nThe dazzling sunlight was blinding.

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

nSuddenly, 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.

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

nXiao Chen jolted, and slapped his temple.

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

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

nThe 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.

nIt 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.

nMine! This is mine!

nHeehee.

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

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

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

nBefore 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.

nThousands of miles without clouds, leaving only darkness.

nXiao Chen’s heart suddenly thumped.

nThe world spun.

nAs if wrapped in a layer of darkness.

nWhat was happening?!

nXiao Chen was terrified.

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

nNo moon, no stars, even no street lights …

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

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

nThunder rolled and lightning flashed.

n“Rumble, boom–!”

nA loud sound.

nXiao Chen trembled again.

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

nIndeed, he was still at the school gate.

nHe listened to the deafening thunder and clenched his fists.

nDamn it! What happened! Was he dreaming?

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

nThe 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.

nThis 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.

n“Rustle–”

nSomething floated past him and made a sound.

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

nXiao 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.

n“Crack crack–”

nLike the sound of bones being crushed

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

nThreateningly cold energy, cold and terrifying.

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

n“Heehee heehee ha ha ha ha–”

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

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

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

n

n

nG-ghosts!

nThe 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.

nXiao 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.

n“…”

nThe expected pain did not arise.

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

n“…”

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

nThe 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.

n“Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah–”

nThe 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.

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

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

nHis mouth widened slightly and his pupils trembled.

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

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

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

nThe two were speechless.

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

nThe shadow did not give chase.

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

nThe shadow walked slowly towards where Xiao Chen was sitting.

nXiao 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.

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

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

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

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

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

nXiao 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!

nIf 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.

nXiao Chen covered his heart again.

nHe could feel some dull pain there.

nGu Luming.

nIs it you?

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

nXiao 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.

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

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

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

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

nDon’t cry, don’t cry, I’m here.

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

nHold on! Hold on!

nSoon!

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

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

nA plume of black smoke escaped through the glass windows.

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

nAfter 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.

n“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!”

n

n

n“Go, go, go!”

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

nHe leaned on the wall and slowly stood up.

nThe 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.

nSimply 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.

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

nIn 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.

nOne 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?”

nEveryone 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.

nThe security guards exchanged glances.

nThe horror they saw in each other’s eyes.

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

nHe pushed that thing with a fire extinguisher.

nBang, bang. Hard.

nShit, it’s really human.

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

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

nFuck.

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

nHe was still standing there, unmoving.

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

nIt was Chen Liu.

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

nThe 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…”

nBefore 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.”

nIn the end, it returned to peace.

nThere was a moment of silence.

n“AHHHHH–”

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

nThere was a car accident behind him.

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

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

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

nThere 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.

nBefore his eyes was a blur of blood.

nThe 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.

nNot breathing.

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

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

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

nIt’s over!

nChen Liu is dead.

nThe author has something to say: Hehehe, heeheehee.

nBe sure to remember to pay attention to my pre-released series “Blackened Bosses Were All My Boyfriends”! (Speaking quietly, I have already started to save the manuscript!)

nThe translator has something to say: adding tn notes later! twice concert today 😀
