Chapter 514 War and Peace (Thanks to the Leader of Feimute1983)
"teacher?"
Huaishi's whole body was numb.
He got up from the sofa with difficulty and looked at the old ghost in front of him: "When did you become my teacher?"
"University is a place for learning, Huaishi. Time is short! Do you want to spend four years in vain?"
The principal grinned and looked at the young man on the sofa: "Besides, as a former candidate for the Book of Destiny and a world-famous educator, is there anyone more suitable for this status than me?"
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "I have a hunch that we will have a wonderful time in the past four years!"
"It's going to be awesome!"
Huai Shi was furious: "Have you not learned Chinese well?"
"Oh, I am a substitute professor of advanced mathematics and history of philosophy and an archaeologist - do you want to see my degree certificate in Dongxia language? It must be better than a high school student."
Huai Shi couldn't help but sneer: "What a coincidence. Do you want to see my fifty diplomas from world-famous schools?!"
"But there's no linguistics in it," Russell cautioned.
"..."
Huaishi is stuck.
Although he wanted to refute him and say you farted, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed... it seemed... it really didn't?
"Don't think about it, it really doesn't happen."
Russell whistled, "I sent it to you, I know it very well."
"So what exactly are you going to do?"
Huai Shi was almost furious: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you want to kill me or chop me into pieces, can't you just be more happy?"
"It's not that exaggerated."
Russell waved his hand, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "I just think that I should be responsible for you."
"Don't bother me! We had no grudges in the past and have no grudges in recent times. This is even the first time we have met. Don't take responsibility!"
In a paralyzed state, Huai Shi's head shook like a rattle.
Scared.
Whoever lets this old bastard take responsibility will be in trouble for eight lifetimes!
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to."
Russell hugged the cat and waved his hand magnanimously: "The Tower of Ivory is also my own voice. If young people have any different opinions, they can put forward them. Do I still hate you because you refuted my face?"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked at Huai Shi, looking forward to the next reply.
"——Don't you want to?"
Huai Shi rolled her eyes and ignored him completely.
"Then since everyone has no objections, the matter will be settled."
So, after a fair and democratic resolution, Russell clapped his hands neatly and settled the matter.
Then, he put away the six machine guns that were almost poking Huai Shi's forehead. He picked up the cat in his arms and threw it on Huai Shi.
Bang.
Huai Shi couldn't move yet, she only felt like she was punched heavily in the stomach.
His face instantly turned green.
This cat...why is it so heavy?
The old bastard wants to harm me!
"Let this be a greeting gift from the teacher." Russell said with a smile.
"Meeting gift?" Huai Shi struggled hard, propped up a little from the sofa, looked at the fat cat in his arms, and frowned: "Just give me a cat? That's too stingy!"
"Speak to it with respect."
Russell shook his head and reminded, "It is very cold. If you anger it, it might give you some face..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the cat had fallen into Huai Shi's arms very affectionately, being caressed by Huai Shi casually, shaking its little head and rubbing his hand.
After getting up and licking his face twice, his two paws were happily stepping on the milk on Huai Shi's belly.
Meowing happily.
"Isn't this such a cute, well-behaved and easy-to-knead look?"
Huai Shi raised the orange cat with both hands and glanced down: "Oh, she is still a big girl... Where is the coldness? By the way, what did you just say?"
Russell's expression suddenly became complicated.
Recalling the tragic past of being scratched several times on my face, I was so speechless that I couldn't express it.
Huai Shi petted the cat and finally felt a little happier: "What's its name?"
""War and Peace"."
"What?"
"Yes, it's War and Peace."
Russell sighed: "Before the Utopia was divided, there were many things like records that were unwilling to be lonely. They would choose their favorite members of the heavenly genealogy, enter into contracts, and become partners and companions with each other. Just like "Lord of the Flies" and Orton, " Gone with the Wind like Ms. Chaser—"
Following Russell's words, the orange cat in Huai Shi's hand turned into a broken book. Even the cover was incomplete, and the contents inside were even more blurry.
"Only half?" Huai Shi frowned.
"Yes, among the records that were rescued and excavated from the wreckage of the Kingdom of Heaven at that time, it was the most pitiful one - it was not even one-third of its current size, it was dying, and it has not recovered after so many years." Russell sighed, " But now we are out of danger, I hope it can return to its former self in your hands."
The incomplete book transformed into the shape of a fat cat again, with four paws pulling at Huai Shi's body, as if he was afraid that Huai Shi would leave it here.
Huaishi felt helpless for a while.
Okay, it’s just a cat. There is such a big horse at home, is there still a need for such a cat meal?
"I hope you don't eat too much."
Huai Shi rubbed its head and made no further objection: "Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
"Since there is only half a copy, its nature is difficult to stabilize. You have to remember this: "It will always be changing.
The color in the normal state does not matter, but when it becomes a black cat, it is a state of war, and when it becomes a white cat, it is a state of peace - but this is actually a rule. "
Russell warned, "Usually every Monday, Wednesday and Friday is the 'Code of War', which brings with it a wide-area offensive buff, and Tuesday, Thursday and Friday is the 'Peace Treaty', which can exert a restorative halo on the group."
"What about Sunday?" Huai Shi asked.
“It’s closed on Sunday.”
Russell shrugged: "You can't expect a cat to go to work every day, right?"
It's okay to have Sunday off.
Huai Shi looked at the fat cat in front of her and began to wonder: Does this thing have some French origin?
"Okay, stop looking."
Russell waved his hand: "Go home and watch it slowly."
"..."
Huai Shi was stunned for a long time, scratched his head, a little unsure: "Is this the end?"
"Otherwise? Kill you?"
Russell seemed to be amused and glanced over: "That is indeed the easiest way, and... I once wanted to kill you, Huai Shi."
Looking at Huai Shi with such calm eyes, his scalp went numb.
Couldn't help but move back a little.
But Russell paused and shook his head mockingly: "But it's useless even if I kill you, isn't it?
When the Utopia was still there, I had been working hard to become its record officer since I was fourteen years old, and I dreamed of that day coming.
Even after the Kingdom of Heaven fell, I never gave up searching. But until now, it has never chosen me. "
"I've already lost," he said.
"Since those glorious times have passed, why should I cling on to the joy of the past so shamelessly?"
“If it had been forty years earlier, I might have been able to think about how to rebuild the Utopia, clean up the mess, and restore the old outlook.
But now I don’t have that much energy. Even when I’m free, all I think about every day is how to build the world’s largest swimsuit paradise in the Ivory Tower, where hot girls in bikinis laugh and laugh 24 hours a day. Running under the sun.
When I die of old age on a beach chair, there will be many busty female students wiping tears for the passing of their idols... How wonderful. Why waste the last days of your life after wasting your whole life on meaningless things? "
The old man turned back, stared at Huai Shi, and told him calmly: "Those are all problems you should face, aren't they?"
Huai Shi was silent and unable to answer.
To be fair, Huai Shi himself knew how mocking his existence was to Russell. And Russell's efforts on this were huge and painful.
But the Utopia was finally shattered, and just maintaining the ivory tower was almost exhausting his life's time and effort.
Even Huai Shi himself felt that even if it took him a lifetime, he might not be able to clean up the mess and problems represented by the Book of Destiny.
Not to mention rebuilding that glorious ideal country.
He could feel Russell's confusion.
As early as the beginning, Huai Shi had felt fear and apprehension about the existence of the Book of Destiny, and couldn't wait to get rid of this too dangerous and too heavy mission.
But with subsequent experiences, his thoughts gradually changed.
And after countless cycles and trials in the celestial sphere of all things, even though no detailed memory has been retained, Huai Shi gradually no longer contradicts the meaning it represents.
Just after Russell exposed Huai Shi's biggest secret, facing the owner of the Tower of Ivory, a real veteran and crowned person, what he wanted to think about was not to hand over the Book of Destiny, but to fight to the death.
It wasn't until that moment that he suddenly discovered that the Book of Destiny had become an indispensable part of his life.
It is no longer possible to separate.
"It seems you have figured something out."
Russell chuckled softly: "It's always a good thing to have some understanding. I hope you can continue to maintain this determination in the future."
Following his words, the leaving elevator opened again behind Huai Shi.
But Huaishi didn't move.
After hesitating, he suddenly asked: "Don't you want to see it?"
For a moment, Russell's shoulders shook slightly.
The old man turned his back to him and never looked back.
"No." He said, "It's not necessary..."
As he spoke, Russell raised his head and looked up at the illusory projection above the sky, "I can see it here every day, there's nothing surprising about it - have you seen it today, Huaishi?"
"Yeah." Huai Shi nodded.
"Very good, it's time for you to go, Huai Shi." He waved his hand, "New teachers are not qualified to stay here for too long. I want to see you for a while longer, so I won't send you off."
Before leaving, Huaishi looked back at the lonely figure under the complicated matrix one last time and said nothing.
The elevator door is closed.
It's stuck again... There's something wrong with the plot of the new volume, and I'm revising the outline. It's really hard for me.
Also, it’s the end of the month. In the last few days, everyone remember to vote monthly~
