not sad planet

It was cloudy again, and the sky showed a low-saturation gray, which seemed depressing and dull.

The students in the classroom are in class, and the teacher on the stage is very absorbed in speaking, spit and stars are flying.Liang Shu tucked his head into the collar of his down jacket, paced back and forth in the corridor, and glanced in from time to time.

The cold air inhaled into his lungs had little calming effect, and he still felt irritable.

Yu Ling's seat was on the side near the corridor, near the window.

He was doing questions or reading books almost all the time, not listening to what the teacher was saying, and keeping his eyes on the books all the time.Occasionally stopping to take a rest, the black pen between the fingers is drawn from the thumb to the little finger, turning so fast that it is dazzling.

Even Liang Shu didn't know that he still had this skill.

When get out of class was over, someone came to Yu Ling's desk with a paper and asked questions he couldn't write, but he miraculously didn't show any impatience.

Liang Shu stood outside and secretly observed the two classes.Logically speaking, how could a man who was clearly not a student stay outside the classroom for so long without attracting attention.But from the beginning to the end, no one looked at him.

Is it a special mechanism of this world?

He seemed to become invisible, merging with the transparent air.

Taking advantage of the large number of people between classes, Liang Shu tried to stop a boy who came out to go to the toilet.

"Is there something wrong?" The boy wore a pair of glasses and his expression was a little dull.

"What class do you have next?"

"biology."

"Thank you."

The boy nodded to him and left.

"Hey, classmate." Liang Shu stopped another girl who was passing by.

"Is there something wrong?" The girl had short hair that reached her ears, and her face was dull when she turned her head to look at him.

Liang Shu was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's okay."

The girl nodded, then turned and left.

In this world, it seems that except for certain people, there are all NPCs without thoughts and independent will.Is it only in this world, or... it has always been like this, but he didn't notice it before?

Similar answers, similar expressions.Monotonous and repetitive, with dull tones, just like Yu Ling's high school life.

It is also very similar to the character settings in Yuling's comics.

Something flashed through his mind, and Liang Shu suddenly remembered the NPC theory in Yu Ling's comics.

The reason why Yu Ling's comics are popular is nothing more than novel ideas and weird painting style, and the character setting has been criticized by many readers.In most of his works, he does not give too much emotion to the characters. All the characters except the protagonist are background boards. Sometimes even the protagonist is just a tool to present the story. It is monotonous and flat, without any distinctive personal characteristics .

Liang Shu didn't have any special opinion on this. For him, reading comics was a pastime when he was bored. He didn't need to put in too much energy, nor would he think too deeply.

However, after Yu Ling once again killed an important supporting role, Liang Shu, who had been chasing the series, finally couldn't help it, and ran to Yu Ling pitifully, "Can he not die?"

Yu Ling looked at his face about to cry, thought for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "It's okay, but he's dead, so I can't bring him back to life."

"Resurrection!! How can the man I love the most die so suddenly!" Liang Shu said excitedly.

"It's just an NPC, there's no need." Yu Ling returned to his coldness.

"Is such an important person an NPC?" Liang Shu couldn't believe it. "Do you mean that, except for the protagonist, everyone else is an NPC?"

"It can be understood in this way," Yu Ling added, "including the protagonist."

"I understand. Your worldview is—everyone except you is an NPC."

Yu Ling did not refute.

So Liang Shu took him as his acquiescence, and asked again: "Then you are also an NPC yourself?"

"I just entered this world by mistake, and after completing the mission, I will return to my original dimension." Yu Ling answered him in this way.

The voice was calm, and the expression was serious as if he was talking about some cold joke.

... This is too high school, as expected of a man who has been influenced by Japanese comics since he was a child.Liang Shu suppressed a smile and asked, "Return to your Two-dimensional?"

"Any dimension, as long as it's not here."

"Then how do you complete the task?"

"Live the life you deserve."

Liang Shu was silent for a while, and then said again: "What are the tasks? For example, for example... Is falling in love and getting married a task?"

"It's a task, but not a necessity in life."

……

It seems that it was at that time that he realized that he liked Yu Ling.

Liang Shu stood outside the classroom, thinking wildly that maybe Yu Ling was originally a dog, but turned into a human by accident, broke into the human world by mistake, and returned to his dog world after completing the mission.This explanation seems reasonable.

So does Yu Ling in this world really exist?

He tried to knock on the glass window, but the people in the house were still doing what they should do, without any response.

There was a black hand-painted Harry Potter ceramic mug on the window sill. Liang Shu stared at the pattern on the mug for a moment, thinking that it should belong to Yu Ling.

The get out of class bell rang and rang, and it rang again, and it was noon in a blink of an eye.Liang Shu was very depressed, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only worry outside, so anxious that he wanted to bang his head on the windowpane.

Crowds of students passed by Liang Shu. After lunch, they went back to the classroom to continue their studies. They were in a hurry and did not take a nap at noon. Liang Shu felt tired for them.

It is a kind of luck for him not to have experienced such a horrible high school life.

Liang Shu had made a decision in his heart, and stopped Yu Ling from explaining everything after school, even if he was regarded as crazy, otherwise it might be too late.

Liang Shu went to the rooftop again, which is a place Yu Ling often comes to. He said that if he lost something here, he might be able to find some clues.

I sat behind the railing for a while, then searched around, rummaged through the drawers of several old desks, but found nothing, but my hands were full of dust.

Liang Shu clapped his hands to wipe off the dust, turned around and saw Yu Ling standing at the door staring at him.

The door to the roof was not closed, and Yu Ling came silently, without making a sound. He didn't know when he came, and he didn't know how long he stood there.

He seemed to have just woken up, the corners of his eyes were drooping, he was not energetic, and his eyes looking at Liang Shu were still a little distracted.

Liang Shu suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and smiled at him, "Just woke up?"

"Yeah." Yu Ling nodded and walked over.

I didn't hear the get out of class bell just now, that is to say, it should still be class time.Liang Shu asked again: "No class?"

"The teacher has something to go out, so let's go to self-study." Yu Ling became more talkative, explaining: "The classroom is too stuffy, I'll come up to get some air."

"Have you still not found your things?"

"No," Yu Ling said slowly, "I probably can't find it."

The faint sparks lit up, emitting a faint light, and Liang Shu watched Yu Ling skillfully lit a cigarette.

With a loose expression, he leaned back and leaned against the railing.

Seeing this, Liang Shu rubbed his fingertips, and even took out a cigarette from his pocket, leaned over, and lit it on Yuling's fire.

He didn't inhale, but just held it in his hand, as if he could draw closer to Yu Ling in the light smoke.

"You really don't know Ji Shutao?"

Yu Ling turned to look at Liang Shu with a delicate expression, "What's your relationship with her?"

"No, it doesn't matter."

"Really?" He looked at Liang Shu suspiciously, "I heard that name before today."

Yu Ling continued: "Do you know that she is missing?"

"what?!"

Liang Shu's heart was suddenly empty, as if something suddenly collapsed.

"The police came to the school to investigate, and they called the teacher away for questioning," Yu Ling said indifferently, biting a cigarette between his teeth, and spoke in a muffled voice, "That's why we switched to self-study."

There was a half-open window on the attic on the roof, Yu Ling glanced at the window glass, and saw his own shadow reflected on it, with no expression on his face.In the gradually darkening twilight, his complexion looked even paler.

"Follow me to find someone." Liang Shu grabbed his wrist with a firm tone.

"Looking for Ji Shutao?" Guessing who he was looking for, Yu Ling was unavoidably surprised: "I really don't know her, I've never met her before, I need you to find her."

Liang Shusheng dragged him downstairs, "You have to go!"

Even though Yu Ling in this world has never met Ji Shutao until now, Liang Shu is still very disturbed. Even if history cannot be rewritten, he still cannot stand by and watch a life disappear.
