Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Chapter 22 (Two in One)…

Chu Xiao had attended the class.

Of course he knew that what was written was that anyone with the purification ability in the early stages of awakening could use their ability if they trusted and had a good impression of someone, and it was not limited to love.

But written opinions are written opinions. Unlike Xiao Shan, Chu Xiao will analyze, think about and question these written opinions.

The reality is that over the past thirty years, the three Purifiers who were able to use their abilities upon initial awakening have all used them on their own lovers.

Without exception.

Doesn’t this mean something?

"How long have you known him? Only two days."

He clenched his teeth, his once fair neck flushed red with anger, and his entire body tensed.

"What did Xiao Shan do to you? It's only been two days. I haven't seen you for two days, and he allowed you to use Purification on him!"

Luo Shi really didn't understand why Chu Xiao suddenly became so angry.

He can use purification, shouldn’t Chu Xiao be happy for him?

Moreover, Chu Xiao used to suppress his anger. At most, his voice would be a little colder and his face would be a little uglier. But if Luo Shi really cared about him, he would be fine.

This is the first time I've felt like I'm losing my mind.

He could hardly recognize that this was Chu Xiao.

Luo Shizhen shrank his neck timidly, not knowing how to answer.

But he was afraid that if he didn't answer, Chu Xiao would get even angrier.

He could only answer in a low voice: "Yes, he helped me put on my combat uniform, taught me training, and asked someone to bring me food, gave me a massage, and said he would protect me. Big Brother is really good, he..."

Luo Shizhen's voice gradually became so low that it was inaudible, because Chu Xiao was visibly feeling even more uncomfortable.

He didn't know if he had said something wrong, so he could only ask cautiously:

"Should I not say this..."

The classroom door behind Chu Xiao had quickly turned into an icy door as Luo Shizhen narrated "My wonderful daily life with my elder brother."

Luo Shizhen scratched his head and asked with concern: "Chu Xiao, why are you angry? Don't be angry all the time. It's not good for your health."

——With a clang.

An icicle on the ice gate that had suddenly grown to its limit fell down with a loud noise.

Sui An and Lin Qi walked to the door and saw this scene, and both stopped.

Lin Qi frowned: "What's going on?"

Sui An didn't care, he just leaned lazily against the wall, saying jokingly:

"Young man."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Heyan, who had hidden outside the door, was taking off his glasses and slowly wiping the frames, as if he was doing something extremely important and could not go forward to stop the students' quarrel.

Lin Qi looked at him and said, "Why don't you stop him?"

"I just used my ability, and now I can't replicate two students for a while. Chu Xiao's internal contamination level is about to reach the critical point. Rather than waiting for him to explode at any time and be difficult to save, it's better to explode now."

Chen Heyan said that his ability was inconvenient to use, but he copied another teacher from the school in his hand and asked it to create an environment to prevent sound leakage.

Lynch understood: "No wonder he is so emotionally unstable."

Chen Heyan's tone was still gentle, but his attitude was very calm.

"If he can't control himself and falls into contamination, there's a certain possibility that Shi Zhen can purify him."

Shi Zhen?

Lin Qi looked through the information of all the students and quickly matched the name Luo Shizhen with the young man in the room who was about eighteen or nineteen years old. He had dark eyes, a hint of simplicity between his eyebrows, and a slightly distressed expression.

"This is the Purifier. He seems to have a good temper. It's hard for you to bring him to school under such pressure."

The students didn't know, but the teachers knew very well that Luoxia City was not the only school for awakeners.

The weird things are rampant and their numbers are increasing. If only 27 awakened people appeared in a city in three years, Xia Country would have been finished long ago.

An ordinary awakened school has at least two to three hundred students.

This school is special. Before being discovered by the Awakening Center, the Qi of the twenty-seven students except Luo Shizhen had lost balance and were in a state of chaos.

This means that they are very strong, but they may also be completely destabilized by the balance between their body and Qi at any time due to various things, and be contaminated by the Qi surging from within.

Or, cross this level and become an awakener who is more powerful than others.

Or, be polluted and alienated.

This is true for every student here. Some know their physical condition, while others don't.

Most of them may not live past the age of 25. Some will die in battle, while others may die of alienation before they can become guardians.

Yong Zhou and the school teachers were very cautious and tried to use various methods to maintain the balance for them as much as possible.

Last year, the Qi in Chu Xiao and Qin Yinian's bodies had already reached the critical value, especially Chu Xiao. In that situation, he could have transformed at any time.

But the good news is that the two people can suppress each other, and once Chu Xiao returns to No. 3 Middle School, his emotions will stabilize.

So, it evolved into a situation where both of them were attending No. 3 Middle School, with Chen and Yan accompanying them as security officer teachers.

Chu Xiao’s leg was broken before because Chen Heyan noticed that he was about to become alienated. In order to delay the alienation, they lied that the school was going to a training camp and deliberately let him be strangely and seriously injured.

Although Chu Xiao needs to recuperate for a period of time due to the severe damage to his vitality, the Qi in his body will also be lost. Doesn't this allow him to delay it for a while?

"Shi Zhen is very special. Chu Xiao cares about Shi Zhen very much, so I'm not surprised that the Qi in his body will temporarily stabilize after he comes into contact with Shi Zhen, but the same is true for Qin Yinian."

Chen Heyan's eyes lit up:

"Shi Zhen's personality is different from other Purifiers. He is more tolerant and gentle. Maybe this is the reason."

The moment he discovered this, Chen Heyan suddenly had an idea.

What if Luo Shi really came to this school?

If he could develop feelings for some students, he could use his purifying power on them.

Perhaps, a few of these young students who are gifted but destined to die early can be saved.

Lin Qi: "No wonder you insisted on having Luo Shizhen come to this school, despite everyone's objections."

He glanced at Sui An again and said, "I was wondering why it was so strange. Team Sui originally drew lots for another school, but suddenly they switched us here."

"Captain Sui, is your purpose in coming here to protect this new Purifier?"

Sui An was still in a lazy state, even leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, his tone was also lazy:

"He doesn't need my protection. Did you see the watch he's wearing? It's Yong Zhou's latest development. There are only ten of them in the country. Part of the power of the ten control monitors is locked inside, and it will automatically trigger in the event of danger."

As the top combat force of Xia Country, even if only a part of their strength is available, it is enough to deal with 99% of dangerous situations.

This is why Chen Heyan felt at ease sending Luo Shizhen to the dormitory.

It wasn't that he trusted his students so much that they wouldn't hurt innocent people, but he knew:

Protected by the power of the control supervisor, none of the 27 students in the school could hurt Luo Shizhen at all.

Lynch looked carefully and it was true:

"Boss, so, part of your power is also locked in a watch?"

Isn’t Sui An the manipulator?

Lynch peeked into the classroom.

"Could the power in the watch this student is wearing be yours? What is this? This is fate. Captain Sui, use this to talk to this young student. Maybe you can coax him into joining our team."

Their team has never had anyone with purification abilities.

There have been assignments from higher up before, but there was a control supervisor in the team, and those with purification abilities couldn't stand the violent Qi, so they would apply to transfer to another team after just two days.

But Lin Qi looked at the child Luo Shizhen, who looked dazed, but had an attitude of being calm even under the influence of Qi.

Maybe, I can adapt to their team.

"You can coax him. This child looks silly and easy to coax. Just give him some food and drinks, and buy him a toy or something. You will definitely be able to coax him into giving."

Sui An: "Why do you make me sound like a pervert who kidnaps children?"

Lin Qi: "This is a person with the ability to purify. It's abnormal, but boss, just consider it a sacrifice for our team."

Sui An: "Get lost."

Lynch: “Okay!”

The teachers were chatting outside, but the atmosphere in the classroom was still tense.

Chu Xiao's Qi was released from his body, but although he was clearly in a chaotic state, the Qi still carefully bypassed Luo Shizhen and did not bring him any pressure.

He bypassed Luo Shizhen but not Xiao Shan. He even ran towards Xiao Shan with anger.

Xiao Shan was no pushover either, and his aura immediately became violent.

The school doctor who had just cured them heard a beeping warning on his watch. He immediately took a big step back with great skill and naturalness, and walked out with the medicine box in hand.

It can be said that he slipped away very quickly.

When he went out, he saw three people standing in a row outside. The school doctor only knew Chen and Yan, and he shouted to him:

"Teacher Chen, my watch is warning me that your students are about to start fighting again. I'm leaving now. Call me when the fight is over and someone needs treatment."

He was shouting as he spoke, and by the time he finished shouting, he had already gone downstairs.

As an ordinary person in the Awakener School, the school doctor's running speed would definitely put him in the top three even in a running competition.

Lynch: "It's really going to be a fight."

Chen Heyan stretched his neck, already used to it: "Young people are full of energy. They just had a fight, and they can still have another one."

Lin Qi: "What if Luo Shi really can't purify Chu Xiao? Should I rush in and beat Chu Xiao half to death? Forcibly interrupt the alienation process?"

Chen Heyan showed an admiring expression: "Teacher Lin, you are already a qualified teacher."

Lin Qi: "What if Captain Sui and I didn't come? Would you use your clones to fight?"

Chen Heyan: "The vice-principal is sleeping under the table. He will come out soon."

Lynch:?

He just couldn't understand how the two words "under the table" and "sleep" were put together.

Chen Heyan: "The vice principal is like this. He likes to dig holes underground. You will know it later."

Lynch expressed his understanding. After all, there were too many awakened people with strange habits.

He had heard a saying before that artists are all crazy. In his opinion, it should be that all awakened people are crazy.

The only difference is that some people are completely crazy, some are only half crazy, and some have invisible crazy genes, waiting to erupt at any time.

Lin Qi: "It's a pity that the tactic of beating someone half to death can't be used frequently. If I beat this student half to death today, and he's critically contaminated again in a few days, I can't beat him to death again, right?"

To interrupt the internal alienation of the awakened one, you can indeed force it by beating him half to death.

But the problem is, I can only beat the enemy half to death every time, and even one-third dead is not enough. Half of the "blood" was lost before, and it has not been recovered yet, so naturally I can't beat it half again.

Chen Heyan was very calm:

"If Chu Xiao reaches criticality again soon, there will be nothing we can do. His condition cannot be delayed any longer. Then we will have to trouble the Inspector."

Lin Qi was silent for a moment, then said:

"That's good. Captain Sui won't let this child suffer."

Chen Heyan said calmly: "Yes, he was very steady."

Sui An still looked lazy with his eyes closed, resting, as if he didn't hear what they were saying at all.

Chen Heyan's expression remained calm, but his eyes were always fixed on the classroom, and the corners of his lips were nervously pursed into a straight line.

If Chu Xiao can't make it through...

Then he would have to make preparations to transfer Luo Shizhen to another school.

Having already lost Chu Xiao, he couldn't possibly let Luo Shizhen, such an innocent child, face the death of his friend with his own eyes.

Chen Heyan thought about the time when he asked Luo Shizhen alone during the eternal day.

——"The school Chu Xiao and Qin Yinian are attending now is... a bit dangerous. The students have bad tempers and may need to be purified. The other school has relatively kind students. Shi Zhen, which school do you want to go to?"

——"Well... I'd better go to the school where you guys are, Teacher Chen. It doesn't matter if it's dangerous. I'm very strong. Besides, Chu Xiao has been in poor health since he was a child. He even broke his leg before. If I go, I can still protect him. I was the one who protected him in the past."

The students who were still wearing the No. 3 Middle School uniform patted their chests optimistically:

——"It doesn't matter if they need to be purified. I have the ability to purify them! I will definitely be able to purify them when the time comes!"

Chen Heyan sighed slightly.

This kid... really makes me feel soft-hearted.

Therefore, I don't want him to get hurt even more.

The elf sensed his master's emotions and also stuck out his green head to look into the classroom.

Lin Qi also began to plan, ready to rush in as quickly as possible to interrupt Chu Xiao's transformation if the situation turned bad.

Although they knew they could interrupt it once, the three of them also knew that internal alienation would become more and more frequent and would be impossible to stop artificially.

To some extent.

Chu Xiao’s life or death depends on this moment.

Inside the house, Luo Shizhen watched helplessly as his two friends started fighting again.

Why are they always fighting?

He rushed over anxiously and pulled them apart.

Xiao Shan's face was cold and hard, but he let go of his hand for fear of hurting Luo Shizhen.

Even Chu Xiao, who only had a little bit of rationality left, forced himself to control himself after Luo Shizhen ran over.

Luo Shizhen was in a terrible headache: "Can't you just say it nicely? Chu Xiao, your face is fine, you should just... "

He suddenly stopped and looked at Chu Xiao's face in shock: "You, your face..."

Chu Xiao realized something and suddenly covered his face.

What I touched was not the delicate and smooth skin that should be, but a hard shell that was intertwined and stacked together like sections.

"My face..."

Chu Xiao subconsciously looked at Luo Shizhen.

But in the pupils of Luo Shizhen's reflection, he saw a disgusting monster with half a human face and the other half a distorted face covered by piled up small stones.

He realized it instantly.

He is alienating——

"Don't look at me! Don't look at me!"

Chu Xiao covered his face and avoided Luo Shizhen's sight. His mind became a little unclear, and his pupils turned into double pupils for a while, and then turned back into human appearance.

This is a sign of alienation.

Luo Shizhen's expression was still dazed, but he subconsciously moved forward to grab Chu Xiao, but was pulled back by Xiao Shan.

"Don't go over there, he's alienating."

When Xiao Shan looked at Chu Xiao, there was no longer any arrogance in his eyes, but a complicated expression.

The same as him include Qin Yinian and other classmates.

Even if no one likes anyone else in normal times, as awakened people who may also be alienated in the future, no one wants to see this scene.

"The seventh one."

Someone whispered.

When the school first started, there were thirty-four students.

One after another, six students lost their balance and became alienated. They might have been in class together the day before, but the next day, a newly built grave appeared on the hill behind the school.

Now, Chu Xiao is the seventh.

Lu Qiujin slowly stood up and looked at Chu Xiao, who showed panic for the first time.

In his eyes, Chu Xiao's face gradually turned into his face.

Chu Xiao's panic also became his panic.

Will he panic?

Lu Qiujin wasn't sure.

Chu Xiao was so panicked because Luo Shizhen was there, and he didn't want Luo Shizhen to see his ugly and miserable appearance.

However, after his death, Luo Shizhen would definitely be sad for Chu Xiao.

Maybe even cry.

Where is Lu Qiujin?

If he had become a monster, no one would have felt sorry for him. Even his parents might have just pretended to feel bad, and then said, "We knew this day would come. Qiu Jin is still a good person. It took so long."

In the first year, worship him.

The next year, forget him.

In the third year, Lu Qiujin completely disappeared from people's memory, as if this person had never appeared.

Maybe Chu Xiao will too.

Luo Shizhen might still remember him in the first five years, but as time goes by, the traces of the dead will naturally fade away.

Therefore, Lu Qiujin will not die.

Even if he became a monster, he would never want to die.

Lu Qiujin looked at Chu Xiao who was standing there with his face covered, and thought: How stupid.

Chu Xiao stayed where he was without moving, which meant he was waiting to die.

Lu Qiujin could see that he was waiting for other students or teachers to get rid of him after he was completely alienated.

He did this just to leave a better impression in front of Luo Shizhen, rather than existing as a monster.

Under Lu Qiujin's gaze, Xiao Shan looked at Chu Xiao with a complicated expression, then raised his big hands and covered Luo Shizhen's eyes.

"Don't look, he doesn't want you to see him."

Chu Xiao, who was almost unable to stand while holding on to the wall, breathed a sigh of relief. Even though his mind was already confused, he still didn't want Luo Shizhen to see him in such an ugly state.

Unexpectedly, it was Xiao Shan, who was competing with him, who helped him.

The twisted stones crawled across his face as if alive, then moved to the other side, eager to replace this body.

pain--

Extreme pain——

It was as if something was roaring and snarling in his heart, wanting to devour him whole.

He didn't want to, didn't want to be devoured.

Shi Zhen...Luo Shi Zhen, Luo Shi Zhen was still waiting for him to discuss the test paper and wait for him to finish school.

Chu Xiao's vision began to blur, as if he saw himself as a child carrying a schoolbag, and Luo Shizhen was happily chattering beside him about the happy things that happened to him today.

These images are now shattering in his memory, representing the disappearance of his human side.

It's a pity——

Chu Xiao suddenly thought, would Shi Zhen think that he lost control and became alienated because he quarreled with him?

No, that's not the case. He has always been on the edge of alienation.

He just wanted to ask why it was Xiao Shan.

Why not him?

He was obviously the one who had always been by Luo Shizhen's side.

Chu Xiao opened his mouth, but found that he could not make any sound. His throat seemed to be quickly filled with stones.

No, he can't alienate now.

This was not the first time that Chu Xiao encountered this situation. The last time, he was strangely and seriously injured during the process of alienation. Although most of his body was damaged, the alienation was interrupted.

What about this time?

The whites of his eyes were covered by a large area of ​​black, but his hands were trembling. He accurately pulled out the dagger hanging from his waist and pointed it at his heart.

Lin Qi stopped when he was about to go in:

"It seems that he doesn't need me anymore. He plans to do it himself."

He felt a little emotional and also a little appreciative. Only a dozen seconds had passed before Chu Xiao figured out the key and was able to do it himself.

If this kid can successfully overcome this hurdle, he will definitely be a big shot in the future.

"Chu Xiao!!"

Chu Xiao failed to succeed on his own.

The moment the dagger stabbed down, it was knocked away by Luo Shizhen who broke free from Xiao Shan's hand.

bite--

With a crisp sound, Chu Xiao was embraced in a warm embrace the next second.

"Chu Xiao, it's okay, it's okay."

Luo Shizhen's voice was a little shaky, but very firm, just like when Chu Xiao was isolated and bullied as a child, he ran out and beat everyone away, then pulled Chu Xiao up to comfort him.

"Are you contaminated? Don't be afraid, it's okay. I have the ability to purify you. I can purify you."

"I can purify it. My teacher said I'm very powerful. You'll be fine as long as I'm here."

Luo Shizhen's hand fell on Chu Xiao's cheek when he said the first word. The layers of stone were cold and hard, giving him a strange touch, but he was not afraid at all.

Although he was afraid of ghosts, this was Chu Xiao, his good friend Chu Xiao.

Chu Xiao must be very scared. He still remembered that when he was a child, Chu Xiao was bullied. He pretended to be fine on the surface and still had that cold look, but he found out that Chu Xiao was crying secretly.

In Luo Shizhen's eyes, Chu Xiao has always been the friend who needs his physical protection and who cries secretly when he can't beat him.

He carefully held Chu Xiao in his arms, and where his palms touched, the black air that seemed to be constantly emerging gradually disappeared.

Chen Heyan, who had been paying close attention, took two steps forward excitedly.

He looked at Luo Shizhen with tenderness and admiration. This young Purifier who always seemed weak and could be kneaded like a piece of dough, now had the firmness unique to a guardian on his face.

“Yes!! It really works!!”

Lin Qi was a little surprised: "It's still purifying? Isn't Luo Shi really just the first level?"

Chen Heyan was also a little confused by this situation.

To put it simply, internal alienation means that the body has accumulated a lot of pollution. Once the pollution reaches the critical point, it can no longer be balanced, so it begins to discharge violently.

It is equivalent to the critical point being at 100. When the pollution reaches 99, it becomes precarious. When it exceeds 100, it will burst out, causing the internal collapse of the body and all the pollution to pour out.

At this time, if someone with purification ability helps to purify part of the body and resolve the pollution that was flushed out first, only about 81% of the pollution will remain inside the body, returning to the critical point. The awakened person will be able to withstand this internal alienation.

Although it will still be partially contaminated, the divine intelligence can preserve it. As long as you are careful in the battle with the weirdness and seek treatment immediately after suffering external contamination, there will be no major problems.

Ke Luo Shizhen had already purified the pollution that had leaked out to the outside, but he was still continuing to purify the pollution in Chu Xiao's body through the opening.

Lin Qi's expression had turned serious, and he adjusted his watch:

"The pollution level in Chu Xiao's body has dropped to 74%."

The pollution value is naturally divided into different levels. The higher the degree of pollution, the more the awakened person will be affected.

0%-30% is the white zone, which is basically safe.

31%-59% is the gray zone, which is a bit problematic, but can be controlled. Most awakened people are in a gray zone pollution state.

60%-80% is the black zone. At this time, the situation is already very serious. Yong Zhou will send security officers to follow and help the awakened to reduce pollution as much as possible.

And 81%-100% means that they may be alienated and annihilated at any time.

Chu Xiao's value had been fluctuating around 99 and had just broken through 100%.

But now, under Luo Shizhen's purification, his pollution value is dropping rapidly.

Chu Xiao's body has returned to normal and his eyes have become clear.

“68%.”

"51%"

Lin Qi put down his hand, with some shock in his eyes:

"It's down to level 49. In less than two minutes, it went from [Annihilation] all the way down to [Gray Domain]."

Even though Chu Xiao is only a first-level awakener, the 100% pollution content in his body is not high, but Luo Shizhen is only a first-level awakener.

He is even the purifier who has the most difficulty using his abilities in the early stages.

Quiet--

The teachers were quiet, and so were the other students.

Everyone could see that Luo Shizhen, who had just awakened, was diligently clearing the pollution for Chu Xiao.

Luo Shizhen didn't stop. He was actually a little "unable to eat anymore", but it didn't matter. He just wanted to hold on.

When he was a child, there was a period of time when he didn't know whether he was hungry or full, and he often overate. His grandmother often said that raising him was like raising a fish. Fortunately, he was in good health. Although he always overate, he never had any problems.

Luo Shizhen was eating seriously, and it seemed that he could only see the black air in his eyes.

Delicious, delicious, delicious.

It’s okay, Luo Shizhen, I’m just full. At least these things are delicious. I can eat delicious food and protect Chu Xiao at the same time. What a great thing.

Luo Shizhen stubbornly continued to "eat" the black air on Chu Xiao's body, and then suddenly he seemed to hear a bang.

His "belly" seemed to have grown bigger.

Luo Shizhen's vision suddenly became clear, and he felt that his ears and eyes suddenly became sharper. He could even hear Chu Xiao's rapid heartbeat.

"Shi Zhen..."

Chu Xiao was calling him.

Luo Shizhen finally came back to his senses and looked at him in surprise: "Chu Xiao! You're fine!"

Lin Qi looked at the stopped value and said, "35%. Holy shit, is this really something a new Purifier can do?"

Sui An slowly walked up to him and said, "He advanced, just now."

Lynch: “!”

He even forgot to act serious in front of the students.

"What a powerful talent! I remember he only awakened less than a month ago?!"

Chen Heyan looked at Chu Xiao's expression and asked, "Why does Chu Xiao look a little off?"

Sui An laughed: "During the alienation process, he was forcibly purified and rescued. His spirit was pulled by both sides, and he needs a good sleep to recuperate his body."

Seeing the student being rescued, Sui An's mood improved a lot, and he quickly switched to watching the fun:

"He won't last long before he falls asleep. Before that, he'll be like a normal person after general anesthesia."

"Hmm...it should reveal your truest thoughts."

Sui An was very interested and even lowered his voice: "Let's see what he has to say."

Chen Heyan: ...I understand.

He instantly thought of his second uncle who woke up from general anesthesia and babbled nonsense about wanting to become Ultraman to save the earth.

Luo Shizhen didn't notice the teachers.

He was concentrating on checking whether Chu Xiao was feeling unwell anywhere else.

Everything is fine.

Chu Xiao’s eyes were very strange and gentle, as if ice had melted into water.

"You used Purify on me, too."

Chu Xiao murmured, with surprise and disbelief in his eyes.

"I thought you were deceived by Xiao Shan."

Xiao Shan rolled his eyes behind him.

Chu Xiao was still in Luo Shizhen's arms, and suddenly held Luo Shizhen's hand.

"Shi Zhen, I didn't expect that you could really save me with purification..."

He hesitated for a moment, then his eyes became firm and he said reluctantly.

“Xiao Shan…it’s okay, I don’t care about him. If you like it, I can accept it.”

Xiao Shan rolled his eyes again.

Luo Shi was really scared.

He grabbed Chu Xiao's hand and held it tightly.

"Okay, okay, let's be good friends. Chu Xiao, are you okay? How did you get contaminated? I never noticed it before. If you feel uncomfortable in the future, you must tell me and I will purify it. You must be fine, okay? We still have to graduate together, become guardians together, and fight weird together. You must hold on."

He tried to encourage Chu Xiao:

"When I get married and have children, you will be my child's godfather!"

Chu Xiao fell silent.

Then he slowly, slowly closed his eyes.

Luo Shi was really panicked:

"Chu Xiao? Chu Xiao?!"

"Teacher!! Chu Xiao fainted!!"
