Half an hour later, in an open space in the mountains and forests half an hour's drive away from Tianlian College.
"New actors are coming!"
As soon as Zhao Huo got out of the car, he started shouting loudly, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the forest.
"You're here."
Dong Chengling strode over. To facilitate movement, she had tied her long hair into a ponytail, which swayed like a swing as she walked. She walked in front of Ren Suo and did not make any other moves. Instead, she glanced at Ren Suo and asked, "Is your realm stable? Have you mastered any new spells?"
"I guess I've mastered it." Ren Suo smiled. Apart from the "gauze dress" which he tried to master by himself, he was still at the entry level. However, he used the small world game console to equip the most important "surgical thread" and "pain relief therapy", and his proficiency would soon reach 100%.
"Do you like listening to music?" Dong Chengling looked at the headphones hanging around his neck. Now Ren Suo was wearing a hat and headphones, and he looked like he was going on a trip.
"...Recently I like to practice while listening to music." Ren Suo scratched his face and found an excuse for himself: "This is what they call 'with my BGM, everything can be done with half the effort'."
Ren Suo still hadn't fully understood the effects of the "listening headphones", so he decided to wear them for a while to see how they worked.
"You are the healing monk of the academy, Mr. Ren Suo, right? I often hear Zhao Huo and Cheng Ling mention you."
Zhao Huo poked Ren Suo's waist. Ren Suo glared at him and looked at the newcomer.
The visitor was a stunningly handsome man, about the same height as Ren Suo, but his facial skin seemed to be as white as snow, and his features were soft. It was still August, the hottest time in Lianjiang, but he was still wearing trousers, a coat and a scarf. Although he had a smile on his face, it always made people feel that there was a great sadness hidden inside.
Overall evaluation: The male protagonist seems like he came out of an idol drama.
Zhao Huo introduced: "This is the leader of the university department's cultivation group, a third-level cultivator, Bai Ji, and the main person in charge of this stealing secrets plan."
At this time, Ren Suo heard a clear voice——
It’s Zhao Huo’s voice!
Zhao Huo's excited response: "Be careful, be careful of him!!"
As if enhanced by the "listening headphones", the echoes now carry strong personal emotions.
But even without Zhao Huo mentioning it, Ren Suo had already noticed this powerful cultivator.
Bai Ji looked at Ren Suo with interest and held out his hand: "Nice to meet you. You are Cheng Ling's friend, which means you are also my friend. There will definitely be many opportunities for communication in the future."
"Of course." Ren Suo stretched out his hand and shook hands with him in a friendly manner.
At the same time, a clear voice rang in Ren Suo's mind, but it was very different from the voice outside:
"Samsung key found."
"The key has been formed. The key and the player are in a friendly relationship. The key is in a sober state."
"The time to obtain the key is..."
The sound has become clearer, and it will indicate the star level of the key, and there is also an explanation of the "relationship with the player"...
Ren Suo, who suddenly started thinking because of the "earphones", did not let go of Bai Ji's hand. Bai Ji was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it in detail next time. You are short of time. I hope you can get into the role quickly. Cheng Ling, we should go over and put on makeup."
"good."
Watching Dong Chengling and Bai Ji leave, Zhao Huo put his arm around Ren Suo's shoulders and said with great sorrow, "Brother, I can only help you up to this point. You have to keep a close eye on him!"
"What?" Ren Suo looked confused. "I was the one who acted for you, so why are you helping me? Are you trying to shirk your responsibility? You can't lose the spiritual stones and subsidies we promised you."
"You're still thinking about spirit stones and subsidies!" Zhao Huo was really disappointed with Bai Ji, and pointed at him and said, "Look, is Bai Ji very popular with women?"
Ren Suo looked over and found that after Bai Ji returned, he was surrounded by a group of women, who seemed to be asking him questions. However, Bai Ji still had a smile on his face and discussed the issues with them in a friendly manner.
"It's almost the same as Tang Monk in the Kingdom of Women."
"Yes, then aren't you worried?" Zhao Huo asked.
"What should I worry about?" Ren Suo spread his hands. "No matter how handsome he is, it's none of my business. What's so great about his good looks?"
Zhao Huo opened his mouth but said nothing. The reason why he recommended Ren Suo to be the extra this time was not only because he was really short of people, but also because he cared about Ren Suo and hoped that Ren Suo would be alert and vigilant.
When Xiao Meng came to visit him a few days ago, he and Xiao Meng met Ren Suo on the way. After returning home, Zhao Huo talked to Xiao Meng about Ren Suo.
"That girl named Dong Chengling likes him, right?" Xiao Meng said, "Although I haven't seen her, she must have changed a lot in the past few months. She's getting prettier, right?"
Zhao Huo thought about it and said, "That's true. I remember Dong Chengling used to have short hair, but now she has long hair and is getting more and more beautiful."
"Right? Women dress up to please themselves. Wanting to see each other every day, wanting to let the person she likes eat the food she cooks every day... these are all obvious clues." Xiao Meng said: "Although Ren Suo has helped her, there are many ways to repay her. Choosing this one has already shown her attitude."
"By the way, I want to stay a few more days."
Zhao Huo was surprised: "Why? You've been here for several days, the work over there should really need you."
"What? Is my cooking not tasty? Do you want to chase me away?" Xiao Meng glanced at him and said, "Lianjiang is nice. I want to play here for a while longer."
"Then I'll help you book a hotel." Zhao Huo immediately took out his cell phone: "This place is too far from the city, it will be inconvenient for you to travel..."
Although he was almost beaten to the point of losing his memory by Xiao Meng, Zhao Huo still remembered one thing: the relationship between Dong Chengling and Ren Suo went beyond friendship!
Therefore, at the beginning of the plan, Zhao Huo had a bad feeling when he saw Bai Ji, who was a perfect match for women. Moreover, Bai Ji often had to communicate with Dong Chengling for work reasons, and he even particularly admired Dong Chengling. Therefore, Zhao Huo became anxious for Ren Suo, but he couldn't say it out loud - their communication was always within the scope of politeness. What if nothing happened? Wouldn't Zhao Huo be trying to sow discord?
So when there was a flaw in the plan, Zhao Huo immediately pulled Ren Suo over to remedy the situation, and by the way, let him see how powerful his potential enemy was!
However, Ren Suo didn't seem to care about Bai Ji. It was unknown whether he had full confidence in Dong Chengling or was really mentally retarded. But since Ren Suo was like this, Zhao Huo naturally couldn't be a villain and sow discord between them.
He didn't say anything more, but secretly kept an eye on Bai Jidong Chengling's movements for Ren Suo.
Zhao Huo took Ren Suo to the other side and introduced him to the villains.
"Ren Suo, here are the people who want to act as Taoyuan with us. Look, this is Xi Tianyi, the first-turn cultivator from the junior high school, Wei Changfeng, the second-turn cultivator from the high school... Liao Yonghai, the second-turn cultivator from the university, and Fu Sheng..."
These villains in Taoyuan, all wearing black hooded cloaks, all have ferocious looks. They all seem to have put on makeup, with sunken eye sockets, dry lips, narrow eye corners, and wrinkled faces, looking like monsters that would hide under a child's bed.
They looked at Zhao Huo and Ren Suo and greeted them one after another, but even their voices had changed, like the harsh sound of a ballpoint pen scratching on a blackboard.
Ren Suo was not from the teaching department at all, and he was very unfamiliar with the monks in the teaching group. There were seventeen people in charge of playing the role of Taoyuan monks, six of them were second-level monks, and eleven of them were first-level monks. Ren Suo observed their sitting postures and conversations and knew that at least half of them were former soldiers.
In Xuan Kingdom, soldiers were the first to come into contact with cultivation, then civil servants entered the path of cultivation, and finally the cultivation information was made public to the society. Ten cultivation academies were established to accommodate all the talented people in Xuan Kingdom.
Civil servant practitioners are directly assigned to various departments and units to maintain social order. There is a severe shortage of civil servant practitioners in various places, so the position of teachers in the practitioner academy can only continue to be filled by the best practitioners in the military.
Only if the second and third generation of monks grow up will it be possible to change this embarrassing situation.
After some communication and mutual flattery, Ren Suo discovered a problem: "Why are all our teachers men? Why are there so many female teachers on Bai Ji's side?"
There were not many female teachers in Tianlian Academy, but among those who were responsible for playing the role of Taoyuan monks, there was not a single female teacher. All of them were on Bai Ji's side!
Liao Yonghai, who looked fierce and had a scar on his face, smiled and said, "Have you read the script? Then you also know that we are the villains. We will use our combat power to intimidate the students and force them to flee. Then, they will try to steal the secrets while they are escaping."
"But forcing them to have a sense of crisis is different from making them despair. When we hunt down the students, there will be decent characters who will stop us - they will naturally be the teachers of Tianlian College. This is also part of the acting. We have been rehearsing for several days to ensure that it is exciting and thrilling."
"This will give students hope that 'we can be rescued' and won't push them to the limit. But at the same time, you have to keep chasing them and almost hit them every time, so that they have the expectation that 'as long as they can hold on, they will be rescued'. This will force out their potential."
"So, how can we make students have a strong sense of 'crisis' and at the same time make them have strong 'expectations'?" Liao Yonghai pointed to his face.
Ren Suo opened his mouth and said, "The good-looking ones are the good guys, and the ugly ones are the villains?"
"Almost." Zhao Huo nodded. "The most direct visual stimulation can instantly let them judge who is the enemy and who is the ally. Moreover, a group of heroic young ladies, in order to protect the students, fight against the villains who are like the lid of the coffin that has just been opened. Wouldn't it arouse the students' desire to resist?"
"I see..." Ren Suo nodded: "But why did even the doctor go over there?"
In addition to the female monks, Bai Ji also had several doctors in white coats. They should be the healing monks and medical staff who came to help.
"Isn't it natural to find someone good-looking to chat with?" Zhao Huo said: "I didn't answer just now, but what you said is right--"
“It’s amazing to have good looks.”
…
…
Time was running out, so Ren Suo quickly changed his clothes and put on makeup with the help of the staff. Zhao Huo also helped him explain the script:
“This is the mountain forest closest to Tianlian College, and it is also our stage.
There are a total of 20 students selected by the academy to participate in the Heaven Stealing Ceremony this time, all of whom are freshmen with the highest qualifications. In another hour or so, the bus they are riding will pass by here and suddenly break down. At that time, Brother Liao will appear and lift the hood of the bus, forcing the students to jump out of the bus and leave..."
"The physical fitness of us second-level monks is much stronger than that of ordinary people, almost inhuman. The pursuit mission will mainly rely on us second-level monks to complete." Zhao Huo took out a palm-sized display device and gave it to Ren Suo:
"This is a map. It allows you to know the exact location of all students. The red circle on the map represents the border. Our task is to prevent students from leaving the border and force them to escape or resist within the circle."
"They're actually cheating! How shameless!" Ren Suo put away the map: "But I like it."
"This is a list of students and their general information. Some of them have already awakened. Be careful if you encounter them."
Ren Suo took the list, took a quick look at it, and his eyes narrowed immediately.
"Dong Chengling, have you seen the list?" Ren Suo suddenly asked.
Zhao Huo was slightly startled: "Of course she has seen it."
"What other protection measures do you have for the students?" Ren Suo asked. "If there is a serious accident, such as a student suffering from a broken limb or something like that, or if we are too harsh, relying solely on the healing monks outside the field will be useless."
"How did you know?" Zhao Huo asked in surprise, "Yes, every student has a protective spell. When the accumulated damage reaches a critical point, or when a student is suddenly seriously injured, the protective spell will automatically activate to form a protective shield to protect the student. At the same time, the student will turn into a yellow dot on the map, and a healing monk will come to take the student away from the battlefield."
"This protective spell has been tested many times. Ordinary flesh wounds that can be instantly healed by healing spells are fine, but all injuries that can cause disability or break bones will be automatically activated. Otherwise, the academy would not dare to implement this plan."
Ren Suo finally put his mind at ease. Since the academy had prepared everything and Dong Chengling had approved of the plan, there was no need for Ren Suo to worry too much.
There are acquaintances between him and Dong Chengling among the experimental students. If this project is dangerous, Dong Chengling will not only not participate in it, but will even try her best to stop it - that's the kind of person she is.
Since Dong Chengling also agreed, Ren Suo was willing to trust her judgment. After all, Dong Chengling was professional in cultivation and teaching.
And Ren Suo has also joined this plan, so if any accidents really happen, Ren Suo can remedy the situation immediately.
Even if it was too late, Ren Suo could use "Clear Spring Flowing Sound" to summon Zhao Zili to save the world - Zhao Zili was originally a priest who would pop up from time to time, so it was natural for him to suddenly appear to save people. At worst, he could use up the time of "Clear Spring Flowing Sound", let Zhao Zili put on a full show, and take the subway to the city center for free medical treatment.
Having made up his mind, Ren Suo changed his clothes and put on makeup. When he looked in the mirror, he couldn't recognize himself, especially his face. He looked like a zombie who found that the coffin lid was nailed shut and had to smash the lid with his face. He looked ugly, fierce and blurry.
Although Ren Suo insisted on wearing headphones, others didn't mind - just as players would not be afraid because the zombies in the game were wearing nurse uniforms, students would not be able to muster up courage just because the zombie Ren Suo was wearing headphones, unless the zombie Ren Suo performed the Platinum Disco dance on the spot.
There was still half an hour before the start. Ren Suo had finally finished putting on makeup and clothes, and was clear about his mission. He hid aside and checked his phone to see if Ren Neiser had posted any videos.
"Do you have time?"
Ren Suo turned around and saw that it was Bai Ji. He shrugged and said, "What's the matter?"
Bai Ji smiled and said, "I have heard a lot about you from Cheng Ling. About how you risked your life to help her awaken, about how you opened the space-time gate with her, about how you risked your life to save her students, about how you were willing to enter the secret realm to treat the monk Changjiang..."
"Those are just some of my insignificant achievements." Ren Suo waved his hand.
You know, he is an almighty being who once fought his way through a banquet to save a girl, slayed demons to continue his family, destroyed monsters to purify secret realms, and opened up spiritual treasures to upgrade the world...although it was in a game.
But he is a worldly-wise man, so why would he be happy just because of other people's praise?
Seeing Ren Suo's unconcealed joy, Bai Ji smiled slightly, like the first melting of spring snow: "So, are you, like me..."
"...Want to commit suicide as soon as possible and escape from this painful world?"
Ren Suo was shocked by Bai Ji's sudden change of heart. After a while, he asked, "Why do you think so?"
"Because you have been seeking death." Bai Ji put his hand on his shoulder and said, "If you are not seeking death, why would you put yourself in so many dangers?"
"I'm actually the same as you. I've also tried to commit suicide on purpose, but every time I was inspired by the desire to survive, which has led to me becoming stronger and stronger. Now I've been transferred to be a teacher, and I don't know if I'll have another chance to commit suicide in the future..."
"You're the same as me," Bai Ji looked at Ren Suo with sincere eyes, "You're also courting death with your life, right? It's just that your IQ and qualifications are not as good as mine, but we are the same."
"Negative emotions from Ren Suo, +999"
"We are different." Ren Suo shook off his hand and said, "Why would I want to die for no reason? I want to live longer and witness the arrival of the golden age of cultivation."
"The future is only doomsday, don't you understand?" Bai Ji said with a sad face:
"Now, supernatural forces have appeared, foreign gods have also appeared, and many superpowers like you and me have appeared in our human race. Although society is still stable now, in a few years, ten years, or twenty years, there will be more and more superpowers, individualism will surpass collectivism, and terrifying existences that are above the human world will also intervene in the earth. Sooner or later, unstoppable disasters and wars involving all countries will occur, and ultimately the earth will inevitably be destroyed."
"Now is the last twilight of humanity. If we can die as heroes at this time and leave this painful world with beautiful expectations for humanity, wouldn't it be better? If humanity is compared to a day, we are now in the afternoon. Do we have to watch the dusk come, or even the night fall, and die in despair and pain?"
Bai Ji's low voice echoed: "This world is going to end, right?"
Ren Suo was so shocked by Bai Ji's negative speculation that he couldn't think of anything to say for a while. After a while, he said, "The earth has existed for 4.6 billion years. Animals evolved for 1 billion years before humans appeared. Humans evolved for another 14 million years. Only in recent years have iPhones appeared. You said the world is going to end. The culprit is either Samsung or Huawei?"
Ren Suo patted Bai Ji on the shoulder: "You said it is afternoon, but I said it is dawn. I believe that my whole life has been spent watching the human sky gradually brighten up."8)
