“...... Neanderthal...... The legacy left behind?" Jiang Xiao looked at Ochre Yu incredulously: "What you said mean that they lived 100,000 years ago, that group of primitive people?

"I'm sorry, I really don't know. Ochre shook her head: "But according to legend, as long as you can get the seed, you can get the power of Neanderthals." I mean...... The power of a real, pure-blooded Neanderthals! a completely different level of power from the current Awakened!"

"Strength?" Jiang Xiao laughed mockingly: "In this era, what is the value of power?"

He stretched out his hand, pointed to the campus, and whispered, "If you are an ordinary person, you may not be satisfied with your life. But what I don't understand is that as an awakened person, a person with special abilities, what else can't be obtained? Even a newcomer like me, who has not yet fully awakened in the mouth of purple smoke, has easily obtained enough to live a very comfortable life with his own ability. I don't believe this is any difficulty for you, for Dark Flame, or for any true Awakened One!"

"I don't understand, I really don't understand! We can easily get everything we want! Money, beautiful women, good food and wine, comfortable accommodation, whether it is righteous or bright or within the limits of the law, you ...... Or that our strength far exceeds what is needed to accomplish all this! So, tell me, Ochre, what is the purpose of chasing higher power?"

"Do you ask me?" Ochre Yu smiled and shook her head: "I'm not Dark Flame, how can I know the answer to this question?"

"Yes...... Jiang Xiao nodded and sighed: "You don't know either...... But I can't ask Darkfire. He set up an ambush, killed Ziyan, and ...... I almost killed me with me! I'm not even from your academy! I have nothing to do with you and that damn seed!"

"Dark Flame...... How exactly did you kill Purple Smoke? Tell me all the details. Ochre nodded and asked.

Jiang Xiao sighed and told Zhen Yu everything that happened last night, and only omitted the move to Bitan Mountain because of Lao Hua's sentence. After all, even Jiang Xiao himself is now unsure whether he was under Lao Hua's psychological hints at that time.

After Jiang Xiao finished speaking, he smiled bitterly: "Originally, I didn't have any ill feelings towards your academy. But now...... I just want to stay as far away from you as possible, and don't mess with my life again. I don't think all the Neanderthal Awakened people in this world have a relationship with the Academy. ”

"That's true. Not only that, but ......" Ochre Yu was halfway through his words, but he paused and changed his words: "I can understand your dissatisfaction, after all, Dark Yan is also the deacon of the academy no matter what. For what he did, the college must also bear a certain responsibility. I can promise you in the name of the Academy's Inspector that once it is confirmed that Purple Smoke died at the hands of Dark Flame, I will definitely take his life. ”

"When?" Jiang Xiao smiled: "Deacon...... Ombudsman...... I don't know the meaning of your internal position, but with so many names, it seems that your organization is very large and bloated. If it takes you half a year to investigate, wouldn't I have to live like this for half a year?"

"How is that possible. Zheyu also laughed: "Three days." Just three days, and I'll definitely give you a result. After that, you can go back to your original life. ”

"And, I won't have any contact with you again?" Jiang Xiao asked.

"This ...... I can't guarantee that. Zheyu smiled and shook his head: "After all, I am just an inspector, and above me, there is the existence of the dean." But what I can promise is that no one will force you to join the Academy. ”

"Okay. At least, I like people who don't talk big. Jiang Xiao smiled and stretched out his hand to Zheyu: "Then, I can tell you Ziyan's last words." The map of the seed's location was hidden by her in the No. 15 computer in the computer room of Prosperity Middle School on Hanzhong Road. But she added, I want you to judge for yourself whether to leave it to the dean. ”

"I see. Zhe Yu also stretched out his hand, held Jiang Xiao's hand and shook it: "Ziyan is really always so cautious, I will arrange someone as soon as possible...... No, I went and retrieved the map myself. ”

"It's not about me anymore, but I'd like to ask more. Jiang Xiao stared at Ochre Yu's face: "Ziyan found the location information of that seed, but she never went to find it herself, nor did she hand it over to your dean, she must have her own reasons." Now that she's dead, you and I don't know what her original reason was. So you ...... What are you going to do when you get that map?"

"What are we ......" Zheyu pushed her glasses, seemed to hesitate a little, and did not answer immediately.

"So, let's change the question. Jiang Xiao looked at Ochre Yu: "What is the meaning of the existence of the organization of the academy?"

"Discover the 'truth of history'. This time, Ochre replied without any hesitation: "Why did the ancient Neanderthals have extraordinary abilities, why did they die due to the loss of fertility, and why did the bloodline that passed down in our bodies awaken today...... The 'truth' that has been obscured by the fog of the long years is what we want. ”

"No wonder, your organization has been named 'Academy'. Jiang Xiao nodded: "Then I think you will probably give this map to your dean." After all, if the seed really exists, if it is really a legacy of ancient Neanderthals, then it is also likely to contain that history. ”

"That's right. But if you believe me, please trust our dean as well. Ochre laughed: "He is the wisest, most rational, and most peaceful and desireless person I have ever met. And his abilities are the most powerful of all the Awakened I know. At least I believe that the Dean will never pursue any more personal power. ”

"I ...... I can't fully trust you, but I agree with your logic. Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and nodded: "If your dean is already standing at the top of all the awakened, then he really has no reason to continue to pursue any ethereal power." ”

"Jiang Xiao, you are a smart person. A rare smart person. Zheyu smiled: "I really hope that in this world, there are more smart people like you, the better." But alas, at least he wasn't. ”

"Yes. It's a pity he's not. Otherwise, Ziyan wouldn't have to die. Jiang Xiao sighed regretfully: "Then, what I should let you know, I have told you everything, and I should also leave." ”

"You...... Where to go?"

"Hide, of course. Jiang Xiao smiled: "Who do you think Dark Yan wants to find the most now?"

"Good. Then I won't ask you where you're going. Remember my promise, three days. After three days, you'll be back to your old life. ”

"Good. Well, goodbye. Thank you, Ochre. Jiang Xiao said goodbye to Zheyu, turned around and walked in the direction of the school gate.

Looking at Jiang Xiao's departing back, Zheyu pushed his glasses again until he watched his figure disappear into the crowd in the distance.

"Dark Flame, Dark Flame...... Turns out you want to get ...... too The power of seeds?"

"But...... Is it possible for something so important to be obtained by an idiot like you?"

"You're really, so stupid. It's a pity that in this world, only smart people can win the final victory. ”

......

Jiang Xiao naturally did not return to his original location, but changed to another bathing center to live.

Lying on the sofa bed in the rest room, looking straight at the ceiling of the roof, Jiang Xiao suddenly felt a huge tiredness hit him.

Can Ochre be trusted? He didn't know. But he now has no other choice.

Even if he didn't tell Ochre Yu everything, what could Jiang Xiao do? If he didn't reveal Ziyan's death to the academy, then Dark Yan would be able to continue to mobilize the energy within the academy that could be used for him to hunt him down to death.

And only by conveying Dark Yan's traitor identity to the academy can it be possible to let Jiang Xiao return to his original life after executing Dark Flame within the academy. And the only contact information left by Ziyan at that time was ochre.

In fact, Jiang Xiao had almost no understanding of the academy. No matter who the contact information left by Ziyan is and how many, Jiang Xiao will be the same, he can't believe it, but he has no choice.

In Fang Cai's conversation, Jiang Xiao also kept observing, judging Ochre Yu's expression, tone, and logic inside and outside the words. As long as there was the slightest suspicion in him, Jiang Xiao would immediately flee in an instant—regardless of whether he could really escape in the end.

But fortunately, Ochre didn't show anything wrong from beginning to end. So in the end, Jiang Xiao still pressed the chips down.

As for the final result, whether it is big or small is no longer something that Jiang Xiao can control.

After three days, leave it to fate.

Jiang Xiao smiled at himself helplessly, and gradually fell asleep.
