we are just monsters

Chapter 17 Why is it a bit cold

In the digital age, when you press the remote control, colorful programs will appear on the TV.

With a click of the mouse, all kinds of information come one after another.

More magical than so-called magic.

"Talent is the real miracle."

Gu Cheng turned on Baicheng TV with emotion, the noon news was broadcasting to the end, and the host was talking about trivial matters.

Fifty years ago, he would never have imagined that 50 years later, there would be a mobile phone that could watch beautiful women dance, and he would put it in his pocket and take it out to watch at any time.

300 years ago, he never imagined that human beings would one day climb to the moon and bring back some soil.

800 years ago, no one knew that there would be airplanes flying in the sky, nights as bright as day, and buildings over [-] meters high in the future.

2000 years ago, everyone was hungry, and when the lights were dark at night, they slept with their wives or with their men. Men and women were in disarray. Thinking about it now, they are idle.

The so-called monsters are also a bunch of bumpkins. If they don’t study hard, they will be abandoned by the times sooner or later. Everyone has gone to the moon and set off to space.

Chen Hua has done a good job, and now he has learned how to chat with his little sister on the Internet, and has piled up private messages. Somehow, Zhao Hong discovered it, and it was another mess.

"Hey old Gu, you've been alone all this time. Is it because women are in trouble?" Chen Hua spotted Gu Cheng who was standing by the next wall watching the fun, and he suddenly realized that Gu Cheng was simply a wise man.

Judging from his experience of being married for more than 100 years, not getting married can save at least 80.00% of the troubles.

Gu Cheng saw that there was no excitement to watch, so he turned and left, ignoring Chen Hua. Lilith never came back, which gave him a bad premonition.

"Why hasn't the witch cat come?" Seeing that it was getting dark, Xia Xiaoman still didn't see the black cat, so he couldn't help but suspect that Gu Cheng had screwed up.

Gu Cheng poured a cup of tea very calmly, sat on the sofa and opened the book, with a look of knowing, slowly said: "Don't worry, I will be back."

"What if you don't come back?"

"Will do."

After reading until 10:30 in the evening, Xia Xiaoman boredly poked around in the TV, trying to figure out which posture to climb out of was more terrifying. Gu Cheng finally closed the book, glanced out the window, washed up and went to sleep.

"She..." Xia Xiaoman wanted to follow in and say something.

Bang!
She was locked out.

"I don't think she will come back." Xia Xiaoman said lying on the doorway, she could actually go in, but considering the bamboo strips Gu Cheng was holding, she just forgot.

I didn't offer incense to her today, it must be bad, I let the witch go, Xia Xiaoman turned around and glanced at the small incense burner in the corner, and knocked on the door twice.

"You didn't offer incense to me."

No sound.

"You're not going to die, are you? I went in to see if you died suddenly on the bed."

Xia Xiaoman quietly wanted to sneak in, and found a very legitimate reason for himself. Although this guy is immortal, what if he dies suddenly?
Having said that, perhaps because he has lived for so many years, considering the uncertainty of his lifespan, he may be at the last moment of his lifespan at any time, and he is more likely to die suddenly than ordinary people, which is reasonable.

"Are you okay, don't scare me, I really went in!"

After giving the last notice, Xia Xiaoman lowered his head and wanted to go in.

creak.

The door opened, Gu Cheng pushed her head and took two steps, turned on the light and went to the side to light a stick of incense.

"What do you want to do?" Xia Xiaoman looked warily at the bamboo stick in his hand.

"Not only can I touch ghosts, but I can also hit ghosts with things, do you know?" Gu Cheng asked.

"I know!"

Xia Xiaoman went to the TV, and he didn't seem to be struggling at all.

The weekend passed by in a flash, and the next day was Monday. Gu Cheng washed up and went out, and then pushed on the battery car to go to school.

Xia Xiaoman wisely didn't mention Lilith, just sat in the back seat, wrapped his hands around his waist without touching him, and continued to test the bottom line frantically.

"Old Gu! Give me a piece..."

When Chen Hua saw Gu Cheng's battery car at the alley, he immediately wanted to come over, "I'm going to be transferred this week!"

Gu Cheng squeezed the brake, and did not look at the angry Xia Xiaoman, and waited for Chen Hua to sit in the back seat and twisted the handle again.

"Where's your car?"

"I forgot to charge it yesterday. This thing is good everywhere, but it is a bit troublesome. It needs to be charged frequently. It would be nice if the battery car can be refueled anytime."

"...Why don't you buy a motorcycle?"

"It's not safe. If something happens, I won't die, but if someone sees my ribs knocked out, vomiting blood and running home with a cart, it will have a bad impact." Chen Hua really thought about it.

"You can also wait for the ambulance to pull away."

Neither of them has a driver's license. If they have a driver's license, they still need to buy a car, and they need to register it, and they have to deal with it when they leave in the future.

The last time they moved, there was nothing extra except for a backpack. The monster moved very simply, throw away what should be thrown away, and throw away what should be kept, and start over in another place.

"Hiss... You said it's almost June, why is it still a little cold in the morning?"

Chen Hua shrunk his neck, feeling a bit chilly on the back of his neck.

Baicheng has four distinct seasons, and the weather is hot now, and the streets are full of short-sleeves. Chen Hua wears a safety helmet, and everyone leaves it in the company storage box after get off work. He still wears it home, as stable as an old dog, as a security guard It's a joy to dawdle.

"I don't feel cold." Gu Cheng said.

"I feel like someone is blowing air behind me." Chen Hua touched his neck and patted it twice.

"Maybe a hallucination."

Gu Cheng stopped in front of the traffic light and looked back, Xia Xiaoman was floating faintly behind.

"What's on my face..."

Chen Hua stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, as if thinking of something terrible, glanced left and right twice, and stood up stiffly.

"Sit down?" Gu Cheng asked him.

"I, I, I have something else to do, let's go first."

"Don't talk about it, it's the 21st century, believe in science." Gu Cheng said to his back, wondering if Chen Hua heard it.

Satisfied, Xia Xiaoman sat back on the battery car again, pointed to the back: "Is that Lilith?"

"Don't look around, you'll scare them away." Chen Hua was not in the back seat, so Gu Cheng had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and pretend to send a message, speaking in a low voice.

"She's following us?"

"I'm not you."

Gu Cheng had just spotted the dark shadow hidden in the greenery in the distance. Seeing the green light turn on, he twisted the handle and followed the crowd across the road.

There was a black cat far behind, trying to keep up, but was picked up by someone.

"What are you wandering on the main road, go to Mimi over there."

"..."

Lilith's cat legs wobbled a few times in the air, looking up at this hateful human.

It wasn't until she was moved to the sidewalk that she was put down, and looking into the distance, Gu Cheng had long since disappeared.
