The end of the world starts with failing the exam

While Chen Jing was speaking, Black Star seemed to be silently responding to him. The piece of "soil" caressed by his palm suddenly split silently, like torn pig iron, among the black gaps. , faintly dancing with the golden light in the deep sky...

"Let's go home and eat, otherwise the old man will come up and hurry me up."

Chapter 661: The Third Round of Exams Ends (Part 2)

Kakosha.

January 1st, Year 1 of Deep Space Era.

The period of "leaving out of closed beta" does not count.

From the thirty days of the first round of exams, to the hundred days of the second round of exams, to the third round of exams that is about to end, three hundred and sixty-five days...

The time Chen Jing spent in the other world with many candidates.

The total duration has been more than a year.

It is no exaggeration to say that the vast majority of candidates have become accustomed to life in the other world, and some are even very resistant to returning to the outside world, even if the apparent dangers in the outside world are far less than those in the outside world...

To them, risk doesn't matter.

What really makes them linger on the outside world is their "home" here.

Some people have wives and children in this world.

Some people find their parents in this world.

Again.

Not all candidates have complete families in the outside world. At least a quarter are divorced single-parent families, or frustrated people whose wives have separated. Some candidates even have no parents in the outside world, such as Chen scene……

Therefore, rather than returning to the outside world, they prefer to continue living in this crisis-ridden inner world. At least this distorted and distorted world will give them a greater sense of belonging.

"We have to go back in half an hour."

Chen Jing sat alone on the throne of the temple, Bai Aji curled up in his arms as usual, as well-behaved as an alien dog, while Yagtos stood aside, quietly waiting for Chen Jing to take him Send back to deep space.

As for Black Star...

He had already put that thing away in the name of "inspection and maintenance" and had already sent it to deep space to stay.

"Aren't you going to say goodbye?" Jegertos asked.

"When we get together to eat at noon, we just chat casually and say goodbye. If we talk too much, they will inevitably become distracted, especially my grandpa." Chen Jing shook his head.

Hearing Chen Jing's words, Jegertos said nothing more.

"It's okay, we should be back soon." Chen Jing said with a smile, but his words seemed to be comforting himself, "During the time when the candidates left the other world, the other world was completely still, and even time was at a standstill. It won’t flow...it’ll be fine.”

At the same time, the light curtain in front of Chen Jing also lit up again.

It was a message from Qiao Youning.

……

[Qiao Youning]: "I'm ready, please be careful and don't leave anything behind."

[Chen Jing]: "Yeah, I know, don't worry."

[Qiao Youning]: "That's it for now, we'll talk when we get back."

[Chen Jing]: "Okay..."

……

Looking at the chat box on the light screen.

Chen Jing couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Ever since Mother Buddha left Kakosha last time, Qiao Youning had always felt strange to him. It wasn't that she was angry or any other obvious emotion, but she just felt something was wrong.

You ask her for help, and she does it without saying a word.

If you chat with her and ask something, she will reply quickly.

But it's just... weird.

Especially when you look up the chat history to find the reason, this strange feeling will become more and more serious.

"I seem to be talking less and less with her..." Chen Jing silently flipped through the chat records, thinking to himself, "In the past, she rarely ended the conversation on her own initiative, and she would always ask this and that. It seemed like There are endless things to say..."

Don't you like chatting with me?

Or did I make her unhappy?

Judging from the chat history, I don’t seem to be that annoying, but the last time I told her Happy New Year, she just replied Happy New Year without asking anything else...

Well known.

The "calendar" used in Kakosha is different from other cities, and there is even a gap of several months with some urban areas, so celebrating the New Year in Kakosha does not mean celebrating the New Year in other places... But even so, Qiao Youning did not ask too much, but just replied cutely, "Happy New Year to you too."

Just one sentence.

Chen Jing was immediately confused.

He was originally planning to talk to Qiao Youning about the progress of Kakosha and the fact that Kakosha would use the new calendar in the future, but Qiao Youning's reply made Chen Jing stunned for a long time, and he didn't know how to continue.

He expected her to ask.

Just like before, I would ask questions about a topic, always wanting to get to the bottom of it and chat for a long time, but now everything seems to have changed... But why has it changed? ! Chen Jing really couldn't understand.

Chen Jing can be sure that his relationship with her has not deteriorated, because although Qiao Youning has never taken the initiative to seek her help, the care that appears between the lines when he takes the initiative to ask for help cannot be faked.

"Let's ask again when we get back..."

Chen Jing closed the light curtain thoughtfully, and then leaned his whole body on the throne.

Time passes minute by minute.

Soon the countdown to the last ten minutes came.

Chen Jing checked the deep space again.

Black Star's condition inside is very stable.

The splendor of deep space also floats quietly in the vacuum universe.

Make sure nothing is left behind.

Only then did Chen Jing send Yegetos and Baiage inside.

Then he waited in silence for the countdown to reach zero.

But the wait was less than two minutes.

Chen Jing couldn't help but feel doubts in his heart. He opened the light screen again and sent a message to Qiao Youning.

……

[Chen Jing]: "You Ning, are you there?"

[Qiao Youning]: "Yeah!"

[Chen Jing]: "Did I make you angry?"

[Qiao Youning]: "No! Why do you think so?"

[Chen Jing]: "I just feel like there seems to be something wrong between us..."

……

Chen Jing originally wanted to describe this strange feeling in detail, but when he was typing, he was so confused that he didn't know what to say. He only saw Qiao Youning replying quickly.

……

[Qiao Youning]: "Ajing, what problems could there be between us?"

[Chen Jing]: "I don't know... I just feel like I've made you angry..."

[Qiao Youning]: "I'm really not angry, and I told you before that I will never be angry with you no matter what. You are the only person in the world who treats me well, and you are also my only friend. Yeah…we will always be good friends!”

[Chen Jing]: "I'm sorry."

[Qiao Youning]: "Oh, I'm not angry with you, and you didn't do anything wrong. Don't apologize to me..."

……

Chen Jing didn't know why he had to apologize, even if he didn't know what he had done wrong, but... forget it.

……

[Chen Jing]: "We are really still good friends, right?"

[Qiao Youning]: "Of course, we will be good friends for life. Whether you admit it or not, I do anyway!"

[Chen Jing]: "That's good... let's talk about it when we get back."

[Qiao Youning]: "Yeah!"

[Chen Jing]: "Take care."

[Qiao Youning]: "Take care."

……

The moment the countdown reached zero, Chen Jing instinctively closed his eyes.

Time travel has begun.

Chapter 662: The Invaded Surface World (Part 1)

Anything related to space will be inexplicably related to "deep space", as if "deep space" is the source of these billions of space laws.

of course.

This can also prove that what Huang Wang and Keturt said is true.

Deep space is something that existed before the birth of time and space.

The known material universe and those unknown dimensional spaces almost all evolved from the separation of "deep space".

One positive and one negative, the world inside and outside.

Although this kind of space travel between positive and negative poles is far more complicated than dimensional travel, as Chen Jing's sequence level increases, the more information he can perceive during the travel process, and his consciousness is forcibly suspended due to the travel. It will also become clearer.

During the last time he traveled, that is, at the beginning of the third round of exams, he could see the passage between the two worlds during the journey, and he could also roughly see the "historical images" of the two worlds through that wonderful state.

Chen Jing originally thought that was the limit.

Until this return...

In the almost empty passage of the world, Chen Jing finally saw more details.

"It turns out they have been behind me..."

In Chen Jing's eyes, the two worlds inside and outside are two huge gyro-shaped heterochromatic light groups. They are like gathering nebulae, suspended in the vast darkness. The hourglass-shaped connection in the middle is Chen Jing's The channel between the inner and outer world where you are.

Different from the previous time travel.

He no longer saw those illusory "historical images". He only saw countless "light spots" behind him. Judging from those familiar smells... those "light spots" should be the candidates who returned this time!

Just as Chen Jing carefully looked at those "light spots", more details about the time travel emerged.

It was these terrifying things that gradually came into Chen Jing's eyes that made him feel the shivers he had not seen for a long time.

They were huge shadows standing on both sides of the passage.

Some resemble human shapes, some resemble animal shapes, and some resemble winding mountains or complex geometric bodies. In short, they are all shapes that are difficult to associate with the word "biological".

They should all be "alive".

Because Chen Jing could clearly see their eyes, that cold and contemptuous gaze kept piercing Chen Jing's body like a poisonous steel needle.

But they should be more than just "alive"...

No.

Not them.
