Because he spent some time in the classroom after school, it was almost dark when Chen Wen got home, and the time had already reached 18:30.
Walking into the house with his schoolbag, he saw his father standing at the door wearing a coat. Seeing his son coming back, Chen's father immediately complained to Chen Wen: "Why did you come back so late today? How could you put me and your mother together?"
Worrying is bad!”
Sure enough, as soon as her son came back, besides Chen's father, who was sitting on the sofa, Chen's mother also hurriedly stood up and asked: "Yes, Wenwen, why did you come back so late today? I was urging your father to go to school to find you.
Woolen cloth."
Faced with his parents' concerns and questions, Chen Wen felt warm in his heart. He scratched his head in embarrassment at first, and then explained to his parents with the excuse he had already thought of: "Ah, parents, you don't know, there is someone in our class today.
A classmate slipped and fell down the stairs in the teaching building and injured his leg. In the end, the class teacher selected a few students to send them to the hospital. Unfortunately, one of them was me, and I happened to not have a mobile phone, so... haha.
"
"So that's what happened. Hey, none of these students now make their parents worry. It seems that your mother and I will buy you a mobile phone in a while, so that you can contact us easily if you need anything."
"Okay, Dad Wenwen, it'll be great if your son comes back. I agree with you about the mobile phone. By the way, Wenwen, the food has been left for you. I'll go to the kitchen to heat it up for you."
………
An hour later, after eating and washing up, Chen Wen returned to his bedroom, closed the door, walked to the computer desk, turned on the computer, and logged in to QQ immediately.
Yes, among the eight students whose desks had numbers appearing in the afternoon, Hu Yawei and Meng Fei had both added QQ friends to each other. Since Chen Wen did not have a mobile phone, he wanted to contact the two of them through QQ and ask each other.
How is the situation?
Log in to QQ and open the friends interface. Chen Wen first found the column marked 'Classmates and Friends', clicked on it, and the avatars of several friends were displayed below the friends column. For convenience, Chen Wen also noted the nicknames of the other parties.
became his real name in reality, and there were only three people in the classmate friend column, namely Tian Dahu, Hu Yawei and Meng Fei.
Looking closely, he saw that Tian Dahu and Hu Yawei's profile pictures were currently on and displayed online, while Meng Fei's profile picture was black and white and displayed offline.
Chen Wen knew that Tian Dahu was not in danger tonight, because there were no numbers on the other party's desk in the afternoon, so he did not contact Tian Dahu. After hesitating for a moment, he clicked on Hu Yawei's QQ avatar and entered the chat interface.
Next, Chen Wen typed a few words and sent them to the other party.
Is Hu Yawei here?
After sending the message, I waited for about a minute before the other party finally sent a reply. Hu Yawei: Are you Chen Wen?
The two then started a typed conversation via QQ.
Chen Wen: Well, I am Chen Wen. We added each other as friends when we met at the Internet cafe last semester. Have you forgotten?
Hu Yawei: Remember.
Chen Wen: How is the situation over there?
Hu Yawei: I am currently alone in the bedroom. My parents are watching TV in the living room, but I am very scared now. Chen Wen, I, what should I do?
Seeing this line of reply from Hu Yawei, in front of the computer, Chen Wen could clearly feel the other party's fear. Yes, as analyzed in the classroom before, Hu Yawei was extremely afraid, afraid that he would disappear in the middle of the night and disappear like those missing classmates earlier.
.
Because he could understand the other party's mood, Chen Wen did not reply to Hu Yawei immediately. Instead, he sat in front of the computer and fell into deep thought, and did not move for a long time.
It wasn't until Hu Yawei sent the message that the window was shaking three times in a row that he came back to his senses. At this moment, looking at the few lines of call information from the other party in the chat interface, Chen Wen lowered his head and typed a line of words on the keyboard:
Chen Wen: I just thought about it for a long time, and I always feel that the time before dawn is the most dangerous. You must remember not to sleep tonight. I also suggest that you tell your parents about the class incident and the dangerous encounter you are about to face, and then let them accompany you.
You spend tonight.
When Chen Wen sent this message, unexpectedly, the other party quickly replied: In fact, I did just what you said. I have already drank several cups of coffee, and I will tell my parents about this as soon as I get home.
I said it, but...but I am old
My parents didn't believe it at all. Not only did they not believe it, they also scolded me and told me not to mess around. They said there was no such thing in the world. They also said that they both had to work early the next day. How could they stay up all night with me? In the end, they just decided to stay up all night.
Sent me into the bedroom.
After reading Hu Yawei’s message, without waiting for Chen Wen’s reply, a few words appeared in the chat interface immediately afterwards:
I'm so scared now!
Seeing this, Chen Wen frowned. In fact, he had vaguely expected this result before. After all, who would believe the rumor that there is a locust? Let's not talk about the locust, which seems to be a fantasy to ordinary people.
What's more, Hu Ya's parents have to work early tomorrow.
It was impossible for them to stay up all night just because Hu Yawei said something that sounded like nonsense to them. As for Hu Yawei, who is now a high school student, even if he wanted to sleep with his parents because of fear, it was still impossible, so he was
Rush back to his personal bedroom.
The above results were expected by Chen Wen.
The night gradually deepened, and the cool breeze gradually began to blow. Unknowingly, the time had reached 22 o'clock at night. In the bedroom, just when Chen Wen was about to send a comforting message, he received a QQ notification from the chat interface:
The other party is no longer online. Any messages will be automatically saved in the chat history.
(Huh? What's going on?)
Unexpectedly, Hu Yawei went offline without any warning?
We were having a good chat just now, what happened?
Although Chen Wen didn't know the specific reason, as he stared at the computer and his friend's profile picture, which had now been turned into black and white, for some reason, an unknown premonition arose from the bottom of his heart.
………
Time, 22:15 late at night, tonight, there is no moon.
The screen moved to Building 4, Yilan Community, Zhenping City.
In the bedroom of a certain house...
Looking out the window at the night, listening to the deathly silence around him, Hu Yawei, who was in the bedroom in the darkness, could be said to be flustered and panicked to the extreme.
Yes, as early as 15 minutes ago, when the time just reached 22 o'clock, the building where he lived had a power outage. Similarly, due to the sudden power outage, all the computer lights in the bedroom were extinguished in an instant, and just like Chen
Hu Yawei, who was chatting on Wenqq, was instantly plunged into darkness, so dark that he couldn't even see his fingers.
Hu Yawei was so frightened that he screamed and quickly stood up and trembled toward the bedroom door. After all, his parents were still watching TV in the living room before the power outage. He was scared to be alone and wanted to stay with his parents.
Then, Hu Yawei found his parents in the living room, and then found a candle amidst the noise of the family. As the candle was lit, the candlelight illuminated the living room. However, it was already very late, and Hu Yawei's parents were too lazy to care about the power outage.
After that, he planned to go back to the bedroom to sleep and rest. When he saw his parents planning to go back to the room, Hu Yawei was frightened to death! He quickly begged his parents that they should not go to bed but stay with him in the living room.
The result can be imagined. As mentioned earlier, in the face of Hu Yawei's pleading, how could the parents who had to get up early to work tomorrow stay up all night because of their son's nonsense? Sure enough, the furious father reprimanded Hu Yawei on the spot.
, his mother comforted Hu Yawei with kind words, saying that there were no worms in the world and advised him to go back to his room and sleep early.
In the end, Hu Yawei stopped talking and walked back to his personal bedroom holding two candles with a disappointed look on his face.
………
In the bedroom, Hu Yawei was currently sitting motionless on the computer chair. He was stunned for a long time. He looked away from the window and then looked to his side, looking at the candle standing in front of the computer desk. Because the candlelight was weak, his field of vision was barely visible.
See your surroundings clearly.
There was silence all around, and outside the window, it was dark and moonless.
It seems silent, it seems silent, but if you zoom in and observe Hu Yawei up close, you will see...
Under the candlelight, at this moment, Hu Yawei's entire face was already pale...
