039 The Curse of the Hort (2nd Watch)
"Under my careful guidance, she grew into a very good woman, and I successfully obtained the coordinates of the planet from her."
"Sleep her every day, play with her, and give her advice when she receives her first love letter." Feng Ling chuckled: "I sometimes think that she is my first child. β
"She said something to me that touched me deeply, she said, sister, you really shouldn't live in a dollhouse, you are so good."
Feng Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded approvingly: "He is indeed a good boy." β
"You know what?" Feng Ling said seriously: "When the empire took in Huo Xing, it encountered resistance, because the Hobbis refused to hand over the Hotte people as pets. β
"In the end, it was the Empire's promise that the Hots would not be pets, but would be fostered in the homes of other citizens as citizens of the Empire, and that they could fire their employers, the Hobbis, at any time, so they gave up resisting."
Feng Xiang nodded: "I know about this matter, at that time, the emperor stars were crazy, and everyone was proud to have a pocket-sized and cute Hult. β
Feng Ling's face showed a bit of melancholy: "In fact, although the empire promised them that they would no longer be pets, they have become accustomed to living as pets - to please their owners and make them happy. β
Feng Xiang shrugged his shoulders: "I've seen someone else's ...... These docile and well-behaved little ones are indeed cute. β
Feng Ling's beautiful face showed a little hesitation, and he stopped talking, Feng Xiang saw the struggle of his old friend, and took the initiative to persuade: "It's inconvenient to say, don't say it." β
Feng Ling's expression suddenly relaxed, she really had the urge to vomit just now, but now that she calmed down, she was afraid for a while - Feng Xiang must not be involved!
What she wanted to say was that before she returned to the empire, she left Katyusha her communication channel code, and after returning to the empire, with the empire's conquest of Huo Xing, she began to be afraid again, afraid that Katyusha would rush to her and point at her nose and scold the invader-
Year after year, day after day, Katyusha never appeared in front of her, and as she continued to descend, the imprint that Huo Xing had made for her gradually faded.
Just when she thought she had forgotten about Katyusha completely, an unfamiliar communication request approached her.
It was Katyusha's granddaughter, telling her that Katyusha was in a dying state and just wanted to see her again.
Although it has long been known that compared to the long lifespan of the long-lived species, the life of the short-lived species is like the morning dew of the rising sun, which is fleeting.
But really facing the death of a familiar short-lived species, she knew how shocking this gap was - you and I were as old as you and me back then, and now I am still in Fanghua, but you have become a lonely soul!
At that time, Feng Ling was supposed to make an important spiritual descent, and it was the man she should call her father who personally arranged it for her.
In the end, because of Katyusha, she entrusted this spiritual mission to Feng Xiang.
When she crossed the galaxy through the portal of the empire and came to Katyusha, the latter was already dying, with only her last breath left.
Feng Ling looked at Katyusha on the bed, and couldn't believe it, this gray-haired, skinny-skinny old woman was the little girl who was jumping around and her face was red and fluttering, like an apple.
The first time Katyusha saw her, she smiled: "Sister, you are as good-looking as I thought." β
Feng Ling's tears flowed down at once, she grabbed Katyusha's hand and opened her mouth categorically: "What do you want?" I'll help you make it happen. β
Katyusha's cloudy eyes looked at her, but her gaze was unfocused, and it seemed to pass through her, looking at the infinite cosmic starry sky, and said softly: "I have only one wish, let the Hots lift the curse, and like the Hobbits, have the life they want." β
"I've worked hard for this wish all my life, and now, only you can help me continueβ"
She smiled, stuffed something into Feng Ling's hand, and muttered the word sister repeatedly, and passed away suddenly.
Feng Ling's tears were completely out of control, and she knew that the sister in Katyusha's mouth was both her and not her.
Katyusha admits that she is the childhood playmate, but deep down, what she misses, is always that pocket-sized Hult!
What kind of great friendship does it take to make one person, for another, work hard for life?
I don't know how long it took for Feng Ling to calm down a little, and in Katyusha's last words, an alternative word also came to mind-
Curse?!
Feng Ling raised her hand, in the palm of her hand, it was a leather carved disc, the disc was not large, only about three centimeters in diameter, on which a simple pattern of the reverse pentagram was drawn, in the five corners of the pentagram, there were four horns, were painted with goat horns, reverse cross, Ouroboros, and the scale.
Behind the disc, there is a strange line of text, concise, but beautiful and abnormal, so that people are reluctant to look away after a glance, but after looking at it for a long time, it is like a whirlpool, as if to permanently suck people into it.
At that time, she did not know the meaning of this line of writing, because this kind of writing was not among the tens of millions of words known to the Empire.
Now, of course, she knew, it was a demonic phrase that meant - gain, must first lose.
The memories came to an abrupt end, and Feng Ling's heart swelled with bitterness - that disc was the beginning of all things, and it was the culprit that caused her and her mother to fall into that strange world one after another.
But if she was asked to choose again, she would still choose to agree to Katyusha's request!
But she will be more cautious and more careful!
Feng Ling retracted his thoughts, noticed his friend's bored look, and couldn't help but reach out and knock on the table: "Okay, it's time to get down to business, have you read the banquet list I have drawn up?" β
Feng Xiang looked at his girlfriend with a look of surprise: "This kind of trivial matter, you can decide it alone." β
Feng Ling's face darkened: "Then what are you asking me to come out for?" β
Feng Xiang blinked, and announced in a righteous manner: "I want to eat the ice cream of this shop, and it's not interesting to eat alone, of course I'll make an appointment with you!" β
Feng Ling: "...... Do I want to tell you that your opinion of me has dropped to negative! β
Feng Xiang raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile: "I can pretend not to hear." β
What if your best friend puts down all her body in front of you and has no face and no skin?
Of course, it's spoiling her, spoiling her, or spoiling her!
Feng Ling shook his head helplessly, his middle finger curled, and gently tapped the silver metal table in front of him, and in the next second, a translucent electronic projection screen slowly rose between the two.
Interestingly, the translucent projection screen allows them to see each other clearly, but when they look at each other towards the projection screen, they can see the menu at the same time - no one is looking at the reverse menu.
