Chapter 61 Purgatory

At first, not many teachers saw the book, until one of them held his breath, and then the others noticed something was wrong and looked in the direction of his sight...

"What is that?" An Lai widened his eyes.

He Jingtong was silent for a moment as he looked in the direction of sight.

The hearts of others were also lifted up involuntarily.

"It's not a big deal. My family asked me to learn painting when I was a kid." He Jingtong explained briefly and took another look at the book on the bedside table. "It's probably a product of some Chuunibyou."

An Lai didn't believe it, but he couldn't argue with him because of his distrust. In the end, he just said, "...Can I take a look?"

But this time, He Jingtong's silence no longer seemed so hidden.

Everyone could see that he lowered his head.

An Lai immediately wanted to take back what he had just said, and quickly said, "It doesn't matter if it's not convenient for me to see it."

"It's not a question of convenience or inconvenience." This book was placed here by He Jingtong a long time ago.

His choice to take it out meant that he had anticipated the situation.

I'm just saying that compared to showing the comic book images to a certain person, there are really too many teachers nowadays.

Being beautiful, strong and tragic is an extremely beautiful character setting, but the tragic part can be there, but not too much.

Too much would be greasy for anyone.

If the audience has been hurt for a long time and the comics cannot provide a relief, then the story will just become something that makes a person feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable even when it is mentioned.

This is not the kind of obsession that arises after feeling resentful.

In particular, as the villain, Fu Zexun has been suffering mostly attacks from the outside world.

Although everyone knows that He Yunian is He Jingtong's grandfather, are they really 100% on the same side?

This problem had already been foreshadowed in the comics even before Fu Zexun went crazy.

No one would regard He Yunian as the same as He Jingtong.

If the strength from the other person cannot be reflected in oneself, then the strength among beauty and tragedy will completely lose its color.

"It's not a matter of convenience or inconvenience." He Jingtong repeated it again, emphasizing what he wanted to say in a simple, even somewhat unnatural manner to others.

"It's just an insignificant comic book."

He Jingtong lowered his head, and others could not see his expression clearly.

No matter how good his eyesight was, Cui Tong couldn't use such an ability on students, and he could only see He Jingtong's slightly trembling eyelashes.

"The plot setting is not that great, and the story is also very average. I'm working hard to revise it. I want to make it a story that everyone can accept and like." He Jingtong finally raised his head and said with a smile.

"But in this world, there is no story that everyone will like. If some people like it, there will always be others who hate it." My intuition told me that the so-called comic book contained too many things.

Others may have been reluctant, or they may have been familiar with He Jing, and even if it was not a subjective understanding, they were forced to understand.

In comparison, the only ones I had little contact with were Lu Xijun and He Jingtong.

It wouldn't seem so out of place for him to play the bad guy.

Mr. Xi understood, and continued, "And since you want to draw a story that everyone likes, you can also take the readers' opinions into consideration, right?"

Finally, He Jingtong took the book out from the bedside table and handed it to An Lai personally.

Perhaps it was because his actions were too serious. In addition to being confused, Qi Xueyi always felt that something was being extended and unfolded in the scene that he saw but whose details he was not clear about.

"Can I, can I take a look at it together?" Qi Xueyi didn't know why he said this, but he didn't intend to take it back. "I want to take a look too. After all, the person on the cover really looks like He Jingtong. As a teammate, please give me a chance to laugh at his chuunibyou."

Although he said it lightly and jokingly, all the teachers could see the seriousness on his face.

"Let's leave first." Cui Tong's intuition also told him that some things could not be unfolded in front of He Jingtong.

Although to this child, maybe he knows everything.

An Lai was probably the one who understood this best, so he reluctantly agreed to let them come to the dormitory together.

Could He Jingtong see that An Lai had told other teachers that he was a prophet?

In An Lai’s own understanding, yes, he can.

The decision to hand the comic book to them at that moment seemed to have too many hidden meanings.

But those inexplicable tacit things weigh heavily on people's hearts.

But what people feel is not a depressing weight, but a sense of security and even gratitude.

Just because He Jingtong neither refused nor avoided it.

He chose to face the exposure of his own abilities, so he didn't think there was any point for everyone to continue pretending to be ignorant.

Whether it is so-called courage or something else, we can see it in He Jingtong.

Although it is hidden, although it is no longer as straightforward and brilliant as the protagonist of a hot-blooded youth comic.

When the things he has been worrying about happen to him, He Jingtong never backs down.

Cui Tong finally left a sentence: "Have a good rest."

Afterwards, everyone, including Qi Xueyi, left.

What's the point of showing them comic books, especially the ones that you've changed?

He Jingtong threw the paper cup filled with water into the trash can. Listening to the questioning voice of the system, the boy calmly replied: "It's better to talk about the effect rather than the meaning."

"It is inevitable that destiny can be changed, as evidenced by the results."

"But the ability to predict is too illusory. If this ability must have an indicator, then compared to what I say, nothing is more real than the actual comics."

There was no expression on He Jingtong's face, and every word he uttered was the result of rational thinking.

"It is also easier to arouse the desires of others and make them want to compete for it."

"Otherwise, after the death internship is over, how can we continue to promote the new "Alien"?"

[Don’t tell me you think it’s time for Fu Zexun to die.] The entire system was dumbfounded.

At least from the system's point of view, it should be a long time before Fu Zexun dies.

However, after hearing these words, the system did not question He Jingtong's actions, but instantly thought that He Jingtong was laying the groundwork for a new plot after Fu Zexun's death.

"The system probably doesn't have human emotions or accurate cognition." He Jingtong suddenly brought up a topic that caught the system off guard.

[…Why do you say that?] The system was touched in the heart, but it was also glad that it was just a system and had no human body, so He Jingtong would not be able to observe its detailed expression.

"If you take it more seriously, you will know that although I am the protagonist of "Alien", the core is the alien."

"The story's name is already revealed."

"Compared to the current power system, which seems to be sealed, He Yunian, my grandfather, has been truly opened up since he was named an S-level spiritual master in the entire country and even the world. It is not just a small part of it."

Are ghosts really just the aftermath of human extinction?

Should all of them really die while still retaining their memories?

On the other hand, many teachers finally stopped using Anlai's office as a meeting room.

A few people went to a large empty classroom instead.

Facing Qi Xueyi who had caught up with him, An Lai said, "Please inform Jian Zirui. I think this is something you, as teammates, should also know."

Qi Xueyi took out his cell phone in a daze, and finally called Jian Zirui, who was still rummaging through the dormitory.

When the latter heard that it was related to He Jingtong, even though the girls' dormitory was far away from the large classroom, Jian Zirui still arrived within a few minutes.

She panted and called out. When she saw the teachers, she was shocked by the number. Her face tightened and she said hurriedly, "What happened to He Jingtong? Is there really no way to cure his injury?..."

"Don't worry, we are going to talk about something else."

At this time, in the empty classroom, several tables were aligned to form a long conference table.

After everyone was seated, An Lai opened the comic book.

Although it was expected, when the scene that came into view was the explosion, the host on the TV station kept calm and spoke with a heartbroken heart about the mall incident with 106 deaths...

An Lai's heart clearly skipped a beat in his feelings.

Everything that happened afterwards was revealed to everyone bit by bit.

Song Yu died, Qi Yuan incident, Tan Dong left.

Song Yu's younger brother, whose name was Song Yuan, was given up on treatment because no one paid for his medical expenses and the hospital could not continue to use those extremely expensive drugs to treat him.

Spiritualization comes naturally.

Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it was the inevitability of fate, but the ones who solved Song Yuan's ghost were Song Yu's teammates, the mushroom-headed Liang Sheng, and the natural Li Yuanjing.

It is difficult for a living person to grow from the death of a stranger.

But once they meet someone related to themselves, they will still suffer even if they are still students.

Liang Sheng and Li Yuanjing, the former is a smart person after all.

With an overly active mind, I couldn't help but start thinking, what exactly are spirits?

In the comic, Liang Sheng went to ask Fu Zexun, who had not been exposed at the time.

The awareness that Fu Zexun cultivated among students, that they were willing to listen to their teachers' opinions when they were in despair, received the best feedback at this moment.

The man in the comic said: "When faced with an unacceptable desperate situation, humans choose to replace the other self deep in their hearts with this reality."

"Song Yuan doesn't want to die, nor is he willing to accept his sister's death."

"He didn't want to die because he suffered too much pain during his life. But he survived through so much pain, which proves that he still wanted to live."

"He is unwilling to accept his sister's death because he is too weak. But once he becomes a spirit, he will no longer need expensive medical expenses. Similarly, the next time someone he loves is in danger, he will have the power to protect them." During this conversation, Liang Sheng also expressed his own point of view: "But how can a spirit take protective actions?"

"Then how can you say that the spirit's desire to kill the spiritualist is not out of self-protection?"

In the comic, when Fu Zexun said this, he was sitting at the school doctor's desk in the infirmary.

The windows are wide open, and the flowers and plants in the green belt and the big trees not far away that provide shade and noise reduction are all so natural.

"Humans became spirits only as a means of self-preservation after falling into the abyss of despair."

"If Song Yuan didn't feel pain because of his sister's death, if he didn't feel sad because he couldn't afford the medical expenses and had to face a death he didn't want to accept, then what made him a spirit?"

These words are too misleading, especially since Song Yuan is the younger brother that his teammates always talk about.

Even though the image has turned into a monster, before the monster dies, the "Song Yuan" is still asking: "On what basis?"

So jealous, why can so many people live well, but he and his sister can't?

At that time, Liang Sheng didn't even know that the death of his teammate was caused by Fu Zexun, and it could even be said to be deliberate.

In October, after Fu Zexun was completely exposed, Liang Sheng abandoned Li Yuanjing and followed Fu Zexun without hesitation without the latter knowing anything.

There are more than one students who do the same as Liang Sheng.

Just seeing this, the next page of the comic could not be turned on in Yasushi's hands.

Jian Zirui asked a crucial question: "Artificial Spiritual Master, is there any information that does not need to be kept secret at all?"

"No." Jing Yunsong explained to her, "Of course there are people doing this, but very few succeed. This is because not everyone has the courage to fight when faced with a desperate situation. Courage in a desperate situation is not the same as ordinary courage."

“Although I don’t want to think about those cruel things, most losers don’t have a good ending.”

Jian Zirui, however, looked terrified.

She closed her eyes, forced herself to be rational, and continued, "Assuming this is the legendary Book of Destiny, does this mean that even if Fu Zexun cared about He Jingtong in the past, he wouldn't care about him to the extent he does now?"

Because everyone can understand what is expressed in comics.

Fu Zexun in the comic is constantly seducing others and expanding his own power.

Regarding the artificial spiritual master, after confirming that he could never turn back, Fu Zexun's cognition was just, "I want to get him." instead of "I must get him."

I can do something to get him, but I will not do anything that will affect myself in order to get him.

That's why so many students followed Fu Zexun and left.

Fu Zexun's purpose was always clear.

The only person he met was He Jingtong, who had awakened the ability to predict the future...

"Is He Jingtong actively trying to attract Fu Zexun's attention and concern for him?" To some extent, Jing Yunsong, who was a little silly but overly sensitive, said so.

"Because only in this way can Fu Zexun let other students go...

Fu Zexun's desire to get He Jingtong grew little by little, although at the beginning, everyone thought that Fu Zexun was just like a mad dog.

But if this is what He Jingtong did subjectively...

No one thought how scary He Jingtong was. All they could think of was that He Jingtong tried every possible way to make Fu Zexun focus only on him late at night.

Otherwise, how many students would have died?

Fate is so ridiculous that it makes people's heart ache.

In subsequent comics, Liang Sheng did many wrong things after being taken away, until there was no turning back.

But at that time, Liang Sheng suddenly discovered that Song Yu had died at the hands of Fu Zexun.

He wanted to go crazy, but his spirit had already been destroyed to pieces, and the remaining rationality was not enough for him to choose to retaliate against Fu Zexun.

After Liang Sheng was brainwashed and manipulated, no matter how much he hated Fu Zexun in his heart, when facing him, Liang Sheng was still the most loyal hunting dog.

Until later, he faced Li Yuanjing.

“I can’t swing my sword at the enemy, but I can choose not to target my teammates.

Liang Sheng, while saying this, allowed the weapon in Li Yuanjing's hand to pierce his heart.

Song Yu died early in the team, and Liang Sheng died at the hands of Li Yuanjing after being beaten beyond recognition, driving this natural child who had always tried hard to make himself strong crazy.

And if what Li Yuanjing had gone through was painful enough, then He Jingtong, faced with the choice between killing Qi Xueyi and saving Jian Zirui and countless ordinary people and many teachers, chose to do the former...

Perhaps, that is the real scene of purgatory on earth.

Even Cui Tong, who was the oldest and had been married for several years, couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

Because everyone knew that not long ago, Qi Xueyi aimed his attack at He Jingtong.

But Qi Xueyi is the most profound.

Because he remembered that when He Jingtong was on a ventilator, he said to him...

They have always been teammates.

In the following scenes, although Qi Xueyi did not die there, He Jingtong's action still led to the alienation of countless people.

In the video, Jian Zirui told He Jingtong, "There is no way. Those people can't remember their good fortune in being rescued. They are only afraid that someone who can point a weapon at his teammates will one day choose to point a weapon at them.

“Ridiculous.

In the screen, after Jian Zirui finished speaking, a series of white words appeared in the black frame that represented her inner voice.

[So, why didn't He Jingtong's knife point at me? People like me, because I came from a Taoist temple, are different from other students who awakened later in life, and don't fit in with others. If his knife was pointed at me, then those students wouldn't be so self-righteous and target He Jingtong just because Qi Xueyi had helped them before.]

Another frame reads: [No... that's just the anger of the vested interests.]

[It’s because Qi Xueyi has no longer been able to use his healing abilities since then.]

Afterwards, time and again, Fu Zexun seemed to be always high above everyone, slowly and methodically mobilizing everyone's emotions, allowing those students to force He Jingtong to his side. !
