After awakening the evil god, it was marked

Yan Zhijin liked snakes since she was a child.

From the first time he saw a snake in an encyclopedia, he fell in love with this animal.

Smooth body shape; dry, neat, cool, slippery, and shiny scales; hidden under the scales, seemingly soft, but actually full of strength; eyes that never close, focused and indifferent like jewels; Relaxed and lazy marches, lingering and brutal attacks, secret and unpredictable whereabouts, and creepy legends.

Elegant, mysterious, dangerous and beautiful, it also symbolizes the passionate desire and cold malice of human beings.

At the age of five, he caught his first snake in the yard—although he only owned it for half a day.

The snake was a sub-adult black-browed snake. He had read it in a book. It was not poisonous and ate mice. There was a black horizontal stripe above the eyes. It looked more gentle and honest than ordinary snakes.

He simply vacated a plastic box, prepared fresh water, and planned to move it to a comfortable big house later.When he caught the snake, he designed the display of the ecological tank in his mind.

It's just that the plan died before it even started.

Because of the panic, the snake had a severe discharge of acid, and made a mess of the box, so that Shen Chengfeng, who was passing by, was able to drop a biochemical weapon for someone.

Of course, the snake was confiscated by Shen Chengfeng.A five-year-old child is not yet able to bear the life and death of a life, not to mention this is a scary-looking snake.

Yan Zhijin watched him throw the snake away silently, and sat alone in front of the box crying.He didn't speak to Shen Chengfeng for three consecutive days, and the corners of his mouth were tense when he saw him.

In desperation, Shen Chengfeng asked someone he knew to bring a pet snake that was non-toxic, small in size, and docile, which was more suitable for children.

This is the real beginning of Yan Zhijin raising snakes.

That elder also later became Yan Zhijin's teacher.

From childhood to adulthood, he has raised at least a dozen snakes, and has come into contact with even more.Both Shen Chengfeng and Yan Tingxue are enlightened parents. They knew that he liked snakes, and they never stopped him. They were just worried about whether he would be hurt by snakes.

He has always abided by the principle and kept all non-venomous or slightly poisonous pet snakes.Occasionally, if you encounter a venomous snake or a snake that is forbidden to raise, you just watch it for a while and keep your distance.

But from the first moment he met the snake, a thought frantically flashed in his mind: he wanted to take the snake back, lock it in a luxurious cage, and make it his most cherished pet.

Reason told him that he should not take the snake away from his habitat privately, destroying the local ecological cycle, and should not trap the snake in a small and strange space, making him unhappy, but he could not resist the snake's attack on him. own temptation.

He had never seen such a beautiful snake.It has a slender body shape, a cobra-like neck that can be flattened, messy and slender silver ring patterns, and is different from other snakes, with eyes that can change between vertical pupils and round pupils, far exceeding the wisdom and calmness of ordinary snakes. Every point grows in his aesthetics.

Literally his dream pet.

Yan Zhijin is not a domineering person, but because of his wealthy background, he has not been unable to get what he wants.

He knew very well that he wanted the snake.

I want to raise him, build the most realistic landscaping for him, and caress his smooth scales.

Snake's special ability was a surprise and made him even more addicted.

People are always afraid of the unknown coming, but for Yan Zhijin, those mysteries are simply stimulants.

He likes things that are mysterious, powerful, and unanswered.

The more weird, abnormal, rare and strange, the more exciting he is, and his curiosity and thirst for knowledge are especially strong, as if he was born to understand the truth behind those unimaginable legends.

He not only wanted to keep the snake in captivity, but also wanted to figure out the source of its great power.

As for the progress of all mankind or the cultivation of secret weapons for the country...it is just an excuse to study snakes openly.He knew he wasn't that great yet.

Yan Zhijin only said "no" and stopped talking.

Fang Mian didn't ask any further questions, but said softly, "It's for the country and for mankind... Actually, I know, I don't feel anything about these two points."

He smiled embarrassedly: "Don't say I'm cold-blooded, they didn't do anything for me when I was young, and I have no feelings for them now."

Yan Zhijin was not surprised by this.Fang Mian is not a native of China, he came here with his parents seven or eight years ago.He was originally an orphan, but he went through several orphanages before being adopted by his current parents.He didn't talk about the specific experience, but thinking about it, he must have suffered a lot, so that he has no attachment to the country that only left him with painful memories.

"I came here just to follow the Lord's guidance," he held the necklace with his index finger and middle finger, flipped it back and forth, said a prayer or something, and said longingly, "I have a hunch, I The key to the door can be found here, it is the key."

"Of course, and you." He smiled brightly, with complete trust in his eyes. "I knew it when I saw you. You will definitely lead us to find the key."

Yan Zhijin also softened his eyebrows and said, "I wish you success."

"By the way, are you going to start preparing for the exchange conference next month?" Fang Mian patted her forehead and exclaimed.

Yan Zhijin counted the days in his mind.

Every four years, an international biological exchange conference is held for countries to exchange the latest biological research results, and this time it happens to be held in their school.

"Which results will be produced this time?" Fang Mian asked, "I asked them to prepare materials in advance."

"No hurry," Yan Zhijin thought, "Experiment No. 7."

"it is good."

Fang Mian roughly sorted out the important matters, and muttered to himself: "Is the Disheng Institute also sending people over? Do you want to contact them?"

Yan Zhijin tightened his fingers suddenly, and a chill spread upward from his fingertips.He said bluntly, "Yes. No need."

"That's right... This year's representatives should be Qi Li'an and the others. I remember that the old professors wanted to support him last time." Fang Mian lowered his head, thinking for himself.

The paper cup containing the coffee was crushed by a sudden force, and the coffee liquid splashed out.

Yan Zhijin looked expressionlessly at the few drops of coffee that dripped onto the hem of his clothes.

The clothes are dirty.

Needs to be changed and washed.

There was something bouncing around at hand, Yan Zhijin lowered his head, and found that the snake raised its head at some point, and was lying on his lap listening to their conversation.The appearance of listening carefully makes people feel that it is not a snake, but a human being on the same level as them.

When Yan Zhijin looked at it, it was also looking at him.

"It has nothing to do with you." Yan Zhijin stretched his stiff fingers, nodded the snake's head dully, and said in the same stiff voice, "Stay here for a few days, don't make too much noise."

The snake stared at him fixedly.

Yan Zhijin's face darkened.

He always felt that the snake could see through his thoughts.This made him feel very uncomfortable, and he didn't like others peeping into his heart.

Suddenly, the black snake threw the coffee and the bag away, soared into the air by itself, occupying the best position in Yan Zhijin's embrace, curling up its tail lazily, and rubbed against Yan Zhijin's embrace.

Yan Zhijin: ...

Silly snake.

***

At ten o'clock in the evening, Yan Zhijin left the institute on time.

The black snake had entangled him for a long time, and Yan Zhijin had warned him several times before sending him out reluctantly.

Zhou Hanguang was still waiting outside.

Yan Zhijin remembered that what was arranged for him should have been done long ago.

Probably because he was still concerned about the quarrel in the afternoon, Zhou Hanguang's expression was not as natural as usual.But he still tried his best to show a sunny smile, and took the initiative to help Yan Zhijin get things: "Teacher, let me take you back. It's so late, it's not safe for you to be alone."

Yan Zhijin directly refused: "No, my brother will pick me up."

Zhou Hanguang's expression became even more embarrassed.

He Jiayun came out to smooth things over: "Ahem, I didn't hear about it before, Major General Shen came here in person? Then can I take a peek openly. Well, Xiao Zhou, the professor also understands your kindness, but it's really a coincidence, you Don't be discouraged either. Professor, Xiao Zhou was worried about your safety. Didn't you always feel that someone was following you a while ago, but with Major General Shen here, I believe he didn't ask..."

Before she finished speaking, Yan Zhijin had already left with her things.

He Jiayun stared at his back eagerly, and was stuck for a long time: "Uh... I, I know, he must not want me to peek at Major General Shen. Ah, I don't smile so ugly, do I?"

There was a cloud of cloud over Zhou Hanguang's eyebrows, and his smile was cold and sharp: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first, and you should be careful."

Shen Zhichen's car was parked outside the institute.

Yan Zhijin got into the co-pilot's seat and put on his seat belt.

Shen Zhichen asked: "Here?"

Yan Zhijin put the documents on the back seat of the car: "Yes."

The car drove out of the campus smoothly.

After a while, Shen Zhichen asked, "Is today going well?"

"Ah."

Another long silence.

Both of them have a reticent personality, and they have been silent since no one raised the topic.

The only sound left in the car was the sound of the air conditioner.

The car passed two intersections, and Shen Zhichen spoke again.

"Are you..." Shen Zhichen considered his words, "Not too happy?"

"How do you say it?" Yan Zhijin crossed his fingers and put them squarely on his lap.

"I don't know," Shen Zhichen paused again, and after a few seconds, he said, "If you're tired, you can go home and rest."

"not needed for now."

"Father is looking forward to your return." Shen Zhichen tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips, "He just said two days ago that he would buy some fish back."

Fish is your favorite at home.

Yan Zhijin lowered his eyelids: "I see."

"If you really have no way to start, hand over the project to others." Shen Zhichen said, "You know, we don't want you to push yourself too hard. Whenever you want to rest, you are always welcome at home."

"I want to do this." Yan Zhijin said firmly.

A smile appeared on Shen Zhichen's lips, as if to say, I knew you would say that.

"If you're in a bad mood, you can find Zhiyu." Shen Zhichen said, "He's been watching some... a bit strange things recently, which may inspire you."

"What new subject is he planning to shoot?"

"I heard that it is a mythical theme from other planets..."

Speaking of this younger brother, the tone of both of them became much lighter.

When Yan Zhijin got home, the boulder on his chest seemed to be less heavy.

He put away his things, took a bath and washed them, fed the snakes, and picked a hognose snake randomly from the snake house to serve.

The snout of the hog-nosed snake is slightly raised, and the color of the flower is albino Kunta, which looks like yogurt mixed with orange fruit from a distance.

The hog-nosed snake was a little nervous at first, and stayed motionless in Yan Zhijin's hand, spitting out a message. It took a long time before he relaxed.

Ever since I came into contact with the giant snake in the laboratory, the snake at home has always been restless, especially afraid of him approaching.

Obviously, he would take a bath every time he went home, but these animals still seemed to be able to sense the smell of danger.

Fortunately, he wasn't too scared to keep him close.

While masturbating the snake, Yan Zhijin was processing homework and emails from students.

Before going to bed, he connected to the camera of the research institute.

At night, the snake is sleeping in the shade of a dense tree.

In the dim light, only the coiled shadow of the snake could be seen slightly undulating with the breathing.The silver rings on its body seem to form a complicated pattern.

Snakes don't have the ability to close their eyes, so they can only judge whether they are asleep by their movements.But even in its slumber, it still has a daunting deterrent power.

Yan Zhijin watched for a while, confirmed that everything was normal, turned off the monitor, and went to bed.

The moment he closed his eyes, the snake in the research institute lifted the leaves above his head.

He slowly swam out of the shadows, facing the camera, raised his head, as if he was watching something.

In the night, he leaned gracefully against the tree trunk, admiring his beautiful "believer" who knew nothing about it.

Or rather, his future... bride.

The author has something to say:

Generally speaking, snakes that move during the day have round pupils, and those that move at night have vertical pupils. A snake's pupils cannot change back and forth, but since Gong is not a real snake, give him a chance to change as he wants.

Gong: He treats me so well, he must like me.I know, he is my believer!I want to give him the best reward.

Subject: I believe in science.
