In the classroom of Class 3 of Lingxiu Ninth Academy.
A teacher stood on the stage, and dense new words were projected on the projector.
"New words" refer to words created to adapt to psychic research.
This was a class on the theory and application of psychic technology. The teacher taught it very seriously, but unfortunately most of the students were drowsy.
This knowledge is really boring.
Among the crowd in the lecture theater, Huabei was sitting on her little futon.
She was wearing her own tailored school uniform, with her legs folded together and a Detective Pikachu attached to the futon under her butt.
She rested her left arm on her left leg, held her chin in her hand, and lowered her eyes as she read a fashion magazine. She had read this magazine several times. At first, she just looked at the pictures, but now she was forced to read the words.
"Wow."
She pinched the thumb and index finger of her right hand and turned the page. However, she did not continue reading, but took out her mobile phone with her backhand.
The vibration against her thigh caught her attention, which meant that someone had sent a message.
"What's new?" She yawned and opened the internal chat software.
Then she clicked on a small group, and then her eyes suddenly widened and her sleepiness disappeared.
I saw an "administrator" account that had been dormant for a long time surfaced and sent a message @all staff with only four words:
"I'm back." Cheng Lin
…
…
"Thanks."
Smiling, Cheng Lin took the student ID card handed back by the doorman, thanked him, then picked up his suitcase, looked at the crossbar in front of him and slowly opened it, and walked in.
After a month, I returned to the academy and it felt quite different.
A month ago, he was just a student in the ivory tower who only knew how to practice in class. Now, he has continuously explored two projections in the Magic City and Su Province, and killed several illegal cultivators, including four.
Pinfen will lead to enemies of this level.
From being a law-abiding student in the past, to now, he defies the rules and sneaks into the projection, and walks around the Sixth Division's territory as a casual cultivator.
The value of the materials piled up in the portable space is incalculable, and cannot be compared with that of the organization, but among individual practitioners, he is definitely considered a stable and invisible rich man.
These made him feel a little emotional.
Although it was only a month apart, what he had entered was already another level of struggle.
And for the vast majority of students in the same period, they may not be exposed to this kind of struggle until they graduate.
"Gulu gulu."
The suitcase's rollers made a subtle, balanced sound on the smooth and flat asphalt road.
Just like his current state of mind, he was quite peaceful.
Cheng Lin looked at the college comfortably, and then he was surprised to find that there had been many changes here.
For example, the trees on both sides of the road, the flowers in the flower beds, building decoration and weather.
The college has been undergoing renovations since he left.
A month has passed and many things have changed.
The establishment of the college was somewhat hasty at the time, so the site selection had to be based on the old site.
It was okay at first, but as the college continues to get on the right track, it will definitely need new decoration.
"The road seems to have been widened."
"The sculpture over there has been removed."
"The railings are painted."
"It seems like the playground has a new layer of rubber, right?"
Everything Cheng Lin saw felt fresh.
I looked at the time and saw that it was still some distance before lunch break in the college.
Cheng Lin simply sent a message in the group, then returned to his dormitory with his luggage.
He subconsciously walked towards Building F, and halfway through he suddenly realized that he had moved to a single-family building.
“I’ve only lived in the new dormitory for one day, and I’m really not used to it.”
Cheng Lin smiled bitterly.
Walking along the neat and clean road to the single-family building, everyone was in class at this time, the campus was relatively deserted, and Cheng Lin met almost no one.
We walked all the way to the boys' private building, then went upstairs to the door of our dormitory.
Take out the key, open it, and push open the dusty room.
There has been no ventilation for a month, and the air inside is quite unpleasant and stuffy.
Cheng Lin took a few steps to open the window for ventilation, then picked up a broom and mop and briefly cleaned the room.
When he saw his figure reflected on the wet floor, Cheng Lin wiped his sweat and felt very good.
He never felt that fighting and killing were the main theme of spiritual practice.
Although it is indeed unavoidable.
But practicing is not for fighting, but for a better life.
Hang the clothes in the cabinets by categories, and occasionally respond to friends’ inquiries in group chats.
By the time we finished cleaning up, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and the distant and strange sound of bells rang throughout the campus.
This is also a new thing. The college actually uses bells instead of electric bells?
"Is this going to be a retro style?"
Cheng Lin was slightly surprised. When he walked to the window, he felt keenly that the distant bell had disturbed the aura above the campus, making it more active.
Entering the third level, his perception of spiritual energy has become more and more obvious.
"The concentration of spiritual energy in the academy has increased again. It doesn't seem to have grown naturally. It should have been through a method similar to gathering spirits, right?"
"In this way, the growth rate of this batch of students is obviously faster than that of the previous batch of senior brothers and sisters."
Cheng Lin thought leisurely, then picked up his phone, changed into a coat, went downstairs, and walked to the canteen. He had already made an appointment in the group.
…
…
"Cheng Lin! Are you really back?"
On the third floor of the cafeteria, when Sun Xiao saw him again, the guy couldn't help laughing. He ran over and gave him a bear hug. He put his arms around his shoulders and said with a smile: "You have been traveling for a long time. Where have you been?
?”
Fu Zhongting and Zhu Sha, who narrowed their eyes, followed closely behind. They came over and joked: "If you don't come back, we will almost forget that you are there."
Cheng Lin couldn't help but was speechless, "You guys are exaggerating. It's only about ten days."
"Ten days isn't long enough?"
"Not seeing you for one day is like three autumns. It has been more than thirty autumns for you."
Several people chatted and joked one after another.
Most of them were joking. Ten days was not really a long time, but it was not too short either.
"I thought you were only going to come back after playing for three or five days." Xie Qingke came over with a dinner plate, glanced at him, and said.
"Just relax and play for a few more days." Cheng Lin smiled.
The next moment, he saw Hua Bei strolling over with her shoulders in her arms, and rolled her eyes at him: "You still know how to come back, tell me honestly, where did you go to play? We were in jail in the classroom, but you were happy and free.
."
The tone was sour.
Cheng Lin smiled and went to get a meal with everyone first and sat together. Then he told them the general story while they were watching.
Considering that he couldn't keep secretly entering the projection, he mentioned it appropriately and briefly talked about how he traveled to Jiangsu Province and met the new projection.
Of course, in order to avoid some trouble, he didn't mention anything about casual cultivating, and he didn't tell the truth about some of his secrets.
But even so, a group of people were shocked.
"So, you secretly sneaked into the Su Province projection?"
"In front of Sixth Division? That's okay."
"This seems to be against the rules, right? What are you going to do?"
"Are the alien beasts ferocious? Are they ruthless? Are they powerful? How many have you killed?"
Several people gathered around and asked, their eyes shining brightly.
Jiu Si was not involved in the projection this time, so they could only satisfy their eye cravings by collecting relevant information in the academy.
I thought Cheng Lin was simply on vacation, but who would have thought that he would sneak into the projection alone?
If this matter is publicized, it will definitely cause a sensation in the college!
"Oh, if I had known I would have redeemed a few days of vacation." Sun Xiao looked regretful when he heard this.
Xiao Ningyu, who was gentle and quiet next to him, said in a soft voice: "The holidays are so expensive, are you willing to redeem them? Even if you are willing, how could it be such a coincidence that the projection happened to appear where you went? I feel like this is good luck."
"Yes, you are really lucky."
Several people sighed, but Hua Bei was the only one who wasn't interested in it. She didn't dare to enter with the projection anyway, so she just sighed: "It's good to come back safely."
After a conversation, time flew by quickly, the lunch break was short, and everyone had classes in the afternoon.
Cheng Lin has not reported to school yet, so there is no need for classes at the moment, and the few of them can only separate in a hurry.
Sun Xiao, who likes to have dinner parties very much, immediately decided to have another meal in the evening.
Cheng Lin wholeheartedly agreed. When the bell rang in the afternoon and the students dispersed, he was about to go to the college to report that he was coming back from the next vacation. Suddenly, he received a text message from the counselor on his phone, which was a notification:
"Please report to the Vice-President's office in the Academic Affairs Building before two o'clock in the afternoon. Vice-President Huang has something to ask for."
Seeing this message, Cheng Lin raised his eyebrows.
Vice President Huang?
Huang Yin, deputy chief of the Ninth Division?
It should be her. Is this leader still in the college?
Cheng Lin was slightly surprised.
"Why is she looking for me? Does she already know something, or is it simply that she was notified of my return?"
Many students who were eating at noon saw him, so word of his return must have spread.
Cheng Lin guessed it was the former.
Although he is the number one in the academy, that's all. In Huang Yin's eyes, he probably doesn't count, and there is no reason why he should enjoy the treatment of being like a man.
"OK."
After replying a text message, Cheng Lin sorted out his thoughts and prepared a reply, then walked straight to the Academic Affairs Building.
…
The deputy dean's room has not changed, it is still the same room as last time.
However, this time, no one was accompanying him, he was the only one.
Walking to the door, Cheng Lin listened carefully, then stretched out his hand, and was about to knock on the door when he heard Huang Yin's voice from inside: "Come in, the door is unlocked."
Why does this sound so weird...
Cheng Lin muttered in his heart and looked as normal as he opened the door. The layout of the office had hardly changed, and it was the same as the last time he came here.
The white walls are bright and the green plants are simply decorated.
Behind the desk, Huang Yin, a fourth-level powerhouse, was leaning leisurely on the soft chair.
Hmm, this chair seems to have been changed. It's bigger, softer, and more upscale. It looks like it's worth a lot of money.
Most of Huang Yin's body was sunk in it, and her thighs were tilted up, which was incompatible with her status as a college leader. Her coat was a uniform with a small lapel, but it was open, and underneath she wore her fashionable outfit.
In terms of appearance and dressing style, Deputy Chief Huang and Hua Bei have very similar tastes. No wonder they can get along well.
Thinking of this, Cheng Lin didn't squint his eyes and said without being humble or arrogant: "Vice Dean, are you looking for me?"
"Yes." Huang Yin nodded lightly, and then her body finally pulled out of the cloud-like chair. Her willow-leaf eyes scanned Cheng Lin's body for a few seconds. Cheng Lin immediately felt an invisible force field covering him.
, after a moment, she blinked and said, "You are indeed in the third grade."
There was no surprised look on Huang Yin's face, but just a hint of just the right amount of surprise.
"Sure enough, the director already knows."
Cheng Lin thought to himself.
Huang Yin knew her cultivation level in advance, and this information was most likely leaked from the Tenth Academy.
After Cao Wei's class teacher Li Lu obtained the relevant information, he inevitably reported it to Division 10.
Jiu Si is next to them and they don't deal with each other very well, so it is normal for them to have some ears and eyes inside.
The news of his own cultivation was known so quickly, so it was obviously impossible to keep the matter of exploring projections a secret.
Cheng Lin sighed softly and secretly said that the energy of the department was indeed extraordinary.
On the surface, he said calmly: "Yes, good luck, I gained something from the projection this time."
"Tsk, tsk, you're honest." Huang Yin's little eyebrows flew up, but there was no trace of happiness or anger on her beautiful face. She just stretched out her finger and pointed in front of her face and said, "Sit down, you know why I asked you to come here, right?"
"
Cheng Lin sat down, thought about it, and said, "I was wrong."
Huang Yin was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect such a reaction from him. She suddenly burst into laughter and asked with a smile: "Where did you go wrong?"
Cheng Lin coughed lightly and said solemnly: "First, organizational discipline is weak and liberalism is rampant; second, ideological awareness is low and the understanding of rules and regulations is insufficient; third, opportunism breeds and life style is lazy;
Fourth, the level of political theory needs to be improved..."
"Wait..." Huang Yin had just picked up a glass of water, ready to hear him admit his mistake.
She didn't expect Cheng Lin to come directly to this section, which almost made her squirt.
Helplessly interrupting, Huang Yin put down the water glass and looked at this current genius. Suddenly, her little face darkened.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Don't try to fool us. What happened to this Su Province projection? I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation!"
Seeing Huang Yin's expression darken.
Cheng Lin sighed inwardly, hesitated for a moment, and finally finished the draft he had already made.
Probably after returning from the Magic City, I wanted to relax, and then I met Cao Wei. I bought a ticket to go to Slender West Lake for convenience, and then I met a projection. On impulse, I secretly disguised myself as a casual cultivator and went in.
Said it once.
He had already discussed this with Cao Wei.
He didn't mention anything about the black organization and just pretended not to know.
Although this is considered a meritorious service, many of the details in it cannot withstand questioning and could easily touch upon some of Cheng Lin's secrets, so I won't mention it at all.
Even though there is less meritorious service, there is also less trouble.
In Cheng Lin's narrative, he and Cao Wei went into the frozen soil to fight monsters and pick flowers. Then they encountered a heavy avalanche and evacuated out for safety reasons.
Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for Jiusi to know the details of what happened inside.
At the end of a long speech, Cheng Lin coughed and concluded: "In short, regarding this private action, I fully realized the mistake. Even though I knew the relevant regulations, I still violated the regulations, ignored the law, and committed wrong things.
, I am willing to make a profound self-examination and assume relevant responsibilities!”
After speaking, he closed his mouth.
There was silence in the office for a moment.
Suddenly, Huang Yin's long and leisurely voice rose: "This... was done well."
