A Million Possible

Chapter 729 Three Years (Five Thousand Words)

Crimes against humanity.

Seeing this charge, Cheng Lin didn’t even have too many unexpected emotions. After he counter-killed the alliance of nations, it was inevitable that he would be wanted on a global scale.

At first he thought he would be a little angry, but found that he did not. Obviously, the life in the spirit world these days has made him look down on these things a lot.

Especially, considering that humans may only have three years left… why bother?

However, although it was not very unexpected, it still gave him some associations.

“Remember, in the third deduction, I was determined to be a crime against humanity because I sent that sentence to the starry sky, and I was wanted worldwide…”

Cheng Lin frowned, and it was the third deduction… Now in retrospect, the third deduction seemed to have a lot of “omen” from the beginning.

For example, the phrase “Hello, Cheng Lin”.

Such as becoming a “human traitor” and being wanted.

Another example… bats…

Cheng Lin shook his head and put these thoughts behind him. At this time, the waiter girl in the store walked over with a sweet smile, holding a small notebook and a ballpoint pen in her hand.

Under the “mental control” ability, she did not show any strangeness to the wanted criminal in front of her:

“What to eat?”

Cheng Lin condensed his thoughts, ordered a few side dishes, and waited to send her away.

He leaned on the seat and looked straight to the north, as if through countless distances and obstacles:

“I don’t know, how is everyone.”

…

…

Liao Province, the Ninth School of Spirituality.

When Huang Yin drove into this increasingly decent academy and walked down in the parking lot, the breath of winter came oncoming.

Even though she was not afraid of the severe cold, she still tightened her neckline instinctively, then tucked her hands in the pockets of her coat, and saw that the counselor had greeted her.

“Dean Huang.”

“Well, how is the situation in the college recently?” Huang Yin pushed down the small sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, and asked casually while walking along the main road.

“Everything is going well in the college. This group of students has officially started classes. Well, this group of students is pretty good. In addition, now I finally have experience in teaching, and the faculty has become a lot more professional… Dean Confucius said, yes. Confidence will pull up the graduation point average…”

“En.” Huang Yin nodded casually as she walked, but she thought in her heart that no matter how much she teaches, she might not be able to teach a student like Cheng Lin.

Thinking of this name, she looked a little dim, then suddenly remembered something like that, and asked:

“How about Sun Xiao’s Little Sister…?”

“Very good. She was assigned to the third class, temporarily serving as the squad leader, because her ability is weaker.”

“The problem is not big. Now the situation has changed. If there are no more accidents, the world’s power of cultivation will stabilize, and then there will be less and less friction in various countries, and more and more restraint. Practitioners who prefer combat ability will go on the road instead. It is narrower, and special powers like Sun Xiaohan are more valuable…Well, this is also a trend.” Huang Yin said indifferently.

After a pause, she added:

“About her Big Brother, we must keep it confidential, and we will reveal it after a while to prevent bad emotions among the students.”

“Yes.” The counselor nodded, and then he looked slightly regretful.

The announcement regarding Sun Xiao’s handling has been made public within the Jiu Division, and the contradiction regarding Lianshi Station has finally not been completely suppressed.

Although the Jiu Division provided a certain degree of protection, the impact was bad after all. In the end, the Jiu Division still gave him the punishment of dismissal.

Compared to what Sun Xiao did, this was an excellent result, but it was not very glorious after all.The other person who resigned was Hua Bei, but it was not a punishment, but instead she took the initiative to resign.

Regarding her interception order and revealing to Cheng Lin, I don’t know why, as if no one knew it, but after this matter, Hua Bei seemed to have no idea of ​​working in the special management department.

Perhaps, a peaceful Life is more suitable for her.

Walking on the campus in winter, Huang Yin talked with the counselor about the work, and when she was almost done, she had also come to the college square and saw the landscape boulder full of graduates’ names.

Waved his hand, the counselor left silently, and when she was the only one left in the big square, Huang Yin slowly walked to the boulder and saw that it was in the center. Not long ago, everyone in the academy was honored. Notorious name.

In the cold morning light, Huang Yin stood quietly for a long time, then raised her right hand and erased the name with her fingertips. After that, her eyes hidden behind her sunglasses suddenly became extremely complicated, muttering:

“Cheng Lin…”

…

…

Capital.

Although Cheng Lin’s disappearance was only a few days away, for most people, it had become a very distant concept from the moment he left the country.

It’s like people don’t pay much attention to wars and diseases in other countries, and they always feel that they are far away.

Of course, the more important factor is that everyone still needs Life after all.

In addition, it was probably the exhaustion of crossing the country and finally tossing people’s nerves. Therefore, the network mountain, those discussions about Cheng Lin suddenly faded.

Everything seemed to be back on track, but there were still undercurrents, and all countries were still guarding against the possible appearance of Cheng Lin, and no one knew where this “lunatic” would appear.

In this atmosphere, the special management department has also shifted to the strategy of “relaxing outside and tightening inside”. On the one hand, it is actively investigating, on the other hand, organizing people to guard against possible projections… In addition, a series of personnel changes are also happening. happen.

As Shi Shengcun said at the beginning, taking this opportunity, the special division departments in all regions of the country have undergone a reshuffle. Among them, the most unknown, but also caused the greatest internal turmoil, is the official “Li Yang” Replace Shi Shengcun and take over as the head of the division.

The reason was that Shi Shengcun needed to recover from his illness, so he resigned and retreated to the second line.

…

Yanshan.

Today’s Yanshan is much calmer than the previous few days, and the staff walking here don’t have to be in such a hurry.

In the ancient Taoist temple near the top of the mountain, it is still quiet, but only the people of Yiji know that the quietness is different today.

“That’s it, mail it home for me, trouble.”

When Liang Jing approached the courtyard, he saw the door to the elegant house in the ancient hometown open. The two department clerks were each carrying a small cardboard box. At this moment, they walked out of the house and nodded at her. Left.

Today is the day when Shi Shengcun officially left the First Division, but it’s hard for anyone to think that after working here for so long, the personal belongings he took away were only so little.

Liang Jing watched the two people walk away before looking at the figure standing in front of the door again, and then her expression suddenly fluctuated, because she suddenly discovered that the figure standing under the porch actually It shows obvious weakness.

Shi Shengcun was not wearing a uniform, his face was vicissitudes of life, his skin was dull, and his black hair that had always been shiny was white, yellow, and scribbled.

Compared to his appearance in the special department a few days ago, he seemed to be several years old all of a sudden, and his eyes were also a lot faint.

At this moment, he also noticed Liang Jing, so he smiled weakly, as if he wanted to say hello, but suddenly coughed uncontrollably, and subconsciously covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

“How are you…” Liang Jing hurried over and asked.

Immediately, I saw Shi Shengcun waved his hand and coughed for a while, his face became paler: “It’s okay.”

Liang Jing was silent and said, “Your situation is very bad.”

This is a statement tone, because she is sure of this, not just because of the other’s performance, but also because she knows him well enough, so she is more convinced.

“Otherwise why do you think I should resign?”

“I thought… it was just an excuse to recover from illness.”

Shi Shengcun smiled bitterly: “Where are there so many excuses.”

Liang Jing didn’t speak, but there was more worry and doubt in his eyes.

In her memory, although Shi Shengcun was seriously injured in the battle with Lancelot, he had already contained the situation and started to recover… Then, since when did it suddenly deteriorate?

She thought for a while, and then remembered that the transformation probably happened after the projection disaster.

From then on, Shi Shengcun seemed to have suddenly worsened his injury and became weak quickly.

At the time, she just thought it was a lack of rest, but now recalling all the things during that time, she always felt a little suspicious.

This is also the reason why she finally decided to come here today. She was afraid that when the other party left, she would never have the opportunity to ask again.

“Something? Or just a goodbye?”

In the small courtyard, the wind was very light, which made people feel peaceful, Shi Shengcun looked at her.

Liang Jing took a deep breath and said:

“In the past few days, I have been hiding in the mountains without doing anything. I have been confused for a while. I have also been waiting for the results of the department’s processing, but I have not waited until.”

“I said, it’s not your fault.” Shi Shengcun said calmly.

He understood that Liang Jing was referring to the leak of the “top secret document” that was stolen by Secretary Zhao.

After the incident, Liang Jing almost collapsed with guilt, but now it seems that she should have eased up.

“Why is it not my fault?” Liang Jing asked back, and then before he could answer, he said to himself, “I know, you must say that in accordance with the process, it is also in accordance with the rules to hand it over to him, so I don’t need to blame too much… …However, I have been hiding in the room these days and thought about it seriously, and found some problems that I hadn’t noticed before.”

“what is the problem?”

“My mental state was very wrong that day. It was very wrong since I woke up. I originally thought it was caused by fatigue from fighting, but I still feel that something is wrong.”

Liang Jing paused and continued:

“What happened that day was also a coincidence. Whether you asked me to forward the document or when I arrived, the Minister happened to be in a meeting… It was a coincidence. Although it seems reasonable, according to your habit, even if you let me forward it. , It should also focus on reminders, but you don’t.”

“The thing that makes me feel the most wrong is that I didn’t get any punishment. Based on my understanding of the department, even if the main responsibility for this matter is not with me, I will certainly admit the secondary responsibility… even if you secretly blocked it for me. , But some criticisms are always unavoidable. After all, you are not the leader of the Special Administrative Department, and the Minister strangely remained silent during the whole process.”

Liang Jing said a lot in one breath.

On Shi Shengcun’s pale and weak face, the smile gradually faded away: “So, what do you want to say?”

Liang Jing stared at him quietly and asked: “I just want to ask, did you arrange all this?”

The atmosphere in the small courtyard suddenly became gloomy.

The wind was louder, and the bare branches made a whine.

There was silence for a while, and the expression on Shi Shengcun’s face kept changing, and finally he revealed a complicated smile:

“A woman’s sixth sense…maybe it is a natural ability in itself…yes, you guessed it, I arranged it.”

Hearing this answer, Liang Jing’s body trembled slightly, even though she was expecting it, when she really heard the answer, she still froze for a while before subconsciously raising her voice:

“Why? Is it just to catch a high-level spy?”

“Of course not,” Shi Shengcun said calmly, “this is just an incidental benefit. As for what it is for, you should have already guessed it.”

“Cheng Lin?” Liang Jing could hardly spit out the name. “Are you trying to get rid of him? Because of the projection of the disaster, so you feel uneasy? In order to prevent future troubles? No… If it is just for this, you can completely change it. This matter is hidden from the past, and after the matter is over, you can use a more gentle method to achieve the goal. You will not fail to understand this. Cheng Lin is a bomb. You can’t fail to understand the harm of forcibly detonating him!”

“Yes, I know this very well,” Shi Shengcun replied blankly, “and what I know more clearly is that even if things can be suppressed temporarily by concealment, the bomb will still exist after all, and it will follow. Time is getting stronger…I have the confidence to control the situation, but this is only limited to when I am still alive.”

Liang Jing was startled: “What do you mean?”

Shi Shengcun said calmly: “I can’t live long.”

“?!!!”

When he heard him say these words in a plain tone, Liang Jing was completely stunned, her eyes rounded:

“What did you say?”

“I won’t live long,” Shi Shengcun repeated again, and then smiled bitterly, “I’m sorry, I concealed my injury, or that I overestimated myself.”

Looking at Liang Jing who was completely stunned, Shi Shengcun sighed lightly and narrated:”As you said, I could have dealt with Cheng Lin’s question in a more gentle way, but…I can’t be sure that my own idea must be correct, so I took the risk and did another divination…

You should remember that the last time I was injured was because of this. I originally thought I could be careful enough to get results and avoid serious injuries… But I overestimated myself. ”

He smiled bitterly and said:

“Although I got the revelation I wanted, I was hit hard again, and because of this, the injury that had stabilized was completely irreparable… From then on, I knew that I would not live long…”

“Cheng Lin entered the bureau for a very short time, and his foundation is too shallow. In addition, the projection disaster is directly related to him… This almost destined that his short-term conflicts with many people could not be resolved. After the disaster ended, Xu Qu and the others ran over. Xingshi’s questioning is the proof…

When I am alive, I can still reconcile in the middle, but… once I die, who can control the situation?

At that time, the hidden contradictions between Cheng Lin and various departments will inevitably erupt…At that time, no one can stop him. ”

“As you said, he is a bomb that will explode at any time, and those idiots don’t realize this… and once he detonates in the country, the consequences will be disastrous.”

“So?” Liang Jing asked.

“So, I can only choose to detonate in advance, before he has grown to be unable to defeat, detonate… In this way, there are only two results, either, we, or all countries, together, pay a certain price and kill him. , Or he fled overseas and went into hiding.”

“The former, I admit that it is very cold-blooded, but it is very effective, and can fundamentally solve the problem. As for the latter, it can only delay the danger, but as long as he leaves the border, then… at least, the domestic impact will be small. Some.”

After speaking, he paused, shook his head and said with emotion:

“It’s just… I really didn’t expect that he would be able to Ascension his power to such a point in a short time… I admit that this is beyond my expectation, but… If I were to make a choice again, I would probably It will still be like this.”

After stopping, he looked at Liang Jing and added:

“By the way, I discussed this idea with the minister on the phone in advance. This is also a decision we made together. Therefore, you can understand that this is a scene we played together… I’m sorry, I concealed you before. , But it doesn’t matter to say it now.”

Liang Jing stood on the spot and hadn’t recovered for a long time. She didn’t expect that there would be so many things behind everything.

Immediately, she frowned subconsciously and asked:

“No, there is still a problem here. If Cheng Lin didn’t choose to escape, but immediately started attacking the people and venting his anger after receiving the news, what should I do?”

She caught the crux in an instant.

Hearing what she said, Shi Shengcun smiled and said:

“So, this is the enlightenment I got from divination, he… won’t do that kind of thing.”

With that said, Shi Shengcun took a step forward, walked out, and said as he walked:

“If there were no accidents, he would probably choose to live in secret from now on, and there would be no projections. Don’t worry, don’t forget who he was because of those reports. He… is not bad.”

“Okay, I have answered your question, so don’t bother me, just let me… finish the last part of my life quietly…cough…cough…”

Accompanied by the coughing sound, the voice drifted away, leaving only Liang Jing standing alone in the courtyard.

…

…

In a daze, the whole hill was filled with greenery again.

It’s another spring.

Then it was midsummer…golden autumn…and the vast snow.

Time seemed to become blurred, everything became calm, as at the beginning.

In the same year, Shi Shengcun was found dead in his home mansion, which did not cause much disturbance, and the funeral was simple. According to his wishes, his body was burned to ashes and sprinkled into the Yellow River and the Yangtze River in half.

At about the same time, Lancelot died on the hospital bed, too, not widely known.

The pursuit of Cheng Lin continued, but no one found his trace again. Gradually, this incident was also forgotten.

The projection also never appeared again, and the world of spiritual practice has also stepped into peace and gradually prospered.

Everything is getting better.

So, in a flash, three years have passed.
