C1 Opening Lightning Strike!

Shen Ann was walking alone in a dark corridor.

It was dark and quiet, making him think of the back mountain of his own courtyard when he was young.

He would often think of what was hidden in the back mountain, but he never dared to check it out himself.

Because the mountain was really f * cking dark. He was really scared.

This unique memory left a deep shadow on him, so much so that he was a little afraid of the dark now.

And with every step he took, there would be a shallow sound of water, as if he was stepping on the water.

He stepped on it with force. The unique touch and the thick echo told him that it was not water, but soil full of fragrance.

So what the hell was this place?

Why was he here?

Shen Ann continued to walk forward carefully with doubt.

In front of him was a boundless darkness, completely black without any light.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard a bird's cry coming from the distance.

It sounded like the cry of a bird.

In the darkness, Shen Ann relied on his hearing to search for the location of the bird.

If only he could catch it, it would be even better because he was a little hungry.

His fear of the unknown had gradually been replaced by hunger. If he continued to starve, he would be able to tear a ghost into pieces.

The appearance of the bird was a bit abrupt, and it even made the atmosphere a bit scary.

Unfortunately, this was not a horror novel.

Shen Ann could feel the bird getting closer and closer to him.

Hmm?

Feeling the general direction of the bird, he subconsciously covered his vitals with his hands.

It seemed that it was a female bird.

While he was in a daze, a ray of light broke through the surrounding darkness.

Light represented hope.

Shen Ann's expression brightened, and the weak light in his eyes gradually became brighter.

The bird also slowly became clear.

It was just an ordinary bird, about the size of a sparrow.

It flapped its wings vigorously. Shen Ann looked at it, rubbed his stomach, and tried his best to recall the steps of drilling wood to make fire.

But very quickly, he realized that everything that appeared in this kind of strange place was strange.

Because this bird did not have any feet.

It was a legless bird.

The legless bird circled around Shen Ann. It flapped its wings, as if it was guiding him in the right direction.

Shen Ann looked at it, followed it, and walked towards the lights.

Finally, the dark world disappeared.

In front of Shen Ann was a door that was ajar.

He hesitated.

The Feetless Bird had already flown in and abandoned him, leaving him to think in silence.

Was it heaven?

Or hell?

Shen Ann pursed his lips, took a step forward, and pushed open the door.

The moment he pushed the door open, the thick smell of blood made him cover his nose.

He saw a tree outside the door. Under the tree, there were countless birds' dead bodies. He could vaguely see that they were also birds without feet.

The bird with no legs that was guiding him was flying around the tree at the moment.

Was this really not the way to develop a horror novel?

Shen Ann looked at the tree, the strange corpses on the ground, and the footless bird.

He hesitated, and stood in front of the door with a solemn expression. He did not take a step forward to cross the threshold.

Under the blinding light, one could tell that Shen Ann was a rather handsome young man. He was probably around 24 or 25 years old.

Although his face was a little pale, at least he had a nose and two eyes.

He was wearing a white suit, but the strange thing was that the suit was torn at his abdomen and chest, as if it was a mark left by a sharp weapon, with red blood.

Under the light, the dense blood quickly dried up. In just a few seconds, it had become a pattern that seemed to have been printed on his clothes.

As expected, anything that appeared in such a strange place was strange.

Including Shen Ann himself.

The Feetless Bird was still circling around the tree, flying tirelessly.

Shen Ann stood in front of the door without moving an inch.

Soon, the light became more and more dazzling, and he had to subconsciously close his eyes.

Everything around him seemed to have changed.

The wind was a bit noisy, but it was gentle.

It was as gentle as the touch of a mother, lightly brushing his face.

He enjoyed it a little bit, and even refused to open his eyes.

Although he didn't know who his mother was.

Was it a dream?

He muttered and reluctantly opened his eyes.

The familiar modern buildings appeared before his eyes one by one as if nothing had changed.

It was just that these buildings did not seem to be commercial buildings.

Looking at them carefully, they seemed to be the floors of a school.

He got used to the light until everything in front of him became extremely clear.

He was sure that these were the buildings of the school.

He was in school?

Before he could get an answer to his question, the scene in front of him stunned him again.

A person with his back facing him.

From the outline of her back, Shen Ann was sure that it was a girl.

The main reason was that her dress was fluttering in the wind, which was too obvious.

Her long hair and skirt were fluttering in the wind, like leaves swaying in the wind.

The leaves would fall.

She was also planning to fall.

"Hello..."

Shen Ann moved closer and was about to ask, but the moment he said that, the girl lowered her head, tiptoed slightly, and jumped down without hesitation.

She did not hesitate at all.

Everything happened so quickly that Shen Ann did not have time to think about it.

"Damn!"

Shen Ann's body went numb.

If you have something to say, then just say it. At most, I'll ask someone else. It's not like that, it's really not like that.

He only realized it now. This place should be the rooftop of a certain building in the school. No wonder the wind was so noisy.

This girl did not come here to get some fresh air. She came here to jump off a building!

The instinct of the body was faster than the brain's reaction.

The moment the girl was about to jump, his body immediately rushed towards her.

He didn't know where his explosive power and physical strength came from, but he was actually able to grab the girl's hand in time!

The expected free-flowing like leaves did not happen.

The girl slowly opened her eyes and looked at Shen Ann, who was struggling to pull her along, with a hint of astonishment on her face.

"Do you want to die as well?"

Almost subconsciously, Shen Ann blurted it out the moment the girl opened her eyes.

Thus, the astonishment on the girl's face became even more obvious.

She looked at Shen Ann with deep doubt in her eyes.

Was it the same?

"Pah! What I mean is how easy it is to die and how hard it is to live on."

Shen Ann's tensed expression quickly turned into a smile, "A person must be brave enough to challenge himself, right?"

"What is there to be worried about? Why don't we go somewhere else, drink some tea, and have a good chat?"

"I happen to be a bit hungry right now. I'll treat you to afternoon tea. I know a place where the fork-roasted buns are very delicious."

Shen Ann did not know what he was talking about.

At this moment, there was only one thought on his mind: "I can't let her jump down the cliff."

It was a very strange thought, but it just happened naturally.

The girl seemed to not have heard these nonsensical words.

She was muttering softly, repeating what Shen Ann had said at the beginning.

"You... Do you also want... to die?"

Right now, Shen Ann was about to die.

His body was extremely weak right now, and he did not have much strength left to support his body. He would not be able to hold on for long.

In order to hold her, almost half of his body was lying on the edge of the roof, tightly holding onto the edge of the roof.

He gritted his teeth: "Can you come up first and talk about it? The wind here is so strong, I can't hear what you're saying."

The girl was extremely beautiful, delicate and elegant, the type that Shen Ann liked very much.

Perhaps it was because of her beauty that he was so determined.

He mocked himself in his heart.

Even though it was a cliché scene of a hero saving a damsel in distress, it could always close the distance between the two of them.

The girl raised her head and revealed a smile. Her beautiful dimples were easily intoxicating.

Shen Ann was even more reluctant to see her die.

"You... Do you need me?"

The girl's smile was filled with bitterness. She was smiling, but Shen Ann did not feel happy.

He squinted his eyes. No one was more familiar with this kind of smile than him.

He had to save her!

Thus, he replied without hesitation, "Yes, I need you."

"You need me. What?"

The girl asked again.

All of a sudden, Shen Ann couldn't find an exact reason.

"I... I need you to pay the bill. No, it's boring for me to go alone and I don't have any money with me. I owe you first, okay?"

When the girl heard this, her expression became even more stunned.

Shen Ann could not hold it in any longer.

He panted, his face turning paler and paler, "Can you come up first? This way of chatting is tiring for both of us."

The girl suddenly pulled him with all her might.

Shen Ann heaved a sigh of relief. Did he just save a life?

Just as he was about to pull the girl up...

However, the girl did not seem to have any intention to follow him.

She looked at the blood stains on Shen Ann's suit and the broken hole on it, closed her eyes and sank deeper into the water.

Shen Ann:????

Buy one, get one for free?

"Hey, if you have something to say, just calm down... I..."

Shen Ann was unable to finish his sentence. He did not even have the strength to speak.

Under the girl's continuous guidance, he could actually give up.

As long as he chose to let go of her, he would be safe and sound. He could even watch the whole process of a man's body being broken and blood blooming.

He had done everything that he should and could do.

There was no need for him to risk his own life for it.

However, he didn't choose to let go.

Or it could be said that in his mind, he had never given up on this option.

Shen Ann exerted more strength, even letting go of the hand that was protecting him, trying to use the last bit of strength to pull her up.

But his body was too weak, so weak that he could not even try his best to pull her up.

Finally, he was pulled down as well.

The two shadows flashed across the window. They fell slowly along the reflection of the light in the gentle wind.

Looking carefully, the two shadows seemed to be hugging each other.

If it wasn't a living person, it should be a beautiful scene.

Boom!

A loud sound attracted everyone's attention.
