Fortunately, this weakness was exposed in advance, so he had more options.
Moreover, for Su Jue, this was an inevitable failure, but for the Ruler of Domination, it was just the beginning of another plan.
The puppet [Su Jue] stopped the performance, opened his arms and bowed to express his gratitude under the gaze of the golden eyes, and then the curtain fell.
On the stage, the artificial eye of Gray Snake emits a faint red light, the sword of Raiden Mei is stuck in the ground, and in a remote corner of the city, the girl is constantly looking for someone. The painting stationery in her left hand and the broken blood-stained hairpin in her hand are also a new choice.
Planning and omission are often just a matter of thought.
……
After "accidentally" revealing the information about the World Snake to Ji Zi, he finally got rid of this troublesome woman who stayed at his home, and after that, Su Jue's life finally returned to normal. The bad thing about having too many dolls is that you always forget that you are still a high school student enjoying a wonderful campus life.
However, looking at the thick stack of homework in front of him, Su Jue fell into deep thought.
Who was the wise man who invented homework, the source of all evil? If I become a stigma, I must have a good talk with him about life.
Su Jue looked around and subconsciously wanted to find a tool person to help solve the problem, but unfortunately the only person in the whole room who could meet his eyes was Tu Xue.
"Watch me do meow?"
Forget it, let’s see if I can get away with it at school.
Su Jue stuffed his homework into his backpack and started his student life. As a good student, he had only been to school twice in the past week. He even received a response from Qian Jue's mark just when he was about to study. However, this was force majeure. No wonder Su Jue was so angry.
Ahem, I almost failed to switch to the voice pack.
"Good morning, Jian Yun." The morning breeze is cool, the sun is shining, and there is a female classmate who goes to school with me every day. Is there anything more pleasant than this?
"Uh, Su Jue, are you awake today?" Seeing Su Jue so energetic, Jian Yun showed a surprised expression.
After a quick recollection, Su Jue remembered that he had lied to cover up the difference between himself and the puppet, but he didn't expect that this lie would be remembered. "Probably?"
"What do you mean by probably? How can you have an probably if you are asleep or not?"
Indeed it can.
Su Jue kept these words in his heart and did not say them out loud.
Seeing Su Jue's strange expression, Jian Yun looked at him suspiciously, and hesitated for a long time before speaking, "I heard from classmates that some boys like to reward themselves. I heard that if they do it too much, they will have symptoms of memory loss. You are not the same, are you? Sometimes you are listless and don't even respond when you say hello..."
"No, that's not the case at all." Su Jue's face turned serious and he answered seriously. No matter if it was true or not, he could never admit it in front of his female classmates.
"Okay, although I don't know what rewarding yourself means, Su Jue, you should not do as they say. I think... this is not good."
Although Su Jue knew that Jian Yun was only concerned about him, he still felt something was wrong and quickly changed the subject. "By the way, have you finished your homework? Due to some force majeure, I think I need some reference."
"I knew you didn't write it again. Look, I happened to accidentally write an extra one." As if he had expected Su Jue not to do his homework, Jian Yun opened his schoolbag and took out a pile of homework, which he had specially sorted into categories. It was obvious that he had planned it for a long time.
"Uh, are you sure it was an accident?"
"Hmph, what are you thinking about? There's no way I would go out of my way to write an extra copy for you." Jian Yun pursed his lips, turned his face away, and didn't look at Su Jue.
"Okay, thank you." Su Jue felt bad, so he thought about it and decided to go to a breakfast shop on the street and treat her to breakfast.
Living in the suburbs, there are not as many breakfast shops as in the central area. Most of them are ordinary people who get up early and stay up late, pushing tricycles and parking them on the roadside. The types are just simple soy milk, fried dough sticks, and tea eggs. But Jian Yun seemed very happy to have breakfast. The two walked side by side. She held a cup of soy milk and gulped it down, and from time to time secretly glanced at Su Jue's profile, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"What? Not enough to drink?" Su Jue handed over the cup of soy milk in his hand.
Jian Yun was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to take it, but unfortunately Su Jue took the soy milk cup back in advance, "Are you stupid? Mine is an empty cup."
"Tsk, so stingy." Jian Yun's cheeks turned slightly red after she reacted. In order to hide the thought that just popped up in her mind, she took a few big strides and was ready to enter the school before Su Jue.
However, before she could enter, she was stopped by a student who was checking discipline, "Student, don't bring breakfast into school..."
"...Okay." After she finished drinking, they both entered the school gate at the same time.
So why bother?
Chapter 59: The Scenery in the Distance
Adolescent girls always like to fantasize, maybe about the unreachable scenery on the horizon, maybe about the princess castle in the fantasy world, or maybe they just simply look forward to a better future and desire to spend the rest of their life with the one they love.
In the early morning, everything is beautiful at the beginning. Every day is a new beginning, and the little happiness in the early morning can make people happy for the whole day. She wanted to go shopping, she wanted to travel, but in the end, Jian Yun could only stay in the classroom honestly.
Uninteresting teachers, boring classes, and meaningless knowledge wasted the morning time that should have been beautiful. After taking a look at the bald teacher and finding that he didn't pay attention to him, Jian Yun leaned over the desk and secretly looked at the people around him.
"?" Su Jue gave him a puzzled look. It was obviously normal, but Jian Yun laughed as if he had obtained some happy treasure.
Unfortunately, the happiness was too short-lived, and the chalk head hit her head suddenly.
"Jian Yun, stand up!" The bald teacher with a displeased expression was dull when teaching, but his voice was exceptionally loud when corporal punishment was inflicted, trying to show his dignity as a teacher through the volume of his voice.
Looking at the ferocious teacher, Jian Yun was nervous. Normally, she was a good student who listened to the lectures attentively, but today, for some reason, she was distracted and was caught red-handed.
The bald teacher didn't look at Jian Yun. Instead, he looked around at the lazy students in the class and snorted, "I know that many students in the class have secretly started dating recently. Although I know that you will never be able to enter the central area with your family conditions, I still advise you to focus on your studies. Otherwise, when you grow up, you will have to stay in the poor area for the rest of your life like your parents, and you will never even see the big city."
This is a very insulting statement, but for the students, it does not really matter, they still sleep when they should sleep and relax when they should relax. It is nothing, just because everyone is used to it.
The bald teacher didn't see the timid expressions of the students that he had expected. He felt like he had punched cotton and felt inexplicably unhappy. He turned his eyes and set his sights on Jian Yun.
"Jian Yun, right? If I remember correctly, your father only works in a factory in the suburbs. Don't you know how hard it is for them to send you to school? You have been poor all your life, just to go to the big city to see the world, but you end up daydreaming in class? It turns out that children raised by incompetent people are just useless. They will never see the scenery of the city even if they spend their entire lives."
"Maybe your parents had to use connections to get you into this crappy school. I think it would be better for you guys to go to a factory with your parents to screw screws instead of going to this school. At least it would make your family less financially strapped."
The teacher's words pierced Jian Yun's heart like a needle, especially when she was standing alone, she felt that the whole class was looking at her, as if they were criticizing a rare species. She bit her lips tightly and lowered her head to prevent herself from crying. Her originally good mood had long gone.
"But teacher, you are so outstanding, how come you can only stay in our crappy school at the age of 50? Doesn't that prove that you are the waste in your own words?" Looking at Jian Yun who was silent beside him, Su Jue sighed and could only answer for her.
"You little brat! Is that how you talk to your teacher?" Obviously, Su Jue's words hit the bald teacher's sore spot. He immediately picked up the glass on the table and wanted to throw it at him, but when he thought about how much he had spent on the glass, he felt reluctant to part with it. He could only curse, "You uneducated guy, it turns out that there are not many good people in this kind of rubbish school."
Su Jue didn't care about the teacher's abuse. Anyway, he would have no connection with such a person in the future. However, Jian Yun, who was standing next to him, heard his words and looked at him with watery eyes, which made him unable to help but say a few more words, "Well, it is indeed a rubbish school, but why are you here, teacher? Do you think the school in the city center is too far from home? Or do you despise the meager salary in the central area? It can't be that they don't want you."
He took the opportunity to pull Jian Yun, who was still standing, and asked her to sit down, and then he stood up. His eyes were sincere, as if he was really a good child who cared about his teacher.
"You..." The bald teacher was a little angry, and took a long breath before he came to his senses. "I just dedicated myself to the cause of education. If we were not teachers, what would you guys do in the future?
The students in the classroom were so amused that they even stopped sleeping and murmured quietly. "No way, no way, there is really someone standing on the podium and thinking he is a teacher. He can't even recognize all the words in the textbook. It seems that he didn't even recognize Su Jue's name before." (This is for the needs of the plot, not against anyone, nor does it belittle friends who don't know rare words. This view is limited to the view of the characters in the novel and has nothing to do with the author himself.)
"By the way, what did he teach? 'How to make shoe insoles crispy'. Oh~ So he used to be a barbecue chef."
Although the students seemed to be whispering, they actually had no intention of covering up their voices. The bald teacher's face turned red and white, as if he was changing his expression. Just when Su Jue thought he was going to die, he came to his senses and walked out of the classroom with a sour face. He was probably going to tell the school leaders about it.
"Tsk, boring." After seeing the teacher break down and leave, the chatting in the classroom became more unbridled, and no one cared about what had just been said.
This is the school where Su Jue is currently studying. It is also a scene that can be seen everywhere in suburban schools. The teachers who teach here are basically eliminated people who can’t stay in the central area. They have not learned their qualities, but always think that they are people who have seen the world and look down on their students with a condescending attitude.
The knowledge taught in the school was not serious liberal arts or science knowledge, but was basically just to allow students to master some superficial work knowledge that would be of some use in the future. As for whether they could study or not, it was none of their business. Anyway, as long as they could get subsidies from Shenzhou, the purpose of opening the school had been achieved.
So the students here basically have a bad attitude. They have never been to the central area, nor have they seen the outside world. They might as well seize the time to enjoy their best and most leisurely time.
"Thank you..." After Su Jue sat down, Jian Yun tugged at his sleeve and whispered.
"It's to repay you for doing my homework for me."
"But you already treated me to breakfast."
"That means it's an advance payment for the next assignment."
"..." The sunlight fell on Jian Yun's profile, and the light made her squint slightly. The tears that were still swirling in her eyes blurred her vision under the light, making it difficult for her to see Su Jue's appearance.
Perhaps what she wanted was not the distant scenery or the noble castle.
Chapter 60 Equality
"Ahem, classmate Jian Yun, classmate Su Jue, can you explain to me why the handwriting on your homework is exactly the same?" In the office, the female teacher in charge of teaching Chinese pushed her glasses and stared at the two of them with an inquiring look.
Jian Yun, who had not yet walked out of the shadow of the bald teacher, lowered his head, not daring to meet her gaze. On the other hand, Su Jue, who was standing beside him, had no pressure at all and explained calmly, "As you can see, I don't have the habit of doing homework, so I bribed Jian Yun with a breakfast and asked her to do my homework for me. This is mutual help between classmates, and the transaction does not involve any illegality. Do you have any other questions?"
Hearing Su Jue say such shameless words calmly, the female teacher's mouth twitched slightly. She wanted to say something about how one should do homework by oneself and learn independently, but seeing Su Jue's impatient look, she swallowed the words back.
"Ahem, there better not be a next time."
Although he didn't know what his autonomous doll's style was like when going to school, Su Jue would not completely regard himself as a timid student. It was hard to have some peaceful days. School life was for relaxation, not for being bullied.
After leaving the office, Jian Yun, whose palms were sweating for Su Jue, looked at him with admiration, "Su Jue, I feel that you are amazing today. Just like... just like when I first met you."
"..." To be honest, Su Jue could no longer remember what he was like at the beginning. He only remembered that he had just been chosen to be the Ruler of the Thousand, and he was trembling with worry about his future all day long. However, he appeared to be very tough on the outside, like a snail in the mud by a pond, using his fragile shell to protect himself.
The contact with Jian Yun was also just a part of the Thousand Herrscher plan. In the distant memory, Su Jue still remembered that Kiana seemed to have saved the child's life. At that time, he thought, if he and her were rescued by Kiana together, wouldn't it be natural for him to be whitewashed?
Unfortunately, the Honkai consciousness saw through his intention to run away and directly gave him the authority to dominate the Herrscher. Su Jue then changed his mind and formulated a plan called [Abduction].
Now the plan has changed. As for Jian Yun, he should just be an ordinary person.
He saw through the girl's mind and understood her ignorant feeling of admiration very well, but in his opinion, it was just a simple character flaw.
Overly dependent on others, very concerned about other people's opinions, and such a personality will subconsciously cling to others when encountering a stronger person. The more powerful Su Jue is, the more serious this situation becomes. If Su Jue's target was not on Qiyana, Jian Yun would have been sold out countless times.
"Haven't you ever thought about changing?" The two walked side by side. Su Jue looked at the main building of the school outside the window. The old school was shabby everywhere, except for the main building of the office area, which was decorated magnificently.
"Change what?"
"From the homework you wrote for me, your performance in liberal arts is very good. No student in this school can compare to you. With your level, it shouldn't be a problem for you to go to a good school. Don't you think this place is... terrible?"
As if he had not expected Su Jue to suddenly ask this question, Jian Yun frowned, not knowing how to answer.
The good-for-nothing teachers, the students who live their lives in a ridiculous way, and this school that is as chaotic as mud, each of them exudes an uncomfortable atmosphere.
For the Thousand Rulers, this is a perfect breeding ground, but for Su Jue, it is nothing more than a stinking ditch with no control value.
"I think it's probably because of fairness?" Jian Yun stopped and leaned against the window with Su Jue. "People living in the suburbs are not rich. We are all children living in ordinary families. We don't have the courage and strength to compete with the city center. All we have is the weak people hugging each other for warmth."
Jian Yun's words made Su Jue look sideways. He originally thought that the other party was just a child with a dependent personality, but he didn't expect that he had his own ideas.
"Everyone living here is equal. No one is nobler or richer. Living here, you don't have to endure discrimination from others, nor do you have to worry about being excluded."
Just like the Ruler of a Thousand.
"It's strange, isn't it, that I would say something like this." After saying this, Jian Yun showed a relieved expression, as if he had revealed the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart. "But this is what I really think. If everyone is the same, then we don't have to care about other people's eyes."
The breeze blew on the girl leaning against the window, blowing her soft hair. She smiled gently, and together with this school, she became a beautiful scenery.
If——if it continues like this.
……
In this world, the collapse will not come to visit you like a polite gentleman, dressed appropriately and bringing carefully prepared gifts. It will only break into your life like a robber, and then ruthlessly destroy everything you know.
When Jian Yun came to her senses, all she saw was the collapsed ruins, blood and internal organs splattered on the broken walls, painting a picture of despair. The wailing and crying of her classmates poured into Jian Yun's mind like a nightmare, tearing all her common sense into pieces.
"What happened?" No one could answer her. Only the shadow after the sunlight was blocked out covered everything. The giant beast standing in the ruins ruthlessly destroyed the buildings of human civilization and crushed the children buried under the ruins into meat paste.
Fortunately, Jian Yun only suffered minor injuries. She was holding a confession letter that she was going to give to Su Jue, but nothing mattered at the moment.
Struggling to support her body, Jian Yun stood up little by little and moved towards a safe place. She could already feel the blood-thirsty roar of the Honkai beast that covered the sky.
pat.
It seemed like she kicked something with her feet. She looked down and saw a mostly bald head with eyes wide open. It was kicked to the side by her and was bleeding.
Those eyes were looking at her.
Chapter 61: Only Death Is Equality
Fear was like a python that had been hiding for a long time. It suddenly jumped out from the swamp without anyone noticing and tightly gripped Jian Yun's throat, making her eyes wide open and unable to breathe.
Jian Yun...
Those eyes still retained the teacher's harshness, which was deeply imprinted in Jian Yun's mind. Just a few hours ago, he was still insulting his own students, but now he has died in the same way as those trash he hated the most - life may not be equal, but death is the only fairness.
The broken limbs were scattered all over the ground, and the desperate eyes of the familiar classmates were still staring at her before they died, like evil spirits in hell, waiting for the next victim to join them.
Didn't you say that everyone is equal? Why don't you come and accompany us? Be with us.
Go to hell!
"No..." Holding his throat tightly, Jian Yun could only moan softly.
"Don't look at me, don't look at me..." She kept running away, closing her eyes to avoid looking at the corpses, but despair would never let go of any delicious food. It would follow closely until the child was too weak to struggle, and then drag him into the abyss.
They heard, they saw, and they began to hunt and destroy everything that lived.
boom--
The main building, which had cost most of the public funds to renovate, collapsed easily under the pull of the Honkai Beasts. After the obstacles that blocked the view disappeared, the Temple-level Honkai Beasts holding spears had already discovered the escaping Jian Yun. Their red eyes began to glow, and their huge bodies began to move, destroying everything in an instant.
Death came as expected...
No, not really.
He only felt himself being embraced by a warm embrace. After rolling on the ground for several times, Jian Yun raised his head and saw the face he had been expecting.
