"Then let's go back together!"
Somehow, Ichinose's tone suddenly sounded a little expectant.
Do you want to go back together?
Wu Yi slowly typed a question mark.
"Wait, wouldn't it be easy for someone to see us if we do that..."
"Oh, just follow me and you'll find out."
Before he could finish his words, Ichinose took Wu Yi's sleeve with two fingers and ran to an empty corner at the end of the corridor on the second floor.
It turned out that there was a safe passage in use there.
Since there are plenty of elevators in the shopping mall, students generally do not choose to take the safety passage to avoid waiting for the elevator for a long time. Walking here can just serve to conceal their tracks.
After going down from the second floor to the first floor through the emergency passage, just as he was about to push the door open and walk out, Ichinose, who had been walking in front the whole time, stopped.
"Shh-"
The girl made a mysterious gesture to Wu Yi behind her to keep quiet, then carefully looked outside through the small window on the security door. After confirming that there was no one outside, she waved to the back to signal her to follow.
This girl must have played too many stealth games...
Wu Yi thought speechlessly, but still followed behind leisurely with his hands in his pockets.
Then, they arrived at the south gate of the shopping mall.
This is the side gate leading directly to the dormitory building. The brightly lit dormitory building stands in the night in the distance. On the campus avenue in front, many students who come out for shopping at night are walking here.
Wu Yi glanced at Ichinose and gave her a look.
Which means – where to go next?
"Here here."
Without any extra words, Ichinose walked out of the South Gate and continued to pull Wu Yi and ran to the right.
They crossed the narrow junction of the green belt and the outer wall of the shopping mall, then jogged a few steps on the lawn and soon came to a path hidden among the trees and bushes.
This is indeed a hidden path. Although there are no street lights on both sides, there are indeed stone slabs paved in the lawn for people to walk on.
"I didn't expect there was such a place." Wu Yi expressed amazement.
Ichinose hummed a little proudly.
"Well, I just discovered this by accident last week. If you go this way, just turn right in front of you and then walk through three branches to reach the dormitory building without attracting any attention~"
"Well, that seems like a long way to go..."
Wu Yi briefly visualized the route map in his mind, and when he came to his senses, he saw the girl with long pink hair staring at him blankly.
Less than a second later, Ichinose reacted and exclaimed, then quickly waved his hands.
"Well, well...if you think the road is too long, we can just take the main road back. It's okay with me..."
"Okay, let's just follow your route, Ichinose."
Wu Yi stepped forward and patted the girl on the shoulder.
"Let's just take a walk after dinner."
"……Um!"
Upon hearing that there was no rush to go back, Ichinose became happy again, jumping around like a happy little rabbit.
And speaking of which, the reason why she knew these strange routes must be because of what happened on the forum before, in order to avoid other people's sight...
Wu Yi recalled the distraught look of Ichinose that he had seen before.
"By the way, after you, Ichinose, posted a clarification on the forum last night, did Ryuuen take any further action afterwards?"
"Um~ No."
Shaking her head slightly, Ichinose took out her cell phone from her skirt pocket and unlocked the screen. The faint light that lit up in the darkness dispelled the small patch of darkness.
Wait, since you already have a bag, why don’t you put your phone in it?
Wu Yi, who saw this scene, complained in his heart, and at the same time, Ichinose had already opened the school forum, came over and handed the phone to him.
"Look, there have been no more anonymous posts since I posted the clarification yesterday~"
"Yeah."
Feeling the amazing elasticity on his arm, Wu Yi nodded thoughtfully.
And Ichinose seemed to be unaware of it. He took Wu Yi's arm and clicked on the only post on his account, which was the clarification video from yesterday, and scrolled to the comment section.
"Look, everyone in the comment section is very kind."
"Um……"
It is true. Although people now say that the Internet is not a lawless place, the fact is that except for some major issues, the virtual world of the Internet is really a lawless place most of the time, especially for some little kids who like to gossip.
But at a glance under Ichinose's clarification video, all you can see are comments like "Keep it up" and "Don't give up", and the comment section has nearly two hundred floors.
You have to know that there are only more than a hundred people in a grade.
"But there is one thing that is rather unfortunate..."
Ichinose suddenly changed the subject, his tone gradually becoming more resentful.
"Why didn't Wu Yi comment on the video even though she had watched it?"
"…Didn't I make a comment?"
"When?"
"Just yesterday."
Wu Yi was a little confused.
"You called me last night and asked me how I was, and I said I was fine."
"Well……"
It was indeed the truth, and Ichinose could only pout speechlessly.
But she quickly let go of that little emotion and showed her usual cheerful smile.
"Well, forget it. Compared to this, I have another gift I want to give to you, Wu Yi."
"Oh huh?"
“That’s it…”
As she spoke, Ichinose unzipped her bag which she hadn't opened all night, and took out a piece of chocolate that was carefully wrapped in gift paper.
"Well, although it's a little late now, but this chocolate...can you...can you accept it? I have never given chocolate to anyone else...I can only use this to thank you..."
The girl, who had been speaking fluently, suddenly began to stutter. After stumbling for a long time, she finally stopped and took a deep breath. The deep twilight concealed the blush on her face.
"Um...anyway...Happy Valentine's Day."
"Thank you."
Without refusing, Wu Yi accepted it with both hands.
Volume 275: Chapter If he is not decent, then help him be decent
It has been a while since Ichinose sent the Valentine's Day gift. Days passed one by one, and finally it was the day before the final day of the temporary additional assessment.
On this day, all the first-grade Class A students saw Wu Yi on the podium as soon as they arrived in the classroom in the morning.
However, no one stepped forward to ask what was going on, and everyone knew that this day would eventually come.
Although Wu Yi's answer to anyone who asked about the traitors in the class these days was always the ambiguous "We'll know when the time comes", no one doubted that this purge would eventually come.
Moreover, before the purge is actually carried out, publicizing the evidence and reading out the trial results are also essential steps.
From 7:30 in the morning until 7:50, Wu Yi sat on the podium, leisurely crossing one leg and playing with his mobile phone without raising his head.
Not until everyone arrived did Chabashira Sae walk into the classroom on time.
Seeing Wu Yi sitting on the podium, the female teacher who was wearing a black silk suit and was about to walk up to the podium stopped immediately. She didn't say anything but raised her eyebrows with interest.
"Well, it looks like everyone is here..."
As the bell for the morning class rang, Wu Yi put away his phone, looked around, and then looked towards the classroom door, where his head teacher was leaning against the wall and slacking off.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chabashira, can you let me take this morning class?"
"random."
In line with what she said, Chabashira Sae gracefully made a gesture of invitation.
"Fine."
Wu Yi nodded, reached out to open the projector controller cover on the upper left corner of the podium table next to him, and skillfully operated it twice to turn on the projector, and the screen slowly lowered.
Then he took out a data cable from his body, connected one end to the mobile phone and the other end to the projector, and projected the screen of the mobile phone onto the projector.
While the curtain was still lowering, Wu Yi put his phone aside and looked up at the whole class below.
"Okay, in the past month or so, I have not directly answered any of your questions about the exam, but today is different. You can ask me anything you want to know, right now."
After saying this, he spread his hands towards the audience, indicating that everyone could speak freely.
Two seconds later, Kouenji was the first to raise his hand... No, it was more like he just waved his hand rather than raising it to speak, his legs crossed arrogantly on the table, still looking beautiful as if he was alone.
"Hey, everyone seems very shy, so I'll be the first one to try it out. My question is very simple and there's only one. So many days have passed, have you found the traitor?"
"Of course, why would I be sitting here if I didn't find it?"
Wu Yi picked up the mobile phone connected to the projector that was placed on the table next to him and shook it.
"Now the decisive evidence of the traitor's betrayal of the class is stored here. Don't worry, I will show it to you later..."
"Wait, Wu Yi, do you mean to directly display the evidence here later?"
Before he finished speaking, Hirata Yosuke hurriedly stood up.
Wu Yi glanced at him.
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"Well... I just feel..."
As if he felt embarrassed to say what was to come, Hirata Yosuke spoke haltingly.
"What do you think?"
"I just think that students who made mistakes should be given a chance..."
"No way. I've told you, no betrayal is so small that it can be forgiven."
Wu Yi replied in a decisive tone.
"Besides, Hirata, you are not the inner demon. I am curious why you are speaking for the inner demon?"
"I……"
Hirata lowered his head slightly and clenched his fists in confusion.
"I just don't want to see any more students drop out of school."
"To be honest, I wouldn't want to if I could help it."
Wu Yi said calmly.
"But if the traitor is not eliminated this time, I think you will soon see other people in our class dropping out. Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to your companions. I think you should be very clear about this principle."
"I know, but I think that student may have been threatened by Class D and had no choice but to..."
Although Hirata's words seemed to be an excuse for the betrayer, they did make sense to others.
After all, despicable tricks like threats and deception are indeed the style of Class D, and we don't live in the Warhammer world. In modern society, everyone attaches more importance to their own interests. Once faced with unavoidable threats, they usually choose to give in.
"Unfortunately, that's not the case, Hirata-san."
When the voice sounded, Yukinoshita Haruno, who was sitting in the back row, stood up and spoke.
"Although this traitor was indeed threatened by Class D and betrayed the class, I still want to ask, if it was you, Hirata-san, who was threatened and had to compromise temporarily, how would you deal with it afterwards?"
"…I don't understand what you mean, Yukinoshita-san."
"What I mean is—"
