Chapter 86 Benefits
There was a long silence. When He Yunian's brows were getting more and more furrowed, He Jingtong said in a calm tone, "No."
"Since you already know, that's enough. I should go back." After saying this, He Jingtong pushed open the car door. His expression became cold and gloomy because of the conversation.
As soon as Ke Fang stepped out of the car, he discovered Qi Xueyi and Jian Zirui hiding next to the guard room and looking around.
The cold expression on He Jingtong's face disappeared in an instant, and a smile returned to his face, but He Yunian's voice came from behind him: "Don't cause trouble for your third uncle."
He Yunian didn't think that what he had said to He Jingtong was wrong. Ever since the third son, whom he had regarded as his heir from the beginning, was taken away, He Yunian had subjectively concluded that He Wanjin's life had never been easy.
Otherwise, how could it be possible that he did not return home for ten years? As for his youngest son and grandson, they were just backup options.
It is impossible to expect He Yunian to apologize to He Jingtong. If He Yunian had this knowledge, he would not have subjectively educated He Jingtong as an artificial spiritual master...
The young man ignored the old man's voice behind him and walked straight towards the two people.
"I'm asking you two, what are you two doing?" After He Jingtong's soul was transformed, his five senses became stronger. With just one thought, he quickly flashed in front of one of them.
In the perception of Qi Xueyi and Jian Zirui, He Jingtong appeared beside them in the blink of an eye.
"I'm totally unprepared!" Qi Xueyi blurted out his thoughts, then he clenched his right fist, put it to his lips and pretended to cough twice, saying, "Just chat for a while? Why not chat a little longer?"
"There's nothing to talk about." He Jingtong shook his head. The relationship between the grandfather and grandson had never been particularly close.
He Yunian needed the He family to have a capable heir. Apart from that, He Jingtong had no additional special value.
The person who can be the head of the family only needs to have enough strength. Otherwise, it would be impossible to conduct an artificial spiritualist experiment on He Jingtong. After all, children who come out of that kind of education system can only be described as simple and stupid.
As for managing the family, these things can naturally be handed over to others.
On the surface, the power of reading and writing is decentralized, but what He Yunian actually wants is just to make He Jingtong a good tool.
In the past, He Jingtong had no feelings towards this attitude. However, he had only been in the academy for two months, and whether it was his classmates or his partner An Lai who had been chosen early on, all of these made He Jingtong too lazy to continue dealing with those meaningless things.
Thinking from this perspective, there is indeed a sense of laziness and arrogance going hand in hand.
The space fragments of the lazy spirit, the behavior of the spirit Su Qing, the current emotional development... all kinds of phenomena seem to have a template for comparison. Ignoring these, He Jingtong told his two teammates: "I'm not very familiar with my grandpa."
Question marks hang over everyone's head.
He Jingtong explained: "Grandpa needs a capable grandson to inherit the position of head of the family and to shock the outside world. I need the educational resources that Grandpa provided when he was young..."
"Let's just say it's an exchange of interests that was destined from birth?" He Jingtong asked in a rhetorical tone, but in fact everyone knew that this was just a statement.
Perhaps because his tone was too calm, the two teammates couldn't think of any words of comfort for a moment, and then they decided together: "No matter what the problem is, let's go to the cafeteria to eat first."
.
Lunch goes by quickly, and of course weekends too.
Monday has arrived in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the storyline of the main character is bound to continue unabated.
When He Jing arrived at the classroom this morning, he found that many of his classmates were looking at him.
The students exchanged glances with each other, as if they were exchanging some information in private. But for some reason, they never took the initiative to express their thoughts to He Jingtong.
Since they didn't say anything, He Jingtong pretended not to see it and quietly flipped through the course books related to spiritualists, occasionally checking the multi-view function.
In the multi-view function, in a screen dedicated to the alien spirit Fu Zexun, the inhuman creature is chasing the alien spirit Su Qing.
In He Jingtong's previous encounter with the alien Fu Zexun, although He Jingtong did not explain what he needed, the alien Fu Zexun still found the physical examination report written by Tan Dong.
The 13% degree of soul mutation was almost like telling the spirit Fu Zexun that instead of waiting for He Jingtong to naturally transform into a Z-level spirit, it would be better to dream about it. At least dreaming was more efficient than one could imagine.
After returning to his memories when he was still alive, the alien Fu Zexun quickly figured out that if he wanted to promote He Jingtong's rapid growth, he still needed an S-level alien.
The alien spirit Fu Zexun didn't think there was anything wrong with offering himself up. Unfortunately, the reality was that it wasn't as easy as he wished, especially since he hadn't opened his realm yet.
He Jingtong didn't say anything about what he said about him being a dog.
After completely becoming a non-human being, the alien Fu Zexun can be said to be full of joy, and is looking forward to He Jingtong becoming a Z-level alien.
Of course, this expectation includes a premise, that is, the alien Fu Zexun wants to be the "first" to see He Jingtong become a Z-level alien.
I want to see it, I really want to see it!
I envy every living person who is half the same kind as He Jingtong. But I am also happy that I and he are already half the same kind.
Weird ideas and twisted thoughts.
But no matter how weird and crazy he is, Fu Zexun is still Fu Zexun. Especially after the alien Fu Zexun knows that He Jingtong needs the domain fragments of other S-level aliens.
The alien spirit Fu Zexun knows that he does not yet have a realm, but that doesn't matter.
If you want to own a realm, just go find the alien spirit Su Qing.
In fights, being on the verge of death again and again, he would sooner or later learn how to open the realm.
And when he possesses the realm, as the first sin, he will definitely have the ability to defeat the alien spirit Su Qing.
Alien Su Qing: Cursing.jpg
He finally thought he had escaped the pursuit of human spiritualists and could get away with it, but in the blink of an eye he was found by the alien spirit Fu Zexun.
You said that the alien Fu Zexun is not an S-level alien...but he already has a human form without conducting experiments on himself.
You said that he hasn't learned the realm yet, but even if he hasn't learned it, the alien Fu Zexun can still chase the alien Su Qing and fight him.
At its root, the concept of realm is just an abbreviation of the spatial boundary.
The alien Fu Zexun had no idea how to create a boundary with soul power, but as for how to fight against the boundary, he knew what to do because he had the memory of being hammered by the thunderstorm boundary.
The existence of the alien spirit Fu Zexun suddenly became a special attack against the alien spirit Su Qing.
At 7:50 in the morning, 10 minutes before the class officially started, the alien Fu Zexun had been chasing the alien Su Qing for more than ten hours...
He Jingtong looked at this series of images, decisively looked away, and returned his gaze to the textbook on the desk.
At the same time, a student who had never communicated with He Jingtong before also pulled a bench and sat diagonally in front of He Jingtong's seat.
As soon as the man sat down, he asked He Jingtong: "You didn't tell me the source of your intelligence during the quiz before the semester started. Was it because you were worried that your identity as a prophet would be exposed?"
"Do you still think we are not trustworthy?" The person who spoke was a girl. Judging from her clothes and neat hairstyle, she looked like a very serious person.
But precisely because she appeared to be so serious, these slightly sharp words seemed unexpectedly out of place on her.
He Jingtong knew who she was.
Bai Yuewen sat in front of Jian Zirui's left, in the third row, seat number four.
Bai Yuewen's two teammates are Gu Yu and Fang Qi.
Even though they had never met before, He Jingtong still knew all 30 classmates in the class through the comics.
In the plot, the Bai Yuewen trio does not play a big role, they are just one of the classmates, pushing the development of the comic protagonist's student era. You have to know that in the comic plot, when the timeline reaches November, that is, when He Jingtong becomes half-human and half-ghost, the student "era" has gradually become a thing of the past.
However, the current state node is also gradually becoming spiritualized, but this node has been moved to October.
This means that all the important plots have been moved forward. It also means that the pain that should have happened to the students was all skipped under He Jingtong's guidance.
Therefore, He Jingtong never intended to have too deep exchanges with his classmates.
The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, which is the most suitable way for them to get along with each other. Otherwise, what happens next will only drag everyone into the whirlpool.
However, this idea was only He Jingtong's idea. Bai Yuewen chose to take the initiative to approach him and said such words, which was obviously very different from He Jingtong's idea.
However, her teammate covered Bai Yuewen's mouth and turned to He Jingtong and said, "Sorry, this silly child doesn't know how to speak well."
"She didn't mean to question you when she said this to you. She just wanted to confirm whether you didn't say anything at the time because you were embarrassed and didn't want to tell the truth for various reasons."
"It's quite interesting that one of you plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop." Qi Xueyi looked at them coldly and was not polite to them just because they were girls.
"Now you can imagine that He Jingtong is in trouble, but couldn't you imagine it then? Not saying it, whether it's because he doesn't want to say it or he can't say it, it means that he can't say it subjectively."
"But objectively speaking, you obviously cannot look at this rationally."
Qi Xue raised his eyelids, and his white eyelashes gave people a visual sense of being sick. Once his face color darkened and his pupils became deep, the visual sense of being sick completely turned into a pathological look, which was very scary.
But despite his appearance, Qi Xueyi actually didn't say anything so decisive.
For example, Qi Xueyi could have gone on to say something like: Even if you weren't among the people who questioned me at the time, you would have acquiesced... something like that.
But this obviously cannot be said, as it would kill the topic.
Not only was it a death sentence, but it was also very likely that He Jingtong, who had said nothing at the moment, would suddenly leave a bad impression on his classmates.
Regarding this point, Qi Xue finally kept his mouth shut.
Gu Yu obviously understands this.
The scene at that time really looked like three people of the same grade were crowding out He Jingtong, the transfer student.
Therefore, even if Qi Xueyi showed an intentional attempt to make things difficult, Gu Yu could still politely say, "That's not what we meant. We just guessed some possibilities and wanted to apologize and thank He Jingtong."
"My apology is that we did not believe our classmates at the time." "The ability to predict is obviously special. Once it is exposed, I am afraid that He Jingtong would be in danger immediately."
"So we had doubts, and we were too immature at the time. When our thoughts became one-sided and extreme, we ignored He Jingtong's actions to protect us. This is why my teammates and I want to apologize."
Bai Yuewen also nodded: "As for thanks, I am very grateful to He Jingtong for always avoiding risks for us."
"Why do you say that?" Jian Zirui also joined the conversation.
Gu Yu stood beside Bai Yuewen, with his left hand on her shoulder, and said calmly: "Fu Zexun wants to turn the spiritual master into an artificial spirit. It is more convenient to find a student he once taught than a transfer student."
"At least that's what I think." Gu Yu took a deep breath, and after suppressing her complicated thoughts, she made a truly objective assessment, "If He Jingtong hadn't predicted that Fu Zexun had problems and exposed him early, I'm afraid that later, if he just called any of our classmates, we would probably just take the initiative to deliver ourselves to him without knowing anything..."
"I don't know if this is true to some extent. I just think that if He Jingtong hadn't existed, this speculation would have been the most likely truth."
Ever since the news about He Jingtong being a prophet spread in the black market, the students who were a long way behind in getting the intelligence and receiving the complete report on the Fu Zexun incident felt a chill all over their bodies.
They only found out what had happened almost after it was all over.
Before Fu Zexun died, they only knew that Jiang Nan died at Fu Zexun's hands, and that it was related to the artificial spirit experiment, which caused Fu Zexun to kill many ordinary people...
As for anything else, these students know nothing.
In a state of bewilderment, he discovered in a trance that the teacher whom he had betrayed just two months ago had actually died not long ago.
It’s not that I feel sorry for Fu Zexun’s death, but I’m glad that the situation didn’t get worse.
By reviewing the complete report, any student who has not completely lost his mind can clearly deduce how much effort He Jingtong made in the siege and killing of Fu Zexun.
Deny He Jingtong's efforts and take it for granted to continue living like this without encountering disasters?
Gu Yu, Bai Yuewen, and their other teammate Fang Qi, all three of them couldn't accept it.
"It's just like an ungrateful person..."
"What are you saying?" Jian Zirui didn't hear clearly and looked at Bai Yuewen who half lowered her head in confusion.
Bai Yuewen suddenly raised her head, looked directly at He Jingtong who had remained silent the entire time, and said in an extremely serious tone: "I say, ignoring He Jingtong's efforts and secretly being afraid of the spiritualization that has already appeared in him is simply as stupid and ridiculous as an ungrateful person!"
Her tone was so decisive and firm that it even spread throughout the class.
At that moment, the whole classroom was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
What schools teach students is not only skills. Teaching and educating people is also an inseparable part of the school.
When they were confused, they could explain it by saying they didn't know the truth. But now, with all the facts in front of them, they had to admit that they were protected in every way by a classmate they didn't even know.
The feeling is too complex and hard to describe.
To put it bluntly, "Why are we worthy of your rescue?"
This sentence was actually said by Fang Qi: "Indeed, not telling others the truth seems self-righteous. But if I were in your position, I think I might not be able to do it at all to fight against Fu Zexun."
"And if I finally choose to muster up the courage to fight Fu Zexun, but the people around me don't understand me... then no matter how much I want to save people, I may not be able to act anymore."
"I'm sorry." Fang Qi bowed solemnly. "Although none of us three raised any doubts during the quiz at the beginning of the semester, not refuting those who did speak out is already equivalent to tacit consent."
"As a classmate, I didn't believe you, but was influenced by what Fu Zexun said... This was my stupidity, I admit it."
"Anyway, I'm really sorry!" Fang Qi never straightened up, but kept bending over as he spoke.
"I don't feel sad about those things." He Jingtong finally spoke.
The boy's voice was clear and cold, just like an October morning. Even though the sun had risen, the dew on the leaves of the green plants in the green belt had not completely melted. Instead, it was still sparkling in the morning sun.
"I won't accept your apology either."
Gu Yu and Bai Yuewen immediately looked away with some sadness, except Fang Qi, who was still bending over seriously.
He Jingtong did not pause and continued to say what he had not finished: "I have no reason to accept this apology. From my personal perspective, I chose to help others because I wanted to do so."
"I want to help you because I want you to survive, not so that you can thank me after you survive." He Jingtong thought from the bottom of his heart, "My subjective thoughts are the reason that motivates me to act."
Not only did he not want to have anything to do with his classmates because they could easily die, but he also gave up on making friends with them.
He gave up maintaining this friendship with his classmates, so why should he expect others to take him to heart?
For example, He Jingtong never asked Pei Lin and Shang Tingqi to become his close seniors and juniors as they were in the drama.
Losing a relationship between the previous and the next generation/classmates/friendship... In exchange for so many people being alive, and indirectly creating a beautiful, strong and tragic character for him, and in exchange for a lot of popularity points in the three-dimensional world...
These are reasonable and equivalent exchanges in themselves.
He Jingtong has always known that you can't have your cake and eat it too.
But what He Jingtong didn't know was that it was precisely because of his brutal perception of facts that others thought he was a devotee.
It is human nature to want to be pampered and loved. Why should a minor, a child who has just been exposed to spiritual society for more than two months, understand those things?
He should want to have his cake and eat it too. This is what the protagonist of a hot-blooded youth comic should be like.
But he, who possessed the power of prophecy, always understood that if you gain something, you must give up something, and if you give up something, you must gain something.
In the original plot of the comic, He Jingtong had all kinds of friendships. Even if he couldn't be called favored, he definitely received praise and affirmation, understanding and support, as well as spiritual dependence.
But what about now?
The classmates were distantly related to He Jingtong, and Tan Dong, as a teacher, did not dare to get too close to him, always fearing that his fate would take a turn for the worse.
He Yunian, the grandfather...
It is even more difficult to tell which is better, He Yunian's current behavior or the one in the plot. In other words, the two are equally bad.
In the plot, she ignored He Jingtong, but in reality, she paid some attention to him, and yet she also expressed her hope that he would commit suicide...
In this situation, what did He Jingtong get?
In his own opinion, it is the perfect construction of the character, the gradual rise of the comic from zero popularity to the top of the quarter, and also a step closer to the goal of entering the three-dimensional world.
But to others, all of these do not exist.
What they saw was that He Jingtong had always gained nothing but was always giving.
But even with this kind of vision, only a small number of people choose to subjectively acknowledge it, while most people would rather play dumb.
Otherwise, the people who came to apologize and thank them would not be just Bai Yuewen's three-person team.
Before the bell rang, He Jingtong finished his last words: "My subjective thoughts and the objective facts are what I hope to achieve. I don't need your thanks, and of course, the same goes for apologies."
Gu Yu looked anxious: "But people can't..."
"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling——" the bell for class rang suddenly, and Cui Tong's figure appeared in front of the main door of the classroom.
After talking to the three of them, they finally had to sit back in their seats.
In class, before the formal teaching, Cui Tong announced one more thing: "The midterm exam will be held on November 1st. This exam will not test the strength of the team, but the individual strength. During the test, the students' performance will be reflected in the spiritual master level certificate. I hope everyone can perform well."
"That's all. Okay, let's get to class—"
…
Class starts and ends.
Time flies, the sun turns, and today's class is over.
After school in the afternoon, He Jingtong rarely went back to the dormitory with his two teammates, because shortly after class, when they were still walking in the wind and rain corridor, the school security guard once again approached He Jingtong.
The person who came this time was not He Jingtong's grandfather, but Zhou Li.
The man who had previously participated in the siege of Fu Zexun and served as a nutritionist and the ultimate tool of the supernatural megaphone.
As He Jingtong walked to the school gate, he saw the figure who looked a little embarrassed.
When Zhou Li saw He Jingtong, he smiled a more "genuine" smile than a professional actor. The first thing he said when he looked at He Jingtong was, "Well, I'm here to join you."
"You also know my situation. Before I became a wanted criminal, I accidentally burned down my own house and my neighbor's house..." Zhou Li smiled bitterly. !
