Stray Chapter 150: The difference between martyrs
"Hey, have you heard? Teacher Hippo doesn't seem to teach sports anymore?"
"Huh? He doesn't teach sports anymore, so what are you going to teach? Are you going to be a physics teacher for us?"
"I don't know either. Let's see how the school will arrange it in the future."
When I came to school in the morning, Xia Ran sat in her seat and listened carefully to the conversations of the students around who had arrived in the classroom early.
After all, this is the first time to do something in the real world. Although I am confident that I am very measured, I have indeed cleaned up all the traces, and nothing will happen. However, he still subconsciously wanted to see if it caused too much trouble.
But as he had expected before - whether on the road or after arriving at school, what people were discussing had nothing to do with what happened last night.
Like now, the topic of the surrounding classmates is about the change of appointment of a very popular PE teacher, but he doesn't know who the hippo teacher is, because he doesn't really go to school at all. gym class.
And not only in school, even if he took out his mobile phone and tried to search for news on the Internet, he found that although there were relevant reports in this regard, he took it with a few understatements.
About last night, things happened unnoticed. Even the gunshot didn't make too many people aware that it was a discordant sound.
First, the soundproofing of the bar is good. Originally, this design was convenient for the group of people to do some cruel things in it, but in the end it became their reminder...
Secondly, it is because there are not many people who have the experience of frequent contact with firearms. Even if they happen to hear the faint gunshots, they will only subconsciously use their past experience to speculate.
In addition, the whole incident did not affect innocent people from beginning to end. Even if the police did find some problems, they were probably happy to suppress the matter, make the big things small and the small ones nothing.
Besides, Xia Ran is not the kind of unscrupulous killer who can kill or bury——
He was kind enough to let those corpses clean up the scene, disguised to a certain extent, and then left some of the more normal corpses, and those unexplainable corpses were transported out by them by various means to achieve reorganization. Zero batch evacuations...
Therefore, a brutal result of infighting among the core members of a gang, or a power struggle, is forged.
Basically, after anyone discovers the scene, they will probably think in this direction subconsciously... Maybe if the police are more competent and carry out a serious investigation, they can still find some clues.
But how is this possible?
This kind of thing is not particularly rare in the red light district. It happens once during breakfast and once during dinner... The police don't have so much energy to focus on this kind of thing.
Another important reason is that other gang forces will quickly annex the territory and then quickly digest it. Those people are not obliged to properly keep the crime scene for the police to investigate slowly... So basically it is impossible to investigate anything.
And judging from the news, you can also see the official attitude towards this matter - the incident last night did not attract much attention at all, and Xia Ran's decision was also correct. All gangsters are overrun.
If the action is so amazing, then the official will really be stimulated...
Xia Ran, completely relieved, took out her extracurricular book contentedly, ready to start the rhythm of the new day. But after thinking about it, he felt that he seemed to have overlooked something, so he turned his head and looked behind him.
The girl in the back seat didn't know when she was already sitting there, or it should be said that she had been sitting there all the time, looking calm, but after seeing him turn around, she also glanced at him.
The two stared at each other silently for several seconds.
"What's the matter, Xia Ran?"
"Ahem... I'm sorry, Kato-san, I didn't see you just now, so I didn't say hello to you."
Xia Ran remembered what he had overlooked, but people don't fall in the same place twice, so this time he didn't ask when the other party came, because this situation is obviously that Kato Megumi early Sit in the classroom.
It's just that the level of the "Aura Masking" skill she possesses may be too high, not A-level at least B+ level, Xia Ran still didn't notice her right away this time, and only realized it later. remember.
"Huh? What are you talking about, Xia Ran, I just came in and sat down..." Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly, looking at him in confusion.
“…”
“…”
What should I say? After all, people stumble, horses stumble, and it's normal to fall twice in the same place... right?
Seeing Xia Ran's strange expression, Kato Megumi seemed to understand something, and her expression became a little more subtle.
But soon, she packed up her mood and said calmly: "It's nothing, classmate Xia Ran, I'm used to things like this, it's normal for you not to notice... Speaking of which, I really am a very simple person, am I right?"
Although the front is still regrettable and calm, when it comes to the back, the girl is probably a little lonely and sad, and blurted out the word almost masochistically.
Xia Ran was stunned for a moment, then shook her head decisively, slammed the table firmly and said: "No! Kato-san, you are definitely not simple..."
Because the movement was a bit loud, the class was quiet for a while, and the surrounding students looked over subconsciously. Kato Megumi was also a little flustered, and whispered his name, trying to make him stop.
But Xia Ran doesn't regard the people around him as people at all. When he is doing his own thing, his subconscious will always automatically filter out the irrelevant people around him and treat them as pumpkins.
So he stared intently at the girl in the back seat, took a deep breath, and expressed his true feelings from the bottom of his heart——
"Kato-san, you are definitely not plain! You have no sense of existence at all!"
“…”
“…”
Kato Megumi looked at him dumbfounded: "You...Aren't you going to encourage me?" She was a little moved just now, because the other party had such a big reaction because of her self-deprecation, but she didn't expect it. It was such an expansion.
"Huh? Of course not!" Xia Ran gave her a strange look, "And encouragement or something is impossible at all..."
Speaking of this, it seems that I can start from a useful point of view, Xia Ran quickly said: "By the way, do you want to try adding the suffix "Akalin" at the end of every sentence after speaking ? This should reinforce the presence. "
“…”
“…”
"No, I think this will only make me look weird." Kato Megumi took a deep breath and seemed to regain that calm quickly, but she suddenly didn't want to talk to this guy .
"What you want is to be weird! Otherwise, how can you increase your sense of presence... Think about it, do you want to be a person without a sense of existence, or do you want to be a strange person?" Xia Ran followed suit.
"Eh? Can't you do it all?" Kato Megumi seemed to be completely back to normal, the impact of what just happened on her didn't seem to exist, and her face became paler and less individual.
"...Also." Xia Ran felt a subtle sense of frustration and sighed, "But don't you think about changing yourself?"
"Change yourself?"
"Yes, I think you are so unremarkable right now, it's just because you're too low-key... You didn't join any clubs, and you didn't join any small circles. It seems that you don't even have friends in class, and you don't usually have any friends. No matter how you speak, you will naturally not be noticed."
Xia Ran also became serious, and carefully analyzed the reason for her.
"People's attention is limited, and they won't pay attention to all people. Since you have no special relationship with everyone in the class, and you don't have any friends, you will naturally be ignored by others. ."
There are so many classmates in the class, if there is one person who is neither his friend, nor will he take the initiative to talk, and have nothing to do with each other, then most people will not pay attention to each other, right?
"Then what should I do?" Kato Megumi was slightly confused.
"Well... how about adding a mouth fetish at the end of the sentence da☆za?" Xia Ran once again made his unreliable suggestion.
"..." The girl's expression became very pale unconsciously.
……
……
After school at 3:30 in the afternoon, Xia Ran appeared in the club's activity room on time.
But this time, he found that he was the third person to arrive at the event room. Yukinoshita and Hikigu had arrived early, and they were arguing about something. When they saw him coming in, they said hello.
"However, I think Totsuka's idea of asking me to join the club is right, as long as it can pose a threat to the tennis club members. A new member is like a shot in the arm, they should change? "
"I don't care if you retire or not, I just kindly remind you, do you think you can really integrate into the group activities of those normal clubs? It's impossible for the other party to accept a creature like you."
"What do you mean by a creature like me?" Bi Qigu's dead fish eyes looked even more powerless.
"Anyway, you'd better wake up." Yukinoshita looked down at the book and said in a more indifferent tone, completely disregarding Qi Qigu's whims.
"Okay, then... for Totsuka, is there any way to make the tennis club stronger?" Hikigu sighed, thought carefully, and asked again.
I don't know who the Totsuka he was talking about actually made him so concerned, even Xia Ran was a little surprised.
"Let them run until they die, swing until they die, and practice until they die," Yukinoshita said calmly.
"Is this...isn't it too scary?" Hikigu's expression changed slightly, and he took a few steps back in fright.
"Otherwise? Is there any way other than practicing hard... Are you going to let me do a magic trick for you to make them stronger all at once?" Yukinoshita let out a sigh-like laughter. "Since this is their ideal, are you unwilling to even pay a little price for your own ideal and overcome obstacles?"
"But practice to death... it doesn't seem like a price at all." Hikigu looked at someone subconsciously, wanting to ask for help.
"I think Yukinoshita is right. Since it is his own ideal, then he should do whatever it takes to realize it, even if the cost is his life." Xia Ran gave her opinion with a firm expression on her face.
"There's no need to do this, you're not a martyr... Xia Ran, if your ideal is hindered, will you really use your life to achieve it?" Hikigu smiled bitterly. Can't understand these two people.
"Of course not. I am more inclined to use the lives of people who hinder me to achieve my ideals."
