The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the extremely bad weather before seemed to be just a distant dream. Only the traces of water still remaining on the windowsill and the wet ground on the street proved that there had indeed been a heavy rain late last night - and
This sunny day after the rain has cleared up seems to be just the right time to take a good nap at home.
But Shirley had slept enough. She had never slept for such a long time in one breath, and she was a little hungry, which urged her to get up quickly.
Because lying in bed hungry was an unpleasant memory for her - when she was younger, she used to sleep through the hungriest nights, and if it hadn't been for Agou's awakening and support,
, she may have left this world as early as a cold and hungry winter night.
When hunger crosses a certain critical point, people will brush against death in their sleep. This is one of Shirley's valuable life experiences.
She left the soft and comfortable bed, got up and changed her clothes, and at this moment, a sound of brisk footsteps came from outside the door.
"Shirley! Are you awake? I heard something!"
It's Nina's voice.
Shirley was startled for a moment, then quickly agreed: "I'm awake."
The door was pushed open, and Nina, wearing a white shirt, short coat and light brown plaid skirt, appeared at the door. She immediately saw Shirley, who had just changed clothes, with a smile on her face, and then walked over quickly: "
You really slept for a long time! How do you feel now? Does your back still hurt? How is the wound... Let me see, let me see..."
"The consumption was a bit heavy, so I slept for a long time... I'm fine, really," Shirley awkwardly dodged the overly enthusiastic Nina, but her usually extremely powerful dodge and resistance in front of Nina failed.
She seemed to have no strength, and finally she turned around obediently and asked Nina to check the injuries on her back and arms, "They are just minor injuries. I... have a strong ability to recover, and... hey, it's so itchy.
,Don’t say…it’s itchy haha…”
"Everything is really healed!" Nina finally let go of Shirley, who had started to jump and dodge to the side. She looked at her friend in surprise, as if she was observing some rare creature, "Last night
There was such a big wound when you were young, and now it has not only disappeared, but not even a scar was left...how did you do it?"
"Didn't I tell you that I live in symbiosis with the deep demon, and Agou's characteristics are his strong body and regeneration ability," Shirley adjusted her dress - the dress she wore yesterday had been destroyed in the battle, and she was now wearing
This was another old piece of clothing she brought from home, and it was one of the only belongings she rescued after the attack. "Actually, my regeneration ability can be stronger, but Agou said I have a lot of nutrition."
If it is defective, the regeneration ability will be compromised..."
"Then you should have a good meal here. Uncle's cooking is so good now," Nina said immediately, and then she was a little curious, "Well... all people like you... I mean, people who live in symbiosis with deep demons
,Are they all so powerful?"
"It depends on what kind of demon you are symbiotic with - the Dark Hound brings you toughness and regeneration, as well as a certain enhancement of your perception. Regenerating with the Terror brings you willpower and resistance to mental pollution. In addition, there are various other
There are all kinds of demons, I can’t explain them clearly...anyway, the symbionts of the deep demons are extraordinary beings with the most chaotic abilities. In order to be able to move in the real dimension, those demons have always been very generous to their symbionts..."
At this point, Shirley suddenly paused, her expression became serious, and she looked into Nina's eyes: "To put it bluntly, I suggest you not to get too involved in this field... You should already know that, under normal circumstances
Those who coexist with the deep demons below are all lunatics from the Annihilation Sect. They are different from me, and their demons are also different from Agou."
"I know, I know, I'm not a child," Nina waved her hands quickly, but still couldn't hide her curiosity, "But have you seen other demonic symbionts? I mean those Annihilation believers..."
"I haven't seen them, and I don't want to see them. It's disgusting enough to hear Agou's description. If I see them, I will definitely beat them up and then report them to the Sheriff," Shirley said, frowning, "
Nina, you have a lot of questions today... You didn't ask so many questions when you saw Agou before, and you don't have to go to school today?"
"You are going to live in my house from now on, and of course you have to get to know you better. But I heard from my uncle that your house was destroyed by the gas explosion, and you will have no place to go in the future..." Nina looked serious.
As he said that, he took Shirley's hand and walked out, "Besides, school is on holiday. How about the nearly two-month holiday? Don't you know?"
"I didn't know, I never went to school..." Shirley muttered subconsciously, and was dragged out of the door by Nina, heading towards the kitchen where the aroma of food was wafting. She noticed that the entire second floor was quiet.
Quietly, I couldn't help but feel a little curious, "Isn't Mr. Duncan here?"
"Uncle went to the first floor and said he wanted to entertain someone. Let's eat on the second floor first," Nina explained. She pulled Shirley to the kitchen door, but then she seemed to think of something and quickly pulled Shirley along.
Walking towards the bathroom, "Ah, by the way, wash your hands. You have to wash your hands before eating, otherwise uncle will be nagging again."
"Oh...oh." Shirley was dragged around by Nina in a daze. She didn't know whether it was because she was hungry or because she slept for too long. She felt dizzy, but...this feeling
Seems pretty good too.
At the same time, next to the counter on the first floor of the antique store, Duncan was explaining something in detail to the person opposite him. Sitting opposite him was a man wearing an exquisite and elegant long dress, a thin plaid veil, and long golden hair.
A young lady with beautiful hair and dignified appearance.
Dignified and beautiful blonde lady (×)
It’s Alice wearing a wig(√)
"...That's pretty much it. There is a lot of common sense that you need to know to live in human society, but as long as you understand the most basic parts, it is enough for your current scope of activities, and you have to do what you need to do in this store
There are very few things to do, just familiarize yourself with the simplest things first, such as cleaning and organizing shelves." Duncan finally finished explaining the things to pay attention to here, but he still looked at the blond girl who was sitting upright in front of him with uneasiness.
"...do you still remember everything I taught you on the ship?"
"Remember, remember!" Alice nodded vigorously, but as soon as she nodded twice, she seemed to remember something, so she quickly reduced her nod, and nodded slightly in a very dignified and elegant manner, "Don't worry, I remember it clearly!"
"Yes, the nod should be small. It seems that at least you have remembered this." Duncan exhaled, then glanced at Alice and confirmed every detail.
She covered her original silver hair with a golden wig, put on a little makeup to adjust the details of her appearance, and covered the lower half of her face with a veil. She wore long silk gloves on her hands, and she also wore a special lace decoration on her neck.
neck ring to cover its special joint details.
Basically everything that can be camouflaged is camouflaged.
Of course, if someone who really knows the Frost Queen Leigh Nora very well is standing here, or someone who has personally observed Anomaly 099 up close, I am afraid that this "blonde haired person" can still be seen from the details of his eyebrows.
The appearance of "Girl" is suspicious, but the probability is almost negligible.
The Frost Queen was already half a century ago, and it is almost impossible for anyone who has had close contact with Anomaly 099 to still be alive.
Ordinary people, even the guardians of the church, would definitely not recognize that Alice at this moment was the out-of-control cursed doll.
Duncan couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.
In fact, he originally planned to wait for a while before letting Alice come to the human city-state to "see the world". He planned to leave a few more days for the doll to make up for her lessons on the ship, but he couldn't bear it and this guy just lay on the side of the ship when he had nothing to do.
Looking at the sad look in the distance and muttering about nothing, he still moved the time a little earlier.
However, within the scope of his ability, he still gave this guy some urgent common sense and instilled the most basic "three normal views" into her. I guess... it should be enough.
perhaps.
Now Nina and Shirley were having dinner upstairs. He took a moment to let Ai Yi bring the dolls from the boat to the store to familiarize themselves with the environment. The first thing Alice did when she got here was to touch and look around curiously.
It took a lot of effort to "push" this guy to the counter, but even so, he could still see that the doll's attention was almost completely not on his preaching.
She began to look around again. Although she tried her best to maintain an upright posture, her eyes that were wandering around and her neck that moved around could not be concealed from others.
Putting the dignified and elegant sitting posture and the restless eyes together, Duncan can only say that he is indeed Alice - elegance and naivety can actually appear in a superimposed state at the same time in one person...
After looking around for a while, her attention finally returned to Duncan, with unconcealed concern and... curiosity in her eyes.
