May you be happy and prosperous

"..."

Goosebumps popped up all over his body, Lu Twelve held his breath subconsciously, and looked around nervously - not surprisingly, he found that at this moment, except for him, Fa Cai and a room locked up Apart from all kinds of phantom beasts, there is no one else at all—and, just now, he clearly watched Dr. Edward close the door with a "click" and carefully unlock the electronic lock. Now, How the hell was that door opened again?

Lu Twelve swears that the thing he hates most in his life is supernatural events, and the movie he hates most is supernatural movies.

He didn't have the courage and consciousness to die like the protagonist in the movie. When he found something wrong, as a normal person, the black-haired young man decisively chose the option of "seeking help outside the venue immediately"-but unfortunately, when When Lu Twelve took out the communicator from his pocket, the communicator that claimed to be able to work normally even under the influence of the fluctuations emitted by the Eudemons after special technology... really had no signal.

Cursing softly, Lu Twelve turned around and wanted to open the door of Area C. After he pulled the handle vigorously with his hand but it didn't move, he calmly withdrew his hand, pretending to be calm and accepted the door from outside. The sad fact of being locked—and now, Lu Twelve feels as if he can see that tomorrow's newspaper will have a front page headline titled "Murder in the Secret Room! Phantom Beast Staff Died Tragicly in Phantom Beast Recycling Bin" .

"..." Lu Twelve lowered his head and looked at the young phantom beast squatting at his feet, "Brother Cai, what should we do?"

Fa Cai called "Meow Meow" twice, and suddenly, as if he heard something suddenly, his ears suddenly stood up and he turned his head away, staring at the door that had been opened quietly and soundlessly. Thick gate with gaps in lacquer.

Lu Twelve: "..."

I heard that small animals can always see things that normal humans cannot.

and so……

"Brother Cai, I'm asking you what to do," Lu Twelve said blankly, "I'm not asking you to 'scare me to death'."

Get rich: "?"

When Fa Cai heard the words, he turned his head and looked up at Lu Twelve contemptuously, then shook his head, jumped on the scooter, squatted on the console in front of the car, held his head high, as if "Let's go, I'll be your bodyguard"—aside from ignoring the contemptuous glance, this move is quite heartwarming.

Lu Twelve remembered that Dr. Edward seemed to have introduced a little bit before, after all the phantom beasts were fed, there was a call button next to the large water tank deep in area C, when all the phantom beasts were fed Finally, put the empty bucket containing food into the conveyor belt under the call button, and the conveyor belt will automatically start to recycle the empty bucket. At the same time, after recycling the empty bucket, the staff will be called to check the work results... …

All in all, get the job done first, shall we?

Lu Twelve got into the car helplessly, and when he passed the center of the cage of the land-type phantom beast, he found that the phantom beasts in the entire area seemed to have quieted down, each lying in its own cage; When opening the birdcage, he heard the sound of fluttering wings, but he didn't see a flying-type phantom beast, and there was no sound of phantom beast chirping—without these sounds, the C area of ​​the entire recycling bin can be said to be completely The whole place fell silent, only the faint sound of artificial waves beating in the large water tank for breeding aquatic phantoms in the depths of Area C.

The surroundings were so quiet that people felt more and more uneasy.

While driving the scooter, Lu Twelve stretched out his hand to touch the juvenile phantom beast squatting in front of him, with its tail waving back and forth: "Brother Cai, why are these phantom beasts so quiet? Have you had a goldfish attack?"

Facing the duty of the black-haired young man, Fa Cai turned his furry head and "meowed" at him reproachfully, seemingly innocently.

Didn't Brother Cai do it?

Then looking at the entire C area, the only one who can lead the ordinary Eudemons and convince them collectively is... the one behind the door.

As Lu Twelve was thinking, he turned his head almost unconsciously to look at the door that had been opened for no reason—he had been strongly suppressing his efforts not to look in that direction, but at this time, His scooter just passed by the door, and he could feel the cold air from behind the door from a distance. With the crack in the door directly opposite, Lu Twelve could still vaguely pass through the door. Through the cracks, I can see the light shining from the glass cover behind the exhibition hall and the living space of the first-generation Eudemons.

Before, standing in front of that door and being stared at by something, it seemed that the fear of becoming a predator would come back to my heart at any moment.

Behind that door, everything still looks normal—as if the door was really just in disrepair and broken, so it opened automatically... Not a tall and mighty phantom beast suddenly came out of the door. He rushed out of the door, but there was not a single green eye staring at him in the darkness.

"……strangeness."

Lu Twelve muttered and stared at the door for a while, but suddenly he couldn't move his eyes away for some reason - when he realized that he had actually stopped the scooter, he seemed to be fascinated He seemed to be staring at the direction of the door, but at this moment, one of his legs had already stepped off the scooter, and there was only one thought left in his mind: go and have a look.

This is wrong, Lu Twelve is like a sleepy man struggling to wake up from a nightmare, struggling to operate his brain that seems to have stopped normal thinking - this is wrong, I don't want to go there!

After having such a thought of resistance, immediately, a headache like a needle prick exploded in Lu Twelve's mind!

The black-haired young man frowned suddenly, and moaned in pain, then raised his hand to press his temple and rubbed it quickly. For some reason, he remembered what Dr. Edward said before, that flying-type phantom beasts have hypnotic properties With the ability, he turned his head immediately, and then, unexpectedly, he looked at a pair of blue phantom pupils in the shadow of the forest behind the big birdcage!

"..."

After the pair of blue eyes met his gaze, they blinked and disappeared immediately—then, there was the rustling sound of something flapping its wings and flying away between the treetops.

When the flying-type phantom was startled, Lu Twelve was surprised to find that the needle-like headache spreading from his temple disappeared immediately, and the suffocating pressure also disappeared, and the surrounding voices And the fresh air seemed to return to his surroundings in an instant!

At the same time, Fa Cai, who was always squatting in front of him, turned his head - if a furry face could frown, then Lu Twelve had no doubt that it had already frowned, At this moment, Fa Cai was silently staring at him with a pair of big golden eyes, as if he had done something bad just now.

Lu Twelve: "?"

Looking at the latter's dazed face covered with sweat, Fa Cai let out a "meow" twice, and the soft cry successfully brought the black-haired young man back to his senses - at this time, Lu Twelve was surprised to find that it wasn't that the surrounding phantom beasts had really quieted down before. In fact, they had been making all kinds of barks and roars, and the voices sounded a little irritable. But... he just couldn't hear these voices.

He actually fell into the hypnotism of a flying phantom beast unknowingly?

Realizing this, Lu Twelve burst into a cold sweat again. He couldn't believe that if he hadn't discovered the flying-type phantom beast behind him in time, what terrible things would have happened right now... He raised his head. hand, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, he was in a tense state and was at a loss, at this moment, he suddenly heard, mixed with the roar of land combat phantom beasts and the screams of flying phantom beasts, from The sound of "squeaking" water coming from the direction of the water tank not far away seems to be mixed with a beautiful singing voice, which spread to his ears from afar.

Although the singing voice was singing in a language that Lu Twelve did not understand, the singing voice was very melodious—just like when Lu Twelve happened to pass by the church, he heard the melody of the believers singing hymns inside, beautiful, but It can easily make people feel solemn and sacred.

The singing seems to have a magical power that can slowly relax the tense spirit.

For a moment, Lu Twelve felt that bathed in such singing, those terrible panic and tense feelings before had all disappeared, and the whole person was lazily from beginning to end, and he finally relaxed, probably because of a previous The shock was too much, once you relax now, you can feel a burst of fatigue.

"Brother Cai, do you hear something singing?"

Lu Twelve yawned, narrowed his eyes slightly, and drove the scooter forward for a short distance, and entered the deepest area of ​​the large water tank in Area C. He stopped the car and lifted Fa Cai from the front of the scooter. He got down and put it on the ground, and he moved the big bucket of sea fish out of the car and put it on the elevator used for feeding.

After getting everything ready, Lu Twelve only felt sore and backache, and just wanted to find a place to sleep and rest.

He yawned again, walked up to the elevator, and suddenly felt that something was wrong and turned his head to look around. After a while, he realized that his Brother Cai hadn't caught up yet... The black-haired young man Frowning, he got off the elevator again, and took two steps outside, only to realize that Fa Cai was still squatting on the spot. At this moment, he was holding his little head up high, staring at the direction above his head without blinking. .

Following its gaze, Lu Twelve also raised his head. In the next second, what he saw in his eyes made him gasp subconsciously, and his black pupils shrank slightly——

He saw an extremely beautiful half-naked woman lying on the edge of the big water tank.

She has long fiery red curly hair, which hangs wetly on her chest to cover her white chest; she has a pair of red eyes full of smiles, and she is looking at herself under the water tank with a smile The fluffy young Eudemons with very gentle eyes; the corners of her lips are slightly hooked, and the pale pink lips open and close in a beautiful way, and the singing voice surrounding Lu Twelve is obviously from Where did she send it.

Lu Twelve was stunned for a long time before realizing how an ordinary human woman would appear in such a place in such a shape. He moved his gaze away from that pretty face and glanced at the Covering the ears behind the wet hair, as expected, he saw red transparent shark fin-shaped ears that looked like fish fins.

"...What, it turned out to be an aquatic phantom beast." Because I always heard people say that the aquatic phantom beast has a gentle temperament and is mostly used for ornamental purposes, so at this moment Lu Twelve mumbled in a relaxed manner and then looked away. , lowered his head, and yelled at the "Chinese garden cat" who was squatting on the ground and looked up at the "fish" happily, "Brother Cai, come here and get ready to work...don't look, this How can you eat such a big fish!"

As soon as Lu Twelve finished speaking, he felt a spray of water falling from his head. He raised his head subconsciously, but he still only met those smiling red pupils... He didn't see anything, but for a moment, he seemed to be There was a soft "snap" when something hit the water.

The singing stopped abruptly.

The young phantom squatting by the water tank suddenly narrowed its golden pupils.

At the same time, Lu Twelve suddenly felt a strong sense of drowsiness, and everything in front of his eyes suddenly became blurred—two eyelids were so heavy that they fought with each other crazily. There seemed to be something shining brightly outside the upper eyelids, and the next second, his feet softened, and he fell into a warm embrace drowsily.

At the same time that the black-haired young man fell, behind the aquatic phantom beast lying beside the water tank, a huge fish tail covered with black scales and with sharp metal thorns growing all over its spine suddenly fell into it. In the water, countless delicate white foams rolled up.

When the tall man with golden pupils standing under the water tank held the black-haired young man in his arms firmly, raised his head and looked towards the top of his head expressionlessly, the beautiful female aquatic Eudemon lying on the edge of the water tank rushed forward. He curled his lips into a faint smile, raised his hand, and placed it gently on his chest. Surprisingly, he made an elegant and respectful gesture of tribute.

Then she jumped forward, and her slender figure drew a graceful arc backwards, and then jumped into the water with a "plop", splashing huge water splashes, falling like raindrops, covering the water in the shadow of the water tank. wet the ground.

"..."

Standing in front of the water tank, the tall man lowered his head and stared carefully at the black-haired young man in his arms for a while. After confirming that he just fell asleep and had no other problems, he showed a relieved expression. He picked him up horizontally, chose a dry place, and put him down against the water tank gently and clumsily.

The somewhat rough fingertips rubbed the chin of the unconscious black-haired young man, his golden pupils flickered, and the man suddenly remembered what he promised this guy before——

[You can't do things that are out of line, you can't do things that don't meet the requirements of "a phantom beast with a total four-dimensional value of 16". . ] "..."

In the golden pupils, there was a flash of an expression.

After a while, the man stood up again, and looked down at the black-haired young man who was leaning against the water tank and sleeping soundly at the moment-the shit shovel fell asleep, of course he couldn't see anything, so next, You only need to complete the project "Don't let others see" again, and it doesn't count as talking.

So, the man who thought he kept his promise completely turned his head, his golden pupils seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally swept across the entire area C where surveillance cameras were installed.

……

at the same time.

Research room.

Dr. Edward, who was drinking coffee and watching the monitor with his legs crossed, suddenly felt the screen in front of him flicker. He let out a "huh" and immediately put down the coffee cup in his hand vigilantly, and was about to pick up the communicator at hand to call area C But before he had time to press any buttons on the communicator of the phantom beast worker, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, and the screen on the monitor returned to normal again...

Dr. Edward frowned, threw away the communicator, and grabbed the remote control to adjust the angle of the camera. As the picture moved slowly, he saw the video captured by the surveillance camera near the large water tank in the depths of Area C. On the screen, the black-haired young man is slowly ascending the elevator with a bucket of fish, and is feeding the fish in the bucket into the large tank one by one in a manner that complies with the operating regulations.

"What, isn't this a good job?" Dr. Edward breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the coffee cup again and took a sip, and said in a lazy tone, "I thought something happened, it's scary."
