Shanhai Folklore Research Institute

"Assistant Lin, are you willing to sign a lifetime labor contract with our hospital?"

The small restaurant was quite noisy, Wu Ting's voice was not loud, but Lin Mian could hear every word clearly.

"Before graduation, you don't need to clock in and out of get off work on time, and you don't need to stay in the research institute every day. You can take on field tasks or not. The salary is three times that of the previous part-time period. All benefits will only increase..."

Wu Ting sat upright, leaned forward slightly, put his hands on the narrow dining table in the shape of a tower, with a serious expression, and said word by word about Lin Mian's rights and obligations after joining the office.

"What do I need to do?" Lin Mian's scalp tingled from his seriousness.

"Assistant Lin, you only need to do one thing." Wu Ting still looked intently at the young man opposite, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Go home every day."

go home every day.

Lin Mian suddenly felt that he had ordered too much food just now, and now he couldn't eat at all, what happened to being almost fed by his own dog food?

Public money flirting.

Good morning, Mr. Dean, is it really his first time in love?

Dean Wu received the bewildered gaze from his little boyfriend, coughed lightly, he is not, he is not, this is really the first time for him, but this kind of thing also pays attention to talent, okay?

The dean feels that he is really talented in flirting with assistants, and he has completely forgotten the glorious deeds of seeking help from enthusiastic netizens and buying best-selling books on Taobao to learn!

"Then, are you... willing?" The employment of monsters is also a promise, more effective than any written contract, Wu Ting asked again at the end.

"Yeah." Lin Mian didn't hesitate, he likes this job, likes the monster colleagues in the research institute, and also likes the boss who is so powerful that he can feel at ease.

The "small" house that Wu Ting bought was a detached villa in a high-end community, a few hundred meters away from Sichuan University, and it took about 10 minutes to walk.

Lin Mian had no class in the afternoon, so Wu Ting accompanied him back to the dormitory to pack his things. Before Lu Yichao knew it, he went out to play basketball with his boyfriend, and a certain roommate ran away again.

This is Wu Ting's second visit to Lin Mian's dormitory building. Before, because it was summer vacation, there were not many people on campus. Now that school has started, both of them are handsome guys with great looks. Followed all the way.

Lin Mian was originally a student of the Chinese Department of Sichuan University, but he doesn't like to be in the limelight. Except for Lu Yichao, he seldom interacts with other people. In the past, there were bold seniors and even seniors who confessed to him, but they were all rejected. Lin Mian politely refused.

Out of the corner of Wu Ting's eye, he caught sight of the people behind him, and suddenly stopped walking downstairs in the dormitory.

"What's wrong?" Lin Mian wondered.

Dean Wu smiled faintly, pulled him into his arms, and kissed him on the forehead.

"Fuck!"

The crowd suddenly gasped, and Lin Mian was also stunned.

"Okay, let's go up." Wu Ting put his palm lightly on the assistant's back, pushing him forward.

Lin Mian's ears started to feel hot again, but she still had to pretend to be calm, wasn't it just a kiss on the forehead?Isn't it just a kiss on the forehead in front of so many people?Isn't that just coming out publicly?

It's no big deal... right?

The two went to dormitory 303 under the dreamy eyes of the students.

"Oh my god, that handsome guy is actually Senior Lin's boyfriend, that's too cool, awsl!"

"Sure enough, have the good-looking blue children been digested internally?"

"Oh, the feeling of falling out of love twice a day..."

"Just now, the way Xuedi Lin's boyfriend kissed him is absolutely amazing, kswl!"

"Yeah, a person who obviously looks so cold..."

"Overbearing president x pure love is grass, hey, I believe in love again!"

boom--

A loud noise interrupted the noisy discussion, and after a brief silence, terrified screams broke out from the crowd.

Lin Mian turned around in surprise, and Wu Ting couldn't help frowning.

"what happened?"

"Ah!!!! Dead people are dead!"

"Someone jumped off the building!"

"Call an ambulance!"

"Notify the counselor!"

"Housekeeper, is the housekeeper here?"

……

The crowd scattered in all directions due to panic, but they didn't completely recede. They surrounded them vacantly, leaving a large space in the middle. From Lin Mian's angle, he could just see the situation of the person who jumped from the building.

It should be a boy, lying face down on the ground, a large amount of blood spread from his head and face, soaking the white vest on his body.

Lin Mian faintly felt that something was wrong, but couldn't tell for a while.

It is not uncommon for students to commit suicide by jumping off buildings on campus. In middle and high school, it is often due to academic pressure, while college students are more out of emotional or financial entanglements.

The school leaders heard the news and rushed to disperse the crowd, followed by an ambulance, and some people called the police.

The dormitory aunt kept talking about the crimes in a low voice, and at the same time told everyone to go back to their dormitories.

Lin Mian took one last look at the male student who was carried into the ambulance by the medical staff. There were whispers everywhere in the dormitory building, and Lin Mian's heart sank.

Wu Ting patted him on the back softly, Lin Mian twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and quickly packed his things. This time, in addition to the schoolbag, there was also a small suitcase, which was mainly used to store autumn and winter clothes.

Lin Mian sent Lu Yichao a WeChat message, explaining where he was going, and then left the dormitory with Wu Ting.

The sun outside is still very strong. Fortunately, after entering September, the heat of summer is less, and the smell of autumn is more refreshing.

The high-end community next to Sichuan University was a project a few years ago. There were no high-rise residences in it, but only a group of villas. Wu Ting bought a second-hand house that he had never lived in.

The villa has two floors and is not particularly big, so Dean Wu called it a small house, but it has a garden, a basement and a terrace. The interior decoration is a modern style of black, white and gray that is popular nowadays. meters, only the master bedroom, study room and back-shaped corridor are left on the second floor.

Lin Mian ran to the kitchen. There was a tall multi-door refrigerator standing in the corner. When she opened it, she couldn't help laughing.

So the itinerary for the two of them in the afternoon naturally turned into a big purchase.

The little assistant walked through the shelves of the supermarket, and the dean followed him with a shopping cart. When passing the snack area, there was a lucky cat sugar bowl on the pile of shopping carts, colorful fruit candies and Lin Mian's previous food. Had exactly the same.

"I'll buy it for you after I finish eating."

Lin Mian has forgotten when Wu Ting said this sentence, but the dean has always remembered it...

After purchasing, they pressed the road for a while. Assistant Lin suggested to watch a movie, and Dean Wu readily agreed.

As a student of the Chinese Department, the potential romantic factor makes Lin Mian hope that the first movie he and his boyfriend will watch is a romantic movie, not a melancholy and sad literary movie.

however……

Because not long after the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, major theaters were still immersed in the aftertaste of the Ghost Festival, so in the end they had no choice but to watch a horror movie.

As the plot progressed, men and women screamed one after another in the dark cinema, and several couples huddled together. It has to be said that at this moment, to some extent, horror movies and romance movies have achieved the same effect.

Lin Mian looked at the big screen and peeked at Dean Wu, who was lazily leaning on the armrest of the chair, feeling conflicted.

To be honest, this movie is not scary to him at all, the little assistant is not afraid of the scarier experience than this when he was on a mission before, okay?

But sometimes it seems that if you are too courageous, you will lose a little bit of fun...

Just when Lin Mian was inexplicably troubled, Wu Ting gently pressed his head into his embrace.

Lin Mian struggled slightly, and muffled, "I'm not afraid..."

The serious voice of the dean came from above his head: "Well, I'm afraid."

Lin Mian couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and stretched out her arms to hug his waist, the two of them stuck together like Siamese twins, the corners of Wu Ting's mouth curled up slightly.

After watching the movie and having dinner outside, it was past nine in the evening when I got home. Lin Mian was lying on the bed after washing up, playing with her mobile phone.

Sure enough, Lu Yichao complained hoarsely in WeChat that he was ungrateful for sex. The other roommates in Ling Feiyu’s dormitory had all returned to school. Huge, I almost cried.

A mature gourd baby: Linzi, you don’t love me anymore, holding a bowl and crying.jpg

Paji: Can't you let Ling Feiyu come over and sleep with you?

A mature gourd baby: ... makes sense.

When Wu Ting came out of the bathroom, Lin Mian was scrolling through Moments. The air conditioner was on in the room. A thin quilt was put on the little assistant, and her right foot was disheveledly exposed from under the quilt, dazzlingly white.

Wu Ting gently held his ankle, Lin Mian's skin was very delicate and thin, and the blue blood vessels could be vaguely seen underneath.

At the age of 19, between teenagers and youth, everything looks green and beautiful.

Lin Mian felt a little itchy where he was being held. He couldn't help smiling and retracted his feet. He put down the phone and looked at Wu Ting, his eyes sparkling.

Dean Wu admitted that being looked at by Assistant Lin like this, he was a little bit up, and the hand holding the other's ankle moved up inch by inch involuntarily.

Gradually, Lin Mian couldn't laugh anymore, and her eyes began to become blurred, and Wu Ting kissed him tenderly...

Lin Mian's mind was dizzy, but her body was extremely sensitive. Every perception seemed to be infinitely magnified.

The originally cold air slowly became scorching hot, and the broken hair on Lin Mian's forehead was wet with sweat. He panted quickly, and looked at Wu Ting without blinking. The corners of his eyes and the skin around his neck were stained. Pink, as bright as a peach blossom, he is like a drowning traveler, sinking continuously, stretching out his hand as if trying to grab something, Wu Ting gently kissed his fingertips, and then clasped his fingers...

It was late at night.

Lin Mian fell asleep in the early morning, and continued to dream. The dream was pitch black, and he was in a trance. There seemed to be an extremely dazzling light in the distance, which made him unable to open his eyes.

He instinctively ran forward following that light, getting closer, getting closer, as if he was about to touch it the next moment, and then he woke up.

On the dining table in the living room were the soy milk fritters and tea eggs bought by Wu Ting. They were still warm. Lin Mian walked around the villa but didn't see anyone. Only when she turned on her phone did she find that the other party had left her a WeChat message.

Wu Ting: Bao, you are particularly annoying today, likable and never tired of watching.Breakfast is on the table, eat it while it is hot; the special management office has a meeting, and I go home in the evening.

Lin Mian looked at the tiresome earthy love story, and silently put the phone back in her pocket.

He has a full day of classes today, including modern Chinese and comparative literature in the morning, classical philology and history of foreign literature in the afternoon, and introduction to literature in the evening.

It's not that the sophomore's homework is really so intense, it's that Lin Mian deliberately spread Friday's classes to the other four days in order to have three rest days a week. Now it seems that this decision is very correct, allowing him to have a relative There is plenty of time to pick up field missions from the institute.

Although Wu Ting said that he only needs to go home every day, Lin Mian does not intend to be a rice bug who eats and waits to die. Since he has decided to do this job, he should do his best as before. .

As soon as Lin Mian entered the classroom, she saw Lu Yichao sitting in the back row and waving at him.

"I thought you wouldn't come to class today." Calabash Baby winked at him ambiguously.

"?" Grandpa Lin was puzzled.

"Didn't you do this and that with your boss last night?" This time it was Lu Yichao's turn to be surprised.

Facing the straight ball from her roommate, Lin Mian: ...

Lu Yichao rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought: "It shouldn't be, as the saying goes, Xiaobie is better than a newlywed... Fuck, Linzi, maybe you are the one on top!"

A certain gourd baby who thought she had discovered the truth felt admiration for Grandpa Lin spontaneously.

Lin Mian: ...

Lin Mian ignored his nonsense, and instead asked about the boy who jumped off the building last night, Lu Yichao's fair face suddenly wrinkled into a bun: "He's dead, he was in the ambulance before he was sent to the hospital. Lost all vital signs, the police/police immediately started investigating when they arrived."

Lin Mian's heart sank when she heard this, "Why did you suddenly commit suicide?"

Lu Yichao shook his head: "I don't know about that..."

The incident of jumping from the building caused quite a disturbance on the campus of Sichuan University, but because the school responded promptly and calmed down the parents of the deceased, the disturbance subsided after a short while.

In the evening, Dean Wu came to pick up his boyfriend from get out of class, and the two strolled along the curb towards home.

"I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter, but I can't figure it out." Lin Mian kicked a small stone away, chatting with Wu Ting casually.

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it." Wu Ting gently stroked the top of his hair, "I'm going to Taize in a few days."

"Huh?" Lin Mian looked up at him.

"I said before that the internal strife among the mermaids has not completely subsided. Today, at the meeting of the special management office, it was mentioned that there are signs of turmoil in Taize, so I plan to go there again to completely resolve the issue of ownership of power." Wu Ting answered patiently.

"Want to go together?"

When Lin Mian first joined the job, there was also a riot among the mermaids. At that time, there was a severe drought in Sichuan. He and Brother Wei went to Linwan Village to catch snakes. Wu Ting went to Taize alone. I took him with me, but as a result, too many things happened in those two months, and the trip to Taize was postponed until September.

"When are you leaving?" Lin Mian asked after thinking about it.

"Early the day after tomorrow, I can come back in three or four days soon." Wu Ting answered casually. In his opinion, although the mermaid tribe also belonged to the ancient monster tribe, most of them were arrogant by nature and acted wildly. To tame, to obliterate them all.

Lin Mian did the math, the day after tomorrow happens to be Friday, three or four days is not too long, if you don't come back in time on Monday, ask Lu Yichao to ask for a leave of absence.

Thinking of this, Lin Mian nodded, "Let's go together."

……

Taize is the ancient name of Bohai Sea.

Dean Wu said that he did not lie to the little assistant when he said that he set off early on Friday. Before dawn, the two of them arrived at the coast of Taize by helicopter. Brother Wei who sent them over waved goodbye to Lin Mian, and then drove back in the helicopter. Mr. Dean In order to leave the nest for love, all the miscellaneous and trivial matters in the research institute fell on Gouwei's immature shoulders.

The light is shining in the east, the sea is not calm, and the waves are beating against the rocks gently.Although there have always been rumors of mermaids among the people, they are just rumors, and no one dares to pat their chests and say that they have seen them.

"That's because most of the humans who have actually seen the sharks are dead." Wu Ting's tone was cold.

Lin Mian was surprised.

Wu Ting didn't say any more, he raised his hands slightly, and the huge monster power condensed into a stream of rockets, as if dragging a long-tailed comet across the sea. A large expanse of waterless vacuum.

A few seconds later, a handful of black dots appeared in Lin Mian's vision. Gradually, the black dots became clearer and clearer, and the outline of a human figure could be seen.

"Master Wu!" The leader's voice was extremely clear, and there was a wonderful ethereal feeling in his ears, which made people unable to help but imagine how graceful his appearance should be.

It seems that the mermaid race is really as sweet as the rumors say... Lin Mian admired secretly in his heart.

The silhouette of the human figure gradually became clearer, and then... Assistant Lin cracked open.

A total of eight people appeared in front of them, six of them were nearly two meters tall, with black complexion, scales on their cheeks, fish fins behind their ears, and fancy short-sleeved shirts. See the strong biceps exposed and the looming toned abs.

The height of the last two people is more than two meters, the facial features are slightly more delicate, the black ponytail is erected high, the floral shirt is made into a slim style, the shoulders are much narrower than the previous six people, the chest is more plump, and the arms are more muscular than Lin Sleeping thighs are still thick...

beautiful?Sound sweet?

Lin Mian couldn't convince himself that these two female mermaids, ah no, the female warriors, were the little mermaids he had seen in fairy tales.

Turn into bubbles for love?

No, it doesn't exist!

"Although the Yuren clan is a patrilineal clan, both men and women in the clan are very strong, and because they attach great importance to inheritance and disdain to intermarry with other monster clans, so tens of thousands of years have passed, and the blood has been quite pure." Wu Ting lowered his voice and told Xiao Assistant Science.

"Lord Wu!" The leader shouted again, his tone agitated, and Lin Mian was a little disillusioned.

Seeing this, the corners of Wu Ting's lips curled slightly, and immediately restrained his expression, and nodded slightly at the man: "Jing Xing."

Lin Mian guessed that this merman named Jing Xing had a high status in the clan, because the remaining seven had kept their heads down since they saw them, not daring to look directly at Wu Ting.

"Where's Jing Rong?" Wu Ting asked casually.

A complicated look flashed across Jing Xing's eyes, and he said with a smile, "Brother is preparing to hunt, and he sensed Lord Wu's demonic power coming from the sea, so he asked me to come and greet him."

After speaking, he made a gesture of please.

hunting?

Didn't you say there was a riot?

Lin Mian was puzzled, but Wu Ting's expression didn't change. He gently took the assistant's hand and stepped into the sea. Lin Mian thought he would fall directly into the water, but it didn't. The sea water automatically avoided the moment before it touched him. Open, the ring on the neck is slightly hot, warm and comfortable.

This ring was put on by Wu Ting himself on the day when the demon market opened in order to cover up his human aura, and he never returned it after that.Lin Mian later asked Wu Ting what the ring was, and the dean was vague, saying that it was transformed from a part of his body, which contained extremely high demonic power, and could protect him at critical moments.

Lin Mian didn't speak for a long time after listening to it. It's scary and moving to carry a part of her boyfriend's body with her...

It was the first time Jing Xing saw Lin Mian, but it was not the first time he heard about Wu Ting's assistant. The relationship between the two was already semi-public in the demon world. With a knowing smile, he looked at Lin Mian with a little more ambiguity.

This gaze made Lin Mian feel a little uncomfortable. He lowered his eyes and did not meet his gaze.

The mermaid's lair is in the deepest part of the sea. Because of the ring given by Wu Ting, Lin Mian can walk and breathe freely in the sea, no different from that on land.

There are a lot of creatures in the sea, all kinds of fish, shrimp, shells, algae and sea anemones are innumerable, but the real spirits are extremely rare. Lin Mian suspects that the mermaids are the only monster race in this sea area.

Lin Mian originally thought that the mermaid's lair would be a magnificent palace-style building. After all, as a native of China, he was deeply influenced by a certain classical myth and novel since childhood, and believed that the magnificent underwater palace was the normal residence of monsters.

In fact, what appeared in front of his eyes was an extremely large group of pyramids. These pyramids were of different sizes, but they were all made of boulders half the height of a person. Probably because they were too old, there were many algae and barnacles attached to the surface. , appearing dark green.

The pyramid located in the center of the tower group was the largest, and there were many small black spots densely gathered on the square in front of it. When he got closer, Lin Mian realized that those black spots were all sharks like Jing Xing.

But instead of a flowered shirt, he was wearing a camouflage T-shirt. Lin Mian frowned slightly at the murderous aura that rushed over his face.

He never thought that there would be such an excellent mermaid army in the depths of Taize, far inland... Yes, the army, even though they didn't have weapons in their hands at the moment, Lin Mian had no doubts about the mermaids themselves. It is a sharp humanoid weapon.

Lin Mian couldn't imagine what would happen if this army rioted and the war spread to the interior.

"Humans have always misunderstood the mermaids. They were never angels in the sea with beautiful singing voices, but walking killing machines." Wu Ting said softly.

Lin Mian nodded, secretly raising her vigilance for this trip to Taize.

"Lord Wu!" King Shark's eldest son, Jing Rong, looks about five or six points like his younger brother Jing Xing, but he looks a little older. He looks 27 or [-] years old, with handsome features and deep eyes, making it difficult to read. Knowing what he was thinking, the tone and gesture of Wu Ting were also very respectful.

Lin Mian couldn't help but glanced at her boyfriend, the suspicion that had been deliberately ignored all this time began to stir again.

Dean... is he really a black turtle?

But right now he can't think too much, because Jing Rong spoke again.

The mermaids live in the sea and feed on fish, and the fish in the sea are different from those in the river. Many of them have the habit of migrating. In winter, the food will be greatly reduced, so hunting in autumn is particularly important for the mermaids.

"Master Wu, would you like to go with me?" Jing Rong made an ancient salute to Wu Ting.

Wu Ting nodded slightly: "Yes."

With a big wave of Jing Rong's hand, a large wave of mermen got the order to swing their colorful fish tails, breaking the water in one direction like a sharp sword, followed by the second wave, and the third wave...

Half a minute later, the queue on the square suddenly decreased by half. When Lin Mian wondered why the remaining mermen didn't follow up, Jing Xing, who had been standing beside them, blew his whistle, and the mermen started to move.

The old Shark King left suddenly, and the whereabouts of the Shark Orb, which symbolized royal power, was unknown. There was no such thing as a successor in the Shark tribe. In the past ten years, several sons including daughters fought openly and secretly, and there were countless turmoil. In the end, only Jing Rong and Jing Xing remained. The big faction, and the rest of the weaker ones will be killed directly if they don't attach themselves.

Lin Mian looked at the merman army that was swimming farther and farther, and thought that the hunt this time might not be so simple...

The hunting location was near an ocean current to the east of Taize, where the water temperature was suitable and the fish shoals were plump. Lin Mian stood on a protruding reef, where the water and the sky met in the distance, and the rising sun was like a golden ball suddenly jumping out of the sea. The prelude to the hunt was kicked off.

As an ancient monster race, the mermaids eat fish, but they are actually very picky. It is difficult for ordinary small fish and shrimps to catch their eyes. Lin Mian only knew that the mermaids' hunting target this time was killer whales after watching the scene. .

He didn't know how powerful the merman was, but the opponent's body was definitely the most powerful armor and weapon, especially the tail. Four or five ordinary merman could overturn an adult killer whale together, and their speed was so fast that once the prey There is only one way to die if you are targeted.

Hundreds of mermen were swimming below the surface of the sea, well-trained and dispersed, forming huge hunting nets.

Not long after, huge waves rolled up less than ten meters away from Lin Mian, and the surrounding sea water was soon stained red with blood. They would think that they were singing to their heart's content, but they didn't know what kind of bloodthirsty murderous intent was hidden under this beautiful singing.

Jing Rong and Jing Xing did not join the hunt, but swam to Wu Ting and Lin Mian.

"My lord!" The two brothers pawed at the reef with their hands, their tails were still in the sea, Lin Mian was suddenly very curious about how the sharks would walk when they went ashore.

As if seeing what he was thinking, Jing Xing explained with a smile: "The tail of the shark will automatically become biped when it leaves the water, but because the tail is a very good weapon, we don't like to go ashore unless there are special circumstances. You Right, bro?"

Probably because he didn't expect to be Q suddenly, Jing Rong froze for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Lin Mian couldn't help but glanced at the two of them, thinking that you really had better not plan to go ashore...

Wu Ting's gaze stayed on Jing Rong's face for a moment, and the next second, the shark in the distance suddenly shouted: "What is that?"

Lin Mian's attention was attracted, and there was something on the sea at the end of his sight that was swimming towards them quickly!

"Fish?" the mermaids chattered.

"It looks like a big guy!"

"Is there such a big fish in Tezer?"

……

Everyone stared closely at the approaching ripple, when the tide on the sea suddenly rose, many sharks who were still hunting were pushed far away by the waves, and the prey that they almost caught were also scared away.

"What's going on?" Jing Rong flicked his tail and rushed out, followed by Jing Xing.

Lin Mian felt it for a while, and was surprised, there was no wind around, so how could there be such a big wave?

The sea with a radius of a hundred miles was choppy, and the eye-catching ripples had disappeared, leaving only a huge vortex.

At the same time, a huge wave of Zhang Gao swept in like a torrent and a tsunami. The rock where Lin Mian and the others were standing shook violently and began to sink slowly. Wu Ting sensed something was wrong and hugged the little assistant in his arms.

The sharks tried their best to swim out, trying to fight against the gravity of the vortex. Their terrified screams resounded throughout the sea, but with little effect, even Jing Rong and Jing Xing brothers were sucked into the bottom of the sea.

The sea water dragged Lin Mian uncontrollably towards the center of the vortex. Wu Ting clasped his fingers tightly but dared not use force. The gravitational force of the water flow was too strong. Lin Mian's human body couldn't bear it, so he directly It is possible to be torn.

Wu Ting frowned, swam towards Lin Mian, hugged him tightly again, and the two were swallowed by the vortex together.

The vortex stayed in place for a few seconds and continued to move. After a while, the sea surface returned to calm. The seabird swooped down from the sky and picked up a fat fish, then flapped its wings and flew away. No one knew what happened here just now.

……

Lin Mian woke up from the darkness. The uncomfortable feeling of sea water squeezing his chest had not completely subsided. He squinted his eyes to adapt to the surrounding light, and then immediately looked for Wu Ting's figure.

"I'm here." The dean's deep and familiar voice reassured the little assistant instantly.

Only then did Lin Mian realize that she was sitting on a rock by the sea. Wu Ting came from not far away, as if she had just checked the terrain.

Lin Mian moved his numb hands and feet, and Wu Ting helped him stand up.

"Where is this?"

"It seems to be some unknown island." Wu Ting patted the fine sand off his clothes for him.

"Island?" Lin Mian repeated with a frown. "Brother Jing Rong and the hunting team of the Yuren clan? Did they also get dragged here like us?"

Wu Ting shook his head: "I don't know, and this island seems to be weird."

"?" Lin Mian was puzzled.

Wu Ting's expression was slightly solemn: "On this island, I feel that my demon power and perception have been suppressed by half."

half!

Lin Mian was surprised. He had witnessed Wu Ting's strength countless times with his own eyes. It was no problem to shoot through Bi Fang with an arrow. Now this island can suppress the ancient monster, and the vortex of unknown origin, Lin Mian Mian felt that things were getting more and more bizarre.

"Let's go around the island first, and see if we can meet Jing Rong and the others." The little assistant suggested, and Dean Wu readily agreed.

As a result, a quarter of an hour later, the Merman Race didn't see them, but saw a few children playing at the beach.

Lin Mian didn't expect there to be aborigines on this island!

He trotted over, intending to inquire about the situation of the island with the children, but when he got closer, he realized something was wrong.

There are six children in total, five of them are around twelve or thirteen years old, and one looks younger, probably under ten years old.

And those five big ones are teaming up to bully the young ones!

Seeing this, Lin Mian hurried over and shouted, "What are you doing!"

The five children were startled when they saw a stranger suddenly, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

The crowd dispersed, and Lin Mian saw clearly that the child's head had been held in the water. He quickly pulled him up. The child was handsome, but his face was covered with salty sea water and fine sand. It was tightly closed, Lin Mian's heart sank, he probed the carotid artery, it was still beating, and was about to use the local methods in the countryside to try to wake him up, the child slowly opened his eyes.

"Are you okay?" Lin Mian was taken aback, then heaved a sigh of relief and asked concerned.

The child found himself lying in the stranger's arms and couldn't help struggling. Lin Mian let him go, and the stranger ran away immediately.

When the other children saw this, they also planned to scatter like birds and beasts. Lin Mian quickly grabbed the oldest and fattest one among them, and said intimidatingly, "There must be a limit to playing, and you are not allowed to put people in the water anymore, you know? Be careful, I'll tell your parents!"

Twelve or thirteen-year-old children are afraid of their parents' mixed doubles no matter how skinny they are. Assistant Lin thought that he used this trick well, but the little fat man in the lead was not only not afraid, but also plausibly asked: "Who are you? How dare you control me?" Nosy about our family, do you know who my dad is?"

Lin Mian was instantly shocked by the imposing manner of the landlord's stupid son. Seeing that he didn't speak, the child became even more proud: "My father is Dr. He!"

The corners of Lin Mian's mouth twitched when he heard this: ... Doctor He?My dad is still Teacher Huang!

"And we didn't bully him, that guy is a sea monster!" the little fat man said confidently.

Siren?

Lin Mian cast a questioning look at her boyfriend, as if asking what is that?

The dean shook his head, saying he hadn't heard of it.

A monster that even the ancient monster doesn't know, so it's actually made up, right? You guys are bullying people, right? !

Lin Mian clicked his tongue, and was about to speak, when he saw a group of brats who were still in high spirits immediately lowered their heads, so honest, Lin Mian was surprised, Wu Ting's eyes fell behind him.

"Xiaoqi! Are you bullying Xiaoyu again?" A gentle but stern voice sounded, and Lin Mian turned around suddenly.

The visitor looked to be in his early forties, and his appearance was full of the charm of a mature man. He was slender and well-mannered. He couldn't tell what was wrong, but it gave Lin Mian a strange sense of disobedience.

"Father..." The little fat man who couldn't be dragged just now turned into a good baby in an instant, and the other three also followed suit and shouted obediently: "Hello, Doctor He!"

Is he Dr. He?

Lin Mian and Wu Ting looked at each other, and the man obviously noticed them, and smiled politely: "My name is He Minghan, you two were also swept to the island by the hurricane just now, right?"

"Also? Hurricane?" Lin Mian was surprised.

He Minghan nodded: "Hurricanes often blow on the sea here, and the hurricanes will destroy the coast of the island in a mess, but they will also bring all kinds of fresh fish, and sometimes there are crew members or tourists from other sea areas. .Of course, the latter situation is rare, but today is a coincidence, and several people have been involved before you.”

When Lin Mian heard the words, he immediately thought of the two brothers of the Merman Clan, so he asked, "Where are they now?"

"You know each other?" He Minghan was surprised.

There is nothing to hide about this, Lin Mian nodded.

"Two of them were slightly injured and were found by fishermen who got up early and sent them to my house." He Minghan said patiently.

What happened just now was too chaotic, Lin Mian didn't expect that Yi Yuren's strong body would be injured, and he didn't know whether the injury was caused when he was hunting, or when he was sucked into the whirlpool.

"Can we go and see them?" Lin Mian glanced at Wu Ting, the dean's eyes stayed on the sea, a little carelessly, and proposed to He Minghan.

"Of course." He Minghan didn't hesitate too much. This Doctor He has maintained a good demeanor since the meeting. Lin Mian has a good impression of him.

After He Minghan finished speaking, he took his son, He Xiaoqi, and waved to the other four children, signaling them to go home early, and took Lin Mian and the two to the center of the island.

The terrain on the island is relatively flat, and the soil is mainly sandy. From time to time, you can see reefs that have been washed away by the sea. The seaside is not too far from the islanders' settlements. He Minghan educates the little fat man along the way.

"He's a sea monster, that's why we didn't bully him." He Xiaoqi muttered unconvinced.

"Kraken? Are there any monsters in this sea?"

Lin Mian originally said this with the mentality of teasing the little fat man, in his opinion, the so-called sea monster is probably just the children's imagination, but He Minghan nodded seriously: "Yes. "

Lin Mian and Wu Ting exchanged glances: "How?"

Before He Minghan could speak, the little fat man rushed to tell them a mysterious story.

About eight or nine years ago, a young couple on the island went to a reef beach on the east coast for a date in the middle of the night. There were no ferocious fish near the sea, so he decided to go down and have a look on a whim.live here
