Looking at the unconscious Wang Yicheng, Chen Ge's emotions took a long time to settle. He had obtained a crucial piece of information from what Wang Yicheng had just said.
The person who had lured Lin Sisi into the bathroom back then was Wang Yicheng himself.
"I never expected that the most important person would be right beside me."
Chen Ge felt grateful that even after entering the world behind the door, he had retained his good nature. When he had first met Wang Yicheng, he hadn't thought too much about it—he simply saw someone standing alone and wanted to help him change his situation.
And in fact, he had succeeded. Wang Yicheng now had several new friends, and none of them bullied or discriminated against him.
Through the words Wang Yicheng had blurted out during his episode, Chen Ge had also roughly pieced together the full story.
Wang Yicheng and Lin Sisi both lived in Room 413, and for various reasons, neither of them was particularly well-liked.
Because of their different personalities, they each dealt with their classmates' cold violence in different ways.
Wang Yicheng chose to endure, suffering in silence.
Lin Sisi, on the other hand, came up with all sorts of schemes to draw everyone's attention.
These two probably couldn't be called friends—they were simply bullied kids who had banded together.
The other students despised Lin Sisi and decided to dress up as ghosts to scare him in the bathroom on the top floor of the teaching building, as a form of revenge.
To successfully lure Lin Sisi there, they had approached Wang Yicheng, who still had a somewhat decent relationship with him.
Chen Ge didn't know how those students had persuaded Wang Yicheng, but he knew the end result was that Wang Yicheng had agreed to go along with them.
Wang Yicheng had his own difficulties, but the person who had pushed Lin Sisi toward the cliff's edge was him.
"Hurry up! Before Wang Yicheng wakes up, we need to shake off the people following us."
Chen Ge was extremely cautious. He made a few more detours and only let out a sigh of relief after confirming that the white-clothed figures weren't following them.
The atmosphere in the West Campus was gradually growing more and more abnormal. White-clothed strangers were increasing in number, so Chen Ge pressed on without lingering, leading the club members to the waste sorting and processing center.
"Teacher Bai, are those people in white also school teachers? How come I've never seen them before? And why were they chasing us just now?" Zhu Long had a lot of questions he wanted to ask.
"They're not teachers. They're administrators who maintain order in the West Campus. As for why they kept chasing us…" Chen Ge set the unconscious Wang Yicheng down on the grass. "Because of him, and because of you."
"Us?"
"That's right. This school is nothing like you think it is. If you compare it to a human brain, the West Campus is responsible for processing all the positive emotions, while negative emotions and waste are handled by the East Campus." Chen Ge used a simple analogy to explain. "The West Campus holds only beautiful memories—all the garbage has to be sent to the East Campus. But how could a person be left with nothing but beautiful memories?"
"So we've forgotten a lot of our memories?" Zhang Ju was very sharp; before Chen Ge had even finished, he already understood what he meant.
"That's right. What you've forgotten are memories filled with despair. The West Campus considers this kind of thing to be garbage. The moment these memories of yours start to stir or awaken, they'll send you to the East Campus." Chen Ge spoke with great seriousness. "Now that you know the truth, are you still willing to continue searching for your memories?"
