Chapter 18 The World of Demons(1/2)
Wednesday, June 5th, afternoon.
The sky was covered with dark clouds and the light was dim. In fact, it was not yet five o'clock, but it seemed like it was seven or eight o'clock in the evening. The strong wind swept across the playground and rolled up paper scraps all over the sky. Li Nan had to close the windows, otherwise he would not be able to hear Zhao's mother's voice clearly.
"The process of entering the examination room has been told to you again. Don't make any mistakes at that time!"
"I would like to emphasize the taboos in the exam room..."
"You must check carefully. If you have more time, check it over and over again!"
"If you are not sure, I believe the first judgment!"
“…”
These words have been said in detail and even two or three times a while ago, and some other teachers have mentioned them. Today, Mrs. Zhao has emphasized again. Some people in a class are very arrogant and careless, but they are still children. Mrs. Zhao cannot tolerate them delaying their future because of carelessness.
The classroom was terriblely quiet, and the classmates looked solemn.
Only the voice of Zhao's mother echoed.
There was a drizzling sound outside, and it was much softer when it penetrated through the glass.
Zhou Li turned his head and looked outside. He found that Brother Nan was actually taking notes and writing down Ma Zhao's words one by one. It was really rare to be serious.
The raindrops in the sky have been stringed into bead curtains.
The layers of paper scraps downstairs were piled up like snow, slowly soaked in water. It seemed that it was going to work hard for the juniors.
The huge figure of Sanzheng stood in the middle of the playground, moving blankly. Zhou Li didn't know why he was standing there. Staying in the corner of the pond could at least cover up some wind and rain.
He walked forward two steps, lowered his head and looked up.
I raised my hand to catch the rain, but found that I couldn't handle it and put it down.
Water flowed along his hair.
Zhou Li suddenly wanted to know what was thinking in his mind at this time.
Lightning struck by, making the playground white. At that moment, the shadow of Sanzheng seemed to be imprinted in the water. At first glance, it looked quite terrifying, like a big devil.
Another figure suddenly appeared on the playground
Slim and slender, walking towards the three straights in the rain.
Li Nan had already noticed Zhou Li's abnormality, so she turned to the playground and looked at it, then touched Zhou Li with her elbow: "Is it so good to see it raining?"
"It's very beautiful." Zhou Li withdrew his gaze.
“Um…”
Li Nan did not refute it very often, and she subconsciously glanced out the window.
The playground has poor drainage capacity, and a layer of shallow water has accumulated on the ground. She suddenly felt her eyes were blurred, and there was a stall of water in the middle that seemed a bit too unruly!
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
Mother Zhao knocked on the podium: "Don't get distracted! You will go home after school later. It will be a day off tomorrow. It will be cool these days. Please take care of me. Don't eat randomly and keep your energy in dealing with the college entrance examination! The examination room will be ready at noon tomorrow, so in the afternoon, you will gather at the gates of other examination centers as instructed in the group. Teacher Chen and Teacher Chang will take you to the examination room. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
"If you take the exam in this school, go find it yourself!"
"clear!"
"Let me see, there is still some time left, you can arrange it yourself." Mother Zhao waved her hand.
The classroom started to make a fuss.
Li Nan put down his pen, raised his arms and spread wide, stretched his waist: "I'm finally graduating!"
"Yes, it's so fast."
Outside, Huai Xu has taken Sanzheng away.
It rained all night and the next day became much cooler. It was said that there would be light rain at night, and it has been relatively cool these days.
Under the guidance of Aunt Jiang, Lao Zhou and his family went to the "Li Ji's time-honored beef noodles" in the morning for breakfast, then went to the shopping street opposite, bought four red clothes, and drank a Bawanghua ribs and nourishing soup at noon before going back.
June 7th, dark.
Lao Zhou's family of four wore battle clothes, as if they were facing a great enemy.
The breakfast prepared by Aunt Jiang is quite simple, with boiled eggs, porridge and milk, and plates of sour cucumbers. She has been struggling with this breakfast for several days. It is rich in nutrition, but it is not only afraid of being too rich, because she is afraid that fancy things will ruin it.
Lao Zhou's company has a lot of things and has taken time out.
The whole family sat together for breakfast, and Aunt Jiang was responsible for checking all the items Zhou Li was going to carry, and then the whole family escorted him over.
Zhou Li walked into the school gate and sat by the flower bed and looked up in surprise: "You came so early!"
Zhou Li had a helpless expression and simply sat down next to Huai Xu: "I can't help myself."
"Come early and be calm, you see, some people come early."
“I’m from this school.”
"hey-hey."
"Where did you spend last night?" Zhou Li asked.
"I'm going to play, I feel a little embarrassed to sleep at your house."
"Nothing, there is an empty bed anyway."
"Then I'm embarrassed."
"Where have you gone to play?"
"Electronic Game City."
"How did you go to the video game city?" Zhou Li was stunned.
“I can show my appearance.”
"Can you show your appearance?"
Zhou Li has never seen monsters that can be revealed, but after so many years, he has only seen them twice. He thought they were the special abilities of those monsters, just like Huai Xu's elusiveness and the "ghost state" that San Zheng showed that day.
Huai Xu nodded: "I'm very awesome."
"Then are you a big monster?"
"Yes."
"Can only the big monsters show their appearance?"
"Good question!" Huai Xu smiled. If Zhou Li asked him this question a few days ago, he wouldn't know how to answer it. Then he would seem useless in front of Zhou Li.
"In theory, all monsters can be manifested, but we are outsiders after all. On the one hand, we are restricted by this world, and on the other hand, our own form is not compatible with your world. So you can understand that we are usually in the middle of this world and another world, and it is quite difficult to fully come to your world."
Huai Xu was finally able to show his own erudition, and she was very excited.
According to him, there are two kinds of ability to show monsters, one is passive and the other is active.
Passive monsters can be seen by humans in special times, special environments, special occasions or a certain season, and most of them cannot even control them themselves.
There are very few monsters that can actively show their appearance, and they are not unscrupulous.
Huai Xu's words, he has a special force in his body, and he can use this special force to show his appearance, but this force is difficult to accumulate, and he is usually very frugal.
The "ghost state" that Sanzheng showed that day was also the ability that most monsters mastered, which was to completely retreat to the "other world". At that time, only people like Zhou Li could see and touch them, and other than that, no object or energy in this world could touch them.
Zhou Li felt that he had a lot of understanding of the world of demons, but he had more mysteries.
But Huai Xu didn't understand it very well. The description process was full of metaphor techniques and ancient fantasy understanding. This metaphor was only produced after one year of elementary school and watched countless TVs. If he really asked the question in the bottom line, he couldn't answer it.
Suddenly Zhou Li heard a voice
"Hey Zhou Li!"
Zhou Li turned his head silently and saw a girl rushing towards him on a bicycle, her hair fluttering with the wind.
The girl stood up and waved to him, holding a pot-kick in her other hand.
Seeing that he had seen it, the girl bent down and held the handlebar again, pinched the brakes about three meters away from him, and the rear wheel suddenly locked, dragging it on the ground and letting it snort.
"You're here so early too! Your clothes are good!"
"Um."
"I thought I was the only one who came here so early." Li Nan bit Guo Kui, "My mother said she was afraid that I would forget to bring things, so she asked me to prepare for three round trips. In fact, there weren't many things to bring at all. Oh, by the way, did you come to the exam room yesterday?"
"without."
"Neither of me, did you go and see this morning?"
"without."
"Come so early, go to the exam room first."
"My examination room is there, No. 4." Zhou Li turned around and pointed to the middle part of the teaching building, which was the classroom of the first class of the second grade.
"Oh!"
Li Nan was a little surprised. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the teaching building. For this reason, she leaned forward and stretched her neck out, which was thirty centimeters closer to the teaching building.
