i people must also bravely raise the villain cubs!

"why?"

Shen Xian raised his eyebrows slightly.

Jiang Zhi thought about it seriously: "I feel like Teacher Shen is more like the kind of person who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, nor does he believe in praying..."

The more she talked, the weirder she felt.

The smile on Shen Xian's face gradually deepened.

Jiang Zhi: "..."

How could she forget that Teacher Shen Xian is a ghost himself?

He doesn't need to worship this kind of thing at all, because this is who he is.

"Then it's Yan'er's turn to write."

Jiang Zhi changed the subject and handed the Kongming lantern and pen to Lu Xuyan.

The little guy was confused with the Kongming Lantern.

It took a long time to write the words "Have a safe journey" on the Kongming Lantern.

Seeing these four words, Jiang Zhi's heart trembled slightly.

She instantly understood who he wanted to say these four words to.

It is precisely because I understand that I feel sad.

At this age when he should have been crying and playing to his heart's content, he was the only one left.

Jiang Zhi lowered his head and remained silent.

After a quarter of an hour of silence in the sky, brilliant fireworks bloomed again and the Kongming Lanterns were lit.

Countless sky lanterns rise into the sky, carrying countless people's wishes and turning into stars in the dark night.

Spectacular, pious, gorgeous.

So much so that they kept staring at it for a long time, even though they could no longer tell which one was their Kongming Lantern.

It wasn't until his neck stiffened that Jiang Zhi slowly looked back.

"It's time to send you back."

Lu Xuyan's eyes were pulled back and he nodded obediently: "Yes."

Shen Xian raised his hand to open the passage.

The two of them led Lu Xuyan through the long passage back to where he lived.

"go to bed early."

Just as he was about to leave, his sleeve was suddenly grabbed by him.

Lu Xuyan stretched out his little hand and gave each of them a hug.

"Sister Immortal, Brother Immortal, thank you for today. Yan'er is very happy."

He was so happy for the first time since his mother left.

Jiang Zhi took a deep breath and his voice was a little hoarse: "Well, be good, Yan'er, have a good rest. The teachers will come see you tomorrow."

"it is good."

Lu Xuyan obediently let go of his hand and watched them leave.

The two of them did not leave the imperial city immediately. Instead, they floated in the air, found the highest building, and sat down on the roof.

You can still see the Kongming Lantern rising in the distance.

There was silence all around, and there was a strong wind on the roof. The cold wind blew across her face and rolled up her hair on her shoulders.

"Anything on your mind?"

Shen Xian accompanied her and sat down next to her.

Jiang Zhi held his chin in his hands, admiring the bustling palace in front of him.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "Teacher Shen, when you talk about the A-level, do you mean its level of danger or the difficulty of the task?"

"Is there a difference?"

yes……

No difference.

"Is this the real world?" Jiang Zhi asked again.

Shen Xian did not answer her immediately, but Sichen spoke after a moment: "It depends on how you understand it. If you think this is a real world, then this is the real world."

Suffering only seeks out the miserable.

This sentence is absolutely correct.

"Then what will happen to those cubs who were sent back to their original world?"

This is something Jiang Zhi has always been curious about.

It seems that the kindergarten does not mention the ability to suppress the pups, which means that if they are willing, they still have the ability to destroy the world.

So what is the significance of this kindergarten?

"Sent back to the original world, some children will live an ordinary life, and some will develop according to the established route. Even so, when they are on the verge of going berserk, their remaining conscience can suddenly save them from the verge of going berserk. He pulled it back.”

"Then what if you still go berserk?"

"Then it will be up to us teachers to stop it. If this happens to the same child more than three times, what awaits him is to be wiped out."

Jiang Zhi's pupils suddenly widened, his voice suddenly rose, and he squeezed out these two words in an almost broken voice: "Erase?!"

Shen Xian nodded lightly.

Jiang Zhi felt a little dazed.

When he came back to his senses, he was still unsure, so he asked cautiously: "What does erasure mean..."

The little hope hidden in her heart was completely wiped out by Shen Xian's next words.

"It's the erasure you understand. He disappears completely from this world. No one will remember him. All traces of him in this world will be erased, as if he had never been in this world."

No one remembers.

It's like it never happened.

Jiang Zhi's eyes trembled slightly.

She couldn't remember where she had seen such a sentence——

Death is not the end, oblivion is.

This is undoubtedly the cruelest way for them to leave.

"Then...have any Zaizai been killed?" Jiang Zhi asked again.

This time Shen Xian didn't answer her question.

But the answer is obvious.

"That means... there is?"

Shen Xian was silent for a moment, turned away, and responded in a low voice: "Yes."

To be honest, he didn't feel that much about kindergarten children being wiped out.

As far as he is concerned, death and life are the same.

Death to end suffering is inevitably no easier than living to accept suffering.

He had no family or friends who could remember him, and he was always alone.

Even if the traces were not wiped away, no one would probably notice that he disappeared.

So he won't be touched at all by someone else being wiped out.

Jiang Zhi lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Suddenly, a noise came from behind them.

"Over there! Hurry up!"

They both looked back at the same time.

A black shadow was moving across the rooftops towards them at lightning speed.

Jiang Zhi: "...?"

what's the situation?
  The dark shadow approached them, and with the sparse and rapid footsteps below, the sad atmosphere was instantly broken.

The black shadow quickly passed by them, and with a casual hook, it hooked Jiang Zhi's neck and snatched her away from Shen Xian.

Jiang Zhi's body was already moving before he could even react.

Shen Xian came to his senses and stood up and looked at the direction the two people were leaving. With an undercurrent surging in his eyes, he flew towards that place and followed them.

-

Jiang Zhi was taken to the deserted cold palace by the black shadow, and then he was released by the black shadow.

Before he could take a breath, she pressed him against the wall again. His neck felt cold and sharp, and he felt something cold and sharp pressed against his neck.

She was so frightened that she didn't dare to move.

"Where did you take Yan'er?"

The figure covered most of his face with a mask, revealing only a pair of gleaming eyes.

Jiang Zhi didn't react for a while. Seeing that she remained silent, the dagger got a little closer to her skin.

"Speak or not?"

The cold touch forced her to come back to her senses.

"We just... took her outside to celebrate the Lantern Festival."

"Gone?"

There was suspicion in his eyes.

Clearly didn't believe what she said.

"Yes, it's absolutely true." Jiang Zhi didn't dare to move.

Afraid that the other party would become agitated, he would wipe her neck with a dagger.

The woman stared into her eyes.

After a while, he let her go.

"Who are you? What is the purpose of contacting Yan'er? And how did you quietly take Yan'er away under my nose?"

Jiang Zhi hesitated.

Looking at her reaction, she seemed very worried about Lu Xuyan, who reacted so violently less than two hours after they took him away.

Could she be the person they are looking for?
  "Are you Yan'er's aunt?"

Before she could finish her words, the dagger was pressed against her neck again.

The woman's brows furrowed slightly, her eyes full of inquiry and suspicion, and a cold voice came from under the mask: "Who are you?"

"Don't, don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person, I'm here to help Yan'er." Jiang Zhi quickly spoke to comfort her.

The woman stared at her closely and said nothing.

After a long while, he slowly put down the dagger, took a step back, and opened the distance between the two.

"Help Yan'er?"

"Ah."

Jiang Zhi's eyes were sincere and his hands were trembling slightly. It was because he was frightened by the knife she put on his neck just now.

She could only try to calm down and look at her.

"Answer my question first."

The woman sat down on the stone bench under the dead tree and slowly put the dagger back into its sheath.

Jiang Zhi still stood where he was and answered her question honestly: "I don't know if you believe it or not. I'm not from this world."

As expected, the woman looked slightly startled: "Not from this world? What do you mean?"

"Literally, we came from another world, and the purpose is to bring Yan'er back to the kindergarten."

"kindergarten?"

The woman frowned, obviously not understanding what a kindergarten was.

"Well, it's just a place where children of the same age can play, eat, sleep and study together."

Jiang Zhi paused for a moment, took out his cell phone from his pocket, opened the photo album and handed it to the woman.

The woman had never seen what she was holding before, so she took it over and took a look at it curiously. It was filled with photos she had taken of kindergarten.

Whether it was this thing that glowed like a brick or the clothes and buildings in the photos that she had never seen before, they all proved that the weak-looking girl in front of her was really not from this world.

If this is the case, what she said has some credibility.

The woman was silent for a moment and said, "Why Yan'er?"

Jiang Zhi didn't know how to explain it to her.

I had no choice but to tell the truth: "Because... he will destroy the world in the future."

"Destroy the world?!" The woman couldn't believe it, "Impossible! How could Yan'er possibly..."

Don't say she doesn't believe it.

Jiang Zhi himself didn't believe it. How could such an obedient, sensible and heart-warming Zaizai destroy the world?

But I have to believe what Teacher Shen Xian said.

The two of them fell into silence.

Shen Xian stood at the door of Leng Palace and leaned against the wall, listening to their conversation quietly.

"We brought Yan'er back to the kindergarten, on the one hand to stabilize Yan'er's mood, and on the other hand to prevent him from suffering so much anymore."

Jiang Zhi put away his cell phone, looked seriously, and said solemnly: "And it only takes three years. After three years, we will send Yan'er back properly. By then, you will be able to live more peacefully, right?
  Rather than hiding around in the future, it would be better for Yan'er to go back to kindergarten with us. This is the best choice for him. "

The woman was silent.

It's exactly what she said.

If she takes Yan'er away, someone will soon discover her, and they will have no choice but to live in hiding, with the constant danger of being discovered.

But this is what her sister asked her to do before she died, to take Yan'er out of this palace that eats people without spitting out their bones.

I don't want him to be able to sit in the highest position and dominate the world. I just want him to travel around the world and be a happy knight-errant.

That was her favorite sister since she was a child.

But she mistakenly believed the man's words and entered this deep palace. She became seriously ill and even lost her life in the end.

Yan'er is the last life left by her sister in this world.

He also asked many people to send a secret letter to her at the border, asking her to take Yan'er away. Yan'er is still so young, how can she live alone in this palace?

So no matter what the price, she had to take Yan'er away.

But the person in front of her told her that Yan'er could have a better place to belong.

To tell the truth, she was moved.

Moreover, three years is enough time for the royal family to believe that Yan'er is dead. When Yan'er comes back in three years, he can truly be an ordinary wanderer.

It can be regarded as granting my sister's wish.

The woman was silent for a moment and then spoke again: "How do you want me to believe you?"

Jiang Zhi was stunned for a moment.

Shen Xian walked in from behind the door: "Every year during the holidays, if you want to see him, he can come back to see you, and you can also go to the kindergarten to see him, but you can't stay there for too long."

The woman was stunned for a moment: "Can I... go too?"

"Ah."

The woman was still lowering her head and thinking, but suddenly there was a burst of rapid and messy footsteps outside the wall.

"They just came in this direction. They must be hiding in the cold palace. Search them for me!"

Jiang Zhi was shocked: "The officers and soldiers are chasing us."

The woman didn't have time to think about the credibility of their words, and immediately drew her sword and looked at the gate of Leng Palace warily.

But after a while, several shrill screams suddenly sounded outside, accompanied by gusts of cold wind.

"Ghost! Ghost!"

"Yes, it's Concubine Liu's ghost!"

"The ghost of Concubine Liu is here again!"

"..."

For a time, various sounds were intricate and intertwined.

It lasted for almost a quarter of an hour before it became completely quiet.

"What, what's going on?"

Jiang Zhi felt a little frightened.

There is an inexplicable feeling of familiarity.

"Sister's ghost?"

The woman froze for a moment.

She seemed to have heard those people shouting like that, right?

How can this be?

This was obviously a rumor planned by her and Yu'er, using her face that was [-]% similar to her sister's.

She subconsciously walked slowly towards the door.

Looking out from the crack in the door, a shining figure wearing a white skirt with disheveled hair and a slightly transparent figure was facing away from her in the middle of the road.

The woman's eyes widened, her eyes were red, her voice was trembling, and she called out tentatively: "Sister?"

The "ghost" slowly turned around, and a face that was [-]% similar to hers, a little haggard, but still unable to hide the alluring face appeared in front of her.

The moment she saw this face, her tears fell instantly.

She subconsciously covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying.

He could only make a low whimper. (End of chapter)
