Chapter 19: Sleepless Nights

The night of the other world is very dark and deep, not at all like the night of the original metropolis, which is reflected in light red by dust and neon. The darkness makes people feel cold, and the depth makes people feel panic. At least, that's how Li Jia feels.

Li Jia is very familiar with the night sky, he was not a gregarious person when he was a child, he liked to look up at the stars in the dark mountain village yard after finishing his homework, even if there is no moon, the starlight can outline a mysterious and mysterious imaginary world for him. However, there are fewer stars here than on Earth, and they are more dull and indifferent, so they don't play that game with Li Jia at all. There was no moon here, only the playground downstairs and the fire at the rescue site, faintly illuminating his face.

"Are you looking for the moon?" Xiao Chen entered the bedroom at some point, "Not today, maybe in a few days." Maybe there's more than one. ”

"The ancients said that looking at the stars reveals everyone's destiny. I just stared at them, trying to see a name. However, I really don't have much talent for astrology, and the more I look at it, the more confused I feel. Li Jia said and stood up from the recliner, "How is Luo Ling?"

"No big problem, tired. The teacher's dormitory where she lived was not damaged, and I sent her back to rest. It was cold outside, and I was ready to change my clothes. The room was pitch black, he opened the closet, looking for a set of long-sleeved sweatshirts and pants, "Lao Chen, they haven't retired to rest, I'm going to help him dig ......people together" Saying this, Xiao Chen seemed to be stuck, and suddenly lost his voice.

Li Jia saw that Xiao Chen had no sound or movement for a long time, so he used his mobile phone to shine into the room, only to see Xiao Chen standing in front of the cabinet door steadily, looking at the inside of the cabinet attentively, as if he had fallen into an evil spirit. The miserable white mobile phone light reflected Xiao Chen's face like a zombie. Thinking that this is a magical world, Li Jia is a little furious in her heart, there won't be anything weird in this cupboard, right?

Just when he didn't know whether he should step forward or run away, Xiao Chen's animation was pressed to continue playing, and he took out his clothes casually, smiled unnaturally at Li Jia, and explained: "I suddenly got a little distracted. You have a good rest, I'm going to help. Then he ran out the door. Li Jia stood stunned for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to come to the door of the cupboard. Shine your phone on the cabinet door and pull it hard!

There's nothing in it......

——————————————————————

Xiao Chen walked on the road, not at all as steady as usual, but stumbled a little. No one knew that at this time, a turbulent wave was setting off in his heart. When he looked at the clothes in the cupboard just now, he didn't see anything strange. He was stunned only because what he saw, too clear.

When he first opened the cupboard, he found that it was pitch black, and he couldn't tell which dress was, and just when he secretly complained that he couldn't see clearly, the scene in his eyes slowly changed strangely, and everything became clearer and clearer. It's as if he had a night vision goggle.

However, unlike night vision devices, what is seen in those fields of view is not monochromatic, but as colorful as during the day, except that they are slightly dim, like a pencil light drawing. Xiao Chen didn't know what was going on, and this strange ability surprised and puzzled him. He instinctively didn't want to tell Li Jia, lest he make a fuss, so he walked out of the room in a bit of a panic and came to the corridor of the bedroom.

The whole world has changed.

All the darkness seemed to be dispelled, and the obviously dark corridor, like a corridor lamp, was obviously just a black shadow, but it became clear. Xiao Chen blinked his eyes hard as he walked out, trying to figure out if this was a momentary feeling or a lasting ability. However, it wasn't until he walked outside the dormitory building and saw that the night sky had turned a jewel-like blue, covered with silver stars, and that feeling didn't go away. He walked to a fire, the fire didn't appear particularly bright, the world around it didn't need it to illuminate it, and its only function in Xiao Chen's eyes was to paint the surrounding dirt and grass light red.

Xiao Chen felt that he was in the world painted by a colorblind painter, he didn't use the right color, but this masterpiece was beautiful and weird. He walked and looked, and circled to see all around, like a blind man who had just gained light, dancing for the new world......

"Can you go slower?" Ji Yijun held a simple spear made of steel bars, and said weakly to Ye Zi, who was walking in front, holding a torch to look east and west. As soon as he rotated from the rescue team, he was drawn by the other party after taking a nap, and was dragged into the night patrol team guarding the school.

Although he was tired and sleepy, the other party's words stirred him up: "Aren't you very good at fighting? Now is the time to prove that you can protect the school with your fists." ”

But after following Ye Zi for a few turns, Ji Yijun regretted it. Ye Zi's energy is also too abundant, jumping up and down, and he has to look carefully at every place, which is really tiring.

"Ji Yijun, you have a little sense of responsibility, okay? Such a large campus, just rely on a few of our patrol teams to watch. If we are all passive and slack off like you, what if the natives come to attack us?" Ye Zi snorted angrily and pointed at Ji Yijun with a torch.

"I've started doing business with them, so there's nothing to worry about. ”

"Even if there are no natives, what if a monkey creeps in the wall, and what if a wild boar rushes out of the grass?"

"But I'm really tired, let's go slowly, shall we?"

"Tired, it's not tiring to flirt with female classmates, right?"

"Hehe, when people say hello, how can I ignore it?" Ji Yijun smiled cheaply.

Ye Zi snorted coldly and ignored him.

"It's just that there are a lot of people who like me. Hey, you're not jealous, are you? Oh mom!" Ji Yijun muttered halfway through, and saw something in the darkness that he didn't know if it was a bird or a bat, startled by the torch wielded by Ye Zi, and flew out of a bush with a flutter, which flew over his head, so frightened that he almost dropped the steel spear.

Ye Zi giggled twice, glanced at Ji Yijun, shook the short braid, and continued to walk forward.

Ji Yijun was a little embarrassed, so he said: "You can still laugh, how thick your nerves are." ”

Ye Zi turned around and said strangely: "I'm not allowed to laugh?"

"Have you seriously thought about your current situation?" Ji Yijun stopped laughing, "We were thrown into this ghost place, and we are all lonely ghosts that no one wants!"

Ye Zi frowned, "Aren't you here so well, how did you become a lonely ghost?"

"It turns out that in that world, without our group of people, it is like dead. Dad can't find it, and mom can't see it. And here we are, we have nothing, we are nothing. ”

"Not responsible!" Ye Zi didn't seem to want to debate with him, so he turned around and left.

"Why am I not responsible? I dug up people for an afternoon and rescued several classmates with my own hands. Now I'm patrolling here with you again. Who can say that about me?" Ji Yijun said indignantly, "However, we are so miserable now, we have such a bleak future, and we don't even know how to live!"

Ye Zi said loudly, "A person who is responsible must first have a heart that dares to take responsibility." If you have the kung fu to worry about this and worry about that, it's better to think about how to do what you're responsible for. ”

"Bastard, I've done my best!" Ji Yijun yelled.

"Who is arguing? are you ......?" a burly man ran down from a gatehouse tower in front of him.

The figure ran closer and closer, Ji Yijun looked at the direction the man was running from with a shocked face, he snatched Ye Zi's torch and ran towards the man.

The torches showed a somewhat old, but incomparably kind face.

"Dad!"

"Jun?"

"Dad, why are you here?"

"But I found you! I stewed a chicken, brought you to school, and along the way, I came across strange things here. ”

"I, I was just thinking, no more...... It's okay, it's okay. But, how are you standing guard here? Mommy? Is she with you?"

"I'm a veteran, and I asked for it, and I wanted to make it easier to find you in a high place! But your mother, your mother is at home...... Alas. ”

"Mom...... Mom ......" Ji Yijun hugged his father, like a man falling off a cliff and holding a pine, and the tall guy sobbed like a child. His father suddenly seemed a little at a loss, how many years had his son stopped holding him, and now he didn't even know where to put his hand. But in the next second, he hugged his son tightly and patted him on the shoulder hard.

However, neither of them noticed that Ye Zi, who was not far away, watched the reunion of their father and son in a daze, his face was full of tears......

"That's the way it is. Luo Ling took a sip of tea gently, as if she wanted to remember the taste of Longjing, and swallowed it after a while. The blood on her face had not yet recovered, her head had a new bandage, and she was lazily sunk into the couch. Xiao Chen definitely didn't expect that Luo Ling, who was sent back to the dormitory by him and couldn't walk steadily, would appear in Principal Guo's office in the middle of the night.

Principal Guo on the other side looked at her with some pity in the dark, sighed and said: "It's not easy, today is a difficult day for everyone, you two are especially hard, you have experienced the plot in the movie." After a day of getting along, what do you think of Xiao Chen?"

The faint starlight illuminated Luo Ling's every move very clearly, she closed her eyes slightly, stroked her brow with her hand and thought, and said after a while, "What kind of person he is is a secondary question." Now that he has appeared at this point in time and stepped onto the stage himself, he should make full use of this role. ”

"Not bad. The school needs a cover, we need an identity, and there is nothing more suitable than him, a 'magician' who is in the wrong direction. Guo Qian picked up a short sword from the desk in front of him, but no matter how he fiddled with it, the sword didn't jump out of a spark, "However, in my opinion, character is still very important." In this strange world, hundreds of us can lead to the annihilation of an entire army by a single mistake. So, I want you to tell me how you feel about him. ”

"Trust. I don't dare to say that I can recognize a person through a day of getting along. However, in every danger, every difficulty, and every challenge, he lived up to my trust. Therefore, I am also willing to give him the greatest trust. Luo Ling replied calmly.
