A week had passed in the blink of an eye.
It was a peaceful week. It was a rare, peaceful holiday for Hao Ren, who had been in a lot of trouble in the past few years. Ever since Vivian split into a palm-sized Malevolence, nothing major had happened. All Hao Ren had to do was to deal with the news from the monitoring outposts, formulate development plans for each settlement, and pay attention to the livelihood of the people in the remnant areas. Other than that, he had to deal with the occasional trouble caused by the supernatural creatures at home. Such a pace of life was soothing to Hao Ren.
And the little Malevolence had been living at home for a whole week.
At first, Hao Ren and Vivian were very worried about the Malevolence living in their house. But after the little Malevolence moved in, many of their worries became subtle. Everyone knew how little threat a weak Malevolence could pose. Now, even Lil Pea no longer saw the little Malevolence as a threat because the little thing was really weak.
What about the little Malevolence? She was still the same as usual, grumpy, tossing, and trying to challenge the world that was almost a hell for her.
After the first night of torment, Vivian released the little Malevolence from the cage. As she guessed, the biggest reason for the little Malevolence's constant torment was that she was dissatisfied with life in the cage. After leaving the cage, the little Malevolence immediately went into the mouse hole, and it was much quieter after that. At least, it was much quieter than when she was in the cage.
Hao Ren sat on the sofa with Lil Pea, watching a documentary on the ocean. Y 'zaks was frowning as he studied the Classic of Mountains and Seas. There was a slight sound of friction coming from the corner of the wall. Hao Ren glanced over and did not pay any attention to it. He just said, "It seems that she really regards the first place after her' birth 'as her home. I don't know if the Malevolence has the concept of' home ', but at least she really likes the mouse hole."
"It feels strange." The old demon looked up from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. "I thought she would be more dangerous."
As soon as Y 'zaks's voice trailed off, a cardboard box in the corner was slowly pushed open. The little Malevolence struggled to get out from the gap between the cardboard box and the cabinet. She looked around and then ran toward Hao Ren and Lil Pea. The little Malevolence climbed to the armrest of the sofa, stumbled around the fruit plate on the armrest, and finally flew a short distance in the air before landing in front of Lil Pea on the coffee table. Hao Ren and Y 'zaks did not react during the whole process. Even Lil Pea was just watching the little Malevolence's clumsy movements lazily because they were used to it.
The little Malevolence finally crawled in front of Lil Pea. She roared and threw a bunch of dark-red energy arrows at Lil Pea before pouncing on the Malevolence. But the little mermaid just blinked her bright eyes at the scene. When the energy arrows were a dozen centimeters away from her, a silver-white sacred flame appeared out of nowhere and burned them all. Then the little mermaid turned over and swung her tail, and the little Malevolence flew to the other end of the living room in a parabola.
Hao Ren continued to watch TV, Y 'zaks continued to study the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and Lil Pea patted the table with her tail and curled up to sleep.
The little Malevolence rolled a few times on the ground before getting up. But she was not upset at all. After a while, she began to attack the next target.
She was slapped back by Rollie.
Lily threw her from the room into the trash can at the kitchen door.
Nangong Wuyue threw her down from the second floor.
Finally, she was caught in the kitchen. Vivian grabbed the little Malevolence by the collar and ran to the living room. With one hand on her waist, she yelled at Hao Ren, "Can't you do something about it? I was cooking when she suddenly jumped into the frying pan! "
"How? You can't even do anything about it. "Hao Ren looked up at Vivian." Let her do what she wants. According to the schedule, she will be hungry in half an hour. "
While talking, Hao Ren's eyes fell on the card hanging on the refrigerator not far away. On the card, there was a schedule written with a scratching dog crawl:
X o 'clock – X o' clock, sleep in the mouse hole
X o 'clock – X o' clock, come out and attack people
X o 'clock – X o' clock, hungry, start eating
X o 'clock – X o' clock, continue to attack people or bite the wires
X o 'clock – X o' clock, hungry, start eating
X o 'clock – X o' clock, biting things randomly and trying to destroy the west wall of the living room with magic. As the damage point was fixed, there was a broken iron plate in the corner of the west wall for her to hit. Remember to check the degree of corrosion of the iron plate and replace it at any time. Maybe she was exercising?
X o 'clock – X o' clock, return to the mouse hole, usually quiet until the next day. It was even quieter to let the super cute Rollie sleep at the mouth of the hole.
The schedule was compiled by Vivian and Hao Ren, and finally, Hao Ren dictated it and Rollie wrote it by hand.
Vivian covered her forehead with a helpless expression. Looking at Hao Ren slouching on the sofa, she knew there was nothing she could do. So she simply threw the little Malevolence to Hao Ren and said, "Let her torture you. I have to go cook."
The first thing the little Malevolence did when she was free was to scream and pounce on Hao Ren's finger. But halfway through, the experienced Hao Ren took out a small paper ball from his pocket and threw it at her. According to the usual pattern, the paper ball would take the little Malevolence more than ten minutes to tear.
This was the current situation of the little Malevolence "living" in Hao Ren's house.
Whether it was a pattern of life or instinct, the little Malevolence's pattern of action was so simple and straightforward that it did not take much effort to deal with it. The little Malevolence would attack her family whenever she was awake, but she was not strong enough to attack anyone in the house. After a certain amount of struggle, she would run out of energy and seek fresh meat as a sacrifice. Hao Ren went to the market and bought half a pound of bloody meat for the little Malevolence and froze it in the refrigerator. The little Malevolence did not know how to open the refrigerator, but she already knew where the food was. Every time she was hungry, she would take the initiative to lie in front of the refrigerator and wait for someone to feed her. Other than messing around and eating, she spent the rest of her time in the mouse hole.
The Malevolence did not have complex thinking, but it was not a pure animal. It had no emotions, but occasionally showed emotional reactions. Hao Ren still could not understand what kind of creature the Malevolence was. But he gradually felt that Raven 12345's arrangement might make sense: the little Malevolence's behavior was worth studying.
"Hiss … Hiss …" The little Malevolence roared angrily as she tore the paper ball. The trace of animal blood in the paper ball had completely attracted her attention. Hao Ren looked at the scene and said casually, "This behavior is really different from ordinary Malevolence."
"It's actually the same," said the MDT, lying on the coffee table. "This is a very wonderful phenomenon: when a creature's size is reduced a lot, all its actions will seem harmless and interesting. She's tearing paper for fun now, but if she becomes the size of a real person and tears a living person with the same actions and expressions, you won't think that she's harmless anymore. And if she's magnified thousands of times and becomes the Devil God Body, her playfulness will be a disaster. "
Hao Ren nodded thoughtfully and glanced at Little Bloody Mary. "To be honest, it would be better if she didn't cause trouble. Otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a miserable state all day long as if someone was bullying her."
"Hmm, that is probably impossible," the MDT snorted. "Unless she can develop a mind, or her weak emotional response can be enhanced enough to support the development of feelings, the Malevolence will never be quiet. Ah, there is a call. Someone is looking for you."
"Who is it?"
"The channel is Earth's communication network. It is an international call from White Flame," the MDT said as it opened the communication interface. "Do you want to connect?"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment. He immediately remembered that he had asked the demon hunter to investigate something and quickly ordered the MDT to connect.
"Hao Ren," White Flame's voice came from the MDT. "We have made some progress on what you asked us to investigate. I found an investigation report on Olympus in the library."
"Investigation report? What's the general content? "
"Most of them are the records of the actions of the demon hunters during the destruction of Mount Olympus. You should not be interested in this part. What is useful are some of the information attached to the report. If the information is correct, after the destruction of the otherworldlings in ancient Greece, a servant of Zeus escaped with a large number of scrolls and ancient artifacts. Those scrolls include Athena's research materials. Perhaps what you are looking for is in them."
