It was very hot outside, but the dungeon was very cold and humid.
When Ren Baqian was dragged in, he saw a few rats running on the ground.
There were two metal doors on both sides, and he couldn't see what was going on inside.
Soon, he was thrown into one of the doors. The person who threw him in said to the jailer, "Look after the prisoner that Her Majesty wants. Don't kill him."
Hearing this, Ren Baqian felt goosebumps all over his body.
If he didn't say this, would he not be able to get out of here alive?
He panicked at the thought of this.
With a bang, the metal door was slammed shut. Ren Baqian was left in this cell with a 20-centimeter-tall, one-meter-wide ventilation window.
Ren Baqian collapsed onto a pile of straw on the ground.
What he had experienced today was too stimulating for his young heart.
After a while, he started to worry about his current situation.
He hoped that the lady would see him soon, and then he would think of a way to persuade her to give him a chance to show off.
Ren Baqian believed that he was completely different from the people of this world in terms of experience and vision. That was where he would be useful.
Not to mention other things, he had to change the current situation where he could be killed at any time.
For the next few hours, he lay on the straw and thought about what he should say to the lady to move her.
When he felt cold, he grabbed a handful of straw and covered himself with it to keep warm.
A squeaking rat came out of a hole in the corner of the wall, giving him a scare.
After scaring the rat away, he continued to think while sighing about how good Earth was.
There was a small door at the bottom of the metal door, and dinner was pushed in from there.
There was a bowl of salt water and a cornbread. The grains were so thick that he cut his throat when he swallowed it.
After using all his strength to finish the cornbread, Ren Baqian curled up in the straw to keep warm and think. He didn't try to ask the jailer outside because he knew it was useless. It was better to save his saliva.
The straw was warm, so it didn't take long for him to fall asleep. He had received too many shocks today.
Ren Baqian thought that the lady would see him soon.
He didn't expect that after waiting for three days, there was no sign of her wanting to see him.
Ren Baqian was a little anxious. Could it be that the other party had forgotten about him? If that was the case, wouldn't he die here?
Thinking of such an outcome, Ren Baqian felt that death would be more comfortable.
However, it was useless for him to be anxious. The current situation was that their lives were in the hands of others.
He could only comfort himself as he waited in the cell.
Another night passed. Before he opened his eyes, he felt that the light was so bright that he could see through his eyelids.
After a few days in prison, he had already gotten used to the light in the cell. So he knew at once that he was not in a cell.
Ren Baqian opened his eyes abruptly. Following which, he was dazzled by the surrounding light and quickly closed his eyes.
He had been in the cell for the past few days and was not used to the brightness outside.
He touched his lower body with his hand. It was still straw, but it was impossible for the cell to be so bright.
His hand touched the surroundings again, and he felt a smooth surface with a small crack.
"These are … floor tiles?" Ren Baqian suddenly thought of a possibility. He stretched out his hand and felt around. Sure enough, he felt a wooden table leg. It was his computer desk.
"I'm back?!!" Ren Baqian was wild with joy and almost shouted.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ren Baqian slowly opened his eyes again. What he saw was indeed a familiar room. The walls were yellowed from the smoke, the computer desk, the computer, and the messy bed. Everything was so familiar.
And he was lying on a pile of straw in front of the computer desk.
"I'm back, I'm back alive!" Ren Baqian jumped up from the ground.
First, he was almost beheaded. Then, he stayed in a dark cell for three days. Finally, he returned to this kennel. The joy in his heart was indescribable, and he could only vent his emotions by shouting.
After venting for ten minutes, he finally calmed down a little when someone knocked on his door from next door.
"Oh no! I disappeared for three days. I don't know how the company will deal with me. "After calming down, Ren Baqian suddenly had to face an extremely realistic problem.
"Forget it, I'm lucky to be able to come back alive. If I lose my job, I'll just find another one. "Ren Baqian immediately comforted himself.
Indeed, after walking on the edge of life and death, he could look down on many things a little more. The most important thing now was to come back alive. This was more important than anything else.
Although this was what he thought, he still picked up his phone.
Sure enough, it was switched off as he expected.
He nimbly charged his phone and threw himself onto the bed.
It was really great to be back in this kennel again. Even this broken window was so comfortable. Ren Baqian hugged the quilt and rolled around while sighing.
After rolling around for a while, he was pricked by something.
At this moment, he realized that there was still a lot of straw stuck on his body.
"This is the straw from another world. I wonder if it will carry germs or something. " Ren Baqian mumbled as he took off his clothes and threw them to the side. He walked to the mirror and saw his haggard face.
His short hair was also stained with a lot of straw.
"Dong, dong, dong." A series of knocks sounded on the door.
Ren Baqian quickly put on his underpants and opened the door. It was a middle-aged man outside.
"You're finally back. I've been looking for you for two days, and your phone is switched off. What do you want? If you didn't come back, I would have thrown your things outside, "the middle-aged man said unhappily.
"Isn't there still one more week? What's the hurry? "Ren Baqian was still immersed in the joy of escaping death.
"Are you too stupid? It's already been two days, "the middle-aged man suddenly said.
"…?" Ren Baqian suddenly realized a problem and asked cautiously, "What's the date today?"
"It's the 17th. The rent is due on the 15th."
Ren Baqian lowered his head and calculated. When he went to that world, it was on the 8th. Today was the 17th, which meant that ten days had passed. He stayed in that world for three days and did not know when he returned to this world.
In other words, one day in that world was equivalent to at least three days on Earth?
"It's over. Looks like I'm definitely going to lose my job." Ren Baqian smiled bitterly. If he was missing for three days, he could still think of a way to talk. If he was missing for ten days, he would definitely be fired.
"I will transfer the money to you via WeChat later," Ren Baqian said to the landlord and closed the door.
Ren Baqian turned on his phone and looked at the time. It was indeed July 17th.
He then looked at his notifications and saw a series of missed calls. A few of them were from his mean middle-aged female boss, a few were from his colleagues, and the last few were from his only friend.
When he opened WeChat, there was also a series of messages.
"Where are you? Why didn't you come to work? "
"The higher-ups are angry. Come quickly."
"Why did you go missing?"
"You were fired. Come to the company to pay your salary."
When Ren Baqian saw this message, he immediately dismissed the idea of calling the mean middle-aged female boss.
She had always disliked him. Now that he was missing for ten days, he would definitely be fired.
He would go to the company tomorrow to pay his salary and find a place to relax for two days. After that, he would look for a job.
"But how did I get over there? How did I come back? "When Ren Baqian thought of this question, his heart was immediately shrouded with a layer of shadow.
