Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

"I am now free again."

Really, what a pity, I was so close to success. I was so close to escaping from this world.

"Just consider this as the prerequisite for your freedom. As long as you stay there for three years, you can do whatever you want. By then, I won't care about you anymore. I won't even bury you if you die."

"That's really too much. This can't be a trick to fool children."

For example, if you wear two hats, you won't grow taller, you can't hold an umbrella in the house, you can't go out after 2:30 a.m., etc. After all, people have encountered so many deceptions when they were children, which is really scary.

"of course not."

If he calls this a joke three years later, then let's take him with us to be buried with him in a grand ceremony.

"What's the reason?"

"What reason?"

"The reason to go there."

"It is to make you understand the true meaning of life."

"I have already experienced this kind of thing."

"That's because you don't understand yet."

Ah, it was refuted in one sentence. I spent more than ten minutes thinking about the point and it was refuted just like that. It was so sad.

"You don't understand the meaning of life at all. I remember you studied Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory. Don't you think that you are experiencing a normal feeling of continuous or multiple peak experiences of super self-realization?"

"......No, it should be said that it is a problem of teaching methods. This inhumane education system should be rejected from the beginning. But it is too late to say this now."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with the teaching method. On the contrary, it's easier. I still wonder why this model is not more popular."

"Do you think everyone is the same as you? And this model can only be implemented if you have a certain official position. Otherwise, your academic qualifications will be eliminated from the very beginning when you apply for a job."

Ah, that's true. This is a society that values ​​academic qualifications, and doesn't test your true ability. There is no time to do such things. And I have no experience of going to school, only the process of learning.

After saying this, the man fell into a brief silence, staring at the delicious drink in his hand, wondering what he was thinking. I could read the micro-expressions on his face, but even so I still didn't know where his thoughts were, which was strange, but also seemed sparse and normal.

"........I ask you, do you feel pain?" After the rain had blurred the glass windows for who knows how long, the man looked at me with those ridiculous eyes.

Incomprehensible question.

"As long as one is alive, one can feel pain."

"Your ability to answer questions that are not related to the topic is more thoughtful than the rumors say." The man sighed and changed the subject, "You probably have never felt what pain is."

"You must be joking. As long as you are human, you can feel the existence of pain. Besides, I am just an ordinary person. And please don't listen to rumors from the outside world. Your subjective assumptions will make me very distressed."

No one can violate this. Not even ordinary people.

After hearing what I said, he smiled at me sarcastically, which made me a little annoyed.

"Ordinary people, ordinary people again. I have always wanted to know what you mean by ordinary. Are you talking about ordinary people who do not have the wealthy life of the industrial and commercial bourgeoisie, nor the power of the ruling class? Or are you talking about gods who can classify all events as expected and regard them as ordinary, while still maintaining a human body?"

I didn't respond to this statement, in fact I didn't know how to prove myself to him.

I don't intend to waste my energy on this meaningless thing.

"But yes, you probably have experienced the feeling of pain... but that has probably become an image."

"Those things are still well-preserved in my mind."

"But you don't regard these things as your memories at all. They are just images. Even if they are authenticated as memories, you only regard them as a movie-like existence. You don't have a real sense of your own existence."

"You prevented me from committing suicide not long ago, which means I am alive and well now."

I threw the empty can into the trash can and responded to his language art without any care. This was not something I had to learn, but I still understood it. However, he didn't seem to want to continue the discussion with me, but continued the previous topic.

"The reason why people can feel pain is because their evil and good are not pure enough. For you who cannot feel pain, do you have pure evil or pure good?"

"Or you are not a human at all."

I could hear deep malice in his casual words. He wanted to find out everything about my past, and it was obvious that he had begun to doubt me.

"You are really exaggerating. I have real human blood flowing in my body. If you can't do it, I can show you how to do it, even though it will be painful."

"........are you sure?"

"Hey, hey, you're not really going to do that, are you? It's going to hurt." I quickly moved my body to the side, alert to his movements.

A smile suddenly appeared on his serious face. "Of course I'm joking. How can you be a machine? I haven't seen you charge your battery in the past month of monitoring you all day long."

"A month of round-the-clock surveillance...why didn't you tell me about it?"

"Do you think I might let you know?"

"........."

Well, I don't really care about these issues. There were indeed five water drop cameras at that time, and I thought he had some far-reaching purpose and was always careful about his words and actions. In the end, he just wanted to verify the ridiculous conclusion that I was not human.

He put down his cola drink, slowly took out a cigarette from the inner pocket of his suit and put it between his lips. I am extremely confused about the fact that these people who work in the workplace always wear suits. In formal occasions, you must wear a suit, even in the hot summer. This is a kind of etiquette that has become a habit without knowing when, and it is said to mean that employees are positive and optimistic. However, I don't see where this is at all.

"Luo Mu, listen carefully. Although people live to die, this also makes life more meaningful. The meaning of life is to live, and living is to make you cry, to make you laugh, to make you feel pain and anxiety, and to make you feel happiness and warmth."

"That's what you said was missing."

When I heard this reply, I was a little confused about what he meant. When I came to my senses, I found that I was frowning.

"Heh--" He showed a mocking smile on his face and looked at me with an expression that said 'you know nothing at all'.

"That's so fake, little wood."

I don't like being called a log because it's an insult, but this isn't the time to discuss that.

"What do you mean? What are you saying is so fake?"

"Or is it more appropriate to say 'incomplete'?" He shook his head. "Anyway, you will understand it later, after you stay there for three years, or even less than three years."

"......I don't understand, but I think it's fine as long as I can complete your last request."

"Sure enough, there is no mercy at all."

I didn't intend to fight with these words full of riddles, so I asked the question directly.

"Where is the mission location?"

"Highly-developed high school." He said with a smile.

"........You mean I should stay in a middle school for three full years?"

There is no point in going to high school at this time. I won't learn anything there except making friends. Is there any other special place?

"It's different. That high school is not what you imagined." He stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of my eyes. "Life there is different from that of an ordinary high school. It will be more interesting than you think. Don't let yourself be expelled from school before you even have three years."

"........Is it just that I don't have to be expelled from school?" With doubt, I asked him my last question.

"No, of course not. Just not being expelled is far from achieving my goal."

"What exactly do you want to do? If you don't explain the task in detail, I won't be able to act."

"You don't need to know what I want to do. I will set the conditions for you, and you just need to do what I say."

"This is too much trouble. Why don't you tell me your goal and I will just achieve it. If you do that, I can't guarantee that I will succeed."

"If I tell you the purpose, you will definitely fail. And even if you fail, isn't that good? After all—"

"I've never seen you fail before."

"My failure is nothing unusual. Everyone fails sometimes. Besides, you think too highly of me. There are countless ordinary people like me, and there are also many people who are better than me."

"Haha, you are too modest. Tomorrow, I will tell you the information about this mission, but you can only use the information I provide you and are not allowed to investigate the school without permission."

"Your requirements are really demanding."

"I look forward to what you do."

"Then I wish you success in your commission. I won't send you off."

"What an impolite young man."

"Here, your bag." He threw the checked cross-body bag to me, and took out a cigarette from his suit pocket, lit it quietly, and exhaled a puff of thick smoke in front of me.

"The school's official website specifically states that a luggage inspection will be conducted before admission. If that's the case, why bother with that?" I took the backpack as if nothing had happened and held it in my hand.

"That's right. I don't completely trust you. I won't feel reassured unless I check it myself. And it seems like you didn't bring anything decent this time."

"Did I bring anything decent before?"

"You know it yourself."

"Then can I leave now?" I didn't intend to pay attention to this temptation. I just wanted to get away from him as soon as possible.

"Okay...wait, there's one thing I forgot to mention."

"What."

"Didn't I mention the class assignment to you before? Not long ago, I received a notice that you were transferred from Class D to Class B."

"............How long ago did it happen?"

"Hmm, let me think... maybe soon after the entrance exam."

“Is there any deeper meaning in this?”

"There's no deep meaning. It's just a temporary insertion of a new student. That's it."

Is the truth really as he said? If so, why didn't he just go to Class B? This means that there is a certain balance in the distribution of classes.

"I have nothing to add other than this." The man put out his cigarette butt and threw it casually on the ground, kicking it a few times.

"You'll be fined." I gave him a painless blow.

"I'll take care of it myself later. Finally, I wish you a safe journey."

"You should say this to yourself. After all, you are the one who caused this trouble. I am just the one who completed the task."

"How heartless! I even came all the way here to give you a ride."

You just wanted to check on me one last time.

Human beings are creatures that act for a purpose. No matter how small the action is, it is full of deeper meaning.

I ignored his last goodbye and left my residence.

Although the man did not allow me to personally investigate information about the school, he still explained the relevant aspects.

Tokyo Metropolitan Koukou Ikusei High School

A national high school located in Tokyo, Japan, famous for being equipped with the latest equipment and having a nearly 100% employment rate.

The system of this school is a little bit unique. No, it should be said that it is a system that no ordinary school can have.

【Study at Tokyo Metropolitan Koukou Ikusei High School for three consecutive years until graduation.】

I have heard of boarding high schools, but most of them require students to stay in school from Monday to Friday to study and go home to play games on weekends. I have never thought about this kind of boarding system where students cannot contact the outside world for three years. In addition, except for special circumstances, all external contact is prohibited, even if the object is family.

In short, I was going to stay there for three years, completely cut off from the outside world, like being in prison. I was not panicked by this, after all, I had been there for more than three years.

It's just a change of place.

In addition, this school only allows new students to bring items within the regulations.

There was nothing in my backpack except some necessary stationery, unimportant books, and a set of school uniforms required by the school.

There are no bedding, daily necessities, etc. It would be great if the school could provide these.

I walked to the bus stop. It was early in the morning and the bus I needed to take had not arrived yet. The surrounding area was also deserted. It was clearly spring, but the street was lifeless.

There was no sign of anyone around, but there were three cameras installed in the corners.

If there is a blind spot...it should be at this spot.

I pretended to be feeling bored and annoyed like an ordinary person when waiting for the bus, and paced back and forth in the blind spots and surveillance areas, while taking out the two objects hidden under my tongue.

They are a micro eavesdropping device and a micro monitor respectively.

Different from the 'mini' on the market, the miniature I am talking about is truly miniature, the size is not even as big as a little finger, no, not even as big as a fingernail.

I wiped it clean and taped it to the underside of the metal zipper on my messenger bag. I didn't think a school would let me use this, but it was good to have some precautions.

The man had almost started to doubt my identity based on his actions over the past year, which led to his actions against me just now. However, he was just suspicious, and he would never know the truth anyway. After all, the person who knew the truth...

"呲呲-"
