Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Nightmare Cycle
The call is from Angela Lee, and Star Swirl is surprised.
"Xuanyue, where are you?" When asked about her whereabouts, Star Swirl hesitates and replies, "I'm in the food court, ready to eat." ”
Li Leqi's voice on the phone came intermittently, and it seemed that the signal was not very good: "Are you alone?" I'm looking for you for something......"
Star Swirl is about to continue asking, but the call is suddenly hung up. As she knew about Lucky, she wouldn't call her easily, and Star Swirl left the food on the table and hurried to school.
Star Swirl calls Lucky's number again, but the phone is turned off. This sudden loss of contact made Li Xingxuan panic, and she sent a message to Gu Yi on the way, asking him to go to Li Leqi's class to look for it first.
When Star Swirl rushed back to school, she saw Li Leqi and Gu Yi standing downstairs in the dormitory talking, and her heart finally let go.
"Sister, why did you turn off the phone?" Star Swirl walked up to Angel, and strangely didn't feel any pain anywhere on her body this time.
Li Leqi took out a tissue and handed it to Star Swirl: "It's automatically turned off when the power is out." What's going on with you sweating profusely? also specially asked Gu Yi to come to me. ”
Star Swirl wiped the beads of sweat that were about to drip from the corners of her forehead and replied, "I thought something was wrong. ”
"Not really," Li Leqi glanced at Gu Yi, and when he saw that his gaze had been fixed on Star Swirl, he smiled, "When did you two become so close?" ”
Gu Yi said embarrassedly: "That is, I have only ...... from this summer vacation."
"Then what are you looking for from me?" Star Swirl didn't bother to listen to the small talk, and asked straight to the point.
"This semester, all of our students are going on a graduation trip, would you like to ask if you would be interested in going with me?" Li Leqi blinked, "You can only bring one family member at most." ”
"I'll go with you." Star Swirl replied so simply that both of them were stunned.
Li Leqi was surprised: "You don't even ask where you're going?" ”
"It's good to go anywhere, I haven't been far since I went anyway." Star Swirl certainly didn't want Angel to leave her sight again.
Li Leqi obviously didn't expect Star Swirl to react like this, and was stunned for a few seconds and said, "So, I came up with a detailed travel plan, and I'll tell you about it." ”
Star Swirl nodded, "Nothing else, I'll go back first." ”
"You wait," Li Leqi glanced at Gu Yi and stopped talking.
"You keep talking, my buddy just called me to play." Gu Yi found an excuse to slip away.
Seeing him walk away, Li Leqi suddenly said, "Xu Miqian is your roommate, right?" ”
Hearing her mention Sissi's name, Star Swirl immediately became alert, "Well, what's wrong?" ”
"She hasn't been reporting this semester," Leqi continued, staring at Star Swirl's face, "The school announced that she was suspended. ”
"Externally? What else is inside? Star Swirl immediately grasps the key.
Li Leqi nodded: "Actually, it is very likely that she is missing." ”
"Where did you hear that?! When was this? Star Swirl asked.
"Shhhh Be quiet," Li Leqi said in a low voice, "I heard it from within the student union, but I can't fully guarantee the authenticity of the news." However, I've heard people mention that the two of you went out together on vacation, what did you do? ”
It turns out that Li Leqi is looking for Star Swirl today to ask about this. Seeing her tense face, Star Swirl softened and replied, "I just volunteered at a health facility on the outskirts of the city, and I came back that day." ”
"Who gave you the task of volunteering?" Li Leqi asked.
"I remember it was Teacher Bai from the school infirmary. But why do you care about Sissi? Star Swirl asked.
"I don't care about her, I care about you!" Li Leqi raised her voice to herself, and her emotions seemed a little excited. This was the first time since her return that the sisters had spoken to each other about the effects of the energy event, and Li Xingxuan even wondered if her sister's memories had been completely erased.
"Look at me, don't I stand in front of you?" Star Swirl reassured, a familiar look on the familiar face of the person in front of her.
Li Leqi regained his composure and said, "In short, don't wander around outside alone. ”
Star Swirl originally wanted to ask about Lucky and Jojo, but she stopped talking about her roommates, considering that she was already anxious about Sissi. After separating from Angela, Star Swirl returns to her dorm room.
Seeing that there was no one in the house, he was guessing where Jiajia had slipped away again, when he suddenly heard a small movement from the upper bunk, and a head poked out of the bed: "Xuanyue, you are finally back." ”
Star Swirl saw that Jiajia's hair was unkempt as if she had a bird's nest, but her eyes were shining and she didn't feel sleepy, and wondered, "Why don't you squeak in the dorm?" ”
"Why didn't you come back last night?" Jiajia dragged out her voice and complained aggrievedly.
Star Swirl smiled and asked, "Why, you don't dare live alone now?" ”
"It's all my country's fault that my fellow villagers told me about Sissi, I have a big brain, and the more I think about it at night, the more scared I become." Jiajia hugged the quilt and looked at Sissi's bed, "Let me tell you, when I woke up in the middle of the night last night, I seemed to see her sitting on the bed......"
Star Swirl also looked at the flat bed and asked, "What happened to Sissi?" ”
"By the way, you don't know yet," Jia Jia replied with a frown, "Sissi is missing, I heard that her family has reported the crime." ”
Star Swirl chuckled in her heart, and what Jia Jia said seemed to verify the uncertain news of Li Leqi. "Is this news reliable?" Star Swirl asks.
"He heard it with his own ears at the door of the dean's office." At this time, the gloomy sky outside the window was pierced by a bolt of lightning, and Jiajia's frightened little face was turned pale by the electric light: "Xuanyue, you can stay with me today." Star Swirl nodded in agreement, glancing at the raindrops smashing against the window, suspicious.
Before dinner, Star Swirl talks to Mr. X on the phone, telling him about Sissi, and this time he doesn't miss any details, including Li Leqi's advice to herself. Mr. X has no doubts and is satisfied with Star Swirl's timely report.
However, on this night in the dormitory, the nightmare did not let Li Xingxuan go. It was the same coffee-colored leather couch, this time in the empty dorm room, where Star Swirl was lying. Unlike last time, she didn't feel the soft touch, but it was as if something hard had hit her back.
Star Swirl rolled over and lay on her side, and suddenly heard the sigh again, very close, and Star Swirl looked closely at the couch in the faint moonlight, and found the outline of a face printed on the backrest, and the features gradually protruding from the leather, and her expression distorted, as if she was desperately trying to break free from some kind of restraint.
As the face gets closer to Star Swirl, the dream wakes up.
