The end of the world begins with failing an exam

Chapter 212 They were killed by you, right?
Wood Private Consortium.

When these words fell into Chen Jing's ears, he immediately had a stress reaction.

Yes, he still can't forget how all this happened to him.

From the DV left by Chen Bofu.

From the stone tablet that Chen Bofu deciphered.

No... It should be from the Antarctic scientific research expedition in 1972, it was the scientific research project initiated by the "Wood Private Consortium", which made all this happen naturally.

"Huangfu is pregnant?" Chen Jing looked at the old man in front of him vigilantly, but felt that the name sounded a little out of character, and no matter how he heard it, he felt that it didn't match the old man in front of him.

At this moment, Qiao Youning came out of the kitchen with two cups of brewed hot tea, and placed them gracefully in front of Chen Jing and Huangfu Huaisui.

"Hello." Qiao Youning put the teacup on the table, greeted the old man politely, then turned to look at Chen Jing, "I'm going upstairs first, call me if you need anything."

Although the old man is the vice president of the [Ether Association], he is Qiao Youning's superior no matter what, but... Qiao Youning doesn't seem to have any respect for him.

After all, in Qiao Youning's eyes, joining the [Ether Association] is like working in a certain company, and it is really difficult to feel awe of the superior.

"Hello."

Huangfu was sitting on the sofa at his age, and he was not surprised to see this innocent girl appear, as if he knew beforehand that she lived in Chen Jing's house.

The old man didn't care about Qiao Youning's slightly cold and polite attitude.

After Qiao Youning left.

Only then did Huangfu Huaisui take a sip slowly from his teacup, then put down his teacup calmly and looked at Chen Jing, the faintly twitching corners of his mouth seemed to express some kind of pain.

"...Your family makes tea with [-] degrees of boiling water?"

"Hmm... is there something wrong with that?"

Chen Jing didn't notice that the old man's mouth was scalded, so he explained to himself with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"The tea bought at home is the cheapest kind, because we don't know how to drink tea, so we brew it randomly, don't mind."

"..."

Huangfu Huaisui was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, and he spoke again after about 2 minutes.

"I have a personal relationship with Grandpa Ni."

"I've never heard of this."

"We first met on the research ship going to Antarctica."

Huangfu Huaisui took out a cigar from his pocket, but he didn't light it, but slowly twirled it between his fingers like playing with a text.

"Your grandpa was a wonderful man."

"But I've heard he's just a college professor."

"Just?"

Huangfu Huaisui didn't seem to agree with Chen Jing's words, and smiled disapprovingly.

He didn't seem to want to explain too much to Chen Jing, he didn't talk too much about how the personal relationship with Chen Bofu started, but talked about what happened after that.

"After your grandfather returned to China, I have actually missed him all the time. If I can work with a stubborn scholar like him for a long time... it is actually a good thing."

"Are you sure?" Chen Jing asked back, not believing what the old man said.

"He is different from other scholars, he is much more pure and stupid, so dealing with him does not require too much intrigue, and he is also the only yellow-skinned professor in Miskatonic University, the same color as mine hahaha! !"

Huangfu Huaisui felt a little thirsty when he said this, so he picked up the hot teacup again, but this time he was very careful, blowing for ten seconds before he dared to put it in his mouth.

"That's why you made friends with him?"

Chen Jing felt a little unbelievable.

Although he still doesn't know the origin of Huangfu Huai Sui, but through the old man's current status as the vice president, and the fact that he led the scientific research team back then... it is not difficult to see that the old man should be a "big man" in a certain sense.

Powerful and wealthy.

How could such a character fall in love with an old pedant out of nowhere?
"You don't need those things to measure making friends." Huangfu Huaisui seemed to know what Chen Jing was doubting, so he explained, "I agree with some of his ideas. Even in that backward age, when we sat When drinking on the scientific research ship, he has already foreseen what the world will become..."

Speaking of this, Huangfu Huaisui fell into memory.

It seemed to feel the icy night wind on the sea again.

"At that time, I was a pure businessman, so my perspective on things was different from most people, especially the perspective on the world... I have always looked at this city that is being regarded by countless people with optimism. The 'gold mine' I discovered, I always feel that there are countless possibilities in the future."

As he said that, Huangfu Huaisui suddenly paused, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

"But your grandpa said, I think too much, and the future will not be good."

"Well, like me... No! I'm like him!" Chen Jingjing nodded, feeling that the old man's pessimistic attitude was exactly the same as his, and he was worthy of being a family.

"When I heard this, I wanted to throw him overboard, but he also drank too much, so..."

Huangfu Huaisui shook his head, the expression on his face became more and more strange.

"He said that the world is changing too fast... forests become cities, cities become forests, and these steel forests rising from the ground will eventually devour everyone's dreams and make everyone live like A machine without emotion or dignity."

Chen Jing looked at the steaming teacup in front of him, and didn't know what expression to put on to face the old man's narration.

"People will eventually fall into the abyss, and they will never recover. This is how this world eats up everyone bit by bit, and it will eventually die in a rotten state... To be honest, the future he described scares me. "

"Are you afraid because of this?" Chen Jing looked at the old man in disbelief.

"That's right, because this kind of world is too boring for me... I don't lack money, what I lack is fun." Huangfu Huai Sui smiled, "What's the point of a lifeless world without fun?"

Chen Jing couldn't understand the brain circuit of this old capitalist.

"Everyone has a purpose to make money, some are to support their families, some are to fight for power, but I... I just want to play sensuality and have fun in this world."

Huangfu Huaisui stopped at this point, because he suddenly remembered that there was something more important to say.

"Smith and the others didn't disappear, they were killed by you, right?"

When Huangfu Huaisui asked this sentence, he didn't care about the expression on Chen Jing's face, and continued to speak on his own.

"The stone tablet that your grandfather stole from Antarctica should have also fallen into your hands, but I don't care about it... I just want to ask you, whether Chen Bofu is dead or missing now, can you tell me?" I have a real answer?"
