Chapter 376 Anchor
Wan Xiaoshuang: [Let's discuss in detail in person]
Chen Ji chatted briefly for a couple of minutes before putting down his phone.
Wan Xiaoshuang didn't enter Tianhai alone; she had gallery staff with her. Chen Ji had some guesses about why she specifically sought him out.
The gallery's staff are probably all in the intermediate level... just like Liu Zi, Fei Er, and Du Tingfeng.
Unless it's a special case like the reverse side of the Domain River, where not entering means certain death, it's generally best to wait until the ninth Domain, otherwise it's like adding an extra high-difficulty Domain for nothing.
Chen Ji's original idea was that he would go in alone for the ninth time.
After they came out, the other three had also completed their eighth domain, and when the next domain came, they would all be in the same difficulty range.
He guessed that Wan Xiaoshuang's situation was probably not much different from his own, and that the two had similar interests in reality and were quite familiar with each other. Moreover, Wan Xiaoshuang was suspected of already possessing the A-level magic!
She is undoubtedly a perfect teammate.
Putting that aside for now, Chen Ji rushed to the archives to confirm that the safe had been properly stored.
When to open it will be decided after Xu Sandao wakes up.
He did not linger there.
When the thirteenth inning came out, I saw that Wei Gu and Wu Su had made up. The two were standing by the wall drinking beverages. It was obvious that Wei Gu had bribed Wu Su to stop the child from imitating him.
From a great distance, Wei Gu raised his chin at him, which could be considered a greeting.
Chen looked at Wei Gu with a complicated expression. Sometimes, he felt that he and Wei Gu were quite similar in some ways.
They were chosen by the Zhenshui earthworm, just like everyone else.
Both parents died.
They are all the same, whether predicted or forced to, and all have something to do with ghosts... but they all yearn to be ordinary people.
Chen Ji chatted with him briefly, without saying much, and didn't mention Wei Gu's background.
After finishing all that, he finally had time to go home and rest.
Within two or three days, the notices in the elevator had been replaced by new mop advertisements, indicating that the homeless man had moved to another area.
Lying paralyzed on the bed, Chen Ji rubbed his temples, feeling an overwhelming sense of fatigue wash over him.
These past few days have been incredibly intense.
Both for the body and for the mind.
He silenced his phone, placed the dusty fountain pen by his bedside, leaving only the little monkey beside his pillow, and completely cleared his mind before drifting off to sleep.
.......
Two days later.
Chen Ji put down the bread in his hand; the side effects of the Bashe had almost subsided.
He was at home looking through the documents his uncle had brought from Sunshine Garden.
The birth certificate was stamped with a dark red official seal, and the paper had already turned yellow.
Beside him were stacks of photo albums. Opening the first page, a family photo came into view. At that time, Chen Ji was still very young, just 100 days old.
In the very center of the photo, the mother sits in a chair, her face beaming with joy. When she looks at Chen Ji in her arms, the love in her eyes is almost overflowing.
The father stood behind them, his arm around their shoulders, his head slightly bowed, his gaze never leaving his wife and children.
Chen Ji remained silent.
He stared at the photograph for a long, long time before turning to the next page.
It's a younger version of Chen Yuetan. He's wearing a leather jacket and seems to be amusing himself. His hands, tucked behind his back, are hiding his toys.
The young version of himself in the photo is expressionless, having already discovered everything.
Chen Ji noticed that his uncle was still wearing the watch that he had later sold.
He immediately turned to the next page.
After that, there were only scattered records of Chen Ji's growth: Chen Ji went to kindergarten, Chen Ji went to elementary school, and then it came to an abrupt end.
The last photo is of Chen Ji celebrating his birthday...
He silently closed the photo album, stared blankly for a while, and then his thoughts slowly returned.
Without needing to discuss it in detail with his uncle, Chen Ji already knew that he had spoken with Yang Yu when he retrieved the documents from Sunshine Garden.
Yang Yu mostly told him about what was in Wang Chao's notes.
The reason Chen Yuetan retrieved the documents was not because he was unsure whether Chen Ji was the source corpse, but because he had considered whether Chen Ji would talk to Yang Yu and the others!
Although he had already declined, just like a few days ago, all the clues still inevitably led Chen Ji to meet with Niu Jinniu.
Chen Yuetan never hid these documents he had collected in advance, allowing Chen Ji to peruse them at will.
Just like "essence" (waste) is an anchor point for the modifiers.
These documents, which document Chen Ji's life from birth to the present, serve as anchor points for him.
His mother's name was Zhang Sufen. She carried him for ten months before giving birth to Chen Ji.
His father's name was Chen Yueshan. He was neither a venerable one nor a ghost; he was just an ordinary person.
Everything is documented and proven to be of human origin.
Especially since he had a reference point nearby: the Urumqi.
As part of the source corpse, Wusu was born under extremely horrifying conditions, incubating in Chen Yuetan's belly for many years before finally breaking out.
Not to mention, the ghost infant's true form is of unknown origin and showed boundless malice in its early years.
Compared to that, Chen Ji was once again convinced that he was now just a mortal.
Shaking his head, Chen Ji put the document away. Calculating the time, the time he had agreed upon with Wan Xiaoshuang was approaching.
A short while later, there was a knock on the door.
The visitor was none other than Wan Xiaoshuang.
Today she was dressed simply and neatly, with a small waist bag around her waist, as if she was already prepared for the domain.
"Your monster hasn't awakened yet?"
Wan Xiaoshuang asked the question directly.
Chen Ji nodded. It would take three more days for the pen to be restored.
His starlight is still dim, but fortunately it won't affect his use of strange objects in the domain. As for when he will fully recover, Chen Ji himself doesn't know.
"There's no time." Wan Xiaoshuang frowned; her mark was already slightly warm.
Chen Ji gestured for her to sit down first.
After sitting down, Wan Xiaoshuang didn't exchange many pleasantries and explained to Chen Ji why she had to invite him to enter the domain together.
The reason is very simple.
“There are very few people who enter the realm above the ninth level.”
Wan Xiaoshuang said, "At this stage, most people will form teams in advance, whether it's to win the A-level monster or simply to survive."
"The ideal scenario is that someone can gather enough teams to fill all the spots in the domain at once. This would make things much simpler for the entire domain, as there would be no need to worry about being attacked from both sides."
She didn't mention the negative impact, but Chen Ji knew it.
The thirteenth round will be calculated by "teams," which is clearly to deal with this situation.
For example, my uncle's last domain was such a "perfect situation," with everyone participating in that domain being from his team...
However, if things go wrong, the outcome will be extremely tragic. For example, Lin was shocked by the death of the senile old man, which led him to break a taboo and die on the spot.
Wan Xiaoshuang doesn't really need the A-level Ghost, as she already has one. Her urgent need now is to use the Ninth Domain to break into the Netherworld.
Chen Ji knew her purpose.
Her goal was similar to his own: to play a crucial role in the competition for scrap. Therefore, Chen Ji had to ensure her survival no matter what.
"Advanced Domain".
Chen Ji said he needed to enter the domain before he could make a judgment.
He had several experiences where he didn't need to use a fountain pen during the game; that was his last resort. If the game lasted a long time, he probably wouldn't need a fountain pen for the first three days either.
Besides, there are also baby monkeys.
He briefly discussed it with Wan Xiaoshuang, and then sent messages to Chen Yuetan and others.
As the afternoon sun streamed into the room, Wan Xiaoshuang's domain was activated.
The water surges.
Chen Ji took a deep breath, exchanged a glance with Wan Xiaoshuang, and the two linked arms, feeling a strong suction coming from them...
