Chapter 9: The Black-Eyed Child
At the ball, most people wear masks that are nothing more than the kind of half-face masks that only cover the eyes and the bridge of the nose, and due to the trend of movies, there are also one or two people who wear the masks of V monsters, and there are not many such people, after all, this is not a Halloween ball.

However, Fang Ting noticed that a person sitting in the corner, judging from his figure, was male, and he directly pasted a printed photo on his face - the photo was a child's face, with two black eyes as big as beads without any whites of the eyes, and the eye sockets were all black, looking gloomy and scary.
Faced with such a strange "photo mask", Fang Ting remembered an urban legend about a black-eyed child.
One night in 2012, six women were speeding on a high road in the suburbs of California, USA, and they told the patrol police for the same reasons; They saw a small child without the whites of his eyes. Since then, the United States has suffered almost all natural disasters that year, including tornadoes, wildfires, droughts, hurricanes, etc., with losses of 10 billion natural disasters and 140 billion other man-made disasters.
Many people believe that the black-eyed boy is actually a prophet of disaster.
Fang Ting stared at the man curiously, but from a distance, the man's eyes were completely black, and there was no reflection at all.
Fang Ting unconsciously sat closer, and was about ten meters away from the strange man, only then did she make sure that the person really didn't even have a piercing of the eyes, so she covered her face with the photo.
Can he see it like that? When Fang Ting was thinking like this, the strange man suddenly took out a pen and paper, and he didn't know what he was drawing.
However, the direction he was looking at was clearly facing Fang Ting!
Fang Ting looked left and right, and then moved away.
The strange man's head moved away from her direction again, and he stretched out his hand to compare in Fang Ting's direction, as if he was painting a portrait.
At this time, a male classmate tiptoed over, as if he was deliberately playing tricks on the strange man, and took a drink that the strange man had put on the table, and replaced it with another glass of unknown liquid.
I saw that the strange man stood up and approached the male classmate step by step, perhaps because the black-eyed boy's "mask" was really terrifying, and the male classmate took a few steps back.
The strange man was not angry, but immediately snatched his drink from the male classmate's hand, then rolled up the part under the photo's mask, revealing a mouth, and looked up to drink the drink.
The strange man drank something, put the photo mask back to its original appearance, sat back in his seat, and slowly drew on Fang Ting.
Fang Ting really couldn't suppress her curiosity, and finally sat down next to the person and asked; "Excuse me, what the hell are you drawing?"
She stared at his "eyes", still the dead black of the "black-eyed child", and even if they were facing each other, she could not see any flaws in the distance of less than ten centimeters—there was not even a small hole in the photograph mask.
How could he see it?
The strange man didn't answer, but just handed over the drawing paper, and Fang Ting was suddenly amazed.
It's not that she's suspicious, it turns out that the weirdo painted her, and it's her without a mask, the degree of lifelike is comparable to a photo, no, it should be a photo from a famous teacher, otherwise how can it show a three-dimensional reality on a plane?
What's more, she is wearing a junior high school uniform.
Did he know her in junior high school?
Who the hell is he?
Fang Ting glared, and reached out to take off the strange man's "mask".
The strange man deftly dodged the blow, then turned and ran, slamming open the escape door and running down the stairs.
Fang Ting chased after her, and the two passed by the water tower and ran wildly towards Union Road.
It's just that a pair of two-inch women's shoes on Fang Ting's feet are not good for running and jumping, and the strange man's movements are bizarre and vigorous, not like a person who is blocked from sight at all, when Fang Ting ran to the corner, the strange man has been canceled in the night.
Fang Ting had an indescribable sense of depression.
In a sense, she's also a weirdo, not because she's doing something spectacular, it's because she can't control her curiosity about weirdos.
Despite the phrase that curiosity kills cats, she has learned a lot in junior high school and learned too much. But just as a tiger eats meat and a cow eats grass, animals have their nature, and so do humans. So Fang Ting knew that she couldn't quit this addiction, and she didn't deliberately suppress it.
She decides that she must find out the true identity of the "black-eyed boy"!
Fang Ting looked down at the drawing paper that she had been holding tightly in her hand, she followed the clue that she had been crumpled by herself, and the touch of her hand back and forth on the drawing paper suddenly made her realize something.
In order to verify her thoughts, Fang Ting had just returned to the dormitory, and hurriedly walked to the common kitchen.
She turned on the stove and carefully baked the paper in both hands—she was not in the habit of smoking, and she couldn't find a lighter for a while, so she had to use this method.
When Fang Ting saw that the drawings gradually appeared in black letters, horizontally above her Xiao Xiang, she knew that she had guessed correctly.
The "black-eyed kids" have long used dilute sulfuric acid to write on paper, and since dilute sulfuric acid is transparent, the effect is like invisible ink. When the paper is placed on the fire, the water of dilute sulfuric acid evaporates and becomes concentrated sulfuric acid, which is a dehydrating agent, which is enough to extract the moisture of the cellulose of the paper into carbon, and at this time, the font will become visible black.
"Ah" Fang Ting screamed softly, her distance was not well controlled, and one part was directly blackened, and she couldn't see what the words were.
Seeing that all the black letters had appeared, Fang Ting hurriedly picked them up and took a closer look.
The black characters are read from left to right, and then from top to bottom; "Long time no see, Fang Ting, I made a little joke with you. I'm ##, you may have forgotten me, but I believe there's one person you will never forget - Mu An. If you want a little revenge, wait tomorrow at midnight at the bottom of the Gentleman's Tower, and a surprise is guaranteed. ”
Fang Ting secretly said that the place that came out of the dark was the part behind "I am .....", could it be that the person did it on purpose?
Think about it, who will reveal their identity in this situation? The only thing she can be sure of now is that the person knows her, he also knows Mu An, and more importantly, he knows about his holiday with Mu An. Fang Ting speculated.
Revenge? Fang Ting thought of the humiliation she had suffered in junior high school, of course she was not without hatred in her heart, but when she thought of Mu An's courage to take responsibility after doing something wrong, she was a little shaken.
But what exactly is the so-called "small revenge"? If it's really just "small..... Fang Ting felt as if a wooden stick was knocking on her weakness in her heart, and that irrepressible curiosity was like jumping on a trampoline, up and down in her heart.
Tomorrow, she must go to the appointment. She knows herself well.
