The third stop from the end was Daoya First High School. Su Mingan met his homeroom teacher Xia Jiawen.
Xia Jiawen was dressed up nicely today, in a suit and tie, holding flowers, standing at the school gate, not knowing who he was waiting for.
"Student Su, you skipped classes to do charity work." Xia Jiawen saw the bread in Su Mingan's hand and said, "Do your best, and I will forget that you don't ask for leave every day."
Su Mingan's gaze was fixed on the rose in Xia Jiawen's arms.
"Hush." Xia Jiawen immediately waved his hand: "Today is a very important day for me."
Su Mingan glanced inside the school gate. In addition to the students playing ball, there was also a tall female teacher standing there. It seemed that Xia Jiawen was interested in her and was waiting for people to get off work at the school gate with a rose in her arms.
"Teacher Xia..." Su Mingan said.
"Go away, don't stand here, you light bulb." Xia Jiawen waved his hands repeatedly.
Su Mingan coughed and left with Li Mingyue. He would not remind Xia Jiawen that he should not wear a suit with shorts when confessing his love.
"——You haven't been to class these few days. I have compiled all the cultural knowledge you lack into an electronic document and sent it to you. Remember to read it and don't waste your studies!"
Xia Jiawen's voice came from behind.
Su Mingan waved and continued walking forward.

[TE7·Perfect clearance progress: 25%]
…
At the penultimate stop, in an abandoned library, Su Mingan met a blond young businessman. He made a deal with the blond businessman and obtained many letters from him - all relics scattered in the ruins.
Su Mingan thought that perhaps there might be some useful information in these relics.
…
The last stop is the square in the center of the city.
As soon as the moon rose, the pale-faced people gathered around. The white pigeons in the square fluttered up and flew over the old clock tower and old trees. Su Mingan sat by the fountain, looking through the things in his schoolbag to see if there was any useful information.
He took out paper after paper:
A beautiful wedding photo with a date from several years ago written on the back. The bride and groom in the photo are smiling happily, with no special message.
A handwritten poster that must have been posted on the street reads [A beautiful girl can be exchanged for four loaves of bread], with the transaction address and number written below.
A letter that seemed to have been blown up, with scribbled words on it: [Xiaoyong, your father's illness has improved a lot recently, and your grandmother's skill in making noodles has been passed down. Now your family is very happy and waiting for you to come home. Come back as soon as possible, okay?]
A postcard with a roller coaster on it, torn in half, with blood stains: [Mom, where are you? Why didn't you come back after you went out to find food yesterday? You come back every day. Mom, I heard bad guys knocking on the door, they seem to be coming in...]
Su Mingan looked for a while, these were all relics abandoned in the ruins. When he had almost finished looking through the things in his backpack, he finally found one that was related to him.
…
A torn piece of paper:
[White morning glory flowers mean the birth of a miracle. The blessings of the world will be engraved in your soul forever. I wish you a bright life, good health and happiness. For all eternity.
For generations, for generations.
Forever and ever, forever and ever.
Please let me find you, please let me wait for you.
The white bird will guide me, the black bird will remember me. I wish to become a bird as well, praying for the day when the highest word is established, praying for the day when miracles are born!
——God, please grant us forgiveness.
(Simple drawing: A stick figure holding a long sword pierces a bird with a long narrow tail feather)]
…
The writer should be a fanatic of the gods. Su Mingan only noticed this note because of the mention of "morning glory flower".
...This simple drawing is quite interesting. A person is killing a bird. What does this imply?
Su Mingan packed his schoolbag and sat by the fountain, with the water gurgling behind him. Li Mingyue was still distributing relief supplies, and seeing Su Mingan was lazy, she didn't say anything.
People were coming and going, and the loudspeakers in the square were broadcasting the daily news:
"Recently, the number of people committing suicide by jumping off buildings has been increasing. Suicide is a great disrespect to fate and is not conducive to the spread of positive emotions in society. Please cherish life and refuse suicide, and your life will become more and more fulfilling..."
suicide?
Su Mingan thought about it. He had heard a lot of news about suicides by jumping off buildings. Perhaps people couldn't accept the end of the world and couldn't continue to live.
The radio was still playing soothing music: "Please cherish life and live positively. Please believe that life will become better and better..."
“Bang!”
There was a loud bang and Su Mingan turned his head to look.
"——You don't have money to buy tobacco, get out!"
A skinny old man was pushed to the ground, scratching his head like a patient who had just quit smoking: "Give me tobacco, give me tobacco... Please, please..."
However, the man selling tobacco had no mercy and kicked the old man again, telling him to get out.
Everyone around him avoided the grief-stricken old man, and even those wearing gold and silver did not help him.
Most people were wearing thin, ragged clothes, passing by like refugees, struggling to even have enough food and clothing, and their eyes had long lost their light. Some bowed their heads and coughed, with huge lumps on their bodies. Some fell on the side of the road, staring at the begging coins in the bowl, immersed in the fantasy dream created by tobacco, drooling.
"Hehehe, so happy, so happy..."
They rolled on the ground, hugging their broken bodies, and smiling happily in their spiritual joy.
