Weird Stories: Gothic Lolita Begins

The gift Lenari gave was a small rectangular box, wrapped in dark blue gift paper dotted with tiny stars and tied with a golden red bow ribbon.

Lucia excitedly unwrapped the outer packaging, opened the exquisite wooden box inside, and looked inside.

On the dark red velvet cushion, a very familiar, ribbon-like transparent collar lay quietly.

After a moment of daze, Lucia looked up and looked at Lenari inquiringly.

"I made a new space storage prop." Lenari nodded and introduced it with a bit of complacency, "Isn't it popular to have a farming-style portable space now? This is it."

"The land area inside it is about the size of a hexagonal administrative district, the time flow rate can be adjusted by itself, and there is pure, equally adjustable sunlight and moonlight."

"The most important thing is that after it recognizes its owner, it can be stored in the sea of ​​consciousness, or attached to the fur or skin, to achieve an alternative pure natural hair dyeing and tattoo effect."

——Lenari still remembered that she didn't like wearing jewelry.

Realizing this fact, Lucia was moved in her heart, but she just smiled foolishly and said, "In fact, if you are used to wearing a collar, you won't feel any discomfort..."

"Anyway, let's try it on first?" Lenari reached out and picked up the silky and elastic small collar in the box, and asked with anticipation.

"...Okay!" Lucia paused and agreed happily.

…

On the outskirts of Luby City, a self-built three-story villa with a large area, high walls, and front and back gardens, the master bedroom on the second floor.

In the dark room covered tightly by heavy curtains and without lights, on the open space covered with thick carpets, a tall and well-proportioned young man suddenly appeared out of thin air.

The young man had a slightly messy reddish-brown short hair, sharp and handsome facial features, light brown eyes, and wore a dark-style trendy casual outfit. Except for a simple dark wristband on his left wrist, he did not wear any accessories.

In the darkness where it was almost pitch dark, the young man held the sleeping husky puppy in his arms, walked to the window with familiarity, pulled open the curtains, and opened the window.

After taking a few breaths of the cool fresh air in the forest, the young man touched the wristband on his left wrist with his right hand, and magically took out a common brand of smartphone out of thin air.

As soon as the phone screen lit up, a bunch of ferocious red 99+ logos suddenly arrogantly broke into the young man's eyes.

Exhaling silently, the young man unlocked the screen with one hand, patiently began to browse the unread messages and missed calls one by one.

——This time, he was indeed away for too long.

…

A private room in the Rose and Rose Cafe in the ancient city of Feffer.

Just after cutting a piece of cake for Lucia and about to hand it out, Lenari's action suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Lucia shook her tail and asked in confusion.

Lenari continued the unfinished action while explaining: "Just now, I sensed Wang Bao's breath."

"Wang Bao?" Lucia suddenly realized, "Finally back! I don't know what task that kid Lively took, but it took so long..."

"The time flow rate ratio of those task worlds in the 'Gods' Space' to the present world is not fixed, and occasionally there will be a 1:1 situation." Frederick, who was drinking tea on the side, explained.

Lenari nodded: "That's true... The time flow rate ratio of the tasks performed by Night Raven is the classic 100 to 1. I almost forgot that the time flow rate ratio inside and outside the 'Gods Space' is not fixed."

"For personal space, it is indeed a constant 100 to 1." Frederick said.

"It sounds really interesting... I have finally reached the super level. Can I participate?" Lucia asked her teacher with sparkling eyes.

This time, Frederick did not object again, but just said: "It's best to go with Night Raven."

"I will." Lucia nodded, suddenly turned around, and asked Lenari curiously, "Speaking of which, what is Night Raven doing now? Is he still in the 'God Hidden Mist'?"

"Still." Lenari nodded and said, "The 'God Hidden Mist' is quite honest now. Do you want to go in and play? The scenery of Maple Island is quite special and worth seeing."

"Only the scenery?" Lucia asked doubtfully.

"Emm... For some reason, the survivors of the country have been living an 'ancient' life where men farm and women weave, working from sunrise to sunset, and Maple Island is remote... There's actually nothing to see." Lenari said truthfully.

"This..." Lucia tilted her head, moved her ears, thought for a while, and decided to give up, "Forget it, that's the work of the scientific expedition team, I'm just a tourist, just seeing the novelty is enough!"Lenari thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go tomorrow and take Wang Bao with us?"

"Okay! Teacher, come along too? It's 100 to 1 anyway, so we don't need to spend much time in the real world." Lucia invited happily.

Frederick hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
