The girl singing on the other side of the intersection had attracted Hao Ren's attention. She had also attracted the attention of many passers-by. Probably because there were no street performers in the small Southern Suburbs, the girl had become the focus of attention.
There were three types of people who played musical instruments on the street these days. One was the literary beggars who wore sunglasses and played the erhu. They could not play a tune but they were sad. The other was the performance artists who were not good at music and simply wanted to take revenge on society. The last one was the real talent worthy of being called a street performer. The young girl on the other side of the road looked young, but Hao Ren thought she was the third type. The girl was dressed in dusty clothes, but she kept herself neat and tidy. She had a cheerful look on her face. Anyway, she was richer than the poor vampire at home. Her music was also captivating. The melody was something Hao Ren had never heard before. It seemed to be composed by the girl herself. It sounded completely different from the pop music of today. It felt distant and ethereal, reminiscent of the grassland and the wind. It was a strange association. Before today, Hao Ren did not understand what 'supreme music can convey the mind' meant. But now, he believed that the melody did have the power to broaden the mind.
When the young girl began to sing a nameless ballad, Hao Ren heard a language that he had never heard before. It sounded like a random murmur. The meaning and vocabulary were completely unknown. It was as if she was humming it on the spur of the moment. Y'zaks, the great demon, could not help but stop and listen for a while. Then, he looked puzzled. "I don't understand? Is the translation system not complete? "
"MDT," Hao Ren poked the MDT in his pocket, which had entered hibernation mode. "Listen, what language is this? Why is it not in our translation library? "
The MDT first played the system's background music and then listened for a few seconds. "Irregular, illogical, undecipherable pronunciation. The system has determined that there is no need to translate these pronunciations. They are just a collection of sounds without any meaning."
Hao Ren thought for a moment and came up with an easy to understand explanation. "That means the girl has forgotten the lyrics and is just singing nonsense?"
"Can't you at least listen to the atmosphere when you speak?" The MDT vibrated twice in Hao Ren's pocket. "It sounds so good. It's better to say that she's singing with her heart than to forget the lyrics. Although I also think she has forgotten the lyrics."
At this time, the girl across the road seemed to have noticed the situation (or maybe she had noticed Y'zaks first. The two-meter-tall villain had a 200-yard radius of mockery. He was the landmark of the whole street). She looked up at Hao Ren and gave him a sweet smile as if greeting him.
Of course, Hao Ren did not know who the girl was, so he smiled back politely and followed Y'zaks out of the road. He still had business to attend to. There was a werewolf girl waiting to be fed at home. He could not afford to waste time here.
When Hao Ren and Y'zaks were almost at the door, the MDT suddenly said, "Speaking of which... She just said hello to you. Shouldn't you go over and put ten dollars in the cardboard box? I've checked the information on Earth and found out that this is the rule. "
Hao Ren thought for a moment and smiled as if his soul had been purified. "Did you hear her singing? Such a clean and vast voice. I don't think it can be measured with money. Although she was singing, I think giving her a smile is more useful than giving her ten dollars. "
"But when you two walked away, the girl rolled her eyes at you while she was taking a breather. She even muttered that you were a cheapskate..."
Hao Ren was speechless. It was not easy for him to purify his soul, but in an instant, it was heavily polluted again. Could this talkative MDT not leave him a little bit of sanity?
By the time the two reached home, Vivian was already there. The vampire maiden had been flying around for most of the night and did not come back in the morning. It seemed that she had gone to a faraway place to collect "materials". As soon as Hao Ren entered the living room, he saw her spreading out a lot of things on the coffee table. She seemed to be grinding some medicinal powder. Vivian looked up and saw the big bag in Y'zaks hand. She asked casually, "You bought so much?"
"What if Lily is hungry after her transformation? I read that werewolves have a strong appetite after shapeshifting. I bought her 20 packets of spicy sticks and 10 packets of bread, just in case she can't bear the hunger and runs into the city to hurt people."
Lily cheered when she heard the snacks. She jumped up from the sofa and opened a packet of spicy sticks before returning to the sofa to nibble on. Vivian gaped at Hao Ren. "20 packets of spicy sticks... What are you thinking?"
"She likes these little things." Hao Ren looked at Lily as if he was looking at a pet. "And spicy sticks are very appetizing. I even asked Raven 12345 about it. Spicy things can help Lily evolve..."
"I've never heard of werewolves evolving by eating spicy food." Vivian pouted. "You'd better prepare 10 bottles of mineral water. What Lily needs the most is a bellyful of cold water. Why is your train of thought getting closer and closer to that goddess? "
Raven 12345's status as a goddess was still there. Hao Ren dared to talk about her but Vivian did not dare to say the words "psycho" out loud. This showed that the vampire maiden was still wary of gods and religions.
Hao Ren helped Y'zaks put the two big bags on the dining table. He then curiously moved closer to Vivian. "What are you doing? It looks disgusting... Damn, this smell is... "
Vivian spread out a few old newspapers on the coffee table. There were a lot of things on it. Some of them looked like weeds, but Vivian had spent a lot of effort to find these precious materials. The muddy smell of the grass was carefully separated into a few piles. There were water droplets on them, and it was obvious that they had been washed. Beside the grass and leaves were some random things that looked like mud, wood, moss, and even stone dregs. If it was any other occasion, Hao Ren would have thought that they were picked up from the big dumpster at the east end of the street. However, Vivian was very serious about handling these things. She put the various materials into a few small stainless steel basins according to a certain pattern and dosage. Some of them had been crushed into powder, while others were still being handled.
"This here is a powder made from three types of dried herbs. Mix it with rabbit blood and drink it. It can forcibly stabilize the spirit. A normal person would fall asleep after two sips, but for a werewolf, this dosage is just enough to calm them down." Vivian introduced the suspicious mixture in her hands. "This grayish-white powder is incense. Later, I will mix it with wormwood juice and make it into a cake. When Lily transforms, she will ignite it. The aroma will suppress her desire to attack. Werewolves often use this during their coming of age ceremony. The recipe is definitely correct. These moss were collected from the graveyard. I flew for a long time before I found them. They can condense spiritual energy. Werewolves are a race with more developed muscles than brains. They are born with insufficient spiritual energy, so they need these things... "
Before Vivian could finish, Hao Ren could not help but retch. Even in the foodie nation, not many people would dare to taste these things. However, after some processing, two-thirds of them would become the "soup" that Lily had to drink tonight. Just thinking about it made his stomach churn. Hao Ren glanced at Vivian, trying to get some information from her eyes. "Tell me honestly, are you here to seek revenge on Lily?"
Vivian smiled. "Landlord, look at my honest eyes..."
Hao Ren sighed. It seemed that she was here for revenge.
However, as the person involved, Lily did not seem to be aware of it at all. The maiden was still holding a packet of spicy sticks and watching a soap opera. She had no objection to the unknown mixture on the coffee table. Hao Ren could not help but call out to Lily, "Lily, come and have a look at these things that Vivian has prepared for you... You have to eat them tonight..."
Lily turned her head and sniffled. "Hmm, not bad! I'll eat anything! "
Hao Ren was speechless.
There was no need to treat this omnivorous werewolf!
