In the end, Jingle's new mount was thrown into the Basilica of the Yggdrasill. Most of us couldn't accept the fact that we shared a bowl of soup with a mouse, even though the mouse's name was Pikachu and it could emit a billion volts of lightning.
After dinner, William hurriedly said goodbye to us. He had completed his treatment, and he felt that his life might be in danger if he continued to stay with our strange family. Before he left, William looked at Jingle in surprise. This was within my expectations, but we weren't afraid of any trouble. As a senior in the dark world, William was experienced and knowledgeable. The more he saw, the easier it was for him to accept things that he hadn't seen before. In the end, William didn't ask anything about the palm-sized creature. Perhaps he thought that Jingle was an artificial pet created by some mysterious technology. Anyway, that was how he understood the existence of the Mercury Lamp.
I had to say, it was fortunate that he didn't say what he thought might be rude. Otherwise, the living room would have been destroyed by a thunderstorm.
Ding Ling and Lin Feng didn't go home after dinner. They were sent to the medical center in the City of Shadows. Lin Xue and I personally went to send them off.
"Wow, this thing is really high-tech."
Lin Feng clicked his tongue in wonder as he looked at the complicated equipment around him and the oddly-shaped medical cabin beneath him. Despite his powerful sister's covetous gaze, he could not help but want to poke around, just like Miss Lin when she first saw the equipment of the empire. "Brother Chen, how much does this equipment cost?"
I was stunned. I never thought that the first question a billionaire would ask after seeing other people's household appliances was how much it cost. This question was too commonplace.
Of course, there was no doubt that the equipment here was expensive. Any item here, even an automatic toothbrush, could only be studied in Area 51. It couldn't be replicated. How much do you think it costs?
Anyway, three to five technological revolutions wouldn't be enough.
"You can't buy it with money anyway." While the staff in the medical center was adjusting the machine, I casually chatted with him. "Back then, your sister tore apart a lot of my things. From the medical cabin to the entire spaceship, there wasn't anything that she didn't destroy. So, she sold herself to repay her debt."
"Don't make me sound like the two fellows who worked in the City of Shadows to redeem their freedom." Lin Xue kicked me and sat down next to the medic cabin. She said the second half of her sentence to Lin Feng, "Little b * stard, report to me immediately if there's such a situation in the future. This isn't the time to be stubborn. Do you think that the earthlings can solve such a situation by themselves?"
Ding Ling was lying in the medical bay next to them. She said helplessly, "Who knew that the situation would be so complicated? The explosion of energy from the moon's surface reminded us of aliens, but we didn't expect it to be related to you guys. Of course, he was a little stubborn at the end. The leader of Team Five even wanted to expel the energy from his body … How depressing, what exactly is this thing? We've used the most advanced technology, but we don't even have a clue. "
"Psionic radiation and ancient memories work together, resulting in recessive genetic mutation and switching of battle stance. This is the common saying in the Empire," Lin Xue extended her hand to help Ding Ling close the cover of the medical bay. "Atlanteans will have a blue light tattoo on a part of their body when they are in battle. However, the weak body of modern humans can't withstand the battle stance of the Man-made Gods from seven hundred thousand years ago."
I looked at the cross pattern on the cover of the medical bay and the strange rectangular structure of the medical bay. I sighed, "Do you think that they would be traumatized when they wake up and realize that they're lying in the same coffin?"
"B * stard! I'm angry the moment you mention it! " Lin Xue immediately jumped over and pinched my ear. "Who was the one who forcefully put me in a coffin back then? After harming me, you still want to harm my younger brother! Are you going to care about Tawil's weird sense of beauty?! "
"Who cares about her?" I covered my face with my hand and sighed. "That guy even wanted to change all the beds in the outer dormitory area yesterday. He almost caused a demonstration."
Lin Xue ignored my habitual joking. Instead, she leaned on my shoulder and said softly, "Blockhead, I'm afraid things won't be so peaceful this time. Are you prepared?"
"Prepared? Prepared for what? "I was stunned.
"All the special metahumans in the world will go on a rampage. Then, an organization will appear out of nowhere and suppress all the unusual species by themselves. Not a single member of the organization will be affected by the moon's energy." Lin Xue extended her finger and poked my chest like a child who couldn't stop her hand. "Do you think humans will be able to calm down after thinking about this?"
I didn't speak.
"The reason why the unusual species will go on a rampage is that the ancient genes they inherited from Atlantis have been activated. However, no one knows the reason. They will only know that when the entire world is infected, only a group of people are the exception. This is not a good sign. Of course, the laws of the dark world are different from ordinary people's society. Perhaps they can use the special characteristics of the 'unusual species' to get away with it. However, do you think the countries will keep quiet after such a big commotion?"
"You've been helping to settle this matter, right?"
I felt a headache coming on. Missy's meaning was very clear. The moon's energy explosion this time was different from any of our previous operations on Earth. The chain reaction it triggered was already impossible to suppress. Although human's modern technology had been developing, the 'unusual species' were still an uncontrollable factor that was equivalent to the world's nuclear bombs. Originally, these uncontrollable factors were more or less restraining each other. Moreover, the power of the country was inextricably linked to these unusual species and had different degrees of control over them. Therefore, the normal society and the dark world would mind their own business and maintain a relatively independent but compromising balance. However, the moon's energy explosion this time had made the situation unprecedentedly complicated.
Humans were very good at imagining things. If you didn't give them a definite answer, they would come up with countless schemes and plots. It was just like when the calendar left by the Mayans only showed 2012, humans would think that 2012 was the end of the world. However, the truth was that there was no place to engrave the calendar back then … "I don't care.
"I don't care. This matter is definitely going to blow up. The metahumans can't even take care of themselves." Lin Xue punched my chest hard. "Don't forget, there isn't a single mutated species in the world that can avoid this' gene activation '. By then, even my grandfather would have to find a medical cabin and lie in bed for a few days. How do you expect me to settle this? Get rid of it. Our people are all lying in bed! "
"D * mn, this is really troublesome."
The corner of my mouth twitched as I said. Then, I spread out my hands in frustration. "Who cares? There will always be a way out when the time comes. We can take as many steps as we can. Sandora thinks that we can't give too much stimulation to a fragile and fickle race like humans. Otherwise, they will decisively fall into the ditch at the critical moment of evolution. I think so too, but she didn't say that human society can't be fooled. We have the highest point of mysteriousness. We belong to a situation where the other party can't do anything but believe whatever we say. I will go back and ask Liliana and Shallow Shallow to work together to draft a script. What do you think of the idea of aliens observing Earth?"
Lin Xue looked at me in horror. "Let the two of them work together? Do you really have that much hatred for this world? "
"…"
The next day, I went to Shadow City early in the morning and went straight to the workers' dormitory. I went to find the two working girls who were residents of Monster Town but were used to living in Shadow City. Speaking of which, it was strange that the two of them actually got used to living here. They didn't even quit their jobs. One of them was a lazy bum who slacked off every day, while the other was a sleeping god who was in hibernation …
In the beginning, they were supposed to be working girls who tried all kinds of methods to escape from the abyss of suffering. Unfortunately, they were kidnapped by evil forces and had to work like cattle and horses. Every day, they were tortured and struggled to survive.
Although it was said to be a dormitory, the place where Ling Meng and the others lived wasn't the kind of dormitory that most people would imagine. There were only a single room and a bunch of iron beds. There were people checking on the dormitory every day and the lights were turned off at 10: 30 at night. The official workers' dormitory in Shadow City was built according to the residence of a president. It included the outrageous living room, the outrageous entertainment room, the outrageous bathhouse, the outrageous star-rated bedroom, and the outrageous single-family structure. In short, this was a dormitory from top to bottom. If I said that this was the residence of an Arab crown prince, people would believe me. Ling Meng and Purple occupied the one with the best lighting in the dormitory because Ling Meng liked to bask in the sun.
I knocked on the door for a long time before Ling Meng's lazy voice came from inside. I pushed the door open and walked into the living room. It turned out that Eight Cloud Purple had also woken up from her hibernation. The two girls were sitting side by side on the sofa in the living room, staring at the MDT in front of them. They looked as though they didn't have the time to talk to anyone. Because of the angle, I couldn't see what they were busy with. I could only see that Ling Meng had changed her clothes today. She was still wearing the shameless witch outfit that exposed her armpits, but she had changed to a sky blue one. Even the big bow behind her head was sky blue.
"Ling Meng, you finally changed your clothes?"
I walked forward and tugged on the other party's bow. My eyes drifted to the MDT in front of them. Suddenly, I was petrified.
"The 1P is dead. I'm the 2P." Ling Meng didn't even lift her head as she stared at the MDT, which was busy dodging the bullet screen. Eight Cloud Purple took the time to glance at me. "What's the matter? Let's play together? "
I continued to remain dumb.
After a while, Ling Meng's 2P died as well. She pouted unwillingly and went back into the house. When she came out, she had changed back into her red and white witch outfit. As she tied up her hair, she muttered to me, "Next time, don't tug on other people's bows. It's troublesome to tie them properly. Come, help me tie them."
"You have too much free time!" I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I looked at Ling Meng, who had returned to the 1P. I felt like I had a thousand words to say, but in the end, I couldn't say a single word. Liliana once said that the most useless criticism in the world was to complain about one's moral integrity. However, it seemed that complaining about Ling Meng was even more useless. Did she have any moral integrity?
"This is more immersive." Ling Meng excitedly started to fiddle with the MDT that she and Eight Cloud Purple had treated as a game console. She opened a web page with ease. "Look, I'm first in the ranking competition. Damn, no one can beat me! Qiluno is an idiot. No matter who she uses, it's always at the bottom … Ouch, ouch, ouch … "
I pinched Ling Meng's ear and tossed her shameless behavior aside. At the same time, I felt a deep sense of defeat. After I turned off their game console, I said solemnly, "We have a mission."
"I know," Purple nodded. "And it's the problem in the outside world, right? It's on Earth. "
I looked at the guy who had been shamelessly playing the bullet screen game with Ling Meng a moment ago. He smiled at me and took out a piece of paper from his pocket. It was a recruitment notice from Boundless Love …
"Do I even need to guess? It's not like I only know how to sleep all day, "Eight Cloud Purple looked at me with a sly smile." Plus, everyone knows that the monsters in Fantasy Land are the ones who have the most free time here. Naturally, you'll have to leave the matters in the world to us. But let me say this first. Some of the monsters might not be able to help. "
As I tied the butterfly knot for Ling Meng, I asked casually, "I know. Some are molting, some are laying eggs, and some are going to spring soon. There are definitely some that are inconvenient."
Eight Cloud Purple revealed a dumbfounded expression that she had never seen before. She muttered to herself, "Do you have any idea … I'm talking about those who are overreacting to the moon, such as Remilia and the others. I'm afraid that they will lose control after seeing the moon in the surface world. Many monsters are affected by the moon, and the ones with the most severe effects are not suitable to go out at this time."
"Don't worry." I stood up and prepared to leave. "The moon in this world is different from Fantasy Land. The energy explosion on the surface of the moon is directed against the genes of Atlantis. Plus, all of you have been living in Avalon for such a long time and have been absorbing Jingle's power every day. Now, all of your holy auras are extremely dense. You don't even need to pay for a ticket to travel to heaven.
"Really?" Purple's eyes lit up. Then, a golden figure popped out from an unknown corner of the room. The latter grabbed my arm and repeated, "Really?"
"Lan? When were you in the room? "
I looked at the nine-tailed fox in front of me in surprise. I really hadn't noticed that she was in the living room.
The fox girl's tail swayed back and forth a few times. "I have been lying at the door, but I was using my original form. When you came in, you wiped your shoes on my body."
I was dumbfounded. "I thought that was a shoe wiper …"
Lan turned around, feeling wronged. There was a large black mark on her third tail from the left. "Have you ever seen a shoe wiper with such thick ears?"
The fox girl had been hiding here since yesterday morning because she wanted to avoid the moon. Even though there was no evidence to prove that there was any connection between the moon of the surface world, the moon of the inner world, and the moon of Fantasy Village, Lan still felt anxious. The reason was that the matter caused by the moon's energy explosion seemed too serious. It caused all the metahumans in the world, including the metahumans on the other side of the earth, who couldn't see the moon at all, to lose control. Furthermore, it was related to something as troublesome as the legacy of the Empire, which was very stressful. Lan didn't understand the structure of the shadow space, nor did she know what ancient genes were. She was just like the other monsters. She could only gather a bunch of messy information from the City of Shadows forum and Boundless Love. Then, she would fill in the gaps in her own imagination and scare herself. On top of that, Hachi Yun Zi, who was a little evil, always bullied her Spirit-branded Retainers (that was the most important reason). Now, in Lan's mind, the outside world was already a bloody and gloomy place. Monsters from all over the world ran amok on the streets in broad daylight. Many innocent people and flowers died under the demonic blood-red moonlight. A little girl who suddenly bared her fangs bit her older sister to death and died alone. A monster father who lost his mind accidentally killed his own children on the uneven bars in a small park. White bones piled up on the ground, forming a pool of blood. Once the monsters from Fantasy Village entered the surface world, they would immediately attack Avalon without any regard for their own kin. Especially monsters like the nine-tailed fox, who would go crazy and rob a tofu shop under the demonic moonlight …
That was how Gamma Yunzi lied to her. Surprisingly, Blue actually believed her. That was why she was so surprised when she heard that nothing was happening outside. This was the disadvantage of being uncultured.
Blue told Gamma Yunzi about the situation outside and reminded Shallow Shallow not to cause too much trouble. He didn't have to worry about the other details. The Great Love Without Boundaries was already very familiar with causing trouble … saving the world's peace. Many of its members were even acquainted with the dark factions on Earth. And so, an alternative "Universal Health Care Plan" was launched without anyone noticing.
Of course, it was only unnoticed to ordinary people. In fact, the dark factions' special society was already in a state of chaos.
Today was the second day after the demons were released to cause trouble … to save the world. It was also the third day after the lunar collision incident. It could be said that this was the day when the entire incident fully revealed its power. According to the feedback, the world was currently in chaos.
The living room in our house had long since been converted into a command center. Now, it was finally put to use. Shallow Shallow decided to use our house as the headquarters for the Great Love Without Boundaries operation. Of course, we don't need to discuss the process. In short, if you walked into this living room right now, you would definitely think that you had accidentally transmigrated into an alien base. The world map and all kinds of energy readings that you couldn't understand floated in the air. It was as if someone was planning to conquer the world here.
In the center of the living room was a giant holographic projection. On it was a real-time map of the world. The map was filled with moving red lights. Lin Xue was explaining the situation to us next to the projection. "Asia, 350,000 people, Europe, 220,000 people, Africa, 140,000 people, North and South America … 200,000 people, Australia … There aren't many people, but there are more than 10,000 mutated kangaroos. Their ancestors were the Sentinels of Atlantis. After the radiation started, they learned how to think in twenty-four hours. When Medusa led the people there, the kangaroos were discussing how to counterattack the moon. They were divided into two groups. One group was seizing the time to learn the Rising Dragon of Lushan that was left in their genes. The other group was preparing to sneak into America during the international exchange to occupy the Kennedy Space Center …"
Look at how chaotic it was.
