Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 24: White Lies

Chen Shouyi felt his hair stand on end. He didn't dare to stay here anymore, so he decided to leave immediately.

Before leaving, he untied the rope, picked up Shell Girl with the shell, and walked quickly out of the passage.

It would be a pity to leave Shell girl here, in case she died or escaped.

After a while, he left the unfinished building.

Looking at the busy, noisy streets with people coming and going, Chen Shouyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared with the weird and unpredictable world, the earth can make him feel more secure. There are not so many mysterious and weird creatures here, and there are no ghosts and ghosts. Everything makes him feel at ease.

At this time, he looked at the shell in his hand, and found that the magical multicolored mist that was exuding had completely dimmed, and the bright colors gradually faded, and the surface became mottled.

Chen Shouyi was stunned for a moment, suddenly stunned.

No wonder this shell is so beautiful, and it's no wonder that Shell Girl chooses this shell to live in. It turns out that this shell is not ordinary.

It's a pity that after arriving on the earth, its extraordinaryness has faded and it has become ordinary.

But he had nothing to regret.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't know what the shell was for?

He thought of Shell Girl inside, and gently opened the shell.

Fortunately, she was still alive, but she was just shrunk inside, her face full of horror, and her whole body was shaking non-stop, obviously frightened by the change in the environment.

Seeing that she was not dead, Chen Shouyi was relieved.

Passing by a jewelry store, he suddenly felt moved and walked in.

Today was the first day of the National Day, and there were a lot of people in the store. Most of these stores were girls, and of course there were men with their girlfriends, but there were very few people like Chen Shouyi who came in alone.

He walked around slowly, and quickly picked out a roll of tape, a roll of nylon rope, a pair of small scissors, and found several sets of small-sized Barbie doll clothes. Unfortunately, he could not find panties and underwear, so he could only Just go.

When it was time to pay, the cashier looked at half a dozen Barbie outfits and couldn't help but give him an extra look.

Half a minute later, Chen Shouyi walked out of the jewelry store expressionlessly, 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 it is estimated that there is nothing wrong with honey. Given her appetite, she should be able to feed her well.

...

After walking out of the supermarket, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was still scorching hot. Chen Shouyi suddenly felt that he had nowhere to go.

Looking at his still white and tender skin, the half-day exposure to the sun in another world didn't seem to have much effect. His 13.5 physique made him almost immune to the damage of ultraviolet rays.

He turned on his mobile phone, chatted with Zhang Xiaoyue, and wandered aimlessly. He didn't decide to go home until it was almost nightfall.

"Mom, I'm back." After Chen Shouyi finished speaking, he quickly walked upstairs while Chen's mother was not paying attention.

At this time, it was the busiest time in the restaurant. Mother Chen, who was carrying vegetables, only felt the shadow of a figure, and ran up the stairs. She chased after her and scolded: "Are you not eating?"

"I've eaten at my classmate's house." He suddenly stopped, thought of an idea, and decided to tell a white lie.

There was no light on the stairs, and the darkness was his best cover. He turned around with confidence and said, "Oh, by the way, Mom, my current martial arts apprentice assessment physical fitness has passed the standard, and the only thing I'm short of is my swordsmanship and archery."

"Really, son, you have passed the physical fitness." Hearing this, Chen's mother was overjoyed. She had been worried that this mediocre son would achieve nothing in the future, but she didn't expect to give her a big surprise after entering the third year of high school.

"Mom, don't you see that I've grown stronger recently? So I'm going to take a break from school.

In the past few days, I have learned that there is a tutoring institution that provides closed pre-examination 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 report it. How much does it cost?" She is very economical about some places,

But as long as it is useful for children's grades, it has always been amazingly generous.

"It will probably take eighteen thousand or fifteen days." Chen Shouyi hesitated and said a number. There are many such pre-examination trainings, and this price is already the current price, and if it is too low, it will be easy to be exposed.

"Just need to live outside!" Finally he pretended to hesitate.

"You are so old, and you are afraid of living outside. When will you sign up?" Chen's mother was in a good mood, and scolded with a smile.

"tomorrow morning."

"It's so urgent. Fortunately, there is still some money in the card. When I finish my work, I will call you the money!"

In the dark, Chen Shouyi looked at his mother's smiling and relieved face. Suddenly, his eyes became sour and he wanted to cry.

In memory, there has never been a single thing that made parents feel gratified, and some were just disappointed 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, and locked the door behind him.

...

He sat blankly at the desk for a while, his mind fluttering.

Suddenly he remembered something, and quickly took out the shells from the plastic bag.

Shell Girl lay there, motionless, her eyes were red, swollen and hollow, without the slightest expression.

Her mouth had been taped shut and her hands and feet were bound together.

Chen Shouyi gave a dry laugh, and after thinking about it, he fished her out of the shell. He picked up a pair of small scissors, and under her numb eyes, cut off the nylon rope tied around her hands and feet.

Then he tore off the tape on his mouth.

He picked up the Barbie doll clothes he bought earlier and decided to change them for her.

Being naked is too obstructive to the line of sight, and it often makes him extremely embarrassed, so it would be more natural to put on clothes.

He carefully pinched her arm and put her shirt on, for fear that he would break her with a single force.

In fact, he didn't need to be so cautious at all. She was more solid than expected. After all, she was a creature under three times the gravity, and she was not as fragile as she appeared on the surface.

During the process of getting dressed, Shell Girl remained motionless, letting him manipulate her, as if her heart had died.

Ever since she felt the surrounding environment change and found that she had lost all abilities and could no longer fly, she was completely desperate and numb.

After finally putting her on a princess dress, Chen Shouyi couldn't help wiping off his sweat, and let out a soft breath.

"Oh, yes, and honey."

He quickly took out the honey from the bag, took the metal spoon, scooped up a small spoonful, mixed it with some warm water, and put it in front of her.

The spoon was longer than her height, and the spoon was three times bigger than her head.

Shell Girl's nose moved a few times, then she turned her face away and remained motionless.

Seeing her non-violent non-cooperation, Chen Shouyi couldn't help poking her a few times with his fingers, causing her body to roll around on the desk, but Shell girl remained silent.

Chen Shouyi finally gave up and left her alone, anyway, he wouldn't die if he starved for a day.

He took the wooden sword from under the bed and continued to practice the sword.

Just did a straight lunge.

The wooden sword pierced the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and he stopped immediately.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"What's the matter?" Chen Shouyi leaned against the door and said in a low voice.

"Brother, you are back, what was the sound in your room just now?"

"It's nothing, it's coming from outside, and I don't know what it is."

"Oh, I'm startled!"

Chen Shouyi heaved a sigh of relief as his sister left soon.

He looked at the sword, and then at his hand. When he practiced in a different world, he didn't have a clear idea of ​​how strong he was. It wasn't until now that he realized that he had reached this point.

The sword just now should have been close to the speed of sound.

He suddenly found out that it was so wise to go out for a while under the pretext. If he continued to live here, not to mention other things, even practicing swords would be a little troublesome.
