Chapter 07 Chapter 7
Under the sun, a silver starship like a giant cosmic creature slowly stopped above a dilapidated shop. With two slight mechanical sounds, a black wall of light quickly descended, covering the entire shop.
People outside can't see anything.
Ansius's body was fierce and huge. He bent over and walked into the cramped room. Suddenly, he paused and looked at the emperor who was sitting among a pile of monster prosthetic limbs and horns.
Carl, who followed closely behind, had a pale face. Although he couldn't understand why the emperor appeared, he still bowed instinctively. Unexpectedly, Ansius on the side swung his claws at the noble figure!
"Your Highness! No..."
There was absolutely no time to stop it.
Suddenly, the sound of a leather case breaking was heard in the air.
The leather case turned into powder, revealing the old man with a white beard inside. He chuckled and said, "It's boring. You found it out again!"
“……”Karl was very scared and speechless!
Most people cannot see through the Sna people wearing humanoid suits, but Prince Anxius is different. When he was young, he had developed the skill of seeing through the disguise of creatures at the training base - let alone the Sna people, even if aliens turned into human forms and mixed into Sna, he could see the other party's true form at a glance.
The white-bearded old man Bruer in front of him is a famous humanoid suit designer in the black market... and Ansius' grandfather.
Only with this identity can one dare to joke with his grandson while wearing the emperor's suit.
Bruer was born into a royal family, but he had a stubborn temper. After his partner died fifty years ago, he left the power center of the capital, lived here incognito and worked as a leather case designer, refusing to return to the royal family no matter what.
At this time, Karl saw that Ansius would not go berserk again, so he quietly stepped back and let the grandfather and grandson reminisce about the past.
In the dim room, Bruer turned and walked to the piles of prosthetic limbs. He rummaged for a long time before he took out a box from a pile of leather cases and threw it back with force.
Anxius raised his hand to catch it instantly, and his sharp claws easily pried open the box and put on the leather suit.
"Since you can still recognize people now, it's not as serious as they say." Bruer coughed, tidied up his dirty chair, turned around and nestled in it comfortably. He looked at the human-shaped grandson in front of him and commented with satisfaction, "Not bad, the size is just right."
Ansius's figure was equally tall, and he was meticulously dressed in a neat and formal black suit. Under his messy hair, the man had deep features, a high nose bridge, and an icy gaze that made him look like a machine that could start a battle at any time.
This is a handsome face that remains indifferent when facing his relatives.
Bruer knew his character and laughed, "Antheus, you get angry in front of a fake person, so how will you be when facing your father? You can't do this."
“…”
"It seems that my previous guess was correct. It was indeed because of betrayal."
“…”
Ansius obviously had nothing to say to him. His thin lips, which could only speak absolute commands, remained silent. After waving his arm to test the comfort of the holster, he turned around and walked out steadily.
The long staircase leading to the starship was two stories high. Ansius stepped up the stairs step by step. When he was about to enter the entrance of the starship, he suddenly stopped moving.
An almost inaudible faint laugh was heard in the air.
Someone said, "Yumi... yes... that's it..."
Anxius rolled his eyes and looked towards the glass window across the street.
The small figure stood in front of the illuminated black curtain. The lamb horns on his head were almost glowing under the white light. He swayed in different postures. I don't know what the photographer said, but he suddenly changed his serious expression and laughed at the camera with his eyes curved.
The golden pupils trembled.
Found it.
"...Your Highness Ansius, what's wrong with you?" Seeing the figure standing motionless on the ladder, Karl asked in confusion.
He certainly had no idea what Antheus had seen.
Behind the glass window, in the black market doll shop, the little lamb monster wearing different pretty or handsome clothes and taking different poses for photos, has no so-called horns at all!!!
That's not a Sna star.
It's a petite human with a perfect human body!
…
Yumi was really scared today.
The first time he was startled was because of the huge starship that suddenly appeared above the black market, and the second time was because of the sudden and loud noise from the starship that lasted for a while.
At that time, not only him, but even Vera, who didn't care about the starship, changed her expression. Everyone thought someone was causing trouble, and they all took out their defensive weapons...
It was not until a long time later when the starship left with a loud noise that everyone finally let go of their worries.
In the evening, Yumi got off work as usual. He made an appointment with Lin En to have dinner together and went to a noodle restaurant with a good reputation.
After Yumi got horns, he almost never wore a mask. When Lin En asked him about it, he cleverly explained that he paid for a minor surgery to correct the flaw, changing the monster's flaw from its mouth to its head!
Many Sna people would undergo such surgery, some because the location of the flaw is inconvenient for human movement, and some just for the sake of beauty.
After listening to him, Lin En felt that Yumi had both qualities. He stared at his horns for a long time and said, "Excellent work!"
Lin En was sincere, he really liked Yumi's monster horns.
Just like now, while waiting for the noodle soup, Lin En couldn't help but keep praising his horns: "This flaw is really a great change! It fits your human form very well! You look like the sheep elf in the movie now!"
Yumi was very happy to hear that, and after dinner she went shopping in the supermarket with Lin En again.
After wearing the horns, Yumi gradually became braver in facing these monsters.
This time he chose to walk around the supermarket like the Sna people, but his body was still too small, and it was difficult for him to stand on tiptoe to buy items on the shelves. Many times, Lin En helped him take down the items he wanted.
People were coming and going in the supermarket. As Yumi was walking, he suddenly felt someone was looking at him. He looked back in confusion.
In the aisle, the tall Sna people walked back and forth, and there were indeed some curious children staring back at them.
Yumi continued to shop in the supermarket.
After a while, the familiar feeling came back and he felt like someone was looking at him again!
I turned around and there was no one behind me.
Lin En asked him, "Mimi, what's wrong with you?"
Yumi scratched his head: "It's okay..."
He felt that he might have been frightened by the noise while working during the day, so he was always jumpy... He should go back and have a good sleep.
But the next day, that feeling came back again.
That morning, Yumi had no filming work and had nothing to do, so he pushed his cart to the nearby area to pick up junk and recycle waste.
Houses in the capital are too expensive. If you want to buy a small house of your own, you still have to work hard to save money.
Yumi went to a nearby square, where he could often pick up defective mechanical raw materials that the Sna people didn't want, and these could be sold to the scrap yard.
Those machines were huge. Yumi put the cart away first, rolled up her sleeves and went over to pick up a steel pipe. When she tried her best to turn around, she was stunned.
The originally empty cart was now filled with the most expensive raw material.
What happened?!
He put down the steel pipe in astonishment and ran over. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be his cart.
"Who?" Yumi looked around. "...Who dropped it?"
An old lady who was cleaning shop doors nearby glanced at him and said lovingly, "I saw someone threw it in. It must be unwanted waste. Just take it."
Yumi couldn't believe it: "No...really?"
The old lady glanced at it and smiled, "Just sell it without worry. Look, it says 'junk' on it."
Yumi looked carefully and found that there were indeed some labels saying "junk" and "discard" in the corners.
But he couldn't push the cart with so many raw materials. He had never been able to fill up the cart when he went out to collect scraps before...
He had no choice but to turn on his computer and call the owner of the scrap yard.
When the other party heard that he had picked up a large amount of mechanical raw materials, he happily asked him to wait where he was, and soon drove over to personally inspect and take them away.
Yumi stood there, looking at the incoming star coins in a daze.
There were still nearly two hours before lunch time, and Yumi couldn't sit still, so she pushed the cart to recycle the dolls' old clothes.
Dolls are not alive and will not sweat or get sick. The clothes they wear are naturally not dirty and are even made of very good fabrics. Most of the time, they are thrown away because the styles are outdated or the children don’t like them.
Yumi would occasionally come to buy back the men's doll clothes at a low price. If they didn't fit, he would personally alter the size so that they looked like new.
This is one of Yumi’s money saving tips.
This time, on the way to the residential area to recycle the dolls' old clothes, Yumi felt that strange gaze again.
But every time I look back, there is nothing.
With his heart in turmoil, he walked to a villa and this time he only took back a piece of old doll's clothes and left.
On the way back, the sky suddenly became gloomy. Yumi was pushing the cart alone on the wide road, walking faster and faster. When she reached an uphill slope, that feeling came back again!
Not only the feeling, but also the sound can be heard!
It's footsteps!
Yumi turned around slowly.
“…”
Right behind him, a huge monster with hideous demon horns, blade-like wings, black scales all over its body, walking upright, was staring at him with its eyes lowered.
It turns out... it wasn't the sky that was cloudy, but the monster in the sky that blocked the sun.
His back quickly felt cold, and his body seemed to be trembling... In the face of devastating danger, little Yumi was unable to move for a few seconds. When he came to his senses, he immediately reached for the alarm bracelet.
He failed to press it.
The huge monster that frightened him did move and raised its claws, but it did not move towards him. Instead, it reached back and took down a backpack.
The monster hurriedly took out one exquisite new doll clothing after another, without even unpacking the packaging. His eyes were impatient, but his movements were careful. He stuffed all the new clothes into his cart!
Until the pile was higher than Yumi.
“???” Yumi looked at him stupidly.
The big one and the small one both stood there motionless.
As if sensing Yumi's physiological fear, the monster suddenly took a step back, quickly retracted its sharp claws, and even folded its wings behind its back.
Yumi could see that he meant no harm.
This monster has no human form, but is a disabled Sna alien.
Although the fear did not come from the other party's disability, Yumi was afraid that his reaction would hurt this unfortunate monster. He used all his strength to straighten his body and asked, "Are these all unwanted? But they are very new, what a pity. Do you make doll clothes? Are you clearing out your inventory? But I buy used clothes at a very low price."
The creature stared at him and shook his head.
Yumi had no choice but to take out a small notebook and write down the number of clothes as usual, then open the computer to transfer the money to him.
The monster still shook his head.
Yumi thought he thought it was too little, so he immediately added another 100 star coins. He said, "Actually, this price is still a big loss. It would be better for you to sell it in the second-hand market."
The monster suddenly leaned over, staring at him with its sharp golden pupils, then lowered its head... and sniffed his horned head.
Yumi was almost frightened and he stood still almost at attention.
Suddenly, he heard the monster speak: "Yumi."
!!!
"How...how do you know my name?!"
