The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1059 Who is the real culprit? (Part 2)

Inside Chenghuai Hall of Hanshan Academy.

The lecturer above was explaining the new imperial examination system—which was indeed completely consistent with the memorial submitted by the Mei siblings in Liu Sheng's memory.

The girl beside him seemed to notice Liu Sheng's absent-mindedness and whispered words of comfort:
"Don't dwell on what happened earlier. Do you really want to get a demerit?"

What she was referring to was exactly what Liu Sheng had just decided to do – since they were looking for the “real culprit,” they naturally needed to gather as much information as possible.

Fortunately, there were many curious people, and Liu Sheng blended in into the crowd without being conspicuous. She also deliberately slowed down her pace and did not rush ahead.

But before they had taken more than a few steps, the head of the academy appeared in person.

This is not the one Liu Sheng knew from her school days; I have never met this one before.

He looked to be around fifty years old, with a stern and aloof demeanor. His eagle eyes, though not angry, exuded an imposing aura as they swept over the group of students.

Fortunately, Liu Sheng was pulled by the girl who had silently followed behind her and dragged into the shadows behind the pine tree.

The abbot's gaze barely passed over it, seemingly unaware.

He then spoke sternly and sternly:
"What kind of place is the academy? It is a place to cultivate virtue and establish oneself! Your classmate has died, yet you do not feel sorrow, but instead swarm to him, trying to satisfy your curiosity with the suffering of others, and use it as fodder for gossip! Is this the kind of virtue a scholar should have!"

Silence fell instantly; all the students lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

"Moreover, with the imperial examinations just around the corner, you should all be more focused and restrained, rather than gathering to watch, point fingers, and have fun!"

"If there is a next time! Record all the demerits! Headmaster He, write down the names of everyone present!"

The head monk beside him immediately bowed and accepted the order.

The students could only shrink back and step forward one by one to give their names.

Meanwhile, Liu Sheng had already taken the opportunity to sneak away with the girl.

But perhaps she felt guilty, because she kept feeling like she was being followed by a faint gaze, which only gradually disappeared after she had walked a long way.

"Thank you so much, Ji Zhao," Liu Sheng said softly.

"When have you ever been so polite to me..."

The girl muttered to herself.

But a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. He shook his head and returned to the lecturer's content, dipped his brush in ink, and focused on taking notes, his handwriting light and flowing.

Liu Sheng quietly withdrew his scrutinizing gaze.

The girl's given name is "Ji Zhao" and her surname is "Yun".

Judging from the name, she should be the younger sister of Yun Jidao, a classmate of Liusheng Academy.

This was something I casually inquired about on my way to the lecture hall.

No wonder it looked familiar.

Even his personality is generally warm and cheerful.

As for Liu Sheng's own name... she had absolutely no clue.

Even if Yun Jizhao seemed innocent and naive, it would be strange if he rashly asked about it.

She searched through all her belongings but couldn't find any personal information at all.

The storage bag contained only the uniforms issued by the academy, brand new and spotless, much like the academic underachievers Liu Sheng knew from his school days.

But it's highly unlikely that even the spiritual messages are brand new and still in factory settings.

She even saw her own reflection in the pool—

Nothing special, you'll forget it as soon as you see it.

It's like... a deliberately created blank person.

Of course, it's also possible that the original owner of this body was simply low-key, unassuming, had few hobbies, and was particularly concerned about privacy.

However, Liu Sheng felt that her identity in this high-dimensional analysis was probably not that important.

Perhaps it was only because of her relationship with Yun Jidao that she appeared by Yun Jizhao's side and acted there under that identity.

At this point, the lecturer was coming to an end:
"His Majesty attaches great importance to this new imperial examination system. You all must be extremely careful. If you are really unsure how to choose a subject, you can go to the Bright Forum to see what the seniors have written about the subject content and direction for reference."

[Your Majesty? Why hasn't the four-nation alliance succeeded yet?]

Liu Sheng muttered to himself silently.

It feels really lonely not being able to participate in the discussion myself...

"The subject you choose will determine your study direction in the last six months of your time at the academy, and will also affect your admission to an academy and your path of training after the imperial examinations. Of course, if you find that you are still not interested in a subject after studying it, you can apply to change subjects, but it is best to decide as early as possible to avoid wasting time."

"So I actually suggest that when you first start learning, you might as well explore more subjects. It's always better to choose more than less."

The students present nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this and lowered their heads to take notes.

Liu Sheng glanced at Yun Jizhao beside her and saw him nodding, taking notes very seriously, stroke by stroke.

Sensing Liu Sheng's gaze, Yun Jizhao glanced at the empty notebook in front of her and whispered knowingly:

"I'll lend it to you to copy later."

Liu Sheng, who was taken for granted as a "bad student":

"……Thanks."

The lecturer continued, "Also, you can discuss this with 'the world'..."

For a moment, Liu Sheng almost thought he was hallucinating because he missed the "world" so much.

But as soon as the lecturer finished speaking, many students in the audience immediately took out their spiritual communication devices and skillfully opened a certain interface. Yun Jizhao next to him did the same. Seeing that Liu Sheng was still in a daze, he waved his hand in front of her:
"what happened to you?"

Liu Sheng recalled what Yun Jizhao hadn't finished saying not long ago:
"You said back then that besides listening to the lecturers, you could also ask 'the world' about choosing subjects?"

"Of course," Yun Jizhao said matter-of-factly. "Who else could it be?" Then his eyes widened. "You haven't added 'World' as a friend yet, have you?"

"I……"

"You don't know how to add it, do you?!"

Whether it was because Liu Sheng's "academic underachiever" image was deeply ingrained in Yun Jizhao's mind, she didn't ask any more questions and took the initiative to bring her spiritual message to Liu Sheng's face.

The word "World" is pinned to the top of my friends list.

She demonstrated the operation:
"Look—add a friend, search for 'world,' add successfully, then click in and chat like a normal chat. You can ask anything—of course, I can't show you the chat content."

Her cheeks flushed slightly as she quickly put away the spiritual message and avoided Liu Sheng's gaze.

Liu Sheng didn't care.

But an indescribable tremor rose in my heart.

My fingers trembled slightly as I opened my spiritual channel—

The contact list is empty.

So she clicked on "Add Friends" and entered the name that echoed in her heart every day in the search box:

【world】

Then a simple black-and-white line drawing of a smiling face popped up.

Add now?

【Sure】

The list was no longer blank; a simple line drawing of an avatar had appeared.

No wonder.

So the message is, "Find the real culprit and tell me."

So this is where the "world" is.

It's just in a different form.

It's like finally finding the part of yourself that you've been missing.

My anxious heart finally settled down.

Liu Sheng looked up and saw that almost all the students in the lecture hall were communicating with the "world".

She also lowered her head and opened her chat window.

It was still empty.

It didn't seem like what I had just glanced at Yun Jizhao's—a long string of text, it seemed like they had talked about quite a lot of things.

I never imagined that the "world" would become so deeply involved in everyone's lives in the future.

Although it has already taken shape.

After all, "Skynet" has already entered ordinary people's homes.

The "World" also participated in the "Fairy Boat" project, becoming the main control system and participating in multiple missions on the home planet.

It's just that it hasn't been integrated into daily life so simply and directly yet, making it available to everyone.

The main bottleneck has always been computing power.

Is it possible that she can solve the computing power problem so quickly?

So fast—

In fact, Liu Sheng had just realized the timing issue.

The specific time was never mentioned from beginning to end, nor did she ask Yun Jizhao—to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

According to tradition, the imperial examinations were held in July.

The lecturer just mentioned that the exams are held six months after course selection, which means it should be around the end of January now.

So it's not that far from her "present," so how could it have developed so rapidly?
And Advent Day is fast approaching.

At a time like this, would anyone still have the mind to think about the imperial examination?

Liu Sheng didn't know whether to admire everyone's composure or to be suspicious—

Perhaps by then everyone will realize that Advent will never come.

If this is true, we should be thankful.

But is it really possible?

As my thoughts raced, the lecturer continued to explain how to communicate with the "world" when choosing subjects.

"For example, you can discuss the areas you are interested in, and you can also have 'the world' give you some small tests to test your interests."

"In addition, everyone can refer to the results of 'Observing the Mind Through the Four Symbols' to make future choices. For example, if I am a 'Disciplined One,' rational, prudent, and focused on rules, then I am more suited to law and politics. If I were to study the arts, I would be more inclined towards execution than creation..."

At this moment, Liu Sheng finally typed out his first words to the future "world":

【Hello World?】
