After thinking of this incident, Zhou Yu paid attention to Zhang Mumu for the first time. He suddenly asked: "Classmate Zhang, do you have many friends?"
Zhang Mumu replied proudly: "There are so many! They are all in the class."
"No, I mean that kind of particularly important friend. Like... like someone you are willing to risk your life to save."
"Well...that's Ah Wei, Sister Su Su, Da Bin..." She counted five or six names on her fingers, "That's probably them."
"Not without me."
"Hey, it's because I've known Classmate Zhou for a short time. But we are very compatible, and we will become good friends over time." Zhang Mumu said with inexplicable confidence.
"Are you compatible? I don't think so."
"Classmate Zhou is very mysterious. It will be very interesting to become friends! Besides, Classmate Zhou seems to be lonely. He needs care to grow up."
"Thank you very much. But I don't need to grow anymore. This height is quite enough for me."
"It's enough for me!" Zhang Mumu followed as if he was a little angry.
Zhou Yu smiled again and did not continue talking. Zhang Mumu also muttered and took out his mobile phone to chat with others. It wasn't until the two got off the bus that she asked belatedly: "Where are we going?"
"I'm going to Orshall Road, but you'd better go home."
"Ah, I want to go too!"
"Can your parents explain it to you?"
"No problem! I'm going to sleep at Awei's house tonight! Awei will testify for me! Do it now!"
Zhou Yu was speechless. In his initial impression, Zhang's father and mother were both very ordinary parents. They were hospitable to guests and cared about their daughter's classmates. He did not expect that they would be so careless about their daughter's private life.
Finally, he sighed: "Everything you do tonight must be obeyed by me, can you do it?"
Zhang Mumu nodded vigorously. Zhou Yu glanced at her suspiciously. Although she didn't trust her very much, she didn't intend to pursue her further.
After walking out of the subway station, they came to Hongsen Square again. It’s almost New Year’s Day, and the square is covered with festive decorations. The lantern-shaped hanging lamp emits clouds of vermilion, and the bright and warm colors make the stars and moon dim. Passers-by are surrounded by dazzling lights. Even if they look up high, the night sky they see is faintly crimson.
Witnessing such a sight, his blood began to heat up.
"Let's go. Take a look around Osle Road."
Zhang Mumu followed him without resistance. When he reached a remote place with few pedestrians, he suddenly asked as if remembering: "Classmate Zhou, what are we doing here?"
"kill you."
"Eh? Really?"
"I lied to you. Come and find the person who saved you."
Zhang Mumu let out a small "ha" in confusion. Without waiting for her to ask, Zhou Yu continued consciously: "After she dropped you off at the subway station, she asked you not to come to this area again. I think she might have some connection with Aorsle Road. As long as you are here If you stay a few more times, you might meet her again."
Zhang Mumu nodded in understanding. Seeing her appearance, Zhou Yu felt confused. The clue he relied on was just one sentence, and in fact he wasn't even sure at all. Does the other party really have anything to do with Osler Road? The "come" mentioned by the scooter rider may have covered the entire Hongsen business district.
Although the bustling areas in the center are safe even at midnight, there is no need to stress that you cannot go there, but how accurate can a casual warning to a stranger be?
"...Even if you really live in this area, you may not be able to meet him."
He murmured words. After hearing this, Zhang Mumu tilted his head and looked at him and said, "Does Classmate Zhou really want to find her?"
"You do not want it?"
"I think so, but it doesn't matter if I can't find her. Is there a very important reason for Mr. Zhou to work so hard to find her?"
"...Yes. I think only when I see this person appear in front of me can I feel completely at ease."
Zhou Yu smiled briefly and then said, "I really want to see how similar she is to me... But if we really find her, it would be better for Zhang to stay away from her."
"Eh? Why?"
"Classmate Zhang, I'd like to emphasize again that no one in their right mind would run around with a one-meter-long controlled knife. Even if she saves you once, it doesn't mean she doesn't pose a threat to you."
"But Mr. Zhang, you also carry a knife with you."
"...Those are two different things...A weapon that cannot be detected is not a weapon."
Zhou Yu answered casually. Lower your head and walk slowly along the edge of the road. Under the moonlight, the cement floor exudes a metallic luster, which makes people feel dizzy after looking at it for a long time. Looking up, the road stretches flatly, like a conveyor belt in a factory, leading directly to high and low iron square boxes. The entire city is like a miniature model assembled from metal parts.
After staring for too long, a layer of rippling black streaks appeared in the field of vision, like looking down at the reflection on the waves.
Zhou Yu shook his head in a daze and staggered around drunkenly.
He suddenly felt that the city in front of him had no sense of reality.
Zhang Mumu was still saying something beside him, but it was as if he could not hear clearly through a thick layer of glass. His spirit was floating, as if he was gradually leaving his body, overlooking the entire city from the clouds.
This city is an isolated island.
In the boundless, abyss-like darkness, only this city floats above it, emitting a halo of stars, and is a distant, silent light. The buildings and streets are as detailed as miniature sculptures, with residents and vehicles flowing among them. This miniature sculpture is extremely exquisite, like a bionic bottle without a shell.
Under the foundation of the city, there is nothingness. The whole city rises and falls with the invisible tide of darkness, swaying alone in a chaotic dream.
...This is such a lonely scenery.
He whispered silently.
At that moment, overlooking the city, he saw "destiny".
A bright comet streaked across the dark road in the city. "She" is riding a bike chasing her prey. During the chase, the vehicle's taillights drew a long bright line.
Ahead of her, a group of people ran on all fours. They looked like dogs and beasts, skillfully weaving through the shadows of the streets.
The female riders chased these "orcs" around the periphery of the Hongsen Business District, gradually approaching Ausle Road. There, two young women he knew very well were walking away in opposite directions.
……Opposite Direction!
Zhou Yu suddenly stretched out his invisible hand, and his consciousness fell towards the ground.
"...Classmate Zhou?"
Zhang Mumu, who had been following him, asked. Without answering her, Zhou Yu grabbed her wrist, turned around and ran back. He had no time to think more.
"This way!"
The two began running wildly down the street. The funny thing is that Zhou Yu led Zhang Mumu at first, but after a hundred meters, it was Zhang Mumu who was able to rush ahead with ease. And while running, she shouted inexplicably: "Classmate Zhou! Why are we running?"
Zhou Yu couldn't answer. The signal lights at the intersection gradually enlarged, and he silently put his hand into his pocket.
Zhang Mumu turned back to look at him.
At that moment, a group of shadows running on all fours shot out from the corner of the road. Four shadows ran straight forward, and one of them turned sharply and rushed straight towards the two of them.
The shadow roughly resembled a humanoid shape, but its fingers were twenty centimeters long, with its halberd spread out fiercely. "It" howled and pounced on the two of them with its sharp "claws".
Zhou Yu pushed Zhang Mumu away and took a small step forward. A dark shadow fell on his face.
——Click.
The blade popped out and slashed diagonally from bottom to top quickly. On the shadow's neck, the skin and flesh were smoothly cut open.
At the moment when his flesh and blood were torn apart, he felt a burst of unreasonable ecstasy.
