Facing the ghost doll's resentful gaze, Lu Anru calmly asked the first question that he had thought of for a long time.
"Baby, you don't need to think about the correct answer to the question. Just tell the dean, why can you control the urge to kill and swallow souls when you are in a state of total evil?"
Guiwa glanced at Lu Anru and Sheng Ming with extremely disdainful eyes, and said arrogantly: "I have told you that your college is useless and only teaches some flashy knowledge. If it hadn't been for me this time, you guys would have stopped trying to save highly evolved beings. Now that I’m done, fifty or so of them will be served as appetizers to Nan Ke.”
Dean Huo smiled and said nothing, looking at Lu Anru. The pretty little face was filled with unspeakable embarrassment, but I couldn't tell whether it was done deliberately or from the heart.
"The little ghost had a very crazy tone after eating Nanke." The hat casually passed through the ghost doll's translucent body and continued to look forward.
The ghost doll floated behind the hat in an arrogant manner, sticking out its tongue and rolling its eyes in disdain.
"I'm crazy for my own reasons. I admit that you highly evolved life forms are much more powerful than the members of Yuexiang's team, but you don't have enough brains. You are all so stupid that you will laugh out loud. There is no need to waste more resentment on you. , Just do some divisive tactics.”
Throwing out a precise blow, Hat and the tied Xingtian looked at each other. Although both parties didn't want to admit it, there was a faint look of shame in their eyes.
After suppressing the objections in a few words, the ghost doll floated back to Lu Anru and turned somersaults in the air, having a great time playing with it.
Under the comprehensive blow, Lu Anru's pride was not spared.
She suppressed the narrow-mindedness of giving up on the kid and dutifully reminded her in a sweet voice: "Baby, you haven't answered the question yet."
"The answer is so simple. At that time, Nanke's feet were full of resentful souls. They were my supreme delicacies. With their presence, the idiots would distract themselves from eating side dishes like yours."
The ghost doll said completely mocking words, floated in front of Huo Yu, and suggested without scruples: "Old man, after nearly wiping out the entire army this time, you need to remember longer. In the future, when educating students, don't just make false statements. To improve your skills with knowledge, you need to find a negative teacher, a boss like me, who will tell them the true mentality of monsters in actual combat."
Dean Huo half-squinted his eyes, seeming to be smiling kindly, but there were two scars hanging diagonally on his right eyelid, exuding a majestic and murderous aura.
Even Sheng Ming, who had been typing in information, raised his eyes and glanced displeasedly at the little ghost girl who was uttering arrogant words.
Lu Anru pulled the ghost doll back into his arms and explained to it in a naive manner: "The naughty child talks but doesn't mean it. Dean, you and the prime minister have a big heart, so please don't argue with it."
Enduring the biting cold, I pressed the ghost doll firmly to my chest and blocked its mouth.
Sheng Ming formed a magic formula with three fingers and summoned warm wind to wrap around Lu Anru. Sheng Ming used the heat-control method much better than Ella, and instantly cleared away the cold air from her body. Ella's heat-control method completely created the realm of ice and fire.
She especially remembered the feeling of being wrapped. The right side of her body was hot and sweaty, and the left arm was feeling cold.
Maybe her sincerity impressed the little female ghost, or maybe the little female ghost didn't like being wrapped in the hot fire spell. The little ghost struggled for a moment and lay motionless in her arms like a kitten.
Lu Anru poked its chubby body and continued to ask: "I remember during the battle, many students planned to use attacks to control you. Why didn't you retaliate? Even if you swallowed the resentful soul and had no time to pay attention to us, you knew that you would continue to swallow it later. There is a high chance that you will be imprisoned forever or be hunted down, but you still choose to save us. Can you tell us why?”
After asking the question in one breath, I realized that I had asked one more question. Considering that older wise men often like to dig into details, such as details. If Dean Huo also imposes strict requirements, a lot of preparation will be in vain.
Thinking about this, I was concerned about the corrections made by both parties: "I know that the baby is irritable and troublesome. Just answer the last question."
The ghost doll lay obediently in her arms and replied in a muffled voice: "I thought that you and Sister Taoshu Jing were so good to me, and I was so happy during that time in your dream. I don't know when Sister Taoshu Jing will be able to practice again. Consciously, until then, with you here, at least I can have some fun sometimes."
After receiving a sincere answer, Lu Anru's confidence that had just been shattered returned. He stole a glance at Dean Huo and tried another way to get around the corner.
"Well, I like you too, so I tried my best to help you leave the ghost building. I can understand your dedication to me, but other team members scolded you and beat you during the exam, and the mission also showed malice towards you. Even if you I don’t think it’s unusual to kill them all.”
After some side stimulation, Lu Anru's heart was beating fast. This is just a tightrope walk. She is not only afraid that the ghost doll will go crazy, but also afraid that Dean Huo will declare her violation of regulations and breach of trust and is determined to escort the ghost doll back to the ghost building.
After waiting for a few seconds, Dean Huo stared at her meaningfully, as if he was also waiting for the ghost doll to answer the third question, and wanted to know the result of her guidance.
The ghost doll turned over, resting its head on Lu Anru's arm, looking up at the shadow of her chin and thick eyelashes on her cheeks, and confided quietly.
"They are very annoying. Many times, I want to tear out their intestines and roll them into meat to eat. But in the dungeon, they said something that deeply touched my heart."
The ghost doll stopped mid-sentence, raised his chubby hand, touched her chin lightly, and exclaimed in surprise: "I heard the candidates said that when you look up at your mother in her arms, she has a double chin. It's ugly, but very beautiful. Warm and gentle.”
Lu Anru was speechless and didn't know whether to cry or laugh. It turned out that the reason why the little girl didn't make trouble was because she had never been hugged like this and treated her like a mother. But no matter the literal meaning of what the little girl ghost said, or the tone of her voice, it didn't seem like she was praising someone.
Seeing that Lu Anru remained silent for a long time, the little ghost girl noticed that her expression changed correspondingly with her depressed mood.
Because he was very greedy for her embrace, he was afraid that she would be angry and let him go. So, without waiting for her to ask, he revealed the answer himself.
"The team members said that I was their own ghost. I was very happy to hear it. And at the critical moment, they learned that I might be imprisoned again or hunted down. They didn't let me eat Nanke. I could feel it. They are really good for me.”
The touching words made Lu Anru's inner complaints dissipate, and he lowered his eyes and stared deeply at the little female ghost.
The little female ghost looked at her affectionately and made her squirm. She twisted her body and put her face into her chest, humming: "Tell the truth~ Don't stare at me so closely, as if you are watching the wonders of the world."
Lu Anru chuckled twice to resolve the little female ghost's embarrassment, lowered his head and put his lips against its ear, and said softly: "The doll is not a wonder in the world. I have discovered that the doll is a kind and good female ghost."
"No, you're talking nonsense. If I were really a kind and good ghost, I would have let the old man out of the ghost building long ago." Guiwa insisted firmly.
Lu Anru felt sad. In fact, who can distinguish between real good and evil? As the saying goes, do nine good things and do one bad thing, the world will only remember the one thing the other party did evil. On the contrary, if you do nine evil things and do one good deed, people in the world will use many beautiful words to describe that one good deed.
She couldn't tell the difference, she could only see the rare and valuable qualities of the little female ghost. The little female ghost was not accepted by the world from birth, but she remembered everyone's slight kindness to her.
It is much easier to ask for something than to be grateful, but the little ghost girl is not only grateful, but also gives something in return.
She glanced sadly at the old man who had the power of life and death. She could not read any emotion on the old man's face, which was full of wrinkles and scars, but the too serious expression made her feel frightened.
"Baby, I promise you. If our plan fails and you are still imprisoned, I will set aside one day a month to go to the ghost house to accompany you."
It seems that apart from the promise, Lu Anru only has the option of kidnapping the ghost doll, but that will only stimulate the ghost doll's evil thoughts.
Guiwa's energy is not what it used to be. If she takes Guiwa away by force, and one day Guiwa has a bad day and leaves, she may have to face Sheng Ming and the other three presidents to receive the S+ mission and go to kill him. Kill the little female ghost.
"Well, come and pull the hook."
The ghost doll stretched out its fat hand, and its childishness made Lu Anru reach the mark of the contract.
Lu Anru hooked the little finger of his fat hand with his little finger, shook it gently, and slowly said the familiar words of the agreement: "Hang yourself with a hook, and it will not change for a hundred years."
She really wanted to ask Sheng Ming to cast a promise-keeping spell on her so that the little ghost girl could smile again.
Just before the words came out of his mouth, he heard the old man's rich voice: "You can take the doll away, but all the highly evolved life forms present must die, so as to silence everyone."
Lu Anru didn't have time to be happy for a second. He sat up straight and tried his best to maintain the minimum courtesy. He looked directly at the old man who had always respected him so much and asked angrily: "Why?"
In fact, the old man had already told the reason, which stopped everyone.
It's just that she doesn't want to accept it.
Looking sideways at Hat and the others, the pain on her face became even heavier.
Hat tapped the glass of the display cabinet with his hand and responded: "Okay, I guess the death that Lao Huo said will not leave our souls for three years. Then let us simply let the ghost doll swallow it. It will stay with Xiao Hei, I don't worry ”
Judging from the relaxed tone, Hat does not sound like agreeing to die, but more like rushing to a long-awaited date.
Lu Anru was not as chic as Hat. When she heard that Hat was still thinking about her before she died, she lost control of her emotions and shouted at Dean Huo.
"You can't kill them. Duan sent me to the future. There will be a big war in the future, and Emperor Xuan Tian holds the winning weapon, so many of us died. If they are here, we may have hope of turning defeat into victory."
Dean Huo looked back at the collapsed person indifferently, looked calmly at Lu Anru's eyes that were so anxious that they were red, and asked with a smile: "Can anyone in this world escape death? Can I escape? Or can Gou Chen escape, or you? Can you escape?"
Lu Anru stopped asking, and the sense of desolation forced her to think about her own destiny.
After being slightly absent-minded, she forced her attention back and turned the topic to what she cared about: "I believe that man can conquer nature! Even if one cannot escape death, at least he should die in a worthy and meaningful way. What's the point of dying in the hands of one's own people?"
"Xiao Sheng, please take Lu classmate away first. My old friend and I will have a final chat and practice for them."
Dean Huo stopped the emotionally charged conversation and looked at Sheng Ming.
Lu Anru never expected that Sheng Ming would obey her words and grab her arm and take her out of the dean's office.
After the door was closed again and Lu Anru was locked out, Sheng Ming let go of his hand.
Lu Anru was so angry that he tightened his arms around the ghost doll, raised his head and asked Sheng Ming: "Are we not going to do anything? Let the haters and the others die?"
"An Ru, do you know the true inside story of Wu Hao's father's deeds?"
Sheng Ming answered the question incorrectly.
Lu Anru's patience ran out, he pushed away the meaningless topic and shouted: "Xiao Ming, I won't let the hat die! When we were growing up, he spent more time playing with us than our parents did. He is important to us. My dear! I can accept his death in battle and his death for what he loves, but I cannot accept his miserable death!"
"An Ru, didn't he die for the descendants he loved?"
Sheng Ming asked in a calm tone, and following his gaze, Lu Anru saw her pink bag.
All the important memories of the dungeon flashed through her mind like a slide show. Yes, the team members and reporters all saw with their own eyes that she was the one who put the highly evolved life form into the powder bag, and the hat was sacrificed so that she could escape.
She stuffed the ghost doll into a powder bag, raised her arms to cover her eyes, and her sleeves were soaked with tears of disappointment. She should have arranged things more carefully.
Sheng Ming hugged her trembling shoulders, and the next second Lu Anru pushed Sheng Ming away, turned around and ran to the elevator.
Press the 1st floor button, move your finger to the off button, click on it hard, and block the pursuing Sheng Ming from the door.
During the descent, she repeatedly thought of the time spent with the hat and cried silently. The heartbreaking pain caused her to have serious self-doubt. Could it be that saving the hat meant that he could buy more time for her to live
Suddenly I don't know what the meaning of life is. It seems that all I have to do is work hard to win the war so that Sheng Ming and the people he cares about can reach the future.
A crisp ding sounded and the elevator door opened.
He looked up and saw the red-haired girl, who hurried over, took her hand, and said breathlessly: "An Ruru, why are you getting angry with the senior? He is so worried about you, give it to me Send a message and ask me to pick you up.”
“The hat is dying.”
Lu Anru threw herself into Ella's arms and couldn't help sobbing, releasing all her suppressed emotions.
Ella patted her on the back and comforted her in a low voice: "I heard, but there is something weird about the news report I heard. There may be a glimmer of hope. The reporter relayed that in order to avoid the danger of violating the conventional theory of evolution again. Biology, Yue Xiang will execute the three highly evolved life forms in Nan Yimeng’s dungeon in the afternoon.”
Lu Anru questioned absently: "Where is there a glimmer of hope?"
The red-haired girl helped her best friend upright, took out disinfectant wipes from her pocket, and wiped away her tears. She put her red lips to her ear and whispered a reminder.
"Please read the report carefully. There are three highly evolved life forms in the dungeon. This means that Xiao Luan, Xiao Hong, and the highly evolved souls are not included."
The unclosed powder bag shook, and in Lu Anru's mind came the confident reprimand of the little girl: Crying for nothing, you tried to persuade me before, crying is useless. If we can save Gou Chen and the others once, we can naturally save them the second time. I admit that I don’t like Gou Chen and Xing Tian, but Sister Qingluan begged me to take action. I must help.
