After returning to the bedroom after the banquet, Ji Ling fell on the bed exhaustedly, not wanting to move anymore.
Thinking back on Carlos' abnormal behavior tonight, Ji Ling still felt a little uneasy. What caused Carlos to react completely differently from his previous life
Is it...
Ji Ling suddenly sat up from the bed, and said with a pale face: [Could it be that he was born again?]
System: [Rebirth?]
Ji Ling started the analysis in a logical manner: [This is a common theme in online novels. Usually, a hero or villain finds himself reborn after failing and dying in his previous life, so he wants to change his destiny and reach the pinnacle of life! Nine out of ten rebirths will do something that they haven't done in their previous life... Don't you think Carlos is weird? !]
In fact, there is another point that Ji Ling didn’t say. In addition to changing the fate of the protagonist of this kind of rebirth, most of the protagonists will have someone who was good to them in the previous life but didn’t cherish them. Then they will find the other person first in this life and enter the sweet pet mode. ... But Ji Ling feels that his relationship with Carlos does not belong to this category at all. If he dies, he can be regarded as a black-bellied villain and vicious cannon fodder! The only thing they have in common is that they all want to deal with Ning Yu, which can be described as collusion.
He never dreamed that Carlos would fall in love with him after rebirth, that would be absurd! It's scary to think about it!
The system was silent for a moment, and said: [As far as I know, this article does not contain rebirth elements. And according to what you said, the reborn character will try to change his own destiny by changing his behavior, so... Do you think Carlos' behavior today is to change his own destiny? Are you the key to his success or failure in his last life?]
Ji Ling: […]
Thank you, if you don't tell me, I almost forget that I'm not that important.
At best, he is cannon fodder, and he is not worthy of Carlos' favor at all. Even the entire Ji family is not that important in the game between Carlos and Jing Sui.
Although I helped Carlos in the last life when Jing Sui and Brandon jointly chased him down, but that was purely due to the desire to survive, because who made Carlos fall in front of him by chance? I have been exiled to such a far place to still encounter such a thing, what a disaster.
At that time, he looked into Carlos's cold eyes. At that moment, he felt that death was so close to him. If he couldn't make the right choice, he would die in the next second! Carlos really planned to kill him... Seeing that he was not far away from completing the mission, how could he die so unclearly? !
Life and death are just a thought away!
So Ji Ling had a flash of inspiration, pretending to ignore Carlos, and hid him without hesitation. After dealing with the pursuers in fear, he carefully sent away the ruthless villain. I guess Carlos was still laughing at him at that time, he was betrayed and still refused to recognize the reality, to help a person who doesn't care about himself, this kid is really stupid...
Cough cough, in short, after Carlos escaped, he quickly made a comeback, continued to fight with Jing Sui, and kidnapped Ning Yu to threaten Jing Sui. Seeing that Ning Yu was in danger, Ji Ling finally couldn't sit still. Although he was making things difficult for Ning Yu and bullying others, Ning Yu absolutely couldn't die. If Ning Yu died, the mission would be a complete failure.
So Ji Ling went there regardless of the danger, and went to see Ning Yu who was imprisoned by Carlos under the pretext of revenge and humiliating Ning Yu. He deliberately gave Ning Yu a chance to attack him and escaped in disguise.
Ning Yu is very smart. Not only did he pretend to be himself, but he also used a disguise device to disguise himself as him and stay in the cell, creating the illusion that he hadn't escaped, and delaying his escape.
Jing Sui finally came after Ning Yu escaped, Carlos did not recognize Ji Ling, and brought Ji Ling out as Ning Yu to threaten Jing Sui.
At that time, the plot was coming to an end. At the critical moment, Ji Ling rushed out to stand in front of Jing Sui, bought him a little time, and then happily revealed his true identity and received the lunch box. At that time, he naively thought that he could go home...
In short, although Carlos lost because he didn't have the aura of the protagonist, his last blow obviously cheated him.
With Carlos' character of vengeance, if he is really reborn, even if he doesn't come to kill himself now, he will never spend so much time to win over himself and the Ji family. After all, his personality is Jing Sui's hardcore fanboy , it is absolutely impossible to betray Jing Sui! There is no win-win value.
The only explanation that seems more reasonable is that he came here for his father. The butterfly effect caused by the collapse of the world made him make other choices in the process, but the purpose is still the same.
Ji Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this, how could such a thing as rebirth happen so casually? He really scares himself.
Think more!
... ... ...
Ji Ling, who turned off his brain hole, had a relaxing sleep, woke up in a daze the next day, looked at his room full of gifts, and was washing and scrubbing expressionlessly, when Ross received a message from the communicator. invite.
This plot is exactly the same as the previous life. After the last coming-of-age ceremony, Ross also warmly invited him to go out to the party.
The original owner often attends such gatherings among dandies.
As a rich and idle aristocratic dude, what else can he do besides eating, drinking and having fun? Going out and fooling around is his daily life, a wicked rich man.
Although Ji Ling didn't like this kind of occasion, but after thinking about it, he agreed. Now that Ning Yu and Brandon are still in the Nador galaxy and haven't returned, Carlos's intentions are unclear, so he should try not to do anything to change the plot, so as not to aggravate the changes and cause unnecessary trouble.
So an hour later, Ji Ling came to the meeting place.
Get off the suspension car and look up at the particularly sci-fi silver metal building towering into the sky.
This is a very famous entertainment venue in Dixing, and it is also one of the favorite gold-selling caves of the imperial nobles... The best wine, the most beautiful beauties, as long as you want and pay, you can find everything here.
As the only son of the Duke, the original owner is a well-known dandy in the empire, so he is naturally a frequent visitor here.
Ji Ling pursed his lips and walked into the dimly lit hall. The hall exuded a rich intoxicating fragrance. This is a kind of precious spice that can make people excited. However, it is expensive and rare because of the low production, but it is used here like cheap spices.
Luxuriously dressed men and women gather together in twos and threes. The dim light, indulgent men and women, and ambiguous atmosphere interweave a scene of extravagance and lewdness unique to imperial nobles, depraved and blurred.
Ji Ling frowned invisibly, and led by the waiter to Ross's location.
Ross's cheeks were slightly flushed, and there was a hint of alcohol in his breath. When Ji Ling sat down beside him, he smiled and said, "We have been waiting for you for a long time, and I have prepared a surprise for you today."
After clapping their hands, several handsome men and women walked over respectfully, looking at Ji Ling with flattering smiles.
Ross put his arms around his shoulders and said with a smile, "Do you like it? They are all yours today!"
Ji Ling looked indifferent, just like last time, in order to celebrate his coming of age, Ross prepared several handsome men and women for him to enjoy, but Ji Ling, an innocent straight man, had no idea of messing around here at all.
So he raised his eyebrows, glanced at the few people contemptuously, and sneered: "You dare to send this kind of thing in front of me, I think you are getting more and more numerous."
Ross had a bitter face: "I spent a lot of money to get these beauties back from Xianyunxing. Please show some face..."
Ji Ling patted Ross's hand away, raised his chin, and snorted, "They can't even match His Majesty's toes."
Ross: "..."
"Don't let them go." Ji Ling squinted at him, and said impatiently: "I told you to stop messing around. I only like His Majesty alone. Don't you understand?!"
Ross: "..." I thought that enjoying these beauties would not delay your liking for Your Majesty...
But seeing Ji Ling's unkind expression, he didn't dare to speak any more, so he waved his hands to let those people go down.
Although Ji Ling still looked unhappy on the surface, he felt that he was really a little clever ghost. When encountering such a thing, he used Jing Sui as a cover.
After all, he only has His Majesty in his heart, he is infatuated, and his eyes are high above the top, so how could he be interested in other people
After the beauties were sent away, a few of them started talking nonsense, and Ross and a few other dandies hugged each other... So it seemed that Ji Ling was a bit out of place.
Ji Ling took a sip of the fruit wine absent-mindedly, saying that this trick helped him fend off countless mad bees and butterflies.
Take this clubhouse as an example, the beauties who serve them are all top-notch goods from various star fields, and they can be enjoyed here at will... In case the nobles look down on these low-status commoners, if they see each other correctly Eyes, you can also come and shoot at any time.
This is the status quo of the private life of the imperial nobles at present.
After continuous evolution, the average lifespan of imperial nobles is more than 500 years, which is 3-4 times that of ordinary people. The long life span and extravagant life make them indulge in pleasure and enjoyment, and even men and women are not taboo in private life...
And now men and women, women and men, marriages between men and women are fair and legal! Because with the current technological means, gender is no longer an issue that hinders human reproduction. As long as you have money, the same sex can also reproduce with the help of technological means.
However, the physical gap between women and men through evolution is getting smaller and smaller, and the gender difference among imperial nobles is constantly weakening. According to the latest statistics, the ratio of same-sex and opposite-sex marriages among imperial nobles has been flat for many years.
On the contrary, the backward ordinary people of the empire still maintain a relatively primitive living condition and habits, and heterosexual love is still the mainstream.
Because ordinary people do not have enough resources, it is difficult to evolve, and there are still large differences in physique between men and women, and usually do not have enough economic strength to carry out "gene fusion type same-sex reproduction", they generally choose more primitive and economical. The way of reproduction is heterosexual marriage.
In Ji Ling's view, after solving the problems of physical differences and the reproduction of offspring, the imperial nobles have gradually evolved into a higher race with almost absolute gender fairness, although this so-called fairness is only for them internally. Still high above.
For the aristocrats, gender in marriage is not an issue, but the class gap is.
Then Ji Ling's problem comes. Among the imperial nobles who indulge in debauchery, open private life and lack the concept of gender differences, they are noble and handsome. Even among the nobles who are full of handsome men and beautiful women, they are dazzling. The eye-catching Ji Ling...is very popular, and there are always an endless stream of suitors, men and women.
Every time Ji Ling is very fortunate that Jing Sui is the only one in his character set.
And he knew that Jing Sui would never like him. Jing Sui had always sneered at him as an imperial waste and moth, and basically turned a blind eye to him... Ji Ling felt like a sailor who took money to do things, as long as the benefits came , It doesn’t matter if I yell Idol 10,000 times a day, because Idol won’t really love him anyway.
Just as he was thinking, there was a burst of malicious laughter beside him.
Ji Ling turned his head to look, and saw Ross and a few cronies looking at the holographic projection in front of them, pointing and showing sneering expressions.
In the projection is a very handsome young man. He has short black hair, green eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, and his eyes are like stars. His straight iron-gray military uniform further complements his heroic appearance, wide shoulders and narrow waist, and straight legs Slender... It stands to reason that he is a very charming character, but he doesn't get the respect of these dudes at all.
He is the protagonist of this book, Ning Yu.
Ji Ling shook his head, with a sarcastic and contemptuous smile on his face, but he felt a sigh of relief in his heart. No matter how good he was, as long as he was born as a commoner, he was destined not to be treated equally by these nobles.
Ross giggled, with a hint of intimacy in his eyes, and whistled: "Did you see it? This is the star of tomorrow who has recently become popular on the Star Network. During the battle between the Nador Galaxy and the Zerg He's got a lot of limelight. Those untouchables adore him and think he's doing their best for them."
Another dandy, Sante, said with a nasty smile: "The group of untouchables just haven't seen the world, they just came out of a mere S-level evolutionary, so they were so happy that they almost didn't get praised to the sky."
Ji Ling raised his eyebrows, he was just an S-level evolutionary... He was not afraid to flash his tongue with such a loud tone.
You must know that even among the nobles of the empire, S-level evolutionists are still a minority, and all of them are very outstanding talents, because with the current scientific and technological means, it is still impossible to create an evolutionary agent that can directly upgrade people to S-level , so even nobles have to rely on their own talent and hard work.
As for the most powerful SSS-level evolutionary, it is said that there are only Emperor Jing Sui and Marshal Brandon who is known as the 'Imperial God of War'.
Ji Ling felt that Carlos might be hiding his strength, and he was also an SSS-level evolutionary, but with his status, he didn't need to do it himself, so no one knew his true strength.
No matter what, although Ji Ling plays the role of a dandy, he actually admires Ning Yu in his heart.
Evolvers who do not use genetic evolution agents are called natural evolutionists, and all of them have extraordinary potential. Ning Yu is such a high-level natural evolutionist. He can get to where he is today because of his own natural strength!
Take yourself for example. Although both parents are high-level evolutionaries, it is difficult for them to give birth to offspring. After finally giving birth to the original owner, the child has only a C-level physique. It is like two phoenixes giving birth to a chicken, and a normal person gave birth to a child. The third-class disability is a genetic mutation...
And Ning Yu, an ordinary civilian, became an S-level evolutionary with his own potential and strength without resorting to external forces. Although it is also a type of genetic mutation, the difficulty is no less than that of a carp leaping over the dragon's gate and becoming a fairy.
The group of dandies who played with Ji Ling were all useless waste, a group of people who could not support the wall with mud.
They were the only ones who still had the face to laugh at Ning Yu.
A group of glittering renminbi krypton gold players are not as good as a pure liver, tragedy.
Tut tut.
Although Ji Ling thought so, he didn't break the human design, and said with a contemptuous look: "A mere S-level evolutionary person, what is there to brag about, huh."
Although Ning Yu can beat us to death one by one for trash like us, but we are still not convinced, as long as we have one breath left, we will continue to push.
Everyone beat Ning Yu, a rising star who was highly praised on the Star Network, from head to toe, and then began to discuss that Marshal Brandon was about to return with the army, and His Majesty would probably meet them in person.
Ross looked at the tall, cold-looking man with dark red hair and silver-gray pupils in the projection, with a look of fear on his face, and whispered: "Your Excellency the Marshal is willing to promote him, otherwise he is a pariah , can there be such a chance to show off?"
Everyone knows that Marshal Brandon is one of the few nobles who treat civilians equally. As an iron-blooded soldier, in his eyes, he only sees excellent fighters, not nobles and civilians. Dude... But they didn't dare to slander Brandon like they did to Ning Yu, and they were careful about complaining.
Sante comforted himself and said, "Even if His Majesty the Marshal is willing to promote him? Anyway, after the limelight is over, who will remember this rising star? Let those untouchables enjoy themselves for a few days."
Everyone nodded in agreement and did not continue this topic.
Ji Ling showed a thoughtful look. In the original book, Marshal Brandon is an affectionate male supporting role. He should have sympathized with Ning Yu on the battlefield and was gradually attracted to him, right? Now that they are coming back soon, the official plot is about to begin.
He also stayed here for a while, took a deep breath, his nose was full of rich aroma, Ross and the others had already started some unsightly activities, and they were chatting with each other.
Ji Ling pressed his dizzy head, and was about to find an excuse to leave.
At this time, a young nobleman in a black dress passed by, looked at Ji Ling with a surprised expression, and said, "Xiao Ling, you are here too."
Ji Ling looked up and recognized that this was one of his suitors, named Nie Tianqi, who was very persistent and difficult.
Ji Ling was a little impatient, and put on his usual arrogant and indifferent appearance, ignoring it.
Nie Tianqi didn't care about Ji Ling's attitude, and sat down next to him calmly, staring at him affectionately with black eyes: "I haven't seen you for several days, and you don't reply to my messages."
Ji Ling raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "Get out, don't bother me."
Nie Tianqi looked at the young man's handsome and delicate side face. Under the dim light, his water-blue eyes appeared darker than before, and his pink lips had a tinge of luster from drinking fruit wine, making them even more alluring than before. Times... His Adam's apple loosened for a moment, his eyes changed, and he suddenly showed a disappointed expression, and said, "I will be sad if you say that."
Although Nie Tianqi said such words, there was a look of desire hidden in Nie Tianqi's eyes. He thought he had enough patience with Ji Ling himself, but it was a pity that Ji Ling was still unmoved. Why don't we just use some means to force him? Afterwards, coax him well, so that he won't go out and make trouble because of such a scandal.
For nobles, going to bed is not a problem at all.
When Nie Tianqi thought of this, the smile on his lips deepened, and he said softly, "Since we've met, it's not too much to have a drink together, right? After drinking this glass of wine, I'll get out of here, okay?"
Ji Ling just wanted to send this guy away as soon as possible, and didn't want to entangle him for a long time like last time. After thinking about it, it was just a glass of wine anyway, so he paused and said, "So you're going to get out?"
Nie Tianqi looked greedily at his flamboyantly beautiful eyebrows, nodded slowly, and raised his hand to bring the wine glass in front of Ji Ling.
Ji Ling didn't think much, and reached out to take the wine glass...
Nie Tianqi's heartbeat sped up slightly, and he stared at Ji Ling intently. Seeing that Ji Ling was about to touch the wine glass in his hand, a sudden force knocked the wine glass in his hand to the ground with a loud crash.
The crystal clear wine spilled all over the floor, and soon soaked into the carpet, leaving only glass shards all over the floor, flickering slightly in the dim light...
Nie Tianqi was furious, just about to say who did it! As a result, when he raised his head and met Carlos's cold eyes, he shuddered suddenly, and the blood all over his body became cold with fear, and he stammered out a few words: "Ka, Your Excellency Carlos..."
Ji Ling looked up in a daze, and saw Carlos standing there with his palm still in mid-air, obviously he was the one who knocked over Nie Tianqi's wine glass just now.
Why... he came again!
