Chapter 327: The Light of Bonds, the Darkness That Looms Around
When the Xio team members were clearing the monsters underground, Lin Lan, who had already taken off her white coat, was holding Lori's hand, attracting the attention of almost everyone on the long street.
A handsome young man dressed in black but with a warm smile, a cute little Lori in Gothic Lolita, and cat ears on her head swaying, under the sun, it seems to be the same as the real thing.
But...... How is that possible?
It should be some kind of realistic cat-ear headdress, right?
"Look, I said it was okay." Lin Lan took Little Lori's hand and looked at her half-coaxed and half-deceived form that she was willing to reveal, very proud, "Human beings are always like this, while looking forward to the "unscientific" in reality, and when accidents really happen, they often deceive themselves wishfully and draw the ground as a prison."
While speaking, Lin Lan even waved his hand in full view of everyone, and a circle of fire surrounded his arm, causing passers-by to exclaim.
Dark Ax could see clearly, this was the flame created by Lin Lan with his supernatural firing ability.
This ...... Humans should realize that something is wrong, right?
However, after a brief moment of consternation, the young man's expression gradually changed to surprise, and in the midst of whistles and applause, the older ones, first looking at the unsuspecting young people around them, then thoughtfully, finally let down their guards, showed a polite smile, and applauded reservedly.
"Thank you, thank you~" Lin Lan bowed in a thoughtful manner, as if he was really a magician for street performances, and when he leaned down, the smile on the corner of his mouth faded, replaced by a thick mockery.
It's like a condescending sage, looking at the new clothes of the "emperors" on the street.
"It is true that in this era of gradual openness, people have also performed this supernatural phenomenon, such as magicians, such as acrobats...... At least they won't be burned at the stake and burned like witches in the Middle Ages."
Lin Lan took the takoyaki handed by the stall owner, thanked him for the compliment with a smile, and then whispered his opinion: "However, if you lose your awe and sensitivity to the supernatural, in this kind of world...... It's going to die."
As one of the founders of UNIVER, Lin Lan knew too many things that were hidden under the undercurrent, and he also understood what kind of damage would be caused every time a monster appeared, and how many people's families were shattered overnight, and even helped the old and the young to fall into the Yellow Spring together......
Looking at the dark Ax who was holding the takoyaki but refused to eat it first, the young man in black smiled, squatted down and stroked her head, personally picked up a ball, and fed it to her mouth:
"To be honest, I don't hate you for having your own will or rebelling against me, even ...... Some of the joy."
"After all, your rebellion, in a sense, just proves that I didn't lead you all together."
"Heh, don't look at me like that." The young man in black suddenly teased, "I am very self-aware of what I have done."
What self-knowledge?
Naturally, he is a crumb in the world, not a good person.
"The reason why I didn't take you out to the field this time is not because I'm angry...... Okay, it's really a little painful.,Oops.,Anyway, the point isn't here.,I thought it was a trivial thing at first.,Go and go back.,Who knew that Bei Laohei suddenly came to the door.,And even came over with the space guard.,I can only say that the plan can't catch up with the changes~"....
Little Lori raised her head, and her jewel-like eyes made no secret of her suspicion of Lin Lan.
The mouth of the master, the deceitful ghost!
She tugged at the corner of Lin Lan's clothes and pointed at herself, her little face full of determination.
Anyway, don't leave me behind!
"Ha, okay, okay......" Lin Lan was amused by her appearance, couldn't help but squat down, hugged her, and asked curiously, "Anyway, where did you learn this?" I don't remember showing you anything like this?"
That being said, Lin Lan's hand was very honest, rubbing and rubbing on the cat lady's head, but it didn't stop.
And the little Lori also squinted obediently, and the cat's tail was slightly hooked, like a small question mark: "Yes."
Ado and Hayato, I've heard them say that their master might like this form."
Lin Lan's palms stiffened, and her face couldn't cry or laugh.
These two guys with thick eyebrows and big eyes...... Feelings are secretly slandering me?
Just because I like to go to comic conventions, I'm the old two-dimensional?
It's not because you can casually transform into monsters and Ultramans instead of being treated as perverts on the street!
But after a while, Lin Lan still said very heartily, "Well done...... I love it."
After all, who doesn't want to return home and see a cat-eared lady lying at the door, waiting for the owner to come home?
It can only be said that it was a mistake.
Retracting her thoughts, Lin Lan pinched Little Lori's cheek, who understood, took Lin Lan's hand, and walked forward again.
"Then again...... What's your name after that? I can't call you Xiao Hei anymore, can I?"
"What's wrong with Blackie, I think it's pretty good?"
"Hmm...... I always feel like grabbing a pet on the street and shouting at Xiao Hei, nine out of ten answers." The young man shook his head, "Sure enough, it's better to call Xiao Ai."
"All that hears to the master." Little Lori's tail cocked again.
"Hmm...... But after that, it's your turn to choose, Ai."
"What do you mean by that, master?"
"I mean......"
Standing at the end of the street, the young man in black stopped, looked into the distance, and a penetrating light was reflected in his deep pupils, and he couldn't help but smile.
The bond alone shines again when the next successor is chosen.
"Is it finally here, Noah......
And the little Lori also sensed it, and couldn't help but squeeze the master's hand.
Could it be that something new has happened?
"Yes, I will still stand on the opposite side of humanity in the future." Lin Lan saw the uneasiness of Dark Aix, and said calmly, "And this time, I plan to target the people who are hiding under shelter."
"A great man in China once said that since ancient times, there have been people who have worked hard, people who have worked hard, people who have asked for their lives for the people, and people who have sacrificed their lives to seek the law...... They are the backbone of China."
"And in this world, it is the defense force of the earth, the warrior of light, who holds up a sky for mankind."
For some reason, even if the light was so clean, it still couldn't illuminate the darkness where Lin Lan was.
The young man in black looked up at the pillar of light, and his tone was playful:
"What I want to know is whether the people they shelter have rat poop or not...... And how many?"
"Are these guys qualified to hide under shelter with peace of mind?"
The sneering laughter of the youth reached the manhole cover underground, echoing in the empty underground waterway.
And then, there was a rumbling whisper in response.
The wind is singing and dreaming
