I have no idea
After calling Ji Yunding over, Tang Yun felt that she had never been so nervous since she became a training officer - perhaps this was the biggest trouble she had encountered in her career as a training officer.
Ji Yunding obediently moved a chair and sat face to face with Tang Yun, and was the first to speak: "Sister Tang, is there anything I did wrong?"
"...If only it were such a simple question." Tang Yun muttered, sighed, and decided to get straight to the point where she was confused. "I'm just a little curious, why did you join the investigation team?"
"Five insurances, one housing fund and thirteen salaries... Now there are sixteen salaries, and Group 1 will start paying me starting this month."
Ji Yunding laughed happily, but Tang Yun was silent for a while and asked, "I heard that you did a lot of dangerous things that you obviously didn't have to do, right?"
“Because there are performance benefits.”
"No, I want to ask, why... do you want five insurances, one fund and thirteen salaries so much." It always felt weird when Tang Yun said this - who doesn't want good treatment, but it is very rare to find someone who is so persistent to this extent.
Ji Yunding doesn't seem like someone who is particularly obsessed with money, and for the sake of stability he shouldn't do this business.
Tang Yun's question stumped Ji Yunding. She thought about it in silence for a long time and finally shook her head.
"Sister Tang, I don't know. Sorry."
Tang Yun was about to ask Ji Yunding if she had ever seen a psychiatrist, but suddenly remembered that she was isolated and protected because she found out that the psychiatrist had problems.
"Then...are you unhappy about anything?"
"No, I'm very happy every day after I went to college." This time Ji Yunding answered quickly. Ji Yunding and Li Fengqing's words were not exaggerated at all - except for the life-threatening situation, everything else was fine.
"My roommates are very nice, the classes are interesting, the food in the cafeteria is delicious, and my boss is also very nice." Ji Yunding counted on his fingers, "Also, although I don't quite understand it, I seem to be doing well."
He looks like a normal and optimistic child, but Tang Yun knows that this is not normal.
Ji Yunding obviously lacked a lot of cognition, which caused her to secretly extend her tentacles like a friendly little octopus to imitate the actions of others, but she didn't know how conspicuous she was in this special environment where she was on the front line of dealing with ghost stories.
Just when Tang Yun was worried, Ji Yunding took the lead and said, "Sister Tang, I'm fine."
Ji Yunding's words were completely beyond Tang Yun's expectations - judging from Ji Yunding's performance, she was very observant, but her dullness to some things was a bit frustrating.
"Some friends have asked me similar questions, so I can feel what you want to say." Ji Yunding lowered his head and smiled, "But I don't want to think about unnecessary things. It's enough for me to be happy now."
Tang Yun sighed. It turned out that he was not suitable for this kind of thing...
"Sorry, I won't mention it again." Even when facing a student who was more than 20 years younger than him, Tang Yun apologized very straightforwardly.
However, in the following days, Tang Yun often saw Ji Yunding in a daze during his breaks, looking at the clouds in the sky and thinking about something.
Tang Yun felt completely frustrated - apart from guidance, there was nothing she could do for Ji Yunding. This child seemed to have long been accustomed to solving all problems by himself, and there was no room for others to intervene.
But at least, she had to help Ji Yunding complete the entire training.
"Ji Yunding, you should be able to practice your body today." Tang Yun walked over and sat next to Ji Yunding. "You are making fast progress, not bad."
"Physical training?"
"Oh, I forgot you might not have learned it yet."
Because of Ji Yunding's outstanding performance, Tang Yun often forgets that she is a freshman who has just entered the school.
"In simple terms, current research divides the energy in the world into positive and negative energy. The energy that drives living things is called positive energy, while the energy that drives weird things is called negative energy. The two can be transformed into each other. However, this transformation must require certain conditions.
For example, when you leave a strange story, you will take away some of the power of the core strangeness, but when you are fully aware of the content of the strange story, leaving it step by step can only guarantee your safety and will not give you any benefits. It is inferred that this seems to follow some strange conservation law.
One of Ji Liuxing's key projects is to study how to transform negative energy. And 'body refining' is the most important achievement in recent years. As the name suggests, negative energy stimulates the positive energy in your body, thereby promoting the fusion and absorption of positive energy, achieving the effect of tempering the body. "
"Then what price will I have to pay?" Since Tang Yun mentioned that energy conversion must follow certain conservation laws, Ji Yunding naturally asked.
"It hurts." This time Tang Yun answered concisely, "Transformation without sequelae is very, very painful, it can be said that it is worse than death. If the body and will are not trained well, it is possible that you can't make it. Your physical indicators have reached the standard, are you okay today?"
After Ji Yunding nodded, Tang Yun took her to a small room. In the middle of the room was something like an operating table, surrounded by many complicated instruments. Then, she locked Ji Yunding on the table.
"If it hurts, just scream. The sound insulation here is very good." After Tang Yun checked all the locks one last time, he gave some instructions with some concern.
As the roar of the machinery gradually increased, Ji Yunding felt his whole body becoming colder and colder.
At first it felt like the damp and cold weather in the south, not severe, but chilling enough to make your bones uncomfortable. Five minutes later, it felt like the cold wind from the far north, so cold that it could sting your cheeks.
It was so cold that my internal organs were aching. Ji Yunding felt his heartbeat quicken, and then the blood in his body seemed to boil, and the burning pain spread from the inside out.
As negative energy surged, purple spots continued to appear on Ji Yunding's body, and quickly dissipated as the blood rushed.
Ji Yunding had been gritting his teeth tightly, and finally couldn't help but groan, but still didn't scream out.
It's not that she wanted to hold it back, but she felt a strange feeling coming from a place deeper than her heart, liver, spleen and stomach. Her consciousness seemed to be squeezed out of her body in pain, and she couldn't control herself from making a sound for a while.
An unknown amount of time had passed until the chilly feeling faded away and the restraints on his wrists and ankles were untied. Only then did Ji Yunding feel that he had regained control of his body.
But when Ji Yunding tried to stand up and take a step, he took too big a step and fell to the ground.
"Take three days off. You need to adapt to your sudden increase in physical ability." Tang Yun said as he reset the equipment and uploaded the data to the cloud. "Just walk. Don't exercise. You may strain your muscles due to excessive force."
However, Ji Yunding couldn't even stand up now. He always felt that he was either using too little or too much strength. He struggled for a long time before he sat up.
"Sister Tang, I can't stand up." Ji Yunding stretched out her hands to Tang Yun, intending to ask Tang Yun to help her. But Tang Yun directly carried Ji Yunding on his shoulders.
"Continue training in three days. Your round of training will be finished in another month, and you will be able to catch up with the group's practical class and go to the other dimension by then."
"Yes. Thank you for your care during this time."
Ji Yunding thanked him sincerely, and clenched his fists one by one according to Tang Yun's instructions, slowly taming his body.
After that, I trained step by step and the three months were completed quickly and smoothly, but a small accident happened in the end.
"Ji Liuxing, take a quick look, this child has corpse spots!" Tang Yun and Ji Yunding hurriedly kicked open Ji Liuxing's office.
Ji Liuxing, who was lying on the table, looked up and yawned: "People with high affinity are like this - they have more negative energy in their bodies, and it will be fine after a while."
"But it's usually not that serious."
Ji Yunding's arms and face were covered with cloud-like dark purple-red marks, which were particularly severe on the back of his hands. Some of the marks even merged into one.
"Xie Yian wanted to snatch her away so much, I guess her affinity must be very high, it doesn't matter. Classmate Ji Yunding, how do you feel?"
Ji Yunding, who was called, said honestly: "It's okay, just a little cold."
"That's fine. If you think it doesn't look good, you can put on some foundation to cover it up. If you don't mind, just leave it alone." Ji Liuxing stood up unsteadily and walked around Ji Yunding. "Personally, I think it's fine to leave it alone. The girl is still very beautiful. It won't have much of an impact."
"...Team leader, compared to me, why don't you go to sleep first." Although there was no such big abnormality on the surface, Ji Yunding felt that if a person like Ji Liuxing showed any noticeable abnormality, he would probably be dying.
"It's okay. You're here just in time. I'll tell you everything at once." Ji Liuxing yawned again, walked to the cabinet and searched for a while, then took out a piece of paper and handed it to Ji Yunding, "Do you want to be an oath warlock?"
"Team leader, you speak like a human trafficker."
"Don't be afraid. If I want to sell you out, I think Sister Tang will fight me." Ji Liuxing looked at Tang Yun and smiled, "Really? I told you that you would like her very much."
Tang Yun snorted and turned away.
Ji Yunding looked here and there, wondering whether he should follow Tang Yun.
"Don't look at it. When a sworn warlock takes an oath, there cannot be a third person present. She is just avoiding him for a while. You can go back to Group 10 to find her later." Ji Liuxing casually pushed a blood contract to Ji Yunding, "Sign it as insurance."
Ji Yunding took a quick look and roughly understood it - the inheritance of a non-family oath warlock must be shared by a sufficiently powerful oath warlock as a guide, to show trust and affirmation of this person. After this person becomes a new oath warlock, he must also tell his oath to the guide.
The "oath" of an oath warlock is similar to the weird "rules", both of which are to restrain oneself in exchange for power. The difference is that the oath warlock needs to recognize and implement the oath from the bottom of his heart, otherwise he will break the oath.
Seeing Ji Yunding finished signing, Ji Liuxing continued, "My oath is 'believe that all monsters have an unchangeable evil nature, and kill all monsters that I touch directly with my hands'. The oath ability is to mark the monsters that I touch, causing them to enter a weakened state within a 1,000-meter radius with me as the center."
Ji Yunding was stunned - the team leader's ability is not...
"Student Ji Yunding, the oath of an oath-teller is a very private matter, so you have to be a little cunning." Ji Liuxing smiled and spread his hands, "But 'devouring unnatural energy and its effects' is the result of my research, so it can also be considered my ability."
Ji Yunding looked at the white paper in his hand, a little confused: "Team leader, how do I use this?"
"It can tell you whether the oath can be fulfilled, and what kind of ability you will gain after it is fulfilled." Ji Liuxing handed over a pen and then lay back on the table. "Think about what you want to do. Just call me when you have made up your mind."
So Ji Yunding found a chair and sat down quietly for four hours, staring at the white paper in a trance. Until the sun set and the light coming in from the window gradually turned red, Ji Yunding was unable to write a single stroke.
"Team leader, I want to ask a question." Ji Yunding looked up at Ji Liuxing who had just woken up, "Why are you working so hard to save the world?"
Ji Liuxing was stunned: "Why are you asking this?"
"Sister Tang asked me why I was so obsessed with the five social insurances and one housing fund, but I couldn't answer."
Ji Liuxing rubbed his hair, his expression a little tangled: "Even if you suddenly ask this..."
To be honest, Ji Liuxing was a little stumped. Since he was a child, he had been expected to grow up as a savior because of his extraordinary talent. It seemed that this was the natural course of his life.
But after he finished explaining this, Ji Yunding lowered his head: "If I had to do whatever I was told to do when I was born, I shouldn't be alive at all."
“…”
"Team leader, I'm sorry, I can't seem to find my oath." Ji Yunding was a little frustrated, "I don't know what I want to do."
Ji Liuxing stood up and walked in front of Ji Yunding. Rarely, Ji Liuxing did not smile.
"When you come back from your practice in the other dimension, if you perform well enough, I may be able to provide you with a direction."
Ji Yunding raised her head and met Ji Liuxing's gaze. For a moment, she felt a certain kind of...sadness in Ji Liuxing's eyes.
But immediately, Ji Liuxing laughed again: "But this is all for the future. It's getting late, you should go first. Don't worry, it's okay if you don't have to think of the vows today."
