Chapter 830 - Chen Ge’s Choice (1/2)

“I’m not worried about your hunch but something else.” Chen Ge could not explain the exact situation to the students; he could only think about it on his own.

Why would Chang Wenyu’s presence linger around me? Is it because I’ve spent an extended period of time with her brother or because Chang Gu has left something of Chang Wenyu’s with me?

“There’s no need to panic. You’ll eventually recover your memory; I have faith in you.” Zhou Tu did not quite understand Chen Ge’s circumstances. “Don’t waste your energy in inconsequential places. What I’m going to tell you next is very important.

“Every student that enters the school will be given a choice. Each choice leads to different results. The standard of judgement is not with the painter but is based on the school’s own consciousness. The monster that has collected everyone’s despairing school is the real owner of this school; the painter is at most his spokesperson.

“What we need to do is get the school’s approval and follow through one of the choices to the very end before embracing the corresponding outcome with open arms.” Zhou Tu thought about it. “The painter’s choice is probably to escape from reality and create a home for all the lost souls behind the door; Chang Wenyu’s choice should be to find a way to escape from the school to return to the real world. We should follow the path left behind by Chang Wenyu, but the prerequisite is that we have to get the school’s approval.”

“How you do suggest we go about doing that?”

“Do not think of this school as a detached scenario. Think of it as a person, a person who was bullied and filled with despair.” When Zhou Tu said that, he lowered his voice to the minimum. He had a strange expression. With each word, his face darkened like saying that in the school would get him cursed. “To get the school’s approval, you have to elicit its resonance. The painter, for example, creates a home to console the loneliness inside the school’s consciousness and allow it a place to stay, or like Chang Wenyu, we can choose to escape.”

“I understand what you mean, but from how I see it, be it to escape or to build a fake home, neither will solve the problem.” Chen Ge had his own idea. “My decision might not be correct, but if I am bullied, I will use the most direct method to fight back.”

“What do you plan to do? Chang Wenyu and the painter have already provided us with two shortcuts. We only need to follow one of them.” Zhou Tu frowned slightly. He saw the fire burning in Chen Ge’s eyes, and that kind of fire was very rare in this eerie school.

“No one is willing to be bullied. As long as there’s a chance to fight back, they will grab it.” Chen Ge stood at the edge of the brush and looked at the large school compound. “The basic rule of this world is still survival of the fittest. The weak like to follow the strong or stick close to the strong, and the easiest way for the strong to showcase their strength is to control the weak and express their dominance over the weak. This is so juvenile and yet so realistic. Since we are now inside this school, we should follow its rules.”

“The rules?”

“It’s the bullied victims’ souls that make the consciousness of the school, so to get their approval, there is another way to go.” Chen Ge took a big step out of the brush. “That is to reinstate one’s spot in the cycle and bully back those who dare bully us.”
