English is so difficult
Ji Yunding said goodbye to Zero, and walked into the transmission channel while struggling with the inexplicable questions from the Mouth of Truth.
Then, I saw Ji Liuxing sitting on the sofa opposite.
Seeing Ji Yunding come back intact, Ji Liuxing breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and smiled: "Did you gain anything?"
"Team leader, don't you blame me for acting on my own?" Ji Yunding tilted his head, expecting to be reprimanded.
"Why should I blame you?" Ji Liuxing looked at Ji Yunding and tilted his head like her. "The fact that you can come back and stand here proves that your decision is based on correct and rational judgment. But remember to go back to the dormitory and report to Zheng Nuo that you are safe. She took the high-speed train back to school and was so anxious that she almost overturned my office."
As they were talking, a voice suddenly interrupted the conversation.
"Mr. Ji Liuxing, I have to remind you of the damage you caused to Bailizhong by forcibly opening the interdimensional channel today..."
"I understand. I will compensate you according to the price."
Facing the strangeness, Ji Liuxing's tone became much colder. Ji Yunding looked in the direction of the familiar voice, but saw the face he had just said goodbye to.
"Zero?"
"It's number thirty-seven." The monster with wings covering his eyes replied politely in the same formulaic tone, "We are a collective of consciousness. You can also regard me as number zero."
Ji Yunding walked around it and observed it, then shook his head: "It feels a little different."
"We will adopt different behavior patterns to adapt to different markets."
As he spoke, No. 37 pointed to the lucky cat on the cabinet.
Ji Yunding looked up at the lucky cat, then looked at the normal potted green plants placed in the room, and accepted this explanation.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, let's go?" Ji Liuxing did not react to the strange words, but just asked Ji Yunding as if seeking his opinion.
"Team leader, I have something to give you." Ji Yunding took out the skull she had carefully protected from her pocket and handed it to Ji Liuxing, "This, the weirdo over there said it belonged to someone in Team 1... so I snatched it back."
Ji Liuxing was stunned, then he took off his gloves and gently touched the center of the skull with his fingers. He quickly withdrew his hands, took a deep breath, and looked as if he was neither crying nor crying.
"Is this... the senior I know?"
"No, it's Wei Qianqiu's brother, Wei Zhishi. He joined a group six years ago and disappeared two years ago."
“…”
For a moment, both of them were silent. No. 37 felt embarrassed about his weird identity and quietly left the room.
"Team Leader, what kind of person is this senior?"
"I remember that he was very similar to Wei Qianqiu. Ever since the weirdness outbreak, all the families have stepped up the training of the younger generation, and the Wei family...due to improper training methods, most of this generation have suffered from mental illness or social disorders."
Ji Liuxing sighed as he recalled,
"Wei Zhishi is also one of the victims. He has been in the group for four years. In the first year, he only spoke three sentences to other group members. In the second year, we found that he got drunk easily and sang when drunk. We became familiar with each other unknowingly. In the third year, Wei Qianqiu joined the group, and he told Wei Qianqiu that the group was good and it was more relaxing than staying at the Wei family. In the fourth year..."
He went missing while on an exploration mission in another world.
Ji Liuxing was silent for a while, took two steps back, and bowed sincerely to Ji Yunding.
"Thank you very much for allowing my former team member to return to the human world and be buried."
This was something that wouldn't do much good, but Ji Yunding did it anyway, and used up her once-a-day oath ability for it - even though this would greatly increase her risk in the alternate dimension.
Ji Yunding actually didn't understand. She had never worried about the life and death of someone she didn't know before, but now, when she heard that the person who died was not a senior she knew, the worry in her heart did not ease at all.
She couldn't figure it out, so she asked Ji Liuxing in front of her directly.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Being able to completely detach from your emotions and act calmly is your talent, but there's no need to be bothered by normal emotions."
Ji Liuxing thought for a moment, then spoke carefully.
"It's not a bad thing. This emotion is both a burden and a strength. However, you may need to learn how to live with it."
After all, the research group is getting smaller every day.
Ji Yunding was still a little confused: "So, this is normal?"
"Yes, and this just proves that you are a very good investigator." Ji Liuxing nodded, his tone somewhat helpless, "I have to say that the industry we are engaged in is demanding and unreasonable in terms of people's psychology."
We must get used to death, but never take it for granted; we must understand the preciousness of life, but also put life on the scales to measure how to protect more people; we must have emotions, but we must also be free from the influence of emotions.
"Student Ji Yunding, you are really amazing." Ji Liuxing adjusted his expression, put away his previous emotions, and smiled at Ji Yunding, "You are also very gentle. If you have time later, can you come and chat with Wei Qianqiu?"
Ji Liuxing noticed that Ji Yunding was very careful when she took out the skull, and she wrapped the skull carefully with a tissue to prevent it from being stained or dusted.
If it was her, perhaps she could help Wei Qianqiu.
"But, Senior Wei Qianqiu and I only spoke once..."
"Since her brother disappeared, she has hardly spoken to anyone else, including the other members of the group." Ji Liuxing shook his head. "I can't help her, but this time you found Wei Zhishi's skull, maybe she will be willing to talk to you."
Ji Yunding knew that she was not good at coaxing people, but she finally agreed.
"Team leader, I remember the contract said that the annual mortality rate of a team is about 15%..."
"Yes, it was about the same last year." Ji Liuxing lowered his eyes slightly, then looked at Ji Yunding seriously, "Student Ji Yunding, I hope you live a long life."
Don't be like me.
It is somewhat difficult to respond to Yuki Ryuki's words "live a long life", and replying with "you too" is too ironic.
Fortunately, he didn't really want to dwell on this topic, but when he thought of this, he gave a blessing that he himself could not achieve.
After returning to the main world, Ji Yunding hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "Team leader, how many black oath warlocks are there in this world?"
Seeing someone passing by occasionally, Ji Liuxing shook his head, signaling her to be careful when discussing this topic: "There is one imprisoned in the Ji family's dungeon."
What I mean is, besides Ji Yunding, there is only one other person.
"I want to meet that person, can I?"
"You need to go through the process to apply to the head of the family, which will take about a week." Ji Liuxing thought about it, and his expression was a little hesitant for some reason, but he finally added, "Is there a problem? If it's urgent, I can take you there now."
The issue of oaths is not a trivial matter. Breaking an oath itself only means that you can no longer use the oath ability. Usually, if you break a white oath, you can wait three years before making another oath. However, breaking an oath caused by the black oath means the collapse of the worldview and the breaking of the backbone.
Without the support of their faith, the mind of an oath warlock usually becomes extremely fragile. If not handled properly, they might do something irreversible.
"I'm not in a hurry...Team leader, aren't you the head of the family?" Ji Yunding was a little surprised.
Ji Liuxing pointed at his golden hair and said, "Oath Warlocks place great importance on family lineage. If I can live longer, it might be possible. But you don't have to worry about it. After the reorganization, the concept of family lineage has become weaker and weaker."
illegitimate child……
Ji Yunding had almost no idea about the term "illegitimate child" and did not understand the cause and effect relationship between them.
Is the bloodline determined by parents really important?
"So, if you can't take responsibility to the end, don't start." Ji Liuxing whispered, not talking to Ji Yunding, but more like talking to himself. Then he spread his hands and put on his usual relaxed expression, "Okay, I should get back to work."
Ji Liuxing was about to go back to the office when he saw something in the distance. He took out his cell phone and fiddled with it for a while. Then he turned around and walked back to Ji Yunding. He hesitated and said, "Student Ji Yunding, how is your English?"
"English? Just, so-so."
Ji Yunding is good at mathematics, but his Chinese and English are only average.
“Do I need to take CET-4 or CET-6 in college?”
"I haven't taken the Level 4 exam yet. I don't know why the school doesn't allow freshmen to take it...but why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Ji Yunding was just puzzled when a fashionably dressed woman came over from a distance and waved at him.
"That person is from a foreign country and is here to exchange strange knowledge with the research team. I've seen him at a conference before. I couldn't get through to the translator just now. Can you please say a few polite words to her? I don't speak English."
"Team leader, you..."
Obviously mixed blood.
"I've never learned a foreign language, and the literature I read about weird things was translated by someone else." Ji Liuxing explained in a low voice, "Everyone saw me coming, I can't just turn around and run away. You can say anything you want."
It was only then that Ji Yunding remembered that except for her and Zheng Nuo, no one in Group 1 had received nine years of compulsory education - including Ji Liuxing.
But Ji Yunding only knew how to take exams and had never spoken English to anyone.
Ji Yunding had never felt so awkward in the other dimension - at least the problems over there were ones she was confident she could solve - but she was forced to do something and since the person had already walked over, Ji Yunding could only smile at her and prepare to take out the "hello" first.
The person on the other side looked at it and seemed to feel that Ji Yun was going to play the role of translator.
"あのう、通訳者の方ですか. 初めまして、本日、よろしくお愿いいたします." (Excuse me, are you a translator? It's the first time I've met, so please take care of me today.)
After hearing this, the number of people at the scene who were at a loss increased to two. The foreign friend made the two people feel what it was like to be in a foreign country.
"...Team Leader, I am now sure that you really don't know any English at all."
