Act Three: Encounter with Alienation Again
Twilight trots home, and her father and mother are cleaning a breakfast cart, presumably as a means of making a living for the past few years.
"Dad, Dad. The sound of the washing water was too loud for Xiao's father to hear.
"Dad, Xiao, old man!" Twilight increased the decibels, but no one responded.
"Lao Xiao, can't you hear it so loudly!"
Twilight was a little impatient, "Old thing!!!" At this time, my father suddenly turned off the water, and these three words, word by word, echoed loudly in the community.
The corners of Xiao's father's mouth rose slightly, the corners of his eyes smiled evilly, neatly and simply dropped the rag in his hand, clenched the water pipe heavily, and said murderously, "May I ask if this eldest brother is calling Xiao?"
Twilight took a few steps back: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, hero's life." ”
"Misunderstanding, wait until I've washed you and peeled you, and then I'll tell you a misunderstanding. As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao's father picked up the water hose and sprayed it at Twilight.
Twilight dodges the jet of the faucet and warns of his father's approach, knowing that his father's madness will fix him.
"Hero, hero. Calm down, I'll just say casually, you adults have a lot of don't take it seriously. You're not old, you're not a thing, I just called myself!"
"You're not scolding me for something?" the father's eyes changed, and he threw the water pipe out, and the water pipe immediately sprayed everywhere irregularly.
Twilight couldn't dodge her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, her father was already in front of her.
Father Xiao calmly put his hand on Twilight's shoulder and said softly, "Suffer death, evil animal." ”
Twilight was clever and rolled over, and Father Xiao rushed forward to give him a kick. Twilight blocked the kick in the air with both hands, but the force made him a little embarrassed when he landed.
Xiao's father didn't intend to stop there, and after a series of moves, Twilight Shadow retreated.
Twilight knew that she was invincible, and she ran behind her mother before she had suffered a big loss.
Mother was accustomed to seeing the serious child's play between father and son, so she only shook her head and smiled on the side, and kept washing the breakfast cart in her hands. Until Twilight hides behind her, she stops Xiao's father.
"Red Lotus, don't be too short. You see that this kid looks like he is under-disciplined, let me loosen his bones for him today. Father Xiao's eyes were fixed on Twilight.
"Mom, you have to save me. Twilight's scalp was numb, and she hid behind Red Lotus and didn't come out.
Red Lotus turned sideways to separate the father and son, and then gently patted Twilight, "Who made you so rude to talk about the elders." ”
Twilight made a very aggrieved expression, "I just shouted for a long time and didn't respond, I was in a hurry, and I screamed randomly." I was wrong and I promise no next time. ”
"Red Lotus is good, just give him to me, ahahahaha. Xiao's father got carried away and let out an exaggerated weird smile, which was completely not what a father should be.
Honglian looked at Xiao's father with a disgusted expression: "You are no better, you see that your father is a father, and he will do it with his son at every turn." ”
"That's it, tiger venom doesn't eat children?" Twilight interjected.
"Cut, what is a tiger, I'm a human, much more poisonous than a tiger. Father Xiao replied disdainfully.
"There are so many things going on today, and there is still time to make trouble. They all came over and did things for me. Xiao's mother deliberately protected her shortcomings, and deliberately changed the topic to end the farce.
Father Xiao pretended to be obedient and grabbed Twilight's ear as he walked over.
"You are cheating, you are a dignified seven-foot man, how can you use such despicable means, we have the ability to compete fairly. "Twilight was attacked by her father, and she was unwilling.
"Did you beat me in a fair fight?"
"If you can't beat it, it's also Guan Rong's duel. Why don't you dare? ”
"Cut, I don't care if it's about Rong or not, just win. ”
Before the words were finished, Honglian grabbed Xiao's father's ear with her backhand: "Brother Xiao, why should we educate our son like this?"
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I'll let it go, you tap, my ears are very precious. Father Xiao confessed and let Twilight Shadow go.
Twilight covered her ears and snickered, and Red Lotus took Twilight's other ear in her hand. "What are you laughing at, I'll help your father treat you one day. ”
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and the happiness of frolicking was self-evident.
Moments later, Twilight tells her parents about her school adventures. My mother was about to speak, but my father stopped her.
Father Xiao suppressed his smile and said earnestly, "Twilight, you have grown up, it is time to see the world, you remember that no matter what you see, existence is the truth." Father wanted to say all this, but he was still a little uneasy, and warned a few words: "Twilight, the road is all on your own, I can avoid some bumps for you, but that is not conducive to your growth, you can solve problems in the future, and then come to me to discuss when you are puzzled or have a major choice." ”
A father's love is like a mountain. No matter how frivolous it seems, when the childish father Xiao was named his father, he was also deeply loving. The name of his father makes a man strong and weak, and Twilight has never seen an omnipotent and fearless father look terrified when he is in danger. At the same time, Twilight's will is extremely strong, "Even for the sake of my father, for the sake of my family, I must figure this out, and I must grow up to be a person who stands up to the sky."
The time spent waiting for admission has passed in a blink of an eye, and today is the entrance ceremony with great momentum. The entire street, both sidewalks and roadways, was crowded with people.
Students flock to the school from all directions in a noisy and orderly manner, and parents are vying to occupy a "vantage point" to catch a glimpse of the school's prosperity.
Twilight followed the crowd slowly, and as she passed the bulletin board, she deliberately glanced at the admission list that had "suffocated" him, but this time there was nothing out of the ordinary.
The school held a grand opening ceremony, after the conference, each class teacher and military training instructor walked into their respective classes in a group of two. Students who were late were denied entry into the classroom and stood in the hallway. Even though it was the first day of school, the rules were not indulgent at all, demonstrating the school's rigorous approach to learning.
The first meeting at the beginning of the school year was not as happy as Twilight had imagined, and the head teacher's speech ended in less than 5 minutes, followed by a military training mobilization meeting. This move caught everyone off guard, and there were endless complaints.
It is not uncommon for the head teacher to threaten that any student who is judged to be a failure by the instructor will be dismissed from the school. Whoever dares to disobey such an order, the students are all like aggrieved daughters-in-law, who can say what they can and delay things if they can.
The military training mobilization meeting also took only 15 minutes, and then the training began directly. Most of the classmates who were trained were pampered, and many of them had never even touched household chores. One percent of those who were criticized for being physically abnormal in the morning were allowed to take leave, and at the end of the whole day's training, three percent of the students took leave for various reasons.
Even so, the school still did not reduce the intensity and asked to start the next day.
The next day was fine during the day, nothing unusual. In the evening, the instructor called an emergency assembly for the night, as usual. Due to the large number of people in the school, many teams have been placed in a corner that they don't usually visit, and Twilight's team is one of them.
The terrain is on the high side, the trees are lined with trees, the north is the student dormitory being renovated, the east is surrounded by a concrete fence, the west is the hill behind the school, and only the south is the Lutong teaching building.
The instructor was admonishing after gathering, when suddenly his voice stopped abruptly. Twilight looked at it, and the instructor was covered in cold sweat, his eyes were frightened, but his body was motionless.
"Is this what happened to me that day?" Twilight thought to herself, but she wasn't sure.
After two minutes of silence, the students slowly noticed the anomaly, and they approached the instructor to find that the instructor had a painful expression and a stiff body, but he never said a word.
Twilight finally couldn't hold it anymore and hurriedly remembered how she had escaped. "There's a bright light on my chest during the stalemate," Twilight pressed to her chest. It was a family heirloom left to him by his father.
Twilight placed the pendant in the palm of her hand, squeezed into the crowd in a few strides, covered it with her hand, pressed it against the instructor's heart, and shouted vigorously, "Wake up, wake up." ”
The instructor did not improve in the slightest, but on the contrary, the bruises on his head and neck burst out more and more.
Twilight panicked, shaking desperately, when suddenly the instructor snorted, gasping for air.
Everyone didn't know what to do, and they made a mess around the instructor. After a few moments, the instructor regained consciousness and gasped desperately. Everyone asked, but the instructor only shouted: "All disbanded." Without saying a word, he left in a hurry.
Such a strange phenomenon made everyone more and more panicked, and the haunting was said one after another, and the more everyone thought about it, the more afraid they became, and they left quickly.
Twilight looked at the pendant in her hand and pondered, "This pendant may not be the solution at all, I thought I had something to save my life, but now I can only rely on myself." ”
There are fewer and fewer people, and Twilight prepares to leave, but when she looks up and finds the street on the other side of the street brightly lit, Twilight can't help but climb up the wall with curiosity.
"I see, although this place looks very remote, it is actually on the side of the street, and it is only because it is high and surrounded by a wall, and you can't see anything, so it feels very remote. Actually, this location is in the school's ...... "Twilight proofreads the direction and suddenly startles", and this wall is actually the wall above the bulletin board. ”
Twilight's fear doubled at the thought of this, and she no longer had the courage to stay. He hurriedly jumped off the wall, but was disrupted by a bulge, and stumbled as a white noose slowly fell from the tree beside him.
The noose floated towards Twilight's neck, and Twilight subconsciously blocked it with her hand, but when she stretched out her hand, she couldn't touch anything, and the noose continued to approach unhurriedly.
Twilight turned around and tried to run, but her foot tripped over something, and when she looked down, she saw that her foot had become entangled in the roots of the tree several times.
Twilight didn't know where she got the strength, and she desperately tore at the roots, and the roots were easily cleared. Twilight ran down the slope in a few frantic steps, and was slightly relieved to see herself running away, and a cold sweat broke out when she turned around.
The tree was still behind him, and he was still on the slope, breaking free from the roots and running down the slope as if he was imagining, and he was not moving at all.
Twilight doesn't care to think, so she runs away, not resting or looking back. Originally, you could run down the slope for more than 10 meters, and you could see the classroom when you turned a corner. You can run down the slope, turn the corner, and it's the same downhill.
Twilight Shadow was shocked and didn't dare to turn back, so she continued to run down, and around the corner, it was an identical downhill slope.
Twilight unconsciously turned back, the tree behind her, and the white noose was close at hand.
Twilight's adrenal glands are fueled by extreme fear, and Twilight is furious, yelling "I don't believe it anymore." With one hand in his hand, he turned over to the outside of the wall without protection, a height of more than ten meters, and Twilight did not hesitate.
As a result, the landing should have been a bluestone road, but it was extremely soft when it fell, and when I looked closely, it was still in the original position.
"It's an illusion, it's an illusion, you can't do anything to me, you can't!" Twilight said as she couldn't do anything to comfort herself.
"Who said it was just an illusion!" a voice came from the tree, and the noose put on a ghostly smile, and then the tree actually separated its jagged eyes and mouth from the trunk, and the main branch also divided into two huge hands, teeth and claws, which were very terrifying.
The tree binds Twilight with its roots and kneades its branches into sharp spears, stabbing Twilight with all its might.
Twilight only muttered in her mind, "It can't hurt me, it can't hurt me, it can't be, ah!!!."
Twilight watched as the branches pierced her chest, the pain and suffocation that made him realize that he had been killed, and a moment later Twilight lost consciousness in despair.
However, after falling unconscious, Twilight suddenly woke up, gasping desperately, and after a brief recovery of consciousness, she found that her "corpse" was pierced in the air by a tree branch, and then the pain and suffocation hit again, and a moment later she passed out again.
A few minutes later, Twilight woke up again in a big pant, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that her "corpse" had been divided into several sections, and a branch was carrying her head in the air, quietly admiring the "corpse of the tree". The pain and suffocation were still there, but Twilight had realized something.
"You're too fake. Even if I'm a little strong, I'll be damned," Twilight said with a smile as she regained consciousness.
At this moment, the vision suddenly became as hazy as a mist, but it was restored in an instant.
Twilight noticed the clue and felt that the feeling of suffocation was like breathlessness when overstrained. Twilight simply closed his eyes, no longer caring about what he felt, just relaxing his nerves to adjust his breathing, slowly, slowly, breathing more and more smoothly, and the pain was much less.
"Your acting skills are terrible" Twilight opened her eyes and smiled disdainfully.
The big tree was completely enraged, and attacked Twilight like crazy, but Twilight just didn't hide at all, and when it was really uncomfortable, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, and after a few times, the big tree could not do any more damage except to torture Twilight's "body" in a different way.
"There's nothing to be done, Zhang Yuan!"
As soon as Zhang Yuan's name came out, the big tree began to grow smaller and shorter, transforming into a human form. This man was short and thin, with a blue face, a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a very weak scholar.
"How do you know it's me. ”
"I guess, a few days ago on the bulletin board, I couldn't breathe when you tortured me with your name, and this time, although it was replaced by a big tree attack, it had the same effect, plus I heard a little rumor about your death. Isn't that a hard way to tell?" Twilight explained triumphantly and continued, "But seriously, I don't really understand. What kind of grudge do you have that you want me to die?"
"All people with bad grades are not qualified to set foot here, this is the place I dream of, I can't get in, and no one with worse grades than me can come in, no one can. ”
"You!" Twilight was surprised at first, then a little angry, and was about to get angry when pity welled up in her heart, "Actually, I can understand your feelings, it's just that your behavior is too immature, can we talk." It's like a friend. ”
"No, I don't need friends, you study so badly, and you don't qualify to be friends with me. People like you don't deserve anything but death, and I just want you to die. After speaking, Zhang Yuan's body conjured a big mouth and swallowed Twilight directly.
"The tricks I've played don't work for me. Twilight watched as she watched calmly as she waved her hand and said, "Look, I didn't even feel suffocated this time." ”
The big mouth quickly subsided, returning to a thin, weak human posture.
"Okay, there's no way out for you like this, tell me what happened to you, I really want to talk to you. ”
"No, no, you're not qualified, you're not qualified! Even if I can't kill you, I can trap you, as long as I'm still here, you'll be trapped here forever, forever!
"Oh, your uncle. Lao Tzu wants to help you, but you are still stubborn. If you want to kill me, you have to have that ability. Twilight was furious and stopped persuading.
However, the truth is as Zhang Yuan said, no matter what method Twilight takes, no matter how long she runs, she will always be frozen on this small hillside.
Twilight gave up on the senseless escape and began to reason, "How the hell did he manage to keep me in one place, making the same environment infinitely? Is that affecting my nervous system?"
Twilight pinched herself coldly, and sure enough, she didn't feel it, "It's over, it's over, he can affect my nerves, how can I play with this." Suddenly I thought, "No, if he could really interfere with my nerves, he should have made me kill myself when I jumped over the wall." The reason why he couldn't do anything about me was because he couldn't interfere with my nerves, and he could only cause nervous tension by creating brain hallucinations and causing a sense of oppression. ”
Twilight was overjoyed, "If my guess is correct, I'm still standing there like an instructor." It's like I'm watching an immersive movie here. Then the way out is ......"
Twilight closed her eyes at the thought of this. Put all your attention on your feelings,
No matter what Zhang Yuan conjure, he didn't pay attention to it, and slowly Zhang Yuan faded from his mind, and Twilight felt a chill on his body.
"That's the autumn wind!" and then he focused his whole body on one finger, constantly trying, and constantly feeling. Gradually, he felt his fingers hold on to something, and then tried to pull his fingers, his palm loosened, and his arm shook, and then a force swept through his body. Twilight is back to reality.
I felt a cool breeze on my body, a downhill road in front of me, and a training whistle in my ears. Twilight looked back happily, but it was still Zhang Yuan, and he looked at Twilight with a fierce look and slowly floated towards the canopy.
"Why, why still haven't you gone out. Twilight punches the tree in despair. Suddenly, the skin and flesh opened, and the blood flowed.
"I'll go, I'll go! Twilight looked at the bleeding hands and suddenly became happy, "Have I come back, it's good that Lao Tzu didn't jump off the building!"
Twilight looked in Zhang Yuan's direction again, and indeed his ghost slowly drifted towards the canopy and then into the tree.
"Can you see ghosts in the real world, this seems to be not very scientific. Twilight teased herself, "Oh, forget it, I guess I can't handle it, let's go back first, it will kill me." ”
With that, Twilight quickly ran back to the classroom, and after he left, Shen Xin and Lin Chi also came down the slope, and they hid in the shadows at the beginning of the uproar, witnessing everything that happened.
