22. Surprising compromise

The heart beats fast.

Knock knock.

The feet were inexplicably weak, and the back of the neck, which should have been hot and sweaty, was cool at this time.

What is that......

She wasn't mistaken, right?

The boy was still licking his fingers contentedly, one by one to clean the blood from his fingers.

Jasmine's legs were softening, and her ears were occupied by the sizzle of sucking fingertips.

It seems that the secret that has been haunted for a long time is like an onion that has been peeled off, round and round, slowly revealing the most essential thing at the core.

Zhang Xiaofalcon he ......

When Jasmine reacts, her first instinct is to run away.

Walk.

You have to go to the police.

The contents of that bucket were creepy.

That hand stood quietly in the iron bucket like that, and Zhang Xiaofalcon actually lowered his head to lick the severed fingers of the severed hand that had already stiffened and were bloodstained.

Definitely not a horror movie.

She was scared, and she felt like her brain was being drained.

Jasmine ran fast, her feet were weak, and she ran down the silent and gloomy staircase in a panic.

"Ahh

Poof.

Her left foot accidentally stepped on the empty staircase, and the sole of her foot slipped, and she fell on all fours on the stairs on the fourth floor.

Pain!

Jasmine looked down and saw that her unprotected knee had been ground into a superficial wound by the hard ground, bleeding.

Even so, she didn't dare to stay too long, and immediately got up and ran downstairs without taking a breath.

"It shouldn't have been discovered, right?" ...... Jasmine touched her little beating heart, and held her hand on the guardrail in the lobby of the teaching building, panting heavily.

The back has long been soaked in cold sweat.

The scorching sun exuded a hot air in the sky, the hot air mass seemed to be frozen, and a cheerful and radical march sounded in the empty campus.

The music fluttered in my ears.

In the playground, the principal's impassioned speech echoed through the microphone.

Jasmine was cold, the spicy pain was clearly transmitted to the brain along the nerves in the knees, the vision was festering, the blurred white points of light, the overlapping shadows of the trees under the light color, and the scene was shattered in an instant.

The voice in my ear was smiling.

"Find, search, find, find, if you can't find it today, you will continue to look for it tomorrow. 」

"I can't get enough of it, I want to eat it. 」

"I'm so hungry, I want to eat. 」

It will drink human blood and eat human flesh.

It's a monster.

Chen Chen found that Jasmine was not in the team.

From the moment she noticed that she was gone, she began to look around, only to see Jasmine stumbling from outside the school road into the playground, and instead of returning to the team, she walked towards him with a strange and stiff expression.

The teacher next to me noticed the girl's strange appearance, and asked about it but didn't get a response.

Jasmine stared at him as if she was stunned.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

When she saw the wound on Jasmine's knee, his face suddenly darkened, and the girl staggered to his side, grabbed his arm tightly, as if grasping a driftwood under the water, and never let go.

"Chen Chen, accompany me...... Accompany me to a place. The girl's face was terribly pale, her hazy apricot eyes were covered with a thin black mist, and the depths were filled with bottomless fear.

Her voice trembled, and she could barely finish a sentence.

"Teacher, she is not feeling well, so I accompanied her to the infirmary. ”

Chen Chen's old class frowned unconsciously, this female classmate was very unfamiliar, and she actually grabbed his student in front of everyone.

The teacher wanted to speak, but inadvertently met the young man's dark eyes, and his tense and unhappy expression suddenly relaxed.

"Go ahead. ”

When Chen Chen helped Jasmine out of the playground, Jasmine suddenly used force to forcibly pull his arm and walk towards the school gate.

"Jasmine, where are you going? You're hurt! I'll take you to the infirmary and have the teacher disinfect and bandage!"

"No, I'm going to the police station, looking for the police, yes, going to the police. ”

Chen Chen grabbed her hand with his backhand, Jasmine's love was on the verge of collapse, he sniffed out a strange atmosphere, and immediately pulled her into the shade of the tree on the side of the road.

"Go to the police, be quick, or it'll be too late...... No, it's okay to find a teacher, let's go to the teacher quickly!"

"Jasmine!"

Chen Chen held her restless and fearful face with both hands, and forcibly pushed her face towards him-

"Jasmine, what's wrong with you! Why are you looking for the police?"

"I saw ......"

"What do you see?"

The girl's eyes lost focus, her pupils dilated, and she suddenly covered her ears and screamed nervously.

"Don't pester me anymore! Get out of here, get out!"

Chen Chen was stunned by the sudden change, and a vague sense of foreboding floated in his heart.

"Jasmine, don't be afraid. The young man coaxed in a soft voice, carefully hugged the girl, held her head close to his heart, and encircled her in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll protect Jasmine and tell me what just happened, okay?"

As soon as Jasmine closes her eyes, all kinds of messy and broken images emerge, the boy with freckles in glasses as thick as a wine bottle, they have known each other for almost three years, and they have shared a lot of happiness and laughter in the past three years.

How could he be-

"I had just gone to the classroom and saw him kneeling on the ground licking blood...... There was also a hand in the tin bucket that was watching. ”

As if she was afraid that Chen Chen would not believe it, she raised her head excitedly to look at him, and grabbed the joints of Chen Chen's arms and turned white.

"Let's go call the police!Someone must be dying again!" Jasmine's face showed the fragility of pain and hatred, "I can't let it continue to kill, I must catch it...... Damn!"

The young man's little finger moved slightly, and his thick eyelashes slightly covered his eyes, also covering his affection.

"Jasmine, it's not that simple. "His girl's ideas are sometimes too naΓ―ve.

No, it can't be said that.

This should be on everyone's mind.

The order of the world constructs the rules of the game.

In the human world, the police symbolize justice and bravery, but once they are outside the rules, order can only become a joke shackle.

Could that monster not be aware of Jasmine's breath?

The boy coldly raised his head and looked at the lonely school building at the end of the school road, and did not look away for a long time.

Side by side by the long window, something seemed to be looking back at him.

Chen Chen told Jasmine that everything must be evidence-based.

If there is no evidence, rushing to the police station to file a case will only be regarded as a child's prank.

"Did anyone else see it but Jasmine?" asked the young man in a voice.

Who would believe a child who said he saw someone on their knees eating someone?

Between the two cases in the school, maybe you will believe it.

"If the police searched the school and still didn't find any clues, did Jasmine think about the cost of filing a false report?"

"Jasmine, don't be afraid. Chen Chen looked at her gently, Jasmine's expression gradually calmed down, and she quietly lowered her thick and slender eyelashes without saying a word.

The young man sighed, raised his hand and stroked her soft face, "Let's go home first, okay?" ”

Go home?

"No, you must go......" Jasmine didn't finish speaking, her head was forcibly lifted, the young man's eyes seemed to be immersed in the black glass ball of clear water, his gaze met, and a strange feeling flooded in his chest of fear and heaviness.

He tilted his head in confusion.

If the killer hadn't been arrested, there's a good chance the victim would have appeared!

No, gotta go home.

"Good. Jasmine heard herself reply.

――

Jasmine's school bag contains valuables such as bus cards and wallets, and to be honest, she really doesn't dare to go into the classroom again, it's a hell of a nightmare.

But Jasmine's schoolbag was still left in the classroom, and she didn't have the courage to get it, so she had to ask Chen Chen to go upstairs for her.

Jasmine was standing and waiting in the lobby of the teaching building, when Chen Chen's figure disappeared into the corridor, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the side building, she thought that Chen Chen couldn't come down so quickly, turned her head to look sideways, and was so frightened that she almost stopped breathing-

On the inside of the dark corridor, a figure walked out, first black sneakers and shoes, school uniform and black pants, and slowly revealed his whole body.

Jasmine's head exploded with a thud, and her body couldn't help but take a few steps back, against the hard and cold marble pillar.

There is no way back.

Afraid of what comes.

Zhang Xiaofalcon he ...... Why does it happen?

Chen Chen, Chen Chen, come back quickly!

She shouted silently in her heart, and her pale face looked even more bloody, and even her lips turned white and trembled slightly.

Zhang Xiaofalcon casually swept Jasmine's pretended to be calm, his long thick coat wrapped tightly around him, and greeted Jasmine naturally.

"Jasmine, why are you here? aren't you going to the athletic meet?"

"I, I was feeling a little unwell, so I asked the teacher for leave. ”

The freckled boy sighed, his red lips reflected the white brushed face, he looked very weird, he raised his eyes unhurriedly, staring nonchalantly at the position of the upper left floor, Jasmine glanced at his gaze, and felt that Zhang Xiaofalcon seemed to be looking in the direction of their classroom.

It seems to be observing something......

"Are you feeling unwell, or I'll accompany you to the infirmary." ”

Jasmine shook her head a little too much, trying her best to control her trembling and limp legs, even though the heat surrounded her, but the chill up her spine jumped up, and she rubbed her arms uneasily.

"No, no, I asked my teacher for leave and said I was going home. ”

"Go home?" Zhang Xiaofalcon's pale and colorless face had a strange expression.

"It's okay, right? ”

Very ordinary care greetings.

Jasmine avoided his eyes with some weakness, thinking about a reason, but heard the young man wearing black-rimmed glasses say understatemently: "I seemed to hear Jasmine's voice in the classroom just now, and I thought it was strange and came down to take a look." ”

A nerve in my brain snapped and snapped, and something splashed a withered flower in a dark corner.

Insects and ants crawled on top of the rotting and smelly blood, and flies buzzed around the hands that emitted fishy gas.

All sorts of weird and terrifying images came to her mind, like lingering demons.

Really...... Or was it discovered?

The heart was beating violently, blocked in the throat and eyes, and it was difficult to breathe, and there was an atmosphere of panic and anxiety in the air, and Jasmine's thoughts were blank for a long time, and her tongue seemed to be frozen by I, and she couldn't make a sound.

After a while, I heard myself squeeze out half a sentence with difficulty-

"No, I've been on the playground all the time. ”

The young man's gaze was chilling, staring straight at her, the red lips that contrasted with the pale face were slightly hooked, he stared at Jasmine intently, and suddenly said softly: "Jasmine, you didn't lie to me? Let me ask again, did you ...... in this building just now?"

He was asking.

But with an interrogative tone, it seems that Jasmine will definitely tell it all.

The eyes hidden under the spectacle lenses seemed to carry some kind of deadly magic, like a bottomless pit, lightly taking away the soul of the person.

"I ......" No, I can't say -

Two different voices appeared in her heart.

Haunting and chaotic.

"Jasmine, don't call the police, let's go home first. 」

Yes, go home......

To go home.

"Did you ...... in this building just now?"

I'm here.

And they all saw it.
