Chapter 518 See you again, old acquaintance
An Jiu nodded, looking somewhat disappointed, "You also know him - Mr. Song Haizhi. He was exiled to the abyss because of me. I don't know if he is still alive now. After all, it has been a long time..."
I originally thought that this person might be Teacher Song, but now I see that it is not him.
Song Haizhi is a good man, but unfortunately he has no luck and has always been unlucky, including when he met Anjiu, and was cheated by her.
Although An Jiu didn't say it on the surface, she felt guilty in her heart. Yan Ling's vengeful and ruthless character was completely beyond her expectations. If she could meet Song Haizhi here, she wanted to make it up to him.
Pu Huai knew that what happened between the two of them was related to school. He didn't know the details, but there was no need to ask at the moment. He lowered his head and prepared to take another look, but found that the man had woken up and was looking at her with an incredulous look.
"You, you are Anjiu?!"
The bearded man stood up, held Anjiu's arm, and looked him up and down rapidly.
"Why are you here? Were you also driven out? I, I am Song Haizhi!"
……
Anjiu looked at the shelter hidden under the vines in front of him. It was about 30 square meters in size and was furnished with daily necessities such as beds, tables and chairs, as well as a lot of dried food hanging on the ground.
"Are you the only one here? Where's the other old teacher?"
Song Haizhi placed the cup of water in front of her and said softly, "She is gone."
"...Sorry, I don't know."
"No, you misunderstood. She's just not here, but she's still alive—I think she should be alive."
It is hard not to be suspicious of Song Haizhi's statement.
But then he added: "She's not in the world we live in right now."
An Jiu understood, but soon had a new question, "How did she go? Why didn't you go with her?"
Having lived in the abyss for so long, she knew that there were many healthy alien planets that would not explode in the short term. If she could enter such a world, she could live a stable life for at least five or six years.
That's why she asked why Song Haizhi didn't follow them, but instead lived a miserable life in the abyss.
To be honest, it's a miracle that an ordinary person like him without any cheats can live here for so long.
"And why has your appearance changed?"
Song Haizhi smiled bitterly and tore off a thin piece of skin from the edge of his hair roots, revealing his original face underneath.
"A fake mask. In order to avoid the Hive's surveillance, Lao Mi said that it was not enough to just take off the virtual bracelet. It would be better to change her appearance. Lao Mi had long anticipated that the Hive would send her to the Abyss, and she had made preparations in advance."
Song Haizhi sat on another chair opposite her, picked up the bowl, scooped out a spoonful of paste and stuffed it into his mouth, and continued: "In the second hour after we arrived at the destination, Lao Mi untied the virtual bracelet, and she told me that she had a way to survive."
Faced with the choice between life and death, the so-called citizenship, position, contribution value, everything was no longer important. He untied the virtual bracelet without any hesitation.
Lao Mi handed him another extremely realistic mask.
"From now on, you and I are no longer members of the group."
They began to find a foothold in the abyss to spend the first night... Needless to say, the hardships during this period were extremely difficult. The exploding planet blew the two of them away, and they hit the vines and started vomiting blood when they stood up.
Fortunately, Lao Mi had been studying the abyss before, and he told him to find a way to hide under the vines to avoid danger.
Stopping and starting along the way, they selected a location and began the difficult but hopeful process of digging out a new home.
Then the next question is how did Lao Mi go to the other world.
Song Haizhi finished the food in the bowl, took a small sip of water to smooth his throat, and did not intend to mention this topic for the time being.
An Jiu noticed that his lips were dry and chapped. She looked around and saw only a few empty water bottles standing in the corners. She glanced at Song Haizhi, took out a bottle of mineral water from the space and placed it on the table, and took the initiative to mention that he had been exiled to the abyss.
"…It's my fault. You are innocent. I shouldn't have asked you to help me."
Song Haizhi was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily, "You think too much, Anjiu, you are not the main factor in my exile. It was actually Lao Mi who applied to the leadership for my exile."
Lao Mi has always been a thorn in the leader's side. She is well aware of what happened in the past and goes against the mainstream. It is only a matter of time before she is sent to the abyss. Lao Mi has made a plan, but she needs a helper, a trustworthy helper.
After looking around, I chose Song Haizhi.
After listening to it, An Jiu just wanted to say that Song Haizhi was such an unlucky kid. How could he encounter so many bad things?
“Don’t look at me like that,” Song Haizhi laughed. “Lao Mi and I have observed the direction of the abyss. We both agree that the side wall will eventually be unable to stop the abyss from expanding. Everyone will face the abyss and feel its horror.”
It's the same old saying, it's just a matter of time.
An Jiu gave him a thumbs up and said, "You guessed it right. The wall has collapsed, the hive has fallen apart, the capable people have defected to Ting Bai, and the rest of the people have been sent to a different world where they have food and drink. As for the group of leaders, they have gone deep underground."
This place is far away from the border wall, and Song Haizhi was indeed unaware of it. Although he had expected it, when it really happened, he was speechless for a long time.
"This all happened too fast... Could it be related to the explosion of a super-large planet?"
The explosion was so loud that the entire abyss shook.
"Maybe. There's no point in saying this now. Wait for me, I'll get you something." Anjiu disappeared in front of him and reappeared at the same place a moment later.
She put the food and clothes on the table, looked at the stunned Song Haizhi, and said, "Whether that incident has anything to do with me or not, I have always felt very guilty towards you. Now that I have finally found you, I want to ask you a question, Teacher Song, do you want to live in my space?"
Her space is very safe, and can ensure Song Haizhi's future life is worry-free. He can come and go as he pleases, and he can eat and take any supplies in the space...
"No, thank you, Xiaojiu."
Song Haizhi smiled and rejected her.
"……Why?"
Song Haizhi took out a bottle of water, unscrewed the lid and drank it in one gulp. "Before I answer your question, I want to show you something first."
Anjiu followed him and bent down and went out of the "door".
Behind the cave made of vines, there is a more hidden smaller cave, the entrance of which is blocked by dense aerial roots.
He almost crawled in.
"Anjiu, come in, you will understand my thoughts when you see what's inside."
