"Are you clinging to me out of resentment? Or do you want me to do something?" I asked.
Ji Xiao sat crouched in a white space, with his hands hugging his knees, the bright yellow of his clothes contrasting sharply with the all-white dream.
Ji Xiao remained silent.
I don't care anymore. I thought since he no longer cries in the middle of the night, I can sleep peacefully and don't need to bother with other people's business. What I didn't expect was that soon after, I couldn't see Ji Xiao in my dreams anymore, only heard his miserable crying. And then came the white haze.
The irritation kept me from falling asleep at all. When I woke up, I didn't feel any physical effects of inhaling too much smog, only the psychological sensation of having done so. Frustrated, I decided to find the person who hired me to kill Ji Xiao and transfer this jinx to them.
The next day, I went to the vocational school where Ji Xiaosheng used to study, and decided to start investigating Ji Xiao's enemies from his classmates. It's a pity that I, Xu Xingyue, a professional assassin, ended up helping the victim investigate his enemies. However, I still have to maintain some professional ethics, and will not silence anyone. It's just that this feud from the underworld should be settled by the enemy.
Fortunately, this is a vocational high school, so not many people care about makeup and hair dye. I easily disguised myself as a student and sneaked into the school. As soon as I entered the school, I asked two people about Ji Xiao. I thought it would be like finding a needle in a haystack, but it turns out they both know Ji Xiao. "Ji Xiao used to hang out with the school bully, but I haven't seen him around Chuzhou Zhi recently."
"Yes, isn't Brother Chu done with him? Did he get a new little follower?" There were two girls in front of me, one with blonde hair and the other with purple hair. The blonde girl had heavy makeup on, while the purple-haired girl didn't wear any, probably because her face was covered in acne, making her look somewhat pitiful.
"Is Ji Xiao the lackey of the school bully?" I interrupted their conversation and asked.
"We were just kidding about the school bully, Brother Chu doesn't like those titles. Ji Xiao is just a lackey by Brother Chu's side. Brother Chu has quite a few followers by his side, and Ji Xiao... is particularly 'favored,'" said the blonde girl, with a sly smile, along with the purple-haired girl.
"What does 'especially favored' mean?"
"Oh, it's just the literal meaning. I'm not very clear about it either. It's all hearsay."
"There are a lot of dirty things going on in this school. It's said that Ji Xiao is the one who cleans up after Chuzhou Zhi. Whenever Chuzhou Zhi is involved in something dirty, they let Ji Xiao handle it, or they just let Ji Xiao take the blame," Purple Hair said cautiously, as if afraid of being overheard.
I roughly guess that Chuzhou Zhi must have a lot of enemies, and these enemies have found Ji Xiao. This seems to be a small-scale underworld. So I directly asked these two about Chuzhou Zhi, and I'm ready to go meet this person directly.
Two girls were somewhat surprised, but still told me Chuzhou Zhi's class, and mentioned some of the places Chuzhou Zhi often frequents.
On my way to find Chuzhou Zhi, I suddenly realized that perhaps Chuzhou Zhi is one of Ji Xiao's biggest enemies.
It's definitely not easy being a scapegoat sidekick.
"Ji Xiao? Who are you? Why are you asking about him?" At the entrance of the restroom, a young man with blue hair was extinguishing a cigarette that he hadn't finished smoking, his eyes full of disdain. Several non-mainstream young people were gathered around him, presumably this blue-haired person was Chuzhou Zhi.
"Earlier, the police came to ask about Ji Xiao. Is this guy missing or dead?" A henchman next to Chuzhou Zhi spoke first.
Chuzhou Zhi glared at him, then used a disdainful tone to ask me, "What's your relationship with Ji Xiao? You're not a student at this school, are you?"
I was taken aback, but I knew it wasn't a good time to reveal the truth. My brain quickly started to spin, and I began to make up a story, "I am a relative of Ji Xiao's family, from the vocational school next door."
"The vocational school next door? A college student? No wonder you look so old..." Chuzhou Zhi lit another cigarette.
I wasn't angry, after all, I was indeed in my twenties.
"Ji Xiao has been missing for many days, and the police have no leads," I paused, "I didn't care much about Ji Xiao, I don't know what he was like at school, can you tell me?"
As soon as I said this, a few henchmen next to Chuzhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh, and Chuzhou Zhi took a deep breath of smoke, with a contemptuous expression, then exhaled smoke, "Oh, Ji Xiao, he's gay, always doing dirty things, no one at home cares about him, but he's quite rich, always forcing good classmates... What did he do? You have to ask those good classmates."
After Chuzhou Zhi finished speaking, he chuckled, and the colorful henchmen next to him all showed a faint smile on their faces, but to me, it didn't seem like a friendly smile.
I remained silent and didn't ask the next question, but tried to establish Ji Xiao based on what they said. It took me a long time to recover.
Chuzhou Zhi's expression returned to its cynical look, "Anything else you want to ask?"
"Can you give an example of something dirty?"
"Burning hair, smearing red ink, throwing other people's things into the school's lake..." Chuzhou Zhi and I seriously shook our heads, "There are also some unsavory things, this one I won't say because it's not pleasant to hear, it's some gay stuff, you can figure it out yourself."
After they finished, they burst into laughter.
"What's so funny about these things?" I looked calmly at this group of high school students, people with colorful dyed hair, and all sorts of strange and peculiar individuals.
"This is so interesting, big sister," Chuzhou Zhi laughed, "Ji Xiao's life is much more interesting than ours."
"Can you tell me, did Ji Xiao bully any classmates?"
Chuzhou Zhi and his little follower looked at each other, and Chuzhou Zhi said awkwardly, "Too many, all of them are honest students with good grades." Then Chuzhou Zhi casually pointed to a little follower next to him and said, "There he is."
I paused and asked him, "Ji Xiao did to you?" The assistant glanced at Chuzhou Zhi and then replied, "He poured red ink on my head. We share a dorm room, and he always soaks all of my shoes, leaving me with nothing to wear." "Did you hear that?" Chuzhou Zhi smirked cunningly.
"Sister, people like Ji Xiao are better off disappearing early, don't bother looking for them."
The midday glaring sunlight gradually appeared on the teaching building, but the area around the vocational school restroom was completely devoid of sunlight.
