Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 462 The Siren and the Returning Teacher Yi
The silver-white moonlight, like fog, floats in the air hazily, softening everything in sight.The dark ruins seem to have life, breathing in the silence.A long tune sounded from nowhere in the distance, as misty as a dream, both beautiful and scary.

Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a while, and suddenly she couldn't help but shed a tear.She hurriedly reached out to wipe it, and when the back of her hand accidentally touched her beard, she was startled suddenly and woke up.

Looking around, Qing Jiuliu was sitting beside her - the two of them didn't know when they sat down and how long they had been sitting.

In the misty white mist, his calm face was like the color of a lake under the moon. When one glanced at him, he involuntarily took a shallow breath, for fear of disturbing him.A teardrop gently ran down Qing Jiuliu's cheek, shining a dazzling starlight under the moonlight.

Lin Sanjiu's gaze became confused again, and he turned his head in a daze, looking at the darkness in the distance.

Humming in a low voice, it slowly describes a tune that has never been heard before; it seems to follow the human mind, and it can continue to sing like this forever as long as the human life lasts.

... Time is in a haze, and its meaning has been eliminated.

"Let me tell you, what the hell are you two doing?" With a piece of gravel on his head being lifted abruptly, Chitu's face flushed with anger came in. It really looked like Snake: "...I waited for you all night, and you didn't even fart—"

The humming sound suddenly rose slightly, Citu was stunned for a moment, and raised his head to look, the flush on his face gradually subsided.

"This, what is this..." He didn't even look at the two candidates sitting on the ground, and just muttered something vaguely.

The tune became soft and coquettish, as if it had a hint of exoticism.The darkness in the ruins in front of me seemed to have faded because of the melodious singing, and it seemed that it was finally about to reveal the things hidden in the darkness.

As soon as half of the steel bar was broken under his feet, Citu woke up with a jerk; he looked at the two people with their backs to him, and hurriedly walked to Qing Jiuliu who could talk: "Hey, why are you— —”

As soon as his eyes fell on the latter's face, Citu suddenly held his breath, his voice became low and vague, and finally dissipated in the air.

He stared blankly at Qing Jiuliu for a few seconds, as if he also lost his words because of the dazzling starlight, he slowly bent down, and sat side by side on a big rock with the other two, staring at To the darkness far away.

What came out slowly from the darkness, no one knew what it was, but it was so beautiful that people couldn't help crying.

…It is the colorful sunlight refracted in the sea, the lightness of wild deer leaping from the grassland, and the transparent hope that keeps people alive in this world.

Lin Sanjiu's face was already wet with tears, she sobbed like a baby who just found her mother's arms, staring at the shadow that came out of the darkness without blinking; They walked around, and finally stopped in front of Qing Jiuliu who was sitting in the middle, and slowly stretched out his hand towards him.

The moment of being touched by "her" must be supreme——

"You wake up."

A voice that suddenly sounded from the depths of his mind shocked Lin Sanjiu immediately.She looked at the black shadow, and was still a little confused for a while; the voice just now opened her mouth coldly: "...you can't do it when you meet such a little thing, you still need to hone your willpower a little bit more. "

Lin Sanjiu sniffed, and the rationality that had almost melted like a floating bubble in the gentleness just now woke up again; she just jumped up, and before she could turn her eyes to see what was going on, her mind The voice in Zhong stopped her gently: "Don't turn your head."

"Ah?" At this moment, Lin Sanjiu finally realized who he heard: "...Yi, Teacher Yi! You're back—are you alright?"

"Well, I'm fine." The voice smiled slightly.

Lin Sanjiu's heart was pounding, and she forced herself to lower her eyelids——in her peripheral vision, the shadow seemed to have paused a little because of her movements, and slowly moved back; she was busy thinking about Asked, "What is that? Why can't I turn my head?"

"I said you can't turn your head, but I didn't say you can't raise your head." Teacher Yi's voice sounded softly as if smiling, "Just don't look at the person next to you."

What's the meaning?What happened to Kiyokuru?
Lin Sanjiu was a little dazed, but raised her eyes as she said.

In this collapsed ruin, the moonlight casts down from the cracks, although it is as thin as layers of veil, it is enough for her to see the thing in front of her clearly.

...It was much smaller than she imagined, only about as long as an adult's arm; under a huge shriveled head, the dry brown skin was tightly attached to the ribs shaped like a human chest, and a vertebra superior.At the part where the spine is connected, a fish-tail-like thing gradually sticks out.

"This, is this a mermaid?"

Lin Sanjiu was startled, and then heard Qing Jiuliu let out a low cry—it seemed that she was interrupted by her movements, the singing just now stopped for a while, and the other two finally recovered wide awake.

The ugly little mermaid, which looked like a dried specimen, also realized what was wrong, turned around and rushed back into the darkness; but since he had already seen it, how could he just let it go like this——At Lin Sanjiu's feet With a kick, it has covered its retreat.

"This should be a special item, try turning it into a card." Teacher Yi reminded her lightly and coolly.

...special items?
The astonishment in Lin Sanjiu's heart just rose, but he subconsciously opened the [Flat World] in his hand, and then hit the back of the mermaid heavily.

With a snap, the mermaid disappeared into her palm.

"Did you catch it?" Qing Jiuliu also ran over behind him, "What the hell is that?"

Lin Sanjiu glanced down at the card in her hand, and suddenly gave a wry smile in her heart—she couldn't speak because Citu was also present, so she simply handed the card to Qing Jiuliu from under the black cloth, and motioned them to read it too. Look.

Citu's long face quickly poked out from Qing Jiuliu's shoulders, and after looking at it for a while, his mouth gradually rounded.

[Fantastic Creatures Exhibit #12]

The world-renowned fantasy writer is going to hold a book signing here!In order to create an environment that meets the writer's expectations, the mall specially produced many models and specimens of fantasy creatures for the layout of the signing venue.Although the apocalypse came on the day of the signing, it must be said that the mall’s efforts were not in vain—exhibit No. 12 Siren turned into a self-propelled special item, which is really unexpected.

This is a down-to-earth special item, like the legend, Exhibit 12 honestly enchants mankind with its singing.But different from the legend, because the exhibitor made it particularly ugly, without the bewitching beauty of the siren, the power of exhibit No. 12 is also greatly reduced; awakened in confusion.

Because it is a self-propelled special item, exhibit No. 12 is driven by nature (?), determined (?) to seduce an amazing beauty (?), and use the other's appearance to increase its own power; because Human beings who are bewitched by it, just like the legend, will eventually disappear into the body of the sea monster—so this beauty will eventually become part of Exhibit 12.With beauty, the power of Exhibit 12 will be greatly enhanced!
PS: If you want to use this special item, you need to hold it firmly in your hand.The effectiveness and effective duration of the item depend entirely on whether the user's face is good-looking, and how good-looking it is.

"So, it's all because of your little boy!" Citu shook the card in his hand, and said fiercely to Qing Jiuliu: "I'm just weird, I remember I woke up once, and I was just about to come over to call You, when I saw your face, I became confused for some reason..."

Lin Sanjiu also agreed in her heart - when she turned her head after waking up, she was attracted by Qing Jiuliu's face, and then she fell into it again, with almost no resistance at all.

"I'm the victim." Qing Jiuliu muttered, his brows furrowed tightly: "I have a question—when it says 'beauty', why is there a question mark on this card? What is it? mean?"

If it wasn't for being unable to speak, Lin Sanjiu really wanted to scold him, "Stop making trouble".

It seemed that Citu couldn't stand him, so he threw the card back to Lin Sanjiu, and said in a rough voice: "I thought you two had some great plan, but it turned out to be two fools! I'm with you, hurry up and find me the target of the trial, move now!"

Being called a fool by Citu, the two of them were a little hard to accept for a while; but before Qing Jiuliu could say anything, Citu suddenly strode up and shouted at him: "Stretch your hand!"

Qing Jiuliu smacked his lips, and stretched out a hand lazily; Citu pulled it over and made him cry out in pain; Qing Jiuliu hurriedly shook his hand a few times, and looked again , There is already a blood spot on the fingertip.

"This is to prevent you from running around. Generally speaking, it is only pressed after the first-level candidate has taken the first action in order to complete the trial goal." As Thorntu said, he motioned to Lin Sanjiu also stretched out his hand: "...but I've never seen a candidate who is as slow as you, so I won't wait any longer, just reach out!"

Now I can't show my hands--

Lin Sanjiu gritted his teeth, and gently stretched out half of his index finger from under the black cloth; only one fingertip was exposed, the other party should not be able to notice the difference between himself and the man, right?
Jitu glanced at her fingers and frowned.

But he didn't say much after all, and immediately pressed on Lin Sanjiu's finger—I don't know what he was holding in his hand, which made her gasp in pain. A little red oozes from the ground.

...It seemed that something had quickly sunk into the bottom layer of her skin.

Probably fed up with these two candidates, after Shitu finished ordering something unknown for them, he turned around and fell out of the gap—from the sound of his tone before he left, it seemed that he didn't want to come back for a while .

"What did he call me?" Lin Sanjiu asked nervously as soon as Chitu walked away.

"Don't worry, it's just a fixed position. I can let that gadget be ejected in the same way at any time—but not yet, if it is ejected, the other party will find out." Teacher Yi said lazily .

Only then did Lin Sanjiu breathe a sigh of relief—Ms. Yi came back this time, and she seemed to be a little stronger than before, which made her more confident; she was finally able to ask the questions she was full of: "Teacher Yi, How is the battle between you and Nuwa's consciousness? Didn't you say that the combination of genes and consciousness has a particularly powerful impact?"

"Thanks to you," Teacher Yi said with a smile, "...Probably because you are a growth type, your consciousness is stronger than I thought, and now I have temporarily suppressed Nuwa's consciousness. — but at some point it will come back again, so we can't relax yet."

Is that so... Lin Sanjiu bit her lip.

Just when she was still about to ask something, she suddenly felt Qing Jiuyu poke her shoulder: "Hello!"

Lin Sanjiu was taken aback: "Huh?"

"Ah what, bring me a bottle of wine." Qing Jiuliu scratched his face, leaving a few red marks on the face that made people stare blankly for 10 minutes. "Well, don't want Chivas Regal, clean up the fucking fake wine..."

Lin Sanjiu simply took out several bottles for him to choose, and put away the rest; just after thinking about it, she suddenly called out [Exhibit 12 of Fantastic Creatures Exhibition], and after canceling the card, Throwing it into Qing Jiuliu's arms.

"What are you doing?" Qing Jiuliu asked somewhat embarrassedly, holding a bottle of wine in one hand and a mermaid in the other.

"A person like you who is addicted to tobacco and alcohol all day long may die someday." Lin Sanjiu climbed up the boulder first, and said as he climbed out: "...it is rare that there is something that allows you to rely on your face I can survive, forget it for you, anyway, I am not a big beauty."

"You look good... you're actually okay," Qing Jiuliu forced himself to comfort her, but Lin Sanjiu couldn't help being a little angry—he didn't forget to take a sip of wine when he crawled out of the ruins : "But in this way, I have to shave every day, alas..."

"And even if you're going to drink until you're unconscious, you have to hold it carefully—don't hold it now! That guy has already started singing!" Lin Sanjiu felt his mind was confused, and immediately drank to Qing Jiuliu.The latter quickly let go, thought for a while, and pulled a shoelace from his foot, tied the mermaid who had just shut up to the waist of his trousers, and put it in his pocket.

After all these things were done, he looked up again, and Qing Jiuliu found Lin Sanjiu still standing there in a daze.

"what happened?"

Lin Sanjiu turned her head, but she couldn't see her expression clearly under the black cloth.

"Think about it carefully, this mermaid... can only sing." Her voice was soft and somewhat dazed. "...Then what was the whistle we heard at the beginning?"
