Chapter 055 Council
The barrage was completely shocked when the truth was finally revealed.
On the surface, Rong Qing is gentle and kind to others, but in fact he is a complete antisocial personality. He promoted the school system and felt happy about it. On the surface, he is the student council president who leads humans to fight against the ghost camp, but in fact he is the most evil ghost.
This is his playground.
Rong Qing smiled slightly: "Finally, there is nothing that can hinder us on campus nowadays."
Rong Le stood still, countless thoughts flashing through her mind in a very short time: "The top floor of the library is the activity room of the Council, but that's all. Why is this place so special?"
"Rong Qing established a student union instead of following the council system, and even changed the office location. Does this also mean that there are still some secrets there that cannot be controlled?"
"The key to the top floor is not in the student council president's office, but in the drawer of the principal's office..."
Rong Qing extended her hand again to invite him, and said softly, "Rongrong, come to my side and be obedient."
The rain outside had begun to subside. As soon as Rong Le walked out of the library door, she was soaked. Raindrops kept dripping down her hair. Her eyes were stained with water vapor and looked particularly cold. The tiny crystal water droplets on her eyelashes swayed with her movements.
Rong Le slowly walked to Rong Qing and stood in the rain, only two steps away from him.
The beautiful ghost coaxed him softly, "We will be together forever."
"Really? But I don't think so."
Rong Le moved decisively and put the gun against Rong Qing's forehead.
There was a slight agitation among the ghosts, and Rong Qing raised his hand to stop them.
He raised his hand with a smile, and jokingly stretched out his thumb and index finger, gently touching Rong Le's forehead.
It was as if he was just playing a game with his naughty younger brother, and as an older brother he would always indulge his behavior.
Rong Qing: "Are you angry with your brother? Angry that I abandoned you."
Rong Le said sarcastically, "Let's stop playing house. Is it fun to pretend to be a good brother? Although you pretend well, I don't believe that ghosts have much emotion."
Rong Qing: "This alone can't kill me. I just want to take you away."
Rong Le said in a light tone: "Your thoughts are not important, brother. If you really value my words as much as you say, then fulfill your promise. Remember you owed me a request? Now I want to use it."
Rong Le said calmly: "I want you to leave here immediately."
Rong Qing was silent for a long time, then put down his hand: "You will regret this, Rongrong."
He stared at him deeply, then turned and left, surrounded by ghosts.
Rong Qing is gone, but this is temporary.
Maybe tomorrow, or maybe in a few hours, they will meet again. By then, Rong Le will have to face the fact that there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and he will have no way out.
The two brothers gradually drifted apart.
Rong Le put the gun that Bai Yue had stuffed into his hand back to his waist. He recalled the way Rong Qing had pointed his hand at him jokingly, as if he was really playing house with him, with a doting look that didn't suit him, and he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.
No matter what Rong Qing's purpose was in doing this, he would never change his attitude towards him.
Anyone can betray in this world, all vows and promises will be erased with time, whether it is family or friends, all feelings are ultimately meaningless, so he never establishes any emotional connection with anyone.
Rong Le turned around and walked towards the library without hesitation.
He has always had only one purpose.
[You have obtained your personal CG——]
On a rainy night, the black-haired, green-eyed brothers pulled guns on each other.
The boy on the right with slightly long hair has a stern expression, delicate green eyes like an icy lake, and the gun in his hand has an icy cold light. The boy on the left has a similar face, but he smiles lightly and jokingly makes the same gesture with his hands.
It is an entanglement that can never be severed, and it is twins entangled by countless red threads of fate.
Rongqing TE Line Rainy Night Confrontation
…
Rong Le went up to the top floor, but there was no one there. He calmed down and looked around the top floor, and came to the same conclusion as Baiyue and the others.
Baiyue and the others should have been teleported away by the mysterious power here, and we need to ride on it to find out where they will be teleported to.
Rong Le seemed to be lost in thought: "It seems that I have to ride on it to find them. The place I teleport to will be the key to breaking the deadlock?"
He simply pulled out a chair and sat down on it. The next moment, his figure disappeared on the top floor.
The feeling of teleportation was dizzying and the perception was completely blurred. When Rong Le could see the surrounding scene clearly again, his pupils suddenly contracted and there was some surprise in his green eyes.
He actually returned to the time point when he loaded the module.
For a moment, Rong Le even thought that he had triggered a time-space reversal, but he did not hear the system's prompt sound.
He looked around the room. It was still the student union president's office, but the decoration inside was a little different. The books on the wall were mostly professional books in English, French, etc., and there were also many management files.
Rong Le's eyes swept across the desk, but didn't get any useful information from it.
At this moment, there was a noise at the door, and a boy with black hair and black eyes walked in. He had a familiar demeanor, a gentle and polite expression, and the demeanor of a host. "You must be the transfer student, right? Sorry for the long wait. I was just dealing with something."
Rong Le curled her lips slightly, her expression perfectly managed, and replied politely, "No, it hasn't been long."
The boy was wearing Qiu Hai's school uniform, except for a red armband on his upper left arm with the words "Student Union" on it.
He sat behind his desk, folded his hands, and smiled as he got to the point: "Let me introduce myself first. I'm Yang Fan, the student union president here. On behalf of Qiu Hai, I'd like to welcome you as a transfer student here."
The young man possessed the calm charm of a leader, and his slow tone of voice made people feel convinced:
"When I heard that you transferred here, I was actually a little surprised because I was very impressed by your brother."
Rong Le showed an expression of interest just right.
Yang Fan: "Besides the enrollment process, I'm meeting with you today for another reason. Rong Le, I hope you can join the Student Union. I believe that with your brilliance, you will definitely stand out among the students, and the Council needs talents like you."
Rong Le has completely understood. The world before him is the real world, and the process of his entering the module seems to be no different. The only difference is that this time the timeline of his arrival in Qiuhai has been moved forward, and he has become a first-year transfer student.
He is now at the time point that Rong Qing mentioned earlier!
Rong Le's heart couldn't help but beat slightly. He knew what this situation meant. He was no longer under Rong Qing's control. Qiu Hai's power had not yet been reshuffled. Everything still had opportunities to take advantage of.
And now he is faced with a crucial decision.
Rong Le: "I just transferred here and don't know much about this place. I hope to learn more about the school before making a decision."
Yang Fan: "I understand. I've seen your admission transcript. It's very impressive. The student union welcomes you anytime."
If he guessed correctly, Yang Fan's actions might not simply be to attract outstanding members, but also to compete with certain people.
And that person's identity is self-evident.
Rong Le quickly got into the state. It was completely unnoticeable that he had not had much time to rest since the battle royale began. He had been tense and maintained a high-intensity working state, traveling to various regions, experiencing fighting and intrigue, saying goodbye to acquaintances who still had some good feelings for him, and constantly experiencing the process of loss.
Just a few minutes ago he was caught in the rain and confronted Rong Qing and a group of ghosts.
As the student union president, Yang Fan had a lot of things to deal with. Due to the special status of this transfer student, he came to receive him in person.
The original purpose was not simple, but after in-depth communication, I found that Rong Le was indeed an excellent talent.
All of this was the feeling created by Rong Le. He knew how to behave in a way that would attract the other person's attention. He was excellent and smart, with a nonchalant attitude of control, which was exactly what some people appreciated the most.
For a moment the conversation became quite enjoyable.
Yang Fan glanced at the wall clock and said regretfully, "I'll take you to class. It's time for class now."
It was the same corridor, but the person leading Rong Le was different.
On the way to the classroom, Rong Le and Yang Fan started discussing the situation, as they were already shocked by this development:
"Oh my goodness, time travel?!"
"No, the death condition has not been triggered?"
"The current situation is exactly the same as what Rong Qing said in the rain. It's reasonable to guess that this is the time when the Council still existed and Rong Qing hadn't yet become the Student Council President."
"This inference is quite reliable, but the original intelligence pointed directly to the top floor of the library, and there is such an alien space on the top floor. Could it be that this place has an impact on the original time?"
"That scene in the rain really got me hooked. Can I say that Gemini is really sweet? The sight of the evil yet gentle older brother and the innocent yet cruel younger brother killing each other really made my XP go crazy!"
"Put on some pants upstairs."
"I'm not going to think about it anymore. The boss has definitely thought about it more than me. I'm just waiting for the shouting 666."
"Although that's true, I'm afraid he'll be hurt."
"Yes, Rong Le is not indestructible. When he encounters problems, he will try his best to save the situation and live up to everyone's expectations. He carries everything and bears all the pressure, but who can save him?"
The comments in the barrage did not cause any waves in reality. Rong Le followed Yang Fan obediently, playing an outstanding and well-controlled role.
He stood in front of the classroom door and looked up at the doorplate above.
Class A, Grade 1.
Yang Fan knocked gently on the door, and the sound of the lecture inside stopped. He pushed the door open and politely curled his lips towards the classroom: "Excuse me everyone, there is a transfer student in Class A."
There was a slight discussion in the classroom. Rong Le followed behind him, raised her eyes slightly and looked towards the classroom. She saw a familiar figure among the students at a glance.
Zhan Mingyue, Chang Shan, and Rong Qing.
…
The appearance of the transfer student has added a new topic to Class A of Grade 1.
When Rong Le sat in the empty seat next to Rong Qing, this curiosity reached its peak. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the relationship between Rong Le and Rong Qing. Their extremely similar yet very different appearances made them particularly eye-catching.
"Twins? No, they seem a little different, so they're brothers?"
"Curious? Then go ask."
The girls in the class whispered excitedly.
Rong Le looked at Rong Qing beside him and said softly, "Brother."
Rong Qing withdrew his gaze from the window, looked at him with a little surprise, and said "hmm" lightly.
Rong Le lowered her eyes and looked at the teaching materials pushed over from the side. Although it was an act of sharing, Rong Qing still looked a little unfamiliar when doing it.
Yes, they shouldn't have been so familiar with each other.
Rather, it is Rong Qing's inexplicable liking for him that is even more bizarre.
Rong Le supported his chin slightly, and looked at the book casually with his green eyes. When he noticed a pair of eyes looking at him not far away, he raised his eyes and looked over.
The black-haired girl showed a frightened expression.
Rong Le smiled at her, and Zhan Mingyue immediately turned her head to look at the blackboard attentively, but her tense body showed that she was not acting so naturally.
Not long after, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.
As soon as the teacher left the classroom from the podium, the classroom suddenly became noisy. Rong Le's seat was surrounded by many people. This time he did not sit on the inside, but on the outside, and his seat was reversed with Rong Qing.
Rong Le was surrounded by classmates who were curious about him. He looked up and talked to them with a gentle smile, while observing Rong Qing out of the corner of his eye.
Rong Qing looked no different, like an outsider in the class. He packed up his books silently, and was as quiet as he was in class, occasionally staring out the window.
This was the first time I saw the unwelcome Rong Qing.
Rong Le thought about what Rong Qing had said to him, and guessed that Rong Qing was currently at the lowest point in his life, having rejected the invitation from the Council of Review.
Seeing Rong Qing getting ready to leave, a boy with a bright smile next to him said bluntly, "That ghost, buy us some water."
"I want to drink that tea." A girl said.
Everyone said what they wanted to drink in turn. Someone said, "Mingyue, aren't you thirsty? What do you want to drink?"
Zhan Mingyue, who had been sitting in his seat, looked at them and hesitated before saying, "I... I won't use it for now."
The girl patted the boy and said with a smile, "I have Chang Shan, why do you care so much?"
The boy scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.
The barrage was greatly shocked:
"Is this considered school bullying?!"
"Why do all of them look so indifferent? Is this school cultivating elites or demons?"
"If that's why Rongqing decided to reform, then I can understand."
During this period, Rong Qing maintained his original posture, looking down at the table, not knowing what he was thinking, and pursed his lips slightly without moving.
The handsome boy with a sunny smile patted Rong Le's shoulder and said, "Want something to drink? There are many kinds of drinks in the vending machines on campus. I'll treat you."
Rong Le: "No, I'm not thirsty."
The boy tilted his head and thought for a moment, then told Rong Qing, "Two bottles of juice."
Rong Qing walked past Rong Le.
Rong Le: “…”
The boy who treated everyone to a meal was called Mingcheng. He was the leader of the group during the conversation. It was obvious that in this circle of students who all came from privileged families, he had the strongest background.
He does indeed behave like a playboy, seemingly easy-going but also a little oppressive.
Seeing Rong Le feeling uncomfortable, he drove the others away, sat on the chair in the front row, put his hands on the back of the chair, and stared at him with his head tilted: "What's wrong, are you not used to it?"
Rong Le said tactfully: "I am indeed a little surprised."
Ming Cheng smiled, his white teeth easily attracting people's favor. "It's okay, this is Qiu Hai's unique system. It will be fine after a while. Has the president told you about these things?"
Rong Le lowered her eyes slightly: "I did mention it a little bit. He told me that points determine everything here. If you resist the system, you will be judged."
Ming Cheng said with a harmless smile: "That's right. Did he tell you that the Council is the controller of the rules?"
"Although you can earn a lot of points for good academic performance, if you offend the Council, they have a hundred ways to make you the lowest class in this school, a 'ghost' who doesn't even have human rights."
Rong Le's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Ming Cheng restrained his tone and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, you won't become like this. Although Rong Qing is your brother, don't let him deceive you."
His tone was filled with casual cruelty. "That guy actually tried to challenge the authority of the Council. If he wasn't the top student in the grade and the class needed someone like him to relieve pressure, they would have banished him to Class D, where low-level creatures gather."
“…”
Rong Le didn't know how to describe her mood at this moment.
The system of Qiu Hai College simply went from one extreme to another, and it all seemed so disgusting to him.
It was hard to tell whether Mingcheng's voice was a joke or a complaint: "Speaking of which, exams are coming up at the end of the month. None of these losers in the class scored higher than Rongqing. It's really disappointing. How are your grades?"
Rong Le: "It's okay."
Being able to transfer to Class A means that your strength is at least at the level of Class A. Ming Cheng was not disappointed, but said cheerfully: "Then I'll wait and see your performance. By the way, do you have any special skills?"
Rong Le: "Chess."
Chang Shan couldn't help but look back when he heard his answer. Ming Cheng said with a smile but without question, "How about trying tennis?"
Ming Cheng's purpose of persuading and winning over others was obvious. Rong Le lowered her eyes in embarrassment, appearing a little hesitant: "...Okay."
Mingcheng smiled.
Rong Qing came back quickly after buying some water, put several bottles of water in his arms on the table, and then turned and left with an expressionless face.
Seeing this, Ming Cheng leaned over affectionately and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, I will teach you."
The warm breath brushed past Rong Le's ears, carrying with it the subtle but unignorable aggression of a young boy. When he raised his head, he had already turned around and returned to his seat.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but Rong Le was still assigned to the same dormitory as Rong Qing.
After class, Rong Le followed Rong Qing to the dormitory. The two did not communicate along the way and were very silent.
Rong Le's luggage had been put into the dormitory. He opened the suitcase, found the photo frame, and placed it steadily on the bedside.
Rong Qing stood by and watched him pack his luggage. She accidentally glanced at the photo and paused for a moment: "You brought this too?"
Rong Le looked up, his expression completely clear, as if the previous experience in the classroom had not affected him at all: "Because it's a photo with my brother."
Rong Qing lowered her eyes and glanced at him, then glanced away without talking about this topic anymore: “What do you want to eat? I’ll go to the cafeteria to buy it for you.”
The direction was exactly the same, but Rong Le hesitated for a moment: "I'll be done packing soon. I'll go with you. It's a good opportunity to get to know the way to the cafeteria."
Rong Qing said in a declarative tone, "It doesn't matter. You probably won't have the chance to go to the cafeteria anyway. You're with Mingcheng and the others, so you don't need to worry about these trivial matters."
He gave a mocking smile: "I run errands for them, and you can do the same. You can use me too."
“…”
Seeing Rong Le stunned, with a pair of green cat eyes full of confusion, Rong Qing couldn't help but sigh, put away his sharp tone, and said in a calm tone: "I'll go get you some food."
The dormitory door was closed and Rong Le put down the clothes in her hands.
He found that although Rong Qing looked the same, it seemed as if everything had changed.
"Can the change in a person be so great?"
Rong Le's expression gradually became calmer, and she shed her disguise. "It's not just Rong Qing who's changed. I haven't seen Bai Yue and the others all day. They should still be on this campus."
"The tables and chairs of the Council on the top floor are the key to everything. If we want to break this situation, we must get close to the Council and Rong Qing."
After he appeared in Yang Fan's office, the main task 1 was completed.
[Main Quest 1-1: Go to the principal's office in the administration building to find the key to the library and open the sealed door. Completed.]
Then came the release of Main Mission 2.
[Main Quest 1-2: Whoever obtains the statue will become God's spokesperson.]
In Rong Le's understanding, the so-called statue refers to the huge statue located on the avenue between the teaching building and the gate.
But obviously the statue referred to in the mission was not that one.
The Senate brings God's power to campus.
Rong Le recalled what Rong Qing had said.
Considering the latter sentence, the statue may be a smaller version of the statue. Whoever can obtain it will have the power to control the large statue outside.
And apparently the idol is in the hands of the Council.
The most urgent thing is that he needs to figure out Qiuhai's current situation first to avoid irreversible danger. On the other hand, he also needs to find Baiyue and the others. The disappearance of his teammates makes him a little uneasy.
The situation is unclear now. I can only learn about the school through Mingcheng and others, and gradually get in touch with the Council of Advocates.
According to the timeline, Rong Qing will still become the new student union president.
And if they wait until that point, they will not be able to compete with Rong Qing.
Today Yang Fan extended an olive branch to him. No matter what his purpose was, Rong Le had no intention of accepting the invitation with unclear purpose.
He intended to obey Yang Fan's will and move closer to the Council, but not in this way.
…
The entire top floor is the activity room of the Council, and only members of the Council can stay here.
They control the students of this school. Each of the families behind them is well-known in the outside world, and their children, in order to gain benefits, turn their attention to the rising stars in the school.
"I heard that the president personally went to receive a transfer student. I'm curious about what attracted you to him." The girl sat gracefully in her seat at the round table, covering her lips with her hands and laughing softly.
The twins, who looked similar, said, "We're curious too."
Yang Fan, sitting at the head of the round table, smiled upon hearing this and said, "I didn't expect everyone to be so concerned about my whereabouts. However, this matter is no secret, because I'm afraid that everyone here will know this person soon."
It was originally just a teasing remark made out of boredom, but everyone was surprised to receive such an answer.
The tall boy said lazily, "President, you're making us very curious. Aren't you afraid that we might accidentally break the little one you've got your eye on?"
His words were slightly malicious, and it was hard to tell whether they were directed at Yang Fan or the little guy he was talking about.
Yang Fan sighed helplessly: "Bai Lu, I've told you countless times, try to restrain yourself. However, if anyone here is interested, I won't stop you from taking action, but remember to be careful about the limits."
He said gently, "After all, everything in the Autumn Sea is our treasure."
Yang Fan's words made everyone happy.
The girl smiled and said with interest, "Then I'll have to observe this new student carefully. I wonder what kind of surprises he will bring?"
One of the twins said, "Just a reminder, Eliza."
Another person interjected, "Class A of Grade 1 is Mingcheng's territory."
There are five seats in total in the Council. In addition to Yang Fan who is in the first place, Eliza gets a seat because of her wealthy family. The twins share a seat. Sitting opposite him is Bai Lu, and the empty seat next to him belongs to Ming Cheng.
Eliza's eyes had been lingering on the empty seat for a long time since the beginning. Now she couldn't help but ask, "Where is Mingcheng? What could be more important than attending the council meeting?"
Yang Fan: "He asked for leave from me, but he doesn't look unwell. Perhaps there is something else that can attract his attention."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile.
Eliza sensitively sensed something from his words: "He's with that transfer student?"
Although she didn't mind making fun of the freshmen, if it involved Mingcheng, it would be like touching a reverse scale for her.
The girl's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of malice, and she said in a cold tone:
“…That’s mine.”
