"Students" Conspiracy

"Ten, eleven, twelve..."

"..."

Si Ming gritted his teeth and endured it bitterly, the stick slammed down on his back, his skin was torn apart.

"95, 96, 97..."

The girl's voice sounded extraordinarily calm amidst the monotonous and repeated banging sounds, and it trembled a little when listened carefully.

"One hundred," after the last count, Jing Che looked directly into Xiao Jin's eyes, restraining his anger in a calm tone: "General Xiao, are you satisfied?"

Xiao Jin sneered disdainfully: "Oh, little girl, you still have such a backbone."

Jing Che turned a deaf ear to it, and even ignored Si Ming who had just finished his sentence, and walked out.

With a pale face, Si Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly walked down the execution platform.

"Lord Si Ming, you have to remember this punishment. Rules are dead, but people have to live. The emperor values ​​you and gave you the entire Shura field. It doesn't mean that you can use this little power to do things randomly. .”

Even though he was a bit hypocritical, his voice was still calm, he cupped his hands and said to Xiao Jin: "Your Majesty will send General Xiao off respectfully."

Seeing that the person was gone, he staggered back a step while supporting the case, and coughed up a mouthful of blood.He limped back to the room with his waist supported, and Jing Che was sitting inside.

He wasn't surprised, on the contrary, it was expected.

Before Si Ming could speak, Jing Che stood up to meet him: "I'm here to apologize."

"No need." Si Ming walked straight into the house with his waist supported, and opened the drawer to find something.

"Here I am," Jing Che raised the medicine bottle in his hand, "I really came to apologize, if it wasn't for me... just don't say much, you must know what I mean, I was angry with you when I left just now Why don't you let me do it, I would rather die with him, think about your difficulties as an official... I will give you medicine, but you can't do it yourself."

Si Ming quietly listened to her talk.

In memory, this was the first time Jing Che spoke so many words, like a chattering little girl, relentlessly pouring out her words to others.

He walked over without saying a word and stood in front of Jing Che.He was a head taller than Jing Che, looking down at her.

Jing Che took a step back subconsciously, only to see Si Ming suddenly took off his clothes, revealing his hard-covered chest.

"What are you doing?" Jing Che swallowed.

"Didn't you want to apply medicine to me?" Si Ming asked back with a side face, turned around and lay down on the couch.

Jing Che walked over with a guilty conscience, his face tensed, he pulled out the stopper calmly, wiped out a little ointment and applied it on Si Ming's back.

In addition to the rod wound on his back, there are many large and small scars, which are shocking.

Both of them were silent, Jing Che's method of applying the medicine was extremely incompetent, but he didn't ask him if it hurt.

Si Ming gritted his teeth, but didn't make a sound at all. After a long time, he suddenly heard: "Are you in pain now? You could have gone out, but because of one word, your hope was shattered."

"Painful." Jing Che paused, but did not hide his emotions.Si Ming's questions are always bloody, but Jing Che likes this straightforward approach, she has always been such a person who is not good at pretending.

"So at that time you wanted to kill Xiao Jin, but you knew you couldn't. A killer must keep a clear head, but your emotions always go one step ahead of your reason. If you say it nicely, you are a temperamental person, but if it sounds ugly, you are stupid. .”

Jing Che smiled noncommittally: "Then why are you holding back Xiao Jin so much?"

"The first level of officialdom crushes people to death." There was a hint of sarcasm in Si Ming's words.

"You are in charge of the entire Asura Field and the Yinzi Army, wouldn't it be good to turn against Xiao Jin?"

Si Ming struggled to look sideways at Jing Che, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Eighteen, I found out that you really trust me?"

"I—" Jing Che opened his mouth, but did not refute, and finally admitted honestly, "It's probably like this."

"Why? I tortured you clearly at first."

"But you taught me how to survive in this place. I should thank you for remaking me into what I am now."

"But you shouldn't trust me either."

"This is my own business, don't care about your business." Jing Che's hands became uneven, and he pressed harder on purpose, clearly aware of Si Ming's body trembling, but he still didn't hum.

"I used to be very satisfied with you, but now I find that you will never be a qualified killer." After a long time, Si Ming's voice was still cold, and he asked, "Eighteen, you still have to stay here is it on?"

"Don't go." Jing Che also resumed his usual succinctness.

"Spend the rest of your life here killing people, you'll regret it." His tone was a little pitiful.

"I do not know."

After Jing Che went back to see Hua Ruyan, she had just come back from a day of free life, but strangely she didn't make any noise, she sat there worried, and when she saw Jing Che coming, she only looked up at her.

"What's the matter?" Jing Che noticed that there was something strange in the atmosphere and asked.

"Xiao Shiba, I went out today and saw pear blossoms blooming in the city, and found that it is actually not as beautiful as I imagined."

Jing Che frowned, always feeling that there was something in her words.

"Xiao Shiba, it's fine even if you don't go out, it's fine here."

Jing Che stared at her, eyes filled with panic: "You know?"

Hua Ruyan nodded.

"You don't need to accompany me." Jing Che turned his back, trying to cover up his emotions with his hands, but found that only her and Hua Ruyan were in this rough place, and only their emotions needed to be sorted out.

"Xiao Shiba, in fact, going out is also killing people, and being inside is also killing people. I don't care about that little freedom."

"It's not the same!" Jing Che interrupted her irritably, "otherwise, why did you have to endure so much suffering this year? You said that people don't need to be so noble in troubled times, and you don't have to stay for me."

"Xiao Shiba, I've already made my decision."

Her "Little Eighteen" with a correct accent made Jing Che think of her master's "Ache" with a long and shallow smile. This was something she regarded as a treasure in the short years.

Jing Che was stunned at that moment.

Two girls of the same age held each other's hands tightly in this bloody and sinful place, sharing the last warmth in their lives.

***

In a flash, three years passed.

There have been four batches of people coming and going in the Asura field, some people went crazy, some people died, and some people finally managed to become members of the Hidden Word Army and see the light of day again.But only Jing Che and Hua Ruyan stayed in the Asura field day after day, year after year.

The days are calm, but the premise of this calm is numbness.When killing and blood becomes the same habit as eating and sleeping, then everything will calm down.

The only thing that made Jing Che feel inexplicably flustered was that in the past three years, Xiao Jin never troubled her again. He seemed to be very confident that one day she would submit to him obediently.But Jing Che couldn't guess what kind of time bomb he was holding, she could only be firm in her heart over and over again, she would definitely not compromise with Xiao Jin.

Looking at the almanac, I realized that it was the end of the new year again. For newcomers, the more this time came, the more nervous they were, because this was the final elimination, which decided whether they would die here or see the light of day again as a hidden character army.However, for Jing Che, it was the same year after year, and there was almost no suspense.

In the dark and cramped corridor of the Shura Field, Jing Che was carrying a pot of water to go back to the room, but Si Ming stopped her behind him: "Eighteen."

She turned and stared at him.

"Xiao Jin is here," Jing Che subconsciously stopped when he heard this, and Si Ming then calmed down her nervousness: "Leaving again."

Then he walked up to her unhurriedly, and handed her a bundle: "Xiao Jin said, I wish you a happy new year."

Without thinking too much, she knew that Xiao Jin's arrogant and contemptuous tone when she spoke, she took the burden and turned around to leave: "Got it."

When I went back, I opened the bundle and saw that there was a mass of soft clothes inside, ordinary girl's clothes, and there were a few Zhuchai headdresses wrapped inside.She smiled sarcastically. Could it be that this year he took the route of warmth?

He threw the burden aside, but still involuntarily glanced a few more times.

I can't say what kind of temptation it is, but in my heart, I still yearn for it after all, right?

After sitting for a while and getting up again, Jing Che went to the training ground to find Hua Ruyan.She was practicing sword against a human target.Jing Che casually picked up a sword, climbed up the rock wall and swept forward.

"Drink!" A sharp knife slashed down, the people below couldn't resist, staggered, and the sword fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Xiao Shiba, I really can't beat you recently." Hua Ruyan threw away the sword, smiled and rubbed her numb wrist.

Jing Che smiled lightly, but looked past Hua Ruyan to the door.

Si Ming didn't know when he was standing at the door, and he came over when he saw the two people stop fighting.

"Eighteen, come with me."

"Why didn't you finish what you had to say just now?" Jing Che walked over impatiently.

"I've come to inform you that the elimination day will be in three days, and you and Hua Ruyan have to participate."

It seemed that he deliberately suppressed the "du" in the words. Jing Che always felt that Si Ming seemed to want to express something, but his thoughts were always deep, and she didn't bother to guess, so she said perfunctorily: "I knew you were unselfish. Willing to release water, isn’t it like this every year? Why repeat it this year.”

Si Ming clasped his hands behind his back, paused and said, "I just came to ask you once, are you sure you want to stay here? As long as you..."

"As long as you submit to Xiao Jin, you will be able to go out immediately - is this the sentence? Heh, what benefit did Xiao Jin give you, and you want to come as a lobbyist too?" Jing Che walked past him and left, with a mocking smile on his lips When the intention is turned away, nothing remains.

Is she really that firm?Jing Che didn't know either, she was getting more and more confident.Behind that kind of numbness to strength is actually just a fragile shell.

She can persist even if it is just a kind of inertia, so once this inertia is broken, what else can she persist in?

The footsteps are getting faster and faster, with a little haste and panic.

Three days later, it will be the elimination day of the year.Everyone only knew who their opponent was after entering, and when Jing Che quickly adapted to the dark surroundings and saw the five opponents standing in front of her, she immediately froze in place.

The person on the opposite side also looked at her, their expressions gradually becoming embarrassing.

This year, her opponent actually had Hua Ruyan in his hands.
