Chapter 212 The Butterfly Effect

----

"Are you asking that person? Youyou will tell you." Zhou Chen paused when he heard his daughter's question, when he was about to pick up a chopstick of green vegetables from the plate, then put the green vegetables into the bowl as if nothing had happened, and answered in his mouth. Said: "That's a student from T University. He's doing an interview for the research needed for homework. I accidentally recorded the appointment time as tomorrow, and he was still washing the carpet when he came over. What a mess... Hey, Didn't I mention this to you at dinner the other day?"

Yuan Xiaoxiao just took a bite of the egg dumpling that was fished out of the soup, and was hissed and inhaled by the hot gravy inside. Hearing this, she showed a blank and guilty expression: "Is...is it?" Although she didn't have this at all. However, if her mother knew that she was not obedient and agreed casually at the time, she would be hit on the forehead, so she paused for a few seconds and showed a suddenly realized expression, "Oh, it's that...? It’s been a few days, and I didn’t remember it for a while.”

She didn't notice that her mother raised the rice bowl to her mouth to cover the faintly twitching corner of her mouth, and her eyes revealed the complex emotions of relaxation and helplessness of "my daughter is so easy to cheat".At this moment, Yuan Xiaoxiao is happily stuffing the whole egg dumpling into his mouth. The thin egg skin soaked in soup is wrapped with tender and elastic meatballs. The taste and umami filled her lips and teeth, prompting her to quickly grab another one.

The food at home is still delicious...

Everything on the outside tasted bland, as if it had been boiled in clean water for a long time, lacking flavor and aroma.If a large amount of seasoning is added vigorously, it will cause a pepper-like tingling sensation on the tip of the tongue.I don't know if it's the difference in raw materials, seasoning or cooking methods, or there is something wrong with her own taste. In short, even if it is a well-known restaurant, she will only feel disappointed after eating.Fortunately, she and others have relatively unified opinions on desserts and drinks, so they can have fun together when they go out to parties.

Once when my parents went on a trip, Lu You took over the task of cooking, and Yuan Xiaoxiao still had no taste for the finished product made according to his taste.Later, it was she who dug out a bottle of homemade beef sauce from the refrigerator to deal with that period of time.The strange thing is that when Lu You ate at their house, he didn't feel any obvious difference... Yuan Xiaoxiao guessed that it might be some kind of heredity, her family's sense of taste is a bit special—speaking of it, her father first The reason why I am attracted to my mother seems to be that the dishes she cooks are particularly delicious?

Yuan Xiaoxiao ate three egg dumplings in a row, and then remembered that she wanted to ask another question before being asked by her mother: "By the way, Mom, why did that person come to interview you? Is it an exclusive recipe?"

"I just asked some questions about family relationships, and didn't tell me what I wanted to study. Students in the Department of Psychology like to ask some weird questions..." Zhou Chen said vaguely, and then wanted to ask more questions. His daughter cast a warning look, "Eat well, don't talk! Look at you, the soup is all spilled on the table, is your mouth leaking—"

Yuan Xiaoxiao has become accustomed to her dislike of her mother, and she will no longer feel jealous because her mother is so gentle to Lu You as she did when she was a child.She silently shut up, began to bury her head in her mouth, and soon forgot about this topic.Zhou Chenjian successfully fooled the past, but did not feel relaxed, and his heart was still heavy.

Her daughter is really big-hearted... Although her intuition is as accurate as hers, she seldom delves into things and often forgets her doubts as soon as she turns her head.Because Xiaoxiao is not used to human food, she has been purchasing some special "seasoning", although she carefully hides it, and pays attention to distinguishing it when she asks Lu You to come over for dinner. Over the years, there have been several mistakes. , fortunately did not arouse the suspicion of the two children.

At first, she only thought that Lu You was as confused as Xiaoxiao, and she was thankful for it, but later she realized that something was wrong—Lu You didn't forget those things, but accepted them very seriously.His own family is like that, and he has never been in contact with other families, lacking comparison. As a result, in the process of trying to accept and integrate, his own understanding of "normal" has some deviations...

It is no longer possible to correct this without confessing his identity.Zhou Chen didn't dare to ask afterwards, did Lu You think that "standing on the balcony in the middle of the night basking in the moonlight" was really a normal way of beauty... She felt guilty about this for a long time, until one time because Lu You didn't Noticing the abnormality, she ignorantly avoided the monsters wandering and hunting in the streets, which relieved her a little, and she felt that this was actually not bad.

Until this morning, she felt the breath that she dared not forget in the past ten years appeared outside the door, she took off the housework gloves and opened the door like a dream, and saw the man with the same face walking up the stairs behind Lu You, Suddenly, a feeling that something bad happened in her heart - did she unintentionally remove some key obstacles for this guy who wanted to get close to Lu You with an unknown purpose?

Perhaps it was the man's restrained aggressive attitude that weakened her fear, and she had the courage to feel bad because of it.In addition, she didn't know if it was because her memory was exaggerated by herself over time, but she always felt that his aura had become weaker - but at the same time it was more condensed and more stable.All in all, the danger is not reduced at all.

Many years ago, when she realized that Lu You was being targeted by such a terrifying monster, she originally thought of moving to avoid it.But not long after, I heard that many monsters and hybrids in this city were wiped out by some indescribable force at the same time, leaving no trace of resistance.This incident happened almost at the same time as the man's appearance, so she couldn't help but connect the two.And because the atmosphere among the monsters was tense for a long time after that, and civil strife began in many other areas, they finally gave up their plan to move and decided to take more care of Lu You.

——If it wasn't for the fact that the monster would come again, and that Lu You would be involved in that world one day, they would have kept their distance.After all, their family has the blood of monsters, so it is not suitable for them to be too close to humans.

The trajectory of fate has changed unconsciously, and no one in it has noticed.Zhou Chenshi drank the soup without taste, thinking about the identity reported by the guy who called himself "Qi Zhengyun": a graduate student in the Department of Psychology of T University...

If she remembers correctly, there is a monster with a docile temperament that does not feed on humans. Its identity in the outside world is the professor of the Department of Psychology of T University, right?She also thought that if her daughter was admitted to T University as she wished—although the reason why Yuan Xiaoxiao set the goal was just to go home for dinner in a city—she could find a way to ask this professor to help her and take care of her daughter secretly.

Now she has begun to hesitate whether to force Xiaoxiao to change targets.

I don’t know if that professor is still alive... No, no, he should still be alive, after all, he has to provide cover for that fake identity—that guy doesn’t look like a human being who will take the entrance exam and study all the way up, So it's definitely a fake identity—should she secretly ask what happened to the professor when he was threatened, so as to gauge the danger level of that person more clearly?

Zhou Chen unconsciously wanted to sigh, afraid of being questioned by his daughter, so he managed to hold back.Yuan Xiaoxiao went home alone today, saying that Lu You went back to school to pick up things he forgot.Originally, she would go out to pick it up in such a situation, because Qi Zhengyun said before leaving that he would always be by Lu You's side, and she didn't dare to go—what if this is an opportunity that guy deliberately created to do something? ?

She had no choice but to pretend to be relieved, and started eating without waiting for Lu You to come back and ask him if he wanted to come and eat, which was a bit of a cover-up.Fortunately, her restlessness did not last long, and Lu You arrived home intact after half an hour.He came back alone, and he responded normally to the tentative inquiry of "did he meet any strange people on the road?" He still seemed to remain ignorant of the other side of the world.

Zhou Chen didn't recognize the monster's breath on him.This made her heave a sigh of relief, but at the same time she became a little puzzled: Could it be that the inevitable stubbornness she felt during the morning meeting was actually just an illusion of her nervousness?

Qi Zhengyun followed Lu You from a distance, and "escorted" the residents downstairs. He didn't follow, and waited downstairs to see the lights in Lu You's house turned on, then turned and left.He was going to go back to school, and get rid of the monster entrenched in the campus at night when it was empty.

He spent the whole day today confirming the current distribution of monsters in the city, and by the way, repeated his tricks to get the identity needed in human society.When I returned to the high school where Lu You attended, it was almost time for school to end.Lu You was sitting by the window, and he passed by the window twice, which attracted Lu You to turn his head if he felt it, so Qi Zhengyun decided to restrain his breath as much as possible - in this "knowing the existence of monsters, you will be killed." In order to get close to Lu You without bringing him any danger, he had better learn to pretend to be exactly like a human as soon as possible.

...Probably because he did so well that the monster that came out after school was completely unaware of his existence and wanted to attack Lu You.At that moment, Qi Zhengyun thought that he was affected by his time travel, and the death mark that should have appeared on Lu You's body in a few years also followed him. He was very nervous for a while, and then he was sure that he was thinking too much—then Monsters are just stupid.

The one in the equipment room seemed dumber though...or more greedy.The one in the classroom still knows how to run away, but it is ready to move after being threatened.Qi Zhengyun couldn't tell whether they were one or two. The two breaths he felt in the classroom and the equipment room were almost exactly the same.He also heard the gossip circulating among the students, and his intuition told him that there might be something wrong with the girl's "boyfriend".

When Qi Zhengyun returned to the front of the teaching building, it was completely dark, and the summer heat was being blown away by the night wind.It was a clear night, and the silver moon shone on the deserted playground, gilding the railings and shrub leaves beside the playground with a circle of silver.The cold and lonely atmosphere reminded Qi Zhengyun of the night when he felt that he had nothing left, so he was in a daze for a moment.

In the wind there is not only the fragrance of grass and trees and the smell of dust after sun exposure, but also a faint stench of blood corruption.When Qi Zhengyun came back to his senses, he saw streaks of dark liquid flowing down the outer wall of the corridor on the second floor of the teaching building.Standing in the corridor was a black figure with an indescribable shape, like a big messy group of tightly entangled soft branches.The black figure was moving slowly in the corridor, staggering, while moving, while squeezing from the inside, it let out a low moan like crying.Its bloated body rubbed against the railing of the corridor, and the black-red liquid that looked like blood was squeezed out and slowly flowed down.

There must have been a mess on the floor of the corridor.The same liquid was also splashed on the window glass of Lu You's classroom, like a murder scene after a massacre.Just as Qi Zhengyun was about to step over, there was a sudden pause in his movements, and he saw an extremely fast small shadow passing by in front of him, and then it rose upwards, and quickly flew to the distant place with the high-frequency sound of flapping wings. place.

……bat?

In such weather and time, it is not uncommon for bats to come out and move around.But Qi Zhengyun sensed a trace of the monster's stench, and he seemed to see that the bat's small eyes were red.Some kind of ominous premonition passed through Qi Zhengyun's mind, and he suddenly thought of the bat swarms that bred in the abandoned buildings mentioned in Hui Hui's notebook; Bats outside the window.

The thing in the corridor had reached the stairs at this time, and then it got stuck... It twisted and made a "gruck, gurgling" sound, which sounded particularly creepy in the quiet night.The trace of the bat has disappeared in the night, and Qi Zhengyun gave up the idea of ​​chasing it to find out. He has decided to hide his monster side as much as possible, so he did not change his form, and walked slowly with human legs. Walk towards the stairway that is exuding an increasingly strong stench.
