Yan Jingxing, like Xie Yuzhi, opened his mouth wide in astonishment.

Unlike the captain's classmates, he believed Ji Chunzao's words; And the same thing about her is that he has never seen ...... I never even imagined I would see such an amazing sight.

In the gray sky overhead, a huge black shadow loomed in the dense clouds, and it had an overwhelmingly huge body, and its octopus tentacles-like limbs swayed wantonly like high-rise buildings that came to life.

He couldn't see the whole picture of the monster in the clouds, only the shadows that fell on the undulating sea.

Yan Jingxing watched blankly, feeling an unprecedented sense of oppression seizing his body and mind, and could only hear the "pounding" heartbeat from the depths of his eardrum, but his body froze and couldn't move.

Does it eat people? Will it use that huge tentacle to roll people up and grab them to the sky? He didn't know, and felt that even if there was such a thing, he would not be able to resist, so he could only watch the monster in the clouds curl up its tentacles leisurely, or put it down, and brush it on the water......

He turned his head with difficulty, and his gaze crossed from Xie Yuzhi's face, who was also shocked to the point of speechlessness, and landed on Ji Chunzao's side cheek.

"This ...... That's what you said the other day......"

"Hmm!"

Ji Chunzao opened her eyes, she turned her face, and showed a bright smile that was so cheerful that it was not like words.

"It's an alien creature I've called. How's that, oversized, right? ”

…… It's too much.

What about others? Can others see it?

Yan Jingxing couldn't help but look at the sea in the distance, and turned to look at the road surrounded by mountains.

There are no passing boats, no cars passing on the roads, no villages on the hills, and this place is off the beaten track.

Even so, there is no guarantee that no one but the three of them will be able to witness this scene.

…… Or would others think of the appearance of the monster in the clouds as some kind of anomalous celestial phenomenon? If it weren't for the fact that he was standing up close and observing, he could only choose to trust his own eyes, and I am afraid that he would subconsciously regard it as an illusion or a phenomenon of clouds before the storm.

But because he's standing on this reef right now, he's sure that it's a living thing!

"Summoning this thing......"

Yan Jingxing's tone was harsh.

"You, aren't you afraid of accidents?"

"Huh, what's wrong?" Ji Chunzao's eyes widened, with a look of surprise, "Isn't nothing happening now?" ”

“…… Yes no, but don't you be scared when you see this kind of thing? ”

"Scared? That's not all, but I was a little surprised when I saw it for the first time. How can I say it......"

Ji Chunzao raised his head and stared at the giant shadow that wandered in the sky before the storm.

In silhouette, it resembles a squid floating in the depths of the ocean, but it is larger than the largest creature on Earth today.

Even after witnessing such a horrific scene, her tone was still brisk:

"I'll tell you up front that it's just a feeling, but I don't think this big guy floating in the sky will hurt us."

"Friendly alien creatures, could it be?"

"No, my thought is that the other side may not have taken us to heart at all."

That's just as well.

Yan Jingxing kept tilting his neck, trying to see clearly the overall appearance of the monster hidden in the dark clouds, and when he looked at it, he felt that his neck began to sour.

For "it", the three of them are like little ants passing by, maybe they can't see it at all.

…… No, it's not.

He almost forgot one thing: he and Xie Yuzhi might be little ants, but Ji Chunzao was the one who summoned it-

While pondering, Yan Jingxing suddenly felt a pain in his waist, and it turned out that Ji Chunzao was quietly poking himself with his elbow.

“…… What's wrong? ”

He asked, lowering his voice in some surprise.

The little girl snickered smugly and quietly pouted in the direction of the captain's classmates.

"Did you see Xie Yuzhi's expression? Well, my plan must have succeeded this time, right? ”

So, Yan Jingxing once again focused his attention on Xie Yuzhi.

She seemed to have regained her composure. The stunned look with a slightly open mouth just now must be a rare gaffe for this girl.

Now, Xie Yuzhi, like them, was raising his head and looking up at the monster hiding in the clouds, trying to see what was going on.

This attitude shows that she must have seen it.

He remembered Ji Chunzao's words.

As long as the scale is "to a certain extent", even ordinary people can see it...... Is it?

"Jing Xing, what do you think?"

"Hmm." Yan Jingxing came back to her senses and nodded, "She did see aliens like us, so she should have to believe it now." ”

"I'll just say it!"

Ji Chunzao smiled so that his eyebrows crooked, and he poked his waist with his elbow.

"Quick, go and remind her, let her quickly admit that aliens exist, and in this way, even if I win!"

Yan Jingxing was a little speechless and glared at her.

"Why don't you say it yourself?"

"I ......"

The little girl's expression froze suddenly.

"I, I have other ideas, and this time my words came true, I didn't lie, I was serious all along, and it shouldn't be my ...... to take the initiative."

Yan Jingxing could see that her words were insincere.

In fact, there is no special reason, it is simply because Ji Chunzao has a wonderful and complicated "awe" for the captain classmates who helped him. Just like a mischievous child who sees his serious mother, he can't help but shrink his neck......

"Okay."

He grabbed his hair, and was about to speak to Xie Yuzhi when he was about to speak-

"Huh."

He heard the crisp laughter and was stunned for a moment.

The laughter came from the three of them.

Xie Yuzhi in front of him covered his cherry-colored lips with his hand, but he couldn't stop the upward arc.

He had long been accustomed to Ji Chunzao's laughter, but it was the first time he had heard and seen the laughter of the captain's classmates.

"Hehehe...... Whew...... Hoohahaha......"

As if hearing a very funny joke, Xie Yuzhi couldn't stop laughing, and all the serious and serious impressions she had left on people in the past disappeared in this laughter.

The more she laughed, the more she couldn't stop laughing, and in the end she even covered her abdomen with her hands and arched her body slightly, because she laughed too much, and even the corners of her eyes overflowed with crystal tears.

What makes her so funny?

Ji Chunzao was obviously stunned by the abnormal performance of the captain's classmates, and couldn't help but lean over to Yan Jingxing's side, and asked in a low voice with some fear.

She ...... Could it be that you are scared silly? Is your brain getting abnormal? ”

It seems that Xie Yuzhi, who smiled so presumptuously, is the first time she has seen her, even as a roommate.

After half a ring, she finally regained her composure and wiped away her tears.

"Excuse me...... I just heard the conversation between the two of you. Haruzamo she was right, this time it was my turn to take the initiative. ”

Miss Xie bowed her head and apologized to the two of them.

"I'm sorry, I'm a frog in the well, and all my previous judgments were based on common sense, but they were all wrong."

Seeing her admit her mistakes so frankly, Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao didn't know what to say, they looked at each other, and finally Yan Jingxing spoke first:

After all, everyone accepts this common sense, and it's normal not to believe in the absence of aliens. I was also ...... at first. I think it's pretty good that you're able to accept the truth so quickly. ”

"I consider myself a realist, and now that I have seen with my own eyes the existence beyond my imagination, it is already an unquestionable 'reality' for me, and I have to accept this option. Also, why do you think I hate Chunzao so much that she always talks about aliens? ”

"Because you don't think they exist?"

She nodded, then shook her head again,

"Because I had hoped for them countless times before, but as I grew up, the knowledge and reason I learned told me that it was not. Until just now, I had a feeling that my dream had been lost, and it turned out that it was everything I had learned that went wrong...... What could be better news than this? ”

"You want aliens to exist in this world?"

Yan Jingxing felt that he couldn't understand her words again.

"Pretty much, if there are no aliens, it's okay to have ghosts and ghosts." She said.

"No, if you talk about science, there are no ghosts in this world."

Ji Chunzao on the side couldn't help but interject.

Xie Yuzhi's gaze immediately turned to her, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth rose again. Ji Chunzao was a little hairy, and subconsciously wanted to hide behind Yan Jingxing.

But before that, her hand had been pulled in advance.

"Haruzao, have you been looking for traces of aliens? Since elementary school? ”

"Well, yes, yes......"

"Now it's Yan Jingxing, right?"

Xie Yuzhi's eyes were burning and she showed quite amazing enthusiasm.

"-So, can you add me one?"

“……”

After Ji Chunzao looked at the other party for a while, she no longer flinched, but replied with a serious expression:

"Actually, I've always wanted you to say that."

“…… That's great. Thank you. Also, I'm sorry. ”

"No need to apologize."

Yan Jingxing's mood relaxed, and he looked at them with a smile with his arms on his side.

"It's incredible, how many monsters like that are there in this world...... Huh? ”

Xie Yuzhi sighed with emotion, turned her head to look at the sky, and she suddenly let out a surprised sound.

"Wait a minute, you see, is it going to disappear?"

Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao raised their heads at the same time, the colossal silhouette between the clouds and mist gradually became illusory, and the mountain-like tentacles that fell from the sky slowly disappeared from view.

“——！”

At the moment when the monster in the cloud was about to disappear, they seemed to hear some kind of sound like a huge mechanical gear snapping against each other, echoing in their hearts.

"Boom!"

At the same time, a terrible thunder sounded above the sky, and the light of a thunderbolt illuminated the rolling waves that rose and fell in the darkness.

The sky was already as dark as if it was late at night, and after a while, a fresh vapor brewed in the air, blowing on the faces of the teenagers and girls, and there was a feeling of coolness.

"It's really gone......"

Ji Chunzao whispered regretfully.

"It's hard to say if you'll be able to summon it next time."

"You've already achieved your goal anyway, haven't you?"

Yan Jingxing said with a smile.

"By the way, do you two have anything else to do, or are you going to go home like this?"

Xie Yuzhi asked, and the light of lightning bloomed again, illuminating the faces of the three people on the reef.

"It's going to rain soon, so I guess I'll have to go back."

"Well, so am I."

"-So, are you going to come to my house?"

Xie Yuzhi stretched out his hand to the two and made an invitation. "Pop", just as a drop of rain fell on her palm, and cold droplets of water slid down her hair and face.

"I'm not going back to school today. I'm amazed right now, and I want to find a place to clean up and talk to the two of you for a little longer. Would you like to come to my house if you have time? ”

……

The rain soon began to fall heavily, and countless raindrops fell on the reef and the sea.

The boys and girls jumped off the reef and hurried towards where the car was parked.

The wind howled, causing bouts of pain in the cheeks and ears, mercilessly carrying the chill and moisture into the collars and cuffs of the children's clothes.

Dust flew under their feet, and the soft soil soon became wet and muddy.

On the way, I happened to bump into the driver of Xie Yuzhi's house, who was anxiously looking for them with an umbrella; In the end, the three of them squeezed into the car together.

The engine starts, the headlights come on, and the bright pillars of light shine through the darkness that envelops the mountain road, illuminating the white mist.

The sedan pierced through the rain curtain and rushed towards the dim lights below the mountain......
