The three-headed Mercury Lamp was a group of strange little fellows. They had many unimaginable abilities and behavior patterns. They often appeared in groups near the Imperial Army's Military Academy. Sometimes, there would be these little fellows running around alone. They had many different outfits, ranging from household maids to jungle-type equipment. However, no matter what the three-headed Mercury Lamp looked like, there was one thing they had in common: they were always busy. Everyone in the City of Shadows knew about this group of strange little fellows, but not many people really understood them. Most people only knew that the three-headed Mercury Lamp was inextricably linked to the Imperial Army. Furthermore, they were puppets created based on little princesses of the Empire. Thus, the citizens of the City of Shadows basically believed that these little fellows were mechanical servants or playmates of the royal family. From a certain point of view, this was not wrong.
The three-headed puppets that were active in the school district usually had a variety of jobs, such as cleaning the school's flower beds and lawns, trimming the branches of the trees, clearing the roads, maintaining facilities, cleaning the windows, and even running out of the campus supermarket with a small mountain of shopping baskets on their heads to enter the Osaka's dormitory. It was said that there were also people who saw fully armed three-headed Mercury Lamp patrolling the school at night. These little puppets, which were more than half a meter tall, held mini lightsabers that looked like fruit knives and psionic beam rifles. Their bodies were covered with miniature space bombs, and they bounced around the school, specifically targeting the old Chinese doctors and those who made fake certificates while it was dark outside the school walls. Before the three-headed Mercury Lamp appeared, the school district's night patrol was usually the responsibility of the school's teachers (usually the Empire's commanders or Heroic Spirits) and the Student Council. Combining the above points, there were people in the City of Shadows who guessed that these cute three-headed dolls might be a new generation of multifunctional robots created by the Empire. Their job was to maintain the normal operation of the city within a certain range and gradually replace those stiff looking octopus autonomous robots. In the future, there would be a day when the City of Shadows would be filled with these three-headed dolls, filling all the public service positions in the city …
Other than that, there were many speculations about these little dolls, and there was no lack of urban legends. For example, one urban legend mentioned that all the three-headed dolls had a common leader, a giant robot that was over a hundred meters tall. This giant robot's goal was to rule the city, and the three-headed army that had invaded all the positions in the school district and replaced the original teaching staff were the giant robot's vanguard. Of course, there were people who suspected that they were special types of Empire soldiers, but this speculation was even more ridiculous. Basically, no one believed it. Sending these little fellows onto the battlefield to kill the enemy?
These were the impressions that the three-headed Mercury Lamp left on the citizens of the City of Shadows.
However, no matter what the speculations were, there was at least one point that everyone in the City of Shadows agreed on: The three-headed Mercury Lamp were extremely cunning, and their weird behavior and various kinds of rare tools were things that gave people a headache … especially the latter.
When the three-headed Mercury Lamp in front of us saw me and Sandora, not only did she not happily come over to get intimate with me like the other dolls, she let out a scream and turned around to escape. Before I could react, she took out a small hoverboard from her personal space. This was one of the rare tools of the three-headed army, called the Light Speed Hoverboard. It was developed by the Osaka and equipped for their own three-headed Mercury Lamp. It had an extremely high explosive speed and short distance warp ability. Furthermore, once a person stepped on it, they would be separated by the space anchor point, and thus wouldn't be affected by the acceleration and inertia. This allowed the three-headed Mercury Lamp to avoid falling off the high-speed hoverboard. Seeing that she had even taken out such an item, of course, I knew that she was going to escape. Thus, I immediately dashed forward and broke through the sound barrier in an instant, grabbing onto her belt before she could activate the hoverboard.
All Mercury Lamps, regardless of whether they were original or mass-produced, could be easily lifted up by grabbing onto their belts. Then, their small arms and legs would be useless. This was the experience that I had accumulated over a long period of time. Of course, the hundred-meter-tall Mercury Lamp didn't count. Her belt buckle was already taller than me.
"Let go! Let go! You're so annoying! " The 60cm tall Mercury Lantern Doll flailed her arms and legs in the air. Unfortunately, she was not even as long as my arm, so her resistance was futile. Moreover, since her big brother was holding onto her, it was clear that this little fellow couldn't continue using those dangerous tools. Thus, she could only try to act cute and protest.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I quickly reached out and snatched the large roll of printing paper from the three-headed doll's hands. Then, I placed the roll of printing paper on the ground.
"Return it to me! Return it to me! " The three-headed doll that only reached the height of a person's knee desperately jumped and tried to use her pitiful arms and legs to climb onto my body. However, I only needed one hand to firmly press down on this little one. That cute head was too easy to deal with. "Quickly return it to me! Big brother won't like this! The ordinary wild girl Mercury Lamp cried out with a guilty conscience. "
The ordinary … wild girl Mercury Lamp?!
Speaking of which, how many models did this group of strange dolls have? Could it be that they were like the relevant department heads and experts, where the first three paragraphs of the second line of their business cards were all titles?
No matter how much the three-headed doll protested — — Of course, more accurately speaking, no matter how much the Osaka sister who was in charge of controlling her — — I had already focused on the roll of paper that I snatched from her hands. Then, a large headline appeared in front of my eyes: "Wen Wen Daily — Temporary Supplement"
Immediately, I felt the same as Sandora and a chill ran down my spine. Alright, it seems like I know what this bad premonition is about, but what's with that Tengu's efficiency?
I opened the newspaper with a mournful mood. As expected, on the front page, there was a colorful photo that took up the entire page. It was a photo of me and Sandora, and the photo was surrounded by a rose frame.
The title of the photo was: "The Two Queens Kiss Like No One Was Around". Below the photo was a line of annotations: "The two Queens of the Empire have disappeared. Our reporter has received orders to not follow up on this incident."
Then, just like Wen Wen promised, there was no main article …
"It was a huge mistake not turning that Tengu into a spicy chicken wing."
I crumpled the damned newspaper into a ball. I felt that my complexion should be similar to Hitler's in 1945. Beside me, Shadora had also seen the color board picture in the newspaper, and her expression was rather subtle.
"Ah, the newspaper is gone. The ordinary wild girl Mercury Lamp is squatting on the ground, trying to attract big brother's attention by acting cute." The cute Mercury Lamp doll that was glued to my leg muttered as it squatted on the ground, and its head drooped down powerlessly.
I picked up the little guy and raised it in the air: "Tell me, what are you planning to do with this thing?"
"Stick it on the newspaper! The ordinary wild girl, Mercury Lantern, said confidently. "
The mini doll had her hands on her hips, and her expression was very serious.
If acting cute could make a living, I feel that at least half of Africa's population would not have to worry about food and clothing.
Although I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, I couldn't hit or scold these little guys. I could only flick her head a few times, and tell her to go back and tell the others not to join in the fun. Then, I let her go. The mini doll was obviously afraid of being punished. As soon as it landed, it let out a cheer and ran to the school's iron fence. It seemed like it wanted to take a shortcut to go home. Then, Sandora and I watched as the idiot got stuck in the gap of the fence: its head was too big.
"It's been so long, why do they still have this problem?" Sandora put her hand on her forehead and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Is this the Osaka's problem, or is it that Mercury Lamp is an idiot?"
I felt that it was the latter. Although the Mercury Lantern usually appeared to be quite impressive, she was often very careless. When she flew around the house, she would bump into herself every few days. In that case, it was quite normal for the three-headed Mercury Lantern, which had a certain connection to her, to have the same careless side.
However, that unlucky mini doll didn't get stuck for too long. Soon, a few identical three-headed Mercury Lamp ran out of the school and used a bamboo pole to poke the unlucky guy down.
Using a bamboo pole … to poke it down!
"Looks like they are very skilled," Sandora said leisurely.
I nodded solemnly, "I remember now. Previously, Osaka 12590 told me about this situation. There is a group of mass-produced Mercury Lamp that is specifically responsible for rescuing other mass-produced Mercury Lamps. This is because those little fellows have a habit of squeezing into narrow places. Even the controllers, Osaka, are unable to suppress this tendency. Back in the Great Nebula, many of the three-headed Mercury Lamps were stuck in the ventilation ducts of the battleships. So, in the end, they decided to form an emergency rescue team that is specifically responsible for poking their stuck sisters out …"
Just like that, the little trouble brought about by the three-headed Mercury Lamp was over. Now, the most important thing was to quickly catch that sly Tengu girl. Both Sandora and I didn't expect Wenwen to have such terrifying work efficiency and low limits. She actually used half the morning to add a photo of me and Sandora into today's supplement. She even added such a speechless title and annotation. At first, I thought that with just the title and annotation, even the gossipy Tengu wouldn't be able to do anything. Now, it turns out that I have completely overestimated that fellow's moral quotient. In the future, when you see a Tengu article, the first thing you should do is to snatch her camera and smash it to pieces. Then, maintain a safe distance of 500 meters and call the police. During this period, you absolutely cannot speak to her. Otherwise, every word you say, including the punctuation marks, will sooner or later become the fuse for you and your wife to fight for supremacy.
Shumeimaru travels around the world every day. Furthermore, it's extremely fast and doesn't have a fixed place to stay. Thus, it would be troublesome to find her. Furthermore, Sandora and I didn't want to mobilize the intelligence department and the Empire's army for this matter. After all, in Sandora's eyes, no matter how infuriating this matter was, it was just a mischievous little girl. Mobilizing the army to solve the problem was a little too much. Fortunately, even if we didn't mobilize the Empire's army, there was still a way to find Ewan Xiwen. It could even be said that speak of the devil and the devil will appear. Ling Meng swayed over from the opposite side of the street.
A black-haired girl with a lazy expression was swaying on the street. She was wearing her signature shaman outfit that exposed her armpits. Of course, she also wore the City of Shadows' City Manager's armband on her arm. The large bow on her arm swayed weakly as if she was about to fall asleep at any moment like her master. Furthermore, Ling Meng was a little different than usual today. The shaman outfit she was wearing was blue and white.
"Hey, Ling Meng!" I happily greeted her. "Did the 1P die again?"
I knew that Ling Meng was wearing a blue and white outfit. As long as the 1P died, the color of the 2P would change …
"1P your head," Ling Meng yawned and rolled her eyes at me. "I really couldn't find any clothes to change into, so I could only wear this out. Seriously, Yi Chuiguo's horns just grew and he said he wanted to go for a facial treatment. You tricked Elena into going home to be a refrigerator. Marisa is completely unreliable. I can't even find someone to do the laundry for me …"
I was instantly dumbfounded. This shaman who had no morals was a little out of her league when she started to be lazy? She didn't even wash her clothes normally?
"Of course it's not that I don't wash my clothes," Ling Meng waved her hand. "It's just that I've been really busy recently. The resident exchange between Avalon and Fantasy Village has begun. There are new people coming over from Fantasy Village and there are also some monsters who want to go home to take a look. It's a hassle to be busy registering names every day … Ahh, what a headache. It's fine as long as they don't get lost. They aren't children."
She simplified the work of the number one person in charge of Fantasy Village to just registering a few names. Furthermore, she was so lazy and unwilling to move. Did she really know what professional ethics was?
"What is professional ethics? Can it be used as food or money? "Ling Meng shook her head." Oh right, is there anything? If there isn't, I still have to continue patrolling. Let's quickly finish this street and go back for an afternoon nap. "
"Go and catch that Tengu." I thought of that unfortunate newspaper and couldn't help but grit my teeth in anger.
"Ah? You can't be talking about the Shooting Pill novel, right? "Ling Meng's sleepy eyes lit up." How did she offend you? "
It was great that she was so lazy that she didn't even read the newspaper.
"Oh, to put it simply, that fellow finally dared to make a move on the big boss, right?" After Ling Meng listened to my and Sandora's explanation, she immediately nodded in understanding. She giggled and raised two fingers at us. "That fellow really needs to be taught a lesson. But … this isn't within the scope of the Town Security's responsibility, right? There will be an additional fee! "
Actually, I was very curious as to why Ling Meng, who was a member of the Town Security and could spend as much as she wanted in the military zone, would need money. However, greed seemed to have become part of her DNA. Thus, I didn't beat around the bush and agreed on the spot. As long as she could catch that fellow before Wenwen distributed more newspapers and order him to correct his previous reports, her monthly salary and bonus would be increased by ten times.
I believed that it wouldn't be difficult. Ling Meng's title as the God of Town Security wasn't for nothing. Even a cruel person like Sicarro could be blocked by her several times. I didn't believe that a Tengu could defy the heavens. Also, since Wenwen's printing plant was in the school district, her first batch of newspapers would always be delivered to the school for Osaka to read for free. Thus, the newspaper in the hands of the three-headed baby might have been the first batch to be distributed. In addition, Guan Xiwen had developed a habit in Fantasy Village. She would always use her super speed to personally distribute newspapers. Thus, as long as Ling Meng acted in time, it would be easy for her to catch the Tengu and the newspaper.
Then, that fellow broke through the sky in a streak of yellow light …
Sandora and I felt that this matter should be over by now. Thus, we played outside for a while. When it was almost noon, we got up and went home. However, as it turned out, fate was really a f * cked up thing.
When the two of us returned home, we were directly teleported to the living room. Usually, at this time, everyone would be busy with their own matters in their own rooms or strolling outside. In the living room, only Anveena and Chestnut should be busy. However, today was a huge exception. Almost everyone in the living room was present, including Lin Xue who should have returned home and Anveena who should have gone to cook. The entire family was gathered in the middle of the living room, engrossed in research. Even the sudden appearance of Sandora and I didn't attract the attention of this group of people. I walked forward curiously to take a glance and instantly burst into tears.
… Motherf * cker, a whole table of 1.5 meter tall newspapers!!
Ling Meng sat on top of this pile of newspapers, proudly shaking her head. The bow on her head swayed along with her movements. She was currently telling everyone about the incident of the unfortunate Tengu Sehimaru being surrounded and intercepted by a dozen Town Security officers for subverting public opinion and disobeying the air traffic regulations. Since she was sitting high up, she was the first to notice me and Sandora. Immediately, she cheerfully greeted us. "Ah! Boss! Lady boss, you're here — — The suspect has been caught and all the stolen goods have been seized. Look! "
As Ling Meng said that, she pointed to the bottom of her buttocks. Not only was there a mountain of newspapers, there was also a black-haired girl with tears streaming down her face. It was Edison, who had been brutally punished by Ling Meng.
"Wuwu … My camera … My newspaper …"
Tears streamed down the Tengu girl's face.
After asking, I found out that the violent Ling Meng had not only seized all of Sehimaru's newspapers, she had also brutally destroyed his precious camera. That camera was actually a treasure as well. It was a high-tech product of the Kappa and had so many functions that it made one's hair stand on end. Not only could it take pictures, it could also shoot magic cannons, form a protective shield, make a phone call, bake pancakes, generate electricity, summon a divine dragon, transform into an ultraman, and even make Monkey Sun reveal his true form. Although there might be some strange things mixed in, it was still a cruel treasure. However, it had already been blasted into pieces by Ling Meng's righteous psionic bomb. The pieces were scattered on the ground and Little Bubble and Ji Shanshan were excitedly using them to make a jigsaw puzzle.
Faced with such a scene, Sehimaru would definitely be in tears. However … looking at the newspapers in the hands of my elder sisters, I felt that the one crying should be me!
