The breeze blows and the water ripples.

Mo You moved the old man, who was not in good health, to the shade of the woods.

After some careful examination, Mo You confirmed that the old man was fine, and then got up and walked to the lake.

"December 1998...... So, I've been there for a year and a half, has it been that long? ”

Mo You sighed in a low voice.

The immersion in the ruins made him lose his sense of the passage of time.

Just like that, back and forth, it has stepped on the tail of 1998.

"Take a shower first, then find a place to charge your phone."

Moyu came to the lake, took off his clothes, and put some belongings, including his mobile phone, on the grass.

Shortly after entering the ruins, the phone ran out of battery and turned off automatically.

More than a year has passed, and I don't know if the phone can still be used.

Moyomai waded into the water.

At this time, the Rat Treasure changed back to its original form.

"Tsk!"

It stood on its clothes, waving its short little hands and making a few stretching movements.

Mo You heard the cry of the rat treasure and subconsciously looked back.

saw that the Rat Bao who had finished stretching jumped forward, and his round body flew up in the air, and then smashed on the surface of the lake, splashing Mo You in the face.

Judging from the location of the landing point on the surface of the lake, it is obviously deliberate.

Mo You raised his hand to wipe the lake water off his face, shook his head and smiled, and then began to scrub his body.

And Rat Bao has not come up since he jumped into the lake.

Mo You thought that Rat Bao was playing and didn't pay much attention to it.

After a while, the rat treasure was still not visible.

"Huh?"

Mo Yu stopped scrubbing and looked strangely at the rippling lake.

No way?

Thinking of a possibility, Mo You moved a few steps forward, and immediately plunged into the water, only to see Rat Bao rolling his eyes and slowly floating up and down the bottom of the water.

“……”

Mo You was speechless, and quickly fished out the drowning rat treasure from the bottom of the water.

Doesn't it turn out that you can't swim......

Anyway, the beast also needs to breathe?

Mo You saw it, placed the rat treasure next to the old man, and then returned to the lake to scrub.

More than an hour later.

The old man woke up slowly.

"Uncle, are you awake, how do you feel? Is there anything wrong with it? ”

The first time Mo You noticed that the old man woke up, he put the fishing rod beside him, got up and walked towards the shade.

The old man straightened up his upper body with a slight struggle, and looked blankly at Mo You, who came over with a caring face.

"You...... Who is it? ”

"Huh?"

Mo You was slightly stunned, thinking that this old man Mo Fei also had Alzheimer's disease, and immediately said cautiously: "Don't you remember? ”

The old man shook his head, raised his right hand on his forehead in a bit of a daze, and said to himself:

"I feel like I'm having a terrible nightmare...... In my dream, someone stuffed me into a large jar of sauerkraut, and I tried to struggle to get out, but soon more stinky sauerkraut fell down......"

Speaking of this, the old man's body trembled.

Such a clear and real dream is very rare for an old man like him who sleeps very lightly.

Hearing the old man's words, Mo You was silent for a moment.

"Uncle, you are in poor health, it is better to go home quickly, so as to save the family from worrying."

After a few breaths, Mo You selectively ignored the dream that the old man said and proposed.

The old man felt that today was weird, and thought that it would be better to go back early, so he nodded to Mo You, and then walked to the previous fishing spot.

When he came to the straw basket, the old man's eyes glanced at the fishing rod that was put aside by Mo You just now, and at the same time habitually bent down to lift the straw basket casually.

And yet—

The straw basket, which used to be light and fluttering, is now unexpectedly heavy.

"What's going on?"

The old man was confused, and subconsciously exerted himself.

Kaka ——!

The straw basket was not lifted, but suddenly twisted to the waist.

"Ouch."

The sudden pain made the old man fall on the grass on his side, holding his back with his backhand, and wailing there.

And the straw basket fell crookedly in front of the old man, and a full load of fish rolled out of it, jumping alive before his eyes.

This picture that he had dreamed of seeing, but at this moment, it became the culprit who made him twist his waist.

Mo You was shocked when he saw that the old man had sprained his waist inexplicably.

"You're really ......"

Without the slightest self-awareness, he only felt that this old man might like to be reckless.

The body is obviously not very tough, so you should stay at home and bask in the sun!

Mo You shook his head slightly, and ran quickly to the old man who was lying on the grass and wailing.

Evening.

Next to the field, a brick house.

Smoke from the roof chimneys drifted out of the rooftop chimneys.

Mo You is helping the old man prepare dinner.

Just asked about the next year, and had to stay here to take care of this old man who lived alone with his waist twisted, which was really fateful.

Looking at the boiling and tumbling fish soup in the pot, Mo You sighed softly.

The old man's home is a single-storey hut made of tiles and stones, and after Mo You came, he made a special round and didn't see any electrical appliances, let alone expect to be able to charge his mobile phone at the old man's house.

"Thank you, young man......"

From the wooden bed in the corner of the wall came the voice of the old man.

"You're welcome."

Mo You replied, scooped up the fish soup with a pot and spoon and tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction.

Looks like we're going to be here for a while......

Serving a bowl of fish soup, Mo You thought to himself.

Time flies.

Five days later.

A group of people came to the edge of the field and looked at the tiled stone house not far away.

The leader is Qiduo, and Menqi and Xiaodi are also there, as well as a bean-noodle man in a suit.

"This is it."

Qiduo raised his hand and pushed the frame, and when he saw the tile stone house that matched the "crystal picture", he breathed a sigh of relief without a trace.

The reason why he was able to find Moyu so quickly was all due to the telepathic ability of a member of the association named "Lonely Deep Sea Fish".

】

This is a very rare embodiment of the Surveillance ability.

As long as the capable person has seen the target, he can reflect the real-time image of the target in the crystal-ball of the deep-sea mermaid.

However, the scope of this screen is small, and it is difficult to get more information about the environment around the target.

A year ago, Chido and the others saw Moyu in the ruins with the help of the telepathic ability of the "Lonely Deep Sea Fish".

Due to the small scope of the screen, it was not possible to determine where Moyu was at first.

It wasn't until Moyu in the crystal ball screen began to move to reveal more environmental information that he finally realized that Moyu was in the ruins.

Through some of the obvious architectural features that had been revealed in the picture, Menqi recognized the site.

After that, he led everyone to the Alaska Mountains, and it was very difficult to find the stone slab engraved with the god character that had exhausted the energy from the ice and snow.

Since they couldn't contact Jin, who was proficient in divine characters, everyone could only stare at the stone slate.

But fortunately, Moyu's whereabouts have been found, and he can use the ability of "Lonely Deep-Sea Fish" to confirm Moyu's condition at any time, so he doesn't have to worry as much as before.

Nowadays -

As Mo You left the ruins, Qi Duo and the others, who had just received the news, rushed over non-stop.

Mo You was helping the old man prepare lunch at the moment, and the shadow clone who was placed outside to shoulder the guard work immediately saw Qi Duo and the others walking along the field path.

"Huh?"

Looking at the real-time visual footage transmitted by the shadow clone, Mo You was a little surprised.

He was still thinking about whether to solve the problem of charging his mobile phone first, but he didn't expect Qiduo and the others to find this place directly.

The question is –

I even knew he was here.

Mo You was surprised, and a woman who looked like Sadako flashed through his mind.

It can't be because of Pongm's ability, right?

Otherwise, apart from the travel time, it is difficult to imagine how Qiduo and the others can lock their positions in a short period of time.

Mo You stopped his guess, walked out of the tile house, and looked at the Qiduo group who were walking this way.

on the field trail.

Qiduo and the others also saw Mo Yu who came out of the tile stone house.

"Master!"

"Moyu ......"

Seeing Mo You, Menqi rushed over first.

Mo Yu looked at Menqi.

I haven't seen her for nearly two years, and the once gastronomic genius girl has grown into a hot beauty on the development express train.

A smile appeared on Mo You's face, and his gaze turned slightly, noticing the bean-faced man in the crowd.

"Even Little Beans are here...... By the way, the Hunter test is about to begin. ”

Seeing the bean noodle man, Mo You thought of this stubble.

January 7 of each year is the official start of the Hunter test.

Today is December 26th, and there are only about ten days left before the start of the hunter test, and it is also the point when the original plot officially begins.

"Master, I think you're even more unreliable than Jin now."

Menqi came to Mo You's side, and the complaining words interrupted Mo You's thoughts.

"Uh, what do you say?"

Mo You came back to his senses and wondered.

Menqi crossed his hands on his hips and said a little angrily: "Jin will leave a note when he leaves, but what about you, Master?" Even if you don't leave a note or a message, you don't know how to tell us if you suddenly disappear for so long, so worried about us! ”

"Huh?"

Mo You frowned slightly and asked, "During this time, haven't you received a message from me?" ”

"Nope!"

Menqi's gaze at Mo You was full of complaints.

"Not once?"

"Yes!"

"Strange ......"

Moyu was deeply surprised, and suddenly it occurred to him that Mammon might not help him deliver the message.

The guy ......

Most of them were worried that the message sent would lead their companions to find the ruins directly.

After all, he was not the only one who knew about this site, but also Menqi, who went with him at that time.

Thinking of this, Mo You sighed lightly.

If Menqi received his message and knew that he was going to cultivate the divine characters in the ruins, then he would definitely not come to the ruins directly, as Mammon feared, but would work hard to improve his abilities like him.

However, everyone is in a different position and will look at things from a different perspective.

Mo You can understand Mammon's approach, but he can't agree with it.

"How did you find me?"

Seeing that Menqi was really angry, Mo You decisively changed the topic and glanced elsewhere.

Menqi puffed out his cheeks, how could he continue to ask the teacher.

"There's a telepathic named Pongmu, and her ability can see where you are, Master."

"Yes."

Mo Yu thought to himself, it was really Pang Mu's ability.

It seems that his sudden disappearance really scared Menqi and them, so much so that even Pang Mu found out.

Under normal circumstances, Nobu, who regards Phom's abilities as a precious source, should not easily expose Pamp's abilities.

As for how they did it......

This may also use Nitro's face.

"When I came out of the ruins, I was going to find a place to charge my phone, and then contact you as soon as possible."

Seeing Qiduo and them come closer, Mo You took out his mobile phone that had been turned off for nearly two years, shook it twice, and said, "But I met an old man who was in very poor health, and I had to take care of him here." ”

“……”

Listening to Mo You's explanation, the people who came to him were very silent.

"Ahem."

The bean-faced man pretended to cough twice, breaking the sudden silence, and immediately looked up at Mo You, and said, "Mr. Mo You, I have something to inform you. ”

"What's the matter?"

Hearing this, Mo You looked down at the bean-faced man.

Bean-faced Man Zhengse said: "It's about the hunter test ...... of the 287th issue"

"Oh?"

Mo You raised his eyebrows slightly.

A few hours later.

A spaceship flies over the sea of clouds.

"Can I refuse?"

Sitting on the soft sofa, Mo You looked at the bean-noodle man sitting opposite.

Qiduo, Menqi, Pionne, Xiaodi and the others sat around, everyone looking at Moyu.

"Mr. Moyu, I'm afraid not."

The bean-faced man took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and explained in a rather helpless tone:

"Every member of the association who has achieved something has the obligation to serve as a hunter test examiner, according to the ranking mechanism, you were already a one-star professional hunter two years ago, you should have served as a test examiner in the 286th issue last year, but because of your ......"

"Sorry to interrupt you."

Mo Yu rubbed his chin and asked, "I wonder if Kim has ever served as an examiner for the Hunter Test." ”

“……”

The bean-faced man opened his mouth, not knowing for a moment whether to answer Moyu's question.

When Mo You saw his reaction, he directly got an answer, and he couldn't help but droop his eyelids.

"Master, you just agree."

Menqi suddenly interjected into the topic, looking at Mo You with a look of anticipation.

She is the second examiner of this hunter test, so naturally she wants to see her master also participate in this hunter test as an examiner.

"Douzi, I've been too idle lately, so I'll also be ranked as an examiner."

Pjörn looked at the bean-faced man and said seriously: "If the list has been decided, then it's fine, you can just kick one and send that person to the next one." ”

“……”

The bean-faced man only felt that his head was big, and the sweat on his head was flowing more and more, and he said helplessly: "Pjoon, don't come to make trouble." ”

Think of the class where Pjörn was the examiner......

None of the candidates could pass the questions she gave about ancient writing, and the result was total annihilation.

The bean-faced man is worried enough now, how can he let this rabbit thorn make trouble.

When Pjonne heard this, he immediately launched a glaring attack at the Bean-faced Man.

"Mr. Moyo......"

Ignoring Pjörn's glare, the Bean-Faced Man looked at Moyu again, his green face full of embarrassment.

"Alright, I've agreed to be the examiner for the 287th Hunter Test."

Seeing that the bean noodle man was so embarrassed, Mo You finally nodded and agreed.

The bean-faced man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, while Menqi on the side looked happy.

"But ......"

Moyu changed his words and said seriously, "I would like to know what the scope of the examiner's 'authority' is, and it would be better for President Nitro to answer this question himself. ”

"This ......"

The bean-faced man was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Mo You wanted to do.

It's just that for a moment, he seemed to see Jin's shadow flash away on Mo You, and a little bad premonition sprouted in his heart.
