Chapter 178 A Campus Full of Ashes

August 8th was the fourth day of school for Mu Zhengguang and Xu Yingze, and the twenty-fifth day of school for Zhang Hengji.

The third year of high school in this school always starts early. The teacher's excuse is that the summer vacation for the third year of high school is very long, and after the exams are over, there is plenty of time to play, so the summer vacation for the second year of high school is particularly short, only one week.

That morning, a column of fire dozens of meters high rose into the sky, and thick black smoke once covered the sky.

When Zhao Yuxi heard about this, she used the element dissolution technique to leave the high-speed train, rushed to the next stop at a faster speed, and took another high-speed train to Guyuan City.

"Have you investigated the situation here? Tell me the number of casualties." A mass killing incident occurred within the jurisdiction, which was a serious dereliction of duty. Zhao Yuxi rushed here not because she was afraid of being punished by the institute. When this happened, the person who really controlled the city was not her, but a temporary branch director. She came here with excitement, but for another purpose.

"One thousand seven hundred people." Zhu Qikang, the director of the temporary branch of Guyuan City, was in the city. After this incident, he realized that he was about to be demoted. Whether he would be demoted to stationmaster or stationmaster assistant would depend on how he dealt with the incident. Therefore, he arrived at the scene as soon as possible and asked someone to investigate the matter, and came to some obvious conclusions.

"It all turned to ashes and floated away, right? I saw that there is a difference between human ashes and ashes of other objects. Who set the fire? Have you found out?"

"We haven't found them yet, but we already have a scope. All the contestants in the school who have entered the semi-finals are our targets for investigation, especially those who have won more than ten consecutive games."

Being able to burn down the campus and burn people to ashes in a very short time is obviously the result of asymptotes.

Zhao Yuxi speculated that the person who did this was unlikely to be an ancient or medieval person, because most of the ancient and medieval people of this age group hold important positions in research institutes and academies. If they have any opinions about the school, they only need to tell the principal and don't have to be so radical. So, would the person who did this be a recent ancient person? Very likely. By August this year, all recent ancient people had reached the second level, and some modern people had also reached the second level. Both types of people have the ability to burn down the campus and have the ability to enter the semi-finals. It is very correct to check among the semi-finalists.

"You even know how to screen the contestants. That's good. How long has this school been in operation?"

Zhu Qikang stammered, "It seems...it seems like there is no holiday."

"No holiday? No summer vacation?"

"It seems so. I'll have someone check it out."

"No need to investigate. The people have been burned to ashes and are on vacation forever. You hand over the work to your subordinates, and I will hand over the work to you. You have made such a big mistake, you must not be the director of the branch or the assistant to the director of the branch. If you can find the culprit before I have lunch, I will allow you to be a stationmaster in the city. If you can't find it, you can be the assistant to the stationmaster. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand."

Zhao Yuxi walked around in the ashes. Only the third year of high school had started school, and the first and second year students had not started school. However, all the teaching buildings were burned down, and the playground, basketball court, flower beds, pools, and fountains were not spared. This shows that the arsonist must hate this school.

However, hating school and hating classmates are two different things, and hating classmates and hating all classmates are two different things. If we can find survivors, it will be easy to identify the arsonist. Unfortunately, the victims were burned to ashes, and we can't use the process of elimination to find survivors.

Zhao Yuxi couldn't figure out much for a while, but she didn't plan to look at it anymore. Finding out the truth was the subordinates' job, not hers. She only had one thing to do, which was to hand over the work.

Near noon, someone knocked on the office door.

Zhu Qikang was overjoyed. It seemed that he would not be demoted three levels this time, but only two levels. In addition to being surprised, he could not help but think that being the temporary dean of the branch was really a thankless job. He would be held responsible if something went wrong. If he had known earlier, he would have become the assistant dean of the branch earlier. In that case, even if something went wrong, the dean would be dismissed and the assistant position would remain unchanged.

Zhao Yuxi asked: "Have you found the arsonist? Where is he? Is he still alive? If he is alive, bring him to me."

"Dean, the identity of the arsonist has been found. It's Zhang Hengji, a senior student who won eleven consecutive victories in the second modeling competition. He has not yet been arrested."

"His identity has been confirmed, but has his location been determined? If it has been confirmed, Zhu Qikang, you can capture him and redeem yourself. You are a Medieval, so you should not fail to capture a man who has won eleven consecutive victories, right?"

"No. I will definitely live up to my mission."

"After you catch him, send him to school. I'll wait for you there."

Zhu Qikang went to catch the arsonist, and Zhao Yuxi returned to school.

The place was filled with smoke and devastation.

A trace of sadness flashed through her heart, but on second thought, she felt that this matter could be profitable.

It is rare to see a school without summer vacation. In this era guided by asymptotes, is there any meaning in studying hard? If there is, what is the meaning? Can studying a little longer change your fate? Can studying a little longer change the asymptotes and asymptotic rates? Why do people always work hard on something insignificant? If they don't do this, won't they lose their lives for it?

Let’s take this school as an example. From now on, there will be no more schools like this within my jurisdiction, and there will never be any more tragedies like this.

Zhu Qikang brought the arsonist here.

Zhao Yuxi gave him a new task: "You leave first. I will take care of this person. You can be the stationmaster without any worries. Choose your work location and sort out the other materials for the handover. We will continue in the afternoon. Don't look for me again at noon."

The huge campus was filled with gray smoke.

The two stood in the smoke and dust, silent.

"Did you set the fire in the school?"

"Yes."

"Are there any survivors?"

"Have."

“Where are the survivors?”

"He was taken away by that person just now."

"What is your relationship with the survivors? Is there anyone you like among them?"

"No."

"That's it. Do you want to see her again?"

"Do not want to."

"You burned so many people to ashes. Do you know what kind of punishment you will face?"

"death penalty?"

"It's not as easy as you think. You should experience it first."

Enter the notes and feel the manipulation.

The wailing and crying of thousands of people, their despair and hatred, all gathered together and were released.

At that moment, Zhang Hengji almost thought he was dead.

However, a moment later, he woke up from "death".

He fell into death again and woke up again.

"You've lied to me twice. Tell me your asymptote and your rate, tell me the name of the person you like, and marry her. As long as you don't betray her, don't betray your marriage, don't betray me, and don't cheat on me, your mistakes will be forgiven. It's up to you to choose whether to accept punishment or to start a new life."

"Why are you helping me?"

"No reason. If it were me, I would also feel annoyed after spending too much time at school. If someone has nothing to do with you dies, then so be it. But the person you love should not be harmed. Your death is a small matter. You were prepared for this before you did it. But you definitely don't want to see the person you love suffer the same pain as you. Do you understand why I want to help you now?"
