Above Destiny

Chapter 247 Gift
No matter where in the world, it seems that the ceiling of every ward is the same, without exception.

It’s as if all the suspended ceilings were made by the same company. There is no variety or aesthetics at all. They are all the same, so boring that it makes people feel frustrated.

The smell of disinfectant floated in the air, and the mouth was filled with the sour and bitter taste of the remaining medicine.

There was still an IV needle on my wrist, the instrument in the corner was beeping, my whole body was in so much pain that I couldn't move at all.

More importantly, the afternoon sun shines directly on my face, dazzling and scorching.

It’s too sunny!
Nurse? Where's the nurse? Can you please draw the curtains?
Unfortunately, there is no nurse.

There is no gentle and kind big sister and no meticulous care.

There was only a familiar figure sitting on the chair next to the bed, with a familiar thermos cup and a ghost ball at his side, calmly looking down at the newspaper.

"Teacher?" Ji Jue was stunned.

"Well?"

Ye Xian looked back and nodded in understanding: "Are you awake?"

"Yeah." Ji Jue's voice was hoarse: "Is there any water? I'm so thirsty."

"On the table, pour it yourself. If you can't pour it, press the bell."

There was no warmth at all, and he was as cold as ever, which made Ji Jue feel relieved. If Professor Ye suddenly spoke softly and cared for him attentively, he would feel that he was under some kind of illusion.

However, if I moved my fingers slightly, I would feel a piercing pain.

Not just the body, but the soul as well.

He held a glass of water, trembling, and spilled half of it.

I can't even drink it!

"The matrix is ​​overloaded. This is normal. Just rest for a while and it will be fine."

Ye Xian glanced at his embarrassed appearance, snapped her fingers, and an air straw fell into the cup, so that he didn't have to continue holding the cup to wash his face.

When he finally drank a sip of water after struggling for a long time, he became aware of the rich floral scent in the air.

When I looked around, I finally saw the piles of visiting bouquets and fruit baskets in the temporary ward.

The gilded straps are varied.

Some were written with Tong Shan, some were written with Tong Ting, some were written with Ji Liu, Ji Xue, Xu Guan, some were written with Yacheng Security Bureau and Chaocheng Security Bureau, and some were written with Lou Feng, and the handwriting looked reluctant. Some were written with Lou Yanyue, and the fruit basket was particularly large, almost enough to fit Ji Jue in it. Some were unsigned, and the fruit baskets were the smallest and cheapest. There were also two rotten ones, and they only said to pay back the money soon. They should be from Lao Tang. Okay, you kid want the balance? Wait until you beg for mercy!
There was another one that said 'All Recycling Department colleagues'...

Do you guys still remember me?

Most of the names were ones that Ji Jue had never heard of, or had only met once. There were so many that it was a bit scary.

"Uh, isn't this an exaggeration?"

"This is more than half of what has been cleared. These past few days, all the fruit shops in the outpost have been sold out. The shop owners are kowtowing to you in their dreams."

Ye Xian said: "The Tong family and the Lou family both owe you a huge favor. The security bureaus of Yacheng and Chaocheng have both commended you. Even the commissioners of the association have praised you highly. If you were not still an apprentice, they would have awarded you a gold ribbon.

This is the benefit of being in the spotlight. From now on, when you go out, no one will think you are someone's apprentice, but will remember your name."

"..."

Ji Jue was silent for a long time, then he laughed at himself and looked back at Ye Xian. Ye Xian looked down at the newspaper, still calm and unresponsive. Until he finally mustered up the courage to ask:
"Teacher, don't you have any questions for me?"

Then, the pair of eyes behind the newspaper looked up and glanced over, with raised brows.

It's like looking at a fool.

"It is only students who ask questions to teachers. How can teachers ask questions to students?"

Professor Ye told him coldly: "Students are students, teachers are teachers. Once you sign the contract, just be a slave and don't think too much."

"Ah?" Ji Jue was stunned.

"Also, if I were you, I would be more careful when walking at night next time."

Ye Xian retracted his gaze and said mockingly, "Old Jian Yuan is a very narrow-minded person. No matter how carefree he was when he left, I'm afraid he is still thinking about the fine materials and beautiful jade that escaped from his hands.

Of course, if you really want to learn something profound, I won't force you, I will just fire you tomorrow."

"No, please don't!"

Ji Jue waved his hands in fear, grinning hoarsely in pain: "Teacher, I'm scared, I'm really scared!"

"I hope so."

Ye Xian sneered, remaining indifferent as always.

Silence returned to the ward.

Ji Jue closed his eyes, feeling his declining soul and the dim matrix. His condition was weaker than ever, as if he was dying.

But from its weakening, the glow of the matrix seemed to become stronger and stronger, and its structure became more and more complex, as if it was growing, and it had spread along the hands to the upper arms and was almost climbing up to the shoulders.

And right within the soul, next to the original blessing of natural genius and spiritual primacy, there suddenly appeared a new outline, shrouded in a halo, connected to the matrix as if one.

As a result, all spiritual essences became well organized, all the subtle changes became clear and distinct, the beating of the heart, the rhythm of the pulse, the circulation of blood and the reflex of the nerves seemed to be all under control.

He became his own master...

——Tianyuan’s blessing, the axis of domination!
At some point, the generous gift from Tianyuan had appeared in Ji Jue's soul.

He just showed up without even saying hello.

He didn't even ask me whether I agreed or not, he just went along with it.

Brother Yuanzi is really a bit unruly!

At this moment, the three blessings connected with each other, as if forming a new structure under the guidance of the matrix, making Ji Jue's soul and body seem to have stepped onto a new level, and everything became completely different.

After four and a half months, which was not a long period of inspiration, Ji Jue entered the transformation period at a terrifying speed like riding a rocket.

It's a pity that I don't have the energy to feel the changes of the ex machina and the effects of the new blessing for the time being.

Recalling the turmoil in Quancheng and even the endless mechanical monsters he created with his own hands, Ji Jue couldn't help but sigh, and Jianyuan's words in the past once again emerged in his mind.

In the end, what he was best at was actually creating hell...

What does this mean?
"teacher……"

Ji Jue laughed at himself, "Maybe I might be a bad guy."

"I do not believe."

Ye Xian turned the page of the newspaper in his hand, looked up nonchalantly, and glanced at him, still as if he was looking at a fool: "How could a craftsman make a mistake with his own materials?"

So Ji Jue started laughing.

He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

No more worries.

By the time Ji Jue recovered enough to be able to move and returned to Yacheng, more than a week had passed. During this period, many things happened, and the praise and commendations were enough to make a pig swell up and fly into the sky.

There are more cakes than can be eaten, and if the free nice words are exchanged for money, he will be able to challenge the position of the richest man in Tongjia Ya City without knowing his own limitations.

After a long period of busyness, he finally returned to his life and got down to earth. However, he would always feel worried when he looked down at the silent watch in his hand.

Ever since the last operation of the Sky Track, his beloved cousin had fallen silent and had no response. Even the reserve spiritual essence library had been completely locked, and the president had disappeared once again.

Everything always made Ji Jue doubt... maybe he had gone too far last time and squandered the last bit of money left in the bankrupt company, eventually ruining the company.

Oh no, I didn't become a legal person without knowing what was going on, did I? !
But this matter was too troublesome and too sensitive. Even Professor Ye was too lazy to listen. He was even more unsure. It was even more impossible for him to catch people everywhere and ask: Do you know what happened to Tiangui? Yes, the one that went bankrupt more than 200 years ago...

All I can do is wait in vain.

Every night, I couldn't help shedding tears to my silent cousin: There was once a sincere part-time job in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. If I were given another chance, I... might consider it again.

But what about the president?
Nothing will happen to the president, right?
Until one day, when he woke up from the bed without any warning, he saw a familiar face lying on top of him and grinning foolishly, and his saliva dripped onto his face.

"President?"

Ji Jue stared in surprise, picked it up with both hands, and looked at it carefully: "Are you okay? Hmm, why do I feel like a lot of hair has fallen off? Where have you been for so long?"

The president jumped off the bed, squatted on the ground, whimpering, and looked at him.

After noticing Ji Jue's confused look, he lowered his head, opened his mouth, pulled out a big bag from the void, and when he opened his mouth, a bunch of sound buttons fell out.

"Boss, I'm leaving."

It raised its paw and hurriedly pressed the buttons among the mess: "Before, violation, mistake, president, bad. Sky track, out of control, not good, president, work, hard!"

"..."

Ji Jue's smile froze on his face, and he looked dazed.

I felt like I understood some of it, but I didn't understand most of it. But when I heard that the dog I had already raised was suddenly going to run away from home, I couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

"Left? Why!"

He couldn't laugh anymore, and glared angrily: "I fought for the company and risked my life, how could you optimize me? Are you a human? No, even if you are not... you..."

"Gift, for, good, employees."

"Employees, happy, no, sad."

The president came over, opened his mouth, put the box in his arms, grinned again, and raised his ears: "President, I like you!"

"..."

Ji Jue was in a daze, holding the box subconsciously, and watched the president lower his head, pull his pockets, put away the buttons, and turn around to leave.

Obviously, he had been looking forward to the day when he and Tiangui would live their own dreams and have a wonderful life. Even though he was terrified that Tiangui would suddenly give him work and that there were huge troubles hidden behind Tiangui, at this moment, seeing the lonely president leaving with his tail hanging down, he could not help but call out to Tiangui.

"Hey, President!"

The president turned around and looked at him.

"Well, just focus on work. I know you have a lot of troubles, and there are things like the Sky Track... I mean, I... I'm actually quite free."

Ji Jue hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "Will you come to see me again?"

He lowered his head, dug out a box that he had prepared long ago from under the bed, and showed the ungiven gifts inside: "I also bought you a new bell. It's not good to waste it, right?"

"..."

In the silence, the president stared at him blankly.

Gradually, his eyes widened.

It can't speak, but its eyes are lit with countless flashes of light that are brighter than any words, like stars in the sky, so dazzling.

Suddenly, he jumped up.

Jumped into his arms.

It licked his face eagerly with its tongue, arched back and forth, and its tail knocked all the ornaments and paper and pen on the table to the ground, making a mess.

I just love you so much! .
The president left after all.

With his head held high and a brand new bell around his neck and his tail wagging, he disappeared.

He didn't say when he would come again.

Just like any leader who disappears after making a promise.

Ji Jue was left watching the president's crazy rush and completely messed up the house. He sighed helplessly, his face covered with saliva, and lowered his head to look at the small box in his hand.

The bow was tied crookedly, one side was bigger than the other.

gift.

"What?"

After Ji Jue opened it, he leaned closer and looked at the strange-looking key inside. He couldn't help scratching his head: "What is this... a car key? What do I need a car for?!"

If Xiao Niu Ma knew about this, wouldn't he go on a hunger strike for a month or two out of spite for himself?

I left it to wander around for so long that it has become very difficult to coax it!

Say goodbye?
He smiled bitterly and tossed the key twice, but the key in his hand suddenly turned into a stream of light and fell into the silent watch.

In an instant, a crisp sound was heard.

On the dial of the watch, complex patterns and emblems appeared out of thin air, and the panel that had disappeared for a long time unfolded again, but this time, all the pop-up windows reporting errors disappeared.

At the front of the panel, there is a new button, which is empty and has no markings.

Purely out of subconsciousness, curiosity or wanting to do something.

Ji Jue pressed it.

Then, literally, everything went black before my eyes...

It was as if an invisible door opened before his eyes. His consciousness, guided by the spiritual circuit in the watch, rushed upwards. In an instant, he had crossed an unknown distance.

Breaking through the blockade and cover of the real world, arriving at an unexpected void.

Beyond the brilliant flash of the present world, in the endless darkness like the universe, countless large and small rifts revolve around the present world. Flashing silver lights are like a net, covering everything and only appearing for a moment.

And just as Ji Jue was perceiving, a familiar outline emerged from a tiny corner of the vast darkness.

From the eternal silence, the mighty whale song sounded again!

"I'm taking..."

In a flash of change, everything before my eyes became different again.

Ji Jue turned back blankly, looking at the driver's seat in front of him, the broken dashboard, the familiar displays, the huge interior space and displays, and the engine that was running loudly as if giving a warm welcome.

This is clearly the same doomsday train from before!
Why did he suddenly give this thing to me so casually? !
In the waves of blackness before his eyes, Ji Jue's legs went limp and he sat down on the torn mat, unable to get up.

broken!

Now even if I say I'm not a legal person, no one will believe me...
