The daily life of the retired devil

Chapter 112 Supernatural Live Streaming 05

It was getting darker.

A faint fog rose from nowhere, and gently shrouded the high school teaching building of Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School.

Along with this mist, there is a faint smell of rust—some students speculate that this may be the smell from the old teaching building, after all, the old and rusty faucet there is always not closed properly, and when it rains There will be all kinds of strange smells flowing out of the tap water every day.

However, there are also some students who speculate whether it is the smell of blood with fear and excitement, but those who make such guesses will be laughed out loud by others:

"How is it possible? This is a school! Do you think this is a slaughterhouse?"

"And even if it's a slaughterhouse, the smell of blood is not as strong as everyone imagined. It's more of a smell! The smell that can't be washed away... Do you know why?"

"……why?"

"The old people who live in the slaughterhouse told me...the smell...is all from the ghosts of pigs! Hahahaha..."

"What? You actually teased me?! Look at me!!"

"Hahahaha, come on, you can't catch me!"

The naive and occasionally jumpy students, after a heavy day of schoolwork, happily stepped on the bell for evening study, walking on the way back to the dormitory.

But Jiang Xiner, who was also preparing to go back to the dormitory, noticed that her deskmate Chen Xinfeng, who always put on a "big boss, my second child", stood in front of the classroom and kept looking around, looking absent-minded and worried.

Jiang Xiner hesitated for a moment, but she was still driven forward by kindness, and asked, "Why don't you go back? The school building will be closed soon."

On a normal day, a sophomore boy like Chen Xinfeng who thinks he is cool would disdain to talk to an "ordinary person" like him at the same table, but at this moment he may be really anxious, so that Jiang Xiner When he opened his mouth, he couldn't wait to ask: "Hey, have you seen Brother Yue in your evening self-study?"

"Study committee member?" Jiang Xiner was taken aback for a moment, she finally realized something wrong with today's evening self-study because she didn't hear anything outside the window, "That's right, did the study committee member not come to evening self-study today?"

"You don't know?" Chen Xinfeng showed a disappointed look on his face, "Forget it."

Jiang Xiner glanced at Chen Xinfeng, and comforted him with some awkwardness: "Don't worry too much, the study committee members have such good grades, and they are still day students, it's normal not to come for a day and study at night! It's you, go back to the dormitory early, and later I'm about to be scolded by the guard grandpa..."

Chen Xinfeng hesitated, frowned and said, "You don't understand."

Jiang Xiner rolled her eyes, and she was not polite: "How can I understand if you don't tell me?!"

Chen Xinfeng paused for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Even though Brother Yue has good grades, he is still a day student, but he... Anyway, Brother Yue will never skip class! He won't do late self-study either! And I just heard from the people in the next class that school is over this afternoon. It seemed that someone from outside the school came to our teaching building to inquire about Brother Yue, and after that...there was no news about Brother Yue..."

Jiang Xiner didn't take it seriously: "It should be a relative or friend of the study committee member, maybe something happened to the study committee member's family, so he was called home in advance."

The flowers in the greenhouse have never experienced the ravages of wind and rain, and even campus bullying only exists in rumors, so after hearing Chen Xinfeng's words at this moment, of course, they will not think of the bad, but naturally find a common And for reasonable reasons.

Chen Xinfeng glared at Jiang Xiner again, as if he hated iron but steel: "You don't understand! It's impossible for any relatives and friends to come to Brother Yue!"

Jiang Xiner frowned: "It's 'you don't understand' again! Of course I don't understand if you don't tell me!"

Chen Xinfeng hesitated to speak, but in the end it was youthful loyalty that prevailed, choosing the latter between dangers that may or may not exist and keeping secrets.

"Forget it, I can't explain to you!" Chen Xinfeng gritted his teeth, turned around and ran away.

Jiang Xiner was taken aback: "Huh?! Where are you going? That's not the direction of the dormitory!"

Chen Xinfeng yelled: "I'll go find Brother Yue!"

"Hmph! Just find someone if you are looking for someone! Why are you shouting so loudly!" Jiang Xiner shook her head, and went back to the dormitory on her own.

April 7, 12:22

Foggy nights in summer are often icy and cool, which is very refreshing.

However, in the foggy night in Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School, somehow, there was an indescribably cold feeling. Some students who were too weak would even catch a cold if they walked in such a foggy night wearing short sleeves!

Many old people said that this is because the predecessor of Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School was a mass grave, and it was very dark at night, so if a living person walks around at night like this, of course it is easy to get sick, but such remarks It didn't attract too many people's attention—after all, in these years, which school or hospital didn't have a rumor that "this place used to be a mass grave"?

Besides, feudal superstition has been broken for many years, who still believes in this?

Therefore, most people just listen to the old man's nagging, and only in some mysterious "school gossips" will they be seriously mentioned.

In the past, Chen Xinfeng, a provocative brother, naturally dismissed the rumors of ghosts, but when he ran along the long campus path and passed by the pond in this foggy night, Chen Xinfeng suddenly shivered. I suddenly remembered this rumor.

"A place like No. [-] Middle School, where many people died before..."

"Every stone you see in the back mountain was once a tombstone..."

"And that pond...it shouldn't be! It shouldn't be! As my ancestors said long ago, there can be no water here! Let alone stagnant water! Living water leads to yang, and stagnant water leads to yin!"

"If you build indiscriminately like this, sooner or later something big will happen!!"

The previous dismissive remarks echoed in Chen Xinfeng's mind over and over again.

The surroundings were blurred, the voices of people who were supposed to be bustling after school, but now they seemed extremely far away from him, as if he and those people were in two worlds!

At the same time, the path by the pond became slippery and colder.

Chen Xinfeng walked with a stern expression on his face, with his head held high, as if he was fearless, but in fact, his steps became slower and slower, and he became more and more apprehensive.

Soon, when he walked about half of the distance, Chen Xinfeng felt that the sound of his feet was not right, it was not like the sound of stepping on a gravel road at all, so he gave himself ten seconds of mental training, looked down.

"What—" just as Chen Xinfeng uttered a word, he covered his mouth with all his strength, stared at his feet with wide eyes, and yelled in his heart:

How could this be? !

It turned out that at this very moment, the path under Chen Xinfeng's feet unexpectedly became icy!

On a midsummer night, the road was icy? !

It's simply a big joke in the world!

Chen Xinfeng was flustered, his back felt chilly, his arms were hairy, and he flinched.

He looked ahead, then looked back, and finally decided to turn around and go back, speeding up his pace, wanting to quickly cross the pond, and obediently go back to the boys' dormitory to spend this weird night.

But at the moment when he turned around, Chen Xinfeng spotted some dark shadow floating in the pond with the tip of his eyes through the thin light.

"No, don't... It must be an illusion, yes, these must be illusions, something like a mirage... No, it is purely the refraction of light..."

"Nothing, nothing..."

"Don't scare yourself... How can there be ghosts in the world?"

"Let's go, let's go, just go back to the dormitory... Hurry up..."

Chen Xinfeng shut his mouth tightly, with sweat sticking to his back, while yelling some words that he couldn't make sense of in his heart, while looking down at the road, he wanted to leave quickly without looking sideways.

But I don't know why, I walked very fast when I came, but I couldn't reach it when I returned.

Chen Xinfeng's thoughts became more and more chaotic.

"Am I walking too slowly?"

"Why haven't you gone to the end?"

"How does time pass so slowly?"

"No, no, it must be a psychological effect..."

"...so why am I still on this road?!"

Chen Xinfeng was thinking about messy things in his mind, and the sweat stains on his back became heavier and heavier.

And at this moment, Chen Xinfeng suddenly saw black liquid flowing towards him on the path covered with frost.

Chen Xinfeng was startled, stopped quickly, retracted his foot that had almost stepped into the black water, stepped back two steps, and raised his head in a panic, but when he saw a pair of sports shoes soaked in water and two bones hanging from algae that looked like calves in front of him, his scalp shuddered. Once it exploded, I dare not look up again.

"Cackling..."

It's getting colder all around.

Chen Xinfeng heard the sound of his teeth chattering.

But he didn't know whether the trembling was due to the cold at the moment or the fear at the moment.

He froze in place, not daring to move his body, not even daring to scream. He once hoped that time would pass quickly, but now he only prayed that the time at this moment could be completely frozen, so that the "unidentified object" in front of him could follow He kept his distance all the time, or simply prayed that the "thing" in front of him was a blind man with bad eyesight, and didn't see him on this road at all, or...

Just as Chen Xinfeng's heart was beating wildly, he was holding his breath and thinking wildly, footsteps sounded.

Da da da……

The water-filled sneakers made a weird and chilling sound as they walked on the frosty gravel road, approaching Chen Xinfeng little by little.

Chen Xinfeng's scalp was numb, and a voice in his head screamed frantically, urging him to run away, but his whole body seemed to be frozen in the air, unable to move at all.

"Run, run, run!"

"Move! Move quickly!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

In a cold dead silence.

An unexpectedly friendly voice sounded.

"Student, why are you still wandering by the pond so late?"

Chen Xinfeng didn't dare to raise his head, and didn't dare to speak to him.

"Which class are you in? Don't be afraid. I'm Zhang Xinli, the monitor of Class 02, Class [-], Grade [-]. If you get lost, I can take you back to the dormitory."

Chen Xinfeng broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and at this moment he finally remembered——

Eighteen years ago, a student in Jiangcheng No. 18 Middle School was late for self-study, so he took a shortcut on a snowy day, intending to cross the pond and walk back to the dormitory.As a result, the snowy pond road was too slippery, so he slipped and fell into the water, but at that time, no one was around, and no one heard the call for help, so he was drowned and froze to death alone and helpless in the pond!

And that student is called Zhang Xinli!

The water ghost 18 years ago... the water ghost 18 years ago!

Why did he bump into him now? ! ! !

On the other side, the conversation continued.

"This classmate? Why don't you speak?"

"Classmate? Are you okay? How about I take you back to the dormitory?"

Chen Xinfeng trembled more and more——

What does this water ghost want to do?

Send him back to the dormitory?Really back to the "dormitory" and not somewhere else?

Was he looking for a substitute, as in the folktale?Or just want to hurt him? ! !

Chen Xinfeng, the cool guy who can't be dragged in front of others, is now in tears when facing the water ghost who is getting closer and closer, and he is full of grievances besides fear and helplessness:

why me?

There are so many people, why is it me?

Obviously it is summer now, and I have never done any bad things, even what I am going to do now is good... Why did this terrible water ghost come to me? !

Chen Xinfeng couldn't move, and was about to be grabbed by that horrible skeleton hand.

But at this moment, Chen Xinfeng put a weight on his shoulder, and put an arm on it.

"Xiaofeng, why did you come here?"

Familiar voice, familiar movement, familiar figure.

With the sudden appearance of this person, Chen Xinfeng seemed to be activated by something, and finally he was able to move.

The coldness around was swept away, and the human voice that seemed distant and trance became clearer.

Chen Xinfeng's feet softened, and he almost didn't cry: "Brother Yue——"

Chen Xinfeng turned his head to look at it, but he pressed his face with one hand, unquestionably turning his face to the front, and then the familiar voice sounded again: "Okay, come to the pond at night What are you doing for a stroll, you hurry back to the dormitory, the door will be closed any later, and I should go back too."

Chen Xinfeng turned his head abruptly, he was taken aback, he was very nervous, he thought he would see something scary and not suitable for children.

Unexpectedly, at this time, there was only a short stone road in front of him that could reach the end in two steps, and a classmate not far away who was almost within reach.

——Just now... what happened?

Chen Xinfeng couldn't believe it, but at the same time had a vague premonition.

But that familiar voice didn't give Chen Xinfeng too much time to think, and gently pushed him towards the world.

"Let's go, go back."

Da da.

In just two steps, Chen Xinfeng left the gravel road that had never been reached, stood among the students coming and going, and returned to the human world.

Chen Xinfeng was delighted and flustered at the same time, subconsciously asked: "Then Brother Yue, are you going to—"

Chen Xinfeng turned his head, his voice stopped abruptly.

At this moment, behind him, there is nothing but winding gravel roads and quiet ponds.

There is no fog, no frost, no shadows, no water ghosts... and no Tantai Yue.

Everything is like a dream bubble.

The author has something to say: Originally, I wanted to be stunned, and add a second update, so that everyone can see the author's skills

think about it

Let’s talk about it tomorrow_(:з」∠)_

PS: I saw a lot of little angels saying that the setting of this world is very interesting. I read the outline, and I think it’s okay to expand this article a little bit and write a 60-chapter infinite flow novella.

However, many little angels are here for fast time travel, and the 60 chapters are indeed too long for fast time travel...What do you think?Do you want to expand the setting and length of this world, or just follow the fast-travel process?
