Chapter 003: Brother Ji is dead

After speaking, he directly pushed me away and walked outside

I stared blankly at Brother Chicken's back, my mind in a state of confusion

I could only faintly hear someone screaming, people pushing each other, and someone trying to maintain order. Then the teacher arrived, attempting to perform CPR on Brother Ji.

I realized that something was amiss, and quickly reached out to push it. With that push, I sensed that something was indeed wrong

I could faintly smell that familiar stench.

The most critical aspect is that the excrement being expelled continuously emits a strong foul odor

I suddenly realized where this familiar feeling came from

Moreover, there was not a hint of flexibility; when I pushed a little, I could feel that his body was quite rigid, and his muscles were stiff as well

And I recognized this person at a glance, Brother Ji!

Seeing the pale expression on Brother Ji's face, I always feel that something is not quite right with his health

I instinctively grabbed Brother Chicken

And wanting to know the truth of the matter, a person, is something I cannot avoid no matter what.

From the beginning until he collapsed, the amount of water and blood he expelled was greater than that of others, making it hard to imagine that a single person could expel so much water from their body

I maintained a serious expression and nudged Brother Ji awake. Noticing that I was staring at him, he seemed somewhat evasive in his gaze. I continued to look at him

Brother Ji nudged me

Lin Yao

As I pondered what I should do, I finished my grooming and walked towards the cafeteria downstairs, during which I had my meal in the cafeteria

I beg you not to involve me anymore, please do not drag me into this matter again

Who cares about you, whether you live or die!

Everyone formed a circle

What is wrong with you? Tell me the truth.

I stood frozen with the book, staring at the now motionless Chicken Brother, my mind a complete muddle

By the time I realized I needed to save him, Brother Ji had already collapsed. His face was ashen, and he lay on the ground, with foul-smelling blood continuously flowing from his mouth and nose.

The classmates in the classroom looked at me with a strange expression after seeing me enter

My mind was blank, and I stared at the scene in a daze, feeling somewhat at a loss.

The result is that Brother Ji is sleeping very soundly, as if he has fallen into a deep sleep.

At this moment, Brother Ji was staring at me intently. I noticed that his eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, and he spoke to me.

I have made up my mind that regardless of how Brother Ji feels or how unwilling he is for me to handle this matter, I will inform the teacher and let the teacher deal with it

In the midst of the crowd, I saw Brother Ji being lifted onto a stretcher and taken into the ambulance

During the three years of high school, our relationship was the best, and it could almost be said that we were like brothers. Yet, despite my concern for him, he actually looked at me with such a gaze.

I am well aware that the death of Brother Ji is certainly not so simple, and there must be deeper reasons involved.

Upon witnessing this scene, those around began to retreat, fearing they might be implicated, while some girls timidly tucked their heads in.

Brother Ji's voice was somewhat impatient

Brother Ji, what is wrong with you? If you have health issues, you should see a doctor

I realize that Brother Ji must be closely related to that Lin Yao's escape

Soon, no water came out; instead, it was replaced by blood, emitting a foul odor of blood

I then looked at Brother Chicken, my expression becoming somewhat serious.

Brother Ji forced himself to get up from the bed, shaking his head.

At times, I find it completely difficult to understand what I can actually do, but soon, a name emerged in my mind

That is the smell of a corpse

I instinctively glanced at Brother Ji; despite the commotion in the dormitory, he surprisingly remained asleep.

If this continues, Brother Chicken will die

The bedding of a normal person is warm, but the bedding of that guy, Chicken Brother, is cold as ice

If you don't want to die, then don't concern yourself with me. Remember, absolutely do not interfere in my matters

Do not meddle in my affairs

At this moment, he was still continuously spitting out water from his mouth, and this water was mixed with some aquatic plants.

Brother Ji looked at me in shock, but he quickly covered his head and shouted

Although I do not know why he died such a tragic death, I have a vague feeling in my heart that I clearly could have done something, yet I did nothing at all

"Is it Lin Yao? It must be her. Take out a mirror and have a look; you are no different from a dead person now!"

Around 1 o'clock, Brother Ji climbed back to the dormitory and lay down on his bed, snoring soundly

Not only is his bed cold and icy, but his body is also cold and icy

I gritted my teeth, feeling that I should do something. I realized that Brother Ji was acting strangely, very strangely.

I noticed that he emanated a foul odor, a smell that was familiar to me

Mind your own business; can you please stop interfering in my matters from now on

A person is kneeling on the ground, continuously vomiting, and in front of him lies a large pool of vomit

No matter how I call him, he does not respond

As the ambulance departed, I finally regained my senses along with the books and came to realize a very serious matter

I went out to take care of some matters and didn't have time to request leave, so missing one day of class shouldn't result in any disciplinary action against me

After all, on ordinary days, Chicken Brother and I are inseparable. Although we are not biological brothers, our relationship is akin to that of true brothers

Although I am now an adult, I still feel like a child inside, and when something goes wrong, my instinct is to seek reliance on so-called adults

I turned around out of curiosity to take a look at him. In the moonlight, his face had a sickly pallor, and his lips were devoid of any color.

Deceased

I furrowed my brow and inquired with some confusion

However, I simply have no time to pay attention to them; all that occupies my mind are matters concerning Brother Ji.

At that moment, a sudden exclamation arose from outside

At that moment, Brother Chicken also saw me among the crowd, and he looked in my direction

Remember what I said

My best friend

Until I went to bed at night, I kept a watchful eye in my heart. Around midnight, Chicken Brother indeed got up and, just like yesterday, slipped out of the school through the window

However, I can vaguely ascertain one thing, which is that if I had gone to hold Lin Yao's fingers that day like Brother Ji, I would now be in the same situation as Brother Ji

Do not concern yourself, do not concern yourself

Seeing Brother Ji looking so neurotic, I felt a bit scared myself; I had no idea what had happened to him.

I feel as if I am a wooden figure, with no thoughts in my mind

The next day, I was awakened by the shouts of my other roommates. As I groggily opened my eyes, I heard someone cursing about the foul smell in the dormitory.

I am fine

It continued like this until the evening study session ended. When I returned to the dormitory, I found that Brother Ji had actually come back and was sleeping snugly in his blanket.

When my grandfather passed away, his body was placed in the mourning hall, and there was a very strange odor lingering in the hall at that time

Yet he seemed to be completely unfazed, lying on the bed in a daze

For a moment, I felt quite uneasy in my heart

I felt quite uneasy and thought that continuing like this would not be feasible. After some contemplation, I decided to have an open and honest discussion with Brother Ji the next day.

I instinctively clenched my fist, feeling that I could not continue to be so despondent; I must do something for Brother Ji.

But I do not know what I should do

I furrowed my brows; the changes in Brother Ji began after his date with Lin Yao last night

He kept opening his mouth, but all that came out were haunting cries, each carrying a tone

Saying this, I returned to my own bed

In a daze, I returned to the classroom. Due to an incident involving Brother Ji, this class was changed to self-study.

The other few individuals left grumbling and complaining

I pushed through the crowd and finally saw the content that had caused the commotion

Perhaps it was my attitude that influenced Brother Ji, as his bloodshot eyes were fixed intently on me

I could only watch helplessly as Brother Chicken died before my eyes

I sniffed and indeed caught a faint odor, which was quite familiar to me

You must be in trouble, come on, let's go to the hospital

What exactly happened? Tell me!

If I die, please remember to take that thing I left on the bedside table out of the school and burn it, absolutely do not look at it

As for me, I was reminded of a saying by the pitchy cries of Brother Chicken.

Accompanied by screams, more water gushed from his mouth, and even water sprayed out from his nose.

Where have you been during the day? What time is it now? You actually skipped class; aren't you afraid of being penalized

Thus, I cautiously inquired.

Furthermore, do not concern yourself with future matters any longer

I do not know why Brother Ji would say these words to me, but I have a feeling.

As he spoke, he struggled to get up from the bed

Now that Brother Ji has encountered such an incident, they will naturally be curious about my reaction

Brother Ji shook his head vigorously, murmuring to himself.

I noticed that his tone was somewhat off; how should I put it, the way he looked at me contained a hint of hostility.

Then more and more people were shouting there, and many girls' screams could also be heard from outside

I stood frozen in place, my mind a blank slate, as everything around me seemed to lose its color, and even the passage of time appeared to slow down significantly

I quickly stood up and ran towards the outside of the cafeteria, only to find that it was already densely packed with people.

I suddenly remembered, isn't this the stinky water by the shore from that day

However, even though we had a quarrel, I still care about Brother Ji's situation and occasionally glance over at him.

Brother Ji has passed away

With a gentle push from me, Brother Chicken slowly regained consciousness, opening his lifeless eyes to look at me, his voice somewhat hoarse

At the very least, he should be taken to the hospital for an examination

What happened

I pressed firmly on his arm, my eyes filled with concern

I felt an overwhelming anger upon seeing him and called out to him.
