The silvery moonlight, like mist, floated hazily in the air, softening everything in sight. The dark ruins seemed to have life, breathing low in the silence. A song sounded from somewhere in the distance.
The long song is as misty as a dream, both beautiful and a little scary.
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a while, and suddenly she couldn't help but shed a tear. She hurriedly stretched out her hand to wipe it, and when the back of her hand accidentally touched her beard, she suddenly woke up.
god.
Looking around, I saw Kiyokuru sitting next to her - they didn't know when they sat down or how long they had been sitting there.
In the misty white mist, his calm face was like the color of a lake under the moon. One glance at it made people involuntarily take a shallow breath for fear of disturbing him. A teardrop gently scratched Qing Jiuliu's cheek.
The stars twinkled dazzlingly under the moonlight.
Lin Sanjiu's eyes became confused again, and she turned her head blankly, looking at the darkness in the distance.
Humming in a low voice, he leisurely described a tune that he had never heard before; it seemed to follow the person's mind, and it could continue singing like this forever as long as the person's life lasted.
...Time is lost in a blur, and its meaning has been eliminated.
"I said, what on earth are you two doing?" As a piece of gravel above his head was suddenly lifted, a face that was flushed with anger stuck out. It looked a bit like
Snake: "...I've been waiting for you all night, and you guys are nothing -"
The humming sound suddenly rose slightly, and Ci Tu was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and looked up, and the flush on his face gradually subsided.
"What, what is this..." He didn't even look at the two candidates sitting on the ground, but muttered vaguely.
The melody became softer and more coquettish, as if it had a hint of something from a foreign country. The darkness in the ruins in front of me seemed to have faded because of the melodious singing, and it seemed that the things hidden in the darkness were finally revealed.
.
A half-broken steel bar hit his feet, and Citu suddenly woke up with a jolt; he looked at the two people with their backs to him, and quickly came to Qingjiu Liu who could speak in two steps: "Hey, what are you-
—”
As soon as his eyes fell on the latter's face, Citu suddenly held his breath. His voice became lower and vaguer, and finally dissipated in the air.
He stared blankly at Qingjiu for a few seconds, as if speechless due to the dazzling starlight, and slowly bent down. Together with the other two, he sat side by side on a big rock and watched infatuatedly.
Toward the darkness in the distance.
What slowly came out of the darkness, no one knew what it was, but it was so beautiful that people couldn't help crying.
...It is the colorful reflection of sunlight in the sea water. It is the lightness of wild deer leaping from the grassland. It is the transparent hope that keeps people alive in this world.
Lin Sanjiu's face had long been wet with tears. She was sobbing like a baby who had just returned to her mother's arms. She stared at the shadow coming out of the darkness without blinking; the shadow circled gently.
He walked around with them and finally stopped in front of Qingjiuru who was sitting in the middle, and slowly stretched out his hand towards him.
The moment you are touched by "her" must be supreme——
"Wake up."
A voice suddenly sounded from the depths of her mind, and Lin Sanjiu was immediately shocked. She looked at the black figure, and was a little confused for a moment; the voice just now said coolly: "...Meeting such a young man
If things don’t work, you still need to hone your willpower."
Lin Sanjiu sniffed, and her reason, which had almost melted away like a bubble in the gentleness, suddenly came to her senses again. She had just jumped up, but before she could turn her eyes to see what was going on, her mind
The voice in the middle gently stopped her: "Don't turn your head."
"Ah?" At this moment, Lin Sanjiu finally realized who she heard: "...Yi, Teacher Yi! You are back - are you okay?"
"Well, I'm fine." The voice smiled softly.
Lin Sanjiu's heart was beating loudly, and she forced herself to lower her eyelids - in her peripheral vision, the shadow seemed to pause slightly because of her movements, and slowly moved back; she was busy in her mind
Asked: "What is that? Why can't I turn my head?"
"I said you can't turn your head, but I didn't say you can't look up." Teacher Yi's voice sounded softly like a smile, "Just don't look at the person next to you."
What do you mean? What happened to Qingjiuru?
Lin Sanjiu was a little stunned, but still raised her eyes as she said.
In this collapsed ruins, the moonlight fell through the gaps. Although it was as thin as a layer of veil, it was enough for her to clearly see the thing in front of her.
...It was much smaller than she imagined, probably only as long as an adult's arm; under a huge, shriveled head, dry tan skin was tightly attached to the ribs and a spine that were shaped like a human chest.
Above. From the part connected to the vertebrae, something like a fish tail gradually extends out.
"This, is this a mermaid?"
Lin Sanjiu was shocked, and then she heard Qing Jiuliu also let out a low cry - it seemed that she was interrupted by her movements. The singing had stopped for a while, and the other two people finally recovered.
wide awake.
The ugly little mermaid, which looked like a dried specimen, also realized what was wrong, turned around and rushed back into the darkness; but now that you have seen it, how can you let it go like this - at the feet of Lin Sanjiu
With one push, its escape route was blocked by its head.
"This should be a special item. Try turning it into a card." Teacher Yi reminded her gently and coolly.
...special items?
Only then did Lin Sanjiu feel surprised, but he had already subconsciously activated [Flat World] in his hand, and then hit the mermaid hard on the back.
With a "pop", the mermaid disappeared in her palm.
"Did you catch it?" Qingjiuru ran over behind him, "What the hell is that thing?"
Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and glanced at the card in her hand. She suddenly smiled bitterly in her heart - she was worried that Ci Tu was also present, so she couldn't speak, so she simply handed the card to Qing Jiuliu from under the black cloth, gesturing for them to take a look too.
look.
Ci Tu's long face quickly looked up from Qing Jiuli's shoulder. After looking at it for a while, his mouth gradually became rounder.
[Fantastic Creatures Exhibition Exhibit #12]
The world-renowned fantasy novel writer is going to hold a book signing here! In order to create an environment that meets the author's expectations, the mall has specially made many models and specimens of fantasy creatures to decorate the book signing venue. Although the doomsday is at the book signing
This day has arrived, but I have to say that the mall's efforts have not been in vain - Exhibit 12, Siren, has actually turned into a self-propelled special item, which is really unexpected.
This is a down-to-earth special object. Just like the legend, Exhibit No. 12 honestly confuses human beings with its singing. But what is different from the legend is that because the exhibitor made it particularly ugly, there is no siren to confuse people.
Because of its beauty, the power of Exhibit No. 12 is also greatly reduced; any shock may wake people up from its confusion.
Because it is a self-propelled special item. Exhibit No. 12 is driven by nature (?). Determined (?) to seduce a stunningly beautiful woman (?), and use the other person's appearance to increase his own power; because
The humans who are bewitched by it will, just like the legend, eventually disappear into the body of the sea monster - so this beauty will eventually become part of Exhibit No. 12. With beauty, the power of Exhibit No. 12 will be greatly enhanced.
!
ps: If you want to use this special item, you need to hold it firmly in your hand. The effectiveness and duration of the item completely depend on whether and how good-looking the user is.
"So, it's all the fault of you little pretty boy!" Citu shook the card in his hand and said fiercely to Qing Jiuliu: "I'm just weird. I remember I clearly woke up once and was about to come over to call.
You, when I look at your face, I feel confused again..."
Lin Sanjiu agreed in her heart - as soon as she turned around after waking up, her eyes were caught by Qing Jiuliu's face, and then she became addicted again, with almost no resistance at all.
"I am the victim." Qingjiuru muttered, frowning tightly: "I have a question - when it comes to 'Beauty', why does this card have a question mark here? What is it?
mean?"
If he hadn't been unable to speak, Lin Sanjiu would have really wanted to scold him, "Stop making trouble."
Ci Tu seemed to be unable to stand him, so he threw the card back to Lin Sanjiu and said in a rough voice: "I thought you two had some great plan, but you turned out to be two fools! I'm too lazy to talk anymore.
I’m with you, hurry up and find me the trial target, and start taking action now!”
Being called a fool by Citu, both of them found it difficult to accept it for a while; but before Qingjiu Liu could say anything, Citu suddenly strode up and shouted at him: "Hand out your hand!"
Qingjiu Liu smacked his lips and stretched out a hand lazily; Situ pulled him over and gave him a "snap", making him cry out in pain; Qingjiu Liu hurriedly shook his hand a few times and took another look.
, there is already an extra blood spot on the fingertip.
"This is to prevent you from running around. Generally speaking, it is only pressed after the first-level candidate has made the first action to complete the trial goal." Ci Tu said while gesturing to Lin.
Sanjiu also stretched out his hand: "...but I have never seen such a lazy candidate like you. I can't wait any longer. Please reach out quickly!"
Now I can’t even show my hands——
Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth and gently stretched out half of her index finger from under the black cloth; only one fingertip was exposed. The other person shouldn't be able to notice the difference between herself and the man, right?
Situ glanced at her finger and frowned.
However, he didn't say much, and then pressed Lin Sanjiu's finger - she didn't know what he was holding in his hand. She gasped in pain. When she raised her hand, she saw that there was a slow movement on her fingertips.
The ground oozed a little red.
...It seemed like something was quickly sinking into the bottom layer of her skin.
He was probably fed up with these two candidates. After ordering some unknown items for them, Citu turned around and dug out of the gap - judging from his tone before leaving, it sounded like he didn't want to come back anytime soon.
.
"What did he hit me with?" Lin Sanjiu asked nervously in his mind as soon as Ci Tu walked away.
"Don't worry, it's just a location. I can make that gadget be pushed out at any time - but not yet. If it is pushed out, the other party will find it." Teacher Yi said with a bit of laziness.
.
Lin Sanjiu breathed a sigh of relief - this time Teacher Yi came back, she seemed to be a little stronger than before, which made her more confident; she could finally ask all the questions she had: "Teacher Yi,
How was your battle with Nuwa's consciousness? Didn't you say that the combination of genes and consciousness has a particularly powerful impact?"
"Thanks to you," Teacher Yi said with a smile, "...probably because you are a growth type, your consciousness is more powerful than I thought. Now I have temporarily suppressed Nuwa's consciousness.
——But we don’t know when it will come back again, so we can’t relax yet.”
That's it... Lin Sanjiu bit her lip.
Just when she was about to ask something else, she suddenly felt her shoulder being poked by Kiyoshi: "Hey!"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned: "Ah?"
"Ah, what, bring me a bottle of wine." Qingjiuru scratched his face, leaving a few red marks indifferently on the face that could make people stare at it for ten minutes. "Well, no Chivas Regal.
,pure fucking fake wine..."
Lin Sanjiu simply took out several bottles in succession for him to choose, and put away the rest; just thinking about it, she suddenly called out [Fantasy Creature Exhibition Exhibit #12], and after deactivating the card,
He threw it into Qingjiu Liu's arms.
"What are you doing?" Qingjiuru asked in a somewhat embarrassed tone, holding a bottle of wine in one hand and the merman in the other.
"A person like you who is immersed in tobacco and alcohol all day long may die one day." Lin Sanjiu climbed up the big rock first and said as he climbed out: "...it's rare to have something you can count on.
I can survive, forget it, I'm not a big beauty anyway."
"You look good...actually not bad," Qing Jiuliu tried to comfort her, but Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but feel a little angry - he didn't forget to take a sip of wine when he climbed out of the ruins.
: "But in this case, I will have to shave every day, alas..."
"And even if you're going to drink until you're unconscious, you still have to hold it well - don't hold it now! That guy has already started singing!" Lin Sanjiu felt that his mind was confused, and he immediately drank to Qing Jiuliu.
The latter quickly let go, thought for a moment, pulled off a shoelace from his foot, tied the mermaid who had just shut up his mouth to the waist of his trousers, and then put it into his pocket.
When he finished all these things and looked up again, Qing Jiuliu found that Lin Sanjiu was still standing in a daze.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Sanjiu turned her head, and it was impossible to see her expression clearly under the black cloth.
"If you think about it carefully, this mermaid...can only sing." Her voice was soft and a little confused. "...Then what was the whistle we heard at the beginning?"
