Urban Night Returner

"Who are you from Xiaozhi?" Yu Yue asked calmly.

This is the shark's boat, its size is equivalent to a small passenger ship.What is surprising is that the whole ship is made of shells, like a huge shell carving art, including the interior of the cabin.The pink and turquoise mother-of-pearl is inlaid in large swaths, and even when it is not exposed to sunlight, it has a beautiful luster.There is a small pool in the cabin, Yu Yue is sitting on the side of the pool on a huge white jade-like canal shell, next to Yu Ling, with her golden fish tail immersed in the pool, she has been staring at Shen Gu with vigilant and sharp eyes and Zhong Lecen.

Zhong Lecen didn't answer, but just looked at her abdomen: "This child belongs to Zhou Zhi, right? The gestation period of a mermaid is six months, why hasn't the child been born yet?"

Yu Yue lowered her head, stroked her abdomen gently with her hand, and said slowly: "This child cannot be born yet."

"Why?" Zhong Lecen was really surprised, "Why can't you give birth?"

With a sad expression on Yu Yue's face, Yu Ling said sharply: "What's your business? You guys, why did you come to Haishi with Zhou Zhi's photo?"

Zhong Lecen said frankly: "We are here to find you and Yu Yue. We want to exchange for Xiaokang's soul."

Yu Ling sneered: "What does it matter to you? Kang gave me his soul voluntarily, and I didn't take it randomly."

"I'm afraid, this is a misunderstanding. The text message to you was not sent by Xiaokang himself. It was his colleague who played a prank and sent such a text message to everyone. Xiaokang loves Han Jinyue, and there is no other meaning. "

Yu Ling was stunned for a moment, obviously not quite understanding what was going on, but she quickly said forcefully: "The soul is already with me, and I can't return it to you."

Shen Gu frowned, Zhong Lecen had already lightly pressed him, and looked directly at Yu Yue: "I want to ask, what do you want his soul for?"

Yu Ling's clean and beautiful eyebrows stood upright as if drawn out: "You ask too many questions!"

Zhong Lecen said sincerely: "Only when I know the reason, can I find a way to help you."

Yu Ling looked at him with distrust, but Yu Yue smiled softly: "Help me? Thank you. But, I'm afraid you can't help it. If you want to listen, then listen to me... "

Why did the prince end up marrying the princess of a neighboring country instead of the little mermaid?Not because of any misunderstanding, but because the little mermaid couldn't bring him an heir.Mermaids have a lifespan of [-] years, and humans have immortal souls. Unfortunately, the children of mermaids and humans have neither [-]-year lives nor immortal souls.And why does the little mermaid need to kill the prince to return to the sea?Not because a fish tail is needed, but because it can melt away the fetus that is about to form in her stomach...

"...I was very happy when I found out that I was pregnant with a child. I thought I could keep something about Xiaozhi. Although the elders in the clan advised me, I didn't listen...But after three months, I Then I realized something was wrong, this child really does not have the lifespan of a mermaid, nor the soul of a human..."

"So you need to devour the soul to support it?"

"Yes." Yu Yue gently stroked her abdomen, "If this child does not have enough soul, it will only be a stillbirth after birth. The gestation period of a mermaid is six months, and I have far exceeded it. I have It feels like this is all because there are not enough souls, so the child can never be born."

"...So it's like this..." Zhong Lecen was also a little at a loss, "How could it be like this?"

"That's why Yu Ling collected souls for me. Of course, those people gave her souls voluntarily."

Shen Gu and Zhong Lecen glanced at each other.The "voluntary" that Yu Yue said is of course different from what Qiu Feng and the others said, but it is indeed "voluntary" if you really want to say it.

"But Xiaokang is not. This is a prank. Someone is impersonating him and trying to harm him."

Yu Ling said with a cold face: "No matter what you say, Yu Yue needs a soul now. I can't go ashore yet, and I don't have any other souls for her, so I can't return them to you."

"Then how about we use this to exchange?" Zhong Lecen took out a small bottle from his pocket, and there were balls of light black gas flowing in the bottle: "And I can collect souls for you in the future, and send them every week until the child is born .”

Yu Ling looked at the bottle suspiciously: "These..."

"It's not a raw soul, but it is indeed a soul. The quality may not be as good as yours, but the quantity can be guaranteed. As for Xiaokang, please give us his soul, his wife, who is waiting for him at home. If you can't get these souls back , the two of them will be like you and Zhou Zhi..."

The merman's shell boat sank slowly, and the turquoise water slowly submerged the pearl-colored ship's sides, crystal-like masts, and moonlight-like white sails, until the most cutting-edge coral decorations were also submerged.The ship disappeared as silently as it had come, leaving only Zhong Lecen and Shen Gu on the steps of the sea market.The only thing that can prove that it has appeared is a round green bottle in Zhong Lecen's hand, which contains a ball of pale white gas.

"This is Xiaokang?"

"It should be." Zhong Lecen carefully put the bottle into the backpack, "We can go back."

"You promised to give them souls every week, how do you send them? Haishi doesn't have them every week, does it?"

"Of course not. This bottle is a shark's drifting bottle. As long as you put it in the water, it will automatically float back to Yu Yue's hand, and then float back again."

Shen Gu thought for a while and came to a conclusion: "It's very useful, if you don't lose it."

Zhong Lecen gave him a white look: "Of course I won't throw it away. And it won't be broken either. The other sea people know that it belongs to the mermaids, and if they don't have any malicious intentions to make enemies of the mermaids, they won't touch this thing."

In any case, the matter was finally settled for the time being.Shen Gu looked at his watch: "Go back?" The task was completed smoothly, and it only took less than three hours.

Zhong Lecen was a bit reluctant to part: "Let's go around the sea market. I don't know if I can see it next time, and I will see what good things there are."

Of course there are good things, just the piles of gems and gold coins are enough to dazzle people, not to mention there are other things that even Zhong Lecen can't name, it's a pity they can only look at them.Yu Yue gave all the photos of Zhou Zhi they brought. In fact, even if Yu Yue didn't take them, no one asked them to exchange them.Shen Gu poked Zhong Lecen maliciously: "Where's the underwear you took out just now? Can you exchange them for something?"

Zhong Lecen's face turned red up to the ears, and he gave him a hard elbow: "It was Feifei who sent it over by courier in the morning, so I just picked one up and took a look at you, didn't you just come in, I'm afraid you saw it, just take it with you." Just put it in your pocket..."

"Pick up one..." Shen Gu rubbed his chin, "That is to say, there is more than one?"

Zhong Lecen instinctively felt that these words were not good, so he closed his mouth cautiously.But Shen Gu smiled even more evilly: "Okay, it's good to have more, it's good to have more——"

Zhong Lecen blushed even more, and was thinking about where he should come again for a while, when he heard a commotion not far away, followed by a bell-like roar of a beast, which made people's eardrums buzz.Zhong Lecen and Shen Gu looked up together, and at a glance they saw that the row of stalls in front had been turned upside down, and a figure suddenly rushed out of the mist, it was Shao Jing.Behind him was a huge animal head like a truck head, with two branch-like horns on top of the head, a pair of eyes as big as a fist, and a bloody mouth that was almost like a door.Zhong Lecen was taken aback: "Dragon!" Before he finished speaking, a claw protruded out like lightning again, but with a stretch, the dagger-like nails had already reached Shao Jing's chest.Shao Jing suddenly dodged to the side, and the tips of his nails brushed against his chest and slashed straight down.It was already April, and there were few clothes on. With this stroke, the inner and outer clothes on Shao Jing's chest were all separated like a knife.But Shao Jing also flipped his hand, and a golden handprint pushed towards the dragon's head, forcing the huge head to deflect.Shao Jing took the opportunity to turn around and escape the enveloping range of the dragon claw.

Shen Gu pulled out his gun.Although I don't know how Shao Jing provoked Long, but in line with the common standpoint that everyone is human, of course I have to support it.But after all, I still don't know what's going on. He didn't aim at the longan, but aimed at the middle of the eyes and fired a shot.The bullet hit the blue scales and was bounced back, but in the end it brought pain. The dragon head suddenly leaned back, and then let out an angry roar. The one meter long tail swept towards Shen Gu.Shen Gu pulled Zhong Lecen, but found that the latter was stunned, and he didn't notice a dragon's tail sweeping towards him with such force.Shen Gu was startled, he hugged him in his busy schedule, and rolled away, the dragon tail swept away, swept down the stall next to him, a pile of gold coins rained down and hit his face It hurts.Shen Gu didn't care about anything else, and pulled Zhong Lecen to the side before jumping up: "What's wrong with you?"

Zhong Lecen woke up like a dream, opened his mouth twice, but he didn't say a word, but his eyes were still staring at Shao Jing.Shen Gu followed his gaze, and saw Shao Jing draw out a money sword out of nowhere, and struck the dragon's horn with one sword, forcing the dragon's head back which was in front of him.His clothes were all torn, and between his movements, his strong chest was completely exposed. On his heart, there was a cinnabar mole the size of a soybean, as bright as blood, and there were traces around it, as if someone had once used some sharp weapon on his chest. Draw a circle, just around the mole.In the blink of an eye, a name jumped to his lips: "Luo Jing!"

Zhong Lecen shivered suddenly as if being burned by these two words.At this time, the sea market was completely in chaos.Of course, there are many strong fighters in the sea clan, but not many can compare to dragons. Most of them have packed up their stalls and retreated. A few even showed their true colors and joined the battle circle.This time it was even more chaotic, Shen Gu pushed Zhong Lecen: "Run farther away!" Against the tide of "people" coming over, he rushed into the battle circle.Zhong Lecen was naturally not obedient, and wanted to squeeze in as well.It's just that there were too many "people" running around, and he squeezed for a long time, but he still didn't move.The fighting of large sea beasts has caused the "ground" of the sea market to heave and shake, and the shelves erected by the stalls next to it were shaken and collapsed.Glancing out of the corner of his eyes, Zhong Lecen suddenly saw a little bunny tail—the siren baby wearing the panties he gave him, who was probably separated from his clansmen and was standing there crying.Zhong Lecen strode over, almost lifting him up by his vest.Just a few steps away, the heavy shelf made of coral hit the place where they were standing just now.

"Don't cry, it's okay, it's okay." Zhong Lecen patted the siren baby's fleshy butt, and shouted towards the battle circle: "The sea market is going to disperse, let's go!" The "ground" under his feet is already Subsidence, the sea water has flooded to the calf, and when the ground completely disappears, it will return to a vast ocean again.

Shen Gu opened his hand, and Jin Tiezhiying stretched out suddenly, poking the dragon's eye straight, forcing the dragon's head to dodge to the left, leaning over to dodge the waving front paws, and shouted at Shao Jing: "Go!"

In fact, it is not difficult to jump out of the battle group at this time.The sea clan that fought with Qinglong has revealed its original shape, and its shape surprised everyone—long nose, sharp teeth, fish body, its length is not inferior to Qinglong's, but its movements are a little slower.But blocked by its huge body, Shen Gu and Shao Jing had enough room to move, at least it was possible to escape.But Shao Jing only took a step back and looked around: "Mai! Mai Qiao!"

"I'm here!" Amidst the din, this voice could be ignored, but Shao Jing still heard it, rushed over to grab him and ran away.But when he turned around, a claw suddenly protruded out of the dense fog beside him without a sound, and the nails like eagle claws pierced straight towards his heart.This claw is much smaller than the green dragon just now, but it is also as big as a small cattail fan. I don't know what it is, lurking in the mist, waiting for this blow.Shao Jing had just turned around at this time, and was running forward again, as if he had bumped into him.

Zhong Lecen was the closest at this time.Because he was holding a siren baby, he was also rushed to this side by the crowd just like Xiaomai, so the two of them were rushed to the same direction.Originally, his eyes hurt when he saw Shao Jing, but the fog in Haishi seemed to have some effect, so his eyes didn't hurt as much as usual.But after seeing the cinnabar mole on Shao Jing's chest, he couldn't take his eyes off it.Although his eyes were sore from time to time, he still squeezed his eyes tight to Shao Jing.The fog was too thick, and Shao Jing was only concerned with resisting the oncoming flow of "people" for Mai, so he didn't notice this sharp claw that took advantage of the situation.But Zhong Lecen could see clearly, he rushed over and shouted at the top of his voice: "General, be careful!"

The sound of "General" made Shao Jing's body shake suddenly, he stopped his forward movement suddenly, and turned his whole body hard towards Zhong Lecen's direction with difficulty.There are pros and cons to this move.The advantage is that he stopped the forward movement, and the sharp claw was originally prepared to wait for him to charge closer before moving, so when he suddenly stopped and then stretched forward, the movement slowed down by a few inches.The downside is that Shao Jing didn't react at all at the moment, until the tip of the claw had already penetrated his chest, he suddenly recovered his senses and dodged to the side.

In the increasingly loud sound of sea waves, the sound of sharp claws cutting flesh could not be heard at all, but blood splashed out.Zhong Lecen only felt his face heat up, and a few drops of blood splashed on his face, and suddenly, the area around his eye sockets felt like they were being burned by fire, and suddenly felt hot.

Shen Gu glanced over and only saw Zhong Lecen bent down covering his face, his heart tightened, and he strode over to pull him up: "What's wrong?"

"Eyes..." Zhong Lecen covered his eyes tightly with both hands, feeling that the fire seemed to be drilling into his eyes, either painful or hot, his entire eyeballs were swollen, although it didn't hurt, it was also uncomfortable.

Shen Gu grabbed the crying siren baby under his arm with one hand, and held Zhong Lecen with the other: "Can I go?"

"Yes." The hot feeling was gradually receding, Zhong Lecen tried to let go, and found that the vision in front of him was much clearer.The fog is fading, but the sound of waves is becoming clearer, mixed with wheat's exclamation.He looked towards Shao Jing again, only to see that Shao Jing was already fighting with a little dragon.No, that's not a little dragon, that dragon has no horns on its head, it's a dragon!

"Tell him not to fight, Haishi is about to—" Zhong Lecen hadn't finished speaking when the ground shook suddenly, and their feet suddenly turned into waves, and they sank quickly.The surrounding fog had all dissipated, and as far as the eye could see, there was a blue sky, and the huge waves caused by the fierce battle between Qinglong and the sea clan were overwhelmingly pressing down on them.

Zhong Lecen took out the water-proof lamp from his backpack with one hand, and stroked his wrist against the edge of the bowl without hesitation, blood immediately flowed into the bowl, and in an instant, reddish light shot out from the lamp bowl , the sea water around him quickly receded, and a spherical space appeared where the light reached.Zhong Lecen took off the Yangsui mirror with bloody hands, and the light of the water-proof lamp passed through the Yangsui mirror, and immediately turned into a beam of red light, shooting towards the Jiao who was fighting with Shao Jing.

Shao Jing and Mai Mai had already fallen into the water at this time.Both of them seem to be able to swim, but no matter how they know how to swim, they are not as flexible as Jiaolong in the water. Fortunately, Shao Jing shook out a few talismans so that he would not be in danger for a while.Wherever the red light from the Yangsui mirror went, the sea water was evaporated quickly, and the dragon hid slower, with scorching marks on his body, which seemed to be in too much pain. With a howl like a bull's roar, the huge dragon's head suddenly turned into a distorted face of a woman. If you just look at the eyebrows, it is even very beautiful, but it grows on the head of a monster, but it is chilling.

In this short period of time, Zhong Le, Cen Shen Gu and Shao Jing Mai Mai had already joined up, and they all gathered within the envelope of the water-avoiding lamp.Zhong Lecen instructed Shen Gu to take out more than a dozen spells from his bag and stick them all around.Shao Jing, however, seemed a little distracted, kept looking at him, and finally called out tentatively: "Mo Bai?"

Mai Mai was stunned for a moment, but Zhong Lecen's face suddenly turned pale. He was holding a water-proof lamp in one hand and a sunglass in the other, staring at the Jiao Jiao churning in the sea water, and also taking into account the fierce fighting that was further away. The two monsters said calmly: "The general is safe and sound."
