Chapter 2 Secondary School (Secondary)
No one knows where this Chinese boy called "Hua Zhi" came from, a transfer student who fell from the sky. When he was introduced to everyone by the teacher, the look in his eyes was not shy, but a kind of arrogance.
Well, his appearance is really annoying, and many girls try to talk to him, but find that this person is not as difficult to communicate as they think.
Of course, Hua Zhi himself is a little dissatisfied with the fact that everyone always pronounces his name as "nymphomaniac".
At the beginning of the school year, as usual, there was a physical examination, and the boys took turns to check their shirts and were able to see various shades of skin and arms of different thicknesses. Hua Zhi seemed to rarely participate in such group activities, and suspiciously escaped from the black sweater. His classmates found that his waist was exceptionally slender and his flexibility was not ordinarily good.
"What's the wound on the palm?" The doctor in charge of the examination was an old man with a silver beard and kind eyes.
"Born." Leeches tell the truth.
"Oh." The doctor pushed his thick glasses and observed another scar on his body, "The right flank, I mean, the scar on the right rib, is it also born?" ”
Leech nodded.
"Amazing...... Did you know that this kind of thing is a stigma left by the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus - very rarely found on mortals? The old man was very excited, and the leech saw that his lips trembled, as if he would have kissed those scars if no one else was present.
The old man then talked about several medical terms, which were used to explain the appearance of stigmata from a scientific point of view. I didn't expect the leech to understand, so I discussed it for a while—until the students who were going to check it up one by one got impatient.
This classmate named Hua Zhi has become more and more mysterious.
Leech knew that people would see him that way, and did his best to hide the oddities on his body — such as trying not to wear that big mask and disguising his extra mouthparts as scars. Because he is intolerant of solid food, he only drinks the milk supplied by the school at noon every day – and throws bread and ham to the stray dogs in the school.
Finally one day it was discovered.
"Hey, classmate......" A tall girl suddenly popped out when he was feeding the dog, and the leech didn't notice it.
"Do you do this every day?" The girl put her hand behind her back and asked him, "The food at school is not very good - do you prefer Chinese food?" ”
"No, it's just that the amount of food is relatively small." Leech noticed that although the girl's skeleton was large, it was not ugly, "Didn't you see that I was thin?" "He's going to lie about it.
"Oh, that's unfortunate." The girl said, "But you are very caring...... and she wanted to compliment the leech, but the other party obviously did not appreciate it. The conversation between the two did not continue, and the girl was embarrassed for a while and left.
Leech sighed for a while, if it weren't for the mission, he would have added many friends. But he can't reveal too much information – especially in the face of an enemy who doesn't know where to lurk. At present, the manpower dispatch is not yet in place, and only Leech is responsible for the security work of the entire Sacred Heart School.
Sacred Heart School is an international school located in a mountain city, and its students are mainly children of foreigners and diplomats stationed in China. But this is obviously unable to resist the threat posed by non-human forces, and the leech with the appearance of a human teenager has been sent here.
In addition to the consideration of appearance, the leech's own abilities are also very suitable for this job - as soon as he arrived, he planted his own offspring in forty-seven corners of the campus - the kind of monsters that resemble stone pillars, they can share vision with leeches, and can spray powerful poisonous needles from their mouths, which is more than enough to deal with small monsters.
Because even if a child is killed or injured, it may cause a foreign-related incident, which can only make the leech work harder - dispersing the power of the optic nerve to forty-seven, which is very energy-consuming, and the large amount of plasma hidden by the leech in the dormitory will soon bottom out - ask for material replenishment and approve a note.
As a result, he spends his classes in his sleep forever.
"Nymphomaniac classmates—you can answer this question."
The student at the next table woke up the leech, and the crowd immediately began to laugh - one of the most popular accidents in class. Leech stood up leisurely and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and his classmates immediately prompted him to turn the book to such and such a page.
"Well, the meaning of this ancient text ......"
"This problem can be solved like this......"
It soon became clear that there were very few questions that could stump the kid - he was immediately cited by the teacher as an example: "If you can answer the questions like a nymphomaniac, you can sleep on your stomach!" ”
"Teacher, does that mean I can bring a pillow to class?" The leech actually woke up and raised his hand to ask.
"No, you can't!" The teacher glared at him, considering the strength of the leech to receive chalk with his bare hands, he had to hold the piece of chalk in his hand at the moment into powder.
Exams are not a problem, leeches rarely write, and their handwriting is crooked and slanted like leeches. But he's learned far more than his age from his vampire adoptive father, and he's smart in his own right. In addition, he uses his clone to "copy", so he can control his score almost arbitrarily.
He felt that there were more than 30 students in a class, and his ranking was controlled at about 12, which was the most difficult to attract people's attention. He spent several weeks at Sacred Heart High School.
Even though he barely avoided human contact, he still made a few friends who could chat more than three sentences. But what he didn't expect was that it was mainly girls - or maybe because he was so concerned by girls, the boys didn't want to accept him.
"Go ahead." Leech sat on the chair with one hand on his cheek, and looked at Jason, Brady and the others on the side—"I'm your savior." ”
Jason and Brady and a few other boys are in a gang discussing the strange snake they encountered. I saw Jason chanting God, swearing to God, and making random gestures. But no one believed in the adventure.
The poison needle was stolen by an unknown person, and when the two Jasons returned to the starting point, they saw the corpse of the strange snake and the "Linga" missing. In this way, Jason and the others themselves had to wonder if they were dreaming.
"However, there is such a thing as Linga. Because it's not just people in our grade who saw it, and it is said that some people even took pictures! A fat kid with red cheeks said.
"And such a thing?!" The leech was shocked, probably because he was asleep at the time and didn't have time to react. The photo must be destroyed, and he hurriedly put his ears together to hear if there is any follow-up.
The fat boy looked like a big mouth, and now the children were all around him, in a circle.
"There is also a legend that these Linga, planted by a Chinese with a long beard and nails, can absorb children's - what is the word called - essence, yes, essence!" The fat boy continued, foaming at the mouth.
"Chinese like 'Fu Manchu'?" Someone among the children said.
"Hey, this is Chinese territory...... right?" an unfamiliar voice suddenly came out of the human voice.
No one thought that Hua Zhi, a strange person who was usually silent and silent, would suddenly speak to everyone, and there was an inexplicable excitement in the crowd.
Everyone stared at him in unison, and the leech was actually a little embarrassed, "Although there are not many Chinese in this school, the outside of the wall is full of Oh." Don't you worry about saying bad things about Chinese like this? He had lowered the threat in his words.
But these words really frightened many people, and the student who mentioned "Fu Manchu" immediately apologized to him: "I'm talking about fictional characters, and I don't mean anything else......"
The leech was excited just now, and he was about to quietly return to his seat when he woke up, but someone stopped him.
"classmate, what do you think of Lin Jia's thing?" It was Jason who was questioning.
"Oh, I guess it's a rare mushroom." Leech quickly came up with an explanation in his head, "You all know that there is a mandala grass in Europe, and that thing grows like a child." But it's actually ...... plants."
"Does China have such a thing?" Someone asked him.
"Yes, Shou Wu and some other tuber plants have been recorded in human form." Leeches talk about these plants by their Latin binomial names — but the students apparently don't understand.
"You're amazing—" More than one person shouted.
"So-so." Leech waved his hand, but the pleasure of being admired was really useful.
"Flower, if we go on an adventure in the woods of the back mountains, would you like to participate?" Jason asked him.
Leech knows that he and several of his best friends are addicted to detective adventure novels, and this kind of nonsense will obviously increase his difficulties, and he must stop them before he can stop them.
"Not really." Leech said categorically, "The teacher has a rule that you are not allowed to go there without permission...... but as soon as this came out, he regretted it. Teenagers, it is the time to be anti-authoritarian, let alone teachers, the president of the United States can't suppress them.
"You're such a good student." Everyone laughed, and the classroom was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
"Yes, you see me like this, I am weak and sick, and I will definitely not be able to go with you." Leech said.
"Difficult... Could it be tuberculosis? Someone muttered.
This is one of the most fatal diseases, and a few timid students immediately moved away a few steps. Leech smiled bitterly: "Haven't we all gone through a medical examination...... I'm just not moving. ”
"But you seem to know a lot about mysteries...... "Jason pleaded with him again, "we're just going to see, and we're not really in any danger." ”
Looking at the earnest eyes of several people, the leech was not very soft-hearted. He originally wanted to blackmail them and make them retreat, but he was somewhat embarrassed to engage in such a thing as "exchanging interests" with children.
"Promise you too, but let me take command of the team. That's the only request I made. Leech said, "Otherwise, don't talk about it." ”
Jason and the others looked at each other, and finally said in unison: "Okay." ”
"When I say 'command', I mean complete obedience like an army, can you do it?" Leech emphasized again.
Many of the teenagers here come from military families, so they naturally know the meaning of these words. But in the end, he agreed, and Leech sighed to himself. After class, Leech hastily packed his schoolbag to leave, and a girl who knew him well asked, "Go see your brother?" ”
Leech raised his eyebrows: "You think he is my brother?" ”
The girl had noticed Leech talking to a child in the elementary school on several occasions, so she decided that the man was his brother.
"Otherwise, it's another relative, but the child has white hair...... Is he also Chinese? The girl asked.
"Oh, he's a little worse than me." "He has had albinism since he was a child, and he can't be cured." He's my cousin. "Because the English word for relatives is extremely lacking, the other party can't figure out what kind of relatives the child is a leech.
"Your brother is very beautiful!" The girl said that there seemed to be a star in her eyes, "Although I think you are also good-looking, but ......"
Leech didn't care much about other people's judgments, but said, "That's probably because his mother is a beauty." ”
"I guess you must love your brother very much." The girl said.
"How so?" This speculation surprised the leech.
"You give chewing gum to that kid every time......"
Leech thought to herself: "This girl is powerful enough, she has been bumped into every time she connects, and this girl must have followed him for a long time!" But he didn't show any emotion on his face, and only asked, "Lygia, what is your family...... Do you work in intelligence? ”
The black-haired girl in red smiled mysteriously: "It's a ...... But it's basically a liberal intelligence agency. I grew up knowing how to avoid anyone's surveillance and follow people's movements silently. ”
I don't think this Sacred Heart Middle School is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Leech is a layman for spy activities, and it seems to be too contemptuous of humans. will be the way of this girl named Ligia.
"Then why did you reveal your identity to me?" Leeches are curious.
"I guess you're on a mission, but I don't care about that." "I'm more interested in you personally. ”
Leech frowned and said, "Which one is interested?" ”
"It's not clear." "Because you're cute and mysterious." I will only know what kind of attachment I will have to you – as a close friend or as a lover – only after getting to know you better as a person. ”
Although the girl was only fourteen years old, her speech was direct and funny, and the leeches could not help but have a good impression of him. He nodded and said, "Very well, I do have some little things to do in this middle school - of course I can't tell you about it." Because, it is very dangerous and can even endanger your life. ”
"I know, I can smell dangerous smells lately – that's my instinct." "We have made a verbal agreement that I will not get in the way of your work—ignore it, but I can stick to you with your permission, shall I?" Her lips were slightly upturned, and her beautiful eyes were lightly opened, an expression that was very pleasant, and Leech thought that it was also trained.
But after all, he is a youkai with far more senses than humans, and can detect that the other party is indeed innocent - and continues to release a pheromone that is kind of courteous to the opposite sex - of course, there is no word "pheromone" at this time.
So he readily agreed.
"So that kid is actually an intelligence agent too?" Lygia smiled and asked, "But the way you pass information between you is too old-fashioned, so it's easy to be targeted." With that, he conducted one-on-one espionage training on leeches. Before I knew it, an hour had passed.
Leech hurriedly said, "Lygia, I have to go to see my brother alone this time." Next time I have a chance, I'll play with you again......"
"Go ahead." Lygia put her fingers together and swept him away, saying goodbye.
