Chapter Twenty-Seven: Alice's Little Secret
Everyone in the world likes to crave something, but it is difficult for everyone to get what he wants.
As Rick felt like he was about to fall asleep with Audrey Hepburn-looking Baby, another brand-new Pandora 2.0 on his right bedside table, smaller than a teaching machine, flashed with a red glow, and familiar and refreshing music played throughout the room.
I don't know how long it took, but Rick, who had been interrupted from his dream, opened his eyes in annoyance, turned over and picked up a nightcap adorned with blue stars from the bedside table, put it on his head, and whispered two words.
"Log in."
Rick's eyes change to the world, and Rick's bedroom becomes a Jogeneiro-style living room. Rick looked up, and he found a beautiful lady in a small red jacket and tight black shorts sitting on an orange single sofa, looking at him impatiently.
"Good evening, beautiful and charming Alice. Oh no! What have you experienced in Brazil, how can you not see you for a month, you are more beautiful. ”
Alice O'Brien's no-go expression was a clear sign that Rick was upset that he was late.
But Rick seemed unaware, and after admiring Alice's beauty, he sat down directly across from Alice and casually picked up a goblet from the round low glass table between them, and some kind of black drink appeared in the cup out of thin air.
"Neurotic, you still need a goblet to drink Coke?"
Alice clasped her hands to her chest, rolled her eyes, and complained about Rick's vulgar taste with a disgusted expression.
"Alice, I didn't say you, it's time for you to change your old ideas. Who made the goblet can't be coke? We cannot allow the nihilistic aristocratic superiority to limit the emergence of new ideas. ”
Seeing that the cup in front of Alice was empty, Rick gave Alice's cup a cup of strawberry milk tea, which was Alice's favorite drink.
Seeing that Rick remembered her favorite, Alice's grim face finally softened, and she silently raised her glass and took a sip with her flaming red lips.
"Tell me, ask me to come to see you, is there any trouble?"
"Poof! Why is strawberry milk tea hot, don't you know that it is very difficult to drink when it is hot? You didn't mean to. ”
Alice spat out the milk tea in her mouth and questioned Rick with an angry face.
"Didn't you come to the eldest aunt these two days? Cold drinks cannot be drunk during this period. ”
Rick looked at Alice with a serious face, his expression innocent and revealing his love for Alice.
"Idiot, we're in the virtual world now, what's wrong with me drinking cold drinks? I'm fine with an iceberg. ”
Alice felt that Rick was angry with her, angry that she was disturbing his rest.
"No, no, no. There is also a chance that the virtual world will affect the real world after being stimulated. The magic net is not perfect enough, and there are many factors that we don't know......"
"Okay, even if it has an impact, it won't make me menopausal tomorrow. I'm calling you here because there's something I have to let you know. Alice interrupted Rick's nagging. Hurriedly explained the purpose of contacting him.
"Huh?"
Rick's originally smiling face became a little solemn, and he placed the goblet in his hand on the glass table, motioning for Alice to continue.
If even Alice can't solve a problem, then it must be very serious.
"There's a wizard who travels around the world all year round, and his name is Biden. This morning in the bar of the hotel, I heard him tell the bartender about his life and death in Europe. In it, he said that somewhere in a forest in Albania, he had encountered an extremely evil, very dark and invisible monster.
Out of curiosity, I gave him two zhuo pots and asked him to describe the characteristics in detail, which I thought would be a rare Murphy. But after listening to the old Biden's description, I realized that it was definitely not silent.
So I concluded that it was a very rare creature, a creature that was even more terrifying than the obscure and unknown to the world. ”
"So, you want me to help you catch him and put him in your magical creature viewing garden? I thought you had a problem in South America that you couldn't solve. ”
Alice said this, Rick already knew what she wanted to do, although it was not the silence of her heart, but this dark creature that had never been recorded also aroused Alice's desire to collect.
Everyone in the world has some kind of collecting habit, some people love stamps, some people love antiques, just like Cod is obsessed with all kinds of ties, Alice also has her own collecting habits, which is to collect all kinds of magical creatures.
Rick knew about Alice's fetishes early on, so every time he completed a mission for the Magic Congress, he would bring one or two local magical animals to give Alice.
Over time, Alice's Magical Creatures Viewing Garden has gathered thousands of magical creatures unique to all parts of the Americas, including the second symbol of Ilvermorny, the Thunderbird and the Longhorned Water Serpent.
"Uh-huh, you help me get it back. I promise to do whatever I want. ”
Seeing that Rick didn't pay much attention to it, Alice instantly turned into the appearance of a good girl next door, and her eyes looked at Rick with pure and innocent eyes.
'I'm going to die! ’
Looking at Alice's killer move, Rick's heart is refusal, it really refuses.
But the body knows best what he thinks.
"Alright, alright. Put away your bad disguise, I'll just say yes. If you do this again, I'll throw up. ”
"Cut, don't all old innocent people like you like this tune?"
No more bickering with Alice. At this time, Rick's description by Alice evokes some vague memory fragments in the depths of his mind, and when he tries to piece these vague memory fragments together into a complete and clear memory, he fails.
"Immensely evil, very dark and invisible monsters? Forest? Albania? Alice, this dark creature isn't as simple as you think. I seem to have learned about its existence somewhere, but forgot. When I get back to Hogwarts, visit Newt Scamander and see if he understands this invisible creature of darkness. ”
"Okay, but you have to get it back, even if it's a Boggart."
Seeing Rick's thoughtful expression, Alice was a little flustered inside, although Rick had never refused her request, she was still afraid that he would push her off for some reason.
"Don't worry, even if you want the second generation of the Dark Lord in Europe. I'll give this dog's life and help you get it back. ”
Looking at Alice's rare little girl look, Rick showed a wicked smile and then joked.
"Whoa, the Dark Lord isn't cute at all, I don't want it." Hearing Rick say that she should catch a Dark Lord, Alice refuses with a look of disgust.
