As the autumn wind takes away the last traces of summer heat.
Summer becomes a story, and autumn becomes a landscape.
…
October, autumn.
More than half a month has passed since the incident in the Netherworld Tunnel.
Originally, Jiang Che and the others were supposed to return to the city for treatment or move elsewhere, but because Zhuge Ye had not returned yet, they stayed here.
More than half of the mountain was removed, leaving the coordinates where Zhuge Ye entered the mysterious world completely empty.
As long as Zhuge Ye can complete the secret challenge and come out alive, everything will be fine.
After Zhu Yao heard about this, she came specially from the capital and is now responsible for taking care of Su Xiaojin.
Su Xiaojin's injuries have almost recovered, and now she mainly needs to rest and observe to avoid leaving hidden diseases.
I don't know what kind of ghost she has, and she never mentioned it.
As for Jiang Che...
Jiang Che sat on the edge of the bed, eyes closed, his mind wandering.
The prison of the heavens.
There are no comfortable rooms in the prison, but Jiang Che has tidied up Xiaoman's cell in the past few days.
The matter was not as tragic as Jiang Che imagined, but he had never dared to face it before.
Although he couldn't sense it, he was sure that the previous contract between him and Xiaoman had not been terminated.
At this time, Xiaoman was lying flat on the ground, like a cold corpse.
Xiao Meng ran around the prison babbling with her chubby bare feet. She would be scared when she saw Jiang Che, and would sometimes kneel down next to Xiao Man and cry loudly.
But more often than not, she cuddles up next to Xiaoman and sleeps.
She even moved the books from her cell.
"Xiao Meng." Jiang Che waved to Xiao Meng.
Xiaomeng: "(ó﹏o)Hmm..."
Jiang Che sneered: "I won't let you read."
Little Dream??)"
Xiaomeng's fear of herself is now 146 points, which is still some distance from 200 points.
Originally, Jiang Che thought that fear was easier to cultivate than good feelings, but the reality was not the same.
Xiaomeng has no fear except studying.
But under the encouragement of himself and Xiaoman, Xiaomeng has now become a veritable academic master in addition to not being able to speak.
Jiang Che himself couldn't understand the paper he was making for her now.
After pinching Xiao Meng's cheek, it was clear that the fleshy texture was firm, and Jiang Che said, "What do you think, do you want to sign a contract with me?"
"(▼ヘ▼#)" Xiao Meng shook her head crazily.
Jiang Che smiled and said: "Xiaoman must have fallen asleep. If she wakes up, remember to ask her to come to me."
Xiao Meng nodded like a peck of rice.
After exiting Zhutian Prison, Jiang Che opened his eyes.
I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was almost time for the mental examination again.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Che: "Please come in."
"Squeak..."
The door opened and a tall woman walked in.
She was wearing a tight-fitting combat uniform, was over 1.7 meters tall, had a tall figure, and her legs were slender and straight.
The upper half of his face was hidden under a cold mask, with only his bright red lips and delicate chin exposed.
Abstinence type... Jiang Che frowned slightly, unable to find any relevant information about the woman in front of him in his memory.
However, Jiang Che was shocked when he saw that there was no badge on her chest.
The woman spoke with a cold and calm voice: "I am the judge, code name is Ningguang."
Is he really a judge... Is this judge cosplaying with the Light Bearer? The figure is similar, but the lower body is still wearing too many clothes.
Wait, Ning Guang?
Below is Ningguang, who governs Liyue Port and has the authority of Qixingtian.
Not only is Mo Lahua beautiful, she is as rich as her family, and she is known as the richest woman in the world?
No, it seems to be the Ningguang whom Sister Hongling complained about for being stingy... Jiang Che touched his nose: "Ahem, hey, Lord Ningguang, do you have anything to do with me?"
Ning Guang: "Complete my mission."
Jiang Che: "..., so what do you want me to do?"
"Take off your clothes."
"Um, okay, eh?!" Jiang Che looked at Ningguang in shock.
Ning Guang: "This is an order."
Damn it, what kind of order is this? Is this an unspoken rule? What's going on? I've just recovered from a serious illness and I'm going to be hidden?! Jiang Che said while taking off his clothes: "This is not good..."
Ning Guang: "I asked you to take off your clothes, but I didn't ask you to take off your pants. Put them back on."
Why didn't you stop me when I was taking off my clothes? What kind of bad jokes... Jiang Che felt like he was already dead.
Ningguang took out something similar to a Feng Shui compass and said while turning it: "Your spirit has been traumatized, causing your faith to be shaken."
"I have read your recent mental feedback records. On the surface, it has indeed improved, but the actual situation cannot be determined, and even you yourself cannot be 100% sure."
"..." Jiang Che remained silent.
After this incident, his mentality has indeed changed. To put it bluntly... Jiang Che feels that his dark side may have been expanded. You can tell by putting on the mask of sin, but it is obviously impossible to do so.
After a while, small and soft golden threads appeared, connecting Ningguang's fingers with the surface of the compass.
Ningguang: "I will place a restriction on your body. It will not have any impact on you normally. It can even protect you when you are mentally attacked. However, once your spirit collapses and your will dissipates, I can directly use this restriction to protect you."
Erase you."
"Whether to accept?"
Jiang Che was a little confused: "Do I still have a choice?"
Ning Guang: "Yes, you are free to accept the restriction or not."
Jiang Che patted his belly and said, "Come on."
There is no harm in this restriction, and Jiang Che absolutely trusts the official judge.
The judge is like a dead soldier among dead soldiers. As long as he does not do anything that harms the country, this ban will only benefit him.
Ning Guang: "Be prepared, it will hurt a little."
Jiang Che: "Then please be gentle."
Ning Guang: "..."
after an hour.
Jiang Che had a golden mark on his forehead and belly respectively.
After the two marks were formed, they gradually faded and disappeared without any discomfort, and Jiang Che couldn't feel it either.
Instead, he was leaning against the wall, his breath was confused, and he looked exhausted.
Jiang Che poured a glass of water and handed it to Ningguang: "Thank you for your hard work."
Ningguang took the cup, glanced at Jiang Che, and said, "Yan Yibing has applied to his superiors a long time ago, requesting that a judge be sent to protect you."
Jiang Che moved slightly but didn't say anything, but he could understand the captain's intention.
Ningguang continued: "But this application was not approved."
Jiang Che: "Yeah."
Ningguang: "Only when you grow up can you better protect yourself. Otherwise, no matter how many judges you send, you will only be treating the symptoms but not the root cause."
Jiang Che nodded and said, "I understand."
Ningguang drank all the water in the cup and said, "Hong Ling and the others are here too."
Jiang Che: "They..."
"They're right outside."
Get out of the house.
Jiang Che saw the relieved Su Xiaojin, the smiling Zhu Yao, the tearful Cao Ji, the red-eyed Hong Ling, the pleased Su Jingshuo, Qin Li who was about to eat melon, and Jing Xiaolan who was holding pear blossoms with rain.
Nangong Xiaoxiao of snacks...
Jiang Che smiled: "Everyone...I'm back."
Everyone swarmed up and chattered around Jiang Che.
Hong Ling: "You scared me to death, don't you know? You really are! As long as it's okay, it's okay."
Zhu Yao: "I came to see you. Are you excited or happy?"
Su Kyung Suk: "You have grown a lot, which is great."
Qin Li: "You brat, do you know how many tears Hong Ling shed because of you?"
Hong Ling: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Jing Xiaolan: "Jiang, Jiang Che, are you okay?"
Nangong Xiaoxiao: "Hey! I'll give you half of my favorite snack!"
The captain and Xiao Yuan didn't come, but Jiang Che knew that Tianqing City needed someone to stay and protect it.
Zhuge Ye hasn't come back yet, but most of the mountain has been removed. Jiang Che believes that Zhuge Ye will not die in the mysterious world so easily.
Next, as long as he collects some treacherous objects specifically for the treacherous spirits, Xiao Man will definitely wake up.
Things are not as bad as imagined.
Su Xiaojin stood outside the crowd and looked at Jiang Che who was surrounded by everyone.
On the side, Cao Ji wiped his tears and looked at Su Xiaojin: "So you can also laugh."
Su Xiaojin: "..."
At this time, Su Xiaojin saw Ningguang walking out of the room.
She didn't attract anyone's attention, she just glanced at Jiang Che and the others.
'Once...forget it...'
Ning Guang walked toward the distance alone.
The lonely figure gradually disappeared from sight.
at this time.
Suddenly there was a very loud sound in the distance.
"There was a loud bang in the sky, and I made a shining appearance!"
