It was a gloomy morning, but it wasn't quite right to say that it was gloomy. The sky had simply darkened, as if dusk had arrived early on what was supposed to be a sunny day at 7: 30 in the morning. The dim yellow sunlight casually filled the cloudless sky and then weakly fell to the ground, presenting us with a morning that seemed like it was about to enter night.
The first to notice this abnormal situation was Anveena, who never slept. The greatest pleasure of this ghostly maid was to prepare a sumptuous breakfast for Jingle in the kitchen before anyone in the family woke up. When the dusk sunlight suddenly shone in the kitchen, and the air was filled with an unsettling "thin spiritual energy", the little ghost was busy practicing her special skills as an ace maid. When she thought about the "abnormal world" that her masters had been discussing in the past few days, Anveena hurriedly ran to her master's room and woke me up, who was still in a daze.
"I'm very sorry, Master, but you said that if anything abnormal happened in the house, I must inform you immediately …"
Waking up her master early in her sleep was definitely a dereliction of duty in Anveena's eyes. The little ghost, who always considered herself to be a perfect maid, had a nervous and restrained expression, as if she had committed some unforgivable crime.
"Er, it is indeed an abnormal situation …"
I comfortingly patted Anveena's little head and then looked outside the window.
"But it's not happening in the house … Meow, this abnormal situation has probably enveloped the entire city."
Dusk, this was undoubtedly dusk, but the sunlight was indeed coming from the east. The sun rose from the east, the cloudless clear sky, the clock on the wall clearly showing that it was 7: 30, and …
The afterglow of the setting sun filled the sky.
However, apart from the abnormalities in the sky, I couldn't see anything else. Within the range of my mental perception, the flow of energy was still orderly and gentle. Perhaps I would have to wait for a few other professionals to analyze the current situation.
"By the way, Anveena, you said that you're training your maid skills. What are they?"
Although Sandora and the others were also woken up, it always takes a while for girls to wake up. Except for Pandora, who doesn't have any loli awareness, even Sandora needs to dress up a little. In the few minutes before they came to the living room, I tried to divert Anveena's attention. The little maid was still caught up in the guilt of waking up her master from her sweet dreams.
"Ah, Master, you are talking about this — —" The topic that I started was very effective. Anveena immediately smiled proudly. Then, she reached for an apple on the table beside her. "This is the unique skill that the real number one maid should have!"
I immediately cooperated with the little ghost's expectant gaze and watched her with curiosity.
Anveena took a deep breath, widened her eyes, and stared.
A faint halo appeared in the air. I could feel a holy power from it. This was the strangest ability that Anveena had as a ghost: Undead Holy Light.
Under the careful control of a certain ghost, the peaceful halos gradually gathered in front of Anveena's beautiful and misty brown eyes. They started to compress and gradually turned into two small light spots. At that moment, my expression gradually changed from curiosity to confusion.
Sure enough, a second later, the two Holy Light of the Undead cores that had been compressed to the limit suddenly burst out, turning into two bright, pale golden rays. With a ripping sound, they cut the apple in An Weina's hand in half.
"Master! This is a skill that the perfect maid must have! Anveena can now emit X-rays from her eyes! "
Are you kidding me!
I almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What kind of nonsense does this fellow usually research on? Speaking of which, the "Ace Maid Code of Conduct" that God knows who instilled into her head really has something about emitting "beep beep" rays from her eyes … Ugh, it seems like it really does exist … Speaking of which, does this fellow really take that stuff seriously and cultivate it seriously? All the maidservant fanatics in the world would cry their hearts out, okay!
"Master, did I do something wrong? But Mistress Bubble told me that this is a skill that a qualified maid must have. "
Seeing the change in my expression, the ghost maid who originally wanted to make her master smile immediately put on a nervous and pitiful expression. She said carefully.
"No, it's not you that's wrong, it's the world."
My heart was full of tears. I grabbed the cold hand of a certain ghost and looked at the sky speechlessly.
I hope that this fellow doesn't pull me to watch her practice how to use the ribbons on her back as tentacles to attack tomorrow morning … This little ghost's pitiful brain has already been taught badly by Bubble.
"Aha, what an unexpected harvest. Speaking of which, even if you can't control your lust and want to do such things to your personal maid, you should at least find a place where there's no one around. Violating your weak and helpless maid in the living room will cause you to be chewed on by man-eating flowers for three days and three nights — — Yep, in the name of the Goddess!"
"No one will treat you as a mute if you don't speak!" I let go of Anveena and picked up a certain talkative fake High Priestess Loli. I casually threw her into a small basket beside the sofa that had the words "Liliana's Personal Recycling Place" written on it. Phew — — This world finally quieted down.
Speaking of which, preparing this basket back then was the wisest decision I had ever made.
"What an unexpected development … Just a little bit of information pollution from the outside world wouldn't cause such a huge anomaly."
I didn't know when Sandora had arrived at the living room. She glanced at Liliana who was struggling to get out of the basket but was stuffed with all four of her legs facing the sky. Out of habit, our Queen ignored this living treasure and focused her attention on the abnormal sky outside. Judging from her tone, although she was curious, she wasn't worried at all.
"Big brother, big brother, I've already released the detector …"
Visca's voice sounded behind me. When I passed by the sofa, the cat-eyed loli was astonished to see the High Priestess struggling to get out. Under Liliana's hopeful gaze, Visca thought for three seconds before he decisively bent down and poked a certain High Priestess Liliana's slender waist.
Accompanied by a panicked cry, Liliana disappeared from the opening of the basket.
Visca, you're so bad! But — — good job!
"Ah, big brother, big brother, the detector has entered the predetermined position!" Visca, who was responsible for all of this, jumped in front of me without feeling any guilt. Then, he suddenly said in a cheerful tone, "Let me see, the stars are orbiting normally, the sunlight radiation outside the atmosphere is normal, and the other regions on Earth are fine as well … It seems that only the atmosphere above this city has a similar situation. Above us, the normal sunlight is immediately replaced by the light of dusk after entering the atmosphere, but the original normal light of the stars has disappeared."
"Replaced … and not weakened …"
I chewed on this unique word that Visca used. The difference of two words overturned my original conjecture that an atmospheric lens had appeared in the sky.
The anomaly had already spread to the entire city, but no one had noticed it.
Taking advantage of the fact that Bubble and her clones were busy analyzing the data, I went out to the streets with Shallow Shallow. It was already past eight in the morning, and there were many people on the streets. Under the light of dusk, there was an abnormal flow of people on the streets … No, that was normal, and the dusk scenery around us was abnormal, wasn't it?
But under this strange and frightening sunlight, the people on the streets seemed to be completely unaware of it, and continued with their daily lives. The expressions on their faces weren't as stiff as I expected, but they were full of spirit. It was obvious that they were awake, just that they couldn't notice the changes in their surroundings.
I pulled over an uncle that I often saw nearby, and I pretended to chat with him about the weather, while discreetly drawing his attention to the sky. But as expected, as an ordinary person, Uncle A didn't think that there was anything wrong with the sky. It wasn't that he didn't notice the anomaly, but that he thought that the sunset in the morning was a normal scene!
"I'm afraid that the worldview of the entire city has been distorted."
I said worriedly to Shallow Shallow after saying goodbye to Nameless Uncle A.
The next instant, a mysterious ripple suddenly engulfed everything around me. The people on the streets, the flying cotton next to me, and even a piece of paper that was spinning and falling from the sky not too far away from me. Everything suddenly stopped in midair — time had stopped.
"Shallow Shallow? What's the matter? "
I curiously turned around and asked her. She had already switched to her cold and callous mode. She didn't answer my question, but instead lifted her head slightly.
Following her line of sight, I discovered that the sky had mysteriously transformed into … a zebra!?
The normal blue sky of the morning and the dim glow of dusk were clearly separated like a zebra crossing, drawing countless parallel lines in the sky, intertwining and occupying the mutated sky. This strange scene was something I had never seen before, it was comparable to Picasso's — speaking of which, was Picasso postmodern?
"The abnormal information isn't just a projection anymore, it's gradually gaining a physical form in this world," Shallow Shallow analyzed calmly. "Now, it's slowly becoming a tangible part of this world, and so its timeline has also merged with the real world, influenced by my power. However, as the corruption hasn't been completed, it's still partially disconnected from our world. In the instant when time stopped, this disconnection formed the current scene in the sky … If the sky becomes indistinguishable and chaotic, I'm afraid that the corruption will forever replace the reality of this world."
Listening to Shallow Shallow's calm and objective analysis, I was stunned. My weird stare made Shallow Shallow feel a little strange as well. An indiscernible trace of awkwardness flashed across her frosty face. She then scratched her face. "Ah Jun, is there something on my face?"
Even though Shallow Shallow was like this, she was still a girl who cared about her lover's gaze in front of me.
"No," I shrugged. "I just feel that I'm more used to your usual carefree attitude … Eh! I thought you didn't bite when you changed your personality? "
"I've changed back!" Shallow Shallow flashed a pair of cute canine teeth at me threateningly before lowering her head to bite me again.
"I was wrong! I was really wrong!! I'm really bleeding, girl! "
Following the end of Shallow Shallow's power, the flow of time returned to normal. The people on the street continued their normal lives under the mutated sky, while Sandora's mental connection told me to hurry back.
"What's wrong?"
When I returned to the living room, I was surprised to see that Lin Xue was there as well. It was obvious that she had just rushed over. Although I wanted to guess if this lass had rushed over to freeload for breakfast again, looking at her solemn expression, I knew that Great Prophet Lin was unusually serious this time.
"Did you see the abnormality outside?"
As I expected, Lin Xue opened her mouth with such a sentence.
"An extremely terrible future." Lin Xue threw herself onto the sofa with a gloomy expression. "If we don't solve the problem quickly, I'm afraid that this city will be completely distorted by some kind of power and it will disappear from the Main Material Plane. Also, from what I can see, the future of Earth is equally bleak. It is an incomprehensible calamity. This planet seems to have been directly turned into a state of 'destruction' by something, and the dusk sky that you see now is the beginning of the distortion. The abnormalities that have appeared all over the world can't even be considered a prelude."
"What's going on?" I asked impatiently. The girl who possessed prophetic powers did not answer my question, but raised her hand to point at Bubble who was standing beside her. "I just saw a little bit of future guidance. Bubble has analyzed the source of this crisis."
"A fragment of a world," Bubble said with a rare solemn expression. "The initial judgment is that it is a destroyed world, but for some unknown reason, that world was not disintegrated by the Void. Instead, it turned into fragments of various sizes, and the largest fragment had intersected with this world about half a month ago. The similarity of the information patterns between the two worlds caused the intersection that should have brushed past each other to turn into a catastrophic collision. Now, that fragment from another plane has collided with this world's Rule system and is continuously fusing with the World's Rule. The recent abnormalities that have appeared all over the world are the results of this fusion developing to the extent that it can affect reality. As for this city … it might be the first point of contact from the collision, or that fragment has a high degree of 'compatibility' with this city. In short, this place has become the most severely distorted, and the Order of the real world could be replaced by the fragments of Chaos at any time."
Such a bizarre situation was truly unheard of. That was why after Bubble explained the situation as simply as possible for half a day, I roughly understood things like world fragments and Rule corruption. But compared to the unimaginable collision of worlds, the first thing that came to my mind was another matter.
"What about Jingle? As the manager of the world, she couldn't possibly not have noticed the anomaly in her territory, right? "
"That's the problem. The Goddess had noticed the anomaly half a month ago, but that anomaly was directed in the wrong direction. When the Goddess followed the guidance of the World Tree to troubleshoot the problem, she realized that it was just a false alarm. As a result, the collision of the world fragments was covered up by that false alarm. It was only when the fragments passed their dormant period and began to corrode this world that we realized everything."
"Err … Miss Liliana?" I stared at the fake loli who was struggling in the basket not long ago in astonishment. The fake loli in front of me was wearing a golden-edged and green-patterned ceremonial robe, holding a thick codex in one hand and the tree branch of the world in the other. She wore an emerald garland on her head and so on. She was exuding a holy aura from head to toe. Was she really the legendary black-bellied, venomous tongue, and Hidden M Physique Liliana?
"Why do I feel that your mind was filled with rude words that could pollute the world just a moment ago?" The priestess used a pure 45 ° angle of view to look at me from top to bottom. Then, she decisively headbutted my chin. "Anyway, let's talk about it now … Ah, it hurts, it hurts …"
Tsk, as the strongest ultraman in the world, the strength of my chin can be used to smash nuts … Err, speaking of which, where did this kind of subtle self-criticism come from?
"You mean, this might be a deliberate attack by someone?" The priestess held back Liliana, who was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws in an attempt to fight her boss. Her expression was exceptionally serious.
At this moment, I knew that my long vacation that lasted for half a month with great difficulty was already over.
"The collision and fusion of the fragments with this world shows a high degree of intelligence. Coupled with the previous misdirection of the Goddess, there must be someone manipulating it from behind the scenes." Liliana held the codex in one hand and waved the branch of the World Tree in the other. "We must enter that world fragment! First, we must find a way to separate it! In the name of the Goddess of Life! "
I swear, this was definitely the first time a certain fake loli used the name of Jingle to do something serious. Just think about how many wicked things she had done in the name of the little thing!
"Where's Jingle?" I looked around curiously. As the person with the highest responsibility for this incident, it was impossible for her not to be involved, right?
"The Goddess is in the Basilica of the World Tree. She wants to prepare a special passage that allows us to enter the world fragment. Although the phase device created by Schilling Technology can also send us in by changing phases, because the invading fragment has already fused with the real world, changing phases may cause damage to the real world. Using the Basilica of the World Tree to intervene will be safer." Liliana, who rarely entered a serious state, explained to us seriously. At this moment, I finally believed that even if she was a fake loli, she still had some integrity as a priestess.
"In short, we must carefully separate that world fragment from the real world." Liliana waved the branch of the World Tree, which served as a scepter, and said angrily, "Then, we will steal money, food, and territory! There are no human rights in a destroyed world!! "
… I retract my previous words.
