After I came out of the medical center, I was always a little confused.
The previous scene was really bizarre - please forgive me for using the word "bizarre" to describe a beautiful girl's initiative to kiss, because if the other party was Lin Xue, this process could only be described as bizarre.
By the way, which muscle of Lin Daxian is twitching? Could it be that Miss Lin, who is usually the least confrontational with me, regards complaining about me as her life goal and daily task, and has repeatedly announced that she and Mu Mu will engage in a never-ending class struggle in this life?
Have you been secretly in love with me, Chen?
When I think of this possibility, I feel trembling all over. It is so curious. This possibility is so curious. I would rather believe that the first Yachucas in the world was killed by Taoist Zeratul than to believe that Lin Xue
That violent young lady has a secret crush on me!
However, if you think about it seriously, it doesn't seem right that you didn't feel any joy in your heart at that moment. And before, I really didn't notice it at all... Well, I can't think about it anymore, otherwise Qianqian will know.
You will definitely be curious about it.
And after that sudden kiss, Lin Xue herself seemed to be extremely avoidant. No matter how I activated the "King's Gaze" (...), that girl just pretended to be dumbfounded and wanted to immediately announce that she had just hit her head.
As a result, she suffered from amnesia within fifteen minutes. Jesus told us that a woman’s heart is like a nail dropped in the Mariana Trench. Everyone who tries to explore the secret basically drowns in the middle. God knows.
What is the eldest lady thinking in her mind?
Anyway, I took advantage...
These thoughts were swirling around in my mind, and I didn't pay attention to where I was walking, until I suddenly bumped into a light body, and was revived with a cry of surprise.
"Oh--"
The girl who was walking towards me was knocked out by me.
This is such a familiar scene, and what a familiar slow exclamation just now.
There is probably no other person in the world who can produce a delayed sound when he exclaims.
The girl I knocked to the ground was wearing some kind of light blue dress uniform of a store waiter. Her long silver hair was thrown to her forehead due to the imbalance of her owner's center of gravity, covering less than half of her cheeks. At this moment
The slow-moving girl was sitting on the ground processing the unexpected incident that had just happened. Then she slowly stood up, patted the dust on her skirt, and greeted me with a long voice: "Ah
, is it Chen Jun - what a coincidence - out for shopping?"
In an instant, my already not very flexible brain slowed down even more - now it was good, I couldn't think of Lin Xue's complicated things at all.
"Uh, sorry, I didn't see... you're not hurt, are you?" Out of politeness, even though I knew that the girl in front of me would not be able to break through even if ten thousand mammoths stepped on her, I still expressed concern.
Also, I really didn’t see a certain person’s pantyhose that was half-shot just now…
"Ah?" Sylvia raised her voice in confusion, then lowered her voice, "Oh, it turns out it was Mr. Chen who bumped into me just now. It doesn't matter -"
I:"……"
Do you think this heartless person's condition has become more serious recently?
Only then did I realize that during my unknowing wandering, I had arrived at a place far away from the central base, on a deserted street.
Surrounded by completely empty buildings and empty display windows, if there are some shops operating in other parts of Shadow City that bring a bit of vitality, this neighborhood is as lifeless as a ghost alley.
I vaguely remembered that this should be one of the connection points between Avalon and Shadow City. Due to the sensitive location, Sivis marked this place as an SSS-level martial law zone when he divided the area.
"What are you doing here?"
I looked at the silver-haired girl in front of me curiously. There was nothing left in her eyes except confusion and innocence. Could it be that she was lost?
With the precedent of Gianna getting lost and running straight out of the service area, I have no doubt that Sylvia has the ability to wander to any corner without help.
"Ah, because this is the entrance of my store——"
Three seconds later, Sylvia answered slowly, then turned slightly sideways and pointed to me a small facade behind her.
I:"……"
You're opening a store in no man's land, idiot!!
"Ah, yes - I almost forgot," before I could complain, Sylvia showed an expression as if she suddenly remembered something, clapped her hands together, took out a stack of small cards from her body, and pulled out one.
He stuffed it into my hand and said, "I came out because I want to distribute cards in nearby cities. You can give one to Chen Jun first~~~"
I took the card speechlessly and looked at the big words on it: Welcome to Xiaoxi Candy House.
What a familiar scene, such a familiar card. There is no address or contact number of the store, or even the main brand, but a lot of effort has been put into designing the lace of the card. The pattern on it can even be printed directly on currency.
Used for anti-counterfeiting!
"If possible, can you come and sit in the store?"
Sylvia saw that I was silent about the card for a long time, thinking that I was interested in her store, and immediately invited her warmly. There is no doubt that after the collision just now and the interruption now, she has forgotten her original purpose of advertising.
Planned.
It's useless to send out those cards anyway.
Sylvia's little shop is on the corner of the street, a candy house decorated with cartoons. As one of the most special residents in the Shadow City, Sylvia has many privileges that she is unaware of. One of them
Even if he opens a store near this place that is classified as a military restricted area, the green light from the Shadow City management department cannot change the attributes of this stupid business idiot. He opens the store in a no-man's land. This guy thinks that his profession is to give pain to people.
Players post hidden tasks and open a shop in the corners of the map. I don’t know why they starve to death, but they magically sell resurrection stones. Is this a storyline NPC?
More importantly, even if you are a plot NPC, who in the Shadow City would risk being beaten to pieces by imperial soldiers to come to you to accept the dragon-slaying mission!
After being welcomed into her shop by Sylvia, while looking boredly at the colorful candies she placed on the counter to form various puzzles, I couldn't help but ask this question. In my opinion,
No matter how stupid you are, if you don’t see anyone passing by the store for two whole months after opening the store, you should be a little confused, right?
"Ah, speaking of which, there are often little girls this tall who come to buy candies."
Hearing my question, Sylvia, who was helping to make instant coffee, immediately became interested and said this after using her hand to indicate a height for me on her waist.
"In addition, occasionally a white-haired boy comes with a little girl who calls herself Misaka Misaka to buy small cakes. I made them myself -"
Eh? It turns out that as the upper body of all Misakas, can the final game be close to this area?
Also, what happened to the "some" little girls that Sylvia mentioned just now?
"It's just that high -" Sylvia still explained slowly. Now she had completely forgotten about making coffee for me. "Wearing white dresses, they all look exactly the same. Speaking of which, even when I was around Chen Jun, I saw
I have seen little girls who look the same as them - but they look very different from the child next to you..."
Could it be... the Xiling hosts who are off work?
Don’t they have no sexual awareness? Could it be that they also like candies?
Just when such doubts arose in my mind, the bell at the door of the candy house suddenly rang loudly, diverting Sylvia and I's attention.
Several little girls in white dresses pushed the door open and walked in, staring blankly ahead. Only the leading little girl said hello: "Excuse me, is Sister Sylvia here?"
It is indeed a mass-produced Xiling console!
Three replicas of Bubbles walked into the small candy house, and then noticed my presence. Under the control of the program, three identical little girls immediately bowed slightly to this side and said in unison: "May you always be here."
Enjoy the glory, Your Majesty the Emperor."
"Ah... what an interesting title," Sylvia blinked, then stood up and took out three wrapped candy boxes from the counter, "These are the candies you ordered before."
Seeing Sylvia so accurately identify the three little girls who looked and behaved the same as all Xiling hosts, I finally confirmed one thing: even if it was slow, they still retained their identity as Xiling apostles.
recognition ability.
Perhaps, the conjecture Lin Xue made about me just now is not groundless.
"Ah, what's the problem? Don't you like this kind of packaging?" Sylvia's slow voice interrupted my thinking. When I looked up, it turned out that the three Xiling hosts were still standing there blankly.
, paying no attention to the candy in her hand, but turned her dull eyes towards me.
"What...what's wrong?" I felt uncomfortable being stared at by three pairs of dull eyes. I was usually used to seeing Little Bubble's weirdness and Bubble's otaku fanaticism, but suddenly I was faced with three mass-produced wooden figures.
Host, the huge sense of dissonance makes people very uncomfortable.
Well, could it be that because "His Majesty the Emperor" suddenly caught him sneaking out of the military camp to buy candy, he was so scared that he didn't dare to move?
This thought flashed through my mind, but I didn’t even believe it: What a joke! Mass-produced consoles have no thinking!
But... there actually appeared in front of me three mass-produced consoles that liked to eat candy and would even sneak out of the military camp to buy candy after get off work.
And depending on what Sylvia means, these three hosts are not the only ones who usually come to her shop to buy candies.
Somehow, I determined that the three little girls in front of me, who were supposed to just follow the procedures, were afraid of being punished. Then I walked forward with a warm smile and tapped each of the three little girls on the head:
"There's nothing wrong with going out to buy candies during breaks, just be careful not to get cavities."
I used the usual way of talking to Little Bubble. According to my experience, with the blessing of my own nanny’s halo, this kind of pampering lesson will definitely have the effect of +10086 favorability.
The effect is very obvious. The three little girls in front of me...
There was no change in expression at all.
It's so disappointing, but a mass-produced console is a mass-produced console after all. Faced with such overwhelming fatherly love, the three little girls still had dull expressions and just took Sylvie's hand honestly.
He took the gift box in Ya's hand, and then bowed neatly to me: "Follow your teachings, Your Majesty the Great Emperor."
Then, the three little girls left the shop with neat steps, like a person and her two shadows.
Only the level 6 dad was left, who was gradually turning pale due to the sudden failure of his all-powerful fatherly love.
However, Sylvia, who was usually the slowest and least intelligent, nodded with understanding: "Ah, these three children are very happy - especially the one walking in front, she is very, very happy.
Oh my joy - Chen Jun, you are so good at coaxing children..."
I raised my head in surprise and looked at Sylvia's face with a pure smile. Lin Xue's reminder rang in my mind again.
"...Although I can't see Sylvia's future, my intuition inadvertently revealed something when my ability reached its peak yesterday. That girl will play a very special role in the near future...Maybe Bellavi
La is dead, but the soul of a Xiling person may also be reincarnated..."
I never dare to despise Lin Xue’s reminder, even if it is not based on her prophecy, but just an intuition. But now it seems that the so-called chance of reincarnation of Bellavilla is very slim, but Sylvia has many
What surprised me.
What I discovered before is the ability to command the souls of the Raven Troops. What I discovered just now is that the other party still retains the ability to identify Xiling Apostles, and the ability to see the faint emotional fluctuations of the mass-produced host at a glance.
These are not skills that a short-sighted person should master.
"Ahem," I suddenly realized that I had been staring at the other person rudely for a long time. I coughed twice in embarrassment, and then tentatively said, "Bella Villa, I want to ask you something."
"Oh? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Wait, she agreed?!
It was just a sudden test, and Sylvia directly agreed to my calling her "Bella Vera"!
But just when I was about to say something, Sylvia said to herself with a confused expression, "By the way, Mr. Chen, you called me by the wrong name just now~~~~"
Well, she just didn't react just now...
After chatting with Sylvia for a while, naturally nothing was discovered. Lin Xue’s reminder only meant that Sylvia would play a huge role in the near future. Now she is still just a silly lackluster.
It's just the eyes of the mind.
Unknowingly, the time was approaching noon, and I felt that my head had gradually turned into a pile of sticky glue during the conversation with Sylvia. In order to preserve my last pitiful wisdom, I resolutely declined the offer.
Sylvia's kindness in inviting me to have lunch - a guy who can even tie his own buttons wrongly, the food he cooks is probably not up to Sandora's high-energy fuel level, but it is only slightly better than Lin Xue, I
It’s better to go back and enjoy Anweina’s ghost horse package.
"So, goodbye-"
Sylvia sent me to the door of the store, said goodbye very politely, and then suddenly muttered in a low voice the moment I turned to leave, "Ah, speaking of which, I seemed to be helping Chen Jun make coffee..."
As soon as I heard this, I ran away. If I wait for that cup of coffee to be brewed, I guess the next generation of humans will learn to walk upright!
I spent a whole morning in the shadow city. In addition to accompanying Lin Xue, I was dragged by Sylvia's extremely slow guy to synchronize the timeline. Such days of doing nothing even seemed to me like
It was a little too boring. Then, something really happened at noon that made us all feel quite interesting...
A visitor that none of us expected suddenly arrived, but he was not a stranger.
Ding Ling - Lin Xue's best friend, the eldest lady who can compete with Tohsaka Rin in terms of taking advantage of the situation, seems to have been performing missions abroad recently because of the work of the supernatural team, and she has been with us for a long time.
Time has passed and we didn’t expect that she would come to us suddenly and bring an extremely gorgeous suitcase with her.
Speaking of which, Ding Ling can be considered an "insider" who has some understanding of our situation, so when she was welcomed into the living room, a group of non-human beings were still busy doing their own things, and Dingdang was still happily drilling through the hoop.
Raye spread her wings and asked her sister to help her use a hair dryer to shape the fluff on the inside of her wings. Pandora and Viska placed various heavy cannons in the living room and were competing to see who could disassemble and reassemble them in the shortest time.
, but since Qian Qian is the judge, I guess they will have to draw forever.
The only person doing normal things in the living room is the dedicated maid Anweina. She is busy cleaning up everyone's dishes after dinner and counting the tableware that Sandora has chewed. But in fact, this is floating in the air.
The little ghost who went away was the culprit that made Ding Ling's face turn green.
"You have to get used to it," facing Ding Ling's stunned look, I said to her with complete understanding, "In fact, this is our most normal daily activity. At least this time Anweina did not get out of the TV screen."
"I... it must be a mistake for me to come here!" Ding Ling's hoarse voice sounded a little trembling, "At least, can you let that ghost walk on the ground?"
Damn, as a senior cadre of the supernatural team, he is so afraid of ghosts.
However, seeing that Miss Ding's face was about to pass away at any time, I still waved to Anweina. The little ghost let out a distressed cry, and finally turned into a big crow obediently and returned to her place in the living room.
Inside the nest built on top of the standing cabinet.
…
I said, did this idiot actually prepare a bird's nest for his crow form?
Anweina's complaint of grievance was immediately heard in the spiritual connection: "Well, Master, it's hard to avoid the instinct in this form."
"Okay, now you can feel at ease - come to us with something?"
Although we know each other, the relationship between Ding Ling and our group is limited to ordinary acquaintances, and there is a sense of keeping a distance. Generally, she rarely takes the initiative to come to this mansion with the most exaggerated security level in history when there is nothing wrong.
Come to us. Today, she came to the dungeon called "Empire Headquarters" to complete the mission despite the huge pressure from Anweina. She must have something important to ask for.
This is what a man’s 9th sense tells me.
"Actually, I picked up a strange 'guy' recently," Ding Ling pondered her words. She seemed to have a headache on how to explain to us the strange facts she encountered. Then she picked up the big black box beside her, "
This is a strange thing that even the superpower team has never encountered before. I suspect that she comes from another 'place', and only you can help solve this kind of thing..."
Ding Ling said, pushing the heavy-looking box she brought in front of me.
"If you can figure out how this doll called the Mercury Lamp came to earth..."
