Chapter 116 Alternative

Yuan Ying and Ye Rui, who had won the first and second place in the math competition, made an appointment to keep in touch online in the future.

Afterwards, He Jingtong and others returned the same way they had come to North City.

Getting on the bus, boarding the plane, and transferring to school, everything happened naturally and peacefully.

Back in the city where it wasn't that cold and where thicker windbreakers were most suitable in this season, Jian Zirui had a vague sense that everything that had happened in North City before had become a memory.

She got off the car, looked at the school gate, and suddenly smiled. Then she turned around and said to her teammates, "Next winter when it's colder, if we have time, let's go to North City together again."

Qi Xueyi raised his hand and said, "I can do either."

He Jingtong also nodded: "If there is time."

Jian Zirui nodded to show that she understood, and then she kept this agreement deep in her heart.

After returning to school, December has officially begun.

During the class, the students also received a general account from Tan Dong about the incident that occurred at the execution site.

Tan Dong, standing on the stage, told all the students: "From today on, our country has four S-level spiritualists."

There was an uproar in the audience: "Wow! I never thought the legend would come true, and there are so many of them at once."

“I feel more secure.”

"But this is relative. There were no S-rank spirits before."

Tan Dong heard the lively discussion in the audience and smiled quietly without saying anything.

She placed the documents on the table, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "In addition to telling you this, in case you have no information channels and hearsay, you are confused, I have one more thing to say..."

“I have a bad feeling.”

"It feels like something is going to happen..."

"Whether it's Lao Cui, Teacher Tan, or Teacher Jing, as long as any of them shows this attitude, I feel like I'm going to be in trouble."

"Me too."

However, this time the students who were discussing below kept their voices low so as not to be heard by Tan Dong above.

So she pretended not to hear these little words and just said, "Before you went on the trip, the academy had already contacted the paranormal department members of many schools."

"Some things don't need to be explained again and again, but it is still necessary to emphasize to you. That is, not every ordinary person can so naturally accept the destruction of their three views and then reshape them."

"Both the academy and the government are strengthening education and information, but this method... you should also understand that it takes time to promote the establishment of cognition."

Whether it is traveling or talking about what happens after winter, it accelerates this way of time moving forward.

"So, as the spiritualists who are at the forefront of the spiritual science field, you who have come from the spiritualist education system, all of you need to tell the world that the existence of spiritualists and spiritual beings that we talk about is never false."

"The purpose behind this is to hold a multi-school league. The league will be broadcast live to showcase the spiritualists and their power to the world."

"Our purpose is not simply to show ordinary people how powerful we are and force them not to become spirits by force. Rather, we want to tell them that even if the beings around them become spirits, they can still be adequately protected."

This causal relationship is important.

Students must also be informed of the true purpose of the league.

Rather than saying friendship comes first and competition comes second.

Since a competition is a competition, it is a competition. The rankings in a competition are clearly defined, and repeatedly saying that friendship comes first will only make you look hypocritical.

"The purpose of this league is to show the public that the power of the spiritualists is trustworthy. Therefore, rather than giving in to each other, I would like to see your courage to fight for the first place. Secondly, our strength will only be used for protection, but this kind of performance will inevitably face doubts."

"If some private media ask you harsh and sharp questions, please keep your sanity and don't forget that we are spiritual masters and don't need to face doubts."

At this point, the students in the audience seemed a little depressed.

It’s not because I don’t look forward to the multi-school league competition mode, but because Tan Dong said too much.

In order to emphasize the point, she spoke every word with extreme seriousness and in an official tone.

In short, the listener is very tired, and the speaker is not relaxed either.

When Tan Dong let out a breath, he whispered: "Perhaps I can reasonably suspect that Lao Cui asked me to say this not to give the socially anxious people courage, but he may simply not want to waste his breath..."

How she wanted to say that this was the job of the class teacher!

Gathering all his thoughts, Tan Dong coughed and said, "Let's go to class. Today's schedule is... The first class is..."

Class starts and ends.

The cell phone, which had been on silent mode, suddenly vibrated at some point.

He Jingtong opened it and found a lot of information popping up at once.

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Liu Shuyu for the information he had asked Xijun to tell me.

If we are not prepared in advance, the eighteen alien spirits born at the same time and the sudden appearance of the S-level alien spirit will probably cause heavy casualties.

Feeling thankful, He Jingtong typed back: "I didn't do anything. This is all your hard work."

On the other side, Liu Shuyu, who received the message first, looked at his mobile phone, and his originally heavy mood relaxed a lot.

The students knew only good news, such as the emergence of three new S-level spiritualists.

But according to this set of data, eight spiritual masters have died.

Liu Shuyu could afford to ask them for help, but she couldn't afford eight lives.

Words of comfort have been spoken by countless people before.

An acquaintance of the deceased also told Liu Shuyu: "We have never regretted it."

But it's not a question of whether they regret it or not.

But she could not forgive herself, could not forgive her own weakness, and even her incompetence.

She clearly had life-saving equipment, but she didn't think of letting anyone use it at the time.

Even if there is a reason to explain that only three could be made, and one of them was given to He Jingtong...

Liu Shuyu still couldn't help but blame herself.

But she was not someone who would wallow in sorrow, so after receiving the young man's reply, she sat up from the hospital bed, propped herself up on the wheelchair, and began to visit other spiritual masters who had not yet recovered.

At the same time, her other two teammates also started to take action.

Lu Xue took on the entire explanation and reporting of the incident, as well as the organization of resources for subsequent compensation, and then decisively buried herself in work hell.

He Wanjin, who was originally planning to take responsibility for all this, was kicked out of the office by her, who told him to go and hire someone.

"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, but spiritual leaders have been lying in the hospital for three months. The community systems in many places have temporarily collapsed."

He Wanjin touched his nose helplessly, and finally contacted Cui Tong, saying that he wanted to second Qi Xueyi.

After Qi Xueyi received the news, he told his two teammates, "I'll be back soon," before getting in the car to go to the hospital.

He Jingtong showed a confused expression.

Qi Xueyi was about to explain when the "N" member who was driving the car urged him to go: "Go early and come back early."

Helpless, he could only leave a sentence: "Wait for me to come back."

Jian Zirui waved at the car that was spewing exhaust fumes. Then she turned to look at He Jingtong standing next to her and quickly explained a few words.

"Healing abilities like Qi Xueyi's are too rare. You may have heard before that his healing ability is rated S-level. This level does not involve the level of spiritual power, but simply refers to the talent level of his ability."

"At that time, the meaning of S specifically refers to the fact that he can heal all the spiritualists in the world. However, now that S-level spiritualists have appeared, it is a little uncertain whether this healing ability can still be applied to S-level spiritualists."

"This is all I know. Let's wait for him to come back and tell us the rest." Jian Zirui only said some basic things. She still remembered what Qi Xueyi said, "Wait for me to come back."

I never expected that my two classmates would actually wait for two whole days.

There are too many people who need treatment.

Think of soul power as a mana bar. If you want to heal someone, it is equivalent to exchanging your mana bar for someone else's health bar.

The power of the soul will eventually run out, and even then it still needs treatment, so all you can do is wait for the power to recover and then start a new round of treatment.

But even so, during the two days and two nights, Qi Xueyi's total sleep time was no more than ten hours.

When he came back, he looked completely hollow and weak.

He Jingtong asked him why he had to be so anxious, and it would be fine even if the time was slowed down to three days.

But Qi Xueyi said at that time: "I just can't do it. Seeing those seniors lying in bed, suffering from illness and suffering, I always feel that we spiritual masters should be bright and cheerful."

"So I chose to push myself. And it's just staying up late occasionally, it's no big deal. Besides, Lao Cui also approved a leave for me, so I can sleep all day and all night."

After saying this, Qi Xueyi drank a glass of water to relieve the dryness in his throat.

At this moment, the three of them were gathered in the living room of the small western-style building.

After the dormitory building cracked, they all moved to the teachers' apartment.

The three of them lived in the same building at this time.

The gurgling sound of swallowing water ended. Qi Xueyi put down the cup, wiped his mouth, and continued: "I have seen the three new S-level spiritual masters, but it may be because they have not had time to get used to the realm yet, so their performance is not very good..."

.

At that time, after Qi Xueyi was brought to the ward, the first person he faced was the one who used the thorns.

The person on the bed was in her thirties, with a cool temperament and a mature look. She told Qi Xueyi: "My ability is to materialize the power of the soul and turn it into thorns."

"But I don't know why, I seem to be in the same state as He Yu's senior."

Qi Xueyi looked at her in confusion.

The person on the bed smiled bitterly: "I also can't achieve another form of the realm, which is a specific attack against a single individual."

In that battle, eight people should not have died. The reason for this number of casualties was that after the alien spirit Su Qing found that three people were able to use the realm, he chose to burn his boats.

He began to use the domain's ability to attack single targets, and forcibly tore a hole in the crowd, then ran away with the alien spirit Fu Zexun.

During this period, the three people who opened the realm chose to stop them and tried to kill them.

But for some reason, even if half of the alien spirit Su Qing's body was destroyed, it was still impossible to accurately kill it. Even the alien spirit Fu Zexun who was protected by the alien spirit Su Qing could not be killed.

What is this?

Back in the present, Qi Xueyi told his two teammates: "That lady looked like she was about to cry."

"Also, somehow she got to know the news about He Jingtong's previous outbreak of the single realm."

Qi Xueyi realized it belatedly and added, "It could be intelligence sharing or something like that."

He Jingtong, who understood some hidden messages, said: "I don't care if other people know about me."

What Qi Xueyi just added was that he hoped He Jingtong would not feel unhappy because of the leakage of his own information.

He Jingtong's explanation also indirectly told Qi Xueyi that he could say everything he wanted to say in one breath.

Qi Xueyi understood.

He simply told out everything he knew in one breath.

"That lady hopes that I can help her ask you about the specific manifestations of the single-body realm."

"They are not short of soul power. When they release it over a large area, it will not be drained all at once."

"The difficulty is that there is no way to perform a single attack."

At that time, the alien spirit Su Qing, who used puppets, broke the limbs of dozens of spiritual masters at once.

But he couldn't kill so many spiritualists in an instant.

It was not until the alien spirit Su Qing made a desperate move and used his ability on one person that he was able to quickly kill the spiritualist and even extend the number to eight.

"At present, the only one who can target a single explosion domain is you. They have no experience, and those who have truly felt being targeted by a single entity... have all died one after another."

The air suddenly became stagnant and silent.

Qi Xueyi took a deep breath and said, "Those spiritual masters said that if possible, they hope you can demonstrate the use of the single realm in front of them once."

"I personally don't agree with you doing this, but I have promised to tell her, so I will not choose to cover up this part of the demand. But at the same time, I will definitely stop you from performing."

Qi Xueyi was a man who attached great importance to contractual relationships. His tone was urgent, but his firmness was hard to ignore.

Qi Xueyi and Jian Zirui both knew that He Jingtong's soul transformation had reached one third.

Whether it was the previous live broadcast or the dormitory building cracking incident.

There are too many differences between these two events, but what they have in common is that He Jingtong used a power that he should not have been able to use.

He Jingtong's soul power, that is, the total value of the blue bar, is currently only A-level.

It is not difficult to understand that the boy can use a realm that A-level spiritualists cannot use.

The depths of He Jingtong's soul had already been filled with space fragments of S-rank lazy spirits.

Under this premise, before he used the realm for the first time, that is, when He Jingtong received the physical examination report from Tan Dong after he was experimented by Fu Zexun.

At that time, the degree of his soul transformation was only 13%.

One live broadcast incident and one dormitory building crack incident caused the number to soar by 30%.

The speed of soul transformation will only get faster and faster.

This is the conclusion reached by all teachers and professional doctors.

Qi Xueyi simply calculated that each time the realm was activated, the degree of soul transformation would be increased by 10%.

With this calculation, He Jingtong can only use the realm seven more times at most, and this is still a relatively good result.

Qi Xueyi conservatively estimated that he would only need to use it five more times before He Jingtong would be infinitely equivalent to a spirit.

The sixth and seventh times...

Or one day, by chance, when a snowflake falls...

The boy will completely lose his human body and face inevitable death.

These thoughts made Qi Xueyi shudder. He was afraid.

He was afraid that He Jingtong, who was standing in front of him now, would suddenly cease to be a human one day and become the enemy of all spiritual masters.

All three of them fell silent at this time.

Jian Zirui, who was sitting on the sofa at the side, had a dim look in her eyes that made it difficult to see clearly.

The silence was broken by her in an instant: "What do you think, He Jingtong? I guess you probably think that you should be able to use the realm a few more times."

"I will just treat it as those spiritual masters who only know that you can use the realm, but don't know that once you use that power, it will deepen your spiritualization."

"We can tell them things they don't know, right?"

Jian Zirui's eyes were sharp, and she rarely chose to warn or even force He Jingtong.

"Don't do that. The danger level of the alien Su Qing is indeed extraordinary, but the situation is not so bad that you have to sacrifice yourself."

"Performance or something, what do they take you for?"

"I don't look down on entertainers, and I don't make any professional distinctions, but I think their attempts to get you to use your boundaries are extremely offensive."

Jian Zirui raised her voice and emphasized: "This is extremely offensive!"

"They can ask you about your experience and feelings of using the single-body realm, and can also proactively add your contact information. When you encounter difficulties, they can ask you questions and seek your answers. These can be discussed instead of asking you to perform something!"

Jian Zirui's emotions were out of control.

She herself knew this would happen.

Since she began to subjectively destroy the seal left by Taoist Jian, the spirits that Jian Zirui could see became clearer.

She can see He Jingtong's ghost.

The appearance of that strange spirit was exactly the same as the current scene, like a mirror image.

The only difference is that He Jingtong's white soul power, which was different from that of others, turned black.

Pure black, as if it could swallow everything.

That kind of black color always surrounds the body of the alien spirit He Jingtong...

This kind of vision is definitely not a prophecy, right?

She can just see the animistic appearance of humans.

In the fate line where Yuanying died, didn’t she also not turn into a ghost?

All kinds of problems turned into Jian Zirui's inner prayers.

She didn't want to suppress her emotions anymore.

Another meaning of humility is that it is not overly prominent, as it is always shown in Jian Zirui.

Although Jian Zirui's strength is unconcealable in the eyes of other students, she often puts herself in a less important position when she is with her teammates.

Even if there is occasional weight, it will not easily allow you to go beyond that one-third.

This is her lifestyle and habit.

But when the emotions get out of control, everything behaves completely differently.

Her words turned into the most overbearing remarks, wantonly invading the hearts of her two teammates.

"What do they take you for?"

"Let Qi Xueyi come and help pass on the message?"

“Because we are students, should we be looked down upon?”

Qi Xueyi explained: "That's not the case. Choosing He Jingtong to perform is just one of the options. They are also working hard to overcome the problem of not being able to use the single body domain."

"So can this also mean that He Jingtong is just a backup option?"

"Because he is a backup, there is no need to worry about the impact of He Jingtong, an A-level spiritualist, using the realm. So there is no need to worry about why he can use the realm even though he is an A-level spiritualist."

"I don't believe they aren't curious, and I don't believe they don't have a chance to understand. But whether they are subjectively indifferent, or still ask you to help pass on the message after knowing it..."

Jian Zirui looked at her two teammates expressionlessly: "Don't you think they are both too much?"

Qi Xueyi wanted to say that Jian Zirui thought too much, but he knew that it was not that she thought too much, but that he thought too little.

Every time I treat patients, I can’t help but pay attention to the injuries on the spiritual masters.

Watching scenes like this again and again, I can only marvel at their greatness and not believe that they have any ulterior motives.

But until now.

Suddenly I realized that adults are not so pure.

"Do you, do you care about me?" He Jingtong asked this question in a somewhat strange way.

His expression was filled with inhumanity, somewhat uncontrolled and ruthless, as if God was watching humans. It was like an insurmountable ditch, but also like divinity.

"Of course I care." Qi Xue said without thinking. This was a conditioned reflex response that transcended his thinking ability.

Jian Zirui also suppressed her intense emotions and said after calming down: "We are teammates and brothers to each other."

"Do you think I would allow my siblings to destroy themselves?"

"That's enough." He Jingtong suddenly interrupted Jian Zirui's heavy mood and said, "I won't perform for them."

"Since our cognition is pure, there is no need to become as complex as theirs."

"Just pretend they don't know. If they don't know, we'll tell them. If they know and still bring it up, we'll reject it."

"I do think about how many people would be in danger if there were no spiritualists who could confront the alien Su Qing head-on. But I also don't think that this phenomenon can be improved by just showing my single realm once."

"I'm not a saint, and I won't lose myself unless the situation is extremely bad." He Jingtong looked at his two teammates with seriousness in his pupils.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't do that."

But you will feel bad.

It is uncomfortable to be a prophet, and it is also uncomfortable to be an artificial spiritualist.

It's like you have the ability to take that gamble, but because your body can't support it, you have to give up.

This emotion would not be very strong, but Qi Xueyi and Jian Zirui also knew that this emotion would definitely exist. !
