Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1568 Qiao Yuan Temple Alone

After turning off the engine and pulling out the key, Qiao Yuansi sat quietly in the driver's seat for a few minutes before pushing open the door.

When she walked past the car, she raised her hand and lightly ran across the deformed and collapsed trunk with her fingers.The car body was warmed by the sun, and some of the bends were sharp, so she carefully avoided them; the fingertips were soon covered with a layer of dust, which flattened and dulled the skin texture of the fingertips.

The back cover collapsed so badly that the compartment couldn't engage the switch normally, and was deformed and twisted together; some camping supplies still inside seemed impossible to get out.Qiao Yuansi thought of this, smiled slightly, and then slowly withdrew his hand.

When approaching the teaching building, the flow of people gradually increased. Young students were joking and joking in the sun. It was hard to believe that the old world with similar faces in the past was actually dead.Occasionally, some students in the class recognized her and would say hello to her, Qiao Yuansi would also nod with a smile and say good morning—whether it was a normal face or not.

Even if someone suddenly deformed in front of her eyes, she would not be surprised.It's not because she's used to it, but because Qiao Yuansi doesn't think she's actually here.

Her body walks among the shapeshifters, presses the elevator button, and answers "Have you eaten breakfast" when the faceless colleague asks "Have you had breakfast?" But in fact, she is not here.

She has been withdrawn from the world of shapeshifters, she does not know where she went, maybe it is a far away place; she has long been swept up and blown away by the sea wind, floating between the gray-blue sky and the sea .

This building, this school, is just a pantomime stage for the coming and going of the crowd.Her ears were filled with the chatter and laughter of the students, the squeal of sneakers scraping the floor, and the sound of doors opening and closing, but it was the first time that she realized that there was such a quiet and forbearing day in school.

She hung the "travel photos" left after she sent the letter on the most conspicuous place on the office wall, and received several "beautiful" compliments from the visitors.No one expressed surprise at her face in the photograph; either they'd already learned they couldn't, or the metamorphosis had spread to the point where there were hardly any normal people in the school.Which one, Qiao Yuansi realized that he didn't really care much about it.

Before class, she took out a small box of bird food from her bag, prepared a small bowl of water, and put it outside the window sill, not knowing when Manmiao would come.Although Man Miao can only focus on her now, its range of activities is quite wide, and it has its own birds to live with, so it may not always go to her side all the time.

Speaking of it, the props in the doomsday world are really amazing. They even connected the bird with no hope of healing to her life and survived with her; as long as she lives for a day, Mian Miao will live for a day.

...Fortunately, she left something behind.

Qiao Yuansi made some changes to her course arrangement: as the first task of the first class, she asked students to write an understanding of a certain topic.In fact, she doesn't even have to wait until the homework is collected, she just needs to walk around the classroom when they are immersed in writing, and look at everyone's paper, and she can count it in her heart.

The things they wrote down are not high-fever nonsense, at least most of them seem to be fluent at first glance, with subjects, objects and related words, but lack of understanding and logic, can't distinguish fact from fiction, full of confusion and self-contradiction, but they don't understand it at all. Feeling——Looking a little more, she can even judge the extent to which this person has deteriorated from the content of the homework.

The most serious student, whose face has not deformed from the beginning to the end, seems to be more stable than her, but the meaning of the content in the homework is completely unrecognizable, and the text itself is so simplified that it is incomprehensible; Qiao Yuansi After only a quick glance, he never dared to approach that female student again.

After going through everyone's homework, she found that there was only one normal person in this class.

It was an ordinary-looking boy. She hadn't paid much attention to him before, because he always sat quietly in a corner with his head bowed—probably because he was not very conspicuous, so the other shapeshifters seemed to have not noticed him so far. Not one of the shapeshifters.

Qiao Yuansi read his homework several times, wondering if he should take the initiative to talk to him.It's a pity that she doesn't even have anyone to talk to now... She thought about it over and over again, and finally decided to observe the situation first.

Fortunately, she was extra careful, because she soon discovered that the boy couldn't see the facial changes of the people around him. It wasn't because he was a superb actor, but because he really couldn't see it—once, he said something to his classmates in the group discussion "Are you eating chewing gum? Give me a piece." Qiao Yuansi stared at the person whose lower half of his face was the reflection of his upper face for a few seconds, but couldn't find where his mouth was.

When the man said "yes", and really took out the gum from the bag, she had to admit: in the eyes of the boy, this shapeshifter not only had a mouth, but also chewed things in that mouth.

Two weeks later, the boy was transfigured in class.

The same thing happened several times later, it seems that compared with the normal people who "can see the deformation", the proportion of normal people who "can't see it" is larger - when Qiao Yuansi realized this, it was inevitable that Qiao Yuansi Depressed for a few days.

As a minority among the few, they had to pretend that they couldn't see the transformation, so as to ensure that other shapeshifters would not do anything to them; but while ensuring this, they also pushed away the possibility of finding fellow travelers.

Under such circumstances, if there were still normal people in the school who could sense the situation, would he dare to contact Qiao Yuansi?Of course I dare not.

Of course, maybe she shouldn't have contacted people in the first place.

In Ying——before she started school, she also agreed that in her special situation, it is better to live as far away from the crowd as possible and avoid people's eyes and ears; the more normal people around her, the more dangerous it is.Qiao Yuansi understood the truth, but she just didn't expect that it would be such a difficult thing to be silent among the shapeshifters.

Speaking of which... how long has it been since you left school?Seems like it's been a month, right?

On the surface, everything was normal on her face, she was preparing for class and speaking in meetings, no one could see anything unusual, but deep in her mind, she always seemed to be a little dazed.Her time had already stopped on the day before school started, so whenever she saw that the newspaper date added another day, she always secretly suspected that the newspaper had made a mistake.

Others count the dates forward, but she counts them down: there are still twelve months and one week, twelve months and six days, twelve months and five days... cleared What will happen that day, she doesn't know.

Later, Qiao Yuansi didn't dare to recall this period of time; every time she thought about it, she would always be enveloped by an almost terrifying thought, and even her breathing would become difficult—was it because she was too distracted during this period of time No, it was the revealing of the horse's feet that led to the series of events in the future?

On that day, she had nothing to do as usual, and she couldn't read a book, so she sat alone in the office and watched the scenery outside the window.

From a week or two ago, Qiao Yuansi found that she was so idle every day that it was frightening: there was not even a normal person left in her class, and no one could understand the lessons she prepared, and she couldn't understand the students' handouts. Upcoming homework.When she was in class, she had to let the students discuss in groups and comment on each other. In this way, she lost more than half of her work.

In other classes, I don't know what it looks like?

Qiao Yuansi thought while slowly adding water to the water tank on the windowsill.Man Miao regards her as a mobile cafeteria, and she will appear at least once or twice a day, and when she shows her face, she often looks like a hungry ghost—she and Man Miao are connected in life, so she can always see it subtly. state of the bird.

"Miss Joe?"

Hearing a few knocks on the door, the chair under her turned in a circle, and she was facing the person coming at the door.At the door was a young girl who looked familiar to her. Not only was her face normal, but she was also very pleasing to the eye; the latter was a little cautious and said, "I'm a student on the waiting list. I want to ask about the vacancies..."

Oh, yes, there is such a thing.No wonder she looked familiar, as if she had been to the office once before.

Qiao Yuansi bent down, reached out to open the drawer, and asked, "What's your name?"

The question was asked, but she didn't wait for the female student's answer.When she found the folder from the drawer and straightened up again, she found that the latter was still standing there in a daze, as if she had seen something incomprehensible.

Qiao Yuansi felt something suddenly fell heavily in his chest.

She turned around the chair, followed the girl's gaze, and landed on the window sill that she had covered just now—there were graceful bird food boxes and clean water boxes, and there was nothing unusual about gracefulness not coming. .

... What is she looking at?

The girl raised her eyes again and looked carefully at the "travel photos" hanging on the wall for two seconds.It was definitely not the first time she had seen this photo, and anyone who had been to Qiao Yuansi's office would not have missed it... But her suddenly focused and careful eyes really scared Qiao Yuansi.

"What's your name?" Qiao Yuansi asked again - this time it was not out of work obligations, she hoped to divert the other party's attention as soon as possible.

"Jin Yan," the girl came back to her senses, walked to the table and stopped, and replied in a low voice. "Is that... a bird feeder?"

Qiao Yuansi held back his beating heart, and replied dryly: "Yes."

She felt that her complexion might have turned pale. She has never been very good at acting, so she quickly lowered her head as if checking the list, and said, "Which class are you waiting for?"

The girl sat down on the visitor's chair and said, "...at ten o'clock in the morning on Wednesday."

It was obvious that neither of them was on the waiting list; Qiao Yuansi couldn't tell what the other was thinking, but they were both pretending, pretending that they were here to arrange classes.

Jin Yan is not the first person to see the bird food box. The bird food box is placed here every day, and there are countless shapeshifters who come and go and see it.Naturally, none of the shapeshifters who could understand why she wanted to feed the birds; but their speculative ability prevented them from establishing any connection between "feeding the birds" and "not transforming", so at most they were Say "You're so weird, what else do they do", and then let it go.

Could it be... Could it be that Jin Yan...

Qiao Yuansi lowered his head and was so confused for a while that he didn't know how to deal with the situation.She stared at the document for a few seconds without turning the page or seeing anything; at this moment, Jin Yan asked in a low voice: "Well, Miss Qiao, can you take off your face and let me see?"

Pick, pick off the face?
Qiao Yuansi was startled, and suddenly raised his head.She was ready to see a desperate face, but Jin Yan was still sitting there as before, with clean facial features, only a little anxiety and tension between her brows.

How to answer this?What reason does she have for refusing?

Jin Yan took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Is it not possible? I... I understand. I can't either, because... I haven't transformed either."

　In a flash, it seems that there is no thank you list for another half a year... Every time I say this, I feel as if I have done something, the guilt is 5 degrees lighter, and then it can be delayed for at least a month...

Recently, I searched for dramas, and happened to see Others are Hell. I actually seldom watch Korean dramas. I think this story line is a bit simple and slow, but the shooting technique is really good, so I watched several episodes along the way... Seeing now, my only question is: who is Lee Dong Wook, why did I only know about this person until now, it is the first time in my 17 years that my face has been enlightened
