Soul Echo

Time quietly came to night, and the houses on both sides of the street were not lit with candles. In such a big city, there were only a few places with lights left.

Thick clouds covered the moonlight, and the mournful evening wind swept across the street. In the silence, Zhong Ye walked into the gate leading to the noise.

Even at night, the adventurer's house is still noisy, the receptionist on the night shift is yawning and bored watching the group of adventurers drinking and arm wrestling, I don't know where they get so much energy .

The number of adventurers is a lot less, some people have a mission tomorrow, so they have to rest early, some people get drunk and go to bed early, and not everyone can play that much At night, most of the adventurers in the hall have just woken up not long ago.

Walking into the reception hall, Zhong Ye saw Lilian sitting in the corner obediently at a glance, she seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Finding Zhong Ye, the girl had a happy face, suddenly stood up, "teacher!"

Zhong Ye laughed at her, beckoned her to come over, then walked to the front desk and asked the receptionist The staff helped her check in.

Several receptionists showed surprised looks and looked at the girl standing behind Zhong Ye in disbelief.

"Lillian, you..."

In the past month, Lillian often came to the adventurer's house to do odd jobs, and the receptionists basically knew her.

"She is my student." Zhong Ye said succinctly.

"Students..."

The receptionists looked complicated, but they didn't gossip in front of Zhong Ye and Lillian, and they quickly completed the registration.

Zhong Ye threw the key to Lillian, "Although it's at the adventurer's house, be careful, if it's not me or someone you know knocking on the door, don't open the door."

As he spoke, he also glanced at the adventurers, and it was self-evident who they were talking about.

A few adventurers were swept away by Zhong Ye's gaze, and immediately shivered, and hurriedly lowered their heads with a smile, no matter what they thought before, they disappeared now.

Zhong Ye sent Lilian back to the house, stood in front of the door, saw the girl's lips parted slightly, and seemed to have something to say, so she interrupted: "I have something to wait until tomorrow, you You need to have a good rest, go to bed early, and I will come to you for morning exercise tomorrow morning."

Lilian blinked her eyes, and said, "Okay..."

No Knowing why, she always felt that Zhong Ye could be trusted, and she felt very safe by Zhong Ye's side.

She thought that the only person in the world who could give her this feeling was mother, but now there is a game NPC...

Heard the door lock making a "click" lock After the door slammed, Zhong Ye returned to his room.

Lying on the bed, Lillian set up the custody, said goodnight to the audience, reluctantly condensed her thoughts on the exit button and returned to reality.

The strength that runs through the whole body is no longer, only the muscles that are shrinking.

Lilian raised her hand with difficulty and took off her gaming helmet.

Then opened his eyes, stared blankly at the empty ceiling, and suddenly laughed.

"...Good night."

......

Second day, when Lilian was online, she found herself in the training ground. That's where the 'Swordsman' career got.

Before she had time to miss and wonder, the feeling of muscle soreness came from her limbs, which made her expression distorted instantly.

"Breathing rhythm is out of order."

A faint voice came from beside her, Lillian turned her head and saw Zhong Ye sitting on the ground with her eyes closed, her mouth and nose Disperse the mist, so that the audience who just entered the live broadcast room is cool.

Lilian panicked for a moment, hurriedly opened the hosting panel, and found that they had been exercising for three hours.

The time of "Soul Echo" is synchronized with Earth, and the western time is European time. Three hours ago... the sun hadn't risen yet!

I searched for the hosting information and found that using [Breath Adjustment] can speed up the recovery of the body, Lillian hurriedly used it.

After using [Breath Adjustment], the breathing rhythm quickly calmed down. I don't know if it was her illusion, and it always felt like a heat current was flowing in her body.

The panicked mood has also recovered, and the mind has become clear. If you can study in this state, it may greatly improve the learning efficiency.

Not everyone is interested in two people sitting in the same place, motionless live broadcast, and when Lilian is not aware of it, the audience is lost in large numbers.

I don't know how long it took, Lillian felt a pat on the head, opened her eyes in confusion, and saw a pancake appeared in front of her.

It was the food that Zhong Ye brought. The girl turned her head to look and saw that her teacher was eating at a very fast speed.

At this time, Lilian also found that her hunger level had dropped to the yellow line, so she took the pancake and ate it in small bites.

Putting the last piece of meat into his mouth, Zhong Ye picked up the bread again, and while eating, asked, "After you went to inquire yesterday, did you get anything?"

Lily Ann didn't react for a while, but after listening to Zhong Ye's question, things related to it began to emerge one after another in her mind.

"...There are a lot of sneaky people in the Belgrade slums, and thieves like to gather there." The girl lowered her head in frustration, "I only heard about this..."

Although At that time, many viewers offered her advice, but her speech was sloppy, and her appearance was immature, so not many people were willing to answer her questions-but wasn't the things she inquired about almost common sense?

"Enough."

Zhong Ye quickly finished the food on his hand, hooked his hand back, and threw the great sword on the ground over his shoulder.

extend the hand to Lillian, pulling her up.

Going to the management office to return the training equipment, Zhong Ye asked Lilian to lead the way to the slum.

Brick houses, wood houses and thatched houses are simply piled together without planning.

Houses of different heights and shapes, dilapidated alleys, and people wandering on the streets collectively wrote 'poverty'.

Even if Belgrade already has a few factories, the people will not become rich out of thin air. People with physical disabilities, people with diseases, and people who have lost their lives due to various reasons. People with property and jobs, who have wandered into this urban area, have been labelled 'lowly'.

Because of chaos and disorder, most of the people who grew up here grew up with fighting and stealing, and raised many grumpy children.

The factory would rather recruit 'hillies' than recruit people from the slums.

The gap between the rich and the poor in other urban areas and slums gradually widens, but the greater the gap between the rich and the poor, the more people in other urban areas look down on slums, and a vicious circle begins.

Lilian timidly followed behind Zhong Ye, cautiously avoiding the filth on the street.

Her birthplace is Belgrade, but she has only been to the slum once.

She was born in the early 22nd century and has only seen such a miserable scene on the Internet.

The scrawny homeless lay on the side of the street, dying at an unknown time, in stark contrast to the burly thugs passing by, with bloodstains from last night's fight on their way.

Many people on the street looked at the two of them with unbridled eyes, Lillian watched a strong man walking towards them, and then... was strangled by Zhong Ye.

Zhong Ye's eyes swept away, and everyone looked away, ignoring them.

"Tell me, where are your gangs?"

Speaking, Zhong Ye released his palms, the strong man retreated in panic, coughed a few times, and touched his neck with lingering fears. Lillian could see that a red palm print had been left on his neck.

Glancing at Zhong Ye, the strong man took a half step back with a smile on his face, just about to speak to distract the man in front of him, but he heard him say coldly, "If you dare to run, I will I'm killing you here, anyway, I'm just here to find someone, not your gang."

The calf muscles tightened instantly, the strong man shrank his neck and said with a smile: "What did you say? Well, I'll take you there..."

He grew up in a slum since he was a child, and can tell whether a person is shy or has the guts to do so, unfortunately, the man in front of him belongs to the latter...

The strong man led Zhong Ye and Lilian to their gang's stronghold, a shabby warehouse.

Zhong Ye's ears moved and heard the movement in the warehouse. He took off the moonlight and handed it over to Lillian. She asked her to wait at the door, and then pulled the strong man into the warehouse.

Lilian did not listen to the barrage, and contrary to Zhong Ye's instructions, she stood at the door of the warehouse with a heavy sword and listened to what was going on inside.

Not long after Zhong Ye walked in, the screams suddenly sounded, which startled Lillian.

Then the screams of pain continued for quite some time.

It wasn't until the voice of "Come in" came out that the girl dragged her sword and walked in.

Then, she and the audience saw the shocking scene of at least a dozen men lying on the ground and screaming in pain.

Zhong Ye sat on a wooden box, a middle-aged man who looked like a gang leader knelt down in front of him in fear, when he looked up, those stern eyes met the pupils of the girl, Made her subconsciously hold her breath.

——【So handsome! ! ]

——【My God! I don't think I can fall in love with anyone else anymore! ]

——[I announce that from today, Zhong Ye is my husband! ]

… Indeed.

Holding the big sword tightly, Lilian swallowed her saliva.

very handsome!
