Chapter X
Xia Yitong had a dream about the first day of college. She stood at the school gate in a black dress that covered her feet, following the blurred crowd.
The teacher who checked her appearance at the gate stopped her, showed an impatient look and said, "You don't need to wear a school uniform in college, but you can't wear fancy clothes either, where do you look like you're coming to school from head to toe? β
Xia Yitong paused when she heard the sound, and silently lowered her head and pulled up her skirt, revealing a pair of white sneakers.
The teacher was cold.
Not far away, a hearty laugh suddenly came, "Teacher, she is conservative at best, you haven't seen fancy clothes." β
As he spoke, the man carried a silver backpack and two bright yellow suitcases, and flew over like a butterfly.
I don't know why she subconsciously looked around and found that all the people around with a lot of luggage had parents following to take things, only this girl was alone. But she had a free and bright smile on her face, and she didn't seem to care in the slightest that no one had come to see her off.
The scene ticks to see her and the girl sitting in the school cafeteria, and she is drinking a drink she hasn't drunk before.
"Thank you for helping me move my luggage to the dormitory, my name is Hao Yile, what's your name?"
Hao Yile: What a familiar name.
Xia Yitong thought about it, but couldn't remember where she had heard it.
"My name is Xia Yitong, local. β
The straw made an abrupt "sizzle" sound, and she was embarrassed to look up, and saw that the background behind Hao Yile was blurry, like an invisible layer of frosted glass, separating them from the outside world, and even the noise was very unreal.
Hao Yile laughed, magically took out two more cans from her wide off-the-shoulder vest and handed them to her.
"Plum drinks, only available in my hometown, you can drink whatever you like. β
Xia Yitong stared at the empty can, but couldn't remember what the plum drink tasted like.
A burst of fog suddenly floated in front of her, and the thick fog obscured her vision, gradually engulfing everything around her, she stood up nervously, and heard the sound of Hao Yile arguing with whom.
"As I said, you don't have to worry about my business! That's right, I deliberately didn't take the math test during the college entrance examination, and I just came to the north to go to a junior college! I don't want to go to a conservatory, and I don't want to be a doctor!"
After Hao Yile said this, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence again.
In the white fog where she couldn't see her fingers, the silence was particularly terrifying, and she slapped the fog in front of her, wanting to go to Hao Yile's side. But the mist was like a weightless thick liquid, clinging to her skin, and she couldn't get rid of it.
After a while, Hao Yile's voice sounded again, "I haven't figured out what to do now, but you don't have to worry about it, not everyone has a dream." If so, then my dream is to be able to live freely, and you don't have to make decisions for me......" She paused for a few seconds, and a small whimper seemed to be heard, "If your decisions are all right, then why did my brother die!"
The suppressed whimper turned into a growl of grief.
Xia Yitong finally recognized the direction of her voice, and ran all the way out of the fog.
There are a few stars scattered on the dark blue sky, the starry sky is reflected in the water, and the calm lake surface is like a mirror, reflecting Hao Yile's lonely figure.
She sat on a big rock by the lake, hugging her knees and curling into a ball. The lamppost by the lake stretched her shadow and cast it at Xia Yitong's feet.
She suddenly remembered what her aunt in the orphanage said to her when she was a child: "As long as you step on the shadow of that person, you can be friends for life, and you will never be separated." β
She stepped on her shadow and walked up to her and gently touched her head.
Hao Yile suddenly turned around and hugged her, his head buried in her stomach, the warm liquid penetrating the thin fabric and wetting her heart.
Xia Yitong touched her head again and said, "Don't cry, if you are unhappy in the future, you can tell me, we are friends, friends for life." β
It was dark all around, and Hao Yile in his arms was gone.
Before she could react, the darkness in front of her had begun to turn into a dark red, and the dark red gradually became transparent, and the noise of the restaurant and the hot pot smell appeared at the same time. Hao Yile sat in front of her, putting a plate of fat cattle into the pot, the red oil bubbling up.
The darkness of Fang Cai seems to be just because he is not willing to be smoked by the spicy smell of the hot pot.
She toasted to Xia Yitong, "Come on, come on, I'm going to celebrate two things today." First, I celebrate that my beauty Hao Da has found a job as a working model that matches my beauty identity, and can finally be self-reliant. Second-" She paused, stood up, and mysteriously leaned into Xia Yitong's ear and said, "I found my brother." β
"Isn't your brother dead?" Since the scene just now was still fresh in his memory, Xia Yitong blurted out, and immediately felt a little abrupt after speaking.
But Hao Yile was not angry at all, he still had a smug smile on his face, and said with yearning and happiness in his tone: "My dear, this is a secret, when the opportunity is ripe, I will let you meet him." β
Xia Yitong noticed a little tattoo mark on her left shoulder, which seemed to be on her back, but the first time she noticed that she was wearing an off-the-shoulder vest, it should not have been.
No, something seemed to pass through Xia Yitong's temples in an instant, quickly pulling away her sense of reality.
She suddenly felt unusually conscious.
She didn't meet her when she started school, she didn't hold her and cry at night, and they didn't eat hot pot together.
But she knew Hao Yile, why did she know her? By the way, it was because she had helped her out of the siege in a coffee shop, and that was the first time they met.
Hao Yile disappeared again, and the background of the hot pot restaurant seemed to float on the water, constantly distorting with the current, transforming into a dynamic picture.
She went to see Hao Yile's performance.
Hao Yile celebrated her birthday.
They slept together on small beds in the dormitory, chatting dreamily, laughing and making noise.
They yawned together to watch the sunrise at the top of the mountain, and the two of them wore the same blanket.
They went to the playground together, Xia Yitong was so frightened on the roller coaster that her eyes were closed, but Hao Yile shouted excitedly, "Honey, open your eyes!"
Hao Yile stretched out his hand to wipe off the lipstick of the girl in the green dress and said: "She is just different, she looks 10,000 times better than you green tea without makeup, because she is my most important friend." β
The picture stopped, she stood up, and slowly walked to herself hiding behind Hao Yile.
In the picture, she and the current her are one, she looks at Hao Yile, and wants to say to her, "Thank you, dear." "She wants to have a good friend like Hao Yile.
But she knew it was all fake.
"Hao Yile, thank you. If I really were your good friend, then I would definitely feel very happy. β
With her unwavering voice, the surrounding scene fell like shattered mirrors, revealing the darkness behind them.
In the familiar and warm environment, there was the sound of cups and saucers colliding, and Xia Yitong woke up from her dream.
She came to the kitchen groggy and saw Bai Xing making coffee for herself.
"Are you awake? Don't you have to go to class today?"
He raised his hand and pointed his thumb to the wall clock in the living roomβ7:40.
Xia Yitong was stunned for a second, then rushed back to the bedroom like the wind, and five minutes later rushed out of the door like the wind, all the way to the bus stop 300 meters outside the community.
She looked at the time jumping on her phone, and the rounder face of the chubby counselor was already floating in her mind.
A big red electric motorcycle quietly stopped in front of her.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "What are you in a daze, what do you want to do with your little brother? Hurry up and get in the car, I'm going to be late." β
Xia Yitong looked up when he heard the sound and saw Hao Yile.
Along the way, she carefully held her waist, and saw a large tattoo through the hollowed-out vest behind her back.
The first time I saw her in my dream, she didn't have a tattoo, why would a girl have such a big tattoo, and it still looks a little scary.
Xia Yitong wanted to ask her, but she felt a little abrupt, after all, she had only met her three times, and finally shut up.
All morning, she was still immersed in dreams, and felt that the familiar environment of the school seemed very unreal.
Why did she feel that Hao Yile called her very affectionate this morning......
A strange thought came to her, she remembered that she had had a similar dream after Hakusha had modified Harry's memory.
"Damn. β
If she guessed correctly, Bai Xing must have modified Hao Yile's memory in order to make Hao Yile forget him, but why did he add her to Hao Yile's memory on his own initiative?
She ran out of the classroom, hid in a hidden corner of the school building, and after a week of observation, pulled the microphone out of her ear.
"Call for white punishment, call for white punishment. β
Almost at the same time as her words fell, white punishment had already appeared in front of her.
Xia Yitong was so frightened that he was about to scream, he covered her mouth, put his index finger on his lips and made a silent movement, and tilted his head and pointed to the side.
She followed his movements and looked over and saw Hao Yile lingering at the door of her classroom, Xia Yitong felt even more angry.
But she couldn't break the hands on her face or kick the feet in front of her, and Bai Xing opened a safe distance from her with her absolute height advantage. Xia Yitong suddenly became evil from the side of his guts, grabbed his arm with both hands and broke it to the side, opened his mouth and took a bite.
A fishy-sweet smell permeated her mouth, and she snorted as she saw large drops of blood hit the floor.
Bai Xing and Xia Yitong froze at the same time.
She actually didn't use much strength, but she felt that he modified Hao Yile's memory without authorization and made her very angry, and he covered her mouth again, so she felt even more angry. But with such a bite that was not too strong, he actually bled out!
He...... Why is he so unbitten.
"Ahh
Suddenly, a scream of fear came from the top floor of the school building, breaking their awkward atmosphere.
Immediately after that, groups of students rushed down the stairs on the fourth floor, and Bai Xing and Xia Yitong hurriedly clinged to the wall to make way for them.
When the crowd dissipated, Xia Yitong was relieved to see Hao Yile running out of her classroom and chasing after the crowd with an anxious face.
White Torture spun the lighter, flipping up and down on the screen that appeared out of thin air in front of him.
"This guy who appeared this time is called a changeling.,It's been a crime many times in hundreds of years.,Later, he was killed by a demon hunter.,It's said that the demon power has dissipated.,But I don't know why it's resurrected again.γ β
Xia Yitong listened to the description of the white punishment and looked at the screen, there were only some text descriptions of the case on the screen, and there were no photos.
It turns out that he suddenly appeared not because of her summons, but because he tracked the changeling at school.
She glanced at his hand with some guilt, and saw that the wound had healed.
Moments later, they appeared on the top floor of the school building.
"The top floor of the school building is usually used as a school exhibition hall, and today I heard that it was lent to a new artist who graduated from the school for an exhibition. Xia Yitong said to Bai Xing.
Bai Xing hid behind the window and motioned with his eyes for her to look inside.
Xia Yitong followed his instructions and observed carefully.
Directly above the exhibition hall hangs a brightly colored purple marine work, and the surrounding walls are also full of mysterious landscapes and animal paintings. Although it feels like an exaggerated painting, it doesn't seem to be anything unusual. However, several chairs in the exhibition hall all overturned, indicating that something terrible must have happened at that time, which made the students rush out in a panic.
She was about to ask what it meant to be punished.
She saw a red and yellow tiger with curly hair and erected ears on the wall seem to move, and she blinked and looked again, and the tiger had slowly stepped out of the painting.
