Unlimited priesthood

Chapter 40 Dream Again
"Boom!"

There was continuous gunfire outside the house, but there was silence inside.

Shen He sat on the sofa, his body sometimes tense and sometimes relaxed. A large number of images replayed in his mind. The most impressive one was the pupil that emerged from the space vortex.

In fact, Shen He had not seen that pupil before. He shifted his gaze the moment it came into contact with the space vortex. But even so, there was still a demonic power in his mind that wanted to simulate that vertical pupil and take root deeply in his memory and spirit.

This is the power of the evil god, the power of the cosmic evil god. Both his name and image possess incredible powers that can pollute the spirit and body of a living being, alienating it into a "non-self" existence.

Fortunately, the human empire has become a doctor through long-term experience and has already developed a way to deal with it. Shen He closed his eyes and silently practiced Xingyiquan. Suddenly, he roared like a dragon and a tiger, and combined with the righteous power of the [Crazy Knight], he shattered the evil power in his memory bit by bit.

This went on for who knows how long.

"The space channel is closed!"

"The terrorist attack is over!"

"All clear, all clear."

"Please stay in safe areas and do not move around randomly to avoid causing chaos."

"Rescue efforts are underway. Please remain calm and report any mentally disturbed individuals promptly."

The broadcast sounded, echoing in every corner of the campus. Shen He also opened his eyes, stood up and looked outside. He saw the formation slowly closing, and various aircraft roaring in the sky, carrying out rescue and finishing work.

"it's over?"

Seeing this scene, Zhong Qin and Shen Qingyue felt relieved, especially Shen Qingyue, whose hands, which had been clenched tightly, finally relaxed.

The evil god cult and terrorist attacks are the nightmares of countless people on Yunlan Star. Shen Qingyue is no exception. Her parents died in the attack of the evil god cult.

Now it happens again, it's like a nightmare all over again.

Only Shen He was very adaptable: "It's not safe yet, let's stay here tonight and eat something first."

After saying that, he came to the dining table and opened the lunch box that Shen Qingyue brought.

"Can you still eat?"

Zhong Qin looked at him and couldn't help but express admiration. Then she remembered something and hurriedly opened her personal terminal to report her safety to her relatives and friends.

However, after a moment, she looked stunned and turned to Shen He and said, "The president and Zhang Yun... were killed!"

"is it?"

Shen He didn't even raise his head, just responded with one sentence, his attention still on the food in front of him.

Zhong Qin was a little distraught: "A lot of people died in the club. I heard that even Teacher Teng was injured."

"Oh?"

Shen He then raised his head: "How is your injury?"

"I don't know."

Zhong Qin shook her head and sat down on the sofa beside her. She had the feeling of wanting to wake up from a dream but found that this was reality, so real that it seemed fake and hard to accept.

Dead, just like that?

Li Jinqi, Zhang Yun, the president of their Xingyi Society, and those senior brothers and sisters, just died like that?

So careless, so easy.

Aren’t they going to make things difficult for Shen He and create all kinds of fights within the society?

why why……

It turns out that human life is so insignificant and so humble. Even Li Jinqi, the president of the Xingyi Society, a prominent figure in Tianbei No. 2 Middle School, a martial arts genius who had cultivated Gangyuan in his fifth year of high school, could die at any time.

Zhong Qin sat on the sofa in a daze, feeling that her outlook on life and the world had suffered a huge impact.

Shen He remained calm, his attention focused solely on the food in front of him. Reality isn't a movie; there's never a protagonist. No one can guarantee which will come first, an accident or tomorrow. Rising stars, the chosen ones, can die in an instant.

It was him, a time traveler with a cheat, who was also very passive just now and could only leave everything to fate.

This is the sorrow of the weak, and it is also the reason why he pursues power. He wants to control his own destiny and never leave his life and death to others again.

and so……

A few days later, in the Xingyi Society, the president's office.

Teng Manyun sat behind his desk, looking at the documents in his hands, then looked up at Shen He and Zhong Qin: "This terrorist attack has caused heavy losses to our Tianbei No. 2 Middle School. It is the most painful blow we have suffered since the founding of the school."

"Due to the large number of casualties, damage to various buildings and facilities, and the contamination left by the evil spirit, teaching has become impossible. Therefore, the school has decided to suspend classes for a year, and club activities have also been temporarily suspended."

"Although classes will be suspended, you don't have to worry about your studies. The principal has already petitioned higher-ups to extend the graduation period and exam dates for Tianbei No. 2 Middle School. Although it's a one-year delay, the impact won't be significant. Instead, you'll have more time to prepare for the exams. Furthermore, the school will provide compensation. Of course, if you insist on continuing your studies, you can transfer to another high school."

"So what are your plans next, you two?"

Teng Manyun looked at Zhong Qin, and Zhong Qin looked at Shen He.

Shen He said calmly, "I'm also going to rest for a while."

"Ok!"

Teng Manyun nodded: "What about you, Zhong Qin?"

Zhong Qin looked at Shen He, then turned back and said, "I also plan to take a break for a while."

"That's all, then. While recuperation is important, I suggest you stay on campus. The Evil God Cult generally doesn't launch consecutive attacks on the same location. Furthermore, the school has strengthened its defenses, so this will likely be the safest place in Tianbei City for a short period of time. I'll also organize some private events from time to time to make up for the losses from the school closures."

"..."

Leaving the office and walking into the empty martial arts hall, Shen He remained silent. Zhong Qin was also silent for a while. After looking around for a while, she whispered to him, "Have you heard about that rumor?"

Shen He's expression remained unchanged: "What rumor?"

"That's the rumor."

Zhong Qin whispered, "It's said that this time, two evil sects joined forces to attack Tianbei No. 2 Middle School. The reason they joined forces is that among the new students this year, there is a special professional with great potential who can be directly recommended to a top university. The two evil sects came for him."

Shen He glanced at her: "So?"

Zhong Qin lowered her voice again. "Originally, such recommended students would have received protection from major universities and even the military. However, because our principal wanted to send him to the Tianyuan Sword Palace, he concealed the information about this recommended student. As a result, the news leaked, which ultimately led to this tragedy."

Shen He's expression remained unchanged: "What does that have to do with us?"

"This……"

Zhong Qin was stunned and fell silent.

Shen He shook his head: "Don't think too much about things that cannot be changed. Improving yourself is the right way."

After saying that, he patted her shoulder again and walked out of the museum.

……

After leaving the gym and returning to the dormitory, Shen He went straight to the bedroom.

Just as he said just now, it doesn't matter what the reason for the evil cult's attack is, because with his current strength, even if he knew the reason and was dissatisfied with it, he would not be able to intervene.

Strength, strength, this is the root of everything.

How can he gain power now?
The real world is difficult to operate in. The school is going to be closed for another year. Unless he takes the risk of leaving the campus, it will be difficult for him to improve himself.

But this experience made him realize how insignificant he was. Leaving the campus at this time was extremely irrational.

So, he decided to dream of being a butterfly again, go to another world, and pursue a new career and power.
