"Why ......"

"W-What, why?"

Shi Xue's eyes suddenly dodged a little. She seems to know Liu Xili's problem, but if she doesn't see Huang He, she won't give up, and if she doesn't hear her tell the reason in person, she will never face it.

She's such an evasive personality.

"Why didn't you die there? ”

"Huh......?"

She spoke up.

She really said it.

Suddenly, thick green plants rushed in through the open window and hit Shixue in a trance.

She was pressed against the wall, vines locking her throat.

"Forget it, that's how it was intended. Someone like you, even if he hangs himself, no one will suspect it. ”

Shi Xue's eyes were a little bulging, and her mouth was wide open, but she couldn't make any sound.

Liu Xili's broken phrase stumbled into her ears, making her feel extremely cold.

She struggled in vain.

Liu Xili raised her hand to control the vines and took a few steps back.

Her green eyes glistened with water, and her hands trembled.

It's not remorse, it's not fear.

It's a heartfelt ecstasy.

It's like ...... It's like you're about to make a dream come true.

Yes, dreams. It is the joy of reaching the long-awaited achievement of life and gambling everything, like a dream, to achieve that thing.

She may have rehearsed it in her mind countless times, today's dialogue, and today's scene.

It was never the only straw that crushed the camel to death, and the last straw was by no means the only one.

Rather, it is a protracted, resentful precipitation.

The whites of Shi Xue's eyes were bloodshot.

Finally......

At this moment, her pupils suddenly faded in color, and then, they became vivid again.

It's a striking orange.

The vines burst into scorching flames.

Indescribable shock swept over us. Liu Xili suddenly let go of her hand, and in shock, she watched as the vines turned into ashes.

There was also the smell of scorched plants in the air. A faint smoke wafted through the dormitory.

"Ahem, ahem...... I...... Actually, cough cough cough...... Listen to me......"

She coughed violently, breathing greedily for air. But because of the burning of the plants, the air in the room was not so clean, and instead a lot of smoke was inhaled into her lungs, which made her even more uncomfortable.

But what is more uncomfortable in my heart is obviously another person.

Liu Xili never thought that such a weak and hesitant guy like a robin......

He even had the courage to face death.

"Y-when?"

“...... High school. ”

"Oh...... It turns out that it was really a suicide, wasn't it a prank?"

"Yes...... Ahem, yes......"

The snow slowed down for a while. The smoke was still a little choking, and when she gasped, she coughed for a long time.

After the smoke cleared, Shi Xue took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry! I know you don't like me...... But I don't want to have no friends!"

Liu Xili took a step back, but her eyes had returned to their original blackness.

"Then you know me...... Why do I hate you?"

"I ...... Not very clear. But I—I don't want to be alone. It's scary to be alone, I'm so lonely. Even if it's a superficial friend, it's good to lie to me......"

Liu Xili cast a gaze at the insect.

"Why do you say you're disgusting...... It's this unconsciousness, this self-righteousness. ”

"I ......"

"Who do you think you are, who do you think I am? I don't lack friends, I don't need friends, don't use your standards to measure other people's lives!"

"But, when I was in high school, you were basically alone in ......."

"So don't dictate my life!"

"No, I ......"

"Also, you know that Chonglin likes you, right? You can be unscrupulous just because of other people's likes? Or do you want to say that you don't think, it's just an ordinary friend?"

"I ...... I'm sorry. I know, I know it. ”

Shi Xue's voice suddenly lowered.

"I just...... Don't know what to do. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. ”

"Stop saying those nasty things. Shut up, no one wants to hear your apology. ”

"Yes...... Good. Actually, I know all about it. I know who doesn't like me, who likes me, I'm just running away...... I don't want to lose a single friend. You've always been calm and strong, and I've always longed for you, so ......"

So?

Liu Xili stared at her.

"So I killed all the people who might get in my way. ”

......

She looked at her, at her bright orange eyes.

It doesn't seem like this can come out of Shi Xue's mouth.

A feeling that was even more shocking than before firmly caught Liu Xili.

“...... What do you mean?"

"I can change the temperature of anything and make it reach freezing or boiling point instantaneously. ”

Liu Xili looked at the ashes of the plants on the ground and did not answer.

"Whether it's a tsunami or a so-called offshore current speculated by experts, it's all fake. It's the temperature of the water......"

"You ......"

"Rather than letting someone else do it to me, it's better to strike first. You're right, if they kill my bird today, they will probably kill me tomorrow...... It's better to sit back and wait, than to fight back. So, have I become a little stronger? Do I have the qualifications to be your friend now?"

Could it be that when she fell into the pond, she saw those ......

She had known since that time that it was ......

Liu Xili was not sure, her mind was messed up.

Shi Xue's gaze, which has always been timid and evasive, is now occupied by one, or more, a variety of unknown emotions. Liu Xili couldn't tell what it was, but she had never seen it.

She doesn't recognize her anymore. In other words, the current Shi Xue is like a stranger she has never met so far, an unknown person.

Strange maniac.

She always thought that she was the only one who could hide herself.

"Alright, alright...... Liu Xili raised her hand, "Let's all take a step back and sit down and rest." ”

They sat facing each other on the bed again.

This time, no one looked at anyone. Shi Xue stroked her hair silently.

After being silent for a while, Liu Xili got up and brought the thermos pot and filled their cups with water.

Shi Xue took her cup and whispered thank you.

Liu Xili also took a sip of water. I just spoke too loudly, and now my throat hurts.

Shi Xue's throat was also uncomfortable. As if to decompress, she poured water into her stomach.

"You just said ...... You know how we feel, don't you?"

"Well, yes......"

"Then ...... It should not be forgiven. ”

Liu Xili looked at her directly, and her tone became extremely cold in an instant.

Shi Xue suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her mouth and throat.

Feel...... The mucous membranes are very burned.

Unsteady breathing, fatigue, lightheadedness.

Convulsions, coma, respiratory failure, muscle relaxation.

Cardiac arrest.

Shi Xue's cup fell to the ground, and the whole person fell from the bed heavily.

So, everything was planned.

Really, thankfully she was eliminated.

Otherwise, I don't know what else this female madwoman can do to herself in the future.

It's already dark.

Sending the corpse down the stairs with plants. And then...... Hurry up and bury it in the old playground.

At night, no one generally walks on the mosquito-infested lawn. And it is surrounded by bushes, and few people pay attention to it.

"Stop for a moment. Ah yes, it's you, Miss Liu. ”

Some familiar sounds.

This voice that threatened her, she will never forget in her life.

Staring at the boy standing under the tree, Liu Xili was ready to fight.

"You...... It turned out to be from the same school. ”

"Don't get excited, friend. To show my sincerity, I will also introduce myself - I am Jiang Shuo, a member of the first class of heavenly things. But it doesn't matter, I want to discuss one thing with you. ”

"Let's get it straight. ”

"The calyx, as well as potassium cyanide, have told me Konay, you don't have to hide it. Help me send a text message to Chonglin and do what I say. When I got the smoke out of you, I knew you were going to do it. ”

"Then Calyx's corpse is also your ......"

"No, I really don't know. Don't be nervous, I'm not here to threaten you. Next, I will do the same thing as you...... I'm making an exchange. I can handle them without being discovered, and as long as I live, they will never be discovered. ”

Beneath the street lamps, their shadows blend perfectly with the shadows of the trees.

"You just have to deal with all the potential evidence that is relevant to you. Jiang Shuo added.

His eyes, like those of Westerners, shone blue.

“...... Deal. ”

After that, Jiang Shuo explained the content of some text messages to her.

In an instant of speaking, he vanished—along with the corpses on the ground.

It was late at night.

Back in the dormitory, Liu Xili collapsed on the bed tiredly.

Okay, that's it...... It's okay.

As for the two people in the nameless house, there is still a long time in the future, and this account can be calculated slowly.

Oh, retribution, impossible.

I have been walking my own "Tao" for more than ten years.

It must not be easily destroyed by your group.

In the beginning, it was a trivial matter.

Gradually, the unbearable droplets of water called small things gradually converged.

Eventually, a painful sea was formed.

The outside world's emotions towards her are like this, but unlike Shi Xue, her counterattack against the outside world is also the same.

At first, it was harmless forbearance.

Gradually, the never-ending forbearance was as hot and vivid as magma.

Outbreak and extinction are just momentary decisions.

But once a decision has been made, there is no room for reversal.

She had already been prepared for such an awareness.

Ah, yes, the evidence.

Suddenly remembering this, she straightened up from the bed and prepared to clean up the cups on the table.

The rope in the drawer will be burned in a moment.

Liu Xili picked up the wooden cork on the table, turned around, and didn't notice that the kettle was at her feet.

She tripped and fell.

The kettle fell to the ground, and the cooled water gurgled to the ground.

...... Wait a minute, that, isn't the power strip ......?!

Thoughts surged up from the depths of memory, and the same electric current struck the final chapter of the story.

This is probably what is called ......

Karma bar.
