The weather is clear and the sun is just right. It's a pity that full sunshine is really not a good thing for military training.

Bai Xiaoming sweated, and after entering the dormitory to put down his things, he was about to take off his clothes and take a shower, when suddenly, the unscrupulous instructor blew the assembly whistle downstairs.

At the beginning of military training, we always have to give these "newcomers" some bitter tastes. Bai Xiaoming was somewhat mentally prepared for this kind of thing, smiled bitterly, and began to hurriedly redress.

And just when his camouflage T-shirt pullover was halfway over, the window frame suddenly made a loud "bang", and in the next second, Zhu Yingwu, who had colorful and messy hair, appeared in Bai Xiaoming's field of vision with his forehead covered.

One was disheveled, the other was disheveled, and after the two looked at each other through the transparent glass window for a long time, Zhu Yingwu reacted first, opened the window and jumped in, and said hurriedly: "Classmate, my name is Zhu Yingwu, and I am from the seventh class of high school!" Do you have rubber bands? Rope will do the trick too! Lend me to tie my hair! ”

Bai Xiaoming came back to his senses, put on his clothes, pulled a lace from his other pair of sneakers, and handed it over with an expressionless face.

Zhu Yingwu: "......"

The acquaintance of the two began with such a shoelace - the red one, the one untied from the Nike Limited Edition.

It's a pity that the shoelaces still couldn't save Zhu Yingwu's hairstyle, and when Bai Xiaoming saw him again at night, his bright hair had been forcibly shaved to a board size. However, although the hairstyle is short, the color is still there, and at first glance it looks like a small globe.

Zhu Yingwu returned the shoelaces to him and said depressedly: "If you want to laugh, laugh, everyone in our class has laughed for a day today." ”

Bai Xiaoming really laughed and stretched out his hand to Zhu Yingwu: "Hello, my name is Bai Xiaoming." ”

"Hmm, hello!" Zhu Yingwu wiped the sweat on the T-shirt and held his hand: "Although I didn't use it, I still want to thank you for the grace of a shoelace!" So what, the old five spicy hot at the east gate, do you want to go? I invite you! ”

"Okay." So, Bai Xiaoming, who had never eaten a roadside stall when he was so old, ran out to eat Malatang with his new friends.

Yes, newly met friends. This is how he and Zhu Yingwu made friends back then.

Zhu Yingwu is a very lively and outgoing person, and his eyebrows are always dancing when he speaks. Even if it is a trivial matter, it will become interesting for him to tell it.

He sat on the simple bench that the stall owner had set up casually with a plate of spicy hot dishes, and talked vividly about his battle of wits and courage with the instructor in order to save his hair.

Bai Xiaoming listened with a smile, and when he wanted to chat with him for a while, suddenly, a voice from nowhere interjected and said solemnly: The time is almost up!

Bai Xiaoming woke up suddenly, only to feel that his heart was beating violently.

Ah, it turned out to be a dream...... Bai Xiaoming pressed his chest, silently feeling the frequency of his heartbeat. It's strange, it's just an ordinary dream, and the dream is just something that happened before, but why do you have a nightmare, not only a rapid heart rate, but also an inexplicable sense of sadness that fills my heart.

Through the faint light outside the window, he turned his head to look at Zhu Yingwu next to him, but he didn't react, his hands and feet were swinging around, and he was sleeping soundly. Bai Xiaoming took a few breaths, grabbed his mobile phone and looked at it, it was only two o'clock in the morning, and it was still early before dawn.

Ah, it's just a dream, maybe it's because the air pressure is relatively low today, which makes the body uncomfortable.

Go back to sleep...... Bai Xiaoming thought like this, turned over, and closed his eyes again. However, just when he was a little sleepy, and stepped on the moment when waking and dreaming converged, suddenly, he was alarmed by a strange feeling.

Bai Xiaoming's whole person seemed to be stepping on the stairs, and he opened his eyes suddenly, and completely woke up from his blurred state.

There are people outside the gate!

I don't know why, I didn't hear anything, but Bai Xiaoming could feel that someone outside wanted to enter the house.

Bai Xiaoming sat up lightly from the bed, and was hesitating to find a weapon to take advantage of to defend himself, Zhu Yingwu also woke up in a daze, rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Old Bai...... What's wrong? ”

"I don't know, there's movement down there, I'll take a look."

"Huh? What's moving? Zhu Yingwu yawned and said strangely: "With this level of security in our community, can there be thieves?" He sat up: "Then I'll go with you......"

"No, I'll call you when I have something."

The feeling of someone outside the door became stronger and stronger, Bai Xiaoming opened the drawer and took out a flashlight, and grabbed the mobile phone on the bedside table with one hand: "Maybe whose cat ran out, I'll take a look first." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhu Yingwu to answer, Bai Xiaoming had already opened the bedroom door and walked out.

Even though it's summer, the chill in the early hours of the morning is still a bit biting. Bai Xiaoming casually put on a coat, turned on the flashlight to adjust to a low light state, and walked downstairs quickly. But the moment he walked down the stairs, the strong feeling that suddenly appeared without warning disappeared in an instant.

This...... No way?

Could it be that the hallucinations have reappeared...... Bai Xiaoming smiled bitterly and grabbed his hair helplessly.

There is something that even Zhu Yingwu doesn't know. When Bai Xiaoming was eleven or twelve years old, he often heard and saw some strange sounds and pictures for a while. He was very troubled by this for a while, and he went to the school library to check a lot of information, and found that this situation was very similar to the symptoms of auditory and visual hallucinations, so he took the notes and ran to the school's psychological counseling room.

Bai Xiaoming still remembers that the person on duty that day was a beautiful sister with silver-white hair, who couldn't tell her age, and she couldn't remember her appearance clearly, but she only remembered that the person seemed to be glowing with a layer of soft light, and her voice was also very gentle.

Now that he recalls it, Bai Xiaoming can't remember the specific content he said that day, and he vaguely remembers that sister praised him for his seriousness and meticulousness, and helped him analyze some cases, and while talking, he actually fell asleep. When I woke up, it was dusk.

Since then, Bai Xiaoming's auditory and visual hallucinations have been cured. But unfortunately, Bai Xiaoming never saw the doctor again, and he didn't even have time to say thank you to her.

Unexpectedly, the long-lost feeling just now suddenly came back again. Maybe it's because I haven't had a good rest recently, and the old problem has recurred...... Bai Xiaoming waved away the strange feeling that lingered in his heart, thinking that he would find time to make an appointment with a psychiatrist to talk.

However, just as he turned around and was about to go upstairs, the corner of his eye suddenly swept to the sofa and there was a huge black shadow.

Bai Xiaoming's body stiffened, only to feel a chill rushing up his back like an electric current. He slowed down, turning back little by little. didn't want him to move, and the black shadow flickered with it, and it seemed to be opening up again in an instant. Like a monster in an alien movie, crouching in the deep night, waiting for the opportunity to choose someone to devour.

The heart was pounding faster and faster, and for the first time in his life, Bai Xiaoming deeply experienced the emotion of "fear". He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and forced himself to compose, and slammed back and pressed the light switch on the wall!

The lights suddenly turned on, dispelling the darkness and the fear that arose because of the "unknown".

Bai Xiaoming looked at it again, only to find that it was the "Jiuyin", who was sitting on the sofa in a daze.

"Uh......" Bai Xiaoming was speechless for a while, adjusted his mood for a while, and then asked, "You...... Still not sleeping so late? ”

Candle Dragon stood up and replied as he walked upstairs, "Let's go to sleep." ”

The moment the two passed by, Bai Xiaoming felt as if he had smelled a faint earthy smell.
