Quadruple split.

Chapter 729

With the sudden sinking of the BGM, the scene of the holographic projection changes again
The "Little Death" classmate played by Ji Xiaodao obviously did not give up. After seeking help from the head teacher to no avail, she began to consciously collect various information, from investigating the history of this strange city in the library all night To the neighbors and neighbors around the temporary residence, she is not good at communicating with people, and she keeps working hard in her own way. However, whether it is a classmate from the student union who plays the city librarian as a guest, or the janitor uncle who plays the grocery shopping boss next door, it seems that everyone They didn't want to talk too much about the "Class Three of Wangfeng College Senior High School". This situation made Xiaoyi's investigation almost deadlocked at the beginning.

But she didn't give up, because
"this is not fair."

It was still the same classroom with increasingly darker tones, the girl turned her pen absently while turning her head to look at the boy sitting alone in the corner and staring out of 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 don't think I'm a good person who likes to ask questions, even though my reasons for paying attention to you have disappeared not long ago, but"

"This kind of absurd thing, this kind of pain that is not self-inflicted, but imposed by the outside world, should not be borne by a person like you who is still willing to have kindness to others after being isolated for so long."

Xiaoyi's eyes were bright and firm, and he clenched his fists lightly.

"Even if you don't want to, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter even if people say you're meddling in other people's business. Since I'm not a likable type, it's only reasonable to be willful to this degree."

The BGM became relaxed and cheerful again, as if everything that was depressing before was just a phantom or a dream that never really existed. The various scenes in the school once again restored a vibrant and youthful atmosphere. The only difference is, It was Ji Xiaodao, who had never really appeared in these scenes before, that is, Xiaoyi who blended in at some point. Although his temperament was still cold, he still slowly blended 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 began to sit on the side of the road and chat with everyone in her spare time
She started to listen to pop music that she had dismissed at the suggestion of her 'new friends' with a stiff face
The original 'weird' classmate Xiao Si is gone, and replaced by a quiet girl who doesn't like to talk, but can get along well with everyone. In the last few scenes of this series of non-stop transitions, She even has several 'girlfriends' and 'suitors'.

And Xiao Yi, who has completely integrated into this class, is like everyone else, completely ignoring the boy in the corner who is always acting as the background board.

Everything looks so normal, even normal enough to make people want to yawn. After all, on a stage equipped with holographic projections, even if these too ordinary daily scenes can touch people at first, they will make the audience more quickly. fatigue.

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
Finally, after a while, Ji Xiaodao's first-person narration sounded again——

"I managed to become a part of this class, and in the process, I gradually found that the world I was in in the past seemed a little too pale"

"Although at the beginning I had a purpose to build a good relationship with everyone, but I don't know when I started to enjoy it gradually. After participating in many things, I realized that they are actually not boring."

"This is a rare 'normal' day. I am no longer the weird guy who doesn't fit in with the environment. I have friends, hobbies and even things I like. It's like a hazy and happy dream."

"I was shocked to find that I was not a 'weird', but an ordinary person who locked himself in a box purely because of his personality and psychological reasons. Now, the box has been opened."

"It's a pity that it's just everything outside, but it's just an illusion that seems warm and happy, but in fact is extremely cold and cruel."

The scene is fixed in a park in an afternoon, next to a brightly colored swing, and the characters are Xiaodi's classmate and her classmate friends.

"Are you finally getting used to the life after transferring?"

The girl with a few freckles on her face covered her mouth and smiled lightly, then turned her head and winked at Xiao Yi who was sitting by the swing and flipping through the books: "We were very concerned about you when you first transferred, although many people thought you It's weird and out of place, but it's nice to get along with everyone now."

Classmate Xiaoyi nodded slightly: "Well, I have been taking care of you more and more recently."

"Hey, it should be said that you take care of us, especially tutoring with homework~"

The girl went to sit down next to classmate Xiaoyi, and stuck out her tongue: "After all, our school is very strict on the admission rate. Although there are many extracurricular activities, the pressure of homework and exams is really too much. Ugh, without you , I will definitely be called a parent after last month's quiz!"

Xiaoyi smiled, shook his head and said, "I'm just doing what I can."

At the same time, her voice-over sounded again——

"It's a very ordinary conversation, very ordinary and polite, but it's not fake. There is a sincere gratitude to each other. This feeling is not bad at all."

"But it is precisely this kind of comfortable, 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 the following question, I really hope you can give me a wrong answer"

The narration and BGM are hidden together.

After a brief silence, Xiaoyi turned to look at his friend who was holding the reference book and asked softly, "By the way, Xing, how many people are there in our class?"

"Eh? No, it would be fine if it was a few months ago, don't you know how many people are in the class now?"

The girl named Xing blinked, then spread her hands and said, "Of course it is."

She suddenly got stuck, and paused for half a second before continuing: "Twenty people."

"Twenty people?"

Xiaoyi pursed her lips, and said softly: "Well, I counted, starting with Shanshan in the first row and first column, one, then Fangzheng in the second row and first column, two, and third row .”

Xing looked at her curiously.

After a minute.
"You in the fourth row and fourth column, nineteen, and then."

Xiaoyi paused here for a moment, and then asked casually: "Well, the fourth row and the fifth column. Who is that person? I didn't seem to hear him respond to the roll call."

In the next second, the face of the girl named Xing suddenly turned pale, and then she turned her head away a little stiffly: "Xiao Xiaochen, what are you talking about? "

Xiao Zhi silently shook his head, looking at Xing with burning eyes.

"Yes, yes. You are a transfer student and have never stayed in this city before"

Xing looked away flickeringly, and said in a low voice: "Well, there are some things you may not understand, but they are not important, so."

Classmate Xiaoyi gently held each other'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 by myself, especially now that I know everyone well"

"Xiao Si, I."

The two talked less and less, and the stage gradually fell into darkness, until the BGM, which was ticking like a clock, was played for a full minute before it was turned on again.

The stage was reshaped into a simple bedroom by holographic projection. There was a set of genuine desks and chairs by the window, which were brought up during the blackout just now. Xiaodi was sitting in front of a wooden desk filled with a lot of handwritten materials. He stared blankly at half of the yellowed newspaper.
The title hanging on the top is very eye-catching (holographic projection split-screen close-up) - [Wangfeng Middle School A fire broke out due to unknown reasons, a student was killed, the cause needs to be investigated urgently]

The date is a certain day thirty years ago.
"Three months after the change of approach, the investigation finally made substantial progress."

The pre-recorded narration sounded, and Xiao Di was staring at the newspaper in front of him, clenched his hands tightly.

"The owner of the coffee shop I frequented used to be the editor-in-chief of a newspaper in this city. For the past thirty years, he has always been worried about the incident that made him lose his job."

"He gave me this newspaper that only printed [-] copies, but was pressured by some party to destroy [-]% of the newspaper before it was published, and shared his investigation results back then with me."

"If he hadn't found a way to falsify his medical examination results, making him mistakenly think that he didn't have a few years to live, I'm afraid he wouldn't have told me anyway."

"Combined with the information obtained from Xing's mouth, I finally managed to restore the whole picture of that incident."

"It's a pity to say that it's just a vulgar and superstitious supernatural story."

"On the evening of January 09, XX, the students of the 1th Grade 3 and [-] classes of Wangfeng Middle School held a ghost story meeting on the roof of the teaching building. Only one person did not come. On the same day at [-]:[-], a fire broke out due to improper heating methods. In the chaos, the door of the roof was accidentally locked, and a total of [-] students were trapped. Due to the large amount of invigilation equipment piled up on the roof, it was impossible to send out a distress signal.

At [-]:[-] on the same day, the only boy who was not present received a phone call from a classmate's parent and was asked where his classmate was going. He couldn't reach his classmate by phone because he promised to conceal the news in advance, so he found an excuse to go out and return to school. , and became the first witness when the security team left the dinner and the janitor fell asleep.

Perhaps because he was afraid that his classmates would be held accountable, the boy did not immediately choose to call the fire alarm or wake up the janitor, but rushed into the teaching building and went straight to the rooftop.

Ten minutes later, when the boys opened the door to the roof, because they were outside and the fire spread slowly, except for a few students who were slightly burned, everyone else was unharmed. At that time, the boy who opened the door was squeezed down the stairs, hit his head on the steps and fell into a coma.

However, the other [-] 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 a lot at the time, and his life and death were unknown. Not even one student who was afraid of taking responsibility People tried to call the police, but invariably chose to leave it where it was.

Two hours later, when the fire had spread to the point where it could not be ignored, the 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 coke in a coma.

The next day, under joint pressure from a student's parents and the school, the truth of the incident was not revealed, and it was explained to the public that it was just an ordinary fire, and the cause of the boy's death was also said to be returning to school to collect The unfortunate accident of something.

At that time, the nineteen students were also unified, and each of them was forged a set of statements and alibi to deal with evidence collection.

Even if the editor-in-chief who sent me the news found out the truth, he still had no chance to report it, and even lost his job because of it.

then
On April 09, 4, three months after the fire incident, a total of 3 students in Class [-] and [-] of the original high school died within a week. Although the time, place and form were completely different, and they were all accidents, this incident The incident is still being linked with the previous fire.

After that, until 14, 19 students in Class 19 of Wangfeng High School will die within three years of high school. The cause of death is all accidents. Before 19 people die, this curse-like phenomenon will spread to the entire faculty until 19 people die. Starting from the [-]th class, there will be [-] people every three years.

However, because of the extremely strong background of this school with a very high enrollment rate, the storm of public opinion that might blow up at any time during those five years was suppressed inconceivably. Until XX15, the school, which was still in panic all day long, finally found a way to deal with it. measure
That is to say, starting from the [-]st class of students, the enrollment of the "Grade [-] Class [-]" will be expanded every two classes, and the number of students in this class will always be maintained at [-]. Men who are exactly the same are recruited into the class.

After that, whether that resentment or curse, it will be regarded as the substitute of that person, and as long as it is ensured that both classmates and teachers will regard it as 'non-existent' and always pay attention not to produce it Any interaction, then there will be no victims for the next three years. "

Xiaoyi put down the newspaper, got up and walked to the window, with his back to the audience.

The incomparably cold voice-over sounded again
"And three years later, the substitute who was regarded by everyone as 'non-existent' is doomed to die in a fire before the completion of the new Class [-], Class [-], and there is absolutely no possibility of surviving."
