In the living room, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Only the gigantic grandfather clock on the opposite side was emitting a mechanical clacking sound.
"Pandora, Visca, stop playing around! Go inform Bubble, the Empire needs her! "
The two kids instantly put away the firearms that covered the entire living room, then disappeared from everyone's sight like a puff of smoke.
"Can you … say that again?" I pressed my left hand on the gigantic and extravagant suitcase and asked Ding Ling for confirmation with a serious expression.
"If I remember correctly, that's what the doll in the suitcase called itself. At 12: 30 at night, it suddenly smashed through the glass of the room and landed beside me. It was so arrogant that it didn't even want to say a word, and it had a bad temper."
Ding Ling also knew that the situation was strange, but she was even more certain that the stranger in front of her could deal with anything similar. Thus, with a face full of resentment, this missy who would never come to the temple for no reason began to pour out her grievances to us.
"Furthermore, it has a serious case of paranoia. From the first day it came to my house, it has been trying to find its father who has already died somewhere. It doesn't even realize how shocking it is for it to be a moving doll. In order to hide it, I almost broke my heart. Originally, I thought that I would be able to obtain a rare treasure and make a fortune, but in the end, I have to fork out money for X.O to treat its hind leg that was broken by Mercury Lamp … Err, can you pretend that I didn't say what I just said?"
It's fine, compared to a certain missy who relied on calculating the rent of an alien to revitalize her family, your greed is far from enough.
Moreover, speaking of X. O., it seemed to be the mongrel raised by Ding Ling's family with an X shape foreleg and an O shape hind leg. I really didn't expect that the stupid dog that is so familiar with everyone and is said to be able to slip away with anyone has not been abducted to a dog meat restaurant yet.
Mercury Lamp — — If I guessed correctly and the setting of this world is correct, this should be the name of the first doll in "Rosette Girl".
"Rosette Girl", I didn't watch this anime in its entirety, but after the veteran otaku's mother came to this house, I was forced to read about 40GB of related information. Excluding the parts that I slept through, the parts that I didn't understand, the parts that I swallowed with rice, and the parts that I forgot in the end, I still kept about 30% of the relevant plot. It seemed like the story was about seven living dolls fighting each other under the guidance of the God of Light, Rozen, and at the same time, collecting seven dragon balls that could grant wishes, so that they could complete the doll project, and finally give birth to a perfect level-6 girl. It was such a moving, moving, and touching post-modern urban psychic story that was filled with love and warmth …
I felt that if the child's mother knew that I would appear in the spare fuel tank of every battleship in the Empire's fleet the next day, was it an illusion?
Okay, okay, I know that I remembered something wrong, but in the story of Rosette Girl, there was indeed a doll named Mercury Lamp. She was the first doll created by the miracle puppeteer Rozen, but because Rozen suddenly gave up halfway through the creation process, she didn't get a complete body. Even so, she still respected and admired her creator, and she wanted to win the battle against her sisters at all costs, and become the final perfect body: a human body that listens to the will of the heavens … Cough cough, the perfect girl named Alice finally proved in front of her "father" that she wasn't any worse than any of her sisters, and that she wasn't a "defective product". Then, what Ding Ling mentioned …
"Searching the entire world for her father who knows where he died", was probably referring to Mercury Lamp's attempt to find Rozen?
I had a pair of younger sisters who wanted to raise the Crystal Cross flag all over the world, and I had to constantly appease and suppress them, so I somewhat understood Ding Ling's headache.
To be able to successfully keep Mercury Lamp in her room until now, Ding Ling, from a certain standpoint, you won.
"Child's father, are you looking for me?"
A voice suddenly sounded behind me, interrupting my analysis of whether the Rosette Girls were collecting Dragon Ball or the Forty-two-chapter Sutra. Bubble, who had just sneaked back to her game, was dragged over by Pandora and the others.
"We obtained a treasure chest. You're lucky, you open it."
As I said that, I bent down and picked up the child's mother, who was only 1.1 meters tall, and placed her on the table that seemed rather grand to her.
"Sealed in this treasure chest is the girl who transmigrated through time, Mercury Lamp."
Once again, the living room became so silent that you could hear a pin drop. Crap, the series of events just now made it difficult for my thoughts to return to the right track.
Bubble was stunned for a long time, and then she cutely tilted her head, "Eh?"
"Anyway, let's open this chest first … Ding Ling, how do we open this thing?"
I had already noticed that the suitcase was different from what I remembered. In anime or manga, the suitcase that the Rosette Girls lived in looked very similar to an ordinary suitcase. The lock on it was set to look like it could be opened by anyone who had been detained before with a celery stick. However, the suitcase that Ding Ling brought seemed to be one piece. In fact, other than the handle and the complex patterns on the surface, the entire suitcase didn't even have a crack. I reckon that I should be able to cut it open with a military knife, but whether or not I would be chased by the bad-tempered doll inside was a problem.
"Well, the person inside has to be willing to open it," Ding Ling said as she touched the suitcase, "You can't open it from the outside. Before coming here, I coaxed Mercury Lamp to sleep, but she should be awake now, right?"
You carried a suitcase all the way here, how could the person inside fall asleep!?
"Hey, hey, I say — —" While our attention was focused on the box, Bubbles, who had been called over and left to the side, finally protested. The 1.1m tall little 'loli' had a huge height advantage on the table. At this moment, she was smacking my head. "My child's father, did you say that there is a mercury lamp in this box? Rosette Girl? "
I noticed that her eyes were shining with the same light as when Little Bubble bravely captured Golden Sparkle, and my heart immediately shivered: Host Schilling's obsession with objects is about to go out of control?
"That's what she called herself. Yeah, a silver-haired girl wearing a black gothic dress," Ding Ling answered Bubble.
Following this confirmation, a certain otaku's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she suddenly carried the big black suitcase, turned around and ran, "Then I won't be polite!"
"Hey! You crazy girl, stop right there! " I quickly grabbed the suitcase by the side and forcefully dragged it back. Bubble carried the suitcase and ran on the spot while shouting: "Wu, let go, let go of the child's father! This is a real 1: 1 replica of a real limited edition figurine! No matter what, I have to put it in the storage room and burn incense three times a day! Mercury Lamp, the real Mercury Lamp! I feel like my mercury lamp will forever fall into the hands of the child's father if he touches it! What lolicon, it's fine as long as the child's father has me, but no matter what, please let go of Mercury Lamp!! "
You damn otaku, you should at least have a limit to your incoherent speech!!
"Bang!" A huge knock directly smashed onto Bubble's head, causing the otaku who was already confused due to her soul going berserk to cover her head and crouch down. Hmph, fighting with me, not only did you not enforce the authority of the husband, you're also rebelling … Hey, why did I suddenly acknowledge the child's father! Also, what figurines, even if Mercury Lamp is a doll, you shouldn't associate her with those weird figurines!
"Click — —"
Just as I was in the midst of a ruckus with my husband and everyone was in a daze, a slight clicking sound suddenly sounded. Regardless of whether it was me, who was scolding my child's mother, or Bubbles, who was hugging her head and squatting down, both turned around and stared intently at the source of the sound.
The huge suitcase that fell on the table when I and Bubble were messing around — — fell from a height of one meter, and inside it was Alaya who should have woken up.
Thus, a gap appeared on the gorgeous black suitcase out of nowhere. After it slowly opened, a certain 92.3cm doll first faced a large crowd of onlookers, as well as a pair of especially bright and fanatical eyes in front of the crowd.
"Wow! As expected of the child's father, it's Mercury Lamp! 1: 1! It can move! And it can even blink … Oh my god, I love it so much, I must definitely get it, I must definitely get it … Ah, it hurts! "
I struck the back of Bubble's head with a karate chop, forcing her to crouch down again. "Nonsense! It was alive in the first place … What was it, mercury lamp, right? Nice to meet you … "
"Stay away from me!"
Halfway through my smile, which I thought was warm and friendly, the doll girl in front of me, who had recovered from her slight panic, unceremoniously pushed away my daddy's hand. Then, she suddenly flew into the air and stood at a safe distance from us, looking at the strange strangers in front of her with extreme vigilance.
Alright, as expected, it was difficult to get close to her.
During the confrontation, I also had the opportunity to observe the doll girl in the air.
If one disregarded her 92.3cm height and the black feathers on her back, she looked no different from an ordinary human girl.
Her silver-white hair flowed like mercury as she floated in the air. She had a pair of magenta eyes that were like gems, and her gaze was also as hard and distant as gems. Her slightly pale skin and delicate yet cold facial features formed the beautiful yet distant face of Mercury Lamp. She wore a black hairband on her head, and she wore a black gothic dress with a cross, rose, and bow decorations on the hem.
Beautiful, noble, distant, and cold, all these feelings were intertwined on a doll. Although I knew that the girl in front of me was an artificial life born from alchemy (to be appraised), I had to admit that Mercury Lamp's 92.3cm height contained such a rich and distinct temperament. Everyone must have noticed that I kept mentioning the number 92.3cm, because Pandora and Visca beside me were already starting to burn. The two little ones finally found a target who had a more mature appearance than them, but was not as tall as them. The huge force field around them called "self-preservation" forced me to focus on Mercury Lamp's height!
The doll named Mercury Lamp flew in the air, and her magenta eyes narrowed slightly. She looked at the people below her vigilantly, and her face was cold and distant. Yep, there was also an expression of panic.
The reason for her panic was obviously a certain otaku girl who was jumping and shouting.
"Hey! Hey! Mister chairman (Note)! Come down! Come down and let me hug you! I'm your loyal fan, you know! Hey! Hey … "
"Don't come over!" Mercury Lamp watched as the strange little girl bounced higher and higher, and in the end, jumped more than two meters, almost grabbing onto her skirt. Mercury Lamp, who was originally a little confused, immediately straightened her body. "Damn it, who are you people! What are you trying to do … Wait, human woman, is this your scheme?! You lied to me saying that you were looking for someone who could help me find my father, and in the end, it turned out to be such a trap?! "
Hey, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Have you ever seen anyone ambushing with a bunch of dolls!
At the same time, the Bubble was still bouncing, and the Schilling Host who was burning with passion had completely forgotten about the basic skills of Shiring Apostles, including Space Jump and Anti-Gravity Flight. It only cared about using the simplest method to try and catch the dancing doll, and as it bounced, it trampled all over the living room … Hey! Do you want to tear down the house?
"Hmm, hmm, looks like I've finally found someone as unlucky as me. Although it's just a strange little person, This Queen is very satisfied, very satisfied!" Jill, who was bound to Little Bubble's equipment and had no right to speak, finally found a chance to interject. Looking at the black goth loli who was being chased by the Bubble, a certain blonde tragic flat-chested Heroic Spirit nodded its head repeatedly, and let Little Bubble hug its waist out of habit. "As expected of sisters, they both have the same bad interests. Tsk."
So this brat had always thought that Bubble and Little Bubble were sisters?
"Damn it! Don't get too carried away! "
The doll who had been chased for a long time finally recovered from the initial panic, and at that moment, its face was filled with unconcealable anger. How could Mercury Lamp, who had always thought highly of herself, tolerate such a predicament? After calming down a little, she locked her target — the only man in the room.
"So you're the commander — — Become trash for me!"
Along with such a loud shout, a blanket of black feathers came attacking them.
"Damn it! I got shot even though I was lying down! "
Only the heavens knew how Mercury Lamp was able to tell that I had a special identity here. In any case, the doll, who should have been aggroed by Bubble, directly locked its attack on me, and without any warning, it rained down a storm of black feathers in my direction.
The seemingly weak black feathers were actually sharper than a knife and had a speed no slower than a bullet. Mercury Lamp's attack was actually like a full-powered metal storm, and before I could even react, I was completely enveloped by the black feathers.
Then, there was a series of cracking sounds.
Everyone was calmly watching, and not a single one of them came to my rescue — — By the way, even if you're just here to watch a show, you shouldn't have that pitying expression of someone who was shot while lying down! Shallow Shallow, where's your Time Stop? Big Sister, where's your Misfortune Reversal? At the very least, Sandora, give me a claw!
The storm of attacks lasted for about three seconds, but Mercury Lamp's face gradually showed a look of astonishment. Why didn't the man's accomplices panic at all, and even the places that were hit by her attacks didn't have any blood splatters?
While I was hesitating, Mercury Lamp's attacks gradually stopped, and the storm of black feathers dissipated, revealing the true situation below.
Holding onto a bottomless teacup, I maintained my upright posture, and beneath a certain someone was the remains of a sofa that only had wooden blocks left. The ground was filled with broken wood shavings and terrazzo stones, some of which belonged to the sofa, and some of which belonged to the coffee table. The entire scene looked like a performance artist sitting in ruins, contemplating.
What the hell, is this considered performance art!
With a head full of 'chicken feathers', the teacup in my hand that was originally filled with Anveena's deep love now had a large hole in it, and with a slight tremble of my fingers, the hole in the teacup fell to the ground with a 'kacha', leaving only a handle in my hand.
I didn't need a mirror to know how post-modern my current appearance was.
"Pui pui …" I spat out the feathers in my mouth, which I had accidentally swallowed when I raised my head in surprise. "Even if I can bear with it, I can't! Grab this … Hey! The two of you, put away your ground-based missiles! "
"Don't use your abilities, don't hurt her! We all fight with our bare hands! "
"Sandora, put away your claws! If you slap her, I can already see the sewer pipe behind the wall! "
"Big Sister, I beg you to stop drawing circles, our house can't withstand the Mammoth Streaking Group!"
"Anveena, don't just focus on running, use your agility to your advantage … Jill! You idiot, put away your Obedient Sword! Watch over your little ancestor, let her make a rocket launcher, and you can sleep on the streets tonight! Who's going to block the windows and doors? Activate the defensive barrier, the Empire Headquarters is now in a state of emergency! "
For a moment, the entire living room was in a state of chaos, and the ground shook.
I didn't know if it was because there were too many restrictions, or because Mercury Lamp's agility was too high, or because Shallow Shallow and the others were just watching for fun, but the little doll that I thought would be easily caught actually caused quite a bit of chaos.
Fortunately, Ding Ling was frightened by Anveena the first time she visited, and she screamed and tore down the entire living room. After that, Pandora used a super interstellar alloy and a psionic force field to reinforce the house, so the current chaos wasn't enough to destroy my unlucky house — at least, not yet.
"Brother Monarch! Get out of the way! "
Just as I was busy jumping high into the air to catch the doll girl, a certain silly cat angel suddenly shouted from behind me. I turned around in astonishment, only to see a barrage of pure-white feathers covering the sky and earth as they flew towards me.
… You idiot, don't tell others to get out of the way after you attack!
I barely dodged the barrage of Alaya's barrage and landed on the ground with a loud bang.
The playful younger angel sister, upon seeing Mercury Lamp's black feather attack, imitated him and used her own holy feather to form a similar barrage of bullets, exchanging shots with Mercury Lamp in high spirits. The spacious living room immediately became a stage for a barrage of bullets, with black and white feathers sweeping through the air like a storm. While Alaya and Mercury Lamp unleashed a sea of attacks, they were also constantly dodging the barrage of bullets. Strictly speaking, Alaya's ability to dodge the barrage of bullets was quite weak. She was completely relying on her bug-like Apostle Physique to resist the attacks, while Mercury Lamp relied on her nimble figure and her opponent's noob barrage technique to evade the barrage of bullets. It gave the impression that Alaya was a boss with high HP but high attack but low technique, while Mercury Lamp was a gamer with low HP but low attack but low technique. Mercury Lamp, on the other hand, was excitedly farming the final boss named Alaya. If Mercury Lamp really had a controller behind the scenes, then it would undoubtedly be a tentacle-class monster.
Beside me, Bubble raised her head to look at the two people fighting a barrage of bullets in the air and muttered to herself, "What a barrage, what a good barrage … Young Swordsman, you really have good skills …"
Bubble's muttering jolted me back to my senses, and I immediately roared towards the sky.
"Alaya, you idiot! Our house isn't the Red Demon Tavern, don't play with the Orient here! "
"Boom!!" Almost as soon as I finished shouting, the roof finally broke through …
The interior was lined with flagship-grade super interstellar alloy, and it was protected by psionic energy at all times. The roof, which was originally thought to be invincible on Earth, finally broke through under Alaya's relentless barrage of attacks.
Following Alaya's sorrowful cry of "I'm in trouble!", the barrage also came to a halt. The idiot angel knew that she was in trouble and hurriedly braked, while Mercury Lamp froze on the spot in shock.
Those seemingly harmless feathers just now … were actually so … powerful!
Even with her full strength, she was unable to leave a single mark on the strange walls and ceiling of this place, but the enemy actually managed to blast a huge hole in the roof!?
Just as Mercury Lamp was in a daze, a bunch of violent people of all sizes finally found an opportunity to rush forward and suppress the puppet girl who had caused such a huge commotion at the bottom of the Arhat Mountain.
