Morning, December 25, 2010.

The sky at the University of Chicago was still cloudy at the moment.

In addition to the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the trees, the only sound in the campus is the breathing and movement of those who get up early for morning exercise.

In a clean bedroom in a high-rise building in the accommodation area, a slender girl is sleeping in a white sheet.

In a bad sleeping position, the quilt and sheets were completely messed up by her, and her arms, calves, and half of her shoulders were exposed, as well as her overly delicate face.

Under the faint light from the window, her skin seemed to have a white jade-like texture, looking warm and cold.

At that moment, a pair of eyes opened from the dimly lit room.

I saw a green laser beam shoot out of its eyes, slowly sweeping over the girl's body, as if it was checking something.

It was a black spherical object on the desk, slightly larger than a baseball, and it had two ears sticking out when it opened its eyes.

They say they are ears, but they are actually two oval pieces on the surface of the sphere, protruding behind the surface, and two rings of green light flashing through the gaps.

It moved silently, using the steering wheel on its belly, around the table full of snacks and idle books, to the edge of the desk, and then fell headlong.

It's like an off-road vehicle that doesn't brake at all in front of a cliff.

"Xiaoqiang! Jack bauer! What happened to you? Jack bauer! ”

"Xiaoqiang! You can't die! Ahhh ”

"Xiaoqiang! Jack bauer! What happened to you? Jack bauer! ”

"Xiaoqiang! You can't die! Ahhh ”

The moment he hit the ground, the spherical creature began to scream.

To be more precise, it is playing Stephen Chow's line crying about a cockroach in "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" at a very loud volume.

But the sound is according to Stephen Chow's Chinese version, and the accompaniment actually has more noisy huqin small drum gongs.

It's like a funeral for a certain family, and it's like Kaifeng Mansion is going to be promoted.

"Ahhh

The little goddess got out of the bed in a frenzy, and then jumped out of bed and chased the spherical guy barefoot.

And the spherical guy seemed to be even more excited by this.

I saw it running around the house, playing Xiaoqiang as it ran, and you came to catch me!

This thing is an alarm clock, and Su Xiaoqiao thinks that this is probably the cheapest one in human history.

It doesn't have the ability to delay the ringtone for five minutes at the click of a button.

Instead, it just rolls around the room and plays someone who doesn't know where to find it.

If it doesn't catch it, it will probably be able to toss around like this until the battery dies.

The specific Su Xiaoqiao hasn't had time to practice yet, because she can't last that time at all!

Wearing a black nightdress, Su Xiaoqiao stepped over her big bed, and with a few flutters, she chased to the bookcase by the window.

But the alarm clock was not idle, and it shot a green pathfinder beam from its round eyes and quickly bypassed all kinds of obstacles.

It wasn't until Su Xiaoqiao habitually made a perfect sideways jump that she grabbed this extremely noisy alarm clock.

Pulling the battery off it, the constant small sound of the alarm clock finally stopped.

"Damn, it's a holiday today, how could I forget to turn it off at this time!"

Throwing the alarm clock into the corner of the wall in a huff, Su Xiaoqiao turned around and wanted to get back into the warm quilt.

It's just that after the series of chase battles just now, she is completely sober.

In other words, now she has no desire to sleep at all.

"In a way, this thing is really effective."

Not knowing whether to be happy or sad, she scratched her head fiercely.

Soon after waking up, Su Xiaoqiao still walked to the corner and bent down to pick up the cheap alarm clock, and then put it on his usual desk.

After staring at the alarm clock for a while, Su Xiaoqiao still didn't understand how it could be designed like this.

Yes, this little alarm clock that she loves and hates is the Christmas gift that Lu Mingfei gave her a few days ago, and it doesn't hurt to send it in advance.

It is said that this is a good thing he found in the field, and it can provide a good wake-up service for people who can't get up in the morning.

The alarm clock was sent by a group of strong men in suits who made Su Xiaoqiao look terrified, and it was placed in a white box with no decoration, no logo.

Although it doesn't look very valuable, it's generally well done.

At least it looks cute, and it pokes Su Xiaoqiao's point very much.

When she started to receive gifts, Xiao Tiannu was still very happy, she thought that this was proof that Lu Mingfei would think about her when she was away.

As a result, after the alarm clock rang once and kept running away from himself.

Su Xiaoqiao understood what Lu Mingfei gave her.

Talisman, this is Su Xiaoqiao's honorific name for it.

In this way, Su Xiaoqiao experienced an emotional change from love to hate for this alarm clock, but in the end he was helpless to accept it.

Not to mention its long-term use, this alarm clock is actually quite good.

For example, it is very sturdy, and it does not break when she falls wildly every day, and it works normally.

"But it's still hateful!"

After Su Xiaoqiao shook the beautification of it out of his mind, he rushed into the bathroom in a huff to wash up and put on makeup.

Today is Christmas, and as the new school flower of Chicago, she has naturally been invited by countless people.

Whether it's a man or a woman, they want to invite them to their party as a way to show their connections or whatever.

But she rejected all of this.

There is no other reason, it is purely that Lu Mingfei invited her, saying that he would spend the evening with Senior Brother Chu and Xiao Xia Mi.

So she spent two hours today painting what she thought was an extremely delicate look.

"Hmm" After putting on makeup, he glanced at the time, and found that it was not yet noon, Su Xiaoqiao said to himself, "It's still early, I can pick a gift slowly." ”

After speaking, the little goddess changed into a gray lining and a beige long-sleeved windbreaker.

After putting on white slacks and fixing her hair a bit, she left school with her bag.

Because today is Christmas, she has to prepare a gift for Lu Mingfei.

I heard that there is a girl who has a birthday today, so Su Xiaoqiao will go and buy more.

In the humming happy singing, she had already picked out a gift for Lu Mingfei and the girl in her heart.

Well, by the way, I brought Xiao Xia and Senior Brother Chu's.

As for the others, Su Xiaoqiao said that it was not her fault that she didn't know her, and she could only buy a batch of the same gift and send it over.

On Christmas Eve 2010, the streets of Chicago were filled with Christmas trees and reindeer statues.

In front of every mall, there are small gifts from Santa Claus to the children, and every restaurant is promoting Christmas Eve dinners.

Boys and girls held hands, girls walked through the streets holding roses grown in greenhouses, and even the wandering singers in the subway station sang Christmas tunes vigorously.

In this atmosphere, a villa-style building also began their Christmas activities.

"Mingfei, the Christmas tree seems to be a little crooked, you go and move it.

Xiao Lu, the hanging ornaments by the window have fallen off, you go and tie them tightly.

And, Mi, you go hang Christmas stockings on the fireplace. ”

At night, in the garden of the villa, Susie observed the decoration of the house and directed the people.

In the living room, a tall Christmas tree is set in the center, the lights flicker like shooting stars, and all kinds of colorful decorations hang all over the branches, they shine in the light.

Hearing Senior Sister Susie's command, Lu Mingfei just took a few steps forward, and with a little force with one hand, he moved the tall Christmas tree to the designated position.

Lucia, on the other hand, re-tied and fastened the trinkets to the window as requested.

At the same time, Xia Mi stood on a chair, supported by Chu Zihang, hanging red Christmas stockings above the fireplace, embroidered with the words "Merry Christmas".

"That's it!"

After glancing at his work with satisfaction, Xia Mi clapped his hands and jumped off the stool.

"The clothes you're wearing today aren't suitable for such an action."

Glancing at the blue dress skirt on Xia Mi's body, Chu Zihang couldn't help but remind.

"Really?" Natsumi turned her head, blinked her eyes and whispered, "Then I'll change it next time." ”

"Hmm."

did not investigate whether the other party said to change it next time or dare next time, Chu Zihang, who was familiar with the other party's style, just nodded silently.

"Everyone is done, then all that's left is to pick up customers."

Susie smiled and walked out of the kitchen with a steaming turkey in her hand.

In addition, Zero and Lucia, who were wearing white and gold dresses and silver dresses respectively, also walked out with food.

Under Susie's command, the table was soon filled with a variety of delicacies.

On the other side, Lu Mingfei, who had nothing to do, leaned on the sofa and looked out boredly through the small decorations posted on the window.

At this time, almost a month had passed since the attack of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and Odin.

After Lu Mingfei and Elisabeth Laurent explained the situation here, the other party accepted the proposal and carried out a coalition of the two school trustees with Su Enxi.

They used this to exterminate the remnants of Solomon's Temple and other dark organizations.

The whole process can be said to be quite smooth.

Under the war machine formed by the two school trustees, it only took them about twenty days to clean up the remaining stains.

By the way, they also received all their assets and experimental materials.

After that, it's time off for a long time.

Because Su Enxi and Jiude Mai completed the task arranged by Lu Mingfei very quickly, they can relax in various ways until January of the next year.

Without hesitation, the two chose to camp with Lu Mingfei and Zero for three days, and the two left after they had enough.

Lu Mingfei won't talk about the welfare clip in the middle, the important thing is that during this period, he learned about some things about the Eight Snake Families from Su Enxi's mouth and the information left by Lu Mingze.

For example, all the half-bloods of the Eight Clans, which nominally belong to the Secret Party but are in fact self-governing, are descendants of the legendary White King.

On the other hand, the same is true of the fierce ghosts who have escaped from it.

And Ruri Kazama is the number two person in the fierce ghosts.

In addition to these, there is also a special point of the White King bloodline, in every era, there will always be half-bloods whose dragon blood exceeds the 50% threshold and can still keep themselves awake.

These half-bloods are generally called emperors, and their counterparts are extremely evil ghosts.

Therefore, Ruri Kazama will have the mythical spirit of Yagi.

At the same time, Lu Mingfei suddenly understood what Eri meant when she said to herself that she was sick and her family didn't let her go out.

To be precise, Erika is not sick, but her bloodline is too high and she is easy to get out of control, so they restrict her freedom.

In Su Enxi's words, about the White King's bloodline and the emperor, only she and Ange should know about the few people in the secret party.

As for why Lu Mingze didn't say it before, he didn't let Jiude Mai and them talk about it with him.

According to Su Enxi's statement and Lu Mingfei's speculation.

It should be that Lu Mingze thinks that the level of the Japanese battlefield is too high, and with Lu Mingfei's previous strength, it is better to follow the script he arranged.

It wasn't until Lu Mingfei showed his evolving strength that Lu Mingze decided to hand over the script to Lu Mingfei and let him write it himself.

"After seeing that I was semi-completely virtualized, I dared to hand over Japan to me, what kind of scale will the war that Lu Mingze said be?"

Lu Mingfei leaned back on the sofa and thought.

"Today's meal looks hearty, I guess it's my Susie who did it right!"

His thoughts were broken, and Lu Mingfei followed the voice and looked out the door.

Chen Motong, who was wrapped in a down jacket over the red dress, was smiling and pasting with Susie, a good roommate.

Caesar, who was wearing a white suit, strode to Lu Mingfei's side with open hands, looking like he wanted a warm hug.

Lu Mingfei, who knew what the other party's personality was, could only hug him helplessly.

In fact, in addition to celebrating Zero's birthday, this Christmas together is also a private gathering of friends.

It was only because of Caesar's suggestion that everyone came in beautiful dresses and suits.

Among them, the villa was provided by Su Enxi, and the banquet was led by Lu Mingfei and hosted by friends of the Lionheart Club.

In addition to them, Lancelot, who was dressed as a waiter, and Su Xiaoqiao, who had not yet arrived, were also on the list.

As for the Fingal guy, he said he was going back to his hometown to see his grandmother at Christmas, so he didn't come.

But these are not important, the important thing is, why hasn't the little goddess arrived yet?

Just when Lu Mingfei was about to go out to take a look, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded outside.

The next moment, two beams of white light shone on the open door of the villa from the outside.

"What the hell?"

Caesar turned around and looked in amazement at the direction the light was coming from.

As you can see, it was a truck carrying a container.

"Master, just unload the goods here!"

A beautiful girl in a beige trench coat and black red heels greeted.

After seeing Lu Mingfei who appeared at the door, she waved happily at Lu Mingfei.
