He couldn't fall asleep anyway, so Shen Chaomu went to the balcony to light a cigarette.

From here, you can see the dim lights of Cassandra, and in the distance is a dark wasteland, with stars in the sky.If you stand here on weekdays, you can probably hear the people of Kassande greeting each other's ancestors cordially, accompanied by some gunshots expressing enthusiasm and love.

But now it is nearly five o'clock in the morning. The drunkards on the street have gone crazy after drinking, and the robbers who have just finished work are also tired. Stretching out, they hummed a ditty and walked through the dark alley, presumably it was another day of hard work.

After another ten minutes, there was no other sound at all.

Shen Chaomu took out a cigarette.

The cigarette material in the interstellar era has been replaced with other plants, which does not hurt the body and also has the effect of soothing emotions.In fact, he is consciously restraining himself from smoking. After all, his emotions cannot be relieved by this method every time, but sometimes he is really irritable, and he still can't help taking out one.

Shen Chaomu lit a cigarette, and the light from the lighter illuminated half of his handsome face.

The cigarette was lit, a little fly ash dissipated in the cold wind, and the cigarette butt shone orange.

He still hasn't figured out how to face this matter.

He didn't think he had much prejudice against strange beasts.When he first joined the association in the early years, he was indeed consistent with the association's consistent philosophy, ruthlessly and firmly thinking about destroying all alien races.But the more they hunted, the more they discovered that the low-level alien beasts were not much different from the fierce beasts they were familiar with, and they could coexist peacefully after exploring their habits. The emotions of the high-level alien beasts were more vivid and complex, and more human-like Sometimes after getting in touch with them, Shen Chaomu couldn't even tell the difference between them and himself.

Different ideas?Different views?

Except for those who are too tyrannical, don't there be such differences between people.

So everyone in the association knew that Shen Chaomu liked to take on difficult and dangerous tasks.

They all thought that he didn't bother to touch low-end commissions. In fact, Shen Chaomu only wanted to take action against alien beasts that were clearly threatening.

But why is Long Shiyu a dragon?

It is impossible for him to attack Long Shiyu, but if he continues to bring the young man by his side...

Shen Chaomu was a little depressed.If Long Shiyu were to be replaced by any other beast, how could he be so entangled.

The stories told by those ancestors are still in my ears, and the concepts instilled in me since childhood are deeply ingrained: In 2144, the scarlet flames and red dragons attacked Xinggang, countless full-staffed warships sank, the ground was covered with metal that became red due to high heat, the air was twisting, and the sea On the bed lie silent ships and silent warriors. In 2200, the Screaming Dragon raided the city of Ferdinand, and a large number of vampire bats grew up relying on its terror, covering the full moon when they flapped their wings, and the whole city was covered with dry corpses. 2255...

Whenever there have been powerful dragons in history, they are terrible tragedies, and he knows these countless tragedies like the back of his hand.No matter how weak a dragon is, it will go crazy because of its blood.

The sea breeze on the island is cold, and every year when he presents flowers to the tombstones of the ancestors of Tulong, he thinks that they gave their lives for civilization.

So, why dragons?

Halfway through a cigarette, the boredom still hasn't dissipated.Shen Chaomu felt a little cold, and all he exhaled at night was white air.

There was a movement behind him.

He turned his head and saw a small head sneaking out.

It was Long Shiyu hugging the blanket, yawning and rubbing his eyes.He had just gotten off the couch and was barefoot.The pajama pants were rolled up a little because of her sleeping position. Her feet were fair and beautiful, and her nails were round, but they were slender as a standard male.

Shen Chaomu said, "Why are you awake? You don't even wear slippers."

Long Shiyu said, "You took my slippers away."

Shen Chaomu looked down, and sure enough a pair of yellow duck slippers were on his feet, no wonder he seemed to feel that the size was wrong.

Shen Chaomu coughed twice: "I'll give it back to you now."

Long Shiyu walked to the balcony: "I'm not cold."

The balcony floor here has just been cleaned, and the surface is cold, but it doesn't feel like it at all to him.

"I woke you up?"

"No." Long Shiyu rolled up the blanket and piled it on the balcony fence, hugging the thick blanket, "Are you unhappy today?"

"It's just something on my mind." Shen Chaomu said simply.

"Oh." Long Shiyu said.

The law of the evil dragon told him that he must share his worries for his princess.So he asked again: "So what's the matter?"

Shen Chaomu: "..." He rubbed Long Shiyu's head, and said with a smile, "It's okay. It's cold outside, go back to sleep."

He was just about to wrap his arms around the young man's shoulders and take him back when Long Shiyu grabbed him.

Long Shiyu said: "Wait a minute, there happened to be something nice today. That's why I woke up."

Shen Chaomu just stood there, looking at the chaotic streets of Cassande's lower city: "Is there anything interesting?"

"It will appear soon." Long Shiyu rolled his eyes.He rested his chin on the warm blanket and looked into the distance.

Shen Chaomu followed his gaze and saw the "Killer Whale" carrying... two bags of specials?

"Killer Whale" was walking in an alley near the hotel, and a robber who worked all night appeared in front of him, waving a knife in his hand and saying something.

Then he was knocked unconscious by the "killer whale", and the "killer whale" walked away happily with the special dishes and disappeared from sight.

Shen Chaomu: "...It's really a beautiful thing."

"What?" Long Shiyu glared at him, "I won't let you watch this kind of thing." This way of expressing anger obviously didn't work, and he was rubbed on the dragon's head angrily again.

The "killer whale" that disappeared at the end of the field of vision sneezed: "...fuck, who is scolding me."

Shen Chaomu smiled and said, "Then what do you want me to watch?"

Long Shiyu pointed to the distance: "Look at the sky."

Shen Chaomu looked over the wilderness and there were dots of stars shining.

They have a strange brilliance and are eternal, so that children see dreams, poets see romance, and warriors see the battlefield of fate.

Soon he knew what Long Shiyu wanted him to see.

The long night is silent.

Until the bright light appeared from the very end of the sky, dragging out a long dark yellow tail.

Everything came alive suddenly, it was a flaming bolide, a messenger from deep space.

The large mass of the meteoroid gives it a gorgeous brilliance. When it erupts, it is like a bright fire dragon shuttling through the sea of ​​stars. It is flamboyant and rampant, sharp and unstoppable. The long cloud-like footprints split the night into two halves, exquisitely distinct.

The falling star tonight was extraordinarily huge, and Shen Chaomu had never seen such a bright and colorful light.The light is changing, autumn yellow, blue moon white and steel blue, crystal red camel ash and lavender purple, the most wonderful thing is the silver light, shining brightly, just like fingertips on the handle of a knife, suddenly out of its sheath The sharp blade of...

It seems that all the beautiful colors in the world are mixed together, like the amazing brilliance on the silver scales.

The trail of the meteor lingered for a long time, and it fell straight to the end of the sky and the earth.

The moment it completely disappeared in the east, the night there was suddenly illuminated by a little light.

Very dim and very inconspicuous, but does outline the edges of the stratus—

Almost miraculously, today's first light of day quietly appeared.

The sky was lit up by bolides, and the tumbling night began to be burned quietly and gently by white flames.

Shen Chaomu's eyes widened slightly.

At this moment, he remembered that there was such a night when he was guarding the lighthouse on the island.

The waves are rolling and the night is dark, and gorgeous meteors fall across the sky and into the deep sea in the distance.Bolides are extremely rare. He was very surprised when he was young at that time, but he looked around but no one could share it.

But now, Long Shiyu beside him wraps his tail around his left wrist, bends his eyes and says, "Look, let me tell you that there are beautiful things."

The smoke burned to the end, and the orange-red light flickered a few times and disappeared completely.

After a long silence, Shen Chaomu said, "It's really beautiful. I've never seen such a special shooting star...I like it very much."

Long Shiyu was very happy, and the tail curled around his wrist a little harder: "So you like it, then next time you have it, I'll tell you."

"How did you know there was a meteor?"

"I told you," Long Shiyu said, "I came from the stars."

Shen Chaomu: "..."

He smiled silently, wiped out the cigarette, and rubbed the young man's soft black hair: "Well, next time you must tell me, let's watch together."

At this moment he has made a decision.

What is the dragon-slaying family, what is the dragon, the concept is born to be overthrown, only what has been witnessed is the true appearance of the world——Hunter Association, or this alliance’s prejudice against alien beasts is very unfair. It is a scourge that invades his territory, which is why he wants to become the chief hunter.

Not to kill, but to change.

Sticking to autism is not the way to survive, and even the throne of alien beasts may not be what they imagined.

There are still too many mysteries in this starry sky, perhaps his efforts will allow more people to see a new world.

"However," Long Shiyu was a little confused suddenly, "It may be hundreds of years before the next time there is such a beautiful color. Will you still be with me then?"

Humans don't live that long at all.

Long Shiyu looked at him expectantly, waiting for his answer.

So Shen Chaomu said with a smile: "Yes, I will accompany you."

Long Shiyu became happy, this time he let Shen Chaomu push him into the house, put him on the bed and continue to sleep.

Shen Chaomu was about to go out again. Before leaving, Long Shiyu only showed a pair of beautiful eyes from under the quilt: "When are you coming back?"

"I'll be back early today."

"You still owe me a bedtime story."

"I'll tell you when I get back."

Long Shiyu covered his head with the quilt and slept peacefully—the kind of instant sleep again.

Shen Chaomu quietly closed the door, changed his clothes and went out.

He went to the ruins of the upper city again. As the chief Qiu Ruowen was really busy, she didn't stay long in Cassande before leaving.

On the contrary, Song Qianqian said that he wanted to meet him, and this time he invited Li Jianchun.

When Shen Chaomu arrived at a coffee shop next to the ruins, he immediately saw Song Qianqian waving desperately, and a woman in a beige skirt beside her.

Fang Qing, who is rarely willing to go out, came with him this time. While writing and drawing his formula on the table, he muttered, "I will poison you tonight", "I will increase the dose if the poison does not kill you." ", so frightened that the citizens of Cassandra looked back at him frequently.

Li Jianchun and Song Qianqian met on a mission, and later became good girlfriends.

Before that, Li Jianchun lurked into Bill Hoya's auction wearing a long red dress and completed the suppression.She is also well-known in the association... not only because of her strength, but also because of her special personality.

Song Qianqian said: "I just finished going to the ruins, and I didn't leave any clues for us."

"That's impossible, we can't even find Villepin's body." Shen Chaomu ordered a cup of black coffee.

"It's not just about the strange beast," Song Qianqian muttered, "Originally, we followed the search, and maybe we could find clues to the 'boss' in the Beicheng district."

Fang Qing said: "The guy appointed to destroy some evidence, so he woke up the big black praying mantis...By the way, what happened to the passport?"

Shen Chaomu replied: "Lu Shanhuai and the others are still investigating. After all, the alarm for the alien beast was lifted just now, and it will take some time. However, the target once stayed on the planet Beien on the grounds of vacation, and that vacation was abnormally long. Probably There were two years. After that, there was also a record of his repeated entry and exit.”

"Then what should we do now?" Song Qianqian said, "Our clues seem to be temporarily cut off... so we are going to the planet Beien? That seems to be the only thing we can do now." She lowered her voice, "And That old woman Bai Yiyi is making trouble here, and I don't know what the hell she and the gang from the inspection department are hiding."

Shen Chaomu said: "Take a look at the timeline. First of all, Xingdu discovered the church. We followed the clues to Cassande, trying to use the mermen at the auction to lock down the members of the church. With the only remaining clues, we found the church." The smuggler 'Killer Whale', according to part of the testimony of 'Killer Whale', we came to Huajie and looked for the person suspected to be related to the church." He paused, "Then the Audit Department appeared and took away the relevant information. Then Villepin was awakened, the upper city is now in chaos and cannot be investigated, and some urban areas have been directly destroyed."

"For now, the only good news is," he continued, "thanks to the previous research on the settlement in the sky, the notes left by Villepin have been partially deciphered. It says that he can't find his settlement. He has been wandering in the sky with the circus troupe for a hundred years, until he was hit hard by the association after he landed in Cassande for the last time 130 years ago, and he fell asleep underground."

"And the last time he heard about the settlement was that they were going to the planet Beien."

"These two things aren't necessarily related, but it's interesting to see them together."

Song Qianqian was extremely irritable: "Ah, I'm really annoyed to death. Let's go quickly and go to Bei'en."

"Oh." Fang Qing took a sip of cappuccino, "Damn it, I said I shouldn't get involved with the association again, what happened every time I encountered it?"

Song Qianqian yelled at him: "You can continue to go back and open your dilapidated hotel. Didn't you say that you would die before you didn't want to get involved, now I think you are not really fragrant."

Fang Qing murmured guiltily: "Even if I am a middle-aged uncle, I still have a heart that yearns for excitement occasionally. People need to be active to return to youth... It just so happens that I have an experiment that is stuck in a bottleneck. By turning around and doing things, you can get new experimental subjects and inspiration."

"Come on." Song Qianqian raised her head and drank the juice, "I don't think you will ever be idle. But," she raised her eyebrows and smiled, "me too."

Li Jianchun said: "...Yes, I also found that there are no clues in the ruins."

Everyone: "..."

Song Qianqian raised her forehead: "It's okay, let's continue talking. Her delayed call has started again."

Li Jianchun is good everywhere, but the reflex arc is too long when talking to people, and often the conversation can go back to the previous topic after the conversation is over.He is also one of the strange people in the association.

"So," Song Qianqian looked at Shen Chaomu, "Brother Shen, hurry up and get a small team out, anyway, you are free now, let's go to Bei'en together. Although I don't know what you have been awkward about Son, but look at what has happened here, the clues you get can fly away, you are not angry, you are not angry, it makes people cry when you hear it."

Originally, according to the past, Shen Chaomu had to be perfunctory again.

But suddenly the brilliant meteor seen last night reappeared in his mind.

I want to try to see if I can change something.

He said like a ghost: "Okay, but only this time..."

The following words were completely submerged in Song Qianqian's cheers—this person didn't hear his turning point at all, and frantically sent messages to Lu Shanhuai and Yang Zhiming to celebrate that their awkward brother Shen finally changed his mind.

Shen Chaomu: "..." He got up, "Then I'll apply for a team when I go back to the hotel, and then prepare my luggage to go to Bei'en."

Song Qianqian smiled openly, and Fang Qing couldn't help but smile a little too.The sunshine outside was just right, the four of them walked out of the coffee shop, and discussed about the departure date - Lu Shanhuai and Yang Zhiming still had some time in the general meeting, so they finally decided on the day after tomorrow.

Song Qianqian and Li Jianchun lived in different hotels. Before saying goodbye, Song Qianqian waved vigorously at Shen Chaomu and Fang Qing.

When the two of them turned the corner, Song Qianqian took Li Jianchun's hand again: "Hey, where should we go for dinner tonight, I'm a little hungry now."

Li Jianchun: "..."

Song Qianqian has long been used to her high latency, and said on her own: "I heard that there are several restaurants in Cassande that are quite famous, such as the barbecue restaurant over there, and there are many fights. Cafeteria... I don’t know which flavor you like? Anyway, I think the barbecue is very good, let’s try it.”

Li Jianchun beside him suddenly said with a smile: "Wow, brother Shen, you finally agreed."

Song Qianqian: "..."

……

Shen Chaomu returned to the hotel.

Long Shiyu was sitting on the sofa watching a movie, it seemed to be a comedy that wasn't so funny, his head was stunned, and he was about to fall asleep.

Shen Chaomu sat beside him, and thoughtfully closed the screen——

Long Shiyu opened his eyes suddenly: "I'm still watching."

"You didn't," Shen Chaomu said, "You fell asleep just now."

"I'm really watching"

Shen Chaomu: "..." He turned on the screen again, opened two bottles of drinks and sat beside Long Shiyu, "Which one would you like to drink?"

"Cola"

Long Shiyu happily drank iced Coke, and while watching the movie, he told Shen Chaomu about the plot, the tip of his tail dangling on the floor.

The movie was actually quite boring, Shen Chaomu watched it, his attention was all on the tail.

The long silver tail looks... very thick, and it must feel very good on the feet, and it just happens to be resting on the side of the sofa, under his feet.

The timing is perfect.

Shen Chaomu looked at it for a while, and finally couldn't hold back, and stepped on it lightly through the socks.

It's a bit hard, and the scales are a bit cold, but the thick touch is very wonderful and addictive.

Long Shiyu didn't respond at all, and continued to happily talk about the movie with him, but pulled his tail out from under his feet, and put it on the back of his feet instead.

Shen Chao put on the curtain again.

Long Shiyu pulled it out and put it on.He seems particularly obsessed with having his tail on top.

Shen Chao put on the curtain.

Long Shiyu climbed up and started to stare at Shen Chaomu.

Shen Chao put on the curtain.

Long Shiyu went up to it.

After just a few back and forth, Long Shiyu stopped watching the movie, and said to Shen Chaomu angrily, "Why don't you let me put my tail on it?"

Shen Chaomu was suddenly shocked: "Your mouth is burning...you must not sneeze, this is not my home..."

"Aren't you mad at me?" Long Shiyu's mouth became more angry, he gave Shen Chaomu a hard look, turned his head, jumped off the sofa and ran away.

Shen Chaomu: "..."

Although he didn't know why, Long Shiyu seemed really angry this time.
