I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 690 Tutor
Spring goes and autumn comes, winter comes and goes, time always passes by silently, and people only notice it when it disappears through their fingers.

The leaves in this villa have fallen six times. In the blink of an eye, Li Ming is already six years old.

Although six years have passed, Li Ming's life is very monotonous. Although he has the best food, clothing and daily necessities in the world, it can even be said that if Li Ming asks for the stars in the sky, a pile of meteorite debris will be thrown into Li Ming's room tomorrow. However, there is only one thing he does not have, and that is freedom!
The old man did not allow him to leave the villa, but he did not completely prohibit Li Ming from obtaining news from the outside world. At least he would not interfere with Li Ming watching TV, reading newspapers or listening to the radio, but if Li Ming had the slightest idea of ​​leaving the house, it would be immediately dispelled.

Fortunately, it was Li Ming, otherwise, if an ordinary child grew up in such an environment, even if he didn't go crazy, he would become a psychopath.

But today is a special day. Logically, Li Ming is going to elementary school, but it is obvious that Mr. Wang does not want to see this happen. But he also cannot let Li Ming grow up wildly, so he made a move that seems very reasonable to outsiders.

I found a tutor. It is said that Mr. Wang is very concerned about this matter and has eliminated at least hundreds of special teachers.

And today is the day when that special tutor, chosen from thousands of people, will come to your home.

"Siyuan, come here. This person will be your teacher from now on. Say hello to Teacher Xu." Old Man Wang didn't seem to have changed at all compared to six years ago. Time had left no trace on him. Although he was a grandfather, he still looked like a middle-aged man. If someone said now that Li Ming was his son, perhaps many people would be willing to believe it.

Standing next to Mr. Wang was a very young man. His appearance was so handsome that it was hard for ordinary people to imagine. If appearance really had a score, then there was no doubt that he could score more than 95 points. The remaining 5 points could not be given to him because some people have peculiar aesthetic tastes.

Li Ming wanted to question his talent, but in terms of appearance alone, he could be said to be one in a million, even more beautiful than most women in the world. He had long hair tied behind his head in a ponytail that looked like an artist's. The proportions of his facial features were close to perfect, especially his high nose bridge and charming red lips. But the most attractive thing was his eyes as deep as the starry sky. Most people would fall in love with him at first sight, and might even forget his appearance because of his eyes.

"Hello, little Siyuan. From today on, I will be your teacher."

When he started speaking, the previous score could be raised by another three points, because his magnetic voice conquered countless people invisibly.

Li Ming never liked to judge people by appearance, but it was indeed difficult for him to feel any disgust towards such a man. Besides, it was inconsistent with his personality, so he nodded and said.

"Hello, Teacher Xu."

His voice was calm and steady, unlike a six-year-old child who had no curiosity at all when meeting a stranger, but Mr. Wang seemed to be used to it. After all, for this child, all abnormalities were normal!
Li Ming also knew that his physique was definitely not ordinary, so he also showed a little bit of specialness in the past six years. However, Grandpa Wang seemed to have anticipated this matter and was not afraid at all. However, if you say that he was proud or proud of his grandson's extraordinary performance, that was not the case at all.

But Li Ming could see some complex emotions through his eyes, like regret and expectation.

The servants who took care of Li Ming were replaced one after another, except for the old housekeeper of the villa and an old lady who managed all the maids who had not been replaced in the past six years.

The more curious a servant is about Li Ming, or the closer he is to him, the greater the chance that he will be replaced.

So after such a long time, Li Ming also knows how to keep a distance from these people. Li Ming is very confused. Will this kind of training method really not cultivate some antisocial perverted lunatic?

Of course, he just kept all these doubts in his heart. The character he played, Wang Siyuan, was just a six-year-old child. Although this child seemed to have an IQ far exceeding that of an adult, his mind was not mature. He was just very indifferent, or in other words, he seemed to have no feelings for anyone.

Teacher Xu simply smiled at the little adult-like Li Ming and said, "I will teach you literature, sports, and some interesting things in the future."

Mr. Wang nodded and said to Teacher Xu, "Teacher Xu, thank you for your concern. I have something else to do. From now on, I will be here from Monday to Saturday, from 9 am to 6 pm. Thank you for your hard work."

Teacher Xu smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth. "Don't worry, old man. Leave everything to me. I won't let this child's unique talent go to waste!"

Hearing these words, Mr. Wang's body trembled slightly, but he just sighed softly and said nothing. He still looked at Li Ming deeply with his usual complicated eyes, then left with his cane.

Seeing Mr. Wang leave, Teacher Xu restrained his smile, and a hint of fanaticism emerged in his eyes. This fanaticism made Li Ming feel a chill in his heart. The way he looked at him was not like looking at a student at all, but just like a gourmet seeing a rare delicacy. Although the possessiveness in his eyes was concealed well, it still could not escape Li Ming's eyes. It was just very strange. Li Ming's intuition told him that this man had no ill will towards him.

"We start class today. I heard from your grandfather that you seem to have learned a lot by yourself." Teacher Xu looked at Li Ming for a long time before saying this.

Li Ming said expressionlessly, "If you're talking about elementary school courses, I've already finished them all and am now reading the middle school textbooks."

There is nothing to hide. In fact, the books Li Ming uses are enough to fill up a three-bedroom, one-living room apartment for a family of three. This is because Li Ming throws away the books he has thoroughly read. If the books that Li Ming has learned by himself over the years were put together, this villa might not be able to hold them all.

Of course, perhaps in the eyes of others, this child just likes to make a lot of book lists, but just flip through them and discard them, although everyone in the know knows that this is a genius boy.

However, no matter how talented a boy is, it is impossible for him to understand celestial mechanics, gravitational fluctuations, and certain religious and mystical books at the age of six. He will only think that these are his way of entertainment, or that he is just pretending to be profound.

"Very good!" Teacher Xu nodded with satisfaction, and did not intend to delve into it further. These things would be revealed in the days to come.

Then he added, "You seem to like reading, don't you?"

Li Ming still nodded.

Teacher Xu smiled and said, "In that case, for the first lesson today, let's get to know each other a little bit. Why don't we go to the study and take a look? Perhaps it will help our relationship."

Li Ming was a little surprised, but he didn't argue. Instead, he walked straight to the door, opened it, and walked through the corridor. This was the study room that had been specially reserved for him after the villa was renovated. It had three floors, with stairs going up and down. Along the walls were rows of neatly arranged bookshelves.

After following Li Ming into the study, Teacher Xu looked around and saw a small table and a small chair, which were obviously tailor-made for the current Li Ming. It was too small for others, but just right for Li Ming.

At this moment, there is a half-read old book on the table.

He took two steps forward, grabbed it casually, and after seeing the cover of the old book clearly, he read it subconsciously.

"'Silent City', well, I heard it's going to be adapted into a TV series, but would the content be a bit boring for you?"

Li Ming shook his head and said, "I'm just curious about the cities in the book. Whether it's our country or several other countries, there are records of similar legends."

"The Chinese legend, recorded in the Xichuan chapter of 'Records of Strange Things in Shenzhou', says that there exists a wandering city in this world, opening its doors to all those who are not tolerated by the world. The city's market trades in rare treasures, and everyone can achieve immortality. However, there is only one requirement: never reveal the secrets of this city, or else you will lose your right to enter or leave the city, and be cursed and tortured for eternity."

"Although 'The Silent City' is a fictional story, the Silent City where the protagonist lives bears some similarities to the one described in 'Records of Strange Things in Shenzhou'. Furthermore, Western folk tales also have similarities: a place with rare treasures, but a place that must be kept secret. Once revealed to outsiders, the occupant will be eternally cursed."

Li Ming is very young, but when he spoke these words, he sounded like a little adult, with a serious face and a cold voice, which made people doubt whether there was a young soul living in this body.

However, Teacher Xu didn't seem to be curious about Li Ming's abnormality. He just nodded, put the old book back, and then leaned closer. However, Li Ming didn't show any sign of being scared, which made him seem a little disappointed.

"It seems that you are more interested in mysterious topics, which is good, but you have to eat one bite at a time. If you are really curious about these things, you have to have a certain understanding of the real world before you can find out the truth of the world. In this process, maybe I can help you." He smiled slightly, like a fox turning into a human form, and his plan succeeded at this moment.

Li Ming also smiled rarely and spoke softly.

"Then my dear teacher, happy cooperation!"

"Very good!" Teacher Xu raised his head and glanced at the books on the bookshelf, saying softly.

"Happy cooperation!"

That night, Tianhe City, Canglong Mountain, halfway up the mountain villa area.

In a villa with the best view, the lights in a room on the third floor are still on. Although the furnishings in the house are old, the objects have historical background and the accumulation of years. Just looking at these things is enough to calm people down.

"Well, this is the last mystery class."

Teacher Xu's hair seemed to have grown longer and his eyes brighter, but other than that, there was no other change.

But Li Ming has changed a lot. He already looks like a young man. Although he is only sixteen years old, he has a mature and steady temperament that far exceeds his peers.

His face is three-quarters similar to Grandpa Wang's, which may be the clear evidence of the blood relationship. Compared with Grandpa Wang, there is undoubtedly something else in his genes, which also makes him have some inexplicable things.

If I have to describe it, it would be an inhuman feeling!

He is not like an ordinary person, either as ethereal as a fairy or as cold as ice. In short, he is like an ice man without any emotions.

"Since it's the last class, why not review the previous lessons?" Teacher Xu smiled faintly, just like he did ten years ago.

Li Ming simply nodded, then continued, "Mysticism is a discipline that focuses on studying any phenomenon that cannot be explained by current science. There are many experts and scholars in various countries. They are not the sorcerers and shamans that people often talk about. Of course, there are some truly capable people among them, but most of them are frauds. Currently, the largest occult organization in China is the Tianyi League, followed by the officially organized Chinese Mystical Research Institute III. There are also several other lesser-known organizations such as the Lehua Pavilion and the Chanxin Temple."

"Yes, that's right." Teacher Xu said indifferently.

Li Ming continued his explanation: "Mysterious events have occurred in every era, but previous records were often treated as myths and legends. Some have been passed down, while others have disappeared with the changing times or changed their forms of expression. However, they are divided into different levels based on their harm. Of course, this does not mean that low-level mysteries are easier to solve, it just means that their lethality is not enough. There are also high-level mysteries in the world, but they may only cause less than a hundred casualties each year. There are also mysteries that cause huge casualties as soon as they appear, but they are not actually high-level mysteries."

"Mysterious events manifest in various forms, including vengeful spirits seeking revenge, earthbound spirits, or mass deaths caused by the spread of certain information. There may also be physical entities, but that doesn't mean they disappear once eliminated; they may reappear years later."

Teacher Xu nodded, then said, "I remember it very clearly. Now, let's move on to the main content of my lecture. Solve a low-level mystery."

"What?" Li Ming showed a hint of surprise.

Teacher Xu smiled heartily and said, "I thought you had no expression. Let's get started!!!"
