In the lounge of the side hall of the multi-purpose hall of DX Academy, a boy with numerous bandages sitting on his body was bored, his light cherry-colored short hair swaying slightly as his body swayed. Only the boy's nametag stood out on the empty table -

- Just wild.

Teacher Xinghan promised to come back in a while, but why did he go so long? Zino accidentally touched the wound on his abdomen with his arm, and he groaned in pain.

He said it was a test of my ability, but it turned out to be just a one-sided killing. Jino curled his lips in dissatisfaction and gently rubbed the soreness in his arm.

Thinking that he was beaten almost to death just now, and now there is only a little bit of pain left, it turns out that his recovery ability is terrifyingly strong now.

Gazing at the scars on his hands, Kaino couldn't help but recall the tragic situation when he was on the verge of death three months ago. Since that day, his world has changed, and supernatural powers have quietly arrived, changing his supposedly ordinary life.

Three months ago——

"Ziye, it's time to hand in your homework!" Jiang Chenye knocked on the table with his index finger knuckle. Zhiye lay on the table and felt the vibration coming from below.

A carp jumped up, and Jiano stood up instantly and took out the results of this morning's hard work from the hole in the table.

"I know." Then he quickly leaned back on the table, and a small purr gradually came out.

"Hey, hey, you stayed up late again yesterday, right?" Jiang Chenye reluctantly took over the homework, bent down and raised his face, only to see the dark circles under the boy's eyes.

"The big exam is coming soon, it's not okay for you to stay up late doing other things."

"Hmm... um!" Kano didn't hear anything clearly, and just responded to his friend's caring words based on his intuition.

Whenever it is late at night and everyone is sleeping peacefully, there is always a light that stays on at night in Xicheng District until dawn. On nights when he is not in class, Zino works as a gunman for a well-known wood carving house. The wood carvings were passed down from his mother's ancestors until his father disappeared.

, his mother passed away, and only then did Zeno pick up the carving knife again to find a way out for his own livelihood.

It is not that simple to support oneself. Zhino also wants to work there, but Party A always rejects him on the grounds that Zhino is still in school and is too young to work most of the time. This is true, after all, he is still in school.

Underage.

Tadano had no choice but to sell his handmade small carvings online. As a result, he was attracted by the well-known sculptor Wang Zhi. The offer was too much, and Tadano began his journey as a gunman.

Just last night, when Kazuo was working hard for a living, because of the soreness in his neck, Kazuo stood up and moved around. When he looked at his tired self on the window glass, a green figure flashed in front of him.

Pass.

Maybe it was because of the carving, but Zino's strength was better than that of ordinary people. He clearly saw the appearance of that person. It was a woman, no, it couldn't be considered a person to be precise, because she had no legs, instead she looked like a snake.

's tail.

He was pretty sure that thing saw him too, and even now he still trembles because of that thing's sinister eyes.

Sure enough, a horrific murder occurred on the 23rd floor this morning. On the 23rd floor, only two people knew that they were a happy and kind-hearted couple with two lovely children. When others were unwilling to pay attention to the orphan, only two

The child would always say hello to him in the elevator, and the couple would sympathize with his plight and often comfort him.

He didn't understand why such a terrible thing happened to such a good family. He learned about the tragic situation of that family from the troublemaking neighbor. It was said that the mistress died in an extremely tragic way, and even her appearance became neither human nor ghost.

The two children were like mummies, as if all their blood and vitality had been sucked out.

"It seems like it's not something ordinary people can do."

"It's so miserable that ordinary people can't do it. It is said that the male master of their family has not been found yet, and they don't know whether he is alive or dead."

In the elevator, two women were discussing quietly.

Zeno clenched his fists tightly, feeling indescribable grief in his heart. It was not that he did not know this, but in 17 years of ordinary life, he had never encountered anything extraordinary, not even a person with super powers.

He had seen it before, and he couldn't help but be frightened by the sudden terror.

When he got out of the elevator, he saw a man with droopy eyes who seemed lazy and a woman with a delicate face wearing a cheongsam. When they passed each other, he caught a glimpse of the EX mark on the man's chest.

Kano thought that the monster he saw last night that looked like a human but not human must be related to the tragedy on the 23rd floor. When he turned around and wanted to tell the two people who entered the elevator, the elevator door closed and he saw the listless man looking at him.

His eyes became sharp.

In the end, Zeno didn't take that step. He was a little afraid of the man's eyes, the kind of eyes that gave people a sense of suffocation. Thinking back to the situation last night, he thought about it carefully. Maybe he was too sleepy yesterday and had hallucinations. Why?

Maybe there is something with a human body and a snake's tail? Kazuo comforted himself.

When he arrived at school, there was a scene where Jiang Chenye asked him for homework.

I don't know whether he was too sensitive or what happened was too terrifying, but he felt the hair on his back all morning, as if someone was watching him in the dark.

"Ziye, what are you doing? If you don't eat, your food will get cold." Jiang Chenye took a large piece of meat and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.

"Ah..." Jiano felt very uncomfortable, "Chen Ye, did you notice anyone looking at me?"

"Ah?" Jiang Chenye was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Hahaha! Zhiye, stop being funny, how can anyone pay attention to you?"

Jiano pouted at Jiang Chenye in front of him, "I just feel like someone is always looking at me."

"Hey, it seems like there is a girl over there who keeps glancing over here."

Jiang Chenye pointed at a suspicious girl in the corner behind Zhiye who lowered her head and looked up from time to time.

Jiano looked in the direction of Jiang Chenye's finger and saw a petite girl.

The peeping girl seemed to realize that she had been discovered. She suddenly stood up, picked up the tray with a blushing face, and ran away.

"That person is Shen Jiao." Jiang Chenye picked up another piece of meat, "Why did she run away?"

Izano looked thoughtfully at the girl's running back, but it wasn't her, and her sight wasn't that scary.

After school, Jiano was left to clean up because he failed in his homework. Shen Jiao was also left behind.

"Zi Ye, do you want me to wait for you?" Jiang Chenye turned around and saw Shen Jiao, who was hemming and hawing and blushing, as if she wanted to say something to Zhi Ye.

Jiang Chenye raised his eyebrows, as if he understood something.

"Zano, I'm leaving first. Please remember to send the girl home later~"

"Huh?" Jiano turned his head and could only see the back of Jiang Chenye who had disappeared long ago.

"Well... Mr. Taino..." Shen Jiao's voice was small, and with her head lowered, it was even harder for people to hear what she was saying.

"Huh? What's the matter? Classmate Shen Jiao?" Zano and Shen Jiao are not familiar with each other. They have never spoken to each other. As for his impression of her, maybe he speaks very quietly and seems to be very shy all the time.

Shen Jiao's head lowered even lower, and she hesitated for a long time without saying anything. The strange atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she moved to the side, preparing to finish her duty quickly. Shen Jiao also came when she saw this. help.

The sun was setting in the west, and the shadows were stretched long by the setting sun. A man and a woman were walking on the road slightly awkwardly. Shen Jiao looked to the right at the boy from time to time. When she saw the boy's gaze, she quickly turned her head and could only look The ears are red and ripe.

It was not easy for Taeno to ask the strange and awkward girl next to him, so he could only walk slowly home with her.

In an instant, Ziono felt the murderous aura behind him, which penetrated into Ziono's limbs and bones. Ziono's body froze, and it couldn't be an illusion. This feeling was the same as last night, a vicious and murderous feeling. Like a poisonous snake staring closely at its prey, it will die in the next second.

The woman in green clothes at the corner looked at Zino's back, and gradually smiled, her sharp teeth exposed. Her intuition was quite powerful.

Let's feel the living air again, after all, there will never be a next time.

Shen Jiao was startled by Jiu Ye's appearance at this time. She was at a loss when she saw the cold sweat on Jiu Ye's forehead and his slightly trembling body.

"Zono-san, are you okay?" Shen Jiao looked at Zono uneasily and asked about his condition with concern.

Zeno came back to his senses, "It's okay, I just suddenly thought of something, it doesn't matter." Zeno tried to smooth things over, saying that he wanted to send Shen Jiao home as soon as possible.

When they arrived at a crossroads away from Shen Jiao's house, Shen Jiao said there was no need to send her off anymore, just come here.

Zhiye responded absentmindedly to Shen Jiao's thanks. Just as Zhiye was about to leave, the clothes around his waist were suddenly pulled.

"That one! Kazuno-kun!" Shen Jiao's nervous and trembling voice came out from behind Kazuno. When Kazuno stopped and turned around, Shen Jiao let go of her hand that was tightly grasping the corner of Kazuno's clothes.

"Taeno-kun..."

"Huh?" Gaino felt that Shen Jiao's attitude today was strange, "Classmate Shen Jiao, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

As he said this, he wanted to lower his head to see the girl's condition.

Shen Jiao shyly hid back, her cheeks already ripe.

"Zano-san! I like you!" Shen Jiao closed her eyes and expressed her love to the boy in front of her in her loudest voice.

"Huh?" Kano was a little stunned. He was at a loss to respond but could only say broken words.

"Classmate Shen Jiao...I..."

Shen Jiao saw the boy's embarrassment and quickly waved her hand, "Zeno-kun, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I, I'm just telling you the feelings that have always been in my heart..."

The girl lowered her head, and the bangs on her forehead covered her expression at the moment.

The big exam is just a few days away, and if she doesn't say it, she won't have the chance to say it... Zono is the boy she has liked for two years. She will always remember that the boy swatted away the basketball that was thrown at her quickly. The young boy sweating in the hot summer entered her heart.

Justo scratched his head in confusion, it was the first time in more than ten years that someone had confessed to him. To be honest, he would be envious when he saw others being confessed, but when this kind of thing really happened to him, Justo just felt embarrassed. I do not know what to say.

"I'm sorry, classmate Shen Jiao, I... don't have such thoughts at the moment... I..." Zeno felt that none of the essays in the exam were as difficult as the words he was speaking at this moment.

"It's okay, it's okay, Taino-san." Shen Jiao raised her head, and crystal clear liquid fell from the girl's eyes.

Shen Jiao had already looked down upon the outcome, but she still couldn't control her sad emotions, and tears fell unconsciously.

"Thank you, classmate Shen Jiao. This is the first confession I have received. Although I cannot respond to you, I am really happy, really!"
