Chapter 1 "Awakening"
"Quick... Come on! Ah Yang! The monster is catching up! You... If you put me down quickly, and carry me like this, no one will be able to escape! ”
"Shut up! Don't talk! This will only speed up my physical exertion! ”
"But..."
"I've lost one of the most important people in my life! Do you want me to see my best brother die in front of me?! ”
......
Nanwan Middle School shrouded in fog is becoming more and more dark and weird, the fog is still gradually deepening, and the visibility of those in it is almost to the point where you can't see your fingers!
Somewhere on the trail, two teenagers who seemed to be about seventeen or eighteen years old were hobbling forward. One of the teenagers, who seemed to have been injured by some sharp object on the right side of his thigh, had a deep wound, and although he was urgently bandaged to stop the bleeding, he was still bleeding and was carried forward by another teenager. The two of them had many torn clothes, as if they had been attacked by a beast.
......
It didn't take long for the two of them to be overstretched, and their progress was stopped.
In the quiet and eerie environment, Lou Dong couldn't help but think of before...
"Ah Yang... I'm sorry, I... If it weren't for me... Xiaoya, she won't ......," Lou Dong choked up a little.
"Say no more! It's none of your business at all! If you want to blame me, you should blame me! Blame me for my incompetence! Blame me for my cowardice! Ten years ago it was! The same is true today! Why?! Why is that!! Why do you always take the people I love closest and most from me?! ”
Qi Yang roared as if venting, and then his body was paralyzed as if deflated, and his eyes lost their luster like a walking corpse.
Seeing Qi Yang collapse to the ground like mud after venting, Lou Dong wanted to step forward to comfort him.
"Hiss~" Lou Dong slowly leaned on the body of the big tree beside him, but accidentally pulled the wound on his thigh.
"Ah Yang, cheer up! Don't carry everything on your back, like that... It's so tiring... None of us knew that paranormal events that we could only see on TV could happen to us......"
"When I was a child, I and Xiaoya accompanied you and wanted to enlighten you, but you always smiled and said, 'It's okay, time will slowly dilute all this.'" I know that every time you say that, you always turn your back to us and cry... You never show us your sad side, and you always vent all your negative emotions silently. ”
“...... But, we are friends! It's brothers! If something happens, I'll carry it with you! If there is difficulty, we will top it together! Though... We've never heard of survivors left in the area other than you, after a paranormal event. But! Aren't you the exception?! ”
"Ah Yang! Alive! There is hope to be alive! Only by staying alive can you find your uncle and aunt! to find Xiaoya! Even..."Lou Dong's voice did not fall.
"What a touching brotherhood! It's a pity ~ today... You guys... All! Get! Die! ”
The sound seemed to come out from all directions at the same time, full of murderous aura, making people stand tall for a moment!
Qi Yang, who heard the voice, instantly constricted his pupils!
"Run! Lou Dong! ”
Lou Dong hasn't had time to make a move...
"Wood Spirit, Elemental Armament! Control! Imprisoned by the Forest! ”
I saw that the tree next to Lou Dong's body suddenly disappeared, and a decomposed wooden cage appeared around it, and in the next second, it was already firmly imprisoned!
Qi Yang saw that Lou Dong was imprisoned by the wooden cage that suddenly appeared and wanted to come to the rescue, but he was restrained by the vines that suddenly appeared around him, and couldn't help but roar: "No! Don't! ”
"A weak howl only shows your incompetence even more! People from the other world..."
Looking at the black-robed man who suddenly appeared, Qi Yang couldn't help but stop breathing for a moment.
"Bastard! That's you, right?! You're the one who caused all this! Who are you?! "The killing intent in Qi Yang's eyes is infinite! It was as if he wanted to swallow the flesh and bones of the black-robed man who suddenly appeared in front of him!
"Who am I? You... Not qualified to know..."
The black-robed man said and slowly pulled down the brim of his hat, revealing a pair of skeletal cheeks! Two blue ghost fires ignited in his eyes! It's incomparably infiltrating to watch!
“...... Why are you doing this? What exactly is your purpose?! Qi Yang struggled, but the vines in front of him seemed to be a few points harder than steel!
Ignoring Qi Yang's hiss, the black-robed man stroked the ink-colored ring on the bony index finger of his right hand.
"Control! Strangling! ”
The vines around seemed to be alive, slowly wrapping around Lou Dong's body like a snake!
"Don't!! Lou Dong!! ”
Seeing that the vines were about to strangle Lou Dong, Qi Yang himself was helpless!
At that moment... It's as if the picture is still! Qi Yang's brain went blank...
And then....
"Whew! ~"Qi Yang sat up from the bed in a cold sweat!
"It turns out... Is it a dream? ”
Qi Yang turned around and glanced at the photo of himself and his parents on the left side of the bedside table, and then turned his head to look at the photo frame placed on the bedside table on the right, which was a group photo of the three of them, standing in the middle was Qi Yang himself, Lou Dong was holding his shoulder on the left, and the bright girl who was holding his arm and smiling on the right was a bright flower......
"Xiaoya..."
"It turns out... It's not a dream..."
......
At the end of the 22nd century, the earth is full of high-rise buildings, reinforced concrete, bright lights, and gorgeous dazzling, like a dreamlike prosperity.
However, under this prosperous land, there is an undercurrent surging.......
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the current affairs report column..., insert an update message! ......”
"Is it again......?" Qi Yang turned off the TV, walked to the balcony and muttered to himself as he watched the sunset.
The sunset in front of him was still exuding the last afterglow before the sunset, but the dead silence in the eyes of the young man who was watching the afterglow of the sunset was deep......
......
Qi Yang, a senior at Nanwan High School in H City, is currently preparing for the college entrance examination in June this year, which is a month later. As soon as he got home from school, Qi Yang sat on the sofa and turned on the TV and accidentally saw this news report.
The evening self-study time has ended, and some day teachers and students have gone home from school, but the high school branch of the Nanwan campus is still brightly lit, and there is only the chaotic sound of writing "rustling" in the classroom.
"Hey~ Ah Yang, the self-study is over! Let's go back to the dormitory. Lou Dong, who was also a close friend at the same table, whispered.
Qi Yang paused with his hand that was writing the test paper, and then continued to answer the question quickly.
Seeing this, Lou Dong helplessly lay on the table in the shape of a salted fish, looked at the 'nerd' who was struggling to write in front of him, and muttered: "It's already the first in the grade, and it's still working so hard, and you can't give us scumbags a way to live......"
As the night deepened, the lights went out.
The classroom gradually became a little empty as the students left in twos and threes, and the "rustling" sound of writing in the room gradually died down.
Qi Yang stopped the pen in his hand and looked at the results of tonight's battle, a trace of tiredness flashed in his eyebrows.
"Let's go, the lights are going out, it's time for us to go back to the dorm." Qi Yang helplessly woke up the dead friend who was sleeping soundly next to him.
"Hmm~ Can I finally go back to the dormitory?" Lou Dong stood up and stretched, wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, Xiaoya! Don't sit there! Didn't you hear your little lover say that he was leaving? ”
After hearing this, Qianying, who was sitting upright in the front row, immediately turned red at the root of her ears, and she didn't know if it was caused by anger or shyness......
"This idiot! Slut! What are you shouting about?! Saying such a thing, what will Brother Qi Yang think?! Ahhh ~ The old lady shouldn't have shown mercy last time......." Lin Yaxiu clenched her fists and said in turmoil.
Qi Yang slowly walked to Lin Ya's seat and whispered, "Xiaoya, let's go, it's a little late for self-study today, let's send you back to the dormitory first." ”
"Ahh Well, okay~" Lin Ya came back to her senses and immediately responded softly.
"Alas~ The sour smell of love~... Ahem! Lou Dong looked at the figures of the two who were almost disappearing outside the classroom door, and before he could finish sighing, he was frightened by Lin Ya's murderous eyes when he looked back at him.
......
The night of May is neither the cold of the beginning of spring, nor the scorching impetuousness of midsummer. At this time, it is the season when the gardenia blooms, walking on the garden path, the evening breeze blows, with a few wisps of fragrance, and it is a little cooler.
The three of them who studied on their own next night walked on the path back to the dormitory, and the surroundings were quiet, and the atmosphere was a little dull.
"Ahem~ There is still a way to go from the dormitory, let's talk about something, you two don't keep being like a stuffy gourd!" Lou Dong looked at the silent two people on the side and couldn't help but say.
"Did you read yesterday's news? There was a huge supernatural event in Sakura Country! The so-called "Shengyue" of the country, Mount Fugaku and all the living creatures in the surrounding thousands of miles, are all missing! Overnight! An active volcano! And the crowd around you! Animal! House building included! It's all gone! As if there had never been a trace! It's horrible! ”
Lou Dong suddenly remembered a topic, but after finishing speaking, he felt a little creepy! Goosebumps spread everywhere, and I couldn't help but wipe my arms.
"The Sakura Country Fugakuyama incident began on the evening of May 18, 2198, and it is speculated that the incident occurred after 11 o'clock that night. Four hours before the incident, at around 7 p.m., a passenger was driving past the area and had spoken to the locals. ”
"And the passenger also has a video of the scenery along the way, which is indeed a video record of the day of the incident, and it can be seen from the video that at seven o'clock that night, there was nothing abnormal in the place. The passenger was traveling at a speed of 120 km/h, which is extrapolated by adding the range of the incident on the night of the incident..."
"The time of the incident began only after the passenger drove out of the affected area, that is, after 11 o'clock that night."
Qi Yang said calmly.
"Uh...... Ah Yang, how do you know so clearly? Have you climbed over the wall to collect information on the Internet again? You..."
Before Lou Dong's words were finished, he was stopped by Lin Ya's serious eyes.
"Hmm... Not only this one, but also the 2177 Elizabeth Tower and The London Eye paranormal event in Great Britain, which is the first supernatural double event in the world, the supernatural event that occurred at the same time in Elizabeth Tower and the London Eye in Great Britain, and the incident occurred at 5 pm on the same day. ”
"Some people say that there was a strange 'mirage' phenomenon at that time, and a strange earthly scene was reflected above the sky of the two places, and according to the evidence provided by eyewitnesses, the vision presented at that time was not the scene of any country on the earth, so people also called it an otherworldly scene."
"The 'mirage' lasted only about ten minutes, and at the end of the day, the two landmark buildings in the place, including the surrounding series of housing buildings, all disappeared inexplicably, and no one knew the origin of the incident and the process of its occurrence."
"There is also the Statue of Liberty incident in the Eagle Country in 2180, the Eiffel Tower incident in France in 2185, the pyramid incident in Egypt in 2189, ......"
"Paranormal events appear randomly, and each time the vision is different, but the only thing that is the same is that it is constantly devouring the landmarks and creatures of the earth! Create a global panic! The frequency of supernatural events is also increasing......"
Lin Ya picked up the topic and told the news she knew.
“......”
"Ahem... Well, let's change the subject! Seeing that the two fell silent again, Lou Dong said with some embarrassment.
......
The three of them walked to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory in silence, and Lou Dong consciously walked forward first.
"Brother Ayang......" Lin Ya looked at Qi Yang with a slightly worried gaze.
"Xiaoya, I'm fine. You go up first and rest early. After speaking, Qi Yang curled the corners of his mouth and showed a faint smile.
Looking at the handsome young man in front of her with that refreshing smile, Lin Ya couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Hmm... See you tomorrow! Brother Ayang! ”
Lin Ya looked at the tall back that was slowly walking towards the men's dormitory in front, and said inwardly: "Brother Ayang, everything will be fine!" At least, Xiaoya will always be with you..."
