Pisces

A heavy rain after the cold dew made the atmosphere of October suddenly tense. The disaster before the heavy rain was quickly pressed by the officials. Before the official exposure, the air in the entire university town seemed to be gray.

Even while waiting for the Sonic Sending Tower to be repaired, the crowd still seems to be tensed. For example, students dare not talk and laugh loudly on campus, everyone is walking with their heads down, and many people will unconsciously bypass the central square... …

A week later, the school was instructed to commemorate Professor Yun Hongxuan publicly, and the real identity of the highly respected old professor Yun Hongxuan as a mermaid was revealed again, but this time no one spread rumors about him taking advantage of academic advantages, and everyone respected him. In praise of his selfless merit, the major colleges and universities in the university city jointly held a grand funeral for him, and representatives from all walks of life came to express their condolences.

It also includes the Mermaid Committee and the Fish Academy.

Qi Qiao, the director of Siyu Academy, was not present in person, and Qi Xi was also absent.

After Qi Xi went back that night, she fell into a coma until the day of the funeral. When she woke up, it was dusk. It was the first day with sunset after the cold dew. The setting sun melted gold and the evening clouds merged, and the golden light made her slightly squint her eyes.

Little Joe the parrot flew up to her shoulder chirping, hooking her little paws around her narrow shoulder straps proudly.

Qi Xi caressed the little bird's head with one hand, and found that she seemed to have the sequelae of Huang Liang's dream, and her whole body was dizzy, everything in the dream was so real, she even remembered the raging waves of the blue sea hitting the cliff It's just that the sea water in the dream is not cold, but it's so hot that she hurts.

What else is coming...

It seems that there is still Qi Qiao?I even took her...

Qi Xi felt goosebumps all over her body, and she blamed combination fever, thinking that this unreliable disease must have given her such unrealistic thoughts.

Xiao Qiao suddenly fluttered her wings and nestled on Qi Xi's collarbone: "I pray that Qiao is the most beautiful in the world! Nuwa is all set up!"

"Ah?" Qi Xi was taken aback. She looked around the room and found that there was no sign of Qi Qiao, so she lowered her head and scratched Xiao Qiao's head with one finger, "You are here? Just now Where did you learn that?"

Of course, the red-faced parrot wouldn't communicate with Qi Xi. It just combed its feathers and ignored Qi Xi's questions.

Qi Xi is currently staying in the villa area under the name of the Mermaid Committee, which happens to be not very far from home, and five kilometers away is a building where the mermaids live together. The infrastructure is very convenient... But it is still quite far from the Siyuyuan Yes, so how did Xiao Qiao learn this tongue?

Qi Xi struggled in place for a long time, staring at Qi Qiao's profile picture for a while but didn't dare to click on it. The day was too hectic, I don't know if there was any discord in her heart...

"...Uncle Jing Shun, where are you?"

Qi Xi received a video request from the president Wei Xin. As soon as she opened it, she saw Xu Jingshun with a serious face. He was wearing a formal black suit today, with a cold white fish-shaped needle pinned to his chest. Like going to someone's funeral.

Wei Xin also wore the same attire. Although it didn't rain today, Qi Xi saw a huge black umbrella on her head, and her already unwell complexion was sucked away by the deep black.

"Qi Xi...I asked Xiaolu to pick you up. You pack up and adjust a little bit, and start as soon as possible, and arrive at Yates before twelve o'clock tonight."

"What are you going there for? Isn't Yates a wedding church?" Qi Xi took a closer look and found that the president and Uncle Jing Shun were indeed wearing whitebait pins on their chests. The brooches of this style were the mermaid committee's silent tribute to a certain person. An item that would only be worn by elders, Qi Xi couldn't figure out why the president would wear silver fish needles to a wedding church.

"The news of Elder Yun Hongxuan's death not only alarmed the inner court, but those people were also furious and demanded an urgent meeting tonight...the inner court may undergo a major shake-up in the near future."

Qi Xi still couldn't make it before twelve o'clock that night, half an hour before she was about to arrive, Wei Xin sent a simple and hasty message to Qi Xi - the situation is special tonight, don't come!Don't go back to the committee either!Find a safe place to stay for a while.

"Sister Qi Xi, are you hungry?" Lu Yan, who was driving, turned his head and showed a big smile.

Qi Xi didn't realize it all at once: "Not too hungry...what's the matter?"

Oh, I almost forgot, I still owe this guy two cups of milk tea!

Qi Xi: "Let's go, please drink milk tea."

"Okay!" Lu Yan didn't look back this time, he took out his phone and looked at it for a moment, then slowly changed direction following the navigation...

"President, the arrangement is ready." Xu Jingshun walked into the venue quickly, bowed his head and whispered in Wei Xin's ear, "We estimated the route of Qi Xi's daily activities and sent 81 people to protect her. Fifteen trustworthy people were released...President, I don't understand, since you have already planned to bring her to the light, why did you hide her again at this time? Aren't you afraid that the elders will blame you?"

"Qi Xi will come to this meeting sooner or later, but it's not now, haven't you noticed? Ever since the mermaid escaped the attack on Qi Xi last time, veteran Yun Hongxuan, the Academy of Special Sciences, the Anti-Fish Organization, and the Academy of Fish have all been involved ...Even the special hospital was alarmed, I don't think this series is just a coincidence, it is very likely that someone is mixing the water, forcing us to be in a hurry."

Sitting at the formal table, Wei Xin, the president, actually spoke for the first time. She wasn't completely hoarse, but her voice was soft and gentle. Except for some words that could be heard hoarsely broken, she was no different from ordinary people. Talking is no different.

"I want her to take over all of this step by step. I don't want to push her into this position in a daze, and turn her into a numb and twisted exhibit like them..." Wei Xin raised his hand to take off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, hiding them under the lens His gaze was unusual, as if a green leaf had floated into an ancient well without waves, peaceful and deep.

"...President, Qi Xi and the others don't seem to be going home." Xu Jingshun watched the location red dot on the phone map gradually deviate from the route, and frowned, "What's up with that bastard Lu Yan?"

Wei Xin tilted his back and leaned on the seat relaxedly: "Don't make a fuss, maybe I went to buy supper."

This milk tea shop was too far away, Qi Xi watched the lights outside the window gradually dim, and the bustling urban area had been left behind unknowingly, she silently turned on her phone and found that her signal had been blocked.

"Sister Qi Xi." Lu Yan called her, looking straight ahead, his voice trembling slightly, "Sorry, I can't take you home."

"Tell me the reason." Qi Xi, who was kidnapped, was not worried about what Lu Yan would do. She even wanted to laugh when she heard his nervous tone, "I don't have tigers and wolves in my family."

"I was not an only child at the beginning. I once had a half-sister who was about the same age as you. She passed away five years ago..."

Qi Xi: "..."

In fact, she never knew about Lu Yan's family situation at all, and she was not interested in knowing about any grievances and wishes, but since the other party took the initiative to talk about it, she didn't mind being a quiet tree hole.

"Five years ago, it was also a general mermaid meeting. My aunt asked me to attend and gain some insight. On the way there, we were targeted. They wanted to take us back to claim credit, but my sister refused to let me go. They took us to the lab and drove the car straight into the ocean—but she's human and can't go in the water."

Qi Xi's sitting posture didn't change a bit: "Well, Xiaolu, if the condition is not good, let me drive it instead, you organize the language first."

It's not that Qi Xi doesn't want to believe him, it's just that this matter is too magical and realistic. First, no one would chase and kill others on the street in broad daylight. Second, there is no sea near Artes, so the hard conditions for driving into the sea are not established.

"Sister Qi Xi, don't be angry. I didn't treat you as her substitute. I just said this to tell you, before my aunt pushes you to the bright side, get out of this damn place." Lu Yan drove faster and faster Hurry up and speak so fast, "Especially this meeting, it was a meeting on the surface, but it was actually drawing lots to take away some mermaids. I used to think that the previous tragedies would never happen again, at least this kind of crazy meeting would no longer happen. Appeared, I didn't expect that five years later... Sister Qi Xi, I heard people say that your bloodline is very pure, they will definitely not let you go easily, you showed your face at the conference, but you are considered a thief!"

Qi Xi remembered that Xu Jingshun told herself that the water in the inner courtyard was deep. At that time, she only thought that the old guys in the inner courtyard were good at intrigue, and she didn't think about the depth at all.Thinking about it now, it is really not easy for Xu Jingshun to say the "depth of water".

"Sister Qi Xi, there is one more thing you may need to listen to in general. Your friend Song Ru, she was not born with a deformity." Lu Yan said, "She was originally a pure-blooded Pisces, but was killed by those People ascended to high positions and tore down altars, experienced several ups and downs, and finally ended up distorted when they defected...Who knew they would put another malicious personality on a normal girl? I don't know the current one' Song Ru' is not revered as the Song Ru herself before the elders."

Or... now Song Ru's shell is just a "elder" with a supreme status who has lived for hundreds of years and should have signed in at the underworld right away?

Qi Xi sat in a standard posture, her slender five fingers suddenly grasped the wrist of the other hand, and fine goosebumps spread inch by inch along her back to the back of her neck.

"That's 'Pisces', how many years does one come out! They keep saying that Pisces is a god, but they are merciless when killing gods." With a serious expression, "If you treat the gods like this, it will not do any good for you to go there. Auntie wants you to be in charge, so you must not be fooled by her."

Qi Xi grasped the key point and asked: "The president is your aunt, how could she not protect your siblings?"

"The president is my aunt, but not my sister's aunt. My sister's mother is human. At that time, the decree prohibiting intermarriage was not so strict. But after my father and her mother married secretly, people in the clan disagreed. Well, they originally planned to elect my father as the president, but they had no choice but to choose my aunt as the next best thing. After my aunt came to power, my sister and her mother passed away not long after..." Lu Yan added, "Later, my father Married my mother, who is also a mermaid, and had me."

Qi Xi fell silent, feeling that the fault of the accident five years ago might not necessarily be anyone's fault, only a foolish boy like Lu Yan who hated evil and hatred could be deceived by those nonsense, and she hadn't heard of anyone holding a national meeting. To make such a weird act of randomly killing the participants?

Don't reason with drunks, don't argue logic with emotional people, Qi Xi persuaded based on this principle: "Well, let's not go to the meeting, Xiao Lu, send me back to my original residence."

Lu Yan didn't speak, but kept accelerating.

Qi Xi suddenly felt bad, the scenery outside the window was so close that the afterimages could not be seen clearly, but the lights were almost completely gone, the car seemed to have strayed into the dark road, only the whistling wind and the occasional bumpy ups and downs of the car reminded them ——The vehicle is still driving at high speed!

What is this place?The car didn't run a red light so fast?What about the people outside...

"Stop."

Qi Xi gritted her teeth secretly, trying to interfere with Lu Yan's thoughts - the ability to hallucinate is really addictive and really useful.

At this moment, the mobile phone that had no signal for a long time suddenly gave a light reminder. Qi Xi lowered her head and glanced at it. It was an unfamiliar message:

where did you wake upI may be going on a business trip to a distant place recently, and I want to come and see you again.

It stands to reason that Qi Xi shouldn't be distracted to read an endless text message at such an important moment, but she just thought of Xiao Qiao's eloquence - pray that Qiao is the most beautiful in the world, and Nuwa is perfect!

Even the brainless fans wouldn't be able to boast about such an immodest statement, but who else could say it except for the ostentatious master?That is to say, Qi Qiao went to see herself while she was in a coma.

By the way, I promised that she would not abuse her ability.

Qi Xi put away what she was about to say for the second time, and lowered her head to send a message back to Qi Qiao: I don't know where it is, but I may not be able to go back.

At the same moment when the message was successfully sent, Qi Qiao's phone call came simultaneously.

The background noise over there was very noisy, but she said - don't be afraid, I'm coming.

Although she is not sure how Qi Qiao locates herself, after Qi Xi heard those words, all doubts and anxieties were automatically isolated from her heart. Qi Qiao seemed to be her god, who took pity on the world and was lost in the world. The believer stretched out a hand to lead her away from this boring vicious circle.

In fact, Qi Xi is not very afraid. She always treats people indifferently, and does not have much emotional ups and downs when encountering major events, just like when Lu Yan told her painful memories bravely, not only did she not be affected by his emotions, but Will calmly pull the clues in his words.

The only thing that can affect Qi Xi's emotions is Qi Qiao's singing voice. She has listened to every song of Qi Qiao, no matter how popular it is, no matter what style it is, she can always enjoy it.

How can there be someone in the world who is so fond of her...

In such an urgent situation, Qi Xi even had time to draw a heart on the car window.

"I can't take you back, sister Qi Xi, didn't you find out? There was no one in that area this afternoon, they all went to Yatesi along the dark sea, and you are the only one in the whole residential area." Lu Yan After a long time, he continued, "I can't believe anyone, including my aunt and Uncle Jing, they will definitely send someone to protect you, but it's hard to say whether there are 'them' among the people they send. "

Qi Xi: "President and Uncle Jing Shun? Lu Yan, are you too suspicious? How could it be possible for the two of them."

Lu Yan's whole body seemed to be picked up from the sea. The great anxiety made him sweat profusely, and the strands of sweat-drenched hair hung down in front of his forehead in different shapes, which gave him a rare sense of vulnerability. And this sense of fragility overwhelmed the usual cheerfulness on his body, and in the end a contrasting sense of beauty emerged.

Qi Xi looked at Lu Yan completely from the perspective of a bystander: "Xiao Lu, you need to calm down now."

"Uncle Jing Shun made a name for himself in the Mermaid Committee 50 years ago. Some of his old acquaintances are very senior members of the Senate, and some are secretly in the high-level circles of society. He socializes too much and has endless drinks every day, but he can only stand in a daze. Doing trivial jobs like a secretary by my aunt's side, living like a pauper but always not lacking Yingying Yanyan, is it normal?"

It's hard for Qi Xi to imagine that this heartless boy would one day dissect a middle-aged man who can't see the city clearly. The pain buried in his heart has finally outweighed the passing of time...

"To put it simply, he is a ferocious beast imprisoned by the president's three rings and five buckles, and also a fierce dragon guarding in front of the cave." Qi Xi thoughtfully made a metaphor for him, "He is also" Those people' overseers of the president."

As soon as Qi Xi finished speaking, Lu Yan suddenly turned the steering wheel, and the screeching brakes immediately sounded one after another!

There was no sun, moon and stars in the sky outside. A few dazzling high beams only illuminated a small area. Qi Xi and the others' cars were surrounded in the middle. When she looked outside, she could only see the light rising slowly under the lights. The white mist and the stern and cold black cars-what a coincidence, this thing that sounds more nonsense than nonsense is actually true!

"When you get under the water, you can just run away against the current. The dark sea will only be opened when the meeting is held. It is estimated that there will be no other mermaids stagnant in the dark sea at this point." Lu Yan stared at it intently. Looking at the nearby vehicles, "The source of the dark sea is Nanyu Bay, sister Qi Xi, that is the home you should return to."

Qi Xi: "Where are you going?"

The convoy in front slowly spread out in the shape of a "person" to create momentum for the leading vehicle in the middle, and the vehicle that received the courtesy was not in a hurry, and politely turned on the headlights three times to Qi Xi and the others. move forward.

"I'll help you back up." Lu Yan wiped off the sweat from his head, pulled out a beautiful black umbrella from the car door, "Have you heard the sound of the ocean current? Just go straight in that direction."

Qi Xi didn't answer, she closed her eyes, her spiritual sense swept over everyone present, and suddenly found that in this absolute field, she could actually control the other party's mood... The benefits are not great, it is limited to "follow me", "don't Move" is such a simple command.

That's enough. Qi Xi, who lived in a peaceful age, did not dare to take life and death on land. She watched Xiao Xiao's soul coldly, and decided to let them return to their hometown in the treacherous dark sea. This seems to have a more touching sense of ritual. .

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yan had already walked into the fog with an umbrella, and Qi Xi decisively gave the "pause" instruction to half of the enemies present, and at the same time rushed towards the dark sea with the other half.

As the leader's vehicle had just given way to a gap in the convoy, Qi Xi let the enemy clear the way and followed them to the legendary dark sea.

The subordinates were out of control. The people in the leader's car could only condescend to go out in person. Someone opened the car door for him. He bent down very casually, and walked out swaggeringly with his hands in his pockets.

This is a young man in white song trousers. The young man is tall and handsome, and with black hair that reaches his waist, he has an indistinguishable beauty...Many children would scream when they saw it. The kind of beautiful sister.

The young man's white clothes were a bit like the Wei Jin-made interleaved jackets, with wide and soft cuffs, and the hem was tucked into his waist. He stood casually like that and looked at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan was furious, but cold sweat broke out again and again. Facing the immeasurable enemy, he was like a bird with fluffy feathers, making people feel distressed and funny for no reason.

The originally unsmiling young man stared at him silently for a few seconds, then suddenly helplessly smiled and said: "Why do they always make me do such things to scare children."

His respectful subordinates broke out in cold sweat from his laughter, and hurried forward and whispered: "Young Master Tan, you have come out to help twice, and you met him both times."

"Huh? Is it him?"

This time, the interest in the young man's eyes is as real as it is, and anyone can see it without the need for his subordinates to speculate.

The subordinate asked: "Then shall we take them back?"

The young man turned around and returned to the car: "Take it."

The subordinates waved to other vehicles: "Take people to Artes!"

The young man who was about to get in the car held the door and turned around: "No, we won't go, it's getting late today, go home."
