Chapter 24: White Lies
Chen Shouyi only felt that his hair was standing upside down. He didn't dare to stay here anymore and decided to leave immediately.
Before leaving, he untied the rope, picked up the shell girl with the shell, and walked quickly outside the passage.
Leave the Shell Girl here, if you die or escape, it would be a pity.
In a short while, he left the unfinished building.
Seeing the crowds coming and going, the traffic was everywhere, and the noisy streets, Chen Shouyi breathed a light tone.
Compared to the strange and unpredictable world, the earth still makes him feel more secure. There are not so many mysterious and weird creatures here, nor do ghosts and ghosts, everything makes him feel at ease.
At this time, he looked at the shells in his hand and found that the magical and colorful mist that had originally radiated had completely dimmed, and the bright colors gradually faded, and the surface became mottled.
Chen Shouyi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized in his heart.
No wonder this shell is so beautiful, no wonder the shell girl chose this shell to fit in. It turns out that this shell is not ordinary.
Unfortunately, after arriving on Earth, its extraordinaryness faded and turned into ordinary.
But he had nothing to regret.
From beginning to end, he didn't know what the purpose of this shell was?
He thought of the shell girl inside and gently lifted the shell a slit.
Fortunately, she was still alive, just huddled inside, her face full of fear, and her whole body trembled. She was obviously scared by the changes in the environment.
Seeing that she was not dead, Chen Shouyi felt relieved.
Passing by a jewelry store, he suddenly felt aroused in his heart and walked in.
On the first day of National Day today, there were a lot of people in the store. Most of these stores were girls, and of course there were men who accompanied their girlfriends. However, there were very few people like Chen Shouyi who came in alone.
He walked slowly and quickly picked a roll of tape, a roll of nylon rope, and a pair of small scissors. He found several sets of small-sized Barbie doll clothes. Unfortunately, he couldn't find underwear and underwear, so he could only keep it.
When paying, the cashier looked at five or six sets of Barbie dolls and couldn't help but look at him more.
Half a minute later, Chen Shouyi walked out of the jewelry store without expression, then went to the supermarket to buy a bottle of honey.
He had noticed earlier that this shell girl seemed to feed on nectar, and probably no problem with honey. With her appetite, she should be very well supported.
...
After leaving the supermarket, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was still hot, and Chen Shouyi suddenly felt that there was nowhere to go.
Looking at his still white skin and exposed to the sun for nearly half a day in another world, it seemed that he did not have much effect. His physique at 13:50 made him almost immune to the damage of ultraviolet rays.
He turned on his phone, chatted with Zhang Xiaoyue, and wandered aimlessly until it was almost night before he decided to go home.
"Mom, I'm back." After Chen Shouyi said that, he took advantage of the inattention of Chen's mother and walked upstairs quickly.
This time, it was the busiest time of the restaurant. Chen’s mother, who was moving vegetables, felt a flash of people and ran up the stairs. She chased her back and cursed, “Are you not eating anymore?”
"I've eaten at my classmate's house." He suddenly stopped, thought of an idea, and decided to tell a lie with kindness.
There was no light at the stairs, and darkness was his best cover. He turned around with confidence and said, "Oh, by the way, my current martial arts apprentice's physical fitness assessment has met the standards, and it's still a little worse than swordsmanship and arrows."
"Really, son, your physical strength can be passed." Hearing this, Chen's mother was overjoyed. She had always been worried that this mediocre son would be fine in the future, but she didn't expect that she would give her a big surprise after entering the third year of high school.
"Mom, haven't you seen that I've become much stronger recently? So I plan to take a break from school.
In the past few days, I learned that a tutoring institution is conducting closed pre-exam training. I heard that the success rate is very high, so I want to sign up."
"Since it's useful, of course you have to apply for it. How much does it cost?" She is very saving in some places, but as long as it is useful for her children's grades, she is always amazingly generous.
"It will take about 18,000 or fifteen days." Chen Shouyi hesitated and said a number. There are a lot of pre-exam training in this type of pre-exam, and the price is already the market price, and it is easy to be exposed if it is too low.
"Just need to live outside!" Finally he pretended to hesitate.
"All people are so old, and they are still afraid of living outside. When will they sign up?" Chen's mother was in a good mood and cursed with a smile.
“Tomorrow morning.”
"It's so urgent, fortunately there is still some money in the card. When I finish my work, I'll send the money to you!"
In the darkness, Chen Shouyi looked at his mother's face with a smile and a look of relief. His eyes suddenly became sore and he wanted to cry.
In my memory, there is never anything that can make my parents feel relieved, and there are only disappointments again and again.
"But it will never happen in the future. You will be proud of your son." He wiped his eyes, turned back to the bedroom, locking the door.
...
He sat at the desk and rubbed his face, sat blankly for a while, his mood fluttered.
Suddenly he remembered something and quickly took out the shell from the plastic bag.
The shell girl lay inside, motionless, her eyes red, swollen and empty, without any slight elegance.
Her mouth was sealed with tape, and her hands and feet were tied together.
Chen Shouyi laughed dryly, thought about it and took her out of the shell. He picked up a pair of small scissors and cut off the nylon rope tied to his hands and feet in her numb eyes.
Then tear the tape on the mouth.
He picked up the Barbie doll clothes he bought before and decided to change them for her.
The naked body is too hindering his vision, and he always embarrasses him, so he still wears clothes more naturally.
He carefully pinched her arm and put on her top, for fear that he would break her with force.
In fact, there was no need for him to be so careful. She was more solid than she thought. After all, she was a creature under three times the gravity, and was not as fragile as the surface.
While wearing clothes, the shell girl remained motionless and left him to mercy, as if her heart was lost.
She did not cry because her tears had dried up; nor did she scream, which was futile.
When she felt the surrounding environment changed and found that she had lost all her abilities and could no longer fly, she was completely desperate and numb.
After finally putting her on a princess skirt, Chen Shouyi couldn't help but wiped her sweat and let out a gentle breath.
"Oh, by the way, there's honey."
He quickly took out the honey from the bag, took the metal spoon, scooped a shallow spoon, mixed it with some warm water, and put it in front of her.
This spoon is longer than her height, and the spoon is three times larger than her head.
The girl's nose swayed slightly, then turned her face away and did not move.
Seeing that she was not violent and uncooperating, Chen Shouyi couldn't help but tweak her with his fingers a few times, and rolled her body around the desk, but the other party didn't say a word.
Chen Shouyi finally gave up and was about to stop caring about her. Anyway, he would not die if he was hungry for a day.
He took the wooden sword from under the bed and continued to practice the sword.
I just had a lunge straight stab.
The wooden sword pierced the air and made a sharp roar, and he quickly stopped.
After a while, the door rang.
"What's the matter?" Chen Shouyi said in a deep voice against the door.
"Brother, you are back. What's the noise in your room just now?"
"Nothing, it's coming from outside, I don't know anything."
"Oh, I was shocked!"
The sister left quickly, and Chen Shouyi breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the sword and his hands again. He had no clear idea of how strong he was when practicing in another world. It was not until this time that he realized that he had reached this point.
The sword just now should have approached the speed of sound.
