"It would be great if there really was a teacher..."
In the dark forest, Cheng Lin held the light source in his hand and kept walking. He felt plant life coming around him again, but he hesitated.
Behind the two of them is a path composed of withered plants.
Listening to Shi Shengcun's emotion, he always felt that the other party was hinting at something. After pausing for a few seconds, he smiled and said, "It's not easy."
Shi Shengcun glanced at him as he moved slightly, his eyes slightly lost, but then quickly returned to normal.
With a wave of his hand, he killed those plants with the method of mental shock. He signaled to continue moving forward and said again:
"It was during that time that we began to have the prototype of establishing academies in various places. At that time, many people believed that sooner or later, more awakened people would appear, and the world would also undergo important changes.
, you see, in just a few years, all of this has been achieved.”
"Indeed." Cheng Lin remained as usual.
"However, change does not happen overnight, and the process is also full of difficulties."
"Like the Federation?"
"Yes and no," Shi Shengcun walked slowly. At this time, the breeze began to blow at night, disturbing the forest. "There are always foreign enemies, and there are also many internal problems.
Such as casual cultivation.
Although the various departments and bureaus are gradually improving and everything is improving, new awakened ones are always appearing, and we cannot fully control them. There will always be some fish that slip through the net...
Oh, even though we have opened a trading market and mission hall, we are trying to give people who have awakened abilities a platform to display their abilities and exchange their abilities for value.
But there will always be some individuals who try their best to hide themselves and are suspicious of the government.
Just like the lives hiding in the darkness in front of you and me, they are afraid of the light and refuse to approach.
This confused me for a while,"
"What's there to be confused about? There are always people who don't like to be restrained."
"Well, this is nature, and it's understandable," Shi Shengcun nodded, then changed the topic and said, "However, there are some people who have clearly entered the system, but still try to hide themselves. This seems to be unexplainable."
The wind in the forest got a little stronger, causing the light source in Cheng Lin's hand to reflect on the trees and the shadows on the ground began to sway, like ghosts.
He pursed his lips, as if he didn't realize the meaning of the other person's words. He moved the corners of his lips and said calmly:
"Entering the system may not be an initiative. Of course, in comparison, this is indeed the brightest way. However, even if he does not resist, he may not be willing to expose everything to the sun...especially when he is special enough.
."
"Why?" Shi Shengcun asked.
In silence.
Cheng Lin stretched out his hand to cut off a branch in front of him, then walked up a gentle slope with his legs, without squinting:
"Because of fear."
After speaking, he continued without waiting for Shi Shengcun to speak:
"If a person holds a treasure but lacks the ability to protect it, the best way is to hide it."
"Why don't you choose to cooperate? I don't think any rational organization would do something stupid like killing the goose that lays the goose to lay eggs." Shi Shengcun shook his head, as if he didn't agree with what he said.
Cheng Lin chuckled and slowed down his steps. On the high slope, the night wind blew stronger, the clouds in the sky swept back quickly, and the starry sky suddenly became more brilliant.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. The narrow woods blocked the sky, leaving only a narrow gap. It was like standing in a canyon and looking at the "line of sky" above his head. And precisely in this gap, there was flowing water.
Brilliant Milky Way.
Cheng Lin took a deep breath, letting his hair get messy, and sighed in a serious tone:
"But there is not only one organization in the world."
This sentence is very subtle, but it is his truest thought.
In fact, Cheng Lin had thought about this issue very seriously as early as when he obtained the deduction program and confirmed its capabilities through two tests.
He is not sick and does not have the so-called "persecution delusion".
He is also not convinced by the "slicing" comments on the Internet, and even sneers at them.
His reason told him that if he cooperated with the country, as long as the person making the decision was not hopelessly stupid, he could definitely get more benefits, or even only provide deduction information, instead of having to desperately enter the projection and face the danger to survive.
Beat to death...
But... the same reason told him that this was not safe.
Because once it becomes public, he will inevitably fall into an extremely dangerous situation!
The deduction ability seems harmless, but it is equivalent to conjuring a large amount of resources out of thin air. This is undoubtedly of great value, and once this news is reported, it will inevitably spread.
Don't talk about keeping it secret. Once a second person knows something, it is no longer a secret.
What will other national organizations do when they know of his existence? They will definitely try every means to get rid of him.
Well, even if Xia Guo officials will try their best to protect him, how can they protect him?
"Protect" him in an underground fortification that never sees the light of day? Or send him to a secret base in a desolate desert? Or take countless strong men or even troops with him when he goes shopping?
Doesn't this become a joke?
Besides... Cheng Lin still had half a sentence left to say... Even if it were an organization, wouldn't there be differences? Wouldn't there be opposing "mountains"? Wouldn't there be different opinions?
If you think about it more deeply...don't there be people like spies?
He didn't want to be assassinated by the knife behind him in a daze!
Therefore, he had no choice but to hide and then make himself strong enough to resist attacks from the outside and inside. Only in this way could he dispel fear.
This is also the reason why he no longer worries so much after advancing to the sixth level.
On the one hand, his personal combat power is strong enough, and there are only a handful of people who can threaten him. In addition, the spiritual world has been upgraded to a certain scale. He can even enter other "worlds" through passages. If it doesn't work, he will hide there for the rest of his life.
You can live a very good life even if you don't come out again.
Of course, he would not express all these thoughts. He believed that Shi Shengcun could definitely understand them, although there would be some deviations in the other party's understanding.
Cheng Lin was referring to the existence of deduction procedures, while Shi Shengcun understood the existence of "Ascended Person Inheritance"... Well, some innocuous differences.
As for why Cheng Lin didn't just tell the truth and take the initiative to expose his real and biggest vest and seek cooperation.
Firstly, he is not strong enough yet. Both Shi Shengcun and Lancelot can stabilize him. Secondly...it takes a process to establish trust. He also wants to use the "black robe" vest to test the direction of the wind above.
.
"Shashasha..."
In the woods, the trees are swaying, the lights are moving, the clouds are flying overhead, and the stars are hazy, as if a real river is hanging down.
Shi Shengcun silently stared at the young man beside him who was far calmer than his peers, and suddenly nodded: "I understand."
After a pause, the eighth-level master looked at Cheng Lin deeply, then stretched out his right hand and asked gently and solemnly:
"So, now...are you still afraid? Cheng...or should I call you...blak?"
