Chapter 40: The Beginning of Words
From this incident, Zhu Sunling summed up that she had always made the mistake of being too conceited.
The directive of the categorical imperative does have the negative effect of "inflated self-consciousness". And she must seriously reflect on the mistake she has made in order to avoid the same problem in the future.
Judging from Gao Ying's narration, the reason for this situation is that she believes too much in the control of the command over the candidate. But now it seems that the ability to control only behavior without control of thoughts is fundamentally flawed. Human intelligence is to a certain extent more terrifying than ghosts, not to mention the Jewish people like Verwin who are famous for their high intelligence. She let her guard down to incur this consequence.
But compared to Wilvan, Gao Ying surprised her even more. She inquired about everything about Gao Ying in great detail, and carefully explained every reward he extracted, but she never expected that he would have a reward that he had plundered through special means. In other words, Gao Ying has always been able to take away every reward from her at any time, she has always thought that she is in control of the overall situation, but she didn't expect that her life was simply in Gao Ying's thoughts. Assuming that Gao Ying is a person with a bad heart, her fate is likely to be worse than death.
It's just that there is no point in reflecting now. Now the K-examination room has completely changed power. In this situation, she has realized that she can no longer control the overall situation. Her life and death are now decided by Gao Ying. So in order to survive, she must show that she has full survival value for Gao Ying.
Walking out of Charlene's clinic, Zhu Sunling had already adjusted her mentality and tone, and said to Gao Ying: "What are your plans next?" “
Zhu Sunling subtly began to change her attitude in front of Gao Ying, but she would not blindly flatter, for her, the blood of the Ming royal family in the past may be meaningless to the world today, but it still will not let her abandon her arrogance.
"For now, let's recharge our batteries first." This is Gao Ying's conclusion: "A good rest will also help this exam." ”
Nowadays, the myriad relationships between characters are really confusing. Although a lot of information has been collected, it is still insufficient. As for Charlene, Gao Ying also questioned her just now, and her testimony was completely consistent with Zhang Rong. And what happened after Zhang Rong left, she never said. As Zhang Rong said, she lost that memory. However, as a surgical clinician, she has now overcome the weakness of being afraid of the screams of pain from others, otherwise it would be difficult for her to practice medicine. At the same time, Gao Ying also asked about what she talked about after meeting Zhang Rong yesterday.
At that time, Gao Ying also asked Xia Lin a question: "Do you think Huo Jialan has a grudge against Zhang Rong?" ”
This is a very critical question. Charlene couldn't understand the problem at all. In her opinion, it is reasonable for Zhang Rong to hate her best friend who snatches love with a knife, why is it reversed?
"So what happened back then......"
Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling finally walked back to the corner of their respective homes.
"Sunling, you ......" entered Zhu Sunling's house, her "parents" looked at them in surprise, and Gao Ying said: "Please treat the two of you as if you didn't see it, and don't have any reaction to it." Carry out this order, but forget that I gave you the order. ”
The small room upstairs gathers all the candidates.
Of course...... Not all. Wilvan, Isabella and Zhang Zhifeng were not there.
"You're here......" Ling Lixia opened the door to them and said, "Most of them are here." ”
At this time, as soon as they entered the door, the candidates stood up in unison.
"We have to have a comprehensive explanation!" One of the tall candidates said angrily, "What happened to you using language to control and order us before? Let's come, but you have waited so long to come back? ”
Obviously, the order given to them by Zhu Sunling before was invalid. And Zhu Sunling also quickly noticed this.
This means that Wilvan and Isabella will be more troublesome when they hide in the shadows.
"Silence!" Gao Ying glanced at everyone present and said, "Don't make loud noises!" ”
The effect of the Absolute Order immediately began to work, and everyone immediately fell silent. They looked at Gao Ying in horror, and it was obvious that this feeling of being manipulated and dominated like a puppet was very uncomfortable.
"Now, all of you look at me and listen to me......"
At this time, Gao Ying suddenly noticed a candidate in the corner.
It was a young examinee with a beautiful face, and his height seemed to be about 1.80 meters. He actually ...... Didn't follow Gao Ying's orders!
"You ......" Gao Ying walked up, made sure that he was facing the candidate head-on, and said, "I said ......"
"It's useless." The candidate shook his head slightly and said, "Any prize drawn below the Abyss level is completely invalid for me. ”
As soon as these words came out, Gao Ying was suddenly shocked, and instinctively took two steps back!
It's no wonder that Gao Ying was so stunned, how could a rookie candidate on the other side know about the Abyss level?
"Are you...... Who? After Gao Ying realized that the absolute order was invalid, he had already begun to subconsciously search for anything around him that could be used as a weapon.
Is the other party related to Werwin in any way? Is it also the one who stands on the opposite side of the devil's messenger?
"Don't be so nervous." The examinee saw Gao Ying's attitude as if he was facing a great enemy, and said, "Don't worry, I am not your 'enemy'." The enemies of our 'messengers of the devil' are those of the 'messengers of God'. ”
……
Agnes wrote a line on the exam paper.
When she looked up again, the ghost that had been standing in the corner a few seconds ago was gone.
And Ji Yixuan was standing behind Agnes.
"He ...... just now," Ji Yixuan recalled the terrifying scene just now, "that ghost just now seemed to want to say something to us." ”
Agnes recalled the ghost's eyes and said, "I feel the same way. ”
It's not the first time she's been exposed to ghosts. But this time, in the eyes of the ghost, there was no particularly strong killing intent.
And the ghost's lips twitched, as if he wanted to say something. It's a pity that I couldn't say anything for a long time.
"I think the look of that ghost is familiar."
"I've never seen my father, but my mother looks at me like the ghost." She muttered, "That ghost doesn't blink to death, he has a strong attachment to the world. ”
Father......
That ghost is a father.
And he is concerned about the children who are still living in this world.
Agnes instinctively felt this way.
"Agnes, one day, you and your father can be reunited...... You're sure to be the first to find out who your father is. ”
She will never forget what her mother said to her.
"To the family, your father is the one they have made the wrong bet on. At that time, your father lost everything at one time, and the family members were also suffering from a crisis due to the gradual collapse of the former Soviet Union, so at that time the family decided to bet everything on your father and let me marry your father in exchange for the hope of family revival. As long as your father passes the final exam, the family will be revived. ”
Obviously, passing the final exam is more than just eternal life.
That would give the family a place above the world.
"But I really love your father...... Although for your father, our marriage was just an exchange of interests. But I still love him, Agnes. You must live with your father, Agnes......"
However, Agnes had no idea when she might meet her father.
……
Late at night, Zhu Sunling's home.
At this time, there were only Gao Ying, Zhu Sunling and the young candidate in the bedroom.
"Agnes, is she alright?" The candidate looked at Gao Ying with a very caring look at this time: "I really don't think I'm a competent father to her. ”
She ...... Very good, at least she should pass the last exam. I don't know what she's doing at the moment. ”
"I came up with the name Agnes from the heroine of Dickens's David Copperfield." When the candidate heard that Agnes was fine, he smiled with relief: "Even if I sacrifice my life, I will definitely let her get eternal life, I will." ”
The name of the junior candidate is Yan Yuchu.
And in his previous life, his name was Charles, and it was ...... Agnes' biological father!
