Chapter 10 Qin Yuan
Xiao Xiao took out the black notebook from the drawer. He was the only one in the dormitory at this time.

The black cover has a peculiar texture, like gold, jade, and ancient sandalwood, with a touch of heavy and old charm. There are faint repetitive and strange patterns on it, with a slight silver glow, and a hint of blood seeping out of the silver, which seems to foreshadow something ominous.

Xiao Xiao stroked the cover for a while.

The slightly cool touch calmed his somewhat disordered heartbeat.

Xiao Xiao slowly opened his notebook. The mullet was bright red in color, and its body was agile. There seemed to be a faint "clucking" sound, and its innocent and tender tone made people feel cold for no reason.

And its overly cunning eyes can't help but make people feel uneasy.

Um? This is?

When Xiao Xiao turned to the second page of the ear mouse, he was stunned.

Compared to the bright colors of the minnow, the ear mouse seems to be covered with a layer of dust, dull and lifeless, like a crude and old painting.

What's going on? Last time I saw it, the ear mouse was as lifelike as the mullet, with bright red cinnabar that seemed to flow on the paper.

But now, the minnow remains the same, but the ear mouse has undergone such changes.

Could it be... that it was because the ear mouse suddenly appeared in front of him that night?

Although there is no definite evidence, Xiao Xiao feels that this guess is almost correct.

“I wonder if it will recover?”

"How long will it take to recover?"

Xiao Xiao touched the ear mouse on the paper with his fingers and muttered to himself.

That night, the appearance of the ear mouse undoubtedly saved his life. He was naturally very grateful, so he didn't want his savior to be hurt.

But why does it appear?

Why save him?

Why does this make the pattern darker?

……

There are many questions, and Xiao Xiao also has some guesses.

However, everything still needs to be verified.

……

Xiao Xiao was distracted for a while, then turned to the third page with some caution.

The yellowed paper was blank, but Xiao Xiao was not disappointed and continued to stare at it intently.

There seemed to be a strange wave in the air, flashing by, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.

Out!
Xiao Xiao's eyes widened, and golden light emerged from the depths of his pupils.

Vermilion has seeped onto the yellowed paper, as if it was outlined with a plain brush, with the strokes sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and the shades are just right.

Soon, the "bee" of that night appeared on the paper that was originally empty.

Those familiar scarlet round pupils seemed to be surging with blood, emitting a decayed and greasy sweet fragrance, filled with overflowing malice and death, which immediately pulled him back to the memory of that night.

Not a very pleasant memory.

Xiao Xiao quickly came to his senses and shook his head. It was indeed an unpleasant monster.

The name of the monster also emerged, and the ancient and strange lines outlined a strange atmosphere.

"Qin Yuan." Xiao Xiao whispered the monster's name.

"Well, this name sounds much more noble than minnow, ear mouse and the like." Xiao Xiao touched his chin.

However, "What a waste!" Xiao Xiao came to the conclusion very concisely, "Such a good name is wasted!"

Xiao Xiao still remembered the suffocating stench. As he himself was a bit of a germaphobe, he naturally would not have a good impression of such a monster with a "strong body odor".

What's more, he almost died from the monster's sharp tail needle.

Oh, yes, there was also the scream that made him feel so "like death". There was really no shining point on this monster from head to toe!

However, it is indeed a headache to have such a monster on the enemy side. What if it is on your side?
Xiao Xiao smiled with some ill intention.

Now, there are only three kinds of monsters in the black notebook.

mullet, ear mouse and chinyuan.

I wonder what the abilities of the minnow are?
How about trying it near water next time?

Also, since the mullet is a monster, it is naturally different from ordinary fish. Maybe it can survive on land?
……

A battle between monsters ended silently.

Xiao Xiao suddenly thought that maybe in many places, even if no one saw them, there were many fights between monsters happening.

For some reason, Xiao Xiao became a little excited.

He had never realized so clearly that the world in his eyes had undergone tremendous changes. A more magnificent and grand world was opening its arms to him, lifting its mysterious veil and allowing him to explore it.

This is a world of humans and monsters.

And he is so lucky to be able to walk between two worlds.

Even if it takes some courage.

Because danger is everywhere, isn't it?
……

After a few days, no similar incidents occurred in the grove, and the previous victims could not explain their experiences. Therefore, the case, which was called the "Little Grove Incident" on the campus network, was left unresolved and sealed in the file bag.

Fortunately, the girl who was most seriously injured was out of danger after rescue.

After this incident had been a hot topic for a while, it was naturally forgotten because there were no new victims and the grove once again became a dating destination for couples.

……

"Third brother, there's a social gathering this Friday night!"

"Huh? Social gathering?" Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise. Which girls' dormitory did the boss finally "connect" with successfully?

"Actually, the girls in the grove last time wanted to thank us and treated all of us in the dormitory to a meal." Zhao Luzheng explained very straightforwardly.

"Oh my, what's the matter? This is an opportunity, an opportunity!" Zhuge Yun first waved his hand in high spirits, and then smiled with a bit of vulgarity, "The girls in that dormitory are still good-looking."

"Hehe." The boss smiled at Zhuge Yun with some agreement.

"By the way, Third Brother, the girl you fell in love with before is here too."

"It's fate, Third Brother."

Even the youngest one started making eyes at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows, he naturally knew who they were talking about.

To be honest, he was also surprised when he saw the girl that day. It turned out to be the girl who had seen the ear mouse.

I have to say, there is no coincidence in the world.

Xiao Xiao felt quite emotional.

I wonder if that girl ever saw the ear mouse again?
……

On Friday night, after a lot of trouble in the dormitory, everyone was finally dressed up and ready to go for the appointment.

Zhuge Yun even sprayed perfume, but was laughed at by the boss who always prided himself on being a real man.

When they arrived at the meeting place, the boys were shocked to find that the girls were already there.

Oops, they arrived later than the girls! What a bad start!
"Sorry, we are late." The eldest brother actively admitted his mistake and tried his best to save his impression points.

"No, you are still early."

“We arrived earlier.”

"After all, how can we let our savior wait?"

The girls smiled sweetly and were charming and pretty.
