Trickster Hunter

Chapter 92 "Am I the principal?"

"Then do you think humans still have a chance to regain those lost lands?"

"When I was young... no, it should be said that everyone who entered Tianshu Tower had the idea of ​​regaining lost ground when they were young." Professor Li said, "But we are old, and just maintaining the status quo is enough. We tried our best... The closer we get to the truth, the more secretive we can see, and the heavier the sense of despair weighs on us."

Professor Li took a breath and continued: "I know that in my capacity, I shouldn't say such things to you, but I have always believed that true courage is to still have hope after seeing the truth of despair."

"Professor, your eloquence is really good. It would be a pity not to give a speech." Sun Hang said.

"Hahahaha... I was discovered by you." Professor Li suddenly laughed, "I said this sentence exactly the same way when I was giving a speech to the students of Chunming University. Those guys in the audience behaved very badly. Much more excited than you are now.”

"Students at Chunming University... they probably haven't really come into contact with weird objects, right?" Sun Hang asked, flattening his mouth.

"I have never been in contact with them. To put it nicely, they are the proud sons of heaven. To put it poorly, they are just flowers in the greenhouse." Professor Li sighed, "There have been no traces of strange things in the core area of ​​the Federation for a long time. It’s been so long that people have almost forgotten what kind of world they live in.”

"There are many new movies and animations about monsters every year, but they are basically commercial popcorn works." Yang Qi couldn't help but said, "People who live in those safe areas think that monsters are just screens. Although the monsters that appear on the screen are very destructive, they will eventually be defeated by the protagonist.”

"But there are no movie protagonists in the real world." Professor Li continued, "Only people like you who stick to the border areas understand that the comfortable life in the core areas of the Federation is entirely earned by the sacrifice of hunters and soldiers. of."

"So...what do you want to say?" Yang Qi asked tentatively.

"Eternal night is coming, and this is a very rare opportunity for change. I plan to bring together more than a thousand colleges and universities in the core area of ​​21 cities in the study of strange objects, and build a school dedicated to cultivating talents in this field. The academy... This academy will be located in Shuzhou, which is shrouded in eternal night.”

"Isn't it too risky to do this?" Yang Qi said in shock, "What if Shuzhou falls..."

"You also said it was 'in case'." Professor Li smiled and said, "With you here, the students won't be able to finish the class for one semester, right?"

"This...this is too crazy..." Yang Qi murmured.

"You can't grow flowers that can withstand storms in a greenhouse," Professor Li said. "Only by letting them face the most desperate things can we get truly useful talents."

"Reasonable." Sun Hang nodded, "But the application rate for this college shouldn't be too high, right? After all, parents don't want to send their children to study in a place shrouded in eternal night."

"If we promise that graduates who have completed their studies can be directly admitted to Tianshu Tower, I believe that the source of students will not be a problem." Professor Li smiled, "As for the first principal of this college, I have decided that you will be the one."

"Eh?" Sun Hang pointed at himself, "I'm the principal? Is that true?"

"Do you think I'm joking?" Professor Li said slightly seriously.

"But Sun Hang is an infected person. Would it be possible to let an infected person become the principal..."

"Why can't an infected person be the principal? Besides, this school was originally founded to study monsters and infected people. It is reasonable for an infected person to be the principal." Professor Li said, "I started The best candidate is your teacher, who is the director of the Tianfu City Monster Research Institute, but that old guy is just like us, the burden on his shoulders is too heavy, and it is difficult to allocate energy to manage such a school. "

"Why me?" Sun Hang asked again.

"Because you have the courage I just mentioned."

"Courage?" Sun Hang couldn't help but be confused, "But you just said that those college students were much more excited than me after listening to the speech. If you want to find a brave person, you should look for them among them. "

"True courage is not a sudden burst of emotion, but an unswerving character." Professor Li said, "Although you did not show any excitement or emotion, you also You have never shown any fear...that is to say, you are not afraid of those strange things, nor are you afraid of the desperate situation I described."

"Isn't this a bit too arbitrary?" Sun Hang asked, tilting his head.

"I have read your test report. You are not a patient with facial paralysis, nor do you have any psychological or mental illness." Professor Li said, "In the ancient book "Yan Danzi", Tian Guang once said to Yan Taizi Dan: 'Xue Yong' The face of a brave person is red when angry; the face of a brave person is green when angry; the face of a brave person is pale when angry; the complexion of a brave person is unchanged when angry."

"Professor, you are over-praised." Sun Hang's mouth twitched, "I just showed off. This is the first time I have received such a high evaluation. I deserve it. I deserve it."

"If you were just playing badly, you wouldn't have gone to Longquanyi Air Force Base, nor would you have jumped off the helicopter, and you wouldn't have stood still when facing the ghost that devoured time." Professor Li said, "You just didn't realize it yourself."

"I just wanted to fill my stomach..." Sun Hang complained silently in his heart.

As a result, in the eyes of others, these "foraging" behaviors have become a symbol of courage.

Although it is important to establish a positive impression in the eyes of others, for some reason, Sun Hang always has a weird feeling.

"In fact, it is very simple to verify this. Think carefully. When you did those things, did you feel afraid or have the idea of ​​retreating?" Professor Li said.

Fear? Fear?

For a moment, Sun Hang felt a little confused-he suddenly realized that after he woke up from the coma, he did not feel the emotion of fear, as if this emotion had been stripped from his personality.

Joy, anger, annoyance, disgust, tension... He has all these emotions, but he lacks fear.

Sun Hang tried to imagine something that would make him feel scared, but after thinking for a long time, his mind was blank.

Whether it was the dark abyss outside the strange office building, the extremely mysterious three-ape statue, or the original primary strange thing that only existed "theoretically"... these things could not arouse Sun Hang's fear.

For him, these things were not even as strong as the emotional impact of "forgetting to bring toilet paper when taking a shit".
