afterlife reservation

With the increase in the number of training sessions, Shi Ji's physical condition became more and more wrong, and he once again simulated a 0.1-second absence in actual combat, which made him unable to continue to attribute this to exhaustion after training.

When Shi Ji woke up from the nightmare, he glanced at his hands in confusion, Xiang Ming's words suddenly sounded in his mind, and he secretly made a decision.As soon as he got dressed and opened the door, he saw J standing at the door holding a few roses.

Seeing him open the door, J smiled.

"Shi Ji, good morning."

"What are you doing?" Shi Ji glanced at the rose in his hand.

"Ah, these are the roses I just picked. The flowering period is coming to an end. These are the last batch of blooming roses. I want to give them to you."

Looking at J, Shi Ji couldn't help but think of the nightmare just now, frowned slightly, took the rose and took a closer look: "Thank you."

J tilted his head, smiling unabated: "I hope it can bloom longer here with you."

"Um......"

"Breakfast is ready, do you want to go down to eat now?"

Shi Ji thought for a while: "J, I have something to ask you."

J looked at him, waiting for Shi Ji to speak.

"Wait a minute, I'll put this away first, let's go down and talk."

"Okay." J stood at the door and waited for Shi Ji.

After finishing breakfast, Shi Ji looked at J with a serious expression.

"I want you to help me contact someone," Shi Ji said, "It doesn't take long to hide the IP address."

J thought for a while: "Yes."

Then the two came to the laboratory again, took out a card from a cassette, and installed it on a new communicator. According to the communication data in memory, Shi Ji sent a communication request to that person. Minutes passed by, and finally after the ringing lasted for half a minute, the person on the other side connected.

"Hello, hello?"

It was Xiang Ming's voice, and Shi Ji was sure of it.

"Hello?" The call environment on the other side didn't seem to be very good, and Xiang Ming asked several times before he fell silent, "Wait a minute."

Shi Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and heard the other side of the communication gradually quiet down.

"Shi Ji, is that you?"

"It's me, Professor."

"Great! Are you safe now? Are you in good health? Has your injury recovered?" Xiang Ming could be heard deliberately lowering his voice and suppressing his excitement.

Shi Ji felt a little relieved when he heard Xiang Ming's voice, and he said, "I'm much better now, I have a question to ask you."

"You said."

Then Shi Ji probably told Xiang Ming about his recent training intensity and physical condition, with little concealment.When Xiang Ming heard Shi Ji's words, his heart sank suddenly.

"Shi Ji, where are you?" Xiang Ming couldn't think of any other place that could provide him with such a training environment under the circumstances of being "wanted". Your body will start to deteriorate if it goes on like this.”

Shi Ji's heart was suspended again: "Never?"

"Try your best. Training is just accumulation. If it continues, maybe some battle will completely break out... Shi Ji, you have seen Yue Ze's appearance, and you understand the seriousness of the matter. Now that you have left, you can Don't look back." Xiang Ming's voice tried to be steady, but the worry inside was still clearly heard by Shi Ji.

Will he regret letting himself go?

"understood."

Xiang Ming was quiet for a few seconds, and then said: "Shi Ji, do you understand? You don't belong to the war anymore, you only belong to yourself."

"I......"

"Okay, I still have something to do here, take care of yourself and don't get caught."

"Ah."

Something seemed to happen to Xiang Ming, he hung up in a hurry, Shi Ji looked at the communicator and didn't know what he was thinking.

J stood aside and helped Shi Ji remove the card, and then destroyed it on the test bench.Even though J can't fully know Shi Ji's past, one thing can be understood from these few words between them, Shi Ji can no longer simulate training.

"Shiji, are you alright?"

When Shi Ji heard the words and turned his head, he seemed to see the worry in J's eyes: "I'm fine."

J knew that he should comfort Shi Ji, but after organizing the words for a long time, he couldn't utter a word when he was about to speak.Shi Ji naturally noticed J's hesitation to speak, he squinted his eyes and thought for a few seconds, and said, "What are you thinking?"

"Do you need medical equipment?"

Shi Ji thought about it, but he wanted to ask if he was sick.

"No need." Shi Ji replied.

J nodded, looked at Shi Ji and said, "If you need my help, I'd be happy."

"Ah."

The conversation between the two ended and they left the laboratory together. At the same time, in the office building of the CRA military station, several people played a recording repeatedly.

"Lieutenant Colonel, why not just arrest Xiang Ming and force Shi Ji to come out."

Chen Xing'an turned off the call recording, and squinted at Fang Shuyu: "What are you going to use to catch Xiang Ming?"

Fang Shuyu made a slip of the tongue for a moment, with some unwillingness on his face: "We can't let him be so rampant all the time! According to Xiang Ming, Shi Ji has already started to deteriorate. If he is not caught and destroyed as soon as possible, it will definitely lead to disaster!"

The officers present here are all Chen Xingan's most trusted subordinates. Naturally, they knew that the arrest of Shi Ji was imminent. However, after Shi Ji escaped, their clue was this communication. However, this communication number is a virtual number. Not to the source.

"Arresting Xiang Ming won't work. As for letting Shi Ji go, he has already been punished and lost his job. We have no reason to arrest him again. Besides, he is being protected by Wen Zhuo now, which is equivalent to being protected by the entire Wen family." Protect, if there is no legitimate reason, there is no way to catch it." Feng Yun said.

"Also, if Wen Zhuo finds out that we monitored Xiang Ming's call, I'm afraid this matter can't be resolved." Tang Jiuze added.

Fang Shuyu patted the table, and said bitterly: "So what if we know, we are handling the case reasonably, and we are doing things for their safety, so he should cooperate!"

"Okay," Chen Xing'an frowned slightly, "Xiang Ming can't be caught, but it doesn't mean we give up this road. Shuyu, Ying Cheng, you two continue to watch Xiang Ming's communication. If you have any news, please let me know immediately."

"Yes." Fang Shuyu and Lian Yingcheng took the order.

"Jiuze, Feng Yun, the two of you, together, find out all the cities that Shi Ji may be hiding. Remember, exclude cities with relatively backward technology, and pay special attention to cities and regions with medium and large laboratories."

"Yes."

Chen Xing'an thought for a while, then looked at the last person: "Zhi Shen, you and I will cooperate with Professor Tong Qing to restore Shi Ji's last data first, and then replay."

Chen Zhishen said: "Yes."

"Let's split up and act separately. Once You Ji's whereabouts, Tang Jiuze and Feng Yun will lead the team to arrest them. If necessary, there is no need to keep anyone alive."

......

In the next few days, Shi Ji seemed to become more silent. The roses in the garden had withered, and J began to cultivate the roses in the greenhouse.

"Shi Ji?" J noticed that Shi Ji was sitting on the steps in a daze again, vaguely knowing that it was the sequelae of the phone call that day.

Shi Ji looked up at J, as if asking him what's wrong.

"Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Shi Ji didn't answer, but he got a negative answer from his eyes.

J said: "But if you can't heal your body, you can't train anymore, so your mood will be very low."

"You think I'm upset about this?"

"You really want to be strong, even if you're already great."

Shi Ji lowered his eyes and looked at his hands: "No, it's just getting used to it...Only by continuous training can we protect ourselves."

Leaving the station, all the days become long, as if returning to the memory of ten years ago, and it seems that the strange things are different.If only he didn't attract their attention because of his competitiveness.

J thought for a while and said: "Shi Ji, even without training, you already have the ability to protect yourself. If you are really in danger, I think I will protect you."

Shi Ji looked at him, feeling a little funny in his heart but couldn't laugh: "Do you know who my enemy is?"

J naturally doesn't know this, he looks at Shi Ji, eager to get an answer from him.

"It's Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xing'an, who is stationed in the Army's CRA Army," Shi Ji curled his lips slightly, "It's your hero."

J's whole body froze, his eyes moved slightly but he didn't speak.

"What, are you afraid?"

J frowned slightly, and looked at Shi Ji: "My information shows that Mr. Chen Xing'an is a very gentle gentleman with a strong commanding ability. I just don't understand why you have anything to do with them."

Shi Ji raised his eyes, his eyes were endlessly cold: "Because I used to be his subordinate, no, it should be a 'tool of battle', and now they want to kill me."

J was a little surprised, but Shi Ji's tone was more sympathetic to him. J stretched his hand towards Shi Ji's head, rubbed his silver-white hair, and said with a smile, "I will stand by your side."

Shi Ji stared at him closely: "If you hand me over at this time, you will definitely get a considerable reward."

"But, what is the use of this remuneration?" J's smile is always so appropriate on his face, "If the price is only calculated according to the growth rate of the past ten years, the assets I have now can provide you 200 years of life, so none of us will use that pay."

Shi Ji wanted to say that his life expectancy was only 100 years at most, and then he realized that he would not let this person support him for the rest of his life.

"...What nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense, the calculation data is displayed like this."

"Idiot." Shi Ji turned away his face and muttered to himself.

This tilt of the head happened to reveal the tips of the red ears, J stared blankly for a while and then smiled.

In the evening, Shiji looked at the roses on the window sill that were beginning to wither, thought for a while, took out a few books, processed the roses a little bit, and sealed them in the books. Then, remembering that J was looking for a vase this morning, he held the vase and rang J's bell. Door.

Hearing Shi Ji's voice, the door opened after a while.

This was Shi Ji's first visit to J's room, he looked around secretly, and then looked at J's wet body wrapped in a bathrobe, with water dripping from the ends of his hair, as if he had just been fished out of the water: "What are you doing?"

"Ah... in the shower."

Shi Ji was slightly taken aback: "Taking a bath?"

J understood Shi Ji's question and smiled: "Yes. My body, like the human body, needs to be regularly cleaned of the dirt attached to the surface."

"Oh..." Shi Ji's eyes drooped, and a pair of long bare legs appeared in front of him, and then they were submerged in the robe.

"Shiji, are you okay?"

"Ah, this."

Shi Ji suddenly recovered, suppressed the flash of curiosity in his heart, and handed out the vase in his hand.
