Chapter Ninety-Nine: Sluggishness, Worm Queen
Li Ai looked at Zhang Zhou, who was standing in the crowd and silently withdrew his grim gaze in a certain direction, and slowly left in front of the last row of chairs, standing not far from the road that must be taken to leave the playground. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info In her sight, Zhang Zhou reput on his original happy expression, but did not make any cheers.
With that smile he slowly withdrew from the crowd on the side of the stage, and only turned around when he returned to the relaxed seating area did he retract the smile that was gradually becoming dull. He silently lowered his eyes and walked off the path out of the playground. There are no teachers and no student council at the entrance of the playground and the entrance of the school, this is a festival and celebration for the students, and in this day, at this time, they just want to give them joy. It is not possible to be like a prisoner who guards prisoners, with three steps, one post, five steps, and one sentry. They can leave whenever they want.
He bowed his head silently, as if thinking about something. But as he walked, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the place where Li Ai had been sitting, but he didn't see the familiar figure. He couldn't help but be stunned, turned his eyes, looked around for a while, and then realized that she had already stood at the door of the playground, looking at himself for a long time, waiting for him to pass.
Zhang Zhou was silent, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly, and leaned towards Li Ai in resignation. When he approached, he was about to say something, but was blocked by Li Ai's preemptive words.
"Let's go, let's go together." Li Ai turned around, gave him a beautiful back of his head, and walked out of the gate of the playground on his own, but he was not prepared to give him any chance to ask questions. Zhang Zhou opened his mouth, caught a glimpse of her cold style, closed his mouth in amusement, and followed behind her resignedly. He didn't know why she was suddenly clinging to his side, and he didn't make any guesses. He just naturally thought that she had some interest in those places. Or perhaps, she was reminded of Moyin Bao'er, who was somewhat similar to Midorihime, and wanted to meet another existence like Midorihime...... These ideas are so natural, so reasonable......
However, he never had the slightest idea of beauty because of such a thing, is this really reasonable? Perhaps, he had, but not for enough time. He was becoming more and more sluggish, his eyes were becoming more and more blurry, and he was gradually becoming unable to see the world clearly. He ** longitudinal vision, what he can see, only what others want him to see. He is like a puppet, being dragged by others, ignoring what he should have seen, and walking step by step towards the abyss along the yellow spring paved by others.
Perhaps, his sluggishness was not just due to being obscured from view. Maybe it's because he has become very familiar with Li Ai, so he has become so dull.
In other words, people who gradually become familiar will become more and more sluggish in their feelings of budding affection for each other as the familiarity deepens. Because, those intimate actions, from the perspective of lovers, are actually not very out of line. And sometimes, we can clearly feel the intimacy in those actions, but we will also be afraid because we care, afraid that we just misunderstood, so that the relationship between each other becomes even worse than before, or even dwarfed. So, we default to being sluggish.
Zhang Zhou thought silently, but suddenly he was in a trance. He seemed to wake up suddenly, and at that moment he understood something. So he raised his eyes and glanced at the pretty back in front of him. After a moment's hesitation, he opened his mouth, as if to say something to the figure. But he couldn't say anything. His eyes were misty, but he couldn't remember what he was trying to say. He thought in vain, trying to retrieve the forgotten words. He just felt that it was important, very important......
Just as he was trying to get back that sentence, the pretty figure in front of him suddenly stopped, turned his eyes, and looked straight at him. Under her gaze, Zhang Zhou, who was a little distracted, refocused his gaze. He looked at her fixedly, not understanding why she was turning her head to look at him. Their eyes met, looking at each other's faces. But they were speechless, waiting for each other's moves.
Speaking of which, this may be the first time they have stared at each other's faces for so long at such a close distance. Hmm, Li Ai...... It's actually beautiful, isn't it? Before, why didn't you find out? Well? Did I just think of something? Why can't you think of it? Never mind...... After watching silently for a while, Zhang Zhou's thoughts began to deviate. His eyes became slightly confused, and his thoughts diverged again. It's just that a pair of eyes are still staring straight at Li Ai and never moving away.
After a long time, Li Ai was defeated. She no longer expected Zhang Zhou to take the lead in making the move she expected, but slightly sideways her body and got out of the way. "Lead the way." She said with a thick sense of helplessness in her voice.
"Oh? Oh. Zhang Zhou was confused for a moment, then he reacted and took his eyes off Li Ai's face. Immediately strode in front of Li Ai, and walked towards the narrow alley where the situation occurred.
Yes, she'll stop, just because she doesn't know the way. Although she saw me leaving, she knew what might have happened. But she wasn't sure where that was happening. Even though she knew that there were only two of the three narrow alleys on this side, she couldn't be sure which one the incident had taken place in.
While walking, Zhang Zhou subconsciously thought about it. The originally very scattered attention quickly focused, completely expelling the confusion in his mind, just a short moment, let him figure out the meaning of Li Ai's actions, and also thought about it by the way, if Li Ai insisted on entering that narrow alley for a while, how to protect her when he fought with the aliens there.
However, although he had thought about many things, he had forgotten the phrase he had been searching for not long ago, and even the fact that it had existed in his mind had been completely forgotten. He walked silently in front of Li Ai, thinking...... Pondering......
Where there is light, there is also darkness. No matter how strong the sun is, the shadows cast by all things will not be completely diminished. And in this city of high-rise buildings, such shadows can be seen everywhere. The tall buildings shaded out the sunlight and darkened everything in its shadows. A narrow alley full of ancient mottled traces is in this darkness. However, unlike other places in this darkness, this narrow alley has a strange sheen.
The green glow flickered in the dimly lit narrow alley, ignoring the imprisoned sphere of golden runes that were completely revealed, and slowly flew out in the direction of the narrow alley. The green fluorescent light gathered in twos and threes, and slowly flew out of the alley, exposing its existence to the rays of the sun.
The green fluorescence that had enveloped their entire bodies had faded under the sun's rays, revealing black flying insects the size of fingernails. They fluttered their wings, large and small, and gathered at the mouth of the alley, waiting silently, waiting for the rest of their companions to gather.
They vibrated their wings, large or small, but the rate of vibration was surprisingly consistent, and there were hundreds or thousands of them gathered together, but the sound of vibrating wings did not feel the slightest chaos, it was so unified. The vibrations of this kind of vibrating sound converged, and the originally small sound became huge. And such sounds are gathering along the dim alley, little by little towards the mouth of the alley.
As the black flying insects gathered more and more at the mouth of the alley, the sound of flapping wings became louder and clearer, making it easy to distinguish its ups and downs. And this ups and downs make it sound like human speech.
The sound of flapping wings flickered high and low, one after the other, becoming clearer and clearer as more and more people gathered. Slowly, the green glow confined in the golden sphere became less and less, and more and more black flying insects gathered at the mouth of the alley. The hoarse sound of flapping wings slowly became mellow. When the last black flying insect arrived, a huge cluster of thousands of flying insects suspended in the air slowly rotated.
In this rotation, the silhouette of a human figure slowly took shape, and at the same time, the sound of flapping wings became more round and jade, "From Kunlun Mountain, go back to the starry sky...... It was a distant and ancient ballad, a little vague, but it seemed so grand. When all the black flying insects stopped again, the crisp and melodious sound of flapping their wings also stopped.
The next moment, the humanoid silhouette composed of black flying insects shook slightly, and then slowly opened its eyes. At that moment, the originally faint green fluorescence on its body brightened up in an instant. The green light intertwined, from top to bottom, slowly weaving a set of green clothes, enveloping the bumpy body.
As the green garment took shape, its cheeks, which were made up of many black flying insects, slowly changed, and finally turned into the appearance of a stunning girl in her twenties. It's just that the vicissitudes in those dark eyes are so weird compared to such a youthful face.
She raised her eyes, glanced at the blue sky, and then lowered her eyes, and turned her head to look at the golden orb in the narrow alley behind her. His lips squirmed, but he didn't speak, just turned around silently and left the place step by step.
Shortly after she left, Li Ai and Zhang Zhou came to the mouth of the narrow alley. Seeing that Li Ai consciously stopped outside the alley, Zhang Zhou silently breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly opened the six-pointed star barrier, and then slowly pulled out the Night Knife from his arm, and walked into the narrow alley.
Li Aibai stood bored at the mouth of the alley, looked left and right for a while, and noted the location here. When he was about to take out his mobile phone to pass the time, he heard Zhang Zhou's voice ring behind him. She turned around in some surprise and saw his solemn face.
"There's big trouble." He said. Li Ai looked at Zhang Zhou, who was standing in the crowd and silently withdrew his grim gaze in a certain direction, and slowly left in front of the last row of chairs, standing not far from the road that must be taken to leave the playground. In her sight, Zhang Zhou regained his original expression of joy, but did not let out any cheers.
With that smile he slowly withdrew from the crowd on the side of the stage, and only turned around when he returned to the relaxed seating area did he retract the smile that was gradually becoming dull.
