Chapter 739 The Narrow Gate (10)
Although there are no clear regulations, in this closed environment, a strict hierarchy is still established among the children.
The youngest of these children is only ten years old, and the oldest is sixteen or seventeen years old. Logically speaking, the older the child, the higher the rank in the group should be, but this is not the case here. .
Because above these big children, there are adults, that is, the disciplines who are always around.
They do not treat children equally, but prefer those children who perform well during the ceremony. Even if these children are bullied by older children, they only need to report it to the correctional officer. If this happens, then the guards will let the bullying children know who has the final say here.
On the contrary, if the performance of the bullied person is not as good as the bully, then the discipline staff will not only ignore it, but also laugh at it.
In this way, the level was determined subtly.
Even in the last stage of the "course", less than one-third of the students are left, and there are only two ABs in the class, but this rule has been welded into the hearts of the children. .
And standing at the top is a child from Class A.
【一】.
One, she is a sixteen-year-old girl who looks a bit inconspicuous, but has a warm smile. She has never bullied anyone. On the contrary, she is friendly to everyone, but no one dares to offend her. He, not even the guards, were in awe of this young girl.
In the eyes of Ninety-Nine, who have been working hard to obtain "qualifications", one is the only bright existence in this depressing environment, which seems to be shining with light.
As the most outstanding performer among the children, she showed amazing talent during the ceremony. She was the only one who could persist throughout the whole process and still keep smiling.
Jiujiu once had the honor to see with her own eyes that during the ceremony, she was surrounded by uncles and aunts in the center, telling her their sorrow and pain like stars holding the moon.
The black energy emanated from these people like the hands of the devil, attacked her, and kept pouring into her body.
And Yi Zhi seemed to be unaware, maintaining a gentle smile, listening to their troubles, and occasionally answering a few words, as if this was not a ceremony, but just a tea party.
The intrusion of black energy is something that children have experienced together, so they can know how powerful she is. Even the worst children will unconsciously lower their heads in front of her. , dare not, or do not want to show the annoying side.
One is the absolute queen among children and the goal of everyone.
So, as the lowest ninety-nine, in the heart of this ten-year-old child, that is his role model and the object of his learning.
He wanted to learn to smile like that, but after a few months, he found that he could no longer smile. Even if he practiced in front of the mirror, he could only curl the corners of his mouth without a trace of smile. I mean, it's a bit funny.
So at the end of the course one day, Jiujiu found her, mustered up the courage, and asked her, what should I do to be like her?
I touched his head and said: "You don't have to be like me."
Ninety-nine said: "But I want to see my mother again."
Yi was silent for a while and said: "Even if you can persist, there is no way to see her again."
Ninety-nine said: "I will do it, as long as I can get it" Qualification', that's what the adults say."
"You can't see it." He shook his head and left without answering him.
Ninety-nine thought it was because Yi was unwilling to tell him, because that was her secret to remain number one.
So he began to observe Yi's every move, and then discovered that this was a really gentle person. She was willing to show mercy and sympathy to anyone, and she never lost her patience, no matter who it was. Talk to her and she will listen carefully. So Jiujiu began to learn what she did. He no longer resisted the black energy that invaded him during the ceremony, but forced himself to endure it. His confused brain made him show a false smile.
That smile was extremely scary, as if it were some kind of non-human creature pretending to be a human being, exuding an aura that made people inexplicably uneasy.
Everyone disliked him, and the children laughed at him for being a fool, and not everyone could imitate him.
But Jiujiu still insists on doing this, because he believes that as long as he can persist, he can take his mother home, and the family of three can reunite again and live their previous life.
One had warned him that he would collapse if he did this. But Jiujiu just responded to him with a stiff smile.
I don’t know how many days passed, and many children left, and there were not many children left. Surprisingly, Jiujiu actually stayed, but everyone could see that he was about to explode. No, he was forced to stay here, like a fully inflated tire, still inflating himself.
So no one dared to look at his smile anymore, and even those who had bullied him before stopped making trouble for him. Jiujiu thought this was proof of his success, so he So it went on.
And one day, while undergoing the ceremony, Jiujiu forced himself to smile and accepted the black energy until he could no longer laugh.
Ninety-nine's consciousness was about to collapse. He kept smiling, and countless black lines emerged from his body, scaring away the people around him. No one dared to approach him. Only one person was still standing there, pity. looked at ninety-nine.
Ninety-nine could no longer distinguish what was in his eyes. He walked to Yi's side with difficulty and murmured: "Mom, is it you? Great, Pingtai finally sees you. "
Sighed, stroked her head and said, "Yes, we meet again."
"I don't want to let you go again." Ninety-nine insisted. With a stiff smile, he said: "Let's go home."
"No, Heita." Yi said: "Those who go to that world can never go back, so give up."
"But, but..." Jiujiu forced himself not to let himself go. With a sad expression and distracted eyes, he said: "I miss home, I don't want to stay here anymore, but I can't find my way home..."
A soft voice said: "It's okay, Mom I’ll take you home.”
Those black lines with claws and claws seem to be attracted, and they actively penetrate into Yi’s body. She is absorbing these things.
"Then will you go back with me?" Jiujiu asked.
"Just think of it as a dream, Heita." Yi said: "Mom will be here with you, go to sleep, and when you wake up, the nightmare will dissipate."
With the chaos in the body The black line was absorbed, Jiujiu's stiff smile slowly disappeared, his eyelids began to fight and were about to close.
"..." Qian Xiaoyi silently looked at the children hugging each other in front of him, and thought: "Is this Heitaro's past?"
"...But I still have another one. The reason why I can't go back." Jiujiu murmured: "Because I no longer have a home."
He suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Yi's neck, and raised his body. The figure grew taller, and more black lines began to erupt in the body.
The face composed of countless black lines faced Qian Xiaoyi, forming a scary smile.
"And I haven't...killed all these guys yet." Heita Inuyama grinned at him.
