Chapter 48: The Notebook of Secrets that Will Destroy Your Life! (1/2)
”Yes...” Calvin nodded his head.
”Then, can you tell me a secret?” For the first time ever, Kevin revealed a smile.
”If you're really my friend. Can you tell me a secret that will ruin your life if it came out?”
Calvin was shocked.
”A secret that can ruin my life if it came out?” He softly uttered.
”Yes... As friends, it is normal for us to share secrets, right?”
Calvin pondered for a moment before probingly asking, ”That makes sense, but how can you ensure the legitimacy of the secret? What if I was just lying to you?”
Kevin paused. It was obvious that he didn't expect this answer at all.
He grew agitated once more and started trembling like a sieve. Just as Calvin was about to speak to try and calm him down, he spoke up and said, ”I can confirm it...”
”You will not be able to lie to me.”
”Don't bother lying.”
”I can expose it.”
”Oh? You can?” Calvin raised an eyebrow, seemingly suspicious of Kevin's claims.
Kevin was just a kid despite his harrowing experiences. Feeling insulted by Calvin's words, he took out a small notebook from out of nowhere and said, ”This notebook will tell me! As long as I write the secrets in this notebook. It will tell me if the secret is a lie or not!”
”What? You don't believe me?”
”Then, we are not friends!”
Kevin saw the look of shock on Calvin's face and he thought for sure that Calvin didn't believe what he was saying.
Frustrated, he threatened Calvin that he didn't want to be friends with him anymore. But he instantly regretted that decision. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he trembled and stared cautiously at Calvin. He didn't say anything, but his eyes informed Calvin of what he needed to know.
”Hahaha...”
Calvin let out a boisterous laugh.
He was incredibly excited for the notebook that Kevin had in his hands was the Notebook of Secrets That Will Destroy Your Life! In other words, his earlier theory has now been confirmed. This world was indeed created by the Notebook of Secrets That Will Destroy Your Life!
This world, seemingly full of negative emotions and bullies wasn't actually a real world.
This was a world spun for some reason by that Notebook. In other words, since the Notebook owned this world. The only way that he could get out of this world was to acquire the approval of the notebook. Without the approval of the notebook, there was no way that he could get out of this place.
The notebook was a figure similar to a god in this school.
Why was it in the hands of a kid like Kevin?
Calvin inwardly uttered.
But he maintained a facade of doubt on the outside and asked, ”Really? A notebook can tell me If am lying or not?”
Kevin saw that Calvin was so suspicious.
Annoyed, he angrily threw the notebook at Calvin and said, ”You don't believe me? Then, try it yourself! Hmmph!”
