Before the guests and hosts had finished enjoying themselves, the banquet had already dispersed.
At around 7 o'clock in the evening, the celebration banquet ended. Shen Rui took the training contract and returned to the classroom for evening self-study.
The classroom was mostly empty, with only about a dozen students sitting and reading.
Occasionally, there are one or two students wiping tears and packing their schoolbags.
Shen Rui knew that for these people, their high school careers that had just begun were over before they really began.
However, this month is not a waste. As long as they are willing, they can use the basic knowledge learned in this month to practice basic physical skills, and then enter some amateur training classes to continue practicing.
It's just that no one is in the mood to think about these future things at this time. Only when they accept the reality and heal the pain can they face the new future.
Shen Rui did not have any unnecessary sympathy because he still clearly remembered the sarcasm and jealousy that lingered in his ears when he had just shown some cultivation talent in the class.
Yes, he is such a person. He will remember the good things others do to him, and he will also remember the bad things others do to him.
If someone teaches him stupid things like "repaying evil with kindness", he will give that person a slap in the face first, and then ask that person to lend him a thousand yuan. If that person can't do it himself, then don't say such a thing. Silly words!
Fortunately, those people who were friendly to him were not among those who dropped out. Otherwise, he would definitely help them stay, because now he has the capital to expand his team!
You must know that among his team skills, there is also a full-level "coach" skill, which has never been used.
When Shen Rui walked back to his seat, the dozen or so students who were reading all raised their heads to look at him.
At this time, the eyes they showed no longer contained a trace of jealousy, but awe!
In the school-wide qualification test, others only had a C-level evaluation, but he got an A-level or even higher evaluation. This is completely different from the rest!
A small castle like Luzhou can only support C-level talents with physical skills. The so-called private masters have always been a self-righteous lie.
Higher talents will always have a higher probability of appearing through large sample screening.
Shen Rui enjoys this kind of awe-inspiring gaze very much. Everyone wants to be the center of attention.
As soon as he sat down, Xia Daxue beside him asked him in a low voice: "Those old guys, did they ask you to sign any contract? I forgot to remind you before."
"Well, that's understandable." Shen Rui said speechlessly. If he had waited for Ma Daha to remind him of everything, he would have been cold.
"What's that look in your eyes? It's like I forgot to remind you that it's normal." A trace of blush appeared on Xia Daxue's fair and tender face.
"That's the truth." Shen Rui quickly changed the subject and took out the shining golden contract. "The conditions seem to be fine, but I'm worried that there are some hidden pits in it, so I brought it back for you to take a look at."
"You did a good job," Xia Daxue said happily, "It really makes me worry-free. I'll check it out."
As she said that, she took the contract and walked out of the classroom.
After Xia Daxue left, Shen Rui surrounded himself with several classmates, naturally thinking that he could talk to him.
Sun Huang came over, his stocky and short body trembling with excitement, and said happily: "Shen Rui, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, you are actually an A-level! I didn't even dare to think about it before, but I didn't expect you to appear next to me. Got it!"
Zhang Yue, who was often unconvinced by Shen Rui in the past, also said sincerely: "Old classmate, I really misjudged you before. You are indeed much better than me."
"You have the nerve to compare yourself with others..." Sun Huang said with disdain.
"What did you say? At least I am better than you. You are a D, and I am still a D+." Zhang Yue turned around and said.
Fu Yunqing smiled: "You two should be quiet, other students are still studying."
The two stopped bickering.
Fu Yunqing asked Shen Rui again: "Student Shen, you are so talented that many prestigious schools and even high schools directly affiliated with key universities will recruit you. What are your plans?"
"The teacher also said that I would be recommended, but I refused. At this stage, I am still studying in our school." Shen Rui shook his head.
"That's such a pity. The resources of famous schools are much better than those here. There are even seventh-level teachers teaching there, and there are even law control classes..." Fu Yunqing said with great regret.
Shen Rui smiled and said nothing.
…………
Half an hour later, Xia Daxue returned to the classroom with a solemn expression and called Shen Rui out.
"It's so cruel," she said fearfully, holding the gold foil paper, "this contract has seven hidden lines engraved on it."
"What are dark patterns?" Shen Rui asked confused.
"It is a technique of carving cryptic words in the inscriptions, which cannot be seen by ordinary means. Just like those acrostic poems, there is no problem in reading them normally. Then if you only read the beginning of the poem, or only read the words in a specific order, you will Other meanings appear." Xia Daxue explained.
"Then what hidden meaning is hidden in it?" Shen Rui asked.
"I hereby swear an oath to throw myself into the arms of the Pillar of Shadows. The sun will eventually burn out, and the shadows will eventually cover the world. The destiny will be revealed here, and no one can stop it." Xia Daxue said slowly.
"Pillar of Shadows, does this sound like a dark organization?" Shen Rui frowned.
"Yes, it has great power among the aberrations, and has even corrupted many humans to join. They believe in shadows and believe that the sun will go out, and then there will be a world of shadows." Xia Daxue explained.
"If the sun goes out, will the shadow still exist?" Shen Rui shook his head and said, "It is obviously a weird and unpredictable evil organization."
"However, it is very powerful. Now it seems that the genius who fell in your school three years ago was not just a simple personal reason, but also had problems with this sinister contract." Xia Daxue said regretfully.
"Fortunately, I showed it to you." Shen Rui was also a little frightened. Fortunately, he didn't sign the contract immediately. Otherwise, even if he had a golden finger, he would still have enough to drink in the face of such a weird and unpredictable oath. Of the pot.
"Well, I just used a special method to remove these dark patterns, and now this contract is normal." Xia Daxue said seriously.
"That's okay," Shen Rui nodded, and then said in surprise, "If this is the case, wouldn't it be very dangerous? What if weirdos use this to infiltrate your organization?"
"That's not true. The cost of engraving this kind of dark pattern is very high, and ordinary people are not qualified to enjoy it. And when you reach a certain level, there is a mental test. This is why the talented student who was recruited could only turn to the aberrant in the end. , he cannot rise in our system." Xia Daxue explained.
"Oh..." Shen Rui thought silently, the true darkness of the world was only revealed to him as the tip of the iceberg, and his newly excited mood was suppressed again.
You must grow up quickly!
…………
At the same time, on the northern line of Kyushu, there was a wooden camp among the mountains.
In the center of the camp, there is a huge tent.
Inside the tent, there was a giant eagle lying on its back sleeping in a temporary nest made of wood, with many people watching around it.
This giant eagle is actually a golden eagle, with the tips of its feathers slightly shining with golden light, making it particularly majestic.
"Xiaoying's sleeping posture has always been different from that of ordinary hawks. Is she okay now?"
"There is no big problem. What's strange is that it was besieged by ten different birds of the same level, and it could still persist until our rescue arrived. Although it is unconscious now, there are no serious injuries in the body, only some scars on the body surface. It will probably be ready tomorrow.
wake up."
"It seems like it has some hidden treasure or trick."
"Well, after all, as the transport captain of the third team, it should give itself a lot of benefits."
Several people in white coats were talking in surprise and admiration.
