NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5: Anomaly
Something is wrong, nine out of ten are wrong.
After taking a shower, Glenn looked at himself in the mirror through his wet, slightly curly hair. The color of his hair completely inherited his father's black, and his eyes were as deep as the abyss.
After exercise, the baby fat that children of the same age should have is no longer visible. His three-dimensional facial features are like his mother's, delicate with a hint of femininity, and his skin is a healthy white.
But his body is slightly thin, which makes Glenn wonder if he is malnourished.
Where is my food? Where did all the food I ate go?
As he grows older, Glenn has a better control over his body. He is very clear that he is very healthy, but there is always a weird sense of disharmony.
Glenn's emotions are not rich. He has emotional fluctuations, but only a little bit, which is much better than the abnormal lack of emotions in his previous life.
But now most of the time there is no emotional fluctuation at all. The last time I felt emotional fluctuations was at school, when a little bastard wanted to push Hermione down the stairs.
Of course, that person was knocked unconscious by Glenn with a wrench in the blind spot of the surveillance camera, and his hands were broken and thrown into the trash can.
At that moment, Glenn felt a pure desire for destruction explode in his body, and his rationality seemed to melt away.
It only took a moment for Glenn to suppress it.
This situation became more and more obvious as he got older, but Glenn had no idea.
"The throbbing of adolescence? Why didn't I have it before?"Glenn guessed.
It was very strange, very strange.
That feeling was not a simple emotional outburst, but more like a kind of... destructive energy.
Talent?
Glenn had an intuition that he needed to control his emotions to suppress this throbbing, otherwise something bad would happen.
After looking at himself in the mirror, Glenn put on his clothes and walked out of the bathroom.
Returning to the bedroom, he found Hermione waiting for him on the bed.
Hermione, wearing pink pajamas, was lying on the bed with her white and tender little feet, swaying back and forth, holding a book and reading.
Seeing Glenn come in, Hermione hurriedly climbed up and held the book in front of him
"We are going to learn this today. I just reviewed it in advance while you were taking a shower. Now I will review it with you again. If you don’t understand something, you can ask me. I should be able to answer it."
Okay, Glenn and Hermione have just been promoted to the third grade. They have almost finished learning this fifth-grade math book, and they have already finished reading all the other fifth-grade textbooks.
Glenn thinks that this is really... so right!
Hermione is very far-sighted. You can't stagnate after mastering the old knowledge. It is right to learn ahead of time and make plans for the future.
The knowledge you master is never enough.
Glenn was a fish that slipped through the net of compulsory education in his previous life. Although these elementary school textbooks are not advanced, they are still very interesting to him.
The two lay side by side on Glenn's bed. Glenn supported his head and watched Hermione's lecture seriously.
There is a reason why this child can get the first place in the exam.
The two discussed until 9 o'clock in the evening. Glenn saw Hermione began to yawn, so he took the book and closed it:"That's all for today. I'll take you back"
""Okay." Hermione wiped her eyes and smacked her lips, seeming to be a little unsatisfied.
Glenn opened the closet and took out a set of special clothes with safety buckles that could cover half of the body. This was the promax version of the safety clothes for children that he made based on the safety clothes for the zip line used to lurk in his previous life.
After putting them on, he stepped onto the bed and walked to the window. Hermione was sitting on the half-open window staring at the moon blankly.
Outside the window, you can see two steel cable ropeways, which were designed by Glenn and required workers to install specially. They can carry several tons of weight and slide through the ropeway.
The two ends are connected to the windows of Glenn and Hermione.
It is called an escape ropeway, but in fact it is just a way for the two little guys to visit each other faster.
Of course, the most important thing is that Hermione likes it.
Standing on the windowsill, installing the safety buckle on the zip line, Glenn opened his left hand to Hermione.
"Let's go."
Hermione came back to her senses, hummed, stood up and hugged Glenn tightly, hanging on him like a sloth.
After Glenn hugged Hermione tightly, he grasped the connection between the safety vest and the cableway with his right hand, exerted force on one foot, and slid out of the window quickly.
Under the night sky, the two slid out a graceful curve in the air, the breeze blew, and Hermione's fluffy hair exuded the smell of shampoo.
Pia was on Glenn's face.
Landed steadily on Hermione's windowsill.
Glenn let go of his hand, put Hermione down, watched her climb down the windowsill and slowly rolled onto the bed.
After unbuckling the safety buckle and switching to another cableway, Glenn turned to Hermione and said,"Then I'll go back, good night."
"Well, be careful, good night"
"Go to bed early, be careful not to grow tall"
"I am taller than you now." Hermione smiled at the person on the windowsill.
"……Gone."Glenn expressionlessly closed the window and slid back down the cableway.
After a while, watching the room opposite darken, Glenn turned his attention back to himself.
He turned off the lights, but did not go to sleep. He sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate, entering"inner vision".
In his previous life, he used this method to rest efficiently, and was able to carefully feel the injuries inside his body, so as to make preliminary treatments and restore his mobility.
This method can not only sense and observe the internal situation of oneself, but Glenn has developed another form after long-term use.
He divided his consciousness into two, one of which was out of his own perspective and turned to look down at himself from the air - like the second third-person perspective in the game - in this way, he can put aside distractions and observe himself in a more objective way.
This is called——"Glenn noticed something was wrong with his body and wanted to find out what was going on.
He sat on the bed like a statue, like an old monk in meditation.
His mind was clear, and he scanned his entire body efficiently.
"This strange feeling appears when I have emotional fluctuations. Normally, the feeling is... very weak, but it is definitely there.
It's like a warm current flowing slowly through my limbs and bones, which is impossible to detect unless I enter the state of introspection."
Glenn tried to mobilize his emotions, but he couldn't.
This is very embarrassing. After living for 8 years, the emotional deficiencies have been filled by family affection, but not much, and it is impossible to mobilize strong emotions.
Glenn, who has the perspective of insight, was silent, and conveyed his thoughts to the main body:"You can release the murderous intent and give it a try"
""Yes." Glenn nodded slightly, and in the inner vision state, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of bloody red light flashed in his pupils.
The air around him suddenly became stagnant, and the chirping of insects outside the window disappeared at this moment.
Everything was silent.
""Bang!"
Glenn suddenly felt like a sledgehammer was hitting him.
But it was hammering from the inside out in all directions at the same time.
His body seemed to be about to explode.
A fishy and sweet taste surged up his throat, breaking Glenn's meditation state. He resisted the urge to spit it out and swallowed it.
Glenn returned to the bed with a slightly changed look on his face.
"What is this?"
The image of himself in the perspective of the moment when he released his killing intent appeared in front of his eyes.
At that moment, a faint black invisible entity was released from his body.
It was weird and ferocious.
And... an inexplicable sense of brutality...
