    Chapter 33 The Roar of Bones

    [14: The first world mission is successful. In order to avoid affecting the emotions of the host in the subsequent world, I have sealed part of the plot of the completed world. After the rescue mission is over, Nannan, you have permanent viewing rights.]

    The ten-passenger bus was packed with people and was speeding on the flat and wide road. The plane trees on both sides were retreating quickly. The dazzling sunlight shone in from the window and fell on the car. The moving spots of light kept changing their shapes.

    The fat woman sitting in the passenger seat had the most popular short curly hair perm and wore bright red lipstick. She turned her head and glanced at the group of kids sitting in the back, frowned her long black eyebrows, and said seriously: "When we get to the Lu family, you all should stay calm and don't look around. Rich people don't like unruly children, do you hear me?"

    Shannan subconsciously followed a group of children about his own age and responded in unison: "I know~~~"

    After answering, he covered his forehead and wondered what he was doing.

    [14: The Lu family is one of the most profound families in the country. Its roots are so big and deep that ordinary people cannot imagine. It is the Lu family’s old house that you are going to now.The old house of the Lu family is located deep in a mountain forest within the jurisdiction of Meize City. It covers an area of 100,000 square meters. Not only the most favored descendants of the Lu family live in it, but also the people who maintain the normalcy of the entire old house.The logistics of running butlers, servants, drivers and gardeners, horse trainers and animal trainers and hundreds more.]

    [14: Your current role is to accompany students, playmates and followers. Your average age is fifteen years old. You are in the middle age group. You are just fifteen years old. The youngest is thirteen and the oldest is only sixteen. You have a total ofTen people, for nine people named Lu who are about the same age as you to choose to be their reading companions.]

    The memory of the original body slowly became clearer.

    This is a very magical country. The surname Lu is a noble surname, and its industries are spread all over the world, but its old residence is still in the country.The selection of the Lu family's heirs is very strict and cruel. To ordinary people, it is a nurturing process, but to the Lu family, it is commonplace. They have paid as much blood and sweat as they have enjoyed the preferential treatment.

    But the original person was just an orphan, and the director of the orphanage named him Shannan.The orphanage he was in happened to be under the protection of the Lu family. This time, the Lu family chose a companion to read. They declined the kindness of many corporate bosses who wanted to send their own children. They only chose the orphanage. It was also a charity. I don't blame those people for supporting the companion.The reading position is drooling, because the reading companion enjoys most of the same treatment as the descendants of the Lu family.

    The greater the temptation, the better the conditions, the more stringent the requirements. Their height, voice, blood type, three courts, five eyes, and even hair color and fingernails all have their own set of standards.

    Shang Nan looked at the boy opposite him. He was very thin, with big, round and bright eyes. The fingers of his hands kept scratching on his knees due to nervousness. The car occasionally bumped, and he was like a frightened bird.

    The fat woman in front turned her head and glanced behind her a few more times. Shannan was caught off guard and looked at her. The fat woman snorted and said, "You are quite courageous."

    Shannan didn't answer. He leaned back on the chair and turned to look at the beautiful scenery outside the window.

    Perhaps they have entered the area of the Lu family's old residence. Human figures gradually began to appear in the scene. On both sides were green rice fields, maybe wheat fields. Shan Nan didn't recognize them. When the wind blew, the soft ears undulated like ocean waves, and the field ridgesThere were people walking around, and every not far away, a gorgeous and exquisite pavilion would appear.

    The further they advanced, the denser the white fences and dark gray brick walls became. Shannan saw the driver swiping his ID card for the third time. It might also be an access card. Every time he checked, someone in black uniform would open the passenger compartment.At the car door, hawk-like eyes scanned everyone's face carefully, and only after confirming that everything was correct, they were allowed to pass.

    The speed of the car began to slow down, and the giant iron gate was wrapped with carved vines. The iron gate slowly opened inward on both sides, making a dull low sound.

    The first thing you see is a wide and flat lawn. The gravel road cuts the lawn into blocks of different shapes. After passing through a dazzling maze-like flower garden, the bus enters the courtyard of the old house owner's house - it reminds you of admiring the south.The castle has spire buildings of different heights and sizes in the horizontal direction, red and gray walls arranged densely and regularly, the sense of simplicity and solemnity that comes to you, the high-pitched neighing of horses, and the sound of whips waving in the air not far away.Crisp sound.

    "Get out of the car and hurry up." The fat woman whispered, urging them with a serious face.

    A group of children who had changed into uniforms in advance stood in a row. They all had different body shapes and skin colors, but they were all smart and healthy.They looked at this beautiful castle-like house expectantly, looking forward to staying.

    Shang Nan: "Should I watch like them?"

    [14: Either way.]

    Just as he was about to raise his head, the heavy wooden door in front of him slowly opened. An old butler wearing white gloves, a white beard, and a black double-breasted uniform with gold buttons came out. He smiled kindly and said, "It's time for dinner. The children are all hungry, right?", have a meal first.”

    There was a chill in the house. The spring sun was booming outside, but the air was freezing inside. Shang Nan was walking at the back and couldn't help but shiver when he stepped in.

    The reaction of the others was similar to that of Shonan. They were not dressed thickly. The uniforms were made in an orphanage and were relatively rough and thin. It was just to make them look decent and less shabby. But in fact, no matter what they wore,, they still look shabby and shameful.

    A huge, spacious or even grand living room can create echoes if you are not careful.

    The giant crystal chandelier above the head illuminates the living room even more magnificently. If you lower your head, you can see your own figure clearly on the floor tiles.

    The cautious little figures walked in the huge living room, like little black ants, so small and weak that they could be crushed to death with one finger.

    The fat woman had told them not to look around. They followed the old housekeeper and were taken to the restaurant by the old housekeeper.

    The long, long dining table is covered with a black tablecloth. The bottom of the cloth reaches the ground. There is no need to worry about it getting dirty, because the ground here is cleaner than their faces and pockets.

    The old housekeeper asked them to sit wherever they wanted. Everyone's face was full of nervousness and discomfort, but after hearing that they could sit wherever they wanted, they still chose the seats according to their own preferences.

    There were only nine places where tableware was placed, and there was one right in front of Shannan. Without thinking much, he pulled out a chair and wanted to sit on it.

    Before his fingers even touched the back of the chair, he was pushed aside by a force from the side. "Get out of here," the boy yelled.

    Shannan almost fell down, but when he stood firm, he found that the spot in front of him was no longer there.

    There were only nine places in total, but there were ten of them. Shannan had no place. He stood aside and looked up at the old butler, but the old butler didn't look at him, but looked at the children who already had their own seats.

    There is a rose in front of each of them, and envelopes of different colors are placed next to the rose.

    The old housekeeper smiled and said: "Tear it apart and take a look. Only open what is in front of you."

    They eagerly took the envelope and opened it to see what was inside.

    Hu Dilan is a girl. What she got was a light green envelope. The envelope seemed to be sprayed with perfume, which was fragrant.Hu Dielan opened it and put her fingers in, but she felt something cold. It didn't feel right. She pinched it with her fingers again, and the thing suddenly slid along the back of her hand. Hu Dielan froze and didn't dare to move until the thingIt crawled out completely, and it was a small black snake with a completely black body.

    "Ah!!!" The girl's scream echoed throughout the restaurant.

    Shang Nan watched this scene quietly. He silently found a seat at the end of the restaurant where no tableware was placed and sat down. He rested his chin on his hands and watched them opening envelopes not far away and suddenly became hesitant.Continuously.

    In the monitoring room on the third floor, a girl with long black straight bangs held a notebook in her hand, turned the pen between her fingers, and wrote: -10 points after the name Hu Dielan.

    After finishing writing, Lu Li closed the book and sat down on the table, "What kind of cowards are they? Uncle Meng is becoming more and more unreliable as he gets older."

    She is Lu Li, the third eldest in the Lu family. Sitting next to her is her second brother, who ranks second. They are not biological siblings. She and the eldest brother are biological siblings. The other seven are cousins.Yes, but as long as they have the blood of the Lu family, they are eligible to participate in the selection of heirs, but this does not prevent Lu Li from looking down on this group of competitors who can only be regarded as hybrids.

    "Forget it, I'll just go downstairs and pick one up. It's time to move on to the next stage, isn't it?"

    Lu Li opened the door of the monitoring room, her long white skirt trailing on the ground. She walked slowly along the stairs to the restaurant with bare feet.

    Shang Nan saw her when she appeared outside the top room.

    [14: The biological sister of the task target is twenty years old this year and a little devil.]

    Lu Li walked to Hu Dielan, squatted down and picked up the snake from the ground. He hooked the black snake's chin with his fingers. Seeing that he was in good spirits, he wrapped the black snake around his wrist, then lowered his head and looked at Hu Dielan.Lan, "Come with me."

    Hu Dielan was trembling all over and looked at the old housekeeper for help. The old housekeeper smiled slightly and said, "Miss Third is a very kind person who loves small animals."

    Hu Dilan stood up slowly. Lu Li lowered his eyes and reached out to hold Hu Dilan's cold wrist. The black snake docilely crawled along her wrist to Hu Dilan's wrist. Lu Li led Hu Dilan and walked forward., "Don't be afraid, I'm very good. You will know later that I am the best person in this family."

    Shang Nan sympathized with Hu Dielan. The sixteen-year-old girl was so frightened that her face turned pale and she looked like she would faint at any time.

    But this does not mean that Hu Dielan is unlucky. On the contrary, she should be the luckiest. She was taken away first, and she will not be left behind.At least she has a chance to move toward a brighter future.

    [14: You are only fifteen.]

    But Shannan has never realized that his body is only fifteen years old. He always feels that he has just graduated from college.

    Some are not comfortable with it.

    The meals mentioned by the old butler were not delivered. Except for the snake in the envelope opened by Hu Dilan, the other envelopes were all normal greetings.

    Shang Nan couldn't see the contents of the envelope, but he could tell from everyone's relieved expressions.

    The restaurant was so quiet that only the sound of the pendulum was left. The old butler was well-trained and always kept a smile. He stood motionless beside him, as if he had become a sculpture.

    Time passed slowly, and the sun outside turned from bright yellow to brilliant gold.

    Everyone couldn't sit still. First, their buttocks hurt, and second, they were hungry.Only the housekeeper and Shang Nan remained motionless.

    Finally, the housekeeper coughed lightly and said, "Let me take you all to meet the friends you will study and live with in the future."

    Everyone stood up without making any noise. Shannan also stood up, but he didn't know whether he should follow the old housekeeper. He had no place. Although the rules didn't say it clearly, he probably guessed that he would follow the old butler at the beginning.Was eliminated.

    Shannan is very thin, not old, and not tall enough. The uniform is a little too big on him. His eyes are much rounder than the boy in the car before, his eyelashes are thick and curled, the inner corners of his eyes are droopy, and the outer corners of his eyes are droopy.An upward hook, with the ends of the eyes pulled apart when the eyes are widened, like a cat's eyes, but softer and more harmless than a cat's eyes.

    He stood in his position and everyone had finished leaving. When the old butler passed by him, he left a message, "Let's go."

    They walked through a long, closed and narrow corridor. The corridor was magnificent, the walls were painted with artistic murals, and the air was filled with the faint scent of orchids.

    Then, the old butler took them to the elevator. He only took four people for the first time.

    The remaining five people were taken to another building. The second time, only four people were taken, leaving Shan Nan standing alone on the first floor waiting.

    Soon, the old housekeeper came back. He smiled at Shannan and said, "Follow me, kid."

    Shang Nan walked behind the old housekeeper. This time, they walked out of the room and passed through a long outdoor corridor. The violets on both sides stretched their bodies in the wind. The fragrance of flowers was pleasant in the air. On the lawn far away, there wereSeveral people were playing golf. Shannan saw that one of them was carrying a golf club and hit another person on the leg. The man squatted down holding his leg. Soon, several people were fighting together.

    The old housekeeper took Shonan to an independent house. It had dark gray wall tiles and a wide black fence surrounding the house. There were no flowers and plants in the yard, only sharp stones. The windows of the house were all open to the outside.The curtains were blown out by the wind and fluttered like flags.

    A middle-aged woman walked out of the door, wearing a black dress and a white lace apron.

    "The eldest young master has raised several dogs and is very accommodating. I can't take you in, so let Mrs. Xiang take you in." The old housekeeper said.

    Mrs. Xiang has long golden brown hair. Although her face is wrinkled, she is also very beautiful and charming.

    She held Shang Nan's hand and frightened away the pure black hounds that were about to charge, "Don't be afraid, they will like you too."

    The house here is not as ostentatious and dazzling as there, it is very quiet, peaceful, elegant and restrained.

    There is soothing music playing in the room, several oil paintings of beautiful scenery are mounted on the walls, and the bookshelves in the living room are filled with books.

    [14:Monster’s territory.]

    [14: Nannan, there is no prompt. I don’t know who he is. Please be careful.]

    Mrs. Xiang led Shang Nan to the elevator and arrived at the top floor.

    Standing in front of a pure white wooden door, Mrs. Xiang raised her hand and clicked the iron ring on the door.

    After a while, the door was slowly opened, and Mrs. Xiang pushed Shan Nan, "Go in."

    Shannan swallowed and walked in with some anxiety. As soon as others entered, the door was closed behind him.

    The room is wide, so wide that it feels like there is something hidden in the room. The light from outside shines in without missing a beat, so the room does not appear dark and cramped. On the contrary, the house is bright, warm, and even comfortable.

    Someone coughed, and after a while, there were several more coughs.

    Shannan was startled. He looked towards the source of the sound. It was next to a bookshelf. There was a wide desk with the computer speakers turned on. There was a glass vase on the table with several things in it.White tulip.

    The young man is sitting behind the desk. He wears black-rimmed glasses and a black sweater. The sweater is loose and looks soft and gentle, without any aggression.If Shonan didn't know that he was a monster, he would have thought that he was an enthusiastic senior, a gentle senior brother, and the affectionate second male lead in the novel.

    But Shannan was very sober, and the person in front of him could not really be as harmless as he appeared.

    Lu Ji's eyes behind the lenses were gentle and affectionate, and he waved to Shang Nan to walk over.

    I don't know why, but Shang Nan's palms were sweating under such gentle eyes.

    After walking around the desk, Shannan stood in front of the young man. The young man put his fist to his mouth and coughed a few times. He stopped and then showed an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, I'm not in good health."

    Can monsters also be in poor health?

    The boy's confused look made Lu Ji couldn't help but laugh.

    Lu Ji raised his hand again to signal, and his sleeves slid down his arms, revealing his thin and white wrists.

    But Shang Nan didn't quite understand the other party's gesture.

    Lu Ji's smile faded, "Kneel down."

    Shannan was stunned, "What?"

    "Uncle Meng probably forgot to tell you. My rule is that the first time you see me every day, you must kneel down and kowtow to say hello." Lu Ji smiled, "Xiao Nan, do it." He already knewHe called Shang Nan's name and said it very gently.

    In Shang Nan's understanding, the knees cannot be bent casually, but no matter what, the task is still more important.

    Shang Nan was silent for a few seconds, then took two steps back and slowly knelt down facing the young man. He folded his palms on the ground and bent down to put his forehead against them.

    While doing all this, he may not have known the expression on his face. He gritted his teeth, puffed out his cheeks, and his eyes were full of stubbornness and dissatisfaction.

    The young man never asked Shang Nan to get up. Shang Nan's face was very close to the ground. The other party didn't ask him to get up. He also knew that he couldn't move. He was wondering, what kind of monster is this?

    He remembered that he would always accompany the monster in every world from now on until the end of his life. Would he kneel to this monster until he died?

    Shang Nan felt creepy.

    At this time, the young man's soft voice sounded above Shang Nan's head, "Xiao Nan, my name is Lu Ji. From now on in this family, I will be your brother and your only supporter in the Lu family. Do you understand?"

    After Shang Nan was slightly startled, he replied in a loud voice: "Understood."

    Lu Ji bent down and pinched the exposed back of Shang Nan's neck. His hand was very cold. Shang Nan immediately jumped up and knelt on the ground, looking at Lu Ji defensively.

    "Call me brother." Lu Ji smiled.

    After a few seconds, the boy called out in a low voice: "Brother."
