In the bedroom at midnight, Zhou Zheng shouted and opened his eyes. His forehead was covered with cold sweat and his face was a little pale.
Had a nightmare.
The story in the dream was quite absurd. He met a seductive female demon and said that he wanted to help her practice. Without any explanation, she pushed him down on the bed.
As soon as the scene changed, a little lolita with a sword broke into the dream, beat the female demon away twice, and then came up to her with a smile, calling sweetly "Husband, husband"...
Huh? What is this at hand?
Zhou Zheng groped in the darkness and soon discovered that what he touched was a strand of soft and long hair.
He sat up with a start, his eyes filled with shock.
A soft cushion was laid out beside the bed in the bedroom. The girl slept with her clothes on, smacking her lips while hugging the quilt, turned over and continued to sleep.
Zhou Zheng glanced at his neat pajamas, tried to recall, and made sure that he had not committed any illegal or criminal behavior, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Through the bright moonlight that filtered through the gap in the curtains, Zhou Zheng looked at her profile.
What a beautiful little fairy.
Zhou Zheng took away his pillow and left the bedroom quietly.
The living room was already in a mess.
Snack bags and drink cans are scattered on the carpet in front of the sofa. The breathing light of the game console is still on, and there are a few cards that Zhou Zheng has played and cleared a long time ago.
The image of this little girl holding the game controller in the middle of the night comes to mind, and she was annoyed and laughed at times...
'This is just a child.'
Zhou Zheng shook his head and smiled.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. He had already made up his mind to ask for her family's contact information so that he could get in touch with her and ensure that it would not be a crime for her family to call the police.
But as soon as Ao Ying's eyes filled with mist, the thoughts in Zhou Zheng's heart naturally melted away.
After all, she saved herself.
Otherwise, where I am now is most likely the latest scene of a serial murder case.
Walking to the computer, Zhou Zheng opened the "Ghost Talk" websites that he had seen before. After browsing for more than ten minutes, he became more and more awake.
I originally thought this information was a bit ridiculous, but now the more I think about it, the more I feel...
The taste is right.
what is going on?
Zhou Zheng, who had received examination education for more than ten years, suddenly discovered that he knew nothing about this era of disaster.
I looked at the time, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Although Ao Ying has repeatedly said that she can sense the auras of various spirits, it will definitely be no problem if she is here;
But when Zhou Zheng thought of that banshee, he still felt a little scared in his heart.
Moreover, how to deal with Ao Ying's matter?
Zhou Zheng was thinking and browsing the web unconsciously.
Didi didi!
A pop-up window popped up at the bottom right of the screen. It was a friend request sent by the real-name authentication chat software. The other party's avatar was a husky emoticon.
Zhou Zheng thought it was an online scam and directly refused.
Within half a minute, a temporary chat dialog box popped up with a picture in it.
The picture is a bit sloppy, with a cloud of pink smoke inside, a stick figure, and a small golden carp in front of the stick figure.
Another line of text popped up in the temporary chat box:
'Boy, if you don't want to get into trouble, hurry up and become friends with us.'
The corner of Zhou Zheng's mouth twitched a few times, but he did not refuse this time. After clicking Agree, the other party directly sent a voice application.
After hesitating for about three seconds, Zhou Zheng put on the headphones, moved the mouse and clicked on the word "Connect".
There was a strange gurgling sound coming from the headphones.
Then came a lazy man's voice:
"Zhou Zheng, right? You don't need to know who I am. My existence is a secret. You can call me instructor or Lord Xiaoyue. I will be responsible for guarding Longchen City.
"I have sent people to hunt down the banshee that attacked you today.
"She is a ferret spirit who forcibly improves her cultivation by absorbing men's essences. She has practiced the Tao for three hundred years and is good at evasion and concealment.
"We found her trace relatively late. When you called the police, she had already escaped from the city's outer formation and helped us find some loopholes.
"Well, but you don't have to worry too much. I have arranged for someone to guard you to prevent this kind of problem from happening again."
The voice on the other side paused slightly.
Although Zhou Zheng didn't know what to say, he still said: "Thank you."
Lord Xiaoyue smiled at the other end of the voice and went directly to the topic:
"Zhou Zheng, do you know who the little aunt in your bedroom is?"
Zhou Zheng replied calmly: "The Ao family of the East China Sea, if we follow the records of myths and legends, it should be the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas. What are the dragons in Journey to the West called Ao?"
——Ao Ying previously said that she was a god, and also mentioned Journey to the West.
"Hey, your guess is pretty accurate.
"It's beyond my expectation that you can still be so calm at this moment. No wonder...cough."
The person on the other side was covering something up with a dry cough.
Zhou Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "If the facts happen in front of you, you can only try to understand and accept them. You can never deceive yourself."
"Many people in the world deceive themselves, and they are often pitiful and hateful."
Lord Xiaoyue said in an old-fashioned way, but his voice still sounded a little immature:
"I can't reveal too much to you. After all, you are just a mortal. It's okay to live and die in this comfort zone and be confused for the rest of your life. It is our duty to protect you.
"But one thing is that Ao Ying is the reincarnation of the little princess of the Dragon Palace. In her previous life, she was a real dragon. Her name was in the immortal book and she had a title."
Zhou Zheng blinked, switched to the desktop, opened a small tool he made by himself, and a simple reading bar appeared above the dialog box.
A little hobby.
He asked seemingly casually: "Why is the dragon reincarnated as a fish?"
“Haven’t you ever heard of the saying that a fish leaps over the dragon’s gate?
"The aura of this planet has been cut off for more than two thousand years. Where did the dragon eggs come from to reincarnate her? Of course, she will be transformed into a golden carp body. She can become a real dragon by leaping through the dragon gate."
Lord Xiaoyue scolded angrily:
"You are really a weirdo, you still have the leisure to ask such a thing!
"Now it's me who has suppressed the matter for you, otherwise you would have been in trouble long ago.
"Let me tell you this, the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea is just a false name. Ao Ying is one of the only three reincarnations of the real dragon. But just looking at the current situation of this star, the power of the Dragon Palace in Blue Star cannot be underestimated.
"Let her serve you?
"Even if you become a door-to-door son-in-law, those stinky old bastards will still have to skin you! I advise you to stop having these yellow dreams and enjoy your comfort zone in peace, otherwise it will only cause trouble and cause more troubles.
."
"that……"
Zhou Zheng glanced at the reading note and had already skipped the last frame.
The video chat bar suddenly popped up next to the dialog box.
A small gray dog that looked to be only a few months old appeared in the middle of the video frame, wearing special headphones.
Xiaoyue's open mouth couldn't be closed for a while.
Through the transparent glass behind it, one can see a busy hall. Figures wearing ancient robes and suits can be seen everywhere, which is exceptionally harmonious.
Zhou Zheng conveniently took a screenshot.
The little gray dog finally reacted, jumped up and grinned:
"Woof! What did you do! Woof!"
Zhou Zheng turned on the camera next to him and stared at the little gray dog with a complicated expression.
He whispered:
"Xiaoyue...cough, sir, don't get excited, don't get excited, I'm very confused right now, and I don't know what I want to do. I'm just curious whether the person talking to me is a human being.
"It feels like being trapped in a dream, and everything around me seems unreal.
"Fairy, monster, a little talking dog."
Greyhound frowned, sat behind the keyboard and said seriously: "Call me Lord Xiaoyue!"
"Lord Xiaoyue."
Zhou Zheng replied with a smile, and then let out a long sigh, his expression indescribably dejected.
"Is the world fake?" he asked.
The little gray dog curled his lips and explained: "Of course the world is real, but there are many things you haven't been exposed to, so you don't understand."
"I always feel that the world is fake now," Zhou Zheng sighed.
The little gray dog made a helpless expression: "Don't worry, after Ao Ying leaves, if you need it, we can help you erase the memory of the past few days. You can just treat it as a fever and sleep for a long time, and you will recover soon."
Original life.”
"But Lord Xiaoyue, I feel that you should not discuss this matter with me, but should ask Ao Ying for her opinion.
"In this case, I will find an opportunity to have a good talk with Ao Ying tomorrow. - To be honest, I don't resent having her here, of course as a friend.
"Putting aside Ao Ying's issue for the moment, Lord Xiaoyue..."
Zhou Zheng spoke for a moment, and his clear eyes were like the moon reflected in a clear spring.
"Can I join you?" he asked.
The little gray dog was stunned for a moment: "What the hell?"
"I don't know what to say either."
Zhou Zheng pursed his lips, exhaled slightly, and said quickly:
"I'm just an ordinary person, and I've been trying to convince myself to accept my current life.
"I have a stable job and have a few acquaintances at work, but I always feel like I can't integrate into this environment.
“I don’t know what I will experience in the future, but if I live my life as it is now, I can see myself sitting in this apartment after retirement, watching boring TV shows, calculating my pension and what to eat for the next meal.
"I might have children, or I might just be alone in the end.
"That's actually pretty bad, isn't it?
"I don't need friends, and I don't long for a lively environment, but I want to know more about reality. I want to live more clearly. I want to know why I came to this world and my existence.
What's the point.
"Sorry, I'm a little emotional.
"But really, can I join you?"
"Ah, you suddenly said this..."
The little gray dog feels a little dizzy.
Talking about the philosophy of life with a dog!
Are you sure there's nothing wrong with this big brother's brain?
"It's not impossible. Although you don't have the qualifications to practice, we still need clerks to help process documents and so on, but you were too sudden.
"In this way, things have to be prioritized. We can talk about the rest of the matter later after seeing off this little aunt in Donghai."
"May I?"
Zhou Zheng's eyes shone brightly.
The little gray dog did not dare to agree directly.
Shouldn't you ask Uncle Forbes about this?
"Then let's do this tonight, and we'll talk tomorrow. I'll go ask for instructions from the top, and I'll try to give you an answer tomorrow.
"Remember to have a good talk with Ao Ying tomorrow. You can mention us directly to her, and she can also confirm our identity to you."
After saying that, the little gray dog skillfully tapped the keyboard with his paw and hung up the voice call.
"Eh? Why can't you turn off this camera?"
Zhou Zheng closed the widget here, and the dialog box suddenly turned black.
He leaned back on the computer chair and was stunned for a while, and then began to browse the various strange web pages and forums he had collected before, to re-identify the authenticity of these "ridiculous news".
Behind the bedroom door.
Ao Ying stood there quietly, her eyes slightly bright and her mouth slightly pursed.
She fumbled with her sleeves for a while, pulled out a pink mobile phone out of thin air, tapped the screen skillfully, and sent a message.
