The Final Story of Miss Weird
Page 89
In other words, in fighting against cognitive confusion, Cen Xiangyun spends a lot of money, Luman spends a lot of time, and Elsa spends her life.
And Luo Ling...
He is considered a European emperor.
"I was born with the ability to recognize the realm of nothingness and walk in it. No wonder people are scrambling to get it everywhere..."
Cen Xiangyun muttered in a low voice, her resentful eyes almost piercing through Luo Ling.
Until now, she is still wailing about her precarious year-end bonus.
"It's so sour, Miss Cen," said Lu Manqing, who was on the upper bunk, with a smile, "Did you drink too much vinegar when you came here? Why is it so sour?"
"No!"
Cen Xiangyun's cheeks turned red and even felt a little hot.
She thought she was angry, but the gossipy Miss Lu didn't think so.
Seeing Cen Xiangyun so anxious, Lu Manqing's eyes rolled around, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes narrowed into a crescent shape.
"From what I see, it's not that someone wants Miss Luo Ling to be in his arms, it's that someone himself wants to be in someone else's arms! He wants to replace little Elsa!"
You two can quarrel even if you want, but why does it have anything to do with me?
Luo Ling's brows twitched slightly, and he felt that the petite body lying in his arms shrank a little more.
Elsa! You must be awake!
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I still have something to tell you." Cen Xiangyun patted her cheek, trying to get rid of these inappropriate things from her mind, and continued, "After arriving in Victoria, there are some things you need to pay attention to.
"First, you cannot use anything that is beyond the current era, including electronic products such as mobile phones. Lu Manqing, you have to change your clothes too!"
"Ah?" Lu Manqing was slightly stunned, "Is this nothing?"
She liked this dress so much that she kept wearing it even in Jiangcheng County and never changed it.
There's no special reason, I just like it.
"Haha, I'll change it if I tell you to." Cen Xiangyun sneered, "Don't talk nonsense."
"You are taking revenge!"
"Haha, no."
"hehe."
The two of them stared at each other and sneered.
"So, why is that?"
Luo Ling couldn't help but speak up. These two sisters seemed more unreliable than the other. It seemed that the company might as well give the information to her and let her act as the guide.
"It's mainly to prevent unnecessary information from leaking out, which can cause cognitive confusion. It's the same reason why we couldn't reveal any information about Victoria in Jiangcheng County."
When it comes to Luo Ling, Cen Xiangyun's explanation is much more patient.
"Second, you can reveal the identity of the awakened to ordinary people, but you can only use Victoria's name, such as "psychic detective", "alchemist", "psychic", etc. These are the awakened that exist in the cognition of ordinary people. As for the specific situation, you can figure it out by yourselves when the time comes."
In other words, the awakened people and the weirdness are replaced by a mysterious thing that the public can barely accept, in order to combat cognitive errors.
This was a last resort in Victoria where strange events occurred frequently. Even so, there were a lot of mentally ill people in Victoria.
"The last point is also the most important one." Cen Xiangyun's expression suddenly became serious. "You must not enter a hatchery alone without reporting it. Even if it is just a weird hatchery at the back of the sequence, it is not allowed.
"In Victoria, strange hatcheries are quite common. So common that...even if you go out for a visit, you may pass by a few hatchery ruins."
This is of course for the sake of safety. Any rule is built up with countless lives. Even though Luo Ling was not too worried, he still nodded.
She is certainly not afraid of ordinary weird hatches, but if she really encounters one of the same level, or even a "taboo" one...
Even Luo Ling would be in danger.
You cannot think that you are very powerful and then arrogantly stir up trouble everywhere. Artists and scientists have died from this kind of arrogance.
The lessons of the past are not far away, and we must not repeat the same mistakes.
"Well, it's not that dangerous actually. Putting that aside, Victoria has a lot to recommend it as the heyday of the company."
Cen Xiangyun's tone was a little more relaxed, and there was some yearning in her eyes.
"Because strange events happen frequently, there are a lot of resources. Because the time is so far away, there are a lot of things we haven't seen. Most importantly, my favorite opera was very popular in that era! Hehe, I will definitely be a big star there!"
"...After joining the company, do I still need to find a job for myself?" Luo Ling's eyelids trembled slightly.
"In theory, it is necessary. After all, the company's existence cannot be exposed. You also need an identity known to ordinary people, because the company's commissions often require dealing with ordinary people."
Cen Xiangyun said, "Of course, if you feel comfortable being a vagrant...it's actually not a big problem. Most vagrants of your age, who are girls, in Victoria are..."
Cen Xiangyun didn't continue talking, but Luo Ling could probably guess what it was, and he suddenly felt a chill.
She would never pursue such an identity.
"So it seems that I also need an identity. Can the company help me get it?" Lu Manqing asked, leaning his head out.
"No, you have to find a way yourself!" Cen Xiangyun looked up and said viciously.
"Revenge, you are taking revenge!"
"hehe."
"By the way, can I be a student?" Luo Ling thought for a moment and asked, "I'm actually still a senior high school student. I was supposed to take the college entrance examination next year..."
As a result of this incident, I don’t even have to take the college entrance examination.
Three years of preparation in vain.
"Of course you can, but you need a middle-class family to afford the school. The company can provide the funds, but... you don't have a family, right?" Cen Xiangyun said this and suddenly realized something was wrong. She quickly covered her mouth, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss Luo Ling..."
She almost forgot that Sister Su Wan, who raised Miss Luo Ling, unfortunately died in the previous battle.
"It's okay. Actually, I came from an orphanage."
Luo Ling had let go of this matter and waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
"Ah, in that case." Lu Manqing, who was on the upper bunk, suddenly clapped her hands, "But I have an idea, Miss Luo Ling."
"Huh? Let's hear it."
Luo Ling raised his head.
"Look, you lack a family, and I lack an identity, so how about we just do this." Lu Manqing said excitedly, "I'll be your mother! And Elsa too!"
"In this way, we can pretend to be the rich wife whose husband cheated on her and left her with nothing, divorced and with two kids!"
Chapter 2 Dealing with the "White Witch" Incident
Lu Manqing's face was full of anticipation, while Cen Xiangyun's face was full of frowns.
When Luo Ling first heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he stroked his chin, pretending to be in deep thought, and said,
"In this case, there is no problem with the identity, and it is more convenient since they are all acquaintances... Anyway, there is no shortage of funds, and there is no need to find a job or other identity to cover it up."
"Hey, you actually considered such an outrageous setting!"
Cen Xiangyun couldn't help but speak out.
"But it makes sense, doesn't it?"
Luo Ling looked up and said, her serious look made Cen Xiangyun feel unable to refute.
If you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem so... outrageous.
Wait, I can't let these guys with problematic brain circuits lead me astray...
"Don't look at me like this. I have disguised myself as a warlord's wife before. I was only sixteen years old at that time! That's the age that Miss Luo Ling is now!"
Lu Manqing became more and more excited. He took out a palm-sized notebook and a fountain pen from his pocket and started writing furiously.
"Wait a moment, I'll write the setting right away, it will be absolutely perfect! By the way, why don't you come along as well, Ms. Cen, and just treat her as a lover who has been abandoned. Hiss, based on this relationship, we can create a long story of love, hate and vengeance!"
"Remember to help me fill in the gaps as a student."
Luo Ling reminded her from the side, she was still thinking about the three years of high school she had wasted.
"..."
Cen Xiangyun was silent for a while, then held her forehead and sighed,
"Don't drag me into this mess, you psychopaths..."
Of course, she didn't need to worry about her identity. Her family had deep roots in Victoria and was known as the "new aristocracy" at that time, holding considerable power.
The discussion about identity was just a joke in our spare time. In fact, it didn’t matter even if we didn’t have an identity that allowed us to gain a foothold in Victoria. In that chaotic era, there were many undocumented people.
The three-day and three-night journey passed quickly. When the darkness outside the train gradually faded away, replaced by diffuse gray fog and the Baroque buildings looming in the gray fog, Luo Ling finally felt like he was in another era.
After getting off the train, Luo Ling suddenly discovered that even the train they were riding on had undergone huge changes in appearance.
When I got on the train in Jiangcheng County, it was a rather inconspicuous ordinary train, but when I got off, it turned into a steam locomotive with a very modern feel, with a long English label on it.
"East India... Company?"
Luo Ling read it out, but was a little confused.
Of course she knew this historically famous super company. Although the history of Jiangcheng County was somewhat different from that of Victoria, they were almost the same in many aspects.
However, Luo Ling had seen the contract that Cen Xiangyun had given her before, and the full name of the company on it was not this.
"Yes, this is the headquarters of the 'company.'" As if knowing what Luo Ling was wondering about, Cen Xiangyun replied, "The 'Huaxing International Limited Company' I worked for before was just a branch of the company in that area."
"I see."
Luo Ling nodded, then turned his gaze away from the train and looked into the distance.
Completely different from the station in Jiangcheng County, this Victorian station was obviously much more magnificent, and the dazzling array of classical buildings reminded her all the time that this was no longer the familiar era.
Even though this is just a train station, it looks like an art palace.
Although Cen Xiangyun had already obtained information about Victoria from Li Shaoheng before coming here, when she was actually here, she couldn't help but look around.
After all, the text information written in the archives cannot compare to what you have experienced in person.
"Ms. Cen and everyone else have been waiting for a long time."
Just as everyone was looking around curiously, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie with a moustache came up to them.
With his deep eye sockets, tall hooked nose, and slightly curled shoulder-length hair, he looks like a character who walked out of a history textbook.
He showed the token on his wrist to Cen Xiangyun, then smiled and greeted the others.
"Welcome to Victoria, the heyday of the company. My name is Enoch Edwards, the company's HR, and I'm here to pick you up. If possible, I hope you can just call me 'Enoch', you're welcome."
Enoch still spoke fluent Chinese, and his elegant and gentlemanly demeanor reminded Luo Ling of the artist who died in his hands.
By the way, it seems that the artist is a local of Victoria...
"The carriage has been prepared for you ladies. It may be a little bumpy, so I hope you can get used to it."
Enoch stood with his hands behind his back, making way. A carriage was waiting in front of the train station, and the driver was smoking a pipe, looking at something boredly.
but...
Luo Ling was a little puzzled as to why the train station was so empty. There seemed to be no one else there and the surroundings were too quiet.
But soon, after stepping out of the iron gate of the train station, she knew the answer.
Countless chaotic noises suddenly came from all directions, and even the deserted train station next to it had some human figures.
"This is Platform 9 3/4." Enoch said with a proper smile, answering the unspoken doubts of several people.
Means of transportation that can cross boundaries are extremely valuable even within the company. The "Spirit Walker" that was finally captured in the previous battle with scientists has been included in the company's secret collection.
Of course, the corresponding points rewards have been distributed to the people who participated in the battle. When Li Shaoheng knew that Luo Ling was still alive, he also left the share that Luo Ling deserved to her, but on the premise that she could finally join the company.
"This era..."
Luo Ling looked up and witnessed this "history" that should only be seen in books.
In the gray fog that limited the city's vision, pedestrians in coarse cloth clothes were walking around. There were also some uniformed personnel patrolling along the way, and a slightly tense atmosphere filled the air.
Some of them noticed Luo Ling and the others, but their gazes quickly dispersed, and even their low conversations with each other were a little more cautious.
Before leaving the train, Luo Ling and others had already changed into clothes for this era.
