In Si Luer's eyes, at the beginning, he just regarded Jiang Shang as an ordinary classmate.

It's amazing, because the brother and sister combination of Shiraishi and the Night Singer took a special look.

"Huh? The most haode school in Haiming City, the first place in the most haode class, will actually be a white stone? ”

Initially, no one was optimistic about him, including Silul.

"Heh, I have seen a lot of children who are dead studying, and the more I go to the higher grades, the more and more subjects involve soul energy, and the more difficult my studies are, and it is only a matter of time before Baishi, who can't even afford to use the soul energy lamp, falls behind."

What is surprising is that this peer refuted all prejudices with practical actions, and he was still the first in his grade in the midterm exam in the first semester.

"Hmph, at the end of the term, there is a real combat test, and the actual combat class will account for 40% of the total score, I hope he will not fall below 100 in the total ranking."

"No, no, it's not good, standing tall, falling hurts, and after being hit, I don't dare to come to school. After all, we have seen a lot of such 'honor students'. Those guys are usually high-spirited, and as soon as they are hit by their best studies, they will collapse. ”

But to everyone's surprise, it was the white stone boy, with his excellent physical skills and various elusive methods, he sat on the top spot.

"Damn, I actually made a white stone the first in the age, and we have no face."

"Yes, at the last party, those guys in the fourth middle school were laughing at us, saying that we had no one in the first middle school, and they actually let a white stone occupy the top."

"Those bastards in the fourth! Obviously, the entrance threshold for our No. 1 high school is much higher than theirs. ”

"However, it's really embarrassing to let Baishi suppress everyone."

"If he doesn't go to school...... Naturally, it's not the first age. ”

"You mean ......."

"Real combat and actual combat tests are two different things, so let's teach him what actual combat is. Even if he can fight, he can fight a few. ”

When many students surrounded Jiang Shang, although Si Luer knew, she didn't care much, she neither participated nor stopped, after all, it was just a stranger who had nothing to do with her.

"Another guy who doesn't think he's going to be able to do anything about himself, and that's how it turns out...... However, to be able to get the first evaluation in actual combat, I still want to have a chance to fight him, but it's a pity. ”

She just sighed slightly, she was busy with her own affairs again, she had been studying very hard recently, her soul power cultivation had also entered the formality, and the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce had begun to take over, and she was already busy and urgently needed the art of clone.

But what was surprising was that it was not Jiang Shang who didn't come to school the next day, but the dozen or so people who went to block him.

Moreover, soon, rumors spread that Jiang Shang used despicable means to defeat his opponents one by one.

And Jiang Shang did not have the calmness of the victor at all, although he did not go too far to drain the opponent's soul energy, but the loser's wallet was ransacked by him, and the empty wallet, clothes and other loot were tied to the door frame at the door of the classroom.

The next day, the students who came to school, every time they took off their things with a red face, there was a burst of laughter in the classroom, which was a shameful lesson.

This time, Siluer could be regarded as taking note of this young man.

But the students who were unwilling to fail and lose face did not understand the matter, and called several sieges, but the result was the same as now.

The only one who came to school on time the next day was Jiang Shang himself, and those who participated in the siege were bound to be absent, and the next day, the unlucky ones who came up one by one to collect their empty wallets and treasures were destined to become the laughing stock of the next week.

This time, Si Luer took the initiative to inquire about Jiang Shang's actions.

"Hiding in Tibet, chasing after the crowd, but being broken one by one after being alone? Sneak attacks, sand throwing, trapping? Hehe, it's really despicable,"

Obviously, this is not a good person, much less a pedantic pacifist.

But what was unexpected was that his uncle gave Jiang Shang a high evaluation.

“…… Is less more more? Defeating the strong with the weak? In my opinion, it's just a few-to-many bullying of the weak, the strength of the head is superior, and the tactics are properly arranged, so naturally that Shiraishi won. As for the meanness of the means? There is no despicable justice on the battlefield, and the one who can survive the victory is the winner of Zuihou. ”

"One side has the consciousness of a warrior, but the other side looks down on the opponent because of the large number of people, and under the advantages of one or the other, heh, of course, that Baishi wins. However, being able to teach the opponent a lesson without causing fatal damage, and make the opponent lose face while enriching his wallet, this scheming is more valuable than strength, and that kid is not simple. ”

Since you have been on the battlefield and seen the professional night watchman of the great world say so, then, try to recruit, after all, as the future head of the chamber of commerce, talent is indispensable.

After that, it was unexpected, the solicitation was rejected, but for Silul, it was not a big deal.

"Hmph, it's just a white stone, bullying a few rookies and cocking his tail into the sky. Wait, I'll try it with you in the next actual combat class, so that you can know the power of the real soul technique, and there will be times when you cry. ”

That time, it was an unexpectedly bitter battle

The actual combat drill of the two played a real fire, and many people were injured by mistake.

Siluer was forced to use the soul technique, and when Jiang Shang also used his hole cards, after a series of explosions, although he was injured, the winner of Zuihou was still the strongest Baishi.

And this failure made Siluer, who had a smooth journey, completely remember Jiang Shang.

In the middle of a battle, lose to a Shiraishi who can't use soul skills? With two levels of poor soul power, you can still lose? Disgrace! Siluer's failure directly cast a shadow on her family's evaluation.

The angry girl competed with Jiang Shang in all aspects, hoping to save honor and face, but unfortunately, although Si Luer's strength was growing, Jiang Shang was also getting stronger.

In the battle on campus, Siluer, who could not use the Night's Watch's special soul technique, was restrained, and coupled with Jiang Shang's extreme cunning and unscrupulousness, Siluer was defeated again and again.

When failure becomes a habit, the prestige of mixed good and bad also appears, but when many students are unhappy with Jiang Shang and him, but they dare not clash head-on, they can already explain a lot of problems.

"The only one who can deal with a strange person like Jiang Shang is a genius like Si Luer. Even Siluer can't defeat Jiang Shang, so what's the point of us being on this as much as this. ”

Jiang Shang, on the other hand, acted as if he had nothing to do with himself, just reading his own books, working his own job, and working and studying.

His disdain from the bottom of his heart only angered the sensitive Siluer even more.

But the failures again and again repeatedly beat her self-esteem and self-confidence, and when she knew that this teenager actually relied on part-time work and study, relied on the scholarship of the college, and actually paid for her and her sister's living expenses and tuition fees, she was shaken.

"Brother and sister of the Night Singer and the Old Human...... My brother and I too, the same people don't have the same fate, and his sister is really enviable. ”

Cultivating soul skills is like walking a tightrope, and after lacking the soul power martial arts of refining the body and cultivating the mind, Si Luer's soul power gradually gets out of control, and it is not pleasing to the eye, especially to see Jiang Shang more and more.

But all kinds of difficulties are nothing to Jiang Shang, no matter how angry and dissatisfied Miss Qianjin is, the methods she uses will not be dirty there.

On the contrary, there is always a girl behind her to chat and compete with herself, which feels really unexpectedly good, at least, so that Jiang Shang, who is used to being lonely, also has the urge to make friends.

After that, the scholarship of No. 1 Middle School was also quite generous, the pressure of life was lighter, and Jiang Shang became more sleek, and Jiang Shang successively made two friends, Zhao Xiaosong and Alain.

Si Luer definitely didn't expect that Jiang Shang had a good impression of the class leader, who was always very close to him and was arguing to duel with him, but he didn't discriminate between Baishi and Yuanshi in the class, except for himself, who could get along with the class leader.

At least, instead of being a competitor, Jiang Shang has always regarded her as a friend who is not bad and can be made.

Both of them regard each other as "special" people, which is a kind of fate, perhaps, the two of them became confidants, just a close chance.

While Jiang Shang was gradually walking into the light, Si Luer stepped into the darkness step by step.

The pressure of school, work, failure after failure, and, in a dream, her brother asked for her soul, which made her so anxious that she didn't dare to sleep, and finally turned to alcohol for comfort, and after being punished by the family elders for alcoholism, her dazed heart had nowhere to comfort, and she turned to strange religion.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the Parik family is the head snake of Hemming City, and soon, her participation in the Platinum Will Monk Society was known by the family elders.

Originally, she thought that she would be punished again by the family, after all, the textbooks all said that racism was wrong, but unexpectedly, the family was extremely interested in that extremely racist religion.

"It's an emerging shili, and as the gap between the new and the old grows, the potential is endless."

Parik is optimistic about the Platinum Friars, and the Monks also value Steel's background, after all, since fifty years, the patriarchs of the Parik family have been new humans, a veritable "pure-blood family"

The Monks need the financial support of the Parik family, who also share the beliefs of the Monks and hope for the liliang of this extremist organization, after all, sometimes bottomless violence is more useful than money.

Between the two, it can be called a hit.

Soon, with the support of her family's resources, she not only became a regular member of the Platinum Friars, but also rose to a high-level position, obtaining the teaching position of local bishop and high priest.

Slull was even encouraged by Catelo to teach her more valuable soul skills.

"Self-created soul skills? You're a genius. "Fennell's protection, which infused her with all her four-star soul skills, made her once again appreciated by her uncle.

“…… Melee CombatWith Fennell, I'll teach you another ranged soul skill combo. ”

Catello's admiration, which is a great name for herself in the family, is full of confidence that she can change everything, but a small accident happens.

After being attacked by the damned Knights of the Scales, her school emblem was actually discovered by passers-by!

She did win, and besides, she killed him.

Yes, it was just an accident, Slull, who was recognized as his true face, was frightened, and used the most powerful soul technique, and the first time Fennell's giant form appeared, he killed the witnesses who couldn't react at once.

The short-sighted girl who killed for the first time, didn't even dare to confirm the deceased, put on a cloak in a panic, and left the scene in a panic.

Afterwards, through the channel of the Chamber of Commerce, he unexpectedly discovered that the unlucky guy who was killed was actually Jiang Shang who he had always wanted to defeat.

"I ...... I just wanted to beat him, I really didn't want to kill him! ”

From that night on, Siluer had insomnia, she woke up from nightmares countless times, but what she dreamed of the most was not Jiang Shang himself, but Jiang Shang's sister, Jiang Xiaoyue, questioning her Weishenme to take her brother's life.

In the dream, in reality, the images of Jiang Shang and Fennell gradually coincided, and Siluer's spirit was on the verge of collapse.

And then, she unexpectedly met the living Jiang Shang, and the dead were alive in front of her, which shocked her even more.

She did not get rid of the sin of killing people because of this, but asked herself countless times, who was killed that day, and what happened that day, was it real or illusory, did she want to kill him so much? In the end, do you want him to live, or do you want him to die?

Gradually, every time he saw Jiang Shang, Si Luer had a splitting headache.

She's on the verge of collapse.

"When you take a man's life, you are guilty of murder."

The only spiritual sustenance, perhaps, is to become the new human supremacy of the platinum will, at least, for her, it is a defense of innocence, so there is a dispute with Jiang Shang in the library.

During that quarrel, Jiang Shang was very injured, but in fact, Si Luer was even more seriously injured.

Siluer likes to read, especially likes to read history, after the new era, the original national boundaries and skin color have long become meaningless, reading history and knowing the present, vaguely, she knows that she is wrong, the family is also wrong, and the platinum monk will be even more wrong.

"I have always believed that discrimination and prejudice such as race, skin color, origin, etc., are signs of human stupidity. There is only lowly discrimination and prejudice on the earth, and there is no lowly race, color, or origin. Jiang Shang's words have been echoing in his mind.

But once, she subconsciously avoided deep thinking, and only numbly anesthetized herself with religious slogans...... She just buried her head like a child, not daring to face her sins.

Jiang Shang, on the other hand, ruthlessly tore off the wound, exposing the wound with pus and blood in broad daylight.

It hurts.

When Jiang Shang was indignant, Si Luer could only hold the "Bible" and repeat the scripture-like religious slogan word by word, but as he read it, it became "What is wrong?" "Am I wrong? Or is shijie wrong? "Murmur.

Or, in a sense, she is not wrong, she has come to this point step by step, and she does have an inseparable relationship with Jiang Shang.

"Bad fate? It turned out that I didn't dare to face it. ”

Jiang Shang said that he wanted to wake her up, but in fact, she was awake all the time, but she didn't dare to face it, alcohol, religion? are all means of anesthetizing themselves.

This battle, after she was expelled by Catero, as she said, was meaningless, the only thing was to prove her existence.

"At least I want to prove that my brother's sacrifice of his life is worthwhile."

But everything still ushered in the same result.

The opponent actually evolved again in the battle, and after more than ten years of hard work, he became the whetstone of the opponent, or he was born a supporting role on the stage.

"Heh, it used to be impossible to use the real battlefield soul technique, but now it's ......" Half-kneeling on the ground, Siluer shook his head, angry? Hate? On the surface, at least, it was unusually calm.

The blow hurt, but it hurt her heart even more.

"Yes, it's time to wake up. A soul beast will always be a soul beast, it can't be an elder brother, and whether it is from the future potential or the current strength, I have nothing to say. ”

"Everyone is human, and the so-called 'Night Singer is relatively high, and he should survive to inherit the family', but my brother used it to comfort me and ask me not to blame myself too much, but I have always used it as an anesthetic."

Jiang Shang punched and shattered the heart she had always thought that the new human was more advanced, and the soul skill. The effect of having no taboos suppressed her soul power and made her look back on the past.

"It's time for everything to be over, kill me, Jiang Shang."

After being expelled from the family by Catelo, at first, Si Luer was shocked and disbelieving, and then, he was inexplicably relaxed and calm, and the battle with Jiang Shang was not so much a struggle as a death.

Yes, from the beginning, although she was completely superior in strength, she wanted to die.

Death, for her, is atonement and liberation.

"Dying at the hands of Jiang Shang, who is very similar to his brother, can be regarded as atonement......."

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Jiang Shangli ignored her, just ripped off his already tattered clothes as a strap and bandaged his wounds.

"Murder? That's a crime, don't hurt me, I don't want to be a juvenile delinquent yet. Besides, you didn't do anything wrong. ”

The young man's kind words, in Siluer's ears, were like a thunderbolt from the sky, his pupils dilated, and Siluer was shocked.

"Didn't do anything wrong! I killed my brother! I almost killed you! ”

"Okay, okay, don't I live a good haode, as for your brother's murderer, it is to be judged by law, do you know emergency avoidance and legitimate defense? In that case, if you want not to die, the only way is to kill your brother, and your brother also chose to die. ”

"Okay, if you still can't think about it, even if you hand it over to the Fajia Dou Court for judgment, you are also innocent. You are still underage, you don't have to bear legal responsibility at all, whether it is legally or logically, the guilty are the bastards who force you to duel. ”

"I, I" The girl whimpered and didn't know what to say.

"It hurts!" Accidentally touching the wound on his arm, Jiang Shang frowned, and he carefully wrapped the strap around his fist.

It looks cool to activate the soul technique with a heavy punch, but the overflowing soul power and reaction force make the right hand dripping with blood, and next, there is a hard battle, but you can't let the wound drag your legs.

Looking at Jiang Shang dumbfounded, Si Luer didn't expect this to be the result at all.

"Ha, if you really don't want to go, as compensation for that time, how about inviting me to eat for a month, the expenses have been a bit big recently, and the money is really tight."

"I almost killed you! Are you just confronting your enemies? ”

"Perhaps, you don't believe it, but I have always regarded you as a friend before, as for almost killing me, well, am I not still alive, I forgive you, besides, you yourself are not comfortable."

"Tick, tick" Tears fell drop by drop, and the silent crying Siluer could no longer control the runaway tear valve,

"Okay, okay, I know you're not a daughter now, and you're not well-off, don't cry, a week is enough."

The warm hand touched the top of her head, and the girl was stunned at first, and then cried even louder.

"What am I and I for?"

，

Tears wet her hands, the salty coldness, the louder and louder heartbeat and the trembling arms reminded her of the taste of life.

"Original...... I still want to live. But my sin of killing my brother is ......"

As if knowing what the other party was thinking, Jiang Shang said.

"Siluer, death is terrible, the dead have lost everything, but what they have left behind is the grief of their relatives and friends."

"We have all lost the most important person, and we should know the preciousness of life. If you can't forget your brother, take up his dreams. ”

"Dreams? Brother's dream? ”

Eyes full of tears widened and his memory was blurred only excessive beautification and self-blame, but Siluer couldn't recall Fennell's dream, but Jiang Shang mentioned her.

"Inheritance Chamber of Commerce? Carry forward the family? No, that's a responsibility, not a dream. “

"To die for the glory of the family? Bullshit! Your brother gave up everything just for you! If you just fall and seek death, his life will truly become worthless!"

"Every brother with a lovely sister dreams of his sister being able to live a happy life. Believe me, this is my experience. I'm also a sister! ”

Jiang Shang stretched out his thumb upwards, revealing a look of pride that I am a sister and I am proud, before deliberately being funny, the girl did not appreciate it, tears fell, and she cried louder.

Cover your face and get on your knees.

"Brother....... brother, I miss you ......."

Jiang Shang gently hugged the girl into his arms.

He knew that the girl needed to vent, and it was enough to caress the girl and give her her shoulder as if she were comforting her sister.

The boy laughed, and laughed bitterly, in fact, in this new era when all beings are suffering, he is the same.

"It's really difficult, I can't see the way forward, how far do we have to go to see the sun."

"People often say that like gathers like, isn't your life also a wasted achievement? …… Actually, I'm pretty much the same. No matter how hard life is, people must hold their chests up and live."

The sobbing tears fell, and the trembling delicate body reminded Jiang Shang of his sister who was also young.

In that long night when there were only two people, he also hugged his only relative like this, and used his body temperature to comfort his crying sister.

At this time, like a real brother, the young man stroked the girl's hair, and gentle words sounded in his ears.

"Although you want to take the right path, you don't know when you get covered in mud, and you lose your way when your goal is the East. It's the same with you and me. ”

"The world is difficult, and the light is hard to find, but only by living can there be hope."

"Although I can't get rid of the shackles of the past now, as long as I keep walking, sooner or later, the mud on my body will dry up and fall off.

The sobs turned into whimpering, and the tears wet Jiang Shang's shoulders, but the trembling that seemed to be a small animal stopped.

No matter how many words have become superfluous, it is enough to give her a shoulder to lean on.

"Dad is right, the most powerful thing about a woman is her tears, they are crying like this, and their anger is almost gone."

In fact, Jiang Shang is not a saint, he was almost killed inexplicably, of course he would be angry, but now Si Luer's situation is obviously wrong, if it is not handled properly, I am afraid it will cause lifelong regrets.

As a friend and a brother, he couldn't watch tragedy happen,

“…… For the sake of a stronger heir, in order to continue, the Parik family chose this flesh and blood slaughter to choose an heir. There is no future for those who are distorted by hatred and anger, and how many unfortunate people have become the source of misfortune, this is a chain of hatred!"

"In the final analysis, it still comes from the mainstream of this society, where the weak eat the strong and the fittest survive...... If we want to change, we can only start from the source, such a new era, such a social mainstream in which the strong live and the weak die, must be ended. ”

Silently, the young man's determination was even stronger.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

After a violent emotional outburst, it tends to stabilize and quickly.

The whimpering soon stopped, and he found that he had wet Jiang Shang's shoulders from crying, and Si Luer's face turned red when he brushed it.

After crying, the pent-up feelings were cathartic, but calmed down, and Si Luer stood up while pulling out a tissue to wipe his face.

Thinking about it, trying to calm his mood and tone, Siluer, even in this situation, still hopes to be able to maintain Zuihou's dignity.

"ST Agency, Soul Hedron Ammo Filling System Parikh Chamber of Commerce, that's what you want."

Now, Jiang Shang was dumbfounded.

Thinking that Jiang Shang didn't know, Si Luer sorted it out and explained carefully.

"Winston's Ph.D. from the Ink Research Institute, but the authority of soul dynamics, not long ago, the Hemming City Ink Research Institute where he is located invented this ST mechanism, it is an epoch-making invention."

"Different from the ink products made by imitating soul tools in the past, this ST mechanism combines the ammunition filling system of the past mechanical civilization, when the engine of the mechanical civilization loses its effectiveness, it turns the human body into a new power source, and it can allow ordinary people to exert the power of second- and third-level soul power!"

Seeing Jiang Shang's face full of blankness, Si Luer was a little anxious, she thought that the other party didn't know the significance of this yet.

"Although it is still immature, this is undoubtedly a new research direction, if it is really possible to develop a soul tool that can be used at will by those with low soul ability, human liliang will make great strides. This is the third generation of revolution in soul mechanics, the fifth industrial revolution. ”

"For the Chamber of Commerce, as long as it masters this, it is equivalent to obtaining the key to a new era. This equates to 1000% profit. Even at the risk of raiding your home, it's worth it. ”

No matter how excited Si Luer was, Jiang Shang was still full of blankness,

He just took out a short rod, twisted, flicked, and poured, and a battery-like mechanical device appeared in front of Sluer.

"That's what you're talking about? This is what I invented. ”

This time, when it came to Siluer, he was dumbfounded.
