The passage is not a place for walking in the traditional sense, but a gap for the underground piping line to be easily repaired when the new school building is built.

The two of them walked between the pipes, not very fast.

The light in the passage is unknown, but there is a dim wall lamp at intervals, and there is a roar in the ears, concentrating the various sounds emitted by the air conditioner and equipment.

The smell of rust and mildew in the nostrils was heavy, and they could only squint their eyes, cover their mouths and noses, and move forward slowly.

"Why didn't they tell the teacher if they bullied you?"

"Did it work? It's not like you're going to be bullied even more! ”

Xia Miaomiao's understanding is not completely wrong, in fact, before the two of them transferred to another school, there was still someone in the class who was bullied by Hua Nana, and that person did report the situation to the head teacher and the teaching office, and he could only maintain peace on the surface for a while, and when the wind calmed down, he would return to this person even more.

Kurobuchi was silent again, he was now trying to play the role of a stern dean who never smiled at his students.

Although there was no joy on his face, there was a lot of sorrow in his heart.

He remembered what happened to him as a child, how could he not be the unsociable stinky child, who was once isolated by his classmates, if it weren't for the presence of friends like Fat Man and Lan Lan around him, his childhood might have become the target of bullying and exclusion by classmates like Xia Miaomiao's sisters.

At this time, someone must refute, why don't you bravely tell the teacher about bullying? Tell family?

But sadly, some teachers will also blame the person being bullied, thinking that they must have something in them that their classmates don't like, and they will be bullied if they don't fit in, and they will be bullied if they are introverted and quiet. Instead of helping the weak, preside over justice.

This is especially true in schools, where bullying incidents can be considered scandals that affect school admissions and try to suppress them.

Over time, a delicate balance is formed, and the bullied person will always be bullied and has no way to resist. Schools and teachers only superficially criticize bullies, and do not fundamentally consider how to eradicate them.

There was a tacit silence between the two.

After a long time, Xia Miaomiao asked hesitantly: "Director Zhang, have you ever felt guilty about the fact that you named my sister Xia Wanwan and Luo Zhan's early love in the whole school?" ”

More than a year ago, Zhang Quan, deputy director of the teaching office of Simin Middle School, received a report from a student that two students in the second (2) class of high school, Luo Zhan and Xia Wanwan, were in a relationship.

The school strictly forbade students to fall in love at an early age, for fear of delaying their studies, Zhang Quan did not check with the two students in private, nor did he talk, but directly criticized the two in front of the whole school at a flag-raising ceremony on Monday.

Not long after, on a rainy weekend night, Xia Wanwan fell to her death from the 7th floor of an abandoned school building.

There are rumors in the school that the girl committed suicide by jumping off the building because she was found out because of her early love, and she felt ashamed and didn't dare to continue to face her classmates and teachers.

Hei Yuan hesitated a little, and didn't answer Xia Miaomiao's question immediately, he was thinking about whether to maintain Zhang Quan's usual harsh, stern and rigid way of speaking, or to say what this girl wanted to hear the most.

Just as he was thinking, Xia Miaomiao's steps, who were walking in front, suddenly became extremely light, her hands stretched out beside her, her right foot was supported on tiptoe, and her body rotated wonderfully 180 degrees.

She looked at Hei Yuan with a smile, her expression was no longer submissive, reserved and timid, but with a strong maturity.

"Have you ever felt guilty?" She asked again.

Hei Yuan paused, stopped, and looked straight at the beautiful girl in front of the dark corridor.

A certain voice sounded in his heart, and his soul was instantly pierced by a bright light, and many doubts that he couldn't understand and couldn't solve suddenly became clear and smooth.

"Someone's coming, let's go." Just as Zhang Quan, the deputy director of the teaching office played by Hei Yuan, wanted to say something, a sound came from behind the two.

They quickly trotted to the front of the passage, passed through the long passage, and after turning two more nearly 90-degree turns, a dilapidated iron gate appeared in front of them.

There was a large lock hanging from the iron gate, and it was impossible to move any further.

"Hide, quick."

The sound behind him became more and more obvious, and Hei Yuan subconsciously pulled Xia Miaomiao to hide in a hidden corner and waited.

The man is closer!

Xia Miaomiao was pressed into the corner by the black abyss, trembling all over, and when she saw the face of the person who came in, she trembled even more. Her two small hands tightly grabbed Hei Yuan's back clothes, and she shrunk her whole body behind Hei Yuan, hoping that his tall body would protect her from fear.

Kurobuchi could hear the sound of unsteady breathing in his ears, and he reached out and gently patted her right hand in encouragement.

Mader looked around, bent down on the ground to look for something, and when he got closer, he found a black garbage bag in his hand and a pair of disposable chopsticks in the other.

After bending over and getting up like this for more than a minute, Mader went back and forth in the passage twice before giving up. Finally he came to the dilapidated iron door, opened the lock with the key on his waist, and walked in.

The iron door is hidden, and Hei Yuan plans to follow up and take a look.

Xia Miaomiao grabbed him behind him, raised her thin arm and pointed out of the passage.

Kurobuchi nodded, and the two continued to hide in the corner.

Minutes and seconds passed, and more than a minute later, a pretty 17-year-old girl with a ponytail and fashionable clothes appeared in front of the iron gate.

She didn't make any extra moves, completely ignoring whether there was someone hiding in the shadows on her side, or what Mader had found and taken away a lot on the ground.

Hua Nana pulled open the dilapidated iron door and stepped inside, and then a slight collision sound was heard, blocking Kurobyss from trying to follow and find out.

The door was locked on that side by Hua Nana!

Not long after the broken iron door was locked, Xia Miaomiao jumped out from behind Zhang Quan, she twisted and pulled the corners of her clothes, and lowered her head shyly.

"How did Hua Nana and Madder end up here? I'm not surprised to see your appearance, Xia Miaomiao, do you know something? Kurobuchi asked in a cold voice.

The little girl gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "They have known each other for a long time, and this secret passage was also told to Hua Nana by Ma De. ”

"Behind the iron gate, there is access to the abandoned school building? So how do you know? ”

Xia Miaomiao nodded and continued: "A little further walk behind the iron gate is the basement floor of the abandoned teaching building. After my sister left, I suspected Mader and followed him to find it. ”

"And what did you find?"

Xia Miaomiao shook her head again: "Ma De appeared once, and I was almost discovered, but then Hua Nana began to come here, and brought several of her followers to play here." ”

"What to play?" It's dark and rumbling here, it's humid and stuffy in summer, and there are either mice or cockroaches in the corners of the wall, and the smell is still very bad.

"Come here to smoke and put on makeup."

Hei Yuan was silent, it seemed that what Ma De was looking for on the ground just now was a cigarette butt.

"The school doesn't allow you to smoke, you don't want to dress up, so they come here and do these things secretly. Only a few people here know, and the teachers don't know. After saying this, Xia Miaomiao raised her head in fear, for fear that the teaching director, who was known for being strict, would blame her for not reporting it.

"What about the lock on the door? Is it all the time? Do they have the key? ”

The doors of the abandoned school building were closed at the time of several crashes, and the girls must have entered through this dilapidated iron gate.

"I don't know about the lock, but it was there when Madder came here. Don't say Hua Nana has the key, I also have one. Xia Miaomiao took out a red rope with a key tied to it.

Hei Yuan walked over to the iron door to check the padlock, which had a lot of rust on it, and from the point of view of its age, it was consistent with the time when the iron door existed.

Then he crouched down and found it on the ground.

After a while, at the edge of the corner where they were hiding, a flattened cigarette butt was found.

Xia Miaomiao took out a pack of tissues in her pants pocket, pulled out one and handed it to Hei Yuan.

Wrapping the cigarette butts and storing them properly, Kurobuchi asked again, "What are you going to do next?" ”

There was silence in the air for 3 seconds, and Xia Miaomiao, who was previously introverted and shy, changed her expression, and a mature and gentle smile appeared on her face again.

"You haven't answered my question just now, have you ever felt guilty?"

Hei Yuan suddenly felt that the game was starting to get interesting, he looked at the girl in front of him seriously, made a guilty expression, and said in a deep voice: "Early love is really wrong, it will affect your learning. ”

When the other party's face was about to change, Hei Yuan said again: "But I really shouldn't directly expose your affairs in public. I should have talked to you separately beforehand. ”

The girl's smile widened, and the light instantly lit up the dark passage.

"Actually, I want to thank you too."

Hei Yuan raised his eyebrows, not knowing what he meant.

The other party smiled faintly and spit out his lilac tongue and grimaced at Hei Yuan.

"If you hadn't told us to wait until the college entrance examination is over and we will be admitted to college before falling in love, we wouldn't have thought of the idea of a fake breakup."

"Here's it."

To give you two words, 6 puzzle pieces appear in the girl's palm.

Hei Yuan took it, and the girl said, "Director Zhang, let's go out first, and when they leave, I will go upstairs to play a requiem for the deceased." ”

The NPC spoke, and Kurobuchi knew that there were no more clues to be found.

Returning the way they came, the two came back to the hallway.

Thundered!

A thunderclap fell from the sky, and Xia Miaomiao was so frightened that she trembled.

"Director Zhang, I, I'll go back to the dormitory first." The girl reverted to her old timid and cowardly appearance.

It was another rainstorm night, and Hei Yuan looked at the black oppressive sky with a solemn expression.

The fat man stood behind Hei Yuan, feeling depressed.

"Well, there's a very ominous feeling."

"Give me the pieces of the puzzle." Glancing at the countdown clock hanging on the wall in the hallway and guessing the time, there were still 3 minutes until midnight in the game, and Kurobuchi didn't plan to waste it.

The fat man took out 12 puzzle pieces from his backpack and handed them to him.

"The last 6 got it?"

"Hmm."

Soon, the 18 pieces of the puzzle were put together, and a picture similar to the poster in the mobile phone appeared in front of the two of them.

If you check it carefully, you will find that the two images are similar, but there are a few more people in the puzzle.

Led by Xu Guofeng, who was much earlier than he is now, his right hand raised high, and he pointed to the entire new campus in high spirits. Behind him stood six construction workers in hard hats, one of whom had a familiar face.

...

"It's Mader, it's Mader."

"Isn't Mader a security guard? How did it happen at the completion ceremony of the new school building of Simin Middle School? ”

"No, it just looks alike, but it's not the same person."

"They're brothers!"

"No wonder Mader knows the secret passage between the old and new school buildings, I see."

...

The aquarists told Kurobuchi's conjecture.

There is a brother who is a project supervisor, whether Ma De enters the school as a security guard, or is familiar with the school, he is smoother than others!
