Soul echo

Chapter 63 Sweet Dreams ([-])

Time came to the night quietly, and the houses on both sides of the street were not lit with candles. In such a big city, there were only a few places with lights left.

Thick clouds covered the moonlight, and the sad evening wind swept across the street. In the silence, Zhong Ye walked into the door leading to the noise.

Even at night, the Adventurer's House was still noisy. The receptionist on the night shift yawned and watched the group of adventurers drinking and wrestling their arms boredly, not knowing where they got so much energy.

The number of adventurers has decreased a lot. Some people have a mission tomorrow, so they have to rest early. Some people are drunk and go to bed early, and not everyone can play so late. Now the people in the hall Most of the adventurers just woke up not long ago.

Walking into the reception hall, Zhong Ye saw Lilian sitting obediently in the corner at a glance. She seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

When she found Zhong Ye, the girl was overjoyed and stood up abruptly, "Teacher!"

Zhong Ye smiled at her, beckoned her to come over, then walked to the front desk and asked the receptionist to help her check in.

Several receptionists showed expressions of surprise, and looked at the girl standing behind Zhong Ye in disbelief.

"Lilian, you..."

In the past month, Lilian often came to the Adventurer's House to do odd jobs, and the receptionists basically knew her.

"She is my student." Zhong Ye said concisely.

"student……"

The receptionists had complicated expressions, but they didn't gossip in front of Zhong Ye and Lilian, and quickly completed the registration.

Zhong Ye threw the key to Lilian, "Although you are in the Adventurer's House, you must be careful. If it is not me or someone you know who knocks, don't open the door."

As he spoke, he glanced at the adventurers, and it was self-evident who he was talking about.

A few adventurers were swept away by Zhong Ye's gaze, and immediately shuddered, and hurriedly lowered their heads with a smile. No matter what thoughts they had before, they have now disappeared.

Zhong Ye sent Lilian back to the room and stood in front of the door. Seeing the girl's lips parted slightly, she seemed to have something to say, so she interrupted: "Is there anything to talk about until tomorrow, you need to have a good rest, go early Sleep, I will come to you for morning exercises tomorrow morning."

Lilian blinked her eyes and nodded obediently, "Okay..."

For some reason, she always felt that Zhong Ye could be trusted, and she felt safe by Zhong Ye's side.

She thought that the only person in the world who could give her this feeling was her mother, but now there is an extra game NPC...

After hearing the "click" sound of the door lock, Zhong Ye returned to his room.

Lying on the bed, Lilian set up the trusteeship, said good night to the audience, reluctantly condensed her thoughts on the exit button, and returned to reality.

The strength that runs through the whole body is no longer there, only the muscles that are shrinking.

Lilian raised her hand with difficulty and took off the game helmet.

Then he opened his eyes, stared blankly at the empty ceiling, and suddenly laughed.

"……Good night."

…………

The next day, when Lilian went online, she found herself in the training ground. It was here that she got the job of 'swordsman'.

Before she had time to miss and wonder, the feeling of sore muscles came from her limbs, causing her expression to twist instantly.

"The breathing rhythm is out of order."

A faint voice came from beside her, and Lilian turned her head to see Zhong Ye sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, his mouth and nose emitting mist, making the audience who just entered the live broadcast room call him cool.

Lilian panicked for a moment, hurriedly opened the hosting panel, and found that they had been exercising for three hours.

The time of "Echo of Soul" is synchronized with the earth, and the time in Westland is European time. Three hours ago... the sun hasn't risen yet!
After looking through the trusteeship information, I found that using [breath adjustment] can speed up the recovery of the body, so Lilian hurriedly used it.

After using [Breath Adjustment], the breathing rhythm quickly calmed down. I don't know if it was her illusion, but it always felt like there was a heat flowing through her body.

The flustered emotions have also recovered, and the mind has become clear. If you can study in this state, you may be able to greatly improve your learning efficiency.

Not everyone was interested in the live broadcast of two people sitting in place, motionless. When Lilian didn't notice, a large number of viewers were lost.

After an unknown amount of time, Lilian felt a slap on the head, opened her eyes in confusion, and saw a piece of pancake appearing in front of her eyes.

It was the food brought by Zhong Ye. The girl turned her head and looked over, and saw her teacher was eating at an extremely fast speed.

At this time, Lilian also found that her hunger level had dropped to the yellow line, so she took the pancakes and began to eat them in small bites.

Putting the last piece of meat into his mouth, Zhong Ye picked up the bread again, and asked while eating, "After you went to inquire yesterday, did you gain anything?"

Lilian didn't react immediately, but when Zhong Ye asked, related things began to emerge in her mind one by one.

"...There are many sneaky people in the slums of Belgrade, and thieves also like to gather there." The girl lowered her head in frustration, "I only found out about this..."

Although there were many viewers who gave her advice at the time, but her speech was frustrating, coupled with her immature appearance, not many people were willing to answer her questions-but the things she inquired about were not almost common sense?

"enough."

Zhong Ye quickly finished the food on his hands, hooked back, and threw the big sword on the ground to his shoulder.

Reach out to Lilian and pull her up.

After returning the training equipment to the management office, Zhong Ye asked Lilian to lead the way to the slums.

Brick houses, wooden houses, and thatched houses are simply piled together without planning.

Houses of different heights and shapes, dilapidated streets and alleys, and people wandering on the streets jointly write "poverty".

Even if Belgrade already owns a few factories, the people will not become rich out of thin air. People with handicapped limbs, people with diseases, and people who have lost their property and jobs due to various reasons, they Living in this urban area, he was labeled as 'lowly'.

Because of chaos and disorder, most of the people who grew up here grew up with fighting and stealing, and raised many grumpy children.

Factories would rather recruit 'hillies' than hire people from the slums.

The gap between rich and poor in other urban areas and slums gradually widened, but the greater the gap between rich and poor, the more people in other urban areas looked down on slums, and a vicious circle began.

Lilian followed Zhong Ye timidly, carefully avoiding the filth on the street.

Her birthplace was Belgrade, but she only visited the slums once.

She was born in the early 22nd century, and she has only seen such a miserable scene on the Internet.

The skinny homeless person lay on the side of the street, dead at unknown time, in stark contrast to the strong gangsters passing by, and there were still bloodstains from last night's fight on their way forward.

Many people on the street looked at the two of them with unscrupulous eyes. Lilian watched a strong man walking towards them, and then... was grabbed by the neck by Zhong Ye.

Zhong Ye glanced away, and everyone turned their gazes away, ignoring them.

"Tell me, where is your gang?"

As he said that, Zhong Ye let go of his palm. The strong man backed away in a panic, coughed a few times, and touched his neck with lingering fear. Lilian could see that a red palm print had been left on his neck.

Glancing at Zhong Ye, the strong man took half a step back, with a smile on his face, he was about to speak to distract the man in front of him, but he said coldly: "If you dare to run, I will kill you here, anyway I'm just here to find someone, not necessarily your gang."

The calf muscles tensed instantly, and the strong man shrank his neck and said with an apologetic smile, "What are you talking about, I'll take you there..."

He grew up in a slum since he was a child, and he can tell whether a person is cruel or has the courage to do so. Unfortunately, the man in front of him belongs to the latter...

The strong man led Zhong Ye and Lilian to their gang's stronghold in a desperate manner, which was a dilapidated warehouse.

Zhong Ye moved his ears and heard the commotion in the warehouse. He untied the moonlight and handed it to Lilian. She asked her to wait at the door, and then dragged the strong man into the warehouse.

Lilian didn't listen to the urging of the barrage, disobeyed Zhong Ye's order, and stood at the door of the warehouse with a heavy sword in her arms, listening to the movement inside.

Not long after Zhong Ye walked in, there was a sudden scream, which startled Lilian.

Afterwards, there were constant cries of pain, which lasted for quite a while.

It wasn't until the voice of "Come in" came out that the girl dragged her big sword and walked in.

Then, she and the audience saw a shocking scene of at least a dozen men lying on the ground screaming in pain.

Zhong Ye was sitting on a wooden box. A middle-aged man who looked like a gang leader knelt in front of him in fear. When he looked up, those stern eyes met the girl's pupils, making her subconsciously hold her breath. .

——【So handsome! ! 】

--【Oh My God!I don't think I can fall in love with anyone else anymore! 】

——[I declare that from today onwards, Zhong Ye will be my husband! 】

……really.

Holding the big sword tightly, Lilian swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

very handsome!
