Chapter 1 Secret Realm(1/2)
Jiangnan area, Jiangning Prefecture, Jiangning South Station.
In the waiting hall.
Today is not a holiday, but it is still crowded here.
Passengers either stand or sit, talking to each other, and from time to time, electronic sounds of train ticket checks sounded.
"Ah, I'm sorry."
As soon as He You walked into the bathroom, he accidentally ran into a strange passenger wearing a black baseball cap. He subconsciously took a step back and spoke.
However, the other party just glanced at him coldly, said nothing, and quickly followed the few companions in front of him who were dressed in similar styles.
"The eyes are so fierce..."
He You was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but think.
Then, his ears moved slightly, and he heard the men and women wearing black baseball caps whispering:
"...Hurry, don't waste time, you need to check your tickets..."
"The spiritual reaction is getting clearer and clearer, and the secret realm is about to be opened, so we are cheering up."
"Yes, senior brother."
...
The passengers spoke very little. In such a noisy environment, outsiders could not hear clearly, but He You could not hear a word.
“…is you talking about what game content?”
He You was a little confused, but he didn't care too much. He pulled his backpack on his body and walked into the bathroom.
After solving the physiological problems, He You came to the sink and washed his hands while looking up at himself in the mirror.
Name: He You
Age: 18 years old
Medium-sized and pretty...unusual, well, maybe a little bit about handsomeness, but it's limited.
Currently studying at Jiangning University and is in his freshman year. This is the summer vacation and I have to take the train home.
However, compared to the joy of other students, He You's face in the mirror was full of fatigue.
“It’s so noisy…”
He sighed softly, and He You muttered in a voice that only he could hear.
Of course, this is because there is really a lot of noise in the station and it keeps buzzing, but the more important reason is that He You's ears are not good.
Yes, his ears have been bad since childhood.
The "bad" here does not mean hearing impairment. On the contrary, He You's hearing is far beyond ordinary people.
This is specifically reflected in that he can easily hear every conversation in a noisy environment, and hear sounds from a distance that ordinary people cannot capture...
Well, if this is at most just a sharp hearing, then another ability is very fantastic:
He can understand the language of other life besides human beings.
For example, the meaning of the chirping expression of birds, and the whispers of flowers and plants on the roadside.
It is not actually accurate to say that it is "language".
After all, those animals and plants with low intelligence cannot communicate too complicatedly, and they can only understand the vague meanings of their expressions.
At first, He You thought it was his own illusion or auditory hallucination.
I also went to many hospitals for treatment, but I was surprised that I could not find any abnormalities.
In the end, he finally confirmed that this was probably a special feature.
Well, it sounds like this is a good thing, but it is not.
For example, because of his good hearing, He You was always disturbed by various noises when he was a child and could not sleep and suffered from insomnia all night.
Sitting in the classroom, the mixed sounds were like magical sounds, making him unable to concentrate...
This time it almost drove him crazy.
Fortunately, as he got older, he gradually mastered some methods to "block" sounds.
In other words, a self-defense ability evolved from his body can isolate most of the sounds and become background sounds, and only selectively retain some special information.
Everyone actually has similar abilities.
For example, when shopping in a shopping mall, people will automatically ignore the voices of strangers talking, but if someone mentions their names, they will immediately capture...
It's a similar principle, but He You is more powerful...
This is not easy. He You worked hard for many years before gradually mastering it, and learned how to read and study in the noise and live a normal life.
But this can only be alleviated and cannot be completely eliminated.
Therefore, he particularly dislikes any noisy environment.
Oh, by the way, this ability has a side effect.
That is, every full moon night, he could always hear some noisy noise coming from the universe.
It is unresolvable, incomprehensible, and in a mess, just like many people chattering in his ears one after another, but it is completely different from the sounds made by other lives.
And there is no way to block it in any way, so I can only stare at my eyes and force it over.
He You has never had any guesses.
For example, from the scientific side, he once fantasized that it might be other civilizations in the universe chatting, bragging, spanking, and scolding...
On the fantasy side, maybe there is really the so-called heavenly court, the fairy world, and the sounds come from the nagging and complaining of the immortals...
Anyway, it's all unfounded guesses.
If an astronomical enthusiast had this ability, he would probably be very excited, but He You only felt noisy.
Even a person with a strong curiosity will be annoyed if he listens for nineteen years, right?
…………
"Wow—"
He moved his hands away, and the automatically sensed water flow stopped. He You wiped it with a tissue and then walked out of the bathroom.
Standing in the waiting hall, I glanced at the ticket gate, and there was already a long queue.
Seeing the time, the tickets were checked immediately. He You hurriedly cheered up and walked into the team.
Then he lowered his head, took out his phone and browsed his Weibo, and his expression gradually became focused.
It's not calm on Weibo.
Especially recently, some very fantasy news has frequently appeared.
It seems like a hiker suddenly disappeared and walked out of the deep mountains a few days later, but he couldn't remember where he went in the past few days.
It was like a driver who drove drunk and drove into the river, but no matter what, the wreckage could be found.
For example, some time ago, there was a big fuss. A certain passenger plane suddenly lost the signal during the flight and disappeared. All countries tried hard to find nothing...
Something like this.
He You thought it was a coincidence at first, or the editor wrote it randomly for traffic, but with the increase of similar incidents, he gradually felt something was wrong.
Something seems to have changed quietly in this world.
"People, please note that ticket checking will begin soon, there will be a ride..."
Suddenly, the radio in the waiting room rang, and the people in front of He You also began to walk forward. He hurriedly put away his cell phone and walked forward with his ticket.
For the sake of lightness, he only carried a backpack, stuffed it with a set of clothes, and did not carry a suitcase.
"Hey, they're the same train?"
Suddenly, He You noticed that the previous few passengers wearing black baseball caps were also mixed in the queue, and there were about five or six people, and they should be together.
But this is not surprising. He You didn't think much about it, checked the ticket honestly, followed the crowd into the station, and then got into the carriage according to the ticket.
"Hello, this is my seat."
When he arrived at his seat, He You found that a girl who had just gotten into the car was sitting in her seat first.
It looks... black and straight, petite, wearing a blue disposable mask on his face, covering his face and making his eyes look big.
"Ah?" The girl was stunned, looked down at the ticket again, stood up, and said apologizing:
"Sorry, I misread the seat number."
"It doesn't matter."
He You smiled gently, his teeth white:
"I'll take the box down for you."
As he said that, he looked up at the luggage rack - when he entered the station, he remembered that the girl was carrying a 26-inch suitcase, pink and particularly conspicuous.
To be continued...
