Chapter 9: Ouyang Valley

Not long after Liu Ye returned to his room, someone suddenly knocked on the door, Liu Ye opened the door and saw that Ouyang Gu was standing outside the door, smiling evilly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"What's wrong?" asked Liu Ye.

"Your talent has spread and the whole organization knows about it. Ouyang Gu said.

Liu Ye looked to the side helplessly, although he had already guessed this result, he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Let's talk?"

"Come in first. Liu Ye retreated behind the door and made way for Ouyang Gu.

Ouyang Gu walked to the sofa chair and sat down with a big grin, and made a "please" gesture to Liu Ye.

Liu Ye silently sat down across from him.

Ouyang Gu said: "You still don't trust us. ”

Liu Ye smiled and said, "It's not distrustful, I like the feeling of staying with you guys." ”

Ouyang Gu continued to speak to himself as if he hadn't heard his words: "I think it's normal to be distrustful, after all, you have been in contact with us for a short time, even Shi Lan, who has been with you the most, has only been with you for just five days, and it is indeed a bit too difficult for you to believe in a mysterious organization that dragged you from your original residence into the magic world. ”

Liu Ye looked directly at Ouyang Gu's eyes hidden behind his sunglasses and said, "What do you want to say?"

"I want to say, please treat us as your companions. Ouyang Gu tapped the table with the index finger of his right hand, making a crisp clicking sound.

Liu Ye looked at him silently.

"I know you have a lot of concerns, but those are unnecessary, and you can trust us. Ouyang Gu took out a document and put it on the table, Liu Ye glanced at it, it was about his personal information.

"Century Dawn is not a school, not a summer resort, but a serious organization of magicians, and an elite organization. Before going to you, we did a lot of research to find out your family background and interpersonal relationships. Maybe you don't like it, but I won't hide it from you, because that's the 'dawn of the century' and that's our job. Ouyang Gu's face no longer had that cheap smile, but instead it was serious.

He propped his hands on the table, face to face with Liu Ye: "I know, your past is not as simple as it is on your file, why did a person who used to work so hard suddenly become decadent and suddenly gave up the ideals he had pursued for many years, there must be some unknown reason." ”

After speaking, Ouyang Gu put on his signature smile again, and leaned back on the back of the chair: "But we're not interested, if you don't want to tell us, we won't investigate." ”

Liu Ye stared at the documents on the table and said, "What you said is not enough to make me believe in you. ”

"yes, it's not enough. Ouyang Gu changed the topic, "Liu Ye, do you know how each of us entered the 'Century Dawn'?"

"Huh?"

"I, Fourier, Shi Lan, Zeng Chen, and the eldest sister Tang Yin, all lost their parents in an accident fifteen years ago, and before that, they were all members of the 'Century Dawn'. ”

Liu Ye was taken aback.

"At that time, Zeng Chen, me and Fu Liye had just turned ten years old, the eldest sister was slightly older, thirteen years old, and Shi Lan was only four or five years old, and she had no ability to live at all. ”

Shilan, don't you have two parents...... It is hard for Liu Ye to imagine that she is so lively and has such a miserable childhood.

"Here, we spent a relatively happy childhood together, everyone fought and played, and the pain of losing both parents gradually left us in a harmonious daily life. At the same time, Mr. Yan has given us countless resources, and our magical attainments have grown rapidly. But later, unconsciously, we also did the work that our parents used to do. Ouyang Gu closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, falling into memory.

"Follow-up investigations, covert infiltrations, and, assassinations. ”

Assassination? Liu Ye's face changed slightly.

"It was only when I received my first assassination mission that I really understood what kind of place 'Century Dawn' was. Ouyang Gu looked at Liu Ye calmly, "This is a secret service organization, and we are all agents of the magic world. ”

Liu Ye's heart sank, and he asked, "Mu Shilan, has she also killed someone?"

"Haha, that's not true. Ouyang Gu smiled, "Actually, he hasn't done anything yet, and among the five people here, only me and the eldest sister have killed someone." ”

For some reason, Liu Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shilan's girl is an innocent magical girl. Ouyang Gu seemed to see through the thoughts in his heart, "Going to you is her first mission, she has never been involved in these things before. ”

"First mission?" Liu Ye frowned, "Although I don't know exactly how serious the attack you are talking about until now, this mission doesn't seem to be a low-level mission, why did you let her go?"

"I don't know very much about that. "I always thought that Mr. Yan would not let her participate in these tasks anymore. ”

"Why are you telling me this?"

"I said, we are your companions. Since they are companions, there is nothing to hide. I feel like you're someone you can trust. ”

The two fell silent, Liu Ye stood up and went to open the door, Ouyang Gu smiled bitterly, stood up and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Shi Lan's voice came from a distance outside the door, probably on the first floor, she seemed to be very excited to tell the eldest sister Tang Yin what a powerful apprentice she had accepted.

Liu Ye had a hesitant look on his face, he gritted his teeth and closed the door.

Ouyang Gu smiled and sat down on the sofa again.

"I don't know what to say. Liu Ye sat on the ground against the wall, "Last week I was still an ordinary person, an ordinary office worker who used to study hard and struggled, loved exercise but has gradually been smoothed out by life, and has no friends, and my daily dream is to return to my small apartment as soon as possible, play games, sleep and sleep, and occasionally eat some supper to indulge." I have also fantasized about the plot of such novels, such as when I suddenly travel to another world and transform into the protagonist of Long Aotian with a special bloodline, or one day I have a flash of inspiration and make a scientific discovery that can win the Nobel Prize, but when all this suddenly happened to me, when Shilan and Smith came to me, when Shilan said that I have this incredible talent, my brain was completely blank, but I didn't want to accept it, it was to escape from reality. I have lost the courage to take risks, and I have lost my blood, just like Ye Gong Haolong, I finally got what I dreamed of, but I was afraid of everything behind it. ”

Ouyang Gu walked over and squatted in front of Liu Ye, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Cheer up Liu Ye." Your past isn't as bad as you say, and while you didn't succeed in saving her, that shouldn't be a reason for you to give up on yourself. You are a very good person, you have an extraordinary calmness and caution, and now you have a talent for magic that is unparalleled, and you can get a completely different world by just taking a step forward. ”

"Only the weak will take a step back in the face of strength and responsibility, and the strong will step forward to hold it. ”

"Hmph, are you a master of hypnosis?" Liu Ye smiled and stretched out his right fist.

Ouyang Gu also smiled, and the two bumped fists.

From now on, they are companions.

"I'm leaving. Ouyang Gu opened the door.

"Wait, I have one more question for you. Liu Ye grabbed the corner of Ouyang Gu's clothes, "I want to know who you mean by 'we'." ”

"I, Fourier, the eldest sister, Zeng Chen, and Shi Lan. ”

There is no Yan Heling.

With a "snap", the door slammed shut.

Liu Ye sat on the ground, the plush carpet covered the ground very comfortably and warmly, not like autumn at all.

He just sat all the time, leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, doing nothing, thinking about nothing.

It's been a tiring few days.

"Liu Ye-" Half-asleep, Liu Ye heard Shilan's voice again, but this time it was very close, as if it was just outside the door separated by a wall. Liu Ye glanced at the wall clock, half past twelve, wouldn't it?

"Liu Ye—"

Shi Lan's voice sounded very strange, the tone dragged out, and even the tone changed, Liu Ye opened the door, and Shi Lan lay face down on the ground.

"Hey, what are you?" Liu Ye hurriedly helped her up, Shi Lan's face was flushed, like a ripe peach, "Are you drunk?"

Liu Ye approached Shi Lan's cheek and sniffed it, and said to himself, "No, this is not any alcohol." ”

"Liu-Ye-" A slightly hoarse female voice sounded, and Liu Ye couldn't help but shudder.

As soon as she raised her head, Tang Yin looked at him with an unkind face, her eyes seemed to be looking at a dead person.

With a wave of his hand, a purple jade flute appeared in Tang Yin's hand.

"Wait, wait, wait! I'm checking her breathing. Liu Ye was so frightened that he couldn't speak, after Ouyang Gu told him that Tang Yin had killed someone just now, now he had no doubt that his life might end at the hands of this irascible woman at any time.

Tang Yin snorted coldly and put away the jade flute.

Seeing that the eldest sister had calmed down, Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's wrong with Shilan? She doesn't have any alcohol on her, why does she look like she's drunk." ”

"She's not drinking, it's this. Tang Yin threw Liu Ye a small bottle with a blue liquid, "This is a potion made of dream flowers, and the magician made this kind of thing because of the protection of magic power, ordinary alcohol will not work, so he made this kind of thing, and the effect is almost the same." ”

Liu Ye shook the vial in his hand, the liquid in it was crystal clear, and it didn't look bad.

"She's never touched her before, and seeing that she talked too much today, I gave her a sip of it, but I didn't expect it. The corners of Tang Yin's mouth twitched slightly, "She is so happy today because of you stinky boy, if you don't study hard, you will feel better, Shi Lan will not teach you a lesson, I will not be soft." ”

Liu Ye looked at Shi Lan, who had fallen asleep in a daze, with mixed feelings, she didn't expect that she would be so happy because of her talent.

"Alright, leave her to me. Tang Yin took Shi Lan from Liu Ye's arms, "You rest early, get up tomorrow and come down for breakfast." ”

"Having breakfast...... Eh!" Tang Yin's words made Liu Ye stunned for a moment, he came back to his senses and wanted to say something, but Tang Yin had already carried Shilan upstairs.

Liu Ye touched his stomach, he didn't know how he spent the three days when he fell asleep, but in the two days he was awake, except for the meal he ate before coming here, and the bowl of egg custard made by Shi Lan this morning, he hadn't eaten anything else.

It's a miracle that he didn't starve to death.

"Alas, eldest sister head her," Liu Ye closed the door and looked up at the ceiling, "It's not that cruel as it looks." ”
