Midnight Fright

  "Defenseless, with only one soul and one body, I can no longer sustain myself." Du Sulin sighed, facing the thick sea breeze.

  The long river is full of moonlight, and the night color is sparse.

  The streetlights shone dazzlingly. Two slender figures stood on the riverbank, gazing at the tranquil scene before them.

  She was taken aback for a moment, and the paper cup in her hand was inadvertently crushed a few folds. "What do you mean?" she asked, suppressing her fluctuating emotions.

  "You should have noticed, my memories are in disarray." Du Sulin still looked so calm and composed, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her. It seemed like only a soulless person wouldn't be affected. "Not only that, the Wheel of Heaven is also deteriorating, everything related to the soul is rapidly declining."

  "How could this be?" she asked incredulously after a long, winded silence.

  "It might be the rejection of the soul and zombie body. Specifically, I don't know either." Du Sulin picked up the fresh milk in her hand, still with some residual heat, and a warm current flowed through her throat, turning into a soothing warmth.

  "Isn't there a way to resolve this?" Feng said.

  "The soul training mentioned in the ancient book, I should not be able to do it. Unless I find my original soul." Du Slin paused for a moment, "Sometimes I feel that my soul is still there, but I think that may just be my temporary illusion."

  "It's impossible, your soul was born strong and had spiritual power even before you were born. When it left your body, it absorbed most of its strength. The souls are not aligned, so it's fundamentally impossible to reincarnate, so I think they should be in a place where you can't sense them." Fengfeng thought for a moment, furrowing his brow as he spoke.

  "No matter what, I'll have to go into seclusion for a while." Du Sulin sighed inwardly, "Being able to delay for a bit is still better than nothing. Just hope you can keep this secret for me and not let Qing Zhu know."

  "How could she not know about this if you want to keep it a secret?" Di Feng hastily said in response to Du Si Lin's question.

  "I'll come up with a reason to tell her about the closed door, but the real reason is for you to keep secret." Du Si Lin's tone became lighter, with his signature smile he said to Fang Feng, "Don't have such a solemn expression, it's not that serious. If you want to be sentimental, save it for after I'm gone in a hundred years!"

  Indeed, Feng's expression at this time was truly solemn, making one feel a sense of heaviness in their heart the moment they saw him, as if they had fallen to the bottom of a valley.

  "You're quite eloquent!" Fengfeng Ping shot a white glance at Du Siling.

  "I think Jing Jie seems to have some wish." Du Si Lin took a deep sip, swallowed, and his eyes lingered on Fang Feng for a moment before returning to the river.

  "I also know," Fengfeng said with a wry smile, "but I asked her and she just kept saying it was nothing. You know, when she doesn't want to say something, no matter what I do, she won't say it, and I couldn't force her either."

  Du Sulin nodded seemingly understanding: "Things she doesn't want you to know, should be things that she thinks you'll get angry or unhappy about if you find out."

  "I knew it, something that would make me angry or unhappy..." Feng Mo muttered to himself about Du Si Lin's guess, and in the end, he didn't know what he had guessed, but his face turned pale. He shook his head repeatedly and said a few words "It won't be". In the end, he ended with a long and deep sigh.

  "Instead of you two guessing and speculating, why don't you sit down and have a good talk?" Du Si Lin said with a serious tone, looking like an elderly man, "A couple should be able to discuss anything."

  "Are you... Tàiguāng Shīfù?" At this time, a female voice hesitated and stopped beside Du Siling and Fáng Fēng.

  Those eyes sized Du Siling up and down, with both hesitation and speculation.

  "What a coincidence..." Fang Feng chuckled dryly, "Zhou Ting." He thought to himself that it was really too coincidental, having just seen her brother and cousin in the afternoon.

  "Defender sister, I just didn't recognize you when you came, and now you're even more beautiful!" Chen Zhou Ting warmly took a step closer, "It seems that I haven't mistaken the person!"

  "How did you end up here?" Fengfeng and Duslin exchanged a glance, both thinking that this city was really too small.

  "School is about to start, so I came here with friends to hang out. Once school starts, the workload will be heavy and we might not have this kind of time again." Chen Zhourong smiled slightly and secretly glanced at Du Siling, who was standing beside Fang Feng, holding a bottle of milk and drinking it by himself. "By the way, last time Taitang Shifu saved me and my cousin, I haven't had a chance to thank you yet. If you don't mind, I'd like to invite you all to have some midnight snacks?" She finally found an excuse and mustered up the courage to ask Du Siling, looking into his eyes.

  "I'm just doing someone a favor, no need to thank me. As for the midnight snack, I think it's better to rain check another day, your friends are still waiting for you." Du Siling politely and tactfully declined.

  "It's okay, just consider making a few more friends, come on, let's go together!" Chen Zhou Ting seemed to have not noticed the implicit rejection in Du Si Lin's words, and pulled her sleeve as she walked. In the end, she naturally wouldn't forget Fang Feng either, "Fang Feng jie, hurry up and come!"

  Du Sulin furrowed her brow, she still wasn't good at refusing people, she thought. She took a glance at Fang Feng, and as a result, Fang Feng shrugged his shoulders and gave her a helpless look.

  Chen Zhourong is a lively and spicy girl, from the friends who play with her, it can be seen that they are subtly centered around her, but she doesn't have any coquettish or artificial behavior, which is much better than her cousin Zhou Bingqian.

  "Tingting, these two are..." The boy who spoke was only wearing a casual outfit, but his calm tone of voice gave him an air of leadership.

  "Let me introduce you, this is Tai Guang, and this is Fang Feng. They are also my good friends." Chen Zhou Ting pulled Du Si Lin to his side and introduced them.

  "Hello, Sima Feng." The man who had just spoken smiled and extended his own hand.

  "Tingting, this is what you always have on your mind..." A lively girl jumped out and smiled with deep meaning, whispering to Chen Zhou Ting. She thought that Taiguang and Fangfeng couldn't hear them. Of course, this was just her thinking.

  "Ah!" Chen Zhou Ting loudly interrupted the girl who was about to continue speaking, her face flushing red as she glanced at Du Si Lin, only to find that she didn't seem to have heard anything, and she also let out a sigh of relief. "This is Sima Lin."

  That lively girl also stretched out her hand like Sima Feng, "Hello, my name is Sima Lin, the poker-faced Sima Feng just now is my older brother." She playfully stuck out her tongue at the two of them and added a second sentence in a low voice.

  Next, one by one self-introduction, Du Sulin and Fang Feng also got to know some of them. Most of them were high school classmates, while Sima Feng was worried about his sister Sima Lin, so he followed her out to keep an eye on her.

  But Feng and Du were sharp-eyed, and they could see that Sima Feng was just using his sister Sima Lin's name to get close to Chen Zhou-ting. In terms of age, Sima Feng was actually older than Du and Feng by a considerable margin.

  "I'm sorry to have made you laugh..." A group of about seven or eight people, with the majority walking ahead, left Sima Feng alone in the middle, while Du Si Lin and Fang Feng fell behind, and Chen Zhou Ting naturally followed behind. "Normally they're not like this, it's just that this is the last holiday, so everyone wants to let loose a bit..." Chen Zhou Ting explained beside Du Si Lin, looking at the lively group ahead.

  "It's all right," replied Du Sulin, "it's normal for young people to be a bit rowdy."

  Different from the others, Du Sulin didn't know that although everyone was of similar age, she herself lacked the vitality of a young person. Perhaps it had something to do with her introverted personality. As for Fang Feng, it's even more unnecessary to mention, in her own words, a three-hundred-year-old old lady mixing into a group of twenty-something young people and going crazy, this is truly being unbecoming of an elder.

  Later, when Du Shulin heard Feng's words, she couldn't help but despise her: "You're a old woman over 300 years old and you still want the young ones to call you sister, isn't this being disrespectful to your age?"

  Of course, that's all after the fact. Chen Zouting knew Feng's real age. She also knew about Du Siling's uniqueness. Therefore, she showed great understanding for the two people who didn't fit in. However, perhaps in her heart, she thought that these two people didn't fit in, so she could quietly experience a period of time that she had never thought of before.

  "Tai Guang!" Meanwhile, Fang Feng gave a hint to Du Si Lin, subtly conveying a warning.

  Du Sulin nodded in understanding, and a flash of cold light also flickered in his eyes.

  But on the surface, they still chatted with Zhou Ting in a sporadic manner, mostly with Zhou Ting talking and Du Siling nodding or smiling at appropriate times to show she was still listening.

  "Zhou Ting ah..." Fang Feng called out unintentionally.

  "What's wrong, Fang Feng?" Chen Zhou Ting's gaze still paused on Du Si Lin for a moment before turning to Fang Feng.

  "Where are you guys going?" Fengfeng pretended he hadn't noticed anything and asked with a smile.

  "Lulu said they're going over there to have barbecue." Chen Zouting replied, then suddenly remembered something, "Taiguang, do you eat barbecue?"

  Du Sulin's mind flashed back to her childhood, when she saw an old man from Xinjiang carrying a metal frame and fanning himself while humming a Xinjiang folk song. "I can try it," she said.

  From young to old, most of the time I ate was Feng's craftsmanship. As for this barbecue, Du Siling really hasn't eaten it before. At most, he had eaten Feng's exclusive roasted fish, but... that was roasted with a microwave oven rack.

  "Yes, that's what Lele said. Eating barbecue and drinking beer is one of the greatest pleasures in life!" Chen Zouting became happy again, and his hand inadvertently grasped Du Siling's arm.

  Du Sulin wanted to struggle free, but Fang Feng remained indifferent to Du Sulin's pleading gaze.

  A sudden gust of wind swept past his ear.

  "Defend them!"

  "Ah!" Just as Chen Zhourong let out a mysterious cry, Du Siling stretched out his hand and wrapped it around Chen Zhourong's waist, pulling her to one side to dodge the black shadow that suddenly rushed in.

  A large group of people in front disappeared at the corner, making a loud noise. Feng's body also floated past with a slight movement.

  "Tingting, what's wrong? Is everything okay?" Sima Feng hurried over anxiously, grasping Chen Zhou Ting's shoulders with both hands, his face tense with concern.

  "It's... nothing." Chen Zouting blushed and forced out this sentence. Du Siling had already released her hand, but in that instant, Du Siling's chin rested on her forehead, and the clear and clean breath on his body made her dizzy. The original fright was gone in an instant.

  A pair of green, shiny eyes suddenly lit up and rushed towards Chen Zhou Ting. Du Si Lin jumped up and grabbed the hair above those green eyes, slamming it to the ground with great force.

  A low humming noise started.

  "What are they?" Sima Feng seemed much calmer, opening his arms to shield Chen Zhou-ting behind him.

  "Mind the step!"

  As Chen Zhourong let out a loud scream, she saw a black shadow rushing towards Du Siling's back at an extremely fast speed. She covered her mouth with her hand, and her heart was tense to the extreme at this moment.

  With a loud crash, Du Sulin actually grabbed the first green zombie's neck and collided heavily with the second incoming zombie.

  With a burst of strength, all that could be heard was the sound of joints dislocating. The green zombie's neck, grasped in Du Shilin's hand, twisted and turned into green ash. She took a few steps forward, using the same method to twist off the other green zombie's neck.

  "Follow me." Du Sulin walked up to Sima Ruo and said in a low voice.

  She is afraid that Fang Feng alone can't cope with it.

  The little guy is cute of course.

  After watching "Old Tab" I finally know how long, thin and beautiful Wan Qiuwen's legs are!

  The weather is dry and windy, beware of zombies gathering at night! Haha!

  Right, announcement: tomorrow I have something to attend to so there may not be an update, weakly floating away>
