Weird Stories: Gothic Lolita Begins

Seeing that everyone was speechless for a moment, Coco kindly reminded: "Is there anything else you want to know? I was very exhausted from pulling all the people in this underground laboratory into a sleeping state... If nothing unexpected happens, I probably won't be able to wake up on my own."

The implication is, ask whatever you want to ask quickly, I can't hold on any longer.

Hearing this, Night Crow's thoughts immediately returned to normal.

"The last big question," she flew in front of the boy, looked him in the eyes, and asked seriously, "'The God's Hidden Mist', also known as the 'Great Fog God', is used to separate the stormy sea area inside and outside. What is the real danger?"

"..." As if thinking of some bad memories, the boy subconsciously frowned, then sighed and said, "There, everything becomes as fragile as ordinary things... ordinary objects, even the boat made of my father's branches is no exception..."

No wonder you are not weak, you are so embarrassed...

After the night crow suddenly realized, he hurriedly confirmed: "Can the extraordinary ability still be used?"

"Yes." Coco nodded affirmatively, "It will also become fragile, including various barriers."

"I see... I roughly understand, thank you for your answer." Night crow thanked sincerely.

"You're welcome, this is also for myself." Coco said, looking up at Lei, with a trace of kindness unconsciously revealed in his calm eyes.

"May we meet again."

The boy said this, closed his eyes, and when Lei was hesitant and stunned, he quickly turned into a knotted tree root, withered and decayed in the blink of an eye.

Staring blankly at the thick tree roots coiled on the outer wall of the glass column carrying the "matrix" drying, breaking, and peeling off in just a few breaths, Lei felt empty in his heart.

In the end, he did not formally ask to "send him home".

Before the broken wood chips fell, the night crow flew up in time, circled in the air for a few circles, and finally landed on Lei's shoulder.

"Go back." The night crow said to Lei who was stunned.

"But..." Lei hesitated.

"Leave it to Eve." The night crow said, "Even if it's just to maintain the status quo, your knowledge level is obviously not enough."

"..." Lei's cheek puffed up on one side, and after searching his mind for a long time, he couldn't find even a suitable word to refute.

"Leave it to me." Eve raised her hand and gently patted the red-haired young man's shoulder, "I will supervise them and take good care of...him."

Eve turned the title around her lips, but she couldn't say it in a hurry.

Sighing in her heart, Lei forced himself to accept the most suitable arrangement at the moment.

"Then I'll trouble you." He said with a guilty look.

Eve didn't say anything and patted his shoulder again.

...

Silently returned to Room 2209 of Anaki City Hotel in the city center, sent off the part-time driver, and Night Crow asked Lei: "What are your plans after that?"

Hearing this, Lei, who was in a daze, barely came back to his senses: "I want to go to Maple Island..."

"What about after that?" Night Crow asked, "Your adoptive father is still missing now, right?"

"..." Lei lowered his head.

After a long silence, the red-haired young man murmured, "In fact, I dreamed of my father's death the night he disappeared..."

"I have been trying to convince myself that it was just a nightmare, but..."

As he spoke, Lei buried his face in his hands on his knees.

"But, from childhood to adulthood, until that night, I have never had the experience of 'dreaming'..."

"..." Standing on the dining table, Night Crow looked at Lei between the sofas and sighed silently.

At this time, let him be quiet...

Thinking of this, Night Crow turned around and flew into the master bedroom that was not closed, lying on the soft air-conditioned quilt with his paws facing the sky, and continued to catch up on his sleep.

- Last night, Eve only stayed overnight and did not leave any luggage.
