Chapter 31: The Thirty-First Night
He pulled his arm back, but still couldn't avoid the attack. His wrist, which had been injured twice, could not withstand the sharp edges of the steel ruler.
Han Yun had specially re-stitched him for safety reasons, and now the black lines that looked like a centipede were all cut open.
Blood spurted out of Xu Yansheng's poor right wrist again.
After the steel ruler cut his wrist, it seemed to lose its power and fell straight to the ground, leaving behind bright red blood and staining the dust on the ground.
As the steel ruler fell to the ground, everything in the dormitory seemed to return to normal.
Xu Yansheng did not deal with his wrist immediately, but glanced at his phone.
Qiu Tingxu was stunned for a moment and was extremely angry.
"Xu Yansheng! Who told you to shake off my hand? Do you want to die? If you want to die, I won't care about you anymore!"
His throat was tight, and the roar he made was suppressed, as if he was extremely angry.
He cursed harshly and moved quickly. He rushed over, grabbed Xu Yansheng's arm, and skillfully treated his wound.
He even yelled at the dumbfounded Han Yun: "What are you standing there for? Come and disinfect and apply medicine!"
Han Yun: “…”
He observed his medical box hesitantly, making sure that the scissors inside had no thoughts of their own and did not jump out and fly around, then he opened the medical box and took out the hemostatic set with confidence.
Xu Yansheng was pressed into a chair, with his head lowered, staring at Qiu Tingxu who was squatting on the ground.
This person's hair whorls are just like its owner, very flamboyant, and now he seems to be standing on end.
He stammered a few times with his thin red lips, and finally found an excuse for his behavior.
"...You...will...get hurt."
Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was frosted, dull and hoarse, and not very pleasant to listen to.
Qiu Tingxu didn't react for a moment and was still immersed in anger.
"How do you know I'll get hurt? If I were going to get hurt, would we have been able to hide for so long?"
"I just wanted to see if that damn thing would hurt me, but you caught it so accurately!"
Xu Yansheng: “…”
At this time, Han Yun moved his leg and rubbed Qiu Tingxu, his face full of disbelief.
Qiu Tingxu was very angry: "Bandage your wound, why did you hit me!"
"Wait... who was talking just now?"
Han Yun rolled his eyes, his hands moving non-stop, "It wasn't me anyway."
Qiu Tingxu raised his head and looked at Xu Yansheng, "Did you just speak?"
Xu Yansheng nodded gently, pursed his lips, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Hmm."
Qiu Tingxu opened his eyes wide and turned to look at Han Yun like a robot and asked him, "Did you hear that?"
Han Yun rolled his eyes again and said sarcastically: "I didn't hear it!"
Who knew that Qiu Tingxu actually believed it, muttering to himself: "Am I so nervous that I am hallucinating? Xu Yansheng can actually speak?"
Xu Yansheng touched his cheek with his left hand and asked him to look at him.
His eyes were clear as he stared at Qiu Tingxu and said seriously, "I... can actually speak."
Qiu Tingxu finally believed his ears, was horrified, and started screaming like a chicken.
"ah!"
“Ahhh!”
“Ahhhh!”
"Xu Yansheng! Xu Yansheng Xu Yansheng! You can speak now! Oh my God, you can speak so quickly!"
He couldn't control the corners of his mouth, allowing them to curl upwards, and he even jumped up and danced.
"How come you can speak all of a sudden? Are you scared?"
"So your injury this time was worth it. At least it wasn't a loss..."
"Hahaha, now you can speak. I can communicate with you using language from now on!"
"Honestly, it's pretty lonely talking to one person every day."
Xu Yansheng: “…”
It’s too dense. This person talks too densely. He may never be able to catch up in his entire life.
[So fast... So hard...]
The sound this time was clear and pleasant, like the sound of wind chimes under the eaves in winter, wrapped in cold wind, but particularly nice to the ear.
Qiu Tingxu froze and looked carefully at Xu Yansheng's lips, which did not move.
I went to see Han Yun again and asked him, "Did you hear it this time?"
Han Yun was puzzled: "? What did you hear? Did he speak again?"
Qiu Tingxu: "What are you thinking about?"
Han Yun: "I'm wondering why you're like a psychopath!"
Qiu Tingxu: "..."
"I do seem to be a little neurotic..."
He ran to the sink and rinsed his face to calm down. Drops of cool tap water dripped from his thick eyebrows down his cheeks.
Reflecting the brightness of the sunlight, it falls to the ground in an instant.
His facial features were back in place, and his expression was serious again, with a hint of moisture and water droplets, and an inexplicable sexiness.
After the initial surprise and joy, I began to analyze the information I had obtained unexpectedly.
"Xu Yansheng, what time was it when you looked at your phone just now? Around three thirty, right?"
He leaned against Xu Yansheng's desk, very close to him.
Xu Yansheng was sitting, and one had to look up to see his expression clearly.
"…Yeah, three minutes."
Qiu Tingxu lowered his head, and the fine hair on his forehead also fell down. It was chestnut-colored and very soft, with tiny spots of light dancing on it.
It was as if the sunlight was following him through the window.
He stroked his white chin with his fingers and said thoughtfully: "I have two guesses."
"First, the existence that wants to hurt Xu Yansheng - let's call it the disaster. It starts to activate at 3 pm every other week. Its purpose is to cut Xu Yansheng's right wrist. The time limit is three minutes. If he can survive these three minutes, then Xu Yansheng will not be injured."
"There is also a second possibility. The disaster starts from the moment it is activated and stops automatically after achieving the goal of harming Xu Yansheng."
"It didn't take more than a few seconds to hurt him before, but today it just happened to take three minutes, so maybe there is no so-called time limit."
"Which guess do you think is more accurate?"
Han Yun wrapped the bandage around Xu Yansheng and sat on another stool. He said, "Now that you put it that way, I think both guesses make sense. After all, there are not enough samples available for analysis to make a final conclusion."
Xu Yansheng didn't say anything.
Qiu Tingxu put this question aside for the time being and continued, "This is a guess about the time when the disaster will be launched, and also about the target of harm."
"Just now, Han Yun took measures after the medical box was unlocked, and then the scissors stopped moving."
"Then the steel ruler started to attack us... No, not us. At first, the steel ruler was directed at Xu Yansheng. Although it came towards me later, it might have been to scare us."
"So I guess this disaster won't harm anyone except Xu Yansheng."
Han Yun applauded: "Great, great, you have observed all of this."
Qiu Tingxu glared at him: "You've been sitting there for a long time and you didn't see anything?"
Han Yun scratched his head and smiled guiltily: "Yes, I can see that you two are very sweet."
Qiu Tingxu: "..."
Han Yun laughed twice, then put away his smile and said seriously, "You were kidding. Besides this, I found a few more problems."
Qiu Tingxu: "Hmm?"
Han Yun: "The disaster you mentioned seems to have some brains and temper, but not much."
"It tried to attack Xu Yansheng's neck for a while, but I guessed from the fact that it drilled into your legs from behind that it was trying to divert attention and separate the two of you."
"So, its attack range, at the moment, is only Xu Yansheng's right wrist."
"Also, every time you taunt it, its attack power and attack speed will increase, so it can understand what people say."
"To sum up, I think this disaster is a ghost. What do you think?"
