Ever since I got out of the medical center, I've been a little dazed.
The previous scene was too bizarre—please forgive me for using words like "bizarre" to describe a beautiful girl's initiative to kiss, because if the other party is Lin Xue, this process can only be described as bizarre.
By the way, what kind of tendon did Immortal Lin twitch? Could it be that Miss Lin, who is usually the worst at dealing with herself, who regards complaining about me as her life goal and daily task, and who has repeatedly declared that she will have a never-ending class struggle with Mu Mu in this life, has been secretly in love with me, Mr. Chen
When I think of this possibility, I feel a shiver all over my body, I am too curious, this possibility is too curious, I would rather believe that the first Achukas in the world was killed by Taoist Zeratul than Lin Xue That violent lady has a crush on herself
But, if you think about it seriously, at that moment just now, it doesn't seem right that I didn't have any joy in my heart, and before that, I really didn't notice it at all... Uh, I can't think about it anymore, otherwise I will let Qianqian know about myself It will definitely be hunted down.
And after that sudden kiss, Lin Xue herself seemed to be avoiding it very much. No matter how I activated the "King's Gaze" (...), the girl just knew how to pretend to be stupid, wishing to announce immediately that she hit her head just now. Symptoms of amnesia occurred within fifteen minutes. Jesus told us that a woman’s heart is like a nail dropped from the Mariana Trench. Everyone who tried to explore the mystery basically drowned halfway. What's going on in Miss's mind.
Anyway, I took advantage of myself...
These thoughts were in a mess in my mind, and I didn't pay attention to where I went, until I suddenly bumped into a light body, and I was revived by the other party's exclamation.
"Oh-"
The girl walking towards me was directly knocked out by me.
What a scene of deja vu, and what a familiar slow exclamation just now.
The guy who can bring a delay sound when he exclaims, I am afraid that there is no other person in the whole world.
The girl knocked to the ground by me was wearing a light blue dress uniform of a store waiter. Her long silver hair was thrown to her forehead due to the imbalance of her master's center of gravity, covering half of her cheeks. This slow-moving girl was sitting on the ground and was dealing with the sudden incident that happened just now in her head, and then she slowly stood up, and while slapping the dust on her skirt, she greeted me with a long voice: "Ah , is Chen Jun—what a coincidence—going out for shopping?”
In an instant, my inflexible mind slowed down even more. This is great, I can't think of Lin Xue's complicated things at all.
"Uh, sorry, I didn't see... didn't you get hurt?" Out of politeness, even though I knew that the girl in front of me would not break the defense even if ten thousand mammoths stepped over her, I was still concerned.
In addition, I really didn't see a certain slow panties just now...
"Ah?" Sylvia raised her voice in confusion, and then lowered her voice, "Oh, so it was Jun Chen who bumped into me just now, it's okay—"
I:"… "
Do you think this lack of heart has become more serious recently
Only then did I realize that I had wandered unknowingly to a place far away from the central base, on a deserted street.
Surrounded by completely empty buildings and empty shop windows, if there are some stores in other parts of Shadow City that bring a little vitality, this block is almost as dead as a ghost alley.
I vaguely remembered that this place should be one of the connection points between Avalon and Shadow City. Due to the sensitive location, Sivis marked this place as an SSS-level martial law zone when dividing the area.
"What are you doing here?"
I looked curiously at the silver-haired girl in front of me. There was nothing but blankness and innocence in her eyes. Could it be that she was lost
With the precedent of Jaina getting lost and running directly out of the service area, I have no doubt that Sylvia has the ability to let herself wander to any corner without help.
"Ah, because this is the entrance of my shop—"
Three seconds later, Sylvia replied slowly, then turned slightly sideways, pointing to me at a small door behind her.
I:"… "
You set up shop in no man's land, idiot
"Ah, that's right—almost forgot about it," before I could spit it out, Sylvia showed an expression of suddenly remembering something, clapped her hands, took out a stack of small cards from her body, and took out one to stuff. In my hand, "I came out to distribute cards in nearby urban areas, you can give Chen Jun one first~~~"
I took the card speechlessly, and looked at the big words on it: Welcome to Xiaoxi Candy House.
What a familiar scene, what a familiar card, there is no address and contact number of the store at all, not even the main brand, but it took a lot of thought to design the lace of the card, the pattern on it can even be printed directly on the currency used for anti-counterfeiting
"If possible, can you come to the store for a seat?"
Sylvia looked at me silently on that card for a long time, thinking that I had become interested in her store, and immediately invited me warmly. There is no doubt that after the collision just now and the interruption now, she has forgotten her original advertisement. planned.
Anyway, sending out those cards is useless.
Sylvia's small shop is on the corner of the street, a very cartoon dotted candy house. As one of the most special residents in Shadow City, Sylvia has many privileges that she has not realized, one of which is Even opening a store near this place designated as a military restricted area, but the green light given by the Shadow City management department can't change the attributes of this stupid business idiot. He opened the store in no man's land. It hurts the player to release a hidden mission, open a store in a corner of the map, and don’t know why it’s a story NPC who can’t die of starvation but magically sells resurrection stones
More importantly, even if you are a plot NPC, who in the shadow city will take the risk of being beaten into a sieve by the imperial soldiers to come to you to receive the dragon slaying task
I was welcomed into my small shop by Sylvia, and while I was bored looking at the colorful candies she put on the counter to form various puzzles, I couldn't help asking this question. In my opinion, No matter how stupid the guy is, if he hasn't seen anyone pass by the store for two full months after opening the store, he should be a little confused, right
"Ah, speaking of which, there are often some tall little girls who come to buy candy."
Hearing my question, Sylvia, who was helping to make instant coffee, immediately became interested, and said so after gesturing a height for me on her waist with her hand.
"Also, occasionally a white-haired boy will bring a little girl who calls herself Misaka Misaka to buy small cakes. I made them myself—"
Eh? It turns out that as the upper body of all Misaka, can the final work also be close to this area
In addition, what happened to the "some" small girls mentioned by Sylvia just now
"It's so tall—" Sylvia explained still slowly, and now she has completely forgotten about making me coffee, "Wearing a white dress, they all look exactly the same. Speaking of which, I saw it around Chen Jun. There were little girls who looked like them—but they looked so different from the kid next to you, saying…”
Could it be... the off-duty Xiling hosts
Don't they have no sense of independence, do they also have the setting of liking candy
Just when such doubts arose in my heart, the bell at the door of the candy house suddenly rang, diverting the attention of Sylvia and me.
Several little girls in white dresses opened the door and walked in, staring at the front with dull eyes, only the little girl in the lead said hello: "Excuse me, is Sister Sylvia there?"
Sure enough, it is a mass-produced Xiling host
Three clones, Bubbles, walked into the small candy house, and then noticed my existence. Under the control of the program, the three identical little girls immediately bowed slightly to this side, and said in unison: "May you always be happy!" Glory to you, Your Majesty the Emperor."
"Ah... what an interesting name," Sylvia blinked, then got up and took out three wrapped candy boxes from the counter. "This is the candy you ordered earlier."
Seeing Sylvia so accurately identify the three little girls who clearly look and behave like all Xiling hosts, I finally confirmed one thing: even if it is half a beat behind, I still retain my identity as an apostle of Xiling recognition ability.
Perhaps, Lin Xue's conjecture about me just now is not groundless.
"Ah, what's the problem? Don't you like this kind of packaging?" Sylvia's slow voice interrupted my thinking, and when I looked up, it turned out that the three Xiling hosts were still standing there blankly , ignoring the candy in her hand at all, but turned her blank eyes to me.
"What... what's wrong?" I was stared at by three pairs of dull eyes, and I felt uncomfortable. I was used to seeing Little Bubbles' strange spirits and Bubbles' housegirl fanaticism, but suddenly I was faced with three mass-produced consoles that looked like wooden figures. , The huge sense of disobedience makes people very uncomfortable.
Well, could it be that he was suddenly caught by "His Majesty the Emperor" and sneaked out of the barracks to buy candy, so he was very scared and didn't dare to move
This idea flashed in my mind, but I couldn't believe it myself: What kind of joke is mass-produced consoles without thinking
But... three mass-produced hosts actually appeared in front of them who liked to eat candy, and would even sneak out of the military camp to buy candy after get off work.
And seeing what Sylvia meant, there were more than these three hosts who usually went to her small shop to buy candy.
By accident, I decided that the three little girls in front of me who should only know how to act according to the procedures were afraid of being punished, and then walked forward with a warm smile, and tapped the heads of the three little girls one by one: "There's nothing wrong with going out to buy candy during the break, just be careful not to get tooth decay."
I used the usual way of talking to Little Bubbles. According to my experience, with the blessing of my father's halo, this kind of pampering lesson will definitely have the effect of +10086 favorability.
The effect is very obvious, the three little girls in front of me...
There was no expression change at all.
It's so disappointing, but mass-produced consoles are mass-produced consoles after all. Faced with such a majestic paternal pampering, the three little girls still had blank expressions, but they just accepted Sylvie's The gift box in Ya's hand, and then bowed neatly to me: "Follow your teachings, Your Majesty the Great Emperor."
Then, the three little girls walked out of the shop with neat steps, like a person and her two shadows.
Only the LEVEL6 dad who gradually paled in place due to the sudden failure of the omnipotent father's love light was left.
However, Sylvia, who is usually the slowest and the most incapable of thinking, nodded her head understandingly: "Ah, these three children are very happy—especially the one walking in front, she is very, very happy Oh—Chen Jun, you are so good at coaxing children..."
I raised my head in surprise, looking at Sylvia's face with a simple smile, Lin Xue's reminder sounded again in my mind.
"...Although I can't see Sylvia's future, my intuition accidentally revealed something when my ability reached its peak yesterday. That girl will play a very special role in the near future... Maybe Bella Villa has already dead, but the soul of a Xiling may also be reincarnated... "
I never dare to underestimate Lin Xue's reminder, even if it is not based on her prophecy, but just an intuition, but now it seems that the so-called Bella Villa's chances of reincarnation are very small, but Sylvia has many Where I was surprised.
It was discovered before, the ability to command the soul of the Raven troops, and it was discovered just now that the opponent still retains the ability to identify the apostle of Xiling, and the ability to see the weak mood swings of the mass-produced host at a glance.
This is not like a skill that a lack of heart should master.
"Ahem," I suddenly realized that I had been staring at the other party rudely for a long time, I coughed twice in embarrassment, and then tentatively said, "Bella Villa, I want to ask you something."
"Oh? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Wait, she said yes
It was just a temptation on a whim, and Sylvia actually agreed to my calling her "Bella Villa"
But just as I was about to say something, Sylvia murmured to herself with a confused expression, "By the way, Mr. Chen, you called me by the wrong name just now~~~~"
Well, she just didn't react just now...
Chatted with Sylvia for a while, but naturally found nothing. Lin Xue’s reminder only meant that Sylvia would play a huge role in the near future. Now she is still just a silly defect. Just mind.
Before I knew it, it was almost noon, and I felt that my head had gradually turned into a pile of sticky glue in the conversation with Sylvia. In order to preserve my last poor wisdom, I resolutely declined Xi Sylvia’s kindness in inviting me to lunch—a guy who can even tie his own buttons wrongly, the meals he cooks are probably better than Lin Xue even if they don’t reach the level of Sandora’s high-energy fuel. Go back and enjoy Anveena's ghost horse set meal.
"So, goodbye—"
Sylvia sent me to the door of the store, said goodbye very politely, and then suddenly muttered in a low voice when I turned my head to leave, "Ah, speaking of it, I seemed to be helping Chen Jun make coffee..."
As soon as I heard this, I ran away. If I wait for that cup of coffee to be brewed, I guess the next generation of humans will learn to walk upright
I spent the whole morning in the shadow city. Apart from being with Lin Xue, I was dragged by that incomparably slow guy Sylvia to synchronize the timeline. It's not that it's a bit too boring, and then, at noon, something really happened that made us all feel quite chatty...
A visitor that none of us expected arrives unexpectedly, but is not a stranger.
Ding Ling—Lin Xue's best friend, the young lady who can compete with Tohsaka Rin in the spirit of taking advantage of the small ones, seems to have been performing missions abroad recently because of the work of the supernatural group, and she hasn't seen us for a long time I didn't expect that she would come to us suddenly, and she also brought an extremely gorgeous suitcase with her.
Speaking of which, Ding Ling can be regarded as an "insider" who has some understanding of our situation, so when she was welcomed into the living room, a group of non-human beings were still busy with their own affairs, Ding Dong was still happily drilling the hoop, Ah Reyer is spreading her wings and asking her elder sister to help shape the fluff on the inside of her wings with a hair dryer. Pandora and Viska have placed all kinds of heavy artillery in the living room, and they are competing who can disassemble and reinstall them in the shortest time. , but since Qianqian is the judge, I guess they will have to draw forever.
And the only one doing normal work in the living room is the dedicated maid An Weina. She is busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks after everyone's meal and counting the tableware that Sandora has gnawed, but in fact, this one is floating in the air The little ghost who went there was the culprit who made Ding Ling's face turn green.
"You have to get used to it." Facing Ding Ling's dumbfounded expression, I said to her very understandingly. "In fact, this is already our most common daily activity. At least this time Anveena didn't get out of the TV screen."
"I... It must be a mistake for me to come here." Ding Ling's hoarse voice sounded a little trembling, "At least, can you let that ghost walk on the ground?"
Whoa, as a senior cadre of the ability group, he is so afraid of ghosts.
However, seeing that Miss Ding's face was about to die at any time, I still waved to An Weena, and the little ghost let out a distressed cry, and finally obediently changed into the form of a big crow, and returned to her in the living room Inside the nest built above the cabinet.
…
I said, did this idiot really prepare a bird's nest for his crow form
Anveena's aggrieved complaints came immediately from the spiritual connection: "Well, master, this form of instinct is hard to avoid."
"Okay, now you can rest easy-come to see us for something?"
Although we know each other, the relationship between Ding Ling and our group is limited to ordinary acquaintances, and there is a feeling of keeping a respectful distance. Generally, when she is free, she rarely takes the initiative to come to this mansion with the most exaggerated security level in history. Come to us, today she is able to come to the dungeon task called "Empire Headquarters" under the tremendous pressure of Anveena, she must have something important to ask.
That's what a man's first sense tells me.
"Actually, I picked up a strange 'guy' recently," Ding Ling said carefully, as if she had a headache on how to explain the strange facts she encountered to us, and then she brought up the big black box beside her, " Strange things that even the power group has never encountered, I suspect she is from another 'place', and only you can help with this kind of thing... "
As Ding Ling spoke, she pushed the heavy-looking box she brought towards me.
"If you can figure out how this puppet called Mercury Lamp came to Earth..." V
