Their commission was suspicious.

"The pancakes are here." Susanoo, acting as the waiter, brought Chen Luo the pancakes he had ordered.

Because this pancake was baked by Judah himself, rather than being made directly from raw stone without any soul, it took a little longer to bake.

The aroma of the baked pancakes immediately caught Abby's attention.

After Chen Luo reopened the bar restrictions, Abby quickly returned to her original demeanor and no longer gave off a strange impression. In particular, her expressions became more varied when she heard about pancakes.

"Eat it while it's hot," Chen Luo said, stroking Abi's hair.

After the restrictions were lifted, Abby returned to her original form. Although the keyhole on her head was still there, she no longer possessed the power to distort or even corrupt the minds of others.

It seems... the bar has welcomed a new problem child.

Chen Luo did not develop any fear of Abi because of this.

After all, how many people in a bar aren't problem children?

There are more people with all sorts of problems in bars than normal people. No, or rather, there are no normal people in bars.

However, Abby's situation was even more unique than theirs.

The keyhole on Abby's head can be attributed to the automatic release of his abilities after leaving Earth.

Just like being able to connect to Chen Luo's home WiFi in Chen Luo's bar, even though it's not on Earth, coming to the bar doesn't easily sever the connection with the original world.

It was precisely because she was connected to the main world but not on Earth that Abby was able to reveal a portion of her innate abilities.

Abi, who became sinister and started talking about doing bad things after the restrictions were lifted, is perhaps the true form of the Outer God Priestess.

Chen Luo, or rather the entire main world, doesn't have a deep understanding of chaotic items. In fact, because they are alien products, even the Heavenly Emperor and his people don't know much about the chaotic pantheon. They only know that some unfortunate evil gods have been sealed in foreign countries, but that's not something the Heavenly Emperor should care about, since foreign countries aren't their territory.

However, everyone who knows anything about the Chaos pantheon has one thing in common: that is, madness is perhaps the main theme of the Chaos pantheon.

Of course, this is just speculation.

Because of the appearance of the Abyss Passage, the number of chaotic items in this world has gradually increased. Before that, people in the context of the spiritual energy revival did not know much about them.

No matter what kind of chaotic item it is, it will more or less carry a crazy and twisted aura. Whether it is a characteristic of this pantheon or because ordinary people cannot understand these gods and this specific information, not many people know, and no one can get the answer.

It's unclear whether there are wise men or learned gods within the chaotic pantheon, but madness is people's first impression of chaotic items.

As the priestess of the evil god, Abi's seemingly innocent nature is rather strange.

Chen Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief as he gradually came to understand the current situation.

What's scary isn't how difficult the problem is to solve, but that the problem is completely undetectable.

It's not scary that Abby has any unusual symptoms; what's scary is that Chen Luo can't even detect them.

Knowing that Abby might be gradually affected as her talent is fully unleashed, Chen Luo came up with some solutions.

"No wonder my mom told me to spend as much time as possible with Abby. As an extremely innocent girl, she is more susceptible to external influences as she learns more information. Abby's current situation is indeed suitable for a handsome, kind, cute, gentle, considerate, and generous guy to tutor her."

As for who that handsome... good-looking guy is, there's no need to say more, right?

As a priestess and attendant of the Outer God, Abi seems quite different from those crazy, low-level creatures, possessing her own rationality.

However, as power is gradually unleashed, those who cannot withstand the pressure may be corrupted by this frenzy.

Therefore, Abby needs someone who trusts her and someone Abby trusts to be by her side.

"Although Abby kept talking about doing bad things, she might not even understand what bad things are," Chen Luo thought to herself, watching Abby eat a pancake.

Abby is like a novice gamer who skipped the tutorial, with a feeling of "I don't know where I am, but I know I'm about to go on a killing spree."

As an innocent girl, Abby doesn't even know what constitutes a bad thing, but she feels that she should do bad things.

That's why Chen Luo needs to instill in Abi a set of values ​​that don't have to be extremely kind, but must be normal.

"From this perspective, although my mother may not be very capable, and may not fully understand the direction of events, she can still make the most correct judgments based on her intuition."

"Perhaps my parents are considered legends in their little circle."

The precise intuition gained through countless trials may be more suitable for Chen's parents, who are archaeologists, than some special and powerful weapons.

"Oh, right, Abby," Chen Luo suddenly said.

"What's wrong?" Abby asked, her voice a little muffled as she ate her delicious pancake.

“From now on, you can still call me brother. You can call me Luo Luo when you feel you’re mature enough, okay? As a reward, you can eat these delicious baked buns every day.”

"Okay, brother!" Abi cheered and then continued eating the pancakes at Chen Luo's prompting.

Hmm, Chen Luo might need a little trick to know when Abby will turn bad.

For example, he made Abby call him "brother," and he made Abby, who wanted to do bad things, call him "Lolo."

It may seem troublesome, but in some ways it is necessary.

This conclusion was reached by Chen Luo after observing several people with dual personalities who frequently visited the bar. Dual personalities aren't rare; there are several in the Honkai Impact world alone.

However, whether Abby and Abby who wants to do bad things can be considered to have a split personality is still debatable.

Perhaps Abi, who wanted to do bad things, was in a state of "divine intervention"?

Chen Luo didn't find this troublesome at all; on the contrary, he was quite eager to try it out because Abi, who wanted to do something naughty, looked so cute.

However, given that Chen Luo wanted to create a normal environment for Abi, he couldn't help but look at Yakumo Yukari.

Abby must not be corrupted, so all those who can corrupt Abby must be eliminated!

Okay, killing him is a bit much, but...

"Yukari Yakumo, come and sign the contract." Chen Luo took out a contract.

"Huh, a contract? What contract? Is it all so sudden?" Yukari Yakumo was taken aback.

"A Good Student's Oath. This contract only contains the basic rules; you'll need to fill in the rest of the details yourself." Chen Luo tossed the contract directly to Yakumo Yukari.

It wasn't a harsh or excessive contract; it was simply a matter of telling Yukari Yakumo not to corrupt Abby.

That's it.

Chen Luo wasn't worried that Yakumo Yukari was doing this on purpose, since she knew her limits.

But you can't be too afraid of the unexpected. Who knows if Yukari Yakumo has a habit of "doing bad things"?

Moreover, teaching children bad habits is not limited to doing bad things.

"jingle!"

"Oh, right, Merlin, come over here too. Let's discuss a contract together," Chen Luo called out to Merlin, who had just entered the bar.

There are many ways to corrupt children, and "heartlessness" is one of them.

Merlin is the most outstanding among them.

Chapter 949 The Wonderful Use of Abby's Talent - I am a Locksmith!

"Chen Luo, you heartless bastard! How could you not trust me, someone you've been through thick and thin with? How can you face the emotions we felt after dying and meeting again 30 times?" Merlin pressed his handprint on the multi-person contract with a sorrowful expression.

"Thirty-odd times? I've forgotten some, but why don't you try to make it forty, round it up?" Chen Luo pulled out his Mercury Sword.

[The sword that stabs whoever gives it to Merlin], Merlin was stabbed to death more than 30 times by this short sword.

"Take this sword away from me." Merlin looked at the Mercury Sword with a look of disgust.

Merlin was thoroughly fed up with this Mercury Sword.

Merlin didn't want to comment on the sword, but if someone had been stabbed to death more than 30 times in a short period of time by a single sword, they might feel a pain in their back when they saw it.

Even though Merlin was a follower clone at the time, his subjective feelings were not diminished in the slightest.

However, Mei Yilin had voluntarily been stabbed, so she couldn't say anything.

My kidneys are a little sore.

"I just wanted to remind you of our close relationship, there's no need to be so nervous." Chen Luo sheathed the mercury sword in his hand.

"Alright, you heartless bastard! You sacrificed my best friend of over a week for a temporary trial version of a girl you just met!"

Although Merlin wanted to extend the timeframe, she suddenly realized that she and Chen Luo had only known each other for less than a month.

It can only be said that Chen Luo always leaves a deep impression on people, making them mistakenly believe that they are old friends with him.

"Good heavens! That heartless Merlin actually called others heartless. The world has changed. Abby, stay away from this white-haired big brother from now on," Chen Luo said to Abby in his arms.

"Hmm." Abby glanced at Merlin and nodded.

"Tch, I was going to tell you some important information, but your attitude has hurt me deeply, so I won't give it to you. You'll regret it!" Merlin said sadly.

"I always feel like you're a primary school student who, after being bullied by your deskmate, says, 'I was going to lend you my eraser, but I'm not now,' trying to make your deskmate regret it," Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

"You really understand me, you truly are my best friend!" Merlin smiled and patted Chen Luo on the shoulder.

Sigh, it feels like I've known Chen Luo for a long time, how come it hasn't even been a month? It's really strange.

However, Merlin did have things to say to Chen Luo, but in Merlin's current view, they weren't very important.

Just now, when Chen Luo invited Merlin to sign the contract, he carefully explained Abigail's situation to Merlin and Yukari Yakumo.

Merlin felt that Abby's situation seemed somewhat familiar.

However, given that he and Chen Luo were in two different worlds, their situations might not be the same, only somewhat similar. Revealing that information might not be of any help to Chen Luo, so Merlin didn't say anything more.

Merlin believed that, judging by human emotions, he and Chen Luo could be considered friends. If there was something important that had nothing to do with so-called destiny, Merlin wouldn't mind helping out.

But... since it's not important, there's no need to cause Chen Luo unnecessary trouble.

"Incidentally" it was also a way to get revenge on Chen Luo for calling him heartless.

What do you mean by "heartless"? What kind of talk is that?

I'm not heartless, I don't even have a heart!

Things seem to be getting interesting, but not entirely interesting.

The experience of watching the play was probably just a minor episode.

But whatever the fun it is, as long as it's fun, the heartless Merlin is happy to see it happen.

While chatting with his friends, Chen Luo didn't forget to keep an eye on Abby's situation. After closing her permissions, Abby reverted from the third stage back to the second stage.

If the ordinary Abby is the first stage, then the Abby with the keyhole is the second stage, and the crazy Abby who wants to do bad things but doesn't know what bad things are is the third stage.

The first stage of Abby is probably the most common Abby. The reason for this is that Abby is such a simple girl at heart, not because of any external reasons.

Because of the effect of being separated from the heavens and earth on Earth, Abi's talent is affected to some extent. In addition, the One Who Unifies All Things is busy with something and has no time to care for Abi, so Abi's talent is sealed.

After the One Who Returns to All Things is no longer busy, Abby should be able to use some of his abilities even if he is on Earth.

The state of separation between heaven and earth is a very mysterious state. Under this state, all kinds of demons and monsters on earth gradually awaken, but the immortals who have hidden in their grottoes and caves cannot come down.

This can probably be considered a case of reaping what you sow. The immortals used blessed lands, the immortal realm, heaven, and Mount Olympus to allow themselves to still live in places rich in spiritual energy during the 500 years when spiritual energy was declining. They could freely engage in cultivation activities and live their lives, but they lost the first 50 years of each millennium.

It might not seem like it would have much of an impact, but if you obediently accept the 500-year seal, you can awaken within the first 50 years, so what?

Just like the background story of the Herrscher of Knowledge's original identity, an A-rank talent activated after death, but fell into a deep sleep due to the decline of spiritual energy.

This A-level talent was indeed sealed for 500 years, so after the spiritual energy revival, Chen Luo could awaken him directly without waiting for the Celestial and Human states to end.

Simply put, it's like escaping punishment, but not completely escaping it.

Those ancestors and deities who sealed themselves away in their blessed lands used the punishment of not being able to descend to the mortal realm for the first 50 years of each millennium to gain the privilege of freely moving around, cultivating, and practicing during this 500-year period of declining spiritual energy.

Strictly speaking, as long as everyone chooses to enter the blessed land together and seal themselves away for 500 years, the time when everyone appears will be pushed back by 50 years, and no one can sneak away, which is equivalent to having no punishment.

This is equivalent to delaying the holiday by three days, but at the same time, extending the start of the school term by three days.

Doing this is basically a guaranteed way to make a profit.

After all, if they didn't go to the blessed land, the 500 years they were sealed in reality would be completely wasted. They wouldn't be able to cultivate, eat, or even worry about being visited by tomb raiders.

Even if immortals have robust bodies and cannot be dismembered, thus dying mysteriously, if their unique characteristics are treated as a miracle, and they are made to sleep naked on an altar for people to worship, then...

It's hard to imagine what strange things some people might do to a body that has no mind.

Male cultivators are fine, but women...

Moreover, even if you are lucky enough to emerge unscathed, you cannot be instantly freed when spiritual energy is first revived. Instead, there will be a recovery period, which may be 10 or 20 years, or even 50 years.

Huge loss!

He wasted 500 years of cultivation time and didn't gain any benefits, and now he has to worry about being killed by a mortal with a single hoe.

Moreover, immortals rarely descend to the mortal realm, and the concentration of spiritual energy in the immortal realm is no stronger than that in the human realm.
