Codex of Powers

Seeing that Gao Xia started to run, the man followed suit.Gao Xia looked at the elongated shadow of the man on the wall and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Now Gao Xia was sure that the person who came was not a good person.Gao Xia ran desperately, and within a few steps, he heard the urgent voice of the man behind: "Young man, don't run! You lost your things. Young man! Don't run away!"

Gao Xia froze for a moment, then stopped.Then he turned around and saw that the man was holding his wallet in his hand, and then he fumbled in his butt pocket, but there was nothing there.

When the man came to him panting heavily, Gao Xia scratched his hair in embarrassment, and the man complained, "I said, why did you run so fast when you saw me? Why did you run so fast like you saw a ghost? You hurt me so much Afterwards, I ran as hard as I could, and the more I called you, the faster I ran." Then he handed over the wallet and said, "Check it yourself, and see if there is anything missing."

Gao Xia took the wallet, opened it for a look, then closed it, and said, "I'm sorry. I was rushing home, but I didn't hear you."

The man waved his hand and said, "Forget it. You are alone. Go back early."

"Okay. Thank you." Gao Xia said.

"It's okay, it's okay, you left in a hurry, you even forgot your wallet on the table, I saw you didn't go far, so I chased you over. Who would have thought that you would walk so fast and cause me to run across the street." The man looked at him, a little puzzled.

It is impossible for Gao Xia to explain to him that he regards him as a ghost, thinking that he wants to 'eat' him.He said that he would definitely be admitted to a mental hospital the next day.Gao Xia chuckled for a while, and said, "Am I running fast? Since I was a child, I have been the last runner in our class. Hahaha..."

"Forget it. I'm relieved to return the wallet to you. Be careful when you go back." The man still waved his hand, and then said goodbye to him.

Gao Xia said thank you again, then turned and walked back.After walking a few steps, the man stopped him again.

"Boy, wait."

"Huh? Is there anything else?" Gao Xia turned around.

The man stepped forward, approached him, hesitated for a moment, frowned, and said with a preoccupied look, "There are some things I don't know whether to say or not."

Why is it so mysterious, it should be said or not.Gao Xia thought in his heart, but seeing that he was not a bad person, and he returned his wallet, he had to listen anyway, so he said, "Speak up. It's okay."

The man hesitated for a moment, looked at him and thought for a while before whispering: "Young man, you'd better be careful these days. Because you will die in less than a hundred days."

"Dead?" Gao Xia asked suspiciously, "Me?"

"Well. It's you." The man said seriously, with a troubled expression on his face, "Have you encountered any strange things recently? For example, have you seen something you shouldn't have seen?"

Gao Xia raised her heart.It can't be said that he is talking nonsense, so he nodded honestly.

"Be careful in the future, and be careful of those strangers who suddenly approach you, or people you just met. If nothing happens, you can live for about a hundred days, but this last time is also the most dangerous time. Many All the 'things' are staring at you, staring at you. Be careful, don't make yourself unable to live for the remaining [-] days, okay, let's go after the last three months." The man finished , ready to go.Gao Xia hurriedly pulled him back, and asked worriedly: "Uncle, don't leave first, who do you think is eyeing me like a tiger?"

"That's all I can say. If you don't understand the rest, it's better to be nice to you." After speaking, the man was about to leave again.

"Tell me about it! Why do I have less than a hundred days left? How did you find out?" Gao Xia lost her mind in a hurry, and held on to the man.

"Your smell is too strong, please restrain yourself in the future. Otherwise, more and more unclean things will gather." The man said.

"What smells?"

"soul."

"Soul?" Gao Xia suddenly remembered what Zimeng said, as expected that monster wanted to eat him!Gao Xia turned pale with fright, stopped the man and asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me who you are? Why do you know so much?"

"It's inconvenient for me to tell you who I am, but you should be careful. I think you should have experienced a dangerous thing two days ago. If you have one experience, you can refuse it next time. Go back and have a good rest and pay attention to exercise. "After finishing speaking, the man smiled at him, handed him something, and said, "I can't help you too much, that's all I can do, hold this carefully, it will be useful at critical times .” After speaking, the man left.Gao Xia was left standing alone under the dim streetlight.

Gao Xia watched the man disappear at the turn, and looked at a black cube in his hand. There was a small hole on the top of the cube, like a pinhole, and the hole was also completely black, so he couldn't see anything. 'Why is it all black?In fact, this is a lump of black unknown object? Gao Xia thought, shook it, but there was no sound, it was solid inside.

Gao Xia returned home, put the black cube under the pillow on the bed, and went to take a bath.

Although Gao Xia didn't want to believe what the man said, but he couldn't help but believe it, it really felt like shit to accept the reality that he was going to die all of a sudden.Moreover, he always felt that his life had just begun, and there were still many things that he hadn't had time to do or think about.And now to accept that in three months he will have to say goodbye to the world he loves to hate?So fucking cruel!Is there anything more fucked up than this?

After taking a shower, Gao Xia felt much more relaxed. I don't know if the hot water washed away his heaviness in the body and mental fatigue, and he became fuller.

'It's useless to think too much. It will be three months before I die. Let's talk about it after today. Gao Xia comforted himself like this, and then lay down on the bed, sometimes he even admired his Ah Q spirit.

Lying on the bed, Gao Xia couldn't help thinking about it again, and couldn't fall asleep for a while.After a while, Gao Xia remembered what he had forgotten, and called Zi Meng a few times, but no one answered.

Gao Xia got out of bed and walked to the attic.Even if Zimeng hears it and doesn't want to talk to him, he can ignore him until he feels like air, and he can't do anything about him.With his personality, if Gao Xia called him so impatiently, he would most likely pretend to be deaf.Gao Xia moved to the attic, yelled a few times in a good temper, but no one answered, then he sighed and climbed up.

The stairs in the attic made a 'click' sound, Gao Xia carefully lifted his feet.He waited until he had climbed the last step before looking up at the attic.

The attic was very narrow, as it was the first time he saw it.There was a thick layer of dust on the ground, and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned for several years. It was empty, let alone a bed, not even a chair.How did Zimeng sleep?Could it be that he sleeps suspended in the air every day?Gao Xia was a bit puzzled, he didn't know how he lived in this attic, and it didn't look like someone lived.

Gao Xia was a little disappointed and went down to the attic, and walked back, he always felt a little strange, but he couldn't think of anything strange at the moment.Why did I go to the attic just now?Gao Xia asked himself, and then he suddenly remembered.I was looking for Zimeng!But he's not in the attic, so where is he?Where did he go in the middle of the night?

It was so dark outside that I couldn't see anything. There were no stars like sesame seeds in the black night, let alone the moon.

Gao Xia's mood is a bit like the sky now, gloomy and heavy, and he can't shake it off even for a while.Gao Xia lay down a little irritable, he had no good luck today, an uncle he didn't know first said inexplicably that he was going to die, and then the enigmatic Zimeng disappeared in the middle of the night.Maybe he was too careless, but Zimeng didn't tell him the truth.He didn't know it from the beginning to the end, like an outsider.This annoyed him a lot.

Gao Xia tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, she was a little worried about Zimeng, wondering if she was going out to look for him.But immediately he dismissed this idea, judging from the skills of the previous two times, Zimeng didn't need his help at all, as long as he didn't hold him back.Now he really can't figure out where he went, but since he doesn't know him at all and can't guess, his business is none of his business.
