Chu Lu could guess why the high school student froze.

When he looked down at his hands just now, he noticed that although he did not have any wounds on his body, his sleeves and hems were covered with dry and slightly blackened spots. Coupled with the faint smell of rust that came into his nose, it was very obvious what these spots were.

——In the dark alley, there stood a little boy covered in blood.

This is the typical start to a horror story.

Although the system has not yet revealed which world this is, based on Chu Lu's observations, this is generally a peaceful world where people cannot easily accept the current situation.

Chu Lu was not about to become an urban legend. He was about to explain, but the high school student's subsequent reaction was extremely strange.

The high school student froze for a moment when his eyes met Chu Lu's, and then he quickly looked away naturally, as if he had not seen anything just now.

But Chu Lu noticed that his hands in his school uniform pockets were clearly clenched into fists.

Chu Lu:?

Is this literally "defiant" attitude some new trend among young people?

No matter how many worlds you go to, it is always the most difficult to figure out what a child of this age is thinking.

Chu Lu hesitated for a moment. Since the other party had no intention of interfering, should he also leave here quickly?

Just as he was thinking this, a short scream suddenly came from the entrance of the alley.

Two people in the alley turned their heads at the same time and saw a young woman in professional attire with a bag hanging from her arm looking inside with horror on her face.

Seeing that the high school student was about to go out, she couldn't help but stagger back a few steps. The tip of her high heels was hit by a small stone on the road, and the woman lost her balance and fell to the ground.

The boy hurriedly took two steps forward, as if he wanted to help her, but the woman became even more panicked. She almost used her hands and feet to move backwards, and then hurriedly took out her cell phone, tremblingly holding it up to signal, "Don't come over! Don't come over!!"

“I called the police!!”

The boy who was about to help:?

Although he didn't see the high school student's face, Chu Lu could guess that he was in a confused state.

The phone in her hand seemed to give the woman some sense of security. She took a deep breath and looked past the high school student to Chu Lu behind her, "Run! Go to the police station!!"

Chu Lu: "..."

He suddenly realized——

A little boy covered in blood standing in an alley is the beginning of a horror film;

But if a little boy covered in blood is standing in an alley with a high school student who looks like he's not someone to be messed with, that's a bullying scene.

Chu Lu felt that he needed to explain on behalf of this high school student who was also an innocent passerby.

Although the other person does look a bit fierce, his aura is very clean and he should be a good person.

But before Chu Lu could come up with a suitable excuse, the high school student spoke first, "My brother's drink spilled."

Chu Lu: "..."

This excuse is really lame.

If he was really a five-year-old boy, he would have cried out "This is not my brother" in this situation. In this case, wouldn't this boy be more suspicious? And "drinks"? Special for vampires? ...

Although Chu Lu was full of complaints about this excuse, the woman sitting on the ground was obviously comforted by this sentence. However, she still looked at the two children, one big and one small, in the alley with some hesitation.

One has upturned almond eyes, sharp features, and thin lips that are tightly pursed. She doesn't look like a good student at first glance. The other has big, round eyes, chubby cheeks, and small lips with a natural upward curve, like the little angel that parents love the most...

Brother? This doesn't look like it.

Chu Lu blinked, and before the woman who fell to the ground showed deeper suspicion, he took a step forward, hooked a finger of the high school student, looked up and called out, "Brother."

This move of the weaker party taking the initiative to get closer successfully dispelled the young woman's suspicion.

And as they got closer, the woman could see that although the little boy's clothes were mottled, he did not have any external injuries on his body. It really looked like he had just spilled a drink.

She thought about her performance just now and stood up with the help of the wall, a little embarrassed.

After thinking about it, he took the initiative to suggest buying some clothes for his "younger brother", but the "older brother" shook his head and refused.

It was really awkward to stay here, so the woman apologized several times. Finally, she walked out with her feet floating in the air to the little angel's soft "Thank you, sister", and suddenly felt that this was not a loss.

However, when he was at a distance from the woman, he suddenly realized a problem.

——He's still hanging around outside in school uniform at this time. Did his brother skip classes?

In the alley.

After the woman left, the only ones left were the big and the small, staring at each other.

Han Lenian's face was filled with regret, as if he couldn't figure out why he had come up with such a stupid excuse. He murmured, "This situation... should be sent to the police station, right?"

He squatted down so that his eyes were level with Chu Lu's.

"Do you know where your parents are?"

Han Lenian tried to speak in a voice as gentle as possible, but with his naturally fierce appearance, it can be said that the effect was minimal.

Chu Lu was silent for a moment, because he had not yet confirmed which world he was in. His memory was blank and he didn't even know who he was, let alone "Mom and Dad".

And according to the probability, the role he plays is most likely to be parentless. But the condition of this body is unknown, and Chu Lu does not want to be sent to a place like a police station or a hospital for the time being.

He was thinking of an excuse to get away when he saw a black vortex slowly gathering behind the high school student.

A claw that was human-like but looked like an animal stretched out from the shadows, with mottled dark red marks on its sharp nails. She exerted force with the arm she stretched out, and struggled out from the black shadow, revealing a head with the same outline as a normal person, but her face was blocked by her long hair draped forward. The messy hair swayed with her movements, revealing a completely black right eye without white, with tears of blood dripping from the eye.

She looked at the human in front of her, making a wheezing sound similar to that of hunger, with a strange smile in her voice, "...two......"

Her other claw also stretched out from the shadows, and her body continued to move upwards, with her hair shaking, revealing the bloody other half of her face.

Overall, it's a pretty cool little thing.

She approached greedily, trying to grab Han Lenian's ankle, but was caught off guard and met Chu Lu's gaze.

At the same time, Han Lenian, who was squatting with his back turned, also sensed the cold breath behind him. He stiffened his body and controlled himself not to turn around, but he saw the little boy in front of him staring in a certain direction without blinking.

Han Lenian realized something, his face changed, and he reached out to cover the child's eyes, and hurriedly said: "Don't look!!"

The next moment Chu Lu felt dizzy, and when he came to his senses, he was caught under the armpit and rushed out of the alley at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. The strong wind blew soft hair on his face, which even hurt a little.

Chu Lu, who was caught in the middle of a disagreement, said: "..."

He blinked slowly, realizing the frailty of his body this time.

——If you say you were taken away, then you were taken away...

The two of them didn't notice that the moment they turned around, the female ghost who had frozen in the middle of climbing also came out quickly and moved in the opposite direction at a speed that was no less than Han Lenian's.

The scorching sun made her scream in pain, and even her originally solid body showed signs of faint collapse, but she still ran in the direction away from the two people unwaveringly.
