Chapter 198.
Chapter 198 – The Sun is Bright
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the bad weather that was so bad before seemed to be just a distant dream, with only the water stains still remaining on the window sill and the wet ground on the street proving that a heavy rain had indeed fallen late last night – and this bright sunny day after the rain had cleared up seemed to be just right for a good snooze at home.
But Shirley had slept enough; she had never slept so long in one breath, and she was a little hungry, which urged her to get up quickly.
For lying in bed hungry was a not very pleasant memory for her – when she was much younger she had slept through the hungriest of nights, and if it hadn’t been for Dog’s wakefulness and support she might have left this world one cold and hungry winter night.
It was one of Shirley’s valuable life lessons that when hunger crossed a certain threshold, one could brush up against death in one’s sleep.
She left the soft, comfortable bed and got up to change her clothes, and just then a light footstep came through the door just in time.
“Sherry! Are you awake? I heard a commotion!”
It was Nina’s voice.
Shirley was stunned for a moment and hurriedly agreed, “I’m awake.”
The door was pushed open and Nina, dressed in a white shirt and short jacket with a light brown plaid skirt, appeared in the doorway, she saw Sherry, who had just changed her clothes, at a glance, a smile appeared on her face, then she walked over again with a quick step, “You really slept for a long time! How are you feeling now? Does your back still hurt? How’s the wound …… let me see let me see ……”
“The exertion was a bit heavy, so I slept for a long time …… I’m fine, really,” Shirley squirmed a bit to avoid the overly enthusiastic Nina, but her usual strength and resistance in front of Nina seemed to be powerless, and in the end, she obediently twisted her body, let Nina check their back and arm injuries, “are just small injuries, I …… recovery ability is very strong, and …… hey, so itchy ah, you don’t…. . itch haha ……”
“Really all healed hey!” Nina finally let go of Shirley who had already begun to jump to the side to dodge, she looked at her friend with a face of amazement, as if she was observing some rare creature, “Yesterday night time is still so big a wound, now not only disappeared, even a scar did not remain …… How did you do it? ”
“Didn’t I say it, I’m symbiotic with the Profound Demon, and Dog’s characteristics are a strong body and regenerative ability,” Sherry straightened her dress – the dress she wore yesterday had been destroyed in the battle, and this one on her at the moment was another piece of clothing brought from home. old dress, which was one of the only belongings she had salvaged after that attack, “Actually, my regeneration ability could have been a bit stronger, but Dog said I was malnourished and my regeneration ability was discounted ……”
“Then you need to eat well here, Uncle’s handiwork is so good right now,” Nina said immediately, followed by a bit of curiosity, “Well …… all the ones like you… …I mean, are all the people who are symbiotic with the Profound Demon this powerful?”
“It specifically depends on what kind of demon one is symbiotic with – with the Profound Hound it brings toughness and regeneration, as well as a certain strengthening of perception, with the Dread Demon regeneration it’s willpower and resistance to mental contamination, in addition to all sorts of demons, I can’t really tell you …… Anyway, the symbiotes of the Phantom Demons are the transcendents with the most messed up abilities, and those demons have always been very generous to their symbiotes in order to be able to operate in the reality dimension ……”
Speaking of this Shirley suddenly paused, her expression became serious as she looked into Nina’s eyes, “Speaking of which, I suggest that you don’t get too in touch with things in this realm …… You should already know that, the ones who normally symbiote with the Profound Demons those are the madmen of the Sect of Annihilation, they’re not the same as me , and their demons aren’t the same as Dog either.”
“I know, I know, I’m not a child,” Nina hurriedly waved her hand, but it was still hard to hide her curiosity, “But have you ever seen any other demon symbionts? I mean the Annihilation Believers ……”
“Haven’t seen them, don’t want to see them either, it’s disgusting enough to hear Dog describe them, and if I saw them I’d definitely beat them s…… up and report them to the magistrates,” Sherry said, frowning, “Nina you have a lot of questions today …… You didn’t even ask this many questions when you saw Dog before, plus you don’t have to go to school today?”
“You’re going to live in my house for a long time from now on, so of course I need to know more about you, but I heard from my uncle that your house was destroyed by a gas explosion, so there’s no place to go in the future ……” Nina said with a serious face, and as she did so, she pulled Shirley’s hand and headed out the door. “Besides school is on vacation ah, almost two months of vacation, don’t you know?”
“How would I know, I didn’t go to school ……” Sherry muttered subconsciously, being tugged out of the door by Nina in the direction of the kitchen where the aroma of food was wafting in, she noticed that the entire second floor was quiet, and couldn’t help but be a little curious, and “Mr. Duncan isn’t here?”
“Uncle went to the first floor, said he had to entertain someone, let us eat on the second floor first,” Nina explained, she pulled Shirley to the door of the kitchen, but immediately after that, she seemed to remember something, and hurriedly pulled Shirley in the direction of the lavatory again, “ah yes, wash your hands, you have to wash your hands before you eat, or else uncle again should read about it again.”
“Oh …… oh.” Shirley was sparsely pulled around by Nina, not sure if it was because she was hungry or because she had slept for too long, she felt groggy, but …… this feeling seemed to be good as well. At the same time, next to the counter on the first floor of the antique store, Duncan was meticulously explaining something to the person across from him, and sitting across from him was a demure and beautiful looking young lady wearing a delicate and elegant long dress, a fine lattice veil, and long blonde hair.
The dignified and beautiful blonde lady(x)
It’s Alice who wears a wig (√)
“…… That’s pretty much it, there’s a very, very large amount of common sense to know about living in a human society, but the most basic parts you figure out will be fine, it’s enough for your current range of activities, and there’s very little you have to do in this store, just familiarize yourself with the simplest things first, like Cleaning and organizing the shelves,” Duncan finally finished handing out the things he had to pay attention to here, but still looked uneasily at the young blonde girl in front of him who was sitting upright, “Do you remember everything you were taught on the ship before …… as well? ”
“Remember remember!” Alice hurriedly nodded her head vigorously, but just after two nods she seemed to remember something and hurriedly reduced the amplitude of her nod, nodding slightly in a very dignified and elegant posture, “Don’t worry about it, I remember it clearly!”
“Yes, the nodding should be small, it seems at least this you remembered.” Duncan exhaled, his gaze sweeping over Alice immediately afterward, confirming various details again.
A blonde wig had been used to cover the original long silver hair, slight make-up had been applied to adjust the details in her features, a veil had been used to block the lower half of her face, long white gloves of silk weave had been worn on her hands, and a neck ring with lace trim had been worn specifically to hide the details of her particular joints.
Basically, all the parts that could be camouflaged were camouflaged.
Of course, if a person who really knew the Frost Queen Lei Nora extremely well was standing here, or a person who had personally observed the Anomaly 099 up close was in front of her, I’m afraid that she would still be able to tell from the details of her eyebrows and eyes that this “blonde girl” had a suspicious appearance, but the probability of this could almost be ignored.
The Frost Queen is already half a century ago, close contact with Anomaly 099 is almost impossible to still be alive.
The general public, even the Church’s guardians, would certainly not recognize Alice as the out-of-control cursed doll at this moment.
Duncan couldn’t help but sigh softly again in his heart.
In fact, he originally intended to wait a while before letting Alice come to the human city-state “to see the world”, plans to leave a few more days for this doll on the ship to make up for the lessons, but could not resist this guy idly lying on the side of the ship to look into the distance of the mournful appearance and idly muttering and chanting, he still put this time ahead of the time a little bit.
Only within the scope of his ability, he still gave this guy emergency general knowledge, the most basic “normal outlook” instilled in her, estimated that …… should be enough to use.
The first thing I’d like to say is that I don’t know what to do.
Now Nina and Shirley are having dinner upstairs, he grabbed a timing to let Ai send the doll from the ship to the store to familiarize themselves with the environment, the first thing Alice did when she arrived here was to touch and look around curiously, and it took a lot of effort for him to “hold” this guy down next to the counter, but even so, he could still see that this doll’s But even so, he could tell that the mannequin’s attention was hardly focused on his own lectures.
She was looking around again, sitting as still as she could, but there was no hiding the darting of her eyes and the movement of her neck.
The dignified and elegant sitting posture and idle eyes together, Duncan can only say that it is worthy of being Alice – elegance and simplicity are two states that can appear in a person in an iterative state at the same time ……
And after some looking around, her attention finally returned to Duncan, with an undisguised concern and …… curiosity in her gaze.
