Heading to Hell

046 Departure

[Li Qingming: It is your freedom to live for others, but I prefer to live for myself. It is wiser and healthier. 】

[Ji Xiaoxiang: Ha... How can one distinguish so clearly between oneself and others, between one's heart and the world?

[If you think about it carefully, even if a person like me goes out to work, he will not dare to speak and his performance will be very poor. I will probably be targeted by the boss and ostracized by my colleagues soon. In the end, it is better to run away and go home to be a worm. If you go and be a vanguard, at least you will die happily!

[And I remember that the college provides insurance. If you hurry up and die in the secret realm as a student, you can use the deposit to make your family live a happier life! 】

[Li Qingming: I'm too lazy to listen to what you think. Anyway, you can only follow me. 】

[Ji Xiaoxiang: Yeah! You must also remember, don’t hesitate to take action when the time comes! 】

[Li Qingming: Once again, please don’t question my expertise. 】

…

At night, in the city center, at a gym.

A sunny young man wearing a Bluetooth headset lay down on the bench press rack, holding the barbell with both hands, and began to take deep breaths to build up strength.

Next to him, seven or eight big men stopped to watch.

It's not because of anything else, it's mainly because I've never seen a guillotine.

After all, this guy is pushing 140 kilograms, which is comparable to professional athletes.

With his arm size and no one to protect him, Louis XVI would give him a thumbs up when he pushed nearly twice his body weight by himself.

However……

But the young man used all his strength to push up the barbell, then slowly and smoothly brought it to his chest, and then pushed it up again.

Throughout the entire process, the silky lines of his muscles were on full display, but he was not bloated at all. He himself was even more relaxed.

After completing it three times so quickly, he sent the barbell back steadily, breathed a long sigh of relief, and stood up straight.

And the big men around him were dumbfounded.

After they looked at each other, they took out their mobile phones and stepped forward.

"Brother is awesome."

"How do you practice?"

"Powerlifting boss, awesome!"

"Brother, please add us on WeChat and teach me."

Facing this group of enthusiastic big men or handsome men, the young man waved his hands humbly.

"Train blindly, practice blindly."

Seeing that he was so perfunctory and didn't take out his phone to add friends, the men soon lost interest and went to practice their own way.

As for this young man named Ye Qian, he himself found it very boring.

After working out for so long, no beautiful girl noticed his strong chest muscles.

There will always be a group of men watching.

The better you practice, the more fucking men you will surround yourself with.

Why.

Ye Qian sighed sadly, wiped her sweat, took out her phone, and opened her personal space.

After going through so many things today, and killing Cai Zhixin so handsomely, there must be some new attention and messages.

Accompanied by the sound of him swallowing saliva.

Bliss——

[Zhang Qingyi has canceled the following. 】

"..." Ye Qian looked stunned and fell into melancholy.

But not long after he was melancholy, he saw Zhang Qingyi's profile picture again during a recent interview.

"!" Ye Qian glared and became excited again.

Although she unfollowed it, she still couldn't help but click in to take a look!

This woman who doesn’t mean what she says, she still has me in her heart!

In excitement, Ye Qian moved her finger to Zhang Qingyi's profile picture and clicked on it without thinking, preparing for a silky return visit and a flirtatious look.

[You have been blacklisted by Zhang Qingyi. 】

"..." Ye Qian was stunned again.

Only then did he realize...

How can I block her if she doesn't visit my homepage first?

Why.

Ye Qian finally sighed, as if he had aged several years instantly.

At the same time, a soft AI female voice came from his earphones.

"Mr. Ye Qian, I am Casey, the intelligent assistant of Director Ye Zhiwen.

"Mr. Director accepted your invitation and arranged a three-minute conversation."

"The line will be connected in 60 seconds, please be prepared.

"It is recommended that you sort out your demands in advance so that communication can be completed efficiently."

Ye Qian didn't respond. She just lay back on the bench press silently and did another set. Then she picked up the towel and walked outside.

A minute later, a man's cold voice came from the earphones——

"I'm here, please say."

Ye Qianming stared ahead and said quickly:

"I encountered a secret realm today, but I only scored 53 points. I received invitations from Beijing College and Qianyu College, but I want to go to Jianfeng College."

"I will arrange it." The man responded quickly, but his hands seemed to be busy with other things, and he asked absently, "Is there anything else?"

"No, I won't waste your time." Ye Qian said.

"It's okay, let's chat with the family." The man said casually, "I heard about the secret realm of Beiyu Middle School. I briefly read the white paper. The classmate X in it must not be you. You are classmate Y, right?"

try{ggauto;} catch(ex){}

"Um."

"You're acting so embarrassed. Didn't you prepare a few Noble Phantasms?"

"I bought some on the black market and got scammed."

"Haha..." the man laughed, "At least you are sincere. This is much better than other brothers and sisters who only care about resources. But unfortunately, sincerity is not a bonus, profitable deception is."

"I know."

"It's okay, don't be discouraged. No Noble Phantasm can achieve this score, which is considered excellent, and your physical talent can crush your peers, including X." The man flipped through some information and said, "But you know , To stand at the top of an enterprise, excellence is not even a threshold.”

"Um."

"Okay, I will help you some more. Is 50 million enough?"

"After tax?"

"Before tax." The man smiled bitterly, "Now the tax AI is keeping a close eye on people like me, and 80% of the gift tax is unavoidable."

"Then it's 10 million, which is enough." Ye Qian said.

"Be smart this time and use it wisely."

"must."

"What, you already have an investment target?"

"Um."

"Very good, the call time is still 40 seconds. Finally, do you have any thoughts?"

"...Suddenly I thought of what you said before." Ye Qian played with the bath bubbles and said, "It's not people that control money, it's money that controls people."

"The precise expression is that no one can escape the control of laws." The man laughed calmly, "Judging from the content of the white paper, you must have experienced a failed love."

"So be it."

"This is a good thing. Love is just a lucky accident. It only exists in a moment of coincidence. Only by experiencing it and seeing it clearly can you adapt to the normal, cruel and boring world as soon as possible."

"...Is this really just a coincidence for a moment, and will it never happen again?"

"Mr. Ye Qian, I am Casey, the intelligent assistant of Director Ye Zhiwen. The call time has expired. If you have anything else, you can leave me a message. Do you need to convey the question you just asked?"

"……Don't!"

…

Same night, same time.

In an ordinary residential building, a girl has already packed her bags.

The parents didn't react in time and were a little reluctant to give up, but they couldn't stop it.

Mother had no choice but to hand over a bottle of water: "Are you going to the north in such a hurry..."

"It's a waste of time to stay." Zhang Qingyi took the water and nodded, "Report early and train early."

The father sitting on the sofa shook his head when he heard this, took a puff of cigarette and muttered: "You said you, you were good at first, why did you suddenly go to such a ghost place to be a vanguard? Will your mother and I have to run away in the future? I’ve traveled thousands of kilometers to collect your body? I’ve never seen you commit suicide like this!”

"Aren't you the same? You smoke harder than anyone else." Zhang Qingyi just snorted, "It doesn't matter if you die, don't smoke my mother to death first."

"Can I do the same? It will take decades of smoking before I die!" My father cursed with trembling fingers, "Look at you again! If you go to that hellish place, you will die tomorrow!"

"Everyone may die tomorrow." Zhang Qingyi turned around and said quietly, "The world has never been easy, it's just that we were lucky enough to have spent decades of easy time. Instead of deceiving ourselves, we pray for such ease. It will last forever. It is better to become stronger before others and become the one who is more likely to kill others."

"Ahem... what nonsense... I just encountered a secret realm once, and it made the whole world seem like a secret realm... Ahem..." After coughing a few more times, my father waved his hand feebly, "Go ahead and go I can only give you five thousand in the next month, that’s all I can do.”

"It's okay, you don't have to pay a penny." Zhang Qingyi nodded to his mother, "I'm leaving."

"A few final words..." The mother's eyes were red, and she took her daughter's hand and said, "You weren't like this yesterday... weren't you still working on a paper for science class with that Ye Qian... Think about it again. What about him? If you go to the North... won't it be difficult to see him again..."

"That's it, Mom." Zhang Qingyi smiled and put down her mother's hand, "I suddenly have no interest in men at all."

"..." Mother stayed for a moment, then glanced at the sofa, and then sighed, "That's fine, it will save me decades of detours."

"Haha, I'm leaving then."

"Be careful, the security in the north is poor, don't cause trouble..."

"Um."

Zhang Qingyi said no more, just opened the door and walked downstairs quickly.

As she walked briskly downward, she suddenly felt a sense of relief and even anticipation.

For some reason, she began to yearn for places with poor security, where at least the way to solve problems was simple and clear.

Enjoying such anticipation, her nerves suddenly tightened.

No, why do I suddenly long for a place outside the law...

This shouldn't be my idea...

Whose could it be?
