Chapter 33: Mutation 9
"This newspaper news, yesterday noon, the city Chonghua private college in the mountain area after the 'dragon robbery' incident again a vicious fire incident, a team of unidentified people sneaked into the back mountain to try to explore the mystery of the dragon, at the same time with extremely cruel means to kill our soldiers, and then because of the whereabouts of the revealed and our garrison military hand, the other side of the seven people were killed on the spot, two of them were seriously injured and comatose. And at the scene of the incident, it was found that there were unconscious students......"
"All the students in the Houshan area have been rescued, and the area has once again entered a state of extreme alert, and the principal of Chonghua Private High School announced a one-week vacation on the spot, and pointed out that if the safety hazard problem is not solved and the students' lives are not guaranteed, the decision will be made to move the entire school regardless of public opinion."
"At present, the matter is under urgent investigation, the city began to formally impose martial law today, and decided to repatriate tourists from all over the world on a large scale, any unit and individual in the city must be verified, if you find an unknown group of people, please report it in time."
"I hope all citizens will pay attention to their personal safety, the police said that the criminals still have fish that have slipped through the net, and they are currently being arrested......"
Almost all the big advertising screens in the city center are scrolling to show yesterday's firefight, and pedestrians stop under the screens, keep pointing, and then look around them in a panic.
There are more and more crowds, and as far as the eye can see, it is already a black oppression.
Yunmo withdrew his gaze from looking at the outside world through the delicate glass window, and began to attack the stack of chocolate cakes in front of him amid the repeated sound of the news.
I was about to move the fork, but I found that the girl opposite me was looking at her with a cramped expression.
He Zijin's face was a little red, his eyes were a little chaotic, and he couldn't eat the beautiful Western-style food in front of him.
"What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?" Yunmo asked lightly, she wanted to express her kindness to He Zijin, but she didn't know what method to take, thinking of the other party's behavior of running to the canteen all the time, she naturally thought of the level of "eating".
Generally speaking, little girls like desserts, and it took her a while to find this "Delis Dessert House".
It's just that. Looking at each other's expressions, is this unaccustomed?
"Nope! It's not ......" He Zijin stammered, his face flushed from nervousness, "I, I'm just...... Very happy! I'm glad Yunmo invited me to eat cake! "
Her eyes were a little moist, she picked up a fork and carefully forked a piece of dessert, put it in her mouth, and slowly chewed what seemed to be the most delicious food in the world: "Yunmo...... Thank you! "
Not accustomed to such a scene, Yunmo turned his head and looked at the outside world calmly. Quietly changed the subject: "Azusa. Try not to go out in recent times."
"Hmm." The girl responded obediently. His face was a little pale, "Actually...... I'm scared ......."
She raised her eyes, and for the first time looked directly into Yunmo's deep eyes, and there was a hint of obvious fragility in her eyes: "There is something. I didn't dare to sue you because I was scared, afraid that you wouldn't pay attention to me when you found out......"
Yunmo stared at her eyebrows and said soothingly, "Say it. It's hard to feel like you've been hiding in your heart for a long time."
She unconsciously added a trace of gentle spiritual power to her voice, secretly soothing the other party's low, painful, and helpless feelings all of a sudden.
"I ...... Yunmo, I'm a monster! He Zijin's voice was slightly raised, and his eyes became crazy, but now that the news is rumbling, it is obviously not very eye-catching. Do you know? Me, I've been able to see things that others can't see since I was a child! Those who died, those ghosts who lingered! "
As if remembering something terrible, her body trembled slightly: "Bloody, dark, damp...... Those ghosts, those ...... You know what? Terrible stuff. They were always staring at me, I was scared, I cried, I scolded, I ...... I said it, but no one believed me! "
Yun Mo was stunned, He Zijin ...... The ability to see the Shadow?
"I have seen lonely souls wandering in the corridor of the hospital, nostalgically chasing their children and relatives; The dead crouched in the corner and cursed the world; There are also some people who have died extremely miserably because of natural disasters...... I don't remember when I first saw these things, but I just saw them! "
"Everybody says I'm a monster! Scold me for being a psychopath! I ......" the tears in her eyes finally welled up and dripped down in bunches, like pearls, "I never made friends, even my parents divorced because of me...... They don't care I don't care about me and I live with my grandmother. I, I ......"
"You're lonely, aren't you?" Yunmo opened his mouth gently, and his tone was as gentle as water, but it was only for an instant, "Don't cry."
She raised her hand, wiped away the tears from her face in the girl's slightly surprised eyes, and said calmly: "Because of loneliness, I am your only driftwood, your last salvation, and it is not excluded that you and I have this factor in becoming friends."
He Zijin opened his mouth, eager to explain something, but was interrupted by the other party.
Yun Mo neatly stuffed a piece of pastry into her mouth and sealed her words: "Zijin, listen, there is no absolute fairness in this world, and you have to pay the same price for what you get."
He Zijin swallowed the pastry, his face was very sad: "I haven't gained anything, I've been losing...... I don't want that ominous ability at all."
For a person who fears and has one's own particularity, it is obviously more painful to accept the special than to lose it.
"What is lost always comes back, it's a balance." Yunmo Hui. [,! For the first time, she opened the conversation to someone other than Enard, "Why don't you think about your own specialness?" If you make good use of your specialness, maybe it's a different situation."
The girl in front of her is not mature in nature, and it is no wonder that she has experienced so many unsatisfactory experiences.
Having the power that ordinary people do not have, this is itself a disguised burden, whether the person concerned wants to or not, fate is imposed on people like this, and there is no choice.
Anyone can be confused, melancholy, worried, and afraid...... In the end, it spawns into sin, curse, malice and bigotry.
"Azusa. In this world, there is no such thing as an absolute dead end. If your particularity gets an opportunity and a qualitative change occurs, maybe then you will be glad that you are special." Yunmo looked into her eyes intently, and spat out words that surprised her very much, "I believe your words, and I won't reject you because of this."
As soon as the words fell, He Zijin was stunned and let go of the hand that was clenching the corner of his skirt. I realized it when I came back to my senses. The palms of his hands were full of cold sweat: "Yunmo. You...... Why?"
Why, choose to believe me?
Instead of, pushing me away from afar?
Holding his hand and touching the other party's soft hair, Yunmo said slowly, "No why. It's just because, I see you as a partner, that's all."
Just because, see you as a partner, that's all.
Be a partner, that's all...... Nothing more.
He Zijin raised her head and looked deeply at the girl in front of her who had given her care and friendship.
This girl who doesn't alienate her because of her weirdness, doesn't reject her because of her past, doesn't push her away because of her personality.
For the first time, her perennially pale face revealed the vitality and brilliance of a girl. Even the tone that had always cowered had a vivid joy: "Thank you!"
Thank you for believing in me, thank you for understanding me, thank you for being willing to accept me, thank you for supporting me and accompanying me on my way!
Yunmo! I really don't know what to say other than a thank you?
"That's right. You live with your grandmother?" Yunmo raised his eyebrows, his expression fluctuated, "Where you live, is it safe?"
Although I don't know why the other party would ask such a question, He Zijin still replied honestly: "There is an old-fashioned residential building about six stations away from the school, and my family lives on the fifth floor of Unit 17, and although the building there is a certain age, it is generally very sturdy. There are a lot of elderly people in the neighborhood, and they take good care of me on weekdays."
"What's wrong? Yunmo." He Zijin looked at his silent friend suspiciously, and asked unconsciously.
"Nothing." The other party slowly replied, "Pay attention to your own safety and protect yourself."
In today's world, even if you have a heart, you may not be able to protect it thoroughly.
Thinking of a series of trivial events that have happened recently, Yunmo's mood is slightly worse, the local turmoil has already begun, and what will happen after that is really unpredictable.
Sweeping away the desserts on the plate, Yunmo couldn't help but pull out a doomsday prophecy book that was said to be very popular twelve years ago.
She didn't shy away from the curious girl on the other side, she concentrated on "brushing" and flipping through the books in her hands, and with the erosion of mental power, all the words in the books merged into a stream and poured into her mind.
After sorting it out a little, she saw the popular phrase twelve years ago: "When the night of December 21 falls, the dawn of December 22 will never come again".
She couldn't say what she was feeling, but she subconsciously felt that it was a hint.
A symbol that hints at calamity!
She distinctly remembered that Enard had said to her that "twelve" was a reincarnation.
Yunmo came with them to break through time and space, breaking the rules of this parallel plane, thus causing local turmoil, and the integration period to repair this loophole is twelve years.
If the calamity was supposed to break out on December 21, 2012, then the rules that had been broken would be about to usher in the beginning and end of the cycle after 12 years.
December hadn't come yet, but when she came into contact with this level of things, she realized that she had suddenly figured out something.
December 21, 2024?
It's been more than two months and a few days since that day, and it's really not long, Yunmo's eyes sank, and his face was solemn.
ps:
On the first day of entering V, to be honest, I was very nervous~~
Not much more, but I've done my best~~
There is also a second more~~
