Chapter 96: Galaxy

"That's not okay."

Inside the system space door, He Jingtong's consciousness was leisurely holding a cup of black tea with a sigh.

Next to him, there was a projected light red mechanical object floating.

That is the system. The system is very popular now and it makes people cry.

"I understand that you want to deepen your soul transformation, but you don't have to be so harsh on me."

"Is there?" He Jingtong replied before Xiang Li Xingqing actually took action. "But in my opinion, these things are the most appropriate means of response."

"For example, when you killed Fu Zexun, it was clearly murder, but no one cared?" The system rang from inside the space gate with an electromagnetic mechanical sound.

He Jingtong did not intend to answer this question, but said: "The fate of those who resist fate is to resist fate."

On the table next to the boy, there was a comic book sequel to "Alien".

In the comics, He Jingtong suffered a similar treatment.

But he really knew nothing. He watched the people related to Peach Blossom Spring appear beside him, and was completely unaware that he was deceived and cheated by Zhou Li.

The kindness of people who are inclined to do good is the best place to make use of it.

Righteousness is the best excuse. If you are selfish, you are letting down the world. If you only live for yourself, that is wrong.

What's more, He Jingtong in the comics never lives for himself.

"Being controlled by others without knowing anything, and being controlled by everyone else..."

"It is better to choose the latter."

Somewhere in my heart that has never been pointed out has already been watching everything that is bound to happen with indifference and calmness.

He knew about the craziness of Le He and Zhuang Yifei, and that Qu Shu, who looked the most normal, was actually the most paranoid. He also understood that Xiang Li Xingqing had evil in her heart, and firmly believed that his dedication to turning all bad things around after the evil happened.

Everyone who comes out of Peach Blossom Spring is twisted and crazy.

Without further ado, He Jingtong, who was originally in a coma, suddenly opened his eyes before Xiang Li Xingqing actually took action.

He looked perfectly fine. When he opened his eyes, he looked the same as before he took the midterm exam, with the only difference being a layer of green under his eyelids.

But that green is particularly deep.

An Lai, who was trying to pick up He Jingtong, was stunned for a moment, but he also noticed the green marks in the corners of the boy's eyes.

It was like a special effects makeup that made An Lai unable to control himself from reaching out to wipe it off. However, he found that no matter how hard he rubbed his fingertips, it could not bring about any change.

"...Are you okay?" Such a weak sentence made An Lai smile bitterly, "Are you still able to use your strength? Your exam is over, it's almost time for us to leave."

An Lai did not say anything abnormal about the test, nor did he talk about what happened before.

Without saying a word, Xiang Li Xingqing had used a strange ability to trace back before.

An Lai knew that the price of going back was to use a hundred times the damage of his own time gate to reverse the time gate of the designated object...

This ability is more suitable for emergency assistance. Before Xiangli Xingqing came to the academy, she also played this kind of role.

However, compared to taking emergency measures to reverse the time gate when faced with truly extreme situations, those who once controlled the progress of Peach Blossom Land would rather not let the situation go to extremes.

In other words, Xiang Li Xingqing's value is not even enough to be included in the highest level of confidentiality closed file.

Hoshiharu Aori's value in that experiment was simply to participate in it as a spiritualist.

"Not, not bad." He Jingtong felt his voice sounded a little strange, so he raised his hand and touched his Adam's apple.

An Lai's heart tightened, and he asked worriedly, "Did he hurt his throat or something?"

"It's just that I'm not speaking smoothly." He Jingtong smiled, helped An Lai, and stood up on his own initiative. "It will be fine soon."

"As for Teacher Xiangli..." He Jingtong looked at Xiangli Xingqing who was standing beside him in a daze, smiled again, and took the initiative to approach her.

Then, before Anlai and the expedition members could react, the young man stabbed them with his sword.

Xiang Li Xingqing's eyes flashed with disbelief, but she could only faint with regret.

"I'm sorry, even if I reverse the time gate of this space gate, you will only die here, and there is no way to save you..."

There is no way to save his soul.

Reversing the time gate of this space gate means that the water, objects, individual life forms, trees, grass, everything in this space gate must be reversed.

This would only result in Xiangli Xingqing being completely destroyed without leaving any trace, and she would not be able to realize her dream.

He Jingtong's unspoken words, mixed with various messages, were engraved into An Lai's heart, prompting him to ask involuntarily: "Is your prophecy really no longer useful?"

Before He Jingtong could answer, An Lai took the initiative to say, "Let's go back to the academy first and talk about it later if there is anything else."

"Also, a few of you come with me." An Lai looked at the five members of the expedition team.

All five of them were confused, but they understood what had happened before. If they hadn't been overwhelmed by the psychological feeling of having survived, who knows how their world views would have been shattered and reorganized.

Just go.

Go to another world that is destined to crush their worldview into powder.

And, they also wanted to know more about He Jingtong.

No matter how you look at it, he is a lifesaver.

Afterwards, the group was sent back to the village in two batches, and An Lai took the initiative to provide the driver with ten times the gas fee and ten times the labor penalty, as well as an extra red envelope.

Under the latter's happy gaze, the group got into the car of the "N" organization members and truly returned to the college.

Xiang Li Xingqing was sent to the school clinic, and the five members of the expedition team were handed over to the members of the "N" organization for communication. At the same time, He Jingtong was also taken to An Lai's office.

An Lai has too many questions that he wants to know the answers to, and the one he wants to know most is this: "Is your ability to predict the future really completely ineffective?"

"When the fate of many people is changed, the future will indeed become unpredictable, but you who can see many possible futures can actually know what will happen in the future."

Yasu said this in a positive tone: "Also, I have only heard of ability bias characteristics being developed to become stronger and stronger, and degeneration is rare."

"Seeing multiple destiny lines is a kind of enhancement. Having the means to verify possibilities through yes and no can also be said to be an additional new function. The so-called inability to see the future..."

An Lai sat on the sofa, looking a little decadent.

What he should do most now is to hand over the live broadcast-related matters to the members of the "N" organization and make appropriate blocking and coverage changes. But he doesn't want to do anything now, he just wants to know the answers to the questions that have been going on in his mind for countless times.

Then, An Lai raised his head and looked at He Jingtong again.

He Jingtong looked back at An Lai and said, "Just like you said, I just can't figure out how the future will develop because I see too many possibilities."

An Lai said sharply, "For example, Teacher Xiangli did not take you to this midterm exam. For another example, the teacher who supervised your exam was not Xiangli Xingqing."

"Or in other words, Xiang Li Xingqing should have stopped the exam as soon as she found out something was wrong, and stayed away from the reservoir with you."

These possibilities could all be the past, the future, or the present.

An Lai's mind is now full of thinking about finding Tan Dong to verify He Jingtong's physical condition, but he knows that if some questions are not clarified, He Jingtong will never tell.

Or, he won't take the initiative to explain.

"You can indeed see many, many destiny lines, and those destiny lines will have different developments. For example, I may send you to Tan Dong to check your situation, or I may keep you here to continue asking questions."

"If I wanted to send you for a medical checkup, I wouldn't bring you into my office. If I bring you into my office, it means I want to ask questions."

"This simple logic may seem too crude, but for you, wanting to verify the future is just a change from intuitively observing the future to what you are doing now, through elimination again and again, locking in how the final result will develop before the final result appears."

An Lai figured it all out.

What if we see more of the future? The future will eventually develop in one direction. By eliminating everything that has happened before, it is not difficult to lock in that future.

He can still see the future, but compared to the unique prophecy before, the future that can be locked at the moment requires too much foreword.

Also, even if He Jingtong could still change the future, he couldn't start planning from the beginning like he did against Fu Zexun.

An Lai said in a heavy tone: "You are just watching your soul's future becoming more spiritualized and gradually reaching the present..."

"Why don't you resist?" An Lai couldn't help but raise his voice, "Why don't you run away?"

"I know you've considered many possibilities, but have you ever thought that after something happens to you, your teammates, your teachers, and even me...will all feel sorry for you?"

An Lai's tone became softer and softer. He knew very well that if he changed his words to: "Why don't you take care of yourself a little more..."

That will be of no use.

An Lai once again complained about the artificial spiritualist education that He Yunian had come up with.

That kind of education destroyed He Jingtong's potential for growth and even prevented him from learning to be selfish.

"I'm sorry." He Jingtong finally just lowered his head.

An Lai smiled, a smile full of powerlessness and self-mockery. He even felt that he could see through what He Jingtong was thinking.

What else could it be?

Of course, that’s because the five members of the expedition team would not not go to the reservoir just because he didn’t take the exam.

The ability to predict requires countless eliminations before it can lock in the future in advance, but how far in advance can it be predicted?

Contact the five members of the expedition team in advance and ask them not to go?

It's impossible.

Indeed, He Jingtong can use his ability of yes or no to try to lock in the future in advance, but how much of the future is there?

Can he eliminate it countless times?

I can't do it, even if I did...

Can he really ignore the desire for revenge of those involved in the Peach Blossom Spring incident?

Why is live streaming resuming?

Nothing is more clear than An Lai, who knows that ability is related to procedures.

What he pressed was not just the button to end the live broadcast, but also the determination to make a choice.

How can He Jingtong achieve the best of both worlds?

The conclusion is still that it cannot be done.

"Those who resist fate are destined to resist fate." An Lai bit through the soft flesh on the inside of his left cheek and let the bloody smell spread throughout his mouth.

"I can't let you ignore their pain, and you can't just watch the expedition members go deep into the dangerous area..." When An Lai finished speaking, He Jingtong suddenly raised his head.

An Lai smiled again, his eyes showing the heartache and determination of a child.

"But I can. I can bring those who tried to harm you to the spiritual court."

An Lai looked at the green color at the corners of He Jingtong's eyes, and his heart suddenly ached.

"Things were bound to get out of hand, and I failed in my duty by not interrupting the live broadcast in advance."

"It's impossible to try to save the situation. There were hundreds of thousands of people watching the live broadcast at the time, and the spread of the video will only get wider and wider."

An Lai lowered his head, his tone becoming calmer and calmer. He buried all his emotions deep in his heart: "Every time someone is born or dies in the family, professionals will visit and register. This will only make ordinary people understand that it is just evidence of the existence of monsters."

"No one wants to be kept in the dark, even if it's supposedly for their own good."

There was silence for a while, and An Lai's mood gradually calmed down. He said calmly: "I want to bring Le He to the spiritual master's court. I know that this is just a despicable person like me who wants to pass on the blame and does not want to take responsibility..."

He meant that he could have stopped the live broadcast earlier.

He said he was going to rescue He Jingtong, but in reality he did not provide any help.

Instead, afterward, he could only meanly push all the blame onto Lok Wo, letting him bear the blame alone, in order to protect himself who was negligent...

——It’s so ugly that it’s unbelievable.

An Lai's words were suddenly interrupted by He Jingtong's heavier voice: "It's not like that."

He Jingtong looked at An Lai and said firmly: "The current situation is the best outcome I can bring about."

An Lai looked at He Jingtong in a daze.

But then he smiled and said, "I thought you would never tell me."

An Lai always remembered that the purpose of this conversation was to get He Jingtong to say something that he would never actively explain.

"If you can see countless futures, you should also be able to try to guide the future you want into reality."

"Tell me why you want this reality."

The young man looked at him in a daze, and the faint green trace at the corner of his eye became a little brighter.

He seemed to be unable to react, why he suddenly had to speak up, but An Lai also looked at him waiting for him to explain. After a brief silence, He Jingtong finally spoke up and said why he wanted this reality.

"Among the countless possibilities in the future, each one will lead to a break between ordinary people and spiritualists..."

"People related to Taohuayuan have already started to silence and hire trolls after the first live broadcast was interrupted. Events that happen on the Internet will eventually be forgotten by netizens, and there will always be new and more interesting things happening."

"In a future I saw, the five members of the expedition were forced to sign a confidentiality agreement and explained live that everything was just a special effect. In addition, there was also a rumor on the Internet that the two leading actors of a certain star-studded movie were together in real life."

Those two people are Luo Yucheng and Ji Yu.

But in fact, the relationship between the two of them is not very good, it can even be said to be bad.

People who originally had nothing to do with the world of spiritualists will be forced to become couples because of this incident.

As for the so-called breakup between ordinary people and spiritualists...

“That’s the future of education when it’s impacted.”

Qu Shu's efforts, those who constantly told the first-year students of Elite College that all spirits must be killed, were not enough to extend to the entire society.

Spiritual masters are still a very small group of people.

People related to Taohuayuan understand very well that if they want to make the claim that the future is a world of spirits come true, what they should actively infiltrate is not the spiritualist's education system, but the education received by ordinary people.

The official statement is justice.

So many rich and powerful people believe that spiritualization is the future of mankind, but a few idiots who came out of nowhere say that what they say is false and wrong...

Will ordinary people believe it?

Of course, it is not so easy for them to believe that spiritualization is correct. After all, the ability to think still exists, so the so-called brainwashing can only change it subtly.

But those who want to change have countless ways to turn their ideas into reality.

Just pick a few people, give them some money, some rewards, and let them demonstrate the educational results they want and tell others about them...

As time goes by, the person speaking will begin to believe it, and the person being spoken to will also begin to recognize that it is correct.

Everyone around me believed it...

Who can not believe it?

From the perspective of popular psychology, it is so obvious.

Even after such a scene happened, there are still many people who privately think that becoming a spirit is not a good thing, but can they say it?

Neither can I.

Because that's what everyone says.

Although there are a large number of people who privately believe that spirits are not right, they are like isolated islands in the crowd. They have long been isolated by the firm believers who symbolize the sea water, and they cannot unite to form land.

No one would speak their mind.

In such a future, the psychic, who has been at war with the aliens for countless years, will become nothing more than a remnant abandoned by the new world.

"No spiritual master will have good results."

In such a paradise imagined by certain people, there is no place for spiritualists to survive.

"In that future, I can't be sure whether the so-called 'the end of human development is to become a ghost' is correct. I only know that in that future, everyone will die."

He Jingtong would never let that result happen.

They say that only 100,000 people died, but hundreds of millions of people can safely achieve eternal life...

"What about you?" An Lai did not consider that and said, "Have you ever thought that in such a world, you are destined to become the most powerful spirit and have everything that others desire?"

"Eternal life, wealth, power, everything you want, you can get it in a world full of spirits. Because you are strong, you are strong enough, you are strong enough to ignore everything. Your existence in such a world is equivalent to a legend."

An Lai felt like a bad guy who seduced students, but he knew that what he said was probably true.

"Why did you deny such a future that belonged to you?"

"But why should I let it exist?" He Jingtong asked in a rhetorical tone, but his eyes were extremely firm.

"Ordinary people are so far away from me. If they were by my side, they would be like the five members of the expedition team. I would try my best to save them. But there are so many ordinary people. They are not by my side, not in front of me..."

"Then why should I watch you die because of them?"

When He Jingtong said that he was looking at An Lai, he was always looking at him.

Those black eyes contained all the darkness of the world, but also contained distant galaxies that were beyond the reach of humankind.

An Lai smiled, and as she smiled tears began to flow.

Those galaxies that are so far away that they are unreachable have long ago rushed towards the spiritual masters, towards them, regardless of everything.

He wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "Should I be glad that you are selfish now? Or should I say that the selfishness you have is so great."

He Jingtong lowered his head again.

"Okay, I won't say that again." An Lai didn't know if He Jingtong was shy, but he knew he had to say the next words.

"So I can assume that you are also someone who wants ordinary people to know the existence of spiritual masters and spirits?"

An Lai did not wait for the boy to give an answer, and said: "You are not doing this for the revenge of those who once participated in the Peach Blossom Spring, but for yourself and for the people you care about, so that you will not be abandoned by the world."

The world that had not been protected by this spiritual master for countless years was completely abandoned in the long river of time.

"From a certain perspective, that's true." He Jingtong admitted this and nodded.

An Lai was even happier.

"You want to give ordinary people the basic right to choose their future without being brainwashed."

An Lai stated this fact, and was also excited and moved that He Jingtong might have imagined that he had never received education from an artificial spiritual master.

This kind of imagination will make the boy understand that he can live another way.

Yasushi was happy that the young man had such an idea.

This joy was ignored by An Lai, and He Jingtong would also feel painful because of this imagination.

People like He Jingtong are destined to bear all the hardships and pains that ordinary people suffer because they know about the other world.

He will feel sad for others' misfortune and happy for others' happiness.

Empathy is always untenable in pessimistic statements, but it is the core of He Jingtong's life.

Although this idea is so saintly, that's just the kind of person he is.

He is an artificial spiritual master who is deliberately taught by humans.

An Lai clenched his fists and said in a serious tone: "I will let ordinary people know more about the other world, and I will make everything go smoothly."

"This is not just what you, the prophet, want to achieve, but also what all spiritualists should strive for."

“No one can infer from the results whether a future where everyone becomes a spirit is correct, but we can make everyone start thinking about this question.”

An Lai could only think positively. !
