bgm: Tempest (Big Island)

Ark came to school groggily, still thinking about last night's dream, what did his sister's smile mean to him?

"It will grow well. "A boy saw him and greeted him.

"Hello. Ake barely smiled, he was a little tired, he hadn't thought things through.

"It will grow well. The boy repeated.

"Well, I know. Ake looked at him quizzically, feeling his gaze glazed over.

"It will grow well. The boy continued.

"Uh... What's wrong with you?" Ark patted him on the shoulder.

"It will grow well. ”

"Huh?。。 ”

Is this a prank, follow me?

"It will grow well. The boy's body trembled violently, and when he looked closely, his eyes were very dull and his mouth trembled.

"It's going to be long, it's going to be good. It will be—also—dirty—number. Would-"

He couldn't talk anymore. , like a malfunctioning machine.

"Hey, what the hell are you—"

- "It will grow well. . . It's—it's going to be good—"

At that moment, out of the corner of Ake's eye, he swept around and several more students gathered around, all of them muttering "Grow good, grow good, grow well" in the same strange way, just like a computer with an Endless Loop virus.

"You guys... Calm down, please give way, what the hell is going on?" Ark felt his brain clear a little, and he pushed through the crowd and ran towards his classroom.

Ake glanced behind him as he ran, and saw that almost everywhere he could see, everyone was walking towards him.

Those who come close to themselves will not come to hurt and attack themselves, and occasionally those who block the road can also be pushed out of the way, without causing too many obstacles.

But what does the situation look like in front of you? How weird is it? This makes Ark a little worried about whether going to the classroom now is the right choice.

What the hell is going on? Is it a board of directors? or is it a conspiracy of the student council?。。 No matter what, I can't go anywhere now, I can only go to the classroom first, and if the magpie is here, I can probably stabilize the situation.

Ark pushed through the crowd, through the crowd of people rushing towards him, darted down the hallways, and quickly climbed the stairs, and when he looked down from the upper floor, he saw a multitude of people rushing towards him, including students, faculty, and staff, and even many other staff members.

It's just like a zombie tide.

It was as if the whole school had come looking for him. The sight made his scalp tingle, and he quickened his steps.

- As long as you can find magpies... Certain..

Okay, faster than ever, he came to the door of the classroom, took two deep breaths, and calmed down. His eyes also regained some calm.

Normally, magpie should already be in the classroom at this time.

"Squeak-" The sound of the classroom door opening seemed loud and piercing like never before.

The classroom was quiet, all but the missing ones had arrived, all of them seated in their seats, their hands flat on their desks, and the teacher standing in front of the podium.

Everyone looked at him in unison, their movements were the same, and they were naturally dull, although their appearances were different, but they looked like they were carved out of a mold.

But Ake didn't care about this, he noticed that the magpie's position was empty, and his mood couldn't help but be a little complicated, lost, and happy.

Although I had a premonition, I was really not there, but I was lucky that I didn't become like that?。。 No, I'm worried about what he's doing, everyone has an accident, and he won't have an accident...

If he wasn't there, things would be even more difficult, and I didn't have a clue at all... Magpie, you can't be the devil, can anyone else really do such a thing? Or was it the accomplice of the man in the suit that night?

Thinking of this, Ake smiled bitterly. I don't know if it's because my sister has disappeared recently, I am haggard, and I am so busy with work that I didn't ask Magpie about it.

What now?

Ake sighed, thinking that he had sighed the most times in his life.

He smiled wryly and walked to his seat and sat down. The students' eyes also returned to the blackboard.

Now, if he goes outside, he will definitely be stuck in the crowd and won't be able to get out. Although these classmates didn't seem to be normal, at least they didn't gather around me and shout "President, President".

。。 And if someone really wants to do something to themselves, this kind of lineup can't escape no matter how they try, so it's better to wait and see.

Even at this time, Ake's brain remains calm and clear, and he actively thinks about ways to break the game, which is a kind of qualification and talent. Although he is no longer favored by magpies, there are many madmen in the world who are crazy and even scold themselves, and his point of view is not so important.

"Class. The teacher's voice rang out in the unusually silent classroom.

"Hello students. He read it from the book.

"Hello teacher. Everyone except Ake replied in unison.

Just as Ake was about to sit down, he had just bent down when he saw that the people around him had not sat down, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

"Hello students. ”

"Hello teacher. ”

"Hello students. ”

"Hello teacher. ”

"Classmate. — Hello guys. The teacher's voice became hoarse.

“。。 Teacher.. Good. The student's answer was no longer neat.

。。。 One by one, it is like an aging machine, doing repetitive work, and the same mistake cannot be carried out to the next step.

They're over, they're long over.

Ake didn't think of it for a reason.

Their voices suddenly became heavy and low-pitched, and there was a creepy discomfort in their ears, which they were no longer audible for, for they could no longer make a sound.

。。 Ahh

Shade.

The students and teachers were reduced to vertical shadows like pieces of paper, not human, with tall, rough bodies with twisted borders, body structures like children's graffiti, pale faces, and bottomless black eyes. It's like the most absurd thing that comes out of a fairy tale.

。。。 I really.. Should have known it a long time ago.

Ake was silent, his whole body was terribly cold, his legs were shaking, and he was almost unsteady on his feet, and he went straight to the window.

Outside the window are thousands of upright shadows. A small number of them are turning into shadows, like that, as if they are cruelly shedding their human skin from themselves, and are being transformed from human beings into another, indescribable thing.

But the outer skin is the outer skin after all, and if the essence has been changed, then the outer skin will fall off one day. It does not mean that all people are dependent on love, and they can all become gods, so as to completely change their skin and essence. Almost no one here has this qualification, and even if there is, it doesn't change anything.

Two tears crossed Ake's face.

He was laughing, laughing louder and louder, laughing like crazy, tears flowed into his mouth, Chen Shen trembled uncontrollably, as if he was spasming... It makes people feel more and more miserable about him, and at the same time a chill down his spine.

How could it be. Such.. I know.. I should have known this a long time ago, but... I.. Ahh

The original calmness was long gone, and Ake's mind was left with irrepressible pain, grief, guilt, madness, and chaos.

。。 I do like his sister, yes, I love my own sister... However, even this kind of thing is not as good as a hair of his sister, and it is not as good as half of her warm words. But ahh

But.. I wasn't lying at the time.

In the face of the student riot, in the face of a group of students who had gone wild after snorting "coffee", under the bright golden sun, Ake once spoke.

- "I like you the most. ”

。。 Although it is not worth mentioning compared to his sister, this is not an excuse to escape after all.

At one time, Magpie thought he had the qualifications of a "king".

The virtuous king will give everything for the sake of his people.

The tyrant needs his civilians to exist for him and die for him.

But Acre is neither, because no king will, or can, kill all his people with his own hands.

And.. Lemon.. I..

Ake's lips trembled, and he knew what he was talking and thinking at the moment.

The shadow-like medium began to spread out from under his feet, or rather, with him as the center, the world began to reverse, began to be modified. The rules of everything in the world are being rewritten at a rapid pace, and in just an instant, the entire city is covered.

Subsequently, people, bugs, birds, cats and dogs, streets, houses, plates, food, mobile phones, computers, tables and chairs, but the earth and the sky, the clouds in the sky, the colors of the sun. Everything is covered in shadows, shrouded in ominous colors.

Gray is spreading, gray is rampage, gray is crazy, gray is boiling. Gray is bringing everything to the end.

People screamed in panic, and car accidents happened one after another. But they don't immediately turn into shadows, and the houses and streets of the city are only slowly transforming.

The world in their vision has become a strange black, white and gray color, and the mystery is rapidly crumbling their understanding.

"Now, magpie. Has it already begun?" Yi Ai flew high in the air, and a magpie wearing "the other side" was suspended beside her.

"yes, yes, you see I didn't lie to you, did I?" magpie clapped happily, as simple as a child who had eaten a lollipop.

If he still had a sense of worry and crisis when things were about to start, when he saw the magnificent and incredible scene in front of him, that crisis had long been thrown out of the clouds, and he only felt that things had suddenly become extremely interesting and interesting.

Just looking at the wanton and nervous smile on his face, you know that he has not taken any medicine recently.

"The real mutation has just begun, and I'm afraid Ark himself didn't expect it?。。 I just don't know what the impact of his sister will be... ”

"Are they all going to die?" Yiai quietly looked at the city beneath her feet.

"Well, hard to say. But it should take some time, at least not for now, not to cause substantial harm, at least not to be stationary... Well, that's what I expected. ”

"Expected?"

"Huh. . . Magpie shook his head and did not answer.

"They have been affected, but it is only a matter of time before they are completely transformed, if they can escape from the area of influence, then there will be no sequelae, it depends on their respective creations. ”

Yi Ai looked up and looked up.

It's raining.

But black raindrops, as if they have been soaked in ink, or grayish are more appropriate.

Like tears, dripping down.

Rustle of falling leaves, snow and rain.

Melancholy is like a sigh.

Inexplicable sadness comes from it.
