Picked up a deep sea lord

District D is more lively than the suburb where Ye Jian lives, and there is a small commercial street nearby.On the way back, Ye Jian came to this commercial street purposely and bought Luo Ling the candied haws he had been thinking about.

Luo Ling nestled in Ye Jian's arms, her fish tail dangling from side to side, gnawing on candied haws.

From the corner of her eye, Ye Jian noticed the sharp tip of his swaying fish tail, and couldn't help reaching out her hand, wanting to pinch it gently.

Luo Ling looked at him eagerly, and stretched out her beautiful translucent tail fin, allowing Ye Jian to pinch it.

The tail fin is light and soft and feels good to the touch.A little higher is the black fish tail with smooth and flawless scales.

Ye Jian: "So the tail is still not touched?"

Luo Ling: "..."

Luo Ling retracted into the blanket without saying a word, her tail fin slightly curled up, trying to get into the blanket.

Well, this time I didn't even touch the tip of the tail.

Ye Jian withdrew her hand, thoughtful.

The fish tail seems to be very important to mermaids, it is a part that cannot be easily touched.

At least the little mermaid was willing to let him touch his head and pinch his tail fin, but never let him touch his tail.

Well, then don't touch it.

Seeing Luo Ling buried in the soft blanket, Ye Jian only peeked at herself with a pair of dark eyes, lowered her head, and smiled at the little mermaid.

Luo Ling thought Ye Jian looked pretty when she smiled.

So he quietly popped his head out of the blanket, rubbed his face against Ye Jian's shoulder, and continued to gnaw on candied haws.

While gnawing on the candied haws, the little mermaid's gaze gradually shifted, and fell on Ye Jian's soft, black hair.

After a while, he secretly reached out his hand, like a kitten fluttering butterflies, fiddled with Ye Jian's black hair with great interest.

Ye Jian was used to it, letting this active little mermaid play with her hair.

After all, if you stop it, the little mermaid will look at him pitifully, as if being bullied by him.

"Wow! Ow!"

Suddenly there was a sound from the street. Ye Jian turned her head and realized that she happened to pass by a pet shop.

He had never seen this kind of store before, and the reason why he knew it was a pet store was because of the name of the store.

In the cage at the entrance of the pet shop, a fluffy little dumpling was holding a pine nut and clicking. There was a small iron plate in front of its cage with the word "hamster" engraved on it.

Ye Jian looked at the rattling hamster, then at the rattling Luo Ling, with the corners of her mouth slightly curved: "It's exactly the same."

Luo Ling raised her face, and a question mark slowly appeared on her head.

"It's very similar," Ye Jian said, "You're a little hamster."

Luo Ling showed a little bit of aggrieved expression, as if he couldn't help Ye Jian: "Okay, brother can do whatever he wants."

Ye Jian probably thought the hamster's clicking was really interesting, so she took another look.

Luo Ling immediately covered Ye Jian's eyes with her hand, her tone was soft, but her expression was slightly dissatisfied: "Brother is not allowed to see!"

Ye Jian lowered her eyes: "Why?"

"Didn't my brother say that I resemble it?" Luo Ling looked innocently, "Then just look at me, don't look at it."

Ye Jian: "Well..."

"You are so stingy, you are a stingy fish."

A stingy fish is a stingy fish.

Luo Ling grabbed the corner of Ye Jian's clothes, and seeing Ye Jian look away from the hamster, she thought contentedly.

Anyway, he didn't allow Ye Jian to look at those cute little things, he only wanted Ye Jian to look at him alone.

Luo Ling gnawed off the last candied haws, tilted her head and lay on Ye Jian's shoulder, her beautiful ear fins softly rubbed against Ye Jian's face.

In front of the bus platform, an electronic screen was slightly lit, showing the real-time route map of the bus.The bus routes that are running are like snakes, flickering, and the routes that are not running are silent and staggered, paving the background color of the map.

There are only two bus routes in the suburb where Ye Jian lives, one goes to District D and the other to District B.The few two routes make the outskirts of the city appear eclipsed on the map, while Area B and the Area A it connects are like lights lit up at night, and they are huge and bright colors on the map.

Ye Jian had a sudden thought, and said to Luo Ling who was in his arms, "Do you want to go to Area B for a stroll?"

Luo Ling obediently gnawed off the last candied haws: "Wherever Ye Jian goes, I will go."

So Ye Jian hugged Luo Ling and boarded the bus leading to Area B.

District A is the center of the city, while District B is adjacent to District A. It is obviously much more prosperous than the suburbs. The streets are planned in an orderly manner. The shops on both sides are bright and tidy. Although the buildings are not high, they are neatly located on each block. Areas, such as desserts with colorful decorations on top of cream cakes.

Ye Jian: "It's quite beautiful here."

Luo Ling thought it was a novelty when he saw the dusty suburbs before, but now that he came to this relatively prosperous area B, his reaction was very calm: "Fortunately, it's not as beautiful as the seabed."

Ye Jian cast a curious look, Luo Ling raised her hand and gestured lightly: "It's true, there are many pearl shells on the bottom of the sea, and they are shining everywhere, much more beautiful than here."

Ye Jian: "Then when you become an adult, will I be able to see it?"

Luo Ling's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, and he nodded very seriously: "Yes, I can go back with Ye Jian then."

Having said that, he glanced at his fish tail and said in a low voice, "If only I could grow up faster."

Regarding adulthood, it has always been a knot in his heart.

Mermaids have a difficult awakening period before they reach adulthood. Only after passing through the awakening period can they transform and awaken their full power.

For Luo Ling, he had been sleeping in the egg for too long, and the growth after breaking the shell was too short. In addition, now that he lost the reverse scale, he was in a weak state for a long time, and it would only be more difficult to survive the awakening period.

But no matter what, he must step through this hurdle.

Luo Ling stared at the wound where the fish tail had lost its scale, and silently grabbed the corner of Ye Jian's clothes.

Only when he becomes an adult can he get back all his power and everything that belongs to him.

Only when he is an adult can he firmly grasp what he has and not be taken away by others.

Weak people are always easy to lose everything and let themselves be fished by mermaids.

"Does the wound hurt?"

The slender hand gently landed on the head with an unmistakable gentleness.

Luo Ling raised his head and looked at Ye Jian without blinking.

Ye Jian's knuckles bent slightly: "Would you like to take a bite?"

Luo Ling shook her head immediately, and gently held Ye Jian's hand with both hands.

"It doesn't hurt." The little mermaid said softly, "It's been a long time since I felt pain."

He was wrapped in a warm blanket, and the fish's tail was carefully wrapped with a snow-white bandage and tied in a beautiful knot.

All of this was given to him by Ye Jian.

Even when it was cold at night, his wound was aching and he couldn't sleep, but as long as he thought of Ye Jian by his side, he would feel at ease.

Luo Ling lowered her head, resting her forehead on Ye Jian's fingers, silently feeling the warmth of this person.

After a few seconds, he buried his face in Ye Jian's shoulder without saying a word, nestled in Ye Jian's arms, and remained motionless.

Ye Jian looked at the clingy little mermaid and poked his little face lightly.

Luo Ling shook the fish's tail.

"The environment here is better than the suburbs," Ye Jian continued to walk forward, "Do you want to move here?"

When Luo Ling heard this, her first reaction was to shake her head: "No, the price here must be very expensive."

He is very good, a little mermaid who only saves money.

Hmm...candied haws are cheap, so that doesn't count as saving money.

"Then let's see." Ye Jian didn't insist, "We can think about moving in two days."

Two days later, he will come to Area D again to ask Orr for his answer.

If he could join the explorer team, he would have a chance to leave the city, and then he wouldn't have to worry about the source of funds.If not...then he can only look for other opportunities.

Maybe a good job?

Luo Ling: "Then, should I practice singing and blowing bubbles now?"

Ye Jian looked at him, and said with a smile: "I won't really let you perform." After speaking, he muttered again: "It feels like no one is watching."

Luo Ling: "?"

Ye Jian's expression was serious: "It's human effort, no matter what, there is always a way."

Luo Ling nodded slightly aggrieved.

He still thinks he sings very well.

If you go to the street to perform, someone will definitely listen!

"Newly launched communication bracelet, weekend promotion, don't need 998, only 188..."

An unfamiliar electronic sound sounded from one side, and Ye Jian stopped.

On their left is a shop that sells communication bracelets. The glass door is open, and brand new communication bracelets are displayed on the counter.

When Ye Jian first came to this city, she noticed that many people were wearing such communication bracelets.

Mo Sen, who had hitched a ride before, showed him this kind of bracelet. It seems that it not only has the function of communication, but also has many functions.

Luo Ling: "Does Ye Jian want to buy this?"

"Well," Ye Jian said, "Go in and have a look."

The sales lady in the store was very enthusiastic, and carefully showed them the functions of the communication bracelet, and strongly recommended the latest communication bracelet - it is said to have the clearest camera pixels, with its own beauty, equipped with a superior processor, You can play the triple-A masterpieces, plus the current discount, only 230 coins.

Ye Jian was very grateful for her recommendation and agreed with her opinion very much.

Then I chose a bracelet from last year with a slightly lower price.

Only 120 coins!

There is a discount for buying two, a total of 220 coins!

Luo Ling didn't expect that Ye Jian would also buy him a communication bracelet. The brand new black bracelet was wrapped around his wrist, and he cherished touching it, not daring to use force for fear of breaking it.

Ye Jian: "Add a friend."

He lightly touched Luo Ling's bracelet with his white bracelet, and only heard a "beep", a string of data flowed on the bracelets of the two, and the first name appeared in the empty address book.

Luo Ling looked at the only name in the address book with no expression on her face, but when Ye Jian was not paying attention, she quietly set this name as special attention.

The communication bracelet can connect to the Internet, and there are various information on the Internet. Ye Jian finally figured out some things by surfing the Internet when she returned.

Many years ago, a major pollution broke out in this world. The current strange beasts were born from the pollution source. They can be killed, but they are extremely numerous and endless.To this day, human beings have not found a way to completely eliminate the alien beasts.

Alien beasts feed on humans and will actively attack and hunt humans.Their attacks will also bring pollution. Even if someone is lucky enough to escape the mouth of the beast, he will be eroded by the pollution, his body will gradually weaken, and eventually he will die.

Of course, there are also some lucky ones who miraculously survived despite being polluted.Some of them are still ordinary people, while some have awakened special abilities - the latter are called watchmen.

The number of watchmen is extremely rare, because they can fight against strange beasts, and their status is also very special.The "Shenting" and "Forbidden Land" that Ye Jian had heard about before were the two major watchman organizations, and they were also the backbone of the fight against alien beasts.

As for the difference between the divine court and the forbidden area, Ye Jian was unable to find out for the time being.

Regarding the watchers, the public information is always secretive.

Now Ye Jian only knows that there are three s-level cities in human beings, two of which belong to the sphere of influence of Shenting, and the Twilight Court they are going to is the headquarters of the Forbidden City.

Knowing this, Luo Ling was a little worried: "Will the people in the forbidden area be difficult to talk to?"

"Hmm... I don't know." Ye Jian said, "But we're just looking for something, so it shouldn't be a problem if we don't contact them, right?"

In addition to the Divine Court and the Forbidden Land, there is also a special organization called Scattered Tinder, which absorbs those who have survived the pollution but have no awakening power.The Chen Rao that Ye Jian met before came from the organization Scattering Tinder, and she also belonged to a team of explorers.

People from the three major organizations will spontaneously form a team of explorers. Their task is to clean up the alien beasts around the city. Of course, the expensive spar condensed after the death of the alien beasts is also their source of income.

Luo Ling was not interested in these organizations. He tried to search for the "Twilight Lake" he wanted to go to, but found nothing.

It seems that in the human world, there is no record about this special lake.

"Can Ye Jian find out about her past?"

Ye Jian: "It's not very good, even if you search for my name, you can't find anything."

Luo Ling: "Then, after checking these things, does Ye Jian recall anything?"

Ye Jian was silent for a few seconds: "No."

The light screen of his communication bracelet was turned on, and the latest web page stayed on a picture.

That's a picture of the suspected source of pollution during the initial outbreak.

The picture is old and the background is a little blurry. It can only be seen that it is a huge sunken pit. The bottom of the pit is densely covered with tree roots growing from the ground. There is a crystal liquid flowing between the roots, flickering slightly, and weaving a giant net. .

Ye Jian stared at the picture, suddenly felt dizzy, and pressed her forehead lightly.

"What's wrong?" Luo Ling immediately grabbed Ye Jian's cuff nervously, "Is there something uncomfortable?"

"...It's nothing." The dizziness disappeared quickly, and Ye Jian raised her eyes. "It was just a trance."

He looked at the photo again, and the next second, the communication bracelet automatically shut down because it was out of power.

This communication bracelet that I just bought has only a little power and needs to be charged.

Ye Jian: "Go back."

Luo Ling: "But, you just..."

"It's nothing," Ye Jian said, "It's probably just because I've been watching it for a long time, that's why I'm dizzy."

After speaking, he poked Luo Ling again: "Remember not to look at it for too long."

Luo Ling stared at him for a few seconds, and responded obediently.

After returning, Ye Jian charged the communication bracelet and clicked on the previous photo again.

Some people say that strange beasts were born from the source of pollution, but even today, humans have not found the original source of pollution.

The source of this photo on the Internet is unknown, and its authenticity is doubtful, but when Ye Jian looked at it again, she did not appear dizzy as before.

It seems that this is just an ordinary photo.

Time passed, and soon it was night.Ye Jian squatted by the bathtub, with her sleeves rolled up to her forearms, and replaced Luo Ling with a pool of clean water.

A chubby little yellow duck floated unsteadily on the surface of the water. Ye Jian poked it lightly, and the little yellow duck quacked.

Luo Ling: "..."

"Sure enough," Ye Jian smiled, "It's very similar to you."

He found it in the window of a store when he passed by, and bought it because he thought it was very interesting.

"I don't know how to squawk." Luo Ling's face was sullen, "It's not like that at all."

Ye Jian: "Well, but you can gurgle."

Luo Ling was silent for a second, buried in the water, and muffledly spit out a string of small bubbles.

Ye Jian smiled lightly and got up, drawing the curtain around the bathtub: "I'm going to take a bath."

Hot water flowed from the shower, and the transpiring moisture quickly enveloped the surroundings.Luo Ling floated out from under the bathtub, stared at the little yellow duck for a few seconds, and poked it lightly.

If Ye Jian didn't give it to him, he wouldn't have kept it.

Luo Ling lay on the edge of the bathtub, her fish tail rippling.He had nothing to do while waiting for Ye Jian, so he switched on the waterproof communication bracelet on his wrist.

When Ye Jian opened the curtain after taking a shower, she saw the little mermaid with its head tilted and one hand flicking back and forth on the light screen supported by the communication bracelet.

Ye Jian: "Is it that fun?"

"I'm researching this thing," Luo Ling said seriously, "I just discovered that it can chat."

Ye Jian: "Okay, you continue to study, I'm going to sleep."

He walked a few steps, then turned back to pet the little mermaid: "Remember not to play too late."

Luo Ling nodded obediently.

At night when a bright moon hung over the window frame, Ye Jian on the bed had her eyelashes drooping, but she didn't feel sleepy.

After owning the communication bracelet, he did receive a lot of information about this world.But his memory is still like a frozen lake, without a single crack.

None of those people or things can pry his memory.

Could it be...hasn't he been there?

Ye Jian sat up silently, and lightly pressed the center of her eyebrows.

drop.

The communication bracelet on the bedside vibrated slightly, and then a small light screen lit up.

Ye Jian lowered her eyes, and the only name in the address book sent him a cute emoji.

It's a little blue fish surfing.

The corner of Ye Jian's mouth raised slightly, and she found that there was also a series of expressions under the chat box, so she sent Luo Ling a cat head.

Luo Ling soon sent another crab spitting bubbles.

The two chatted back and forth with emoticons for a while until it was almost twelve o'clock, which was already late at night.

Ye Jian: [It's late, go to sleep]

Luo Ling: [OK]

[Swollen blowfish jg]

Ye Jian rested her fingers on the chat page, thinking that Luo Ling's angry look looked a lot like this little puffer fish.

So cute.

He lay down, closed his eyes, and felt that he should be able to sleep well.

——That night, Ye Jian had another dream.

He dreamed of the ancient tree from the night before, the leaves made of condensed crystals shone like a falling Milky Way, and under the shadow of the tree was a crystal clear lake.

This time, there was no adult mermaid with silver hair and red eyes in the lake, but a small black fish with red eyes swimming around.

Ye Jian squatted by the lake, his shadow cast on the lake surface, causing the little fish to wander curiously.

The little fish chased his shadow, circled around him happily, and surfaced again, spitting out a string of bubbles lightly.

Immediately, the tail of the little black fish dangled like a veil, circling in circles.

Praise me!

Ye Jian was silent for a second, and said honestly: "It's kind of dark, like a small coal ball."

Xiaoyu: "?"

Ye Jian: "My little mermaid is very white."

Xiaoyu: "??"

Ye Jian: "But the bubbles you spit out are the same - they're all so ugly."

Xiaoyu: "???"

Xiaoyu and Ye Jian, who was very talkative, looked at each other for a few seconds.

Anger became a puffer fish.
