Chapter 14: Seeing the Broken Red Man
Hongmang Lake is the name of a lake and a neighborhood that has only been built in recent years.
It's a new development, but it's barely within the city, with all the public facilities and the city's largest library, which has just been built, and attracts a lot of foot traffic.
Zhutian saw that the time was about the same, and he took a taxi downstairs to the entrance of the block, Duan Keyu was waiting for someone here while bowing his head and playing with his mobile phone, and only then raised his head after being photographed, "You have arrived." β
He put his phone back in his pocket, and naturally walked in front to lead the way, going deeper into the interior of Hongmang Lake.
Zhu Tian raised his hand and put it down, he watched Duan Keyu pass through Lin Ye's body, and shivered inexplicably, "Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"
"......" didn't know which one to sympathize with.
As a comprehensive district, there is even a library, and naturally there are popular facilities such as hotels. It's just that because the nearby real estate has not yet been sold, the Hongmang Lake Hotel has few customers every day, and it barely makes no money or loses.
It is also because of this that so many of them come that they don't even need to book in advance.
"Heavens, you're stuck too well at this time, and we said that if you're late, you'll be fined three glasses of wine. A boy looked at his watch and said with a little pity.
It's exactly 12 o'clock, and there is almost no deviation.
Urya, who was wearing a pale dress, beckoned the students to take their seats, and interjected as she walked by: "Don't think about drinking all day, you all have classes tomorrow, and he has always ......had a good sense of time."
As she spoke, she was stunned, and quickly glanced at the young man who had just entered the door, and found that he didn't seem to notice this, so her heart was slightly relieved, and she hurriedly left a few steps.
The heavens did not look at her, but they heard the words clearly, including the last disguised hesitation.
His sense of time is so good that he can estimate the current time without having to look at his watch, but he never had the habit of stuck in time two years ago, so no one else is aware of it. And the concept of time is equally good, and there is also a habit of card time - it is Lin Ye.
What was Uria thinking when she said this? Thinking of herself as Lin Ye, or was she just nostalgic?
When I was in junior high school, the whole class knew that Urya liked Lin Ye, the kind of like that she didn't approach or confess.
No one would laugh at her, because she was far more than the only one in the class who liked Lin Ye, and it was not for nothing that she was more obvious than her, but no one dared to try to get close.
Lin Ye was probably born with an aura that made people feel unattainable, except for the heavens, all of them were defeated under this aura, and they couldn't help but walk around him.
"Is it so terrible?" Zhu Tian listened to Duan Keyu's description, and only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh.
He recalled his junior high school days, Lin Ye didn't have any special performance except for being cold on the surface, but it was rare to see someone take the initiative to contact him, and some people would even ask themselves for help when they had to deal with Lin Ye.
What kind of image does he think to you people?
"I can't tell, I just don't feel like it's easy to mess with. Duan Keyu's face was entangled for a moment, "Moreover, I always feel that you are becoming more and more similar to him." β
"Yes. β
"yes! The tone of that sentence is exactly the same!"
Zhu Tian didn't speak again, found his junior high school homeroom teacher and English teacher, and said, "Teacher Gong, congratulations." β
It is also a matter of celebration that this opportunity to study abroad can fall on her head.
"It's Zhutian, I heard that you are in the first middle school, and now you are in the third year of high school, how is your academic performance?" Teacher Gong was very impressed by Zhutian, after all, he was also an excellent student in junior high school.
"It's good. β
"What do you say...... Every time I asked Lin Ye before, he answered like this, but it's a pity ......" The young female teacher sighed, she really felt sorry for that student.
Lin Ye was their class, no, it can be said that he is the best student since the establishment of the school. While other students were still struggling for the rise and fall of one or two rankings, Lin Ye had already locked the first place position - full marks for all subjects, and it was a miracle to deduct one point.
In contrast, Zhu Tian, who is recognized as smart enough, but not attentive enough, is the object of several subject teachers who hate iron and steel.
As long as he works harder, he can't compete with Lin Ye.
But the heavens don't have that motivation at all.
He really studies to complete the task, and he doesn't care about the grades at all.
Hearing the old man mention it again, Zhutian immediately interrupted: "Teacher Gong, don't mention it. "Lin Ye is watching you from the side, don't you feel panicked in those eyes?
"Okay, don't mention it. She remembered the previous relationship between the two, as if she had misunderstood something, and glanced at Zhutian with a little pity, "Your current state looks much better than when you were in junior high school, keep it up, we all believe that you can be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University!"
"I see, thank you, teacher. What else can be answered?
He walked away and pulled out a chair next to Duan Keyu and sat down. The surrounding students also found a place to sit down one after another, and began to greet each other.
Although it was a temporary reunion, most of the junior high school students stayed in the local area after graduation, except for a few who couldn't come because of something, and there were more than two dozen left.
Zhutian is only a little familiar with Duan Keyu, and the others are ordinary classmates, and when they see the greeting, they nod their heads, and there are not many topics to talk about.
It wasn't until Urya explained some things to the waitress and finally sat down in his seat that the days of the day did he mention a little bit of nature.
Because Lin Ye looked at her.
This is already the second time.
He had long noticed that Lin Ye's gaze would not always be focused on himself, and if someone entered the three-meter range around him, he would also get his "attention", but the time was relatively short, often only two or three seconds.
Urya was at least five meters away from her, why would Lin Ye look at her?
When I first entered the door, my eyes fell directly on Urya, and I didn't retract it until I couldn't see it.
Who believes it if it says it's no problem!
Now that Lin Ye has pointed out the direction, let's start the investigation from Wu Erya, hoping to find a thread.
Zhu Tian didn't suspect that there would be other reasons at all, and he couldn't be clearer about Lin Ye's character. Even if he was blind and didn't see that this was a traverser, the understanding he had learned over the years was not fake.
Lin Ye treats everyone except him equally, ignoring everyone equally. The kind of arrogance that looks down on ordinary people has been immersed in the bones.
What is the special relationship between Linye and Urya? What does not exist, what does not exist.
Anyway, why does Lin Ye look at himself differently?
The heavens were thinking crankily while coping with the greetings and toasts at the table, but fortunately he was quite skillful, and no one could see that he was absent-minded.
It seemed that the meal was about to end, and the heavens pulled Lin Ye without a trace, so that a classmate who had just walked by passed by him without being attacked by the cold air.
When he opened the door to the private room, everyone heard the commotion coming from outside.
"What's going on out there?"
"Is something wrong? I'll take a look. β
"Wait for me! β
It's human nature to join in the fun, and anyway, the meal is basically finished, and a large group of people stand up and go outside the hotel to see the situation.
The moment they saw it, they understood what was going on.
Hongmang Lake is glowing!
The red glow seems to come from the bottom of the water, turning the originally blue surface of the water into a pale red. People on the shore are curious to approach, watch or take pictures.
Could it be some natural wonder?
Zhu Tian looked at this scene, but inexplicably had a bad premonition, he took out his mobile phone to inquire about the relevant information of Hongmang Lake, the web page was very slow, and it seemed that the signal was not good.
A chill on his shoulders made him shake twice involuntarily.
When I looked back, it was really Lin Ye, and my dark eyes looked at the calm lake silently, and I didn't even look at Urya next to me!
Heavens: "......" There is a problem with this lake, brother, do you still have the function of a danger alarm?
"It's really a red glow, no wonder this lake is called that. Duan Keyu, who finished pouring the drink in the cup, sighed late.
Hongmang Lake?
A nerve in Zhutian's brain throbbed, and he looked down at the half-text that had been loaded on his phone screen with difficultyβ
"Hongmang Lake, located in the northwest section of the 2.5 Ring Road in Wenning City, is a freshwater natural lake. It is recorded that the lake once had an unknown red glow, hence the name. It is reported that when the red light shines through the lake, all the people in the surrounding radius ......"
What's wrong with everything?
The web page is stuck here, and the words behind it don't load at all.
When the heavens looked up, the spaces representing cell phone signals had all been extinguished.
No signal.
The red light finally broke through the constraints of the water and leaped into the air. The heavens clearly captured this scene the moment they raised their heads, and the spiritual intensity beyond ordinary people allowed him to see the overflowing red center, the pattern that flashed in an instant.
That'sβ
