Chapter 2 – I Am the Grim Reaper

It was raining, and the sky was full of white clouds. The first rain after autumn is gentle and delicate. The small pond in the school, shaded by willow trees, rippled only slightly. Ginkgo biloba leaves fall all over the ground, grass tufts are trimmed, and benches by the pool are covered. It's class, and the rain is very quiet. Three or two teachers were running by the lawn, shielding themselves from the rain with their papers.

In the west of a three-sided school building, there is a head, called - the goddess of seeking, I heard that the square was rebuilt in the early years to destroy the body, only the head intact to build the foundation of this place. The two tall trees grow in a staggered manner, and the leaves and the building form a circle, and only at noon can you be in the sun.

The search is the stone face leaning, always looking up at the slight staggered cracks of the leaves, there may be something in the sky that she expects, the years are like wheels, and the shadows of the eyes and nose are full of moss. After the bell rang, students from school came and went and walked in front of her. One evening during self-study, an inch-haired boy sat next to her, gazing with her and her stone statue.

The ward for the sin is by the window, on the second floor. There were no other patients. The camphor trees, which are still verdant green, are occasionally bent by the wind, and the leaves sway in the window. A drop of rain drifted onto the face of the guilty, and he finally woke up. In front of me is the autumn rain playing leaves, and the unique sense of autumn is full of eyes. Cheng Cheng only felt a headache, reached out and carefully touched his head, no bandages, no medicine, but it was very painful, and he wanted to die. Then he tried to sit up slowly, but suddenly found that his left foot was suspended in a plaster cast, and he didn't feel it.

"Obviously I remember that I hit my head on the ground, how can I ......" The headache of taking advantage of the crime made him not continue to think about it, he just wanted to tell his mother and classmates that he was okay at this moment.

"You... Who are you? What about my mother? He turned to the door and found someone he had never seen before.

The man looked to be about the same age as Sin Cheng from the skin, and was dressed in a brown coat with bridges and grass printed on it, and sat a little hunched over in a chair. There seemed to be some magic in his face, which made people forget it when they saw it, and they couldn't remember it, and they didn't want to ask, as if there was a shadow blocking his face out of thin air, and only a pair of sharp tiger teeth could remember it.

"Your mom went pick up your dad." His voice was hoarse, but with some and high-spirited playfulness.

"That's... So who are you? Riding the sin was somewhat stunned by his voice.

"My name is Hao Ning, and I am a Grim Reaper." He said calmly.

"Death...? Death? ... Haha~"Although my head hurts and I am a little flustered, I am still amused by the guilt."

"If I had broken my head, I would have believed it." There is some mockery in taking advantage of the crime.

"Your head is not only broken but broken, you- died."

"You...," Cheng Cheng felt inexplicable, "you're a fool!" Do you think I'll believe it..."

"You, take the crime, 18 years old, your grandparents are here, you have a sister, the third mock exam in the second semester of the third year of junior high school, the only time you cheated is something you have always regretted; For the first time in the second year of junior high school, I thought I was sick and secretly checked the information on the Internet, but I accidentally clicked on the yellow web page, and you immediately unplugged the power, "Ning Hao, who claimed to be the god of death, interrupted the crime, and was a little ashamed and surprised, and he never told anyone about some things, "You have liked a girl since your second year of high school, and you have never spoken to a girl, she called..."

"Stop! Stop! Dude, how are you... How do you know these things? He asked in a whisper, as if he had been caught.

"It's too easy for me to know, I know everything you know."

"You just said that you... You are a... Uh..."

"Death, to be exact, your Grim Reaper."

"Brother...," Cheng Cheng was a little embarrassed, because he really didn't believe in God, but this ghost in front of him, no, no, this 'person' knew some secrets that he had never told anyone, "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm a person who studies science, I... That one... There is such a thing as not believing in gods and ghosts, you know what I mean," said resignedly, as if to please Hao Ning.

"I also know this, you won't be so easy to believe, so I pick your shameful trivia, do you still want to hear it? In the first semester of your freshman year of high school, you clicked on Huang for the second time..."

"Enough is enough, brother, I believe you." The face of the sin is so blushing that it can't be done.

"It's okay, it's no one, anyway, you only watched it twice, and it still didn't miss anything," Cheng Cheng trembled a little, "although the second time was active"

He covered his head with the quilt all of a sudden, and said 'uh-huh' as if he had been insulted.

Hao Ning smiled, tiger teeth sharp.

"Okay~la~, don't you ask about basketball?" Hao Ning said like coaxing his girlfriend.

Cheng Cheng showed a pair of eyes and asked in a low voice, "By the way, did I buckle in?" ”

"You're a fool, I mean ask me about basketball injuries!"

"Isn't it good for me, and one leg won't affect the college entrance examination, so I'm buckled? So handsome! “

"No, you're not breaking your leg, you're dead." Hao Ning suddenly became serious.

"You're dead." He was a little annoyed at once.

"I transferred your brain injury to your left leg."

"Then why does my head still hurt so much, but my legs don't feel it?" Take advantage of the sin and say to Hao Ning.

"After transferring the injury, the pain doesn't transfer, so your head hurts now, and your left leg not only cracks the bone but also has muscle damage, and this fall, your brain is broken. You idiot. ”

Taking advantage of the sin, he said that it hurt even more, and he touched his head.

"What kind of science is this?" He smiled helplessly, he seemed to accept this fact a little.

"Hmm~ I can't tell, but it took a lot of my energy, and I can't transform anymore."

"Transfiguration? Can you still transform? ”

"Of course, I was in the leaves while you were playing basketball, and I became a black cloud, and no one noticed me."

"Wow~ Is there such a thing? My three views! "After accepting the reality, it seems that he immediately accepted this person, not only that he is sociable, but the person in front of him, although he doesn't know what he looks like, he always has a sense of intimacy with him.

"Then why did you save me? Aren't you the Grim Reaper? Oh, by the way, do you have a scythe? Like in the novel? "It's like a new world, and I keep asking.

"There are no scythes, and no black cloaks. I'm the same as a human. As for why I saved you, I can't tell you, at least not yet. You don't understand the world of death, and I can't understand it. Born like this. ”

"Can you predict the future?"

"Yes, I've known you all your life."

"Then can I ask if I have—" Tempest suddenly asked happily.

"But I can't tell you, if I tell you, I'll die, although it's a little ridiculous for the Grim Reaper to say death, but it's true." Hao Ning interrupted the crime.

"Then you're a one-time nurse, it's useless~" Cheng Cheng muttered a little arrogantly.

"It's understandable, and what I'm going to tell you is that from now on, I'll stay with you forever."

"Oh." Anyway, there are always a bunch of good friends around him, so he should have made a fairy friend.

"Let's sleep together, too."

"Oh. . . - Huh? Na-Ni ——? ”。

The rain gradually stopped, the air was quiet, the soil finally had the faint fragrance of fallen leaves through wetness, the fish in the small pond finally waited for the fresh autumn rain, and the thousand-year-old building also took on a new look. It's been a long time since it's rained, and it's so different, so quietly.
