Chapter 87 Event

He Jingtong looked at Zhou Li with a slightly cold look in his eyes.

For some reason, the adult man who was being stared at had a vague feeling that everything was seen through.

Zhou Li felt a chill in his heart, but said with a smile: "After that incident, I took the initiative to contact official personnel. The final result was that I paid double the market value of my neighbor's house, and now I am no longer a wanted criminal..."

"But unfortunately, the money I saved before is only enough to pay for it." Zhou Li said with a wry smile. He originally wanted to face He Jingtong with this expression, but when he saw He Jingtong's eyes, he couldn't go on, and finally he could only pretend to lower his head.

“So now I’m homeless.”

"…Although it seems unreasonable to ask for a child to be taken in, I think the nutritious meals I made taste pretty good."

This is not simply asking for shelter, but a reasonable exchange of value.

At the same time, statements with rhetorical questions always seem to have a more teasing meaning. Once these words were spoken, Zhou Li also believed that he and He Jingtong had become closer.

The unnatural appearances gradually disappeared.

Zhou Li straightened his face and said, "Although I am sorry to say this to you as an adult, I really have no choice, so I want you to help me."

Zhou Li himself knew that such words were unreasonable. The only thing he could rely on was the education that He Jingtong had received.

——We can’t just ignore those who need help.

Especially when it is not difficult for you.

This information was specifically told to Zhou Li by someone who was responsible for analyzing He Jingtong's psychology and personality.

At this time, facing Zhou Li's long speech, He Jingtong did not even ask for any reasons, but just said: "I will help you."

"If you really don't want to help me, I might have to sleep under the bridge tonight..."

After Zhou Li finished speaking, he realized what He Jingtong had just said.

He was a little dazed, but more than that, he couldn't believe it.

No matter how much professionals analyzed He Jingtong's character, Zhou Li could not imagine that such a good-natured person would appear in a young man.

Young people should be full of vigor and vitality.

Zhou Li even thought: "Shouldn't you be questioning my behavior at that moment? After getting rid of the identity of a wanted criminal, why didn't you try to find a job and work hard to save yourself, but instead came to you, a high school student, to ask for help..."

He thought so and said so.

"But finding a job is not that easy. Let's not talk about what you did before you became a wanted criminal. As a spiritualist, even if you become a cashier, you will only bring trouble to the people around you."

He Jingtong explained from a factual perspective.

Adults may doubt that minors have difficulty understanding each other, primarily because minors generally have difficulty expressing their thoughts and ideas in a logical and rational way of dialogue.

But in He Jingtong's opinion, this is obviously not stressful.

"Unless you want to become a wanted criminal again and live a life of wandering, you will not be able to survive in the world of ordinary people after awakening as a spiritual master."

“Unless you are strong enough to face all the troubles, you will be driven by the troubles to face more and bigger troubles.”

He Jingtong used language to describe the scenes that Zhou Li might encounter if he was just Zhou Li.

"After comprehensive consideration, coming to me is actually your best choice. After all, there is a model in the academy system that seals the abilities of psychics and makes them return to being ordinary people."

"Maybe I can help in this regard." He Jingtong said to Zhou Li calmly.

But He Jingtong knew very well that Zhou Li would never regard this calm expression as indifference.

He only thought that He Jingtong was a child who wholeheartedly hoped that he could live a good life.

And if Zhou Li was simply a nutritionist wanted criminal, even if he couldn't be frank at this moment, he could just say that he was scared to death because he set fire to his neighbor's house and fled in a hurry...

Zhou Li's character would definitely be moved by He Jingtong's words.

It's because He Jingtong took everything into consideration and polished the details of adult dignity.

But he didn't belittle Zhou Li by saying that he wasn't working hard enough...

Would you want to change such a person, so that he can become a tool in the hands of some powerful people?

He Jingtong's eyes were as calm as ever, but he easily placed all the difficult problems that tortured the soul in front of Zhou Li.

"It's still..." The last word almost slipped out, but Zhou Li forced the tail sound into the depths of his throat, as if he had not said anything just now, and thanked repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you so much, thank you for your help."

At this moment, he no longer had the false sense of embarrassment, but was instead filled with an indescribable heaviness.

The order he received was very simple, to influence He Jingtong, to influence his thinking from the smallest details, so that the boy who had the potential to become a Z-level spirit would eventually become a tool that could be used to do whatever he was told.

Why is it that after aliens have coexisted with human history until now, some humans have come to believe that aliens are the end of human development?

It's just because, ordinary people can't do anything about them.

Any weapon that can be held in the hands, kitchen knives, steel pipes, baseball bats...even pistols, razor blades, small rocket launchers...these are all useless to the spirits.

Without a spiritualist, strange spirits are nothing but natural disasters that cause destruction.

Therefore, even in such a natural disaster, the person who has all the memories of the original body will vent his malice to him without hesitation.

What’s more, the injured person is facing death.

But this is just the perception of ordinary people who cannot get strong protection.

Just like the ordinary subjects that run parallel to the psychic subjects, the students there, including their parents, never need to think about their own losses, but whether they can continue to enjoy the privileges brought by their own resources after their death.

Even if it was a monster with its own memories——

It still doesn't matter.

And if He Jingtong can be controlled, it means that all the spirits with strength lower than his will also be controllable.

The disobedient spirits were killed.

Under violent rule, the living people have several years, or even decades, to consider how to build the supernatural society into a place suitable for their survival.

Then, what awaits them is to subjectively or passively abandon their human bodies and become a member of the spiritual society where everyone has immortality.

He Jingtong symbolizes a new world.

Of course, people who have such thoughts still cannot speak out their despicable thoughts. All Zhou Li knew was that He Jingtong, a boy who should not have died, had become a controllable danger.

Afterwards, the lethality of dangerous goods can be accurately targeted at other countries.

Whether it is the exchange of interests or the intimidation of force, those things will naturally make people's blood boil.

Zhou Li even maintained a high sense of honor when he chose to take on this task.

But when he actually came into contact with He Jingtong, instead of the boy who walked to the brink of death again and again in the underground laboratory just to become stronger...

Zhou Li hesitated.

He was thinking, did he really want to make He Jingtong a tool?

Zhou Li never thought that he couldn't succeed. In his opinion, he had learned too much professional knowledge related to psychology. Even his acting skills had been taught by many professionals.

How could Zhou Li fail in this trap that was specifically set for He Jingtong?

But what did He Jingtong do wrong to have to become a tool?

It's just a strange person who comes to seek his help. Isn't it better to just refuse him?

What do other people's thoughts and experiences have to do with He Jingtong?

At that moment, Zhou Li had the same harsh thoughts as He Wanjin had in the past. For a man-made spiritual master who was specially trained, would his selflessness be too hypocritical and not come from his heart...?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Zhou Li wanted to slap himself.

The one with the problem is clearly He Yunian.

No matter how many coincidences led He Jingtong to become who he is today, his good thoughts about others are never diluted, and the benefits he actually brings to others are never false.

Returning to the idea of ​​trying to influence and control He Jingtong, Zhou Li felt that he deserved to die.

In particular, he heard He Jingtong say, "Before my uncle left this city, he gave me his apartment to manage. It's not convenient for you to live in the private room, but after cleaning the guest room, you should be able to have a good rest for a while."

Zhou Li finally followed He Jingtong to the apartment in silence.

On the way, he was still thinking that he might like the sentence, "It is inconvenient for you to live in the private room."

A kind but not bottomless saint.

Afterwards, He Jingtong's behavior was particularly close to what Zhou Li confirmed.

The boy was standing in the entrance before leaving the apartment.

After He Jingtong took off his indoor slippers, he bent down and took out his outer shoes from the shoe cabinet. When he bent down, his school uniform naturally lifted up, and large scars that had not been completely repaired were faintly visible on his waist and abdomen.

It is truly tragic.

But then came the clear and pure voice of the young man: "Nearby department stores, vegetable markets and other places can be reached by navigation. Although I can take you in, I don't have extra money to support your daily consumption, so you may need to try to use the computer in the guest room to do some part-time work on the Internet."

"I will also ask the academy to see if they can seal your ability and let you return to ordinary life..."

If he really was a homeless person, Zhou Li would probably open his heart to He Jingtong immediately.

Even if Zhou Li was not a homeless person, he still completely gave up the mission of influencing He Jingtong in his heart.

If favorability is really the so-called full percentage, then by now, Zhou Li's favorability towards He Jingtong must have soared by 100.

Afterwards, He Jingtong left the apartment.

Only Zhou Li was left standing in the room. He looked down at the floor as he took out a receiver smaller than his little finger nail from his pocket and crushed it with one hand.

He Jingtong, who was hailing a ride on the side of the road, chuckled.

The wiretap on the back of his school uniform collar suddenly fell to the ground, and was then kicked into the sewer by a passerby who didn't see it.

When taking a taxi back to school, the system asked He Jingtong in his mind: [Zhou Li should not be an important person, right? ]

[What's the point of having him on your side? ]

He Jingtong also responded from the heart: [What do you think is the significance of my uncle giving me the key to the apartment? ]

Clerics are not suitable for living alone, unless they are really powerful enough to not be afraid of any trouble.

He Wanchen also knew that He Jingtong was going to live on campus, but he still chose to stay in this apartment... Just like the meaning of the system's inquiry, it was completely meaningless.

He Jingtong simply wanted to do that.

Unfortunately, the system didn't think so. The data flow it was running was accelerated more than ten times in an instant: […So you had already calculated it so long ago?! Impossible, even machine analysis can't do this! ]

He Jingtong stopped replying to the system and let the city scenery outside the car window whiz by.

"Who knows." The voice sounded leisurely when the taxi door was closed, and was completely swallowed up by the sound of footsteps and the starting of the car engine.

After returning to college, He Jingtong received a message from Jian Zirui, saying that he wanted to meet her.

Of course, it wasn't that the teammates suddenly decided to form a group to fight the aliens in the middle of the night. Jian Zirui sent a message and simply sent a paper bag full of meatballs.

When He Jingtong took it, he couldn't help but look surprised: "Five kilograms, or more?"

"It's only 2.5 kilograms." Jian Zirui used another number to confirm, "Just eat it as a snack, eat more if you're fine. You're too thin. You look skinny and weak, but if you get hurt in a fight with a spirit..."

"Then it will turn into a little dog, right?" He Jingtong held the paper bag with both hands and said something. In Jian Zirui's opinion, it didn't sound like something he would say at all.

Jian Zirui was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly: "That's it."

What is worrying is not the scarcity but the inequality.

The place they agreed to meet was right next to a flower bed. It was dark at night, and the shadows of the plants covered another paper bag placed on the edge of the flower bed.

Jian Zirui picked it up with one hand and handed it to He Jingtong: "Please take this to Qi Xueyi."

Then, Jian Zirui said goodbye decisively and left.

Liu Hejing was holding two paper bags alone and briefly thought about life.

When I returned to the dormitory building and knocked on the door of Qi Xueyi's room next door, the latter also looked dully at the big bag of meatballs.

Abbreviated as stupid.

"...Next time, try to give a more substantial gift." Qi Xueyi emphasized the word "substantial".

"You might consider carrying a bag of Wuchang rice."

Before Qi Xueyi could react to what He Jingtong said, He Jingtong had already returned to the next door with his big bag of meatballs. This series of actions made even the system sigh: [This daily leisure is a bit cute.]

[Also, I've confirmed once again that you really are a person who can take jokes.]

"No, I never joke."

.

…

A few days before the midterm exam, He Jingtong gradually became familiar with the three-person team of Gu Yu, Fang Qi, and Bai Yuewen.

Unlike everything in the original plot, after actually meeting her, He Jingtong discovered that Bai Yuewen was a very cheerful person. Gu Yu habitually played the good guy, but many times, his blushing face could scare people to death.

Fang Qi...

"I feel like there's nothing much to say." These words were said by Qi Xueyi.

In response, Fang Qi said that he had the following six points to say: "..."

Fang Qi is a paralyzed person who doesn't talk much most of the time except when facing serious matters.

When asked why this is the case, Fang Qi would only say expressionlessly: "Because talking is tiring. It may be because my facial muscles are more developed, so every time I talk, I feel much more tired than ordinary people."

After spending some time together, He Jingtong raised his hands and counted, and suddenly realized that at that moment, in addition to the names of his two teammates, he could already call out the names of three teams and nine classmates.

Then, it’s the last weekend of October.

On October 31st, He Jingtong received a task specifically assigned to him to handle supernatural incidents.

"What kind of task is it that needs to be shoved into me today when tomorrow is the midterm exam?" He Jingtong raised his head and looked at Cui Tong.

The dean holding the mission report also looked unhappy. Cui Tong frowned and said, "It's a top-level A-level spirit."

Normally, students would never accept such a task, even students of the city's university who study psychic science would not do so. This task should be given to professional psychics in charge of the area.

But the problem is that the other party has been trapped by something recently and cannot get out of it.

It was not realistic to temporarily transfer people from other areas. Usually, in such situations, the college teachers would provide support, but there were too many things to do during the midterm exams, and Cui Tong was too busy to handle them.

The university isn't much better...

Cui Tong explained a lot, but in the end, it all came down to one sentence: "No one else can handle this matter, so I can only entrust it to you."

"Is that so?" He Jingtong asked back.

Cui Tong nodded without understanding why.

The dean of studies had no idea that this mission, which seemed to be only for He Jingtong, was actually just a task that was deliberately pushed here by someone with ulterior motives in an attempt to use it to explore He Jingtong's strength.

Of course, maybe it’s not that he didn’t notice it, but his cognition was also affected…

He Jingtong finally took on the task.

Before the official action was taken, He Jingtong called Zong Feng.

During the phone call, He Jingtong asked Zong Feng exactly if there was anyone who had the same abilities, characteristics, and nature as him, or whose role was equivalent.

Zong Feng turned to He Jingtong and asked, "What happened?"

After he finished speaking, he quickly added: "I didn't mean to find out what happened to you. I just said it out of habit."

"As for what you said, is there anyone with similar abilities and characteristics to me... yes, there is, but he should have nothing to do with you."

Zong Feng said on the phone: "Everyone who needs to know the identity of that person probably knows it, and it's not confidential information, so I'll just tell you directly."

"His name is Le He..."

Le He, a person who can seriously be connected with He Wanjin.

About twenty years ago, when He Jingtong was not yet born, there was already a group of people who believed that supernatural beings were the pinnacle of human development.

Of course, they have made similar attempts to establish a supernatural society, but those experiments have all ended in failure.

As for the people who participated in the experiment, apart from ordinary people who provided ideas, it was a group of children who actually made the attempt.

That is He Wanjin and his peers.

This group of people includes Lehe.

In fact, the reason why the ability tendency characteristics are not as prominent and important as the quality of the priest's soul is that the power manifestation brought by the ability tendency characteristics...there is no weak one at all.

A large number of children who awakened to become spiritual masters were all taken away for the secret experiment.

The bad results brought a bad legacy. The experiment failed, and the children could not go home, nor could they tell others what they had done by any means.

They gradually differentiated and merged into the crowd, and usually became silent characters.

But despite this, they are still under control. Just like He Wanjin was repeatedly warned by his assistant just eight hours after he came out.

This group of people are only allowed to have freedom within limits.

Every use of their abilities will be recorded.

Of course, Zong Feng didn't know such details.

All he knew was that Le He was also an official, just like the very "favored" He Wanjin, and that he had always used his abilities to serve the group rather than himself.

Therefore, when Zong Feng heard He Jingtong's question, the first thought in his mind was whether something had happened...

After explaining the relevant information he knew, Zong Feng said a few more words: "I have met Le He once. As an adult, I personally think that he is a good person with a good personality. Although we have only met once, we can still go out for a drink if we make an appointment."

Zong Feng eventually noticed some problems from He Jingtong's questions, and he could only provide more ideas and information from his own perspective.

He also said: "If anything bad happens, I can always help you."

Even Zong Feng said he was ready to help, but Cui Tong felt that the matter could only be pushed to He Jingtong...

"Nothing, sorry to bother you, senior. Thank you." He Jingtong thanked sincerely.

"However, as a minor, I cannot go out drinking with you, but if you fail at work or in love, I will accept being your tree hole in the middle of the night."

Zong Feng heard this and couldn't help but laughed and cursed: "Do I need you?"

After saying a few more words to dispel Zong Feng's worries, He Jingtong hung up the phone.

At this time, he was sitting in a car driven by a member of the "N" organization, and his destination was an abandoned factory.

After the car stopped, He Jingtong got out of the car calmly.

In sight, the factory was located among many trees. It was not only dilapidated, but also exuded a strange chemical smell.

Although he already knew what would happen next, He Jingtong still maintained his character.

A person who can no longer see the future clearly and can only determine facts by yes or no.

"There is a conspiracy behind this, right?"

【yes.】

The exact word appeared in his mind. He Jingtong glanced at the morning sky and sincerely hoped that this incident would not delay him from taking the midterm exam tomorrow. !
