Bai Yuze observed the students on the bus while recalling the original plot; in his memory, there was a scene where someone offered their seat later on.
Although Bai Yuze's grades weren't good, he was still a kind-hearted, model youth, and if it was within his ability, he would certainly give up his seat.
At this moment, a stoic student frowned. He glanced in Bai Yuze's direction, and after seeing Bai Yuze with his eyes closed, he shifted his gaze.
Bai Yuze sighed internally, thinking, 'As expected of the White Room's greatest masterpiece, such acute senses, like a wild beast.'
Thinking of this, he began to send a warm greeting to the original author. If the original author had stronger writing skills and a more flexible mind, he wouldn't have written this book like a vocational high school free-for-all.
Ding dong!
The bus stopped, and an old woman appeared inside.
Bai Yuze was startled! He almost opened his eyes. The old woman had appeared out of thin air, and even stranger, everyone else on the bus seemed not to notice her presence.
Or... in their eyes, this old woman seemed to have always been a passenger on the bus...
"Um... can anyone offer this elderly lady a seat?"
As angels, the virtue of respecting the elderly and cherishing the young can bestow upon them pure white wings.
Kushida Kikyo supported the old woman, her face filled with concern, as she asked those around her.
However, the people on the bus were all more or less flawed in character; some were indifferent, some wanted to help but feared embarrassment, and then there was someone else... he was sitting in the priority seat...
At this moment, an OL-style woman stood up. She spoke to the young man in the priority seat with the tone of an elder instructing a junior.
"Don't you think you should give up your seat?"
"What a crazy question, lady! Why should I give up my seat?"
The young man chuckled, crossed his legs, and pulled out a comb from who-knows-where, meticulously combing his thick golden hair, occasionally muttering to himself...
"I'm truly too beautiful..."
This familiar tone, this unique narcissism, immediately made Bai Yuze recognize the identity of the 'Beautiful Brother'.
Seeing that the young man had no intention of giving up his seat, the OL-style woman immediately raised her voice.
"Huh? The seat you're sitting in now is a priority seat. Shouldn't you give it to an elder?"
Facing the OL-style woman's persistence, Kouenji, however, remained completely unperturbed.
"How truly perplexing. Even if it's a priority seat, there's no legal regulation, is there? Shouldn't whether I give up my seat depend on my choice?"
At this moment, Kushida Kikyo also gently advised.
"Um, student, do you have a special reason for not giving up your seat? Like feeling unwell or something..."
Bai Yuze heard Kushida's words, and his vigilance towards Kushida increased by several points.
It seemed like she was giving Kouenji a way out, but in reality, she was putting him on the spot. Whether Kouenji was healthy or not could be discerned with the naked eye. I ask you, does a robust and energetic person look sick?
Kouenji smiled after hearing Kushida's 'concerned' words, then replied.
"Thank you for your concern, beautiful lady. My body is as beautiful as my face, unlike a fox girl who is outwardly splendid but inwardly rotten. Of course, that's right! Just like that! Hahahahaha."
Kouenji suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had encountered something amusing, and this action left Kushida Kikyo speechless, as in her eyes, Kouenji seemed like a lunatic...
Bai Yuze was puzzled.
"Did the 'Beautiful Brother' see through Kushida's disguise? That's too terrifying!"
At this moment, Bai Yuze felt his clothes being tugged. To avoid suspicion, Bai Yuze opened his eyes and looked at Kushida Kikyo beside him.
Kushida was looking at Bai Yuze with an expression of pleading, which instantly made Bai Yuze's heart flutter... not!
Bai Yuze expressed that with so many people watching, you want him to go persuade the 'Beautiful Brother'? He'd rather die!
At this point, Bai Yuze had secretly decided to stand by, unafraid even if Kushida held a grudge against him.
Just then, that unsettling feeling appeared again! And it was even stronger than before!
At this moment, Bai Yuze subconsciously looked at the old woman's position, only to see her originally rough hands beginning to lengthen... her fingernails growing at a visible rate!
Because the old woman's hands were hanging low, and everyone else in the bus had turned their heads away, no one else saw the old woman's change except for Bai Yuze...
Bang!
"Student! You're going too far! Didn't your teachers teach you! You must respect the elderly and cherish the young; if everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful place!"
Bai Yuze suddenly stomped his foot, startling the people around him, but Bai Yuze directly raised the old woman's arm and pointed at Kouenji, his face filled with an angry expression.
His demeanor stunned the people on the bus, making them think the old woman was Bai Yuze's grandmother!
Kouenji seemed somewhat surprised by Bai Yuze's actions, but he still said calmly.
"Oh? I thought you were an honest boy, but you ended up acting like a monkey man. This does surprise me, but unfortunately, my teachers never taught me such boring things. As for a beautiful world? Hahaha, that's the funniest joke I've ever heard!"
Seeing Kouenji still acting the same, Bai Yuze was first startled, then looked at the old woman's arm.
The old woman's arm was still the same, without any change at all.
This scene made Bai Yuze lose his confidence; his heart was filled with doubt.
"What's going on? Did I see wrong just now???"
Bai Yuze wanted to say something else, but he was stopped by Kushida and the OL-style woman.
"Hmph! Good for you, young man. I thought you, like everyone else, only liked to stand by."
The OL-style woman praised Bai Yuze while not forgetting to disparage the others on the bus.
This effectively put Bai Yuze on the spot!
In the eyes of those bystanders, Bai Yuze was deliberately showing off, which caused them to be ridiculed, so some people didn't blame the woman but instead harbored resentment towards Bai Yuze.
Feeling the change in atmosphere, Bai Yuze couldn't help but smile bitterly. He then closed his eyes, using his special ability to secretly observe Ayanokoji's expression.
Seeing Ayanokoji also looking calm and composed, Bai Yuze pondered.
"Could it be that I really saw wrong? The White Room's greatest masterpiece didn't notice the old woman's change?"
This was not actually Brother Lu's fault, because the bus was crowded; let alone the White Room's greatest masterpiece, even if Light Yagami came, he wouldn't have seen it!
Kushida Kikyo also put her hands together and blinked at Bai Yuze.
Her expression conveyed both gratitude and apology.
Just then, the old woman spoke, her voice hoarse.
"Children, let it be. My old bones are still quite strong, no need to go to such trouble."
The old woman looked kindly at the three, comforting them at the same time.
"I'm sorry..."
For some reason, Bai Yuze subconsciously apologized, but the words were already out, and it was impossible to take them back...
The old woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled kindly.
"It's alright, young man. To be honest, I should be the one apologizing to you..."
The old woman's words surprised Bai Yuze, but what was even more perplexing was what she said next.
"Children, stand back a bit, don't get hurt."
The old woman still had that kind face, but her words filled people with doubt.
Kushida wanted to ask something, but Bai Yuze grabbed her hand.
"Eh! Bai Yu-kun! You..."
Kushida was startled by Bai Yuze's action, but before she could finish speaking, Bai Yuze pulled the OL over as well, then he shouted!
"Close your eyes, no matter what you feel, don't open them!"
No sooner had Bai Yuze's words fallen than, *splat*!
Inside the bus... apart from the three of them who were unharmed, everyone else became character fragments, scattered in every corner of the bus.
The bus was directly stained blood red, and Bai Yuze felt his face was covered in blood...
Only three people in the entire bus remained intact...
Ding dong!
At this moment, the bus's announcement system sounded.
"Welcome to the world of the bizarre..."
Zzzzt!
Although Bai Yuze had his eyes closed, he could see what was happening. Everyone in the bus just now, except for him and the other two, instantly turned into fragmented puzzles.
And after the bus's announcement stopped, those who had turned into fragments were completely restored!
"A loop?" Bai Yuze pondered, stroking his chin. "No! Not a loop! It's time reversal with memories!"
At this moment, the old woman was still smiling kindly, but Kouenji's shocked expression and the others' attempts to distance themselves from the old woman also indicated that what had just happened was real...
Ding dong!
"Next stop: Advanced Nurturing High School!"
