The Mystery of Fangshi Edo

In the past two days, Yoshino Junpei often went to the rooftop of the school, looking at the sky and thinking alone while blowing the wind.

He wants to save himself and get rid of the situation of being bullied, so he needs two weapons——

The 'will' against spiritual oppression, and the 'weapon' against the physical level of reality.

In the former, he has already received encouragement from Fang Shi Yangming, and he has used this as an opportunity to figure out a lot of things; while in the latter, he has obtained the ability to make chemicals (which are not so dangerous) with the help of Senior Shinobi.

But now, it's all up to him.

"There's one more thing left." He was thinking, "How to call Nishimura and the others out..."

If I rashly call people out for no reason, those guys will definitely be prepared, maybe they won't come over at all, even if they show up, in case they call someone from outside the school to teach him together, or bring weapons Class is worse.

"Using protection money or something...?"

That bait seemed too obvious, and the thought of writing that flattering stuff made him sick.

Oh, so sad.

It might be a good idea to come up with a reason at that time. It might be a good idea to irritate people.

Seeing that the lunch break was coming to an end, Yoshino Junpei was about to leave the rooftop, but just as he turned around, he saw the door open.

"Well, I heard that Yoshino-kun is looking for me?" Yurika Kanroji appeared at the door, "May I ask what's the matter?"

She tilted her head slightly, and there was some doubt in her emerald eyes.

Yoshino Junpei was stunned for a few seconds, then shook his head: "I didn't ask Senior to come over."

The girl with sakuramochi-colored hair blinked, then took out a note: "Didn't Yoshino-kun write this?"

Junpei took the note with a dazed face, and saw that it said【Please come to the rooftop before the lunch break is over, I have something important to say to senior Ganluji. ——Yoshino Junpei. 】

He fell into an ice cellar instantly, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Yoshino-kun?" Seeing that his expression was wrong, Ganlu Temple was a little puzzled.

"..."

how so.

How could the seniors be involved?

Is it Nishimura and the others? ...Maybe, but this method may also be done by other people.

For whom?Do you want to punish yourself or the seniors of Ganlu Temple?

"Yoshino-kun! Well, have you been bullied by someone?" Ganlu Temple finally realized something, his eyes became serious, "If so, please tell me, I will help you..."

"No!" The boy blurted out, "I was not bullied by anyone."

"……Eh?"

You can't involve your seniors, you can't involve anyone in your own affairs, and you can't destroy other people's happiness.

If because of me, someone who was supposed to live happily in the sun is bullied, I'm afraid I will never be able to hold my head up for the rest of my life.

Yoshino Junpei clenched his fists secretly, and then showed a pretended relaxed smile on his face.

"It should just be someone's prank, please don't take it to heart." He said, "Thank you for your concern."

Then, turn around and leave.

And in the distance that neither of them noticed, on the roof of another teaching building, a girl with long brown hair put down her phone and looked at the two figures in the photo above, revealing a malevolent but determined to win. laugh.

"Hello, Nishimura? It's me, it's Xiaoyi." She called her boyfriend, "I have something nice for you."

……

In the past few days, Fang Shi Yangming was rushing to draft.

Although I escaped the hell of getting up early, I have ushered in the hell of draft reminder and hell of the deadline, which can be regarded as a fair exchange of equivalents.

He sent the new short story that had been revised until now to the editor's mailbox, then looked at the time, and found that it was already afternoon before he knew it.

There used to be a saying that if you see a programmer working at nine o'clock in the morning, it means that he has been working since last night.

Perhaps this sentence can be changed a little.he thought as he sipped his coffee.If you see that 'Fang Shi Yangming' is still rushing to draft at two o'clock in the afternoon, it means that he has less than ten hours left before he is chased by the editor to his house.

"Let's finish it a little earlier..." the tea-haired youth murmured, turning his head to look at the living room, "The computer is free, Gu Chaisheng."

"Call." The black-haired samurai corrected him expressionlessly.

"Ah, yes..." The screen name doesn't work either, "Mr. Yan Sheng, do you want to use a computer?"

"I……"

"Ding Dong"

Just as Ji Guoyansheng was about to speak, a bell rang from the door.

Are there any guests, this time?

Fang Shi Yangming rubbed the center of his brows, and just as he was about to walk towards the door, he realized that the ghost of the warrior who was standing not far in front of him just now had disappeared.

"...I see." He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Looks like he caught a big fish."

The existence that Ji Guoyansheng cared so much about was probably the family.

The bell rang only once, but Fang Shi Yangming tidied up his things unhurriedly, took some trivial items such as mobile phone keys, and then walked towards the door.

"Well, what's the matter?" He opened the door, showing a standard 'good neighbor' smile.

"Please excuse my abrupt visit, Lord Fangshi Yangming."

Standing at the door and talking was a young woman in her early twenties, dressed in professional attire in a suit and trousers, with long black hair hanging behind her head, and a light and natural smile on her face.

"My name is Ubuyashiki Kyoya, and this trip represents the head of the Ubuyashiki family, Ubuyashiki Teriya-sama, please go to the house and talk about it."

Although she spoke simple and exaggerated honorifics, her attitude was still neither humble nor overbearing. After bowing slightly, she calmly looked at Fang Shi Yangming with those dark eyes.

On the black hair on the side of the head, there is a wisteria-shaped headdress that glistens in the sunlight.

This attitude is too formal, to be honest, it's a bit unbearable.

"It's fine to use something like 'Sir'." Fang Shi Yangming, dressed in casual clothes, tried to suggest, "Or just call him by name, I don't care."

"Then, 'Master Fang Shi'." Jing Mi seemed unwilling to change his words, turned his head to look in a certain direction, "The car is parked nearby, if you agree, please come with me."

The woman seemed to be respectful to him, but Fang Shi Yangming knew in his heart that this was just another form of 'keeping a distance'.

Forget it, after all, it was only the first meeting.

"If you need time, I can wait outside the door." Jing Mi added very thoughtfully.

"That's not necessary," Fang Shi Yangming, who had been prepared for a long time, walked out of the house and locked the door, "Let's go directly."

……

The prelude to the opening match officially sounded after school at Satou High School.

At that time, Yoshino Junpei was just about to leave when he saw a classmate who was not familiar with him come to him.

"Student Nishimura and the others are looking for you." The classmate who was treated as an errand lowered his eyes and lowered his voice. "It's behind the teaching building. I'll let you go now."

This kind of thing didn't happen once or twice, but most of the people in the class didn't care about it, and a small number of those who knew it would 'turn a blind eye' to it as usual, so Junpei has been kept under the bullying until now under the shadow.

But it is different now.

He took a deep breath, then nodded to the classmate who sent the message with a completely different relaxed attitude from before: "I see, thank you."

It was so refreshing that the person even wondered if there was something wrong with Yoshino Junpei's mind.

But he didn't mind his own business in the end, and ran away with his schoolbag on his back after delivering the message.

Yoshino Junpei thought for a while, put the schoolbag back on the seat, and then took out the things he had prepared from the bag and put them in his pockets.

Have 'thinking flexibility'.

The current situation is not a sudden crisis at all, but an excellent opportunity.

Yes, I now occupy the Dao, Heaven, Earth, General, and Law, and I have the upper hand in terms of morality and preparation, so there is no reason to lose.

The "five things" I read in "The Art of War" flashed through my mind. Although I knew it was just self-consolation, the black-haired boy still gained courage from it.

Then, he came to the 'battlefield'.

——The open space behind the teaching building.

Because of the remote location and the fact that there are no important facilities, people generally don't come here.

"Hey, you're here, Junpei." Sayama who was waiting there looked at him with a smile, then suddenly changed his face in the next second, and knocked Junpei down with a punch, "You are so slow, are you Are you looking down on us!"

The place where it was hit will probably turn green for a while.Junpei sat up while judging the injury.It's okay, the important things are protected.

"Okay, Sayama, I still have something to do with this guy today." Nishimura interrupted his companion's movements, then squatted down and looked at Yoshino Junpei, "Junpei, didn't we tell you to stay away from Senior Ganluji?" ?”

"You guys are overthinking. I have nothing to do with Senior Ganlu Temple." The young man explained, "I didn't pester her at all."

"Ha, then what do you think this is?"

On the side, Yamamoto brought a photo from his mobile phone to Junpei's eyes.

——In the photo, the teenagers and girls on the rooftop seem to be talking about something.

It is a photo of him and Ganlu Temple.

Was secretly photographed.It turned out to be like this, they had this kind of idea.

"That's because senior she was cheated..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Junpei was punched by Nishimura head-on.

"Fuck you!" The gangster couldn't hold back his good-natured disguise just now, and looked at him with hatred on his face, "You really don't know how to repent, I think you're just tired of working!"

Calm down, now is not the time.

"What do you think?"

"Ha, that's true. It seems that just punching you a few times won't solve the problem." Nishimura said, standing up and looking at his mobile phone, "You said that if you post this photo to the school forum, I will match it with a few more punches." How many people will believe it if you write some exciting words? As for who will send it—how about using your mobile phone?”

"..."

"Okay Nishimura, this guy is shaking with fright." Sayama put his hands in his pockets and kicked Junpei who bowed his head and said nothing, "Didn't you just give him another chance?"

"What do you want me to do?"

Hearing this, Nishimura laughed again.

"It's not a big deal, just asking for a little favor." He said with a magnanimous look,

"—Help us call Ganlu Temple here, after school tomorrow."

Ahh, it really is such an abacus.

Nausea.

Nasty guys.

Free, evil free from all things.

But... so do I.

I am also free.

"When the wicked...do whatever they want," he muttered what he heard from Fang Shi Yangming a few days ago, "most of the good people are still waiting for a higher existence to suddenly appear...to 'judgment' the evil deeds. "

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"When the villain has achieved his goal...the good man is still hesitating," said the hand that had been shrunk behind him, and put on the glove quietly, "hesitating and refusing to make a decision, refusing to dirty his own hands." hand……"

"What the hell are you talking about...!"

Yamamoto wanted to swing his fist up, but stopped before barely a few centimeters.

Yoshino Junpei held the opened bottle of strangely colored liquid in his hand, and a deep and firm color shone in his dark eyes.

"When school is over, the chemistry department on the third floor will open the windows for a while to let in the wind, and at this time today, a stray cat just happened to pass by." The three people in the shadow, "Then, some kind of slightly dangerous potion fell, and it happened to hit the idiot who was not good at chemistry and was bullying his classmates."

It must be successful in one blow, and it needs to be closer.

"—In the end, the faces of the three of them unfortunately rotted. Such a script should be well received."

Looking at the fist that Nishimura swung towards him, Yoshino Junpei heard his heart beating wildly.

【...It's useless? ……I know!But one does not fight with the hope of victory. 】*

【No!No!Knowing what can't be done and doing it, this is beautiful! 】*

Goodbye, I used to be a perfectly good person.

——At that moment, the world seemed to tilt.

The treacherous colors scattered and ran towards the nightmares, and finally joined together again.

What about guilt.

So what about good people.

What about the wicked.

So what about freedom.

So what about bondage.

Teachers, classmates, "friends", clubs... so what if these things disappear?

I just want to do this now,

This is my thought, nothing more.

"You deserve it, you deserve it!"

Will never go back again.

Never going back to that nightmare again.

Looking at the three of Nishimura who screamed in shock and fear after being splashed with the bad-smelling and itchy medicine, Yoshino Junpei felt that his mood had never been so complicated.

Both sad and happy.

But extremely fun.

The author has something to say:

1. The part marked with * in the text is a quotation, which is the content of Rostand's play "Cyrano-de-Bergerac (Chinese translation is usually "Big Nose Lover"). The translation I quoted is from People's Literature The edition published by the publishing house in June 2009.Originally, I wanted to make annotations in the main text, but I thought I might make up the number of words, so I put it in the words.

2. Encountering the situation of "the younger generation being bullied", the choice of Serizawa Chiemi in the original work of Wolf Village is to pick up the bat and beat the bullies so that they dare not act rashly, and then take all the responsibilities and shoulder the responsibility 'Nearly murdered' notoriety.

Of course, Fang Shi Yangming can also end up making those bullies miserable, but after discovering Junpei's "flexibility of thinking", he will probably guide Junpei to handle this matter by himself.

So I thought about it, he can actually do it, all he needs is... luck.

Meeting a kind neighbor (?) and meeting a few reliable seniors, I believe he will soon be able to gain a foothold on his own, even if he doesn't have any superpowers, even if his physique is not as good as those three people.

Anyway, this thing is over.

As for Sato, the next chapter will ask him to do something to make up for it, and it won't be so simple to clean up.
