69, Chapter 69(1/2)
The two of them sent Uncle Feng back on the excuse of going to a classmate's house for a group discussion.
Ji Xingling took Lin Jing around the back alley and asked him: "Have you climbed over the wall before?"
"No, why do you have to climb over the wall? I always pretend to be sick when I go to school." Good students are so confused and can even say that they can be justified in pretending to be sick.
But this time, I can't sign a leave note with the teacher anymore. Lin Jing glanced at the short wall and threw his schoolbag to Ji Xingling.
The eldest young master was still asking, "Would you like to step on my hand?" Teacher Kobayashi was already riding a broken bicycle and sat on the wall agilely.
“…”
Lin Jing asked calmly: "Then, how do I go on?"
Ji Xingling didn't understand this profound question and answered puzzledly: "How to go on, turn it on."
Lin Jing’s expression is complicated, but to be honest, I am a little unfamiliar with my business in this regard.
Ji Xingling realized it and laughed out loud: "You only know how to go up and not go down?"
"Hurry up!" Teacher Kobayashi was a little bit angry, and it was embarrassing for me to ride here!
Ji Xingling carried the schoolbags of two people, climbed up neatly, and jumped into the school first.
"Come down, I'll follow you." He opened his hands.
Lin Jing closed his eyes and held the mentality of "My boyfriend is a monster, he is omnipotent, he is super fierce." He poked it straight.
Ji Xingling didn't expect that he would be in such a straight and straight stick posture, and almost couldn't catch it: "Hey, would you be softer, okay?"
"Why should you be softer? Don't men be harder?"
"...No, don't stop late at night, I'm not mentally prepared."
"Let me down." Lin Yi patted his shoulder, "Let's go find Grandpa Dashu."
This was the first time the two of them slipped into the campus late at night. The small playground was pitch black and windless, but the other side of Dongshan Tower was brightly lit. There should be workers doing indoor demolition. The third and fourth floor green safety nets were penetrated by incandescent lamps, making the whole sky turn green. Waste scrap trucks were in and out, and there were staff with safety helmets everywhere, dust was flying.
"The street lights on the other side of the garden are also on." Lin Jingyi lowered his voice, "If we pass by now, we will definitely be discovered by those people."
"Come on!" Ji Xingling pulled his hand and ran like the wind in the night.
They first walked around the office building, then walked through the stadium, then went out of the used equipment room, and finally hid in a shadow.
And the old tree is not far away.
Lin Jing never thought that there would be such a strange route. He panted and said, "Ji Xingling, you are really amazing!"
Your brother Xing calmly conceals this is his rich experience of skipping school, which is cool to express his meaning.
But I have only been here recently. A team of workers were smoking and chatting in front of the garden. There was an additional string of light bulbs next to it, and the lighting was all-round and there were no blind spots.
Lin Jing asked: "It's impossible for them to stand here all night, right?"
"No, it's too cold tonight." Ji Xingling grabbed his hand and put it in his school uniform pocket to warm it. "I'll find a friend to go to the tree to ask."
"Monster friend?"
"Yeah." Ji Xingling paid more attention to this. Even though he liked Teacher Xiaolin very much, he did not reveal his brother Wangyoucao - after all, the identity of the monster is still very high. He was about to call Ge Hao, but Lin Jing pulled him: "Wait a minute, it seems that someone is coming."
A building materials car parked at the end of the runway, and more than a dozen people jumped off from it. The man in the lead was wearing a black sportswear. Ji Xingling said: "It's Wei Li."
"Xinli's boss?" Lin Jing was surprised, "It's so late, what are he doing?"
Within a few minutes, the workers on the other end of Dongshan Tower also began to walk by in groups.
This is obviously not a necessary process to demolish the old building. Seeing that more and more people gathered near the garden, Lin Jing was also becoming more and more anxious: "They just rushed to the big tree, right?"
"Don't panic first." Ji Xingling looked from afar, unable to tell whether he should inform the Demon Management Committee, so he said to Lin Jing, "You record their behavior first, if it will be useful in the future."
Lin Jing touched the screen twice: "Damn, it's out of power!"
Ji Xingling took his cell phone and went back a few seconds later: "Okay, I won't be allowed to learn to swear words from now on."
Lin Jing: “…”
He looked at the screen of the phone turning on and asked in shock: "Can you still do this?"
"Well, I bring my own lightning." Although this race's talent is indeed very strong, it is obviously not suitable to show off now, and it is even more suitable to explain what a monster current converter is. There are more and more people around the old tree, and the floating soil layer has been completely cleared out. A large roll of white cotton foam soaked in water has been rolled over, obviously preparing to wrap the tree roots.
The weather was too cold, and Lin Jing's phone was still on the boot screen for a long time. He watched eight hands popping out of a migrant worker's back, and the shovel was like an enclave, lifting a piece of loess, but the people around him were calm and their faces turned pale. He lowered his voice in disbelief: "All these hundreds or ten people are monsters?"
Ji Xingling realized the seriousness of the matter and did not bother to consider the idea of the sacred tree, and planned to report it to the Demon Management Committee first.
But the phone was hung up when it didn't have a "beep" sound. The same was true for calling twice. The signal was so weak that it was almost impossible to search. Lin Jing next to him was so slow that his phone finally turned on slowly, but not only did he not have the Internet, but he could only take a shaking light and shadow even the camera could only take a shaking light and shadow.
Ji Xingling wondered: "Why are you shooting me?"
Lin Jing was even more confused: "I can record you, but I can't record the garden."
The two of them were like being trapped by an invisible barrier and completely lost contact with the outside world.
When encountering such a thing in the middle of the night, rounding around is basically a horror story, not to mention that there are a group of strange monsters in the distance. They are too lazy to maintain human figures. They relies on the darkness to pull out their original bodies, and their minions join forces to fight, almost digging a small sandstorm next to the old tree.
Lin Jing was nervous: "Are we covered by something?"
Ji Xingling was a little panicked at first, but after all, he was a fierce monster who had seen the world. He quickly calmed down again and felt...however, this annoying barrier seemed a bit familiar. It seemed to be from a Mirage Dragon, but his spiritual power was very thin. So was it the cold and indifferent cub on Uncle Mian's house?
So he deliberately said, "No, it may not be something."
As soon as he finished speaking, a broken basketball was indeed smashed out of the equipment room. Ji Xingling pulled Lin Jing and flashed quickly. The basketball flew straight forward, but he didn't know what he bumped into in the air. He made a dull sound and bounced heavily in the opposite direction.
The noise that was causing trouble was not small. Lin Jing instinctively looked at the garden and saw the workers still busy, as if they had not noticed the sound of this head at all. Even Wei Li turned into a head... I don't know what it was, a wild boar, or a dog.
As a minor high school student, Teacher Kobayashi has endured too many thrilling scenes that he shouldn't have to bear. He doesn't even have to ask "what's going on" anymore, and just looks at Ji Xingling quietly - you are super fierce, you can tell me first.
"Wait a little longer." Ji Xingling pressed his shoulder, but he was not in a hurry. Since Mirage was there, he could probably guess that the Demon Management Committee might have made arrangements, so he said, "Anyway, the old tree can't be dug away for a while."
Lin Jing glanced behind him again with his eyes. What was going on in the equipment room?
"It's okay, my own people."
"Yeah." Seeing that he was so calm, Lin Jing felt a little relieved and continued to watch the movements in the garden. A bleak crescent moon hung in the sky, revealing a hint of light red. I felt sorry for this classic scene without making a ghost. Ji Xingling noticed his uneasy, so he reached out to hug the person: "Is it cold or not, I'll take you home first?"
Lin Jing did not agree, and he was worried about the old tree. The two saw that the pits in the garden were getting louder and louder, and their voices were "pongping" but there was not even a security guard who came to ask about it. In a flash, even Wei Li disappeared.
“…”
Ji Xingling explained: "He just got into the soil, and it was a raccoon."
In order to better understand my boyfriend, Lin Jing had checked a lot of information before, and vaguely remembered that Li Li seemed to be a monster who was good at digging holes. But before he could ask new questions, the huge crown of the old tree had begun to shake left and right, and the rustling sound was like the densest spring rain.
Lin Jing's heart was gone, and he thought the big tree was about to rise up, so he almost ran over to stop him after a fever.
As a result, the next moment, a thin branch was pulled out from the ground with force. The strong monster struggled and tried to chew off the branch with its sharp teeth several times, but it failed. Instead, it attracted another branch to sweep it in the air and slapped him heavily.
"Bang!"
Li Li screamed, his head tilted, as if he was dizzy.
All this happened too quickly. The workers who were about to arrive on the scene were even stunned for a few seconds. When they realized that the unlucky one was the boss, they all showed their fierce expressions, bared their fangs and swung their sharp claws, and were about to pounce on them. However, more tree roots emerged from the ground, like horse whips, sweeping through the dust and wind, sucking on these monsters.
"ah!"
The howling sounds came one after another, resounding in the empty campus, more harsh and sharper than the whistle. The monsters ran around in scattered places, but no matter where they hid, they could not escape the scattered roots of the sacred tree. No one knew where his roots had grown, and it seemed endless. The stadiums, libraries, teaching buildings, and the fine and dense roots continued to stretch and spread, emitting silver light under the incandescent lamps.
It is this old tree that supports the entire Shanhai High School.
The people from the Demon Management Committee have arrived. They seem to be ready. They lead the police and the search team and several large trucks in one after another, including Tang Yaoxun and Ji Minglang.
The whole incident changed from a bad script of "the villain used despicable means to win" to a story of adults taking advantage of the tricks, or to lead a snake out of the hole. The Demon Management Committee seemed to have made a lot of effort and gained a lot. Ji Xingling whispered: "Or we'll leave too, it should be fine now."
Lin Jing took the schoolbag from him, and the two of them slipped out of the school as they were.
It was not until I left Shanhai High School that my phone returned to the full signal. Lin Jing was still thinking about the scene just now, his heart was beating wildly, and after a long time he said: "Is that the most powerful monster?"
"Count it." Ji Xingling stood by the roadside and called a taxi. "I don't know what Li Li thought, but he would actually bring a hundred monsters to dig the sacred tree."
Fortunately, Teacher Kobayashi did not raise the topic of "Is that you powerful or the sacred tree powerful" that would obviously embarrass my boyfriend, but continued to ask: "Why is there such a loud scream that the surrounding residential buildings are not on? Also, who is in the equipment room?"
"Because the Demon Management Committee had already made arrangements, Uncle Shen was isolated from the mountains and seas and the outside world in advance." Ji Xingling explained, "There is also a Mirage Dragon in the equipment room, but its spiritual power is very thin. Maybe it was Uncle Shen's son, who came here to join in the fun."
"We had a problem with our phone just now, and it was also because of Mirage Dragon?"
"He is reminding us not to act rashly. With a mirage barrier, even if you rush out to save the big tree, you will be blocked."
"Then why didn't we wait for him just now?"
"What are you waiting for him?"
"Say hello, and thank you."
"Do you want to see the Mirage Dragon?"
"……Um."
"Next time, it's too messy tonight. And Uncle Shen is here. If he finds us two, we will be criticized and educated again."
Teacher Kobayashi still wanted to continue with 100,000 Whys, but the online car-hailing system had already stopped in front of him, so he had to shut up for the time being.
Because both of them had reported to their parents before and said they wanted to go to their classmates' homes for group discussions, they could stay away at night. The driver pulled them to the nearby Ritz Hotel. The front desk lady saw that there were two high school boys wearing school uniforms, so she gave them a twin room without asking.
Your brother Xing has no experience in checking a room, so he opened the door and found out why there were two beds. No, no, so he protested: "I apply to change the big bed."
"No change." Lin Jing threw his schoolbag on the sofa, "You go and take a shower, I still have to digest what I saw tonight."
