celebrity leader

Black Master Academy

Students in two-color school uniforms staggered in the evening, and students in black school uniforms entered the night department.The vast majority are mainly girls, and a few boys are frantically calling out their hearts to gods and goddesses at the door.

Since the end of the Jiulan Lishi incident, the Heizhu Academy has been rebuilt in the fastest time. Fortunately, the main buildings only need to be repaired slightly, and the students' studies are not delayed.

Five years have passed since that year, things have changed, and all the students in the college have changed.

Only the magical school legends and teachers occasionally tell the events of the year.

"Ahhh, this is Jiulan senior! He is really handsome!!"

"There is also senior Lantang, a senior, everyone is so handsome!"

"I'm so jealous of the seniors and sisters back then, and it made people's heart beat faster and beat unceasingly. I have already delusionally thought that he will not marry in this life~"

"..."

"Well, just think about it, don't dream in broad daylight..."

“……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Just like what the girl said, the brother who came out tonight is stunning, and his temperament and appearance are more than superior to their classmates.

"What's so interesting about returning to this Black Master Academy? Is it lack of these crazy shouts or lack of admirers."

Lan Tangying's voice was neither loud nor soft, the vampires present didn't hear his cynicism.

Lan Tangying really didn't know why she came to this place again, was she recalling the past?

"If you miss some people, they are already gone, so what's the use of pretending here."

Lan Tangying has always disliked Jiulan Youji, coveted Jiulanshu's attention to him, and suppressed the sarcasm in her heart.But for some reason, in the past two years, Jiulan Youji has become more and more disliked.

I am afraid that the respect on the face is the most complete, and Jiu Lanshu will restrain him at first.

But Lan Tangying didn't stop this kind of behavior. After a long time, even Jiu Lanshu didn't care about him anymore.

Jiulan Youji didn't know why, even though she was a pure blood, she couldn't restrain blood clans lower than her level.

Hearing Lan Tangying's sarcasm, he would only look melancholy, or stare at Jiu Lanshu with teary eyes, hesitating to speak.

Every time at this time, the look in Jiu Lanshu's eyes flashed with a little bit of complexity.

As the days passed, the temperature in the eyes looking at Jiulan Yuki gradually cooled down, until finally it turned into nothingness.

Which of the vampires around him is not a person with exquisite seven orifices, Jiu Lanshu's attitude is undisguised.

The blood clan's respect for Jiulan Yuji is based on the love and affection of the pivotal monarch of Jiulan for her.

When this vase-like pure blood loses the affection of Lord Jiulan, then this hypocritical pure blood vase is just a puppet placed on a high place.

Yes, hypocrisy!

When the pure-blooded princess showed that she wanted to be famous to every good-looking blood-sucking nobleman, she showed her pale pink cheeks as if she hadn't.

Everyone who saw it cast weird eyes on her, but this pure blood seemed to want to misunderstand something, the color on his face gradually deepened, and when he stomped away shyly, the vampire was like a thunderbolt from the sky, Frightened to the point that his already pale face turned ashen.

If Lord Jiulan knew about Princess Jiulan's performance just now, he would definitely die without a place to bury him.

When the nobleman confessed to the monarch in fear, Jiu Lanshu just asked him not to appear in front of her in the future with a gloomy expression.

After the nobleman was grateful as if he had received a gift, he pissed his ass out and escaped from this area overnight with his wife and children, far away from the jurisdiction of the Jiulan family.

Oh, right.

This nobleman looks like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, but he married his childhood sweetheart early and had children. He also has a lovely daughter. He just looks...a late bloomer?

In fact, this situation has happened more than once or twice.This pure-blood princess loves those who donate her blood to those around her.

And it still expresses this kind of meaning as if it is nothing, so that people can feel her meaning, but there is no actual point of view.

It can only be said that her means are really high.

Which of these vampires is not a woman who has seen all kinds of scheming, just based on their status in human society.Women, or men, who talk about their identity and status.

But Jiulan Youji, relying on her special status as a pure blood in the blood clan, and her hook-like temptation, created a myth among the blood clan.

In pure blood, life is free, but blood must not be touched!

Even Jiulan Lishi did not break this default agreement.Jiulan Youji's behavior has refreshed the three views of the blood race.

No matter how lofty Jiulanshu's status is, Jiulan Youji's behavior of tarnishing pure blood cannot maintain her image and reputation.

Among them, Lan Tangying was full of joy and anger, and hated a person. It was impossible for him to endure a long time together, even the sister and fiancee of Lord Jiulan whom he respected.

"Blue Hall."

The people around him just called his name softly, but did not refute what he said.

There is a good saying, whether the person who knows you best is your family or friend, they may be your enemy.

A group of vampires around Jiu Lanshu and Zhuo Shengling fell in love and killed each other, but they knew each other's character and conduct very well.

Ever since watching Cone Shengxing, this group of vampires thought about it from time to time.That child is no ordinary mischievous and defensive, exactly the same as a vampire's vengeance.

Moreover, they looked very similar to Jiu Lanshu, which made their hearts itch.

The vampire hunter was unknowingly being compared to the pure-blood princess, and the pair couldn't bear to look at each other.

Needless to say strength, under the protection of Jiulanshu, Jiulan Youji is weak like a dodder flower, which cannot withstand any wind and rain.

As for Cone Shengling, he held the blood rose to wipe out Jiu Lanshu's serious troubles in one fell swoop, becoming the default vampire hunter No.1.

Conquering such a character, plundering his heart, thinking of him relying on me wholeheartedly, looking at me with loving eyes, makes my blood boil when I think about it.

For her good looks, if it wasn't for Jiuyouji's characteristic hair color and pupils of the Jiulan family, at first glance, no vampire would think she was from the Jiulan family.In the history of the Jiulan family, it wasn't that person who had an outstanding appearance, raised his hands and raised his feet, and charmed all beings, no matter male or female.

More than delicate, but not enough charm, she is neither high nor low, and instead becomes a girl who looks past and forgets.

Cone Shengling, Cone Sheng's standard silver-haired purple eyes, beautiful purple eyes, when you see them, you can't take your eyes off them.

This feature, combined with a cool temperament, and facial features that are too delicate for a man, are like a carefully crafted doll placed on the window sill, and the first time you see it, you can't help but take it home.

Comparing this pair of childhood sweethearts, Jiulan Youji was completely defeated.

This group of vampires saw the tenderness of Cone Sheng Ling Bu in front of them in another world, and the inadvertent happiness, which is the greed of creatures in the dark.

The real cone produces zero, and every point can poke the blood-sucking inner desire.

And Zhuo Shengling is surrounded by the monarch's heirs, who have fully inherited the monarch's excellence.

All of the above, Cone Sheng lost her in zero minutes.

These were discussed by the group of vampires in their spare time, and this topic was not known to anyone outside the venue.

After the people who followed Jiulanshu knew Jiulan Youji's nature, they avoided her as much as they could.But she didn't know why, she turned a blind eye to their attitude, as usual.

This attitude is only for men.

For women, it may be that the same sex repels each other. From the very beginning, Zaoyuan Rujia and the others were jealous of Jiulan Yuji's special treatment from Jiulanshu.

It stands to reason that the black lord Youji has become Jiulan Yuji, and they will not have bad emotions about Jiulan Yuji.

But their attitudes have changed again and again, from jealousy to contempt for Jiulan Youji, even if she is pure blood.

Women are the most sensitive. Compared with other people, they feel that something is wrong with Kulan Yuki early on.

There is more than respect for her, but no respect.

As time went by, the dissatisfaction with this pureblood was higher than that of Lan Tangying, but he was good at hiding it.

Just yesterday, Jiulan Youji suddenly missed the campus life at the dining table, wishing to visit the Black Master Academy and visit her adoptive father, but it has been a long time since I saw her.

For some unknown reason, Jiu Lanshu, who had been indifferent to Jiu Lan You Ji for a long time, arranged the itinerary of the Black Master Academy for the next day overnight, which led to today's scene.

While this scene was going on, the space quietly changed.

The blood race was taken aback by the sudden familiar aura, isn't this...

"Where is this place? There are so many smells, it's so choking... Achoo!"

With this sound, a child came out from behind a tree on the opposite side.

Everyone is familiar with this tree. Cone Shengling often slacks on it when he is the guardian of the students, and only comes down to take charge of the situation when the situation is out of control.

Now, when a child with brown hair and purple eyes appeared, vampires who had traveled to other worlds knew who he was at the first sight.

But thinking about it, it's impossible. With Cone Shengling's character, he won't let this one step into this place.

People who know Zhui Shengling and Jiu Lanshu, the first time they see this child, one sentence will come to mind, 'Ah, this child really looks like those mortal enemies. '

After a few years of seeing each other, Zhuo Shengxing inherited excellent genes and set off towards everyone's expectations, bringing the advantages of both parties together.

"My God! Such a cute child, he looks so good-looking"

"Suddenly, I feel that age can be relaxed."

This one is so coveted for this child that his saliva can already reach the ground.

The friends around her looked at her with contempt. This person is not interested in handsome men and beautiful women at all, but covets cute children.She couldn't move her legs without seeing a good-looking one, and many of her parents looked at her with defensive eyes.

Even these friends who are around will be classified as the same type of people, don't know how many times they will be involved.

If it weren't for their young age, they would definitely call the police and be taken away by the police uncle.

Uncle police come quickly, there are traffickers here!

Because I am a student and there are no children on campus, this habit has not been exposed.

I didn't expect that they would drag them over to see handsome men and beautiful women on a whim, and there would be such a small episode.

The look in this child's eyes was nervous, he was panting heavily, his eyes were red, and his veins were popping out.

She can only hope that the child's parents are not here. This girl who looks like a pervert is really not a pervert!

The senior Jiulan, who has never been afraid of danger and has maintained a personable demeanor, can't wait to rush to the direction where the child is, and keeps patrolling the surroundings.

"Brother Shu?"

Jiulan Youji grabbed his sleeve and grabbed the air.Behind him, Jiu Lanshu's subordinates followed him in unison, looking at the child with excited eyes. The moment the child appeared, he captured the attention of all the vampires around her.

Jiulan Yuki looked at him with gloomy eyes, and the student who inadvertently saw this look shuddered.

"Xiao Xing."

No one can understand Jiu Lanshu's mood at this time. How to describe the joy like waves when he will never see anyone in front of him in his life?

"It's you."

As soon as Zhui Shengxing looked up, he saw this man, and turned to look at the blood clan following behind, "And you." The blood clan following behind were always these people.

"This is the Black Master Academy."

Zhui Shengxing looked at the black and white school uniforms worn by those people and said affirmatively.You don't need to think too much about where this is, but why is he here? Didn't you go through that alley to the Bar Wuluo?In the blink of an eye, you are in another world.

Jiu Lanshu knelt down and looked at him and Ling's child, his purple eyes were exactly the same as those of Ling Shengling, "Why are you here alone, what about others?"

"I don't know why, I got here in the blink of an eye."

In this completely unfamiliar place, he obviously trusted Jiu Lanshu more than anyone else.Apart from being emotionally messed up, this pureblood is decisive in other areas, worthy of his status as a monarch.

Since he was three years old, Zhuo Shengling took him with him all the time and let him move freely.

In this area ruled by the king, coupled with his strength, he followed the rabbit in the dark, and believed that he could protect himself well.

I didn't expect to prevent all human dangers, such an absolutely unexpected accident would appear on such a young child, and he was treated the same as his uncle.

As a descendant of pure blood, he was still a child after all, but he was not timid in the face of this situation, but looked around curiously.

"Is this the school Papa took?"

Children will have a strong curiosity about their father's previous experience, and it is almost impossible for their father and son to come here again.Even if they could, they wouldn't come.

Zhui Shengxing's arrival this time happened to satisfy his curiosity.

"I need to take you to visit, there are many places that outsiders don't know."

A sentence of outsiders separates him from everyone present, making him and Zhuo Shengling the closest people in this world.

And Zhui Shengxing also believed in this sentence, and being able to give birth to him together, no matter what, he was closer than other people.

When Cone Shengling told him about the previous grievances, he didn't go into detail about his relationship with these people.

"Then I've been bothering you for a few days."

Being in another world, even at such a young age, she is not afraid at all.He knew about Tsunayoshi Sawada's two time travels, and thought that his parents would tease Uncle Tsunaji about this funny thing from time to time.

Now that he is in another world, those elders will definitely find him if they find him missing.

What he worries about is his father.

A person with a cold face and a warm heart, if he finds out that he is missing, will he be worried? He pretends to be strong in his heart.

The little one, this worry was also reflected on the face, the students around couldn't help but feel distressed when they saw it, Jiu Lanshu saw it in their eyes.

Cone Shengling is actually the best person to understand.

Treat him a little bit better, and he will put you in his heart and take care of you silently.

"Are you worried about your dad?"

"Worry, without Papa's side, he will be lonely."

I remember one time when I came home late, I opened the door and saw Papa alone in the courtyard drinking tea and looking at the moon.His eyes looked at the moon calmly, and his mind was empty.

At that moment, he was lonely.

"Don't worry, he will take good care of himself for you." Jiu Lanshu looked calm.

"Uncle, they will watch Papa."

Cone Shengxing can be sure of this point, but he is afraid that he will not be able to pass the test in his heart, papa is particularly easy to fall into his own thoughts, unable to get out, and silently persistent.

Jiu Lanshu squatted down, stretched out his hands tentatively, seeing that Zhuo Shengxing didn't respond, he hugged him in his arms and stood up.

In a few words, Jiulan Youji has come to their side.

Zhui Shengxing's appearance is so recognizable, Jiulan Youji's first thought when he saw him was, does Zhui Shengxing have any sisters? This child is probably the child of his sister and Jiu Lanshu.

This idea was too crazy, Jiulan Youji immediately put it behind her, looking at the age of the child, they were fighting with Jiulan Li Shi at that time, where was the time.

Jiulan Youji believes in her brother, and also believes in her position in Jiulanshu's heart.

Thinking about whether they are the descendants of Jiulan Lishi.

"What about the child's parents, why put him here, and, the child's appearance..."

Jiulan Youji hesitated to speak, this expression made Jiulanshu's heart sink, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "What's wrong with your appearance."

"I don't think it's a bit like..." Jiulan Yuki took the words, and when it came to the child who looked at the child with his head down hesitantly, he finally gritted his teeth and expressed his thoughts.

"A bit like Li Shi..."

After finishing speaking, she lowered her head as if she was afraid of being blamed. With this lowering, Jiulan Youji didn't see the sudden deep eyes of the person in front of her.

This time, he really touched his bottom line.

"Yes and no."

"It's a child of Jiulan's family, but not a child of Jiulan Li Shi."

Jiu Lanshu only left this sentence, and left with his arms in his arms.I didn't take care of her this time, waiting for her to go together.

Jiulan Youji's body is faster than her brain's thinking, and she is currently following behind Jiulanshu.Looking at Jiu Lanshu's back, he slowly recalled the meaning of what he said just now.

Apart from Jiulan Li Shi, only she and Jiulanshu are left in Jiulan's family.It's impossible for me, so the rest of the people are the child's family...

Realizing this, Jiulan Yuji stared at Zhui Shengxing. She was behind Jiulanshu, and Zhui Shengxing was hugged by Jiulanshu with his buttocks in front of him. He could only see the back of his head. The familiar hair color of her head hit her gaze.

Of course, Zhui Shengxing could feel the urgent look in her eyes. The first time he saw her, Zhui Shengxing knew who this person was, just because of their blood relationship.

"Jiulan Youji, I didn't expect you to let me stay by your side."

Zhui Shengxing bluntly pointed out that his dislike was a description from other people's mouth, or a real first impression.

too fake!The expression is too fake!The smile is too fake!What you said was too false!

Jiu Lanshu's face remained unchanged, he responded to the accusation flatly, and at the same time said lightly, "It's just a descendant of the Jiulan family."

The posture of the father and son makes them listen to each other's every move, and the tone of voice can be heard clearly, and the cold behind the plainness, Zhui Shengxing understands the deepest.

It seemed that what I just said was a stranger, and it couldn't stir up any fluctuations in my heart.

"It's so cold."

"This is the world of adults."

Jiu Lanshu's explanation is disdainful, the world with adults is the world of Jiu Lanshu.

In the evening, it was already the time when travel was prohibited in the daytime department, and the sky was half dark, with only a little glimmer of light on the mountain.

"Where are we going?" Zhui Shengxing looked away from the class area and gradually turned towards the building of life.

"Take you to meet someone."

"Heizhu Huiyan? Mowing ten teeth at night?"

There is a relationship with him, and Jiu Lanshu will specially bring him to meet people, and they will also be people he will not refuse to meet. This person has a good relationship with Papa, just these two people.

"kindness."

In the group of people behind the two of them, Lan Tangying's expression was obviously tangled, and he looked at Zhuo Shengxing motionlessly.He looked like he wanted to speak but was stubborn and refused to speak.

There was silence all the way, and when they arrived at the destination, Jiulan Youji went straight in happily, and kept yelling, "Dad, I'm back."

Compared with the silence just now, at this time, I am happy like a bird flying out of a cage, fluttering happily.

"What a naive little princess."

Looking at the back of Jiulan Youji, Zhuo Shengxing said in a non-warm way, how this woman makes the top figures of the blood clan and the hunter circle around her.

Everyone who hadn't stepped into the door heard it, and many straightforward faces expressed their approval.

"Oh, my daughter is back, Dad will be so happy, Dad misses you so much!"

A figure of a woman who fell directly into her hugged her intimately, rubbing her face against her cheek.

Zhui Sheng was lucky to meet his father's adoptive father, with long pale golden hair and a handsome face under a pair of golden rimmed glasses that could not be concealed.

Black master Hui Yan, the legendary hunter, the pure-blooded princess and the adoptive father of the only descendant of the Zhuisheng hunter family, this title is really ironic.

Preconceived dislikes made Zhui Shengxing feel that the black master Hui Yan was playing monsters and felt that this person was bohemian and his behavior was frivolous.

"Look at your image."

Yejia Shiya in the living room was already familiar with the behavior of the black master Hui Yan, and reminded him not to say a word, which seemed to give him up.

There is a scar on the chin, and the right eye is covered with an eye patch. Fortunately, Zhui Sheng knows that the eye was lost to save his father.

Therefore, his senses are neither good nor bad, they can only be plain and passer-by.

"Long time no see, everyone."

It's been a while since I said this, just about a year.After the relationship between Jiulan brothers and sisters faded, Jiulanshu didn't come to Heizhu Academy for a long time, but Jiulan Youji came to visit from time to time.

Yakari Shiya was indifferent to Jiulan Youji because of the reason of Cone Shengling, and he would not open his mouth if he could not talk to her.

The joyful conversation between the two seemed unreal to Yejia Shiya.

"Ah, Jiulan actually came over too. It's great that the son-in-law and daughter came back to visit father-in-law together."

Hui Yan, the black master, thought of the picture of their family being happy, and happily fell into his imagination.

Jiulan Youji blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.Myself and my brother... hey!Shame to death!

Little did he know, the black lord Hui Yan's opening hit everyone's point, and no one had a good face.

"Father, I want a drink of water."

"it is good."

The daughter is shy, and the father is imagining the situation. The word "father" awakens the two of them and returns to reality.

Jiu Lanshu was resting on the sofa with Zhui Shengxing in his arms, and the other blood races were scattered around them. Jia Yuanxiao walked towards the kitchen. When he came back, he held a water glass in his hand, handed it to Jiu Lanshu respectfully, and then stepped back.

In an instant, the hall of Master Hei's house was occupied by a group of blood clans. Those who didn't know thought it was the territory of the blood clans.

Jiu Lanshu supported his back, watched the water carefully, and fed him little by little.

Zhui Shengxing held the glass with both hands, and drank it with all his concentration, until his eyes began to wander, and the speed of drinking water slowed down, biting the water glass behind him and sipping bit by bit.

Seeing this, Jiu Lanshu took down the water glass, took out a handkerchief and wiped the water stains on his little face, carefully as if doing an important event.

Jiu Lanshu took care of Zhui Shengxing skillfully, as if taking care of him for a long time.

The black lord Huiyan came back to his senses and saw this warm picture. Zhui Shengxing's appearance was so recognizable. Compared with Jiulan Youji's half-knowledge about the blood race, this legendary hunter has a better understanding of the blood race. learn.

Seeing Zhui Shengxing's appearance, the black master Hui Yan appeared as Jiu Lanshu and Zhui Shengling.

"This! This child!"

Because he was too shocked, the black master Hui Yan pointed at the father and son for a long time before uttering a few words.

"This kid is exactly what I thought!"

Jiu Lanshu glanced at his shocked expression, and then responded, "Yes."

Touching Zhui Shengxing's head, the hair color is slightly curly, and I feel a little regretful in my heart, if it is silver hair, it will be more like...

In fact, without silver hair, it has already been seen,

"Jiulan-Jun is also here. I want to ask if there is any news about Mr. Zero. I don't know how he is now. After all, I haven't seen him for a long time. With Mr. Zero's ability, we can live in peace."

When Cone Shengling disappeared, it was also when Jiulanshu took Jiulan Youji away, and it was not without doubt whether Jiulanshu secretly got rid of Cone Shengling. In various senses, Cone Shengling is his rival.

Jiulan Youji is ambiguous between the two, and everyone can see it.

'Zero is where you are?You imprisoned Zero-kun, didn't you?And how did this kid get here? '

Of course, the black lord Huiyan couldn't ask these words, so he could only ask some serious questions on the sidelines.

"News from Zero? Is there any news from Brother Zero?"

As soon as she heard the words of the black lord Huiyan, Jiulan Youji started to question Jiulanshu, yes, it was a question.

Jiulan Youji's attitude is really incomprehensible, defending this Jiulanshu in front of Cone Shengling, even the vampire that Cone Shengling hates the most, will touch Cone Shengzero's bottom line again and again for this pure blood.

In front of Jiu Lanshu, as long as it is about Cone Shengling, he will show concern for Cone Shengling from all aspects, and pretend to be Cone Shengling's childhood sweetheart, tell some interesting stories between them, and explode those blood clans every minute.

Since the disappearance of Zhui Shengling, and the return of Jiu Lanshu who suddenly disappeared, he can't help but let his imagination run wild.

Cone Shengling has become LE, and it is undeniable that a lot of blood is needed to conceive a pure-blooded blood.

With a lucky look, the time seems to be right.

"Yuki wants to know?"

"Well, my brother told me where Zero is. I want to see him. Why can you be so ruthless, if you don't see him, you won't see him."

Jiulan Yuji said with a sad face, and was brooding over Coni Sheng Lingyi's departure.

"Ling and I met later and lived together for a while. Ling is doing very well, has new friends, new family, and has a good life."

Thinking of those people I saw three years ago, how could he be wronged, and wished to spoil him to heaven.

Hearing that Jiu Lanshu and Ling had met, the black lord Hui Yan confirmed his guess, and his anger was about to erupt in an instant.

But when he heard that Zero had new friends, family, and was doing well.The black master Hui Yan wanted to yell at him for being shameless, but he stopped suddenly before he could speak.

Is it good to have a zero pass?In his cognition, the two things of "living well" and Zhuo Shengling are not confused.

"Really? Zero without me...we...have a good time."

Jiulan Youji looked very disappointed, even though she tried to hide it, but because her emotions were too complicated, she couldn't control her expression.

"Father, I want zero papa."

Zhui Shengxing, who was sitting in Jiu Lanshu's arms, suddenly opened his mouth. When he opened his mouth, he was shocked to everyone who didn't know his life experience and had some vague guesses.

Zhui Shengxing spoke rashly, Jiu Lanshu was calm and at ease, vaguely stroking his back to comfort him, "Wait a minute, you will come here with zero papa."

Jiu Lanshu was obviously pleased by the address of Zhui Shengling, with a not-so-shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the child in his arms full of warmth.

"Zero papa? Father?"

The two titles gradually deepened Jiulan Yuji's ominous premonition, and she laughed twice, "This child is so cute, he actually recognizes his brother as his father."

"No, auntie, he is my father, the one who is biological and related by blood."

Speaking of his father, he has a sweet little mouth, and the smile on his mouth is like hiding honey. It seems that he has a good relationship with his father.

Jiu Lanshu looked down at the child's mischievous appearance, and smiled dotingly, which was the father's indulgence to the child.

The picture of father's kindness and son's filial piety made Jiulan Youji feel cold all over.

The child suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned around to smile sweetly at Jiulan Youji.

"Auntie, you know me, Ling Papa. Ling Papa's name is Zhui Sheng Ling, and I'm a vampire hunter." The speech had an ending sound, which was very playful.

This smile is like a nightmare to Jiulan Yuki, breaking all her fantasies.

What's going on, what happened, why... In the blink of an eye, the person she likes is with the person who likes her?

And a child? !
