Mr. Shaler, I like students' money the most.

According to Mr. Schaller,

The situation of the Abydos Countermeasures Committee in this world is slightly different from that in the second round.

The current Abydos Council still holds the majority of the land ownership in Abydos, but only a small portion of the land titles, which account for about 15% of the total land area of ​​Abydos, were seized by the Caesar Group through mortgage because the Abydos Council was insolvent.

But even if the current state of land ownership in Abydos is positive,

Under the crazy interest rate hike of Caesar Group, Abydos' final destination is only a dead end.

Because of the inability to repay the loan, the Abydos Countermeasures Committee will soon default on a large number of loans, and the land deeds of Abydos will be taken back by the Caesar Group. At that time, there will be more poor passers-by like the convenience store owner.

He was kicked out of his home and became a penniless wanderer.

Dozens of minutes later, Teacher Shaler stood in front of the dilapidated dormitory of the Abydos branch, looking at Qinxiang who had locked herself in the dormitory, and lowered his head in shame.

For a moment, Mr. Shaler didn't know how to persuade Serika to open her heart.

While Mr. Shaler was struggling, Nomiya ran over at lightning speed, holding her legs, panting heavily, completely unlike her usual ladylike demeanor.

After arriving in front of Mr. Shaler, Nomiya breathed heavily and said to Mr. Shaler,

"Teacher, something terrible has happened. The Caesar Group has started a large-scale operation. They are forcibly demolishing all the residents of the land titles they control in the name of real estate development. Currently, the number of homeless refugees in Abydos has increased sharply and has exceeded 1..."

Nomiya paused, considering whether to tell Mr. Shaler what happened next. But thinking that Mr. Shaler had the right to know the truth, Nomiya still plucked up the courage to continue.

"They even opened fire because some people refused to leave their houses. The injured are currently in the hospital. There have also been vicious incidents of people jumping off buildings and self-immolating because of the violent demolition."

Deportation?

After hearing what Nomiya said, Mr. Shaler finally understood the threat of the black suit.

For you, teacher, is it more important to sacrifice one of your students, or to let countless innocent people die in order to save one of your students?

The black suit's plan is simple.

Mr. Shaler, you are unwilling to sacrifice Hoshino,

How about sacrificing the happiness of other people in Abydos in exchange? Think about those poor souls who were forced out of their homes by the Caesar Group. Soon, because you can't pay off your loan, more real estate mortgages will be transferred to the name of the Caesar Group.

By then, there will be more residents of Abydos who will be homeless, disabled for resisting demolition, hang themselves because they can't live, or jump off buildings and set themselves on fire, all because you, teacher, are unwilling to take responsibility like an adult, sacrifice your own family for the sake of everyone, and prevent tragedy from happening.

Chapter 19: Burn the Boats (Part 4)

Thinking of this, and thinking of Heifu's evil plan, Mr. Shaler clenched his fists.

This is intolerable. If I don’t fight back, I will really become a loser!

Then, instead of knocking, Mr. Shaler forced his way into Serika's dormitory door.

"Qingxiang, open the door!"

Teacher Shaler shouted and hit the wooden door of Qinxiang's dormitory with his right shoulder. Then there was a bang, and the door of Qinxiang's room was knocked open and the bolt behind the door fell to the ground.

Then, because Mr. Shaler didn't have a good balance, he fell flat on his face into Serika's room.

After entering Qinxiang's dormitory,

The layout of Qinxiang's dormitory was very simple. There were only two beds in the whole room. The one on the left was very clean. The bed sheet was spotless. Every corner of the bed sheet had been carefully straightened without a single wrinkle.

On top of the spotless sheets was a square folded tofu-shaped quilt. It was obvious that the owner of this bed was extremely meticulous.

This is Qinxiang's bed.

The other bed on the other side of Qinxiang's bed was very messy, with wrinkles all over the sheets. On the sheets was a very large fish-shaped pillow, and the quilt on the bed was piled up randomly on the bed, like a small mountain. The owner of the bed had no habit of folding the quilt at all.

This bed is Hoshino’s bed.

After falling into the room, Teacher Shaler quickly stood up and patted the dust off his body. Then Teacher Shaler saw that he was curled up on the bed, with his legs together, his limbs curled up, and his head lowered.

Serika falls into deep self-blame and isolation.

Seeing Teacher Shaler rush into the room, Qinxiang, who was squatting in the room, did not react at all.

Qinxiang just stared at the wall in front of her with lifeless eyes. Her eyes were dark and she kept mumbling to herself with an empty expression. She didn't cry, nor did she have any emotional fluctuations. She looked completely broken.

Qin Xiang muttered to herself,

"Why, why can't I protect anything, Senior Hoshino? Everyone in Abydos, the citizens, are suffering, but I can't do anything! I can only watch everyone fall into hell step by step. I am a useless person!"

Looking at the completely broken and devastated Serika in front of him, who looked like a plastic doll run over by a car, Mr. Shaler reached out his hand distressedly and tried to touch Serika's head.

Before Mr. Shaler could touch Serika, Serika suddenly raised her head and looked at Mr. Shaler, and then said in a tone that was as indifferent to life and death as if she didn't care at all,

"It's useless, teacher. There's no need to resist. 7000 million federal coins, haha, we can't even afford it! Even if you sell me as a slave, I can't get that much money! Why are you so cruel? You want me to choose between Senior Hoshino and the people of Abydos who I swore to protect. There's no choice at all!!"

When Qinxiang spoke, her eyes were dim, just like the cyberpsychopath in 2077, and she had fallen into complete madness.

Hoshino is Serika's roommate and the senior whom Serika respects the most.

Every time Hoshino tried to sleep in, Serika would force him to wake up.

Although on the surface Serika always says, Hoshino-senpai, wow, you are so disgusting, just like a useless middle-aged uncle. Can you have some clarity and vitality that a girl should have, and don't make me criticize and preach to you all day long!

But in fact, the person Serika respects the most is Senior Hoshino.

It’s not for anything else, it’s just because every time there is a battle or danger, Senior Hoshino is always like an angry lioness, rushing to the front to protect everyone.

Qinxiang still remembers the demeanor of the senior clearly.

Therefore, Serika will never sacrifice Hoshino.

And the citizens of Abydos and everyone else, Serika will not give up.

Qin Xiang is from Abydos. Although Abydos has a high school, the place is run-down and the environment is poor. The urban area of ​​Abydos is also facing desertification.

The living environment here is terrible. Qinxiang has said more than once that it is such a shameful high school that it would be better to just let it go bankrupt.

But Qinxiang just couldn't give up Abydos, not for anything else, but because Abydos was where Qinxiang lived.

No matter how dilapidated the streets here are, they are the streets where Qinxiang lived and left many memories. No matter how severe the sandstorm disaster here is, it is also a natural disaster in her hometown!

Serika remembers everything in Abydos.

When I was lost, the elder sister of Abydos led me and helped me find the way home.

I didn't bring enough money to buy Taiyaki, so the old man at the Abydos Taiyaki shop gave me credit.

And everyone, Nomiya, Shirako, Ayane, and Hoshino.

You are all such good people, I absolutely cannot sacrifice Abydos for my own selfish desires.

Because the palms and backs of your hands are made of flesh, you will feel excruciating pain if you cut either side with a knife.

Qinxiang was confused. For the first time, Qinxiang felt the pain of being an adult.

That is, there is never a best of both worlds in the world. If you want to protect something, you have to pay the same price to sacrifice something equally precious.

Looking at the confused and helpless Serika, Teacher Shaler sighed and whispered in his heart,

Qinxiang, this child has too much to bear. From now on, please hand over all the pressure to me, your teacher, and let me help you.

Then Mr. Shaler opened his mouth and shouted to the confused Serika,

"Qingxiang, now is not the time to be a deserter. I need you to stand up and continue fighting. How can you raise your hands and surrender before we even start bayoneting the enemy?"

Teacher Shaler encouraged Qinxiang and said,

Giving up before the final victory or defeat is a cowardly act. Even if you die, you must die on the way to the charge.

But in the face of Mr. Shaler's encouragement, Qinxiang was completely uninterested and said with a slack look in her eyes,

"But there's no need to continue fighting. We, the Abydos Strategy Committee, have already lost and there's no hope of a comeback. Even if I take on more part-time jobs and work harder to make money, I can't make 7000 million in a week. This is beyond my limit."

However, in the face of Serika's reluctance, the next second, Mr. Shaler suddenly changed his sadness, like a big rooster with high morale, and suddenly said to Serika in a loud voice,

"Who said we lost, Qinxiang? I feel like the losers in this competition are Heifu and Caesar Group!"

Hearing Mr. Shaler say that it was not us who were at a disadvantage, but the enemy, Serika was stunned for a moment, and then she blurted out,

"Teacher, are you crazy like me? Are you okay?"

Serika began to worry about Mr. Shaler's mental state.

It is obvious that we have been forced into a desperate situation and the enemy has already secured victory. How can we possibly have any hope of turning the situation around? This is just a daydream!

In response to Serika's curiosity, Mr. Shaler pulled out a rectangular printing template wrapped in layers of picnic cloth.

It is about the size of a hundred-dollar bill and is very thin, just like the woodblock used in woodblock printing.

Then Mr. Schaller said mysteriously,

"As a teacher at Shaler, I still have certain authority to enter some special departments and steal things secretly. Although it may be a criminal act for a teacher to do so, and even if the teacher has the authority, it may not necessarily save the teacher's life afterwards, but I think it's worth a try."

Chapter 20: Confidence (Part 5)

Seeing Mr. Shaler take out the mysterious secret weapon to fight the enemy,

Serika looked at the mysterious printed version wrapped in layers of picnic cloth and began to guess.

"Teacher, what is this?"

Qin Xiang stared with eyes wide open, looking at the grinning teacher in front of her in bewilderment, totally confused.

What is the secret weapon in Mr. Shaler's hand? We have to repay 7000 million yuan. Is there any hope of turning the situation around?

There were big question marks in Qinxiang's cat-like eyes.

Seeing that Qinxiang didn't understand the power of the secret weapon at all, Mr. Shaler suddenly smiled cunningly like a bandit in those movies, and then Mr. Shaler untied the picnic blanket and said,

"7000 million federal coins. Although I can't make them for you, I still have a way to make 7000 million counterfeit bills."

As Mr. Shaler spoke, he unwrapped the picnic blanket, revealing a printing template with a face value of 1 federal dollars.

Apparently, Professor Schaller had just done something big by obtaining the money printing template of the Federal Central Bank, which has the right to issue currency.

"Banknote printing template? Teacher, you are committing a crime, give it back now!"

Seeing that Mr. Schaller had made a stunning success, and frightened the bad guys in the streets of Kivotos, Serika suddenly became nervous. Mr. Schaller had even taken out the Federal Central Bank's printing template.

After all, other bandits are just robbing people for money at most, but Teacher Shaler is trying to kill them!
