The empty campus was silent. Although there was no one there, there was always a suffocating tension.

At some point, the fog under my feet seemed to thicken a little more.To be precise, it is the surrounding plants and trees, and every brick wall emits a gray-white mist. From a distance, the edges of everything are slightly blurred, as if separated by a layer of water waves.

Especially the ground is extremely obvious.

Yue Chenzhou walked past the playground, leaving a row of wet footprints on the dark red plastic track, which gradually disappeared after a long time.

Yue Chenzhou looked at the building with faint doubts on his face.

When he was quiet, his demeanor was actually indifferent and indifferent.This is a kind of coldness that has been washed out by tens of thousands of years and soaked in the bone marrow.He raised his head, and with a flick of his fingertips facing the wind, he picked up something from the mist. Looking carefully, his fingertips were covered with a layer of extremely fine sand.

Where is that vague opportunity?

This place is so close to Jinwu Jianglou's abode, if there is really a spiritual opportunity hidden, it is impossible for them to have never acted for so many years.

There is only one explanation, that is, this chance is the cause and effect of his Yue Chenzhou.

If so, when was the cause planted, and what kind of fruit did it bear?He exhausted his soul, went upstream against the flow of time, dug three feet into the ground, but was unable to find the last ray of life in the desperate situation, which was hidden in such a place... Is it possible?

Yue Chenzhou sighed, and waved away the messy thoughts in his mind, he paused out of the corner of his eyes, and realized that Jiang Qiao beside him had disappeared at some point.

Looking around, he was the only one left alone on the edge of the playground.

"..."

Yue Chenzhou just frowned slightly, not feeling too surprised, and even showed a funny expression: "...This brat, he slipped too fast."

He clapped his hands, shaking off the gravel that stuck to his palms, and walked half a circle around the building by himself.

Viewed from the outside, most of the rooms on the first floor had tightly-fitted curtains, only the guard room at the far end was lit, and there was no one inside.

Through the window, you can see the electric fan on, shaking your head silently.The entire wall on the other side is composed of countless small square screens. It seems that this place also serves as a monitoring room.

The beating light from the screen sprinkled on the table in front, casting the steam from the cup into a curling halo—the water in the cup was hot, and the person should have been gone not long ago.

I was in a hurry when I left.

But this has nothing to do with Yue Chenzhou, he just glanced at it and was about to leave.

But before he took a few steps, Yue Chenzhou's ears suddenly caught an extremely small sobbing sound.

He stopped, frowning.

Immediately afterwards, the subtle sobbing sound disappeared immediately, and what came to my ears was the deliberately light friction of clothes.If the person standing here was an ordinary human being, it would be impossible to hear such a subtle sound. However, Yue Chenzhou almost immediately recognized the direction of the sound, and subconsciously raised his head to look above his head.

At this moment, he met a pair of bright round eyes.

It was a boy as thin as a monkey.

He covered his mouth, and just shrank on the small window sill extending from the wall outside the window, trembling, seeing Yue Chenzhou looking over, his eyes were full of panic and almost overflowed from his eyes.

He was at a loss and moved to the side again, trying his best to shrink his body to an invisible blind spot, his trembling shoulders thinned into an obvious skeletal shape, and a pitiful shape protruded from under the clothes.

At this moment when he saw this boy, a strange premonition suddenly appeared in Yue Chenzhou's heart.

Just like a traveler walking in the desert suddenly sees a large expanse of greenery in front of him under hunger, thirst and fear, he is not sure whether it is a mirage imagined by himself or the last pity of God, so he can only let this chilling temptation Like death, it fills all my perceptions.

Extremely dangerous, but full of vigorous and upward vitality.

"You..." Yue Chenzhou moved his lips, and just about to say something, he saw tears falling from the child's eyes, and visibly flinched again, like a wild beast cub frightened by poachers.

From Yue Chenzhou's point of view, he could see some rapidly moving phantoms coming from the corridor behind him, it should be someone moving fast - it seems that there are quite a few people.

"Good guy, why did you think of hiding in such a place?" Yue Chenzhou saw the child's body shrinking tighter and tighter, and his feet were almost pressed against the edge of the window sill, and his heart shook violently: "You are so young, but you are so courageous." Big."

The child was no longer in the mood to stare at the stranger who suddenly appeared downstairs for some reason, because he could clearly hear eager footsteps behind him.

"did you find it?"

"What a waste... such a young child can't stand it."

"How would I know...that young master of the Qiao family is usually the most well-behaved, how could he know that he would run away?"

"What kind of family is the Qiao family! If something happened to his young master, we wouldn't be able to pay that brat in a few lifetimes! Damn... well, where can such a child go?"

"Did you... get scared two days ago?"

"What nonsense, let's get it back and coax it before we talk about it! These children from rich families are really troublesome, and I can't tell what kind of scars they left on their bodies!"

Hearing the sound from far to near behind him, the boy bit his lips tightly with his teeth, the hands covering his face trembled, and a slight cat-like moan escaped from between his fingers.

He regretted it.

Why run?Why don't I obediently stay in the ward?

Mom and Dad said that as long as I treat my illness well, I will be able to recover.

Qiao Que, you have grown up, you are the bravest child, you can't let your parents and brother worry.

but……

The treatment was too painful.It really hurts.

On weekdays, he closes his eyes and desperately recalls the taste of the cookies his brother bought for him, so that he can get through the long and painful treatment.

Sweet, strawberry-flavored, you can even eat the pulp inside.

But today, for some reason, even though he desperately chanted about the biscuit in his heart, the pain in his body was still pervasive, and even his entire mouth was filled with a bitter taste that was hard to ignore.

An indescribable premonition seized him suddenly.

I will die.

I must die.

I don't want to die...

If you die, you will never see your parents again!

He popped his eyes open from the wide, wired chair.

At this moment, a girl's broken voice suddenly yelled from the next room, accompanied by loud scolding and the sound of cups and plates falling to the ground, followed by muffled noises one after another.

The starting sound sounds blunt, but the ending sound is sharp and rising, which can instantly tear the air and make a "swoosh" sound.

Qiao Que is no stranger.

This is the sound of the specially made soft pointer whipping against the body.

Perhaps because of something wrong in the classroom next door, there was no one in Qiao Que's room.

Frightened by the continuous screams from the next door, he trembled all over, and tremblingly untied the restraint belt tied to his body - there was a small dial on it, which could only be unlocked by entering a password, which he had long ago A string of numbers is recorded in the back of my mind.

He leaned on the chair, stood barefoot on the cold ground, suppressed the endless panic in his heart with his last strength, stood on tiptoe, pressed the doorknob, and ran out quickly.

Qiao Que was so scared that he didn't even know how he hid in this place.

But he had nowhere else to go.

There was no sunlight in the sky in the afternoon, and the mist that escaped from the ground came from all directions and licked his ankles.

He glanced down helplessly, and then couldn't help but widen his eyes—he saw some gray shadows in the faint mist.

They are hidden behind trees, ponds, and even among the dead leaves piled up in the corner of the wall. With the rapid shrinkage and change of the fog, they either swell and fly, or circle around in place, just like one by one that has been separated from the body and is staring at it. ghost.

Just this one glance made the little boy's heart pound and he was too scared to speak.

"Qiao Que...don't look at it, don't look at it." He covered his ears, shrunk himself back again, and didn't notice that half of his body was tilted out, "It's all fake , It's all fake... It's all an illusion, it's not real, it's your fantasy."

The chaotic footsteps behind him were mixed with hasty shouts, passed through the boy's thin hands, and entered the ears, turning into a strange and sharp tone.

Among these sounds, Qiao Que caught a kind of friction sound caused by metal collisions, like metal wheels rolling across the ground, like sharp knives cutting flesh, and like the scythe in the hands of the god of death resting on the ground.

slap... slap...

Countless pictures and sounds were intertwined in his mind in a mess, like tens of thousands of black steel nails were driven into his head bit by bit, trying to kill the demon in his head.

"Woooo..." He couldn't help crying anymore, and opened his mouth to call out angrily: "Mom...Mom..."

The voice was so soft that only he could hear it, as if even the child himself called out to his mother out of instinct, without expecting any response.

"Have you found it? Where's the monitoring? Go adjust the monitoring!"

"Teacher Ge has already gone, but it will take some time to play back the monitoring."

"Transfer all the people from Building No. 2 here, I still can't believe it, a kid with a bigger fart can still fly under the nose!"

slap... slap...

Qiao Que heard Death's footsteps approaching from far away, bit by bit from the window beside his hand, and almost crawled past his earlobe.

Fear has made him unable to speak.

The frozen arm lost the last support, Qiao Que stared blankly at the seemingly invisible mist on the ground, and actually felt a drowsy feeling, as if the shadows gradually gathered in the mist raised their heads, unable to distinguish Qing looked at him from the beginning to the end of his face, grinned at him, and opened his arms.

Qiao Que's pupils lost focus at this moment, his thin and small body finally couldn't hold on any longer, his chin moved a little forward, and his whole body just fell down uncontrollably!
