The end of the world starts with failing the exam

Chapter 24 The moon closed its eyes

When Chen Jing arrived at Wei Nan's house, he smelled the smell of blood before he even entered the door. He could still vaguely hear the sound of someone hammering the floor in the dark room.

"Boss?"

Chen Jing walked in carefully with the bag in hand and didn't stop until the end of the entrance hall.

Since there were no lights in the house, only the white moonlight was reflected through the balcony at this moment, making the messy living room look particularly dim.

Wei Nan hugged her knees and squatted in the corner of the living room without saying a word. From the moment Chen Jing walked into the room, she always turned her back to Chen Jing, as if she didn't want to deal with this liar.

"Boss?"

Chen Jing cautiously walked to Wei Nan and casually glanced at the bumpy floor beside her. He remembered that there were no such uneven holes when he came here last time. They should have just been smashed by Boss Wei... …

What was used to smash it?

Probably a fist.

Chen Jing looked at the fist marks in one of the pits and suddenly wondered if it was not good for him to apologize when Wei Nan was so angry...

"Get out." Wei Nan hugged his knees and moved his butt in, still unwilling to turn around and look at him.

"Actually, this was a mistake...forget it, I admit that I did lie to you at the beginning, I'm sorry."

Hearing Chen Jing's words, Wei Nan had no reaction. Maybe he really didn't want to pay attention to him.

"The main reason is that you scared me when we first met... If I told you that I was Chen Boxu's grandson... you would probably strangle me to death on the spot..."

"I don't dare." Wei Nan said coldly. He continued to hug his knees and face the wall. He said without looking back, "Who are you? You are Chen Boxu's grandson. If others dare to kill you, I don't dare." .”

"I only lied to you about this, and I didn't lie to you about anything else..." Chen Jing explained at a loss.

"As long as you lie to me, nothing will work." Wei Nan said expressionlessly, "Besides this, do you have anything else important that you need to lie to me about?"

Chen Jing thought for a while and couldn't help but say.

"I really want to be friends with you!"

"..."

At this point, Wei Nan finally turned around and glared at Chen Jing viciously.

"I told you I don't want friends!"

"I know, but... are you hungry?" Chen Jing saw that her mood had eased, and he quickly took advantage of the victory and placed two bags of food on the ground, "Have you not eaten yet? How about we eat something together?"

Wei Nan glared at Chen Jing again. She was about to lose her temper when Chen Jing came to apologize, but when she heard that he was coaxing her like a child, she immediately became angry.

"I will not eat!"

"Eat, eat, eat, eat..."

Chen Jing acted as if he didn't hear anything, squatting on the ground to unpack the lunch box, and took the initiative to help Wei Nan get a pair of chopsticks and handed them to her, muttering, "Eat as much as you can. Only when you are full can you have the strength to attack me..." …”

It wasn't until Wei Nan took the chopsticks angrily that Chen Jing dared to raise his eyes and look at her secretly.

Ok.

He didn't seem so angry anymore.

It seems that I still have a talent for making friends!

"I'll dig out your eyeballs again!" Wei Nan made a threatening gesture with his chopsticks. His eyes were red as if he had cried not long ago.

"Just dig it, as long as you don't get angry!"

Hearing Chen Jing's shameless words, Wei Nan couldn't help but hit him on the forehead with chopsticks, which immediately caused a red dot on his forehead.

It looks quite auspicious.

"I hate it when people lie to me..." Wei Nan said, then lowered his head and looked at the chopsticks handed over by Chen Jing, his tone became a little disappointed, "No matter what happens in the future, don't lie to me... Otherwise I will really I will hate you to death..."

"It was an accident this time. I didn't want it..." Chen Jing scratched his head and explained helplessly, "When I went to deliver the receipt to Yan Que, I reported my family name openly and I didn't deceive anyone... …”

"Oh?"

In an instant, Chen Jing realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

It’s not good to mention anyone but Yan Que.

That is the neighbor that Wei Nan dislikes the most...

"You didn't even lie to her, you just lied to me?" Wei Nan clenched the chopsticks in his hand, "In your eyes, am I not as good as that crazy bitch Yan Que?"

"Boss, can we please be reasonable..." Chen Jing said earnestly.

Wei Nan raised his hand and struck it with chopsticks again, causing Chen Jing to have a red dot on his forehead.

"I'm not good at reasoning!"

"..."

"Why do you want to be friends with me?" Wei Nan suddenly asked.

At this moment, countless false compliments ran through Chen Jing's mind, but thinking that he had just promised her not to lie to her again, he finally decided to tell the truth.

"You are very loyal," Chen Jing said.

"Well, I believe this reason. It turns out that my friends all said that I..."

When he mentioned his past friends, Wei Nan's face suddenly dimmed. He gently inserted his chopsticks into the rice in the lunch box a few times and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.

"You know why I don't want to make friends?"

After Chen Jing heard the old man talk about Wei Nan's past, he probably already had the answer in his heart, but now he couldn't open his mouth.

"I don't know... tell me?"

"Because I'm crazy."

Wei Nan suddenly raised his head and stared directly at Chen Jing, a hint of imperceptible pain flashing through his scarlet eyes.

"I like killing people."

"Well... my hobbies are quite special."

"No, it's not a hobby. I don't know how to explain it to you... I get sick when I get emotional!"

Wei Nan subconsciously clenched her chopsticks, and every word she spoke seemed to come out from between her teeth.

"When I'm sick, I attack every living thing I see..."

"You won't be sick now, will you?"

"I won't do it now...I haven't had an illness for several years...Actually, you don't have to be afraid..."

Wei Nan was secretly looking at Chen Jing as he spoke. Seeing that he was neither scared nor surprised after hearing her story, but still smiled gently and helped her pick up the food, she felt a little touched in her heart.

But the time left for her to be moved was only about two seconds.

"Actually, I don't think there's anything to be afraid of. If you lose control, I'll run home and hide, or I'll ask the old man to beat you up and wake you up."

"..."

"It's okay, let's eat quickly."

Chen Jing gave Wei Nan a piece of ribs that was so braised that it fell off the bone. It seemed that he didn't take Wei Nan's words to heart at all and still smiled very gently.

"This is delicious!"

Wei Nan grunted angrily, threw the fragrant ribs into his mouth and chewed them fiercely.

"You're not me. You don't understand how terrifying that feeling is. I was conscious when I killed them, but I couldn't control myself..."

At this point, Wei Nan suddenly realized that he seemed a little stupid. It was completely meaningless to say this to such a pampered young master.

"never mind."

Wei Nan turned away angrily, not wanting to look at the smiling face that would make her want to punch him.

"You can't understand what I'm saying at all..."

"I can imagine."

There was a hint of distress in Chen Jing's eyes, his voice was very soft, and his tone was more serious than ever.

"I have also lost a close relative. Although she did not die because of me, my guilt for her should be similar to the guilt you feel..."

Wei Nan stopped talking, just glanced at Chen Jing, then lowered his head and ate the food absentmindedly.

After a while, Wei Nan suddenly spoke, seemingly still sighing.

"I thought that old madman's grandson was also a madman, but I didn't expect that you look quite normal, much more pleasing to the eye than that old thing..."

"You haven't seen me before?" Chen Jing couldn't help but asked curiously, thinking that Wei Nan was also an old resident of this community, so he should have some impression of "himself".

"I like to stay at home and don't like to go out to meet people." Wei Nan shrugged very calmly, "I've only heard of you."

"No wonder." Chen Jing smiled and said, "Before we met, you must have thought that I was as crazy as my grandfather."

"No!" Wei Nan nodded, his tone was very serious, "I thought you were just like your grandfather, the kind of vicious person who would eat children with a glare, but now it seems... you don't look like your grandfather at all. species."

"Why do you sound like you are scolding me..." Chen Jing scratched his head helplessly.

"I'm praising you!" Wei Nan took a piece of fried chicken from Chen Jing's bowl, stuffed it directly into his mouth, chewed it, and said inarticulately, "Looking at the weakling like you, I guess you haven't even killed anyone. …”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Nan found that Chen Jing suddenly lost his voice and looked at the food without saying a word, as if in a daze.

"Why don't you say anything? Does it hurt your heart?" Wei Nan subconsciously raised his hand to slap Chen Jing and asked cautiously.

"no……"

Chen Jing sat cross-legged with the dilapidated balcony behind him. The foggy white moonlight outside the window cast in, making his always smiling face flicker, making it hard to see clearly.

"I just think you're a good judge of people."

"That's right!" Wei Nan was proud of the viciousness of his eyes and hummed, "You're such a little bully, so long as you don't get bullied by others!"

"The boss is right."

Chen Jing touched his face subconsciously, and suddenly felt that this harmless face was really useful, and his smile suddenly became brighter.

"From now on, with the boss protecting me, no one will dare to bully me."

"It's a joke. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, tell me and I'll beat their brains out... But then again, can you always bring me food in the future?"

Chen Jing looked at the widened dog eyes and nodded without hesitation.

"can."

"Great! This way I can use the money saved to buy games in the future..." Wei Nan was so moved that she almost burst into tears. She grabbed Chen Jing's shoulders and shook them, "You are my little angel." !”

"You don't have to be so excited..."

Suddenly, an extremely desolate roar came from the depths of the city. The terrifying roar, like a howling wind, shook the glass windows of the balcony to a hum, and even Chen Jing felt the floor tremble.

“What’s barking??”

Chen Jing couldn't help but stood up and looked through the balcony glass window in the direction of the roar.

That weird sound was obviously not a natural wind roar, it should have been made by some kind of creature!

"A redeemer, what else could it be..."

Wei Nan was no stranger to the weird roars in the city, and even thought that Chen Jing was a bit rare and strange. After all, for every resident of Yongye Market, this kind of roar was proof of the safety of the moon festival.

"The fog has cleared..."

At this moment, Chen Jing suddenly discovered that the fog shrouding the city had dissipated, and the city called "Eternal Night" had never been so truly reflected in his eyes.

He had thought the city would live up to its name.

Everlasting night.

Shrouded in the endless night.

Whether it's a suburb, a city or a wasteland.

Everything as far as the eye can see is obscured by mist.

But this moment...

Chen Jing found that the fog with visibility no more than 200 meters had cleared.

This Evernight City, shrouded in mist like a forest and densely populated with buildings, had never made him see it so clearly...

The densely packed pigeon towers of reinforced concrete and some weird wooden buildings complement each other in the city. Only registered buses are running fast on the wide and empty streets.

The banks of the "Moonlight River" that runs through Yong Night Market are covered with giant plants that are as dense as reeds. Whenever the shrill evening wind blows, their huge and slender bodies will collide with each other and make rustling sounds.

In Chen Jing's slightly short memory.

The city called Eternal Night has never been so bright.

It was as if that strange celestial body in the sky had turned into a sun in a sense.

The bright moonlight became more and more dazzling, and the cold moonlight was like a white invisible flame, swallowing up the entire city in an instant, causing it to begin to burn silently...

Chen Jing couldn't help but raise his head and look at the moon that remained unchanged for thousands of years.

"So this is the month of worship..." Chen Jing was horrified.

At this moment, the indescribable celestial body has closed its terrifying one eye, and the mouth that almost spans the entire equator of the moon has also changed its shape. The upward corners of the mouth gradually lowered, revealing an extremely human expression, angry and irritable. .

"Look, the redeemers have come ashore."

Hearing Wei Nan's words, Chen Jing quickly looked away and looked far away in the direction of Wei Nan's finger.

He didn't understand until now.

What kind of creature made those terrifying roars before?

Those were dozens of behemoths that were thirty or forty stories high!

Their bodies are like enlarged "stick figures", with an extremely simple structure and particularly distinct limbs.

It was actually made up of the heads of countless species of creatures connected in series with rusty iron chains...

Under the cold and bright moonlight, those giant creatures called "Atones" gradually walked out of the "Moonlight River" as wide as the sea.

It's like an evil spirit escaping from hell back to the Yang world.

As those heads let out deafening roars of terror, they began to wander around the empty streets of Yongye City...

"Hey, why are you dazed?"

Wei Nan suddenly patted Chen Jing's shoulder from behind, and the smile on his face was as bright as the night.

Without waiting for Chen Jing's response, she took the initiative to hook her arms around Chen Jing's neck and laughed at the moon with its one eye tightly closed in the sky.

"Ah Jing! Happy Moon Festival!"
