Weird Stories: Gothic Lolita Begins

On the way, Lucia finally asked Hongfeng the question that she had been thinking about for a long time, seemingly casually: "It's like this, your body has grown so big, is there enough nutrients in the ground?"

"I am a monster, not an ordinary plant." Hongfeng explained, "If ordinary plants grow to this size, it will be difficult to support their own weight alone."

"...That's right." Lucia nodded convincedly.

...

When a group of people and non-humans were about to arrive at the Western-style villa built on the sea, Lenari, who was standing on Apophi's left shoulder, suddenly stopped looking around with his eyes.

"Wangbao woke up." Lenari leaned over and said to Lucia, who was squatting on the other shoulder of Apophi.

Hearing this, the energetic black cat, who was also looking around and leisurely admiring the unique and beautiful scenery of Maple Island, paused and said in a surprised tone:

"That guy is finally willing to get up?"

"Obviously, he is really tired this time." Lenari spread his wings and said, "Do you want to bring him here?"

Lucia thought about it and said, "Forget it... This 'wonder' is the body of Red Maple. If Wang Bao accidentally takes a few bites, it will be a bad ending..."

Lenari nodded: "Then we will meet again next time."

At this time, Red Maple, who was walking in front and leading the way, turned back and explained:

"In fact, there are many creatures that build nests on my body. Those little guys who lack intelligence will occasionally take a few bites of leaves and rhizomes. I don't mind..."

"No, no, no, Wang Bao, it's better to mind it!" Lucia shook her head hurriedly, and Lenari nodded again and again.

"?" Red Maple slowly showed a not very obvious puzzled expression.

"Wang Bao is a high-level ghost story with a true self. The name of the ghost story is 'house-destroying dog', and he attacks almost all 'buildings'." Lucia explained, "The terrible thing is that 'garden landscape' is also within his special attack range..."

Lenari then added: "For most ghost stories like Wang Bao who have their own self, the core rules are an important part of their 'nature'. Even if the subject consciously and tries his best to restrain himself, he will often break the spell inadvertently... You don't want your tree crown to be trimmed into the shape of a dog's head without paying attention."

"..." Hong Feng blinked and tried to simulate the scene in his mind.

After a moment, he found that he lacked enough imagination after living for more than 80,000 years but had hardly seen a living tree demon.

So, his expression gradually became blank.

"Ahem!" Lenari cleared his throat in a pretentious manner and asked Hongfeng, "After the 'moving', do you have any ideas about the 'guardian' sent by Guanghui to replace you?"

Hongfeng was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "My idea?"

"Yes, your idea." Lenari nodded in affirmation, "Anyway, it's easy for Guanghui to pinch a critical mortal... You can feel free to make your request boldly."

Seemingly feeling that the tone and content of these words were too "disrespectful to the gods", Lenari, who was dressed as "Night Crow No. 2", said as a remedy: "Well, this is also the instructions of my Lord."

On the side, Lucia turned around again nimbly, further lying on Apophi's shoulder, trying to bury her face in her two front paws.

Perhaps influenced by this, Frederick, who was originally walking at the end with an expressionless face, had a tendency to lift the corners of his mouth uncontrollably. ——For this reason, Frederick, who looks like a delicate boy but is actually more than a thousand years old, had to slightly raise his head and force himself to study the bright red "sky" that covered the sky above his head.

On the other hand, Apophis, who served as a human-shaped vehicle, seemed to have been accustomed to it. He was calm from beginning to end, as calm as he could be. ——Only at this time, Frederick could not help but envy the super-class "body temperer" for his almost absolute control over every muscle and every nerve.

Frederick actually knew the weird nature of Apophis. After all, they had been together for too long, and Lucia could never keep secrets from "her own people".

However, Apophis was really too much like a "human", whether it was the body, soul, or ability system.

——In fact, Frederick really did conduct an evolutionary route test on Apophis with his consent, and the test results showed that Apophis was a "person" who practiced the three routes of "magician", "body temperer" and "blood alien".
