#458 - Chapter 457: Quotes from the Heaven-shattering Fairy
“Zha Yin, did you see the corpse of that space ability dwarf called Puli Kong?”
Returning to the underground base, Qi Jing looked at the empty secret room except for bloodstains and asked:
“I remember he died here just now? Could his body have been blown to pieces? That shouldn't be possible, right?”
Not even a corpse piece was left. Even if it was blown to pieces, it shouldn't be so empty.
Unfortunately, his single-person teleportation gate was in the corridor, and the clone guarding it couldn't see what was happening in the room, nor did it hear anything.
Tan Zuo Yin guessed:
“Could it be that there's another space ability dwarf who took his body away?”
“Are dwarfs that impressive? There are actually two space ability users, almost as many as I've seen in the academy.”
Qi Jing has only seen two space ability users in his life, one is Shui Bingbing, the principal of Bing District, and the other is Kong Que, a level five ability user.
Every space ability user is a strategic resource. The Dwarf Society actually has two?
Unlikely.
Even if they did, they wouldn't send them to do the same task.
“Could it be that the [Source of Mud] did it?”
Hearing Tan Zuo Yin's words, Qi Jing instantly hugged her, burying his face in her chest:
“Damn, don't scare me. If it's not an item and can move, then it's a creature on the same level as the Time Whale King. Wouldn't we just become a pair of doomed lovers if we encountered it?”
Tan Zuo Yin nudged him with her elbow:
“So, let's get out of here quickly. What's the deal with you hugging me?”
“Right, right, it's just that I subconsciously think your side is the safest~”
“Stop being glib, hurry up and run.”
“Yes, ma'am!”
Qi Jing bent down, scooped up Tan Zuo Yin's knees, and rushed forward.
They didn't even take the elevator, directly escaping vertically along the wall from the 3,500-meter elevator shaft, without using the badge Dai Li gave them.
After leaving the Dai Li Yuzu Company, Qi Jing didn't stop until he reached the Other Dimension Gate alien world base.
He put down Tan Zuo Yin, looked back at the brown world behind him, and sighed:
“The environment here is really terrible. Most of the time, there's no sunlight, and there's a depressing feeling. How do these desert people survive here? I wouldn't be able to stay for even a day.”
“There's no choice. There's water and food here, which is much better than the desert outside.”
“The people in the desert are so miserable. I suddenly feel so lucky that we were born happier than them.”
“It'll be good when you draw 'World Peace'.”
“That's not certain.”
They didn't stay in Mud City for long, and walked straight into the Other Dimension Gate.
Qi Jing could sense that the part of this light sphere buried underground had a huge pipe connecting the super mud swamp water purifier on the Mud City side of Dai Li Yuzu Company and Sand City.
It seems that this is one of Boss Dai Li's welfare projects for Sand City.
“I didn't expect Dai Li Yuzu Company to really be a good company, and the Sand City heroes are really heroes. I thought they were all conspirators.”
“Times have changed, and it's not easy to be a bad guy anymore.”
Tan Zuo Yin said while pulling Qi Jing towards the outside of the base:
“In the past, bad guys who liked to oppress others did so because no matter what they did, they wouldn't suffer any loss of life.
Even if they lost, only the people below would lose their lives, and they would at most lose some money.
But now, if those bad guys are even slightly unkind to someone, who knows what one-for-one ability they might awaken, and they might really kill themselves in a fit of rage.
So, either be thoroughly bad, greatly increase the importance of cutting weeds and eliminating roots, and be ruthless.
Or be a good person, leave people a way out, and don't force people to the point where they can't survive.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise of being afraid of death. If those bad guys aren't afraid of death, then things will be different.”
After saying this, Tan Zuo Yin felt great at the moment, simply a great philosopher. Fang Sheng, that lazy guy who doesn't like to use his brain, should be shocked by my words.
But when she turned her head, she actually found Qi Jing writing and drawing on a small notebook.
She leaned over and asked:
“What are you writing?”
Qi Jing turned his head and smiled mischievously:
“'Quotations from the Heaven-Defying Fairy Zha Yin', it will be passed down through the ages in the future, so I have to record it well.”
“You son of a b*tch, you're not allowed to write it! Tear it up!”
When Tan Zuo Yin heard Qi Jing's words, she was immediately ashamed and immediately reached out to grab the small notebook in his hand.
How could anyone still write this kind of thing these days! Isn't this just a record of embarrassing black history from middle school?
But who is Qi Jing? Could he let her snatch the thing in his hand?
He held the small notebook in his left hand and stretched it above his head, not letting Tan Zuo Yin touch it, and put his right arm around her shoulder:
“My Zha Yin is just too awesome. Not only does she have the intelligence to deceive Boss Dai Li, but she can also say such shocking philosophical thoughts. I must record them well and spread them to the world!”
Tan Zuo Yin waved her arms and claws under Qi Jing's shoulders, disregarding her image, but she couldn't break free from his embrace no matter what:
“Silly bird Fang Sheng, I'm going to bite you, tear it up for me!”
Qi Jing took off his helmet and mask, leaned close to Tan Zuo Yin's ear:
“No, no, no, my Zha Yin is so awesome. Wouldn't it be a loss to the world if I didn't show it to others? How can I tear it up? Zha Yin, don't be too selfish.”
“You son of a b*tch, you're even accusing me of being selfish? I'm going to, I'm going to bite you now!”
“It's impolite to swear, Zha owo owo~ It hurts~ Stop biting, stop biting, here, here you go, I'll tear it up, I'll tear it up~”
Click~
An extremely loud photo-taking sound came from their ears.
Huh?
Who's taking pictures?
Qi Jing and Tan Zuo Yin instantly stopped fighting and turned their eyes to the direction of the sound.
It was an old man with half-white hair, wearing a red shirt with five stars painted on it, holding a black camera in his hand, facing the two of them.
Click~
Another picture.
Tan Zuo Yin quickly let go of her mouth biting Qi Jing's cheek, and turned her head away shyly, whispering:
“It's all your fault~”
“Ahem, grandpa, that.”
As soon as Qi Jing said a few words, the old man smiled and handed over two photos, saying:
“It's good to be young. These are the photos I took for you. I'll give them to you as a gift. I didn't keep a backup, just to record life.”
Qi Jing took them and found that the two photos showed the scene of Tan Zuo Yin hugging him and gnawing on him just now.
Tan Zuo Yin took the opportunity to turn around and snatched the small notebook from his hand, and then asked the old man:
“Grandpa, why did you come here alone?”
His outfit shows that he is a local.
But he's so old, and his vitality isn't strong either. Why is he still wandering around in this desert alone?
“I came here for tourism. What, do you want to hear the old man tell you my story?”
The old man looked at the two young lovers with interest.
Qi Jing and the others could both tell that he really wanted to tell them, so they nodded:
“Yes, we love listening to stories the most.”
