The two sat in silence for a while, before Lu You remembered that he had brought his breakfast all the way and hadn't eaten it yet.After asking Huihui that she didn't mind, she became a person eating food silently, and a monster with a human appearance stopped its eyes on the people passing by and continued her observation.This situation didn't last long. In less than 10 minutes, there was an explosion-like roar from the opposite side of the lake. A window on one side of the teaching building exploded along with the wall next to it, shattered glass and small pieces of bricks. The stone poured down, causing several exclamations below that could not be heard clearly at this distance.

Lu You seemed to see something like Qi Zhengyun's tentacles passing behind the torn hole and the smoke. Although the scene was smaller in terms of scope, it still looked very evil.There was no other movement after that, and he wondered if the fight was over?As expected, Hui Hui spoke quickly, and said in the eerie tone of a horror movie: "The octopus came back to find you after hunting~"

——It was he who called himself an "octopus". If she called it that, no one could be wrong, right?

A series of ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, and Lu You saw that the color of the dry and whitish soil under the grass roots not far away suddenly deepened.The hand placed by his side couldn't resist increasing his strength, supporting his body and getting up; Huihui cast a half-smile look from below, and Lu You smiled wryly: Even if reason says "trust" according to logic, He started to come into contact with these strange events, just like meeting Qi Zhengyun, it was just yesterday at noon...

"...Qi Zhengyun?" He asked in a low voice.The called person responded quickly and lived up to expectations, "It's done." He said, in a tone as flat as if he just went out to take out the trash, "It won't threaten you anymore."

Before Lu You could think deeply about the meaning of the word "Zai", Huihui got up from the grass, and the grass clippings were obviously slapped off her hands.Lu You's attention was attracted, and he forgot the slight doubt just now. "I heard that there is no sign of commotion over there. You should have disposed of the spider wolf's body, right?" Huihui said casually, then let the topic go, and said directly: "I will have a meeting later. If I want to go, I won’t play with you guys. I’ve told you everything I can—”

This sentence was said to Qi Zhengyun. She held the same notebook as before, shook it as a signal, and then turned to Lu You, "Be careful not to die." She said, "Bye! "After speaking, he turned around and ran away quickly, bouncing and jumping.

... Lu You felt that this was not an illusion: Huihui was running away in a hurry.

The object of fear is obvious.However, she had no fear of Qi Zhengyun before, and she didn't know what happened now.Lu You couldn't see Qi Zhengyun's people, and he didn't hear anything wrong with his voice just now, so he carefully asked a few words, Qi Zhengyun was silent at first, and then came a voice that seemed to be clenching his teeth, "Spider wolf really It's too bad." He said, "Sorry, I don't feel like talking right now..."

Xiao Kai's human face and various bloody images that should be mosaic emerged in Lu You's mind uncontrollably.He quietly shut up, and then until lunch, obediently stayed in a place away from the crowd by the lake, not bothering the guy who was obviously in a rage because of the poor quality of the food...

What Qi Zhengyun said was indeed the truth.The "unpalatable" level of the spider wolf makes him quite uncomfortable now - but it has nothing to do with taste. To be honest, his instinct is actually the same as that of monsters, and he prefers this type of fresh blood food.The problem is, the spider wolf is indeed larger than the few little monsters he ate last night, and its power is also strong enough for him to feel the change after eating it... Then the "power" seems to be stuck in the Like a fish bone in the throat, it was choked with a strong foreign body sensation, unable to assimilate life and death, and couldn't even throw it out.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu You was still beside him, the irritability of this feeling would make him blow up the entire lake in front of him.He worked hard for most of the morning on the consequences of eating indiscriminately, and finally flattened the "power" and moved it to the edge, so that it would not affect the use of the original power-he felt like he had an extra carapace, or It's the bones.For an "octopus" that doesn't have either of these things, it's as weird as it gets.

Fortunately, it's not completely indigestible-although the progress is hopelessly slow.As the morning passed, he probably ground off one corner of this extra "bone", and vaguely realized that what distinguishes the spider wolf from those little monsters does not seem to be the size or strength, but... the mind difference?

Great, Qi Zhengyun thought to himself, it seems that pure power really cannot be absorbed, but he can still pick up his old skill of devouring "soul".It's just that until a faster "absorption" method is found, such a slow strength increase is probably useless at all.

During this period, no new monsters came over, and "accidents" happened twice. Qi Zhengyun recovered in time amidst the irritability, and helped Lu You block them all.Perhaps thanks to these two distress situations, Lu You didn't care about the change in his attitude that he didn't want to go into details. After Qi Zhengyun got used to that "bone" and made sure that the centipede, Zhao Feng, or anything else was not nearby, he still looked for a hiding place Let him switch to human form and go to the school cafeteria for lunch together.

For the rest of the day, in fact, including the next four days, nothing worth recording happened.Qi Zhengyun slowly grinds that "bone", and his strength has grown slightly; Lu You has finally become really familiar with him in the past half a week, and will no longer worry too much about some inexplicable things. Hesitant or silent about the details - Qi Zhengyun was really relieved by this.

Lu You's carefulness in caring too much for others allows him to blend in naturally and withdraw quietly when he is in a group, but if he is aware of it, it often makes him nervous.It had never occurred to him before that "talking naturally" turned out to be something that required a little effort.

Although acting too familiar at first sight will scare people away, but the long time he has spent with Lu You still gives him a considerable advantage when managing the current relationship.He knows Lu You's "future" habits, interests and preferences, although there is a little deviation from the present, it is better than starting from a blank.Moreover, as long as it is corrected this time, if it is necessary to do it again next time, what he has is a completely accurate answer...

After Yuan Xiaoxiao learned of his existence—introduced as a friend to the outside world—for the rapid progress of his relationship with Lu You, he expressed jealousy as if something he owned alone was taken away.This made Qi Zhengyun couldn't help thinking... If he did it again, several times, would he be able to complete this matter more efficiently?Reduce the time to become familiar to three days, one day, or even a few hours?

After tasting the sweetness, it is even more difficult to bear the bitter part before the sweetness.Even considering the possibility of "manufacturing" love at first sight, it is necessary to reduce the initial unilateral stranger time to minutes and seconds.

Desires are hard to fill, how greedy...

However, if possible, Qi Zhengyun certainly hopes that there will be no next time.Although this period of time is short, if this time Lu You still faces restarting, being erased and disappearing, besides the irritability of having to start over again, he will also feel sad because of this "farewell" in a certain sense Bar.

The relationship with Lu You is going well, but a few other things are not satisfactory.

One was the centipede, which escaped too fast, and his actions were restrained because he wanted to protect Lu You.The shapeshifter that co-existed with it disappeared without leaving a trace, and Qi Zhengyun detected the breath of monsters that he could sense one by one, but none of them matched, and it hid as well as if it never existed.

This made Qi Zhengyun more vigilant, because if the shapeshifter's camouflage ability is so strong, it may be difficult to distinguish it when it is close to him.The smell he felt on the shapeshifter disguised as Zhao Feng last time belonged to centipedes, and the shapeshifter itself seemed to have no smell.

The second is Zhao Feng.After the meeting at the school gate, Qi Zhengyun wanted to find a chance to test him out, but he never showed up again.He seemed to be avoiding Lu You, and then he didn't even reply to the message.In the beginning, Qi Zhengyun was just suspicious of him casually, but when he dodged like this, the degree of suspicion suddenly rose sharply.

Reminiscent of the vague aura of monsters on his body that has not been found since then... Qi Zhengyun began to suspect that Zhao Feng had already been eaten by that shapeshifter, right?

On Saturday, the stage lights reported by the drama club were finally repaired. The rehearsal originally scheduled for Thursday was delayed by two days. Before that, I had to clean up all kinds of garbage after the repair.However, the auditorium will be demolished at some point, and there are almost no performances held here. It is quite good to be willing to allocate funds to repair the lights... And for some reason, although the weather is the same during this time, the auditorium feels much brighter. It's not as gloomy and dilapidated as it used to be.

Lu You was invited to help and watch the rehearsal, and found that their other props were prepared carelessly. Yuan Xiaoxiao, who doesn't even drink beer, poured half a glass of wine.

Lu You didn't dare to drink.He stayed in the not-so-large space for a while, and felt that the air was filled with the sweet and greasy smell of cherry essence, which made his chest tight.Even though he didn't drink any alcohol, his head became dizzy.Finally he decided to leave the room to get some air.

He walked outside the auditorium and was about to have a few words with Qi Zhengyun when he saw a figure standing under a tree not far away.The man was wearing clothes that were conspicuous in the dark, and there was a huge fluorescent green English letter on his chest. His obvious features made him recognize it at a glance. "...Zhao Feng?" He hesitantly greeted, "You came here..."

Zhao Feng moved a bit.It was a strange and twisted movement.But before he could move, the monster guarding Lu You had already broken free from the darkness and rushed towards him swiftly.Lu You saw the face of "Zhao Feng" protruding from the edge of the tree shadow. It was a pale and stiff face with a grotesque expression like a ghost's face.His neck suddenly stretched like a snake - but not to attack, but to flee far away!

Qi Zhengyun's attack hit the tree trunk, and a piece of wood residue flew up. The body of "Zhao Feng" fell down, like a torn sack with a light and airy texture, and the snake-like thing jumped out from the neck cavity, and quickly stuck to the ground and rushed towards the dense forest.The pitch-black sea monster chased after it, biting hard and chasing after it!

Lu You watched the two black shadows go away in an instant, and the suddenly terrifying night outside made him take a step back unconsciously.There was the sound of footsteps dragging in the passage behind. "Lu You...?" Yuan Xiaoxiao's sleepy voice sounded behind him, "What are you looking at..."

Lu You turned around and saw her walking staggeringly, she seemed so drunk that she was about to fall to the ground.He hastily walked a few steps closer and reached out to help her, "Didn't you just drink half a glass..."

The girl's cold hand grabbed his extended wrist.The cold texture is like rubber, like something lifeless.At that moment, Lu You sensed the impending fate.He tried to make a sound, reminding the guardian who was led away from him to come back, but a cold touch invaded along the wrist that was held, and the numbness went through the whole body at a speed faster than arterial blood flow, and his voice was disappears before leaving the lips.

An unusually sharp hissing sound came from under the tree where another enemy was standing just now.The girl raised her head, glanced at the rapidly approaching marine monster, and then turned to her companion who had been broken into several knots when she was dropped halfway and was apparently dead. Between the lightning and the flint, there was still time to show a trace of regret. expression.

Then "her" figure quickly melted like wax baked by fire.The flesh-colored liquid quickly receded to the depths along the corridor, and the person who was held by "she" before maintaining his standing position fell down powerlessly when his hands left.Qi Zhengyun's tentacles rushed forward, grabbing Lu You before he fell to the ground - during this touch, he already felt that the heartbeat and breathing of this body had stopped.

He waited for this moment of fury to surge.Desperation and pain that would overwhelm reason—but, no.At least not as violently as he thought.It's as if a person is facing a huge wave on the seaside reef, thinking that he will be swallowed, but the water only wets the corner of his clothes.What filled his heart was a terrifying calmness. He could see ahead of the corridor, the flesh-colored liquid that the doppelgangers turned into when they fled was going through the crack of the door, and was about to disappear from his vision.

The second time... the opportunity to face such a troublesome enemy at close range, when will the next time be met?Before Lu You dies and the world restarts, how much time can he spend chasing him?

Qi Zhengyun gently put down Lu You's body, which was getting cold, and let him lie flat on the ground quietly; it only took him less than two seconds to think and move, and then he chased in the direction where the shapeshifter was fleeing. past.

----

Yuan Xiaoxiao finally realized that Lu You was no longer in the crowd.She drank half a glass of wine and felt lightheaded, light-headed, and dull in her thinking.So she didn't think carefully about why she wanted to find Lu You back, so she walked to the door unsteadily, ready to go out to find him.Like Lu You, Hui Hui, who had not even touched a drop of alcohol during this nonsense, watched her from the corner of the room, stood up silently and followed her.

After Yuan Xiaoxiao stepped into the corridor, she took out her mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, so she didn't do anything like "only when I stepped on it did I find someone lying on the ground".Not long after she went out, she found the man on the ground, and she was going to "wake him up" without even thinking about it.

"Don't go there." The childish female voice said behind her, "You have half human blood, and you may be poisoned."

Yuan Xiaoxiao turned his head to look at her, his expression was still confused.The girl's bright brown eyes were now glowing with a faint blue light. "You also feel the chaos outside...?" Huihui said in a low voice, she stepped forward, passed her side, and walked to the young man lying on the ground with his eyes closed, who really felt dead.

She looked at it for a while, then shook her head.Yuan Xiaoxiao stared at her in a daze, not understanding what she was vetoing.The gray-haired girl squatted down, pinched the young man's thin wrist and turned over.There was a small round bleeding point on the skin on the inner side of the wrist. She pressed down hard on the side with her fingertips, and saw a drop of bright red blood popping out—the tiny tip of the poisonous needle was hidden inside.
