readx;“ You mean the Mixing City Lord?" Shadow Dance reached out and touched the mural of the empty box, with a thoughtful look on his face, "Then there is a very important doubt, if this mural was painted after the box was opened, then the Mixing City Lord must know this place, he is the survivor of that disaster? Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Lin Ziyue knocked on the black line above the box and said: "What is the source of this blood corpse? It is not a complete virus, nor does it look like a simple curse, it feels more like an incomplete experiment, it was abandoned by the maker after it went out of control, and the expression of the city lord looking at the wooden box was also very subtle. ”

After the two discussed for a while, they felt that it was not safe to ask the city lord directly, in case Mixing himself had something to hide, and the two had no way to confirm it, after the topic was interrupted, the stone cave fell silent, and the light emitted by the water spirit bead flowed in the cave, Lin Ziyue stared at the blue light that swam on the wall, feeling like being surrounded in the deep sea...... Or, the same feeling as the sky.

Lin Ziyue thought of this, and couldn't help but smile: "I think that the person who let the drifting city start drifting must miss the floating island in the sky very much, so he got a water spirit bead and took a city with him, and wandered around like that floating island." ”

"Let's go first, there's no need to think about it here if you have clues, it's not good if someone comes. ”

Lin Ziyue and the shadow left the stone cave along the hot spring when they came, the shadow shook off his wet hair, and kept complaining, fortunately, after the two climbed out, the water on their bodies was refreshed by the system within a few minutes, Lin Ziyue and the shadow were holding a piece of candy, and no one was too lazy to speak, so they walked aimlessly in silence all the way, the shadow pointed to the roadside stall from time to time, and then took Lin Ziyue over to take a few looks, Lin Ziyue poked the shadow from time to time, and sighed together at a strangely dressed player.

The two stopped at a stall in the trading area in the center of the city, where Lin Ziyue found some translucent rattan.

"Hehe, this sister is really good eyesight, this is the most famous specialty of our Xiganmeng!" said the girl with the clover-shaped hat with a smile, the double ponytail shook up and down with her desperate nod, the girl wrapped the blanket around her a little tighter, and asked Lin Ziyue, "So do you want to buy it......?" These seventeen can be used for as long as you have 300 gold coins! After all, I see that my sister is very kind, this is a special discount!"

The shadow frowned, the way the girl spoke reminded him of a person, gray, he was hesitating whether to stop Lin Ziyue from trading, but he heard a commotion coming, the shadow looked in the direction where the sound came, someone was faintly shouting something in the distance, and then when he turned his head again, Lin Ziyue had already handed over the bag containing three hundred gold coins to the girl, and the girl took the money and stuffed the rattan into Lin Ziyue's arms and ran across the corner, and soon disappeared from the sight of the two.

At this time, the noise on the other side was clearly heard, and someone was shouting "catch the liar" and rushed here.

"Hey, did you see a woman who called herself Xiganmeng?!" several men yelled at Shadow and Lin Ziyue angrily, "That guy sells fakes in this area all year round, just now a friend said that I saw her set up a stall here, did you see it!"

The shadow casually pointed in the direction where the girl had run, and several people immediately cursed as they turned the corner and chased after her.

"Fake...... Eh?!" Lin Ziyue thought of the dozen translucent vines she had just put away, and felt a little apprehensive, she picked up one to check the attributes, but only the words "special material" were displayed, she tried to pull off the vines, but it didn't take much effort, the vines were pulled off, and some transparent gum flowed out of the breaks, Lin Ziyue had an urge to grab the ground with her head.

"It's really a fake!" Lin Ziyue rubbed the transparent gum gloomily, "It's not real at all...... According to the rattan chair made by the city lord, this tree rattan should be super flexible. ”

The shadow raised her eyebrows, patted Lin Ziyue, and took the vine in her hand and looked at it carefully.

"What's wrong?"

The shadow shook his head and said, returning the vine to Lin Ziyue: "You put these things away first, I think that female liar may not recognize the original appearance of this kind of thing, this may be a rootless vine unique to the demon world." ”

When Lin Ziyue heard this, she pinched the vine in her hand again, and another stream of gum flowed out from the top, she pursed her lips disdainfully, but still took the vine back into her backpack according to the shadow's words.

"It's so annoying! Why did you meet such a nasty person! There is time to cheat so many gold coins, why don't you go to arrange a copy? The time to get money is faster!" Lin Ziyue kicked away a small pebble under her feet, and walked around the wall irritably, the shadow glanced at her, knowing that she was unhappy about being fooled, and immediately opened a piece of candy and stuffed it into Lin Ziyue's mouth, this move was very effective, Lin Ziyue quieted down not long after, and leaned against the wall side by side with him.

"You're really ...... Oh, it feels as straightforward as a pet. Shadow raised an eyebrow.

At this time, it was "raining heavily" above the Drifting City, not so much raining, but actually because the Drifting City went to a slightly lower place, the river around the city swelled high, and then fell from the sky into the city, it became such a rain-like landscape, in this "downpour", the two were forced to take shelter from the rain under the eaves of a tavern-like In the sound of the rain, a figure who seemed to be holding an umbrella ran in the direction of the tavern by stepping on a puddle of water.

When the figure walked in, Lin Ziyue saw that the person was not holding an umbrella, but a giant clover, and under the clover, there was a girl with a double ponytail that looked a little familiar, but the clover on the hat was gone.

"Ahh The girl stopped a few steps away from the eaves and looked uneasily at the shadow and Lin Ziyue.

Lin Ziyue threw an appraisal technique, and the system prompted that the appraisal failed, indicating that the other party was much higher than her own level, she thought about her weak combat power, and felt that it was better not to do it directly, so Lin Ziyue looked at the shadow, and the shadow snorted after seeing Lin Ziyue's eyes asking for help, and said: "No matter, your own affairs, you have not been able to handle it yourself, and didn't I say it, it is likely that she will suffer, and you are the one who takes advantage." ”

Lin Ziyue kicked the shadow calf hatefully, glared at the girl and said, "Anyway, I can't beat you, you can do whatever you want!" and then stared at her toes with a snort, lowered her head and became silent.

The girl seemed to want to say something, but in the end she just bent down at the two of them, and then rushed into the tavern, and soon the sound of quarreling came from inside, and it seemed a little erratic in the "rustle" of the pouring rain.

Lin Ziyue's frowning brows stretched, she stretched out her hand, and the cold water fell from the sky, landed in her palm, and then poured down.

"Do you like rain?" Shadow couldn't help but ask when he saw that Lin Ziyue's entire arm was wet with rain, but he still looked indifferent and serene.

"I don't like it. Lin Ziyue said this, with a trance smile on her face, mixed with the sound of quarrels from the tavern in the rain, which seemed a little weird, "I always feel that the rain is like the sky is crying, crying for the various states of the world." ”

Shadow sighed: "Alas, it's not a good habit for you to be so sentimental, it's just a natural phenomenon, so why bother with your mood." ”

"I know, but knowing and feeling are two different things, it's like knowing that no matter how hard you struggle in life, there must be an end, but you still want to live. Lin Ziyue said, retracting the outstretched hand.

The shadow was silent, looking up at the seemingly endless water falling from the sky, as if remembering something.

At this moment, a person flew out of the door of the tavern, landed in the muddy water on the ground, and even coughed up a little blood, obviously a sign of a drastic drop in physical strength, and another strong figure walked out of the door of the tavern, a man in a short shirt and camouflage shorts, he threw the giant clover on the girl, and shouted: "Just let me go if I don't have a niece like you!

The liar girl with a double ponytail, her pale green dress was stained gray and black by muddy water, her tears mixed with the rain, and her sobbing voice was particularly weak, and she curled up in the muddy water with a clover and cried.

"I told you to get out, you don't understand!!" the man standing in the doorway roared again.

Lin Ziyue couldn't look at it, ran up and helped up the girl covered in mud, the girl's dull eyes looked at Lin Ziyue, that kind of empty look made Lin Ziyue's heart jump, and after standing up, the girl pushed away Lin Ziyue's support in a trance, and ran away in the rain alone.

The heavy rain fell on Lin Ziyue, she wiped the rain on her face with her soaked sleeves at will, picked up the shrinking clover umbrella on the ground, and finally turned into a clover hairpin, which was so quiet that it was on Lin Ziyue's hand under the heavy rain, occupying almost half of her palm.

"Don't stand stupidly, get in, and so is that kid over there. After the man finished speaking, he turned around and entered the tavern, Lin Ziyue was reluctant to be dragged by the shadow, holding the clover hair ornament tightly in his hand, following behind the shadow, and the two also walked into the tavern.

The tavern was empty and there were no guests, the man waved his hand casually, let the two of them sit casually, the shadow sat on the edge of the bar first, Lin Ziyue frowned and had to sit over, the man casually threw two bottles on the bar, and the bottles rolled in front of the two. The shadow picked up the bottle opener on the table very casually, pried open the bottle mouth and poured a few sips, Lin Ziyue ignored the bottle on the bar, just stared at the man sitting on the chair on the other side of the bar.

"No. 3 grenade, just call me big thunder. The man said this, priing open a bottle of beer with a "bang", and drank it himself.

"Oh......? Do you know the No. 4 cable?" Shadow raised his eyebrows, reached out and took Lin Ziyue's bottle of soda and pried it open, put the bottle in front of Lin Ziyue, and was glared at by Lin Ziyue.

"Cable...... Former comrades-in-arms, I haven't seen him for many years, but I didn't expect you to know him. When Da Lei said this, the angry look on his face subsided a little, and he closed his eyes.

"Just now...... You're the one who threw that girl out of the tavern. Lin Ziyue said softly, the soda in front of her with a slight bubbling sound, as if it was responding to the sound of rain outside the tavern.

"Of course, there must be a way to treat scum, why does she say that she wants to help me when she cheats people to make money...... The eldest and his two daughters have not had any good things since they were brought out by the second child, and our brothers are probably ashamed of him. ”

Da Lei slammed his fist on the bar, with an expression of hatred that could not be made of steel, and the bar table trembled a little under his fist.

"Isn't the second child's specialty stunt camouflage and undercover, I heard him talk about it when Da Cable blew up his black history before. Shadow raised an eyebrow and took a few more sips of soda.

Lin Ziyue looked at the soda in front of her, although she held it in her hand, she didn't pick it up and drink it, but said, "But it's a bit too much to treat her like that." ”

The girl's hollow eyes in the heavy rain were like ...... A person with a dead heart in general.

"That girl...... That girl really wants to help you, and after she was disgusted by you, she looked like she was lost and depressed, you ......"

"I know!!Of course I know!!" Da Lei roared, and Lin Ziyue closed her mouth, "But that doesn't mean I'm willing to accept those dirty money!! Lao Tzu has a bottom line!!You can get out, if you entered the tavern to tell me this, you can get out." ”

Lin Ziyue took the soda in her hand, dropped two gold coins, got up and walked outside the tavern, and after watching her go out, the shadow watched her go out, and then said to Da Lei: "I'm sorry, she's a little petty like this, obviously a person who can't even save herself, but with a foolish persistence, she wants to help others." ”

"What are you, dreamers living in this generation? I thought that since the last century war, such people have been extinct. Da Lei sneered and said, but then showed a depressed look, "Actually, I don't know why I called you in, probably because she is the first person I have ever seen who has been deceived and will be willing to help the cub, that little rabbit cub...... Alas. ”

"Oh, how do you know she's been deceived?" Shadow was a little surprised.

Da Lei laughed out loud, and only after laughing did he say: "I can hear her complaints at the door before! I don't have any special skills, but my ears are relatively smart, so I used to work as a special mercenary, boy!"

The shadow tapped on the table and said, "About that cub...... Does she have a sister? Can you tell me more about it?"

"Since you want to know, it's nothing to tell you, but I advise you not to have a relationship with these two sisters, the two little rabbit cubs brought out by the second for the eldest are more insidious and ruthless than the other. Originally, these two sisters were the daughters of the boss, but the mercenary group was idle after the war, and the boss went to outer space as a cruiser, leaving a pair of daughters at home, and our group of people had no family except for the eldest and the fourth, so we wanted to raise the sisters together, but the ending was ......"

The shadow tried not to laugh, he had already made up the scene of a few big men circling around the two little Lori: "Ahem, your plan is quite a failure, right, ah yes, except for that cub, what is her sister's name?"

After taking a few sips of beer, Da Lei took a deep breath and said, "The cub is her sister who is three years older than her, and her name is Mengmeng." ”

Gray...... Hehe, it's getting more and more interesting. The shadow narrowed his eyes, and after dropping a few gold coins on the counter, he said goodbye to Da Lei, and said before leaving: "Have you ever thought about what kind of feelings you will have in your heart as a child if you are disgusted by your family?"

Da Lei watched the shadow walk out of the tavern in silence, the figure gradually became transparent, and disappeared into the sound of the rain, he closed his eyes, remembering the pair of timid little girls crying loudly, and the anxious appearance of a group of old men.

Da Lei sat behind the bar, a dull pain in his chest.

Lin Ziyue rushed out of the tavern and searched aimlessly in the rain, but when she passed by a hot spring, she was dragged by something under her feet and fell into the hot spring.

"Ahh

"I'm sorry!" Lin Ziyue hurriedly kicked back behind the water, and floated a distance, and after the two were separated by half a meter, she spread out her hand and handed the clover hairpin to the girl.

"Ah, thank you. The girl took the hairpin, the expression on her face softened a lot, neither the way she had run away from the space-time hole before, nor like her face flushed just now, she pressed the hairpin to the deep water surface of her chest, and the clover emitted a little green light on her hand, which instantly extended into two clovers, one above her head to block the rain, and the other floating on the water below. After the girl climbed up the clover below, she stretched out her hand to Lin Ziyue and pulled Lin Ziyue under the clover, and the two looked back to back at the endless heavy rain, listening to the continuous sound of water under the clover, the clover seemed to be separated from the outside world.

"It's like I'm embarrassed in front of you, I'm really unwilling, and I'm seen as weak. The girl's voice suddenly came from behind, and Lin Ziyue came back from her daze.

"Well...... It's okay. Lin Ziyue didn't know what to say.

"The big bosses who taught me always said that they couldn't show their weak side in front of people, so I tried my best to be strong, but no matter what I did, I couldn't be as confident and intelligent as my sister, so unwilling, I was so unwilling, I was like being stepped on by my sister forever, everyone said that my sister was well-behaved, and they all said that my sister would be a man, but I ......" The girl said while wiping her tears, "Woo...... Deceitful...... What's wrong with deceiving people!!!My sister blamed me for what she did, and I could only use lies to protect myself since I was a child, I ......"

Lin Ziyue turned around, patted the sobbing girl gently, and sighed in her heart.

"I'm not going to do anything but liar...... No...... Woo, why do you want to do this kind of thing...... And blame me!!" Lin Ziyue took the girl in her arms and shook her head.

"Because of what you do, you hurt others, although you may not feel it yourself, but the person you deceived will be very hurt, like ...... Your feelings when you are being bullied by your sister. ”

In the girl's crying, Lin Ziyue had a headache, what was she doing...... Maybe it's really the same as the shadow said, that I'm sick of the White Lotus? It's disgusting enough to comfort a liar who makes a living by deceiving people. Lin Ziyue laughed at herself like this, but she couldn't bear to push the girl in her arms away.
