Negative energy and customs settlement
The two people with incredibly high communication efficiency quickly exchanged information with each other. Then Ji Liuxing thought about it and leaned on the railing.
"What should I do...I might as well just jump."
After being caught by Ji Yunding, Ji Liuxing seemed to be temporarily unable to pretend anymore and looked a little more dejected than usual.
"Team Leader, if you keep doing this, I'll start to worry that you'll quietly die somewhere I can't see."
Ji Yunding felt helpless, but he didn't know how to comfort her, so he just started talking about business.
"So, my distorted memory is 'Apocalypse'?"
This situation is not uncommon, but people with poor memory may fool themselves and think that they remembered it wrong.
Currently, researchers who know about the apocalypse phenomenon generally believe that it is the remnant of memories from past lives. According to Ji Liuxing, the memories he obtained through the apocalypse were completely different from his own personality, so he could recognize it immediately.
"Yes, but it's rare to be able to tell a complete story out of thin air. Usually they are just thoughts or fragments of ideas."
As Ji Liuxing spoke, he looked at the cell phone that Ji Yunding handed over, which was said to have been dug out from the ground.
"The investigation logs have all been cleared... But sometimes I wonder, can reincarnation really be considered the same person?"
Reincarnation is like the same seed - the soul - taking root and sprouting under different conditions, and the trees that grow are all different from branches to leaves.
So, can it really be considered the same tree as the original one?
Ji Yunding had little interest in philosophical issues, but after observing for a while, he noticed something wrong - Ji Liuxing seemed to be very familiar with this application classification method and could quickly find the application he needed.
"Team Leader, is this actually your phone?"
Ji Liuxing paused while swiping his phone, and simply admitted, "That should be it."
"From the photo, I feel like we didn't have a very good relationship in our previous life. Why did you set this as your screensaver?"
Why? Ji Liuxing didn't know why he had such a personality in his previous life. He acted like a little brat in his secret crush and it also caused him trouble.
"It's my last life, I don't know. If I have to explain..." Ji Liuxing thought for a while and quickly made up an excuse, "To urge myself to play with my phone less?"
"And the password is my birthday."
"To annoy you."
Ji Yunding thought about it and nodded, feeling that it made some sense.
"That's too much."
"I don't want to either. I can't control what happened in my previous life." Ji Liuxing said, and took out his mobile phone with his free right hand, turned on the camera and handed it to Ji Yunding. "Come to think of it, we don't have a photo together. Can I?"
Investigators with more experience like to take photos as souvenirs. Considering that they don’t know when they will die, it’s always a good idea to keep a memory.
Ji Yunding didn't mind, but she didn't know what pose to make for the photo. After thinking for a while, she moved closer to Ji Liuxing, raised the phone in front of her, and made a "yeah" gesture with some hesitation.
It seems like this is what other people do when taking photos?
Seeing Ji Yunding's obvious lack of experience, Ji Liuxing smiled and sighed, then made the same gesture, keeping a polite distance and waiting for Ji Yunding to press the camera button.
"I won't set it as a screen saver this time, don't worry."
As he spoke, Ji Liuxing brought his left hand, which was holding the other phone, in front of him, took a glance at it, and quickly pressed the power button.
"Team leader, I noticed that you just unlocked something with your left hand behind your back."
"Really? Sorry, something personal."
"Give me back my spoils." Ji Yunding was too lazy to try to pry anything out of Ji Liuxing, so he just reached out and took the phone back.
The interface remains on the black box app - different from the black box of an airplane, this one is generally used by investigators to record last words.
Well, it seems that taking a look at one's own last words is indeed a private matter?
"It didn't contain anything important, just some handovers and a few random sentences. It was a bit embarrassing."
Ji Liuxing casually explained a few words, and after downplaying it, he turned the topic to another equally serious issue.
Negative energy.
Ji Yunding watched Ji Liuxing take off his gloves. The black aura gradually gathered around his palms. His expression showed a little pain for a moment, and then returned to normal. He turned his hand down and slightly extended it forward.
"Similar to the way of using psionic energy, try a slight touch. Be careful, it hurts."
Hearing Ji Liuxing say this, Ji Yunding curiously hovered his hand above his hand.
"Are you okay?"
"Not very good. It feels like holding the blade of a knife and pounding garlic with the handle."
The two people were communicating as usual, and those who didn't know might think they were playing some elementary school game like the palm-and-back game.
“The level of pain caused by negative energy is not subjective, so pain can be seen as an indicator of the use of negative energy.”
As he spoke, Ji Liuxing threw his hand to the side, and it was as if a bomb had exploded over there, with the air rolling up with an explosive airflow.
"Pain of this level or above, mixed with negative energy and psychic energy, can cause an explosion. This is the first watershed."
"And the second one?"
"Prepare yourself mentally."
This time, Ji Liuxing took a deep breath. The black air lingering around his hands became thicker, and some sweat appeared on his forehead.
Ji Yunding stretched out his hand again, and couldn't help but take a breath and frowned.
The same pain flowed between the two of them. After a brief silence, Ji Yunding remembered this standard and commented: "It's like putting your hand into a meat grinder."
"It's amazing that you're still in the mood to joke." Ji Liuxing exclaimed, then walked towards the railing and touched it lightly. In an instant, a section of the railing disappeared out of thin air.
There were no traces, no sounds, as if it had always been incomplete.
"Above this level, space distortion can be caused, which means plane movement. Further adjustments can be made based on the size of the coverage area.
By the way, if you are trapped in a deadly situation in a ghost story, you can escape this way. "
"What's the price?"
"That ghost story is your natural enemy in this life. If you enter it again, you will definitely die, but it is better than dying directly."
Ji Liuxing withdrew his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled again.
"You said you wanted to be without weaknesses, but it wouldn't hurt to know a little."
Ji Yunding waved his hand, experimented for a while, and successfully blew away the door to the rooftop.
"Is it fun?"
"It's quite fun, just like setting off firecrackers, but you hold it in your hand and blow other people away."
"Why do you have so many weird metaphors?"
Ji Liuxing found it a little funny, then seemed a little tired, so he sat down on the spot, leaned against the fence and let out a long breath.
"This mess...I'll have to trouble you in the future."
"A mess? A group?"
"Not only that, there is the civilized world, the aristocratic families, a group of internal and external conflicts... and some problems you will encounter."
Ji Liuxing turned his head to look at Ji Yunding, with a slightly worried look on his face.
"In fact, I have researched a method that can open the channel without my help, but..."
"Was it a great cost?"
"A person who can use bipolar energy is a normal circuit with resistance, while a normal human is probably equivalent to a circuit without resistance that will short-circuit. If you insist on passing electricity... do you teach this in compulsory education?"
"Will it...short-circuit and burn out?"
Ji Yunding spoke with some uncertainty, not because he couldn't remember the high school knowledge, but because he felt what Ji Liuxing wanted to say.
"If we want to do it on the scale we have now, we need at least 3,000 people as carriers at a time, and not a single one will survive. Probably, the number of people in a high school. I went to a high school to give a presentation before, and I think a teacher told me the number of people.
When I was sitting on the stage, I looked at the students below in a daze and thought, why do so many people need to attend... I should just hold on a little longer."
Ji Liuxing looked up at the sky, his voice getting lower and lower.
"It has not been made public yet because our country has rejected this plan, but the international community has been secretly urging us to make it public. After I die, the news that our country has this method will probably be maliciously disclosed.
What will happen then... It has nothing to do with me. I just want to ask, do you really want to take over this glamorous mess of being a 'Team Leader'?"
"I thought you would persuade me to take it."
Ji Yunding squatted down, tilted his head, and looked at Ji Liuxing with some doubt.
"You taught me, didn't you, so that I could take over your responsibility for this world?"
"I have considered this, but... just treat it as me talking nonsense. I don't know whether I want the world to get better or to be destroyed. I just want it to end. I care less and less about the outcome."
Ji Liuxing ruffled his golden hair, looking very distressed, and finally sighed.
"I am more worried that you will be coerced in the future. After you see the public opinion, the war, and the possible three thousand and three thousand lives, can you bear not to say that you can open the channel?
I have also thought about not teaching you at all. At least you don’t have to face these troubles, and you don’t have to bear any responsibilities or psychological pressure. But I feel that this is not appropriate.
After all, you already know that you can use negative energy, and even if I don't teach you, you may be tormented by this in the future.
Finally I figured it out. Why should I make decisions for you? Anyway, knowing how to choose is better than not knowing how to choose. If you want to know, I will tell you. "
Ji Yunding could understand what Ji Liuxing was saying, but he was becoming more and more confused.
"Team Leader, I want to hear your position."
When it comes to things that he can't figure out, Ji Yunding always adheres to the principle that there is a mouth under your nose and asks directly.
"I understand that you're worried about me, but I don't understand what you're thinking. You keep talking about me."
"Me? I'll be gone by then, so it doesn't matter. If I must say something... I hope you can do what you want. In my opinion, whatever you choose is not wrong."
Ji Liuxing thought carefully for a while, looked at Ji Yunding and asked,
"I don't know if I could remember someone saying 'You're not wrong' or 'You don't have to do this' when I'm being dragged down by the whole world, what would happen? Maybe it would be better?"
People can no longer speak after they die, so Ji Liuxing has always believed that if you have anything to say while you are alive, you should say it as soon as possible.
People who live long always feel that they will have the opportunity to speak in the future, but Ji Liuxing doesn't have this idea, so he is used to saying some compliments to express his appreciation while maintaining a sense of propriety.
“…”
Ji Yunding was silent for a while. She was thinking, what would happen if Ji Liuxing knew that she was weird? He would regret it.
However, Ji Yunding suddenly had a question.
"Team leader, is your oath ability actually very weak?"
Ji Yunding hesitated for a moment and asked,
"The Black Oath part relies heavily on the Oath Warlock's ego."
"Ah, you've been discovered. I'll add 100 points to your score as hush money... but since you've applied for self-study, there's nothing I can do."
Ji Liuxing admitted it while jokingly saying,
"I can't tell whether I really hate weirdness that much or whether I need this kind of hatred. But I know that without this hatred, I would have collapsed a long time ago."
After all, after peeling off the empty shell of Ji Liuxing, only this little bit of himself is left.
"Team Leader, do you remember I said I wanted to save you?"
Until now, Ji Yunding still thinks this way.
"I always feel uncomfortable when you give up the strongest person after your death. Besides, I don't want you to die."
Ji Liuxing's confession, which sounded like a will, made Ji Yunding feel indescribably irritated.
"Remember, if you succeed, I'll bring you tea and water. But it never hurts to be more prepared."
Ji Liuxing stood up and tentatively stretched out his hand in the direction of Ji Yunding, observing whether she had any intention of rejecting him.
"Okay, we've been talking for almost an hour. You suddenly disappeared four hours ago, which scared the three of them."
Ji Yunding held Ji Liuxing's wrist to lend him strength to stand up and sighed.
"The game ends when you clear it, but life cannot be cleared..."
"Yeah, it would be a bit disappointing if you climbed to the top of a mountain and found it was all bare." Ji Liuxing thought for a moment, then turned his head and asked Ji Yunding, "By the way, if it was a game, what kind of reward would you want for completing the game?"
"Customs clearance settlement screen."
"So pragmatic. So, if you were to open a treasure chest, what would you hope to find?"
"Gold coins, gems, and the like, generally speaking."
Ji Yunding thought about it and thought that all treasure chests mentioned should be of this type.
"Right now, I want to finish the target immediately and go back to sleep."
Although it seemed that only four hours had passed here, Ji Yunding felt that five or six days had passed.
“This wish will soon come true.”
Ji Liuxing pointed at the students who were standing not far away and seemed to have no idea what to do.
"From now on, the spread of the ghost story has completely stopped. Although we still need to work hard to completely eliminate this ghost story, the research team's goal is to only prevent its spread."
In fact, people from other groups had already left, and only one group was still working overtime while waiting for Ji Yunding.
Ji Yunding had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly thought of another thing.
“So, I get a ton of money?”
"Yeah. Congratulations, new billionaire."
After walking out of the range of the ghost story, Ji Yunding looked at the scorched earth on the ground, and then at the ruins of the bombed buildings nearby.
There is even some residual radiation here, and investigators have to wear radiation protection equipment before entering and after leaving the ghost story. Even if the ghost story has hope of being solved, the scars on the land have not yet healed.
Ji Yunding hasn't figured out what to do next, but he'll have a good sleep first, and then prepare for the CET-6 exam. He'll also have to attend a high school reunion in a week.
