Chapter 1 1. Purple Bug

Flagstaff, also known as Flagstaff, is a small town in the western United States.

Geographically, it is located in the northern part of Arizona and the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau. It is adjacent to Las Vegas to the west and the famous Grand Canyon to the east.

The United States, Arizona, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, and Las Vegas. Many Chinese have heard of these four names, but not many people know about Flagstaff City, which is surrounded by these four regions.

Half a year ago, Li Du was also one of the "not many", until he came to Qigan City to study abroad.

Flagstaff is not well-known in China, nor is it well-known in the United States, but it does have several good universities, such as Northern Arizona University and Flagstaff American College.

The school where Li Du studied abroad is called Flagstaff National College, which is only one word different from Flagstaff American College, but there is a huge difference between these words!

Flagstaff American Academy is a branch of the American Academy. It is a very good private university that provides undergraduate, junior college, and preparatory education.

What about Flagstaff National College? This is a pheasant university, and Li Du was completely tricked into coming to graduate school.

As a result, his tuition and research funds had only been paid in the first half of the year, and the school was closed down. People from the school board and the admissions department got the news in advance and ran away, leaving behind a group of international students who were forced to leave the school by the police.

Li Du was lucky, because the school dormitory was too messy, he didn't live in a dormitory in order to study quietly, but found an apartment room for rent, now at least he has a place to stay. Those of his classmates who paid the boarding fee to live in the school are now wandering on the streets.

But his situation is not much better than that of his classmates. Now it is the end of January, and his rent is due. If he does not pay the rent in time, he may have to live on the street.

Unfortunately, he has no money at this time!

Of course, he can borrow money from his parents and domestic classmates and friends, but there is a prerequisite for that, that is, he is studying abroad.

Now that the school is banned, he will definitely not be able to study as a graduate student. How can he have the face to ask his elderly parents for money? As for finding classmates and friends? Even if he wants to be strong, he doesn't want to do this.

Sitting at the door of the small building with a sad face, the pine door behind Li Du was pushed open, and a blonde girl poked her head out: "Hi, Li, are you here?"

This girl is his landlord, named Hannah Fox. The house is the legacy of her parents who died in a car accident, and belongs to her and her brother Hans Fox.

However, Hans claimed that he "has a big business to do", and he would not come to live for a few days throughout the year, and the vacant bedroom was rented out by Hannah to generate income.

Hearing the greeting, Li Du got up and said, "Oh, yes, Hannah, what's the matter?"

The girl shrugged and smiled, and a pear dimple appeared on her beautiful face: "I saw a few cans of beer when I was cleaning the refrigerator just now, they must have been left by Hans. I remember you like wort beer, why don't you drink it?"

She held half a dozen of six bottles of beer in her hand, packed in a very common wooden box with a very obvious Budweiser LOGO on it.

Seeing these beers, Li Du also smiled. There is only one small refrigerator in the apartment, and he opens and closes it every day. How can there be any beer in it?

Besides, with Hans' temper, if there was beer, he would definitely not stay. This guy is addicted to alcohol.

Based on his guess, Hannah bought the beer to comfort him. After learning that their school was closed down, Hannah had comforted him many times, which moved him very much.

However, Hannah didn't have many ways to comfort him, either giving him an inspirational book or giving him beer.

This American girl once asked him to learn about Chinese culture, and learned the saying that 'one drunk can cure a thousand worries'.

She thought that according to the Chinese character, getting drunk and sleeping would relieve worries, so she gave him beer several times.

Li Du accepted Hannah's kindness, and he owed the girl a favor.

In American society, some gifts cannot be refused, otherwise they will be misunderstood and rejected friendship. He cherishes the friendship with Hannah very much.

He took the wooden box, and Hannah left with a smile. Before leaving, she said: "There are many problems in life, but it is still beautiful."

After chanting this American slang phrase several times, Li Du opened the package to take out a can of beer.

But as soon as he opened the wooden box, an amber-like crystal suddenly fell out, and fell to the ground with a 'click'.

The crystal was about the size of his thumb, and it fell heavily on the concrete floor, with several cracks appearing on it.

The reason why he guessed it was amber was because it was light yellow in color and contained a small worm inside, which was very similar to an amber he had seen when he was in sixth grade.

At that time, their textbook had a text called "Amber". When the Chinese teacher taught them, he brought an amber.

The crystal brought back some good memories from his childhood, when his teacher said that amber with worms was precious.

It's a pity that this one has been cracked, which makes him very regretful, otherwise he might be able to exchange for two months' living expenses if he sells it.

The crystal fell badly, and it shattered when he picked it up, exposing the purple worm wrapped in it.

The shape of the small insect is similar to that of a locust. It is about two centimeters long. It has strange shape and compound eyes like a locust. However, it has only two legs under its stomach. There are strange lines on the legs and no wings on its back. It looks very clumsy.

Li Du had never seen this kind of bug before, so he raised it up strangely to see it clearly.

At this moment, a strange thing happened: Xiao Chong's claws suddenly moved, and then quickly regained its vitality, twisting its body to break free from between his fingers.

Before he could react, the little bug jumped behind his palm, its head drooping down, and slowly, bit by bit, it got into his palm!

Li Du was scared to pee, he really wanted to pee!

The resurrection of the worm in the amber is already terrifying, but it turned out to be like an alien, it got into the palm of his hand abruptly, and then turned into a tattoo-like thing...

With a scream, he stumbled into the house and shouted, "Hannah, call 911! Help, a bug has gotten into my hand!"

It is estimated that his screams were too harsh, Hannah panicked when she came out: "What? What bug?"

Li Du spread out his hand for her to see: "This is it, this worm in my palm!"

Hannah was at a loss: "The worm in your palm? How can there be a worm in your palm?"

Not only was there a bug, but the bug was still moving. After it got into Li Du's palm, it seemed unwilling to be lonely, and now it got out again, and half of its body came out.

Li Du pointed at the worm that was burrowing out, and said in horror: "This, just this, purple locust, can't you see it?"

Immediately, Hannah's expression was more frightened than his, and then the girl slowly stepped back and said, "Li, I know it's hard for you to accept that the school was closed down, but I think you are a warrior, a tough guy..."

Li Du interrupted her and shouted: "I understand what you mean, you think I'm crazy! But I'm not crazy, Hannah! It's just that I can't go to school, I won't go crazy..."

"Xue Te, this bug has come out again!"

Just when he was screaming hoarsely, Xiao Chong slowly got out of his skin and jumped to the ground, raised his upper body to support his legs, and walked on the ground like a human being.

Coincidentally, there was a drain next to where it landed, and the bug walked past it without paying attention, and fell headfirst.

Seeing this, Li Du was overjoyed and said, "Great, the bug fell into the drain."

Subconsciously, an idea appeared in his mind, that is, what is in the drain? Will there be sewage and drown the bug?

However, a scene that made him unbelievable happened!
