Everyone was stunned when they heard Meiyin's suggestion. After a moment, Satoko asked uneasily.
"Meiyin, can the teacher join us too?"
"Of course, Mr. Fang Zheng can be our advisor. Most clubs have advisory teachers!"
"Even if I become your advisor, you won't get any club funding."
Fang Zheng would certainly not miss Meiyin's invitation. He had been considering how to infiltrate the protagonist group, and now that there was such an opportunity, Fang Zheng would naturally not miss it.
"Don't worry about the funding. Xiao Mei's family is a well-known landlord."
At this moment, Lihua also spoke with a smile, but Fang Zheng could sense that there was a bit of vigilance and curiosity in the look in Lihua's eyes when she looked at him.
If you think about it carefully, it's no wonder. To some extent, there is no difference between Lihua and Tom Cruise. Both of them have been reincarnated hundreds of times. It's just that Tom Cruise is a little better than Lihua. After all, he is an adult and has no physical problems. What he lacks is experience and awareness. Lihua is different. Her body is so weak that she can't do anything. Apart from reincarnation, Lihua can almost be said to have no resistance at all. To be honest, Fang Zheng really feels sorry for Lihua. A child who has been reincarnated hundreds of times and has to endure the fear of death every time, but has no way to escape. It's really sad to hear about it and cry to listen to it.
For Lihua, this world was just one of her countless reincarnations. But now, a new character appeared who had never appeared in the dozens of reincarnations before. It would be strange to say that Lihua had no reaction at all.
"In that case, I will accept your invitation, Meiyin, and serve as an advisor... By the way, what is the name of our club?"
"Why?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, everyone was stunned this time, and Keiichi scratched his hair and looked at everyone curiously.
"Yeah, I don't know yet either. Our club must have a name."
"Wow... I haven't thought of a name at all."
"Come on, Xiao Mei! Think of one right now!"
"Even if you let me want to now...how about calling the Game Club?"
"Too ordinary! Too old-fashioned!"
“Woo… woo…”
"Come on! Come on! Meiyin!"
Seeing Meiyin holding her head and groaning, the girls around her couldn't help but cheer her up. Unfortunately, Meiyin didn't seem to have any talent for naming. In the end, she just screamed and collapsed on the table like an explosion.
"No, I can't think of a name for the club! The only names that come to mind are the most common ones."
"Xiao Mei, you are really not good enough..."
“Woo…”
Hearing Rena's words, Meiyin puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction, then her eyes lit up and she immediately turned around to look at Fang Zheng.
"By the way, let's let Mr. Fang Zheng come up with a name for our club! Since you are already our advisor, I'll leave this matter to you!"
As expected of you, the successor of the Three Imperial Families. You are a master at shifting the blame and have mastered all the essentials of being a politician. I will remember you.
Fang Zheng silently gave Meiyin a sign in his heart, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"Then how about calling it the School Life Club?"
"The academy..."
"…Life Department?"
"That sounds pretty good."
"Then it's decided. From today on, our club will be called the School Life Club!"
As Meiyin spoke, the name was finally decided.
After that, everyone left the school and went home, chatting and laughing. Fang Zheng returned to his room in the school. It used to be a medical room, but it was quite good as a temporary residence. At least it had refrigerators and gas stoves, which was enough for daily life.
As the sun sets, the night gradually becomes darker. Looking out, you can see that the fields outside the window are all dark, with only the street lamps on the small roads in the fields emitting pale light, which looks like a rural ghost story. But Fang Zheng is certainly not afraid of these. He cannot use the power of the soul stone in this world, but Fang Zheng can use his own power. Not to mention that he has now transformed into a Zerg body, even without the Royal Cross Swordsmanship, the magic that Fang Zheng has learned is enough to deal with the crisis here.
However, since this is a world for training the mind and will, strength alone is definitely not enough.
At this point, should I be thankful that the code didn't throw me into the world of Danganronpa?
While sighing, Fang Zheng picked up the blank cards in front of him and started writing and drawing on them. As the advisory teacher of the "School Life Department", he promised Meiyin and Rena that he would make a new game for the School Life Department. Fang Zheng had nothing to worry about. As a game planner, he knew a lot about even simple board games. Not to mention that this was the 1980s, and there was a lack of consulting. It was easy for Fang Zheng to come up with a game that would satisfy everyone.
But for Fang Zheng, this is not the focus of his consideration. What he needs to consider is how to "pass through" this world.
In the world of "When the Cicadas Cry", everyone has their own reasons for turning evil. In fact, for Fang Zheng, Takano Sansi is the one who deserves the least attention. Because she is the only one who relies on pure violence, but for Fang Zheng, what he is least afraid of is the other party using violence. Therefore, as the final boss of this world, Takano Sansi is the one that Fang Zheng excludes first.
However, those problems that cannot be solved by violence are the most troublesome for Fang Zheng.
The story of "When the Cicadas Sing" is very clear. Among the five protagonists, three of them will go berserk and turn evil because they are oppressed and have nowhere to go, and then start killing people. For Fang Zheng, the best way is to eliminate the root cause of their evil. And this is also the most difficult part.
And the root cause is the Hojo family.
The most important background of the story of "When the Cicadas Cry" is that the government once built a dam in Hinamizawa, and the villagers of Hinamizawa were unwilling to leave their hometown. Then the whole village was divided into two factions: those who supported the dam and those who opposed it, and the Hojo family stood in the camp that supported the dam.
But in the end, the opposition won and the government cancelled the construction plan, so the Hojo family, who had once stood on the wrong side, was embarrassed. The whole family was ostracized by the village and even called traitors. On the way out, Hojo's parents both fell off a cliff and died. Then the two children of the Hojo family, Hojo Satoshi and Hojo Satoko, were adopted by their uncle's family.
But it is obvious that the two are not living happily. In fact, their uncle's family has been abusing Hojo Satoru and Hojo Satoko. Finally, Hojo Satoru, who can't stand it any longer, kills his aunt who abuses them in order to protect Satoko. Then he is sent for treatment because of the outbreak of "Hinamizawa Syndrome" and is declared missing to the outside world - that is, he has transferred to another school.
Sonozaki Mion's sister, Sonozaki Shion, has always had a crush on Hojo Satoshi, but her background is very embarrassing. The Sonozaki family, as one of the three major families in Hinamizawa, can be said to have single-handedly led the exclusion of the Hojo family. This is very similar to the ancient novels where the landlord who is rampant in the village makes things difficult for the poor scholar, and the daughter of the landlord falls in love with the poor scholar.
Of course, Romeo and Juliet both ended in tragedy, so there is no hope for the low-profile version of the rural landlords, Hojo Satoshi and Sonozaki Shion. Not to mention that Shion is in unrequited love, which can be said to have filled all the flags of tragic girls' novels.
After the disappearance of Hojo Satoshi, Sonozaki Shion has always believed that it was the Sonozaki family who killed Hojo Satoshi, and this is her dark fate that she can hardly change - she herself was already burdened with pain, and now the person she loves has disappeared without a trace. Therefore, Sonozaki Shion can be said to be the character who is most likely to turn evil in the entire world of Cicada Sing.
The same is true for Hojo Satoko. Fang Zheng remembers clearly that in the later period of the Cicada World, Satoko had gradually lived the peaceful life she hoped for. However, the return of her uncle, Hojo Teppei, shattered this false happiness. In the end, the originally happy daily life began to collapse and turned into a dark abyss.
Because of this, Fang Zheng felt that these two problems were the most difficult to solve. If the problems of Keiichi Maehara and Rena Ryuguya could be prevented before they happened, then the problems of Shion Sonozaki and Satoko Hojo were not so easy to solve. These two were "historical problems" that could not be easily solved by one's own efforts.
Of course, from Fang Zheng's perspective, the best way is to kill Hojo Teppei. He has enough strength and confidence to let Hojo Teppei die unexpectedly. But Fang Zheng doesn't dare to do so. Every world has its own rules. He has a vague feeling that if he kills Hojo Teppei, his fate will probably not be better than Maehara Keiichi.
In Fang Zheng's opinion, this world is even more difficult to deal with than Dark Soul. Dark Soul only prohibits the use of power beyond the limit, but in the end, everything still depends on fighting. However, this world seems to be extremely against the use of violence. Unless it is self-defense, any violent behavior other than this seems to be backfired.
Is this really a world that trains the mind? No matter how high your strength is, it is meaningless if you can't use it.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng shook his head. Just as he was about to continue his work, suddenly, Fang Zheng's ears moved slightly.
“Da…da…da…”
Behind him, in the dark corridor, a series of slow footsteps emerged, getting closer and closer. Soon, Fang Zheng heard the footsteps stop outside his door, and then there was no sound.
Oh, this feeling... Even if you say it’s not haunted, I don’t believe it.
Fang Zheng sighed helplessly, then he stood up and walked to the door, then opened the locked door with a "click". Then Fang Zheng looked at the figure standing outside the door and asked with a smile.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you at this late hour?"
