Chapter 2: The Ruined Place
Wenwen's words seem to have some kind of magic, and they can always set off stormy waves in the calm atmosphere, which makes Su Xuan, who has always prided himself on being quite cheeky, unable to resist. "No, no, it's not raining much now, I usually like a little rain, I seem to have something to do, everyone, I'll go first." Su Xuan hurriedly replied, but her face became more and more stiff. Without waiting for her to answer, she left the bus stop and headed in the direction of the school, as if fleeing the famine. Behind her, Wenwen continued to smile and hold Xiaomei's arm, the smile on her face bloomed more and more, as if today's events made her feel extremely satisfied, Xiaomei touched her head a little helplessly, and let her arm dangle in Wenwen's arms, but Sakura couldn't help but hold her pink umbrella tightly, looking at Su Xuan's departing back a little distracted, wanting to catch up, but after thinking about it, she finally gave up.
Soon, Su Xuan finally came to the gate of Evergreen University, looking at the lively scene at the gate of the campus, the security uncle shouted to maintain order, and the men and women were walking around the campus in pairs talking and laughing, all of them looked like they had been quiet for a long time. Su Xuan's slightly chaotic mood was also soothed by such a peaceful atmosphere, and after taking a deep breath of fresh air, Su Xuan stepped into the campus.
As Su Xuan's whole person entered the campus, the change happened suddenly, the pouring rain hit Su Xuan's body, his body was instantly wet, a large amount of rain flowed down his body to the ground, the sky seemed to be suddenly covered by a black cloth, the color in front of him was rapidly becoming gray, what made Su Xuan feel most frightened was that the shouting of the security uncle in his ears and the conversation of the students also disappeared in an instant at this moment, the world became so silent, only the sound of heavy rain washing over the world was constantly amplified in Su Xuan's ears, It was as if all that was left of the world was the sound of rain, and it was as if the whole world was crying in memory of all the dead creatures, and this cry was so terrible that it could not be stopped for a long time.
"What the hell is going on?" Su Xuan looked at the empty and gray surroundings, and he was left alone in the whole world. "No, no, I must be dreaming, yes, I just have to take a step back and go back to where I came from to wake up." Su Xuan pretended to be calm but his voice was a little hoarse, he raised his right foot and prepared to exit the same way, his right foot landed on the ground and walked out of the school gate smoothly, and the scene in front of him did not change in any way, "It seems that you can still get out." Su Xuan thought so, so he withdrew from the school gate without hesitation, but the scene in front of him made him desperate again.
In front of him was still the world that was only washed by rain, silent and uninhabited, he returned again, the position where he had just stepped into the school gate, Su Xuan's head seemed to explode at this moment, an indescribable sense of fear spread in his body, and his heart beat violently as if it was pinched by an invisible hand, "No! Su Xuan shouted, the only bit of reason in his mind instantly shattered, at this moment, Su Xuan no longer hesitated, quickly turned around and sprinted towards the school gate again.
Still walked through the school gate without hindrance, but he was still greeted by the familiar scene, Su Xuan kept running, the school gate in front of him was like a repeating slide, constantly flickering in front of him, Su Xuan seemed to be caught in some kind of cycle, unable to escape, unable to break free.
"Bang!" It was the sound of Su Xuan falling to the ground with all his strength, mixed with the sound of the rain being swept away. "Ahem." Su Xuan got up quickly and spit out the big mouthful of rainwater that had just been poured into his mouth due to the fall.
"I don't know exactly what's going on, but it seems that the way back has been blocked, and the only thing we can do now is to explore the inside of the school." Su Xuan touched the rain on his face, his panicked mind gradually calmed down, and he quickly thought about the only solution he could think of at the moment. This time he succeeded, and advanced dozens of steps towards the inside of the school, and Su Xuan did not appear at the school gate again.
Su Xuan continued to move forward, recalling in his mind the map of the building distribution of Evergreen University, the geographical location of Evergreen University is very special, although it is in the center of the city, but it is a valley, Evergreen University is surrounded by mountains, like a pancake falling into a plate. The huge complex of Evergreen University is confined by the terrain and becomes extremely regular, and the whole university looks like a giant clock or ...... when viewed from the air A sprawling complex shaped like an ancient Roman arena. Thinking of this, Su Xuan couldn't help but shake his head, sure enough, when people encounter strange events, they will become more likely to associate some unrealistic things, people will become extremely sensitive, and the way of thinking about things will be very different from usual.
Su Xuan walked along the main road of the campus, which was a road that ran through the midpoint of the circular campus, Su Xuan looked at the familiar buildings around him and everything was the same as he remembered, the difference was that after walking for so long, he didn't see anyone walking around the campus, and he didn't hear any sound except for the rain, what surprised him the most was that the more he walked towards the center of the school, the more obvious changes occurred in the surrounding buildings, and the closer to the center of the building seemed to fade more seriously, Gradually, it became dilapidated, and the neatly arranged buildings made this pattern seem particularly obvious.
"It seems that there is some kind of force, or some unknown being, that wants to guide me to the center of the school, although I feel that this is obviously a trap, but I have no choice, but if you just want to kill me, why bother so much." Su Xuan fell into deep thought again.
"Harm, there's no point in dwelling on it here, if you don't want to find a way out, it won't be long before I either freeze to death or starve to death, damn, fight!" Su Xuan clenched his fists, no longer hesitated, and aimed at the central square of the school.
Although the school is big enough, Su Xuan, who is moving at full speed, only took ten minutes to come to the center of the school, which is a large square, and usually the school organizes various large-scale activities here. Su Xuan came here, and sure enough, as expected, the buildings here are dilapidated to the extreme, no, the word dilapidated is no longer enough to describe it, this place is like experiencing an earthquake, there is no complete building, there are debris of buildings everywhere, but something new has appeared here.
A towering tree stood in the ruins, crystal clear as if carved from the most expensive jade in the world, and blood-red veins appeared on the trunk, vibrant green and blood-like red intertwined, injecting a touch of color into the gray world. Su Xuan knew very well that this big tree had never appeared in his memory, and there had never been such a tall and strange tree in the central square of the school.
Just when Su Xuan was still shocked by this thing that had never appeared, a voice suddenly sounded in his head, yes, not from his ears, but so suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Are you here? O whom I have longed for! ”
