It was getting dark, and the Cambrian Academy was quieting down.

Because of the weekend, I didn't see anyone along the way, and there were very few places where the lights were on, and I could only see a glimmer of light through the cracks in the woods.

For some reason, Yan Hua suddenly said with emotion: "It turns out that the academy at night is like this. ”

Chen Shui led the way in front, and after hearing Yan Hua's emotion, he subconsciously asked, "Otherwise, what do you think it will look like?" ”

Yan Hua thought for a while and said, "The lights are bright? Or are you a student everywhere? ”

Chen Shui replied lightly: "Well, what you said shouldn't be from some ancient books, right?" You can't see what you're talking about in the Cambrian, even Cambrian has to conserve resources, and it's so close to the Endless Forest, it's not a good thing to make yourself too conspicuous at night. ”

It has been more than a year since he came to Super Cambrian, Yan Hua naturally knows what Chen Shui said, and the reason why he suddenly recalled the previous events was more because of the tension that gradually rose in his heart.

Yan Hua climbed out of the life support cabin and came to Cambrian under the leadership of Ling Feixue, if Principal Cambrian didn't know about it, even he didn't believe it.

Although I am glad that I was not locked up by the academy and studied like a guinea pig, I also became an awakened person under the guidance and care of Ling Feixue and Chen Shui, and had my own abilities; But for this meeting, he still felt an inexplicable panic.

It was an indescribable panic, and Yan Hua felt as if his consciousness had been split into two halves.

One is constantly urging him to lift the veil that covers the truth, while the other is clinging to the corners of the veil, like a Pandora's box hidden underneath, which, once opened, will bring unimaginable disaster to the world.

"Are you worried?" Chen Shui suddenly asked.

Yan Hua nodded silently, regardless of whether Chen Shui could see it with his back to him.

Chen Shui's voice came again: "Bai Qi? Or yourself? ”

Yan Hua said slowly: "I don't know either, maybe there are all of them." ”

Chen Shui's shoulders shook slightly, as if he was laughing, and comforted: "Well, don't worry." After Bai Qi took the tranquilizer, he would not wake up until noon tomorrow at the earliest, and with Xiong Chao and Su Xiaoxiao here, there would be no problems over there.

As for the principal, although he is sometimes a little unserious and always steals my sweets, I can tell that he values you very much, and there will be no problem. ”

"Hmm."

Yan Hua didn't say the real reason for his uneasiness, but just hummed softly.

Chen Shui saw that Yan Hua was not in high spirits, so he didn't say anything more, and came to an office building without saying a word.

"The principal's office is on the far right of the corridor on the second floor, and the one with the lights on is it." Chen Shui stopped, turned around and patted Yan Hua's shoulder and said, "You can go up by yourself." ”

"Okay."

Yan Hua nodded and walked towards the stairs.

"That's right."

Chen Shui seemed to have thought of something, suddenly stopped Yan Hua, and said with a serious face, "When you finish talking, take advantage of that old man's inattention to rummage through the drawer of his desk." ”

Yan Hua couldn't help but be stunned, and asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”

Chen Shui said indignantly: "I have lost my dessert tonight, but that old man must have stock there, you go and help me bring one out secretly." ”

"Ugh!"

Yan Hua looked at the other party speechlessly, and only replied after a long while, "I'll try my best." ”

After that, without waiting for Chen Shui to continue speaking, he hurriedly rushed to the stairs, and disappeared into the corridor in the blink of an eye.

The principal's office is on the far right side of the corridor on the second floor, and it is the only room in the entire office building with lights on, so it is naturally easy to find.

Yan Hua came to the door of the office with almost no effort, then took a deep breath and raised his hand to clasp it on the door.

Knock knock!

The knock on the door echoed in the empty corridor, as if only Yan Hua and the door in front of him were left in the entire office building.

"Please come in."

When a neutral voice came from behind the door, Yan Hua's originally nervous mood suddenly miraculously calmed down, and even the hand holding the doorknob stabilized.

Yan Hua walked into the principal's office and found that the situation inside was unexpectedly ordinary.

An ordinary desk, an ordinary sofa, an ordinary potted plant, and a thin old man with white hair and a white beard, who knew at a glance that he was the principal.

They are also old men, and their stature is also in the lower middle range, but the Cambrian principal and Tie Liuhua give people a completely different feeling, the former knows that he is an educator as soon as he sees it, while the latter is an old rascal at best.

"Headmaster, I heard you're looking for me?" Yan Hua came to the desk and bowed slightly to the old man who was crouching on the desk with glasses.

"Huh?"

Principal Cambrian raised his head, looked at Yan Hua through the lens, showed the same kind smile as the old man next door, and nodded, "It turns out that you are Yan-san classmate!" I do have something to do with you, so I'll sit down and talk about it first. ”

Yan Hua pulled a chair and just sat down, when he saw the principal reach out and open the drawer on his side, take out two pudding-like desserts, and then push one of them in front of him and said, "If you don't mind, how about chatting while eating?" ”

Yan Hua shook his head, took the pudding casually, and glanced at the book that had just been closed in the other party's hand, and found that the place where the title of the book should have been on the gray-brown leather cover had long been mottled, and it was obviously a long history.

"What? Are you also interested in this ancient book from before the Dark Ages? The principal looked along the line of sight and found that Yan Hua was staring at the ancient book in his hand, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Do you want me to borrow you for a few days?" ”

Yan Hua suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly refused: "No need, thank you!" ”

"Huh!"

The headmaster chuckled absently and said, "Also, for you, there is really nothing unusual about these ancient books, or maybe you have already read them. ”

Yan Hua was gradually infected by this kind of relaxed conversation, and also smiled: "This is not necessarily, there are many literary works before the Dark Ages, especially there are more excellent creations spread through the information network, and a person may not dare to read any books in his life." ”

"What an interesting time!" There was a deep look of yearning in the principal's eyes, and he sighed, "Presumably, the human beings of that era must have been happier than they are now, right?" ”

Yan Hua scratched his head and said, "I can't say that, although the human society before the Dark Ages didn't have to worry about the threat of the Strange Beast, there were also all kinds of worries. At least in terms of energy, it also advocates economical use. ”

"Hah!"

The principal looked at Yan Hua and suddenly smiled, "It seems that we still have a common topic in terms of energy conservation." ”

"Actually, it's still a little different."

Yan Hua said a little helplessly, "Although the energy before the Dark Ages is also in a state of depletion, it has not reached the imminent level, so most of the savings depend on personal consciousness and the government's call, but the current situation is a last resort for survival." ”

The headmaster asked, "So you think the biggest dilemma facing humanity at the moment is energy, right?" ”

Yan Hua replied with some uncertainty: "Maybe, but I think the main threat should be the Alien Beast, after all, the problem of energy development may be successful one day, but the victory or defeat in the biological competition is the key to whether the entire race can continue." ”

After listening to Yan Hua's analysis, the principal blinked his eyes and asked, "So does Yan think that human beings can win in this competition involving the entire race?" ”

Yan Hua originally wanted to answer in the affirmative, but as soon as he was about to speak, he recalled the scene he saw when he first arrived in the Cambrian and the scene he saw in the Silver Lake Forest later, and he was a little undecided.

"You hesitated." The headmaster looked at Yan Huadao, who was about to speak, "It seems that you have deeply felt the pressure brought by the Strange Beast to the human race. ”

"Actually......." Yan Hua thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it." ”

"Huh?"

The headmaster seemed to really regard this meeting as small talk, and said with an interested look, "It's just the two of us here anyway, just say something directly." ”

"I've always had a question, since humans have known that the Alien Beasts have evolved intelligence, why can't we have a good talk with them and coexist peacefully?"

After Yan Hua finished speaking, his heart suddenly became nervous, for fear that his thoughts would anger the unfathomable Cambrian principal in front of him.

Who knew that after listening to Yan Hua's question, the principal not only did not get angry, but instead showed an approving smile and said: "Very good question, I won't hide it from you, in the Cambrian more than 10,000 years, there are actually many people who have such thoughts as you, and even when I was young, similar thoughts occasionally popped up." ”

Yan Hua didn't expect that his words not only did not usher in a reprimand, but were appreciated by the principal, and he couldn't help but be a little overwhelmed.

"But no!"

The Headmaster sighed faintly, "Even if the prejudices of non-our race can be put aside between humans and Alien Beasts, peace must be established on the condition of equal strength.

The earth is so big, and the resources are getting less and less, in exchange for any one side to gain an advantage, and will never want the other side to continue to exist, and we human beings are now obviously at a disadvantage in terms of both numbers and strength. ”

Yan Hua asked puzzledly: "The Strange Beast is powerful, but there are strong people like you in the human race, is it too exaggerated to have an advantage or something." ”

Principal Cambrian laughed at himself and said, "Stronger than Ling Cambrian and unable to completely eliminate the hidden danger of the Alien Beast, it can only barely open up a space for humans to survive, how can I, an old man, reverse this unfavorable situation?" ”

Yan Hua wanted to say something more, but the principal continued: "So we can only pin our hopes on a future that may surpass Ling Hanwu, and this future is you, and Bai Qi." ”。

"Me?"

The headmaster nodded and said, "That's right, in order to be able to completely defeat the Alien Beast, Ling Hanwu once put forward an idea, that is, after ten thousand years of precipitation, the strongest combat power of the human race will be cultivated from generation to generation, and you and Bai Qi are the two strongest weapons among them - the Heavenly King and the Hades King!" ”
