For some unknown reason, after he unexpectedly agreed to Lina's rude request at the dinner table, everyone looked at Luo Ling with heated eyes, as if they were all ready to make a move.
Even Luo Ling didn't know what she was thinking, so she proposed to satisfy everyone's wish once within her ability.
As long as Luo Ling can do it within his ability, he can make any request.
Luo Ling was even prepared for the possibility that Lina would do something similar to the first one to her. When she was thinking about how to tactfully reject such a request, Miss Knight's expression suddenly became serious, contrary to her usual style.
With a hint of sadness, she expressed her wish to find the remains of all her teammates and at least leave a burial place for them.
Only Luo Ling can do this, because only she can completely ignore the "Realm of Nothingness" and step into it with almost no restrictions.
Lina had never brought it up before because Luo Ling was always busy. This was just a trivial matter that was insignificant to her, but it required her to take up a lot of time. Lina couldn't bring herself to bring it up no matter what, so she kept putting it off.
Until Luo Ling took the initiative to bring it up, Lina's first thought was to let the former members of the "Hunting" team rest in peace.
In the end, four inconspicuous small graves were buried forever under the "Starry Victoria", not far away was the place where Frick and Lin Jianming were finally killed.
Lina turned around and hugged the petite Luo Ling, but her movements were extremely gentle, and she half-knelt at the same time, performing the knight's oath.
Luo Ling's body stiffened slightly, but she quickly suppressed the ominous memories that kept welling up in her heart, opened her arms, and gently hugged Miss Knight back.
At the same time, Luo Ling noticed Aunt Fiona standing in the corner watching this scene. There seemed to be some tears in Fiona's eyes, but there was a smile of happiness and satisfaction on the corner of her mouth.
Elsa's wish was frighteningly simple. After careful consideration and struggle for a long time, she suggested that Luo Ling should not hide from her when he left his real body in the kingdom of God, but he could hide from other people.
In other words, during the time when Luo Ling's consciousness was out of his body, he completely handed his body over to Elsa's care.
Luo Ling didn't care about this. If she gave it to anyone else, she would definitely be unwilling to do it, especially Miss Lina.
But Erza is different. She often sleeps with her in the Twintails Team's apartment, so she is trustworthy.
After moving to the Victoria Opera House in "Starry Victoria", Elsa basically never appeared in Luo Ling's bed again. As the rooms here were very small and simple, they could not accommodate two people living together, so they were forced to separate.
Elsa was full of resentment about this, but she never complained out loud because she didn't want to affect everyone because of her little habit.
Now that she has this opportunity, Elsa still has many small wishes to fulfill, but after a difficult decision, she finally chose this thing.
What little Elsa wanted most was to be able to see Miss Luo Ling sleeping every time she opened her eyes, and then happily enjoy the softness and warmth brought by her body temperature.
Elsa's request was originally planned by Luo Ling, so after careful consideration, Luo Ling felt that he should give Elsa one more chance to choose her wish.
Or you could say that this was Luo Ling's preference.
However, after getting another chance, little Elsa frowned tightly again, saying that it was too difficult to choose, and hid in the room, counting on her fingers, and did not come out again. It is estimated that she will have to struggle for a while.
Even if Stasha didn't say it, Luo Ling could guess what her wish was.
At the edge of the grove at the foot of Mount Gaulding in "Starry Victoria", Stasha pushed Alyssa's wheelchair and strolled along the edge of the grove, with Luo Ling following behind them not far behind.
Until Stasha turned around, looking puzzled,
"Ms. Luo Ling, why are you walking so far back?"
"... I won't disturb you sisters. I'll just watch from a distance." Luo Ling said softly.
"But..." Stasha suddenly smiled, "You were also my 'sister'."
A breeze blew by, blowing away the petite girl's silver hair.
There seemed to be something slightly touched in her gray eyes. After a moment, her childish and cold voice sounded again.
"Don't you think that I have been pretending to be your sister to deceive you... This is too much?"
Even Luo Ling herself found it difficult to contain her anger the moment she learned that her sister was the true body of Puppet Yao. Only after she numbly sent her sister away did subsequent emotions come in waves.
"Ms. Luo Ling, how could you have such an idea..."
Stasha burst out laughing. She found that Miss Luo Ling was really like a child sometimes, always holding some naive and simple ideas.
She stopped, looked up at the starry sky, and a hint of happiness appeared on the corners of her mouth.
"In fact, I have always been contented. Although my life then and now are completely different, I like them both very much."
Even after witnessing the truth of the world and experiencing the cruelest things in the world, Stasha is still the same as she used to study late into the night in the ruins of the slums.
Her world is not big and she doesn't want much. Just her sister and a safe little corner, that's all.
"Besides, my wish is to watch the starry sky with fireflies again with my sister, just like in the past." Stasha blinked, with a bit of mischief, "You are also my 'sister', Miss Luo Ling, this is also part of my wish."
"But I'm younger than you..."
A hint of hesitation appeared on Luo Ling's little face.
"Hey," Stasha trotted over, took Luo Ling's hand, and said, "Just treat me as a little 'sister'. I think that's the right thing to do."
"Yeah?"
Luo Ling raised her head slightly and looked at Stasha, who was almost a head taller than her at this time, and let her lead her forward to Alyssa's wheelchair.
"Look, my sister is smiling too."
Stasha let go of Luo Ling's hand and continued to push Alyssa's wheelchair.
At this moment, the corners of Alyssa's mouth did curl up a little. During this period of time, her consciousness had been gradually recovering. From being able to express some vague thoughts to now being able to slightly control her body, it only took a short period of time.
Looking at the pair of sisters, Luo Ling's eyes were filled with indescribable envy.
“It was… right here.”
Stasha stopped walking, she looked up at the sky, raised her hand slightly, as if she wanted to grab something, her eyes were full of memories.
"I will never forget that scene."
In an instant, the sky was filled with flying fireflies. These were not the fakes that Luo Ling had made with mycelium last time, but real fireflies.
Coincidentally, "Starry Victoria" is in February.
Three figures were standing above the earth, looking up at the sky. Endless fireflies were circling slowly, shining brightly against the stars in the sky.
The scenery is beautiful.
But, the people who see the scenery are more beautiful.
Stasha turned her head slightly and saw that Miss Luo Ling was already immersed in this beautiful scene. She couldn't help but chuckle and asked,
"Ms. Luo Ling, do you know... why I want you to come here even though there are already fireflies here?"
The method that Luo Ling used last time to create a sky full of fireflies using mycelium and spores is actually very difficult to achieve technically. Even if Stasha and Alyssa can use the power of Puppet Song, they can't do the same as Luo Ling.
"Why?"
Luo Ling turned his head blankly and looked at Stasha, but what he saw was some indescribable emotion deep in the other's eyes.
"Because, that's the memory I have with you." Stasha leaned down slightly and gently touched Luo Ling's forehead like a dragonfly touching water, "And now, it has become a memory for the three of us."
From the initial hesitation and confusion to now, Stasha knows that she has always been well protected by her two sisters.
All her efforts were to repay her sister.
Even if it is just for this beautiful and short moment, it is enough.
Just as Luo Ling was stunned, she found her fingers being gently pinched.
Turning around, Alyssa was looking up and uttering a few words with difficulty.
"happiness... "
What she wanted to say was.
At this moment, she is already very happy and does not need to fulfill any wishes.
In other words, the only wish of this devout nun, who had suffered a lot in her life, was to experience everything she is experiencing now after her resurrection from the dead.
All of her small and pitiful wishes had already been realized by Luo Ling.
"Yes." Luo Ling approached Alyssa in the wheelchair and wiped away the tears from her eyes. "I know everything."
"Alyssa... Sister..."
The fireflies gradually faded, leaving only the stars shining brightly.
When Luo Ling found Fiona, she was cleaning the house.
Even though there are many convenient ways to easily clean the entire house, even if Luo Ling doesn't do it, Fiona has a lot of tools that can do it. At worst, it's easy to get a sweeping robot.
However, if she has extra free time, Fiona is happy to use a broom and rag to clean slowly by hand.
Because when she was in the "Fate Society", Fiona, as a major constellation, was always very busy and didn't have many opportunities to clean the room peacefully like this.
At a time as rare as retirement, doing so could give Fiona some peace of mind.
"Aunt Fiona, do you have any wishes that you need me to fulfill?" Luo Ling asked directly.
"A wish?" Fiona paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "My wish has been fulfilled, Miss Luo Ling."
"Eh, when?" Luo Ling was stunned for a moment, "A long time ago, or..."
"Just now," Fiona said, wiping the rag across the window with a gurgling sound. "Just now... I got the scene I always dreamed of. I have no regrets in this life."
"ah?"
Luo Ling was confused. She really couldn't remember what special she had just done for Aunt Fiona.
"If I must have a wish," Fiona put down the rag, wiped her hands, turned around and said, "let me touch your hair, Miss Luo Ling."
"Is it that simple?"
A look of doubt flashed across Luo Ling's face.
"It's that simple." Fiona gently stroked Luo Ling's little head, showing a slightly satisfied look, "How about you become my daughter?"
"This... Let's forget it."
Luo Ling twitched the corner of his mouth.
“What a pity.”
Having said that, Fiona didn't show any regret at all.
She enjoys her current life very much. Even her mentality as an old lady has become more serious and she is becoming more and more like a retiree.
It sounds long, but in fact, compared to the outside world, it was only a few short days, because Luo Ling was delayed for some time when searching for relics in the "Realm of Nothingness".
The situation in Victoria today has become increasingly serious. The most pressing issue is the "White Witch's indiscriminate massacre." Nearly seven hundred awakened people have died at the hands of her and her minions, including Cen Xiangyun and others who had luckily escaped a few days ago.
Mainly because the young man was seriously injured, the old man was restrained by the philosopher, and the woman was also preparing for the collapse of the boundary, and had no time to take care of these things.
The "White Witch" is only killing a few awakened ones now. If other matters go wrong, the whole Victoria will fall.
Because of this, all the order-side awakeners in Victoria were in danger for a while. Even going out to buy water required the company of a high-level awakener. Most of them were concentrated in the various offices of the "company".
The office is protected by a P9-level director who holds a powerful ritual vessel, and there is also a barrier that has been carefully laid out over the years, so it is difficult for the "White Witch" to extend her claws.
Even so, the number of awakened people in Victoria has dropped by more than 70%.
On the other hand, the "Pioneer" plan is continuing in full swing.
With the "Theologians" restraining the forces of order, and the sharp decline in the number of awakened people, all the actions of the "Pioneers" were not affected in any way.
It was unprecedentedly smooth, with no obstacles along the way. After a long time, the final plan was finally set up.
Even if the directors of the "company" took action personally at this moment, it would be difficult to stop it.
At this time, Alyssa also received the message from the educator, and she immediately transferred it to Luo Ling for arrangements.
"You can stop now, 'Theologian.'" The educator's voice, which was pretending to be calm, was filled with uncontrollable joy. "Our plan has been a complete success.
"Next, it will be our moment of advancement and the beginning of our journey to godhood."
Chapter 87: Muddy Waters (6k)
Luo Ling was not surprised at all that Alyssa received the news from the educator at this time. Instead, she felt it was a little late.
All the preparations for the religious leader's promotion ceremony were not in vain. In addition, after completely defeating the young man, the "Company" no longer had the direct fighting power to make the final decision.
Originally, even if the young man was unfortunately seriously injured, the forces on the order side were not without the ability to fight. Including the company, there were more than twenty high-level strong men who mastered the powerful sacrificial instruments.
But the problem is... Alyssa, the theologian in the eyes of the "Pioneers" and the White Witch Apostle in the eyes of the "Company", has taken action.
Working together with Knight Miss Lina, their combat power is simply a dimensionality reduction attack on low-level teams. Even if it is a relatively powerful single-word team, as long as there is no high-level existence who masters the power sacrificial instrument in the team, they are no match for Lina and her group.
Each battle only takes three or four minutes to resolve, and then escape into the kingdom of God.
When the support team arrived at full speed, all they saw was a horrifying scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
In such a heavy and high-pressure environment, let alone stopping the layout of the "Pioneers", the various forces and offices are already stretched to the limit in protecting the awakened people under their command, and they cannot spare any extra energy to deal with other matters.
