The end of the world begins with failing an exam

Chapter 24 The Moon Closes Its Eyes

When Chen Jing came to Kui Nan's house, he could smell a bloody smell before entering the door, and could vaguely hear the sound of someone hammering the floor in the dark room.

"Boss?"

Chen Jing walked in cautiously with the bag, and didn't stop until the end of the entrance.

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

Kui Nan crouched in the corner of the living room with her knees in her arms and said nothing. From the moment Chen Jing walked into the room, she always turned her back to Chen Jing, as if she didn't want to talk to this liar.

"Boss?"

Chen Jing walked up to Kui Nan cautiously, and casually glanced at the potholed floor beside her, remembering that there were no such uneven potholes when he came last time, they should all be smashed out by Boss Kui just now... …

What did you smash it with?
It should be 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 in Kui Nan's anger...

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

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

Hearing Chen Jing's words, Kui Nan didn't respond, maybe he really didn't want to talk to him.

"The main reason is that you scared me when we first met... If I just said that I am Chen Bofu's grandson...you would have strangled me to death on the spot..."

"I don't dare." Kui Nan said coldly, and continued to hold his knees and face the wall without turning his head. "Who are you? You are the grandson of Chen Bofu. If others dare to kill you, I dare not kill you." .”

"I only lied to you about this, I didn't lie to you about anything else..." Chen Jing explained helplessly.

"As long as you lie to me, you can't do anything." Kui Nan said blankly, "What's more, besides this, do you have any other important things to lie to me?"

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

"It's true that I want to be friends with you!"

"..."

At this point, Kui Nan finally turned around, and gave Chen Jing a vicious look.

"I said I don't want friends!"

"I know, but... are you hungry?" Seeing that her mood had eased, Chen Jing hurriedly pursued the victory and put two bags of food on the ground, "Have you not eaten yet? How about we eat something together?"

Kui Nan glared at Chen Jing fiercely again. She was about to calm down when she saw Chen Jing take the initiative to come to apologize, but when she heard that he treated her like a child, she immediately became angry.

"I will not eat!"

"Eat, eat, eat..."

Chen Jing acted as if he hadn't heard it, squatting down on the ground to unpack the lunch box, took the initiative to help Kui Nan take a pair of chopsticks and handed it to her, muttering, "Eat a little bit, you will have the strength to attack me when you are full... ..."

It wasn't until Kai Nan took the chopsticks angrily that Chen Jing dared to look up at her secretly.

Ok.

It seems that I am not so angry.

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

"I'll dig out the eyeballs for you again!" Kui Nan made a threatening gesture with chopsticks, her eyes were red as if she had just cried not long ago.

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

Hearing Chen Jing's cheeky and obedient words, Kui Nan couldn't help but hit him on the forehead with chopsticks, immediately causing a red spot on his forehead.

It looked auspicious.

"I hate people lying to me the most..." Kui Nan said, then looked down at the chopsticks that Chen Jing handed over, her tone became a little disappointed, "No matter what happens in the future, don't lie to me... Otherwise, I will really will hate you..."

"This time it was an accident, and I didn't want to..." 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 aboveboard, and I didn't deceive anyone... ..."

"Oh?"

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

It's not good to mention anyone, you have to mention Yanque.

That is Kui Nan's most annoying neighbor...

"You don't even lie to her, you just lie to me?" Kui Nan clenched the chopsticks in her hand, "In your eyes, I am not as good as that crazy woman Yanque?"

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

Kui Nan raised his hand and slammed his chopsticks at him again, causing a red dot to appear on Chen Jing's forehead.

"I'm not good at reasoning!"

"..."

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

At this moment, countless hypocritical compliments flashed through Chen Jing's mind, but thinking that he had just promised her not to lie to her, 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 mentioning friends from the past, Kui Nan's complexion suddenly darkened, and he took a few chopsticks to lightly poke the rice in the lunch box, and finally spoke after a long silence.

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

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

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

"Because I'm mad."

Kui Nan suddenly raised her head and stared at Chen Jing, a trace of imperceptible pain flashed in her scarlet eyes.

"I like killing people."

"Hmm...the hobby is quite special."

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

Kui Nan clenched her chopsticks subconsciously, and every word she said seemed to pop out from between her teeth.

"When I'm sick, I attack everything I see..."

"You're not sick now, are you?"

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

Kui Nan was secretly looking at Chen Jing while he was talking, seeing that he was neither scared nor surprised after hearing what he said, but was still helping her with food with a gentle smile, and she was a little moved in her heart.

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

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

"..."

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

Chen Jing picked up a piece of ribs that had been stewed to pieces for Kui Nan, as if he didn't take Kui Nan's words to heart at all, and still smiled very gently.

"This is delicious!"

Kui Nan snorted angrily, threw the sauce-flavored ribs into his mouth, and chewed viciously.

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

Speaking of this, Kui Nan suddenly realized that she seemed a little stupid, and it was completely meaningless to say these things to such a spoiled young master.

"never mind."

Kui Nan angrily turned her head away, not wanting to look at the smiling face that made her want to punch her.

"You can't understand what I said..."

"I can imagine that."

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

"I also lost a close relative. Although she didn't die because of me, my guilt towards her should be similar to the guilt in your heart..."

Kui Nan stopped talking, just glanced at Chen Jing, then lowered his head and ate his food absently.

After a while, Kui Nan suddenly spoke, as if still feeling emotional.

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

"You haven't seen me before?" Chen Jing couldn't help asking curiously, thinking that Kui Nan is also an old resident of this community, so he should have some impression of "myself".

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

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

"Really!" Kai Nan nodded, her tone was very serious, "I thought you were the same as your grandpa, the kind of murderous person who would stare and eat children, but now it seems...you are not like your grandpa at all. species."

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

"Praise you!" Kui Nan took a piece of fried chicken from Chen Jing's bowl, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed, and said inarticulately, "Looking at your weak chicken, I guess you haven't even killed anyone. ..."

As soon as the words fell, Kai 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 talk? Is it hurting you?" Kui Nan subconsciously raised her hand to slap Chen Jing, and asked cautiously.

"no……"

Chen Jing sat cross-legged with his back on the dilapidated balcony, and the misty white moonlight from outside the window shone in, flickering on and off that always smiling face, making it hard to see clearly.

"I just think you're really good at seeing people."

"Really!" Kui Nan was proud of the viciousness of her eyes, and hummed in her mouth, "It's fine if you don't get bullied by others, just like you, a little doormat!"

"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.

"With the boss covering me in the future, no one will dare to bully me."

"Small, tell me who dares to bully you in the future, I will beat their brains out... But then again, can you still bring me food often in the future?"

Looking at those staring dog eyes, Chen Jing nodded without hesitation.

"can."

"Great! Then I can use the money I saved to buy games in the future..." Kui Nan was so moved that she almost burst into tears, grabbed Chen Jing's shoulders and kept shaking, "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 whistling wind shook the glass windows of the balcony, and even Chen Jing felt the floor tremble.

"What is calling??"

Chen Jing couldn't help standing up, looking through the glass window of the balcony in the direction of the roar.

That strange sound was obviously not a natural howling wind, it should be made by some kind of creature!

"Atonementer, otherwise what else..."

Kui Nan was no stranger to the strange howls in the city, and even felt that Chen Jing was a little strange. After all, for every resident of Yongye Market, this kind of roar was a proof of the safety of the Moon Festival.

"The fog cleared..."

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

He had expected the city to live up to its name.

forever night.

Endlessly shrouded in endless night.

Whether it's the outskirts, the city, or the wasteland.

Everything you can see is covered by fog.

But this moment...

However, Chen Jing found that the fog with a visibility of no more than 200 meters had dissipated.

This Evernight City, which was shrouded in mist like a forest and had dense buildings, had never been seen so clearly by him...

The dense reinforced concrete pigeon buildings and some strange wooden buildings complement each other in the city. On the wide and empty streets, only the listed buses are driving at high speed.

The banks of the "Moonlight River" across Yongye Market are covered with reed-like dense giant plants. Whenever the stern night wind blows, their huge and slender bodies will collide with each other and make rustling sounds.

In Chen Jing's somewhat short memory.

The city called Eternal Night has never been brighter.

It seems that the weird celestial body in the sky has become a sun in a sense.

The bright moonlight became more and more dazzling, and the cold moonlight was like a white and invisible flame that engulfed the entire city in an instant, causing it to start burning silently...

Chen Jing couldn't help raising his head, looking at the moon that remained unchanged for thousands of years.

"So this is the Sacrificial Moon Period..." Chen Jing was shocked.

At this moment, the indescribable celestial body has closed its terrifying single eye, and the mouth that almost traverses the entire moon's equator has also changed its form. The upward corners of the mouth are gradually downward, revealing an extremely human expression, angry and irritable. .

"Look, the Redeemers are coming ashore."

Hearing what Kui Nan said, Chen Jing hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and looked far away in the direction of Kui Nan's finger.

He didn't understand until now.

What creatures made those terrifying roars before.

There are dozens of behemoths that are thirty or forty stories high!

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

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

Under the cold and bright moonlight, those giant creatures named "Redemptor" came out of the "Moonlight River" as wide as the sea one after another.

Like a vicious soul fleeing from hell and back to the world of mortals.

Along with the deafening and terrifying roars of those heads, they began to roam the empty streets of Yongye City...

"Hey, why are you in a daze?"

Kui 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 to respond, she took the initiative to hook Chen Jing's neck, and laughed loudly at the one-eyed moon in the sky.

"Ah Jing! Happy Moon Festival!"
