Yokai Atlas Remake Project

Chapter 57

Overcast clouds, lightning and thunder, bean-sized raindrops hit the glass, making a splintering sound, which lasted for a long time.

Zhou Xi is used to staying vigilant even in his sleep. He woke up the moment the rain just started? He glanced out through the floor-to-ceiling windows, only seeing the dark sky, and couldn't tell the time when it appeared.

The sea outside the window was still vast, but because of the heavy rain, it lost the deep tranquility of the night before and became turbulent and surging.

Zhou Xi stood by the window and looked at it for a while before turning back? He glanced at the time, it was just 07:30 in the morning.

Bu Heng should not have gotten up yet.

If Zhou Qi could really convince the female bird, he would be able to return to Yunzhou today, maybe he would still be there? In time to pick up Bu Heng from get off work.

The sound of footsteps came from the corridor, and finally stopped at the door? The other party seemed to be struggling for a while, and came outside the door? After turning around twice, he still couldn't muster up the courage to knock on the door, so he simply stood by the wall .

You don't need to distinguish carefully to know who it is.

Zhou Xi fully opened the half-covered curtains, turned around to open the door, and turned on all the lights in the room as he passed the door. The room, which had been dark all morning, was finally lit up.

When the door opened, the roe yaoming, who was leaning against the wall, was obviously taken aback and bounced up. He stood up straight and looked at Zhou Xi: "Did I... woke you up?"

This roe deer demon must have driven a car. He stopped the car without taking an umbrella, and ran a few steps in the rain. Although his clothes were not soaked, there was still rain on his head and face.

Zhou Xi took a step back, let him in, casually picked up the paper on the coffee table and threw it into his arms: "Clean up quickly."

The roe deer demon took the paper and subconsciously wiped it on his face twice before he belatedly said, "Thank you."

He put the bag he was holding tightly in his other hand on the coffee table, "Stop by? I bought some breakfast. It's a very famous pan-fried restaurant in our city. You can try it."

The bag was still emitting heat, so it must have just been bought? He hurriedly brought it here?

"Thank you." Zhou Xi thanked habitually, sat down on the sofa, opened the bag and took out the lunch box.

Holding a tissue in his hand, the roe deer demon was stunned for a long time before recovering from the fact that Yazi had just thanked him. He wiped the rainwater off his body indiscriminately, and sat down on a chair on the other side. , watching Zhou Yan eating breakfast, after a long while, he suddenly asked: "Mr. Zhou, are we going to visit Lovebird's previous residence today?"

Zhou Yan swallowed the food in his mouth, and was about to speak, when the mobile phone on the coffee table rang, he touched it, took a look, and Zhou Qifa sent a message: "At the gate of the zoo and botanical garden, the female bird will find you."

Zhou Xi frowned, raised his head, and said to the roe deer monster, "Go to the zoo and botanical garden."

"Go again?" The roe deer asked subconsciously, but after seeing Zhou Xi's expression, he nodded again, "Okay."

The rain is getting bigger and bigger, and the raindrops are falling on the windshield. Just after the wiper wiped, there are new raindrops falling, gradually flowing on the glass like a stream, coupled with the bursts of steaming fog, making the driving experience more difficult. The field of vision became very difficult, and the roe deer demon had to slow down the speed of the car and concentrate on the road conditions. It took almost double the time to drive all the way to the zoo and botanical garden.

The car stopped at the parking lot at the entrance of the zoo and botanical garden, but Zhou Xi didn't get out of the car in a hurry. Instead, he lowered his head, pressed his phone twice, and turned his eyes to look out the car window.

The roe deer turned its head? I didn't know why after looking at it? Why did Zhou Yan, who sat in the passenger seat today, asked in a low voice, "Aren't we going to get out of the car?"

"Well," Zhou Ling unconsciously tapped on the car window with his knuckles, "Just wait."

"Oh."

Because of the torrential rain, the number of tourists in the zoo and botanical garden was significantly less. Occasionally, a few people went in in the rain early in the morning. They probably couldn't handle the increasing rain. Out.

Zhou Yan leaned on the car window and looked out aimlessly. From a distance, he saw a human cub wearing a bright yellow raincoat crying and being dragged away by his parents. He probably realized that he was really going to be killed. The cub was very reluctant when he was taken away from the zoo. From bowing his head to crying, he turned into crying, and even wanted to break free from the parent's grip, turned around and ran back.

Probably because the cub was crying so earth-shatteringly, the parent hesitated for a moment, and led him into a colorful house near the entrance of the garden. When he came out after a while, the cub had already stopped Crying, took off the raincoat and was hugged by the parents obediently.

And himself? Holding a fluffy toy tiger in his arms.

The toy tiger is not too big, just big enough for the cub to hold in his arms. It may be that the texture is not bad, and it looks lifelike when viewed from a distance.

Zhou Yan watched the family of three come out of the garden gate all the way to the parking lot, then got into the car and left. After a moment of silence, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the driver's seat: "What is that house? Where is it?"

"Huh?" The roe deer monster just watched the whole process of how adults subjugate human cubs just now, and subconsciously raised his head when he heard Zhou Xi's words, and then explained, "It's just a souvenir shop in every scenic spot. Make something cute Snacks, postcards, luggage tags, refrigerator magnets, um, and the plush dolls that the kid was holding just now, they are sold to tourists who want to take souvenirs home, especially popular with children.”

Zhou Ximing obviously ignored his other questions. He replied, only grasping one important point: "Aside from tigers, are there other things?"

The roe deer scratched its head: "Should there be? Surrounding souvenirs or something? The zoo and botanical garden earns a lot of money. In order to attract tourists, there should be surroundings for any animals that the garden can afford."

"Understood." After Zhou Xi finished speaking, he pushed open the door of the car, and in the exclamation of the roe deer monster, he dropped a sentence, "Someone will come later, wait in the car."

Then I rushed into the rain without looking back.

If Yazi's words were spoken, probably no monster would dare to ignore them.

The roe deer fidgeted and waited in the car for a while, but didn't see anyone approaching. Instead, he saw Zhou Xi running quickly from the garden with a bag in his arms.

The roe deer monster hasn't come yet? Before he could get out of the car and send an umbrella there, Zhou Yan had already opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. He turned his head and glanced at the back seat, frowning slightly: "Not yet?"

The roe deer nodded, and handed over the tissue in a hurry: "It's raining too much, your clothes are almost soaked."

"It'll be done in a while," Zhou Yan took out a piece of paper, wiped his hands, opened the bag he had been protecting all the time, and the fluffy white doll poked its head out.

The roe deer stared at the doll, and said for a long time, "This is... a white lion, right?"

"Well," Zhou Yan responded, reached out and rubbed the top of the doll's head, and then smoothed the light hair with one finger. "It's a pity that the eyes are dark."

The roe deer demon didn't know what to say for a while, and then he had nothing to say: "It's quite cute, did you buy it for a friend's cub?"

"No."

Zhou Xi patiently smoothed all the fur on the doll's body, and put it back into the bag with gentle and careful movements. The roe deer opened its mouth wide and said casually: "That's it for someone you like, come out? Play? , it’s normal to bring souvenirs to people you like.”

Zhou Yan paused and looked up at the driver's seat.

Facing his eyes, the roe deer demon reacted belatedly. What did he say just now? He shook his head hastily, and said with an awkward smile, "I, I was just joking."

Zhou Xi withdrew his gaze from him, carefully sorted out the bag containing the doll, and didn't speak any more.

There was a brief silence in the car, and the heavy rain outside the car has not stopped.

All of Zhou Yan's patience was probably spent on that plush doll. The expression on his face had already begun to become impatient. He touched his phone and was about to make a call. The roe deer who had been looking out the window suddenly turned his head: "Could it be that person?"

Zhou Yan looked up and saw a woman in a black slim dress holding a big black umbrella, coming out of the garden gracefully. She looked around until she saw the parking lot, and seemed to have found her target. Walked over from afar?

The heavy rain seemed to make her very irritable, and she frowned all the way over. When she saw the co-driver Zhou Yan in front of the car, she seemed a little scared, but she came straight over and reached out and knocked on the window.

Zhou Xi didn't open the door, but turned his head and glanced backwards, the woman opened the door of the back seat and got into the car.

Only then did the roe deer demon fully see the woman's appearance?It was an impressive face, with profound features, with only light makeup and even no lipstick, it was still hard to hide its beauty.

It's just that her complexion is not very good, her lips are pale, and she looks haggard.

After the woman sat down firmly, she took out a tissue and a mirror from her satchel, and checked herself carefully. There was no residual rain on her face, and then she looked up at the co-pilot: "Jazi? This is the first time I've seen you in human form."

The long wait made Zhou Yan very dissatisfied. He didn't even turn his head? He glanced at the roe deer demon who was still quietly looking at the rear-view mirror in the driver's seat: "Let's go."

The roe deer started the car obediently, and while driving out of the parking lot, asked, "Where are you going now?"

"At the airport," Zhou Xi said, "book two tickets back to Yunzhou."

"Ah?" The roe deer was taken aback, "You are going back now? But isn't that female still..."

"Look back with your eyes wide open? Look," Zhou Yan said impatiently, "Who do you think is sitting behind?"

The roe deer subconsciously stepped on the brakes, and the car came to a crooked stop on the side of the road? Ignoring the pull of the seat belt, she turned her body and looked at the back seat: "Are you the female bird?"

The expression of the female bird froze for a moment. The roe deer demon Ming? Ming? Just asked her identity, but it seemed that she had directly touched the sad things accumulated in her heart.

She closed the mirror in her hand, not looking at her eyes that were gradually turning red: "It's me."

"Then..." The roe deer started the car again under Zhou's stingy gaze, "Should we report to the branch and the Elders' Headquarters first?"

"No," Zhou Xi said, "Book two tickets first, and when the plane lands, you can report to the branch leader. As for the Elders' Headquarters, I will take care of it."

The roe deer demon has gotten used to obeying Zhou Xi's words within two days, and drove directly to the airport without even asking "why?"
