In an instant, an abrupt dead silence came.

In the long silence, Huai Shi finally realized what he had said.

Immediately froze in place, in shock.

He's really trying to be shocked, or at least show that he's really shocked. But when he looked back, he saw a smiling face, behind him, staring at him.

and beside him, countless beastly eyes.

It was a terrifying scale that was incomparable to the type and number of beasts that Huai Shi knew of, and countless beasts hid in that shadow, forming a tidal wave, suddenly erupting, covering everything.

And in the sea, in the mountains, and in the bushes of tigers and wolves, there was an old man in a black suit. His white hair reached waist-length, and he was holding a cane in his hand, and he was carefully studying Huai Shi's appearance and smiling.

"Why be surprised, Huaishi. ”

The headmaster, who finally showed his true face, asked softly, "Really...... Isn't it on you?"

So, hundreds of millions of beasts lowered their eyes, exhausted all the hideousness in the world, and looked at Huai Shi.

Huai Shi was shocked.

This time, his shock was finally real.

The mind was empty, just a buzz. As the biggest secret in his heart was revealed, his eyes suddenly went black, and he could barely stand on his feet.

Out of breath.

He opened his mouth with difficulty, trying to speak in the midst of the hints of countless beasts, but countless thoughts came to his mind, stirred together by fear, panic, and shock, and it turned into a mess.

can only subconsciously issue a stunned question:

"-What are you talking about, old Wangba!"

......

In this way, after holding back Huai Shi for a month, this old Wang Ba finally shouted out.

Albeit at the most inopportune time.

But after this old Wang Ba scolded, Huai Shi felt incredibly refreshed and calmed down again.

In the silence, the phantoms of countless beasts had dissipated at some point.

Only the two looked at each other.

The principal looked at Huai Shi's face suspiciously, as if he was unsure.

“...... Hmm? Am I mistaken?"

He was stunned for a long time, and then laughed embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I scared your face white." ”

Huai Shi was silent for a long time, her expression twitched, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't make this kind of joke, principal, it will scare people to death." ”

"No, no. ”

The headmaster's smile warmed up again, and he patted him on the shoulder, "Let's put the knife down first-"

It's like seeing the sacrificial knife that quietly emerges in the right hand behind Huai Shi.

He scratched his gray hair and asked curiously:

"-Also, why are you scolding me Lao Wangba?"

Huai poem: "......"

Principal: "......"

The awkward silence returned.

It wasn't until a long time later that Huai Shi coughed twice and asked, "Can we change the subject?"

“......”

After a brief moment of silence, the headmaster couldn't help but shake his head, his cane tapping on the ground.

In an instant, the sofa that had just been sent back to Huai Shi's house came back here again, and appeared behind Huai Shi's ass.

It even came with the tea on the table.

"Okay, you sit down first, take a sip of tea, and talk slowly. ”

The old man shook his head helplessly, sat down first, took a sip of his teacup, and couldn't help but sigh: "If you want me to say, young people are just not scared, when the ideal civil strife was ideal, someone told me that half of the people fell into the abyss, I didn't even curse my eyebrows, the quality of this generation of guardians of the kingdom of heaven is really not good." ”

Even if he had already sat down, even if the principal hadn't suddenly pinched himself to death for a while, Huai Shi was still nervous in her heart.

I don't know where I'm exposed.

I don't know where the crow is dead now, why didn't he run away with him.

He can only try to stall for time:

“...... How do you know?"

The headmaster was still calm, just glanced at him, and shook his head: "If before this, the only person in the world who knows that the Book of Destiny here is a fake can't guess the anomaly that happened to you, then there must be something wrong with this world." ”

Huai Shi was silent.

"You guessed it right, the Book of Destiny here is a fake. ”

The headmaster turned his head and glanced at the illusory projection in the countless matrices behind him, and with a slight wave of his hand, the silhouette disappeared without a trace: "Decades ago, when the kingdom of heaven fell, I didn't find the shadow of the Book of Destiny...... From that time on, I made a fake one and put it here to tell everyone that the Book of Destiny was in the collection of the Ivory Tower, and it was very safe. ”

He sighed softly, "Since then, I've been looking for the Book of Destiny, Huaishi. ”

"How did you find me?" asked Huai Shi.

"It's not that difficult, in fact, as long as it has the purpose of 'where is the book of destiny?', it's as simple as waiting for a rabbit. ”

The headmaster laughed and looked at the teenager in front of him: "About a year ago, I first felt the existence of the Book of Destiny, and the feedback at that time was very short, only for a moment. ”

A year ago.

Huai Shi frowned, that seemed to ...... It's time to sublimate yourself?

"At that time, that day, in those two hours, there were ninety-seven thousand one hundred and forty-one noteworthy things happening in the whole world.

Among them is that Green Sun attacked Shinkai, and it was an unknown teenager who awakened his soul. ”

The principal put down the teacup and stared at the young man in front of him with a solemn expression: "Since that day, your life has become completely different, hasn't it?"

“......”

After a short silence, Huai Shi shook her head and couldn't help but sigh:

"Earlier than that. ”

This time, it was the principal who was stunned and was silent for a long time

"What's wrong?" Huai Shi was puzzled.

"No, I'm only now reacting. ”

On the couch, the old man suddenly leaned back, as if relieved, scratched his gray hair, and finally determined this reality:

"It turns out that the book of destiny is really on you. ”

The corners of Huai Shi's eyes twitched wildly, restrained her anger, and glared at him:

“...... So you're all lying to me before!"

"Isn't that possible?"

The headmaster smirked, "I just planned to give it a try...... Just give it a try......"

“......”

Huai Shi shut up, and finally understood the rank gap between himself and the old Wang Ba in front of him, and he didn't plan to say anything after that.

He's strong, he's strong, and I'm cool anyway.

Anyway, the crow is still hiding in the basement, and if she finds something wrong, she can take it with her immediately—wait, she can't be sold by her, right?

Huai Shi was shocked again, and her heart was cold.

- This black-hearted woman is finally going to hurt me!

"Don't be afraid, this is the true heart of the Ivory Tower. The headmaster seemed to have misunderstood something, and comforted him: "Whether it's the Command Bureau or the Survival Academy, the Great Secret Instrument can't detect what's going on here-"

He paused, and his expression became eerie: "In other words, no matter what happens, the outside will not know." ”

"So what?"

Huai Shi indifferently pulled out the sword of virtue, put it on his knees, and straightened up: "Headmaster, do you think I will give up resisting?"

"Give up, Huaishi. ”

The old man shook his head: "Without that gun, you have no chance of winning." ”

"Even if it's a death struggle, it's better than sitting still, right?"

Huai Shi said coldly: "Headmaster, you can let the horse come over and see if I will be caught with my hands tied—before I die, let me understand the gap between myself and the old fifth-order sublimator, so that I can die frankly." ”

"Therefore, young people always have the habit of fighting and killing, which is really unbelievable. ”

The headmaster sighed helplessly, raised his hand, and the scepter in his hand turned into a fat cat, jumped into his arms, and purred under his tickling.

"I was expecting you to come here and we would be able to be honest with each other," he said.

I am one hundred and twelve years old, Huai Shi, the survivors of the former ideal country, and the youngest person who can live to the present is also in his nineties.

What can people like us, even if they get the Book of Destiny, do? an ideal country that has long been devastated, an empty kingdom of heaven, a broken book that gives me nothing but a meaningless identity?

It chose you, Huaishi, then it is yours. As if we didn't want to take Orton's legacy, you don't have to worry about what I'm going to do to you.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to bring you here. There are countless places in the Ivory Tower that are better for killing and hiding corpses, and there are countless excuses that can make you disappear in a reasonable way. ”

Huai Shi was amused, and asked, "So, now that I am lying on the chopping board, I have not been killed, but should I be grateful to you, principal? You forced me here with fifty diplomas, just to tell me this?"

"Very good, Huaishi, I feel that you are beginning to confess. ”

The headmaster raised his eyes, looked at his grim face, and couldn't help but smile: "I'm starting to know the real you, as if you've seen the real me." ”

"First meeting, Huaishi. ”

He said, "I am the Headmaster of the Ivory Tower, the former Preparatory Recorder of the Kingdom of Heaven, and one of the candidates for the Book of Destiny before the fall of the Kingdom of Heaven. ”

The white-haired waist-length old man introduced himself and stretched out his right hand to Huai Shi:

"—My name is Russell. ”

Huai Shi looked at him in astonishment, looked at the hand that was sent to him, hesitated for a long time, and reached out to shake it.

Then I heard only a snap.

I felt it dark.

It seems to have touched a high-voltage electric door.

I couldn't help but twitch on the sofa, my hair was blackened by electricity, and I couldn't move.

After a long time, Huai Shi finally reacted, gasping sluggishly, and raised his head to look at the old man with a wicked smile.

"You don't think you said that I forgot about the old Wang Ba, right?"

In front of his eyes, Russell hugged the cat and squinted at his embarrassed appearance, "This is the first thing I taught you as your teacher, boy." ”

He paused, smiling gloatingly:

"- The leader lied to you if you were not angry. ”
