Picked up a deep sea lord

Luo Ling was speechless for a few seconds, and gently took Ye Jian's hand: "Brother, it's better not to say anything."

He always felt that if he continued to talk, something strange would happen.

However, Luo Ling still cared about what Ye Jian said before, and shook Ye Jian's hand: "Why did you have to go back to the sea to tell me, brother, can't you tell me here?"

Ye Jian: "No."

Luo Ling flicked the fish tail at him: "Then, can you reveal a little bit——"

Ye Jian covered his mouth and sullenly said, "I understand everything, and it's useless for me to say what I don't understand."

Luo Ling: "?"

Ye Jian pulled up the blanket again to suffocate him.

Luo Ling: "..."

There was no answer, so the little mermaid had no choice but to fall forward, and buried her face softly in Ye Jian's chest.

Ye Jian didn't want to tell him, or rather, Ye Jian was too embarrassed to tell him now...

Is it...

——Actually, when Luo Ling heard Ye Jian say that, he had a guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

But now, Ye Jian's reaction was more certain of Luo Ling's guess.

What Ye Jian wanted to say to him, could it be...

!

really?

The blanket was lifted, and Luo Ling looked at Ye Jian steadfastly, her ruby-like eyes were full of doubts and disbelief...but more of it was uncontrollable joy.

Ye Jian and Luo Ling looked at each other.

Why are you so happy.

...and made him a little embarrassed.

So he covered Luo Ling's eyes.

Luo Ling hugged his hand and started to cling to him without saying a word.

Like a simple intimacy, but also like a beast confirming its own territory, it wants to let this person's whole body be covered with his own breath.

Ye Jian looked at the sticky little mermaid in her arms, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up a little.

The illusion was removed, and the off-road vehicle drove as usual.On the back seat, Luo Ling nestled obediently between Ye Jian's arms, her small face was very serious, expressionless.

The caudal fin under the blanket wiggled and wobbled.

Ye Jian pinched the tail fin precisely.

Luo Ling remained motionless.

Ye Jian let go.

The tail fin swings back and forth, swings back and forth.

Ye Jian laughed lightly.

Chen Rao and Aike Qiqi in the front row turned their heads.

Ye Jian raised her eyes: "What's wrong?"

Chen Rao: "Nothing, nothing!"

Mr. Ye looks so pretty when he smiles!

Luo Ling was silent.

He wanted to hug Ye Jian back.

Carry it back to the sea and only show it to myself!

The little mermaid hugged Ye Jian sullenly, and tried to cover his face with a blanket.

Ye Jian smiled and tapped his head.

The Twilight Garden, like a city wall built of snow, is a more stringent checkpoint than ordinary cities.

Everyone's communication bracelet has been carefully checked and tested, and some questions are asked.When it was Ye Jian's turn, the guard looked at the little boy on his lap and asked in surprise, "Is this your child?"

So young, have children?

Ye Jian: "No."

He paused and said, "He's mine—"

Luo Ling immediately looked up.

Under his slightly expectant eyes, Ye Jian said smoothly: "My good friend's younger brother."

Luo Ling: "..."

Because there is no problem with their communication ID, the guard didn't say anything, asked a few more questions, and raised his hand to pass.

Chen Rao poked her head out from the driver's seat: "Excuse me, we are here by invitation..."

"I know." The guard interrupted her and replied with great experience, "Go to the reception hall in the center of the city and swipe the invitation letter to enter."

Chen Rao: "Thank you!"

The off-road vehicle passed the checkpoint, and Ye Jian's clothes were lightly pulled.

He lowered his eyes, and the little mermaid in his arms had a gloomy gaze. He tugged at the corner of his clothes, and then tugged again.

Ye Jian and Luo Ling looked at each other for a few seconds, then spread their hands together: "I can't help it, I'll call you brother because you don't like me."

There was a narrow smile in his eyes: "How about I tell them next time that you are my good friend...'s brother?"

Luo Ling: "..."

Ye Jian did it on purpose!

Ye Jian is too much!

Luo Ling angrily grabbed the corner of Ye Jian's clothes, refusing to let go.

The off-road vehicle slowly drove into the evening garden, and the members of Chen Rao's explorer team looked around with surprise on their faces.

The snow-white streets spread out neatly in all directions, in perfect order and without a trace of chaos.The roadside is full of blooming roses, brilliant red and spotless white are intertwined, stretching towards the lofty holy white palace in the distance.

when, when, when...

The punctual bell rang, and with the twilight, it sprinkled down the street from the clouds in the palace.

Ye Jian glanced across the street, then raised her hand suddenly, and tapped on the car window: "Can you stop the car?"

There are candied haws stalls!

Ike stepped on the brakes, and Ye Jian asked by the luxuriously decorated candied haws stall, "How much is the candied haws?"

The stall owner showed a warm smile: "It only costs [-] coins!"

Ye Jian: So expensive!

Could it be more delicious?

He said: "Then, give me three."

He returned to the car with candied haws worth [-] coins, and Chen Rao exclaimed, "This price is enough for me to have a good meal in a small city."

Ye Jian handed the biggest candied haws to Luo Ling who was looking forward to it, and said to Chen Rao and the others, "Do you want it?"

Chen Rao and Ike shook their heads again and again, expressing their disinterest.

The wrapping paper of this candied haws was a bit thicker than the ones he had eaten before, and it took Luo Ling a little time to unwrap it and take a bite.

Click.

Ye Jian: "Is it delicious?"

Luo Ling was silent for a second.

"good……"

Ye Jian: Oops.

Unappetizing.

However, I bought everything.

So he stuffed the bag containing the remaining two candied haws into Luo Ling's blanket.

Luo Ling clutched the blanket with a little disgust.

The candied haws here are not good.

He doesn't like the city.

He looked up at Ye Jian.

Ye Jian: Poor little fish who ate unpalatable candied haws.

So she smiled at him comfortingly.

Luo Ling: ...The candied haws became a little tastier.

As an S-level city, Dusk Court's area is far beyond that of any B-city.Just driving from the city gate to the center of the city will take several hours.

In front of the reception hall, Chen Rao's expression, who had been relaxed all the way before, became a little complicated. He took a deep breath and stepped in here.

Soon someone greeted them, and Chen Rao quietly showed his invitation letter to the other party. The other party nodded and took them to the elevator to the basement floor of the reception hall.

Ding.

The elevator door opened, and there were already people in work clothes waiting on both sides of the corridor.

"Hello, everyone, please show your invitation letter and ID again."

With a smile that could not find any problems on their faces, the staff took everyone's communication bracelets.

After noticing the young man in Ye Jian's arms, he said in doubt, "Excuse me, this is your—"

Luo Ling opened her mouth to say something, but Ye Jian quickly said, "I'm so delicate that I don't want to walk by myself...good friend."

Luo Ling: "???"

Worker: "Oh, that's right."

They checked everyone's ID and sent it back with a smile.

"Please go straight along the corridor and wait in the reception hall."

The hallways are long and staff are quickly left behind.Ye Jian remained calm and raised her hand slightly.

Luo Ling looked at him with a little resentment, and said after a few seconds: "Monitor."

He took off the hair-thin thing from Ye Jian's communication bracelet, and destroyed it casually.

Then he said to Ye Jian: "Brother, do you want me—"

Before she finished speaking, Ye Jian shook her head slightly: "Let's see the situation first."

"Besides, we are here to investigate, not to fight."

Luo Ling obediently said "Oh".

He listened to Ye Jian.

There is a door at the end of the corridor. When the door is pushed open, there is a hall with a deep and wide dome.

Many people have already gathered here, much more than Chen Rao's team imagined.

"Look, another team of explorers is here."

"With so many people, I feel that the possibility of passing the assessment is very low..."

The sounds of small discussions passed by her ears, Ye Jian's expression did not change, but she was a little pensive in her heart.

Gathering so many watchmen in the forbidden area...is it just for the so-called assessment?

Among these watchmen, I don't know how many people have absorbed Ninghejing.

—— During Ye Jian's brief contemplation, several eyes gathered around him.

Although Luo Ling's illusion can distort the vision of others, so that his identity as a mermaid is not revealed.But a pale and beautiful young man is holding an indifferent and good-looking teenager——such a combination, it is really hard not to attract extra attention.

Ye Jian stroked Luo Ling, and found that the little mermaid seemed a bit conspicuous in the crowd, so she immediately pulled the blanket to wrap him up tighter.

Do not show these people.

Luo Ling's eyes were cold. He didn't like the gaze of some people on Ye Jian. Those dirty eyeballs were full of covetousness that disgusted him.

I really want to dig them out one by one.

However, Ye Jian didn't like his fierce look.

In Ye Jian's eyes, he has always been an obedient fish.

So this obedient fish suppressed the hostility in its eyes, and obediently grabbed Ye Jian's clothes: "Brother, let's go to the corner."

Ye Jian: "Okay."

He greeted Chen Rao, silently avoided the crowd, and hid in a corner.

Chen Rao's team of explorers seemed to be the latest batch. After that, two or three teams of explorers came one after another. The entrance to the hall was closed and no one entered.

Swish.

The four sides of the white and immaculate hall were lit up with projection screens, and a platform was lowered from the dome. A young man in a white suit stood on the platform, and his smiling face appeared on the surrounding projection screens: "Hi everyone, I am Mr. Arthur's." Secretary, I welcome you here."

After waiting for a long time, he was the only one to appear. The crowd of watchmen became restless for a while, and someone said, "Where's Mr. Arthur? I thought he would come!"

The secretary's smile was the same as that of the previous staff, and he couldn't pick any mistakes: "I'm sorry, Mr. Arthur is ill and can't be there for some reason. However, when the assessment is over, he will personally issue certificates to the outstanding teams .”

After that, voices of doubt and dissatisfaction continued to emerge, but they were all appeased by the secretary one by one.Soon someone asked: "What is the assessment? You haven't said the rules yet!"

Ye Jian looked around, but couldn't find the person who made the sound, but the secretary immediately got to the point: "The assessment will last for one month, and you will be put into a virtual space, and your team will be divided into groups for a fierce competition."

"Since it is a watchman, it is necessary to fight with alien beasts. Therefore, in that space, alien beasts of different levels will be released according to the area-of course, alien beasts are also virtual, and you can get virtual crystals by killing alien beasts If you are killed by a strange beast, you will be eliminated immediately and return to this waiting hall."

"In the end, the three teams with the most crystals and the highest levels will pass the assessment and officially become the watchman team organized by the Twilight Court. Not only will they have the qualifications to live here for a long time, but they will also be able to cooperate with the forbidden area and enjoy many benefits. "

Speaking of this, the secretary added: "If you don't want to participate in the assessment, you can withdraw now. Once the assessment starts, unless you are eliminated or the time is up, you will not be able to leave this space voluntarily."

After a long list of rules, there was a lot of discussion around, but none of the Overwatch team chose to leave.

According to the secretary, that virtual space poses no risk to them.Once you pass the assessment, you will be rewarded very generously.

The only problem is that the assessment lasts for a long time, and one cannot withdraw voluntarily.

Ye Jian looked at Luo Ling.

Luo Ling said: "Brother, go, no one can trap me here yet."

Ye Jian: "Okay."

He was not interested in the final reward, but just wanted to investigate the so-called assessment.

With Luo Ling around, they could leave that space at any time.Once a problem is found, it can be dealt with immediately.

Half an hour later, after confirming that everyone had no intention of leaving, the assessment officially began.

The secretary pressed a switch, smiled and said, "Good luck to everyone, see you in a month."

The projection screen is off and the light source is disconnected.The surroundings are like being shrouded in darkness, and you can't see your fingers.

However, the darkness lasted only a few seconds, and when the light came on again, everyone was surprised to find that they had come to a strange space.

Thousands of watchmen were separated into different areas. Ye Jian's area was a desert-like wasteland, and within tens of meters around, there were only a few watchmen here and there.

Those watchmen didn't know each other, and quickly scattered away, looking for their own team members.

Ye Jian looked around. Although she didn't know what method was used to use the forbidden land, the land under her feet was indeed very real, almost overlapping with the real world.

It's like... the illusion he experienced before.

Just as Ye Jian was about to say something to Luo Ling, her eyes flicked to one side, her mind shaking slightly.

——His gaze touched the distance, at the end of the space, a huge ancient tree covered with crystals opened the sky, and countless crystals cast brilliance, disappearing in an instant like the phantom of a mirage.

Ye Jian swayed slightly and pressed her forehead.

Luo Ling: "Brother?"

Ye Jian: "...It's okay."

Luo Ling frowned immediately.

Ye Jian lowered her head and wanted to say something, but her arms lightened suddenly.

The silver-haired man in black appeared silently, his ruby-like eyes locked onto Ye Jian's figure.

Ye Jian was slightly taken aback: "Is it okay for you to be like this?"

Luo Ling: "It's okay, brother don't worry about me."

Then he wrapped his arms around Ye Jian's waist carefully, as if he was some beautiful and fragile porcelain.

Ye Jian: Well, in fact, he is really fine now.

He opened his mouth slightly, and in the next second, another voice came in:

"Mr. Ye!"

A voice of surprise sounded from one side, and a familiar figure struggled to climb up the sandy slope, waving at them.

It's Chen Rao.

"Great! I thought I was separated from everyone, but you... eh?"

Halfway through Chen Rao's run, she found that the little mermaid in Ye Jian's arms had disappeared, replaced by a cold and frightening silver-haired man. She was immediately shocked: "Who is he?"

What about the little mermaid?Be eaten?

Ye Jian was silent for a second, thinking of some reason to fool Chen Rao.

So he said slowly: "He is my other younger brother..."

Before the words finished, Luo Ling who was beside him spoke quickly and casually, and said, "I'm his that one."

Ye Jian: "?"

Chen Rao: "Ah... oh... Mr. Ye's that..."

She nodded seriously: "I understand."

Ye Jian: "???"
