Yan Jingxing sat in front of the window and made plans for his future.
Too many things happened recently, and he didn't even have time to calm down and sort out his thoughts.
——First of all, he must regard what he just dreamed as real, or at least as a symbol with some strong meaning.
There was no special reason, it was just Yan Jingxing's intuition, or he simply wanted to do this.
"We have all seen that kind of thing in reality. No matter how bizarre the development is, we shouldn't be surprised."
He thought to himself as he turned his pen.
Regarding the scene he saw in the dream, the most critical thing was obviously the two women; following through on his guess, Yan Jingxing believed that the real bodies of the two people were probably Ji Chunzao and Xie Yuzhi in their adult years.
After further consideration on this basis, an incredible conclusion will naturally emerge:
"...Uh, could it be said that I saw the future?"
And in that "future", they all seemed to have become very powerful people - this was also an intuition. After all, the duration of the picture was very short, and he only judged it from the atmosphere conveyed to him by the picture.
Yan Jingxing thought and recorded it on paper.
In short, the above guess was not only bold, but also full of his own arbitrary and conjecture, but he still decided to think in this direction.
"What should I do? Now that I have realized the dangers and unusual aspects of this world, and I know that there are people around me who can grow up in the future, the first thing to do is..."
The tip of the pen pressed hard against the paper.
"Just hug their thighs." He murmured, "Chun Zao's thighs are really easy to hug. Just keep our current friendship. But I'm not familiar with Xie Yuzhi's words at all."
Fortunately, Chun Zao knew her very well. And judging from Ji Chunzao's performance yesterday, the girl never gave up her plan to persuade her.
If the plan succeeds like this, the two parties will become familiar with each other.
"However, if it really takes a year or two for the 'Spirit Leech' to appear, isn't it a bit too long?"
After thinking about it, Yan Jingxing put the issue aside for the time being.
"Forget it, anyway, Xie Yuzhi in the dream does not look like she is graduating from junior high school; and if that is true, it means that sooner or later she will realize the true face of the world... don't be in a hurry."
In addition, Yan Jingxing also saw a black tower in his dream, as well as the astronaut he had seen before.
"What does that guy mean by not saying a word?"
There was insufficient information about the "astronaut" and he couldn't get an answer no matter how much he thought about it. He sighed and had no choice but to give up.
"The second thing is to find the tower."
This is the only clear guidance given by the mysterious astronaut.
But where is the black tower? On earth? The surrounding scenery really doesn't look like it, whether it's the strange fog lingering in the wilderness or the red lightning in the clouds...
Is it a different world, or an alien planet?
In short, it is not a place that I can go to now.
Thinking of this, Yan Jingxing thought of another thing:
——Are the so-called alien creatures really alien creatures?
No, of course he does not doubt the existence of supernatural creatures. The problem is that they may not come from aliens, such as some kind of ghosts, or creatures from another world. Why does Ji Chunzao believe that it must be "alien life"?
"Well, that's a question worth considering."
Yan Jingxing raised his head and saw that the color of the sky was gradually getting brighter. The rising sun rises from the east and spreads its morning rays to every corner of the seaside town.
A new day has begun.
"Let's discuss it with Chun Zao." He quickly made up his mind.
*
Arriving at the classroom, the first thing Yan Jingxing did after putting down his schoolbag was to walk to the back row, but there was no one in Ji Chunzao's seat.
At this time, a petite figure with a strong wind flew into the classroom and almost bumped into him.
"Chun Zao...? What's wrong with you?"
He looked at her a little doubtfully.
"By the way, you came just in time. I have a question for you. Why do you think the things you saw are from aliens?"
Ji Chunzao opened his bright eyes, as if saying, "What are you asking?"
"Aliens are aliens. You can tell at a glance. Are there any other possibilities?"
...An answer that really fits her style.
Speaking of which, Chun Zao seems to have mentioned that she doesn't believe in the existence of ghosts and "must believe in science" or something like that...
"lets change a topic!"
The girl grabbed the boy's sleeve. She deliberately suppressed her voice, but she could still hear the impatience in his tone.
"They're here again!"
"ah?"
"It's spirit leeches! They appeared again, near the center of the town, in the same place as last time!"
"Didn't you say last time that it would only be possible after one or two years?"
"I...I don't know..." She shook her head, the expression on her face showed confusion, "I have only met three times in total, and the time between them is measured in years..."
Could it be a recent change? Yan Jingxing thought to himself that the sample size was too small to say there was any pattern.
"Anyway, let's go together after school!"
Ji Chunzao's voice was so loud that almost everyone in the class could hear it. At this time, it was inevitable that someone would look at them with strange eyes.
However, now Yan Jingxing has gradually begun to get used to this kind of thing.
*
After school, as the sky grew dark, Yan Jingxing once again came to the commercial street in the center of Baiyue Town.
This time I went out of school with Ji Chunzao.
"Speaking of which, if it's not until the weekend, the captain should still be in the dormitory instead of the cram school. Even if he sees the 'spiritual leeches' attacking humans, your method won't be useful."
"No, she is here." Ji Chunzao shook his head. "I specifically went to her class to ask. Although Yuzhi is a residential student, she has to come to the town to attend cram school after class every day. She also specifically applied to the school for this."
"She is really hardworking." Yan Jingxing was quite emotional. When he was in school in the city, he had a classmate like this. All after-school time and holidays were filled with all kinds of extracurricular tutoring, and he became a learning machine.
"I mean, it's hard to imagine."
The two secretly found an alley opposite and hid behind an unobtrusive telephone pole, just in time to keep an eye on the gray three-story building not far away. This time they were really monitoring it.
"What are you going to do?"
"As soon as the 'spiritual leech' arrives, I will rush out and pull her out."
Ji Chunzao clenched his fists and was very confident.
"This...are you going to use such strong tactics? Can you do it?"
"I may not be able to do it alone, but don't I have you?" The little girl said with a smile, "You are a boy, so you are not as strong as her."
Yan Jingxing was a little speechless. Want me to attack girls? It's a shame you figured it out.
"That's not the problem. Remember her driver, right? He might be watching over here."
"...!"
Ji Chunzao's expression suddenly froze, and he managed to regain his composure, and said in a panic:
"Then, then take plan B! As soon as the 'leeches' appear, I will run in to find Yuzhi and persuade her to come out!"
Decisiveness was changed to persuasion.
"You'd better be really articulate."
"If she refuses to come out with me, I will... I will kneel down and hug her thighs, and plead with her in front of everyone with snot and tears." With a slight snort, the long-haired girl's expression changed. He regained his confidence and said, "In this way, Xie Yuzhi will have to be obedient even if he wants to stop me from continuing to make trouble."
You are really a talent for being so proud of your behavior in public.
Yan Jingxing couldn't help but sigh.
Most people may not be able to do this kind of thing, especially junior high school students with sensitive self-esteem. Among them, girls with thinner skin are absolutely impossible to do it.
But Ji Chunzao is obviously "out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements". Maybe she can really do it...
If things really come to that point, it would be better for me to stop her.
"Wait, look! There seems to be another strange person coming in over there."
Yan Jingxing, who was deep in thought, raised his head and looked at the entrance of the cram school in the direction she pointed. There was a figure walking slowly down the corridor.
The middle-aged man staggered, his body swaying, and there was an indescribable weirdness in his slow and stiff movements.
that is not……
The middle-aged man with bald hair had a subtle sense of familiarity in his eyes.
"Jing Xing, don't you think this person looks familiar?"
"It looks familiar. I've seen it somewhere."
He touched his chin. As a junior high school student who studies hard, his life is nothing more than two points at school and one line at home. Recently, he has been staying with Chun Zao on his days off. Apart from here, the places he has been to are actually very limited.
"——Ah, by the way, it's the one in the cinema..."
"—The one attacked by leeches!"
Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao thought of this person at the same time. The young people looked at each other, and their expressions became serious.
"There's something I forgot to ask you all this time."
Yan Jingxing asked.
"You told me at the time that you wanted me to see the evidence of being attacked by aliens, but we came out of the theater directly that day and didn't see what happened next... So, those whose brains were eaten by spiritual leeches What will become of those people?”
Ji Chunzao bit her thumb, with a slight fear in her expression.
"He will become confused, insane, and finally... die."
"have you seen?"
"No, I asked specifically after it was confirmed for the first time that someone was attacked by alien creatures. Even if the 'leeches' were killed by astronauts on the spot in the cinema, the result of the attack on the victim did not change. All of this After a few days, no matter how you look at it, it’s time to die..."
"Even if you don't die, according to common sense, brain loss will definitely lead to mental disorder, right?"
Yan Jingxing frowned and analyzed.
"After his family noticed something was wrong, shouldn't they keep him at home or send him to the hospital? At least he wouldn't be able to roam the streets like that."
What's more, the man also walked into the classroom where the cram school was located. Coincidence or not, they couldn't ignore it.
The situation... seems a little not right.
"Want to go in?"
He asked his friend's opinion in a low voice.
"Get in!"
Ji Chunzao gritted his teeth and said.
…
The two cautiously walked into the doorway with the words "Qile Education Center" hanging on it.
This cram school has several teachers, and teachers and students come and go in the corridor from time to time. Fortunately, they were all junior high school students of similar age, and they were all from experimental middle schools, so they were not conspicuous.
No one noticed that two people who were not students at all walked in.
but……
"Where is that person?"
After walking around the corridor, they found no sign of the guy.
The middle-aged man's appearance is very conspicuous, so they can't miss him. But after entering the building, the other party seemed to disappear out of thin air.
"Did he go to the classroom or office?"
Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao peeked in from the window secretly, and were almost discovered by Xie Yuzhi who was sitting in one of the classes. Finally, they came to the room at the far end of the corridor.
This is the office. They were about to push open the door and peek inside, then——
The door opened.
A familiar figure stood at the door holding a glass thermos.
It's Teacher Gao.
She frowned and looked at the two of them. It was of course impossible for her not to recognize the students in her class.
During the school day, he was invited out by a girl from his class to go shopping together, but he was bumped into by his class teacher, and his guardian was a teacher who lived in the same office as the class teacher...
Yan Jingxing couldn't help but feel like he had a black eye. This was completely different from convincing his uncle to let him go out to play on weekends. By the way, he also heard the nervous sound of the girl beside him swallowing her saliva.
"What are you two doing here? Forget it, first..."
Teacher Gao pressed his knuckles between his eyebrows, looking both angry and tired.
"Now wait here, I have guests to entertain. I have something to say to you later."
After that, she turned around and went back.
At this time, they both saw -
The man who was attacked by "spiritual leeches" and whose brains should have been eaten was sitting quietly on a chair in the office.
He seemed to notice the eyes of the boy and girl, and turned his head this way stiffly, with strands of sparse hair hanging on his forehead. Cloudy and lifeless pupils were embedded in the bluish-white swollen face, and the corners of his mouth were raised in a weird arc.
