God's Gift

Lu Keming walked out of the fire curtain, threw the crow man to the ground, pried open its mouth, and took out the eyeball inside.

It was still the eyeball with the blue iris.

But this time, it didn't rot.

Lu Keming placed his eyeballs in the sunlight and looked at it carefully for a few seconds.

The sunlight falling into its pupils is like the shimmering blue water of a lake, delicate and bright.

As if sensing something, Lu Keming raised his eyelids and looked outside the fire curtain.

Those Crow people who had not been burned to death stood in place, their bodies gradually stiffened and turned white like rocks, turning into statues.

The sunlight shone down obliquely, and the statues broke into rubble, fell to the ground, and were crushed into powder.

Lu Keming watched all this, with unclear emotions in his deep eyes.

The eyeball in his hand did not disappear with the Crow Man.

Yu Youyou hugged the elf and yawned lazily.

Lu Keming took the eyeball back into his hand and glanced at Yu Youyou.

Just then, Shen Minghua and Ye Li appeared at the edge of the swamp.

They were attracted here by the fire just now.

Ye Li's eyes were fixed on Lu Keming's hand. She had just seen with her own eyes Lu Keming take out an eyeball from the crow's mouth.

Her body became weaker and weaker. The scenes in her dreams would often flash before her eyes, and the fear of having her eyes pecked out by crows still lingered in her heart.

"Lu Keming, you monitor us." Shen Minghua supported Ye Li and looked at Lu Keming with a frown.

Lu Keming raised the corner of his mouth and replied nonchalantly: "So what."

"Using any means necessary and without any bottom line." Shen Minghua's voice became colder and colder.

"Is this the first day you knew this?" Lu Keming looked at Shen Minghua sarcastically, without feeling any shame at all.

"So what if you use any means necessary? Whoever wins has the right to speak. You can do the same as long as you have the ability." Lu Keming's voice was tinged with disdain.

Yu Youyou, who was standing next to them, looked back and forth between the few people. After hearing what Lu Keming said, she opened her mouth in sudden enlightenment, and then nodded in understanding.

Lu Keming saw Yu Youyou nodding beside him out of the corner of his eye, and then he realized something.

His expression froze subtly, and he clenched his fingers at his sides.

"There has never been a rule in the academy that forbids eavesdropping on others." He raised his chin and added inexplicably.

After saying that, he picked up Yu Youyou and walked towards the castle.

Yu Youyou was held by the collar and waved to Shen Minghua and Ye Li, "Bye!"

Ye Li nodded to Yu Youyou, and after a while he looked at Lu Keming's back and felt strange again.

Talk about the rules of the academy.

Didn’t this guy say last time that he was the rules?

And even if the academy has this rule, Lu Keming can change it whenever he wants.

Shen Minghua did not notice this. He stared at the empty swamp and fell into deep thought.

"After Andy died, crows pecked out her eyes, so her eyes are in the mouths of these crow people." Shen Minghua's expression was solemn, "So these crow people are the illusions of the things in your dream."

"In that case, Andy's wish might be to find her body together." Shen Minghua thought about Ye Li's dreams.

Ye Li nodded, "It seems to be like this now."

"The eyes are on the crow, so what is the trout?" Shen Minghua pressed his eyebrows.

And the owl, the white mold...

"We don't know yet, but no matter what, we can't fall behind Lu Keming anymore." Ye Li's face was pale, his lips were pale, and his voice was weak.

Lu Keming had taken advantage of them many times, and now he was ahead of them.

"Okay." Shen Minghua looked at the weak Ye Li and whispered to comfort him, "You should go back and rest first. Don't rush to find information."

Ye Li nodded.

-

As the sky gradually darkened, everyone returned to the forest entrance and set up camp as if they were familiar with the route.

Yu Youyou and the elf were singing randomly beside the campfire.

"Let's go on an adventure... Let's go on an adventure..."

The elf followed Yu Youyou and jumped up and down. Its elastic little feet bounced on the ground, scattering dots of white light.

"Yu Youyou also looks like a little elf." Anthony laughed and said to Lu Keming.

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou who was surrounded by white elves, twisted the branch in his hand, and said nothing.

Yu Youyou's hair was disheveled, rising and falling as she moved.

She is indeed like an ignorant child, always living in the sunshine, surrounded by flowers and love, so she can always be happy and carefree.

Something he never had and could never have.

Lu Keming lowered his head and didn't look at Yu Youyou again.

But her clear and tender voice still reached my ears. Just like her, no matter how I tried to avoid it, it seemed that she would suddenly appear in front of me.

It makes it impossible to avoid and guard against.

Ye Li looked at the happy Yu Youyou. His bad mood due to the nightmare finally got better and a smile appeared on his face.

Shen Minghua looked at Ye Li, who was in a better mood, and smiled. He looked at Yu Youyou and asked a question.

"Youyou, why do you only remember this line of lyrics?"

Yu Youyou stopped talking, looked at Shen Minghua, and answered seriously: "Because my mother only taught me one line of lyrics."

Shen Minghua smiled and sighed, "Youyou must love your mother very much. I always hear you mention her."

"Of course!" Yu Youyou answered happily, "Mom is the best person in the world!"

Fang Ziang glanced at Yu Youyou, thinking absently.

No matter how good it was, he still died early, leaving her an orphan.

Everyone present knew about this and felt more or less regretful, after all, Yu Youyou was the only orphan here.

Shen Minghua seemed to realize that his question was inappropriate and would bring back bad memories for Yu Youyou.

But Yu Youyou was not as sad as the others. Every time she mentioned her mother, her face was full of unconcealed happiness.

The air was somewhat stagnant.

"If Yu Youyou's mother were still alive, she would definitely be a very good person." Anthony suddenly sighed and asked Yu Youyou curiously.

"Yu Youyou, you remember so many things about your mother. You must have been quite young at that time. How did you remember them?"

Lu Keming was originally looking in the direction of the swamp, but when he heard Anthony's question, he turned around and glared at Anthony.

His sharp eyes made Anthony realize that he had just said something he shouldn't have said.

Everyone was trying to avoid this question, except Anthony who asked it stupidly.

Anthony covered his mouth in shock and regretted it deeply.

But it seemed that they were overthinking it. Yu Youyou held her chin and thought about it seriously, then happily answered Anthony's question.

"Not anymore. I'll be over 80 years old by then!"
