I will never give in to Miss Death

"Yes, she ran down in such a hurry for some reason."

Ouyang Xue pointed to my skirt pocket and said, "The basement was renovated last night, and most of the major lines were cut off. The main switch should not be usable right now. Turn on the light on your phone and go down. Don't trip."

"it is good."

After leaving the utility room, I came to the small warehouse behind the cat living area of ​​the cafe based on my memory of that day and found the "secret entrance to the basement".

I followed Ouyang Xue's example and found the switch, pressed it, and with the buzzing sound of the door opening, I stepped onto the small stairs leading to the basement.

By the way, will this staircase be overhauled? Or build a formal staircase next to the main entrance? Or build an elevator? Otherwise, such a small corridor can't be used directly for guests to walk, right? It's not like there's some underground activity going on...

Walking down the stairs to the basement, the light around me was getting dimmer and dimmer. Just as I was about to take out my cell phone from my skirt pocket, I remembered the "angel halo" on my wrist.

Oh, right.

According to the angel, this thing seems to be able to be used as a lighting device.

I stretched out my right hand, fumbled around my wrist, and took out the angel halo.

Suddenly, the dim basement was illuminated by the light of the halo.

Wow……

I didn’t feel anything before when I was outside in the sunlight, but now that I’m in such a dark place, I realize… this halo is so bright.

Its holy light should also be "adaptive", the darker the environment, the stronger the light.

It's really convenient to look at it this way.

When you are not in use, you can put it on your wrist, the halo will "adaptively" shrink and then stop emitting light. It has no contact with the surface of the skin, and it also has built-in magnetic attraction and following effects. It is about the size of an ordinary bracelet. I don't feel it at all in my daily activities. If I don't reach out to touch it, I wouldn't even know there is a small bracelet here. Moreover, this bracelet will automatically become larger and brighter when you take it out, and it will automatically fix when you put it on the top of your head and automatically track the owner. It is really a magic artifact for outdoor adventures.

Imagine if I were that kind of... outdoor anchor, or that kind of curiosity anchor, and I went to a place far away from the city at night, and accidentally bumped into a cemetery while walking, and it was too dark, so I took out the halo and put it on my head, and I would be a big light bulb, which was so cool.

I don't know whether the holy light of this halo can harm undead monsters.

In the bright holy light, I placed the light bulb that Gabriel gave me on top of my head.

"Philo? Xiaofei? Feifei?"

Just as Ouyang Xue said, because of the renovation last night, there was no light on the basement floor, and I, wearing an angel halo, became the only source of light here.

However, when I opened the door of the basement and stood in the open space near the entrance, I did not see Philo's shadow.

not here?

I lowered my head and picked up a bottle of spray paint on the ground.

You can feel that this place has been under renovation recently. It's a mess, and someone has spray-painted a line of crooked "Cyberpunk" on the ground.

In the cabinet not far away are many keyboards and mice with yellow as the main color.

"Noel?"

Then, I heard Philo's voice coming from a small room not far away: "Have you met that flat-chested angel?"

Turning around, I saw the black dragon girl sticking half of her head out of the room over there: "Is she outside the house?"

"That's it."

I walked over and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm afraid she'll find out and tear down the cafe, and then I won't be able to have fun anymore."

Philo whispered, "That angel has a bad temper and is a complete charlatan. This world doesn't believe in angels, and I don't want to offend her."

"It's not that serious."

I joked, "Have you forgotten that Xiaomo is the god of death here? The angel doesn't dare to mess around. She is on the grass outside the coffee shop and said she wants to see you."

"Are you really here?"

Filo smiled bitterly: "Xiaomo, she didn't even help block it."

"Xiao Mo means that you two should meet and have a fight."

I thought about it and said, "Although I know that fighting is wrong, Xiaomo seems to have this attitude. She asked me to come over and tell you to get out."

“This is going to be difficult.”

As he spoke, as if he had noticed something, Philo looked me up and down for a while: "She even gave you the angel's blessing?"

“What is the angel’s blessing?”

I pointed to the halo above my head. “Is this the lighting device?”

"Angel's Blessing is a special magic that only angels can use, close to the level of forbidden spells."

Filo seemed to organize his words: "But this blessing doesn't take effect immediately. It... How can I explain it to you? I don't know if you can understand it. I've been wandering around outside these past few nights, and occasionally I'll watch others play games. Let me use games as an example. Some game characters have different attributes in different professions. For example, if you choose the elf race, your initial agility will be high, and if you choose a human warrior, your strength will be high."

I nodded: "I know about online games, just tell me directly."

"If we compare it to a game, the angel's blessing will increase your growth ability value. Specifically, it should be about 80%. At least that's how it feels in the other world. For example, the initial ability value of a character in the game is 50 points, with strength, wisdom, agility and luck all being 50 points. Then, when you level up, all attributes can be increased by 1 points, right? The angel's blessing is equivalent to strengthening this growth attribute to 10 points. Others can only add 18 points of attributes when they level up, but those who have been blessed can add 1 points. The gap becomes larger in the later stages."

Philo looked at me with a "Congratulations" expression: "I didn't expect that she would cast this blessing on you the first time she met you."

"It sounds so powerful."

I immediately thought of the various plots in novels about some incredible "growth-type" props: "Does everyone have one of these in the other world?"

"How is that possible? This is a pseudo-forbidden magic that can only be cast by archangels. Moreover, they have to wait at least a thousand years before they can cast it again. Since you have been in contact with Gabriel, you should know her personality. She is too old-fashioned."

Philo shook his head. "It's just a charlatan! Every day he talks about the gods, the father of the gods, atonement, judgment, may the gods forgive you, etc... My ears hurt just listening to it. I can't even talk properly."

"she……"

I remembered the excited look in Gabriel's eyes when she saw the cars and buildings when she came here: "She should be able to talk properly."

"Very rarely, most of the time they are just charlatans."

Philo walked out of the room: "I think it's a bit difficult to lure her here to work. It's basically equivalent to letting an angel of the archangel level of the Holy Heaven fall."

"Is there no other way?"

I thought for a moment: "For example, let her see the lights here."

As a first-tier city, Kamihama City still has a lot of light pollution.

Not to mention the main urban area, even in the basement of the coffee shop, I remember clearly when the electricity was turned on, the light pollution here made me almost excited just looking at it.

Breathing lights, marquees, lighting, music rhythms, twinkling stars, Dolby Vision, Dolby sound effects...

For some reason, I have a strong feeling that this angel lady will be reluctant to leave the earth when the time comes.

Anyway...whether I can get the 8000 yuan bonus depends on this wave.

If Ouyang Xue's bargaining skills are excellent, she might be able to get more bonuses.

"Forget it. It's a blessing or a curse. Since Xiaomo is here to help watch over me, I'd better go up and meet that guy."

Walking past me, Filo said with a sad face: "I just called her a flat-chested old lady. She didn't let me scold her or touch her small breasts. Is it my fault?"

"and many more."

I turned around and asked: "You still touch other people's breasts?"

"I mainly wanted to see how flat she was."

Philo said seriously, "She usually wears that little skirt, and you can't see the rise and fall at all. I want to try to see if it's the same as when I was a child."

"..."

After leaving the coffee shop with Philo and going to the lawn outside, I found Gabriel and Yin Xiamo who were waiting there.

"Hi, little angel."

Filo waved awkwardly: "Hello...long time no see."

"You finally came out."

Seeing Filo, Gabriel gnashed his teeth, and huge wings instantly burst out from behind him, and a golden two-handed sword appeared in his hand: "If I don't kill you today, the title of archangel..."

"Wait a minute."

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Yin Xiamo said, "What did I say just now? If you want to fight, enter the barrier and fight."

Afterwards, Yin Xiamo's eyes lit up with bright purple light, and her ears returned to their rare elf ears. She raised her hand on the lawn, and the world was instantly shrouded in darkness.

"Feng Jue!"

At this moment, the sky disappeared, the lawn disappeared, the coffee shop disappeared, and the whole world fell into chaos. We were also floating in the air, just like the area I entered when I "fought" with Xiaomo after touching catnip these days.

"I just randomly named this based on the anime of this world. It's not called Feng Jue, but as long as you know what it means, this is my barrier. You two can communicate properly."

As she spoke, Yin Xiamo took my hand and brought me to a space several hundred meters away from the two of us: "Okay, please."

"Xiao Mo."

I lowered my voice and said, "Philo said that the blessing Gabriel gave me was very strong and was half a forbidden spell. Is that true?"

"Its strength is indeed comparable to that of a forbidden spell. I originally planned to wait for you to get used to this body for another 100 or 200 years before I caught an angel from another world to add to it. I didn't expect Gabriel to release it on her own initiative."

Yin Xiamo turned around: "What's wrong?"

"Um……"

I thought about it and asked, “Has Xiaomo ever received similar blessings?”

"Yes, my blessing was also bestowed by Gabriel, more than 5,000 years ago."

"Eh? It's Gabriel too..."

I was dumbfounded, looking at Filo and Gabriel who were already in combat mode in the distance ahead: "Does Filo have a similar blessing?"

"Also."

Yin Xiamo seemed to be talking about something insignificant:

"It's been more than four thousand years, and it was also Gabriel who imposed it."

"..."

……

No. 249 Go crazy regardless of everything

This was probably the first time I entered Xiaomo’s “realm” or “barrier” in a sober state.

Anyway, I know nothing about magic, so this is probably the thing.

Although this is a "vacuum" world similar to outer space, I can still feel the flow of air, and sounds can be transmitted well, so it doesn't feel like pure "void".

Although my subconscious told me that I had been to such a "barrier" several times before, when I stepped into this void again, I still felt extremely fresh.

Nothing is more attractive to an author than "magic" and "barrier", not even a crispy shark.

Places like this can really inspire my endless creative inspiration - although in the current writing environment, "magic", "superpowers", "cyberpunk" and the like are not popular categories of novels, but I believe that no author can resist the feeling of "wanting to pick up a pen to write a magnificent epic literature."

Yes, that feeling, the pleasure.

As an author, the most uncomfortable thing is to run out of inspiration. What is even more uncomfortable than running out of inspiration is that when you run out of inspiration, you have to force yourself to write for the full attendance reward. The opposite of "running out of inspiration" is naturally "inspiration coming out".

Over time, when you are often faced with a lack of inspiration and feel uncomfortable, once inspiration comes, your brain will strangely have a kind of... pleasure like taking in catnip.

"Okay, if you two have any problems, just solve them here."

After carrying me to the air hundreds of meters away from Philo and Gabriel, Yin Xiamo waved at them and said, "Philo, don't lose to this angel lady. Show us your true abilities!"

"Don't underestimate me!"

In the distance, Filo, who was still wearing a maid outfit, stretched out her little hand, and the two big rabbits on her chest swayed slightly. Then, she pulled out a black and red spear from somewhere, and dragon horns grew on her head, and dragon wings spread out behind her.

“Swish, swish, swish…bang!”

After waving the spear a few times casually, he lifted his feet wrapped in white silk and kicked them in the air, catching the spear steadily in his hand. His eyes turned into the vertical pupils unique to the dragon race, and he pointed the spear at Gabriel: "Come on, flat-chested old lady."

"I'll help you."

Gabriel's left eyebrow twitched: "Milk King Monster."

The names you two gave each other were really... strange.

When I saw this, I couldn't help but complain in my heart.

"Are you all ready?"
