But there is one more thing.
"What did Elsa say?" Luo Ling asked curiously.
Elsa is her apostle... or God's chosen one, who can sense her existence in the dark and not think that she is dead.
"That short red-haired girl?" Fiona asked in surprise, "I remember it very clearly. She was the one who could not accept the reality the most. She kept saying things like 'Miss Luo Ling is not dead' and 'Miss Luo Ling must still be alive'... At that time we just thought that the girl was not mentally normal, but now it seems that she was right.
"However, because of this, she was diagnosed with hallucinations due to excessive grief, and has been staying in the apartment to recuperate recently."
"... ..."
Luo Ling rubbed his temples. It seemed that things had gotten a little serious this time.
But that's not her problem.
It’s all Naraku’s fault. It’s all Naraku’s fault.
"By the way, tomorrow is the day of your funeral. Because your body has not been found, they plan to build a cenotaph." Fiona continued, "Even the wreaths have been bought. Miss Cen said that this is the custom of your Eastern culture, and the guests must give one... I have prepared it too."
After saying that, she pointed to the wreaths in the corner that had not yet been sent out. In the middle was a black and white portrait of Luo Ling, with two long white papers hanging on both sides with two lines of words on them.
"Deeply mourn Miss Luo Ling" "Rest in peace Miss Luo Ling"
"I... "
Looking at this wreath that belonged to her, Luo Ling suddenly felt like swearing.
No matter who it is, when witnessing this scene, they would feel the same way, right
She turned her head and saw Fiona smiling at her.
"Anyway, welcome back, Miss Luo Ling."
Fiona said softly, opened her arms, and gently hugged Luo Ling again.
People in Western culture seem to like to use hugs as a courtesy, and so does Fiona's daughter Lina.
Until now, Fiona has not asked Luo Ling about this operation and Lina.
Perhaps in her opinion, being able to see Miss Luo Ling return safely is enough.
However, Luo Ling still had to fulfill her duties. As her first solo commission, the result must be worthy of the client.
She took the sacrificial vessel from behind and handed it to Fiona.
"In that 'realm of nothingness', I found this thing. I think you should know it."
"This is... "
Fiona's eyes widened, a look of disbelief on her face.
She took the musket tremblingly. This was a sacrificial instrument that she had personally customized according to her daughter Lina's abilities and characteristics. How could she forget it
The long-handled musket is covered with cracks, which shows how fierce the battle was in the hands of its owner.
Fiona gently stroked every scar on it, her loving eyes mixed with a little sadness, and the indescribable emotion couldn't help but reveal itself between her eyebrows.
It had been so long, and they were located at the center of the boundary collapse. She knew in her heart that Lina's hope of survival was very slim.
only...
As a mother, she didn't even know what her daughter had been through.
Both the "Company" and other awakened forces remained silent on the matter, including the "Sky Speakers".
Fiona went through a lot of trouble for this and got a favor from the "Sky Speaker" so that she could get news about Lina.
However, he was told by the "Sky Speaker" that this matter was a "taboo" and must not be disclosed. Even the opportunity to do a favor that could be exchanged for any transaction could not be used.
It was not until this time that Fiona finally got the only thing related to Lina in these years, which was also Lina's most precious personal weapon.
"Thank you, Miss Luo Ling."
"It's just a transaction, Ms. Fiona, don't take it too seriously."
"But thank you very much," Fiona raised her head, her gentle eyes full of gratitude, "it's you who allowed me to see Lina again."
Fiona and Lina are indeed mother and daughter. They look very similar, and even their expressions of gratitude are almost the same. The only difference is that Fiona is much more mature, while Lina still has some childishness of a girl.
"Perhaps... there is a possibility that Lina has not fallen yet."
After a moment's hesitation, Luo Ling couldn't help but say it.
She really couldn't bear to see a mother so sad, as it would make her think of her sister uncontrollably.
I was going to keep it a secret for Lina. Lina didn't seem to want to stand in front of her mother again in a strange identity, but...
I believe Lina has no objection to the decision she made without authorization.
However, Luo Ling still chose not to tell Fiona the truth about what happened in the "Purgatory" hatchery.
On the one hand, it is still impossible to completely determine the situation caused by "rewriting reality". On the other hand, Fiona's identity and status are rather special after all. She is one of the three high-ranking officials of the "Society of Destiny" and owns and can use a sacrificial vessel that seals "power".
Even if we look at the entire human world, it ranks among the best.
Fiona's every move involves a lot.
"What... "
Fiona was shocked at first when she heard this unbelievable news from Luo Ling, but her expression soon softened.
"Yes, I understand."
She didn't believe it.
"Maybe Miss Luo Ling just made up a white lie to comfort me." Fiona thought to herself.
You are so cute, Miss Luo Ling. Unfortunately, I am not a child anymore. An old aunt will not be comforted by such a clumsy lie.
The old lady has long accepted the cruel reality.
However, since Miss Luo Ling means well, it is better not to expose her.
"I'll wait for her to come back."
Fiona looked at Lina's belongings reluctantly. This was the only thing that allowed her to truly feel the presence of her daughter.
It was as if Lina was holding it not long ago.
Seeing that Fiona seemed to have calmed down a little because of the news, Luo Ling also breathed a sigh of relief.
She was able to bring some comfort to Lina's mother, and also slightly make up for the series of oolong events caused by her... Oh no, because of "Naraku".
The commission was issued by Fiona. I believe she has been under a lot of pressure during this period.
"By the way, Miss Luo Ling, do you need me to notify the 'company' so that Miss Cen and the others don't have to worry too much about your safety?" Fiona looked up and asked.
Luo Ling wanted to nod, but then he changed his mind and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind. He couldn't help but smile a little, with a rare cunning look on his face.
"No need for now, haha."
"Um?"
Fiona was stunned when she heard that, and then she saw the sly smile on Luo Ling's lips, and instantly realized what Luo Ling wanted to do.
A strange look appeared on her face. She didn't expect that Miss Luo Ling had such a dark side.
It made her know this girl a little better.
"How many chances do you have in your life to attend your own funeral in person?" Luo Ling blinked and chuckled, "How can you miss such a rare opportunity?"
"That's true. Even I have never encountered such an opportunity."
Looking at Luo Ling's smile, even Fiona couldn't help but look forward to the scene of the funeral tomorrow.
Surely... it will be exciting, right
Hope it's not too exciting...
However, Miss Luo Ling's appearance made her think of her daughter Lina.
"If Lina were still alive now, Miss Luo Ling, you would definitely get along well with her." Fiona sighed.
"Well, it's okay." Luo Ling nodded.
We just get along well, not particularly well.
Miss Lina actually has some sinister intentions.
However, Fiona did not think about Luo Ling's words. At this moment, her attention was all on Lina's relics in her hand.
After carefully taking the musket to the safest place in the office, Fiona turned around and asked,
"So, Miss Luo Ling, tonight..."
"Stay at the Victoria Opera House for now. I'll go to the funeral with you tomorrow." At this point, Luo Ling paused, "You should have an extra room here, right?"
"Of course," Fiona nodded slightly and replied, "Lina's room, I have been cleaning it, you can just move in."
"Okay... But, Ms. Fiona, I'm not your daughter, and you don't have to treat me as her."
Luo Ling always felt that Fiona treated her as her daughter Lina, intentionally or unintentionally.
It was fine before Luo Ling didn't know Lina, but after she got to know her... Whenever she thought of this, she would always have some very subtle feelings.
"Of course I know that." Fiona said with a smile, "But it's too polite to keep calling me 'Ms. Fiona'. If you don't mind, just call me auntie... There's no need to call me sister. I'm an old woman, but I'm not so shameless as to say that."
"... OK."
"By the way, here are Lina's pajamas and her usual clothes. You can take them with you."
Fiona casually took out a set of plush pajamas and a set of casual clothes and handed them to Luo Ling.
"Also, after working so hard for so long, it's time to take a good bath and wash off the dust of these days... Lina's room is equipped with a bathtub that she likes very much, you can use it directly."
"... ..."
Looking directly at Fiona's slightly expectant eyes, Luo Ling fell silent.
Still saying no!
... ...
The hot steam in the room blurred Luo Ling's vision. At this moment, she was completely immersed in the bathtub, and a pair of dark golden vertical pupils were faintly visible in the mist.
The slight bit of fair skin that was exposed above the water was covered with densely packed blue-black scales that gradually faded, spreading to the collarbone and covered with these terrifying features.
"I didn't expect that this time the situation of the demonization would be so bad..."
Luo Ling's fingers gently stroked the scales, and her fingertips felt a hard touch, and her skin also felt like it was being touched.
This means that these hideous and terrifying scales are also part of her body and are not external corrosive agents.
However, judging from these scales, her eyes, and even her sharp fangs, Luo Ling thought of some ancient legendary creature.
-"dragon"
However, even in the strange sequence, such a creature has never appeared, and the only corresponding records are vague mythological stories.
"The real me, could it be that I am really a dragon girl ranked in the weird sequence?"
This thought popped up in Luo Ling's mind. At first, he found it a little unbelievable, but after thinking about it carefully, it made some sense.
"Maybe the older sister knew, but she has no memory of it after that."
Luo Ling buried his head slightly below the water surface, gurgling bubbles in distress.
As expected, the elder sister is really irresponsible. She threw all these troubles to her younger sister and died herself...
We need to get her out again quickly and have a good talk with her.
However, things are not without progress. At least Luo Ling now knows what her true path is.
It's just too scary.
Even the "boundaries" can be "swallowed" completely...
No, I can't think any further.
Luo Ling calmed himself down and put these things behind him.
But...
It is really comfortable to soak in this large bathtub. Lina really knows how to enjoy herself.
Luo Ling raised her eyes slightly, looked around at everything, and curled her lips slightly.
Tsk, rich people are so abominable.
