Chapter 23: Snow Child

At this time, a very peculiar scene is being staged in the painting gallery of the Louvre, a white cat as white as snow jumps like a ghost in the famous paintings hanging on the wall, and a white-haired and red-eyed dog is running in the painting gallery, which is forbidden to pets.

At this point, Gamu had entered a foggy state, and he chased after the white cat like a wisp of white smoke through pedestrians, because of the [presence weakened] Mimu covering, so passers-by could only feel a breeze blowing through him.

How does today's art gallery feel weird and weird, it can't be haunted.

Many passers-by vaguely feel that today's Louvre Gallery is a little weird, but they can't say what is weird.

At this moment, in the shielded vision of passers-by, the wolf-shaped white mist is constantly chasing the ghost in the painting, and the only two people who can see this scene are watching the chase game thoughtfully.

"The movement of the cat in the painting is regular."

Valente, who was watching, said to Xia Xiu on the side.

"Well, the way it moves is the frame on both sides of the adjacent and the diagonal frame of the frame it is currently in, and it moves very fast, it can jump 3 paintings in about 1 second, so it shouldn't have any attack ability." Xia Xiu rubbed his chin with his right hand and replied calmly.

"Aren't you going to tell this to Gam?"

Valente looked at the cat and dog who were still in a state of pursuit, and then turned to Xia Xiu and asked.

"No need, Jiamu has noticed this now, didn't you notice that he has been inducing the other party, the white cat just now has always moved in a random order, but now it is starting to fall into Jiamu's rhythm."

Xia Xiu's golden eyes stared at the two figures chasing in front of him with interest, and the corners of his mouth had curled a little.

"The white cat's next jump is the painting directly across from it, and this is Gamm's chance to do it."

Valente looked ahead when he heard this, and at this time the white cat began to make another portrait jump, and the target of its jump this time was a portrait painting directly opposite it, as Xia Xiu said, and when it began to jump, Cam came to the middle of the two paintings as if he had expected it.

"Meow!"

The white cat humanized and showed a look of fear, and its body rushing forward at this time couldn't stop it.

Facing the rushing white cat, the atomized Jiamu handsomely jumped sideways behind the other party, and then he lifted the atomization and opened his mouth to bite the back of the white cat's neck.

The white cat was successfully caught by Gam.

"Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow! ”

After being caught, the white cat began to struggle desperately, its limbs gesturing vigorously in midair, and Cam came directly to Xia Xiu and Valente in his mouth, and both of them set their eyes on the noisy white cat.

At this time, the white cat had already looked at the two humans in front of it, and it deliberately pretended to be fierce and began to grin at the two of them, but unfortunately its actions did not succeed in deterring the two humans in front of it, and it saw that the golden retriever who had been smiling stretched out his hands and intended to hug himself, so it planned to wait for the other party to touch him and bite hard.

But when the white cat saw the blonde youth's gradually erected pupils, it immediately wilted.

Those snake pupils as bright as gold were exuding an incomparable deterrent.

Xia Xiu held the front end of the trembling white cat with his hand, and then lifted the other party high.

"Well, it's a she-cat."

The blonde youth said after observing, and Valente on the side gave him a direct glance.

"Ignore her gender, any hints [from God's perspective]?" Valente then asked.

"Don't say it, there really is."

Xia Xiu put the white cat full of fear and shame in his arms and lifted it, and his eyes also looked at the updated content of [God's Perspective].

[God's Perspective, Private]: This world is cold and smelly, full of danger and death, and compared to the eternally beautiful art, this world is simply a ball of threads that can never be sorted out.

[God's Perspective, Private]: Snow Child, that's the name of the cat, she's been living in the Louvre's gallery for six years, and it's unknown where she came from.

Snow Child only remembers that she has been living here since the moment she opened her eyes, and the world is unaware of her existence, and she has no friends or the same kind.

Snow Child's only pleasure in the gallery is listening to the chatter of the humans who are looking at the paintings, or listening to the complaints of the staff inside the Louvre about the unqualified travelers and their lamentations about the small things in life.

[God's Perspective, Private]: As a Earthbound Spirit, Snow Child doesn't need to worry about eating and drinking, she doesn't have that need.

Snow Child's life is not infinite, she can feel that she will soon be gone, after all, six years of survival for a Earthbound Spirit of her caliber is already the limit.

[God's Perspective: Private]: Now, Snow Child has a chance, a chance to break free, and this is also a choice for her.

[God's Perspective: The [Dragon Slayer] with the [Barumk Sacred Sword] can cut the shackles of the Earth Bond, but it takes the consent of both parties, so you may be able to ask the other party if they want to make it happen.

When [God's Perspective] finishes playing the background content, the new secondary conditions for the white card are updated.

[Mercy]: Sympathize with the weak, the knight must have a broad and tolerant heart, and the justice in his heart should be the knight's code of conduct.

"Have mercy..."

Xia Xiu stared thoughtfully at the content on the screen, and he told Valente what [God's Perspective] had just updated.

And when the [God's Perspective] screen in front of them completely disappeared, Xia Xiu and Valente heard a soft protest.

"Damn golden retriever, how long will your filthy hand have to jerk off Ben Meow before you let go!"

Xia Xiu and Valente both looked at the white cat named Snow Child, if they heard correctly, the voice just now came from the other party's mouth.

"Abraham, what is this?"

Valente looked at the cat in Xia Xiu's arms with some hesitation, he was sure that the voice just now was definitely not an auditory hallucination, it was definitely from the mouth of the snow child in Xia Xiu's arms.

"Meow, facial paralysis man, don't get so close to this meow!"

A soft cry came from the Snow Child's mouth again, and this time Valente was really sure that it was the white cat in front of him who was speaking.

"It should be a gift from [God's perspective], isn't the protagonist of a fantasy story also able to understand the language of animals?"

The blonde young man replied calmly, he stopped the action of petting the cat in his hand, and then he grabbed the front end of the snow child again, turned her upside down to face him, and then said with a serious face:

"Can you become a human with cat ears?"

Snow Child: ???

"It seems that it can't, so let's change the question, what is your dream?"

Looking at the inexplicable human in front of him, Snow Child couldn't help but complain:

"Does this terrible golden retriever have a hole in his brain!"

"Pss

Valente on the side couldn't help laughing, he was usually expressionless, and there were very few things that could make him laugh, and now this strange scene inexplicably hit his laugh.

This time, Xia Xiu glanced at the other party expressionlessly, and he replied to the snow child.

"How can you, a native cat living in the Louvre, full of art, say such vulgar words!"

Snow Child: "Meow? ”

Xue Zi asked again in a hesitant tone:

"Can you hear Ben Meow?"

"Not only can I understand you scolding us, but I also know your name, Snow Child." Xia Xiu replied with a harmonious smile.

"Really!?" Xue Zi looked at Xia Xiu in disbelief.

Looking at Xue Child's shocked cat face, Xia Xiu couldn't help but reach out and stroke a few more times.

"Come, let's go back to the topic and tell me what dreams or wishes you have."

"Wish Meow?"

"Yes, wish, we will fulfill your wish, take you out of here, and take you to experience the colorful world of flowers outside."

The blonde young man said with a bewitching tone, and Valente, who was watching from the sidelines, always felt strange when he looked at this scene, and he couldn't tell where the blame was.

Snow Child's head is still a little confused now, and her small head now has big questions.

"Really?"

Snow Child has always lived in the Louvre's gallery, so she is essentially a very simple cat.

"Yes, tell me what you dream."

"Dream meow, this meow wants to think about ······"

The innocent snow child really began to recall his dream on the spot.

"Meow, Ben Meow always heard travelers say that in a hall in the middle of the second floor of the Louvre, there is a famous painting that is embedded in the wall, and they all say that the painting is the best painting in the world, Ben Meow wants to see it!"

Snow Child said excitedly to Xia Xiu.

"The painting on the second floor of the Louvre, she should be talking about the 'Eternal Smile'." Valente spoke at this point.

"Yes, meow, it's the painting called 'Eternal Smile'!" The snow child in Xia Xiu's arms exclaimed excitedly.

After making sure that the painting Snow Child was looking at was really "Eternal Smile", Valente mused and said:

"But as a groundbound spirit, you can't leave this area, if you want to see that painting······"

"We'll have to go upstairs and take it down." Xia Xiu took Valente's words.

"Well, that's really the only way."

Listening to the conversation between Xia Xiu and Valente, Snow Child couldn't help but say excitedly:

"Meow, can you really take Eternal Smile down, meow?"

"We'll have to wait until the evening to take down the painting, and we'll only be able to do it at night when there are fewer passengers."

Xia Xiu touched Xue Child's excited head, then looked at the crowd of people around him and said slowly:

"If you want to get the painting, you have to deal with the monitors, the security personnel, the siren."

"Such a troublesome meow."

"It just sounds like a hassle, and it doesn't take much time to actually do it." Xia Xiu replied with a smile.

"Abraham, I don't think you're very experienced with this." Valente, who was listening from the sidelines, finally couldn't help but speak.

How did he feel that this guy in front of him was very familiar with this kind of thing.

"That's your hallucination, I've always been law-abiding, and now petty theft is just for planning." Xia Xiu replied solemnly.

"Wang—"

Jia Mu next to Xia Xiu screamed in a low voice, he couldn't help but scream because he recalled what his boss usually did, his voice was full of too many unique emotions, and he was lightly kicked by his own boss after he finished shouting.

"It's still a little bit before the sun goes down, let's go outside and find a place to eat first, and we'll do it again after the early hours of the morning." Valente then asked.

"Of course there is no problem." Xia Xiu replied.

"Meow, you're leaving!!"

Hearing that Xia Xiu and the others were leaving, Xue Zi couldn't help but be anxious.

finally met a few people who could see and understand herself, and her heart was inevitably a little excited, and now when she heard that the other party was leaving, she naturally couldn't help but start to get anxious.

"Don't worry, we'll be back in the early hours of the morning."

Xia Xiu rubbed Snow Child's head, and then put her back on the ground.

"You wait here for us to send us the paintings, we have to go first."

After landing on the ground, the snow child sat on the ground, she stared blankly at the two people and a dog in the distance, and her eyes soon fell on the glass pyramid outside the Louvre, through which there was an endless sky, a huge city under that sky.

Snow Child can't see the end of the city, she needs to see the end of the world.

··········

AM: 00:02

The glass pyramid of the Louvre.

"Abraham, will Snow Child really come with us after seeing the painting?"

Before starting to pick up the painting, Valente Bernard suddenly asked Xia Xiu, who was following on the side.

Hearing Valente, Xia Xiu couldn't help but look back at the other party.

In the light of the lights around the Louvre, the golden eyes of the blond young man met the brown eyes of the other, and both saw some answers in each other's eyes.

Xia Xiu and Valente, the two are really similar in some ways, and they can always be vaguely aware of something when looking at something.

It's just that Valente can't be as transparent as Xia Xiu, so he is inevitably confused when doing some things.

"It's not like a [dragon slayer] should be confused."

Xia Xiu sensed Valente's confusion, he stopped his steps and said seriously to the other party:

"We're just putting the right to choose in front of her, Valente, you do have the virtues of a knight, you do have [compassion]."

The more time he spent with Valente, the more Xia Xiu understood that the other party was a real knight, and even without that sword, Valente Bernard's soul and essence were as noble as a knight.

"Choice······"

Valente seemed to recall the moment when he held the holy sword.

Yes, choice, all they have to face is choice.

The blond young man had already entered the Louvre in the bright light, and Valente, who had stood in the shadow of the light for a moment, followed suit.
