Chapter 25 Friendship

The screams of the strange spirits had been blocked out by He Jingtong himself.

The so-called desperate attack——

"It's still just unnecessary resistance."

He Jingtong's hand penetrated the entire body of the combined alien at a speed faster than the alien, and with the power gathered in his palm, he crushed the most important "core" with one hand.

It is like dust and ashes.

Those monsters who were once human beings and then transformed into spirits disappeared completely.

He Jingtong walked to the door of the passage, turned his head and looked at the environment that symbolized sin. In the end, he just captured a picture of what he saw, and turned away with steady steps.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor, and He Jingtong thought to himself that perhaps starting from tomorrow, this non-existent floor would completely disappear because of the "gas leak".

After walking up the hill and approaching the door, He Jingtong discovered that there was a talisman of Jian Zirui floating in the air in the invisible door frame area. A look of surprise flashed across his face, and then he laughed, realizing that the talisman was probably used to cover the existence of the door to prevent passers-by from suddenly appearing.

Compared to their own hypocrisy, Qi Xueyi and Jian Zirui have been good people hiding in the dark and contributing their own efforts to the whole world from beginning to end.

He Jingtong walked out of the passage. He took a rough look at himself. Apart from his tattered clothes and various bloody injuries, there was nothing that could really affect his mobility.

He Jingtong was satisfied that he no longer had to worry about scaring others by walking with his broken leg.

But then he heard a scream.

When I looked up, I realized it was a woman wearing a designer dress.

After a quick thought, he realized that this was probably an actress from the entertainment company. He Jingtong put on a smile again and said to her naturally, "My makeup is good, isn't it? The makeup artist spent a full five hours on it. It's much more complete than I thought."

“I just don’t know if the music videos shot with my image will be removed from the shelves by those music software.”

"Just makeup?" the actress said uncertainly.

He Jingtong nodded: "If I was really injured, I might not be able to move now."

"Speaking of which, there was a power outage just now." He Jingtong changed the subject, "I don't know how you are, but as for me, I plan to leave work early."

After He Jingtong finished speaking, he waved to the woman, turned his back to her and said, "I'm leaving first. Goodbye."

The actress was left standing there, lost in thought.

But after walking a few steps away, He Jingtong suddenly sighed.

Between leaving from the first floor by elevator while maintaining this image, or just getting a ride from someone and returning to the ground floor from the parking lot, the latter is obviously more appropriate.

He Jingtong turned around and looked at the actress again. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, you can see that the special effects makeup on me is indeed very scary. If you don't mind, can you pull me to the ground and I can take a taxi and leave by myself?"

"I always feel that taking the elevator back to the first floor and then looking for a taxi or something will easily scare more people."

The actress suddenly looked somewhat wary.

She looked at He Jingtong, who was about to leave but suddenly turned back. Seeing that she did not see any joy on He Jingtong's face, she tentatively asked, "Do you know who I am?"

"Well, although I shoot music videos, I don't actually pay much attention to entertainment companies. Sorry." He Jingtong smiled awkwardly and smoothed his slightly frizzy hair.

Perhaps it was this answer that made the actress relax. As a well-known actress, after she was sure that the good-looking boy in front of her was not a sasaeng fan, she ignored the weirdness of He Jingtong coming to the parking lot without a car.

She pointed to a low-profile Santana not far away and said, "This is my car. If you don't mind, I can take you out, but you can only sit in the back seat."

Even though she was sure that the other party was not a sasaeng fan and didn't even know who she was, the actress did not let her guard down.

There was a barrier between the front and back seats of her car, and when He Jingtong sat in the back seat, it was like adding a barrier between them, so that she would not accidentally encounter danger when she wanted to do good things.

He Jingtong quickly thanked him: "Thank you very much."

"Just drop me off where I can get a taxi."

After the person in the back seat was seated firmly and the car started, the actress said, "It's not appropriate to drop you off near the company. Who knows what kind of weird angles the paparazzi will take to suddenly capture me driving the car while I'm in the front seat."

He Jingtong was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the other party say, "If you want to go somewhere, I will take you there directly. But for the sake of privacy, it is best if you give me a street address. If a stranger like me knows your address, it will not be safe for you."

This is a clever statement. If he were a good person, his gratitude would only gradually increase. And if He Jingtong was not such a bad person, he would also feel guilty about this thoughtfulness.

And suppose he is a bad guy through and through...

There is no such possibility. It is not difficult for a female star to investigate an 18th-tier worker who shoots a music video.

After thinking about it for a while, He Jingtong gave the address of Elite College.

But then he also said, "I go to school there."

This could be considered as part of the information exchange. Even through the grid-like barrier, He Jingtong could see that the actress had visibly relaxed.

He did not say anything else afterwards, in order not to arouse the other party's vigilance. When the car arrived at the gate of the college, He Jingtong opened the back door and politely thanked the other party again: "Thank you very much for your help."

"As for my name... I'm sorry, it may not be appropriate to tell you this, because I hope you will never meet me because of my identity."

"Goodbye." He Jingtong waved at the departing car, but he did not ignore the fact that the actress tensed up for a moment after hearing his words.

"You should have guessed it." Guessed his identity.

Elite Academy is very famous in this city. Judging from the actress's attitude and the fact that she did not pay attention to his abnormality before and instead paid more attention to herself, it can also be revealed to He Jingtong that the actress should be quite famous.

In this case, the other party still has an extreme emotional aura that is infinitely close to abnormality... Coupled with her defensive attitude when she tested him before, He Jingtong can roughly guess that the other party is entangled by a sasaeng fan, and that sasaeng fan is likely to be a spirit...

It's not easy for everyone.

in this world.

People who know about supernatural beings need to prevent themselves from being harmed by them. People who do not know about supernatural beings may harm others or be harmed by them without being noticed.

Why is society so indifferent?

He Jingtong now feels that he has the answer to the issue of younger supernatural beings that Cui Tong has been concerned about.

Those who know put up walls to defend themselves, while those who don’t know follow the behavior patterns of their superiors and also show indifference to the outside world.

Over time, children who do not receive adequate care and are also guarded against will naturally develop spiritual tendencies.

The thought was fleeting, and He Jingtong dialed An Lai's phone number naturally.

.

The multi-view function is really useful. In addition to the ability to broadcast images, it also has the function of recording images. Therefore, He Jingtong at the moment can naturally check what happened to An Lai before.

While walking towards the campus, He Jing was watching the recorded broadcast.

The picture shows that after An Lai's ability was sealed by those uniformed men, he was sent directly back to the office.

Fu Zexun arrived at Anlai's office in the afternoon, which was the same time when He Jing and his colleagues had just arrived at the entertainment company.

Perhaps because he had lost his ability and sense of security, An Lai was very nervous when facing Fu Zexun.

When Fu Zexun asked tentatively, "Is it so uncomfortable to have your ability sealed?" An Lai replied, "It's not uncomfortable at all. It feels like you are asked to write with your left foot when you originally wrote with your right hand."

"There is something unbelievable in the absurdity." An Lai forced himself to smile.

Fu Zexun turned around and said, "I thought you were worried that I might do something bad to you."

He pointed out, "You're as stiff as that plastic skeleton in the school clinic."

An Lai didn't even dare to move now.

The person is still the familiar person. When Fu Zexun smiled, his eyes were slightly narrowed and were just covered by the frame.

In the past, An Lai always thought that this image of his was very happy, but now, every time Fu Zexun smiled, he looked like this, which seemed full of deliberateness.

The same thing happens countless times, not out of habit but out of control. What does that mean?

Afterwards, all that was left was an abnormally strong desire for control.

Why would such a person want to kill himself?

All An Lai could guess was that Fu Zexun wanted him to do something, but he refused to agree to it.

This is exactly what happened afterwards.

At the beginning of the normal chat, Fu Zexun intended to bring some sense of security to An Lai. But when he found that no matter what he did, An Lai could not be led into the state he wanted, Fu Zexun simply gave up giving An Lai a sense of security.

But once he found that stopping his actions made An Lai less nervous, the conclusion became obvious: An Lai was nervous because of his existence.

What happened?

People who had always considered him a close friend suddenly became wary of him.

Fu Zexun knew everything that happened to An Lai.

After all, he had been eyeing An Lai for a long time, and all the arrangements had been made a long time ago.

So why did he behave abnormally?

The speculation and temptation between the two men seemed to fill this office with 800 minds.

The only answer Fu Zexun could guess was that someone told An Lai something.

Fu Zexun didn't think that he had exposed himself. What he had done would never leave any traces in school, otherwise He Jingtong would not have gone out specifically to look for evidence.

So what is possible?

Fu Zexun was in the dark and could not think of the prophecy for the time being, but when he thought about his former collaborators who had never revealed to him the possibility of artificially creating spiritual masters, he thought that perhaps one of those collaborators had also contacted An Lai.

The reason why Fu Zexun covets An Lai's abilities is that his abilities are so widely applicable.

Not to mention that if modern society were to leave the Internet, the entire world would collapse and regress.

Just talking about Anlai's control over the network, he can completely simulate the progress of the supernatural experiment on the computer. Fu Zexun has hoped countless times to transform Anlai into a supernatural being and control him, because he believes that the other party's ability can save him a lot of effort and give him the natural power to fight against individuals, forces, and even countries.

Compared to An Lai who imprisoned himself in the office of Elite Academy and never went out, Fu Zexun always believed that this was purely the country's preferential treatment for talents.

If it were him, he would simply lock An Lai up in the most terrifying prison in the world, never release him, and never let him access any network or anyone.

Even to provide food to keep him alive, they would use helicopters to drop food from high altitudes.

An Lai possesses this level of danger, but the higher-ups recognize him as a human being and as possessing human nature, so they ignore the dangers.

But Fu Zexun has always felt that no one knows whether An Lai, who can kill humans and alien spirits by editing 0 and 1 programs, can control humans and alien spirits by editing 0 and 1.

Speaking of it, Fu Zexun initially had the idea of ​​controlling the spirits because he thought that An Lai had the potential to control the spirits.

If An Lai can do it through procedures, he can also do it through experiments.

But in the end, one of them did not do those big things, but imprisoned himself in the office forever, while the other one had already attacked the same kind of people, more than once.

Fu Zexun's eyes flickered as he said, "Did someone contact you recently and tell you something? Otherwise, why are you so wary of me?"

At that moment, An Lai felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

He tried his best to smile: "No."

"I'll just take it as what you said." Fu Zexun didn't intend to continue testing her with words, but instead took out the file he was carrying with him.

That file was the personal file of an ordinary science student that he had found in the archives room earlier.

An Lai's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he heard Fu Zexun say, "Can you help me check this classmate?"

Fu Zexun chose to test directly with files because his previous collaborators knew that he had targeted students from the Elite Academy.

Ordinary students don't suffer much. After all, ordinary students are only slightly better than criminals. They are not worthy of becoming truly powerful spirits.

But this does not mean that Fu Zexun will not target students in ordinary subjects.

Therefore, taking out this file and carefully observing An Lai's performance is to test whether An Lai has really contacted his "former" collaborators.

His pupils contracted, his body tensed, his left arm trembled violently and uncontrollably, his face turned pale, and his skin trembled...all these details made Fu Zexun's face darken little by little.

Smart people always think that their wisdom is unique, and what they observe and guess is always much more true than what others tell them.

Fu Zexun was certain at this time that An Lai knew what he had done.

He casually placed the document on the table, sat back in his chair, and the smile on his face disappeared.

He reached out and pushed the gold-rimmed glasses, which were stuck on his forehead. The originally drooping hair was pushed up high by the glasses.

Fu Zexun's narrow eyes were filled with danger, and he said word by word: "You know."

However, An Lai thought for a moment that Fu Zexun's words also implied that he knew He Jingtong had the ability to predict the future.

Even in this dangerous situation, An Lai is still worried that He Jingtong's hidden identity as a prophet will be exposed.

But after changing his mind and regaining his sanity, An Lai realized that what Fu Zexun meant was that he knew what he had done.

An Lai didn't want to think about it. Fu Zexun suddenly guessed what the possible logic was. He just pressed the mobile phone that he had always held in his hand again and sent an "l" to He Jingtong.

——Safe now.

At the same time, An Lai also maintained an expression that he only knew what Fu Zexun had done: "Yes, I know."

"Then why don't you report me?" Fu Zexun originally pulled a chair and sat down, crossing his legs, resting his right elbow on the armrest of the chair and supporting his head, but at this moment, he put his hands on the back of the chair.

If his original attitude was full of laziness and naturalness, then at this moment, Fu Zexun was filled with danger and undisguised arrogance.

He hid those things so that he could do his job better, but there was no need to continue hiding them after they were discovered.

It's still the same sentence. He did those things and he won't make excuses after being discovered.

"Instead, face me here."

"Could it be that you think that as a friend of many years, I will not hurt you who is now powerless?" Fu Zexun raised his eyelids slightly, and the darkness deep inside was no longer concealed.

"I've never thought about it that way. I just don't understand why you have to do that. If you really want to kill the spirits, or even make them never exist again, then you don't have to create them yourself."

"What is this?"

An Lai subjectively immersed himself in his emotions and completely blocked out the source of the information that it was He Jingtong's prophecy.

He let his thoughts run wild: "The dragon slayer eventually becomes the evil dragon? Don't you think what you're doing is really a joke?"

"From what I know, your experiment was originally intended to allow ordinary people to become spiritualists. You clearly wanted ordinary people to no longer be disturbed by spirits, and to prevent students from being forced to enter the adult world of money and power just for the so-called money and admission letters from prestigious schools."

"What was your original intention? How did you first come to the point where you could just take action against someone of your own kind?"

"I don't know who you first experimented on, but those people who allowed you to do it without any responsibility must have been the so-called evildoers, murderers? Rapists? Robbers? Kidnappers? No matter what type of criminals they were, they were all human beings at first! How could you completely ignore human nature and attack the same kind of people!?"

An Lai really vented his thoughts when he just learned that Fu Zexun was a human experimenter.

He actually knew that Fu Zexun was researching the creation of artificial spirit masters, but no one would have thought that this kind of research would eventually turn to humans and transform them into spirits...

"Is this painful for you?" Fu Zexun didn't raise his head, and his eyes were only looking at An Lai's waist and abdomen as he stood up.

"Because I'm your friend, you can't accept me doing those things?" He questioned in a gentle tone, but then spoke with a thunderous tone, "But why don't you, as a friend, recognize and subjectively think about the reasons why I did those things and the so-called correctness?"

"You have never considered it from my perspective, and you only stand on what the common people call justice and law, and question my behavior. Can I question it in return? You are unworthy of our friendship?"

Fu Zexun's tone was too calm afterwards. He didn't say these words to arouse An Lai's guilt.

Because there is no need.

He said these words just to disturb An Lai's mood.

"The law is just the minimum requirement for human morality. I never believe that we can be friends if we have different views." An Lai's tone was no longer sharp, like someone who would never be disappointed in his friends again.

Since I don't care, how can it cause any emotional fluctuations?

Besides, he himself is not the kind of person who has extreme love and hate.

Adults always think more and become more tactful. Once something like this comes up, they don’t consider the emotional venting brought about by extreme love and hate, but the troubles and losses that may be brought to themselves after such emotions appear.

Measuring is the best way for adults to stabilize their emotions.

Fu Zexun did not have any influence on An Lai, but he did disrupt the rhythm of his speech.

He kept on venting his emotions and talking loudly, so that he could delay and prolong the time, prolonging the time for He Jingtong, who would definitely take action and come to rescue him.

But once the mood calmed down, it meant that the office's main turf was transferred from An Lai to Fu Zexun.

"What you did meant that we could no longer be friends. And the reason I didn't report you was simply because there was no time." An Lai stated the facts indifferently.

Falsehood is always falsehood. No matter how strong Fu Zexun's control ability is, if he wants to gain the favor and help of others, he still needs to pay a little insignificant truth.

However, those insignificant truths pointed out the fact that he would always remain calm towards the things he used...

An Lai suddenly found it funny.

If you really discuss your friend's topic like a child, you will be completely confused.

Fu Zexun is the one with the most extreme emotions. Otherwise, how could he have turned a kind-hearted human-created psychic experiment into an artificially created spirit?

Because his ability was valued, Fu Zexun would only treat himself calmly when he was used...

This reality has already crushed everything that the word friendship represents.

"I won't give you any information about the child, and I won't provide you with any help, no matter what you do to me." An Lai suddenly wished he could die like this.

Otherwise, He Jingtong, who was destined to take action, and the child whose ability had been awakened for less than a month, would have to face Fu Zexun, who had been secretly plotting for who knows how many years.

Fu Zexun laughed. The sound was clear and pleasant at first, just like the laugh he made to other people in the past. But later on, it became more and more arrogant, more and more wanton, even terrifying.

After his laughter stopped abruptly, he, with all his strength, rushed to An Lai at an extremely fast speed. An Lai's dynamic vision was able to respond, but his body functions could not keep up.

He knocked An Lai unconscious.

Afterwards, the mobile phone that fell to the ground with the screen lit up was picked up by Fu Zexun.

Thinking it was some kind of code, he looked at the interval between the previous two messages. When another two hours had passed, he replied with a cold expression, "1".

The scene returns to He Jingtong's surroundings.

After An Lai was knocked unconscious and Fu Zexun sent the number 1 message, the two people, one conscious and one unconscious, stayed in the office for more than ten minutes.

This is not waiting for Jian Zirui and Qi Xueyi to arrive, but Fu Zexun is thinking about whether to directly transform An Lai into a spirit, or erase his memory and wait for some time.

However, rather than erasing the memory, it is better to say that Fu Zexun only controlled the alien spirits he could use and used the "illusion" characteristics to obscure An Lai's memory.

The recent timing is very delicate.

Rather than saying that the Jiang Nan incident just passed, it would be more accurate to say that it has just begun to ferment in the school, and perhaps it has not even had time to be passed on to the ears of other students in the paranormal department.

If he were to attack An Lai directly now, Fu Zexun would have to face a problem.

One is that his current research has not yet achieved the goal of allowing a spiritualist to retain his previous abilities after being transformed into a spirit.

To attack Anlai right now would be to directly discard the card of Yu Anlai. Neither the academy nor the country, nor Fu Zexun, would be able to use his abilities.

This is equivalent to destroying the neutral SSR.

The second is that once he takes action against An Lai at this point in time, he must ensure that his actions thereafter are more covert.

It is so hidden that there is no possibility of leakage.

But this is impossible.

Since An Lai already knew that he was conducting human experiments in private, there was no guarantee that his former collaborators would not contact other people, such as Cui Tong.

This wrong guess made Fu Zexun extend his thinking based on this point, and he had to be prepared to be discovered and be wanted and hunted down after taking action.

But the problem came back to the first point. He couldn't do it at the moment. After An Lai was transformed into a spirit, his abilities were fully retained.

The last and most important point made him decide to stop harming An Lai.

After the Jiang Nan incident, the level of vigilance within the academy is gradually increasing. If An Lai encounters problems again at this time, the academy will lose its safety authority among students, and the academy and even the country behind it will raise the vigilance of those who secretly harmed An Lai to a dangerous level that Fu Zexun cannot resist at the moment.

Therefore, the best way is to use the magic of the spirits to cover up the memory of An Lai whose abilities are sealed and make him the same as an ordinary person.

For at least a month, Fu Zexun can still hide in the academy.

Of course, this is based on the fact that An Lai's source of intelligence is indeed Fu Zexun's former collaborators.

The fact is that He Jingtong, who has the comic plot in hand, has already asked his two classmates to return to Elite College with the materials.

He Jingtong also has his own purpose.

This is a game played across space.

Fu Zexun's advantage is that he has been lurking for many years and has many controllable spirits.

What He Jingtong possessed was the comic book that symbolized the future.

When Qi Xueyi and Jian Zirui arrived at the office with the documents, He Jingtong had already anticipated the subsequent scene.

At that moment, when He Jingtong walked into the college gate, the two people at the other end suddenly confronted Fu Zexun.

He Jingtong even saw the scene he wanted to see the most before arriving at the teacher's office building -

That is, the memory display scene that occurred when Fu Zexun controlled the alien spirits, used his illusion ability, mobilized An Lai's memories, and tried to erase and cover up the memories.

The scene in which He Jingtong was in Anlai's office, telling Anlai that he would die at the hands of Fu Zexun.

It was reappearing in mid-air, and was not only discovered by Fu Zexun, but also seen by Jian Zirui and Qi Xueyi who happened to rush over with documents in hand. !
