Chapter 74 Student Killed Teacher 1.0
When Li Ziyue regained consciousness, all he could see was an extremely cruel blood-red scene before his eyes.
Blood covered half of the man's body, and half of the female face that always had a gentle smile on it was missing.
All that was left were bullet holes.
The gun that shot the bullet was right in Li Ziyue's palm.
“Bang!”
He dropped the hot weapon unconsciously to the ground, making a few crisp sounds.
Li Ziyue could not feel any temperature, and was not even sure if his heart was still beating.
His eyes were glazed over and his breathing stopped.
Then.
With a "plop", he suddenly knelt down in front of the man.
Li Ziyue opened his lips slightly, his throat was hoarse, but he couldn't utter a word.
The scene before my eyes seemed to turn into a black and white pantomime, with only the man's coagulated blood appearing red.
[Congratulations to Li Ziyue for successfully completing his last class~]
[Congratulations on your graduation and going home]
Congratulations.
Congratulations for what.
Li Ziyue felt a splitting headache. He curled up into a ball and fell to the other side, his cold fingers unconsciously stretched forward.
He encountered the pool of blood that was about to solidify in the cold wind and the bullet shell that fell beside it.
Fragments of past memories flashed before him like a kaleidoscope.
It was not Li Ziyue's initiative to beat up the number one in the fighting department. The cause of the incident was so simple that it was unbelievable.
Li Ziyue was handsome and seldom spoke in front of strangers. When people looked at him from a distance, they felt that he had a kind of aloofness that kept strangers away.
And this distance can be easily broken - once you have seen his smiling eyes.
His peach blossom eyes were slightly narrowed, and when he smiled, his eyes could bend like the bright moon in the sky. There were faint dimples on both sides of his mouth, which made him look even gentler.
Here, beauty and kindness are double-edged swords.
She is liked by countless people, but also secretly envied by countless people.
The top student in the fighting department has always been respected and admired in school, but when Li Ziyue came, he stole all the limelight from him.
Under the school’s “death elimination of laggards” mechanism, it is easy for people to fall into animal nature.
Territorial consciousness, leadership, class divisions...
Although this place is called a school, it is actually full of blood and violence. People are allowed to form small groups, and private fights are naturally allowed.
Combat effectiveness is the only criterion for dominating the school.
The "old people" are supposed to teach the ignorant "newcomers", and the "newcomers" must submit to their predecessors.
However, this iron rule that had been passed down for a long time was broken by Li Ziyue with one punch.
Li Ziyue is willing to treat others kindly, but it only means that the other party also treats him kindly, which does not mean that he will swallow his anger and look at the face of his seniors.
This is inconsistent with his cold personality hidden under his gentle face and his arrogance that actually looks down on everyone.
Even if the 26-year-old Li Ziyue was capable, he would have to consider many aspects before taking action, but the 17-year-old Li Ziyue didn't care about these.
The first one was pinned to the ground and beaten so badly that he lost all face.
He should have been worshipped as a “new god”, but he underestimated the darkness of human hearts and the enslavement of people by the “hierarchy”.
The reason why that person was able to hold the top spot in the fighting department for so long was not because of his real strength, but because of the network of connections he built by colluding with others for personal gain.
The violence in schools goes far beyond physical assaults.
The mental isolation and suppression forced people to swallow their blood. In addition, Li Ziyue was only 17 years old at the time. He was young and frivolous. He disdained the darkness and was unwilling to bow down and go along with others.
People with ulterior motives spread rumors, and he was gradually labeled as a "freak", "cold-blooded", "violent" and "cruel".
Even though he only did it that once.
The school conducts various tests every day with lives as stakes. The deformed environment breeds deformed human hearts. Everyone is encouraged to be "jealous", "smiling with a dagger in one's heart" is advocated, and "betraying each other" is praised.
Here, darkness becomes sacred and kindness becomes a prisoner.
Li Ziyue was forced into loneliness.
No one dared to talk to him. He was always left to the end in group tests. Whenever there was a difficult test, he was pushed forward by everyone to take the test. Whenever there was a benefit, it was never his turn.
If Li Ziyue had been treated maliciously all his life, perhaps he would have grown up to be a cold-blooded person, but he could never forget the short period of warm time he spent with the old man in his childhood.
This little warmth is like a weak candlelight on a snowy night.
The night was late, the snow was thick, and the wind was cold.
And light is warm and makes people yearn for it.
The kindness of others can sometimes be a form of cruelty.
If he had never been treated gently, he would not have longed for it, nor would he have felt a little sad and lonely when he saw others in company.
He drowned in the lonely ocean for a long time. When he struggled for the last time, Liu Yuche reached out his hand and pulled him to the shore.
"Weird, you're so strong, but no one in your class wants to team up with you."
She rubbed her wrist that was sore from the recoil of the sniper rifle and smiled at Li Ziyue: "Team up with me. I'll aim from a distance, and you'll harvest from a short distance. No one can beat us."
Li Ziyue silently looked at the girl in front of him who had short hair that was almost as long as his and had a neutral appearance. He pursed his lips slightly, then pressed Liu Yuche's shoulder and exerted force with his hand——
Flipped her to the ground.
"Your physical fitness is too poor," Li Ziyue looked down at her, "I only used a little strength."
Liu Yuche stood on the ground for several seconds, then burst into laughter.
"You're such an interesting person," she climbed up and then took out a small pistol from her backpack, "Are you interested in guns? How about you teach me how to fight and I'll teach you how to use a gun?"
Li Ziyue didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Later, Li Ziyue found it difficult to describe the influence Liu Yuche had on him at that time.
Humans are social animals. If they suffer from unfair isolation for a long time, even the healthiest mentality will gradually become cold and they will lose trust in others.
What's more, Li Ziyue was quite harsh in his self-criticism. If Liu Yuche had not helped him at that time, he would have sooner or later fallen into the painful vortex of self-suspicion and denial in his youth.
They have gone through too many difficult times together, and whenever Li Ziyue was on the verge of losing control, Liu Yuche could always bring him back to his senses.
"I didn't expect you to be so capable, and you would often criticize yourself," Liu Yuche handed the gun to him, "During the day, you look cold and don't care about anyone, but when you lie in bed at night, do you regret not giving face to that idiot in the combat department?"
"You are such a contradictory person. Sometimes I feel like you understand everything like a mirror, and sometimes I feel like you are confused and only blame yourself for everything."
Liu Yuche asked him to raise his hands flat: "Most people's hands shake when they point a gun at a living creature for the first time, even if they have practiced many times beforehand."
"The reason why they were unsteady was simple. They were just thinking too much. Before they even fired the gun, they were already thinking about what it would look like if the creature died in front of them, and whether they had taken someone else's life..."
Li Ziyue pursed his lips and said nothing. He moved his fingers slightly and pulled the trigger, and then only a crisp sound was heard.
There was a hole in the middle of the wooden target.
He raised his eyebrows, looking proud that "I am a talented player".
Liu Yuche laughed and poured cold water on him: "Come on, if you can really use a gun to protect yourself, it can be considered as 'learning a little bit'."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was beaten down by Li Ziyue again.
"Yeah." Li Ziyue smiled provocatively, "The best thing is to not be pinned down by me one day."
Liu Yuche fell to the ground, gritting his teeth in anger: "Li Ziyue, just wait for me!"
Li Ziyue threw the gun up and caught it.
He yawned lazily, leaving Liu Yuche with a waving hand: "Wait."
Li Ziyue smiled and said, "My hands won't shake. I can do anything well."
Liu Yuche stood behind him, watching him change from being taciturn at the beginning to being able to make a confident joke or two now. She felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction at the "cultivation" she had achieved.
Neither Li Ziyue nor Liu Yuche had thought of it at that time.
The first living person that Li Ziyue pointed a gun at in his life was Liu Yuche, who taught him how to use a gun.
There is indeed no hand shaking.
He did a great job of killing his teacher using the techniques his teacher taught him.
He is a very talented student.
He is also a sinner who betrays friendship.
In fact, they should have anticipated this day as early as the first day they met.
The methods used by schools to screen students are extremely perverted: they fill students' hearts with viciousness and allow or even force them to harm each other.
It constantly helps build a ladder of trust between companions, but then kicks them down hard, gives them weapons, and lets them fight each other.
It has plunged them into despair countless times, but it also requires them to have a strong desire to survive.
It makes them live and kills them, forcing all students to engrave the feeling of "life is worse than death" into their bones.
After layers of screening, those who cannot do the above have long been eliminated by death.
The rest are people who will burst out with a strong will to survive in desperate situations.
They fought alongside many people, and also betrayed their companions without hesitation many times.
Li Ziyue became the most pitiful victim under this screening.
His desire for life helped him endure too much pain of being on the verge of death, but it also made him shoot his only friend with his own hands.
Human blood seemed to have turned into a highly corrosive liquid, gradually devouring his flesh and bones. He closed his eyes powerlessly and saw himself sitting in front of densely packed tombstones.
Under the tombstone are all losers who were defeated by him and whose lives were taken by the people above.
Li Ziyue...they all died because of you.
You are an unforgivable person, so why are you still longing for friends?
Sooner or later you will betray them for your life.
Sooner or later you...
He took a deep breath, feeling the bloody smell rushing through his body.
Li Ziyue was born to love laughing.
God gave him eyes as bright as the moon, but also trapped him in a swamp of sin.
In order to survive, he had to be cruel to others, but he always kept a ridiculous bit of kindness in his heart.
This kindness made him long for normal conversation with others and for others to show their affection for him.
I long to be like a normal person, to have some friends, some family, some...
The qualification to smile normally.
Liu Yuche said that the plum looks more like a hedgehog.
"When I first saw you, I thought you were hard to approach. You were cold and didn't talk. You just had a stern face and stood at the back in a pretentious manner."
"I came to you to cooperate, but you threw me to the ground before I even said a word and said that I have poor physical fitness."
"You secretly helped others, and when they asked you about it, you were too proud to admit it, and you insisted on making sarcastic remarks to others, and then you blamed yourself for driving them away."
Liu Yuche smiled at him: "You are like a hedgehog. When I touch you normally, I only feel a handful of thorns, but in fact your belly is very soft, and your little hedgehog face is also very cute..."
"Stop talking." Li Ziyue turned his face away, his ears turned red uncontrollably, and he began to stutter for no apparent reason, "You...you are not allowed to talk."
Liu Yuche is the second person in Li Ziyue's life who treats him well with true feelings.
But such a person.
Died by Li Ziyue's gun.
What's even more ridiculous is that he killed his closest companion and got away with it.
He was pardoned and allowed to start a new life.
newborn.
Carrying other people's flesh and blood and stepping on other people's corpses.
newborn.
That was the coldest winter.
On the way out of school, he saw too many people who had frozen to death on the road.
It seems like there are dead ends everywhere.
Whether it is school or the so-called way home.
He never knew where his home was.
He never met his parents.
The only two people who treated him well, one died because of him, and the other was killed by him.
Think about it carefully.
It seemed like he was the one who had no right to live from the beginning to the end.
At this time, Li Ziyue didn't know that this was the first time his sharpness was worn away by the cruel reality and rules.
From then on, similar things were just like eating and drinking to him.
Young people are full of vigor and arrogance.
Suppressed by countless oppressions and meaningless struggles, he can never raise his head.
The snow slowed his steps.
He stumbled along the road like a lifeless corpse.
I killed my only friend.
[In order to keep myself alive.]
Passing by the slope, the ground was slippery, and he looked in a daze at the ice flakes that seemed to be shining orange under the dim street lights.
If I could die like this—
It was a dark and snowy night, and as he turned a corner, he accidentally bumped into a child who was a head shorter than him.
The two men collided, and the taller one fell to the ground.
Li Ziyue was knocked unconscious. He stood up hurriedly, as if he felt very miserable. He took difficult steps, trying to leave quickly.
Afterwards.
Behind him he heard a sharp squeal of a truck's brakes failing.
At that moment he suddenly became sober, without any hesitation in his mind. Almost instinctively, he turned around and pulled the child who seemed to be in a daze in front of the truck into his arms.
The two of them huddled together and rolled to one side. Li Ziyue put his hand on the back of the child's neck to prevent him from hitting the back of his head.
When I came to my senses, I saw the innocent look of the child in my arms.
Li Ziyue was suddenly stunned.
The blood from Liu Yuche's body still remained on his arm.
The child he had saved without hesitation lay in his arms.
On one hand, it is a symbol of his sin, and on the other hand, it represents the purity of his heart.
People like me...
Li Ziyue looked at the child in his arms with almost despair.
The man looked at him curiously, and there seemed to be a flash of joy in his eyes.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Li Ziyue turned his face away.
Do you know what I just did?
I just killed my friend myself.
His throat choked, and the cold wind he inhaled into his body cut his fragile internal organs like a knife, causing a pain like a needle prick.
The cold hands trembled as they covered his tearful eyes.
Why should I save others...
What am I pretending?
I'm pretending to be kind again, I'm not...
Li Ziyue. Do you think that if you pretend to be a little kind, you are qualified to be liked by others?
Do you think that if you save others, your sins will be washed away?
Do you think you have a reason to live in this world?
Li Ziyue was trembling all over, but it was not because of the cold, as he no longer felt the cold.
I don't.
I should.
——"I deserve to die."
The cold wind blows and the snowy night becomes darker.
Zhang Lian followed Li Ziyue slowly and refused to leave no matter how Li Ziyue tried to drive him away.
Li Ziyue is tough on the outside but soft on the inside, which just meets Zhang Lian's stubborn persistence.
At the beginning, Li Ziyue forced himself to tell a lot of hurtful lies, but Zhang Lian turned a blind eye and just smiled at Li Ziyue.
After a long time, Zhang Lian knew better than Li Ziyue which words of Li Ziyue were sincere and which were awkward.
Li Ziyue said that Zhang Lian was troublesome, but he also helped him to straighten the quilt. Zhang Lian just held his hand, lowered his eyes and said uncomfortably: "Brother, it hurts."
Li Ziyue immediately lost his temper.
The two of them warm each other in this cold winter with a seemingly tense but actually very harmonious relationship.
At that time, Zhang Lian did not know that his appearance was as precious as a life-saving straw to Li Ziyue.
What made him save Zhang Lian without hesitation was the kindness in Li Ziyue's heart, as well as his courage and strength to save himself, which had pulled Li Ziyue back from the cliff of suicide thousands of times.
Zhang Lian is a symbol of Li Ziyue's feeling that he is still worthy of being loved.
It is also Li Ziyue's desire to continue living in the cold night.
Li Ziyue would never tell Zhang Lian that he had carefully planned their future.
When the snow melts and the cold fades away...
However, the time that Li Ziyue had to enjoy the insignificant happiness was too short.
They haven't even made it through a full winter.
I have yet to see the spring when the snow turns to trickles and the willow trees put out tender green buds.
That's it.
This farewell.
It's eight years.
If Zhang Lian had not given up everything to get closer, it would have been forever.
