Chapter 135 That Special Girl
At the age of 15, Hong Siyu, who is one year older, is a girl who likes to fantasize.
Rather, it is because she seldom interacts with others and spends most of her time immersed in her own world that she subconsciously fantasizes.
Since a certain opportunity in her second year of junior high school, the shadow of a boy began to appear frequently in her fantasies.
At first, the other party just appeared inexplicably in the various story plots in her mind, and Hong Siyu did not think deeply about it; but as time went by, his image not only did not fade with time, but became more profound.
Hongsi and herself knew exactly why things turned out this way - because she used that boy's textbook.
She was in the second grade when she hid the textbook, but now she is in the third grade, and the textbook left by the boy has become the content of her current study. Whenever she opens the old pages and reads the handwriting left by the other party on the textbook, Hong Siyu will inexplicably be moved by the other party's words.
The boy named Lin Yun is very good-looking, has a cool personality, and has beautiful handwriting. I feel like we would get along very well.
Such thoughts often arise in her mind, and then gradually diverge. When they diverge to a certain extent, she will blush for her somewhat indecent fantasies.
I can't go on like this, Hong Siyu. I'm worried about a boy who doesn't know me and I'll never see him again. How can I be a good student? If I continue like this, I won't study, I won't make friends, and I won't be immersed in daydreams. She admonished herself and tried to put away the textbook she had hidden away and not look at it again. But this persistence only lasted for a few weeks, and she took out the book again because of some uncontrollable emotions.
After all, it is a ready-made study note. It would be a shame not to refer to it.
She told herself this as she turned the pages of her textbook carefully and furtively, like a thief.
What she had never thought of was that even though she had imagined many scenes of reuniting with that boy, in the end, when she really met him again, it was in a scene she had never expected.
During the campus cultural festival in her third year of junior high school, her school was attacked by brutal beasts.
The brutal beasts that came from nowhere suddenly rushed into the campus and launched indiscriminate attacks on the people who were originally immersed in the atmosphere of jubilation, causing the crowd to fall into panic in an instant.
When Hong Siyu saw the huge mouth of the crippled beast open in front of her, with every fang in its mouth clearly visible, she almost stood there in a daze, and even forgot the thought of running away.
But at this critical moment, a hand reached out from nowhere and grabbed her sleeve.
"Don't just stand there, run!"
A familiar yet strange voice sounded in her ears. Then, she was tightly grasped by that hand and unconsciously began to run. Then, she followed the other person and hid in an empty classroom in the teaching building.
When the roar outside the door gradually subsided and the crisis seemed to have passed briefly, she looked at the boy in front of her and uncontrollably called out the name in her mind: "Lin Yun"? "Do you know me?"
The boy standing at the classroom door lowered his head and looked at her with some surprise.
"Oh, no, I..."
Faced with the other party's doubts, Hong Siyu had no idea how to explain.
If I tell the other person that I met him twice in school and we only spoke two sentences together, will he think I am a stalker?
Or maybe I should tell the truth and say, Senior, you lost a textbook in school before you graduated, and I secretly kept it? It sounds even more suspicious? "I used to... often see you in the library."
After thinking for a long time, she managed to stammer out an answer, and then tried to change the subject: "Didn't you graduate? Why did you suddenly come back?"
"Cultural Festival, I was invited to come back and have a look."
Lin Yun explained the reason why he was here in a casual manner, and then turned his gaze back to the door of the classroom: "I just didn't expect to encounter such a thing just after returning."
"This kind of thing?"
"A remnant beast."
"Um, Lin Yun...senior, aren't you afraid?"
"Don't I look scared?"
"Well, it seems like he's used to it."
“…I’m just calmer.”
Leaning against the classroom door, Lin Yun looked outside, then turned back to glance at Hong Siyu and said, "I'm leaving. Remember, if you don't want to die, lock the doors and windows in a confined space and keep quiet. If the remaining beasts try to attack the doors and windows, try to hide in the cabinet or under the table to cover up your breath."
"Huh?"
Hong Siyu couldn't help but wonder aloud: "Leave? Now? Why?"
"… Sitting here and waiting for death is not an option."
Lin Yun paused for a moment, then said expressionlessly, "I'll see if I can go out and rescue two more people."
"No, no, no, I'm going to die, right?"
Seeing that he was about to open the classroom door, Hong Siyu hurried to the door and pressed the door: "Don't do anything stupid, you will be killed by the beast if you go out now!"
"I was just observing, and the crippled beast went somewhere else."
Lin Yun said calmly: "It doesn't matter. Even if we are seen, we can find a place to hide as long as we move quickly enough."
"Huh?" Hong Siyu felt that the other party's remarks were so unreasonable.
Rather, it was the first time that she realized that Lin Yun had this side of him.
Before this, through the few words she had heard and the self-divergence of various external factors, she had always thought that Lin Yun would be a very quiet and introverted boy like herself.
Although his reputation in school was not very good, it seemed that many people were talking about him behind his back, saying that he was two-timing and a big scumbag who fell in love prematurely and cheated on his girlfriend. But Hong Siyu always felt that the Lin Yun she knew would not do such a thing.
How could such a serious, self-willed, cold and handsome guy play with girls' feelings?
But now, the character shown by Lin Yun is breaking Hongsi and his previous imagination.
It seemed that she had been immersed in her imagination and had never really understood him. Hong Siyu once again realized this deeply. But before her girlish feelings could fluctuate, the roar from outside the door interrupted her thoughts.
——“Roar, ah, ah, ah!”
As the roar was thunderous, the door in front of the two people shook violently, and then an extremely sharp claw pierced through the classroom door from the outside and stretched out in front of them.
Seeing the purple-black claws with a hint of blood, Hong Siyu almost screamed and had to cover her mouth to prevent herself from making any extra noise. Then, she looked at the calm boy in front of her for help.
Lin Yun didn't say anything, but just made a gesture to her to keep quiet, then dodged the sharp claws that stretched into the classroom, continued to stick close to the classroom door, and paid attention to the situation in the corridor through the gap.
His audacious behavior made Hong Siyu's heart rise to her throat.
The two of them remained in strange silence. Lin Yun frowned as he looked at the situation outside the door, while Hong Siyu stepped back slightly and stood there waiting for the next move of the crippled beast. A strange balance suddenly emerged between the inside and outside of the door.
The fragile balance could not last after all, so soon, another collision sound was heard outside the classroom.
Boom! The classroom door was once again torn open by the beast.
"Roar, ahhhhh!"
Obviously, Canshou was sure that there was someone in the room.
"What, what, what should I do?" Hong Siyu was at a loss as he stuttered and backed away, "It's coming in!"
"Well, it's coming in." Lin Yun nodded calmly.
"Now is not the time to repeat what I said, right?" Hong Siyu widened his eyes, feeling like he was about to collapse, "If we continue like this, we will die!"
"It's okay, we won't die."
"Huh? Do you have any ideas?"
"I... can't help it, but someone will come and stop it."
"Who?" Hong Siyu asked expectantly.
"Magical girl." Lin Yun answered confidently.
The classroom fell into silence for a moment. Even though the beast outside the door had almost torn half of the door apart and most of its claws were stretched inside, it failed to dilute the cold atmosphere in the slightest.
"…Senior, are you kidding me?" Hong Siyu tried to make her tone sound less like she was trying to fool someone. "At a time like this, putting your hopes on a magical girl? Something as illusory as that?"
"Is it strange?" Lin Yun glanced at her, "Where there are crippled beasts, there will be magical girls. Isn't this a natural thing?"
"How can this be considered natural?"
Hong Siyu pointed at the crippled beast at the door, but her fingers were shaking like sieves: "This is not a cartoon on TV, that thing is about to come in, can you please stop joking!"
"It's okay, the magical girl will come."
"Why do you have such inexplicable self-confidence?"
"Wait a moment, I'll be out for a while." Without answering her question, Lin Yun said this, walked straight to the window of the classroom, and opened the window facing outside the building.
"Huh?" Looking at his inexplicable behavior, Hong Siyu felt that his mind couldn't keep up with the development of the situation. "No, this is the fifth floor. Where are you going?"
"Go out for a while." Lin Yun pointed out the window.
"……oh."
It's over. He wants to jump off the building and commit suicide.
This is Hongsi’s first thought.
The other party had been talking nonsense since he ran into the classroom with me. It must be because of the attack by the beast that the mental pressure has reached the extreme. Now he is in a state of collapse, so he behaves so abnormally.
Thinking of this, Hong Siyu felt that he and Lin Yun had some resonance.
How about dancing with him? With her brain short-circuited, Hong Siyu had some crazy thoughts in her mind. She thought that she could go crazy, at least she would end her life with a boy she had a crush on.
But just as she made up her mind and looked towards the window again, wanting to express her feelings to the boy, she found that Lin Yun was no longer by the open window.
He has already jumped out.
Hong Siyu looked at the wide open window, and all the expressions he had prepared froze on his face.
Almost at the same time, the shattered classroom door finally could no longer withstand the destruction of the beast, and shattered under its impact, exploding into debris. The beast's dark body poked its head in from the classroom door, staring at Hong Siyu with its wide eyes, and then opened its mouth.
——“Roar, ah, ah, ah!”
It seemed very happy to have found its prey.
Having lost his only companion in the classroom and facing the ferocious beast alone, Hong Siyu felt that he had even lost the ability to scream and could only retreat slowly.
She just faced the beast, stared at it, and walked backwards step by step. When she reached the window, she felt the cold wind outside and realized that she had no way to retreat. However, the beast in front of her was still pressing forward.
So, what is the situation now? His eyes gradually blurred, and Hong Siyu leaned against the window, slumped down somewhat powerlessly.
The campus cultural festival, which finally came, was attacked by beasts, and the rare leisure time was ruined.
Even though there were so many people at the scene, the beast kept chasing him and finally followed him all the way to the classroom in the teaching building.
I finally met a boy I cared about, but things got so chaotic that he even jumped off a building due to a mental breakdown.
"What are you doing?"
She couldn't help but speak, her voice trembling slightly: "Why am I so unlucky?"
It is said that good times come after bad times, but her life so far has been nothing but bad times, and now she is going to die early at the claws of a cruel beast. She obviously still has a lot of things she wants to do, but isn't it all hopeless? She really has no other choice.
In such a small and enclosed space, it was impossible for her to escape from the claws of the crippled beast; and a monster like the crippled beast obviously would not reason with her and let her go.
"Is the magical girl here?"
At last, she could only raise her head and shout into the void in a self-destructive manner. But after she finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing out loud: "Why am I saying such stupid things?"
She just watched the beast walk in front of her, and once again, it opened its huge mouth in front of her. She could even smell the fishy smell coming from its mouth.
But this time, no one would hold her hand and run away with her.
"...Forget it, this is really boring, let's end it quickly."
She closed her eyes helplessly: "Anyway, it's impossible for someone as unlucky as me to meet a magical girl."
——"That's not necessarily true, is it?"
An indifferent and crisp voice sounded from behind her.
The voice was very lively and pleasant, just like the cry of a thrush at night, melodious and clear. Just hearing the voice made Hong Si and his mind feel clear.
Then, she felt a blue light flowing out from the side of her face, and a petite figure passed by her.
"Roar, ahhh!"
The sudden appearance of the figure obviously alarmed the remaining beasts.
The crippled beast in front seemed to feel threatened by the petite figure, so the moment it jumped out, it raised its claws and attacked the figure mercilessly.
Acting on instinct, its counterattack was swift. However, in the azure light, the petite figure remained indifferent.
"Masterpiece, Part Three, Piercing Sarissa."
The clear voice uttered a series of phrases like chanting, and then a flashing spear with a blue light shot out from her hand and stabbed straight into the chest of the crippled beast. Then, the spear brought with it an extremely powerful force and might, smashing the crippled beast away.
Boom! At a speed that Hong Siyu could not see clearly, the spear burst out with a dazzling light, and then pierced through the wall of the classroom with the remnant beast, nailing it to the wall.
The battle was over in an instant. The beast, which looked tall and ferocious, was so vulnerable to the petite girl that it was killed in a split second.
Then, the girl landed lightly in front of Hong Siyu.
"It's all right now."
She stood still and turned around, her navy blue dress fluttering with her movements, like a blooming cornflower. The big bonnet on her head trembled slightly because of the fighting movements, and she looked strangely agile. The girl's delicate and lovely face turned to Hong Siyu, with a calm expression and a little gentleness:
——"Because, the magical girl is here."
