Broken souls

"I'm back." The sleeper pushed open the door of the lounge and went straight in, and his steps were stunned. She frowned as Shen Yuan sent a purple ball of light into Xu Ying's body little by little, and the latter floated in the air with his eyes closed.

"What are you doing?" The sleeper tilted his head.

The ball of light was completely sent into Xu Ying's body, and Shen Yuan reached out to catch Xu Ying, who was slowly falling, and put it on the bed, and smiled at the sleeping owl.

The sleeper smiled back and unconsciously took a step back.

"Do you remember the first day you came to Yin Yin?"

The sleeper's fingers ran across his face.

————————————————

Shen Yuan obtained the files of the new members from the pirates.

"Sleeping owls." She frowned slightly, looking at the girl with short silver hair who was smiling forcibly in the photo. The red pupil in the center of the blue iris is very conspicuous.

Not long after, the new member was transferred from the pirate base.

After simply sending away the group of pirates who were escorting, Shen Yuan looked at the little girl in front of him with a white complexion and squinted his eyes.

It's a blue-blooded little girl of the Snow Spirit Clan.

"You're the sleeping owl?" She frowned.

“… Be. The sleeper nodded and smiled.

"So," Shen Yuan flipped through the file a few times, without raising his head, "Introduce yourself." ”

"Okay." The sleeper forced a forced smile, "I've been in the Obi organization for a long time...... Combat is mainly with the use of firearms. Understand a little electromechanical and simple medical care. ”

There is no conflict with the archive. Shen Yuan's gaze darkened, and he tore off a page and handed it to her.

The sleeper took it with both hands and unfolded it. There was a map printed on the paper.

"I have other things to do today," Shen Yuan tucked the stack of files under his armpit, "You have a flat map of the Beagle Star in your hand." You follow the map to find the Yin Yin base first, and when you get there, wait for me in the hall. I'll make other arrangements for you when I'm done with the rest of my business. ”

The sleeper tilted his head as he looked at the map.

……

"Is that all there is..."

Yin Yan's new base on Beagle was darker than before, but the sleeping owl didn't know this.

After all, it was the first time that we had gone from that pirate base that smelled of engine oil and rust to a place controlled by elves.

Black is black, the sleeper thought.

Sleeping Xiao once had an older brother named Jun Ci, and the brother and sister were the elves of the Snow Spirit Clan. Because they were born with blue eyes but a pair of red pupils, and in the tradition of the Snow Spirit Clan, red is regarded as the representative color of demons, so the sleeping owl siblings were discriminated against by some elves of the same clan. Later, the Demon Spirit Clan and the Snow Spirit Clan went to war, and on the way to escape, the sleeping owl's brother died. The sleeping owl was captured by the space pirates and brought to the base, where he was trained as a slave elf because of his cooperation, and learned some electronic technology and sniper skills.

And now, as Yin Yan's so-called alliance partner, the sleeping owl was "given" to Yin Yan like an alliance gift.

"From now on, you will be a member of Yin Yan. - You know what happens to betrayal. The corner of Xue Meng's eyes was like a sword with a sharp point, and she stabbed the sleeping owl fiercely.

"Good, good! I, I, I won't... Betrayal. The sleeping owl stepped back a little in a bit of a panic, subconsciously grabbed the elastic band of the hoodie, and glanced up at Xue Meng.

Xue Meng's shadow was hidden in a shadow, and there was only the sleeping owl himself in the emptiness.

A gust of wind blowing through the hall sent chills down people's spine.

The switch was flicked, and the room instantly lit up, and a purple-haired elf with pigtails was standing against the wall, looking at the sleeper from afar.

So there are electric lights here! Why didn't you open it just now!

The other party's purple-blue eyes were a little dim, just looking at the sleeping owl.

"I ...... I'm a new member, my name is Sleepy. May I ask you what is your name? The sleeper bit his lower lip and looked at the elf who had a strange face and was still very tall in the white light.

"Puppet." It replied, its voice as if it had some kind of power that could freeze the atmosphere.

“…。 Okay, please take care of me when you first see you......" The sleeping owl took a half step back without a trace.

The puppet flicked its gray cloak, making a rattling sound in the wind. The cloak streaked a dark gray trail in the air, and after a few light steps, the puppet turned around and disappeared around the corner, purple hair skimming a shallow arc in the air.

Seeing that it turned around and walked away, the sleeping owl let out a sigh, she turned around and patted her face that was hot from nervousness, "Oh, how can such a big elf still be nervous because of one communicating with others," she took another deep breath, "Wait, that elf..." It's a man and a woman.... ”

Shen Yuan hasn't come back yet. The base hall was empty, and the sleeper pulled a stool and sat down at a table by the wall, looking at the marble table top that was reflected in the white light, "It seems that it might as well be darker..." ”

She pulled out a handful of chocolate candy, peeled off the candy wrapper and ate one, the hard chocolate clattering between her upper and lower teeth, and it was terrifyingly loud in the empty hall.

"What the hell is ...... place"

When she noticed an elf approaching behind her, another spirit stood up and turned to face the other, and a little purple-haired girl in a shawl who was more than half a head shorter than the sleeping owl was looking up at her.

The same dim purple eyes stared at the sleeping owl's heart.

Then she held out her hand to the sleeper.

"Ah, are you, do you want chocolate candy......" Sleepy Owl gave her one, and acted very carefully.

The other party still looked at her like that.

"So, it's not good to be insatiable, I don't have much in total, and this is very ......" Sleepy owl watched as the other party pulled out the pistol on his waist and loaded it and pointed the muzzle at her head, his voice shaking unconsciously, "...... It's hard to get ...... Do...... to ......"

"It's just sugar, isn't it...?" The muscles on the sleeping owl's face twitched, and she grabbed a handful of candy stuffs for Mo Ying, "Don't, don't do this..." ”

So Mo Ying put away the gun, put the candy in his pocket, and pulled out a candy.

The sleeping owl watched in amazement as she ate the candy wrapper without peeling it and chewed it and made a clicking sound, much louder than she had just said. Then he just chewed like this, and walked away without saying a word.

"Wokao is too scary...!!"

Refusing to stay in the hall, the sleeper cautiously tried to take a look at the base structure and planned to wander around.

She stared at the base plan hanging on the wall and frowned, her gaze resting on a small door. "Yin Yan still has a garden? It's a little more intimate than a pirate base. ”

She fumbled around her memory and managed to spot the small garden outside the back door, even though the plants were almost dead. An elf with a double ponytail with his back to the sleeping owl was sitting on an ashlar in a daze.

"Hey, that, I'm a new member, my name is, Sleeping Owl..." The sleeper cautiously said hello and looked at the slightly haggard elf.

As if she had heard, she turned to look back, her dull purple eyes blocked a little by her eyelashes that had drooped due to squinting, and she looked at the sleeper without saying a word.

"There are so many purple-eyed elves in the Yin Death Organization." The sleeper muttered to himself.

The corners of the other party's mouth raised a somewhat distorted arc, and he reluctantly pulled the arc up little by little. The dark clouds were blown by the sudden wind, obscuring the sunlight, which was already only a little brighter behind the clouds, and the surroundings became even darker, making her face extremely gloomy.

This was probably the only elf who had made eye contact with the sleeper with an expression, though she hadn't said anything, and that unprovoked smile in the dimly lit little garden, between the stumps of plants and the fallen flowers that had been crushed and stained with dust...

Super scary!!

The corners of his mouth twitched, and the corners of his mouth raised a seemingly nonchalant arc and smiled back, and the two elves just stared at each other, silently under the dark clouds.

So the smile froze on his face for a while, and the other party returned to his expressionless state and turned back.

“…。” The sleeper turned and walked back to the base through the back door.

……

At night, the sleeper lay in the room that Shen Yuan had assigned to him, wrapped himself in the quilt, and hugged the pillow tightly.

"I think I might as well stay in the pirate base."

————————————————

The genderless elf who turns on the light is a virtual puppet, Mo Hotaru who eats candy and does not peel paper, and Inas who smiles and the sky is dark.

"Do you know why this is happening?" Shen Yuan took a few steps forward, and the sleeping owl took a few steps back with her movements.

"Three hundred years ago...... Shen Yuan's eyes turned, and finally re-fixed on the face of the sleeping owl, "Except for the new members you, Jiu Mu and Leng Yan, all the members of Yin Yan, including me, all died at the hands of the black soul. Three hundred years later, it was the Obi Organization that managed to resurrect us, but all the elves except me were deprived of four of the five parts of their souls, so you can see that those elves are so sick and incomprehensible, and just now, I got the 'emotion' of Xu Ying. ”

The previous guess was correct, Yin Yan was really not as simple as it seemed.

"You did this quietly, what if Xue Meng found out?" The sleeper raised his eyebrows, and his gaze swept over the unconscious Xu Ying on the side.

"I don't expect you to help me," Shen Yuan sat on the bed, his gaze falling on Xu Ying, "But if I'm exposed because of you, I naturally won't let you go." ”

The sleeper swallowed a mouthful of saliva, didn't say anything, and turned to leave the room.
