Chapter 28: The Mask

"Little dove? Who is it? ”

Huh?

I glanced back when I heard Er's words, and then turned around silently, yes, isn't it exactly the same as the little dove, I don't believe there is such a coincidence.

"You said it was the little girl I boarded before, right? Probably because she had been in her body for too long, it was affected. ”

"Oh no, it's exactly the same, okay?"

"I was seriously injured when I came to this world, and in order to preserve my strength, I found a person who was better with me as a host, but I didn't expect to sleep like this for three years."

"Host...... Is that a dove? Does she know you exist? "The day after I signed the contract with Er, the little dove suddenly came to the neighbor's department, and then he stopped coming. It felt a little strange before, but I didn't think much of it.

"I don't know, I haven't had any communication with her. But I can't say for sure, while I'm asleep, some of my memories may circulate into her dreams in the form of images. ”

With a soft voice, the barefoot Doe slowly walked up to me.

"I'm scary?"

...... Although it's a little scary in every sense.,But in the face of this body, I have a sense of confusion.,Obviously just now it was a weird non-human creature.,Suddenly becoming a beautiful girl is hairy!

With my head down, I could see E's smooth calves and slender white feet, although there was some seduction, but the charm in my heart disappeared instantly when I thought that she was the same dark strange cat before.

"Not really, huh...... Why is it suddenly like this? ”

"What does this look like? After all, I used to be human too, is there a problem with reverting to this posture? ”

"Can you get rid of your clothes and change them out...... "I used to play games with the little dove like the big brother next door.,Although the naked body I'm facing now isn't the little dove himself.,But there's still a sense of guilt, okay!

"Why, that's troublesome."

Do you not wear clothes because of trouble? Is there any common sense?

"But...... Don't you feel a little embarrassed, after all, you're a girl now, and I'm a boy. ”

"I see, would you be shy about a woman's body?"

...... It's great that you understand, not shy, but pretty much the same. If you're a human, you can't treat her like a monster anymore, so let's put her on first.

Just as I was thinking this, Er said, "That's okay, right?" I looked up happily, and then I saw a scene that I will never forget.

Instead of swishing out a set of clothes to put on, as I expected, Er ...... I stared blankly at the bulge of mystery that appeared beneath her.

"What have you done! Hurry up and change me back, I can't look at you anymore, okay!! "I fell to my knees and almost vomited blood.

Yes, he became a man, but the ghost thing is that this guy only turned the part under his body into a man.

I had serious doubts about Er's remark that "I used to be human too."

After a few minutes, the mentally exhausted drama finally came to an end, and Er didn't change into a cat as I suggested, but just turned back into a female dove, and her petite body felt more like a skirt in my shirt.

"Didn't you say you were going to give me something? What is it? ”

Er stretched out a hand, and the black swirl-like thing condensed in her palm, slowly turning into a small black ball, and I watched with bated breath.

"This is what I promised you, the alien energy from the abyss, and your dark attributes are very commensurate with this one."

"Sounds like a secondary two, but ...... What the hell is the dark attribute, I'm a good young man who is honest and kind. ”

"It's just that the color of your origin is black, although it's rare. By the way, in your certificate of reincarnation, where did those golden origins come from? It took me a lot of time to get rid of that...... Forget it, you shouldn't know. ”

...... Inexplicably, what black gold.

"Here you go."

"Oh, oh!" I reached out and took the so-called xenomorph energy, and the moment it touched my skin, the black became one with me...... No, it was fused with the card in my body, and through this black energy, I seemed to have spied on the magical card that sent me into this world, and it was in my body, in the consciousness space formed independently in my body.

A sense of flesh and blood arose between me and the mass of energy, and I felt like I could control it at any moment.

As soon as my mind moved, thin black threads like cobwebs appeared around me, changing shape with my imagination, turning into flames, rabbits, and suddenly into a long sword, and finally into a long black bandage, which automatically wrapped around my right hand.

"Huh! Please call me Dark Frame Master! I struck a pose that I thought was handsome and said in a deep voice.

“......”

"Did you control me just now?"

I had a cold sweat on my forehead.

"Not really, but what is a Dark Frame Master?"

"Oh, it's nothing, ahaha, haha......" The black bandage hid into the skin, retracting the deep expression just now, I don't know why I suddenly committed a second crime, thinking that the little dove seems to be a middle two disease, I can't help but wonder if it's a ghost.

"It's better not to use that thing too much in this world, otherwise it will slowly become weaker."

Er said with a serious expression I'd never seen before.

"Weakened? Why? "It's really itchy to suddenly get such a nice toy, if you don't use it too much.

"It's a very poor world, probably ...... This one has already been plundered, so every time you use it, your xenomorph energy will be diluted a little. ”

In that case...... "It is natural that something with a high concentration will spread outward when placed in an environment with a low concentration." It's just that I suddenly thought of a possibility.

As she said, she is much weaker now than when she first came to this world, so how much power has she lost from the level where she could easily destroy the world to what she is now?

She couldn't leave this world without the card called the Certificate of Reincarnation, so it's no wonder she chose to sleep as a way to save her strength.

"Is that why you're leaving this world?"

"That's right, you're thinking fast, you're not just a dumb piece of waste."

...... That's how you see me?

"But that's not the main reason, although my power is constantly draining, this loss will stop after a certain point. The more dangerous factor is the ...... of this world"

As for why the world is more dangerous, no matter how much I ask Doom, he won't tell me anymore.

After that, I talked with Er for a long time and learned a lot of new things. After retelling me not to use the power she gave me unless necessary, Dore stepped into my shadow.

It's a bit strange to say, she stepped into my shadow like a foot into a dark hollow, so I couldn't help but touch my own shadow with my hand to see if I could put my hand in it...... Of course I can't help it, it seems that Ertete is capable.

In order to prevent the loss of power from any further, she will continue to reside in my shadow until the interval between the use of the Reincarnation Certificate is over.

I finally understood what I meant by "presented in a dream", because I had a dream that night, I don't know if it was the same as the dream of the little dove three years ago, I saw a certain world from I don't know how many times ago, it seemed to be a large forest in ancient times, and there lived an existence that was called a demon king by the world, and the demon king and his daughter lived together, from the perspective of Er...... She seems to be a maid?

The memories are very fragmentary, and the faces inside are always blurry.

————————————————

The sky was breaking, and as the first rays of sunlight shone through the window, someone in the bed who was still sleeping soundly opened their eyes.

"What a dream."

Jiang Lan sat up and walked slowly to the window, facing the warm and comfortable sunshine, Jiang Lan's fingertips flipped over, and suddenly there was a card in her hand.

A small half of the transparent card has been dyed black.

"I'm Jiang Lan, and the initial contact with the target has been completed, and I have temporarily gained the trust of the other party." Jiang Lan didn't know who he was talking to, and if someone was watching, he would only think he was talking to himself.

"I see...... Continue to help me shield me from the Lord's surveillance...... Also, lower my reincarnation certificate authority a little bit, the power of this lovely maid lady needs to be further weakened, otherwise she won't tell me more information......"

"Hmph, I don't need you to stress that...... You just need to keep your promises! ”

......

"Operation Witch Hunt...... As originally planned. ”
