Chereads / The Rise of the Blood Mosquito / Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Things Change, People Change...

Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Things Change, People Change...

After getting off the car, Ye Tongyu hurried towards the nearby Media University.

After all, it was late at night, and the surroundings were pitch black. A single girl would understandably feel scared.

Jia Yan didn't do anything cheesy like escorting a beauty.

Even if he wanted to, as a mere mosquito, what help could he offer against bad people? Was he supposed to fly over and bite them, risking his life?

So when he saw Ye Tongyu heading towards the campus gate, Jia Yan also slightly dodged and flew off in another direction!

It was just a chance encounter, and Jia Yan never thought there would be another opportunity to meet. He didn't harbor any delusions about this beauty. Now that he was an insect, admiring human beauties was fine, but pursuing them sincerely wasn't feasible...

As for Ye Tongyu, she wasn't even aware of the existence of such a mosquito. Why would she think about meeting again?

But Jia Yan didn't expect that he would have some entanglements with this girl in the future!

Of course, that was all in the future.

For now, Jia Yan was slowly flying in the air.

The streets here already left a deep impression on him from his past life.

The more he flew, the more buildings and shops from his memories he encountered!

Even at this late hour, many shops were still open. Jia Yan saw a street food stall in an alley and smiled. That was the place where his dormitory buddies said they found delicious food and invited them to eat.

There were many memories like this.

During his two years of university life, Jia Yan left too many memories in this city.

Jia Yan flew on, absorbing the changes brought by the purple potion not only in his body's size but also in his strength and stamina. Now, Jia Yan could fly for a long time continuously.

He wondered how those buddies were doing...

Thinking of these memories naturally made Jia Yan miss his dormitory mates from university.

He flew towards his university.

Separated by a street block from Ye Tongyu's Media University, about three kilometers away, was the "Shanghu Engineering and Technology University" where Jia Yan had studied in his past life.

With such a long distance, Jia Yan relied on the body of a mosquito to slowly fly there.

In this big city, there generally weren't any large predators or natural enemies.

Even the smaller ones, like dragonflies, seemed no longer a significant threat to Jia Yan now.

And he didn't encounter any along the way!

So although he was a bit tired from flying, he safely reached the gate of Shanghu Engineering and Technology University...

If you started counting from that small pond, the journey was over two thousand kilometers. As a mosquito, Jia Yan finally returned to his alma mater, a place where he had left so many memories during his human life.

When he saw the familiar scene of the school gate, Jia Yan's mosquito body trembled!

The gate was still the same, and so was the guardhouse.

Everything, compared to a month before he left, seemed unchanged.

The only difference was that he was back now, while others hadn't changed, only he had!

Things changed, and it was him who became "non-existent."

Jia Yan felt extremely uncomfortable as he buzzed his wings and flew into the campus.

Shanghu Engineering and Technology University was a relatively well-known second-tier university in Shanghu City, focusing more on cultivating practical talents. Therefore, the students graduating from here every year were highly competitive.

Although computer science majors were common nowadays, the computer science talents produced by this university were still highly sought after in the workplace.

And Jia Yan, who originally had such a bright future, was now dead. He could no longer graduate from here...

The school, past eleven o'clock, was already sparsely populated, with dim lighting.

Only some couples secretly dating were strolling around the campus, and some boys preparing to sneak out for internet access were sneakily planning their escape, trying to climb over the walls.

When Jia Yan passed by these clumsy boys, he couldn't help but smile sympathetically. Although he was relatively introverted during his school days, there was a time when he sneaked out with seniors or roommates to play online games in internet cafes. Although he didn't particularly enjoy those games even until now, the atmosphere remained memorable.

Because the university's landscaping was well done, Jia Yan saw some flying figures in the air!

There were even bats among these figures!

Bats were definitely mosquitoes' archenemies, especially at night!

Jia Yan quickly avoided that area and flew towards his dormitory.

He didn't come back for anything special; he just wanted to see his dormitory mates.

Fortunately, there were plenty of prey for bats at night, so after deliberately avoiding the bats, Jia Yan finally arrived quietly in front of a building.

The buildings at Shanghu Engineering and Technology University were relatively new, and the dormitory in front of Jia Yan was also mostly new, with a pure white exterior, giving a fresh and comfortable feeling.

"Why didn't I find our dormitory so good-looking before? Is it that people only appreciate the beauty of things after losing them?" Jia Yan looked at the dormitory building and flew along the outer wall.

Flying from the outside and looking at the scenes of the dormitory he had grown tired of before gave him a different flavor.

Soon, Jia Yan flew to the height of the third floor.

In front of him were the windows of the dormitory rooms.

"This should be 305, and this one is 306. Then this one... 307!" Jia Yan controlled himself not to get too excited and quietly flew towards the window of room 307.

"What's going on?!" Suddenly, he was stunned.

The window of room 307 was closed.

But that didn't stop Jia Yan from seeing the scene inside through the bright glass!

Inside the dormitory, a pile of miscellaneous items was placed there, including some waste wooden boards, bedding, and even various books and teaching materials.

"What's going on! What happened to our 307 dormitory?!" Jia Yan looked around at the windows one by one in bewilderment!

Some students were still awake in these dormitories. Since the dormitory had a power outage, they continued to watch movies or play games using their laptop batteries.

Familiar faces one after another!

Jia Yan flew quickly and finally saw two students in a dorm room, excitedly playing online games with wireless network cards...

"Xiao Zheng, Da Gong!" Seeing these two, Jia Yan finally felt a ripple in his heart.

These two were his dormitory mates, and Da Gong was even his upper bunk. This guy played online games all day long. Jia Yan remembered he had asked this guy more than once not to crawl around late at night, disturbing his sleep!

"Isn't this room 302? What are they doing here?" Jia Yan was very puzzled.

This doubt only flashed for a moment. Jia Yan's heart shook, suddenly understanding the reason...

It must be because he was dead, and killed by someone. So the school abandoned that dormitory, and the roommates inside all moved to other dormitories.

Jia Yan smiled bitterly in his heart and glanced at the two former roommates playing games happily in the dormitory.

"These two are so happy. Perhaps my

 death doesn't matter to them at all. After all, I was the most unsociable one in the dormitory..."

As for the whereabouts of the remaining roommate, Jia Yan didn't have the intention to look for him anymore. Since the dormitories in his memory no longer existed, what was the use of finding these people?

All Jia Yan had left in his heart were the beautiful memories of this dormitory, these roommates, and this place.

Memories were just memories after all, and reality was that these roommates had left the place full of memories. They would slowly forget him!

With a painful flutter of his wings, Jia Yan flew out of the campus towards the outside...

With this, I have no more attachment. Farewell, my campus!

What he didn't know was that when he flew out of the university gate disheartened, in room 302, a student helplessly yelled, "Can't you two let people sleep! Just playing, playing, playing! Every night you play so late!"

"What's it to you whether we play or not!" Da Gong moved his mouse away and looked at this new roommate. "Can we sleep if we don't play? Close your eyes and it's Jia Yan's face! He was beaten to death, you think we can sleep!" Da Gong clenched his fists, making cracking sounds.

Jia Yan didn't see or hear the small disputes in the dormitory. Perhaps if he had witnessed that scene, he might have had a little more sentimentality towards the school...

But he didn't see that scene!

So, as he flew past that area...

Jia Yan forcibly sealed away the memories of the campus and his two years of campus life into the depths of his memory.

"Let those beautiful and youthful memories remain deep like fairy tales."

Jia Yan flew on.

"Well, since there's no more attachment to the campus, it's time to start planning my revenge..."
