The end of the world starts with failing the exam

Upon hearing what he said, Chen Jing instantly became alert.

"Which ancient ruins did you see it at?"

"Deep in the wasteland, there is a place called the 'Yellow King's Courtyard' by the local tribe..."

Chen Jing wanted to continue listening because he was also curious about how the reward given to him by the examiner could be so deeply connected to this world.

But unfortunately, the old man didn't intend to say too much. Of course, it might be that the useful information was just that, so the old man soon changed the topic.

"Did your grandfather give you this ancient relic?"

"You know my father...you know who I am?!"

"I've seen you before."

Hearing this, Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the conflict between the old man and his grandfather that Wei Nan had said...

"Don't worry, I won't harm you."

The hollow on the old man's face suddenly tore open to both sides, revealing an extremely weird smile.

"If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have taken action when you were surrounded by those people."

"Thanks……"

"No need to thank me." The old man smiled strangely, not caring what Chen Jing would think because of these words, "If I weren't afraid that your grandfather would be angry with me after you died, I would definitely not take action. After all..."

The old man slowly came forward and carefully looked at the handsome face in front of him.

"What I like most is seeing the desperate expression on people's faces before they die."

Chapter 19 Lawrence's Auspicious Signs

"To be honest, I have always doubted whether you are your grandfather's son..."

The old man seemed to have seen Chen Jing more than once. At this moment, he looked at the handsome face in front of him and marveled at it.

He is different from the old man who has a sullen face all day long.

His grandson looks pretty good.

It looks delicious.

"You look nothing like him."

"..."

Seeing Chen Jing's silence, the old man seemed to suddenly think of something and stood up straight in a hurry.

"Oh no, shouldn't I have told you this...it won't be good if your grandfather finds out!"

"I won't tell."

Chen Jing covered his head and stood up slowly. He felt extremely dizzy and his legs had no strength, as if they were stepping on cotton.

"After all, you saved me..."

"That's true." The old man laughed.

"By the way, this is for you."

Although he experienced so many things in just a few hours, Chen Jing never forgot the old man's instructions. He took out the last property fee receipt from his pocket and handed it to the old man.

"Mud guy?" The old man took a look at the receipt and smiled instead of being angry, "Why did you write my nickname on it?"

"Is this really a nickname?" Chen Jing was stunned for a moment.

"Someone called me that a long time ago, but now only your grandfather dares to call me that..."

The old man first smiled and put the receipt in the palm of his hand, and then slowly inserted his right hand into his mud-like abdomen, which seemed to be where he stored things.

"My name is Lawrence."

"Lawrence..."

Chen Jing felt strange when he heard this foreign name, because among the people he met in the other world, the only one with such a foreign name seemed to be the old man in front of him.

"Me! Me! Ryan!"

The little skeleton who had been afraid to speak suddenly spoke up and introduced himself to Chen Jing very hard.

"First! Sir! You saved my life! Can I follow you!"

"I'm not a member of society, why would you follow me..." Chen Jing said in a funny tone.

"Little bastards like this in the wasteland like strong people. Although you... forget it, you are still quite strong with that ancient relic, at least in his opinion."

At this moment, Old Lawrence was still smiling, but his laughter sounded a little malicious to Chen Jing.

"Your current physical condition is very poor. There is too much blood loss in your body. When you go back, remember to ask your grandpa to help you take good care of yourself. Otherwise..."

Lawrence spread his hands, with a smile on his face showing a hint of schadenfreude.

"The blood I gave you might kill you."

"Blood transfusion?!"

Chen Jing suddenly realized that he might have been in coma because he drew too much blood from the Holy Grail.

So I can wake up now... is it all because this old man gave me a blood transfusion?

But looking at him like this, could there be blood in his body?

It can't be mud...

"What does the blood you gave me look like?" Chen Jing asked tentatively.

Lawrence stretched out his right index finger and clasped it on his abdomen, sticking the asphalt-like mud to his fingertips and shaking it.

"It's just these dirty things. I hope you, a spoiled young master, don't dislike them..."

"!!!"

Before Chen Jing could feel sick in his heart, he suddenly heard a familiar shout from the darkness not far away.

"Little brother!!"

"Brother, are you here?!"

"Mud man! The traces outside were left by you! I can recognize them! I'm warning you not to mess around! Otherwise, my fists as big as sandbags will not recognize anyone..."

Lawrence Xunsheng glanced back, and the smile on his face fell instantly.

Then he laughed again.

"I didn't expect anyone besides your grandpa would dare to call me that..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lawrence began to slowly sink into the ground, and his mud-like body merged with the floor in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Chen Jing quickly spoke to persuade him.

"Don't get angry with her." Chen Jing was so cold that he couldn't walk. Little Skeleton Lane stood on tiptoe to support him very hard, for fear that he would accidentally fall.

Hearing Chen Jing's voice, Lawrence slowly raised half of his head from the ground.

"Grandpa Lawrence, I apologize to you on her behalf." Chen Jing sighed, "She is just too worried about me. I hope you don't mind..."

Lawrence was strangely silent, looking at Chen Jing with those empty eyes, and said nothing for a long time.

"You are definitely not your grandfather's son." Lawrence suddenly said this inexplicably, and then slowly lifted his mud-like body completely from the ground, seemingly giving up the idea of ​​"teaching" Wei Nan a lesson.

"Am I really nothing like him?" Chen Jing didn't know why he asked such a question, maybe it was an instinctive reaction.

"Not like."

Lawrence shook his head, his old steps seemed particularly heavy, and his body gradually became stooped.

"If you were him, you would have dug me out of the ground just now, then tore open my mouth that speaks poorly, then dug out my internal organs and roasted them for eating, and finally..."

Lawrence seemed to think of some bad memories, and couldn't help but shudder with sudden fear in his heart.

"Anyway, you have a much better temper than your grandfather."

"..." Chen Jing didn't know what to say.

Is this a compliment?

"But you are much weaker than your grandfather. You are just like an ant being raised by humans..."

After saying this, Lawrence suddenly covered his mouth again, shaking his head in surprise and annoyance.

"It's bad, it's bad, I seem to have offended you again with my words."

"It's ok."

Chen Jing didn't take Lawrence's words to heart, not to mention what he said was the truth.

"I originally wanted to visit you today with a gift...but I didn't expect to encounter such an accident..."

"A gift?" Lawrence was startled.

"Eyeballs." Chen Jing remembered the hint in the garbled text, but he was too embarrassed to say that the gift he prepared was dug out of the chicken head.

"You...how do you know I like eyeballs..."

Lawrence couldn't help himself with his surprise, because "eyeballs" were his only hobby.

And this hobby has never been exposed to others.

"Do you believe me when I say I guessed it?"

"..."

Chen Jing looked at the silent Lawrence, and then glanced at the terrifying holes in his body. A sentence suddenly came to his mind, and he said it without any thought.

"You have so many holes on your body, it would look better if you decorate them with eyeballs."

"Are you serious?" Lawrence was stunned.

Chen Jing didn't know how to answer, so he could only nod.

"I didn't expect you to have the same aesthetics as me..."

Lawrence sighed in surprise, his empty eyes revealing the joy of finding a "soul soulmate".

"I once met an alchemist from the [Turing Research Society] in the wasteland. In order to repay my favor, he used the brain network to connect to the research society's host. With the help of the host's computing power, he calculated the heaven that belonged to me. "It's auspicious for people," saying that walking around in this shape will help me be taken care of by noble people..."

At this moment, Lawrence was blabbering about his wonderful encounters, but Chen Jing couldn't listen to a word because he started to have a severe headache not long after he woke up.

It was as if his head was about to explode, as if countless steel needles were stabbing into his brain tissue in turn.

The tearing pain was unbearable for him. He could grit his teeth and hold on to persuade Lawrence not to move Wei Nan. This was the limit...

"That's right! Do you still want those people outside?"

Hearing Lawrence's words, Chen Jing hurriedly waved his hands and said no, because he could hear the desire from the soul in Lawrence's tone...

"You don't want it? That's great, great..." Lawrence paced back and forth, obviously too excited to control himself, "I can only stay here to recuperate... so it's very inconvenient to want blood food... and the eyes are full of greed." She’s quite pretty…”

"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Chen Jing said with a headache.

"Give it all to me?" Lawrence suddenly looked back at him, with a hint of vigilance in his tone, "Why are you so nice to me?"

"I want to make friends with you." Chen Jing felt that his headache was getting worse and he directly stated his purpose.

When Lawrence heard these sudden words, he was stunned for a moment, then fell silent, and carefully looked at Chen Jing, whose face was full of pain.

"Are you kidding me?"

"No."

"I don't think so either..." Lawrence murmured to himself, with a hint of confusion in his empty eyes, "I feel like your tone of voice is very serious..."

At this moment, Chen Jing suddenly heard a squirming sound coming from Lawrence's body, as if there were many invisible bugs crawling inside his body. The sound that was thick and rhythmic made people shudder. .

"Strange...you are such a weirdo..."

Lawrence was still talking to himself, and the strange holes in his body continued to shrink until...

The eyeballs belonging to different creatures drilled out from the depths of the hole.

Looking at the hundreds of "eyeballs" scattered all over Lawrence, Chen Jing's dizziness was relieved by half in an instant, and he felt that all the hairs on his body stood up.

Could this be what he said before...
