There is a considerable distance between the men's and girls' dormitories, and there is an asphalt road lined with maple trees in between.

When the autumn leaves fall, the road becomes a famous dating spot within the school.

At this time, as long as you don't sweep the maple leaves that fall for a while, the golden maple leaves that fall on the ground will block the asphalt road tightly, and at first glance this road is paved with maple leaves.

When someone steps on this road covered with maple leaves, one after another maple leaves will emit a crisp -

"Click-"

The wind brought up a lot of maple leaves, and the sound of hurried footsteps was amplified countless times in this quiet night, and the running students seemed to have something terrifying chasing her from behind.

As he ran, he looked back in a panic to see if the thing had caught up.

As soon as 10 o'clock is over, the lights in the teaching buildings and dormitories will be turned on, and the entire campus will only be lit by street lights on both sides of the road.

Every time Liu Xinmei turned around, she would see the glasses teacher with a long neck twisting a little closer to her. She didn't dare to relax in the slightest, clutching the black bag containing fireflies in her hand, and the speed on her feet increased.

I'll be in the dormitory right away.

Just go back to the dorm...

The first rule of the school is that you should stay in the dormitory between 10 p.m. and 6:30 a.m., otherwise you will bear the consequences.

No one knew what the consequences were, and Liu Xinmei didn't want to verify what the consequences would be if she violated this school rule, so she raced against time to catch fireflies.

But she apparently thought too much about the homework assigned by the teacher.

Not only does she have to catch a hundred fireflies that can only be lured out by blood before ten o'clock, but she also has to be on guard against her classmates during this time, so that they don't get caught as bait or push into a canal full of piranhas.

However, by the time she caught a hundred fireflies, it was too late.

The time had just arrived at ten o'clock, and Liu Xinmei, who had not had time to leave, knew the consequences of not returning to the dormitory after ten o'clock.

- It was the teachers who came to catch these students who violated the school rules.

Teachers who were normal during the day turned into monsters at night, chasing down their students who didn't follow the school rules.

A teacher with a longer neck, a teacher with dozens of hands and feet growing on his body, a teacher whose head explodes and turns into a man-eating flower...

Blood was sprinkled in the mud and on the crops next to it, attracting countless fireflies, making it easy for the new students who wanted to discredit and hide in the village's house to be found by the teacher.

Taking advantage of the fact that the teachers didn't notice her for a while, Liu Xinmei tied a dead knot with the plastic bag full of fireflies, and after making sure that the fireflies would not fly out, she pulled open the camouflage jacket and stuffed the plastic bag into her arms, used the coat to cover the fluorescent, and then fled into the school while the chaos was over.

She was just a second-level rookie, and she didn't have the ability to fight these ghosts at all, so instead of standing in place and waiting for death, she might as well fight for her own chance to survive and run desperately towards the dormitory.

Halfway through the run, a teacher caught up with him.

The long-necked teacher behind him is like a nimble snake, twisting his neck and shuttling between the street lights.

At first glance, it looks like a giant python with no tail wrapped around the street lamp on the side of the road, making people feel their scalp tingle just by looking at it.

"Ahh

The yellow maple leaves become very slippery with each other, and it is like walking on ice, and if you are not careful, you will slip and fall on it.

Liu Xinmei, who fell to the ground, scolded in her heart, holding her hand on the ground and wanted to stand up, but the maple leaf under her palm was also slippery.

Instead of standing up, the whole person fell on the leaves.

The sound of rustling came from behind, the long neck rubbed against the leaves and made a small sound, like a snake crawling towards Liu Xinmei, greedily staring at the food in front of him, and couldn't wait to swallow Liu Xinmei into his stomach.

Liu Xinmei, who was sitting on the ground, tried to stand up many times, but her palms slipped many times as if they were smeared with oil.

Ten meters.

Five meters.

One meter.

The distance is getting closer and closer, Liu Xinmei looks at the people getting closer and closer to her, and she is desperate.

Is she really going to die in this copy?

In just a few seconds, the memories of the past quickly flashed in Liu Xinmei's mind.

seemed to accept her fate, Liu Xinmei did not continue to struggle meaninglessly. She slowly closed her eyes, her trembling fingers revealing her fearful heart.

She's really... I don't want to die...

There's so much more she hasn't done...

With the support of his neck, the teacher's head slowly raised, and the corners of his mouth rose and cracked until the root of his ears, and when his mouth opened enough to swallow Liu Xinmei, Liu Xinmei, who closed her eyes and waited for death, could smell the rotten and fishy smell emanating from the teacher's mouth.

"Classmate, are you alright?"

A familiar voice came from not far away.

Liu Xinmei thought, this is her hallucination, right?

She didn't feel the pain from her body until a few seconds later, and when she realized that she was still alive, Liu Xinmei opened her eyes suddenly.

There is no teacher with a long neck like a snake.

Only Lin Ling, who was standing in front of her and bent over, looked at her worriedly.

That one... Lin Ling, who once thought she was a player.

Lin Ling, who was against the light, stood in front of Liu Xinmei, and the warm yellow light fell on Lin Ling's hanging hair, as if she was draped in a faint veil, making the already gentle Lin Ling look even more gentle.

It was so gentle that it seemed that the terrifying picture just now was just her illusion.

Liu Xinmei blinked her eyes sluggishly.

Lin Ling is still there, and he hasn't disappeared.

So she's a... Survived?

There was still a faint fishy smell lingering in the air, left by the glasses teacher.

Although I don't know why the glasses teacher suddenly disappeared, her inner intuition told Liu Xinmei that it was all because of Lin Ling.

It was Lin Ling who saved her.

One of the goblins saved her from the mouths of other goblins.

Somehow, Liu Xinmei, who realized this, had a strange emotion in her heart, and opened her mouth with a complicated mood and said, "Thank you." ”

With the help of Lin Ling, Liu Xinmei stood up and did not fall down again during the period.

On the way back, Liu Xinmei wanted to ask something several times, but in the end she didn't ask.

It wasn't until she returned to the dormitory building that Liu Xinmei asked the question she had been holding back all the way: "Did you see anything just now?" ”

"Huh?"

Lin Ling, who was walking beside Liu Xinmei, tilted his head, a little unclear, "What do you see?" ”

Lin Ling's reaction was not like seeing the glasses teacher chasing her.

"It's fine."

Something flashed through Liu Xinmei's mind, but she couldn't grasp it.

From Lin Ling's words, Liu Xinmei knew that the reason why Lin Ling appeared there was because she found a falling bird on the way back to the dormitory, and as soon as she returned the bird to the tree and walked out of the forest, she saw herself sitting on a leaf.

Thinking that something had happened to her, Lin Ling hurriedly ran forward.

Other than that, Lin Ling didn't see anything.

In other words, Lin Ling didn't see anything from beginning to end?

But why?

Why did the glasses teacher disappear as soon as Lin Ling appeared?

——

Small theater.

Teacher glasses: It's so dangerous, I was almost seen by Lin Ling that I looked ugly! It's good that I ran fast hehehe...
