I've heard this urban legend

This house was originally owned by Zhang Keran's grandfather, but later the old man moved away, and Zhang Keran came to live here occasionally, because it is quiet and rarely disturbed by people, so he can devote himself to his studies. It was here that he calculated the trajectory of the ghost train.

After Zhang Keran walked in with Jiao Tianmo, he sat on the wooden chair and stared at him blankly.

The only bit of rationality left in him told him that people should not be taken home, but this idea was quickly suppressed by Jiao Tianmo's strange affection.

Jiao Tianmo glanced at the room, "Is there anything to eat?"

"...Yes, I don't know, there may be leftover instant noodles in that box..." Zhang Keran pointed to the cardboard box in the corner.

Jiao Tianmo looked at Zhang Keran, swallowed, and walked towards him, "It's too little, I don't know if it's enough to eat."

As he approached, Zhang Keran opened his eyes slightly, "...I..." His heart was beating violently, and there was an inexplicable impulse, which made him feel scared.

Jiao Tianmo touched his hand, leaned over and smiled in his ear, "Go, close the curtain."

"No... no..." Zhang Keran told him with the last trace of rationality that he couldn't do this. He must not be gay, because he didn't have any idea about Xue Fei, but why on earth could he not resist this guy when he met him.

Jiao Tianmo leaned over and kissed his ear, and said with a smile, "Go."

Zhang Keran looked at him blankly, got up and put down all the curtains, then returned to Jiao Tianmo, looked at him blankly, and murmured: "You are so beautiful...why didn't I I think a man would be so good-looking..."

Jiao Tianmo smiled, caressed his cheek, and whispered: "You know Xue Fei, right? I see that you are often together recently, what are you talking about?"

For the right to mate, human beings can do anything, and the most basic behavior is to please their spouses.

Zhang Keran looked at Jiao Tianmo at this moment, and only had one thought, give him whatever he wants, as long as the other person is happy, so he took off his backpack and took out Lu Chao's diary, "We're talking about this."

"Be good, be good." Jiao Tianmo touched Zhang Keran's cheek with a smile, leaned over and kissed him lightly, and waited for Zhang Keran to completely lose consciousness and look like a wooden stake, opened Lu Chao's diary, and browsed through it roughly.

As the reading progressed, the corners of his mouth curled up more and more, and finally he closed the diary with satisfaction.

"Tell me more about Lu Chao."

Zhang Keran knew everything, and told everything he knew about Lu Chao in detail.

When talking about how to crack the diary, Jiao Tianmo praised casually: "You are amazing, you can crack such a difficult password."

Zhang Keran smiled flatteringly: "Do you like it? Would you like me to explain the cracking process? It's actually very simple. The encryption grammar of the Virginia cipher can be written in the form of congruence, and then use Friedman's coincidence The index describes the unevenness of the frequency of ciphertext letters, and the password can be cracked. Look here, this is the formula, and KP refers to the probability that two arbitrary letters in the target language are the same..."

"..." Jiao Tianmo squinted at him. Although he could understand every word he said, he couldn't understand the words together. Hearing Zhang Keran's eloquent talk, he felt a little headache before he knew it.

The more Zhang Keran talked, the more excited he became. There was only one thought in his mind, to share his favorite things with the other party.

He likes him so much, so he must also let the other party realize the beauty of mathematics.

Jiao Tianmo was not interested in a single word he said, and felt that he was really annoying, "Can you stop talking?"

Zhang Keran was hit, he quickly closed his mouth, and said cautiously: "Are you angry?"

At this time, Zhang Keran's cell phone rang again. Jiao Tianmo took it over to look at it first, and it was another message from Xue Fei, "Can you send me a selfie of you wearing the amulet? It's nothing else, just to confirm one time."

Jiao Tianmo cleared the news impatiently, he has no time to talk to Xue Fei now.

This ignorance was serious, and Xue Fei sent him a message that made him feel cold all over: I'll go over and find you to confirm, don't worry, I will pay for the round trip by myself.Talismans will also carry you along.

"Why are you so annoying." Jiao Tianmo put down his phone, looked at Zhang Keran who was talking inexplicably, and felt unappetizing like never before, and walked out with his diary.

In this diary, he made a major discovery, which is much more nutritious than eating this nonsense kid, and that guy Xue Fei is coming again, so it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, it is still a matter of business.

"Do you want to go?" Zhang Keran looked at his leaving back, and said reluctantly, "If you are not interested in this, then let's talk about Fourier series." He said that he wanted to chase after Jiao Tianmo.

As a result, Jiao Tianmo slammed the door, and he flung himself on the door, his nose hurting from knocking, but he gradually regained consciousness, rubbing his nose and sitting for a while, "Damn... what am I doing... what was that just now?" people?"

Turned on the tap water to wash his face, he was startled when he heard someone knocking on the courtyard door, and dared not answer the door, when the phone rang again, he answered it, it was Xue Fei's voice, "Are you at home, open the door."

He tremblingly arrived at the gate, opened the courtyard door, and saw Xue Fei standing outside, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's really you."

"Who do you think it is?"

"I thought that guy came back just now." Zhang Keran let Xue Fei into the room, "He knew you and said he wanted to talk to me about you. He looks pretty good-looking, about this tall."

Zhang Keran made a gesture, the corner of Xue Fei's mouth twitched, he quickly took out his phone, and pulled out the social news, "Is it him?"

Zhang Keran pointed to the photo and said, "That's right, it's him. Damn, I think it looks familiar, I've seen it on the news." Then he grinned, "Is he a serial murderer?"

"...You guys...are you asleep?" Xue Fei asked with black lines all over his face. He had seen the plantain essence before.

Zhang Keran blushed, and said angrily, "I, I'm a straight man, okay? How could I sleep with him? I warn you, don't talk nonsense."

"That's right, if you've slept through, you'd be a mummy now." Xue Fei told Jiao Tianmo's background, and put the amulet around Zhang Keran's neck, seeing that he wasn't wearing any other amulets, "I knew that , it wasn’t you who replied to me just now.”

"You, how do you know?"

"According to your personality, there are not too many things that are good for you. Even if you have a talisman, I will not let it go." Xue Fei said: "I find it strange when you reply that you don't need it. Accept, the more the better, it is you."

"Thank you for understanding me so well." Zhang Keran was really frightened and wanted to cry, "I really took my life."

"You said that Jiao Tianmo took away Lu Chao's diary?"

"Yeah, it seems that after reading the diary, he lost interest in me." Zhang Keran said happily, completely unaware that he was chattering about math problems as well, "I don't know what he wants to do."

"Maybe go find Lu Chao, and I'll show you a piece of news." Xue Fei lowered his head and searched in his phone for a while, and opened a web page, "On May 13, 5, in County X, Province H, someone found a The white snake died in the fire, and the head of the white snake disappeared, and the footprints of the wild boar were left on the scene, it seems that the head was eaten by the wild boar."

"So?" Zhang Keran said: "The nutrients are in the head? Why not eat elsewhere?"

"That's right, it is said that the inner alchemy of the snake is in the head. After it died, a wild boar passed by and ate the inner alchemy of its head." Xue Fei said, "You still remember the little pill recorded in Lu Chao's diary, right? It's actually the inner alchemy. I suspect that Jiao Tianmo saw Lu Chao's diary and decided to cheat."

Zhang Keran was taken aback, then smiled and said, "This is a good thing. Dogs bite dogs, and they all died. The world will be quiet."

Xue Fei let out a long breath, "That would be great." But the topic changed, "But it's also possible that one side wins, and a bigger demon king is born."

Zhang Keran couldn't help but laugh, "Even if that's the case, the Great Demon King doesn't like our kind of stuffed teeth anymore."

Xue Fei patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "You must wear the amulet well, and you must live strong."

Zhang Keran opened his hand, "Isn't this nonsense?"

Seeing how sensitive he was, Xue Fei couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he touched Zhang Keran's shoulder before, but he didn't see such a reaction. It seemed that he had kissed Jiao Tianmo, and the straight male antibodies in his body were crazily reducing inflammation.

He smiled, "Anyway, come on."

Looking at Xue Fei's smile that seemed to know everything, Zhang Keran felt for the first time that making smart friends is also harmful.

-

Jiao Tianmo walked in the dark, holding Lu Chao's diary tightly in his arms, unable to contain the excitement in his heart.

Suddenly, a black figure sprang out from the alley next to him, grabbed his neck and dragged him to a secluded place.

The man said hoarsely: "I didn't create you to let you wander around, why don't you go to Qi Ming?"

"He has a talisman, I can't do anything to him." Jiao Tianmo looked at the eyes that were darker than the night, his body trembled slightly, he was really afraid of him.

"That's your own business. If you can't do it, it's easy for me to kill you."

Jiao Tianmo huddled and said, "I originally planned to confuse Zhang Keran and tell him to trick Xue Fei and Qi Ming..."

The other party shouted: "Then why don't you do it?"

"I found out that he only knew Xue Fei, and his relationship with Qi Ming was mediocre, and his friendship was not enough to trick them out." Jiao Tianmo said with a painful expression while breathing hard.

"I'll give you ten days. If you can't get close to Qi Ming and squeeze him dry, I'll destroy you. As long as I want, I can find you anytime and anywhere."

Jiao Tianmo begged: "Can you give me a few more days? The Qi family also sent people to look for me. It's really hard for me to hide around."

The other party conjured him up, let him charge forward, called him cannon fodder, but hid himself.

"That's your own business!" The man strangled his neck tightly, and could cut it off with more force. "Remember, you're just a broken plantain! It's easy to kill you."

"I, I understand..." Jiao Tianmo begged, "I understand."

The man let him go, and when Jiao Tianmo was squatting down to breathe, he aimed at him and kicked him a few times, "You can't escape, do your job well." After saying that, he walked away.

He actually saw the diary Jiao Tianmo was holding in his hand, but he had no interest in such a low-level plantain essence.

Jiao Tianmo squatted in the corner, watching the direction the other party was leaving, all kinds of complex emotions of resentment, resentment, fear, grievance welled up in his heart.

When this man let him be born, in addition to Qi Ming's blood, he also tied a red string to the root of his tree and chanted a curse, which caused him to be found no matter where he fled.

Unless reborn.

He hugged the diary tightly in his arms, this was his only hope.

In fact, Lu Chao's hiding place is not difficult to find. He met that spirit in the forest near his home, so they should be in a cave nearby.

After finding the forest, the rest will be easy. Species like them are attracted to each other, and they can be found by following the smell.

Finally, he came to the entrance of a deep cave and walked in cautiously.

He saw a huge white cocoon stuck to the wall in the depths of the cave, wrapped in fine and dense white, and stuck to the top of the cave.

The silkworm cocoon seemed to be breathing, and it was rising and falling at a constant speed.

Breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly, this is the time when it is most vulnerable.

He clings to it, although the silk thread entangles him for a moment, trying to absorb him, but he, who also has this ability, is not afraid at all, but feels that energy is pouring into his body continuously.

In the end, his whole body melted into the cocoon.

He wants to turn the guest into the master and become the new host.

-

The next day, Zhang Keran asked his classmates from the School of Biology to check his clothes, and found a lot of pheromones on them, which also explained why he couldn't walk when he saw Jiao Tianmo, and wanted to reproduce. Behavior.

Everything is still not beyond the scope of science.

Xue Fei, on the other hand, seemed to be more concerned about his condition than he himself, at least calling once a day to check on him.

At noon that day, Zhang Keran was having dinner in the cafeteria, and received a call from Xue Fei, who just said, "Are you okay?"

"Okay." Zhang Keran chewed the vegetables and said with a smile, "It's very good, and the state of feeling can even challenge the Poincaré conjecture."

Xue Fei is not interested in mathematics, "As long as you are good, keep in touch."

Zhang Keran hung up the phone and continued to eat.

In fact, he also wondered in his heart, if Xue Fei cared so much about what he did, he definitely couldn't fall in love with him, even if he was narcissistic, he still knew this.

Even if he dreamed that he would die, he wouldn't be so positive.

Just as I was thinking about it, I felt that there was another person on the opposite side. When I looked up, it was Lu Chao's mother, "Student Zhang, can I sit down?"

There was no one opposite Zhang Keran, "Sit down, sit down." On the surface, he was calm, but inside he wanted to run away in embarrassment. He really didn't know what to talk to Lu Chao's mother about.

"This is the note that Xiaochao found in the book when I was cleaning the house yesterday. Do you recognize this?" Lu Chao's mother handed over a note with strange symbols written on it.

Zhang Keran is full of curiosity. In other words, he can't control his head from thinking. He became interested and said, "Let me see." Especially if the author of the question is Lu Chao, if the cracking is successful, it is equivalent to victory. Roommate, more sense of accomplishment.

Zhang Keran looked at these symbols, and the time passed by second by second. When he came back to his senses, there was no one in the cafeteria, and the auntie in the cafeteria began to wipe the tables.

Lu Chao's mother took the note back, "Forget it."

"Can I take a picture? I'll go back and study it." Zhang Keran suggested, but was rejected by Lu Chao's mother, "If it doesn't work, forget it, maybe it was just written by Xiaochao on a whim."

"I think I have a clue, give me some more time. I know there is a tea restaurant nearby, let's go there for a while, give me another hour, and I will definitely be able to crack it." Zhang Keran is now full of passwords.

The two came to the tea restaurant, and Lu Chao's mother ordered tea. Looking at Zhang Keran, who was opposite, concentrating on calculations, she generously took a piece of medicine from her sleeve and put it into his hot drink. The whole process was immersed in Zhang Keran, who was solving the puzzle, didn't notice anything at all.

"Drink something." Lu Chao's mother pushed the drink to him.

Zhang Keran didn't even look at it, took a few sips, "...just a little bit, just a little bit...Give me another hour..."

Lu Chao's mother said calmly: "No rush, it's only an hour..."

Fifteen minutes later, she helped the sleeping Zhang Keran and said urgently to the waiter: "My son is sick, I'm going to drive, you can help me take care of him." She ran out the door, about 10 minutes later, she Pushing a wheelchair, she walked in, helped Zhang Keran onto the chair, went outside the door, asked the waiter to help her carry her to the car, and then drove away.

She wept while opening, muttering to herself, "Zhang Keran, maybe you are right, our Xiaochao may be able to defeat the parasitic goblin and regain a new life. I knew from the beginning that his body had changed, but I didn't know the specifics. The situation, thank you for cracking the diary, so that I can find the cave where Xiaochao and the others are hiding, thank you, auntie..."

Zhang Keran groaned in pain, but under the effect of the sleeping pill, he just hummed and continued to fall asleep.

She recalled what she saw yesterday, and came to the mountain according to the part mentioned in the diary. She saw white cocoons in the cave, and she saw scattered items that belonged only to her son, and she knew that his son was there. Inside the cocoon.

The white silk threads around the cocoon suddenly entangled her ankles, pulling her violently into the cocoon. Being entangled by those white silk threads, she seemed to be drained of energy instantly and became extremely tired.

Just when she thought she was going to die, the white silk thread suddenly let go of her and retracted.

In an instant, she broke down and cried. It must be her son who found out that it was her and couldn't bear to hurt her.

In the silkworm cocoon, there is no doubt that it is her son!

Xiaochao is still alive.

Xiaochao will break out of the cocoon and be reborn.

"Xiao Chao, don't worry, mom will bring you nourishment..." She wiped away her tears and looked back at Zhang Keran who was lying on the chair. Zhang Keran knows that his past will be very troublesome and not conducive to Xiaochao's new life.

The second point is especially important.

She sniffed, "... Mom, as long as you are hungry, don't worry... Mom is here..."

She drove to her destination without stopping.

When it was getting dark, she found a car behind her, following her all the time, and finally stopped her in a highway service area.

A man about Zhang Keran's age jumped out of that car, walked towards her without saying a word, looked at her car window and said, "Let Zhang Keran go."

Xue Fei looked inside the car and saw that Zhang Keran was sleeping soundly with his head turned in and his feet turned outward, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

She rolled down the car window and said with a smile: "I don't understand what you are saying, he is my son."

"Stop doing this, he is my buddy, if you don't let him go, I will call the police." Xue Fei said coldly.

Although he had never seen the woman in front of him, he guessed [-]% that it was Lu Chao's mother.

As soon as her eyes changed, she stepped on the accelerator and was about to force a breakthrough.

At this time, Xue Fei took out a broken window hammer and smashed it hard at the window of the rear seat, and the glass shattered. He reached in and opened the car door, grabbed Zhang Keran's foot and pulled it out.

"You are a mother, but Zhang Keran also has a mother..." Xue Fei glared at her.

Her lips trembled, and she clenched the steering wheel with tears in her eyes as if resigned to her fate. As soon as Zhang Keran landed, she turned around abruptly, bypassed the two of them, and started on the road again.

Xue Fei patted Zhang Keran's face vigorously, seeing him in a daze, he helped him into his car.

Sitting in the driving seat, Wu Shuo looked at Zhang Keran from the rearview mirror, "Is he the one you want to chase? If you let your boyfriend know that you value him so much, you can't be jealous."

"Two things." Xue Fei slapped Zhang Keran's face with a slap, but it didn't have any effect, and he could only wait for him to wake up naturally.

On the way back, Zhang Keran woke up leisurely, looked at Xue Fei, "...password..."

"What password?"

"I haven't figured out the password that Lu Chao's mother showed me...the note..." He said and took out his pocket.

Although Xue Fei didn't see what happened, she can roughly guess it, "Your curiosity was exposed too thoroughly, and she took advantage of it. The so-called password may be found anywhere, just to divert your Pay attention, so that I can drug you and kidnap you."

Zhang Keran woke up, "Why did she kidnap me?"

"Like feeding his son?"

Zhang Keran's face was uglier than crying, "No way?"

Xue Fei said: "If I don't show up in time, I should."

"We can't, leave her alone, there will be other victims..."

"Now? Just the three of us? Forget it, let's go back to the city and find some helpers." Xue Fei said.

Zhang Keran kept nodding, "It makes sense, it makes sense, you can't die."

-

She threw the car to the foot of the mountain, cried all the way up the mountain, came to the cave, and walked with the light of her mobile phone.

What did she do just now, how could she do such a terrible thing...

She is not herself anymore.

The huge white cocoon in the cave was glued to the center of the silk. She choked up and said, "If you are hungry, eat your mother..."

Otherwise, as long as she can move freely, she can't help but hurt others.

The silk crawled down the cave wall, suddenly bound her, and dragged her to the center of the dense silk...

Inside the cave, it was quiet.

Suddenly, the top of the silkworm cocoon slowly split open, and something came out of the cocoon.

-

Xue Fei put Zhang Keran in a good place, and when he returned home, he could describe it in four words as exhausted physically and mentally.

Recently, he has been staring at the tracing compass almost every day. Once the pointer swings violently, he immediately rushes to look for Zhang Keran.

For example, today, he snatched Zhang Keran back from Lu Chao's mother.

At this time, the phone rang, and when it was picked up, it was Qi Ming who said in a half-dead voice, "What's the matter?"

Qi Ming hesitated, "...I thought about what you told me a few days ago, and what you said may be true. I did eat the inner alchemy of other animals. So what we met recently Strange things are indeed directed at me. Moreover, the lawyer of the driver who hit me wants to contact me and ask for my understanding. The reason is that his client was not conscious when the accident happened. I didn’t take it seriously before. I think it's an excuse, but now that I think about it, maybe someone deliberately played tricks and deliberately wanted me to die..."

Xue Fei speculated: "Let you have a car accident to test whether you have the ability to recover. Seeing that you recover at an extremely fast speed, it is convenient to confirm that the inner alchemy is in your body. Then the next step, the plantain essence will squeeze you dry , take away the inner alchemy in your body."

Qi Ming said: "But that thing has melted like cotton candy, I can't spit it out."

"So, as I said, the plantain essence will squeeze you dry, otherwise, just open your guts and get the pill." Xue Fei said: "Anyway, I'm just guessing, I'm not an expert, your family has connections, you can find someone who knows how to do it." .”

"By the way, let me tell you something. Zhang Keran's roommate was parasitized by a goblin, and he disappeared. The mother of the roommate is looking for prey to feed her son. It involves human life. I want someone to get rid of this goblin. Can you Think of a way?"

After Qi Ming's silence for a long time, Xue Fei asked worriedly, "Can't you?"

"...I'm digesting the information in your words..." Qi Ming said, "Who is Zhang Keran? Who is his roommate? How did he become a genius? Why do you want to look for prey?"

Xue Fei had no choice but to start from the beginning, explaining the cause and effect, and said: "By the way, I highly speculate that the plantain essence is also there, because he took away Lu Chao's diary, and I think he will make a fuss about it. That The goblins that parasitize Lu Chao look like they are in the hatching stage, they need space to build their nests, and they need nutrition, so their combat effectiveness should be very low. You find someone to go there and catch them all."

"That's great, but do you know where?"

"Just find Lu Chao's mother." Xue Fei smiled and said, "Don't forget, I have a magic weapon." Then, he got up and took out the compass, and couldn't laugh anymore, because he was thinking of finding Lu Chao at this moment. Mother, the compass did not move.

In other words, Lu Chao's mother should no longer be alive.

He had tried to find Lu Chao before, but to no avail.

Qi Ming didn't know, "That's great."

"Uh...it's actually not very good." Xue Fei said in a stiff voice, "Lv Chao's mother seems...dead."

"what?"

Xue Fei looked out the window, the night was pitch black, "Things are getting weirder..."

-

The next day.

Because of Jiao Tianmo's "abduction" that day, Zhang Keran ran to his grandfather's house, but after returning home, he couldn't find the key to the library locker. He couldn't find it anywhere, so it was left here.

So taking advantage of the lunch break, he ran all the way to find the key.

He is now wearing the amulet Xue Fei gave him. According to Xue Fei, this amulet has a miraculous effect on the plantain essence, so he feels more at ease.

As soon as he entered the alley, there were grandpas and aunts basking in the sun smiling at him, "Keran, why did you just come back, your little girlfriend has been waiting for you, so infatuated."

girlfriend?Zhang Keran looked at the door of his house, and saw a long-haired girl standing in front of the house wearing dirty clothes that seemed to be picked up from a garbage dump.

The girl seemed to be about the same age as him, but her appearance was much worse. She was very beautiful and glistened in the sun.

"Zhang Keran?" Before he could speak, the girl spoke first, but her voice was not feminine at all, more like a boy.

"I'm... who are you?"

"I...I...who am I?" The girl looked at him blankly, "I don't know...do you know? I only remember these alleys, this address...and the name Zhang Keran, do you know me? "

Zhang Keran walked over and looked at her carefully, or it should be him.

From a distance, with long hair and a pretty face, she looked like a girl, but when she looked closely, she knew that this was him, not her.

Although the bones are slender, they are still stronger than girls, and the flatness of the Adam's apple and the parts near the heart proves that it is a boy.

Zhang Keran shook his head, he had never seen this face before, "I don't know it."

"But it's strange, but I remember..." He suddenly saw the textbook Zhang Keran was holding in his hand, and suddenly became interested, grabbed it and looked through it, "...and this one, I feel very familiar and like it."

Zhang Keran took the textbook back, "I'm sorry, if you need it, I'll take you to the police station." During the fight, he touched the opponent's hand, but the opponent didn't respond in any discomfort.

Zhang Keran thought to himself, it doesn't look like a monster, but just a psychopath.

"No, I won't go to the police station..." He looked at Zhang Keran, and suddenly murmured, "I... seem to have kissed you..."

Zhang Keran glared at him, "I'm sick! If you don't leave, I'll call the police!"
