7. The rain falls in the darkness of the wild stream

"In the next three days, our city will maintain heavy rainfall weather, please pay attention to precautions when traveling; The 7.18 disappearance case has not been solved, and the victim girl has not been heard from for more than 168 hours. The repair work of Tianjin Road has not yet ended, please pay attention to the detour. ”

The announcer's sexy tone came from the headphones, and the rain outside was falling wildly, crackling against the windows, like a crazy symphony, and the three feet above the head were continuous strings of water, as if the sky had opened the door of a sluice. Ignoring the dissuasion of the security booth, all kinds of private cars knocked down the guardrails and swarmed in, scurrying like flies, and the playground was full of car horns, one after another, shouting their children's names.

There was no one in the classroom anymore, but Chu Zihan was still here on duty, holding a rag in her hand and a bucket at her feet.

The head teacher often encourages everyone with Chu Zihan's deeds, saying that she is the only one in the class who has finished her duty, and the blackboard is shiny enough to reflect the light, and the rest of you always love to be lazy in the corners and corners, and you must learn more from others, if everyone is like her, why is our class not prosperous! Rating, why worry about dissatisfaction!

The students below usually only answer the ambition of the head teacher in silence, everyone knows that Chu Zihan is perfect, but most people will have a lot of faults, a beautiful girl like her who is as transcendent as her is estimated to be only one in China for thousands of years, not everyone shouts hard to sweat, and with a little inspiration, he can become Einstein.

After finishing her duty, Chu Zihan picked up her satchel, and there was a lake-blue flower umbrella on her table, which was given to her by Chu Yi. My sister came just after school, and the rain was not heavy at that time, so she knew that her sister was on duty today, so she came to deliver an umbrella.

In fact, Chu Zihan also had an umbrella in her bag, but she still accepted it, even if you don't need some things, you don't have to refuse, especially when facing your relatives.

The rain outside is still like a monstrous wave, this kind of weather, most of the students in Shilan Middle School are asked by their parents to pick them up, Chu Zihan also has his own driver at home, and his father is a middle-aged uncle who seems to be quite reliable.

Reliable this kind of thing, just referring to driving skills, character may not be, when he looked at Chu Zihan's thigh when he picked up the car for the hundredth time, it was time for him to be dismissed.

Too beautiful girls are a double-edged sword, as long as they don't make stupid mistakes, in this era of entertainment first, they can mix like a fish in water by relying on their face and figure, and in turn, they are often easy to attract some unkind eyes, just like the gossip and malicious speculation in the previous incident.

Chu Zihan has almost become accustomed to all kinds of eyes, and since then there has been no other driver in the family, and the scarce species of full-time female drivers is really hard to find, and the transportation for the Chu sisters' daily commuting has become two bicycles.

Looking at the weather, it was obvious that she couldn't ride a bicycle back, Chu Zihan opened her umbrella and walked into the rain, the water splashing on the soles of her shoes was sprinkled on her calves, and the rain slanted under the umbrella, leaving a cold face, like the Songkran Festival that year, the umbrella was banged, and there was always a feeling that it would be pierced in the next moment.

For no reason, I remembered my biological father's rough man's face, and I always smiled so happily, as if I hadn't been bothered at all. As a specialist in driving, he is easy to come in handy at this time, and he is also happy to come over to be a coachman for his daughter, but Chu Zihan will only dial his phone when necessary.

Today's rain is indeed very heavy, but it is not yet unacceptable, she would rather go back in the rain and get soaked than always ride in that person's car, her mother will be unhappy, and her stepfather will be even more unhappy.

The radio broadcast in the headset has been replaced by a music player, it is rare for a girl of this age to listen to the radio, Chu Zihan is using the news inside to understand the things around her, she rarely puts extra time on entertainment, and even now listening to music is a world classic like Singing In The Rain, because she can dance some dance and know the piano.

At that time, she hadn't learned kendo yet, and her parents felt that their daughter was missing the taste of a girl, so they arranged those courses for her, and the temperament she had when she grew up was largely related to what she had learned before. I think there are very few girls in this world, who are good at singing and dancing at the same time, and like swords, these things are mixed together, and they create a special Chu Zihan who is like a god and a man.

I’m singing in the rain,

Just singing in the rain,

What a glorious feeling,

I’m happy again,

I’m laughing at clouds,

So dark up above,

The sun’s in my heart,

And I’m ready for love.

The tune of that song doesn't really match someone like her, but walking in such a rain always reminds people of the clip I watched not long ago, she hummed in a low voice on a deserted path, which is probably the only time she is called cute, no one wants to disturb a beautiful girl humming alone in the rain, and the weather, which seems to be irritating to many people, has become particularly cheerful in her singing.

Kaolin Flower also has a girlish side, but often no one knows, just because she always has an expressionless face, so she thinks that she is a straight daughter who doesn't know how to be sweet and sour.

But Chu Zihan actually likes love things, otherwise she wouldn't sing love songs and read romance novels, but she can't understand why she likes someone and pays for life for this, so she can only look at the people around her and flip through the information to try to understand their psychology.

This is called being so mature that she skips certain stages of life, and a fifteen-year-old girl has the soul of an eighty-year-old monk in her heart, and looks at everything with a curious pedantic mentality. Chu Yu often said that if you don't try to wear glasses, the flat one, I think you only need a pair of black-framed glasses, and your temperament can change from being unapproachable to a cute female doctor with high attack and low imitation.

Outside of Shilan Middle School is a long promenade lined with plane trees, and although it is an aristocratic institution, like most schools, its location is not in the city center, it is relatively remote, and the bustle is all due to the shops surrounding the school. Today's rainstorm is like a note, the students don't have the idea of staying, they get into their cars and go back early, these shops don't have the heart to open in this weather, they all close their shops and go out, only Chu Zihan is alone on the long street, she is the last to leave the school.

It's quite a long way to walk back, but Chu Zihan doesn't care about the time spent on today's journey, she also has a little literary mood in her bones, and every rainy day she will feel extra comfortable, even if she walks in such a heavy rain, her whole body will get wet, which is also worth it for her.

When turning the corner, the music in the headphones just stopped, and automatically switched to the next one, and in the slowly unfolding low prelude, Chu Zihan heard an exceptionally heavy voice. It was someone's footsteps, like a tap dancer struggling on stage, pieces of metal from cowhide shoes beating against the wooden floor, making a sonorous melody.

But this is neither a theater nor a stage, and in the weather where the sound of rain falls is comparable to the sound of firecrackers, who would walk like this? So much so that footsteps can be louder than the sound of rain?

She looked back in surprise, but there was no figure behind her, the footsteps still ringing around her, and because of the heavy rain, she couldn't determine which direction it was coming from, but instinctively felt that it was close at hand.

Because she didn't see anyone, Chu Zihan thought that there was something wrong with her headphones, but when she took off the headphones, the sound was closer, it seemed to be beside her, and someone was dancing around her, but she couldn't see it.

Ghost? A chill welled up in her heart.

There are some so-called strange stories in every city, for example, it is often said in this city that on a stormy night, you see a mirage-like elevated road, rushing into the fog like a dragon, but you can't find the entrance to the elevated road. And every year or two, there will be an inexplicable heavy rain like today, all around is a sunny day, cumulonimbus clouds are piled up here to rain, every time this weather is always rumored, that in the middle of the night I saw a man with two knives slaying evil spirits, and the evil ghosts' terrible howls can shatter glass.

Chu Zihan has never believed in gods, Buddhas and ghosts, and is a staunch supporter of science, but what is happening at the moment is so weird that she has to wonder if her ears are sick at what time, it is said that the probability of abnormal hearing is not low, for most people, it will pass in a short time, and only a few people will exist for a long time.

A huge splash of water splashed at her feet, sprinkling her with sewage, as if she had just been hit by a cannonball, and Chu Zihan took a few steps back, her pupils dilated, because she had just seen a shadow! For a moment, at the place where the water exploded, a vague black shadow flashed in the vague darkness of the night, like a cloud of black fog that was scattered together, too fast to be caught with the naked eye, and if it weren't for the fact that it happened to be illuminated by a street lamp, there wouldn't even be the current moment at this moment.

One after another, the water splashed around Chu Zihan and exploded, each time accompanied by heavy footsteps, and an invisible person was happily jumping around her, dancing an evil sacrificial dance.

Chu Zihan didn't think about it, she threw away her umbrella and ran out hard, she was the champion of the women's track and field competition of Shilan Middle School, the gap between the second place and her was nearly half a circle, and her classmates said that she must be the first in the men's group, enough to participate in the municipal competition.

Something must have been eyeing her, but she couldn't see it, and there was no other choice but to escape.

The wind and rain were coming, the people who beat him could barely open their eyes, and countless explosions followed Chu Zihan's pace, and the water in the pond splashed higher and higher, so you can imagine how amazing the power of that invisible thing every time he stepped, the tires of the car driving at high speed would not have such great power, or that the speed of that thing was already faster than the car!

She was overtaken, and the water splashed at her in front of her, like a high-pressure gun spraying water. Chu Zihan had to put her hand into her satchel and take out a bright silver metal stick from it, and as she flicked her arm, the front end of the stick was retracted, the joints were fastened, and the length suddenly increased to no less than a bamboo knife.

Because she has grown so big, she has encountered all kinds of malice, Chu Zihan always has such a metal slinger in her bag, which can be used as a sword after opening, and the lack of blade is not a problem, her strength is enough, and every blow can bring a heavy blow to ordinary people.

Without any hesitation, the flicking stick hit directly in front of him, the thing was just fast, so fast that it was invisible, not some non-existent ghost, then there must be a possibility of being hit.

There was a heavy touch in the palm of her hand, she did hit something, it was a hazy black mist that was difficult to detect, even under the street light, it was just a light wisp, but when Chu Zihan hit her hard, the black mist slowly gathered, and the clearly visible humanoid silhouette slowly appeared as if the invisibility was lifted.

It was a human-like thing, although it had the general appearance of a human, but its body was covered with black scales, its face was no longer human-like, it was all rough like a rocky skin, and white mist rose when rain sprinkled on its body, and its arms were extraordinarily thick, with shapes that did not conform to the proportions of its body, and the end was not a human hand at all, but a predator's claw. Chu Zihan's flicker was stuck in the middle of her claws, she didn't hit, it was the other party who caught her attack.

I was roughly prepared in my heart, but I was still very frightened when I saw this kind of thing with my own eyes, and I almost forgot to breathe for a while, the eyes of that thing were actually golden, like two shiny light bulbs, occupying a considerable position on the face, looking like a person rather than a person, between the demon and the human form in various stories, it really can only be described as a ghost.

The evil ghost laughed lowly, its laughter was especially weird, like a night owl in the forest, the golden pupils slowly squirmed, looking at Chu Zihan recklessly, focusing on her waist, chest and legs, and the curves of each body.

This should be called a rape or something, that kind of sight is particularly uncomfortable, as if it just looked at itself, and it had already licked itself all over the place, which made people feel cold and want to vomit, Chu Zihan has not met disgusting people, but this guy is particularly outstanding.

Torrential rain, dead of night, there is still such a thing in this city, it really looks like a scene depicted in those urban legends, are all those rumors true?

"The case of the disappearance of July 18 is still unsolved, the victim girl has not been heard from for more than 168 hours, and the police have announced that there is little hope, but they will still try their best to search for it."

It is said that the girl just got out of the car and went to buy something on the opposite street, and the driver waited in the car for her to watch, and the big truck passed through the effort between the two people who cut off the field of vision, and the girl disappeared, and there is still no clue.

Chu Zihan instantly understood that the disappearance case was the work of the thing in front of him, it could hide and be dark like a black fog, and it was amazingly fast, so the police could not find any trace of the perpetrator, and the missing girl was likely to have suffered a misfortune.
