Chapter 1: The Phantom Emerges
In the vast sea of people, who touched your shadow, who read your heart.
Everyone's shadow has a password, please guard your password, guard your shadow, and protect your shadow.
There are thousands of years of codes waiting to be cracked in the shadows, and it can reveal a fantastical world.
And I'm a codebreaker.
A chance encounter opened up another mode in my life, from an ignorant teenager to an unknown shadow realm, and a different mythological story hid the secrets of the family that had been sealed for thousands of years.
My name is Xian Dongdong, gender male, yes, this is my name, I don't know what my parents were stimulated to give me such a name, since I can't change it, then I have to accept it. I'm an ordinary high school student, going to and from school every day, living a repetitive life.
My dad is a businessman, to put it mildly, he is an entrepreneur, although he is in business, but I don't think he earns money, and my monthly living expenses are not enough to even buy books.
My mother is a high school English teacher, and since I can remember, I have never stopped enrolling in various cram schools during the winter and summer vacations, and I just hope to be admitted to college as soon as possible.
The story begins with my winter vacation tutoring in my freshman year of high school.
"Knock knock, if you're not hurrying, you're going to be late" Mom was urging again.
I tried to get myself out of my quilt, I opened the curtain with my fingers and looked out, "Mom, it's still dark this day, why do you want me to get up so early" I said with sleepy eyes.
"It's half past six now, you go to math at eight o'clock, today is the first day of class, don't be late, now get up to wash up and eat and go out, it's too late, hurry up, eat something, and go out for me immediately......" Mom's began to become Tang Seng again.
"Who told you to report to a class so far from home," I said unpleasantly.
"That class is my trustee to apply, you don't know to recruit 20 people, that's the best tutor in the city, if you weren't so stupid, do I need to bother with that?" said my mother and prepared breakfast.
I ate a few bites of breakfast, quickly picked up my school bag, looked at the address on my phone, and pedaled on my bicycle that had been with me since junior high school.
The first feeling from home is cool, the second feeling is cold, although my home is in the southern seaside town, the winter is still a little cold, look at the time, it takes more than half an hour to ride a bicycle, it is estimated that it can arrive at more than eight o'clock.
The community where my family lives is considered a relatively good community in Haiquan City, and the location is in the center of the city. The location of the cram school is in the east of the city, not far from the sea, fortunately there are few people on the road in the morning, I arrived at the location of the cram school before eight o'clock, the cram school is in a unit in a community, I got on the elevator to the tutorial class.
It's a two-bedroom house, and there are six or seven people in it, sit in the last row, I don't like to sit in the front, and after a while, people come one after another, and the teacher also comes.
"You, that's you, the boy who did the last table, you come to the front to do it, there's a space in front," the teacher suddenly pointed to me and said.
I reluctantly walked forward, there was a tall, curly-haired girl, I knew from the back that it was a beautiful woman, sit next to her, I was just about to put my thoughts into action, suddenly I heard the deep voice again.
"Go ahead, come to this boy's side. The teacher spoke again.
"I'll go. "I thought to myself, what a nosy, I can't sit anywhere.
No way, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and after sitting firmly, the boy next to me smiled at me, and the goosebumps on my body rose, what did he want to do.
Listening to the boring lessons, I started to get a little sleepy and finally got out of class.
The boy next to him said,
"You want to sit next to the girl in the back when you come, don't you?"
"Yes, what's wrong" I didn't look at him squarely.
"She is the daughter of this teacher, her name is Sun Shiqi, and she is from the same school as me, I am from the third middle school, and my name is Liu Lei," he said.
"My name is Xiandong, No. 1 Middle School," I said perfunctorily.
No. 3 Middle School, isn't it my mother's school? I thought to myself, no wonder I enrolled in such a tutoring class, it turned out to be a teacher at my mother's school.
"Xian Dongdong, your name is really weird," Liu Leici squinted and said.
"What's so strange about this, it's just that you don't know many people" I'm used to it, and I often answer this sentence.
"You came here to attend cram school in No. 1 Middle School, and No. 1 Middle School is the point. Liu Lei said and looked at me again.
"My mother reported it to me," I said perfunctorily.
"I'm also reported by my mother, it seems that I am connected to the same fate," Liu Lei said half-jokingly.
"But this teacher is okay, much better than my current math teacher, a little girl who just graduated from college, not a few years older than me. Liu Lei leaked some helpless expressions.
"Have you watched the news lately?" asked Liu Lei.
"What news, I only care about what I eat at night now, I don't care about the news," I said with a shrug.
"A few people saved a girl who committed suicide on the beach, and the girl said that she didn't commit suicide, but someone else entered her shadow and pulled him into the sea, but the police watched video surveillance, and the girl walked into the sea by herself" Liu Lei folded the corner of his book back and forth.
"Is there something stimulated by that woman, or she will run into a ghost," I said silently.
"Do you know who that girl is?" Liu Lei said pretending to be mysterious.
"I don't know," I said.
Liu Lei pointed to the back, "It's the girl you wanted to sit next to her just now" Liu Lei said cautiously, but he didn't look back.
"No, you're teasing me, she looks pretty normal," I said with some disbelief.
"We didn't believe it at first, but it's true, my girlfriend has a good relationship with Sun Shiqi, she told me," Liu Lei said.
I secretly glanced at Sun Shiqi, she has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, melon seed face, and she is really beautiful.
"According to my girlfriend, Sun Shiqi herself said that she seemed to be controlled by others, she didn't know what she was doing, she was exercising in the morning that day, someone harassed her, she felt like she wanted to be possessed by a ghost, and then she followed everyone into the sea. Liu Lei said mysteriously. "It became a taboo subject. ”
The teacher came, knocked on the blackboard, and continued to class, I didn't listen to anything in my head, I looked at Sun Shiqi from time to time, she listened carefully to the class, how to look at it is normal, how could she commit suicide, is there really such a thing as a ghost possessed.
After school, Liu Lei and I added a WeChat to each other, and went back to our respective homes, thinking about what Liu Lei said and Sun Shiqi's delicate face all the way, what a beautiful woman was controlled by.
At this time, I didn't know that there was a pair of deep eyes staring at me from a tall building in the distance.
