In the evening, the tall white school building reflects the colorful glow, and the golden light is shining.

On the second floor of the teaching building, in an oil painting classroom, there are more than a dozen college students. They sit in front of their drawing boards, occasionally observing the porcelain and fruit on the still life table, and then piling up pine-scented pigments in palettes onto the canvases.

In the corner of the classroom, behind the synthetic wood drawing board, a pale-faced wooden boy held a chemical fiber brush, trembling all over.

He frowned, his gaze wandering, as if he were stunned, and looked a little painful.

This boy from Mu Ne, named Tang Zheng, is a sophomore in the Department of Oil Painting.

On his canvases, the lines are messy, the picture is unbalanced, and there is no beauty in it. However, this abstraction is not a deliberate slackness, but a feeling of depression and helplessness.

This helplessness stems from the beast that sleeps in the heart.

At this time, the art knives randomly placed in the oil painting classroom, and all the classmates, there was a sense of danger, as if the muzzle of a gun was pointed at the center of his eyebrows, making his hair stand up all over his body, and cold sweat was dense. There was a voice in his heart, muttering, beguiling him to gnaw at all the dangers, bite the blades, tear the bodies of his classmates, and swallow the flesh into his belly.

The desire to nibble is gradually wearing away his reason, and he is struggling to resist.

Because of this strange symptom, Tang Zheng also saw a psychiatrist.

The symptoms were discovered after the college entrance examination, and at the time he thought it was because he was overusing his brain and didn't care about it, but as the symptoms worsened and gradually affected his life, he felt that he needed treatment. Fearing that the name of mental illness would spread, he sneaked into a remote psychological clinic.

In that clinic, except for a little sister who registered a case, there was only one sitting doctor.

When I first met, the psychiatrist was very enthusiastic, claiming to be Dr. Feng and a former writer.

However, when he found that Tang Zheng was not accompanied by his parents and only held three hundred yuan in his hand, he regained his attitude.

perfunctory, prescribed a three-day dose of medicine, and sent Tang Zheng out of the clinic.

Tang Zheng, who was pushed out of the psychological clinic, was very happy, according to the doctor, this is a common psychological problem, a small problem, relax, listen to light music, and it will get better if you don't think about it.

The doctor's words made him let go of his worries and no longer control the desire to nibble that made him nervous.

Walk out of the clinic and stand in the courtyard where the parking is parked outside. He also felt that he was too nervous, no matter how strong his desire was, it was just a desire, could he really eat the Jinbei minivan that was parked here and belonged to a psychiatrist?

And then......

The uncontrollable desire to eat began to stir, and the bewitching sound from the bottom of his heart became louder and louder, as if roaring in his ears, and he lost consciousness in the whirlwind.

When he regained consciousness, only four tires of the Jinbei van fell to the ground, and he was so frightened that he quickly ran home and curled up in a ball.

Since then, Tang Zheng has never been to the hospital.

Because a person can eat a car, there is no other treatment than slices.

The only thing he can do is to live carefully.

But it is not easy to live, just imagine, throw a normal person into a cellar full of poisonous insects, even if the poisonous insects do not harm him, I am afraid that he will go insane because of fear.

According to the instinct of the beast in his heart, man was the poisonous insect in the cellar, surrounding him all day long, exuding a strong danger and provoking the desire to eat. He is kind and doesn't want to hurt others, so he can only pretend to be withdrawn and wooden all day long and reduce contact with other people.

"Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng! Come here, look at it!"

A beautiful girl came to Tang Zheng's side.

She was wearing a sky blue princess dress, with white stockings and pitch-black leather shoes, throwing off the straight black hair of the shawl, screaming at Tang Zheng excitedly, and handing the curved screen mobile phone on her white palm to him.

Holding back the desire to bite into the beauty, Tang Zheng controlled his facial muscles, looked dumbfounded, and stammered and replied: Okay...... Okay, I'll see, I'll see. ”

The beautiful long-haired girl is called Gu Xi, the two have been classmates in high school for three years, and they were also admitted to the same university and assigned to the same major, which is very fateful.

In the entire oil painting department, she is the only one who is willing to talk to Tang Zheng, who is wooden and boring on the surface.

Ignoring the white-skinned cute fingers, on the screen of the phone, is a weird piece of news with pictures.

The headline of the news was 'Bread Sandwiched Sister Flowers'. Illustrated and illustrated, except for the mosaic on the face of the sisters with good figures, the rest of the content is clear and clear.

This series of news has been very common in the city in recent years, and no one knows whether it is true or not, but everyone is discussing it with great interest. At the same time, this is also Tang Zheng's favorite, only on this weird picture, he can enjoy the appetite for food, without trying to bite the dead next to him.

For more than a year after his illness was identified, his greatest pleasure was to seek solace in this ridiculous news picture.

While looking at the bizarre food and twisted corpses, he ate an unappetizing cafeteria meal.

Since this habit was discovered by Gu Xi, she has always paid attention to similar news, collecting the latest content such as 'Sausage Strangling a Pure Young Woman', 'Oden Licking Little Lori', and 'Apple Pie's Gentleman's Bus' to share with him.

Gu Xi held up his mobile phone, and Tang Zheng enjoyed watching it, reflecting each other into a painting.

However, some people do not see this scene.

A boy wearing a fashionable T-shirt and a middle-style style walked over, pretending to meet by chance and accosting Gu Xi: "Hey, Gu Xi, I saw a French candy store in the commercial street, do you want to go with me to have a look, but they are all imported." ”

Being disturbed, Tang Zheng turned a blind eye and still looked intently at the screen in Gu Xi's mobile phone.

"I'm sorry, Tang Zheng just said that he was going to buy it for me, next time. ”

Gu Xi smiled shyly and refused to be a middle-style boy.

Then he stretched out his slender little finger, hooked the hanging black hair behind his ear, and coquettishly said to Tang Zheng: "Have you seen enough, it's the candy store on the corner of the commercial street, the second street, you have promised others." ”

"Huh?"

Tang Zheng looked confused, raised his head and looked at the two of them blankly, thinking, "What did I promise?"

"Hurry up, the candy stores are about to close~"

Finding that Tang Zheng's consciousness did not keep up, Gu Xi rolled his cute big eyes and urged Tang Zheng.

Looking at Gu Xi's sexy eyelashes, Tang Zheng finally relieved himself, dropped the oil paintbrush in his hand, smiled innocently, and hurriedly agreed: "Oh, I'll go now, right away!"

After that, he walked out of the classroom under Gu Xi's gentle gaze.

He is not stupid, and he also understands the intentions of the middle-sized boy towards Gu Xi, and even when he approached the middle-class boy just now, he wanted to exude a trace of the beast breath in his body and scare him into an ugly one.

But then, he is afraid to go near others, which only makes things worse. So he chose to turn a blind eye and try to avoid friction, lest he arouse a stronger desire to eat.

's excessive avoidance made Tang Zheng a well-known coward and was ridiculed.

Last year's freshman year, my classmates went to an amusement park together.

Both boys and girls have experienced roller coasters, rapids, jumping machines, and other entertainment items that can bring sensory stimulation. He was the only one, afraid of sudden illness, and did not participate in a dangerous project.

And, in order to reduce contact with others, hide 20 meters away from the entertainment area throughout the whole process.

It's not a problem, it's not a shame, and at most it makes other students feel weird. At most, explain two sentences afterwards, and prevaricate with reasons such as fear of heights and speed.

But then, the nightmare began.

Gu Xi called on everyone to go on a journey of love, because Tang Zheng, who can't participate in dangerous projects, is too pitiful, and should find some safe projects to make him happy.

Sixty-one students from the Department of Oil Painting, Xu thought it was fun and decided to participate in the event.

Tang Zheng, who couldn't refuse, could only accept it.

When I first entered the children's bumper park, I was only laughed at a few words. After sitting on the merry-go-round and the spinning bee, the students joined hands to form a protective fence and sent him to the fairy paradise, which completely detonated the amusement park.

Let Tang Zheng become the focus of attention in the amusement park that day.

Before leaving, the middle-of-the-road boy suggested that Tang Zheng catch a small goldfish at the goldfish stall to commemorate this love trip. Perhaps for safety, several tall male classmates recommended themselves and protected themselves for fear that he would fall into a small pool of less than 20 centimeters.

When Tang Zheng stretched out his cold hand and took the packaged little goldfish from the frightened goldfish stall owner, he just wanted to tell everyone: He didn't want such happiness!

After passing through the central garden in front of the teaching building, Tang Zheng came to the back door on the north side of the school.

Outside the back door is the bus stop, and the gray cement road leads directly to the commercial street, and the holly and aspen on both sides are lush, and the dark green leaves stretch out to flourish at half past six in summer.

Under the tired sunset, Tang Zheng stretched his waist, then put his hands in his pockets and waited quietly for the car.

The breeze blows the short broken hair, lining the young face with a fresh and handsome look.

The mobile phone in his pocket vibrate, and thinking that Gu Xi had another explanation, Tang Zheng hurriedly took out the silver-white mobile phone.

There is a caller ID on the screen, and the remarks say 'Daddy'.

Tang Zheng took a deep breath, his face full of worry.

After he picked up the phone, he opened his mouth and asked, "Dad, where are you?" Do you want me to pick you up?"

"How many times have you said it! Your father has no problem with his brain, speak well!" a sharp middle-aged man's voice came from the phone, like sharp metal, full of strength and aggression. There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, perhaps wanting to make his tone appear gentler, to control his emotions, and continued: "Xiao Zheng, don't go out recently, stay at school honestly, those problems are getting more and more serious, don't be involved." ”

Tang Zheng smacked his tongue and sighed in his heart, feeling sad for his father's situation.

Two years ago, not long after the end of his college entrance examination, his mother disappeared. The father, who was anxious all day long, couldn't get the news, had an abnormal spirit, and like a madman, he thought that his mother was captured by a monster from another dimension, so he began to indulge in the occult, and wanted to use magic to open the passage of another dimension and rescue his mother.

Afraid that his father would hang up the phone and run away from home again, Tang Zheng cautiously asked, "What's the problem?"

"It's hard to say, but you don't want to go out of school. Tang Zheng's father spoke calmly and did not make judgments.

Hearing such an answer, Tang Zheng was even more worried.

Psychiatric problems are most likely to be diagnosed when the patient has no logic. And his father always looks sober-minded, logical and clear, even if he goes to the hospital, it is difficult to make a diagnosis, and now he is not even superstitious about magic, and it is estimated that he is hopeless.

Afraid that his father would be in danger outside alone, Tang Zheng decided to coax his father to school.

See each other first, then plan.

He pretended to believe it and begged his father, saying, "That's it, Dad~ Why don't you protect me for a while." If something happens and I don't know how to do magic, won't I die?"

“......”

"Get out!"

"Believe it or not!"

His father's angry scolding came from the phone, which made Tang Zheng understand that his lie had been exposed, and he held his forehead, his face full of embarrassment.

After scolding, Tang Zheng's father impatiently explained: "Your father and I will sneak into the magician's space fortress in a while, and I don't have time to deal with you, if something really happens, use the mouth on your neck to solve it." ”

Drip...... The call is dropped.

On the other end of the phone, he hung up the phone neatly.

The corners of Tang Zheng's eyes twitched, and he couldn't complain, what the hell are magicians and Battlefortress, your old life is really colorful......

Looking at the bus that had just arrived, Tang Zheng shook his head helplessly, put away his mobile phone, and boarded up.

Then I found a comfortable place in the empty carriage and thought, "You only have a mouth around your neck!"
