"Socrates once said that the most precious thing in the world is not the unavailability or loss, but the happiness that can be grasped now."
In the lecture theater, Ma Wei stood on the podium and talked, while a few students were scattered under the stage.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly, shining on the curtain through the window. Ma Wei pressed the controller again and again, switching slides and talking about the materials he had prepared.
Several years have passed since he recovered from cancer. He became a university tutor and lived a peaceful life. His career as a priest was like a dream that never happened.
Ding--
When the bell rang, Ma Wei stopped his lecture and said to his classmates: "I suggest that you read Plato's "Utopia". It will be helpful for the final exam in a few days."
The students began to pack up their books and walk out of the classroom. Mawei also picked up his phone to unmute it and read his unread messages.
Several college roommates came to his city and invited him to get together. His parents urged him to get married and arranged several blind dates for him. The director also issued assessment indicators, requiring that the passing rate of the final exam must reach 90%.
...
"Teacher Ma, my attendance rate for the Philosophical Thoughts exam this semester is not good enough. Could you please help me?"
Just when Ma Wei was replying to the message, a coquettish voice suddenly came to his ears. A girl came to him with two best friends, looked innocent, and begged him to help him get through.
Attendance is an important part of the final exam. If you skip too many classes, you will definitely fail the exam. Philosophy classes are often unpopular and boring, and there are not many students in class.
"May I have your name?"
"Wang Zixuan."
"Are you Wang Zixuan?"
Ma Wei put down his phone and raised his eyebrows as he looked at the pitiful girl in front of him.
It had nothing to do with appearance. He remembered the girl's name simply because this Miss Wang Zixuan had a truant rate of 95%. She only attended two classes in total, the first class and the last class before today's exam.
It's hard to remember.
As if knowing that she had skipped too many classes, the girl lowered her head in embarrassment, raised her eyes cautiously, and observed Ma Wei's expression: "My grandma passed away..."
"Do you know when Japan surrendered?"
"Well..."
Faced with Ma Wei's sudden inquiry, the girl blinked and was speechless for a long time. She cast hopeful eyes on her girlfriends on both sides, but they also looked at a loss.
"On August 15, 1945, Emperor Hirohito of Japan officially announced Japan's unconditional surrender in the form of a broadcast of the Armistice Rescript."
Seeing that they couldn't answer, Ma Wei asked again: "In what year, month and day was the founding of New China?"
"..."
There was another moment of silence, and a girl next to her even secretly took out her phone and started searching.
"On October 1, 1949, New China was founded."
Shaking his head, Ma Wei lowered his head and continued to pack the textbooks. At the same time, he said: "Go back and remember to retake it next year."
"No, teacher! If you don't give me a pass, my scholarship will be gone!" The girl's eyes turned red, and she sniffed and said, "My family is very poor, so I just count on the scholarship to cover my daily expenses..."
Looking at the girl's freshly done French manicure and the newly bought clothes, Ma Wei sighed in his heart: "If I don't agree, are you going to commit suicide or sue me for rape?"
"It's not that far yet... As long as you give me a pass, it will be good for everyone!"
"oh."
Ma Wei pressed the volume button on his phone and said calmly: "I have recorded what you just said. It may not be used as evidence, but it is enough to prove my innocence."
After saying that, Ma Wei took the textbook and walked out of the door. When he reached the door, he said: "As long as you take classes seriously next semester and pass the exam, I will still give you a pass. Besides... there are cameras there. The false accusation is
it's useless."
After leaving the classroom, he came to the security department, took out the cigarettes he had kept in his arms, and scattered two cigarettes each. While joking, Ma Wei copied a copy of the surveillance data, uploaded it to the cloud, said hello to the security guard, and turned around to leave.
go.
There was no class in the afternoon, so Ma Wei drove home and took a nap. Then at the urging of his parents, he changed his clothes and went to a restaurant for a blind date.
He is a university lecturer who is quite popular in the dating market, and he has a local registered permanent residence. The girls on the blind date are very satisfied with him. The same goes for his previous blind date partners, who all think he is very good. However...
While eating, a messy black shadow always stood beside Ma Wei, following him wherever he went.
"The famous Marvie Enders actually became a university teacher in a small city?"
Buggy's slightly mocking voice came from the black shadow: "Isn't it too embarrassing, Father?"
In the bathroom, Ma Wei calmly finished urinating, pulled up his pants, went to the mirror, washed his hands meticulously, and then returned to the dining table.
"Is this your goal in life? Mavie Enders, you disappoint me so much! Your structure and ideals are the same as ordinary people!"
Baji has been following behind and forcing Lailai. This situation has been going on for a long time. It has been like this since he woke up in the ward. He chatters incessantly, and Ma Wei doesn't want to pay attention to it at all.
What's wrong with ordinary life?
When he just woke up, he still wanted to go back, but he couldn't find a way. He was gradually swallowed up by the gentle life, like lying in a bathtub and being numbed by hot water from all directions.
Here, he has relatives, a job, friends, a stable salary, no need to worry about life, and he can get married anytime he wants - if there is no annoying guy like Baji.
It’s not that Ma Wei has never thought about getting married, but wherever he goes, Baji follows him. His daily life is fine, but what will he do after marriage?
It's still a bit shameful.
"so annoying..."
"Do you find me annoying?"
Across the table, the pretty girl was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, Ma Wei, who had been chatting and laughing just now, suddenly found her annoying and said so.
"Sorry, I'm not talking about you, but I'm thinking of an annoying friend."
Ma Wei quickly explained.
The girl pulled back her hair and looked with bright eyes, "Then what do you think of me?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You... are pretty good."
"I think you're pretty good, can you try dating for a while?"
"That's fine."
Ma Wei thought it would be nice to have a new beginning.
Buggy stopped nagging, and instead let out a meaningful sneer.
In the following period, Mawei's life returned to normal. Because the final exam was over, he also had time to rest, and his blind date goal was progressing smoothly. Both parents were very satisfied, from the discussion to the engagement, from purchasing the venue to the wedding.
Invitation letter, everything comes naturally.
Because he has parents, Ma Wei didn't even worry about it. He just took wedding photos, sat at home, sent wedding invitations to a few friends, and then welcomed his wedding date.
Buggy didn't bother him either. He disappeared unexpectedly and didn't appear for a long time. In the early morning of the wedding day, Ma Wei was wearing a crisp suit and was preparing to welcome the bride...
The messy black shadow appeared again, and this time, Buggy brought bad news.
"Goncharov is dead."
Upon hearing the news, Ma Wei's palms couldn't help but trembled and he stood still.
"What's wrong?" The parents walking in front turned back and looked at him in confusion: "Let's go! It's time!"
"Yes, it's time."
Buggy also said the same thing: "What you experienced did not actually happen. These were your dreams. You have not gone back yet and are still in Belial's body."
"..."
Mawei didn't say a word, still immersed in the news of Goncharov's death. He didn't care if it was a dream, he really didn't care.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because you are deceiving yourself." Baji said: "You have always missed this place and always wondered whether you could live a stable life without regrets if you were not selected. But I can tell you clearly that there are no ifs in life."
"Coming from the mouth of a god like you who has tampered with destiny, does this sentence seem a little darkly humorous?"
"Destiny is correcting itself, and your appearance is just a part of fate." Buggy said in a serious tone: "I can't change my own destiny, and you can't either."
Time seemed to have stopped. My parents were standing there, the vehicles were no longer moving forward, the dust in the air was still, and everything had pressed the pause button.
"You have been running away for so long, and I have watched you run away for so long, but you and I both know that as long as it is a dream, you will wake up one day, and sooner or later you have to face reality."
After a pause, Buggy asked again: "Are you ready?"
"This is what I should ask you." Ma Wei glanced at the black shadow: "Have you finally found a way to go back?"
"It's always been there, it's just that the time has just arrived."
Seeing Ma Wei relent, Buggy finally smiled: "You kid, you actually lied to me for so long."
"When I wake up from the dream, life has to go on, and I will be tired too... I am in Belial's body, how do you get me back?"
"Odin will take action."
"Odin? They have returned?"
"The day you break the seal and Belial and Arabi return, they will come back."
"How did you do it?"
"The name Odin is familiar to you, right? Have you heard of it before?"
Ma Wei shrugged, "Yes, God King Odin, who doesn't know him? Arabi is conducting deductions in his own kingdom of God, so it is not surprising that Odin appears!"
"This is Arabi's biggest flaw." Bagji looked at the time and found that there were still a few minutes left, and said quietly: "He conducted deductions and created Odin in his own kingdom of God, and then left his own kingdom of God.
He went to the Church of Truth to lurk and neglected to control the Kingdom of God. The Odin pantheon used the shuttle magic created by Merlin and the mithril tag left by the Golden Gods to quietly sneak into Arabi's Kingdom of God and fight with
He returns together."
"Wait a minute, how did the shuttle magic created by Merlin fall into the hands of the Odin God System? Even if they mastered the shuttle magic, how did they determine the location of the Arabi Kingdom?"
An inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and in the early morning night, Baji's figure gradually solidified.
Looking at his weird smile, Ma Wei seemed to understand something...
"Mirror Demon Minnie!"
"It's not just Miss Jinna you're inciting to rebel against, but also the Mirror Demon Minnie!"
"The mirror demon Minnie was not the one who instigated the rebellion, it was Merlin's credit."
Buggy has no intention of stealing credit from Merlin: "The relationship between them is ambiguous. They have been together for tens of thousands of years. It is normal for something to happen. And Minnie happens to be the stupidest among the six sisters. Besides...
After all, Merlin is also the first-generation god of faith who suppressed the ancient gods. He is a legendary wizard who fought hard in the war. If he cannot deal with a few mirror demons, he is not worthy of the title of 'legend'."
"It's really wonderful..."
Ma Wei couldn't help but sigh: "You have worked really hard for this day."
"If you want to succeed, in addition to making choices, you also have to make efforts beyond common sense, right?"
"The golden gods are so stupid, but they didn't lose unjustly."
"They are a group of great idealists, and I admire them, but their fate has long been doomed, and failure is inevitable."
Now, Buggy has also expressed his true thoughts: "I once invited the Golden Gods to join this project, but they rejected it. They do not believe that the era will end, and firmly believe that as long as they do the right thing,
Things will succeed, but unfortunately... what they think is right is just what they think, and it does not represent everything."
When the time came, the surrounding scenes began to blur, and Buggy's figure became more real. The sound of a strong heartbeat came from his ears, accompanied by Belial's angry roar.
"Odin!!!"
His chest was burning. Ma Wei looked down and saw bursts of fluorescent light emitting from Kungunir's mark, as if guiding his master in the direction. The next second, the sound of horses neighing from far to near, the eight-legged god Masrepni
You broke through the barrier of darkness and forced your way into the depths of Belial's soul.
The vast darkness stretches into the distance. The red-haired god Budge rides Sleipnir through reality and reality. Odin arrives and holds Kungunir. There, Belial slowly emerges with a gloomy gaze, looking ferocious.
horrible.
He didn't expect that Buggy and Odin would bring such a big surprise. They broke into his soul unexpectedly and without any warning. This was his most vulnerable and most guarded place. Even Asis could not invade.
, but was opened from the inside by Marvel Enders!
What an oversight!
"Marve Enders, why do you want to overturn the deal! Overturn the contract between us!"
Belial glared at Ma Wei: "Is it because I didn't fulfill the contract? That's only temporary! I will send you back to your parents and your hometown soon! You should trust me!"
The initiative is still in Ma Wei's hands. After all, he activated the anchor point. Without his consent, Buggy and Odin would never be able to break into the depths of Belial's soul through the anchor point!
As long as Ma Wei is persuaded, this crisis can be solved!
"There seems to be no trust between you and me." Ma Wei said in a calm tone: "You go to your own way, and I go to mine. We all have different paths, and we are not the same people at all. How can we trust you?"
It's obvious that Mavi is human.
According to the rule of elimination, the other one must be a ghost.
"Tear up the contract, aren't you afraid that I will kill your parents?!"
"Afraid."
Ma Wei nodded calmly: "But I think you are more afraid that we will die together. This is your soul. The two main gods are here. Once a war breaks out, you... I'm afraid it won't end well."
