At this moment, a fanatical and obsessive smile appeared on Field's face.
He reached out his hand in the direction of Gu Xinghe, but dared not actually touch him.
It seemed as if she wanted to completely imprint Gu Xinghe's appearance into her mind.
But looking at the scene before him, Gu Xinghe understood something—
In a previous life, Amato used Field as a sacrifice.
Because he saved Field during a religious ceremony.
Therefore, Field clearly treated him as a god of equal status.
But before Gu Xinghe could continue to ponder, the scene before him began to shatter.
A moment later, Gu Xinghe, who had just woken up from his dream, propped himself up in bed and poked the red jade spider sleeping next to his pillow with his finger.
Thus, Red Spider, who worked tirelessly 24 hours a day, has now started a new round of work under Gu Xinghe's orders.
In retrospect, the secret hidden within the occult research society mentioned in the side quest should be that eyeball model that clearly exudes an eerie aura.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe had the Red Jade Spider do something that was obviously to mark it while it was late at night.
...
The next morning.
This is the seventh day since Gu Xinghe and his group entered St. George's University, and also the last day they will stay in this instance.
There has never been any excessive danger in this instance.
It seemed that the curse about the math professor was just a rumor, and Gu Xinghe didn't even sense any eerie atmosphere.
When Gu Xinghe finished his last class of the afternoon, only a room full of students remained, reluctant to leave.
When he walked out of the classroom, he found Principal Holmes waiting for him in the hallway.
"Professor Gu Xinghe, Mr. Zhenjie, a member of our school's board of directors, would like to speak with you. He said he will be waiting for you in the board of directors' office."
"I understand. Please have the principal inform me."
Although somewhat surprised, Gu Xinghe nodded to indicate that he understood.
At that moment, he also heard Holmes, who appeared calm on the surface, muttering to himself—
I really don't know what the relationship is between these two people...
But this is a question that even Gu Xinghe himself obviously doesn't know the answer to, and he may find out the answer in the following conversation.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe returned to his dormitory room and took off his scarf, stuffing it into his storage space.
Then he placed the red spider, which he had been carrying in his pocket, in the room, patted its head, and told it to wait patiently for his return.
...
“Knock knock knock—”
After settling everything in, Gu Xinghe went to the board of directors' office in the school's administrative area and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
A deep voice came from behind the door.
But upon entering the room, Gu Xinghe realized he didn't recognize the school board member, Zhenjie, who was sitting in her office, clearly waiting for him.
"Professor Gu Xinghe, please have a seat."
However, although he was certain that he had never seen the other person before, there were no symbols or emblems on the other person's clothes at the moment.
But the moment Gu Xinghe saw the school board member in front of him, he was absolutely certain that the other party had some kind of relationship with the Thorn Church.
It was a kind of aura emanating from the other person, and also a vague emotion that Gu Xinghe gleaned from the person in front of him.
At this moment, [Chastity]'s behavior was completely unlike that of a stranger meeting for the first time.
The sharp look in his eyes seemed to dissect Gu Xinghe completely.
But she seemed oblivious to the deep, sharp look in [Chastity].
Gu Xinghe acted just like a real university professor at this moment.
"Professor Gu Xinghe is so young, truly a promising young man, unlike me who is already old..."
After seeing Gu Xinghe sit down, [Chastity] did not greet him in the conventional way.
Instead, he looked at Gu Xinghe and let out a strange sigh.
"The cycle of time will turn young lambs into old sheep, and once innocent children into cunning adults."
However, this process is always accompanied by many regrets.
Therefore, the general public often expresses their feelings—
If only we could turn back time, if only we could start over.
At this point, the voice of "chastity" paused.
He looked like an ordinary old man genuinely lamenting how quickly time flies.
"Sorry, I'm getting old. I doubt young people like you would appreciate the sentiments of an old man like me..."
【Chastity】chuckled softly, as if apologizing to Gu Xinghe for her “nagging”.
If Gu Xinghe, when he first arrived in this world, could hear these words now...
He would definitely show a shocked expression because of these words that almost exposed the secret of his companion.
But now, since acquiring the ability to read minds, Gu Xinghe has become increasingly adept at controlling his own emotions.
Therefore, he remained calm and composed, showing no surprise at the question posed by the other party.
Or it could be a feeling like "a sudden shock".
Whether it was the emotions he expressed or his physiological state such as his heartbeat and breathing, everything was incredibly stable.
Gu Xinghe knew—
Why do his companions from his past life seem to have been reborn and regained their memories of their past lives?
This is a great unsolved mystery.
However, he never spent much time exploring the answer.
Because he knew that he was not yet powerful enough to find clues and answers related to time.
But at this moment, Gu Xinghe vaguely sensed—
Aside from those who had contact with him in a previous life and gained memories of that life, or those who actually experienced rebirth.
Perhaps there are others who have had the same experience, or who know about the experiences of his companions.
Now is clearly not the right time to think about these issues.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe realized—
What he just said was clearly not just an older person's sentiment when seeing a young person, but more of a test.
Even if one were to coincidentally gain a chance to 'start over,' no heretic could defy the goddess's will.
Having clearly heard the thoughts of the person in front of him, Gu Xinghe confirmed that his earlier guess about "chastity" was correct.
But he didn't remain silent any longer, and simply responded to his earlier reflection on "chastity".
"Of course I like it, after all, it can be seen as a reminder from the older generation to the younger generation."
However, the alternation of the sun and moon, and the shifting of stars, are inevitable laws brought about by the development of time.
Perhaps the gods can change this, but it is not something that the will of us mortals can influence.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe appeared to be a humble and knowledge-seeking scholar.
