In fact, the only really toxic cyanides are sodium cyanide, potassium cyanide and hydrocyanic acid. Most of the other substances are not convenient to dissociate cyano ions and are not very toxic.

Its lethality is due to the cytochrome oxidase, which is in the respiratory chain within the mitochondria, and has a strong affinity for cyanide ions. Cyanide ions inactivate them, blocking cellular respiration and oxidative phosphorylation, and eventually death due to lack of oxygen.

"You're ...... Poisoning?"

"It's okay, I know how to save it. I've researched it many times and it's totally fine!"

“...... Give me a little. ”

"Huh, not very well...... Anyway, it's a dangerous ......."

"Otherwise, I'll report to the teacher that you're refining cyanide without permission. ”

"Oh, no! I can't help it......"

She assured Calyx that she would "keep it properly".

Of course, when it comes time to "use properly", this commitment can be suspended.

Insiders must be eliminated.

It's not the first time anyway. It's only been two years, what kind of psychological pressure can there be?

When I took that step, I didn't think about turning back.

The next day, Liu Xili first lied that she was uncomfortable and asked Shi Xue not to disturb her. Close the curtains again and create the illusion that you have been in the dormitory.

After dinner, in a place where the monitor could not see, when Cao Wan took the bottle of juice in her hand that claimed to be "thanks", Cao Wan was not suspicious at all.

The poisoning process lasted a long time due to being diluted somewhat.

Unsteady breathing, fatigue, lightheadedness.

Convulsions, coma, respiratory failure, muscle relaxation.

Cardiac arrest.

Everything was planned.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, we dragged to a place about twenty minutes away from the girls' dormitory - the small fountain square on campus.

Finally, use vines to send yourself in through the window. At this time, Shi Xue was already asleep.

Then kill the robin with a small amount of it, creating the illusion that the calyx has eaten by mistake. Although the order is not the same, the difference is not long enough to be suspicious.

Just wait for tomorrow to see her...... No, wait until it's discovered.

Foolproof, seamless, and unproven.

However, the unexpected happened.

There is no news about calyx.

She took a few more glances as she passed by the square. There are still a lot of people there, and many young couples are talking to me by the fountain.

No body has ever been found, and no rumors of dead people have flowed out.

There is not the slightest abnormality.

Or rather, that's the biggest anomaly.

She even secretly dug up the place where the bottle of juice was buried. I dug for a long time and found nothing...... Who took it? Why is there no news?

As for Shi Xue, she focused all her attention on the robin's corpse.

It's like something out of a horror novel.

Liu Xili never believed in retribution. The so-called reincarnation of cause and effect in the world is nothing but a pretext to bluff people into not doing bad things.

Who's doing it, it's all.

It's still up to you.

Can...... What is the explanation for this vanished corpse?

All day, she frantically inquired about the news of Calyx. To her shock, no one had heard of the name.

The seats that Calyx usually sat in class were empty. She asked, and the students said, who would choose a position so close to the podium?

She snatched the list of school committees, and quickly swept her gaze, but she didn't find her name at all.

Even when you log on to the campus network, the entire academic affairs system can't find out that there is such a person.

It's so weird, it's like this person never existed.

Calyx ...... Is it real?

Even if she had a thousand questions in her mind, she couldn't say them directly.

It's as if everyone is talking about acting and tricking her into telling her about her illegal act of murder.

No way.

Since you want to lie to me and ask, I don't.

Liu Xili gritted her teeth fiercely, so determined.

What she didn't expect was that at this point, there were people other than her who were aware of the existence of Calyx.

That's the manager of the nameless house.

"No kidding, I finally decided to pretend I didn't know about this person. ”

She thought so.

The more she thought about it, the more she looked at the store manager.

If the store manager can know her secrets, he will definitely have the special ability of a misanthrope. Perhaps, she could answer her doubts about Calyx.

If she's in the way......

At the end of the next day's class meeting, she made up her mind to go to the store manager to ask for clarification.

The voodoo doll in front of the store was nailed with two pins. Reflecting the light of the setting sun, it was as if it was watching her.

Push open the door, and the rich smell of incense comes to your face. Today it seems to have changed a fuel. The faint smell of flowers and fruits is mixed with a smell of burnt silk.

But no matter what the smell is, it makes Liu Xili very uncomfortable. She looked at the pile of clutter that was still messy, and let out this emotion:

“...... It's a hell of a fool, Miss Manager. ”

"Yes. Your little friend didn't come with you today. ”

The store manager didn't look up, she was grinding the fuel for incense in a small vessel.

She moves unhurriedly, seemingly unconcerned about what happens next.

"Didn't there be any complaints? It's very disrespectful to pile them on top of each other. ”

"Faith?"

The store manager finally lifted his face and stopped what he was doing.

"The people who really come here for help have no faith. ”

She took a deep breath. Liu Xili stared at her.

"Faith can't answer the questions they need to come here to solve. ”

The store manager finished the sentence. She read the meaning of her words.

When she came here, she had to put aside what she had believed in for a while.

That is your own "way".

"You know everything?"

Liu Xili raised her eyebrows.

"If you mean the poor bird. Yes, of course I do. ”

The face of Koney does not change color.

"What else do you know?"

As she said this, Liu Xili clenched the charm hidden in her pocket.

"I know a lot of things. Let me introduce myself, my name is Koney. That's kind of ...... Last time I didn't politely peek at your name's apology. ”

Konai sat down slightly, dazzled and distraught by the colorful jewels on his fingertips.

"For example?"

"Like the girl with the white hair...... She is not of this world.

There is no shadow of her in countless other parallel worlds, and none of your friends in their lives.

But you're different, you even have a very complete memory of her. I couldn't see the scene further along, but it was enough to prove that the girl named Calyx did exist somewhere. ”

"What......"

"I'm very interested in her, if only I could meet her. But alas, you erased her existence from this world. ”

"Now that you know......"

Liu Xili stepped forward and pulled out the charm in his hand.

The faint candle flame reflected her eyes like a pair of delicate emeralds.

At that moment, someone appeared behind her, holding her waist with one hand and holding a sharp knife against her neck with the other.

"Hey, what if you sell to the store manager and pay your salary at the end of the month?"

A brown-haired boy held her down.

He...... When did it appear?

Damn it.

Liu Xili was unwillingly speechless. She let go of her hand, and the note fell to the ground. The moment it touched the carpet, the spell turned to ashes.

The boy let go of his hand as well.

"Obviously, you gave me the opportunity, and it was you who chose to trust me in the first place, but then killed me...... I've seen too many people like you. ”

"What do you want?"

"Nobody wants to get in trouble, do you? besides, you're a misanthrope. So please go back, stop there, and we'll all act like nothing happened. ”

It's a loss-making deal.

With a sense of resentment, Liu Xili left the nameless house.

But now that the scapegoat is dead, who should she blame on? She doesn't want to be the most suspicious.

Or......

What if everyone was a murderer?

She thought of a good idea.

In the days since, Liu Xili has been giving some hints to Shi Xue every day. She kept urging Shi Xue to leave behind her inhumane encounter.

It's easy for such a fragile person to get depressed, right?

It's easy for such a depressed person to think of suicide, right?

As for whether he really died by suicide...... Who knows.

Before, wasn't there a little girl who was jumping off the building? It seems to be called Nan Xuan or something...... It's related to the boy you like.,Anyway, it's a matter of feelings.。

Whatever. With this criminal record, it is not surprising that a human life will be born.

It's great to be able to get rid of this crybaby soon.

Liu Xili's negative feelings were just disgust at first.

For some reason, the seeds of disgust grew the fruits of hatred.

The fruit gradually ferments, festers with scabs, and eventually rots completely.

Killing intent grew from the stench of this.

Stop pestering me, stop asking what to do, stop crying over inexplicable little things.

Please don't bother me anymore, please shut up, please die.

A whole month has passed, and Shi Xue is getting more and more depressed.

However, Liu Xili did not plan to accompany him during this outing. Although it is a good opportunity to fan the flames, she has to find a time when Shi Xue is not there, and plan something well.

But...... In this troubled summer, the unexpected struck again.

The students of several classes who followed Gu Qiancheng to the beach were killed.

Only a handful survived.

When she first heard about this, Liu Xili was really happy. If the sky is beautiful, you don't even have to make the preparations you have worked so hard to make.

However, Shi Xue still appeared in the dormitory.

Liu Xili's mood is very complicated.

They sat on their beds, staring at each other speechless.

Shi Xue's expression was as lifeless as a few days ago.

But Liu Xili's face was very bad. Looking in the mirror, I guess she will think she is poisoned.
