Re-becoming a human being from Conan

"Teacher Jing? Why..."

It seemed that because Ji Xing greeted him, the familiar figure in Hinata's eyes walked over quickly, and his every move made Hinata more certain of the other party's identity.

And when he took off the mask, it was indeed that gentle and beautiful face.

It looked very similar to Rimuru, or should I say that Rimuru looked very similar to her, the only difference was her black hair and black pupils and a few scratches under her right eye.

"Hello, I'm Jingjiang Jingjiang." She responded to Ji Xing politely, then looked at Hinata gently and asked: "Hinata, is this your friend?"

"No, he..." Hinata wanted to answer but stopped, turned his head in astonishment and looked at the rice field, looking for the figures of the five children, but what he saw was the candidates for the Paladins of the brigade.

They worked seriously under the supervision of the official Paladins. A few of them seemed to be curious about the situation here, and they frequently peeked over during work, thinking that they were pretending to be flawless, but Hinata, who had a broad vision, could find out at a glance.

If it were in the past, Hinata would have reprimanded them mercilessly and deducted points from them, but at this moment, Hinata was in no mood at all.

Because she still remembered several familiar paladin candidates in the rice field, who should have become excellent official paladins now. This scene... was the scene of the last paladin selection? !

What happened? Is this real?

In confusion, Hinata could only be sure that it was Ji Xing's doing, so she stared at him closely: "What... did you do?!"

"You must have read the novel before coming here." Ji Xing smiled: "Do you know what the 'if line' is?"

To be honest, Hinata's life before crossing over did not allow her to pay attention to the novel. Instead, she checked a lot of things to make her father disappear from the world, and only then did she have some understanding.

The so-called if line refers to a special story line based on the main story and part of the content of the novel, which is very different from the main line in plot development. It usually starts from a certain time point in the main story, and the story develops differently due to the different experiences and choices of the protagonist.

Hinata is very smart, so she quickly understood what Ji Xing meant. He used some skill to take me back to the time of the last selection, and by greeting Teacher Jing, he created an if line in "My Story"? !

How is this possible? Besides, does he have some kind of mind-reading ability? How did he know that I was regretting this matter just now? !

"You...what are you..."

This attitude made Jing think that Hinata was blaming Ji Xing for greeting her, and she shook her head gently and said, "Hinata, you are still so stubborn. But seeing that you are doing well and making good friends, the teacher is relieved."

She looked at Ji Xing and said, "Please be more tolerant of her. Hinata is actually a very gentle child, but she is used to wrapping herself in coldness. Then... the teacher will not disturb your work. See you next time, Hinata."

After she finished speaking, she put the mask that had been taken off most of the time back on her face, turned around and prepared to leave, but heard a call that surprised her: "Wait, wait! Teacher!"

When she turned around, she saw a complex expression that Hinata had never had before, and said in a strong tone: "Since you are here... let's chat."

Jingjiang Jing was stunned for two seconds before taking off the mask again, showing a happy smile: "Yeah!"

So Jing teacher would be so happy just because I was willing to chat with her...Hinata whispered in her heart and glanced at Ji Xing again.

"You... want to stand here and listen?"

"It's not good to scold the cook after eating." Ji Xing smiled: "Besides, do you think I won't know what you talked about if I don't stand here?"

Hinata's cheeks couldn't help but blush, but it was just a flash, making people think it was an illusion: "Then please step aside first, okay?"

Ji Xing waved his hand and disappeared from the spot.

Hinata breathed a sigh of relief and turned to see Jingjiang Jingjiang looking at him with a confused look.

"That gentleman is..."

"Don't worry about him... Well, he is also a summoner, a very strong and strange guy, but not very famous." Hinata hesitated.

"Is he from the same hometown?" Jing smiled: "No wonder he can be friends with you. If Hinata says he is very strong, then he is really amazing."

"He and I... are not friends yet, just friends of friends." Hinata said: "Let's not talk about him, teacher... how have you been these years?"

Hinata actually took the initiative to care about my situation? Jing was a little surprised, and then smiled from the bottom of her heart again: "Teacher is very good."

Is it very good...Hinata said: "The Ruler of Violent Flame has not appeared for a long time."

That was the name that Jingjiang Izawa made as an A-level adventurer. She was an active legendary adventurer for decades, but she retired a few years ago: "Well, because Yuuki and I took care of some children, some...unfortunate children who were not completely summoned, so we don't have time.

They are all in the Free Academy of the Kingdom of Ingracia, maybe...not long. If you have time, Hinata can go to see them."

Hinata was silent for a while: "They will be fine and will grow up healthily."

"Ah~" Jing was surprised: "Hinata has even learned to comfort people. It seems that you have really changed a lot in the past few years. This is good. In this way...the teacher can really rest assured. I hope the children can also be like your blessing.

The teacher has often heard rumors about you in the past few years. Saint Hinata, the right hand of God, a genius like you has indeed become a big man. But it is hard to imagine that you believe in "God". Is it because this can bring you the kind of future you want?"

Hinata paused for a moment and said frankly: "God Ruminas is actually the Demon King Ruminas Valentine. After being defeated by her, I became her subordinate, but I was... willing to do so."

It’s the ‘if line’ anyway, no matter what Teacher He Jing says, it won’t have any impact, right? After just a few exchanges, she confirmed that the teacher Jing in front of her was the real Jing, and not a phantom based on her own memory and impression.

After confirming this, she realized that her desire to share was much stronger than she thought. She had many, many things she wanted to say to Jing.

As expected, Jing also showed a surprised expression and said: "Luminas? Demon King? Why haven't you heard of it? There is no such person among the top ten demon kings."

"that is because……"

Hinata explained slowly and listened quietly. Unknowingly, the master and apprentice were sitting on the edge of the field, opening their hearts to the fragrance of rice.

…

On the other side, Ji Xing returned to the temple.

What is working at this moment is another ability of Ke Xue's mastery skill. Ji Xing indeed named it the 'if line'.

Or you can call it the ‘theatrical version’.

When Ji Xing fiddled with the timeline and made everyone in the area covered by the skill regard the date as August 9, 1721, the Holy Emperor's Era, not only this day was affected by the skill, but also the 'real' August 9, 1721 , that is, this day one year and ten months ago.

You must know that even in the world of Conan where time keeps jumping, two identical dates will never appear. Although there are so many "Valentine's Day murders", each incident will change at least in years and will not completely overlap.

There is only one case where the overlapping of the main plot will be completely ignored, and that is the theatrical version where the story is basically independent of the main plot!

When he confused the date to August 9, 1721, the real August 9, 1721 overlapped with it, and was dominated by the Ji star, extending into a special 'if line'.

At this moment, he can consume magic elements and select someone to enter the if line in a specific way. For example, the current Hinata is loaded into the body of himself more than a year ago with consciousness.

And this ability is more than that simple. Everything in the if line will return to its original state when Ji Xing cancels the skill, or it will be destroyed directly at that time. Therefore, any impact they cause will not change the future, which means that Ji Xing can Here... do whatever you want!

"who are you?!"

Although it was the selection day for the Holy Knights, there were still elite guards here in the church temple. They soon discovered that Ji Xing, a complete stranger, had not been summoned at this time, and quickly put themselves on guard.

"here it is……"

Bang bang——

Without listening to their explanation and warning, Ji Xing waved his arm, and the magical wind stuck the guard to the wall, making him unable to pry it off.

He rushed straight into the temple, and when he encountered any blockers, he knocked them away and knocked them unconscious. He swaggered all the way to the inner hall. Finally, a figure flashed in front of him, and a powerful being appeared in front of him.

Roy Valentine in disguise!

At this point in time, Roy naturally did not recognize Ji Xing. He stared at Ji Xing with caution and anger: "You bastard! You broke into my territory! Go to hell!"

A red beam of light shot out from his palm, as if magic power that could destroy everything was directed towards Ji Xing.

But when he was two meters away from Ji Xing's body, he was easily blocked by a magic barrier.

Just when Roy looked shocked, Ji Xing repaid evil with kindness, "buying and selling by force"!

Given to: Roy Valentine.

Granted skill: Glory of the Dead!

It is the passive skill of Thane, the undead war god in the alliance!

Buzz - In the strange fluctuation, Roy received the skill information: after being killed, you will encourage yourself to stand up, but your health will be lost quickly. During this period...

What the hell? After being killed? Will I stand up? Can you still stand up after dying? !

Roy was stunned for a moment, and a cold light flashed across him.

The sharp pain in his throat made him subconsciously swing his arms to attack Ji Xing in front of him, but he only hit the afterimage. Ji Xing had already returned to the opposite side of him.

The splashing blood and the passing power made him angrily cover the wound on his neck, but he couldn't stop the erosion of a powerful energy. Obviously the depth of the wound was not enough to take away the life of this demon king, but he fell to death in just three seconds!

Then, he opened his eyes and stood up.

At the same time, a strong anger filled his body. He only felt that his vitality was passing by every minute. At the same time, he lost all his skills and magic power, leaving only infinite strange power that far exceeded his life! Wait—before death? !

By the way, I'm dead!

But I'm alive again? !

"Woohoo!!"

He couldn't speak, he could only roar.

The figure that seemed to grow larger rushed towards Ji Xing, waving its fists wildly.

Ji Xing sheathed his sword and blocked one by one. The corridor of the temple was quickly shattered and collapsed by the violent power of both sides. In just ten seconds, it seemed as if the sky was about to collapse, until Roy died suddenly on the spot.

Well, the life force has ended and the skills have expired. Roy is really dead this time.

However, the income brought to Ji Xing in just ten seconds is comparable to the income brought by all the people who bought his skills in half a day in his normal state!

As early as when Shyvana faced off against the Burning Flame Dragon, it was verified that the existence of the Demon King level and the full use of Ji Xing's skills in a life-and-death battle would bring extremely huge rewards to Ji Xing!

"That's great."

Looking down at Roy, Ji Xing dispersed the nuclear magic shot by Roy's twin brother Rey with a backhand knife. The corridor leading to the inner hall finally collapsed, revealing the beautiful scenery of the spiritual peak outside.

Lei Yi naturally would not be buried under such a level of destruction, and he did not seem to be sad about his brother's death. He only stared at Ji Xing solemnly and asked: "Who are you? A brave man?"

"Hey."

The second round of forced buying and selling!

Granted to: Rey Valentine.

Granted skill: cell division!

This time it’s the passive of Biomancer Zach!

So in the strange fluctuations, Rey also received Ji Xing's skill information: Every time your magic hits an enemy, a small piece of mucus will splash out. If you absorb this mucus, you will regain a certain amount of strength. When killed, you will split into four pieces of tissue...

What the hell is this? !

Even with a more stable character, Rey was in chaos at this moment, so Roy's experience repeated itself, and his throat was slit by Ji Xing's sword!

It's not that I don't have a long memory, it's that I really can't react. The sword speed is too fast.

The dead body of Rey split into four pieces with a snap and slowly gathered in the middle. During this period, his consciousness was even clear, so he understood the message just now, but was even more shocked: "What on earth...are you?" people?!"

After being resurrected, he did not attack, but asked in a heavy tone, and the answer was still a sword.

"Why don't you cooperate?"

The skill was 'cooling down', so Rey really fell to death, and the benefits he brought were only about one-fifth of Roy's, but...it wasn't bad.

Because experience can be gained repeatedly!

"It's really annoying. There are weird guys coming to trouble me." In a cold and arrogant voice, Luminas finally appeared at this point in time. She raised her head slightly and said: "You two still want to How long will you sleep?”

As she asked, Roy and Rey, who had become corpses, trembled, regained their vitality, and slowly got up. This time it’s not Ji Xing’s skills, but Luminas’ authority as the ancestor of vampires!

Vampires who die within her sight can be resurrected with the infusion of her power!

"Lord Luminas, please be careful, this human being... is very weird!"

Rey reminded, while Roy gathered his strength with a sullen face. The two of them still had Ji Xing's 'sell' skill, and because they died and were resurrected, both skills had their cooldown terminated!

The three demon kings surrounded Ji Xing in a "pin" shape. Ji Xing smiled and flashed.

With the blessing of the Dragon Slayer King, the speed of movement even exceeded the eyesight of ordinary demon kings, and only Luminas could react.

But the magic she pushed out with her backhand was in vain, and then she felt a light tap on her shoulder, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

‘This guy… is too fast! ’

Just when she was preparing for defense, thinking that she would receive a heavy blow, Ji Xing's palm was only lightly touched, and at the same time, a skill message also penetrated into Luminas' head.

Different from the other two, Luminas has a much greater amount of magic power, and 'forcible selling' requires physical contact, and the skill Ji Xing chose to give her is also very special - mana accumulation.

This is the only passive of the equipment "Tear of the Goddess" in League of Legends! After the Ji Xing magic modification and maximum effectiveness, it has become what it is now: every time you use magic, your maximum magic value will increase by 10,000 points, up to a million points.

This has been a huge improvement for Luminas, who originally only had about four million magic points!

Reading the information about the skills, Luminas finally understood why the 'two idiots' were stunned in the battle just now, and why they entered a strange state after death. Who else was not stunned?

She was also stunned, but Roy and Rey would not be stunned this time. In desperate need, they rushed towards Ji Xing crazily, fought with Ji Xing, and were double killed by Ji Xing in just three seconds!

The undead war god stood up again.

Situo Xiang also appeared again.

With satisfactory skill gains, Ji Xing dealt with Roy's body while still looking at the surprised Luminas.

The ‘perpetual motion combination’ is assembled!

Give it half a year of experience first!

…

At the same time, Hinata had just finished telling Jing all her experiences after being separated from him, and there was a little silence between the two.

"There are good people among the demon kings."

A few seconds later, Jing Qing murmured with emotion: "Although absolute averageness and equality are not necessarily a good thing, in such a world, the Holy Kingdom of France is really a pure land on earth."

"I also have such doubts." Hinata nodded: "Compared with the Kingdom of Ingracia, the people here always have gentle smiles, lack the sense of competition, and have no personal characteristics... But just like what you said, teacher, we There is no way or ability to ask for more.”

After a pause, she looked at Jing's face and added: "Maybe there will be someone in the future, or the devil, who will be able to do better."

Rimuru, is that okay?

Jing was only surprised by another point: "Hinata, have you been to the Kingdom of Ingrassia?"

"Yeah." Hinata admitted, in the future, while sniping Rimuru, and then changed the subject: "What about you, teacher. You haven't answered my question yet. Are you... okay during this time?"

"Me? I'm fine...it's just those children that worry me. I hope they can turn around as you said, Hinata..."

"Teacher, you are very good at lying."

Jing paused, blinking in distress.

Hinata shook her head gently, thinking back now, the teacher did not come to meet me ‘back then’, but looked at me from a distance and left, probably because he was afraid that I would notice something.

“Is the spirit in your body about to be suppressed?” Hinata continued.

Jing has been summoned to this world for more than 70 years. Although she looks like a 16-year-old girl, she is actually over 90 years old.

Humans who are not heroes and do not have specific skills cannot stay young forever. The reason why Jing has the current appearance is that a violent fire spirit, Ifrit, has been fused into her body.

That is the masterpiece of Demon King Leon.

Jingjiang Izawa is the last ‘semi-finished product’ summoned by Demon King Leon when he was chasing his childhood sweetheart Chloe. At that time, she was only eight years old and faced the same situation as the children she is taking care of now. It was Ifrit that was integrated into her body that allowed her to survive until now.

But Ifrit is both the reason for success and failure. Jing cannot control it. She will lose control and do things she doesn't want to do because of it. She can only seal it and restrict it with the anti-magic mask, suppressing Ifrit's magic for decades.

"In about two months, the spirit in Jing's body will be out of control."

Jing, who was originally silent, smiled: "Hinata can even infer the time? But the teacher thinks he can hold on for at least a year. I will find a way, don't worry."

No, you can't.

In two months, you will go to the Demon Federation, where you will lose control. The Ifrit in your body will be swallowed by Rimuru, and you will age quickly without the spirit, and eventually entrust everything to the slime and be swallowed by her.

Hinata was a little disappointed. Change it?

No, this is just the so-called if line world created by Ji Xing's skills, which is self-deception.

Besides, isn't it a relief for Jing? She can see that Jing's face, which always smiles gently, hides more things. Jing is not that happy.

"Teacher, you know my past, but I don't know you very well." Hinata said, "Can you tell me more?"

Jing was startled and smiled, "It's rare that you are willing to understand, I am willing to share with you."

Childhood memories are already blurred, Jing only remembers a fire and a war. The flying bomber brought disaster to the world. Her mother dragged her to escape in the flames and was eventually swallowed by the flames. Only she was summoned to this world by the demon king Leon at the moment of death.

Afterwards, she merged with Ifrit and lived in Leon's castle. The young girl was deeply influenced by Ifrit, because the monster adopted by her childhood playmate showed hostility to Leon, Ifrit took over her body and burned her best friend to ashes with a flame.

"At that time, I was really miserable and wanted to commit suicide, but was always stopped by the Demon King Leon. Until one day, the hero came to my door. Leon asked me to cover him when he escaped. I thought my life could finally end, but the hero didn't kill me and took me in.

The next few years were probably my happiest time, until one day, Chronoa, the hero, suddenly disappeared. Then you know, using the mask left by the hero, I suppressed Ifrit and became an adventurer, the ruler of the Explosion."

Jing shook her head and said, "In fact, I don't hate the Demon King Leon, and I don't blame the hero for leaving without saying goodbye. I just... have some wishes. Since I told you, Hinata, please help the teacher if you have the chance.

Help me find the hero and ask Leon for me, what am I to him, a tool? Or... a person?"

If Hinata knew the time and space cycle brought by Chloe, she would know that the hero who adopted Teacher Jing was herself who took over Chronoa's body, and left without saying goodbye because she came to this world herself and was helped by Jing.

Fate connected them into a circle.

"The strongest hero, Chronoa?" Hinata knew that Teacher Jing should have entrusted all these to Rimuru, but that didn't matter. No matter what the situation was, she was entrusted this time.

"I'll keep an eye on it. And I'll ask Demon King Leon for you."

"... Be careful."

"I will."

Hinata agreed, paused for a few seconds and said: "It turns out that Teacher Jing also had an unfortunate past, and even thought about ending her life..."

"Maybe Hinata is right, the teacher is too weak." Jing smiled: "The idea of ​​ending your own life is the most cowardly. Only by living can there be a future and realize your wishes.

Just like today, if the teacher couldn't talk to you openly, he would definitely die with regret and worry about you, right? You are finally not so cold anymore, Hinata."

Hinata's eyes suddenly turned red for some reason, and he paused for a few seconds before easing up and said: "I'm sorry, I made you worry."

Jing looked surprised: "You actually apologized? Are you really Hinata? Are you dreaming? Hahaha..."

She was joking, but Hinata's heart became more complicated: "Thank you, teacher."

"Thank you again? So~" Jing dragged out the tone: "Hinata, you scared the teacher a little, so what happened?"

Hinata smiled at her: "I just thought things through. I always thought you were weak, but maybe I was the one who was weak. I was trapped in my dissatisfaction with the world and my own sorrow. If some people hadn't been tolerant enough, I might have made a big mistake or paid the price of my life for it."

A strong power wave rose in her body, and Jing's surprise turned into shock.

"Is this... the egg of a hero?"

This means that Hinata has awakened the qualifications of a hero. As long as he finds Ramiris, passes the trial of the light spirit or the dark spirit, and signs a contract, he can become a real hero! Compared with the rarer heroes of the Demon King Saint, every hero can bring changes to the world!

This also means that Hinata's "thinking through" is not just verbal, but a fact.

After a brief moment of unconsciousness, Jing was surprised and worried: "The fate of the hero is destined to be entangled with the demon king, that Luminas..."

"Luminas-sama won't care." Hinata shook her head, and the demon king entangled with my fate may not be Luminas-sama.

...

'Hinata hasn't noticed yet? ! '

Luminas, panting, cares about Hinata. She has resurrected the brothers Roy and Ray for more than 100 times in total. Even with the passive skill of the Goddess's Tears, it is almost at its limit.

'Where did this human who is as strong as Guy come from, and what is he going to do? ! He actually played tricks on me, I must cut him into pieces and suck his blood dry! '

So the battle continued.

In the field, the master and apprentice opened their hearts, and in the temple, Luminas was so tired that she almost cried.

Ji Xing, who was brushing skills, said sorry to Luminas in this timeline in his heart.
