Pollution throughout the territory

At 3:40 in the afternoon, in the psychological consultation room, there was a desk and two people sitting opposite each other.

"that……"

The psychology teacher pushed up the round glasses on the bridge of his nose with some embarrassment and looked at the decadent man in front of him.

She has shoulder-length short hair and wears casual clothes. Although she has no makeup on her face, her facial features are delicate and her appearance is very beautiful. She is probably about the same age as Xia Ren, and should not be more than twenty-five years old.

"I am a useless person, I can't do anything. The house I live in, the money I spend, and even this job were all given to me by the women around me. People like me still have the need to live. ?"

Xia Ren raised his head, with uncontrollable sadness in his eyes.

The psychology teacher opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

If the situation were different, she might have despised such an obvious softie in her heart, but this person seemed to be really suffering from it.

"but……"

She wanted to find the right words to communicate with the other person.

"Obviously as a teacher, I stood on the podium, but I didn't know how to teach at all. I even couldn't understand some of the things in the textbooks. I originally wanted to leave and simply change my job, but I I don’t want to give up the opportunity to get up close and personal with so many girls aged 16 or 17..."

"enough!"

The psychology teacher patted the table subconsciously.

This guy is a complete scumbag!

"Are you the geography teacher named Xia who just joined today? If there is nothing important, please don't disturb my work."

She didn't want to say a word to this scumbag anymore.

"Actually, I'm still hesitating."

Xia Ren lowered his eyebrows and said in frustration: "Since Teacher Yu also dislikes me so much, it seems that I really have no need to live."

A heavy sigh sounded in the consultation room. Xia Ren slowly pulled out his chair and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment."

The young teacher Yu struggled for a while, fearing that Xia Ren would really commit suicide because of this. After all, his expression and temperament did not want to be fake, so he said, "Tell me about your problem again."

After speaking, he walked aside and poured him a glass of water.

Xia Ren sat down again and looked at the disposable water glass in front of him, which was filled with a bright red suspicious liquid. He hesitated, picked it up and took a sip.

It's hot, but there's no weird smell, just like ordinary mineral water.

"I want to die."

He said.

Teacher Yu returned to his seat. Probably because he felt hot, he took off his woolen sweater and placed it on the table between the two of them.

She also wore a black autumn coat underneath, but it was a little thin compared to the current indoor temperature.

"I think you can try to be more cheerful, don't talk about depressing things all the time, how about trying a few words of positive encouragement?"

Xia Ren pondered for two seconds: "I want to live, I want to live."

Teacher Yu: "It always feels worse..."

As she spoke, she crossed her hands on her chest, grabbed the hem of her clothes, took off her autumn clothes, and placed them on the table between the two of them.

Now, only her underwear was left on her upper body.

Xia Ren remained silent and stared at her for a long time.

Teacher Yu felt uncomfortable with his eyes. He lowered his head in confusion and asked, "Is there anything on my clothes?"

Xia Ren didn't answer.

According to this development, it is estimated that she will be able to strip herself naked in the next conversation, but in that case, when the pollution records are spread in the future, this part will probably not be sent out.

He reluctantly took out the untriggered old seal from Liang Wan from his pocket, looked at the other side again, and then put the old seal on the table where the clothes were placed.

The pattern of a half-pointed star instantly appeared on the white paper. At the same time, the clothes on the table disappeared and the liquid in the cup turned transparent. Opposite me, Teacher Yu sat there neatly dressed, looking at the white paper curiously. changes that have occurred.

"On a whim, I'll show you a magic trick."

Xia Ren explained casually and then stood up.

"I'm sorry for taking up so much of your time. I just suddenly thought about it. Goodbye."

"Uh...oh."

Xia Ren's behavior was a bit inexplicable, and Teacher Yu didn't stop him and watched him leave the consulting room.

"What a weird guy. Is this invisible ink?"

She was alone in the room, holding the old seal in front of her eyes and looking at it, but she couldn't see any way for a long time.

…

…

The weather was still gloomy. Although it had rained last night, the dark clouds overhead showed no sign of dispersing, blocking the warm sunshine on the other side.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, the students had finished class and were heading to the cafeteria to prepare for dinner. Xia Ren found Liu Xiuxiu and told him about the situation he encountered in the psychological consultation room.

"That psychology teacher is an ordinary person and should have nothing to do with this matter, but I saw hallucinations."

This is the first time since they entered the school that something unusual has been discovered.

"It was the same when I was in the third period. The teacher who was giving the lecture suddenly lost his temper and took off his clothes and jumped up and down on the stage. Fortunately, I paid attention and saw that the other students were still attending class honestly. I took out the old seal and tried it first.”

Liu Xiuxiu took out an old seal that had been triggered and wanted to hand it to Xia Ren for inspection. The latter did not accept it, but took a half step back with a slightly disgusted expression. Liu Xiuxiu reacted and quickly put the old seal back up, smiling awkwardly. Said: "I forgot that you are afraid of this thing."

"Have you figured out what's going on?"

"No."

Liu Xiuxiu shook her head.

Xia Ren frowned and pondered for a long time.

Things are starting to get troublesome.

The hanging rope will only lead people to commit suicide, and creating hallucinations is beyond its capabilities, so there must be other infected entities in this school.

Under normal circumstances, he could still convince people with reason, either relying on logic or physics, and he had never failed. But now, they didn't know who the enemy was or where they were, which was very uncomfortable.

"By the way, where is Liang Wan? Didn't we agree to meet up during dinner? Why haven't you come yet?"

Xia Ren watched the students coming and going around him. The two of them had been waiting here for more than ten minutes. Logically speaking, she should arrive first for physical education class.

"I'll call Sister Liang Wan."

Liu Xiuxiu took out her mobile phone, dialed and chatted for a few words, then said to Xia Ren with some embarrassment, "She's lost."

"..."

Half an hour later, they finally found Liang Wan near the girls' toilet.

The three of them reviewed the information again, and Liang Wan said in surprise: "I may have experienced hallucinations during the third period."

"Maybe?" Xia Ren looked at her confused.

"I just led a group of people to the playground, and then one student suddenly said that he wanted to see a big stone smashed into his chest, and then the whole class shouted "The big stone is broken into his chest."

"Then you did it?"

Xia Ren thought she wouldn't be so stupid.

"How can it be."

Liang Wan said: "I searched around the playground but couldn't find a suitable stone, so I gave up."

"..."

Xia Ren seriously suggested: "I think it is necessary for you to communicate with other physical education teachers about the teaching content."

Liu Xiuxiu agreed on the sidelines.

"Have you ever encountered this kind of situation before? Could it be related to the death of Xu Qiang's family this morning? Is it possible that it was done by that ignorant person?" Xia Ren then asked.

Liang Wan thought for a while and said: "There are quite a few contained objects and infected bodies that can create hallucinations, but the Elderly People... don't seem to have done it, and there are no relevant records."

"Why are you so sure? Who are the members of the Youthful Association?" Xia Ren asked.

He only learned the name of this organization today, but it might be related to "those people" the mask mentioned. Even if the other party didn't want to tell him, he had to ask.

"Well..."

Liang Wan seemed a little hesitant: "I can't explain a word or two specifically. For example, if one day the superiors asked me to investigate an ordinary person, it might be related to infected bodies or contained objects. And if I were asked to investigate If you investigate a district council member, you can be 100% certain that the person is a member of the Youth League."

"You mean, all their members are..."

This is so exciting, no wonder they can compete with the Foundation.

"According to uncertain information, one of the criteria for joining the Ageless Society is to have assets worth hundreds of billions. As you can tell from the name, their goal is probably immortality. This is a game only played by rich people."

No wonder Liang Wan was so shocked when she saw Spider Silk at Xu Qiang's house. No wonder she always felt that what happened at Liming Middle School had nothing to do with the Immortal Society. If you compare Blue Star to a chessboard, they are just a group of chess players, a containment object or A school is too small to be worthy of their own hands.

In fact, there is more information that Liang Wan did not reveal. The real master of the Immortal Society may be closely related to the Abyss, and the members are just tools created by them to achieve a certain purpose.

"If you put aside the aspect of immortality, there is only one possible reason for the hallucination."

Xia Ren looked at the roof of the teaching building in the distance and said: "From Xu Qiang, an infectious body of at least type II was born, and this infected body is now hidden in the school."

Liu Xiuxiu thought of what happened yesterday and said, "If you put it this way, aren't the five people who bullied him in danger?"

Xia Ren nodded: "So next, we'd better focus on the five of them. Even if my guess is wrong, it's better than having no target and wandering around like a headless fly."

This was the first time he showed his thoughts in this matter.

Of course it wasn't because he was worried about those five people. Xia Ren had his own considerations. Although Liang Wan hid many things from him, he also hid them from each other.

Maybe a hanging rope can't attract the attention of the Youthful Society, but it's different when you add yourself. It's even possible that the purpose of the Youthful Society is you.

Ever since the update chaser appeared, he had become extremely wary of the system's flaws. In order not to be confused and used as cannon fodder, he had to question every aspect of the system, including the recovery of the system with the help of the system. memory.

After thinking about it carefully, he could conclude that the authenticity of the memory that he once believed in was still open to question.

This is not to say that he should completely deny it, but some of the details were inconsistent with what he later learned about the past.

For example, Zhao Mingyue, despite all signs indicating that she had a close relationship with him, could not find any memories about her.

There are also faceless masks. So far, he has come into contact with two masks, one is Zhao Mingyue's, and the other is his own. His mask obviously knows more things than his own body, and it is very powerful. He replaced it. When he dies, the few words he said before his death are definitely the most important thing. Xia Ren has to review them every night before going to bed to feel at ease.

Those few words conveyed several clear messages to him:

1: We must find Zhao Mingyue

2: Someone wants to stop him, and now he knows that these people may be immortals

3: If you want to find Zhao Mingyue, you have to go to the moon

4: The Foundation cannot be trusted

5: Unable to awaken Ghroth

From then on, Xia Ren would consider these five things before doing anything.

In addition, Xia Ren also had a guess as to why the mask died on his behalf. The most likely one was that the Elder Society had learned something and wanted to hunt him down. In order to survive, he had to do this.

Also, the Abyss Apostle Faceless Man specially made masks for him and Zhao Mingyue, which shows that the other party is at least not hostile to him, so if the Faceless Man can be found, it will at least be helpful to his current predicament.

But in this situation where he was trying to hide himself in every possible way, the system just asked him to spread the pollution records and increase the risk of exposure. It was really difficult for Xia Ren to think about the good intentions.

There was another thing that worried him even more.

Zhao Mingyue is an enemy or a friend.

The system asked him to find Zhao Mingyue.

Mask asked himself to find Zhao Mingyue and stop her.

Immortal would like to prevent himself from finding Zhao Mingyue and then stopping her.

Therefore, the purpose of the Youthful Society may be the same as that of Zhao Mingyue, and they may be in the same group.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the Immortal Society just wants to kill herself and has nothing to do with Zhao Mingyue.

"I still know too little."

"really."

Liu Xiuxiu had no idea that he had thought so much in a short period of time, and thought he was referring to this incident.

There were self-study classes in the evening, so there was nothing going on with Xia Ren and Liang Wan.

They investigated the information about the five people yesterday. Except for the leader Zheng Lang, who was a day student, the other four students all lived on campus.

In order to verify whether Xu Qiang's infected body was really causing trouble, they decided to pay a home visit to Zheng Lang as a teacher and place an old seal on the way. Because of Liang Wan's road-crazy nature, this task can only be left to Xia Ren, while she lives with Liu Xiuxiu in school to deal with emergencies.

Xia Ren said: "I'll ask later if I need to prepare anything for the home visit."

Liang Wan was a little surprised: "Haven't you been in school for so many years before and you don't even know this?"

Xia Ren returned to his decadent look and said, "Since I entered junior high school, there has been no one in the family who can be visited by the teacher."

Liang Wan: "..."

"Having said that, the hanging rope may no longer be there, so I don't think you need to continue to despair."

Xia Ren glanced at her and said nothing.

It was an ancient dream fragment and a thousand achievement points. He would not give up easily until he was truly sure.
