On the Seven Towers

The night in the other world is very dark and deep, completely unlike the night in the original metropolis, which is reflected in light red by dust and neon. The darkness makes people feel cold, and the depth makes people feel scared and uneasy. At least, that's how Li Jia feels.

Li Jia is very familiar with the night sky. When he was a child, he was not a gregarious person. After finishing his homework, he liked to look up at the stars in the dark mountain village yard. Even if there was no moon, the starlight could outline a mysterious and yearning imagination for him. world. However, there are fewer stars here than on the earth, and they are more dull and indifferent. He will not play that kind of game with Li Jia at all. There was no moon here, only the fires in the playground and rescue scene downstairs dimly illuminated his face.

"Are you looking for the moon?" Xiao Chen entered the dormitory at some point, "There isn't one today, maybe there will be one in a few days. Maybe there is more than one."

"The ancients said that looking at the stars can reveal everyone's destiny. I just stared at them, trying to figure out something. However, I really have no talent for astrology. The more I looked at it, the more confused I felt about the future." Li Jia said He stood up from the recliner and asked, "How is Luo Ling?"

"It's not a big problem, she's tired. There's no damage to the teacher's dormitory where she lives. I'll send her back to rest. It's very cold outside. I'm going to change my clothes." The room was dark. He opened the closet and tried to find something. Wearing a long-sleeved sweatshirt and trousers, "Old Chen and the others haven't retired yet, I'm going to help him dig people..." After saying this, Xiao Chen seemed to be stuck, and suddenly lost his voice.

Seeing that there was no sound or movement from Xiao Chen for a long time, Li Jia used her cell phone to take photos in the room. She saw Xiao Chen standing steadily in front of the cupboard door, looking inside the cupboard in a daze, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit. The pale white mobile phone light reflected Xiao Chen's face like a zombie. Thinking that this is a magical world, Li Jia felt a little scared. There couldn't be anything weird in this cupboard, right?

Just when he didn't know whether he should step forward or run away, Xiao Chen's animation was pressed to continue playing. He took out his clothes as if nothing had happened, smiled unnaturally at Li Jia, and explained: "I Suddenly I was distracted. You have a good rest, I'm going to help." Then he ran out of the door. Li Jia stood stunned for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to approach the cupboard door. Use your phone to shine on the cupboard door and pull hard!

There is nothing in it...

————————————————————————

As Xiao Chen walked on the road, he lost his usual stability and stumbled a bit. No one knew that a storm was brewing in his heart at this time. When he looked at the clothes in the cabinet just now, he didn't see anything strange. He was just stunned because what he saw was too clear.

When he first opened the cupboard, he found that it was completely dark inside, and he couldn't tell which piece of clothing was which. Just when he complained secretly that he couldn't see clearly, the scene in his eyes slowly changed strangely, and everything changed. It's becoming clearer. It was like he was wearing night vision goggles.

However, unlike night vision, the things seen in those fields of view are not monochromatic, but are as rich in color as during the day, but they are slightly darker, like a pencil pastel picture. Xiao Chen didn't know what happened. This strange ability surprised and confused him. He instinctively didn't want to tell Li Jia, lest he make a fuss, so he walked out of the room in a panic and came to the dormitory corridor.

The whole world has changed.

All the darkness seemed to have been dispelled, and the dark corridor seemed to have a corridor light turned on. The classmates who were obviously just a black shadow became clear. As Xiao Chen walked out, he blinked hard, trying to figure out whether this was a temporary feeling or a lasting ability. However, this feeling did not disappear until he walked outside the dormitory building and saw the night sky turning into a jewel-like blue with silver stars hanging on it. He walked to a fire. The fire was not particularly bright. The world around him no longer needed it to illuminate. Its only function in Xiao Chen's eyes was to dye the surrounding soil and grass into a light red color.

Xiao Chen felt that he was in a world painted by a color-blind painter. He didn't use a single color, but this masterpiece was beautiful and strange. He walked, looked, and circled, trying to see everything around him, just like a blind man who had just gained light, dancing for the new world...

"Can you walk slower?" Ji Yijun held a simple spear made of steel bars and weakly said to Ye Zi who was walking in front, holding a torch and looking east and west. He had just come off the rotation from the rescue team, and as soon as he took a nap, he was raped by the other party and dragged into the night patrol team to protect the school.

Although he was tired and sleepy, the other person's words inspired him: "Aren't you good at fighting? Now is the time to prove whether you can protect the school with your fists."

But after following Ye Zi around for a few times, Ji Yijun regretted it. Ye Zi also had too much energy. He was jumping up and down and looking carefully at every place. It was really tiring.

"Classmate Ji Yijun! Can you have a sense of responsibility? Such a big campus can only be watched by a few of our patrol teams. If we are as passive and slow as you are, what if the natives come to attack us?" Ye Zi groaned angrily. Di pointed at Ji Yijun with a torch.

"We've already started doing business with them, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Even if there are no natives, what if a monkey climbs on the wall? What if a wild boar breaks out of the grass?"

"But I'm really tired. Shall we walk slower?"

"Tired? You're not tired of flirting with your female classmates, are you?"

"Hehe, how can I ignore someone saying hello?" Ji Yijun smiled cheesily.

Ye Zi snorted and ignored him.

"It's just that there are a lot of people who like me. Hey, aren't you jealous? Oh my god!" Halfway through Ji Yijun's muttering, he saw something in the darkness, whether it was a bird or a bat, and the torch was waved by Ye Zi. He was so frightened that it flew out of a bush in a fluttering manner, flying close to his head. He was so frightened that he almost dropped his steel spear.

Ye Zi chuckled twice, rolled his eyes at Ji Yijun, flicked the short braid, and continued walking forward.

Ji Yijun felt a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you for being able to laugh. You have such a big nerve."

Ye Zi turned around and asked curiously: "You're not allowed to laugh at me?"

"Have you seriously thought about your current situation?" Ji Yijun lost his smile, "We were left in this ghost place, and we are all lonely ghosts that no one wants!"

Ye Zi frowned, "Aren't you here well? Why did you become a lonely ghost?"

"It turns out that in that world, our group of people were gone. It was as if we were dead. Dad couldn't be found, and mother couldn't be seen. What about here? We have no friends, nothing, and nothing."

"No responsibility!" Ye Zi didn't seem to want to argue with him, so he turned around and left.

"Why didn't I take responsibility? I spent an afternoon poaching people and rescued several classmates with my own hands. Now I'm patrolling here with you. Who can say that to me?" Ji Yijun said angrily, "But we are in such misery now. The future is so bleak, I don’t even know how to survive!”

Ye Zi said loudly, "A responsible person must first have a heart that dares to take responsibility. If you have time to worry about this or that, it is better to think about how to do the things you are responsible for."

"Asshole, I've tried my best!" Ji Yijun yelled.

"Who is making noise? Are you..." A tall man ran down from the sentry tower that was converted into a gatehouse.

The figure was running closer and closer. Ji Yijun looked at the direction the man was running in with a shocked look on his face. He grabbed Ye Zi's torch and ran towards the man.

The torch illuminated a somewhat old, but extremely kind face.

"dad!"

"Xiaojun?"

"Dad, why are you here?"

"But I found you! I stewed a chicken and sent it to school for you. When I was walking on the road, I encountered something strange here."

"I, I was just thinking, never again... okay, okay. But, why are you standing guard here? Where is mom? Is she with you?"

"I am a veteran. I asked for it myself. I also thought it would be easier to find you at a higher place! But your mother, your mother is at home...sigh."

"Mom...Mom..." Ji Yijun hugged his father, as tight as a person hugging a pine tree after falling off a cliff. The tall guy sobbed like a child. His father suddenly seemed a little at a loss. It had been many years since his son stopped hugging him, and now he didn't even know where to put his hands. But the next second, he hugged his son tightly and patted his shoulder and back hard.

However, neither of them noticed that Ye Zi, who was not far away, stared blankly at the reunion of their father and son, with tears on his face...

"That's what happened." Luo Ling took a sip of tea, as if she wanted to remember the taste of Longjing, and took a long time to swallow it. The color on her face has not yet returned, a new bandage has been put on her head, and she is sitting lazily sunk into the sofa. Xiao Chen definitely didn't expect that Luo Ling, who was sent back to the dormitory by him and could not walk steadily, would appear in Principal Guo's office in the middle of the night.

Principal Guo, who was opposite, looked at her with some pity in the darkness, sighed and said, "It's not easy, today is a difficult day for everyone, especially the two of you, it's like going through the plot in a movie. After a day together, what do you think of Xiao Chen?"

The faint starlight illuminated Luo Ling's every move very clearly. She closed her eyes gently, stroked her brow with her hand and thought about it. After a while, she said, "What kind of person he is is a secondary question. Now he is appropriately Now that I have appeared on the stage, I should make full use of this role.”

"That's right. The school needs a cover, we need an identity, and there is nothing more suitable than a 'magician' like him, who is full of yin and yang." Guo Qian picked up a dagger from the desk in front of him, but no matter how he played with it, There was no spark from the sword. "However, in my opinion, character is still crucial. There are hundreds of us in this strange world, and one mistake may lead to the annihilation of the entire army. So, I want to Tell me how you feel about him."

"Trust. I dare not say that I can recognize a person clearly by getting along with him for a day. However, in every danger, every difficulty, and every challenge, he has lived up to my trust. Therefore, I am also willing to give him the greatest "Trust." Luo Ling replied calmly.
