Rat Floss Allergy and Cross-Volume Prescriptions
At the first quarter of the morning hour, the incense in the warm room mingled with the sweet, fishy aroma of Cthulhu slime. Xiaodou curled up in the corner of the carved bed, gazing blankly at the rash on Young Marquis Lin's neck. He removed his outer robe, revealing a mechanical heart gear pattern embroidered on the lining, which faintly resonated with the Western fantasy particles etched on Xiaodou's cheongsam cuffs.
"Why do I feel allergic when I'm near you?" Young Marquis Lin clutched the jade pendant, "And this mark..."
The pattern of light marking "001 + Xiaodou = ∞" on the jade pendant flickered. With every inch of Xiaodou's fragrance (containing nectar from Western fantasy elements) approaching, the rash receded. She bravely licked her fingertips, which oozed with rainbow-colored healing energy. She gently tapped them on Young Marquis Lin's wrist, and the rash instantly transformed into a holographic butterfly and flew away.
"This is..." His pupils reflected the number "001" on the butterfly's wings.
Xiaodou swung the hem of her cheongsam, revealing the cross-curled personality lines on the inside: "Sweet energy is both poison and medicine." She took out the nanorobot transmitted by the mechanical cat from her subspace stomach. The robot turned into a silver needle from an ancient saying, pierced into the acupoint between the elbows of Young Marquis Lin, and extracted a wisp of black tentacle-like toxin.
"Miss, it's time for red bean soup." Cui'er walked in holding a food box, but her eyes drifted to the Cthulhu totem carpet in the corner.
Xiaodou detected a mixture of ancient Chinese scorpion crimson and interstellar neurotoxin in the soup, and the elemental shields on her fingertips automatically deployed. She feigned choking and spilled the soup onto the carpet. The toxins caused the totem to display the words "Sweet Devouring Plan: Stage 2" in a bubble.
"Auntie, you have a good trick." Xiaodou crushed the soup bowl, and the fragments turned into steampunk gears. The gears were reassembled into a miniature detoxification device, transforming the toxins into dancing elemental elves.
Tweety screamed and backed away, a Cthulhu tentacle hair ornament falling from her hair. The tentacles wrapped around Xiaodou's cheongsam, but were burned to ashes by the fragments of the mechanical heart. The fragments lit up red and projected the mechanical cat's emergency communication:
"Warning! The ancient story's aunt is actually a member of Cthulhu's family. Her goal: to seize Xiaodou's sweet energy!"
"Catch the assassin!" Auntie's roar echoed from outside. Wearing energy earrings, she led the group to smash open the door, and poison needles wrapped in tentacles flew out of her sleeves. Xiaodou swung out the soft whip from the martial arts chapter, but the tip of the whip transformed into a laser beam from the interstellar chapter, melting the poison needles into molten iron.
"Try my cross-volume prescription!" She gnawed on the energy earrings, and her stomach vomited out the anti-hair loss spray from the campus chapter. The spray reacted with the toxin, exploding into pink smoke, and a holographic subtitle "Allergy Curing" appeared in the smoke.
The aunt's gown was dyed pink, and her energy earrings short-circuited, spewing foxfire from the demon world chapter, setting the curtains ablaze. Young Marquis Lin seized the opportunity to draw his sword (actually made of iron wing scales). The "Guardian No. 006" pattern on the blade illuminated, splitting the Cthulhu bubble text trap beneath the floor.
A portal for the mechanical cat appeared beneath the floor, and the scent of disinfectant from the modern era wafted through it. Xiaodou picked up the fragment of the teleported "Rat Fear Treatment Diary," which contained a photo of Lin Shen and the mechanical cat. On the back of the photo was written:
"Experiment 147: Young Marquis Lin's allergies share the same origin with the Cthulhu tentacle curse. Xiaodou's sweet energy is the only antidote."
Young Marquis Lin moved closer to take a look, and the memory of being entangled by Cthulhu's tentacles in his childhood suddenly flashed back to him - the one who saved him at that time was an elemental rat wearing a straw hat, with a "red bean" rune on the center of its paw.
"So..." He stroked Xiaodou's ear, "You have never forgotten the promise made fourteen generations ago."
Mechanical heart gears suddenly appeared on the pattern of Xiaodou's cheongsam, forming a "001+Xiaodou" energy matrix with the jade pendant of Young Marquis Lin. In the center of the matrix, a blurred picture of the intersection of reality and the fourteenth volume was reflected: in the modern chapter, Lin Shen was dragged into the abyss by tentacles, but threw the mechanical heart fragments to Xiaodou.
End-of-Chapter Hooks and Visual Spectacle
- Visual memory points:
Xiaodou's cheongsam transformed into a rainbow-colored data stream in the energy matrix, revealing the elemental rat form underneath. The claw heart rune overlapped with the location of the rash on Young Marquis Lin, forming a light and shadow totem of "sweet detoxification."
- Foreshadowing breaks out:
Taking advantage of the chaos, the aunt swallowed the Cthulhu slime crystals, and her body swelled up into a "sweet slime monster". Fragments of marriage certificates from various worlds floated in the slime, and the signature of "Lin Shen" on the fragments exuded black energy.
- Emotional tension:
Young Marquis Lin ignored his allergies and protected Xiaodou behind him. The red light of the jade pendant and her runes intertwined to form a light shield of "L·S + Xiaodou". "This time, it's my turn to guard you."
Xiaodou gnawed on the remaining pages of the diary and spat out the holographic words "Reality Wait for Me", mixed with the heartbeat frequency of Lin Shen in the modern chapter.
