Transfer between classes.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Loki stretched out his long arms and pushed me in front of the locker.

He is tall and handsome. Since he "transferred", he has become a well-deserved figure in Changjie Middle School. He has a halo and gaze everywhere he goes.

There was a wall-dong in front of everyone, making the surrounding students silent for a moment, and then stepped back a few steps in twos and threes to enter the theater-watching mode.

Loki was only a few tens of centimeters away from me, so close that I had to raise my head slightly to meet his gaze.

The Aragorn-like face hangs down slightly, under the shoulder-length black hair, blue eyes as deep as the sea stare at me solemnly.

"It's such a big deal."

Loki spoke in a low voice, his tone full of grief and worry.

"Why don't you tell me, Nicole," he said, "know how worried I am about you?"

"..."

If he doesn't catch horses for a few days, he must be addicted to drama!

It's as if I'm some kind of Cinderella heroine who takes care of family affairs by herself, is struggling and insists on studying and making progress.

Having him there has really affected my campus life experience.

in particular……

Recalling what Fernando and my dad teased yesterday, I feel a little guilty for no reason.

"I like catching horses so much, go to the drama club to report!"

Under his gaze, I lifted the backpack directly and slapped him on the face.

I couldn't see the face of "Aragorn", and my pressure suddenly became much less: "Is there anything to say alone."

I "photographed" Rocky out of the teaching building with a backpack.Now he no longer has nothing to do with me, just walked out of the basketball hall one after another.

"Taking advantage of the break," I put down my backpack, "Say what you have to say quickly."

Loki took out his phone and showed me the screen.

What he opened was the mysterious substance in the alley near my house last night.

"Fernando sent it to me," Loki said, "it's so mysterious."

"Fernando really has your contact information." I couldn't help but be speechless.

"Haha."

Rocky laughed a few times: "Don't remind me of the memory of him coming directly to the door. The FBI's arrest of a felon is nothing more than that."

It was Fernando's style.

However, Loki's complaints are complaints, and he didn't take it to heart.

In Norse mythology, Loki was either killed and caught, or he talked to the gods.In short, his treatment has not been very good, and he is probably used to it.

"Speak the truth."

Loki took back the phone: "Based on the clues provided by Apollo, I think that the 'this thing' hovering around your home is probably the real appearance of the Outer God, or when there is no entity under the Outer God."

Me: "Then, isn't this just coming directly to the door?!"

Hey near my house!

It's still like this... It's a strange, unidentifiable form of existence.

I couldn't help swallowing my saliva.

Don't blame me for being timid, this is too similar to the setting of the horror movie I watched with Meryl, okay?

In Meryl's favorite horror movie, ghosts, zombies, and serial murderers are the lowest level of scaring.If the horror division ranks, this is the novice level.

After all, whether it is a zombie or a murderer, at least they all have entities.

The scariest thing is those things that have no substance.

Unexplainable natural phenomena, mysterious radio waves whose source has not been found, and perhaps unknown traces.

It is precisely because I don't know what it is that it looks even more terrifying.

"Not so much."

Seeing me getting nervous, Loki slightly disliked it: "If you want to say that I came to the door, wouldn't it be here a long time ago. It's just that you haven't noticed it before."

Isn't it discovered now!

He said he was being watched, and there was always a line of sight around him.

I can't feel it, so I just listen to it.But now aware of the existence of "that thing", it is another matter.

"And you found out with Meryl," Loki thought for a while, "She didn't respond, did she?"

How could there be no response.

Meryl is more confused than I am.

I didn't have time to explain yesterday, and she stopped me at my door early this morning.

"She asked me what was going on, and I said I didn't know," I said to Rocky, "It's something Fernando has been investigating, and my godfather has an obligation to keep it secret."

Write more that Meryl is not only a nerd, but also a nerd of the radio system.

In her eyes, my godfather Fernando has always been a mysterious figure at the level of an agent.

I used his excuses to prevaricate, and to Meryl, not only was it not perfunctory, but it was particularly convincing.

She muttered something like "the government is hiding supernatural research from us", and then chose to shut up.

"Meryl is easy to talk about," I promised, "she's not that interested in real life, just now she asked me if I would like to watch the live broadcast of the E3 exhibition together at night, and she also talked about a new work called death or something... what stranded Be sure to watch the preview."

"Death Stranding?"

"exactly."

I nodded: "Meryl is a big fan of producer Hideo Kojima!"

Because of Meryl's nagging all day long, I have recited the love and hatred between the legendary producer Hideo Kojima and his old club Konami.

"Um……"

Loki frowned slightly: "It's strange."

how do I?"

Loki: "It's okay, let's talk about the key points first."

Me: "Huh?"

Loki took out the evil Aragon cotton doll from his pocket: "Do you want it?"

what?

I froze for a moment, not realizing what he wanted to do.

"Finally 'that thing' showed up...I want to see if He acts because of our actions," said Loki, handing over the cotton doll, "There is still a trace of a video game on it." I can sense the divine power. Why don’t you try fishing and law enforcement? But think about it, Nicole, it might be a little dangerous.”

I'm not stupid, I understand what Loki means.

If "that thing" really acted because of the action of the old god, then I carry a cotton doll with divine power with me, and he or his subordinates will definitely appear.

Maybe I will say goodbye to the peaceful daily life of ordinary people.

but……

You can't sit still, can you?

If the concept of "outer gods" only stays in Loki's bragging, I still feel a little far away.

However, strange things came to me.

I gritted my teeth and took the cotton doll.

"Try it," I said, "then you have to keep an eye on me."

Loki flashed a broad smile.

Facing Aragorn's face, he tilted his head, his dark blue eyes narrowed slightly, such a smile could almost dim the sun in the sky.

"That's natural."

He promised solemnly: "You don't know how important you are, Nicole."

If he hadn't listened to the summary of the past, he would have thought that his affectionate appearance was a confession.

However, I understand it too well, and this period of getting along is enough for me to figure out Loki's routine.

Avoiding the handsome appearance of "Aragorn", I reluctantly twitched the corners of my mouth: "You are afraid that my father and Fernando will kill you!"

Rocky smiled: "Hey, some words are so clear, how boring is life?"

…………

……

In terms of fun, risking your own life is not fun enough.

I hung Aragon's cotton doll on my backpack and took it to and from school for several days, and I made Meryl complain about "you're so freaking out all of a sudden".

After a few days of trepidation, the E3 exhibition was not long past, and the time to come finally came.

To be honest, when I saw the "thing" suspended in mid-air in the alley, like fog and light, and like gasoline refracting sunlight, I was relieved.

How should I put it, it feels like the condemned prisoner finally knows the date of his execution.

I stopped, took a deep breath, and turned my head into the empty alley.

It was not evening yet, and the sun was still hanging overhead.That thing was floating in mid-air, and the colorful refraction changed direction from time to time, as if it was alive.

I approached cautiously, and when I was five or six steps away from "that thing", the surrounding scene changed.

To be precise, "that thing" has changed.

The colorful substances suddenly skyrocketed.

In the blink of an eye, "that thing" seemed to open its mouth wide, and "swallowed" the sundries around the alley.

It happened so fast that I couldn't react for a while.

When I realized that the situation was wrong, "that thing" seemed to have grown up and expanded in front of me.

Depend on!

I backed up several steps in succession, but the speed of backing couldn't keep up with the speed of "that thing" expanding.

Seeing "that thing" "jumping" towards me, almost touching my skin——

A strong force came from behind, pulling me backwards suddenly.

The sudden force made me stagger and take several steps backwards.But instead of obeying the laws of physics, my backpack "flyed".

In my busy schedule, I turned my head and saw that the hanging cotton doll was struggling uncontrollably.

"Why did you hang me on the backpack?!"

The cotton doll opened its mouth, and Loki's voice came out: "Put me down!"

I:"……"

If you don't hang you on the backpack, you won't be able to get out if you put it in the backpack!

Seeing that "that thing" was about to swallow me, Loki the cotton doll sighed impatiently.

"So be it!"

The next moment, I felt myself falling into a warm embrace.

I looked up and saw Loki's face with a slight smile.

He supported me with one hand, and the other finger pointed to the expanding "that thing."

Loki tilted his head slightly.

"After so many years," he looked at "that thing" in front of him, "I finally caught you."

When the voice fell to the ground, the earth-shattering divine power spread.

——It may not be appropriate to describe it as "earth-shattering".

Because the surrounding scenery has not changed.

I can clearly feel a powerful force erupting from the inside of the god's body behind me.

This force is like a wave that I have endured for a long time, washing over all my senses in an instant, and "bumping" into the expanding "that thing" in front of me with unquestionable force.

Visible to the naked eye, "that thing" stopped, and the colorful refraction shook, like glass that had been impacted, shattering one by one.

The light-like mist in mid-air peeled off, revealing what a normal space should look like.

but……

I looked down and found that the debris swallowed by "that thing" was gone.

If Loki didn't show up in time, wouldn't I also—

"All right."

Loki's arm behind him pulled me up hard.

He just lowered his head and looked at me.

There was an almost undetectable tenderness on the face of "Aragorn": "Want to learn? I can teach you."
