Compared to other bustling and bustling shops in the town, that clothing store seemed to be forgotten in a bustling corner, looking particularly deserted and lonely.
It can be said that it is deserted and empty.
The hustle and bustle on both sides of the street is in sharp contrast to it, like a faint touch of ink in a lively picture.
However, it is precisely because the contrast is so obvious that Xia Zhi can see it at a glance. Otherwise, it would be somewhat difficult to directly find the designated goblin in the busy streets that look like a festival.
Xia Zhi thought about it for a moment and thought it was because the clothing store was easy to understand and the goblins all knew what it did, so they had no interest in it and naturally lost their sense of freshness and desire to explore familiar things.
Goblins are like a group of naughty children who are keen on playing house. They are full of curiosity and enthusiasm for things that are full of mystery and elusiveness.
After all, as the saying goes, they are just a group of pure naughty children, but they are playing "playing house" together——
Many behaviors have no practical meaning. They are more like imitation and ridicule of the appearance of human civilization. They take pleasure in pursuing excitement and novelty. The more impenetrable things are, the more they can arouse their interest and attract their attention. Followed and watched.
Although this kind of behavior is slightly childish, it also reveals the simple and pure terrifying psychology, and can get a glimpse of the essence.
Xia Zhi and Vivian came to the clothing store and stood there. They looked at the store, which was so deserted that you could swat flies. It was so empty that you could almost hear the passage of time.
There was a goblin who looked like a little girl sitting behind the counter. It seemed that she didn't even think there would be any customers coming, and she was lying on the counter sleeping soundly.
My nose almost blew bubbles, this scene seemed a little familiar.
Xia Zhi thought about it and found that Index seemed to have completely let down her guard. After losing her vigilance, her sleeping posture during this period was slightly similar to that of the goblin. This was probably the source of the sense of déjà vu.
Vivian was completely focused on the furnishings and products in the store. Her eyes wandered over the clothes with different styles and strange designs, showing a slightly doubtful emotion. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly:
"These clothes just look...weird."
It was obvious that the girl was expressing some kind of opinion tactfully.
The "chaos" and "mixture" they had felt in various parts of the city were vividly displayed in the form of clothing art in this clothing store, and they were embodied in a very impactful way. A sense of existence that cannot be ignored.
It can be said that every piece of clothing is like a rhapsody composed with colors and lines. Its obviousness and strong visual impact are simply jaw-dropping and not ordinary eye-catching.
Use bold colors.
Avant-garde style.
Innovative design.
Of course, this is what I picked up, just listen to it...
As for the specific situation, it can only be said that it is more or less difficult to describe.
"I guess these are also works of art born from random mixtures..." Xia Zhi looked away and smiled teasingly. He didn't want to comment on the goblins' unconventional and unique aesthetics at all.
Anyway, the issue of style is not a problem at all. As long as the technical sophistication reaches a certain level and the professionalism is excellent, then that is the person you need... Ahem, you genius!
After giving Vivian a look, Xia Zhi gently stretched out her hand and knocked on the counter.
"boss."
"..."
"..."
no respond.
The goblin who looks like a little girl is still sleeping soundly. If it were in the animation, a string of dreamy bubbles would still appear on the tip of her small nose, rising and falling with the even and rhythmic snoring.
"No wonder it's so deserted. I can't catch any guests if they come..."
Xia Zhi complained, and then stretched out his hand, but as if he thought of something temporarily, his movements obviously paused, as if he was carefully feeling and calculating something, and slightly adjusted his strength.
He knocked on the counter again with a slightly larger force than before, but with just the right amount of force.
"Boss! Are you still in business?"
"Uh...w-what?!"
The snoring disappeared, and the little girl-like goblin was finally awakened. She raised her head in a daze, looked around again and again, her eyes quickly regained consciousness, shining with surprise and confusion.
Immediately afterwards, she seemed to react, her expression changed very obviously in an instant, and she suddenly became gloomy. For example, those who have trouble waking up feel bad and angry when someone wakes them up.
Her red eyes widened, as if she could release black magic at any time.
next moment--
"What are you doing! You want to die, right? You don't need to bother me! Get out of here, get out of here! Or I'll break your legs!"
The winged fairy who looked like a little girl shouted loudly, her voice was childish but very irritable, and she slapped the counter in front of her hard, while making a fierce look with her teeth bared.
It was obvious that she was very angry, but the counter that received the slap was very strong and did not break on the spot... although it seemed that a faint groan could be heard coming from the wood.
This attitude is a bit too bad...
No wonder there are no guests...
Vivian's eyes suddenly turned cold. She already had some general hostility towards the fairies of the Wing Clan. It might be said that she was preconceived, but in short, she had a natural reputation as a cold camp——
Even this "coldness" is still disguised. If it weren't for controlling emotions, it would probably be a hostile and dangerous camp that is as red as blood.
But before she had time to take action, she felt her sleeves being gently pulled. Her eyes moved slightly and met the young man's "let me handle it" eyes.
"..."
"..."
The girl didn't say anything, but her slightly cold eyes still enveloped the little girl-like winged fairy.
"Well, boss, please calm down first."
Xia Zhi turned around and showed a very natural and harmless smile.
Goblins have long lifespans, but their mental age is often directly related to their appearance. In other words, this little girl is probably not really just a little girl, so she should be at the elementary school level like Index.
"We are here to buy clothes, not to cause trouble..."
He quickly calmed the excitement of the little girl-like Winged Fairy, and while speaking, he carefully observed the micro-expressions and changes in the eyes of the other person's face with his keen eyesight.
The prerequisite for speaking human words to others and lying to ghosts is——
The skill level of observing words and emotions must not be low.
Only in this way can we quickly determine whether our words are effective and have a positive or negative effect from the changes in the other party's facial expressions and body language... and then quickly decide our next strategy based on the other party's reaction.
But speaking of it——
Why is his opponent always a little girl like this?
Realizing that she was always bullying innocent Lolita who didn't know much about the world, Xia Zhi couldn't help but feel a little bit ashamed...well, a little bit.
"Buy, buy clothes?"
The Winged Fairy behind the counter was slightly startled, her red eyes widened, unable to conceal her astonishment.
Probably the scene in front of her made her feel dazed for a moment, and she repeated this sentence in disbelief: "Buying clothes? Are you here to buy clothes?"
Why are you here to buy clothes?
Aren’t you here to laugh at yourself and suppress yourself?
Yes, that’s definitely the case! They must be deliberately pretending to be customers, but secretly they are looking for trouble and trying to bully themselves! I don't fit in with others, they must want to kick me out!
After thinking about it, she quickly felt that she had found the truth. When she related what happened during this period, she suddenly became angry again and clenched her fists subconsciously.
And at this moment——
"Yes, who made these clothes? We just took a look at them and immediately fell in love with them. They are really unique..."
Such a sentence was spoken just right. The words were full of admiration for a certain unique craftsmanship. The surprise and emotion in the words were intertwined, causing the Winged Fairy's movements, which were originally burning with anger and about to lose control, to stop instantly.
Xia Zhi deliberately used such a neutral statement so that he could change his ambiguous words and attitude later. At the same time, he also paid attention to the expression on the face of the little girl opposite, and was ready to go along with it and let nature take its course.
Sure enough, he found that the little girl's expression changed significantly.
She even put her hands on her hands and stood up on the counter.
"How is it? What are the characteristics?" The anxiety and tension in the Winged Fairy's tone are extremely obvious, like a child who is looking forward to the results after taking the exam. He is eager to be praised, but also afraid of bad results. .
"..."
"..."
"Of course - it's so wonderful!!"
“I have never seen such great costume design!!”
The young man immediately understood. He decisively and skillfully switched to praise mode and started cheering.
With a deep look on his face, he pointed at the clothes hanging in the store. He looked particularly sincere, as if every word came from his heart.
"Look! Look! Such bold use of all kinds of bright and eye-catching colors, wanton and unbridled yet harmonious..."
"The style is even more unique, avant-garde but not cliché. This unique design concept and aesthetic pursuit..."
"The novel design elements, from the unique innovation of tailoring structure to the exotic fusion of patterns and textures, all reveal the designer's whimsical ideas. They are simply passionate and creative, igniting a fire in my heart..."
This barrage of compliments came out of his mouth and immediately stunned the two people present.
little girl:"……"
Vivian: "..."
Why did this person suddenly become so professional and sincere like an audience judge in a food animation? His comments on the works were rigorous and affectionate, and his words of praise were rich and vivid...
Although this kind of praise is like a line in a script, it has no sense of pretentiousness and is instead filled with sincerity and sincerity.
Of course, to reach this point, there is no doubt that it is extremely purposeful and pertinent, like a carefully choreographed gorgeous line show, every word of praise falls appropriately on the heart of the person being evaluated.
Although Vivian showed a helpless expression that she couldn't bear it, the little girl-like winged fairy particularly liked this trick.
She looked stunned at first, and then her eyes slowly widened, and her pupils seemed to glow with light.
——Do the clothes you make yourself have so many advantages...
——When he said that, he seemed to be very distinguished...
——But obviously everyone always belittles and suppresses their own works...
Memories of the past flooded into her mind - the doubts, cynicism, belittling and suppression from all directions made her once shaken about the meaning and purpose of her existence.
wrong! wrong! This must be the case! It’s all those guys who don’t know how to appreciate it! I do hold such a design concept and such an aesthetic pursuit, but those guys - they all do it! They don’t even know how to appreciate it!
Only this person in front of me... is the soulmate I finally met! !
An unprecedented feeling of emotion and relief arose deep in her heart.
"That's right! That's it! That's it!"
In an instant, the spinning fairy jumped off the counter in excitement, ran around the counter in a hurry, grabbed the young man's hand with great excitement, and nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice——
"That's so well said! You said it so well! Finally... finally someone can understand me. This is great..."
Her mood was high, as if she had found a long-lost soulmate, and she spoke faster and faster: "That's right! That's right! Our name is Tetlot, a spinning fairy. What's your name?"
"..."
"..."
"Ah, this...my name is Li Feiyu."
Xia Zhi blinked, and immediately held the other person's small hands in his hand, shook them very hard a few times, and said in a serious and serious tone:
"Nice to meet you, Tetlot. Did you make these clothes? Then you really deserve to be... uh, the master of visual color!"
"Yeah! Really? Really?!" Tetlot's voice jumped with joy, and the excitement was beyond words. The joy of being affirmed almost jumped out of every movement, infecting the surrounding air.
"Wait! I still have it! I still have some works in there... Just wait, I'll take them out!"
She was so happy that she spun around in circles, then immediately remembered something, and trotted into the store.
Vivian, who was beside her, pursed her lips and looked at this scene of "meeting a close friend in high mountains and flowing water" and didn't know what to say for a moment.
She took a breath and was about to take this opportunity to say something to the young man, but suddenly her eyebrows raised.
The girl seemed to sense something strange and subconsciously turned her head to look in a certain direction.
"Be careful! There's something going on!"
After receiving the warning, Xia Zhi's eyes changed slightly, her expression also calmed, and she looked in the direction of the girl's gaze.
Can't see anything...
Magic perception didn’t detect it either…
He deeply understood that he was only an apprentice at the moment, so he was not depressed because of it. Instead, he directly chose to ask his thigh: "What is the situation? Vivian, can you sense it?"
"Moss——!"
"Moss is here! Moss is here!!"
"There are many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many? Run away! Run away quickly!!"
Vivian didn't need to answer. A huge commotion seemed to have suddenly erupted in that direction. The screams and roars of the goblins were mixed with despair and fear. Not only did they answer the question, but they also seemed to herald the coming disaster.
Moss?
That thing is invading this town? at this time?
"Let's go and retreat immediately. There are too many of them..." Vivian's expression was also a little ugly. She glanced at his expression and immediately said in a decisive tone: "We will consider it after the actual combat drill!"
"We are still not sure how you will be hurt or die in this state. We absolutely cannot take risks!"
"I know I know……"
Xia Zhi nodded, and then heard hurried footsteps.
"Moss is here? How could-"
Tetlot ran out of the store with a lot of clothes in her arms. She seemed a little unable to react to what was going on. However, she quickly understood the situation and quickly dropped everything in her hands and grabbed it. The young man's arm.
"In the name of the master of visual color! I, Tetlot, will definitely protect you!"
The little girl patted her unwavering chest vigorously and looked directly at the human across from her with great seriousness, as if she was making a promise: "Don't worry, Li Feiyu!"
"?"
Is this one of the lines that boys want to say the most? Why is a little girl saying this to herself?
——Xia Zhi suddenly felt that he might really reflect on himself.
