Chapter 37 Dad’s Takeaway
It’s a new week and a new beginning. My mother continued to post her travel experiences on WeChat Moments as if nothing had happened, and she was the one who conveyed some of our communications with the association.
It is said that after we opened the box left by our father, the association received a lot of messages from him. It was like a switch was turned on, and the messages he had left before were sent to the association in batches. The association, which originally had few people, became even busier.
He directly revealed all the cult strongholds and plans.
Even the 996 work schedule can’t be turned around.
Yu Huaiyue and Li Mingxi were also discharged from the hospital. They were also forced to work overtime, but for some reason they have become extremely unlucky recently. I heard that it was because they stepped on some magic circle set up by the cult members before. They have been busy getting rid of the bad luck recently. After all, as an investigator, if you are unlucky, you may die accidentally.
As for Xue Jin - he was so busy that he couldn't be found, and Yu Huaiyue was teaching all his classes this week.
Then after the last class on Friday, Veraer and I received a package, and we signed for it at the classroom door.
The sender is unknown - although it is undoubtedly my biological father, the recipient address is unexpected.
Although he is not here, he knows everything we do. This is probably the unique ability of ace investigators to predict the future.
But I don't know why I felt a bit overwhelmed looking at that box.
Thinking of my previous premonition about delivering the takeaway - I decided to go home with Villar first and then deal with this matter.
"Does Xiaoyu think I'm a nuisance?" Villar suddenly asked me as we walked down the street. "I talked to her mother and found out that Xiaoyu had been living an ordinary life before she met me."
I was a little silent. After I met Villar, I was actually thinking that my mission was about to begin, just like the prologue of an animated novel, so his question really stumped me.
"Not really. After all, it was quite exciting." I thought about it. I lived an ordinary life in this world for eighteen years without triggering any missions. Then I went to college and started fighting against the evil god. There were no tragic separations or injuries.
It sounds like the golden fingers are already fully utilized.
"Brother, don't think too much. You've been having a miserable life. Someone has to come and save you." I am telling the truth. If I hadn't come, the world would have been like this: beautiful, strong and miserable, dragging everyone down with him.
The real evil god brother.
Party A's world was furious.
But how desperate would Villar be at that time to take everyone down with him? This kind of background is not what he wants.
He is just an eighteen-year-old boy.
Love.
Maybe my expression was too loving, I felt his eyes were a little red, and then he hugged me.
...I suggest you let it go quickly. We haven't even left school yet. We'll have to go on the confession wall tomorrow, and then there will be a bunch of horrible female fan fiction writers about us.
After arriving home, I felt a little conflicted when looking at the palm-sized express package. Veral went to feed the cat. When I got home today, I found the circle floating at the door, which almost scared me to scream.
——The cow cat floating in the air with its legs upright and looking at you with a sacred expression is a bit too scary.
Then I found out that the cat food bowl was empty and the child was starving.
I'm a little worried that Quanquan will develop some strange abilities in the future because of hunger.
Then I opened the package and found it was a glass bottle with an eyeball inside.
I closed my eyes silently, then opened them again, not wanting to face this matter.
How did the courier company scan it?
When you say takeaway, you really mean takeaway?!
My dear father, you really trust me. If I couldn’t handle your two grown-up sons, I would have died here today!
Evil God, this is a genuine evil god, and you sent it in a glass bottle and a courier box, without even putting some foam or bubble wrap inside to prevent it from breaking?
As mentioned before, the evil god can only descend into the real world through a container, so although this eye is the evil god, it is not the evil god. A more accurate statement is that it is an anchor point, not the evil god's true body.
But it's pretty close.
This glass bottle is engraved with many marks. As long as I open it, the owner of this eyeball will come immediately.
If that’s the case, why not just keep it in this glass bottle so that there won’t be any problems with it coming?
Good question. Of course, it’s because this glass bottle has a shelf life, which is related to the engraving on it. The stronger the engraving, the longer it can be sealed, but the power of the engraving will always be exhausted.
I don't know when my father sealed this thing in, but judging by the energy fluctuations on it, there's only a month left before the engraving on it becomes useless.
Haha, what's the difference between this and sending me an atomic bomb?!
The Astronomy Department has a field trip class next month. Since we are short of manpower, Villar and I have been assigned the task. Since we are going to the outskirts of the Taklamakan Desert to conduct astronomical observations, let us also find a cult member who has fled there.
Before that, we have to get rid of this glass bottle, otherwise when we come back, our home may be gone.
If the evil god without a container descends, it will forcibly break the barriers of the world and everyone will be doomed.
I sighed.
As expected, this is my left eye, and my human left eye is about to leave me.
Is everything ok?
[No problem, host, don't worry.]
I looked at Villar who was feeding and petting the cat, and took out a prop.
"Time Stone (Dimensionality Reduced Version)", its ability is to solidify time. Due to the dimension reduction, it can only solidify inanimate objects, and can only solidify one object at a time. The evil god's anchor point can barely be considered an inanimate object.
If it wasn't possible to solidify only one item, I don't think I would have to do any quests. I could just use the Time Stone and kill everyone.
But now I use it for anchor points.
I fixed my eyes, then opened the glass bottle, and a huge impact blew...air into my face.
...It has a bit of a smell, like some stinky salted fish.
Veraer looked over, the Book of Omniscience blocking his view. I poured the glass bottle into my mouth.
"Xiaoyu???"
Verard only saw me open the Book of Omniscience, and then, whether it was intuition or something else, he quickly moved to my side.
I have already swallowed my eyeballs. They don't taste like anything and melt in my mouth... No, I can't think about it.
I showed him the glass bottle.
"Good news, father helped us deal with a big trouble."
"Bad news. I ate too much from the Book of Omniscience, and it fed back to me." I covered my chest with a heavy face, and did not forget to patch myself up.
Just now, the power of the "Time Stone" was lifted, and then in an instant, I felt my heart beat violently in my chest, and a sharp pain spread throughout my body, and then spread to my left eye.
I felt like my whole body was about to be crushed.
Why does it hurt so much…it hasn’t been like this before?
[…Ahem, before, in the Dream Realm, I used the protagonist's sliced body, which was much stronger. Now in reality, I'm an ordinary human, so of course it's different.]
...Why didn’t you say so earlier!
I watched Villar anxiously making a phone call. I wanted to say something, but I was in so much pain that I had no strength left.
But I guess it was a call to my mother.
That shouldn't be a big problem.
I don't know how long I was in pain, but when the pain finally subsided, I discovered I couldn't see out of my left eye.
Or maybe my vision has changed and I can no longer see the tangible things in reality.
What I saw on the left was the energy of the object, and I was horrified to find that the energy on Villar was so strong that it was like a big light bulb in the dark.
No wonder the evil gods always catch him!
There was another ordinary energy ball, and I turned around and saw my mother with my right eye.
My mother was talking on the phone with a glass bottle in her hand. I was half lying on the sofa with Veral sitting next to me. It was so bright that I couldn't ignore him even if I wanted to.
"Baby, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?" My biological mother sat down and asked me. I noticed that there were two runes written on the back of my hand. They must have been written by my biological mother.
I guess it's some kind of treatment.
That’s right, if the father is good at engraving, there is no reason why the mother would not be good at it. It’s passed down from generation to generation.
I only have my brother, and he relies entirely on his innate fighting ability.
I shook my head. My dad's takeout was too strong. Did he trust me too much, or did he just want his son to die sooner?
Later, my biological mother gave me a series of tests and let me go after finding nothing wrong, but I always felt that she had begun to doubt me.
In fact, I am not sure whether Villar has doubts or not. After all, we watched the drama together. The fact that I am also a container is said very vaguely, but it does not mean that it cannot be seen.
If Verar knew I was also a vessel, he would have guessed I was lying before - thanks again to his lack of brains.
"Xiaoyu didn't let the book absorb it, but absorbed it herself, right?"
He asked me calmly after my biological mother passed away.
Wait a moment--
Wait a moment----
Why did you guess?!
I was confused, but I kept a straight face. What if this guy was cheating me?
He sat down next to me and hugged me gently. "I won't tell Mother. If Xiaoyu thinks this is the right thing to do, it's okay if she doesn't tell me."
"I will protect Xiaoyu."
Ah...that's what he thought.
He trusts me completely and believes everything I do is right.
To be honest, I used to think Villar was easy to guess, but today I suddenly felt that I couldn’t figure him out.
So, is this why my father trusts me so much?
I'm suddenly unsure what the final outcome will be.
The time for astronomical observation came very quickly. In fact, we shouldn’t have gone in winter because it was too cold there - but since it was impossible for a group of students to actually enter the Taklamakan Desert, everyone just moved around the periphery.
Moreover, the school does not expect these freshmen to be able to observe anything, so it is more like an outdoor teaching experience.
The teacher leading the team was named Wu, and there was also a local guide who was a Uyghur. However, he was not like an ordinary person, and his energy was somewhat dazzling in the crowd.
The guide's name is Xiahafu, which means star, and it stands out particularly in the evil god text.
"You are not allowed to act alone. You can only move within the designated area. Our guides will keep an eye on you." After reading a lot of precautions, Teacher Wu emphasized that you can only move within the camp.
But Villar and I still have a mission to accomplish.
The two of us are going to look for someone.
Fortunately, according to the information provided by the association, the cult member did not run fearlessly into the desert, but ran to a nearby village.
It happened to be Xiahafu's village, but I had a bad feeling.
The fourth stage mission had not been completed yet. After absorbing the eyeball that day, the mission progress increased to 85%.
The clue of "Lin Tao's Box" clearly comes from Cupid, and the meaning is also Psyche's box, but after opening it, it looks like Pandora's box.
The moment I opened it, I made different choices.
What happens if I don't open it?
I shook my head. Now is not the time to think about these things. Veral and I have to go find someone.
So late at night, after everyone was asleep, Veraer and I snuck out of the room where we were staying.
Then he was caught red-handed by Xia Hafu.
Villar and I: "..."
Is this plot development wrong???
