Chapter 111 Midnight Snack

After returning to the hotel, the three of them sat in the same suite and planned to have a midnight snack.

He Jingtong also once again handed over the right to order food to Qi Xueyi.

Only then did he have time to reply to the system: [That was just a reasonable exchange of equal value.]

This was a response to the system's previous comment that he was too cruel.

There is no such thing as cruel or not cruel, it is just the choice that best conforms to logic and facts.

He Jingtong really had no way to resist teleportation, which made him heartbroken. Saving two ordinary people was a reasonable exchange.

[That's what I mean! How can anyone put themselves on the scale so easily and compare themselves with other things?] The system feels like it has stopped working.

Stuck, tangled, messy.

However, the system did not intend to continue this topic for a long time. After all, He Jingtong's failure to respond to it during the period of examination in the hospital was already a form of cold treatment.

Continuing this topic would only make things difficult for him...

Little did he know that He Jingtong had already anticipated the system's idea.

[Let's forget about this topic and talk about something else. Do you want to see the forum? Or the comments section? Or the new increase in comic points... Or do you want to see what new products are on sale in the 10% off section? ]

[So why can't we use the multi-view function?] He Jingtong teased the system for a moment, letting the silence that made others confused ferment.

To put it in human terms, the system is already pinching its own Ren Zhong point like crazy.

However, it still turns on the multi-view function.

Looking at the large number of names on the function interface, or characters without names but only referred to by some titles, the system asked He Jingtong: [Who do you want to see? ]

[The squad leader who was taken away by the police during the day, and the alien spirit Fu Zexun. ]

In the system space door, the multi-perspective function screen that could be received by He Jingtong's brain first cut to the squad leader.

The squad leader who replaced Yuan Ying was named He Yuchen. In the intelligence related to Taohuayuan that An Lai had investigated before, there was also a person named He.

That person was the initiator of the Peach Blossom Spring Project and one of the managers who actually implemented the plan.

In a recent news broadcast, the researcher who was physiologically attributed to He Yuchen's father was sentenced to death.

The same batch of death row inmates will be executed in three days.

Thinking from an emotional and rational point of view, He Yuchen should be sad that his father is dying and want to see him for the last time, but in fact, what he did was not the case. Instead, he wanted to make the spiritual master's living environment worse - the multi-view function is compatible with the rewind function turned on.

That happened this afternoon.

3pm, detention center.

Attempted murder cases involving minors are not a big deal, but they are not a small deal either.

Not long after He Yuchen entered the police station, he was released on bail.

Later, the two got into the same car together, and the first thing the bailor said was: "Someone should have warned you not to make a scene lately."

He Yuchen looked dissatisfied: "But to make the living environment of spiritualists worse, isn't that what every participant in the Peach Blossom Spring Project wants to achieve?"

He argued convincingly.

"I just slightly advanced this approach. And I also tested the ability of the prophet He Jingtong. What he saw in his prophecy was not just some pictures, but a whole future destiny line from one point."

Recalling the information he had found out, He Yuchen's expression was filled with pride.

"At least in the future he saw, my plan was successful. Not only was it successful, it even trapped the spiritual master in a vortex from which he could hardly protect himself." When He Yuchen spoke, there was obvious pride in his eyes.

The person who was about to drive him away suddenly stopped the car after it had already started.

The person in the driver's seat turned his head, his eyes as gloomy as a venomous snake: "Idiot! The news that He Jingtong is a prophet is already outdated."

During the time when He Jingtong was kidnapped by Fu Zexun, in order to make use of all kinds of intelligence sources on the black market, the academy had already made public He Jingtong's predictive ability.

"As for what we can see in the picture he prophesied, it is no longer important since his ability is prophecy. As long as his ability is prophecy, then we must consider all the worst possible outcomes."

The man emphasized: "This includes not letting him find out that the participants in the Peach Blossom Spring Project are not so much executed as they are..."

"Towards eternal life—"

This person has nothing to do with the Peach Blossom Spring Project, but he was one of the people who provided experimental subjects to the human Fu Zexun.

"But how could He Jingtong know all this?" He Yuchen was puzzled. "In my calculations, no matter whether Yuan Ying turned into a spirit after her death, I can force Ye Rui to become a spirit."

"Then once the spirits that want to kill me are dealt with by the spiritualist who also lives in the resort, my behavior of replacing Yuan Ying's identity will be exposed, and the emotions and public opinion of the people of North City will be under my control."

The man in the front seat hit the steering wheel hard and accidentally hit the horn. A passerby was startled by the sound and cursed: "Are you crazy? You are not driving and you are honking the horn here."

Following this voice, the person in the front seat actually calmed down.

He looked into the rearview mirror with a deep gaze: "Then can you explain to me why He Jingtong said to you when you had an argument, 'If you think that so-called eternal life is right, then you should die first'."

He Yuchen's face suddenly turned ugly. He was still trying to argue: "But this doesn't mean that he knows who I am. Even if he knows who I am, can he guess that Dad and the others are planning to transform into spirits en masse?"

"Why do you think we took the initiative to send Zhou Li to Fu Zexun's experimental base when Fu Zexun kidnapped He Jingtong?"

At that time, the academy had not yet revealed He Jingtong's identity as a prophet to the black market. But at that time, Fu Zexun had already made it clear that He Jingtong had the qualifications to become a Z-level spirit.

He is creating a legend himself.

The legendary He Jingtong, once established, will be able to control both the time gate and the space gate.

"As long as he has the potential to become a Z-level psychic, never try to drag him into the confrontation between us and other psychics."

"The future belongs to the world of spirits, and He Jingtong is destined to become the most powerful spirit. He possesses the power to change this world."

Time gates and space gates, present and future.

After that, everything becomes something that can be seen, penetrated, and embraced.

"That is not just wealth and fortune. As long as he exists and his will remains within the realm of artificial spiritualists, he is destined to lead us, this country, and even the world."

The more the person in the front seat spoke, the harder it became to conceal the strange excitement that came from the bottom of his heart.

"That is the realm of God, and we are witnessing the birth of a God and trying to control God--"

He Yuchen got goosebumps all over his body because of the weird idea of ​​the person driving in the front seat.

He shuddered and said, "But didn't He Wanjin already set limits on He Jingtong? As long as He Jingtong kills someone, he will die with him."

"You think that's a contradiction? Idiot." The driver sneered.

"Let's not talk about killing He Wanjin to get rid of that constraint. Even if that constraint exists forever, it still doesn't matter. The future belongs to the world of spirits. As a spirit, He Jingtong will never touch the so-called constraint even if he kills another spirit."

"Besides, why do you think Zhou Li's mission is to brainwash He Jingtong and make him dedicate himself to this country forever? It is because only in this way, only when He Jingtong can still maintain the heart of an artificial spiritualist after becoming a spirit, will He Jingtong have the greatest controllability."

The person in the front seat said meaningfully: "A knife is only a good knife when it is in your own hands."

He glanced at the rearview mirror sarcastically: "Your stupidity already makes me laugh. Not only did you fail to see the situation clearly, but you even dared to drag He Jingtong, who was deliberately isolated, into this."

"Why? Could it be that you have already regarded the fate line that He Jingtong argued for as the future that was destined to happen?"

He Yuchen had a stiff face, looking as if to say, "Isn't this how it should be?"

"It's so stupid! Fate never has only one result. There are countless destiny lines. In the uncertain future, there may be a destiny line where you succeed, but there are also countless destiny lines where you cannot succeed. It's like the fate that has already happened now, which is a fact that has already been established at the moment."

"Don't drag He Jing into this. Don't let him know too much. Don't let him, who is still a cleric saving his companions and rescuing ordinary people, know our purpose."

"Otherwise, we will only be confronting the knife that should have belonged to us."

The man stared at the rearview mirror with sharp eyes: "If I find you stupid enough to oppose He Jingtong again, then in the future that everyone, including your father and me, wants, where all humans become spiritualized... I can guarantee that you will not exist in that world."

He Yuchen instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Eternal life is something he desires the most. It is the goal pursued by his father and his father's like-minded people.

If that were the case, in the future that so many of my relatives and friends wanted to achieve, I was not included in it...

He Yuchen couldn't accept it, and there was an indelible fear in his eyes. Finally, he raised one hand and swore, speaking sincerely and humbly: "I know I was wrong. I'm sorry. I have caused you trouble. I will never act on my own again in the future..."

"That would be best."

Afterwards, they drove away from the North City.

.

The system was stunned: [Don't tell me that you knew all along what the people involved in the Peach Blossom Spring Project wanted to do to you.]

[But in the first fourteen chapters of the manga, you didn't really have the ability to predict. The points you had at that time couldn't buy the Chaos Prophecy worth 6.66 million.]

This is what the system is most confused about.

But the title of the opening chapter of the thirteenth chapter of the Ghost Story comic is "The Piaoling Chapter".

Now we have progressed to the fifteenth chapter of the comic, and the system has only just begun to vaguely reveal the true meaning of the so-called floating zero.

[Don't think about things you don't understand.] He Jingtong didn't intend to explain to the system.

Although everything now still has traces of the original supernatural comics, it has also opened up a completely new and unknown route.

It is for this reason that He Jingtong chose to replace the Chaos Prophecy when he had accumulated enough points at the end of the 14th chapter of the comic.

He Jingtong let the system enter a chaotic state with a lot of questions in its mind, while he just watched Qi Xueyi open the door.

In a blink of an eye, the white-haired boy was grilling a plate in each of his left and right hands, with another plate stacked between the two plates...

The aroma of grilling fills my nose.

With this look on his face, Qi Xueyi placed all three plates on the table.

"Come and eat it while it's hot. Beicheng BBQ is very famous, and the portions are especially generous. I've never eaten a whole corn roasted at a time. I used to eat the kind that were roasted one corn at a time on skewers."

After saying this, Qi Xueyi even complained: "It's like a tongue twister."

Then Qi Xueyi also called Jian Zirui: "There are a few grilled corns and grilled vegetables. They were told not to add too much oil. After all, they are grilled by the chef of a high-end resort. Let's try it and see how it tastes."

Jian Zirui was speechless: "Can you please stop acting like I'm crazy about meatballs and won't eat anything else?"

"Eating meatballs is just a habit, just a habit."

"Perhaps it can also be said that it is an object of dependence formed when you were a child?" Jian Zirui asked in a questioning tone, "But in the end, meatballs are also food, although they are not that delicious."

"But if it's for filling your stomach, don't be picky."

Jian Zirui placed a few tin-wrapped meatballs on the middle door of the three baking trays. Qi Xueyi went out again and brought a bunch of drinks from outside.

"So what...drinking? I bought a few bottles of beer, and some cola, milk tea, and other things."

He Jingtong raised his hand decisively: "I want a Coke."

Jian Zirui followed closely behind: "I also want Coke, beer or something, you can drink it yourself. Or you can go talk to Teacher Rui, I don't mind, but let's forget it."

"Eh - shouldn't we all say drink in unison at this time?"

"We didn't drink when we were with five people in the afternoon, so it doesn't make sense for us to drink in the evening."

"What's more," He Jingtong looked at Qi Xueyi, raised his arms, and his white shirt slid down. After a while, a purple mark was revealed, which looked particularly terrifying on his abnormally pale skin.

"You can't drink even if you're injured."

Qi Xueyi's eyes wandered: "Okay, blame me."

"But sometimes you still need to keep some injuries, otherwise I always feel that once you are healed, you will forget that you are a human being and think of yourself as one of those player characters in the game who can charge again once they are fully healed."

He Jingtong nodded and picked up a bunch of roasted cabbage.

Inside the system space door, the multi-view function is also being displayed diligently. The second character locked by He Jingtong is the alien spirit Fu Zexun.

If the information we learned from He Yuchen and the mysterious man is that the participants in the Peach Blossom Spring experiment will not die but will become "immortal spirits", then what can be intuitively seen from the spirit Fu Zexun is another kind of evidence.

Fu Zexun, the alien spirit guilty of jealousy, is being questioned by Su Qing under the dual effects of the multi-perspective function and reversal.

In the picture, the alien Su Qing looked at the alien Fu Zexun with mocking eyes. The alien Fu Zexun turned into a ghost and deliberately put on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

"For a spirit like you whose heart is already filled with jealousy, can you just watch He Jingtong go to another city and leave your sight?"

"He will come back eventually." The alien Fu Zexun was not angry at all. "Besides, only an arrogant alien like you, for whom the memories provided by the original body have no effect, would fail to notice that a human has already taken the initiative to contact me."

The alien spirit Fu Zexun looked at the alien spirit Su Qing with disdain.

Su Qing's real memory is nothing but acting, but this skill has no advantage for the alien Su Qing.

Arrogant spirits cannot deceive others through acting. The memories and skills left by Su Qing Primarch are almost useless to him.

However, from a certain perspective, the realm is the puppet's alien spirit Su Qing, perhaps it is the trace left by the original Su Qing.

After all, it was because Su Qing couldn't control herself and escape from the plot of the movie that she finally said that she wanted her son, Su Xu, to die.

And the realm of puppets that can control others seems to be particularly like - since I can't control myself, then I will control others.

Shaking off the thoughts in his mind, the alien Fu Zexun looked at the alien Su Qing, whose eyes revealed confusion, and said sarcastically: "Who else can prove better than my existence that the emotions of aliens are controllable?"

Alien Su Qing: "What are you talking about?"

Fu Zexun didn't mind explaining to this spirit who wanted to have fun but ended up becoming the fun himself.

"One of the byproducts I once studied was how to keep the spirits sane."

When he escaped from the academy, He Jingtong really wanted to kill him, but he was blocked by a ghost at the critical moment.

That is the revelation of a corner of fate.

Just as Fu Zexun had understood since then, compared to treating the alien spirits as tools and deliberately controlling them with a divided mind, it is better to let the alien spirits have their own conditioned reflexes, so that they can face certain situations more flexibly.

To explain it in a more understandable way, it means making the aliens into tools with full loyalty points that can act spontaneously without being controlled.

"Interestingly, a byproduct of my research seems to be regarded by some humans as a way for supernatural beings to remain rational."

This kind of cognition cannot be said to be completely wrong, it can only be said to be extremely wrong.

For example, the alien spirit Fu Zexun, and another example is the alien spirit Su Qing.

The latter's arrogance made him crazy about having fun, while the former was supposed to become a greedy spirit, but in the end, he was guided by He Jingtong and became a jealous spirit.

This also makes the alien spirit Fu Zexun have endless jealousy and want to kill people.

As for the fact that Fu Zexun originally wanted to become a greedy alien, it was because he initially regarded the alien Su Qing as his food.

Unfortunately, after becoming jealous, he no longer had the thought of eating the alien spirit Su Qing.

Among the seven sins, only greed can allow an A-rank spirit to eat an S-rank spirit without exploding.

Jealousy doesn't have that kind of absorption conversion rate.

Moreover, this jealousy was forcibly transformed by the alien spirit Fu Zexun into a desire to kill He Jingtong's two teammates.

He was jealous that Jian Zirui and Qi Xueyi could accompany him, and could watch He Jingtong up close as he moved toward the legendary Z-level...

The reason why this crazy jealousy could be blocked and simulated into a rational state was that the root of Fu Zexun's jealousy was that he was jealous of others for being able to see He Jingtong becoming a Z-level alien.

And if the alien Fu Zexun really killed He Jingtong and his two teammates, then it would be impossible to see He Jingtong become a Z-level alien.

Once his two teammates died, He Jingtong would just go crazy and hunt down the alien spirit Fu Zexun.

He would only be A-rank by then, and would die miserably.

The alien spirit Fu Zexun also thought about this, and this might be the reason why he eventually became jealous instead of greedy.

After all, if he was greedy, he could directly use the power of the alien Su Qing for his own benefit.

In simple terms, eat the latter.

By then, Fu Zexun will become an S-level greedy alien, and his control over He Jingtong will increase dramatically.

After all, strength can defeat skill. As long as the alien spirit Fu Zexun eats the alien spirit Su Qing, he will be the new strongest.

No one can defeat an S-rank Greedy Alien right now.

Unfortunately, now that he has become jealous, Fu Zexun is unable to realize that idea and can only stay at Level A and figure out how to open the realm on his own.

Looking back at this change from greed to jealousy, he realized that He Jingtong seemed to be intentionally leaving him room for growth...

Moreover, he indirectly forced the alien spirit Fu Zexun and the alien spirit Su Qing to be tied up.

The alien spirit Fu Zexun had no choice but to make everything roundabout.

He had thought about controlling the alien spirit Su Qing and letting the alien spirit Su Qing kidnap He Jingtong to continue this experiment.

But this triangular structure is really stable.

Fu Zexun, the alien spirit, couldn't guarantee that after abducting He Jingtong, He Jingtong and the alien spirit Su Qing would unite and kill him first...

"What do you mean by some people misunderstand that spirits can remain rational?" the spirit Su Qing asked.

"Hmm..." After a brief moment of contemplation, the alien Fu Zexun answered him, "That group of people sincerely believe that spiritualization is the quickest way for humans to achieve immortality."

"The biggest drawback of the aliens is that they are born from the sins of the human race and have no rationality."

"They may not be aware of your existence, but in their eyes, my existence is equivalent to the ability of the supernatural to remain rational."

Is the alien Su Qing rational? If he were rational, he wouldn't be so stupid - this is the evaluation from the alien Fu Zexun.

But no matter whether Fu Zexun becomes a greedy alien or a jealous alien, the most important thing is always that he hopes to see He Jingtong become a Z-level alien.

This is the reason why Fu Zexun became a spirit.

He must see, so in order to achieve this goal, everything else will be ignored, which creates the so-called picture of maintaining sanity.

But can other humans do it?

Obviously impossible.

"To put it in human terms, those idiots thought that the aliens were already able to maintain their sanity. They pinned their hopes on me to voluntarily hand over the technology that they had read as a way to keep the aliens sane, but in reality it was a technique to control the aliens to be 100% loyal to me."

"Ha——" The alien spirit Fu Zexun laughed, "I have never seen anyone so stupid."

The alien Su Qing sneered and challenged him: "But you have become what you are now, isn't it because of the guidance of those people?"

Fu Zexun originally just wanted to create an artificial spiritualist.

As a result, he was deceived, fooled, and cheated all the way, and with the existence of the S-level lazy spirit, he finally wanted to turn other people into spirits, and finally control the spirits he created to kill other spirits...

That was even what he had thought before.

The alien Fu Zexun's current thoughts seemed to be controlled by an invisible big hand, and they changed to the point where he must see He Jingtong become a Z-level alien.

"To put it bluntly, aren't you just a bunch of people who use each other and drive each other crazy? It's just that He Jingtong was unlucky and was dragged into this by both of you."

The alien Fu Zexun smiled with a fake smile. He looked at the alien Su Qing who suddenly had a brain and said, "Do you think I still need you, a rebellious dog, when those idiots have come to my door to be my dogs?"

"Come to think of it, after I became a jealous spirit, I came up with the idea of ​​feeding you to He Jingtong's soul to accelerate his growth and turn him into a Z-level spirit. It's not impossible to achieve it—"

"Maybe I need to think about how to decorate you into a delicious cake and trick He Jingtong into eating it."

The alien spirit Su Qing's face suddenly turned ugly: "Are you sure? Once I die, no matter how many alien spirits you can control, as long as they are not S-level, humans will always find a way. Moreover, even if they are S-level, it does not mean that humans do not have a solution."

"You are not strong enough in fighting, so how do you think you can see He Jingtong transform into a Z-level alien?" The alien Su Qing crossed his arms over his chest, his gaze becoming arrogant and condescending.

"Just because I want to see him become a Z-level alien, just because I want to create the legend myself, rather than control the legend." The alien Fu Zexun's eyes under the lens were cold and unclear.

He looked at the alien spirit Su Qing, his tone full of calmness and so-called rationality after disguise: "I have already prepared to sacrifice myself."!
