There was no water at home, so he gave up on making breakfast and ate some dry food. Then, Jiang Ying said,"Rest at home for a while. I'll go back to school to see if there's anything else I can help with. I'll be back later.”
"I'll go with you. I'm going back to school.”Yun Zhao said,"At the same time, check if my bed was smashed and if my things are still there."”
"Then come back with me later. I still have something for you later. The school building and playground are all broken. I think the school will have to take a break for a period of time. At least half a month, at most a month.。”
"Is it that serious? I don't know. I don't know what to do when I go back. I might stay in school. There should be many students staying there.”she said uncertainly.
"We'll see. Let's go." After saying that, he pulled her into the car.
When he returned to school, Yun Zhao found that his surroundings were in a mess. However, other than the extremely old dormitory, everything else was fine. The whole place was still there, so he really needed to take a break.
Yun Zhao went back to the dormitory alone. His roommates were basically all there. Their dormitory was fine. Other than the broken glass that fell to the ground, there was nothing else. Only some of the outer layer of the wall fell to the ground.
His roommates were busy tidying up and cleaning up. Yun Zhao realized that there was a lot of dirt on his bed. It was a mess, and many things needed to be washed.
Everyone was talking about yesterday's earthquake. They said that they were lucky that it wasn't the epicenter of the earthquake, so there weren't many casualties. Some people were injured, but they hadn't heard of anyone dying yet. However, they heard that someone from other schools was killed.
At the mention of this, everyone fell silent again. Yun Zhao's roommate, Xie Lin, suddenly asked Yun Zhao,"How did you know there would be an earthquake? We all thought you were crazy when you suddenly acted like that yesterday.”
Yun Zhao said as he tidied up his things,"When I was young, we had a few earthquakes.”
"Then how did you find out?"
"I saw that the light was a little shaky, but it was very weak. Those who were inexperienced might have thought that it was the wind, but when I tried it, there was no wind, so I knew that it was an earthquake.”She spoke very persuasively.
"That's true. At first, I thought that my classmate was pushing my chair from behind, so I didn't react.”Xie Lin said with a smile.
Yun Zhao smiled and didn't say anything. He tidied the bed and washed everything that needed to be washed. It was already noon.
"Are you going back during the holidays?" Xie Lin asked her," Twenty days."”
"No."
"Why didn't you come back after so long? Aren't you afraid of being alone in the dormitory?”
"All of you go back?" Yun Zhao asked in surprise.
"Yeah, twenty days! Why are you staying in school? The cafeteria is not open. I reckon that those who stay in school will have to move to the same dormitory building. It's quite troublesome.”
Err…Even so, she still didn't want to go back. Besides her grandfather, there was no one else in the house, and that old man didn't like her.
It was fine if she was alone. She would see if Chen Wanjun and the others would come back. If they didn't, she would sleep in their dormitory tonight.
After washing her things, she followed the school's rules and took a blanket to the designated dormitory to occupy a spot. Then, she went to Chen Wanjun's dormitory to look for her. As expected, she was in the dormitory, packing her things.
"Are you going home?" Yun Zhao quickly asked.
"No, but my aunt told me to stay at her house and not run around. What about you?”
Yun Zhao took a deep breath and said,"If I don't go back, then you won't go back to the dormitory at night?"”
Chen Wanjun shook her head and said,""I'm not going back. Do you want to come with me to my aunt's house to play?”
"Then forget it. Can you come out to play during the day?”
"It depends on the situation. I'll send you a message when I need to go out.”
"Alright then." After she had lunch with Chen Wanjun, her classmates went home one after another. Chen Wanjun went home with her aunt, and Lin Yuchen went to her relatives 'house. Yun Zhao received a message from Jiang Ying and asked her if she was ready. He was waiting for her at the school gate.
Yun Zhao followed him into the car. On the way, Yun Zhao realized that there was signal on his phone. She quickly called home. When they heard that she was staying in school, they didn't say much. They only told her to be careful and not to go out and run around before hanging up.
"Your family still cares about you.”he said.
Yun Zhao didn't say anything. Maybe.
"Are you afraid of living alone on campus?" he asked.
"What's there to be afraid of? Besides, I'm not the only one. Those who are staying in school are gathered in the same dormitory building.”
"Don't hide and cry alone at night.”
"How is that possible?" If he was really scared, he could still go to the internet cafe and stay up all night. There were so many people in the internet cafe, so what was there to be afraid of?
"Do you go to the internet cafe at night when you're afraid?”He turned to look at her and asked.
"How did you know?" She was slightly surprised.
"I guessed."
How could he guess that? She indeed felt that the internet cafe was quite safe. There were many people and it was lively. No matter when she woke up, there would always be someone awake.
"These few days, there have been power and water cuts everywhere. The internet cafe is closed, and the school cafeteria is closed. There are not many people staying in school. It's not safe for you to stay there alone.”he said calmly.
Not many people in the school were fine, but the internet cafe didn't have this…She scratched her head. That was her safe haven, the homeland and home of her soul.
"No need." She wondered what her father would do to her.
"Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
" That's not it either," she said." I didn't even ask for leave.”
"This is a small matter. I'll just tell the form teacher.”
"No need, no need." she said hurriedly.
He didn't say anything else and drove silently. After a while, he asked again,"What happened to your eyes that day in class?”
Yun Zhao thought for a moment and shook his head. How would she know? She was also confused.
"Do people's pupils really erect?”she asked.
"I don't know. The world is so big, it's not strange for anything to happen.”
She glanced at Jiang Ying and saw that he didn't respond. She continued,""There are many such cases overseas.”
"Is that so?" He was slightly curious.
"Yes, but those people are called lizardmen, also known as reptiles. It is said that they came from outer space and lived on Earth disguised as humans, so their pupils would unconsciously erect from time to time.”
Jiang Ying smiled but didn't say anything.
" But I'm not a lizard-man," Yun Zhao said." I'm just a normal person who eats grains. Why would I?"”She asked in confusion.
"Then what did you see at that time? Did you feel anything unusual in your body?”he asked.
"At that time, I saw light spots and illusions. I saw a huge beast as big as a mountain break out of the ground. Then, the earth shook and many people screamed.”
"Didn't you think it had something to do with this earthquake?”he asked.
Yun Zhao paused and didn't know what to say. After a long time, she asked,"Do you mean that such a giant beast really exists? It caused an earthquake?"
"Why not?"
Yun Zhao shook his head and denied,"But I didn't see the news report. If there really is such a huge thing, it can't be that there weren't any reports."”
" Maybe it's not something that the naked eye can capture," he said." It's like a ghost. Many people can't see it, but it really exists around us.”
" But…" She was speechless. Ghosts were the remnant souls of people after death, but what was that mountain-like thing?
"If there really is such a huge thing, what do they eat? Where do you live?" she asked.
"Who knows?" he said.
When they reached home, Jiang Ying said that he had to send a message first. There was a small door in the backyard where they could go out to fetch water. After tidying up, he would draw a talisman for her to bring back. Yun Zhao took the bucket and went to the backyard to get water for him.
The water in the stream was very clear. Beside it were clean rocks. There was a pool under the rocks. The water was neither deep nor shallow. It was just right to swim in the hot weather. It was also miraculous that the earthquake did not damage the place.
She couldn't help but play in the water for a while. This place was similar to her grandmother's house. There were many fruit trees, streams, and big trees. When she was young, she spent a lot of time with her grandmother. Although that place was more isolated and poor than her own home, and the house was lower than her hometown, her grandmother was still okay with her. She never hit her. When she went to work in the mountains, she would bring her some wild fruits.
But…Forget it, don't think about it. She threw those unhappy things out of her head and happily stepped on the water alone. There were some round pebbles in the water. She didn't cut her feet and picked up some beautiful stones to place on the big stones beside her, ready to bring them back to play.
She felt that she was almost done after picking up the items in the water for a while. Just as she was about to go back, she raised her head and suddenly saw a person. She was instantly stunned on the spot. It was a…Forgive her for her lack of vocabulary, but it was a man in black. He wore a strange military uniform and held a very wide black sword in his hand. There was a cloak behind him and a silver-black devil mask. There were two black beast horns on his head. The aura around him was cold and terrifying, like a demon from the depths of hell. It was so out of place with the warmth and beauty here.
He just stood there and stared at her. Yun Zhao felt his hair and fur stand on end. Was that a ghost? Or something else? She felt as if her heart was about to stop beating. An extreme fear and chill swept through her entire body.
She calmed herself down and looked away. She wanted to pretend that she did not see him and walk back naturally.
"Jiang Ying should be almost out of electricity.”She muttered to herself as she slowly stood up. Her legs were trembling slightly.
She naturally filled a bucket of water and turned around to pick up the beautiful stone beside her. Just as she was about to go back, she suddenly felt a chill on her back. She hurriedly turned around and was shocked to find that the person had silently moved behind her and was staring at her. She was so scared that her hands went weak. The bucket and the beautiful stone fell to the ground. Then, she subconsciously took a step back and pressed against the stone behind her.
The thing took another step forward. She wanted to call for help, but a sound came out of her throat. She couldn't move her body, so she closed her eyes in fear.
Suddenly, she felt a chill on her lips. Then, something reached into her mouth. She opened her eyes in shock and found that the thing had lifted a corner of her mask and kissed her…
Her mind was torn apart. She struggled with all her might, but her body could not move. She felt as if she was being possessed by a nightmare. It was not like this had never happened before. Previously, in the dormitory, she dreamed of a dried corpse pressing down on her. Then, the dried corpse kissed her in the same way and kept sucking something out of her mouth. Then, his lips that were like dried branches slowly became plump. His entire dried body seemed to have suddenly gained life and became alive. Then, he turned into a man. After he had sucked enough, he left on his own.
However, she wasn't dreaming today. She had encountered a ghost when she hadn't fallen asleep during the day. She gritted her teeth tightly and chanted all the Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, ghosts, and gods in her heart. She chanted Namo Amitabha countless times, but there was no sign of her surroundings relaxing at all.
What should he do? She was anxious. That thing had no intention of letting go at all. It kissed her hard. The dried corpse from before only touched her lips. This was good. Its tongue was directly in.
Just as she was anxious, Yun Zhao suddenly heard footsteps. She was delighted. Jiang Ying must have seen that she had not appeared for a long time and came to look for her.
"Han Yunzhao?" Jiang Ying called out to her.
She wanted to respond, but she could not say a word. When the footsteps approached, the thing pinched her chin and suddenly disappeared.
