Chapter 35: Pointy Ears?
Night-
"If the quilt is in the drawer, when it is cold at night, when you close the window, remember to pull it up, and then exert force, like this......" After saying that, with a bang, Meimei closed the window, and then pushed it open, and then took the two of them around: "The room will be cleaned every day, and the garbage can be thrown at the door, and ...... From here to the corridor you can see the sunrise, the view is very good, I think you live here to earn it! ”
"Hmm...... If you have any questions, you can call me, I live in the room on the second floor closest to the left, if there is no problem, I will go down first, it is my turn to clean the apartment today. ~With~Dream~Small~Say~щww~mеng~lā"
"But Meimei, aren't you injured today?"
"Ah, it's okay, Sister Vivien, it's just a minor injury." As she spoke, Mei Mei took Vivian's hand and pointed to the bruises on her face: "It's not too early, Brother Ah Yi and Sister Vivian should rest early." Then she said goodbye to the two of them, and the girl's bouncing figure turned and walked up the stairs, and Vivien stood in the doorway, shaking her hand in the direction she had left, and it could be seen that she was in a good mood.
Retracting her gaze, Vivian took off her coat and lay on the bed, stretched her waist, swept the fluffy tail hair behind her, and hummed a small tune: "Hmm~~hum~~hum~~" This is her very happy expression, her eyes fell on the smiling girl, and her mood was rendered, and she couldn't help but become happy, since he left the village, he rarely saw Vivian so happy.
I have to be grateful to Mei Mei for this little ghost, he thought, shook his head, and then began to pack his luggage, remembering the moment he was brought into the apartment by Mei Mei, he really felt stunned.
Of course, this is not a picture that is too difficult to understand, but Shen Yi was inevitably surprised when he saw a large family composed almost entirely of orc children, because since he left the village, he had rarely encountered orcs.
However, the statement that it is all orc children is not accurate, listening to Mei Mei, I know that this is supported by a girl named Haiyin, similar to the place of the orphanage, of course, the orphanage is not all right, because this apartment is open to passing travelers, but the location here is too remote, and the second is that all the orcs who live here, even if the rent is pressed again and again, few people come to live.
Unlike Mei Mei, most of the children who live here don't know anything, when they see him as a human, they can clearly read a love similar to fear in their eyes, and when Mei Mei talks about it, Vivien, who can't bear it, takes off her hat and sees Vivien, who is also dressed as an orc, the children's fear is slightly reduced, and then Vivien quickly becomes familiar with the children.
Shen Yi took the time to meet with the girl named Haiyin, who was an ordinary orc girl, wearing a simple long dress, and talked about the origin of the two and their plans to live here, Haiyin didn't ask much why, maybe it was because someone was finally willing to live in this apartment, so Haiyin didn't ask them in detail about their origins.
By the time he had packed his luggage, Vivian had fallen asleep soundly on the bed, he lay on the side of the bed, quietly looked at her side face, and his eyes softened, she was really forcing herself, covering the quilt for Vivian, and then Shen Yi quietly left the room, and met Mei Mei who was cleaning in the hall on the first floor of the apartment, and then said a few words, and Shen Yi walked out of the apartment.
Looking at the dimly lit night scene, all sorts of thoughts began to converge, and then went blank again, and this place was after all very different from his previous world, passing through the slightly bleak streets, and then his figure disappeared into the shadows without a sound......
***********************************************************************************************
A little farther away from Atlas, the moonlight shone down, and on one side was the brightly lit city, and on the other side was the empty wilderness, where the lights could not reach, the silence of the people was removed, and the low bushes fell a shadow, one after another, and it was difficult to tell what was what, and the swaying branches and leaves swayed, and the road signs on the side were crooked, and the dirt road was uneven.
In the night without any light, the sound of the wind suppressed in the shadows sounded, and the black figure rushed out from one side, piercing through the dense woods without slowing down at any speed, and the dodging figure was like a ghost, or it walked sideways, drawing an elegant curve like an arc, or jumped up on the trunk of a tree, and catapulted higher into the air, but no matter what the action, the swift figure left only traces that were difficult for the eye to catch.
At the end of the sudden opening, the open space appeared in front of him, with a slight force under his feet, his fist rushed out, and the moment he stopped was accompanied by the action of punching, popping, the figure that stopped abruptly, and the air that was cut open made a sound.
This was the limit of his physical level when he was in the orc village, and now, he slid half a step away with his left foot, without any movement, and then suddenly turned, bang, the hand that was originally punching did not know when it became another, accompanied by a sound like an explosion, and a huge ripple spread out in the air.
Shen Yi exhaled slowly, looking at his hands that had not changed at all and showed a wry smile, what is this? He asked self-deprecatingly in his heart, mixed with doubts surging up in his heart, this had been more than once, and he was strange to the changes in his body, although in terms of results, it was not a bad thing.
Stretched out his five fingers and slowly clenched them, the power contained in them, Shen Yi naturally knew better than anyone else, but it was this clarity, and there was uneasiness in his heart, obviously he didn't deliberately exercise, but the strength, speed and strength in his body gradually improved, whether this change was good or bad, he could naturally say it clearly, but in terms of the result, he naturally had no reason to feel uneasy, however...... After all, it's impossible to think about nothing like before.
Shen Yi understands better than anyone else that "strength" is such a thing, relying on a little bit of accumulation, whether it is exercise, or hardship, after paying sweat, and slowly perceiving the growth of the micro-end, it can be regarded as real strength, which is what we often call pay and harvest.
Of course, this is not necessarily to say anything equivalent exchange or the like, in the so-called growth, the patience and self-restraint in the process of giving can be called the real "strength", this is the old man who passed away taught him the truth, clenched fist does not mean that there is a possibility of change, only people can decide where to extend the clenched fist, if not, it is only an increase of one or two points of strength, in the world, it is only an increase in the "non-human" existence zài.
He suddenly remembered what the old man said, and the expression on his face when he said it, including helplessness, regret, and expectation for him.
He may not have understood it before, but now he understands it a little, so when looking at this power that grows out of thin air, he is extremely cautious, but he ...... Where does the change come from? After thinking about it, his hand immediately clenched his chest, and the only thing that could explain it was probably the black key hanging on his chest.
Before he could think about it, his eyes narrowed and looked ahead to the left, the night wind coldly rolled up the fallen leaves, and there was a faint sound that was not very clear, and he closed his eyes, mixed with the ...... in the air messy and hurried footsteps, and behind them...... A subtle movement looming, huh? Killer? He thought that the figure that had been standing in the clearing suddenly disappeared without a trace.
It didn't take long, the footsteps from far and near gradually became clear, ho-huh-, the rolling movement exploded with a sudden firelight, the sparks scattered in all directions, and among the scattered points of light, the trotting figure escaped from the woods, his whole body was shrouded in a cloak, and he couldn't see his face clearly, the wolf figure immediately raised his hand and pressed down at the moment he turned around, Shen Yi couldn't help frowning, and then appeared in his sight was a rather strange scene, The scattered flames regrouped and stood behind those who had escaped, burning like a wall of fire that separated her from the road.
Shen Yi couldn't help but be surprised, this was the first time he had seen such a strange picture of manipulating flames in this world, but it was just ...... It probably won't work.
Then his gaze fell on the rising flames, and a silver light pierced through the flames, and shot out, but the man in the cloak was obviously a little clumsy, grabbed the clothes on his body with one hand, and dodged wolfly, and the whole person rolled twice on the ground, where she had been standing, a strangely shaped silver dagger was stuck in the ground, and the flames dispersed.
Under the moonlight, when she raised her head again, the face hidden under the cloak was also revealed, it was a woman who could be described as a national color and heavenly fragrance, with a moth head and eyebrows, and slightly curly long white hair draped over her shoulders, his gaze swept over her face, and couldn't help but stay in her ear, that was ...... Pointy ears?
The woman looked at the dagger with a pale face, froze for a moment, and then, as if realizing something, suddenly shouted in the same direction
"Who the hell are you, I am...... Yes! ”
In response to her, the silver light shot from the darkness again, and in a hurry she erected a wall of wind to block her, and then the wolf bèi got up unbearably, but the dagger that flew in the air slashed dangerously past her side face, and the cold touch made her scream, and she didn't dare to stop any longer, and ran away with all her strength, and after her, the figure shrouded in black jumped out of the woods.
Shen Yi just glanced at it, shook his head helplessly, and didn't know whether it was intentional or not, the woman who stumbled ran away in the direction where he was, but there was no hesitation, he thought lightly in his heart, and immediately swept towards the two black-clothed people like ghosts......
