So he turned and left. The moment he turned around, the illusion before his eyes collapsed, as cleanly as if it had never existed.
The confusion of memory and time and space made Ji feel even more headache. He raised his hand to cover his forehead, trying to reduce the pain in this way.
But it was all in vain.
"Are you okay?"
At some point, the trio that were originally playing and exercising on the playground had noticed him and were walking towards him.
It was the panda who spoke, his fluffy double-haired panda paws resting on Ji's body, bringing comfort to the young man while also bringing a bit of heaviness.
After hearing this voice, Ji was a little dazed. For a moment, he was unable to distinguish between memory and reality. He opened his mouth and muttered something in a low voice.
But no sound came out, and he lowered his head, with the wide hood covering his entire face and completely blocking his lips.
So no one heard what he said - no one even noticed that he spoke.
The panda patted the young man's back twice with its big paw, then turned to look at its companions, "What's wrong with him?"
Maki tore her eyes away from Ji, looked at the panda, and then looked at Ji again.
The young man he was staring at did not react at all.
After a while, she looked away and frowned, "I don't know. Why don't we take him to ask Teacher Nitro?"
"Salmon, salmon." Goujuanji nodded, and his white hair swayed up and down along with his movements, showing a liveliness that was inconsistent with his owner's appearance.
He just swayed left and right in front of the young man, but the man didn't react at all, like a dummy.
"Let's go." Maki took the wooden stick she used for training and walked ahead.
Goujuanji glanced at the panda standing next to the young man in black clothes and hood, lowered his eyes and thought for less than two seconds, then quickly ran away, leaving the panda behind without having time to move.
The tall black and white beast looked at the receding backs of its companions, its beady black eyes filled with confusion.
So...he has to carry this person to the school infirmary?
The panda opened its eyes wide after figuring out what was going on. It turned its head to look at Ji, who still had his head lowered and his expression could not be seen clearly. Finally, it could only resign itself to its fate and put its paw in front of Ji, asking, "Can you still walk?"
No response.
It was like a stone thrown off a cliff, without causing any ripples or even an echo.
The panda remained in this position for a minute until Maki's voice came from the front:
"Panda, what are you doing--?"
The panda raised his head and looked over, only to see the dark green-haired girl and the silver-haired boy standing not far away, looking back at him. Gojuan Ji even gave him a "come on" gesture with an expressionless face.
The aho-hair on his head swayed with his movements, making the bear curious.
The panda raised its other paw and waved it, then looked down at the young man who didn't react.
The bear's paw waved in front of him.
No response.
The panda sighed and said, "This is not what I want to do."
After he finished speaking, he reached out his hand and picked up the young man who was wearing a black hood and whose face could not be seen clearly.
After picking him up, he discovered:
It seemed that it was not the black hood that blocked his face. Under the hood was a face surrounded by layers of white bandages.
The panda stared at the bandage for two seconds, then it suddenly realized.
He understood, and probably thought that this person must have accidentally experienced something terrible and was disfigured.
