When Ask woke up, he opened his eyes and saw Xiaomia's face close to him.
If last year's Mia still had a girlish look on her face, now Mia has completed the initial transformation into a beautiful girl. Her eyelashes are long and curved, her nose is delicate and small, her lips are slightly open, exhaling a warm and humid breath.
Ask: …
He quietly pulled his hand out from under Mia's neck, silently said "I'm not a lolita complex" before climbing up from the mattress.
After eating a little of the food on the table next to him as breakfast, Ask sat down in a chair and looked around quietly.
He was waiting for the synth to come back.
Sure enough, about 5 minutes later, the door of the room opened.
"Good morning, visitor." The synth walked in. "Did you sleep well last night?"
"It's not very comfortable." Ask said with a wry smile.
The mental erosion of the abyss was everywhere, and it was even more intense at night. Last night, he had several nightmares in a row, so that he still felt a little groggy after waking up.
Of course, compared to the dangerous outside world, the research institute is undoubtedly much safer. Even at the risk of being eroded, Ask hopes to stay here as long as possible, waiting for rescue from the main plane... or let Mia master the Ripple Sword more deeply and find a way to teleport back.
"Normal." The Cape synthetic man replied, "There are diazepam tablets in the pharmacy. They are effective in treating phobia. You can come with me to get them."
"Okay." Ask nodded.
After following the synth for a while, Ask suddenly asked:
"What did this research institute study in the past?"
"Study how to resist the spiritual erosion of the abyss." The Cape synthetic replied.
"Oh." Ask didn't ask any more questions.
Arriving at the pharmacy, the synth took out three small medicine bottles, handed them to Ask and said:
"Take two tablets twice a day, and reduce the dosage by one tablet for minors, which can help alleviate the effects of fear."
"good."
When Ask was brought back to the room by the synth, he saw the two little girls were still sleeping soundly.
He sat down on the chair, and after a moment, he took out the three small medicine bottles given by the synth.
His intuition told him that taking the medicine inside would be slightly dangerous.
After thinking about it, he chose not to take it, but put the medicine away again.
—
Palermo, Chamber of Secrets.
"So the rumors in town are true?"
"It's absolutely true. I heard them discussing the abyss with my own ears."
"The Licinius family's envoys have already gone to Milan. The Watcher Organization has taken over their business orders and has begun purchasing equipment on a large scale."
The atmosphere of the meeting immediately became a little chaotic.
"Even so, what can we do?" Someone suddenly expressed his objection, pouring cold water on everyone, "Don't forget, there are no demigods in the Otwell family now."
"Even if they send out one demigod, or even both of them, can we defeat the Azure Sword right now? How many of the Northern Horn's troops are in our hands and can we use to fight the Sicilian guerrillas or even the Licinius family?"
