Gusts of cold wind scraped his skin bitterly. It was the summer month of June and Ji Mingxia was woken up by the cold in his sleep.
He opened his eyes drowsily and was about to pull the air-conditioning quilt over him, but the next moment, his hands froze in mid-air.
A strange black shadow suddenly appeared in the boys' dormitory and was standing right in front of Ji Mingxia.
The dim lights in the distance shone into the boys' dormitory. In the darkness, the shadow was darker than the night, and the waist-length hair covered the face.
His body was skinny and bony, his hands and feet were long and thin, presenting completely abnormal human proportions.
When Ji Mingxia saw it, it was just stretching out its hand, with its sharp claws like dead branches, and crawling onto the face of the boy opposite.
The poor unfortunate creature immediately groaned in pain.
Ji Mingxia felt unwell all over, and he was shivering as he wrapped himself tightly in his little quilt.
This is... a live version of sleep paralysis!
Ji Mingxia just entered the book tonight.
Four hours ago, Ji Mingxia was just an ordinary 19-year-old otaku who had just entered college.
He accidentally fell down, and when he got up, he had turned into Ji Mingxia, a male supporting character in a horror novel with the same name as himself.
Although it is a journey through a book, in Ji Mingxia's opinion, it is more like the alternation of parallel time and space.
Because he is wearing.
Carrying his own body and wearing the pajamas he had been wearing before, Ji Mingxia, a living person, blended into this world without any sense of incongruity, while the original Ji Mingxia had long disappeared.
I guess this original body has traveled to his world.
Ji Mingxia was so envious that she almost cried.
His world is ordinary and there is no supernatural or magical scientific world.
But this book world is different. The original work of this novel is a BL horror novel!
The protagonist is Yu Ning, who is lying opposite Ji Mingxia at this moment, the unlucky child who is sleep paralyzed by ghosts. He is born with a pure yin constitution and attracts mysterious events.
Yu Ning suffered a lot since childhood, and his life only gradually got better when he met the protagonist Pei Yuan in college.
The story begins when Yu Ning goes to college. The couple joins hands to fight monsters. The horrific dungeons come one after another without stopping.
Yu Ning and Pei Yuan fell in love with each other, but because they were both introverted, they did not take the initiative to confess their feelings to each other.
At this time, Yu Ning's high school classmate was accidentally involved in a terrorist incident.
In the process of helping his high school classmates, Yu Ning, with the guidance and advice of his high school classmates, finally got married with Pei Yuan.
The high school classmate who was responsible for the assist was naturally Ji Mingxia.
According to the normal plot of time travel in a book, Ji Mingxia should have traveled back to the college period, and according to the development of the plot, he should have guided Yu Ning to correctly understand his sexual orientation and encouraged him to be with Pei Yuan.
However, at this moment, Ji Mingxia traveled to the eve of the college entrance examination, when the story has not yet begun.
Fortunately, he had just finished the college entrance examination and had not forgotten his high school knowledge...
The Ji Mingxia in this world is almost identical to Ji Mingxia himself, in terms of appearance, background, and growth experience.
It’s just that Ji Mingxia in this world is one year younger than him, and had a boyfriend while growing up and had experience in love.
The reason for becoming younger is so that he can be a high school classmate with the protagonist Yu Ning;
Having been in a relationship and having a boyfriend is to pave the way for the identity of a love mentor.
Both of these changes serve the purpose of the plot.
If nothing unexpected happens, Ji Mingxia in this world will encounter the terrorist incident about two years later.
As long as Yu Ning is not dead and the whole world continues as normal, Ji Mingxia's life will be safe even if he encounters danger two years later.
After figuring this out, Ji Mingxia felt a little relieved and fell asleep in the unfamiliar boys' dormitory in a daze.
Unexpectedly, I was woken up in the middle of the night...
While Ji Mingxia was stunned, the dark shadow had completely covered Yu Ning.
In the darkness, Yu Ning's face could not be seen, only his rapid breathing, which came out dully from time to time, and his voice implied struggle and pain.
Ji Mingxia grabbed the quilt nervously, his palms were wet with sweat.
He didn't understand why he ran into such a scene.
In the original novel, Yu Ning is an orphan and his appearance is different from that of ordinary people.
Even in big cities, such children are not welcome, let alone in the backward Funan County, where the population is mostly middle-aged and elderly, and the entire county has an even more closed and superstitious atmosphere. Almost everyone regards him as a disaster and a beast, and avoids him.
Yu Ning grew up being excluded and developed an introverted personality.
Before meeting Pei Yuan, Yu Ning had never experienced care and warmth in his life, and no one would lend a helping hand when he was in danger.
At this moment, Ji Mingxia wanted to help him, but he didn't know how to do it.
In this world full of dangers, it was only his first night here. What if he accidentally did something that changed the plot...
The protagonist has the aura of the protagonist, but he, a passerby, doesn’t have that!
As a qualified supporting role, at this moment, you should be as quiet as a chicken, pretend to be asleep, hide all the way, and stay until the end of the plot...
Ji Mingxia tried hard to convince himself in his heart.
At this moment, Yu Ning's voice suddenly disappeared.
The dormitory fell into an eerie silence.
After a moment, the sound of human skin being cut could be heard faintly.
A faint smell of blood rushed into Ji Mingxia's nose.
Ji Mingxia was startled, and the next moment, he felt a pain in his palm, as if the person who had just cut his hand was himself.
He was stunned for a moment, then touched the "injured" palm with his other hand and found that the skin of his palm was smooth and there was no wound at all.
The pain came suddenly but was still within the tolerable range. But the problem was that the longer Yu Ning in the next bed was paralyzed by the ghost, the colder Ji Mingxia's body became.
No matter how tightly he wrapped himself in the quilt, it was completely ineffective.
This chill seemed to emanate from the bones, and there was no way to trace it, let alone to break it.
The fear of dying swept through Ji Mingxia's body. At the critical moment of life and death, Ji Mingxia suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Yu Ning opposite him.
—No way!
The protagonist is in danger, so the supporting characters can't live either
Is this world so idealistic and unreasonable? (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!
Ji Mingxia was about to swear, but no matter how he complained in his heart, he couldn't change the status quo.
Seeing the shadow getting thicker and thicker, almost getting into Yu Ning's body, in order to save his life, Ji Mingxia had no choice but to grit his teeth, and stretched out his almost frozen hand from the quilt with a trembling hand, and swung it fiercely towards the edge of the bed -
“Bang, bang, bang!!”
“Bang…!”
Several decorative glass bottles, mugs for drinking water, bottled drinks, etc. that he had originally placed beside the bed were all thrown away by him.
The sound of various bottles falling and breaking exploded in the dormitory, like a thunderclap, instantly waking up those who were still sleeping.
There were six people living in the male dormitory, including Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning.
They were all young teenagers in puberty. They were suddenly woken up in the middle of the night. The remaining four boys were all furious and sat up from their beds cursing.
"Who is this? You're crazy!"
"Who the hell is doing this in the middle of the night? Can't you let me sleep?"
"What's going on..."
Two of the boys reflexively took out their cell phones, turned on the flashlight function, and shone it towards the dormitory.
The whole dormitory was brightened, and the cold feeling disappeared instantly. Ji Mingxia's body regained consciousness instantly. He quickly sat up from the bed and looked in the direction of Yu Ning.
The ghost disappeared unnoticed, leaving only Yu Ning sitting quietly on the bed with his head slightly lowered.
Because the person holding the phone was behind him, Yu Ning was facing away from the light.
His face was hidden in the darkness and his expression could not be seen, but the violent rise and fall of his chest confirmed that he was still alive.
Ji Mingxia wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to everyone quickly: "I'm sorry, I was sleepy and accidentally knocked over the bottles and cups."
As he spoke, he quickly got up and turned on the light in the dormitory.
The bright lights dispelled the last trace of coldness in the dormitory.
Ji Mingxia poured a glass of water for each of his five roommates, and while passing the water to everyone, he apologized frantically.
"I'll treat everyone to dinner tomorrow!" said Ji Mingxia.
“It’s you…” The roommates had a good relationship with Ji Mingxia, and when they saw that he apologized in a good attitude, they were not so angry anymore.
"What are you dreaming about, kid? You're so excited."
"It's not enough to eat. I still don't understand the question the teacher talked about today. Please explain it to me tomorrow."
"Tomorrow evening we're playing basketball. Lend me your shoes. Otherwise, this matter between us won't be over!"
Ji Mingxia nodded frantically: "Okay, okay, I promise you all!"
Seeing him so straightforward, his roommates immediately felt relieved. After drinking the water, they all lay back down and continued to take a nap.
Ji Mingxia breathed a sigh of relief, walked to Yu Ning's bedside, and handed him the last glass of water.
When Ji Mingxia came through, everyone was already getting ready for bed.
It was dark at night and Yu Ning was facing away from the light, so Ji Mingxia didn't see his face until now.
Ji Mingxia had read the novel and knew that Yu Ning looked different from ordinary people.
Even though he was prepared, he was still shocked when he saw Yu Ning's appearance.
Yu Ning's skin was extremely white, as if he had been losing blood for years, and it was so pale that it was creepy.
His facial bones are three-dimensional and his facial features are delicate. Every detail seems to have been carefully carved by God, and there is nothing imperfect.
The only difference was that one of his eyes was black, while the other was an abnormal grayish white.
Nowadays, foreigners are everywhere, and cosmetic contact lenses are sold all over the streets. Everyone has seen all kinds of eyeballs, red, green, and blue.
If Yu Ning's eyes were both gray, he wouldn't be so creepy.
It just so happened that these two, black and gray, created a pair of yin-yang eyes.
Such eyes, coupled with his perfect and almost weird looks, in such a deep night, his exquisite features not only did not add any points, but instead looked even more weird and not like a living person.
Just one look at it can make one's heart feel cold...
Thinking of the ghost just now, Ji Mingxia wanted to throw away the cup and run back to his bed.
When Ji Mingxia was reading the book, he couldn't understand why Yu Ning, who was so handsome, was ostracized and couldn't make friends just because he was an orphan and had a pair of heterochromatic eyes. It was simply against common sense.
But now that he was in the book, he finally understood that although everyone loves appearance, they value life more.
People have the instinct to survive. Every detail on Yu Ning's body screams weirdness and danger.
Anyone who doesn't want to die just wants to stay away from him.
However, Yu Ning's action was one step faster than Ji Mingxia's.
Realizing that Ji Mingxia was looking at his gray eyes, Yu Ning tilted his head slightly, avoiding Ji Mingxia's gaze, and hid his face in the darkness again.
Sweat flowed down his forehead, wetting his hair and eyebrows. The blue veins on his neck made Yu Ning's face look even paler than paper.
He huddled there like a little animal that no one cared about.
It's weird, but also a bit lonely and pitiful.
Ji Mingxia was originally a little annoyed.
If something happens to Yu Ning, why should he also be in danger
However, seeing Yu Ning like this, the annoyance disappeared immediately, and he still felt a little bit reluctant.
He is a straight man, but he insisted on reading most of this BL horror novel, largely because of Yu Ning.
He likes the character of Yu Ning.
It was not until Yu Ning and Pei Yuan got together that the emotional scenes gradually increased, and Ji Mingxia felt uncomfortable watching it, so she gave up writing the story.
After all, it's the paper man that I've always dreamed of...
However, a supporting role should have the awareness of being a supporting role.
In order not to add drama to himself, Ji Mingxia quickly put the water cup on the table, deliberately ignored Yu Ning's injured left hand, turned around and cleaned up the glass water cup fragments on the floor by himself.
During this time, Ji Mingxia vaguely felt that someone was looking at him. He didn't know whether it was Yu Ning looking at him or it was an illusion caused by his nervousness.
He quickly found an opportunity and looked back.
Yu Ning was still sitting there, maintaining the same posture as before, looking so miserable, and had no time to look at him at all.
Ji Mingxia breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt completely at ease.
