In Ji You's mind, animals are dangerous.

Fragile and ferocious, they can't say when they will pounce and whimper, or they will keep roaring at a certain safe distance, so that people cannot approach.

Species that can't communicate, Ji You likes it very much, but whether it's his past living environment or his current economic situation, he can't raise small animals.

Shiba Inu Rhubarb is considered to be his real close encounter.

Before falling out of the house in a daze that night, Ji You and his neighbor Uncle Zhang were at most on good terms.

At this time, Ji You also felt dazed, but he drank half a can of beer, drank a little harder, and actually fainted?

Uncle Zhang in front of him had three or two double shadows from time to time, he shook his head and said:

"Old man Zhang, am I drinking too much...... Half in the bag? No, no, no, it can't be...... I haven't ever drunk alcohol, so I shouldn't be so cowardly......"

"Yes, Xiaoyou, you're not drunk." Uncle Zhang said. His eyes casually glanced at the pendant rope exposed from Ji You's collarbone.

Ji You was on the table with his face in one hand, and counted the stars above his head while looking up, "Nine, ten, eleven...... Have you heard of it, old man? When a person dies, he will become a star in the universe, and I feel that rhubarb must be the brightest one before it becomes rhubarb! ”

Uncle Zhang looked at Ji You's excited and sad side face, nodded, and his expression flashed.

“…… Yes, probably. ”

When Ji You was drunk and crazy, he was like a child complaining, he suddenly turned his head and complained:

"Rhubarb always likes to bite me! It still hurts! I almost broke my skin before! ”

“…… It's not right with it. Uncle Zhang lowered his head.

"Rhubarb is gentle with others! Not for me! So fierce to me!! Isn't it jealous that I'm taller than it and more handsome than it! ”

“…… It may be that he likes you and is special to you. Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and at that moment, even the wrinkles on his face were strangely reduced under the moonlight, as if he had just applied a layer of depleting mask.

"Definitely not!" Ji You lay on the table, pressed his left arm, raised his eyes and looked at Uncle Zhang in front of him, and two lines appeared on his head.

"That little one has no conscience, every time I buy snacks for it and come back, I have to feed it myself! It's willing to eat it! And very reluctant!! Whew?! Sister, who wouldn't whine?! ”

“……”

Uncle Zhang's face moved slightly, and his eyes looked at the pendant rope around Ji You's neck again, and said in a low voice: "Maybe it's because it can't eat ......."

But at this moment, Ji You didn't feel anything, and he felt that the cells all over his body were saying that he was sleepy, and even the cool breeze in the middle of the night couldn't wake him up.

Hearing Uncle Zhang say something in a hazy manner, he began to mumble again: "Hehe...... Old man Zhang...... If I had a grandfather...... It must be like you...... That's nice...... Meet you...... And that stinky rhubarb ......"

“……”

Uncle Zhang was shocked, his eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Ji You's silly smile. He never seemed to think that Ji You would see him like this.

I only heard him say intermittently with a sleepy drunkenness:

"That's it...... Not...... It's a pity...... I'm leaving the city...... while following them to work...... While looking for ...... Uncle went...... Old man, you're alone...... Why don't you find a wife...... Raise a ...... Something else......"

In this way, you will not always go to sleep in the middle of the night and come up to think about some little unconscionable animal......

"......" Uncle Zhang did not speak.

After a while, Ji You's small snoring came out. I just don't know what he will think when he wakes up and finds out the cruel fact that he pours alcohol when he gets drunk, and he must be a little far away from a mature man.

A large gray cloud floated in the sky at some point, and finally the little scimitar that covered the moon was gone, and the stars had long since disappeared. Only the sharp corners of Huiyue were not covered, as if they had enough courage to fight these "uninvited guests".

After being silent for a long time, Uncle Zhang finally made a move.

He stretched out his right hand and put it on Ji You's hair tremblingly, only then did he suddenly raise his hand and come back to his senses, and he stared straight at his palm.

The action just made is completely subconscious......

But, sorry, time ...... Not much, really.

The moment this thought appeared, his eyes flashed, and he quickly reached for the pendant rope of someone who was sleeping soundly on the table.

Uncle Zhang's face was overjoyed, he got up, put the cane to the side, used both hands, turned the pendant worn by Ji You in a steady and light direction, took it to his hand to hold it, and finally made a judgment with the only light and the strange feeling that had always been-

There was a lot of energy in it, and it should be what he was looking for.

"Sorry, kid. This pendant may just be an important thing to you...... But for me, it's a lifesaver......"

He took out the lighter from his pocket and prepared to get the pendant off Ji You's neck and take it away.

"Behind the apology, if there is such a purpose—"

Suddenly, a voice that should not have appeared here sounded not far from the two of them in time.

"Then please shut up."

Huiyue finally broke free from the gray clouds, and the faint silver moonlight slowly moved on the terrace to illuminate the range, and immediately, Colonel Chongming's figure was revealed.

And what is very strange is that in addition to his black military uniform, there is a thin white blanket. The corners of the two blankets at the top were hooked on the buttons by the man, one on the left and the other on the right.

There is no doubt that the thin blanket was secretly put on Colonel Chongming by Ji You before he walked out.

There is no doubt that if Chai Qing and others from the Special Operations Department are present at the moment, or EA randomly pulls out someone who has been there for a few years, seeing this scene, there will definitely be a kind of "Tomorrow is the end of the world, God!" The thriller of the incomparably sparkling.

As soon as Chongming's words fell, the lighter in Uncle Zhang's hand was hit to the ground by a light blue light, and the next second I saw the lighter unusually silently combustion, and the dark blue fire jumped half high.

Uncle Zhang was startled again and turned to the other side of Colonel Chongming, which was closer to them, but Uncle Zhang didn't notice anything wrong at all at first.

I saw the man standing on the low wall separating the two terraces, and said with some regret:

"Hmph, I thought I was the only one who saved the beauty tonight. How? Did the colonel of the alliance come up on a whim for a routine inspection? Or rather......"

Chongming's sharp gaze turned to Wang Lan, the manager of the Golden Horde, who had arrived a few seconds later.

He stared at the white blanket on Chongming's body with a smile, and said the following words: "Or, the colonel's conscience seems to have a feeling, and he thinks that Ji You, a newcomer, has a special meaning to you or the entire alliance?" ”

"-Ah, that's not right, Colonel Shigeaki has no heart, how could he think of this level, you say?"

Chongming's expression fluctuated for a moment, and he looked at Wang Lan expressionlessly, and then ignored him.

At this time, when Uncle Zhang saw such a scene, he also put down the pendant in his hand, and gently put it back for Ji You.

Seeing this, Chongming took a few steps forward and said to Uncle Zhang:

"That pendant was used by his uncle to ward off evil spirits, and it can't save your life."

"—Inugami."
