Wei Xuan actually doesn't like crowds. She just likes Chen Xiaoyang, and she also likes Chen Xiaoyang's friends. But she also doesn't hate people who show kindness to her. Those people are very good, and she doesn't hate beautiful things.
For her, school is a place to accept new things and quickly integrate into this society. Wei Xuan never entered this world from birth to death. She was just forced to stay away but allowed to observe. So she has a hobby of quietly observing the subtleties that people don't notice. There is nothing wrong with this, but in the eyes of a group of middle school students who are just starting to grow up, she is an outlier.
Especially this alien with a beautiful pale face and black and brilliant double pupils, became a special existence in the imaginative world of middle school students. Everyone longed to be a special existence, and the alien became unique in their eyes.
Some people admire and like it, some people hate and envy it. For a small number of people, it will temper the poison of jealousy in their hearts.
"Jealousy starts out as a lake of water. After being refined and concentrated, it becomes a bucket of water, a bowl of water, and finally a drop of water. The jealousy in a drop of water is comparable to the blood of zombies." Wei Xuan murmured, and sighed in an air of seniority.
"Chen Weixuan, come out." The class study committee member shouted loudly.
The atmosphere in the class suddenly froze, staring at Wei Xuan and the study committee member. The study committee member bit her lip, her eyes were quite uneasy. Wei Xuan turned her head and stared at the study committee member. The latter was startled and did not dare to look at her, and only shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, do you want people to wait for you?"
After a while, Wei Xuan stood up and walked in front of her: "What's the matter?"
The study committee member didn't dare to look at her and whispered, "Go to the warehouse. The teacher is there and she asked you to go." She was a little afraid that Wei Xuan would ask why, but fortunately she didn't ask.
Wei Xuan passed by her and said calmly, "Don't panic."
The study committee member was so scared that she almost cried. She was just afraid of Wei Xuan, both afraid and jealous. But she didn't think she did anything wrong. After all, she was not the only one who hated Wei Xuan. So many people in the class disliked Wei Xuan. She was a student who suddenly transferred in. She was younger than them, smarter than them, and the teachers liked her.
The most important thing is that Wei Xuan is not sociable. People who are not sociable must be discarded so as not to cause trouble to others.
The study committee member sat back in her seat, her eyes rolling around like a chameleon, very strange. When the person sitting in front of her turned around to ask her why she called Wei Xuan out, she saw the strange chameleon-like eyes and screamed in fear. Someone pushed her and asked her why she was yelling. She pointed at the study committee member: "Her, her eyes-"
"What happened to her eyes?"
She calmed down and took a closer look, and found that the eyes of the study committee member were normal, brown. At this moment, she was full of curiosity, surprise, and hidden disgust and impatience. Before Wei Xuan transferred to the class, the study committee member was the top student in the grade. He was gentle, kind, easy to talk to, often helped others, and had a good relationship with people. But this was just an appearance. She knew that the study committee member was actually very jealous. If jealousy was compared to a needle, the study committee member's heart would probably be pierced with holes.
The study committee member asked her gently, "Are you okay?"
"No—" She was still in shock and didn't dare to look at the study committee member again. She always felt that the study committee member had a bloody smell. She wanted to ask about Wei Xuan, but now she didn't dare to ask.
The study committee member stared at the white neck of the person in front of her and smiled silently. The pupils of her eyes instantly turned into compound eyes of insects, and her nostrils flared and made a faint sound. She rested her head on her arms and closed her eyes for a nap. It was noon, and she had to rest well, otherwise she would not have the energy for the afternoon class.
The warehouse mentioned by the study committee member is in the southwest corner of the school. It is quite deserted. There are weeds growing outside and some old sports equipment in the warehouse. Probably because of the abandonment, there is a rumor in the school that the warehouse is haunted.
Wei Xuan pushed open the iron door, which made an unpleasant creaking sound. She walked in and walked around, but there was no one in the warehouse. So she turned around and wanted to leave, but the warehouse door slammed shut. Wei Xuan tried to open the door, but it seemed to be locked from the outside and could not be opened.
Wei Xuan took a few steps back and looked up. There were several skylights near the roof of the warehouse, which were the source of light for the entire warehouse. However, the skylights were nearly three meters from the ground, and ordinary middle school students would definitely not be able to leave if they were locked in.
Unfortunately, Wei Xuan is a flying zombie.
Wei Xuan sat on the roof of the warehouse and watched two hooligans outside the warehouse, one standing and the other squatting, chatting. Wei Xuan heard their conversation clearly.
"Brother, why didn't you hear any sound? Were you scared to death? If you were scared to death, you wouldn't feel scared anymore, the grade would be much lower, and the price wouldn't be too high." said the squatting gangster.
The thug standing there was smoking. Hearing this, he threw the cigarette on the ground, crushed it with his foot a few times, and said, "Go in and take a look. Wake her up and give her an injection."
"That won't work either, brother. Stimulant drugs can also affect emotional changes, so they are not suitable as a breeding ground."
"Tsk, how could a nine-year-old girl be targeted unless she's very smart and good-looking? She's not suitable to be a breeding ground. Nine years old... too young. She needs to be raised until she's thirteen at least. At nine years old, she won't get enough nutrition, and the quality of the things she raises won't be very good."
"That's true, but it's rare to see a top-quality one. It's just that she's too old... What a pity." The squatting thug stood up, patted his pants and said, "Open the door, let's scare her. Tsk, it's hard to cultivate such pure fear, forget it, it's a windfall anyway."
They stood up and were about to open the door. Wei Xuan thought for a moment, then climbed back along the skylight and hung on the door. Recalling the little ghost that appeared in the horror game she had played before, she looked like that. When the door opened, she suddenly fell down and came face to face with one of the gangsters. Her brains dripped onto the gangster's nose and slid to his lips, feeling icy cold.
The gangster licked it subconsciously, then suddenly came to his senses and took a big step back in shock. He looked closely and found that it was the girl who had just been locked up: "Dead, dead?"
Another thug stepped back: "I heard that this warehouse is haunted, it can't be that fierce. The kid was just thrown in and he was killed?"
"Brother, let's go first. Don't worry about it."
"Yes, let's go first. It's none of our business anyway."
The two hooligans stumbled away, and they were able to stay calm in this situation, which can be said to be very courageous. Wei Xuan heard the bell for class, so he restored his original clean appearance and returned to the classroom for class.
The study committee member was a little uneasy when she saw Wei Xuan coming back. When she saw the teachers and classmates asking about Wei Xuan's lateness, the poison of jealousy in her heart burst out, making her even more uneasy. She thought angrily that everyone was hypocritical and they simply wished that Wei Xuan would die in the mud. The nine-year-old child had a brighter future than everyone present. They must be jealous.
Wei Xuan's seat was at the front, away from the study committee member. After she sat back in her seat, she suddenly turned around and gave a sinister smile to the study committee member who was staring at her. When the study committee member couldn't control her jealousy, she suddenly turned into a scary devil, frightening her so much that she shrank her shoulders and buried her face in her arms.
The study committee member was so scared that she lay on her arm and trembled, and couldn't help biting her arm. She uttered some vague and intermittent words, which were so vague that even her deskmate couldn't hear clearly.
Wei Xuan's expression showed surprise for a moment, and then returned to a blank expression. When she was leaving the get out of class, several girls from the same class came over and invited her: "Chen Wei Xuan, do you want to go get some ice cream together?"
Wei Xuan shook his head: "No."
"Okay." A few girls felt a little regretful, and then saw the study committee member coming over from behind. They pushed each other and asked with a forced smile: "We are going to have ice cream, do you want to join us?"
The study committee member looked pale and didn't smile: "Where are you going?"
“The one outside the school is doing very brisk business.”
"That one," the study committee member smiled eeriely, "I'm not going." After that, she walked past several people and Wei Xuan, and walked out of the school gate without looking around. A few girls were left whispering to each other, "Wow, did you see her smile? It's so eerie."
"The student councillor has been acting really weird lately. I always feel uncomfortable when she's staring at me."
"I looked back at her today and her eyes looked like insects and it scared me to death."
"You played games too late last night, so you must have seen wrongly. Whose eyes can be like those of an insect? You're not a monster."
"Maybe. I heard from my mom that recently in the old alleys in Xicheng District, there have been frequent incidents of blood-sucking and flesh-eating monsters attacking passersby. Someone took a photo of the attackers, and they were extremely skinny and scary. The scariest thing is that they were all young girls, mostly around 16 or 17 years old. I heard that they suddenly got sick, and no treatment worked. I heard from my mom that they were possessed by those creatures."
"What are those?"
"What else could it be? Just the dirty stuff."
"Nonsense. From your description, it looks more like a zombie."
"Hehe, believe it or not. Anyway, I won't go to Xicheng District. It's so scary."
"Hasn't the rumor been dispelled? It was said to be drug abuse."
One of the girls suddenly said, "Actually it's not a dirty thing, it's a Gu."
"Gu? It's even more unreliable than dirty things." Several girls walked out of the school gate laughing together, and the girl who reminded them hesitated to speak, and finally stopped and changed direction and left.
The girl hugged her shoulders tightly and hurried along. She was very scared and terrified, and she walked faster and faster. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her, "Su Nini."
Su Nini turned around and saw the transfer student Wei Xuan: "Chen Wei Xuan? What's up?"
Wei Xuan asked: "What did you mean by Gu just now?"
Su Nini's pupils constricted and she was terrified: "I didn't say anything, you heard it wrong." She was so scared that cold sweat quickly broke out on her forehead, her lips turned pale in an instant, her whole body was shaking, and she was in a very wrong mood: "I really didn't say anything, don't ask me, I don't know." She backed away while shaking her head, and suddenly turned around and ran away, looking back from time to time, as if something was chasing her.
The fear was abnormal.
Chen Yang is analyzing the latest list, which is directly issued by the Taoist Association. The bonus is very generous. In addition, the Taoist Association will reserve a position for the vice president. Whoever can solve this list first will pass the test and get the reserved position for the vice president of the Taoist Association.
Chen Yang looked through the information and asked, "Shouldn't the position of vice president of the Taoist Association be reserved for a celestial master who is highly respected, has made great contributions to society, or has qualifications and merits? Why is there a reserved position?"
Ma Shanfeng said: "The Taoist Association also needs fresh blood. The old generation of celestial masters are sometimes not very flexible in handling things and their thinking is not flexible. Young people are different. They are active and bold in thinking. Sometimes we need to make bold moves forward and rely on young people." After a pause, he continued: "It is easy to get a reserved spot, but it is not easy to hold it in your hands. There are many tests. Even if you pass this level, there are still other levels. Sometimes you have to consider all aspects, including character, etc."
Chen Yang nodded, and then asked: "Uncle Ma, what do you think about what Old Kou said?" Kou Xuanling proposed to bring Lu Xiuzhi to the branch two days ago. He and Ma Shanfeng decided to think about it for a few days before giving a reply. In fact, he just had bad intentions to tease Old Kou.
Ma Shanfeng: “What do you mean?”
"I agree." Lu Xiuzhi's goal was clear. As long as Kou Xuanling was in the branch, he would never leave. "Lu Xiuzhi was quite capable. He would not listen to anyone's orders, but as long as Old Kou was here, he would listen."
Ma Shanfeng had seen Lu Xiuzhi, a young man whose depth was hard to tell. "Lu Xiuzhi is not ordinary. When I looked into his eyes, it was like looking into a bottomless well. The surface was calm, but the depth was unfathomable." In his opinion, Lu Xiuzhi was a thousand-year-old well. The water in the well had not dried up, but the depth of the well could no longer be seen. In the end, he concluded: "He is hiding very deeply."
Chen Yang nodded in agreement: "Uncle Ma, what does you think Lu Xiuzhi should be?"
Ma Shanfeng's eyes swept across Chen Yang's face. Because of his question, he had raised Lu Xiuzhi's status in his mind. He originally thought that Lu Xiuzhi was a descendant of a hidden family, but when Chen Yang asked him, he felt that his status might be higher. So he asked, "Tell me."
Chen Yang told Ma Shanfeng Lu Xiuzhi's true identity in his ear, and Ma Shanfeng's calm eyes suddenly burst into a sharp light, like a tiger out of a cage, showing some of his youthful charm.
Ma Shanfeng: “Really?”
Chen Yang nodded. Ma Shanfeng picked up the teacup thoughtfully and took a few sips in a row: "I hope you don't come to bother Kou Xuanling because you think he's funny."
"I don't think so."
Ma Shanfeng frowned and stared at Chen Yang, thinking about the silly look of Kou Xuanling when she was worshipping the ancestor. It was really easy to arouse other people's interest. But they were afraid that this interest would turn into a playful intention. If she really had the intention to play, they would be helpless. Ma Shanfeng sighed and shook his head, "There is no guarantee for a relationship that is not based on marriage. You and Du Ju are married, but there is no guarantee that Lu Xiuzhi will marry Kou Xuanling. If Kou Xuanling is deceived into marriage and heart, oh!"
Ma Shanfeng was so worried that his hair almost fell out. Chen Yang comforted him: "It hasn't come to that point yet. Old Kou has not yet come to his senses and thinks he is still as straight as steel." Then he thought, what about marriage? "If they get married, who will marry?"
"As long as we get married, it doesn't matter." Ma Shanfeng firmly believes that marriage is true love.
Chen Yang was picking up the file book, thinking about urging Lao Kou to marry Lu Xiuzhi back to the branch. If she married, the branch would have two less people, which would be a loss. He heard Ma Shanfeng ask, "What do you think?" Chen Yang answered in support.
"Back to this list... Xicheng District has seen a lot of attacks recently. The attackers are skinny, gaunt, stiff, and have dull eyes. When they attack passersby, they will first bite raw meat and suck blood. They were once rumored to be zombies. The official response was that they took new drugs and went crazy. The symptoms look very similar." Chen Yang picked up another list, opened it and said, "But this information shows that these attackers are all young girls, aged between 15 and 18. The youngest is 13 and the oldest is 20."
He flipped back to the previous file, which showed photos of the captured attackers. They looked frightened and panicked, old, and their hair was dry and sparse, like dried vegetables. "This is their medical history. Without exception, they all had emotional illness before this."
Mood disorders, as the name suggests, are diseases that affect physical health due to emotional disorders. Obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobia, anxiety disorder, depression, etc. are all called mood disorders. Because of external forces or personal psychological factors, a certain emotion is infinitely magnified, which will have a significant impact on life.
"Without exception, they had emotional illnesses and recovered after treatment. Their parents and themselves also thought they had recovered, but less than a month later, their bodies quickly collapsed and became old. It was as if the vitality in their bodies had been drained, and they were extremely thirsty for flesh and blood. All these behaviors showed that they were abnormal, but we still can't find out why they had emotional illnesses and why their bodies collapsed quickly after recovering." Chen Yang put the information on his knees, raised his head, and said sternly: "Because without exception, they all died."
Ma Shanfeng paused: "This incident is so terrible."
Wei Xuan came back from school and saw Chen Yang when he entered the branch office hall. He walked over with his schoolbag on his back and sat down: "Chen Xiaoyang, are you working?"
Chen Yang smiled gently, "Yes. Is school over? Do you have homework?"
"Yes." Wei Xuan doesn't like doing homework.
Chen Yang: "Have you finished writing? If not, write it here."
Wei Xuan shook her head: "I'll go back to my room and write." She glanced at the two documents on Chen Yang's knees. She quickly read through them but got a general idea. She remembered that when she came back, several girls were also discussing the attackers in Xicheng District. She asked in confusion: "Emotional illness?"
“Symptoms of Mood Disorders.”
Wei Xuan said "oh" and came up. After thinking for a while, he decided not to tell Chen Xiaoyang what happened today, so as not to worry him. He carried a schoolbag weighing more than ten kilograms upstairs to his room, and promised Chen Yang that he would finish his homework. But as soon as the door was closed, he put down his schoolbag, opened the window and stuck his head out: "Come out quickly."
Then Ji Jiang and the two hairy zombies climbed down from the roof and went into the room. Wei Xuan took out a heavy book and notebook and spread them out on the table: "All the homework is here. You are not allowed to use ancient characters or brushes. You must use fountain pens and simplified Chinese characters."
Hearing this, Ji Jiang quietly pushed all the homework in front of the two hairy zombies: "Come on." The two hairy zombies, who were about to take out carving knives and brushes, became stiff all over, and pitifully showed their wrists with long nails, trying to imply that they were already disabled.
Wei Xuan: "You want me to do my homework by myself?"
The two hairy zombies silently retracted their hands, curled up their arms and legs, opened their middle school textbooks and began to do their homework. In fact, doing homework was not difficult for them, but they were used to writing brushes and carving knives, and were just beginning to learn simplified Chinese characters.
At night, Chen Yang checked Wei Xuan's homework under the light. He turned the pages over and over with a frown on his face. "Wei Xuan's handwriting is not very good. The words written with a brush are obviously very beautiful. Do you think I should buy a copybook for Wei Xuan to practice? Hmm?" After a long while without hearing a reply, he called out again, "Lao Du?"
Du Shuo unbuttoned his coat and took it off. Hearing this, he went to his side to look at Wei Xuan's handwriting. Chen Yang was being polite when he said it was not very good. It was more than not very good! Even elementary school students could write better than Wei Xuan. Du Shuo saw something after reading one page: "It is weak and stiff, not like the handwriting of Wei Xuan."
"Who else could it be if not her?" Chen Yang said nonchalantly, "Wei Xuan just started using a hard pen, so it's normal that the words he wrote are not so good."
Du Shuo suddenly looked up at the roof. Chen Yang glanced at him and asked curiously, "What's going on?" Du Shuo shook his head and walked towards the window. He suddenly opened the window and looked up at the roof. A piece of his clothes slowly dragged up. After a while, he closed the window.
"I agree to buy a copybook for Wei Xuan to practice calligraphy. This handwriting is indeed ugly."
Chen Yang: "Yes. I'll go pick one tomorrow, but I have to ask Wei Xuan what font he likes first."
Du Shuo asked casually: "Have you ever accompanied Wei Xuan to do homework?"
"Not really."
"Yeah. It's good to accompany her sometimes. Parents accompanying their children to do homework can also promote their physical and mental development."
Chen Yang felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. So he agreed to Du Shuo's suggestion and decided to help Wei Xuan with his homework someday. Du Shuo took the homework book from his hand and said, "Go to bed. Don't look at it. There are no mistakes."
"How can you be sure?"
"I'm sure." How dare those hairy zombies let their little master make mistakes in his homework
"Okay." Chen Yang believed Du Shuo because he had almost finished checking the homework, and there were indeed no mistakes except that the handwriting was a little ugly.
Late at night. Sunini grabbed the strap of her backpack and hurriedly ran through the street with her head down. Something was following her. She didn't need to look back to know what it looked like. It was a monster. Its skin was dark green, its eyes were like insect compound eyes, and it had hundreds of teeth that grew outside its lips. It looked deformed and terrifying. She was wearing tattered red clothes, and her black hair was floating behind her. She was looking for someone to parasitize.
If anyone sees her, they are suitable targets for parasitism. She will follow closely and will be caught no matter where she runs.
Su Nini was so frightened that she called her father as she walked. When the call went through, she burst into tears: "Dad, please come and pick me up quickly. That man is following me again."
Su Nini's father anxiously consoled her on the other end of the phone: "Don't be afraid, try to go to where there are more people. I'll pick you up now, don't be afraid."
"Come quickly." Su Nini broke down and sobbed.
Seeing the lights of her neighborhood, Su Nini quickened her pace. She saw someone inside the security booth and felt relieved. She stood under the light and looked back. The monster disappeared, and there was nothing behind her. There was a dead silence all around, not even the sound of insects. Su Nini's heart seemed to be grabbed by a big hand, as if it would crush her heart and make a "bang" sound at the next moment, announcing her death.
She took a few steps back, opened the door with the key card, and hurried into the community. After walking a few steps, she suddenly thought of something and looked back at the security booth. The figure inside, who she thought was a security guard, slowly raised his head. Through the glass, she could clearly see: dark green skin, insect compound eyes, and hundreds of teeth growing outside the lips. She was opening the door and crawling out.
Sunini screamed: "Ah!!!"
Su Nini bumped into someone and screamed in fear. The man grabbed her and said, "Nini, I'm your dad!" Su Nini looked up and found that it was indeed her father. She immediately threw herself into her father's arms and cried, "I'm scared, Dad, that thing is following me again. I'm so scared. She confused my mind and tricked me out in the middle of the night. She wanted to parasitize in my body... I'm so scared."
Father Su comforted his daughter and took her to the elevator. From the door to the elevator was a small hall. The receptionist was dozing off and snoring. There was a small fan blowing next to him. Then there was the occasional 'sizzling' sound from the lights. Other than that, it was very quiet, eerily quiet.
The floor was very smooth, and Su Nini deliberately stepped hard to make a sound. She was afraid of this suffocating silence. Every time that thing appeared, the surroundings would become very quiet, and no one could hear or see it. It was as if she was the only one isolated and alone with that thing.
Father Su said: "The receptionist was clearly on night shift and was sleeping, otherwise how could she not have noticed you running out? I will make a complaint tomorrow..." The voice seemed to be very far away from him, but it was clearly right next to him.
Su Nini felt sleepy for a while, she tried to open her eyes, and suddenly saw the thing rushing in from outside, pointing at her and yelling, and then rushing towards her with its fangs and claws. She pressed the elevator button in fear, and after entering the elevator with Su's father, she frantically pressed the door closing button.
She finally closed the door before the thing pounced on her, so she didn't notice that the thing that looked like a monster in her eyes was shouting, "Come out quickly, the thing next to you is not a human!"
The next day, a news item was published in Today's Morning Post that a young girl in a residential area in Xicheng District walked into the elevator for some unknown reason and was frightened crazy, and her experience was like a "paranormal event".
The author has something to say: "Anyway, she is not the only one who hates Wei Xuan..." To avoid misunderstanding, this paragraph is all the student council's imagination caused by jealousy.
Ji Jiang and the eight hairy zombies can leave the ancient tomb, but not all of them can leave. Some of them have to stay inside to guard. Without them, how can Wei Xuan complete his middle school homework
