Chapter 1269: Shadow
This is not an exception," Xilingchen ignored Nangong Fei's shock, as if telling an ancient story, and continued indifferently, "Soon after the tragedy of the Time Bell Tower, there was a training class held by an unknown force, claiming to have been officially authorized by Tiangongmen to conduct targeted tutoring for students and give them tickets to pass the assessment. ”
"Many parents who want their son to become Jackie Chan believe in them and rush to send their children in. But what awaited these students there was a trial of death and inhumane corporal punishment. The instructor of the training class will inject chips into the brains of the trainees and turn them into puppets of the walking dead, just to test whether they are qualified to be made into evil emperor containers. ”
After that incident, although the Tiangongmen assessment was officially held soon after, and the name of official tutoring was already self-defeating, these people's secret actions did not stop. If you have the habit of watching social news often, you should know that every once in a while, there will always be a few students who mysteriously disappear or die mysteriously on campus, and the final investigation results are often closed by suicide. ”
"What are you talking about......" Nangong Fei's breathing suddenly became short, and in this office with the air conditioner on, she felt her scalp tingle for the first time, like falling into an ice cave, "What do you mean......?"
"There are so many students, who cares if they die, everyone's own survival pressure is so great. Xi Lingchen was still in that understated tone, full of the indifference of bystanders, "Besides, it has already been said that it is a suicide, except for the family, who will insist on exploring the truth behind it? ”
"Even if it's a family member, anyway, the official conclusion is that you commit suicide, what can you do? Maybe they insist on not accepting it, but they are alone, they can't do anything, and the people who speak up for them will get tired, and in the end, no matter how big the waves are, they will be drowned in the ocean, and they will be gone. The former onlookers were nothing more than being instigated, complaining about a few words of national policy, or calling on everyone to pay attention to the depression group, nothing more. ”
"Because they are failures, their bodies cannot withstand the development of chips, and when they collapse, they are destroyed by nature. Such experiments have not stopped, and even today in your academy, they are still going on. ”
As he spoke, he casually raised his gaze and looked at the buzzing campus.
Outside the window, the sun is shining.
A few boys were running around the playground and playing basketball with their peers. There are always a few athletes in each grade, and this sports field is a natural stage, where they have an infinite aura.
There are also a few groups of girls walking by with a smile, maybe they are discussing the next lessons, maybe they are planning the arrangements after school. The girl on the far left also turned slightly to the side, dodging the basketball that flew sideways, and several of them turned around and laughed and scolded together.
Everything looks so good.
It's a world under the sun, and who would know that there is a dark world that is always watching them?
Perhaps among these most ordinary students, some people have been eroded by chips. Or, they may fall victim to the sudden loss of control of the test subject one day.
No one cares about the lives of a few ordinary trainees, they are too insignificant to the whole world.
And no one cares, they are individuals first and foremost before they are experiments.
"Similar incidents also happen at all levels," Xi Lingchen retracted his gaze, walked to his desk, and started to make himself a cup of tea, "Even the heads of state, princes and guests, many of them have been implanted with chips. It will be manipulated by them to issue a series of regulations involving politics, military, and so on. The purpose, naturally, is to change in a direction that is beneficial to them*. In this way, you should know why those training classes are so bad, but the whole society is still singing and dancing, right?"
"From enterprises to factories, there will be special personnel responsible for collecting the physical examination data of employees and looking for the most suitable shell to be transformed into the container of the evil emperor. ”
"The shady curtain has long penetrated into all walks of life, but ordinary people still don't know about it. ”
"These are called 'shadow forces'. Xi Lingchen explained responsibly, "That is, on the surface, you won't even know about their existence, but their influence has long been a force that cannot be ignored." It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the real promoters of the current world pattern. ”
"However, you can also think of them as having a unified name, which is 'Evil God Dao'. ”
"Evil God Dao?" As Nangong Wuji's daughter, Nangong Fei obviously knew many things that others didn't know, and when she heard this term, she was obviously stunned for a moment, "Isn't the Evil God Dao already gone?"
"As I said, it's just a superficial disappearance. The corners of Xiling Chen's lips hooked up a trace of cold arc, "As long as this soil that gave birth to the Evil Emperor still exists, the Evil God Dao will not die." They will perish again and again, but they will still be reborn again and again. Perhaps in the changes of the years, they are no longer the original group of people, but as long as they are willing, they can develop new blood at any time. Like, the moles who are now blending into your teaching ranks. ”
"The descendants of the Evil God Dao seem to be suppressed by all sides and cannot tolerate the existence of the world, but in fact, they are the real masters of the underground. For thousands of years, it has always been. ”
"The Evil Emperor is about to be resurrected, and the Evil God Dao descendants have fallen into the final madness, so their actions over the years will be more bold and straightforward than ever. For these people, it is finally about to regain their legitimacy after a long wait, but for most people......" he took a sip from his teaglass, "this world, which has been manipulated by the evil emperor, is degrading day by day. Before the advent of the new era, whoever can escape the future purge will have their destiny. ”
Listening to his high-minded talk, Nangong Fei was speechless for a long time.
She is not a stupid white sweet with empty beauty, world-related information, even if she doesn't want to listen to it for so many years, she is often forced to listen to it by her father. But now, for the first time, she feels that she has lived for so many years, as if she has lived blind.
Maybe it's the past few years with the students that have made her mind simpler. She enjoys such a simple and beautiful life, and every day when she opens her eyes, she can see the sun rising as usual, shining on the earth. But Xi Lingchen's words made her faintly shudder.
This sunlit world has always been wrapped in an invisible layer of darkness. So who knows if the sunlight they can see now is really sunlight, or is it just ...... In order to confuse them, the evil gods and Taoist tribes opened a corner of darkness, and put in a glimmer of light?
"Sometimes, I just can't see what you're thinking. After a while, Nangong Fei refocused his gaze and looked at Xilingchen who was leisurely sipping tea on the opposite side - after completely revealing the dark corner of the world, he could still drink tea like this!
Before today, she had always thought that he was an authentic businessman, who only cared about making money and ignored everything else, but she didn't expect that he still had so many underground secrets. Is it true that the higher a person stands, the inevitable he will come into contact with these dark sides?
"Since you have already chosen to stand on the side of the Prime Minister of the Heavenly Saint Kingdom, if it is as you said, he is already one of the followers of the Mirage Divine Dao...... So, why do you still tell me this? Are you a good person who worries about the country and the people, or are you a profiteer who only thinks about making a fortune?"
"Are you sure you're talking about me?" Xilingchen smiled slightly mockingly, "If darkness is unavoidable, I don't mind going with the flow." But I've always longed for true freedom...... Dean Nangong and I are all the way, I believe you should understand what I mean?"
So far, part of his information has come from Duanmu Zhi, part of it from the Heavenly Saint Prime Minister, and part of it has also come from the dark network.
If Duanmu Zhi entrusted him to collect intelligence in order to fight against the Evil Valley and save the lives of the Silver Fox Clan and himself when necessary, then he was different.
His bottom line has always been very low. Or it can be said that he himself is the only bottom line.
He doesn't care whether it is the evil gods who will rule the world in the future, or these low-level people who are trying to fight. He is willing to take the side that can give him enough benefits after gaining power. In order to ensure this, it is natural that things cannot be done easily.
Today, he also took a fancy to Nangong Fei's resistance potential, so he revealed the secret of the Evil God Dao to her early. If she can really turn things around in the future, she will naturally be grateful for her help. And if the evil god wins, he will act as if nothing has happened.
The same is true for the Heavenly Saint Kingdom's battle for power soon after. Now, he seems to be helping the prime minister and the mirage behind him to collect bait and protect himself, and if Cheng really sits in a big position in the future, he will also get a powerful backer. And once the prime minister fails, he will immediately disassociate himself, sit firmly on his status as a world businessman, and continue to maintain a good relationship with the lord of the country.
No one can buy his true loyalty, and all he will be loyal to is himself.
……
It's night.
The old dean of Zhiyuan College in the past was flipping through a classic book at home. Suddenly, there was a soft knock on his door.
Standing outside the door turned out to be Nangong Fei, whose whole body was shrouded in a hood. After stepping through the door, she cautiously lifted the brim of her hat.
"Nangong niece, what kind of wind is blowing you here?" the old dean squinted his eyes and looked at her playfully.
At the beginning, although she secretly acquired the shares of Zhiyuan College and directly sat on the chairman's position as a major shareholder, she has indeed managed the college thriving over the years, and has sent batches of outstanding graduates to the society, even if she is herself, she may not be able to do better than her. The old dean gradually relieved his heart.
The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, since these young people are so good, it is time to give them power. I have worked hard all my life, and now I have retired to raise birds and grow flowers, which is also a good way of life.
"Dean, I have something important to do with you. When the old dean happily pulled her into the door and wanted to lead her to see the parrot in the study, Nangong Fei hurriedly interrupted his enthusiasm.
"That's right, during the day today, I heard some important secrets about the entire Spirit Continent from Xi Lingchen, the president of the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce......
For the sake of these secrets, she even gave him part of the shares of Zhiyuan Academy in her hand.
Hearing her talk about the plans of the evil gods, especially when it comes to the students of Zhiyuan Academy, there may be some people who have been implanted with chips, and the old dean's face gradually became solemn.
If all this is true...... Then it would be a disaster for the entire academy!
"So, Nangong niece, what do you think?" he asked softly after a long silence.
Nangong Fei replied seriously: "I think that this matter would rather be believed, first of all, it is necessary to thoroughly investigate the teachers and students, and remove this cancer hidden in the academy!"
"Also, we have to find a way to open a breakthrough from this spy and find out who was the one among the exchange students last year who they did not hesitate to destroy the list and cover. After all, the security forces of the Celestial Saints are far stronger than ours, and it may be difficult to invade from the outside world, but if the enemy is mixed in with the exchange students we sent...... This is the channel that they will not be wary of, and the incident started because of us, and I must be responsible for them. ”
"Hehe, not bad, not bad......" The old dean looked at Nangong Fei, who was talking eloquently, and nodded with satisfaction and relief, "But in this way, you are determined to be the enemy of the Evil God Dao?"
Nangong Fei's face flushed slightly: "That's what I thought when I was young and ignorant, so don't make fun of me." As she spoke, her expression became serious again, "I've been with the students day and night for so long, and I've long regarded myself as their 'senior' who is also a teacher and a friend." I love being around the students, and their energy is contagious and gives me new hope every day. ”
"However, when I learned that the Evil God Dao was so desperate that it extended its claws to these innocent students...... I can't tolerate such cruel behavior, I can't tolerate such evil Taoism, so I don't want to hand over the world to them, and I don't want to hand over the future of my students to them!"
"For the sake of Zhiyuan Academy, for the sake of my students, I will definitely fight with them!"
The old dean nodded his head when he heard this, and at the end he raised his hand and patted her shoulder heavily: "Okay...... Putting the interests of the students above your own, you are already a truly qualified teacher! I can finally rest assured that I will be able to trust the academy to you!"
"So, what about that young man?" Then, the old dean suddenly changed his words, "You approached him only because he was the heir of the Evil Emperor...... But after all this time together, do you really have no feelings for him at all?"
Nangong Fei didn't seem to expect the old dean to ask this question, and the blood rushing to the brain was temporarily cold-blooded, and he was speechless for a long time.
"Yes, it was only the Evil Emperor that I loved...... her long eyelashes fell, and she said a secret that she had never told anyone, "but now, I love him." It doesn't matter about strength and background, it's just that he is a person who deserves my appreciation and liking him. I even hope that he is not a container from the beginning, and that we are just like an ordinary couple, living a simple life for the rest of our lives. ”
"So, what if he is really the heir of the Evil Emperor?" the old dean stared into her eyes, "If he will one day lose himself and become the Evil Emperor, you who are determined to be the enemy of the Evil God Dao today...... Will he be able to make up his mind again and cut him off?"
Nangong Fei's eyes widened, and she gradually fell into a state of confusion.
Oh, yes...... In the face of love and righteousness, can she really make a decisive choice?
Can she?
