When he stepped on the stairs, the world other than him had stopped, declaring the irreversible end.The sensor light in the corridor is on, and the preset time has lost its meaning. Only the nothingness that devours everything can turn it off when it restarts.

There was nothing under the lights, no blood, no wreckage, no people.He walked slowly up the steps to the open door and into the messy interior.

The house was as empty as the outside, and neither the perpetrator nor the victim had disappeared, leaving no imaginable trace of passing by.Garbage was piled on the ground in a mess, and the gap in the wall was open, like a mocking mouth, warning the fearsome monster to stop consciously.He stood in front of the bedroom door for a while, opened the door and walked in.

The windows in the room were not closed after they were opened, and the stench of monster blood from the balcony came downwind. In addition, when the police came in and out, they destroyed the breath left by the original occupants.The items in the room are still in good condition, but there are scattered dust everywhere when the walls are destroyed, and the footprints on the floor are messy, which is a messy scene.Facing the window where the light came in, he sat down on the edge of the bed, a small cloud of dust rose up with his movements, and he seemed to be able to smell a lingering scent of after-bath in the air.

Is it because he didn't witness the death scene this time?The anger and pain in his heart were much milder than last time, replaced by a sense of frustration: he fought with that thing and chased it all the way, but he didn't find that its two parts could act independently Yes, the result was far away, allowing the other party to easily carry out the hunt.

Failure was the next priority. After all, he had already guessed that this would not be something that would be successful just two or three times.The main thing that annoys him is that he has not been able to see the real means of the monster, so even if he tries again, there is no way to deal with it in advance... Paid the price, but did not make progress, isn't it a waste of time this time? ?

The person to protect not only doesn't know him now, he doesn't even know the existence of monsters.Don't expect to cooperate, and you will be scared away by him.This is a really annoying situation.

Maybe you can try... first appear in the form of a monster to scare people, and then switch back to human form to pretend to be rescued?

This is a straightforward way to show the status quo, and it is also good for gaining trust.The person sitting by the bed straightened his back slightly, turning a blind eye to the changes in the world around him that began to dissolve in the white light, and seriously considered the strategy that came to him in a flash of inspiration.Originally, his gaze was directed forward aimlessly, but as his posture changed, he raised his gaze a little, and beyond the cover of the chair, he saw a small object that had fallen under the desk.

The thing was dark and inconspicuous before.But when everything around is losing its shape and being swallowed by light, it remains in place and becomes an absolutely abnormal existence.He got up and walked over to pick it up.It was a small notepad that could be put in a pocket, and the aura of a monster on it was so weak that it could only be felt in the hand.

He flipped a page casually, and white light surrounded him, illuminating the words on the paper along the way.The notepad maintains its weight and tactility steadily in his hands, showing no signs of blurring and collapsing as the restart proceeds.

"A new thing came to the school." On the page he turned, it was written in fine black letters, "A shapeshifter ran into that spider wolf's territory a few days ago and was almost eaten. Now It seems to be cooperating with that centipede, it's an ugly alliance... It's the first time I know that the shapeshifter has the ability to parasitize besides mimicry, and the poison on the centipede seems to have been used. That's right, this kind of combat power is garbage Things that human children can kill, if they don't know how to play tricks, they won't survive at all..."

The white light is dissipating in favor of brighter natural light during the day.The reboot is almost complete, and the timeline is growing again from where it was cut off.

On the road elsewhere, the gray-haired girl who had just left a "witch's coven" that pretended to be ghosts and hadn't arrived at school suddenly stopped in her tracks.She reached into her small bag, took out a small notebook with a black cover, and watched it quickly become transparent in her hand, and finally disappeared.

She is a monster born from the concept of "recording and forgetting". She feeds on human thoughts and ideas. She seems to have a flesh and blood body, but her actual existence is between the virtual and the real.This notebook, which she used to record the situation of other monsters, has been carried by her for a long time, and it has undergone a similar demonization, and it is no longer a completely physical thing.

Now such a situation...

"...Timeline correction?" she murmured.

In the bedroom where the master had left, the man who had read the passage raised his head and found that the walls of the room had returned to their intact appearance, and the dust had disappeared.Through the door, his keen sense of hearing caught the sound of "crashing, clattering" water, and the sound of humming some kind of tune vaguely.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of another approachable plan, and quickly decided to try this first-because the situation at this time was just right.He glanced at the notepad in his hand, it hadn't been reset... He put the book in his pocket and put it away, preparing to study its special features later: Restarting is the period when "accidents" happen most frequently , It will take some time for him to rush to the intersection from here, and to implement the plan he just thought of...he has to speed up.

He didn't hide his existence at all, walked to the door, pushed the door open and walked out of the room.

Zhao Feng watched an American drama last night for nearly four o'clock, and slept until almost noon.His roommate who can cook by himself has already gone out, because he didn't mention it, and didn't leave him lunch, so he could only sniff the residual food aroma hungry, and prepared to finish the washing work quickly and go out to eat.Humming a song and brushing his teeth, he was pouring water into the washbasin when he heard the sound of the door lock opening.

Lu You's bedroom door opened.Zhao Feng had the simplest thought at the time, thinking that the roommate hadn't left yet?He turned off the faucet and turned his head to say hello to Lu You.But coming out of the room was someone he didn't know.

A tall man dressed in black with a stern expression.

Zhao Feng was stunned.That kind of calm posture, as if he should come out of that room, made Zhao Feng subconsciously regard him as someone his roommates knew.His eyes flicked around the man's face, and while he was a person who also paid attention to his appearance, he felt a little jealous, and at the same time, a lot of guesses about his identity rushed through his mind—— Thanks to the torment of the Internet, most of them are not harmonious, which made his expression become strange for a while.

The man looked at him and said nothing.Zhao Feng had an inexplicable feeling that he didn't belong here and that he should just get out.He coughed and tried to maintain a normal tone: "You..."

He uttered only one word.The black shadow flashed across the retina, crossed half of the restaurant in an instant, and arrived at him.The thing that sprang out from the man's shadow seemed to be a black long whip, accompanied by a strong blow to the chest, before he could fall backwards, it wrapped him around him flexibly, tightened it tightly, and slammed him forward Pull back——

His body soared into the air, then came to a sudden stop - his stomach was empty, only acid welling up his throat.Zhao Feng was completely dumbfounded.When he fell headfirst at the feet of that man—that monster that looked like a human but had tentacles—it is no exaggeration to say that if the first thing he did after waking up was not to go to the toilet, he would probably pee by now .

The slender end of a tentacle wrapped around his mobile phone and sent it to him.

"Do as I say," commanded the monster unemotionally.

----

It was only 10 minutes before Lu You walked out of the house, and before he reached the most chaotic intersection halfway, his roommate Zhao Feng, who had just woken up when he went out, called.He was still walking when the phone was connected, and then stopped after taking a few steps.

He stood on the side of the road so as not to obstruct other pedestrians who were passing by. "Zhao Feng?" He asked, Zhao Feng's silence made him feel a little strange, wondering if he pressed the wrong button, "What's the matter?"

A few seconds later, Zhao Feng's voice came over. "Lu, Lu, Lu..." He stumbled for some reason, and he didn't speak a sentence for a long time, his voice was still vague. Lu You said "Hello?" a few times, and when the wind subsided, Zhao Feng seemed to The sound of chattering teeth finally formed a whole sentence, "Lu You... can you come back?"

There seemed to be more people around.Someone squeezed past Lu You, and in order to avoid it, he had to put one foot into the lawn, "Now?" He confirmed to Zhao Feng suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"

"...I'll tell you when I get back, okay?" Zhao Feng said, sounding very difficult, as if he was gnashing his teeth, "It's really urgent... You're still on the way, not at school, right? Can you come back now?"

There was a pleading tone in his tone, and Lu You couldn't refuse. "Then... okay." He glanced at the time on his watch, decided to call Yuan Xiaoxiao on the way back to explain that he would be late, and replied to Zhao Feng, "I'll be right back, I'll be there in ten minutes."

Zhao Feng did not express a sigh of relief.After a moment of silence as if holding back something to say, he finally said nothing, said "Thank you" with some difficulty, and then hung up the call.Lu You stood holding the phone for a while, thinking about what "urgent" Zhao Feng might encounter at home, and at the same time began to look through the address book to find Yuan Xiaoxiao's number, and at the same time turned around, ready to go back.

There was a slight "crack" sound in my ear.Out of the corner of his eye, a slender shadow wriggled and jumped towards him, with a little light shining at the top.Lu You's attention was still on the phone, and before he had time to react, he wanted to dodge. He was about to hit him, but for some unknown reason, he drew towards the snake-like thing, and "snapped" it He slammed it to the side.

The "snake" was hanging on the bushes on the inner side of the lawn, still trembling, but couldn't break free from the branches and leaves.At this moment, Lu You took a step back, and realized that it was not a creature, but a high-voltage wire that had been disconnected and fell down.There are still electric sparks flashing randomly at the fracture.If I had really bumped into him just now... he would probably already be on the ground.

Sudden distress and the rest of his life, Lu You's heart beat a little faster.He thought of the thing that saved his life by pulling the wire away just now... The shadow was so fast that he couldn't even see whether it was round or flat.I looked around for a while, but found no one that met the requirements, so I had to give up looking for it in confusion after a while.

That wire fell into the bushes, making it less likely to injure someone, but it couldn't just be left alone.He didn't know the phone number responsible for circuit maintenance, so he called the almighty firefighter... A passerby offered to help, and was willing to wait here until the firefighter sent someone over to prevent anyone from being injured during this period. Lu You said to him Thanks, I can be regarded as able to withdraw from this trouble and leave.

After a few minutes of delay, I don't know what happened to Zhao Feng's situation.Lu You was frightened once, and he didn't dare to make phone calls while walking, so he sent a message to Yuan Xiaoxiao, put away his phone, and hurried back.
