Chapter 67: Tree Gao Girls’ High School 27
The priest disagreed: "It doesn't matter what your name is. Don't you understand? You are just a small pawn in this chess game. You can't play any role and can't hinder anything. The same goes for them." He glanced at Xu Li and others who were on guard.
"Even Luo Yin Guan is just an insignificant chip for me to increase my chances of winning."
Jiang Yuelu: "Then why did you give me that plan?"
"It seems like you really want to be a hero who saves the world, but unfortunately, you can only dream about it." The priest laughed, "Seeing you running around everywhere today, do you know how much I wanted to laugh? So stupid, you are so stupid! I fooled you with just a few words."
Jiang Yuelu was stunned: "...So, the Heavenly Book is fake."
The priest shook his head. "No, no, no, those three volumes are real, and they do contain some key information, but I changed some of them slightly."
Jiang Yuelu: "So, laying down the Zalama along the Yue River and then destroying it... can't be used as a knife to cut off the two sides. The liberation of the girls' high school is also fake."
The priest smiled and nodded: "Right, that's right."
Jiang Yuelu slumped his shoulders, "..."
The priest asked, "What's wrong with you? Just now you were glaring at me with murderous eyes, wishing you could eat me, a liar, but now you look disappointed?"
"Actually..." Jiang Yuelu raised his head, looking far away, wanting to say something but stopping himself. His actions not only left the priest in shock, but also Xie Xiaoya and the others confused.
The priest asked him, “Actually?”
"Actually, I spent some time in an orphanage."
The priest said "Oh" and said perfunctorily: "So."
Jiang Yuelu: "Everyone dislikes the orphanage, but I was quite happy there, and somehow I became the leader of the children..."
The priest interrupted impatiently, "I'm not interested in knowing what kind of miserable past you have, Jiang Yuelu, don't think that everyone in the world will be attracted to you. I'm not that silly girl Xia Yi."
Jiang Yuelu's acting skills were choked by the words "Xia Yi, silly girl". She took a breath to steady herself and continued, "...After becoming the head of the children, I seem to have a responsibility, a responsibility that I cannot abandon them or leave them behind."
"I thought you were the same, Priest."
"Your position in the girls' high school is like that of a principal. The teachers listen to your orders, and the students respect and trust you. On the first day of school, I heard many interesting guesses about you in Class 3. They guessed what you looked like and whether you would quietly walk out of the Moon Altar alone in the dead of night."
"'The priest must be too tired from working so hard that he is so thin. He is worried that we would be sad to see him, so he doesn't come out of the Moon Altar.' They always say that."
The priest remained silent for a long time.
Dust was floating in the dome, and time stood still. If Jiang Yuelu said anything wrong, he would interrupt and refute, but the eyes of the girls told him that Jiang Yuelu was right, and that group of children always trusted him blindly and happily.
His tone was even. "I'm glad you've noticed their loyalty to me. This is the benefit of constantly cleaning their memories. I suggest you try it on the children in the orphanage. By the way, before you do that, you might as well use the people behind you as experimental subjects. This opportunity is rare."
Xu Li and the others all looked gloomy. Jiang Yuelu made a calming gesture and turned back, saying, "I won't do it, Priest. It seems that our ways of being the head of a child are a little different."
"Really? I'm so sorry."
"I'm sorry, too."
"I thought the priest was a responsible person, but..." Jiang Yuelu shook her head and looked away slightly, as if she had suffered an irreversible blow. Xie Xiaoya followed behind and was almost stunned.
"So I have such a great image in your heart?" The priest looked at him suspiciously.
Jiang Yuelu lowered her eyes, as if glass would break easily. "Now I just want to know which of your words to me are true and which are false."
The priest paused for a moment. He sensed that he was hesitating, and sighed, retreating to advance. "Forget it. Even if we know now, what can we do? The situation has been decided, and no one can change it."
The outcome has been decided. The priest agreed with this statement.
He slowly calmed down and said, "Three questions. I can answer three questions for you."
Jiang Yuelu said quickly: "It's a deal."
“The first one.”
"What is your real plan?"
The priest said coldly: "Haven't you figured it out? As you said, I will open another high school tonight and enter it."
"Understood."
The priest felt a little bored. He listened to these boring questions in boredom. Jiang Yuelu didn't surprise him like them. He yawned lazily.
"The second one."
"What is your real plan?"
The priest frowned. "Are you kidding me? I've already answered this question."
Jiang Yuelu said: "You answered the result of the plan, which is that you will enter a real girls' high school. This time I asked what you did to achieve this goal. This is also part of the plan."
The priest said impatiently, "No comment."
"You don't want to answer?" Jiang Yuelu said, "Let me guess. I answered the last question very easily because it had no essential impact on your plan. I didn't answer it directly this time because it touched the core of your plan."
"What will determine your success or failure?"
"You took Leng Wenhan away and placed her on the altar. What are altars usually used for? For sacrifices. What you said before is consistent with this point. You really want to sacrifice Leng Wenhan, which will greatly increase your chances of winning. And you also said that it doesn't matter whether she is there or not. You have already laid out the chess game. Since outsiders like us are dispensable characters, what is important to you, what cannot be lost, and what cannot be replaced?"
"What started at the same time as your plan and has not disappeared in the past ten years?"
Jiang Yuelu paused for a second, "...what is it?"
His pause caught his breath, and the priest was relieved when he heard the question. He said angrily, "Why are you asking me? You asked it yourself, so you should answer it yourself!"
"Okay." Jiang Yuelu paused, "What has always existed is the girls' high school in this school..."
The priest's heart slowly relaxed because of his answer, and he couldn't help but smile, "If this is your answer--"
"I haven't finished yet, Priest. What has always existed are all the students in this girls' high school." Jiang Yuelu said, "What you are going to sacrifice are thousands and thousands of Zhu Ling."
There was silence in the sky.
"I have been wondering why you singled me out and assigned me a task, and even made up a lie to deceive me for this task. Lord Priest, your kindness to me makes me feel uneasy even in my dreams. I wonder what I have done for you, what I have done for you, and what makes me different from others? Do I deserve your special treatment?"
"Hey." Jiang Yuelu said softly.
"I thought about it, and it really is true."
"There is one thing that makes me different from Zhu Ling and the others, and also from Leng Wenhan and the others."
Jiang Yuelu pointed at his neck, and the gesture of suicide was so thrilling that he said, "I don't have the sunstone ring with me."
"It's fine if you don't bring other teachers, because they have already been used by you. But I'm different. Like Xia Yi, I'm also a variable that can easily get out of control. I may also affect your plans for tonight."
"The true form of the Sunstone Circle is the bones of a dead person. You took the trouble to equip each student with it, not just to make this teacher-student role-playing game more realistic, right? And what if they use this power to disobey you? There are so many people, why can you be so confident?"
"Memory cleansing? Cleansing is not enough." Jiang Yuelu said: "Besides, if you have the desire to control others by repeatedly cleaning their memories, can you give them sunstone circles containing huge energy without any worries?"
"Unless you can achieve more perfect control with these sunstone circles."
Jiang Yuelu's analysis without pause left Xie Xiaoya and the others dumbfounded.
Xie Xiaoya suddenly realized, "So that's why you asked us to change it?"
Jiang Yuelu came back from the cemetery last night. The first thing he did was to give them a suggestion, asking them to take some time to change the collars around their necks. He said, "There are many personal bone fragments in the cemetery. You can go there during the Yuehe Festival tomorrow." So now they all wear the same Western goods around their necks as Xiaochun. The priest tried it silently and found that he was no longer able to control them.
He snorted, "It doesn't matter if you are missing a few."
Xie Xiaoya said: "So you really intend to sacrifice them, just for..." Just for such a ridiculous reason?
Jiang Yuelu interrupted, "Priest, don't forget, there is one last question."
The priest said coldly: "Don't you know everything? Why are you asking me?"
Jiang Yuelu said sincerely, "No. I really don't know the answer to this question."
We all know the secrets of the Sunstone Circle, what else do you not know? The priest thought he had other plans. This kid had previously accused him of deceiving him, but now it seemed that he was the one being tricked. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He let him go easily, but he was unwilling to do so, so he pretended to ask, "What answer do you want to know?" In fact, he was ready to trick him.
But he didn't expect Jiang Yuelu to ask him this question -
"Why do you want to enter the Underworld Girls' High School at all costs?"
The priest said calmly: "For revenge."
"Whether you believe it or not, the past stories about the fight between the two tribes are true, and it is also true that we were slaughtered by the tree people until only these people are left. I don't ask to escape unscathed, nor do I ask to live in this world, I just hope to drag those people out and kill them with my own hands. I couldn't do it before, but now I can." The priest said: "Okay, three questions have been answered."
Xie Xiaoya waited for a long time, but the priest didn't speak again, "...Where is he?"
Jiang Yuelu: "Where else can he go? He is busy with his revenge plan."
"How do you know?!"
Of course it’s because the system started broadcasting.
