After the thesis was approved, once the degree certificate was received, there would be nothing left to worry about, and one could leave early. He Zhengwei thought about how that student had caused a mess and just ran away; he was almost driven mad with anger.
He returned to the dormitory and explained the situation to Zhao Xiang. Zhao Xiang immediately contacted his friend, but was unable to reach him. He then set his bag down and took out something from it, placing it on the table. "I'm going out to find him," he said. Zhao Xiang knew where that friend lived.
After Zhao Xiang left, He Zhengwei intended to find Li Yan. As he passed by Zhao Xiang's desk, his attention was drawn to the notebook that Zhao Xiang had placed there. Was this the reason Zhao Xiang came back?
With that thought in mind, He Zhengwei curiously opened the notebook. To his surprise, he found a piece of music inside. He could imagine how popular this piece would make Zhao Xiang after it was released.
Flipping to the last page, he saw the words "Graduation Gift," and his gaze drifted toward Yan Qing, who was still asleep on the bed. At that moment, He Zhengwei felt as if he had lost all his strength.
Yan Qing woke up at that moment and asked groggily, "What time is it?"
He Zhengwei numbly glanced at the clock in the dormitory—it was eleven-thirty.
Yan Qing sleepily climbed out of bed. He Zhengwei couldn't remember how he made his way to Li Yan's office; his heart sank into despair.
Only one image filled his mind: during their sophomore year, after Zhao Xiang moved into the dormitory, there was one night when he suddenly asked him and Yan Qing, "Who knows how to play the violin?"
Yan Qing had confidently replied that he did, while He Zhengwei had shaken his head in embarrassment. Since then, Zhao Xiang had grown closer to Yan Qing.
He Zhengwei felt an overwhelming sense of regret.
He turned his thoughts to the second year of college when a grading error cost him his scholarship. His mother refused to give him living expenses, and during that month before summer break, he had only three dollars to get by. He ate one meal a day and eventually fainted in his dormitory. It was Zhao Xiang who took him to the hospital and stayed with him all night.
After learning about his predicament, Zhao Xiang bought him nutritious meals every day. He Zhengwei felt a pang of heartache. He couldn't accept that Zhao Xiang liked someone else. He hated himself, hated Yan Qing, and despised the person who had sabotaged his studies.
As he walked through the campus, he accidentally bumped into someone who cursed at him. He Zhengwei hated that person too—he hated everyone who made his life miserable.
Numbly, he walked to Professor Li Yan's office, but Li Yan was not there. He Zhengwei waited at the desk, glancing at a page torn from a notebook on Li Yan's table. His eyes quickly scanned the contents, and he was shocked.
Since moving to the city from Luozheng Village at fifteen, he had heard the elders talk about Wang Xiaoyan. Such an outstanding girl with a bright future had tragically died from depression, only to be blamed posthumously. Anger surged within him; it felt unjust for Wang Xiaoyan.
In that moment, he felt a deep connection with her. Outside, thunder rumbled, and suddenly lightning flashed outside the office window, startling He Zhengwei. Looking down, he noticed a red card on the floor, devoid of any numbers. When he touched it, the card lit up.
"Congratulations! You have become the fifteenth host of the system."
"Are you sure you want to activate Campus Self-Destruct Mode?"
Campus Self-Destruct?
He Zhengwei's heart raced.
Love was gone.
His degree was gone.
He felt no attachment to this school, and he didn't want to live anymore.
With Campus Self-Destruct Mode activated, you are the system's chosen one; the entire game is dictated by you, but it requires a price—your life. Please consider this seriously.
He Zhengwei smiled slightly. No need to think it over; I choose to activate it!
In his excitement, he accidentally knocked some documents off the table.
Bending down to pick them up, the system asked again.
If he were to activate it, he thought of Zhao Xiang. He hesitated for a moment before sending a message to Zhao Xiang.
Goodbye!
Then he spoke softly, "Activate."
Once he finished speaking, he could no longer hear what the system was saying.
The door was pushed open forcefully, and Li Yan, who had just heard the commotion, looked at the papers on the desk that had vanished in shock. There was no time left.
He Zhengwei said, "But teacher, you are a teacher; only you believe in me. So I’ve given you fifteen minutes to escape the school; only you can get out." He said this lightly.
At that moment, the system activated.
Li Yan had no idea who the culprit was, but she instinctively felt it was related to Wang Xiaoyan.
She searched the office for a long time and finally found that page of paper mixed among a pile of documents on the desk. She took the paper and went to find He Zhengwei, hoping to bring him back from the brink.
However, once she stepped out of the office, chaos erupted in the school.
She was bitten on the leg by a mutated rat, which dragged her near the Pavilion. Knowing she was facing death, she bit her finger and wrote on the ground: He Zhengwei.
But before she could finish writing, the mouse bit through her neck.
