Lost Narrative Poetry

"Hey, did you hear that? It seems that Mr. Hippo no longer teaches physical education?"

"Huh? He doesn't teach physical education anymore, so what are he going to teach? Are he going to be our physics teacher?"

"I don't know either. Let's see what the school arranges next."

When she came to school in the morning, Xia Ran sat in her seat and listened carefully to the conversations of the classmates who had arrived in the classroom early.

After all, this was my first time doing something in the real world. Although I was confident that I was very measured and had indeed cleaned up all traces, nothing would happen. However, he still subconsciously wanted to see if it caused too much trouble.

But just as he had expected - no matter what they discussed along the way or after arriving at school, the content people discussed had nothing to do with what happened last night.

Just like now, the topic among the students around him was about the change of appointment arrangement of a very popular physical education teacher, but he didn't know who the hippo teacher was because he didn't take physical education classes at all.

And not just in school, even when he took out his mobile phone and tried to search for news online, he found that although there were relevant reports in this area, they were taken away with a few strokes of understatement.

Probably what happened last night happened so unconsciously that even the gunshot didn't make many people aware that it was a discordant sound.

First of all, the sound insulation of the bar is good. Originally, this design was to facilitate the group of people to do some cruel things inside, but in the end it became their talisman...

The second reason is that not many people have the experience of frequent contact with firearms. Even if they happen to hear the faint sound of gunfire, they will only subconsciously use their past experience to make assumptions.

In addition, the whole incident did not affect innocent people from beginning to end. Even if the police did find some problems, they were probably happy to suppress the matter and reduce the big problems to minor ones.

Besides, Xia Ran is not the kind of unscrupulous killer who only cares about killing and not burying anyone——

He was kind enough to let the corpses clean up the scene, camouflage them to a certain extent, and then leave some of the more normal corpses behind. The unexplained corpses were transported out by various means and broken into pieces. Evacuate in batches...

This forged a cruel outcome of internal strife among the core members of a gang, or a power struggle in which both parties suffered losses.

Basically, after anyone discovers the scene, they will probably subconsciously think in this direction... Maybe if the police are more competent and conduct a serious investigation, they can still find some clues.

But how is this possible?

This kind of thing is not particularly rare in the red light district. It happens once during breakfast and once during dinner... The police don't have that much energy to focus on this kind of thing.

Another important reason is that other gang forces will quickly annex that territory and then quickly digest it. Those people have no obligation to properly preserve the crime scene for the police to investigate slowly... so it is basically impossible to find out anything.

And from the news, we can also see the official attitude towards this matter - what happened last night did not attract much attention at all, and Xia Ran's decision was also correct. He was not prepared to kill all the gangsters in one night. They have all been saved.

If the mobility is so amazing, then the officials will really be stimulated...

Xia Ran, completely relieved, took out her extracurricular books with satisfaction and prepared to start a new day. But after thinking about it, he felt that he seemed to have overlooked something, so he turned around and looked behind him.

The girl in the back seat had been sitting there for some time, or it should be said that she had been sitting there all along, looking calm and composed, but when she saw him turning around, she also glanced at him.

The two looked at each other in silence for several seconds.

"What's wrong, classmate Xia Ran?"

"Ahem...Sorry, Kato-san, I didn't see you just now, so I didn't say hello to you."

Xia Ran remembered what he had overlooked, but people would not fall twice in the same place, so this time he did not ask when the other party came, because in this case it was obvious that Kato Megumi had arrived in the classroom early. Sit down.

It's just that the level of the "breath masking" skill she possesses may be too high, not A level but at least B+ level. Xia Ran still didn't notice her immediately this time, and only remembered it later.

"Huh? Classmate Xia Ran, what are you talking about? I just came in and sat down..." Kato Kei tilted her head slightly and looked at him with some confusion.

"..."

"..."

What should I say? After all, people stumble, horses stumble, and falling down twice in the same place is normal... right?

Seeing Xia Ran's strange expression, Kato Kei seemed to understand something, and her expression became a little subtle.

But soon, she calmed down and said calmly: "Actually, it's nothing, classmate Xia Ran, I'm used to this kind of thing, it's normal that you didn't notice it... Speaking of which, I really am A very simple man, right?"

Although she was still so regrettable and calm at the beginning, when it came to the back, the girl was probably a little lonely and sad, blurting out that word almost masochistically.

Xia Ran was stunned for a moment, then shook his head decisively, slammed the table hard and said decisively: "No! Kato-san, you are definitely not simple..."

Because the movement was so loud, the class fell silent for a while, and the surrounding students subconsciously looked over. Kato Megumi was a little panicked and whispered his name, trying to make him stop.

However, Xia Ran didn't regard the people around him as human beings at all. When he was doing his own thing, his subconscious would always automatically filter out the irrelevant people around him and regard them as pumpkins.

So he stared at the girl in the back seat intently, took a deep breath, and expressed his true feelings deep in his heart——

"Kato-kun, you are definitely not simple! You have no sense of existence at all!"

"..."

"..."

Kato Megumi looked at him dumbfounded: "You... aren't you going to encourage me?" She was a little touched just now, because the other party actually had such a big reaction because of her self-deprecation, but she didn't expect it to be like this One unfolds.

"Huh? Of course not!" Xia Ran gave her a strange look, "And encouragement or something like that can't be useful at all..."

At this point, Xia Ran seemed to have remembered that he could start from a useful perspective, and Xia Ran quickly said: "By the way, do you want to try adding the suffix "Akarin" at the end of the sentence every time you speak? This should enhance the sense of presence. "

"..."

"..."

"No, I think this will only make me look weird." Kato Megumi took a deep breath and seemed to quickly regain her composure, but she suddenly didn't want to talk to this guy.

"What we want is to be strange! Otherwise, how can we increase the sense of existence... Think about it, do you want to be a person with no sense of existence, or do you want to be a strange person?" Xia Ran followed the instructions.

"Eh? Can't we all do it?" Megumi Kato seemed to have completely returned to normal. The impact of what happened just now seemed to have not existed on her, and her face became paler and less and less individual.

"...That's okay." Xia Ran felt a subtle sense of frustration and sighed, "But don't you think about changing yourself?"

"change yourself?"

"Yes, I think you are so inconspicuous now simply because you are too low-key... You have not joined any clubs or cliques. It seems that you don't even have friends in the class, and you don't talk much. Naturally, no one will pay attention to it.”

Xia Ran also became serious and carefully analyzed the reason for her.

"People's attention is limited, and they won't pay attention to everyone. And since you have no special relationship with everyone in the class and don't have many friends, you will naturally be ignored by others."

There are so many classmates in the class, and if there is one person who is neither his friend nor willing to talk to them, and they have no relationship with each other, then most people will not pay attention to each other, right?

"Then what should I do?" Kato Megumi was slightly confused.

"Hmm...how about adding DA☆ZA at the end of the sentence?" Xia Ran once again put forward his unreliable suggestion.

"..." The girl's expression turned very pale unconsciously.

…

…

After school ended at 3:30 in the afternoon, Xia Ran appeared in the club's activity room very punctually.

But this time, he found that he was actually the third person to arrive at the activity room. Yukinoshita and Hikigaya had already arrived and seemed to be arguing about something. They just said hello when they saw him coming in.

"But, I think Totsuka's idea of ​​inviting me to join the club is right. As long as it can pose a threat to the tennis club members. A new member joining is like a shot in the arm. They should change, right?"

"I don't care whether you quit the service club or not. I just want to remind you. Do you think you can really integrate into the group activities of normal societies? It is impossible for the other party to accept a creature like you."

"What do you mean by a creature like me?" Hikigaya's dead fish eyes looked even more feeble.

"Anyway, you should wake up." Yukinoshita lowered her head to read and said in a more indifferent tone, completely ignoring Hikigaya's whims.

"Okay, then... for Totsuka, is there any way to make the tennis club stronger?" Hikigaya sighed, thought carefully, and asked again.

He didn't know who the Totsuka he was talking about was, but he was so interested in him. Even Xia Ran was a little surprised.

"Let them run until they die, swing until they die, and practice until they die." Yukinoshita said calmly, as if she didn't seem to think this was a problem at all and that there could be any other different answers.

"Isn't this... too scary?" Hikigaya's face changed slightly and he took a few steps back in fear.

"Otherwise? What else can I do besides practicing hard...Are you going to let me do a magic trick for you to make them stronger all of a sudden?" Yukinoshita let out a laugh that sounded like a sigh. "Since this is their ideal, are they not even willing to pay a little price and overcome obstacles for their ideal?"

"But practicing until death or something... doesn't seem like a price at all." Hikigaya subconsciously looked at someone, wanting to ask for help.

"I think Yukinoshita is right. Since it is your ideal, you should do whatever it takes to realize it, even if the cost is your life." Xia Ran gave her opinion with a firm look on her face.

"There's no need to go to this level, you're not a martyr... Xia Ran, if your ideal is hindered, will you really use your own life to achieve it?" Hikigaya smiled bitterly, unable to understand this. Two people.

"Of course not. I am more inclined to use the lives of those who stand in my way to achieve my ideals."
