"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to come so early, and I didn't have time to clean up some of the mess."

Squatting down gently and placing the cardboard box in her hand in the corner, the girl was wearing simple jeans and a white shirt, and her long wavy hair hung down to her waist without any dust. Although her tone was approachable, her voice was rather cold, as if it was a nobility that came from the depths of her soul.

Hey? Noble?

Ian frowned slightly, and glanced at Diana beside him, obviously they were already gods, what kind of person could make them feel noble?

When she was puzzled, the girl wiped her hands with a towel and smiled: "Hello, my surname is Ling, and everyone calls me Little Pigeon." Saying that, he stretched out his hand, and Ian subconsciously shook his hand, feeling cool and smooth to the touch, which made him think of four words, ice skin and jade skin!

"Uh, little pigeon? Don't have a serious name? Ian laughed as he recovered from his amazement.

The little pigeon shrugged his shoulders and seemed to be quite dissatisfied, "Do you think that the name of this kind of rotten street is not suitable for a beautiful and refined beauty like me?" I actually think so, but it is said that my father and mother met because of a pigeon, which is why they gave me this name. I'm also drunk on this kind of parent who only knows that he is comfortable and completely ignores the feelings of his children! ”

Ian looked at the resentful little pigeon and didn't know how to pick it up, so he had to laugh wryly: "That must be a beautiful story, hehe!" ”

"I don't think it's beautiful, at least there's no one before that pigeon is ugly, and maybe there's nothing uglier than it in the future! Hum! The little pigeon said and looked up at the sky, and the embarrassed expression made the two silent again.

After a few seconds, the little pigeon was relieved from his memories and said with a smile: "We didn't expect you to come so early, so the door hasn't opened yet, so please wait for a while." ”

Ian nodded and sat down with Diana in two chairs, but just sat down and paused. "Did you know Diana was coming, too?"

The little pigeon smiled and pointed to the shield, "Even if you are not in a hurry, this girl should be in a hurry!" ”

Ian and Diana were shocked, they didn't tell anyone about the remnant of Athena's soul living in the shield, how did this girl know?

Ian took a deep breath and stared at the back of the girl who was cleaning the house without answering, a faint fluctuation crept over, and he was careful not to be noticed by the little pigeon.

The wave bounced back when it touched the girl's body, but the result made Ian's whole face solemn.

The little pigeon is not a god. She has no Godhead, but she is strong! How strong? Ian doesn't have the confidence to win her!

This is Ian's most intuitive feeling, this girl who seems to be no different from an ordinary girl on the surface, under the appearance, it is like hiding an ancient beast. If you mess with her, you'll be able to tear everyone apart in the next second with their hideous fangs.

Well, the only thing Ian was thankful that the little pigeon's abilities were not suitable for detection in the slightest, and she didn't notice Ian's small movements.

"I haven't been building this place for a long time, so there are a lot of things that haven't been put in place. There is a lot of dust, and no one says to help me, the world is declining, and the people's hearts are not ancient! Why can't you meet those who are helpful? Alas, my slender hands are rough! The little pigeon looked at the back of his smooth and white hand and said leisurely.

“……”

The corners of Ian's mouth twitched, and Diana got up to pick up a broom and clean up the house, how long has it been since he had done such a thing?

Minutes and seconds passed. The antique shop is not big from the outside, but the space inside is a little intimidating, especially around the front hall, which looks like a basketball court in the back.

Ian looked at an antique World War II tank in the corner of the field. If you don't know that space technology is used here, all these years will be in vain!

"Hehe, you have a very wide collection here!"

The little pigeon smiled absentmindedly. "No way, you have to find some hobbies, otherwise wouldn't it be boring to be alone?"

Ian asked, "Why have you always been alone?" ”

The little pigeon thought for a while and said: "It can't be said that it is just one person, but everyone has their own lives and tasks, and the last ten years have happened to be replaced by me on duty, so I can only find something to do boringly." ”

"On duty? Decade? Why are you on duty, and why are you on a ten-year cycle! That's too long, right? I guess there's some super devil or something sealed here! Ian asked with a grin.

The little pigeon rolled his eyes and smiled: "How can it be so exaggerated as you say, you must have read too many bloody comics, just guarding a gate, you will explain it to others later, I don't like long speeches." ”

Ian pursed his lips, looked left and right and found no gates, and continued, "So how long have you been here?" What about the last gatekeeper? Let's go? ”

The little pigeon pushed the cardboard box aside, and then gently lifted the tank with one hand to move over, and said softly: "The last gatekeeper was my senior sister, but she opened a cosmetics store, and the whole house was full of aromas, and the smell took more than a month to dissipate, and my nose was almost rotten." He said with a somewhat complaining tone.

"Why is it that every gatekeeper drives differently?" Ian said.

"Yes, the rule is to change people every ten years, and you can do whatever you want in the past ten years, even if you open a crematorium, no one cares about you. I remember that when my eldest brother came here before, he opened a candy store, and he was the most old-fashioned, and no one thought that he would open a candy store because of the wrong tendons? ”

Ian also nodded amusefully when he heard this, "It seems that your senior brothers and sisters have quite distinctive hobbies." ”

Just when a few people were chatting, Diana felt that the shield in her hand suddenly trembled, and then a cold aura swept over, and Athena's remnant soul appeared again, looked at the little pigeon and said: "I don't know how long the door will be opened, now the world is facing danger all the time, and we don't have so much time to waste." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ian and Diana were shocked, when did Athena start to worry about the country and the people?

The little pigeon was not surprised, one hand supported his chin, and he frowned slightly and thought about it: "Your state really won't last long!" Then he turned around and threw himself into a pile of cardboard boxes again, and took out a wooden statue from it.

The statue as a whole is dark brown, and when Pu took it out, there was a refreshing aroma spreading. I just heard the little pigeon say: "This is a statue made of thousand-year-old sandalwood, and the health effect is wonderful, well, it doesn't matter!" The important thing is that this statue has been on display at the house of King Jizo's sister for several days, which is enough to keep your soul safe! As he spoke, he handed the statue over with a grin.

Ian: "......"

Diana: "......"

Sandalwood? Jizo King's sister? It was also enshrined for several days! Why doesn't there seem to be a reliable word? Anyway, should this statue be accepted?

However, just when Ian and Diana were crying and laughing, Athena directly rushed towards the statue, only to see that the cold aura from the soul suddenly eased, and then slowly disappeared, while the statue wrapped in Athena's remnant soul lost its luster at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into an ordinary rotten wood and fell to the ground.

On the other hand, Athena seems to have evolved into a solid, and her originally illusory form has become more three-dimensional and clear. Ian gasped, could this be so immediate?

Athena breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the little pigeon again, "My soul is stable, but I still lack a body, you see......"

The little pigeon waved his hand impatiently and interrupted: "Okay, okay, like you said, now that the whole world is in crisis, how can I have time to care about your." Wait, it's just a matter of raising your hands anyway! ”

Seeing this, Athena was anxious, but she didn't dare to push too much, so she obediently retreated into the shield. And Ian and Diana were stunned, Athena's remnant soul was very weak, and she didn't even dare to come out with a shield for a long time, but the problem that couldn't be solved was solved by someone else, and this ability is not available in the whole of Asgard, right? Are they in the wrong place?

Just when Ian was confused, the little pigeon suddenly laughed and said, "It's time, get ready to go!" (To be continued.) )
