Chapter 79 Humanity

On the other end of the paper crane, Fu Zexun's words reached everyone's ears.

At this time, everyone had arrived at the door of the laboratory. Amidst the loud explosion, the door that was originally controlled by the program was also broken by external force.

They should have rushed in to rescue He Jingtong immediately. But can they really guarantee that everyone wants to save He Jingtong?

"Z-level alien? That kind of alien doesn't exist at all." An old man narrowed his eyes.

Another old man snorted sarcastically: "It's just the delusion of young people." What he meant was that Fu Zexun not only had this idea, but even actually tried it out.

"But have you ever seen someone do this before? They can turn people into spirits, and even control those people's spirits?"

"Just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist in this world."

The atmosphere among the old men was heavy and stagnant.

But as for what Fu Zexun had done in the past, no one dared to deny that he had no basis for realizing his ideas.

First there was the lazy spirit from three hundred years ago, and then there was Su Qing, who was verified by Zong Feng to be an S-level spirit...

At least these are enough to prove that Fu Zexun has been able to create what they believed to be the legendary S-level spirit not long ago.

This information came too suddenly.

The intelligence that most people have access to is not as detailed as that known by those inside the academy.

The concept that those people understood was that they just learned that Fu Zexun betrayed the academy, and then in the blink of an eye they learned that he did not betray the academy, but was expelled from the academy for conducting human experiments.

The actual expulsion was not expulsion, but pursuit, but unfortunately, the pursuit failed.

The reason for the hunt is even more outrageous, because Fu Zexun can turn people into spirits and can also control those spirits.

Then, after the He Yu Nian, the forty-one A-level spirits that had invaded the dual-school league, which had been intentionally obscured, finally became known to the public.

A series of intelligence came to his mind, and he heard from the laboratory staff that Fu Zexun planned to turn He Jingtong into a Z-level spirit...

"It is better to believe it than not to believe it. If He Jingtong really shows signs of mutation, I suggest that you all be prepared to abandon him in the subsequent rescue." An old man looked around and said vaguely.

The old man knows best that one should not get rigid in his position too quickly, so what he said is just so-called "suggestions".

"No!" Qi Xueyi retorted loudly with an ugly face, "Fu Zexun also said that he will only gradually mutate into a spirit. Before things got to the worst, He Jingtong was still a human being and still our teammate!" "Yes, before the situation became irreversible, He Jingtong was still a recognized student of the Elite Academy." Cui Tong said. His words represented both the academy's position and indirectly the official position.

Many old men, who originally disapproved of Qi Xueyi, had to frown and weigh the matter because of Cui Tong's joining.

But the old man who gave the advice said: "But if the situation really develops to the worst, can you guarantee that you can resist the Z-level spirit?"

The old man's implicit message was that the academy couldn't even resist S-level spirits, so how could it possibly fight against Z-level spirits that only exist in the concept.

When the time comes, whether it is a rescue operation or an extermination operation, won’t we still have to rely on them?

It would be fine if they could be relied upon, but if they were really the legendary Z-level, these old guys might not be someone who could be relied upon.

Because of his words, several old men who had originally planned to stand on the side of the academy began to hesitate.

They must consider that once He Jingtong truly transforms and becomes a legendary being, whether these old monsters can still survive in the hands of the alien He Jingtong.

You may not care about the life and death of others, but you absolutely cannot care about your own.

Once people's own practical interests are in crisis, they will certainly not allow their morality to continue to be at a high standard.

"At least we must prevent the worst possible outcome."

"Once He Jingtong's transformation is successful, we have never faced an S-class spirit, so how can we resist a Z-class spirit in the concept?"

"By that time, it will be too late."

"So we must not let the situation get so bad that we might... we might have to do something to a child."

"Yes, yes." The responses gradually rang out.

Killing is of course something that most modern people cannot accept, but what if killing one person is to save millions of others?

These people easily convinced themselves.

But Jian Zirui couldn't accept it. She looked at those people and completely lost the balance and calmness that a cultivator possessed. She unconsciously raised her voice and scolded, "You are talking too high-soundingly!"

"You just don't want to take the risk and think that saving He Jingtong is not a plan at all!"

"But what did he do wrong? Why doesn't he deserve to be saved?"

"If you were more useful, if you old guys didn't always think in private about who the opponent of the alien Su Qing would be, wouldn't we be able to find He Jingtong earlier?!"

These old guys are all very capable.

They are all powerful figures in their respective regions, but because they knew about the S-level alien spirit, only one Su Qing showed up, and they had private conversations over tea more than once.

If they had acted earlier, He Jingtong, who had been trying to hold on for a week, would not have had to face those...

Nor would he choose to undergo inhuman spirit transformation experiments under the current circumstances and in the abyss of despair.

Every word Fu Zexun said made Jian Zirui heartbroken.

"Stop talking." Jian Zirui's master held her shoulders.

At that time, several old men looked at Jian Zirui with meaningful eyes.

They also have to save face, so naturally they cannot accept that Jian Zirui exposed certain facts in public that were known to everyone but tacitly avoided mentioning.

"I am loyal to my master and I have been invited to come down the mountain. They also donated a lot of money to the temple, saying that they wanted us to repair the house." Taoist Master Jian first said the preface, and then added, "I, the master, am also responsible for saving people."

Jian Zirui's tears quickly condensed in her eyes, forming teardrops. However, no matter how much she wanted to say to express her gratitude, she had no chance to say it at this moment. In the end, she could only choke up and say, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to Master."

Afterwards, Jian Zirui and Taoist Jian rushed to the laboratory together.

“Why bother?” Behind them, Cui Tong, who was also running towards the laboratory, suddenly smiled at himself.

What this means is, why should we think that there is strength in numbers just to rescue He Jingtong as soon as possible?

This part of the force, before it could become the force to rescue He Jingtong at this time, had already become the force that would target him.

Does He Jingtong know this?

Cui Tong did not think that He Jingtong was ignorant.

Only by making himself half dead can his value as a hostage be reduced to the lowest level, so that others who choose to besiege Fu Zexun will not have to spare any strength.

And he left himself half dead, but had to face human experiments that could very well turn him into a spirit...

If the person who can see through fate is destined to be unable to change his own fate, does that mean that He Jingtong knew from the beginning that the person who should have been the force to save him would soon become completely hostile to him?

Did he think from the very beginning that he couldn't go on living?

"I don't accept it!" An Lai's eyes were also red, "What's the point of fate? I will never accept He Jingtong dying here!"

"Those idiots." Zong Feng glanced at the old men from the corner of his eye, and then he stared at Cui Tong and the others with his sharp eyes, "And you too!"

"Use your brains. Would a person like He Jingtong allow himself to become a spirit that harms humans?"

"I don't want to guess what kind of pain he has to go through to suppress the influence of the lazy spirit fragment on him. I only know that He Jingtong will never, ever point his knife at us."

"In this case, there is only one question we need to think about." Upon hearing this, Jing Yunsong forced a smile on his face, which was a bit idiotic and slightly crazy.

"We just need to think about how to kill Fu Zexun."

Standing next to Jing Yunsong, Lu Xijun also nodded: "He Jingtong has been experimented on now, which means that Fu Zexun's wish to create an experiment has been half fulfilled."

Although analyzing the problem from this perspective may seem cruel, the quick-witted Lu Xijun still said, "It's not just us who have to make the choice. Fu Zexun has to make it too."

"Unless Fu Zexun wants to give up his half-fulfilled wish, and give up what he himself called, 'a wish that must be fulfilled', because only then can the hostage theory be established."

"At the same time, those guys..." Jun Xi glanced at the back of the laboratory corridor. Those old men were walking slowly towards the deep laboratory, just like they were on a picnic.

"I think they will never forget to explain to He Jingtong with a noble heart that giving up on him or even killing him subjectively was just to save more people."

"Once Fu Zexun knows that a large part of our people don't care about He Jingtong's life or death, then He Jingtong, who is already half dead, will no longer be qualified to be a hostage."

After all, even if the teachers and students were threatened by the hostages and unable to move, those old guys would just kill them along with the hostages...

"Back to what Jing Yunsong just said, all we need to do is kill Fu Zexun." When Jun Xi said this, he clenched his fists involuntarily.

Tan Dong smiled miserably, which was worse than crying: "But have you ever thought that these facts you speculated were things that He Jingtong had been actively promoting a long time ago..."

He Jingtong used himself to push Fu Zexun into a situation where he was doomed to die.

In that book of destiny, the scene that Fu Zexun later caused caused a huge shock in this city of 20 million people.

The casualties numbered in the tens of thousands.

He Jingtong saved so many people without anyone noticing, and was even blamed by others for killing him to save more people...

[What did He Jingtong gain from his ability to predict the future? ]

This post went viral in the blink of an eye when Fu Zexun came out of the monitoring room holding He Jingtong and faced the teachers and students of the college.

The people who were discussing it exploded instantly.

[Main post: I can't think that he is gaining. Even though he saved so many people and redeemed so many regrets, I still don't think he is gaining. I only see that he is losing. ] [1: I am the one who said that in the future, I will say in the comments section of every episode that Fu Zexun should die early. But at this moment, I hope he can live, not because his charm is so great that it attracts me, but just because, if Fu Zexun doesn't die, then he will definitely not let He Jingtong face, "Killing you is just to save more people." ]

[2: At this time, the only person He Jingtong can rely on to keep alive is Fu Zexun, the villain who was pushed to a dead end by He Jingtong.]

【3: This is ridiculous! Fu Zexun had intended to make He Jingtong a supernatural being from the very beginning.】

[4: They tried their best to kill each other's enemies. One wanted the other to die, and the other wanted the other to become a spirit that would be equivalent to death once it was formed. At this time, they stood on the same side... Who is crying again? It turns out to be me. ]

【5: Hahahaha, hahahahahaha! I laughed, really, those old guys really made me laugh. He Jingtong tried his best to save people, but they thought it was a sin to let him continue to live.】

[6: What saddens me the most is what Lu Xijun said while remaining rational. He really said all the possibilities, and those possibilities are all facts. But these facts were what He Jingtong had been pushing for all along. Did he know what he would face?]

【7: How could I not know? 】

[8: You did that because you knew that, right?]

[9: Only if the hostage theory is completely invalid and he himself is not worth being rescued, will Fu Zexun completely lose the possibility of escape.]

[10: Even though those old men are extremely hateful at this moment, they are the ones most likely to kill the alien Su Qing.]

【11: Who still remembers the old man who vomited blood when fighting the lazy ghost? 】

[12: After that, the old man never looked for Qi Xueyi. With the old man's ability and the status of the wealthy He family, even if he had to exchange interests with the government, it would definitely be no problem to ask Qi Xueyi to help. But not asking him to help only meant that Qi Xueyi could not solve He Yunian's problems.]

[13: I understand what the above person meant. Even though the old man opened his realm and won the battle against the lazy spirit, he actually didn't gain much of an advantage. Su Qing, who is obviously stronger than Lazy, is facing the injured He Yunian again. It's hard to say who will win or lose.]

[14: Those old men who have tacitly given up on He Jingtong are essential forces in this battle. He Jingtong cannot let it go. In a fateful scenario, his grandfather, He Yunian, will go up against the alien Su Qing and have a "good ending" where both sides are injured.]

[15: What can He Jingtong do? What choice does he have? I am really about to cry my eyes out!]

【16: All actions that are based on not hurting oneself are destined to lead to bad results. So what else can He Jingtong do besides hurting himself?】

[17: What did the prophecy bring to He Jingtong? I always remember that I discussed this question before, but I think my answer now is no different from when I discussed it.]

[18: The prophecy is like giving He Jing a reason to hurt himself.]

[19: If there is no prophecy, if something similar but not as cruel happens, then it is the time to make a decision...

He Jingtong might smile brightly and scratch the back of his head, then say to us: "There is nothing we can do. Some things have to be done by someone."

After the prophecy, he would just pretend to be cool, force a smile, and then say to us: "Some things have to be done by someone, but the most suitable person is me."】

【20: When I saw He Jingtong saying that he was the protagonist of the story, I thought that everything would be fine after that, after all, he was the protagonist.

But only now did I realize that what that sentence clearly meant was: "I am the unique protagonist in the destiny that I have chosen for myself. Even though that destiny may not be good in the eyes of everyone, I am still the protagonist."】

【21: You guys must have studied with the old thief, how come you know how to stab someone in the chest!】

【22: So funny, who has a heart on his knife? It turns out everyone here has the same problem.】

[23: Fuck the shonen manga, fuck the hot-blooded manga! Hot-blooded! The only hot blood is He Jingtong’s blood!! Only his blood flows out again and again, and gradually cools down from warmth!]

【24: Ahh ...

[25: Targeting the old men. The old men were chosen by He Jingtong a long time ago. They must fight. It doesn't make sense to use others and belittle them. Targeting Fu Zexun, but at this moment, Fu Zexun became the one who prevented He Jingtong from facing the worst situation. Targeting other teachers and students... They have been working hard to save people. ]

【26: It seems that the only thing left is to target the old thief.】

【27: Old thief, a man with deep sins! 】

【28: He really had a knife, and I cried my heart out.】

Afterwards, the cannon was successfully aimed at the author of "Otherworldly".

In the continuous passionate outburst of hundreds of posts, there was a comment: [What's the big guarantee of 1,000 rounds? For a knife expert like Lao Ze, it's best to directly open a server to serve him, so that he has no guarantee even for 10,000 rounds. The question is: "Dear, there is no bug here. You can consider whether it is your own problem."]...

【148: I just hate why fate never gave He Jingtong any favors, yet it seemed like it treated him well.】

[149: What is the prophecy? It gave him the ability to resist fate, but also made him drown in the deep sea of ​​fate.]

[150: Everything is inevitable, even defying fate, perhaps it is also destined by fate. Fate destined him to defy fate, but he cannot change the outcome destined by fate.]

…

Outside the surveillance room, Fu Zexun looked at everyone, then lowered his head to look at the boy in his arms again.

Fu Zexun suddenly smiled and said, "He has already done this. It seems that I only have the choice of death left."

No teacher or student spoke up, because they didn't dare to show any concern for He Jingtong. They were afraid that He Jingtong would become a hostage, and they were also afraid that he would lose all the value of being a hostage.

"But I don't want to give up resistance just like that." Fu Zexun looked at He Jingtong. From the moment he lowered his head, he no longer took the teachers and students of the academy into consideration.

"My wish will come true after my death..."

"I don't want to accept it at all." Fu Zexun once again looked at He Jingtong, who was almost invisible in his arms, and finally raised his head.

The young man in his arms was covered in blood, but also looked like a dead person, with his breathing so weak that it was almost non-existent.

In front of Fu Zexun, everyone took precautions against him. They were ready to keep Fu Zexun's life here no matter what it took.

And if we fail, it would be a real letdown to He Jingtong.

While they were thinking about this problem, Fu Zexun was also thinking about another problem.

That is, he must, must see He Jingtong become a complete Z-level alien being.

This thought kept deepening in the depths of his mind.

Afterwards, the bloody boy was placed against the wall. Fu Zexun finally faced many teachers and students.

"Kill you!"

Pei Lin and Shang Tingqi, who also participated in this battle, had murderous intent in their eyes.

When they saw He Jingtong covered in blood, they couldn't help but think of Jiang Nan.

Did their teammates encounter similar things at the beginning?

And He Jingtong's current situation...will he become their teammate in the future?

…Are aliens still considered human?

Before this question is answered, Fu Zexun must be killed first!

Everyone held their weapons tightly, and Fu Zexun also summoned the strange spirit he had created recently.

Guys whose faces match those on the wanted list appear one after another behind Fu Zexun. He has been studying lazy spirits for longer than anyone imagined, and his understanding of space is more complete than anyone else.

Therefore, the number of supernatural spirits that appeared this time is still not to be underestimated.

Just as He Jing had expected, the teachers and students went all out to fight Fu Zexun. However, Su Qing alone held back all the old men.

It was clearly a situation where he was bound to die, but for a moment, Fu Zexun seemed to have the ability to fight against everyone else.

Every fighter began to be shocked. They discovered a fact: an artificial spirit created by Fu Zexun could retain the characteristics of its previous abilities.

What if, what if He Jingtong is also like this...?

What Mr. Xi guessed, those old men could also guess.

The news that He Jingtong's ability was a prophecy was blocked by He Yunian at the time and was not passed on quickly. But even if these old men didn't know that He Jingtong's ability was a prophecy, they knew He Yunian's ability.

That's thunder and lightning.

There is no doubt that it is an offensive ability-biased feature with extremely high lethality.

Once He Jingtong becomes a spirit and has enough soul power to support him, the realm he opens up will definitely not be worse than that of He Yunian.

Secondly, the old men also have some idea of ​​the concept of Z-level. The two-way control of time and space, besides being a monster...

What is the difference between them and God?

Back to the possibility that Lu Xijun had thought of before, Fu Zexun wanted to see He Jingtong become a Z-level spirit. This was his wish and his obsession. In other words, could they use He Jingtong's life and death to indirectly threaten Fu Zexun...?

The answer is yes.

An old man left the team that was besieging the alien spirit Su Qing. He secretly attacked Fu Zexun while pretending to slip.

The attack was finally aimed at He Jingtong.

As Fu Zexun tried to block it, his original action of resisting the teachers suddenly turned into a hysterical attack against the old man.

He released the control that prevented the alien spirit Su Qing from speaking, and at the same time commanded the alien spirit Su Qing: "Kill him!" In his eyes, there was only the person who dared to attack his test subject.

The alien Su Qing sneered: "How stupid are you to think that what that kid has fought so hard for is something that you can definitely win."

"He Jingtong paid all the price, but all he got in return was the opportunity for you to kill Fu Zexun."

This old man's move of attacking He Jingtong made Fu Zexun, who had originally planned to fight openly, determined that he would at least drag a few people down with him before he died!

The alien spirit Su Qing doesn't care who his opponent is. Anyway, under his well-prepared realm, any human who does not have the ability of the realm will only become a puppet.

"Realm - Puppet!" The alien Su Qing raised his left hand high, level with his left shoulder. His wrist drooped neatly following the natural gravity, and his fingers danced slightly like controlling a puppet.

In the blink of an eye, dark red silk threads appeared on the body of the old man who dared to attack He Jingtong. Not only did they pull on the old man's limbs, they also continued to tighten at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Will die!

Everyone knew it, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break the red thread.

Only boundaries can confront each other. It is very simple to form such a thing. It may happen suddenly in the natural life of eating and drinking, or it may remain the same for decades without being able to awaken.

The interesting thing is that among the old men nowadays, only He Yunian has awakened the realm.

Others might touch the edge, but the inability to control that higher order force means they have no means of attack.

With no other options, He Yunian finally decided to attack again: "Boundary - Thunderstorm!"

A small-scale lightning circle also appeared beside the old man.

The refined indigo lightning operation quickly cut the strings of the puppet, but for some reason, those strings always gathered on the old man again and again.

He Yunian's spiritual power was not enough for him to compete with the S-level alien spirit, so his face soon turned visibly pale.

The alien Su Qing laughed mockingly and said, "A being like you should consolidate your own realm. But you are like an idiot. After fighting with the S-rank alien Zero not long ago, you once again chose to use your realm against me."

"You want to kill people right under my nose, you spirit? Do you think you deserve it?" He Yunian looked pale but his words were merciless. To some extent, He Jingtong was also of the same lineage.

The alien Su Qing immediately became unhappy: "Who do you think you are? You are just a person who has only a basic understanding of the realm. You don't even know that this kind of power has two states, right?"

Speaking only of lightning, when anyone mentions a thunderstorm, they usually think of an area attack, but actual lightning can strike directly upwards or downwards with a deafening blow.

Similarly, He Yunian's incomplete domain can also be targeted at only one person.

But although He Yunian had learned a wide range of attack methods, he knew nothing about how to narrow down his power to target just one person.

The current situation is like He Yunian is using his ultimate to counter the alien Su Qing's basic attack.

"Human, you know nothing about intelligence, so why do you think you can win?" The alien Su Qing increased the power output, but at most it just changed from a normal attack to an E skill.

He Yunian still blindly used his ultimate move to fight back.

The alien Su Qing mocked him, saying, "You are actually trying to save someone who wants to use your grandson to threaten Fu Zexun."

"Can I understand that He Jingtong has become someone abandoned by you, his father?"

He Yunian said nothing, he really was not feeling well.

When the realm was first opened, He Yunian fought the lazy spirit for too long.

One of them wanted to test the limits of his control over this new power, while the other didn't think he could survive to the end, so both of them used their powers to the maximum extent.

It was simple that Qi Xueyi was unable to cure He Yunian. The old man's soul had become extremely thick after years of practice.

But soul power, once consumed, cannot be recovered quickly.

It is not like a game player, where the higher the level, the faster the mana bar recovers. For a cleric, the speed at which soul power recovers still depends on talent.

The stronger the level, the longer it takes to recover after the soul power is consumed.

Even now, He Yunian, whose injuries and strength have not fully recovered, is not at his strongest.

The alien spirit Su Qing is arrogant and has abilities far beyond Laziness...

He Yunian suddenly asked, "Can your ability only be used on one person?"

The alien Su Qing laughed again: "Did you finally find out?"

"The realm is not something that can only be used on one person at any time. If you spend too much energy protecting that old man, you can't guarantee that you will still have the power to interrupt me when I use puppets on a large scale."

"Otherwise, you will just watch more people die."

"Choose!" The alien spirit Su Qing was visibly excited. He felt that he was imitating He Jingtong's behavior, but he believed that he was much stronger than He Jingtong, so there was no need for him to behave so badly.

"If you save this old man, it means you have thrown everyone else's safety behind your mind. If you abandon him, it's the same as murder...hahaha, hahahaha."

"You can't give up on me!" The old man who attacked He Jingtong looked at He Yunian with fear and threat in his eyes.

He Yunian closed his eyes. When the alien spirit and the old man thought that he would give up on the old man, He Yunian showed no sign of recovering his strength.

The alien Su Qing stopped smiling: "So you choose to save this old man and give up your grandson?"

"This is what human beings are like! Hahaha." The alien Su Qing laughed crazily once.

"Once he becomes a spirit, there is no possibility of recovery. But he is a great force to fight against you..." He Yunian felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife with every word he uttered.

"Jingtong...will forgive me. He is my grandson and he knows better than me how to make the choice."

At this moment, He Jingtong, who was sitting against the wall by Fu Zexun, opened his eyes.

He heard his blood-related grandfather say: "If Jing Tong knew that he was going to become a spirit, a monster, then the best thing he should do is to commit suicide and not cause trouble to everyone, instead of requiring others to plan how to kill him..."

"That's enough!" These words were finally stopped by An Lai's loud shout.

He saw it, he saw He Jingtong wake up.

When he saw He Jingtong, his eyes lit up because he had discovered their figures.

I also saw the light in his eyes extinguishing little by little.

He even watched him take out the famous Nine Passes when no one noticed...

He had no strength, just like the time when he threatened the alien Su Qing. He could only hold the hilt of the knife with one hand and support the other end of the blade with the other hand. Only with both hands could he hang the entire blade around his neck.

The blood flowed down his palm again, and a tragic smile appeared on that pale, blood-stained face.

"You can't do that!" An Lai's eyes were red as he stared at He Jingtong. There was still a distance of several wanted criminals and ghosts between them.

"If you dare to do that, if you dare to commit suicide, I will never acknowledge that you are my student!" Tan Dong also discovered this, and as blood-like tears rolled down her cheeks, she also shouted.

"What do you mean by causing trouble? You have never been a trouble!" Cui Tong said firmly. He Jingtong was a student he had set his sights on long ago, so how could An Lai be considered a trouble?

"Letting students face such a scene means we as teachers are unqualified. And letting you think that things are so hopeless that there is no other choice is a disqualification for the entire society!" Jing Yunsong said loudly as he crushed a strange spirit.

They couldn't blame He Yunian for saving people, but they would never allow He Jingtong to die just like that.

Died from a humble and meaningless suicide.

Jian Zirui's face was covered with tears: "I, and we, we are here to rescue you. I don't want to, and I don't want to, bring back a corpse!"

"Damn it!" Qi Xueyi bit the soft flesh at the corner of his mouth, "You ran to us so many times, how could we have the qualifications to give up on you!"

Others...

Who are other people? Even if he is He Jingtong's grandfather, you cannot ask him to die as a matter of course and say that he doesn't want to cause trouble to others!

In this case, even Pei Lin and Shang Tingqi could say, "The situation hasn't reached the worst point yet, has it?"

"When you killed Jiang Nan, everything was beyond redemption."

"What you think is hopeless is meaningless."!
