"Ahhhhhh! Someone's dead!"
"Class monitor, go find the teacher. Go find the teacher quickly. That's Bai Ling from our class."
No matter which school it is, witnessing a suicide with your own eyes, with red and white brain matter left on the ground, the impact is huge.
The commotion and chaos appeared almost at the same time. Ju Jingbai looked at several male classmates who broke through the teachers' encirclement and went on stage to check Bai Ling's body, and then looked at the female classmates who screamed and trembled as they called their class teacher, and there were more classmates who were stunned where they were.
"Xiaolong, didn't he tell you he was going to get some fresh air? Is this what you meant by "getting some fresh air"? Why weren't you keeping a close eye on him?"
"It's my fault, my fault. I noticed he wasn't feeling well a long time ago, but he always tried to comfort me. I thought he could get over it on his own, but I didn't expect him to be gone like this. I thought Bai Ling was too strong. I thought he could handle it this time, just like he did when his grades dropped so much."
"Brother Bai Ling shouldn't have left. If only I had paid more attention to him."
"You can't blame Xiaolong entirely. I'm also at fault. I shouldn't have told Brother Bailing about my grades yesterday."
Ju Jingbai watched as her deskmate grabbed Xiaolong by the collar and more than a dozen boys started fighting. While fighting, she regretted that she had paid too little attention to Bai Ling.
The crying sound rang out among the boys and spread wider and wider. Even the boys in the third year of high school in other classes showed regret and sadness.
Many girls had tears on their faces long before the boys started crying.
The entire small playground was immersed in a sea of regret, remorse and fear.
"Xiaobai, are you okay?" Xu Ge came over. Even though he was the idol of the whole school, it was not very effective for him to speak at this time.
Ju Jingbai couldn't help but raise his hand and grasp Xu Ge's sleeve. He felt a little relieved and said, "Boss, I passed the note to him during the exam yesterday."
"Yeah, I talked to him yesterday. Bai Ling and I were in the same dormitory." Xu Ge stood beside Ju Jingbai, quietly watching the people on the playground, and said, "His roommate told me some things about Bai Ling. Bai Ling was second in the grade from the time he first entered school until his senior year. He wasn't this fat back then. He was considered a handsome guy with average looks and a very easygoing personality. Despite so many regulations at school, he was willing to protect many students who weren't doing well in their studies. He voluntarily set up a research and development team to help his good friends solve problems. He helped many of his classmates who had psychological problems throughout their freshman and sophomore years. Many of those who are crying now have received his help."
"But after returning from the summer vacation of his sophomore year, Bai Ling suddenly gained a lot of weight. It seemed that his brain was not enough after all the muscle was piled up. The grades of the students he helped soared, while his own grades plummeted, gradually falling below the average score and becoming a student in the back row. The teachers who had been kind to him changed their attitudes one by one, and even some of the students he had helped began to look down on him." Xu Ge said, "I think he couldn't accept such a huge change, which is normal. He was able to endure it for so long and endure so much pain. It's really amazing."
Ju Jingbai nodded. After all, she didn't feel as deeply as Bai Ling's friends around her, so she quickly adjusted her mood.
At this time, many teachers also hurried over.
Ju Jingbai paid special attention to the tips of the teachers' shoes, and they were all normal.
"When you look at it again at night, you will find it is different." Xu Ge noticed and explained.
Ju Jingbai disagreed: "You ran out of the dormitory building at night?"
"No, it was in the morning. When Wang Yu and I went out this morning, it was still dark. After entering the teaching building, the teachers were piled up in the office. Wang Yu confirmed that their feet were abnormal." Xu Ge said.
Ju Jingbai saw their class teacher pick up the microphone placed on the stage for the mobilization meeting.
The head teacher changed into a slightly formal red blazer and skirt, and the necklace on her chest was also arranged very beautifully. She looked like she had dressed up carefully.
"Ahem, everyone, please don't panic. Return to your seats. The police are on their way. Bai Ling was my student. Although he was a poor student, I am deeply saddened by his death. He was so young and had a bright future." The head teacher narrated, "But..."
Suddenly, she took a steady look at the students below and revealed a strange smile. Even when she glanced at Ju Jingbai, her smile did not stop for a moment.
"Do you think you've done nothing wrong? You're a bunch of rubbish. Hua Shuoyang, Bai Ling got up early in the morning to give you extra lessons to improve your grades. You haven't forgotten, have you? Wang Lingling, when Bai Ling's grades were good, you often asked him for help. But when his grades dropped and he asked you for help, you ignored him. Weren't you the one who was openly mocking and secretly belittling him... So, everyone present here is responsible for Bai Ling's death. You're a bunch of scumbags who live for academic performance."
The group of students who had finally calmed down collapsed after hearing the class teacher's story.
The level of chaos was even greater than before the teacher arrived. Extreme denial and venting began to spread out from their class.
At that time, Bai Ling compiled study notes, and almost everyone had a copy.
But when Bai Ling was in trouble, did they help him? Not only did they not, but they also developed some small thoughts of gloating over his misfortune.
Yes, just like what the female teacher said, they are simply a bunch of scumbags who live in their academic performance.
The negative energy extended outward, making it difficult for all students to breathe.
"Boss, please lend me your scissors." Ju Jingbai gritted his teeth and said, suppressing the negative emotions in his heart.
"Oh, okay." Xu Ge casually took out two small scissors the size of a palm from his pocket and handed one to Ju Jingbai.
Ju Jingbai took it and threw it towards the head teacher's shoulder.
With a puff, the blood from the scissors spread along the clothes and blended with the color of the clothes.
The head teacher's wrinkled face was covered with a smile.
"Don't be in a hurry, throw slowly. I don't have much else, but I have a lot of scissors." Xu Ge handed another pair of scissors to Ju Jingbai.
Ju Jingbai frowned and threw it over, but the head teacher didn't dodge at all.
The next second, the scene on the playground froze, and the surroundings instantly became quiet without a sound.
A huge black and white vortex came towards him. Ju Jingbai grabbed Xu Ge's cufflinks and closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, Ju Jingbai looked at the fat figure in front of him and was stunned. Was that Bai Ling?
The number of days written on the blackboard was still sixteen, and the ceiling fan above her head was creaking. The scene was exactly the same as when she first entered the virtual world.
The teacher sitting on the podium was also Teacher Song.
“Take the exam seriously and don’t do any tricks…Everyone learn from Xu Ge. Look at how he keeps working on the questions after handing in his test paper. No wonder he always gets first place.” Even the way Teacher Song spoke was exactly the same as the day she first arrived.
After that, she helped Bai Ling cheat, and then the female teacher came over and asked Teacher Song to help her move things.
Everything was going exactly the same as the day she first arrived.
"Xiaobai, did you just get your memory? Or did you recall it after you recollected it?" As soon as Teacher Song left, the classroom became quiet. At this time, Wang Yu's voice seemed particularly clear.
Ju Jingbai quickly asked, "What happened after the replay? Weren't we still on the playground just now?"
"There's a strange energy in the school that's retracing everything, like reincarnation." Wang Yu sat in the same row as her, separated by her deskmate.
My deskmate listened to their conversation and looked at them in shock, his look almost saying, "Are you trying to kill yourself?"
"Let's talk after the exam." Ju Jingbai smiled and simply ended the conversation between the two.
Almost as soon as Ju Jingbai finished speaking, Teacher Song appeared at the classroom door.
"Stand up. What did you just say to others? You guys who are not good at studying just like to do some tricks, as if you can get into a key school if you do these tricks well." Teacher Song walked straight towards Wang Yu and knocked on Wang Yu's desk with the small wooden stick in his hand, making a banging sound.
"I didn't cheat." Wang Yu blurted out.
"If you say no, then no. Your score this time doesn't count." Teacher Song rolled up the test paper in front of Wang Yu, rolled it into a ball, and threw it to the ground.
Ju Jingbai looked at Wang Yu. Not only did Wang Yu not refute, but he seemed hurt by that distrustful look. His face flushed but he didn't say a word.
"I was your age, so how could I not understand your thoughts right now? There are no shortcuts to learning. Do you think you can get into a good university by taking all these roundabout ways?!" Teacher Song sneered, carrying his small wooden stick and preparing to leave. "And to those who just spoke to this student, don't think I didn't see you get away with it. You'll be exposed during the next test."
"Teacher, why don't you ask who talked to him?" Ju Jingbai couldn't help but stand up and said.
"I admit my mistake. It was wrong of us to talk in the exam room, but I don't agree with what you just said about cheating. I can guarantee that both of our papers are clean, because we haven't even had time to do a single question."
Ju Jingbai said as he walked to Wang Yu and picked up the test paper. As expected...
Wang Yu once said during dinner that he couldn't answer a single question during the exam. Because of this, he had been on leave from school and stayed at home.
When Teacher Song saw Ju Jingbai standing up, his eyes widened instantly. He first saw something incredible, took a step back, and muttered: "Impossible, how come you didn't disappear?" Song Qimeng's seat happened to be next to him. She heard Teacher Song's mumblings, and when she thought about what the monitor said in the morning, she frowned.
