Chapter 17. First Release
Chapter: 4129 Words
The teacher was explaining a difficult problem on the podium. Everyone was focused on the blackboard and listening to her analysis, including me.
"Mu Jifeng, can you tell me how to solve this problem using reverse reasoning?”The teacher asked. I stood up. Although this kind of question was a little difficult, it wasn't to the extent that it would take me a lot of effort. I explained my thoughts.
"You're not being reasonable!”Masaharu retorted," That's right. There aren't enough conditions to prove it.”Tom chimed in as well. My classmates were arguing with each other. I looked at them coldly. Ember shook his head helplessly. These people were really stupid to the extreme. They were hopeless.
"Mu Jifeng, which book did you read about what you did just now?”the teacher asked as he adjusted his glasses.
"I analyzed it myself.”I forcefully said these words. "No way, Mu Jifeng, this is a very profound method. Only those mathematicians and great professors would use this calculation method. Do you think you're a genius?”There was a hint of sarcasm in her words." The reason why I asked you to answer the questions just now was because you weren't paying attention in class. The students were all paying attention in class, but you were in a daze. You didn't master the method we explained before, but you brought up some other method to brush me off…"
What was that? I was clearly listening to the class seriously, but she was a little angry. Jin's hand pulled me from below, indicating for me to calm down. "Come to my office after class.”She glared at me, but I ignored her and sat down to continue listening.
After class, I went to her office alone. She called me to her desk."Mu Jifeng, what happened to you in the last month? You were always distracted. You used to be a very hardworking student, what's going on now?”She pushed her glasses up." What were you thinking about in class just now?”
"I'm in class," I sneered. She slammed the table. I've clearly been watching you for a long time, and your gaze has always been outside the window!”
What was going on? I was clearly paying attention to the blackboard.
"Go back and think about it carefully. If I find out that you're not paying attention to class next time, you'll bear the consequences. Go back to class!" I turned around and walked to the door. She added,"If you can't get into the top five of the whole grade in this semester, I'll punish you.”I ignored her, closed the door, and returned to the classroom.
Returning to his seat in the classroom, Ember turned around and asked me,""Aren't you always very focused in class? What did she say…" "How would I know?" I tidied up the mountain of books on the table.
His phone rang. It was a text message." Tonight at 7:30, we'll be waiting for you at the south intersection."”It was signed by Yi Yun. I showed the message to Jin. "They want us to discuss the matter of the ghost talisman?”Jin asked," It should be." I put away my phone.
During the self-study period, I was doing my homework when my deskmate, Ming Xiangzi, whispered to me,"Kaede, are you free tomorrow night?" I stopped writing.”She lowered her head and said with a red face,"I want to invite you to watch a movie with me."”
I was stunned. A girl is treating me to a movie? I couldn't say a word for a long time. She stole a glance at me."Does that mean you agree? " Hehe…" She smiled shyly and buried her head in her homework.
You have to know that I'm usually very quiet and don't interact much with others. My relationship with my classmates isn't very good either. At least, I don't have many friends. Other than Jin and Jin Hehao, who are my confidants and interact more with me, only this deskmate is very friendly to me. But we don't usually talk much, but today she invited me to watch a movie…
Ember seemed to have heard this and turned his head to smile at me.
After school in the afternoon, Ember put his arm around my shoulder." Feng, you have someone who likes you, right…" I pushed him."Are you kidding me? Is that possible? Besides, I've already…"She swallowed her words back. "Already what? Do you have someone you like?" Jin smiled and let me continue. I punched him."Alright, let's go. Let's go eat something first and then look for Yi Yun and the others.”
We went to a fast food restaurant, ordered some food, and sat in a corner to eat. "Kaede, actually, Akira has liked you for a long time, really.”Jin said as he chewed on the drumstick. His expression and tone no longer sounded like he was joking.
"How did you know?" " I asked." Jin took a sip of fruit juice." She told me secretly before, but she never dared to tell you. So, he could only tell his good brother that he was quite lucky this time.”
I didn't say anything. I lowered my head and ate the pizza. "To be honest, I think that this girl, Ming Xiang, is really not bad.”Jin said," She's really kind and caring. She's also very beautiful. Don't you think so?”
I shook my head." How can a girl like me? Not to mention a girl with such good conditions. I'll believe you if you say she likes you. After all, our Young Master Xiao is a handsome and talented man. He's not like me, who always puts on a straight face and pretends to be deep.”I joked. It had been a long time since he had joked like this. It felt like he had returned to the carefree times a few years ago.
After eating, we walked to the south road. The road was full of traffic and lights. When we reached the south intersection, we waited under a building. Looking at the watch, it was 7:20.
There was a huge poster hanging on the building opposite. It was a foreign horror film that had just been released. The ferocious and terrifying faces covered the building, adding to the gloomy atmosphere.
Red liquid flowed out of his hollow eyes, and his pale face was expressionless.”Jin slapped me awake." It's just a poster. Is there a need to be so engrossed in it?”"Isn't that a poster for a romance movie?"”I looked up and saw that the poster was actually a poster for a romance movie! I shivered. This scene was too ridiculous.
"Kaede, look at the person opposite you." I followed the direction pointed by Ember and saw a tall and slender man standing across the street. It was Yi Yun. We immediately ran across the road.
"Why are you looking for us today?" I asked him. Yi Yun straightened her clothes."Let me introduce you to the other two companions. Let's go." Ember and I followed him into the building.
He took the elevator to the 83rd floor. When he walked out of the elevator, he saw a huge door. It looked a little old, like it was made of bronze or some other metal. Yi Yun walked to the door and took out a marble key. She turned it three times to the left and the door slowly opened.
It was a little dark inside, filled with crystal blue and ruby red light. Some of the intersection of the two lights even had violet light. Jin and I followed behind Yi Yun and walked to a huge pedestal. There was a layer of gauze in front of us, and we could vaguely see a figure inside. Frank and Ichigo sat on the left and right of the platform.
The person sitting under the veil said,"As expected of experts with potential, Mu Ruofeng and Xiao Tianjin.”Yi Yun said to us," This is Zhi Fan. He was injured in an accident and was paralyzed, so it's inconvenient for him to move. However, he is a very intelligent person.
Zhi Fan pulled open his veil, and we saw his face clearly. Although this person was not good-looking and was short, there was a light of wisdom in his eyes, as if it could penetrate all suspense.
"Have a seat." Frank brought us two stools and we sat down. Ichigo said to a figure in the dark,"Ming Dianfei, bring that book over.”As he spoke, a handsome young man walked out of the darkness with an ancient book in his hand.
"This is Ming Dianfei." Yi Yun introduced," These two are Mu Ruofeng and Xiao Tianjin.”He smiled and nodded at us. We could see that Yi Yun and the others were very honest and friendly people. We all treated each other as true friends.
As we sat together, Zhi Fan began to say,"" I've called the two of you here today to discuss the matter of curses. "As he spoke, he took out the ancient book in Ming Dianfei's hand."You guys should be familiar with this book, right?”When we looked closely, it was exactly the same as the ancient book that the old man gave us, but it was not as dilapidated.
"I still don't understand this book. If I translate it and analyze it according to normal logic, I don't have a clue at all.”I said. Yi Yun smiled and said,"This book needs to be understood in reverse."”I thought about it, but I still felt that something was wrong."No, this explanation still doesn't make sense.”
Ichigo said," Yi Yun's meaning isn't completely understood in reverse, but there is a code of reverse reasoning. You must follow this code to find the order of understanding.”
"Passcode?" Ember and I asked at the same time. "That's right. This is also the first bottleneck in our research of curses.”Zhifan said.
"We've been looking for the password, but it's not recorded. We need to analyze it ourselves.”Ming Dianfei said. I twirled the ring on my left ring finger and thought about these questions. What would the password have to do with?
Zhi Fan flipped through the ancient book and said,"At present, we have an accurate understanding of the cause of the curse."”"What is the cause of the curse?" I asked.”Zhi Fan continued to tell us," From the ancient times of mankind to the era of society, all kinds of ugliness of human nature have been shown. This can be reflected in many historical events. From minor disputes to major wars, wanton destruction and plundering of nature were enough to cause humans to destroy themselves and the entire existing ecological environment. However, humans were still obstinate and depraved. As for the origin of the fall of humanity, thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the prophet predicted this and recorded the language, which evolved into a curse…"
Actually, I had thought about what he said a long time ago. I just didn't expect that it was actually related to the curse. "What kind of power does that curse contain?”I asked. Ichigo shook his head." I don't know. It's not just us. I don't think anyone knows more about the curse. For thousands of years, no one had been able to study the curse, let alone find it.”Frank continued," Actually, the origin is just a very, very small point. But no one knows what exactly it evolved into. The predecessor of the curse may be an even more terrifying power.”
Jin took the ancient book and flipped through a few pages."Other than that, does the curse have anything to do with space?”"At least we think so. It should be related to space." Yi Yun nodded.”
"I feel that there is at least another parallel space-time in the universe.”Jin said. " I think so too, but finding this space and those civilizations that disappeared will not be easy.”I added.
" That's right. We all believe that there are other space-times, so we're currently studying the theory of relativity and exploring things beyond the universe.”Yi Yun said.
Space? Ember and I have been researching this problem for almost three years, but we haven't made any major breakthroughs. There are many problems that we can't start with, and we can't think logically. There was always a contradiction between the broad sense and the narrow sense.
"What do you two think is 'relative'?”Zhi Fan asked, Jin thought for a moment and said,"There is no absolute, only relative." All things were mutually reinforcing and countering each other. The cycle of reincarnation revolved, and Yin and Yang fused. Matter would always maintain the law of conservation and would not completely disappear or be reborn.”
I continued,"There's still the relative of human nature?"”" Well…" Zhi Fan pondered," Everyone has two sides, one is righteous and the other is evil; One side was brave and the other was weak, one side was bright and the other side was dark. One side is happy, one side is sad, one side is extreme, and one side is negative. We can't find ourselves in that state, even ignoring who we are.”Ming Dianfei continued," We always play various roles in life, but we are too tired of these unreal selves.”
We talked about the ghost talisman and the black sun, and briefly talked about our future arrangements. At 10:30, Frank drove us back.
The city was still brightly lit at night. Frank suddenly asked me,"Is there a girl named Akiko in your school?"”
I was surprised. Why would he mention this girl?"That's right. He's in our class. We're even deskmates.”He said,"Her brother, Immortal Dao, is a high-ranking official in the Black Sun."”
"What?!" Ember and I were shocked. "However, she doesn't know her brother's identity. The Immortal Dao currently has your information and should be using his sister to deal with you. Contact us immediately if anything happens." Frank reminded.
I couldn't believe the sudden news.
Frank dropped us off at a junction. We got out of the car and walked back together. "The elder brother of the famous Fragrance Sickle is actually a member of the Black Sun?”" But no matter what, she is innocent. She doesn't know anything about this. It's just that the Immortal Dao used her pure love for you."”
I combed my long hair back and looked up at the dark sky. "Kaede, what do you think we should do about this?”Ember asked me. "Since someone is using us, we can follow the clues.”I said. "But we have to promise not to hurt Akira.”
" Of course, she's innocent," Jin added." I can't bear to see such a good girl get hurt."”
The two of them walked in the darkness…
