Who doesn’t like Ji Yunding?
Ji Yunding, who had just entered the break, wiped his forehead to shake off the sweat that was about to drip down the tips of his hair, and then saw Tang Yun walking towards him from a distance.
"Sister Tang, what's wrong?"
"Ji Liuxing said that he had something to do today, and he can't take you to the family for communication for another two days. He asked me to help convey his apologies."
The affairs of the Black Oath Warlocks cannot be told to outsiders. Ji Liuxing and Ji Yunding had already agreed on the same statement early on - if anyone asks, just say that they went to their family and communicated with other Oath Warlocks.
Ji Yunding tilted his head in confusion: "The team leader didn't schedule a shift today, right?"
"He just had surgery and said he had some mental problems."
Even Tang Yun, who was known for his strictness, looked a little reluctant when he talked about this matter.
"Almost all the blood vessels in his body have been replaced, so it's not his fault."
"…blood vessel replacement?"
"Literally, through modern medicine, his blood vessels were removed in sections, and then he used his spiritual power to heal himself, so that most of the blood vessels in his body that can be replaced were replaced little by little."
Using spiritual power requires a high level of mental concentration, which means that not only can anesthetics not be used, but Ji Liuxing is also required to focus all his attention on the injury.
In other words, this is an operation more cruel than torture.
Ji Yunding frowned, looked at Tang Yun who was sitting next to her, and asked, "Sister Tang, are you familiar with the team leader?"
"I'm quite familiar with him. In terms of kinship, he is my non-blood nephew; in other terms, he is a child I trained like you."
"Then do you know why the team leader became like this?"
"What do you mean by 'this way'?"
"I'm not sure. The team leader is a very strange person."
Ji Yunding paused, searching for the right words in distress.
"He seems to do things just because it's 'right', but why is he doing it? I don't understand what he's thinking."
Is it true that there would be no resistance at all to such a painful thing?
Tang Yun thought about it, then sighed: "It's better to let him answer it himself, you can ask. By the way, I personally want to ask, what do you think of Ji Liuxing?"
"It's hard to say. I don't know him."
Ji Yunding shook his head and did not comment.
"I don't even know why the team leader hates weird things so much. If I have to say, he's a nice guy, but I just can't understand his logic."
As he studied, Ji Yunding had gained some understanding of common sense - the oath of an oath warlock was engraved in his bones, and the disgust that could be written into the oath could not be explained by ordinary "hate".
"…That's it." Tang Yun sighed again, "Do you know about the major accident that happened when Ji Liuxing was leading a team when he was thirteen years old?"
Seeing Ji Yunding nodded, Tang Yun told Ji Yunding some details that were not allowed to be made public due to public opinion considerations.
It was a rescue operation for a strange weather situation. The deputy captain and his team members trapped Ji Liuxing in a formation and then took unauthorized action.
Ji Liuxing could actually break free from the formation on the spot, but he sat inside and reflected for a while. He felt that maybe he didn't trust his teammates enough, so after coming out, he went in the opposite direction to rescue those people.
When he looked back, he found that his teammates had all turned into monsters. Ji Liuxing listened to the crying of the monsters and vowed to use his last consciousness to cooperate with the rescue operation, but then he softened his heart and did not do it.
In the end, it was those investigators who turned into weirdos and killed all the citizens that Ji Liuxing had saved - old men, children, women and men. It was unknown how many hundreds or thousands of people there were, and there was not a single living person left on several streets.
"Afterwards, some citizens turned into monsters, and Ji Liuxing had to kill them again. The new monsters' consciousness is ignorant to begin with, and they may not even know that they have turned into monsters. Ji Liuxing almost went crazy after he came back."
At this point, Tang Yun's tone suddenly changed from sighing to somewhat helpless.
"I cried during training, and I cried when I was on a mission. I cried for five or six days. It didn't affect anything, so I just kept crying.
He heard that in order to cover up public opinion, those unethical investigators were also buried in the mausoleum of investigators who died in the line of duty. He cried and dug up the graves of those investigators with a shovel, dragged them outside the mausoleum gate and buried them.
"……ah?"
Ji Yunding felt a certain empathy for the first part, but he was caught off guard and stunned when he heard the last sentence.
What can I say... He was a good person and was buried.
"Ji Liuxing is only a college student in your area, so don't think he's special. It's just that you're younger than him, so he pretends to be a team leader in front of you. Judging from your reaction, he should be doing a good job."
Tang Yun looked at Ji Yunding's expression and added,
"The amount of crazy things he's done is not much more than the average, but not too little either."
At this point, the bell rang, and the break was over. Ji Yunding took a sip of water from the water bottle, moistened his throat and lips, and spit it out again, then stood up and continued training.
A few days later, Ji Liu walked to the training ground and saw that the training had not yet ended, so he greeted Tang Yun first.
Tang Zhuan turned his head and looked at him: "Are you recovered?"
"That's about right. It's nothing serious. It's just that the stimulation lasted too long and caused some problems with the nerves, which couldn't stop releasing pain signals. It's the same as wearing a watch for a long time, and you always feel like there's something on your wrist even when you're not wearing it."
Ji Liuxing answered while looking at Ji Yunding who was practicing on the training ground.
"Student Ji Yunding has found a sparring partner? He looks familiar."
"The one from your family before, Ji Shisan."
"Who?" Ji Liuxing couldn't remember for a moment. He looked at the two people fighting on the training ground in confusion for a while, then nodded, "Oh, you are blind."
Don't hold grudges, but don't remember people either.
"After a fight, I fell in love with Ji Yunding and followed him whenever I had the chance."
This situation is actually not uncommon among people from aristocratic families. After all, fighting is an exciting and heart-pounding thing, let alone a life-and-death fight.
"Is that so...what did classmate Ji Yunding say?" Ji Liuxing's tone paused slightly, and there was nothing unusual.
Tang Yun stared at Ji Liuxing for a while, then asked tentatively: "I thought your reaction would be bigger."
"I can control everything, but I can't control the relationship between team members."
Ji Liuxing didn't directly respond to Tang Yun's question, but just spread his hands. Seeing Ji Liuxing's evasive attitude, Tang Yun sighed and changed the subject.
"There are still more than ten minutes before the end, and you actually missed the mark this time."
"I'm on surgery leave these days, so I don't have much to do. Come over early to see our whole group's Hope training."
"You like this kid very much?"
"Who doesn't like classmate Ji Yunding?"
Realizing that Tang Yun must want to know something, Ji Liuxing smiled helplessly and threw back all the questions.
"Sister Tang, please stop asking me questions. Everyone in our group likes her, you like her too, and her friends like her too..."
"Okay, stop pretending."
Tang Yun knew Ji Liuxing's personality, and it was obvious from the way he spoke.
Ji Liuxing leaned against the wall and looked at the training ground. He shook his head and lowered his voice: "I don't know either, but it doesn't matter whether I like her or not, because I will never let her know."
Seeing that Tang Yun was a little surprised, Ji Liuxing sighed and began to explain.
"I am also her boss. Being liked by her boss will cause all kinds of troubles no matter what. It's not appropriate.
Besides, the girl's life has just begun. If nothing unexpected happens, I won't live long enough to see her graduate from college, so there's no need to make things difficult for her."
In fact, Ji Liuxing was not sure whether his situation could be described as "liking" him. He just went from being curious and admiring to being somewhat concerned. But naturally, by the time he realized it, he could no longer take his attention away.
With amazing vitality and a firm self, he spoke with such clarity that it shocked people's hearts, he did a lot of scary things politely and courteously, and he looked at the world innocently and without criticism.
In many people's minds, equality only exists above themselves, but Ji Yunding does not put anyone above her, nor does she put anyone below her. When she is watching, a perceptive person can tell that she is just curiously observing another equal individual without any prejudice.
Like a mirror, like jade, like the clear surface of a lake, like the pure eyes of a newborn baby.
"I just want to live until she challenges me, so that she won't have any regrets in her life." Ji Liuxing whispered to himself, lowered his head and smiled, "I have such thoughts, so I guess I like her."
He couldn't figure it out, but it didn't matter, because he no longer had the qualifications to pursue others.
There is nothing wrong with maintaining a proper distance and making Ji Yunding's journey smoother within the scope of his duties as a team leader and senior.
"Sister Tang, please keep this secret for me. Please tell me where you noticed the problem so I can pay more attention to it."
As he spoke, Ji Liuxing raised his head. With a gentle smile, his naturally upturned eyes became less aggressive.
"If you can't take responsibility to the end, you shouldn't start it. I don't want to become someone who says one thing and does another."
After Ji Yunding finished practicing, she came over to say hello as usual, but she always felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. Before she could notice anything, Ji Shisan followed and looked at Ji Liuxing with an unfriendly look.
Ji Liuxing tilted his head, narrowed his eyes and smiled again: "Hello, you pureblood who is not as good-looking as me and can't beat me."
If you want to hide something from Ji Yunding, you must be extremely alert and keep her eyes away at all times.
Seeing that Ji Yunding's attention was successfully diverted, Tang Yun immediately stopped the dispute that was about to break out: "Okay, go do what you need to do, don't argue here."
Ji Liuxing shrugged, turned around and walked towards the north district with Ji Yunding. As they walked, they brought up the next topic: "Student Ji Yunding, are you interested in space jumps? Anywhere doors or something like that?"
"Space jump?"
"The coordinates of the alternate plane and the real plane are not one-to-one corresponding, so as long as the calculation is correct, the coordinate difference between the two planes can be used to achieve space jump."
Ji Liuxing explained as he flipped through his notebook to find the coordinates he had written down before. Then, he stood in an open space and took out a piece of transparent thread.
"Student Ji Yunding, tie this end around your wrist."
Ji Yunding took it, tied it, and asked curiously, "Pulse diagnosis with hanging thread?"
"In terms of function, it's about the same. In order to prevent you from being dragged into the weirdness of the other dimension, I need to synchronize my energy field with yours."
Synchronization is the advance preparation for multiplayer missions, ensuring that all investigators can be pulled into the strange story at the same time.
"In this way, as long as the power of the weirdness is not enough to drag me into the weird story, it will not be able to drag you into the weird story either. It can be regarded as a reverse application."
After listening to Ji Liuxing's explanation, Ji Yunding pulled the silk thread, watched Ji Liuxing take off his gloves, turned his wrist and tied the other end far away on his wrist, but still had some doubts: "Does it have to pass through the thread?"
"Of course you can touch them directly, but this path is quite strange and you need to stay in sync for a long time."
"So, it is to facilitate action to deal with special situations?" Ji Yunding thought about it and came up with a reason from a practical point of view.
"Nothing special will happen, don't worry."
It’s just that Ji Liuxing himself is not good at interacting with the opposite sex, and he doesn’t want to show his shyness - after all, his blood vessels have been replaced, and he can’t hide the redness of his ears anymore.
