Chapter 78
Despite being rejected bluntly by Feng Jihan, Cen Xun was not discouraged at all and calmly threw out the bait.
Don't Keep Bad Birds: [Really? In exchange, I can agree to one condition.]
When Feng Jihan saw this message, he doubted its authenticity.
Did the evil yarn ball lie again today? [So generous? What if I asked you not to kill? Would you agree?]
Don't raise bad birds: [Agree.]
Don't raise evil birds: [But I only promise not to kill one or two people you specify.]
Don't raise bad birds: [But if you let me help you kill someone, I can increase the number of people depending on the situation.]
Did the evil yarn ball deceive people again today? [ ]
Did the evil yarn ball cheat again today? [No sincerity, I'm going to sleep. ]
Don't Raise Bad Birds: [So, what does it mean to be sincere? ]
Is the evil yarn ball lying again today? [Tell me what you want to trade first, so I can judge how much sincerity you can get in return.]
Cen Xun was straightforward and quickly handed over a corner of the map, then asked: [What's here?]
【To be precise, it's what was here before. 】
Feng Jihan sat up, turned on the bedside lamp, enlarged the small map image, and frowned slightly.
Did the evil yarn ball cheat again today? [Why are you asking about this place suddenly? ]
Don't raise bad birds: [So, you know this place? ]
Did the evil yarn ball cheat again today? [I know.]
Don't raise bad birds: [Can you say that? ]
Did the evil yarn ball lie again today? [I can tell you, but you have to tell me why you suddenly want to investigate this place.]
Don't raise bad birds: [You should know that Nightmare University is right by the sea.]
Did the evil yarn ball deceive people again today? [So? ]
Don't Raise Evil Birds: [This strange domain launched a missile at me today. I'm very upset and plan to destroy it.]
Feng Jihan looked at this message and was speechless for a moment: [Why did this place suddenly launch missiles at you? Did you go to provoke the Ghost Domain? ]
Don't Keep Bad Birds: [Is this considered victim blaming? ]
Feng Jihan: "Other victims may be innocent, but there is a very high probability that you, the victim, are really guilty."
Don't Raise Bad Birds: [I've finished explaining my reasons. How about it? Do you agree to the deal?]
Feng Jihan thought for a moment and typed slowly.
[To prevent you from going back on your word, why not sign a contract in black and white?]
Don't raise bad birds: [Come over and discuss in detail.]
Okay, I can’t sleep anyway, so I’ll just let it go.
Feng Jihan thought that this time he would appear in Cen Xun's bedroom like the previous times, so he simply wrapped a coat over his pajamas and went over. Unexpectedly, Cen Xun chose the pavilion by the lake as the location this time. As soon as he landed, he saw the pavilion without any obstruction and was stunned for a moment.
Cen Xun sat on the stone bench and looked at him, smiling: "The pajamas are quite cute."
Feng Jihan stared at the beach-style floral shirt he was wearing with dead fish eyes and said slowly: "Your clothes are also quite unique."
Cen Xun was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and pushed a contract to him: "Make some conditions."
Feng Jihan's expression remained unchanged: "My condition is that the port in your Nightmare University can only be used by you, and cannot be provided to monsters outside of Nightmare University."
As if he hadn't expected him to propose such a condition, Cen Xun raised his eyebrows slightly: "Have you realized that you can't stop me, so you give up on yourself?"
Feng Jihan said calmly, "Even if I asked you to destroy it, you definitely wouldn't agree. It's better to minimize the losses. Dealing with you alone is troublesome enough. I don't want to deal with other monsters as well."
Cen Xun smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I also understand the principle of too many monks and too little porridge."
In fact, even if Feng Jihan did not make this request, Cen Xun would not allow monsters other than those from Nightmare University to enter the real world.
All the humans in the real world are his food reserves. How could Cen Xun allow monsters from outside the school to divide up his food reserves?
Besides, why should he give the port that he had fought so hard to get to others for free?
Just for these two reasons, Cen Xun would never allow his competitors to use Nightmare University's port.
"make a deal."
After reaching a consensus, the two signed the contract.
Feng Jihan confirmed that the contract was effective, and then he told Cen Xun the news he wanted to know: "The place you mentioned was once a prison."
Cen Xun picked out the key words: "Is it?"
Feng Jihan said, "Its main purpose is to detain some evil monsters. We usually call it the Heretic Internment Center. In order to prevent heretics from escaping, the Heretic Bureau built a base above it to facilitate the timely capture of escaped heretics."
Cen Xun: "Only missiles?"
"Of course, ordinary missiles won't work. The missiles used at the base are special missiles from the research institute."
Feng Jihan got up from the bed. His long hair didn't look as smooth as usual, and it was a little frizzy. Feng Jihan casually smoothed it with his fingers: "Anyway, after the nightmare world was created, all the monsters in this prison should have been transferred to the nightmare world."
After Feng Jihan said this, Cen Xun finally understood what the criminals in Chiyuan Prison were like.
After thinking for a few seconds, Cen Xun raised a reasonable question: "If the only monsters in that strange domain are these once imprisoned monsters, do they have the technology to accurately launch missiles at me?"
Feng Jihan was silent for a while, and then he whispered after a long while: "Perhaps the warriors who once held on there have also become monsters."
Cen Xun looked at him with his silver eyelashes drooping, as if he was a little lost, and said expressionlessly: "You started it again."
Feng Jihan: "Start what?"
"I told you not to feel sad for others."
Feng Jihan said helplessly: "I'm not a robot. I can complete whatever you say 100%."
"Why don't I go with you?" Feng Jihan turned his face away and changed the subject abruptly: "There are many of your old enemies in there. What if they still know you?"
"You can't go." Cen Xun said calmly, "The entry conditions of that mysterious domain are very strict."
"Tell me, who are they?"
Feng Jihan looked at him doubtfully.
"If they don't bother me, I can reluctantly spare their lives." Cen Xun said expressionlessly, "Living in a nightmare world is also a different kind of survival."
Feng Jihan looked at him, his Adam's apple rolling: "Really?"
Cen Xun said in a deep voice, "Only this once, and only if it doesn't bother me."
Feng Jihan's glazed pupils showed a hint of smile, making them shine brightly. "Thank you, Teacher Cen."
Cen Xun looked into his eyes and asked, "Is it just a verbal thank you?"
Feng Jihan: "How do you want to thank me?"
Cen Xun was silent for a while. When Feng Jihan thought he was going to make some shameful demands, he said, "Forget it. Go away."
Feng Jihan was stunned for a moment.
He stood up and asked again, "You really don't need any other thanks?"
Cen Xun didn't look at him. He turned sideways and looked at Yuanhu Lake in the night. He said calmly, "You can go now."
Cen Xun just suddenly felt bored.
He was always the one who took the initiative to propose such conditions, as if he really coveted Feng Jihan's body.
He obviously likes her, so why can Feng Jihan pretend to be so restrained and sober, as if he had no choice but to do it the whole time, without any selfish desires involved.
If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. You'll spoil him.
The breathing sound behind him disappeared. Cen Xun turned around after a while and saw the slightly burnt feathers left on the ground.
He picked up the contracts on the table, crumpled them into a ball, and threw them into Yuan Lake. The ball of paper fell on the water without making any sound.
After a while, a strange student poked his head out from the bottom of the water, picked up the paper ball floating on the water, and handed it to Cen Xun.
Cen Xun: "No, throw it away."
The strange student held a ball of paper that the principal accidentally dropped into the river, and was determined to return it to the principal.
Cen Xun took the paper ball and placed it on the table. The strange student sank back to the bottom of the lake contentedly.
There was a sound of approaching footsteps, and Tong Ming walked into the pavilion bathed in the moonlight. He looked at Cen Xun and didn't speak for a long time.
Cen Xun: "Just say whatever you want to say."
Tong Ming frowned deeply, and the joking expression on his face disappeared: "If you are willing to not kill Gui for him today, you will be willing to not eat people for him tomorrow."
Cen Xun: "I'm not that crazy yet, just this once."
Tong Ming: "So you also know that this kind of behavior is called being confused."
"I don't know what kind of magic potion he poured into you," Tong Ming said slowly, "Brother, I don't understand what kind of feelings make you unable to let him go."
Cen Xun: "I can't explain it."
Tong Ming plopped down next to Cen Xun and said earnestly, "There are billions of people in the real world, and you insist on hanging yourself on a tree? If you want to have fun, why not pick some knowledgeable and interesting people to serve you?"
"But no one is him." Cen Xun unfolded the crumpled contract. "Even if two contracts were originally identical, if they were crumpled at the same time, there would be subtle differences when unfolded. Not to mention humans. Even the slightest difference is not what I want."
Tong Ming didn't understand at all: "Why do you have to find the same one? Can't you try a different flavor? It's just like eating dessert. You'll get tired of eating the same one all the time!"
"You don't understand," Cen Xun stood up, patted his shoulder, and said, "Sixth Brother, I hope you will never understand this kind of suffering."
Tong Ming raised his voice towards Cen Xun's back, "Of course I'll never understand, because I'm not as indecisive as you. Hesitation only leads to chaos. I will kill him without hesitation!"
Cen Xun did not respond. His black hair, which reached the back of his neck, fluttered gently in the evening breeze, leaving Tong Ming with only an indifferent back.
In the ruins filled with smoke, fires were burning fiercely, the whole earth was shaking, humans were fleeing under the collapsed buildings, and their cries of despair seemed so insignificant in the face of the huge disaster.
"I saw the fate of countless humans falling from the World Tree like dead leaves."
Who? Who's speaking?
A man with half of his body trapped under the rubble reached out to the sky with hope in his eyes, but the next second he was smashed into a pulp by falling steel bars and rocks.
The flood came roaring and submerged the entire city.
"I see the fate of this world. Falling into the dark abyss will be its final destination."
The wildly laughing humans jumped from the rooftops, and countless people died in the disaster.
"Du"
"Du"
A pair of high heels appeared in the field of vision, the bright red color seemed to be dyed with blood, and the slender and bony ankles were as pale as snow.
She raised her hand with bright red nails, and a red thread was wrapped around her fingertips.
"The fate of the world rests in your hands."
"Are you sure you want to make such a deal with me?"
"I'm sure."
"Some people say that I am so ruthless to everything in the world because I don't understand love. Then I will give him a chance to let me understand what love is."
Human flesh and blood filled the monster's skin, and a heart grew in its cold chest.
"So, now you understand what love is?"
The woman raised her eyes, revealing a pair of rose-red eyes: "My brother."
Cen Xun opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling in a daze for a long time.
The heart in his chest was still beating. He raised his hand, felt the living heart under his palm, and let out a breath.
"Destiny." Cen Xun murmured in a low voice.
Cen Xun didn't know why he suddenly had a dream about "fate". The only thing he could be sure of was that both this dream and his transformation from a ghost to a human were definitely influenced by "fate".
Cen Xun thought for a moment, but couldn't fall asleep, so he simply threw away the panda pillow in his arms and sat up.
There seemed to be an extra box on the windowsill. Cen Xun walked over and opened the lid, and found three feathers of different colors lying neatly inside.
There is pure white, pure black, and mixed colors of black and white.
As soon as Cen Xun picked them up, a prompt popped up from the nightmare system.
[Player Feng Jihan gifted you the item "Angel's Feather". Do you want to bind it?]
Cen Xun: “?”
What happened after Feng Jihan returned home last night? Why did they suddenly start selling bird feathers at a discount?
