Chen Ming and Cheng Xinghai left school.

In the corner of the school, in a building with the name Computer Room Building on the outside.

Cheng Xinghe just got up from the simulation device subsystem equipped by the school.

He pushed open the door of the small room where the simulation equipment was placed with a somewhat unpleasant look on his face.

Someone just happened to push the door open and go out.

He is someone about the same age as Cheng Xinghe.

He said to Cheng Xinghe: "Six to five, come back next time."

Although Cheng Xinghe's face looked a little ugly, he still managed to smile, nodded politely, and then turned around to leave.

It was close to noon local time and he had to take a rest.

However, as soon as he turned his head, a tall figure appeared in front of him.

He didn't want to socialize with him, but trouble would always come.

But his first reaction was not anger, but why did Liao Hongsheng know about this? Why did you say this in public at this time?

Therefore, although in the nearby corridor only the people who had just fought against Cheng Xinghe stopped to watch the show, there should already be many people paying attention here.

Of course, Liao Hongsheng knew this and could barely understand it. After all, Liao Hongsheng had been targeting him a long time ago. It was normal to learn some of his dark history from his elders.

This man's name was Liao Hongsheng, and Cheng Xinghe was extremely impressed by him.

The vast majority of people generally do not frequently enter deep consciousness dives when using simulation devices.

Cheng Xinghe is not a fool.

Although there was music playing in Cheng Xinghe's headphones, it did not completely block out all other sounds. Of course, he could still hear Liao Hongsheng's remark.

However, it didn't happen. Liao Hongsheng's attitude even became more and more serious. Instead, he started to use Cheng Xinghe's defeat in front of others to say that Cheng Xinghe's previous victory in the competition was bad luck.

Then he was laughed at for a long time by Cheng Xinghai, who had long known that behind Liao Hongsheng was someone from a faction that was in conflict with the Baiquan faction.

He was stopped.

At that time, Cheng Xinghe thought that Liao Hongsheng's attitude would change for the better.

He took out a pair of headphones from his pocket and put them into his ears.

But if Liao Hongsheng brought this matter up at this moment, something was wrong.

Liao Hongsheng started fighting with him at that time and often asked him to play simulated battles.

Every time we meet, he hears a bunch of completely unacceptable words, and his attitude is quite bad.

But the news at that time should not be known to other students.

This is indeed the case.

The two of them faced off in the final, and he won.

Although he had been stupid before and was arrested by Chen Ming.

After the news reached Cheng Xinghe's ears, he went to check what was going on.

His situation is different from everyone else's.

At the beginning, Cheng Xinghe thought that Liao Hongsheng just couldn't bear to see him winning the competition and wanted to find some opportunities to come back.

The floor he was on at this time was a floor dedicated to the sub-equipment of the simulation device.

So Cheng Xinghe’s choice at this time.

So he agreed to Liao Hongsheng's invitation several times in a row. Anyway, he would always lose when playing normally.

Just like the one who went out just now, he also took the initiative to come to play simulated battles.

Because he talks a lot of trash and loves to ridicule.

"?"

Cheng Xinghe frowned and raised his head slightly to look at the big man in front of him who was nearly two meters tall.

After that, Cheng Xinghe didn't bother to care about Liao Hongsheng.

"Don't leave in a hurry, Cheng Xinghe, do you have time to do it again?"

He turned the volume of the song playing on the terminal to the maximum, so that even Liao Hongsheng, who was several meters away, could hear it, and he turned sideways and walked around.

After all, the fact that he was captured involved other star fields, as well as Yu Hui and Chen Ming. It was impossible for ordinary students to know about this kind of thing and spread it casually.

In other words, people in the surrounding rooms who are performing ordinary simulations can hear what is going on outside.

It was impossible for Cheng Xinghe not to make mistakes, and he lost several times with Liao Hongsheng's captain.

Because when he was a freshman, he and Liao Hongsheng participated in a competition together.

What does Liao Hongsheng want to do?
Cheng Xinghe was not sure, but with Bai Quan's constant influence, he knew how to deal with it.

But Liao Hongsheng completely ignored this. When Cheng Xinghe walked past him, he shouted loudly: "I heard that you went to the edge star field some time ago and was captured by someone?"

But Cheng Xinghe didn't want to fight Liao Hongsheng.

Although Liao Hongsheng does have some ability, Cheng Xinghe can only be on par with him at most. Fighting with such a person is really helpful to improve himself, and Cheng Xinghe doesn't mind playing simulated battles with other people.

Cheng Xinghe took off his headphones as if he had been stabbed in a sore spot, and cursed in a low voice at Liao Hongsheng: "What the hell do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I just feel like you are falling behind more and more, and you don't even have the guts to challenge me again."

Cheng Xinghe sneered: "Then I suggest you find a fight with someone first and then come to me. You are a villain who likes to take advantage of others."

"Don't tell me, I did have a fight with someone just now, so you don't even dare to come?"

"Come."

Cheng Xinghe didn't waste any time, turned around, walked back to the room, and started the simulation equipment.

However, more than an hour later, Cheng Xinghe climbed out of the simulation equipment with an extremely dark face and opened the door.

After slamming the door open, he said to Liao Hongsheng outside: "The last one on your simulated battle record was the day before yesterday."

Cheng Xinghe himself had just fought with someone, and his mental state could be said to be exhausted.

But Liao Hongshengshen's state is different.

Of course, it wasn't easy for him to win in the end.

But at this time, his face was full of a mocking smile, and he said in an extremely deliberate tone: "Oh, maybe the equipment is broken, right? Haven't you ever learned that a soldier never tires of deceit?"

At this time, Cheng Xinghe seemed to be completely obsessed with Liao Hongsheng.

After all, he lost two games in a row, was ridiculed one after another, and was tricked by him with some tricks. It would be strange not to get ahead.

Cheng Xinghe also said something as he wished: "One more shot."

"Is my defeated general worthy of fighting me?"

As soon as Liao Hongsheng spoke, he saw the suppressed anger on Cheng Xinghe's face that was almost twisted.

However, he still hurriedly said before Cheng Xinghe was angry and ran away: "You can fight if you want. What should we bet on?"

"What are you gambling?"

"You win. I will bow and apologize to you in front of the entire school during morning exercises."

"You lost, then is it okay for you to write down your previous defeat and throw it on the school bulletin board? I don't know what happened specifically."

"can."

Cheng Xinghe decisively agreed.

Anyway, if I lose, I will just post the part I can tell about my fight with Chen Ming.

And Chen Ming is a level 5 psyker. When he lost to a current level 5 psyker, it was still the kind of defeat that was not considered a disastrous defeat. It was nothing, it was not embarrassing at all.

He immediately turned around and returned to the room behind him again.

But Liao Hongsheng suddenly said: "That's right."

Cheng Xinghe stopped, turned around and asked, "What?"

Liao Hongsheng looked like he was thinking about something: "How did you come back after being captured before?"

"Who did I hear from that you seem to have earned your life by selling your own sister to someone else?"

All the expressions on Cheng Xinghe's face disappeared instantly.

He didn't say anything, he just turned around and punched Liao Hongsheng.

Liao Hongsheng reacted and blocked it, but Cheng Xinghe didn't hold back at all.

Another punch hit him completely in the abdomen.

Liao Hongsheng still wanted to resist, but Cheng Xinghe's knee hit his lower abdomen.

When he was hunched over in pain.

Cheng Xinghe's third punch came from bottom to top and hit his chin.

The violent impact knocked Liao Hongsheng unconscious, and he fell to the ground, unconscious.

Cheng Xinghe kicked Liao Hongsheng again, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and cursed: "Idiot."

Although Liao Hongsheng was a head ahead of Cheng Xinghe in terms of height, Cheng Xinghe was actually better in fighting ability.

The muffled sound of fists hitting flesh in the corridor was all too familiar to the ears of the military students in other rooms, and a group of people were immediately attracted.

And closely followed was the teacher who got the news from the monitoring room.

Several teachers jumped out of nowhere and immediately took control of Cheng Xinghe, the only one still standing at the scene.

The surveillance video just now was quite clear. The verbal conflict turned into a physical conflict, and confinement was absolutely necessary.

Just after Cheng Xinghe was escorted away by two teachers.

Medical staff who arrived quickly also immediately rescued Liao Hongsheng on the ground.

However, Cheng Xinghe only punched him on the chin, causing him to be temporarily comatose.

Liao Hongsheng immediately climbed up with the help of others. He wiped the blood from his lip that had been bitten by his teeth and laughed disdainfully as he stared at Cheng Xinghe's back as he was being taken away.

The teacher who stayed to disperse the onlookers heard his voice and immediately pointed at him and said, "Follow me later and explain carefully what you are doing."

"understood."

Cheng Xinghe had already been taken out of the computer room building by the teacher and was about to be taken to the solitary room.

And just after he came out.

He found that outside the computer room building it seemed like it was after class time, and there were quite a few people pointing at him from a distance.

In the distance he could hear people discussing what happened in the computer room building.

Of course, the fight between him and Liao Hongsheng spread quickly.

Fighting is definitely forbidden in school.

However, if they fight in private without exposing each other, no one will report it.

It was only because Cheng Xinghe and Liao Hongsheng had fought in the corridor just now and the impact was too great that the teacher was attracted to them.

Of course, the news spread that Cheng Xinghe was arrested because of a fight.

Of course, the reason why Cheng Xinghe fought was also being spread.

It was just that when the news spread, it was trimmed and edited, and it turned out that Cheng Xinghe lost a simulated battle with someone, and became so angry that he chose physical PK.

Of course, this is nothing in fact. After all, it is a military academy. After many simulated battles, there are indeed many people who come back from offline PK.

This kind of thing is usually treated as a joke and passes within two or three days.

But along with this reason comes another piece of news.

That was the news that Cheng Xinghe was captured in the first place.

The news spread quickly among the crowd for some reason. There have been rumors that Cheng Xinghe got angry when someone poked him in a sore spot, and then he backhanded Liao Hongsheng.

Cheng Xinghe heard all this in his ears and remembered it in his heart, but he lowered his head and said nothing at all.

After all, even if he said it, he wouldn't be able to change anything, and it might even cause some counter-effects.

Anyway, the current situation is nothing to him.

He had been beaten, scolded, and criticized by Bai Quan before.

These things all happened in front of a bunch of uncles he knew and even his peers.

Just being talked about is such a big deal.

Even later, he was assigned by Baiquan to take care of the funeral affairs of every soldier who died because of his orders.

He went to many places, did many things, and met many people.

Not all those who have lost loved ones remain sane. At that time, all he could do was to be beaten and scolded, and that was all he dared to do.

He had to bear not only the physical pain, but also the psychological torture of seeing the cries and sorrow of the families of the soldiers who died because of his orders.

But he resisted, and he has endured until now, and he has not failed at all in cultivating his moral character.

His mentality is quite stable.

Even though the teacher was taking him here like a parade, he didn't feel any discomfort.

Until he heard someone spreading the rumor that Liao Hongsheng said that he sold his sister.

Cheng Xinghe raised his head and looked at the crowd.

Even in the noisy crowd, he easily targeted the few people who first spread the rumors.

He memorized all the appearances of these people and lowered his head again.

Although this news seems to be pure false news to anyone with a brain.

But as an elder brother, the anger in his heart would not diminish when he heard such news.

And more importantly, this rumor actually came at this time.

It's not like he doesn't know about Cheng Xinghai and Chen Ming, and it's not like he can't understand Bai Quan's thoughts.

He had no objection at all to the matter between Chen Ming and Cheng Xinghai. On the contrary, he was very supportive.

His situation is a little better than Cheng Xinghai's, but not much better, so he can understand Cheng Xinghai's difficulties.

He could already see in the simulation that Cheng Xinghai was already treating Chen Ming as a possible marriage partner.

Therefore, even if Cheng Xinghai was captured in the simulation, he was only excited for the first two days, and basically did not behave in front of his sister after that, giving Chen Ming and Cheng Xinghai enough opportunities to be alone.

In his opinion, Chen Ming is definitely a capable person.

After all, Chen Ming was able to chat and laugh with Bai Quan before, and he was a generation older than him in terms of status.

With Bai Quan checking his character, there will definitely be no problem.

Even he was happy to see the psykers with whom he had previously had conflicts turn into friendship.

Of course, Cheng Xinghai had completely resolved the conflict between him and Chen Ming by organizing a simulated battle with him and working together with Chen Ming.

But now some people are bringing up old stories and even making up new rumors, which is definitely a problem.

He could feel that something was very wrong about today's matter, and it was very targeted.

He just wanted to talk to Bai Quan or Cheng Xinghai now.

But his terminal had been confiscated just now.

And it seems that he has to go to the solitary room for two hours now, waiting for the results from Liao Hongsheng.

Anyway, it was Liao Hongsheng who slandered him first and then took action. He should not stay in the solitary room for too long.

But for some reason, before Cheng Xinghe entered the solitary room, he had a vague premonition.

Two hours later.

Chen Ming and Cheng Xinghai returned to the shuttle boat and were about to return to school.

Cheng Xinghai's face was filled with a gentle smile.

She had long known that she didn't have many choices in life.

Her life and marriage are bound to be accompanied by many interests.

Among countless interests, Chen Ming is the one who is still the best after abandoning all perspectives of interests. She is ready,

Although she knew that her relationship with Chen Ming was still in the love stage at best, and had not yet reached the point of discussing marriage. But she was already content to have such an emotional foundation.

Because Chen Ming is willing to accompany her to do things that others think are not good, such as playing games.

It was the same in the previous simulation. Chen Mingming was a person who could regard research as entertainment and could invest a lot of time in research, but he would occasionally chat with her about games.

At the end of each day's teaching, Chen Ming was able to take time to play with her for a while.

To have such a person accompany her, there is nothing more she could ask for.

And there is another point, that is, when she went out just now, she asked Chen Ming about his attitude towards her going to the battlefield.

Cheng Xinghai is also a very strong person at heart.

Otherwise, she actually had many opportunities to rely on her status to get Bai Quan to agree to the marriage request she had come over, and live a prosperous life at her fingertips.

But she didn't.

Instead, she continued studying in the military academy. She had completed all the credits for her major in her junior year. She also went to several small-scale battlefields, achieved military exploits, and obtained the rank of lieutenant.

She wanted to climb up on her own.

But if she tried to climb up, it would mean she would lose many of the rights women have.

Among the candidates she can marry, there are very few, or almost none, who are likely to allow her to continue to fight on the battlefield after getting married.

If she randomly marries other people, she will most likely end up as the husband and godson of the family.

She can only choose one between the battlefield and her family.

She didn't want to leave the battlefield and the path that could make her stronger.

But she also doesn't want to die alone.

So even after agreeing to Chen Ming's side, she was actually very nervous.

But just now, Chen Ming made it clear that he didn't mind this.

And he also gave her something.

A bracelet that exudes psychic energy.

The color is close to pure white and looks metallic.

But some places feel like some kind of carapace to the touch, as if they are a mixture of two materials.

Chen Ming also gave her a unique bracelet during that in-depth simulation.

But the bracelet was used by Chen Ming to restrict her.

But now this one is used to protect her.

Cheng Xinghai rubbed his fingertips on the bracelet, then quietly moved towards Chen Ming who was sitting in the driver's seat next to him, and slowly held Chen Ming's hand.

The shuttle boat returned to the school.

Just landed in the parking lot.

There was a girl at the edge of the parking lot who hurried to the shuttle boat.

Her eyes rested on Chen Ming at the edge of the open shuttle boat door for a moment, then turned to Cheng Xinghai.

She easily saw that Cheng Xinghai had the same bracelet on Chen Ming's wrist, but she didn't dwell on it and immediately said to Cheng Xinghai, "Xinghai, you're back."

When someone she knew saw it, Cheng Xinghai's face turned slightly red, and she quietly hid her and Chen Ming's hands behind her back.

After shaking her hand hard, she let go, jumped off the shuttle boat, and faced the girl.

At this time, Chen Ming quietly put his hands behind his back and shook them.

It can only be said that today he saw the side of Cheng Xinghai as a girl.

But he forgot about the scene in the simulation where he was almost kicked in the head by Cheng Xinghai.

The power in Cheng Xinghai's body is far beyond that of ordinary people. It should be the result of the development of her brain through her own spiritual energy.

Chen Ming's prosthesis was made according to Chen Ming's own physical fitness.

So in terms of physical strength, he couldn't compare to Cheng Xinghai.

Chen Ming was thinking a lot and looked at Cheng Xinghai pretending to be calm and asked the girl, "What's wrong?"

"Your brother might be arrested. He seems to have beaten someone to death."

The smile on Cheng Xinghai's face disappeared.

She was still very happy because she had already decided her future.

But as soon as she came back, she heard the shocking news.

Originally, Chen Ming was preparing to say goodbye to Cheng Xinghai and leave, because he had to go find Bai Quan and He Gu.

But after hearing this, he immediately jumped off the shuttle boat with Cheng Xinghai.

"what happened?"

The girl looked at Chen Ming, seemed to have thought of something, and swallowed nervously.

"That...it's on the school forum, you can read it yourself."

She immediately turned around and left in a hurry.

Cheng Xinghai had already taken out his terminal, opened the school forum managed by students, and saw the whole process of what happened two hours ago.

As well as the situation of the man named Liao Hongsheng who was beaten by Cheng Xinghe who was just updated about ten minutes ago.

He had been sent to the hospital at this time and was diagnosed with a severe concussion. His brain was displaced and fragments of his skull were stabbed. He was lying in the intensive care unit and could die at any time.

Of course, he and Cheng Xinghai also saw the fake news being spread on the forum.

It can be regarded as knowing the reason why Cheng Xinghe would beat people to that point.

Chen Ming was speechless at this time.

Because this kind of thing is really unsightly and unpopular, and it can be solved easily.

But the key is, why would Cheng Xinghe beat people to that point?

The person who spread the rumors could have been beaten, but how could he accidentally beat the person until he was almost dead?
Chen Ming knew Cheng Xinghe fairly well, but he didn't believe that Cheng Xinghe would go to such an extent.

As long as you figure out the reason, you'll basically know what's going on.

To be honest, Chen Ming's first reaction was that it was just a small brawl between students.

But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that something was wrong.

Something happened to Cheng Xinghe when he first came here. It would have happened sooner or later, but now.

Such a coincidence, there seems to be some problem.

It's better to pay a little attention.

Anyway, if there is a problem, investigate it clearly.

If there's no problem, just think of it as finding something to do.

No matter what, Cheng Xinghe is Cheng Xinghai's brother and Chen Ming's nominal uncle.

The conflict between them has long been resolved, and he has to help, both emotionally and rationally.
