Chapter 090 Chapter 90
Xia Meng suddenly had a strong feeling.
It seemed as if there was always a pair of eyes in this world watching her.
Whenever she tried to do something that deviated from the established storyline, it would intervene.
The means of interference are also simple and crude, directly skipping time.
What does it want to do?
Whose gaze is this coming from?
The owner of this mental picture?
There are too many questions.
Xia Meng couldn't find any clues.
She didn't even know who the owner of this mental picture was.
Could it be Hermann?
...It doesn't look like it.
Based on Xia Meng's experience of being dragged into mental images several times in the past, she knew that the owner of the mental image would usually appear in his or her own identity.
But the Hermann in this mental picture looked different from the person she had in mind.
Obviously much more immature.
Moreover, the look in his eyes when he looked at her was no longer as complicated and incomprehensible as before, nor as crazy as if he wanted to eat her alive.
It should be just an ordinary Hermann, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Who could that be?
Someone who grew up with Herman?
The sentinel who ripped the sky apart? Emil?
Who else grew up with him?
Xia Meng remembered that Li Zhou had said before that there were only two people around Hermann, one was Emil and the other was Lance.
Lance is a psychic who can control people's consciousness.
Lance is also a member of this class.
He and Emil are twins. They don't look much alike, but they both have red hair.
Could it be them?
Xia Meng vaguely felt that it shouldn't be them either.
I really can't guess.
It's so weird.
It can't be her, right?
Oh, how is that possible?
Whose master has no control over his own mental power and yet lives such a miserable life?
There is a feeling of powerlessness that one can only watch but be unable to change it.
Xia Meng wiped her face.
Forget it, she has no clue, which means she doesn’t have enough information at the moment.
Let's take it one step at a time.
On the bright side, at least this mental picture doesn't seem to have any major malice towards her at the moment.
It didn't seem like he was targeting her or wanted her life.
If I have to say, Xia Meng had a hunch.
It was as if this mental picture wanted to tell her something.
Wanting her to see something clearly.
…
Xia Meng lay flat.
Since she can't change it, just accept it.
If you want her to see clearly, then she should open her eyes wide and look.
In the following days, she found out the special abilities, attributes, and personality backgrounds of everyone in the class.
These children were different from Hermann.
Hermann was born into a noble family, and his identity as the illegitimate son of the Dreiser patriarch was no secret in the orphanage.
If all the children in the orphanage are orphans, then only Hermann seems to be fostered here.
When the lonely children were hesitant about their future, Herman was probably the only one who was quite sure about his future.
The S-class Sentinel will definitely become the backbone of the Dresser family in the future.
So, Hermann naturally became the center of attention of the children here, and was the center of attention.
As long as you follow him, why worry about not finding a good way out when you grow up?
So Xia Meng just watched from afar.
Standing apart from the crowd, he watched Hermann being surrounded.
The days that followed passed faster and faster.
The days in the welfare home follow a regular routine. Every ten days or half a month, they go out to carry out a mission. The rest of the time, they stay in the welfare home to attend classes and study.
In a trance, Xia Meng felt that her life was somewhat fragmented.
The days in the welfare home were as clean as an ordinary campus.
The classroom is bright and clean. Every day, all I think about is whether I have finished my homework, when will the class end, and when will I eat?
And the days when you go out are like stepping into another world.
From extreme white to extreme black.
It is a dark world.
Xia Meng doesn't like this world.
But under the pressure of this mental picture, I can only watch and endure it every time.
Again and again.
As she participated in more and more missions, Xia Meng became more and more numb.
I couldn't stop myself from going along with the crowd, and I couldn't force myself to close my eyes.
She could only get as far away from the center as possible.
Herman and the others didn't seem to think much of her abilities. Although they had to take her with them on every mission, they didn't assign her any important tasks. At most, they let her do some minor tasks, such as guarding the door and keeping watch, which were basically dispensable.
Xia Meng has been a supporting role for more than two months.
Until this day——
It was still a foggy day.
Early in the morning, the sky outside the window was gloomy and dark clouds were looming. Just one look at it made me feel as if a huge rock was pressing down on my chest, making it hard to breathe.
London is nicknamed the Foggy City, with about a hundred days a year covered in fog.
During the more than two months that Xia Meng entered this mental state, there were foggy and cloudy days almost every day.
Bad weather can easily affect your mood and make you feel bad too.
Xia Meng felt that she had been living a dull and depressing life recently. On the one hand, it was because life in the welfare home was too gloomy, and on the other hand, it was also related to the foggy day.
Winter is gradually approaching in London.
Xia Meng stood by the window of her dormitory, opened the window, and the cold wind blew in in her face.
The hot air exhaled turned into mist, making it seem even colder.
Xia Meng walked into the classroom early in the morning as the bell rang, and immediately noticed that her classmates looked a little nervous.
Xia Meng understood it at a glance.
Okay, another mission, eh.
The sentries use the sound of their whistles to determine whether today is a "mission day."
And she knew it just by looking at their expressions.
When Xia Meng first started following them on missions, she was a little curious about the goals of the missions.
I went there so often and saw so much that I gradually became numb.
This time, she didn't even ask what the mission objective was. She let those people get together to make a plan, while she turned a deaf ear and went to the cubicle to change clothes.
By the time they changed their clothes, their action plan had almost been formulated.
Ready to go.
The sky has been cracked, and everyone passes through the crack.
Xia Meng walked at the end, following behind Emil.
Emile is in charge of guarding the gate, and usually he stays near the crack.
When Xia Meng passed by him, she casually asked, "Where should I guard this time?"
Emil returned her glance in silence and said, "Whatever."
It seems that she still hasn't been assigned any tasks this time.
This is best.
Xia Meng didn't want to go along with them, but because her class teacher always emphasized that she should follow the main group, she couldn't resist openly.
Hermann and the others also seemed to think she was in the way.
She was clearly just there to watch, but they pretended not to see anything.
So she would always follow them, then find a corner there and squat for about ten minutes, and then come back with them.
Fortunately, the head teacher was never with them every time and has never discovered it.
Every action must be carried out against time, and this time is no exception.
Everyone crossed the rift and traveled to the other side of the world.
When Xia Meng raised her eyes, she saw a lush green field.
Maybe it’s because it’s far away from London, the weather here is very good and the climate is warm.
The sky is clear and cloudless.
Xia Meng's mood suddenly became very good.
The grass is emerald green, and there are snow-white sheep scattered across the fields, full of vitality.
This place really seems like another world.
The trees planted inside and outside the welfare home have almost all lost their leaves and are bare.
Xia Meng didn't expect to see such beautiful greenery.
On the other side of the wilderness is a small town with a population of about tens of thousands.
The town is located between two mountains, with a lake in front of it. It is surrounded by mountains and water and has a beautiful environment.
From a distance, there seems to be a mountain range covered with snow in the distance.
Xia Meng vaguely felt that the undulating shape of the mountains looked a bit like the Alps.
"The Alps..." Xia Meng guessed that they probably went to Europe this time.
It could be France, Italy, Germany, or Switzerland. You can basically see the Alps in this area of southern Europe.
How did you get here?
Xia Meng was wondering when she turned around and found that everyone else was acting quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the person disappeared.
Xia Meng turned around and looked at Emil again.
This taciturn guy always looks like he doesn't want to talk.
She shook her head and thought to herself: Forget it, just treat it as a trip.
She put her hands behind her back and walked towards the town.
The town is beautiful, with a unified and colorful architectural style.
It looks like a dream town from a fairy tale.
“It’s so beautiful…”
Xia Meng was strolling in the town, looking around as she walked.
The town was bustling with activity. It was mid-afternoon and the townspeople were busy coming and going.
Xia Meng didn't go to crowded places.
Didn't go too far.
Because those people acted very quickly and would be gone in fifteen minutes at most.
She stopped by the lake outside the town.
There are large black pine forests growing along the lake.
The terrain of the black pine forest is slightly higher, just above a "cliff" about three to five meters high above the lake surface.
When Xia Meng walked over, she found that there was a black pine tree growing obliquely on the cliff. Two ropes were hanging from the trunk, and the other ends of the ropes were tied to the same wooden board.
It turned out to be a swing.
Xia Meng stopped in her tracks with some curiosity and sigh.
What a rugged swing!
It looks so dangerous, as if the two ropes will break at any time.
But it's so interesting.
The swing is suspended on the lake surface, and when it swings in the wind, the water under your feet sparkles.
Xia Meng's eyes lit up.
I don’t know who came up with this idea.
Moreover, it looks like this swing is easy to get on but difficult to get off. If you want to get off, the only option is probably to jump into the lake.
She hesitated for only two seconds before quickly making up her mind to give it a try.
Once you miss the opportunity, you will never get it again.
So what if she jumped into the lake? She can swim.
It took her some effort to get on the swing.
With no foothold, she could only use the inertia of her body swaying back and forth to pull the swing.
Unfortunately, she didn't know how to do it, and since she was young and weak, the swing never reached the amplitude she expected.
The breeze is gentle and the water is rippling.
She was having fun when suddenly a voice rang out from above.
"Who are you?"
Xia Meng subconsciously looked up.
She saw a slender child standing next to the black pine tree, tilting its head and looking at her curiously.
The scattered sunlight filtered through the branches of the black pine forest and shone down on the back of his head, making his dark brown hair glow with a golden luster.
The little boy was about ten years old, fair-skinned, with beautiful and delicate features that made it difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
The two looked at each other.
Xia Meng's first reaction was that this was a very handsome white boy.
The next moment, she suddenly realized something from his familiar gray-blue eyes.
She stared at him blankly: "You, you are..."
Li Zhou?
How could it be him?
How come I see him here?
Is this the Li Zhou she knew, or some other child who looked similar?
In a flash, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
Xiao Li Zhou didn't recognize her.
He tilted his head in curiosity, filled with wonder about her.
His eyes sparkled, full of kindness: "Want to play?"
Xia Meng was stunned, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.
There was no time to answer him.
Xiao Li Zhou thought she was shy, so he raised a finger and whispered, "Hold on tight."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Meng felt as if her lower back was pushed by an invisible force, and she and the swing were immediately pushed high up.
Xia Meng realized that now was not the time to play.
She called out from where she was swinging on the swing, "What's your name?"
Little Li Zhou blinked, as if he didn't hear what she said clearly: "What?"
Xia Meng became a little anxious.
The swing swung up and down, very high.
Xia Meng suddenly let go of her hands and flew forward at the moment before the swing reached its highest point.
"Why!"
She heard Xiao Li Zhou's scream, and then she felt herself being pulled by a force, and her body was suddenly pulled over. The moment she fell heavily, she watched herself fall on Xiao Li Zhou.
Fortunately, there was soft grass underneath.
The two rolled into a pile, with little Li Zhou serving as a cushion for her.
She lifted herself off him.
With a serious face, she asked again seriously: "What's your name!?"
Little Li Zhou blinked his gray-blue eyes and looked at her with a little surprise.
He answered slowly, "Li Zhou. What about you?"
It’s really him!
Xia Meng was terrified at this moment.
Why did I meet him as a teenager here?
She didn't believe it was a coincidence.
Why did those young soldiers come all the way from London?
It's impossible that he is here for tourism.
There is only one answer.
Xia Meng lowered her eyes and stared in astonishment at the little Li Zhou who was lying under her.
They were coming for him!
