"I'll clean it up later."
Glancing at the rose-red petals on the ground, Zhou Li said to Raya indifferently.
"'well?"
Raya made a (′ο｀*) expression, pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice: "Such a beautiful petal, shouldn't you thank me?"
"Do you know that cleaning the room is tiring?"
A look of disgust appeared on Zhou Li's face, he put his hand aside and said, "The broom is on the right hand side of the kitchen door. Go and sweep it yourself."
"Okay~"
Raya sighed, floated to the kitchen obediently, floated back to the living room with a broom, and began to sweep up the petals scattered on the floor. Eluma tried a color on Zhou Li and was a little confused about Raya's obedience. Zhou Li shrugged without leaving any trace, indicating that he was also testing and didn't know the details.
After clumsily sweeping the petals into a pile, Raya looked at Zhou Li in confusion, and found that she seemed to have no way to shovel them up.
Zhou Li looked at Raya who was clumsy and kept looking at him. He clicked his tongue and stretched out his hand. The black mist came out of his sleeve, and he quickly rolled the petals into a ball and threw it into the trash can. Raya, who watched the entire process blankly, looked at the clean ground, then at Zhou Li, and opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
"Okay, now let's talk about something else."
If Eluma is purely kind, then this woman named Raya is purely stupid. After hearing Zhou Li's crude topic-changing technique, Raya immediately put aside her doubts about "Why didn't he just send all the petals away?" and couldn't wait to ask: "By the way, are you here now?" In a shelter?”
"Um?"
Eyes slightly narrowed, Zhou Li knew that the critical moment had come. He looked at Raya, pretending to be angry and said to her: "What are you talking about?"
"Hey hey hey!"
As if she was frightened by Zhou Li's reaction, Raya jumped on the spot, and then said in a panic: "Why are you in a hurry?"
If it weren't for the fact that Raya was indeed flustered rather than angry, Zhou Li swore that he would kiss her ass hard with his boot.
"What shelter? How could humans possibly need shelter?"
Faced with Zhou Li's doubts, Raya crossed her arms, frowned, made a puzzled gesture in mid-air, and then asked Zhou Li: "How can humans not need a shelter?"
"Aren't you going to be used as fuel to light up soon?"
"What's the meaning?"
Zhou Li's astonished expression didn't seem to be fake. Raya was also a little confused, but what she was confused about was that Zhou Li had such a big reaction to this incident. She floated to Zhou Li's side and asked in confusion: "When you came out of the book, didn't anyone explain it to you?"
"No."
Zhou Li shook his head and said sincerely: "Can you please elaborate?"
"Ouch!"
Raya tilted her head, then she suppressed her smile after being honored by the title, raised her head proudly, and said to Zhou Li, "Of course."
After clearing her mind, Raya poked her cheek with her hand, as if this could help her focus. After a moment, she slowly said: "You humans, as monstrosities, are going to be ignited and become the nourishment of the world. Mr. Thomas couldn't bear to see you being ignited, so he specially created Xiaofu to summon you from the book and let you enter A refuge from the fate of being set ablaze."
"Do you really not know this?"
After hearing Raya ask again, Zhou Li, who was overwhelmed by the massive information contained in the short words, did not answer. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking about.
After a long time, Zhou Li asked in a hoarse voice: "Laya, do you think humans are weird?"
"yes."
Raya was sitting on the sofa, although her body did not touch the sofa at all, "Two hundred years ago, our Mr. Thomas wrote the story of "The First Day" and compiled the weirdness of human beings, which is you. "
At this point, Raya seemed to have thought of something, and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, you humans are really amazing. There are so many people with the same physique. If it weren't for Xiaofu, he could make you If you have more characteristics, I can't tell you apart."
"You go back first."
Suddenly, Zhou Li said, "I have something to do, please go back first."
"Oh~Okay~~~"
With her mouth pursed, as if she was not satisfied, Raya sighed and then disappeared from the air, turning into the piece of paper with Lady Rose written on it.
Raya disappeared, leaving only Zhou Li and Eluma looking at each other.
"Is what she said true?"
After a long time, Eluma broke the silence and asked the question first.
"I don't know."
Zhou Li shook his head and indicated that he didn't know. After all, what Raya said was so subversive that no one would believe it if it spread.
"Then...what should we do?"
Eluma looked at Zhou Li, and then at the three remaining pieces of paper on the table. Zhou Li understood what she meant. He thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Let's not continue."
"Mrs. Meia left a reminder for me before she died. She is the dark side of Mrs. Rose. The darker and cunning she is, the more innocent Mrs. Rose is. It is because of this that I dare to release Mrs. Rose."
After a pause, Zhou Li continued: "If what Madam Rose said just now is true, then these weirdos are likely to be extremely aggressive to humans. I can't guarantee that other weirdos are as friendly as Madam Rose."
Hearing this, Eluma nodded, agreeing with Zhou Li's idea. According to Mrs. Rose, it seems that humans are the original grotesques, but now it is obvious that the grotesques are sealed in the book, and humans are the masters of the real world. If this were true, other grotesques' hatred of humans would be justified.
"Get rid of the bad omen of the death epidemic first."
Zhou Li leaned back on the sofa, rubbing his eyebrows, and his brain kept working, "No matter what, the bad omen of the death epidemic is our biggest enemy now."
"That's true."
Eluma nodded and buried the matter deep in her heart. She stood up and prepared to put the broom back where it belonged. Walking into the kitchen, Eluma suddenly turned her head as if something had happened.
The petals in the trash can were separated into pieces, and then from an angle that only Eluma could see, the petals gradually formed a set of characters.
"Run, he's not human, he's not monstrous!"
The air in the kitchen was a bit cold, and the haze in the sky made the whole room feel gloomy. Under the dim light, Eluma's shadow was lengthened, and in the living room not far away was Zhou Li, who was meditating.
Looking at the petals, Eluma was thoughtful.
"Zhou Li Zhou Li!!!"
She put down the broom and shouted loudly: "The petals are moving, it says you are not human!"
