night

It's quiet, it's hazy, it's even a little unreal, but it's so beautiful......

The silvery moonlight fell on the ground, and the silence of the night had quietly enveloped everything. In the soft white light, everything seems more hazy, giving people an illusion:

Everything around us is unreal...

…

At some point, an unknown meteor crossed the dark sky, and the dazzling white light was impressive.

But in an instant, its light had quietly dimmed, and soon the sky had regained its mysterious color.

Nothing just now, it seems, has never happened......

In the corner of the garden, no one noticed, and a white shadow quietly disappeared, like a gust of wind, and the shade of the trees suddenly rustled.

After a long time, there was a voice that seemed to be in the world: "The reincarnation of the gods, the elephant of the phoenix in Kyushu ......"

In the pond, I don't know when a white lotus quietly fell, the jade-like color and elegant lotus fragrance all confirm the traces of someone who stayed just now.

Soon, the color of the white lotus gradually became transparent, until it finally turned into a wisp of white smoke and dissipated into the air, perhaps because it was because of the reason for leaving its owner......

"Mo... Could it be... Could it be... She! Coming back? The beautiful side face was obviously full of surprise, but there was a sense of affirmation in his tone.

S City

At night, the criss-crossing traffic facilities, busy streets, and blooming neon lights always make people unable to extricate themselves.

Like, things in the dark are always more seductive than in the light.

In the distance, a tall TV tower, under the twinkling of stars, is even more confusing.

……

It was night, bustling and lively, the bright moon was hanging high, and a grand auction was being held in a high-end building.

The host is in the center of the stage, solemnly announcing the opening speech:

"Distinguished gentlemen and ladies, all of us here today have a very strong interest in cultural relics and ......"

The decoration in the hall is extremely luxurious, and even a vase in the corner of the wall is left by the noble concubine of the Tang Dynasty.

The venue is staggered, the noblewomen are complaining to each other about their husbands' neglects, the new nobles are planning for power and status, and the business ladies are in the crowd, looking forward to an encounter like a prince charming...

No one noticed that in the shadows in the corner, a small figure had sneaked into the direction of the treasure room on the second floor.

……

Although petite, he reacted very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he had flashed to the door of a room in the distance.

This room is unusual, it does not inherit the luxurious style of the hall, but it is very ancient and simple!

Even in terms of furnishings, it is much more chic than the hall just now, but all this does not move the girl in the slightest.

After confirming that there was no infrared light in the room, it was a search, and it seemed that the builder was very confident in his external layout, and sneered.

It's not a good thing to be too arrogant, but it's just cheapening yourself!

With a sharp gaze, he swept at random, and on the table on the side, he found a simple and elegant rosewood box.

The patterns on the wooden box are extremely cumbersome, and there are some unknown strange totems engraved on it. It seems that it may have been carved in a long time ago.

Not to mention that at that time, even now, if the beasts on it can be portrayed so realistically and expressively, I'm afraid there are few people who can do it!

The material of the box, it seems that there is something special there, but it can't be said, and you can vaguely feel that there is some unknown powerful power inside.

But......

Why does this box seem to be placed here on purpose? If it is so conspicuous, it will definitely make people worry about it!

Just as the girl was seriously looking at the mysterious wooden box, a brown-haired man dressed in black stretched out a large slender and powerful hand from the shadows and clasped her delicate wrist fiercely.
