Chapter 100 "Nangong Qi." A cold voice
"Nangong Qi." A cold voice pulled Nangong Qi back to reality.
She turned around stiffly and saw Hu Ji not far from her.
It wasn't until she actually stopped that he realized she really was his classmate, but from the next class, I think her name was Wang Meili.
After looking Nangong Qi up and down for a while, he nodded in satisfaction. Now Nangong Qi finally looked like a student, full of energy.
"You've come to the real world too! Is it because of me?!" Nangong Qi exclaimed in shock.
Hongji gave Nangong Qi a strange look. "Why do you feel like this is your world?"
“Isn’t that right?” Nangong Qi stiffened even more.
"Do you think it's true?" Hu Ji asked rhetorically.
"Of course it's true!" My mother's greeting this morning, and the breakfast I'm almost tired of eating, both prove that it's absolutely true.
“It’s normal for you to think it’s real. This world has evolved countless times, so it’s normal for you to think it’s real.” Hongji tilted his head.
"What do you mean? I don't understand, this world was generated based on my memories!" Nangong Qi was about to collapse.
"Of course not what you're thinking. I'm asking you, did you even notice the time?"
"Time?" Nangong Qi looked at her phone. "When I time-traveled, it was almost time for the college entrance exam, which was June 2nd, 2XX9..."
The time displayed on the phone was April 2, 2XX8, more than a year ago, which was unusual, and Nangong Qi accepted her fate.
But it would be a lie to say she wasn't disappointed. What finally gave her the courage to climb out was going home, which led her into another cycle.
"Alright, stop thinking about it." Hongji interrupted, noticing her disappointment. "I have some things I need you to confirm later."
"Okay..." Nangong Qi replied weakly. It was obviously difficult for her to question Hongji. She didn't have the courage to ask if the higher-ups had arranged for her to be left there, so that they could lure those monsters there.
But some things are true: it was because of her that those monsters entered this world, and it was because of her that the system had the opportunity to exploit them, so she didn't feel she had anything to complain about.
"You should go to school as usual for now," said Hu Ji.
"Huh?!" Why does she have to go to school here?! It's not real!
"Go ahead, this isn't 'your world.' Don't let anyone notice anything amiss."
“Okay.” Nangong Qi didn’t waste any more words or ask any more questions. During this time, she learned a lesson: when you’re with a smart person, as long as you’re sure they don’t have any intention of harming you, you just need to listen to them.
She might not understand the explanation given, let alone the fact that the other party might not even want to tell her at all.
She obediently went to school, and walking along the familiar road filled her with emotion. She slowly made her way to her school.
After arriving, she sat down in her seat. It was still early before class, but not many people greeted her, which was normal. "She is not a particularly outstanding person" was a euphemism.
During another exam, she was falsely accused of cheating. Even though she repeatedly insisted that she hadn't, no one believed that she could get such a good score.
The teacher forced her to admit to cheating, but she resolutely refused. In the end, the teacher had no choice but to say a few sarcastic remarks to the whole class, telling them not to play with "people like her." This was like a royal decree to the students, a sign that she was being isolated.
So for three whole years of her school life, she didn't communicate with anyone and always kept to herself, even her seat was placed in the very corner.
The dissatisfaction with real life made her subconsciously start to escape reality. She began to seek solace in the virtual world, especially the world of novels. The long hours spent looking down, almost covering her eyes with her hair, coupled with anxiety, caused her face to break out in a dense layer of acne.
Whenever she felt lonely, she would immerse herself in novels and comfort herself by telling herself that it wasn't that no one cared about her, but that she ignored everyone else.
The other students in the class were also a little surprised, wondering why none of the students who usually started reading novels as soon as they arrived were here today. But no one asked them anything; everyone was doing their own thing.
At the same time, Nangong Qi began to think about what special things had happened during this period.
Class started and the homeroom teacher came in. "Last time, your average score was a full 10 points behind the class next door! I don't even want to mention those few students who dragged the class down! When I call your name, come up and pick up your papers! XXX59!" She read a paper and threw it on the ground.
"Wang Meili! 35!" The homeroom teacher glanced at the test paper with disdain, then crumpled it into a ball. "Some students are hopeless and don't need to study anymore!" Then she threw it directly into the trash can in the back row, but didn't even throw it away.
Nangong Qi was too lazy to pick them up, her mind was racing as she suddenly remembered! But a major event had indeed occurred at the school, and everyone was under a gag order, which left her with some recollection of the incident.
At that time, someone from the next class went missing! She didn't remember who it was, and because that classmate went missing, the class monitor of the next class went crazy and was sent to a mental hospital.
He slammed his hand on the desk in class, stood up, then realized what he'd done and sat back down. Since class is still in session, it's best not to alert him.
The students in the other classes were all startled, thinking that the homeroom teacher's actions had gone too far and made her too angry.
Seeing that she didn't do anything else or say anything, the homeroom teacher started the lesson.
Nangong Qi was somewhat restless, frequently glancing at the time.
Soon it was time for get out of class to end, and most students would take advantage of these ten minutes to go to the corridor for some fresh air. She was one of the few who went out too. Once outside, her eyes kept glancing at the next room, but she was paying more attention to the class monitor inside.
She still had some impression of that class monitor, because the class monitor was good-looking and she had just learned the name of the person from the ranking list—Yi Sheng.
Unfortunately, I didn't see it until suddenly someone was lying down next to her.
Nangong Qi paused and subconsciously felt a little uncomfortable, wanting to change seats.
But then the other person spoke up, "Are you Wang Meili from the class next door?"
Nangong Qi had some doubts. Did she know the other person? Could it be someone she knew before she transmigrated?
Then she looked at the other person and noticed that her hair was too long and covered her eyes, making her look somewhat gloomy. Her thin and slender figure looked like she had been malnourished for a long time, and her skin was very white, which was somewhat abnormal.
Hello, I wonder if you remember me?
"Huh? I don't remember." Nangong Qi was a little incredulous. Her mind started to wander. Was she here to confess her feelings? No way, this situation...
I do know that some people, because they feel isolated, will seek out "like-minded" people to date and huddle together for warmth. It can't be said that they like them, it's just that they are too lonely, and then they become even more disliked by their teachers.
So she answered bluntly, saying she didn't think she would develop any romance here.
"Really? I thought you would remember me. My name is Ye Shuoyan—" Nangong Qi was initially somewhat dismissive, but the next sentence made her eyes widen. "I will disappear in a few days."
The memories, which had been covered in a layer of dust, were suddenly wiped clean, making her remember! The person who went missing back then was named Ye Shuoyan!
This statement doesn't make any sense! How would he know what would happen a few days later? Is his situation the same as hers? Would "she" disappear?
Nangong Qi was a little excited, not expecting to find a clue so quickly. Before she could ask anything, the bell rang and the person disappeared.
Even though Nangong Qi was somewhat unwilling, she had no choice but to go back to class.
As soon as get out of class ended, she went straight to the coffee shop where she had arranged to meet Hongji. When she entered, besides Hongji, there was another person who surprised her: Ye Shuoyan, who had said some strange things earlier that day.
He was obediently drinking a glass of warm water, sitting next to Hongji, and was inexplicably well-behaved.
Does Hōjū already know what happened? How did he find the person involved so quickly?
“You’re here—have a seat.” Hu Ji gestured for her to sit opposite him, while he and Ye Shuoyan sat on one side.
I exclaimed that this world is so convenient, so much more convenient than another world where there are no cell phones.
"Let me introduce you to this man named Ye Shuoyan. Your task is to find out exactly how he disappeared," Hu Ji explained.
"Huh?" Nangong Qi asked, puzzled. "But I'm just an ordinary person in this world. I don't have any special abilities."
"You don't need to do anything, you just need to know the 'truth'." As for saving people, that's not something he needs to worry about.
Nangong Qi discovered that this world was like a fish in water for Hongji; he adapted to it perfectly and could even conjure up money!
Nangong Qi was shocked; she wanted that ability too!
Hu Ji chuckled and flicked Nangong Qi's forehead. "Special times call for special measures. Don't even think about doing anything illegal, understand? Didn't you notice when you were reading the novel that I actually came from this era?"
Nangong Qi recalled for a moment and belatedly realized that she had indeed mentioned that Huiji had been imprisoned in the radiation zone during peacetime until he was rescued by Aji.
But who would notice this detail? But that peaceful era in the world is just in the novel. Oh, no, since the author is from this world, the setting must have been based on this world, so all of this is only natural.
Nangong Qi began to convince herself.
Then he started enjoying his big villa, made a phone call to his parents, and followed Ye Shuoyan without any hesitation.
Suddenly a figure appeared. "Ye Shuoyan! Why are you hiding from me? Can I go to your house with you today?" Nangong Qi looked closely and saw that it was the class monitor—Yi Sheng?
Why is it him? What's he doing here?
Unexpectedly, Ye Shuoyan, who had always seemed well-behaved, didn't give him a friendly look. "I don't need your help. You're not welcome."
Nangong Qi noticed that even though Ye Shuoyan's attitude was so bad, Yi Sheng didn't mind at all. Instead, he kept coaxing her. This attitude seemed more like—guilt? So that's why he didn't care about these little things?
