Chapter 92 – Bixian

The dazzling sunlight was blinding.

Xiao Chen slightly blocked the sun from his eyes with his hands, and squinted.

Suddenly, he turned around and looked at his shadow. Looking at the outline of the shadow on the ground, Xiao Chen inexplicably felt a peculiar feeling in his heart.

“I want to be your shadow.” Someone once said that to him.

Xiao Chen jolted, and slapped his temple.

He has been thinking of that person more and more recently.

Xiao Chen could still feel some faint pain where his back tattoo was, but these pains were still within an acceptable range to Xiao Chen.

The shadow slowly slipped onto Xiao Chen’s calf, and then slowly spread upwards; thighs, buttocks, all the way up, and squeezed into Xiao Chen’s coat.

It looked at the tattoo on Xiao Chen’s back foolishly, stroking gently, looking at the remaining blood stains. It was a bit distressed for him, but it couldn’t conceal the excitement and madness inside.

Mine! This is mine!

Heehee.

Just as one of Xiao Chen’s legs stepped within the school gates, he suddenly raised his head and realized that something was wrong.

“Boom!” A noise sounded, and the dark sky flashed with a clap of thunder.

Xiao Chen’s keen ears stirred and began to discern the sound.

Before he could calm down, the colour of the sky dimmed visibly to the naked eye. What was more terrifying was that the street, which was definitely packed and crowded a moment ago, was suddenly without a soul in sight, leaving him standing alone.

Thousands of miles without clouds, leaving only darkness.

Xiao Chen’s heart suddenly thumped.

The world spun.

As if wrapped in a layer of darkness.

What was happening?!

Xiao Chen was terrified.

The surroundings were silent and so dark that he couldn’t see his outstretched fingers.

No moon, no stars, even no street lights …

Everything around him was indistinct, there was only an endless darkness before his eyes.

As if in an instant, he was transported into a different world.

Thunder rolled and lightning flashed.

“Rumble, boom–!”

A loud sound.

Xiao Chen trembled again.

The instant the lightning flashed, he barely just recognized the overall surrounding environment.

Indeed, he was still at the school gate.

He listened to the deafening thunder and clenched his fists.

Damn it! What happened! Was he dreaming?

But everything in front of his eyes seemed incomparably real, undoubtedly false.

The pitch black sky occasionally split into cracked halves, producing a golden light, and then was followed by a tremendously loud noise that lasted (for what felt like) a few days, wanting to break the world into pieces.

This fear of being in the dark and knowing nothing about the world (around him) made Xiao Chen tremble and let out a cold breath, his scalp somewhat numb.

“Rustle–”

Something floated past him and made a sound.

In Yu Guangzhong, Xiao Chen could only see a white shadow.

Xiao Chen’s eyes widened, the soles of his feet felt a little numb. He began to sweat all over, and even goose bumps began to rise.

“Crack crack–”

Like the sound of bones being crushed

The white figure first appeared behind Xiao Chen, waiting for him to turn around, and then changed to his side, again and again.

Threateningly cold energy, cold and terrifying.

In the endless night, only the white figures were floating.

“Heehee heehee ha ha ha ha–”

Like there were ghosts, intangible echoes came from all around.

It was like being ridiculed, with a sense of unreality.

Xiao Chen’s blood was about to freeze, his two legs were fixed in place, motionless, as if his brain exploded.

G-ghosts!

The white ghost jumped out from behind him suddenly, revealing a face so deathly pale it was as if it was painted with a layer wall-paint. There were no eyeballs in his open eyes, only two bloody bone sockets.

Xiao Chen shook all over and his legs softened. He was frightened to the point that he sat on the ground. He subconsciously stretched out his two hands and immediately blocked his eyes.

“…”

The expected pain did not arise.

Xiao Chen opened his eyes, trembling, carefully taking off his hands a little, and looked at around through his fingers.

“…”

As soon as he opened his eyes a little, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The white ghost’s throat was held in a chokehold by a shadow who had come out of nowhere, tightly squeezing its neck and lifting it up directly.

“Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah–”

The white ghost let out a shrill and sharp cry, like a sound a person being burnt alive by fire would make, it was ear-piercing and terrifying.

If it weren’t for the close distance between them, Xiao Chen wouldn’t even be able to see the outline of the shadow.

“Thump thump, thump thump.” Xiao Chen’s heartbeat began to accelerate.

His mouth widened slightly and his pupils trembled.

“Rumble, boom.” Lightning flashed from time to time in the sky, and then a tremendous loud noise.

With the few seconds of light emitted by the lightning, Xiao Chen could vaguely see the outline of the shadow.

The shadow clutched the white ghost’s throat, slowly turned his head back, and met Xiao Chen’s shocked eyes with the flash of light.

The two were speechless.

The white ghost seized the opportunity, and the moment the shadow was absentminded, it turned into a puff of white smoke and quickly slipped away.

The shadow did not give chase.

Xiao Chen gasped, his eyes were a little wet, and her entire face was shuddering.

The shadow walked slowly towards where Xiao Chen was sitting.

Xiao Chen wanted to stand up, but the fright just now made him panic. He lost a lot of strength, and he softened and almost fell.

The shadow had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly supported Xiao Chen’s body.

Xiao Chen raised his head and moved his mouth, wanting to say something, but the next second, the sky began to change again.

The dark clouds faded away, the sky was clear for thousands of miles, and the sun was shining brightly.

Those who had disappeared a moment ago again appeared in Xiao Chen’s sight.

Outside, there was the sound of endless traffic and the voices of students walking around.

Xiao Chen’s heartbeat was still beating fast, but the shadow in front of him has disappeared into nothingness, as if everything he just experienced was nothing but his imagination!

If he hadn’t seen the mud that stuck on his leg after he just fell, Xiao Chen was afraid that even he would think that he was just dreaming.

Xiao Chen covered his heart again.

He could feel some dull pain there.

Gu Luming.

Is it you?

The shadow did not disappear, but Xiao Chen had no way of seeing this for himself at this moment.

Xiao Chen squatted down, sitting directly at the school gate, and under the startled eyes of the crowd walking back and forth, he covered his face and burst into tears.

This was the first time he had cried since Gu Luming left, so many years.

Heart-wrenchingly grieving, regardless of location, time, and occasion.

It didn’t seem to match his usual calm and even indifferent appearance at all.

The shadow directly held him in his arms, even if the other party could not feel his existence.

Don’t cry, don’t cry, I’m here.

Wait for me to get a little stronger, you’ll be able to see me.

Hold on! Hold on!

Soon!

“Look! Look! The female dorms are on fire!”

It was unknown who suddenly shouted in the crowd. Instantly, everyone’s eyes looked towards where the female dormitory was almost at the same time.

A plume of black smoke escaped through the glass windows.

Looking from a distance, you can see a long plume of black smoke drifting upward.

After hearing that voice, the security guard at the door ran out of the security room, and sprinted to the scene of the fire. He picked up his walkie-talkie and started frantically calling for help.

“A fire broke out in the girls’ dormitory! Everyone, quickly grab a fire extinguisher and prepare to put out the fire! Hurry up and call someone to evacuate the crowd and rescue people! Don’t forget to remember to dial the fire station!”

“Go, go, go!”

Xiao Chen raised his head amidst the hustle and bustle, there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

He leaned on the wall and slowly stood up.

The people next to them were attracted by the plumes of black smoke, discussing in low voices, and there were even more people who didn’t think it was a big deal and came to watch the fun.

Simply put, this fire was not too big, and it was successfully extinguished in a shore time because it was discovered in a timely manner, it didn’t have time to spread.

The security team organized the students at top speed to leave the scene, in an orderly fashion, without any trampling accidents.

In the end, the group of security guards who put out the fire finally breathed a sigh of relief. They began to check the bedroom that was the source of the fire.

One of them seemed to find something. His eyes widened in horror, his pupils quaking. He then pointed his finger in one direction, swallowed his saliva, and said in a panic, “Is that a person?”

Everyone followed and looked at the direction he was pointing at. He pointed to a mass of something black underneath the bed. The mass had been burnt into black charcoal. At a glance, it was impossible to tell what shape it was.

The security guards exchanged glances.

The horror they saw in each other’s eyes.

Finally, someone stepped forward, mustering up the courage, and walked over.

He pushed that thing with a fire extinguisher.

Bang, bang. Hard.

Shit, it’s really human.

How many days has it been? Fatal accidents occurred in both the male and female dormitories!

If this kind of news gets out, how will the school deal with it again?

Fuck.

“Beep beep beep.” The phone in Xiao Chen’s pocket vibrated.

He was still standing there, unmoving.

Xiao Chen took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and his eyes were still somewhat absentminded.

It was Chen Liu.

“Hello.” Xiao Chen’s voice was still weak.

The voice on the other end of the phone was like a madman, speaking very fast, shouting loudly, “Xiao Chen, you must pay attention to safety during this time, be careful about every single thing, just today, all the people in our dormitory were…”

Before the person could finish speaking, Xiao Chen heard a sudden “click” on the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of the car skidding against the ground while braking. Then something was knocked over with a loud “DUANG.”

In the end, it returned to peace.

There was a moment of silence.

“AHHHHH–”

There were piercing screams all around Xiao Chen, and someone even knelt on the ground next to him, their legs weak.

There was a car accident behind him.

Xiao Chen’s face was pale, his stiff body slowly turned around. He felt that his blood had completely frozen. He looked like a zombie.

When he saw the person lying on the ground behind him clearly, he could no longer deceive himself.

The hand holding his mobile phone slid from his ear, and the phone fell straight to the ground, the screen shattering into pieces.

There was a lot of clamouring all around, but Xiao Chen seemed to be deaf, unable to hear anything. There were only bursts of ringing in his ears.

Before his eyes was a blur of blood.

The driver of the car came out of the driver’s seat, his legs still trembling, and he almost fell to his knees every few steps. He walked over with difficulty to confirm the condition of the person he hit.

Not breathing.

The eyes were still open, and the pupils were unfocused.

The victim was lying on the ground in an extremely twisted posture, and blood was still pouring out of him.

The car owner’s eyes were black, and his heart thumped.

It’s over!

Chen Liu is dead.

The author has something to say: Hehehe, heeheehee.
