Chapter 170 Destiny
There are many people who self-destruct, but not that many.
At least among all the people in the Elite Academy, only Xijun did not persevere.
He shouldn't have been the only one. After all, to be the head teacher of the third grade of Yingcai School, Jun Xi naturally had his own strong character.
In fact, rather than saying that Lu Xijun was ultimately forced by various facts to choose to self-destruct, it is better to say that he was like an alien spirit and wanted to try to cause some damage to the alien spirit by sacrificing himself.
After all, the depravity and fall into the abyss of human nature all stem from their instinctive belief that the evil spirits are invincible.
And if you can cause some damage to the spirit, some obvious damage, even if the spirit will recover in the end, it will only be regarded as a spirit with stronger healing power, not as something that is absolutely unbeatable.
But the reality is cruel and he failed.
The result of death then becomes final.
There is not even any trace of the figure named "Alien Ling Xijun".
When this result was brought to Tan Dong who stayed behind, she said she could not accept it.
But there was no such thing as a heart-wrenching roar or a reckless emotional outburst. She just couldn't understand why it had become like this.
Looking back on He Jingtong's life, it should have been just the beginning when he entered Elite Academy.
But the second grade is not over yet, and even the New Year is not here yet...
Everything has become what it is now.
Transfiguration does not leave a corpse behind, and the same is true for self-destruction.
When standing in front of the cenotaph, Tan Dong vowed to kill the evil spirit.
In addition to her, the other two people who came to worship, Qi Xueyi and Jian Zirui, were also ready to sacrifice their lives to kill the alien spirits.
Jian Zirui's original words were: "My goal in life was also to kill the spirits, but the goal was extended to a lifetime, to a few decades that I didn't know when it would end."
"Now I choose to do my best, even burning my life to kill the aliens, which is also a life... although it may not be that long. But as long as the value of life is not judged by the length of life, even if I die tomorrow, on the road to hunting down aliens, I will not regret it."
Their oaths, the meaning in their eyes, the bodies that were heavily imprisoned after giving up the future——
Even if it's just the system, I still feel heavy-hearted when seeing such a scene.
Since the inhuman silicon-based creatures began to establish an equal dialogue relationship with "He Jingtong", they were no longer just pure observers.
So the system also asked: [Will you regret it? ]
[The existence and personality of the spirits, the kind of thing that is based on another side that has nothing to do with human nature, he, or the other you, you don't care at all whether he kills your companions. ]
[At this time, there is no need to criticize or explain human nature. All I want to know is, how can this ruined situation be rebuilt, or...destroyed more thoroughly?]
"You should continue watching quietly. Time will give answers to all your questions." The alien spirit didn't care too much about the system's gaze, but continued to observe the screen of the multi-view function.
In the shot, the humans quickly made a decision.
First, maintain the status quo, respond to changes with constancy, be prepared to face "alien spirits" head-on at any time, and be prepared for the possibility of death at any time.
In addition, Cui Tong also said the second point: "If you are not ready for those complicated situations, then be prepared to become a spirit."
"That's nothing bad. It's just the desire of human beings to survive in the end. And if you are worried that the spirits you generate will affect other living spiritual masters... then don't worry too much."
"It doesn't matter if you become a ghost. It's just an afterimage that will appear after you die. While you're still alive, there's no need to worry about what you'll become after you die."
"It may sound dull, but I still hope that no matter whether you encounter a supernatural being head-on or not, you will try your best to survive."
Every word and every sentence came out of Cui Tong's throat, but each word was as sharp as a blade.
The words spoken may seem encouraging, but in reality they are nothing more than self-harming behavior that repeatedly hurts oneself.
"You must live well and wait for a turning point—"
"What now? Mr. Cui... Mr. Teacher..." a student asked with clenched fists, "What should we do now?"
"Even though we know our abilities are too weak to fight against aliens, we still have to do something, right?"
"Even a little bit is fine..."
Cui Tong was silent.
Of course, he could say all kinds of polite words, telling everyone to work hard to become stronger, and perhaps the current efforts would turn into a turning point in the future...
But such words are too weak.
None of the three S-class died at that moment, but they were the most devastated. Cui Tong always understood this.
Xi Hongjing wanted to be strong. No matter whether she left her family, became the head of a special department, or became one of the three S-levels, she always tried her best to become stronger and stronger...
The realm has been learned, and the reserve of its own soul power is far beyond the A-level. The individual combat ability, just in terms of destructive power, can turn a 30-story office building into ruins with just one blow...
She was proud of this power and considered herself strong. But in the face of the truly weird and unbelievable strength, Xi Hongjing retreated.
On the split screen opened by the multi-view function, Cheng Chujie was holding Xi Hongjing's wrist tightly. She tried to pull her up from the bed, but Xi Hongjing shook her off more than once.
The latter curled up in bed, with obvious devastation in his eyes.
She shouted at Cheng Chuzhe: "What's the point of you pulling me again!"
"Only you and the people in the school think we still have a chance to defeat the aliens..."
"That's impossible! You are not so naive as to really think that An Lai has disappeared, right?"
"The teacher at Elite Academy was clearly wiped out from this world!"
Xi Hongjing's eyes were full of bloodshot, and her pupils were constricted. She pinched the quilt with her left hand too hard, causing her nails to turn outward, staining the white quilt with bright red spots.
"This means that the alien has mastered time—"
"He has mastered the time!" The frustration on Xi Hongjing's face became more and more obvious. She kicked her legs randomly, wantonly venting her bad emotions. "That is something that even He Jingtong has not mastered, does not understand, and can't even peek into!"
"If He Jingtong knew about this future, he would definitely tell everyone and would definitely try his best to stop it. He would even... definitely choose to commit suicide before he completely turned into a spirit."
"Do you know what you are saying?" Cheng Chuzhe's tired eyes flashed with disbelief, "No matter how bad the current situation is, no matter how invincible the spirits are, you can't put the blame on He Jingtong, who is still a human, or even question why he didn't choose to commit suicide earlier..."
"That's just what you said!" Xi Hongjing shouted back.
The red bloodshot in her eyes added a hint of horror to her originally dignified and bright face: "I am referring to the spirits that can control time, which is enough to affect the past in the present, and also enough to make He Jingtong in the past have no understanding or knowledge of the spirits in the present."
"I'm referring to... the spirit that controls time, which can affect the fate of countless people, just to make He Jingtong become a spirit in the end..."
This is what made Xi Hongjing most upset.
Her perspective and the power she possesses allow her to see more than other A-level psychics.
At that moment, Xi Hongjing was so angry that she bit the soft flesh on the inside of her lips until it was rotten. After letting the rusty taste fill her mouth, she sneered and said with a pair of red eyes, "Do you know what fate is?"
"Or in other words, do you really understand what fate means to He Jingtong?"
Xi Hongjing's face was as gloomy as the sky before a heavy rain. Her eyes were dim and her voice unconsciously lowered: "If your theory of cause and effect can see everything, then you should understand that as long as the legendary spirit that can control time appears at this moment, then all of He Jingtong's efforts will be ineffective--"
"Do you understand? All the efforts He Jingtong made to save people, all the actions he did to hold those spiritual masters back with all his strength, from the beginning, from now on, and from the end..."
"This was all guided by the spirits!"
"If He Jingtong didn't do that, if he didn't go to save people, if the prophecy he had was just a simple prophecy, and not the memory instilled by the alien spirit in the current timeline, then how could He Jingtong be subjected to the alien spirit experiment by Fu Zexun in the end?"
"As long as the alien possesses the ability of time, it can allow He Jingtong to become him countless times."
“Time is the absolute power that controls the past, present and future. Legends are the possibilities that come after all the impossibilities are combined!”
"At this moment, he said that he wanted all human beings to become spiritualized, which means that in our future, in his 'present', that is the fact."
Cheng Chuzhe's mouth twitched several times, but he finally said unwillingly: "What, what do you mean...?"
"You understand, right?" Xi Hongjing threw the quilt to the ground, her voice faintly crying, "Spirits with the ability to control time have long been out of the reach of fate."
"For him, time no longer has the relationship between past, present and future. Perhaps our present has always been the past of the alien spirit."
"How can a person fight back from the present?"
It was a sound that could be described as heart-wrenching.
The more I see, the more devastated I become; the more I know, the crazier I become.
"He Jingtong and I are not that familiar with each other. I just heard from Cui Tong that fate may never favor He Jingtong. But judging from the current situation, it is not so much that fate has never favored him, but rather that the spirit equivalent to fate has always kept its eyes on him."
Xi Hongjing's consciousness was already standing on the edge of the cliff, and her actions also made her stand up from the bed with her arms open, as if she was a young eagle ready to face the hurricane and rainstorm.
But hurricanes and heavy rains would only crush and drown her.
"If there is no He Jingtong, there will be no alien spirits. And as long as alien spirits exist, He Jingtong will definitely exist."!
