I, enter the zero world, change the ending

At twelve o'clock noon, in front of the main gate of a university, Zhiyao pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on the teaching building inside.

He used the school address on his student ID card to find this place. There was the class information of a heartless girl on it, so he decided to take the initiative to visit her.

The reason for coming here is:

First, the girl was the only person he had ever had any contact with in this world, and he wanted to talk to someone; second, the girl was a person who could not exist in the real world and whom he once claimed to be his wife. He instinctively wanted to get close to her, and even had a slight liking for her. Of course, the liking here did not include the desire to date and then get married.

As for the dislike caused by Hinasaki Fukaba, you can't arbitrarily blame others for something that hasn't happened yet.

I wonder if people from the society will be stopped by the security guards when entering the school?

With a nervous heart, Zhiyao took a step forward, gradually crossed the school gate, and luckily was not stopped.

Great.

The corners of his mouth immediately curled up, and Zhiyao quickened his pace towards the teaching building.

Following the house number, Zhiyao walked through the first and second floors and soon arrived at the third floor. He walked forward a little further and finally, the girl's class was in sight.

It’s better not to rush in for now and just take a sneak peek at what that girl is doing.

He walked slowly towards the gate along the wall. Just as he was about to stick his head out, three people came out and bumped into Zhiyao. Perhaps no one had expected to meet them here. Both sides were a little confused and at a loss for a while.

The people who came were none other than the three men who bullied Shenhong in the alley yesterday. Two of them still had bruises on their faces from being hit by bricks.

Oh my god, how did I meet these guys!

Zhiyao secretly thought that something was wrong and subconsciously clenched his fists. This was someone else's territory. If a lot of people came out after shouting, he would die here today. But he also knew that the more times like this, the more he should keep calm and not show weakness under any circumstances, otherwise he would be really finished.

Taking a deep breath, Zhiyao straightened her back and stared at the three of them. Over time, the gazes gradually turned into staring.

Facts proved that his worries were completely unnecessary. Students like these who only knew how to gang up on weak individuals were actually very cowardly. After being taught a lesson yesterday, they lost the courage to fight back when they met again today. At first, they were still trying to maintain eye contact, but after a while, they turned their eyes away, pretending that they saw nothing and passed by.

As the trouble went away, Zhiyao's attention returned to the classroom. The next moment, he finally saw the girl sitting in the corner near the window.

Unlike other students in the class who gathered in small groups of two or three, the girl had no one around her. She kept her head down, and no one knew what she was looking at.

Just as the setting said, he was excluded by everyone.

Shaking his head helplessly and smiling bitterly, Zhiyao stepped into the classroom and walked towards Shenhong without any distractions. Since he was a person from another school and was not wearing a school uniform, he attracted curious gazes from the people around him after just a few steps. As he got closer and closer to the girl, more and more glances were cast at him, and finally he became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Hey!"

He rested his hands on the table, looking down at the deep red.

Crimson raised her head reflexively, a look of surprise flashing across her face.

This person seems to be... the man from yesterday?

How did he get here?

Curiosity spread wildly in my heart, and gradually, my deep red eyes were filled with exploration.

She moved her lips, but hesitated to speak.

"Do you still remember me, hehe." Zhiyao rubbed his nose and laughed heartily.

Crimson nodded.

"It's good that I remember it. I just happened to pass by this school and happened to remember the class on my student ID card, so I stopped by to take a look."

As soon as these words were spoken, the students around began to whisper, curious about the relationship between the two.

After two consecutive sentences without any verbal response, Zhiyao had to say that she felt a little frustrated.

After thinking for a while, she casually asked:

"Are you... okay today?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he knew it was nonsense, because at this distance, he saw the lacerations on the deep red mouth, which was most likely caused by someone hitting him.

He narrowed his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a torch, and fixed his sight on the wound at the corner of Shenhong's mouth. Shenhong noticed this and licked it with his tongue unconsciously, then took out the lunch box from the desk, stood up and walked outside.

Zhiyao followed decisively, and soon followed Shenhong to the top floor of the teaching building. Finally, she saw Shenhong walk to a secluded corner and slowly sit down against the wall behind him.

Ignoring the man who followed her all the way to the top floor, Shenhong opened the lunch box, took out chopsticks and started eating. The lunch box contained last night's leftovers.

Although Manfuyu is not here these days, she will still prepare Manfuyu's meal to ensure that she can have a hot meal when she comes back. If she doesn't come back all night, she will put the meal in the refrigerator, heat it up the next morning, and take it to school as her own lunch.

Zhiyao, who had not eaten a single grain of rice for the entire day, looked at the food in the lunch box and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

He couldn't leave, he had to wait for Crimson to finish her meal, and he still wanted to talk to her.

I thought Shenhong would just eat in silence, but halfway through the meal, Shenhong suddenly stopped and looked over.

"What do you want from me?"

"Ah I……"

Actually, I came here specially to see you. Zhiyao was a little unsure whether to answer like this.

"Just tell me if you have something to say." As soon as he finished speaking, Shenhong started eating again with his head down.

Zhiyao looked up and changed the subject, "What's with the wound at the corner of your mouth?"

Shenhong paused, remained silent, and started eating again after a few seconds.

"Did they hit you? You know who I mean." In fact, this kind of thing can be guessed. Zhiyao just wanted to hear Shenhong admit it herself. "Did they suffer a loss at my hands yesterday, and they took it out on you?!"

"It doesn't matter whether it is or not."

"So I can understand that as it is?"

Shenhong stared at him silently, then turned her eyes away casually.

In an instant, a nameless anger surged into Zhiyao's heart, causing him to have a vague urge to hit someone.

"Hey, I have a bad temper!" He said, preparing to walk towards the exit. He really wanted to beat up those guys.

Although they were playing away, he found out from the confrontation just now that the three of them were actually cowards, so he was very confident.

"Come back." Shen Hong called him in a neutral tone, "Don't cause trouble."

"How can I say I'm causing trouble? I'm just helping you get justice!" Zhiyao defended, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone.

"You don't need to meddle in other people's business." Shen Hong said coldly, "Besides, you are just an outsider."

“How come you see?”

"Because I'm already a third-year student." Picking up a piece of salmon, Shenhong silently counted the lines on it. "I've seen all the male students in my grade before, but you're the only one I don't know."

"Then I am a junior."

"You look older than me, don't you."

"I'm a perpetually retarded repeater."

Shenhong was stunned for a moment, and an intriguing humming sound came out of his nose.

In just this short conversation, she had already said more than she had in the entire morning.

"Let's put it this way. When we meet outside of school one day, I will definitely help you fight back." Looking in the direction of Shenhong's class based on his impression, Zhiyao clenched his fists with confidence.

"No need. I'll graduate in less than a year anyway, and I can stay away from those people from now on."

"So what about the time in between?"

"Just bear with it and it will pass. It's not the first time anyway. Just give them the money obediently."

Listening to Shenhong's indifferent tone, Zhiyao began to become impatient. It was bad enough that he was weak and alone, but why did he act like a masochist when someone offered to help him?

"The more you submit, the more aggressive they will become!" Zhiyao was so anxious that she was about to get angry, and she patiently advised.

"But what does this have to do with you?" Shenhong asked silently, and Zhiyao was speechless in an instant.

Yes, we are not relatives or friends, so if you insist, there is no relationship between us.

Should I tell her that I once called you my wife, and because of this relationship I can't just stand by and watch?

It seems inappropriate. If this happens, you will definitely be regarded as a pervert with bad intentions, and your favorability will drop to the level of the Mariana Trench.

"You are my friend." After thinking for a while, Zhiyao gave a reason that he thought was reasonable.

Unexpectedly, Crimson replied coldly, "We are not."

The rejection was so ruthless that Zhiyao was completely at a loss.

Then, Crimson continued, "You helped me yesterday, and I'm very grateful, but please don't come to me again in the future."

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and even the bright sunshine could not drive away the haze lingering around.

"Why?" Zhiyao gritted her teeth, feeling unwilling.

"No reason." Shenhong had just finished speaking when something suddenly appeared at the edge of her vision in the distance. She subconsciously turned her eyes to look over there, and her eyelids trembled involuntarily.

Being so close, Zhiyao caught this detail and followed Shenhong's gaze.

There is nothing there.

"What's wrong?" Zhiyao asked in confusion.

"Nothing." Shenhong's gaze returned to the front and he described it lightly.

According to legend, several years ago, a sophomore girl in this school was so depressed by a broken heart that she jumped off the roof of the school building and committed suicide. The place where she jumped was exactly where the abnormality had just occurred. Zhiyao didn't see anything, but Shenhong saw a girl in school uniform jumping over the railing and jumping down.

"Really? But you clearly..."

"You're just being overly suspicious."

Shenhong's answer was so convincing that it was impossible not to be convinced.

But for some reason, an indescribable intuition told Zhiyao that Shenhong was hiding something.

Humans are creatures that are easily curious about unknown things. The more they cannot get what they want, the more they want to get to the bottom of it. Since they felt there was something wrong anyway, Zhiyao simply followed Shenhong's gaze and walked over there, sticking his head out to look down.

The next moment, Shenhong's eyes widened in horror.

She saw the ghost of the female student staring at the man next to her, her face almost close enough to kiss him.

It was at this moment that Zhiyao suddenly remembered something that she had known for a long time but had never taken to heart - Shenhong could see things that did not exist.

He walked towards Shenhong and found that Shenhong's eyes were slightly different from before. As he got closer, his eyebrows began to frown slightly.

At that moment, an inexplicable chill penetrated into the boy's spine, as if several ice needles were piercing him. Coincidentally, the moving clouds blocked the sun, and the boy inexplicably felt that the temperature around him was dropping.

"Well, well... could it be..." Zhiyao asked stutteringly, feeling terrified when she thought about it.

The ghost of the female student was still following the boy. Especially when he saw those empty eyes looking at him, Shenhong quickly packed up the lunch box.

"I'm full, let's go." She tried her best to remain calm and urged calmly.

Fortunately, the undead did not follow after leaving the rooftop. After confirming again and again, Shenhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Classroom door.

"I still have classes in the afternoon. I'll go in and rest first. You should go and have dinner soon." With her face half turned away, Shenhong urged the boy lightly.

Before leaving, I kindly remind you, "Don't come to see me again in the future."

————To avoid being haunted by the undead like just now.

"Oh, okay." Zhiyao nodded.

As for whether it will come in the future, of course it will.

After saying goodbye to each other, Shenhong continued to walk inside. The next second, a hand fell on her shoulder, and the scene in front of her eyes suddenly changed.

In the forest, which was so dark that you could hardly see your hand in front of you, someone was running at full speed; the scene changed, and before him was a blazing bonfire, and next to it was a man in white clothes; the scene changed again, and the face of the man in white appeared, it was his brother.

As if his body was touched by electric current, Shenhong was suddenly startled and his consciousness returned to the real world.

She turned around reflexively and saw Zhiyao's hand on her shoulder.

What I just saw was this person’s experience?

This person... has met my brother?

He did not rush to slap the man's hand away, and there was a bit of surprise and inquiry in his deep red eyes.

"Wait a minute, I... want to make a deal. Can you... lend me 200 yen? I don't have a penny on me. At least let me buy a loaf of bread... or something..."

A penny can make a hero fall, and Zhiyao is not a hero. At this moment, he was embarrassed and ashamed, and his tone was timid.

"I will definitely pay it back, including the 700 I paid before. That way, at most I can add another 100 as interest."
