Chapter 1: Outliers
"Ah Qiu! See you tomorrow~" Cheng Mingming waved at Wang Qiu with a smile and trotted across the road.
It was the end of school in the afternoon, and the school gate was very crowded for a while, Wang Qiu watched Cheng Mingming's hurried back gradually drown in the sea of people, so he slowly hid his smile and walked back without hurrying.
There are groups of people around me, and I don't feel lonely by myself, but occasionally I think if I can talk to someone.
But it's not that there are no people, at least there are a lot of 'anomalous' who occasionally float by, but if you really speak, in the eyes of others, the person who speaks into the air is afraid that he is not a fool.
The so-called 'alien' is an existence beyond the scope of human scientific cognition, such as mountain spirits and wild monsters, such as lonely souls and wild ghosts. Look, the little boy squatting on the locust tree on the side of the road, with a pair of brown wings on his back, is a little demon, looking at the wings, the original form should be a sparrow, but ordinary people can't see the alien.
Wang Qiu didn't squint all the way, hurried to catch the subway, accidentally bumped into someone, and hurriedly apologized, but as soon as he looked up, a strange-looking 'person' tilted his head to look at Wang Qiu. Wang Qiu's pupils dilated suddenly, and the 'person' in front of him was wearing a big straw hat, wearing a loose gray robe, and carrying a big burden, looking like a person who had traveled far away.
Wang Qiu screamed, and the people around him turned their heads one after another, Wang Qiu didn't care so much, so he had to run out of the subway station quickly, bumping into more people along the way.
At half past seven in the afternoon, the driver of the family found Wang Qiu lying on the table in a café and did not dare to look up.
Father Wang watched Wang Qiu go home and nodded gently: "I'll keep the food for you." ”
Wang Qiu nodded: "Thank you, Dad." ”
"Tomorrow's family exam, we are going to stay at grandpa's house for one night, you are okay at home by yourself, right?" Father Wang put down the newspaper in his hand.
Wang Qiu still nodded: "No problem, Dad." ”
After going upstairs, the driver Lao Liu said with some hesitation: "When I picked up Miss Xiao, Miss Xiao looked very scared. ”
"What if you can actually see it? Born with demon eyes? Father Wang shook his head, a little helpless: "Without special abilities, those eyes can only bring misfortune." ”
"But ......"
Dad Wang took off his glasses, pinched his brows, and ended the current irritating topic: "Xu Yes, we put too much pressure on her, and the people around her are different from her, she may want to get attention in this way." ”
Lao Liu looked at Wang Rongyi as if he was a little impatient, and swallowed the words in his mouth, it was really strange that he was a family, but he was polite like a passerby.
Demon eyes are eyes that can see different kinds. You can't activate the ability until it's activated, so it's a prerequisite for getting the Eye. Of course, the strength of the demon eye has nothing to do with the strength of the ability, but with one's own constitution and talent.
In the collection of books at home, there is a book about the method of opening the demon eye (some people are too talented or physical to open the demon eye, there will be a lot of auxiliary spells or props, these will be talked about later.) The book briefly records that the only person in the family who has a natural demon eye, is strong, and has a power that his peers can't match. The book says that people who are born with demon eyes will have great power.
In other words, although having an ability does not necessarily open the Demon Eye, you cannot have the Demon Eye without the ability. Of course, this is a normal situation, and now there is an exception for Wang Qiu.
Wang Qiu has no ability but can see the difference, which is something that the family has never had, so when Wang Qiu, who has no ability, is frightened and cries when he sees the difference, but he can't detect any ability, people are not only suspicious and disappointed, but more of a joke.
Although there are relatively few people who open the demon eyes, it is not to the point of scarcity, there is a pair of demon eyes, but there is no ability, it is not needed in the family, in short, it cannot bring any benefits to the family, it is useless.
Knowing that they were born with demon eyes and then knowing that they have no special abilities, most people turn from shock to ridicule, even if there is no conflict of interest in the middle, they will inevitably be bullied.
Wang's father moved out of the old mansion very early to do business due to his mediocre talent, except for the first time he went to the old mansion to awaken his ability, Wang Qiu never went to the old mansion again, because he had no talent, and the people in the family never mentioned relevant things in front of her, so Wang Qiu knew very little about different things, and the information he obtained in this area relied on the collection of books at home. Of course, I don't know much about my family, I feel like a marginal person, but it's dispensable.
Wang Qiu didn't know that the downstairs was talking about her, and even if she knew, she didn't care very much. After quickly solving the dinner, I began to do the exercises seriously.
"Wang Qiu!" Younger brother Wang Jingnian pushed the door in, Wang Qiu frowned slightly, and then looked at Wang Jingnian: "What's the matter?" ”
"Aren't you going to grandpa's house tomorrow?"
Wang Qiu continued to calculate the question and said lightly: "Don't go." ”
"That's great!" Wang Jingnian blinked his big eyes: "Then I will have a reason to stay at home tomorrow!" ”
"Why don't you want to go to Grandpa's house?" Wang Qiu didn't look at Wang Jingnian lying on her bed.
"It's weird and boring, the people over there are not interesting except to brag or show off." Wang Jingnian lay on his back and looked at the dreamcatcher hanging by the window: "I can still protect you at home!" There is no charge! ”
"You can't get into the house." Wang Qiu gave up the question that he hadn't calculated for half an hour: "Don't use me as a shield." ”
Wang Jingnian shrugged: "Do you know that Dad wants you to transfer schools?" ”
Wang Qiu was stunned for a moment and did not reply.
Only then did Wang Jingnian realize that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and hurriedly changed the topic: "On the weekend, the eldest sister said that she would take us to her school to play!" ”
Wang Qiu didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with him: "What did Dad say?" ”
Wang Jingnian glanced at Wang Qiu with some apprehension: "I just heard that, I don't know what the specific situation is." ”
"I'm going to rest, you go out." Wang Qiu put away his desk and said slowly.
"I didn't hear it clearly, maybe it wasn't you." Wang Jingnian didn't know what to say, so he cautiously and secretly looked at Wang Qiu's side face: "Don't be unhappy." ”
"I'm not unhappy." Wang Qiu couldn't tell whether he was sad or disappointed in his heart, and his heart was stuffy: "I'm fine, it's not early, hurry up and rest." ”
Wang Jingnian stood outside Wang Qiu's door, looking at the dark brown wooden door.
For as long as she can remember, this second sister has been different from others. I can't talk about it, but it's inexplicably sad.
The next day, Wang Qiu went downstairs to look at the empty living room, and felt like a person went to the empty building, so he said hello to Aunt Wang and went out.
The weather is very good, the sky is very blue, and the white clouds are floating in the sky, which is really picturesque. Wang Qiu's mood was as bright as the sky.
The school in the early morning is also very beautiful, and the energetic students are talking and laughing together, which is really peaceful.
Wang Qiu was walking alone on campus, and Cheng Mingming caught up and said hello: "It's still so early today!" ”
"You're early, too."
"Yesterday, the owner of the cake shop where I worked had something at home and closed early, so I got off work early and went to bed early." Cheng Mingming stretched out his arm and said happily: "I woke up this morning and was very energetic!" ”
"It's wonderful." Wang Qiu smiled, and liked to see the bright smile on Cheng Mingming's face.
"Did you do yesterday's exercise? It's super hard, I'll lend it to you later. Cheng Mingming said with a smile.
Wang Qiu nodded, and Yu Guang saw a black alien, with a big mouth, following a boy, and stretched out his long blood-red tongue to lick the boy's head, the boy reached out and touched his head, and said to himself: "Strange, I feel cold on the top of my head." ”
Wang Qiu choked in his throat and coughed, and Cheng Mingming asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Is it uncomfortable? ”
Seeing that the black alien was attracted by the coughing sound and turned his head to look at Wang Qiu, Wang Qiu didn't react for a while and wanted to look away, just as he was about to look at each other, Cheng Mingming stood in front of Wang Qiu because he was worried about Wang Qiu, just blocking Wang Qiu's sight.
"I'm fine, I'm choking. Let's go to the classroom. Wang Qiu pulled Cheng Mingming and hurriedly walked to the classroom, the alien behind him turned his head, and on a dark face, only a huge mouth was facing Wang Qiu's left.
