Chapter 112 Side by Side
"As for how crazy and dangerous he will be in the future, that has nothing to do with me."
After finishing this sentence, the system saw the screen showing the multi-view function, and then it suddenly went out.
The system looked at He Jingtong and asked: [Based on the information displayed in these two screens, there are indeed many new things. But we don’t seem to have got the answer you wanted at the beginning. ]
That is, why didn't the alien spirit, who could only teleport within a force field, kill his predecessors and successors whom he envied so much?
He Jingtong: "...You might consider upgrading."
【What?】The system asked blankly.
"I mean, Fu Zexun has already given the answer." He Jingtong looked at the ceiling.
At that moment, he had already washed up and was lying on the bed. Not long ago, he had made an appointment with two teammates to go for a walk around the North City after dawn instead of staying in the resort.
This is a relatively quiet city.
At least at three o'clock in the morning, looking outside the window, there were few houses still turning on the lights.
He Jingtong's cold voice echoed in the room: "Whether the alien Fu Zexun is a greedy alien or a jealous alien, the core reason that ultimately prompted him to become an alien is that he wants to see me become a Z-level alien."
"In other words, the teleporting ghost also has this absolute knowledge."
"The reason why he is jealous is that his predecessors and his successors no longer care for him, while the latter are not close to him."
"So, whether it's 'As long as I become stronger than them, they will have to look up to me', or 'The ones I envy will eventually become weaker than me'."
When answering systematic questions, He Jingtong does not need to care about any emotions. He just needs to be like a student who solves a math problem when he sees it. There is no need to guess any complicated cause and effect. It is simple and straightforward, yet relaxing.
"For reasons like these, the so-called non-killing of humans, which caused the alien spirits to become the root of the alien spirits, is not the current non-killing."
"Even the spirit that targeted me in the end probably had the same mentality: 'Killing the people who came to save them in front of the generations before and after them will only make them more desperate.'"
The young man said calmly: "To be honest, if it weren't for Qi Xueyi, I might have really died there."
System: [I don’t believe it.]
But the system couldn't say anything to firmly deny He Jingtong.
For him, teammates are the most important thing.
This is something the system had already discovered when He Jingtong first read the "Alien" comics on an airplane.
Everything in the past is false, but the future with teammates is especially real.
He Jingtong let his system's thoughts run wild and fell into a dream.
A sweet pillow.
After a short rest, before dawn, Qi Xueyi and Jian Zirui called He Jingtong to get up in a noisy manner, saying that they were going out to visit the famous morning market in the north city first.
On the busy streets, the aroma of various breakfast foods wafts into the air.
Following the crowd and doing as the local customs do, He Jingtong gradually picked up a few bags of food.
Until finally, after walking down the entire street, the three of them stopped in front of an ice cream stall.
"Do you really want to eat in such a cold weather? You bought wine yesterday and ice cream today. Why do I feel that after you came to North City, you are like, well... like a polar bear returning home from the tropics."
He Jingtong glanced at Qi Xueyi and replied to Jian Zirui, "It's really accurate."
Qi Xueyi's eyebrows were all white. As long as he didn't speak, the white-haired boy looked like a snow elf in this snowy city.
In the eyes of passers-by, the figures of the three of them always appear. Regardless of who is better, each of the three of them has the kind of look that makes you feel more energetic to work today.
However, the prerequisite for Qi Xueyi to transform into a snow elf is not to open his mouth——
"Eat when you should, drink when you should. You never know when tomorrow will be your last day in life. If I can't eat the ice cream from North City today, I won't even be able to grab the ashes from the first incense stick tomorrow if I'm gone."
Jian Zirui surrendered decisively: "Eat, eat, eat more, I'll pay."
…
From the morning market to the glacier.
After spending money to rent the skating equipment, the three people with amazing physiques quickly got the hang of it and were able to spin freely among the crowd.
On the ice, a little girl dressed as a sticky rice ball was pointing at Qi Xueyi and saying, "Mom, he looks like a snow fairy."
By chance, the girl heard Qi Xueyi talking again: "I don't know if I am a bit masochistic. When I'm skating, my mind is full of thoughts. It would be fun if I fell down."
The little girl looked up at her mother and said pitifully, "Mom, my dream is shattered."
The young mother next to him chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter. You still have another dream."
Qi Xueyi looked at his two teammates who were trying not to laugh with a confused look on his face.
.
Afterwards, the three of them went from the glacier to the ice sculpture exhibition.
Cartoon characters, classic buildings, cats and dogs.
What is more amazing is that there is an ice sculpture that is five meters high and is a giant portrait of a lady.
The sun has risen high, and its light is like golden dust spreading towards the North City, completely lighting up this city with short days and long nights.
The three of them raised their heads together to look up at the tall statue of the lady, watching the light of the golden wheel gently brush past her head, then gradually move downward, enveloping her entire figure in the glory.
It's really cold in the North City.
The coolness penetrates into people's hearts, yet it is icy but not cold.
He Jingtong exhaled lightly, and the breath turned into white mist and drifted away. He still looked up, looking at the lady's distinct hair in the sunlight, and said with a smile: "Come to the North City for a tour, it is indeed the most suitable for us."
"It feels like my soul has been cleared." Qi Xueyi looked down at the ground. Now, not only the ice sculpture lady, but also the three of them were shrouded in sunlight.
"There is sunshine every day. Even if it is occasionally covered by dark clouds, there is always sunlight in other places." Jian Zirui put his hands in his pockets.
Unlike the two people beside him, one looking up and the other looking down, Jian Zirui always looked straight ahead.
"That's right." Qi Xueyi raised his head.
He Jingtong also withdrew his gaze from observing the hair: "Go back and take a rest, and catch up on your sleep."
Taking in all the scenery I saw this morning, I once again fell into a sleep that truly symbolizes rest.
No one urged, no one disturbed.
No need to worry about studies or ghosts.
This sleep lasted from noon to early morning.
When I wake up, it seems that my soul is relaxed.
When the three of them got together again, they decided to go hiking.
In the dark early morning, they changed their clothes and put on cotton-like phone cases for their cell phones.
They opened the map and looked up a famous mountain bordering the resort. Finally, the three of them left the hotel together.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Qi Xueyi said, "Yesterday, Jian Zirui finished speaking, and I added the last sentence to it."
"There is sunshine every day. Even if it is occasionally covered by dark clouds, there is always sunshine somewhere else. Those who chase the sun will never let themselves be trapped in the wind and rain for a long time."
There was a bit of a chill at this point in the air, but the three people, whose vision had already been enhanced due to the increase in their soul power, could clearly see each other in the darkness.
He Jingtong looked at his two teammates, smiled and said, "Then let me add one more sentence."
"Those who chase the sun will never allow themselves to be trapped in the wind and rain for a long time. But I never chase the sun..."
He Jingtong looked at his two teammates, his eyes revealing an indescribable complex emotion, but without any disguise or pretense.
"But I never crave sunlight, because—"
"I am the storm."
Qi Xueyi and Jian Zirui were both stunned for a moment. They couldn't explain what they felt at that moment, but it was surprisingly clear that what He Jingtong said indicated that he had never been confused about the future.
"Are you still looking at me? There are stairs ahead. We agreed to climb the mountain. He Jingtong narrowed his eyes, and those complicated but not heavy emotions disappeared again.
Qi Xueyi turned around and walked towards the stairs: "I just didn't think you would say that. When I heard you say you wanted to continue, I thought you would say something like the sunshine would be in your hands.
“Well…but what everyone said is what they wanted to say and their own understanding.
He Jingtong followed behind and stepped into the footprint that Qi Xueyi had already left on the snow.
He Jingtong lowered his head to look at the road, and said in a calm voice: "Instead of pursuing sunlight, it is better to let all storms fall into my hands.
"I know I cannot embrace the sun, so I must master all the storms that obscure the sun of others.
"But in the final analysis, the storm under your control will no longer cause pressure or boredom to others. Jian Zirui knew that she should not put herself in their shoes.
After all, when they gathered together and talked about these words, it was like a group of sick people discussing a speech.
Despite this, Jian Zirui couldn't help but ponder what He Jingtong said.
I knew in my heart that I could not embrace the sun—and he knew, too, that he had no future.
Then he will master all the storms that block out other people's sun - as long as all dangers are under his control, no one will be trapped by the storms.
"But what I said before is that I am Fengbao." He Jingtong turned around and grabbed Jian Zirui's arm.
The stairs leading up the mountain were not big, only enough for one person to pass through. When Jian Zirui was lost in thought, his movements had unconsciously stopped.
It was when He Jingtong noticed this that he stopped and gave her a hand.
After releasing her hand at the right time, the boy told her, "Whether you control the storm or become the storm, isn't the sun always there?
"Don't stop here, go up. If you can't see the sunrise today, you will regret it when you think back to this day.
Jian Zirui nodded, and it was unclear whether it was a double entendre, but she said: "Although the hiking trail is only for one person, at other times, Qi Xueyi and I will not lag too far behind you.
"We will stand with you with all our strength.
After that, no one spoke on the path anymore, and some people just walked on the steps, making a rustling sound as the falling snow was squeezed.
When we reached the top of the mountain, we could already see the radiance in the sky.
They sat on the top of the mountain, the three of them huddled together, indistinguishable from one another, looking up toward the east.
The morning sun rises slowly, and the golden light completely illuminates the confusion before sunrise. !
