Chapter 111: The Following Is Wrong, the Difference Between Reality and Reality
After returning home, Suzu and Hitamaru's moods improved and stabilized.
The main reason was that they saw Rita cooking in the kitchen, and they were really embarrassed to cry in front of Rita.
Although Rita has grown up and looks mature and charming, in the eyes of many people, she is still the little girl she was a few years ago.
No matter how uncomfortable they feel, adults rarely cry in front of children to save face.
The moonlight at midnight is hazy and the stars are blurred.
Warm and bright lights squeezed the charming night out of the window. In the living room, an old record player full of traces of history and time slowly played melodious and soft classical piano music, and the jasmine brewed by Sakura exuded The fresh and elegant tea fragrance gives people a relaxed and comfortable feeling.
At the dining table, Sakura was enjoying supper with her two younger sisters. Ling's power had grown a lot. She could actually restore herself to her original appearance. The fox ears and nine big tails on her head had completely disappeared. Just looking at her appearance, She looks like an ordinary high school girl who is still in school.
After gaining new abilities, Ling's nine big tails are thick and long. When gathered together, they can be used as an extra-large double bed. If it cannot be "folded", Ling's future life may be quite inconvenient. Wearing normal clothes and Pants are troublesome.
Ling used the power of erosion to erode the form and concept of his own objective existence, and turned into a normal person. This change is much more "advanced" than Honkaiju's transformation. Ling can change back and forth anytime and anywhere. He can also transform into other people, even into real giant foxes, birds and beasts.
And they are all real, not illusions.
"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping? Are there no classes tomorrow?" Wutong walked to Rita's side and poured himself a glass of absinthe.
Rita was wearing an elegant and sexy traditional maid outfit, but she was not wearing her usual white stockings. She was humming some piano music while cooking, and seemed to be in a very good mood.
Looking at the ingredients and the preparation process, Rita probably made bouillabaisse, so she didn't mind the trouble at such a late hour.
She didn't prepare the dish for Suzu and Hitamaru. Rita originally planned to cook it for herself. She was hungry. Suzuki and Hitamaru were just lucky enough to catch it and taste it.
Rita didn't know where the two adults had gone or why they looked like they had cried.
Could it be that he was bullied by Mr. Wutong?
"Hitamaru-sama is still so cute, I really want to hold him in my arms and bully him."
Despite her young age, Rita has a heart that is "rebellious" and "rebellious". This is true for Lord Hitamamaru, and even more so for Lord Kirin, Lord Kirin, and Lord Kanxing.
Rita particularly wanted to see Mr. Stargazer look shy and annoyed.
"I really want to tease the majestic Stargazer!"
Of course, Rita only dared to think about it in her heart. She had never behaved inappropriately, so even Stargazer didn't know about her "transgressive" thoughts.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
In Stargazer's eyes, little Rita has always been a somewhat "bad" good child since she was a child.
"There are classes tomorrow, but... I don't want to go." Rita blinked, smiled, and replied in a playful and astringent tone, "I have finished the university courses, and I want to... in the near future... Graduating early~"
"Aren't you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"
"No, the knowledge in college is enough for me to use in the future. Even if it is not enough, it is not too late to learn more." Rita replied.
For ordinary people, diplomas and certificates are more important. They are a "stepping stone" to enter the society and even determine the height they can reach in the future. But for Rita, such things are dispensable. What she has learned knowledge is the most important.
Wutong took a sip of absinthe and said with a smile: "Being an obedient little maid is enough, but if you want to work next to Little Star Gazer, it seems that just relying on university knowledge is not enough."
Rita's movements in her hands paused, and the smile on her face froze. Then, her expression returned to normal, and she talked and laughed calmly: "What do you mean by this, sir? I want to work for Lord Sakura after graduation, and I have never thought about going to see you." Work beside Master Hoshi.”
"Haha, yes, it's good to work under Sakura. At least you can disguise yourself more perfectly so that others can't see your true intentions. Moreover, you can also legitimately observe and protect stargazing, or... Ji Lin?"
"The adults are joking, Rita didn't quite understand what you said." Rita said with a smile, "I want to improve my fighting ability and improve myself."
"Haha~"
In fact, Rita was a little panicked at the moment. She didn't know where she had exposed her flaw, and Master Wutong noticed it. She always thought that her "disguise" was perfect.
What if Mr. Wutong told Mr. Stargazing? The chances and possibilities of her wanting to do bad things are even smaller.
However, when Rita saw the vague smile on Wutong's face, she suddenly felt relieved. The adults probably wouldn't tell her about her hobbies and thoughts.
Rita knows Wutong's preferences very well, as well as "taste" in various senses. Adults like to have fun. How could adults tell such interesting things? Wouldn’t it be boring to say it out loud?
As expected, it is her honor to serve Mr. Wutong, because their hobbies, interests and interests are similar.
I don’t know whether Rita’s character is like this or whether she was influenced by Wutong.
After drinking and eating, Suzu and Hitamaru meet up by chance.
At the same time, I touched my slightly stretched belly with great satisfaction. The feeling of fullness made the two of them regain the feeling of being real and alive again.
How wonderful!
"Brother-in-law, can you help me see what this is?"
Ling leaned lazily on the back of the chair, touching her belly with one hand, and taking out the pale pink gemstone she had previously condensed with the other hand.
"The Herrscher's Core, what else could it be?" Wutong, who was leaning against the bar, held a wine glass and said nonchalantly.
"But...why do I feel that something about it doesn't look like it...?" As she said that, Ling suddenly realized something, and her face turned ugly. "Is it possible that the Herrscher of the erosion of civilization has arrived a long time ago?"
"Well, what's the problem?"
What is the problem? Ling was frightened for a while after hearing this. Her previous behavior was too dangerous. Not to mention whether it would be all in vain, if she was unlucky, her life might not be saved.
Fortunately! She is strong and lucky.
"Then which Herrscher does this beautiful and charming core belong to?" Rita on the side brushed the hair beside her ear and asked curiously.
This was also the first time she heard that the Herrscher of Corrosion had been born.
Who is it?
"Nature is the other side of the Herrscher of Corrosion..., the side of "real numbers". Wutong explained unhurriedly, "The erosion of the current civilization exists in an "illusory" way, but Ling is different. "
"How can a civilization have two Herrschers with the same power at the same time?"
"The powers are different." Wutong corrected, "Ling's power is exactly the opposite of the Herrscher of Corrosion in the current civilization. Of course, its essence is also "erosion". "
"Then why were two Herrschers of Corrosion born?" Rita was puzzled.
"Why can't it be born?" Wutong asked.
"..."
Rita was silent, how did she know? That's what it says in the book.
Wutong said with a smile: "Anything can happen in this world. It is not surprising that there are two Herrschers of Corrosion at the same time. In your opinion, this may not be possible. It is a 'miracle', but what humans call miracles" , it just stems from human ignorance.
"Don't think that the knowledge in your head is necessarily correct, let alone let your thinking and imagination be limited by the knowledge and truth you have mastered. In some cases, one plus one may not necessarily equal two.
"Oh, by the way, there may be another interesting thing you don't know. That is that not long ago, the newly born Herrscher of Star Flame was actually a single-core Herrscher, but he was able to use two Herrschers at the same time. the power of the person.”
"...Thank you for your guidance, sir. Rita has learned the lesson." Rita bowed deeply to Wutong.
After straightening up, Rita asked again: "Can I ask one last question, sir?"
"Can't."
"Thank you, then I asked." Rita seemed to have heard wrongly. She asked calmly, "Will there be fourteen Herrschers with different powers appearing?"
"Not necessarily. Under normal circumstances, the number of Herrschers is related to when the Herrscher of the End will come. If the Herrscher of the End is the first to come, then there will only be one Herrscher. If it is the hundredth There are one hundred Herrschers who have descended. Of course, this is not absolute, it may be more or less."
"Thank you for your answer, sir." Rita bowed again.
Wutong likes to see Rita bowing, and Sakura also likes to see it, but she doesn't want Wutong to see it.
At this time, Ling said: "Brother-in-law, aren't you afraid that I will die in that room?"
"Don't be afraid, you can't die as long as I'm here."
"Then...when did you discover my idea of becoming the Herrscher of Corrosion?"
"You have smuggled so much Honkai energy from the imaginary space. If I don't notice it, I might as well die. You don't think your behavior is very smart and covert, do you? You're a fantasy-loving weakling who is embarrassed, picks his feet and eats his fingers, and is mentally retarded. Pink-haired elementary school student lawyer."
"..."
The bunch of prefixes that Wutong said at the end sounded a bit familiar to Ling... Oh, that's right! More than 4,700 years ago, my brother-in-law said this about himself.
"You think I can make it?"
"Of course, no one can become another Herrscher of Corrosion except you."
"Then why don't you explain it to me clearly? It has caused me so much suffering." Ling said aggrievedly.
"Okay, I let you mess around and didn't tell us. I'll teach you a lesson and see if you dare again next time." Sakura tapped Ling's little nose, and then pinched her cheek.
"It's a good thing to be a little tough." Wutong said sarcastically, "If you continue to mess around, you will become a waste sooner or later."
"You are the loser!" Ling wrinkled her nose at Wutong.
Hitamaru was a little confused listening to the side. The little guy sighed and said: "Sister-in-law, eldest brother-in-law, why do I feel that the Herrschers of this civilization are so messed up?! It's the single-core Star Flame again, and it's the two corroded ...How could this happen?”
"Because this is an experiment done by some playboy." Sakura glanced at Wutong dissatisfied and said, "Okay, it's getting late, we should go and rest. Are you two exhausted?"
Sakura has long wanted to touch her sister's new tail, it must be very comfortable to lie on.
"No! Sister, I want to have a taste of bouillabaisse before resting." Hidamamaru, who has no eyesight, said coquettishly while holding a small spoon.
