Chapter 14: The Lost World I
1
The cold air currents churned the quiet air, tumbling, tearing, devouring, and then merging into one.
After mid-December, the temperature plummeted. Not even my coat could stop the chill with the moisture. The cold in the south is different from that in the north, and the high density of water vapor in the air makes all thick clothes look ridiculously weak. Even if you drag thick and heavy clothes, the air flow passes, and the chill will only break through the shield and go deep into the bone marrow.
It's 5 p.m. on December 13th, and it's Wednesday, so I'm supposed to be at school, but now I'm staying home.
According to the time calculation, today's "anomaly" will occur at 6 p.m., that is, an hour later.
In the early morning of December 9th, I went to M-shaped Mountain, and the next day, [Lianwen disappeared].
The phone is also turned off, and she can't be found anywhere.
Things got so bad, I never expected anything like this.
I had a terrible thought in my heart, could it be that Lianwen knew something on the night of the 9th. Someone who knows the secret of the "anomalous" will disappear?
I knew she was following me that night, and she was bound to find something. I'm also getting ready to look for clues from her the next day.
But - she disappeared.
I am not only worried about my current situation, but also worried about the safety of Lianwen.
If the people who know the secret do disappear, then I can't get more people involved. But I don't think that's very likely.
No memories of her have been forgotten, and nothing else is out of the ordinary. Meaning, Lianwen is just missing.
In order to find her, I skipped class and ran around Qianshan City, looking for all the places she could go. There are still no clues, so I can only sit at home and calm down.
"How can we achieve the evaporation ...... the world?"
Will she go to another city?
I asked her relatives for help and called the police for help, but so far the police have not provided any information.
I collapsed in bed, feeling like what I was doing was in vain.
In order to kill time, especially after the "abnormality" occurred at night, I couldn't sleep and had to write my math homework. Before I knew it, I had finished the entire workbook. So I had to rummage through the cabinets to read the book, I had already read the novel of "The God of Emotions" twice, and I had read most of the obscure "The Origin of the Universe".
Mom wasn't at home and didn't know what to do. I was the only one in the house, and I was forced to get up in order to solve the problem of dinner, and I had to hurry up, because I would definitely not have a hot meal after the "abnormality" at six o'clock.
I squeezed my feet into my black boots, put on a coat, pulled my knitted hat out of my coat pocket, and found my casually dropped patch headphones from the couch, unpacked them and fitted them to my ears. With a thud, the headphones opened like a shape-shifting machine, enveloping my entire outer ear, and I was completely isolated from the outside world. After picking up my backpack from my seat and locking the door, I went downstairs to look for my electric car. - On second thought, dinner is settled near Sendo East Road, so there is no need to ride.
As soon as she opened the door to the first floor, a familiar person stood in front of her, her hand in front of the doorbell, almost ringing.
"President Bian Mianxue...... How did you end up here. β
I was amazed at her appearance.
"Who told you not to come to school all the time, and the class president is not there, and I, as the vice class president, am the student president - I am going to take care of you, a bad student."
She said dissatisfiedly, although it was past the end of school time, it was only 5:40, and our school ended at 5:25, and she didn't take personal transportation. Could it be that she will teleport, first after dinner, and then teleport, life and work are not wrong. - How is this possible, am I an idiot?
Seeing that she had no intention of explaining, I didn't need to ask her that question.
Just as if she could teleport.
"Why aren't you surprised at all by my arrival?"
She grabbed me by the shoulders and said.
"Is there one? I was surprised. β
"Your expression is not at all."
That's tall, this girl. Standing in front of her would be intimidated by her sense of majesty.
"Maybe I've always been like this......"
I squeezed out a smile, but I did feel a little tired.
"That's how you have been since Lianwen disappeared."
She said rushedly. What are you kidding, I haven't seen Mianxue since Lianwen disappeared.
"You've only been to school once, since."
Mianxue remembers it so clearly, I don't even remember if I ever went to school...... Ah, there were.
"So what are you coming to my house for?"
I quickly digressed the subject.
"I'll give you the materials for the next few days."
"Thank you."
I took the materials and put them in my bag without looking at them.
Mianxue frowned, her eyes seemed to shoot sparks, and dissatisfaction was written all over her face.
"Don't want to leave, I'll ask for an understanding."
She grabbed me again, who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to slip away.
ββ¦β¦β
I'm so hungry.
"I'm so hungry."
Oops, say what is in your heart.
"I haven't eaten either, let's go together."
"Ahh I'm a little sleepy, so I'd better go back to sleep. β
"I'm sleepy too, I'll sleep with you."
"You, the student council president, are really competent, and you have begun to go deep into the private space of students."
"If you try to run again, I'm going to violate you."
Did I just say the word violation? What the hell is she doing?
I bowed my head weakly for a moment, so I had to echo her words.
"Then let's go eat."
The cold wind blew, and I shrugged my shoulders because of the cold, and walked away on my own. Mianxue immediately followed.
She was wearing a brown down jacket today, tightly cinched at her belt, the down was turned out at her collarbone, and she wore only a thin gray dress inside. The down jacket covered her hips and thighs, and it was only from the calves that she was wearing black leggings. A lock of long black hair was draped over his shoulders, and when the wind blew, he flew slightly, and his sparkling eyes shone with aura and righteousness.
This kid is very suitable to be a lawyer, if she stands in the courtroom like this, no one in the four seats dares to speak out.
"What to eat?"
"Rice noodles ......"
I didn't think of anything else. What's more, in my mind, the status of rice noodles is incomparable, and it is not an exaggeration to treat rice noodles as three meals a day.
I walked east along Sendo East Road 2nd Road, deliberately slowing down.
"Eh, Renqinghe."
"Huh?"
"Is Lianwen really that important to you?"
ββ¦β¦β
I stopped.
"yes."
I answered in the affirmative.
If you want to ask me if it's important, it's definitely important.
"Really? β¦β¦ It's weird. β
"What's weird?"
"I thought you were going to break up your friendship and sit apart."
"What are you talking about?"
It's not that I don't really understand, I'm just pretending not to understand.
"Things happened in elementary school, you won't forget that I was in elementary school with you. At that time, the spring outing was still with you. β
"Is there such a thing?"
"Until now, you have been regarded as a public enemy by your classmates in elementary school."
"Oh...... That's right. β
There was a sudden silence between us.
"Thank you."
It was I who broke the silence first.
"Thank me for what?"
She seemed puzzled.
"After that, you were the one who helped me out. I was bullied by my classmates, and you also intervened. β
That's right, after the spring outing in elementary school, I was bullied many times by my classmates who had a "strong sense of justice", and the head teacher who stood on the opposite side also turned a blind eye. At this time, only Mianxue will make a sound.
Although I didn't really care about what happened to me, after all, Mianxue saved me a lot of trouble.
"Is there such a thing?"
Mianxue seemed to have forgotten, looking at her expression, it was estimated that she had really forgotten.
"You still have the face to laugh at me for forgot?"
I sarcastically said that it made her suddenly angry and muttered a bunch of words.
"EhβRenqing River."
As soon as the conversation changed, Mianxue suddenly called my full name again.
In fact, everyone's opinions on Lianwen are just momentary words. Don't take it too seriously. β
"I didn't."
"Of course, everyone is very concerned about the missing Xiao Lianwen, but there are a few classmates who don't know what to do, and I've already taught me a lesson. - So, don't be angry. β
After the disappearance of the love text, I went to school once, and most of the people had an indifferent attitude towards the missing love text. There are even some people who secretly say bad things about her behind her back and make some malicious speculations.
Where I can't see, maybe even more.
But as Mianxue said, this is a minority after all.
I'm not angry about this, but more often than not, I don't agree with their speculation because they don't understand the state of affairs.
"You've been on sick leave these days, I see you're in good health now, go back to school tomorrow."
Lianwen said to me.
"Ahem...... I don't know why, my lungs suddenly felt bad. Ah, it looks like I have a cold and fever. Yes! My shoulder hurts too, is it dislocated? β
I began to exaggerate my performances. At this time, Mianxue's whole person suddenly approached me, covered my forehead with her palm, and after a few seconds, put her palm on her forehead.
"It's not the same temperature as mine."
"That could be if you have a fever too."
"Then I'll take sick leave with you."
"The student councillor gave me a good time to go back to school."
"The student council president also has the right to be sick."
Why is this guy's speaking style more and more like a love text? Did she eavesdrop on the way Lianwen spoke?
Hmph, it's still far from my family's love text. Since the awakening of the little demon attribute, I am a new human who has lived under the "demon control" of Koshiwen for six years.
"Renqing Riverβ"
Mianxue called my name again, why does she like to call my name so much today? Can I increase my performance once?
"The way you look now is very much like when you were then."
"How so?"
I was shocked by what she said.
"Because you're acting too indifferent. You were like that back then, saying something incredible with an indifferent expression. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Because it's so real, I always feel like you're such a cold-blooded person. However, I subconsciously feel that you are not that kind of person. β
Her eagle gaze shook me, as if it were about to penetrate me.
"I hope you don't do anything out of the ordinary again."
She made her point clear and cornered me.
I woke up my watch and peeked at the time.
One and a half minutes left.
ββ¦β¦β
"Answer me."
She approached again, like a tank approaching on the battlefield, and the muzzle of the tank was still pointed at someone else.
"Really? I don't really understand what it means to be out of line. β
I looked her in the eye, and I didn't look afraid, at least I couldn't lose in momentum. It's really hard.
"I think you understand, don't digress and answer me."
She was determined to have an answer, and her intention was obvious.
Thirty seconds to go.
"To your question...... I think ......"
I said it deliberately slowly.
"Promise me."
She added. How did it become a promise? Wasn't it still a request just now?
"Let's put it this way, from my point of view, my own thoughts, and the reality of the situation, that is, for what you're talking aboutβ"
Before I could finish speaking, there was no one in my sight.
In the blink of an eye, all the pedestrians who should have been there disappeared.
The city, the world, began a long dark night again.
In the empty world, I stood alone on the street.
ββ¦β¦β
I bowed my head.
