Author: A Clockwork Orange Dream

Yan Jingxing sat in front of the window and made plans for his future.

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

——First of all, he must regard what he just dreamed as real, or at least as a symbol with some strong meaning.

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

"We have all seen that kind of thing in reality. No matter how bizarre the development is, we shouldn't be surprised."

He thought to himself as he turned his pen.

Regarding the scene seen in the dream, the most critical thing was obviously the two women; following through on his guess, Yan Jingxing believed that the real bodies of the two people were probably Ji Chunzao and Xie Yuzhi in their adult years.

After further consideration on this basis, an incredible conclusion naturally emerges:

"...Uh, can it be said that I have seen the future?"

And in that "future", they all seemed to have become very powerful people - this was also an intuition. After all, the duration of the picture was very short, and he only judged it from the atmosphere conveyed to him by the picture.

Yan Jingxing thought and recorded it on paper.

In short, the above guess was not only bold, but also full of his own arbitrary and conjecture, but he still decided to think along this direction.

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

The tip of the pen pressed hard against the paper.

"Just hug their thighs." He murmured, "Chun Zao's thighs are really easy to hug. Just keep our current friendship. But I'm not familiar with Xie Yuzhi's words at all."

Fortunately, Chun Zao knew her very well. And judging from Ji Chun Zao's performance yesterday, the girl never gave up her intention to persuade her.

If the plan succeeds like this, the two parties will become familiar with each other.

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

After thinking about it, Yan Jingxing put the issue aside for the time being.

"Forget it, anyway, the Xie Yuzhi in the dream does not look like she is graduating from junior high school; and if that is true, it means that sooner or later she will realize the true face of the world... don't be in a hurry."

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

"What does that guy mean by not saying a word?"

There was insufficient information about the "astronaut", and no matter how hard he thought, 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 given by the mysterious astronaut.

However, where is that black tower? On the earth? It doesn’t look like the surrounding scenery, whether it’s the strange fog lingering in the wilderness or the red lightning in the clouds...

Is it a different world, or an alien planet?

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

Thinking of this, Yan Jingxing thought of another thing:

——Are the so-called alien creatures really alien creatures?

No, of course he does not doubt the existence of supernatural creatures. The problem is that they may not come from aliens, such as some kind of ghosts, or creatures from another world. Why does Ji Chunzao believe that it must be "alien life"?

"Well, it's really a question worth considering."

Yan Jingxing raised his head and saw that the color of the sky was gradually getting brighter. The rising sun rising from the east spread its morning rays to every corner of the seaside town.

A new day has begun.

"Go and discuss it with Chun Zao." He quickly made up his mind.

Arriving at the classroom, the first thing Yan Jingxing did after putting down his schoolbag was to walk to the back row, but there was no one in Ji Chunzao's seat.

At this time, a petite figure who was very fast and furious ran into the classroom and almost bumped into him.

"Chun Zao...? What's wrong with you?"

He looked at her a little doubtfully.

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

Ji Chunzao opened his bright eyes, as if saying, "What are you asking?"

"Aliens are aliens. You can tell at a glance. Are there any other possibilities?"

...an answer that really fits her style.

Speaking of which, Chun Zao seems to have mentioned that she doesn't believe in the existence of ghosts and "must believe in science" or something like that...

"lets change a topic!"

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

"They're here again!"

"ah?"

"It's 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 would only be possible after one or two years?"

"I...I don't know..." She shook her head, the expression on her face showed confusion, "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 was too small to say there was any pattern.

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

Ji Chunzao's voice was so loud that almost everyone in the class could hear it. At this time, it was inevitable that someone would look at them with strange eyes.

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

*

After school, as the sky grew 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.

"Speaking of which, if it's not until the weekend, the captain should still be in the dormitory instead of the cram school. Even if he sees the 'spiritual leeches' attacking humans, your method won't be useful."

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

Pass."

"She is really hardworking." Yan Jingxing was quite emotional. When he was in school in the city, he had a classmate like this. All his after-school time and holidays were filled with all kinds of extracurricular tutoring, and he became a learning machine.

"I mean, it's hard to imagine."

The two secretly found an alley opposite and hid behind an unobtrusive telephone pole, just in time to keep an eye on the gray three-story building not far away. This time they were really monitoring it.

"What are you going to do?"

"As soon as the 'spiritual leech' arrives, I will rush out and pull her out."

Ji Chunzao clenched his fists and was very confident.

"This...are you going to use such strong tactics? Can you do it?"

"I may not be able to do it alone, but don't I have you?" the little girl said with a smile, "You are a boy, so you are not as strong as her."

Yan Jingxing was a little speechless. You want me to attack a girl? It's a shame you can think of it.

"That's not the problem. Remember her driver, right? He might be watching over here."

"...!"

Ji Chunzao's expression suddenly froze, and he finally managed to calm down and said in a panic:

"Then, take plan B! As soon as the 'leeches' appear, I will run in to find Yuzhi and persuade her to come out!"

Decisiveness changed to persuasion.

"You'd better be able to speak your mind."

"If she refuses to come out with me, I will... I will kneel down and hug her thighs, and plead with her in front of everyone with snot and tears," she snorted, and the long-haired girl's expression changed.

She regained her confidence and said, "In this way, even if Xie Yuzhi wants to stop me from continuing to make trouble, she has to be obedient."

You are really a talent for being so proud to act up in public.

Yan Jingxing couldn't help but sigh.

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

But Ji Chunzao is obviously "outside the Three Realms and not among the Five Elements". Maybe she can really do it...

If things really come to that point, it would be better for me to stop her.

"Wait, look! There seems to be another strange person coming in over there."

Yan Jingxing, who was deep in thought, raised his head and looked at the entrance of the cram school in the direction she pointed. There was a figure walking slowly towards the corridor from behind.

The middle-aged man staggered, his body swaying, and there was an indescribable weirdness in his slow and stiff movements.
