MTL - The Old Gods Are Whispering-Chapter 389 The President's Secret, the Origin of Everything
Chapter 389 The secret of the president, the origin of everything
Gu Jianlin was ready to be questioned by Xingshi, but he didn't expect to be asked this kind of question.
He unconsciously picked up the tea set on the table and played with it, and his thoughts drifted to the sea of immortality many days ago. That beautiful dream was not an illusion, but something that actually happened at the soul level.
Ever since he stepped into the extraordinary world, he has been wandering on the edge of life and death. He has never been able to ensure his own safety, so he will not consider emotional issues and repeat the mistakes of his father. It's just that I didn't expect that after going through so many things, I still incurred a love debt.
Yue Ji is force majeure, that is the person who accompanied him before he stepped into the extraordinary world.
Accompanying him like a shadow for so many years, it is impossible to say that he has no feelings.
As for Lei Ting, he was originally a close comrade in arms.
Everyone had an agreement to hand over their lives to each other, but they were cheated.
It would be embarrassing to meet again now.
It's all Xu Fu's fault.
"I know you have learned from your father's lesson. You are afraid that the girl you like will become a widow for you after you die? I don't think you need to worry about this problem. The future of this world is entrusted to a few young people. If If these people die, then mankind will undoubtedly be subverted in the catastrophe of the doomsday."
Ji Zhou glanced at him and said lightly, "And you happen to be one of them."
Gu Jianlin's hand holding the teacup trembled like an electric shock, he didn't expect that he was so important.
After thinking about it, it seems to be the same, he is now the only amphibian.
If it has no impact on the future of the world, it is nonsense.
"The world will be destroyed, and your girls will be no exception, so you have to be correct. Life is too short to enjoy yourself. Tell her what you like, do what you want, and if there is something Hurry up whoever you want to kill, don't wait for your enemy to die of old age."
When Ji Zhou said these words, a rare flash of nostalgia flashed in Weiyi's indifferent eyes, and the sunlight outside the window reflected in the depths of her pupils, as if illuminating the old days buried deep in her memory.
Four hundred years of time passed in her pupils, her voice was so majestic and serious, and her tone was as contemptuous and arrogant as ever, but it sounded like the loneliness of time passing by.
People can't help but move their hearts.
Gu Jianlin was slightly taken aback as he savored these words carefully.
"You haven't thought about this because you've never lived for yourself."
Ji Zhou looked at him deeply: "You haven't answered my question yet."
Gu Jianlin held back for a long time, but didn't know how to answer: "Is... is she okay?"
Ji Zhou sneered: "Looking at how promising you are, what happened has happened. As a boy, you have indeed been taken advantage of. Regardless of her talent and status, at least she is still very beautiful. But if you only look at her On the contrary, she took advantage of you, and she couldn't survive without your blood."
Gu Jianlin said quietly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Don't you know that in the extraordinary world, the spiritual union is often more significant than the real union? In ancient times, once the souls merged, it was considered a lifetime, at least in our time. This tradition Even today, it hasn’t changed.”
Ji Zhou said earnestly: "That's why I asked you if you enjoy it? If your soul fusion is smooth, it proves that you have already developed feelings for each other, otherwise it will not be so smooth."
Gu Jianlin felt that his expression looked like a clown.
"Looking at your expression, I know exactly what's going on."
Ji Zhou's expression was calm, and he continued to give the critical attack: "No wonder Lei Ting came back from the sea of eternal life, so she determined to recognize you, even if she thought you were dead, she would give you a widow."
Venerable Qilin was killed.
At this moment, Gu Jianlin really hoped that this senior was fooling himself. Unfortunately, as a proficient profiler, he could tell at a glance whether someone close to him was lying to him.
Senior Ji didn't lie to him, there must be such a rule in the extraordinary world.
How could it be like this, the friendship in battle is really going to deteriorate now.
It was already awkward the next time we met.
After knowing this, it was even more embarrassing.
Gu Jianlin put his hand on his forehead, feeling a little headache.
"Even if you don't realize it yourself, you do have feelings for her. It's not surprising. She is talented and beautiful, but she has a cold personality, but she only looks at you differently. Anyone who meets her will like her. You are not a stone." The heart is just relatively slow in this regard."
Ji Zhou asked softly, "Are you going to accept her?"
Gu Jianlin's scalp was numb, and he said weakly, "It's okay for you to ask me to fight with others. I really don't know how to talk about love. If anyone wants to harm her, of course I will kill him. I will try my best to help her get what she wants. I hope she can live a safe and happy life."
Ji Zhou's lips curled into a smile: "Isn't that enough?"
Gu Jianlin was taken aback for a moment.
"Peace and joy are mostly a luxury."
Looking at the cherry blossoms in the courtyard, Ji Zhou said with emotion: "Being together does not mean having children every day. It is also a good way to get along together on the same road. For Lei Ting, her kind of The level of existence is not as good as yours, but it is already the only anomaly in human history."
Gu Jianlin's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Senior Ji really understood.
His specialness really cannot be concealed from these quasi-exclusive powerhouses.
"Today's Thunder must follow the path of the president. She must grasp the greatest power and power in the world in order to ensure her own safety. What will happen to a noble young lioness wandering outside?"
Ji Zhou glanced at him.
"Probably besieged to death by greedy hyenas?"
Gu Jianlin said softly.
The existence of Lei Ting is already a different kind. If she cannot become the leader of the world of order, then her existence will become a threat, and some people will even want to take away her power and cultivate the next her.
The next Ruler of Order will not allow her existence.
No matter where she hides, someone will come to her door, and there will never be peace.
Thinking of this, Gu Jianlin's eyes became cold and hard.
"Thunder has no way out."
Ji Zhou laughed at himself and said: "This is also the incompetence of us elders. We can't live to the day when the catastrophe comes, so we can only place all bets on you children."
The old man Si tremblingly served the fragrant Qingxin tea, turned and left respectfully.
Ji Zhou took a sip of tea and said softly, "I'm sorry."
Gu Jianlin raised his eyes and asked seriously, "What are you apologizing for?"
Ji Zhou said lightly: "Don't you know what happened to Lei Ting? This is the person chosen by the president. As the price of living, she must bear the burden of this world. The Ether Association did something to a little girl. Such a cruel and inhumane experiment is really unworthy."
Gu Jianlin silently stared at her side face. This majestic and glamorous woman didn't seem to be so majestic in the sun. Even though she was so beautiful, there was a sense of lateness.
It is the exhaustion and sadness precipitated by time, which is as mellow as the fragrance of tea, and makes people feel inexplicably sad.
"If this is the case, you don't have to apologize, but we want to thank you."
Gu Jianlin said seriously: "Especially the president."
Ji Zhou glanced at him in surprise.
"I was really ignorant before, and I always thought that the big men didn't do anything, but the fact is that you have carried too much in the dark. It is obvious that the monks did the evil, but you have to bear it on yourself."
Gu Jianlin calmly said: "Frieda's schizophrenia syndrome is not a natural disease, but a man-made experimental sequelae. Thunder's problem is not born, but man-made. The inner part of the ether association has been infiltrated Yes, the experiment of embedding flowers and trees has been carried out in secret as early as more than ten years ago."
He stated the whole story in the calmest tone, without any expression from beginning to end: "The reason why the Ethereal Association does not recognize the existence of the Priory is because the order must be impeccable, so that it can convince the world and suppress those A hero with ambition."
"If the monastery is publicly recognized, then order has weaknesses. Those who want to counteract order will be eager to move, and the world will usher in unimaginable turmoil."
He paused: "Lei Ting is not the only one who has this kind of problem in the world of order. You didn't choose to make it public, but conducted an investigation secretly. Lei Ting is definitely not the experimental subject you selected, but because she does not accept follow-up experiments. I can’t survive at all. In order to conceal this matter, only the President can bear all the evil in person, this is the helplessness of the monarch, and it is also the responsibility of the monarch.”
This is what he found in that biotechnology company.
At that time, he realized the truth about the president.
Ji Zhou paused slightly with his hands in mid-air.
"I guess this matter is done quite secretly, even the two vice presidents may not know."
Gu Jianlin stared at her profile, and continued: "Including Tang Zijing and Gu Ci'an, their missions are also voluntary. They are willing martyrs, not victims of the president."
Ji Zhou was silent for a long time, and silently drank the hot tea in his cup.
She sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Little guy, you've learned a lot."
How this teenager learned about these things, she doesn't care anymore.
He always has his way, this is his ability.
It's just that in so many years, this is the first time someone has been able to gain insight into her thoughts.
Over the years, some people say she is cruel, some people say she is fatuous, some people think she is cold-blooded and ruthless, more people think she is old-fashioned, and some people even want to replace her.
As the king of the orderly world, of course she can ignore those gossip.
A true monarch is truly incompetent if he can be understood by all.
It's just, does she really not care?
The loneliness of those nights, the loneliness when the heights are unbearably cold, the sourness when running against the world, the struggle and grief when sitting in the chair of power, the comrades who once fought side by side have left one after another.
What she has done the most these years is to go to the cemetery of the Central Lingshu Temple, present a flower in front of the tombstone of the deceased, hold an ancient Buddhist scriptures, and watch the Sophora japonica flowers fall on the riverside.
She doesn't even have anyone who can tell the truth.
"Everyone lives with a mask on."
Gu Jianlin said softly, "Why haven't you ever lived for yourself?"
Some people feel that his way of life is bitter and cruel to himself.
Actually he doesn't think so.
Because someone is more bitter than him.
I am afraid that the president has not lived a single day for himself in the past four hundred years.
What right does he have to complain?
This may be the real reason why Senior Ji still doesn't want to reveal his identity.
The President is the President.
Ji Zhou is Ji Zhou.
She took off her mask to get along with herself.
Even if Gu Jianlin guessed her real identity, he didn't want to expose it.
"I don't know what will happen to my future with her, but I will promise you."
Gu Jianlin said seriously: "I will protect her at all costs, and I will kill anyone who wants to harm her. I will ensure that she sits in that position and inherits the mantle of president. If possible, in all After the matter is over, I also hope that she can find a new successor and live her own life."
His expression is very serious: "Just like you said, do whatever you want."
Half a sound.
Ji Zhou laughed unexpectedly.
It's not a sneer, but a very gentle smile, as if the glacier is thawing and the sun is melting the snow.
"Then the enemy you have to face is not that simple."
Her lips curled up in a playful arc, and she said with a smile: "The president still has three months at most, and the entire world of order is about to move, and some people can't hold it back."
Gu Jianlin was taken aback.
The turmoil within the Ethereum Association will definitely break out after the death of the president.
This is an inevitable thing.
It's just that he didn't expect it to be so fast!
"Didn't I get back the eternal bone?"
He said in surprise.
"Silly boy."
Ji Zhou held his hand and said with a smile, "Without your eternal bone, the president would have died."
Gu Jianlin's pupils suddenly shrank.
It seems that something else happened in the sea of eternal life.
As strong as a skylark is seriously injured and has amnesia.
The president is even on the line of life and death.
"Next, I want to tell you a secret, a secret that few people know."
Ji Zhou actually took out a piece of candy from his pocket and handed it to his lips.
Gu Jianlin was puzzled, but this piece of candy was still a very common rock candy.
No one eats it now, and it is generally used for cooking.
Just under the sun, this piece of rock candy is so crystal clear, glowing with countless strands of light.
"Four hundred years ago, I grew up in a temple. At that time, there were turmoil, natural and man-made disasters, and many people starved to death. There was an old monk in the temple who took in us orphans and taught us the way of practice. At that time We were naughty, and he would give each of us a piece of candy."
Ji Zhou said lightly: "Before listening to the lecture, eat a piece of candy first, and the children will be quieter."
Gu Jianlin asked suspiciously, "Is this a tradition?"
Ji Zhou hummed, with a hint of nostalgia in his smile: "After eating this piece of candy, I will treat you as my child, and I can secretly tell you some secrets."
Gu Jianlin took the rock sugar and put it in his mouth, the sweetness spread, it was quite delicious.
Ji Zhou stared at him, and didn't feel relieved until he confirmed that the rock sugar melted in his mouth.
"Now I want to tell you how the Priory was born."
She is like an old man who wants to tell stories to the children at home, staring at the sunlight outside the window and whispering: "Including where the inheritance of the Aether Association came from, and the division and turmoil in the past two hundred years, the true origin of the rebellion of Qing and Chi." The reason, everything is because of... the ancient gods, they were never invaders of the earth."
