Mu Liuyue suddenly opened her eyes.
My heart was pounding as I saw the unfamiliar ceiling of the room.
She stared at the ceiling of Wen Li's guest room for a long time before she felt herself gradually calming down.
Cyber Beast City, Dream Biotechnology, Mechanical Anaros, and a thrilling escape...
There is also a magical creature called "Xiao Meng" that looks like pink jelly.
Everything that happened in this thrilling and magical dream remained clearly in her memory.
Mu Chuyue had never had such a realistic dream before, and she still remembered all the details after waking up.
It was not yet seven o'clock and the sky was just getting light. The puppy Tuanzi beside my pillow was sleeping soundly, breathing evenly and long.
I don’t know what I dreamed about, the white-haired puppy made soft purring sounds and curled itself up into a ball.
Mu Chuyue sat up and gently stroked Bai Ya for a while. The fluffy touch and real warmth made her feel at ease as if she had finally returned to reality.
The card-tooth soldier in the shadow showed up, and his slender finger bones touched the beastmaster's forehead, making a slight clicking sound.
"Click?" (Did Hiiragi have a nightmare?)
Ellen rarely saw Mu Huoyue waking up so early and looking so emotional.
Mu Chuyue shook her head. It couldn’t be considered a nightmare, but just a very rare lucid dream experience.
But this dream was so lucid that it made her a little concerned, especially the existence of Xiao Meng.
It was a completely unknown creature to her.
It is said that dreams are a projection of one's subconscious mind. Will a person see things in his or her dreams that he or she has never known before?
She glanced at the calming grass sachet beside her pillow. It was still placed the same way as before she went to sleep, without any change.
Not long after, Wen Li also woke up, yawning and looking sleepy over at Mu Chuyue.
Wen Li is the type of person who can fall asleep in three seconds even in the wild. Even she didn’t sleep well. Maybe this calming grass sachet had the opposite effect?
Mu Chuyue said a few words of concern to her, but Wen Li didn't care much. She just felt that she seemed to have had a wonderful dream, but she didn't remember it when she woke up. It was just that her body felt like it had been running all night and was extremely tired.
"Meow..." Yan Ximiao nudged the Beastmaster's lower back, urging her to wash up.
It was not the first time that Wen Li dreamed of some strange things. She had been fighting with someone in her dream before. In the middle of the night, she suddenly shouted "Flame Wheel", which scared Yan Xi Miao so much that she almost hit the bedroom ceiling with the Flame Wheel out of reflex.
The two had breakfast together, and at nine o'clock, Mu Huoyue received an unexpected call.
She looked at the long letter sent to her mobile phone with a thoughtful expression.
"What's wrong, Hiiragi?" Wen Li asked vaguely after eating the last soup dumpling.
"I have something personal to tell you." Mu Shuyue turned off his phone and smiled at her, "I have to leave today. I'll contact you when I have time, Wen Li."
"Yeah." Wen Li nodded and watched her friend leave.
She yawned again and touched the Flame Strike Meow beside her.
Anyway, it’s still early, so I might as well go and take a nap.
…
…
After leaving Wen Li's residential area, Mu Liuyue read the long letter on her phone again.
This is a communication from a law firm.
Her mother, Elsa Legend, seemed to have left a notarized will before her last exploration of the secret realm.
If Elsa fails to return safely from the secret realm and change the notarization, then after Mu Chuyue turns eighteen, all the property shares on the list will be transferred to her name.
The person in charge of executing this notarization is Elsa Legend’s long-time partner, senior lawyer Zhao Lu.
On the first day that Mu Huoyue officially turned eighteen, she sent a contact letter.
It just so happened that Lawyer Zhao’s law office was in Jingjiang City. Mu Liuyue thought about it and decided to go directly to the law firm to have a face-to-face interview with Lawyer Zhao.
In addition to performing the notarization, she had many other things she wanted to ask this person who knew Elsa well.
Mu Huoyue took a taxi to the address on the contact letter and met this capable senior lawyer in the office on the top floor.
Lawyer Zhao Lu is the same age as Elsa Chuanqi. She is wearing a professional suit with her hairstyle and collar buttoned meticulously.
There was a strange black and white balance on her desk, and it was shaking the scale bars on both sides out of boredom.
【Name】：Guideline Balance
[Attributes]: Light, Divine Mind
[Racial Level]: High-level warrior
[Growth Level]: Maturity Stage 4
[Talent Core]: Painting the Code (Divine Mind System C-level)
[Introduction to the Race]: A special supernatural creature found in the S-level secret realm "Chaos Spacetime". It has a sensory perception and understanding of the law of cause and effect and rules, and its own characteristics can detect the accuracy of things.
[Normal implicit energy value]: 224056P
This is quite rare. A pet whose ability involves laws and causality has almost no combat power itself. Due to its characteristics, it is used in various occasions that require argumentation and oaths.
The most common thing is that when taking the wedding vows, the newlyweds will put the rings together on the scale of the balance to prove their love for their lover.
Some people also use the lawyer's balance as a lie detector. To some extent, it is indeed a very suitable pet for professional lawyers.
Lawyer Zhao looked up at Mu Yuyue and nodded slightly to her: "Sit down."
Mu Liuyue pulled out the chair in front of the desk and sat down.
Lawyer Zhao took out a pile of documents that had been prepared long ago and needed Mu Liuyue's signature, and placed them in front of her one by one.
These are the lists of properties left by the legend of Elsa.
There are properties in Changning City, Xingzhou and Jingjiang City, the capital, funds and deposits in banks, and shares of various companies...
Mu Chuyue saw the shares of the Xiaoyun Dog Breeding Base and Changning Dojo, as well as many other industries that she was not familiar with, and even some foreign-funded companies.
ZH Zenith Super Control Technology Co., Ltd. is a holding subsidiary of the Nova region's high-tech group in Dayan.
Most industries are continuously run by professionals. As a small shareholder, Aisha does not participate in the operation of these companies and industries. She only needs to wait for dividends on time.
These properties are almost all of Elsa’s savings as a legendary beastmaster.
Before she finally joined the team to explore the super S-level secret realm "Wanxiang Tree Sea", she seemed to have anticipated that this would be a dangerous journey, so she made a notarization in advance to leave a way out for her daughter to have food and clothing.
Mu Huoyue signed all the documents in silence. The Daolu balance watched her silently, and the beam swayed regularly from side to side.
After completing the handover in front of Daolu Tianping, the client's notarization had been successfully executed in the legal sense. Zhao Lu's eyes relaxed slightly and looked at the silent girl in front of him.
She had never met Mu Huoyue. She met Aisha when she was studying in Nova in her early years. Later, she heard that the young legend got married and had a daughter early, and she felt regretful for a while.
However, Elsa did not retire after marriage. She is still active at the forefront of exploring secret places and often appears in news reports.
This Law of Guidance Balance, which was born in an S-level secret realm, was also brought back by Elsa specifically and given to her for the contract.
During the exploration ten years ago, Elsa found her and left this notarized will before setting off, and Zhao Lu also asked her about it.
Since you know the danger of the secret realm, why do you join the exploration team without hesitation?
What's more, there are so many people around her who care about her.
"That secret realm contains secrets that could change the world."
She still remembered Elsa's answer at that time, and the sparkling eyes of the legendary beastmaster when he mentioned his dreams.
"If I don't go now, I will definitely regret it in the future. I never make decisions that I will regret."
Elsa's love for her family and her daughter is real, her desire for her dreams and her curiosity that surpasses most people are also real, and she doesn't want to sacrifice any of them.
This notarized will is Elsa's answer to her life decisions.
"Lawyer Zhao, can I ask you a few questions?"
After signing all the handover documents, Mu Huoyue looked up at the middle-aged lawyer with a serious expression.
Zhao Lu's fingers are slightly clasped together, which is the posture when listening to customers' inquiries.
"Do you want to hear the answer from a professional lawyer or from Aisha's best friend?"
"I want to hear the answer from the professional lawyer who is Elsa's good friend." Mu Huoyue smiled.
Zhao Lu nodded slightly: "You ask."
"Besides these documents, did my mother leave anything else behind?" Mu Liuyue asked.
Zhao Lu shook her head. "In fact, this notarization is more of a precautionary measure. Elsa did not intend it to be a [will]."
"It's just that according to our agreement, if Aisha doesn't change the contents of the notarization before you come of age, then I will execute it according to the notarization today."
"...In other words, there is no evidence to prove that mother is dead, right?" Mu Liuyue lowered his eyes.
"Yes." After a brief silence, Zhao Lu gave an affirmative answer.
"The second question is, why does mother have shares in ZH Company?" Mu Liuyue slowed down, looked up and continued to ask.
ZH Zenith Super Control Technology Co., Ltd. entered the Dayan market about ten years ago, almost at the same time when Aisha disappeared.
Why did Elsa Legend buy shares of a foreign company before entering a dangerous secret realm?
"You know that Aisha is a mixed-race of Nova and Dayan. She was born and raised in the Nova area." Zhao Lu said.
Mu Huoyue nodded. She knew that her mother was a mixed-race, her grandmother was a beastmaster in Dayan, and her grandfather was a scientific researcher in the Nova region.
"When she was in college, Aisha received assistance from Zenith Control Group. After graduation, she naturally joined their research project. As a representative player of the world competition, she came to Dayan to exchange and study, and she was also registered under the name of ZH Group."
Zhao Lu pushed up her glasses and continued, "At that time, Zenith Super Control had plans to enter Dayan. Aisha was one of the original founders of Zenith Super Control Technology Co., Ltd."
Mu Chuyue was slightly stunned. She didn't know that there was such a connection between Elsa Legend and Zenith Super Control.
“I think the reason why Elsa entered the ‘Forest of All Things’ was also due to the Zenith Override Project. ”
"Their project has been looking for a special super S-level secret realm, and Aisha believes that it is the "Sea of Wanxiang Trees". ”
Zhao Lu paused, "The details involve confidentiality regulations, and Aisha didn't tell me, so this is just my guess as a friend."
"Thank you for telling me this, Lawyer Zhao," said Mu Liuyue.
"I have one last question. Before mother left for the secret realm, did she mention Mu Yixia...my sister?"
Zhao Lu recalled carefully and she knew that Mu Chuyue had a sister of the same age.
Have a sister of the same age?
The senior lawyer's usually tight logic seemed to be slightly stuck when the gears were engaged, and it jumped straight over.
"No." Zhao Lu answered affirmatively. Whether in the video recording of signing the notarization or in her memory, Aisha had never mentioned the existence of Mu Yixia.
Mu Chuyue fell into deep thought. The Legend of Elsa did not mention Mu Yixia anywhere, which meant that she did not know the existence of Mu Yixia before entering the secret realm.
"Isn't this very strange?" Mu Liuyue finally asked the question that had always puzzled her.
"Why do everyone seem to accept Mu Yixia's existence so naturally?"
As early as when she saw this memory after traveling through time, Mu Liuyue couldn't understand why no one felt strange about Mu Yixia.
A "sister" who appeared out of thin air and was brought back from a secret realm. Everyone around her, even Mu Huiyue herself in the past, accepted her existence and never had any doubts.
Who is Mu Yixia and where did she come from?
After listening to Mu Liuyue's words, Zhao Lu was silent for a long time.
It was so long that Mu Chuyue felt a little uneasy. Did she ask the wrong question... ?
After a long time, Zhao Lu let out a long sigh. As a professional lawyer, his objective rationality overwhelmed his subjective feelings.
"you're right."
"Mu Yixia, your sister's existence is... unreasonable."
But until Mu Huoyue asked this question herself, she had never thought about it seriously.
Normally, people don't deliberately think about phenomena and instincts that exist as a matter of course.
Just like you need to wear clothes when it’s cold, you want to eat when you’re hungry, and the sun rises from the east every day...Mu Chuyue has a younger sister who is the same age as her named Mu Yixia.
Yes, before someone pointed this out directly, Zhao Lu's cognition of [Mu Yixia's existence] was common sense at the same level as the above-mentioned phenomenon.
Her rationality and logic were trying to analyze this common sense that existed for unknown reasons, and it was a very unreasonable inference.
But at the same time, my subjective feeling is still that Mu Yixia's existence should be taken for granted like a person's need to breathe.
