At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhiyao left.

She didn't stay at Natsuki's house for too long, saying that there was too much work in the bureau and she had to go back to deal with it.

As for the food she brought, she didn't take a few bites, and the rest was disposed of by Natsuki as dinner.

"Because the new antivirus software claims to be the strongest antivirus software, there will be many hackers who want to challenge it in the near future, so there will be a large number of plug-ins and bugs during this time......"

"As for the methods of population decline, that is, plagues, fires, floods, etc., or meteorites, in short, they will be dealt with by the most conventional means, and will not cause too much suspicion of human beings and affect social stability......"

"By the way, are you sure you don't want to come to work in the bureau? I don't dare to pack a ticket for the antivirus software, what if it's better than you? Aren't you really hanging......"

"And-"

Lying on the bed, the words that Zhi Yao said afterwards repeatedly surfaced in Xia Shu's mind, making him sleepless all night.

That night, the rain was pouring down, and the sound of rain outside the window did not stop.

……

There is only a pitiful day for the holidays, and I will return to school on Sunday.

Natsuki sat down at home, read the book, wrote homework, and went over.

Sunday, May 10th.

The summer noon is like a steamer, and there is a constant sound outside the window.

Natsuki simply ate a bowl of instant noodles and packed his things on his way to school.

On the road, many students wearing the same school uniform passed by on bicycles, and some of the classmates he knew would turn their heads to say hello to him, and Natsuki also smiled in response.

As soon as he walked past the traffic light, a slender figure appeared in Natsuki's peripheral vision, standing in the middle of the intersection.

She looked around a little confused, her hands clasped tightly together.

And not far in front of her, a large truck full of goods roared towards her, and it was about to hit her!

Natsuki frowned suddenly, and when she wanted to save her secretly, the girl also happened to turn her head in his direction.

In an instant, eyes meet!

Then, Natsuki held his breath-

The world stood still.

The half-fallen leaves are suspended in the air, and the student who has just stepped out of his right leg looks like a statue.

The girl and the truck were no exception, and the two still maintained a distance of three meters, without any loss.

Natsuki retracted his gaze and walked to the middle of the road, in front of the girl.

Just as he was about to take the girl away, his arm suddenly passed through her body, as if he had scooped up a handful of air.

Natsuki was stunned for a moment, and re-examined the girl in front of him, only to find that there was no shadow on the other side!

"I see, is it a new plug-in?"

Then, Natsuki walked back to his place alone and exhaled softly.

The world is working again.

The leaves fell, the crowd continued on, and the wagon sped away as if nothing had passed through the girl's body.

As if nothing had happened, Natsuki continued to walk in the direction of the school.

But then, a sentence sounded in my ears -

"You can see me!?"

The girl ran from the middle of the road at some point, following Natsuki closely, her tone full of surprise.

Natsuki turned a deaf ear.

"You can see me, right?"

"You can see me!"

"You just looked at me!"

The girl waved her hand in front of Natsuki, but Natsuki passed through her body as if she hadn't heard anything.

But the girl didn't give up and still followed.

"I think I'm supposed to be dead...... I'm in a soul state now, so no one can see me, and I tried it on the road just now, and the car passed through me—"

"But although I'm dead, I won't hurt anyone, you don't have to be afraid, I will never hurt you!"

The girl kept walking backwards facing Natsuki, so that she could observe Natsuki's expression, even if there were obstacles behind her, she ignored them all and penetrated directly.

But Natsuki always looked at ease, occasionally sweeping his gaze over the passers-by, and even occasionally glancing in the direction of the girl, but that gaze seemed to look through her at the storefront in the distance.

"Why are you ignoring me?"

"Huh?"

The girl asked many times to no avail, and finally her expression became lonely, and she was about to cry - but Natsuki's footsteps still did not stop, and she still walked forward.

"What! I don't pity the fragrance at all, am I ugly!? ”

The girl pinched her waist and said dissatisfied.

Ten minutes later, Natsuki finally arrived at the school.

At this time, the ghost girl was no longer following him, so Natsuki slowed down his pace and walked leisurely towards the classroom.

Sitting in my seat and looking at my watch, there were still two hours before the evening self-study began, but two-thirds of the students had already arrived.

The classroom was noisy.

The smell is also pungent......

Natsuki pulled out a book and put it on the table, pretending to study, not wanting to talk to anyone.

But the boy at the front table snorted as soon as he saw Natsuki.

"Natsuki, have you had dinner?"

"When I went to buy food just now, I accidentally bought not enough meat buns!"

"Here you go!"

"And this bottle of Coke! Here you go! ”

Natsuki understood what he meant, so he skillfully pulled out his homework in exchange for food.

The other party said happily: "Don't worry, I copied it very well, and I won't let the teacher find out!" ”

"Hmm."

Natsuki bowed slightly, and began to eat steamed buns while reading a book.

It didn't take long for people to come together.

The front desk also returned Natsuki's homework to him before the team leader came to collect it.

And just then, his table mates arrived.

First, a bulky schoolbag fell on the table with a clatter, and then the zipper sounded, and the paper kite frantically took out the holiday homework from it and handed it to the team leader.

"Sorry, it's late."

"It's fine."

After the group leader left, the paper kite sat down in his seat, his face pale, accompanied by the sound of tight breathing.

It seemed that she was running all the way to the classroom.

"Wow, it's a coincidence that you two are actually at the same table, right!?"

The girl I met on the road didn't know when she appeared in the classroom, and was half-lying on the paper kite's desk looking at Natsuki with a smile.

"Little sister, can you help me ask if he can see me at your table?"

"Don't worry, I'm a good ghost!"

"I will never hurt you!"

"I promise! No, I swear! ”

Hearing the girl's words, the paper kite hesitated for a moment, and then turned her head and looked at Natsuki, her eyes full of surprise and curiosity.

She looked around and lowered her voice, "You're like me, you can see her!?" ”

"See what?"

Natsuki pretended not to understand.

"Of course it's her!"

The paper kite pointed to the girl floating beside her, and the girl stretched out her finger and gestured.

"There's nothing there."

Natsuki shook his head.

The paper kite was closer, and the two looked at each other, only two fingers apart, and they could smell each other's breath.

After a long time.

"Well, I was kidding you......"

Paper Kite barely managed to squeeze a smile out of her face, then sat up straight and began to tidy up the table.

"Hmm."

Natsuki bowed slightly, pretending not to care.

"Uh-can't he see me? Could he be lying to you? ”

"Okay okay, maybe I read it wrong, he can't see me......"

As she spoke, the girl's body rioted, flying directly towards Natsuki, and then passing through his body, and Natsuki's eyes didn't blink.

The girl gave up and said, "He really can't see me, but you can see me, at least I'm not alone anymore!" ”

Now it's in the classroom, and the girl is chirping on the side, and the paper kite just doesn't answer, but occasionally replies a few words on the paper.

It didn't take long for the girl to get tired of being in the classroom, so she swooped through the glass on the side and flew out to play.

And after making sure that the girl was really gone, the paper kite breathed a sigh of relief.

She glanced at Natsuki, wrote a line on the notebook, and handed it to him.

It reads: Just now your eyes reflected her shadow! You can see her too!? Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you!

“？？？”

Why is this girl's brain circuit so peculiar!?
