It was now the eighth night of Medivh's disappearance, and there was still no sign of the crow. The Empire soldiers who were running around the world had already given up on looking for the crow a few days ago and turned their attention to solving the various problems left behind by the bird. In the past few days, they unearthed swords from Europe, comforted primitive tribes who were frightened by the "Crow God" in Africa, repaired mountains in the Andes Mountains, treated penguins contaminated by the shadow in the Antarctic Circle, and even gave psychological counseling to a few aunties. On the second day of Medivh's disappearance, a few aunties who were returning home from playing mahjong saw the giant Crow God gliding in the sky. They felt that it might be related to the end of the world …
Therefore, I felt that the Empire soldiers had a very fulfilling holiday. They were free social workers for Earth, and to a certain extent, these Empire soldiers had slightly changed human society. Parts of London could now be bought with a system disk that cost five dollars each, settled in Euros …
Regarding Medivh, I also discovered an interesting phenomenon. According to speculation, the bird stopped its activities on Earth six days ago. Since then, the energy hot spots it left on Earth had slowly cooled down and calmed down. Originally, the influence it left behind should have subsided, but it was the opposite. Some of the things it came into contact with were still changing with the passage of time. For example, some ancient swords brought back from Europe, and two primitive tribal totems found in Africa. The latter was believed to have been used by Medivh as a perch. It was originally made of wood, but now it had become harder than diamond. These things that continued to mutate with the passage of time could not help but remind me of the "energy mine" in the shadow realm. They were originally very ordinary things, but after entangling with an "information disturbance source", they mutated and became strange. The difference was that Medivh's influence seemed to be very small. She could only mutate something when she was in close contact with it, and the range of influence was not more than one kilometer. On the other hand, my influence was a little limitless. In theory, as long as it was within the borders of the Empire, there was a possibility of it being affected. But excluding this difference, the two situations seemed to be essentially the same.
Medivh was really going to become a God …
It was easy to imagine that Jingle's leaves played a crucial role in this process. It was the real "Divine Spark" that the little one possessed that indirectly affected Medivh's evolution. Perhaps it was a seed or a catalyst that triggered the energy in the crow that would have changed after hundreds of years, allowing the crow to evolve ahead of time. Neither the Shiring Apostles nor the Galactic Protoss had ever heard of such a phenomenon. We weren't sure if it was good or bad for Medivh. Icetis had already reported the relevant situation to the Star Sector. The Protoss also had a scientific research institution similar to the Research Institute. The experts from the Star Sector would join forces with the Schilling Scientific Research Center to conduct a joint research that spanned a huge field. Their first research topic was: The possible edible and medicinal value of the leaves of the Goddess of Life.
Obviously, the initiator of the first research topic was Icetis …
After so many days without finding Medivh, Anveena became anxious again. Even with Lin Xue's guarantee, she was still worried. Every night, she floated around the house with a heavy heart. I had to say that this time, Anveena finally became a qualified ghost. She finally mastered how to scare people in the middle of the night, instead of coming out of the TV every night to act cute. It wasn't enough for her to just sing Sin 'dorei's Elegy in the living room. She had to learn how to float out of the wall with a bitter face and shout people's names as she floated in the air. Just now, when I woke up in the middle of the night to pour myself a glass of water, I was almost scared to death when I walked out of the door. There was the lower half of a girl's body sticking out of the ceiling and slowly floating forward. As she floated, I heard a bitter voice from the third floor, "Where are you …" It sounded like she was looking for her lower half. Seeing this scene, I immediately went through seven or eight horror movies in my head before I recognized that it was Anveena's maid dress.
I noticed that the ghost maid's underwear was white …
When Anveena floated around unconsciously, she would often forget about walls and other obstacles. With the perception of a ghost, most of the barriers in the physical world were like a grid drawn on a piece of paper to her. If she noticed it, she might not jump out, but if she wasn't careful, she would cross the line. I often saw her floating too low and her feet were buried under the floor. She was quite curious about why everything around her seemed to be higher. Tonight, her situation was more serious: half of her body was on the third floor, and the other half was on the second floor. Luckily, I was brave enough …
"Anveena, come down. Come down." I waved at the ceiling, but she didn't notice and continued to float forward. Only then did I remember that her head was still on the third floor. So, I jumped into the air and grabbed the ghost maid's leg and pulled her down. Suddenly, the little ghost's scream echoed in the corridor, "Wahhh …"
I had expected it. Before Anveena could say a word, her mouth was covered. Then, she noticed that it was me. She patted her chest in fear and said, "Oh, it's Master. You scared me."
Did you see that? This was called being unconscious. As a ghost who had just acted out a classic horror movie, she was actually scared!
Hearing my complaint, Anveena was embarrassed. She scratched her head and giggled, apologizing to me, "I'm sorry, Master. I was cleaning on the third floor. Then, I floated and fell down."
"Is it because of the crow?" I led Anveena to the living room and turned on the lights. Then, I poured a glass of water for both of us.
"Okay." The ghost maid answered in a low voice. She picked up the glass of water and sipped from it. I was curious. How could a ghost eat and drink?
I was afraid that it was similar to how the Mercury Lamp could eat. It was a phenomenon that could only be explained by Tawil's matter transformation model.
"Lin Xue is too much. She seems to know something, but she didn't say anything. She insisted on giving us a surprise." I shook my head and mumbled. Although Lin Xue didn't know where Medivh was and what was happening (it was something she couldn't judge because Medivh was in a state she couldn't understand. Even if she saw something, she couldn't describe it), she should know when the bird would come back. However, she only told us an approximate time. Her explanation was that it would be a surprise.
"The mistress must have good intentions. The more the future is revealed, the easier it is to have problems." Anveena spoke for Lin Xue weakly. She added, "I read in a book that the more the prophet says, the more inaccurate the prophecy is."
I thought to myself that Lin Xue couldn't follow the conventional framework of a prophet. She was a rare material. However, just as I was about to speak, I suddenly heard a sound. I frowned and said, "Wait, Anveena, did you hear something in the kitchen?"
Anveena suddenly became nervous. She held the glass of water and carefully looked behind her. It was the door to the kitchen. "No, I just walked around the kitchen. The doors and windows are closed."
"Oh." I thought I might have heard wrong. However, just as I was about to say something to Anveena, the sound of porcelain falling came from the kitchen again. This time, I definitely didn't hear wrong. "Let's go check the kitchen!"
I led Anveena to the kitchen and turned on the lights. However, there was nothing in the kitchen. Our kitchen was huge, so there weren't too many things piled up. Basically, the situation inside could be seen at a glance. My field of vision was clean. There wasn't a person or a huge crow. However, I quickly found some white fragments and a few fruits on the ground not far away. It looked like a fruit plate that was originally placed in the corner of the cupboard had fallen to the ground. Anveena carefully hid behind me. She looked inside and grabbed the corner of my clothes in fear. She whispered, "Master, is there a thief?"
I looked at Anveena in horror. I poked her face with my finger and said, "Aren't you ashamed to be a ghost?"
Anveena said confidently, "At the right time, hiding behind the master and pretending to seek protection to increase the master's pride. This is a skill that a qualified maid should have!"
I was speechless. Does this profession involve psychology?
However, at this moment, I inadvertently felt a faint energy fluctuation in the air. I immediately focused and followed the energy fluctuation to the biggest cupboard door in the middle of the cupboard. There was something hidden in the cupboard. I gave Anveena a look to tell her not to make a sound. Then, I cautiously approached the cupboard door. This time, I was even more certain. There was a very light rustling sound on the other side. It sounded like a small animal was eating something.
"Found you!" I suddenly opened the cupboard. Two exclamations came from inside.
Anveena and I were stunned to see two little girls curled up in the cupboard. They looked almost the same, and they were both wearing brown coarse dresses of an unknown style. One of them was hugging half an apple, and there were pieces of fruit on her face. It was obvious that the rustling sound had come from her when she was eating. The other one was looking curiously outside the cupboard. Then, as if there was no one else around, she was digging at a small part on the inside of the cupboard that was used to fix the countertop.
In great confusion, I pulled the two little girls out of the cupboard. I had them stand in a row in front of me. Only then did I have a chance to observe their appearance. The two of them looked about the same. They looked to be around fourteen or fifteen years old. However, they were very skinny. It seemed that due to malnutrition, they looked even younger than their actual age. I couldn't help but think of the little girl called Water Drop in the ruined world. They were both malnourished and skinny. However, compared to Water Drop who grew up in the cruel environment of the ruined world, the situation of the two little girls in front of me was slightly better. Besides their skinny bodies, the two children looked very fair. They had big eyes, a small nose, and a small mouth. They looked very likable. Besides their similar appearance and body shape, the two of them were wearing the same brown coarse dress. The dress should have been handmade using a relatively poor method. There were almost no decorative lines. It seemed that the only purpose of the dress was to cover their bodies. They were children from poor families. I couldn't see the style of the dress, but I had never seen the fabric before. It looked like linen, but it was coarser.
Looking at these two girls who had a lot of similarities, my first thought was that they were twins. However, what was strange was that, apart from their similar body shape, clothing, and facial features, they had a very distinct difference. The little girl holding the apple had dark brown eyes and brown hair. Her hair had lost its luster due to malnutrition, making her entire body look brown. She looked like she was covered in dirt. When the little girl looked at us, her eyes were filled with fear. It seemed that she was extremely afraid of being caught for stealing. The other little girl had a kind of … inhuman feeling. Her eyes were muddy red and unusually bright. It seemed that they would glow different colors as she looked around. I even suspected that her eyes would glow if the lights were turned off. She had long purplish-black hair. It didn't look malnourished at all. Instead, it was unbelievably soft. It was like the feathers of a bird shining under the sun. Under the light, the ends of her long hair refracted a mysterious blue and purple color that kept changing. It also had a cold metallic texture.
The second little girl didn't look afraid at all. On the contrary, she looked happy. When she looked at us, her eyes were unusually eager. It was as if she was going to jump at us.
"Err, you two are …" Before I could finish my sentence, the seemingly fearless little girl suddenly cheered and jumped at Anveena. "Mommy! Mommy! I'm back! "
I was instantly struck by lightning. I turned to look at An Weina and realized that this little ghost had turned pale white. Then, the light on her body flashed a few times, and she turned into green smoke, dissipating into the air... Damn, was she so scared that she ascended to the heavens?!
"Anveena! Anveena, what's wrong with you?! Hurry up and come back! " I immediately shouted. The little girl who jumped on Anveena fell to the ground. At this time, she also shouted, "Mommy, mommy, what's wrong with you?! Hurry up and come back! "
A few beams of light appeared in the air and condensed back into An Weina's appearance. The little ghost's eyes twirled with mosquito coils. "Master, I'm a little confused … Can you find a few priests to help me transcend?"
When I heard that, I thought to myself, You're really confused.
The little girl who had stolen the apple looked like she was scared out of her wits, but she still hugged her food tightly. The little girl who had almost scared An Weina to death became anxious after seeing how confused we were. She gestured and jumped up and down, trying to communicate with us. When I asked her about her background, she became anxious. She opened her arms and made a flying pose, shouting in a mess, "Fly! Fly so far! I ate strange things and dug out strange things from the ground. Then, my stomach heated up! Mommy taught me to fly. It was cool in the sky, so I flew … I went to many places and got lost … Ah, then, when I grew up, I couldn't hide my body anymore. People would see me. Mommy said that I couldn't let anyone see me, so I hid in the mountains! Then, there was a ray of light and I flew into a huge valley. It was so white that I couldn't see anything, but my stomach felt much better. I stayed there for a few days. Then, a little human came to the valley. She wasn't afraid of me … She taught me how to eat and talked a lot. I thought she was a good human, so I played with her … Then, some bad people wanted to catch the little human … Oh, maybe they wanted to catch me. So, the two of us ran away. I brought the little human and flew past many cities. Hm, towns? Anyway, there were many big houses. Then, there was another ray of light and I came back. Also, I turned into a little human so that I wouldn't scare people. Oh, the little human was hungry. She wanted to eat, so she took some fruit. Mommy taught me that it was an apple! "
I pondered for three minutes. Then, I took out a piece of paper and a pen. "Wait a minute. Let me make a formula. Damn, this logic is too messy …"
The little girl skipped over and grabbed An Weina's hand. She seemed to want to say something, but this time, she didn't control her mouth well enough and accidentally let out a bunch of sparks. An Weina was thinking, her eyes seeing stars. When she saw this scene, she felt that it was very familiar. She pointed at the little girl in shock. "You are … Medivh?!"
"Medivh! Medivh! " The little girl with long purplish-black hair jumped happily. "Oh yeah, that's what mommy always called me. It turns out that this is my name!" Then, she ran to the little girl who was eating an apple carefully and said solemnly, "My name is Medivh. This is my name. Don't be afraid. Mommy is a very good person … Master is too. "
I quickly grabbed Anveena's hand and moved to the side. Then, I lowered my voice and asked carefully, "Medivh? You said that the child is Medivh? Are you sure? "
Anveena nodded hard. "I had a familiar feeling just now. From what she said, it seemed to be what happened after she left home. Also, she would spit out fire arrows when she coughed. It's a bad habit that Medivh hasn't been able to change. There's an eighty percent chance that it is her. "
I had the same guess. The child's speech was a mess. Her subject-verb-object relationship was abnormally messed up. However, I could vaguely make out some clues. I observed carefully and my gaze fell on her long hair. Her long purplish-black hair glowed with a cold metallic luster. It was the unique color of Medivh's feathers! And the bluish-black glow on her hair … Is that the power of the Crow God?
"It seems to be right." I nodded. "She even called you mommy. But how did she become like this? Where did the little girl next to her come from? "
Anveena was a little embarrassed. "Didn't she just say that?"
I looked at the pen and paper in my hand. My head was muddled. "I haven't even made the formula clear!"
Anveena was stunned. She nodded stiffly. "Ugh, that's true …"
