Book 1, Volume 2, Hunting Game, Chapter 5: Friends
The morning of the next day.
Su Jiuxia no longer knows how he came back to life last night, and he can't remember how many times he was knocked unconscious, if it weren't for Gu Qinghuan using spiritual power to help him recover the bruises, he would definitely have a blue nose and swollen face now, his whole body was bruised, and he looked like he had been beaten!
But, Master, your spiritual power can only heal external injuries, not pain!
For a whole day, except for going to the toilet, Su Jiuxia could only sit in his seat, and even the lunch was a fast food that Qinghuan bought for him, although this caused some discussions, but compared to this, there was also a piece of news on campus that was extremely popular.
In the 30th class of high school, a super handsome Japanese student has been newly transferred, and it is rumored that he is handsome, his family is rich, and his personality is perfect and gentle...... At least Su Jiuxia and Gu Qinghuan felt as if they had been trampled on by thousands of unknown No. 1 Divine Beasts of the Internet after knowing this information.
As for why such a perfect person came here to interpret it, it happened that Gu Qinghuan also turned around on the same day, and the gossip has spread into countless kinds of poignant or supernatural or Mary Sue stories, of course, Xie Qilan was even added, but later I heard that the guy was sent to the hospital by an unknown out-of-school thug when he came home from school, and he had applied for a leave of absence for half a year.
As the Internet goes, there are five kinds of people in the world that must not be messed with: the time-traveler of the Great Celestial Empire, the painter of Germany, the high school student of Japan, the homeless man of the United States, and the president of Russia who has served for more than 15 years.
The first one is no longer visible, the second is a thing of the past, the fourth is too far away in terms of its geographical location, and the fifth is in the news every day. In short, everyone's interest in this new high school student is still extremely strong.
Although this shared a lot of public opinion pressure for Su Jiuxia, Gu Qinghuan began to have a headache again, because no matter what the trend of public opinion is, he will always be in it, and the brains of the masses are too annoying, and they are still immersed in it.
The third class in the afternoon, English class.
"Division... Qinghuan, are you still going to train tonight?" Su Jiuxia looked at the podium screen and asked in a low voice, "I guess I can't even lift my sword now." ”
"You stay in the dormitory tonight to rest, and I have to go to the hospital to see Xin Yue in the evening. Gu Qinghuan is still the standard action of pretending to be a professional for thirty years, and I don't know what he has heard when he comes to this school, "I will continue to train tomorrow, and every other day in the future, by the way, spiritual vision training cannot be interrupted every day, don't forget." ”
"Whew, I finally don't have to peel off my skin. Su Jiuxia secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was simply a pleasure to be lazy on the premise of becoming stronger under the supervision of Qinghuan every day, "Nothing has happened recently, doesn't it mean that there are many people coming back?"
"The people who sneaked in were all dealt with by Zhiyu, but I received news today that even the black devil came over last night. Gu Qinghuan bit her lip and said with a pensive expression.
"Dark Devil, who?" it shouldn't be a simple thing to be able to give such a name to a major supernatural organization.
"A warlock who acts very strangely, codenamed Black Devil, Zhi Yu is already investigating and preventing him, you don't have to worry too much, the little fat rabbit is currently taking care of Qian Yu in your house and has not found anything abnormal, according to the latest situation, they should not have the information of Qian Yu yet, and it can only be through you to find Qian Yu. Gu Qinghuan told Jiuxia all the situation he analyzed, "With me here, even if you can't beat it, your master is still confident in escaping." ”
A dumb wink, originally intended to show off, but Qinghuan forgot his current image, and instead turned into a cute expression, which made Su Jiuxia stunned for a while, and Jiuxia, who felt embarrassed, silently began to listen to the English class seriously.
"What's wrong?" a certain master who doesn't know the truth.
"Well, it's nothing, I just don't think I can't understand anything in English like I used to think. Su Jiuxia stared at the English knowledge points on the screen and silently changed the topic.
"Mood problems. Qinghuan looked at those things, although he didn't understand them too much... In English or something, he basically relied on a translator and intuition, "Haven't you changed a lot from your previous mentality?"
"Thank you. Su Jiuxia calmly looked ahead for a while, was silent for a while, and then said.
"Eh, what are you thanking at this time?" Gu Qinghuan, who had nothing to do in class, began to turn his pen again to pass the time.
"Thank you for showing up. Su Jiuxia chuckled, "I didn't believe that those novels in which the traverser worked hard to achieve great achievements as soon as he arrived in the other world, if he could work hard, he would have worked hard in the original world, and he didn't work hard because he was lazy and cowardly... However, after going through so much, I found that there are also people who don't want to work hard, but in such an environment, they don't even have the opportunity to work hard. ”
"And when the other world is so realistic and cruel but full of people who can change the world and are not bound by the majority, it is not surprising that they will desperately go to cultivation, because they have experienced more ridicule than others living at the bottom, so their potential desire to become stronger is even stronger, in the final analysis, there are still many fools and few smart people in this world, so there are those reasonable but very distorted minorities obey the majority, Master, your purpose is to enable me to face myself squarely and have my own independent personality. ”
"Although the concept is a bit extreme, even if you still have a bit of a future, do you know why we spiritualists and heterogeneous patients are called monsters?" Gu Qinghuan smiled, noncommittal to Jiu Xia's opinion, "It's not just because of the great power, but because we are not prepared to abide by the rules set by the majority, but are influencing the world according to our own wishes and strength, but this is often not in the interests of most of them, so we will be both jealous and rejected by the ordinary people." ”
It's extremely painful to doubt the world and try to change it, because it means you have to go alone, and if you have companions, cherish it.
"Well, I remembered, Master's thoughts and requests. Su Jiuxia suddenly seemed to relax, and changed his tone, "I won't abuse my strength, I won't trample on my life, my apprentice won't die in front of my master, I will always abide by your three requirements at the beginning." ”
"It's good that you know. "Qinghuan suddenly found that this kid's IQ has appreciated a lot recently, and he has used it for a year to understand these things, what else can he teach if he goes on like this, he has a headache...
In the blink of an eye, it was already evening, the evening self-study was over, and Gu Qinghuan, as always, skipped the fourth class in the afternoon, and there was no training task today, Su Jiuxia was on the way to the dormitory alone, to be honest, until now, it was the first time that he missed the night scene of the school.
He had never appreciated his alma mater properly, and had always been disgusted with it, and for a while he even felt ugly about the school's green environment, but until now, after leaving behind his inherent prejudices, when he strolled through the campus and breathed in the refreshing air in the breeze, he actually found that he liked this place a little.
However, it is destined that his appreciation can not be maintained to the end, and a group of people have begun to surround him, and his face is not very friendly, Chen Zonghao, there is always such a campus gangster who is unscrupulous on campus in every school.
"So, can you let it go?" should have come a long time ago, they were the most unaccustomed to someone who was luckier than them, and they didn't think it was strange that they hadn't seen them come to find fault with Jiuxia.
Su Jiuxia's attitude of direct ignorance angered everyone even more, and Chen Zonghao, as the boss, came up directly and grabbed Jiuxia's collar, just like when they usually bully people, their momentum cannot be weaker than others at the beginning, and if they encounter a weak one, they can directly accept their fate and beg for mercy and let them do whatever they want.
"You kid, why, it's so rampant to get so close to the woman I fancied, who was beaten in the face by me at the school gate, ah?"
As far as Su Jiuxia's previous character is concerned, it is inevitable that he will not fall victim to campus violence, so the other party naturally thinks that the current Jiuxia will still be trampled under their feet.
And a group of onlookers had already gathered around, and they also knew Su Jiuxia, who had recently become a frequent guest of campus gossip, so with the mentality that it was not a big deal to watch the excitement, there were more and more people gathering.
"Okay, I'll say it again, get out of the way. "If he hadn't agreed to Qinghuan, he would have been ready to kill these goods, but... Wait, promise Qinghuan not to kill innocents indiscriminately, is that the guilty can be killed casually? It doesn't seem right, Qinghuan said to respect everyone, it's a bit contradictory... It's so annoying... Long Xi'er, did you encounter this situation before? Sure enough, I still can't forgive them...
"You kid has become fat, damn, beat him!" The person next to him was furious, obviously just a weak person who should be bullied by them, but he dared to resist the will of the strong, which surprised them, and also made them even more angry, and their own cultivation is not enough, there are not so many elegant ways to relieve anger, there is only one, that is, to get satisfaction from bullying the weak.
"You're looking for death. Chen Zonghao's gritted teeth in exchange for Su Jiuxia's indifference, which made him feel that his so-called self-esteem had been insulted, and he angrily threw a punch in Jiuxia's face.
However, it is clear that this campus is no longer the normal campus it used to be, and if he is fast, someone will be faster than him.
"This..."Chen Zonghao was stunned, Su Jiuxia was also stunned, it was not Su Jiuxia who was preparing to fight back who blocked Chen Zonghao's punch with one hand, but Chu Feng Zhiyu, who didn't know when he appeared and reacted faster than him? Is this guy a ghost? Even Su Jiuxia himself didn't see clearly how this guy got in, okay?!
"Jiuxia, do you want to help?" Maybe in Chu Feng Zhiyu's understanding, Su Jiuxia is still the thin high school student waste wood when they first met, and the people in this school are also at the level of waste wood in terms of his cognition, although Jiuxia is stronger than them, but... It's all the combat power of waste wood, and for people with tens of thousands of combat strength, one hundred and fifty don't seem to be much different.
And the people around him were shocked, Chu Feng Zhiyu, that new transfer student, how could he appear here? And when did he come in, none of them could see it clearly, and looking at this posture, this new high school student seemed to know Su Jiuxia, when would that coward be able to meet such a foreigner?
Regardless of everyone's suspicions, Su Jiuxia's heart was roaring like a collapse at the moment, let Chu Feng Zhiyu help?
Onlookers plus troublemakers, this is going to be a big disappearance of the campus population, although Zhiyu doesn't care about killing so many people, but he just promised the master, this is immediately violated... Chen Zonghao, what kind of broken character are you!
"No, I can deal with him. Although I really wanted Zhi Yu to solve this group of guys who liked to bully their classmates, Su Jiuxia was still patient and ready to save them, after all, this was a promise to Qinghuan.
"Damn, don't think..."
"Click!"
The crisp sound of bones breaking sounded, and even Su Jiuxia didn't have time to react, in the horrified eyes of everyone, Chen Zonghao's arm was broken like plastic by Zhiyu holding his elbow with one hand!
When did they have a professional killer who has only bullied ordinary people, not to mention that Chu Feng Zhiyu is still a monster hunter who specializes in hunting supernatural creatures, the strong live, the weak die, he today is likely to be tomorrow's you, if you are happy, Jiuxia felt for the first time that it did seem to make sense...
"Can you please keep quiet? "The weak smile that was originally considered to be a bully in their eyes suddenly turned into a demonic smile, threatening a person to never use the cruel words of the strong voice, and as soon as there is a discord, it will be folded, and now the high school students who live in the greenhouse have experienced this...
Speaking of which, Japanese high school students are legendary creatures...
From the gaze of Chu Feng Zhiyu, Chen Zonghao couldn't see any emotion, which made him, who had always been superior in momentum, feel real fear, a kind of thing he didn't understand... An inexplicable fear from the bottom of my heart.
In the smiling "kind" gaze of Chu Feng Zhiyu, Chen Zonghao gritted his teeth and didn't hum out of the pain of breaking bones, the sharp pain of broken bones was like a needle piercing his heart, but he really didn't dare to make a sound!
"Hey. Su Jiuxia silently sighed for Chen Zonghao's unluck, find fault with it, just find fault, but self-righteously pick a day when Qinghuan is not there, and no one will save him.
However, Su Jiuxia's eyes froze, "Then, just fight this fight, if I win, I don't want to see you again in the future." ”
What about body aches, even if in Zhiyu's opinion, his strength is very low, but a hundred, after all, it is twice as high as fifty!
......
Fifteen minutes later, Su Jiuxia silently stepped into the dormitory with an obviously strange atmosphere, still in the same state as before.
"Everyone... Why do you look at me like that?" Su Jiuxia, who returned to the dormitory, found that everyone's eyes were weird, which made him feel furious, and he was groaned, could it be that the dormitory collective attribute had awakened? I'm not a master, so there's no reason to be attractive to this group of guys?
"You kid... Really knocked down Brother Hao and a dozen of them by himself?" Lin Hua's face was full of shock in disbelief.
The news spread faster than people, Su Jiuxia had only knocked down the group of guys ten minutes ago, and he had just returned to the dormitory, and it had already spread on the campus?
Especially Lin Hua, just kidding, Su Jiuxia's physical fitness is not clear to him, his body and bones are so weak that even he Lin Hua can easily fall down, what is the situation tonight, the ghost is on his body?
This is also the meaning of everyone's eyes, especially Gu Nianhang, he knows best what level of strength is needed to easily defeat so many people like Jiuxia in such a short period of time, because he himself has this kind of strength.
To be precise, he defines himself as a madman, from childhood to adulthood, he has forced himself to carry out all kinds of training that is crazy in the eyes of others, and Jiuxia, he also believes that there are incredible things in this world that are beyond the existing cognition, but unlike Jiuxia, he is preparing all the time in order to make himself fully prepared to meet this opportunity in life.
Long-distance running in the playground after evening self-study, devil training after returning home from vacation... Not only physical training, but also self-taught psychology, firearms... Although he sometimes thinks that some of his ideas may seem whimsical, he is more certain that his preparation is operational, and that at some point he may actually be able to change his fate.
Although he can't use it now, but one day in the future, maybe it will really come in handy, and unlike Jiuxia's idea of resigning himself to fate, he feels that if a miracle doesn't favor him, then he will turn himself into a miracle, and now, with his keen intuition, he seems to sense something from this incredible thing.
Defeat those dozen or so, he can do it, but it will never be as easy as Jiuxia, and Su Jiuxia was obviously so weak before, is it... Or, is there something strange about him?
Of course, he didn't know that in fact, most people didn't dare to go all out because Chu Feng Zhiyu was still present, in case he beat Su Jiuxia, then the next thing would be to fight Chu Feng Zhiyu, which would become very embarrassing, so it was better to be beaten directly by Jiuxia and admit defeat.
"Jiuxia, come in with me, I have something to tell you. As a man of action, Gu Nianhang threw the apple in his hand on the bed, and then Jiuxia was dragged to the bathroom.
"Elder of the room, you..."Su Jiuxia and Gu Nianhang are also good friends, because Gu Nianhang never cares about other people's achievements or other people's evaluations, as long as you treat him like a friend, he will give you a response, so for Jiuxia, who had few friends at the beginning, Nianhang is a friend who has a better relationship than Lin Hua.
"Tell me honestly, who are you and Qinghuan?" Gu Nianhang didn't know the relationship between Su Jiuxia and Gu Qinghuan, but judging from the actions of the two after Qinghuan turned around, there must be a connection, and this new head teacher should also have problems, but asking Jiuxia directly will definitely deny it, so it's very simple, psychology tips, roundabout questions and answers, pretending to be profound.
The detective and reasoning skills that he had deliberately trained over the years made Nian Hang ready to gamble, so he pretended to know some of them but not all of them, and continued to say slowly after a short silence that pressed Jiuxia's nerves, "There is also the new head teacher, who is also with you." ”
"You... "Su Jiuxia, who didn't even have a basic concept of psychological game, naturally fell for the trick easily, and even he didn't understand why Nian Hang knew, or what he knew, but he just felt that something had been discovered by him, and he didn't know what had been discovered.
"I don't know much, but..."Gu Nianhang didn't finish speaking, just looked at Jiuxia meaningfully.
The highest skill to deceive people is to say that nine and a half of the ten sentences are true, but the most critical one is false or not spoken, and... Although the first nine and a half sentences are still Su Jiuxia's own unsure guesses exposed by himself.
"Well, that... Don't say it..."Jiu Xia hesitated for a while with a tangled face, and he had no experience in psychological warfare, and he was completely defeated in the face of Gu Nianhang.
Maybe subconsciously, Jiuxia has put himself in a position above ordinary people, and he feels that since he has been given such an opportunity, he has the obligation to help his friend, who is similar to him before, the weak.
However, he completely forgot that he did not have real power at all.
"Well, I promise you. Gu Nianhang nodded expressionlessly in agreement.
Su Jiuxia sighed lightly, stretched out his right hand horizontally, and the void suddenly grabbed it, and the blue light surrounded the palm of his hand and soared out, condensing into a two-meter-long giant sword, if it weren't for Jiuxia's timely reaction, standing by the door, he almost pierced the bathroom, but fortunately, the school's bathroom was a wooden door, blocking the blue light, otherwise it is estimated that the people outside would go crazy.
However, Gu Nianhang, who was inside, was about to go crazy, and when he caught it, his persistence all along was really not wrong, in this world, there was really a secret!
"What are you..."Gu Nianhang's rare tone was no longer calm, this level of giant sword, one-handed!
"I don't know very well, and neither does Master. ”
"Master?"
"It's Gu Qinghuan. Su Jiuxia took back the Ethereal Spirit Giant Sword, I don't know why, there was always a strange feeling after the secret was revealed by himself, as if a secret world that originally belonged to him was forcibly connected to the outside world by others, although this link process was caused by himself.
"Isn't she, your girlfriend?" Gu Nianhang originally thought that he would hear some romantic stories about the rivers and lakes with swords, but he didn't expect Gu Qinghuan to be Su Jiuxia's master.
"Uh... For that matter... It's not..."I was going to tell Nian Hang the fact that Qinghuan was a boy, but then I thought about it, it didn't seem bad to tease Nian Hang like this.
"So, can you help me communicate with her?"
"That's... He stopped taking disciples. "You don't have to guess Su Jiuxia also knows what Nianhang is thinking, he inexplicably has a sense of crisis, as if he has something important to be snatched away, damn, tell you not to be low-key, you have to pretend to be forced, Gu Nianhang's strength is much stronger than yours, if he starts to cultivate...
"Just talk about it a little..."Although Gu Nianhang's expression was disappointed, he still insisted.
"That's... I'll take you to see him?" As soon as she finished speaking, Su Jiuxia wanted to slap herself in the mouth, just because you have a lot of trouble, you will die if you don't speak! It's over, I'm going to be cut down by the master now, Emma, what if the master really accepts it, isn't this a lie now?
I couldn't help but think of that terrifying scene in my brain, it was after school after a night of self-study, there was no one in all the classrooms, the lights in the corridor were extremely dim and soft, Gu Nianhang's body was lying in a pool of blood on the side, and the master was holding a long knife in his right hand...
Wait, he doesn't seem to use a long knife, okay, the master is holding a long flute in his right hand, and with a serious face, he pressed himself against the wall of the corridor with just his left hand, and then he put the long flute on his neck, with a calm expression, "Jiuxia, you can really make trouble for me, see it, this is the end." ”
"Master... I was wrong, just spare me this time. Jiuxia swallowed and pleaded.
"Hey, what if you find me a third or fourth apprentice?" Qinghuan's weird smile made Jiuxia panic, "I want to punish him." ”
"No, teacher... Woo...?!" The lips are printed, the tip of the dexterous tongue is like a snake wantonly, the warm and smooth touch, the sultry fragrance......
No, Lao Tzu is a straight man, this style of painting is wrong!
Master, your weak face really has nothing to do with the horrors...
"Thank you, but, what's wrong with you, Jiuxia?" Looking at Su Jiuxia, whose expression changed rapidly, sometimes frightened, sometimes embarrassed, sometimes intoxicated, and sometimes angry, even Gu Nianhang, who had always claimed to be a psychological surveyor, was baffled, this guy... What's going on?
"No, you go out first, I want to take a shower to calm down before going to bed. Su Jiuxia suddenly said with a righteous face, "Tomorrow at noon." ”
That's right, it definitely can't be at night.
"Oh. Gu Nianhang, who was still confused.
