Chapter 13 Reading the needle
Karina's surveillance puppet needs to be activated with one condition - at least the butler's room and the surrounding area must be walked, and the more areas you pass, the greater the range that the puppet can monitor.
So in the next few days, the two of them, accompanied by Mi Ji, went almost everywhere they could, as long as they didn't beat the enemy's Hakka host's residence, other unimportant places were unimpeded.
After the conditions were met, Karina returned to the house to set up the doll, while Lucy accompanied Mi Ji to play electric in the hall. This was done both to attract most of the covert eyes, but also to get some information.
I have to say that compared with an otaku like Mi Ji, at least in terms of game talent, Lucy is not an opponent at all. Even if the little fat man has released the water, the characters he controls are still defeated.
"Failure, failure!"
As the character's last block bottoms out, Lucy drops the handle and picks up a fruit that resembles a grape from the fruit bowl next to him and throws it into his mouth. looked at the happy Mi Ji, and asked casually:
"Speaking of which, your brother is almost two years old, isn't he?"
As soon as he said this, the smile on Mi Ji's face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he pulled out the game card sullenly and replaced it with a new battle card: "Hmm...... You don't even notice it, that guy has been here for more than a year. ”
It was more than a year since his brother's birth that Mi Ji felt that his status in the family had plummeted - although no one had cared about him before that. The most tangled thing is that my mother stays with my brother almost 24 hours a day, and the sick care makes him not even have a chance to vent his hatred, so he can only bury his resentment in his heart.
"It's called Oddtooth, isn't it?" Lucy handed over a piece of sliced watermelon and comforted, "They just haven't been able to discover your talent in another place, wait a few more years, and I'm sure the situation will get better." ”
After chatting with Mi Ji for a few words, he asked his true intentions intentionally or unintentionally: "Do you have any other brothers besides Qiya?" ”
Mi Ji didn't doubt that he had him, and swallowed the watermelon in one gulp: "Well, I have a big brother, I have already told you before." He went out on a mission a few days ago, and he was about to come back after calculating the time. In addition, I have a fourth brother, who was born a little later than Qiya......"
"Oh?" Lucy's hand holding the handle tightened, and then quietly continued to control the fighter on the screen to avoid the oncoming meteorite, trying to make his voice as smooth as possible: "What's his name, why haven't you heard it mentioned?" ”
His name was ...... He called ......" Miji's tongue froze, he frowned and thought hard, the strange thing is that it was like the memory in his brain was dug out of thin air, and he could only remember the existence of such a fourth brother, but the detailed information was nothing.
His mind went blank for a long time, and he looked at Lucy with a pale face: "I can't remember!" ”
Lucy narrowed his eyes at the strange performance, and then, after receiving a reminder from the Eye of Kilrog outside the door, he turned his head to look out the door.
A young man with long flowing hair leaned against the door, staring at the two of them with his dark and dead pupils.
"What do you want to say, ridiculous?"
"Smack!"
After hearing this, Miji's whole body seemed to have lost his strength, the handle fell to the ground, and he turned back tremblingly: "Big, big brother!" ”
"Answer me, ridiculous." The long-haired young man walked slowly towards the two of them, and with each step, his face became more and more pale. In his eyes, it was as if a demon was walking towards him, trying to devour his whole person.
At that moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder, and a warm breath poured into his body, dispelling the fear in his heart.
"For your second brother, there's no need to scare with thoughts, right?" After blocking his eldest brother's malicious anger for Miji, Lucy got up and looked at the visitor: "I heard that Miji often mentioned you, is it the first time to meet officially, Ilumie?" ”
With long and silky hair and a neutral appearance, the family of the enemy haters looked at Lucy expressionlessly, and couldn't hear any emotion in his words: "You are?" ”
Miji stammered: "Big brother, this is my ...... Friend, I invited him to come to the house ......"
"Shh Holding a finger to his mouth, Ilum turned his head to look at Miji: "What are you talking about, Miji, I heard it right, the word friend appeared from your mouth just now?" ”
"I ...... I ......"
Seeing the hesitant performance, Illumini frowned slightly, it seemed that he had not been cared for by his family for a long time, which made his second brother have a different mind.
Although he is just a fool who can't even learn how to read...... But he is also a member of the family, and it is necessary to correct his mistakes......
So, he said in an unquestioning tone: "Funny, you are a killer, and a killer can't make friends, because friends will only get in the way!" ”
"Now you're just under the influence of outsiders," Illumi stretched out a hand and walked up to him uncontrollably, letting that hand fall on top of his head, "When I kill this man, you will understand, just follow my father's orders to kill people, you know." ”
Just as Illumi looked at the second brother who was cowering and didn't dare to say anything with satisfaction, a chuckle rang out in the hall:
"I see, your desire to control is really strong!"
Illumi's pupils shrank, and a confusion flashed in the eyes of the original honest puppet, and then he came to his senses and found that he had walked to the eldest brother at some point, so he was so frightened that he quickly pulled away and hid behind Lucy.
Lucy's fingers gently rubbed a silver needle, and even if it was out of the host's head, the thoughts on it still seemed vibrant, and it wanted to burrow into his hand. A "click" pinched the silver needle in half, and Lucy looked at Illumi playfully:
"Using this means to control your own younger brother is this, is this the education of the enemy family?"
No wonder he can't remember about his fourth brother, it turned out that he was planted by Ilumie...... Strangely, from the comics, it can be seen that Miji also knew about the existence of Aluka, and used the life of the butler to make a wish for him, but now he is forbidden to contact Alugar and cannot reveal any information...... Seems to be because of my influence?
Seeing that the chanting needle he had inserted in his second brother's brain was taken out, Ilumi's hand froze in mid-air, even if he didn't pay attention to Lucy's movements just now, but the speed was ......
"It's really embarrassing," he slowly put away his hands and looked at Lucy carefully, "I don't know when I have such a powerful friend?" ”
Hiding behind Lucy, he whispered, "His name is Lucy, and he is my best friend!" "I took off the chanting needle, and even my courage with him increased a little.
"Yes," replied noncommittally, Illumi's attention was entirely focused on Lucy, and he was stunned when he saw the badge on his shoulder, "Death Rose?" ”
Luxi tilted his head: "I didn't expect the eldest son of the Hakka family to beat the enemy also knows, it seems that the organization has been quite successful in the past few years." ”
"Ah, you've robbed you of a lot of orders recently, and you've investigated it." The killing intent on Illumi's body suddenly dissipated, but Lucy could feel his qi rise even more intensely: "Just in this mission, I also met a person from your organization and fought with him a few times. ”
"The result?" Lucy asked curiously.
"I didn't tell the winner, because I had a task on my part, and I just tried it." Ilumi sighed, "It's a tricky guy, it takes a lot of effort to kill." As he spoke, he took out a reading needle from his shoulder: "By the way, I saw a number of thirteen on that guy's badge, is it your organization's strength ranking?" ”
Lucy stood in place and watched unmoved as the other party took out his weapon: "Although the ranking does not necessarily represent strength, it is okay for you to think so." ”
Holding the needle, Ilum put on a strange pose, and his thoughts instantly became demonic, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour. He stared at Lucie and said word by word:
"So, what's your ranking?"
Reaching out to push Miji away, attaching telekinesis to it, Miji unconsciously retreated to the corner, and Lucy took a quick look at Karina's room.
It's still a little time away, and until then, we can't be affected in any way!
Turning his head and looking at Ilumi, whose whole body was shrouded in distorted thoughts, Lucy smiled slightly:
"Is my ranking, it's just a sequence five!"
