Night falls, bar.

Sersi and Dane were having a great time on the dance floor, both of them looked particularly excited under the dim lights.

Ling Ge didn't like this noisy environment very much, so he just sat at the bar and drank alone, looking for Spike from time to time.

This is not easy. That girl is truly immortal and must have used illusion to get in. Everyone could be her in disguise.

At this moment he heard a particularly familiar voice, and turning his head he saw a girl who was having a friendly conversation with a young man.

"Spike!" Ling Ge walked over and greeted her, "Long time no see!"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said with a smile: "Long time no see, why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here? Is this your business?" Ling Ge said playfully, "Okay, no more jokes, Dane invited me here."

"Him?" Spike looked at Dane who was having a great time on the dance floor and asked doubtfully, "Does he know someone like you?"

“Just met him today.

Not a surprise, not an unexpected surprise. "

“It’s an accident, but forget about the surprise!

I don’t know whether it’s a blessing or a curse for that guy to know you.” Spike said lightly.

“Well…it should be a blessing!

At least so far, my friends are doing well.”

"Haha!" Spike rolled his eyes and continued chatting and laughing with the boy opposite him.

However, when the boy suggested dancing, his right hand went straight through Spike's left hand, which was the light golden illusion outlined by the illusion, and pressed on the table.

"What happened? Your hand?"

"You've obviously had too much to drink."

Spike nodded nervously, "I did drink a lot. I should go now."

After saying that, she stood up and walked outside.

But after walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and looked at Ling Ge hesitantly, "Come out with me for a moment, I have something to talk to you about."

"This is really strange!" Ling Ge did not refuse and followed Spike out.

In the corridor, Spike put away her illusion and changed back to her original appearance, a little girl less than 1.5 meters tall who was over 7,000 years old.

"It still looks better this way. Even though she's not as pretty as the transformed girl, she's at least more realistic."

Spike silently glanced at Sersi who was celebrating Dane's birthday in the private room, with a hint of envy in her eyes, and asked: "More than two thousand years ago, you said there was a way to make me grow up, I wonder..."

"Oh!" Ling Ge suddenly realized, "So this is your purpose!"

"What else?" Spike asked bluntly, "Come on, can you help me?"

"I can't solve this problem." Ling Ge said, "But..."

Spike's eyes were already filled with deep disappointment, but when she heard the word "but", she cheered up again.

Seven thousand years of life experience taught her that once the word "but" appears in a sentence, the previous words can be ignored.

"But what?" Spike asked anxiously.

“But my sister should be able to help you. Her ability is that as long as there is physical contact, she can absorb the superpowers of others, even the Eternals.

but..."

Before Spike could be happy, the word "but" made her heart skip a beat.

“However, you can only grow when there is physical contact, and with your current ten-year-old body, it will take a long time for you to grow into an adult. This is not something that can be solved in ten or eight years.

After all, my sister can't be with you all the time. If you take out two hours a day, the time can be multiplied ten times.

That means it will take you about a hundred years to grow into the form you just transformed into."

After hearing this, Spike fell silent.

She has been waiting for seven thousand years. A hundred years is nothing to her, but it is a lot to ordinary humans...

After a while, she raised her head and asked, "Is your sister an immortal like you?"

"What are you thinking? Do you really think that long life is a common thing?" Ling Ge said with some pride, "There are very few people who can live over a hundred years old.

But I have a way to extend her life. As long as she is not killed by anyone, she can live forever."

"Really?" Spike was overjoyed. As long as Ling Ge's sister didn't die, she could use her superpowers to make her grow up.

There won't be so many restrictions on this time, so it won't be a problem even if it's a few hundred years longer.

"Of course it's true." Ling Ge said unhappily, "I remember I said thousands of years ago that this is a long process, so you should be mentally prepared!"

"Did you tell me that?" Spike scratched his head. "I have almost forgotten what happened thousands of years ago. It's amazing that you still remember it."

"Tsk!" Ling Ge curled his lips. To the Eternals, it was thousands of years, but to him it was just what happened yesterday. If he had forgotten everything, then his memory would not be much better than that of a fish.

"Well, can I go see her now?" Spike said nervously, "Although your method has a high chance of success, I'm still a little worried before we actually try it out."

"Sorry, not right now, the little rascal is busy learning (magic)!

Besides, I still have things to do. You don’t really think I came here just to attend this birthday party, do you? ".

864. Complex views on love, sudden appearance of mutants

"You came to see us?" Spike frowned, "But why?

Including this time, we have only met three times in the past seven thousand years. I really can't think of any reason for you to come to us."

"Well... let's wait for Sersi to come out! Otherwise we'll have to go through it again later."

Spike rolled her eyes. "You'll have to wait a little longer. She and Dane are in the middle of a passionate relationship. They make me feel like a light bulb every day."

"This is normal, and it's basically the same for most couples." Ling Ge shrugged, expressed some sympathy for Spike, an older single woman who had never been in a relationship, and then took out a book from the Earth Library and began to read it silently.

Meanwhile, Dane has his birthday party and wears a medieval ring with his family crest as a gift from his girlfriend.

"So, have you ever thought about living together?"

"Yes." Serxi was suddenly at a loss, and then said insincerely: "I have thought about it, I can't move in with you."

Dane had expected this. "I thought you would say that."

"sorry."

"I think I know why." Dane hesitated for a moment, "I used to think you were a wizard because unusual things often happened around you.

For example, if the waiter ignores us, water will turn into coffee.”

"That's because you're addicted to caffeine."

"Spike will also leak things, like you and your ex-boyfriend broke up a century ago, and he can fly."

"He's a pilot." Serhiy explained. As for why they broke up a century ago, she had no intention of explaining. It was normal for Spike to speak in an exaggerated manner given her childish image.

Dane smiled slightly and continued, "But I met someone new today. He said he prefers to call you an alchemist who can turn decay into magic."

Sexi's expression changed slightly, "Who spread this rumor?"

“Um…he said his name is Ling Ge and he’s your old friend.

I bought him a cup of coffee, and he reciprocated by telling me that I was an alchemist.

But he only told me this much, and he said you would tell me the rest sooner or later."

"call..."

Serhi let out a long breath and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Yes, that's right, I'm an alchemist, and alchemy is actually a branch of magic.

But Dane, I need to remind you that my relationship with Ling Ge is not that good. I have only met him twice in total.

So, promise me that you won't believe anything he says in the future, okay?"

"Ah, this..." Dane nodded, "I see."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Ling Ge suddenly clapped his hands at the corner of the stairs, "That's great, how did the trust between people disappear?

But it’s true, if you have to choose between your girlfriend you’ve been dating for a while and a stranger like me, 99% of people will choose their girlfriend. "

"Stop standing there and laughing at us." Serxi said angrily, "We haven't been in touch for a long time, how did you find me?

Don't tell me it was just a whim. No one would believe such nonsense if you happened to see it on the street."

“Um…I have some official business I want to discuss with you, it might be quite important.

This matter is not suitable for ordinary people to know, so I'm sorry that it may take up a few minutes of Sersi's 'Alchemist' time." Ling Ge said, and then winked at Spike standing beside him: If you want to grow up, just cooperate with me.

Spike rolled his eyes at him and looked at Sersi, “It’s time to get a room.

Can we go now? It’s almost time for me to go to bed.”

...

A few minutes later, the four split into two groups and walked along the street by the lake.

Dane was walking alone in front, with Lingge, Sersi and Spike walking behind him, less than ten meters apart.

"What else did you tell Dane?" Sersi asked Ling Ge with a bitter and resentful look on her face.

"I only told him about your abilities, and didn't mention anything about your age and lifespan." Ling Ge glanced at Spike and said, "Instead of doubting me, you should think about Spike!

She did reveal that you and Ikaris broke up a century ago, but who can guarantee that she only revealed this?"

"Spike?" Serhi looked at her suspiciously. "Tell me the truth. What else did you say?"

"Uh... no more." Spike said angrily, "Besides, didn't Dane believe it?"

"But the problem is that he may have already suspected me. You all know the truth that three people make a tiger."

"I think if you really like him, you should tell him the truth," Spike said.

"I'll look for opportunities."

Dane, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you want some pizza?"

"No, thank you," Spike and Circe said in unison.

"I want one." Ling Ge raised his right hand in a very unpleasant way, "It just so happens that I didn't have dinner tonight."

Snapped!

Serxi slapped Lingge's right hand away and then glared at him fiercely.

"Okay! Three servings." Ling Ge shouted to Dane, then looked at the two of them, "Just tell me if you want to eat! What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Serhi rolled her eyes, while Spike covered her mouth and chuckled unkindly.

At this moment, several ripples suddenly appeared on the water surface, followed by a strange roar.

A mutant several meters tall slowly crawled out of the lake behind Dane, its eyes searching around for something.

"Damn! Are those mutants?" Spike said in horror.

"Well, actually, this is why I came to you." Ling Ge said, "But now it seems a little late. The mutants are moving a little faster than I thought."

But Serhi ran straight to her boyfriend, "Dane, run."

However, the mutant did not swallow Dane, the food that was so close to him, but jumped in front of Sersi.

Serhi immediately touched the ground lightly, and the golden light quickly spread. The ground under the mutants' feet turned into a quicksand pit, and it sank rapidly.

However, this mutant can move not only its limbs, but also the dozens of tentacles on its body.

The tentacles stabbed the wall, stopped it from sinking, and slowly pulled it up.

Serhi also noticed this and immediately changed the geological structure, replacing the quicksand with solid cement, temporarily sealing the mutants' limbs.

Dane was stunned as he watched from the side. It took him a few seconds to react and he leaned against the wall to get past the mutant.

"Circe?"

"Let's go." Sersi pulled Dane up and ran in the opposite direction.

Ling Ge silently glanced at the driver on his waist, hesitated for a moment, and then ran with the others.

Because this mutant is very different from those encountered thousands of years ago. Not only can it run on all fours, it can also walk upright.
