The next day, Fang Zheng came to the door of the garden of the school house early in the morning, and then after meeting with Tears and early spring, the three of them entered the garden of the school house together.

However.........

"What's going on?"

Looking at the wet and large tears on the skirt, Fang Zheng was a little confused, and the tears stuck out his tongue embarrassedly.

"Haha, that......... I was a little too excited when I came out........."

"Forget it, let's go first."

Shaking his head helplessly, Fang Zheng led the two into the garden of the schoolhouse.

Although they are all in the seventh school district, the garden of the school house does not allow ordinary people to enter at will, after all, there are five private girls' schools here, and they are all aristocratic girls' schools, and the students in them are either rich or expensive. If outsiders are allowed to enter at will, it will inevitably cause trouble, so the external security of the school garden is also quite strict.

However, Fang Zheng himself used the tree diagram designer to give himself a high authority, and Hatsuharu and Tears were invited, so after verifying their identities, the three of them entered the garden of the school.

"Wow, this is the garden of the school, it looks so different from the outside, it's so beautiful........."

Walking on the antique street, the two eyes of early spring sparkled and looked around, and I felt that I couldn't see it. And Tears is also curious to look around, from time to time to look left and right. It's no wonder that the interior of the Garden is designed to be closer to the classical Western style than the modern atmosphere outside, and it feels a bit like you've been in another world.

Most of the people who come and go are girls, and not only that.........

"Ah, Mr. Fangzheng, Gui'an."

"Gui'an, Mr. Fangzheng, do you have something to do with coming to the garden of the school?"

"Zuotian, you actually came to the garden of the school? Why don't you talk to me? ”

Along the way, from time to time, someone accosted Fang Zheng and Tears, which surprised Chu Chun.

"Saten-san? How do you know the eldest lady here! ”

"Ah......... Because they often go to Mr. Founder's classes........."

Hearing this, Tears also smiled wryly and spread out his hands. Many of the eldest ladies in the garden of the school house have gone to attend Fangzheng's lectures, so they naturally get to know each other. Because Tears' popularity has always been good, she has also become friends with many people.

"It's good, it's good! You can be friends with the eldest lady........."

And hearing the tearful answer, Chu Chun suddenly made an awkward noise.

"But I still have a job to do as a discipline commissioner, hey, if I don't have a job, I want to go too........."

Speaking of this, Chu Chun looked at Fangzheng.

"Mr. Fangzheng, can I also go and listen?"

"Absolutely."

Fang Zheng nodded, and at the same time added with a smile.

"If you don't have the work of a discipline officer to do."

“……………”

In early spring, it sank.

After that, the group arrived at the door of Tokiwadai and joined Mikoto Misaka and Kuroko Shirai, where Tears changed out of their previously soiled uniform and changed into Tokiwadai's clothes——— which made the eldest lady's sick Hatsuharu look red.

It wasn't until she came to the cake shop that Chu Chun finally cheered up, no longer dwelling on these little things, but seemed to make up for her injured heart, she ordered several cakes in one go.

I'm not afraid to get fat.

"It's so different from the outside, it's amazing........."

I happily ate a bite of cake, and I felt like I was going to cry in the early spring.

"yes......... I always feel like I'm in a foreign country........."

The tears were also holding his cheeks with one hand, looking at the scenery outside, and his tone was a little deep. Looking at her like this, Mikoto Misaka and Kuroko Shirai looked at each other suspiciously, and for some reason, they always felt that the tears seemed to be different from before.

"Huh."

Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng smiled and shook his head, then he glanced at a corner of the cake shop before speaking.

"By the way, I'll tell you a story while you're bored."

"Huh? Tale? ”

After all, they are all little girls, and when they heard this, the four girls all raised their interest and looked at Fang Zheng curiously.

"What's the story?"

"Hmm......... It's a horror story, it's a horror book I've read before. ”

Saying this, Fang Zheng picked up the coffee and took a sip, then smiled at the four of them, and continued.

The protagonist of this story is called Bit, a very ordinary and ordinary white-collar employee, who goes to work and gets off work every day, and lives the same life. Bit doesn't have much presence in the company, everyone doesn't pay much attention to him, he is ignored like a little transparent, and Bit is used to this kind of life. Then one day, he found that the situation had changed........."

"How has it changed?"

Hearing this, Tears widened his eyes excitedly and came over.

"He found himself being ignored......... Well, it's not that kind of ignorance in the ordinary sense, everyone doesn't seem to see him anymore, as if he's an invisible person. He had come to work, and had been working at his desk for a day, and his superiors had assigned him tasks. But when he found his superiors, he said that he hadn't seen him to work today and hadn't given him any tasks. ”

"What's going on?"

"Did his superiors deliberately bully him?"

At this time, Kuroko and Chu Chun also asked questions with some curiosity, while Fang Zheng shook his finger and continued.

At first, he was just invisible, but then the situation got worse and worse, and even Bit found that everyone seemed to be neglecting him, and even the work he did was counted on the heads of others. This makes Bit so angry that he even thinks of dancing in the office to get everyone's attention, but no matter what he does, no one looks at him, as if the person doesn't exist at all. ”

"It can't be that Bit's awakening of some kind of ability."

Mai Trin also expressed her opinion, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

Anyway, Bit couldn't stand this life, and finally one day, he went berserk, he put himself up as a ridiculous clown, and walked into the company with a kitchen knife. However, even so, the company's security guards and employees didn't look at him, and then Bit came to the office and killed the colleague who robbed him of his performance and credit———! ”

“———！！”

Hearing this, Mikoto Misaka trembled, and the others were also shocked.

"So was that bit caught?"

"Nope."

"Hey.........?"

"Why?"

"Because he is a neglected person, in fact, everyone has forgotten that Bit exists, not even his parents. Although the police found the body, which was defined as a murder, they completely ignored the bit, who was standing at the scene with a sharp knife in his hand. This made Bit very desperate, and he left the company, but just when Bit was about to commit suicide, suddenly, a person appeared in front of him. ”

"Gollum."

Hearing this, the four of them swallowed their saliva in unison.

"Is that a good guy or a bad guy?"

"It can't be an angel or a demon."

"It was a man named Philip, and in fact, he was just as much a neglected person as Bit. He tells Bit that there are many people in this world who are just as neglected as him, who are forgotten and ignored by everyone, like living invisible people. And according to Philip, in this land, there is a city that belongs to the neglected, and everyone there is the same neglected as Bit, so Philip invites Bit to go there and start a new life, and Bit agrees. ”

“……… And what about later? ”

"They managed to get to that city and start a new life."

“……… It's not scary. ”

Hearing this, Shirai Kuroko commented boringly, while Fang Zheng smiled.

"That's right, it's not scary at all, and when he got here, Bit also found his beloved, and he also felt that he could start a new life, and then ......... One thing Bit discovered was that he was starting to be ignored again. ”

“……… Ay? ”

Faced with this unexpected twist, everyone was stunned.

That's right, he was ignored again, and in a group of neglected people, Bit found himself still ignored. And this time the situation was even more serious than before, when the people around him began to forget him again, he found that his whole person actually began to gradually disappear! ”

"Wow!"

If this story didn't sound particularly scary to the girls before, then when they heard this, their hairs stood on end.

It's bad enough to be forgotten by the vast majority of people, to be ignored. I finally found my companion, but I found that even in a group of neglected people, I was still the neglected one?

And will it disappear?

It's horrible.

"And at this time, there was also an accident, Philip, who brought him to the city, had a bold idea, as revenge for the group of people who ignored them, Philip wanted to declare their existence in a special way, that is, to occupy the political center of their country, that is, the white house."

"Huh?!"

At this moment, everyone, including Mikoto Misaka, was shocked.

"So they succeeded?"

"Of course they are......... Failed. ”

“？？？”

"They're just the neglected."

Looking at the four girls in front of him with a confused face, Fang Zheng smiled and spread his hands.

"They don't have the ability to become invisible, they haven't disappeared from this world, they're simply ignored. But when they drive tanks and carry guns on the streets, I am afraid that only the blind will ignore their existence. In front of the army, these people are naturally powerless to fight back, they thought that they could swagger all the way in, and then directly grab the president, but the reality is obviously completely different from what they thought. Most of them were killed, the rest were captured. ”

"And what about bits?"

At this time, the tears couldn't hold back the doubts in their hearts, and asked.

"He was not captured, and although he also hoped to be able to prove his existence again and join this 'war', he was completely ignored, both the army and his companions had forgotten about him. In the end, he stood alone in the middle of the battlefield and ......... Gone. ”

"Gone?"

"That's right."

Fang Zheng clapped his hands.

"No one remembers him, and he doesn't exist."

“……………”

After listening to this story, the girls' expressions were a little complicated, and at this time, suddenly, Chuchun's phone rang, she took the phone, and then her face changed slightly.

"Got a job?"

Seeing Hatsuharu's expression, Shirai Kuroko immediately knew, and Hatsuharu nodded.

"Looks like that's all we have for today."

Sighing helplessly, Kuroko stood up and saluted Fang Zheng, Tears and Mikoto.

"Then sister, as well as Zuo Tian and Mr. Fang Zheng, we still have important matters, we must take the first step and leave."

After saying this, Kuroko and Hatsuharu quickly left the coffee shop, and at this time, tears grew out.

"I feel that the person named Bit is so pitiful, he is obviously a neglected person, but he is ignored again........."

"Being ignored isn't a good thing in itself, but it's not a reason to do whatever you want."

Fang Zheng put down the coffee cup in his hand, and then looked to the side.

"What do you say? This young lady. ”

As Fang Zheng's words fell, suddenly, a girl appeared in front of them silently from the air.
