The name of Xingguang River comes from a small fish that only lives in this water area.They are transparent throughout and emit a subtle silvery glow in the dark.It was still daytime when the Road to the Underworld took Lu You past. Although you couldn’t see the fish swimming slowly like the stars in the water, the scene of the clear river flowing quietly between the forests on both sides and the banks of the Baisha River was enough to please the eyes. .

The camp of the Road to Hades guild is on the outskirts of the forest not far from the river, and the patrols in the nearby towns are also very strict against poachers. Regardless of selfishness or safety considerations, it is best to send mermaids here choose.

The river formed a small lake on a gentle terrain, and there was a wooden trestle bridge extending into the water by the lake. The Road to Hades hugged Lu You until he walked to the end of the bridge, half-knelt down on the edge of the wooden board soaked in the lake water, and gently lifted the mermaid. put into the water.

The cloak of special material becomes thin and transparent after soaking in water, and the edges spread and float like jellyfish.It feels very comfortable to have the tail submerged in the cool and clean water. The mermaid's instinct makes Lu You want to sink immediately and swim deeper into the water.

He controlled the swing of his tail somewhat awkwardly, turned over under the water, and made his hair loose, and floated softly with the water together with the cloak, and then closed it to his side as he floated up, dripping wet Closely stick to the back, shoulders and arms, outlining the outline of the body.

Tiny drops of water glistened in the sunlight... Road to Hades watched this scene and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The splashing water droplets and the water flowing over the bridge deck soaked a small piece of his clothes and pants.Lu You grabbed the edge of the front plank of the trestle bridge, raised his head slightly to meet his gaze, his expression looked very pure and happy, and he didn't realize what he looked like in the eyes of another person at all.

Road to Hades stretched out his hand, his fingertips touched the cold fingers after soaking in the water, and then slowly moved down the back of his hand, holding the slender wrist bone in the water.

Before he fully closed his fingers, Lu You felt a sense of crisis in his heart, and quickly withdrew his hand away: he always felt that if he took a step slower, the Road to Hades would grab him and drag him back to the shore.He intentionally showed an expression of displeasure towards the road to Hades, let go of his other hand, and backed away a little from the bridge—not because he was really angry or afraid, but more because he saw someone else on the shore coming.

A girl in pink and white trotted over along the lake, and yelled "Hades" when she stepped onto the trestle bridge.She was holding a staff nearly one person tall in her hand, and she was wearing complicated clothes, but her footsteps were still unusually light, and she approached lightly and quickly.

"It's really you! I didn't expect you to go to a place so far away from the camp to see the scenery. I come here often..." She laughed and said halfway, her eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the water below the shoulders not far away. The mermaid who stared at her curiously, not only swallowed the second half of the sentence, but also hurriedly stopped her footsteps.

Road to Hades turned his head and glanced at her, and in the process of this action completed the transformation from smiling to expressionless. "I know..." he said coldly, "I've seen you several times."

Lu You saw an ID appearing on the girl's body.She is the "Peach Tea" mentioned by Monster's teammates Ye Jing and Xiao Ka, as well as the pig iron boiled water.Probably because he had never seen a mermaid before, Taozicha's attention was always on him, and it took a few seconds before he responded after hearing the words of Road to Hades. "Is...is it?" She whispered, "Then why didn't I..."

"I saw you here, so I left." Road to Hades said in a natural tone.

Peach tea choked. "I'll just pretend that you don't want to bother me." She mumbled, and turned to Lu You before Road to Hades could say something poignant like "I don't want to be disturbed by you". "Xiao Chen?" She asked tentatively, "You... are you back to play games?"

Maybe it's her expression, maybe her tone... Lu You keenly caught some subtle abnormality from it.He sank into the water calmly, causing a small wave to surge.When he turned around, the silver-gray fish's tail was slightly out of the water, and the shiny and delicate scales and translucent fan-shaped tail fins flashed past, and then disappeared into the water waves.

Road to Hades frowned imperceptibly, and glanced at Taozicha, who was still looking in that direction with a dazed expression. "You know Yan Chen?" he asked.

"Hmm... his brother and mine are college alumni..." Tao Zicha seemed to be absent-minded, and reacted slowly for a while before saying, "We met in the hospital." Curiosity appeared in her eyes, and she looked towards the mermaid's disappearance Pointing on the water. "That's... the water demon in this lake? This is the first time I've seen it, it looks like Xiao Chen..."

"Really?" Road to Hades looked at her, "Yan Chuan also said so." After a short pause, he asked in a tone that he was afraid that others would not be able to hear that it was an order to drive away: "You came here to see me, what do you want?" ?”

"Can't you come to say hello if you have nothing?" Taozicha glared at him angrily, "Okay, I'm done saying hello, I'll go now, okay..." She glanced at the water again, but she didn't see the mermaid again. Floating up, he hesitated for a while, and then saw that the road to the underworld had no intention of keeping him, so he finally left in a hurry with his mouth shut.

Lu You hid under the trestle bridge, heard the sound of footsteps going away, gently swung his tail, resurfaced silently, and stretched out his hand to poke the road to the underworld.He thought he had achieved the quietest level, but unfortunately, the road to the underworld was not frightened at all. He grabbed his hand as if he had eyes behind him, and circled the index finger and thumb of the other hand. Like a child playing a telescope game, he looked in the direction of Taozicha's departure from the circle.

That was probably a certain skill in the game: a mirror-like reflection flashed in the circle that should only be air.Under Lu You's bewildered gaze, he "tracked" until Taozicha's back left the lake shore and disappeared into the forest, and it lasted for more than ten seconds before he put his hand down thoughtfully.

"She's offline..." He turned to Lu You, "You seem to have scared her."

Lu You puffed up his cheeks angrily, and uttered a slightly sharp voice to him, saying, "I'm not so scary."He sank into the water again in a fit of anger, and swam from the bottom of the trestle to the other side. As soon as he came up, he was caught by the road to the underworld who turned around. "Aren't you happy now?" He said, a smile reappeared on his lips, "Well, leave her alone..."

It doesn't matter if she can't do it, Lu You said in his heart. The "terrible" thing is of course just a joke.The reason Taozicha was surprised was obviously because of the similarity between him and Yan Chen in appearance... Maybe it was also because of the hasty exit.Since "Yan Chen" is likely to be his identity in this world, and he is in a certain abnormal state, Tao Zicha's behavior is particularly suspicious.

But he couldn't speak human words in the game, and he was in that state outside the game.If you can discuss it with Road to Hades, ask him to check it out...

Road to Hades didn't care that the bridge was wet, and sat cross-legged on the edge of the trestle, pinching Lu You's hand with both hands and resting it on his lap.Lu You scratched his palm with his fingertips protruding a little bit, thinking about how to make gestures to convey that kind of complicated intention, or ask him to write it down with a pen and paper...

Road to Hades held his troubled fingers and exerted a little force, as if trying to pull him out of the water.Lu You came back to his senses, and broke free from his grasp again without much effort, a little annoyed that he messed up other people's thinking about important things, so he picked up the lake water and threw it at him.

Road to Hades didn't hide, even though the water dripped on his face, his smile deepened a little.His coat was open, and a small piece of the clothes on his chest was wet, clinging to the skin. Lu You accidentally glanced at it, and then his eyes kept going there as if attracted by a magnet, making him want to let his thoughts It is a bit difficult to go back to the previous question.Road to Hades leaned forward, took a strand of long silver-gray hair that fluttered with the waves into his hand, held it for a while, and began to casually twist the soft hair tail around his fingers.

"A magic potion made by the druids of the elves, which can enable people who do not understand the language and humanoids to communicate smoothly." He looked into Lu You's eyes and said softly, "The next time we meet, I will use it Bring it to you...you can talk to me." He paused, then added: "If you were still here at that time."

Lu You looked at him for a while, then stretched out his hand to grab the strand of hair back from his hand, but in the end, the one who was held changed from the hair to his own hand.The palm of Road to Hades was hot and hot, as if magma was flowing silently under the skin, holding it with a force that would not impose a sense of oppression, revealing a habitual intimacy.

"I'm going offline." He whispered, "The time is coming soon..." His eyes lowered, he seemed to be hesitating, and he continued after a while, "I think, with your state outside, Telling you 'beware of Monster' won't help... but..."

He squeezed Lu You's fingers, closed his eyes suddenly, and took a deep breath. "I don't know what's going on with you. It's sure to make him curious," he murmured. "What will he do to you? I'm really worried..."

At this moment before his words fell, a certain premonition suddenly flashed in Lu You's heart.There is a sign that something is about to happen... Tell him: If you don't do it, it will be too late.He didn't think too much, he obeyed the thrust from his heart that he didn't know where it came from, and he took the palm of the road to the underworld as a fulcrum with one hand, and pressed the edge of the trestle with the other hand, pressed down hard, and propped up his body— —

Amidst the "crash" sound of the calm water surface being broken, Road to Hades opened his eyes, his pupils were as deep as a burning abyss, but because of the subtle surprise contained in it, he approached the human world.The burr edge of the board rubbed against the delicate scales of the waist and abdomen, causing a tingling pain. Lu You ignored it and focused on the warm touch of his lips.

After posting it like this for a few seconds, I found that there was no movement at all, whether it was the bracelet that detects the soul, or the road to the underworld that was kissed unexpectedly on the lips. Lu You hesitated, opened his lips slightly, stuck out the tip of his tongue, and tried Going to be the party that takes the initiative to invade.

Accustomed to accepting plunder, but inexperienced in obtaining it by himself, his movements appeared clumsy and jerky... But in such a short time, he felt the arms supporting his body tremble.

Road to Hades opened his lips and teeth in an obedient gesture, inviting him in. When the tip of his tongue touched lightly, the temperature and breath that wrapped up in the opposite direction made Lu You feel like he had tasted the moist flame.He suddenly felt out of breath, maybe he was robbed of strength by the electric current rushing along his spine, he almost ended the short kiss hastily, and stepped back.

Hades seems to want to lean in and keep kissing him, or reach out and grab him.His fingertips touched the smooth skin somewhere, and the hair that was still silky after being soaked flowed and flowed away from his arms.The merman slid under the water, without looking at him again, twisted his body and sank toward the deep water.The abandoned cloak swirled lightly in the water, and the current carried it far away. The Road to Hades caught it in time and prevented it from drifting away.

The silver-gray hair and tail of the mermaid swayed under the water, just like the reflection on the water surface, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It seemed that it took a long time before Road to Hades made its first move after the mermaid left.He slowly raised his hand, and hesitantly placed it on his lips.There is still a slight moistness and coolness there, as well as a faint sweetness tasted in hallucinations.

It felt better and more familiar than he had imagined.

It's not so much fate...

Fingers off his lips, he stared at the now empty water.

"I forgot... what...?"
