The next day, Fangzheng arrived at the entrance of the school garden early in the morning. After meeting up with Teardrop and Chu Chun, the three of them entered the school garden together.
But …..
"What's going on?"
Fangzheng was a little confused as he looked at the large patch of tears on his skirt. Teardrop stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
"Haha, about that ….. I was a little too excited when I came out ….."
"Forget it, let's go in first."
Shaking his head helplessly, Fangzheng led the two into the school garden.
Although they were all in the 7th school district, the school garden didn't allow ordinary people to casually enter. After all, there were five private girls' schools, and they were all aristocratic girls' schools. The students inside were all rich and respectable. If outsiders were allowed to casually enter, it would inevitably cause trouble. Therefore, the security of the school garden was quite strict.
However, Fangzheng himself had given himself a very high level of authority using the tree diagram designer, and Chu Chun and Teardrop were invited. Therefore, after verifying their identities, the three of them entered the school garden.
"Wow, so this is the school garden. It looks so different from the outside, so beautiful ….."
Walking on the archaic street, Chu Chun's eyes sparkled as she looked around. She felt like she couldn't take it all in. Teardrop also looked around curiously, looking left and right from time to time. It wasn't surprising. Compared to the modern atmosphere outside, the design of the school garden was closer to the classical western style. It gave off a feeling of entering another world.
Most of the people coming and going were young girls. Not only that …..
"Ah, Mr Fangzheng, Gui An."
"Gui An, Mr Fangzheng, what brings you to the school garden?"
"Student Zuo Tian, you actually came to the school garden? Why didn't you tell me? "
Along the way, people would occasionally talk to Fangzheng and Teardrop, which made Chu Chun rather surprised.
"Student Zuo Tian? How do you know the missy here!? "
"Ah ….. because they often attend Mr Fangzheng's classes ….."
Hearing this, Lei Zi spread his hands with a bitter smile. Many of the young ladies in the school garden had attended Fangzheng's lectures, so they naturally knew Lei Zi. Because Lei Zi had always been popular, she had become friends with many people.
"That's great, that's great! I can be friends with the missy … "
When Chu Chun heard Tears' answer, she instantly threw a tantrum.
"But I still have work to do as a disciplinary committee member. Sigh, if I don't have a job, I want to go too …."
With that said, Chu Chun looked at Fangzheng.
"Mr. Fangzheng, can I listen as well?"
"Of course."
Fangzheng nodded. At the same time, he added with a chuckle.
"If you don't have any work to do as a discipline committee member."
"…"
Chu Chun sank into the abyss.
After that, the group arrived at the entrance of Tovandei, where they met up with Misaka Mikoto and Kuroko Shiranui. At that place, Tear had changed out of his dirtied uniform into Tovandei's uniform — — This made the love-struck Chu Chun extremely jealous.
When they arrived at the cake shop, Chu Chun finally perked up and did not dwell on these trivial matters. As if to make up for her hurt heart, she ordered a few cakes in one go.
She's not afraid of getting fat.
"The school garden is really different from the outside, this is amazing …."
Chu Chun felt like she was about to cry as she happily took a bite of the cake.
"Yeah … .it feels like I'm in a foreign country …."
Lei Zi rested her chin on her hand as she looked at the scenery outside. Her tone was rather solemn. Seeing her like this, Misaka Mikoto and Kuroko looked at each other in confusion. For some reason, they felt that Lei Zi's behavior was different from before.
"Hehe."
Seeing this, Fangzheng smiled and shook his head. He then glanced at a corner of the cake shop and said.
"Right, since I'm bored, let me tell you a story."
"Eh? A story? "
After all, they were still young girls. Hearing this, the four girls became interested and looked at Fangzheng curiously.
"What story?"
"Hmm … I guess it's a horror story. It's from a horror novel I read before."
Having said that, Fangzheng picked up his coffee and took a sip. Then, he smiled at the quartet and continued speaking.
"The protagonist of this story is called Peter. He's a very ordinary white-collar worker. He goes to work and gets off work every day, living the same life. Peter doesn't have much of a presence in the company. Everyone doesn't pay attention to him. He's like an invisible person who is ignored by everyone. Peter has gotten used to this kind of life. Then one day, he realized that something has changed …. "
"What changed?"
Upon hearing this, Lei Zi's eyes widened in excitement as she leaned over.
"He realized that he's being ignored … Hmm, not in the normal sense of being ignored. Everyone seems to be unable to see him, as if he's invisible. He came to work and worked diligently at his desk for the whole day. His superior even gave him a task. But when he went to look for his superior, his superior said that he didn't see him come to work at all today. He also didn't give him any task. "
"What's going on?"
"Is his superior bullying him on purpose?!"
At that moment, Blackie and Chu Chun also asked out of curiosity. As for Fangzheng, he shook his finger and continued speaking.
"At first, he just couldn't see him, but the situation became more and more serious. Peter even realized that everyone seemed to be ignoring him. Even his work was put on the heads of others. This made Peter very angry. He even thought of dancing in the office to attract everyone's attention, but no matter what he did, no one looked at him. It was as if he didn't exist at all. "
"Could it be that Peter has awakened some kind of ability?"
Meiqin also expressed her opinion, while Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.
"In short, Peter couldn't stand this kind of life. Finally, one day, he went berserk. He disguised himself as a ridiculous clown and walked into the company with a kitchen knife. Even so, the company's security guards and employees didn't even look at him. Then, Peter came to the office and killed the colleague who stole his achievements and credit! "
"!!"
Upon hearing this, Misaka Mikoto trembled. The others were also shocked.
"So was that bit caught?"
"No."
"Eh …?"
"Why?"
"Because he was ignored by everyone. In fact, everyone had forgotten about Peter's existence. Even his parents didn't remember Peter. Although the police found the corpse and labeled it as a murder, they completely ignored Peter who was standing at the scene with a knife in his hand. This made Peter despair. He left the company. However, just as Peter was about to commit suicide to end all his troubles, a person suddenly appeared in front of him. "
"Gulp."
Upon hearing this, the four of them gulped in unison.
"Is that a good person or a bad person?"
"Could it be an angel or a demon?"
"It's a man named Philip. In fact, he was just like Peter, an ignored person. He told Peter that there were many people in this world who were ignored like him. They were forgotten and ignored by everyone, as if they were invisible. According to Philip, in this land, there was a city that belonged to the ignored. Everyone there was an ignored person like Peter. Hence, Philip invited Peter to go there and start a new life. Peter agreed. "
"… What happened next?"
"They successfully reached the city and started a new life."
"… That's not scary at all."
Upon hearing this, Shiroi Kuroko commented disinterestedly. Meanwhile, Fangzheng chuckled.
"That's right, it's not scary at all. After arriving here, Peter found the person he loved. He also felt that he could start a new life. Then … Peter realized something. He was being ignored again."
"… Eh?"
Faced with this unexpected turn of events, everyone was stunned.
"That's right. He was being ignored again. Among a group of ignored people, Peter realized that he was still being ignored. This time, the situation was even more serious than before. When the people around him started to forget about him again, he realized that he was gradually disappearing! "
"Wow!"
If this story wasn't particularly scary to the girls before, then after listening to this part, they all had goosebumps.
It was bad enough to be forgotten and ignored by most people. He finally found his companions, only to find out that even among a group of ignored people, he was still the one being ignored?
And he even disappeared?
That was too scary.
"At this time, something unexpected happened. Philip, who brought him to this city, had a bold idea. As revenge for the people who ignored him, Philip wanted to use a special method to announce their existence. He wanted to occupy the political center of their country, which was the White House."
"Eh?!"
Everyone, including Misaka Mikoto, was shocked.
"So they succeeded?"
"Of course they … failed."
“？？？”
"They were just ignored."
Fangzheng smiled as he looked at the four dumbfounded girls in front of him.
"They didn't have the ability to turn invisible, and they didn't disappear from this world. They were simply ignored. But when they drove tanks and walked on the streets with guns, only a blind person would ignore their existence. In front of the military, these people naturally had no way to fight back. They thought that they could just walk in and capture the president, but the reality was completely different from what they imagined. Most of them were killed, while the rest were captured. "
"What about Peter?"
Teardrop could not hold back the question in her heart and asked.
"He wasn't captured. Although he also hoped to prove his existence by joining this' war ', he has been completely ignored. Be it the army or his companions, they have all forgotten about him. In the end, he stood alone in the middle of the battlefield, then … disappeared. "
"Disappeared?"
"That's right."
Fangzheng clapped his hands.
"No one remembers him, so he doesn't exist anymore."
"…"
After listening to the story, the girls had complicated expressions on their faces. Suddenly, Chu Chun's phone rang. She picked up the phone and her expression changed slightly.
"You have a job?"
Seeing Chu Chun's expression, Kuroko immediately knew what was going on. Chu Chun nodded.
"Looks like we'll have to call it a day."
Kuroko sighed helplessly. He stood up and bowed to Fangzheng, Teardrop, and Mikoto.
"Well then, big sister, classmate Zuo Tian, and Mr. Fangzheng, we have important matters to attend to, so we must leave first. Goodbye."
After saying that, Kuroko and Chu Chun quickly left the coffee shop. It was then that Teardrop let out a long sigh of relief.
"That Peter guy is so pitiful. He was obviously ignored, but in the end, he was ignored again …"
"Being ignored in itself isn't a good thing, but this isn't a reason for you to do whatever you want."
Fangzheng put down the coffee cup in his hand and looked to the side.
"What do you think? Miss. "
As soon as Fangzheng's voice faded, a girl suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of them.
