Chapter 272: Strange Thing vs. Alien Monster "Berwenna" (Part )
In silence, Ke Mingye took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally for a moment, then slowly raised his eyes and met the boy's bloodshot eyes again.
The boy's cracked lips were no longer open. He just stared at Ke Mingye, with madness in his calmness.
"What on earth is he?" Ke Mingye turned his head and asked the strange thing.
On the podium, the strange thing turned to face the blackboard after hearing the words and pulled down a whiteboard from above.
It pulled out a ballpoint pen from its butt crack that came from nowhere, and swirled the tip of the pen on the whiteboard, drawing one black swirl after another.
The whirlpools piled up like a hole, and then the strange thing changed to a red pen and drew a miniature of a helpless boy in the black hole. It curled up in the corner, holding its head.
Then it turned around and said quietly, "You know, there are some things, such as the darkness and violence in one's heart, the desire to escape, the separation and twisting of being forced to make choices, which can distort a person's innermost heart... Some people think they are rational and pretend to be indifferent, so everything never existed. In fact, those things have been squeezed into the dark and cramped corners of their hearts, covered with a layer of dust. You think that if you do this, they will no longer exist."
After a pause, the strange creature continued, "But... this is just what you think. In fact, they have always been there. When they step out of the shadows, they will become monsters... They will become monsters that can eat everything clean."
At the end of its speech, its voice was as low as a snake's hiss, and there was a deep light flashing in its eyes.
"Riddler, shut up." Little Red Riding Hood said calmly, "Our Lao Ke House doesn't accept riddlers."
"Did you hear that? Miss Red Riding Hood said 'Riddler shut up'."
Kobe waved his wings and said.
Spider-Man said: "I suggest voting to drive out the weird thing and let it fight the two people outside."
Blue Owl said, "I vote for 1."
Little Red Riding Hood said, "Two votes here."
"Aren't you targeting me?" The strange thing covered its face and cried, defending itself, "I'm not like you. One has the terrifying Crow Man protecting him, one has Xiziyue protecting him, and one has the Anti-Dog to clean up his ass. If it weren't for the Riddler, how could I survive even a second in front of those macho men?"
"Where is Mr. Kobe?" Kobe asked.
"What about you? You and Schneian will die together." Little Red Riding Hood said, "Who else do you want to protect you?"
"Committed suicide." Kobe lowered his head.
While the few people were talking, Ke Mingye stared silently at the hysterical person outside the window.
Blue Owl noticed the look in his eyes.
"Do you understand now..." Blue Owl yawned and spread his hands. "It's not that we don't let him in to vote, but with his character, it would be a miracle if he doesn't kill us all after he comes in."
He paused, tears welling up in his eyes, and said vaguely, "When the time comes, I guess we will have to hold the first 'Ke Mingye Fighting Meeting' in this welfare home."
"My God, this owl actually said something that makes sense. How rare..." Weird Thing grinned, "I also think that 'Weird Thing Lecture Hall' is more interesting than 'Ke Mingye Fighting Club'. We are all civilized people. How can we use violence?"
"Which owl are you talking about?"
Kobe tilted his head.
"I'm talking about the red and blue one." The strange thing coughed and replied seriously.
"I'm sorry, your father's name is Blue Owl." Blue Owl said slowly, "Not an owl, and not red and blue."
The strange thing slapped its forehead and stared at him with empty eyes: "Forget about being a magical girl, after all, she is just a rag picker... Comrade Blue Owl, since you are already a superhero, can you be more civilized? You will be cyberbullied by netizens if you do this."
"I learned it from our Little Red Riding Hood." Blue Owl pointed at Little Red Riding Hood.
"Whose Little Red Riding Hood?" Kobe frowned and winked, then growled angrily.
"Our home," Blue Owl reiterated.
"No." Kobe raised his wings and patted his chest, saying confidently, "This is my home."
"Oh, I'm really sorry for you, the little girl who grew up picking up rags." Little Red Riding Hood paused and added, "Idiots."
Ke Mingye remained quiet from beginning to end, with his head lowered and silent, as if there was a layer of glass separating him from everyone else.
"What about the two people outside? What do you mean by reserve forces?" He opened his mouth and asked in a low voice, "Maybe... they will come into the classroom in the future?"
"That's right, but that's in the future, and it's only when there's a chance... In short, those people outside are too dangerous and incompatible with us."
As it spoke, the weird thing shook its finger and complained in a dissatisfied tone, "Weird things only play with logical and reasonable people. Weird things don't play with those brainless guys who just come up and make moves, such as Qingqingqingqingcrow, Heiheiheiheipan..."
Before he could finish his words, a blazing white spider silk suddenly shot out from nowhere and sealed its mouth tightly.
Seeing this, the strange thing first lowered its head and looked at the spider web on its mouth. Then it tore off the spider web expressionlessly and looked up at the Spider-Man sitting in the middle of the classroom.
It lowered its hollow eyes and asked coldly, "What do you mean?"
"Shut up, you idiot, you keep blabbering, aren't you annoying?" Spider-Man lowered his head to play with his phone, his other hand equipped with the web-shooter still suspended in mid-air, "Paranoia is better than you at making things happen, idiot."
"I feel like I'm not as bigoted as I am anti-dog...gay." Little Red Riding Hood looked at the book.
"In short, since today's voting session has ended, the result of this voting meeting is the same as the last time, a tie." The strange thing shrugged. "It's a pity. At least as far as I know... people who are indecisive never have a good ending. It's very likely that they will get nothing in the end."
It paused and said, "But there is still a long way to go before the end of this year, and nothing has been finalized yet. We can take it slow."
The gray figure was chattering on the podium, but no one paid any attention to it.
Blue Owl ignored the strange thing and turned to the others and said, "By the way, are we really going to have a Ke Ming Ye Fighting Tournament later?"
"Then Mr. Kobe is definitely the well-deserved number one." Kobe snorted coldly.
Spider-Man put his arms behind his head, tilted his head back, and leaned the back of his head on the table behind him. He sighed softly: "Fight if you want, you talk as if any of you are my opponent. Don't forget that your abilities are all taken from me."
He paused, then looked at Kobe sideways: "And...what do you call a contracted beast? If you fight, won't you just be thrown around like a ball?"
Hearing this, Kobe suddenly roared: "Don't underestimate the bond between me and Little Red Riding Hood!"
"If that happens, I will be the first to kill you." Little Red Riding Hood said to it in a calm tone.
"Damn it... Is this what it feels like to be abandoned by everyone?" Kobe raised his wings to cover his face.
Ke Mingye was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at the corridor again. The figure leaning on the window had disappeared. Only another young man was leaning against the wall, with his eyes lowered, silently flipping through a book.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Suddenly, Ke Mingye heard the strange thing say this sentence, and in a girl's accent.
He was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the strange thing.
The strange creature put its hand in its mouth and shrugged innocently, indicating that the sound just now was not made by itself. But its face suddenly changed, turning into a clear and slightly aggressive girl.
Then the strange thing put his hands on his hips and said softly, "Brother, what's wrong with you... wake up, wake up."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene in front of Ke Mingye suddenly shattered, like glass.
Then, the debris came towards us like a countercurrent of heavy rain. In that brief moment, the passage of time seemed to slow down a lot.
He could see many things among the flying debris.
Everyone's face was reflected on the surface of these fragments. Some fragments reflected the figure of the strange creature, some fragments reflected the blue owl, some reflected Little Red Riding Hood and Kobe, some reflected Spider-Man, some reflected the young man reading a book outside the classroom, and some reflected... a gloomy face shrouded in scarlet.
He opened his eyes, or rather, he had already opened his eyes.
Ke Mingye came back to his senses, moved back, and stared blankly at the face reflected in his eyes.
Baizini raised her eyebrows, her little face full of surprise, and waved her hand in front of him.
"How did you get in?" Ke Mingye was stunned for a moment, holding his forehead, and asked curiously.
"Your door is not locked." Bai Zini paused, stared into his eyes, and asked seriously, "Compared to this, brother, are you okay? I saw you staring at the bookshelf in a daze just now, and you didn't respond no matter how I called you."
"I'm fine." Ke Mingye shook his head, "Just... I feel a little dizzy and I'm thinking about something."
"Ha...you were in a daze in front of me for so long, were you just thinking about something?"
"Ms. Bai Zini, we psychics are sometimes like this. We are all superhumans, so please be understanding."
"Really?"
"Really." Hearing this, the two people in the room were silent for a while.
"That day when we went to the beach, you clearly promised me that you wouldn't lie to me or hide anything from me."
"I didn't..." Ke Mingye sighed, "Aren't you magical girls also criticized for not taking a bath or changing clothes every day? Superhumans have their own troubles."
Bai Zini was so angry that she immediately explained: "During non-combat time, the magic dress will automatically clean and repair itself. Why would you need to take a shower and change clothes?"
"That's it... I don't understand magical girls, and you don't understand psychics. We just get dizzy sometimes."
"Okay then... shall we go for a walk?"
"Yeah, let's go for a walk."
As he spoke, Ke Mingye got up from the bed, took a sip of the oolong tea that was still on the bedside table, and then walked out of the room. He walked to the next room and was about to knock on the door to ask the two people inside if they wanted to come out for a walk together.
However, at this moment, he was suddenly startled and his right hand stopped in mid-air, as if he realized something.
The next moment, he immediately switched to You Minglu's perspective.
I looked down at my hands and saw that they were holding the handle; I looked up and saw a line of dazzling cartoon words reflected on the TV in my field of vision - "Congratulations on completing the level."
Shi Naian took a breath and asked listlessly, "Is this really your first time?"
"I was just... playing games?" You Minglu put down the controller and asked expressionlessly.
"How else did we get through?"
As he spoke, Shi Naian bit a potato chip, turned his head slightly, and looked at her in surprise, "Senior, you are not sleepwalking, are you?"
"Just this minute, I was playing games?"
You Minglu asked further.
"You're playing, and you're doing well." Shi Naian sighed, put down the controller, hugged her knees, and rubbed her fingers on the blanket. She said gloomily, "This is the first time I've seen someone so good at playing for the first time. Sure enough, this is a talented magical girl. Sure enough, I can't do anything."
Hearing this, Ke Mingye stood at the door in shock for a moment, then raised his hand and knocked on the door, and asked the two people inside: "My sister and I are going for a walk, do you want to come?"
"No thanks." "No thanks."
The two of them answered in unison. As homegirls, it was unlikely that they would have a second answer.
"What do you want them to do?" Bai Zini pulled the door handle, closed the door of Ke Mingye's room, and asked unhappily.
"They come to live in our house, we can't just ignore them."
Ke Mingye said as he walked downstairs with Bai Zini. When he passed the kitchen, he glanced at Bai Wenna.
"Mom, let's go for a walk," he said.
Bai Wenna was wearing a kitchen apron and tidying up the kitchen cabinets. Without turning her head, she said, "Come back early. Don't be like your father. He always says he's going downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes, but ends up coming back late at night."
"it is good."
After saying that, Ke Mingye picked up his phone and looked at the screen. He slowly walked towards the entrance, leaned against the shoe cabinet and mechanically changed into his sneakers. Then he walked out of the house and stood in front of the elevator, waiting for a moment for the car to go up.
"Are you really okay?" the girl asked in the dark.
"fine."
Bai Zini heard this, still frowning slightly and unwilling to let him go. She tiptoed slightly, raised her hand, gently covered Ke Mingye's forehead, feeling the warmth coming from her palm.
After a moment, Ke Mingye took a deep breath.
"I don't have a fever," he said.
Bai Zini finally let go of her hand, put her hands behind her back, and whispered, "Why are you acting so weird today?"
"I told you, people with special abilities will sometimes behave like this." Ke Mingye sighed softly, "You are not a person with special abilities, what do you know? Can you please stop dwelling on this matter?"
"Why are you so fierce? I won't ask."
"Ask again, you are a dog."
"Wang."
Ke Mingye was slightly stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes from the phone screen and looked at Bai Zini unhappily.
"Are you really okay?" Bai Zini asked him with her head tilted.
"Well..." Ke Mingye looked at her, then looked at the floor, "I'm fine, don't worry."
"But I did discover one thing."
"what's up?"
"Brother, you seem to have grown a lot taller recently."
"Is there any?"
"Have."
Baizini said, thinking that she didn't even need to stand on tiptoe to touch his head before.
She looked at Ke Mingye's profile. His face looked much thinner, his complexion was a little pale, and his body was thinner as well, but he was a head taller than before.
"You're already in your second year of high school, it's normal for you to grow taller. If you don't grow taller, you won't have the chance." Ke Mingye disagreed. "To be honest, I don't ask to be as tall as my dad. I'll be satisfied if I can grow as tall as my eldest and second brothers."
"You wish. I will surpass you next year."
Ke Mingye said sarcastically, "Haha, just a reminder, when that comet falls, I won't be a magical girl next year. Then I won't be able to use the magical girl to make myself taller. You might as well transform now while you can barely touch my nose."
"Oh, you mean you want me to transform and go for a walk with you?"
"Humor... Then I'll also wear the Blue Owl uniform and walk with you on the street. You'll see if it becomes a hot topic tomorrow."
"Just make it to the trending search list, this way there will be fewer female heroes harassing you."
"You're not going to look at my phone?"
"You were the one who showed me your phone last time on the Ferris wheel."
While chatting, the two walked into the elevator car.
The elevator door slowly closed and went up. Through the gap, one could see that the lights at the entrance of the staircase were off. The door of Bo Ke's house was shrouded in darkness, dim and without any light.
However... at the last moment when the elevator door was about to close completely, someone suddenly opened the door through the slowly shrinking gap, and a face popped out from inside. The woman's face was shrouded in the flickering light, and in the darkness, she cast a look.
hum...
buzzing...
The hum of the elevator lingered in my ears.
Ke Mingye stared blankly at the completely closed elevator door, recalling the look that Bai Wenna had given him just now.
He took a breath of the dull air, then lowered his head, his eyes obscured by his dark hair.
After a moment, he slowly raised his eyes from his hair, then switched perspective, shifting his attention to the second deception doll that was placed on the rooftop of a nearby residential building.
"Anyway, I'll have to find my mom sooner or later...it's just a matter of time."
Thinking of this, Ke Mingye controlled the trick puppet to grab the blazing white spider silk in mid-air and flew towards the duplex apartment building at a speed like a storm. After a while, it shuttled in like a beam of gray lightning.
It squatted on the windowsill, raised its eyes, and looked through the kitchen window at the interior of the house with a blank gaze.
The light bulb in the living room flickered, and black and white snow noise was appearing on the TV screen. Then, accompanied by the sound of a door closing, a sound of footsteps came from the entrance, and then a figure slowly appeared in its sight.
