Chapter 180: A wolf in sheep's clothing
When Abin entered the room, he always felt that the atmosphere was weird.
But I can't say what's strange.
He thought about it carefully, this group of people gathered together, and the atmosphere was indeed not much better.
After the college entrance examination, he will have plenty of time, and naturally he will not be as late as before.
In fact, he is really broad-hearted, and he clearly knows how terrifying the quirks of the people in this room are, but he makes these people wait for him every time.
It's like the No. 2 member, if it weren't for the emergence of a newcomer today, the next target candidate in his heart would have been this late-to-late No. 8 member.
It's a pity that the newcomer's inconspicuous, trembling legs, like a little lamb waiting to be killed, captured the hearts of the second member and completely replaced Abin's place.
Naturally, Abin didn't know that he had been removed from the death list.
Wearing a beak mask and carrying a bag, he looked at the man standing behind him strangely as he passed by the members of Five.
He wondered if member Seven was a fat woman.
Is this mutual aid meeting so effective? In just one week, you have lost weight like this?
No, the pupils of this new member feel a little familiar.
Abin walked to his place and sat down with questions, he placed his backpack on his lap, as if to suppress his curiosity, not daring to look further.
Little did he know that the fat woman would never come again.
He didn't expect that his classmates would appear in this room.
"Looks like we've got all the people."
A magnetic voice rang out out of thin air in the darkness, and a white beak mask slowly emerged from the shadows, followed by the whole body of Member Zero, who slowly walked out on his long legs.
is still wearing the white coat outside, but inside is a neat and decent black suit, coupled with his tall figure, he is simply a model on the catwalk.
If you go to work at the White Horse Clubhouse, it will definitely be the top brand.
Dr. Gao looked around the room, not lingering too much on the new member.
He came to the position of the first seat, his hands naturally fell on the back of the chair, and finally looked at the drowning man standing stupidly on the side? Curious: "Member Five? Why don't you sit in your seat? ”
"Uh... President, this one beside me is... ”
The drowning man hasn't finished his talk? Dr. Gao waved his hand and interrupted, "Sit down first?" Don't break the rules. ”
"Okay... Good. ”
The drowning man immediately sat down in his seat and said no more.
Didn't he listen to Dr. Gao? Instead, he had just felt the man behind him stab him lightly with his finger in the back.
The room fell silent.
The woman in the black dress no longer chuckles? The old man no longer coughs? Even the force used by the bald man to break his fingers is much smaller.
The eyes of all the members fell on the chairman who was standing behind the first seat.
Dr. Gao cleared his throat and said, "This is the new week symposium?" First of all, there are two things that need to be explained. First? Unfortunately, our members of the Seven will no longer be able to come to our meetings, and quirks plague her and eventually drag her into the abyss. ”
As soon as the words fell, the nearest woman in a black dress covered her mouth? Try not to laugh out loud.
Abin's eyes immediately widened, he only knew? It turns out that the number seven members have been replaced.
Ignoring the woman's laughter, Dr. Gao continued, "The second thing? We have a new member today? Will he take the place of the Seven? Become a new member of our family? Let us applaud and welcome. ”
The uneven applause was sparse.
There were no applause, there were four people.
Member One's eyes were bent into a crescent moon shape, and he gloated at Number Two beside him.
Member No. 2 placed his fingers crossed at his chin, silent, and felt extremely regretful in his heart.
He knew that there was no way to do it today, and he had to wait until the end of this batch of mutual aid associations.
After all, the president has already agreed to the new members to join, so he has to follow the rules.
The members of Number Six sat there like stone statues, motionless.
The bald man didn't applaud either, he thought for a while, and finally raised his hand.
Doctor Gao bowed slightly: "Member Four, do you have any opinions?" ”
"President, according to the rules of the mutual aid association, new members must say their quirks, and then more than half of the members can recognize the seriousness of this quirks before they can join."
When the bald man said this, he was a little nervous, and his thumb forcefully broke his middle finger into the palm of his hand, and it was about to break, but he didn't feel the pain at all.
"Well, member Four, you're right, I was abrupt."
Dr. Gao squinted his eyes slightly and stared at the bald man, and although his tone was calm, it made those who listened shudder.
"The new member of the Seven, you have also heard our rules, so please go to your place first and tell your story."
Liu nodded his head, and then walked to the only empty seat, but instead of sitting down immediately, he stood there.
He seemed nervous, his chest heaving violently, and the sound of gasping for breath under the mask could be clearly heard.
"Great... Hello everyone, my name is Wu Liang, and I am the fifth middle school of Thorn Tong. . . ”
"Member Seven!"
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
The new member didn't know the rules at all, he was stupid, and his true information was exposed in the first sentence, and he was too nervous to speak too fast, and the president couldn't stop it.
When the woman in the black dress saw the scene in front of her, she covered her stomach and laughed, even exaggerated, and kept slapping her hand on the table.
When Abin heard the name of his school, he immediately fixed his eyes on the new member, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, and even had the idea of running away.
He was scared to meet someone he knew. More afraid, people who know him know about his quirks.
The rest of the members also have their own thoughts.
Some people have some kind of idea in their hearts, some people don't believe it, and some people disdain it.
Inside, the dark tide is surging.
Doctor Gao slowly spoke: "Seventh, the rule of our alliance is that it is best not to easily divulge your true information, so you just need to tell your quirks, understand?" ”
His voice was very gentle, giving people the impression that the elders saw that a child had done something wrong and accused him in a more doting tone.
Liu Liang let out an embarrassed laugh, he felt that it was good to be wearing a mask, otherwise his expression would have to be disguised, it would be too tiring.
"Hello, my quirk is simple, I love fire, and I'm obsessed with it. When I was a child, there was a fire in my home, and after that, I had a pathological fascination with flames. I always think, what to burn. ”
"I think the flame is like a new life, and I am fascinated by the beauty of anything that is burned when it is burned. At first, I just took out my toys and burned them, what kind of robot models, 4WD cars. However, I always find it unsatisfying. ”
"In the end, I burned down my class and my own home. Looking at the fire in the sky, I felt as if I had been sublimated by my soul. ”
"But every time the flame goes out, my heart stops. When I wanted to burn myself, I was scared, and that's why I'm here. ”
After Liu Liang finished speaking, he bowed slightly to everyone very politely, and then sat down in his position.
He felt he was entitled to sit down.
Because at this time in the house, there was no sound.
Each member will not question the authenticity of this matter, because they have all heard about it.
After all, it has only been less than a month since that incident, and it can be said that it was passed down from mouth to mouth at the beginning.
It is not an exaggeration to say that after that incident, the topics discussed during dinner in every house, and the gossip that aunts gathered on the street to talk about, were all talking about this.
The woman in the black dress stopped laughing, and the bald man broke his fingers harder.
On the wall behind the old man, a shadow loomed, but the blurred shadow seemed to be made up of many gray shadows overlapping each other.
The second member has silently changed the next target candidate back to the eighth member in his heart.
And the most excited among the members is Abin.
He remembered that in the 302 class he attended, just a month ago, there was a fire, and the head teacher and more than a dozen classmates were buried in the fire.
It is rumored that this was a deliberate arson, a sacrifice for the oblique believers, not a fire caused by a short circuit in the middle of the night when the teacher taught privately.
After all, even if a teacher wants to earn extra money by teaching classes privately, how can he choose the school where he works openly?
How old does this have to be to dare to do this?
For a time, this incident caused a stir in Licheng, the parents of the students asked the school for an explanation, and the families of the victimized teachers were scolded for no reason.
It stands to reason that the attention should be very high.
But what is puzzling is that the local station news has not been reported, the newspaper has not appeared, and the comments on the Internet about this matter have been blocked one by one.
In the end, they were all suppressed.
At that time, in addition to the fire case in Thorn Tong No. 5 Middle School, there was also a fire in a private house, and a middle-aged couple also suffered misfortune.
It is heard that the children of this middle-aged couple are also among the victims of the fire case in the No. 5 Middle School of Thorn Tong.
It makes people sigh and sigh at the injustice of fate.
Although the two fires occurred on the same day, due to the more popular school fire case, not much attention was paid to the incident, and it was slowly faded into the discussion.
But forgetting does not mean completely forgetting.
Most of the people in the room are locals of Licheng City, and they have a fresh memory of what happened just a month ago.
They no longer laughed at the cautious bear look of the new member when he first arrived.
Affection, this is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
The corners of Dr. Gao's mouth under the mask curled slightly, and he was curious about how this uninvited guest blew up his identity so quickly.
But after thinking about it, there are only three people in this room who are out of control, and for the famous "fire sacrificer" Liu Liang, the other chicks are naturally not clear.
With a light cough, Dr. Gao stretched out his fingers and tapped the table rhythmically, "Okay, I'm sure you don't have any objections, right?" Time is pressing, and the voting session is waived, you say? Member Four? ”
"Huh?" When the bald man heard the president directly call out his name, his hairless head instantly overflowed with cold sweat, and he snapped his fingers and sneered: "Everything that listens to the president, I am not qualified to have objections." ”
Doctor Gao nodded: "So, let's start today's formal conversation, and each member will talk about the improvement of their quirks in the past week, starting with member No. 1." ”
All the members withdrew from their shocked emotions and listened carefully to the narration of the woman in the black dress.
Each of them has quirks, and they're all serious, so even if the new members do something shocking, they're only momentarily surprised.
It's like, watching a mystery anime, and finally knowing who the real murderer is.
Knowing, knowing, just satisfying curiosity.
After all, if what these people did behind their backs was exposed, perhaps none of them would be inferior to this arson.
The voice of the woman in the black dress is very good, a bit like a broadcast host on a late-night radio.
"Hee-hee, thanks to the Mutual Aid Society, I have improved a lot in the last week, and the number of woven iron cages has changed from three to one."
After the woman finished speaking, everyone applauded, and those who did not applaud also nodded their heads in congratulations.
Member No. 1 likes to weave dog cages with wire, and then put his beloved man in it.
She lived with a man, and within a few days, she began weaving dog cages out of wire.
She said she wanted to buy a dog to play with.
The man didn't think much about it, and personally helped her knit together.
In the end, the man didn't expect that the cage was actually prepared for him.
"Thank you, I only have two pets left, I will take good care of them, and try to restrain myself from adopting new pets."
The woman in the black dress got up and gracefully curtsied to everyone, then covered her mouth and snickered.
Then, it was the turn of the two, three, and four, narrating in turn.
The severity of these three people's quirks has not improved much, and it is still so serious.
When they narrate, they don't care at all, as if they are talking about a very ordinary thing.
Number Two said that he still likes to dismantle the doll and put the arms, heads, and thighs of the two dolls back together to form a new doll.
He said that this is a new life, two old dolls, turned into two brand new dolls.
How interesting?
Old man No. 3 still likes to run to the cemetery in the middle of the night, dig open other people's houses, and take other people's boxes.
Last week, he said, there were only five more items in his family's collection, two fewer than last week.
It's already getting better.
Member Four complains that the toys in the house are no longer able to make noises, and no matter how much he breaks them, the bones of the toys can no longer make sounds, as if they have been broken by themselves, and he desperately wants a new toy.
For these three people, Dr. Gao just listened to their results and did not blame.
When it was the drowning man's turn, he hadn't yet spoken, but the second member spoke enthusiastically: "Fifth member, I don't think your quirks have improved." Really, if you don't try my advice and the old man's advice, we will help you catch the person you are afraid of and make you face him, if it really doesn't work, you can go down with a knife and promise. ”
Member Three coughed, and then spoke: "The best way to overcome fear is to face it!" No matter what difficulties we encounter, don't be afraid and face it with a smile! ”
He's still like that, his hands like to gesticulate in the air when he speaks, like a conductor in a symphony orchestra.
Only, it's just a stick.
Drowned: "... ”
The drowning man's eyes were a little uneasy and he looked at the position of the seventh member, although he didn't know the relationship between Liu Liang and Fang Zhe, but he didn't think it was an enemy.
Small droplets of water kept overflowing from the pores, and he didn't dare to speak.
The second member waited a little impatiently: "Oh, you really don't have to be afraid, if you follow someone, you will be scared by the other party, I have never seen someone like you." You are obviously so miserable, entrusted by your friends to follow others, from here to there, from there to this, and then to the shadows. If I had been replaced, I would have gone with a knife a long time ago. Otherwise, how about we help you tie up your friends and the people you are afraid of, so that you can be completely healed? ”
Hearing this, Liu Liang, who had been silent, raised his eyebrows in the bird's beak mask that covered his expression.
Drowned: "... ”
In fact, the second member is not a chivalrous person, he just has itchy hands, and his inner quirks are a little uncontrollable.
I had an argument with the fourth member before, and I wanted to instigate the other party to make the first move, so that the room would be splashed with some blood and warm, but I didn't expect that the bald man was not like a person with developed limbs and a simple mind, so he chose to forbear.
Then he took a fancy to the new member who looked like a lamb, and it turned out that the other party was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing.
The combination of these two events made the second member a little impatient to come out with something new and satisfy his desires.
After all, there are rules in the mutual aid association, and members can help each other correct their quirks, and as for the method of help, anything can be done.
With this kind of justifiable ability to satisfy one's own habits, the second member will be so enthusiastic.
And he also wondered that his mood seemed to be a little wrong today, sometimes anxious, sometimes bored.
The thirst for blood in my heart is getting higher and higher.
It seems that this has been the case since the new members walked into this room.
What is the origin of this guy?
