On the day after the college entrance examination, I picked up a snake in the mountains.
It was not a docile little green snake like the one in the pet shop. It was a big black snake that was completely black and covered in wounds. It was hunted down by the Tao clan and the demon clan together. The moment she collapsed from human to snake form in front of me, I thought I was hallucinating.
But I didn't. The two teeth marks on the tiger's mouth are still painful.
I stuffed her into a wine can and escaped being searched by two groups of people. That night I bandaged him, but she bit me, thinking that after this incident, it would have nothing to do with me anymore.
It was only on the first day of school that I realized what it meant to be unable to clear both ends.
The young professor standing on the podium was cold and dignified. His lesson plans were written more neatly than anyone else, and he kept just the right distance from the students below. Everyone said that Teacher Shen was not easy to get close to, like a pool of ice water that could not be melted.
Only I know she isn't.
She is the snake.
She recognized me too. In the first class, when roll call came and the word "Lin Lu" was read, she glanced at me and was stunned for a moment. It was only for a second, but I saw it.
She didn't acknowledge me, and I didn't mention it either. We just pretended to be strangers tacitly, like two parallel lines running separately in the same classroom.
Until people started missing on campus.
All the remaining demonic energy at the scene was directed at her. A wanted order was issued again, this time for all three realms of human beings and monsters, and even the school was no longer safe.
The whole world said she did it.
I don't believe it.
The snake I know can hurt, scare, and bite people, but it can't kill.
Now I want to prove it. As an ordinary human college student, talk to me
Together with the snake demon professor, they pulled the real murderer out of the darkness.
By the way, she is sleeping on the bay window of my dormitory now.
Shh, don't tell the dormitory.
