Hearing that Vivienne was going to be brought with him, Hao Ren's heart skipped a beat, and his intuition told him that Raven 12345 really had something important to tell him this time. So without wasting time, he stuffed Doudou into his clothes and prepared to teleport to the "Heaven" with Vivian.
"Bring the egg," reminded the data terminal while opening the door, "Be careful, don't crush it!"
Hao Ren held the "mermaid egg" carefully. He intended to put it in his pocket, but he was afraid of accidentally crushing it, so he just held it in his hand in the end: "Let's go, we are going through the portal anyway." .”
The two came to the "Heavenly Kingdom" with a fish. For the first time, Raven 12345 actually stood at the door to greet them in person this time. Hao Ren pulled Vivian and walked up quickly, showing the mermaid egg in his hand: "This is what Doudou laid just now."
Raven 12345 took the little egg with an expression of great interest. It was as exquisite and delicate as a work of art, with a fragility and delicacy that made people tremble. Opening: "Those who can't hatch anything."
"I know," Hao Ren nodded, "I've never heard that mermaids can reproduce parthenogenetically. I just want to know if this is normal? Or is Doudou precocious?"
"I still have to check." Raven 12345 turned and walked towards the door. "This kind of mermaid is not on my list of creations, but it doesn't take too much trouble to check."
Hao Ren and Vivian followed Raven into the bungalow. They turned a few corners in the long corridor and finally came to a smaller lounge. Raven 12345 waved his hand and summoned an oval silver plate from midair, signaling Hao Ren to put the little mermaid on the plate.
The plate has a wonderful characteristic. The temperature and hardness of the plate changed the moment Doudou touched its surface. The little guy stretched his tail and stretched comfortably after lying on it, and then lay down obediently. . Looking at the plate, Hao Ren always felt that its shape was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell where this immediate feeling came from.
Raven 12345 stared at Doudou for a while, and didn't know what to think. Suddenly, he found a few slices of coriander and green onion from nowhere and put them next to the little guy. Hao Ren didn't know what to do until the circle of vegetable leaves surrounded him. After waking up, he said, "Fish dish?"
"Hey, I'll go. I'm used to it!" Raven 12345 hastily removed the parsley and green onions, and coughed twice in embarrassment. "Ahem, wait a moment, I'll check."
As she spoke, a mysterious silver-white halo appeared in her eyes, and Doudou was immediately attracted by this light, and she entered a state of ecstasy when she watched. Hao Ren stopped talking after seeing that the goddess sister really started to do business, and backed away a little with Vivian.
"Landlord," Vivian touched Hao Ren's arm. "What do you think the goddess called me here for?"
Hao Ren lowered his voice: "It should be about your continuous split, and maybe it has something to do with the goddess."
Vivienne groaned, lowered her head and stopped talking, not knowing what she was thinking.
Raven 12345's inspection didn't last long, and soon the light in her eyes gradually faded, and Doudou returned to her usual alert state. After Hao Ren noticed it, he stepped forward nervously and asked, "How's the situation?"
"Everything is normal," Raven 12345 nodded, "This is a normal development process. Due to the harsh living environment of this kind of mermaid, the offspring often have congenital defects due to environmental disturbance during the hatching process. Therefore, as soon as they leave the larval stage will 'test' all of their own functions, and if any function is faulty, they will stop developing. In their homeland, this means dying soon - so that they can leave sufficient resources for other healthy individuals. However, bean The hatching process and growth of the beans will be fine with your care. The little one is healthy, she just did a 'self-check'."
"There's this kind of thing..." Hao Ren opened his mouth, once again lamenting the complexity of "life" and the completely different environmental structure of each world, "Then she will... uh, lay eggs in the future?"
"It won't happen until she reaches adulthood," Raven 12345 shook her head. "That will take many years. Now that she has completed the inspection of all her functions, she will grow up healthy and fast all the way."
"Then what to do with this egg?" Hao Ren pointed to the mermaid egg placed next to Doudou. The little guy seemed completely unaware of what this thing meant to her. She just looked at the little ball curiously, occasionally poking it lightly with her finger: at least she knew it was brittle.
"It loses its activity very quickly. After all, it is only a test object, and it may only survive for a few hours. But it is a memorable thing for Doudou, so I think something should be done..."
Raven 12345 thought while talking, then clapped his hands, picked up the mermaid egg and began to inject magic power into it. She saw a cloud of silvery white light floating on her fingertips, and a crystal-like crystal-like thing quickly condensed around the mermaid egg. When the white brilliance gradually dissipated, Raven 12345 had a small and lovely pendant in his hand. The pendant was shaped like a teardrop gemstone with a light blue luster, and the gemstone was inlaid with mermaid eggs. : It really is a work of art at the moment.
Raven 12345 got another rope to tie the pendant, and solemnly hung it around Doudou's neck: "Let me be a talisman for you."
Hao Ren: "..."
Vivian stuck out her tongue quietly: "I always feel that I should say something, but I don't know what to say."
Doudou curiously fiddled with this pendant, which was too big for her, and soon became happy. She patted her tail and said politely to Raven 12345: "Thank you!"
Although she didn't know what the pendant could do, she thought it was very beautiful, like a drop of water.
"My daughter is well educated," Raven 12345 nodded approvingly.
"It's not easy to lose this thing." Hao Ren thought of going elsewhere. "She swims in the water all day long, and the things hanging on her body will always be thrown to nowhere."
"It's okay, I added a positioning function to the pendant, and if it is thrown off by the little guy, it can fly back immediately. In fact, the main feature of this pendant is that it can be positioned..." Raven 12345 smiled while talking, "Of course , even so it is still an artifact: after all, it was made by my mother herself.”
Hao Ren was speechless. He felt that the most useless artifact in the world had finally been born: from the hands of a true god, it was an artifact full of gold content wherever it was thrown, and its only function was to carry a GPS. Gained the title of artifact!
"After talking about Doudou, let's talk about more serious things." Raven 12345 handed the little mermaid to Hao Ren, and his eyes finally fell on Vivian, "Come with me, I'll show you some thing."
Vivian and Hao Ren exchanged glances involuntarily, then nodded at the same time.
The place Raven 12345 wants to take them to is the "warehouse".
The warehouse is located in a special space, so naturally it is impossible to go there on foot, so Raven 12345 snapped its fingers. Hao Ren and Vivian felt a flash of light in front of them. When they opened their eyes again, they found that they were standing in an unusually wide area. in the interior space.
Rows of neat pillars stretched out in front of their eyes. Except for the mysterious decorations on the pillars and the faintly visible magic patterns on the ground, the overall structure here reminds people of an open underground parking lot. It looked quite empty here. Hao Ren didn't know why the goddess sister brought him to such an empty place, but soon he knew the reason.
Raven 12345 opened a part of the "storage space", so between the two rows of pillars closest to Hao Ren and Vivian, the air fluctuated slightly like the surface of water, and there were more than 20 rows of ripples appearing. Crystal containers in two rows.
The crystal container looked like some kind of special dormant facility, and through its translucent surface one could clearly see what was inside. Hao Ren immediately stepped forward: "This is..."
Sleeping in each crystal container is a Vivienne—the red-haired version.
Vivienne looked at all this in a daze. After seeing her "split body" for the first time, she had already imagined that there would be more similar individuals scattered in the world, but she never imagined One day I will meet these splinters in such a shocking way. More than twenty split bodies were arranged in front of her like some kind of dark scientific experiment or weird ritual, sleeping with exactly the same face, and she felt a kind of creep gradually pervading from the depths of her heart.
"I dare not say all of them, but most of them should be here." Raven 12345's voice woke Hao Ren and Vivian from their stunned state. (to be continued~^~)
