Linji No.3 Middle School 6
【Death can end all suffering, and death can bring eternal peace. Welcome to the death-themed class.
1. Be quiet when you enter the room and start learning when you sit down. Please listen carefully to the teacher's instructions and speak actively when the teacher asks questions.
2. Be a good student that teachers like. Remember, teachers are never wrong.
3. Learning is the student’s duty, and teaching and educating is the teacher’s responsibility. Remember that teaching and learning benefit each other - this is the only way you can influence your teacher.
4. Doubt is an abyss. Do not allow yourself to doubt. If you fall into the abyss, respond positively.
5. Don’t look back, and there is no need to answer questions from people other than the teacher. 】
The second rule may seem a bit odd.
The general rules of the teaching building mentioned that we must absolutely obey the teacher's instructions, even if they are wrong; it also said that we must insist on doing the right thing.
Now, here comes another rule: “The teacher is never wrong.” This sounds like a dead end no matter how you look at it. However, this kind of rule construction is impossible.
In other words, this is probably where the problem lies.
In addition, the fifth rule also surprised Ji Yunding, and then he realized that the things behind him seemed to affect the generation of the rules.
So, this is something that is almost an environmental factor?
But no matter what, Ji Yunding had to put this question aside for the time being and concentrate on looking at Xiaoxing who was sitting on a chair in front of the podium that was not much higher than the table.
"Sister, have you ever experienced pain or suffering?" Xiaoxing's voice also changed subtly with the school bell. The cute childish voice became a little weird. "Body or mind."
"Yes." Ji Yunding nodded. There was no need to hide this, everyone had this experience.
"Xiaoxing had it too. As far as I can remember, Xiaoxing seemed to be in the hospital and was in pain every day.
There is a very long, cold tube that has to be inserted into the stomach through the throat. Sometimes the body has to be cut open. It doesn't hurt during the cutting, but it still hurts a lot after it's done.
Mom and Dad said that this was an illness. At that time, Xiaoxing thought that he would get better sooner or later. When he recovered, he wanted to go to the amusement park with his parents. So no matter how painful it was, Xiaoxing could still hold on.
However, the doctor said that Xiaoxing’s illness would not be cured and he would continue to suffer until he died.
So, sister, do you know why Xiaoxing is in so much pain? "
Ji Yunding knew the correct answer—the correct answer that Anlezhong wanted.
"Because you are still alive."
"That's right! Then the next question is, do you think it's meaningful for Xiaoxing to live a life that is destined to be miserable forever?"
“…”
"Sister, you've had that experience, too. You felt so miserable that you wanted to fall asleep forever. If that kind of pain was bound to happen again and again..."
Following Xiaoxing's voice, Ji Yunding felt the scene in front of him gradually blur. In a trance, he saw a person who could not possibly be here.
"Ah Qing?"
"What you said about being weird and unable to control oneself...I find it hard to sympathize with them."
Li Fengqing's face showed the same disgust that he couldn't hide when he was chatting with Ji Yunding about strange topics.
...the smell of desserts?
Ji Yunding turned his head, but halfway through he realized that he couldn't look back, so he could only look up with some confusion.
Is this Aqing's shop?
"Ji Yunding, you are not weird, right?" Li Fengqing's next words were different from what he remembered, "Since we can be friends."
"… Stop acting. It's not like you."
Although Ji Yunding said this, it was undeniable that she still felt a slight pain in her heart.
This doesn't mean that Ji Yunding is still obsessed with this matter, but the pain is too unforgettable and has inertia, like a conditioned reflex.
Then the scenery twisted and changed again, and it seemed to be just an ordinary afternoon. Ji Yunding looked at his phone and saw that a group chat was discussing the latest mission.
The specific content was unclear, but gradually, those familiar avatars began to send bloody pictures, mourn the dead, and say increasingly radical words.
The scenes kept changing, all of which were places that Ji Yunding had been to and were familiar with. The school cafeteria, the streets outside the school, the pedestrians coming and going, whose faces could not be seen clearly, did not pay any attention to Ji Yunding, and just talked about weird topics by themselves.
Disgusting, sickening, die.
Ji Yunding remained silent, then sighed: "Boring."
During that period, Ji Yunding would indeed feel an uncontrollable urge to vomit churning through his body whenever he heard these words - he could probably say it was sadness.
"But I've thought about it carefully."
Ji Yunding still looked straight ahead and answered seriously,
"I'm liked by a lot of people, and my presence seems to make their lives better. I'm not sure exactly why, but I want to continue to respond to their expectations, by any means necessary."
--fraud.
Ji Yunding heard this voice and shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with being a liar. Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue, just let me out."
Just a moment of hesitation can create such a realistic illusion... No wonder people say that mental things are weird and troublesome.
Ji Yunding blinked, and saw Xiaoxing sitting on the table in front of Ji Yunding, very close to him, with a weird smile that was not human. After Ji Yunding woke up, Xiaoxing instantly returned to his natural state as if nothing had happened.
"Sister, don't be distracted in class. The next part is very important."
Ji Yunding felt something move in the corner of his vision, and two figures slowly stood up from the shadow of the podium.
They were in their thirties, a man and a woman, but they had no breath. They didn't look like derivative monsters. They just stood there stiffly, like specimens.
"These are Xiaoxing's parents. They don't feel any pain anywhere now." Xiaoxing smiled happily, seeming to have a sense of accomplishment. "Never again. I heard from Brother Jiye that their souls have gained eternal peace."
If someone else were here, they would be more or less moved by this family tragedy, but Ji Yunding really didn't understand kinship. Just hearing Xiaoxing still calling that guy "brother", Ji Yunding felt a little bit nauseous.
"Square watermelon..."
Ji Yunding muttered something and sighed deeply.
What can I do...
"So, would you mind if I killed you?"
"I don't mind. However, there are still many people suffering, and Xiaoxing wants to save them. What is this called... Oh, right! Mission. I heard from everyone that it is too selfish to only care about yourself, and everyone should be happy."
Xiaoxing jumped back to the podium and looked at Ji Yunding happily.
"There is a very comfortable bed in Anle Tomb. If you lie on it, you will never feel any pain again after a while. Why don't you want to do it?"
There was no way to argue or persuade him. This child's perception of the world was completely distorted.
Ji Yunding was thinking, but suddenly he felt suffocated.
It feels like the neck is wrapped with a thin thread.
"Sister, you just answered its question."
Xiaoxing's expression became a little worried again.
"It's not good. It will cause you a lot of pain. Pain is not good."
when?
"It doesn't matter. If necessary, I will blow it up along with this place." Ji Yunding refused politely in a not-so-polite tone while thinking about what to do.
Only a response could break the illusion, but from what happened just now, Ji Yunding couldn't tell which sentence came from the rotten corpse behind him.
I have to find a way to interrupt Xiaoxing. Otherwise, I will be dragged into hallucinations and I don't know when I will answer questions I shouldn't answer. I am a little unwilling to use up my ability that can only be used once every 24 hours.
“I thought you’d be lonely.”
"What?"
“You keep the people you are close to by your side, but they won’t stand up again, and they won’t respond to you anymore.”
Ji Yunding lowered his eyes, his tone somewhat sad.
"I couldn't stand the thought of it, and I still can't stand it."
"But, they are happy, right?" Xiaoxing's tone sounded a little confused, "That's how it should be."
"I'm not sure about other things, but they probably aren't happy." Ji Yunding looked at the little girl in front of him, "If it were me, I would hate my own incompetence."
"inability?"
“They love you very much.”
Ji Yunding turned around and looked at the two bodies.
"'If you have any troubles or difficulties in the future, even if you are in so much pain that you want to end it all, I will no longer be able to help you.' I should die with such despair."
"Sister, your words are so hard to understand."
"Because after I started working, I was surrounded by people whose speech was hard to understand."
Ji Yunding sighed again and scratched his head.
"They are dying and dying. There are no normal people. One or two of them are thinking about troublesome things every day.
I was not interested in these things at all, I just wanted five social insurances, one housing fund and thirteen salaries. Because I used to think that life is just about finding something to do while living and waiting to die.
But now I feel that if I die, I will be very worried about them before I die, to the point where I absolutely cannot die.”
"So, you're trying to say that I'm wrong?"
Xiaoxing tilted his head and showed an undisguised, somewhat expectant smile.
"If that's the case, Xiaoxing can graduate from high school."
Killing an investigator is a weird graduation.
"Of course not. I was confused about what the second rule meant. How could there be a rule that sounded wrong? But thanks to some compulsory education knowledge, I roughly understand it."
Ji Yunding thought for a moment, ignoring Xiaoxing's stiff smile that looked less and less like a living person, and then said,
“Children may do wrong things, but it is not the children who are at fault, but the adults.
Your parents chose to send you to Anlezhong, and Anlezhong gave you this kind of education, so you will inevitably grow up like this.
No one would call earthquakes, tsunamis or volcanic eruptions "mistakes" because they are inevitable. By analogy, such inevitable misfortunes should be more appropriately called "disasters."
Wrong education is an irresistible disaster for children.
No matter how talented or brilliant a person is, he or she will be confined by the education he or she received as a child throughout his or her life.
For example, Ji Yunding, to this day, still maintains a different way of thinking from ordinary people. Even if she has been affected in some ways, it still cannot erase her nature.
"By the way, what's your full name?"
"... Zhang T Lexing."
As he spoke, Xiaoxing blinked in confusion and looked at his hands.
The power that the rules were supposed to give her suddenly disappeared.
——General rules of the teaching building. Life cannot be repeated, so please stick to the right thing.
"Teacher, please admit that I am right, or give up the title of 'teacher'. After all, teaching and learning are mutually beneficial, and it is absolutely 'wrong' to be unable to accept the correct opinions of students."
Ji Yunding stood up and walked to Xiaoxing's side.
"I have to say, using your age to construct this is a very clever design."
From the moment he saw the second rule, Ji Yunding was wondering - how could Anle Zong's ideas be correct.
Then the problem can only lie with the "teacher".
"Is it Xiaoxing who caused mom and dad to fall into misfortune?"
“…”
Ji Yunding did not reply. It was too cruel to say such a thing out loud.
The point of view stated by Ji Yunding just now was too complicated, and Xiaoxing seemed to only understand this matter.
After a long time, the rules had allowed Ji Yunding to take action, but she just stood there.
"No, you are not right."
As Xiaoxing spoke, her body became distorted, as if being cruelly torn apart by an invisible force.
"There's nothing wrong with death. What's wrong is that Xiaoxing didn't die... As long as my parents and I die together, we'll all be happy..."
The teacher is never wrong - this rule does not really constrain humans, but freaks.
"That's enough."
Ji Yunding picked up Xiaoxing, walked around the podium in a big circle, and walked towards the classroom door without looking back.
However, before Ji Yunding touched the classroom door, something on the child's body was glowing, and then her expression calmed down and she showed a calm and soothing smile.
The door opened and the bell rang.
Ji Yunding was silent for a long time, looking at the longevity lock hanging around Xiaoxing's neck.
Zhang Lexing... This blessing is to hope that she will be happy throughout her life.
A very ordinary name, but one without any desires or regrets from the previous generation.
"They must love you very much."
