Chapter 85: The calm before the storm

Hoàng Tuân remained silent.
He did not deny it...
Because, as they said, Hoàng Tuân did not need to interfere in Hồng Mạnh's affairs.
In the end, from another perspective, Hồng Mạnh was already a dead person.
"I don't know what kind of person you were before being pulled into this world..."
Looking at Hồng Mạnh lying on the hospital bed.
Such a question appeared inexplicably in Hoàng Tuân's mind.
He didn't stay in the medical room but left this place with Lê Na...
The authenticity in the doctor's words.
Hoàng Tuân didn't need to doubt too much.
Because, during the conversation, Hoàng Tuân's eyes occasionally glanced at the content presented in his novel.
Many places were accurate.
For example, those who were assimilated could not be reversed; they had immersed themselves in the imaginary world of women.
Except for the weird transformation of women.
There were also many other bizarre elements in this world.
Similar to goldfish in the pond behind the garden, the portraits on the school hallway, the bizarre creatures that could bring people into a two-dimensional space on the rooftop, and the creepy insects sealed in black jars...
It was just different from the "Trần Hưng Đạo High School" before.
These bizarre elements were currently strictly oppressed by the rules of women, making it fundamentally difficult to take any action.
In the black jar with a label "finger" found in the principal's office, Hoàng Tuân also found a strange-looking bug after opening it.
It was similar to the parasitic insects on his body.
Only, this strange worm seemed to be dead, lying motionless in the jar...
Finally, Hoàng Tuân and Lê Na parted ways on the lower floor of the dormitory.
Knowing the answer, there was no need for them to intervene in this matter, so they didn't have to run around looking for information clues.
Obediently living the pre-arranged life.
Everything proceeded as normal, waiting until February...
Because he returned to the dormitory so late, he was sure to be scolded by the dormitory manager.
So, Hoàng Tuân just used the tongue of the bugs on his body to swing himself back to his dormitory floor like Spider-Man.
Silently returning to bed.
The bedroom was very quiet.
Basically, only the sound of students' snores could be heard...
Hoàng Tuân lay on the bed.
When he read the last line of the novel frame, he closed it and prepared to go to sleep.
About Nguyễn Hà Trang.
He guessed that it was also because of the way these people raised the bizarre creatures.
Thinking about Nguyễn Hà Trang, who spoke a few words to him before, she suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Honestly.
There was still a bit of uncomfortable emotion in his heart...
But there was no other way.
If he wanted to leave this world, following the path of those people was truly the right way.
As they said.
Death in the horror world.
It was inevitable and could only be accepted...
Just get used to it.
Although Hoàng Tuân could use the ability to change the novel's script to reverse some plots.
For example, waking up those who were assimilated directly, or making those bizarre entities stronger to resist women, or eliminating the assimilation ability of women.
But the number of changes he could make was still too few...
Without original text support, he wanted to change these things. Even if he used all the words, he could only change at most one of them.
This was also equivalent to...
He couldn't wish for things beyond his ability...
And after today's conversation.
Hoàng Tuân always felt like he had missed something important, and everything was not as simple as it seemed.
But he couldn't remember anything.
To prevent unintentional incidents.
He could only retain a certain amount of words...
In the silence of the night.
Hoàng Tuân gradually sank into sleep on his own bed...
...
...
What happened afterward was not too surprising.
The school doctor and two security guards were working separately, as if they knew nothing about yesterday's events.
Both Hồng Mạnh and Hồ Thanh Đoan didn't come to school.
The teachers explained.
It was because they had something to attend to at home...
Occasionally, Lê Na would come to talk to Hoàng Tuân. Apart from occasionally discussing this world, most of the time, they talked about stories in the parallel time of the two of them.
It wasn't much different from what Hoàng Tuân had guessed before.
In Lê Na's parallel time...
Thanh Linh did not disappear from his life but got involved in the horror story with him in that time.
Both found the conclusion in the story and continued to survive.
Lê Na also met Hoàng Tuân in some scenario.
Because Hoàng Tuân accidentally saved her, she had a good impression of him.
And when she heard Hoàng Tuân say that "Lê Na" in his parallel time was just an innocent and weak girl.
Her whole body felt unbelievable.
How could she be like that...
The theme of missing students at Trần Hưng Đạo High School was still spreading.
But every time it was suppressed by the school, in various ways.
Time passed quickly.
Approaching a peaceful period.
In the blink of an eye, National Day arrived...
After school, it was still raining heavily.
Hoàng Lan was also waiting for Hoàng Tuân downstairs.
Both took a taxi home.
The entire process was not much different from the previous time.
Just, Hoàng Lan didn't mention Hoàng Tuân being bullied anymore, and after returning home, his mother didn't show any coldness...
"We're back!"
Hoàng Lan opened the living room door.
She shouted happily as she did before when coming home.
The house was arranged in an old modern style.
After opening the door, the first thing he saw was a warm fireplace in the living room.
A rusty smoke pipe extended from the kitchen and protruded out of the window, along which smoke wafted out.
There was a pot of simmering beans on the fire, making a sizzling sound.
Behind the sliding kitchen door, a figure in a dark woolen sweater was standing, chopping bones on the cutting board with a kitchen knife in hand...
A calligraphy painting with the words "Everything Goes Well" was hanging on the wall, with slightly bright colors.
The TV opposite the sofa was an old large TV that he hadn't seen in reality for a long time, and an old martial arts movie was still playing on the small screen...
Surprisingly, this time after Hoàng Lan finished speaking.
The mother responded to her.
"Clean up and get ready to eat. It's raining heavily outside; did you get wet?"
The familiar voice of his mother echoed in Hoàng Tuân's ears.
She put down the busy tasks in her hands, poked her head out, and glanced at the two siblings.
Although there were no traces of wetness on the two of them.
But she still said.
"Go take a shower, don't catch a cold."
Like most mothers, Hoàng Tuân felt both strange and familiar.
Perhaps Hoàng Lan already knew that Hoàng Tuân had prepared a birthday gift for her.
She happily put down the stack of things in her hands.
Taking a step forward, she ran into the bathroom to take a shower.
Hoàng Tuân didn't look around the house like the previous time.
He just sat silently on the sofa.
Watching his mother's busy figure in the kitchen...
The scent of the food filled the air.
The mother's back gradually became blurry with the rising steam from the pot, somewhat obscuring it.
The woman turned into a bizarre entity.
It was his mother.
This woman who was busily cooking in the kitchen, preparing something delicious for him...
In the rising steam.
Hoàng Tuân felt as if he couldn't see the reality of his mother very clearly.
"This warm world."
"All created by her imagination...
