Chapter 4167: Night Accident
Audrey's head poked out from behind Megan's neck, and she also looked at the materials with great interest:
"Although this group's progress is not the fastest, compared to the 【Blood Spirit School】 and your mother, Viga, this group's plan looks the most likely to succeed. I don't know what means they used, but this line of thinking is truly amazing. I think even if the ancestor were resurrected, he would praise these people for being crazy with a high level of skill."
Megan also agreed:
"Indeed crazy with a high level of skill. Flesh-and-blood races have spent countless ages since the Mythical Era proving their own superiority. Elemental races, metal races, and other strange races have mostly disappeared, and the continuation of civilization still depends on us."
"And now, this group actually wants to rely on the 'mechanical race' created by directed mutation in a short time to win on the subject of 'which new race is more powerful'. It's really hard to say whether they are smart or stupid."
Megan and Audrey greatly appreciated their technical means but looked down upon their research approach. And the sisters were much calmer than Viga; they were not worried about this situation at all:
"This kind of directed mutation will at most affect tens of thousands of people. Even if it drags on for decades, it will only result in an extra group of ten thousand special people in the material world. But such a group will neither spread terrible influence, nor will their existence cause harm to people outside the group. Although the church will manage this matter, the energy invested will definitely not be too much."
Princess Lei Qianya also agreed with the Edwards sisters' views. Her Highness the Princess was accustomed to similar things; a group's energy for handling things always has an upper limit and cannot cover everything. This point is the same for the royal family and the church:
"What is not clear now is only the scope of influence. Xia De and Dorothy should go see Dorothy's niece tonight. If her heart really has a situation similar to Miss McDonald's, then we will have to let Xia De perform another surgery."
Dorothy pursed her lips:
"Such a small probability, if it really is encountered... is it because of me that my blood relatives are implicated?"
No one can confirm this point. Mysterious power has mutual attraction, and powerful mysterious power as a source will even generate huge attraction within a certain range. Whether this point is superstition or fact, no one has been able to say clearly throughout history.
Because this is fate.
It was already late, so Xia De and the others, knowing the ins and outs of the matter, planned to say goodbye and leave. Megan knew today was the Day of the Red Butterfly, so although she had the heart to follow Xia De home, she still chose to stay with Viga as she had just said.
And before saying goodbye, Xia De went to visit Miss McDonald again. Everyone left space for the two, and only the two of them were left in the tall girl's room.
Miss McDonald was still lying on the bed resting. Seeing Xia De walk in, a blush appeared on her cheeks:
"Miss Luo Lin told me about what happened just now... thank you for saving me."
"No need to thank me specifically. Speaking of which, I sensed something was wrong on Sunday, but I wasn't vigilant enough at the time."
Xia De sat on the chair by the bed; this was left by the maid who had been accompanying her just now:
"The ins and outs of the matter have been investigated clearly. Miss Luo Lin or Ajelina will explain it to you in a while. You have returned to normal now, and there will be no problems in the future."
"Are you leaving?"
The girl asked, and Xia De nodded:
"I will still..."
The girl's lips pressed onto Xia De's lips. After experiencing a life-and-death event, Eve McDonald finally gathered her courage and did what her teacher could do and she could also do.
She saw Xia De's surprise, and she herself was also very shy, so she just kissed him lightly and retracted her head:
"Thank you."
She said in a low voice with a blushing face. Xia De blinked, very curious why the girls around him always liked to use this method to express gratitude:
"It's nothing..."
Then Miss McDonald asked in a low voice again:
"When you replaced my heart just now, you saw everything, right?"
Although her face was still flushed, she still asked this question. Xia De admitted honestly:
"Yes, the situation was urgent at the time, and I had to do so."
"Then... is it beautiful?"
Xia De's brain uncontrollably recalled the details he hadn't noticed at the time because of his anxiety and nervousness. Xia De's memory was very good.
"Hmm... very beautiful."
Miss McDonald looked at Xia De, and for a moment, neither of them spoke, until she reached out and grabbed Xia De's hand, placing it on her pajamas corresponding to the location of the wound just now.
Although the tall girl's face was as red as if it were about to explode, she still gripped Xia De's wrist tightly and wouldn't let go. Xia De was worried about hurting her and didn't struggle. He was waiting for her to let go of his hand, but Miss McDonald seemed to have frozen afterward and just wouldn't let go.
Finally, Xia De had no choice but to exert force with his right hand amidst "her" laughter, and the girl seemed to be awakened, exclaiming and letting go of Xia De's wrist.
"You gave me a new heart; this is... gratitude."
She said this, then pulled up the quilt and covered her whole body. No matter how bold a girl is, encountering the situation just now requires all her courage.
"Then I'm leaving, see you tomorrow."
Xia De had no choice but to say this, but when he stood up, he heard a very small voice from under the quilt:
"Please call me by my name 'Eve' from now on, and I will also call you 'Xia De'."
"Okay, Eve, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow, Xia De."
This was just a small interlude before returning home, and after everyone returned home together from the Blue Ink Library, the time had already reached nine o'clock on this Tuesday night.
Xia De didn't go to look at the materials Old John gave him again; after all, it was already very late. Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya originally planned to use tonight to make up for the evening class that couldn't be held last time, but seeing it was very late, they also canceled tonight's plan.
But Dorothy still remembered her niece's matter, so Xia De accompanied her to her eldest brother's home. The little girl was already asleep, so Xia De and Dorothy checked her and confirmed that her heart was still pure flesh and blood.
Dorothy was slightly relieved, but she still remembered that Viga's student also couldn't detect anything at first, and then suddenly a problem occurred. So after the two returned home, she took her niece's hair and asked Luweiya to help with divination, and the divination result was quite good:
"It is indeed a similar mutation, but unlike Miss McDonald, the mutation was suppressed by the human body. Dorothy, this is like most people getting pimples, but some people can do nothing and the pimple marks disappear on their own very quickly. Flesh and blood are very magical; machinery is not more noble than flesh and blood. The child is fine."
Dorothy was slightly relieved but still decided to go see her niece's condition whenever she had time in the coming months.
The writer's mood returned to normal, and the Day of the Red Butterfly was not over yet. The night time, of course, should be enjoyed well. Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy generously invited Luweiya to enjoy this night together, but Luweiya smiled and refused:
"Spare me, last night Danister and I dealt with Xia De together, I have already... leave tonight to you all. I'll go to the third floor to continue divination; there are really too many things recently, I need to sort out my thoughts."
Of course, although she said this, after listening to the sounds coming from downstairs later, she still regretted refusing so decisively. Divination requires concentration, but listening to such sounds, even Luweiya couldn't perform divination properly.
So she gave up her original plan, washed up on the third floor, and burrowed into the quilt. She pricked up her ears to listen to the sounds downstairs, thinking about whether she would be mocked if she went to join them now.
But soon Luweiya didn't have to struggle with these things, because amidst the "normal" sounds, Xia De's exclamation suddenly came. Luweiya almost didn't think and rushed to the second floor in her slippers. After breaking into the bedroom, she saw Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy looking at each other in fear.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that everyone was fine, the purple-eyed girl in the room, the only one wearing a nightgown, smiled and teased:
"Just now I heard Princess Lei Qianya say that Dorothy, in order to have Princess Lei Qianya help you proofread the manuscript, you promised her some excessive things. Was Princess Lei Qianya too excessive?"
"No."
Xia De had a very serious expression on his face:
"Just now Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya, as usual, merged into one and... played a game with me; this was the opening activity of the night. But after the opening ended, when they wanted to separate, they found that the two merged bodies couldn't be separated."
"Oh?"
Luweiya realized the seriousness of the matter and asked:
"How did it recover afterward?"
Dorothy shook her head blankly:
"We don't know either. At first, we were both very anxious, and then suddenly we could separate."
Luweiya thought for a while, and then realized something:
"Before the story of the Chosen of Creation ends, unless it is necessary for the Chosen of Space to appear, don't merge your flesh and blood at will. I suspect this matter is related to this; no, no, I don't suspect you two are candidates again, it's just your talent that can allow flesh and blood to merge..."
Purple eyes were filled with light, and she looked at Xia De:
"If all flesh-and-blood life in the world eventually becomes one person, then does this also count as the Final Child?"
"They gave up the fate of merging into one; it seems the world has not given up yet."
Xia De said, opening his arms to hug the frightened girls:
"It's okay, it's okay. As long as you two know you are different individuals, fate cannot forcibly impose that strange responsibility on you."
Dorothy leaned on Xia De's shoulder and nodded lightly, while Princess Lei Qianya was quite worried:
"Xia De, didn't you get scared just now?"
Her Highness the Princess's eyes moved:
"Our problem is just a small matter; if you had a problem because of this fright, that would be the big matter."
As she said this, she moved very gently and blew a breath. Seeing a reaction, she felt relieved, but in order to test it, she brushed the stray hair by her ear and busied herself diligently again.
Dorothy also realized that this matter was the most important, so she issued an invitation to Luweiya:
"Since you're here, don't go back upstairs. Help us check on Xia De together; it wouldn't be good if he was scared."
"I wasn't scared!"
Xia De emphasized, but the girls didn't care what he said. Luweiya then pretended to hesitate with reserve, and only then joined in with the attitude of "there's really nothing I can do with you all."
The good news was that Xia De really wasn't scared; he proved this point himself later and regained his dignity. The bad news... there was no bad news. It was just that Luweiya finally knew what Dorothy had promised Princess Lei Qianya during tonight's activities.
She was greatly shocked:
"It can actually be like this? This indeed saves the trouble of the empathy spell and is more direct... Are you inviting me to join too? Well then, people always have to try new things."
"Meow~"
The cat in the living room just felt they were too noisy.
