Chapter 357: Fear
For a Celestial Empire high school student, the most important thing in life is the college entrance examination, and the second most important ...... It's the final exam.
Yan Xiaoqian is a sophomore in high school this year, as a high school student preparing for next year's college entrance examination, this final exam is undoubtedly a watershed in the division of students before the college entrance examination, and it also determines that in the third year of high school, it is the key to be treated as a top student, an ordinary student, or a poor student who has been abandoned.
From this point of view alone, even if this final exam is not as good as the last three years of high school and the exam of re-class, it is not as important as the college entrance examination itself, and it can be said that the results of this examination can also subtly determine the path of a person's future life.
This is also the concept that the Celestial Empire has had since ancient times, as the so-called everything is inferior, only reading is high, for parents, even if the child has an extraordinary ability far beyond ordinary people, it is a superman who guards the world and protects the peace of the earth, if the test results are not good, it will also make them lose face.
Isn't there such a saying, there are three kinds of birds in this world, one is a smart and talented bird, like the Roc only hates the sky and does not want to fly, no matter how slack, only a flap of wings can soar up to 90,000 miles; One is the stupid bird, although it is born dull and does not have the innate talent of the former, but the stupid bird flies first, one step ahead, relies on diligence to make up for the clumsiness, struggles for ten more years and eight years, and can finally fly to a high place for people to look up to; As for the third bird...... It's the kind of old magpie that doesn't want to fly, lays eggs in its nest, and expects to hatch a big peng to fly for it - of course, in most cases, this kind of chirping bird will be all the way even if it hatches eggs, even if there are a few that can fly occasionally...... No one dares to say whether it is the credit of the old king dove next door occupying the magpie's nest.
Yan Xiaoqian herself, probably belongs to the "second generation of birds" who have high hopes for the third type of bird - in addition to being glorious and honoring her ancestors, she also shoulders the function of bragging for her parents to raise their faces in front of people to earn face, and if she can marry the first bird with a high diploma in the future, it will also be a beautiful thing.
Of course, the most crucial sentence is "it's all for your good...... At least in the mouths of her parents.
As I said before, this final exam is really important, with Yan Xiaoqian's own character, her mental state will naturally not be too good under this pressure, coupled with the hot weather, in the recent period, her academic performance has not risen but fallen, and she has been criticized by the teacher for several days.
Therefore, in the last few days before the exam, she had to add an extra period of self-study time for herself after the so-called "after-school voluntary tutoring" time arranged by the school, which was used to study the large pile of test papers and exercises sent out by the teacher in bundles every day.
The same is true for Yan Xiaoqian today, although Mao Lili had repeatedly told her to go home early at night, but in order to figure out a cold math problem, she stayed at school until more than ten o'clock, and then hurriedly ran out of the school gate with a heavy schoolbag.
Although there were street lights on the road, looking at the dim sky, the timid girl was still a little panicked, and quickly lowered her head, quickened her pace and ran in the direction of the apartment.
I don't know why, usually the streets of the imperial capital that should still remain noisy and bustling at this time are extraordinarily quiet today, so quiet that Yan Xiaoqian didn't see any pedestrians or any cars all the way over, such a strange atmosphere also made her heart more and more panicked.
"Woo......"
With such a mournful sound coming from her small nose, the girl tried to make her stride bigger, but the heavy schoolbag behind her made her delicate and frail unable to cope with it.
It was at this time that the street lamp overhead suddenly made a short-circuit sound and broke down.
The surrounding light suddenly dimmed.
I don't know when a faint fog began to fill the air – although the city has become accustomed to smog, this time it doesn't seem to be a product of air pollution.
The opaque white mist began to quietly diffuse around the girl's body, swallowing and isolating the light of the surrounding street lamps little by little, and the air seemed to become viscous because of this, and the solemn atmosphere also made the panicked Yan Xiaoqian more and more difficult.
"Woooooooooo......oo Where are you, police sister...... Come and save me......"
A small scream came out of her throat, and then, Yan Xiaoqian was even more frightened to find that she couldn't find her way home.
That's right, although she has been walking this road for several months, but I don't know why, the road that has been imprinted in her brain and formed an inertial memory has been cut off by the diffuse white fog, and replaced by a fork in the road that looks eerie no matter how you look at it.
"Meow ......"
I don't know where there came from a lazy cat meow, and then the crisp sound of the bushes in the green belt, as if something terrible was quietly approaching, such a sound made Yan Xiaoqian's nerves tense to the extreme.
So, in a panic, she finally bit her lip, chose one of several deep forks in the road, and ran in a panic.
The most important thing for her now is not to find her way home, but to get out of the frightening darkness around her as soon as possible.
However, as she stumbled, the light, which seemed close at hand, became unattainable.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
One after another, one after another, the street lamps burst in the air, and the sound finally broke the last string that the girl was tense, and her heart was completely occupied by fear.
"Ahh
At the same time that Yan Xiaoqian screamed, at the end of the distant road, the last light was still radiating light, and the flickering street lights flickered and flickered, bringing a terrifying, pitch-black shadow into her eyes from afar.
It was obviously not a shadow of a human being—even in the midst of a distracting fear, Yan Xiaoqian's only remaining consciousness still told her, because it was impossible for humans to have such an outline.
Long ears, a thick torso with limbs, a tail that drags between the legs, and...... Spread out on either side of the shadow, hideous wings.
"Eat...... You ......"
With a harsh, hoarse voice, the shadow began to lengthen, and the blackness of the shadow became darker and darker.
However, from beginning to end, Yan Xiaoqian didn't hear any footsteps, let alone see the terrifying monster approaching.
All she knew was that a terrifying aura had locked onto her petite body from afar—she couldn't even use her supernatural abilities.
Finally, the elongated shadow completely engulfed her body, swallowing up the last shred of light in front of her eyes.
"Eat Your ......"
When the same voice came out again at a close distance, Yan Xiaoqian knew that this meant that her life was probably going to end tonight.
"Save ...... Help ......"
She tried to call for help, but her throat was no longer sound, and her feet that tried to retreat did not listen, and finally farted. The stock fell and sat on the ground.
The pain of the fall finally freed her consciousness from her fear for a brief moment.
It was at this moment that she finally saw clearly.
The true face of the "monster" who was going to take her life in the next moment.
