"Buzz!"
"Exam King's School Uniform" spontaneously flew out of Bai Zhou's arms and suspended in mid-air.
The notebook Class Monitor Xiao Fang left behind also glowed and slowly hung from the ground.
The light on the school uniform shows a dull gray-black color, while the notebook glows with a pure white translucent light.
The gray-black light lingers around the negative emotions that make people sad, sad, guilty and depressed; while the translucent White Light on the notebook faintly conveys joyful laughter and warm hope.
"A notebook and school uniform... can these things be combined into a linked set?"
One black and one white, reflecting each other in the air, causing Bai Zhou's face to change slightly, and he quickly turned around to block these two things.
Fortunately, the grove was quiet enough, and no students came around.
"This realm is like an egg, spotless!"
Bai Zhou silently raised the middle finger of his right hand, opened his mouth and bit it, and the blood soaked the lines engraved on the middle finger.
After a tingling sensation, the micro Ritual was lit up.
Bai Zhou chanted the spell in a low voice:
"Bloqueo--!"
As a result, a "∞" symbol composed of densely packed extremely tiny characters lit up at Bai Zhou's fingertips.
"Buzz!"
Three translucent curtains were stretched around, blocking the sight of passers-by.
Reappearance of Ritual about "curtain" and "blockade".
A simple and crude miniature version of the secret Ritual that Crow once deployed in the base.
Ritual's way is broad and profound.
Even Crow is a Seeker in this regard, but there is a huge difference from the Ritual Master she said can change the direction of world war just by changing the words.
As for Bai Zhou... it is Apprentice in Apprentice.
Therefore, many Ritual, even if it is only the entry-level basic version, the current Bai Zhou still cannot be mastered.
For a beginner like him, laying out these complex and varied Rituals takes time and materials, and success is not guaranteed.
But now is the time to escape and time is running out.
In order to solve this problem, Ya simply simplified several convenient and commonly used Ritual, made a miniature Ritual with much weakened effect, and engraved it on the finger of Bai Zhou.
For example, Bai Zhou is the hypnotic Ritual on the right index finger, and another example is this one.
The other eight fingers correspond to the micro-Ritual commonly used by Bai Zhou to strengthen itself.
Such as adrenaline burst, acceleration, physical strengthening, etc...
Although the effect is much worse than the original Ritual, it is better than the instant one!
Instant!
When needed, these Ritual can be triggered instantly with just a bit of corresponding media, which is quick and convenient.
Bai Zhou himself couldn't draw such fine instant Ritual Symbol. These were created by Crow holding her Great Tang Saber, which was longer than her own, by holding Bai Zhou's fingers and micro-carving them one by one on his ten fingers.
At first, Bai Zhou looked at Crow taking out such a big knife and gesticulating with his fingers, his face turned green like a goblin.
He trembled and brainstormed for a long time, thinking about all the bad things he had done recently, and he could not figure out where he had offended his eldest sister, so that he needed to cut off his fingers to apologize.
Even in Black Robe, this is quite a serious organizational punishment!
... But later, Bai Zhou only regretted that he didn't have a few more fingers.
"Buzz..."
The wind stopped flowing here, and everything in the grove returned to silence. Only the sound of school uniforms and laptops could be heard resonating.
Bai Zhou unexpectedly discovered that there is a linkage effect between them.
When the two emotions were combined, they actually vaguely reflected the shadow of a school.
This school looks similar to Yuanmeng Middle School, with students coming and going, lifelike.
"Is this...?"
The first moment he saw this school, Bai Zhou felt a sense of suffocation and oppression.
It was obvious that he had absolutely no interest in school, but when he saw this school, he was like a prisoner facing trial seeing an open prison Great Door. He wanted to stay away from it from the bottom of his heart and felt inexplicable awe.
"What is this!"
Forcibly looking away, Bai Zhou realized that unknowingly, even just looking at the "school", his whole body had become stiff, as if he had voluntarily put on heavy shackles without any distracting thoughts.
The only regret is that Bai Zhou currently doesn't know what the school's reflection can be used for, because it is not "complete".
Is it a projection? Is it a map? Is it a prison? Or simply summon a school to come out and hit someone on the head?
No one knows.
The shadow of this school, which is jointly reflected by two objects, is so faint that it is almost invisible. In the white Sun Below, it almost blends into the transparent air.
Can't be driven, can't be used, and isn't really reflected.
It's like... something is missing!
"This shortcoming should come from the notebook left by Fang Xiaoyan." Bai Zhou pondered.
The answer is quite simple, because Bai Zhou saw a steady stream of gray-black light coming out of the school uniform, but the light coming from the laptop was just a little bit off.
The lack of balance between black and white may be the reason why the "suit effect" cannot be truly reflected.
So, Bai Zhou carefully reached out and took the notebook out of the air.
As expected, the school's projection disappeared, and the school uniform slowly fell down, and was caught by Bai Zhou.
Holding a yellowed notebook in one hand and an old-fashioned school uniform in the other, Bai Zhou had a feeling that as long as he injected spirituality into both at the same time, he would be able to reflect that school again.
With a serious expression on his face, Bai Zhou put away his school uniform and lowered his head to look at the yellowed notebook.
In my impression, every time I see Class Monitor Xiao Fang, I can see this notebook.
He thought this was Class Monitor Xiao Fang's signature move, just like people's stereotype of elementary school students jumping around with a big schoolbag on their back.
But I didn't expect that the existence of this thing is so "important"!
If the school uniform is the identity of Kao Shi Wang, then this notebook may be the identity of "Class Monitor Xiao Fang", the "lost ideal of Fang Xiaoxia".
Bai Zhou opened the notebook with some curiosity and opened the first page. Sure enough, he saw Fang Xiaoxia's name.
It's just that the handwriting is very immature and crooked, similar to the drawing paper Bai Zhou picked up before...
Drawing paper?
Bai Zhou was stunned for a moment, and took out the crumpled drawing paper from his arms. He found that the size of the paper was exactly the same as the notebook in his hand, and there were tear marks on the edges.
This drawing paper...
Is it also from this notebook?
"Wow..."
Bai Zhou Scroll down and open the next page of the notebook.
The title that catches my eye is--
<Homework: Who do you want to be in the future>
It turns out that it was still an assignment assigned by the teacher...
Bai Zhou looked at it carefully, and saw crooked pencil writing on the paper, mixed with many traces of repeated modifications with an eraser, and a bunch of typos and pinyin:
Become the class president! ヾ(▽)ノ(Be as awesome as in the cartoon!)
Help the children of Fading Island(><)
Let everyone stop arguing and become good friends!ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ
Solve all problems and worries! (Become the most invincible person!)
Let everyone at Zhou Wei be happy because of me!
Growing up following the five principles, don't go to school hungry, wear a quilt when the weather is nice, be careful when crossing the road, don't rely on other people's strength, play barefoot on the ground, and then become a light to everyone!
"There are so many typos...Xiao Fang."
Bai Zhou muttered.
In front of each wish, it seems that a small check mark was neatly stamped with a red pen later.
Those check marks are bright and clear, contrasting with the child's immature handwriting, as if they are a silent witness to these years of silent dedication.
There is no doubt that this must be the work of "Fang Xiaoyan".
Each check mark records every move "Class Monitor Xiao Fang" has done in this school.
"Class Monitor Xiao Fang" Everything that protects this campus is here.
As she said, every innocent and grand dream that Fang Xiaoxia had listed on her homework list was completed by Fang Xiaoyan in her own way and with great efforts.
Inexplicably, Bai Zhou once again thought of Fang Xiaoyan's relieved, relaxed and joyful look.
In a daze, Bai Zhou seemed to hear the satisfied laughter coming from Fang Xiaoyan every time he drew a red check mark:
"It's done...(~￣▽￣)~"
... Then, Bai Zhou's eyes fell on the last line of the list.
There is also a line of words there, the handwriting is the same as before, but it is lonely, except that there is no red check in front of it that means "complete"--
"Fang Xiaoxia, become a strong-willed adult!"
Strong is written as strong, and behind this sentence, Maiden also drew a small fist to cheer himself up: (_)
This one is different.
It is not "becoming" a certain person, but the expectation left by Fang Xiaoyan for the "body" Fang Xiaoxia.
Fang Xiaoyan can become the squad leader for her, help others for her, and fight against "Kao Shi Wang" for her, but it cannot replace her and become a strong adult.
Perhaps, it was the unfulfilled wish that led to the failure of the notebook Perfect Fulfillment.
This reminded Bai Zhou of the last words Fang Xiaoyan asked Bai Zhou to convey before leaving.
Echoed.
This is a development that Bai Zhou never thought about, because he did not expect that in the end this matter would fall back to Ordinary person Fang Xiaoxia...
However, that is no longer the story of "Fang Xiaoyan".
Slowly taking a breath, looking at the dream list with pinyin and typos listed in the homework notes in a childish writing style, Bai Zhou's expression was complicated and difficult to understand.
Flipping further down, there are traces of a piece of paper being torn off, and the burrs of the shredded paper at the edge are clearly visible.
Bai Zhou placed the drawing paper with "Proud Class Monitor Xiao Fang" on it.
As expected, it fits perfectly.
Wearing armbands and saluting, the images of Omnipotent Class Monitor and Fang Xiaoyan with dignity appeared on the paper.
Although I have seen many farewells in the Deep Ruins Realm, I have also experienced things in Section Chief Liu...
But Bai Zhou still can't bear to see such a thing.
Maybe this is what parting is like. When I just said goodbye to Fang Xiaoyan and watched the light rain fall, Bai Zhou didn't have much emotion in my heart.
But when Bai Zhou saw the relics left by the other party, he felt very uncomfortable.
All sadness is not a sudden flash flood, but a steady stream of humid rainy season. Only when I think about it afterwards do I feel heavy in my heart.
With a wave of his hand, he removed the triple barrier covering the surrounding area, and Bai Zhou looked up at the sky.
As night falls, there are a lot of people when it should be quiet. It turns out that it is time for school to end, some students are leaving the campus, and some students are rushing to Cafeteria for dinner.
At this time, Bai Zhou was supposed to leave the campus, meet with Crow, and then start preparing in advance for the relocation of Major's Compass.
But before that...Bai Zhou There is one more important thing he wants to do.
So, he walked towards the office against the crowd of students after school.
Even when school is over, every student's tired face still shows a little numbness.
Because there is still evening self-study.
Everything on campus remains as usual, and no student feels that anything has changed between today and before.
Only Bai Zhou knows that something has quietly changed.
Not only Kao Shi Wang died.
Even Ritual Symbol hidden in those corners completely shattered and disappeared after Fang Xiaoyan disappeared.
It seems that Fang Xiaoyan is right. It was these Ritual Symbol that led to the birth of Fang Xiaoyan and Kao Shi Wang. But later, after Fang Xiaoyan and Kao Shi Wang were deeply bound to this school, they themselves became part of Ritual.
As they disappeared, Ritual was naturally cracked.
--The shadow hanging over the school disappeared.
There is no trace of the negative influence that quietly permeates every student and makes everyone more manic.
From then on, year after year, Yuanmeng Middle School may no longer be able to guarantee 100% focus rate, but every student regains the freedom to dream.
Although their future lives will be different, they will eventually embark on their own wonderful futures.
... and these are all the results left by Fang Xiaoyan.
--Every student in this school has witnessed the achievements of Fang Xiaoyan.
Walking among the students, Bai Zhou thought.
Then, at this time...
Passing by a student's discussion, it came to Bai Zhou's ears.
"Have you heard? A toilet in the school exploded! The explosion was huge! Biogas was leaked and even caused a power outage in the school!"
"Oh, will you have a holiday for self-study that night?"
"I don't know. It seems that it won't go away. The school is adjusting the backup power supply."
"Oh."
"..."
A brief conversation, students walking in a hurry, passing by Bai Zhou.
Bai Zhou lowered his eyes, thoughtfully, and returned to his office.
After closing the office door, Bai Zhou sat back down and raised his hand to pull out a red pen from the pen holder.
There was a "crash" sound.
He carefully opened the notebook left by Fang Xiaoyan on his desk again.
In the quiet office, Bai Zhou held the red pen and very solemnly drew something with the red pen behind the "(_)" symbol that made a fist at the end of the list.
First the big rotating circle, then the petals on the edge.
In the center, Bai Zhou clicked a few times, making the red flower look more like the innocent and bright smile of a child, as if responding to the little fist that cheered.
--If it is homework, how can it not be graded by the teacher?
Bai Zhou feels that he should do this.
This smiling red flower is Bai Zhou's response across time and space.
It does not mean that Fang Xiaoyan's unfinished last wish has been achieved, but it is a reward for this clumsy but sincere "effort" itself.
Perhaps, the story belonging to Fang Xiaoxia has not yet begun.
But Bai Zhou thinks.
The story of Fang Xiaoyan should be worthy of such a red flower.
Fang Xiaoyan has worked very hard and she has really done a good job.
Class Monitor Xiao Fang, who works so hard, deserves the teacher's praise.
As for the rest of the homework, let me help you finish it...
Think about it this way.
Put pen to paper and cover up.
"Fang Xiaoyan classmate, congratulations on your graduation."
Bai Zhou lowered his head to see the big red flower on his notebook, with soft eyebrows and whispered softly:
"A little red flower for you."
"Your homework is a perfect score."
But...
The moment the words fell--
The notebook seemed to sense this little red flower, and it suddenly glowed again and buzzed endlessly.
"Buzz!"
Even at the same time, <Dead Sea Scrolls> in Bai Zhou's arms also trembled.
Something unexpected changed for Bai Zhou... appeared.
