From the beginning, I had a feeling that I might have forgotten something. This feeling became more and more serious as time passed. Finally, I couldn't help but count the number of people in the house. Only then did I realize that the disaster might have been brewing for as long as six hours.
I remembered Mercury Lamp, who had wrapped herself up like a blanket because of her terrible sleeping posture. I also remembered that I had used more than half a coil of high-strength lasso to tie her to the bed.
This incident was like a bolt of lightning that pierced through the sky. It stimulated my trigeminal nerve all the way to the cervical nerve bundle. I could almost see the enraged puppet girl rushing down from the second floor at supersonic speed. After knocking away Little Bubble and Liliana who were passing by, she pounced on me. She hugged my head and started biting crazily. Soon, I realized that it was actually not an illusion. The stinging pain on my scalp reached seventeen times per second.
Then, I found out how the puppet escaped. Mercury Lamp slept until ten o 'clock. Then, she realized that someone was joking with her. In the next half an hour, she pulled and kicked my blanket and bed. In fact, the blanket was almost completely destroyed in the first five minutes. However, the sturdy composite rope was a huge problem. Mercury Lamp's remaining one and a half canine teeth played a big role. She bit through two-thirds of the rope. My bed, on the other hand, was split into sixteen different sizes under the young girl's monstrous strength. The initial diagnosis was that it could only be used as firewood.
After escaping, Mercury Lamp angrily waited on the second floor. She set up twenty-eight mouse traps, fifteen banana peels, and two buckets of cold water mixed with ice on the door. She also prepared a holographic camera facing the door and a stomach full of resentment. However, her preparation was obviously not enough to deal with such a scene. When it was almost lunchtime, we still hadn't returned. The puppet started to panic. She planned to go to the door to see what was going on. If she didn't care about her pride and asked Anveena for help, perhaps the following series of disasters wouldn't have happened.
However, that was just a hypothesis. The moment Mercury Lamp pushed open the door, she activated all the traps …
That was why the puppet that rushed down from the second floor was wearing a different set of clothes, and its hair was wet. Moreover, it carried far more anger than I had imagined.
Although I wanted to say that the latter half of the disaster was her own doing, I knew that there was no reason to reason with a puppet girl who had already entered a domineering state. Anveena apologized profusely. When she called Mercury Lamp down for lunch, she was surprised to see the mess in the room. She also saw the unlucky girl with rat traps and banana peels all over her body. At that time, Mercury Lamp could no longer hold back her anger.
"Why didn't you warn me when I came in?"
I felt very depressed as I carried the Mercury Lamp who was still scratching and biting.
"Master is discussing important matters, so the maid can only stand at the side."
An Weina said in a serious tone.
I felt that this sentence was full of rebuttals, but when it came from Anveena, I couldn't refute it at all.
After the silver-haired puppet girl vented her anger on my head, she crawled down while grumbling. At this time, Miriya also finished her shower. She changed into the clothes that Anveena had given her and appeared in front of us.
The originally dirty girl washed off the dirt on her body and changed into a new set of clothes. She finally looked radiant and was like a completely different person. She had shoulder-length soft blonde hair, blue-brown eyes, fair skin, and a youthful face that was between a young girl and a loli. Although she wasn't as cute as Pandora or as beautiful as Sandora, she gave off the feeling of a girl-next-door. This made us exclaim in surprise, and we all sighed at the greatness of Shufujia and Piaorou.
"It feels a little tight." Miriya tugged at the clothes on her body uncomfortably. It seemed that she wasn't used to the clothes of this world. Of course, we couldn't rule out the possibility that she was secretly mocking the troublesome Shirai Kuroko's washboard body. How sad, Kuroko.
"Erm, when can you send me home?" Miriya realized that everyone's gaze was focused on her, and she couldn't help but feel nervous. Then, she recalled the problem that she was most concerned about.
Sandora opened a teleportation door that led to the shadow space. "That takes time. Even for us, we need to lock onto the coordinates to teleport across worlds. Of course, if you can cooperate and use the Information Terminal in your hand, you might be able to go home in a few days."
Miriya's jaw dropped as she looked at the dimensional door that had appeared out of nowhere. It was flowing with mysterious light. She came from another world and knew summoning spells, so she shouldn't have been that surprised by this surreal scene. What she was really surprised about was something else. "Wow … Who are you people? I've been in this world for more than a month, and the ordinary people here don't seem to know about magic and mental power. Why do you people know about these things? "
"We? We're just an anomaly among humans. " Lin Xue shrugged. Her tone was very subtle. "There are also non-humans among humans, super types among non-humans, and fantasy breeds among super types. We're different from the ordinary people outside."
Lin Xue didn't finish her sentence. I thought to myself, This is still a conservative estimate. You can't be too serious with the head of state's family. For us, if we were to form a circle, it would be enough to hold a people's congress …
"Should we go in?" Miriya looked at the dimensional door in front of her worriedly. She didn't seem to believe in the 'mysterious technology of this world'. Liliana pushed her waist as we walked in. "Aiyah, don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and go in. Those who transmigrated to this world have to stay in the shadow city. If you run around outside every day, it will put the Goddess of this world in a difficult position. Just admit it. If ordinary people don't have special circumstances, they won't even be able to get a temporary residence permit if they want to enter the shadow space without the merit of saving the world! "
After the two of them disappeared into the dimensional door, the few of us followed Liliana and Miriya in.
The exit of the dimensional door was set in front of the military tunnel near the Dimensional Hub Square. Facing the tunnel was the military zone that was filled with intergalactic sci-fi colors. Miriya, who had just come out of the dimensional door, was so shocked that her jaw dropped. She gaped at the sight before her in bewilderment. There was a military base that was filled with a metallic texture and sturdy lines, a majestic array of dimensional doors, a tall psionic tower that pierced through the clouds, and all kinds of flying objects shuttling between these magnificent futuristic buildings. There were high-altitude military patrol planes, low-altitude civilian shuttles, the magic carpet of the blood elves, a twin-headed golden dragon that was spiraling down from the distance, and a monkey raven that swooped down from the sky at 120 miles per hour to smash the head of an unlucky scorpion.
"Welcome to the dark side of the world. This is the shadow city, your home for the next few days."
As the host, I felt that I should enthusiastically introduce this city that was filled with brilliance. However, I realized that Miriya was already walking forward in a daze, staring at the cluster of psionic towers in the distance.
"Holy Ruins … Holy Ruins!" Miriya suddenly ran over and waved her arms excitedly. "It's the Holy Ruins! It's so complete! And it's even glowing! Is this city built directly on top of the Holy Ruins? Are you people from the Church of Pale Blue?! "
Looking at the slightly confused young lady before me, I knew that she must have mixed up the concepts of the two worlds. I was also surprised that this person could be so slow. Miriya's reaction was so intense that Lin Xue had to press her to the ground to calm her down. Miriya's reaction made Sandora and I look at each other and smile. We felt that we must have gained something unexpected this time. No matter where Mobrador was, it definitely had a lot of Empire's relics in its territory. Based on Miriya's situation, we had reason to believe that the intelligent beings of Mobrador had started to use the power of the Empire's relics to strengthen their civilization. What was more precious was that they had not gone astray yet. There was no better news than this.
Next, I introduced the city to Miriya. What was more satisfying was that Miriya actually had some knowledge about parallel space, alternate space technology, and spatial duplication. Even though it wasn't very relevant, she understood the origin of the city after a little prompting. We couldn't help but suspect to what extent planet Mobrador had used the Empire's relics. They seemed to have mastered alternate space technology and a certain level of mysticism. However, on the other hand, Miriya knew nothing about the concept of interstellar travel that I had casually mentioned. It seemed that on her planet, humans had yet to rush out of the solar system. At most, they had established colonies on the moon. It was unbelievable. They had mastered interstellar technology, but they couldn't even build a spaceship?
"That's amazing …" Miriya looked at the scenery around her in amazement. "The technology to establish a stable colony in an alternate space, and those dimensional doors have the power to travel between worlds? You will use this to send me home, right? "
The elder sister nodded with a smile. She seemed to like Miriya's reckless but innocent personality. "Don't be afraid. Although you may think that this is a big deal, we have dealt with more than one or two similar cases here."
Miriya inexplicably found the strength to calm herself down from her elder sister's smile. The lingering fear and vigilance finally dissipated. She looked around in surprise and passion, and finally realized that there was one thing that she could not figure out. "Wait a minute, why do you have so many … Holy Relics? And the Sacred Compass … Who are you guys? I've asked a few times, but you didn't answer my question. "
"That's because you wouldn't understand even if I did, right?" I chuckled. "However, if I had to explain it in a way that you can understand, the so-called Holy Ruins and Sacred Disk are actually our things. We created the so-called Holy Ruins and Sacred Disk."
Amelia's eyes widened as I continued to speak.
"Later on, due to some special reasons, we lost a lot of our assets. The Information Terminal that you treasure is one of those assets. We have never heard of which world Mobrador is, but it could have been our territory millions of years ago …"
"Wait a minute! You're saying … You're the people who created the Holy Relics?! Then aren't you … "Miriya looked at me in shock, and even stuttered." Aren't you the Sage? Are you kidding me? How is that possible? How can an existence like the Sage look like you … Ah, I don't mean anything else, but the Sage, the Sage, how can you be the Sage! "
Miriya spoke incoherently, as though she couldn't accept the fact that we were the owners of the Holy Relics that she had mentioned. I didn't know how precious the relics left behind by the Xiling Empire in Mobrador were for a little girl who didn't know much about the world to revere them to such an extent. But Miriya's words were really rude. What do you mean we look like? Can't a passerby be the leader of the Empire? Is it my fault that I look ordinary?
Speaking of which, as the leaders of top civilizations, I'm really sorry that we don't have three heads, six arms, and a hairy face. Our team looks like this. None of us look powerful. At most, Sandora has claws when she transforms, and I'm a little darker than you after I transform. But don't you think that if this bunch of girls didn't look like this, this book would have gone the novelty route? You have to consider the public's sense of beauty! Nonsense!
But no matter what, Miriya still accepted this explanation with skepticism. She seemed to be very excited, and kept asking about things like the Flash of Creation, the passing of the Sage, and the Great Miracle. We naturally had a headache when it came to these things that we had never heard of before. Tens of thousands of years had passed. Who knew how the humans of Mobrador had unearthed the relics of the Empire, and no one knew how they interpreted the technology within. Naturally, no one could understand Miriya's questions.
As for Mobrador, a world that we had only heard of for the first time, we came up with a conjecture based on our experience. For a civilization that had developed from an uncivilized period, it was likely that they would see it as some sort of miracle when they first came into contact with advanced technology. As their civilization developed, even if they could eventually analyze these things with scientific methods, the legends about miracles would also be integrated into every aspect of the civilization, and passed down like a culture. That was perhaps the current state of Miriya's homeland. Despite having a considerable degree of civilization's achievements, they still called the Information Terminal the Holy Disk, and the Psionic Tower the Holy Ruin. These bizarre names did not necessarily have the power of religion, but they definitely represented how the humans of Mobrador viewed the relics of the Empire at a certain stage of civilization.
In the end, it was Big Sis who calmed the excited Miriya with her gentle attacks, and ordered the orderlies to arrange a place for her to stay near the military zone. It was a special treatment, and in exchange, we requested to study her 'Holy Disk'. This time, Miriya readily agreed, partly because she felt that there was a seventy percent chance that we were the legendary 'Sage', and partly because Lin Xue had pulled out a huge stack of Information Terminals, and promised Miriya that she would compensate her with ten if she broke one.
The power of a tycoon was great.
When a problem was solved, it often meant that follow-up work should begin. Now that the source of the supernatural incident had been dealt with, all that was left was to clean up the scene of the incident. What was up with Miriya's power had yet to be studied, but the trouble she had left behind would not dissipate anytime soon. Every time she used a summoning spell, the spiritual world of a large area around her would materialize, and the materialization seemed to be weakening very slowly. Often, the people there would still be troubled by the horrific phenomenon days after Miriya left a place. That was why we had sent out some ravens and heroic spirits to clean up the influence.
Shallow Shallow was a little gloomy. Her Boundless Great Love had only been lively for a few days before closing down, which left the girl who had planned to have a few months of fun pouting all day long. Still, I thought that it was a good thing that Great Love had closed down. If such an organization was doing well every day, how bad would Earth be?
Another thing that needed to be dealt with was the pile of supernatural objects that appeared during the supernatural outbreak. Most of them had developed self-consciousness due to the spiritual remnants of humans, and while their consciousness was a mess, they were still half alive. After some discussion, we agreed that it was not very ethical to refine them, but it was also a little exaggerated to treat them as citizens. In the end, the problem was solved by our omnipotent chief maid: Anveena took away all the supernatural objects, saying that she wanted to keep them as pets …
Originally, Anveena didn't have a room, so she built a nest on the cabinet in the living room. Now, the spirit maid also wanted a big room to store her new toys. It was a challenge to our worldview, but it was also the first time the little maid made a request to me, so I had no reason not to agree. So, I had to empty the basement for the little maid. (God bless me, the only independent room in my house that could store so many things was the basement). Now, the basement of the Chen family's mansion had become a real haunted house. There were bleeding mirrors, crying dolls, walking dolls, floating will-o '-the-wisps, and Sadako. Although I found out that those supernatural objects were simple and easy to get along with after coming into contact with them, it was just that the hidden consciousness of humans made them look scary, but with so many things piled up in one place, it was hard to not be careful. Anveena's basement had become the scariest area in the Chen family's mansion, and I was afraid that it was the only independent room in the entire Southeast Asia.
I really couldn't believe how my house would end up.
We analyzed the Information Terminal in Miriya's hands, and the results left many puzzled. It was indeed a creation of the Xiling Empire, and its structure was identical to that of an officer's Information Terminal. But as Sandora discovered at the beginning, it had no serial number or identification code. Most Imperial Army products would not be without those two things. Every one of our devices was a member of the information link, and the unique identification code was the final key that allowed these devices to be used and enter the Empire's information network. But Miriya's Information Terminal was an exception.
No one could tell what that meant, but the most direct explanation was that the Empire's legacy in Mobrador had completely broken away from the 'Schilling Information Network' system, and became like the machines made by Earthlings. According to Miriya, the Holy Pagoda and the Holy Relic were the wealth left behind by the Sage after he left. So why would the vanished Shiring Apostles unlock all their military equipment before they left so that normal humans could use them? It was really puzzling.
Perhaps we could only find out the truth by going to Mobrador to see for ourselves.
