At the dinner table, the smoke of gunfire was everywhere-

The last piece of chicken wings was lying quietly in the center of the plate, a cold light appeared in Su Jiujiu's eyes, Lin Ziyue's face was solemn, and Yan Crow's face was hideous.

Yan Crow was the first to speak: "The big battle the day before yesterday, hmm...... Master, ah no, Xiaosheng consumes too much, how can I make up for it if I don't make up for it...... That's what you say, right?"

Su Jiujiu sneered: "Hehe, the demon still cares about the gains and losses of food in the world? Don't you think that you, a high-level demon who has inherited the ancient bloodline, lose your identity by doing this?"

"You fox, Hugh wants to use your identity to blackmail me! Look at the battle in the demon world, which demon can eat with his face? Fight with his face? Survive with his face!?"

Lin Ziyue glared at Yan Crow: "Don't say such ugly words Jiujiu......! Succubus of that race!"

Su Jiujiu nodded and said, "Look, crow boy, my family Xiaoyue knows about this, let me tell you, even if she is your soul partner, she will always be towards me!"

Lin Ziyue stared at the chicken wings and said without raising her head: "But food has nothing to do with personal affairs!

Yan Crow immediately burst out laughing in a dumb voice, quite like when he was a crow: "Gahahaha! Tell you to scream!! The little fox has been slapped in the face by her own people! Let me tell you, there is no friendship, family affection or love at the dinner table, and there are only endless calculations! This is the nature of food!"

"I don't think you guys will, aren't you just having a meal?" Xuanyuan Yu sat at the table and ate this meal, feeling as if he had watched the great drama of the historical wave of the Three Kingdoms hegemony, the complexity of the three of them was no less complicated than the palace scheming or the rise and fall of the dynasty, he spent most of his time gnawing rice with sauce and beef and egg soup, and it was really the chopsticks that the three of them strictly guarded against attacking others in many directions, making it difficult for him to start.

"At the beginning of human beings, they were addicted to food, and the mystery of my Great Orient is that the people take food as the sky, and they can't eat everything. The broken thoughts in Lin Ziyue's mouth sounded a little crazy, as if she was chanting a scripture, but her gaze seemed to be fixed on the chicken wings.

Su Jiujiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he also raised the vigilance of his whole body: "It's just a regional problem, not everything can be eaten, but delicious things must not be let go!"

"Hunting for food is one of the basic modes of existence of sentient beings, the higher the class, of course, the more advanced things must be regarded as the object of prey, otherwise, after so many years, wouldn't it have evolved in vain, and climbed to this step to now be able to look down on sentient beings!"

Lin Ziyue continued to complain: "You are a demon who also pays attention to the evolution theory and food chain of human beings? Hurry up and get me off the table, your prototype is so small, you should have eaten it a long time ago!!"

Su Jiujiu also interjected and said, "Xiaoyue, shouldn't you be full, too? Who said you had to maintain a good weight last month? I remember that you swore that you almost threw away your own sugar jar?

Xuanyuan Yu sandwiched a bunch of shredded potatoes, no one glanced at him at all, which actually made him feel a different kind of loneliness, he couldn't help but persuade: "You can eat something else, it's a big deal, I'll make it for you later......"

Lin Ziyue looked back excitedly: "Really, won't it be too troublesome-"

At the moment when she turned her head, Su Jiujiu, who was sitting on the other side of Lin Ziyue, immediately stretched out his chopsticks and poked at the chicken wings that exuded a drooling aroma with lightning speed.

Immediately, Yan Crow's chopsticks slid down, and when he was about to land on the chicken wings, Su Jiujiu patted the table and shouted: "The demon suppression order is !!"

With her words, a golden light burst out from under the dining table, and it was an activated yellow spell, and the rune paper automatically flew towards the Yan Crow, the Yan Crow was startled, and immediately withdrew the chopsticks and walked towards it, reaching out to poke the charm, the moment the chopsticks pierced the charm, the yellow light dispersed, Su Jiujiu chuckled and just wanted to lift the chopsticks, but found that a cold gaze came from beside her, Lin Ziyue stared at her gloomily, Su Jiujiu immediately made it difficult to start, the chopsticks were lifted in the air, and it was not clamped down, but she was unwilling to take back the bowl。

"Did you want to steal that piece of chicken wings just now......" Lin Ziyue's words also had a somewhat gloomy feeling, hearing that Su Jiujiu's back was erect, Xiao Yue's tone was actually a little angry, if she would lose her temper so seriously and gently, it would be a scene that Su Jiujiu didn't dare to imagine.

"I don't need to wrap a scissor hammer. Yan Crow took the charm off his chopsticks in disgust, looked at the chopsticks and hesitated to wash them, and thought that it would be okay to eat some talismans, and he would not be hurt by such a simple demon subjugation.

"I said did you ignore someone?" Xuanyuan Yu knocked on the table expressionlessly, looked around at a few people, Yan Yao craned his neck and looked at him indifferently, Su Jiujiu's eyes flickered a few times, Lin Ziyue lowered his head a little embarrassed, staring at the table and didn't dare to look at Xuanyuan Yu's serious expression, "Anyway, it's also my cooking?"

"Ah, forget it, just give it to Xuanyuan boy!" Yan Yao bared his teeth and said impatiently, "What if you two are dissatisfied with this master and refuse to take me to dinner in the future?"

Su Jiujiu rolled his eyes: "You still know that you are a diner in this house! I didn't say you, why do you have to eat, demons can live without eating human food, right?"

Lin Ziyue looked at the chicken wings and said with regret on her face: "Goodbye, delicious chicken wings, I will miss you." ”

Su Jiujiu poked Lin Ziyue's face: "What are you doing to be hypocritical! How can you feel like you are parting from life and death in a TV series! Don't mess around!"

Lin Ziyue also poked back in Su Jiujiu's face unceremoniously: "It seems that the person who used the charm just now was not you!"

The two women began to poke each other childishly, and Yan Crow also looked at Xuanyuan Yu's chopsticks with a complicated face, and landed safely on the chicken wings on the plate, and then Xuanyuan Yu sandwiched the chicken wings into Lin Ziyue's bowl.

“…… Huh!?" Yan Crow couldn't help but look surprised.

"Foreign aid cheating!!" Su Jiujiu stopped poking Lin Ziyue's face and stared at Lin Ziyue's bowl indignantly.

Lin Ziyue looked at Xuanyuan Yu with a look of surprise: "Really...... Is it really possible?"

"What? Then you will return me?" Xuanyuan Yu smiled and took another bite of shredded potatoes for himself.

Lin Ziyue stared at the chicken wings a little embarrassed for a while, she could feel the blazing gazes of Su Jiujiu and Yan Crow on the side, but she was still reluctant to eat them, and sandwiched the chicken wings into the Xuanyuan Yu bowl again: "Sure enough, I'll pay you back...... It's all said to be your last piece...... Hmm!"

Xuanyuan Yu stuffed the chicken wings directly into Lin Ziyue's mouth, and seeing that her face was flushed by his action, he snorted disdainfully: "Heh, come again? Do you want me to feed you mouth-to-mouth?"

Su Jiujiu and Yan Yao stood aside, both of them were full of embarrassment, and discussed in a low voice: "Is this a strength to flirt with girls............" "It's really a shameless man, borrow flowers to offer Buddha!" "What kind of person, I don't pay attention to morality at all!" "Why should my Xiaoyue be molested by him, obviously Xiaoyue is mine! This girl is not convinced" "You save it, look at Xiaoyue's shyness, as if she cares about you?" "She won't really be hooked like this......" It's a Xuanyuan scoundrel, even if the cooking is delicious, there are problems with his character!"

"Hey, you two!" Xuanyuan Yu listened to it for a long time, he couldn't bear it anymore, these two people didn't have any intention of lowering their voices later, but they talked louder and louder, he shouted helplessly at the other side, Yan Yao and Su Jiujiu immediately silenced, pretending that nothing had happened, revealing an expression of looking around at the scenery.

"......" Lin Ziyue was silently nibbling on chicken wings at this time, her face was flushed and she was reluctant to express her position, and concentrating on food was her best choice to resolve the embarrassment.

After a while, several people sat around the living room, under Su Jiujiu's strong request, Lin Ziyue sat on the sofa with her, Su Jiujiu drove Xuanyuan Yu to the side of the single sofa with vigilance, Yan Crow changed back to the size of a crow, nested on the game cabin on the other side, and looked at the three people with a smile on the other side, not knowing what they were thinking.

"So your name is Xuanyuan Yu...... After a more serious self-introduction, Su Jiujiu spoke with some uncertainty, "What is the relationship between you and Xiaoyue?"

Xuanyuan Yu smiled, this kind of smile Lin Ziyue is very familiar, it is his usual self-protection reaction like a mask, when he first met, he always had this smiling expression, which made Lin Ziyue particularly uncomfortable.

"I have an ordinary netizen relationship with her...... It was supposed to be like this. Xuanyuan Yu said.

Lin Ziyue continued his words: "Originally, I was because of some ...... Strange things in the game were targeted by the program personnel of the Phantom World, and then the shadow is the official person they sent to supervise me?"

"At first, I discussed it with my brother in private, but then you didn't have anything abnormal, and there was nothing to follow up, so they let me do it, anyway, you don't seem to know it at all, and you don't plan to use your strange power to open a plug-in, and everyone doesn't take you to heart, except for ...... I. Xuanyuan Yu paused here, "I'm a little uneasy, your sense of disobedience is too strong. ”

When Su Jiujiu heard this, he asked: "Xuanyuan, what is your position in the Phantom World Company?" A serious hired manager, it is impossible to play the game as long as he wants, and from your point of view, your time seems to be quite casual, and you can always follow Lin Ziyue to reverse her schedule, she is a person who works night shifts every day." ”

Yan Crow sneered and said: "Roar, position? This kid is not a member of the staff at all, right? According to the master's view of the situation that C was possessed by him at that time, it is probably not the first time to fight with this kid for control of the body, when I was on the ship, I had a strange feeling when I came to the phantom world, I am afraid that it is a marginal world that is a second level higher than the world you are in, and it should be from the hand of C." ”

Su Jiujiu frowned: "Similar to the territory of the fox clan?"

Lin Ziyue was puzzled: "What does it mean? I don't even understand." ”

Xuanyuan Yu didn't make a sound, his head tilted slightly to the left, as if listening to someone, Su Jiujiu glanced at his appearance, and then explained to Lin Ziyue: " The territory of the fox clan is an independent small world, the capacity of each world is limited, our current world is like a bubble, and the territory of our Dongtian fox clan is like being within another much smaller bubble, and what is wrapped in countless small bubbles is a huge balloon, the outer wall of the balloon is very thick, not the power in the bubble of an ordinary balloon can break it, and this big balloon is the human world, one of the six realms——"

"Wait a minute," Xuanyuan Yu interrupted, "There is someone who knows the Six Realms and wants to talk to you, especially face-to-face, and have a good chat with Xiao Yue." ”

"Who allowed you to call Xiaoyue's ......," Su Jiujiu muttered.

"It's C, right? I'd like to talk to him too. Lin Ziyue responded, Xuanyuan Yu nodded after hearing her answer, closed his eyes and gently fell back on the sofa, but within ten seconds, when he opened his eyes again, the whole person's temperament changed.

"Although I want to politely say that I haven't seen you for a long time, but I only met it not long ago, what do you want me to call you?" Although it was still Xuanyuan Yu sitting on the sofa, the other two people in the room felt a chill rising from their backs, and they didn't know why they had such an instinctive reaction.

Lin Ziyue clenched her fists, calmed down and said, "Just call me Lin Ziyue." ”

"What? can't even Satsuki?" C chuckled before turning the subject back, "Since you were talking about the intersection of the Phantom World and the Six Realms just now...... Then I think it's better to let me, the so-called 'initiator', explain. ”

Yan Crow snorted: "Huh, it's really troublesome to bother a 10,000-year-old big brother like you to explain in person!"

"I have a saying...... Am I just giving you an explanation?" C said with a smile, his smile was fundamentally different from Xuanyuan Yu's, and when the corners of his eyes were raised, there was often a kind of malicious contempt, but it also seemed polite, so that people couldn't find fault or complain at all, "It's necessary to explain to everyone." ”

"You say everyone...... Who else but us?" Lin Ziyue asked.

"Who I'm talking about, they will naturally know. C gave an ambiguous answer.

Su Jiujiu shrugged: "If you don't want to say it, you will sell it, you are pretending to be mysterious and pretending to be first-class...... So let me ask you the first question, who are you? Who are you?"

"I look like the man behind the scenes, doesn't I? What you've been chasing has something to do with me, Ms. Su Jiujiu. ”

Su Jiujiu was choked by his answer, then jumped up from the sofa and stared at C with a murderous gaze: "Are you serious?"

C's face seemed to be smiling, and Su Jiujiu's heart was even more angry, but C replied unhurriedly: "Everything you have encountered has something to do with me, don't you think so?" Lin Ziyue?"

Lin Ziyue, who was suddenly named, was stunned for a moment, and then replied a little crampedly: "Ah, ah, um, but I don't think it's entirely related to you." ”

The smile on C's face disappeared: "Why do you say that? Don't you treat me as an enemy?"

"Because you're also protecting me, me, and Xuanyuan, otherwise you wouldn't have rushed to the fox territory to relieve me. Lin Ziyue pursed her lips and moved slightly to Su Jiujiu's side, she always had a mixed feeling of awe for C, a bit similar to her feeling of facing Lin Ziyun and facing her brother.

C didn't speak, Su Jiujiu shook Lin Ziyue's shoulder, and looked like he hated iron but not steel: "You know what I've been tracking down all these years!? It's Mei Ying's whereabouts! Now that a major suspect has appeared, you still believe him!? Are you caught in the door! I suspect that the shit you have been doing since you were a child, I'm afraid it was all stirred up by this bastard, and you still believe him!?"

Lin Ziyue pulled Su Jiujiu's arm away with her backhand, and she was also a little anxious: "I know! I know you want to tear him up immediately! Mei Ying's death is me, I am also very unwilling! Who would accept that kind of thing!! but ...... But he is also my savior, I can't deny this, even if there is a fox immortal order, if that cold ghost king insists on taking me away, the fox clan elder will not let the fox clan help at all, he is more willing to send me out whether I live or die!!Anyway, as long as I die, won't the fox fairy order be invalid!?"

Su Jiujiu was speechless for a while, she knew that what Lin Ziyue said was the truth.

Lin Ziyue took a deep breath a little, and seeing that Su Jiujiu didn't reply, she continued: "In the illusion world, too, when I fell into a strange illusion, it was this guy who appeared in my painful memory inexplicably, and then I got out of there, that black rose...... It seems terrible, but he has never really caused me trouble, the last time Yan Crow took me to you, you almost died at the hands of that cold ghost king, and he saved you, should. ”

C turned his head, the expression on his face was cloudy, Su Jiujiu also turned his head, staring at the coffee table, his eyes were still full of anger that he couldn't vent, Yan Crow snorted lightly: "Hmph, you are free, have you ever thought about why this guy is wanted by the Six Realms?"

As soon as C heard this topic, he actually looked a little uneasy: "We'd better not mention this, and you'd better treat me as an enemy, anyway, I'll only put you in more trouble in the future, and even ruin your life-"

"My life has been ruined by you. Lin Ziyue's voice trembled, but she didn't stop, "It has been destroyed since the beginning, I know why you are wanted, there is a grocery store in the illusory world who told me that it is soul research." ”

C was silent.

"He felt it when the Raven made a contract with me...... My mutilated soul, one might even say two souls, was forcibly fused into one, and he asked me later, but I had no clue at all, and I remembered you then. Lin Ziyue lowered her head and stared at her hands, looking a little sluggish, "I...... Is it really human?"

"Xiaoyue......" Su Jiujiu looked at Lin Ziyue worriedly, she had never seen Lin Ziyue with such a lonely expression, and the only time was at Mei Ying's funeral.

"I question the reality of my life, my brother too, Jiujiu too, Yan Crow too, even Xuanyuan too, C, you too...... What is the real thing? After all the reality that I used to identify with and trust has been overturned by you, tell me, what is the real world like?"

C's eyes dimmed, and he looked at Lin Ziyue with a little regret and pain, he could see her gently trembling shoulders, but he couldn't see the answer to her question: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you." ”

For a moment, the whole room was so depressed that no one spoke, and after a few moments, C let out a long sigh.

"Alas, you have to see for yourself after all, the path of the illusory world will open for you at any time, go to the Six Realms to see, be mentally prepared to see many things, the action and adaptability attached to your second soul should be enough to keep you going, that's all for today's conversation, in the future, I won't appear easily." ”

Su Jiujiu frowned: "Why do you have to be attached to someone else's body?"

C laughed: "Hehe, my soul is also destined to be scattered." ”

"Then the second soul should be the person that the Cold Ghost King is chasing, right?" Yan Crow said, "Although this master is not a demon who has a lot of experience with souls, he still has an intuition. ”

"Yes, that's true, that's a grudge between me and them, but, when Lin Ziyue travels through the Six Realms and Liuhe, she will naturally know everything, ah, by the way, Lin Ziyue, I'll teach you a way to jump from the Illusory World to the Six Realms, similar to the dungeon, as long as you complete the corresponding task, you will be teleported back to the Illusory World. ”

"Wait! you ......" Su Jiujiu just wanted to say something, C glanced at her casually, she immediately felt a sense of fear from the depths of her soul, and then swallowed the second half of her words.

"In the teleportation area of each Illusory World dungeon, there must be a fountain, and as long as you stand in the fountain, it will naturally lead to the dungeon that teleports into the Six Realms, and - it is the only dungeon that you can teleport to, but if you are in a team, you can bring anyone in. ”

"Why...... Why is it me?" Lin Ziyue hung her head, her eyes a little blurry.

C looked at the night outside the window, and the lights of the city buildings, and a trace of mockery hung on the corner of his mouth: "Because I have never chosen, and you have no choice, just tell you, I seem to have ruined your life from the beginning, but let me tell you, your life has been designed from the beginning." ”

After saying these words, Xuanyuan Yu fell straight back, Lin Ziyue sat back on the sofa in confusion, looked out of the window with blank eyes, and kept tears without a sound, Su Jiujiu ran to the kitchen to get a beer irritably, Yan Yao sighed, flew to Lin Ziyue's shoulder, and brushed the tears on her face with her wings.

Yan Crow whispered, "Are you scared?"

"I can't even understand who to hate and what to complain about, do you say I still know what it is to be afraid?" Lin Ziyue smiled bitterly, tears constantly sliding down her face.
