My Endless Life.

Chapter 356 Familiar People
The knight wanted to take Sun Xiaoqing away.

But the problem is that now they have no way to leave here.

The town is like an iron barrel that only allows entry but not exit. Once you enter it, you cannot fly out even if you have wings.

The only solution the knight can think of is to rely on rare objects.

But no matter the invisible hand in Sun Xiaoqing's hand or the cross of rebirth in his hand, they were of no help to the current situation.

After the knight exchanged some information with Sun Xiaoqing, he suddenly asked Sun Xiaoqing:
"You mean, we can't go out at night here?"

"Yes, I heard from Vincent that everyone who left at night never came back."

Sun Xiaoqing relayed Vincent's words to the knight.

The knight had just arrived in the town not long ago, and it was already early in the morning. Vincent probably felt that even if he told the knight now that it was very dangerous here at night, he probably wouldn't believe it, so he didn't tell him this information.

After listening to what Sun Xiaoqing said, the knight thought for a moment and said:
"I'll go out and take a look at night. Maybe I can only find a way to leave at night."

His guess made some sense. After all, the only thing that no one had tried was staying in the outside world for a long time at night.

Although all the people who went out at night did not come back, who can guarantee that they did not just leave here, but something really happened to them?

The knight decided to go out and give it a try. After all, he had the Cross of Rebirth. Even if an accident really happened, at least he could guarantee his life.

And even if he didn't want to rescue Sun Xiaoqing but just leave for himself, the knight would have to find a way to leave.

Sun Xiaoqing knew the power of the magic weapon in the knight's hand, so she didn't try to persuade him. She nodded slightly and silently drank the cold water handed to her by the bartender, not knowing what she was thinking about.

The knight was also drinking silently, seemingly thinking about what to do in the evening.

After waiting for a few minutes, the knight suddenly asked:

"By the way, I heard that you got a rare item? Where is it now?"

"!?"

When Sun Xiaoqing heard the knight's question, her hands shook violently and she almost dropped the cup of water in her hand.

She forced a smile at the knight, but was unable to utter a single word in reply for a long time.

If the knight knew that the 'rare item' she brought was from Meng An... wouldn't he kill her?
……

Sun Xiaoqing did not tell the knight about Li Qi's affairs. She just casually dealt with it and hurried back to the mansion to ask Li Qi what to do.

When Li Qi returned to the mansion, he had just come back from playing with Kate. When he heard Sun Xiaoqing say that someone would come to the ancient monument, he suddenly asked curiously:
"You mean, the member of the Ancient Monument Society who came here was also a former student of my grandmother?"

At this point, he asked with a rather strange expression, "What exactly does grandma do in the Ancient Monuments Association? Why does she have so many students?"

Not only are there so many students, but among these students, there are also many high-ranking members of the Ancient Relics Society. It is hard to imagine that such a Zhang Fengyun was actually squeezed out of the Ancient Relics Society and had to live in seclusion in China for the rest of his life.

Hearing Li Qi's question, Sun Xiaoqing sighed and said:

“I’m not sure about Teacher Zhang’s specific position, but what is certain is that she adopted us not because of her position, but out of her personal interest.

"We are more like her adopted children than her students. She is like a mother to us, which is why we have not forgotten her until now."

Sun Xiaoqing and her group of people are orphans, and it was Zhang Fengyun who adopted them.

Zhang Fengyun treated them as her own children, taught them to read and write, and gave them the opportunity to choose.

But most of them chose to join the Ancient Monuments Society.

Only a few choose to be an ordinary person.

But Li Qi thought more at this time. He pondered what Zhang Fengyun said and the students of Zhang Fengyun who were currently in the Ancient Relics Society, and suddenly realized a problem.

If it is said that Zhang Fengyun really has a lot of students, and his position in the Ancient Monuments Association is not low.

Is it possible that she died inexplicably in an ordinary car accident?

If Zhang Fengyun's enemies can use this method to get rid of her, then don't her students have any other means to protect her?
Even if we take a step back, Zhang Fengyun was once able to run for one of the Twelve Stars of the Ancient Monuments Society. For a person like this, doesn't she know that she will be assassinated?
The more Li Qi thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong, but he did not explain it to Sun Xiaoqing in detail. He just said casually:

"As long as you don't reveal my identity, you can say whatever you want. Also... have you found the person I'm looking for?"

Li Qi did not forget that the purpose of his coming to this small town was to find the murderer who hit and killed Zhang Fengyun.

Now they have arrived in the town, but there is no sign of the murderer.

Sun Xiaoqing thought back to everyone she had met today and shook her head at Li Qi.
"We didn't find him. Maybe... he died in this pollution."

Just like those who disappeared in the night.

Sun Xiaoqing wanted to say this, but after hearing this, Li Qi said to Sun Xiaoqing meaningfully:
“No, it’s not pollution.”

"?"

Sun Xiaoqing was stunned and looked at Li Qi in confusion.

Li Qi didn't look at him. He looked out the window without any focus. He whispered to Sun Xiaoqing:

"We guessed wrong from the beginning."

……

In the mansion during the day, the doors were closed and everyone was sleeping in their rooms. Only Li Qi and Sun Xiaoqing stood at the door of the mansion, looking outside through the window.

"Are you sure you want to go out?"

Sun Xiaoqing whispered to Li Qi beside her. Now that everyone was asleep, Li Qi planned to leave the mansion during the day to explore a possible way out.

Sun Xiaoqing actually didn't quite agree with Li Qi's approach. After all, no one knew what they would encounter if they went out now.

But there was no way, everything for her was centered around Li Qi. Besides, the Li Qi who was here now was not the real person, so she was just asking symbolically.

Li Qi's answer was also what Sun Xiaoqing expected.

He put his hand on the door handle, looked out the window, and said softly:
"We have to go out and take a look. Besides... this place is not as dangerous as you think."

"…What's the meaning?"

Sun Xiaoqing didn't quite understand.

Li Qi smiled at her and said, "You will understand later."

After saying that, Li Qi opened the door and walked out of the mansion.

Sun Xiaoqing quickly closed the door after Li Qi left, fearing that something would come in.

After making sure the door was closed tightly, she looked outside again.

Then Li Qi was seen walking away without looking back, getting farther and farther away until he disappeared.

Li Qi could no longer see the mansion behind him. He looked to the side, and saw two different scenes overlapping in his eyes.

There were two towns in his sight, one was the town in front of Li Qi, and the other was the town in another of his eyes.

After meeting another self in the basement, in just a brief moment, Li Qi realized that the other person was also himself.

They are the same people, but they are inexplicably divided into two parts.

Before meeting each other, neither of them was aware of the other's existence, but when they saw each other, they immediately realized that the other person was themselves.

Li Qi didn't know whether other people felt the same way, but he felt the same way, and because of this he also knew the general identity of this town.

It's different from what I thought before.

This town is not pollution, but a 'wonder'.

An extremely large and unique object that was created based on an entire town!
Li Qi is not sure about the ability and price of this rare object, but what is certain is that since it is a rare object, if no one uses it, neither the price nor the ability can be restored.

Now that everyone is trapped in the town, it proves that someone is using this strange object.

Li Qi wants to find the user.

As long as the user is found, the people trapped here will have a chance to leave.

But exploration also requires methods.

Li Qi and his other self are in two different spaces. One space is safe during the day and dangerous at night, and the other space is dangerous during the day and safe at night.

During the safe period, no matter how much they explored, they could not find any way to leave the town. This proves that only by exploring during the dangerous period can the true identity of the strange object and the person who used it be found.

So he decided to explore during the day in this dangerous space.

On the other side, exploration takes place in the dark.

He is mentally connected with his other self and they exchange information with each other.

Now is the time to explore here, and Li Qi has left the town.

The moment he stepped out of the town, the town behind him disappeared like smoke, but in its place was an amusement park full of various recreational facilities.

Like a seamless transition, Li Qi went directly from the small town to the center of the amusement park.

The Ferris wheel, carousel, roller coaster and other facilities in the amusement park were all shining, as if tempting him to enter.

But Li Qi remained unmoved.

First of all, he was not an ordinary child. These facilities had no appeal to him at all. Secondly...

There was something more attractive than these rides...or rather, a 'person', that appeared in front of Li Qi.

"Li Qi! What are you looking at? Come here quickly!"

A beautiful girl with short orange hair stood under the Ferris wheel and waved at Li Qi.

Looking at the girl, Li Qi's eyes were complicated.

After nearly two hundred years, Li Qi didn't expect to see her again, the first love he liked at first but would never see again.

The girl's name is 'Zhang Yang'.

The sun's yang.

And just like her name, her mere existence brings endless light to people.

Be it Li Qi or other members of the band, they all got out of the trough because of her, and they gathered together and became best friends.

Li Qi, who had just traveled through time and thought that life would last forever, unsurprisingly fell in love with her.

That was also the first time that Li Qi knew what it felt like to be loved.
