Chapter 70 Tree Gao Girls’ High School 30
One day ago, by the Moon River.
The pale frost and snow reflected the shadows of Zhu Ling and Jiang Yuelu. She slowly listened to the long story and said, "You came to me specifically to tell me that we will be redeemed soon, right?"
Jiang Yuelu looked at her and said, "You used to be very interested in history." But when he told her about the past ten years ago, Zhu Ling did not react much. She and Lihua knocked on the door of the classroom and said they wanted to go to the library to take a look. It happened just a few days ago, but it seemed like several months had passed.
Zhu Ling said calmly: "History is not necessarily true, teacher."
"Even now, I don't know if my memory has been erased. What was my memory like at the beginning? Am I the same person I was ten years ago? If I'm not sure, why should I care about that history?"
"Compared to these, I want to protect the people around me. They are the real ones. By the way, Mr. Shikatsuki. I haven't thanked you yet. Thank you for saving Xiaochun."
Jiang Yuelu suddenly said: "Actually my name is not Lu Yue."
Zhu Ling was stunned: "...Huh?"
"My real name is Jiang Yuelu, and I am a man. I changed my name to make it easier for me to enter the school."
Zhu Ling was a little surprised, but still nodded and said, "This will be more convenient...but why did you come to the girls' school? And...why did you tell me this?"
Jiang Yuelu: "Because I found out that you care more about the clear and unambiguous truth. So I plan to tell you everything, which will be beneficial to my next plan."
Zhu Ling was confused and asked: "...plan?"
Jiang Yuelu told Zhu Ling about his doubts about the priest's so-called [Heavenly Book Plan]. "The priest said he would take you away, but I looked everywhere and couldn't find any follow-up measures. He made a strict plan for tonight, but he didn't give any instructions about leaving. This is not normal."
"Then consider his attitude towards you. He can easily erase your memory and take people to the forest as sacrifices. He said it was a small price to pay to save more people... Although it can be explained, I always feel that it doesn't match his personality."
"He is quite good at acting. At first, he seemed like a gentle and kind elder. He rarely got angry and he would adopt a friendly attitude of negotiation when meeting with teachers."
Therefore, his anger and rage are so precious, and from that momentary outburst of emotion, one can get a glimpse of his true heart hidden under his acting personality. The only time the priest was angered was when he heard him compare the tree people with them.
At that time, Jiang Yuelu faced his rising tide of anger. If the hatred that supported the rising tide was the hatred that the priest could not conceal, then how powerful and terrifying his hatred would be. And he could hide it very well, which was even more terrifying.
Under all these contradictions, Jiang Yuelu decided to find Zhu Ling and began to pave the way for another path. "If nothing happens tonight, it will be great. I am happy to see you saved. But we can't ignore the other possibility. What if he takes extreme measures to seek revenge - even to the point of sacrificing all of you?"
Zhu Ling felt as if someone had grabbed her throat, "Will the priest do this..."
He will, a voice inside her answered.
He can erase your memory repeatedly without considering your feelings, and even indirectly kill Maidong... What else can't he do?
Zhu Ling slowly came to her senses in Jiang Yuelu's calm eyes. She exhaled and made up her mind: "I understand. What do I need to do?"
"Try to gather all the students together. If necessary, tell Xiaochun what I said. She can be your helper tonight."
"Then?"
"Nothing happened."
Zhu Ling couldn't believe it: "A decisive battle... is that all?"
Jiang Yuelu patted her head and said, "I don't know how to write the script either, little girl, you have to be patient with me."
Zhu Ling lowered her head without confidence, "Okay, I will be confident."
She said nothing. The successive changes made her a little numb. Before Jiang Yuelu called her here, she was still thinking about trivial matters such as what to eat with Lihua tonight. She realized later that this was actually a way of escaping. She didn't want to participate in a huge plan, nor did she want to be involved in the chaos. Her brain couldn't stand the tossing.
Since someone is controlling their life and death like a master of strings, the doll should find its own position. She will stop struggling and be a good puppet.
But.
But... I'm so sad and unwilling.
Jiang Yuelu sighed, squatted down, and looked into her eyes. She didn't understand why the Creator, who symbolized fairness, could give him such a pair of eyes that never dimmed. No matter what desperate situation, he seemed to have a way to solve it.
"Best Wishes. The memory of tonight is something you can create and keep forever." He said, "It will be engraved in your mind for a long time. No one can take it away or wash it away."
She bit her lip, leaving a deep dream mark.
Jiang Yuelu asked: "Do you have the confidence to work with me to create tonight's plan now?"
Zhu Ling paused, then looked up resolutely, "Yes."
-
"My child, you will struggle with the indifferent world."
"My child, you will have to fight against terrible evil spirits."
…
The melodious singing spread throughout the campus.
Zhu Ling whispered, "A long time ago we didn't understand...why the word evil spirit appeared in the school song. Now it seems that you still have a bit of kindness towards us, and you wrote today's ending in a song a long time ago."
"We are not fools. We are also confused. We see contradictory fragments in our broken memories, but it is difficult for us to doubt the priest who takes care of us. You are like all teachers. You are the predecessor and elder who teaches us courses, cooks for us, and helps us grow."
"But, just because we are elders, do we have to lie to us?"
"The classes are fake, and the exams are fake. What you teach is not what we need at all. I have seen schools in other places in picture books. Their teachers teach history so that they can recognize the truth in time; they teach languages so that they can master the skills to communicate with the outside world; they teach geography so that they can see every map of the world clearly. Tell them that you will go to these places sooner or later. Even in the distant future, you will grow up and realize your dreams. Teacher, have you taught us these?"
"You taught us a bunch of useless knowledge and skills that we can't use. In fact, you are telling us that we don't need to have a future. Because sooner or later we will all face this day." Zhu Ling raised her head, "But I want to thank you, Master Priest."
The Moon Altar in the distance was bright and dark, and an old voice came through the dark night: "Thank me for what?"
"Because you did teach us something useful, which is to teach us how to use the power of the moon."
The priest laughed and said, "Don't be ridiculous, Zhu Ling. Your moon power comes from the sunstone circle on your neck. You and I are from the same clan. I know your body as well as I know mine. I went through great pains to get the moon power from the gods. I paid a huge price for it... You don't understand at all."
Zhu Ling: "I understand."
"I know the price you paid. You turned to your enemy's god - the tree god, right? You worshipped the people you hated the most - their gods!"
The moon altar lit up fiercely: "How did you know...how did you know?!"
"Because I've thought about it too!" Zhu Ling roared, "When I hated myself for being an ordinary person, I also thought about what I could do to change my powerless fate. I thought about going to the tree god too! I know you as well as you know me, because we are of the same race!"
She breathed heavily and slowly calmed down: "But I won't do it. This is the difference between me and you."
The priest said coldly: "You are worthy of being my best student. I should admire your bottom line, but unfortunately, you will die soon."
"I won't."
Zhu Ling spoke word by word: "I have my own gods."
After speaking, Zhu Ling closed her eyes, followed by thousands of students behind her.
Not far away, on the roof of the teaching building, Xiaochun's eyes were full of hatred and murderous intent. The girl following behind her asked anxiously: "Xiaochun... aren't you afraid? We are against the priest."
"Afraid?" She snorted, "I'm no longer afraid."
When I saw the torn Ophiopogon japonicus in the tree hole in the cemetery, I was not afraid at all.
"I don't believe that there haven't been strange people in your memories. Strange people who you can't remember. People who make you happy and sad when you think of them." Xiaochun said: "For them, and for us not to become them, follow me now."
After saying this, she also closed her eyes.
The priest saw that they all closed their eyes. Although he didn't know what they were going to do, he felt something was wrong. "You...what are you going to do...you are really rebelling against heaven! You are going against heaven!"
Jiang Yuelu heard his words at the Moon Altar and sneered, "If you go against the will of heaven, who is heaven? You? I think you——"
Buzz! A sharp pain suddenly hits!
Jiang Yuelu's face was pale, and she pressed her solar plexus, where it seemed as if thousands of needles were piercing at the same time. Was it the priest's attack? No. It wasn't him.
His brain felt like it was being twisted together, and he was sweating profusely from the pain. After a dizzy spell, he began to retch. His sudden attack scared the people around him, "Hey, hey! Are you okay?!"
Jiang Yuelu was vomiting so much that he couldn't speak. His vision became blurry and he was having hallucinations.
He actually saw scenes outside the Moon Altar. The continuous jumping of the scenes made him feel nauseous again. Finally, his eyes were fixed on Zhu Ling's pious face. He heard her silent prayer: "God, if there is a god here, I hope you can accept us as believers..."
Good job!
He forgot that he had filled in "Kao Shen" in his faith list!
Chen Chuan joked about being his believer, but he didn't take it seriously. How could a human become a god? But... now he really heard the so-called "believers" making wishes - they were begging the gods to show up and save them. For this, they were willing to pay any price, even their lives...
You've got the wrong person... Jiang Yuelu smiled bitterly in pain.
The "God" you prayed to is now unable to move because of a headache. Just listening to the prayers is painful. If he really agreed to their prayers and accepted nearly a thousand believers... the consequences would be disastrous.
“Ugh…ah…”
He vomited a pool of blood, turned over and slammed his head against the ground. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" After three bangs, he felt warm liquid flowing down his forehead. After the two kinds of pain collided with each other, they achieved a brief balance. He immediately seized this moment and promised, "Okay. I promise you!"
Xie Xiaoya felt an invisible and powerful force rushing past them. The oppressive feeling of that force made them subconsciously want to kneel on the ground. The ugly, unbearable, terrifying force... was rushing towards the battlefield of the attic building.
Soon there were sounds of the priest being stunned and a building collapsing from the other side. Xie Xiaoya didn't care about it. After getting up from the ground, she supported Jiang Yuelu, whose head was covered in blood.
But as soon as she touched his body, Xie Xiaoya was stunned.
Soft...
“Xu Li…” She called out to her friend in a trembling voice, then turned around and said, “It seems like all the bones in his body…are broken…”
Five minutes later.
They carried Jiang Yuelu, who was still alive, to the Pavilion Management Building. It was already a ruin, but fortunately Zhu Ling and the others were intact.
Xie Xiaoya looked around and said uncertainly: "Is it caused by the wave of power just now..." The invisible force that rushed past them turned a building into ruins in an instant, and it was unknown whether the priest was alive or dead.
Xu Li nodded, "It seems so."
"That power seemed to come from him..." Xie Xiaoya hesitated and looked at Jiang Yuelu who was unconscious not far away. They didn't dare to move him, so they used a water ball to wrap him up and transported him here.
Xie Xiaoya asked in a low voice: "Will he die?"
"It's hard to say. His injuries were too severe." Xu Li said, "I don't know what he did, but he got the best result for us. The second question is over, and next we have to find--"
Just as he finished speaking, a piece of gravel suddenly fell from the side.
In the silence, the sound was particularly eye-catching, and the gravel rolled to their feet.
enemy?
Xu Li said vigilantly: "Meng Ru! Come here quickly——"
The second half of her sentence was interrupted by the sound of falling rubble. Suddenly, a person struggled to crawl out from the ruins in front of her. She looked up and found that he looked exactly like Fu Mengru!
She yelled, "Are you blind? Have you been deceived by her for so long?! I am Fu Mengru!"
"As soon as I came in, she tied me up and locked me in the dormitory. I knocked on the wall every day to make noises to remind you, but you didn't notice anything!"
Xie Xiaoya was stunned: "...Meng Ru?"
She turned around and saw another Fu Mengru standing at the end of the road with a grim expression, "Two... two Mengru?!"
"Fu Mengru" lying in the ruins yelled in embarrassment: "I've already said it, I'm Fu Mengru! She's a fake who replaced me!!!"
Xie Xiaoya hesitated: "You are Mengru, then who is she..."
Just as "Fu Mengru" was about to shout, she was pushed back into the ruins by a speeding red shadow. The sound of stones breaking through the ground and screams were heard one after another. In less than a second, "Fu Mengru" was completely buried by the stones.
After doing all this, the girl stood up and brushed off the dust on her hands. Her face quickly changed into another unfamiliar one, more delicate and slender than before, with a strange pale color.
"I've known you for so long, but this is the first time I introduce myself." She pulled out a long scarlet sword from her hand, reflecting her cold eyes.
"Hello, I'm Ji Hongcha."
