Chapter 106 The Future
"He didn't really die, he just changed into a strange appearance, like conjoined twins or a person born with a disability, but he still had memories, he was still a human being."
Those faces were unclear and their figures were illusory, as if the mist had formed into a solid body, but the figures behind them could be seen clearly. Each of them was like a moral standard, blaming the spiritual master.
And behind those people, stood an S-level alien.
The monster was laughing, laughing at the humans who were protected by the spiritualist, but in that moment they were protecting the alien spirits instead.
The corners of the alien's mouth grew wider and wider until it turned into a bloody mouth, swallowing up the ordinary people who opposed the boy one after another.
The dark and misty environment seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness, until there were no more living people in sight...
.
"Bang!" It was the sound of He Jingtong suddenly waking up and bumping into the table.
The commotion was so loud that many people looked at him.
He Jingtong was really incapable of caring. After taking the medicine, he leaned against the chair and took a nap. But just now, he woke up from his light sleep and collapsed on the chair with cold sweat all over his body.
Sweat soaked his forehead, and there was still a hint of horror in He Jingtong's eyes that lingered for a long time.
The images in the dream are different from the expressions in the dream. He Jingtong in the dream would be terrified by such images. But in reality, He Jingtong in a rational state would only want to kill the alien spirit.
Qi Xueyi, who was sitting next to him, was startled.
While He Jing was sleeping, Qi Xueyi took his temperature several times, but after finding that it had indeed dropped, he relaxed his vigilance. Seeing that he suddenly woke up, he quickly walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
He Jingtong was completely exhausted, and his voice was weak, but he said, "...It wasn't a nightmare, I just saw some things again."
Jian Zirui, who was originally sitting on the other side of the square table, also got a cup of warm water from the water dispenser in the hall. As she walked towards this place, she took out a yellow meditation talisman from her sleeve.
Jian Zirui placed the warm paper cup in her hand into He Jingtong's palm. At the same time, she folded the talisman until it became the size of a fingernail, and then stuffed it into a peace charm.
"There is no suitable herbal medicine for calming the nerves at the moment, so let's use this first." Jian Zirui frowned slightly. After all, she grew up in a Taoist temple, and she had read through most of the books stored there.
Regarding the prophecy, there is no clear record in official history, but some unofficial histories have some speculations and records.
Some people see the future as a picture, whose clear meaning requires the viewer to interpret it with the help of other information. But some people, like He Jingtong, often see not a single picture, but a detailed future like a TV series.
The brain cannot forget those things, so it can only try to calm down and wake up so as not to be too obsessed with the so-called "future."
Jian Zirui placed the amulet in He Jingtong's palm and said, "I will contact Master later to see if there is any other solution."
"It's okay." He Jingtong shook his head. He took the thermometer and took another temperature. He pointed to the normal temperature and said, "It's really okay."
"Haha." Qi Xue said with a fake smile, looking like he was asking if I believe it or not. But he did not continue the topic afterwards, but just reminded himself to always pay attention to He Jingtong's physical condition.
After remembering it in his mind, Qi Xueyi asked He Jingtong again: "What did you see just now?"
"It's still the future I talked about before." He Jingtong held the paper cup and drank it all in one gulp before calming down. "It's just that the scene in my dream just now is more detailed."
He saw clearly that in order to protect a strange spirit, the people of this city caused the death of a large number of ordinary people, and also caused large-scale casualties among spiritual masters.
A tragic scene, familiar people bleeding and torn apart, ghosts laughing wildly and mocking humans... and their own bodies also taking on a ghostly form.
He Jingtong looked at the palms of his hands. In his dream, his hands had turned into an asphalt-like substance, showing a completely black color.
It doesn't have the normal fleshy texture of skin, and it doesn't look like a human...
"I was suddenly shocked." He Jingtong sat up straight. After regaining his senses, he was able to let a steady smile appear on the corner of his mouth. He said, "It's a little hard to accept that a familiar classmate is stuck here and in trouble."
"Trust Teacher Rui." Qi Xueyi thought that what He Jingtong said was all he saw. "If you already know what will happen, you can still prevent a car accident. Besides, the driver that Teacher Rui borrowed from the hotel has ten years of driving experience."
When Xijun was communicating with the lobby manager, Qi Xueyi listened in the whole process.
"After that, that girl will probably go to participate in this competition with her best friend." Jian Zirui pursed her lips. "No matter who wins the first place in this math competition, it won't be like before."
Jian Zirui wanted to use facts to calm He Jingtong down, but her intuition told her that things might not be that simple.
The biggest problem, on the contrary, is not that two good friends, one died in a car accident, and the other turned into a spirit. Rather, it is why this incident happened to be made into such a big deal——
Has the academy offended anyone?
The education system has already existed. Those people in the black market just rely on their status as spiritual masters to gain benefits beyond those of ordinary people. As for the alien Fu Zexun...
Although his exact location could not be found, the academy was able to contact someone with the ability to map.
Therefore, it has long been determined that the approximate range of the alien spirits Fu Zexun and Su Qing are still in the city where the Elite Academy is located.
I won’t say that I followed He Jing to the tourist destination.
In other words, Fu Zexun can be simply ruled out as being involved in the subsequent events of this prophecy.
Jian Zirui had carefully observed He Jingtong's expression, but she had to admit one fact, that is, she did not have any strong ability to read people. At least she could not tell whether He Jingtong was hiding any information.
Who told the people of North City the reason and process of the tall and thin man turning into a ghost?
Jian Zirui thought about it for a long time, and finally she was inexplicably focused on the TV news that they had been watching as soon as they entered the hotel.
The projected image showed that all those involved in Peach Blossom Spring had been arrested.
After the intervention of the people in the spiritual master prison, Jian Zirui would not doubt the falsity of this information. But was the Peach Blossom Spring incident just a bad thing that happened to the spiritual master that they, as students, saw?
He Jingtong saw too many things, whether it was the heat in his head or the awakening from a dream just now, all these things showed the obviously tragic future.
If no one intervened, even if things got further out, they wouldn't have turned out like that.
Then there is the image of He Jingtong opening his eyes, spreading his hands and staring at his hands.
The way he looked at his hands at that time was as if he was trying to confirm whether his hands still existed.
What would be the prerequisite for his hands to cease to exist?
Either they were transformed into inhuman spirits, or their hands were chopped off while they were still human.
Who has this ability and who can do all this?
Now that Fu Zexun has been ruled out, Jian Zirui has to think about who could lead to such a future.
Jian Zirui realized that she was missing key information at the moment.
She also really didn't know that the live broadcast incident was not an accident but man-made.
But she knew very well that the Peach Blossom Spring incident started ten years ago and ended ten years ago. In the ten years since then, the experimental subjects, that is, Liu Shuyu, He Wanjin and others, have all been trying to send the former experimenters to the spiritual court.
Logically speaking, the matter has passed. Even if He Jingtong paid attention to it, he would have considered it as the past after paying attention to it.
But after watching the news report, he said nothing, not even any relevant comments.
Jian Zirui was not sure whether her guess was right or wrong, but she could make an assumption.
Make bold assumptions and verify them carefully.
Assuming that the two events are related, given that the Spiritual Master Prison has already released the inherent information that all the relevant persons have been arrested, can we also assume that all the relevant persons have indeed been arrested, but the relevant persons...
The heir to the will? But he is not counted among them.
Let’s make another assumption. Let’s assume that the heirs happen to have a bad opinion of spiritualists…
More and more problems arose, and finally the most obvious question was, why didn't He Jingtong solve these problems?
There was no way he hadn't noticed.
This means that either due to the limitations of prophecy, it cannot be said, or for some specific reason, it is unwilling to reveal this information.
I have to say that Jian Zirui had already guessed most of it.
The inherent premise of all of He Jingtong's unspoken messages is:
He Wanjin wants to save Le He and Zhuang Yifei's lives.
As long as the two people who subjectively created the live broadcast incident had the intention of pushing He Jingtong to become a supernatural being, it was equivalent to forcing He Jingtong to die.
Apart from this, the recent explosive growth of alien spirits and the death of the original bodies represented by the alien spirits can basically be blamed on Le He and Zhuang Yifei.
In other words, there is a high probability that both of them will die, and a small probability that they will spend their entire lives in the spiritualist prison.
They were classmates, and He Wanjin also existed, but the information was not shared with his companions, which led to the cause and effect relationship in which Lehe and Zhuang Yifei went to harm He Jingtong.
He Jingtong certainly knew this too.
He is destined not to violate his core setting - to consider others before considering himself.
In his opinion, Lok Wo and Zhuang Yifei did not deserve the death penalty. This was one thing, and another thing was that He Wanjin hoped that the two of them would not go to jail.
Just let the bad guys get their comeuppance...
Although this also exists, He Wanjin feels guilty for not informing Le He and Zhuang Yifei of the intelligence in advance, which led to He Jingtong's spiritualization becoming more serious.
Furthermore, once He Wanjin and Liu Shuyu's intelligence is integrated and summarized, He Wanjin will also discover another point.
That is, He Jingtong, who had the prophecy, also hoped to inform ordinary people of the information about spiritual masters and spirits during this period.
Liu Shuyu learned this part of the situation from Cui Tong and An Lai.
As An Lai said, He Jingtong's behavior of preventing all spiritual masters from having to face the terrible consequence of being enemies of the whole world is something that all spiritual masters should strive to maintain.
But when He Jing and himself both subjectively wanted to reveal the existence of supernatural beings to ordinary people at that time, Le He and Zhuang Yifei would not have to bear the consequences of going to jail, right?
Are He Wanjin and He Jing familiar with each other? A slight blood relationship.
Are you unfamiliar with He Jingtong?
But after all, he is his nephew who has felt guilty for a long time.
But compared to Le He and Zhuang Yifei, who have fought side by side with He Wanjin for ten years——
He Jingtong is self-aware.
He didn't even think a comparison was necessary.
There are so many problems. If we tell Qi Xueyi and Jian Zirui at this time that the people who were originally destined to cause all the trouble in this travel incident were the children and descendants of the Peach Blossom Spring experimenters, then we must talk about the purpose of the Peach Blossom Spring project.
——Everyone is spiritualized, and the goal of immortality pursued by some people is only known to a small number of people at that time.
As long as He Jingtong dares to say that Le He and Zhuang Yifei created the live broadcast incident to cause their own transformation and improvement, the people around him will only hope that the two of them die quickly.
Die quickly, die early.
As for He Jingtong, he also hopes to reveal the existence of spiritual masters and spirits to ordinary people during this period...
These two things cannot be compared at all.
One is to use He Jingtong's terrifying power to shock ordinary people, make them afraid of him, and thus be wary of evil spirits.
Another reason is that they have long foreseen the tragic end of spiritualists being ostracized by society.
The live broadcast incident created by Le He and Zhuang Yifei caused He Jingtong's soul to become more transformed. In the eyes of the college teachers and his two teammates, these two people must die.
However, He Wanjin believes that their crimes do not deserve the death penalty. Although their actions are wrong, their ultimate goals are roughly the same.
This uncle and nephew both stand in the center of the scale.
He Wanjin could either watch Le He and Zhuang Yifei die, or try to save them.
He chose the latter.
So what else could He Jingtong choose?
He seems to exist, and tells the people around him that Le He and Zhuang Yifei created the live broadcast incident, and pushes the option of one of them dying. But as long as He Jingtong is still He Jingtong, when He Wanjin has made his choice, he will just acquiesce and save Le He and Zhuang Yifei.
Although this decision was not known to anyone at the time.
For example, An Lai knew that the live broadcast incident was caused by Le He and Zhuang Yifei, but in his opinion, the two had already been sent to the Spiritual Master Prison.
The ability of the warden of the Spiritual Prison is to calculate evidence of crimes that is related to the law of cause and effect.
Therefore, the laws related to spiritual masters can be promoted rapidly after entering modern society.
This ability, which involves the law of cause and effect, can determine guilt and punishment immediately.
However, although this ability is related to cause and effect and has the ability to accurately determine sin, it is not often used.
The warden will die, and one day her powers will disappear. Then, how will the Spiritual Prison continue?
Of course it is an exact law.
But once the law is involved, instead of really calculating the sin from the perspective of cause and effect, it is not difficult to exonerate Wei Lehe and Zhuang Yifei.
As long as He Jingtong does not take the initiative to explain, and he does not take the initiative to apply to the spiritual master prison to calculate the final punishment for his sins according to the law of cause and effect, then no matter how severe the punishment for Le He and Zhuang Yifei is, it will definitely not involve life and death.
This is a world that is so complicated that it gives you a headache.
He Jingtong acquiesced to He Wanjin's behavior and acknowledged that the two people should not have died that way.
This also resulted in what he could not explain at this moment, the fate line that had been cut off by him, that is, the future in which the tall and thin man turned into a spirit and even grew to S-level, causing the death of a large number of spiritual masters, and there was a situation in which the successor of the Peach Blossom Spring's will intervened.
How to explain it?
Can't explain.
Besides, the future has already been changed, hasn’t it?
He Jingtong looked at the person in the ordinary student team who was playing in place of others with a heavy gaze.
【Draw it. 】
He drew all of the future he saw, the events related to it, the people involved, and even the "dream scenes", which were scenes of the deaths of a large number of ordinary people and spiritualists.
He Jingyi used the rewind function to capture everything he saw and processed it into the comic content for the fifteenth chapter.
The system looked at the final comic and thought: [Does this mean that the comic reader can also see what the comic protagonist sees? ]
[But the bad thing is that what the protagonist and the reader see is invisible to the people around the protagonist.]
After the system finished speaking, it realized that something was wrong: [No, that's not right. What you just said was, "draw it", not cut it into a comic, so...]
【It's just what you think. 】
He Jingtong withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to Jian Zirui, who was staring at him in deep thought.
The boy smiled and said silently: "Those are destined not to exist in the future."
When Jian Zirui heard this, her expression suddenly froze.
At the same time, Xijun also came with the girl.
He first greeted the students of the psychic department, and then took the girl with him to discuss the details with the teachers of the ordinary school.
When Xijun walked into the group of paranormal science students again, the girl had already started talking to the tall and thin guy with a look of surprise on her face.
She said happily that she could compete again. She said that this time she could compete with her friends in a large-scale math competition. She also said that the 100,000 yuan prize for the first place in this competition would definitely go to her, so the tall and thin man had to take a step back and take the 50,000 yuan for the first place.
The tall and thin man also replied: "I still think I can get 100,000, so I'd better let you take first place."
Both of them were very happy, except for the student who had mocked them as soon as he entered the room, whose face darkened.
He is an ordinary person, yes, but he is also one of the children of the Peach Blossom Spring-related experimenters.
The future predicted by He Jingtong was originally driven by him.
When he found that nothing was going as he had imagined, his eyes also fell on He Jingtong.
Anyone with a little spiritualist connection could find out about the information on the spiritualist black market. So this person also knew that He Jing was also a prophet, but he never thought that the prophecy could be so detailed.
They looked at each other again, but this time, the student's eyes turned sinister and vicious.
He immediately guessed that it was He Jingtong who thwarted the conspiracy.
The ignorant students around him were still praising him, saying things like, "How could those teachers have the guts to cancel your place in the competition as class monitor? If they were going to cancel, they should have canceled Ye Rui's place."
The younger brother looked at the tall and thin man with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
But the squad leader he was holding kicked him away, and really kicked him away, knocking him to the ground.
The younger brother fell to the ground and looked at him in disbelief. This action caused everyone to look at him sideways, but the man walked towards He Jingtong regardless.
"You did it!" He walked over and slammed the table hard.
He Jingtong sat on the chair with his back straight. Facing the sudden question, he just replied calmly: "So what?"
"Or else let me watch those people who are in cahoots with you drive their car and hit that girl to death?" He Jingtong did not mention the girl's name. This was the only way he could protect her at this moment.
"Or do you mean to let you kill or injure more than 10,000 ordinary people in this city, and even cause the death of more than 100 spiritualists?"
"Using human lives to fill the void, to stir up conflict between ordinary people and spiritualists, to realize your ugly ideas—"
He Jingtong's face gradually turned colder.
His gaze was like an icicle frozen on the pine tree outside the hotel, which, as it broke and fell, made sharp little holes in the snow.
"Or do you think your views are absolutely correct? And you are self-righteous and think that you are promoting human progress?"
"You——!" The man was furious, but he calmed down in the blink of an eye. He took back his hands that were slapping the table, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked down at He Jingtong, "No, that's not right." "It's you who are so self-righteous that you think this plan is wrong."
"Can you see that future? Or is it simply that in the future you see, we have harmed the interests of you and the people around you, so you are so self-righteous that you use prophecy to interrupt all our actions."
"Don't you think your behavior is too arrogant? You can't come up with a negative conclusion, but you rely on your prophetic ability to cut off everyone--"
"Cut off everyone's possible future of eternal life!" He stared at He Jingtong with sharp eyes, trying to put pressure on He Jingtong with this look.
No one present could accurately understand what their conversation meant.
But many people knew that the behavior of the person who walked towards He Jingtong viciously was definitely not correct.
"Are you okay? To be more precise, you'd better be okay." Qi Xueyi pushed him forward. He didn't understand a lot of what he said, but he understood one thing.
That is, the girl’s death is related to the person in front of him.
"Where did you come from?" The person who was competing for others looked at him with a look of contempt.
It was as if he had taken that imagined future as a fait accompli through Ruoxi-kun's act of preventing the girl's death.
And he conceived the moment when everything came to an end as an obstruction by He Jingtong. If there had been no prophet, everything would have happened just like that...
In other words, every spiritual master present was equivalent to incompetence in this person's perception. !
