A small pond suddenly turned into a deep ocean.
Yan Jin's barrier separated the sea water, and the two looked around. There was everything around, large and small fish schools, and dazzling coral groups. Shen Zhixian was in a trance and thought he had gone to the aquarium.
There is a small road on the bottom of the sea, winding and winding for nowhere. The two walked forward cautiously. After walking for half an hour, the small road disappeared in a piece of fine sand.
This is - ashore
Stepping on the soft and fine sand, Shen Zhixian couldn't help but turn around and look at the sea, the light blue sea was quiet and shimmering in the sun, no one could see that there was such a road hidden on the bottom of the sea.
"I found it!" A childish shout came, Shen Zhixian immediately returned to his senses, and when he saw the next moment of the person coming, he ducked behind Yan Jin without hesitation—this scene seemed familiar.
A seven- or eight-year-old boy ran over with his feet spread, and just before he was about to pull Yan Jin's clothes on, Yan Jin's frozen eyes fixed him in place.
"Look, found..." The boy's voice became more and more low. He tilted his head and looked at Yan Jin carefully. The more he looked, the more confused he became. There was a daze in his eyes, "Ah, it's not Xiao Jiu."
Shen Zhixian stuck his head out from behind Yan Jin and looked at the little guy for a while. The little boy asked hesitantly, "You... have you seen Xiao Jiu?"
Shen Zhixian also asked hesitantly, "Where is this?"
Three people, you look at me, I look at you, and no one can answer anyone.
After a while, the little boy asked timidly, "Then, then you... have you seen Little Eight, Seven, and Five..."
He counted a string, from nine to one, Shen Zhixian's head grew big when he heard it - Whose child's nest is this
The little boy was still looking over eagerly, and he also felt Yan Jin's indifference and unapproachability, so he subconsciously ignored him and went to ask Shen Zhixian.
However, Shen Zhixian retracted behind Yan Jin again. The little boy peeked at Yan Jin, took two more steps carefully, and walked around in front of Shen Zhixian, staring at him.
Shen Zhixian was helpless. He had a headache when he saw the children, and unconsciously tugged at Yan Jin's sleeve and asked, "Are all these people you asked about children?"
Seeing his answer, the little boy nodded happily and said, "Mmmm! My name is Xiao Shi, and I want to find Xiao Jiu, Xiao Ba, Xiao Qi... all!"
Shen Zhixian thought about it for a while, and tried to be kind and said, "But we just came here, and we still don't know where this place is. Can you tell us where it is? Tell us, and we'll find a friend for you."
He admitted that he had spoken very gently and kindly, but Xiao Shi stared at him for a long time, opened his mouth, but mechanically repeated: "Have you seen Xiao Jiu, Xiao Ba, Xiao Qi... have you seen them?" he read "We're playing hide-and-seek, but I can't find them."
Xiao Shi's expression gradually became confused, as if he had encountered a big problem. He frowned and muttered for a while, and then he spread his feet and ran away as if he had come here. two people.
Shen Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief and saw some houses not far away, he said, "Go over there and see if there are any adults."
"Yeah." The sand was dense, Shen Zhixian took a step and three swayed, Yan Jin held his hand and helped him move forward steadily, if he asked casually, "Does Sui Jian hate children?"
"It's not that I hate it, the children are still very cute. It's just that I'm afraid that they will cry at me." Shen Zhixian sighed, "When I cry, my brain hurts, and I can't even coax me."
"Sui Jian has taken care of children before?"
"No." Shen Zhixian answered decisively, "It's too late for me to hide from them, how can I take the initiative to take care of them."
Yan Jin stopped talking, and Shen Zhixian didn't care. When he was about to reach the front of the house, Yan Jin suddenly stopped and asked again, "Then... a child who doesn't cry and doesn't make trouble, will you like it at New Year's Eve?"
Shen Zhixian thought that he had already exposed this topic, but he asked such a question without being careful, and was stunned before saying: "Don't cry, don't make trouble... It's okay. Who doesn't like a good kid."
Who doesn't like it.
Yan Jin lowered his eyes, a trace of astringency flashed in his eyes, and he didn't ask any more questions.
There are still many houses by the sea, and there are more than a dozen families in a row. The two knocked on the door one by one, but there was no response.
Yan Jin listened carefully for a moment, and finally opened the door decisively - the room was empty, not a single person was seen.
After pushing the doors of four or five houses in a row, they were all empty. The furniture and other items were all available, and the tops were full of dust, obviously not used for a long time.
This place... Shen Zhixian felt an ominous feeling in his heart, if this place can talk, could it be the only child left
Oh, maybe there are those little nines and eights... a group of children.
Where have all the adults gone
Unwillingly, he pushed open the door of another family. This time, as soon as the door was opened, there was a movement in the house. Shen Zhixian was overjoyed, and Yan Jin went over to look at it, and a young face immediately turned his hope. smash.
"Xiao Shi?" Shen Zhixian looked at the face he had only seen not long ago, and shouted subconsciously. After shouting, he felt that something was wrong. The direction that Xiao Shi ran away from was not this way at all. If he turned back and hid in the house It's impossible for Yan Jin not to find out, and this child...
When the child hiding under the table saw them, he timidly got out and asked in a low voice, "You see little ten, eight, and seven..."
Shen Zhixian held his forehead, so this child with the same face as Xiao Eleven is Xiao Jiu
The essence of human beings is a copy machine, is the essence of the world a copy machine!
He was about to say something, but Yan Jin held his hand tightly, then whispered in his ear: "He is not a living person, just a soul."
Shen Zhixian suddenly turned to look at him.
Yan Jin motioned for him to look at the little boy.
The little boy shrunk under the table, and after a long time he could not get a response. His eyes became empty, and his eyes gradually turned red. The teardrops of the size of beans rolled down like broken beads, and he whispered: "I can't find it, I can't find it... I'm so useless, I can't even play hide and seek... "
As the tears fell more and more fiercely, his body gradually blurred, and the whole person became weak and empty. Even Shen Zhixian, who had no spiritual power, could see that something was wrong.
Shen Zhixian pointed to the little boy with difficulty, and then pointed to the door: "That one just now... is that too?"
Yan Jin corrected: "That is probably the soul."
Shen Zhixian: "..."
Ten children, small ten, nine, and eight... Count to one.
This really can't help but make Shen Zhixian think about it, people have three souls and seven souls, these ten children are actually just one child who has been torn apart with three souls and seven souls!
Who is so cruel to tear apart a child's soul like this? !
Is it the one who created this mystery
Many thoughts flashed in Shen Zhixian's mind. That Xiao Jiu's cry gradually weakened. He stared at the two of them for a while in a daze and then suddenly slipped out from the bottom of the table and rushed over when Shen Zhixian was not paying attention.
Shen Zhixian quickly hid behind Yan Jin, only to be grabbed by one sleeve.
Xiaojiu tugged at his sleeve tightly and insisted: "Play hide-and-seek with us! Come with us to make Yuyu laugh!"
Before Shen Zhixian had a headache, he was attracted by a new name: "Yuyu? Who is this?"
Xiao Jiu's eyes were blank, and he was ignorant of his words, and repeated: "Hide and seek with us, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek..."
The repetition of chanting scriptures and the crying voice with hiccups made Shen Zhixian's head grow bigger, and he looked at Yan Jin hesitantly.
The meaning of Shen Zhixian asking for help was too obvious, Yan Jin thought for a while, and scolded coldly: "Silence."
I don't know if it was because of his icy aura or some other reason, that Xiao Jiu was startled by him and let out a burp, and when he released his hand, he really didn't dare to cry.
I don't dare to cry anymore, but the words are still repeating: "Hide and seek hide and seek hide and seek hide and seek..."
Yan Jin asked him a few more questions with a cold face. Xiao Jiu ignored him and just talked to himself, as if immersed in his own world.
Shen Zhixian had no choice but to ask in a low voice, "How do you play hide-and-seek?"
Maybe he was born to be in harmony with children. No matter how much Yan Jin asked, he couldn't get a response. As soon as he asked, Xiao Jiu immediately stopped repeating and moved his eyes: "Do you want to play? You and me together. Hide and let him find…”
Shen Zhixian whispered: "Maybe this is the arrangement of the secret realm? Can you find the exit by playing such a game of hide and seek?"
Yan Jin frowned: "Dangerous."
"There are no living people around here. The only people who can communicate with each other are these children... a few souls that have been split up. Maybe if we gather these souls, we can know the whole situation."
Unknown land, unknown environment, of course Shen Zhixian didn't want to be separated from Yan Jin, but he had no choice. In this situation, perhaps following this child's words was the only way out.
He was persuading in a low voice, and Xiao Jiu was also repeating his words. Yan Jin pursed her lips, her brows furrowed even tighter, and reluctantly let go, "Try then."
When Xiao Jiu, who finally got her wish, pulled Shen Zhixian and was about to run away and hide, Yan Jin suddenly reached out and grabbed Shen Zhixian's wrist.
Shen Zhixian was pulled for a while.
Yan Jin's eyes were deep and serious, his expression was very serious, he bit every word very clearly, and said solemnly: "I will find you."
"Most definitely."
Until Shen Zhixian was dragged by Xiao Jiu to turn around and hide in a forest, Yan Jin's words were still repeated in his mind.
Find... Find it and find it!
Why do you have to say it like this... It's hard for Shen Zhixian to describe the feeling, and if he has to say it, it's like... It's as if he is some kind of person who sneaks away and wants to be found!
Shen Zhixian hid behind a tree and looked at Xiao Jiuqian and said, "You hide here, I'll hide over there..."
"Mmmm." He nodded perfunctorily, watching Xiao Jiu turn his head away three steps before he calmed down, and carefully sensed that the parting was just a piece of spiritual power that Yan Jin had hurriedly left in his body.
He didn't understand Yan Jin's meaning, he only said that he left the spiritual power to ensure his safety. At this time, he sensed the spiritual power and guided it to slowly walk in the body, while thinking about what to do now.
I don't know what that ray of spiritual power touched, but suddenly a little scorching heat rolled from the depths of the spiritual energy sea, and Shen Zhixian was scalded back to his senses.
Hey
what
With hindsight, he felt the vague burning sensation - was that the contract he formed with Yan Jin before
The burning sensation was looming, but Shen Zhixian was concentrating on it, but he couldn't feel it anymore. He thought about it, and deliberately guided that ray of spiritual power to poke the contract.
This time it really worked, the contract started to get hot, Shen Zhixian felt something vaguely felt, closed his eyes and carefully sensed it, turned in a certain direction, and suddenly opened his eyes.
- Yan Jin.
The contract told him vaguely that Yan Jin was in this direction.
So did Yan Jin see through his identity like this before? How could this contract still work
Shen Zhixian hesitated for a while, then looked in the direction he sensed, a little unsure whether he should take the initiative to look for it.
Just now that Xiaojiu took him around the forest for a while, there was mist in the forest, and it was blurry not far away. He was led around a few times, and he could not remember the direction. yes...
He thought for a moment and decided to give it a try. This ghost place, meet up earlier and feel at ease.
Having made up his mind, Shen Zhixian stepped forward.
The trees in this forest are lush, not tall, with pale pink flowers blooming on the trees, which look a bit like peach blossoms, with a faint fragrance, hidden in the mist, and drifting around silently.
Shen Zhixian was walking and instinctively felt that the fragrance was wrong, but at this time he had already penetrated deep into the forest, with nowhere to see and nowhere to retreat, so he could only deliberately slow down his breathing and reduce the amount of inhalation.
There was a dark shadow in the fog ahead, Shen Zhixian stopped, stared for a while, slowly stretched out his hand, broke off a flower branch from a short tree next to him, held it like a sword, pointed obliquely to the ground, his wrist was shaking lightly, pale pink flowers The child shuddered slightly, with a murderous aura.
The shadows showed their appearance from the fog. They were a few weak little ghosts, with gray-black and translucent bodies, hesitantly probing in front of Shen Zhixian.
Small ghosts, as the name suggests, are actually the most common and lowest creatures in the mountains and forests. They are born in the miasma, and they like to haunt innocent passers-by and let them fall into endless illusions.
Those little ghosts hesitated for a while, and finally they couldn't help but float over to entangle Shen Zhixian.
Shen Zhixian's brows turned cold, but his subordinates showed no mercy. He transferred that ray of spiritual power to the flower branch, and fluttered a few sword moves—he just lost his spiritual power, not the whole person was useless, sword moves can still be drawn. .
The wisp of spiritual power that Yan Jin left behind could not do great things, and it was more than enough to kill a few little ghosts.
The breeze blew the flowers, and the flowers on the branches were shattered into many petals, which fell one after another, and only one remained standing on top of it, trembling in the power of the sword.
Shen Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief, the flower branches slanted, and looked at the few ghosts with cold eyes, before they had time to struggle, they shattered into smog and scattered.
It seemed that the voice of a child came from not far away, Shen Zhixian walked away slowly, the mist receded like a tide, gradually revealing the prospect.
It's a fine sandy beach.
At first glance, it was very similar to the one when they first came ashore from the bottom of the sea, but upon closer inspection, Shen Zhixian found a difference—the edges were blurred and lifeless, this was an illusion.
There seemed to be the sound of children laughing and laughing around, and Shen Zhixian vaguely saw many children chasing and laughing at the edge of those vague illusions, but the excitement had nothing to do with him, and it had nothing to do with the lonely children on the beach.
The waves washed up on the shore repeatedly, rolling up many small shells and small crabs, and also rolled up a slender and beautiful little blue fish.
The child was originally squatting on the beach, staring blankly at the person in the distance. And after the little blue fish was swept ashore, it hopped forward lazily, just to the point where the waves couldn't roll it back into the sea, and hopped right next to the child, standing still.
Its color is really beautiful, like the charming blue at the junction of the sky and the sea level. Under the sun, people can't open their eyes when they look at it.
The child was attracted by it, looked at it quietly for a while, and carefully poked its slightly white fish belly with his hands.
The little blue fish puffed out his belly and continued to remain motionless.
The child showed a silly smile. Seeing that the waves couldn't come up, he carefully picked up the fish, took a few steps forward, and put it back into the sea.
But after a while, the waves rolled up the fish again. The fish usually jumped a few times and then stopped moving.
Fish will dry up without water.
The child puffed out his cheeks. Although he is a fool, he still understands the truth. This little blue fish is so beautiful, what should he do if he dies!
He put the little blue fish back into the sea again.
However, I don't know what happened, but after a while, the little blue fish, once again, was swept up.
The child was at a loss. He looked at the beautiful little blue fish and was a little overwhelmed - how about this playback a little farther
He picked up the little blue fish again, and this time he decided to go further into the water so that the waves couldn't roll the little blue fish up.
But this time, the little blue fish was not as he wished.
The white light flickered in the child's hand, and the child's eyes flickered, and he subconsciously wanted to cover his eyes. As soon as he released his hands, the little blue fish fell. When Kankan was about to land, the white light suddenly stretched and changed. A figure emerges.
The long hair fell like a waterfall, and the person whose face was so beautiful that it was difficult to distinguish between male and female bent down slightly, poked the child's forehead with slender and fair fingers, and said in a cold and leisurely voice: "I want to sleep in the sun, please don't put me back. already."
The bottom of his eyes was deep ice blue, and he suffocated the child for a moment, and then the next moment, the figure suddenly changed back to a little blue fish, fluttering on the fine sand, choosing a comfortable position, warmly basking in the sun In the sun, motionless.
The child stood there dumbfounded. He was a well-known fool in this sea area, and he couldn't figure out what had just happened.
He lowered his head and saw the little blue fish again, its beautiful fish with a little fine sand on it.
Fish without water - are to die.
The child kept this principle firmly in mind, he squatted down, carefully and carefully picked up the little blue fish, and put it into the water again and again.
Wow, a wave rolled up and woke the little blue fish.
It stuck its tail in the fine sand, preventing itself from being swept down by the waves, and moved slightly, as if confused.
Outside the illusion, even Shen Zhixian felt its suffocation and couldn't help but laugh.
Look! The power of bear children!
