"Are you sure?" Gin asked.
"No," Chi Feichi said, "so I need to confirm."
Something didn't make sense. He had no contact with Ayaka Urano during this period. He was not sure whether this could produce Stockholm Syndrome.
It is also possible that it was a disguise put on by Urano Ayaka in order to make him relax his vigilance and escape from the control of the organization.
Moreover, even if Urano Ayaka really has Stockholm Syndrome, he still has to confirm whether Urano Ayaka identifies as the 'perpetrator', that is, whether the person Urano Ayaka relies on is the organization or him.
"Why do you suddenly pay attention to her?" Gin turned his attention back to the computer, shut it down, and prepared to leave, "Have you figured out how to arrange it?"
"Enough people who can help confirm intelligence and safety without being alerted..."
In the next two days, the student party went to school, the working party went to work, and the criminal party committed crimes.
…
[October 13th, sunny...]
Uehara Junior High School, in the classroom of Class A of the third year, Ayaka Urano was sitting in the window seat. The pen in her hand was hanging on the open notebook, making virtual drawings without leaving any writing.
The instructor at the base, let’s call him an instructor, the man who taught her reconnaissance told her to remember to delete emails after reading them. In addition, it is best to keep call records, text message records, and photo albums clean. Writing a diary will only expose you. The stupid behavior of keeping a secret to gain some psychological comfort will be at your own risk if the existence of the organization is exposed.
What she fears most now is to hear the words 'at your own risk', which means that she will be chased to death by a group of lunatics in a circle with nowhere to escape.
The Sakata Tamae she saw on the surveillance camera that night was in a desperate and desperate situation. She could recall the whole process with her eyes closed. It was a more suffocating feeling than seeing someone die in front of her.
Fortunately, after that night, she no longer had to stay with those lunatics. Although the guards could play this 'cruel game' with a straight face, they still had sense and would not hurt her.
She lives on the third floor, and only her room in the entire corridor is in use. She can have meals delivered to her room, and can freely take the elevator to any floor other than the first floor. No one disturbs her, no one bullies her, and she even She can take the watcher around to look around. She has even been to the fifth floor where the management and male criminals live. If someone attacks or makes fun of her, the watcher will help her block it.
She just needs to go to 'class' every day and learn what she needs to learn.
Do you want to be proud? She thought she was proud of herself. She took the guards to go around the female criminals. The original purpose was to show the women who had laughed at her who deserved to laugh at whom.
But that time she went there, she found it boring.
It was strange that overnight, she seemed to be separated from that dangerous world. Although she can still remember the fear and anxiety at that time, she feels that it was not that serious.
She began to pay attention to the organization. She heard that the guards were only peripheral members, and even the man responsible for the management of the entire base was only a peripheral member. It was a powerful and mysterious organization. Sometimes she thought, maybe for that powerful As for the mysterious existence, cruelty is normal.
Compared with the deception and rudeness of the criminals, it is much better to guard those who are like employees who stick to their posts, go to and from get off work on time, do not use bad words, and do not bully the criminals inside.
And that person...
Lark.
After that night, she thought of Lark more and more.
She asked Lark to remember to return the necklace to her. After seeing the darkness in the base, she didn't have much hope. She didn't expect Lark to return the necklace and diary to her.
Lark asked her to live away from those people, and Lark asked the watchers to keep her safe.
When she ran away that night, her palms were bruised by the rope. Lark also asked someone to give her medicine. He said he would let her come to school, which he did.
Lark is a very nice guy.
She began to think repeatedly of that face with deep eyebrows and a calm and cold expression, whether it was the front face or the profile half-hidden in the shadows; she thought of the figure who took people through the door in no hurry when they first met; she thought of that A black card nailed into the wall; I think of his unmistakable calmness when he spoke; I think of the next time I saw him, the screen behind him was illuminated, and his face was somewhat blurry in the dimness...
She began to miss each other, and every time the class ended, she would repeatedly think about every bit of contact with Lark. It was very short, but she never felt bored no matter how many times she recalled it. She only felt a little anxious occasionally, which came from the feeling of 'wanting to see but not being able to see'. Anxious.
She no longer felt fearful and uneasy. Thinking of Lark's hoarse voice, she wondered if he had been injured, and felt worried and distressed.
Sometimes when she thought about the nervousness that made her heart skip a beat when Lark approached her that night, she didn't think it was due to fear, it should be some other emotion.
Isn’t this what you like?
When she first entered junior high school, she secretly liked a boy in her class. He was sunny, handsome, and good at sports. But now, that boy's figure and feeling to her have been completely eliminated by another person. Passersby are generally insignificant people.
Lark is like a magic spell, with an attraction that no other man has. The thoughts and emotions in her heart are deeper than ever before, like a volcano suppressing the surging magma. Sometimes she is so anxious that she wants to burn all her reason. Almost exhausted.
This may not be love, but an emotion that she would not readily recognize.
like.
Ayaka Urano still didn't know that she was constantly engaging in dangerous self-suggestion. She pushed herself into the deep pit, spinning the pen between her fingers, staring at the table and thinking about it over and over again, constantly finding reasons that were enough to convince her.
"Urasou-san!"
There was a shout from beside me.
Ayaka Urano came to her senses and looked up at the female teacher who came to the table.
The female teacher in her forties smiled and reminded her gently, "Don't be distracted in class!"
"Sorry, teacher." Ayaka Urano stood up and bowed politely.
Although the kind and peaceful expression of this female teacher always reminded her of Tamae Sakata who deceived her and wanted to kill her, and although she was once a problem student who liked to make things difficult for teachers, Lark said that it would be better for her to get along well with her classmates. Including teachers, and a polite person can easily gain some basic favor, or... disgust.
Uehara Junior High School is a public school. Since her stepfather is an elementary school teacher, she has heard too many things about the advantages and disadvantages of the school.
Public schools recruit students by area, and most of the fees are paid by the state. Rich people will try their best to choose private schools with high tuition but better teaching resources and facilities, or enter national schools with strict examinations, and the rest will go to public schools. , compulsory education is completed step by step, so the education and environment of public schools are also uneven, and whether it is good or bad depends on the region.
If the residents in the surrounding area are from relatively well-off families and the students have similar backgrounds, and parents will exercise restraint, bullying will rarely occur.
If there are violent societies in the surrounding area, the public security was not good in the past, or the residents are mixed, the environment in the school will be much more complicated and chaotic. Compared with private schools that can expel students, public schools are not allowed to expel students before compulsory education is completed. , which also leads to many dawdling people staying in school.
Uehara Junior High School prefers the latter. Her school in Kumamoto is pretty good. She is also a problem student and cannot be bullied. However, she has learned about bullying and xenophobia in similar schools from her former bosozoku friends. She entered the school for the first time yesterday. She already felt excluded in the classroom. When she introduced herself, two unfriendly eyes kept staring at her.
She is now in the third grade of junior high school, and small groups in the class have been formed. It will be more difficult for her as an outsider to integrate, and the situation of being about to enter a higher school will obviously not bring study pressure to those who are not willing to enter a higher school. She has a hunch that what will happen next The days will never be calm.
Of course, this does not prevent her from making some changes - don't cause trouble for the teacher, be polite and courteous, and win the favor of other people and the teacher without appearing too childish.
Yes, that's childish.
During this period, she came into contact with Lark, who acted calmly, and the polite guard, as well as those criminals who were covered in thorns. Among those criminals, few of them would 'pretend to be cool' like they did before. The behavior of swearing is really vulgar.
"Just be careful next time," the female teacher said in a gentler tone, "Please sit down."
"Tsk..." A girl sitting on the seat next to the corridor snorted in a voice that Ayaka Urano could hear deliberately.
The female teacher turned around and looked around. She wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and endured it.
Urano Ayaka didn't express her position and sat down obediently.
She also has something worthy of attack. Yesterday morning, she went to the principal to go through the enrollment procedures. She vaguely heard some hidden meaning. It seemed that a congressman had come out to say hello, and the organization arranged a residence for her nearby. Naturally, there would be no problem in enrolling, and The principal completely ignored her short, dyed red hair.
It wasn't until she heard the discussion before school last night that she learned that this school does not restrict hair dyeing, but requires girls not to tie their hair in a ponytail when they have long hair. The reason is that exposing the back of the neck and forehead will stimulate the sexual impulses of adolescent boys. If it is short hair, and It doesn't reach her shoulders. Unfortunately, the ends of her hair just reach her shoulders.
If someone wants to bully her, she can handle it, but she still has to ask Lark what he means...
This was the last class before the last weekend. At 3:40 in the afternoon, the female teacher announced that get out of class was over and the holiday had begun. She also called Ayaka Urao to the school green area to talk.
"Urasou-san, are you still adapting to school life?"
"Thanks for the teacher relationship, I think the school is very good." Ayaka Urumo looked well-behaved.
The female teacher felt more at ease. At first, seeing that Ayaka Urano had flamboyant red hair and that she was a related person who had been greeted by someone above, she thought she would be a thorn in the side. However, she did not expect that the little girl in front of her had such a good personality, "That's good. If Ozawa and the others bully you, then come and tell the teacher. If nothing happens, go back. Have a happy holiday."
"Have a nice holiday, teacher. I'll go back first." Ayaka Urano bowed slightly to the female teacher, turned around and walked towards the teaching building, took out her mobile phone and lowered her head to send an email.
[Lark, I am Pu Sheng. Can you tell me what you want me to do? If someone bullies me, can I fight back? 】
"Ding dong."
The email was responded to very quickly:
[If you don’t fight back when you are bullied, are you a fool? ——Raki]
Urano Ayaka: "..."
I always feel that what Luck means is: Are you an idiot for asking me such a stupid question?
But it would be nice to fight back.
