The moment Zhou Yu's fingertips touched it, it continued to shrink, forming the shape of a human being.

It was a handsome young man who could not be forgotten at a glance, and a pair of deep eyes wanted to seal Zhou Yu's breath in it, and time stopped.

He hugged Zhou Yu and swam towards the junction of water and light.

Zhou Yu opened his eyes abruptly and breathed hard, as if he had finally jumped out of the water, and what he saw was the roof of his room.

He lifted his hand and pressed his eyes.

It was indeed an S-class creature that saved himself, and it was consistent with the description of the one Song Zhi was looking for. It was probably not his own hallucination, because he had not heard any description of the creature at that time, and he had not yet accepted Elpis's memory, and this hallucination had no basis in his mind. Not to mention that in the battle of the 12th district of the primeval forest, he saved himself again.

It's just that how could I dream and see it just now...... What kind of S-class creature did Ink Night become?

Zhou Yu turned his face sideways, and Mo Ye snuggled up to his side, sleeping soundly, and his little wings would rise and fall slightly with his breathing, without the appearance of any S-class creatures at all.

Zhou Yu exhaled and hugged Mo Ye, but there were many more thoughts in his heart. As a night spirit, Mo Ye has a special connection with that silver S-class creature, did Mo Ye summon it in a hurry?

Or maybe he was indeed saved by an S-class creature, but the appearance of Mo Ye turning into a silver creature was his imagination. Regardless of the danger, Mo Ye confronted the sea gold and saved everyone, so he imagined it as a silver creature who saved himself in the angel horn?

"Ink Night...... Do you have a lot of secrets that I don't know? Zhou Yu touched its back.

This sentence made Mo Ye open his eyes, put his head on Zhou Yu's chest, and looked at him.

Zhou Yu always had the illusion that he was seen through by it. His thoughts, his expectations of the world, and the fears deep in his heart were all known to Moye.

Mo Ye arched Zhou Yu's chin with his nose, then jumped out of bed and waved its front paws at Zhou Yu, which means "It's time for dinner"!

Zhou Yu suddenly smiled.

If Moye is really an S-class creature, why does it stay by its side? Just to drink a little bit of his blood every day?

The next morning, Zhou Yu took Mo Ye to meet Carlos.

Zhou Yu held his head and walked leisurely in the passage. It is rare to have such a comfortable morning, Zhou Yu lowered his eyes, looked at the ink night by his side, its pace and rhythm were exactly the same as his own, and occasionally waved his head, as if even the mood was the same as Zhou Yu.

A team of researchers and guards pushed a petri dish past them.

Zhou Yu looked over, and in the petri dish was an almost transparent pale golden creature, spinning and turning in the water, as wonderful as a waltz.

Zhou Yu was attracted to the eye: the ...... It seems to be a Nibelungen jellyfish......

It's beautiful...... But maybe it's also dangerous......

In less than a second, Mo Ye bit Zhou Yu's trouser leg dissatisfiedly, Zhou Yu lowered his head, and couldn't help but laugh the moment he looked at Mo Ye.

Mo Ye's eyes were big, full of unhappiness.

In its cognition, Zhou Yu's concern should belong to it except for Zhou Qing and a few people such as Wu Yun. But Zhou Yu looked at the Nibelungen jellyfish for more than a second, which was really unbearable for Mo Ye.

Zhou Yu smiled, lowered his body and pressed his chin against Mo Ye's forehead: "Okay, okay, let's go find Carlos!" ”

Carlos' department is quite busy, doing comparative studies of samples.

As soon as he saw Mo Ye, he walked out excitedly.

"Oh my God, Moye! You're growing up again! Have you recently entered the development period? It's growing fast! ”

Zhou Yu lowered his head and looked at Mo Ye, and found that Mo Ye seemed to be ...... It's really grown up again......

Carlos tries to measure Ink Night, but Ink Night moves around as if he has ADHD. Carlos's body was sweating profusely, but he couldn't hold on to Moye, and of course no one could catch it.

Zhou Yudu was a little sympathetic to Carlos, so he spoke: "Mo Ye, you have to be well-behaved. ”

Mo Ye glanced at Zhou Yu, turned his head unhappily, and stopped moving.

Carlos finally measured the length of the ink night, and said in amazement: "It has grown another three centimeters, this growth rate is too fast!" ”

Not only Carlos, but even Zhou Yu was stunned.

It's not been more than three days since the last time I measured the length of the ink night, and this guy is actually long again?

What kind of growth rate is that?

"Mo Ye, you may have entered the development period! That's why it grows so fast! Carlos tried to touch Moye's head, but Moye quickly ran away.

"Growth? No way? It's been less than a few months since it was born! ”

"Don't measure the creatures of the Nibelungen by the time humans grow. The growth period of the organisms here is very short, but their maturity period can last for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Carlos said.

That is to say...... You're going to grow up soon? Zhou Yu deliberately rubbed Mo Ye's chin with his toes, and Mo Ye ran away again very unhappily, "It seems that in a few days, you will be an independent man, and you can't be coquettish to me." ”

"In addition to its length, we're hoping to get some samples of Moye's saliva, blood, and the fluff on its back." Carlos looked at Zhou Yu pleadingly.

"I'll give it a try, but I don't think Moye will be happy." Zhou Yu beckoned to Mo Ye, of course Mo Ye understood what Carlos was saying, so he couldn't stay away.

Zhou Yu approached Mo Ye, and Mo Ye retreated to other places, and the meaning of refusal was obvious.

Zhou Yu could only sigh and say to Carlos, "I'm sorry...... What it doesn't want to do, even I can't force it......"

Carlos nodded: "It's not easy to see a living night spirit. We can put sampling aside for a moment, but we want to have a comprehensive understanding of the intelligence of the Eidolon. Moye can understand what you say...... Of course, it can understand a lot of people, and I wonder if it has the intelligence level and whether it really has the ability to communicate with us humans. 一qiē For Mo Ye, it's like a game. ”

Zhou Yu looked at Mo Ye and said in a good voice: "Don't draw your blood, don't pluck your hair, just play some games, what do you think?" ”

Mo Ye got a little closer.

Carlos raised his hand: "Come with me!" ”

Carlos had a lot of toys in front of him.

"Since Moya can understand human speech and has certain logical skills, let's play some complex games. See, Moye, this is a Rubik's Cube. Can you make this Rubik's Cube the same color on all sides? Carlos showed Moya a Rubik's cube that had been spelled out with the same color on the same face.

Zhou Yu felt that this was too complicated, even adults might not be able to do it.

But for Carlos, it's not really about asking Moya to complete the Rubik's Cube, but just trying to test whether it has a logical mind similar to that of a human.

Mo Ye showed a very interested expression, and its two little paws hugged the Rubik's Cube and fiddled with it. Because its claws are not as flexible as human fingers, it arches with its nose and tops its hindlimbs from time to time.

But Carlos could see that Moye was really trying to make the Rubik's Cube a one-sided color.

Thinking that Mo Ye was going to play for a long time, Carlos went to make two cups of coffee, and as soon as he handed one of the cups to Zhou Yu's hand, Zhou Yu raised his chin and said, "Mo Ye is done." ”

"Done...... What the? The moment Carlos turned around, he was completely stunned.

Mo Ye yawned and fell down, the Rubik's Cube was thrown aside, and all the noodles were put together.

"It's smarter than me." Zhou Yu pointed at himself and said with a smile.

While laughing, he was also surprised by Moye's intelligence.

Carlos took several more difficult tests, including the Harvard Graphics IQ test.

And Ink Night once again refreshed Carlos's understanding of it to a new level, and Ink Night got almost all the graphics questions right.

Carlos was so excited that he was shocked to classify Moye as a high-IQ species.

"And what about words? Maybe Moye can understand words! ”

With that, Carlos went to find a few whiteboards.

He asked Zhou Yu to write his Chinese name on the whiteboard, and then pointed to the word board and said, "Mo Ye, this is Zhou Yu's name, do you see it clearly?" ”

Mo Ye craned his neck, looked at it very carefully, and nodded.

Carlos was very excited, he erased all the words on the whiteboard, and then asked Zhou Yu to write many other words on the paper, such as Wai, Unloading, and other words similar to Zhou Yu's name, Carlos shuffled the order of the paper and spread it in front of Mo Ye: "Mo Ye, can you still find out Zhou Yu's name?" ”

Mo Ye tilted his head and looked at Carlos, Carlos thought that Mo Ye didn't understand, but Mo Ye walked between the blank papers, and found the word "Zhou" of Zhou Yu in the first one, and then also found the word "Yu" without the slightest hesitation.

Carlos hugged Zhou Yu: "Oh my God, since the night spirit can learn characters!" And the ability to learn is stronger than that of ordinary humans! ”

Chinese is so complicated, and there are so many similar words, but Mo Ye can actually distinguish them.

Zhou Yu was stunned and looked at Mo Ye, does this mean ...... He can teach Mo Ye to read and write, and then it is possible to know what Mo Ye is thinking?

Carlos also planned to devise more complex test methods, and Zhou Yu borrowed a few books from Carlos before leaving.

Along the way, Zhou Yu's face was calm, but his heart was excited.

He had a sense of excitement that he and Moya could finally communicate in a human way.

Back in the bedroom room, Mo Ye jumped directly into bed and nestled next to Zhou Yu's pillow as usual.

"Moye, which book do you like?" Zhou Yu raised his hand and touched Mo Ye's head, although it was still a habitual action, Zhou Yu directly felt that Mo Ye had really grown up.

This made Zhou Yu inexplicably have the illusion that he was aging rapidly.

Mo Ye stretched out his front paws and opened the books, tilting his head to examine them as if they could all be understood.

Finally, it held down a book that was written in black with slightly yellowed pages.

"This one?" Zhou Yu didn't expect Mo Ye to choose such an old book.

He also thought that Ink Night would choose other pages that looked more colorful.

Mo Ye patted it again with his paws, meaning that it was sure of this book.

"You really know how to choose, "Zhu Shenghao's Anthology". Do you know who Zhu Shenghao is? ”

Mo Ye shook his head, but rubbed Zhou Yu with the top of his head expectantly.

Zhou Yu picked up Mo Ye and opened the book in front of it, and the inscription on the first page made Zhou Yu stunned, because the signature was "Song Zhi".

The handwriting that seems to be self-disciplined but makes people feel full of emotion is completely different from the words that Zhou Yu imagined belonged to Song Zhi.

He thought that Song Zhi's words would carry a coolness like a machine, but this was not the case.

Zhou Yu turned the first page, and suddenly had the illusion of exploring Song Zhi's inner world.

Mo Ye patted Zhou Yu's hand, as if to say, "Why don't you hurry up and read it to me?" ”

Zhou Yu cleared his throat and said in a voice without emotion: "Don't worry about the approaching old age, you must be very cute when you are old." And if you are ten years old, I will be ten years old, and the world will be ten years old, and God will be ten years old. One qiē, it's all the same. ”

This was the first time Zhou Yu had read Zhu Shenghao's article, but inexplicably, he felt that this book was deliberately chosen by Mo Ye.

Mo Ye seemed to know very well what Zhou Yu was thinking.

This qiē seems to be reading to Mo Ye, but it is more like Mo Ye telling Zhou Yu, and it doesn't care about the time difference between his long life and Zhou Yu's short life. It was willing to grow old with him.

Zhou Yu suddenly felt that his calm and rational self was ridiculous.

Ink Night ...... How can it be...... It's not human. He came from another world, and it belonged to the Nibelungen.

Seeing that Zhou Yu stopped, Mo Ye suddenly turned his head and licked Zhou Yu's chin with his tongue, as if he was comforted, and Zhou Yu woke up.

"Okay, okay, let's move on." Zhou Yu touched Mo Ye's head and deliberately rested his chin on the top of Mo Ye's head.

"I am only willing to rely on this connection of inspiration to bring comfort to each other from time to time, like the light of a shooting star, shining on my tired dreams. Always have a comfort...... Even though at the time of parting......"

Zhou Yu suddenly subconsciously guessed, if when his employment period was up, when he went back, would he and Mo Ye be able to say goodbye safely?

“…… I woke up and felt so much love for you. ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help but hold his eyes and smile.

His fingertips poked Mo Ye's folded wings: "Do you know what love is?" What's the use of reading this for you......"

Love is an abstract concept. Mo Ye can understand what a bed is, what a book is, and who Zhou Yu is from the daily conversations of Zhou Yu and other humans, but how can Mo Ye understand something that cannot be touched and indescribed?

When Zhou Yu turned his head to Shang Moye, he was stunned.

I used to think that Moye's eyes were very beautiful, and they were extremely clear...... And at this moment, its eyes are like an amber sea, so deep that it is drowned in a qiē.

Mo Ye stretched his neck and touched Zhou Yu's lips lightly. As if answering Zhou Yu, in fact, it understands everything.

Zhou Yu's world trembled slightly.

"You little thing, don't learn! It's all said that you are not allowed to mess with your relatives! Zhou Yu pressed Mo Ye's head into the quilt with all his might.

Moye struggled.

Zhou Yu knew that his strength was not as good as Mo Ye, he just enjoyed fighting with Zhou Yu.

Suddenly, Mo Ye's wings opened, like an embrace, enveloping Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu's hands were propped up on Mo Ye's sides, and he was completely stunned.

When did Mo Ye's wings grow so big?

Mo Ye's eyes narrowed, as if he was smiling. Zhou Yu knew what this guy meant: In the past, you hugged me, but now I can finally hold you too!

Zhou Yu sat up funny, looked at Mo Ye and said, "If you grow up, there will be no room for you here, and you will have to sleep in the corridor outside." ”

Mo Ye looked at Zhou Yu and seemed to take his words seriously, and immediately curled up, in order to prove that he did not occupy a place.

The smile in Zhou Yu's heart widened.

This also made him inexplicably sentimental. He could feel some kind of tacit understanding between himself and Mo Ye, if only he and Zhou Qing could talk and laugh like this.

He and Zhou Qing know each other and respect each other, but since Zhou Qing became a university professor and devoted himself to research, he often carried out some dangerous tasks, and the topic between the two became less and less.

"You say, how can I communicate with you, a person who can't even speak?" Zhou Yu looked at Mo Ye and suddenly felt that this question was amazing.

Mo Ye opened one eye and glanced at Zhou Yu lazily, expressing complete disdain for this question.

The next day, there was no task for the time being, and Zhou Yu took Mo Ye for a walk in the movable area. Now, if someone sees Mo Ye, they won't be so obviously resistant or afraid.

Zhou Yu came to Zhou Qing's research department, and originally wanted to go in to see him, but found that his fingerprints could not be passed. I don't know if Zhou Qing didn't set him up as a daily visitor, or because of Juli Group's confidentiality policy.

"Let's go, let's go see Carlos."

Speaking of Carlos, Mo Ye showed a not very happy expression.

Zhou Yu squatted down on one knee in front of Mo Ye and touched its head.

"Moye, Carlos is actually pretty good to you."

Mo Ye looked away, as if to say: What I despise is his bunch of retarded tests.

Despite Mo Ye's reluctance, Zhou Yu still wanted to know how far Carlos had progressed on the sample of the night spirit's bones, although it stands to reason that he should not care about such a problem.

Carlos was very happy to see Mo Ye, lowered his body and smiled and said, "You are about to have the same kind." Do you wish it was a brother, or a pretty girl? ”

Mo Ye was not interested in this question, and was even a little disgusted. It turned behind Zhou Yu and lay down.

"Moye doesn't seem to want us to bring samples back. So Dr. Carlos, you have to be careful when you research. I'm always worried that something will go wrong. ”

Carlos smiled; "Now that we've established that Inknight has a high IQ, perhaps its displeasure is that it doesn't want another Night Spirit to take its place. Does it want to always be number one in Zhou Yu's heart? Just as some children explicitly like their parents who say they don't want their siblings to take away their parents' love for them. ”

Zhou Yu smiled.

Carlos beckoned to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu lowered his body slightly, and Carlos whispered, "I'll take you to see the progress of our current research." ”

"Is that okay?" Zhou Yu asked in surprise.

"Absolutely." Carlos glanced at Mo Ye, "Don't go in until Mo Ye." I'm afraid it will get agitated and wreck. ”

At most, half a sentence seems to be a joke.

Mo Ye lay down dissatisfiedly outside the door, and Zhou Yu followed Carlos into the door.

An embryo is cultured in a fully enclosed transparent area. It is very small, with its eyes closed, curled up inside, as if wrapped in the amniotic fluid of its mother, and it has a slightly transparent color, as if it will break if it is poked. If you look at it closely, it's not very clear, but it's already very similar to Moye.

Zhou Yu's heart beat wildly inexplicably, this is not the joy of seeing the progress of research. It's an inexplicable disgust, and even Zhou Yu himself doesn't know why his resistance is.

"Interesting, huh...... Life is truly wonderful. And we created it......"

Carlos' eyes were full of anticipation.

Zhou Yu smiled indifferently and moved away from the topic: "Do you have any other tests for Mo Ye today?" ”

"Ah, of course." Carlos came back to his senses, "It's a test of strength. You've said that even helicopters can't pass through the storm caused by the Hikin Yak, but Moya can. We want to know how powerful the ink night is. ”

"That's it?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Yes. Is there anything wrong with this? ”

"If you're trying to take a sample to compare the creature you've made, Ink Night won't cooperate." Zhou Yu said.

Carlos's eyes showed a hint of embarrassment that was pierced by Zhou Yu.

When Mo Ye first arrived here, the resistance was very great, and the anesthetic gas did not work on it, and Carlos was unable to successfully take samples.

Now Mo Ye, in a good mood, may use Carlos's series of intelligence or thinking logic tests as a game to play with them, but if you want to move something on its body, even a small fluff, it will not agree.

"I promise, today is just a strength test." Carlos promised.

Just "today" anyway.

When Zhou Yu opened the door, he saw Mo Ye lying on the ground bored, and as soon as he heard Zhou Yu's footsteps, he straightened up and followed Zhou Yu.
