It was July in the middle of summer but Phecda Cemetery was eerily quiet. Today was a cloudy day.
Du Dong had finished his rest and returned to his post at the patrol unit. Phecda was lacking manpower and now it was still lacking manpower. The mausoleum of Gu Jun that he once saw with his own eyes had been repaired and it appeared to have more spiritual energy than before. It appeared like Captain Gu was finally resting in peace there.
The news of Captain Gu's death shocked the outside world and at the same time, it shocked the internal department of Phecda.
Previously, the official cause of death was a brain tumour but now it was announced that the real cause of death was an assassination attempt by a high level reviewer. But this was the truth, a cruel and absurd truth. Naturally, the reputation of the review department plummeted but that was something else, something that Du Dong did not know.
What Du Dong saw was that since a few days ago, a large group of students from Phecda came to the cemetery to pay their respects to Captain Gu.
There were students from college students to primary school students. Every day, from seven o 'clock in the morning until six o' clock in the evening, the stream of people would disperse, regardless of the weather.
Phecda Cemetery was much livelier than before. This was probably the busiest it had been since the cemetery was built. People did not just leave after paying their respects to Captain Gu but they also paid their respects to the other heroes. Most of the heroes had just been introduced to them.
It was almost noon when another group of high school students arrived before Gu Jun's mausoleum under the lead of their teachers and staff.
These students came from different high schools in the city. They were all young students who were going to participate in the entrance exam for Phecda University. Xie Jiajie and Lee Chengyu were among them.
On the bus, they chattered non-stop. Even though they were going to the cemetery, they were rather excited. After all, this was the first time they were so close to this mysterious circle. But once they entered the cemetery and saw the many tombstones, they naturally quieted down.
The pictures on the tombstones were mostly in the prime of their lives. There were quite a few who were very young. For example, Captain Gu's face still had a hint of green in it.
More than ten students stood before the grave. The picture of the doctor in the white coat seemed to carry an invisible force of authority. It forced them to straighten their backs involuntarily. Even the most casual and careless of them had a serious expression on their faces. The group saluted Captain Gu in unison.
Some of the female students who were especially infatuated with the captain even had tears in their eyes and were on the verge of sobbing.
As Xie Jiajie saluted, he said internally, 'Captain Gu, rest in peace. We are all very impressed by you. Perhaps this is what they mean by 'God is jealous of geniuses' … Please bless me from the heavens to get me into Phecda University. I also want to protect this world … "
After a moment of silence, the homeroom teacher said softly, for fear of disturbing the rest of the deceased.
The male and female students who were responsible for presenting the flowers took the bouquet and walked to the front of the grave. The grave was already covered with various kinds of fresh flowers. Since the organizers did not recommend a wreath that was too big, the flowers presented were fresh flowers that had not wilted yet. They gave off different fragrances.
Xie Jiajie watched as the students placed the flowers in their hands onto the pile. Even though he could not present the flowers personally, he knew that he was doing it for Captain Gu.
After presenting the flowers, the group wanted to stay for a while longer. They wanted to sweep Captain Gu's grave or just accompany him quietly.
However, they were not the only group that came to pay their respects. When they came from the center of the cemetery, there were already several groups waiting behind them. Therefore, with complicated emotions, they bade farewell to Captain Gu and went to pay their respects to the other heroes. Then, they returned to their normal lives.
Just like the homeroom teacher said, "You have to live your own lives to the fullest. That is the best way to repay heroes like Captain Gu."
After leaving the cemetery, the group took the bus back to the university. The Phecda assessment would be held in two days.
On the way back to school, another piece of big news came out of nowhere.
"Quick, look at your phone, Phecda has just announced two 'sigils'!" Following the exclamation of a student, the group started to scroll through their phones.
Obviously, this news was not announced to the universities before it was announced. The teachers were shocked as well.
Xie Jiajie took out his phone to browse the internet. Soon, he saw that this was a news that was meant for the whole society. There were Chinese, English, Russian and many other languages. There were texts and videos.
He skimmed through the news first. The gist of it was that supernatural power was a kind of physics that was unknown to the universe. It believed that humanity would one day be able to unravel this scientific theory … After all, the existence of supernatural power did not mean the existence of the so-called gods and ghosts, but supernatural power did exist.
These powers would affect the human body and one's mind. It could be regarded as damaging to one's health. The so-called enlightenment website from before was like that. It would invade one's mind and thoughts, and it could easily cause post-traumatic stress disorder, leading to all kinds of sequelae. It was a kind of mental poison.
"Ah, thank God we didn't go to that website …" A student grumbled with lingering fear.
Xie Jiajie continued to read the news. Phecda had announced two 'sigils', both were effective against supernatural power.
One was called the Ancient Seal and the other was called the Raven Seal.
The two sigils had different uses but they were closely related to Gu Jun's contribution. Phecda was familiar with them and used them to benefit the world.
The public could learn how to use these two sigils and they could place objects with these two sigils in their homes. It would serve as a deterrent against supernatural power.
The students around them chatted excitedly about buying them. Even the homeroom teacher was overjoyed. Obviously, he had already opened the shopping website.
The news was accompanied by a tutorial video. It was a Phecda member personally explaining how to use the Ancient Seal and Raven Seal.
The teacher in the video was a young and beautiful woman called Wang Ruoxiang. She was Gu Jun's former classmate and one of the most powerful members of Phecda. She carefully taught the students how to focus their mind, how to meditate and how to form the sigils.
The whole bus of students was excited. They watched the video and started to learn.
However, the homeroom teacher shouted to stop them, "Look carefully at what she's saying, don't use it for no reason! Even practice has to be done step by step. Forming these two sigils will exhaust your mental energy. Doing it once will feel like you've been studying for hours. The exam is in two days, what you need to do now is to recover your mental energy. "
The students understood that so they stopped. However, they continued to watch. Even though they could not learn immediately, it did not stop them from watching.
