Gu Jianlin realized that the Central Lingshu Academy was unusual because the strange mandala was so familiar. He felt that the head of the Department of Alchemy and Archeology was most likely a deeply hidden divine servant.
Skylark's divine attendant.
This is very interesting. That bad woman was obviously busy with the war in Buzhou Mountain, but she arranged for a very high-status divine attendant to be placed in the Central Spiritual Shuyuan. This just proves that this college is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Only by coming here can senior brother understand the truth of everything. Now it seems to be true.
"You are not interested in Professor Ye, are you? You have been distracted all morning?"
Xia Zhi walked out of the subway station, scanned a bicycle and rode on it. She curled her lips and said, "There are many people chasing her."
Gu Jianlin was walking on the sidewalk with his backpack. He was a ghost-slayer with divine speed. Even walking was much faster than riding a bicycle. He said expressionlessly: "Do you feel that you talk a bit too much?"
Xia Zhi puffed up her cheeks and turned her head away from him.
After all, she is also a beautiful girl, and there are many rich kids in the department who have pursued her. Although she knows that most of them just want to play with her, it also proves that her beauty is valuable.
But in the eyes of this young man, she felt as if she had become mediocre.
"Is it playing hard to get?"
She thought secretly in her heart.
If the other person is really interested in her and doesn't just want to have fun, she doesn't mind giving it a try. After all, she had no reason to reject a good-looking, clean and comely boy.
Especially with the surname Ying.
She had read a lot of romances over the years, and more than once imagined that a blind young man from an aristocratic family caught her eye at a glance in the crowd, then held her chin and said to her: "Woman, you aroused my excitement." interest."
Snapped.
Gu Jianlin's steps suddenly stopped.
Xia Zhi stopped the bicycle and found that his eyes had become inexplicably deep. The morning light reflected on his face through the scattered branches, and his slender and thin back seemed to melt into the beam of light.
The reason why Gu Jianlin stopped was because he had already crossed half of the city and arrived at the college area.
At the main entrance are two majestic sculptures, bathed in the clear morning light and shining brightly.
From ancient times to the present, only the sculptures of two people are most qualified to be placed here, because that couple is the founder of this college. They single-handedly created the golden age of mankind and are well-deserved leaders.
Too clear, too Chinese.
Just like Taihua killed Taiqing.
The murder planned by Gold, Silver and Platinum has not been disclosed to the public. So far, people thought that the president died and passed on his identity as the guardian of order to his students. Therefore, after the turmoil at the top, the grassroots basically It didn't create any waves, and we didn't even know anything about it.
"When did you come to the Central Spiritual Council?"
Gu Jianlin looked away and asked calmly.
"Humph, why should I tell you?"
Xia Zhi just looked arrogant for a moment, then she met the indifferent gaze like looking at a corpse. Her delicate body trembled slightly and she muttered: "Let me think about it, she was very young, probably nine years old."
"how old are you?"
"Twenty-six years old."
When Gu Jianlin heard this, he turned around and stared into her eyes.
Xia Zhi opened her beautiful eyes wide and blushed shyly, because the distance was too close and too ambiguous.
"You're twenty-six and you haven't graduated yet?"
Gu Jianlin felt puzzled, frowned and said, "Are you a working monkey?"
Just now he thought that his profile was wrong, but he didn't expect that he was actually twenty-six years old.
The shyness in Xia Zhi's eyes soon turned into anger, and he said fiercely: "Hey, twenty-six years old is very young, okay? There is no limit to learning and hard work, and ordinary girls like me don't have that much time to specialize. Academically. Because I have to support myself and my family, and accept at least eight bounties every month. Where can I find the time to study?"
Gu Jianlin shook his head. He really couldn't understand that he had already completed all three years of self-study courses in the first week of high school. Since then, he has never taken a class, but his grades are always in the top three.
If he wasn't afraid of being too famous, he could always remain number one in the school.
He glanced at her and said calmly: "That's why you repeated the grade."
Xia Zhi puffed up her cheeks and said angrily: "In the Central Spiritual School, repeating a grade is normal, okay? Besides, I was supposed to go for an internship, but something went wrong in the first week and I was fired by the company."
After many people go to the front line, they will come back halfway to retake their studies.
Therefore, repeating a grade or taking a break from school is indeed a normal phenomenon.
Gu Jianlin was rarely curious: "What's wrong?"
"We encountered two terrorists hijacking the plane."
Xia Zhi recalled yesterday's experience and said with some fear: "I heard that those two terrorists are probably the Red King and the Blue King! But I think it is just a rumor. Such terrifying characters should live in legends That’s right, it’s unlikely that you’ll be met by me like this, right?”
She shook her head quickly: "Bah, bah, bah, don't say those unlucky words. Anyway, I will stay in school this year and not go anywhere. Things will always change. Look, I will meet a rich man like you." ?"
She was referring to the rent for the past six months.
Gu Jianlin looked at her with a hint of pity.
"This year is definitely my last year in this college. If I hadn't only scored 80% in the practical class last year, I would have been able to find a better internship position, and I wouldn't have..." Xia Zhi said coquettishly.
Even for second-tier students, actual combat is compulsory. There are dedicated coaches to train according to textbooks. Every year, they are divided into two groups and graded through duels in the ring.
Usually it is a 100-point system, with 90% excellent and 80% passing.
Gu Jianlin felt strange again, frowned and said, "Do you still need to learn that stuff?"
I remember that in his first battle when he debuted, he killed the Ascendant as an ordinary person. After awakening, he killed the clown in the cafeteria of Fengcheng No. 2 Middle School without any systematic training.
Xia Zhi was just about to say that he sounded loud, but suddenly she thought of his identity, her beautiful eyes brightened, and she asked expectantly: "Since you are back from the front line, do you have time to teach me how to fight in practice? How can I get 90% in the exam?"
Gu Jianlin said indifferently: "If you stand and get beaten, just a few more points will be deducted."
Xia Zhi was speechless, thinking that she was really pretending.
Gu Jianlin hesitated for a moment, then explained: "Fighting requires speed, accuracy and ruthlessness, without so many bells and whistles. The human body's greatest weapon is actually the potential that explodes between life and death. How big your potential is determines who you are. How high is the upper limit? If you want to unleash your potential, the key is the anger and hatred in your heart."
Xia Zhi was confused after hearing this, and pointed at herself and said, "Then do I have potential?"
Gu Jianlin looked at her with even more pity: "No."
Xia Zhi gritted his teeth: "It sounds like you are great. Are you very talented?"
Gu Jianlin hummed.
Xia Zhi said angrily: "The number one in the Omega sequence?"
This is irony and ridicule. The real number one Omega should be this boy's brother.
Ying Changsheng's reputation in the academy is still very high.
Gu Jianlin waved his hand, too lazy to explain to her.
Being the first Omega is nothing.
If nothing else, he is number one in the world.

This was the first time Gu Jianlin came into contact with the Central Spiritual Shuyuan. His most intuitive feeling was that this place was not like a school, but a city that was under surveillance at all times. He took the subway all the way from the old neighborhood of the Fourth Ring Road. When I came here, I saw 3,657 cameras along the way, like pairs of cold eyes.
The greening in the hospital area is very good, and there are sweet-scented osmanthus trees on both sides of the avenue. There is a faint humming sound among the noisy trembling sound. It is the sound of drones hovering in the sky, which is not very obvious.
The old professor reading the newspaper on the roadside, the workers carrying materials, and the sanitation workers cleaning the streets all have unique life rhythms. Their behavior seems ordinary but reveals a sense of violation.
Obviously they are all monitors of this college.
The devil is often hidden in the details. The college is peaceful on the surface, but it is turbulent behind the scenes.
The Department of Alchemy and Archeology is located in the west area of the inner courtyard. The castle-like Western-style teaching building is as classical as a medieval church. The silence echoes with melodious bells as students walk across the lawn.
This is university life.
If there weren't those things, Gu Jianlin would come to this college to study in his spare time.
"Hurry, hurry, don't be late."
Xia Zhi walked into the classroom holding her books: "Hurry and grab a seat."
Gu Jianlin put on a baseball cap for himself, but he was not that urgent. The modern classroom was full of people, and the chaotic rhythm of life was noisy in his ears. Most of them were handsome men and beautiful women, and their eyes revealed that they had never experienced the world. He is so innocent that at first glance he looks like a child who has never been on a battlefield.
"Xia Xia, here."
Someone waved.
She was a tall girl with silver hair, her beautiful eyebrows were picturesque, her reserved and dignified smile adorned her face with makeup, she wore a red uniform jacket with a white shirt, and a pair of slender legs under a black pleated skirt. , stepping on thick-soled Mary Jane leather shoes, tapping the ground from time to time.
Her pupils were a very pale golden color, as if they were surging with hot lava.
Gu Jianlin could tell at a glance that this girl had practiced the Law of Zhuzhao.
It's a pity that I don't have enough practice to control my power well.
As for his appearance, it gave him a feeling of déjà vu.
When Xia Zhi saw this girl, a hint of concealed fear flashed deep in his eyes, and she secretly poked her waist: "This is Mu Shiyu, a young lady from the Mu family. She has a very famous brother... Lai Yin Vice president."
After finishing speaking, she raised her head and showed a bright smile: "Senior Mu."
Mu Shiyu nodded slightly. Different from her soft appearance, her eyes and voice were very cold, with an air of otherworldliness: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Come and sit with us."
Xia Zhi obviously didn't like sitting with her, but at this moment, she pretended to be very affectionate between sisters.
Seeing this, Gu Jianlin thought that women were indeed hypocritical.
But it's not enough for Xia Zhi. People like her need a little more tea if they want to live well.
As for the feeling that Mu Shiyu gave him, it was a bit subtle.
Because this girl is obviously learning from Thunder.
It's a pity that I still haven't learned enough.
He took a seat in the last row, looked at the blackboard at the end of the classroom, and was slightly startled.
Because what was listed on the blackboard were alchemical formulas that he couldn't understand at all, including all kinds of strange ancient totems, which could be roughly related to astronomy and astrology, and also included some spiritual genetics.
What really surprised him was that there was a cross-sectional view of the human body drawn on the blackboard. The spirals of genes spiraled upward from the left and right halves of the brain, and finally intertwined together to form a perfect closed loop.
This is...the spiritual genetic double helix!
Because on the left is a towering ancient tree, and on the right is a withered lotus.
The ancient totems are drawn with chalk lines, but they also have a strange magical quality and are very charming.
Gu Jianlin never expected to see such a thing in the courses of the Central Spiritual Shu Academy.
This is a big class in the Department of Alchemy and Archeology. There are more than 600 people present. Since the class has not officially started yet, the students are whispering quite noisily. The person writing on the blackboard is standing on the podium, as if he has not heard it.
He was an old man with a stooped back, his hair was already sparse and gray, and his side face was covered with wrinkles like growth rings. His simple clothes gave off a sense of age, and he looked like a decayed old tree standing in the sun.
He raised his hand, as if he wanted to add something among the totems of ancient trees and lotus flowers.
Finally, I put a question mark and threw away the pencil.
When he turned around, the room was silent.
The bell rings.
The students in the classroom stood up one after another and saluted respectfully.
In order to join the group, Gu Jianlin also bowed to the old man.
At this time, he suddenly discovered that there were four ghost-killing methods hidden beside the old man.
They are all in a blurred state, looming in the shadows of the classroom.
It is enough to show the aloof status of this old man.
"about there."
The old man put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Then..."
At this moment, sharp footsteps sounded in the corridor.
The expressions of the students in this classroom changed because they saw the black clothes flashing past the door.
The demon hunters wearing silver masks walked in. They bowed to the old man and silently handed over the movement permission certificate. Then they turned around and glanced at the students present with their sharp eyes.
The old man raised his eyebrows, obviously displeased, but didn't pay much attention.
"Have you offended anyone recently?"
Gu Jianlin was sitting in the back row playing with his mobile phone and said calmly.
Mu Shiyu reacted obviously faster, turned around and glanced at the young man coldly, then withdrew his gaze.
Xia Zhi didn't want to answer at all. She turned pale with fear and silently huddled in her seat, praying in her heart.
Unfortunately, prayer is useless.
Because the witcher found her at a glance, waved to his companions to follow, took out the gold handcuffs from behind, then took out the pistol from the pocket of his windbreaker, and loaded it silently.
This scene seems to happen often in the academy.
The vast majority of students have become accustomed to it and dare not speak out to provoke these evil stars.
Mu Shiyu glanced at them and continued to flip through the book as if he hadn't seen them.
Only Xia Zhi shivered with fear and tightened the hem of her school uniform, her palms covered in cold sweat.
Boom boom.
Her heart was beating.
She knew why these people came to her.
It was nothing more than a hijacking incident at Hongqiao Airport.
The witcher's torture yesterday had already caused her to almost faint. Today's attack was obviously menacing. Even the handcuffs were ready, and they were obviously preparing to detain her.
Everyone has heard of the prisons of the Inquisition.
Even if you are innocent, you have to shed a layer of skin before you can come out.
Xia Zhi didn't know what crime she had committed, but she had provoked these evil stars, and she was so aggrieved that she almost cried.
Gu Jianlin felt that this was not the case, because this girl was obviously a patient of Frieda Schizophrenia Syndrome. She was used as a host for experiments when she was nine years old, but she is now alive.
This is very unreasonable.
Lei Lei can survive because she comes from a noble family, and she cannot disappear for no reason.
Xia Zhi is different. She comes from an ordinary family and can be easily erased by the monastery.
The reason why she survived was most likely because she was one of the guinea pigs under observation.
The Priory needs to observe her growth data to continue studying the third method.
Now Qing and Chi have landed in the Demon City.
And he himself declared war in a high-profile manner.
This is bound to alarm the Priory. If they want to continue hiding, they must eliminate clues.
Xia Zhi just suffered an unreasonable disaster.
Pitiful.
Gu Jianlin looked at the trembling girl, his eyes becoming pitiful.
Snapped.
He suddenly stood up and strode towards the podium.
The students present looked at this scene in astonishment, wondering what this new face was going to do.
The old man raised his head, and his cloudy eyes suddenly became sharp.
Because Gu Jianlin took the chalk from his hand, erased the question mark, and drew a new totem.
"I know what you're looking for."
He said expressionlessly: "I have seen this totem before."
The old man raised his eyes, and his rickety waist suddenly straightened up. At this moment, the majestic momentum burst out, like a decayed dead tree coming to life again, and the crackling bones echoed in the classroom.
The sound was like thunder, and the demon hunters were so shocked that their eyesight turned black and their ears were ringing.
Not to mention those students who have never been on the battlefield.
In the silence, only the old man's voice sounded: "What is this thing called?"
Gu Jianlin threw away the chalk, stared at the totem on the blackboard, and said indifferently: "Colorless jade?"
