The moonlight, as white as a mist, floated hazy in the air, softening everything as far as the eye could see. The pitch-black ruins seemed to come to life, breathing low in the silence. A long song sounded in the distance from nowhere, misty like a dream, both beautiful and a little frightening.

Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a while, and suddenly couldn't help but shed a tear. She hurriedly reached out and wiped it, and when the back of her hand accidentally touched her beard, she was suddenly startled and woke up.

Looking around, Kiyokuru was sitting next to her—they didn't know when they sat down or how long they had been sitting.

In the misty white mist, his calm face was like a lake under the moon, which made people look at it, and he involuntarily let go of his breath, for fear of disturbing him. A teardrop gently cut down Qingjiu's cheek, shining in the moonlight.

Lin Sanjiu's gaze became confused again, and he turned his head in a daze, looking at the darkness in the distance.

humming in a low voice, leisurely tracing a tune that has never been heard before; It seems to follow the heart of man, and as long as man's life does not stop, it can be sung like this forever.

…… Time is in a blur, and its meaning is obliterated.

"I mean, what the hell are you two doing?" As a piece of gravel on his head was violently lifted, a face that was red with anger reached in, and it really looked like a snake: "...... I've been waiting for you all night, and you're not even a fart—"

The humming voice suddenly rose softly, and the stabbing figure was stunned. Looking up, the flush on his face gradually subsided.

"W-What is this......" He didn't look at the two candidates sitting on the ground, and only muttered vaguely.

The melody is softly enchanting, as if there is a hint of foreign origin. The darkness in the ruins in front of him seemed to have faded because of the melodious singing, as if it was finally about to reveal the things hidden in the darkness.

As soon as the steel bar was half broken under his feet, a spirit woke up when he stabbed Tuden; He looked at the two people with his back to him, and hurriedly took two steps to the side of Qing Jiuliu, who could speak: "Hey, how are you-"

As soon as his gaze fell on the latter's face, Thorn Tu suddenly held his breath. The voice was lowered. It was vague and eventually dissipated into the air.

He watched Qing Jiu for a few seconds in a daze, as if he had lost his words because of this dazzling starlight, and slowly bent down. With two other people. Sitting side by side on a large rock. Foolishly, he stared into the darkness in the distance.

Slowly coming out of the darkness, no one knows what it is, but it is so beautiful that people can't help but cry.

…… It is the colorful reflection of sunlight in the sea. It is the lightness of the wild deer jumping from the grassland, and the transparent hope that keeps people alive in this world.

Lin Sanjiu's face was already wet with tears, and she whimpered like a baby who had just found her mother's arms, looking at the shadow that came out of the darkness without blinking; The shadow walked around them lightly, and finally stopped in front of Kiyokuru, who was sitting in the middle, and slowly reached out towards him.

The moment she was touched by "her", it must be supreme-

"Wake up."

A voice that suddenly sounded from the depths of his mind made Lin Sanjiu shake. She looked at the dark shadow, and was a little confused for a while; The voice just now opened his mouth coolly: "...... It's not okay to meet such a small thing, you still need to hone your willpower a little more. ”

Lin Sanjiu sniffed, and his reason, which had almost melted into a piece of tenderness like a buoy, came to his senses again in an instant; She had just jumped up, and before she could turn her gaze to see what was going on, the voice in her head gently stopped her: "Don't turn your head." ”

"Huh?" At this moment, Lin Sanjiu finally realized who he was hearing: "...... Yi, Yi, teacher! You're back - are you alright? ”

"Well, I'm fine." The voice chuckled softly.

Lin Sanjiu's heart was pounding, and she forced herself to lower her eyelids—in her afterglow, the shadow seemed to pause slightly because of her movements, and slowly stepped back a little; She busily asked in her head, "What's 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 Kiyokuru?

Lin Sanjiu was a little stunned, but still raised her eyes as she said.

In the crumbling ruins, the moonlight fell through the cracks, light as layers of veil, but enough for her to see the thing in front of her.

…… It was much smaller than she had imagined, about the length of an adult's arm; Under a large, shriveled skull, the shriveled tan skin clung to the ribs shaped like a human chest and a vertebrae. In the part that connects the vertebrae, something like a fish's tail gradually sticks out.

"This—This is a merfolk?"

Lin Sanjiu was startled in his heart, and then he heard Qing Jiuliu also let out a low cry - it seemed to be interrupted by her movements, the singing just now had already stopped for a while, and the other two people finally regained their senses.

The ugly little mermaid, who looked like a dried specimen, also realized that what was not good at the moment, and turned around and was about to rush back into the darkness; It's just that since he has seen it, how can he just let it go - Lin Sanjiu kicked under his feet, and he had already covered its retreat.

"This should be a special item, you can try carding it." Teacher Yi reminded her lightly and coldly.

…… Special items?

The surprise in Lin Sanjiu's heart only rose, but his hand had already subconsciously opened the [Flat World], and then hit the mermaid's back hard.

With a "snap", the mermaid disappeared into her palm.

"Did you catch it?" Kiyokuru also ran over behind him, "What the hell is that?" ”

Lin Sanjiu glanced down at the card in his hand. She suddenly smiled bitterly in her heart—she couldn't speak because she was also present, so she simply handed the card to Kiyokuru from under the black cloth and motioned for them to take a look at it too.

A long face of Thorn Tu quickly poked up from Kiyokuru's shoulder, and after looking at it for a while, his mouth gradually rounded.

【Fantastic Creatures Exhibition #12】

World-renowned fantasy writers are going to book signings here! In order to create an environment that meets the expectations of the writers, the mall has specially created many models and specimens of fantastical creatures for the book signing. Although the end of the day has come on the day of the book signing, it has to be said that the shopping mall's efforts have not been in vain - the No. 12 exhibit Sairen has turned into a self-propelled special item, which is really unexpected.

It's a special item with a foot on the ground. Like in the legends. Exhibit No. 12 honestly bewitches humanity with its singing. But unlike the legend, because the exhibitors made it particularly ugly, without the bewitching beauty of the Siren, the power of exhibit No. 12 was greatly reduced; Whatever the alarm is. All have the potential to wake people up from its confusion.

Since it is a self-propelled special item. Exhibit No. 12 is influenced by nature (?) Driven by the Force. Aspire (?) To bewitch a beautiful woman with an amazing face (?) ), using the opponent's appearance to give a bonus to his own power; Because of the human beings who are bewitched by it, it is just like the legend. Eventually, she will disappear into the Siren's body - so this beauty will eventually become part of exhibit 12 as well. With beauty, the power of exhibit 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 an item depends entirely on whether and how good the user looks and how good it looks.

"So, is it all your little white face that harmed you!" Thorn Tu shook the card in his hand, and said fiercely to Qingjiu Liu: "I'm just weird, I remember that I came to my senses once, and I was just about to come over to call you, but when I looked at your face, I didn't know how to be confused again......"

Lin Sanjiu also agreed in her heart - as soon as she turned her head after she came to her senses, she was attracted by Qing Jiuliu's face, and then she indulged in it again, almost without the slightest resistance.

"I'm the victim." Kiyokuru muttered, his eyebrows furrowed tightly: "I just have a question - when it comes to 'beauty', why is this card a question mark here?" What does it mean? ”

If he hadn't been able to speak, Lin Sanjiu really wanted to scold him, "Don't make trouble."

Thorn Tu also seemed to be a little unable to stand him, threw the card back to Lin Sanjiu, and said in a rough voice: "I thought you two had some great plan, but it turned out to be two fools!" I'm too lazy to follow you anymore, so hurry up and find me a trial target, and get moving now! ”

was called a fool by the thorn picture, and both of them were a little difficult to accept for a while; Just before Qing Jiuliu could say something, Thorn Tu suddenly strode up and shouted at him: "Reach out!" ”

Kiyohisa smacked his mouth and lazily stretched out a hand; Thorn Tu dragged it over, "snapped", and immediately made him scream in pain; Qing Jiuliu hurriedly shook his hand a few times, and when he looked again, there was already an extra blood spot on the tip of his finger.

"This is to prevent you from running around, and generally speaking, it is only given after the first-level candidate has made the first action in order to complete the trial goal." Thorn Tu said as he motioned for Lin Sanjiu to also stretch out his hand: "...... But I've never seen such a candidate like you, I won't wait, you hurry up and reach out! ”

I can't do it without showing my hands now.

Lin Sanjiu gritted his teeth and gently stretched out half of his index finger from under the black cloth; Only one fingertip is exposed, and the other party shouldn't be able to notice the difference between himself and a man, right?

Thorn Diagram glanced at her finger and frowned.

But he didn't say anything at all, and then pressed Lin Sanjiu's finger - I don't know what he was holding in his hand, so she gasped in pain, and when she raised her hand, a little red was slowly oozing from her fingertips.

…… Something seemed to sink swiftly into the bottom of her skin.

Probably fed up with these two candidates, Thorn Tu turned around and flipped out of the gap after he had ordered them something they didn't know - it sounded like he didn't want to come back for a short time from the tone he said before leaving.

"What did he call me?" As soon as Thorn Tu walked on his front foot, Lin Sanjiu immediately asked a little nervously in his mind.

"Don't worry, it's a positioning, I can let that gadget be drained the way it came at any time - but not yet, if it is discharged, the other party will find out." Teacher Yi said with a bit of laziness.

Lin Sanjiu breathed a sigh of relief slightly-Teacher Yi came back this time, and it seemed that she was a little stronger than before, which made her feel much more confident; She was finally able to ask, "Teacher Yi, how is the battle between you and Nuwa's consciousness?" Didn't you say that the combination of genes and consciousness has a particularly strong impact? ”

"Thanks to you," Teacher Yi said with a smile, "...... Probably because you are a growth type, your consciousness is even stronger than I thought, and now you have temporarily suppressed Nuwa's consciousness - but I don't know when it will come back, so we can't relax yet. ”

That's right...... Lin Sanjiu bit his lip.

Just when she was about to ask something, she suddenly felt that her shoulder was stabbed by Qingjiu: "Hey! ”

Lin Sanjiu was stunned: "Huh? ”

"Ah what, get me a bottle of wine." Kiyokuru scratched his face, leaving a few red marks on his face that made people look at him in a daze for ten minutes. "Well, don't Chivas Regal, net fake wine......"

Lin Sanjiu simply took out several bottles in a row for him to pick by himself, and put the rest away; Just thinking about it, she suddenly called out the [Fantasy Creature Exhibition #12 Exhibit], and after removing the card, she threw it into Qing Jiuliu's arms.

"What for?" Holding a bottle of wine in one hand and a mermaid in the other, Kiyokuru asked a little embarrassed.

"A person like you, who has been immersed in tobacco and alcohol all day long, may die one day," Lin Sanjiu climbed the boulder first, and said as he climbed outward...... It's rare that there is something that allows you to survive by your face, forget it for you, I'm not a big beauty anyway. ”

"You look good...... Actually, it's okay," Qing Jiuliu forced himself to comfort her, but Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but be a little angry - when he climbed out of the ruins, he didn't forget to pour a sip of wine: "But in this way, I have to shave every day, alas......"

"And even if you're going to drink until you fall unconscious, you'll have to hold it - don't hold it now! That guy is already singing! Lin Sanjiu felt that his brain was confused, and he immediately drank a sentence to Qingjiu. The latter quickly let go, thought for a moment, pulled a shoelace from his foot, tied the mermaid who had just closed his mouth to the waistband of his trousers, and put it in his pocket.

When these things were done and then looked up, Qing Jiuliu found that Lin Sanjiu was still standing in a daze.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Sanjiu turned his head, and he couldn't see what her expression was under the black cloth.

"Come to think of it, this mermaid...... I can only sing. Her voice was soft, and a little dazed. …… So what was the whistle we heard at the beginning? (To be continued.) )
