Chapter 458 Beginning Volume·End
"Then I want to eat the most expensive meal in Jialin~!" Li Shiqing looked at the lights of thousands of families lit up in the night, stretched her arms wide, turned around, and tilted her head playfully.
"Let's go~" Zhou Ji showed a faint smile, and walked past her, "Check your phone and see which restaurant is the most expensive."
"Isn't it true?" Li Shiqing was a little dumbfounded for a moment, Zhou Ji smiled and said, "Or else?"
Li Shiqing was just joking, but Zhou Ji actually took it seriously, and hurriedly chased after him, hesitantly said: "Why don't we just forget it, now that the cycle is over, there's no need to eat such expensive ones, right? Let's talk."
Li Shiqing touched the wallet, and whispered a little embarrassedly: "I may not have enough money."
"I told you everything, don't worry about the money." Zhou Ji had just taken a step, but was blocked by Li Shiqing again. Seeing her tangled expression that hesitated to speak, he suddenly understood why she was so resistant.
After going through so many time loops, several times when I was penniless and wanted to find a place to 'borrow' clothes, Li Shiqing took the initiative to advance money to help him buy the outfits. Now seeing that he changed into modern clothes, he took the initiative to 'invite' her Have a meal.
This kind and innocent little girl must have thought that he was being generous to others again, and used the money he borrowed to treat her to dinner.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ji couldn't help laughing, and took the initiative to ask: "You want to ask me where the money comes from?"
"Ah? I didn't mean that, I just felt... felt" Li Shiqing wanted to explain, but was also worried about hurting Zhou Ji. Just when he was at a loss as to how to speak, Zhou Ji slowly stretched out his hand towards her chest. Ripples appeared in the air like the surface of water.
Li Shiqing's tear-filled eyes suddenly widened, and she stared blankly at Zhou Ji's outstretched palm disappearing into the void. As the water wave dissipated, a fist-sized gold ingot appeared on top of a pile of brand-new cash. the palm of his hand.
"The cycle is over, and my cultivation has been restored. I got the money in exchange for the pure gold I collected and refined."
It was the first time for Li Shiqing, who came from an ordinary family, to see such a big gold ingot. She raised her head to look at Zhou Ji in a daze, and asked in a daze, "Who are you?"
"Tada is no ordinary pedestrian passing by."
Zhou Ji raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, waved his long sleeves, put away the gold ingots and cash, stretched his clenched fists in front of Li Shiqing again, and spread out his palms, revealing an ancient jade pendant as thin as fat.
"Sent to you. Don't rush to refuse. If you didn't take the trouble to find me every time and tell me the truth, I'm afraid I would have been completely lost in the endless cycle. God died and Dao disappeared. Please accept my thanks."
"But I didn't intend to refuse?" Li Shiqing showed a sweet smile, and while Zhou Ji was astonished, she took the initiative to pick up the Lingyu and held it in front of her chest.
For practitioners, it is the most difficult to pay back the karma owed. Seeing Li Shiqing accepting the pendant, Zhou Ji heaved a sigh of relief, walked forward a few steps, and found that Li Shiqing did not keep up, and turned around to look at her in doubt. .
I saw that Li Shiqing was still smiling like a flower just now, but now she seemed to think of something, her face suddenly turned red, she stomped on the spot annoyed and disappointed, and then spat at herself, noticing that Zhou Ji looked at her like Like a thief with a guilty conscience, he put on the pendant in a panic, lowered his head to avoid sight, and quickly chased after him.
The little girl is really inexplicable.
Zhou Ji shook his head, and walked towards the restaurant according to the address Li Shiqing had just found out.
Maybe it's been too long since I've been back to the 'modern world'. In the end, Zhou Ji still failed to invite Li Shiqing to this 'the most expensive meal in Jialin'.
Sitting on the low ponytail, Li Shiqing took out two paper towels and wiped the small square table in front of her. Seeing Zhou Jiyou's unwilling expression, she held back her smile and said, "Okay~~We didn't expect to go there before we went. Is it by appointment only? In fact, this place is also very good~”
Li Shiqing pointed to the Jiashi University facing the street, and flaunted: "The students of our Jiashi University usually like to come to this snack street to eat, especially the duck blood vermicelli soup here, it is absolutely amazing! And that one Fried chicken, I’ve been craving it for a long time. I haven’t dared to eat it, and the sundae from the milk tea shop over there, wait for me, I’ll buy it for you to try.”
Zhou Ji had never seen Li Shiqing so eloquently naive. Seeing the aunt coming with a tray, she got up and put a bowl in front of Li Shiqing, and grabbed the little girl who was about to move.
After supper, Zhou Ji sent her back to the front of the dormitory building, watched her go upstairs, and then left calmly under the scrutiny of the dormitory auntie.
the next day.
In the long-lost morning, Li Shiqing, who woke up from her sleep, couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
Repeating the cycle fifteen times, the endless May finally came to an end. In the eyes of her roommates, this girl just went out to buy a book yesterday, why has she been so silly and happy until now after she came back?
After finishing the two compulsory classes in the morning, Li Shiqing glanced at the time, hurried back to the dormitory, changed her clothes, and went to the school gate to meet Zhou Ji.
Arriving at the restaurant reserved last night, Li Shiqing paused, and the smile on the corner of her mouth froze.
I saw Xiao Heyun sitting there with a face of reluctance listening to another young man's lecture. Seeing Zhou Ji and Li Shiqing approaching, the man quickly kicked Xiao Heyun and signaled him to get up together.
After an introduction, it turned out that this person was the partner of Xiao Heyun's brother, Li Shiqing, who didn't hate him, but at this moment, there was still a hint of disappointment in her heart.
It turns out that this is the meaning of the treat.
Liu Peng was vaguely aware of Li Shiqing's emotional changes, glanced at Zhou Ji next to him, and immediately realized that he couldn't help kicking Xiao Heyun again.
Lied to me that there are investors, but I didn’t expect that they came to serve as light bulbs for others.
Xiao Heyun knew that it was wrong for him to release the gold master pigeon, and he was shaken by insisting on the **** aspect of the game, so he had to be kicked all the way, and there were many shoe prints on his little white shoes.
For Zhou Ji, this meal was both a thank you and a farewell. Knowing that there was still a big gap in Xiao Heyun and Liu Peng's game projects, Zhou Ji thought for a while and put the box he was carrying on the table.
The gold ingots in the box weighed more than a dozen kilograms, and it was not a problem to exchange them for millions of cash.
If it is a 3A masterpiece, the investment of nearly 10 million is not enough to make a living, but for an independent game that is mostly developed, this fund is more than enough.
On the way back, Li Shiqing was obviously in a low mood. Zhou Ji seemed to see something, looked at the gate of Jiashi University that was getting closer and stopped, and said, "Li Shiqing, I should go."
"Mmm..." Li Shiqing hesitated for a moment, gripped the strap of her satchel tightly, and watched Zhou Ji turn and leave.
Suddenly, Zhou Ji's steps stopped on the spot, looked down, two slender and weak fingers gently grabbed the corner of his clothes, turned around involuntarily, and looked up to Li Shiqing who was looking up at him.
Seeing Li Shiqing's firm eyes, Zhou Ji was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right! This guy killed Wang Mengmeng, not to mention, and ruined her parents, causing so many things to follow up. He really can't be forgiven lightly!"
The circulation team is dispatched again.
Xiao Heyun was imprisoned in a small dark room by Liu Peng to modify the game. Zhou Ji and Li Shiqing could only act as two people in the next few days. Three, he was successfully sent to prison and sentenced to eight years in prison.
Eight years could not make up for the sins he committed, and the justice that the law could not achieve, Zhou Ji engraved a vine killing curse into his body.
Sito World, even a young man who is superstitious about science cannot find out the reason with the medical technology that will only be available next year.
For the rest of his life, every year on May 13th, when Vine Kill had an attack, he would use a hundred claws to scratch his heart and make him recall the evil deeds he had committed.
Since then, the case has been declared completely broken.
Watching the news about the case on the news, Zhou Ji was about to say goodbye to Li Shiqing again, but Li Shiqing spoke up first, saying that the surprised party had contacted her and that a commendation meeting would be held in a few days, and hoped that Zhou Ji would attend together to bring the whole incident to an end .
Zhou Ji looked at the anticipation in Li Shiqing's eyes, was silent for a moment, and agreed.
May ends this day.
Everyone on the No. 45 bus gathered again at the Jing-cymbal Bureau to participate in the "Brave for Justice" commendation meeting.
In front of the camera, everyone picked up the commendation certificates in their hands and showed very bright smiles. Lao Jiao couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear when he got the certificates and bonuses. He looked at his daughter sitting under the stage and saw her With proud eyes, everything is so worth it!
Ludi's parents seem to have accepted the child's growth, looking at their child with relief and pride.
Xiao Heyun, who had been in the 'Little Black Room' for nearly half a month, was finally released by Liu Peng. After half a month of revisions, his game finally passed the review, and the next road is much easier than before.
Complaining to Zhou Ji and Li Shiqing about his brother of the same kind, Xiao Heyun hurriedly returned to the studio to continue the development of the game.
Looking at Xiao Heyun's back, Li Shiqing couldn't help laughing and said: "He complains so much, it can be seen that he cares about his game more than anyone else."
"Of course, every game producer will regard the games they make by themselves as their own children, except for Zhang San." Zhou Ji said with a gloomy expression.
"Huh?" Li Shiqing shook her head helplessly, she was used to this guy often saying some inexplicable words after getting along these days.
Since the "Three Kingdoms Contest for Hegemony" that day, Zhou Ji's image in her heart has been completely shattered.
The kind that won't stick back even if it sticks.
However, this kind of him is more real, not as gentle and elegant as usual, but with an indifference that is alienated from the world.
Walking out of the startled sentence, Zhou Ji looked at the dispersed crowd, turned his eyes to Li Shiqing and said, "You don't have class today, is there any place you want to go?"
Seemingly seeing something in Zhou Ji's soft gaze, Li Shiqing nodded and said, "Yes."
Suburb cemetery.
Zhou Ji and Li Shiqing walked through the long steps and came to a tomb.
This is the mausoleum of Wang Mengmeng.
Solemnly placed a handful of white chrysanthemums in front of the tomb, Li Shiqing looked at the girl in the photo with a fresh and clean smile, and said softly: "Zhou Ji, tell me, do people really go to another world after death?"
"Yes." Zhou Ji didn't know whether there was an underworld in this world, but she still answered her like this.
Li Shiqing said softly: "Wang Mengmeng, uncle driver and the others miss you very much. The truth of those years has been revealed, and the villains have been punished accordingly. I hope you can rest in peace in that world."
A gust of wind blows on the face, like a gentle palm gently caressing the side of Li Shiqing's face, pulling up the hair that slipped from her ears, Li Shiqing seems to hear a faint thank you, and it slacks in her ears.
Everything is really over.
Returning to Jialin from Jiaodao, Zhou Ji sent Li Shiqing downstairs to the dormitory. This time, he didn't say goodbye like every time he sent her back.
Turning around, the corner of his clothes was grabbed by his fingertips again, Zhou Ji paused, and heard Li Shiqing's pleading voice from behind, "I still have a wish that has not been fulfilled! The recurring incident has not been completely resolved!"
"That pervert, you planted vines on him, what if it fails one day? What if he finds someone to untie it?"
"There are also the driver uncle and Tao Yinghong. Although they have pleaded guilty, we can help them continue to appeal! Maybe they can reduce their sentence or give them a suspended sentence. And there are others"
Zhou Ji gently broke free from Li Shiqing's fingers, turned around and looked at Li Shiqing quietly, Li Shiqing's voice became lower and lower, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, he pulled off the pendant hanging from his chest, and handed it to Zhou Ji : "I refuse, refuse this thing you gave me. I want something else."
Zhou Ji was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't take people away."
"Then I'll find you!" Li Shiqing stuffed the pendant into Zhou Ji's hand, raised her head stubbornly, looked into his eyes and said, "Tell me how to find you."
"With your aptitude, there is no hope of practicing in this life. Even if you practice for several lives, it will be difficult to pass the door of cultivation." Zhou Ji shook his head.
"If you can't do it in a few lifetimes, then you will live in it." Li Shiqing almost got angry, "Even if you are reincarnated, forget everything, as long as I find you, no matter how many times, I will believe it."
Zhou Ji sighed softly, knowing that Li Shiqing's words were partly out of anger. Living in an ivory tower, her longing for love was full of innocence and stubbornness.
It's like the prohibition of puppy love in middle and high schools. Maybe it's just a ray of ungerminated love, which is catalyzed by rebellion and blooms against it.
However, it was this innocence and stubbornness that touched Zhou Ji's heart, and a figure in a goose-yellow dress flashed in his mind, and Zhou Ji suppressed the "if."
Holding the jade pendant in the palm of his hand, he introduced a copy of Qionghua Sect's foundation-building exercises into it, and returned it to Li Shiqing, saying: "All heavens and ten thousand realms, I look forward to the day you meet again."
