Quadruple split

The overly long voice-over ended. The girl with her back to the audience lowered her head in silence, clenched her fists, and remained silent for a long time.

After that, there was a period of silence that was as long as the voice-over, and the holographic projection of the scene. Xiao Ming's back was frozen for a long time after the BGM stopped abruptly. It was so long that if it were another stage play, it could even be called a performance. Despite the magnitude of the accident, the audience did not cause any commotion. Instead, they fell into silence together with the slender figure in the center of the stage, savoring the unpleasant 'truth'.

The music stopped and the scene was frozen for 3 minutes and 15 seconds. This was something Mo Tan deliberately emphasized when he was writing the short script, in order to further enhance the atmosphere.

At that time, the class where the Ji sisters were in also performed the performance as mentioned above without making any adjustments or modifications to this content.

Outstanding effect!

If it weren't for the woo woo who deliberately lowered his voice and was too dramatic outside the camera, it's all dad's fault. Dad shouldn't have let you come to this crappy school in the first place. What a curse. You had let me know earlier, even if it was a ghost. I'm fooling him to death in minutes. My daughter, I don't care about you anymore. Take your sister to another school and let them all die. Wow ah ah ah. It made Mo Tan's eyes jump. This scene is so perfect. Incredible.

[I will definitely find a chance to edit this video next time.]

Mo Tan, under his current personality, curled his lips in a rare displeasure and secretly made up his mind.

195 seconds later

Xiao Ming slowly turned around and walked toward the audience.

When she reached the second step, the holographic projection on the stage went out instantly, plunging the entire venue into a deathly darkness. However, this black scene did not last long. After a few seconds, when the projection came back on, By that time, the scene had turned into the rooftop of the school.

The girl who seemed to have appeared directly across the scene stopped, sighed softly against the backdrop of the setting sun, and murmured in a low voice: "You really didn't come?"

However, in the next second, with the sound of the door opening, which sounded very soft but was actually not quiet at all, the young man played by Ji Xiaoge appeared quietly next to the entrance to the rooftop.

Xiao Ming quickly turned her head and asked in her usual emotionless but slightly trembling voice this time: "Are you here?"

The boy played by Ji Xiaoge seemed to tremble a bit, and then walked slowly to the railing projected by the hologram without saying a word. He turned his back to the audience and classmate Xiao Ming, while admiring the beautiful and sleepy scenery in the distance. The sunset, while whispering: "I actually didn't plan to come."

[Well, I know dubbing. 】

Mo Tan raised the corners of his mouth proudly and praised himself from the bottom of his heart.

After all, she knew very well that if Ji Xiaoge had had the problem of having a low laugh point since she was a child, instead of her temperament changing drastically when she grew up, then when she came to act in this scene with a lot of lines, she would definitely use the pre-prepared Dialogue is recorded rather than delivered through a microphone hidden in the collar.

Otherwise, this stage play will definitely be ruined by that girl laughing so loudly!

However, I have to say that she played professionally. Although Mo Tan had noticed that Ji Xiaoge was not actually speaking, because the recording came from the microphone in her collar instead of the speakers around the stage, most of the audience Not even the slightest clue was noticed.

By the way, the recording is Ji Xiaoge's original voice. Although the voice still has a softness to it, the more feminine elements in it have been seriously downplayed. Mo Tan knew he was an old tuner as soon as he heard it.

"But you came anyway."

The corners of Xiao Ming's mouth raised slightly, and he looked sideways at the other party like a victor: "Have you read the content of the note?"

"seen it already"

Ji Xiaoge held on to the non-existent railing with both hands and said calmly: "But I just came here to remind you not to have anything to do with me. As for the content of that note, I am not interested."

Classmate Xiao Ming turned around suddenly, stared at the other person's back and said solemnly: "You don't know what all this means."

"I know exactly what this all means."

The recording that sounded at the right time interrupted classmate Xiao Ming. Ji Xiaoge just shrugged slightly and said without looking back: "At least I know better than you, so I hope you can make the right decision, like everyone else. Completely dissociate yourself from me.”

Classmate Xiao Ming's eyes widened: "You said...that was the right decision?!"

"yes."

Ji Xiaoge's voice was filled with a smile and he said softly: "Of course that is the right decision."

a depressing silence

After a long time, Xiao Ming shook his head vigorously and stared at his sister's back without blinking: "That's ridiculous and unfair."

“There are always many absurd and unfair things in this world.”

Ji Xiaoge's tone did not fluctuate at all, he just said extremely calmly: "If this is all you want to say, please leave and don't have any interaction with me from tomorrow on."

Classmate Xiao Ming staggered back half a step and was silent for a while before shaking his head and saying: "I can't agree with this kind of thing. This is too unfair to you."

"What you are doing now is unfair to me."

Ji Xiaoge interrupted him coldly, still not looking back: "Do you really know what you are doing? Obviously, you don't know, then let me tell you."

She turned around and met classmate Xiao Ming's eyes with her beautiful black eyes.

Two thin clouds suddenly covered a corner of the sunset, and the shadow shrouded Ji Xiaoge's upper body, making her delicate face blurry.

"Your actions will cost me the lives of nineteen people, including you."

Ji Xiaoge's voice became colder and colder, and he slowly walked towards classmate Xiao Ming: "In other words, let me become a murderer."

She walked out of the shadows after saying this, with a complicated smile on her lips, which was completely opposite to the cold voice, but not inconsistent at all.

"That's not your fault!"

Classmate Xiao Ming said something subconsciously and gritted his teeth: "You are obviously innocent!"

"No that's my fault"

Ji Xiaoge shook his head, turned around and walked towards the iron door projected by the hologram, blending into the darkness and disappearing.

And an imperceptible murmur echoed in the air——

"Even though I'm innocent."

Classmate Xiao Ming sat on his knees weakly on the ground, staring blankly in the direction where Ji Xiaoge disappeared without saying a word.

The soothing and distant BGM sounded, and a minute later, the girl stood up unsteadily and left the rooftop, while the sunset in the distance completely sank into the horizon at the same time.

Scenes intertwined and changing

It is said to be intertwined because starting from the last scene, all subsequent scenes are divided into two distinct groups. On the one hand, it is the daily life during the day. In this scene, Xiao Ming does not seem to be any different from before. She still As before, I was a little awkward in getting along with my classmates. Although I was still a little taciturn, I still integrated into the atmosphere of the whole class very well. Occasionally, I would even start a fight with other people, such as the girl named Xing. Some harmless jokes.

On the other hand, outside the school from sunset to night, classmate Xiao Mian will often appear near the boy played by Ji Xiaoge. Sometimes he just silently follows him for a while, and sometimes he He took the initiative to say hello, and even deliberately sat across from the other party several times when he was eating fast food, talking to himself as if he was a different person, while Ji Xiaoge was talking to Xiao Mu in seven or eight scenes in a row. After ignoring the indifference of my classmates, I finally opened my mouth and said a word or two occasionally.

This is called interleaving.

It's said that it changes, naturally because the scene needs to change in the first place.

After the tenth scene change, the first-person voiceover of classmate Xiao Ming replaced the BGM "Wings of Piano"——

"I'm not giving up."

"Although I linger in a warm environment that I have never experienced in the past, although I particularly cherish these days when I am no longer a 'weird', even though I understand that I am just an ordinary girl after all, like many people, I am also worried about that incident. I was scared. But I still didn’t give up.”

"While I was completing my schoolwork and enjoying my daily life, I was still trying every possible means to investigate that ridiculous curse, although with little success."

"I would find a way to get close to that person after school every day, and even used some small tricks to get his address, although it was not pleasant."

"But I don't care. After all, I have never been a lovable girl from the beginning, and I don't care about being disliked by others. In fact, for me now, it would be better if I was disliked by people around me."

"And in most cases, people who don't care about being disliked are generally more difficult to deal with."

"I know that he is just an ordinary person, so this method should be effective."

"As for why it was necessary to do this, I never thought about it at the time."

"All I know is that I want this ridiculous story to end."

"Finally, he was willing to talk to me."

The scene is fixed in a deserted fast food restaurant

"You're meddling."

Under the soft light, Ji Xiaoge, who was holding a sandwich in one hand, turned his back to the audience and whispered to the girl who was drinking orange juice in front of him: "If you do this, you will not only kill other people, but you will also kill yourself."

The latter shrugged, picked up a French fries from the plate in front of him and ate it slowly, then raised his eyes and looked at Ji Xiaoge: "Aren't you pretending to be dumb?"

"I'm just warning you to stop."

Ji Xiaoge sighed, shook his head and said, "I don't know why you transferred to Class 3 without understanding the whole story, but since you already know, then for the sake of everyone's lives."

Classmate Xiao Ming interrupted him calmly: "So, what do you think you are? A hero? Or a sacrifice? Or something else that is less valuable?"

"It doesn't matter."

Ji Xiaoge held her forehead weakly and sighed deeply: "You and Xing and the others are friends, right? Doesn't it matter to you even if they die?"

Classmate Xiao Ming did not answer, but asked with great interest: "Do you know Xing?"

Ji Xiaoge nodded slightly.

"Then do you know the names of the boys you rescued that day? I still can't remember a few of them."

Classmate Xiao Ming looked at each other curiously.

"If I told you."

Ji Xiaoge did not give a direct answer, but asked a little feebly: "Can you just ignore me from now on?"

"It seems you know."

Classmate Xiao Ming laughed again, then leaned back in the chair and shook his head: "Ignore you, of course I won't do that. Think about it carefully, if that curse or something will only take effect within the school. , during the day, like everyone else, I didn’t violate any taboos by pretending you didn’t exist; in other words, if it is still in effect outside of school, it will definitely be too late these days.”

Ji Xiaoge was silent for a long time, then looked out the window and said softly (still in the dubbing): "I don't resent anyone. If you just want to fight for me out of sympathy, then there is no need. I started from a long time ago. I knew from the beginning that I would be a 'substitute', and I gladly accepted the arrangement."

"so what?"

Classmate Xiao Ming tilted his head and looked at the other person in confusion: "What do you want to express?"

Ji Xiaoge's eyebrows were deliberately cultivated to be quite heroic and slightly twitched: "It's very simple. I hope you put away your cheap sympathy and stop meddling in other people's business."

"It was still 'if' just now, but in the blink of an eye, I definitely feel that I am sympathizing with you."

Classmate Xiao Ming blinked, then drank the rest of the orange juice, stood up and shook his head: "Don't be so sentimental, I just feel unhappy. It doesn't matter whether it's you or something else." It doesn’t matter to me whether the person is good or not.”

Ji Xiaoge was stunned for a moment and looked up at her: "You"

"I'm in a good mood today, so I won't bother you anymore."

Classmate Xiao Ming glanced at the other party with a smile in his eyes, turned around and walked out of the store: "If you can occasionally chat with me like this in the future, maybe one day I will completely treat you like nothing when I am happy."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Oh, by the way, please pay the bill for the juice. I didn't bring my wallet when I went out today."

"Hello!"

"See you tomorrow."

The girl waved her hand without looking back and disappeared behind the curtain on the right side of the stage.

Only Ji Xiaoge was left sitting there with a blank expression, looking stupidly at the sandwich in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the edge of the stage, several holographic projection equipment were humming, reshaping a brand new scene in the blink of an eye.

Ji Xiaoge's sitting position has not changed, but the dining table in front of him has become an old desk, and the surrounding environment has been completely replaced, turning into a room with almost no extraneous furnishings.

An empty room except for a wardrobe, a set of tables and chairs, and a bed.

Ji Xiaoge, who finally adjusted his posture to face the audience, curled up on the chair, his shoulders buried deeply in his arms.

The pre-recorded voice-over sounded at the right time——

"I gladly accept this arrangement. What I could have done, I have already done."
