The sound of the train had been heard for a long time. A month's time was really not too long, especially when the countdown had begun. You would find that the days really passed too quickly, just like the reminder of "X days left to the college entrance examination" being erased and written on the blackboard every day.
Fatso contacted Tyrant and Lord Zeng, but the two eminent monks did not plan to come back and meet up. Tyrant was still there, forgetting himself and searching for the Dharma of Buddhism. Lord Zeng had just succeeded in proving the Dao and was in the stage of nourishment.
Everyone felt that time was pressing. After all, not everyone was like Su Bai who had nothing to do after proving the Dao, and not like Fatso who indulged himself after proving the Dao.
Others had their own pursuits, and you could not stop them. If you fell into depravity and did not strive to make progress, you would be too embarrassed to drag others down with you.
Compared to the passing time, it was undoubtedly a very luxurious thing to come back to drink tea and chat at this time. Some people could afford it, but some could not.
Su Bai and Fatso returned to Shanghai from Sichuan first, because the departure station shown on the ticket was Shanghai. It was almost the same as the last time, except that the group of people who were sent away last time had almost all died.
In the past, that group of people were also the proud sons of heaven of their generation, the group of people who stood at the top of the pyramid. But even the broadcast could not send them back. What came back were only corpses and the final angry roars of a crippled Qin soldier.
Of course, Su Bai had no right to feel sad about all this. If it was not for him, the Qin soldier would not have woken up, and the subsequent events would not have happened. He was the initiator of all this.
…
Holding the little fellow in his arms, Su Bai stood at the iron gate of the old Fang's house again. He had a feeling that things remained the same, but people had changed. During the time in the small temple, the four of them spent more time apart than together. Most of the time they lived together was in this building.
There were many stories that happened here, and also many daily lives.
The little fellow was also stolen from here by Hai Meimei.
No one had lived in the house for a long time, so it was a little dusty. Su Bai and Fatso simply tidied up and ordered some takeout for dinner.
The vine that Lucky had planted in the small courtyard in the past had not changed significantly and even showed signs of withering. This thing had to be watered, but watering it was too harmful to nature, and it was no longer useful to Su Bai. Perhaps, it was best for it to fend for itself. The attributes of this world had been determined. Regardless of whether the broadcast was successful or not, the existence of all planes that did not conform to the attributes of scientific and technological civilization would be severely suppressed in the future, and it might even be more severe than when the broadcast was still going on.
Ruyi and Ji Xiang were playing with the little fellow in the living room. Su Bai did not think that Ruyi would abandon the empty grave and follow them, but the black cat followed them on the plane. Perhaps, Ruyi had made her own choice.
This was how the world was. Even a cat had to make cruel choices about its own life, let alone a human.
Su Bai was lying on the same bench in the same position. Above his head was a starry sky.
From time to time, a tyrannical aura swept past. This was not strange. As the time of departure approached, a large number of big shots would rush here.
Some knew what it meant to keep a low profile, but some did not.
These people were like gorillas in heat, impatiently wanting to show off their muscles.
In fact, Su Bai could not understand the brain circuits of some people. Perhaps it was because he had more contact with people like Fatso, Lord Zeng, and the monk. These people were experienced and farsighted, so he did not feel anything. But some of the big shots were so naive that they were a little cute.
They felt inexplicably confident in themselves after they proved their Dao, and even had a feeling of eagerness and impatience.
The broadcast continued for a few times, letting the listeners practice how to deal with the Qin army. But practice was practice after all. The real Qin army, the real fight, the real big shots falling like cannon fodder, could not be simulated no matter how realistic the practice was.
"Yo, it's so lively."
Fatso walked out of the bedroom with two bottles of beer in his hand. He handed one to Su Bai.
"These guys really don't give people confidence."
In other words, Fatty was implying that he really could not muster up much fighting spirit when facing the Qin army with this group of teammates. Before the battle even started, he was already feeling light-headed.
"I originally thought that the theme of Shanghai should be 'Moon Over a Fountain', but when I came back, I realized that they were playing 'A Date' instead." Su Bai laughed as he spoke.
Some people were really not afraid, so they were floating. Some were afraid, so they became even crazier.
"Fortunately, there are still some people who can see hope. The broadcast is just trying to get more cannon fodder." Fatso explained.
Su Bai nodded. That's right. If there was no Hills, no Chen Ru, no Yan Huihong, and the others who had personality and strength, these people who felt that they were winners in life after proving their Dao would really lose confidence in the outcome.
Of course, there was also Boss Liang. However, he did not know if Boss Liang could still bring out the domineering aura of the past when he was fighting with his life on the line.
Speaking of the devil …
The devil had arrived.
Someone knocked on the door and did not hide his aura. It was Boss Liang.
Fatso went to open the door, and Su Bai sat up from the chair.
Boss Liang was empty-handed, while Jie Lin was carrying some gifts in his hands. They looked a little like a newly married couple giving out wedding candies. That kind of sweet and affectionate feeling seemed to stick to the air.
Of course, the relationship between the two sides was not considered friendly, especially after the previous incident with Fu Su. The two sides could be considered to have formed a grudge. Boss Liang had deliberately used a borrowed knife to kill people in the story world, making Xu Fu's clone split the monk's past and present lives.
However, the relationship between the audience was really extraordinary. Just like how Su Bai and Fatso had stabbed each other in the back yesterday and sat at the wine table tomorrow.
"I'm here to see you." Boss Liang sat down in front of Su Bai.
Jie Lin put down his things and stood behind his boss. He looked at Su Bai with a calm gaze. There was no hatred, but it was no longer as friendly and familiar as before.
Fatso crossed his arms and stood behind Su Bai. He was like a lackey who stood behind the boss in Hong Kong movies.
Su Bai did not say anything. He waited for Boss Liang to continue.
"Tell me the truth, Qin Jun. Are you going to fight or not? I came here today to ask you this question."
This was once the question that Fatso and the others were most concerned about.
"I don't care about your lives," Su Bai said as he glanced at Fatso. "But there are a few people I don't want to die."
Fatso squeezed his eyes hard.
Cry.
All of you, cry hard.
Create the atmosphere for me!
"Alright, that's enough. You haven't entered the story world these few times, so you don't know that the broadcast has divided the world's big-shot listeners into five parts. I'll lead one part, your friend called Hills will lead another, and Chen Ru will lead another. You don't know the leaders of the other two parts."
"We're on Hills' side. It's the same as the first time," Fatso immediately bent down and said.
Su Bai nodded and did not say anything.
He also believed that Boss Liang would not be confident enough to recruit him as his subordinate.
In fact, dividing it into five parts was already the limit of the broadcast. The five parts were not purely divided according to race, but according to strength, enhancement type, mutual relationship, and so on. The quality of the audience was too complicated. The broadcast no longer had the time to recreate a "harmonious and beautiful" audience atmosphere. It could only preserve the greatest cohesion and strength distribution of each part.
If they insisted on making it into one part, it would become a motley crew with their own thoughts.
"I'm relieved to hear that."
Boss Liang stood up. It seemed like he was planning to leave.
"We'll discuss some things in the near future, but in your current state, I don't think you want to participate, right?" Boss Liang did not wait for Su Bai to answer. He smiled and said, "We want to live. You're the only one swaying between life and death. How interesting."
"I don't need you to guess my mentality, right?" Su Bai asked.
"Yes, I don't need to guess." Boss Liang waved his hand. "Then I won't disturb you."
Jie Ling turned around and left with Boss Liang.
It seemed like this couple was going to visit a lot of relatives and friends tonight.
However, as he walked, Boss Liang suddenly stopped in his tracks.
At the same time, he said, "Hiss … Do you know that you've always been bluffing …"
"That's because you're too cowardly and easily scared." Fatso immediately started to add insult to injury.
"Alright, but there's something I have to try. Otherwise, I won't be confident. Otherwise, if anything happens to me in that world, I'll be too helpless," Boss Liang said again.
"Try what?"
"Try … How capable are you after you've proven your Dao!"
Boss Liang turned around.
Then, he walked toward Su Bai again.
For a moment.
Boss Liang walked past the small courtyard. The flowers and trees around him instantly changed from "Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter". It was as if time had become chaotic around him.
At the same time.
The oppressive feeling that felt like the sky was crushing down instantly came!
The fat on Fatso's face began to tremble, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
When the usually cowardly Boss Liang showed his extraordinary side, it was really hard for people to bear. At the very least, Fatso's calves were trembling.
However.
Su Bai, who was sitting on the bench, was still unmoved.
He even stood up.
A majestic aura burst out from Su Bai's body and charged forward.
The auras of both sides began to collide intensely.
For a moment.
The starry sky in the middle of the night began to dim.
Even the bigwigs who had come to Shanghai were frightened at this time. They didn't know what kind of huge change had happened!
