"Do you think the law will let you go if you do these things?"

"Leave me alone? Does this matter have anything to do with me? I'm just a teacher who comes to the scene."

"Do you want that group of people to help you take the blame?"

"Don't get me wrong, I don't plan to let anyone take the blame for me, these things have nothing to do with me from the beginning, it was you who designed all this, and it was Wu Forging who achieved all this, and it was also their choice to push Fang Shao downstairs."

"Do you really think that group of people can help you undo all the blame?"

"Isn't that still you?"

「...」

"Don't worry, I don't plan to put all the responsibility on you, but 80% of the responsibility will be given to you, you have to think of a way to get out of the sanctions."

"80%, I want you to tell me what you're going to do too."

"Shouldn't you care about what's going on downstairs more than that? You see, the chaos has already begun to spread."

The sound of shattering glass, the wails of pain, the screams of being hurt.

I'm not surprised by these messy voices, these are what I expected.

To me, these sounds are just a bit loud.

What I'm really worried about is myself, when I met Ivana... I guessed that this man wanted to use me to take the blame.

More than a dozen of them spoke in unison, pointing out that I was the mastermind, but I couldn't argue with it.

I left the guardrail and leaned against the wall.

"The situation downstairs is like that, the police will arrive in an hour or two, and according to the current situation, the death and injury are inevitable, so I want to know how you plan to confess me, I don't plan to stay in the juvenile detention center for a few years."

"Do you think I'll say it?"

"Yes, because it's a beast you want to get revenge on, and I'm not a beast."

"Your mouth is really a bit powerful, well, let me tell you, what they will say, in summary, is actually two very simple sentences: you are the mastermind, and we are accomplices who have been deceived and incited. That's all, and I don't intend to make a special scandal against you, but if you want such a simple excuse, it's impossible."

It's simple but can't refute, this matter was originally my mastermind, but I, the mastermind, were only used by others.

If it were explained so, people who would believe it... Will anyone really believe it?

I don't know about the others, the police and the school won't believe it anyway.

Ivana's identity is that of a teacher, and even if she is identified, it will be taken as revenge.

As for the reason, Ivana and I are not on the same level, if you think about it this way, Ivana came to the school, attracted a lot of attention, and the overwhelming praise rate among the students, is this all preparing for her own crime?

If the police start an investigation. My words would be dismissed as a lie almost instantly.

It seems that I have set my back on this black cauldron.

If I'm going to be punished, then I'm not going to let those who calculate me have a good time.

"Ivana, do you really think you're going to be able to get out of this with your whole body?"

"Asked this question again, do you think the law can punish me? Or can you sanction me?"

"I'll identify you, I know it's not going to work, but it's definitely enough to cause you trouble, I'm sure you'll get away with it, but I just need to make trouble for you, and that's enough for me to make you feel the trouble."

"Li Luo, why don't you understand it until now?"

"Understand what?"

"Why didn't I let Wu Forging and them push you down, why don't you understand it yet."

"Push me down, will you still have a scapegoat?"

"Don't think of yourself as the only one, even if you are not a scapegoat, there will be people who are willing to take the initiative to take it and wipe out you who know everything, for us, there is only good, no harm."

「...」

"I think that the two of us are the same kind of people, and we made the same choice in the face of bullying, so my chain will spread to you, so, even if you come to take revenge on me, after using all your means to retaliate, only in this way will the chain continue to spread until it spreads to the whole world."

Chain... A chain of hatred.

As Ivana said, the chain in me has begun to spread.

Unlike the madness downstairs, the chain on my body is gradually turning black.

Black stuff was spilling out, like a demon beckoning to me.

"Chain... I... Why do you have such an idea?"

"Revenge, revenge, this is human instinct, when you come out, spread this chain well."

"I'm not going to be you, absolutely!"

"I used to be like you, when I first came to this school, I really planned to change this place and change the status quo of the school through my own efforts, but as you know, I was transferred to the back office, and my plan was to protect the students, but it was denied, do you know what this denial means?"

"You want to change the whole school overnight, it's absolutely impossible."

"It's changing, we're trying to change, and you like to say things like that?"

"Nothing can happen overnight, change has to come step by step."

"Is this going to change in 10 years, but 20 years? I can endure for so many years, but what about students for so many years? Who will be responsible for their future? If our schools can't change people quickly, it's the future of our students that will be ruined."

"And what are you doing now? Isn't it destroying the future of students? That dead body downstairs, you took everything from him!"

"This is the material necessary for change, and there is no change without sacrifice."

"I will never be sacrificed by you."

"So, haven't you found out yet? You've been on the list of sacrifices for a long time, I know your purpose, you planned such a stage play for the sake of the neighbor's girl, in order to prevent her from being bullied, you have already been a victim of this girl, why haven't you found out yet."

I am... Xiaohan's victim?

I don't understand.

I didn't understand what the person in front of me was talking about.

Am I a sacrifice, for Xiaohan?

"You... I can't understand what you're saying."

"Don't you understand? Think about it, why you've come to this point, why you've been completely suppressed by me, why you've come to this point."

"Because, you have all the plans in my hands."

"Not really! You used yourself as a bargaining chip to protect that girl, you didn't have to show up in person, you could control that group of people by radio, email, or even letters, but you didn't choose to do that, do you think it's really normal?"
