12.04. 13:40 a.m.

There was a rain just after the early hours of the morning, and the rain stopped before dawn, and the air became much colder.

Kiriba sat on the edge of the bed, and when he looked up, he could see the gloomy sky outside, and the wet wind poured in through the window, and the whole room began to permeate with a cold feeling peculiar to winter.

He sniffed the chilly air, and his entire airway became a little cold from it.

At this time, he was looking at the string of numbers on his mobile phone, a little hesitant, this string of numbers was given to him by the insect master a few days ago, saying that if there is anything he wants to ask, just call and ask directly.

At first, Kiriha, who had the idea of "not wanting to have too much contact with the insect master", had no intention of dialing it out after reluctantly saving the number, but now it seems that it was a wiser thing for him not to refuse the other party strongly.

"Hey, it's me. ”

"I know it's you, what's the matter with me?"

"Since last night, some lines have started to appear on the surface of the crystal egg. ”

He said as he looked at the huge crystals beside him.

"Is it golden?"

"Hmm. ”

"It means that the child is about to be born. ”

"Can you determine the exact time?"

"I don't know, because even for the same phenomenon, different individuals are born at different times. By the way, when cracks cover the surface of the egg, the inside of the egg becomes clear. Generally, the larvae are able to hatch from the eggs a few hours after that. ”

"I think we'll have to wait a little longer. ”

"The newly hatched Blood Demon Seed will be very hungry, so you need to prepare food in advance. ”

"Food? What do I need to prepare? It can't be human blood, right?"

"It's okay if you want to sacrifice yourself. ”

Even through the mobile phone, Tong Ye can hear the taste of ridicule from the other party's tone. However, he also knows a lot about the character of the insect master's bad taste.

"Is there no other option but this? Of course, if that's the case, I'm not out of the question......

"Just kidding. You can prepare some blood tofu, I don't know what the taste is, because the taste of the blood demon seeds is not very different, but I think the taste of ox blood may be easier for them to accept. Secondly, the offal of animals is also their favorite food. ”

"You don't have to prepare vegetables or anything?"

“...... Are you really going to raise her as a human being?" the insect master's tone sounded a little surprised, but his laughter was soon heard. "If she is used to eating it, rape, camellia, and amaranth may be better. ”

"I see. ”

"What else don't you understand?"

"So be it. ”

Kiritha hung up the phone and sighed softly.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and fourteen hours of the day had passed.

The crystal egg beside him was still absorbing the magic power of the flame, and at this time it was already half an adult man's height. Obviously, the crystal egg was too big to move at this point, whether it was to carry it with him or ask the courier company to transport it on his behalf—he considered the second method, but he quickly gave up on the idea after he thought, "If the courier sees the girl in the egg (although it is not very clear because of the cloudiness), I don't know how much trouble it will cause".

On the other side, Lu Ling's three-day period still has sixty-eight hours left (two days and more than ten hours). Due to the urgency of time, Kiritha reluctantly put down his work and devoted himself to the incubation of warfarin, and the reason for resigning from the job was a new lie.

"Are you sick?"

"Hmm. ”

He thought that even without herself, she could handle work very well, right?

Obviously, he also knew that this was just a self-deceptive comfort, he was a little tired, and if he could, he felt much more comfortable being honest.

"Rest well, I'll do the rest by myself, and you'll have to recover before you go." ”

This matter was finally confused, and Kiritha breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to Hua Farin on the side.

In the evening, Lu Ling came with news again.

"Feeling better?"

"It's not like it's going to be good, but it's going to get better, don't worry about me. ”

Let's talk about what Kiriha is doing at this time.

Since last night, after the golden-red veins appeared, the crystal eggs have stopped getting bigger. At first, all the lines were just one or two thin lines, and Tong Ye thought that he was dazzled, and he didn't care very much, but then, those golden-red lines also became more and more, and by the time he woke up this morning, these lines were almost covered with crystal walls, and at the same time, the turbidity inside had disappeared a lot.

He couldn't help but wonder, this couldn't be a rift, right?

Aside from this particular color, these lines look like cracks no matter how you look at them, and the crystal egg looks like a piece of glass that has been shattered.

In addition, it is still not clear what warfarin looks like inside, and only a slightly blurry shape can be seen. With her empty left hand, Kiriha drew the outline of Warfarin on the crystal wall according to the girl's faint shadow.

Estimating the size of the girl according to the outline he had drawn, he found that if he had drawn correctly, Warfarin was indeed the size of an eleven or twelve-year-old girl.

Tong Ye thought that when he saw it for the first time, it was still an inconspicuous gadget that could be held in his hand as a pendant, and he sighed a little for a while.

At first, he agreed to accept Warfarin just to learn about the "Red Lotus Flame" from the insect master, and this was a month ago, and time was still moving forward, and he was spending more and more time with this egg. He remembered the trembling mood when he was worried that the eggs would be found by Lu Ling at the beginning, the scene when he took the eggs in a hot bath and basking in the sun in order to find a way to hatch warfarin, and watched the eggs grow rapidly day by day when they hatched......

Kiriba was even grateful for this gift given to him by the insect master, and began to sincerely hope that Hua Farin would be born soon.

He thought again, Huafarin was born to be his sister, right?

What does it feel like to have a younger sister?

Small, weak, and can't help but care for it - the so-called sister should be something like this, right?

Thinking of the word sister, Kiripha's heart throbbed inexplicably.

It's been a few days since he woke up alone from the hospital room and couldn't remember anything about himself, during which time he met the bald boss, met Lu Ling, learned about the world of hunters, and became her temporary servant (will soon become a real servant?).

Occasionally, Kiritha remembers waking up in the hospital room surrounded by unfamiliar, cold air, and still feels out of place when he sees other people talking and laughing, as if he really doesn't belong here.

It's called loneliness, right?

Kiriba felt the temperature of the crystal in his palm, closed his eyes, and was a little tired and pressed his forehead against the surface of the crystal wall, which made him feel very relieved.

When he came back to his senses, it was already dark, he stretched, moved his stiff body, and his whole body clicked as if it was about to fall apart, and he couldn't help but let out a comfortable moan, and glanced at the time with half-squinted eyes.

23:30 a.m.

That's all for today.

He got up and took out a towel and a change of clothes and pants from the cupboard, and ran to the bathroom for a comfortable hot bath. After coming out, I cooked a bowl of instant noodles, and sat on the bed and ate instant noodles while watching TV with the braised eggs used as snacks on the coffee table.

Feeling full, he belched and stretched, walked to the window to close it, and turned off the light switch by the bedside when he returned.

"Good night, Warfarin. ”

The dim crystals suddenly lit up, as if in response. This response quickly faded away, and the room returned to its dark state.

Jingle Bell –

At 6:30 a.m., Kiriba was woken up by the sound of a set alarm clock. He reluctantly rolled over, turned off the alarm clock, and lay in bed for nearly a minute before sitting up with his sleepy eyes rubbed.

"Good morning, Warfarin. ”

He slurred as he walked over and opened the curtains.

The sky had already dawned, glowing with a pale cyan light. On the street, bare branches are neatly arranged, stretching into the distance. The telephone poles were stuck in the ground like a woman's hairpin, and the tops of those concrete pillars were hung with black and blue wires, and turtledoves were stepped on them.

The bright light awakens the paulownia leaves, and along with a brief discomfort in the eyes, all the organs of the body, starting from the skin, are awakened by these lights.

The next day, he realized, had already begun.

The hatching work usually starts at 7:30 a.m., and he spent an hour preparing for the work, such as brushing his teeth, washing his face and eating breakfast. Perhaps because he had just gotten up, he didn't have much appetite, so he used a bowl of soup wontons for breakfast.

After the preparations were completed, Kiriba took advantage of the remaining ten minutes to make a time plan for today's day.

7:30-9:30 incubation

9:30-9:40 Break

9:40-11:40 incubation

11:40-11:50 Break

11;50-13:00 incubation

13:00-15:00 Intermission

15;00-17;00 incubation

......

The schedule does seem a bit monotonous, and the incubation process is still boring, but the feeling of giving birth to life is very good, and with the good patience of Kiripa, such a boring work has allowed him to persevere.

He didn't just do the incubation of eggs, and if that were, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on, and at this time, his free left hand was using the remote control to flip back and forth the content he was interested in on TV.

Kiripa looked at Warfarin on the side and thought to himself, if Warfarin came out, they could watch TV together.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Ling made a phone call.

"Hey, it's me, Lu Ling. ”

"I know. ”

"Are you feeling better?"

He sighed softly, exhaustion welling up and opening his mouth to say that he was not sick. But when the words came to his lips, he looked at Warfarin on the side and swallowed back.

"It's much better, but my head is still a little ......"

He paused for a second and said from the bottom of his heart.

"I'm sorry. ”

"Don't say it, just get some rest. ”

The phone hung up, and there was silence all around.

He knew he didn't have time to be depressed, it was 14:04, and the short phone call didn't even last a minute. Fifty-six minutes were still before the end of the break, but after a brief silence, he sat up from his bed and placed his hand on the crystal egg.

Maybe it's a little better. Kiritha thought silently.

The next day has passed, and the appearance of the crystal eggs is still similar to yesterday morning, and the only day left makes Kiriba a little anxious.

As he lay in bed, he couldn't help but wonder what he would do if warfarin didn't hatch as scheduled.

Is it to persuade Lu Ling to leave later?

Or will you continue to stay here to finish the hatching work, and then go to Yuandu to meet the girl?

Can Lu Ling accept it?

Is your relationship with her so strong?

Do you want to deceive her again?

What to do?

In a state of uneasiness and anxiety, he finally fell asleep, and this sleep until ten o'clock in the morning, he jumped up in panic, and the first thing he did was to open his phone to check the messages.

However, he was suddenly stunned.

At 7:30 a.m., Juli sent a message over.

"Lu Ling was injured and hospitalized. ”
