#1779 - Uneasy (How can instant noodles be made without water)

The next day, Junna Hoshimi took a leave of absence and did not come to class.

Well, this is also normal.

After all, Duanmu Huai had no intention of being polite to her. This little brat needed to be severely taught by reality before he could understand the truth!

Of course, things don't end there.

After everyone else arrived at the classroom, Duanmu Huai walked up to the podium. Everyone was a little surprised to see him suddenly appear, but Duanmu Huai didn't care about that. He just supported himself on the podium with both hands and looked coldly at the students below.

"Next, I'm going to talk about some things. If you understand these things, then you understand them. If you don't understand them, then you don't understand them."

"???"

Although no one knew what Duanmu Huai was talking about, the others also stopped and stared at him.

"What I want to say has to do with a damn giraffe."

Duanmu Huai said this while looking around the classroom. Most of the students were very curious and surprised by what he said, and they didn't seem to understand what he was talking about. But there were also a few people who looked a little uneasy, as if they had been told a secret.

As expected, I knew it couldn't be just Hoshimi Jun.

Duanmu Huai was not surprised, he just continued talking to himself.

"Being able to fulfill wishes is just a child's dream. The realization of any dream requires a price. It doesn't mean that it doesn't exist just because you don't know it. Or do you think that if a talking giraffe stood in front of you and told you that your wish could come true, you would be like a fool and listen to it?"

Why are you so specific?

For those students who didn't know what RAVUE stage was, Duanmu Huai's words were indeed a bit confusing, and soon someone raised his hand out of curiosity.

"Student Duanmu, what on earth are you talking about? Is this some urban legend?"

"That's about right."

Duanmu Huai nodded.

"Have you not heard of this legend? A text message that you have no memory of suddenly appears on your phone. When you click it, you will find yourself on a stage. Then there is a giraffe that can speak human language in front of you, telling you that as long as you complete the trial and become a TOPSTAR, you can go on any stage you want..."

At this point, most of the students were still curious and confused, but a few of them had already started sweating profusely.

"Is this a school ghost story? This is the first time I've heard of it."

"That's about right."

Duanmu Huai did not explain too much.

"I just want to tell you that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If someone tells you that it can make your wish come true, they are either greedy for your body or greedy for your body."

When hearing Duanmu Huai's joke, most students chuckled, but some couldn't laugh at all.

"That's right. So I hope you all will be more careful. If you encounter those sweet words and deceptions, the best thing to do is to ignore them. After all, if something goes wrong......"

Having said that, Duanmu Huai paused and looked meaningfully at Hoshimi Junna's seat in the classroom.

"That would be terrible."

After saying this, Duanmu Huai walked out of the classroom directly, leaving the other students confused. Some people looked at the empty seats in silence.

"Uh... So, you really did attack that girl named Hoshimi Junna?"

"certainly."

In response to Kurokawa Akane's question, Duanmu Huai nodded indifferently.

"This is the typical example of someone who won't cry until he sees the coffin. He has to be severely beaten before he knows how powerful she is. Not to mention that she can't get out of bed today, I don't think she will be able to get out of bed for the next week! Ha, if I wasn't worried that if I killed her on that stage, her soul might be taken away by that damn giraffe, I would have hacked her to death directly."

Listening to Duanmu Huai's murderous propaganda, Heichuan Akane was also sweating. Although she knew that Duanmu Huai was quite inhumane whenever he was involved in these things, now it seems... well, he is really inhumane.

Although Kurokawa Akane did not see what Duanmu Huai did to Hoshimi Jun, she could guess that, to be honest, this was indeed a very painful thing for a young girl.

However, even if she forced herself to close her eyes and fall asleep, she could still dream about it.

A terrifying black shadow appeared in front of her, twisted, and its tentacles, which seemed to devour everything, tightly wrapped around her body like vines. The strong stench it emitted penetrated her mouth and nose with compulsion, making her nauseous and terrified. However, no matter how she struggled, it was useless. She couldn't scream, nor could she struggle to get rid of it.

He could only despairingly feel the hot, slimy, python-like existence coiling in his stomach, as if even his blood was being devoured and penetrated…

“Crunch—”

The door opened, and Hoshimi Junna suddenly opened her eyes, gasping for air. The nightmare temporarily left her, but the painful scars on her body did not. Even if she just shook her body slightly, she could feel the intense pain. But more importantly, she did feel fear.

She could no longer step onto that stage again. Even just thinking about the stage filled her with fear and terror.

"Junna!"

Just then, a tall blonde girl walked into the bedroom. She was Junna Hoshimi's roommate, Nana Ohba.

The latter walked up to Junna Hoshimi and stared at her.

"What happened?"

"……………………"

"You told me that you were not feeling well, but today... classmate Duanmu said some very strange things. Is that related to that?"

“……………………”

"Is your illness related to classmate Duanmu?"

“————!”

Just hearing Duanmu Huai's name made Hoshimi Junna tremble, and when Ohba Nana saw this scene, she gritted her teeth, reached out and grabbed Hoshimi Junna's arm and pulled her out of the quilt.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"don't want-----!"

However, what Nana Ohba saw next made her eyes widen in surprise.

Under the messy pajamas and slipped sleeves, Jun Hoshimi's fair skin was covered with bruises, which looked like she was tied up with ropes or whipped. One of Jun Hoshimi's hands was held by Nana Ohba, and the other hand was covering her face.

"No, don't look at me, please..."

“………………Did she do this?”

"……………………"

"Junna!"

“……………………”

Faced with her friend's questions, Hoshimi Jun'na shook her head desperately.

"Don't go, Nana, don't go to her... It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

Nana Ohba clenched her hands as she watched her friend lower her head, mutter to herself, and seem to be in a panic. She let go of her friend and watched her curl herself up in the quilt again.

Finally, she made up her mind.

She must find the other person and get to the bottom of it!

Nana Ohba did what she said, and after comforting Junna Hoshimi and watching her trembling and falling asleep again, she left the dormitory and returned to school.

Then she quickly found Duanmu Huai who was having lunch with Kurokawa Akane.

"What did you do to Junna?"

Standing in front of Duanmu Huai, Nana Ohba looked at him angrily, while Duanmu Huai didn't even bother to blink.

"Like I said, there are always people who are foolish enough to believe the sweet words of that giraffe. If that's the case, then I don't mind giving them a beating from reality, so that they know that dreaming is just something they can do in their dreams."

“How could you do this!?”

"Of course I can."

Duanmu Huai's words were firm and unwavering.

"Your world is being attacked by Noise, and instead of working hard to improve yourselves and prepare for the battle against Noise, you are obsessed with the promises made by a suspicious giraffe that can speak human language. Frankly speaking, I originally wanted to kill her, but I think that would be too easy for her, and I think you really need an example to know the consequences of your actions."

"If we can become TOPSTAR, we can put an end to this! Completely destroy Noise——————!"

However, before Nana Ohba could finish her words, Duanmu Huai suddenly stood up, reached out his hand, and strangled Nana Ohba's neck tightly.

"Stupid idiot."

At this moment, a cold, heavy murderous intent descended from the sky as if a mountain was pressing down on one's head.

"You actually believe that an inexplicable thing can destroy another inexplicable thing, instead of believing in the power of mankind? Your heretical behavior is simply a blasphemy against humanity! To be honest, I want to break your neck right here and turn you into a corpse to completely dispel your stupid idea..."

Duanmu Huai said as he raised his arm, and then Nana Ohba felt herself being thrown out, with a "bang", hitting the tree trunk behind her, and then sliding to the ground. The strong impact even made her breathless, as if all her internal organs were completely displaced by this blow.

"But I think this is too good for you. Judging from your appearance, you also participated in that stupid RAVUE. That's perfect, let's compete on the stage."

Duanmu Huai walked up to Nana Ohba, stared at her, and revealed a ferocious smile.

"I will let you experience firsthand what true despair is."
