Chapter 9: Brother

Leo was in front of an ice coffin, but it wasn't made of ice as it sounded, it was mechanical, and it should have worked like a refrigerator. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

But why is it so obvious that such a place is placed in such a place?

From a distance, it appears that a person is lying inside.

Nazi hurriedly turned around and used her superpowers to forcibly bring Ikki out of the door, and took control of the door, so that he couldn't get in.

Compared to Ikki, Nazi is very mature, and she knows what she should do when.

"Nazi, help me, I want to go up. “

Leolu reached out his claws to Nazi, who nodded, and carried him up to it, while he himself came to the side, carefully examining the people inside.

In this ice-covered mechanical facility, lies a little girl, who is probably not as old as Yihui, but who knows how long she has been asleep, or is she dead?

Leo Lu pressed his face to the crystal cap on top and took a closer look at the little girl.

She was wearing only a thin plain white dress, and even her hair was white.

But her whiteness is not the same as Hualing's. Hua Ling gives people the feeling of an innocent and energetic whiteness, but this little girl gives people an indescribable paleness, there is loneliness, loneliness, sadness, and maybe some remorse?

Leolu had no way of knowing anything, he couldn't have opened the frozen device, and neither could Nazi, but then they wouldn't have been able to know the secrets of the house and the little girl.

"We ...... Let's get out, it's not for us. “

Leo Lu jumped off the ice coffin and gestured backwards to Nazi.

"Well, there is a bleak feeling that such a good child, just like that......"

She exhaled deeply, calmed herself, walked over to Leolu, and leaned down to pick him up at the look of his strange eyes.

"Nazi, are you alright?"

"It's okay, can I hug it for a while?"

"Well, I don't think much of it, but let's make an exception this time. “

"Thank you......"

Maybe Nazi didn't notice, she was thinking about some conjectures about the little girl, but Leolu found that when she saw such a scene, her heart did not fluctuate at all, and she only thought calmly.

"That...... How's the people inside?"

Opening the door, Kazuki walked up, but when he saw Nazi, who was holding Leolu with a slightly complicated expression, he probably guessed the reason.

"Let's go down, Kazuki. “

Leolu waved his hand to signal him not to say anything, because Nazi's waveguide was already starting to get a little messy and couldn't withstand such a big stimulus.

Sure enough, no matter how mature Nazi is compared to Ikki, she is just a child after all.

“…… Well. “

Ikki hesitated, but agreed. He's pretty rational in this regard.

When he came to the staircase, he saw the much taller mountain of books, and the corners of Leolu's mouth twitched.

"Isn't Dr. Zhenghui able to clean up? No matter how much enthusiasm for research is high, it can't be like this. This attitude is not at all different from when he was in the laboratory. “

Ikki picked up the books scattered on the floor one by one, stacked them neatly on the wall, and finally cleared the passage that allowed people to pass through, but he didn't find the "culprit" who did it.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I was a little too serious and completely forgot about it, I'll clean it up later. “

Zhenghui suddenly jumped in from the window on the right side of the hall, took off his uniform and roasted near the little fire horse and the fire dinosaur, and kept apologizing to the two.

"Dr. Masaki, where have you been, and how did you jump in through the window?" asked Ikki as he walked downstairs.

"Speaking of which," Zhenghui suddenly smiled mysteriously, reaching into his pocket and fumbling for something, "Come and see, I can't explain it." “

It's strange that Masaaki, who is a researcher, actually has something that can't be explained, and Ikki's curiosity is immediately aroused.

Nazi was not very interested, and walked slowly after putting Leo Lu on the ground.

"This is it!"

Zhenghui handed them a pitch-black shard half the size of a palm. Leo Lu was not tall enough, so Zhenghui had to squat down.

"What is this?"

From the outside, it was just a fragment of unknown origin, neither glowing nor disappearing, and they didn't know what was so strange about it.

"If my theory is correct, this is supposed to be part of some kind of elven body, but it just fell off. “

Zhenghui smiled with interest.

"Elf, which one?"

Kazuki lowered his posture, wanting to see the fragment more clearly.

"I don't know, at least not the kind we know at the moment. “

"Not a known species?"

"Well, so I went outside and looked for clues. By the way, the fragments were found inside the shelves. “

Masaki pointed to the shelf at the end of the wall, where there were no more books, of course.

"And what did you find?" Nazi finally spoke, reaching for the fragment and breaking it hard, but to no avail.

"There are still discoveries, but let's talk about it tomorrow. Good researchers need to keep their heads clear, it's not too early, let's rest, by the way, what's going on with you?"

Ikki and Natsu shook their heads at the same time, they just didn't want to disturb such a poor child.

"Then there's no way, just rest in the hall, there are no people in this barren mountain, not even elves, it should be safe." “

……

It was almost dawn at this time, but Leolu was still awake, and he didn't sleep the whole time.

Looking at the other people, they were still in the midst of a dream, and there was no sign of waking up.

It was still raining outside, the sky was overcast, and the forest was foggy, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Leo Lu slowly crawled out of Ikki's quilt, always careful not to touch Lu Lili, who was also sleeping in a cup, and stood up cautiously.

Relieved, and after cleaning up some messy hair, he prepared to walk up the stairs.

"Are you going to see the kid?"

As soon as he lifted his foot, Leolu heard Nazi's voice. It's just that the melodious and melodious timbre is a little desolate.

"Well, go check it out, I'll be back soon, there are some things that I care about. “

Nazi stared at him for a moment, then buried her head under the covers.

"Then go ahead and stay safe. “

The last half of the sentence was obviously superfluous, but Leo Lu nodded in gratitude and hurried up the stairs.

Without Nazi's help, it took a lot of effort to open the door, but I finally got in.

The cold was still so strong, but Leolu, who was already mentally prepared, was not affected much this time.

Jumping up with force, he landed on the ice coffin with a "thud" and looked at the pale little girl again.

"I don't know if it's an illusion, you're a little like her......"

Leolu shook his head, trying to suppress the sadness that welled up in his heart.

When he looked at the little girl again, he noticed that the girl seemed to have regained a little of her complexion.

“…… Did you see it wrong?"

Rubbing his eyes, Leolu looked back at it in disbelief, and the girl's complexion turned pale again.

Sighing, Leolu smiled self-deprecatingly and jumped off the ice coffin.

"Whatever...... Forget about her!"

Nodding his head as if he had made up his mind, Leo Lu prepared to leave.

However, as his paws reached for the metal handle on the door, a colder breath suddenly came from behind him, and at the same time, a pair of slender snow-white arms like the purest snow reached out from his head and gently wrapped around his neck.

A weak but heavenly voice sounded in his ears.

"You...... Finally, I'm back...... Brother. “
