Chapter 86 Arguing
In the comics, the dark color scheme, combined with the strange jump scares, is what makes it so scary.
Jiang Xingni genuinely felt that this scene would definitely be turned into memes by real-world viewers and become widely circulated.
In a sense, it can be considered a surge in popularity.
What follows is a familiar plot to Jiang Xingni, all the way to the stadium, where the scene from six years ago suddenly flashes back, revealing to the audience the reason why Zhao Henshan has become a monster.
Just as Jiang Xingni had predicted, the comments section was already filled with arguments about whether or not she should kill those two girls whose names Jiang Xingni didn't even know.
To be more precise, the two girls were merely a trigger; the real cause of the argument had nothing to do with them.
[I don't understand the trend in the comments. Zhao Henshan is a murderer, and you guys are genuinely fighting because of him.]
[Are you out of your mind? Did you even read the whole comic before spouting nonsense?]
Zhao Henshan was also a victim of school bullying; she was innocent. If it weren't for the bullying, she should have had a better future, instead of becoming a monster, trapped in school for over six years, and possibly remaining trapped forever!
[Yeah, yeah, I feel so sorry for our Henshan kids. It's already tough enough for most people to go through three years of high school, but for Henshan, it's three years followed by another three years...]
[I'm starting to doubt whether the two people mentioned earlier even read the comic. Aside from the first three years when Zhao Henshan was human, which were genuinely high school years, did she actually sit in a classroom and listen to lectures for the remaining six years? No, she didn't even have to take the college entrance exam, so why would she need to attend classes? She should just be a monster if she can, and if not, she should just get lost. I also want to be a high school student forever without taking the college entrance exam, and kill anyone I don't like at school.]
No one stays eighteen forever, but there will always be a weird eighteen-year-old!
[Those who clicked on the previous post, it's hilarious! Zhao Henshan never pays attention in class, just wanders around outside. How can you expect someone like that to stay in high school like a senior?]
[Just a quick aside... Does nobody really think Zhao Henshan is a nice name? It sounds like it has a story behind it...]
[Me too!! Finally, someone else feels the same way as me!!! Why is it "Hate Mountain" and not "Hate Water"? What was Zhao Henshan's mother thinking when she gave her daughter such a name? Plus, some people say Zhao Henshan is an illegitimate child or something, I feel like there's a lot of story behind this name!!!]
[I'm speechless. How did this argument veer off course again?]
[Getting back to the point, Zhao Henshan is innocent, but weren't her two sisters, whom she killed first, also innocent? They were clearly innocent too; not only did they do nothing, but they even tried to rescue Zhao Henshan, and yet they died.]
[The person above is hilarious. They clearly haven't experienced school bullying and are just feeling sorry for those two girls. Maybe they're just like them and feel sorry for them, haha.]
【? 】
[Why are you asking questions? Yes, those two girls weren't directly involved in the bullying, and they even discussed whether to help, but did they actually take any action? No! It was all just talk! And even when they were talking, they added that it was all Zhao Henshan's fault.]
[This is a post about school bullying; bystanders are also participants. Please be aware.]
What do you mean? Does this mean everyone in the world except you victims is a perpetrator? Are we not allowed to stand by and watch?
[Hilarious! I never said you couldn't be bystanders, but when you're bystanders, don't forget you chose to stand by in the first place. If one day you're the one being bullied, don't blame others for remaining indifferent. Isn't that what you were thinking back then? Then stop with the double standards!]
Oh, right, there's one more thing. If you're retaliated against by the victim like this, don't try to defend yourselves. Even if you didn't stand up for her, or even just watched from the sidelines, you are still a potential perpetrator!
[Girl, you seem to really like speaking from Zhao Henshan's perspective, are you perhaps a victim of school bullying yourself?]
[Novels and comics usually don't portray it this way, as it doesn't align with their values, but that's reality. The person who gets bullied at school often has their own problems. Hehe, look at you complaining like that, no wonder you empathize with Zhao Henshan. You two are both losers in school!]
The way the argument unfolded was exactly as Jiang Xingni had predicted, with no changes whatsoever.
She calmly lowered her eyes—Jiang Xingni's attitude toward this matter was actually very clear from the beginning.
She is not Zhao Henshan. Even though she now wears Zhao Henshan's face and skin, she is still not Zhao Henshan.
Even after Su Yanzhi returns, Jiang Xingni will still have to face the school as Zhao Henshan, but she is ultimately not Zhao Henshan.
A few minutes of experience was not enough for Jiang Xingni to empathize with Zhao Henshan, let alone to truly understand the years of repression Zhao Henshan had endured.
Neither she nor Su Yanzhi had the right to judge Zhao Henshan's actions.
Of course, it's one thing to be unqualified to judge Zhao Henshan, but it's another to decide whether to stop Zhao Henshan from continuing his massacres.
Yes, it's pitiful that Zhao Henshan was bullied.
Yes, she should also have the opportunity to avenge herself.
However, six years ago, Zhao Henshan's revenge could be considered justifiable, as she took away the bullies, both alive and not dead, one by one.
Even though the students still in school today have nothing to do with the bullying that happened six years ago, Zhao Henshan still harbors resentment.
This is what Jiang Xingni and Xiao Jiming's group are trying to do—temporarily exclude Su Yanzhi. Su Yanzhi gave Jiang Xingni the feeling that he might turn against them at any time—no matter how pitiful Zhao Henshan was in the past, she has now become the kind of person he wants to take revenge on.
In a sense, the dragon slayer becomes the dragon himself.
All the suffering she endured is not a reason for her to become a perpetrator, nor is it a reason for her to inflict the same pain on innocent people.
Jiang Xingni ignored this page.
The argument was so intense that she almost quit the forum.
She silently exited the interface and went directly to the next episode.
This time, Jiang Xingni got the information she wanted.
There is information regarding the whereabouts of Xiao Jiming, Song Juexiao, and He Jingtong.
There's also Su Yanzhi, who hasn't yet been mistakenly dragged out by Zhao Henshan.
