Mrs. Ruby actually doesn't look fat. At most, she has a little extra fat, but it's because she has a large frame, so her overall size is relatively large.
But after giving birth, she felt that her weight was increasing rapidly and she was aging rapidly. She wanted to lose weight all the time but never succeeded.
Hearing her excited shout, her husband came out of the bathroom holding a toothbrush in his mouth and looked over.
"Oh, congratulations! But dear, a person's weight fluctuates at different times due to water content and other factors..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw his wife's unhappy expression, so he quickly shut up and concentrated on brushing his teeth.
Mrs. Ruby knew what her husband was saying, but she had been weighing herself every morning after getting up for a long time, so she could feel whether she had really lost weight.
She happily took her phone from the table, then stood back on the electronic scale, turned on the camera mode on her phone, and captured her feet and the data from the electronic scale in the frame.
"Click."
A weight record photo is taken.
Then she opened WeChatAPP with a smile and posted updates and pictures on her account. Compared with Twitter and Facebook, she prefers this newly popular software for posting private things because it has better privacy and it is convenient for everyone to interact without pressure.
"When I woke up this morning, I found that my weight loss program has finally made progress! I lost 1 kg!"
There are also pictures taken a few days ago on the side.
The prompts for likes and comments kept ringing.
Mr. Ruby had already applied shaving gel and prepared to shave, but he still felt mentally exhausted.
Look at my wife, she is so excited now as if she is ten years younger.
"Women..."
After Mrs. Ruby posted the status, she refreshed the screen out of habit to check other people's status, but gradually a strange look appeared on her face.
…
Pink Butterfly: "I found myself thinner after waking up, a full 0.6 kg, so happy!" - 26 likes
Doctors also love beauty: "I seem to have lost weight today. Although I didn't sleep well, I am in a good mood!" - 12 likes
Goethe Female Cavalry: "To be honest, it seems that I am still very talented in losing weight. I lost two kilograms in a week. I think it won't take long for me to get back to my devilish figure!" - 16 likes
…
After flipping through the posts one after another, she found about five or six people had posted updates about their weight loss, which not only made Mrs. Ruby feel strange, but also dampened her joy.
Why are so many people posting similar updates today?
But she didn't think much about it, seeing that she had received more than 40 likes in a short period of time, which was the first of its kind. As a new popular convenient social APP, the refreshing habits of people in the circle are similar.
She looked at the mirror picture she posted yesterday and the number of likes had reached 120, which was one-third of the number of her friends.
He smiled and went into the bathroom.
I have to send my child to school soon, so I quickly wash up and make breakfast.
Toasted bread, fried eggs and bacon, plus fresh milk and coffee, is a simple and nutritious breakfast.
Mrs. Ruby quickly brought it to the table.
"Mom, Dad, good morning..."
Luna came out with sleepy eyes, yawning continuously.
"Baby, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Mrs. Ruby asked with concern.
"Well, I had a nightmare last night and didn't sleep well."
The child, who was only six or seven years old, was not spoiled at all. He sat at the table and ate his breakfast quietly without complaining.
…
Brown and the twin brothers, who had not had a good rest the night before, finally saw the family of three coming out again.
"Come on, they're coming out!"
The physiques of these three people are different from those of ordinary people, so not sleeping for one night will not have much impact.
This time, the twin brothers tried to find a way to mobilize Qin Xiaoxia's magic power, but including Brown, the other three did not notice anything.
"This time all three of them returned to the car, but still didn't feel anything."
The white sedan had driven away, but Brown's car did not move.
"Or maybe the unknown monster noticed us and left..."
Then all three of them looked towards Ruby's house at the same time.
"Or, it's in there!"
The older twin brother took over the second half of his younger brother's sentence.
Brown added.
"It's also possible that it can evade our perception!"
They had never seen anything, and now they couldn't even sense anything. Even the most basic sense of crisis seemed to not exist.
Would it be too rash to just go into the house? Not only would it be dangerous, but it would also alert the enemy.
The matter was reported to Qin Xiaoxia through Philier.
But just listening to the description, it seemed that there were neither casualties nor a sense of crisis, as if it was not a very big deal.
It might even be worse than the invisible insect monster that Jiutian had at that time.
Think about the people in Los Angeles. Not to mention Baru, even Jenny and a few others have gradually become able to stand on their own. The other three prospective knights are no pushovers either. One has already started to get in touch with the core of the Hercules Security Company and is showing signs of control. Two of them have become celebrities in the school and have a wide range of friends in high-end universities, keeping an eye on all kinds of talents and academic trends.
On the other hand, let’s look at the French branch.
The twin brothers are both technical experts with high IQ and courage. Philier, if nothing else, at least contains the authentic genes of the old liars. The others have been consuming Mumu's magic fruit and have been transformed by their own magic for a long time.
There are many potential stocks, but they always seem to have no backbone.
Qin Xiaoxia felt that this was more or less an opportunity, and he really couldn't get away. Others were either like Su Su, preparing to embrace "elf transformation", or were unreliable like Mumu Doudou and the Red Banshee.
So this time he directly replied to them to observe carefully, try to figure out what it was, and then solve it themselves if they could.
This reply was exactly what Brown wanted.
He had reported it before out of caution, but he could feel that both Philier and the twin brothers felt relieved as soon as they heard the report.
This is not good!
He knew very well that this was not a mentality of getting rid of burdens. He knew these partners and none of them were lazy or cowardly.
That is a more fatal mentality, which is to doubt one's own abilities and a lack of confidence that hinders one's growth. It is like a weakened version of oneself.
Maybe his body is strong, but his mind is not. He has no problem facing ordinary people, but what is Shuguang facing?
In Brown’s opinion, it is no exaggeration to say that the mentality of those in Dawn has fallen, which will not only affect themselves and the association, but may also have an adverse impact on the world.
He finally understood the heartfelt words his mentor Baru had said to him before he left.
It was Ballou who personally saw Brown off at the Los Angeles airport.
At that time, Baru had clearly stated that the pressure on this generation of Staff-Bearing Sages was too great, and almost the burden of the entire association was shouldered by him alone.
Unlike in history when there were many heroes to share the burden, Dawn today faces internal and external troubles, and many inheritances are missing. The magic controllers need to monitor a large area, and there is only one sage.
The Silent Knights have just begun to recover, so they are seriously lacking in backbone forces, and this is the time when they most urgently need the next generation to grow up.
These words deeply touched Brown, and with them, Baru successfully moved Brown to become his student, and as a mentor, he ordered him to participate in the next round of knight training, which might be more perverted.
Although Brown later came to his senses and felt like he had been tricked, what his mentor said was definitely the truth.
…
So when headquarters received the receipt, while others were just trying to encourage themselves, Brown burst out with strong enthusiasm and motivation.
It also motivates everyone to raise their morale and regard it as a test for themselves.
Except for a few people who had to deal with other tasks and had already joined the army and infiltrated the French army, the remaining 10 people took action.
They took turns standing guard outside Ruby's house and quietly placed magic plants around their home.
If Ruby's family were careful enough, they would find that a lot of "weeds", "wild vines" and "wild flowers" had grown around their home in a short period of time.
Brown, with his best physical fitness, never leaves and only needs to sleep for one or two hours a day to stay energetic.
…
It was late one night again. Ruby's child was fine, but the couple were having nightmares at the same time.
**, Mrs. Ruby and Mr. Ruby both made hoarse noises in their throats.
"Oh...ah...oh..."
His hands and feet involuntarily twitched, and he clutched the bed sheet tightly as if he wanted to tear it into pieces.
On the dressing table in the room, in the beautiful mirror, figures were struggling.
Each of them looked like dry bones, like dried corpses without any moisture, and hoarse sounds such as “Oh…Ah…Oh…” came from their mouths.
The actions of two of them were almost identical to the two people in the room.
Mrs. Ruby is having a nightmare now.
In her dream, she was trapped in a small space. It was pitch black and the room was dead silent. She could feel herself rotting and dying.
Suddenly, a glass surface appeared in front of her eyes, allowing her to look outside while squirming weakly.
She remembered there, it was her home, her room!
And **, another her and her husband were sleeping.
"Ah...save me...my dear...save me...!"
"Oh...ah...why can't I hear anything? Why?! Who is that woman? Ah..."
She didn't know how terrifying her dry and dirty face was at the moment. There was no pupil in her deep pupils, only resentment.
Brown and another young man who were guarding outside did not hear all this.
The next morning, when Ruby and his wife woke up, the bed was a little damp, soaked with sweat.
I had another nightmare last night, but I can't remember what it was about.
It was the next day. Mrs. Ruby stood on the scale and found that she had lost weight again. A smile appeared on her somewhat listless face.
She didn't lose much weight, only 0.5 kg, but it was just one day. She was originally worried about rebounding.
