Chapter 115
Le Liangan was simply in a daze.
Of course, sometimes when I daydream, images appear in my mind.
Sometimes it was his parents who loved him deeply, sometimes it was his classmates, and sometimes it was the zombies and battles he encountered in the past few days.
He could clearly feel the difference between himself and his classmates.
As a student of the Lingyan class, Le Liangan did not feel the slightest bit of enthusiasm, because he knew very well that whether he came or not, it had nothing to do with his own wishes.
His special ability is so dangerous that it is normal to be disliked. His parents also told him not to resist and to try his best to show that he is harmless so that others will not hurt him out of fear.
Le Liangan also thought so. At least in the three years at Miwen, he had never been discriminated against or hated by others.
But what does he really think? What plans does he have for the future?
What kind of person does he want to be?
The dry sand on the seabed slipped through his fingertips. He tried to hold it, but it didn't feel like he was holding it, which made him feel inexplicably uneasy.
Le Liangan knew nothing and was completely confused.
He had no ambition to become a strong man, nor did he have the awareness of contributing to the country and society. He just muddled through every day in the Lingyan class.
The boy was in a daze, sighing unconsciously, and thinking of his parents again.
Dad likes fishing and Mom runs a small shop. They are ordinary people and know nothing about the supernatural world.
They gave birth to themselves, a person with extremely high talents.
Others say that the son born by a mouse has made it to the Dragon Gate.
But mom and dad don't feel happy. They originally hoped that their child could live an ordinary, healthy and happy life, but now this simple wish has become a luxury.
The Institute of Supernatural Powers put him under surveillance with the consent of his parents, and Le Liangan didn't mind.
But he couldn't see his future.
Back to that question again.
What kind of person does Le Liangan hope to be?
“Ahem.”
The sound of someone coughing came from behind him. Le Liangan was so scared that he quickly threw away the sand in his hand, patted his head and stood up.
"Ah... a classmate... looking for me?"
Most of them came to talk to him about tomorrow's patrol. He has been here for more than two months. Apart from his habit of not liking to get along with others, Le Liangan has already accepted his five new classmates.
Although Lin Zipei and Li Ke were carefree and always did things that Le Liangan could not imagine, he knew that neither of them had any bad intentions. On the contrary, they were considering many things for him.
Lan Yi looks calm and reliable, but surprisingly he is a fanatical 2D anime fan. Le Liangan also likes to watch all kinds of anime and has a lot in common with Lan Yi.
In the end, the only two classmates he was not familiar with were Liu Huaqi and Xi Siling.
Liu Huaqi looks like a kind and polite person, but he is actually distant inside. Le Liangan likes to deal with such people, but this also means that they will never have any relationship other than a 'familiar stranger'.
It’s classmate Si Ling...Le Liangan felt a little unsure how to describe it.
But overall, he's a gentle, friendly, and nice person.
He genuinely cared about everyone and was able to provide timely supplements to arrangements made by Lelia. Leliangan felt very safe around him.
The most important thing is that Le Liangan can feel "respected" here at Xi Siling.
"Just talking about tomorrow's mission, but there's still time to talk about it tomorrow. What is Le thinking about?"
The boy smiled gently, maintaining a social distance that did not make him feel uneasy.
He couldn't tell what Leliangan was thinking.
"I'm not thinking about anything... Is there anything that my classmates want to talk to me about?"
He wouldn't even tell his parents about his thoughts, let alone his not-so-familiar classmates.
Xi Siling didn't ask anything rashly, as their relationship was indeed quite distant at the moment.
"It's about tomorrow's patrol..."
Xi Siling gave a brief explanation, including the discovery of Liuhuaqi and Mingtian’s joining.
Le Liangan had no opinion and just nodded.
"Okay, see you tomorrow, Le-san."
Le Liangan nodded hurriedly, giving people a feeling of shrinking humility.
"Oh, by the way, Pepe asked me to ask you what you would like to eat tomorrow."
Lin Zhipei is also a good cook, and he also provides the vegetables and fruits, so he also becomes the head chef.
Leliangan waved his hands, "Don't worry about me, I'll eat anything."
"There are always foods that you like a little bit more, or don't like that much, right? Pepe is collecting everyone's preferences, so feel free to tell us."
Le Liangan felt less anxious. If Xi Siling had said that Lin Zipei asked him about his preferences alone, he would have been scared.
I'm afraid Xi Siling is just taking care of herself, so I'm just causing trouble...
The happiness of being taken care of and the fear of causing trouble to others made Le Liangan's emotions fluctuate, but he did not show it.
Everyone was asked about their preferences, and if I didn't tell them, I would seem out of place...
Even Xi Siling couldn't have imagined that Le Liangan would think so much in such a short time.
He is overly anxious and has some tendencies towards a people-pleasing personality. If he had not lived in such a depressing environment since childhood, he would never have developed such a character.
"I prefer leafy greens and the like."
Such a simple and unpretentious preference, he would even just say that he likes it more and didn't say what he hates.
Xi Siling sighed in his heart.
"Okay, I understand."
"Um..."
I always feel...disliked.
Le Liangan felt that his thoughts were illogical, as his classmates did not seem like the kind of people who would easily dislike others.
He was very clear that he was being controlled by his emotions, but he just couldn't control his thoughts.
I always can't help thinking about how I am viewed by others, for fear that others will dislike me.
Among those who knew about his special abilities from the secret text, no one showed any fear. On the contrary, everyone praised his ability and strength.
Kele Liangan was still worried that others would be afraid of his special abilities, so he was evasive even when introducing them.
Leliangan sighed in frustration.
"Go to bed early, Le-san, and see you tomorrow."
Xi Siling deliberately came in front of him, bent slightly and waved so that Le Liangan, who was lowering his head, could see him.
The young man's eyes, which had almost lost their luster, suddenly widened. He was frightened by Xi Siling's sudden approach, but he did not find such a distance unacceptable.
Thinking back on it later, Le Liangan attributed it to Xi Siling's unique gentle temperament.
"...See you tomorrow! Good night, classmates."
In any case, his thoughts were completely interrupted, and the endless negative emotions seemed to have subsided.
Only after Xi Siling's figure disappeared did he react.
Le Liangan was stunned for a long time until someone else jumped out.
"Would you like to have a midnight snack, Le-san?"
It was Li Ke, he was clinging to the edge of the shelter and waving to Le Liangan.
The boy's immature emotions were interrupted again, and he nodded blankly.
Li Ke laughed several times, "Come on!"
"...Um!"
——
When they set off the next day, Lelia came to see them off.
"Be safe and follow the arrangements of your classmates. If there is any emergency, contact us through Lin. Be sure to come back safely."
Before we figure out what's going on in that place, no one can say for sure what will happen. It might just be a strange phenomenon on the seabed and they are just alarmed for a false alarm, or it might be a conspiracy of high-level zombies who are brewing some shocking secret.
The three of them nodded in agreement and set out on the journey to the strange underground cave.
With Liu Huaqi leading the way, they soon arrived at the location southeast of the stronghold.
Judging from the appearance, the entrance to this underground cave has a diameter of about 50 to 60 meters. It is not a deep pit that goes straight up and down, but the type that winds and extends downward.
So just looking at it this way, you can't tell what's inside.
But Liuhuaqi could not hide any of this.
"Student Le, can you see anything?"
"No, there's nothing here."
He couldn't even sense the breath of the living dead, so he might have to go further inside.
Xi Siling made quick arrangements and issued orders.
"Then let's go. 77 leads the way, and I'll be the last one to follow. Keep an eye on the surroundings."
Everything that he saw through the [Mist] yesterday gradually unfolded before Liuhuaqi's eyes.
Dark green cracks covered the rock walls, glowing with a fluorescent light that was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, like a beating heart. The unique stench of the living dead hit me in the face, almost suffocating me.
Fortunately, Liuhuacu filtered out part of it in time, so it was no longer difficult to accept.
"Still haven't found the living dead yet?"
Xi Siling frowned, feeling that everything here was extremely weird.
But he had never been here in his previous life. After all, he entered the Lingyan class a whole year late in his previous life. Even if there was a crisis here, it might have been solved by Riley Yale Liangan, or the Institute of Superpowers, or the secret text.
"No, it's no different from what I found yesterday."
Liuhuaqi stretched the distance that the mist could drift to the maximum, so that any movement on the ground could not escape his detection.
After walking down for about a kilometer, and only about a hundred meters from the ground, the view in front suddenly opened up, and the rock walls were covered with fluorescent green. The entire underground of the cave was covered with this portal-like substance.
When they came here, they were very careful not to touch anything, and there was no way to step on the cave in front.
Xi Siling took out a pen from the space ring and threw it in.
The pen seemed to be thrown into some sticky substance. It did not make any crisp sound, nor did it bounce back. It then slowly sank until it could no longer be seen.
"Can you feel whether it has sunk or disappeared?"
Liuhuaqi's mist cannot penetrate that layer of material, so it is difficult to determine whether it is a portal or not.
As expected, the boy shook his head, "I can't tell. The fog is rejected and cannot be penetrated."
After all, it is a liquid substance, thicker than the sea, and the fog has no way to block it.
Xi Siling thought for a moment, then took out the vine bracelet given to her by Lin Zhipei, tore off a small section from the top, and used it to touch the green on the wall next to her.
There was no response, so Xi Siling threw it in again.
The large piece swallowed the thing again.
It's a bit like a portal, but who dares to actually go in?
"Let's go back first. Next time we patrol here, we can observe it. If there is no change, we can leave it alone..."
"Department...Department classmates..."
Le Liangan suddenly called out his name with a slight tremor.
He saw that the vitality in Xi Siling's body was rapidly decreasing, while the death energy was increasing rapidly at a rival force.
