The two sent Uncle Feng back on the pretext of going to a group discussion at a classmate's home.
Ji Xingling took Lin Jing around to the back alley and asked him, "Have you climbed over the wall before?"
"No, why do you have to climb over the wall? I always pretend to be sick when I leave school." Good students are so obsessed with confidence that they can even pretend to be sick.
But this time, he could no longer ask the teacher to sign a leave note. Lin Jing glanced at the low wall and threw the schoolbag to Ji Xingling.
The young master was still asking, do you want to step on my hand? Teacher Xiao Lin had already sat on the top of the wall on a broken bicycle.
"..."
Lin Jing asked calmly: "Then, how do I get down?"
Ji Xingling didn't understand this profound question, so he answered puzzledly: "How to get down to what, turn it down."
Lin Jing's expression was complicated, to tell the truth, I'm a little rusty in this area of business.
Ji Xingling realized later, "Puff" laughed out loud: "You can only go up but not down?"
"Hurry up!" Mr. Xiao Lin was a little bit annoyed, it was very embarrassing for me to ride here!
Ji Xingling carried the schoolbags of the two of them, climbed up neatly, and jumped into the school first.
"Come down, I'll follow you." He opened his hands.
Lin Jing closed her eyes, holding the mentality of "boyfriend is a monster, he is omnipotent, he is super fierce", and poked straight down.
Ji Xingling didn't expect him to be in such a straight stick posture, and almost failed to catch him: "Hey, can you be softer?"
"Why should you be softer, don't men be harder?"
"... No, you don't want to be late at midnight all of a sudden, I'm not ready yet."
"Put me down." Lin Jing patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go find Grandpa Dashu."
This is the first time the two have sneaked into the campus late at night. The small playground is dark and quiet, but the Dongshan Building is brightly lit. There should be workers doing indoor demolition. The whole sky is green. Waste trucks came in and out, workers in hard hats were everywhere, and there was a lot of dust.
"The street lights over the garden are also on." Lin Jing lowered his voice, "If we pass by now, those people will definitely find us."
"Come on!" Ji Xingling took his hand and ran like the wind in the night.
They first went around behind the office building, then through the stadium, then dug out the waste equipment room, and finally hid in a shadow.
And the old tree is not far away.
Lin Jing never thought that there would be such a strange route, he said out of breath, "Ji Xingling, you are really amazing!"
You brother Xing calmly concealed that this was his rich experience in escaping from school, and expressed it coolly, it's a small thing.
But recently, I can only go here. A team of workers are smoking and chatting in front of the garden, and there is an extra string of light bulbs next to it, so that the lighting is omni-directional and has no dead ends.
Lin Jing asked: "Is it impossible for them to stand here all night?"
"No, it's too cold at night." Ji Xingling grabbed his hand and stuffed it into his school uniform pocket to keep warm, "I'll find a friend to go to the tree and ask."
"A monster friend?"
"Yeah." Ji Xingling paid more attention to this aspect. Even though he already liked Mr. Xiaolin very much, he didn't reveal the little brother Wangyoucao - after all, the identity of the monster is still very private. He was just about to make a call to Ge Hao, but was pulled by Lin Jing: "Wait a minute, it seems that someone is here."
A building materials truck stopped at the end of the runway, and a dozen people jumped down from it. The leader was a man in a black sportswear. Ji Xingling said, "It's Wei Li."
"Xinli's boss?" Lin Jing was surprised, "It's so late, what is he doing here?"
Within a few minutes, the workers at the other end of the Dongshan Building also began to walk in groups.
This is obviously not a necessary process for demolishing the old building. Seeing more and more people gathered near the garden, Lin Jing became more and more anxious: "They came here for the big tree, right?"
"Don't panic." Ji Xingling looked from a distance, not sure whether he should inform the Demon Management Committee, so he said to Lin Jing, "You first record their behavior, in case it is useful in the future."
Lin Jing touched the screen twice: "Damn, the battery is out!"
Ji Xingling took his mobile phone, and returned it after a few seconds: "Okay, don't learn from me to swear in the future."
Lin Jing: "..."
He looked at the phone's boot screen and asked in shock, "You can still do this?"
"Well, I bring my own lightning." Although this racial talent is indeed very strong, it is obviously not suitable for showing off now, let alone explaining what a monster current converter is. There are more and more people around the old tree, and the vain earth The layers were also fully planed, and a large roll of white cotton foam soaked in water was rolled over, obviously preparing to wrap the roots of the tree.
The weather was too cold, and Lin Jing's mobile phone was still on the boot screen for a long time. He watched a migrant worker with eight hands jumping out from his back, shoveling up a piece of loess like flying, while the people around him looked calm, with expressions on their faces. Involuntarily, he lowered his voice in disbelief: "Are all these hundred or so people monsters?"
Ji Xingling realized the seriousness of the matter, and didn't care about Shenshu's thoughts, so he planned to report to the Yao Management Committee first.
But the phone was hung up without even a "beep" sound, and it was the same for two more calls. The signal was so weak that it was almost invisible. The same is true for Lin Jing next to him. After finally turning on the phone slowly, not only was there no internet connection, but even the camera could only capture a shaky light and shadow.
Ji Xingling wondered, "Why did you shoot me?"
Lin Jing was even more confused: "I can record you, but not the garden."
The two seemed to be trapped by an invisible barrier, completely losing contact with the outside world.
Encountering this kind of thing in the middle of the night, rounding it up is basically equivalent to a horror story, not to mention that there are a group of strange monsters in the distance. They are too lazy to maintain their human shapes. A small dust storm was planed next to the old tree.
Lin Jing was uneasy: "Are we covered by something?"
Ji Xingling was a little flustered at first, but after all, he is a fierce monster who has seen the world before, so he soon calmed down again, thinking... How should I say, this annoying barrier seems a little familiar, it seems to be from a mirage dragon, but the spiritual power It's very thin, so could it be the indifferent cub with fried scales from Uncle Mirage's house
So he deliberately said: "No, it may not be a thing."
As soon as the words fell, a broken basketball was smashed out of the equipment room. Ji Xingling pulled Lin Jing to dodge quickly, the basketball flew straight forward, but hit something in mid-air, made a dull sound, and bounced heavily in the opposite direction.
The commotion was not small, Lin Jing looked towards the garden instinctively, and saw that the workers were still busy, as if they hadn't noticed the voice at all, even Wei Li had turned into a head... I don't know What is it, a wild boar, or a dog.
As an underage high school student, Mr. Xiaolin has endured too many horrifying scenes that he shouldn't have to bear. He no longer even has to ask "what's going on", and just looks at Ji Xingling quietly—you are super fierce, you speak first.
"Wait a little longer." Ji Xingling pressed his shoulders, but he was not in a hurry. Since the mirage was there, and contacting the attitude of guarding the sacred tree before contacting him, he could probably guess that the demon management committee might really have plans, so he said, "Anyway, Mr. The tree cannot be dug away for a moment."
Lin Jing glanced behind him again from the corner of his eye. What's going on in the equipment room
"It's okay, my own."
"Yeah." Seeing that he was so calm, Lin Jing felt a little relieved, and continued to watch the movement in the garden. A dismal crescent moon hangs in the sky, revealing a hint of light red, and I feel sorry for this classic scene if I don't make a ghost. Ji Xingling sensed his uneasiness, so he reached out and put his arms around him: "Is it cold, or I'll take you home first?"
Lin Jing didn't agree, he was worried about the old tree. The two saw that the hole in the garden was digging bigger and bigger, and the sound was "ping pong pong pong", but there was not even a security guard who came to ask questions. In a blink of an eye, even Wei Li disappeared.
"..."
Ji Xingling explained: "He just got into the soil, it was a raccoon dog."
In order to better understand her boyfriend, Lin Jing checked a lot of information before, and vaguely remembered that Li Li seemed to be a kind of monster who was good at punching holes. But before he could raise any new questions, the huge canopy of the old tree had already started to sway from side to side, and the rushing "rustling" sound was like the densest spring rain.
Lin Jing's heart was empty, he thought that the big tree was about to be uprooted, so he almost ran over to stop it.
As a result, the next moment, a slender branch wrapped around Lili, and was torn out from the ground abruptly. The strong monster Zhizhi struggled and tried several times to gnaw off the branch with its fangs, but failed. Instead, another branch swung it in the air and slapped him heavily.
"Snapped!"
Li Li uttered a scream, tilted his head, as if fainted.
All this happened so fast that the workers who were approaching the scene were stunned for a few seconds, and when they realized that the unlucky lump was the boss, they all showed their vicious looks, bared their fangs and waved their sharp claws, and were about to pounce on it, but More tree roots emerged from the ground, like horse whips, sweeping through the dust and wrapped in the wind, crackling on the monsters.
"ah!"
Howling cries one after another, resounding in the empty campus, more ear-piercing than a whistle, the monsters fled in all directions, but no matter where they hid, they couldn’t escape the roots guarding the sacred tree—no one knew how his roots grew. Wherever you go, it seems to be boundless, the stadium, library, and teaching buildings, the thin and dense roots continue to elongate and spread, emitting silver light under the incandescent lamp.
It is this old tree that holds up the entire Shanhai High School.
The members of the Demon Management Committee have arrived. They seem to have been prepared for a long time. With the police and search team, several large trucks entered in a file. Tang Yaoxun and Ji Minglang were also among them.
The whole incident has changed from a bad script of "the villain uses despicable means to win" to a story of adults resorting to tricks, or leading snakes out of their holes. The Demon Management Committee seems to have planned well and gained a lot. Ji Xingling whispered: "Otherwise we will Let's go, you should be fine now."
Lin Jing took the schoolbag from him, and the two slipped out of the school the same way.
And it wasn't until I left Shanhai High School that the phone's full signal was restored. Lin Jing was still thinking about the scene just now, his heart was beating wildly, and it took him a long time before he said: "Is that the most powerful monster?"
"Forget it." Ji Xingling stood on the side of the road and hailed a car, "I don't know what Lili thinks, but he would bring a hundred monsters to plan the sacred tree."
Fortunately, Mr. Xiaolin did not bring up the obvious topic of "Is it you or the god tree?" which would obviously embarrass his boyfriend, but continued to ask: "Why is there such a loud scream, and there are no surrounding residential buildings?" Turn on the lights? Also, who is in the equipment room?"
"Because the Demon Management Committee has already made arrangements, Uncle Mirage was asked to isolate the mountains and seas from the outside world in advance." Ji Xingling explained, "The one in the equipment room is also a Mirage Dragon, but its spiritual power is very weak. It may be Uncle Mirage's son. Come and join in the fun."
"The problem with our mobile phone just now is also because of the mirage dragon?"
"He is reminding us not to act rashly. There is a mirage barrier. Even if you rush out to save the big tree, you will be blocked back."
"Then why didn't we wait for him just now?"
"What are you waiting for him to do?"
"Greetings and thanks."
"You want to see the mirage dragon?"
"… Um."
"Next time, it's too messy tonight. And with Uncle Mi, if he finds the two of us, he will criticize the education again."
Teacher Xiaolin wanted to continue with a hundred thousand whys, but the online car-hailing car had already stopped in front of him, so he had to shut up temporarily.
Because both of them had reported to their parents before, saying that they were going to a classmate's home for a group discussion, so they could stay out at night. The driver took them to the nearby Ritz Hotel. The front desk lady saw that they were two high school boys in school uniforms, and gave them a twin room without asking.
Your brother Xing has no experience in opening a room, and only after opening the door did he realize that there are two beds, no, no, so he protested: "I apply to change to a bigger bed."
"No." Lin Jing threw the schoolbag on the sofa, "Go take a shower, I still need to digest what I saw tonight."
"No need to digest, I'll ask my dad tomorrow and I'll know the whole story." Ji Xingling went to the bathroom to look around, "Then I'll take a shower and you rest for a while."
Staying in a hotel was a temporary decision, neither of them had brought a change of clothes, and the cleanliness teacher Kobayashi could only make ends meet. After Ji Xingling took a shower, he stepped out barefoot, wiped his hair with one hand, and only wrapped a towel around his waist.
Lin Jing didn't have the slightest precaution, he stared dumbfounded at the picture of this half-wet handsome guy coming out of the bath: "Why don't you wear clothes?"
"Because I didn't bring my pajamas, if you wear the T-shirt in the daytime, you will think it's dirty."
"You sleep in your own bed, why should I think it's dirty, what does it have to do with me?"
"..."
Teacher Xiao Lin saw this person's bad intentions at a glance: "Don't sleep, go carry your 3500."
The young master threw himself on the bed, unilaterally adopting the policy of "I don't care if I want to sleep".
Lin Jing pulled off the quilt, covered the exhibitionist boyfriend who had long hands and feet and forcibly spread the word "big", and went to take a bath by himself.
After the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, Ji Xingling lazily leaned on the bed, and suddenly reminded him loudly: "Do you know that the bathrobe in the hotel may wipe something off?"
"Ji Xingling, don't say it!"
"Well, I won't say, you think for yourself, anyway, it's all about that and that, you know."
Brother Lin, a clean freak: "..."
Five minutes later, he also came out wrapped in a towel, and quickly climbed onto another bed.
Ji Xingling was overjoyed: "Why can't you help being funny? Besides, aren't bathrobes, bath towels and towels disinfected together? It doesn't seem to work just not wearing a bathrobe."
Lin Jing threw a wet towel over: "Shut up."
Ji Xingling continued to work hard: "And there are bed sheets, quilt covers, and pillows. Hey, do you know how often the hotel's pillows are disinfected?"
Lin Jing lost his temper completely. He covered his ears and turned around, trying to isolate the large noise source.
Ji Xingling continued: "So only your boyfriend is the cleanest, and he can hold you for free."
Lin Jing felt that he was going to be yelled to death by this person.
"Come to sleep?"
"don't want!"
"Then I'll come over."
"no!"
"Why?"
"Because you haven't finished memorizing the 3500 words."
Mr. Xiaolin's style is steady, accurate and ruthless, and he hits the target with one blow.
A student who has not memorized 3,500 words has no human rights, and even a room can only be opened with a double bed.
This is a cruel truth unique to contemporary male high school students.
Ji Xingling said listlessly, "Oh."
