Ji Ling went back to the Duke's mansion alone. The guard at the gate opened his mouth in surprise when he saw him, and stammered, "Young master, you are back..."
Ji Ling nodded.
The guard was very excited, and immediately went in to report. Soon, Grand Duke Ji Ting and Mrs. Marina rushed out. They hadn't seen each other for a while, and both of them seemed to be much haggard.
Ji Ling stood there silently, hugged tightly by Mrs. Marina, lowered her eyes and didn't know what to say.
He could feel the other party's concern, but all of this did not belong to him, because their son, the real 'Ji Ling' had long since died, and the one standing here is only a tasker from another world, he is always will also leave.
But he had no choice but also couldn't bear to tell the truth.
After a long time, Ji Ling whispered, "I'm back."
Mrs. Marina choked up and said, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."
Grand Duke Ji Ting said in a deep voice, "Did His Majesty bring you back?"
Ji Ling said, "Yes."
Seeing Ji Ling's dejected appearance, the two couldn't bear to ask more questions. They could only watch the back of the child leaving alone, and picked up their hearts in pain.
... ... ...
When Ji Ling returned to his courtyard, there was no Wen Yan waiting there respectfully at the door as usual. He used to find this sinister villain annoying, but now he felt that something was missing and he was not used to it.
Ji Ling: [System, do you think Wen Yan escaped?]
System: [I don't know, it was very chaotic at the time, maybe I escaped, maybe I didn't.]
Ji Ling paused, then silently pushed the door open and entered.
Although he hadn't come back for a long time, the house was still clean. It was obviously cleaned every day, waiting for the return of the owner at any time, and there were fresh flowers in the exquisite vases on the table.
I don't know if his parents are waiting for him in his home on earth
Ji Ling let out a sigh of relief, opened the communication panel, and checked the Internet after a long absence.
At this point, he was almost dazzled by all kinds of overwhelming news.
Ning Yu's identity as Gabriel was exposed, and she was wanted by the entire empire. Anyone who provides clues about Gabriel will receive a sky-high reward. Everyone was shocked that the impeccable idol of the inspirational civilians, the imperial hero known as the rising star, would turn out to be the murderous leader of the rebel army.
Jing Sui raided the Sosa galaxy and destroyed Carlos' wedding, and then Carlos openly declared war on Jing Sui, and large areas of the empire fell into war. Conservatives and Jing Sui's reformers were torn apart. At the beginning, they were forced to stand in line, and the battle was in full swing.
Grand Duke Ji Ting chose to stand on Jing Sui's side.
Finally, there is the news about Ji Ling, interspersed among these major events, it does not seem to be the most important, but he is everywhere.
Some people say that Ning Yu revealed his identity because of Ji Ling, some say that Carlos declared war on Jing Sui because of Ji Ling, and some say that Jing Sui raided the Sosa galaxy because of Ji Ling. Although there is no evidence, there are different opinions. He is really popular this time Interstellar... Not only is he the nominal wife of Carlos, but he was also snatched from the wedding by Gabriel. Wen Yan gave up the position of speaker and everything for him. marry him as queen...
It's like a blue-faced disaster for a generation!
As an empire dandy, C-level waste, Ji Ling's name is tied to the top dignitaries of every empire, and has been on hot news over and over again. Everyone wants to know his news, dig his past and any There are clues, and many people even expressed that they want to create films and literary works based on Ji Ling, telling the legendary life of a generation of disasters... There are also countless civilians caught in the flames of war who do not hesitate to insult and attack him, thinking that he is the chief culprit of the war The culprits all cursed him to die early, and did not hesitate to speculate on him with the greatest malice.
Seeing this, Ji Ling turned off the Internet expressionlessly, and complained to the system: [What did I do, why do I feel like it is a disaster for the country and the people?]
The system laughed dryly: [They don't know the truth, they are talking nonsense, don't take it to heart.]
But this time, Ji Ling didn't laugh it off, but said calmly: [At this time in the last life, there was no war.]
In the last life, Jing Sui had been plotting for a long time, and joined Brandon to assassinate Carlos. Although it was still life and death, there was no war until he received the lunch.
Ji Ling doesn't think highly of himself, thinking that he changed everything, he has been working hard to follow the plot, and doesn't want to change... But this group of reborn people still messed up the world by themselves.
Many things that did not happen in the previous life happened, such as Ning Yu's exposure, such as this war.
Sometimes a thing happens, there are many reasons, many factors. Although I don't want to... But is I also one of the reasons for all this development
Ji Ling's heart was stuffy, as if something heavy was pressing on his heart, and he was even a little restless.
He just turned eighteen last year and was about to enter university. He didn't even try to provoke the burden of life, and he was shrouded under the wings of his parents, but in this world, his every move was related to others life and death. Even if he told himself time and time again it was all false, false...
Just play.
But why can fake things be so realistic
…
Ji Ling just stayed at home like this, quietly and without being disturbed.
He also stopped pretending.
Pretending to be a completely different person from yourself, doing things you don't want to do against your will, is actually a very tiring thing, but when he first came to this world, he was careful not to make mistakes, as if he came to this world A lonely child in a strange world, fearing that if he makes a mistake, he will never recover. He is helpless and at a loss, but he can't tell anyone.
Even if you want to help others occasionally, you have to disguise it with a vicious appearance, afraid of being discovered.
But after being reborn, he gradually discovered...
Even if I don't pretend so carefully, don't deliberately pretend to be malicious, and even occasionally indulge myself to act recklessly... no one has ever doubted him or accused him. He actually did a lot of things that didn't fit the personality, but everyone took it for granted, as if he should have been like this, and the dandy and vicious is the false appearance.
Ji Ling was at a loss for a while, did these people love his disguise, or his real appearance under the disguise
In their eyes, what kind of person is he
... ... ...
Although Ji Ling neither went out nor responded to anyone's messages, news of Ji Ling's return still spread.
His Majesty personally marched and rescued Ji Ling from Gabriel!
The protagonist of the gossip center has finally returned to the Emperor Star, and all the nobles on the Emperor Star are scratching their hearts and lungs with curiosity, wanting to know what kind of attitude Ji Ling has. Although the war is raging outside and the common people are struggling to live, it doesn't seem to have any impact on the comfortable, extravagant and depraved Emperor Star. The place is still singing and dancing, and no one is worried about the safety here. Even if the sky outside is falling, what does it have to do with them
Compared with the war outside, they were obviously more interested in Ji Ling who provoked Jing Sui and Carlos to fight.
A few days later, Ji Ling welcomed the first batch of visitors.
Deng Dong, Luo Zi and several other dudes who used to have a good relationship with Ji Ling came to visit.
Ji Ling could have refused, but after a moment of contemplation, he still let people in, received them in his garden, and arranged for servants to bring food and wine to entertain his friends.
System: [I thought you didn't like this kind of entertainment.]
Ji Ling: [You don't know, this is called once and for all.]
system:[?]
Everyone sat in the garden, laughing and making noises, and talked about some interesting things that happened in the Emperor Star when Ji Ling was not around, watching Ji Ling's face carefully, resisting the curiosity that scratched the heart, and didn't know how to ask .
Ji Ling was not in a hurry, he just pretended not to notice their thoughts, and sat there leisurely and lazily.
Deng Dong looked at the blond boy on the chair. The boy's beautiful face was delicate and fair. He was bathed in the sun. His hair and eyelashes seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light. Same.
He has always been a bad man in the city, so he couldn't help it first, and asked curiously: "Ji Shao, are you really married to Grand Duke Carlos?"
There was a silence in the field, following Deng Dong's words, it seemed that the conversation box was completely opened.
Everyone asked out their curiosity.
"Ji Shao, is Ning Yu really Gabriel? He, did he torture you when he captured you? I heard that Gabriel hates nobles the most..."
"Ji Shao, Your Excellency Wen Yan didn't come back with you?"
"Ji Shao, what do you think about the fact that Grand Duke Carlos fought for you?"
"Fortunately, you are fine. Those untouchables are really disgusting. Don't worry, Young Master Ji. Sooner or later, His Majesty will kill those rebels to vent your anger on you!"
Ji Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, and chuckled lightly: "It's okay, too."
The nobleman who said that sentence was taken aback, and looked at Ji Ling in confusion, as if he didn't realize what Ji Ling was talking about and which sentence he was replying to.
Ji Ling said lightly: "I was indeed captured by Gabriel, but he didn't torture me, and he didn't hate the nobles that much. Everything he did was to win the interests of the common people. The rebels are not as strong as you think. Unbearable, I think that if Your Majesty is a wise king, he will not kill all the rebels."
Everyone stared blankly at Ji Ling, as if in a dream, what did they hear
Not only didn't Ji Ling curse angrily, he actually spoke for Gabriel and those untouchables
Is this still that arrogant and dandy nobleman? Could it be that he was brainwashed after being caught once? What happened to him? !
The scene was once very embarrassing.
In order to resolve the embarrassment, Ross laughed a few times and changed the subject: "By the way, I heard that His Majesty personally rescued you. It seems that His Majesty really cares about you!"
Ji Ling said, "Really? After I came back, he never came to see me."
Ross was taken aback.
They looked at Ji Ling's faintly lonely face, as if they didn't care about everything...
Has His Majesty really never been here? If he rescued Ji Ling with such a big fight, would he not be able to bear seeing Ji Ling
Deng Dong hesitated and said, "Maybe His Majesty is too busy?"
Ji Ling laughed at himself: "I don't know if he's busy or not, after all, I haven't contacted him."
Everyone was silent again, looking at Ji Ling with complex expressions of surprise and uncertainty. Not only did Ji Ling not meet His Majesty, he even lost contact
how can that be possible
Doesn't Your Majesty like Ji Ling the most? At the beginning, it was for him and Grand Duke Carlos, and now it even declares war directly.
Ji Ling lowered his eyes, lightly tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, and raised the corners of his mouth: "How can people's hearts never change?"
The field was silent again.
After a while, everyone stood up in embarrassment and said, "Ji Shao is right, I, I remembered that I have something to do later, so I left first."
I thought that after Ji Ling came back, he might become a queen, so they all came to hug their thighs. Who would have thought that His Majesty would not like Ji Ling? Judging by His Majesty's indifferent attitude, Ji Ling is clearly out of favor, right? I don't know what happened to him after he was captured by those untouchables and dirty rebels. He was either brainwashed or played with, maybe even... His Majesty must have discovered something, so he doesn't like him anymore.
What kind of person do you want as His Majesty? Why do you have to be obsessed with Ji Ling? It's normal to fall out of favor.
Tsk tsk tsk, Your Majesty didn't like Ji Ling at all before, but everyone was surprised when he suddenly liked Ji Ling, but now it seems that it was just a whim...
Ji Ling watched the people take their leave one by one with an indifferent expression, and smiled with the corners of his mouth up, saying that he can be professional!
Looking back, seeing Deng Dong and Luo Zi still staying at the end, he smiled and said, "Aren't you leaving?"
Ross was silent for a moment, and said, "Well, if His Majesty really doesn't like you, it doesn't matter..."
Deng Dong: "The big deal is that it will be the same as before."
Ji Ling finally showed a look of surprise. He never regarded them as friends before, but only pulled them out when he needed to get out of the plot, and he couldn't chat with these lawless dudes, but he didn't expect that a friend in adversity can tell the truth , To have two real friends, it can be regarded as a surprise.
Ji Ling paused, then bent his eyes and smiled: "Yes."
He sent all the guests away, slowly returned to his room, smiled and said to the system: [Look, I promise that no one will disturb me recently.]
system:[…]
Those people care about the hot Ji Ling, not Ji Ling who has fallen out of favor and been neglected by His Majesty. Presumably these people will bring the news out soon, which will save them a lot of trouble. As for whether there will be ugly rumors Ji Ling didn't care about the rumors at all, this was not his world.
He prefers this kind of relaxation to being roasted on the fire.
Because being promoted to the sky is easier to attract people's attention, to be envied, to be envied, to be hated, to be watched all the time...
And once they fall into the mire, people will probably forget it soon after stepping on a few feet.
Ji Ling leisurely spent a few days, and then looked at the news on the Internet. Sure enough, many people said that Ji Ling had fallen out of favor, and all kinds of cynicism and ridicule were directed at him. Quite a few, even full of foul language.
I thought it would last for a while before the heat would subside, but to Ji Ling's surprise, these remarks quickly disappeared.
The Internet gradually calmed down, and there were fewer and fewer people talking about Ji Ling. It seemed that someone was controlling the public opinion invisibly, deliberately making everything invisible, and gradually Ji Ling seemed to be a taboo that could not be mentioned.
Ji Ling said meaningfully to the system: [I thought someone really let go...]
System: [What?]
Ji Ling sighed, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Although he is really slow in some aspects and has no emotional experience, he is not so slow that he really doesn't know anything. It's not that he doesn't understand some things, but he just doesn't want to care about them and think about them carefully.
Regarding Jing Sui's liking for him, I couldn't believe it at first, but then...? Probably don't want to believe it.
What is the need to believe in feelings that are doomed to be unresponsive
... ... ...
A few days later, that night, Ji Ling was lying on the roof watching the stars.
Suddenly, I heard an excited voice from the system: [The result is out!]
Ji Ling said: [What result?]
The system said in one go: [It was our Space-Time Management Bureau's mistake to let you travel to an unfinished article. It allowed you to travel here without confirming whether there is any abnormality in this world. I am very sorry, but as compensation, the committee agrees to revive you and go home directly!]
A look of surprise finally appeared on Ji Ling's calm face: [Go home directly?]
The system said firmly: [Yes.]
Ji Ling said with a blank face: [You never told me before that you can go home directly, you only said that you would help me apply for a change of task.]
The system said embarrassingly: [The first application I submitted was indeed to change tasks, but at the same time I submitted another application for compensation... I'm not sure if it will be approved, the possibility is very small, I don't want to let you down, So I didn't say it at first.]
Ji Ling blinked lightly, he finally got the result he dreamed of, but probably because of waiting too long, he was not as excited as he imagined, but his eyes seemed a little sour.
He took a deep breath and said, [How should I leave?]
The system said: [It's very simple, as long as you die and escape, I will take you back to your world.]
Ji Ling murmured: [It's as simple as that...]
The system said: [Yes.]
The system is very happy for the host, he knows how much the host wants to go home, but at this moment he suddenly heard Ji Ling say: [If I die, what will happen to this world?]
The system was a little surprised, but still replied: [Because this world is an abnormal world, it will be temporarily put on hold until the committee develops a new solution. It may be formatted and restarted, or it may be sealed, or choose other options. It is possible for the host to perform other tasks... But these have nothing to do with you, you don't need to worry about any problems.]
Yes, he is leaving.
None of this has anything to do with him...
Ji Ling sat up from the roof, jumped down and returned to the room, took out a small fruit-peeling knife from the drawer, and stretched out his wrist to gesture. See blue veins under the skin...
His right hand tightly gripped the handle of the knife, so hard that his knuckles turned white.
You don't need to think so much, and you don't need to hesitate. You just need to cut down and you can go home...
This should have been a very simple matter, and it was also something he had been looking forward to for a long time.
But why did he hesitate at this moment
