Chapter 98 Reality (2)

[Hang Jing is No. 1 in A+ combat power, and his regular teammates are strong control types. He can clear the level in 7 days. 】

[Old brother Niu Pi, who passed the game alone, actually finished the most difficult stage of the two-player version by himself. 】

[No, Hang Jing’s teammate Wang Yue is not in this league. I just saw him refresh the ranking in another league. 】

[Who is teaming up with him this time?Bringing new people?This kind of material book usually has a pharmacist in the team who goes in to brush the materials and formulas. 】

Jiang Qi saw the express delivery message popping up on his phone, closed the system interface, casually put on a coat, took the keys and went out.

I haven't come out for several days. I've been in the copy for seven days and haven't seen a window. It's time to go out for a walk.

The sunlight that had just emerged from the clouds shone on my hands, dazzling my eyes a bit. It was the off-season and there were not many pedestrians in the nearby scenic area.

Jiang Qi walked into the yard holding the express box. Suddenly, the scene in front of him changed.

The sun dimmed, and the wet ground revealed its dilapidation. The roses and magnolias planted in the yard were decaying and breaking at an incredible speed in her eyes. The neighbors chatting downstairs also turned into monsters in the game.
The sounds coming out of their mouths were gibbering that she couldn't understand, swirling in her mind and impacting her nerves.

Jiang Qi's eyes suddenly became extremely cold. She tightened her fingers and clasped the paper box hard, trying to suppress the chaos and murderous intention in her heart with reason.

After a few seconds, he relaxed his fingers and walked quickly into the unit building.

Everything around has returned to normal.

Several chatting neighbors looked behind Jiang Qi as he left.

"Isn't this Mrs. Jiang's granddaughter?" the aunt with curly hair and a skirt said, her tone sounded a little uncomfortable,

"I haven't seen her go out for a few days. She always orders takeout. She doesn't even cook for such a big person. There is also express delivery. Express delivery comes every three days. Sometimes she returns a lot at once. I really like online shopping."

"She was adopted. After Grandma Jiang left, she moved back to this old house by herself. She has been at home for almost a year. She doesn't like to go out very much. She is beautiful, but she doesn't work and she doesn't have a boyfriend." Continued. The speaker shook his head,
"With this kind of condition, it will be difficult to get married after two years of age."

While they were talking enthusiastically, they saw Jiang Qi running back with a courier box in his arms, and quickly fell silent.

"Auntie, I haven't gone far yet, so I have to explain."

"Just because I don't go out doesn't mean I'm not working. I took a break before. Now, my monthly income can be as much as your son's for several months."

Playing dungeons to earn points is not a high-paying job.

Jiang Qi ignored the embarrassed and unhappy expressions of several neighbors and said calmly,
"I like online shopping. I buy a lot of things at home online. Is there any problem with spending my own money? And if I want to cook, I can do it. If I don't want to, I can't. As for getting married, If you don’t have this plan at the moment, you don’t have to worry about it, why not pay more attention to your own family’s affairs.”

After Jiang Qi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

If she didn't hear it, forget it. If she heard it, she couldn't pretend she didn't hear it.

-

Jiang Qi closed the door, put the express box on the floor, and walked into the bedroom. He didn't notice the short and thin figure walking in the kitchen, or the old, yellowed, water-stained wall that didn't match the whole house.

The room also darkened due to the change in weather.

The laptop screen was on, the music playing stopped, and it started to rain outside the window again.

Jiang Qi turned on the light, and in the process of closing the window, he suddenly heard the soft footsteps behind him, and smelled the aroma of food.

Her eyesight was not good at night, and over time, familiar people could be identified just by the sound of footsteps.Jiang Qi's expression changed, and he turned around and walked towards the dining table illuminated by the lights.

Seeing the figure beside her, her pupils tightened and her face was full of gaffes.

The dining table and surrounding furnishings were still the same as they were before she renovated them, full of a sense of age. The liver-colored paint was peeling off a bit, the dish bowls were rough, and the outer circle was made of outdated patterns.

Grandma was still the same as before her death, wearing a cotton top, her gray hair neatly combed, and her short and thin body holding a bowl of vegetables on the table.

Her kind face has not changed. It is not the thin and disfigured look she had when she died. It was the way she used to be in good spirits and would happily say, "Xiao Qi is back" when she came back from get off work.

Jiang Qi stared at this figure blankly, not daring to move, for fear that everything would disappear if he moved.

Whether it was a hallucination or something else, she saw someone she had always wanted to see again.

"Xiao Qi, sit down and eat quickly." The old man smiled kindly.

Jiang Qi obediently pulled out the stool and sat in his accustomed position.

No one on the table moved their chopsticks.

The old man looked at Jiang Qi, his eyes dull, "I'm really worried."

"Grandma, I'm sorry." Jiang Qi's shoulders trembled slightly, "I always feel that there is still a lot of time. I always feel that your body was not very good during that period. I thought it would be like before. After a few days, when the weather gets better, , it’ll be fine”

She thought that by working hard for a few years, her grandma would live a better life and spend more time with her.
but
She didn't even know that her grandmother's body was exhausted and she had been trying to stay with her for a while longer.

"I don't know, it's serious enough."

"Xiao Qi - come with me -" the old man interrupted her, and the smile on his face suddenly changed from kind to cold.

The lights also became dim and dim, and the food on the table lost its heat and fragrance.

The whole room became cold, and the sound of rain outside seemed to be mixed through an invisible wall.

Jiang Qi was like someone pouring a bucket of cold water on him. He was cold from the inside out, and the little hope in his heart was extinguished.

"Grandma would never say that. At the last moment of her life, she still hoped that I could live a good life, and was still worried about what I would do if I was alone in the future."

Jiang Qi's eyes were cold and stern, and he said in a cold voice, "Who are you?!"

'Grandma' did not reply to her words, but said with a smile, "Since you feel so guilty, just come with me -"

"No, if you want to leave, you can go by yourself." Jiang Qi had calmed down and didn't want to say another word to the impostor.

The face of the old man in front of him gradually blurred until he disappeared. Jiang Qi also opened his eyes from the table and straightened up.

Are you dreaming just now?

The tune of mournful music reached her ears from nowhere. Jiang Qi immediately stood up from the chair and looked around at this home that she was so familiar with.

Old furniture, dusty boxes from my grandmother's youth, and white cloths and fine linen threads randomly placed during her busy life.
There was no sound in the room except for mourning and music.

Until Jiang Qi saw the cardboard box on the ground, which was the express box she brought back.
