Chapter 729: On the Last Love in Foreign Languages (II)
As the BGM suddenly dropped, the holographic projection scene changed again
The 'little deceased' classmate played by Ji Xiaodao Obviously she did not give up. After seeking help from her head teacher to no avail, she began to consciously collect various intelligence, starting from staying up all night in the library to investigate the history of this strange city. Visiting the neighbors around her temporary residence, she, who is not good at socializing with others, continues to work hard in her own way. However, whether it is a classmate from the student union who plays the role of the municipal library administrator, or the school janitor who plays the role of the grocery store owner next door, it seems that everyone None of them wanted to talk too much about the matter of 'Wangfeng College High School Class 3'. This situation caused Xiaomi's investigation to reach a deadlock almost at the beginning.
But she didn’t give up because
“It’s not fair.”
It was still the classroom with an increasingly gloomy tone. The girl was spinning her pen absentmindedly while turning her head to look at the boy sitting alone in the corner staring out the window. The narration she had recorded in advance echoed in the air——
"Although I don't know what happened to you, even though I consider myself not a busybody who likes to get to the bottom of things, and even though the reason why I paid attention to you disappeared not long ago, but"
"This This kind of ridiculous thing, this kind of pain is not caused by yourself, but is imposed by the outside world, and it should not be borne by people like you who are still willing to have good intentions towards others after being isolated for so long."
Classmate Xiao Ming’s eyes were bright and firm, and he lightly clenched his fists.
“It doesn’t matter even if you don’t want to. It doesn’t matter even if you are said to be nosy. Since I am not a lovable type, this level of willfulness is only reasonable. ”
The BGM once again became relaxed and cheerful, as if everything that had been depressing before was just a phantom or a dream that had never really existed. The various scenes in the school once again restored a vibrant and youthful atmosphere. The only difference is, Ji Xiaodao, who had never really appeared in these scenes before, that is, classmate Xiao Ming, somehow integrated into it. Although his temperament was still cold, he still slowly integrated into the group and became one of those smiling faces.
She started going to the cafeteria to eat with a few girls
She started tutoring members of the same study group with their homework.
She started sitting on the roadside with everyone in her free time Chat
She began to look stiff and listen to pop music that she originally dismissed at the suggestion of her 'new friends'
The original 'weird' classmate Xiaomi is gone, replaced by a quiet girl who doesn't like to talk but gets along well with everyone. In the last few scenes of this series of non-stop transitions, She even has several 'best friends' and 'suitors'.
As for Xiaomi, who has completely integrated into the class, like everyone else, he completely ignores the boy in the corner who is always acting as a backdrop.
Everything looks so normal, even so normal that it makes people want to yawn. After all, on a stage equipped with holographic projections, these too ordinary daily scenes, even if they are touching at first, will become more so. It tires the audience quickly.
But everyone present really didn’t feel bored, because they could never forget the first scene, the blood-red crescent moon, the pale girl, and the sharp hatchet
< br>Finally, after a moment, Ji Xiaodao’s first-person narration sounded again——
"I successfully became a member of this class, and in the process gradually discovered that the world I was in in the past seemed a bit too pale."
"Although I initially fought with everyone with a purpose. Relationship, but I don’t know since when, I gradually started to enjoy it. After participating in many things, I found that they are not boring at all.”
“This is a rare ‘normal’ day. I am no longer the one who is out of tune with the environment Weird, I have friends, hobbies and even things I like, just like a hazy and happy dream"
"I was shocked to find that I am not actually a 'weird', just a person who is simply because of my personality and psychology. They are just ordinary people who have locked themselves in a box for reasons, and now, the box is opened."
"Unfortunately, that is just everything outside, but it is just a seemingly warm and happy event, but in fact it is extraordinary. A cold and cruel illusion."
The scene is set in a park one afternoon, next to a brightly colored swing. The characters are Xiao Ming and her classmates.
"Have you finally gotten used to the life after transferring to another school?"
The girl with a few freckles on her face covered her mouth and smiled softly, turning her head to wink at Xiao Mian, who was sitting by the swing and reading a book. Blink: "We were very concerned about you when you first came here. Although many people thought you were strange and unsociable, it's great that you can get along well with everyone now."
Classmate Xiao Ming Nodding slightly: "Well, I've been taking care of you more and more lately"
"Hey, it should be said that you are the one who takes care of us, especially tutoring homework~"
The girl walked to sit next to classmate Xiao Ming and stuck out her tongue: "After all, our school is very strict about the admission rate. Although there are many extracurricular activities, the pressure of homework and exams is really too much. Wow, if it weren't for you, , I will definitely be called a parent after last month’s quiz!”
Xiao Mian smiled and shook his head: “I just did what I could.”
At the same time, her voice-over sounded again -
"A very ordinary conversation, very ordinary politeness, but not hypocritical. There is sincere gratitude to each other. This This feeling is not bad at all”
“But it is precisely this kind of comfortable and lazy daily life that still oozes a chill that makes me chill”
"The corner that everyone can see and is deliberately ignored by everyone has never appeared in any topic"
"I like you very much, so I really hope you can give me the following questions. My wrong answer"
The narration and BGM are hidden together.
After a brief silence, classmate Xiao Mian turned to look at his friend who was holding a reference book and asked softly: "By the way, Xing, how many people are there in our class?"
"Eh? No, it was just a few months ago. Don't you know how many people are in the class now?"
The girl known as Xing blinked, then spread her hands and said: "Of course it is."
She suddenly paused and paused for half a second before continuing: "Twenty people."
“Twenty people?”
Classmate Xiao Ming pursed his lips and said softly: "Well, I'll count, starting from Shanshan in the first row and the first column, one, then Fang Zheng in the second row and the first column, two, Third row.”
Xing looked at her curiously.
One minute later.
"You in the fourth row and the fourth column, nineteen, and then..." Student Xiao Mian paused here, and then asked casually: "Well, fourth Ranked fifth. Who is that person? I didn’t seem to hear him answer when the call was called.”
< br>
The next second, the face of the girl named Xing suddenly turned pale, and then she turned her head away stiffly: "Xiao Xiaomi, what are you talking about? That kind of thing. No, you didn't actually say that just now. What, right?”
Xiao Mian shook his head silently and looked at Xing with burning eyes.
"Yes, that's right. You are a transfer student and have never stayed in this city before."
Xing looked away with twinkling eyes and whispered: "Well, there are some things you may not understand. , But that’s not an important thing, so.”
Xiao Mian gently held the other person’s hand and asked softly: “We are good friends, right?”
“But that.”
“I just don’t like the feeling of being kept in the dark, especially now that I have become familiar with everyone”
"Xiao Ming, I."
The voices of the two became smaller and smaller, and the stage gradually fell into darkness, until the BGM that kept ticking like a clock played for a full minute. Then it lights up again.
The stage has been reshaped by holographic projection into a simple bedroom. There is a set of genuine tables and chairs by the window that I guess were brought up during the blackout just now. Student Xiao Ming is sitting on a pile of handwritten notes. In front of the wooden table with information, I stared blankly at half a yellowed newspaper.< br>
The title hanging at the top is very eye-catching (holographic projection split-screen close-up) - [A fire broke out in Wangfeng Middle School due to unknown reasons, and a student was killed. The reason needs to be investigated urgently]
The date is three One day ten years ago.
"In the third month after changing the method, the investigation finally made substantial progress."
The pre-recorded narration sounded, while Xiao Ming looked at the newspaper in front of him steadily, holding his hands The grip was tight.
“The owner of the coffee shop he frequented used to be the editor-in-chief of a newspaper in this city. For the past thirty years, he has always been brooding about the incident that cost him his job.”
< br>"He gave me this newspaper. Only three thousand copies were printed in total, but before it was published, he was pressured by someone to destroy 90% of the newspaper, and he shared his investigation results with me."< br>
“If I hadn’t found a way to falsify his physical examination results and make him mistakenly believe that he had only a few years to live, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have told me anyway.”
"Combining the information I got from Xing's mouth, I finally managed to restore the full picture of that incident."
"Sadly speaking, it was just a vulgar and superstitious supernatural story."
< br>"On the evening of January 3, 2009, the 60th class of Wangfeng Middle School Students from Class 1 and 3 of the 6th grade were having a ghost story meeting on the rooftop of the teaching building. Only one person did not arrive. At 21 o'clock on the same day, due to improper heating methods, a fire broke out. In the chaos, the door to the rooftop was accidentally locked. A total of 19 Students were trapped and due to the large amount of invigilation equipment stacked on the rooftop, Unable to send out a distress signal
At 22:30 on the same night, the only boy who was not present received a call from his classmate’s parents and was asked about his classmates’ whereabouts. He could not use the phone because he had promised to conceal the information in advance. After contacting his classmates, he found an excuse to go out and return to school. school, and became the first witness when the security team left the dinner party and the school staff fell asleep.
Perhaps he was afraid that his classmates would be held accountable, so the boy did not choose to call the fire alarm or wake him up at the first time. The school worker rushed into the teaching building and went straight to the rooftop
Ten minutes later, when the boys opened the door to the rooftop, because they were outside and the fire spread slowly, everyone except for a few students who were slightly burned was unscathed. However, just as everyone fled outside in a swarm At this time, the boy who opened the door was pushed down the stairs, hit his head on the steps and fell into a coma.
However, the remaining nineteen students who were in a state of panic did not help the boy who usually had no sense of presence. In addition, the latter was bleeding heavily at the time and did not know whether he was alive or dead. He was afraid of taking responsibility. None of the responsible students even tried to call the police, but instead chose to leave him where he was.
Two hours later, when the fire had spread to the point where people could not ignore it, the school janitor who woke up panicked and called the fire alarm.
But it was too late, the boy who could have been rescued had already been burned to cokes in a coma.
The next day, under joint pressure from a certain student’s parents and the school, the truth of the matter was not exposed. It was explained to the public that it was just an ordinary fire, and the cause of the boy’s death was also revealed. It turned out to be an unfortunate accident when I went back to school to pick up something.
At that time, the nineteen students were all told the same story, and each of them was forged with a set of excuses and alibi to deal with the collection of evidence.
Even if the editor who gave me the news found out the truth, he still had no chance to report it, and even lost his job for it.
Then
On April 3, 2009, three months after the fire incident, a total of nineteen students from Class One and Three of Senior High School died within a week. Although the time and place were different, The forms were completely different, and both were accidents, but the incident was still linked to the previous fire.
After that, until XX14, a total of 19 students in Class 3 of Wangfeng Middle School will die in the three years of high school. The causes of death are all accidents, whether it is the cancellation of Class 3 or the The number of students in the third class of the same year is less than 19. This curse-like phenomenon will spread to the entire school until 19 students die. Starting from the 67th class, it will be 19 every three years.
However, because this school with a high enrollment rate has a very strong backing, the public opinion storm that might have arisen at any time during those five years was miraculously suppressed. It was not until 2015 that the school, which was still in constant panic, finally found a solution. Measures
Starting from the 71st class, we will expand the enrollment of 'Grade 1 and Class 3' every two classes, and maintain the number of students in this class at 20 students, and combine a birthday with The exact same person as the boy who was burned to death was recruited into the class.
After that, whether it is resentment or curse, it will be regarded as a substitute for that person, and as long as it is ensured that both classmates and teachers will regard it as 'non-existence' after that, And always be careful not to interact with it, so there won't be any victims in the next three years. "
Xiao Mian put down the newspaper, stood up and walked to the window, with his back to the audience.
The cold voice-over sounded again
"Three years later, the substitute who was regarded by everyone as 'non-existent' was destined to die in a fire before the new class of high school was completed, and there was no chance of being spared."
