Chapter 1068 The End and a New Beginning
Li Huanyue left. As expected, she had the same attitude as usual. She didn't ask anything except what she should do. After answering King Solomon's question, she threw the "guiltless" crown in front of Lin Nian with her own hands. , had no interest in leaning over to put it on for the boy, nor did he want to stay and watch the joyful cheering scene. After saying what needed to be said and doing what needed to be done, he turned around and left through the side door where he came from, leaving behind a clean and tidy figure.
The 'Emperor' finally said nothing more. After Li Hueyue said that, he fell into silence.
It probably took him a short while to figure out the reason why Li Hueyue did this. After understanding it, he didn't say anything angrily. He just chose to accept his failure in this hearing from beginning to end.
Since you have failed, don't continue struggling, otherwise it will be ugly. Accepting the victory of others calmly is also a process that must be experienced. It's just that he didn't expect to lose so completely, and he still lost to someone other than her.
"It's so heartbreaking," He said.
"I'm happy when I see you unhappy." Lu Mingfei blurted out. Although he didn't know why Orthodoxy suddenly jumped back and supported Lin Nian, he actually didn't care much. He felt that with today's situation and atmosphere, When a dog passed by, it barked and rushed over to help Lin Nian yell at these idiots.
"Is there anything else you want to say or do?" Lin Nian asked.
"No more." He shook his head and looked indifferently towards the side door where Li Xueyue left. "You have even reached this step. I admit that you have grown a lot and you have reached a point where I can't even ignore you."
"But that's not the end, is it?"
"Yeah. Yes." He nodded slightly and said in a gentle tone, "At the end of the game, the winner is rejoicing and enjoying the taste of victory, while the loser is frustrated and angry, secretly planning the next game. The beginning. The game is so consistent, going back and forth, never stopping, until one party completely loses its fighting spirit and is expelled forever, and the winner will usher in a new challenger."
"How many times have you gone through this process?"
"Too many times." The 'Emperor' said lightly, "Too many to remember. I always win, but occasionally I lose. Because it is so rare, every time I lose, I am deeply impressed. , it’s the same this time.”
"What is your purpose?" Lin Nian asked in a low voice, "Why do you keep pestering me?"
The emperor slowly looked up and sighed.
A realm was released from his body, wrapping the entire hearing conference hall silently and softly, like a membrane, blocking all sights, arguments, and emotions to the outside, leaving only him and Lin Nian standing there. In the middle of this chaotic hearing, standing at the most crowded intersection in a bustling city, the black crowd passed by the two of them, leaving a quiet space for them in the noise.
Lin Nian did not stop what he was doing. He believed that the 'Emperor' was indeed his enemy, but he also believed that the 'Emperor' would not do something that would harm his own style at some point. With the confrontation and negotiation, He gradually began to figure out what kind of temperament this 'person' had.
"Lin Nian, although you have always been an ignorant child in my eyes, the facts tell me that you have indeed grown up quickly in the ordeal. I believe Elena will not say nothing to you, because you will definitely ask."
After everything was done, the 'Emperor' said, "So she must have felt very distressed, so she carefully considered some specious past events and told them to you in the form of stories, just like she always tells a child about the scary beast in the story before putting him to bed. Grandma Wolf, so that you can have goals and stay motivated. Even at night, when you feel worried and uneasy, you can hold her tightly and she will give you strength and security - she always That doesn’t surprise me.”
The emperor's voice was not loud, just loud enough for Lin Nian to hear. It should be said that both Lu Mingfei and Patsy could hear his words clearly. But the strange thing was that when he said these words, the two No one reacted at all, just like a background playing monotonously.
"She did tell me some truths, so I have some guesses about your real purpose, but they are not accurate." Lin Nian said.
He paused silently and said: "Sometimes you and her are like two extremes but have something in common with each other. It's like you say you never lie, but she is a liar who is a good liar. I believe you don't She knows how to lie, so I believe that every word you say is a cruel trap; I believe that every word she says to me is sincerely for my own good, so I believe she must be trying to lie to me all the time."
"It seems that you get along very well indeed. You have gained her trust, and she has gained your trust, which is good." said the 'Emperor'.
"I don't think you are happy to see this scene." Lin Nian looked at him and said, "But in my guess, you don't want to see me and her passionate."
"When you say passionate, do you mean that she will sneak into your bed at night?" The 'Emperor' made a rare gag and said helplessly, "She has always been like this about the things she likes, and she will always get what she wants. What's more, it's just something as trivial as physical pleasure - or, in other words, spiritual pleasure! She doesn't have a suitable body, so from this point of view, you and her have been on the bed so many times. It’s not considered physical cheating, but at most it’s considered spiritual cheating?”
"What are you talking about?" Lin Nian frowned, but he looked away.
"I can see that you are very conservative, but in my opinion, this kind of conservativeness is unnecessary." The 'Emperor' smiled, "I have no intention of being your life mentor, because this matter should be done by someone else. , but she seems to be particularly clumsy about this aspect of the matter. So I’m going to do it for the time being.”
The 'Emperor' looked back at Lin Nian with eyes that were neither domineering nor mysterious, but simply instructive with a normal heart: "You have always seemed to attach great importance to your hard-won love, but in fact Love is like wine. When it is most charming, it is always shrouded in light in the display cabinet of the wine cellar. The less you can get it, the more it will continue to ferment and become more mellow; once you get it, It is determined to uncork her bottle. No matter how rare you are, it will deteriorate over time and taste bland until it is difficult to eat. Then you will give up on her and turn around and run to your wine cellar."
He spoke slowly, as if reciting some ancient prophecy, "Anything that you desire to possess will bloom all the time. Once you possess it, it will begin to wither."
Lin Nian finished listening and did not make any comments.
The 'Emperor' didn't know if he heard it, but he just finished what he said and stopped talking nonsense.
He himself doesn’t like to talk about love because He thinks it is meaningless and can only be regarded as the joy of satisfying desires. Perhaps because He is good at using love to achieve his own goals and has done so many times, But after all, He still despises and despises this kind of emotion that has a shelf life.
"We are enemies after all." He turned back, "You know, I won't lie, but I won't answer some questions for you."
"Then keep the answer in your stomach." Lin Nian said, "I will find it myself."
"That's how it should be. This time, you chose the secret party and your friends. This is a risky move, but it turns out that the shortest way is indeed to take a long detour, and going deviant is not an option."
said the emperor.
"When you were 6 years old, your sister held your hand and took you secretly to a shopping street illuminated by cabinet lights at night. At that time, you thought in your heart that she was everything to you. She led you through a street. After a while, it's up to you to take her through a city and a world. This has become the only cornerstone of your life, your only belief, so you are very pure and can move forward in everything you do."
"But now your belief is no longer limited to this, it is no longer pure. It has an additional position as a brother, lover, and friend beside the cornerstone of your family. This means that you will become more solid and condensed. But this also increases There are many disadvantages. If one day, when your only belief collides with everything you have new, what will you choose?"
"I'll try not to let that happen." Lin Nian said calmly.
"But this is bound to happen, or in other words, it has already happened." He sighed softly, and then raised his head after a moment of silence, "Today is indeed a good day, maybe this is also your sister secretly Giving you blessings for everything that comes? I hope you can think so, because she does love you very much and hopes you can make the right choice."
"Where is she now?" Lin Nian asked.
"I won't tell you." The 'Emperor' said calmly, "You know this. But you can rest assured that she is safe, safer than anyone else, and has not been coerced in any way, including me."
Lin Nian listened indifferently, not angry at the 'emperor''s wanton evaluation of the person he loved, just like a calmly burning fire releasing light and warmth.
"Lin Nian, do you really understand your sister? Do you understand 'Lin Xian'?"
He raised his head slightly and looked at the mural depicting the grand mythology in the Hall of Valor. Odin was prancing on the eight-legged horse, the thunder-wrapped divine spear pierced the chest of the evil dragon, and thousands of bones gathered under their feet to form an ancient and eternal battlefield. .
"Actually, you have always known that there have always been contradictions and mysteries in her that you cannot understand, but you have always been unwilling to ask about them. In the past, your life revolved around this woman Lin Xian. She knows you better than you know yourself, so you think you know her. On the road she has walked, you may have known that she was hiding something from you, but you didn't care because you were willing to accept her hiding something from you. No matter what she hides, you will always love everything about her unconditionally. This is the reason why you let her go without any limit."
Lin Nian remained silent.
"But it's different now. You have a new creed, you have a new love. She may still be the most important part of your life, but she is no longer your only one. So you have responsibilities. Motivation began to try to dig out those issues that had been avoided and turned a blind eye." The 'Emperor' stared at the grand mythical scene and whispered, "From today on, you are no longer pure, so the future is set It will dissolve, and moving forward will be a brand new battlefield, and no one can see the final stage. I am looking forward to it, and I believe you are too. And so is she."
"I'll look forward to it too," Lin Nian said.
After a moment of silence, the 'Emperor' shook his head, "The time is coming, I should go."
Lin Nian did not move because he knew that the 'Emperor' could come and go as he pleased. He could have left when he was subdued by Lu Mingfei, Passi and himself, but he chose to stay and accept this trial. . There was a sense of being desperate in it, or maybe he simply wanted to have a chat with Lin Nian and the others, using words to give some hints and plots he had prepared for the next plot.
"Before I leave, is there anything you want me to take with you, or is there anything you want me to deliver to her?" The 'Emperor' looked at Lin Nian and asked, "If there is anything, wrap it up and send it by express delivery." Send it to the previous rental house and I will hand it over to her."
"Are you so kind?"
"My relationship with you is indeed very tense. In fact, you are the only one who is very nervous about me. So this does not mean that she and I have any irreconcilable conflicts. On the contrary, she and I have always gotten along very harmoniously. She has no academic problems." They always ask me questions, because I do know a lot more than many people." The 'Emperor' tilted his head, "She was very busy for a while because you were studying and fighting and you had to prepare for the exam. time, but I helped her cheat."
Lin Nian was slightly startled, as if he saw a familiar shadow on the 'Emperor', but it was only for a moment.
"That's all." He lowered his red eyes and said, "Maybe the news that you successfully counterattacked me this time is the best birthday gift for her today, right? In every She deserves the comfort she deserves on the Suffering Day of 2020. You have been very considerate every year in the past, but this year you are not by her side, but you have prepared the best gifts."
"Farewell here for now, Lin Nian." The emperor slowly stood up from the ground, using the body of Andrew Gattuso, he turned and looked at Lin Nian, "The time is almost up, the 'invitation' is very It will be delivered to you soon, and we will meet again soon, it won’t be long.”
"I'll wait for that day."
The 'Emperor' smiled and closed his eyes.
The field that shrouded the hearing melted like ice and snow, just like a muted TV program turned on the volume again. The noise and noise suddenly filled Lin Nian's hearing. He watched the person in front of him fall down like a doll in an instant after the field faded. A man with no trouble in his eyes.
Passy and Lu Mingfei were shocked by Andrew Gattuso's strange behavior. They didn't even realize when this guy stood up! It was as if they had completely ignored each other's existence for a short period of time before. This made their hearts instantly ring with alarm bells, and a strange chill arose in their hearts.
It was just when Patsy and Lu Mingfei were holding each other's shoulders that they suddenly realized that the man had lost the strength to support him as if he had no bones, and fell straight to the ground. If they hadn't pulled him, this man would have lost his strength. It would probably crack that tall and handsome nose.
"What's going on?" Lu Mingfei was a little surprised and looked at the unconscious Andre Gattuso with his eyes closed.
"He's gone." Lin Nian glanced at the man on the ground.
Patsy quickly checked Andrew's breathing, pulse, and heartbeat. "The physiological status is normal."
"Try to wake him up." Lu Mingfei squatted aside and pointed, "Pinch the person, right here. If you have strong hands, come on."
Without Lu Mingfei's teaching, Patsy knew what to do, from patting his cheek and calling his name, to shaking his body and stimulating pain, but Andre Gattuso remained as motionless as if he had died in sleep.
"First send it to the on-campus hospital for diagnosis, and then ask Teacher Masashi Toyama from the Psychology Department to come over and see if he can be of any help." Lin Nian quickly commanded, "Don't delay. If you can revive him early, you may be able to get some information about the Emperor." 'More details on Yanling."
The blockade alert was temporarily lifted, and several people from the Lionheart Club quickly ran over, picked up Andre Gattuso, and rushed towards the door. Most of the students still had different looks on their faces, lowering their voices and discussing fiercely with their peers. The whole hearing was boiling, and everyone seemed to be interested in the wonderful things that happened in this atypical hearing. Zhuan Cheng Kai He felt endless aftertaste and just wanted to keep digging to find out more details and foreshadowings.
King Solomon on the high platform looked up at Andrew Gattuso who was being carried to the door, and then looked at the chaotic conference hall. He also felt that this chaotic hearing should come to an end.
The strong invasion of foreign enemies, coupled with a perfect counterattack, this exciting occasion is really not conducive to making some judgments that go against the atmosphere. In other words, the result of this judgment has already been revealed when the true identity of the 'Emperor' is exposed. It's doomed.
He took the gavel, raised it, and knocked it down.
The gavel struck, and the echo was heard.
The buzzing hearing hall gradually became quiet. Looking at King Solomon, the expressions on the faces of everyone who came back to their senses began to show a hint of expectation.
King Solomon felt that he should respond to this expectation. He looked at the jury. The jury had already finished their discussion. Several solemn old people looked at him and gave him the same look and emotion. There was no need to say anything. The official award will be read out.
"Attention, fellow hearing members."
King Solomon put down his gavel, looked at Lin Nian under the high platform, and announced in a calm voice: "After a comprehensive review of the charges faced by Lin Nian, the person under trial in this hearing, according to the provisions of the "Abraham Blood Covenant" and the evidence, Conclusively, this court believes that his guilty behavior cannot be proven. Therefore, this court announces that all the charges against Lin Nian, the person on trial in this hearing, have been dropped, and Lin Nian is found not guilty. This case was won by Lin Nian! Thank you to the jury for their careful review With an objective and fair attitude, this hearing is now officially concluded.”
Before the last word was finished, the door on one side of the conference hall for witnesses was pushed open, and a loud voice interrupted King Solomon's reading.
—
I don’t know how many times this has happened at the hearing, but everyone still can’t get used to it, because previous experience tells them that this hearing seems to be cursed, and every interruption will bring more troubles. Shocking change.
So this time is no exception.
King Solomon raised his brows and looked over there in surprise. He saw that the person who came was actually Li Hueyue. This orthodox 'S' class who had already withdrawn reappeared in the hearing for some reason. He quickly walked towards the speech with a cold and solemn expression. seats. He didn't stop her, because she seemed to walk with a human wind that could cut her, and her eyes contained a coldness as sharp as her alchemy sword.
She walked directly in front of Lin Nian. Lin Nian met her eyes and heard her say coldly, "Something happened."
"What happened?" Lu Mingfei subconsciously looked in the direction where Andrew Gattuso was being carried out, "The guy jumped up and ran when he got out?"
Li Huanyue didn't look at him. She just circled around and looked at all the looks from the young mixed-race people at the hearing. She raised her hand and picked up a mobile phone. Lin Nian, who was nearby, glanced at the screen above and his expression gradually changed. It got colder.
While Lu Mingfei was still trying to see the picture on the phone screen clearly, he tried to take a glance and found that it was actually an unknown website. The style and structure were somewhat similar to the Night Watch Forum. A bold post was pushed to the forum. At the top, his posting time was three minutes ago, but the number of replies has reached an astonishing thousands, and a red "HOT" symbol was also added to the corner of the post!
Lu Mingfei saw clearly some words in the title of the post, and the moment he saw it clearly, his expression changed.
"Attention everyone, this is a bell-ringing warning from the orthodox to all allied forces. The secrets of the dragon clan that the hybrids have guarded for thousands of years are about to be leaked!" Li Hueyue said with a cold and murderous voice, the nuclear bomb-like secret was about to be revealed! The news was announced to the audience: "Three minutes ago, a latest bounty appeared on the hunter website. The ID named 'Prince' announced that a dragon named 'Fenrisulfr' has awakened in Beigan, China, and is recruiting active hunters around the world to kill him. , the reward amount is 100 million US dollars!”
The whole place was dead silent.
At just the right time, the bell tower of Kassel College rang the twelve o'clock bell, and the white doves soared in the blue sky. The bells echoed throughout the mountaintop college, just like charging towards the door of destiny when it was pushed open. The melodious horns floated above the heads of the warriors.
Lin Nian turned to look outside the sunny Hall of Valor. He knew that a new game had begun, and the invitation to this game had been sent to him, waiting for him to come.
And at the same time.
By the artificial lake of Kassel College, Xiawang, who was sitting on the top of the highest rock in the rockery, suddenly turned around when he heard the grand and long-lasting ancient bell. Then he saw the white doves flying on the tops of the willow trees, and also saw the blazing midday sun that was about to fall, and the world full of flowers and sunshine in the clear eyes as blue as the sky slowly flowed amidst the sound of the bells.
ps: The hearing is over, the pace is slowing down, and we are ready to start the real story.
