Chapter 13 Future Plans
Yan Jingxing sat in front of the window, making future plans for himself.

Too many things happened recently, and he didn't have time to calm down and organize his thoughts.

—First of all, he wants to see what he has just dreamed as real, or at least as a symbol of some strong meaning.

There was no particular reason, it was just Yan Jingxing's intuition, or simply because he wanted to do this.

"I've already seen that kind of thing in reality, no matter how weird the development is, I shouldn't be surprised."

He thought while turning his pen.

Regarding the scene seen in the dream, the most important thing is obviously those two women; after carrying out his guess to the end, Yan Jingxing believes that the real bodies of those two people are probably Ji Chunzao and Xie Yuzhi in adulthood.

After further consideration on this basis, an incredible conclusion is naturally produced:
"...Uh, could it be that I saw the future?"

And in that "future", they seem to have become very powerful people-this is also an intuition, after all, the duration of the picture is very short, and he only judges from the atmosphere conveyed to him by the picture.

Yan Jingxing was thinking while recording on paper.

In short, the above speculation is not only bold, but also full of his own dogmatism and conjecture, but he still decided to think in this direction.

"What should I do? Now that I have realized the dangers and unusualness of this world, and I know that there are people around me who can grow up in the future, the first thing to do..."

The tip of the pen poked hard on the paper.

"It's just hugging their thighs." He murmured, "Chunzao's thighs are easy to hug, so it's good to keep the current friendship. But I don't know Xie Yuzhi at all."

Fortunately, Chunzao is very familiar with her.And judging from Ji Chunzao's performance yesterday, the girl never gave up her plan to persuade her.

If the plan can be successful in this way, the two sides will be able to get acquainted.

"However, if it really takes a year or two for the 'spiritual leech' to appear, isn't it a bit too long?"

After thinking for a while, Yan Jingxing temporarily put this question aside.

"Forget it, anyway, Xie Yuzhi in the dream doesn't look like she graduated from junior high school; and if it's true, it means that she will realize the true face of the world sooner or later... There is no rush."

In addition, Yan Jingxing also saw a black tower in his dream, as well as the astronauts he had seen before.

"What does that guy mean by not saying anything?"

There was not enough information about the "astronaut", no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't get an answer. He sighed and could only give up.

"The second thing is to find the tower."

This is the only clear guidance from the mysterious astronaut.

But where is the black tower?on earth?Looking at the surrounding scenery is really different, whether it is the strange fog lingering on the wilderness, or the red lightning in the clouds...

That is, another world, or an alien planet?

In short, it is not a place where I can go now.

Thinking of this, Yan Jingxing thought of another thing:

——Is the so-called alien creature really an alien creature?
No, of course he does not doubt the existence of supernatural creatures. The problem is that they may not come from extraterrestrials, such as some kind of ghosts, or creatures from other worlds. Why does Ji Chunzao think that it must be "alien life"?

"Well, that's a question worth considering."

Yan Jingxing raised his head and saw that the color of the sky gradually brightened.The rising sun from the east spreads the light of morning light to every corner of the seaside town.

A new day has begun.

"Go and discuss with Chunzao." He quickly made up his mind.

*
When he came to the classroom, the first thing Yan Jingxing did after putting down his schoolbag was to go to the back row, but there was no one in Ji Chunzao's seat.

At this time, a petite figure in a hurry ran into the classroom and almost bumped into him.

"Chunzao...? What's wrong with you?"

He looked at her a little suspiciously.

"By the way, you came just in time. I have a question for you. Why do you think the things you see are from aliens?"

Ji Chunzao opened his bright eyes wide, as if to say, "What are you asking?"

"Aliens are aliens, you can tell at a glance, is there any other possibility?"

...It really fits her style of answer.

Speaking of which, Chunzao seems to have mentioned that she doesn't believe in the existence of ghosts, "believe in science" and so on...

"lets change a topic!"

The girl grabbed the boy's sleeve. She deliberately suppressed the volume, but she could still hear the impatience in her tone.

"There they are again!"

"what?"

"It's the spirit leeches! They appeared again, near the center of the town, in the same place as last time!"

"Didn't you say last time that it's possible after one or two years?"

"I...I don't know..." She shook her head, with a confused expression on her face, "I have only met three times in total, and the time between them is measured in years..."

Could it be a recent change?Yan Jingxing thought to himself, the sample size is too small to talk about any rules.

"Anyway, let's go together after school!"

Ji Chunzao's voice was so loud that almost all the students in the class could hear it. At this time, it was inevitable that someone would look at them strangely.

However, now Yan Jingxing has gradually begun to get used to this kind of thing.

*
After school, when the sky was getting dark, Yan Jingxing once again came to the commercial street in the center of Baiyue Town.

This time, I went out of school with Ji Chunzao.

"Having said that, before the weekend, the captain should still be in the dormitory instead of the cram school. Even if you see the 'spiritual body leech' attacking humans, your method will not work."

"No, she's here." Ji Chunzao shook his head. "I went to her class to ask about it. Although Yuzhi is a boarding student, she has to come to the town to attend cram schools every day after class. She even applied to the school for this purpose."

"She is really hardworking." Yan Jingxing was quite emotional.When he was in school in the city, he had such classmates. All the after-school time and holidays were filled with various extra-curricular tutoring, and he became a learning machine.

"That is to say, I always find it unimaginable."

The two secretly found an opposite alley, hid behind an unobtrusive telephone pole, and happened to be able to keep an eye on the gray three-story building not far away, and this time they were really watching.

"What are you going to do?"

"When the 'spiritual body leech' came, I rushed out and dragged her out."

Ji Chunzao clenched his fists, very confident.

"This... you plan to use such a strong method? Can it be done?"

"I might not be able to do it alone, isn't there you?" The little girl said with a smile, "You are a boy, so you can't be as strong as her."

Yan Jingxing was a little speechless.Let me attack girls?Thank goodness you figured it out.

"That's not the problem. Remember her driver? Maybe he's guarding around here."

"...!"

Ji Chunzao's expression froze all of a sudden, and he managed to hold back with great difficulty, and said in a panic:
"Then, then adopt plan B! As soon as the 'leech' appears, I will run in to find Yuzhi and persuade her to come out!"

Decisively changed to persuasion.

"You'd better be able to talk."

"If she refuses to come out with me, I'll... I'll kneel down and hug her thigh, and beg her with snot and tears in front of everyone," the long-haired girl's expression changed again with a soft snort. He regained his confidence, "In this way, even if Xie Yuzhi wants to stop me from continuing to make trouble, she has to be obedient."

How proud you are of being so proud in public, you are really talented.

Yan Jingxing couldn't help sighing.

Ordinary people may not be able to do this kind of thing, especially junior high school students with sensitive self-esteem, and girls with thinner skins are absolutely impossible to do it.

But Ji Chunzao is obviously "jumping out of the three realms and not in the five elements", maybe she can really do it...

If things really want to develop to that point, I'd better stop her.

"Wait, look! Another strange person seems to have entered over there."

The pensive Yan Jingxing raised his head and looked at the entrance of the cram school in the direction she pointed. There was a figure walking slowly into the corridor from the back.

The middle-aged man staggered, his body swayed, and there was an indescribably weird feeling in his slow and stiff movements.

that is not……

The middle-aged man with bald hair has a subtle sense of familiarity in his eyes.

"Jing Xing, don't you think this person looks familiar?"

"It looks familiar, where have you seen it before?"

He stroked his chin.As a junior high school student who studies hard, his life is nothing more than two points at school and one line at home. Recently, he has been staying with Chunzao on his holidays. Apart from here, he has actually been to very limited places.

"—Oh, yes, the one in the movie theater..."

"—the one attacked by the leeches!"

Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao thought of this person at the same time, and the young people looked at each other, their expressions became serious.

"All along, I have something that I forgot to ask you."

Yan Jingxing asked.

"You told me at the time that you wanted me to see the evidence of being attacked by aliens, but we came out of the theater that day and didn't see what happened later... So, those whose brains were eaten by spirit leeches What will happen to the person?"

Ji Chunzao bit her thumb, with a slight fear in her expression.

"It will become muddled, mentally disturbed, and finally...death."

"have you seen?"

"No, I specifically asked after it was confirmed for the first time that someone was attacked by alien creatures. Even if the 'leeches' were killed by astronauts on the spot in a movie theater, the result of the victim's attack did not change. All this After a few days, no matter how you look at it, you should die..."

"Even if you don't die, in common sense, the lack of a brain will definitely lead to insanity, right?"

Yan Jingxing frowned and analyzed.

"After his family noticed something abnormal, shouldn't they lock him up at home or send him to the hospital? At least it's impossible to walk around the street like that."

What's more, the man walked into the classroom where the cram school was located.Coincidence or not, they couldn't ignore it.

Things...seem to be a little off.

"Want to go in?"

He asked in a low voice for his friend's opinion.

"Go in!"

Ji Chunzao gritted his teeth and said.

……

The two walked cautiously into the doorway with "Qi Le Education Center" hanging on it.

There are several teachers in this cram school, and teachers and students come and go in the corridor from time to time.Fortunately, they are all junior high school students of similar age, and they are all from the experimental middle school, so they are not conspicuous.

No one noticed the intrusion of two people who were not students at all.

but……

"What about that person?"

They turned around in the corridor, but they didn't find that guy's figure.

The appearance of the middle-aged man is so conspicuous that they can't see it.But after entering this building, the other party seemed to disappear out of thin air.

"Could it be that he went to the classroom or the office?"

Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao looked in through the window furtively, and were almost spotted by Xie Yuzhi who was sitting in one of the classes.Finally, they came to the room at the far end of the corridor.

This is the office, they just wanted to push open the crack of the door to peek inside, and then——

The door opened.

A familiar figure stood at the door holding a glass thermos.

It's Teacher Gao.

She frowned and looked at the two of them. Of course, it was impossible for her not to know the students in her class.

During the school day, he was asked out by a girl in the same class to go shopping together, but he was bumped into by the head teacher, and his guardian was a teacher in the same office as the head teacher...

Yan Jingxing couldn't help but feel a black eye, which was different from convincing his uncle to let him go out to play on weekends; by the way, he also heard the nervous voice of the girl beside him swallowing saliva.

"What are you two doing here? Forget it, first..."

Teacher Gao pressed his knuckles between his eyebrows, his expression was angry and tired.

"Now wait, I have guests to entertain, and I have something to tell you later."

After that, she turned around and went back.

Then they both saw—

The man who was attacked by a "spiritual body leech" and should have had his brain eaten was sitting quietly on a chair in the office.

He seemed to have noticed the gaze of the boy and the girl, and turned his head to this side stiffly, with strands of thinning hair hanging on his forehead.The cloudy and lifeless pupils were inlaid on the bluish-white swollen face, and the corners of the mouth were raised a little bit, forming a weird arc.
