Double O swap life!

Light gray clouds loomed low, almost touching the protective gel layer, and the water vapor continued to gather, brewing a thunderstorm.

The first drop of rain may fall in the next second, and it may take a long time to wait.

Chen Nian gracefully got into the car with a short body, and sat down where no one was paying attention.

He closed the car door, and Shaffley, who was wearing a black suit, looked at Chen Nian and asked, "How does it feel to be in class for the first time?"

"It's okay, let's do a little quiz."

"How is the result?"

"Passed." Chen Nian was quite satisfied, at least he filled in most of the blanks correctly, with a full score of 150, and a 96 in the exam is not bad.

His clever mind hasn't betrayed him yet. He said he forgot what he learned earlier, but he can almost remember part of it after looking at the topic for a while.

Although Chu Xun was stunned for a while when he saw the paper, it was obviously not bad!no!He hasn't read a book for seven or eight months, so it's great to be able to pass the exam like this!

Seeing him like this, Shafele knew in his heart that if he did well in the exam, Chen Nian would definitely show off, but he only said that if he passed, he would just float in the sky.

Chen Nian is as smart as Chen Ci, but this kind of cleverness is used elsewhere. If Chen Nian is willing to calm down and study hard, he may not be worse than Chen Ci.

Shafele was silent for two seconds, resisting the awkwardness in his heart, and asked again: "Where is the new teacher?"

Chen Nian said briskly: "It's pretty good, he's an honest cultural person, although he's not too handsome, but he's surprisingly good after watching him for a long time."

When Shaffley heard the answer, he had a heart attack.

Chen Nian patted him on the shoulder trustingly: "Your vision is pretty good. It just so happens that I don't have this type of Alpha around me, and now I have completed it. If you see other suitable candidates in the future, remember to recommend them to me."

Shaffley: ………

Shaffley didn't know why he suddenly wanted to vomit blood.

His stomach started to hurt again, obviously he had never had similar symptoms before.

Completing the Alpha type that I have never seen before, is Chen Nian collecting stamps!

The eldest prince's entire face was wrinkled. Chen Nian noticed his distorted expression, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, but my stomach hurts a little." Shaffley took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort forcibly.

Chen Nian handed over the water glass thoughtfully: "Drink more hot water."

He returned to him exactly what Shaffery had said a month ago.

It was also at this time that Shaffley realized that this perfectly normal reassurance and suggestion turned out to be quite speechless.

If he hadn't experienced it himself, he might not have realized it in his life.

"...Thank you." Shaffley took the cup and took two sips.

The warm water flowed down the esophagus and into the stomach, making it feel better quickly.

"How long will it take?" Chen Nian asked.

Shaffley: "About 40 minutes."

Today is Monday, which is also the anniversary of Marshal Chen Wei's death. He and Chen Nian will go to the Invalides to pay homage to Marshal.

Shafele had long known that Chen Nian had no feelings for his father whom he had never met. The boy who grew up in the dungeon seemed affectionate, but he was actually the most heartless one.

Many of the actions Chen Nian made were for "fun". Seeing many heaven's favorites being played with in the palm of his hand would give Chen Nian a sense of accomplishment and happiness.

The most indispensable thing in the aristocratic circle is all kinds of courtesans. Shaffley alone knows that two hands can’t count. Omega exudes her own charm, wandering among the rich and powerful, betraying her youth and beauty. Like clinging, in exchange for glory and wealth.

But Chen Nian was different.

He doesn't ask for any benefits that the ambiguous relationship can bring him. For Chen Nian, it's just a way to kill time.

Although Shaffley couldn't understand it, he could feel it.

In this world, has Chen Nian ever been sincere to anyone?Even the slightest.

Shafflet reminded: "After all, it is a sacrifice, you must pay attention to it, he is your father."

"I-know-know-" Chen Nian dragged his voice deliberately, "Am I so unreliable in your heart? I'm also very good at winking, okay?"

Shaffley: "Just a reminder."

Shafele took the bouquet beside him and handed it to Chen Nian:

"Go to the marshal's tomb first and give him flowers. It will take about ten minutes. If you have anything to say, you can tell the marshal. After that, we will go to the Invalides together. I will take you to see the former residence of the marshal."

Chen Nian snorted: "Father, did he live in the Invalides before?"

Shaffery: "The Les Invalides is a place for disabled soldiers to recuperate. The Marshal was injured in his left leg in the Battle of the Great Caucasus Ridge, and he also recuperated here."

Chen Nian understood that it was normal for soldiers to be injured in the war. He looked down at the bouquet in his arms. The fiery red kapok seemed to be dyed with fearless hot blood, with two or three white carnations sandwiched between them.

He is both a hero to all mankind and his father.

He closed his eyes and sniffed, the faint fragrance lingered faintly.

Two small raindrops appeared on the window.

Shafelei was still the first to get out of the car, and he went around to the other side to open the car door for Chen Nian.

Chen Nian hugged the bouquet and got out of the car. The fiery red hibiscus became the brightest color in the gloomy world.

The princess and concubine dressed in pure white, and accompanied by the eldest prince, entered the Invalides, passed through the hall of the building, and entered the cemetery behind.

The rain fell on Chen Nian's hair and shoulders, and Shaffley held up a black umbrella to cover the two of them.

Walking on the main road of the cemetery, Chen Nian couldn't help but look at the many black tombstones beside him. The names carved there used to be fresh lives. They died under the poison or sharp teeth of primitive creatures, but there was More remained in the sea forever, and the corpses became food in the belly.

Shafele led Chen Nian to make a turn, they entered the path, and stopped in front of the sixth tomb.

The word "Chen Wei" was simply written on the black stone tablet.

Compared with the marshal's many achievements during his lifetime, it is too simple.

But this was Chen Wei's own arrangement. From the day he graduated from the military academy, he wrote in his diary that if he died, he would not need to write anything on the tombstone except his name.

Chen Nian knelt down and placed the bouquet in front of the tomb.

The rain meandered along the tombstone and fell on the petals of kapok. Chen Nian took the veil from Shaffley's hand and carefully wiped off the dust on the tombstone.

Chen Nian said that he had no feelings for his father, but now that he actually arrived at the tomb, he still felt uncomfortable in his chest.

After wiping all the tombstones clean, Chen Nian stood up, but he remained silent, unable to speak a word.

For a long time, Chen Nian thought he was abandoned. As long as he could remember, he was burned beyond recognition. The housekeeper took him around, hiding like a mouse.

During the hard work, only Chen Nian and Jiang Dai knew it.

He regards Jiang Dai as his real father, and now he finally knows the truth. Rationally, he understands that no one wants to see the accident that year, but emotionally, he still cannot accept it so smoothly.

"I am back."

In the end, Chen Nian only said this sentence. He pursed his lips and remained silent, looking at the leaden sky in the distance.

His eyes were very dry, and he couldn't squeeze tears, but he felt uncomfortable.

Countless black tombstones stood quietly in the lush courtyard, drenched by rain.

Shaffley raised his hand and gently placed it on Chen Nian's shoulder.

The rain was getting heavier and it was crackling on the umbrella surface. Shaffery still kept a polite distance from Chen Nian, half of his shoulders were inevitably wet.

Chen Nian stood for more than ten minutes, then looked back at Shaffley.

Shaffley understood what he meant, and whispered: "Let's go."

Chen Nian nodded, and took one last look at the tombstone.

——Sorry, Dad, I don't know what to say to you.

Chen Nian and Shaffley turned around together, but unexpectedly caught a glimpse of another figure under the tree in the distance.

General Goods stood alone. He was also holding a black umbrella and his military uniform was straight. Seeing Chen Nian and Shaffley, he nodded towards them.

The falling rain blurred his vision, Chen Nian couldn't see Alpha's expression clearly, but it should be as serious as ever.

He was a former subordinate of his father, so it was normal to come to pay respects.

They didn't go over to say hello. Accompanied by Shaffley, Chen Nian left the cemetery and entered the main building of the Invalides again.

Shaffley took the umbrella and handed it to the staff on the side.

He was careful not to let Chen Nian get wet, half of his shoulders were wet, and Shaffley didn't care, he was not that delicate.

Shaffley agreed to Chen Nian's visit to the Invalides, and then to the Marshal's former residence.

All the soldiers recuperated here were seriously injured or disabled due to the war. Chen Nian walked on the promenade and glanced at the lounge with the open door, and saw two shriveled trouser legs.

The owner of the trouser legs was sitting on the sofa. He was tall and handsome, and quite young, but in his early thirties, he was definitely a very popular Omega Alpha on the outside.

The supposedly slender and strong legs were only ten centimeters long, and the shriveled trouser legs that would normally be tied up were untied and folded into other shapes for fun.

Several soldiers were sitting together, chatting comfortably while watching the TV series on the virtual screen.

Some of them lost an arm, some had only one ear, or had their spleen removed, but without exception, they were all young.

Shaffley raised his hand and knocked on the door, and all of them looked towards the door in an instant.

Chen Nian was not ready yet, so he once again became the focus of attention.

The soldiers recognized Shaffley, so it was not difficult to guess the identity of the young man next to the First Prince.

"Your Highness." They stood up one after another and were about to salute.

"You don't have to be so polite, just sit down." Shaffley pressed the damaged shoulder of one of them, and pushed him on the seat. "Come to pay respects to the marshal today, so come and have a look."

Everyone in the Invalides knew that today was the anniversary of Chen Wei's death. Later, the soldiers would go to pay their respects together.

After all, it should be his closest child who sent the marshal the bouquet first.

Shaffery asked how they were living at Les Invalides and whether their families were protected.

His tone was calm, without the air of an eldest prince, it was more like chatting with everyone than expressing condolences.

It was the first time Chen Nian saw Shaffley like this.

Chen Nian deliberately teased him, made fun of him, and took pleasure from him, but Shaffley never said anything.

He dishonestly stepped on his feet under the dining table, deliberately held his arm to repel the Omega with ulterior motives, and saw his body restrained when he was immersed in work.

These are just tsavorites in private.

When he got serious, Chen Nian couldn't take his eyes off unexpectedly.

The soldiers were chatting with Shaffley, and still unconsciously glanced at Chen Nian. This was the marshal's only son. They could occasionally see the boy standing in front of the tombstone on the day of his death, but they rarely had close contact with him.

It is an honor to finally meet face-to-face.

Although Young Master Chen Ci has little resemblance to the marshal in appearance, his handsome temperament is so outstanding. If the marshal knows Izumi, he must be very pleased to see that his child is in harmony with the young and promising eldest prince.

Chen Nian couldn't get in the way, and he didn't really want to talk, playing the image of taciturn.

He has been living in the dungeon for a long time. The solid outer wall blocks the outside world, and he can only see a little bit through the glass curtain wall at the border.Jiang Dai took him to move around, but he never went to the place closest to the bottom, so Chen Nian had no chance to see the sea with his own eyes.

The day Shaffery took him to the Arboretum was the first time.

He only saw the magnificence and magnificence, and the sparkling light stretched into the distance, like colorful translucent candy wrappers.

It turned out that the sea that surrounded them from all directions... was so terrifying.

He had seen descriptions of wars in history books, and they were nothing more than heroic battles with many casualties.

But Chen Nian didn't realize until today that those cold numbers were all living people. They lost their limbs, organs and facial features, and became "1" in the wounded statistics, which continued to accumulate.

Shafelai took Chen Nian to other lounges to express his condolences. On the way, he whispered to Chen Nian: "You can also say a few words, don't be afraid of saying the wrong thing, they will be very happy knowing that you are the child of Marshal Chen Wei. .”

This time, Chen Nian was not arguing with Shaffley. He obediently followed Shaffley's suggestion, learning what Alpha said before, and asked many wounded and sick people.

Condolences were more tiring than Chen Nian imagined.

This exhaustion is not physical, but from the mind.

He has also seen many people with severed arms and legs in the dungeon. After all, the suffering inside Cinnabar is much more than that at the top, but the damage caused by the war is far more terrifying.

The toxins of the primitive creatures even corroded them to the point where they were inhuman, but they were still alive, and Cinnabar gave them the highest honor and recuperated in the Invalides Hospital.

I have seen so much suffering and misery in a short period of time that no one can bear it.

Although Chen Nian couldn't see any complaints on the faces of these soldiers, they accepted their broken bodies because they were fighting to defend human beings.

It was noon soon, and Chen Nian and Shafelai had eaten in the cafeteria. There was hardly a healthy and normal person in the cafeteria, but Chen Nian was no longer afraid.

Chen Nian, like other soldiers, ate up the food on the plate, got up and brought it to the receiving place in person.

Shaffley: "Let's go, I'll take you to the Marshal's room."

The place where Chen Wei used to live was on the third floor of the Invalides, an unremarkable room in the corridor on the left.

The room has long been sealed, and only when it is cleaned will special personnel be sent in, trying to preserve the appearance of the Marshal when he was alive.

Shaffley got the access card and opened the door.

The room is less than [-] square meters, with a bed, a table, a chair, a cupboard, and a separate bathroom.

It couldn't be more ordinary.

When Chen Nian came to the table, someone would come to clean it every week. The table was clean and tidy without a trace of dust. He put his hands on the edge of the table and looked forward.

The table is facing the window, the sun will shine in in the afternoon, and you can see the most beautiful sunset.

It is also possible to trace the traces of rainwater flowing on the glass on rainy days like today, and the eyes are blurred into large patches of thick and light color blocks in the distance.

Shaffley stretched out his hand to open the window, and the moist wind poured in, making the air in the room more fresh.

Chen Nian was also able to see the scenery outside the window. From here, he could directly see the cemetery below, and Gudes was no longer there.

The whole room is in a simple style, and the quilts are neatly folded into tofu cubes and placed on the head of the bed.

Chen Nian looked around, but there was nothing special about it.

"Can I open a drawer or a wardrobe?"

"Yes, this is your father's room."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian opened the desk drawers one by one, and inside were some small objects that Chen Wei had used before his death.

In the closet are the military uniforms and uniforms that Chen Wei wore, and there is a big box at the bottom.

Without further ado, Chen Nian dragged the box out. The box had an old metal lock, and the lock had long since disappeared.

He lifted the lid of the box, and there were many papers inside.

"This is the manuscript left by the Marshal. It's all about tactical arrangements."

Shafelet said that after Chen Wei's death, all the things he left behind were checked countless times, and all the manuscripts were backed up electronically before the originals were left in the box.

Chen Nian flipped through it with his hand, and pulled out a hardcover notebook from the middle.

He squatted on the ground, opened a page casually, and saw many complicated structural diagrams drawn with pencils on it, looking at the outline... like some kind of fish?

But it's too strange, what kind of fish will grow like this!

Next to the image, it says "Jimeng".

Chen Nian: "What is this?"

Shaffley explained: "Neptune Emperor Jimeng, named after the Classic of Mountains and Seas, had a face-to-face photo with the Marshal in the Golden Triangle waters 27 years ago."

Chen Nian doesn't know much about primitive creatures. He only knows that the Sea Emperor is the title of the most powerful group of primitive creatures. There are many of them, distributed in different sea areas, and they will compete for territory with each other.

This sea emperor named Ji Meng has two fish tails, a triangular head that is completely mechanized, a body that is flat, spread out like a carpet, and can be curled, with fine and dense tentacles growing at the end, and several cannons are actually covered on its back.

The combination of biology and machinery has become a grotesque beyond imagination.

Chen Nian was amazed, and continued to turn backwards.

Most of Chen Wei's encounters with these creatures were quite brief. The huge primitive creatures were hidden under the sea surface, and electronic equipment could not take clear images. If they went deep into the seabed to take pictures, they would be swallowed by the primitive creatures in a blink of an eye, and the parts would be used for their own use. .

The only way is to rely on spiritual power to explore, outline the real outline, and then reproduce it.

Chen Wei's mental strength is extremely high, and his painting skills are good. During these days of recuperating from his injuries, he drew many primitive creatures he met, most of which were never seen before, and were printed in textbooks and became valuable research materials .

Strange to say, through these pictures, Chen Nian seems to be able to see Chen Wei sitting at the table and concentrating on drawing through the scene of more than 20 years.

Obviously he has never met his father.

Chen Nian flipped through the pages, and the strange appearance of primitive creatures always amazed him. It was trivial to combine them with heavy weapons. Some things looked more like aircraft carriers capable of diving, with countless small primitive creatures living on their bodies.

Are they a whole, or separate?

Chen Wei didn't give an answer, he just recorded what he had detected.

"Can I take this back to read?" Chen Nian raised his head and asked, "If it's inconvenient, you can give me a photocopy."

Shaffley: "I'll ask later."

Chen Nian got up from the ground and sat on the edge of the bed. He planned to take a good look at it first.

Shaffley sat on the only chair in the room, looked at the boy quietly for a while, and suddenly said, "Chen Nian, what are your plans next?"

"What's the plan?" Chen Nian didn't raise his head.

"What do you want to do in the days to come." Shaffley paused and explained, "One must have a goal in life."

Only then did Chen Nian raise his head, and he thought for a while: "Hmm... find a suitable partner?"

Shaffley shook his head: "That doesn't count. I mean your own life, which has nothing to do with others. What kind of improvement you want to make and what kind of ideal you want to achieve."

ideal?Chen Nian really didn't think about it.

In the underground city, since he was a child, he wanted to earn a lot of money as soon as possible to treat Jiang Dai's illness. After graduating from high school, he naturally chose the job with the fastest money.

Now that Jiang Dai's illness has been resolved, and his concerns over the years have been resolved smoothly, what will happen next?What to do next?

"I don't know." Chen Nian said honestly, but Shafele confused him.

"Why do you want to think about this? In ten days or so, I'm going to switch back with Chen Ci, and what should I do in the dungeon afterwards."

"Don't you want to get back your original identity?"

"Uncle Jiang refused." Chen Nian said, "Although I don't know why, Uncle Jiang must be doing it for my own good."

As one of the few people who knew the truth, Shaffley knew the reason why Jiang Dai had been concealing Chen Nian's identity—Jiang Dai didn't want Chen Nian to undergo the same "physical examination" as Chen Ci.

Hiding and concealing it will definitely not work. As Chen Wei's blood, Chen Nian should have gotten more.

It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. After enjoying the top-level luxury life, can Chen Nian really go back to the dungeon without complaint?

Shaffley also did not want the situation that Jiang Dai was worried about to happen. He has been collecting information for several years and trying every means to solve the problems faced by the petition.

As time goes by, Ashes will be finally controlled. According to the epidemiological forecast and the deduction made by Cinnabar, the day when it finally comes will not be too long.

Shaffley: "Don't worry about whether to give in or not, just say whether you want to or not."

Chen Nian said without hesitation: "Of course I want to. Who doesn't want to live a life without worrying about food and clothing, and still be able to see the sky and the sun every day."

Shafele said softly: "Sooner or later, you will be aboveboard, appear in front of everyone as Chen Nian, and return to the life you should have."

"I know that you have been used to thinking in a dungeon way for so many years, but there are still countless days to come, and the transition will inevitably be painful, but I want you to be mentally prepared to adapt to this process as soon as possible."

——Living on the top floor as Chen Nian?

Chen Nian really didn't think about this possibility. For him, meeting Chen Ci and enjoying a life as Chen Ci that he didn't even dare to think about before is already the greatest luck in his life.

Everything Shafele said made sense, Chen Nian thought for a while, now he plays here all day, making trouble there is really very happy.

But judging from Chen Nian's understanding of himself, it won't take long for him to get bored, just like he was tired of the Alphas who surrounded him once.

Before Chen Nian didn't think there was a problem, it was because he felt that this kind of exchange wouldn't last too long, and wouldn't last long enough for him to get tired of playing.

He would still return to life in the dungeons.

But Shafele offered him another possibility, a possibility of continuing to stay at the top.

If, if one day, he is really tired of playing, what will he do next?

Chen Nian frowned and thought for half a minute, his mind was empty.

Shafele waited quietly for his answer, which made Chen Nian feel a little embarrassed, so he said:

"Don't just talk about me, what about you? What is your goal?"

"I serve Cinnabar." Shaffley said calmly, "I do my best to improve my programming ability to ensure the normal operation of Cinnabar. If necessary, I can also join the battlefield at any time to fight against primitive creatures."

Chen Nian: "I don't have such lofty ideals as you. You are a saint, the great prince who wants to save the world. I'm just an ordinary resident from the underground city."

Shaffley: "This is the third time you have emphasized that you came from the dungeon today, Chen Nian, don't define yourself, okay? The dungeon should not be a place to imprison your thoughts, or to be your An excuse for not making progress."

"...I hate preaching."

Chen Nian sighed, maybe Shafelai was very calm and not aggressive at all, and he was actually not disgusted.

Shafele saw Chen Nian's various reactions in his eyes, and he was not disappointed.

Because it was all in his expectation.

In the process of a person's growth, acquired environmental factors play a much more important role than innate conditions.

No matter how much Jiang Dai tried his best to protect Chen Nian, he was influenced by the environment of the dungeon day after day:

After adulthood, start making money early, focus on immediate happiness, and let’s talk about future things later. Any pursuit of ideals is a luxury in an era when food and clothing are not necessarily satisfied.

He couldn't blame Chen Nian, he could only guide him slowly.

Fortunately, looking at Chen Nian's appearance, he listened.

"Give me some time to think about it." Chen Nian's answer this time did not show the previous laziness, "Don't worry, this time is not an excuse to prevaricate you, I will think about this question, about what I will do in the future. "

"Okay." Shafele breathed a sigh of relief, he was very happy that Chen Nian could get serious.

Chen Nian lowered his head and continued to read Chen Wei's manuscript.

Before he knew it, more than an hour passed, during which Shafele was bored, so he went to the game forum to browse.

Until Chen Nian, who was sitting by the bed, raised his foot and kicked his leg lightly.

"I want to sleep here tonight, okay?"

"Here?" Shaffery was quite surprised, "Sleeping in the marshal's room?"

"Well, you help me ask the White Tower."

Chen Nian didn't know why, but there was an inexplicable strong desire in his heart to rest in the place where Chen Wei used to live.

The Chen family's main house was burned down in the fire 18 years ago. Maybe here, he can find the feeling of home.

As the marshal's child, resting in his former residence is indeed not an unreasonable request.

Shafele immediately went to ask about the White Tower. In order to satisfy Chen Nian's wish, he specifically said that he would stay with him.

The White Tower went through layers of approvals and finally agreed.

They trust Shaffley and can take care of the submissions.

Upon hearing the news of Baita's agreement, Chen Nian couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you treat my brother like this before?"

"You should also know Chen Ci's character. I tried many times to make his life more colorful, but either I couldn't do it, or he didn't want to. Over time, it became like this."

Chen Nian understood, Chen Ci was too indifferent, and Shaffley was a quiet and honest person, so it was impossible for such two people to spark any kind of spark when they were put together.

If you want to impress your statement, you need a thick-skinned person who is enthusiastic and will not be discouraged no matter how cold it is.

Chen Ci is currently traveling with an Alpha named Fu Tianhe.

Although Chen Nian has never had direct contact with Fu Tianhe, judging from the chat process he took many hours to reply to as an email, and the heroism in the nightclub alley, he should be a warm-hearted person.

Well...with such a person by my side, I hope my brother will be happier.
