,
"Sister, here." Tian Qi stood up and greeted Tian Si from the corner of the bar.
Tian Si also saw her cousin. She carefully bypassed the bustling crowd and walked over there.
"I haven't seen you in almost a month. Are you also in retreat?" Tian Qi opened the chair where his coat was placed and invited his cousin to sit down. He kept complaining, but in fact the purpose of "criticism" was quite subtle.
Tian Si smiled, but before she spoke, Tian Qi noticed the relaxed joy on her face and patted the table: "It seems that there is no problem with Grandma Pan."
"Well, I've received the official notification. Although it's still more than half a year before the school officially starts, starting next month, we have to follow the project."
"Congratulations, Grandma Pan's postgraduate quota can make people break their heads every year."
"It can only be said to be a fluke." Tian Si didn't want to say more on this topic. She called the waiter dressed as a witch, "A cup of mocha, thank you."
The waiter recognized Tian Si, and she apologized softly: "Sister Tian, the coffee is sold out..."
"Then a cup of hot cocoa."
The waiter took the order and left. Next to him, Tian Qi quickly claimed the credit: "It's not easy for me to save a seat for you."
Tian Si glanced at the bar corner, which is located in the public activity area on the second underground floor of Beiyan Gear. It is close to the sandbank waterway and faces the scenery of the lake bottom. It was originally a good place to cultivate body and mind, but now the influx of people makes it more like A popular attraction.
"Your club's theme week went well."
"You know, it doesn't just rely on theme weeks... This place is almost crowded now. I really miss the days when there were only Ronan and the others, although I haven't been here a few times." Tian Qi sighed, and consciously suppressed it. He said in a loud voice, "Sister, are you here to find Ronan? That guy is not easy to see now."
"I've made an appointment." Such a conversation seemed like something that shouldn't happen between school classmates, but the Tian siblings thought it was normal.
"That's good..." Before he finished speaking, Tian Qi suddenly let out an ouch, "Back there, look into the lake."
Tian Si subconsciously turned his head and saw on the side of the public activity area, in the chaotic lake separated by reinforced glass, a huge and flat body tilted at a certain angle and passed silently, attracting the attention of everyone in the bar.
There is no light source at the bottom of the lake, only the lighting from the public activity area is projected into the lake. It was under the illumination of this light that the giant bat-like monster fish showed off to the "tourists" here its wingspan of more than twenty meters and its pale underbelly lined with ferocious mouthparts.
Especially when the demon fish turns around, the "thin tail" of its scales, which is more than ten meters long, hits the strengthened glass. The heavy impact makes the entire glass screen wall seem to tremble. It also has its own electric fire, and every time it jumps The flashes seemed to burn into the hearts of all the spectators.
Many men and women screamed with fear and excitement.
Tian Si stared at this scene blankly. Even though she had been mentally prepared in advance, seeing this monster fish, the terrifying situation two months ago seemed to reappear, making her shiver unconsciously and her cheeks almost lost the color.
In comparison, Tian Qi had seen a lot more, and he didn’t know what his cousin had experienced in Haitian Yundu. He breathed out a sigh of satisfaction: “It’s different from what he saw in Haitian Yundu, right? , it seems like it could break through the glass and come in at any time! In fact, I think no theme week can compare with this thing spinning around... Uh, sister, are you okay?"
Tian Siru woke up from a dream, but couldn't turn around to let his cousin see his current expression, so he had to say something random: "Is this manta fish the one from Haitian Yundu?"
"Yeah, that's it."
"He's grown a lot."
"Who says it isn't? I heard that the wingspan has increased by nearly one-third compared to when it was first captured, and the growth is almost concentrated in the past two months. It must have been eaten and drank well in the sea, sky and water, and it was fattened. ”
The manta ray showed off its power behind the tempered glass, and then turned into the depths of the lake beyond the reach of people's eyes. There was a lot of admiration all over the place.
But no one here knew that one of them had had very close contact with this deformed creature - the one who was almost eaten.
Tian Si then turned around and subconsciously picked up the hot drink on the table. Only then did he realize that his hands had become cold and his legs were even trembling. But at the same time, her heart felt hot, and then a blush spread over her face.
This was also a mixture of fear and excitement - her mood was no more special than the others present, it was just more profound due to memories, or perhaps sublimated due to expectations.
Last time in Haitianyundu, this fierce monster wrapped its electric tail around her legs and could tear her into pieces in the next second; but it was also after that incident that she really got a glimpse of today's world. The scene behind the dark curtain touches the magical corner of the "other world".
She sipped the hot cocoa to calm herself down, and then asked: "This deformed head should be very dangerous, why did it move here?"
"It is said that the family that kept the manta ray in Haitian Yundu couldn't afford the rental fee and breeding fee, so they sold it at a price. The buyer was someone in our society, but I didn't know who was enough. You willfully moved this monster over and used it as an ornamental fish."
"you do not know……"
"What?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little bit curious about who made such a big deal and put a mutant in the jungle on the north coast. Professor Wu and the others hate this the most."
"You mean Professor Pan's husband? Haha, he is probably going crazy. It is said that he also took advantage of the opportunity of that person's long trip to kill him first and then show off. It's hard to say whether he can stay here long in the end."
Tian Qi was very open-minded: "I think it's probably temporary. It just happened to be a gimmick for the theme week. Speaking of which, Vice President Ou's Eleusis Mysteries recurrence program has collapsed. I heard that it was still Ronan. Stop it, there are manta rays here now, no one who has eaten the courage of a bear and a leopard will have the courage to go to the lake to make trouble again. From this point of view... you know."
"Yes, we all understand." Long slender fingers gently placed on Tian Qi's shoulders, like jade tubes, but with the pressure of steel pipes.
Tian Qi was startled and wanted to get up reflexively, but he was too pressed to move. On the opposite side, Tian Si got up and greeted the mature and sexy woman behind him: "Hello, Ms. Cat Eyes."
"You're welcome, I'm just an errand boy, responsible for conveying the reception." Maoyan naturally pulled Tian Qi out of his seat, using such a willful and manipulative method to indicate to the young man what he should do.
Tian Qi had more or less "knowledge" of this person, so he didn't say much. He winked at Tian Si, shrank behind the crowd, and soon disappeared.
Maoyan is a famous nightclub queen in Xia City. She likes to join in the fun, but she hates the bustling environment here because it brings unnecessary workload to her. So she kept the story short: "Luo Nan was talking to Gao Meng and Paper Cut, oh, you know the latter ones. They were discussing some technical issues and forgot the time. If you are willing to wait, I can take you to the sixth floor underground for a while. rest."
"Ah, actually I just want to help an elder send an invitation."
"elder?"
"It's my mentor, Professor Pan Wenpan, she..."
"I know, is Ronan's mother's mentor? You will be his senior aunt from now on."
"That's not the case." Facing Maoyan, Tian Si was still a little cautious, not comfortable chatting and joking with her.
"Okay, I understand, come with me."
"Won't you disturb him?" Tian Si was still a little worried.
"You agreed to wait, why bother?" Maoyan stood up with a smile, led Tian Si around the flow of people, walked slowly down the fire escape, and explained smoothly: "There are too many people waiting now. For the sake of cleanliness, the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors It has been closed to the outside world, and it is not convenient to get in and out. It is not easy to order a separate elevator or something, so we will take the stairs down. There will be permission review when we get to the fifth underground floor, which will inevitably be more troublesome, so you should be prepared. "
Tian Si responded and took a breath subconsciously. She didn't feel troubled, but rather looked forward to it.
The two ladies walked down level by level in this way. Once they passed the two floors, the noise in the public activity area was almost blocked, and only the rhythmic footsteps in the stairwell could be heard one after another.
Tian Si adjusted his breathing slightly and thought about what to say when he met Ronan. In fact, she had done these dialogue deductions many times in advance, but at this moment, she still couldn't help but feel nervous and even anxious.
With such a mentality, Tian Si also sighed to himself: If you want something, you must be afraid. Maybe this can also be regarded as a kind of "dazzling the mind"?
At this moment, Maoyan's voice came in: "Want to join our circle?"
Tian Si's inner thoughts were revealed in one sentence, and he shuddered subconsciously and looked up.
Maoyan raised his eyebrows: "Why are you nervous? It's not like falling into a trap. If you want to do it, just say it. Do you want to become a capable person?"
The corner of Tian Si's mouth also moved, and he laughed at himself: "Maybe everyone can see what I'm thinking?"
"Who was the last person you saw? Ronan?"
"It's Mr. Papercut."
"Oh." Maoyan suddenly realized that even though she was not involved in some things, she still had relevant information. "You have dealt with him twice. That's right. Things like Haitian Yundu will definitely have an impact on you. , if you can bear it for so long before speaking out, you must have given it serious thought?"
Actually I didn't say...
Tian Si didn't dare to say this, so he could only nod.
"Zhijiu is a relatively stable person. He didn't encourage you blindly at that time."
Tian Si shook his head immediately. Not to mention that time in Haitian Yundu, she was so frightened that her memory was a little confused. The deep ones were very profound, and the blurry ones were very blurry. However, during the friendship in Aurora Yundu, the whole process was clear in her memory.
I remember that she once plucked up the courage to ask about paper-cutting, but the person must have deliberately avoided the topic.
Maoyan said "ha": "It's quite responsible, and I have a clear mind. I know that this is a field that values talent the most."
"talent?"
"That's right. Talent means that some people may never really touch the ground in this field in their lifetime - it's not that they don't work hard, it's just that they don't have the talent, and correspondingly, they don't have the life!"
