After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book CH 111 Changjiang Defense System

4 Comments

With the help of Shi Fengyue, the navigation department restarted the experiment much faster than expected. For this reason, Yu Yi’s friend came to the security department to thank Jiang Chen.

Since Jiang Chen brought Shi Fengyue to the navigation department after lunch that day, he hadn’t seen him again. Even though Shi Fengyue stayed in the research institute for a week straight except for leaving to do the surgeries that had been booked in the hospital, Jiang Chen never ran across him. The only contact was through the text Shi Fengyue sent after finishing the laboratory affairs:

——I’m at the gate of the research institute, let’s have a meal together if you have time.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

At that time, Jiang Chen happened to be processing the information that Changjiang grabbed from He Qianjian’s system, and it was almost early morning when he saw the message, and seven hours had passed since the text message was delivered. He wanted to explain something or call back, but in the end he only texted back with a few words: Sorry, just saw your text.

After waiting for a long time, Shi Fengyue still didn’t reply, and he didn’t send any texts to Jiang Chen after that. Jiang Chen didn’t have time to think about it, and was quickly distracted by the many assignments in the second semester of the third year of high school and Li De’s software upgrade.

His work at the research institute had already determined a clear direction. It now mostly involved repeated experiments and looking for loopholes to improve the software. There were other researchers in the laboratory besides Jiang Chen so he did not need to stay in the laboratory all the time. But as the person in charge of the entire project, and in order to be persuasive enough to start the next project after the success of this project, Jiang Chen had to be involved in everything himself.

Under the triple pressure of school, research institute, and Li De, Jiang Chen had been very busy since the start of school, but even so, the work of finding new loopholes in the Changjiang Defense System every night before going to bed had never fallen behind, and had even made great progress——the Changjiang Defense System was already operational. Through deep learning, it could accurately distinguish between intruders and protectors, and take countermeasures.

This point was discovered by Jiang Chen after he was attacked by the system. That day happened to be the first day back at school. Jiang Chen only stayed at school for half a day before going to Li De to discuss with Li Nanfeng’s team the upgraded version of the image recognition system, and it was past ten o’clock at night when he got home.

Yang Si and Jiang Zhuo had already fallen asleep. After Jiang Chen took a short shower, he turned on the computer to run the Changjiang Defense System as usual, but after turning it on, he did not start looking for loopholes as before, but stared at the keyboard for a while.

Before leaving the research institute yesterday, Yu Yi called him to the small conference room and asked him a very serious question: how would he allocate his time in school and the research institute after the term started.

In fact, when he chose to enter the National Research Institute in advance, he made preparations for this aspect, but at that time he did not expect that the project would go from approval to preparation to the establishment of a scientific research team so quickly. The previous plans had been disrupted so replanning was needed. There were only twenty-four hours in a day, and even if he didn’t sleep, Jiang Chen knew that he could no longer take care of school and research at the same time.

Now there were less than 100 days left before the college entrance examination. This period of time was extremely urgent for third year high school students, but for Jiang Chen who had already received a direct admission and skipped four years of university study and directly entered the research institute, this period of time held a meaning that was far more than that. This was the third year of high school life he had held regrets on, and it was also the path he must take to accompany his friends on the battlefield.

It was easy to get the answer by weighing the pros and cons, but what was involved was not only the pros and cons, but also many other things. In the choice between the two, Jiang Chen was caught in a dilemma.

While he was thinking, Changjiang issued an alarm: “Dylan, the target has established a channel and is tracking our IP and launching an attack.”

Jiang Chen regained his senses, and immediately ordered: “Open the first-level firewall.”

During this period of time, he had been working hard to capture the system’s coding. At first, he captured only minor details, and the system didn’t pay attention to them. However, after the number of confrontations increased, the system probably guessed his intentions and became more cautious and cunning. In each confrontation, the effective coding captured by Changjiang decreased again and again, and even in a certain confrontation, Changjiang caught the virus deliberately buried by the system.

Even though Jiang Chen discovered it in time, the string of viruses still allowed the system to penetrate some gaps, so the system’s attacks became more and more violent during this period, and gave the feeling that it would not rest until the person behind the scenes was found out. Fortunately, the system did not catch the flaws in the security of the Changjiang Defense System, otherwise Jiang Chen would be found sooner or later.

Just when Jiang Chen thought that there would be another fierce battle tonight, the Changjiang Defense System automatically operated, the firewall was opened to the highest level, and a counterattack began. Jiang Chen withdrew his hand from the keyboard, looking at the codes that quickly slid up in front of him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

 ——The Changjiang Defense System finally possessed the embryonic form of its interstellar era version.

In less than ten minutes of confrontation, the system failed. The Changjiang Defense System not only captured the system’s code, but also automatically generated a folder, saved and analyzed the captured data, stored and marked as high-risk prevention targets, and strictly prevented the system from repeating its old tricks.

But in this complete victory, Jiang Chen was not without loss. The computer equipped with the Changjiang Defense System was scrapped.

This was within Jiang Chen’s expectation. In order to ensure the successful operation of the Changjiang Defense System, he had already upgraded the computer configuration to the highest level. However, for the Changjiang Defense System, this level was far from enough. It needed a more professional server to ensure smooth operation.

In this era, no single server could fully load and maximize the functions of the Changjiang Defense System. This hardware difference could not be overcome. Jiang Chen could only use the best servers in the world’s current technology to improve the Changjiang Defense System as much as possible.

And this kind of server was only available in the country’s top research institutes.

Although the current image processing project had given Jiang Chen a certain reputation in the circle at a certain level, it was far from enough to really make them interested. It was precisely because he knew this that Jiang Chen wanted to make achievements in the image processing system as soon as possible. Only when he truly demonstrated his own strength could he have the right to speak, so that the top few could truly recognize his value and open all doors for the research on the Changjiang Defense System.

After figuring this out, Jiang Chen also made a decision.

The next morning, instead of going directly to school, he told his parents what he thought, and then went directly to the institute. That afternoon, he had already asked the school for a long leave, and he would not return to school to review until a week before the college entrance examination.

Jiang Chen’s long leave sparked heated discussions in Yan No. 1 High School. Most of the year three high school students could only envy this, and a small number of people put themselves on the moral high ground and condemned Jiang Chen: Seeing that this year’s college entrance examination science champion was about to come from Yan No. 1 High School, the teachers spent countless efforts to train Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen asked for leave just like that, completely disregarding the honor of the school and the cultivation of his teachers.

When Shen Xu heard these words, he rushed forward with a shout, grabbed the boy who was speaking, and said condescendingly, “What did you just say? You have the balls to repeat that?”

In the past six months, Shen Xu’s stature had skyrocketed, and now he had broken through the 185cm mark. Although he still had a baby face, he was already taller than Jiang Chen and Huo Bo. So when he grabbed the boy under 175cm in this way it felt a bit like bullying the weak.

The boy was a little nervous, everyone in Yan No. 1 High School knew Shen Xu, not to mention his relationship with Jiang Chen and Huo Bo. Just his status as the president of the student union was enough to make ordinary students fearful.

“I didn’t say anything…..” The boy dared not admit it: “We were just chatting casually just now.”

“Chatting casually?” Shen Xu sneered, “Chatting casually about school honor? And even involving Jiang Chen?”

“I…..” The boy shrank his neck, “I was just talking casually…..”

Someone came over to smooth things over: “We’re all classmates in the third year of high school. There will be an exam later in the afternoon. Let’s take a step back and don’t quibble with him?”

Shen Xu let go of the boy, looked at the round-faced classmate who was trying to smooth things over, and said in a bad tone: “So you also think that Jiang Chen’s asking for leave is a disappointment to the school and a disappointment to you all?”

“No.” The round-faced classmate said: “We all have high academic pressure. Seeing that God Jiang can take a half year leave, everyone just can’t help feeling a little unbalanced, and just complained casually, so don’t take it seriously. Besides, it’s already the second semester of our third year of high school, and the college entrance examination is coming soon. If we get a demerit for fighting at this time, it would be bad for everyone, right?”

The boy and the others immediately nodded in agreement. Shen Xu saw the round-faced classmate’s indifference hidden under the playful smile, and squeezed his fists, feeling very uncomfortable, not for himself, but for Jiang Chen.

Ever since Jiang Chen asked for leave, there were not only such discussions among his classmates, but even some teachers were puzzled by his actions. Shen Xu heard that a teacher who did not teach Jiang Chen once mentioned this in his class, saying that Jiang Chen’s request for leave made the attention of the students in the third year of high school fluctuate, and it really set a bad example at the beginning of this semester. Because of this teacher’s public remarks, the matter of Jiang Chen asking for leave in the school turned from ordinary envy to persecution.

“Be careful what you say in the future.”

Shen Xu turned and left. Before he had gone far, a voice from behind floated over:

“On the next practice exam. I wonder whether it will be Chenghua or the attached secondary high school taking first place this time.”

“Probably Chenghua’s He Qianjian, I heard that he is very aggressive this semester, and studying in class and after class. He withdrew from the math competition before, so he has to fight hard in the college entrance examination.”

“If you ask me, Jiang Chen takes himself too seriously. Giving up after getting direct admission by Hua University. He Qianjian’s family background is so good but he is still sitting in the classroom obediently and attending class…..”

Shen Xu paused, turned his head and wanted to go back, but just as he moved, someone grabbed his arm. He turned his head to look: “Why are you here?”

“I didn’t see you in your classroom.” Huo Bo said lightly, “Let’s go.”

“Didn’t you hear what they said?”

Shen Xu didn’t lower his voice, and the voices of the people inside paused, and then there was the sound of footsteps leaving quickly.

“I heard.” Huo Bo glanced at the several people who ran away, his expression unchanged: “So what? You want to start a fight?”

“I…..” Shen Xu pursed his lips. He relaxed his tense muscles, rubbed his face and said, “I just don’t like what others say about Jiangzi.”

“Even if he heard it, what those people said would not affect him in any way.” Huo Bo turned around and said, “You should think about how many test papers you did when he comes back to collect the papers on the weekend.”

Shen Xu froze, quickened his pace to catch up with Huo Bo, and complained: “Jiangzi is so busy, and he still collects our test papers every week. Now whenever I see him calling on weekends I can only feel panic.”

Huo Bo sneered: “Isn’t it because you don’t hand in all the papers every time?”

“Is it my fault? There are already so many test papers to do in school every day, and I have to do Jiangzi’s test papers as well. I don’t have six hands to write with, and I have already entered the top 50 of our year. Although Hua/Yan Uni are a little far away, I can choose any other college in Yan City at will, so I can relax for a while now and then.”

“Then in the future, Jiang Chen and I are at Hua University, and you will be in the college next door?”

Shen Xu paused, kicked a stone, and said sullenly: “I just feel that the distance between us and Jiangzi is getting farther and farther. He has already entered a research institute before even entering university, and he has already determined the path he will take in the future. But me, I don’t know anything, I don’t know what I want to do. We said before that the three of us will start a company together, but now I don’t know what Jiang Chen thinks…..”

Huo Bo took out a stack of materials from his schoolbag, hooked an arm around his neck, and said with a smile, “Have a look.”

Shen Xu’s eyes fell on the cover of the document, and he was stunned for a moment: “Application form for enterprise name? Isn’t this only used when registering a company?”

Huo Bo smiled: “Think about the name of our company.”

“When did this happen?” Shen Xu was a little confused: “Why don’t I know?”

“Birthday surprise for you.” Huo Bo said: “We planned to wait until your birthday to tell you, but we decided to let you see it first because you have been thinking nonsensical things recently.”

“Registering a company…..” Shen Xu’s eyes lit up: “Will Jiangzi still start a company with us?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Of course.” Huo Bo stopped, handed the information to Shen Xu, and said slowly but seriously: “Since childhood, we have been walking on the same path, no matter who is faster and who is slower, the one who walks in front will stop and wait for the one behind. It was like this in the past, and it will be like this now and in the future. Now Jiangzi is going faster than us, so what we have to do is to catch up with him as much as possible and not let him wait too long.”

Source of Calamity CH 092 Car Accident Part 2

6 Comments

This was the closest Qin Yue was to death. Whether it was the car accident or the operating table, he felt the threat of his life dying, but at the same time, he felt that something had changed.

He watched Shen Zhen walk into the room, and this glance made Qin Yue feel an unstoppable sadness.

Qin Yue raised the corners of his mouth with difficulty, and greeted Shen Zhen: “You’re here.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Zhen also found that something was up with Qin Yue’s state. The expression on his face was like sorrow but also joy, which made Shen Zhen feel a little awkward.

Qin Yue raised his head and said to Zheng Xiao, “You go out first.”

Zheng Xiao greeted Shen Zhen and walked out of the ward.

Now there were only two people left in this space, Shen Zhen and Qin Yue.

Shen Zhen didn’t sit down, he got an uncomfortable feeling, so he just stood one meter away from the hospital bed, and asked Qin Yue: “Are you okay?”

Qin Yue finally had a smile on his face: “Fortunately, I didn’t die.”

Shen Zhen nodded. Qin Yue said to Shen Zhen: “Can you sit over?”

Taking into account that he had just experienced a car accident Shen Zhen sat on the chair next to the hospital bed.

“Xiao Zhen, I feel like I’ve had a dream.” Qin Yue breathed out, as if something that was pressing on him in the past but which he couldn’t see was finally shaken off by him, “I recalled our past, when I first learned to drive, it seemed that I almost had a car accident as well.”

Shen Zhen then said, “You stepped on the gas pedal but thought it was a brake.”

Qin Yue laughed, but his chest hurt, and his laughter turned into a cough.

Shen Zhen didn’t move. He knew that he should step forward and help Qin Yue, but he didn’t want to do it.

Qin Yue recovered by himself. He reached out to get the water glass beside the bed, but this time Shen Zhen reached out, picked up the water glass and handed it to him.

Qin Yue seemed to be much better after taking a sip of water.

“Do you remember the first time we fought?” Qin Yue seemed determined to recall the past with Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen didn’t speak.

Qin Yue spoke as if to himself: “I remember that time, I joked with you that when we grow up, you will leave the Shen family, and I will not stay with the Qin family either, we would go abroad together, regardless of things at home.”

Shen Zhen had long forgotten these things.

Qin Yue said again: “You said you still want to go back to the Shen family to have a look, and then I said that the Shen family doesn’t want you anyway, and if you do go back, they won’t welcome you either.”

“That was the first time you hit me.” Qin Yue smiled at Shen Zhen, with nostalgia for the past in his eyes, “That was a painful punch.”

Only then did Shen Zhen remember that he really beat Qin Yue badly that time, and Qin Yue didn’t fight back, but passively endured his anger.

Probably due to talking about the past, Shen Zhen’s attitude gradually softened, and he said, “Yeah, you looked quite tragic at that time.”

Qin Yue also noticed the change in Shen Zhen’s attitude, and the smile on his face became more sincere: “At that time, I thought, it’s a good thing for you to let out the discomfort in your heart rather than to hold back all the time. If I get beaten, I’ll get beaten. If it could make you feel better, then the beating was worth it.”

Shen Zhen didn’t speak, and Qin Yue didn’t continue. Shen Zhen lowered his head and asked after a few minutes: “Why did you suddenly recall all this?”

For Shen Zhen, these things had happened in his previous life.

He still remembered, but he was not as moved as before.

Qin Yue: “After the car accident, these memories surfaced by themselves.”

“I haven’t forgotten any of it this whole time, it was just like it had been covered in dust, but now I remember it very clearly.”

Shen Zhen asked indifferently: “What’s the point of saying this now?”

Qin Yue stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to hold hands with Shen Zhen, but Shen Zhen didn’t reach out, he just looked at Qin Yue.

The Shen Zhen in front of him made Qin Yue feel as if his heart was squeezed by a pair of big hands. It was so suffocating that he couldn’t breathe, or even gasp for breath.

Before he met Su Shiqing, he even bought an engagement ring.

He said: “I used to think that when we were in our twenties, I would accompany you to visit the Shen’s, and then we could go abroad together. We could start our own company after accumulating a few years of experience. There might be some hardships, but we would always get through them together.”

Shen Zhen listened to Qin Yue talking about his previous plans, just listening, and didn’t have any feelings in his heart.

Qin Yue probably thought of the past after returning from the gate of hell.

But the past was no longer important to Shen Zhen.

He had a new life, his own company, a lover, and a promising future.

He would not look back at the old scenery.

Besides, the old scenery was not so beautiful.

Qin Yue probably had a lot to say, and he likely didn’t expect Shen Zhen to give him any reply. These words were just what he wanted to say: “Actually, I bought a ring a long time ago, it was a platinum and diamond ring. You said you liked that style of ring at the time, so I asked someone to design it without telling you.”

At that time, Qin Yue, who was not yet 20 years old, had to follow Qin Xing during the day, accompany Qin Xin at night, and had to keep it a surprise from Shen Zhen. His daily sleep time was extremely short. He had to contact many jewelry designers and diamond sellers.

At that time, Qin Yue felt that it was probably the first big thing he did in his life. At that time, he was just a brat, his mind was full of the person he loved, and everything else was not important.

For the sake of his love, he could not inherit the Qin family that his mother had been urging him to inherit, and he could also give up his status as the eldest young master of the Qin family. He just hoped to go to a country with Shen Zhen that did not look at a same-sex couple strangely, and the two of them would start from the beginning and build their careers and love.

It was not until today that Qin Yue finally remembered the throbbing in his heart at that time, and his longing for that kind of future.

But now everything had become impossible.

He experienced Su Shiqing and Zheng Xiao successively, and Shen Zhen didn’t look like he was single either.

“Xiao Zhen, are you with Uncle now?” Qin Yue suddenly asked softly.

Shen Zhen didn’t answer.

Qin Yue smiled: “Don’t hide it from me, I was muddle-headed before, but now I figured it out. Uncle, he…..is better than me…..”

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Yue, and the two looked at each other, but there was no longer any lingering affection they once had.

Qin Yue coughed: “How is Uncle treating you?”

Shen Zhen didn’t hide it from him: “Pretty good.”

Qin Yue didn’t speak, he lowered his head, seeming to be in a very complicated mood. Just when Shen Zhen was about to get up and leave, Qin Yue suddenly asked: “If Uncle treats you badly, you can come to me.”

Qin Yue explained: “I don’t plan to restore our old relationship, the past is over and can never come back. But just as your once closest friend ever…..”

Shen Zhen: “I understand.”

“Zheng Xiao loves you very much, you should think about it.”

Shen Zhen thought of Zheng Xiao’s almost lowly and inferior attitude when he came to beg him, and he couldn’t help but say something.

Qin Yue was taken aback.

Shen Zhen: “I’ll be going now.”

Qin Yue watched Shen Zhen leave.

As soon as Shen Zhen left, Zheng Xiao came in from the door, and Su Shiqing also rushed in.

This time Su Shiqing pushed Zheng Xiao away again, and he accused Zheng Xiao of persecuting him: “Ah Yue! He kicked me out just now because he doesn’t want me in front of you. I didn’t do anything, I just wanted to take care of you, that’s all.”

Qin Yue looked at him calmly.

Su Shiqing didn’t know what happened yet, and continued talking about how rude Zheng Xiao was to him, practically saying that Zheng Xiao wanted to harm him.

Zheng Xiao was also feeling irritated. He didn’t fight with Su Shiqing because he didn’t want to give Qin Yue a headache, and he didn’t want to behave too pathetically. However, being accused by Su Shiqing all the time, he really wanted to rush over and beat Su Shiqing up.

“Zheng Xiao.” Qin Yue called Zheng Xiao’s name.

Zheng Xiao walked to Qin Yue’s side, and Qin Yue said: “Please take Mr. Su out, I don’t want to see him again in the future.”

After speaking, he said to Su Shiqing: “Mr. Su, you can pack up your belongings in my house. If you want money, I will also wire a sum of money to your account.”

Su Shiqing was speechless for a while. He didn’t know what happened. He suddenly recalled Shen Zhen who had just left, and shouted in a panic: “It’s Shen Zhen, what did Shen Zhen say to you? Everything he says is a lie!”

Su Shiqing’s emotions were on the verge of collapse. He had no way out. He couldn’t go back to the Su family. Chu Haoyi hadn’t contacted him for nearly half a year. None of the people who had shown interest in him before could compare to Qin Yue’s status. Moreover, he had offended Li Zhao now, and those who were not qualified enough dared not approach him at all.

“He’s just jealous of me!” Su Shiqing grabbed Qin Yue’s hand, his once pure and innocent face became extremely distorted, “He’s jealous that I can live well without needing to work as hard as him.”

“He’s jealous that I have your love.”

“He’s jealous of me!”

Zheng Xiao finally couldn’t listen anymore, and said beside him, “Aren’t you the one jealous of Brother Shen?”

Su Shiqing turned his head to look at Zheng Xiao, his eyes were bulging, and he looked a little scary. His eyes were bloodshot, and he said in an almost neurotic manner, “I’m jealous of him?”

“Why am I jealous of him? The people he loves belong to me, and the things he likes also belong to me.”

“Whatever I want, others will give it to me. But him? With that blank face of his, even if he cries, no one will sympathize with him.”

“He just has more money than me.” Su Shiqing said through gritted teeth, “But I’m not lacking at all when compared to him.”

From the time he came to the Qin family, no, from the time he first saw Shen Zhen, he kept wondering about why Shen Zhen had a life that was so much better than his.

Clearly, they were both people who were not liked by their own families.

Clearly, they were both living under someone else’s roof.

But Shen Zhen had Qin Yue, while he had nothing.

Why?

Su Shiqing had been thinking about this question.

But never found a real answer.

He tried many methods, he wanted to snatch everything that belonged to Shen Zhen into his own hands.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Would this prove that he was actually not lacking compared to Shen Zhen?

Su Shiqing looked at Qin Yue, and said almost crazily: “He is not as good as me, he is not as good as me in everything, you can’t choose him.”

“I love you the most.”

“I have all the qualities you like.”

“Let’s forget about the past and start over, okay?”

After Becoming The Tyrant

After Becoming The Tyrant CH 114 The Castle And The Ball

2 Comments

Everyone feared hell, where all sins finally come together.

In the long and winding River of the Departed in hell, the souls that crowd there have all committed unforgivable crimes. They came here not to wait for salvation but to eventually fall into the bottomless abyss.

This was the dark side of the world.

The translucent departed soul sat on a jagged rock, and he wore ancient and complicated attire. He was a court dramatist from many years ago. Now he was sitting on the strangely shaped rock, singing a very old story with his hoarse and deep voice in the howling wind. A story about contracts, blood and bones.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

In the description of the story, the true face of this world was countless fragmented authorities, and different races walked the earth, going all out to ascend to the supreme throne. Different races have different powers, but only humans alone did not. It was as if human beings were children abandoned by heaven and earth, born as grass and trees that were left to be trampled. The endless war, the endless death. In that era, someone wanted to seize the highest throne in the world, and use power and majesty to shatter all chaos.

In that absurd story, a King with nothing made a pact with a lonely Devil.

Their contract was destined to change the world from the moment it was born.

In the singing, the howling wind collided with the Peak of a Thousand Knives and dispersed into whimpers. The skeletons crawled on the ground, the smoke from the ironmaking blast furnace mingled, meteors fell, and the dragon skeleton raised its head…..

It was like, the world was falling apart because of the story in that song.

………………………

The Castle of Dragon Bones.

The crow Mela perched on the slender rose branch, looming at the throne of bones in the middle of the palace.

It was a throne made of shrunken bones of different hell creatures, gathered together, and then piled up with the most exquisite craftsmanship. The throne made of thousands of bones itself represented a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. That throne had been vacant for many, many years, but now it once again had its master.

The King sat on the throne of bones.

He no longer wore the crown that was used in the Pope’s coronation. The gold and gems twisted and changed shape silently, and finally turned into a crown of thorns, dotted with dark red gems. The crown of thorns encircled his temples, his silver hair hung down to his shoulders, and lace embroidered with silver threads decorated his collar and cuffs.

He opened his eyes.

The coldest, darkest, and most gorgeous palace in the world was reflected in the King’s ice-blue pupils.

The slender white bone pillars rose straight up, supporting the staggered vault ribs, and those curved long beams were built with the ribs of genuine legendary creatures. Countless flying buttresses were lined up on the side of the palace, like thousands of winged beasts flapping their wings in mid flight. The window lattices inside the castle were beautifully curved, forming thousands of patterns, and roses were everywhere. Starting from the rib frame like the open branches of trees, the roses traveled upward to the slender and luxurious fan-shaped vault, while the branches and leaves hung down around the bones.

Deep, deep down in memory there seemed to be a string that had been gently touched.

A kind of indescribable familiarity, like the wheel of time turning slowly, and more than a thousand years have passed by, but when the old friend returned after more than a thousand years, everything remained the same as before.

“Welcome back, my dear Majesty.”

The Devil stepped forward on a dark red carpet in a black suit with silver hems, a blooming rose pinned to his collar. This “soul merchant” from hell was tall and thin, pale and handsome, and as polite as a butler who had been guarding the mansion for his master for many years.

——Welcome back to the throne, welcome back to tear this world apart with me.

When he bent down in a bow, his voice held unprecedented joy.

“What is this place?”

The King asked.

“The Castle of Dragon Bones, your palace.”

The Devil answered.

The crow Mela was so excited that it almost wanted to cry, it imagined too many times the scene of the throne finally seating its owner. But when the time finally arrived, it didn’t dare to pounce forward and prostrate itself before the King. Because the Devil stood before the King’s throne, their gaze meeting in midair. The King’s face was expressionless, and the Devil’s face wore a smiling mask.

The air was tense.

The Devil seemed unaware.

“How rude.” He said briskly, “Your arrival is such an important day, everyone should congratulate you…..But please forgive them, after all, it takes a lot of time to come from the various territories.”

The “them” in the mouth of the Devil were the targets of the King and the Devil——the lords of hell.

 “So——”

The smile widened on the Devil’s face, and he extended his inviting hand to the King with grace.

“Would you like to attend a little ball? This is the castle’s invitation to you.”

When the Devil’s voice fell, all the rose vines coiled around the castle shook their leaves gently, and the rustling sound was as gentle as those beautiful departed souls whispering softly. Tiny specks of snow-like lights fell from the dome, and the empty palace shone a diamond-like brilliance.

The wind passed between the slender pillars and beams, and the slender eaves of the flying buttresses like winged beasts unfolding their wings. It turned out that the eaves were made of countless delicate bat wing bones. When they unfolded again, the thin wing bones flapped gently in the wind like a conductor’s baton. The wind was cut by the thin wing bones, making a strange sound, like thousands of slender hands plucking at the same time wind as their musical strings. The melody was extremely beautiful, forming a symphony that had never been seen before.

The Devil was right, it was indeed a welcome ball.

It was the castle that had been silent for many years that hosted this ball.

Over the heads of the Devil and the King, the exquisite stained glass windows opened one after another, and a pale light slanted down from above their heads. And there stood the Devil in a beam of light, in his black formal suit, reaching out to the King.

Gulu, gulu.

A skull rolled in, and the crow Mela spread its wings and landed in front of the skull. It found two drumsticks from nowhere, held them with its wings, and beat a drumbeat on the skull that accompanied the melody of the wind.

“There’s always dancing at a ball, Sire.”

The Devil invites.

The symphony played with the wind as the strings were poignant but also had an unprecedented magnificence, as if heaven and the earth were singing softly. The King felt a tinge of joy and anticipation——the joy and anticipation of the castle itself. Like Mela playing the drum, the castle looked forward to the King accepting their welcome.

He reached out his hand.

The Devil took the King’s hand with the rose ring, pulled him up, and led him off the throne. The moment the King accepted the Devil’s invitation, the melody of the wind suddenly became passionate, like waltz music at a ball. The Devil took the King in his arms and whirled him around in the middle of the empty palace.

The King attended quite a few balls. As Legrand’s monarch, he had received the most complete etiquette training, including dancing.

But the dance the Devil led him in was not any dance step seen at a human banquet.

The melody of the wind was magnificent, and the Devil held the King’s hand with the rose ring the whole time, and the King felt the ring gradually becoming hot. The rose vines wrapped around the white bones bloomed one after another, and following the roses blooming along with the elegant melodies, petals were blown down by the wind continuously, and were carried to all directions of the castle.

In the dead rooms of the castle, wherever the rose petals fell, silver coffins suddenly opened.

Out of the coffins came maids and servants dressed in gorgeous attire.

With their pale, delicate faces and dark red eyes, they began to tidy up the castle and let it become splendid again.

On the darkest side of the world, the Devil embraced his King, dancing to a melody of bones and wind. And at the moment the castle woke up, a cold light fell from the crack in the dark red sky of hell.

It was not the color of blood, it was not the orange of sulfur, but a cold and pale light like snow.

The singing departed souls of poets stopped, the kneeling skeletons raised their heads, the dead corpses hanging on the Peak of a Thousand Knives turned slowly, and the restless lords of the abyss fell silent. After so many years, other colors finally appeared in this dark world under the dark red sky.

A slice of pale moon rose slowly from the gap, slender and curved, inlaid in the sky like a sickle white.

Hell suddenly fell silent.

“Welcome back.”

The Devil whispered, a smile on his lips.

……………………

The scene of the meteor falling left a deep shadow on Terge, and by the time the moon rose in the sky of hell, it had a hunch that something bad had happened.

It struggled to understand from the other lords what the rising of the pale moon meant.

It was a pity that the lords who were similar in strength didn’t know much about it, and the lords who knew were much stronger than it, so it dare not ask.

The only consolation was that apart from the dragon’s roar that day, there was no other movement in that Blackstone Castle.

It probably wasn’t a big deal.

Terge comforted itself in this way.

Just when it was thinking this way, a black butterfly flew slowly into its lair. When it saw the black butterfly, Terge became vigilant almost subconsciously——all hell creatures knew that the black butterfly was the representative of the soul merchant.

Oh, hell! It didn’t do anything to provoke that lunatic, did it?

In front of Terge, the black butterfly shattered and turned into a black invitation card, fluttering down from midair.

Terge looked at the invitation card as if he was facing an enemy, and he only picked it up and held it in front of his eyes after confirming that there was no danger. It was a very delicate invitation card, and the gorgeous style of the invitation card was very reminiscent of the bloodkin who had disappeared from hell for many years. And on the invitation card, a piece of rose petal was used as the seal.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“What’s this?”

Terge asked suspiciously.

At the same time, all the lords of hell received exactly the same invitation.

The content of the invitation was about a banquet, which would be held in a few days.

The location of the banquet——

Blackstone Castle.

After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book CH 110 Ambiguity

After returning to the clubhouse suite, Jiang Chen went straight to the kitchen to tidy up the things he had just bought.

At the kitchen counter, he methodically sorted and placed the ingredients needed for each dish. Shi Fengyue had already taken off his coat and changed into home clothes and walked over. Jiang Chen raised his eyes, glanced at him, and opened the freshly bought chicken thighs, moving his attention back to the work at hand.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shi Fengyue leaned against the refrigerator next to him, and handed the mobile phone in his hand to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, and said casually, “What?”

Shi Fengyue leaned against the refrigerator, maintaining the gesture of handing the phone to him, and lazily said: “Test your memory.”

“I already saved your number.”

Jiang Chen didn’t take the phone, but took out a knife and began to process the chicken legs on the chopping board. Carefully and neatly, he removed the bones of the chicken legs in two or three strokes, and then cut the chicken meat.

Shi Fengyue stared at his bony and slender fingers, and the hand that wasn’t holding the phone unconsciously curled inwards, then gently rubbing the index finger and ring finger with the thumb. It was these two fingers that accidentally touched Jiang Chen’s spine in the supermarket just now. The smooth and delicate feeling seemed to still remain on his fingertips. Shi Fengyue put his hand in his pockets, stood up straight, and raised the phone in front of Jiang Chen’s eyes, as if challenging him: Did you forget?

Jiang Chen raised his eyes, and guessed that he was deliberately provoking him, but he already knew Shi Fengyue’s character very well. If he did not get what he wantrd at this time, the meal would remain interrupted by his perseverance, and who knew when it would be cooked.

“Changjiang.” He said in a clear voice, “Open the address book.”

The screen of the phone that Shi Fengyue was holding lit up, and the interface of the address book quickly showed up.

Jiang Chen said, “Save the contacts.”

The mobile phone screen followed the instructions again, and Jiang Chen repeated the long series of numbers recited by Shi Fengyue before, and accurately made notes on the kind of mobile phones and home phones corresponding to each number.

After all the numbers were stored, Jiang Chen also finished with the chicken legs. He put the chicken leg meat into the prepared bowl beside him, and the seasonings for marinating the chicken leg meat were also put in according to the proportion required. He grabbed the chicken leg meat casually to spread the seasonings, and after doing all this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Shi Fengyue: “Happy?”

Shi Fengyue put the phone into his pocket, and leaned forward with upward curving lips. He looked down at the shrimp Jiang Chen was handling, and asked, “What are you going to make?”

“Large prawns in tomato sauce and teriyaki chicken.” Jiang Chen said, “Two home-cooked dishes that I’m good at.”

“This shrimp is so fresh.” Shi Fengyue said.

Jiang Chen heard the underlying meaning, and glanced at him: “Because you picked it?”

“That’s not exactly the case.” Shi Fengyue smiled: “You also helped with the weighing.”

Jiang Chen raised the shrimp in his hand and shook it at him. The struggling shrimp, which was still alive and kicking, broke free with his movement, flew in a parabola, and jumped onto the bridge of Shi Fengyue’s nose with a snap, twisting and slapping from the bridge of his nose. Then sliding down, it jumped back into the kitchen sink.

For some reason, Jiang Chen suddenly recalled a sentence that fans who chased stars in later years often said when they were blowing rainbow farts: I want to slide on the bridge of my honey’s nose.

Now, this shrimp managed to do it.

Jiang Chen saw Shi Fengyue’s reflexively closed eyes slowly open, wiping away the shrimp-smelling water droplets that flowed to his lips with a look of disgust, and then showing a very unfriendly look at him. Jiang Chen held back his laughter again and again, his gaze lingering on the bridge of his nose that still had a wet trail on it, and he finally couldn’t hold back. His body bent over slightly, and holding the cooking table with his hands, he burst out laughing.

The fishy smell was even on the edge of his mouth, and it seemed that some of the water droplets had flowed into his mouth. Shi Fengyue wiped his mouth again, and narrowed his eyes in annoyance: “That funny?”

“What do you think?” Jiang Chen supported himself on the kitchen counter, his shoulders shaking in mirth as he looked up at him. Seeing him wiping his mouth again and again, his smile became even more uncontrollable. At the same time, he did not forget to tease: “How does it taste?”

“Do you want to try?” Shi Fengyue put down his hand, approached half a step, and looked down at Jiang Chen from his taller height, his lacquer-like black eyes which were originally quite sharp, but now when filled with annoyance, made them even more captivating.

Jiang Chen was not afraid at all, and he didn’t show weakness when he saw him looming over him. He regulated his breathing which almost failed from laughing so hard, and stood up straight. His eyes met the other’s, and still with a smile on his face, he teased: “There are also many people now who love to eat raw prawns, and drunken prawns is one of the dishes. I am just asking if it suits young master Shi’s taste.”

“My taste is basically the same as yours.” Shi Fengyue moved closer to him, almost touching nose to nose. Half of the light behind him was blocked by him, and his eyes seemed to appear dark in this angle: “If you like it, then I like it.”

“Why didn’t I know that we have the same taste?” Jiang Chen was calm and steady, and even if their breathing mingled together, he didn’t retreat at all.

Shi Fengyue’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes swept across his pink lips. Before, he had thought, how could a boy’s lips be so pretty, and the dimple on his side cheek simply made one want to…..Dark and light seemed to flicker in his eyes, and he moved closer again.

The tip of their noses touched each other, but neither seemed to notice. They just stared into each other’s eyes, as if they would lose something if they backed down. Eventually, Jiang Chen looked away after an unknown amount of time.

Shi Fengyue’s breathing was light and cool, like his person, but for some reason, this kind of coolness not only didn’t make people feel cold, but made Jiang Chen feel a little strange in his heart, just like how he felt in the supermarket. Or when he got an answer from Shi Fengyue, and then owed him one meal after another.

His gaze moved down and landed on Shi Fengyue’s perfect lips, his eyes dimming and his throat feeling a little dry for no reason.

The tips of their noses had already touched, and the distance between the lips could only be measured in millimeters. Jiang Chen and Shi Fengyue raised their eyes at the same time.

The temperature of the heating in the room was just right, but the temperature seemed to be still rising. The shrimps in the kitchen sink were alive and kicking, and the occasional splash was the only sound in this space other than their breathing.

His lips met with something cold, and Jiang Chen’s eyes moved down in astonishment. White jade-like fingertips were pressed against his lips, and the slightly calloused fingertips rubbed against his lips twice. Shi Fengyue moved back a little, retracting his hand, and all the emotions in his eyes had been suppressed, but his voice was a little more hoarse than before, “Like this taste?”

Jiang Chen came back to his senses, took half a step back and wiped his lips with the back of his hand. He smelled a faint fishy scent, and then remembered that the fingers that Shi Fengyue had used to rub his lips just now were the ones he used to wipe his own lips before.

His heartbeat seemed to come faster, and the suppressed dryness in his throat surged up again. Jiang Chen lowered his eyes and grabbed a fresh shrimp that had jumped out of the kitchen sink. Only then did he calm down, his tone casual: “I am the one handling shrimp, and the smell is much stronger than this.”

Shi Fengyue’s gaze fell on the slender neck that was exposed when the other lowered his head. His eyes darkened instantly, but he concealed it in an instant. He snorted softly, looked away, and responded without even knowing what he was talking about: “I hope it won’t smell fishy when it’s cooked later.”

“Don’t worry.” Jiang Chen also answered with mixed emotions, but his voice sounded a little absentminded: “Guaranteed to be delicious.”

“En.” Shi Fengyue nodded, leaning back on the refrigerator again: “I believe in you.”

The kitchen became quiet. Jiang Chen finished processing a plate of shrimps, Shi Fengyue’s gaze still on him, and he wiped his hands. He said casually, “You are just going to watch me cook?”

Shi Fengyue stood up straight, as if he had been waiting for his words: “Then is there anything I can help?”

“Chop up the green and red peppers.” Jiang Chen stepped back a little, allowing him to see the location of other ingredients: “And also peel the garlic.”

Shi Fengyue followed his instructions readily, and after washing his hands, he took the knife in Jiang Chen’s hand, and quickly cut according to his request. Jiang Chen glanced at him and was surprised by his neat knife skills. After recalling that Shi Fengyue worked with a scalpel, which was much more difficult than cutting vegetables, it was actually not surprising that he could cut  vegetables well.

With the help of Shi Fengyue, the preparatory work was done much faster than Jiang Chen expected. He turned on the fire and cooked the first dish in a short time. In less than half an hour, three dishes and one soup were served at the dining table.

Shi Fengyue watched Jiang Chen cook the whole time, and predicted that the taste of the meal should not be bad when looking at the process, but when he actually tasted it, only then did he realize that Jiang Chen’s cooking was so good.

He sincerely praised: “It’s delicious.”

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled, accepting his compliment.

“Especially the shrimp.” Shi Fengyue took a sip of his wine, and said with a half-smile: “I really can’t smell anything fishy at all.”

“Try this.” Jiang Chen picked up a shrimp and put it into Shi Fengyue’s bowl. “I marked it specially by cutting its tail. After you taste it, you might be able to recall the taste from just now.”

Shi Fengyue picked up the shrimp in the bowl, looked at it in front of his eyes, and laughed suddenly. Maybe because he just took a sip of wine, his voice seemed to sound slightly intoxicated: “No need to recall, I wouldn’t be able to forget it at all.”

Jiang Chen lowered his eyes, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, as if he didn’t understand what he was saying, “Try this dried celery, I’ve always thought it’s my best vegetable dish.”

Shi Fengyue glanced at the green celery piled on the rice, and raised his eyes to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen looked back with his lips curled up, and said with a smile, “Quickly try it.”

He picked up the smallest piece of celery, raised his eyebrows when he put it in his mouth, chewed it quickly and swallowed it, and immediately took a sip of red wine.

Jiang Chen smiled and asked, “How does it taste? You won’t forget it even if you don’t try to recall the taste, right?”

Shi Fengyue put down his wine glass, the mellow aroma of the wine mixed with the lingering celery taste jumping on his taste buds. He snorted a laugh without changing his face, “Yes, as long as you made it, I will never forget it.”

The eyes of the two collided, seemingly exchanging calm looks and at the same time confronting each other. A few seconds later, they chuckled at the same time, the ambiguity and testing of each other dissipating, and the floating emotions were hidden in a tacit understanding.

Jiang Chen also took a sip of wine, and recalling his previous curiosity, he said, “You have a house here, so why do you still live in the clubhouse?”

“I’m used to it.” Shi Fengyue’s hand paused, and he said casually.

Jiang Chen remembered asking Li Nanfeng the last time, Shi Fengyue clearly had to go to work in the hospital every day, but why didn’t he live in an apartment near the hospital, but instead seemed to stay at a different place every time. Li Nanfeng’s answer at that time was: He’s used to it.

So, what was Shi Fengyue used to?

Jiang Chen wanted to ask, but his eyes caught the other’s sudden apathetic look, and he swallowed the words that came to his lips. He was not one to be very curious about other people’s private life and character, and many times he would deliberately avoid touching on private issues or picking at other people’s past. But for some reason, every time he encountered Shi Fengyue, he always wanted to know more.

Jiang Chen looked at the distinct grains of rice in his bowl, and gradually became lost in his thoughts. Did he really not know why he was so interested in Shi Fengyue’s matters?

He actually did.

Jiang Chen was not a person who avoided his own feelings, on the contrary, he was a person who was very cautious in the face of any intimate relationship. In his opinion, one should not be reckless in establishing any intimate relationship. The closer the relationship, the more cautious one had to be. On the way back from the supermarket, including when he was just cooking, he had rationally analyzed his feelings for Shi Fengyue.

There was definitely a good impression, and maybe a little liking, but the deep love that must be there for two to be together did not exist. He had thought of several possible factors for having feelings for Shi Fengyue beyond the scope of friends. One was that Shi Fengyue himself was attractive enough, regardless of his physical conditions or his material conditions. The second was that they had spent a relatively long time together and shared common topics. The third was the unintentional physical contact that surpassed friends, such as the accidental kiss when eating together that day and the ambiguous touch in the supermarket today.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

As long as he was a man, he would inevitably be swayed by the sensory and physical contact. This was the inferiority of male creatures. Jiang Chen thought that it could not be avoided. In his opinion, Shi Fengyue’s ambiguity towards him may also be derived from this.

They both knew it well and were rational enough, so they could always step on the brakes before breaking the veneer. Even when being ambiguous and testing each other, they never crossed the bottom line, which just proved that they both had a tacit understanding that the other party was not suitable for each other.

AN: Shi Fengyue: It seems that our tacit understanding is not enough.

After Becoming The Tyrant

After Becoming The Tyrant CH 113 Crazy

Hell, an abyss.

Terge was a lord of hell.

It hid in one of the abysses of hell, hiding its power in rocky beaches and black mists. At some point, it was able to release its incarnation into the human world through the cracks on the night of Saint Val, where the boundary between hell and the human world was blurred, devouring the lost in the wilderness.

But in hell, Terge was just an inconspicuous one among many lords.

What was hell?

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Here was the place where all sins gather, the palace of evil. All creatures living in hell had blood and violence written into their flesh and bones from the moment they were born. In fact, bloody battles were fought in hell all the time.

Because hell was dead a long time ago, the dark red bloody curtain in the sky was the blood of hell.

When hell was not dead, there were endless undying dark forces, these forces were the source of many creatures in hell. But when Hell died, it became dry and barren, and even the creatures of Hell found it difficult and harsh to live in. There was always a fierce wind blowing in the wilderness that could grind the soul away little by little, and a murky odor that even they didn’t want to ingest contained within the dark red sulfurous fire rain.

Those powerful demons that crawled out of the Wall of Insects could still be relatively free, but ordinary dead creatures, such as skeletons, could only dismantle themselves and spread themselves on the rocks, using slumber to resist the erosion of extinction.

The only better places were some gaps that could communicate with the mortal world——from those gaps, the evil thoughts of the mortal world could continue to pour in.

It was precisely because of this that the lords of hell were always fighting, killing, and taking over places. It could be said that this was the most primitive battlefield.

Terge was a Lord of Hell who had occupied a gap.

It successfully killed the lord next door with a tricky scheme three days ago, and expanded its territory a little. When spreading his lair, Terge looked greedily at the direction of his east, and its countless compound eyes were full of longing.

In the chaotic hell, the ownership of territories was changing almost all the time.

Except for one place——

The City of Blackstone.

There was the territory guarded by the lunatic who called himself a “soul merchant”.

The Wall of Hundred Insects, the River of the Departed, the Peak of Thousand Knives, and the Royal City were all there. It could be said that it was the best place in the whole hell! There was the best sulfur lake, it was the closest to the gate of hell, and the Peak of Thousand Knives could block some fierce winds.

Most importantly, there was the “Blackstone Castle”.

All hell lords coveted that castle, instinctively eager to occupy it, the highest authority in hell.

It was not that there were no lords who tried to snatch it for themselves.

In fact, the moment all the lords of hell gazed upon it, they would feel endless greed——all evil creatures wanted to occupy a higher and more terrifying authority, and that castle was the highest authority and most splendid palace in the entire hell. But for more than a thousand years, no other lord had been able to successfully step in there.

All the lords who tried to claim it failed.

Even in Hell, there had been so many battles over that castle that the scalps of all creatures tingled, and tremors rose from the depths of their souls.

Most of the higher creatures in hell possess special abilities, and their inheritance was engraved in memory, which they have possessed since birth. The older the race, the richer the memories.

Terge had seen some gruesome scenes in his inherited memory, which were the battles that broke out around the “Blackstone Castle”.

——A swarm of black butterflies soared into the sky, drowning the tide-like army of bones. The terrible ancient lords who joined forces and the black-clothed Devil who claimed to be just a “soul merchant” fought in mid-air, and both sides used everything at their disposal. The final result of the battle was that the allied lords retreated, and the Devil in black stood on the tower of the castle, slowly wiping his sword.

It was just a pity that there were too few memories passed down, and it didn’t know what had happened in hell a long time ago.

Only the oldest lords know about “Blackstone Castle” and everything it stood for. But even for them, that seemed to be a taboo that could not be mentioned.

For so long, all the hell lords yearned for the castle made of black stone and serpent bones, it was engraved in their nature, but there was always a veil over the past it represented.

Taboo, mystery, danger.

After peeking at the palace like a vicious dog salivating at bones, Terge while drooling prepared to return to his lair. However, just when it turned its countless compound eyes, a mutation happened.

A crack was suddenly torn open in the dark red sky of hell, and a blood-colored meteor fell from the crack, crashing towards the royal city.

The moment the meteor fell, the wind in the wilderness suddenly became violent, and the sound was as sharp as the wail of a banshee. The air vibrated, and the sulfur boiled, as if monstrous swelling water suddenly surged from a calm lake.

At the moment when the meteor was about to fall on the castle, on the Blackstone Castle, the serpent bones winding and entrenched on the mountain suddenly rose high, and all the pale and slender spurs were gathered in an instant, the serpent bones shifting in a strange and weird way. And at the moment when the meteor fell, the giant serpent’s skull fully opened, and it let out a deafening roar towards the sky.

The roar was majestic and terrifying.

That was, a dragon’s roar!

When he heard the dragon’s roar, Terge suddenly understood one thing——the thing that was entrenched on Blackstone Castle was not a serpent’s skeleton, but the bones of a dragon that had been mistaken for a giant serpent because of its enormous size and length!

That was the long neck and head of a dragon!

A flock of black butterflies soared into the sky in macabre dance, flooding that area, and the dragon’s roar from the white bones echoed for a long time, the sound echoing the ancient times.

The whole hell was clamoring.

All the ancient beings woke up from their long sleep, and they roared in disbelief. All the sound waves gathered together, the ground shattered in countless places, and lava splashed, anger, fear…..all strong and complicated emotions erupted in an instant.

The black butterflies dispersed, and the King opened his eyes in the castle built on the skeleton of a dragon.

The moment he opened his eyes——

The Millennium Kingdom was brazenly opened.

………………

1433, spring.

“The Holy Lord forgave the sins of the world in this year, and we should repent with shame that we questioned God.” The last court chronicler of the Bressi Kingdom used this sentence as the ending words of the dynasty record. After finishing writing, he bowed submissively to the silver cross in the room.

After the mighty miracle descended, the Black Death that instilled fear in the people disappeared.

At the moment when the angels appeared in the clouds, people’s doubts about the Holy Court in recent years were blown away like dust on a diamond. The prestige of the Holy Court had reached an unprecedented peak. On the east side of the Abyss Strait, people flocked frantically to the embrace of God, knelt down in front of the priests, and kissed the backs of their feet.

After the miracle, the Pope walked out of the Acellia Cathedral to the cheers of all the people who greeted him.

King Charles knelt at the Pope’s feet, took off his crown, and offered it to the Pope on both hands. The moment the secular crown overlapped with the divine crown, the Kingdom of God, was born.

The Kingdom of Bressi was history, replaced by:

“The Holy Empire”.

On the first day of the establishment of the Holy Empire, the Pope announced that the divine calendar would be implemented from now on, and 1433 would be changed to the first sacred year. Silver crosses hung from all government offices.

The Pope, or the Emperor of the Holy Empire, the first thing he did after his coronation was to cleanse the heresy.

……………………

Holy Empire, Pete Town.

In a hotel, a handsome poet with a sad face dipped in ink to write a letter.

“Dear Annie:

Forgive me for calling you “Annie”, you know my current situation. I must be careful, I must not leave any traces for them to find you. As long as there is even a ten thousandth of danger, I would not bring them to you——you know, I am willing to give up my life for you.

I don’t know if I’m crazy or if the world is crazy.

Alby, my friend, had been put to death——for heresy! ! !

God! Alby, he was so kind, he could recite the holy book backwards, how could he be a heretic! They burned him just because he protested when that stupid and greedy priest Tom became the country lord of Collin.

…..Floggers are also considered heretics, but they are just devout believers who do nothing but chant and flog themselves——is it a sin to refuse luxury? I don’t know why.

Can you believe it? I have seen many people who are extremely fanatical, but their fanaticism terrifies me.

…..I believe in the Holy Lord, I believe in the Holy Lord, but are they really right? My dear lady, please be careful, anyone who behaves a little out of the ordinary may be considered a witch and a heretic these days.

I watched heresies increase day by day, and witches seem to be everywhere, but I dare not say anything.

I think they’re close to finding me.

…..

What more can I say?

Will I be able to write tender love poems for you again? Will I still be able to touch your eyebrows?

What should the nightingale sing for now?”

Just when he was about to write his name, the door of the room was smashed open.

The poet was startled at first, then subconsciously grabbed a pile of manuscripts on the table and tucked the unfinished letter into his clothes. When he had just finished all this, the knights of the Inquisition dragged him out.

The fire rack was erected in the square of the town, and the inquisitors were dressed in black robes that symbolized the sacred majesty. They held the holy book in their hands, and devout believers had already surrounded them.

The poet was not alone in being judged together.

There were also old merchants, young virgins, blind old women who make a living from massaging people…..

The first to be judged was the poet.

The inquisitor held up a scroll with transcribed verses: “We hurt the weak who are innocently despised/We turned out to be servile executioners/We want are utterly foolish, a tribute to bull-headed stupidity/We kissed dumb fools and express infinite worship/We bless the glimmer of corruption…..How dare you write such blasphemous and sinful words?”

“I have not blasphemed the Lord.” The poet tried to defend himself, but his voice was drowned in the angry reprimands of the crowd.

The crowd shouted loudly:

“Burn this heretic!”

“Sinner! Go to hell!”

“Burn him!”

……

The stone hit his face, blood flowed down, and the poet lowered his head in despair.

The interrogation continued.

“You have been accused of dealing with the devil. You wandered around at night because you were guided by evil spirits, didn’t you?” The priest asked the terrified little girl.

The little girl choked: “I don’t, I don’t know.”

“She lies! The red mark on her face is a contract with hell!” The accuser in the crowd shouted.

The poet turned his head and saw that the little girl had a red birthmark on her face.

“You lack repentance!”

The inquisitor shouted angrily.

The little girl burst into tears.

The poet looked around——the potbellied priest with a gorgeous jeweled ring was sitting in the mayor’s place, and everyone knew he was just a greedy fool; the young girl sobbing fearfully…..Fury swept over him and suddenly he broke free from the knight holding him, and stood up:

“She is innocent!”

The crowd booed.

How could one heretic justify another witch?

Small stones came from all directions, and the poet was the first to be dragged to the stake, and the papers of poems in his arms were scattered all over the place in the struggle.

“She is innocent!”

“She’s not a witch!”

“That accuser just wants a reward!”

……

He was still yelling.

The person who reported the little witch was full of anger: “He’s crazy! He’s a lunatic!”

The priest delivered his sentence:

“David and Sibylah testify;

The world will melt in fire,

That day is the day of God’s wrath,

When judgment comes in the future,

Everything will be cross-examined and strictly settled

How I shall tremble!”

The knight threw the flaming torch on the young poet. A piece of poem draft flew up, and the poet saw his own words. At the moment when the fire rose, he let out a mournful wail.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He wailed, because the scarlet fire and pain distorted his face, but he still repeated to everyone:

“She’s not a witch! We’re not sinners!”

“You are the ones who are sinners! You are the ones who are wrong!”

Under his wailing, the people trampled over his poems, no one paid attention to what was written on them, but cursed angrily:

“He’s crazy!”

After parting ways with Shen Zhen, Qin Yue left the restaurant and drove home.

He no longer lived in the Qin family manor and moved all his belongings out. Before, he lived with Su Shiqing. After Su Shiqing left, he lived with Zheng Xiao. Now both Su Shiqing and Zheng Xiao lived under the same roof with him. Qin Yue himself felt that the situation had become ridiculous.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

But he didn’t know how to change the status quo.

He felt that he still loved Su Shiqing, but he had lost the motivation to be with Su Shiqing again.

He also didn’t know how he felt about Zheng Xiao.

All he knew was that being with Zheng Xiao was very relaxing.

Qin Yue was distracted while driving. As soon as he turned the steering wheel, he saw a small truck rushing out. Qin Yue stepped on the brake at the fastest speed, but still collided with the small truck. The airbag popped out instantly, Qin Yue Yue’s head bounced back and then bounced on the airbag.

“Call 120!”

“There is a car accident! Is there traffic police? Are the traffic police here?”

Qin Yue’s consciousness had not completely left him yet, and no matter what he looked at, he felt like it was covered with a white veil.

Just before Qin Yue completely lost consciousness, what he saw in front of him was a familiar figure. It seemed to be a scene from before Su Shiqing appeared. He was standing behind Qin Xing, and not far away, Shen Zhen was smiling at him from behind the door.

All his discomfort, pain, and dilemma seemed to have started with the appearance of Su Shiqing.

Before Su Shiqing appeared, he was a proud son of heaven and the successor of Qin Xing. (TN: proud son of heaven expression meaning God’s favored one/an unusually lucky person/specially privileged person)

Shen Zhen was always by his side at that time.

Qin Yue felt that he was going to die.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Yue finally regained consciousness.

But he suddenly discovered that he couldn’t see anything, and couldn’t move his hands and feet. He could however hear voices and feel someone touching him. His senses of touch and hearing were intact, but he couldn’t control his body.

He heard someone say, “Hemostat.”

Now Qin Yue understood that he was on the operating table. He had a car accident and was currently getting his wounds stitched up.

Qin Yue wanted to open his mouth, and wanted to tell the doctors and nurses that he was still conscious. The anesthesia only paralyzed his body, but did not paralyze his senses.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make a sound.

Soon, following the doctor’s actions, he felt heart-piercing pain, but he had to endure it all awake, and he couldn’t even faint.

For a moment, he felt that the car accident did not kill him, but the operation would.

Don’t know how long it took, but after the operation was completed, when Qin Yue was conscious again he felt himself being pushed into a ward.

He also heard the voice of the doctor ordering the nurse.

Knowing that he could only wait for the anesthetic to lose its effect, Qin Yue didn’t make any further struggles.

After a few minutes, Qin Yue heard footsteps coming from the door.

Su Shiqing’s voice rang in his ears, asking the nurse anxiously, “Is he all right? Will his life be in danger?”

The nurse said: “His injuries missed the vital organs, so he just needs to rest for a while.”

Su Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to the nurse, “Go and do your work, I will watch him.”

The nurse didn’t say anything: “If there is a situation, ring the bell beside the bed and I will come.”

Su Shiqing: “Okay, you’ve worked hard.”

After the nurse left, Qin Yue felt Su Shiqing sitting beside him.

At this moment, Qin Yue was still a little moved. After all, Su Shiqing was the first person to rush to his side. Although he couldn’t speak now, he felt a lot more at ease.

Su Shiqing sat beside Qin Yue. He looked at Qin Yue’s face and whispered, “Ah Yue, I have a lot to say to you.”

Su Shiqing also knew that it was impossible for Qin Yue to answer him right now, so he spoke to himself: “During the time I was with Li Zhao, I often thought of you, and I know you don’t like Li Zhao.”

Qin Yue naturally couldn’t answer.

Su Shiqing added: “Sometimes I really envy you and Ah Zhen, you both were born with silver spoons.”

“But what about me? I have never been taken seriously at home since I was a child. My brothers and sisters in the family don’t like me, complaining that I always cry.”

“But if I don’t cry, I won’t ever get what I want.”

“No one cares about me, I can only rely on this method to make others notice me.”

Su Shiqing seemed to feel aggrieved as he spoke, even though there were no spectators, he still began crying.

Su Shiqing: “I hate Ah Zhen, I never told anyone this.”

“He lived in the Qin family since he was a child. Unlike me, people in the Qin family value him more. I have no status in the Qin family. He took me back to the Qin family just to show off to me.”

Qin Yue was dumbfounded.

He knew that Shen Zhen was a person who didn’t like trouble, and he didn’t know how to show off. He brought Su Shiqing back to the Qin family manor out of a moment of kindness.

When Su Shiqing mentioned Shen Zhen to himself before, he was always grateful for Shen Zhen’s help to him.

So this was what he really thought all this time?

Su Shiqing’s voice was full of tears, and he said with sobs: “I still remember when I first arrived at the Qin family. When Shen Zhen introduced you to me, you only had Shen Zhen in your eyes. At that time, you loved Shen Zhen very much, right? When you look at him, it is different from how you look at others, so I thought, if only one day you could look at me like you look at him.”

“In that case, I wouldn’t care about Shen Zhen’s malice towards me.”

Su Shiqing: “You don’t know how happy I was when you spoke to me for the first time.”

“It was like getting my first car toy when I was a child. That car toy belonged to my cousin at first. When my uncle saw that I liked it, he gave it to me.”

When Su Shiqing said this, there seemed to be a bit of pride in his tone: “It’s been like this since I was a child. People would give me whatever I want, because I am likable. Even people who don’t like me would like me eventually after they come in contact with me.”

“Ah Yue, I will treat you better when you wake up.”

“That Zheng Xiao, I have never regarded him in my eyes, I know that no one can take you away from me, you still love me, right?”

Su Shiqing suddenly lay down, leaned his head lightly on Qin Yue’s chest, and listened to Qin Yue’s heartbeat.

“Whatever I want will be mine in the end.”

These were the last words Qin Yue heard, and then he finally slipped into unconsciousness.

Only now did the anesthesia have an effect on his consciousness.

When Qin Yue woke up again, he opened his eyes and saw that besides Su Shiqing, there was also Zheng Xiao. Su Shiqing was sitting beside him, while Zheng Xiao sat in a seat a little farther away from the hospital bed and peeling apples.

Su Shiqing was sleeping on Qin Yue’s chest, which made Qin Yue feel very uncomfortable, but he had no strength currently and was unable to push Su Shiqing away.

Zheng Xiao saw Qin Yue’s movements at this time, and hurried forward. He pulled Su Shiqing up from Qin Yue’s chest. After all, he didn’t have a good relationship with Su Shiqing so Zheng Xiao wasn’t very gentle either. Su Shiqing only woke up after falling to the ground. He stared dazedly for a few seconds with his eyes wide open, then bit his lips tightly with an aggrieved expression and stood up.

“Ah Yue.” Su Shiqing stood up after reacting, and pushed away Zheng Xiao who was standing next to him. He leaned in front of Qin Yue and said, “Are you feeling better? How do you feel now? Are you uncomfortable anywhere? Do you need to call a nurse? I can call the nurse for you.”

Qin Yue said weakly: “No need.”

Su Shiqing didn’t move.

Probably because Su Shiqing was here, Zheng Xiao opened his mouth several times, but in the end said nothing.

Su Shiqing was still talking about how worried and sad he was after Qin Yue’s accident. As if, if Qin Yue were to die, he would follow right after.

If it was before, Qin Yue would definitely feel distress and comfort him.

And even feeling that Su Shiqing loved him so much, he would definitely reciprocate the same affection.

However, now, Qin Yue had suddenly lost this feeling. He clearly knew what kind of reaction he should make in such a situation, as if there was a script, and he needed to act according to the script, and act sincerely.

This strange feeling made Qin Yue a little dazed. Dazedly, he felt as if he had been reborn.

“Ah Yue?” Seeing that Qin Yue hadn’t spoken, Su Shiqing became a little anxious again.

Qin Yue said hoarsely: “You go out first.”

Su Shiqing quickly turned to Zheng Xiao and said, “Ah Yue told you to go out first.”

Qin Yue interrupted him: “I’m saying this to you!”

Su Shiqing looked at Qin Yue in disbelief, as if he didn’t believe that Qin Yue said those words.

Qin Yue looked at Zheng Xiao, and now Zheng Xiao finally had a legitimate reason to drive Su Shiqing out.

When Su Shiqing was kicked out by Zheng Xiao, he was shocked. He wanted to shout, but he was in the hospital after all, so he could only glare at Zheng Xiao angrily, then turned and walked out.

He didn’t believe that Zheng Xiao could take this opportunity to make Qin Yue fall in love with him.

After all, he still had self-confidence. He was confident that Qin Yue couldn’t fall in love with anyone except himself.

As for the source of this confidence, Su Shiqing himself couldn’t explain clearly, he could only think that it was his intuition, his sixth sense.

After Su Shiqing left the ward, Qin Yue said to Zheng Xiao, “Call Shen Zhen for me and ask him to come over.”

Zheng Xiao didn’t ask any questions, just nodded and answered yes.

It was also at this time that Shen Zhen knew that Qin Yue was in a car accident.

He was sitting in Qin Xing’s office at this time. Qin Xing was reading the quarterly report at his desk, while Shen Zhen was playing a game on Qin Xing’s tablet out of boredom.

Every once in a while Qin Xing would raise his head to look at Shen Zhen, and then Shen Zhen would also raise his head as if he had a telepathic connection with Qin Xing. They would exchange a smile, and then continue to go back doing their own thing.

There was no need to say anything between the two of them, there was naturally a thread of affection flowing between them, quietly and invisibly, but which also couldn’t help but make people blush and their heart beat faster.

“Qin Yue is in the hospital?” Shen Zhen frowned and asked Zheng Xiao, “What happened?”

Qin Xing also looked over.

Shen Zhen mouthed “car accident” at him, and continued to ask: “Which hospital, which ward? I’ll go there now.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

After Zheng Xiao reported the address, Shen Zhen put the tablet back on the table.

Fortunately, it was a stand-alone game, no need to disconnect.

Shen Zhen straightened his collar and said to Qin Xing, “I’m going to the hospital first, will you go there when you’re free?”

Qin Xing nodded, with a complicated expression: “You go first.”

Shen Zhen left the office.
