16: Chapter 16 Sun and Moon Lock

At this moment, Ling Yichen, having already returned to his room, learned through Ye Qingzhu that W intended to go to her home for a free meal.

He sighed softly.

Because he did not want to have too much contact with W.

Although she might not necessarily be from the Celestial God Laboratory, she definitely had some connection to those people.

After all, they both had the same hair and eye color; they were of the same race.

However, he had no right to interfere with Tang Juan's decision, so for now, he could only observe W's situation slowly.

Thinking this, he sat down at the dining table, picked up his chopsticks, and took a bite of the stir-fried pork with chili he had cooked himself.

As soon as the food entered his mouth, Ling Yichen immediately spat it out, his expression pained.

"Hiss~ So salty!"

He hurriedly took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and gulped it down.

At this moment, he felt even more that his decision to go to Ye Qingzhu's house for a free meal was extremely wise.

Next, he filled half a bowl with water, rinsed the meat and chili he picked up in the water, ate a little reluctantly, and then threw away the rest of the meal.

After this experience, he wouldn't want to cook again in the future.

After tidying up the house a bit, the time reached two in the afternoon.

He stood quietly on the balcony, squinting at the sky.

The sky at this moment was cloudless, and the scorching sun burned in the sky.

However, in Ling Yichen's eyes, above that scorching sun, there were two purple halos intersecting horizontally and vertically, looking as if the sun had been locked up by these two purple halos.

He had noticed this ever since he first descended into this world six years ago.

Not only the sun, but even the moon was bound by two intersecting purple halos, as if it were locked up as well.

For the past six years, he had been pondering what kind of world this really was.

Previously, he was imprisoned in a cage and had no way to find out.

But now, he finally had the opportunity to understand it deeply.

"Only by understanding this world can I find a way to go home!"

Ling Yichen muttered to himself.

Yes, he wanted to go home!

He missed his mom and dad, and he missed his little sister!

He had originally lived in a happy and fulfilling family; his parents ran a decent company, his little sister was very cute, and he was a model student who had successfully graduated from elementary school and was about to enter middle school.

But during a graduation trip organized by the school, their car was struck by lightning on a mountain, causing it to lose control, veer off the road, and plunge into the abyss.

And he had passed out when the car plunged into the abyss.

When he woke up, he had already appeared in this world, and was quickly discovered and captured.

He was locked up without even the right to explain or argue, thrown into a cage in a laboratory.

He was locked up for six years!

Over these six years, he gradually learned the writing and language of this world and profoundly realized that this world was different from the one he knew.

This was a world of power, filled with magic and Supernatural Ability.

Humans were clearly divided into ranks.

Those living underground were outcasts, those living on the Surface were Citizens, and those living in the Sky City were residents.

Although he hadn't seen many people, he knew that the power of this world was controlled by the people in the Sky City.

The underground outcasts and the Surface Citizens were all puppets kept in captivity.

Yes, that's right, just puppets.

He had once seen the staff in the laboratory casually take some people from the Surface to conduct experiments; those who died were hauled away by the cartload—it was extremely cruel!

It was from that moment that he learned to endure!

He could endure even the greatest pain because he wanted to live; only by living could there be hope.

Just as he was thinking about these things, the door was knocked on again.

He quickly collected his thoughts and walked slowly to the door.

Opening the door, Ye Qingzhu and the white-haired girl W were standing outside, while Tian Yingying stood in the distance, too wary to come forward.

"I plan to take them to familiarize themselves with the new school environment. Do you want to come along and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yichen nodded without hesitation.

If you're going to act, you have to do the whole thing. Since his current identity was a newly promoted Awakened One, he naturally had to act like a qualified rookie Awakened One.

"I actually went this morning, but since you haven't been there, I can just lead the way for you!"

"Then let's go!"

Immediately, Ye Qingzhu walked in front, then grabbed hold of Tian Yingying, who was leaning against the wall and didn't dare to look directly at Ling Yichen.

At this moment, the white-haired girl W took a look at Ling Yichen, "Classmate Ling Yichen, it seems we will have many opportunities to meet in the future. Please treat me well."

As she spoke, she extended her fair and delicate little hand.

Ling Yichen just glanced at her indifferently, stepped past her, and ignored her.

Hmm?

At this moment, W was full of confusion, staring fixedly at Ling Yichen's back, and whispered: "Strange, where exactly did I offend him?"

Then she hurriedly followed, trotting to Ling Yichen's side, and asked directly: "Classmate Ling Yichen, did I offend you in some way? You seem to really dislike me!"

Ling Yichen paused slightly; he didn't know if this person had a high threshold for social cues or was just really thick-skinned.

Normal people, when encountering someone who dislikes them, usually choose to ignore the other person rather than forcing themselves upon them.

But W had no self-awareness at all; she clearly felt Ling Yichen's dislike yet kept aggressively trying to get close.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Could she be a masochist?

"Yeah, I don't like you! Especially that white hair and those blue eyes of yours!"

Ling Yichen didn't indulge her either and said directly.

Upon hearing this, W looked enlightened: "Ah... I see, that's easy to fix. I can dye it green, and I can wear colored contacts for my eyes!"

Ling Yichen heard this and glanced at her sideways, as if looking at a mentally challenged child.

He then quickened his pace, walked forward a short distance, and tried to separate himself from her.

Unexpectedly, W immediately caught up and asked: "What color hair and eyes do you like? Black? Green? Or pink?"

Ling Yichen rolled his eyes and chose to ignore her.

However, W didn't intend to let Ling Yichen off the hook, continuing to talk. Even if Ling Yichen didn't answer her, she could chat with herself; she was a complete chatterbox.

Ling Yichen felt a massive headache because of this.

He liked quiet and didn't like someone chattering in his ear.

Therefore, he chose the most direct method; he flicked his finger and lightly threw a few Worms at her.

He intended to parasitize her so she would shut up obediently.

However~

When those Worms were about to touch W, a bright golden light suddenly burst forth from W's body. The golden light instantly formed a protective shield, incinerating those few Worms into ash.

This shocked Ling Yichen, and he stared at her in surprise.

This was the first time he had been unable to parasitize someone.

To be precise, it was the first time he had been unable to parasitize someone since coming to the Surface.

"She really does come from the Sky City!!"

Ling Yichen's pupils contracted violently!
