overnight evolution

The aircraft entered the edge of the city, and those tall buildings stood on the horizon like giants, with a thick and simple atmosphere rushing towards them.The material of the bulkhead of the aircraft is very peculiar, and it can change the transparency as the person's line of sight shifts.I watched as a small area under my feet gradually became transparent, and the spiky and scattered tops of the buildings showed dazzling colors in the sunlight, and white birds flew around the buildings, making high-pitched calls.All kinds of aircraft continued to pass by below, gradually converging into a torrent, flowing like a sea of ​​rivers to the magnificent academy in the center.

Across the two huge stone pillars decorated with gorgeous reliefs, there is a clear lake. The lake blocks the passage between the tall Gothic buildings and the outside world. reflection.The academy's rule is that once you get here, you can no longer take transportation—even if you come from high-level personnel.Various aircraft stopped in the air, hatches opened one after another, and various lights and countless figures rose from inside.In the light and shadow of the sky, several high-pitched calls sounded, like an agreed signal, countless beautiful species descended from the sky.

Some stopped in mid-air, with a gust of wind blowing around them, transforming into giant beasts, with green wind marks surrounding their feet, stepping onto the lake as if walking on flat ground.There was a girl who came out of a purple flying machine with flower petals on it. The three of them recited a harmony-like mantra in mid-air, and their bodies suddenly became radiant, and every strand of hair was fully revealed in the strong light.Their bodies began to ripple like lake water, and then scattered into countless light spots, slowly converging into a stream of light to chase after the giant beast and fly to the entrance on the other side of the lake—the three of them were probably fireflies.There are also a dozen or so young men and women who descended from the cone-shaped aircraft, with huge wings spread out behind them, with proud faces and sharp eyes, it seems that they are all races in the air.They took the wind to glide from high altitude to the opposite bank, and there were already people waiting for them on the treetops on the other bank.

As soon as they flew over, they immediately retracted their wings, suppressed the rebelliousness on their faces, put their right hands on their left shoulders, knelt down on one knee, and lowered their proud heads to the young man standing in the wind.I stared at the man in the aircraft, and if he felt something, his sharp eyes swept here with a half-smile, and penetrated the bulkhead of the aircraft to meet my sight.Under his gaze, I gradually realized that those eyes seemed to be able to see the people inside the aircraft, and the strange sense of oppression inhibited the flow of blood, making the passage of time around me slow.

Garnier stretched out a hand from the side, quickly covered my eyes, and brought the frozen me into his arms, and said in a low voice, "Don't look, the eagle's sight can penetrate all barriers."

The man seemed to notice Garnier's movements, and looked back.The oppressive feeling on the soul disappeared, as did the needle prickling feeling all over his body.Garnier let go of his hands covering my eyes, let me sit down by myself, and squinted at the young man who was flying away from a high place with his younger generation, with cold hostility in his eyes.

After a long time, he opened his lips and said, "Let's go out."

The hatch at the top opened slowly, and a soft blue light emitted from the bulkhead pushed us out like an invisible hand.When I landed on the roof of the cabin, I was dizzy listening to the roar of the giant lion-shaped beast on the aircraft beside me, and the gorgeous lightning flashed on its fur.It glanced at me, stepped forward with its right foreleg, and a grid spread from its claws in all directions, forming a gentle slope, until it was connected to the surface of the water, scaring the fish underneath to run around.I can see clearly that there is still a slight distance between the edge of this net and the water surface, and it will expand and contract accordingly with the fluctuation of the water surface.A daring fish jumped up from the water, trying to touch the power grid of the Prairie King, but the electric arc shrank subtly into a round hole, allowing the fish to pass through it.

Such precise control is really impressive, except for Gu Xiaocheng, I have never seen anyone more powerful than him.

I squinted to look at it, and found that it was looking at the naughty fish spitting bubbles with gentle eyes, and then walked towards the lake along its own path of electric light as if strolling in a garden, and every step it took would send out a squeaking electric current Voice.

A little further on, there was a pair of twins with charming eyes. As soon as they left the aircraft, they fell headfirst into the lake.

When they fell halfway, they transformed into two giant snakes from their heads, one green and one black, their soft bodies intertwined, spinning rapidly into a whirlwind, and the waves of the lake splashed in all directions.The races passing by the lake were all attracted by the huge movement, some could not dodge the water splashed all over their bodies, and some just took a look and then looked back, forming various light curtain barriers around their bodies to block the water waves Outside.

Garnier's voice sounded beside him, with mocking words: "This time of year is the best time for all races to show off their own strength. On the mainland, the level of individual strength is as important as the overall quality of the race. With a solid Backing, you must also have good strength in order to get a place on this campus."

Hearing this, I looked around, and found that not only us, but everyone stood on their own aircraft and watched the demonstrations of other species with the idea of ​​​​waiting and evaluating.The lake is wide and basically divided into six or seven areas. Each trip has six or seven races, either individually or in groups, crossing the great lake in front of them with their racial talents.The same is true for those who stood still on the other side, gathering in twos and threes, looking for potential threats and opponents among the remaining students on the other side.

These freshmen either have their seniors waiting on the other side, or they are led to the other side by their seniors. Both are a display of strength and a show off.My teacher asked Garnier to accompany me to appear here today, probably for the same purpose, such as a demonstration, to deter other people and so on.

Garnier stood beside me for a while, and he attracted many prying eyes.This person's appearance is too outstanding, and his aura is inexplicably stronger than before after cutting short hair, and he has not deliberately concealed it.But after seeing him, those people turned their attention to me, probably wondering how such a strong guy would bring a junior who was so weak that he couldn't even tell what race he was.

That's right, evolve-key is such a cheating population that has no racial characteristics of its own at all.Even if it was there before, it will lose its aura after awakening, unless the level can be raised to a certain level, a super I level like me, don't even mention it in front of these races with an average level above H.But the way these people looked at me didn't seem to be completely contemptuous. Even after realizing that I was just a juvenile body that was weak enough to stick to the ground, they didn't quickly look away. , and some strange lights.

Well, so what's going on here?

Before I had time to ask why these people looked at me similarly to those who had seen the alien locked in a cage, Garnier frowned and glanced at them, and said coldly: "Let's go too." Wings, but the face still maintains a normal appearance, and the coverage of the aura expands instantly.

I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that the patterns on his wings have become more complicated, and the color has become more beautiful, the brilliance is restrained, and every flash has a wonderful rhythm, which makes it easy for people to be intoxicated by it. A kind of enjoyment beyond the limits of the senses.The sweet and greasy fragrance from before has also become vague and elegant, as soon as I smell it, a sea of ​​flowers appears in front of me, and I subconsciously want to run into this unreal beautiful scenery.

I just took a step forward with my head full of ecstasy, when he grabbed me, tightened my waist and brought me back to my side.While Dieyi replied to block other people's sight, he reached out and patted my cheek, and said, "Hey, wake up you idiot, you fell into a hallucination before I even made a move, what are you doing?"

Breaking out of that state, seeing the magnified face in front of him that was almost monstrous, the psychological pressure immediately came up.This person is completely different from before. The indifference before was completely pretended, but now he is really cool, and only at certain times does he show obvious mood swings.

The tension in his eyes dissipated, and the inorganic coldness returned to him.He loosened the arms around my waist, let me stand upright, then stretched out the butterfly wings, and looked at me with frown.I shook my head to wake myself up, the phantom of the sea of ​​flowers completely disappeared from my eyes, and the strange expressions of others became obviously glaring.He rubbed his hair again, making them more messy, as if venting some kind of dissatisfaction, and finally lowered his arm and glanced at me: "Okay, let's go over there."

I lowered my head and visually observed the height of the aircraft from the water surface, which was definitely higher than a three-story building, so I wondered how likely it was that I would jump down from here and complete a 720-degree turn at a right angle like water, suppressing the splash of water.Garnier stood there and opened his arms, impatiently said: "Come on."

"...Are you going to carry me and fly over?"

I sincerely hoped that I had misunderstood the gesture, but the beautiful man nodded as a matter of course and didn't seem to feel at all that he shouldn't have done it.I took a step back and refused, "I don't want it, it's too embarrassing."

This time he didn't let go of his arm, he stepped forward and caught me: "Reject, what do you want if you don't fly over?"

Considering that many people around were watching, I struggled slightly, then lowered my voice angrily, "I'd rather jump from here and swim over by myself."

Unexpectedly, he flatly refused and said, "No, this is too embarrassing."

Damn it, what's the shame? !

I find that I can't communicate with this person in this kind of thing, maybe it's really because of racial differences, maybe there's a generation gap.If the age of these guys who look like humans is calculated according to human standards, it is really a terrifying thing.In Atlantis, the average lifespan of the lowest L race is 400 years, so when some people mixed with canine or bat genes were mixed on land, they were also rejected because of their ageless appearance and long life. As a strange race, its legends include vampires, zombies, werewolves and so on.

When I took this question to the housekeeper, who seemed to be only in his early twenties, I was successfully despised by him once because I had no common sense.Well, I can't blame me for this kind of thing. When this man recalls a rainy night when he was born 600 years ago, I think he is the most sinful guy.Afterwards, I also successfully found out that my father and mother are big monsters who have lived longer than him, but the housekeeper spread his hands and said that he didn't know the exact age of his master, my teacher.

After hearing this, I was stunned for a moment.I heard from Jess before that my teacher's race has died out in the long evolutionary history of Atlantis, and the glory of the past has become a distant dream, and he is the only member left in the powerful family.No parents, no brothers, just such a person bears the responsibility of the whole family, trekking alone in the torrent of time, I don't know how many years have passed.The heights are unbearably cold, my teacher is indeed a lonely king, because he is too powerful, the general Transcendent A Grade can't even stand shoulder to shoulder with him, and he can't naturally live with ordinary species.No wonder the whole person becomes so indifferent, and when he sees cubs of other races, he behaves so softly—then what, it seems that this man is really lonely.

Well, digressing.

I pulled back my unrestrained thoughts, focused on the person in front of me again, and asked while thinking about countermeasures: "How old are you?"

Garnier didn't expect that I would still be in the mood to ask such a question at this time. He pursed his lips, looked at me inquiringly, then let go, and replied, "More than 200—why ask this suddenly?" I heard this and looked up. , stared at this beautiful old man for a long time, and finally waved his hand in frustration.There is such a big difference, no wonder there is a generation gap, the thinking of the older generation is really different from ours.

After much deliberation, there was no result, and he kept on watching people closely, so I had no choice but to suggest: "Why don't you fly over first?"

He raised his eyebrows.I found it provocative when he did it, even though I knew he didn't mean it.

He repeated my words and added the second part: "And then you swim over by yourself?"

I was about to nod subconsciously, and shook my head halfway through, and said bravely, "You fly over first, and then I will think of a way." He changed his standing posture and looked at me from the corner of his eyes arrogantly: "Okay, Then you should find a way to get there first, and then I will fly over."

Hey, aren't you trying to find fault?

There are already more and more people standing and watching the performance on the other side. In the gap between us being so exhausted, another large number of people passed by us.Garnier's half-smiley face became very nasty, and I thought about respecting the old so I didn't punch him.Seeing me tangled up there, he quietly said: "Be obedient, let me carry you over there. No one except the aquarium will ever walk by water, and everyone regards getting wet as a shame."

...but I think getting wet is better than losing it, really.

The number of people on this side gradually decreased, and the number of people watching the theater on the other side of the lake gradually increased. The densely packed aircraft were still above the head, and the inside was completely empty.Garnier was still persevering in luring me into his arms, threatening and luring me all over again, so that I almost forgot that I should respect the old and love the young.Frowning and thinking for a long time, the light bulb on the top of my head finally turned on with a ding. I suddenly realized, looked up at him, and said my thoughts: "Why don't you kick me over?"

The corner of his mouth twitched: "Do you think you will die to attend the opening ceremony if you get kicked by me? And you would rather be kicked than let me fly over with you?"

Well, I also think this kind of thing is very embarrassing, and I take the initiative to find a smoker or something.But it's a matter of dignity, so I can only nod my head and make a firm statement: "Yes, kick me, I won't die."

I've already thought about it, when he kicks over, the airbag—ah bah, the nine tails will pop out automatically, wrap me into a ball, and take off most of the force, absolutely nothing will happen.And it doesn't matter if I lose my arms or legs after landing, I'm already a strange species that can be reborn with severed limbs, and if it's worse, there's the school hospital, what kind of injury can't Jess be cured?So I met his gaze without fear, and said calmly, "Come on."

He looked at me for a long time, finally snorted, and said with a fake smile: "Okay, you close your eyes first."

As soon as I thought about it, I tightened my skin, simply out of sight, and said in a low voice: "Come on."

His voice was closer, probably because he wanted to get closer so that he could use his strength better, and said in a low voice, "You first count to three."

Hey, if you want to kill or cut, just give me some!Because I couldn't see anything with my eyes closed, I could only anxiously wait for the kick to come, counting in a low voice: "One, two, three—"

As soon as the words fell, he was hugged by the waist and flew out.

... If I knew this would be the result, why should I wait until everyone has gone to the other side before letting him do it, so as to be embarrassing in front of everyone?Butterfly wings with gorgeous patterns danced gracefully behind him, and the entire lake surface became this guy's personal show, and a bunch of people stood opposite to watch him show off his flying skills, gliding close to the water surface without being splashed by the water.Landing on the other side, he let me go from his arms, straightened the messy clothes, and showed a smug smile: "How about it, my skills are not bad, right?"

The girls who were close to him were secretly looking at him, but they all blushed when they heard this.Well, I don't think they can be blamed for this at all. If you want to blame, this guy has a playboy face, and even the words he speaks are extremely easy to make people think wrong.Anyway, I have struggled and lost my face. I simply ignored the vague gazes around me and asked, "Then what are we going to do now?"

He combed his hair casually with his fingers, showing a pensive face. I found that this man liked to do this movement very much since his temperament changed drastically, and he always seemed to reveal a sense of temptation inadvertently.The whispers around became louder, but it seemed that the center of the discussion had changed protagonists.He didn't know it—or, he was used to it at all. After thinking for a moment, he put his hands back into his pockets, took his chin and pointed in the direction of the tall Gothic buildings, and said, "Let's go to Archie's first." Take your crystal."

After speaking, he lifted his legs and left, leaving behind the regretful eyes of a group of admirers.I followed, sharing some of the expectant eyes of the girls behind me, still wondering where I had heard the name Archie.
