"Teacher?"

Huai Shi's whole person was numb.

He struggled to get his head from the sofa and looked at the old ghost in front of him: "When did you become my teacher?"

"University is a place to seek knowledge, Huaishi. Time is short! Do you want to spend four years on time?"

The headmaster grinned and looked at the young man on the sofa: "Besides, as a former candidate for the Book of Destiny, a world-famous educator, is there anyone more suitable for this role than me?"

As he spoke, his eyebrows raised slightly: "I have a hunch that we will have a wonderful time in the past four years!"

"It's going to be a wonderful fart!"

Huai Shi was furious: "Have you not learned Chinese well?"

"Oh, I'm a substitute professor of the history of advanced mathematics and philosophy, and an archaeologist—do you want to see my diploma in Tangut language? ”

Huai Shi couldn't help but sneer: "What a coincidence, do you want to see my fifty world-famous school graduation certificates?!"

"But there's no linguistics in it. Russell reminded.

“......”

Huai Shi is stuck.

Although he was tempted to retort that he said that you fart, but when you think about it, it seems to ...... Seem...... Not really?

"Don't think about it, it's really not. ”

Russell whistled, "I sent it to you, I know it too well." ”

"So what the hell are you going to make a fuss?"

Huai Shi was so angry: "Why are you talking so much nonsense, if you want to kill or chop, can't you be happy?"

"It's not that exaggerated. ”

Russell waved his hand, thought for a while, and said seriously: "I just think that I should be responsible for you." ”

"Don't mind, we have no grudges in the past, no enmity in the near future, and it's even the first time we've met, don't be responsible!"

In a state of paralysis, Huaishi's head shook like a rattle.

Scared.

If anyone puts this old Wang Ba in charge, who will really be moldy for eight lifetimes!

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to. ”

Russell hugged the cat and waved his hand generously: "The Ivory Tower is also my own word, if young people have different opinions, they can also put them forward, will I still hate you because you refute my face?"

As he spoke, he looked down at Huai Shi, looking forward to the next reply.

"—wouldn't you?"

Huai Shi rolled her eyes and ignored him completely.

"Then since everyone has no opinion, this matter is settled. ”

So, after a fair and democratic resolution, Russell simply clapped his hands neatly and finalized the solution.

Then, he put away the six machine guns around him that were almost poking at the door of Huaishi's head. picked up the cat in his arms and threw it on Huaishi's body.

Bang.

Huai Shi couldn't move yet, only felt that her stomach was hammered and punched.

His face turned green in an instant.

This cat...... Why is it so heavy?

Lao Wang Ba wants to harm me!

"This is just a gift from the teacher. Russell said with a smile.

"Greeting gift?" Huai Shi struggled hard, propped up her body a little from the sofa, looked at the fat cat in her arms, and frowned: "Just give a cat?

"Speak to it with respect. ”

Russell shook his head and reminded, "It's very cold, and if you provoke it, it might give you some face......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the cat had fallen into Huai Shi's arms with great affection, being stroked by Huai Shi casually, and shaking his little head and rubbing his hand.

After getting up and licking his face twice, the two paws were already happily stepping on Huaishi's belly.

Happy meowing.

"Isn't this very cute, very well-behaved, and easy to rub!"

Huai Shi raised the orange cat with both hands and looked down: "Oh, it's still a big girl...... Where's the cold? By the way, what did you just say?"

Russell's expression suddenly became a little complicated.

recalled the tragic past when his face was scratched several times before, and there was a mouthful of mother who couldn't say it.

And Huai Shi stroked the cat, and her mood finally became a little happier: "What's its name?"

"War and Peace. ”

"What?"

"That's right, it's War and Peace. ”

Russell sighed: "When the ideal kingdom was not yet divided, there were many things that were unwilling to be lonely, such as records that would choose their favorite members of the heavenly lineage, make a contract, and become partners and companions with each other. It's like Lord of the Flies and Orton, Gone with the Wind and Ms. Chasher—"

With Russell's words, the orange cat in Huaishi's hand became a broken book. Even the cover is incomplete, and the contents inside are even more blurry.

"Only half?" said Huai Shi frowned.

"Yes, among the records of salvage and excavation from the wreckage of the kingdom of heaven at that time, it was the most pitiful one—not even a third of what it is now, dying, and after so many years, it has not recovered. Russell sighed, "But now that I'm out of danger, I hope you can return to the way it used to be in your hands." ”

The mutilated book turned into a fat cat again, and its four paws were pulled on Huaishi's body, as if it was afraid that Huaishi would leave it here.

Ling Huaishi was helpless for a while.

Okay, it's just a cat, there is such a big horse in the family, is there still a lack of such a cat meal?

"I hope you don't eat much. ”

Huai Shi rubbed its head and didn't object: "Is there anything to pay attention to?"

Since it is only half a book, it is difficult to stabilize its own nature, and you have to remember this: "It is constantly changing."

It doesn't matter what color it is in its normal state, but when it turns into a black cat, it's a state of war, and when it turns into a white cat, it's a state of peace - however, there is a pattern to this. ”

Russell advised, "Usually every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, it's the 'Code of War', with its own generalized offensive buff, and Two, Four, Six, it's the 'Peace Treaty', which can apply a restorative aura to the group. “

"What about Sunday?" Huai Shi asked.

"On Sunday it's closed. ”

Russell shrugged: "You can't expect a cat to go to work every day, can you?"

Sundays off are ok.

Huai Shi looked at the fat cat in front of him and began to wonder: Is this thing a bit of French blood?

"Alright, don't look at it. ”

Russell waved his hand: "Look at it and go home and look slowly." ”

“......”

Huai Shi was stunned for a long time, scratched her head, and was a little unconvinced: "This is the end?"

"Or else, kill you?"

Russell seemed to be amused and glanced over: "That's really the easiest way, and it'...... I used to want to kill you, Huaishi. ”

That calm look at Huai Shi and his scalp tingled for a while.

I couldn't help but move back a little.

But Russell paused and shook his head self-deprecatingly: "But even if I kill you, it's useless, isn't it?"

When the Ideal Kingdom was still there, I had been working hard since I was fourteen years old to be able to become its recorder, and I dreamed that that day would come.

Even after the fall of Heaven, I never gave up searching. But until now, it has not chosen me. “

He said, "I've already lost." ”

"Now that those glorious times have passed, why should I cling to the little joy of the past?"

"If it had been 40 years earlier, I might have thought about how to rebuild the ideal country, pick up the pieces, and restore the old outlook.

But now I don't have that much energy, and even if I don't have time, all I can think about every day is how to build the world's largest swimsuit park in the Ivory Tower, where hot girls in bikinis laugh and run in the sun twenty-four hours a day.

When I die of old age on a beach chair, there will be many big-breasted schoolgirls wiping tears from their idols...... How wonderful. Why waste your last life on meaningless things?"

The old man turned his head, stared at Huai Shi, and calmly told him, "That's all the problems you should face, isn't it?"

Huai Shi was silent and could not answer.

In all fairness, Huai Shi himself knew how ridiculous his existence was to Russell. And how huge and painful Russell's efforts in this regard were.

But the ideal country was shattered after all, and just maintaining the ivory tower to continue was about to exhaust the time and effort of his life.

Even Huai Shi himself felt that even if he spent his whole life, he might not be able to clean up the messes and problems represented by the Book of Destiny.

Not to mention the rebuilding of that glorious ideal country.

He could relate to Russell's confusion.

As early as the beginning, Huai Shi once felt fear and jealousy for the existence of the Book of Destiny, and couldn't wait to get rid of this mission that was too dangerous and too heavy.

But with the subsequent experience, his thoughts gradually changed.

And until the countless cycles and trials in the Vientiane Heavenly Sphere, even if there is no detailed memory remaining, Huai Shi gradually no longer contradicts the meaning it represents.

Just after Russell revealed the biggest secret of Huaishi, the owner of the Tower of Ivory, the real old crowned person, what he wanted was not to hand over the Book of Destiny, but to break the net.

The moment he knew it, he suddenly realized that the Book of Destiny had become an indispensable part of his life.

It is no longer separable.

"Looks like you've figured something out. ”

Russell chuckled softly: "It's always a good thing to have some understanding, and I hope you can continue to maintain this determination in the future." ”

With his words, the elevator that left opened again behind Huai Shi.

But Huai Shi didn't move.

After a moment's hesitation, he suddenly asked, "Don't you want to see it?"

For a moment, Russell's shoulders trembled slightly.

The old man turned his back to him, and he didn't look back after all.

"Nope. He said, "Still don't have to......

As he spoke, Russell raised his head and looked up at the illusory projection above the heavenly dome, "I can see it here every day, nothing strange - did you see it today, Huaishi?"

"Hmm. "Huai Shi bowed his head.

"Very well, you should go, Huaishi. He waved his hand, "Rookie teachers aren't qualified to stay here for too long. I want to watch it a little longer, so I won't send it to you. ”

Before leaving, Huai Shi glanced back at the lonely back under the complicated matrix for the last time, and didn't say anything more.

The elevator doors slammed shut.
