Chapter 13: The Knocking Door

Zhang Zhou, Li Ai. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoTwo people in the same school, in the same class, on the same floor, but almost no intersection of the opposite sex. When these two unrelated names took a leave of absence at the same time on Wednesday, May 25, 2016, no one thought that what would happen to them.

The head teacher who received Li Ai's call to ask for leave sighed at the teacup full of still warm tea after cutting off contact. Although this student has been dominating the first place in the grade all year round. But...... If she only has grades, how will she gain a foothold in society in the future? He glanced at the phone that had been placed aside and sighed again. How long has it been since this kid spoke? I stammered even when I asked for leave, and I couldn't tell a lie properly......

Later, when he received Zhang Zhou's call to ask for leave, his mind was full of lawsuits. "Teacher, there is a powerful demon invading the present world, and I must deal with it now, so please allow me to take a leave of absence today." Listen, what is the reason for this? After speaking, I didn't wait for a reply, and hung up the phone directly! This guy is hopeless! After sulking to himself, the teacher finally signed his name on the fake note on the side. He understands the situation of Zhang Zhou's family, and it is very difficult for a child to come out of such a family alone. He didn't want to burden him unnecessarily in any other way.

So, for different reasons, the two people's loopholes were recognized. After dropping the phone, Li Ai exhaled deeply, calmed down her somewhat rapid breathing, turned her head to look at the pothos skirt girl who was sleeping quietly on the sofa, curiously watching the joyful program on TV, and pressed her chest with some doubts...... Why? Why did I take the initiative to say so many things to this girl yesterday? Could it be that you are better at non-human nature than humans? What, I'm not like a human being.

She shook her head and looked down into her palm. Since that's not the case, there's only one possibility. That is, she and herself, like Zhang Zhou, are all loners. Perhaps, there is much more loneliness precipitated in her body than in her. She raised her eyes and stared at the girl in the pothos skirt, and smiled silently.

After hanging up the teacher's phone, Zhang Zhou, who was leaning on a telephone pole not far from yesterday's alleyway, exhaled deeply and looked down at his rehealed fingertips. There, there is still the feeling of dripping blood yesterday. He couldn't help but think of the fluorescent footprints that stretched out lonely and lonely in the hustle and bustle of the crowd, the flowery smile of the girl in the pothos skirt standing at the junction of prosperity and ruin, and the broken words that resounded in his heart. He reached out emptyly, as if to grasp something that dissipated into the air, "...... Got it. ”

After a long time, he smiled a little lonely, and then put down his hand, "You too...... Is she a loner like me, or like her? He suddenly remembered the girl whose memory was erased twice by himself, is it called Li Ai, right? The girl who is in the same class as herself, but there is almost no intersection. She's found herself twice...... Thinking of this, he suddenly covered his right eye, and it took a while to suppress the golden light that radiated from it.

"Ahem," he was silent for a few moments before lowering the hand holding his right eye to his chest, "Honestly, I don't have that much power to control you, and if you're not honest, I'd rather gouge you out along with this right eye!" As if hearing his words, the golden ray buried in the deepest part of his right eye trembled for a moment, and then regained its composure.

He lowered his palm, scurried around the corner, and returned to the narrow alley, then slashed his fingertips again with his sharpened nails, letting the red blood drip to the ground. The blood gathered into a pool, and then stretched in a certain direction, revealing a series of somewhat messy fluorescent footprints. He stared, noticing that the direction of the extension was the same as the direction he was running away. He stepped forward, slowly following the direction of the fluorescent footsteps.

It's been a night, and if the pothos skirt girl wants to do something, she must have done it a long time ago. And, he knew, he understood...... She wouldn't do anything like that.

He had such an unreasonable, unfounded trust in her, whom he had only met once, so he slowed down and slowed down the pace of approaching her. He still hadn't figured out what to do with her......

Sitting next to the girl in the pothos skirt, Li Ai habitually picked up the remote control, wanting to jump the show to the station she liked. But at the moment when she was about to press the remote control, the girl in the pothos skirt seemed to notice something, turned her head and looked at her with a pair of watery eyes. The gesture made her fingers freeze in place. She struggled for a moment, then sighed helplessly and put the remote back in place.

And her actions made the girl in the pothos skirt hook the corners of her mouth and laugh happily. Facing her smile, Li Ai sighed again. She suddenly found that her mood swings were too great during the time she had been picking her up. She didn't know if it was good or bad, but ...... She thinks it's actually pretty good.

But...... Why?

Li Ai tilted her head to look at the girl in the pothos skirt who had turned her attention back to the TV, staring at the expression on her face. Whether it is human or non-human, as long as you have your own emotions, then the expression on your face will definitely reflect the emotional fluctuations in your heart. No matter how good at camouflage, there will be clues to be revealed. Even if the expression is confused, the eyes and some subconscious movements cannot be deceived. Unless, fool yourself first.

And Li Ai, who has been trying to decipher seventy percent of the content of human communication outside of language contained in expressions and movements, has reached the point where he can decipher most of the content contained in that expression. So, now she can feel the regret and sadness hidden in the eyes of the girl in the pothos skirt who seems to be fascinated by watching the TV show.

There was a thick sense of death in that sadness, and it seemed that in the next moment, this girl in a pothos skirt who was not as beautiful as a human creation would leave her, dissipating into the air like an early morning mist.

She knew what kind of emotions she had, but she didn't know what she was regretting or grieving for. She could feel her emotions, but she couldn't understand her words. Communication between them is difficult because one of them is human and the other is non-human...... Isn't it a homogeneous relationship?

Humans and chimpanzees are genetically different by a small margin, but they are two different species. Communication with each other is extremely difficult. And how different is this girl from herself? By the way, in this way, he ...... Are you still human? Li Ai, who suddenly thought of this question, fell silent. She slowly reached out and grabbed the soft left hand of the girl in the pothos skirt without palm prints.

At the same time, the person she thought of came to the downstairs of the apartment where she lived. After seeing the footprints that disappeared at the entrance to the apartment, he looked up at the elegantly decorated apartment building.

Was someone taken away? With such a question that he seemed to remember something disgusting, and with a strange light in his eyes, he quickly retreated into the shadows of the corner, and after letting himself disappear from the monitored view, he closed his right eye, and the only one that was open lit up with a strange light, and in this light, he sank into the wall that surrounded the elegant apartment.

He followed the fluorescent footprints up the stairs, and with each step, the sparkle in his eyes became sharper. As he stood in the doorway where the light had vanished, he opened his right eye and freed himself from his vanishing state, and ...... He knocked on the door in front of him.
