The Old Gods Are Whispering

  Chapter 490 Traces of the Skylark

   Ding Dong.

  As the anti-theft door opened, Gu Jianlin stood at the door with a blank expression, carrying a suitcase.

   "Come in."

  Xia Zhi looked at him secretly. At first, she thought it was the bad guys who came to the door. She was so scared that she took out all the alchemy weapons for self-defense, and they were hiding under her skirt at the moment, just in case.

In fact, she considers herself to be a very scheming girl, with long wet hair hanging loose, and a loose purple casual dress that can set off the curve of her chest. Under the skirt is a pair of long snow-white legs. The lines are slender and smooth, and the jade feet in cork slippers are also beautiful, and the toes are painted with pink nail polish.

  Paired with reddish eyes, it is very pitiful.

   Nothing aggressive.

  No one would have thought that such a soft and cute girl would suddenly take out a dagger from her skirt and stab someone.

   It's just that people didn't expect that it was a tenant who came.

   And he is a very handsome boy.

"Thanks."

  Gu Jianlin politely thanked the girl for coming in, and casually glanced at the girl. Combining the decoration and furniture in the room, he had already sketched a rough personality portrait in his mind. It was not very detailed, but it was enough.

   Difficult, embarrassing, stupid, self-motivated, lack of heart.

  I like to eat snail powder, have dysmenorrhea, have a cat at home, and are keen on online shopping for some IQ-tax skin care products. The biggest entertainment is facing variety shows hahaha, being dumped by a boy I had a crush on not long ago, etc.

   Celestial master path, super-dimensional level four, very average for a twenty-six-year-old.

   In short, she is a girl who is too ordinary to be ordinary.

  Xia Zhi hurriedly poured him a cup of hot water, and then asked him to sit on the sofa first. Just as she was about to sit down, she suddenly heard that indifferent voice.

   "The dagger under the skirt will hit you."

   Gu Jianlin said expressionlessly.

  Xia Zhi's movements froze, two blushes appeared on her cheeks, and she was burning hot.

  But the next moment she fell into an ice cave.

  Because she found that the eyes of the boy opposite seemed to see through her details.

"Most women living alone are potential victims, so it's normal to be vigilant. You don't have to feel embarrassed about it, which is a good thing. But your walking posture is obviously stiff, and an expert can spot it at a glance." Gu Jianlin casually pushed out his certificates and materials, which were all prepared in advance by the shadow department.

  Xia Zhi took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and pretended to take it for a closer look.

   No wonder, it turned out that the front line retreated.

  She looked at the resume and was secretly amazed, especially when she saw the word Ying's family, she realized that the young man opposite him had a prominent status, but she didn't know why she came to share her apartment.

   "I have work to do, so this is a good fit."

   Gu Jianlin said calmly.

  Xia Zhi was stunned: "Are you... a psychic? A divination master?"

  This boy seems to have the ability to read minds.

  Gu Jianlin thought for a while: "Slay ghosts."

  Because everyone in the world knows that he is a god, so when he hides his identity, he usually uses killing ghosts to cover up.

Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment, she knew that it was unreasonable for a person like this to live here, the other party might have some other purpose, which could easily lead to her being implicated, but thinking of the big things that happened recently, the capital city It's about to become a battlefield, and there shouldn't be anything worse than this.

   And the other party paid half a year's rent at once, which is too much.

   Besides, he has a nice voice and looks good.

   Should not be a bad guy.

"I've read the rental contract, I won't cause any trouble, I won't mess up your house, and I won't behave abnormally, but I remember...you promised to arrange three meals?" Gu Jianlin asked calmly road.

"ah."

  Xia Zhi pinched the corner of her skirt: "I made it myself, is that okay?"

  Gu Jianlin hummed: "Where is my room?"

  Xia Zhi hurriedly led him to her room, opened the door and turned on the light.

  Gu Jianlin looked at the pink girly room, and the suspenders and underwear scattered all over the bed, and fell into deep thought.

   "Ah, sorry."

  Xia Zhi quickly bowed and apologized: "I will clean up..."

Gu Jianlin frowned slightly, because he unexpectedly saw a 2D poster in this girl's bedroom, on which was a blood-red ancient dragon that was trying to fly, mandala flowers in full bloom, and a girl in the sea of ​​flowers .

"What's this?"

  He pointed casually.

Xia Zhi opened her beautiful eyes and said, "Skylark, don't you know me? Recently, Buzhou Mountain recovered again, and an unprecedented tragic war broke out. All the Vulcan generals guarding the Pamirs died. Some survivors fled back. In the territory, he drew the beautiful silhouette he saw. The skylark and the unicorn have been merged into the two strongest monsters in the human world, and you don’t know them?”

   What about the agreed line.

  Gu Jianlin was silent for a long time, it turned out that that bad woman was so unattainable in the eyes of the outside world.

   During those days in Tokyo, they often went out for supper together at night. He watched her enjoy the food slowly, and was forced to help her pull up her long hair. After eating, they walked side by side under the street lights, and then went home to sleep.

   "You adore her?"

   he asked casually.

  Xia Zhi stuck out her tongue: "No, I just think she...is pretty? You must not tell the trial court about this, otherwise I may be investigated by them again."

   Gu Jianlin didn't bother to care about these things, so he turned around and left without stopping.

"Change."

   "Eh? You don't live here?"

"dirty."

   "Poof..."

  Xia Zhi became angry from embarrassment. This was the first time she was disliked for being dirty as a girl. However, when she turned to look at her room, although she felt very upset, she had no reason to refute.

  Gu Jianlin had already walked into the study and put down his luggage.

   Until now, he finally understood why the shadow department arranged for him to share the room with this girl.

  Because when Xia Zhi turned around just now, her slightly curly forehead hair shook, exposing a very inconspicuous scar on her forehead, which was obviously applied with scar removal products, but failed to remove it.

  ·

  ·

  That night, Gu Jianlin settled in the study room of this bachelor apartment. His luggage was only a suitcase, and packing it was not too troublesome. He has always been a very simple person.

  Xia Zhi also thoughtfully helped him make the bed, and ensured that the bedding and pillowcases were all washed, probably because he saw that his cleanliness was very serious, and he was afraid that he would have any opinions and asked to return the rent.

   "Do you... have supper?"

   She leaned on the door frame and asked cautiously.

"No."

  Gu Jianlin has already turned on the computer and started studying. With his excellent profiling ability, he will soon be able to understand everything about this college, just like a real student who lived here, pretending to be impeccable.

   "Oh, then... good night."

  Xia Zhi glanced at his tall and straight back facing the computer operation, and quietly retracted his head.

"etc."

  Gu Jianlin suddenly stopped her.

  Xia Zhi poked her head out again, her black hair pouring down like water.

   "That poster in your room, take it down."

  Gu Jianlin stared into her eyes expressionlessly, and paused every word.

  Xia Zhi thought to himself that now that the Tribunal has completely ruled the world of order, it would be a bit rebellious for him to hang up such a poster. If he is found out, he doesn't know how many credits will be deducted, and maybe he will be expelled.

   Unexpectedly, this young man looked indifferent, but he was actually quite kind.

   "I see, thanks."

  She thanked earnestly, turned and went back to her room.

  In fact, Gu Jianlin didn’t mean to remind him out of good intentions. After all, it was impossible for the court to enter the house where he lived. He just simply didn’t want to see everything about that woman. He didn’t even want to look in the mirror when he switched to the path of killing ghosts.

  Furthermore, Youzhu may come to him in a few days.

   While avoiding suspicion, he couldn't let this kind of poster stay in the girl's room.

   In the next room, there was the sound of rustling and tidying up things.

  After Xia Zhi finished her work, she sat down on the soft bed, and began to send WeChat messages to her best friend to complain about her bad luck all day, but she didn't mention that she had an extra roommate, mainly because she was afraid of misunderstanding.

"Mom, I feel pretty good after this week's internship. The leaders treat me very well, my colleagues take good care of me, and my salary is also satisfactory. I will transfer some money to you after a while. Don't always say that it is enough. If you are short of money, you must tell me. Brothers and sisters still have to go to school. Don’t worry too much about my father’s illness. There is a very good professor of Chinese medicine in my school. I will help to see and prescribe some medicines later. It's..."

  She hugged the pillow and rolled on the bed, and sent a voice message to her family.

   Then he opened his memo again, thinking carefully where he could save some more money, when he could squeeze out more time to complete some high-value rewards, and earn more money to send to his family.

   Outside the window, the cicadas are singing and the stars are lonely.

   With a burst of headaches, she fell into a deep sleep again.

  ·

  ·

  The next morning, Xia Zhi lay down on the dining table expectantly, and asked curiously, "Is it delicious?"

  Gu Jianlin held the knife and fork in both hands, and was silent for a moment: "It's not delicious."

  Breakfast is fried eggs and German sausage, with a glass of orange juice.

  Compared to Youzhu, she is far behind.

  Xia Zhi twitched her lips: "How can a mouth of thirty-six degrees spit out such cold words..."

  After a short time together, she also saw the character of this big boy.

  Indifferent, indifferent.

  Like an iceberg, inaccessible.

She forked the fried egg angrily and stuffed it into her mouth, and said vaguely: "Let me tell you, I'm going to go to class soon, so don't mess around. Recently, the Central Spiritual Academy is not peaceful, or the whole magic city is not peaceful." .Three days ago, Her Royal Highness, the princess, declared war on order on behalf of the entire Night Watcher faction."

"Commander Lu in the dawn battle sequence, and the two natural disasters, Qing and Chi, are all on his side. I can understand the King of Green, but what the **** is the King of Red? Isn't he already dead? A scammer?"

She suddenly said mysteriously: "The most important thing is that Her Royal Highness is also supported by Qilin! Hey, do you know Qilin? It is said that he came to Shanghai yesterday and destroyed the Deep Space Technology Building with his own hands! Quite a few Everyone was hospitalized because of his serious injuries, and he is still lying in the emergency room. The Deep Space Forum has exploded. I hope this kind of thing will not affect me, otherwise my studies this year may be ruined..."

  Gu Jianlin looked at her with pity, thinking that you might be disappointed.

   "However, someone took a photo of the unicorn yesterday, which is really shocking."

  Xia Zhi chirped: "Do you want to watch it?"

  Gu Jianlin said flatly, "You look very excited."

Xia Zhi couldn't tell outsiders that he didn't like the courtroom, so he stuck out his tongue and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, you came back from the frontline battlefield, so you've been to the Qilin Fairy Palace, right? Have you ever seen a Qilin? "

  Gu Jianlin hummed.

  Xia Zhi opened her beautiful eyes wide: "Is it really as handsome as in the photo?"

  Gu Jianlin was not very good at answering this question, so he ignored her.

  Xia Zhi asked curiously: "Is he really an ancient god?"

  Gu Jianlin thought for a while: "Probably not."

  Xia Zhi actually showed a disappointed expression, drinking milk and said: "It's a pity, if it is really an ancient god, how cool it would be. Isn't the trial court spreading rumors? No merit."

  Gu Jianlin raised his eyebrows, this girl's hobbies are a bit curious.

  Xia Zhi narrowed her eyes again and asked, "Has Qilin fallen in love? Is Lei Ting her girlfriend? Or is that Yue Ji from the Dark World her girlfriend? I heard they fought."

  Gu Jianlin was speechless for a while: "Are you usually gossip like this?"

  Xia Zhi bulged her cheeks: "I'm just curious."

   “Curiosity kills.”

  Gu Jianlin raised his eyes and glanced at her.

   Well, this girl is sick, even if she is not curious, she may not live long.

  It can be seen from the rhythm of life, but she doesn't seem to be aware of it, thinking that taking medicine can solve it.

  Xia Zhi is taking medicine now, taking a few small pills after breakfast, as if it has become a daily routine.

   "I'm going to class."

   She took the medicine as if full of energy, and asked casually: "By the way, which department do you choose?"

  Gu Jianlin calmly replied: "Department of Alchemy and Archeology."

  The so-called Department of Alchemy and Archaeology is dedicated to the study of the development history of this technology, and does not involve practical operations.

  Xia Zhi was taken aback for a moment: "Hey, are you majoring in me?"

   At this moment, she was thinking a lot.

  Because many wealthy boys in the college will choose this way to deliberately approach girls when they are pursuing girls, and then create a lot of coincidences, and finally achieve the purpose of pushing them down and going to bed.

   Could it be that such a thing also fell on her head.

   Gu Jianlin didn't bother to guess what the girl was thinking, because she was just a living clue.

  The arrangements of the shadow department are all meaningful.

  Because of the ancestors who got married, they often come to the Department of Alchemy and Archaeology as a guest professor to give lectures.

This is a good opportunity.

   "Then you want to go to class with me?"

  Xia Zhi sent out an invitation on a rare occasion, and took a sneak peek at her: "Recently, the Department of Alchemy and Archeology transferred a beautiful professor. Many male students are crazy. If you don't go early, you won't even be able to get a seat."

"who?"

  Gu Jianlin frowned, because he was worried that this person would affect his plan.

   "It seems to be called Ye Ni?"

  Xia Zhi took out a photo from her phone and handed it to him.

  Gu Jianlin drank the orange juice and glanced casually.

   However, in an instant, his hand holding the glass trembled, and the orange juice spilled out.

   "Oh, what are you doing?"

  Xia Zhi quickly picked up a tissue and wiped the table.

  Gu Jianlin's expression darkened slightly, because he saw a monstrous mandala flower on the woman's wrist.
