Chapter 114 She Loves You
If Cai Hua, or another psychologist, had been facing Principal Di at this moment, they would have offered comfort, soothing her, and trying to ease her guilt. But the person facing her was Lin Xi, a woman with immense empathy. She understood Zhu Zhu's pain, Teacher Gao's pain, and Principal Di's pain, yet she couldn't comprehend it.
So she didn't answer, she just lowered her eyes and looked at Principal Di quietly.
Principal Di raised his head and looked directly at Lin Xi. "You're right. I didn't want to join the committee at all, but when they approached me, I thought this might be an opportunity. Human, can you tell me how we can understand each other? How can we avoid repeating the same mistakes?"
If one day, there is still a young girl lost in this world full of strange and bizarre stories, will Principal Di still adopt her? Lin Xi vaguely knows the answer, she will.
While this dungeon looked incredibly difficult, the death toll wasn't as high as one might expect. Principal Di, the dungeon's main boss, barely even took action. It was as if she was simply running a school—a school where Zhu Zhu didn't exist, but where she was waiting for the next Zhu Zhu.
§
She agreed with the committee to let her school appear as a ghost story copy, and her intention was probably completely different from the committee. She just wanted an answer, an answer to whether Zhu Zhu would not die if she could understand her. So she has been letting her guard down. Looking at the situation just now, Teacher Gao and Principal Di became one for some reason, but with Teacher Gao's strength, she could not suppress Principal Di at all. If Principal Di wanted to come out, she could come out at any time.
I wonder if the committee regretted finding Principal Di when they saw her letting them off the hook. Not only did they fail to bring about this big weird story, but there were many more anchors with experience in completing dungeons.
Now is not the time to relax. If we fail to successfully resolve Principal Di’s knot in his heart, then Principal Di will go crazy and those anchors will die too.
However, Lin Xi racked her brains but couldn't think of what answer Principal Di wanted. She sighed and decided to give her own answer.
"People can't even understand each other, so how can people and ghosts understand each other?"
This statement was a truth that Lin Xi believed in: people couldn't understand each other. Even someone as empathetic as Lin Xi couldn't understand others. She thought back to Teacher Gao's sudden breakdown when she and Shen Sangning performed "Romeo and Juliet," and she vaguely understood the reason.
What is "Romeo and Juliet" about? It appears to be a story of unwavering love between a man and a woman, but underneath it lies the conflict between two families, a tragedy caused by a lack of mutual understanding between humans. The most interesting thing is that the hero and heroine actually understand everything, but the fact that their families don't understand each other behind the scenes creates the final outcome.
It is impossible for Teacher Gao not to know what Principal Di wants to do. After all, they are both like that, truly "integrated into one". Lin Xi doesn't believe that she doesn't know what the other is thinking.
She probably didn't agree with Principal Di, but she also wondered if the ending would be different if she could understand Zhu Zhu at that time. To be honest, except that Teacher Gao was a little crazy, in the story, Principal Di was really a good parent, at least more like a human than Shen Sangning's parents.
But Lin Xi felt that even if these two parents could really understand Zhu Zhu and empathize with her pain, sooner or later, Zhu Zhu would still choose to commit suicide.
As a human being, it is impossible to survive in such a world. How can she survive when she is bullied by classmates, teachers and even passers-by, and she doesn't know when she will trigger other people's rules?
Principal Di fell silent in response to Lin Xi's words. Seeing her dejected look, even the black, snake-like hair at the edge of the light became wilted.
Lin Xi rarely showed her kindness: "Actually, Zhu Zhu loves you guys very much. She should be having a pretty happy time in the world of ghost stories."
"Why do you say that?"
Principal Di didn't understand what Lin Xi meant.
"Zhu Zhu's original name was Zhu Xiaocao. Her family didn't value her at all and she was even likely to get lost.
"It was intentional. In her original human world, she didn't receive much love. Only after coming to this world did she finally gain the love of you two." Lin Xi took a step back and left the light.
The snake-like hair immediately came towards her, and was then completely cut off by Shen Sangning, who was floating behind Lin Xi. Lin Xi pointed to where she had been standing. "I don't know if you've seen it before. In this place, if you turn off all the lights and only use a flashlight to look, there is an inscription of the name 'Zhu Zhu' on it."
"I think it was left by Zhu Zhu before she committed suicide. You were the one who gave her the name Zhu Zhu, right? The name she left here wasn't Zhu Xiaocao, but Zhu Zhu. Even in the last second of her death, she loved you all."
Lin Xi's words completely silenced Principal Di. Principal Di pursed her lips, a slight tremor in the shadows. She and Teacher Gao were two completely different people. Teacher Gao appeared gentle, but in reality, she was very strict and unstable, easily losing her composure when faced with difficulties. Principal Di, on the other hand, was not like that. While she appeared stern and fierce, she actually softened her voice and was more emotional towards Zhu Zhu.
Just like their surnames, one high and the other low, they are completely opposite.
When these two people rented a house together, they probably didn't get along well, but because of Zhu Zhu, they lived together peacefully for nine years. They both liked Zhu Zhu sincerely, but each of them had problems.
Finally, Principal Di also began to cry. Lin Xi had already made two teachers cry today. Teacher Gao wept bitterly, and Principal Di also shed tears from the bottom of her heart. When she started crying, it was different from what Lin Xi had imagined. She tilted her head back, tears streaming from her eyes. At the same time, Teacher Gao also separated from her body.
They became two people, but both of them were crying.
"Uh..." Lin Xi was confused. No, what was going on? Why were they all so upset and crying? Although this matter did make them happy and touching, she cared so much about them, why couldn't they think about themselves? Crying like this really made her look like a bad guy!
Lin Xi's embarrassed expression was exposed to the audience, and at this moment, the comments went completely crazy:
[This scene is obviously very touching, Lin Xi, what are you doing! ]
[I'm dying of laughter. Lin Xi's expression is like, "Huh? Is this my fault? Why are you guys crying?"]
[I almost cried while listening to the previous part, but the moment I saw Lin Xi's expression, my tears stopped.]
[I always thought Sister Xi was a very empathetic person, until now.]
[Ghost: What's going on? Aren't we here to scare people? Why are we being frightened into tears?]
Principal Di still hadn't completely forgotten that Lin Xi was right beside her. She sniffed and said to Lin Xi, "Thank you. Although you didn't give me a satisfactory answer, I'm already satisfied to know that Zhu Zhu doesn't hate us."
At this moment, Lin Xi showed his utilitarianism: "So, what are the conditions for passing the level?"
"Yes." Principal Di nodded and agreed. She raised her hand, and a virtual screen suddenly appeared before her, similar to the one displayed in the dark space and the Mahjong ghost. Lin Xi's sharp eyes saw the dense text on it at a glance, but it was presented in a row, and Lin Xi guessed that it was the rules.
Principal Di scrolled several times before she turned to the end and clicked on it to start editing. The moment she turned off the screen, Aaron Jones took out the admission letter he had kept close to him and confirmed that the last two conditions for passing the exam had been changed.
【Admission Notice：
Customs clearance requirements:
1. Survival time: 14 days;
2. Have fun;
3. Watch or participate in the performance at 4pm on the second Saturday. 】
In addition to Aaron Jones, many anchors also carried their admission letters with them, but Lin Xi didn't. She was even a little confused: No, they all carried them with them? Why didn't anyone notify me?
But after discovering that Principal Di had really made changes, Lin Xi thought: From now on, I'd better carry the main rules with me. After all, the ones I copied myself won't change at any time.
After seeing the faces of those anchors, Lin Xi also relaxed. Because she really couldn't complete the original conditions, she couldn't do it! It was impossible to do it! What's more, there are only 4 teachers anchoring now, how can this be completed!
"On this last day, I wish you a happy life in this world." After saying this, Principal Di took Teacher Gao and prepared to leave. Lin Xi was a little surprised and called out to her, "Principal Di, where are you going?"
Principal Di turned around, a look of intense hatred on her face: "I'm going to settle accounts with the committee!"
"What..." Xian Zhufu
Teacher Gao suddenly explained, "When you mentioned the committee, I just remembered that when I was confused, a member of the committee told me that if I didn't want Zhu Zhu to leave us, as long as she became a ghost and remained a child forever, she would not leave us. From that day on, I was like a lost soul, and I only wanted Zhu Zhu to become the same as us. After Zhu Zhu died, I don't know why, this memory also became blurred."
"I'm not trying to excuse myself. I'm well aware that I made a serious mistake, but Zhu Zhu is innocent and she didn't deserve to die. I'm going to make the committee pay with blood!"
Of course Lin Xi would not stop this situation, because it was obvious that the committee was her enemy and even the enemy of all mankind. Principal Di looked very strong, and she wanted to cause trouble for the committee. Of course Lin Xi would be happy to see it happen.
Principal Di and Teacher Gao left, and Principal Di's blood pool and tentacle snakes also disappeared. Everyone present, whether human or ghost, showed an expression of having escaped a disaster. Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning just looked at each other. Lin Xi felt a little regretful. Principal Di looked so strong, she must be very strong. It felt like she was stronger than the previous owner of the funeral home.
But she had just modified the conditions for her to pass the level, allowing so many people to survive. If she were to find an excuse to devour her now...
Then I am really a bit of a non-human being.
