The Final Story of Miss Weird

It was also because of this barrier that when Aunt Fiona discovered the secret that would cause the "company" to fall apart, she was discovered instantly by the directors and almost lost her life.

If Lina hadn't intervened, Aunt Fiona would never have escaped this disaster.

Therefore, maintaining Victoria's barrier has always been a very necessary thing, whether for the purpose of maintaining Victoria's current stability or to eliminate factors that are unfavorable to itself. Even if the old man will expend a lot of energy for this, he will do everything he can to ensure the continuous operation of the barrier.

But now, this barrier showed signs of breaking.

...Could it be the work of the "Pioneers"?

This is certainly one of the possibilities, but Luo Ling doesn't think so. The reason is that the "Pioneers" did not become more radical due to the breaking of the barrier. On the contrary, their actions inexplicably shrank during this period, as if they were wary of something.

On the other hand, the "Company" did not panic or get anxious because of the broken barrier, but continued to steadily advance the plan to clear the hatchery.

This means...the breaking of the barrier should be the company's plan, or more precisely, the old man's plan.

"The amount of energy required to maintain such a huge barrier is staggering. Even if the "company" has some other means, it will definitely be a great burden on the old man."

Luo Ling paused for a moment, "Now that I think about it, the reason why I was able to successfully fight off Aunt Fiona's "destined death" was probably partly due to this barrier."

The broken barrier meant that the old man had completely let go of his burdens and was in a state of full firepower.

Coupled with the abnormal behavior of both sides during this period...

"Is this the beginning of a desperate struggle?" Thinking of this, Luo Ling's expression was slightly stern, but he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes were a little gloomy, "Or... do you want to directly activate the boundary collapse?"

From the top secrets given by Aunt Fiona, we can learn that the real purpose of the directors of the "Company" is to seize the forbidden power. Even after the last failure, they are still preparing to seize it again, which is so similar to the past.

But given the current situation, should he give it a try and start the awakening ceremony directly, or has he given up on the plan and started the "boundary collapse" at the risk of being "swallowed" in order to thwart the conspiracy of the "pioneers"?

"The small waves before the tsunami..."

After digesting all this information, Luo Ling's consciousness returned to Alyssa's body. Only then did she realize that she was being held by someone.

Stasha looked very thin, but she was surprisingly strong. She was able to pick up Alyssa like a princess. She was gathering all her strength and moving her to the bathtub next to her, panting.

Of course, maybe it’s also because Alisa is actually very light.

I have to say that the blind nun has a very good figure, with curves in the right places and curves in the right places. She is totally different from the flat figure of Luo Ling.

Of course, comparing her to Luo Ling is a bit too insulting to Alyssa. After all, even Alyssa's sister Stasha...

Both of them suffered from malnutrition since childhood, and Stasha was even worse off than Luo Ling, but she was still better. It was just that the coarse linen clothes she had always worn concealed Stasha's small achievements.

Now, Luo Ling could no longer use malnutrition as an excuse.

"..."

Luo Ling closed his vision of the spores, out of sight, out of mind.

Since both her hands were holding Alyssa, Stasha really couldn't spare a hand to test the temperature of the water in the tub, so she said,

"Sister, can you try the water temperature to see if it's suitable? It's just to your left."

"it is good."

Luo Ling stretched out his hand and slightly reached towards the water surface - in fact, this was an unnecessary action. After almost all the flesh and blood had become weird, Alyssa had lost most of her perception and touch, and was replaced by another kind of perception belonging to Puppet Rumor.

In other words, Alyssa today only looks like a human on the surface, but is actually a large fungal strain with some human organs embedded in it.

"very suitable."

Luo Ling said softly.

“Okay!” Alyssa said as she carefully put Alyssa down, “Be careful, sister, move your right hand a little to the left, yes, a little more to the left, hold it steady.”

It was not until Luo Ling groped and grasped the edge of the bathtub with both hands that Stasha let go of her hands.

With a "splash", Alyssa's body fell into the bathtub, splashing a lot of water.

"ah!"

Stasha, who was caught off guard by the splash of water, screamed suddenly, then covered her slightly red arm with a look of shock on her face.

She stretched out her hand to test the water temperature, but as soon as she touched the water, her fingers were burned red. She quickly stretched out her hand and said,

"Sister, the temperature is not right. Come, grab my head and come out quickly. If you stay any longer, you will be cooked..."

"puff."

Luo Ling was directly amused by Stasha's words, but Stasha was so anxious that she wanted to cry.

She just thought that her sister might have some problem that was why she couldn't sense the water temperature.

"In this case, just add more cold water." Luo Ling said, "Maybe it's because I'm old and a bit slow, I think it's quite suitable."

How slow is this...

Stasha widened her eyes. Besides, her sister wasn’t that old. She was only... 37 years old this year?

Without time to think further, Stasha quickly put out the fire under the bathtub, then trotted to the large bucket of spare water next to it, scooped up a bucket of water, lifted it to the side of the bathtub and poured it all in.

She went back and forth several times until the bathtub reached normal temperature and then she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

...Hey, not very tired?

At the same time, Luo Ling put away the mycelium in his hand.

Just some life hacks.

"Come here, Stasha."

Luo Ling waved to Stasha.

"What's wrong, sister?"

Stasha walked over suspiciously, only to see her sister stretch out her hand and gently touch the slightly burned area, instantly soothing all the pain.

Even the red mark left by the burn turned into a scar and soon fell off, revealing the tender new skin.

"Okay."

Luo Ling smiled slightly.

This is Alyssa's own awakened ability, which consumes her own inspiration to speed up the healing of injuries, and is limited to external injuries that can heal themselves.

Of course, this is already considered a fairly orthodox healing ability. If it were Luo Ling's Puppet Rumor...if he really wanted to treat this kind of injury, he would probably have to cut off the arm and regenerate it. It would be difficult to regenerate only a part of the right skin. After all, healing injuries is not Puppet Rumor's job.

"Wow, so magical?" Stasha touched her arm in disbelief, then looked up at Alyssa, "Sister, is this the power of the Lord? But... does the Lord really exist?"

Stasha, who had never seen the special powers of a superhuman, found this both novel and strange.

Stasha, who has read a lot of books, is a rare materialistic atheist in Victoria. Her annotations on religious texts are all based on her understanding of the real world. She can be said to be the most infuriating heresy for the church.

Only in front of her sister did Stasha dare to say such "treasonous" words.

Unfortunately, this world...is no longer "materialistic".

"Maybe."

Luo Ling smiled without comment.

The long-lost tender time is always short-lived. Stasha used the bathtub only after her sister finished taking a bath.

Of course, this time the temperature after heating was quite reasonable, and Stasha enjoyed soaking for a long time.

Although she was using the bath water that her sister had used, Stasha did not have any complaints.

Because this kind of life is a luxury that I could never have imagined before. In the past, I only had the chance to wash my body with clean water once a month, and I just wiped my body. Taking a bath was simply unimaginable.

After taking a bath, Stasha was busy helping her sister dress in various clothes.

A large-scale mass ceremony will be held at the Cathedral of the Church of Light today. The Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Victoria will be here to preside over it personally. I don't know how many dignitaries will come to watch the ceremony. It will be a very grand scene.

Because of this, Alyssa needed to wash her body as thoroughly as possible. There were not many opportunities in the past to be as careful as she is now.

Clean water is quite rare in Victoria, unless there is a water-type ability user of the "elemental" path, or... ice-type ability user.

——The daily water for the Twin Ponytails Team is all provided by Cen Xiangyun. Perhaps... this can also be considered a little life skill.

Today, even Stasha wore a smaller nun's uniform. Although she is not a saint, she is the saint's younger sister, so she can be considered a little saint if rounded off.

It's just that this little saint has some heretical ideas.

When Stasha pushed her sister into the cathedral, it was already packed with people, and even the outskirts of the cathedral were crowded with civilians.

When Saint Alyssa appeared, the noisy environment instantly became quiet. The next moment, almost everyone knelt down tremblingly and reverently performed the sacrament to the saint.

Luo Ling was somewhat uncomfortable with being worshipped like this, but she did not let her consciousness escape from the cathedral because she sensed an uninvited guest in the cathedral.

Luo Ling maintained a calm expression and entered the cathedral surrounded by believers.

The preparations for the Mass were carried out in an orderly manner, leaving some time for the saint to pray alone.

Stasha pushed Luo Ling until they came to the room where the Saint usually stayed alone. Luo Ling turned around and said softly,

"Wait for me outside the room, Stasha. I want to be alone for a while and will come out later."

"Ah."

Stasha nodded and stepped back a little to make way for Luo Ling to enter the room.

Luo Ling pushed the door open and walked in. As expected, there was an extremely short child standing in the room. He was wearing a slightly ill-fitting bachelor's gown, and his childish face showed a look of vicissitudes of life.

In the whole of Victoria, there is only one person who dresses so strangely.

"Mr. Educator." Luo Ling nodded slightly and said, "You look a little younger."

If the last time it was a child of twelve or thirteen years old, the educator now looks no more than ten years old, and even his complexion is much paler.

"The boy took action."

The educator said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Luo Ling's pupils shrank slightly.

Her guess...was right.

The boy is one of the three directors of the "Company". If he takes action personally, it means that the "Company" has already put all its chips into this gamble. Whether it is to initiate the awakening ceremony or the collapse of the boundary... it is imminent and absolutely cannot be delayed.

"Six of us pioneers died at his hands. We died instantly without exception. We didn't even have time to activate the secret ritual." The educator whispered, "I met him briefly. Unfortunately... I was not as good as him and was slightly injured."

Judging from the fact that he suddenly lost several years of his appearance, this was more than just a simple injury...

I'm afraid the injury is serious.

Luo Ling didn't know all these things. Although her intelligence network was spread throughout Victoria, they were all low-end bureaus. Ordinary people could not exist in the incubator, and her power could not penetrate.

In other words, these things all happened in the hatchery.

"'Theologian', please do not leave the cathedral during this time. Just keep it as it is. We will take care of the rest."

The educator continued, but paused for a moment, "Your talent is unparalleled and your future is limitless, so please rest assured. At least... protecting your life is not a problem for us."

"So, do I need to continue to go to various hatcheries to spread the aura of the "White Witch"? "Luo Ling asked.

"No need, our goal has been achieved, now..."

At this point, the educator realized something, and after thinking for a while, he said,

"In short, you have done a great job, 'Theologian'. The new promotion ceremony is already being prepared. You only need to wait a little while, and you can become the fifth leader of the Pioneers after the 'Religious Man'."

There seems to be a special method within the "Pioneers" that can forcibly promote ranks. The religious person used this method to be promoted from a mid-level awakener to a high-level one in three months, but... I'm afraid the price is not small.

"...Well, thank you, sir."

Luo Ling nodded his head and said yes, but he felt a little strange in his heart.

This cake is painted, I'm afraid it's poisoned...

A new promotion ceremony?

New sacrificial ritual!

She knew very well that the promotion of religious figures would become part of the philosopher's path to godhood, but what about herself?

As someone who is also on the path of "all spirits", I am afraid that I will become the cornerstone of the educator's path to godhood...

What a good calculation.

"Be safe. I'm leaving now."

The educator seemed to have other things to do. After nodding to Luo Ling, he turned into a pool of blood.

Under the warm sunshine that was rare in Victoria in recent days, the bloodstains instantly turned into a few wisps of smoke and dissipated, completely turning into ashes, as if the educator had never existed in this room.
