Xia Shuo swagger

Chapter 85 Doomsday Twilight (Complete Escape)

"No, a panda-colored mate?! Is Xia Zhaoyao the hidden eldest lady?"

"What are you thinking about? Didn't you notice that our squad leader also got a new mobile phone?"

"Huh? Same day, same style, could it be——"

The next day, some rumors popped up out of nowhere like little mushrooms after the rain.

As natives of the Internet era, college students in this era have a natural keen observation of electronic devices.

Not to mention that Qin Shuo and Xia Zhaoyao already attracted special attention in the class, Huawei's latest unique "panda color" itself is highly recognizable.

Two owners of the latest model appeared at once, but there were still rumors of a male and female protagonist. Before the morning class ended, the topic among the students in the class had even extended to Qin Shuo and Xia Zhaoyao's future students. They were at the level of children, but as the core subjects of the topic, Qin Shuo and Xia Zhaoyao did not behave abnormally. Anyway, those who are clean will themselves clean up!

"I told you, it's just a coincidence. Qin Shuo and I are innocent!"

"I just happened to lose my phone. I'm going to change my phone to a new one from Huawei. It's way ahead! Way ahead! Do you understand?!"

After class, Qin Shuo and Xia Zhaoyao were surrounded by a group of meddling gossips.

The two people's answers were surprisingly consistent, but sometimes, it's obvious that explanations don't have much effect.

"I gave birth to five innocent children, right?"

"Yaoyao, he just said 'shake'!"

Amidst the uproar, even the thick-skinned Qin Shuo couldn't resist it.

As for Xia Zhaoyao, he immediately ran out of the classroom with his textbooks in his arms, using the excuse of "escape for lunch".

The experience of searching and visiting places on campus during this period came into effect, and she easily got rid of everyone in just a few turns.

but……

"Uh-where does this come from?"

Xia Zhaoyao looked at the familiar school wall in front of him.

At the edge of the curved walkway is a gray building that looks like it's not yet fully in use.

From the looks of it, she should be somewhere on the edge of the school.

But there aren’t many reference buildings around, and I don’t think I’ve seen anything going down or up in this direction?
Xia Zhao walked around to the front of the building. The building looked like it had just been completed.

Unlike the names of other teaching buildings in the school that are directly stamped on the building, the name of this unfamiliar building is hung directly at the entrance.

The huge dark brown wooden plaque looks quite charming, with five large gilded characters deeply outlined in the center.

"——Twilight Library?"

What a weird name.

No, isn't there a library next to Jinghu Lake down there?

How come there are two libraries in the same school, and I have never seen this place before?
While Xia Zhaoyao was thinking, he didn't stop at all and walked directly to the glass door.

drop--

Sensing Xia Zhaoyao's approach, the door opened to the left and right automatically.

This is a completely unimaginable open hall, with wooden floors extending all the way from the door.

Warm-colored chandeliers cast a lazy light, and two rows of bookshelves at least four to five meters high extend left and right along the curved hall.

At the end of the hall, the spiraling classical staircase is connected to the carved railings with the same ancient charm.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the scene here doesn’t match the scene outside!
Xia Zhaoyao felt alarmed for no reason.

However, before she could step back, the still room suddenly started to "move".

The light that originally lingered in the room seemed to come alive, spreading slowly and quickly in the direction of Xia Zhaoyao.

It's a strange feeling to have light "diffuse", right?But Xia Zhaoyao said this word at this moment.

The brilliant light like dusk instantly engulfed her body and surged towards the world behind her.

Huh? !

One second, or only half a second.

Xia Zhaoyao reacted and quickly turned around to look.The clouds in the distant sky swayed, and the gorgeous dusk-like light rolled up against the sky.

Then, the hot and dazzling afternoon sun was suddenly covered with a veil, as if time had sped forward countless times in the sky.

The dazzling day turned into a gorgeous dusk at a speed visible to the naked eye, and once again spread over the campus below.

In this light that is incompatible with noon, everything in the world begins to undergo incredible changes.

Not far away, the top of the school bell tower, which had just been put into use, slowly collapsed.

Terrifying cracks spread along the outer wall of the teaching building, and the stairs let out a silent scream and collapsed like a chain.

The masonry that fell into tiny fragments quickly turned white and pulverized in the gorgeous yellow light, falling toward the cracked ground.

The stainless steel retractable door at the entrance of the parking garage further away is constantly rusting, as if it has gone through a long period of time, corroding and deforming into a pile of scrap metal in an instant.

Eh? ?

Xia Zhaoyao looked blankly at the world shrouded in brilliant light.

Just a few minutes ago, she was still thinking about how to deal with that stupid roe deer in the future.

but……

etc!That silly roe deer——

"Xia, Xia——"

There was a faint, stretched-out noise like an old record coming from the distant slope.

Xia Zhaoyao opened his eyes wide, and a staggering figure appeared at the end of the long uphill trail.

Qin Shuo...

In the strange, brilliant light of dusk, the energetic boy was drying up and aging at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not just his appearance, but also the clothes and glasses on his body, even the lamppost and the ground next to him...

Everything seemed to span an extremely long time in an instant.

Except Xia Zhaoyao.

Only she remained unchanged.

The brilliant light of dusk passed by her like running water, surrounding her like threads.

Xia Zhaoyao raised his head and took a deep look at the teaching buildings in the distance that were disintegrating one by one.

On top of the falling rubble and smoke.

A misty mist of light beats gently like a heart, as if it is gestating an unknown god.

In the sky, the clouds were pulled by some invisible force and turned into dozens of expanding vortices.

Roar--

From the distant campus came waves of wild beast-like roars.

Xia Zhaoyao didn't need to imagine to know what the source of those sounds looked like——

Qin Shuo, who was shriveled and extremely old, began to twist and deform, with black hair and mole-like claws emerging from his body.

Along with the sound of sharp claws scratching across the asphalt driveway, Xia Zhaoyao vaguely smelled a sickening stench of decay.

"Okay, it's time to go-"

A gentle voice she had never heard before suddenly sounded in her ears.

"The dusk of this world has arrived, and your story has just begun -"

"...SH423."

　La la la~ I carefully wrote a strange ending~
　　I’m getting ready to start a new book, well, it’s a seamless transition!

　　should……

　　It's seamless... right?
　　Weak weak…
