Lin Yuan had a very absurd dream. The dream was very beautiful, like a fairy tale he had read when he was a child.

Although she no longer remembers whether she read those books when she was a child, there are still many picture books about princesses, princes, knights and dragons in her room.

The house was filled with those colorful picture books and numerous dolls and wind chimes.

When she slept in that room, she always felt that she might have been a loved little girl when she was young.

Lin Yuan saw the blue sky and the sea in his dream. The clouds in the sky were actually white, like milky white marshmallows.

On the golden beach by the sea, there lies a mermaid.

Lin Yuan thought, I know this story. The little mermaid turned her tail into legs, walked onto the beach despite the severe pain, and got closer to the prince. But in the end, it didn't have a good ending. Her lover ran away with another princess, and the mermaid tragically turned into bubbles in the water.

Only when he got closer did Lin Yuan realize that this was not a mermaid.

The back lying on the beach with his back to her was very familiar. The lines of the shoulders were very beautiful, with smooth lines going all the way down and suddenly tightening at a certain point.

The skin on its back was stained with yellow sand and covered with scars of varying sizes, but it did not look ugly, but rather full of a wild and aggressive power.

Lin Yuan searched his mind and found a suitable adjective, that word is sexy.

She began to admire herself for being able to use such complex vocabulary so accurately.

Lin Yuan was confused and found that his hand had pressed on the man's shoulder just like last time. There was a long scar there, running diagonally downward across the protruding shoulder blade.

When the fingers touched there, the person lying on the beach trembled slightly.

Lin Yuan didn't turn him over like last time.

In her dream she realized who this man was. This time he was not dying, but lying alive in front of her.

He was a very strong warrior, brave and fearless, but also kind-hearted. Although he was in such a naked state, Lin Yuan thought that he should still respect him.

"It hurts so much." The man said softly, with his back to her. He didn't turn around, so she couldn't see his face clearly.

"It hurts. It hurts so much. It hurts so much." He said this over and over again.

His legs were soaked in sea water, with severe wounds on his calves, almost exposing his bones, which was shocking.

Lin Yuan subconsciously reached out, grasped the ankles, and gently stroked the wounds.

"It hurts so much. It hurts so much." The individual's voice kept repeating.

Lin Yuan stroked it again and again. She had never been so patient and meticulous.

Tight arches, convex ankles, and flexible Achilles tendons.

Where her fingertips passed, Yue Ji and Yue Fu under her trembled slightly with her movements. Lin Yuan knew that she had to restrain herself, but she also liked this feeling a little.

"It hurts." The man was still whispering. The voice gradually became quieter. He finally didn't feel any pain anymore.

The men under him became paralyzed.

Lin Yuan knew what a powerful warrior he was. He could leap up a wall tens of meters high with one leap, and he could chop off a group of monsters with a single strike of his sword.

But now he was limp in his own hands, a puddle of water, emitting some "unclear" whale noises.

Lin Yuan suddenly woke up from his dream.

She has trouble sleeping and often has some messy dreams. Sometimes it's a fire, sometimes it's an avalanche. Today's dream is a bit absurd.

It was still early in the morning when they arrived at the clinic, but she slept until late at night.

The lights in the clinic were dimmed. The sentry closed his eyes and floated quietly in the emerald green treatment cabin.

Lin Yuan sat on the sofa, woke up, and recalled the ridiculous dream.

The ground at my feet was dimly lit and empty. There was no one lying there like in my dream.

Only one tentacle had appeared out at some point and was hanging there, its skin was moist and it looked very satisfied.

Seeing Lin Yuan's inquiring gaze, it shrank back into the dimensional space with guilt as if it had stolen something.

Thinking of food, Lin Yuan immediately felt extremely hungry. She had slept for a whole day and was starving. She put that absurd dream and those messy thoughts behind her and went out to look for food.

Doctor? When he came in, the sentry in the treatment cabin had already opened the cabin cover and sat up from inside.

The doctor checked his various physical data and was very satisfied. "I said, this machine of mine can cure any patient as long as they lie down in it."

"Excuse me." The sentry sitting in the green healing fluid whispered, "Please find me a set of clothes."

"No hurry, no hurry," the doctor was still excited. It was rare for him to take on such a big business.

After using so many expensive medicines, I want to take a closer look at the effects of those medicines that people usually don't want to use.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I've seen many patients' bodies before." The doctor waved his hand carelessly, "When that girl brought you in, you had nothing on you but a small piece of clothing..."

Before he could finish his words, he shuddered for no apparent reason.

It is pressure, pressure coming from the sentinel's mental power.

The doctor was both angry and amused. This was the first time he saw a patient who had just crawled out of the hospital bed dare to use intimidation against him.

Just to get a piece of clothing to put on as soon as possible.

Doctor? I had to find a set of clothes for Ni Ji.

A very ordinary T-shirt and shorts worn on the sentinel's broad shoulders, long legs and explosive body surprisingly give him a trendy look.

"Who is that person to you?" The doctor couldn't help but ask Ni Ji quietly, "You two must be very close friends, right? She is so kind to you, willing to spend so much money to save your life."

Ni Ji did not answer. He did not want to say that it had only been two days since he and Lin Yuan officially spoke their first words to each other.

Their relationship was very superficial, but I already owed her so much?

"You may not understand at a young age that money, a material thing, can best reveal a person's true heart at certain critical moments."

Doctor, I've been here for a long time and have seen all kinds of people who show their true colors in front of money.

Sometimes, when a sentry was lying in the treatment chamber, dying, his so-called brothers outside would tell him not to meddle in other people's business.

The middle-aged doctor printed out the receipt and handed it to Ni Ji, "Treasure her, such a friend is rare. She did not hesitate when transferring the money and was willing to use only the best medicine."

He saw the young sentry holding the thin ticket between his fingers and looking at it for a long time.

Standing there, he finally said softly, "I will return it to her."

"It's best if you can pay it back," the doctor said as he put away the various instruments and medicines on the table. "The most frightening thing in life is to have a debt you can't pay back."

The middle-aged man looked at the tall and thin young sentry beside him, patted his chest with his hand, and made a cheeky joke.

"It's okay, Chief? He's so handsome, maybe he'll agree if I offer him my body as compensation."

"Agree to what?" Lin Yuan's head popped out from the door at this time, holding a bunch of various foods in his arms and a soft and sticky mochi in his mouth.

When she saw Ni Ji coming out, she gave the food in her arms to Ni Ji.

Most of the things she held were sweets. Ni Ji guessed her preference and only took away the least sweet cake.

"The food here isn't very tasty." Lin Yuan swallowed the mochi and opened a pack of soda candy. The taste of saccharin was very strong. She ate it expressionlessly. "I still like the kind wrapped in red paper."

"If you like candy, there's none here." Ni Ji bit the biscuit Lin Yuan gave him and said, "But I know where to find it. I'll find it and bring it to you when you return to Kyoto."

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up and he licked his lips lightly with the tip of his tongue.

Ni Ji smiled in her heart. She liked sweets, especially those made by hand using traditional methods.

Two people came out of the clinic and walked in the dimly lit alley.

It rained not long ago, and the ground was a little damp, with puddles of rainwater.

Ni Ji was wearing a short T-shirt and shorts, revealing a pair of long legs in the cool autumn weather, but he didn't care at all. His half-dry wet hair hung down, softening the sharpness unique to a sentry.

Lin Yuan was holding a pile of food and walking side by side with him, his cheeks puffed up as he munched on the candy.

This style is too common, making people's hearts soften along with the night breeze.

It seemed as if those thrilling scenes, the bloody storm, the twisted monsters, and the dark hands that covered the sky were just a nightmare from another world.

It was as if I could temporarily forget the blood and hatred that burned my body day and night, and the fire and fog that lingered forever in my heart.

Relax and just take a slow walk with a good friend with whom you have a tacit understanding.

Show your wrist and add each other's personal terminal. Eat food together and talk about where the candy is sweeter.

However, this street is too short, and the road soon reaches the end.

A jeep stopped at the street corner. Shen Fei, Xiao Mu and others who were at the Dongbin sentry post jumped out of the jeep.

Xiao Mu brought back the injured sentinels and learned that Lin Yuan was still trapped in the contaminated area. They set out from Dongbin again and came all the way to look for Lin Yuan.

"Great, great, Director Lin, you're fine." Shen Fei, the sentry leader of Dongbin, saw Lin Yuan, ran over, held Lin Yuan's hands tightly, and shook them back and forth, "What did I say? Director Lin will definitely be fine."

If Lin Yuan wasn't a guide, he almost wanted to give her a big hug.

"Sister Xiao Yuan," Xiao Mu only called out her name before his voice became choked with sobs. He lowered his head to wipe away his tears.

"Outside the exit is the sea. I can't wait for you on the sea, so I have to send Brother Dahu and the others back first. You haven't come back for so long, I thought those words you said were just to coax me."

A young lion appeared at Lin Yuan's feet and rubbed his legs affectionately. It was the spirit body of Sentinel Rachel.

At that time, the spirit body that Lin Yuan pulled out of the sea was small and weak. Now it looked much stronger and bigger, with a beautiful coat of golden fur.

"Oh, why did you come out too?" Lin Yuan touched the little lion's golden head.

The last sentry got off the back seat of the jeep. He was tall, with soft blond hair tied into a braid at the back, and deep blue eyes the same color as the sky.

When he saw Lin Yuan, he put one hand on his chest, bent down and performed a very unique salute.

"This is their family's traditional etiquette, and it is only for the people they are most grateful to." Shen Fei and Lin Yuan introduced the situation.

"After Rachel woke up, she heard that something happened to you and insisted on coming with us to look for you."

"Actually, everyone wants to come and see you. Little Bird just woke up and struggled to roll off the bed, but I held him down." Shen Fei smiled, "I told you, you will be fine."

Lin Yuan felt happy that the sentry who was tied to the hospital bed and was on the verge of death a few days ago recovered so quickly after his mental counseling.

It has even reached the point where one can carry the spiritual body with him when traveling.

She had always lacked confidence in her spiritual counseling, and this was the first time she found confidence.

"You recovered quickly." Lin Yuan said to Rachel.

Rachel walked forward. He was a very gentle man. His light blue eyes stared at Lin Yuan, filled with sincere gratitude and joy.

"I still remember it. I remember you brought me back from the abyss."

"Luckily, nothing happened to you."

Lin Yuan asked about the conditions of Xiao Niao, Da Hu and others, and learned that they had all received timely treatment and were out of danger.

Shen Fei and others asked Lin Yuan what happened and how he escaped from danger.

After experiencing the hardships of life and death, I met my friends again. We chatted with each other and were very lively. We walked to the car while talking.

Lin Yuan suddenly remembered that he had left Ni Ji behind. When he turned around, he saw Ni Ji alone, still standing at the street corner where they had just walked.

"Do you want to go to Dongbin with me?" Lin Yuan asked.

There were many friends standing around her, it was lively and noisy.

"No." Ni Ji stood alone at the entrance of the alley. The white street lights shone obliquely on his shoulders, making his thin body look a little deserted.

"See you when we get back to Kyoto." His voice was the same as before, gentle and calm.

【The little fish seems very lost】

[Does he have anything else to say?]

[You shouldn't have touched that kitten]

[I felt that he was deeply concerned about something, perhaps it was related to money.]

"Oh, yes. I forgot." Lin Yuan patted his head and called out to Ni Ji who was about to leave.

Ni Ji turned around and looked at her, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"I'm still short of money for your team. 50 Imperial Coins per person, right?" Lin Yuan opened his personal terminal.

【Ah, he is even sadder. 】

What did you do to make him so sad?

[You don’t understand, he actually can’t bear to leave me] said one of the tentacle.
