#412 - Chapter 411 That Person
After saying those words, Li Chenqiu felt as if he had exhaled a breath that had been trapped in his chest for a long time. The cool night breeze seemed to enter through the screen window at this moment, taking advantage of every breath to fill every nook and cranny.
Empty, cold, directionless, like the wilderness at night. This was Li Chenqiu's first feeling. He held his breath, listening to his own heartbeat, quietly waiting for Li Ji's answer.
Tick, tock, tick, tock...
The room was very quiet, and only the sound of the clock's second hand could be heard.
Li Ji didn't answer Li Chenqiu's question immediately, remaining silent for a long time.
Li Chenqiu asked again, "Boss, do you know about the New World?"
"New World," Li Ji said slowly, lowering his eyes, no longer looking directly at Li Chenqiu, as if he was trying to hide something.
Li Chenqiu interlaced his fingers, leaned his body forward slightly, looked down at the shadow on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Boss, you should know that my mother was thrown from the building by Wang Zhongshan two years ago!"
"I know," Li Ji responded softly.
Li Chenqiu tilted his head to look out the window, and continued in a calm tone, "After Wang Zhongshan threw my mother down the building, he left directly. Later, when the ambulance and the Security Division arrived, my mother was gone..."
He paused suddenly, revealing a bitter smile: "A month later, people from the Special Abilities Division found a Resurgent in the community. His ability was invisibility. They said that my mother should have been eaten by that Resurgent."
Li Ji asked, "Why are you bringing this up suddenly?"
"Two months ago, I met a Resurgent in City 200. His ability was also invisibility, and he had been to City 11 two years ago, and came to the community where I lived, and saw my mother's body..."
"And then?"
Li Chenqiu shook his head: "Then I don't know. He said he couldn't remember. If there are no accidents, this guy is the Resurgent that the Special Abilities Division discovered a month later.
At that time, Wang Zhongshan said that he had purged this Resurgent, but now it seems that it was a lie. The Special Abilities Division does not have the ability to purge a Seventh Forbidden Resurgent, to be precise... a New World Seventh Forbidden Resurgent."
Speaking of this, Li Chenqiu no longer deliberately avoided his gaze, and looked directly at Li Ji: "I don't think this Resurgent walked to the downstairs of my house because of coincidence, but when I want to ask more.
For example, why did you come to City 11, he will honestly tell me... he can't remember, he can't remember anything."
"So you suspect that this matter is related to me," Li Ji's voice couldn't discern joy or sorrow.
"I..." Li Chenqiu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Before my mother had an accident, neither she nor I had ever been in contact with the New World.
After I became a Resurgent, I only came into contact with you and Second Brother, two Resurgents. If you have contact with the New World, then my mother and I will naturally have contact with the New World."
"Yes, that's the only possibility," Li Ji slowly stood up, supporting his knees, walked to the water dispenser and poured a glass of warm water, held the cup in both hands and walked to the window, looking up at the somewhat gray night sky.
"As you think, I do have some connection with the New World," Li Ji said slowly.
Li Chenqiu suddenly stood up and asked nervously, "Then my mother's matter..."
Li Ji said calmly: "I don't know about your mother's matter."
Hearing this, the anxiety between Li Chenqiu's eyebrows slightly dissipated, and the whole person seemed to relax a lot at this moment.
It's good that there is no relationship, it's good that there is no relationship...
Li Chenqiu suppressed the joy in his heart and asked, "Boss, what is the connection you are talking about?"
"I... I am acquainted with someone in the New World... If it is really as you guessed, this matter may be related to him."
Li Chenqiu asked eagerly, "Who is he?"
A trace of imperceptible loneliness flashed in Li Ji's eyes, and his already hunched back seemed to bend down a few degrees at this moment, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your eldest brother - Li Bochun."
"Big brother?" Li Chenqiu frowned: "You... Didn't you say that my big brother is already dead?"
"He is still alive, but I don't want to mention him anymore," Li Ji took a sip of warm water and continued: "His legs are disabled, and modern medical technology can't save him, so he can only be accompanied by a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
In order to stand up, he left me and joined the New World. Since then, we have never contacted each other again. This is all I know."
"Then boss, do you have a way to contact my big brother now?" Li Chenqiu looked expectant.
Li Ji shook his head: "I can't contact him."
Li Chenqiu was slightly stunned, and then a helpless smile appeared on his face: "After going around in circles, I'm back to the original point. I won't disturb you, boss, I'll leave first."
After speaking, he turned around and left the room directly, closing the door along the way.
"Sigh~"
Li Ji sighed, stretched out his fingers and rubbed his eyebrows, leaning wearily on the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
After Li Chenqiu returned to his room, with a thought, he summoned Dream Misfortune and Xue Hai from the Ember.
"Lord!"
The two knelt on one knee.
Li Chenqiu sat on the sofa, propped his head and asked, "You are all people from the New World, have you ever heard of the name Li Bochun?"
The two looked at each other and said in unison, "No."
"What about Li Ji?"
"No."
"Huh?" Li Chenqiu looked puzzled, and continued unwillingly: "Do you know what the surname of Night Misfortune in the Ten Misfortunes is?"
"Not sure."
...
At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was slightly bright, today was a cloudy day.
Since there was nothing to do in the Discipline Division, Li Chenqiu stayed in his villa all morning, practicing controlling Li Fuqiu. This Xuan Weapon has a great effect on him and must be familiarized as soon as possible.
After lunch, Li Chenqiu took Li Ji to the Myriad Stars Building of the Star Plucking Academy.
"What a tall building!" Li Chenqiu and Li Ji stood side by side, looking up and exclaimed.
That was a silver building with over a hundred floors. The building reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight. Looking up from the bottom, it was like a silver giant sword inserted straight into the clouds, magnificent!
This is the Myriad Stars Building of the Star Plucking Academy. Whether it is a Resurgent Beast or other strange things, as long as the Tianyuan Federation has it, it is almost all sold here. If the Tianyuan Federation does not have it, you can also try your luck here.
From admission to graduation, almost ninety percent of each student's Star Points are invested in this unfathomable building.
Li Ji reminded, "Put on your mask, don't let people recognize you."
Hearing this, Li Chenqiu obediently pulled the mask up and flipped his hair to prevent anyone from recognizing him.
There was no way, his reputation was too bad, he had to keep a low profile when going out.
The Myriad Stars Building has a total of one hundred and twenty-three floors. The first eighty floors are all selling Resurgent Beasts. The higher you go, the higher the Forbidden Level of the Resurgent Beasts. Further on, there are Xuan Weapons, Exotic Skills, and special foods, these more fancy things.
