Chapter 456
As a person of an outsider, Lü Zheng was in charge of the funeral arrangements of Yan Congzhi and Ni Yangzhou.
In fact, there is not much he needs to do. Nearly half of Yan Congzhi's assets have been donated to foundations that promote equal rights. The company will be taken over by the government, and lawyers will handle everything else.
Moreover, when Yan Congzhi was sending Lu Zheng back after dinner that day, he and Lu Zheng actually had a conversation.
When they were driving back, they had already arrived at Lu Zheng's apartment building, but Yan Congzhi still hadn't opened the door. Lu Zheng finally calmed down and looked at him in confusion. Yan Congzhi faced forward, his eyes fixed on the window, and said:
"You said I couldn't talk to you before morning self-study because you needed to go to sleep."
Lu Zheng was stunned, not understanding why the other party said such an incoherent sentence.
Yan Congzhi turned his entire face around, and his pupils, which were so black without any other colors, were like a tunnel leading to the past.
"He also said that every morning self-study session would be like this from now on. If anyone dared to talk to you, they would be dead."
Lu Zheng's head suddenly buzzed, and the memories of thousands of years ago were like the receding tide, and the broken shells on the beach were exposed to the light of day again.
An old school, a silent deskmate, an indignant self, and a cold and immature threat to the other party not to disturb him.
"Meng..."
Lu Zheng immediately bit his tongue, but the punishment electric shock still came.
Lu Zheng endured the pain, sweat pouring down his forehead. After a long while, he carefully chose his words:
"It's you……"
At the time, Ni Yangzhou's story only used Meng Ting's name, but he didn't mention that Meng Ting had also "followed" this world like a pendant. When Kang Kang had been trying to get him to eat candy, he had been talking about an ancient world, and Lü Zheng hadn't been able to put the people in it together. Now that he knew the whole story, he thought to himself, no wonder Yan Congzhi always felt a little familiar to him; it turned out to be an old friend.
But he is no longer the boy with a broken family and covered in thorns. After years of baptism, it is impossible for him to look back on the past without any embarrassment. However, this is not the time to reminisce about the past, and the friendship between the two is not to the point where it can be reminisced.
Lu Zheng was lost in thought, and finally he smiled and said, "I can tell you now."
But immediately, Lu Zheng's heart was filled with doubts. When he looked at Yan Cong again, he asked sideways:
"Big brother knows?"
Yan Congzhi frowned and nodded: "I found out later."
Lu Zheng wiped the sweat from his face: "You...how..."
How come he didn't get shocked? According to Big Brother's experience, if the one-on-one system isn't in place, it's an automatic detection. You have to play around with it, and there should be corresponding punishment for saying something OOC, right? He considered himself cautious, but he'd been shocked countless times.
"Unlike you."
To be precise, because the degree of supervision of the Heavenly Dao and the system is different, he will only be punished when his behavior affects the main task. Unlike hosts like Ni Yangzhou and Lu Zheng who are bound to the system, their words and deeds are under supervision.
The advantage of system supervision is that it can play edge-of-the-envelope word games. The advantage of Tiandao is that it is more flexible and free, but just like cultivating immortals all relies on spiritual intelligence, there is no standard to follow as to whether it will affect the main task. If Tiandao thinks it will have an impact, then it will kill you, no matter what you said or did.
"It's different..." Lu Zheng pondered the deeper meaning of the words, but couldn't figure it out. He guessed that the other party might be bound to a system with special task requirements, just like himself, his elder brother and Kang Kang.
“Let’s add…”
Lu Zheng gestured with his hands and pointed at the air, wanting to add Yan Congzhi as a friend to chat in detail, but unexpectedly Yan Congzhi shook his head.
"No."
Lu Zheng put down his hand and stopped talking, frowning as he thought about why the other party wanted to reveal his identity at this time.
Yan Congzhi said directly: "Let's make a deal."
Lu Zheng was confused.
"He owes you anything I can give, I'll pay it back."
Lu Zheng opened his mouth wide and stammered, "No, no, no, no, it's not like that. Big Brother..."
Yan Congzhi said in a firm tone, his face solemn: "I want to help him do more."
Lu Zheng suddenly understood what Kang Kang once said:
——"If my sister-in-law can do something for my eldest brother, he will be more than willing to do it."
Lu Zheng hesitated again and again. All he needed now was longevity.
Yan Congzhi saw the other party's hesitation and said, "My body will be sent to the military headquarters. The transferable personal assets will be transferred to your name. Everything else is fine."
"I'll go with him."
Lu Zheng looked at the other person's face and confirmed that what Yan Congzhi meant by "go" was what he thought it meant.
Yan Congzhi repeated: "I will go with him."
Lu Zheng understood, said wait a minute, and hurriedly opened the car door and went back to the dormitory. He took out an IOU. The middle part was blank, but the name "Song Gan" was signed in the lower right corner.
"I didn't want it in the first place, but my eldest brother repeatedly told me not to throw it away."
"Now this is yours."
Lu Zheng never thought that one day he would be able to complete the life exchange without any explanation.
Lu Zheng exchanged for a trial card and looked at the top of Yan Congzhi's head. The length of the numbers counting down as the seconds went by was shocking.
62/5/13.
Yan Congzhi still had more than 60 years to live, and considering the other party's current age, he could have lived to nearly a hundred years old relying on Egnima's body.
Before exchanging the money, Lu Zheng asked again: "Are you sure?"
Yan Congzhi nodded, his tone extremely firm. A string of garbled characters seemed to be hit on his retina by a laser, and the exchange interface appeared in his sight out of thin air. There were only two options at the bottom.
Yan Congzhi pursed his lips and finally understood what his lover was looking at.
It’s great to be closer to him.
"I am sure."
……
That night, the two people left the world in each other's arms. Sudden cardiac death did not cause them to suffer much pain. Lu Zheng used the phone number given by Yan Congzhi to contact the military to collect the bodies, burned down the house for the two, and took Mimi back to his own apartment.
Lu Zheng touched the kitten's head. The ignorant Mimi opened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her curiously, not knowing where her mother had gone.
Time goes on, and Lu Zheng thinks that he will successfully complete his mission. In this world without old friends, he still has many, many years to live.
