Chapter 28 Trial Steps
"The style of this title is a funny video?"
Luo Jun curiously clicked on the short video. It was a surveillance camera at the entrance of the cinema. A young man who looked like a student stopped and asked questions when he met everyone. Others waved and shook their heads, rejecting him.
No speech can be heard in the video, but special effects are used to add text.
"Would you like a ticket? The latest blockbuster!"
"No, no, no..."
The moment he saw this video, Luo Jun's eyes widened... Wasn't it me?
The video was obviously cut, and quickly jumped to the scene where Luo Jun caught the man in the trench coat, and then was kicked out by the man in the trench coat. With the text "I told you not to, you don't understand!"
The video ends abruptly, with Luo Jun just leaning back and taking off, facing the camera with a mask of pain.
The video had only a few hundred reposted comments, so it was not a popular video, but because the protagonist in it was an acquaintance, there was a lively discussion in the class group.
"Hahahaha... Luo Jun, have you developed a second career?"
"I remember you asked Ling Xin to watch a movie two days ago. Isn't that the ticket you sold?"
"He didn't say anything. You must have guessed correctly..."
"Brother Jun, you told me earlier. I went to see that movie too. It was quite exciting. I should have bought this movie from you if I had known it!"
"This kick looks so strong, are you injured?"
"Stop talking, I'm in the ICU and the oxygen tube has just been removed..."
…………
More and more students in the group began to participate in the discussion, and many people @Luo Jun asked him to come out and explain.
Luo Jun frowned, not because he was teased. Now that he had the secret dice and was exposed to the extraordinary realm, his mentality was already different.
What he really cares about is how this video appeared on the Internet.
When reporting the situation, he also asked the process team whether it would cause panic if so many people in the mall saw supernatural phenomena.
The answer was that Yuanxiu has a aftermath department that uses special abilities and props to modify the memories of onlookers, and even hypnotize them to delete the videos and photos they took. Even if there are occasional fish that slip through the net, video materials involving supernatural phenomena will be blocked on the Internet, or comments will lead everyone to think that it is a special effects video to prevent large-scale dissemination.
Could this be a fish that slipped through the net? But this shooting angle is the surveillance of the shopping mall, right? Shouldn't we focus on cleaning up as soon as possible?
While Luo Jun was thinking, the messages in the group stopped. He looked curiously and found that someone finally spoke for him.
"That's almost it. Isn't it fun to make fun of your classmates?"
One sentence ends the topic! Who speaks so forcefully? Clear the place instantly!
Luo Jun was very surprised by the supportive voice. The avatar who spoke for him was a cute kitten. Luo Jun was a bit unfamiliar. This person should rarely speak in the group. Looking carefully, the name next to it is...Ling Xin?
It's actually her? Luo Jun was a little surprised.
Although the two were in the same class, they had little contact with each other. If it weren't for Tianji Dice's coercion, Luo Jun might not be able to speak a word to her for a month.
Will she speak for me? Could it be that you feel guilty for rejecting me and want to make amends?
Unexpectedly, Ling Xin looked cold and aloof, but she was actually quite kind and a good girl!
Ling Xin's words silenced the group for a while, and finally Gao Qiang, the initiator of the matter, broke the awkwardness.
"Oh Ling Xin, everyone just thinks the video is funny and it's just a joke. You see, Luo Jun doesn't take it seriously, right?"
The implication is that the owner has not expressed his position, so why are you anxious?
"You didn't say anything and I forgot!" Ling Xin didn't give any face and responded tit for tat: "What did you want to do when you followed me on Friday?"
"Who is following you? Don't slander anyone!" Gao Qiang immediately retorted.
"Do you dare to do it or not? Scum!"
As soon as Ling Xin's words came out, the focus of the group was immediately drawn away. Everyone seemed to have forgotten Luo Jun's video and started to boo.
You know, although Ling Xin looks a little cold, she is still very gentle and decent when interacting with others, with a faint elegant temperament. In the three years of high school, she had never had a conflict with anyone, let alone cursed someone.
Today, he openly challenged Gao Qiang in the group, which really shocked everyone and started to follow suit.
"Hey, Gao Qiang, you are really good at playing. It's so exciting to follow you on the streets."
"Selling tickets, Luo Jun, can only be considered as a necessity of life. You are a bit of a polite scum, right?"
"Come on, explain."
"There is no shame in having a secret crush. There is no need to follow you. Just express your love loudly in the group and we will support you!"
…………
Facing the public attacks from his classmates, Gao Qiang was really unable to defend himself. That day, he was indeed entrusted by Han Yuli to find out who Ling Xin was dating. He followed Ling Xin to two intersections, but Ling Xin turned a corner and disappeared. He didn't know anything. See it.
For a girl with Ling Xin's temperament and appearance, many people would believe her even if she was slandering her, not to mention the truth.
In just a few words, the topic turned to high-powered tracking, and no one in the group discussed Luo Jun's short video anymore.
Although he didn't care much, Luo Jun was still very grateful for it. Of course, he wasn't sure whether Ling Xin really helped him out, or was simply being followed and wanted to vent her anger. At least, it turned out that she did help him.
For this reason, Luo Jun chatted with Ling Xin privately and sent her a thank you.
After two minutes, Ling Xin replied, "You're welcome."
Luo Jun smiled, put the phone aside, turned off the light, and covered himself with the quilt...
Early the next morning, after getting up, Luo Jun sent a message to his class teacher, saying that he had a fever and asked for a day off. Regardless of whether the teacher agreed or not, he put the cigarettes and alcohol he had prepared in an inconspicuous paper bag and carried it out.
Ningdong University is located at the foot of Ningyuan Mountain in the western suburbs of Ningdong City. Although this university is named after Ningdong City, to most people in Aurora, Ningdong University is far more famous than Ningdong City.
This is one of the top ten higher education institutions in Aurora, and it is also the highest dream of local students in Ningdong.
To be honest, with Luo Jun's grades, he was thankful to be admitted to an ordinary undergraduate program. He never thought that he would have anything to do with this prestigious school.
"Hello..." At ten o'clock in the morning, Luo Jun came to the south door on time and knocked on the window of the duty room.
"Professor Yuan asked me to come."
"Professor Yuan?" The young guard was stunned and said to himself that there are so many professors in the school, how could I know whose surname is Yuan...
But before the words were spoken, the guard suddenly lowered his head and seemed to have dozed off. When he raised his head again, his eyes were a little distracted.
"Okay, come with me." He said, turning around and greeting his companions inside: "I'll go in and do some errands, and I'll be back in a minute."
Luo Jun didn't know why and walked into the campus with the young guard.
The campus of Ningdong University covers a large area and has a high proportion of greenery. Standing on the campus, you can see the towering Ningyuan Mountain when you look up. The various buildings are well-proportioned and perfectly integrated with the natural landscape. You can often see people walking on the roadside. The students are full of intellectual and youthful atmosphere.
"It's a famous university after all, this feeling is different..." Luo Jun admired as he walked, turning to look at the young guard, "In which department does Professor Yuan teach?"
The guard didn't seem to hear him, ignored him, and just kept walking forward.
Luo Jun, who was bored, curled his lips and followed quickly.
The two of them passed the teaching building, gymnasium, library, dormitory building... They almost passed through the entire campus. There were fewer and fewer students around, and it became more and more desolate.
Luo Jun looked up at Ningyuan Mountain, which was getting closer and closer, wondering where he was going?
Finally, after passing through a hazy fog, we came to a stone step in the mountains.
"Follow this stone step all the way up, and you will see Professor Yuan."
"Go from here?" Luo Jun looked up, "Is this the way to climb the mountain?"
Before he could question, the guard turned and left.
Knowing that Mr. Yuan is a strange person who is proficient in vitality and cannot use common sense to reason, Luo Jun sighed and walked up the steps.
With Luo Jun's current physical fitness, climbing a mountain is almost the same as walking on flat ground. In order to save time, he took long strides and ran up. Each step could cross seven or eight steps and climb quickly.
But soon he realized something was wrong. As he climbed higher and higher, he felt an invisible resistance on his body. Slowly, he could only cross four or five steps in one step, and then he could only go up two steps. In the end, even with his physical strength, he felt as if his legs were filled with lead and he could only climb up one step at a time.
Luo Jun initially guessed that the gravity on the stone steps was different, but seeing that the fragile paper bags in his hands were intact, he knew that the resistance was only acting on him.
Is it a test?
Luo Jun gritted his teeth, and his energy circulated in his body, focusing especially on his legs and waist. He tried his best to climb up, but he soon discovered that the steps consumed his energy very quickly. He didn't climb very far before his body was exhausted. The vitality reserves have bottomed out, and in the end, you can only rely on muscles to climb.
Finally, after climbing an unknown number of steps, he came to a mountain pavilion. Sitting in the pavilion was an old man carrying a thermos cup, a goatee, and an obvious baldness. It was Yuan Shouzhen.
