41 It has no malicious intent

◎Just treat her as someone who has extremely high requirements for game completion◎

Li Mengyu and Yang Yi took the pen fairy props together.

Several people found the storage room where Ye Yin committed suicide and prepared everything. Zhao Xiangning asked with some concern: "Who among us should perform the ceremony? Or should we draw lots..."

Qi Qiuxue shook her head: "I'll do it."

"Zhang Xue," Zhao Xiangning responded, looking at her with a hint of worry in his eyes. "This game is dangerous anyway. If you don't play it right, you could get yourself into trouble. For the sake of fairness, let's draw lots."

"It's okay," Qi Qiuxue said firmly. As they were about to escape the dungeon, she didn't want to see anyone else die. Since she had to take the risk, she might as well do it herself. "It was my idea to conduct the spirit summoning game. Whoever proposed it gets to carry it out. As for whoever conducts the other ritual, you can draw lots."

"No need." After saying that, Li Yiqing and Su Wen said in unison, "I'll do it."

"?" Li Yiqing was immediately displeased when he heard this. Why was Su Wen everywhere? "Axue and I have known each other the longest, so it's only logical that I should accompany her."

"If something really happens, can you protect her?" Su Wen snorted coldly, "Compared to you, an unarmed person, at least I have a weapon in my hand."

Li Yiqing: "You!"

"Axue." She couldn't win over Su Wen, so she came back pitifully and begged Qi Qiuxue, "Let me do it. I'm willing to take the risk with you."

"I told you I will protect you." She tentatively grabbed Qi Qiuxue's hand and shook it gently.

Su Wen was obviously disgusted by her appearance and was about to say something.

"Alright." Qi Qiuxue sighed and stopped the two from arguing. She looked at Li Yiqing in front of her and said, "Ah Qing, come here."

"Okay." Li Yiqing nodded quickly and smiled at her with bright eyes.

Qi Qiuxue didn't leave Su Wen idle either: "Su Wen, I'm leaving it to you to protect us. If anything unfavorable happens during the ceremony, please be prepared to deal with it."

Su Wen nodded in response: "Okay."

"Let's begin." Qi Qiuxue said no more. She and Li Yiqing sat down together and carried out the ceremony according to the requirements of the Ouija board game.

"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, I am your past life, and you are my present life..."

They slowly opened their lips and chanted the spell over and over again. In fact, Qi Qiuxue was not sure whether she could really attract Ye Yin's soul, but now they had no other choice but to do this.

Once, twice, at first everything was normal, nothing happened, Qi Qiuxue and Li Yiqing looked at each other, did not give up, and continued to recite the spell again and again.

After who knows how many times, the pens in the hands of the two people suddenly moved slightly and began to move irregularly on the paper, drawing one circle after another.

Here it comes.

Qi Qiuxue held her breath and asked the first question tentatively: "Pen Fairy, are you a student of this school?"

After he finished speaking, the tip of the pen moved slowly, came to the place where the word "yes" was written, and gently drew a circle.

Qi Qiuxue asked again, "Pen Fairy, have you ever lived in dormitory 409?"

【yes. 】

Qi Qiuxue: "Do you know Luo Xiao?"

【yes. 】

Qi Qiuxue took a deep breath and asked the taboo question of the Pen Fairy game: "You are Ye Yin, right?"

Her question received no answer. After she finished speaking, the pencil moved quickly, scratching across the paper. The dim light above her head began to flicker, and the air flow around her seemed to speed up. In a trance, Qi Qiuxue heard crying coming from her ear.

This scene lasted for about ten seconds, and then everything suddenly became quiet and silent.

Qi Qiuxue looked up at Li Yiqing in front of her, and also at the other players. She saw fear and panic in their eyes. Li Yiqing's voice was trembling as he called her name, "A-Axue...behind you..."

Suddenly, a cold hand rested on Qi Qiuxue's shoulder.

She noticed that Su Wen was drawing his sword, and also heard a voice ringing in her ear.

The voice asked her: "Zhang Xue, why are you here?"

Qi Qiuxue shook her head, signaling Su Wen not to act rashly for the time being. She tentatively led the person behind her to reveal their identity: "I'm here to find you, Ye Yin."

"What are you looking for me for?!" the voice said.

She used "I".

Qi Qiuxue immediately recognized her identity. It was indeed Ye Yin, but before she could say anything, she felt the cold hand on her shoulder move to her neck.

Ye Yin was in a very bad state. Even though he was dead, he still couldn't escape the pain and torture he had endured in life: "Did Lin Yan and the others call you here? What exactly do you want to do?!"

"No." Qi Qiuxue remained motionless and answered Ye Yin's question calmly, "I came to see you of my own accord."

"Besides, have you forgotten that Lin Yan and the others are already dead?"

"Dead..." Ye Yin behind him was stunned for a moment. Ever since her death, she has been in a daze, and her soul has been wandering in the gymnasium without leaving.

She had forgotten many things until Qi Qiuxue reminded her, and then she finally remembered: "Yes, that's right, Lin Yan and the others are dead. I set the fire and killed them. I can't stand this inhuman torture anymore."

She laughed heartily, as if she had finally felt the joy of revenge, but at the same time tears were like beads that had broken off the string, sliding down the corners of her eyes.

She was in pain, desperate and miserable, and Qi Qiuxue knew it.

A kind-hearted person should not have to endure this. The long-term torture made her fearful and desperate, and also made her hate and despair all those who bullied her. Maybe she was indeed happy after killing Lin Yan, but after the joy, all that was left was more torture.

She could have lived a good life, had many friends, and lived a peaceful and stable life, but because of bullying, because of the teacher's disregard, and because of the lack of understanding from her parents, she chose an extreme way out of despair, ending the life of the bully and her own life.

Qi Qiuxue shook her head gently: "No one will bully you anymore."

Ye Yin was obviously suspicious of her: "Then why did you come to see me?"

"I haven't hurt you. I only killed those who have been bullying me. Why are you looking for me? Do you want to avenge them?" Under long-term repression, she was extremely defensive. Ye Yin's hands were shaking, but in order to protect herself, she gradually tightened her strength.

Under her control, Qi Qiuxue's face turned pale and she began to feel shortness of breath. She heard Ye Yin crying in her ear over and over again: "I have nothing left, nothing left. What on earth do you want from me? Why don't you let me go!"

"No." Qi Qiuxue struggled to squeeze the words out of her throat. Even though she was already in deep danger, she still used her eyes to signal others not to act rashly. "I just, ahem... I just wanted to show you something."

"You don't have nothing," Qi Qiuxue said. "You still have friends who love you and are always, ahem... running around for you."

"Friend?" Ye Yin's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he subconsciously loosened his grip, allowing Qi Qiuxue to finally catch her breath. "You mean Luo Xiao?!"

"Yes." Qi Qiuxue took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down as quickly as possible.

Then she took out the paper covered with names and handprints from her pocket and gestured to Ye Yin to see: "Look at this, Luo Xiao collected them one by one for you."

"A list against school bullying." She softly read the title on the paper. "Luo Xiao has written down in detail every instance of bullying and unfair treatment you've suffered. She guarantees with her life that everything written here truly happened, without a single falsehood."

"I'm sorry, I accidentally read your diary," Qi Qiuxue said. "When you were still friends, Luo Xiao encouraged you to tell everything you'd experienced and seek help from teachers and leaders. With her by your side, you did so, but it had little effect and you didn't get any help. The teachers and school leaders were wary of Lin Yan and her friends' backgrounds, and bribed by the high-value bank cards, they chose to remain silent. They whitewashed this serious bullying incident as a joke and a prank between classmates."

"So Lin Yan and the others started to intensify their bullying, not only bullying you more recklessly, but even bullying your friends. To save Luo Xiao from this endless suffering, you deliberately quarreled with her, using the most unpleasant words to push her away and tell her to stay away from you."

"Luo Xiao was indeed heartbroken at that time, but even after that, she still didn't give up her fight for you. Since she couldn't ask the teachers and school leaders for help, she turned to others, reporting to more powerful departments. In order to convince them that this was not just a joke and to get them to take this bullying incident seriously, she quietly began to collect signatures from her classmates."

Qi Qiuxue's tone was filled with regret and unwillingness: "She had collected the names and handprints of more than thirty people, and she was just one step away from having them all. But at this moment, she lost her best friend forever."

"Is everything you said true? You didn't lie to me?" Ye Yin burst into tears before she could say anything. She choked up and picked up the piece of paper and looked at it over and over again. There was indeed everyone's handwriting on it, and Luo Xiao's name was the first one. Every stroke was written carefully and powerfully.

She didn't know how much effort and conversation Luo Xiao had put into preparing all this. Lin Yan and her classmates came from wealthy families and had always been the most difficult to deal with in the class. Ye Yin couldn't imagine how Luo Xiao had persuaded his classmates to sign. He must have encountered many setbacks and experienced many failures.

It turns out that her friends never gave up on her, and it turns out that she is not left with nothing.

Ye Yin shook her head and held the paper in her arms. The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally burst out at this moment, and she cried loudly like a wounded child.

"Let's leave here." Qi Qiuxue said sincerely, "Let me go too, okay?"

"May school bullying disappear completely one day. May you live a happy and fulfilling life without regrets in your next life."

Ye Yin didn't say anything, still holding the piece of paper in her arms, but Qi Qiuxue could feel that the resentment around her was beginning to fade.

Her figure gradually became transparent, slowly disappearing from everyone's sight, and eventually turned into clusters of bright light, finally leaving this gymnasium that carried resentment and pain.

Qi Qiuxue looked in the direction where she disappeared. There was a small cat pendant lying there. Ye Yin had mentioned in her diary that it was a pendant she and Luo Xiao bought together. Hers was a kitten, and Luo Xiao's was a puppy.

Qi Qiuxue picked up the pendant and looked down for a long time. The system prompt panel finally popped up at this moment, congratulating all players for completing the task. Without the resentment that had been shrouding the school, the school gate could be opened smoothly. Everyone just had to walk out of the school gate to return to the real world.

This time, everyone received an A-level evaluation, and except for Qi Qiuxue, everyone received a prop that could be used at a critical moment.

Only Qi Qiuxue got weapons instead of props.

It was a knife, a small but very handy bone knife.

"Great." Finally able to return to the real world, everyone cheered and said goodbye to each of their companions with excitement and sadness.

Su Wen once again invited Qi Qiuxue, hoping that she would consider joining his guild again.

"Let's talk about it later." Qi Qiuxue didn't rush to agree, but she didn't refute it completely either. "I'll think about it."

"Okay." Su Wen said nothing else. She walked out of the school gate with Li Mengyu, Zhao Xiangning, Yang Yi and others, looking back and saying goodbye solemnly, "Goodbye."

"Goodbye." Qi Qiuxue said, but was not in a hurry to leave.

So Li Yiqing didn't leave either. She heard Qi Qiuxue communicating with the system to ask if she could leave later.

System: [This instance has ended. What else do you want to do?]

"Let's go to Luo Xiao's house." Qi Qiuxue stared at the pendant in her hand. Even though she knew that everything in the copy was just a fictional game, she inexplicably felt real and wanted to completely resolve all regrets.

Just think of her as someone who has extremely high requirements for game completion and is willing to complete the game only after collecting all the achievements.

The system was silent for a moment, then finally agreed to her request: [Okay, then tell me when you want to leave.]

"Thank you." Qi Qiuxue said.

"Ah Qing." Then she looked at Li Yiqing beside her, "You go first."

"No." Li Yiqing shook his head paranoidly, "I want to stay with you. I said I would protect Axue."

"Okay." Qi Qiuxue smiled and accepted her kindness. The two of them walked out of the school gate together, intending to take a bus along the route given by the system to find Luo Xiao.

But it was quiet outside the door, with no pedestrians or vehicles.

Just a giant skeleton.

The skeleton did not speak, nor did it make any move that would hurt the two. Instead, it slowly bent down and saluted them, then tentatively extended its hand in the direction of Qi Qiuxue.

"Do you want to take us there?" Qi Qiuxue noticed that it seemed to have no ill intentions.

After he finished speaking, the skeleton in front of him nodded slightly.
