Weird Calendar

Things got outrageous.

Qin Ze had many thoughts in his mind at this moment.

These children were hypnotized.

There is probably not much self-awareness left in my mind.

But if you think about it carefully, hypnosis is actually not like this. In hypnosis, the inner cognition has been changed, but the behavior and habits are still the same as before.

For example, a person is hypnotized and receives instructions that he does not like women. Then his other living habits will not change.

It's just that when it comes to women, it will be different from before. Will become physiologically disgusted.

So Qin Ze rejected the possibility of hypnosis.

Because in Lawyer Hu’s view, these children are simply robots with different shapes and sizes...

In other words, the differences of these children have been erased.

Can this kind of thing be done?

Qin Ze said:

"Lawyer Hu, please continue talking and give us the details."

Hu Dongfeng nodded, still feeling frightened:

"Okay, I first went to the homes of some of the victim's friends, and I said I was the school's lawyer."

Qin Ze thought to himself that this is very smart.

"They all welcomed me, and I also talked with them about the child's situation. I kept silent about the victim's mother's side of things, for fear of offending them."

"At first, I thought there was no problem. I even thought this child was too sensible."

"He will help his parents with housework. After finishing the housework, he will carefully check the homework he has written for his parents."

"I praised my children for being sensible, and they all said that the school taught them well. In the past, children were very naughty. They basically just played games when they came home, and they didn't even think about housework."

"Parents keep praising the school. I can see that their children must have changed a lot, and the changes are in the direction they expect."

"Most parents define being sensible as having good academic performance, being able to do housework, and not playing games."

"They themselves obviously understand the complexity of life, but they always like the people around them to be simple, which is in line with their crude understanding of a thing."

"Of course, I don't deny that this child is really sensible and shows a sense of self-discipline in every move he makes."

"It's almost like he's been trained by the military."

"When I left, the child's parents were still saying thank you. They thanked the school for teaching them the ideal child."

"The child also said to me: Goodbye, uncle lawyer."

"Will there be bullying on campus in such a school?"

"I didn't think it would be possible at the time, but I quickly realized the seriousness of it."

Next, Hu Dongfeng talked about the second, third, and fourth house he went to...

With a rigorous and responsible attitude, Hu Dongfeng visited many homes.

When he arrived at the second home, Hu Dongfeng already felt something was wrong.

The parents had the same reaction, but it was normal.

But the child's reaction cannot be exactly the same, it is simply a copy and paste of the child from the previous family.

The arc of the smile, the sitting posture when doing homework, and even the position of holding the homework book when giving it to parents to check are all the same.

Same goes for all the lines.

"Goodbye, uncle lawyer."

"The tone, demeanor, and tone were exactly the same. I got goosebumps at the time."

"But it could be a coincidence, right? That's what I think."

Not to mention Hu Dongfeng's goosebumps, Qin Ze also felt horrified to think about it.

How on earth is this done?

"You can imagine how I felt when I arrived at the third house. I basically felt a little infiltrated and scared."

"So much so that I stared at the child from the third family with unnatural eyes."

"And when he left, what the child said was finally different."

Hu Dongfeng's body trembled slightly.

Qin Ze threw the corn cobs in his hand into the bamboo basket, and then patted Hu Dongfeng on the shoulder.

Hu Dongfeng's voice trembled:

"The kid said, uncle lawyer, see you later."

Even Qin Ze felt his scalp numb at these words.

At this moment, his previous theory of hypnosis was overturned.

"These children...could it be possible..."

Hu Dongfeng shook his head:

"I don't know, I don't know, I was scared, they were so consistent."

"I dare not think in that direction because it is beyond my knowledge."

"But today, after you really told me about magic, I think I know... This is indeed what I thought."

Hu Dongfeng's eyes were full of fear and helplessness.

He realized that he was fighting against an inhuman existence.

The behavior, language, demeanor, tone of voice, and movement details of the first child and the second child are all consistent.

The third child did the same, but when he left, what the third child said changed. He did not say goodbye, uncle lawyer, but said, uncle lawyer, see you later.

This seemed to indicate that he had always seen the same child.

After the third meeting, the child also realized that he would keep visiting, so he said, see you later.

Of course, two or three weeks ago, although Hu Dongfeng felt uncomfortable in his heart, he just felt that he couldn't understand it.

He encountered this kind of thing that was horrifying to think about, but years of education still made him not believe in certain things.

He just felt that there must be something weird about these children.

There must be something weird about the school that deserves investigation.

"After visiting each house like this, I finally felt that the smile on my face must be very stiff."

"I told Yui everything, but Yui said this, you are a lawyer, you are not a messenger of justice, you just feel strange, but you have no evidence."

"Besides, Xiao Hu, you'd better not provoke such a thing. Isn't that King of Thunder and Lightning still alive and well?"

"Parents are willing, they are happy for their children to be dominated by fear and then become what the parents expect."

"This is a sale, this is another case."

"As for your client, she was unable to provide evidence. The child was also examined and found to be in good health without suffering any abuse. This is very detrimental to us."

Hu Dongfeng still remembers Gu Meimen Yui’s expression:

“We are a law firm of justice, but that’s because we always win.”

"Xiao Hu, I'm sure that this school is not simple, and the forces behind this school are even more not simple. Do you know how weak justice will appear in the eyes of everyone when it encounters huge evil?"

"When we are defeated, public opinion must be that we are discredited and judged by true justice."

There are many children in a row, all of whom are carved from the same mold, and the parents are still grateful.

Public opinion was full of praise, and the school had never had any problems...

How big a protection umbrella does this have?

The police don't care, but you, a lawyer, do it?

This is Gu Meimen Yui's thinking. She knows that justice is relative.

If Hu Dongfeng had accepted Yui Yi's statement at that time, maybe Yui Yi would be fine.

He would not have fallen to where he is today.

Hu Dongfeng said:

"The dispute between Yui and I started at this time."

"She told me that there is no justice, and the winner is justice. If you want to maintain the brand of Justice Law Firm, don't offend people who are too high-ranking."

"But what I was thinking at the time was...is it really okay for these children to have their countless possibilities wiped out?"

"There must be something wrong with this school. Is it really okay if we don't investigate? What if the child who claimed to be abused was really abused?"

"This is an aristocratic school, but in essence, it is a school. If it is a school, there will be countless parents who will squeeze their heads to send their children to the school..."

"They have the right to know the truth, don't they?"

"I thought I was right, but Yui said that an idealist cannot be a lawyer."

"During that time, Yui and I were in conflict."

"But later I learned that Yui had been inquiring about the forces behind the school."

"Yui even..."

Hu Dongfeng choked up again.

Qin Ze didn't urge him, he just moved the small bench from opposite Hu Dongfeng to next to Hu Dongfeng.

Then patted him on the back.

Hu Dongfeng said:

"Yui even contacted the school and said that she would be their defense lawyer. She said that there must be other lawyers who would use the popularity of public opinion to help the noisy mother and sue your school. She is willing to help and be the school's defense lawyer. and legal counsel.”

"Yui is not that kind of person. She may be selective about justice and not fight a losing battle, but she will not help others do evil."

"It was also at that time that I realized that Yui was actually persuaded by me. She knew that she couldn't persuade me to stop, so she chose to use her own means to help me."

"But the school refused. The school claimed that it would not use any lawyers."

"Yui also learned that other lawyers did try to contact the school, but they were all rejected by the school."

"After being convinced that the school refused all legal aid, Yui and I analyzed the school's motivations for this approach..."

"That is the school's ulterior secret, which even the lawyers cannot know."

"In other words, the school's biggest trump card now is the support of students, parents, and public opinion, but the school cannot withstand investigation."

"So in the second week, Yui and I issued a statement and decided to seek justice for the woman and decided to sue the school."

Now that the timeline has reached this point, Qin Ze has an impression.

That was the second time he accepted Qiao Wei's property. He remembered that Gu Meimen Yui chose to investigate the child abuse case with Hu Dongfeng.

I have to say that Qin Ze admires this lady Yui very much.

I admire her flexible attitude towards justice, and her bottom line that she still sticks to even though she knows it.

What I admire most is her friendship with her friends.

There is a saying that the more you study the law, the less you believe in human nature.

But obviously, Hu Dongfeng and Ms. Yui are both different species.

Such people are rare.

Hu Dongfeng continued:

"So we decided to enter the school to investigate."

"Yui and I have different divisions of labor. Yui is responsible for entering the school to investigate, and I am responsible for collecting evidence outside the school."

"That's what we planned."

"But when my client, the child who was the victim, heard that Yui was going into the school to investigate, he suddenly changed from his usual dementia and warned me very seriously not to let anyone enter the school!"

"But everything requires evidence. Without entering the campus, without truly observing the students' lives, relying solely on the words of the children and mothers, and relying solely on the mechanical performance of these students... it is impossible to win."

"Countless people will only praise the school's methods, and many more will be eager to send their children there."

"Yui and I have the same idea. These children have been subjected to punishments that may be similar to 'electric shock', coupled with military-style management, so they are all so uniform."

"Because I also investigated the behavior of these children in elementary school and learned from their parents that they were more or less naughty in the past."

"In other words, these children have indeed changed after entering Jingquan Academy!"

"But you know...Mr. Qin, the child almost cried, don't go in, don't go in... Just make the matter bigger. But don't go in."

"At that moment, I felt like this kid knew something."

"But when I asked him for details, he couldn't tell."

All he needs to do is make the matter bigger... This sentence made Qin Ze frown, and he immediately had the answer in his mind:

"Where is that child now?"

Unlike Hu Dongfeng, Qin Ze's ideas were divorced from reality from the beginning.

Running towards a strange problem-solving idea, he had already thought of the nine children Hu Dongfeng visited...

I'm afraid they share the same head.

This was also the reason why he was so shocked by Hu Dongfeng's narration that his scalp went numb.

He almost concluded that there was some kind of strange force on campus.

Maybe someone from the Old Calendar, such as a "principal"?

Or... it's worse.

Is it a black calendar person who came in the form of the old calendar, or is it simply a certain old calendar creature that came over?

In short, there must be some kind of special power on that campus.

But the question is, how did this "client", the child who claimed to be abused, avoid being "enslaved"?

This child indeed has some information.

But unfortunately, this child refused to say anything.

What is so special about this child? Able to escape from campus and maintain his will?

If he is afraid of that school, then the right thing for him to do is to contact his mother and let him transfer to another school...

Qin Ze narrowed his eyes and seemed to notice something was wrong.

"Where is this child? He is obviously afraid of school, but he tells his mother that the school is abusing him. This creates a conflict between the mother and the school."

"After this conflict was established, he told you that you just need to make things bigger...but don't enter the campus!"

"Lawyer Hu, don't you think this child is taking advantage of me?"

"He knows that you can't face this force, but he also knows that this force is very dangerous and must be dealt with."

"But he doesn't want to expose his special nature, so he can't explain it clearly to you... I just hope that you can make the matter big enough... to attract the official's attention."

Hu Dongfeng was puzzled:

"By official, do you mean the police?"

Qin Ze shook his head, suddenly smiled and pointed his finger at himself:

"When I say official, I mean me."

Hu Dongfeng was stunned.

Qin Ze said:

"The world is far more complex than you think, but human nature is not complex."

"Lawyer Hu, where is that child? Maybe if you can't ask, I can."

"Don't tell me that the child has been killed?"

Hu Dongfeng shook his head.

In this case, his relatives and friends were threatened, and he was also invaded by gangsters in his own home.

As for his friend Yui, her whereabouts are unknown now. She just received a phone call——

The content of the phone call was that he hoped that he could come to the school and pick up lawyer Gu Meimen Yui back.

And that child strongly requested not to go to school, otherwise everything would stop.

Hu Dongfeng guessed that the child knew something, but he was troubled because the child refused to tell him.

But out of the desire to protect witnesses, he also hid the child very well:

"That's not true. I have hidden that child in the eastern suburbs."

"Take me to meet him. The truth will be revealed soon."
