Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

----

It was late at night, and most of the lighted windows in the residential building had been extinguished in the evening.Qi Zhengyun was lying on the cement platform on the roof, gazing at the starry sky above in a relaxed manner.The light pollution of the city has dimmed those distant stars, but not human eyes can still capture their faint and magnificent light.

The sudden rainstorm last night only affected a few hundred meters around the school, and the roof platform of Lu You's residence was still covered with a thin layer of dust that had been exposed to the sun repeatedly.But it had been several hours since the sun had set, and by now the residual heat had of course dissipated.Qi Zhengyun didn't care about the dust, just like when he would float to the surface of the sea in the middle of the night, like a large group of seaweed floating against the water surface, letting the warm moonlight quietly shine on him.

——When someone has lived a long period of bitterness, hatred, loneliness and reticence, he suddenly needs to be active, consider and control his words and deeds without leaving a trace, like a rubber band being pulled repeatedly in a short period of time , Once you let go, you will feel particularly tired.Qi Zhengyun didn't really release his tentacles, but he imagined them stretching freely on the uninhabited platform, letting the wind blow through the gaps between the slightly opened scales; the black scales reflected the moonlight, with a moist and cold feeling. The smell of sea water.

He can see his thoughts at the moment, but he cannot predict his reaction at the next moment—this is indeed his weakness in the subject of "human observation", so he has always felt that the method of brutal threats is more convenient than psychological warfare.However, this is not the case when facing Lu You, because he already knows enough about Lu You—Lu You once opened his heart to him and gave him exclusive permission to read minds. You can understand it by guessing.Although the other end of the line of spiritual communication was temporarily silent at this time, the signal received by his side was always very clear.

As for the nuances caused by the adjustment of the world line and the influence of age... Could it be that his sneaky observation these two days was in vain?

Qi Zhengyun didn't intend to show Lu You a completely fake image.Although it is a bit difficult to dig out the part of his personality that has been closed for a long time, but Qi Zhengyun thinks that he did a pretty good job today - shouldn't he?It didn't make Lu You hate him or be afraid of him, and the next meeting was smoothly arranged (although the time has not been set), and his identity did not arouse suspicion.

is a good start.

There was a slight sound from the edge of the platform.Qi Zhengyun moved his body slightly and sat up silently.The building is an old-fashioned residential building without an elevator, and the roof still has an unaltered water tank, a barn-shaped water tank wrapped in silver foil.The noise was coming from the other side of the tank and it sounded like a mouse was crawling along the outside of the pipe.

Qi Zhengyun sensed the faint aura of monsters.He thought of the monster that had slipped away in the grass at the school gate, and then he denied this guess.Although the person who has perfectly restrained his breath is bathed in the moonlight, he has no sense of existence. The shadow and the shadow cast by the water tank stretch side by side, like a quietly opened fishing net waiting for the prey to crash into it.

The sound was approaching.The poor little monster was obviously unaware of the danger that was close at hand.Qi Zhengyun waited, and calculated the distance by hearing: six meters, five meters... The squirming shadow circled around the side of the water tank, and the moment it appeared, a slender black shadow swiftly pulled it away from the ground and into the air Going out, accompanied by a "pop" like swatting a mosquito; the slender and sensitive front end of the shadow caught up with it in mid-air and entangled it, skillfully strangled the sunken circle like a neck, and dragged it He fell hard on the concrete floor.

Another "snap"—a puddle of solid-liquid mixture appeared on the cement platform, like some kind of tragic falling object.Qi Zhengyun retracted the tentacles in time, preventing the disgusting and smelly slurry from getting on the clean scales.He waited on the spot for a while, making sure that there were no more coming, then stood up and approached.

Qi Zhengyun could distinguish the gray fur and tiny teeth from the wet wreckage.He circled the pool of flesh and blood a few times, and after a few minutes of careful observation, he had to admit that he overreacted again: this was probably a slightly demonized mouse... the appearance and danger were the same as normal Rats in the wild are no different, and dead bodies don't cause any particular pollution.To put it another way: there is no way to pose a slight threat to Lu You, who is separated by several floors.

again.To be precise, it was the third time this night: the first time was a weasel scurrying through the grass by the roadside, and the second time was a sparrow trying to settle on the edge of the roof.Qi Zhengyun silently walked away from the dead mouse, and decided to let it dry in the sun tomorrow.He finally began to feel that his judgment mechanism for "danger" was probably adjusted too sensitively.

There is a not-so-obvious difference between this time-advanced world and the future experienced by Qi Zhengyun: There seem to be more little monsters that look like ordinary animals.The night became noisy, and there was a complex smell floating in the air, which annoyed Qi Zhengyun: like mosquitoes buzzing around his ears in summer night.They cannot transform into human form, nor are they restricted by the rules that prohibit hunting humans at will-the creators may feel that they have no way to treat humans as prey, so they don't bother to design any special rules for these lowly little guys.

It is difficult for humans to tell what is special about a mouse scurrying by our feet or a bird circling overhead.Monsters are everywhere, like cockroaches under the kitchen cabinet. Most of the time, humans live with them unconsciously.

Qi Zhengyun didn't know if the original past was like this.Maybe the natural enemies of these little monsters will appear in the future, and if they are hunted down, the city will become what he has seen before; or maybe this is another chain reaction triggered by his arrival, and the monsters he swallowed will turn into monsters. Because the pure energy disappeared, the monsters that should have been eaten survived.And when a slight disturbance is magnified on the time axis of several years or more than ten years, the final impact will be difficult to predict.

In the time and space when Qi Zhengyun did not exist, Lu You lived safely until he was 20 years old, until he encountered the car accident; if he came, it would lead to an earlier death... Thinking of this possible consequence, Qi Zhengyun could hardly bear to start now. Self-doubt arises.He stood on the edge of the platform, blowing the wind against the dark blue night, and sensed the presence of Lu You in the building below: Now that his power has weakened, he can no longer clearly hear Lu You's breathing from this distance and heartbeat, but this life that he was greedily paying attention to was still like a gentle burning fire in the darkness, at this moment, it was reassuringly emitting light in his perception.

What is Lu You doing now?Is he already asleep?Or are you previewing tomorrow's homework?Qi Zhengyun thought for a while, and remembered that tomorrow is Saturday and there will be no classes in school.He should let himself get used to those harmless monsters that often appear, and don't be surprised by any sign of trouble like a delusional victim, otherwise, when the contact increases, sooner or later Lu You will think that he is a control freak or a psychopath—but At the moment when the new monster breath appeared, Qi Zhengyun reacted unconsciously.

Part of the reason was that this aura seemed to appear right outside the window of Lu You's study.Therefore, in order to arrive quickly, Qi Zhengyun gave up the practice of walking down the stairs honestly "like a human being", and checked that no one around was looking this way, and turned over directly from the edge of the platform neatly.Tentacles that manifested from time to time clung to the water pipe or the edge of the window sill, causing him to fall steadily and quickly against the wall.

From the seventh floor to the third floor, this distance can be reached in an instant.But——that aura that appeared suddenly disappeared in such a short time.

left?Qi Zhengyun frowned slightly. Seeing the light from Lu You's window, he shifted slightly so as not to disturb him, and landed on the balcony next door.The breath appeared for a very short time, and the remaining traces were also very thin, and was blown away by the wind in a blink of an eye.Qi Zhengyun discerned a sense of deja vu from it: at the gate of the school, the monster that Lu You vaguely noticed also slipped away so quickly, and he didn't even see what it was with his reaction speed.

That thing...followed here all the way from school?

Although Qi Zhengyun didn't feel any danger from this aura, he remembered very clearly the last thing that entangled Lu You: that deformed centipede monster that only made him fall twice...according to the impact, it might be more than that.

Qi Zhengyun immediately raised the alert standard that he was going to lower just now, even higher than before.It is foreseeable that the miserable experiences of the little monsters passing by innocently in the future, Qi Zhengyun did not sincerely apologize to them in advance in his heart.But at the same time, he couldn't help worrying: According to this development, it seems irrefutable that his existence will attract monsters to Lu You like the death mark. In Lu You's original experience, it should be Didn't it happen to be stared at by strange things?

...Could it be that the monsters looking for food, like the humans hunting for sex, find prey that has already been paid attention to more attractive?

Qi Zhengyun shook his head, shaking this ridiculous idea out of his head.He still hasn't forgotten the reason why he noticed Lu You in the first place, it was because he thought Lu You smelled very delicious... It was inevitable that he happened to meet a monster who felt the same as him, and decided to participate in the competition under the influence of greed.There's no need to think too much, he just needs to grab that thing and dispose of it.

So Qi Zhengyun stood motionless on the edge of the balcony for a while, pretending that he was a decoration that had just been moved here, trying to see if that thing would think that the danger was over, and then sneak back.But a few minutes later, he saw the shadow reflected on the curtains of Lu You's study rise, and it seemed that Lu You, who was sitting in front of the desk, stood up, and then the light in the window went out.Qi Zhengyun heard the sound of a chair being pushed, and Lu You left the table with slippers on and walked towards the door of the room with some shuffling footsteps.

It's about eleven o'clock now, which is about the same time as Lu You prepared to rest yesterday - his schedule doesn't seem to have changed because tomorrow is the weekend.Qi Zhengyun felt that the thing probably wouldn't come, and even if it did, it would replace the window of the bedroom.He turned around and decided to follow suit—

Behind the sliding glass door of the balcony, the woman who had been about to draw the curtains for several minutes was watching him with complicated expressions.

…The downside of putting the aura of a specific monster in the "non-threat" list and getting used to having that aura nearby is that you mistakenly ignore it at moments when it shouldn't be.Zhou Chen stared silently, and Qi Zhengyun felt that if he appeared on the balcony of an ordinary person in the form of a sea monster, he would probably get such an expression.

Even though he was very proficient at wandering around Lu You like a ghost behind the scenes, Qi Zhengyun felt a rare bit of embarrassment with this expression.He was thinking about what to say at this time, Zhou Chen behind the glass door slowly let go of the hand holding the curtain, and then slowly pushed the sliding door open.The aluminum alloy door frame was slightly dented under the woman's slender fingers, she seemed to be trying very hard to overcome her fear and squeezed out a little sound from her throat.

"Although you may not care about this..." she said with difficulty, "but Lu You is only 16 years old now..."

Qi Zhengyun raised a hand before she could continue, preventing her from continuing. "You're thinking too much, I just came here to see if he's in danger. Also, I really 'care' about this." He added the accent to his words, suppressed expressionlessly and threw the woman out of the balcony The impulse, "I said, I will not hurt him."

Zhou Chen fell silent.She stared at the man standing on her balcony, as if she realized that the meaning of "will not hurt" was different from what she thought.Qi Zhengyun also stared at her, watching her hesitation and hesitating to speak, under the slight displeasure of feeling offended, he was actually not sure whether he wanted to hear her give a stricter warning—for this kind of concern for What does Lu You mean?But in the end, the woman said nothing more.She nodded slowly to Qi Zhengyun, then avoided her eyes and stepped back.

The sliding door and curtains were silently closed in front of Qi Zhengyun.Qi Zhengyun stared at his own reflection on the glass for a while, and for some reason felt that he seemed to have done something bad?He thought about it, but he really didn't think of any factors that would bring danger to Lu You, so he dispelled this illusion, and prepared to continue the security work interrupted by this accident.

Lu You didn't sleep well that night, and had several nightmares intermittently, and the fragments of each dream could still continue.He dreamed that a huge plant grew out of his window, just like the carnivorous flower in the rainforest-themed fantasy film, waving long thorny vines, and catching the birds passing by his window. , kittens, and people, grab them all, roll them up, put them in your mouth, chew them, chew them, eat them.

In the dream, he was living normally in the room, and he didn't notice anything wrong at all.Instead, he was dreaming from the perspective of a bystander, always trembling with fear, wondering when the monster would think of turning around and eating him.

Although exhausted from dreaming all night, Lu You struggled to get up when the alarm clock rang.He went to the bathroom top-heavy, and almost fell asleep standing up while brushing his teeth; when it was time to eat breakfast, he found that he forgot to buy the eggs in the refrigerator after eating yesterday.Lu You hesitated between the two options of eating bread slices and going out to buy eggs, and finally decided to eat small wontons at the breakfast stall at the gate of the community.

He brought change, changed his shoes, and planned to go for a walk in a nearby small park after breakfast to wake up his sleepy head.When I opened the door and went out, I happened to meet Aunt Zhou next door who was also going out to buy vegetables.Lu You said good morning as usual, and helped her carry the trash downstairs. Although she noticed that Aunt Zhou's attitude towards him seemed a little stiff, she didn't pay attention to this slight change.

They walked all the way to the gate of the community before separating.Lu You looked up at the light coming from behind the clouds, and already felt the warmth of the sun on a sunny day.Not far ahead is the table outside the door of the breakfast shop, and the steaming mist obscures the figure of the person sitting at the table.Lu You lowered his head again, walked a few steps forward, and saw a dark thing squatting in the grass by the roadside.

Little black cat?

Lu You wanted to take a closer look, but as soon as he moved his footsteps, the "kitten" seemed to be frightened, and ran away through the grass all at once.Lu You turned around and followed a few steps unwillingly, the grass blades were still shaking, but the "kitten" had completely disappeared.

"Lu You?" Someone called him from behind, and the moment Lu You heard it, a figure appeared in front of his eyes. Turning his head, he saw the side of the table that had been blocked by the mist before, leaning slightly to let him see Qi Zhengyun waved at him.He thought about it, regrettably chose the latter between the kitten who ran away somewhere and the person who was greeting him, and walked towards the table where Qi Zhengyun was sitting.
