Chapter 34: Night
"Get up!"
Nangong Ming shook a cold wit, opened his eyes suddenly, sat up from the bed, and made sure that he was still in the bedroom, and his face was full of water. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Are you awake?"
Nangong Ming turned her head and saw a person sitting on her desk, the moonlight slanting in through the window behind her, her body silhouette glistening, and the huge guitar case was particularly conspicuous. She was playing with an empty cup in her hand.
Incubus!
Nangong Ming screamed, grabbed the quilt and climbed backwards, until his back hit the wall, Nangong Ming jumped off the bed and ran towards the door, pulling the door several times without moving. Nangong Ming turned his head in despair, and the girl in red was watching him struggle with interest.
"Y-What do you want?" Nangong asked calmly.
Yu Ai jumped off the table, walked quietly, came to Nangong Ming, and said, "Come out with me." ”
Nangong Ming turned his head to look at the clock on the wall, it was almost half past three in the morning. Nangong Ming said: "Can it be a little later?" ”
"Less wordy!"
Yu Ai grabbed Nangong Ming's collar and pulled it to the window, Nangong Ming resisted desperately, and said, "No, I can't go out after twelve o'clock in the evening." ”
Yu Ai's strength prevailed, Nangong Ming was easily pulled to the window by her, Yu Ai opened the window_ Only then did Nangong Ming notice that the doors and windows of the room were closed, grabbed Nangong Ming and jumped out of the window, and jumped to a very high place in the blink of an eye, and the aunt's house looked only a quarter the size of the original.
Nangong Mingxin mentioned his throat and eyes, and he screamed in fright, his eyes closed, "I have a fear of heights!" ”
At this time, Yu Ai let go of his hand, Nangong Ming began to fall, Nangong Ming only felt that the world was spinning, his hands and feet were scratching everywhere but he couldn't catch anything, the wind was blowing in his ears, and when he was about to land, Yu Ai, who had been waiting on the roof, caught him.
"Wow!" Nangong Ming's legs were weak and he fell to the ground, vomiting wildly.
"The physical fitness is so poor." Yu Ai said disgustedly.
Nangong Ming scolded: "How can anyone suddenly be pulled up from the bed in the middle of the night and thrown into the air ......" Before the words were finished, another wave of nausea came up, Nangong Ming couldn't vomit anything, and he couldn't help retching for a while.
Finally, Nangong Ming relieved himself and found himself on the top of an unfamiliar high-rise building, and the red lights on the four corners of the roof were flashing regularly.
The night breeze blows high up. The girl in red sat on the guardrail on the roof of the building, her feet hanging dangerously outside the guardrail.
"Can you see it?" The girl asked.
"What......"
Nangong Ming was shocked by the scene in front of him, and under the turbid night sky, five Milky Ways crisscrossed the sky.
Nangong Ming walked to the guardrail in a daze. Countless blue points of light floated in the air, ranging from small to small, smaller than beans, and larger than footballs, roaming the streets and gathering among residential buildings, as if a dreamy snow was falling very slowly in the world.
The Milky Way that the five Nangong names thought was not the Milky Way, but a flowing river of light, and the points of light on the ground were rising into the night sky at a very slow speed, converging into the River of Light, and the River of Light was flowing into the distance.
At this time, a ball of light the size of a tennis ball swam in front of Nangong Ming, and Nangong Ming wanted to reach over, but an eye suddenly appeared in the ball of light staring at Nangong Ming. Nangong Ming was startled and retracted his hand nervously.
The ball of light reluctantly approached Nangong Ming, Nangong Ming was hesitating and didn't know what to do, a pit was sunken on the surface of the ball of light, swallowing the small ball of light swimming next to him, and then swam away unhurriedly.
"They are called nights," said the girl, "and they are another form of life in nature, which only a few humans can see." The girl stretched out her hand to tease the small ball of light that swam in front of her, "The big night eats the small night, and the bigger night eats the big night, and on there," the girl pointed to the river of light in the sky, "There are bigger nights, bigger than this building, and they don't usually come down, and the small ones will naturally rise up and become their food when they grow up to a certain extent." When they can't grow any bigger, they will weaken and decompose into the tiniest nights, which are invisible to the human eye, and then descend to the earth. Over and over again, their lives are simple, and they have only two purposes in life, to eat and not to be eaten. ”
Nangong Ming's mind still clearly remembered the blue round eyes, and it was the first time he had seen them in such a large number. Why haven't you seen it before?
"During the day they hide, in the clouds, in the shadows of tall buildings, under bridges, in any place where the sun does not reach. The sunlight is so strong that in the blink of an eye they will be burned and burned clean, so they can only hide, like ghosts in the netherworld, they can only hide. When the girl said these words, she spoke very slowly, with sadness, as if she was telling a sad past.
In this way, Nangong Ming's memory has never been outdoors so late, I remember that when I was a child, someone told me that I must go to bed early, and I must stay in bed after twelve o'clock. Nangong Ming couldn't remember who said it, he felt that this sentence was not wrong, after nightfall, even on weekends, he stayed in the room......
[Not true.] Since Nangong Ming moved to live with Aunt Meiyan's house, he often had to go out at four or five o'clock in the morning to buy goods, and he also stayed outside at that time, but he didn't see so many balls of light in the city.
Maybe I saw it before, but I never saw it so clearly.
From childhood to adulthood, he can see things that ordinary people can't see, Nangong Ming has long been accustomed to it, and gradually learned to turn a blind eye, and if he accidentally reveals his stuffing, he will immediately cover up the past with lies. In this world, this is the only way to live safely.
Nangong Ming's skull was knocked hard.
"Are you listening?" The girl glared at Nangong Ming with an unhappy face, and Nangong Ming touched her head and nodded quickly.
"Do you know what the youngest eats?"
Nangong Ming shook his head.
"Yizi."
"Yizi?" Nangong Ming repeated, he heard this term for the first time.
"In our bodies, there is Yiko." The girl looked at her palms and said, "In other words, life itself is a collection of Iko." ”
Nangong remembered the white points of light flowing in the veins that he had seen in his dream.
"Yizi is synthesizing all the time, and she is decomposing all the time." The girl pointed her palm towards the moon behind the thin cloud, "When you grow, the synthesis speed is greater than the decomposition rate, and when you are aging, the decomposition speed is greater than the synthesis speed." Yizi drifts from her body into the air, like her body secreting sweat, and the decomposed Yizi becomes the food of Yazu, who synthesizes her own life by ingesting life fragments. Tiny life feeds on the weak, survives, destroys, and achieves great life. ”
[Why are you telling me this?] The exam will not be taken. 】
Nangong Ming felt that the picture in front of him was amazing, but after listening to the girl's words, he felt that it was not as beautiful as before. But if you think about it, isn't there a biological system behind every beautiful photograph you've seen so far? What human beings can see is the beauty of the lines and colors shown by the photographer, and where they can't see, the laws of nature are still working.
[No, no, no, what does this have to do with you, now is not the time to think about these issues, right? 】
Nangong Ming felt a faint pain in his brain at the thought of making up for the courses that were much behind.
"Although I don't want to, from today onwards, this blade will be inherited by you." As the girl spoke, she untied the guitar case on her back and handed it to Nangong Ming.
Nangong Ming's body instinctively shrank back, and he also had palpitations at the girl who stabbed himself on a branch.
"It's so valuable, I don't think I can take it."
The girl's face darkened all of a sudden.
"Wait, wait," Nangong Ming was afraid that the girl would throw herself around again, so he hurriedly explained: "For example, I'm not familiar with you, I don't even know what you do, I don't even know your name......"
"Yu Ai, my name is Yu Ai." The girl said.
"Yu Ai...... Is it? Miss Yu Ai, I want to know ...... after I 'inherited' this knife."
"It has a name, Broken Moon."
