May you be happy and prosperous

at the same time.

Fa Cai, Lu Twelve who was hanging on Fa Cai's shoulders, and JAY who followed behind them from the state of "team leader brother" to the state of "little daughter-in-law" have walked into a ruined building together.

This building is probably a former high-end office building. The lobby on the first floor is covered with dilapidated marble. An elevator that is definitely out of use. Unlike other ordinary buildings, this office building is closed on all sides—in other words, the only entrance to this building is the door that Lu Twelve and the others walked in just now. If something walks in, there is basically no chance to find cover and it will be discovered immediately.

If they rest in this place tonight, they only need to guard such a gate.

Fortune is really good at choosing places.

While Lu Twelve was thinking this way, the man who was holding him on his shoulders had already put him down. As soon as he stood still, he raised his head and looked at the blond man who was looking down at him right now. Looking at this handsome face close at hand, at this moment, the man's golden pupils seemed to be looking at him expectantly.

Lu Twelve: "Uh."

Thinking about Mao Tuanzi's favorite stroking action on weekdays, Lu Twelve raised his hand on tiptoe without thinking about it, and rubbed the man's ear with the back of his hand. The latter narrowed his eyes slightly in satisfaction...

"Could it be that having a fight with that big cat has slightly improved your IQ?" The black-haired young man muttered thoughtfully while rubbing his pet's ears, "Do you want such an immediate effect?"

Get rich: "?"

"It's nothing, good boy," Lu Twelve said with a chuckle, and retracted his hand as if casually putting it in the pocket of his jacket, "You've done a great job tonight."

……

Because it has been exposed to the sun, wind, rain, and sun all year round, the walls of the entire building would fall down with rubble when touched. Lu Twelve was worried that there would be only an empty shelf left in the building, and it would collapse if it was stimulated casually. They all subconsciously lowered their voices...

A group of people chose a triangular area in the corner of the lobby, which is slightly stronger in structure, as a temporary resting place for tonight.

Putting down the bag, JAY went out accompanied by B Zai and picked up some dead vines on the edge of the thorn bushes as materials for the bonfire. Lu Twelve took out the nutrient solution and canned food. After drinking the nutrient solution, he put the canned food on the fire. After warming it up, he took out a spoon from his bag and handed it to Fa Cai who was sitting next to him——

Fa Cai took the can, but he was not in a hurry to eat it. He just put it aside, grabbed Lu Twelve's hand and approached the firelight, and then squeezed his hand to try to turn it over. Afterwards, the beast's intention struggled for a few times, but he couldn't break free, so he sighed helplessly and showed the "little secret" in his hand under Fa Cai's eyes—only at this moment, he had already taken off his gloves. The palms of his hands were densely covered with blood spots, some of which were stuttered, but a small burr stuck in the flesh could still be vaguely seen on the scar, and some wounds started to protrude again because of Lu Twelve's struggle just now. Small beads of blood came out.

Lu Twelve: "..."

Get rich: "..."

Lu Twelve: "It's okay, no—oh!"

The man's face was paralyzed, and he took his thumb away from the palm of the black-haired young man who was distorted by the pain and tried to lie about "it doesn't hurt", and put his hand on the side where he put the tweezers He fumbled in his pocket, and took out the silver tweezers not long after.

"Are you picking on me?" Lu Twelve said worriedly, "Will you?"

The man didn't speak, but just squeezed the wrist that he held in his palm, as if to signal the other party to be at ease.

The two leaned close to each other by the campfire, heads touching heads, knees to knees, Lu Twelve turned his hands up, and asked the man to pick out the burrs in his palms for him; the latter frowned slightly, Obviously not very proficient in this kind of fine work, he grabbed the slippery metal tweezers with his big hands. After poking Lu Twelve several times, he seemed to have finally mastered the use of tweezers, and began to slowly Tun Tun picked out those sharp thorns clumsily.

So, when JAY walked into the architect with a bunch of new dried brambles, he could hear Lu Twelve muttering something from a distance——

"Take it easy, it hurts!"

"Didn't you make me feel at ease? How can I be so clumsy? My hand will be broken by you. I owe you money. So hard?"

"Fat Cai, how can you marry a wife after you are so rude?"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa rate did you do it on purpose!"

JAY: "..."

Throwing the thorns into the fire, while the fire burst into flames and sparks, JAY took B and sat down next to Lu Twelve and Fa Cai. Holding his tormented hand, only the blond man raised his head and glanced at them indifferently when JAY sat down at the other end of the campfire.

Boy B uttered "meow meow" twice, jumped onto JAY's lap, and then looked at the humanoid Eudemons on the other side of the fire. JAY first fed it some canned Eudemons and dried fish For snacks, he took out another piece of meat that he brought out temporarily and roasted it on the fire, and finished his dinner with the nutrient solution. It's actually true, your phantom beast can actually turn into a human form—ah, it's the first time I've encountered such a thing that it's not an awakened phantom beast that can turn into a human form... Speaking of which, isn't it impossible to get rich? say something?"

"That's right," Lu Twelve replied casually without raising his head, "Probably an IQ question——"

It's a pity that before Lu Twelve could finish his words, he was forced to shut up by an understatement-like gaze sweeping over his head - there is no way, his claws are in someone's hand, and if he is not careful, he may be bloody Splash on the spot.

He calmly skipped the topic about his own phantom beast, and after thinking for a while, he looked down at Fa Cai to pick at himself and complained: "Speaking of which, when I was thrown down by that wild phantom beast just now, its eyes still Quite familiar, I think it should be the one that was staring at me in the dark before... I said that your reflex arc circled in outer space before returning to the earth, such a huge behemoth is following behind us, you guys No response, I said something was wrong, and you still laughed at me..."

"There are not many wild phantom beasts these days. After all, the hatching environment for phantom beast eggs is relatively high." JAY scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "And that phantom beast looks very big, although it is a bit thin, But the teeth and the back are metallized. I guess this bulky Phantom Beast is at least the second generation or above. People's Guild, I must demand compensation for the mental damage of those task issuers who don't understand the situation..."

When JAY mentioned "the first generation", Fa Cai's hand paused.

Lu Twelve raised his head and asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"

At this time, the man had already let go of his hand, put down the tweezers gently, turned around and picked up the can that he had put aside before it was already completely cold, and the can that he picked up looked like a toy to his big hands. Stir it with a small spoon——JAY stared at him for a while, and then said in a sleepwalking tone: "Why do I feel that I am watching a human being eating a can of Eudemons so unnaturally?"

At this time, Fa Cai had already emptied the can in his hand, threw the empty can aside, then reached out and took out another pet can from Lu Twelve's backpack, after a bit of tinkering, it seemed that he couldn't figure out how to open the can correctly method, so he held the can in his hand and squeezed it lightly. With a soft "click" sound, the can was directly crushed, and the smell of meat overflowed.

JAY: "..."

At this time, Lu Twelve brought his hands to the fire, only to find that the thorns on his hands had been cleaned up, although he was still bleeding, even if he tried to move his palms a little, he would still feel the tingling pain, but this was just a small pain. The problem is, as long as the thorn is no longer inside, this kind of small wound will heal quickly in about two days.

After everyone finished eating, they took out their sleeping bags and fell asleep not far from the bonfire—because at the beginning, they didn't expect that Fa Cai would return to their original shape, and Lu Twelve didn't bring his share of bedding , so after I got into the sleeping bag, I opened a small gap, raised my head and said to the blond man sitting beside me at this time: "Fat Cai, we can squeeze back into the Eudemons."

Fa Cai turned his head, stared at him for a while, then shook his head, stood up and came to him, grabbed the sleeping bag and wrapped the black-haired young man in the sleeping bag like a caterpillar, and put it inside , I lay down next to him directly on the ground on the outside, opened his sleeping bag, put my arm through the zipper gap, put my hand on his waist, and then quietly closed my eyes.

Lu Twelve: "..."

When Lu Twelfth heard behind him, JAY made a puzzled voice: "...Why do I feel that the identities of the two of you seem to be reversed in an instant?"

"..." Lu Twelve said without turning his head, "Illusion."

……

When the night is getting late.

After a day of exhaustion and mental tension, the humans around the campfire soon fell into a deep sleep. In the lobby of the office building, there were only JAY's shouting and shouting and Lu Twelve's smooth and even breathing that was covered up in it.

But at this moment, the blond man next to the black-haired young man's sleeping bag suddenly opened his eyes, and the sleepiness in his golden pupils did not diminish in the slightest... He lowered his head and looked at the man who was sleeping right now. The dark-haired young man silently took his arm away from the opponent's waist, and then quietly turned over and sat up quickly. He paused for a moment as if thinking of something, then bent over and stretched out his hand to unzip the sleeping bag for him again. good.

Turning his head, he heard the movement and woke up at this time, and now he poked his head out of JAY's sleeping bag and looked at him blankly for a moment.

A few seconds later, B boy made a "meow" sound, and suddenly retracted his head.

Then the man withdrew his gaze. After hesitating for a moment, he grabbed Lu Twelve's backpack, poured out all the contents, put the empty bag on his back, and walked out quietly. After running for a few meters, he turned his head again, glanced at the black-haired young man who was still deeply asleep, paused, and then ran out the door without looking back.

……

Lu Twelve fell into a drowsy sleep, and was awakened by a rustling sound in his ears. He half-opened his eyes to see who was up in the middle of the night and making small movements like a mouse, but found that behind him The bonfire did not know when it was extinguished—there were no windows in the office building itself, so the moonlight could not come in, and it was so dark that it was impossible to see anything clearly.

He turned over, trying to wake up Fa Cai and let him see if there was a mouse stealing something to eat, but unexpectedly found that the surrounding was empty, and before his brain in a state of chaos had time to react, it ran next to his sleeping phantom beast Where did he go, suddenly, he felt a furry thing approaching him.

The hot breath hit his face, itching.

"Well," the dark-haired young man with his eyes closed, half-dream and half-awake so that his IQ couldn't keep up with the beat frowned, shrunk his face into the sleeping bag as if in disgust, then stretched out his hand, caressingly on the furry thing After stroking his hair twice, he said vaguely, "Get rich, don't make trouble."

"..."

The creature who was touched by Lu Twelve suddenly was stunned at a distance of only a few feet away from him.

After a while, Lu Twelve felt the hot air sprayed on his face suddenly withdraw.

Lu Twelve closed his eyes and lifted his sleeping bag, and asked casually, "Do you want to come in and sleep?" After receiving no response for a while, he babbled and muttered, "If you don't come in, you will freeze to death, you little bastard." "After that, I fell back into the sleep that was so solid at the beginning...
