The cold night wind was wrapped with tiny ice crystals, whipping the dead branches of the trees along the road, making them rustle.
The street lights turned into dim yellow balls in the rain and fog, casting a staggering black shadow.
The school uniform with the "Drowned" logo clung to his bony back, and he had to hold on to the wall on the street to catch his breath every two steps.
When he looked up, his swollen and purple face startled the crows under the eaves and flew away. The pinholes on the back of his neck reflected a faint blue light under the street light.
......
Tianlong Community.
Gradually it began to drizzle.
The man came to a door and knocked.
"Who is it? Is it Xiao Lei?"
The moment the security door opened, warm light poured out.
“Why are you back so late…” The woman’s voice was stuck in her throat.
She saw her familiar son's body twitching slightly, his pupils shrinking to the size of a needle tip, and the veins in his neck pulsating to some strange rhythm.
It's so weird.
A trace of fear flashed through the woman's heart, but because he was her own son, she quickly suppressed the feeling.
In the living room, the middle-aged man turned around and placed the enamel cup in his hand steadily on the coffee table.
The man asked absentmindedly, "Did you get into a fight again? Tell me, where did you get hurt again? How much did you pay?"
"You just stir up trouble for me all day long. It really makes me worry."
The rain outside the window was pouring down heavily, and thousands of silver needles pierced the glass windows, leaving dense water marks.
"What's wrong with you?"
The woman's trembling fingertips were about to touch the pinhole on the man's neck that was glowing with a faint blue light.
Sudden! !
The whole building was suddenly plunged into darkness.
The moment the thunder split the rain curtain, they saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives.
Their son's mouth was grinning from ear to ear, with shiny saliva dripping between his snow-white teeth.
"Hungry......"
The cupboard glass shattered amid screams, the enamel cup on the coffee table fell to the ground with a thud, and wolfberries splattered on the tiles, leaving red spots like blood.
Mixed with some sticky swallowing sounds, rain wrapped in dark red liquid seeped out from the crack of the door and meandered like thin snakes in the corridor.
The ceiling lights flickered on and off, illuminating the bright red splashes on the wall. The splashes were slowly sliding down the fine lines on the wall, making a long dripping sound like honey amid the sound of heavy rain.
“Boom boom boom—”
Thunder exploded in the clouds, and white light illuminated the man's hideous face.
If Louis were here, he would be very surprised.
Because this person is none other than Wang Lei...
In a black van outside Tianlong Community.
Yan Bei held a piece of paper in one hand and a pen in the other, writing something down.
"Awakening potion, if subject C fails, it will cause excessive alienation and turn into a man-eating monster, but if the ability awakens successfully, the supernatural power..."
Above the line of information recorded by Yan Bei, there are two more lines of information that have already been recorded.
"Awakening potion, test subject A failed, exploded and died, too much alienated energy, reason: the body couldn't bear it."
"Awakening potion, subject B is temporarily successful, user is normal, abnormal phenomenon: amnesia."
The raindrops hit the windows of the black van like steel needles, making a sound.
Yan Bei glanced at the Tianlong Community and put away the information indifferently. "Continue to sneak into the public cemetery secretly. I want fresh corpses to conduct experiments on the alienation potion."
Unlike the awakening potion, the original intention of the alienation potion is to create monsters, but they are obedient monsters.
"As for Subject C, haha, it can just help us attract the attention of those bugs of the Night Divers. No need to pay attention to it anymore."
"Yes!!! Team Yan."
.......
It's a sunny morning.
It was as if last night's rainstorm had never happened.
Only the potholes on the ground remain as evidence of the heavy rain.
"Xiao Yi, remember to bring an umbrella to school. It rained heavily yesterday and it might rain again today!"
"Got it, Mom!"
On the street, a fair-faced man ran out of the door of a barbecue restaurant, holding an umbrella in his hand and carrying a schoolbag on his back. The three raindrops marked on his school uniform were particularly eye-catching.
It was Louis.
But Louis took a look at his own reflection on the ground.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt like he had become stronger overnight.
If Louis had a frail and thin figure before, he now has a strong and sturdy, yet elegant and perfect figure.
This school uniform looks quite casual on Louis.
Louis quickly got on the bus as usual and arrived at Fallingwater High School ten minutes later.
According to the time, Wen Xiaolu should be arriving at school soon.
It is well known that Louis likes Wen Xiaolu very much.
He likes Wen Xiaolu's quiet and sweet feeling.
I really like this kind of tacit understanding, for example, when we come to school, we happen to arrive at the school gate together.
But I guess I won’t be able to make it this time, right?
Louis thought to himself that after all, because of what happened last night, he did oversleep and slept for five extra minutes.
The bus was late, so I arrived at school ten minutes late.
Rather than being late, Louis felt more regretful that he could no longer arrive at the school gate with Wen Xiaolu and meet her by chance.
Got off the bus.
Louis walked towards Fallingwater High School.
However, with the school gate as the dividing line, the figure that Louis had been dreaming about actually appeared on the opposite street.
Is it Wen Xiaolu?
