Chapter 17: Midnight Terror

It was dark at night, and a piercing scream woke me from my dream.

The quilt was warm, I don't really remember it. But the sound grew louder and louder, and I felt that something was wrong, so I put on my coat and got up.

The voice was coming from downstairs. I also put on glasses to see better. I gently opened the door and looked down the balcony, but I saw nothing. Just as I was wondering if there was something unclean, I suddenly heard someone shouting my name downstairs. I looked down again, but there was a chill behind me.

It turned out to be Wang Ming!

I saw him dressed in black, and wearing the black hat that I burned for him. He walked forward mechanically, and his movements were very strange. He smiled wryly at me. The pale moonlight shone on his bloodless face, making it look eerie. His mouth was open, and there was a black hole inside, like an endless abyss.

But why didn't my wind chimes ring at all?

At this point, my legs couldn't help but move forward. He whispered my name again, and I uncontrollably crossed the balcony railing. I was terrified, and I knew I might die if I jumped like this.

But it was too late.

I closed my eyes, letting the wind whistle in my ears and let tears overflow my eyes.

But suddenly, the bracelet on my wrist trembled slightly, and the wind chimes rang.

At this time, I felt as if I didn't have that kind of rapid fall. I immediately opened my eyes, only to find myself being caught by a man who had gently landed on the ground.

It turned out to be the man in black who gave me wind chimes last time. He saved me again. Did the wind chimes ring just now because they sensed the owner?

Wang Ming cursed a few words in a low voice, and then fled in a strange posture. The man in black wanted to chase him, but Wang Ming had long since disappeared.

"Are you alright?" The man in black turned to me and asked me with concern.

I wiped away my tears in embarrassment and shook my head.

The man in black saw that I was fine, so he asked, "Do you know Wang Ming?"

"Recognize. His ghost had approached me before and asked me to help him burn a black hat. ”

He looked down at the ground, then muttered, "I've met him before. But now he is human. Do you know Jiang Yue? ”

"Could it be that Jiang Yue alsoβ€”" I stared at him with wide eyes.

"That's right. They died a strange death, but they were resurrected strangely, perhaps because someone deliberately took control of their bodies. But they've all approached you, suggesting that the person might be targeting you. ”

I was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Me?" But I'm just an ordinary high school student! ”

He was silent for a moment, then asked me, "Have you encountered anything strange lately?" ”

I suddenly remembered that I suddenly had yin and yang eyes, so I said excitedly, "Yes! I suddenly have yin and yang eyes during this time! ”

"Yin and Yang eyes? Can you stretch out your left hand? ”

I was a little confused for a moment, but I slowly stretched out my hand.

His slender hand gently grasped my left hand. His palms were warm. After a while, I had a wonderful sensation, as if a warm current was gradually rushing from my palm to my brain.

My vision blurred, and my consciousness blurred. I still seem to hear someone whispering next to me, "Yuxian, come with me." ”

A familiar and pleasant smell came from all around.

Some dreamlike scenes are clearer.

The young man, dressed in white and wearing a white gauze hat, slowly approached me step by step. The white veil covers his face, which makes people feel very mysterious. Just as he stopped in front of me and stretched out his hand to me, the gentle voice of the man in black suddenly woke me up from my dream.

He asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

That's when I realized that my face was full of tears. I quickly wiped my face and pretended not to care: "It's nothing." ”

He didn't go any further, but said to me, "I don't feel your future, and I don't see your past." ”

I didn't quite understand what he was saying, so I asked, "What do you mean?" ”

He patiently explained to me, "Maybe your yin and yang eyes have something to do with your fate. Did you eat something like a corpse mushroom that grew from a dead man's bones? This thing is easy to make people who are weak in eight characters open their eyes. ”

When I heard it, I thought it was a little incredible. But it occurred to me that I had started to see something unclean after eating the plate of wild mushrooms my mother had made.

"Is that thing green?" I've actually guessed eight or nine points, and my stomach is tumbling for a while.

"Yes. The corpse mushroom uses the grievances of the dead as fertilizer, and the greater the grievances when the person dies, the better the corpse mushrooms will grow. You are too weak, the corpse mushroom is an evil thing with a very heavy yin qi, and after you eat it, it is easier to provoke dirty things. The wind chimes I gave you last time are a treasure to ward off evil spirits, and you can wear them on your body at any time to avoid evil. ”

"Thank you so much. You've saved me so many times. I don't even know how to repay you. I said gratefully.

He was a little shy, and hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "It's a trivial matter, not enough to worry about." ”

"I've always had a question. May I ask you? I plucked up the courage to say to him.

He nodded.

"Are you impermanent?"

He laughed behind the black veil, then replied, "No. It's a bit like this one, though. It is equivalent to the messenger of the netherworld. ”

"Have you ever seen someone who is similar to what you are wearing, but whose clothes are white?" I continued to ask.

He became interested and asked me, "I haven't seen this yet." Have you seen it? ”

"No, I've dreamed of it. You are an envoy of the Netherworld, so you must have met Meng Po!"

"yes, it used to be common. But now she's a bit disrespectful, and I often can't find her. He smiled helplessly.

I think I still have a lot of questions to ask him, but the most important thing I want to ask is, "Why are you a bad guy?" ”

He pondered for a moment and replied somewhat blankly, "I don't know. ”

That's a little weird. Why didn't he know that he was a bad guy?

I suddenly remembered that I didn't know his name yet, so I said, "My name is He Yuxian, and what about you?"

"Saya."

Nighto? I gave that black cat a name!

"Are you the black cat?" I shouted in surprise.

He didn't speak, so he acquiesced. I almost freaked out because I had hugged the black cat before, so wouldn't I...... The thought of this makes my face burn.

"I ......" I didn't know what to say for a while. A cold wind got into my collar, and I stamped my feet in the cold.

He sensed that I was cold and said, "I'll take my leave." ”

With a grimace on my face, I cautiously stopped him: "Wait! Can you do me a favor? I may not be able to go home now, can you give me a ride? ”

He looked up, as if to see which floor my family lived on, and then said a little embarrassedly: "What a offense." Then he grabbed me around my waist and flew up. In the blink of an eye, we were on the balcony.

In the process of flying up, the wind blew the black veil on his hat, and I was very curious about his appearance, so I wanted to sneak a few glances. But the veil quickly covered his face, and I still didn't see anything. The scent on his body was very good, and there was an indescribable sense of familiarity.

After he put me down, he hurriedly said "farewell" and disappeared into a cloud of smoke.

I ran back to my room as fast as I could, and I slipped into the covers. I'm a little worried that Wang Ming will come back to me.

The heat of the bed was still there, and I soon fell asleep.

The next morning, I hurried to school. As I passed the field in front of the main entrance of the school building, a dark wind struck. I had a strong feeling that someone was watching me from behind.

I didn't dare to look back, I just picked up the pace. Unexpectedly, the footsteps behind me became more and more urgent, and I ran in a hurry. When I got to the door of the classroom, someone from behind me shouted out of breath, "Why are you running so fast?" ”

As soon as I turned around, I saw Chang Lan's smiling face. She wore a purple dress today, and she looked ladylike and beautiful and frozen. In comparison, my down jacket looks bloated.

"I want to get to the classroom quickly." I breathed a sigh of relief.

She chased after me, took my hand, and asked with a smile, "I came early enough today, right?" ”

I looked down at my watch, and it was still early for the morning reading, so I said, "It's pretty early." ”

She blinked her beautiful apricot eyes and asked mysteriously, "Do you know why I came so early today?" ”

"Endorsement?"

She shook her head and smiled a little shyly, "I came so early because I wanted to see someone." ”

I laughed a few times, then laughed and said, "So you're wearing that good today for that guy?" Hahaha, who the hell is it? Let you wear a skirt on such a cold day! ”

She became even more shy and said, "I won't tell you." ”

She didn't say it, but I soon found out.

As soon as she got out of class, she leaned against the window and looked at the school building opposite. And the students in that school building are all the top students of the school.

I, Li Wan and Yu Siqi have secretly observed her for several classes, but at first they found nothing. It wasn't until the end of the third period, when a boy walked out of the classroom opposite, that she danced with joy, and then her eyes followed him closely.

The three of us looked at the boy in unison. The boy's hair is a little long, and it looks quite delicate from the side, but the back is a little familiar.

Lin Jie? Chang Lan likes Lin Jie?

After Chang Lan reluctantly returned to her seat, I asked her with a snicker, "The person you want to see is Lin Jie?" ”

She looked surprised and hurriedly asked me, "How do you know?" ”

"Everyone in the school knows Lin Jie, the god of learning, okay? Besides, his gaze is so obvious. Yu Siqi covered her mouth and snickered on the side.

Chang Lan looked at us with a pitiful look: "Anyway, you all know it now, so I won't hide it." That's right, I just want to see him. But you must not tell anyone about it. ”

Yu Siqi teased her: "Why? You've been a nymphomaniac before, and a lot of people know which handsome guy you're interested in, so why are you so shy this time? ”

Chang Lan showed a depressed look: "He gives me a different feeling. It's that feeling of first love. I've never been so fascinated by a person. But he's so good, I'm so bad, how can I be with him? ”

Li Wan, who had not spoken, spoke at this time: "Why can't you be with him?" You can be as good as him! Now, though, it's all about learning. You can confess to him after the college entrance exam. ”

Yu Siqi and I both agreed: "Li Wan is right! ”

Chang Lan's gloomy gaze seemed to be lit up all of a sudden, and the smile on her face was as bright as before: "Yes, I want to study hard, so that I will have a chance!" ”

All three of us cheered her on, and from then on, she studied harder and harder than before.

But I'm not going to tell her about knowing Lin Jie right now. Because, I want to secretly match them at the right time......
