Tips: If the baby state in the (pre-) awakening stage does not have an inhibitor injected, it may cause frequent and long-term physical contact with the baby state that has been injected with the inhibitor, which may cause the opponent's inhibitor to fail. will not. Not injecting is probably the appearance of normal earth people, it has little impact on daily life, but there are hidden dangers.
"...As a friend, he will always be remembered for us, may the next life be well, bow."
When the host's voice fell, Ling Xiao followed everyone and bent down deeply, and when he got up again, tears were streaming down his face.
The classmates lined up to offer flowers in their hands one by one, and then silently came back to give Ling Xiao, who was standing at the front of the line, a silent hug. Ling Xiao attended as Pingzong's best friend before his death, but Lan Sheng has been forcibly quarantined by the school since that incident, and he couldn't even attend the farewell ceremony.
Ying Feng was the last one to step forward to say goodbye. Instead of offering flowers, he gave Ling Xiao something in return. Ling Xiao looked at the incomplete cloth in his hand. It was a corner cut from Lan Sheng's cuff. Tears rained down.
There is no funeral in Tiansu, and people sometimes even gather to celebrate death, but a tragedy like Pingzong's death before it begins will always be saddening.
Many people participated in the farewell ceremony. The principal, instructors, classmates, and even the school doctor and her Qizi, who did not belong to the college, stood at the end of the team, silently watching the students with sad expressions come out one by one. Going out next to them—this is the first time these babies have come into contact with death, and the objects are still people who used to get along day and night. There are tears on the girls’ faces, and some boys have red eyes. first lesson.
In the end, there were only a few people left in the hall. Ling Xiao and his friends who were worried about him, Ying Feng also unexpectedly stayed behind. The principal and Yaotai looked at each other and sighed, and took the initiative to walk to Ling Xiao's side.
"Please don't blame Dr. Yao. The whole thing is my idea. I thought that gentle mobilization would reduce students' resistance to the coming-of-age ceremony. I hope everyone can go through this stage peacefully. I can't think of the opposite effect."
"If it weren't for my own opinion, Lan Sheng would not have such a serious psychological gap, and he would not have acted so radically, and Pingzong would not have died for him. The fault of the whole thing lies with me. , I sincerely apologize to you and to my students."
The principal lowered his head sincerely, Yaotai wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Zhi Shang.
He shook his head silently, motioning her not to disturb for the time being, but Yaotai gritted her teeth and held back. In this matter, it was impossible to say who was right and who was wrong. Every coming-of-age ceremony would lead to tragedies. The principal's starting point was also to hope that such tragedies could be minimized, but who could predict in advance what had not happened yet.
Now that the principal is taking the initiative to bow his head to the students and admit his mistake, Yaotai is unspeakably annoyed, not to mention that she is the biggest accomplice in the whole incident, and she should be the one to apologize.
Ling Xiao turned around, because he was not developed, the headmaster's height was almost the same as his, the two were facing each other, their eyes were almost parallel, like two peers.
"Headmaster, you don't have to apologize to me. If you go back in time and you didn't make that decision, even if we know the truth, they will still have a coming-of-age ceremony."
"I know their strength very well, Pingzong will win, Lan Sheng will lose, and the result will not change. Lan Sheng will not be willing to be a pawn and that will not change, no matter which path you choose, it will lead to the same ending. "
He turned his face with tears in his eyes and stared at Pingzong's posthumous photo, "Perhaps when they decided to be together, this ending was already doomed, and the mistakes of others only made their way to the ending a bit faster. Just a little bit."
He walked towards Zhishang, the other party changed a pair of glasses, the previous pair had been smashed by Ling Xiao in the emergency room.
"I should be the one who owes you an apology, Doctor."
"Do not… "
"Please listen to me," Ling Xiao interrupted him, "I not only want to apologize, but also thank you for the first lesson you taught me about coming-of-age rites. This lesson is too expensive to make I will never forget it for the rest of my life.”
"If I hadn't felt it so closely, I might not have realized the cruelty of the coming-of-age ceremony, and I might have been a foolish baby who didn't understand anything. I would joke about the relationship between the deed master and the deed child, and in the physiology class Mind wandering. Don't say that my body has not developed into an adult, and my psychology is far worse. Thank you for making me take a big step forward and letting me see my naivety and ignorance."
His eyes were so sharp, and the tears stubbornly stayed in his eyes, so that even Zhi Shang couldn't bear to look at him.
"But now I understand, what Dr. Yao said, Tiansu people's lifelong goal is to become stronger, conquer the strong, and become stronger."
"And I used to be self-righteous and become stronger, and I was not willing to lose to someone in any project, but it was just a kind of bravery. Thank you, in this way, I have clearly recognized my goals."
He raised his fist, clenching half of his cuffs tightly inside, "I swear, this life, absolutely, will never be anyone's pawn, I will control my own destiny, and let no one decide my life or death. Regardless of the future At the coming-of-age ceremony, whoever I will face, even if it is the one I love, I will never, never lose."
—
Yaotai, who was very worried, went out for a long time, only to find that there was a person behind him.
"What's the matter with you?" She stopped and asked Ying Feng.
"The medicine you injected me last time seems to have failed."
Yaotai was stunned, "How come? It's only been a few days."
"I've had unusual physiological reactions for two days in a row."
Yaotai thought for a while, "Have you been in close contact with any awakened person?"
Ying Feng recalled, probably only Zhu Yue confessed to himself that evening that he had entered the awakening period, and the drug's failure was almost only after that.
"Once," he confessed.
Yaotai suggested to him, "If the other party doesn't suppress the idea of awakening, and you don't want to be troubled by the physiological response of awakening, I suggest you keep your distance from the other party."
Ying Feng didn't intend to have anything to do with Zhu Yue, "I will."
"Come with me, and I'll give you another shot."
Ying Feng followed Yaotai back to the medical building. It could be seen that she was very worried, and Ying Feng was not a talkative person, so the two of them were speechless all the way to Yaotai's office.
The transparent and cool potion was injected into his body again, accompanied by Yaotai's exhortation, "Normal contact will not cause the potion to fail. Only intensive physical contact will cause the hormone level to be disturbed. Just pay attention to this point. Just fine."
Ying Feng wanted to say that he just said a few words to Zhu Yue face to face, but in the end he was too lazy to open his mouth, anyway, he had already decided to keep a distance, it was useless to talk more.
"Okay," Yaotai finished the injection, Ying Feng put down his sleeves a little and got up to leave.
"Thank you the night before yesterday," Yaotai said suddenly.
Ying Feng knew she was referring to Ling Xiao, "It's nothing."
"I know that people like you have always liked to be alone. If I hadn't forcibly asked you to come, you would definitely not mind other people's business. What's more, I know that Ling Xiao's relationship with you is not very good. But forgive me, I was really incapacitated at the time, and he was like that, I couldn't drive him away."
"I understand," Ying Feng simply replied to her.
Yaotai was very worried, "Since the incident in Pingzong, many registered students have requested to postpone the coming-of-age ceremony. This year's awakening period started very badly, and I can foresee the difficulties that will come next. It’s something everyone has to face, and escaping can’t solve the problem.”
"I think they just want to re-prepare. I believe our psyche will not be so fragile, and when they are properly prepared, they will face their future."
"Hopefully," Yaotai looked at the baby that made her pay special attention, "although you haven't found the one you like, but you have to be well prepared."
"I always remember what Dr. Yao told me, and after yesterday, I have confirmed this," Ying Feng said, "What Ling Xiao said just now is also what I want to say, no matter who the person facing the coming-of-age ceremony in the future is. I will never lose to anyone."
When Ying Feng came out of the medical building, the sky was getting dark, and lights were lit everywhere on the campus. At this time, it was still too early for the access control, and Ying Feng had nothing to do, so he decided to go to the training hall temporarily. Too many things have happened in succession these two days, and he just wants to sweat a little before going to bed, which can help sleep.
But when he arrived outside the training hall, he unexpectedly found that there were lights in the hall, and from time to time bursts of beating could be heard from inside.
Someone came here ahead of him. Ying Feng didn't want to share his interest in the venue in his private time. He was just curious about who had the same idea as him. The person is none other than Ling Xiao, who just made an oath at Pingzong's farewell ceremony.
Ling Xiao activated two combat robots at the same time, and every punch and kick hit the "crucial point". There were several scrapped robots lying down at the base of the wall not far away. It can be seen that Ling Xiao has been practicing here for a while. .
It's not that Ying Feng has never fought against him, but at the moment Ling Xiao, his eyes are sharper, his expression is more serious, and his attacks are more precise.
When he saw the most exciting time, he saw Ling Xiao turned around and kicked the robot in front of him. It hit the wall and fell to the ground again. A small door popped open on his chest, and a white flag was tied inside. .
Ling Xiao followed with another kick, and another robot flew towards Ying Feng, Ying Feng instinctively returned a punch, and the second robot also rolled to the side.
"You peek," Ling Xiao said from a distance.
Ying Feng was too lazy to refute, not to mention that he was peeping.
"I didn't expect there were people here so late."
"I want to get stronger," Ling Xiao said firmly, "I won't lose to anyone in the coming-of-age ceremony, I swear."
"me too."
Ling Xiao tilted his head, "Would you like to come and practice together? The last fight doesn't count. I hope you don't temporarily lose the chain this time."
Ying Feng unbuttoned his uniform one by one, took it off and threw it aside, and rolled up his sleeves in an orderly manner.
"Last time was an accident, this time I won't let the water go."
In the training hall, the two of them met their opponents, and it was the first time that they had hit each other so freely.
It was not until the two of them were exhausted that the battle practice came to an end. Ling Xiao spread out a large letter on the floor without any image. The ground was soaked with sweat, and his chest kept rising and falling.
Ying Feng was not much better than him, he sat leaning against the wall, one hand resting on his bent knee, sweating like rain, and his breathing was short of breath.
"It's been a long time since I had such a good fight," Ling Xiao said while panting.
Although Ying Feng didn't express it, he agreed in his heart that playing against a real person, especially against an equal opponent, is a completely new experience compared to a robot that follows the rules.
"Although I always disagree with you, I have to admit that you are really strong," Ling Xiao expressed his appreciation for Ying Feng for the first time.
Ying Feng was silent for a moment, before replying, "You too."
"But even so, if one day I really meet you at the coming-of-age ceremony," Ling Xiao said confidently, "I won't lose."
"Each each other," Ying Feng said after a while, "but it's obviously impossible for that kind of thing to happen, you think too much."
Ling Xiao was splashed with cold water and felt that his body was not so hot anymore. He stood up staggeringly, "Although I haven't beaten enough, it's a pity that it's almost time for access control."
Ying Feng also got up and picked up his uniform from the ground. The original intention of his coming here was just to sweat a little bit. He never thought that he would encounter Ling Xiao by chance.
The two returned to the dormitory building one after the other, and Ling Xiao did not speak again until the two came to the fork in the corridor.
"Hello," he called.
Ying Feng stopped and listened to what he wanted to say.
"Will it continue tomorrow?" He raised his fist, "Training together."
The hallway was dimly lit, and his gray eyes looked extra bright, not related to the color of the eyeballs, but to the radiance he exuded.
"Okay," Ying Fengqing couldn't help but agree to him, ignoring that he once threatened to defeat him in front of the whole class to be his deed master. Not long ago, the relationship between the two seemed to be freezing.
After Ling Xiao got a positive reply, the corners of his mouth rose sincerely. This was the first time Ying Feng saw Ling Xiao laugh since he last saw him in the medical building. In just three days, he has witnessed this person's rebound from the bottom to the top. It seems that such a person will never be knocked down by any negative force, and even the pain of losing his best friend will eventually become his indomitable path forward. the power of.
