Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 218 Greed and Evil Thoughts

----

That day Lu You walked half a circle in the small park and decided to return because he couldn't stand the sun.On the way back, he remembered the meadow next to the pond where his parents would take him for picnics on weekends when he was a child, and he took a detour to take a look.Over the years, the facilities in the park have changed several times. The pavilion next to the grass was demolished. A well near the pond was filled with wood and soil and sealed with cement boards a few years ago because a child stumbled into it. Wellhead.When Lu You passed by, he saw dark green creepers entwined around the stone well fence, and unknown weeds with small yellow flowers blooming between the stone cracks.

It feels like it was not long ago. When I want to recall carefully but find that the details in my memory have been blurred, I will realize the passage of time and the changes caused by the river washing away sand and stones.Lu You stood by the well for a while, delusion can still hear the sound of water flowing at the bottom of the well, the breath of cold water in midsummer rises from the cracks in the cement, like a ghost fleeing from the dark to the sun.He remembered that Yuan Xiaoxiao used to be terrified of the world at the bottom of the well, and wondered if this fear had disappeared now.

On the way home, when passing a small road that could barely pass by a car, Lu You felt the feeling of being watched again.

You can hear the traffic and voices on the street from a distance, but it is very quiet nearby. There should be construction going on nearby. Lu You stepped on the fine sand and gravel scattered on the ground, and heard the sound of his own footsteps. There were also some other voices.But no matter whether he speeded up or slowed down his pace, or even stood still and held his breath to listen, the voice would stop immediately.

Lu You didn't want to feel that he was being suspicious, but after repeating this a few times, he also became a little uncertain: Is it really just an illusion?He looked back several times, and saw passers-by who looked back blankly at his actions, and bicycles that had nothing to do with him.There was only one time when I turned around, something seemed to fly past me out of the corner of my eye... But even if I read it correctly, it was probably just a small creature like a mouse.

It is broad daylight now, and the hot and bright sun is so bright that people can't open their eyes. In such an environment, Lu You didn't think about ghosts and ghosts at all.After being "dropped" twice by the car behind because he was walking too slowly, he gave up searching and decided to speed up his pace and prepare to leave here as soon as possible.

When walking out of the intersection, a motorcycle slowly drove towards him and passed Lu You.Lu You took a few steps before realizing something, and turned back to look at the car that just drove past.The rider on the motorcycle was wearing a helmet, hunched shoulders, and a tropical-style shirt with a tacky print. The motorcycle was dirty and dusty, and the rear bumper was smashed.

Lu You watched the man ride the motorcycle away along the road, wondering: This car... seems to be the one that drove from behind him to the front just a few minutes ago?He still remembered that there was a rag doll decoration hanging on the handle of the rearview mirror on the left side of the motorcycle, like a girl's favorite ornament.It's just that when he was driving head-on just now, he was so busy avoiding it that he didn't have time to realize it and confirm it.

…Maybe the man was just going the wrong way?Lu You thought for a while, but felt that there was something unspeakably uncomfortable. He attributed it to the sun being too hot, and the restlessness that has continued since he separated from Qi Zhengyun.However, the road back was peaceful, and the noise in the footsteps did not reappear, nor did the dilapidated motorcycle that Lu You cared about.

Lu You returned home, turned on the air conditioner in the study, took out the papers arranged by the school and put them on the table.Although he promised that Qi Zhengyun would come back to "discuss the idea", he subconsciously avoided this matter, preferring to do the most annoying math problems.Lu You took the note with the phone number written on it that Qi Zhengyun gave him out of his pocket, stared at it for a while, rolled it up and stuffed it into the pen holder on the table, then took the pen and started to make the paper.Because of his concentration, he forgot all the things on the road before in a moment.

A few minutes after Lu You left the path, a small furry black head cautiously poked out from behind a pile of gravel and wood chips scattered by the wall.It was full of vigilance, sniffing the air with its nose moving, and got out of the rubble pile step by step.None of the passers-by around noticed this little guy.After a while, it seemed to judge that the threat no longer existed, and finally relaxed, and turned to leave——

Then he bumped into an obstacle that appeared behind him at some point.By the time it knew something was wrong and turned its head to run, it was too late.Qi Zhengyun immediately wrapped his tentacles around its feet and grabbed it from the ground—this scene, in the eyes of others, was just a man who seemed to be unapproachable and solemnly picked up a stray kitten That's all.

The soft touch of the kitten's fluff filled the fingers.Qi Zhengyun frowned and looked at the little monster struggling endlessly in his palm. The aura on it showed that it was indeed the one that had been haunting Lu You for the past few days.But this little thing... doesn't seem to be aggressive at all.Qi Zhengyun squeezed its paws, adding a little strength to his hands, and the claws of the struggling cat stretched out, hooking his fingertips without pain.

"You..." Why did you keep following Lu You?Qi Zhengyun was going to ask a question before pinching it to death, so as not to kill innocent people by mistake when it could be avoided.After all, the possibility that it just really wanted a master couldn't be ruled out... But before he could finish asking this question, he felt that his hand was empty.The pure black kitten caught in his palm seemed to suddenly turn into a volumeless and weightless shadow, breaking free from the shackles of his palms and tentacles, and slipping out of his hand.

Instead of fighting back, but escaping in this unexpected way, Qi Zhengyun was a little late to react, and watched the little monster quickly escape into the crack by the wall.Although if he changes his form immediately to chase it, or directly destroys the wall with his tentacles, there is more than [-]% certainty that he will be able to catch it immediately, but it is also very likely that passers-by not far away will see it.

With such a moment of hesitation, Qi Zhengyun once again lost the breath of that little monster.He felt the remaining power fluctuations in his hands, and it was weaker than he had imagined before. It really didn't seem like the type that would regard humans as prey... Qi Zhengyun didn't feel much regret, but just ran away to it thoughtfully looked in the direction.

It doesn't matter if you run away, if you dare to come back, don't even think about leaving again.Qi Zhengyun decided to go back to Lu You's side and wait for the rabbit. He turned around and paused: a motorcycle with a dusty body came from the other side of the road. The car looked old, but it didn't make any noise when it passed him.The man on the bike glanced at Qi Zhengyun through the opening of his helmet, and Qi Zhengyun saw a pair of dark and fierce eyes like a biting wild dog.

The man turned his eyes away, stepped up the accelerator and drove away.Qi Zhengyun balances the vigilance and suspicion rising in his heart when he goes back to stay by Lu You's side, and in the end he is even more worried about the existence of monsters, so he speeds up and rushes back.

----

Lu You noticed something unusual: he was suddenly not welcomed by mosquitoes.

He thought about it Sunday night as he got out of the shower and was getting ready for bed, before he realized what seemed to be going on for days.Because he doesn't like the smell of the newly bought mosquito repellent toilet water, he usually forgets to spray it. Every time he is bitten by mosquitoes for several packs, he only remembers it, and then painstakingly applies the anti-itch lotion.But he didn't do anything in the past few days, but all the mosquitoes in the house mysteriously disappeared. Even when the air conditioner was turned off and the windows were opened for ventilation, he was never bitten by mosquitoes again.

Lu You sat beside the bed in pajamas with long sleeves and trousers, rolled up his sleeves and looked at a mosquito bag on his arm that was about to fade away.There was only the faint hum of the air conditioner in the room, and the little spiders that used to climb up the ceiling didn't appear again.

I don't know if it's his illusion, except for the disappearance of mosquitoes in the past two days, even the annoying heat in the air has eased a little. Obviously, the temperature has been only rising but not falling-but it is different from Lu You's body feeling, The green radishes and hanging baskets placed on the windowsill became wilted, and the leaves turned a little yellow. He increased the frequency of watering but did not improve.

Lu You put the clothes to be worn tomorrow on the chair beside the bed, checked the schoolbag again, made sure that all the things that should be brought were put away, and prepared to close the curtains.The orientation of this bedroom is not very good, the sun can't shine in the morning, and the street lights at night are so bright that people can't sleep.When drawing the curtains, Lu You casually glanced downstairs. It was already very quiet in the community after eleven o'clock, and there was no one on the road.

Just as Lu You was looking at the road illuminated by lights, a kitten emerged from the grass by the side of the road and swaggered across the road.The kitten was covered in black, stopped in the middle of the road, and turned around to take a look—it seemed to be deliberately looking at the window where Lu You was.

Is it the one he saw at the gate of the community?Or its siblings?It is said that black cats are ominous omens, but some people say that they just wander around in places where misfortune is about to happen, trying to warn people but being misunderstood.Lu You thought so, and watched the black cat trot across the road and into the bushes opposite.

A shadow fell on the window sill from an oblique side, mixing with the shadows of the window frame and spider plants.Lu You didn't notice this difference, and didn't know that if he looked out of the window in the direction of the shadow, he would find that the man who frequently appeared by his side recently was standing on the window sill of the upstairs next door—— The subject, this lens can be used to shoot thrillers.Unaware, Lu You calmly closed the curtains, returned to the bed and turned off the light.

The room was plunged into darkness, and Qi Zhengyun heard the sound of fabric rubbing through the glass window, and soon everything became quiet.He was leaning against the railing of the balcony, which was the most suitable place he had just found: the family had gone on a trip not long ago and would not be back for another week.From the side of the monster pretending to be a human, subtle fluctuations are spreading to the surrounding circles. Passing by people is like a moist and cool sea breeze, but it can make weak monsters stand on end when they pass by. .

This is the most labor-saving strategy that Qi Zhengyun has determined after trying several methods.He really doesn't want to continue playing whack-a-mole with his tentacles, it's bloody and messy, and it's a little disgusting—he's already heard someone downstairs complaining that "the eyeless sparrow hit the glass window, and the fallen corpse Dirty clothes."Mosquitoes, spiders and other small things will also be avoided, which is a surprise. As for the side effect of Lu You's potted plants becoming half dead due to soil salinization... I can only say sorry to them.

He will find an opportunity to secretly exchange soil for them.

Such a scene is somewhat similar to the end of the last reincarnation, but the mood and state of the people in it are already different.Qi Zhengyun leaned his arms on the railing, and suddenly missed the sleep he didn't really need on such a night.Buried deep in his heart was the fear of losing control again, and the anxiety caused by the fear followed him closely like an invisible ghost-but he couldn't turn around and fight it with all his strength, because it was another Kind of out of control.

I really want to sneak into the room and hug Lu You to sleep... Qi Zhengyun looked up at the moon hanging in the sky, and sighed sadly.No matter how early his intervention in Lu You's life is, how much it will benefit their relationship and this task, at this time of feeling lonely, he will still look forward to it very short-sightedly if he can span from Lu You's childhood to the present. The same, it would be nice if a few years passed in a flash——

The so-called "humanoid" desire | desire.Qi Zhengyun clicked his tongue in his heart.He was basking in the moonlight, although it didn't have the effect of cultivation, but at least it was more comfortable than sunlight, when he suddenly heard a strange movement.

He listened carefully for a few seconds, and he was sure that the sound came from the door of Lu You's house.Qi Zhengyun walked half a circle from the outside of the house and found that the anti-theft iron door downstairs was open and blocked with bricks.While thinking about why there are people who like to do this everywhere, he walked up the stairs pretending to be a late resident.As soon as he reached the second floor, someone came down from the upstairs with a pungent smell of smoke on his body. When he met Qi Zhengyun on the narrow road on the stairs, he didn't stop walking at all, and squeezed past him and went downstairs.

Humanity?Although the smell of smoke was worse than that of some monsters, Qi Zhengyun confirmed it.He continued to go upstairs, and when he arrived at the door of Lu You's house, he heard the sound of starting a motorcycle downstairs, and then the sound of the window frame being pulled open in a hurry. "Baby..." A trembling old voice emerged from the noise of the motorcycle, "I knew it was you as soon as I heard the footsteps. Why are you back so late? Why don't you come in?"

The voice immediately left the kitchen window and walked into the house, "You forgot to bring the key, right? Wait for grandma to open it for you..."

The motorcycle made a sound of "Woo--", and it was the person riding on the motorcycle who stepped on the accelerator. "Who said I'm coming back?" the cyclist said impatiently, and at the same time lowered his voice with a guilty conscience, "Don't worry about what I'm here for, I'm leaving—by the way, has my aunt been back recently? ?”

"Do you want to ask your aunt to borrow money again? You haven't paid back what you borrowed last time." The old man heard the meaning behind his grandson's words at once, but he just said it lightly, and then said: "She's going down When I came back, I told her. Why are you leaving again? Do you want to go back to your girlfriend? Grandma told you, that woman really can’t have it, it’s too vain, and she can move in when I come back last time. She still refuses to..."

The old man was still babbling, but the man was getting impatient.He didn't refute, and asked ferociously: "Don't you say you're going to open the door?" The old man responded with a "hey", turned his head happily and walked towards the door.The man on the motorcycle waited for the figure of the old man to disappear from the window, cursed in a low voice, "Damn old woman", knocked back the foot of the motorcycle with his heel, and kicked off the accelerator.

He didn't turn on the lights, and suddenly a dark thing ran in front of the car. He subconsciously shifted his hand to avoid it, and almost crashed into the bushes on the side of the road.The frightened black cat in front of the car quickly ran away. The man managed to stabilize the front of the car, let out a vulgar curse, spat on the road again, cursed and accelerated the accelerator and drove away.

Qi Zhengyun stood on the third floor without moving, and could clearly hear the low-pitched voice and various noises below.After the old lady on the first floor who told him about Lu You's house a few days ago opened the door and went out, after waiting for a while on the side of the road where no one was there before returning in frustration, he touched the lock on the door of Lu You's house. There were a few brand new scratches on the hole and the side of the door, and he withdrew his hand thoughtfully.
