Chapter 968 Two Golden Crows (Fifteen)
Holding the doorknob.

The moment the door opened, the consciousness within the body subtly switched, and control was returned to He Tao.

Unexpectedly, the room in front of them was not Zheng Qiran's room in Liu Sheng's memory, but He Tao's familiar dormitory.

However, the lighting was dim, with only four lonely desk lamps on the tables, unable to illuminate the shadows in the corners.

A murmur of whispers came like a tide.

"He Tao keeps dragging us to watch that LBKids show, it's so annoying..."

"Look at her, she can't even find a boyfriend, so of course she can only swoon over these idols."

"Haha, that's ridiculous. Did you even take a picture?"

"I took a picture! The way she danced looked like a skinny monkey that had just been tamed, it cracked me up!"

"It's a pity I don't dare to post it online, but I can send it to my childhood friends, best friends, and high school classmates!"

"My boyfriend said he wanted to see it, so I livestreamed it for him, and he was laughing so hard!"

"By the way, doesn't that guy like her? He even asked us for advice on how to pursue her. Let's send him a copy too, and see if he still likes her!"

"good idea!"

Mocking sounds, laughter, and whispers pounded on He Tao's ears like a dense rain.

She walked through the cramped dormitory room with only four people, yet it felt like walking through a vast and desolate wilderness.

No matter how hard you try, you can't reach the end.

Her heart clenched, as if this would allow her to avoid those open and hidden attacks.

But these whispers still seeped in everywhere, leaving her battered and bruised.

Tentacles continued to emerge, enveloping her heart and covering her ears.

"So...that's what they've always thought of me."

He Tao murmured to herself, her voice choked with disbelief.

Eyes peered at He Tao from the bed, from the cracks in the open closet doors, from the unclosed drawers, and from the webcam on the computer on the table. As she grieved, her laughter grew louder.

"Do you understand who is truly being bullied and at the very bottom?" Zheng Qiran's voice rang in my ears at that moment.

He Tao's heart skipped a beat.

In these remarks, Zheng Qiran is mentioned from time to time, as if Zheng Qiran was listening nearby and also participated in the plot to ridicule her.

"What did I do wrong?" He Tao asked, almost trembling. "I just like what I like, is that wrong?"

"Because the things you like are out of place."

"There are plenty of people who like them, otherwise how could they become top stars? Why should I be out of place?"

"Because your social circle isn't here, or you don't have any like-minded people in your dorm. Not to mention—different majors, you're a local, you're not smart enough... whatever the reason, you just don't fit in here."

"In a four-person dormitory, as long as there are at least two people, they can decide the wind direction; and if there are three people, they can decide who they dislike."

He Tao gritted her teeth and remained silent.

Zheng Qiran continued, "Do you know why I'm not ostracized despite being out of place?"

"Because I am excellent, even if they don't like me, they don't dare to show it, because they still have to rely on me to take exams, do homework, and revise papers."

Zheng Qiran's words were sarcastic, but they also made He Tao realize many things she had never been able to understand.

"I thought they were genuinely fond of me, but it turns out they just wanted to get close to me and make fun of me," He Tao said in a trembling voice.

"It's good that you know." Zheng Qiran chuckled softly, then his voice turned icy cold. "I gave you a chance to take revenge. But why didn't you take it?"

"what?"

"I've been feeding you raw meat so you could experience the pleasure of tearing apart living flesh, but you've ruined all the plans I've painstakingly laid out and wasted all my efforts. You've really disappointed me."

"Why did you do this!" He Tao roared.

Then, her eyes lit up, as if she had finally figured something out.

"You hate them too, don't you? You're so smart, yet they make you do homework, write papers, and even cheat on exams, and you have to cooperate with a smile... You're unwilling, but you can't escape the illusion of popularity they create!"

Zheng Qiran was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled: "Heh, you have quite the energy, actually arguing with me."

The next moment, she snapped her fingers.

Wow!
Countless books rained down from the sky, engulfing He Tao like a flood. The impact of the books sent He Tao crashing heavily against the ladder beside her bed.

From the surrounding shadows, countless hushed giggles rose again.

Zheng Qiran laughed and said, "You should read more books."

The books continued to fall, like an endless downpour.

He Tao suddenly jumped up, ripped the ladder behind her off, and swept it away, scattering the flood of books in all directions.

She held the ladder high, searching through the dense mountain of paper pages for Zheng Qiran's true identity.

But Zheng Qiran kept it very well hidden.

She buried her true self beneath books, exam papers, and notes, layer upon layer of disguise and construction. No matter how He Tao attacked, she could only elicit eerie laughter, never truly touching her.

"Do you need me?" Liu Sheng asked softly.

He Tao shook her head: "No, this is my war!"

“Sheng Sheng, you are smart and excellent, just like Zheng Qiran. But I want to tell her that excellence should not have only one definition.”

Suddenly, she remembered something.

The next second, he suddenly bent down, used a swimming motion to push aside the sea of ​​books, and rushed towards his seat.

There, familiar posters were still displayed.

In Zheng Qiran's view, He Tao would never give up these things.

It was these very things that made her the target of ridicule and mockery.

Tears silently streamed down He Tao's cheeks.

She raised her hand and ripped the beach poster off.

Then, facing the endless books, he fiercely tore the poster apart!

As these handsome faces and beautiful bodies were torn apart, a surge of scalding heat erupted, the air instantly boiling over, and the books rolled up, charred, and burned in the intense heat, crackling loudly.

The entire dormitory was instantly engulfed in flames.

Screams erupted from all directions.

He Tao heard Zheng Qiran's voice.

No longer cold, no longer mocking, but filled with pain.

This move destroyed Zheng Qiran's pride and joy, and also hurt him. The pages turned into ashes that flew everywhere, like black snowflakes.

At that moment, He Tao finally saw a small black leather booklet that was still burning in the fire.

She reached out to grab it, but the ashes turned into snowflakes that piled up to the extreme, like an avalanche, and with a loud bang, they swept He Tao up and carried her out of the dark dormitory.

Beyond that lies a deeper and colder dark void.

No!

She knew that once she was pushed out, she would be completely lost and would never be able to find herself again.

With a quick hook of the ladder in his hand, he caught Zheng Qiran's seat, then used the momentum to swing himself back from the edge of the avalanche.

With a thud, she collapsed heavily onto Zheng Qiran's desk, panting heavily.

But the avalanche continued unabated.

He Tao's eyes darted around, locking onto Zheng Qiran's empty bookshelf. The next moment, she shrank back and squeezed inside.

Behind the bookshelf was complete darkness.

The narrow tunnel only allowed people to crawl forward.

There was a glimmer of light ahead, guiding the way forward.

He Tao slowly crawled forward, her head spinning, the light points overlapping in her eyes, almost dissipating, but she still persevered.

Finally, the white light drew closer, and she crawled out of the cave.

Only then did they realize that they were in a small room, and the dim light illuminated three astonished faces.

It was her parents.

And there's Officer Yang Lingfeng.
