On a stone road with few pedestrians, a handsome young man with short purple hair, pale face, and a pair of evil purple eyes stopped Marilyn. A lustful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked Marilyn up and down.
Lotus's whole body.
Marilyn's face was pale, her eyes were full of fear, and she involuntarily took two steps back, but she bumped into something.
Marilyn was like a frightened obedient rabbit. She trembled suddenly and turned around, only to see that the person behind her who was hit by her was Ling Yun who was catching up!
Marilyn raised her chin slightly, looking at Ling Yun's face that still lacked emotion with a look of shock.
Ling Yun, on the other hand, faced the unscrupulous and vicious gaze of the purple-haired young man opposite him with a fearless expression.
Looking at Ling Yun's clear and indifferent eyes, although the object of Ling Yun's gaze was not her, Marilyn still felt extremely peaceful in her heart. The fear, uneasiness and helplessness in her heart just now were gone!
She had never felt like this before, as if she was full of security when she was around Ling Yun. Marilyn just stared at Ling Yun blankly, but a warm smile appeared on her face unknowingly.
Seeing his prey thrown into the arms of others, and knowing at a glance that it was a new "lower class", the purple-haired young man's face couldn't help but change!
Not to mention that, when Marilyn showed that warm smile on her face, the purple-haired young man's complexion turned livid!
"Humph! Marilyn, you are so cruel!" The purple-haired young man left an incomprehensible word in a harsh voice, then turned around and left quickly.
But when he left, he gritted his teeth and muttered: "Damn, if I had known, I would have brought someone with me..."
Marilyn didn't notice the departure of the purple-haired young man at all. Her big watery eyes were still staring at Ling Yun, and her head was full of Ling Yun's figure magnified countless times.
Just when Marilyn's eyes were shining, a dull voice suddenly interrupted her fantasy.
"Hey! Where are you going to take me?" Ling Yun tilted his neck and asked with a weird look on his face.
"Ah?...Ah!" Being interrupted by Ling Yun, Marilyn came back to her senses and suddenly realized something. The first thing she did was to widen her eyes and look around nervously, looking for something.
"That guy has left!" Ling Yun seemed to know what Marilyn was looking for, curling his lips and said.
"Gone?" Marilyn asked in surprise, as if she couldn't believe it.
"Don't you know how to read it yourself?" Ling Yun said nonchalantly.
Marilyn looked back and forth again, and after confirming that the purple-haired young man was indeed gone, she breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest gently.
Suddenly, Marilyn thought of something again and turned to look at Ling Yun. Unexpectedly, she met Ling Yun's two ordinary eyes.
A blush suddenly appeared on her face. Marilyn quickly turned her head and pressed her hands on her chest involuntarily, as if she wanted to stop her heart from beating like a deer.
"Hey, hey! Where are we going?" Seeing Marilyn's strange behavior, Ling Yun couldn't help leaving two black lines on his forehead and asked helplessly.
"Ah...that...you should have just followed me anyway! Why are you asking me this? Huh!" Marilyn was stunned for a moment, then turned around and yelled at Ling Yun with an angry look on her face.
Then, ignoring Ling Yun who was covering his ears, he turned and left.
Ling Yun had no choice but to rub his ears again. This was already the second time in a day. God knows how many times this kind of thing will happen in the future. Ling Yun couldn't help but start to complain about Anna in his heart...
"Ling Yun, in the next few days, I will arrange for you to live here and designate a person to be responsible for your life. As for what you want, that person will tell you. In short, you must listen to that person's arrangements for everything..."
Thinking of what Anna said to him on the road, Ling Yun couldn't help but sigh bitterly, looked at Marilyn who was almost disappearing, shook his head, and quickly chased after her helplessly.
Later, Marilyn took Ling Yun to find her boss and got a collecting job like hers, and the pay was quite generous.
However, there was an episode. When the boss asked Marilyn what the name of Ling Yun beside her was, Marilyn realized that she had been so patronizing and angry along the way that she even forgot to ask Ling Yun's name. In the end, Ling Yun took the initiative.
After introducing herself, Marilyn was allowed to step off the stage, but after that, the boss looked at Marilyn with something wrong. There was an indescribable smile in it.
In this way, Ling Yun and Marilyn started their first day of work, and Marilyn, the old man, thought that he would take Ling Yun to get familiar with his new job.
For Ling Yun, a college student who has not yet graduated, it is also a novel thing to be able to experience the feeling of self-reliance first.
This collection work is neither difficult nor simple. It is easy because you only need to collect some rare plants and some delicious wild vegetables. It is difficult because the collection location is a misty forest!
With Marilyn leading the way, Ling Yun was surprised to find that he was already in the misty forest after passing through a transparent light curtain. Seeing Ling Yun's dull look, Marilyn felt very proud and woke up the dull Ling Yun.
, and then the collection work began.
During the collection process, Ling Yun learned many things that he didn't know before while chatting with Marilyn.
First of all, the town where Ling Yun lives now is called the "City of Mist" by them! Legend has it that this town was not what it is now. After being baptized by a war, it shrank to what it is today. It is said that the "City of Mist"
"At its peak, it could be compared to any large city in the world, but even though the "City of Mists" has become what it is today, it still has a population of hundreds of thousands.
Furthermore, there is a group of purple-haired and purple-eyed people living in the center of the "Misty City". It is said that they are the original residents of this "Misty City", and later they had no choice but to migrate to many outsiders like Marilyn.
Tribe people, at first, those people with purple hair and purple eyes looked down upon these outsiders and treated them like animals.
And those outsiders who were relocated were originally forced, and after being treated unfairly, the conflicts between the original residents and the outsiders were intensified and were about to break out.
A group of people in cloaks suddenly appeared in the town and stopped the conflict between the two parties. After punishing some purple-haired tribesmen in public, they personally issued a decree that outsiders and original residents would be treated equally.
Strangely enough, since then, the treatment of outsiders has improved a lot, and there is no longer any case of outsiders being oppressed.
Therefore, all outsiders were full of deep respect for those who promulgated that decree. It was precisely because of those people that outsiders like Marilyn could live a happy life again.
Hearing this, Ling Yun knew that the people Marilyn was talking about were Anna and the others, but Ling Yun knew that Anna also had purple hair and purple eyes, and Leah in the photo also had purple hair and purple eyes. Thinking of the appearance of the second elder, Ling Yun couldn't help but feel
A cloud of suspicion arose!
Maybe if there is a chance to see Anna or such an old man in the future, he must ask carefully, Ling Yun couldn't help but think.
Unknowingly, Ling Yun and Marilyn had been collecting all morning. Although Ling Yun didn't know that time passed so quickly. After all, in the misty forest, Ling Yun still couldn't tell the passage of time. However, Ling Yun also had his own way.
It’s the growl of my own stomach!
Fortunately, there is a veteran like Marilyn. With her own experience, she has already completed her workload and also helped Ling Yun complete the day's work.
After passing through a patch of grass, Marilyn and Ling Yun returned to the "City of Mist".
After delivering the collected plants to the boss, she took Ling Yun back to their residence, had a quick bite to eat, and then Marilyn returned to her room impatiently.
"Marilyn, is our work done for today?" Looking at Marilyn, who seemed to have no intention of going out again, Ling Yun looked very confused and couldn't help but ask.
"Of course! Today's work has been completed, and the remaining time belongs to you. Is there anything wrong?" Marilyn returned to the door of the room and said strangely.
"Then what are we going to do this afternoon? Just stay like this?" Ling Yun asked with a confused look on his face.
"It's up to you, you can do whatever you want, no one cares about you anyway!" Marilyn said impatiently, and then closed the door with a bang.
However, before Ling Yun could recover, the door was suddenly opened, and Marilyn stretched out her head and said seriously: "Remember, if you go out for a walk, you must not go to the center of the town.
People like us are not welcome!" After saying that, he slammed the door again, as if he was in a hurry to do something.
Ling Yun stared blankly at the closed door, exhaled suddenly, and then walked out of the house by himself, only to find that the neighbors seemed to have disappeared and the surroundings became extremely quiet.
Standing at the door, looking left and right, Ling Yun chose a direction and walked out.
With nothing to do, Ling Yun could only go out for a walk. When he came to this strange environment, he wanted to get more familiar with it.
Along the way, while Ling Yun carefully memorized the route back, he found that this town was very strange. Why did everyone seem to disappear in the afternoon?
As he walked, Ling Yun discovered one thing. This town was larger than he thought. Perhaps this legendary "city of fog" was really a huge city in the past!
I don’t know how long I walked, but Ling Yun found that the surrounding buildings had obviously changed. If the style of the previous buildings was that of a hundred flowers blooming, then the buildings in front of Ling Yun now were completely unified, and every building was full of classical mystery.
The smell makes people’s eyes light up!
Although the style of each building is unified, the feeling brought to Ling Yun by each building is completely different. In this way, Ling Yun walked and looked at it as if he was fascinated, and did not remember Marilyn at all.
advice.
It wasn't until Ling Yun came to a large square that Ling Yun came back to his senses. Remembering Marilyn's previous instructions, Ling Yun guessed that this might be the residence of the aborigines.
Not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble, Ling Yun decided to leave here as soon as possible, but just as he was about to turn around, the corners of his eyes could not help but glance at the many tall statues in the center of the square.
In an instant, Ling Yun's whole body felt as if he was being electrocuted. He stood there, staring at a statue that seemed to be of a recent age, his eyes filled with surprise and tears!
