"Can you tell me why you committed suicide?"
The young man paused, turned around, and lowered his eyes to look at the white and slender hand holding his sleeve. The fingertips were shiny and pink. His eyes gradually moved upward, falling into the clear black and white eyes.
His pupils were as dark as a deep pool, and he said nothing for a long time.
"What's the use of knowing it?" He leaned down, got close to her face, and raised his lips sarcastically: "You are just one of them, and you entered this hell-"
He said word by word: "Who can't escape?"
Suddenly, his lips grew wider and wider, and two scarlet tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
The rest of the lights on the roof began to flicker and flicker on and off.
With a "pop" sound, all the lights went out at the same time.
The shrill and sinister laughter resounded throughout the space.
He tilted his head and looked at her, his dark eyes were deep and hollow, and his smile was getting weirder and weirder.
"Run quickly and get out of here, or I'll kill you..."
The tone is deep and terrifying.
If it were normal, Xu Zhixi would probably be frightened to tears and run away in a panic when seeing this scene.
but--
The girl hugged the boy's lean waist, feeling the cold and cold breath coming from him, and promised softly in a very steady tone: "I will make sure those who hurt you are punished at all costs."
Her soft and warm body pressed against him.
The young man froze.
"Why?"
He wondered.
"Because I... have a crush on you."
This sentence was like a ground-shattering shock. In the silent pool, a huge rock fell, causing a splash of water ten feet high.
The young man pushed her away suddenly, turned into a wisp of smoke, and instantly disappeared into Xu Zhixi's arms.
…
Xu Zhixi did not leave the archives directly. Instead, she rummaged through the suicide lists collected by Qin Zhi and others one by one.
After she came out of the archives room, she met Qin Zhi who was in a mess.
She gasped and said: "Where did you just run? I just noticed that you were missing without paying attention. I went to look for you, but I was attacked by many ghosts. Fortunately, they seemed to be sealed by something and were quite strong. weak."
"The archives, I stay in the archives all the time."
Xu Zhixi took out several files, which she roughly found based on year and class, including Jin'an's file.
There are different grades and different classes.
But one thing they have in common is that the grades marked after their names are all A-level.
…
Early the next morning, four players gathered in a deserted corridor during get out of class time.
Shen Miao and Hu Rong first talked about their confinement last night.
They were put into a dark room with no access except the door. There was only one chair in the room, no windows, and no lights.
Very depressing.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Zhi and Xu Zhixi reported the files of those students who committed suicide.
Xu Zhixi responded: "I brought them all out, but I haven't thought about what this level represents..."
"Is it the result?"
Xu Zhixi shook her head and denied Hu Rong's guess, "There are also art students and sports students here. Not only that, there are also some students with middle and lower grades."
"Hiss—" Hu Rong sighed, "Then I have no idea what this means..."
Shen Miao looked deep in thought, "Perhaps, if we know our level, we can guess something. Tonight, we will all go to the archives to take a look."
…
The class bell rang, and Xu Zhixi was called to the podium.
The chemistry teacher scolded him with sharp eyebrows: "Last night, you were the only one who didn't hand in the exercise book. Can you explain why?"
Of course I can’t write...
Not feeling well, having a headache, forgetting... countless excuses lingered in her mouth.
Until a clear voice whispered in her ear: "It's too easy to say, I don't want to write."
Immediately, Xu Zhixi followed his words and said, "Of course, I think these questions are too simple, so I don't want to write them."
The arrogant words caused an uproar.
The girl's back was straightened, and she looked at the chemistry teacher calmly.
The chemistry teacher frowned and pushed up the frames of his glasses.
The last time he heard this passage was from that indifferent and lonely boy.
Soon, he thought of something again, raised his lips imperceptibly, and said in a cold voice: "Go back."
Xu Zhixi returned to her seat, and a translucent young figure floated in the air and followed her.
"Do you know why he didn't pursue it?"
The girl shook her head.
"Because he regards you as the second me... I have seen your grades and you are very similar to me..."
The handsome young man smiled meaningfully and said with a hint of intimidation in his voice:
"But if you stay here, you'll end up like me."
Xu Zhixi couldn't answer him because as long as she made a little noise, the students around her would notice.
…
However, in the test that day, the boy took back the sentence that Xu Zhixi was very similar to him.
"Did you do it on purpose, or are you really not good at it? You were able to perfectly avoid all the correct answers to the multiple-choice question."
The pen tip that Xu Zhixi held paused, and she looked at the young man with disgust in his eyes with resentment.
As a pure-bred liberal arts student, materialization only existed in her mind for a brief moment, leaving no trace.
She picked up a pen and wrote six words on the calculation paper: I really can't.
The young man was a little surprised, "Then how did you do so well in the last test? I'm warning you, if you don't write the test paper well, your punishment will not be just confinement."
what is that?
Xu Zhixi continued to write on the paper.
But this time the boy did not answer. Instead, he directly held her hand holding the pen and filled in the answers on the answer sheet.
A cold aura enveloped Xu Zhixi. When she looked up, she could see the boy's translucent face. It was a little less flirtatious and sharp than that of an adult. The boy was more like a soft piece of ice, cold and distant, but also duplicitous. .
He seemed indifferent, but he kept chirping beside her.
"You just came here. Leave as soon as you can. Also, take the exam well before you leave. Your grades must not decline."
After he finished filling in all the answers, he let go of Xu Zhixi's hand.
Suddenly he looked into the girl's beautiful smiling eyes and said unnaturally: "I'm just kind and kind to remind you."
Suddenly, he remembered the girl's confession last night, frowned slightly and said, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't respond to your feelings. But after all, you... have a crush on me, I just want to remind you."
He turned his face to hide it, but he didn't know that his red ears were exposed.
Do ghosts have red ears?
"Okay, the exam is over, you can take care of yourself."
The boy floated out of the classroom as if running away.
Xu Zhixi looked at the filled-in answer sheet, and the tip of her pen landed on the still blank name column.
She turned her eyes to the invigilator who was looking at the other side of the podium, and slipped a piece of paper to the back table.
The note said——
Write my name on your answer sheet, and I will write yours on mine.
Although, her boy didn't want her to take any risks.
But she had to figure out for herself what the different punishments in Jin'an's mouth were.
In other words, what is the punishment of Class A?
There are two pieces of archival paper placed in the empty drawer.
One is from Shen Jinan.
The other one belongs to Xu Zhixi.
There is a bright A-level mark behind her name.
