Weird Stories: Gothic Lolita Begins

The strange woman who emerged from the ripples was wearing a fairy-like Xia costume with a white background dotted with light blue, and it was difficult to tell the specific shape. Her long silver-white hair, like moonlight, was simply half-tied up with a warm white jade hairpin behind her head, and the ends of her hair showed a very light, gradient light blue.

It was clearly dusk, but there was a quiet moonlight coming from nowhere that permeated this place, accompanied by the faint sound of waves and tides and the fresh and cool water vapor that came to her face, making Longyue feel as if she was in the sea under the moonlight in her hometown.

The distraction lasted only a moment.

As Longyue secretly raised her vigilance, the moonlight and the sound of the tides retreated neatly without leaving any trace.

Looking at the pair of familiar white coral-like forked horns on the woman's head, and then looking at the long winding tail behind her that looked like a snake or a fish, with fine white scales and feathery fins, Longyue's face unconsciously became weird.

The ripples like water waves disappeared at some point, and the woman in white floating in the air slowly opened her pale blue eyes that were almost white, and her lips and eyebrows were raised, blooming a happy and bright smile:

"Hey~ Good afternoon! Were you fired by your people?"

...

A little earlier, inside the "God Hidden Mist", a natural cave somewhere on the seabed.

The spherical egg-shaped object that was once nearly three meters in diameter is now less than two meters. The originally dark green translucent membrane-like egg shell has also become like a light blue opal of excellent quality, with a bright and delicate luster.

Suddenly, in the seabed cave covered with a layer of strange darkness, as if superimposed with another world, subtle "crackling" sounds continued to sound.

Karina, who had been waiting by the side, was shocked. She immediately threw away the half-read fashion magazine in her hand, picked up the notebook at hand, and jumped to the front of the giant egg-shaped object while opening the supernatural power "Rune Perspective".

——After years of careful nurturing, this special egg is finally about to hatch.

Fine cracks continue to spread on the smooth eggshell.

Soon, the first eggshell slowly peeled off in the specially treated seawater filled with pure energy, followed by the second and third pieces...

...

The night crow stretched out her baby-like curled posture, stood up in the sticky egg liquid, and stretched her body.

The next moment, she shrank back into the eggshell at the speed of light.

Outside the huge eggshell that was only half broken, Karina, with bright eyes, was stunned for a moment because of Night Crow's sudden action, and then asked with doubt, concern, and a little nervousness: "Is there any problem?"

After a moment of silence, Night Crow waved his hand and stood up again: "Nothing..."

"Oh, that's good." Karina breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked again and again with a little enthusiasm, "How do you feel? Is the divine power damaged? Is there any change? Can you breathe underwater? Can you-"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Night Crow hurriedly interrupted Karina's enthusiasm for work, and then said a little embarrassedly, "Um, can you give me a set of clothes first..."

"Oh!" Karina suddenly realized, and quickly put down the notebook in her hand, and took a beautifully crafted and large paper box from the shelf not far away, "This is my granddaughter's work, you try it."

Night Crow took a step forward and stepped into the dry shadow space from the cave filled with sea water, without bringing in even a drop of sea water.

As she reached out to take the paper box handed over by Karina, she casually asked, "Your granddaughter?"

"Well, she is a fashion designer. In recent years, she has been obsessed with the Xia culture flowing out of the "Black and Red Theater" and has designed many Xia-style costumes." Karina said while rolling up the sleeves of her white coat, "Let me help you. This dress is not very easy to wear."

"Oh!" Night Crow opened the rather heavy paper box in his hand expectantly, and found that there was not only a set of light-colored clothes with a very complicated structure, but also matching jewelry and long boots.

Lenari had dealt with the phantoms of Xia people in the "Black and Red Theater" many times before, and the structure of Xia traditional costumes... I really hadn't studied it.

Naturally, Night Crow could only cooperate with Karina's command obediently.

After finally putting on the layered, light long skirt, Night Crow floated in a sitting position so that Karina could help comb her hair more easily. She asked curiously, "Are traditional Xia-style costumes popular in recent years? Why haven't I seen them?"

"Not popular..." Karina combed Night Crow's hair a little awkwardly and answered casually, "Traditional Xia-style costumes are not suitable for modern people who are used to simplicity. Moreover, there are not many people whose appearance and temperament match Xia-style costumes."

"Yes, classical dresses from hundreds of years ago are rarely seen now." Night CrowLuckily, he resisted the urge to nod, "By the way, is this suit tailor-made?"

"Yes." Karina nodded, "Your body shape stabilized a year ago... 'A few months' ago, when I was chatting with my granddaughter regularly, I mentioned your story by chance, and she insisted on making a suit of Xiaguo-style clothes for you... Uh, you don't mind if I reveal your story, do you?"

"Of course not." Night Crow said, and found that Karina stopped moving and took a small step back, and suddenly said, "Okay?"

"Okay." Karina said, taking the shoes and socks beside and handing them to Night Crow, "The structure of the shoes and socks is nothing special."

"Emmmm..." Night Crow muttered to himself while putting on the shoes and socks, "I always feel that this set of Xiaguo clothing is weird..."

"After all, it is designed by foreigners who don't know much about Xiaguo culture according to their own understanding and imagination. It is normal that the details are not "conforming to tradition." Karina said pertinently.

"......That's right." Night Crow put on his shoes and tried to walk on the ground for a few steps before floating off the ground. "Sure enough, this long skirt is more suitable for floating..."

"So this high-imitation version of Xiaguo's traditional clothing failed to become popular." Karina shrugged and picked up the record book from the test bench next to her. Her dark eyes sparkled. "Let's not talk about this. Let's measure the basic physical data?"

"......Okay." Night Crow nodded reluctantly.

...

"Height 170cm, horn length 17cm, tail length 187cm, bust..."

"Hey! This is not necessary, right?" Night Crow interrupted hurriedly.

"Oh, okay, there is no change in appearance, let's take a look at something else." Karina said while fiddling with the measuring props, "Come on, stand on this."

Night Crow did it obediently.

"Weight... 1700kg?!" Karina widened her eyes, "The scale is broken?!"
