[Interstellar] Reborn Mermaid Beast Tamer

Half a month later, on the rest day, the children in the orphanage seemed a little restless from the morning, because there was definite news that the rumored wealthy businessman would come to the yard today to select candidates, and there was indeed a high-end car in the morning The suspension car drove into the orphanage.

The children who wanted to be elected took great pains to dress themselves up, looking forward to the direction of the teacher's office building.

But at noon, no teacher came to announce any news.

At this moment, Shen Ling, who was drowsy, opened his eyes and sat up. The nerve tearing pain made him frowned, and he squeezed and pressed his fingers on the temple for a long time before he woke up a little bit.

He remembered that when he went back to the dormitory yesterday, Anwen told him that yesterday was his birthday and he wanted to celebrate in the dormitory.Shen Ling has never had a birthday, but he also knows that on his birthday, he has to eat cake and blow out candles.Perhaps because she was curious about how to celebrate her birthday, Shen Ling also helped Anwen get busy with the preparations.

They pulled a table and put a small cake on it. Xiao Yan brought a bottle of dark red grape juice from somewhere, and the three drank it sullenly.

The grape juice was not very tasty, it was a bit sour and astringent, but the atmosphere was so good that even Xiao Yan, who usually looks hideous, felt cute today, so after An Wen and Xiao Yan persuaded Next, Shen Ling drank a lot.

Shen Ling couldn't remember what happened afterwards.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Shen Ling looked down at his neck, and then he found that his jadeite pendant necklace was gone!

For the past five years, he has always carried this necklace with him.Because he was afraid of being noticed, he always hid the pendant in his clothes, and he never took it off even when he took a shower.He usually sleeps lightly, and he will definitely notice someone approaching him.And after drinking that strange fruit juice yesterday, he fell asleep and fell asleep. The pendant should have been stolen when he fell asleep yesterday!

Shen Ling thought of An Wen, who had been acting strangely last night, and Xiao Yan, who was overly attentive.

The taste of conspiracy is almost ready to come out.

Shen Ling didn't even have time to change his clothes, got out of bed, put on his shoes and ran out of the dormitory.He grabbed the first orphan he saw and asked anxiously, "Did you see An Wen and Xiao Yan?"

"I saw Xiao Yan just now, and he seemed to be heading towards the teacher's office building."

Shen Ling felt something was wrong, and hurried to the teacher's office building.

When he ran to the third floor and looked into the corridor, he saw Xiao Yan standing at the door of the principal's office, making a look like he wanted to knock but was hesitating.

"Xiao Yan!" Shen Ling yelled and rushed up.

Xiao Yan's expression changed, he turned his head and beat the door of the principal's office vigorously and shouted: "Principal, I have something to report to you. Shen Ling is a thief. He stole a necklace."

Shen Ling rushed over and grabbed Xiao Yan's arm, and yelled at him, "You're talking nonsense, give me back the necklace!"

Xiao Yan shrank back into the crack of the door in fear, screaming and shouting: "Help, this lunatic is going to kill again!"

At this time, the door of the principal's office opened, and Xiao Yan, who was leaning against the door, lost his balance and fell to the floor of the principal's room.

"What do you look like making trouble here?" It was the principal himself who opened the door, and he yelled at the two of them coldly, "Go aside, don't make noise here."

"Principal, I'm here to report to you that Shen Ling is a thief." Xiao Yan said as he took out a dragon-shaped emerald pendant necklace from his pocket and held it up, "Shen Ling stole this necklace!"

The principal glanced at the necklace casually, thinking that it was just a broken glass pendant. He was about to scold Xiao Yan when the eyes of the tall man standing behind him and wearing a luxurious fur suddenly lit up. He walked out in two steps, and roughly snatched the jade pendant necklace from Xiao Yan's hand.

"That's mine!" Shen Ling roared, and rushed to snatch the necklace back, but was pushed out by the tall man and fell to the ground.The strength of this bear-like man was as terrifying as his size.

"This is mine." The tall fur man put the pendant on his thick neck, squinted his eyes and smiled at Xiao Yan who fell on the ground, "Thank you for helping me return the necklace, what's your name. "

Xiao Yan's heart beat fast, and he shouted out his name excitedly: "My name is Xiao Yan!"

"Give it back to me!" The furious Shen Ling stood up and rushed forward again.

Xiong Nan pushed Shen Ling away again impatiently, and said to Principal Taylor: "Principal, do you need to call the security guard?"

The principal persuaded Shen Ling with a little embarrassment: "Shen Ling, if you like it, can I ask someone to buy you some, this pendant belongs to Mr. Armand, just return it to him."

"Principal, this necklace is mine! I had it before I came to the orphanage!" Shen Ling argued anxiously.

Xiao Yan blushed and argued: "Nonsense, how could you have this kind of pendant, you stole it!"

"Principal, the children in your orphanage are too dishonest, and they still argue when the facts are in front of them." Xiong Nan shrugged and sighed in disappointment, "It seems that the investment in your orphanage may be reduced. "

Principal Taylor's expression changed, and he immediately took out his personal brain and called the security room.

After a while of confusion, the security guards in the yard came over and arrested Shen Ling and locked him in an empty room in the teacher's office building. It was not until three days later that the rich businessman from Camilla left with An Wen and Xiao Yan. , Shen Ling was released.

After being released, Shen Ling was very calm. He still lived a monotonous life in basic schools and orphanages every day as usual.

But the other children in the orphanage are more afraid of Shen Ling than before. As long as these sensitive children get close to Shen Ling, they can feel the faint dangerous aura emanating from him.

Life in the orphanage remained the same, but what everyone didn't expect was that Anwen was sent back two months later.

The reason is theft.

The teachers in the orphanage didn't believe that Anwen would do such a thing. Anwen had always been a smart and sensible boy, and it was impossible for him to do such a stupid behavior.

But the wealthy businessman's words were convincing, and the orphanage had no choice but to accept Anwen again.

After Shen Ling came back from basic school, she saw Anwen sitting on the bare bed in the dormitory.

He almost didn't recognize An Wen.

In just two short months, An Wen seemed to have changed his appearance, becoming very thin.He has dark circles under his eyes and looks haggard. He is a young man in his prime, but at this moment he looks more like an old man in his twilight years.

In the past two months, although Shen Ling didn't say anything, he hated An Wen very much in his heart.But seeing An Wen like this at this time, Shen Ling couldn't express the hatred in his heart at all.

Shen Ling didn't talk to An Wen, but just treated him as a transparent person, doing his own thing.

"I've always felt that as an orphan, I just need to be well-behaved and sensible, and protect myself well..." An Wen said quietly, and he didn't know if he said this to himself or to Shen Ling.He raised his head, looked out of the window, and suddenly sneered, "This world is really not fair at all. Some people can live a good life because they have good parents; Orc blood can get a chance to rise to the top; even orphans, as long as they are born on a rich and developed planet, they can live a better life than our current life. Ordinary orphans like us living on this impoverished planet, only It’s really sad to be able to keep struggling to live, even if you are sold by the orphanage, you can’t say anything.”

After Anwen's voice fell, the room immediately fell into a strange silence.

Shen Ling, who had packed up his things and was about to read, also stopped looking for textbooks, and looked up at An Wen, who was like a ghost.

After a long silence, Shen Ling suddenly said: "It's not fair." He sat on his chair, took out the textbooks and spread them out on the desk. "If you've ever been to the Alphabet D galaxy, you probably don't think the injustice here is a big deal."

Anwen asked with a wry smile, "Have you been there?"

"Where did I come from." Shen Ling froze for a moment, remembering what Neil had said to him.He came from the letter D galaxy, and he knew how poor and backward that galaxy was. Compared with that galaxy, Aquamarine is more than twice as good.If he was still on planet D13, he would never have the opportunity to study like he does now, and he would never have the dream of being admitted to the highest institution of the empire. "Thinking back now, I suddenly realize that life here is pretty good, at least... at least as long as I work hard, I will have the opportunity to leave here, go to the main star of Camilla by my own strength, and take what belongs to me with my own strength. return."

Anwen looked at Shen Ling with a smile for a long time, then suddenly stood up as if he was relieved, and said freely, "You're right, I'm to blame for what I've become today, no wonder this world." He walked to Shen Ling, whispered Said three words to him "I'm sorry."

Whether in the minds of the orphanage teachers or the children, Anwen is an out-and-out good person.But only he himself knows best, he is not a good person, he tries his best to do everything well, but he just hopes that everyone will like him.

When a person wears a mask for a long time, he often forgets whether he is wearing a mask or not.

After knowing that Shen Ling might awaken his soul power, he didn't care on the surface, but in fact he was as jealous of Shen Ling as all the children.There was no need for him to agree to Xiao Yan to do all this, but in the end he did it against his conscience.

But the final result turned out to be a cocoon.

……

Shen Ling's heart trembled, he turned his head to look at Anwen, and when his eyes met Anwen's sad eyes, he suddenly understood something.He reached out and grabbed Anwen's arm, opened his mouth slightly, but said nothing.

An Wen smiled and broke Shen Ling's hand away, and said, "I have something to do, so I'm going out first."

"Anwen!" Shen Ling stopped him, "I don't blame you..."

"Thank you." Anwen kept his usual gentle smile on his face, then he turned and left the 503 dormitory, never to return.

A few days later, someone found Anwen's swollen body on the beach.

Teacher Helen went to collect Anwen's body, but there was almost no movement. The teachers of the orphanage buried Anwen on the hillside behind the orphanage.

This afternoon, Shen Ling walked to the edge of the beach and sat under a coconut tree for a long time.Fatty found out that his master was in a bad mood, so he climbed onto his head and accompanied him in a bad mood.

"Are you waiting for me?" Hidden Cat, who had been hiding here for a long time, finally couldn't help asking.

Shen Ling also responded to Hidden Cat in her mind, "You have been with me for five years, and I have always wanted to ask you, can you help me?"

Hidden Cat was silent for a moment, then replied very positively, "Yes."

"Then are you willing to help me?" Shen Ling asked with a smile.

"As long as you can help me send my master's remains back to his hometown in the future, I am willing to become your soul beast when you come of age."

"Where is your master's hometown?"

"In another time and space, only mermaids can go to that place."

"You don't have to be my soul beast."

"?"

"As long as you help me, I will do my best to help you."

Hidden Cat looked at the boy in front of him with a complicated expression, and it found that the boy in front of him was more mature and smarter than the fragile child when he first met five years ago.It is relieved that at least its five-year wait has not been in vain.

"You can call me Gray," Hidden Cat said, "I will teach you everything I know. But the first lesson you have to learn now is that as a mermaid, you must know how to make yourself inconspicuous, hidden In the crowd."
