The Flame of All Things Chapter 41—Nightmare
"You don't have to die, you have a mission that you must complete. Don't think you can escape, it's your fate. ”
Chaos grabbed him by the neckline, and those deep pupils erupted with a faint blue glow. A wail came from Gu Xiaobei's mind, and then something disappeared completely.
An unprecedented force is poured into the body.
All the dream images began to crumble.
He stopped abruptly and opened his eyes in the cold morning wind, covered in cold sweat. The sound of cars whizzing by.
"Have you decided?" asked Gu Qianqian on the side.
"Decide what. Gu Xiaobei's heart was beating violently, and he hadn't recovered from the dream just now.
"Drop out! Did you listen to me!. ”
Gu Qian stomped on Gu Xiaobei's feet angrily. Gu Xiaobei almost jumped up in pain, and his eyelids closed before the tears could come out.
Gu Qianqian felt as if she was really trying too hard and wanted to apologize.
Headless and brainless, he raised his hand and touched her head. What is this, touching the head to kill?
Although he didn't want to do that, his body moved on its own.
"What are you doing?" she instinctively tried to step back, but her body didn't move. Bear it silently like a peaceful kitten.
"We're not going to back down...... Until the end of the day. It's so cold, this sentence seems to have been frozen in an ice cellar for 10,000 years, and it makes people stand up when they hear it.
It's another strange line, what's wrong with you. The body is completely uncontrolled, but everything in the eyes is real.
"Hey...... You...... What the hell are you talking about?" Gu Qianqian's face turned red, and the tears on her face had not yet dried.
"Do not be afraid, we will not leave us on the road to the bottom of the world until you and I end. ”
Oh my God, what an embarrassing second-rate stage play line.
Gu Xiaobei was embarrassed and was about to commit cancer, but his body was not controlled by him. If you suddenly say such a tragic thing on a crowded street, you will be taken for a fool, right?
"Old mother, you don't have a fever and burn out your brain, do you?" she wanted to reach out and touch Gu Xiaobei's forehead. This cousin is like being poisoned, and his mouth is full of some funny middle two lines.
"It's cold......" he exclaimed.
Every few seconds, he felt like he was in a cold, dark depth, the frosty wind blowing on his face and the white snow on his brow.
But this is obviously on the street, although pedestrians do not wear T-shirts and shorts, but at most they only wear jackets.
Gu Qianqian felt that this cousin's brain might really be burned out, she reached out and touched his forehead, but as soon as she touched his skin, her fingers seemed to touch a piece of cold and hard ice, and subconsciously retracted a little.
"What's wrong with you, old mother, come back to the hospital with me, your forehead is scary. ”
"It's cold...... He said again.
Hold yourself in your arms. He was still wearing the pajamas of patients from the hospital. The pajamas were thick, but there was no way to guarantee his temperature.
But it didn't work, the cold was eating away at him little by little, and he almost had to freeze his blood.
He stood up, oblivious to what was in front of him, like a scorching flame drawing him.
He hugged the flame.
The cold that eroded his body receded like a tidal wave, and he ran to some unknown corner and hid again. Little by little, the blood in the body resumes flowing.
The body can also be controlled.
He didn't know how embarrassing the picture would be for him at this time. The girl who hugged for the first time in her life was actually her cousin.
But he was really too cold just now, and there was nothing else in his eyes, only a vague flame.
"Right...... I'm sorry. ”
As if his hands had been electrified, he hurriedly retracted and put them behind his back at a loss.
"It doesn't matter. ”
"Sissi ......"
"What are you going to say?" Gu Qianqian raised her head and looked into his eyes.
"Uh...... It's nothing, go back, let go of dropping out, I don't want to just give up. Life here is more interesting than it used to be. ”
“......”
"Let's go...... I'll invite you to dinner in the evening, okay?"
"You're going to cry, old mom. ”
"Then you invite me. ”
Gu Xiaobei pushed his cousin's shoulder, sneering on his face for a long time.

Gusuri, House Square
The house is located on a vacant lot north of the college, which is actually a Japanese-style house. The Academy's Knife Skills class is not held here, but all students who have filled in the elective course "Sword Skills and Knife Skills Intensive" will need to report here before the course starts.
The floor is pure wood, and there will be a squeaky sound when stepped on it. There are some photos of exchanges and cooperation with Japan on the walls, and Gusuri is a Sino-foreign joint venture college, so naturally there are competitions for exchanges with the outside world every year.
Gussuri is said to have branches in the United States, and the local baseball team and basketball are quite famous.
Young man with printer paper walks around the hallway with crappy clogs.
Occasionally, a quaint sword would hang on one of the walls, and the young man would stop, stop and look at it for a few seconds, and then reluctantly leave. It looks like he'd love to pull it off and play with it, but he won't do that, it's rude!
The owner of the house, who is also the teacher of this elective course, is named Lu Youqi, which is the same as the wireless network transmitter router. When he first got the printer paper, Gu Xiaobei thought that this teacher was not using his real name.
There was a waiter in the living room who was kneeling and resting, and Gu Xiaobei also knelt down.
He sat on his knees for thirty minutes before waiting for the strangely dressed teacher to come out, and when he first saw him, Gu Xiaobei thought it was a sloppy Japanese samurai who came out of a certain comic.
The gray-black feather weave was loosely unshaped, and her long hair was tied up but still looked like a raged bird's nest. The face that had not been taken care of for a long time was covered with stubble, and the bags under his eyes drooped deeply as if to tell others that he hadn't slept for days, and when he first came out, he was stretching, and the grass roots in his mouth fell to the ground.
"Please...... May I ask if you are Teacher Lu Youqi?" Gu Xiaobei was a little thundered, is this sure that it is not some sloppy uncle who is in COS Japanese samurai?
As a highly qualified otaku, shouldn't the image of a samurai in his understanding be a heroic image like Kenshin Krumura, with sharp eyes that can kill?
What is the matter with this frail middle-aged sloppy uncle who is loose and sloppy, as if the wind can blow it down, and that face does not look Japanese.
He finally understood why, although the name of this course was "Knife Technique and Knife Skill Refinement", he was the only one who finally signed up.
There are many people in the student body who are obsessed with Taidao, but almost all of them flock to the formal "knife art class", which is a simple and practical elective course.
As soon as he wanted to regret it, Mr. Lu in front of him gave him a good lesson.
The middle-aged uncle took his elective course list, and his eyes were glazed for a long time.
"Student. Lu Youqi said with disappointment.
“...... Mr. Lu, do you have any questions?"
"Call me Lu Youqi. He said as he bit the grass.
"This ...... Not so good. ”
"What's wrong with this, your name is Gu Xiaobei, right, I will call you Gu Xiaobei in the future. Treat people equally, right?"
The sloppy uncle looked at him with a questioning gaze.
Gu Xiaobei couldn't resist the pressure, so he had to agree and nod. But what he thought to himself was, what the hell is going on? Do you want to call a teacher by his name for a semester? If no one knows, forget it, if others hear about his reputation, it will be ugly.
"Come with me to get some clothes, and then you can go, and the specific class will start tomorrow. ”
Gu Xiaobei's head lit up like a chicken pecking rice, and then carefully followed Lu Youqi.
The house is very deep, and from the outside it is just a courtyard, and at the back of the courtyard there is a place that looks like a large road. It was filled with stake figures made of straw.
The ground is littered with fallen leaves, and it looks like it's been abandoned for a long time. But to be able to have such a large scale, I think the scene here must have been spectacular back then.
Lu Youqi rummaged through the warehouse for a long time, and finally found a small feather weaving, which looked a little shabby.
"Don't think about it, the academy won't pick the door, it's just that I don't want to order a new one. ”
Gu Xiaobei said that it didn't matter, just clothes, things outside his body.
