Chapter 563 The Day After Leaving the Mercury Lamp
In the end, I gave up the idea of using coercion.
The opinion of Mercury Lamp must be respected. This is the decision I made from the beginning. For this stubborn rose girl, force is meaningless.
It can be seen that Mercury Lamp has been conflicted before. It is no longer my intention to cause her such distress. Now that she has made a decision, what we should do is not to put more pressure on her. Maybe return to our own The world will return to the confrontation with the six sisters. After returning to the loneliness of being alone, the mercury lamp will regain its cold shell. But if that time comes, I will lead a group of high-ranking empire officials to melt her again. That’s fine. I’m the daddy. Who am I to be afraid of? Sooner or later, I have to let the mercury lamp be willingly taken home and raised by me...
"You guys really can think of everything," Lin Xue said leisurely from behind, as if she had completely read through my thoughts, "At this time, it should be you, the hero, who takes the initiative to say goodbye to our little princess, right?"
Being pushed forward by Lin Xue, I was not embarrassed at all. Instead, I walked openly behind the mercury lamp and looked at the petite doll in front of me standing on the edge of the boulder several meters above the ground, facing the sunset. Looking into the distance in silence.
If she were to be half a meter taller, she would look like a heroine.
To be honest, I'm really worried about her falling... When I was little, my sister taught me not to stand on high places, especially not on the edge of such places...
"What are you looking at?"
"The sun," Mercury Lamp said calmly, "the same sun as that world."
"You can go home tonight."
"Well, I want to see Xiaohui."
Xiaohui? It’s referring to the one who signed a contract with you to become a young magician... your sister’s question is wrong at this time!
Let’s start another line: It refers to the human girl who made a contract with the mercury lamp and was cared about by the mercury lamp because she suffered from congenital heart disease, right? It seems that Mercury Lamp is really interested in each other. Isn't your first goal when you return home to find your father who has been dead for who knows how many years?
"Stay?" I said calmly in a very calm tone.
"No," was the response without hesitation this time. It seemed that Mercury Lamp would not change so easily after making up its mind.
"What will happen if I use force?" I just said jokingly, "I have all the power to seal this universe, and I can make it impossible for anyone to leave."
"You wouldn't do that," Mercury Lamp responded more crisply this time, and answered before I asked another question, "Because you are just a hopelessly good-hearted fool!"
I took this sentence as a compliment.
"Okay, I respect your idea." I scratched my hair. Although I was a little unhappy, I still agreed with the other party's irritating comment. "But you should also expect that I will find you. I just hope you won’t greet me with a bad face.”
"Hmph, you're just a stupid human being..." After Mercury Lamp's signature slander, she suddenly turned around. What I didn't expect was that the other person had a faint smile on her face that was completely inconsistent with her usual image, "But what if If I happen to be in a good mood, I might serve you some black tea!"
She showed her fragile side. Although she said such strong words and had such a quiet expression, the dazzling light that flashed across her eyes suddenly made me feel the fragile side of this guy. Mercury Lamp, just like her name. The same, under the silver-white strength and magnificence, is as fragile as water. This girl who was irresponsibly abandoned by the producer on a shelf full of dust, suffered a lot but finally got the title of "trash" used her He has weaved a strong shell for himself with his obsession and will, but now the shell has melted into a big hole, revealing his heart as pure white and fragile as mercury.
With this promise, I feel relieved. I hope you don't really turn back into that stupid idiot doll that makes people feel bad. I'm looking forward to the moment when you use your 92.3cm height to hold a cup of tea for me.
With this thought, I narrowed my eyes slightly. The air around me seemed to be saying goodbye. Suddenly, a strong wind blew. When I opened my eyes again, the mercury lamp had disappeared from my sight.
Leave like this? It really fits your heart that people can never catch...
"Ajun," Qianqian suddenly ran over and poked my arm, "The mercury lamp was blown down by the wind just now!"
I:"……"
Although I know this is the case, can't you let me wander in the realm of wet people for a little longer? ! Also, as I said just now, you can't stand too high or too close to the side, otherwise you will fall easily. Sister, I will never deceive you.
In the scene where the world is desolate, the atmosphere is melancholy, and the people are desolate. Playing two violins in the background could have thrown the film festival back to bring back the statuette. The female lead was saying goodbye to the male lead and was blown down by the strong wind. The whole scene It immediately jumped from a tragedy to a comedy of life, so the mercury lamp, which was not very adapted to this unscrupulous script change, showed a slightly sluggish state for the whole three hours. I don't know if it was because of the fall from a height of several meters that this little kid fell. The head of the doll: Speaking of which, she was unlucky enough. The height of a few meters was just not enough for her to react and open her wings. If the stone were higher, the mercury lamp might be able to perform an acute angle climb.
Sure enough, in the last long shot before leaving, does this little guy with unlimited luck also want to contribute a happy memory to us? By the way, is this girl related to Cu Chulainn?
The spearman almost lost his magic gun when he was fishing two days ago.
The process is omitted here. In short, the mercury lamp finally left.
A super-powerful ticket signed by the names of high-ranking empire officials that can make the dimensional hub defender's legs weak. An express train carrying only one passenger, carrying a small doll and her mountain-like luggage. (It was all prepared by us) After leaving this world, Mercury Lamp declined everyone’s farewells and insisted on leaving alone. So, just like that, the family lost a noisy little one.
"It's so boring..."
The first one to sigh was of course Qian Qian. This girl who couldn't stand separation the most would be depressed for a long time every time she said goodbye to others, even if she had the ability to travel through planes. In her opinion, leaving means leaving and does not exist. The problem of inconvenient transportation and the mercury lamp returning to that distant world are enough to make this silly girl sad.
She just lacks strength, but she is not heartless.
"Ajun, when are we going to find a mercury lamp? How about we go and settle there?"
Okay, maybe a little heartless.
"I said, I usually send away Ilya, send away Laura, send away Kane, send away Sal... I send away so many people but I don't see you reacting so big. Why do you have to go find that person this time after not seeing each other for ten minutes? A doll?"
Although I also felt a bit empty, I was still very puzzled by Qian Qian's reaction.
"It's different, because we already treat Mercury Lamp as a family member," Qianqian expressed what all of us felt in one sentence, "Ilya and the others are just friends, and it's normal to leave, but Mercury Lamp is family..."
Family... So it turns out, we have unknowingly regarded Mercury Lamp as family, so even if we clearly know that we have the ability to see each other at any time, we will still be so concerned in our hearts.
Unexpectedly, Qian Qian was the first to point out the confusion among the authorities. Should I say that it is really easy for a weak person to escape from the confusion and see through everything as an outsider? Qianqian, your talent is so cruel!
The night was already very deep, and the lights in the city were still shining brightly. The distant street lights still kept a weak light in the room, and the moonlight was extremely bright at night. I was a little unable to sleep while lying in bed.
...just an excuse.
What came out of the lampshade on the bedside was the weak and rhythmic snoring of a certain goddess. If it weren't for the enhanced hearing, it would be impossible to distinguish it. There were also one or two unexplained murmurs in the middle. It must have been Dingdang talking to her in his sleep. Who said anything? I looked in the direction of the window in a daze. There, there used to be a little girl less than one meter tall, standing in the background of the moonlight, staring here with purple eyes, as if she was an independent black rose. .
Looking down, on the floor under the window, the huge black suitcase was still lying there quietly, covered with a graceful veil by the moonlight.
…
box! ! You forgot the packaging box for the mercury lamp!
...That idiot doll took away half a ton of souvenirs we prepared, but forgot his own box... At this moment, I was completely messed up in the wet blues sentimentality.
Wait... It's not forgotten, it can't be forgotten - Mercury Lamp once mentioned that there is a soul resonance connection between Rose Girl's box and them, that is, it was made to allow Rose Girl with an alchemical soul to recover her soul consumption. The container is almost another "body" of theirs. How could the mercury lamp forget such an important thing?
With a "click" sound, I suddenly turned on the table lamp on the bedside. After waiting for three seconds, a sharp, thin and slightly panicked voice rang out: "Wow! Why did it suddenly light up?! Is there another problem with the movement of the sun? Dingdang obviously just checked the stellar parameters of the entire universe yesterday..."
I should have noticed this problem a long time ago, but because of someone’s pet attributes, I completely forgot about their intelligent creature settings: Ding Dong is the most sentimental among us (believe it or not, I believe it anyway) , this little thing once burst into tears in my hands because she had to be separated from us and return to the God Realm to report on her duties. But today when she said goodbye to the mercury lamp, she played like a fool and played crazy all day long!
And more than once, he looked at us who were not having a good time with confused eyes...
"Ah? Ah Jun," the little one who fell out of the lampshade in a daze looked up at me in confusion. It took him a while to wake up, and then jumped up and climbed onto my shoulder, "Do you want to take Dingdang out to play?"
I don't even know how her brain grew.
"Little one," I held the little one in my hand seriously, "What did the mercury lamp tell you before it left?"
"Mercury lamp," Dingdang recalled slightly, "she asked me for two small buds from the World Tree, and said she would exchange them with me for lollipops from her world when she came back!"
"Okay, you can go back to sleep."
The little thing nodded, crawled back to the lampshade obediently, and immediately jumped out again: "Then Ajun, are you going to wake up Dingdang for the magic horse?!"
"Because you, this dizzy guy, really need to wake up!" I had a small brain breakdown and shook my head. This stupid guy was actually in a different plane from us from beginning to end (this adjective No violation at all!), the mercury lamp can fool her into not knowing where to go!
The buds of the world tree? A lollipop? Dingdang, you prodigal girl can really settle scores.
At this time, I had already guessed what the mercury lamp wanted to do with that thing. The buds of the World Tree are the most "useless" part of the World Tree itself. When they grow out, they barely have time to accumulate any energy. That guy Lilina uses that thing every day. The lack of growth in shabu-shabu is an ironclad proof, but even a sprout that is of little use in our eyes is just like a foundation-building pill to ordinary people.
It's a bit difficult to bring back the dead, but it's definitely a cure-all. Just boil seven bowls of water into one bowl, mix it with some rock sugar, and serve it while it's hot. Let Hawking punch Schwarzenegger over and it's like playing. Of course, it's also easy to treat heart disease. .
Moreover, finally, the buds of the World Tree also have a very important function: as part of the most original power of the universe, after the establishment of the Space-Time Administration, it was regarded as a special ticket by us, as long as it is registered in the Shadow City Travelers on record can activate it in case of emergencies. They can activate the automatic servo transmission of the bureau. Each examiner has several of these "internal coupons". So, the mercury lamp requires two buds. There is no need to doubt the purpose.
A return ticket, and a return ticket that does not pass through my hands...
Of course I was not the only one to make this discovery of the century. The next second, the whole family knew about the little prank of the mercury lamp.
So, before dawn the next morning, my originally spacious bedroom was suddenly crowded with high-ranking officials from the empire. A group of the world's best, second, and third-ranked people who had successfully deceived the puppet were gearing up. Waiting to scare that guy into jumping.
"That dead girl from the mercury lamp! She even dared to fool the great prophet!" Lin Xue is the most motivated one among us. This is easy to understand. As a prophet, she let a doll fool her successfully. This is simply an insult to her professional ethics. , it’s like losing a fight, and Tyson can’t even feel depressed if he knocks over a useless house, but if Tyson kicks the useless house away—don’t talk about Tyson, he’s handcuffed to the radiator of the police station. None of them can bear this anger.
What's more, the sighing appearance of Lady Lin Xue, who was successfully deceived by the mercury lamp the night before, has now undoubtedly become a black history. Miss Lin thinks that if she does not take revenge, she will be shameless to face the ancestors of the Lin family, while I I have been reflecting on a question:
How did the mercury lamp, which was so proud, holy and independent from the world, dye us so black? That girl is completely bad at learning now.
"Okay, okay, you are not on 24 hours a day," I patted Lin Xue on the shoulder, "That girl is really lucky. With so many loopholes, she almost succeeded - Girl Lin, please confirm that she will Jump in here?"
Lin Xue bared her teeth at me: "Don't worry, I didn't sleep for half the night."
I said, don’t you feel bad that you have worked so hard just to mess with a doll?
"Hey, stop making trouble, it's coming, it's coming!"
I was about to give Lin Xue a knife when the other party suddenly started shouting in a low voice. Immediately, everyone exchanged a lot of looks.
"The group invisibility field is activated, and the space fragment warping begins!"
Sandora finished speaking, and in the blink of an eye, the originally crowded room became empty.
Half a minute later, while our wretched invisible party was holding their breath, a small figure appeared outside the window. She first carefully looked at the surrounding situation to make sure no one noticed, then gently opened the window and followed the thief. Jump to the ground as well.
We were almost out of breath as we circled around.
"Spread out, spread out, don't touch her! Act as planned!"
I quickly used my mental connection to assign tasks to the others, then sneaked up behind the mercury lamp and blew a breath.
The little guy got excited and jumped up all of a sudden. I had to hide quickly, otherwise I would have lost my teeth.
"Strange, no one?"
Mercury Lamp looked around in surprise. The feeling that although there was no one around but being spied on everywhere must be creepy, but this bold puppet was just a little confused.
The night has gradually receded, and the eastern horizon has become slightly brighter, with a vague fish belly white appearing. The room is shrouded in just the right dim light. I quickly gestured to Qianqian: "Pause!"
Time stopped near the house.
Of course, the doll girl didn't know what happened, but looked at the empty bed with regret: "Hey, I thought I could scare that stupid human, what were you doing up so early?"
After muttering, Mercury Light gently opened the door, and we followed cautiously out - at this time, I was really jealous of Anweina, she went directly through the wall and entered the workplace.
"No one...hasn't woken up yet?" The mercury lamp pattered down the deserted corridor, "Although it's a little early, the big crow named Anweina should have started washing her by this time. The ground."
I immediately looked at an innocent maid fiercely, feeling that the room was full of sinister wind at 4:30 every morning. Is it you who did it?
In the confusion along the way, the mercury lamp slowly went down to the living room. Of course, there was silence here.
Only the TV set on one wall of the living room was still on, and there were scattered snowflakes on it.
Mercury Lamp looked at the TV that seemed to have been on all night without knowing why, then suddenly jumped onto the sofa and sat there quietly.
Everyone in our circle was immediately dumbfounded - the guests won't cooperate, what should we do?
What made me even more stunned was that within a few minutes, the mercury lamp fell asleep...
No way! ! ! A group of empire leaders worked together for most of the plan and it was over before it could even be implemented? Why doesn't this doll behave according to common sense at all? As a normal person, you should panic and push away the rooms upstairs one by one in this situation, right? Our names should be greeted everywhere, right? Should I turn off that rustling TV? Anweina is nesting behind the screen and is almost smoking, right? You actually found a soft place and fell asleep!
You have embarrassed a large number of horror and suspense film directors in history!
