Author: [ Collect this chapter ] [Complain]Waiting to die
Chill rose from the bottom of his heart, Jiang Yue hesitated slightly, and then became more and more angry.
ridiculous! Was he frightened by Xu Deng's look just now?
How can this be? !
A poor guy who was usually silent and submissive in school could actually scare him?
Jiang Yue lost his patience and had a cold look in his eyes. He didn't know how to do it in public, but it would be hard to say when he went out... It's
not too much for students to go out to communicate, right?
Jiang Yue had a sneer on his lips, and looked at the people around him. Just when he was about to take action, a clear voice suddenly sounded beside him: "That's enough."
Jiang Yue turned his head.
Ji Ziyang stood there with a calm expression. Although he didn't say much, his attitude was very clear.
Jiang Yue's eyes changed. If it was normal, he would have given in... But when he looked back, he saw Xu Deng sitting there leisurely, and continued to eat as if no one was around.
It's really frustrating. How could we just let it go?
Seeing Jiang Yue's rare stalemate with Ji Ziyang, several boys beside him looked at each other and noticed an unusual atmosphere.
A boy stood up. He was one of Jiang Yue's friends named Zhang Zeyu. He smiled and smoothed things over: "Xu Deng is not with us today. He must have his own business. You guys sit down first while I wait in line."
Someone broke the news This stagnant calm.
Jiang Yue took a deep breath, the coldness in his eyes dissipated, and he showed a cool smile, saying: "Okay, then you go." Then
he turned and walked to the other side, but this time he did not wait for Ji Ziyang to come with him.
Ji Ziyang didn't care, he lowered his head and glanced at Xu Deng.
The young man was concentrating on his meal. When he lowered his head, a white and delicate neck was looming. It looked frail and frail, but it was like a motionless green bamboo. It seemed that the confrontation just now had nothing to do with him... He
Xiaosong, who was watching opposite him, was nervous. He was sweating profusely and couldn't sit still, which only highlighted Xu Deng's calmness and calmness.
This is different from the Xu Deng in Ji Ziyang's impression.
When Jiang Yue came over at first, Ji Ziyang had no intention of interfering. In his opinion, as long as Jiang Yue gave a little signal, Xu Deng would pass by as before... The young man never seemed to refuse others, even if he didn't They don't know how to resist reasonable demands.
But what surprised him was that Xu Deng refused this time.
Private rumors about Jiang Yue were not good. Ji Ziyang didn't want to get too close to him, but the two families had some business dealings. Jiang Yue was quite restrained in front of him. It was not good for him not to give him any face, so he Ji Ziyang tacitly allowed Jiang Yue to appear by his side, and as long as Jiang Yue didn't cause trouble in front of him, Ji Ziyang usually wouldn't meddle in his own business.
It's okay for Xu Deng to obey today, but since Xu Deng doesn't want to come again, Jiang Yue should stop it. He will not allow Jiang Yue to intimidate his classmates in front of him.
It's just... Ji Ziyang took a deep look at Xu Deng.
The young man didn't seem to be afraid. Did he not know who Jiang Yue was, or even if he knew, he didn't take it to heart at all?
Ji Ziyang pondered for a moment.
Xu Deng seems to be a little different.
But Xu Deng never raised his head to look at him, clearly refusing to communicate. Ji Ziyang paused and had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Calm returned to the corner.
After Xu Deng finished eating, he looked up and saw He Xiaosong looking at him with admiration.
Xu Deng:?
He Xiaosong whispered: "You don't know, I was scared to death just now!"
Xu Deng didn't think there was anything to be afraid of. This was the canteen, and Ji Ziyang was also present. Jiang Yue didn't dare to do anything... even if he still Not dead, not afraid.
Xu Deng: "Oh."
He Xiaosong: ...
Although this deskmate has always been taciturn, doesn't talk much, and seems a bit unapproachable, he still deeply feels what it means to chat to death with just one word.
He Xiaosong followed Xu Deng out of the cafeteria, thought for a moment, and said, "Will we still have dinner together tonight?"
Although when Jiang Yue and others came over, he still regretted being with Xu Deng, but now Xu Deng has accepted it. The infection suddenly didn't feel scary at all, and I even wanted to continue with Xu Deng.
Xu Deng nodded: "Okay."
He Xiaosong: ...
He Xiaosong scratched his head and hesitated. In fact, he still wanted to ask Xu Deng, do you really like Ji Ziyang? Why don't you go today? But they didn't seem to be that familiar, so He Xiaosong chose to keep his mouth shut.
Xu Deng returned to the classroom and started class.
Hold your chin and get distracted.
He usually listens very seriously to his lectures. As a senior in high school, he is about to face the college entrance examination. Everyone works hard, and Xu Deng is no exception. And he always wants to do better. If he is as good as his elder brother, will his father look at him more? But no matter how hard he works, he is not as good as his elder brother, and his father never cares about his grades...
But what about now?
If you are going to die in three months, do you still need to study hard?
What would you do if you only had three months left?
When Xu Deng thought of this, the corner of his mouth rose and he almost laughed. He suddenly remembered that his classmates had discussed similar issues during class: If there was only one day left in your life, what would you want to do?
Everyone expressed their opinions, as if they all had many things to accomplish before the end of their lives.
Listen to a concert, go on a trip, watch the sunrise, confess to the person you like, eat with your family...
But that day Xu Deng just watched everyone discuss without saying a word.
It's not that I have no wishes at all.
But since childhood, no wish has ever been realized, and it would only look ridiculous to say it.
At that time, he did not expect that one day he would really face such a problem. It turns out that life can really have a deadline for death.
But when the day really came, I didn't want to do anything.
Because everything is meaningless, I don't want to waste my efforts.
The system has been very quiet today.
Could it be that I've been thinking about it all day and still haven't figured out what I can do?
Xu Deng was really surprised. He thought the system was somewhat useful...
The time in a daze passed quickly.
When it was time for evening self-study, Xu Deng simply lay down on the table and fell asleep. He waited until the bell rang before quietly waking up.
Xu Deng put his schoolbag on his back and left the school.
He subconsciously walked towards the station, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped.
There was no one waiting for him in that family, so why rush back? The night is nice tonight, why not go for a walk alone.
Xu Deng turned around and walked in another direction.
This is a newly built commercial street. Because it is close to Qingteng Middle School and there are several high-end residential areas nearby, there are usually a lot of people. Even this spot is very lively.
There was a bustle of people coming and going around him, there were couples cuddling together in intimacy, there were parents walking past with their children smiling... They passed by him, but they had nothing to do with him.
In addition to the busiest main road in the commercial street, there are also small roads intersecting between different buildings. Xu Deng walked aimlessly.
Originally there was still some noise around me, but as I walked, my ears suddenly became quiet.
When he came to his senses, there was no one around him.
Xu Deng stopped and realized that he had walked into a small road at some point. There were several trash cans on the roadside, and the garbage piled inside gave off a peculiar smell.
This path was narrow, dark and dirty. No wonder no one came. Xu Deng frowned slightly and was about to leave. He happened to be next to the side door of the cinema, so he turned around and pushed the door in, preparing to exit from the other end of the cinema.
But as soon as he entered the cinema, he felt that the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees. Xu Deng frowned. Is the air conditioner turned on too low?
What Xu Deng didn't know was that the moment he stepped into the cinema, someone immediately tensed up.
In the control room of the cinema in the distance, red ropes were criss-crossing at the moment, and copper bells hung on the red ropes. Among them, the copper bell near the northeast corner began to tinkle automatically in the absence of wind.
Bai Yi looked at the tinkling bells on the red rope with an ugly expression on his face. In order to prevent anyone from entering here by mistake, he specially set up a formation around the cinema. Even if someone came, they would not be able to enter and would involuntarily avoid it. , so, who exactly entered here?
Could it be that besides them, are there other people from Xuanmen here? Or is it something sinister?
Bai Yi looked solemn and said to the person sitting in front of the monitor: "Look what's going on."
Sitting in front of the monitor were the staff here. They didn't have time to escape because of the sudden situation, but luckily they were very Someone was coming soon. The person who came seemed to be very capable. Everything that happened today was far beyond his understanding. He immediately retrieved the surveillance footage after hearing this.
What appeared in front of them was a young boy with a thin body, wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag. He turned out to be a high school student.
Bai Yi was startled.
Is it really just a mistake?
But how did he avoid his own formation?
A light layer of sweat broke out on Bai Yi's forehead. He was not good at his studies. Did he make such a mistake? What if something happens to this student?
He looked behind him cautiously.
One of the lights in the monitoring room was broken, and where the light had not reached, a man stood there quietly. He was wearing old black clothes, with slightly grayish cuffs, and half of his face was hidden in the shadows.
Although the man just stood there and said nothing, no one could ignore his presence.
Bai Yi felt the pressure, took a deep breath, and said cautiously: "Mr. Yin, someone accidentally broke in just now. His current situation is very dangerous. Do you think it's time for us to take action..."
Bai Yi said the next thing. His voice became weaker and weaker, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his vest. He was really not teaching Mr. Yin how to do things. He was in a hurry and had no choice. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken even if he was beaten to death!
In the silent monitoring room, even breathing could be heard clearly. Just when Bai Yi was feeling uneasy -
the man finally moved slightly, turned his head, and his face emerged from the shadows.
This is an unforgettable face, every feature is just right, it is the most beautiful person Bai Yi has ever seen... But the eyes are closed, making people can't help but think about what a pair of eyes should be. What eyes.
Such a person should be a joy to meet.
But at this moment, Bai Yi only felt awe in his heart, and he didn't even dare to look at the other party.
Because as long as you know a little bit about this person's deeds, you won't dare to have the slightest desire for him.
Bai Yi never thought that in his lifetime, he would not only witness the legendary existence with his own eyes, but also go on a mission with him!
Shouldn't he be 'thankful' to his master? Normally, he is just an old man who is just a wandering cloud and a wild crane, and he can be a friend of 'this man'.
No, I just happened to meet a difficult ghost, and this guy happened to be a guest at the master's place, so he came by the way.
It stands to reason that with this big boss taking action, it would be easy to capture a mere ghost, but Bai Yi was even more nervous than usual.
After all, seventy years ago, the legend of this god of death was circulated in the world. It is said that those who died at his hands could not tell whether there were more humans or more ghosts. There are countless legends about him, but most of them are Not very good ones, such as moody, cold-blooded and ruthless...
To be honest, Bai Yi felt that the person behind him was much scarier than the ghost in the movie theater.
I'm scared, but now someone has broken in, I can't just die without saving him.
Bai Yi became anxious when he thought of those people trapped in the cinema, as well as the student who had entered by mistake just now, but this one didn't look anxious at all and didn't seem to intend to save anyone.
Xu Shibai Yi's anxious look was too obvious. The man's thin lips moved slightly. His voice was a very strange low hoarse voice, slow, like a dull knife scraping against the sand and gravel, making people's skin tremble slightly. Tremble.
"Do you know where it is?"
Bai Yi's expression froze.
Yes, they are here to catch ghosts, but where are the ghosts?
This cunning devil is hiding!
Having said that, can't we go find it? Just waiting here? Wait for the evil ghost to hurt someone before taking action?
Bai Yi felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak any more, and even breathed a little lighter...
He looked at the monitor from left to right again, except for the high school student who barged in carelessly. Nothing was found, and no one knew where the ghosts or living people had gone.
Xu Deng walked slowly for a few steps and finally realized something was wrong. The cinema was too quiet and it didn't seem to be in business.
And although this cinema is very large, taking up an entire building, it can't even end in the corridor, right?
Xu Deng looked at the endlessly extending corridor and fell into silence.
The system that had been dormant for a long time finally showed up.
[The system said anxiously: Host, this seems like a ghost trying to break a wall! 】
Xu Deng said expressionlessly: "Thank you for reminding me."
Xu Deng turned around, and the door he came from was indeed gone.
It's really strange. In his more than seventeen years of life, he had never encountered a supernatural event, but he encountered it the next day after the system came.
Is it because I have awakened my consciousness, or is it because I happened to take a different path today?
This may be a question that has no answer.
Xu Deng asked: "Do you know how to get out?"
[The system was a little embarrassed: I, I'm just an auxiliary system...]
Xu Deng didn't plan to ask anymore.
It seems that the function of the system is only to induce people to do good. It is better to rely on the system than on the local Taoism.
This movie theater is located in a bustling commercial street. If such a big thing happens, it won't be long before someone discovers it. Maybe the practitioners who exorcise ghosts and slay evil spirits have already arrived. As long as I wait for them to subdue the ghosts here, they will naturally Can be rescued.
Xu Deng came to the vending machine next to the corridor, bought an ice cream, and found a stool to sit down.
[System:...]
Bai Yi, who was far away in the control room: "..."
[The system said cautiously: How about we hide? ]
Xu Deng tilted his head. The ice cream tasted good: "Why?"
[System: It's not safe here! 】
Xu Deng suddenly smiled, arched his eyebrows, and said thoughtfully: "Do you think that if I die here now, will I become a ghost like in the book? If I turn into a ghost, it will definitely be me." Isn't it awesome?"
The system's heart has gradually become numb.
But the more Xu Deng thought about it, the more interesting he found it: "It's not mentioned in the ghost books here, so it's obvious that he is a little monster worth mentioning. If the plot in the book is followed, he is not even qualified to be my subordinate." The
system : I don't want to talk anymore.
Xu Deng was very indifferent to the matter of being a human or a ghost. Survival or death may be a difficult choice for others, but it was not important to him.
The only thing that made him feel a little awkward was that he felt that the ghost was acting too eccentric and not like him.
He didn't like that look.
However, he has been living for others all his life, in order to gain other people's attention and care, and he has lost himself because of this. He is tired of this kind of life, and now he only wants to live for himself... Now that he has decided to do whatever he
wants , there is no need to be bound by anything anymore, so even if he becomes a ghost, who can make him not unlike himself?
He is the villain and no one can order him.
He will not be like the evil ghost in the article, just as he is no longer the same as he once was.
After figuring this out, Xu Deng finally felt relieved.
It doesn't matter what the future looks like, and you don't need to care about what is written in the book. It is all in the eyes of others, and the person he is in other people's mouth...is not the real him.
And from today on, he is just him.
Xu Deng was eating ice cream slowly. Time passed so slowly...
Just when he was doing nothing, a middle-aged man suddenly rushed out beside him. The middle-aged man's suit was wrinkled, and he was rolling and crawling. He rushed out, but because he was too fat, his movements were not smooth, and he fell down in front of Xu Deng.
Xu Deng lowered his eyes and looked over, meeting the man's eyes.
The middle-aged man was also obviously shocked. He didn't expect there were still living people here. He thought everyone was hiding! But at this moment, he didn't have time to think too much. He grabbed Xu Deng and pushed him back, and then continued to run forward in a panic.
Xu Deng was pushed well and felt very unhappy. The uneaten ice cream also fell to the ground. He raised his head and saw a thick black mist behind him. The black mist looked like a human figure, although there was no face, but a ferocious and ferocious aura hit his face.
In the blink of an eye, the black mist had come closer, but it did not kill him immediately. Instead, it sniffed at his side and made an angry voice: "Zhao Xingmao... you will also... fall into my hands..."
No Don't your eyes recognize people?
Xu Deng said softly: "I'm not Zhao Xingmao, he ran over there." He pointed to the direction in which the middle-aged man left.
Hei Wu suddenly became even more angry after hearing this. The walls on both sides of the corridor were shattered. It violently chased in the direction of the middle-aged man!
The system, which was originally in his throat, slowly let it go. He almost thought the host was going to die just now!
I didn't expect that this fierce ghost could recognize people. It seemed that he had not completely lost his mind...
At the same time, Bai Yi was so excited that he knocked over his chair. He kept saying: "The fierce ghost has appeared!"
After saying that, he immediately activated the formation to try to stop him. But the evil spirit was so angry for some reason that he smashed all the barriers he had set up and rushed directly into the screening room!
Fierce resentment swept through the entire corridor and room, and the picture on the monitor suddenly turned gray.
Bai Yi's face changed drastically. He originally wanted to delay for a while and wait for them to go over and save people, but the strength of this evil ghost was beyond his imagination! Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. No wonder the master asked this person to come with him. If he was the only one today, he might not be able to go back alive...
Bai Yi hurriedly said: "Mr. Yin!"
If it's this person, he can definitely save people!
Unexpectedly, Yin Xun remained indifferent and said slowly and hoarsely: "The injustice has its owner, and the debt has its owner."
Bai Yi:?
Xu Deng followed closely and entered the screening room.
The evil ghost had already caught the middle-aged man, and the man let out a shrill scream: "Ah ah ah ah help!" The
black mist was full of resentment, and its body surged with anger, and its voice was intermittent: "Hiss... I'm going to kill him." You...kill you...I've been waiting for you for a long time...for a long time..."
Zhao Xingmao was so frightened that he almost fainted. He has rarely come to this commercial street since it was built. It's rare to come here today. Why did he encounter this kind of thing? Already? !
Why hasn't anyone come to save him yet?
What the hell is this!
Although he was extremely frightened, Zhao Xingmao was still a big boss after all. After so many years of mixing black and white, he still calmed down at the critical moment and said: "You, you want... whatever you want, tell me, no matter what. Okay, I will definitely satisfy you..."
He wanted to say give him money, but it was obvious that he was not a human being in front of him. It would be useless to talk about money, so he changed his mind and said that anything would be fine.
Who knew that the black mist would become even angrier after hearing this, and it bit Zhao Xingmao's head. It looked like the black mist had enveloped the man's head, and the sound of cracking and bone breaking could be heard.
Zhao Xingmao's hand dropped weakly.
Heiwu said while biting: "I want...your...life..."
Xu Deng was a little surprised, this fierce ghost did things quite neatly.
The black mist bit Zhao Xingmao's body into pieces over there, and while he was chewing vigorously, a low sobbing sound suddenly came from the side. The black mist immediately stopped and looked back.
Only then did Xu Deng realize that there were several people hiding behind the chair. One of the women hugged the child and covered the child's mouth desperately. The cry just now was from the child... The child was frightened.
The fierce ghost who swallowed Zhao Xingmao, the black mist on his body became thicker and faintly red with blood. He gradually lost his mind and let out an angry roar: "Kill...kill...you...eat you..." If it were said just
now The evil ghost was just heading towards Zhao Xingmao. If there was still a trace of reason left, it was now beginning to fall into a crazy state, which was very dangerous.
The ghost that had just turned into a fierce ghost tasted flesh and blood for the first time, and it might be difficult to control itself.
Seeing the black mist rushing toward women and children——
Xu Deng suddenly said: "Hello."
Heiwu paused and looked at Xu Deng following the voice.
Xu Deng raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Eat me first."
[System:? ? ? Host, what are you doing? ! 】What you should do at this time is not to take the opportunity to escape?
Xu Deng said softly: "I am doing good deeds according to your request."
The black mist looked at Xu Deng, made a hissing sound, turned around and rushed towards Xu Deng.
The system almost fainted. I asked you to do good things, but why didn't you listen before? Now are you listening again?
If the host died now, how terrible would it look like? The system really doesn't dare to take this gamble. It can't just fail the mission the next day and go home!
[The system hurriedly said: Host, I have a purification talisman here. It only costs 100 points. Do you agree to exchange it? 】
Does the system still have this ability?
Xu Deng: "But I don't have 100 points."
He did not forget that his points were -1856496.
[The system immediately said: It doesn't matter, as long as you agree! 】
Xu Deng was slightly startled and nodded.
At the same time, the points on the "Good Guy Card" in front of Xu Deng changed from -1856496 to -1856596, and there was an extra talisman in Xu Deng's pocket.
Xu Deng:?
Xu Deng had a complicated mood: "So, the points can still be used like this?"
[System dodges: Yes, yes, is there any problem? ]
Xu Deng was expressionless. This was indeed a path he had never imagined. He paused and then asked: "Is there a lower limit for this point?"
[The system stuttered: Probably, there is no...]
Xu Deng was silent. .
For the first time, he felt that there was no lower limit, was it okay?
