Fortunately, Xia Li once again demonstrated his strong "social skills," successfully appeasing Mensa and gaining their trust.

Without further ado, Fan Xiao asked directly, "Professor Mensa, do you remember An Jing? She was once your student."

"Quiet……"

Mensa was lost in his memories, and his originally kind face gradually darkened.

This hostility was not directed at Fan Xiao and his group.

Thanks to Shirley's excellent ability to comfort people, Mensa, with complete trust, began to recount the past events in detail: "Quiet, she's a good girl, not like what was reported in the news in the past..."

With a tone tinged with nostalgia and mourning, the hidden truth of history was revealed to Fan Xiao and others.

About 10 years ago, when Anjing was 14 years old and still a junior high school student, a bullying incident occurred at the prestigious private school she attended.

A girl who transferred to the school based on her excellent grades was very popular among the boys because she was so beautiful and academically excellent. As a result, the most handsome boy in the next class fell in love with her and secretly sent her a love letter.

Although the girl secretly went to the appointment and rejected the confession, she was still seen by someone, and the story spread to the ears of the boy who admired her.

This admirer happened to be in the same class as the girl. Having never suffered any grievances since childhood due to her noble status, she made no attempt to conceal the malice she felt out of jealousy and led the bullying of the girl.

The urban system of Volcano County leans towards capitalism—simply put, money talks.

As the daughter of a tycoon, the admirer acts with an unbridled style. Coupled with her teenage years, she is highly emotional and can be far more terrifying than an adult when she gets ruthless.

The girl who transferred to the school suddenly found herself in a miserable situation.

Books torn, backpacks thrown, desks and chairs damaged... these are considered minor offenses; being splashed with water in the toilet, scalded while eating, being punched, kicked, and slapped... these are considered moderate offenses; but the most serious offenses are even more outrageous, like having nude photos taken...

Fortunately, someone stood up to stop the bullying.

The person who stepped forward was An Jing.

Then... the one being bullied became An Jing.

Moreover, the severity is far greater than before.

The bullying lasted for a year, until I graduated from junior high school.

During this time, Anjing tried various ways to resist, but none of them worked.

The transfer student she saved chose to remain silent for the entire year.

In her final act of resistance, Anjing accidentally injured the daughter of the tycoon who had led the bullying against her during the shoving. Her unintentional action caused the daughter to fall to the ground, fracturing her left arm and leaving a hideous scar after the wound was stitched up.

Anjing felt scared and asked her parents for help, wanting to transfer schools and leave the city.

As a result... her father was hit by a large truck that suddenly came out from the side while he was taking his sister to school, and both of them died on the spot.

Her mother was so grief-stricken that she fell seriously ill and was hospitalized.

Anjing took leave and stayed at the hospital to take care of her mother.

About two weeks later, my mother, whose condition was almost improving and recovering, suddenly died in her hospital bed one night.

Anjing didn't recover and subsequently fell into severe depression.

More than a month later, she jumped off a building and committed suicide.

After Mensa finished recounting this past event, he sighed heavily: "Quiet... was a girl with a strong character. Her parents and sister all died under suspicious circumstances, and I think she noticed that too."

"I firmly believe that she would not commit suicide until everything is thoroughly investigated."

“During that time, I often visited her in the hospital and talked to her a lot, trying my best to comfort her. I could clearly feel that her depression had improved.”

"As a result... negative public opinion suddenly arose online that she bullied her classmates, many false pictures circulated, and a large number of people who did not know the truth began to cyberbully her."

"Many people also released information about her deceased family members, accusing them of a lot of false slander. The whole internet was filled with insults, saying they deserved to die..."

At this point, his eyes turned gloomy: "I tried to clarify things for Anjing online, but... my voice was too weak to carry any weight."

"I even received a warning from a stranger not to meddle in other people's business."

"There's someone pulling the strings behind this... It's a pity that the child didn't make it..."

After saying everything, Mensa let out a long sigh of relief.

He had kept this secret to himself for many years, never daring to reveal it.

After all, he has a family, and he has to protect his family.

If it weren't for Xia Li's excellent "social skills," he would have kept this secret to his grave.

"What a born bad seed...!"

Xia Li frowned and said.

She was naturally referring to the daughter of that tycoon.

Fan Xiao took out his tablet, pulled up the data, and quickly found this born bad seed in the list of the dead.

After quickly reviewing it, he handed the tablet to others to look at.

"Uh...the entire family, including all relatives, totaling 93 people, were killed...regardless of age or gender, not a single person was left alive. Their bodies were all mangled, indicating they suffered extremely cruel torture before their deaths..."

The sight of the mournful wind sent chills down my spine.

Even from these cold words, one can feel Cinderella's anger.

There's even a surveillance video that's been preserved—the girl who led the bullying was the first to die; she was eaten piece by piece by her family, friends, and lover.

It means exactly what it says: it was eaten.

These people ate while crying and shouting that they were out of control, and the girl being eaten screamed like a pig the whole time. Even when only her head was left, she was not completely dead and was still weakly wailing... They're really something.

Besides the ringleaders of the bullying, all the other students who participated in the bullying were also tortured to death, including their families.

There were also students who had mocked and ridiculed him at school.

A teacher who stood up for bullies.

Finally... there's that group of keyboard warriors who organize cyberbullying.

Even those who merely echoed the trend and made a few casual remarks were found and killed.

The key is to completely wipe them out!

It has to be said, Cinderella really holds a grudge!

His revenge was filled with hysteria.

……

After leaving Mensa's house, Fan Xiao and the others found a quiet spot to gather, looking at each other without saying a word immediately.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

Fan Xiao broke the silence first, saying, "Judging from Cinderella's act of revenge... she has gone mad, truly mad, to the point of being completely irrational."

"Her actions during this period clearly show that her revenge has not stopped."

"Killing people is no longer enough for her; she probably wants to destroy the entire world and unleash her madness on everything."

“But…” Lily frowned, her tone complicated, “She’s already taken her revenge, and in a very aggressive way… hasn’t she vented her anger yet?”

“Like I said, she’s probably gone mad.” Fan Xiao shook his head: “You can’t reason with a madwoman; she just wants to destroy everything.”

"It seems... I can't use my verbal skills." Beifeng sighed softly.

"Now is not the time to discuss how crazy Cinderella is."

Xia Li reminded everyone, "We still haven't found what she abandoned. Judging from the current information, she abandoned kindness... or rather, she abandoned all positive emotions. We don't know in what form these illusory emotions will manifest? It seems that what we're looking for isn't with Teacher Mensa..."

"I already have some ideas about this."

Fan Xiao spoke up, saying, "In the quiet story, besides the bullies and cyberbullies who have already been killed, there is another important character whose fate we do not yet know."

"This character was saved by An Jing's kindness. But it was also because of this kindness that An Jing's troubles began - if we were to say who An Jing was most connected to in terms of the emotions she gave up, it would be none other than her."

"If nothing unexpected happens, what we're looking for should be on her."

Chapter 727 Thoughts traveling through time and space

The transfer student girl who was saved by An Jing's kindness was named Gan Xia.

This name was not on the list of those who died on June 12.

For some unknown reason, on the day Cinderella returned to the mortal world, she spared Gansha and did not kill him.

Judging from her behavior, this is very inappropriate.

She found and eliminated everyone who had merely followed the trend and made fun of her online. Logically, she should have no reason to let Gan Xia go.

After all... her act of standing up for Gan Xia indirectly led to her enduring a year of brutal bullying on Gan Xia's behalf, and even her family members died because of it.

During this time, Gan Xia himself remained silent, doing nothing and simply watching everything unfold due to his cowardice and timidity.

In the eyes of the person involved, An Jing, this was definitely an act of betrayal.

An extreme avenger won't let you off just because you're a coward.

It's possible that An Jing's hatred for Gan Xia is even greater than that for those bullies.

It is truly surprising that Gan Xia is still alive.

Fan Xiao guessed that something must have happened between the two that Mensa teachers were unaware of.

It was precisely these unknowns that gave Ganxia a way out.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Cinderella's "discarded possessions" are in Gansha's hands!

Of course, there is another explanation for why Gan Xia is still alive—the strong are angry and draw their swords against the stronger; the weak are angry and draw their swords against the weaker.

Aside from remaining silent, Gan Xia did nothing to bully An Jing. You could call her cowardly or useless, but this behavior reflects the reality of most ordinary people. Courageous people are ultimately a minority.

Comparing Gan Xia to the bullies is going too far.

She was positioned as a "weaker" person who dared not resist, not a heinous criminal.

Those who truly possess a strong mindset will not take action against such people.

Only those who bully the weak and fear the strong, who dare not wield their swords against the real enemy, will target these even weaker individuals to vent their anger... because weakness is equated with being easy to bully.

However... Fan Xiao suppressed this thought as soon as it arose.

This possibility can be largely ruled out.

If quietness is a sign of strength, he has no doubt.

As for Cinderella... judging from what she has done in her own world, she is neither strong nor weak, but rather... she has become a demon!

Whether someone is stronger or weaker, if she encounters them and doesn't like them, she'll probably slap them across the face.

She has become purely negative, only able to vent her frustrations on everything in the world.

Therefore, she must have had a specific reason for letting Gan Xia go.

After making the decision to search for Gan Xia, Fan Xiao and his group of five immediately took action.

With a tablet device that can access official information systems, finding people is quite simple.

During the journey, Lily looked preoccupied.

Fan Xiao noticed her unusual behavior and asked as they hurried on their way, "What's wrong? Could it be... you're sympathizing with Cinderella's past life?"

"Well... that's true to some extent. But it's not all I'm thinking about. Besides sympathy, I... I also feel a bit disappointed."

Lily sighed softly, "Now it's almost certain that all the information Cinderella told Xiaoxiao before... that is, the information about her purpose, was all a lie!"

Her little face was flushed with anger: "She's so mean! She clearly wants to destroy the world, but she lies and says she wants to liberate everyone's fate, taking advantage of other people's kindness to do bad things for her... If she were quiet, she definitely wouldn't do such a thing."

She really wanted to give the other person a couple of personality-correcting punches!

If it were a purely evil person, she might not be so emotionally agitated; she would simply be focused on defeating the other party.

But when faced with Cinderella, who had lived a quiet life in her previous life, she always felt a mix of regret, heartache, and disappointment... In short, her emotions were quite complex.

The more I think about it, the more excited I get.

Lily gritted her teeth and said, "Liars are just so annoying!"

Fan Xiao: "..."

If Lily weren't such an innocent girl, Fan Xiao would have thought she was subtly criticizing him.

Although he often lied, he knew that he was a good person.
