Ji Yijun sneaked out of the girls' dormitory like a thief, and then heard someone yelling from behind: "Ji Yijun, where are you running to!"

Ji Yijun felt as if his heart was lifted up, and he almost banged his head against the wall. He turned back to see the direction of the voice and got angry: "Damn it, Huang Zheng, you bastard, ambushed me and tried to scare me!"

Huang Zheng still had that serious look on his face, not even the ferocity he had in battle. He adjusted his glasses, revealing a look of disappointment, "You've fallen! You look so sneaky, I'm afraid you've just done something unspeakable, haven't you?"

"Nonsense!" Ji Yijun was so angry that he slapped him on the head, but the latter pointed his finger at his nose and said, "You are a vindictive person, are you going to silence me with a slap?"

Ji Yijun was pointed there. He couldn't control the strength of his fighting spirit. If he really hit Huang Zheng, he might be able to paralyze him. He put down his hand awkwardly and said, "I won't argue with you. A handsome guy like me has enough time to talk about life with beautiful women, so why would I have the time to talk nonsense with you?"

"Oh, did you do it again?" Huang Zheng looked him up and down, trying to find some clues, but Ji Yijun was strong and healthy. Even if it was the first sunny day after the **, his face would not be red and his legs would not be weak. How could he be seen as a decent person? Huang Zheng saw his playful and smiling face, and felt very disgusted. He poked the watch on his wrist and cursed, "One o'clock in the afternoon, in broad daylight! Ji Yijun, Ji Yijun, do you believe that if I expose your dirty tricks of entering and leaving the girls' dormitory by fighting, you will be the public enemy of all the boys in the school?"

"What am I afraid of? I was invited here by others! These sisters have experienced fear, loneliness, and fear. They don't have the courage to start a new life. This is when they need a strong arm to support them the most!" He bulged the tendons on his arms, "Who is more suitable than a fighting hero like me to give them hope and confidence?"

"You beast! If you keep going like this, you'll be the father of your own!"

"I've already said it, spiritual communication, it's spiritual communication!"

"Do you think I will believe it?"

"Okay, okay, whatever you think. What if I really get promoted? Dare to plant but not harvest? With my genes, I can definitely create the most outstanding nation! Do you believe that my father in heaven will be so happy that he goes crazy?" Ji Yijun put his hands in his trouser pockets, turned around and walked out.

Huang Zheng didn't respond. He silently looked at his back for a while, thinking that this might be Ji Yijun's way of stepping out of the shadows.

Ji Yijun walked a few steps and suddenly turned back to ask, "Old Huang, I'm wondering why you haven't changed at all. Don't you have any feelings about what happened that night?"

"Feel?"

"I still don't understand how you could stab someone to death so easily. When I think about those grotesque corpses, those twisted hands and feet, the torn wounds, and those eyes that couldn't close in the firelight, I still have nightmares. Only when I'm with the girls can I forget these things. But you, how come nothing happened?"

Huang Zheng had a strange expression, as if he was recalling something, but he said, "I am a medical student. In my eyes, the enemy is no different from minced meat. This is the basic quality of our industry."

Ji Yijun twisted his mouth and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? That day, several doctors and nurses in the school hospital vomited due to nausea. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Tell me, what exactly did you suddenly come out for?"

"Today at 2 o'clock, the squad leader and above of the guard team must attend a meeting. Did you forget? I have been running around for half an hour just to find you for the meeting."

"Meetings, meetings. Wang Jiyuan has been having meetings every day these days. Yesterday he was summarizing this, today he was discussing that. These are all boring meetings. What big deal can come out of them?"

"I heard that the guard team is going to go into the mountains to clear out the goblins."

"Into the mountains?" Ji Yijun stopped and asked seriously, "Are you talking about the mountain that Morey mentioned?"

"Yes. It's the mountain they don't let you go to. Orvel and Awan escaped." Huang Zheng saw Ji Yijun's expression slowly twisted. The hatred that was usually buried deep in his heart floated from his heart to his face. "They either died in the mountain or got supplies from the goblins. I think as long as we have a chance to go deep into the forest, we may find some clues."

"My enemies won't just die in the mountains. I'm still waiting to take revenge with my own hands, but they can't just die like that." Ji Yijun pulled Huang Zheng up, "Let's go to the meeting."

The two people were walking hurriedly on the road. When they turned two corners and arrived at the bottom of the physics building, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of the building, looking at the roof.

"Hey, what's the fun?" Ji Yijun looked in the direction of those heads looking up at the sky, and was shocked to see a figure in white standing on the fence on the roof of the twelfth floor.

It was a woman, and the wind blew up her skirt, like a piece of gauze floating in the air, which might fall from the roof at any time.

"Someone wants to commit suicide?" Huang Zheng is shortsighted and can't see the person on the roof clearly. He only sees a blurry white mass.

What else could she do except commit suicide? Ji Yijun saw that the woman's toes were sticking out of the wall. If she tilted slightly, she would fall.

Ji Yijun stared at her for a while and found that the woman looked familiar. "This person is... the woman who wanted to escape."

"You mean, the Wu Qi who was called a traitor? No wonder..." Huang Zheng looked as if he suddenly realized something.

"How could this person be so despicable! We worked so hard to save her life? How could she commit suicide?" Ji Yijun felt a sense of suffocation in his chest and suddenly became irritated.

"Her boyfriend was beaten to death by his own people, her best friend was killed by horse thieves, and people in school don't like her. What's the point of living like this? It's normal for her to want to commit suicide." Huang Zheng said lightly.

Ji Yijun said with a fierce face, "It's not her turn to commit suicide. What is this stupid woman trying to do by standing there?"

"Suicide is sometimes just a show, but it often becomes real. This is beyond the control of outsiders like us."

"Who said we are outsiders?" Ji Yijun glanced at Huang Zheng and said, "I hate your indifferent attitude the most. I will take care of this matter."

"You are the platoon leader of the guard team, not a psychiatrist. Can you please stop making trouble?" Huang Zheng said unhappily.

"You know shit!" Ji Yijun roared and rushed towards the door of the physics building.

Huang Zheng was stunned by the yelling and did not follow Ji Yijun. He squinted his eyes, looked at the rooftop, turned around and ran into the experimental building next door.

Without the elevator, it was still very difficult to run up the stairs of more than ten floors, but Ji Yijun's luck and strength increased greatly, and he could jump over a dozen steps in one step. Many people were also running upstairs in a hurry, and they only felt a gust of wind blowing, and Ji Yijun jumped past them.

When he ran to the roof, Ji Yijun found that there were already more than a dozen people standing seven or eight meters away trying to persuade him, and Ye Zi was also there.

"Xiao Qi, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have gossiped about you in the dormitory. I apologize. Please come down." A girl said in a crying voice. She was probably her roommate.

"Yeah. We are all big mouths, you know that, don't take it too seriously."

"Have you ever thought about why you are alive..." Wu Qi didn't even turn her head, still facing the outside, "I have been thinking about this question since I got here. What's the point of living in such a boring and backward world? Li Qiuxin told me that this is a new world with many magical things. He would become a strong man like the protagonist of a novel and take me around the world. Then he died. Jiang Jie told me that money is the only thing that matters in every world. We have a lot of money. If we sneak out, we can enjoy life. Then she died too. I followed them. In fact, I never really believed in them. It's just that I didn't have anything else to rely on."

"Wu Qi, didn't you say that you would change your attitude and live a good life? On the night when the bandits attacked the city, you and I worked hard to survive. We almost died at the hands of the bandits. Have you forgotten?" Ye Zi pushed through the crowd and walked to the front.

Wu Qi heard Ye Zi's voice and looked back at her. "Maybe... I was wrong that day. It's too hard to persist. It's too hard to endure. Since so many people have come and died, why can't you let me be like them? Let me think quietly, figure it out, and then quietly leave this hopeless world."

Ji Yijun couldn't understand the idea of seeking death, he always despised people who gave up their lives. Therefore, he didn't want to argue with this woman, but hoped to solve the matter in a simple and direct way.

He let Ye Zi and the others talk to each other, while he crouched down and slowly moved closer from the blind spot of Wu Qi's vision.

Eight meters.

Seven meters.

Six meters.

Ji Yijun estimated that with his best ability, he could hold her back at the moment she fell at a distance of about three meters. This woman made him feel both pity and hate. His father was buried in this land to protect everyone, and the person he sacrificed for did not know how to cherish his own life. This was simply a blasphemy.

Your life is not only yours, but also his! You are not qualified to waste your life like this! He wanted to teach Wu Qi a lesson, and he turned these words into actions, getting closer to the other party little by little.

Four meters. Ji Yijun gestured to Ye Zi to attract her attention. Ye Zi nodded knowingly and made a promise loudly: "The past is over! I promise that no one will bully you again. I will let you live a decent life again. Please believe me."

Three meters, you can take action immediately.

"I don't need promises!" Wu Qi suddenly got excited when she heard this for some reason, "They all made promises to me! What about vows of eternal love, what about swearing to the heavens! What I don't want to hear most now is promises!" She turned around abruptly, and was about to confront Ye Zi angrily, but happened to see Ji Yijun who was already in front of her.

"Ah~" Wu Qi was frightened by Ji Yijun, who looked ferocious and hunched over. She screamed and took a step back involuntarily. She stepped on empty air and fell backwards.

Ji Yijun felt his head explode, and instinctively used his fighting spirit to rush forward. He grabbed the other person in mid-air, but because he used too much force, they both flew further out...

There was a cry of surprise from people upstairs and downstairs. Ye Zi covered her mouth upstairs, as if she was frozen. She didn't dare to walk to the railing to look down. She knew that even if she had fighting spirit, she would not become a superman. There was no possibility for the two of them to survive if they fell from the twelfth floor.

However, a moment later, the screams from downstairs turned into cheers and applause. She hurried over and looked over. In the air not far from the ground, the light of a magic circle was fading away. A pair of figures were held up by the light and were slowly approaching the ground...

After a while, Ji Yijun, who had stepped on the ground, put Wu Qi, who was in his arms, on the ground. Wu Qi's face was pale, and her legs and feet were weak. She collapsed as soon as she touched the ground. Huang Zheng came over and supported her, and joked to Ji Yijun: "You owe me half your life now. The other half belongs to Morey. If I hadn't seen the opportunity early and invited him to cast the deceleration magic circle, you wouldn't have been able to pass this level."

"Humph, you are the only one who is meddling in other people's business! I have my own way to stay alive, and I don't need his help at all." Ji Yijun ignored Morey who was standing aside, and pushed Wu Qi into Huang Zheng's arms, pointed his finger at Wu Qi's nose and said, "Listen! If I say you can't die, then you can't die! If you have to die, die somewhere useful!"

Wu Qi was still in a trance. The fear of falling from the building far outweighed her original determination to jump off the building. Just when she was regretting and despairing, she was hugged tightly by someone, which gave her a strange sense of security. Someone would actually jump off the building with me? A trace of sadness and a bit of touching mixed with the previous strong emotions made her heart confused.

Morey came over and seemed to want to say something, but Ji Yijun turned his head away and quickly left the scene.

"This guy! Mr. Morey, I'm so sorry. The platoon leader is very stubborn. He hasn't been able to get over that hurdle in these days." Huang Zheng apologized.

"Who doesn't have worries in his heart?" Morey didn't seem to care about Ji Yijun's unreasonableness. He looked at Wu Qi, whose lips were trembling and whose eyes were dull, with a complicated expression, then nodded to Huang Zheng, turned around and walked into the laboratory building.

“This is..., this is..." Wu Qi, still in shock, grabbed Huang Zheng's arm tightly, looking in the direction the two people left and asked stutteringly.

"You are unwilling to accept this, right? You are unwilling to accept this, and he is unwilling to accept this either. Since you are still unwilling to accept this, you should just live well." Huang Zheng sighed.
