Cheng An closed the computer, lay back on the chair, and stretched hard to relieve stress.
Done!
At this moment, the forum was completely exploding, but he no longer needed to pay special attention to it.
Whatever you think, how you guess, just let them develop.
The atmosphere has been set, and now comes the moment to test the imagination of the walkers.
"The authorities probably won't touch my identity as a kobold in the short term, but the investigation will not stop.
"They must want to follow the clues and find out the heel of the Five Elements Heaven force;
"This is obviously useless!
"Hey, who would have thought that the most extraordinary force in the world doesn't even have a single real member?
"The only kobold is myself... Bah, what kind of kobold, who named it.
"That's enough for now. The next star gate will be opened in three days. Then, I can take a proper rest."
Cheng An closed his eyes comfortably, thinking, and making preliminary plans.
At this time, the sun has set and the lanterns have begun to shine.
The university campus at night is peaceful, but not quiet.
To the west of the dormitory building is the snack street, with bursts of hawking, men and women chatting and laughing, mixed with the aroma of steaming, frying and cooking all kinds of food, drifting into the room, urging human salivary glands.
"Gu~ let's go have dinner first! That ground-pot chicken tastes so delicious!"
Cheng An stood up and decided to fill his stomach first.
It has been so many days since I was reborn, and I have never had a good meal in this life. All I had was instant noodles. It was so sad.
Just as he was about to go out, the phone rang.
When I saw the call, the remark displayed was "2B".
Shen Chunying? Didn’t I agree that I would take the initiative to contact them...
Cheng An frowned, waited for a moment, and then picked up.
"Hello? Are you okay?" Cheng An's tone was not very good.
"...Can't I call you if you have nothing to do?" Shen Chunying's voice was choked.
"If you have something to say, don't call me if you have nothing to do. Are you afraid that I won't die? Have you ever done this undercover and gone online?" Cheng An lowered his voice.
Shen Chunying was stunned for a while before whispering: "Have you already met the remnants of the Five Stones Society?"
"not yet."
"...Then where have you been these past few days?" Shen Chunying said coldly.
Cheng An thought for a while and said without any concealment: "The dormitory, um, there is also Baiyan Town, and Heping Town."
There are witnesses to this, and you can check it out if you want, so why not be more frank.
Bai Yan? He actually went again... Isn't he afraid of getting tired?
Wait, there is Peace Town, he also went to clear the plate???
Shen Chunying was taken aback and cursed this scoundrel for a long time in her heart.
"Is there anything else? I'll hang up if nothing happens." Cheng An urged when he saw that she didn't speak for a long time.
Shen Chunying took a deep breath: "The task is difficult, pay more attention to safety! Under any circumstances, give priority to protecting your own life! Do you understand?"
Oh, you're still pretending to be a boss who cares about the informant's life?
When Cheng An heard this, he laughed.
The first time you opened your mouth was to ask about the mission situation, now you are pretending to be a virgin, your acting skills are too bad!
However, he was too lazy to expose it and replied: "I know, I am actively working on things, but you also have to give me some time. I won't be able to contact people from the Five Stones Association so soon."
"How long will it take?" Shen Chunying asked subconsciously.
"At least two weeks, just wait for my news, that's it."
After saying that, without waiting for the other party to reply, Cheng An hung up the phone. Finally, he heard what sounded like angry cursing coming from the phone.
He raised his head and looked at the ceiling. There was some anger in his chest, which was suppressed in his heart.
This phone call was probably made by Yu Xiangtong.
The patience of the old detective seems to be very limited. The method has been arranged for you. If there is no progress for a few days, he comes to beat you...
"Hey, I'm really in a hurry."
Cheng An sneered.
It seems that the informant task at the police station needs to be properly advanced next.
Yu Xiangtong is not a rule-abiding person. If there is no progress, he will become suspicious and think that he is perfunctory and will be in more trouble later.
Therefore, it is necessary to break into the Nancheng Group and get close to their daughter Judy.
If you want to get close to Judy without being suspected, pretending to be Qian Tang, a master of martial arts, to gather the remnants of the Five Stones Society. This is the only feasible way.
"Set a small goal and break into the Five Stones Association within half a month.
"It can't be too fast. For example, He Qiancao accidentally provoked the people behind them this time. The progress is too fast. This will directly make Yu Xiangtong push forward and ask me to continue to speed up the progress..."
"Of course, the main reason is that there may be martial arts masters other than Qian Tang in the Five Stones Association, and I am currently facing Chuanwu masters who must transform to defeat them. This is too dangerous.
"After next week, after experiencing the third star gate, I hope to further understand and digest the magic potion.
"Ha, after all, I am still too weak! Otherwise..."
Cheng An lowered his head, frowned, and gradually clenched and unclenched his fists.
The weak will be controlled by others;
Only by being strong can you be free.
This is an eternal truth.
This phone call made Cheng An's sense of crisis worse, and he no longer felt like going out to find delicious food.
He directly boiled a pot of water, cooked a pack of instant noodles, and ate it alone in the dormitory.
His face was slightly warm, but his heart was getting colder and colder.
There were people outside the window, filled with laughter and laughter.
The fun is theirs, Cheng An has nothing.
No relatives, no reasons, no worries.
Only loneliness and madness are companions.
…
…
Just then.
Another call came in, the note was "Mom".
Cheng An was stunned for a moment, then slowly picked up: "Hello, Mom?"
The person speaking on the other end of the phone was a middle-aged and elderly man with a mellow and gentle voice, with some hidden fatigue:
"Xiao An, it's me. Your mother has gone to take a bath."
"Oh." Cheng An continued the original owner's temper, without much emotion in his tone, and even simulated some appropriate impatience.
"have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
"what did you eat."
"Eat from the cafeteria, boiled meat slices and cabbage." Cheng An looked at the leftover instant noodle soup, his face unchanged.
"Oh, eat more and you will be stronger. Your mother and I are fine. We just want to give you a call. The weather has cooled down. Please wear more clothes."
"OK."
"How many days will you and Yiyi be back during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Um, Mid-Autumn Festival... Cheng An took a look and found that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is on September 27th. According to the rules of star gate travel, he should be in the "return period" at that time.
"Let's stay one night and be busy writing the paper." Cheng An explained.
"Oh, okay, while you are at school, take more care of your sister. Do you have enough money? If not, just call us."
"good."
Father Cheng chattered a few more words and then hung up the phone.
…
They are a really simple couple.
pity.
Cheng An shook his head silently and prepared to drink the rest of the noodle soup.
Didi didi~
Another call came in.
This time it's an unknown number.
"Hello, who's there?" Cheng An picked up and asked.
"Oh, is this classmate Cheng An? I'm Zhang Shusheng." An old man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"professor Zhang?"
"It's me. I mentioned to you last time that I'm going to leave tomorrow for outdoor archaeological exploration. How about it? Have you thought about it? Are you interested in following me?" Zhang Shusheng asked with a smile.
Departing tomorrow?
Archeology is a way to increase his knowledge, so he is naturally willing to do it.
But thinking that the Star Gate would be opened at twelve o'clock in the evening on the 20th, and worried that he would not be able to make it in time, Cheng An hesitated again.
Cheng An thought for a while and asked: "Professor Zhang, what are the specific time arrangements?"
Zhang Shusheng said: "We will set off at eight o'clock tomorrow morning and stay in Wacun. You can camp there. We will come back after lunch on the 19th the day after tomorrow."
That was just enough time.
Cheng An's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, I'll join. Where will we meet tomorrow?"
"Let's go to the main entrance to the north of the school. Remember to prepare some basic tools for camping in the wild. This is a basic skill for archeology students."
"I will, see you tomorrow, professor!"
Cheng An put down his phone and lay on the bed expressionlessly.
After a while, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, forming a smile.
After his rebirth until now, he has hardly relaxed for a moment.
Weird dreams, life and death crises.
The pressure is huge and the spirit is tense. Either we are fighting wits or courage, or we are risking our lives.
But now, this kind of relationship between relatives without any entanglement of interests, this kind of purely academic exchange activity, allowed Cheng An to find a moment of peace.
At this time, Cheng An will feel like he is alive as a human being.
Rather than a poor guy who is chased by death all the time.
