"Clatter." A heavy rain fell without warning.
The intensity of the rain was strong, and the strength of the wind was even more amazing.
When the wind blows, the doors and windows make a loud cracking noise, and even the branches the size of a man's arm sway from side to side like flowers and plants that are being ravaged by others, while those thinner branches are directly broken under the double blow of wind and rain into two petals.
What's even more strange is that, even though it is summer, it is bitingly cold.
Zhou Ming was lying on his bed, facing the bedroom door and window.
His expression didn't change, he could even be said to be a little numb, and his eyes could be considered indifferent.
The whirring of the wind outside was so loud that it was hard to ignore, especially the repeated sound of doors and windows being flapped, which sounded annoying.
Since the school issued a suspension order, students were ordered to stay in the dormitory, and this happened to be the second day.
Zhou Ming stared in the direction of the window sill, staring out of the window intently, the fingers of his right hand kept rubbing the thumb of his left hand, looking a little dignified.
I don't know if he saw a flower when he stared out of the window, he retracted his gaze, and his eyes fell on Xiao Chen who was at the side.
Sitting on the chair, Xiao Chen was lost in thought, like a puppet with broken strings, a fragile work of art, giving people an indescribable feeling.
The corners of Zhou Ming's mouth rose slightly, a little unpredictable, and he crossed his hands in front of his chest. Before Zhou Ming could speak, Xiao Chen turned around with some premonition, and met Zhou Ming's looking eyes solemnly.
The air seemed to be a little frozen, and the two looked at each other for a full three seconds.
Finally, Xiao Chen broke the silence.
He withdrew his gaze, bangs half covered his eyes, it was rare for him today not to wear glasses, but chose to be invisible. Xiao Chen paused, and opened his lips, "Do you know the answer to the question you asked me last time?"
----- "Do you know what the essence of the world is?"
------"I have no idea."
------"I don't know either."
Zhou Ming's expression was slightly stagnant, his lips moved, and he supported his temples with his hands. The veins on his neck immediately burst out, as if he had grabbed a thread, but that thread suddenly broke.
Did he forget something
"I don't remember what question I asked you!" Zhou Ming paused and answered truthfully.
Xiao Chen frowned, hearing the words, as if he wanted to say something.
"Shh, don't talk." A man's voice appeared directly in his mind.
Xiao Chen was startled, his whole body trembled.
this voice...
He couldn't have heard it wrong.
It's Su Yan.
Because of this sentence, Xiao Chen successfully stopped all his actions.
The man's voice didn't just disappear as Xiao Chen thought, just like an auditory hallucination.
"Don't be afraid, wait a little longer, I will come to you!" The man's voice was indescribably bewitching, and just a few words calmed Xiao Chen's heart full of doubts and uneasiness. The anxiety that lingered in my heart also disappeared without a trace.
The man chuckled, with an unknown pampering, "Wait for me."
Well, wait for you.
"He's dead." A gust of wind blew and shook the treetops, and the ethereal voice reached the ears of the boy in hospital clothes.
The boy sat on the chair sluggishly, his eyes were dull, as if he was not interested in anything, and his whole body was a little numb.
His eye sockets were sunken inwards, and his glasses were even darker, as if he hadn't closed his eyes for several nights.
"he died."
The boy's ears moved slightly when he heard the words, his gums clenched tightly, his face was ashen, and his mental state was very gloomy.
"He's dead!" the voice repeated.
The boy looked very scary. He finally raised his head, his face was pale, his facial features were twisted together, and he looked a little hideous. He looked around and roared, "Shut up!"
The voice obviously didn't stop because of his words. Instead, it seemed to have discovered a new world, and continued to let out an ugly laugh. This laughter was terrifying, a bit like a baby crying.
"He's dead!!" Hee hee.
"He's dead!!!" Are you happy
"Koke Koke." Are you about to collapse
The boy's eyes were red with anxiety, and the whites around his gray eyes were bloodshot. He stood up suddenly from the chair, grabbed the chair he was sitting on just now, and smashed it hard at the window. , Like a crazy mental patient, he took two steps, rushed to the window, and even ignored his injury, directly smashing the glass with his fist violently.
And both of his boxers were still tied with bandages. As soon as he hit them, they ooze red, and the blood began to flow unstoppable again.
"His illness has a 50% chance of being cured, do you know?" The voice continued after laughing enough.
The boy's crazy movements stopped because of this sentence, his expression became dull, he swallowed like he was deceiving himself, and moved his Adam's apple.
—What is your wish
—I, I hope he gets better! Never be locked in that little house again.
—Heh, what do you use in exchange
—I, I don't know what to change.
— your life!
Something popped into his mind without warning.
The boy's already skinny back bent down without warning, his legs also bent slowly, and he knelt directly on the floor, making the sound of 'duang', and his body also began to curl up, his fingernails were hard on the floor Picking, as if he was greatly stimulated, he curled himself into a ball.
"What are you pretending to be? Didn't your illness get better soon? Why are you lying to yourself." The voice still did not forget to mock him.
The boy's gray eyes slowly changed from self-loathing at the beginning, and became more and more gloomy. His eyes were fixed on the big tree outside the window, and the shadow of the tree was reflected in his eyes.
"Ke Ke Ke Ke." The voice was still laughing hard to hear.
The boy's expression changed slightly.
go to hell! go to hell! Go to hell with me! !
I'm mad! None of you will survive! !
Another gust of wind blows.
The sparks that don't know where they came from were blown by the breeze and landed on the green tree outside the window.
First it hit a leaf, sparks slowly ignited and spread, and the whole tree was engulfed in raging fire with the momentum of stealing the bell.
And the original laughter in the air in the room began to change its tone, turning into piercing screams, very loud and even more shrill.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
"what have you done?!!"
The man's voice was extremely frantic, like a scapegoat who was dying, making a shrill and frightening cry.
But it will never know what's dead when it arrives.
The boy's gray eyes became deep, like a whirlpool that could devour people's hearts and souls.
—It doesn't matter, you exchanged souls with the devil for me, then, I will be the new devil.
Luo Xiaoxiao glanced left and right, her movements were a little cautious, she grabbed the corner of the wall with both hands, and poked half of her head out.
The rain was still falling crazily, and the raindrops kept hitting the ground.
When the strong wind blew, her hair was blown up casually, and she simply wore braids.
She took out her mobile phone from her pocket, clicked on something, and pressed the screen of the mobile phone a few times, as if she was sending a message.
Luo Xiaoxiao: I'm here, when are you coming
Luo Xiaoxiao's cheeks were a little red.
Her eyes looked around, and then returned to the phone screen.
Recipient: Zhou Ming.
It's like a girl in a boudoir waiting for the arrival of her sweetheart. Before the arrival of her sweetheart, she is full of infinite expectations for what will happen when they meet next.
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Chen almost forgot to breathe.
The wind howling outside the window was still blowing crazily, making loud noises.
In such a noisy environment, Xiao Chen could still clearly feel his heartbeat beating incessantly and where did the noise come from...
Breathing.
The sound of a male breathing.
But Xiao Chen was still at ease in his heart.
Although he had doubts, he still didn't ask why. He trusted Su Yan 100%, from body to heart.
But the other party chuckled lightly, and didn't let these doubts linger in Xiao Chen's mind for too long, and said directly, "Shh, don't be afraid, the higher-ups are patrolling here now."
Xiao Chen's expression was smothered.
above
Su Yan seemed to see through the question in his heart, and replied directly, "This is the mystery of this world."
He paused again and again, "This world is like a clock with a set time. It has a predetermined trajectory. No matter how the hour, minute, or second hands turn, they just reincarnate in this circle over and over again."
"The fate of a clock is nothing more than being sent to be repaired when it is out of balance, and the wrong place is adjusted to make it return to normal. Once it is irreparable and it becomes a broken clock, then it will be abandoned or even dismantled. .”
Xiao Chen's expression was a little dull, he seemed to understand, but he didn't understand.
Su Yan smiled, changed the subject, and asked suddenly, "Do you know why Wang Jingyi died?"
Xiao Chen shook his head truthfully.
But he will never forget the series of strange actions that Wang Jingyi did before his death.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen subconsciously covered his lips with his hand.
Wang Jingyi's abnormal behaviors were all done near the wish tree, and even the place where she died was very close to the wish tree.
Xiao Chen raised his eyes, an unknown light flickered in his eyes.
And he knew that that tree was related to Su Yan.
"Have you heard the story of the wishing tree?" Su Yan's tone was full of pampering.
Xiao Chen had some scruples, so he could only slightly nod his head.
Su Yan's voice was calm, as if explaining a certain fact without emotion, "Wang Jingyi felt unwilling after being abandoned by Li Da, and chose to exchange her youth for Li Da's death. After Li Da's death, she Her hair turned white overnight, so she foolishly used knowledge to exchange for her beautiful face."
Xiao Chen's expression moved slightly, a little complicated.
Su Yan chuckled again, "However, there is a price for exchanging with demons. Anyone who chooses to exchange with demons will be targeted by the higher authorities and die."
Xiao Chen frowned.
What the hell is up there
Su Yan paused, as if she was thinking about something, "The world above is beyond our reach, and our experience is actually just the talk of those above."
Su Yan sneered, "Zhou Ming also exchanged with the devil, did you know?"
Xiao Chen was horrified, and immediately looked towards Zhou Ming.
The latter was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling with dull eyes, his state was quite different from his usual appearance.
"So, next, he will die."
