Chapter 513 Russell (Thanks to Suotong’s Leader)

In an instant, sudden silence came.

In the long silence, Huai Shi finally realized what he had said.

He immediately froze on the spot and fell into shock.

He was really trying hard to be shocked, or at least show that he was really shocked. But when he turned around, he saw a smiling face staring at him from behind.

And beside him, there were countless animalistic eyes.

It was a terrifying scale that was incomparable to all the types and numbers of beasts that Huai Shi knew. Countless beasts were hidden in the shadows, forming a tide that suddenly erupted, covering everything.

And in the sea of ​​tigers and wolves, in the mountains, and in the bushes, there was an old man wearing a black suit. His white hair reaches to his waist, and he is holding a cane in his hand. He is looking at Huai Shi's appearance carefully and smiling.

"Why be surprised, Huaishi."

The principal, who finally revealed his true appearance, asked softly, "Really...isn't it just you?"

Then, billions of beasts lowered their eyes, exhausting all the ferocity in the world, and looked at Huai Shi.

Huai Shi was shocked.

This time, his shock was finally real.

There was nothing in my mind, just a buzzing sound. As the biggest secret in his heart was revealed, his vision suddenly went dark and he could hardly stand still.

Out of breath.

He opened his mouth with difficulty, trying to speak amidst the clues of countless beasts, but countless thoughts emerged in his mind, mixed together by fear, panic and shock, and turned into a mess.

I could only subconsciously ask in shock:

"——Old bastard, what are you talking about!"

…

In this way, after Huaishi held it in for a month, the old bastard finally shouted out.

Even at the most inappropriate time.

But after the old bastard cursed, Huai Shi felt incredibly refreshed and calmed down again.

The phantoms of countless beasts in the silence have disappeared without knowing when.

Only two people looked at each other.

The principal looked at Huai Shi's face doubtfully, as if he was unsure.

"...Huh? Did I make a mistake?"

He was stunned for a long time, and then he smiled sheepishly: "I'm sorry, your face turned pale with fright."

Huai Shi was silent for a long time, her expression twitching, but she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't make such jokes, principal, it will scare people to death."

"It won't open, it won't open."

The principal's smile became warm again and he patted his shoulder: "Let's put down the knife first -"

It was as if he saw the sacrificial knife emerging silently in the right hand behind Huai Shi's back.

He scratched his gray hair and asked curiously:

"——Also, why did you call me an old bastard?"

Huaishi: "..."

headmaster:"……"

The awkward silence came again.

It wasn't until a long time later that Huai Shi coughed twice and asked, "Can we change the topic?"

"..."

After a brief silence, the principal couldn't help shaking his head and tapping his cane on the ground.

In an instant, the sofa that had just been sent back to Huai Shi's home came back here again, appearing behind Huai Shi's butt.

There was even tea on the table.

"Okay, you sit down first, have a sip of tea and speak slowly."

The old man shook his head helplessly, sat down first, picked up his tea cup and took a sip. He couldn't help but sigh: "If you ask me, young people are not afraid. In those days, when the country was in chaos, someone told me that half of the people would fall into corruption. I fell into the abyss, and I didn’t even frown. The quality of this generation’s guardians of the Kingdom of Heaven is really not good.”

Even though she had already sat down, even if the principal hadn't suddenly pinched herself to death for a while, Huai Shi was still extremely nervous.

I don’t know where I was exposed.

I don’t know where the crow is now, and why he didn’t run away with him.

He could only try to delay time:

"……How did you know?"

The principal remained calm, just glanced at him and shook his head: "If before this, the only person in the world who knew that the Book of Destiny here was a fake couldn't guess what happened to you, then there must be something wrong with this world. question."

Huai Shi was silent.

"You are right, the Book of Destiny here is fake."

The principal turned back and glanced at the illusory projection in the countless matrices behind him. He waved his hand slightly and the outline disappeared without a trace: "Decades ago, when the Kingdom of Heaven fell, I did not find the shadow of the Book of Destiny... From that time on So I made a fake one and put it here to tell everyone that the Book of Destiny is in the collection of the Ivory Tower and is very safe."

He sighed softly, "From that time on, I have been looking for the Book of Destiny, Huai Shi."

"How did you find me?" Huai Shi asked.

"It's not difficult. In fact, as long as you have the purpose of 'Where is the Book of Destiny?', it is simply unexpected, just like waiting for something to happen."

The principal laughed and looked at the young man in front of him: "About a year ago, I felt the existence of the Book of Destiny for the first time. The feedback at that time was very short, only a moment."

a year ago.

Huai Shi frowned, it seemed like... it was the time when he was sublimating?

“At that time, that day, and those two hours, a total of ninety-seven thousand one hundred and forty-one noteworthy things happened in the world.

Among them, Green Sun attacked Xinhai, and the person who awakened his soul was an unknown boy. "

The principal put down the tea cup and stared at the young man in front of him with a solemn expression: "From that day on, your life has become completely different, hasn't it?"

"..."

After a short silence, Huai Shi shook his head and couldn't help but sigh:

"Sooner than that."

This time, the principal was stunned and remained silent for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Huai Shi was puzzled.

"No, I just realized it now."

On the sofa, the old man suddenly leaned back, as if he was relieved, scratched his white hair, and finally confirmed this reality:

"It turns out that the Book of Destiny is really on your body."

The corners of Huai Shi's eyes twitched crazily, and she restrained her anger and stared at him:

"...So you were all trying to deceive me before!"

"Isn't this possible?"

The principal smiled proudly: "I just plan to give it a try... I just want to give it a try..."

"..."

Huai Shi shut up, finally realizing the difference in rank between himself and the old bastard in front of him, and he didn't plan to say anything after that.

He lets him be strong, and I feel good anyway.

Anyway, the crow is still hiding in the basement. As long as he finds something wrong, he can take him with him immediately - wait, could he be sold by her?

Huaishi was shocked again, and her heart felt cold.

——This black-hearted woman is finally going to harm me!

"Don't be afraid, this is the real core of the Ivory Tower." The principal seemed to have misunderstood something and comforted him: "Whether it is the Administration Bureau or the Continuity Institute, the Great Mystery cannot detect what is happening here -"

He paused and his expression became strange: "In other words, no matter what happened, the outside world will not know."

"so what?"

Huai Shi indifferently pulled out the Sword of Virtue, put it on her knees, and straightened her body: "Principal, do you think I will give up resistance?"

"Give up, Huaishi."

The old man shook his head: "Without that gun, you have no chance of winning."

"Even struggling to the death is much better than sitting still and waiting for death, right?"

Huai Shi said coldly: "Principal, you can come here and see if I can catch you without mercy - before I die, let me understand the gap between myself and the veteran fifth-level sublimated person, so that I can die calmly." Be magnanimous.”

"So, young people always have the habit of fighting and killing, which is really bad."

The principal sighed helplessly, raised his hand, and the scepter in his hand turned into a fat cat, jumped into his arms, and purred under his scratching.

"I was counting on you coming here and us being honest with each other," he said.

I am one hundred and twelve years old, Huai Shi, among the survivors of the Utopia, the youngest one who is alive today is over ninety years old.

What can people like us do even if we get the Book of Destiny? A Utopia that has long been devastated, an empty Kingdom of Heaven, a broken book that can give me nothing but a meaningless identity?

If it chooses you, Huai Shi, then it is yours. Just like we never wanted to take away Orton's legacy, you don't have to worry about what I will do to you.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have to bring you here. There are countless places in the Ivory Tower that are more suitable for killing people and hiding corpses than here, and there are also countless excuses that can make you disappear reasonably. "

Huai Shi was amused and asked: "So, now that I am lying on the chopping block and have not been killed, should I be grateful to you, principal? You forced me here with fifty diplomas just to tell me this. ?”

"Very good, Huai Shi, I feel that you are starting to confess."

The principal raised his eyes, looked at his solemn face, and couldn't help but smile: "I'm starting to know the real you, just like you have seen the real me."

"First meeting, Huai Shi."

He said: "I am the principal of the Ivory Tower. I was once the preliminary record-keeper of the Kingdom of Heaven. I was one of the candidates for the Book of Destiny before the fall of the Kingdom of Heaven."

This old man with white hair reaching his waist introduced himself and stretched out his right hand towards Huai Shi:

"——My name is Russell."

Huai Shi looked at his serious look in astonishment, then looked at the hand that was presented to her. After hesitating for a long time, she stretched out her hand to shake it.

Then there was only a snap.

I felt my eyes go dark.

It seemed like I had touched a high-voltage switch.

He twitched on the sofa involuntarily, his hair was burnt black by the electricity, and he couldn't move.

It took a long time before Huaishi finally reacted. He gasped sluggishly and raised his head to look at the old man with a nasty smile.

"You don't think I've forgotten that you said I was an old bastard, do you?"

In front of him, Russell held the cat and glanced sideways at his embarrassed look, "This is the first principle I teach you as your teacher, kid."

He paused and showed a gloating smile:

"——The leader is lying to you if he tells you he is not angry."
