These weird things are all mine

Little Odetta's little brain was almost frightened. She couldn't walk not because she was tired, but because she was frightened.

"Okay, let's take a break first."

Luo Ling sighed. As he was not sure whether the current time and space was a reappearance of the past or a true return to the past, Luo Ling could not just throw little Odetta somewhere.

She wanted to take little Odetta away from the hatchery first, but... spores were useless for exploring the hatchery exit. Luo Ling had already suffered this once in Baiyan Village.

...Just keep it with you for now, it won't get in the way much anyway.

"Miss, are you a 'fortune teller'?"

After calming down a little, little Odetta stared at Luo Ling and the hourglass pendant on her chest and asked.

"Ah."

Luo Ling responded.

"Are all 'diviners' as powerful as this young lady?"

"more or less."

Luo Ling replied absentmindedly. Even when she took a break, she did not rest completely. The spores she spread out were constantly searching for clues in the hatchery.

The area covered by this hatchery is approximately one-third the size of the urban area, which is roughly equivalent to one-quarter of Jiangcheng County, and affects more than 50,000 people.

The disaster seemed to have happened for a while, and there were basically no survivors. Little Odetta was just an accident. Her servants and attendants should have retained some willpower and protected their master as much as possible before they were completely transformed into monsters.

After being completely transformed into a monster, little Odetta's necklace shield lasted until Luo Ling came to rescue her, and she luckily survived.

"Can I be as good as the young lady? I, I can't seem to do anything..."

Little Odetta squatted on the ground, and tears welled up in her eyes again when she thought about what had happened during this period.

She bit her lip, trying hard to hold back the tears, but the snot bubbles came out again.

"Let's talk about it when you grow up."

Luo Ling said perfunctorily again, her attention focused on finding the aura of other awakeners in the hatchery.

You can't replicate time and space and only replicate a little Odetta, right?

Unfortunately, the hatchery was filled with the foul and foul smell of the tumor monsters, which almost covered up all traces.

Finally, Luo Ling found traces of a battle other than hers, and it was quite recent, probably having happened not long ago.

But when she looked closely, her expression became strange.

"Isn't this... my birthplace?"

That is, near the place where little Odetta was rescued.

Luo Ling turned his head to look at little Odetta who was staring at him, but after meeting Luo Ling's gaze, little Odetta avoided him in panic.

"It seems that even if I didn't take action, little Odetta would have been saved by this awakener..."

I guess this would be the result in normal time and space.

Let’s rush over and meet up with the other party first.

It would be best if they are members of Lina’s team. Even if not, no matter which force they encounter, Luo Ling can take out the corresponding work card.

Even if she is a pioneer, she can disguise herself as a pioneer as she has the memories of several pioneers.

But before that...

"Although the White Witch is not a wanted criminal at this time, I will still disguise myself for now because of my appearance."

Luo Ling saw a tailor shop nearby and came up with an idea.

He took a large piece of black cloth and cut it casually to make a cloak to simply cover his body shape and appearance.

The remaining scraps were used to make an eye mask for little Odetta to prevent the little girl from seeing any unpleasant scenes later.

Finally, Luo Ling picked up little Odetta's hand, held it with hers, tied it up with a cloth strip, and reinforced it with mycelium.

"In this case, you won't be afraid anymore."

Luo Ling gently patted their tied hands.

Little Odetta, with her eyes covered, lowered her head and spoke in a voice as weak as a mosquito.

"Um..."

Luo Ling stared at little Odetta's face and felt that it was too red.

The fear brought by the bloody scene just now...is it still hard to dispel?

However, judging from the situation when she met the little girl later, this incident should not have left any shadow on her.

"Follow closely."

Luo Ling took little Odetta's hand and took a deep breath.

"...good."

......

The blonde girl in light armor half-crouched on the ground, carefully examining the marks on the ground.

"...Are there any survivors?"

There are still some traces of battle on the ground, and it can be roughly seen that the opponent is an awakened person of the "Judgment" path, but his strength should not be very strong.

These killed tumor monsters were all transformed from ordinary people, and their combat power was equivalent to that of lower-level awakeners.

To deal with this kind of existence, a certain amount of fighting is required, which means that the opponent's strength is only about the fourth or fifth level.

"Let's find the survivor as soon as possible. I hope she didn't encounter the "Deformed Beast"..."

This hatchery crisis occurred two days ago. It is speculated that it is a "dangerous and weird" level hatchery, but the corresponding weirdness is currently unknown.

Because a troupe of the "Fate Society" was involved at the time of the incident, in order to rescue the troupe of hundreds of people including thirty awakeners, the Fate Society sent an elite team, but it was too late.

When the troupe was discovered, everyone in the troupe had transformed into tumorous monsters, and the awakened ones among them had turned into some kind of terrifying "deformed beasts".

After transforming into "Deformed Beasts", all of them became much stronger, and even the weakest one has reached the level of a high-level awakener.

What's more troublesome is that the mutant beasts are still eating and evolving, gnawing on the humans who have turned into tumorous monsters, and their strength is still increasing.

Since these deformed beasts have already scattered, the elite team can only split up temporarily, hunting separately and looking for survivors.

But the results are minimal.

At least until now, this was the first time Lina saw any traces of survivors.

...This time the hatchery appeared too suddenly, not even giving people any time to react.

At this moment, a hoarse roar sounded in her ears. Lina turned around and her pupils shrank slightly.

"Deformed beast..."

Compared with the tumor monsters, these deformed beasts are even less humanoid. They were all awakened in their lifetime, and after being contaminated by unknown forces, their abilities were not lost, but they underwent a certain degree of alienation.

The deformed beast in front of him was once a girl from the "All Souls" path, but now its skin color has turned gray-green, its eye sockets have been replaced by slightly protruding twisted flesh, and its lower body is spliced ​​together by various limbs, wriggling and dragging on the ground.

There was no beauty in the half-naked body, and its bulging abdomen was stuffed with countless internal organs and forcibly stitched together.

All the bodies have been healed together using the power of "All Spirits".

It stared at Lina with an organ that could hardly be called an eye, and the next moment it pounced on her at a speed that was completely inappropriate for its body size.

"Hands...feet..."

It stared at Lina's limbs greedily, wanting to merge with such a beautiful being.

"At least the strength of the seventh level!"

It was also quite troublesome for Lina.

She raised a carved rifle and fired three shots, piercing the body of the aberrant beast.

With a plop, he fell to the ground.

"......"

A little smoke and dust dissipated from Lina's right eye, and she silently watched the deformed beast stand up again crookedly.

The few shots just now directly removed many limbs of the deformed beast suit.

It hurriedly grabbed the scattered limbs and stuffed them back into its body before looking at Lina again.

The next moment, the mouthparts opened, as if laughing.

Several hands and feet appeared out of nowhere and pounced on Lina.

Lina calmly aimed at the limbs and fired a few more shots, shooting them all down.

But the freak's smile was wider, almost sneering.

"...wrong!"

A premonition of danger came to her mind. Lina turned slightly and finally saw that another strange and short figure had approached within a few inches behind her.

The dwarf, with only his head and shadow left, slowly raised his head, raised the blade condensed by shadow high, and stabbed towards her heart.

This distance...

There is absolutely no way to avoid it.

"...I was careless."

Lina felt something was wrong. She never expected that the two deformed beasts could actually cooperate with each other. Otherwise, she would have discovered the lurking shadow dwarf first and would not have been approached by the other party to this position.

Just as Lina was about to launch a counterattack in the face of excruciating pain, she discovered that the shadow dwarf's movements had completely stopped at this moment, and the shadow blade in its hand could not continue to fall.

"Ok?"

Although Lina was confused, her hands did not move slowly.

With one shot, the shadow dwarf's head was blown off, and even his shadow body was blown to pieces.

At the same time, the multi-limbed monster woman next to her screamed with a little fear, as if she realized that the sneak attack had failed and prepared to escape.

But it didn't have time to move at all, and it froze in place like a stop-motion animation.

Lina was equally ruthless, and this time she was prepared. She carefully prepared a perfect shot, and with one shot she directly shattered the entire body of the multi-limbed monster woman.

"rest in peace."

Looking at the two bodies and the broken hourglass necklace next to the bodies, Lina Chen half-knelt down, tapped her forehead and shoulders lightly, and simply prayed for the two dead.

Before being alienated, they were also members of the "Fate Society".

Just then, two figures walked up to where Lina was praying and stopped.

"Thank you, the surviving 'fortune teller'."

Lina heard the familiar jingle of the visitor's necklace and spoke softly.

"You're welcome."

Luo Ling looked at Lina for a moment. She had seen Lina in the materials provided by Fiona. Now she saw that she was almost exactly the same as her mother.

It's just that his temperament is much colder.

"Am I always like this?"

Luo Ling thought about Fiona's evaluation of herself and felt a little doubtful.

She felt that she was much more approachable than Lina.

After finishing the prayer, Lina stood up and turned her gaze towards Luo Ling, and was immediately a little surprised.

She hadn't expected that the fortune teller who assisted her in clearing out the two seventh-order mutant beasts would be a person who... Not to mention being a minor, he might not even be old enough to attend an ordinary public school.

The other one is indeed just an ordinary person.

Lina was also surprised by the peculiar way the two got along with each other. They were blindfolded and their hands were tied. If they were two naive little girls, she would have suspected that they were playing some special game.

"Elemental path, ability to control metal, codename "Orion." Lina calmed down and said, "Your ability and codename."

"The "All Souls" path, the ability is to temporarily control the bodies of others, code name..."

Luo Ling hesitated for a while. She knew that the destiny societies were all coded with constellations, but she was just an outsourcer before, so she didn't have a set code name.

Just name one and he's afraid of bumping into someone...oh wait, there's one who's not afraid of bumping into someone.

"The Southern Cross."
