Chapter 184.2
His eyes fell on the scale he had grabbed, and he found that at the other end of the scale was a figure covered in a cloak that had appeared at some point.
The figure was hovering In the water, its small, thin, and dry hands stretching out from the cloak to pull at the scale. They were grabbing them so hard that they were turning red from the force.
The small, cloaked figure bent over and held on with all its strength, trying with all its might to snatch the scale for itself.
The seawater swirled around the two of them, and as they pulled, the hood that covered the little head slipped off, revealing a blonde-haired, blue-eyed face.
The eyes were emerald green, and the hair was a golden shade that was brighter than the sun.
The thick hair was in spiral curls and tied into two ponytails.
Bai Lixin froze and let go.
The little blond girl obviously expected Bai Lixin to let go, and her body rolled back several times before she could stabilize herself.
She was clearly in the water, but it was as if she were standing on the ground, bracing herself against the non-existent ground, and standing up.
As she straightened her cloak, she glared at Bai Lixin in front of her.
The little girl was very delicate-looking, and her blond hair and blue eyes looked like those of standard dolls in the mall, but her face was a little pale.
She rubbed her buttocks that hurt from the fall and carefully hid the scale inside her cloak before putting her hand at her waist and pointing at Bai Lixin, angrily saying, “You bad person, why did you try to rob my mother’s scale?”
Bai Lixin: “???”
The question in his eyes was.
Mother?
When did Miss Xihai have a daughter?
According to the plot, she had come of age last year and would be nineteen this year.
The little girl in front of him looked eight or nine years old, so she couldn’t be Miss Xihai’s daughter by any stretch of the imagination.
Bai Lixin opened his mouth, wanting to ask her a question, but only a pile of bubbles came out of it.
He froze and looked at the little girl again.
Only then did he realize that although this little girl was also in the sea, she not only looked like she was walking on the ground, she was even speaking with ease.
He subconsciously glanced toward the bottom of the little girl’s cloak. Although it was wide, he could still see two straight trouser legs and a pair of delicate little leather shoes.
There was no doubt that the little girl’s body before him was that of a normal human.
Bai Lixin stared at the little girl’s face in thought.
The fact that she could grab something from him meant that she was not a phantom but a real being like him. If she could speak normally in the water, was she a marine creature like the sea monster?
A thought flashed through Bai Lixin’s mind as he looked at the black cloak the little girl was wearing and remembered the black figure they had seen on the stairs earlier.
And the two figures gradually overlapped into one.
Judging from the size, this little girl in front of him should be the black shadow they just saw.
When the little girl saw that Bai Lixin didn’t say anything, she stomped her feet, snorted, and started climbing toward the surface.
There was clearly no ladder in front of her, but she climbed up as if there were one in front of her.
Bai Lixin tried to get closer and leaned forward subconsciously.
But just as he was about to get close to the little girl, a huge force suddenly pulled at his arm, and he was pulled away before he could react.
The silver-haired wizard pulled Bai Lixin and looked at him with a gloomy face. Bai Lixin looked at his shoulders and arms and touched his hair, all were dry. It was as if the little girl was a hallucination.
Bai Lixin looked up at the silver-haired wizard and asked uncertainly, “Did you see a little blonde girl in the bathtub?”
“You were caught in an illusion,” the silver-haired wizard’s pupils flashed with a hint of worry, “We are inside the house, but this room is too close to the fog. It might be that a bit of fog entered the room itself, or it could be that you were already under an illusion before we walked in.”
“The bathtub was normal, but you’d been leaning in since a while ago. You’d have broken your neck if you’d leaned any further.”
“Illusion?” Bai Lixin swept his eyes towards the bathtub, and the scales that had been inside a moment ago were gone.
It couldn’t be an Illusion.
He had been on Eternal Diamond Mountain for fifty years and would cross the rope and illusions from ten thousand feet in the air. He now knew those illusions like the back of his hand, and that scene just now was definitely not an illusion.
In other words, the space distortion could even deceive Dijia.
Who the hell was that little girl just now?
Was there such a person in the fairy tale world?
[There is no such a person.] The escape system said guiltily and took the initiative to give the “answers” to the confusion. [I just looked through all the records, and there is no such a person; who knows where she came from?]
Bai Lixin: [……]
Then why open your mouth?
Don’t you fear getting embarrassed?
Bai Lixin muttered in a low voice: “This rubbish system… bugs every day… should blow it up.”
Escape System: [……]
The silver-haired wizard was confused, “What did you say?”
Bai Lixin: “Oh, nothing.”
In the live broadcast room
[Rubbish system, even God Xin has to curse when he sees it.]
[Look at how wronged our God Xin is, a rubbish system with bugs every day. God Xin will never be able to touch a normal copy in this life.]
[I thought this time cage copy was an exception.]
[The probability of God Xin encountering a normal copy is lower than the probability of us encountering a bugged copy.]
[Even a dog will cry when it hears you say that.]
[I’m laughing my ass off. Hearing you say that, both the dog and God Xin are silent.]
[Dog: Are you being polite?]
[Politeness: Are you God Xin?]
[Dog: Bad luck]
[I don’t think that was an illusion. If it was an illusion, we shouldn’t have been able to see it.]
[You’re right, it’s not an illusion. I guessed it wasn’t an illusion by the look on God Xin’s face.]
[If it’s not an illusion, then this little girl is really evil and scary. Suddenly appearing, suddenly talking, and suddenly disappearing.]
[Is this the little girl who appeared in the tavern five days ago looking for her mother?]
[Huh, it seems to be true! She looked evil that night; even the little spider above the tavern boss was immobilized. And the tavern boss had amnesia afterward and didn’t remember anything about her.]
[Could she be the intruder?]
[Wow, you’re quite capable!]
[Yes, that makes sense!]
[Damn it, the night the girl appeared in the tavern, God Xin was taken away by a sea monster, and the silver-haired wizard stood by the sea for a while. Neither of them knows about this little girl’s abilities or this matter. Ahhhhhh, why doesn’t this game have off-field assistance?! I so want to stick my mouth to God Xin’s ear and tell him the right answer!]
[Calm down, good brother! Did you forget that we still have an evil dragon yet to come out? If you tell him the correct answer right now, our enjoyment will be cut by three points.]
[Hey, I suddenly realized that I don’t want to tell God Xin the right answer anymore.]
[Beast.]
[Livestock.]
[Scum.]
[…]
The basement was clean; the walls didn’t have vicious hooks, and the floor didn’t have traces of blood, which made Bai Lixin and Dijia doubt the truth of the rumors.
After searching the basement in vain, the two men went to the second floor.
There were three rooms on the second floor: Mr. Xihai’s study, two bedrooms, and a common bathroom.
The wardrobes in both bedrooms were partly filled with Mrs. Xihai’s clothes, which looked expensive and flamboyant at first glance, but closer inspection revealed that the materials were very cheap.
There are only a few of Mr. Xihai’s clothes, and although each of them looked a little old, the tailoring was carefully done, and the clothes were of good quality.
There was a jewelry box on the dresser, Bai Lixin looked at it and saw there were only a few pieces of quality jewelry in the box, but most of them were fakes.
A “rich man” who had fallen on hard times and a “rich woman” who was wearing fancy clothes and jewelry for appearances.
He had asked around about what people thought of the Xihais, and the word “Mrs. Xihai” was often envied. Because Mr. Xihai went out all year and did not live at home, most of the evaluations he got were “busy, capable, responsible, and a gentleman,” while those of Mrs. Xihai were mostly envious: “married well, enjoying happiness, beautiful, and elegant.”
What you see may not be true, let alone what you hear by word of mouth.
After searching the second floor, the two went to the third floor.
There were three rooms on the third floor, which were divided among the three daughters in the family.
The two daughters Mrs. Xihai brought were younger, and Miss Xihai was of middle school age.
Miss Xihai’s room was at the furthest end, and as they advanced, the silver-haired wizard held up his magic wand, always standing in front of Bai Lixin.
All three rooms were looked at, and the sizes of the rooms were similar, except that Miss Xihai’s room was a little more shabby, both in terms of decoration and furnishings.
The other two daughters’ rooms were decorated with beautiful displays, but the desk in Miss Xihai’s room only had a family portrait.
Bai Lixin walked into the room, picked up the family portrait on the desk, and looked at it.
One didn’t need to guess that the ones in the middle of the group photo were Mr and Mr. Xihai, while the youngest daughter stood in front of the two of them, and Miss Xihai and the other daughter stood next to Mr. and Mrs. Xihai.
Bai Lixin’s gaze fell on the timid girl next to Mr. Xihai.
She had dark red hair, her face was a little pale, and her eyes were heavy with dark circles and had little color in them. The cheeks were sunken, and the body was thin.
It was not clear whether she was ill or overworked.
In the lower right-hand corner is the date when the photograph was taken, which, if he were to speculate, was more than a year ago.
At that time, Miss Xihai was almost eighteen years old and had not yet differentiated into a mermaid.
He looked around the desk and found a photo album on the right side of the bookshelf. He pulled a stool from the side, pulled out the album, and slowly sat down to look through it.
The photos were partly of Miss Xihai, from her childhood to the present.
She was smiling in almost all of the photos. Her eyes were curved, and two small tiger teeth could be seen when she smiled.
As Bai Lixin flipped through the photos, his fingers suddenly trembled, and he stopped in the middle of the page.
It was a personal photograph of Miss Xihai sitting in a tree. She was holding a bouquet, and the sunlight fell on her face through the dappled leaves.
But it wasn’t Miss Xihai who made Bai Lixin stop moving, it was the grass behind her.
In the grass behind her was a small human face with golden hair, emerald eyes, and a round face—wasn’t it the little girl he had just seen in the seawater?
The grass was a bit far away from the trees, so if you didn’t look closely, you wouldn’t be able to tell that there was a head there.
The little girl’s emerald eyes were staring straight at Miss Xihai in the distance, and her face was unreadable.
But there was a problem.
Bai Lixin’s eyes deepened as he stared at the little girl’s face.
The age of the little girl in the photo was similar to what he had just seen, she was also eight or nine years old.
But the Miss Xihai in the photo was only fourteen years old ……
Bai Lixin pulled the corner of the silver-haired wizard’s coat beside him and pointed towards the photo, asking, “Have you ever seen this little girl?”
The silver-haired wizard lowered his head and looked toward the picture, asking, “Miss Xihai? I’ve only seen a picture of her, I’ve never seen her in person.”
Bai Lixin: “Not Miss Xihai, the ……”
His words came to a screeching halt.
Bai Lixin lowered his eyes and stared at the picture.
The little girl’s face in the grass had now disappeared.
The silver-haired wizard also noticed Bai Lixin’s abnormality, and he put his hand on his forehead and said, “You seem to have a fever; did you see another hallucination? Why don’t we go back and return when you’re better.”
Bai Lixin gently brushed off the silver-haired wizard’s words: “Don’t worry, it should be the aftermath of the hallucination from earlier. I’ll get better after a short rest.”
“But we’re already here, we’ll go back when we’ve investigated all the rooms.”
He stared at the photo album once again, and after a pause, he said, “I’ll take this back with me and study it again.”
That was definitely not a hallucination, the little girl had just appeared in the photo, how could she suddenly disappear again?
The silver-haired wizard accepted Bai Lixin’s little request, “Of course, what else do you want?”
‘Even if it’s a star in the sky, I’ll pick it for you.’
Bai Lixin looked at the silver-haired wizard and slowly lowered his head.
He might not be able to agree with what he was thinking; it was a little wild.
Shy.jpg.
In the live broadcast room.
[Silver-haired wizard with a serious face: Tell me what you want, and I’ll say yes to all of it].
[God Xin: I want all of you guys.]
[Silver-haired wizard: Never!]
[Hahaha, is it time for another brain-building minute?]
[So the question is, where did the little girl go?]
[Well, it looks like God Xin has noticed something unusual about the little girl. So his next step must be to put his focus on the little girl.]
[The girl is a ghost, so even God Xin would have a hard time catching her.]
[But isn’t there a chance that the little girl is just a bug? The girl has not been a threat up to now; she’s just been in the scene a lot.]
[You might be right. There’s even the possibility that she’s an intruder who’s created something to interfere with God Xin’s judgment.]
[Wow, so this intruder’s IQ is too high, right?]
[Well, who knows! When God Xin is live, we don’t have to use our heads!]
[Who is like me, who only wants to watch God Xin’s live streams to be a licking dog and see God Xin and his love for the ages?]
[Silently raising my wolf paw.]
[I’d like to see God Xin counterattack. I’m looking for inspiration, I’ve almost forgotten how to clear copies ever since God Xin disappeared two or so years ago.]
