Chapter 14: Jialan
"Long time no see, cousin Li Lan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Outside the house stood a lovely girl, dressed in a Lolita-style black dress, black leather boots on her feet, two scarlet eyes on her delicate fair face like those vampires who specialize in sucking the blood of virgins, and a delicate little top hat on her head - she was like a girl who came out of those cosplay post-processed photos, delicate, beautiful, her beautiful red eyes were like two bright red gems, almost glowing.
That's right, she is the girl in black that Hiro saw on the Oriental Pearl Tower, the witch who made the wizarding world tremble, she is Li Lan's cousin - Jialan Standing.
Looking at the slightly raised corners of her mouth and the two shallow pear vortices on her face, she seemed to be smiling, and she seemed to be expressionless.
Li Lan calmed down instead, and a sense of familiarity came to her heart.
He intimately rubbed the black hair on the girl's head and said, "Jialan, we really haven't seen each other for a long time." ”
Seeing Li Lan's action, Hiro gasped, thinking to himself, master, that your flirtatious methods could not be used on Jialan, but he saw that Jialan actually let Li Lan stroke her head without any reaction, like a well-behaved and cute kitten.
Is this still the same Jialan Standin who blocked the gods and Buddhas and blocked the Buddhas?
"What's the matter with your strength?" Li Lan sensed that something was wrong, although the girl in black in front of him still had a magic power as far away as the ocean, but in Li Lan's memory, Jialan's magic power was not just an ocean, but a vast and brilliant galaxy above his head.
Jialan walked into the room with her suitcase and pointed to an object around her neck.
Only then did Hiro and Li Lan discover that she actually had a leather collar around her neck—which looked like the collar around the neck of many pet dogs, full of erotic feelings.
Some wizards in the wizarding world would trade with each other to trade with slave girls, and those slave girls would often wear these collars and look like domestic pets, but Hiro couldn't imagine such a thing appearing on Jialan's neck.
In his eyes, Garan Standin is Satan, the demon god on the earth, even if the Japanese Self-Defense Forces crush all the way to Washington, and Shinzo Ampei rides on Trump and shouts "Pippi, let's go", it is impossible for Garan to be put on a collar.
Li Lan was slightly stunned: "Stella Forbidden Demon Collar, why does this thing appear on your neck?"
Stella Forbidden Demon Collar is a chicken rib artifact that has survived from the ancient times of the Standing family, and it is a metamorphosis upgraded version of the Forbidden Demon Collar, which is worn on the neck of a monster or a human being, which can seal the connection between magic and the outside world.
In layman's terms, it's magically silent, and for wizards, once they wear it around their necks, it means becoming an ordinary person.
Li Lan and Hiro didn't understand why this kind of shackles used by the Standing family to restrain the captives of the strong would now appear on Jialan's neck, with Jialan's strength, if she didn't want to, who could let her wear this thing?
"I put it on myself. Jialan said expressionlessly, "The head of the family and the elders said that my strength is too strong, and if I don't pay attention, it is very likely that the whole of Shanghai will be destroyed along with my brother, in order to restrain the power, I myself agree to wear it." ”
"But you still have magic. Li Lan asked her.
Jialan said quietly: "Because the forbidden demon collar can't completely restrain me. ”
Both Hiro and Li Lan understood the hidden meaning of her words - she was too strong, so powerful that this kind of weapon against wizards could not restrain her, even Stella's Forbidden Demon Collar could not completely isolate her magic from the outside world, and even Hiro guessed that if Jialan was willing, she could easily break free from the shackles of the Forbidden Demon Collar, and let the world recall her horror again.
"How long are you going to live in Shanghai?" Li Lan showed a look of pity in his eyes, he knew that when a strong person suddenly lost his strength, it was like a person with excellent eyesight who woke up and found that he had become 800 degrees of myopia, it would make people almost collapse.
"I don't know, the elders said I could stay here a little longer. Jialan said calmly and looked at Li Lan, "Brother, what do you mean, how long do you want Jialan to live here?"
"Stay as long as you want. Li Lan took the suitcase and helped Jialan carry her luggage to the house.
Hiro squatted on the sofa in the living room and came to a conclusion: Jialan is a brother control, and the control happens to be his cousin Li Lan.
Hiro's memories of his rebirth are quite vague, and he has no impression of the Standing family, so in a sense, he is indeed meeting Jialan for the first time, and of course Jialan should have seen him in the past.
"Hiro. Jialan looked at him and whispered hello.
Hiro also raised his paw at her and said hello, he no longer has the initial fear of Jialan, on the one hand, because her earth-destroying power was limited by herself, and secondly, many of his impressions of Jialan came from Li Lan's description and the scales and half-claws in his memory, although those descriptions were not false, but when he saw it with his own eyes, this so-called witch demon in the wizarding world did not have demonic horns, black flesh wings and pointed tails on her back, and there was no trident in her hand.
In Hiro's first impression, Jialan is just a gothic Lori with a cute face but no smile, about thirteen or fourteen years old.
Jialan sat down on the couch, and Hiro took the initiative to climb onto her bouncy thighs.
The girl in the black gothic skirt and the black cat are really a wonderful match.
Lying on Jialan's slender thighs, Hiro raised his head and looked at the girl's beautiful side face and the cold lines on her face.
From the time she was at the door to the present, her face has always maintained this calm look, and Hiro felt as if she was wearing a mask on her face, hiding all her emotions underneath, and always quiet and indifferent on the surface, just like a person without emotion, and she couldn't even hear the ups and downs in her words - only when facing Li Lan, the curves on her face would soften a little, but that's all.
She is a beautiful girl in the anime, with no expression, no emotion, and no talk.
Hiro didn't expect that he would actually be able to meet such a girl in real life.
No matter what, life still has to go on, even if there is a girl demon king with sealing power in the family, Hiro's daily life does not have many ups and downs, neither waking up when the Huangpu River floods the whole of Shanghai, nor is there an overwhelming number of papal knights coming to crusade or looking for death - of course, breakfast has to be made for one more person.
The next morning, Li Lan went to school to teach or went to school on a snowy night as always, but what was different was that it was not only Hiro who stayed at home, but now there was also a girl in black, Jialan.
Jialan sat on the sofa with an expressionless face, looked at the "Witch Doctor's Handbook" that she casually took out from the study in her hand, and after a few glances, she was not interested - she had already understood all the contents of it a long time ago, and the obscure witch doctor's manual in Li Lan's eyes was simply a children's enlightenment book in Jialan's eyes.
Hiro lay on her lap and watched as she tossed the witch doctor's manual aside, then turned on the TV, desperately changed it, and then turned it off in disappointment.
He proposed, "Why don't you go for a walk?"
After the proposal, Hiro wanted to slap himself, although Jialan chose to seal her power, but this still can't change the fact that she is powerful and terrifying, let such a humanoid murder weapon on the street? Jialan will not have any mercy for life, maybe the next day Shanghai will be destroyed in pieces, and the air is filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke that permeated after the war.
"Good. Jialan got up.
Walking on the street, Hiro lay on Jialan's shoulder, clearly and clearly felt the hot gaze around him, after all, such a delicate girl was wearing a black dress with a very different style from ordinary people, and there was a cat on her shoulder that was also black, which was too eye-catching, and this little girl's eyes were still bright red like blood, which was easily reminiscent of cosplay at a comic convention.
More people care about the outstanding appearance of the girl, the beautiful girl is eye-catching at all times, and even a few young people like little hooligans whistled.
Thankfully, Jialan didn't care about the reactions of the people around her, and Hiro didn't know if she was magnanimous or really didn't care about the eyes of others, thinking it was the latter, after all, dragons didn't care about ants' actions.
Glancing at the few little ruffians who were still unconscious after the ghost gate was closed, Hero and Jialan walked around the street, at this point in time were pedestrians going out to work, taxi drivers angrily scolded the congested fast lane, the alleys of the community were all breakfast sellers Auntie greeted Jialan warmly, and some little girls who looked like they were only eight or nine years old with a schoolbag on their backs would open their eyes and look at Jialan's red pupils and the dark dress, as if they had seen some strange person.
There was some noise ahead, and Hiro saw with his own eyes that the big Mao Ermao and Sanmao of the rogue three cats were hanging three live fish and escaped from a restaurant, and the angry chef was chasing after him with a spatula, just like Tom in the cat and mouse chasing Jerry, the chickens and dogs jumped, attracting the sideways glances of passers-by.
"Very interesting city. Hiro was speechless to the three wild cats when he heard Jialan's whisper, "I like it a little bit." ”
