Chapter 75: The Coercion of the Following
How to face an angry mother?
Li Ang couldn't find an answer for the time being, so he had to come to the third layer of the fungus net with a worried heart.
The scene in front of me changed to the cave where the laboratory was located, except that there was no giant baby ball, and the cliff walls were flanked by white translucent crystals.
There are no other memories in sight, and the only purpose is to imprison Miranda.
Leon went deeper, and Eva rode on top of him, happily playing with his hair, as if it were fun.
The steps leading to the lab were still there, but the lab was gone.
In its place is a circular stone altar.
"Miranda? The Great Mother Goddess? Leon stood by the altar and cried out.
In the next second, a pile of black liquid gushed out of the center of the altar, like muddy mud in a swamp, and a body wrapped in black feathers slowly floated up from it.
"You still have the courage to come to me, Leon."
Miranda was still dressed as a majestic Mother Goddess, with a sacrificial robe, ribbon, and black wings, but this time she didn't wear a golden beak mask.
"I said we're not done yet, ready to accept death"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly saw the little girl riding on Li Ang's head, her expression instantly froze, and immediately became ecstatic again.
"Eva. My daughter? ”
She seemed to be a little unbelieving in her eyes, and her voice was trembling as she spoke.
Eva looked up in hindsight and shouted in surprise, "Mom! ”
She jumped off Leon and threw herself into her mother's arms: "Mom, I miss you so much. ”
Miranda carefully stroked her daughter's cheek, tears uncontrollably falling from the corners of her eyes.
"My daughter, my dearest and most beloved Eva, and my mother misses you too. You'll never know how long your mother waited for this moment. ”
The memories of her daughter she found in the fungus net in the past are all scattered and unformed, and she can't even communicate simply, where is like now, she will call her mother, she will hug her, almost no different from a living person.
"Eva, tell Mommy, how did you end up like this?"
As soon as Miranda saw her daughter, she was so excited that she forgot about Leon not far away.
Eva remembers, she turned and pointed, "Daddy found me." ”
"Daddy?" Miranda's face was full of doubts, and her eyes wandered around, finally focusing on the third person besides their mother and daughter.
Leon smiled, "I wanted her to call her uncle, but she didn't agree." ”
"What did you do to my daughter!" Miranda pulled Eva behind her and angrily spread her black wings like a mother beast guarding a calf.
Leon didn't answer, silently taking a big step back.
Eva behind Miranda was immediately pulled forward by an invisible force.
"Daddy?" The little girl knew she couldn't get too far away from her father, but she wondered why she was doing it.
She was answered by Leon's emotionless voice: "Eva, come to me." ”
The order was successful, and Eva obediently walked up to him.
Miranda was stunned by this scene: "How did she become like this, what the hell did you do to her?" ”
Li Ang touched the little girl's head and said, "I helped you find your daughter's memory, don't you plan to say thank you?" ”
Miranda was furious when she heard this, and instantly turned into the form of a fungus beast and pounced fiercely towards it.
"You vile, nasty and shameless villain! Give my daughter back! ”
Leon picked up Eva and easily dodged her pounce: "I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time, but I don't seem to need to do it today." ”
"Eva, what should you do when your mother is angry?"
When the little girl heard this, she stood directly between Leon and Miranda, and began to cry with her mouth open.
Miranda was suddenly in a mess, hurriedly changed back into human form, hugged her daughter and comforted: "Don't cry, don't cry, mom is here." ”
Li Ang was silent until the mother and daughter quieted down before saying, "You are a smart person, you should understand the current situation very well. ”
Miranda's face was pale, but she had to bow her head and ask through gritted teeth: "Say, what can I do so that you can give my daughter back to me." ”
Leon then informed her of the idea of upgrading the mold, and described in detail the characteristics of the black light virus.
Even if there is no physical comparison, just by words, Miranda can already sense how dangerous the black light is, and can't help but sneer: "Insatiable man, you will die on this sooner or later!" ”
"At least I'm alive now." Leon looked indifferent.
Miranda pondered for a moment, "I'll help you upgrade the mold, but it will take time, and Eva will stay with me in the meantime." ”
Li Ang flatly refused: "Impossible! When will you come up with the results, and when will I bring Eva to meet you. Don't try to play tricks, Mother Goddess. ”
"You've been waiting for her for a hundred years, and hopefully you don't mind waiting another hundred years."
"I just don't know if our poor little Eva can last that long."
As soon as Miranda thought that her daughter's memories would dissipate over time, she felt like a knife, and immediately changed her words: "I promise!" I'll say yes to whatever you say! ”
"But I do need time, give me a week, and I'll give you a satisfactory answer."
"Plus, I need your blood and some of your body tissue."
The fungus net is a magical place, it is very idealistic, as long as the authority is high enough, there is full faith, it can manifest anything, including things that do not exist in this world.
Li Ang used administrator privileges to reconstruct a biological laboratory according to Miranda's requirements, with various research equipment more comprehensive than before, and also simulated the general form of the black light virus.
Although there is a virtual appearance, it is enough for testing.
After doing all this, in order to let Miranda better serve him, Leon deliberately let Eva stay for a while, and finally left the third layer of the fungus net in Miranda's reluctant eyes.
Ordering Eva to turn back into a mushroom, Leon heads to the second floor to pick up Donna, the puppeteer.
Donna had a great time with her parents, listening to them tell her a lot about her childhood, and her father taught her how to make a puppet, and the family of three was happy.
Seeing Li Ang come in, although she was reluctant in her heart, she still said goodbye to her parents sensibly.
"Goodbye, Mom and Dad, I'll see you next time."
"Let's go."
When the two of them left the old mansion, Donna suddenly asked curiously: "I noticed just now, how long have we been apart, so long that mushrooms have grown on you." ”
As he spoke, he reached out to help him pluck the mushrooms off his shoulder.
Li Ang couldn't laugh or cry, stopped the puppeteer's little hand that was about to move, and explained the reason.
"Miranda also has today, she deserves it!" Apparently Donna was still haunted by what had happened before.
When I woke up from reality, the root vine of the fungus owner had disappeared, indicating that the initial transformation of the mold had been completed.
Now it's up to Miranda.
After a moment of warmth with Donna, Leon returned to the castle with the crow cage.
On the way, he was still thinking that he would help two miserable families reunite in one day, and his merits would be immeasurable, and he would be worthy of enjoying the Taimiao!
