Out of the unknown dimension of time, back to the dimension called "reality".

Xia Ran first looked at the calendar, then looked at his notes, and quickly found his real-world rhythm, remembering what should theoretically have happened "a few days ago".

Writing a diary is indeed a good habit, but this feeling of confusion and separation, no matter how many times you experience it, will not completely get used to it, and it cannot be immediately eliminated by simply looking at the previous diary.

In the earliest stage, the sense of separation was so terrible that it was difficult to follow, many times Xia Ran wondered if he was crazy, and always felt that what he saw was someone else's diary, but he insisted on looking for the so-called immersive sense of substitution from his already extremely chaotic memory, and he didn't know if he could still remember it......

But now that he has experienced it many times, and perhaps because his intellectual attributes and spiritual attributes have been improved to a level unimaginable to ordinary people, he has easily regained the rhythm of the real world this time...... Probably.

After all, he didn't write down everything in detail, but just recorded some more important information.

Therefore, it is impossible to say what details are missing. It's just that since it's not specifically written down, it probably means that those things aren't important in the first place, right? So no problem!

"The last day of Golden Week was yesterday, which means that the school will reopen today......"

Looking at the calendar, Xia Ran looked at the clock on the table, exhaled softly, and then walked to the wardrobe and changed into a school-style uniform-

Although the school has a strict dress code in this area, it is only a strict rule in oral and written writing, and no one checks this aspect of discipline at all, so there are many students who dress according to their own preferences, as long as they are not particularly excessive, and do not look for trouble.

It can be said that the student union in the school has no sense of existence at all, let alone any majesty, and is usually like a background board or something, so you don't have to worry about what kind of surprise inspection they do.

Not to mention surprise inspections, they seem to have forgotten about even the fixed routine inspections...... It is precisely because the student union does not even do superficial work that it is no wonder that there is no sense of existence.

However, Xia Ran has always implemented the concept of "coming from the masses and going to the masses", high-profile, unconventional, and eye-catching, this concept has always been unrelated to him, so he has always worn a school uniform.

He didn't think the school uniform was ugly anyway, and wasn't under the snow a positive example? It can only be said that good-looking people are born with clothes racks, and they look good in anything, and they look good in a sack -

And ugly people are ugly in everything they wear, and the more they stand out from the crowd, the more they want to appear different, but the more they magnify this aspect of the problem...... Originally, if you were all wearing a school uniform and standing out to everyone, no one would pay special attention to you.

However, if you want to highlight your maverick and highlight your personal style, you can see it at a glance, isn't this looking for trouble?

That's why this world is so cruel.

- neither gentle nor correct.

……

……

I straightened my tie in front of the mirror, and pressed the two hairs that had been curled up after waking up from a good night's sleep.

After Xia Ran looked at it for a while, he felt more satisfied. Because no matter how you look at it, it's still the same as before, and there are no obvious changes because of certain things, which is really reassuring-

He probably overlooked the fact that people change over time, but it is difficult for him to perceive this change, because this change is not something that can be completed immediately, but a process of gradual change over time.

Often when a person reacts and discovers that he has changed, he basically doesn't know himself anymore.

Xia Ran quickly finished washing, and after eating breakfast, he picked up his schoolbag and went out directly. The moment he walked out of the door, he was still in a trance, and then rubbed his eyebrows in some distress.

The morning light is shining on the spacious streets, the sky is clear and bright, and the white clouds are drifting leisurely. There are cars coming and going on the road, and the sidewalks are busy office workers or students, walking briskly in three steps and two steps, and some of them are still holding breakfast in their hands and taking a bite after a few hurried steps.

In addition to the reluctance on many people's faces for the Golden Week that has just passed, there is obvious post-holiday syndrome, full of unhappiness and anger about the first day of work and school after the holiday, and antisocial personality is emerging.

The city, or the world, is as quiet and peaceful as ever, and it is incredibly peaceful.

This is the factor that makes Xia Ran feel a serious sense of separation, after all, the previous zombie apocalyptic world, if it is said that it has no effect on him at all, it is impossible. He's just used to quickly adjusting his mindset and recognizing the current reality.

If you don't say it on the surface, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, so he always feels that this contrast is really too drastic now.

There were no zombies on the streets, no black smoke and flames from the buildings in the distance, no car accident scenes and burning vehicles on the roads, and no flesh and blood on the ground, broken limbs and stumps......

Even the voices in all directions were excessively loud, the voices of various crowds of people, the engines of whizzing cars, the honking of horns, and even the distant noise of discernible noise.

It seemed that every street, every block, was full of life, as if the whole city had woken up from its slumber and was running in an instant on this morning.

Xia Ran let out a long sigh, he couldn't tell what kind of feeling he was feeling in his heart now, but it was really subtle.

Unrealistic?

Probably there is, and it still occupies a lot of weight, after all, he has only lived in a cruel apocalyptic world for a long time, and he has accepted reality no matter what. And unlike the previous world of "Parasite", the situation in that world was not particularly bad.

Those parasitic beasts are also hidden in the dark side of human society, and on the whole, the world has not changed much, so it is not enough for Xia Ran to feel that the contrast is huge.

And the world of doomsday zombies is that the entire human civilization has been destroyed and everything has been turned upside down...... So now that he has returned to his own world, Xia Ran deeply feels the existence of this sense of separation.

Rubbing his temples with some distress, Xia Ran walked towards the school step by step, this situation is really troublesome, although not to mention how terrible it is, but it is the same as jet lag, it is really not a good experience.

It's not a matter of adaptation, nor is it because of his poor ability to accept and adjust.

It's because his "reality" has never been fixed, it's always changing, and this is very bad. No matter how much he adapts to the new worldview, but soon, reality will change again.

And that sense of chaos and separation is always with him, and he will not be absent many times, which has caused him a considerable degree of trouble.

Five minutes later.

Xia Ran, who looked troubled, stopped in front of the small alley not far from the school, which was a frequent place for accidents, and he tilted his head to look at the bullying scene where the thin boy inside was surrounded by a group of big men with five big and three thick.

Does this scene seem familiar? Has something like this ever happened before?

Well, I can't remember, maybe it's just a sense of déjà vu!

But it just so happens that I'm a little depressed now, and I'm worried that I can't find a reason to vent, so let's take a look at righteousness by the way. Xia Ran threw down his schoolbag, and then walked briskly into the alley.

It was about the sound that attracted the minds of a few people at the end of the alley, and the thin high school student who was being bullied turned his head and was stunned.

And several big men are exactly the same, their faces directly become a little difficult to look at, and at the same time, they also feel that some parts of their bodies are faintly painful.

But soon, they reacted, gritted their teeth and forced themselves to rush forward without hesitation.

- How is this nosy neurotic again?!

And it's obviously a student, he doesn't look like he has any muscle lines, he looks white and clean, why can he fight so well!

It's just that the young master doesn't like to expose his extreme background, and he doesn't want to be isolated and excluded by his classmates like he used to study...... Their group of subordinates also have to think about the young master, and there is no way to explain it at all.

What else can be done? One by one, they could only force themselves to rush forward with tears in their eyes...... Don't even think about explaining, anyway, let's just let such a misunderstanding sit down......

And they can't retaliate afterwards, because so many people can't beat a high school student head-on, it's already very embarrassing, and they don't have the face to say it. And the rest of the organization will only laugh at them, and they will not feel the same hatred.

Second, the young master will never allow this kind of thing to happen...... So, what is this called, obviously just to care about the young master, to report some things normally, why do you have to be beaten inexplicably?

At this moment, when this group of big men fell, not only their faces were distorted, but their eyes were still somewhat moist.

After beating this group of guys who knew at a glance that they were not good people, Xia Ran, who had done a good deed every day, felt that his thoughts were clear, and exhaled a mouthful of turbidity in his heart, then turned around and walked to the entrance of the alley, picked up his schoolbag and patted the dust on it.

As if he had ignored something, he thought about it and looked back at the thin high school student who was stunned and frozen:

"That, this classmate, you'd better not walk this path alone in the future, it's dangerous......"

“……”

“……”

"Uh...... Thank you, thank you, classmate. The thin boy looked at the corpse on the ground, his mind was clouded, and after a long time, he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and thanked Xia Ran.

The expression was very reluctant, and smiling was not much better than crying, but Xia Ran didn't care, just thought that this bean sprout-like high school student was too timid, and he was just scared, and now he can't return to his normal state of mind for a while.

Speaking of which, the emotions of the members of the club just now seemed to be a little wrong, and Xia Ran felt a little incomprehensible.

"It's going to ring, don't you have to go to school?" Xia Ran took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, then sighed and sent an invitation to the scared thin boy, "Let's go together." ”

"Huh...... This, this ......" glanced at the several corpses on the ground, the thin boy had no reason to object, and he was afraid of arousing suspicion, so he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Thank you, classmate." ”

The two walked out of the alley and continued along the main road.

“…… Actually, I don't want to go down this path, but I just transferred this semester, so I'm not too familiar with this area......"

Maybe there is a ghost in his heart, and the thin boy suddenly said this, as if he wanted to give a reasonable explanation for the fact that he was blocked by the extremists twice in a row.

"That's why you bumped into something like this twice in a row, it's really ...... I'm really sorry for the trouble. ”

Hey? Twice?

So, did you really save him once before?

Xia Ran's attention was completely off, he nodded thoughtfully, and responded without being salty, but he was thinking about when this happened.

However, in the eyes of the thin boy, this classmate was already suspicious of something, and he suddenly secretly complained, what he was most afraid of was such a thing, he had suffered like this before.

He really doesn't want to be isolated and excluded anymore, and he has spent three years of high school alone, is it so difficult for him to be an ordinary high school student? No way! Absolutely not, it can't be related to gang color!

"That's what I'm called Ichijo Le...... This classmate, I haven't asked for your name yet. The thin boy hurriedly wanted to distract the other party with a new topic, "Speaking of which, your skills are really good!" ”

"Oh, my name is Chen Zhen."

Xia Ran waved his hand and replied absentmindedly.

(PS: Happy Chinese New Year's Eve, I wish you all a smooth and prosperous life, all your wishes come true, and grow up quickly...... Ah, it's been a busy day, and I have to keep a vigil tonight. Firecrackers are set off in the countryside, starting on time at 12 o'clock, and they are still deafening until about two or three o'clock in the morning, and they line up to set off ...... I don't know if I can sleep...... ）
