Lin Yuan saw Ni Ji running towards him.

A neat sound rolled through my heart.

Ah, fish.

[It's a small fish]

【Little fish, little fish, little fish...】

【Woo woo】

[He also ran with ?]

【He is so cute】

【I'm so excited】

[I really want to catch him]

Ni Ji ran so fast that Lin Yuan felt like he wanted to rush over and hug her.

But he stopped at the last moment and paused at a polite distance.

He stood there, looking Lin Yuan up and down for a long time, and finally reached out and gently touched the wound on Lin Yuan's face where the bandage was.

"How did you get hurt?" he said, his voice was dry and hoarse, totally different from his usual gentle voice.

The movements were very restrained, only using the thumb to touch very lightly through the dressing.

Lin Yuan felt his face itchy, as if being touched by the fine leaves on the branches.

The hand that Ni Ji used to touch Lin Yuan was not wearing a glove, and was covered with dried blood scabs and exposed scars, which were much more serious than the scratch on Lin Yuan's face.

He stared at Lin Yuan with sad eyes, as if he was a man who had never seen blood, but could be saddened by such a small injury?

Lin Yuan felt happy to meet familiar friends in such a dangerous place.

She was originally a person of few words, but now she couldn't help but want to say a few more words.

The two of them hid in an empty house and exchanged their experiences and information since entering the house.

During the day, all lights and voices in the houses along the street disappeared, and the streets became empty houses with no one living in them.

Hiding in the house is safer than on the street.

The light in the room was still dim. A little light from outside came in through the drawn blinds, casting interlaced light and shadows on the table by the window.

There was a light mist outside the house, and the world was very quiet, like a cold morning.

The two of them sat at the table by the window. Ni Ji found two cups, washed them, and boiled a pot of hot water in the kitchen here.

He also took out five or six candies of various brands from his pocket and placed them all in front of Lin Yuan.

The conditions were very simple and the two men were in very bad condition, covered in wounds and blood.

Holding a cup of steaming water and only a few scattered candies, you also have to be on guard against the occasional scary monster passing by downstairs.

Lin Yuan, however, remembered the gathering in his own backyard.

If the little fish had come at that time, it might have felt like this.

It was relaxing to sit and talk together.

Lin Yuan released his spiritual body and showed Ni Ji his broken tentacle.

Ni Ji, who was holding a teacup, had a gentle smile on his face. But when he saw the tentacle, the smile on his face froze.

He stared at Lin Yuan's broken tentacle. That look made Lin Yuan feel sad, as if he had not just broken a tentacle, but had suffered some fatal injury.

"It's okay. It will grow back." She couldn't help but give Ni Ji some knowledge about spiritual bodies.

Although it is impossible for this senior sentinel not to know.

Severe injuries may cause the spirit to dissipate, affecting the life of the main body. However, ordinary injuries will still recover little by little over time, but the speed is very slow.

The tentacle that was usually the most unscrupulous groaned, and did not actually move towards Ni Ji.

Maybe he felt that the cross-section of his body was ugly, and he didn't want to appear in front of people, so he shrank back there unhappily.

Ni Ji raised his hand - by this time he had treated the wound and put on the black gloves again - as if he wanted to touch the broken tentacle.

But in the end he didn't touch it, but released the killer whale silently.

The shrunken killer whale was suspended in the air, quietly lying at Lin Yuan's knees.

Lin Yuan sensed the sincerity and restraint in Ni Ji's heart. She didn't quite understand why this sentinel had made himself so entangled.

I didn't object to Ni Ji touching my tentacles.

But he lets himself touch his killer whale, too.

Lin Yuan was delighted and stroked the killer whale's pure black back with his fingers.

The fingertips feel soft and moist. They are smooth and elastic, and the touch is so good that you want to bite your lips.

The little killer whale did not move at her touch, but whimpered softly.

Lin Yuan felt that he, who had been frozen in the cold night, was warmed from the bottom of his heart.

After staying in this strange and cold world for too long, it seems that the human side of myself has faded.

At this moment, curled up under the blinds in the early morning, holding a cup of hot tea with sugar, with a familiar killer whale leaning against his legs, even though he was still in the polluted area, Lin Yuan felt that he had become a normal human being again.

The injured tentacles were no longer polite and climbed up the killer whale's tail with a grunt.

The one with a large section of its tentacle broken off could not crawl smoothly, but it used the remaining suction cups to wriggle hard, clinging to its favorite big fish in a very pretentious manner.

It was injured and aggrieved, humming all the way. It stuck to me, twisted me, drilled me up and down, and rubbed me in various ways.

The big fish closed its eyes and put up with its willfulness without resistance. It even accepted its manipulation when it coiled onto its belly, turning its snow-white belly over in mid-air.

Only one or two quiet whale calls were heard occasionally.

Did the spirits go to the corner to play? Ni Ji turned his head slightly and looked at the street outside the blinds.

Lin Yuan saw long bloodstains on his ears and neck. He must have been in a long and fierce battle.

There was still blood stain on his ears, mouth corners, and hair. Half of his body looked like it had been soaked in blood, and he had never raised his right hand.

"Were you attacked by a mental attack?" Lin Yuan asked him.

Ni Ji looked at her and nodded. He picked up the warm water cup and took a sip to replenish his body with some calories.

In the battle last night, he suffered a severe mental attack, and now his brain felt as if it was being tossed back and forth by red-hot iron nails, causing waves of severe pain.

But it doesn't matter, he thinks everything is getting better.

He found the person he was looking for, and that person was safe and sound.

When the tentacles and the killer whale were acting coquettishly, he was actually very embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Fortunately, the blood on his face concealed his expression.

But he couldn't help but admit that ever since his tentacles touched the killer whale's skin.

The anxious heart in my chest can finally relax.

Lin Yuan crushed a piece of fruit candy in his mouth and ate it quickly while chewing it.

Then he used a piece of hand silk to carefully wipe his hands clean. In the daylight coming in through the window, Lin Yuan raised his clean hands and waved to Ni Ji.

This is the standard gesture a guide uses before giving spiritual counseling to a sentinel.

"To give you spiritual counseling." Lin Yuan said.

She saw a trace of panic in Ni Ji's eyes. The tranquility of the lake was shattered, and her beautiful eyes trembled obviously.

He was a little nervous.

But in the end he leaned forward and put his forehead closer to Lin Yuan's hand.

At this time they were very close, and Lin Yuan realized that Ni Ji's eyes were very beautiful. In the dim light, there was a layered and transparent feeling.

It's like some delicious candy, crystal clear and extra sweet.

"You have such beautiful eyes." Lin Yuan smiled.

The soft palm covered the sentry's eyebrows and eyes, and he felt his eyelashes trembling in his palm several times.

Lin Yuan suddenly remembered that this seemed to be the first time he had formally provided spiritual counseling to Ni Ji.

They didn't meet very often, but she actually thought they were very familiar with each other.

Lin Yuan thought about it and entered Ni Ji's mental picture twice.

The first time they fought, it was she who bullied Ni Ji.

The second time, in order to break out of contaminated area No. 5, she went deep into Ni Ji's mental picture, blocked Ni Ji's sense of pain, and messed up the hormones in his body, which was also considered as doing something bad to him.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that I didn't leave much of a good impression on this sentry.

"Isn't it too dangerous here?" The sentry under her control said with some concern.

But he knew in his heart that if he could have an effective spiritual counseling at this time, it would be very important for his recovery of fighting power.

"It's okay, I will protect you."

He heard the girl say to him.

The huge tentacles confidently surged out from all directions and wrapped up the two people who were very close to each other.

Blocked? All the emotions that the two of them leaked out.

Lin Yuan entered the familiar sea.

The deep blue sea warmly welcomed her, and the moonlight shone into the seabed and followed her. Lin Yuan turned over in the sea, and her tentacles spread out behind her like seaweed.

This is such a comfortable place.

Comfortable, spacious, free and unrestrained, beautiful and gentle, able to bear everything she wants.

The Kraken slowly emerged from the dark depths of the sea.

At the deepest part of the sea, that beautiful underwater garden was ravaged by who knows what. It was scarred and in disarray, with large patches of black dirt that were difficult to remove.

Have strong mental power? The attack hurt him.

What made Lin Yuan most unhappy was that the mysterious palace he had just explored once had lost a corner and several solid pillars collapsed in the impact of the battle, and the beautiful pearls and clam shells were overturned and rolled everywhere.

Giant tentacles appear on the ocean floor.

One by one, they are huge, surging, and full of momentum, ready to work.

One was crawling slowly over the pebbles on the seafloor, picking up broken red corals and replanting uprooted seaweed. It was so busy that it became distracted and started chasing a runaway hermit crab.

The other one dug into the fine sand, trying to sweep away the sticky black negative emotions, but accidentally dug out a red sea cucumber, which glowed when poked. The tentacles shook off the sticky negative emotions hanging on their hands and went to tease the sea cucumber.

There are more tentacles involved in the work than ever before, crisscrossing and wandering in the vast and dark seabed.

Those who were soothing starfish started playing with them. Those who were collecting shells started teasing them to make them splash water. Those who were planting corals started planting corals for some reason. Those who were cleaning up garbage started digging holes...

Work efficiency is lower than ever before.

Lin Yuanyou entered the mysterious palace that she had entered once.

This is where the Sentinels store their memories and emotions, the most private and vulnerable place in their spiritual world.

He opened the door to himself, completely defenseless, and even the killer whales guarding the place remained in the outside world.

Lin Yuan decided to do her best to sort out the palace this time. She was very careful and meticulous at the beginning, sorting out the messed up pearls and repairing the collapsed palace walls.

The ocean is a place with strong self-repair capabilities, so there aren't many accumulated emotions here.

Cheerful sea creatures swim in and out between the fingers of Linyuan.

Lin Yuan started playing quickly.

What are these things that move with the waves? Touch them and they will light up with a shy glow. Cute reaction, touch them a few more times.

What are these soft, colorful things? If you poke them, they will shrink back in embarrassment. They are soft and fun to play with.

There are so many beautiful shells. I picked them up one by one and arranged them into cute shapes.

Some shells spit out crystal clear bubbles. A string of bubbles of memory rises from the seabed.

Wow, there's my own face in there.

…

Lin Yuan realized that he had spent too much time, and when he came out of the mental image, he found that the sentry under his hand had fallen asleep.

His face was resting on the table, his breath blowing slowly on Lin Yuan's wrist, and he slept soundly and peacefully.

I quietly removed the hand that was covering his eyes. The man's eyelashes twitched slightly, but he didn't wake up.

Lin Yuan knew that the sentinels were highly vigilant creatures, with auditory and tactile perception abilities several times more sensitive than normal humans.

In such a crisis-ridden environment, Ni Ji was able to fall asleep, which shows that his spiritual counseling made him feel very comfortable and relaxed.

Lin Yuan was delighted from the bottom of her heart. Her poor ability in mental counseling was a major concern for her and her biggest weakness in all mental health subjects.

Before this, almost no one liked her counseling.

Even at the Dongbin sentry post, although they got along well with Xiaoniao and the others, when they were doing spiritual counseling for them, everyone couldn't help showing a look of need and fear.

"Yes, it's very neat and refreshing. It's 10,000 times more effective than guide factor." The little bird kicked its toes embarrassedly, "It's just a little scary. I tremble with fear every time."

Although Lin Yuan didn't say anything, the more scared they were, the more nervous Lin Yuan became.

Every time I provided them with psychological counseling, I did it quickly and efficiently to avoid seeing them in pain.

This was the first time that she, like the other guides, made the treated Sentinels feel comfortable.

Lin Yuan looked down at Ni Ji who was sleeping on the table.

When Ni Ji was awake, he always had a strong aura about him, like a sharp cold blade or a towering solitary peak. The loneliness that seeped into his bones made him look very cold.

At this moment, as he lay here and fell asleep, his brows were relaxed, and the light and shadow from the window railings cast on his face, adding a bit of softness to his temperament.

The blood stains on his forehead and lips made him look fragile yet beautiful.

A tentacle squeezed into Lin Yuan's arms and showed her the pink little tip that had just grown.

[How did they grow so much? How did they do that?] Lin Yuan was shocked.

She knew that close proximity between spirits could help heal their injuries, but she didn't expect that just by rubbing her injured tentacle against the killer whale for a while, the effect would be so extraordinary.

When I was in guidance school, the professors pointed this out.

In rare cases, the healing effect between some spirits is very significant. But this is very rare, and requires that the spirits are familiar with each other and have a very high degree of natural compatibility.

Lin Yuan turned around to look for Ni Ji's spirit body. The killer whale was in the corner, being tossed around by seven or eight tentacles. It was in such a mess that tears welled up in its eyes.

Lin Yuan hurriedly called back those greasy but unsatisfied guys.

The little killer whale turned its head to look at Lin Yuan, whimpered, hid its body and returned to its own void.

The energetic tentacles finally crawled back onto the table and helped protect the sleeping sentry in the middle.

Let him, who has been fighting for a whole night and is injured and tired, have a good rest and not let any "monsters" in this world find him.

One of the Tengs reached out and fiddled with the tabletop, picking up the colorful candies that Lin Yuan hadn't finished eating.

It happily used its new tender little tip to try to roll up beautiful candies one by one and hold them up to the light.

Sometimes I would remember to go back and touch the sleeping sentry's soft hair.

Its body recovered, its beauty reappeared, and it regained its strong self-confidence.

[What do you think? I'll say he's the sweetest.]

【Big fish are the sweetest, big fish are the best?】

【Big fish are the sweetest】

【Big fish are the sweetest】

The tentacles responded to its words, and soon the chaotic voices in Lin Yuan's mind merged into a single will.

[Big fish is the sweetest?~~~~]
