life in the world

She wants Harutaki Xingchuan to quickly show her due strength, prove that the test ranking is correct, and help her solve the problem of bullying and cyber violence...at least she thinks so.

However, she didn't want the fact that the other party's grades were better than her own to come true.

If Xingchuan is the real fourth grader, then she, or the girl named "Nogami Izumi", what else is there to boast and be proud of in front of him?

There is not much difference in appearance and charm, women are undoubtedly inherently weak in terms of physical ability, and regardless of the insidious and cunning mind, or the calm and mature handling of things... Now even the academic performance is also lost to Xingchuan Harutaki.

"So, why do you think this is troublesome, Nogami-san? Is there such a possibility—for example, the anonymous user who posted this post is me."

Haru Taki logged into his account, and calmly showed the editing background of the post to the other party.

"Here, look."

"You...why do you do this kind of thing? The solution you mentioned...couldn't it be the so-called 'squatting in a prison together' to share the pressure?"

Although it seems that this is not impossible-the only student who is excluded in the school, the only special existence in Hitani High School-

She thought about it with some unease, but then felt that this situation was unrealistic, especially since Xingchuan Harutaki would never be such a gentle guy.

The boy would only laugh at her incompetence and weakness, while extending a helping hand to her, and when he finally pulled her up, he would say something like "Thank you for showing your breasts", "Dogeza has enough sincerity." ’ Such irritating frivolity.

Very well, when thinking of this scene, her fist was hardened.

"If you think that such a sacrifice and sharing weal and woe can make me fall in love with you, then I'm really sorry, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible. I really don't understand why you, Xingchuan, like daydreaming so much."

She raised her head slightly, glanced contemptuously at Haru Taki beside her, and said sarcastically.

"When you fall into my situation, you don't think I can sympathize with you, do you? I will definitely laugh at you without hesitation, idiot!"

"Nogami-san, you are too narcissistic. I have already said that I like Sifang-san, not a bad girl like you who speaks rudely and has a bad personality."

For a strong guy like Izumi Nogami, it is impossible to get favored by obedience and retreat, not to mention that Harutaki is looking for a girlfriend, not an ancestor to serve him.

When it's profitable and desirable, he doesn't mind such things as embarrassing and making the other party happy, but like now...

"I'm really sorry, although the facts are very hurtful, but I have to say frankly, whoever dates or even marries you, Nogami-san, will be really bad luck for eight lifetimes."

"Xingchuan, you bastard!"

"Thank you for the compliment, I know I'm pretty badass."

This guy... This bastard is clearly the proud one, right? !

Nogami Izumi gritted his teeth and looked at Harutaki's smug smile, wishing he could be pushed down in this unoccupied classroom immediately, just like he trampled on the photo and the Shiba Inu doll yesterday, trampled on him, trampled on his handsomeness To the disgusting face, trampled on his bad and irritating character.

"Let's get down to business, Nogami-san might as well use your clever mind, which everyone praises, and think about why I do this."

Haruaki promptly stopped the topic from becoming noisy, and shifted the focus back to solving the problem of bullying and cyber violence.

Through the temptation of the conversation just now, he felt that he seemed to have drawn a rather bad conclusion——

Girls probably have a crush on him.

It's not a lot, but compared to a guy who is regarded as an "ant" or a "toy" except for his friends, it's amazing that he can get this treatment.

It would never be a good thing to be entangled with a character like her.Even if she has a face and figure that can be said to be one in a million or even one in a million, and has a background and family background that countless people can't match...

Like Izumi Nogami, or be liked by Izumi Nogami, this is undoubtedly a very troublesome thing.

Coquettish, arrogant, mean, condescending, arrogant, indifferent and cruel to existence other than her approval... such a bad personality, even if he corrected part of it after a lesson, it would definitely not be a good match.

She never considers the other party's thoughts and feelings, only cares about her own emotions and gains and losses.

Unless he Xingchuan Harutaki is the kind of weak M who likes to be bullied, how can he accept a girlfriend like Izumi Nogami.

How can a man live in the world, how can he live in depression for a long time! ?

Even if he was a little bit attracted to her, it was just attracted by the girl's inadvertently revealed soft part.

Of course, he thought to himself, the soft part here belongs to the softness of character or heart, and it is by no means a strange place.

"Why do you do this..."

Izumi Nogami flipped through the post from the beginning, while thinking under Harutaki's guidance.

Although it was a little hard to say, she felt that this guy Xingchuan was not the kind of person who would cheat——

Under the assumption that Harutaki Xingchuan would not cheat, he deliberately sent out such a post because he had two considerations.

First, he wants to show that his grades and learning ability are fake, but such speculation is inexplicable from any angle and completely untenable.

In other words, his real purpose is to prove that this post is fake.

That's right, this guy Xingchuan posted a fake post specifically to crack down on fakes...

After Harutaki Xingchuan's first step was confirmed, Izumi Nogami immediately continued to speculate.

As the chief culprit of spreading rumors and slandering her, why didn't Xingchuan directly announce the methods and material evidence to wash away her stigma?

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly thought of a question——

If there is not enough credibility as a premise, a certain existence is considered to have made a mistake, even if it is really right, there is really nothing strange behind the matter, but when it makes an announcement to express its innocence, there will be many people It is considered to be an act of concealment, which further stimulates the development of rumors and slander.

The vast majority of people will only believe the facts they want to believe, even if what they believe is not in line with the facts, they will find all kinds of reasons to support the "false truth".

For example, after the United States' moon landing was supported by countless evidences, some people still think it was a Hollywood studio.

For example, some people who have never even left their hometowns have always believed in the theory of a flat earth, and that the fact that the earth is round is a deception and concealment from the upper echelon...

Although this situation is not absolute, but in case?

What if Harutaki Hoshikawa posted a clarification as a rumormonger, and some people think that she used some means to coerce and lure her, or she created perjury herself?

In this case, there is only one way to prove her innocence and get rid of the influence of rumors——

"Xingchuan... Do you want to use this post as a basis to indirectly prove that the posts that slander anyone in the anonymous forum on campus are most likely to be rumors?"

But this is not enough, right?

No, it should be said that it is only to such an extent that it is not enough to convince most people, right?

And... no matter who it is, why use yourself as a springboard or a tool to prove it by pouring dirty water on yourself?

The effect of doing this will not be much better than other methods, but... Could it be that he is doing it for her...

Ha, do you think such a small favor can impress her?

What a naive fool.

Dogs who wag their tails at their owners will only be rewarded with petting their heads and multiple bones!

She thought to herself, it would be good to give Xingchuan a little comfort after the matter is over.

Touching the head, or...or maybe a knee pillow should suffice, too?

"As expected of Nogami-san, at least I've already thought about half of it."

Harutaki smiled and clapped his hands lightly, speaking words of appreciation as if praising a child.

But she always felt that the bastard Xingchuan was mocking her and only thought half of it.

"Just like the conjecture named 'Xingchuan Harutaki's Shushu', there is a 50% probability that the radioactive material will kill the Shushu, but no one knows whether the Shushu is dead or alive until the black box is opened. I believe Most people have good intentions and don't expect to see a dead mouse at the moment they open the box - when the outcome or the facts are in an uncertain situation, people tend to tend to favor themselves, that is, prefer that side."

"People who want Shushu to survive will naturally not accept the statement of another group of Murphy's Law believers. Even if one day in the future science develops to the extent that they can observe the situation in the box and find that the cat is dead, they will do it for themselves. Find all kinds of reasons to 'prove' that the truth will be the development you want, and the event will be the result you want..."

"Wait, isn't this Schrödinger's cat?"

Izumi Nogami interrupted his explanation suddenly.

"I like cats, so it's okay to change to Shushu, right?"

Shushu is not as cute as cats, and in his eyes, he has no right to be a mouse.

"All in all, directly denying what people believe is true, the result is likely to be resistance, and even cause serious backlash, leading the incident to a result that neither you nor I want to see."

"In this case, I just need to prepare their favorite truth."

As he spoke, he clicked on another popular post on the school's anonymous forum and showed the content to Izumi Nogami for viewing.

"Almost every child has heard the story of the wolf coming from "Aesop's Fables". What we have to do is not to refute the rumor that you are aiding communication, but to prove that the rumor maker himself has a problem."

"Are you going to blow yourself up?"

Harutaki Xingchuan:?

"What do you mean I'm going to blow myself up..."

He glanced at Nogami Izumi speechlessly, and felt that the other party seemed to like to not use his brain at all when he could rely on him. This was a terrible discovery.

"I didn't say that the 'rumour-monger' was me."

"then you……"

The girl froze for a moment, then clapped her fists in a sudden realization.

"You are going to create a fictional target and make people who don't exist become 'rumor makers'."

"A group composed of the majority is always ignorant. It may be a bit too much to say, but when people log on to the Internet and become Internet users, they are indeed such an ignorant group—like a flock of sheep, they need a shepherd. dogs to lead them to the pasture and back to the sheepfold."

"There are so many rumors about the person 'Izumi Nogami' that the only one with seemingly reliable evidence is the post that caused the bullying and the fire in the first place... when most people are led to think that they have discovered the rumors After the loopholes in the post, we just need to repave the road to the truth and turn it in our favor."

"In other words, I will become a victim of a new round of cyber violence, and the shepherd who will lead the flock to where the truth is."

"and then?"

Izumi Nogami couldn't help looking at Harutaki Xingchuan with some expectation, just like a child lying in bed waiting for his parents to tell a story before going to sleep.

"Cyber ​​violence and bullying will never end, they will only turn to the next target, unless the victim has an accident that can overshadow the bullying position, otherwise there may be no rest in peace after death."

"Have you ever played jackpot?"

Drumming and passing flowers is a specialty of Chongguo, and Izumi Nogami may not understand it, so he mentioned a game that is very popular in the world-drawing ghost cards.

"As long as you push that Joker card to the next person, you will win if you don't have the Joker card in your hand at the end...or the person who holds the Joker at the end will be the only loser."

"So you're going to make that fictional 'rumour-monger' the last loser with the joker card?"

After gradually sorting out the idea of ​​the solution, she couldn't help but feel a little excited, as if she was now in charge of the whole situation.

"Not only that, but you also need to use a little despicable means to make you a victim, so that those who are watching will join in the crusade against the 'bully' out of sympathy."

"You... what do you want to...?"

"What do you think about having bugs stuffed into shoe cabinets? When you go out in the hall in the morning and open the cabinet door and there's a lot of bugs gushing out of it, it's going to freak everyone out."

"If you dare to do this, I will kill you!"

The thing she hates the most is bugs, not one of them - if Xingchuan Chuntaki really stuffed bugs into her shoe cabinet, she felt that she would definitely stuff the shoes inside into his mouth again.

"Then nail it."

"..."

Seeing that the girl did not object, Harutaki directly finalized the method of persecution.

"The biggest advantage of the plan is that the 'bully' who spread rumors and nails are all fictitious, and it is impossible for anyone to jump out and admit this crime that will be sent to the police station for education by the school."

"In the end, the bullying in reality will gradually stop with the disappearance of the weakness, but the carnival on the Internet cannot be calmed down so easily... The Internet has no memory-this sentence is unfolded to understand, in fact, it should be saying People's energy is limited, and under the washing of hot topics and news one after another, they will eventually ignore the hot spots in the past."

"You want to create a new hot topic to divert attention?"

Nogami Izumi easily understood the meaning of his words.

"Since I can't push this kind of thing to innocent people, so..."

He pointed to himself and said with a smile.

"I have to sacrifice my reputation."

"What kind of great man do you really think of yourself? You idiot..."

She murmured, but she couldn't think of a more suitable method than this since she was so unfamiliar with this aspect that she couldn't do anything.

?

In the student cafeteria, Hoshikawa Harutaki occupied a table by himself, and under the watchful eyes from time to time, he ate the tonkotsu ramen calmly. He even added a plate of vegetables beside the big bowl because he was in a good mood. salad.

Self-sacrifice?

Are you kidding me?

Is Harutaki Hoshikawa some decent hero willing to sacrifice himself to save strangers?

What a fake and hypocritical guy.

He secretly thought about the righteous statement he just made in front of Nogami Izumi, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

snort snort.
