Chapter 22 Seems Like Yesterday

"Lu Ran."

"Hmm?" Lu Ran put down the red scarf and turned to look at Lady Jiang.

She was wearing a white raincoat, which matched her fair and beautiful face very well, pure and quiet.

The girl asked, "Did you advance?"

Lu Ran smiled and said, "What do you think?"

This scene seems to have happened a few days ago?

Jiang Ruyi rolled her eyes at Lu Ran in anger and amusement: "Who cares to know."

Anyone could guess the answer from his proud and confident look.

"Hehe." Lu Ran grinned.

You dare to use chopsticks when you eat with me? I took out the plastic bag again!
Sorry, everyone.

I'm pretending again!

"Good!" Deng Yutang shouted, startling Lu Ran. "You have also learned the Immortal Hoof, right?"

Lu Ran nodded as a matter of course: "Don't worry."

Deng Yutang was certain in his heart that Brother Lu had lived up to his expectations.

Deng Yutang was envious of his teammates for advancing once again, but also felt a little pressure.

But he felt even more joy in his heart. After all, the stronger Lu Ran was, the higher the chances of survival for the team members!
Especially after acquiring the magical skill Fairy Hoof, Lu Ran can move faster and can better connect the entire team and provide assistance everywhere!
"So amazing." Tian Tian looked up at Lu Ran with her mouth slightly opened.

Looking at Tian Tian's cute little appearance, Lu Ran couldn't help but reach out and pat her on the head.

Although they are all of the same age, the cute and well-behaved Tian Tian always gives people the feeling of a little sister?
"Hmm." Tian Tian lowered her head, her face flushed, and did not dare to dodge.

It was Goddess Jiang who showed mercy and rescued her people. She took Tian Tian behind her and blocked the petite figure.

"Everyone assemble and line up according to your team numbers!" On the rostrum, a male teacher holding a microphone shouted orders.

There was chaos on the playground, and the teacher's voice continued: "Today, you have to participate in the city defense operation and protect this city!"

As the male teacher spoke at length, the students lined up.

The playground was solemn and the atmosphere became increasingly depressing.

Compared to the last assessment in the Vicious Dog Village, this time the fifteen-man defense of the city is undoubtedly a hundred times more dangerous!
As the homeroom teacher Li Yanzhu said before, today there are no soldiers selecting the weakest demons for the trainees to practice with.

tonight,

If you are not careful, people can die!
"Attention!" the male teacher shouted, "The teams whose numbers I call out, please come to the podium one by one."

Deng Yutang suddenly said, "I think I saw my sister."

"Oh?" Lu Ran looked into the distance, searching for the figure of Big Nightmare.

Sure enough, in the dark raincoat, he saw a bright yellow figure.

"Your sister's position is not low, right?" Lu Ran leaned behind Deng Yutang and whispered.

In front of the rostrum, a group of Moon-Watchers were lined up in an orderly manner, while Big Nightmare was standing on the side of the team with five other people.

Deng Yutang shook his head: "She has only been employed for a few months, what level can she be at?"

Lu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly. What about this position? Is it because she is from the Municipal Bureau?
Probably.

Even though Deng Yuxiang was just a small pawn in the Yunshan City Divine and Civil Affairs Bureau, she was also sent by the higher authorities in Yuxiang City.

".Team 33!"

"Team 57!"

"Team 98!"

"Here!" Deng Yutang responded subconsciously, loudly.

Under the gaze of the students, the group of four quickly crossed the line and came to the rostrum.

"Each of your ten teams will be assigned a leader from the Moon Watcher. You will carry out your mission at the Xicheng District Gymnasium." The male teacher said in a deep voice, "From now on, everything will be under the Moon Watcher's orders!"

As they were talking, men and women in black raincoats came to their respective teams.

The leader of Team 98 is Mochizuki, a middle-aged man with a very kind face.

"Let's go." The man spoke first and waved to the four people.

Deng Yutang took the lead and followed.

When he walked to the side of the rostrum, Deng Yutang greeted her, "Sister."

Before, Deng Yutang had a loud voice, but now he looked like he didn't want to greet, but didn't dare not speak.

Lu Ran was very generous and waved his hand: "Hello, sister!"

"Yeah." Deng Yuxiang ignored her brother and looked Lu Ran up and down.

She raised her head slightly, her gesture was quite casual: "Little Lu Ran, please don't die."

"You're my sister." Lu Ran gave him a thumbs up. "You really care about others!"

"Haha~"

"Haha." For a moment, several colleagues from the Municipal Bureau laughed out loud.

"You brat." Deng Yuxiang also laughed and scolded, "Get out of here!"

Deng Yutang: “.”

Deng Yutang, who was reluctant to say hello, suddenly felt ignored.

What's wrong with me?
From childhood to adulthood, I have always been able to avoid her. What happened today?
Lu Ran didn't say anything else, but raised his eyebrows with a probing look on his face.

Deng Yuxiang reacted quickly and immediately understood what Lu Ran was asking.

The smile on her face faded slightly and she shook her head gently.

"Okay." Lu Ran sighed inwardly and left with the team.

"Is Xiao Deng your sister?" The team leader, Wangyue, looked at Lu Ran.

"His." Lu Ran patted Deng Yutang's back. "If she were my sister, I wouldn't be alive today."

The man looking at the moon had a strange expression on his face and looked at Deng Yutang.

Deng Yutang had no choice but to nod.

It might be my sister, although she doesn't look like she is very familiar with me, but it should be her.

"Sir, what's your name?" Lu Ran asked.

The man introduced himself: "Zhang Feng, you can just call me Brother Zhang.

I am from the Moon Watching Team of the Yuxiang City Divine Bureau, and I am a Sword Lotus believer. "

Jiang Ruyi looked at the girl beside him and whispered, "I met my senior brother."

Tian Tian looked at her fellow believers curiously. Unfortunately, Zhang Feng's face became serious and he said, "From now on, until the mission is over, you must obey orders!

This duty is no joke, you must be responsible for your own life."

"Yes!"

"Yes." Several people responded very seriously.

The ten teams boarded the bus of the Divine and Civilization Bureau and drove on the deserted streets all the way to the Xicheng District Stadium.

There are many shelters in Yuxiang City, and Lu Ran is quite familiar with this gymnasium in Xicheng District.

Even on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar last month, Lu Ran spent the night here.

As the car drove into Stadium Road, Lu Ran saw the circular building in the distance and had a feeling it was unreal.

On this day last month, he was already in the museum, lying on his bed and browsing his phone boredly.

At that time, his mother would call him in her busy schedule to encourage and comfort him.

And now.
Lu Ran subconsciously touched his pocket.

Sure enough, I forgot to bring my cell phone again.

He really forgot his mother after getting the fairy sheep.

Moreover, since becoming a believer, I have been training hard day and night and have not contacted my sister for a long time.

In the past two years since leaving the capital, every fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the brother and sister would always send messages and chat about their recent situation. Compared to Lu Ran, the sister's night environment is much better. She can stay at home and spend a peaceful time in front of the divine sculpture Sword One worshipped by her mother.

"Did you bring your cell phones?" Lu Ran asked.

Deng Yutang shook his head, while Tian Tian in the back seat hurriedly searched for the phone and handed it over: "Here."

Her phone case is a pink cartoon rabbit, which is quite cute.

Lu Ran took the phone and handed it over again: "Password."

"Oh." Tian Tian stretched out her little hand and tapped the screen.

Lu Ran accidentally saw some of it: "0607, is it your birthday?"

Tian Tian quickly retracted her hand without saying a word.

Lu Ran: "Why didn't you tell us in advance? Let us help you celebrate!"

"The seventh day of the sixth lunar month." Deng Yutang pondered, "According to the lunar calendar, isn't that the day we form a team?"

Hearing this, Tian Tian actually turned her head and looked out the window, not daring to look at them anymore.

Jiang Ruyi is very intelligent and seems to understand something.

"It could also be the bank password, don't ask." Jiang Ruyi spoke up at the right time to help, placing one hand on Tian Tian's back.

As she rubbed her palms up and down, Tian Tian's tense body gradually relaxed.

Jiang Ruyi looked at the girl sitting next to her with a smile in her eyes.

She is just a little shy and not good at expressing herself.

She must have a lot on her mind.

A few minutes later, the vehicle drove into the huge stadium and stopped in front of the gymnasium.

"Everyone, get out of the car!"

A voice came from the front. Lu Ran quickly sent the message and got off the car with the group.

The stadium was silent under the rain.

The green lawns, basketball and tennis courts, and other venues were all empty.

"Let's get familiar with the environment first." Zhang Feng called the four people and walked into the gymnasium together.

There is a world of difference between the inside and outside of the building.

The museum is brightly lit, there must be thousands of people!
Single beds are neatly arranged in a clear vertical and horizontal manner. Most citizens stay in their beds playing with their mobile phones or watching tablets.

There were also people who gathered in twos or threes to play cards and brag quietly.

The occasional chuckles eased the depressing atmosphere.

Why did everyone in the museum consciously lower their voices?

Because there are many small shrines at the intersection of the beds, and on the prayer mats in front of each shrine there is a kneeling person looking at the moon.

At a glance, there must be thirty or forty small shrines in such a large venue.

Placed in the shrine are small sycamore trees.

The sixth-rank god, Biwu!
It is a typical plant-based deity, and the magic of the Biwu school is characterized by its strengths in defense and healing.

"You're back."

Lu Ran murmured, feeling as if it was just another day.

"There are thirty beds horizontally and thirty beds vertically, including children, a total of one thousand citizens." Zhang Feng said softly as he led his team members to wander around.

"Remember the layout of the hall and pay attention to the gaps between the beds."

"Although your post is not inside the museum, we may come in at any time if necessary."

As the team marched, some citizens cast friendly glances at them.

The identities of Lu Ran and his companions were obvious. After all, they carried weapons with them and were led by Wang Yue.

There are also some citizens who are not friendly to this group of young people.

"Call the landlord!"

"I'll grab it~"

Not far to the front right, a bald man was lying comfortably on the bed, playing Landlord on his cell phone.

Realizing that someone was approaching, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Ran and the others.

Especially after seeing the petite and weak Tian Tian, ​​the bald brother with a face full of flesh actually gave the girl a sidelong glance.

His face was full of annoyance, and he didn't hide it at all!
"Do you know him?" Jiang Ruyi frowned slightly.

Tian Tian shook his head silently.

The sudden malice may seem unprovoked, but it actually has a reason.

In the eyes of some people, young believers like Lu Ran are extremely unreliable!
If they really encounter a dangerous situation, these believers may be more panicked than ordinary people!

Unfortunately, the believers have physical fitness beyond that of ordinary people. Once they panic, the chaos they cause will be even greater.

It would be better for this kind of rookie to position himself as an ordinary person and accept the protection of the Moon Watching people!

The problem is that each generation of young believers always needs to experience growth, and the first duty is inevitable.
That is to say, the bald brother is living under someone else's roof, and the team is led by Wangyue Man, otherwise, the other party would have spoken already.

"Lu Ran?" Jiang Ruyi stopped because Lu Ran in front of her stopped.

The bald elder brother looked unfriendly and glared at Lu Ran who was standing in front of him: "What are you looking at?"

What happened to the believers?
You bunch of little bastards, go wherever you want, but don’t be assigned to my area!
But Lu Ran pointed at the bed and said, "I slept on this bed on the fifteenth of last month."

The bald man sat up and said, "What do you mean by occupying this bed? You won't let anyone else sleep on it?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Ran suddenly raised his head and pointed upwards:

"Around ten o'clock that night, I saw with my own eyes a Soul Breaker appearing there, right there!"

Bald Brother: ???
Lu Ran pointed at the bald man's feet and said, "If Moon Watcher hadn't acted quickly, the Soul Breaker would have landed at the end of my bed!"

"Fuck!" The bald elder brother quickly retracted his foot, "Little brother, don't scare me, my heart can't take it."

"You play cards so well!"

"Hurry up, I'll wait until all the flowers have wilted~"

Voices came from the phone.

The fat on the bald brother's face was almost scared away: "Little brother, you like this bed, can't I change it?

If you are tired from your night shift, come here and take a rest. I will leave now!"

"Sir, calm down!" Zhang Feng immediately returned and pushed the bald man back to the bed, "The registered beds cannot be changed at will.

Don't panic, the evil demons don't appear in fixed locations.

There are many statues of gods in the museum, and there are also many Moon Watchers stationed there. We will definitely protect you, please rest assured."

Lu Ran nodded heavily: "Yes, safe and painless!
At that time, I didn’t even have time to scream before it was over.”

Bald brother: “.”

After comforting the bald brother, Zhang Feng turned to look at Lu Ran and said, "Some psychological trauma is inevitable.

But you are no longer the same person you were before, and you have to learn to face it instead of living in fear.”

Lu Ran looked up at the ceiling, his eyes sparkling, "Brother Zhang misunderstood."

Zhang Feng: “Oh?”

Lu Ran hugged the cloth-wrapped Xiaguang Sword tightly and looked at the direction where the Soul-Splitting Demon had appeared: "I am not afraid.

On the contrary, I hope to see it again tonight.

Kill it with your own hands!"

"My mom, my grandma!"

The bald man stood up with a pounce, looking sad: "Change, this bed must be changed!"

"Stop talking!" Zhang Feng hurriedly pushed Lu Ran with one hand and walked quickly away.

　Thanks to Burning Thighs Mao Dameng for the reward. The boss is very generous. Thanks for the support!
　　Gah!
