Chapter 1043 The only Destination for People’s Hearts Is Tao and Righteousness

Ye Sheng and Shu De Aki.

Chu Zihang remembered these two names. They were the two great contributors to the Kuimen Project and the most outstanding underwater specialists in the execution department. They even worked together in the subsequent 'Bronze Project'.

Even though Ye Sheng and Ya Ji didn't perform well that time, and they didn't get their turn in combat or diving, they also provided valuable past experience in the pre-war meeting, which saved Chu Zihang and others a lot of trouble. pit.

Although Ye Shengyaji and Chu Zihang did not have any communication in the Bronze Project, the two parties had met each other tentatively. However, Ye Sheng was still very particular about the greeting he saw Chu Zihang after opening the door. This is also Chu Zihang couldn't help but be concerned about their arrival, which also caused his replies to have to be cautious and thoughtful.

"I am the current president of the Lion Heart Club, and I am surprised to hear that I am famous for a long time. May I ask why you came here to find Lin Nian? Did anyone tell you that he was here?" Chu Zihang and Ye Sheng held hands in their hands. The hands that were together moved downwards gently and then separated.

Ye Sheng still maintained a friendly smile and nodded, "I heard that Lin Nian is a member of the Lion Heart Club, and he is also a close friend with President Chu, so I think that if you want to find Lin Nian, you have to find someone first. This is the one in the school right now." In terms of the situation.”

"Is that why you came directly to Norton Hall?" Chu Zihang couldn't find fault with this answer.

"Yes, is Lin Nian still in the Norton Hall now? I want to catch up with him to catch up on old times." Ye Sheng nodded politely and glanced at the guild hall, which still maintained its intact structure at the epicenter of the earthquake.

"I'm sorry, Lin Nian is not in Norton Hall. You can go to the dormitory to look for him, or ask other people if they have seen him nearby." Chu Zihang shook his head and rejected the other party's intention to enter Norton Hall as a guest. request.

He didn't know much about Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki. He only knew that these two people and Lin Nian once went on a mission together. That time ended with Lin Nian and the principal working together to kill a noble second-generation species, but Whether the specific process was beautiful or not, and what role these two people played in the mission, he had no idea.

At most, Chu Zihang can only confirm that there is no apparent conflict between Lin Nian, Ye Sheng and Ya Ji. This can be concluded from the state of communication between the two parties in the Bronze Project, but this is only on the surface.

The other party said that he and Lin Nian were friends. The definition of "friend" is very broad. Basically 80% of the people in Kassel College can be friends with Lin Nian. This kind of superficial relationship is not enough to make Chu Zihang looked at the executive department senior who had already graduated from a more friendly perspective.

In special times, Chu Zihang must be cautious, and he is a cautious person himself.

After Chu Zihang finished speaking, he took a step back and reached out to close the door, but just as half of the door was about to close, Ye Sheng stretched out his hand to hold the door.

"Please make it easier." Ye Sheng tilted his head to look at Chu Zihang and said with a wry smile.

"This is not a matter of inconvenience. I really don't know where Lin Nian is." Chu Zihang still refused, and silently made up his mind that if the other party still refused to let him make an oath or something, he would add more He squeezed his hand hard with the door panel.

Perhaps this senior is much ahead in terms of experience in the executive department, but in terms of a simple confrontation of strength, Chu Zihang will not lose to any official member of the executive department.

Before Ye Sheng said anything, another hand gently held the door, and Jiude Aji's gentle voice came from outside the door, "This time we are mainly here to express our gratitude to classmate Lin Nian. Whether it was the earliest cooperation, In the last Yangtze River mission, we didn’t even have time to thank him in person.”

Chu Zihang did not increase the strength in his hand and stopped. Jiude Aji outside the door continued to speak slowly, "Ye Sheng and I have discussed this matter many times, and finally we decided that we should come to Lin Nian's door in person. Thank you, because he saved two of our lives, which we can't repay. But in the culture of my country, there has always been 'karma retribution: the same cause and effect, also known as the law of cause and effect. In Japan In culture, people generally believe that doing good deeds will bring good luck, while doing bad deeds will lead to misfortune.)', so we should repay, a grain of rice, a roll of silk, a rod of rice, even if these forces have It cannot play a decisive role."

Chu Zihang was silent and didn't answer, but he didn't open the door either. Because it's not his time to respond at this time, and someone will give a suitable answer at the same time.

"Let them in." Lin Nian's voice sounded from the stairs.

Chu Zihang let go of his hand and turned around to see the other person walking down the stairs with his right hand gently supporting the handrail. He walked up to Chu Zihang and gave him a calming look. Chu Zihang then stepped aside without saying a word. road.

After half the door was opened, Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki finally met Lin Nian. Both of them had bright smiles on their faces, but they also exercised a lot of restraint and did not give a hug or anything, because They all know that the current situation is not suitable for them to do something that may be misleading before completely speaking out.

"Why are you back? Are the external activities of the Executive Department now relaxed enough to allow the elites who are the mainstay to go back to school and miss their old early life?" Lin Nian smiled like he hadn't seen him for a long time when he saw his old friends. He and Ye Sheng and Aki got along quite well with each other, starting from the chance acquaintance in Brooklyn. Later, the Kuimen Project and the Bronze Project deepened their understanding of each other, and they could be considered to agree with each other from the bottom of their hearts.

"It's okay to miss the elegance of the young junior girls in the school with their skirts flying. (His expression tensed up for no reason at this point, probably because he was stepped on where Lin Nian and others couldn't see it.) Even if it's eight in the morning, it's fine. Okay. And we are actually returning from absence from work in a strict sense." Ye Sheng shrugged, and he breathed a sigh of relief silently after seeing that Lin Nian was safe and sound.

"It said inside, have seniors had breakfast?" Lin Nian motioned for them to come in, turned around and walked inside.

"After eating, I ate two pork knuckles when I passed by the canteen on the way. The taste was still familiar, but it was a little cold. It must have been leftover from the night before and was a bit stale. So the taste became more familiar." Ye Sheng happily said He crossed the threshold and entered the Norton Hall, followed by Jiudoku Aki. After entering, he did not forget to bow slightly to Chu Zihang and the cadre brothers who were watching the night to show their annoyance. The etiquette was hard to fault.

Lin Nian led the two of them through the lobby area of ​​the Norton Hall toward the deeper conference room area. It was closer to the inside of the first-floor hall and had good sound insulation and privacy. Chatting there would not disturb the other two. Lionheart Club officers resting in the guest room upstairs.

"Speaking of it, this is my first time to come to Norton Hall." Ye Sheng looked up at the tall ceiling of Norton Hall. There are murals left by the older generation of Lionheart Society, which depict the gods and giants in Nordic mythology. and figures, the style is reminiscent of Horchet Castle or Akregusta Monastery.

When Shutoku Aki passed by one of the stands, he was attracted by the wood carving on the stand. It was a wolf fang. In addition to murals, you can also see inlaid wood carvings on walls, ceilings, doors and windows everywhere. This artistic style is different. Traditional architectural styles also vary between countries and regions.

German Gothic architecture often uses abstract images of flowers, animals and figures, while Elizabethan architecture in England often uses classical geometric patterns and scenes of nature. However, in the Norton Hall, these wood carvings and The murals on the ceiling are similar, mostly with themes from Norse mythology. For example, the wolf fangs that attracted Shude Aki come from the giant wolf in Norse mythology. Legend has it that when he opens his mouth, his upper and lower jaws can hold up the sky and the earth.

These wood carvings and murals coincide with the fact that mixed-race people have always believed that dragons are closely connected with myths and legends in the world. Art is a witness of history and culture, recording the customs, history and culture of ancient society, so mixed-race people I am always willing to spend a lot of time admiring them and studying them, hoping to uncover the mystery of the dragon civilization from the myths.

"Is the stake for one day of freedom now still the ownership of Norton Hall for a whole semester?" Ye Sheng asked.

"It's always been the case." Lin Nian said, "We have never exported it."

"This year's Lion Heart Club has strong opponents, but luckily it also has a wise president and a strong enough right-hand man." Ye Sheng commented pertinently. He had a good impression of Chu Zihang, who was standing in front of the door just now Judging from the conversation, Chu Zihang's cautious and courteous response gained him a lot of points. Even if such a young man is directly put into the execution department and becomes a regular member, he will probably become a trump card in a short time, right?

Sure enough, excellent people are surrounded by such geniuses.

Ye Sheng glanced at the back of Lin Nian who was walking in front. The former opened the door of the conference room and invited them in for a chat.

Entering the conference room, the skylight was still not bright outside the stained glass window, so the chandelier in the room was lit by Chu Zihang who came in later. Lin Nian sat on the chair on the side of the conference room. Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya Ji found a nearby seat and sat down.

"It's been a while." Ye Sheng looked at Lin Nian for a while and sighed, "You are already a junior this year, right? I remember you were only a freshman when we first met."

"This emotion as an opening remark gave me the feeling of a father feeling relieved when his child has finally grown up." Lin Nian always has a sense of humor in front of his friends.

"Then I apologize." Ye Sheng laughed without sincerity, "Maybe this kind of opening statement is better for Yaji?"

"My words may make the atmosphere too formal." Shude Aki smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Everyone was laughing, but no one looked too relaxed.

"What does the absenteeism that the senior mentioned before mean? Does the Executive Department still allow commissioners to be absent from work now?"

Ye Sheng raised his head slightly and said, "Ah, of course it's not allowed. So after returning to school this time, you should be punished by the execution department, right? Maybe you will be assigned to a marginal, more difficult place to go on a mission for a few months, or even half a year or more?" Aki and I are first-time offenders, so it shouldn’t be too serious.”

"It's not worth it." Lin Nian shook his head and said.

The conference room was quiet for a few seconds. Ye Sheng raised his hand and scratched his head, while Ya Ji on the side shook his head.

"There is nothing that is not worth it." She said softly, "Whether something is worth it philosophically depends on the person's moral and ethical standards. Ye Sheng and I have never been morally noble people, so we have to decide whether it is worth it or not. When it is not worth it, we only consider the control of personal emotions, often ignoring morality and ethics. We will always make some sacrifices in order to pursue some emotions, just because these emotions can make us feel at ease in the future."

"The sacrifice is a bit too great. Coming back at this point means a lot, maybe more than you have ever considered. The current situation is very messy and cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences."

Of course Lin Nian knew why Ye Sheng and Yaji came back here and came to Norton Hall. Some things don't need to be said on the table. Just a meeting and a handshake can contain all their thoughts.

That's why Lin Nian thinks it's not worth it. There is absolutely no need for Ye Sheng and Ya Ji to make such a trip. The two of them can't change many things, but it will stain their future careers in the executive department and even the secret party. After all, when it comes to excluding dissidents, never underestimate the power of those above.

"This is an attitude, Lin Nian." Ye Sheng put the index finger of his right hand on the lip line of his lips and leaned his elbow on the conference table, "Neither Aki nor I care whether we can change anything with this trip, but at least We need to show our attitude first. Regardless of success or failure, attitude is the basis of action. If we do nothing because we can't do anything, what is the difference between this and acquiescing that the current general trend is correct? I Neither Aki nor I can do this kind of thing."

"This is true," Lin Nian whispered.

He could understand what Ye Sheng meant, but he still felt that it was unnecessary. When his personal ability was not enough to influence the situation, he had to stand up for his own future. This kind of sacrifice was too great. As a friend, he I think this is extremely irrational, and I tend to refuse in my heart, but I cannot say this refusal because it is an insult to this sincere attitude.

"How did you know about the current situation in the school?" Chu Zihang, who had been standing silently in the corner, suddenly spoke.

"The Night Watch Forum is going crazy right now, and it's all about the hearing. The moderators of the Night Watch Forum are probably on your side, and they haven't interfered in any heated discussions on related sensitive issues, which makes the situation worse. It has escalated further, and now almost everyone in the secret party knows that such a hearing about you is about to be held, and almost everyone inside and outside the school is paying attention to the current situation in the school." Shude Aki said softly.

"Where is the direction of public opinion?" Chu Zihang asked.

"It was fine before, but now..." Shuode Aki's voice dropped.

"The investigation team has begun to work hard. They have conducted many examples and demonstrated an 'S'-level student who is violent, arbitrary, willful, and has an extremely unstable pedigree." Ye Sheng said slowly, "The direction of public opinion has begun. Things have changed, and many people who originally believed that this hearing was unreasonable have begun to lean towards neutrality and no longer easily take sides. If the investigation team can have any other strong arguments in the future, it is not impossible for public opinion to be completely deflected."

"We saw what might happen, so we came back." Shutoku Aki looked at Lin Nian and said seriously, "dust can accumulate もれば山となる, this sentence in my hometown means that dust can also accumulate. The accumulation of small things will definitely turn into big things. I believe that with the change of public opinion, it is very likely that the investigation team will benefit. At that time, you need a pertinent voice to support and rely on you."

".You want to attend the hearing?"

"It's not just about auditing. If you need it, we can become witnesses and vouch for you." Shutoku Aki said seriously, "Hainen Yuki, you really don't have to think about what this will bring to us. Because now that we are sitting here it means we are willing to bear all the consequences, and this is a carefully considered choice."

"A life-saving grace is one thing. We are not coming back this time to repay the life-saving grace." Ye Sheng held his forehead with his left hand and looked at the silent Lin Nian with firm eyes, "It's just because of the life-saving grace, so We know what kind of person you are, and whether you are worth what we do. This time Aki and I are on your side, and we still owe you a life, which are two different things."

Chu Zihang lowered his eyes slightly, Lin Nian exhaled silently, stood up from the chair, looked up at Ye Sheng with clear eyes, and stretched out his right hand.

After seeing this, Ye Sheng also stood up and held his right hand. Not satisfied with this, he used half of his strength to close the distance between the two of them. They leaned shoulder to shoulder and patted Lin Nian's with his left hand. Back, "Many people think that this team-up is a gamble. Although I don't want to get anything from this gamble, I am still willing to put my chips in.

Brother, I bet you win this time. "

Shutoku Aki also stood up, bowed slightly to Lin Nian, gave him a warm and affectionate hug, and said in Lin Nian's ear: "Ganbatte."

"Just stay in the Norton Hall for the time being. The hearing is tomorrow. You shouldn't have much room to stay tonight. You won't go to the Hall of Valor Square to fight for tents with students." Lin Nian looked at Chu Zihang, who also Nodding in agreement.

"Do the Lion Heart Club still have many empty guest rooms?" Ye Sheng asked, raising his eyebrows.

Lin Nian looked at Ye Sheng. After thinking for a moment, he glanced at Chu Zihang and said, "There are not many guest rooms left. There should be one left? Can you two make do with it?"

Shuode Aki was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to avoid Lin Nian's sight, his face showing signs of blushing. This made Lin Nian couldn't help but think about the open-mindedness of girls in Japan, but looking at the progress of the pair of seniors, he felt that the innocent Japan in anime still existed.

"If possible, I suggest Hayashi to use more guest rooms." Shutoku Aki said in a low voice.

Lin Nian and Ye Sheng looked at each other. It probably meant that you were really touched when you won against your brother in a bet, but I really can't help you in this matter. I only blame you for not living up to your expectations. You haven't found someone who likes you for so long. Girl, the senior’s qualifications are just crying.

But he actually forgot that he and Su Xiaoqiang also ran for three years before stumbling together. But it took less than a year to have a sexual relationship. Perhaps this is another transcendent victory for the younger generation over the older generation?

Probably because he saw Lin Nian's eyes and expression were a bit strange, Shuode Aki was startled for a moment and then said quickly, "I didn't mean that. I mean, I don't think we are the only guests."

"What do you mean by not being the only guest?" Chu Zihang asked, but before he could ask, the door of the conference room next to him was knocked.

Chu Zihang opened the door and found that it was the cadre brother who had been guarding the door at night. He came to Chu Zihang and whispered a few words. His face was a little tangled and helpless. Chu Zihang just nodded after hearing this, and a flash of light passed through his eyes. With a hint of expectation, he said that he would handle it and then asked this cadre to help Ye Sheng and Aji handle the temporary room affairs.

"Are we here already? It seems we are not the only ones who are impatient." Ye Sheng smiled lowly and patted Lin Nian's shoulder. Without saying anything else, he and Yaji walked towards the door of the conference room. The cadres also said to The two gestured and led them out of the conference room.

It wasn't until Ye Sheng and Ya Ji left that Lin Nian looked at Chu Zihang and said, "What does this mean?"

"You should have guessed it." Chu Zihang turned around and walked out of the conference room.

"." Lin Nian followed him and sighed softly after being silent for a while.

They returned all the way to the gate of the Norton Hall. As soon as they walked into the lobby, they saw a woman wearing a white cap and holding a black backpack in one hand, who looked like a tourist checking in at a tourist attraction. She looked up and turned around in the hall to admire the murals and murals. The inlaid wood carving has a very leisurely posture and expression, and he even had the intention to pull out something that looks like Sinan and shake it left and right.

Chu Zihang took one glance at the other person's features. A large strand of black hair spilled out from behind his hat was covered with dust. It looked like he was in a hurry so he didn't have time to wash and comb it. He was wearing a brown leather jacket, and his lower body was covered with dust. Paired with jeans and women's sandals, it doesn't look like a student in school, but more like a backpacker.

Lin Nian, who was approaching, just saw her profile and knew that she was definitely not some backpacker who took the wrong path to visit the Norton Hall. He rarely recognized the wrong person, but when the other person appeared here, he felt that he had something of his own. Confirm the feeling of being wrong.

"Professor Jiang Peijiu?" Lin Nian shouted to the backpacker in the peaked hat.

"Lin Nian? You are indeed here. The doorman just lied to me and said you were not here." Jiang Peijiu turned around and saw Lin Nian, smiled, put away the small Sinan in his hand, and raised his hand to say hello.

"Acquaintance?" Chu Zihang asked.

"An acquaintance." Lin Nian nodded and walked over.

"I didn't have time to wash my hair all the way back from the Daxingan Mountains. This was probably the worst time for my personal hygiene this year. But it's not as embarrassing as the year before last when I went into Shennongjia for half a month to fix the feng shui and find the dragon's lair. So overall it's acceptable." Jiang Peijiu slung her backpack in her right hand and hung it casually on her back. Judging from her travel-stricken appearance, she had indeed traveled all the way back with almost no rest. "I heard that there are a lot of free spaces in the Norton Hall. A guest room? Is there a place for me to stay for a day or two?"

"It is true that there are still available guest rooms. Do you want to rest first and then find a place to chat for a while?" Lin Nian asked.

"What are you still talking about? Haven't the two fake partners in front of me who should have been married long ago finished talking to you? I just want to eat something and take a nap. I shouldn't miss the hearing if I take a nap now, right? "Jiang Peijiu turned his head and looked at Chu Zihang who was standing aside and raised his beautiful eyebrows.

"No. After a while, I will ask other people in the Lion Heart Club to notify the cafeteria to prepare a breakfast and deliver it to your door." Chu Zihang nodded.

"That's right. That's why I said I like young people. After all, what young people are like now is what they will be like in the future. It should be like that." Jiang Peijiu smiled, said nothing more, and walked towards direction of the stairs.

As she walked past Lin Nian, she seemed to remember something, looked back at Lin Nian and asked, "Oh, by the way, the room you prepared for those two little guys should be one, right?"

"Is this important?" Lin Nian wasn't sure whether this young professor was too obsessed with pulling the strings.

"It's very important, because they should live in one room. This will also save an extra room for your club." Jiang Peijiu waved his hand and walked up the stairs. "You will use those rooms, and it won't take long."

Lin Nian understood what she meant, and so did Chu Zihang. The latter paused, looked at Jiang Peijiu's back and said slowly, "Is all this an organized and planned act?"

Jiang Peijiu, who was standing halfway up the stairs, looked back at the two young men below and smiled helplessly, "Not everything is carefully planned. Don't just have blood spilled on your body and feel like the whole world will bark at you. The only place where people's hearts belong is to morality and righteousness. Remember this truth. Then, get out of class is over."

She stretched out with one hand, said no more, and went upstairs to the room she deserved, leaving Lin Nian and Chu Zihang standing in the hall, looking at the half-opened door of Norton Hall. The fog has gradually dissipated, shining a ray of golden sunshine on Kassel College.
