Chapter 710 Carnival in the Dark
The classroom, a dark classroom, a classroom with only one person.
The person sitting alone in the classroom was flipping through the book in her hand, but the finger pressing on the page never turned the page, indicating that she was not reading.
A secret sound came from the corridor outside the window. It was a blind spot of the surveillance camera more than ten meters away from the classroom. A burst of sobbing and low insults and fighting sounds came intermittently.
Such sounds made the people in the classroom tremble slightly, but fortunately no one noticed her situation at this time.
The sobbing gradually turned into a strange cry of fear, and the sound was a little distorted.
An hour later, it was completely dark, and the lights in the corridor and classroom turned on automatically.
The windows were a little hazy because of the mist at night, so that people passing by could not see the outline clearly.
Bang, the door of the classroom was pushed open.
A girl with messy and dirty hair, torn clothes, blood on her face, and bruises on her arms and legs walked in.
At this time, the girl who was sitting stood up in a panic. She wanted to support the other person, but was broken away by the other person.
"Fengxiang." She called out her name, but the girl seemed not to hear it. She sat back in her seat like a broken doll thrown away, and then lay on the table in a daze.
The time for evening self-study passed slowly, and it was 9:30 in the evening. At this time, the patrolling teacher passed by here and asked the students in the classroom to go back to rest.
"Teacher, Fengxiang..." The girl who was reading wanted to explain something.
The teacher saw the girl lying on the table in the classroom, knocked on the table, and saw the girl's face full of wounds and blood, and his tone changed slightly.
"Go back and wash well, and ask for leave tomorrow." Then he remembered something.
"Or rest in the medical room for a night." He found a female colleague, and the two took the girl to the medical room.
"Are you Fengxiang's friend?" Seeing that the two were staying in the same classroom, the teacher couldn't help asking.
"Well, Fengxiang and I have known each other since childhood, and we graduated from the same elementary school before."
"Is that so, then you stay here with her tonight, how about it." Although there are also staff on duty in the medical room, considering that the staff on duty may not have the energy to take care of her, the teacher suggested so.
"I will."
"That's it." Then the two teachers left.
The air became quiet again, with only the smell of disinfectant and cold lights in the medical room.
Looking at Fengxiang, who had cleaned the wound on the bed, bandaged it and treated it, the girl sat next to her and wanted to say a few words to her, but Fengxiang looked at the light on the ceiling and never answered.
The night passed peacefully.
When she woke up the next day, the girl found that Fengxiang was no longer in the bed. After asking the staff on duty, she found that she had left early in the morning.
The girl didn't see Fengxiang for several days.
Two weeks later, Fengxiang came to the class again. Now it was the second year of junior high school, and many students began to practice the extraordinary sequence, condense the core, and enter the sequence one.
"Fengxiang, have you condensed the core too?" Sensing the change in the other party's breath, the girl congratulated her happily.
Unfortunately, such a greeting was ignored by the other party again, and he just walked straight past her.
"Haha, you are really being so cold and flattering. She probably doesn't even think highly of you."
"She is going to be a big shot in the future. Haven't you heard?"
"Heard what?"
"Last month, a teacher from Edes Academy came to our school to give a speech. Fengxiang seized the opportunity and 'ran into' the teacher in the corridor. She also tried hard to show her talents, which made the teacher nod and praise her. He said that she has good talent and can enter Edes Academy in the future if she studies hard."
"You also know that because of the cooperation between Edes Academy and northern universities, junior high schools in various regions of the north can send a small number of outstanding students to visit and study in the schools on the list every year in exchange activities. Of course, each school can accept a limited number of people, and the top prestigious schools are very tight, but if you know a teacher in this university, you can easily get a place."
"Such a good thing has actually always been the benefit of the top student in the grade, but Fengxiang used crooked means to snatch it away this time. She is really ambitious." At the end, the people around him made a burst of sarcastic sounds.
"You haven't even passed the entrance exam yet, and you're already trying to curry favor with others.
" "You're so scheming. I would have tried this earlier." "Even if I didn't go to Edes Academy in the future, this experience would be too glorious. I don't know how many people would envy you." "Maybe I can meet many handsome guys and geniuses there. If I can fall in love with one of them, that would be..." "Don't do that. What if she's really diligent and studious? If she gets into Edes in the future, wouldn't we all have to curry favor with her?" "Come on, Edes Academy is now the number one in Four Leaf Crystal, the school where Her Highness Heshia graduated. I don't know how many geniuses and chaebol children are vying to get there. How could it be your turn or mine?" ... The girl didn't have the heart to listen to what happened afterwards, because it was too far away from her. Their school was not a famous junior high school. It was rare for the number one student in the grade to get into the top 20 schools in Four Leaf Crystal. In the next few days, she tried to say hello to Fengxiang again, but unfortunately, she ignored her every time. Fengxiang must be hating me for not helping her at that time, the girl thought silently. She was not such a strong person, and was even particularly cowardly. She did not dare to help her friends when bullying occurred. She could only sit in the classroom trembling and wait for everything to end. Two weeks passed. The girl often saw Fengxiang with wounds and bandages on her body. She often missed some classes and her grades also declined. She wanted to persuade her, but she was afraid of getting angry and being targeted by those small groups in the grade. ... A month has passed since what happened that night. As usual, the girl stayed in the classroom to read, and the classmates left one by one as the night darkened.
She was alone again. She raised her eyes from the paper and wondered if she should go back early. Because of what happened before, she was a little afraid to stay alone in the classroom.
At this time, there was a dull sound in the corridor outside the window, mixed with some kind of shouting, but it was too short and was suppressed before it could expand.
What happened? The girl stood up and wanted to go outside to see, but when she thought of what happened a month ago, her feet were welded in place.
At this time, a quarrel was heard.
"Fengxiang you!" The voice sounded a little bit gnashing of teeth and fear.
Then there was a crisp slap, which was particularly clear even in the classroom.
"You actually brought people from other schools here--" Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by another slap.
At this time, the girl finally plucked up the courage, quietly moved her feet, poked her head out of the classroom, and looked for the source of the sound. Finally, in the dead corner of the corridor, she saw several people gathered together, led by Fengxiang.
Unlike in the past, Fengxiang was standing among several unfamiliar figures at this moment. From their clothes, it was clear that they were not students of this school. Some of them were even social personnel.
The person who had bullied Fengxiang was now slumped on the ground, with blood on the corner of his mouth and two red slap marks on his face.
She tried to stand up and resist, but the people who besieged her would not tolerate it. They kicked her to the ground with a few kicks. One of the girls with dyed hair directly dragged her hair on the ground and threw her to the corner.
"She is really a piece of trash." Someone laughed and cursed.
Then all kinds of dirty words were brought out. Those despicable descriptions in the past made the girl lying on the ground pale. She did bully Fengxiang, but facing a more rogue outsider, she was left with fear and uneasiness.
"Don't look at her now, Fengxiang, you must not be soft-hearted."
"If she finds a chance, she will only retaliate more severely. It's useless to be soft-hearted. Come on, take a photo of her and her identity and post it online for everyone to witness."
Watching this scene from a distance, the girl wanted to say that this was wrong, but fear imprisoned her so much that she dared not move, just like she didn't dare to leave the classroom door to save Fengxiang that night.
Everything seemed to be replayed last time, but this time the protagonist was changed.
Two hours later, the crowd gradually dispersed. Of course, they found the girl hiding by the classroom door and peeking, but they ignored her and just smiled at her, then walked away.
After everything was over, Fengxiang returned to the classroom to get her things. At this time, only the two of them were alone, and the girl finally had the opportunity to ask about the identities of those people.
"They..." Fengxiang inserted her fingers into her short hair, straightened it a little, and then rolled her eyes to look at the girl.
"They are my companions, we are all followers of Her Highness Heshia."
"Her Highness Heshia?" The girl was surprised. How could this be possible? Her Highness Heshia was a noble singer. How could she be associated with such a person?
"Oh, you really don't understand the outside world at all." Fengxiang walked past the girl and held her fingers on her shoulders. The fingertips sank slightly into the flesh, causing the girl to feel a little pain.
"Just like this little white rabbit who doesn't understand the world, it looks innocent, but it is actually an accomplice." She whispered in the girl's ear, piercing the most fearful and worried part of the girl's heart.
"Oh, I got it right."
"You know, every time you greet me, your friendly look makes me feel sick."
"You know everything, but you pretend not to understand. You are very cowardly, but you want to show a kind and caring look to outsiders to satisfy your hypocritical kindness. You just want to be a good girl in everyone's eyes, and don't want to take any responsibility and pressure at all."
"I..." The girl's face turned pale, and she felt so uneasy and panicked that she had never felt before.
"It's okay, I won't hit you, I just said what I have been thinking." Fengxiang put down her hand and walked past the girl.
"Where are you going?" When Fengxiang was about to leave the classroom, the girl asked behind her.
"Oh, is it necessary to tell you this?" After saying that, Fengxiang smiled and suddenly looked up again.
"Are you very curious?" Not only did she not leave, but she turned back.
"I almost forgot that we live very close to each other and we were elementary school classmates."
"Would you like to come over and see what kind of life I live and where those people come from, hehe." Fengxiang's voice was like a devil's teasing.
"Don't refuse. Although you talk less now, I still know you. In fact, you admire Her Highness Heshia very much, because her experience has many similarities with ours."
"Let's go. I'll take you to see it tonight." Fengxiang grabbed the other's schoolbag and half-forced the girl out of the classroom.
Half an hour later, the two got off the hovercraft. This is a corner of the city, but there are no bright lights around, as if it is a deliberately created dark environment.
Various people wearing strange clothes and avant-garde styles gathered here. Some played electromagnetic skateboards and raced back and forth between various buildings. Some waved fluorescent blades and competed in the battlefield. There were all kinds of people cheering and screaming around. There were also many young children on the side. They were excited to play card duels. On the abandoned metal platform in the distance, a group of people wearing vests beat drums, played guitars, and sang rock songs. If you look closely, you can find that these songs are all adapted from Heshia's album.
Compared to the prosperity under the spotlight, people here seem to prefer this kind of revelry and venting in the dark. Abandoned beverage cans and bottles are everywhere on the ground. Some of them use graffiti spray to paint "famous quotes" on the walls and the ground, and some have the symbol of the night flower tattooed on their bodies, or the outline of the black moon and black wings printed on their backs.
If it were just these, it could only be said that everyone gathered together to revel, but when the police cars turned on the lights and issued warnings, these people did not leave, but shouted more excitedly. They seemed to have found the meaning of life at this moment. Some people began to throw bottles at the police cars, and then ignited and sprinkled flames. Others lifted their fluorescent blue and bright purple coats and drew out the double swords at their waists. One sword was brightly lit with the bright yellow "Heshia" and the other was brightly lit with the emerald green "Tilan". They waved them brightly in the dark night, attracting screams and cheers.
Then these people rushed forward regardless of anything and chopped down the riot control unit in the air. The whole process was recorded by many people present on their personal terminals, who cheered and applauded. Faced with such a scene, the police were also under increasing pressure. They fired warning shots, but they could not really shoot because they had already learned their lesson.
Once the shooting was done, the next day, various media would report that the police shot and injured a "Heshia fan". This was a slander and suppression of the famous singers in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region and even the Southern Star Region.
Under the situation of being afraid of the consequences, it was inevitable that they would fall into a stalemate. The truth was always like this, easily covered up by various rumors, and
a lot of confusion and selfishness were also disguised as kindness. If it were other singers, they would probably be able to use their own groups to reprimand and correct them. Unfortunately, in the past few years since Heshia disappeared, this position of jurisdiction has been temporarily vacant, giving many people with ulterior motives an opportunity to
take advantage of it. Especially those young people who are still in the growth stage, who cannot get recognition from social work, and at this stage are in a rebellious period with a strong demand for dignity, and are more likely to be influenced by such remarks and behaviors, and thus act blindly.
Unfortunately, the parties involved cannot listen to these truths, and when the number of people reaches a certain level, even if someone feels that something is wrong, it is easy to be coerced by the people around them and step into this restless carnival unknowingly.
