"Huh? This dream again? In his dream, a little boy was facing a ghost floating in the air, and after the ghost finished speaking, he rushed to the little boy, and the little boy saw the ghost rushing over, and hurriedly threw the slate at the ghost in an attempt to hit the ghost, but when he saw the slate passing through the ghost's body, the little boy was desperate, and he held his head and squatted in place with his head trembling, waiting for the ghost to come and catch him,

But he looked up at the ghost, the ghost seemed to pick up the slate, the little boy seemed to know something, picked up the slate next to him and rushed to the door behind the ghost, and threw it in the opposite direction while running, and the ghost did not chase him, but flew to pick up the slate When the little boy successfully left the hall, he still had a slate left in his hand, which was the slate he looked over, not that he couldn't throw it away but he didn't want to throw it, and soon the ghost caught up, and the little boy saw that the door he came out at the beginning could not be opened and began to be overwhelmed,

At this moment, an old man's voice came from the door of the upper floor: "If you don't want to be caught by a ghost, run over quickly, kid!" ”

The little boy heard this life-saving straw-like voice and ran to the upper stairs without hesitation, sure enough, the door was open, and there was an old man who looked like a German and waved to him, he ran desperately to the old man with tears in his eyes, and when he was about to reach the door, the ghost suddenly caught up, seeing that the little boy was about to be caught, the old man gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and rushed over to put the little boy to his side before the ghost caught it, and then threw a ball like a flashbang, and the flashbang exploded,

The old man and the little boy also rushed out smoothly, but the crisis was not resolved, the old man rushed out and closed the door as soon as possible and then picked up a piece of wood on his back to plug the door, and then took the little boy away from the door, this layer is like a maze with a lot of dead ends, I don't know how far to run, the little boy and the old man are tired and sit on the ground,

"It's safe now, what's your name, kid?" The old man gasped and asked the little boy, and the boy was a little surprised to see that the old man was not speaking Chinese but he could understand it,

"Hehe, all the languages in this place will be understood, although I don't understand why. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "The old man seemed to be surprised to see the little boy and explained to him this,

The little boy nodded and said, "I can't remember it myself, I'm sorry, old man." ”

"It's okay! Let's talk about it when I think about it. "The old man seems to be a good person. The little boy was tired and gradually fell asleep, and the old man was no longer panting, the old man glanced at the sleeping little boy, picked up a somewhat rusty dagger from his back, and just wanted to start at the little boy, the little boy suddenly opened his eyes, and the old man hurriedly put the knife back, and the old man asked in a somewhat dissatisfied voice: "Dear child, what's wrong with you?" ”

The little boy replied to the old man very seriously: "The old man seems to be running towards us quickly." When the old man heard this, he immediately dragged the little boy up and began to run in other directions, but it was difficult to run out of this maze-like place without a map.

After hitting a few dead ends, the little boy made another sound: "He's getting closer and closer to us, and the way we go to the left should be able to get rid of him, but there seem to be a lot of people on the left." ”

The old man heard the little boy say at the end, 'When there are a lot of people', he suddenly laughed, and then ran to the left with the little boy, and sure enough, he met people on the road, but the old man didn't look at them, just ran with the little boy, until the little boy said that he got rid of it and stopped, the little boy and the old man who stopped were very tired and fell asleep, when the little boy opened his eyes again, he found that the old man next to him was looking at him with indifferent eyes, he didn't understand why, but he still asked 'what's wrong',

The old man was expressionless: "How did you know that something was chasing you?" ”

"I just felt something, something was rubbing against us, and it was getting closer and closer to us, I don't know what it was." After saying this, the old man's expression became gentle,

And gently he said, "Do you feel anything strange in your body?" ”

"Yes!" The boy replied quickly, "I see that I have something in my hand now, but when I pick it up, it looks black. ”

After hearing this, the old man thought for a moment and said to the little boy, "Maybe it's the ability to control shadows, right?" Didn't you say you couldn't remember the name? I'll call you according to your abilities, and from now on you'll be called 'Shadow'. ”

"Whew!" The Shadow opened his eyes abruptly and let out a sigh as he slowly sat up from the bed, "It seems that what the Darkness said is true, but what is that place?" I'll have to ask him next time. With that, he turned his head to look at the girl who was still asleep, got up, packed up, and got ready for school.

After school in the afternoon, Shadow was about to go back to the dormitory, when he was suddenly stopped by the teacher and said that the principal had asked him to go to the office, hearing the news, Shadow chuckled, he thought that the school might want him to drop out, but he just nodded expressionlessly, when he knocked on the office door, the person in the door was not the principal, but a man with a high hat and a cane that looked like a gentleman, with his back to him, well, yes, a gentleman.

When the gentleman turned to face the shadow, the shadow was very surprised and a little weak-hearted, and even a little faintly afraid, because the man's face was not clear under the hat, and he could only see the nose and mouth, but he could still feel his very sharp eyes, as if he could pierce people, and the shadow felt that he had no secrets in front of him.

"Uh, hello, are you the principal?" Shadow tried to ask, but the man seemed to be amused by Shadow's brainless question and smiled at Shadow, "Sorry sir, I'm not the headmaster." It's just the one I invited you to come. As he spoke, the man sat down on the couch in the headmaster's room, and at the same time made a gesture to ask the shadow to come to his side, looking at the gesture to talk to the shadow for a while, and the shadow sat down in the direction of his finger,

"So let's get started." The man saw the Shadow sit down and was ready to start, "First of all, let me introduce myself, I am a mutant, although there are no special changes in my body now, but sooner or later there will be, you can call me 'Nightmare', I came here to ask you to be one of my collaborators, so what should you call it?" ”

The man named Nightmare briefly introduced himself, "Mr. Nightmare, you can call me 'Shadow', I'm a stranger, and I don't know what my true abilities are, I'm sorry. ”

Shadow learned the Nightmare's way of speaking and tried to talk to Nightmare, "Okay Mr. Shadow, I have a contract here about whether you and I can become a cooperative relationship, if you want to cooperate with me, you can sign the contract, the details are written on this contract, you can go back and take a good look, I will come to pick up the contract myself when the time comes." Okay, that's all we have to talk about today, do you have any questions? ”

"Well, it's nothing, I'll think about it seriously, so I'll take my leave."

The Shadow picked up the contract and walked towards the door,

"Then please walk slowly."

As Shadow walked out of the office, Nightmare got up and walked to the window, the corners of his mouth curling in an eerie arc.
