Chapter 14: The Eve of the Howling Storm
"Attention all students, please note all students, please leave the campus as soon as possible, and dormitory students please return to the dormitory as soon as possible......" The man repeated on the radio, speaking Mandarin mixed with dialects. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There were few students on campus, and the vendors at the gate had packed up their stalls and left, and on both sides of the road, the vendors withdrew their signs, busily sealing the gaps at the bottom of the doors to prevent flooding and preparing for typhoons.
The original heat has been replaced by a crisp cold wind, and a cold current blows, and Qiu Zhai shivers.
"Don't you feel cold?" Qiu Zhai reached out and took the windbreaker in Feng Ying's hand and draped it over his shoulders.
"The somatosensory system may be a little sluggish." Feng Ying shook her head, rolled up her sleeve with one hand, raised it to feel the direction of the wind, and pressed her cheek to feel her body temperature with the other, "After all, it's been a year since the last overhaul." ā
The movements and expressions of the wind firefly are very natural, and there is no sense of mechanics at all, who can know that this is the result of a technology.
"Memory transplantation technology..."Qiu Zhai saw her like this, he had an idea, and looked at her with some playfulness, "I know that it is taboo but I have to touch it, and I still choose her, those people will understand sooner or later that this is a cocoon and self-restraint." ā
"Director?" Feng Ying's eyes were full of question marks when she looked at Qiu Zhai, I don't know if it was her own illusion, for a moment, she seemed to see something in Qiu Zhai's eyes, was it some kind of emotion? She tried to decipher, tried to find in her mind, tried to match, but came to no avail. She tried to focus her gaze and zoom in, but Qiu Zhai suddenly looked up, and Feng Hotaru saw a figure in his eyes.
After leaving the theater, Feng Ying followed Qiu Zhai's footsteps until she reached the gate of this school, and what made Feng Ying curious was that Qiu Zhai did not let her leave, and let her follow behind. But they don't have a school sign, and they can't pretend to be parents, they can only stand in front of the door. Qiu Zhai wanted Feng Hotaru to disguise himself as a student, but Feng Ying had eye-catching green hair. Qiu Zhai, who didn't give up, still leaned into her ear and asked her in a low voice, "Do you have a one-button dress change function?" ā
"......" Feng Ying was speechless.
Since then, the two have been standing at the school gate and waiting, except for Qiu Zhai, who kept patronizing various stalls, and soon mingled with the vendors, especially with Master Li, who sold stinky tofu, and the two had a good conversation. Other than that, the two basically didn't communicate, until now, Feng Hotaru saw the figure.
Feng Ying looked at Qiu Zhai's gaze, and on the other side of the road, there was a person, an actor.
The gate of the school has been closed, but the person Qiu Zhai is looking for has not waited, and on both sides of the school district road, the facades of all the businesses have also been locked, and the wind is chasing the dust between the roads, and at a glance, it looks a little barren, except for her.
On the other side, she was wearing a costume, a variety of ornaments, embroidered with a pair of bright yellow gauze skirts of You Feng, and the skirt and sleeves swayed lightly in the wind, like a gorgeous peony. The drama on his face has never faded, it is so abrupt, there is always an illusion of time and space disorder.
Somewhat tired from a long run, she took a deep breath and regained her breath. The headdress had been casually thrown aside by her, and a thousand strands were flying, and a pair of eyes under the vermilion color reflected the two opposite.
"She's the one in the theater?" Feng Hotaru looked at Qiu Zhai and said.
"It seems that our freshmen are not only ready for the interview, but also brought a welcome gift." The corners of Qiu Zhai's mouth with some stubble rose slightly.
"Freshmen?"
"Mei Yanhua." Qiu Zhai nodded her forehead, "You can find out her inactive files, these are all public, so you don't have to think that my private list is anything, just like every university has a special recruitment quota, what I'm looking for is them, understand?" ā
"Well... It's me who is too suspicious. Feng Hotaru said apologetically.
Needless to say, Qiu Zhai naturally knew that the suspicious ones were always the guys from the school board, and Feng Ying was just their tool, but he was too lazy to continue, he didn't want the freshmen to wait for a long time.
"Why don't we go over and talk about it?" Qiu Zhai walked to the opposite side, Feng Ying followed him closely, and Mei Yanhua on the other side was still standing in place.
"Double A! How can it be? Feng Hotaru suddenly stopped and grabbed Qiu Sai's windbreaker.
Just now, Feng Ying found a file named Mei Yanhua in the database in her mind, and a simulacrum file appeared in her mind. In addition to the various serial numbers, proposed codes and addresses in the classified category, including the personal information column, almost all of them are blank, but the comprehensive rating at the bottom is eye-catching with two red A!
"How?" Autumn Zhai sideways.
"Her information is basically blank, but the rating is a double A, and she hasn't even passed the evaluation exam." Feng Hotaru found this a little unbelievable, and she even suspected that there was something wrong with the file records, "An unevaluated freshman? Even Lost's young man who remembers the old king is only a double A, she... What is it? ā
Qiu Zhai smiled, "There's nothing surprising about her, she is worthy of that double A with just one thing, the blank file, naturally for secrecy, I believe that after arriving at Lost, the almost blank file you saw will also be destroyed, as for why, you will soon know." But when he had finished speaking, both of them stopped.
"It's okay, it's okay there." Not far from them, Mei Yanhua raised her hand to signal them to stop.
"Looks like we're not very popular." Qiu Zhai turned around and gave Feng Ying a helpless expression, "This is in the middle of the road!" Let's talk slowly, we are from the admissions office, not bad people, and we came for an interview..."
"No, I know who you are." Mei Yanhua interrupted him, "It's good there, I'll leave soon." She slowly lowered her hand, her long sleeves were lowered, and her brows were slightly frowned, as if she was still the sad and resentful Zhuo Wenjun in the phoenix, "You shouldn't come here... These storms and rains all arise because of you. There was grief in her eyes.
Feng Ying looked at Qiu Zhai suspiciously, and after a short silence, Qiu Zhai asked, "You, what did you see, right?" ā
"Chihai Bridge, heavy rain, storm, in addition to the few you are looking for, there are many ......" Mei Yanhua's tone gradually lowered.
"What's there?" Feng Hotaru asked in front of Qiu Zhai.
Mei Yanhua's expression was a little solemn, and she slowly locked her gaze on them, "I don't know what it is, those people are very strange, I can't see their appearance clearly, it's like ghosts." Some of you were wounded and bled profusely. ā
Until she finished speaking, Qiu Zhai did not interrupt her, nor did he ask. He clearly knew that what Mei Yanhua saw was what they were about to experience.
"Anything else?" "I mean, is that all you see?"
"There are still a few more, but it should be that the dream is chaotic, I see a city, an indescribable place, a group of people in white robes are carrying a wooden coffin." She shook her head, "That's all, all I've seen." I haven't had this kind of dream for ten years, you really shouldn't come, now, I'm leaving. She picked up the headdress from the ground.
"Won't you come with us?" Feng Hotaru wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Qiu Zhai.
"My family is waiting for me, I have to go back, I have said everything that should be said, be careful yourself, the storm is coming." Mei Yanhua patted the dust on her headdress and turned to leave.
The two looked at Mei Yanhua's distant back, and they were silent for a moment.
Qiu Zhai took out a cigarette from the inner pocket of his trench coat and lit it. "Do you know the purpose of my visit?"
"Hmm." Feng Hotaru replied. "I just didn't expect that there would be someone to inherit the foresight."
"Therefore, China's new life is a monster." Qiu Zhai threw out a circle of eyes and looked at the gloomy sky overhead.
"I also noticed something unusual, so I chose to go there first, after all, there are restrictions on the oath, our movement is very inconvenient, and I don't want to fight an unprepared battle." Qiu Zhai said.
"I just checked the meteorological data here, and there should have been no rain in the last month." Feng Hotaru paused, "In other words, the storm was formed after we came here. As the freshman said, it was we who brought the storm. ā
In the sky, dark clouds like an abyss gather and rotate. Like a giant eye, staring at the earth.
Someone was following us, from the beginning.
At this moment, in Qiu Zhai's heart, an uneasy emotion is echoing. At first, he had suspected that the school board would spy on him, but this possibility was ruled out at the root, and the remaining possibilities were only among the freshmen.
Who would want to go after a freshman? Is the balance of ten years going to be broken after all?
"Feng Ying, go back and prepare, change your outfit, no matter what it is, our task is to pick up the new students safely." Qiu Zhai stopped pondering and snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand.
"But all our equipment is left at customs." Feng Hotaru said.
"Everything is expected to be comprehensive, remember to keep a hand for yourself." Qiu Zhai spat out the last puff of his cigarette, "You still have a lot to learn." ā
