Chapter 2: Omens
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the full moon hangs high, the city lights shine on the sky, and some thin clouds can still be faintly seen. The sidewalks of the campus are deserted, and every other stretch of the road there is a quaint street lamp to dispel the darkness around it, and a few moths will fly up and down around the light from time to time.
At this time, it was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening, and You Xi walked slowly on the school road leading to the canteen, and occasionally saw one or two couples sitting in the corner of the grass and talking about love. On both sides of the school road, there are some flowers and plants that have been corrected neatly, but now You Xi feels a little awkward looking at these flowers and plants, now some of these flowers and plants are growing luxuriantly, and some of them have withered and yellow leaves, and they look like they are dying.
After turning a few corners, You Xi came to the back door of the dining hall, which was a little dark.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, blowing the flowers and plants on the side of the road undulating, and also made You Xi feel much cooler in this hot weather.
Suddenly, You Xi seemed to feel a shadow flickering in front of him, and then, another white shadow flew in front of him. The speed was so fast that You Xi could only see two shadows.
"Speed 1.4"!
"Meow ......" You Xi followed the sound and saw a white cat wandering by the sewer in the corner, looking at the hole through the sewer manhole cover and barking.
It turned out that the cat was catching mice, and You Xi suddenly remembered that there was a white cat that often roamed the school, and it was strange to say that the white cat had one blue eye and the other eye was yellow, which made many people feel weird. It's just that this white cat shouldn't be that one, this white cat is much bigger, and even bigger is a bit abnormal.
Xu heard You Xi's footsteps, the white cat looked back at You Xi suddenly, the two cat's eyes were big and round, and You Xi could clearly see the white cat's blue and yellow eyes through the reflection of the light. The white cat was very neat, and after a few glances at You Xi, he continued to wait by the manhole cover, his long tail sweeping behind his back.
I didn't expect it to be the white cat, You Xi muttered in his heart, but what surprised You Xi was what the white cat had eaten recently, and how its body had grown a lot as if it had taken hormones. Could it be that it is a rat that eats?
Regardless of You Xi's surprise, the white cat squatted beside the sewer and waited for a while, or waited impatiently, the white cat stood up and walked to the root of the manhole cover in the sewer, sniffed, raised his front paws and gently touched the manhole cover a few times, probably because he was angry that he didn't catch the hateful mouse, the white cat pawed on the manhole cover, leaving a few clear cat paw prints on the manhole cover and then left leisurely.
"This cat really has a personality," You Xi sighed as he looked at the cat's paw prints left on the manhole cover. "Wait, cat's paw prints, am I missing something," Thinking of this, You Xi immediately walked to the sewer and squatted down, touching the cat's paw prints on the manhole cover with his hand.
"Could it be that this manhole cover is made of foam, and what is the hardness?" You Xi was puzzled.
Frowning and pondering, You Xi didn't notice that his right hand stroking the manhole cover suddenly had an invisible fluctuation that penetrated the manhole cover, like a gust of breeze blowing through the manhole cover without leaving the slightest trace.
"Hardness 1.5".
This Xia Xi can not be calm, what can the hardness of 1.5 mean, You Xi stood up, looked at his hands, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his head, looked around, and walked to the metal handrail in front of the canteen door to help rest.
"What will be the hardness of this armrest?" You Xi thought so, and the hand holding the handrail felt cool again, as if there was a clear spring flowing through it.
"Hardness 1.6".
Suddenly, a thick feeling of dizziness hit You Xi's head, and there was no blood on his face, like a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness. You Xi endured the discomfort in his head, walked to the back door of the dining hall and sat down on the stairs, rubbed his eyebrows, and it took a while to feel comfortable.
What's going on? You Xi looked at his hands suspiciously, the items he had touched with his hands just now seemed to be reflected in his mind, and he could clearly calculate the data he wanted to know. It's just that using this ability too much will put a lot of burden on the brain?
You Xi raised his head and looked at the handrails beside him, but he didn't dare to use his ability to study anymore. Looking in the direction where the white cat left, the trace of the white cat had long disappeared without a trace. But the white cat's blue and yellow eyes were imprinted in You Xi's mind and could not fade away for a long time.
Are white cat's claws really harder than steel? The facts in front of him overturned You Xi's common sense. Also When did cats and mice get so fast? Thinking of the people who played for a long time in today's college games, You Xi's heart seemed to grasp something.
You Xi, who was relieved, came to the canteen supper window, and a canteen aunt in her forties looked at You Xi: "Pretty boy, what do you want?" "Aunt Canteen's Mandarin has a slight southern accent.
"Two fried pho, both packed." You Xi replied casually.
"Pho is gone!"
"Spicy hot?"
"All that's left is on the plate."
"Is there any bread?" Looking at the few sparse greens and tofu on the plate in front of him, You Xi didn't give up and asked.
"There are no more, all of today's students are sold out like starving ghosts reincarnated."
In the end, You Xi could only leave unwillingly empty-handed, looking at some students in the cafeteria who were gobbling up, he couldn't help but sigh, even if the amount of exercise was a bit large today, he didn't have to look like he wanted to swallow his tongue!
Next, You Xi walked to the school canteen, bought two packets of instant noodles and some dry food, and returned to the dormitory along the same road.
"Crunch ......" came downstairs to the dormitory, and You Xi heard some unusual sounds.
At first, You Xi thought that the thief was stealing the bicycle downstairs in the dormitory, so he walked away. When he came to the trash can on the edge of the grass, what You Xi saw was a huge mouse biting the trash can!
The rat, which was biting at the trash can with relish, heard the footsteps of humans and immediately turned around, and a pair of thin eyes flashing with a strange red light were particularly eye-catching in the dark.
The rat's first reaction when he saw You Xi was not to run away immediately, but to keep staring at You Xi as if with a provocative meaning. This made You Xi very unhappy, and You Xi took a step forward with a loud bang.
"Bang!"
With a whoosh, the rat finally fled.
"!" Looking at the direction in which the mouse fled, You Xi couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth. When he looked at the trash can that had been bitten by rats, he was shocked!
The rat had bitten a fist-sized hole in the bottom of the garbage can, and some sewage was dripping through the hole.
When did the rat become so perverted, You Xi thought in astonishment, it was pitch black all around, and only a little dim light shone from the corner of the stairs of the dormitory.
A breeze came, You Xi shivered suddenly, shrugged his shoulders, and without thinking much about it, he quickly walked towards the dormitory with his things.
……
Back in his dormitory, You Xi found that his two roommates were not playing games, but instead gathered together to watch the video.
"Two handsome guys, the canteen is sold out, I bought two packs of instant noodles and some biscuits, do you want it?" You Xi casually closed the door and asked loudly.
"You Xi, don't talk about this yet, something big has happened, come and take a look at this news." Xie Runkui looked at the video and said without looking back.
"What's going on again, don't you go back to what kind of wisdom hits the earth?" You Xi jokingly walked over.
"No, it's wildlife around the world that has become very abnormal lately." Chu Yu said with a frown.
“…… Many of the zoo's animals began to become restless, and at about three o'clock this afternoon, the famous explorer Peter was killed at the mouth of the bobcat, and several field surgical expeditions lost contact...... Yesterday, a farmer in Jiangxi Province saw dozens of chickens and ducks he raised being eaten by a giant snake...... "The video screen kept playing pictures of various animals.
"......" You Xi has been silent, which reminds him of the cat and mouse he saw just now, everything is as abnormal as it was said on the news.
"Are you saying it's true?" Chu Yu asked.
"It should be true, I heard my mother say on the phone some time ago that one of our street sweepers was bitten to death by a stray dog." Xie Runkui nodded in affirmation.
Just when the door of the dormitory was unlocked, You Xi and the others didn't pay much attention, it should be their last roommate back.
"Bang!" The dorm door was slammed open and slammed against the wall.
"I'm back, do you miss me?" The person who walked in was dressed in colorful clothes, wearing a peaked cap, and carrying large bags of things in both hands.
The person who came was You Xi's last roommate, named Zhao Wenbin, who was very handsome, but he was a little short.
"Didn't you say you were going to travel when you came back so soon?" Xie Runkui raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Don't I want to die, now the world is so chaotic and running around, and everyone has emigrated to Japan." Zhao Wenbin stepped into his seat in a few steps, and threw his backpack and hat on the bed, "I bought a lot of things this time, I'm so tired!" ”
"What did Boss Zhao buy again? Did you bring us anything nice to eat? ”
"I didn't buy anything to eat, but look at the backpack I just had, it's more than two thousand." Zhao Wenbin said, taking out a pair of shorts from a bag, "These pants are more than a thousand, don't get dirty!" ”
"Who would be bored with your stuff."
"By the way, did anyone touch my things or sit on my bed while I wasn't in the dorm?"
"Nope!"
……
The dormitory was full of people, and the atmosphere seemed to be the same as usual, but everyone had their own concerns.
…………
In the next few days, You Xi's life will move forward according to the normal trajectory, eating when he should eat, and going to class when he should go, but You Xi will be familiar with his own abilities while paying attention to the news.
It seems that the great changes in the world have no effect on them, the university students.
The storm will be very calm before it comes, and sometimes people can't bear to disturb the illusion of peace, but disasters are merciless, and when they should come, everything yesterday is a dream of Nanke!
