Chapter 232 The World After Disappearance (1)

The disappearance of a middle school boy in xx town——

In the early morning of x month x day, 20xx, the then fourteen-year-old boy disappeared from his home.

The boy's room was not turned upside down, and the missing items were not found. There was no sign of him running away from home. He suddenly disappeared from the place where he was, said Mr. A, an expert.

As an important reference person, the police asked the teenager's parents about the situation and reasons at the time.

The boy's mother was so emotional that she even shouted that she wished she could kill her son that night. After being stopped by the police, the mother is now receiving treatment in a mental hospital in the city.

According to his father, the boy was originally an orphan adopted from an institution. His father felt uncomfortable because he felt that his son was more loved by animals than others, and he looked down on him. Now he regrets it very much, his father cried.

About two years had passed since then, and the boy still hadn't been found, not even a trace of him could be found.

Soon after, the police officially announced the end of the search. Later, although the father always believed that his son was still alive, he died of an incurable disease. At the same time, the mother was also confirmed dead in the ward.

Some experts expressed concern about the many unexplainable aspects of this incident.

In fact, there were several similar cases decades ago, and some people believe that this disappearance may be a recurrence of those events. Since the missing persons in all these cases have not been found, there are some speculations about the disappearance of the spirit, which was put forward by Mr. Y, an expert in occultism.

Of course, some people deny this statement, believing that it is more likely that the kidnapping or disappearance was disguised as a disappearance, which is quite likely.

Others speculated that this was not a disappearance at all, but a murder.

They believe that the teenager's mother's screams are a clue to this view, because she was emotional at the time and her words might have been genuine and not fabricated.

In other words, the boy was not missing, but was killed by his parents. Then, through some concealment method, his parents announced to the outside world that he suddenly disappeared from home.

However, the possibility of this theory is probably very low, analyzed Mr. S, a distinguished professor at National K University.

If it was indeed murder, the evidence was so scant that it was hard to imagine an amateur being able to conceal it so well that even the professional police who were searching for it could not detect it.

In fact, the police searched the house shortly after the boy disappeared, but found no trace of him, no signs of foul play, and no evidence of foul play. Neighborhood investigations were also completely ineffective.

Being said to have disappeared suddenly makes it easier for people to believe it.

Regardless, this incident is just one of many unsolved cases, but it has attracted the interest of many people. As the investigation deepens, we hope to find more information.

——Excerpt from a feature article in a weekly magazine.

----------

(I remembered a nostalgic name again.)

Walking on the road leading to high school, Tian Ying sighed in his heart.

He finished dressing early and casually opened the weekly magazine on the sofa in the living room when he saw the name of a classmate from middle school.

He asked his mother not to throw away the weekly magazine, and then left home with his schoolbag. For some reason, the content of the article lingered in his mind, and even became more concerned.

(Xu Zhen disappeared for two years... I actually completely forgot about it.)

Tian Ying couldn't help but smile at himself. Although he had intended to care about her from afar, she had disappeared from his memory without him noticing.

Maybe it was because he was busy adapting to the college entrance examination and the new environment - this was just a boring excuse. In fact, he and Xu Zhen did not have a good relationship, and it could even be said that they had almost no communication.

He had always thought Xu Zhen was a strange person, but he had never intended to have a deep relationship with her. When he learned of Xu Zhen's disappearance, he was shocked, but he did not feel any particular regret.

After all, to him, Xu Zhen was just a stranger.

Tian Ying re-examined his thoughts and recalled Xu Zhen's situation.

(I remember when I was in the third grade, I transferred to that class and he was there. From then on, we were classmates until middle school.)

Xu Zhen does not try to get along well with his classmates and always hangs out with cats and other animals.

His excessive affection for animals made him the target of ridicule by his classmates, and sometimes he was even bullied. But Xu Zhen always kept a straight face, didn't care about the reactions of people around him, and never gave up communicating with animals.

The head teacher at the time also tried to solve the problem, but ultimately failed. In response, even classmates, parents and even other parents criticized Xu Zhen, thinking that such a enthusiastic teacher was rare and looked at him with disdain.

However, Tian Ying realized that the teacher was only concerned about maintaining his own face as a teacher. He believed that this was the case in elementary school and in middle school as well.

When Xu Zhen disappeared, the teacher once reprimanded the students who had made fun of him. But the teacher did say something like this: "Even if it's a joke, don't say bad things about someone who is no longer here!" It was as if he was already dead.

After those students left, Tian Ying accidentally heard the teacher muttering: "Thinking about such a troublesome guy, there is nothing else to do except wasting time..."

This is too much. If only I hadn't heard it, Tian Ying thought.

However, he had no right to complain. He did nothing. He just watched from afar and decided to keep his distance from others.

Now two years had passed, and it was not until he read that weekly magazine that he had completely forgotten about his affairs.

After all, perhaps he was no different from his classmates and teachers, Tian Ying sighed and looked up at the bright blue sky.

--------------

“Hey, hey, Tian Ying. After school, shall we go somewhere to play together?”

“Oh, sorry. I have somewhere to be.”

After school, Tian Ying was invited by a group of girls and naturally refused. But the girls were not shocked. Instead, they laughed at Tian Ying as if they already knew.

“Are you still going today?”

“Yes. Any questions?”

Tian Ying asked back without changing her expression. In response, the girls -

"Nothing, is it? I just thought you really liked kids."

They were obviously laughing at him. Then the other two girls standing behind her also laughed and talked.

"Just ignore him. Tian Ying must be thinking about the children all day long."

"Yes, yes."

After they finished talking, they left Tian Ying and left the classroom. A boy who was watching from a distance sighed and walked over: "Don't mind Tian Ying. Let those guys go."

"Zhao Hang..." Tian Ying looked at the friend who spoke to him. The boy called Zhao Hang looked in the direction where the girls walked away.

“It’s like this every time. It’s so annoying. It’s easy to be led into bad thoughts.”

"Who knows. They might find it more interesting that way." Tian Ying shrugged and put his schoolbag on his shoulders.

"Anyway, thank you, Zhao Hang. See you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Then Tian Ying left the classroom, quickly changed her shoes and walked out of the school gate. While listening to the shouts of the sports team members coming from afar, Tian Ying thought.

(That guy... is Xu Zhen like this too?)

He was always teased for being so close to animals, but Xu Zhen remained calm and true to himself.

Looking back now, maybe he was an amazing guy. Just like Tian Ying today, he is sometimes teased because he often goes to orphanages and kindergartens to play after school.

Compared with Xu Zhen, this is relatively rare. Tian Ying thought that this might be because high school students sometimes visit nurseries and kindergartens to work.

The actual situation is not clear, but in any case, not caring about it is the best conclusion, Tian Ying thought to himself.

"Have you heard? The daughter of that family seems to have run away from home?"

"Oh, really? Is that so? It seems like the relationship between them is not good."

"Actually, I heard it. He was yelling even though he wasn't my biological child."

"Really... this is too much. I wonder why they adopted him back home?"

Hearing a conversation between housewives at the door of a certain family, Tian Ying felt a little uncomfortable.

(Come to think of it, when Xu Zhen’s parents were arrested two years ago, it seemed like the same atmosphere.)

In less than half a year, Xu Zhen's disappearance was forgotten. People's attention turned to his parents.
