Lose held Xiaoqing in his hands and watched her waving her limbs with an expressionless expression.
Seeing Xu Shuo in front of him but unable to touch him.
The anxious Xiao Qing was so angry that he was about to mutate, but the surging darkness was instantly suppressed by a golden-red power.
Suddenly, Xiao Qing, who was still grinning with a ferocious expression, immediately calmed down. She put away her fangs and looked at the person who caught her with special fear.
Then Xiao Qing looked at Xu Shuo aggrievedly.
The little loli's round face bulged, and her big, watery eyes looked pitiful.
"Uncle Dai~~"
She waved her hands towards Xu Shuo.
Xu Shuo just glanced at it and didn't respond. Instead, he asked Xiang Los directly: "Are all the evil spirits of the abyss like this?"
"no."
Los still mentioned Xiao Qing and said: "The evil spirits of the abyss are just like human children, who gradually gain understanding of the environment and themselves during evolution, but no matter what, they will not show emotions."
"So what do you think she is in now and how did she become like this?" Xu Shuo asked again.
"It's a little bit special. After all, in the original world it was a god who protected one party, but later it was contaminated by the abyss because "the person being protected no longer needed it and deteriorated it." "
"The gods can also be polluted..."
"sure."
Los, who said this, looked at him with a somewhat unclear expression: "Everything in this world can be contaminated by the abyss."
Xu Shuo tilted his head: "So you haven't said yet, how did she become like this?"
However, after these words fell.
Ross did not respond so quickly.
Xu Shuo paused and looked at him, only to see the man's eyes drifting, as if he was thinking about how to make it up.
"Is it because of me?" Xu Shuo suddenly said.
"Yes...and no..."
Ross lowered his head and pushed up his glasses, but then realized that he was not wearing glasses now, so he put down his hands and looked around at a loss.
Finally, he faced Xu Shuo's glaring eyes.
He said helplessly: "It is special because it was once the body of a god, and after coming into contact with you, it may have undergone some kind of change, so its cognition is more comprehensive than that of the evil evil of the abyss."
Xu Shuo said "Oh".
Because Ross had already shown that he couldn't say any more.
So he didn't continue to ask any more questions.
At this time.
Xiaoqing, who had been held by Luo Si's hand, timidly said: "Uncle Dai, I really won't do bad things. Don't abandon me..."
Xu Shuo lowered his head and looked at Xiaoqing.
The little Loli's round face was full of grievances, and she pursed her lips slightly to look pitiful, but there was still a little uneasiness in her not-so-bright eyes, as if she was cautiously expecting.
Look at Xiaoqing like this. Xu Shuo suddenly remembered Xu Xi when he was a child.
When she was a child, if she accidentally did something wrong, Xu Xi would try hard to look aggrieved and timid.
She didn't mean to feel wronged.
Being timid and worried that I will not be forgiven.
It is indeed a bit over the top for a child who has been paralyzed since childhood to try so hard to express his feelings.
Xu Shuo reached out and touched Xiaoqing's little head.
Then he turned his hand and pinched her cheek.
Seeing this, Lose simply let go of his hand. Xiaoqing, who was free, immediately rushed over excitedly, holding Xu Shuo's clothes tightly with both hands.
Then she turned to look at Los with a proud expression.
Ross stared at her expressionlessly.
After watching for a while, Xiao Qing shrank back into Xu Shuo's arms in fear. Then she remembered something and began to claim credit for how many monsters she had killed last night.
After waiting to attract Xu Shuo's attention.
Xiao Qing whispered: "Uncle Dai, you see, I am really useful..."
Xu Shuo touched her hair: "Xiao Qing is indeed different from those terrible monsters. Do you know what will happen to the world if you come out?"
Xiaoqing was stunned when he heard this.
The doubt in his eyes was true this time.
"What's going on?"
"Someone came over last night to bring you food, but why do you want people to come into this place?"
"I...I just preferred to eat the thing he sent me later, and I just wanted him to send me more delicious food. I didn't want to do anything to him..."
】
Xiaoqing pinched her fingers nervously: "I just want to ask him."
Xu Shuo pinched her cheek: "But if you ask him questions, it is likely to cause him irreparable harm. Then even if you don't want to do bad things, you will have already done bad things because of this behavior."
"I……"
Hear the words "do bad things."
Xiaoqing was anxious and subconsciously wanted to explain something, but she suddenly realized that she didn't seem to understand the meaning.
Is just asking a question a bad thing?
Why is this happening?
Or……
Suddenly, Xiaoqing looked down at herself.
She seemed to be thinking about something different.
Noticing the abnormal emotions floating in Xiao Qing's body, Ross's eyes flashed slightly as he stood aside. He remained silent while the two communicated, and just stared at them with some kind of inquiring eyes.
After a while.
Xiao Qing looked at Xu Shuo blankly and said, "Is it because Xiao Qing is not from this world, so he can't contact them?"
She finally came up with this result.
Xiaoqing's understanding of the environment and herself allowed Xiaoqing to know that she was different from ordinary people, but she was unable to effectively distinguish what the difference was.
But now I can realize this problem.
It means that she can control herself very well.
Xu Shuo couldn't help but rub the little girl's soft and fleshy cheeks, then stood up and looked at Lose.
Ross pushed the bridge of his nose and said, "Actually, if you keep this little monster, it will be somewhat useful in resisting the speed at which the world is swallowed by the abyss."
"Xiao Qing is not a monster!"
"Use?" Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The pollution of the abyss last night was a retaliatory riot caused by Themis clearing all the abyss before leaving, causing the abyss to lose its presence to touch you."
Ross continued: "But if this little monster stays here and maintains contact, it will give the abyss the illusion that it is eroding you all the time, and it will naturally slow down the speed of devouring the world, and in a normal way The speed slowly breaks through the barrier of the world wall."
"Xiao Qing is not a monster!"
Xu Shuo thought thoughtfully and said, "I probably understand what you mean, but this kind of behavior is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst."
Ross' face was expressionless: "The world is being devoured anyway, so there's no difference in what we can do."
and……
For the rest of the sentence, Ross muttered in his mind: You clearly want to use this little monster to fight against the abyss, let the enemy deal with you by yourself, and let others help you complete the task.
This is simply Xu Shuo's favorite way!
…
Xu Shuo called Lose over to ask.
In fact, it is to find out whether Xiaoqing's situation is suitable for being released in this world.
What? Not suitable?
Then ask if there is anything that needs special attention.
But now things appear to be going smoothly.
Although if Xiaoqing eats too much from the abyss, it is likely that there will be unpredictable evolutionary mutations - maybe it will expand into an abyss troll.
But this kind of thing...
Let's wait until the world survives before worrying.
Xu Shuo planned to leave after the matter was resolved.
etc.
There seems to be an abyss crack in the alley.
"She shouldn't need to rely on the darkness of the abyss to stay here, right?" Xu Shuo suddenly asked Los.
"The characteristics of the god give it a "positive" side, which is the image of a little girl with a green face and fangs that exists during the day. So in addition to swallowing the darkness of the abyss, it can also feed on the dark side of living things, but if it absorbs too much, it will turn into a monster. "Los said.
"Ouch! Xiaoqing is not a monster!"
Xu Shuo nodded: "In that case, why don't you help me fill in the crack by the way? This is the task I will give to Captain Zheng tonight. Well, I can share the remuneration from the Security Bureau with you. half."
Ross: "..."
…
finally.
Ross still completely filled in the abyss crack that was taped.
The Security Bureau's remuneration to non-staff cadres was very generous. Xu Shuo looked at his savings and thought about the current situation in the world. He felt that giving Lose half of it was nothing.
So after returning to the residence.
Los received a collection text message from the bank.
Ross: "..."
With that guy's money-keeping temperament.
It’s really not easy to take the initiative to give money.
But what does he want the money of this world for?
Ross sighed, put away his cell phone and walked into the house. He saw the light of a cell phone screen flickering on the sofa in the living room where the lights were not turned on.
"Are you still playing with your phone on the sofa so late at night?" Lose raised his eyebrows.
"I'm waiting for you to come back and tell me something."
Love looked up with an innocent face and said: "Others have also discovered our movements, and there is a high probability that they have located the world we are in. Brother, do you want to go back and comfort them?"
Ross was expressionless: "If you and Angela hadn't come here, they wouldn't be able to locate it."
Love admitted her mistake skillfully and obediently: "I'm sorry."
After admitting your mistake.
She continued: "In addition, due to the frequent turmoil in the abyss during this period, most worlds and subspaces have been swallowed up. The first house convened the other five houses to discuss countermeasures. You have to go there on behalf of our sixth house."
Listen to this series of things.
Ross rubbed his forehead feeling a little irritated.
"I see."
"besides……"
Ross immediately glared at his sister: "When did you learn to talk and breathe heavily?"
Love blinked: "I'm sorry. And sister Angela came back just now and took away your bank card again, and also moved the computer away."
Ross: "..."
Money in this world seems to be suddenly useful.
…
…
Another late night.
After solving the abyss pollution in Peach Blossom Street, Xu Shuo did not take Xiao Qing with him, but allowed him to roam outside the world wall barrier.
If you encounter a crack, Xiaoqing can enter this world.
If there is no encounter, then she is free to move.
Referred to as stocking.
At first, Xiaoqing was very afraid of the abyss trolls outside.
Crying and making trouble, he clung to Xu Shuo and refused to go out.
Then Los couldn't bear it anymore and pointed out an escape route for her between the barriers of the world wall - if she encountered an abyss monster that couldn't be swallowed, she should run directly to the "defense line".
Although it is definitely uncomfortable to stay near the "defense line".
But most abyss monsters will instinctively avoid that uncomfortable place, including the abyss trolls, so isn't this the evil's natural protection?
Although let a monster seek the protection of light.
It feels weird.
But this is also the best way.
Xiaoqing: I feel wronged...
Xu Shuo touched her head: "Stay there obediently. Anyway, you can come in and see me whenever you have the chance. It's just because Xiaoqing's presence here will affect the world, that's why I have to let you leave."
Xiaoqing, who was comforted, nodded firmly.
"I will wait to meet Uncle Dai next time!"
Xu Shuo just smiled.
Just wait until next time.
If Xiaoqing can still maintain his own thinking.
That's probably it.
…
So tonight.
Xu Shuo slept in the studio until morning again.
Li Ziwen, who came to open the door, saw him. Although he was a little strange, he didn't ask any more questions. He just put his work schedule in front of him.
"In response to your idea yesterday, the Lost City store is temporarily closed, and then the work before the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day has been piled up for the past two or three days."
"Um."
Xu Shuo nodded.
Yesterday morning I had a chat with Li Ziwen about life.
Because Ji Xiaoxia's identity was exposed, she was temporarily unable to go to work during this period.
The society has been in some turmoil recently due to the official silence, so Xu Shuo simply shut down the operation of offline stores for a period of time and directly shifted the focus of his work to online.
That store anyway.
His original intention when he started it was to leave it to Xu Xi to take over after he graduated, and then he could just start it again in the future.
——Reasonably reduce your work schedule.
"correct."
Xu Shuo suddenly stopped Li Ziwen who was about to leave.
Li Ziwen turned around in confusion.
Then he saw Xu Shuo take out a gift box from under the desk, put it on the desk and push it towards him.
"Mid-Autumn Festival gift."
"Shouldn't the whole company issue it together?"
"You can order the rest according to this standard."
"..."
Li Ziwen speechlessly picked up the gift bag with Mid-Autumn Festival patterns and left.
After returning to his office.
He paused, opened the bag and looked for it, and then pulled out something that did not belong to the moon cake.
A pendant made of unknown metal.
Look at this thing.
Li Ziwen put his thoughtful eyes on the computer screen in front of him.
On the screen is the latest network news.
Public opinion has intensified. Countless doomsday theories have been discussed on the Internet, and people have even begun to build the possibility of humans escaping from the earth.
But even at this point, the official has not issued a statement to explain, but only provided some dispensable comfort and guidance.
This trend...
In fact, a lot of things have been explained.
…
