Chapter 388: Chapter 318: “Only Yi should be able to handle this kind of fate.” (10,000-word mega chapter)_5

All our relatives also perished in a flood.

Even my wife fell ill and died.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit oppressive.

So this time, he chose to play dumb and simply wouldn’t join the conversation.

However, even though Tuberculosis Rabbit chose to play dumb, Sword Without End still murmured absentmindedly, “Did you go to school?”

“No.”

Tuberculosis Rabbit touched his nose with some embarrassment, “Yi and I came out of the orphanage. Back then, there was no such thing as compulsory education in the orphanage.”

“Then you’re quite lucky–students were the most miserable profession in the world before the upgrade game began. You’ve avoided a calamity.”

“…”

After pouring himself a glass of chilled beer with some confusion, Tuberculosis Rabbit drank it down in one gulp, took a deep breath with satisfaction, and only after filling his glass again did he speak up, “Why say that? Although I’ve never been to school, I’ve heard that being a student is the happiest job. You don’t have to endure the pressure of society under the sun and the wind. All you need to do is study.”

“When I was in high school, seventeen students died over three years.”

“Sixteen jumped off buildings, and one drank Paraquat.”

“…”

Tuberculosis Rabbit stared at the beer he had just refilled and, after staying silent for a while, said gloomily, “Seventeen students died in three years, and the school could still keep running?”

He had a guess about the situation.

Although it wasn’t nice to say and was somewhat an insult to someone’s character, he always felt that there was a pall of bad luck hanging over Sword Without End, or that Sword Without End’s fate was to bring death wherever he went.

Dooming his father, his mother, his wife, everyone close to him.

Not only did everyone close to him die,

but even Yi’s first injury happened after Sword Without End joined their team.

Now even his classmates were dying in batches.

Only Yi could probably rein in such a fate.

Not to mention other things.

During the time Yi was away, he choked on water four or five times, even managing to fall while walking–so much so that he didn’t dare venture into the field maps while Yi wasn’t around, fearing that he might accidentally get doomed by Sword Without End.

This ability was too strange.

It wasn’t a prop, it wasn’t a title, there was no panel information, just an ethereal aura.

Whoever entered this aura always died inexplicably.

Now he seriously suspected that the seventeen students who committed suicide when Sword Without End was in high school were affected by his aura.

“The schools in the county can push it down. The parents of the students are all farmers.”

“What do farmers understand? Make a fuss, get some compensation, and that’s it. Behind closed doors, they might even curse their children for being selfish.”

After pausing for a moment, as if recalling something, Sword Without End took out a cigarette from his chest pocket, lit it, and then looked toward Chen Yi’s back as he spoke softly, “Actually, I’ve always envied the relationship between you and Yi. Your bond is truly strong. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you’ll get through it because you both know there’s someone who will stand behind you unwaveringly in support.”

“But students won’t.”

“A student only encounters two environments, home and school.”

“If the parents fail to understand and the school cannot provide a sense of belonging, the student will feel like there is no place for them in this world. They want to rebel, but what can a student do?”

“The only rebellion they can muster is to jump off a building.”

“They know their parents love them, so they jump hoping to make their parents regret.”

“It’s a very foolish act, isn’t it?”

“Of the seventeen students I knew who jumped, not a single one committed suicide because of some earth-shattering event. The reasons were even absurdly simple, like their mother constantly berating them in front of the class during parent-teacher meetings.”

“Because in front of their classmates, their mother wouldn’t stop slapping them.”

“I watched the surveillance footage; the determination of that student as they turned and jumped off, as if it was not the seventh floor but the first.”

“Why do you think a student would leap from the seventh floor so resolutely?”

“They are not afraid of death. So what are they afraid of?”

“…”

Without any expression, Tuberculosis Rabbit looked down at the glass of beer in his hand. It was tough to drink now. He knew what else there was to be afraid of–were there any people left around you who hadn’t died? Of course, it was you they were afraid of.

Don’t you know yourself?

Practically the entire Blue Star Race almost died out, right?

“I said sixteen of them jumped off buildings, and one was poisoned, which is Paraquat.”

“Do you know Paraquat?”

“I know.”

Tuberculosis Rabbit nodded gloomily, “Many of my past clients drank that stuff. The bodies were easy to handle, much easier than those who collided at high speeds and got squeezed into mince. They were priced quite low.”

“She was my first love.”

“Pff…”

Tuberculosis Rabbit couldn’t help but spit out the beer he had just brought to his lips. Seeing the look in Sword Without End’s eyes as he turned to him, he said seriously, “I drank too fast and choked. You go on, I’m listening.”

“She was a very pretty girl.”

Lost in his memories, Sword Without End murmured, “A very gentle girl. At that time, my father worked hard away from home all year long. He worked too hard for the money he gave me; I couldn’t bear to spend it. I would only take a little, save the rest, planning to give it all back to him once I was in college.”

“So he wouldn’t have to work so hard.”
