May 13, 2017, three months after the attack.

It's still the same school, the same environment, the same atmosphere.

After Xiao Legong and Zhang Lingjin were urgently transferred from the organization to carry out the task, the class changed back to the original bad-tempered physics teacher, but now he did not get angry as he did when he taught in the past, but looked at Su Jiuxia who was sitting in the seat with a sweaty face, his eyes were obviously empty and looking out of the window, his tone was a little trembling and confused.

"Jiuxia-swean, can you explain what your test results are?"

All the questions are full marks, and some of the methods used even exceed the standard answers, this is too exaggerated, in his image, Su Jiuxia's physics before could only be tested for more than ten points, how did it become like this now, maybe... It's cheating, before he did it, he would definitely think about Su Jiuxia 100% like this, but now, facing the current Su Jiuxia, he actually felt a trace of oppression, the kind of oppression from the academic level that he was proud of.

"Otherwise, you will solve the problem on the spot. Attracted back to attention, Su Jiuxia glanced indifferently, and simply stood up from his seat, ten minutes later, leaving the stunned teachers standing on the podium and the cheering students in the audience, all the questions, even his deliberate deviations, were answered, which...

"Remember, no student is garbage, they have poor grades, look for problems first from your own teaching methods. Su Jiuxia looked at the teacher very indifferently, he did what he wanted to do the most before, but he didn't have the imaginary pleasure at all, and some were just tired of helplessness.

"Also, I know that you get up early every day and work hard to stay up late, but what you teach is really bad, what you are moved by is yourself, in the future, be kind to other students, of course, to me, you are free..."

As long as one student thinks that he teaches well, then the teacher has merit, but the whole class thinks that he teaches badly, and you tell us that it is our problem? Everything that Jiuxia did not dare to say a long time ago, now, he can say it very freely.

And the whole class once again broke out into warm cheers because of Su Jiuxia's "arrogant" words, and no one could see that the whole class was proud of him now, only for a semester and a half.

Returning to the position where there was an empty seat, Su Jiuxia continued to hold his head and look out the window, the study and life here may be just like what the master said, even if you think the answer is very hypocritical, very contrived, and very disgusting, but writing it out is also a unique ability, in order to educate himself at that time, he is really...

I got it, but what... Su Jiuxia's sloppy gaze suddenly froze, I don't want to go on like this anymore, my youth has been given to that exam-oriented education, and my future should be handed over to myself.

In the college entrance examination, he was ready to give up, because he had his own plan, a plan that he came up with by himself, a plan that belonged to the product of his own wisdom, of course his parents were against it, but this time, without relying on the hypnosis of spiritual art, he himself persuaded his parents.

Let them understand that they have blindly ignored the voices of children and imposed adult beliefs on them, which is distrust and disrespect for them, and that schools and parents should give them the opportunity to choose.

People always have to grow up to face loneliness, and my spirit has already begun to wander into the distance.

Su Jiuxia didn't know what was going on with him now, he had grown up, there was no doubt about it, but this growth that he had dreamed of now seemed extremely empty.

But anyway, come on, world.

The game is on.

......

In Kanagawa, Japan, on the fourth day after returning to the Enforcer's headquarters, two people knelt on tatami mats in the courtyard of a house in a classical Japanese style.

"Master of the house, I..." Hatsufu Zhiyu, who was meditating on the tatami mat on the side, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Dao Chong Xianyue with a little preoccupation, and stopped talking, with his current state of mind, he could no longer meet the standard of meditation.

"What's wrong with you?" Dao Chongxian, who was dealing with things in front of the table, looked at Chu Feng Zhiyu more and more curiously, this is really the first time that Zhiyu in this state has been seen in so many years, and it seems that since he came back from the mission, it seems that Zhiyu's behavior has become more and more strange.

"I..."Chu Feng Zhiyu bit his lip tightly, and after a tangled facial expression change, he finally slowly spit out four words, "I'm in love." ”

"What.... What? Do you say it again?" The pen in his hand froze, and Dao Chongxian Yue couldn't believe what he heard, his most powerful and headache Chu Feng Zhiyu actually opened his brain? Which woman is so powerful that she can really get this monster hunter with zero emotions and make him look like this shy young man now?

"It's... Yu Qianye..."The voice of the first wind childish feather became smaller and smaller, completely lacking his usual decisiveness, and his face was even worse at the moment, like a cherry blossom in the blushing outer courtyard, green and gorgeous.

"Hachiya... You're a good match. The last time he went to Nanjing, he felt that the relationship between these two people was not the same, and these two road idiots really seem to have some common language, and he has no opinion on these anyway, but he is curious because of the big change in Zhiyu, "Then did you succeed?"

"No... Well, my lord, this... Falling in love or something... Where to start?" "No matter how strong Chu Feng Zhiyu's fighting and hunting ability is, he is completely a rookie in this regard, if he asks Ling Jin or Qinghuan, it's fine, but it's a pity that the person he asks has the same question...

"Go, find a way to go by yourself, I'm still struggling with the way. Hearing this kind of question, Dao Chongxian hurriedly waved his hand and let this guy "fend for himself", if he had a way, he would still be like this?!

"Well, why don't you think about it together?"

In this way, the most powerful man among the two enforcers put down the things in his hand, and just looked at the cherry blossom trees in the yard for an afternoon, and after spending a long time without moving and almost standing still, the two finally looked up to the sky and sighed, and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, women, sure enough, are the most difficult creatures in the world.

"Otherwise, ask Momiji. ”

As both women, maybe they should know some women's thinking, but why do the two of them have a bad feeling when they think of this proposal...

And in the laboratory, Sana Momiba, who was dressed in a plain white lab coat, looked at the current Amaterasu of the enforcer and the monster hunter as the next successor like two idiots, and she suddenly felt a little funny, which made her seem to have more fun besides experiments, "So our lord and the next lord have been defeated by outsiders? ”

"Don't be kidding, Momiji, Cangwei is not here, so I can only rely on you. ”

"This, let me think about it, if you don't just force the calculation, I'll dispense the medicine, guarantee..."

"No way!"

Before Momiji's words were finished, the two retorted in unison.

Sure enough, it was a mistake to come to her, and it was impossible to offer any normal ideas!

"Well, then I can't help it, by the way, do you want to take a look at the newly sent information. Momiji Sana handed over a stack of papers, which she had just sorted out from the information processor in the laboratory, and it is estimated that these two guys had been thinking about that kind of thing and hadn't even noticed it.

Quickly glanced at the information document handed over by Momiji, the eyes of the two gradually changed from loose to decisive, no matter how emotionally separated, in the face of the real task, there should still be solemnity, and the information transmitted from this information will be enough to open up the next new world pattern, so it is, the undercurrent is surging, not only here are they.

"Zhiyu, I'm going to have to send you out on another mission. ”

"Yes, under orders. ”

The eyes of the three of them drifted in a farther direction through the cherry blossom trees outside the laboratory window, another international project, Supreme Will, since you want to start, then we have no reason to retreat.

......

In Nanjing, the rooftop of the manor villa, which has always been the headquarters, has experienced a devastating battle, but it only took about a month to rebuild the villa that was destroyed to the point that only the foundation remains, and because of the lessons of the past, there are even a lot of defensive facilities added to the walls.

"Nian Hang, what are you looking for me?" To be honest, although he has been in this manor for a while, he still likes to live in his own Xiao Le Palace, this is the first time he has stepped on this rooftop, although he has feelings for this general headquarters, but it is more like a place for friends to meet.

Overlooking the courtyard, although the current layout is to simulate the previous one, I have to say that in fact, the scenery in this courtyard is also quite beautiful, maybe it is the flower species that Lin Xinyue once specially arranged to leave, the ghost poppy that should have bloomed in June and July has already bloomed throughout the yard in May, and the beauty of the courtyard buries the wounds of the attack, and also covers all the blood that has flowed on this land.

Xiao Le Gong is sometimes surprised, obviously it is just a flower, but the ghost poppy has a variety of colors, and it can decorate the entire courtyard without the help of other flowers, mysterious and beautiful but with an irresistible deadly toxin, it is really just like their team leader Lin Xinyue, or rather, the former team leader...

"I was looking for you, and Nian Hang also wanted to talk to you by the way. Xie Qilan looked at the scenery under his feet, his back to Xiao Legong's expression, but he seemed to be deeply immersed in his own contemplation and couldn't extricate himself, he slowly said, "You should have any questions that you have always wanted to ask me, right?" ”

"Actually... Okay, is there a question, Senior Qilan, did you keep watching us behind us that day?" Xiao Legong didn't know whether to ask this question or not, because even if Xie Qilan gave him a positive answer, he couldn't blame him for it, after all, they didn't know each other at the time, and he was only on a mission, so it was not easy for him to ask this kind of question that destroyed the harmony of the team.

"It's not. Xie Qilan turned around suddenly, he stretched his brows and smiled, "That day, I came here after sensing the power of Qianyu. ”

"Really? Great. Although the real truth is still unclear, Xiao Legong still feels relieved, and it is better to have an answer than no answer.

"Then I'll go down first, and you guys talk slowly. Xie Qilan silently turned around and left, got off the rooftop, and walked silently, just like his inner state, no one knew.

Sometimes, if it is not beneficial for either party to tell the truth, a beautiful lie may be more needed, and usually at this time, the truth is no longer important.

"This is the information that Mo Cheng prepared to give you before, originally she was going to wait for you to become proficient in the black rose, and then it will be difficult for you, Qilan asked me to give this to you after lifting the restrictions above. Gu Nianhang handed over a blank piece of paper, "Bring the black rose closer to it and look at it again." ”

Xiao Legong did so, and gradually, a blue font slowly emerged on the blank paper, which was the unique handwriting of Bai Mocheng, a kind of font with a hook that was strange but also beautiful.

"By the time you can read this information, you should already be able to control the Black Rose proficiently, of course I don't bother to praise you, but here is a little advice, I have been reflecting on this magic doctrine for almost a thousand years, and the final conclusion is that the magic doctrine I wrote is not flawed.

Don't be busy laughing when you get it, although it has no flaws, but it has weaknesses, its weakness is its itself, because it is a doctrine written by me, so it can be said that it cannot be defeated in the known realm, but for the whole world, it is flawed, just like a memory that exists in the universe cannot store the entire universe in general, there is a possibility outside it that has not been discovered by me, although it may be very few, but it can be defeated, remember, it can defeat the known, only the unknown, na, junior, go beyond my limit, reach a new height of spirituality。 ”

"Hey, Legong, I've been teaching at my school for a month, what do you think of the classes on campus now? He didn't ask anything related to the information left by Bai Mocheng, maybe Nianhang thought that it was a secret that belonged to the Le Palace and he shouldn't ask, so he led the topic to his preset direction, and even Gu Nianhang himself didn't realize that this conversation would open up his alternative life for the next ten years.

"Okay, it's not very practical, but it's a necessary foundation. Xiao Legong put away the note and looked at the distant scenery with Nian Hang, he didn't understand that after experiencing so many things beyond society, Nian Hang's topic returned to society, but he knew that after experiencing that chaos, everyone had changed a lot from before, maybe Nian Hang had his own feelings and wanted to share them with himself, so he stood here quietly.

"What about the language class, which is the main carrier, how does it feel?"

"If you really want to say it..."It seemed that Nian Hang was going to talk to him for a long time, so Xiao Le Gong simply sat down, he was already a college student, and he still had an uncomfortable feeling about these high school courses," That's boring, the current curriculum is becoming stereotyped and imprisoned thoughts, for example, the biographies and epitaphs written by the ancients that I read are all the same experiences, I don't mean that the records are false, I mean, under this kind of system and thinking, the things that can be worth recording and boasting about are those things, and the things that are really valuable are denounced by them as inferior and so on, so they have always felt uncomfortable. ”

It is also that what he has is given up by himself, so that he is qualified to speak about others, otherwise it is just a sour thing that is born of jealousy of things that cannot be obtained. Although Gu Nianhang did not face the Le Palace, he agreed with the words of the Le Palace from the tone, "Most of our ancient literati are like this, they write poems and chant first-class, but they are extremely unpopular in doing things for the people, so they can only play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, constantly write poems, visit landscapes, and leave inscriptions to express their feelings." ”

"Do you know what this is for me?"

"What?"

Although Gu Nianhang has always had no rich expression, but now Xiao Legong feels that his heart is as blank as his expression, and he has lost his enthusiasm for doing things in the past, as if he was doing something he knew he would lose.

"Any dictatorial privilege caused by an alien stream will not be accepted by the world, even if his intentions are good, just like the imperial dynasty of the past. Gu Nianhang slowly continued to speak, this time, he turned to Xiao Le Gong and looked at him squarely, "However, the worst thing is that everyone is against this privilege on the surface, but they just don't want others to have it, this special ability to achieve hegemony Everyone has a desire in the deepest part of their hearts, so whether it is after they have it or after others have it, those who have this privilege will face the crusade of the unprivileged same kind in the world." ”

"Do you want to talk about your ability to close to controlling life and death?" After thinking about it carefully, considering that it was impossible for Gu Nianhang to talk to him about some useless nonsense, so Legong remembered the accident statistics report a few months ago, and on the casualty statistics report of the headquarters, there was very strange information recorded, except for dozens of people who were killed by firearms and swords, the cause of death of most of them was unknown, whether it was the enemy or his own people, it was the same conclusion, the survivors of the entire headquarters, only Nianhang and Irina were two...

"It's really a strange way to die, the person who attacked you that day didn't have a single scar on his body, and there was no damage to his brain, but he died, as if the whole body mechanism was still. ”

"I guess there's something in common, but this one doesn't belong here... By the way, you always said that you want to save others, right?" Gu Nianhang didn't affirm or deny Le Gong directly, his words turned again, and continued to guide Le Gong, obviously Xiao Le Gong's answer just now deviated from the direction of Nian Hang's answer, "What if you have to kill people in order to save?

"Should... Yes, if more could be saved..."

"pang!" Before Le Gong Zhiwu finished speaking, Gu Nianhang suddenly stretched out his left hand like a child and made a gesture of raising a gun, and shot at Le Gong in a vague manner, the action was childish, so that Xiao Le Gong couldn't accept it for a while, this was an action that Gu Nianhang would do.

"What?"

"The moment you say you will, you're already on the opposite side of society. Gu Nianhang put down his hand and smiled a little discouragedly.

He has always understood the rights and wrongs of his previous actions, but he has no choice, he can choose not to meddle, but he can't bear this phenomenon, and he doesn't know why he was born like this... "And, by the time you're done with these things, you're a heinous murderer yourself." ”

"So, do you think what Qing Huan said is right?" This is an irrefutable question, there is no right or wrong, it is just used to provoke thinking, Xiao Legong replied after understanding Nian Hang's thoughts.

"Yes, that innocent dream story, I actually prefer angels to the Grim Reaper who executes death. Gu Nianhang's expression was as if he was recalling his past, and at this moment he was unsuspecting, as if he had let go of all his previous restraints and was analyzing his previous self, "However, an angel who has been broken by the environment, what kind of angel is it, it is not as comfortable as being a criminal." ”

Spring is a rainy season, and there is a chance of drizzle at any time when the sun is not visible. But even though it started to rain in the sky, both of them obviously had no idea of leaving, because the thoughts blocked in their hearts were not resolved, and the road ahead for the two of them would become narrower and narrower until they stuck themselves.

"Let's go back to the previous question, guess what the odds I think you can save humanity are?" Gu Nianhang took out the "alien star" stuffed around his neck from his clothes, and in the rain, this seven-pointed star crystal necklace with interlaced wings shone with a different kind of luster, this feeling... Le Gong has never seen it in any other object, "and this is what I think is the answer." ”

"What... What does it mean?" Xiao Legong, who didn't have a clear idea of what he meant, asked rhetorically.

"Let's put it this way, let's assume that this thing has the ability to kill people without distance restrictions, in other words, if you pick up this thing, you will become a god of death who can decide the lives of others, how many people do you think will really want to hand it over and let the organization of the environment manage it? ”

"Well, don't say one in ten thousand, even one in 100 million people, they will not choose to hand it over to others, especially those organizations or countries that can't bring them a sense of belonging, and those who originally think they are bad people, not to mention, even those who think they are good people will not hand it over, because they don't believe that others will use this against them, although they are all calling for it to be handed over, it is because they are afraid and eager to have the existence of this power, so it is said that people with this power will fight against this world sooner or later, which is something that cannot be escaped。 ”

Xiao Legong may understand the reason for Nian Hang's frustration, he is a person who is eager for change, but this kind of war is destined to be single-handed, and it will definitely be lost.

When a person can skip the legal process to decide the life and death of others, that person is destined to be intolerable by society, because he has become the majority of people who aspire to be the sanctioner, the minority who has no sense of similarity, in this world, the really powerful person is a person who is good at disguising himself, a person who can perfectly integrate himself into the collective, but even if it is disguised, once it is long-term, it may be more painful for Nianhang and these people than being hostile.

"Maybe it will end badly, but you've done your best in the process, so you don't have to think about a perfect ending. ”

"Make no mistake, I'm talking about you. Gu Nianhang brushed his hair, although it was light rain, but it was also stained with a lot of rain, and he hadn't taken care of his hair much recently, but it had grown a little long.

"I, I don't have that kind of strength at all?" Xiao Legong was stunned, he always thought that if anyone really had the ability to do this, it could only be Gu Nianhang, so he would comfort Nianhang like this, he didn't expect that Nianhang at this moment, in addition to the disappointment in his heart, had embarked on another more lame path.

"Yes, you are just an ordinary person now, you don't have the natural strength of Chen Linxuan, and you don't have all kinds of equipment like Fang Shuanghua, but it's because you're weak that you're studying, aren't you?" Maybe he was tired of standing, Gu Nianhang simply sat on the edge of the rooftop like Xiao Le Palace, and it had been a long time since he had communicated with others like this, even in this group, except for Lin Xinyue, he couldn't talk to anyone else at all," On the first day of joining the group, what Lin Xinyue taught me was that the strength is not enough, and the experience will make up for it, so that sooner or later you can have the ability to compete with the ancient heroes and the talents of the heavens. ”

"You're thinking too highly of me. "Listening to Nian Hang's words, Xiao Legong smiled speechlessly, he still always thought that he was just a paranoid patient, and even thinking that the murderer was a vampire was just wishful thinking, but the reality of yin and yang made this delusion come true, there are really supernatural creatures in this world, and there is even such a bizarre new world, which is actually a big shock to him," Having too much strength will bring a lot of trouble, I don't have so many ideas, now I just want to take care of Su Qianyu, other things, I don't really want to think about it so much now, after experiencing it, maybe I will naturally understand. ”

Many ideas, after you have experienced it yourself, can you appreciate its naivety, but some ideas, but on top of this naivety, sublimation into new beliefs, unlike Jiuxia, Xiao Le Gong because of Su Qianyu's intervention, so that he can still have a peaceful state of mind under the impact of the "new world".

"Well, I remember that Sora Sakura said that your little monster is the secret weapon of the Scarlet Night, right? Gu Nianhang's eyes looked at the alien star, his eyes seemed to be looking at his lover, if... He has a lover's words, "Then I'll tell you a story." ”

"In a deserted place, there is a car with seven people in an accident, five people are injured, one person's lung is injured and needs to be replaced, one person's kidney is damaged and needs to be replaced, one person's liver is ruptured and needs to be replaced, one person, one person's spleen is damaged and needs to be replaced, another person's heart has a problem and needs to be replaced, you are a doctor who has been studying very hard and happens to know how to perform these surgeries, and this car also has the corresponding equipment for you to use, then doing this without considering the risk of surgical failure and the possibility of surgery will save them 100 percent, will you save them？”

"Save them, how to save them, aren't there organs without medical storage?" After pondering the story carefully, Xiao Legong asked strangely.

"You forget, there are seven people in this car, and there is one intact person besides you. Gu Nianhang turned his head and looked at Le Gong, "You are a doctor, you can't die, you can only save those injured people by dissecting that intact person and taking away his organs, how about it, what is your choice? And let me remind you, if you don't make a decision in three minutes, those five people will start dying in turn." ”

"Stupid, this kind of thing, how to choose. Xiao Legong began to think about it but found that this was completely a wrong thing to do, "As a doctor, he has the duty to save lives and help the wounded, and if he doesn't save people, he is the murderer, and the person who is not injured is not obliged to sacrifice himself for the sake of five people, but those five people undoubtedly want that person to do this, and as long as one is sacrificed, five can be saved, but the doctor is undoubtedly the murderer of that person at this time, but if he saves five, it will undoubtedly be correct from a social point of view." ”

"Yes, that's right, and they will come back to society after being rescued to praise that man's sacrifice and convey their grief to the community, and the doctor will receive his glory, and no one will care about the coldness and despair that the man felt before he died, and the fear that everyone in that small world would want him to die. Gu Nianhang's tone was still cold, Xiao Legong couldn't imagine that Nianhang could face this kind of thing so calmly, "Okay, three minutes is up, one of those five people, let that heart break, he is already dead, then doctor, what is your choice?"

"Wait, let me think about it again. Xiao Legong propped his head on his hands, thinking hard, and he found that this was really an extremely tricky choice when he substituted himself into the situation.

"Another three minutes, the person with a damaged liver is already dead, doctor. Gu Nianhang continued to look at his watch unhurriedly, as if there was really such an accident, "The remaining three people have already begun to beg you to kill that person, as long as the four of you don't say it, no one will know, the rescued three people will be grateful to you, and they will still be heroes when they return to society." ”

"Then I choose to save three people..."Xiao Legong thought for a long time before finally speaking.

"Okay, add another condition, the person who was not injured is your relative, do you want to continue?" Gu Nianhang seemed to have expected Le Gong to answer like this, he chuckled lightly and added another condition.

"Bastard, how could there be such an accident!" Xiao Legong finally stopped, he felt that Gu Nianhang was purely playing tricks on him, "What about the other three?"

"I don't know you at all, do you still want to save them?" Gu Nianhang's tone was still not in a hurry, which made Le Gong who thought Nianhang was playing him a little less confident, "Or how about completely reversing it, those five people are your relatives and the person who is not injured is someone you don't know, what will you do?" Of course, this probability is so small... Forget it, or the poor creature will die. ”

"I..."

Time passed little by little, the hazy light rain gradually stopped, and the air gradually filled the air with the unique natural fresh breath after the rain, and with the last drop of rain falling, Xiao Le Gong made his last choice.

"Nine minutes have passed, all five people are dead, congratulations, there is one more person alive, you saved him. Gu Nianhang stood up and looked at Xiao Le Palace, from beginning to end, Xiao Le Palace remained silent, Nian Hang knew that he was thinking about a way to do both, but it was useless, because the reality had told Nian Hang himself with facts.

"What kind of salvation is this, besides, this is an impossible story. Xiao Le Gong gave up completely, and fell to the ground speechlessly, feeling the shade of the rain behind him.

"No, you did save him, because those five people wanted him dead, and if you were the slightest negligent, those five people would kill him, and then you would have to save those five people. Gu Nianhangdi's tone seemed to be stating an accident that had already happened, "You think the story is too fake, there are only two possibilities, one is that the storyteller is too inexperienced, and the other is that the person who listens to the story has too little knowledge, what do you think?"

"You want to say... Those five people are those who have nothing to do with us, the one who is not injured is Su Qianyu and I am the doctor?" Xiao Legong exhaled lightly, his expression looked much flater, Nian Hang, this guy, he was originally here to do psychological work for himself for a long time, "You want to tell me that this is the psychological price of salvation?"

"Yes, human beings, including all living beings, are the same, they are born with self-care, even if they can be related to their offspring, and even love them in a self-sacrificing way, but for other lives, let alone the lives of other races, their love may not even reach one thousandth. ”

Gu Nianhang still looked down at the alien star, his gaze seemed to have been indulged in it, as if he had found his own salvation in it, "Those who are morally kidnapped, those who are secretly conspiring, and those who are fighting head-on... I will not hesitate to kill them all, because I am not Xiao Le Palace, even for those who use good intentions but do bad things, I will not forgive, I am Gu Nianhang, I will not think of a way to save both sides, I will only save the side that is most beneficial to me. ”

"But you're different, you're Xiao Le Palace, the most unique in this world, Xiao Le Palace!"
