In the cold weather of the twelfth lunar month, I couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. Perhaps I am indeed a troublesome guy. This attribute has been deeply engraved in my destiny: even if I occasionally spend a day at home with the children, I will encounter the world. The unlucky guy in the doomsday is probably talking about himself.
"Ding Dang, please confirm again to see if the leaf is buried too far away, or you have found the wrong place. This yard is full of your power, and it is very likely that the connection between you and the leaf will be disturbed." I Hastily said to Ding Dong, and then turned to An Weena, "Madiwen is gone too? When did you disappear?"
"I didn't see it at noon yesterday." An Weina floated lightly in mid-air, and the snow huā passed directly through her body and fell to the ground. It seemed that she had completely entered the phantom state. "I thought it was going to the sky. Practice flying. Madison's body grows too fast, so she needs to start learning to fly in advance. It is different from normal crows, and the way of flying has to be explored by itself. Not long ago, it learned how to wave its wings. In the past two days, it often Fly out to play. But it is usually very careful, and it will go behind the clouds that humans can't see... Ah, let alone this, the important thing is that it didn't come home last night! I can't feel its energy residue in the bird's nest, and it didn't come Say good morning to me!"
"Is there any connection between these two things?" My sister already knew that Mai Diwen didn't return all night, and just now she ran into Ding Dong who was looking for leaves in a panic, and she suddenly became worried. Wen took it away?"
"Should... no..." I couldn't help but become suspicious. "A crow, shaving leaves from the soil and then absconding with stolen goods? What is it up to? And Madison is a crow that listens to Anwena very much, it will not leave without saying goodbye like this."
"It's definitely related." Lin Xue also came over at some point. She was also holding a black feather in her hand. The color of the feather looked like that of a crow, but it was bigger than any crow feather I had ever seen. It has a dark blue metallic luster, and its edges are as sharp as a blade. And if you look closely, you can even see a dark cloud of energy spinning slowly at the base of its feathers. This is Madison's feathers. It fell before. This feather tells me that the young crow god took the jingle blade, but it is only a feather. There is very little information linkage. I can see that the crow is producing some kind of Big change, but ... what it will look like is not known. There is too much uncertainty in it."
I looked into Lin Xue's eyes, and there was a mysterious white halo in her eyes: "What else? Will it come back? Can you see where it is?"
Lin Xue narrowed her eyes slightly: "It will be back soon, and it is very healthy. This is not a bad thing, but Ding Dong may lose her leaf... I just saw a very powerful scene. Guess what happened to that leaf gone?"
I shook my head inexplicably, but from the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw Sandora walking towards me, and I was immediately blessed to my heart: "Eat?!"
... Guess how this word was suddenly associated with me? All right. Don't guess, don't tell Sandora...
The corner of Lin Xue's mouth twitched: "You will be quick to answer - that's right, Madison ate that leaf." As she spoke, she walked half a circle around the uncle and pointed to a snow-covered grass field: " Right here. Madison accidentally planed out the leaf yesterday morning. Its habit of being a bird has not changed yet, but the leaf of the Goddess of Life seems to be very attractive to it, so it eats the leaf gone."
An Weena was a little dazed, and asked cautiously: "Isn't Mai Diwen not eating? It never eats food..."
"What if it's just for evolution?" Sandora's voice sounded from the side, "It's just that it hasn't eaten since it was born, it doesn't mean it can't eat—and I've always insisted that a creature that can't eat is incomplete of… "
We collectively ignored the second half of Sandora's sentence, and then expressed various possibilities for the first half of her sentence.
"Is this the end for Dingdang's leaves?" The little one jumped on my shoulder with a thud, and said with a sad face, "Did the leaves that Dingdang changed for the first time be eaten like this?"
Immediately, I was one head and two big, and I thought, okay, the real trouble here has just begun. If what Lin Xue saw is not bad (this is almost inevitable), then Madiwen is at ease He greatly improved his food, but swallowed Ding Dong's most precious leaves. Although in my opinion, that thing is as useless as the baby tooth that was replaced for the first time, it means a lot to Jingle: the little thing was planted in the soil very carefully.
Although she completely forgot about it within a few days after planting it in the soil...
"I think we should find that bird first." Bingtis gave Ding Dong a sympathetic look, "There's nothing you can do with the little leaves, but I don't think you need to be too disappointed, the leaves of the goddess of life can continue to regenerate, at most 50,000 years later Plant it again. And they basically take three minutes to do everything, including planting their own leaves. After ten days and half a month, they will not remember this matter."
Xiao Douding immediately jumped up on my shoulders, and gestured to protest, but after thinking about it, she sat down obediently and muttered: "It seems to be the same. Now, Ah Jun, Ding Dong is in a bad mood Okay, can I have two more toffees today?"
I felt a deep sense of powerlessness in my heart, and I said that even if I am lacking in heart, I don't want to be so obvious...
It may not be very easy to find Mai Diwen. If you lose an ordinary bird, you can say that it can't fly within the range of five districts and ten counties in the suburbs. The speed of sound is so simple, and it learned space jumping from Anveena a while ago. According to Anveena's calculation, if Madison wants to go all out, one day and night is enough for it to circle the earth more than three times, and the bird is still alive. It doesn't necessarily fly in which direction-where can I find it
True. We have experienced imperial agents, we have widely distributed floating probes in the atmosphere, and there are full-spectrum stealth satellites in space that can scan the whole world, but the premise of all of them is to know what Medivon has become now. Lin Xue's prophecy indicated that the crow was mutating, and the energy signature recorded during the previous physical examination was useless: we called the invisible satellite in orbit on the spot, but we couldn't find the crow's identity on the earth. energy response. After Sandora retrieved some monitoring data from yesterday, she discovered something. Several probes on the edge of the city have recorded Medivh's fleeting figure at Mach 135 (this definitely uses its newly learned spell. Or you can use it from aerodynamics can't explain this scientifically), after that the probe lost its presence. Madison is a special member of the first family, and it is a creature that can fly around, so under normal circumstances, our monitoring equipment in the atmosphere will not deliberately track its figure. If that weird crow god accidentally learns the invisibility skill, it will be really troublesome.
After a brief discussion, both Sandora and I thought that this matter was actually very dangerous: Madison is not very good at controlling her own power, but her growth rate obviously exceeds her self-control ability, and her current Shadow Breath is almost dead. Can kill a tank brigade head-on. Once out of control, the power is amazing. It is very smart, but its mind is no higher than that of a five or six-year-old human child, and it occasionally plays childish temper. Do you know what is the most dangerous thing in the world? Let me tell you, they are bear children. This kind of creature is the most unreasonable. The main purpose of their appearance is to destroy the world and drive their parents crazy. Today's Madison is equivalent to a bear child. And this brat can spit out shadow arrows that can burn through tanks, and is invulnerable at the same time...
Before, I sealed Medivon to turn it into an ordinary big bird outside of training, but now the seal is obviously invalid, probably because it produced a violent energy expansion after eating Ding Dong's leaves. Destroyed the simple "chain" set according to its original power.
A few little ones were still playing in the snow carefree in the yard, but we went back to the house to study the matter of finding birds.
Sandora first expressed her opinion: "Now I don't know what the bird has mutated into, so I can only investigate the places with strange energy reactions all over the world. As long as there are strange energy fluctuations in places, send people to check The situation, I have put the satellite online, and it is estimated that I will be able to draw a snapshot of the global energy in a while. Many of Madison's powers do not exist on the earth, such as shadow and arcane. Finding these energy hotspots can probably confirm Madison's position is gone."
"It's where it stayed." Lin Xue added, "That bird is still running around. I just saw it passing over the Alps...but that was yesterday afternoon. I'm observing these very close events There will be a time delay.”
I nodded to express my understanding. Although Lin Xue's power is strong, her limitations are not small, especially not suitable for the current situation. If Mai Diwen stayed in one place, she would definitely be seen by Lin Xue on the spot, but that bird was scurrying around the earth all the time, and Lin Xue was a little bit crazy. After all, it takes time and concentration to activate the prophecy , while Madison only needs to start and put in gear. This is equivalent to looking for a cat on the Xizhimen overpass with an astronomical telescope. If you can't find it, it is definitely not the fault of the telescope...
"Now those idle imperial soldiers have something to do again." Lin Xue sighed, "We need a team that is widely distributed on the earth, well-connected, understands the environment, and is extremely mobile to cooperate with satellites to capture Madison. Only one is the most suitable Candidates for... ”
I nodded very heavily: "That guy... who is going to get him out of the confinement room?"
Lin Xue was quite surprised: "Wow! Cicaro was caught? I saw him very active a while ago."
Sandora covered her face: "Two days ago, he had a big plan, but as soon as he went out, Lingmeng led more than 400 city management officers to hold him down: Lingmeng was getting paid that day, and he was in a period of excitement."
When the global satellite was launched to search for arcane and shadow reactions on the earth, Sikaro finally came out of the confinement room and saw the light of day again. He already knew the mission, so he led his most capable men in the shadow A swearing-in meeting was held in the outskirts of the city, and the scene was very spectacular. Sikaro's special operations team has its own special organization and uniforms when it performs missions on the earth. It is roughly divided into CD-ROM team, palmistry team, train ticket team, certificate-issuing team, old Chinese medicine team, and ancestral psoriasis treatment team, etc. A dozen teams. When we heard the news and rushed over, we saw at least tens of thousands of people standing in twelve square formations in the square. Every square formation was neatly dressed in black uniforms, Taoist uniforms, Chinese tunic suits, white coats or yellow vests. , I almost thought I was in Lanxiang...
These imperial soldiers are so boring when they are not fighting.
"Boss. Guaranteed to complete the task!" Sicaro expressed his determination to me with a red face, and his face was full of righteousness. If you said that he was going to blow up the bunker without subtitles, people would probably believe it. I was very interested in this guy's activities in the past two days, and asked curiously: "Reimu caught him two days ago? He got the stolen goods? What were you planning to do at that time?"
Cicaro's face was a bit embarrassed: "No... it's actually a legal business. I don't have any missions recently, so I want to go to Watch World to sell some local products, roast quail or something. I just learned how to roast quail from a shaman from Azeroth. Quail Craft"
I suddenly wondered: roast quail? It doesn't seem like a big mistake to sell this, and it's still in the outside world, which doesn't affect the order of Shadow City. Why is Lingmeng so excited
As a result, Cicaro added next sentence: "I plan to sell it at the entrance of the Great Wall Station. It's very cold there. I think hot food should be quite popular there. I originally contacted two people who can make beef noodles and planned to work together. Going and coming..."
Me: "..." You said that if the Antarctic scientific research group pushed the door one day. Seeing a barbecue stall and two noodle sellers at the entrance of the research station, will you be frightened? Reimu's attack was still light!
All in all, Cicaro and his gang of veterans finally had something to do. That afternoon, he and his most capable group of subordinates were ordered to go to Europe to find Madison (according to Lin Xue's observation, Madison stayed in Europe The longest time, there are more clues, and it is even possible that it has not left: maybe there is something in Europe that attracted the attention of the bird), visually, you can see five birds at the gate of the Louvre before 3:30 tomorrow afternoon. A system disk for one yuan.
That's when it dawned on me that sometimes the things that make you scratch your head don't have to be catastrophes like the end of the world. It is also quite troublesome for some inconspicuous little guys to really lose control. No matter how powerful Madison was, she was still an underage crow god, and she was nothing more than a bird without the word god, but after it got lost so suddenly, it caused quite a bit of confusion. Several groups of Imperial soldiers have been dispatched to search for a giant crow without attracting the attention of ordinary people. When they met on the street, they all greeted each other like this: "Oh, are you looking for a bird?"
Then the other side nodded: "Well, the bird is gone."
If the two female soldiers are okay, if the two male soldiers meet, at least a dozen uncles and aunts will be surrounded by the roadside with such a greeting... Later, I asked Cicaro, who was in charge of this matter, to make an emergency call for my soldiers. Meeting, hunting for birds is best not mentioned on the street...
However, I am quite optimistic about the disappearance of Madison. With so many people looking for it, we still have such advanced detection equipment. Not too difficult. The only urgency about this matter is that you don't know when that bird will cause disaster. An Weina said it well: it was just a child, its personality was equivalent to that of a four or five-year-old human child, and it had never been far away from home before, even when practicing flying, it only hovered over the old city for a while , such a childish divine bird who has never left home suddenly circled the earth several times and got lost outside...
Frightened children are the most likely to have accidents, especially those children who are less powerful than nuclear bombs.
In the afternoon, we collected a lot of information. Although we still haven't found Medivon, we have found many traces of its activities one after another: a large area of scorched earth left by the Shadow Storm was found in the Alps, half of the Andes Four or five wandering crow spirits appeared on the mountainside, and the approximately three square kilometers of Gobi in the central area of Taklamakan was covered with glass. A plasma storm was apparently encountered there, and some primitive tribes in Africa were "inspired by the gods." After contacting their chief, the scouts confirmed that they saw a giant crow with a wingspan of at least 100 meters and was lifted up in the sky by thunder and storms. The crow hovered over the village where the primitive tribe lived for a few minutes, and then The space jump left there: In the worst case, Madison has mastered space magic proficiently, and it is many times stronger than before. Let's say this by the way: Those imperial soldiers who went to the primitive tribes in Africa to sell new diet and weight loss treatments are really fucking talented...
Within 24 hours, Madison has left traces of her activities all over the world, and a small number of activities have been witnessed by ordinary people, but it seems that it still remembers the education of Anveena and me, that crow is absolutely Most of the activities are in the mountains and other inaccessible places, as if it is trying to hide itself as much as possible.
What's strange is that we still couldn't catch it even though Madiwen was active so frequently. All the imperial soldiers rushed to nothing. The traces of Madiwen's activities they found were all left at least six hours ago. That is to say, the whole world failed to find any signs of Madison's activities in the past six hours. Including our satellite scans and atmospheric probe reports are the same results.
"It may really have learned to hide skills." After reading a lot of reports in the living room, Sandora said helplessly, "I said a long time ago that some skills cannot be taught to it in advance. As a mutant species, everything learned It should be done step by step.”
Anveena looked worried: "But since it learned how to surf the Internet, it has downloaded the Dalaran Encyclopedia of Magic in the XL navigation..."
