Among the Other Creatures Chapter 8

Jing Yun was a little stunned. No one had ever said such words to him since he was born. He didn't know why, but when he saw Jack Wei's eyes, he actually had the illusion that he and Jack Wei were of the same kind.

Compared to himself, this open-minded and brave human boy in front of him seemed like the one who truly belonged to the sky.

"I'll try." Jing Yun lowered his head, his shoulder blades bulged, and then a pair of crimson wings spread out. The monsters around him looked at him sideways. Jack Wei smiled and raised his chin, "That's right."

Jack Wei was stunned for a moment as he watched Jing Yun fly into the sky and carefully look for his own name in front of the huge light curtain together with many other winged monsters.

It turns out this is what it feels like to stand on the ground and look up at others.

So strange.

Not long after, Jingyun landed in a panic, "Our examination rooms are very close to each other, both in the Buyu Building."

Buyulou? Jack Wei leaned on the fence of the flowerbed and climbed over it skillfully. "How lucky! It's nearby."

Jing Yun hesitated for a moment, bent down and whispered "I'm sorry", then stepped over the railing guiltily. He didn't even have time to ask Jack Wei why he was so familiar with the school environment and ran after him.

Jack Wei passed through a clump of shadow trees on the right side of the main building. The leaves of the shadow trees made a rustling sound. The patrolling dandelion flower fairies saw someone breaking into the flower garden and dispersed into countless smaller ones, floating behind and following Jack Wei and the other person. Although they were warning with their mouths, their voices were sharp and thin, and sounded not intimidating at all. Instead, they sounded like they were acting coquettishly.

Jing Yun, who was following behind Jack Wei, passed through the shadow trees and saw a low wall. "Should we climb over it?"

"This is a barrier." Jack Wei stood still. "If you try to climb over it, the wall will get higher and higher. It will tire you to death."

Jing Yun first said "oh", then turned his head to look at Jack Wei a little late. Just as he opened his mouth, Jack Wei interrupted him and said, "I heard it from others, and it sounded so mysterious. But maybe it's true. I think we only have fifteen minutes, so let's not waste time."

After saying that, he pushed Jingyun in front of him and said to the wall, "Recite the barrier crossing technique silently in your mind."

"Is that all right?"

"Okay~" Jack Wei placed his hand on his back and silently recited the secret code of Buyu Tower's barrier in his mind.

Buyu Building is one of the main teaching buildings of Shanhai, and is usually where Shanhai students study. What makes it different is that it is a mobile building. If you follow the official map given below Shanhai, you can only rely on luck to find it within fifteen minutes. Only old students like Jack Wei know the barrier gate of Buyu Building.

A circular halo suddenly flashed on the white wall in front of them. Jack Wei grabbed Jing Yun's collar and pulled him in. In an instant, they arrived inside a building. Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the surrounding scenery changed in an instant.

It seems that although this human body cannot cross the barrier on its own, it can mobilize the secret language as long as there is a monster with sufficient talent to act as a medium.

He came in suddenly. Jing Yun was a little frightened and was about to speak, but Jack Wei immediately covered his mouth and shook his head slightly, signaling him not to speak. Then he pointed to a plaque in the hall, on which was written a sentence in a flamboyant style - A gentleman does not speak of strange things.

Jingyun didn't understand what he meant. At this time, a few other monsters were lucky enough to break in. As soon as they pushed open the door, one of them slapped his thigh happily, "This is it! We are too..."

Before he could finish his words, the mural in the hall suddenly changed. It seemed as if something in the wall was about to break out. After a while, the monsters in the mural broke free from the wall and walked out. They were transformed into three giant living monsters without eyes. They stomped on the ground and shocked Jingyun so much that he almost lost his balance. Jack Wei quickly grabbed his arm.

The few little monsters who had just come in saw the giant monster coming towards them, and they were scared and screaming non-stop. They were picked up by the giant monster's strong arms and thrown out of the Buyu Building.

After dealing with them, the giant monster turned around and looked around the hall with its hideous and strange face.

Jing Yun was so scared that he covered his mouth. The two big eyes under the lenses looked at Jack Wei in horror. Jack Wei shrugged and put his index finger to his mouth. After a long while, the three giant monsters walked back to the mural silently, shaking the ground with every step.

This place is so strange. Jack Wei, a chatterbox, used to be annoyed by this place. It made him feel uncomfortable all over. But after a self-study class, he was promoted to the number one mime performance artist in Shanhai.

Only someone like Yun Yongzhou who is naturally taciturn could stay there.

Oh no, it seems that Yun Yongzhou was forced to break the rules and was kicked out. Thinking of this, Jack Wei couldn't help laughing. Jing Yun saw him grinning and dazed, and waved his hand in front of him. Jack Wei came back to his senses, and gave Jing Yun sign language and lip-synced, asking him for the specific location. The two communicated with each other with great effort before they found the examination room.

When he entered the examination room, there were already quite a few people sitting inside. As soon as Jack Wei stood at the door, all eyes were focused on him, even the invigilator on the podium was looking at him.

Just watch it, no one can talk anyway.

Jack Wei walked in, pulled out a chair and sat down. He flicked his fingers on the table, crossed his legs and looked around. With a ding, the fifteen minutes were up. Many green vines extended from the invigilator's feet and climbed up to the desks of each student. A trumpet creeper bloomed on the top of the vine, and inside the flower was a rolled-up test paper. Another vine stretched out, with a pen rolled up on it.

Teacher of Jiahui College. Jack Wei took a quick look and took the test paper. The test paper looked small, but it was extremely long when opened. The questions were similar to those of the entrance examination that year, including questions on the history of demons, secret arts, and science. However, most demons were so confident of their powerful magic that they didn't bother to learn so-called science. In their eyes, this was the last trump card for human self-salvation.

Jack Wei looked at the paper in his hand and sighed. It seemed that his battle had taught the monster a lesson, and it knew to be wary of technology. Fortunately, he was good at these questions when he studied before, so it was no problem now. It was a waste of talent to ask him, a top student who had always been in the top three of the Shanhai Zhongling Ranking, to do this kind of questions.

The exam lasted two hours, but he finished it in less than an hour, and he made quite a few mistakes.

It is impossible for his human body to have an advantage in the actual competition. He has to get as many points as possible in the written test. As long as he can get into the top ten in the written test, his total score will be safe.

In order not to attract too much attention, Jack Wei sat in his seat staring at the test paper and sorting out recent events until the end of the exam.

After leaving the examination room, Jack Wei quickly went down the stairs, but he still felt vaguely that he had missed something. That feeling was very strange, like a pencil mark that had not been wiped clean.

Following this feeling, Jack Wei walked around to the back of the spiral staircase. That area was very small, with some sundries from Buyu Building piled up, and only a dim ceiling light silently filling this cramped space.

After standing quietly for a while, the frequency of my heartbeat changed subtly again.

Jack Wei suddenly remembered that this was the place where he and Yun Yongzhou were punished to face the wall. He had forced Yun Yongzhou to talk to him in the Bu Yu Building, even though he just said "shut up".

Approaching the wall, Jack Wei lowered his head and found the words he had written earlier on it.

[Are you very angry now?]

[Let's play rock-paper-scissors. How about if you lose, you can pluck feathers from the other person's wings? Although your wings look like a swan, they are pretty nice~]

[Just play with me for a while. I’m really going to be bored to death if you don’t let me talk.]

[Just wait, next time I will make you be punished with me!]

[At 3:45:17 pm in the 28th year of Xing Zhen, Jack Wei, the only son of the Alex family of Beiji Tiangui, died in Shanhai Buyu Tower. Cause of death: Yun Yongzhou, the youngest son of the Penglai Haijinwu family, refused to tell him about life, and suffocated him to death. Last wish: To punish Yun Yongzhou to live out his life in solitude, with no one to talk to him anymore, and to use his most precious things as offerings to the little Alex, and live in guilt every day.]
