I am not human anymore!

Because it is almost summer, the sun has not completely set at six o'clock, and the fire and clouds sweep across the sky, making the whole world like an old photo rendered in time, giving Xu Dongyou the illusion of being separated from this world.

Everything that happened in the past few days was too sudden and bizarre.

The seemingly ordinary world turns out to hide so many unknown secrets, evil spirits, monster races, and bureaus. There are even mysterious existences that only exist in legends and myths in this world.

Also...he's not human anymore.

This point, Xu Dongyou found that he accepted it quite well, except that he was a little disappointed that his original shape was a bird that looked very much like glutinous rice balls.

It wasn't until the taxi came to a slow stop that Xu Dongyou came back to his senses and looked in the direction of the gate of the community, feeling timidly close to home.

After getting off the car, Xu Dongyou stood against the light at the gate of the community, his reflection looked extremely lonely under the setting sun.

The owner of the supermarket in the community noticed Xu Dongyou when he came out to pack his things, and immediately greeted him enthusiastically, "Dongyou is back?"

Xu Dongyou came back to his senses, nodded, and then felt that it was not good to leave at this time, so he went to the supermarket to buy a carton of milk.

The boss smiled more enthusiastically. He has been here for five or six years, and he can be regarded as watching Xu Dongyou grow up. At this moment, he mentioned Xu's mother in passing, and said: "Your mother has been very angry these days. Coax your mother well when you get home."

Xu Dongyou froze for a moment, then nodded, "I see, thank you, Uncle Zhang."

The boss nodded with a smile.

Xu Dongyou walked all the way downstairs to his own house, and when he passed the fitness activity area of ​​the community, he was stopped by the familiar neighbor's grandmother and a few aunts. After chatting for a few words, he paid attention to Xu Dongyou.

Xu Dongyou responded with a good temper, without the slightest bit of impatience on his face, which made the elderly neighbors' grandmas and aunts very happy, and then thoughtfully moved out of the way, "Hurry up and go home, your mother must miss you. "

Xu Dongyou nodded and bid farewell to the neighbors' grandmothers and aunts, and the timid feeling of being close to home seemed to disappear. Xu Dongyou stepped up and went straight to the fifth floor and knocked on the door.

Immediately, Mother Xu's loud voice came from the room, "Who is it?"

The sound of footsteps approached, and the door was opened. After seeing Xu Dongyou, the slender woman with fashionable curly hair immediately became pleasantly surprised: "I thought you weren't going home this week."

While talking, he turned his head and yelled into the room: "His dad, Dongyou is back!"

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man with a slightly plump figure and a beer belly and a good temper came out of the master bedroom, glanced at Xu Dongyou, patted his thigh and said, "Damn, do you think Dongyou has lost weight? "

Xu Dongyou was stunned.

He is quite sensitive to the word "fat" now. He is obviously thin and tall in human form, but why is the monster form like a round glutinous rice ball?

Xu's mother heard Xu's father's words, and quickly looked at Xu Dongyou, giving full affirmation, "It's thin! It must be tired at school."

Xu's father said: "Then I will make some delicious food to supplement the child."

Xu's mother pushed Xu's father, and couldn't help complaining: "I told you to stew the broth first yesterday, but you insisted on not listening. Now when the child comes back, he has to wait for you to prepare it for several hours before he can drink it."

Xu Dongyou whispered to Xu's mother: "Mom, it happens that I'm not hungry right now, and don't keep Dad busy. It's not good to drink soup so late."

Father Xu said again: "Then I'll wash some fruit."

After speaking, I went to the kitchen.

Mother Xu dragged Xu Dongyou to sit on the sofa, and asked with concern, "Did something happen?"

The busy sounds in the kitchen also stopped abruptly, and Father Xu also stuck to the door and listened to the movement in the living room.

Xu Dongyou shook his head, "It's fine."

Xu's mother was even more worried, "You were brought up by me, don't I know your temper and character?"

Xu Dongyou didn't want Xu's mother and Xu's father to worry, so he could only give some reasons, "Someone jumped off the building in the school, and many people in the school were also affected."

Mother Xu couldn't help but groaned, "What's going on?"

Xu Dongyou shook his head.

Xu's mother patted Xu Dongyou's arm lightly, searching for words to try to comfort Xu Dongyou, and Xu's father also happened to come out with a fruit plate, eagerly letting Xu Dongyou eat.

Both of them are caring for Xu Dongyou in their own way.

Xu Dongyou's heart is warm, this is the parents who love him, regardless of blood relationship.

But this love is real.

"By the way, Mom, where's Yang Chen?" Xu Dongyou was a little surprised.

Logically speaking, at this point and this time, the other party should have gone home long ago.

Mother Xu got angry when she mentioned this, "Your younger brother is always addicted to games recently. How is this mobile game fun? He plays it non-stop every day."

Xu Dongyou's younger brother is called Xu Yangchen. He is a freshman, and he also goes to university in this city. He will go home on Saturdays and Sundays. According to Xu's mother, Xu Yangchen has been addicted to mobile games this month, and has been playing games since he got home. Play until noon the next day before going to sleep.

"If you stay up all night like this, your body will break down sooner or later." Xu's mother will be so angry: "It's not that I don't let him play, it's okay to play games properly, but you can't always stay up late and indulge, and in the end he sees me always talking about him, I'm not planning to go home this week."

Xu Dongyou thought for a while, and said: "Maybe it's because I was depressed for too long during the college entrance examination. Wait for half a month to see the situation. If it's still like this, I'll go and talk to Yang Chen."

The most important thing is that Xu Dongyou felt that Xu's mother was more angry, maybe not because of his younger brother playing games, but because of his brother's refusal to go home in order not to be nagged by Xu's mother.

Xu's mother nodded, looked at the time, and urged Xu Dongyou to go to bed. After Xu Dongyou said good night to his parents, he went back to the bedroom.

Xu's father and Xu's mother's financial ability is not high, not to mention that in order to conceal that he was picked up, he quit his job and went to a new city.

Xu's mother became pregnant within a year, and the burden of supporting the family almost fell on Xu's father. After so many years, it was not easy to buy a small house.

So until now, he and his younger brother are still living in the same house. Xu's father and Xu's mother feel very guilty for this, but Xu Dongyou doesn't mind, and his younger brother thinks so too.

When I returned to the bedroom, I could still hear Mother Xu's low voice and Father Xu's chatting in the living room.

There are two beds in the second bedroom, and Xu Dongyou's bed has better lighting. The reason is that Xu Yangchen grew up very strong since he was a child, while Xu Dongyou looks beautiful and slender, which made his parents and younger brother subconsciously take care of him more. Some.

The next day, Xu's mother came back from shopping and gave the things to Xu's father. Xu's father began to cook skillfully.

Breakfast is porridge with preserved egg and lean meat, and little pickles pickled by Xu's father, which are refreshing and slightly spicy. Grandma Chen next door thinks it is delicious.

After eating, Xu Dongyou started sending messages to his younger brother, asking if he would be back today.

After about an hour, Xu Yangchen's message sent a large section.

[I won't go back, so as not to be scolded by my mother, I can just stay in the dormitory and form a team to play games, let's not talk about it, bro, I have to download a copy. 】

Xu Dongyou reluctantly put away his phone and continued eating.

After eating, Xu's father and Xu Dongyou consciously began to wash the dishes and clean up, while Xu's mother sat on the sofa and watched the drama.

Xu Dongyou spent the whole day with Xu's father and Xu's mother as much as possible, and only left for school in the evening.

During the period, Xu Dongyou would occasionally find time to go to the office to learn how to draw talismans, and then on Saturdays and Sundays, he would go to the top floor and Jiu Chao to learn the spell of "avoiding water".

According to Jiu Chao, avoiding water is the first spell that almost all monsters choose to learn. The reason is that most monsters are afraid of water, and wet hair is very uncomfortable.

If you learn to avoid water, you will not be soaked when you enter the water. If you have enough demon power, you can also easily control the water, so that you can dive into the bottom of the sea without breathing.

It is a very practical ability.

That is, every time you use the "water-avoiding" ability, you must use the mantra formula to activate it. Jiu Chao suggested that Xu Dongyou had better memorize this mantra so that it can be compressed into three seconds before you can finish it.

In case something happens, you may panic, and there is a high possibility that you will not be able to think of reciting the incomplete mantra.

Xu Dongyou conscientiously implemented what Jiu Chao said. Whenever he had time, he would recite the mantra in his heart, and at the same time try to control the aura and monster energy to swim all over his body.

Because he was busy studying, Xu Dongyou did not go with Tian Ze to pick up the task, because Tian Ze's task this time was in a small town, more than two hours away from the city.

During this period, Xu Dongyou also asked Mr. Chen about the law of Zhulong's awakening and sleeping time.

Mr. Chen said: "In the beginning, Candle Dragon would only wake up for hundreds of years, but recently the time for waking up has become shorter and shorter. In the past ten years, it has been awakened almost every six months, and this year, it has become a month. Waking up once."

Xu Dongyou was puzzled, and asked Mr. Chen in a low voice, "Why did this happen?"

Old Chen said while pouring tea: "I don't know, maybe part of the reason is related to the gradual recovery of the ancient candle dragon's power."

Xu Dongyou's eyelashes trembled.

If you wake up once a month.

So this month, Zhulong has woken up twice, the more Xu Dongyou thought about it, the more he felt that the reason for Zhulong's early awakening might be related to himself.

But this is just speculation.

Apart from running back and forth between the school and the processing bureau, Xu Dongyou occasionally begged Jiu Chao to take him into the sealing formation.

Zhulong still fell asleep in the same posture as when Xu Dongyou left last time, showing no sign of waking up.

The processing bureau is also urging the factory to make a huge version of the water dispenser for Candle Dragon, and it will be ready in a few days.

Immediately afterwards, the captain contacted Xu Dongyou and asked Xu Dongyou to learn how to drive a crane.

Due to the huge size of the candle dragon, and this is the first time to try to send things to the sealing formation.

No one knows whether Zhulong will go crazy seeing these things, and it will be even more troublesome if the things are broken and the water overflows.

So just to be on the safe side, the Processing Bureau made a huge version of the water dispenser, which was only five meters long and seven meters high, and it was filled with nearly a thousand liters of water.

This is enough for Zhulong to drink three mouthfuls.

Xu Dongyou felt that he seemed to be busier, and he didn't have time to go home on Saturdays or Sundays, so he called Xu's father and Xu mother in advance to tell him that there were activities in the school club and he couldn't go home.

Xu's mother and Xu's father said they knew, let Xu Dongyou study hard without worrying about his family.

After Xu Dongyou hung up the phone, he began to devote himself to new studies.

In about two days, Xu Dongyou learned some simple driving skills, and then with the help of the staff of the processing bureau, he tied up the water dispenser and hung it on the crane. In addition, there were three pieces of cooked beef that were cooked in a special way. Corrosion was carried out.

There is no need to worry about the beef rotting within a month.

However, there are only two entrances into the sealing formation, but none of them can hold a huge crane, but this can't help the people in the processing bureau.

They separated the crane in advance, and then assembled it after entering the sealing formation. In the future, this thing can be directly placed here for Xu Dongyou to use at any time.

Xu Dongyou sat on the driver's seat of the crane, and under the watchful eyes of Mr. Chen and the director of the branch, he slowly started the crane and entered the sealing formation carefully.
