The end of the world begins with failing an exam

Chen Jing smiled, recalling the wonderful experiences these days, it was like a dream.

In the real world, he is just a social animal, but compared to his peers, he has been trying to break out of the state of being used as a tool.

Of course, one could also say that he was lying down.

I would rather maintain the status quo with some free time to control than squeeze my life further for money and fame.

People have to live for something apart from fame and fortune.

Chen Jing has always felt this way.

That's why when he heard the old man say "what is real living" before, he had some feelings... Yes, maybe it was because he was not strong enough that he could not get rid of the worldly rules.

From this point of view.

In fact, they are all the same.

There is no difference between the two worlds.

If you want to live truly freely and freely, you can only become stronger than the rules. The old man is a living example...

"Actually, it's quite nice here..."

Chen Jing didn't care whether Bai Aji could understand what he said. He was a little sleepy lying on its back, but when he thought about his experiences these days, he still couldn't help but smile.

This crazy world may be a bit scary to ordinary people.

But for Chen Jing...

fine.

Although the old man is crazy, he is really a good grandfather. His love and trust in him are unconditional. Chen Jing has long seen this.

As for Wei Nan...

is a good friend.

Even though she has a bad temper and doesn't know how to read people's eyes, at least she is not hypocritical and loyal, which is much better than those people she met before.

Ryan…

The skeleton kid is a good kid, sensible and capable, but sometimes pitiful, making people always want to bully him.

Yanque.

He doesn't talk much and doesn't interact much, but he is very polite.

Lawrence... can be regarded as a weakened version of the heavy-tasting grandpa. Chen Jing can't forget the image of his body being hollow and his eyes popping out.

"I didn't expect that I would one day make friends... It seems that having these friends is not that bad..." Chen Jing sighed in his heart.

And just as he was recalling his experiences these days.

The countdown to return to the real world has come to the final moment.

——

[Countdown to return: 0 hours, 0 minutes and 10 seconds]

——

"Remember my words, if I disappear, just go back to the community and wait for me. I will come back, and the old man will take good care of you..."

Chen Jing took a deep breath, turned over and jumped off Bai Aji.

[Countdown to return: 0 hours, 0 minutes and 5 seconds]

[Countdown to return: 0 hours, 0 minutes and 4 seconds]

[Countdown to return: 0 hours, 0 minutes and 3 seconds]

"It's like a dream..."

Chen Jing finally raised his head and looked at the moon hanging high in the sky.

No, he should be called Gehro, right?

Luna.

"Sure enough, it looks weird no matter how you look at it..."

When the countdown ended, Chen Jing's eyes still stayed on the moon, and he felt that the cold moonlight seemed to be warming up.

warmth……

…

"I...I'm back?!"

Chen Jing suddenly found that the scenery around him had changed, and even this change was something he had no time to notice. It was as if he was here from the beginning, not in the mean streets of Yongye Market.

Yes.

The sun was still shining brightly in the cloudless sky, and the sultry air in the mountains made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He is still standing next to Chen Bofu's grave.

At his feet was the camera that fell to the ground.

And behind...

"Woo——"

Bai Aji looked around confusedly, as if he didn't understand how he came to this place inexplicably.

"What...what happened to you? Why did you come back with me?!"

Chen Jing looked at Bai Aji in surprise, wondering if he was dreaming.

He originally thought that returning to the real world this time would be like traveling to the other world before, going with the wind in his sleeves and coming back naked.

But reality doesn't seem to be the case.

"It's not a dream..."

"It's all true!"

Chen Jing couldn't help but rush towards Bai Aji and hugged it tightly. He was still a little scared before, fearing that he would find that it was all just a dream when he returned from time travel... Fortunately, fortunately it was not a dream.

Chen Jing hugged Bai Aji and slowly moved his eyes to the tombstone not far away.

Seeing that familiar name carved on the cold stone, he suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.

"It's not a dream...it's great..."

Chen Jing bent down and picked up the camera on the ground. There was a mist in his red eyes, and he was not calm inside. It could even be said that he was a little too excited.

Because he knows that grandpa is still there.

Whether it's that crazy grandpa.

It’s still the missing grandpa.

All are still there.

"Don't worry...Grandpa...I will find you..."

Chen Jing held the camera and looked at the tombstone motionlessly, trying to show a confident smile to the name on the tombstone, but his eyes turned red disobediently.

At this moment, Chen Jing felt that the wind in Sentinel Ridge was really strong.

It made his eyes hurt.

"Aji, let's go, I'll take you home."

Chapter 48 The unexpected joy of returning to reality

"14:36...the date is also correct...the time doesn't seem to have moved much..."

Although Chen Jing couldn't remember the specific time before he traveled through time, he had a rough impression and was basically certain that the time had not changed much.

Thinking of this, Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

If the same ten days had passed in the real world, he really didn't know how to explain it to the company...

Putting his cell phone in his pocket, Chen Jing bent down and picked up the camera from the ground.

He hesitated for a moment.

He decided to watch the video left by the old man again.

The last time he watched the video, he was pulled into the other world before he had time to think about it.

So this time he wanted to try again.

See if those pale and withered strange hands will appear again.

"By the time you see this video, I should have disappeared."

The old man in the battle-damaged image looked very blurry, and his voice seemed to be subject to some kind of interference, but Chen Jing could still understand the general content.

"I know you have a lot of questions, but I don't have much time. I don't have time to explain it to you. Listen carefully to every word I say..."

Chen Jing stared at the old man wearing a knitted sweater in the video. Looking at his cold and stiff expression, he felt familiar yet unfamiliar.

It's really different.

The real grandfather is as cold and hard as a piece of iron.

However, Chen Jing also knew that his personality was not like this before. All the changes started decades ago, and they all originated from the stone tablet from Antarctica that recorded the prophecy of doomsday.

"Human civilization has come to an end...the end is coming soon..."

…

"Before returning to China... yes! It was 1972! That year, I and my colleagues were hired by the Wood Private Consortium to go on an expedition to Antarctica. This is what was recorded on the ancient tablet I found in Antarctica!"

…

"No one knew the existence of that stone tablet except me, so I brought it back secretly. It seemed to have a kind of magic power that kept bewitching me, making me keep deciphering the contents on it..."

…

"I've finished deciphering that stone tablet! So I woke up! I'm not crazy anymore! I know I've been sorry to you and your grandma all these years!"

"Listen carefully to the next words! I can say as much as I can!"

"Every civilization that develops to a certain stage will be pulled into a biological leap test. If you fail the test, the traces of the existence of the civilization will be erased. This is how the last civilization perished, so..."

Just like the last time I watched the video, when the old man said this, the screen began to tremble violently, and from time to time there was a harsh and boring electric noise that covered up the old man's voice.

"The machine is about to collapse [* signal noise] - it's hot [* signal noise] - I know it's [* signal noise] interfering - [* signal noise] they are targeting me -"

"The iron box is for [* signal noise] - take away the things - bury the box back [* signal noise] - otherwise [* signal noise] will find you -"

"We reached an agreement - I finally helped you get the [*Signal Noise] qualification - to buy some time to deal with the end [*Signal Noise] -"

…

The video ended with a long and uninterrupted noise of electricity, and the pale and withered strange hands from last time did not appear.

Chen Jing was silent for a moment and pressed the off button of the camera.

Then he turned his attention to the iron box next to the grave.

It was dug out of the old man's grave.

camera.

A note prompting you to watch the video.

And that key.

These things were all sealed in that iron-like box.

There is also a small note left by the old man on the box.

Chen Jing squatted on the grave and packed it carefully. He put all the notes, keys, and cameras in his backpack. Then he buried the iron box back according to the old man's instructions, and then packed the grave bag again. At least it looked like it had not been touched. .
