End of Mystery

"Is this really a novice?"

When Jiang Cheng's broken body together with those twisted tentacles fell to the ground powerlessly, Yang Jia also mysteriously appeared at the door of the men's toilet.

Seeing Xiao Xiao standing in front of Jiang Cheng with a lens in hand, she seemed a little surprised.

Taking advantage of this time, she checked outside to make sure that the other people did not have "fade" phenomenon, and then rushed to help this ignorant newcomer solve the trouble. With the gun in her hand, she unexpectedly found that Xiao Xiao had already solved the problem by herself. Moreover, there was no tension or panic on his face that she expected.

He didn't even forget to make up the knife...

This neatness and simplicity surprised Yang Jia.

She discovered this newcomer by accident, and naturally wanted to observe the potential of this newcomer, so she gave him some time to be alone with the monster.

In my heart, I naturally hope that the higher his potential, the better, but looking at it now...

... a little too high?

...

The first time Xiao Xiao came into view of Yang Jia, he raised his head and glanced at her with a "swish", the lens in his hand was tightly clenched, and his whole body was tense.

After confirming that it was Yang Jia, he relaxed slightly for a moment that was barely noticeable.

He didn't know why Yang Jia had a surprised expression on his face, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.

It seems that he just escaped and killed in an instant, but to him, after a long time of thinking and psychological construction, he decided to kill this monster in order to protect himself.

In this case, of course, it must be fully implemented.

He didn't stand up slowly until he was sure that the monster in front of him was dead...at least the tattered heart was no longer beating. He looked down at the fragment of the mirror in his hand and threw it aside.

The heart was beating heavily like a drum, and the feeling of fear and tension rose from the bottom of my heart.

"Crack..."

At this moment, Yang Jia's applause sounded, and she walked into the bathroom slowly, looking at Xiao Xiao with strange eyes: "Your performance is very good."

"I……"

Xiao Xiao's voice was full of belated nervousness: "Did I kill someone?"

"No killing."

Yang Jia walked to Xiao Xiao's side calmly, took out a piece of medical stickers, helped him stick the wound on his hand, and said softly:

"The matter is not over yet, you just postponed the crisis."

"It's just that you just showed your anger, even these monsters will be slightly suppressed..."

"..."

Xiao Xiao only felt that the blood vessels in his brain were throbbing again. The prostration from the killing just now, the headache from exploding thoughts, and these weird nouns all made him feel deeply confused.

"Oh, why do you have so many whispers to say?"

At this moment, Xiao Xiao suddenly heard a laughing voice, turned his head to look, and was completely stunned.

I saw Jiang Cheng getting up from the ground, the torn skin on his body and the wound he had stabbed were recovering little by little, and those squirming tentacles retracted into his body, and as he stood up, he had turned back to his previous appearance. He walked to the sink as if nothing had happened, washed his hands, and smiled: "When we were in school, we thought you two had a story, and I guessed it?"

Listening to his words, Xiao Xiao felt that this world was extremely unreal.

It seemed that the fear and the extremely dangerous resistance I experienced just now were just hallucinations.

He subconsciously stayed away from Jiang Cheng, looked up at Yang Jia, but saw that she was smiling, and explained to Jiang Cheng calmly: "There are too many people inside, and I can't hear clearly."

"Isn't that what class reunions look like?"

Jiang Cheng smiled, dried his hands, and said, "Let's go, go back together, you have been out for so long, it stands to reason that you will be fined for drinking."

...

...

Xiao Xiao, Yang Jia, and Jiang Cheng returned to the box together, and everyone really coaxed them to punish them for drinking.

But Xiao Xiao only felt that everything in front of him was grotesque. He saw that the attitudes of the students had become very good. Although there were some dissatisfied glances that occasionally glanced over, they all had smiles on their faces when they talked to him.

Only the palm of my own hand, the wound that was still oozing blood faintly, proved that all this really happened.

The students were having a great time. Although Xiao Xiao didn't seem to be able to blend in with everyone's atmosphere, which made people feel a little disappointed, but no one said it, and suggested to sing later.

However, Yang Jia, who was the center of everyone's attention, seemed not interested.

After chatting with the people present with a smile for a while, he shirked and said: "We won't go to sing, Xiao Xiao has an appointment with me, and we still have some things to do later."

"ah?"

The students present were a little surprised and looked at Xiao Xiao with envious eyes.

Yang Jia has not been in touch with her classmates for four years, why is she still so familiar with Xiao Xiao?

Many people lost interest, so they bought the bill together and left the hotel. When Yang Jia took Xiao Xiao into her black SUV, the students watched enviously, and some whistled.

Everything is normal and outrageous.

"what on earth is it?"

When the car was far away from those classmates and drove up the street surrounded by bright neon lights, Xiao Xiao opened the car window, let the cold night wind blow on his face, and asked in a low voice.

"I can't explain it to you, I can only give you the answer."

Yang Jia held the steering wheel with one hand, smoked a cigarette with the other hand, tilted his head and lit it, and said softly: "As you can see, all the people living around us are no longer human in essence."

"Whether it's your friends or family members, they've already turned into another kind of creature... Maybe they should be called creatures. If you want to understand it as a demon or a monster, it's no problem. They still wear the human skin of the past, exist in the image in your memory, and even have the memory and self-cognition of those people you are familiar with, but in fact, they have all become distorted and hateful monsters..."

"Usually, they will still pretend to live by your side normally."

"But whenever the city starts to show ill will towards you, you will see their true colors..."

"..."

At this moment, as if an electric current surged through his brain, Xiao Xiao thought of his mother with cold eyes, and thought of the ubiquitous weirdness in this city.

"Then we..."

He opened his mouth, as if he had countless words to say, but it was difficult to form an effective question.

"This world, you forgot to call us when it was changing..."

Yang Jia seemed to know what he wanted to say, a mysterious smile curled up on the corner of her mouth, and said in a low voice: "This is not my hometown, you and I are both different..."

"..."

Xiao Xiao didn't know what to say. After a long time, he took the cigarette from Yang Jia's mouth and put it in his own mouth.

Originally he didn't smoke, but now he needs something to help him calm down his chaotic mood.

It was very difficult for him to accept what Yang Jia said just now, it was too terrifying and too crazy, and he was even more willing to believe that he was actually crazy and all he saw was hallucinations.

Yang Jia looked at Xiao Xiao who was coughing because of smoking, and couldn't help but smile, and said, "I know it's hard for you to accept."

"People who just woke up will be like you. They would rather believe that they are crazy than accept such absurd facts, but you have to admit that maybe you have already felt the abnormality in this world."

"..."

Xiao Xiao choked on the mint-flavored cigarettes, but he continued to smoke.

He couldn't help but think about Yang Jia's words, did he really realize that this world was abnormal long ago?

Speaking earlier, it was me who was abnormal...

Four years ago, parents chose to divorce, the family was broken, and Xiao Xiao's brain seemed to be broken suddenly in that summer.

He began to be overwhelmed by a great sense of panic for a long time, and he was plagued by strong dizziness. His thinking seemed to be broken inch by inch, and it was always difficult to form effective thinking and normal perception.

I have been to the hospital, but nothing was found. My parents, even the doctor, felt that I was faking it for a while.

Unable to tell others about his pain, he could only hide in his bedroom and spent four years learning to focus his attention.

He reads books, plays games, and even just sits in a chair all day long, learning to adapt to all these, and learning to control the sense of loss of control brought about by the strong sense of fear.

Finally, after four years, I decided to return to this world.

But someone told himself at this time that this world has been turned into a completely strange place by some unknown force?

"Okay, I know you still have a lot of questions in your heart, but for a newcomer, there are too many things I need to help you solve, and I can't explain it clearly in a while."

Letting Xiao Xiao fall into the chaotic thoughts, Yang Jia looked ahead, and after a long time, he smiled and said, "Well, I'll send you back first."

"I need to make some preparations to show you the world and tell you how to live in it."

"..."

"go back?"

Xiao Xiao suddenly felt great resistance in his heart. He thought of his mother's cold eyes and everything he encountered on the road, and he felt chills all over his body.

"Don't be afraid."

Yang Jia noticed the tension in his eyes, felt that this is what a rookie should look like, smiled, and said: "I said, if you solve Jiang Cheng, the world's malice and rejection of you will also be slightly eased."

"Of course, this is only temporary, at most two days, or even just a few hours, that kind of malice will strike again, even stronger than before."

"Not only Jiang Cheng, maybe everyone you meet will want to kill you!"

"..."

Listening to her words, Xiao Xiao's body froze slightly: "Then what should I do?"

"Relax."

Yang Jia smiled and said: "It's as if nothing happened, just wait quietly, I will look for you again."

"Relax?"

For a moment, Xiao Xiao even felt absurd: "In such a world full of monsters, you make me feel at ease?"

Listening to his words, Yang Jia suddenly smiled and replied: "In such a world full of monsters, what else can you do besides feel at ease?"
