Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1731 In the Deadly Game 18

The kaleidoscope protected Ling Jiushi, and Sasako and the classmates behind her who had also lost their left legs instantly disappeared from Ling Jiushi's sight. Ling Jiushi quickly put the kaleidoscope back into the basket, rushed out of the teaching building, and returned to the dormitory safely.

In the dormitory, Jiang Xinxin had already discovered that Ling Jiushi was missing. She was about to take everyone out to look for him, but she almost bumped into him when she opened the door.

Ling Jiushi didn't explain too much, but simply said, "I found a basket containing a kaleidoscope in a room in the teaching building. It was that kaleidoscope that helped me hide from Zuozi and those classmates who also lost their left legs."

But everyone seemed to have arrived a little late. Ling Jiushi found the correct room. The other furnishings were unchanged, but the basket containing the kaleidoscope was missing from the windowsill.

Everyone left disappointed. When they tried to close the door to Guanshan's room, Zuozi's figure appeared at the window, holding someone and blocking the way. Jiang Xinxin felt something and looked back at the room she had just entered. She said to everyone, "It seems that if the kaleidoscope was not made by Zuozi herself, then the person who gave it to Zuozi still has a chance to survive."

Li Dongyuan asked directly out of curiosity: "Miss Jiang, you haven't even seen the kaleidoscope, yet you say it belongs to Zuozi?"

Jiang Xinxin smiled and said, "Not only do I dare to guess that the owner of the kaleidoscope is Zuozi, I also dare to assert that the kaleidoscope was given to Zuozi by Jiang Xinhong."

"If you don't believe me, let's go find Jiang Xinhong to confirm it, how about that?"

Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi both knew that Jiang Xinxin was definitely going to look for Jiang Xinhong, and they said this to Li Dongyuan and Zhuang Rujiao just to liven up the atmosphere.

Li Dongyuan also understood what Jiang Xinxin meant, but Zhuang Rujiao nodded seriously: "Miss Jiang, I think your guess is definitely correct."

Zhuang Rujiao explained, "Ling Jiushi said that after he got the Mangekyo, Zuozi let him go. This means that the Mangekyo must be very important to Zuozi."

"As for whether this kaleidoscope was made by Sako herself or given to her by someone else, I don't think it matters. Anyway, Sako definitely has a boy she likes in her heart, and this boy is not completely indifferent to Sako."

Ruan Lanzhu only shared the situation inside this door with Li Dongyuan. Now it seems that Li Dongyuan also shared some information with Zhuang Rujiao, but did not tell him all of it.

As they walked towards Jiang Xinhong's classroom, they discussed the deeper message behind the door: "Although Zuozi's car accident was an accident, Jiang Xinhong and Mou Kai were present at the scene. Zuozi most likely asked them for help, but Mou Kai refused. Jiang Xinhong, whether actively or passively, also allowed Zuozi to die."

"That kaleidoscope must have been given to Zuozi by Jiang Xinhong. Zuozi also liked Jiang Xinhong, but she didn't expect that Jiang Xinhong not only failed to protect her but also allowed her to be hurt and even... killed."

Zhuang Rujiao understood immediately, "So, there are still two people that Zuozi hasn't taken revenge on. One is Mou Kai, who brought her endless suffering, and the other is Jiang Xinhong, who coldly watched all her misery?"

Jiang Xinxin nodded. "That's right. Even the death of Zuozi's parents was caused by Mou Kai. That's why Zuozi was able to attend this aristocratic high school. That's why the homeroom teacher said that Zuozi's path to transfer was cut off."

Zhuang Rujiao retched twice. This generation of young people in China had never experienced such terrible events. He immediately supported Zuozi in seeking revenge on Mou Kai and Jiang Xinhong: "Those people may not deserve to die, but Mou Kai and Jiang Xinhong are undoubtedly the executioners and they should pay with their lives!"

Jiang Xinhong was easy to find. Ruan Lanzhu said to him directly, "Zuozi has been looking for classmates from your former class. Although we don't have any evidence now, you and Mou Kai should be the only two survivors."

"We could certainly kill Saeko to get the key and the door's location, but now we realize that bringing you and Mou Kai to Saeko might be a better solution than killing her."

Jiang Xinhong was originally just a high school student. His wealthy family background certainly gave him a broader knowledge than ordinary people, but it also made him realize his own insignificance, especially with the contrast of Mou Kai next to him.

So after he broke down, he quickly made a decision: "Some things are indeed unavoidable. I am willing to take you to find Mou Kai, and I am even more willing to meet Zuo Zi. You are really different from the people who passed by me before."

Jiang Xinhong didn't rush to take everyone to find Mou Kai. Instead, he led everyone to the Grade 12 classroom in the old campus. He pointed to the desk in the corner that was obviously far away from everyone else and said, "That's Zuozi's seat. It's closest to the trash can and farthest from everyone else..."

Saeko's textbooks were scattered on the floor of the classroom, and there was a big word "Get Out" written on the table.

Ling Jiushi sat in Lu Zuozi's seat, reached out to touch the big word "Get Out", and was instantly brought into Lu Zuozi's perspective.

Ling Jiushi saw only sneers, ridicules, and all kinds of unbearable curses and insults all around him. Even though Ling Jiushi himself had experienced being isolated and ridiculed, he could not bear what Lu Zuozi had experienced.

Breaking away from Lu Zuozi's perspective, Ling Jiushi looked straight at Jiang Xinhong, "Even a grown man from society like me couldn't stand those unbearable experiences. And Lu Zuozi didn't even think about committing suicide after what she went through. Do you know why?"

Jiang Xinhong shrank back, avoiding Ling Jiushi's gaze. No one else said anything, but just looked at Jiang Xinhong quietly with a little contempt.

Only Zhuang Rujiao couldn't stand Jiang Xinhong's behavior. She pouted and said, "Lu Zuozi is really blind. You are only causing her trouble, but she likes you and regards you as her pillar of survival. As a result—"

"Ah!"

Jiang Xinxin also said, "If you were sixteen or seventeen, you might indeed be powerless in the face of power, but in the world of the Gate, you are no longer the innocent high school student you were back then, and yet you still can't do anything for Lu Zuozi!"

Zhuang Rujiao quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, as an NPC, I don't believe you don't know anything."

Everyone glared at Jiang Xinhong. Jiang Xinhong hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped pretending to be cowardly. He looked more pleasing to the eye with his back straightened.

"You think I haven't thought of a solution?!"

"I thought about it. The moment I realized the world had changed, I mustered up the courage to report the Mou Kai family. As a result, my family was shattered, while the Mou Kai family remained unscathed. Instead, my family and Zuozi's family were branded as ungrateful wolves!"

"After starting over, I rushed into Mou Kai's house and killed everyone in his family, but I didn't expect that things would go back to the starting point!"

"So, you who know nothing, what on earth are you trying to accuse me of from your moral high ground?"
