(More than 9,000 words of chapters each support a variety of ~~~!! Thank you so much, thank you so much!! )

In the days that followed, as soon as I was free, I ran away with me. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and Ximin's girl, I don't know what I'm thinking, every time I see me and Death together, she leans over.

At first, I wondered if this girl had fallen in love with the stupid person and died, after all, that kid did have a powerful charm to confuse an ignorant girl just from the outside, but that was only if the other party hadn't heard of the legends about the death in school, but Xi Min probably wouldn't have heard of it. If she dared to lean over after hearing about the legends of the Death, then she was indeed very suspicious, but every time that girl approached the Death, it was almost always when I was with him, so alas, it is also possible that the girl's approach was purely to anger me.

This speculation seems to be a bit "self-esteem", after all, people are school girls, why do you want to fight with me? However, it seems that this is really the case. And, the worst thing is that every time that girl approaches, I can meet her unlucky touch in the next second.

For example, at this moment, a scene flashed in front of my eyes: Xi Min, who was walking not far from me and the vanished, suddenly tripped over a small pebble under his feet and fell heavily to the ground. Her appearance is really as embarrassed as she is.

I quickly turned my head and said to Xi Min, who was following me and Death at the moment, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, be careful of the stones under your feet, and be careful of falling. ”

"Yun Jie, you crow's mouth, this is the 18th time you have cursed me, but I tell you, this time I won't do what you want! Even if there were stones on this road, they were the kind of small stones that were so small that it was impossible to trip over me, so I wouldn't be tripped up. ”

"Bang", before Xi Min's words were finished, he suddenly tripped over a small pebble under his feet, and the whole person fell to the ground in embarrassment, making a loud noise.

I sighed and paid my respects to the little stone at Ximin's feet.

"Are you alright?" Death, who was standing beside me, rushed over again, helped Ximin up from the ground, and asked with concern.

I looked at the two of them as they approached each other, and suddenly I felt another pain in my eyes.

I quickly closed my eyes and prayed that the pain would leave as usual, but who knows, this time the pain lasted for a short time.

I sighed and felt that something was wrong, so although I was not very happy, I decided to go to the health room again after school.

Finally, after school, I was about to go to the health room, but I was unexpectedly stopped by Ximin's girl halfway.

I raised an eyebrow and looked at her in bewildermentβ€”I didn't think she had come to me out of the blue, to make friends with me.

"Yun Jie" Sure enough, as soon as Xi Min spoke, her tone was as if I owed millions of huge debts, "Is it because you are making trouble behind my back that you made me so unlucky?" I warn you, don't go too far! ”

Warn me?

This girl, even if I really owe her millions, please speak in a better tone. Haven't you heard that the one who owes debts now is the uncle?

I gave her a blank look, and I didn't plan to pay attention to this girl's unreasonable troubles at all, I just wanted to go to Rou Yuexin quickly and ask her to help me check it, hoping that the eye problem would not worsen.

"Yun Jie, did you hear what I said?" Seeing that I ignored her, Xi Min angrily grabbed my arm, "I don't care what little actions you did behind your back, but if you do this to me again, I will definitely not be polite!" ”

I frowned, my eyes hit me with pain again, and I didn't have the heart to deal with the sudden appearance of Xi Min and her unreasonable questioning.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" I rubbed my eyes and said, "But I'm sorry, I still have something to do, can you let me go first?" ”

With that, I dodged and planned to leave.

"Yun Jie, you make it clear before leaving!" Xi Min grabbed my arm and said.

Speak clearly? But the problem is, I don't have anything to say.

I frowned, enduring the pain in my eyes, and wished I could shake off Xi Min's entanglement and go to the infirmary immediately.

Woo woo... There has never been a moment when the health room feels like heaven and so cute.

"It has nothing to do with me when you encounter those unlucky things, what do you tell me to say clearly?" I say.

"If it has nothing to do with you, then why do you always know in advance what bad luck is going to happen to me every time?" Xi Min didn't believe my words at all. "Even if you guess, you can't guess so accurately every time, right? Unless you have the superpower to foresee the future, as written in the novel, how can you do that? Superpowers, though? How can an ordinary girl like you have it! ”

Xi Min said as she snorted through her nose, her good-looking face covered with a disdainful expression, making her whole person no longer look so beautiful.

I could only shake my head weakly: I'm really sorry, my ordinary girl just has the superpowers you said! …… I'd love to tell this girl, but ...... Alas, this is certainly impossible.

"Believe it or not, I really didn't do anything." I said as I tried to get around the girl again.

"Do you want to escape, Yun Jie? You don't dare to confront me, so you want to run away? "Xi Min directly 'annotated' my anxious behavior to leave

Alas......

I'm speechless, this girl can't have 'victim paranoia', right?

"Ximin, even if you stop me, it's useless, I said I haven't done it, I haven't done it! As for why I know what is going to happen every time you are unlucky, I think someone else would have guessed the same - after all, there is hardly anyone in school who doesn't think that good things are going to happen when you're close to death. ”

I said as I tried to get around the girl. The pain in my eyes made me have no intention of continuing to stay, explaining to this girl some of the things that are not there.

"You ......" The angry expression on Ximin's face slowly turned to melancholy, and I guess this girl must have remembered what the people at school had said about the death, so while she was stunned, I turned around and hurried towards the health room.

As soon as I entered the infirmary, Rou Yuexin gave me a detailed examination, but as usual, although she knew that the pain in my eyes was related to my ability to foresee, she could not solve the problem.

"Yun Jie, your current situation is not suitable for using your superpowers to foresee the future, if you continue to use it, your eyes will definitely hurt more and more." Rou Yuexin looked at me and muttered dissatisfiedly.

"I don't want to waste my foresight on unnecessary things." I said aggrievedly, "But this superpower is not something I can control if I want to." Every time the ability to foresee appears, it often does not represent a good thing. ”

I let out a long sigh and talked to Rou Yuexin about being stopped by Xi Min just now: "If it weren't for my foresight to see her unlucky every time, where would I get into trouble with being entangled by that girl!" I said, "What's more, that girl hurt my eyes so much!" I rubbed my aching eyes and muttered discontentedly.

"Click" sound...... At that moment, there was a knock at the door of the health room.

"Who is it?" Rou Yuexin and I glanced at each other, then reached out and slowly opened the door to the health room.

It's just that there is anyone at the empty doorway?

"Sister Rouyue, the sound just now should be the sound of the door closing, right?" I turned around, looked at Rou Yuexin behind me, and asked in a daze.

"Maybe you didn't close the door just now, but now it's closed when the wind blows." Rou Yuexin patted me on the shoulder and said. "Rest assured, our conversation should not be heard by others, after all, there are very few students here in normal times, not to mention that now that school is over, where will anyone come to the health room?"

"Hmm." I nodded.

Habits are such a terrible thing.

After being inexplicably pestered by Ximin's girl for a few days, I suddenly didn't see her behind me for two or three days, and I felt weird.

It's really strange, the girl who is looking for trouble for you all day long, suddenly one day, even when she sees you walking head-on, she will immediately turn around and leave!

What the hell is that girl doing? …… But no matter what she's thinking, I haven't done anything bad to that girl in the first place, so I don't have to worry about anything. The thing I need to worry about now is that the school festival is coming soon.

Originally, the school festival was supposed to be a very lively and joyful event.,But this year, I was elected as an executive member.,Responsible for the activities of the school festival.。 Now it's all right...... I burst into tears - based on the experience of my predecessors, this will not be an easy job!

In less than a day, all my small uneasiness became a reality.

The group of guys who were sent by the student union to help set up the stage of the school festival were less than an hour of work, and they slipped away one by one while I was busy.

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it...... Is there a mistake?,I'm the executive committee.,I'm not the almighty superwoman.,So much work.,How could I do it alone before the school festival?

There's really no way.,I had to exert the power of the executive committee - catch the students in the school to work.,According to the ancient school festival regulations,Every executive committee member,Have the right to ask any student in the school,Help do the work about the school festival.,And the students have the obligation to obey the orders of the executive committee.。

Although this old rule seems to have never been used by an executive member, this year let me start with a start.

I grabbed a passing student on campus and said, "Hello, this classmate, I'm the executive committee member of this school festival, and now I need your help to build a stage, please ......"

"Oops, my stomach hurts so much all of a sudden, executive member, I'm sorry, I'll go to the toilet first......" Before I could finish speaking, the student clutched his stomach and hurried away.

Alas...... Stomach pain is often sudden, and there is no way to do it, so I have to count him and I both unlucky!

I had to look for my next target.

"This classmate,I'm the executive committee member of this school festival.,There's a job to build a stage that needs your help......"

"Hello executive member, but I have a bit of an urgent matter at home and need to rush back immediately, so can you please let me go first?"

"I'm sorry!" I quickly turned sideways to make a way, and then watched as the classmate didn't even listen to my apology, and ran away as fast as he could.

Alas...... It seems that the urgent matter at his family is really urgent.

In desperation, I could only continue to look for the next target. It's just, hey, in the originally lively campus, why did no one disappear all of a sudden?

I blinked my eyes as I looked at the campus that had suddenly become empty...... After 30 seconds...... Boom, a wave of anger rushed straight into my head.

This group of guys, they didn't hear me say that they needed helpers to build the stage, so they all ran away, right?

Damn it! Damn it! Damn bastards! I kind of know why there isn't an executive committee exercising its power to delegate the students in the school to do the work - because there will be no student who will listen to you and obediently come and help.

What can I do now?

I was wandering around, not knowing what to do to solve the problem in front of me, when suddenly, a figure flashed in front of me.

"This classmate" I hurried over as if I saw a life-saving straw. No matter what excuse he has this time,,You must leave him to help.,"Hello,I'm the executive committee member of the school festival.,Please help build the stage."

Before I finished my words, as soon as I looked up and saw who was standing in front of me, I made a "coo-dong" sound, and the rest of the words were automatically swallowed back into my stomach.

Perished.

With a "flutter", my original hope was like a balloon punctured by a needle, and all of a sudden it leaked.

"Why are you here," I let out a long sigh and let go of my grip on Extinction.

"I'm a student at this school, would it be weird to be in school?" Annihilation looked at me and asked, "Why are you a little weird, and you haven't been following me today?" ”

Alas, I didn't follow you, so I was called weird? What kind of logic is this man? But forget it, this guy's brain structure is different from normal people.

"Forget it, I don't have time to talk to you, I'm going to find someone to help build the stage!" I say.

"Set the stage?" Death looked at me and said, "Is that the stage of the school festival you just said?" ”

"yes, yes, are you available to help?" I opened my eyes wide and took a big step closer to him, looking at him expectantly, although this guy looked a little weird, maybe he would have a good heart and would like to help set up the stage!

"Alas...... I'm sorry, but I don't seem to ...... There was no time. Death looked at my expectant face, refused, and stepped back step by step.

Alas, black lines slipped down my forehead one by one.

This guy really made an excuse to refuse.

"You're all like that!" I finally couldn't help it and exclaimed angrily, "The guys sent by the student council to help." They all only think about being lazy, and they don't want to work at all; I want to find a few classmates to help, but every time I haven't finished speaking, I find a reason to slip away! ”

I glared at Death in exasperation, and the latter's response was to look at me with a confused handsome face.

"Damn, do you think you can get away with it by pretending to be innocent in front of me? Please, I'm an executive member, and I obviously have the right to ask any student in the school to help, but you all think of reasons to refuse, you guys are really too much! I said loudly, "The school festival is not my business alone.,Why am I the only one running around?" ”

"That...... You ......" Death reached out and tried to pat me on the shoulder, but halfway through, he finally retracted his hand, "I'm sorry." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you will only say sorry one by one!" As soon as I heard these three words, I became even more angry, "Why apologize?" Because the reasons you are saying are all false, and not wanting to work is true, right? What's going on at home? What stomach aches...... Damn fellow, why are you doing this to me! ”

I grabbed Death's shoulders and yelled, "You guy is even more excessive! Why don't you have time to help out when you have time to play 'disappear'? You have so much time and energy, can't you do something useful? What do you do all day long, besides escaping responsibility? ”

"Alas, I'm ......," said Death, about to say something, but I interrupted him again.

"Forget it, I'm wrong to put my hopes in guys like you. Instead of being angry at you here, it's better to hurry up and solve the problem! With that, I let go of the Vanish.

Behind me, the shouts of "Hey, Hey, Hey......" were completely ignored by me as air.

It wasn't until the afternoon that I finally found a few students to help set up the stage with the help of the student council. It's just that there are still not enough manpower, and because of the previous delay, the work process has been left far behind. I thought I would ask everyone to stay and work overtime at night, but before I could say anything, everyone disbanded and went home when school time came.

Alas, three black lines slid down my forehead...... I guess the only thing I can do right now is pray that these guys will show up on time tomorrow and come and help.

After tidying things up a bit, I decided to go to dinner first and then come back and continue my work alone. However, when I returned to school half an hour later, I found that an unlikely person was actually squatting on the playground where the stage was built, with his head down, working very seriously.

"Extinction?" I wasn't quite sure by his name.

He seemed startled, and after a while he turned back and said, "You...... There you are? I thought you were all ...... They all left, thinking that maybe I could help something, so I took advantage of the free night to ...... Just come here. Death said as he reached out and scratched the back of his head.

On the school's empty playground, the street lamps emit a dim glow.

Extinction looked up at me, a pair of eyes as bright as jewels on his fair face, revealing a soft and shy gaze. I can assure you that if it weren't for the dim streetlights at the moment, I would have been able to see the faint flush on his delicate face, like a freshly picked strawberry, with the best sweet and sour taste in the world......

Belch...... What am I thinking? What strawberries, what delicious taste...... What do these things have to do with this guy in front of you?

"That'...... Well, you're here to help, thank you...... Thank you. "I bowed my head, not wanting my embarrassment to be discovered by the Vanished.

"Well,You're right.,The school festival makes things for all of us.,It shouldn't be your responsibility alone.,I'm sorry...... I can't really come to help during the day, so I can only come at night. Death said apologetically, "I didn't mean to be irresponsible. ”

The eyes that looked at me as he spoke were serious. In the dim light, the delicate face of the vanishing was dyed with a faint halo. It makes people really look like an angel, holy and lovely.

"Let's do it together." I walked up to him and was about to squat down to work with him, but who knew that he suddenly jumped up from the ground and jumped nearly a meter away from me.

"You...... Don't come near me! Death looked at me defensively.

I blinked, stunned at the guy's exaggerated reaction. Come on, I'm not a superbug, does this guy need such an exaggerated reaction to avoid me?

The slightest affection for him that had finally risen up "swished" like a leaky balloon, and deflated.

"You...... You guy, do you know that your behavior is very annoying? As soon as my temper came up, I didn't care if the guy liked it or not, and walked up to him again, and reached out and grabbed his arm to prevent him from walking away, "Am I a superbug?" Am I that scary? Damn, even if I'm really scary, you don't need to be so obvious, right? Do you know that it hurts people to do this? ”

"Right...... I'm sorry, but if I don't, it hurts even more. "Death struggled, trying hard to shake off my hand.

"What do you mean?" I frowned, "You guy, you don't want me to get close, and you want some good reason." What hurts more...... This kind of bad excuse, how old is it to deceive children? ”

"I didn't, what I said was true. Yun Jie, let go of me, or you will be unlucky. Extinction shouted at me anxiously.

"Hmph, I don't believe what those girls are making up. Anything that gets close to you will make you unlucky, how can there be such a thing in the world! I waved my hand, not believing the rumors at all.

"It's true, they're guessing it's true, because it's the superpower I have - make yourself lucky and make others unlucky!" Annihilation said loudly.

"Superpowers?" I stared blankly at the vanishing.

Time seemed to stop at that moment.

"I'm scaring you, right?" Death looked at me and said timidly, "Actually, I am also very distressed, but such superpowers have never brought me happiness. I just feel so painful at the thought of making the people around me unlucky because of my relationship. If you let yourself be lucky by making the people around you unlucky, then what is the use of such luck? At the end of the day, I'm just going to be the one I dislike and hate by everyone. So, you say, what's the point of me living in this world? Just thinking about it makes me want to ......"

"Can't wait to disappear?" I took his words. At this moment, I think I can understand the feeling of this guy wanting to disappear from this world all day long.

Sometimes, luck is not necessarily a good thing, especially when one's luck is exchanged for the misfortune of the people around you, and it does not make people feel happy.

It occurred to me that I had learned during the time of the Passing Away; He always acts alone, and he doesn't seem to have any friends, and then I think of a few good friends who were all away from him at that time, and although those people in the school didn't know that guy's superpowers, but bad luck happened a lot, and they would inevitably associate with him, and naturally they would stay away from him one by one

I turned my head to look at Death, and although I never felt how lucky I was to have superpowers, I really didn't have much of my abilities other than the pain I brought to my eyes. Compared to the two of us, this guy is so pathetic.

"You've always been like this, alone?" I asked, "Just like now, to help build the stage, do you have to wait for everyone to leave, and do it alone?" "Well, because I'm afraid of affecting the people around me, I don't dare to get too close to people." "You'd better stay away from me," he said, "or you'll be unlucky." "I'm not afraid." I say. "What I say is true, don't believe it." Thinking that I didn't believe him, he said anxiously, "You should remember that girl named Ximin, right?" These days, she doesn't know why she always wants to get close to me, and every time she approaches me, she gets unlucky. So you must take my word for it and keep your distance from me. Death looked at me seriously as he spoke, but there was still a trace of helplessness and loneliness in those beautiful eyes.

I think he must be sad - he really wants to have a friend by his side, but he can only push away the people who are close to him again and again. "Hey, you stupid, that's why you saw Ximin's girl unlucky several times, so you hurried out, not because she was beautiful, but because of guilt?" I asked. Oh my God...... I don't know why such an inconsequential question popped into my head at this juncture, and I asked it very seriously. "Is she beautiful? To be honest, even if she walks past me now, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to talk to me, I won't recognize her, I actually ...... I didn't pay attention to other people's habits, because I was always the one who was ignored by everyone. The tone of the passing away was soft and faint, but it sounded distressing and uncomfortable. Actually, I'm really not afraid. I leaned over to him as I said, "A lot of bad things, if you are careful, they won't be a big problem." I'm not the kind of person who doesn't want friends because I'm afraid to go out and step on a puddle. "Friends...... Friend ......" Death looked at me, and it took a long time to say these two words in a daze, and a faint shyness appeared on her fair face, "Yun Jie, you said I was your friend?" "Of course." I said, "Actually, you're a little weird, but you're pretty good." You see, at least you're willing to help me set up the stage, and after everyone leaves, you're going to be alone to help, which is much more responsible than many people in the school. Of course I'd like to be friends with you. "Really?" On the face of the vanished, a very bright smile slowly rose, like a blooming flower, not enough to make people feel dizzy. It's just that such a beautiful smile only lasted for a very short time. Soon, he smiled and looked at me melancholy. "I can't be friends with you," he said, "and that would hurt you." ”

"Stupid, I've said I'm not afraid of stepping on puddles, and I'm not afraid of bad luck like injuries to my hands and feet." I say. "No, no...... said Death shook his head vigorously, "Pandora is already missing because I'm missing, I can't hurt you anymore." "Pandora...... I shuddered, I didn't expect to hear the name from the mouth of the vanished. What is the relationship between Death and Pandora? "That guy named Pandora is your friend?" I asked. "She was the only one in the class who wasn't afraid of me, she was willing to talk to me and play with me, but just when I thought I had finally found a friend, she suddenly disappeared. Until now, no one has been able to find her. He closed his eyes in pain and said, "I have harmed her." If I hadn't been friends with her, she wouldn't have had this kind of thing. "But maybe it's not because of you that she's missing." I said, "Come to think of it, Xi Min approached you like that, and only encountered some painless little bad luck. "Well, well, maybe for that girl who loves beauty more than anything, losing face in front of the public is much more painful than the pain of the flesh." No, it's my fault, it must be my fault, it's me who hurt her. If I hadn't been friends with her, if I hadn't been around her, she wouldn't have had an accident! Death said bitterly. No matter what happens, as long as it is a bad thing, he will always habitually take all the blame and responsibility on himself. This guy is such a big idiot! I stared hard at the painful death, although I was so angry that I wanted to yell at him, but more of a distress, I felt sorry for this guy's guilt for the pain of others. This guy, under his eccentric behavior, actually has a very warm and kind heart.

"Hey, big fool, you told me your secret, so I'm going to tell you my secret too." I say. Although my brother always kept talking when I was a child, there is no one in this world who is completely worthy of your trust, so you must not easily share your secrets with others.

But I think the guy in front of me, who is willing to share his secrets with me, should be someone who is completely worthy of my trustβ€”or at least I want to trust him.

"Secret?" Death turned his head and looked at me in astonishment, "Yun Jie, you also have a secret?" ”

"Of course, is it possible that you are only allowed to have secrets?" I glared at him and said.

"No, it's not, of course I didn't mean that." Seeing me glaring at him, Death quickly shook his hand and denied it. "Stupid...... Let me tell you, actually, I am also a superpower, and my superpower is to foresee the future! I whispered in the ear of the gone. The world became quiet again in an instant. Vanish's eyes widened, and he looked at me in astonishment. "Cloud ...... Yun Jie, are you a superpower? After a long time, a pair of eyes sparkled, and he looked at me with great admiration, and said, "Yun Jie, you are actually a superpower, and you can also foresee the future, you are too powerful!" "A superpower who can foresee the future...... There are such powerful people around me! Extinction shouted excitedly. Alas...... Black lines slid down my forehead one by one. Please, it's clear that this guy is a superpower himself, and he needs to act like an ordinary person who is nothing, and he is excited when he hears about superpowers? "But," the guy suddenly became frustrated again after the excitement, "and even if that's the case, it doesn't mean you'll be fine if you approach me." I've known people with the same superpowers as me before, but if they get close to me, they're just as unlucky. Death said as he slowly stepped back again. Alas...... "But the superpowers I have are different from those of others." I said, "Mine is the ability to foresee, if something unfortunate happens, I will foresee it first, and then I can avoid it." I said. When I said this, I flashed a scene in front of me that followed behind this guy before, trying to stop him from "disappearing", but I ended up hurting myself again and again. "Really? Is it really possible?" Death grabbed my arm and nervously asked, "So, we can really be friends?" "Yes, that's right, we can make friends." I nodded. "Great, Yun Jie, I finally have a friend!" Death grabbed my hand, jumping and jumping, as if I had just received the long-awaited treasure, and I was excited.

After knowing that he and he belonged to the same superpower, our relationship became closer than before. I mean, if our previous relationship can barely be called "intimate".

I don't know why, but when I think of the word "intimacy", I can't help but blush. Excuse me, when I silently muttered these words in my heart alone, what kind of blushing was my face!

this day. When I received the notice from the Superpowered Club, my first thought was to invite him to join me. It's just that when you think that guy can meet a lot of friends who are as special as you are at the club, I feel happy.

Perhaps, he will be able to get out of his current negative attitude because of this, and he will not blame himself all day long, and keep looking for a way to "disappear".

"Die, you hurry up for me!" As soon as school was out that day, I dragged Death to the house of a member of the club, the meeting place of the superpowers.

"But shouldn't I go like this?" Although I was dragged by me, the worried look on his face never subsided, "It doesn't seem like a good thing for me to suddenly break into your party like this?" And you also know my abilities, if you are not careful, someone will be ......"

"It's okay, the people in the club haven't seen anything strange, they must be able to accept your abilities. Besides, speaking of bad luck, you see I've been with you for so long, haven't I always been fine? So maybe, your superpowers won't work against us who are also superpowers. ”

Alas...... I mean, except for those injuries to my hands, feet, back, and other parts of my body, I'm fine.

"Really?" Extinction looked at me, and the expression on his face began to change, "But a few days ago, didn't you just hurt your forehead......"

"That's what I accidentally touched, who hasn't accidentally bumped once or twice?" I waved my hand vigorously, trying to dispel the uneasiness in my heart, but I didn't see it clearly, and the arm that was waved out hit the wall next to me hard, and a numb pain came.

"Yun Jie, are you okay?" Death nervously leaned over, grabbed my hand and kept asking, "It must be my sake, I'm sorry!" ”

The back of my hand hurts! But as soon as I met this guy's guilty face, I could only grit my teeth, smile painfully and said: "Look, my hand has nothing to do at all, and it doesn't hurt to be touched so hard, which is unlucky, it's just luck." ”

"Doesn't it really hurt?" Death asked cautiously, and as he asked, he pursed his beautiful lips slightly, and kept blowing on the back of my hand.

As soon as the warm heat blew on the back of my hand, and then flowed from the back of my hand all the way into my heart.

"It's running out, let's hurry." I grabbed the hand of the dead and said.
