Chapter 498 Leniency for Confession

Seeing what he had said, Huai Shi's reaction was so calm. Lin Jiujiu suddenly took a breath of air. As expected of a teacher, whenever he had to calm down during big events, he could be so calm. It was really scary.

He thought for a moment and said, "Because it involves the internal issues of the Ivory Tower, it's a long story... First of all, teacher, how much do you know about the Ivory Tower?"

Huai Shi thought for a long time, then reached out and took out a brochure from his pocket.

"I know everything that is said above, and I have basically never heard of anything that is not mentioned above."

"..."

Doesn’t this mean there is no such thing?

Lin Shijiu was about to speak but stopped.

He didn't even inquire about the specific situation of the work unit and just came to take up the post. Is he too stubborn as a teacher? Or is this the margin for the strong? With a sword in hand, can the world be conquered?

Completely ignoring the possibility that Huai Shi was just a fool out of habit.

He thought for a long time and asked tentatively: "Then...shall I start from the beginning?"

Huai Shi waved his hand: "Hurry up, hurry up."

"Uh, cough..."

Lin Jiu started to have a headache and didn't know how to explain it.

The actual situation in Gein's Ivory Tower is too weird.

As we all know, although the Ivory Tower belongs to the Astronomical Society in theory, in fact after the split of the Republic, it became a highly closed independent institution. There is basically no room for others to intervene in terms of funding sources or personnel appointments.

Even the governing bureau has no direct jurisdiction over it. After the formal recruitment, it has been known for its openness and neutrality. Apart from normal business activities, it has basically never taken any proactive actions, and its style is quite low-key.

But because its size is so huge, its existence cannot be ignored.

Whether it is the numerous research results launched by the college every year, the countless industries directly and indirectly controlled, the important position in the genealogy of the Kingdom of Heaven, or even the extremely far-reaching and huge influence in all aspects... every part is enough to be coveted.

This has led to many people starting to think of building an ivory tower..."

Power itself has gravitational pull, and there will be a steady stream of moths flocking to the flames.

I want to take a piece of the pot that has lost its owner.

Of course, it is not that no one has thought about occupying the magpie's nest.

But in fact, there is no such possibility.

As an institution directly affiliated with the Utopia and once the logistics supply department of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Ivory Tower can be said to be the last remaining crystallization of the Utopia on earth.

Neither the Astronomical Society, the Administration, nor the many members of the Utopia who survived the separatist war would allow this great power to fall by the wayside.

Even the principal of the Ivory Tower is only the guardian of this right, not the real owner of the school.

Unless the Astronomical Society rebuilds the Utopia, a new president is born from the tripartite meeting, and the Book of Destiny once again welcomes a new king of the heavenly lineage, otherwise, no one in this world can legitimately exercise this power.

Therefore, more people choose to settle for the next best thing.

Since you can't have power, then penetrate it, make yourself a part of it, or at least bind yourself to the power.

Except for a few big figures in the world who would disdain this, everyone else who comes close should have this idea in mind.

Since he was born, he has been exposed to the culture of doing evil all year round, and Lin Shijiu is very familiar with this.

Compared with other confidential departments, the easiest one to penetrate and control in the Ivory Tower is the academy department, which is composed of a large number of external professors and students.

Openness itself means circulation, neutrality means riding on the wall, and inclusiveness itself means a hodgepodge.

The diversity of components in the academy is simply astonishing.

This can be seen from the composition of the teaching and research section itself - Eastern Xia, Rome, America, Russia, Egypt... Which of the major genealogies in the world does not have anyone working in the Ivory Tower?

Not to mention, various organizations such as the Stone Cauldron Society, Bronze Eyes, etc. may even have people from Green Sun in them——

"Including teachers, aren't they also representatives of the governing bureau?"

Hearing Lin Jiu's sudden words, Huai Shi's face was confused.

I'm here to learn and make progress. How come you turned me into a spy?

No, when I think about it...

After thinking about it carefully, he realized: He was probably, maybe, maybe... was he really forced in by the command bureau in order to strengthen its authority in the Ivory Tower?

Otherwise, why would an executioner and former inspector of the Astronomical Society come to the school?

Could it be that he really wants to be a teacher? !

Even Huai Shi felt that this arrangement was too damn outrageous.

The most important thing is, the school hasn't started yet, why am I a teenager again? And he seems to be the one with the most awesome background among a bunch of young men?

But why didn't even he himself know that he was from the second or fifth generation?

Huai Shi was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes and looked at the hut in the forest where he was chatting.

I decided to go with my instinct and test it without leaving any trace first.

Then, he showed a strange expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. He just knocked on the armrest of the sofa and looked at the young man in front of him: "Then what do you think the command bureau sent me to do?"

He said gently: "Don't be nervous, let's talk about it, let the teacher show me what the Lin family's Xiaojiu is capable of."

His tone was gentle, his expression was warm, and his attitude was like a spring breeze blowing against his face, but Lin Jiujiu, who was busy showing off his intelligence, was stunned for a moment.

Subconsciously aware that something is wrong.

Especially when he was glanced at with that kind of unclear meaning, he realized: Damn it, he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

Faced with the teacher's words that implied examination and warning, he did not dare not answer.

After muttering for a long time, I really couldn't stand the pressure and replied: "Student Qianjian, the teacher may not be here to seek the rights of the ivory tower - if I guessed correctly, it should be the principal's intention."

"Oh?" Huai Shi raised his eyebrows.

Seeing Huai Shi's reaction, Lin Shijiu breathed a sigh of relief, his mind was spinning, and he realized the most likely truth:

"Yes, it is precisely because he knows that the governing bureau will not usurp the remaining powers of the former ideal country so openly that the principal plans to use the teacher as a sharp edge to intimidate those with evil intentions in the teaching and research department!"

"well said!"

Huai Shi smiled while stroking her palms, her expression becoming more and more pleased.

Finally realizing that the hidden 'chill' in the teacher's eyes had disappeared, Lin Shijiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that there was a cold feeling on the shirt on his back, and he was already soaked with sweat.

In just a few seconds, it seemed like he had experienced endless suffering and struggle.

He was frightened for a while and did not dare to speak anymore.

But Huaishi didn't go as he wished.

After a short silence, Huai Shi stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, as if staring at the scenery outside the window, but suddenly asked quietly:

"Then Xiaojiu thinks, who are the people with evil intentions?"

"..."

Lin Jiu's expression twitched.

Knowing that this was a test from his teacher, he did not dare to evade or be vague, nor did he dare to say that he did not know.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and replied: "According to the students' private guesses, the main ones should undoubtedly be those pure-blood families."

In order to prevent himself from getting involved, he is going to start selling his teammates!

Huai Shi looked back at him with an expression of surprise.

He seemed surprised by his answer.

This made Lin Shijiu more certain that his frankness just now was correct. If he hadn't already known about it, how could the teacher ask him these questions so purposefully?

Fortunately, I followed the old man's arrangement and came here today. Otherwise, if I had rashly mixed up with those idiots, would I have been able to avoid being listed on the list in the future?

He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he had seized the opportunity and was not regarded as a kid with ulterior motives by this murderous teacher. With fear in my heart, I poured out all my experiences and speculations over the past few days, like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

Among them were those pure-blood families that even Huai Shi was confused about.

To be honest, he himself didn't expect that after leaving the Stars, he would still be related to this group of people.

But now that I think about it, I find that if the sublimated ones want to make a difference, those pure-blooded ones cannot be spared no matter what.

These families may have existed long before the birth of the Astronomical Society.

Since the founding of the Astronomical Society, they have been inextricably linked with the pioneer society at that time, and many family heads even held important positions in the first generation of the Astronomical Society.

Up to now, in addition to the intricate relationships in the Astronomical Society, every pure-blood family has more or less special influence and status in the Wuchang.

Just look at the Fred family representing the Howlers on the Stars in the past, and you will know how illustrious it is - such a huge Stars, so magnificent that it is like a dreamy moving border, for the Fred family, it is just It's just a small industry.

It can be said that there are now more than seventy pure-blood families, and each of them is the pinnacle that the old man of the Yin family once only dreamed of climbing to. Even if he could become the worst one, it would be enough for a country bumpkin with a shallow background like the Yin family to laugh out of his coffin.

They are themselves important parts, even the backbone, of each lineage.

Among them... naturally, it also includes existences like Yuan and Lin.

That's right, not only the original photo of Huai Shi's good brother, but also Xiao Jiu in front of him is actually a pure-blooded sublimator with upright roots.

Otherwise, how could he be accepted by the brotherhoods and societies formed by purebloods in the Tower of Ivory, and then find out the relevant news?

"Like you know-"

Lin Jiujiu explained clearly: "Including the Howlers, the Immovable Ones, the Sugawara family, the Ptolemaic family, etc., the purebloods have been constantly trying to expand their influence in the Ivory Tower in recent years. He used his own strength to support his agents to join the teaching and research section...and then to a certain extent control the power inside the ivory tower. Now they are the ones standing in the way!"

Huaishi looked confused.

How did I know it!

I've never heard of it, okay?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown and glanced back.

Scanned by the teacher's eyes that hinted at 'dissatisfaction' and 'questioning', the face in the forest house became more and more frightened, and he defended himself in a panic: "The student just heard a little bit of news by chance, and definitely did not interfere with it beyond his reach." ——”

Fearing that he would be brutally murdered on the first day of his apprenticeship and that the teacher would clear him out of the family, Lin Shijiu could not wait to rush forward, crying and begging Huai Shi to sign the contract prepared by his great-grandfather.

It’s not that I don’t have it. Our Lin family is not on the same side as them. Teacher, you must believe me!

Huai Shi becomes more and more confused.

I can't figure out what happened at all.

Why did this stupid kid start crying while talking?

In a daze, he held his chin, thought for a moment, analyzed carefully, and then suddenly realized: This child...could he be bullied by those pure-bloods because he was too young?

The original 5,000 words were deleted, deleted, edited and delayed until now. I am very sorry - thank you all for your understanding. I tried my best not to let go.

Let's see if we can straighten out the outline and speed up the pace in the next two days.
