This question made Lu Xin stunned on the spot.
Many memories from the past flashed through my mind, as well as that clear touch.
For example, in the orphanage, I couldn't understand everything, felt pain for the first time, felt guilt for the first time, worked hard to learn from others because of fear, worked hard to survive those years of depression and confusion, and slowly gained a clear perception...
"The problem with other people's strength is how to break the limit and enter the fifth step."
Professor Bai warned gently, saying, "And you are already on the fifth step, and you even have something beyond the fifth step. Therefore, you only need to let yourself better understand the fifth step, and if you can better build your own spiritual core."
"You need to know that everyone has his own spiritual core."
"As long as your spiritual core is strong and firm enough, you will never collapse and can master greater power."
"The spiritual core is the only way to fight against pollution."
"And divinity is also a kind of pollution."
"So..."
He smiled, patted Lu Xin on the shoulder, and his eyes showed an encouraging light. "Never be afraid, don't be afraid that a more powerful divinity will ruin your life, and don't be afraid that one day you will become someone you are unfamiliar with, and don't worry that your pursuit of divinity will make you lose your hard-earned clear humanity..."
"Humanity and divinity are not mutually exclusive, they complement each other."
"Only greater humanity can carry the endless divine power..."
"..."
"..."
Professor Bai's words made Lu Xin feel endless confusion in his heart, and soon he had a feeling of enlightenment.
He had a strange feeling.
Professor Bai seems to have really seen through his own heart and seen the confusion deep in his heart. There are some problems that even he himself could not see so clearly before. But at this time, because of his words, all the fog was slowly cleared away...
Is it really that simple?
Yes.
There are some issues that I don't understand.
But when others tell you, you will immediately understand that this is indeed the case.
Wrong answers will not resonate with you.
When Professor Bai patted his shoulder gently and cast an encouraging look at himself, Lu Xin even felt an unprecedented touch. It was as if his hard work had finally been recognized by others. The depression and confusion that he had been unable to express to others finally met someone who could understand him, and he discussed it with himself with a smile...
At this moment, his eyes were slightly moist.
"Everyone, this time, I invite you all to come over. This is all I have to say."
While Lu Xin was moved and unable to control his thoughts, Professor Bai walked back to the podium and looked up at the people in the auditorium. He nodded gently and said, "I also know that these things may make you fall into a certain panic, confusion, or doubt of your self-worth, but I hope that you can make adjustments as soon as possible and look for truth under the Crimson Moon."
"The three prophecies left by the genius researcher said that God will not let the remaining people go. That is because once some changes start, they can never be stopped, just like the flood will not change its flow because of the prayers of ants..."
"But I want everyone to understand that before the flood comes, we will never give in early, even for a second..."
"I believe that our twisted world under Crimson Moon will surely have the ultimate hope."
"We are willing to sacrifice everything for this."
"..."
After saying this, he gently closed the handout on the podium.
Then, he turned to look at Lu Xin, nodded slightly, turned around, and slowly walked out of the auditorium.
Until his figure completely disappeared outside the auditorium. In this turbulent auditorium, someone suddenly understood.
Somewhat excitedly, he stood up and bowed slightly toward the door of the auditorium.
Immediately more people understood, stood up, and bowed towards the door.
Even the things he said were depressing.
Even if he simply pointed out the essence of a few problems.
But these researchers understand how valuable the content shared in this class just now is.
Quietly, quietly...
Among the people bowing, Lu Xin suddenly reacted.
He stood up suddenly, but did not bow. Instead, in his mind, he kept thinking about what Professor Bai said to him, his expression when he said those words to himself, and his warm and appreciative eyes when he looked at him encouragingly.
"Professor Bai..."
He suddenly spoke tremblingly, "Professor Bai Do you usually smoke?"
His voice was louder, attracting many people at once, and they all looked at him in confusion.
"It's smoked..."
Someone reacted, it was Han Bing, and hurriedly replied to Lu Xin, "He occasionally uses a pipe to smoke specially made cigar tobacco."
"No, not a pipe..."
Lu Xin said anxiously, "It's just the kind of ordinary, low-quality cigarettes..."
His anxious expression and the questions he asked left many people confused.
Many people shook their heads. "That's not possible. Professor Bai's taste in life has always been very particular..."
Lu Xin got the answer.
Then he suddenly understood. If Professor Bai wouldn't smoke such low-quality cigarettes, then what about the strong and familiar smell of low-quality tobacco when he approached him just now and patted his shoulder with a smile?
What about his familiar eyes and words of encouragement?
"Uh-huh!"
In the eyes of everyone around him, Lu Xin suddenly seemed to be electrocuted, his body suddenly became abnormally twisted, and he ran out of the auditorium like a ghost.
His sister was not around, and he didn't have time to wait for her to appear. But because he was extremely anxious, his speed was almost as fast as when his sister helped him, and he was out of the auditorium in an instant.
He flashed in front of Kid, and rushed to the wall of the building next to him. He ran continuously, passing through several school buildings as quickly as a spider, and came directly to the entrance of the college. He looked at the gate of the college from a distance...
He saw Professor Bai sitting on the edge of the flower pond, gently beating his head.
At the same time, there was a car outside the college gate. It started slowly and turned into an alley.
"Papa pa pa"
Lu Xin jumped down from a very high building. While his feet touched the ground, he used two hands to help him and rushed forward quickly. Before the gun-wielding guard at the entrance of the college could react, he rushed out and jumped to the wall next to the alley.
However, it was empty, just a dead end and nothing.
There was a car driving in just now, but now it is empty, not even a shadow is missing.
Lu Xin stared blankly at this alley for a long time before slowly standing down.
In the astonished eyes of the gun-wielding guard, he walked back to the academy a little frustrated and confused, and came to Professor Bai.
Professor Bai seemed to be in pain at this time, lightly beating his forehead, and his palms were trembling.
There seemed to be more bloodshot eyes in his eyes, but the seriousness and sharpness he had during the lecture had disappeared. Standing next to him, Lu Xin could even feel that his mental power was in a state of chaos and was slowly, little by little, calming down.
"You..."
Sensing Lu Xin coming to his side, he raised his head slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Have you noticed it?"
Lu Xin was a little dazed. After a while, he nodded slightly and said, "The person who gave the lecture just now was indeed... him?"
"Yes."
Professor Bai shook his head vigorously, and his normally neatly combed hair looked a little messy.
There seemed to be a faint hint of fear in the voice that could not be eliminated:
"Eclipse Research Institute's defected researcher is also Old Director Wang Jingyun of Crimson Moon Orphanage. I didn't expect that he suddenly came to Qinggang and came directly to my office. He said that it was not the time to teach philosophy yet and he wanted to teach this lesson for me..."
"As for me, although I have made a lot of preparations for emergencies, I still can't express my refusal..."
"..."
Even though he had already guessed it, Lu Xin's heart still sank when he heard Professor Bai's admission.
Yes...
If it wasn't Old Director, why would there be such a strong smell of inferior tobacco on my body?
If it wasn't Old Director, how could he have said those words and given himself such in-depth guidance?
If it wasn't Old Director, how could he look at himself like that?
But why did he suddenly appear in Qinggang?
Just to teach yourself such a lesson?
At the same time, an ordinary jeep was driving quietly along the path in the wilderness outside Qinggang.
The driver was a woman with tattoos all over her body. She was wearing a midriff-baring dress, but there was a circle of hideous scars on her waist. Behind her, there was an old man wearing Zhongshan suit sitting in the back seat. He gently rubbed his forehead and slowly took out a cigarette.
"Stop smoking."
The woman suddenly slapped the steering wheel hard and said angrily, "It smells very strong, don't you know?"
The old man was startled, then smiled and put the cigarette away and carefully put it back in the box.
But his tolerance did not make the woman happy at all. Instead, she felt even more angry. He looked at the rearview mirror fiercely and gritted his teeth and said, "You came all this way. You knew that so many people and even so many monsters were looking for you, and you didn't hesitate to risk your identity, so you just ran here in person to teach him such a lesson?"
A quiet smile appeared on the old man's face.
After a while, he said softly, "It's worth it."
"You..."
The woman almost lost control of her emotions and said harshly, "Are you so afraid that he won't be able to pass the next trial?"
The old man looked silently out of the car window at the sky above Qinggang and said, "He is different from you, really."
"It's not easy to live up to now with something like that on your back."
"So before the trial started, I opened a small stove for him and pointed him in the direction. This is also the reward he deserves."
I woke up late. I was too tired recently. Three alarm bells didn't wake me up, and my head was like a ball of mush.
