For a moment, you remember that this was a gift from your tablemate in your senior year of high school.

The illusion became more real.

You sat down, and the "teacher" briefly talked about a few questions and handed out report cards.

You are the last one to get it, and at the top of the report card, is your name.

"Congratulations, Chen Jiang, on your first place."

There was sporadic applause in the classroom, which showed that the students were not enthusiastic.

Soon, the teacher puts away the textbooks and walks out, announcing the rest of the time for self-study.

You keep your head down, attempting to find useful clues in the sea of books around you.

Unfortunately, you flipped through the physics and mathematics, proofreading all the formulas that could go wrong, and found no errors.

The lights in the classroom flickered, you raised your eyes, rubbing the bridge of your nose that was pained by the pressure of your glasses, and the straight backs of your classmates flushed

Sitting in the classroom, there was silence all around.

The lights suddenly went out, the weak current sounded for 2 seconds, and then the lights came back on.

Along with the light, the back of the head, which was originally black, suddenly became a face. Everyone's neck twisted

180 degrees, eyes staring straight at you, but the body does not turn around.

Your scalp tingles and you freeze in place.

"Did you copy it ......"

"Fake your grades ......"

"Death to Chen Jiang ...... Death to Chen Jiang ......"

They suddenly went crazy and their voices gradually became shrill and piercing.

"Chen Jiang, come out of the back door."

A familiar voice comes from the side, you turn your head, He Lanshan standing in the dark aisle, Zhang Wenjie holding his arms in

The newcomer is too weak to even pass this hurdle," the boss said.

There is nothing worse than meeting a familiar face at this moment.

You'd rather be left alone to figure it out than expend energy on judging their authenticity.

You sit still, "Why are you here?"

"Go to the surveillance room, the only way to clear yourself is to get the video."

Horizon is right, you are doing exactly that.

The "students" just stared at you viciously and didn't do anything, instead, He Lanshan and Zhang Wenjie gave you more

Instead, He Lanshan and Zhang Wenjie gave you more pressure.

The three of you are the only ones in the dark school building, and you pretend to be relaxed, "Why didn't I see you just now?

He Lanshan still had the same nonchalant attitude, "The men's room window was locked. After they came in, I lost

I lost consciousness and opened my eyes again and here I am.

As he says this, he looks at you intentionally or unintentionally.

Huangshan is suspecting you.

You were the one who told him that the window of the room at the end of the corridor was broken.

He Lanshan laughed and didn't say anything.

You asked, "How did you two run into each other?"

Zhang Wenjie touched his nose, "I was caught by a monster ...... and woke up lying in the faculty office. The boss was fighting with a

long-necked monster tangled ......"

You nod, the monitoring room is on the top floor.

There was nothing unusual along the way except for the large, blindingly large print.

The door to the surveillance room is wide open as if welcoming your arrival.

Inside the dark cabin, the four-sided screen is constantly flickering, and the signal is sometimes good and bad.

You lie in front of the computer screen and enter the date of the exam day.

A scaled-down version of the exam room is projected on the big screen.

You hold up your phone and record the scene you see.

The student at the back table, hand-delivered the cheat sheet into your pocket, then he turned his head, looked at you off the screen, and with just

With just one glance, you recognized him.

It was the long-necked man who threatened you.

He was the aggressor.

He is also the initiator of school violence.
