Chapter 21 The Truth
Lu Ming was truly shocked. How could this be blamed on her? She now deeply regretted coming here to watch the fun.
The people around turned to look at Lu Ming, and the protagonist of the conversation had changed again.
"Luming? Who is that?"
"Ah, that's the freshman from the music school, right?"
"It's Luming? Why is she here at school?"
"Why else? For men."
"She still has the nerve to come to school? Hasn't she been humiliated enough?"
"When did she come? I don't remember seeing her in the cafeteria."
Lu Ming broke out in a sweat after hearing this. It seemed that the original owner had a lot of dark history.
But she relaxed again. It was the end of the world anyway, and whoever had the stronger fist had the final say. So what if there was some negative information?
She raised an eyebrow, "Who are you?"
Qiao Sisi was incredulous. "You, what are you talking about? You just asked me to come get something, and now you want to deny it?"
Lu Ming smiled, "You said I looked for you, so I did look for you? Can anyone prove it?"
People started pointing and talking all around. Lin Cong listened to the gossip with a cold face. Just as he was about to walk out, Yan Song pressed down on his shoulders and signaled him to stay calm.
Qiao Sisi cried even harder, "You framed me! Just now you came to ask me where the president was, and then told me that the team leader asked me to get a box of cookies, so I came here."
Some people who knew Lu Ming before began to look at her strangely, while others who didn't know the truth started to inquire about the gossip between the two of them, making a lot of noise and a lot of noise for a while.
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Lu Ming felt as if she were surrounded by thousands of flies, and she was a little irritated. She frowned and said, "I still say the same thing. What evidence do you have to support your claims? Why should your words be true?"
Qiao Sisi looked around, but no one stood up.
Lu Ming crossed his arms, "No one saw me talking to you, but someone saw you stealing something. How do you explain that?"
Qiao Sisi's face turned red with anger, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Someone couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at Lu Ming: "Sisi must have her reasons for saying that. Maybe you stole it and deliberately tricked her over to frame her!"
"Yes, that's it!"
"It's very likely. This isn't the first time she's done something like this. She's always been causing trouble for Sisi."
"Just kick her out. We can't keep people like her."
Lu Ming was about to explode with anger. She yelled, "Shut the fuck up! What the hell is this got to do with you?"
She pointed at the blue jacket and said, "There's a witness who accused Qiao Sisi of stealing things. You believed her when she said no. I said she was just quibbling. You're really smart. So, now you're deciding cases based on character, right? Does that mean the person you like is always right?"
However, no one listened, and the discussions around became louder.
"Shut up!" Gu Chao growled. He looked around with a sullen face. "Do you want to lure all the zombies outside in here?"
When everyone heard this, they remembered their current situation and the voices gradually died down.
At this time, Yan Wei came out, looked at Qiao Sisi and said, "I can prove that she stole the supplies!"
Wow, the situation had taken a turn. Although everyone didn't dare to make a noise, they still couldn't help whispering.
Lu Ming also looked at Yan Wei in surprise. He didn't expect that he would come out to speak for him. After all, in the original story, he was a loyal supporter of the heroine.
It seems like it's her butterfly effect again.
Qiao Sisi's face turned pale, but she forced herself to remain calm. "What evidence do you have?"
Yan Wei's thoughts were clear and logical. "I'm Yan Wei, the leader of Group 37. Qiao Sisi and Lu Ming are both my group members today. I didn't know either of them before. First of all, I haven't spoken to either of them since noon. Secondly, let me ask a question. Did any group go to the underground supermarket next to the library at noon and in the evening?"
"No."
"We don't have any in our group."
Yan Wei looked around as the surroundings gradually quieted down. "This morning, when Qiao Sisi was moving supplies to the supermarket, I saw with my own eyes that she touched four boxes of water one by one. However, all four boxes of water disappeared from the spot. If anyone goes to the underground supermarket tomorrow, they can go and see if what I said is true. When other people moved water, they all started from the door, so the water inside should be in good order. But near the wall, in the front row, there are four boxes missing from right to left."
"You're saying it so seriously, could it be true?"
"No way, if it's true, how come it disappeared?"
"Hey, haven't you read the novel? It's about spatial abilities."
"Wow, there really is a spatial ability."
"So is it true that she stole things?"
"I didn't expect the school beauty to be this kind of person."
Qiao Sisi's face turned pale. Listening to the harsh conversations and the speculation about her special abilities, she felt shaky and trembling all over.
The secret she had hidden for so long was exposed!
"Enough!" Gu Chao shouted.
He looked at Qiao Sisi coldly, and the look in his eyes as if he was looking at a dead person made Qiao Sisi's heart tremble violently.
"Since two people have come forward to testify, your eligibility to receive supplies will be revoked until the army arrives. This matter ends here. I hope you don't forget that there are so many zombies waiting outside. Instead of spending so much time chatting, you might as well go out and fight zombies."
He turned to look at the angry Luming again, and his voice softened a lot, "Classmate, when I went out this afternoon, I saw you killing zombies?"
Suddenly, the expressions of the people around changed instantly.
Lu Ming thought it was funny. Weren't they together in the afternoon? But he nodded in agreement.
"Then, would you like to join our mercenary group and become our official member?"
Hiss, a collective gasp. Luming was actually invited? So many people had tried to curry their favor, but this foolish, delicate woman actually...?
Many people's eyes became jealous, resentful and contemptuous. Lu Ming saw it, pretended to think for a moment, and replied: "Okay. But I don't remember much about the past. You have heard that my reputation doesn't seem to be very good." She spread her hands helplessly.
Gu Chao said: "It doesn't matter. We are not the kind of people who don't know right from wrong and just follow what others say. We believe in our own eyes."
Lin Congze stepped forward and laughed, "Welcome, welcome, classmate Lu Ming, I'll protect you from now on! If anyone dares to say a word about her again..." His face suddenly darkened, and his hands suddenly ignited with flames, "Don't blame me for being blind!"
Hearing this, the people who had just been discussing the matter fell silent. Cheng Ming took the opportunity to extend his hand to Lu Ming. "I'm Cheng Ming. If you're free now, why don't you come upstairs and discuss our future plans?"
Lu Ming pretended to be surprised and shook Cheng Ming's hand, "Okay, let's go."
Everyone saw that this was a done deal, and no matter how jealous they were, they didn't dare to say anything.
No one cared about Qiao Sisi anymore, as if this person had never existed.
Qiao Sisi shook her head, turned around and ran away crying. No one saw the vicious and resentful look in her eyes.
Lu Ming followed a few people back to the second floor. As soon as he entered the door, he wailed, "I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. It's not easy to act in a play." As he spoke, he slumped in the chair.
Lin Cong walked in angrily, "Dasong, why did you stop me just now? I have to beat up those people who were shouting so loudly. Their mouths are so stinky, they must have eaten too much shit!"
Yan Song patted him and said, "I don't care if you teach them a lesson in private, but you can't bully others just now, otherwise our sister will never be able to get over this knot, understand?"
Zhang Rui didn't say anything, but he also looked indignant.
Lu Ming looked at the people who were fighting for her, and felt warm and amused at the same time. "Alright, alright, I'm not angry anymore, so why are you still angry? I don't remember anything anyway, so who cares what they say? I'll part ways with them when the army arrives.
A few people were still unhappy. Seeing this, Lu Ming asked, "I heard you encountered a fire zombie today?"
"Yeah, yeah, we got a real scare today. The zombie even went after Xiao Linzi and bit him."
"Have you dug up the crystals?"
"Here it is, here." Lin Cong took out a red stone from his pocket. It was the same as the speed-related one before, only half the size of a finger joint.
"Take it. I want to tell you that this crystal should be able to be absorbed by people with special abilities."
"What?!" Several people were shocked.
