Chapter 123: Return
The history of Yuehua's founding is very old, much more than the history of those empires that have gone back and forth. It is said that its founders are still alive today.
Yuehua's admissions criteria are very weird, it uses an unknown method to select talents, and those candidates who apply for the recruitment just say that they have slept and the assessment is over. However, due to the fact that most of Yuehua's students will be superior in strength in the future, this method has only been criticized by a small number of candidates who have not been admitted.
Ke Dong and Song Xin hurried along the way, because Ke Dong wanted to see this legendary assessment, and when they came to Yuehua, the assessment had not yet been completed.
Yuehua opened two doors to deal with the flow of people in front of her, one is to allow those who don't need to be assessed to enter quickly and get familiar with it in advance. For example, Ke Dong and Song Xin. There is also a door to test those who need to be examined, such as the group of nobles who can't come back.
It's just a small door for Ke Dong and these people, because there are too few people who don't need to be assessed. And the other door is indeed very crowded, because Yuehua's assessment is more troublesome, and can only come one by one, resulting in many people in front of the door without assessment.
Ke Dong and Song Xin came to the small door, and there was already a reception person next to the door, probably Yuehua's mentor or something.
"Hello, I'm Ke Dong from the Star Empire, and this is Princess Song Xin."
The receptionist hurriedly took out the image stone for comparison, and after finding that it was correct, he said:
"That's right, it's two, now you can go in."
With that, he made a gesture of please.
Ke Dong smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I don't know your name?"
The receptionist was very surprised, this group of exempted people hurriedly walked in after hearing that they could go in, after all, they could develop more of their own contacts earlier, and inquire about Yuehua's situation before ordinary people came in, and the alliance between them also developed a prototype at this time.
"My word is called Ruth. Reed, a regular tutor at school. ”
"Hello, Mr. Reed."
Ke Dong greeted and motioned for Song Xin to go in first. Song Xin knew that Ke Dong was going to participate in the assessment, so he didn't say much, but went in to develop his own power first.
"I want to participate in Yuehua's assessment, I don't know if it's okay?"
Reed frowned, he had seen a lot of aristocrats who wanted to prove that they were much better than others, but the one in front of him didn't look like that kind of person in terms of conversation or cultivation, did the other party just come to try? But there's nothing to lose anyway, so it's okay for him to give it a try.
After thinking about this, Reed motioned for Ke Dong to follow him, and then took Ke Dong to the examiner, and said their intentions, the examiner obviously did not encounter this situation for the first time, agreed and said that Ke Dong could cut in line.
Ke Dong waved his hand, and then consciously walked to the back of the line.
This scene left a good impression on the two mentors, and the elegant nobles had seen a lot, but such a rare thing was indeed rare.
Yuehua has its own system, some people don't need exams, some people need exams, and some people who need exams must also test their talents before exams. You guessed it right, they are the big nobles, the nobles, the minor nobles and the commoners.
Yuehua has always been proud of cultivating strong people, as long as you have strength, you will not care about your identity.
Ke Dong originally wanted to test his talent, but he thought that he had used a lot of this kind of thing, but either there was no response, or he gave some unknown information. Ke Dong pursed his lips and walked to the end of the assessment team.
In the slow wait, the sun was slowly setting in the west, and the line was getting shorter and shorter.
Fortunately, because it is close to the end of the assessment, Ke Dong does not need to wait until the next day, it will be his turn in the evening, but Ke Dong is not in a hurry at all, looking at the people in front of him or crying or happy, Ke Dong feels very interesting.
Before the sun set, Ke Dong finally came to the place of assessment, that is, a gray tent, surrounded by various magical barriers, to prevent the prying eyes of those who care.
Ke Dong became more interested in all this, and entered the tent with a smile that seemed very happy to outsiders.
When Ke Dong entered, the examiner was ready, he took a bottle of potion, did not say superfluous words, but said directly to Ke Dong:
"Go there and lie down, and drink this potion."
Ke Dong was very obedient and did everything without saying a word.
By the time Codon became conscious again, he had already arrived at a carriage. Ke Dong shook his head vigorously and muttered:
"Where is this, and who am I?"
Then the memories came flooding back, his name was Ke Dong, and he was the supreme general who led the human race against the alien race, after he entered the moonflower..............
The memory that was flowing came to an abrupt end, replaced by darkness, endless darkness, never-ending darkness, accompanied by eternal loneliness and sadness.
After that, the original memories belonging to Ke Dong returned to his head, Ke Dong shook his head to calm his mind, and then thought about the source of the first two memories.
"The first one, probably forced into me by this assessment, and also allowed me to subconsciously combine my previous experiences to shape a reliable and realistic memory, and I haven't discovered it yet. In the second paragraph, it forcibly truncated the first paragraph and brought me to my senses, but it ...... Where does it come from? ”
Ke Dong searched his mind and didn't find a trace of relevant information, so Ke Dong gave up, Ke Dong wouldn't waste too much time on these informationless questions. Then he quickly skimmed through the first memory that he hadn't finished reading just now.
It's basically his only hope as a human being, and now his family has been kidnapped by a foreign race, and the other party has promised him a generous reward, the position and money will not be worse than his current commander as a human race, the other party in order to prove the authenticity, he did not hesitate to sign a soul contract, you know, if you violate the soul contract, the soul will be dragged into the abyss,
So, his choice comes, the survival of his family and other human beings, you, which one to choose.
Honestly, if someone else comes. Maybe they will be entangled for a while, because they can't even see that this is just a dream. They will have a real memory of their past life.
But this is not difficult for Ke Dong, in the first memory his family is the Andrea family, so there is no need to choose, Ke Dong decisively asked the groom to take him to the direction of the alien race.
Because, even in his dreams, he was unwilling to let Ji Liye suffer the slightest harm.
After that, everything around Ke Dong disappeared, and it seems that the score of this round has been obtained, not that if you choose an alien race, it must be a zero score, but if you choose a human race, it must be a full score, and it will be scored according to your various mental activities.
After the carriage disappeared, Codong came to a pure white world, as far as the eye could see, as if on the seaside.
Just as Ke Dong was thinking about what kind of place this was, another Ke Dong suddenly appeared in front of him.
"So, is the plot of the third-rate knight followed by an old-fashioned self-challenge? It's boring. ”
Ke Dong was right, what he was seeing in front of him was indeed a copy of him, which was exactly the same in terms of personality and habits, except that he would not communicate with Ke Dong.
"I said, the guy on the other side, we should have a good talk."
But the copied Ke Dong didn't want to say a word, pulled out the sacrifice on his waist and slashed towards Ke Dong. Ke Dong dodged sideways, pulled out the sword at his waist with his backhand, and met it.
The content of this trial is how much time you can hold on to the replicants, the other party's setting is three times that of yours, and there is basically no such thing as a counter-kill, and the other party also has an advantage, that is, the other party has no real self-awareness, so there will be no instinctive human reaction.
But fortunately, Ke Dong's instinctive reaction is basically non-existent, so he can fight with the copied Ke Dong for a while.
But just when Ke Dong resisted the opponent's attack, Ke Dong found that the opponent's offensive rhythm was getting more and more chaotic, and Ke Dong could turn over and suppress the other party.
"What's going on here? Is this a premise? It shouldn't be. ”
It really shouldn't be, according to the general trial, it should be the replicant who defeated him, and then the trial ended, but this time the other party was inexplicably weak.
Ke Dong frowned and thought as he stalemate with the other party, and he suddenly found that the other party, who had been expressionless, suddenly smiled.
This smile is familiar to Ke Dong, because he himself often laughs like this. Ke Dong jumped back and asked tentatively:
"Let's have a good talk this time."
I didn't expect the other party to speak.
"No problem."
After getting the other party's reply, Ke Dong put away his weapon, he knew very well that neither he nor his copied self would break his word.
"So, tell me who you are."
The other party smiled strangely and said:
"Me, naturally, it's you, no, I should say most of your feelings."
It's mine...... Most of the feelings?
Ke Dong always knew that his thinking had been tampered with and tampered with by someone. But he didn't notice anything other than knowing that he couldn't kill himself.
It seems that the other party has separated some of my feelings.
The other party patiently waited for Ke Dong to finish thinking about all this, and then said:
"People's perception of their emotions is generally superficial, even if they gradually become indifferent, they just hide their emotions in the bottom of their hearts, but you are different, don't you find yourself too calm?"
Just as angry people don't care if they're angry or not, they only care about how to vent their anger, and people who are always calm don't care why they're calm, but think about other things all the time.
But after the other party said this, Ke Dong couldn't help but feel that he might have some emotional and emotional problems, in addition to being calm, he would occasionally show helplessness and curiosity, even if it appeared, it only lasted for a very short time.
After Ke Dong figured it all out, he said to the other party:
"Thank you so much, I have one more reason to torture that person."
The other party just smiled and didn't speak.
"So, did you show up this time to come back?"
The other party waved his hand and said:
"Go back to the torture of being imprisoned all the time? I can't stand it. ”
"I showed up just to say hello to you, and to tell you something."
"There are some things that can only be handled with emotion and not wisdom. Sooner or later, you will be planted on your calmness, be careful. ”
After the other party finished speaking, he disappeared automatically.
Ke Dong didn't let the other party stay, and if it was him, he was not willing to return. Ke Dong looked at the place where the other party disappeared and said to himself:
"You're right, that day will come. When the time comes......"
Then Ke Dong fell unconscious again, and by the time he opened his eyes, he was back in the tent with the examiner next to him.
Ke Dong shook his head, and the examiner was not in a hurry, and when Ke Dong was fully awake, he said:
"You don't have to remember those dreams, we deliberately let you forget them, and besides, you passed."
Ke Dong's score in the first level is very low, but he can't stand his score in the second level is particularly high.
It's just that Ke Dong didn't show his joy, because he was able to enter without going through the assessment.
The strange thing is that Ke Dong has not forgotten the events in the dream.
"Is that black memory the hell again?" Ke Dong muttered.
Here I want to talk about Yuehua's two assessments, both of which can be seen, the first is to test your resistance to temptation, and the other is how to choose between race and yourself. The second test is your potential and resilience, and how to deal with desperate situations.
The first one accounts for a small score, about a third of the total. After all, the most important thing Yuehua values is strength, and the others can be cultivated slowly, and it doesn't want to spend a lot of effort to cultivate just an ordinary person. That's why Ke Dong can be qualified.
The second accounts for seventy percent, and in this assessment, except for those guys with the protagonist template, none of them can beat the mirror image.
From this point of view, I am still the protagonist.
Kedong sighed as he walked out of the tent and walked to the small door, where Ruth was still waiting, and Kedong said hello. When the other party saw Ke Dong coming out, he hurriedly asked:
"How's it going, Mr. Codon?"
Ruth waited here for so long just to see the results of Ke Dong, after all, people like Ke Dong were rare, and it really piqued his curiosity.
"Ah, maybe it's better luck to get through."
To tell the truth, the pass rate of people who can go through the small door is not low, in more than half, everyone is a big noble, what resources they have since childhood, and their strength will naturally not be low, and most of them are trained as successors, frequently participate in various banquets, and after various tempering, their temperament will not be bad. The pass rate is naturally high.
After Ruth blessed Ke Dong, he let Ke Dong in, there is a special dormitory in the college, and Ke Dong doesn't need to find a place to live.
Today was the last day of enrollment, and these nobles who had already arrived here naturally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to socialize, so they rented an auditorium as the host of the banquet.
Song Xin, as the heir of the Star Empire, is a treasure in the eyes of these nobles, and after a good relationship, just marrying is a lot of wealth, not to mention that Song Xin looks like a country and a city, and his strength is also top. So there was naturally no shortage of suitors around Song Xin, but despite this, Song Xin also got rid of them and deliberately stood in front of the door waiting for Ke Dong's return.
Ke Dong was still surprised when he saw Song Xin waiting for him, in his expectation, Song Xin should be talking to those nobles now, but he didn't expect it......
"Thank you very much for waiting for me here, Lady Princess."
Ke Dong was not hypocritical, and thanked him very happily.
"I just wanted to tell you, that group of people had a dinner party, are you going to go?"
Ke Dong turned a blind eye to Song Xin's arrogance and said:
"I really respect this kind of thing, every time I look at their hypocritical and childish faces, I feel disgusting."
Song Xin pursed her lips unconvinced, and said:
"Isn't it that my performance at the banquet is also disgusting to you."
If Ke Dong wants to maintain his favorability now, he should say:
"Of course not, only you are special."
If he wanted to increase Song Xin's favorability, he should say:
"Oh no, you're shining at all times."
But he was Codon, and despite knowing all of the above, he said:
"Yes, it's a little disgusting."
This sentence hurt Song Xin a lot, she refused everyone's invitation, just to wait for Ke Dong here, but she didn't expect Ke Dong to save her face at all, and directly told the truth.
Song Xin's eyes instantly filled with tears, she didn't look at Ke Dong again, covered her face and ran back to her room.
"So, isn't this kind of scene of young couples breaking up too bad?"
If you think that Ke Dong's approach is deliberate, you are wrong, Ke Dong did not use this matter to deliberately reject Song Xin, although Song Xin has a good impression of Ke Dong now, probably almost to the extent of liking. But Ke Dong doesn't have the heart to care about love, this kind of thing can be just fate. He was just telling the truth just now, and he didn't expect Song Xin's reaction to be so big.
If Ke Dong is the kind of stupid and stupid idiot male protagonist, he should be desperate to admit his mistakes first and beg for forgiveness now, so that he can further attack Song Xin, but unfortunately, Ke Dong is not that kind of person, he is known for controlling people's hearts, Song Xin's mind cannot hide from Ke Dong, but Ke Dong has no intention of doing anything.
"Now, reason tells me that I should go back to my room and rest, but that only emotion is left and makes me apologize, really...... It's so troublesome. ”
Ke Dong covered his head and muttered to himself.
In order to show respect for his remaining sensuality, Ke Dong decided to apologize.
"Well, let's commemorate my lost feelings." 2
Ke Dong comforted himself as he walked towards Song Xin's room. And he told himself that what he was doing was just a kind of self-comfort.
Speaking of Ke Dong's way of thinking, it can be mentioned a little that for normal people, thinking is thinking, and for Ke Dong, no matter when, there is always a voice in his head to remind him all the time, for example, when Ke Dong is angry, an indifferent voice unconsciously appears in his mind, telling him that he is angry now and needs to calm down. This is also one of the reasons why Ke Dong is very calm, the voice in his head will only tell him how to behave his emotions now, and it has nothing to do with the environment he is in and what he is doing. In addition to these two kinds of thinking, Ke Dong also has a kind of idle thinking, which is to help him deal with the problems that he once stored in his mind when his mind is not running at full capacity, like a machine that works automatically in his spare time.
Even though his mind was now full of complaints and ridicule from indifferent voices, he still resolutely walked towards Song Xin's house.
Yuehua treats these big nobles very well, everyone has an independent small villa, then again, the money is also from the nobles, not only that, part of Yuehua's funds and materials are from the nobles, so it will naturally release a little privilege, and the wool comes from the sheep.
Everyone has their own name in front of the villa, the villas are connected, Ke Dong's villa and Song Xin's are separated a lot, and when Ke Dong finds Song Xin's villa one by one, Song Xin is sitting on the edge of the bed with an angry and sad face.
If it is for the average male protagonist, he will definitely grind in front of the door before apologizing to the female protagonist, but Ke Dong knocked on Song Xin's door very calmly.
How shameless this is, just made others angry and now comes to apologize without any psychological pressure.
Song Xin is angry now, and now the people who can knock on the door are either those suitors or Ke Dong, for these two goods, she doesn't have a good impression of any of them, she said in a cold tone:
"I'm sorry, whatever you're up to right now, please go away."
Ke Dong smiled wordlessly, changed to a thick bass and said:
"Hello, Song Xin. Field, I'm the tutor of the Academy, and I'm here to tell you about tomorrow's ceremony. ”
These few words couldn't help but not let Song Xin open the door, but ushered in a colder reaction.
"Whoever you are, get out of here now."
Ke Dong spread his hands helplessly outside, and said in the voice of Song Xin's father:
"Song Xin, it's me, your father, who wants to discuss with you about what you have in the time bag."
Song Xin was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to open the door, but then thought that she had only exchanged information with her father in the imperial capital a few days ago, even if her father came in the Demon Dao Fortress, it would not be possible to come so quickly, so thinking about it, she knew that it was Ke Dong who was doing something outside.
"Ke Dong, why are you here, aren't you disgusting to me?"
Ke Dong knew that Song Xin was talking angrily, and thought that he couldn't go in directly. Fortunately, their villas are two-storey, and there is a balcony on the second floor, and Ke Dong jumped lightly and jumped onto the balcony.
When Song Xin heard that it was Ke Dong outside, although she was furious, she still had a trace of joy in her heart, at least she knew that it was not easy to make someone like Ke Dong apologize, which showed that the other party still cared about her.
Ke Dong's infiltration skills are very good, and because it was the first day, Song Xin did not set up a warning magic around, so Ke Dong came to Song Xin's room very smoothly.
But the problem is only beginning now, that is, how should Ke Dong apologize, method 1: "I'm sorry I told the truth, next time I will consider your feelings." ”
If Ke Dong is not kicked out by Song Xin after saying this, it is impossible for Ke Dong not to be kicked out, maybe it is not bad to be directly divided into specimens by Song Xin in the house, so that I can write Song Xin as the heroine, I am really a little excited to think about it. 2
Ahem. The above is purely true...... Oh no, it's a mouthwash.
Method 2: "I'm sorry, I was telling a lie. ”
If Song Xin can believe this, then she will not be the heir of the empire, and she may be directly ridiculed by Song Xin.
So, how should I apologize? Ke Dong thought as he rubbed his forehead.
Or should I not come?
I have to change the subject.
After making up his mind, Ke Dong pushed Song Xin's bedroom open.
If Song Xin is taking a shower to calm down or something like that, then this book will become a joy to see, if Song Xin is now preparing some kind of bubbling potion with a dark face, then this book will become dark, and if Song Xin is waiting for Ke Dong by the door with a broken face, then this book will become a fine direction. But alas, this book is normal, uh, you should listen to it.
So Song Xin is now sitting on the edge of the bed with an angry face practicing some kind of lethal magic, after hearing the sound of the door opening, Song Xin raised his head, looked at Ke Dong who was smiling outside the door, and scolded angrily:
"How did you get in, forget it, anyway, get out of here."
Ke Dong is not a wooden male protagonist with ultra-low emotional intelligence, so naturally he will not go out obediently, Ke Dong approached Song Xin with a smile and said:
"My princess, after I think about it, I think it was my mistake just now, after all, there is a beautiful woman waiting for me to come back in the dark, but I don't know what to do, I have to come and apologize no matter what I think."
