012/Qiliu
Xun Yu nodded sharply.
He looked particularly excited, his face flushed slightly: "I have been waiting for you in the hospital for a few days, but they didn't let me see you. I heard that you were discharged from the hospital today, so I came here. I originally wanted to wait for you for the first time. I’m going out in two days, Yingzhou, I——”
Xun Yu took a step forward, then stopped abruptly.
Because Yingzhou took a step back, his expression full of scrutiny and caution.
In fact, due to alienation, Xun Yu's nose is far sharper than normal people, and he doesn't need deep sleep.
He is very familiar with the smell of Yingzhou. It stands to reason that he should wake up when Yingzhou appears nearby, but until now, Yingzhou in front of him has no smell.
Everyone has a taste. When a person's temperature slightly roasts the oil in his body, there will be an odor that is difficult to smell, but animals will detect.
Scientific research also shows that in many cases of love at first sight, the nose has already made the choice before the eyes capture each other.
And Yingzhou smells too clean now. It's like a layer of plastic wrap covering the body, locking in all the breath.
Xun Yu originally wanted to try Ying Zhou to see if it was an illusion. After all, there are many types of mental pollution hazards.
But the action of winning Zhou made him feel certain.
He was too familiar with Yingzhou, Xun Yu's eyes always followed him, and he knew very well what Yingzhou's subconscious reaction would be.
Such as now. Yingzhou's knuckles were clenching the handle of the umbrella with slight force. His eyebrows looked peaceful, but in fact he was just controlling them not to frown.
Xun Yu's nose was sore and she resisted the urge to cry: "Hello, my name is Xun Yu.
"Hello. Yingzhou." Yingzhou thought for a moment, "Did you also have that precognitive dream?"
Yuan Wenxin said before that there was a high probability that he was not the only one who had had precognitive dreams.
Xun Yu asked back: "Who told you that? Yuan Wenxin?"
"Um."
Xun Yu gritted his teeth: "I know this dog official is not a good person! But it's not bad, he can barely be considered a thing...!"
He was standing still, spinning around in a somewhat stereotyped manner.
"I'm not sure if it was a precognitive dream. I think it was rebirth. Because as a dream, the experience inside is too real. But I died relatively early and I don't know what happened next."
Yingzhou combined the information given by Yuan Wenxin and tried to analyze what he said: "I probably understand that you are all reborn. Yuan Wenxin found me and said that I would destroy the world in the future. He probably wanted to supervise me. You will kill me at any time if necessary. What about you? What is your purpose?"
The small lamp hanging at the door suddenly went out at this moment.
This is normal. There are no properties in the old community, and water and electricity meters have to be read door to door. This light bulb has been hanging for a long time and no one has replaced it. It should have died long ago. It's a miracle that I can persist until now, the tungsten wire may burn out at any time.
Then Yingzhou discovered that Xun Yu's eyes actually reflected light at night. The dark eyes that looked dark during the day reflected a strange laser purple color at this time.
He blinked, covering his glowing pupils with his nictitating membrane.
"I want to be by your side." Xun Yu replied in the darkness, "If anyone wants to hurt you, I will be responsible for getting rid of them until the day you no longer need me."
Yingzhou was silent for a long time.
His current mood felt a little funny.
A week ago, he was in a normal world. He is still an ordinary high school senior, preparing for the college entrance examination. The biggest anxiety is whether I can get the top prize in the provincial examination.
This is related to whether he can receive a scholarship from the school. With this scholarship, he doesn't have to work-study in college and can have more energy to apply for prestigious foreign schools.
Then overnight, the world changed. The head teacher who had taught him for three years died in front of him. The mental young man who had been bullying was possessed by some evil, and then disappeared quietly. His school is closed. His mother was parasitized and had no choice but to get on a plane and go to a specialized research institute.
Then a bunch of people came to tell him that your world is experiencing a strange resurgence and will soon be over.
The things you pursue, academic qualifications, social recognition, a superior job, and a decent life, will all become worthless garbage. They have no meaning in the face of the strange resurgence.
Stop learning. Everything you are doing now is a waste of time. Why not study your own powers and see how to save your life in future disasters.
So funny.
If the world is going to restart, why not sooner? Long before Xu Wenling and Li Yang got married.
Someone stopped her, no matter who it was, Yuan Wenxin or Xun Yu, and told her not to marry this incompetent man for the sake of a house and a registered residence. This is a bank card and this is a real estate certificate. We've got it all arranged for you.
Let Yingzhou live a good life and grow up happily like an ordinary child.
Or maybe later. He has achieved his ideals, his ambitions. He knew he could escape that quagmire on his own. His heart is no longer filled with trouble and trauma.
But now. It's almost dawn.
Spring is coming soon.
Yingzhou's hand held the umbrella handle harder and harder.
He is very receptive and adaptable.
But Yingzhou still felt that everything that happened from the moment the shadow appeared to now was ridiculous.
But he had seen those strange creatures with his own eyes.
Man-eating shadows, writhing pigs. The bugs in Yuan Wenxin's body will turn into butterflies, or even his own shadow.
"You don't think...you are very affectionate and great, do you?" Ying Zhou's body trembled slightly.
Xun Yu heard Yingzhou's sneer.
He froze.
Yingzhou's expression was particularly cold: "I don't care what happened to you and me in your dream, but until now, we have only met twice. Stop saying these inexplicable words, it sounds disgusting."
He walked towards the corridor. Halfway to the first floor, he suddenly heard low choking sounds.
Ying Zhou's steps paused slightly.
He took a deep breath, took a few steps back, and returned to the door of the unit.
Xun Yu still stood there, biting her lower lip, her shoulders twitching from crying, tears and nose running.
Yingzhou: "..."
He raised his mobile phone: "I suddenly remembered. Add your contact information. I have something to ask you."
After saying that, Yingzhou turned his face sideways. He stared at the corridor wall covered with small advertisements.
His tone was still stiff and cold.
But Xun Yu's eyes suddenly burst into surprise.
**
When Yingzhou got home, he looked at the time. Four o'clock in the morning.
His extreme self-discipline is also reflected in his biological clock. During the three years of high school, no matter what happened, Yingzhou would go to bed at 10:30 pm and get up on time at 6:00 the next day. First, he would do a set of test papers that he liked, and then drive to school to eat. breakfast.
It’s just that too many strange things have happened recently, which have disrupted this balance. Fortunately, he is not particularly sleepy now.
Yingzhou went home and took a shower in the bathroom.
The steam was thick and he was rubbing his hair with shampoo when he suddenly smelled a wet smell. It’s hard to say, but it has a strong sea smell.
Yingzhou looked up and found a black bird flying near the exhaust window. A very small one that looks like a crow.
It's raining outside today. It is normal for birds to come to shelter from the rain under the eaves. In the corner of his living room near the window, birds come to build nests every spring.
The little bird's eyes glowed a deep dark red under the light.
The shadow attached to the wall suddenly started to move on its own.
It was like a snake, slowly climbing up the bathroom tiles.
The black bird leaning against the window didn't notice it until the shadow opened its mouth wide and suddenly jumped out from below. It screamed strangely and flapped its wings.
The yellow beak opened, and there were actually three tongues sticking out of it, like sticky black tentacles. On the surface of the tentacles, you can even see suction cups that are constantly changing in size and position. It's like an ulcer growing on flesh.
The shadow drove away the crows and slammed the exhaust window shut.
Then it swam back to the foot of Yingzhou.
The shower head is still spraying water. Pattering.
Yingzhou squatted down, grabbed the shadow's neck, and lifted it up from the ground.
"Do you have your own consciousness?" Yingzhou asked.
In fact, Yingzhou had noticed something unusual before, but he didn't have time to think about it.
After all, this tm is just a concrete manifestation of superpower.
He has never seen Yuan Wenxin's bug interact with its owner.
The light source above the head is very strong and the shadows are short.
The slender shadow, like a small paper man, shook its head violently in his hand.
Yingzhou's face darkened. He opened the door, threw the shadow outside, and then closed the bathroom door.
A few minutes later, a neatly dressed Yingzhou came out of the bathroom.
In the middle of the night, he didn't have the nerve to turn on the hair dryer to dry his hair so as not to disturb the neighbors. Instead, he used a washcloth to dry the water on his hair.
Yingzhou sat on the sofa, looking down at the shadow that had returned to his feet.
He stepped on it twice with his slippers, but there was no reaction from the shadow.
"Can you talk?"
"Are you also reborn?"
"What the hell are you?"
The shadow remained motionless, quite calm. It looked like Yingzhou was a psycho talking to himself on the floor.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the question, Yingzhou simply turned off the lights in the living room and returned to his bedroom.
The mobile phone placed on the stool was fully charged. Yingzhou opened it and saw that Xun Yu had sent many messages in one go on the social account.
The name of Xun Yu’s social account is very strange, called Happy Tugou, and the avatar is actually a selfie of herself. Very much in line with the stereotype of a sports student. Although Xun Yu is not a sports student.
Xun Yu: Yingzhou, I think you are right. After all, we had only met a few times, and my previous behavior was that I was too abrupt.
Xun Yu: Let me introduce myself first. My name is Xun Yu. Currently, I am a sophomore in the Department of Biology at University A. Height 189cm. 20 years old this year. The ability is called madness, and it will transform towards dogs, because the source of my evolution comes from a black dog. This is my other profile.
It’s a long story, no matter whether it’s two lifetimes before or after. Xun Yu's origins of becoming a superpower are extremely random.
He inherited the Campus Stray Animal Care Association founded by his senior sister in college and became the president of the association in his sophomore year. One of the daily tasks is to feed stray kittens after school.
The main task is to capture and sterilize male and female cats; to find adopters for newborn kittens, and to kidnap them instead of buying them.
Then one night, while feeding the cat, he was bitten by a mad dog.
That should be a strange creature that has just begun to mutate. The mixed-haired black dog was drooling with fishy saliva, walking with its head tilted, and its eyes were scarlet.
It is a little stronger than the average dog. But it is so weak that it cannot be called a scourge at all, and it does not have the strange realm that only scourges have.
It was meant to bite the cat. But Xun Yu couldn't just watch the kitten being bitten to death. So he fought with the dog and was bitten by the dog.
If a person is bitten by a dog, he cannot bite the dog in turn.
In her previous life, Xunyu let the dog go; in this life, she beat the big black dog to death with her bare hands.
But this time, he did not get the rabies vaccine because the dog was not rabid. It also became a scourge later, and it was Xun Yu who dealt with it.
Xun Yu: [Resume.PDF]
Xun Yu: After the college entrance examination, your class will organize students to go camping in the suburbs. I hope you won’t go. This is important.
Xun Yu: If you must go, please take me with you. It's not that I want to limit your actions, because according to my memory, you will become a superpower there.
Xun Yu: Your superpower is called "Tai Sui". It is very powerful, but it is an ability that can bring disaster and misfortune.
But you're not wrong.
The fault lies with those who covet its beauty.
Yingzhou looked at the screen, thought for a moment, and replied with two words: "Received."
He turned off the phone screen and lay down on the bed. Then I had a long-awaited dream.
Yingzhou knew very well that this was a dream. The scene in front of me was as bizarre as if I had eaten a mushroom, and the sky above my head was as colorful as soap bubbles.
In the dream, there was a dark crow sitting on his shoulder. I can't drive him away no matter what.
Yingzhou saw himself in his dream.
White hair, light red eyes. His whole body was covered with bandages, and his knuckles were exposed like bones. New flesh stubble grew on the bones, which was pink.
He also saw Xun Yu in this dream. In addition, there are many people with blurred faces. Their faces were blank, like puppets in some horror movie.
The location should be a hospital.
He was seriously injured, and many people wearing the same protective clothing as Zhao Sijia gathered around his hospital bed, discussing something anxiously.
They argued so red-faced that they almost had a fight outside the ward.
Then the medicine was given one injection after another, and the doctor was responsible for the operation.
Finally, the researcher outside brought a red worm.
The red bug got into Yingzhou's heart. After a long period of calm, the electrocardiogram finally began to rise and fall.
Yingzhou survived, but his injuries were serious and he was often in pain and couldn't sleep.
The most painful part of the day is changing dressings. The hemostatic bandage needs to be removed and replaced with a new one.
The skin burned by the fire is black, and with a slight touch, yellow pus will flow out from under the peeled epidermis.
It's hard to imagine that such a person is not dead yet.
But it was obviously painful, but Yingzhou made no sound. He doesn't cry out in pain, and his breathing is very light.
The person on the hospital bed was left to be manipulated by others, with empty and distant eyes, like a beautiful ornament.
Everyone will cry the moment they turn their backs on him.
One day, the attending physician sent a dog, a black dog. Looks like a puppy.
They call this a companion dog.
Yingzhou looked left and right and felt that the dog looked like a Doberman and a bit like a wolf. Generally speaking, companion dogs are golden retrievers or Labradors.
Generally speaking, if the tail is upturned, it is a dog, and if it is droopy, it is a wolf.
This companion dog often forgets to lift his tail while wagging it low.
But it is true that having a dog by your side makes you feel much better psychologically.
Dogs are not like humans. Dogs only recognize their owners and are safer than humans.
Dogs won't hurt you either. The puppy only needs a little love to survive, and it will turn around and give all its love to you.
This dog would circle anxiously when Yingzhou was in pain; it would grab tulips and roses from the flower bed when he was in a bad mood; it would push Yingzhou's favorite books in front of him. He would even put the dog leash into Yingzhou's hand, and then look at him eagerly with eyes full of hope.
At first, Yingzhou didn't like to talk to it.
But who can resist a sensible and obedient puppy? This puppy will also lie beside your bed and sleep with you. When you have nightmares, he licks you awake and then presses his belly against your cold hand.
To be fair, this is a short-haired dog, not as fluffy as ordinary puppies, and the face is long and thin, which is not very good-looking.
But Yingzhou finally accepted it.
He has never had a pet since he was a child, and he doesn't even feed stray cats on the roadside.
It's not that he doesn't like them, it's just that he doesn't have the ability to raise them. Since there was no such plan from the beginning, why let the stray cat have illusions.
Yingzhou is a very good student. He flipped through professional books on pet breeding and learned to raise dogs scientifically. Provide dog food, make a dog house, walk the dog regularly, and play with the dog.
The puppy wags its tail more and more frequently.
The dog grew very quickly, and by the time Yingzhou was discharged from the hospital, he was already the size of a sub-adult dog.
After Yingzhou completed the discharge procedures, he was actually the only patient in this hospital.
But the nurse didn't fetch his dog for a long time.
They brought a man. young man.
They said his name was Xun Yu, he was the person who rescued you from the basement, and he was also the dog you raised.
Xun Yu is not bad looking, he is a very typical sunny and cheerful boy who looks like the second male lead in a campus novel.
Yingzhou shook hands with him stiffly and thanked him politely. However, there is a floral fragrance permeating the body, which is very light.
Xun Yu brought a bouquet of flowers, and he looked particularly happy.
He took Yingzhou to see the house assigned by his work unit. In a shelter where every inch of land is at a premium, it is very peaceful.
He takes Yingzhou to play games. No one can hate games. Yingzhou actually likes games, but he doesn’t have many friends and can’t find anyone to form a team with.
He took Yingzhou to the restaurant for dinner. Chinese food, in the corner of the restaurant, there is a band performing.
At the end of the meal, the restaurant served dessert, an exquisite and beautiful small cake.
Ying Zhou cut it open with a dining knife, and there was a sparkling diamond ring inside the cake.
Yingzhou couldn't help but think that this was indeed a bitch.
Xun Yu's expression was full of expectation: "Yingzhou, I like you. Can you let me continue to take care of you?"
The music played by the band also changed from "Moonlight" to "Dream Wedding".
But Yingzhou was silent for a long time.
Yingzhou heard himself say: "Like it?... What is this... a new way to make people feel painful?"
"Can you give me the dog back?"
He looked at Xun Yu's surprised eyes, turned his head, could no longer control himself, and started vomiting hysterically.
In the dream, the crow on Yingzhou's shoulder flew up, letting out a happy and weird laugh, and countless deep black feathers fell down.
"Quack-quack-!"
Ying Zhou suddenly woke up from his dream.
He turned on his phone and looked at the time, seven in the morning.
There was a strange feeling on his fingers. Yingzhou lifted the quilt and found a gingerbread man-like shadow in his palm, beating his little finger hard.
It couldn't speak, but its body language looked full of annoyance.
It must have woken him up from his dream.
The story in the dream is becoming vague. Yingzhou opened the memo on his phone and wrote it down very briefly.
He slept for just over an hour. It was still raining outside the window and the sky was dark.
Yingzhou's pillow was soaked.
He raised his hand and wiped the inexplicable tears with the back of his hand.
