After the two parted, Zhang Jue looked at the gate again, but could not find Ma Ruowen.
"Tsk—"
Zhang Jue smacked his lips.
In fact, he doesn't need to worry, no matter what kind of creature Ma Ruowen is, but he is a student now, if he can't find it today, he can just come to the school to look for it tomorrow.
But Zhang Jue had a hunch that something was going to happen.
He searched for that figure aimlessly on the street, and came to a small alley unknowingly.
An old man was burning paper money inside.
Only then did Zhang Jue remember that he seemed to have seen piles of ashes on the street just now.
He knelt down and asked, "Old man, what day is it today? Why are everyone burning paper money?"
This body temperature is obviously not Qingming.
The old man slowly threw the paper money in his hand into the fire. Under the firelight, the wrinkles on his face gave off a strange light.
"What day is it, don't you know when you look up?" The old man's voice was very deep and hoarse.
If it wasn't for Zhang Jue's courage, he would probably have been scared to pee.
Not caring about the old man's strange mood, he raised his head subconsciously.
Only then did I see a bright moon hanging above the sky.
Seeing the moon as white as a jade plate, Zhang Jue reacted immediately.
July [-]th, Hungry Ghost Festival.
Of course, many people would like to call it "Ghost Festival".
Zhang Jue doesn't care about ghosts or not. He is too sensitive to the moon now, especially this round of bright moon.
It was a full moon when he traveled back from the world of the Authority, and it was a full moon when he traveled back to high school from Doomsday Day.
Even if you think about it with your ass, you know that there must be some connection between the two.
With this discovery, Zhang Jue didn't intend to look for Ma Ruowen anymore.
After some twists and turns, he came to the top floor of Jianghai International Hotel, the tallest building in the city.
The top-floor terrace is actually closed to the outside world, but Zhang Jue has his own way.
Zhang Jue stood on the roof of the building, looking at the bright moon.
There is no such a saying: When you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.
Zhang Jue stared at the moon, and he could feel that the moon seemed to be looking at him too.
This bright moon is like a huge eye.
It was almost midnight.
Zhang Jue narrowed his eyes.
Because he saw that the moon began to gradually turn blood red.
And the other six figures have begun to appear around the moon.
really.
Even if he travels back, he still can't hide.
However, Zhang Jue didn't have any negative emotions. On the contrary, seeing the seven looming red moons, he even had an expected sense of relief.
He knew very well that he was close to the truth.
"What are you doing here?"
A deep voice sounded from behind.
Zhang Jue turned his head and saw Ma Ruowen standing behind him, the distance between them was less than one meter.
In this world, although Zhang Jue does not have any superpowers, his hearing and eyesight have been specially trained in a targeted manner.
Let alone a person, even if a mouse slipped away from behind, it could not escape his ears.
Ma Ruowen stood so close to him without arousing his vigilance. This alone can prove that the other party is unusual.
But Ma Ruowen didn't seem to want to harm him.
If he didn't make a sound, but stabbed a knife into Zhang Jue's back, Zhang Jue would probably be a corpse by now.
……
"What are you doing here?"
Ma Ruowen asked.
His voice was a little deep, not like an ordinary student at all, but a murderer full of resentment towards the whole world.
"Look at the moon." Zhang Jue smiled and said as a matter of course, "Student Ma Ruowen, what are you doing here again?"
"I'll also come to see the moon." Ma Ruowen said, and took a step forward, coming to Zhang Jue's side.
He also raised his head and looked at the seven red moons, with vicissitudes in his eyes.
Zhang Jue looked at his electronic watch, and the time displayed on it was 23:46:32 seconds.
There are still ten minutes before midnight.
"Your novel is well written." Zhang Jue suddenly smiled.
No matter what Ma Ruowen's identity is, as long as he can communicate, he has the confidence to get words out of the other party's mouth.
Ma Ruowen only said two words: "Thank you."
Zhang Jue said again: "Are you interested in publishing? My publishing house has horses."
Ma Ruowen shook his head.
After a while, he said again, "I want to write a book recently."
"Book title?"
"not decided."
"What about the story?"
"It's very vulgar. It's probably a story about the earth being occupied by a demon, and then a hero saves the world."
"Very good, what's the main character's name?"
"Not yet."
In the dark night, the two stood on the terrace of a high-rise building, discussing the content of the novel like very good friends.
Zhang Jue suddenly laughed.
"Let's call it 'Zhang Jue', Wang Yujue, how about it?"
Ma Ruowen nodded: "Not bad."
After a while, Ma Ruowen asked, "If you were the hero who saved mankind, would you sacrifice yourself for the sake of all mankind?"
"Me?" Zhang Jue smiled, "I definitely won't."
There is no standard answer to this question at all, and it is beyond reproach whether it will or will not.
But what surprised Ma Ruowen was Zhang Jue's attitude, he hardly hesitated.
Ma Ruowen turned her head: "Why?"
Zhang Jue shrugged: "Because I have a hunch that if I say I will, then the next plot will follow that plot."
While the two were talking, the time was already close to zero.
Although it was a summer evening, Zhang Jue could clearly feel that the temperature around him was gradually dropping. When he was speaking, white mist had even started to spray from his mouth.
But he noticed that Ma Ruowen didn't say anything.
He couldn't even feel the other person's breath.
The red moon in the sky was already approaching blood red, but no matter the people below were still living their normal lives, it seemed that no one could see this abnormal scene.
Zhang Jue glanced at his watch.
The time came to 23:55.
5 minutes until midnight.
"I should go." Ma Ruowen said suddenly.
"Wait--"
Zhang Jue wanted to stop him, but suddenly found that he couldn't move, and could only watch Ma Ruowen disappear into the end of his sight.
After Ma Ruowen disappeared from sight, Zhang Jue regained control of his body.
He didn't go after Ma Ruowen because he knew very well that the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.
Now he is just an ordinary person, and he has no capital to compete with the opponent.
But he still couldn't figure out what this Ma Ruowen wanted to do.
He glanced at his watch again.
The time has come to 23:59:50.
10 seconds to zero.
9.
8.
7.

1.
The sky was instantly covered by a huge black shadow.
The dark figure appears as a bust of a man, wearing a cloak.
Zhang Jue felt that his head was being impacted by a very powerful mental force, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.
……
When Zhang Jue woke up, it was the next morning.
He rubbed his eyes and realized that he was still standing on the rooftop of the hotel building.
It was foggy all around.
Zhang Jue instantly became alert.
It reminded him of when he first came back to this world.
Is the end also coming in this timeline?
Zhang Jue hurried downstairs, but as soon as he entered the elevator, he smelled a very strong smell of blood.
This is not a good sign.
He went downstairs and found corpses all over the hotel lobby.
There are employees who are in uniform, and there are tourists who come to the hotel.
Their deaths were all very miserable. Some had their throats bitten off, and some had their stomachs cut open.
Fingernail scratches all over the body.
So many people seem to have killed each other.
There is another one who is not dead, lying on the ground panting heavily.
