Fingal's incident made a lot of noise, thanks to a group of brave and combative paparazzi under his command, and in less than half an hour, the whole school basically knew that he had asked someone to customize an adult...... Message from the mannequin.

When a drunken cowboy learned about it, he called a man who hated iron and steel, and scolded and wanted to throw his treasured roster in Fingal's face, but because of his status as a teacher, he couldn't do anything to be sorry for his apprentice, so he could only call and spray this stinky boy with blood.

Although I know that your kid hasn't been back to his hometown for a year, you don't have to use this method to express your homesickness. Germany has not cleaned up this thing since its defeat in World War II, and it is the small days and old beauty that inherit the mustache's legacy and carry it forward.

In fact, the old cowboy didn't think that the other party would do anything unsightly with the mannequin, and it was most likely as he said that he would use it as a model, but this kid was really rough, and he didn't do any hidden measures, so everyone knew about such a private thing, and even the guy in Ange specially asked a few words.

And Fingal is a bitter heart, although he secretly reached an ulterior deal with the old man of Angers, ready to transform from the pride of the sky to a waste wood defeated dog, but his plan is not at the cost of his own reputation, this time he will be fiercely predicted who can withstand wow!

"Xia Gou, you are simply not human!"

Under the strange eyes of countless classmates, Comrade Shufen pushed the box upstairs with a sinking face.

Fortunately, the prestige he accumulated in the past will not be wiped out in one fell swoop because of this little thing, and his classmates just didn't dare to ridicule him.

Back in the dormitory, because the senior who slept with him had joined the executive department to look for dragonblood creatures all over the world, and the school had not yet arranged a new roommate, so he was the only one in the four-person room at the moment, and he could rest assured that he could boldly open the box without worrying about revealing any secrets.

The moment the door closed, the gloom on Fingal's face vanished and turned into an unconcealed excitement.

In fact, when he heard the little brother say that this was a mannequin, he realized what the red envelope Xia Di gave him was.

The unscrupulous author claims to be a deviant alchemist, and he will inevitably venture into the realm of souls and alchemical golems, which are considered taboo in half-breed society.

Nicholas Flamel, the vice-rector of the Kassel Academy, is the first person in the field of modern alchemy, and when he first entered the school, it happened that the other party was starting to build the academy's artificial intelligence "Norma", and his girlfriend happened to be a student who was highly valued by the old cowboy, and participated in the construction of the artificial intelligence with his mentor.

It's a pity that she was going to go to the place where people could freeze to death in the ice and snow, and she was never able to participate in the follow-up work, and the old cowboy hid in the basement alone to complete the construction of "Norma", and also made another personality "Eva" based on her.

When Fingal saw the girl he had dreamed of again, he was mad enough to take her into his arms, but all he touched was nothingness, and his girl stood quietly in the beams of light, with a faint joy in her eyes.

She said that her name was Eva and that she was another personality of Norma.

At that moment, the lone wolf man was enveloped by boundless and endless grief, and he didn't want to believe that he had really lost that girl.

The old cowboy later tells him that the personality is just a backup of Eva's memories during her lifetime, and although she remembers the bits and pieces of what she experienced with Fingal, it was just a fake picture made of code, and all the responses she made were the best results of the personality system's calculations.

He said that he didn't have the ability to intercept the girl's soul and make it into an electronic life, and he couldn't break the Abrahamic Blood Pact, at most he could do that.

But even so, it made Fingal's tormented heart feel much better.

However, whenever he saw the girl's smart and affectionate gaze, he couldn't help but wonder if the old cowboy was lying to himself, in fact, the great Flamel secretly used forbidden alchemy in order to continue the life of his beloved, but he didn't explain the truth for fear of being caught.

He didn't know if it was his own delusion or simply to escape the cruel reality, perhaps only by being washed away by the long river of time could he blur this unrealistic idea.

It wasn't until later that he went to the mysterious country in the East, where he was caught by an unscrupulous dragon king who was addicted to human games, and not only saw what the god of alchemy was, but also signed a contract with the other party that seemed to be equal but actually worked hard for him.

Although the unscrupulous author had customized a special puppet in his own name, and had made a point to shout it out for everyone to hear, Fingal reluctantly forgave the other party's prank for the fact that it was really useful to him.

After unpacking and checking, he huddled in his dorm room and waited for dark, even though rumors were already circulating on the forums that he had been obsessed with dolls and hadn't left the house all day, but there was still no response.

In the dead of night, he took the box and slipped all the way into the basement of the library, bypassing surveillance and patrols.

At this point, the busy staff in the basement has left, the security system has entered a dormant interval, the cameras are no longer working, and his entry will not be recorded by anyone or anything.

And the one who did all this was the college's artificial intelligence Norma.

"You're back, what's the matter?"

The cold female voice sounded in the basement lit only by the faint light of the computer screen, and compared to Eva, Norma's voice did not have much emotional color, like a big sister who was on business.

"I haven't seen you for almost a month, and I miss it." The man gently placed the box on his shoulder on the ground and pulled over a swivel chair to sit down, his eyes shining with joy in his eyes.

"You should have wanted Eva more." Norma's words were a little incomprehensible, causing the man to chuckle, and he slightly changed what Norma said to herself in the past:

"So what do you care about appearances, whether it's Norma's personality or Eva's personality, in the deepest depths, you or you."

"Don't copy my words."

Fingal chuckled, tuckled his long silver-gray hair behind his head, and touched his chin that he had just shaved: "Enter the Eva Personality Activation Program." ”

Norma snorted softly when she heard this, and then the huge screen in the middle of the basement dimmed, and only a vast number of red and green lights were left in the darkness flickering wildly, and huge personality data poured into the super host, as if the sea water was pouring into a river.

The lights flickered tenfold at a tenfold speed, getting faster and faster, until they finally controlled the rhythm of the entire basement at an almost insane frequency.

Suddenly, all the lights went out and the basement was plunged into absolute darkness.

Fingal sat up straight, staring at the beam of light that fell in front of him from overhead.

Fluorescent fragments fell like snowflakes in the beam, and a translucent girl appeared in the center of the beam, floating half a meter above the ground, her waterfall-like green silk hanging down to her feet, but the tips of her hair floated without falling to the ground.

"Welcome back."

The girl in the silk dress has her hands behind her back, a pair of bare feet stepping in the air, her upper body leaning forward slightly, and a shallow smile on her elf-like pretty jade face, like a virtuous wife waiting for the return of her beloved.

"I'm back, Eva." Fingal stretched out his large, bony hand and stroked the girl's cheek, and Eva narrowed her eyes cooperatively, as if enjoying her lover's caresse.

It's just that the boundary between the virtual and the real can't be crossed, Eva opened her eyes, looked at the man who was not as decadent as before, and asked curiously: "Did the mission go well, I think you seem to be happy?" ”

As an all-pervasive artificial intelligence, she had known everything about Fingal when he submitted his mission report, and she only wanted to hear what he really thought.

Eva knows that her boys like to keep things to themselves and show the best for themselves.

"There's not much to say about the mission, that's all." Fingal shook his head, not wanting to recall the fear of being dominated by that unscrupulous writer, he patted the box at his feet and said mysteriously, "Do you want to guess what's here?" ”

He knew very well that everything that happened in the dormitory building today was watched by the girl, but he didn't worry about being misunderstood at all, because she knew herself the best in the world, and knew that she wouldn't like that kind of boring thing.

And as he expected, Eva didn't look angry at all, but looked down at the label on the box: "What is it, a gift for me?" ”

"Hey, guess." After getting along for more than half a month, Comrade Shufen was also contaminated with a little bit of Master Xia's cheapness.

"You're naughty again, little Fingal."

The girl stretched out a hand, as if trying to pinch the man's cheek lightly as before, but the hand reached halfway and retracted it, pulling the falling strands of hair behind her ears, and a trace of loss flashed in her eyes.

She really wanted to feel his warm embrace again, wanted to be held tightly by him for more than ten hours and didn't let go, and wanted to be sucked hard by him...... But with the way she looks now, everything can only be delusional.

Fingal, sensing the girl's fleeting loss, did not continue to sell it, but opened the wooden box, revealing that it was carved with black and red patterns, inlaid with gems and crosses, and was as gorgeous as the sleeping coffin of the vampire queen.

"What is this?" Eva inexplicably felt that something here seemed to be important to her, as if she had recovered a long-lost heartbeat.

"It's a gift for you and for me." Fingal smiled and opened the wooden coffin, which contained a puppet as clean as white jade.

The puppet's body is flat and featureless, and its head also has no facial features, except for a mysterious pattern painted on its forehead, like a phoenix reborn from the flames soaring above the nine heavens.

Eva stared at the pattern, and with a ghostly gesture, she stretched out her illusory index finger and tapped it lightly.

The moment the girl's translucent index finger touched the phoenix pattern, something unexpected happened.

The illusion of light and shadow created by 3D imaging technology actually lit up the fiery red phoenix pattern.

Fingal seemed to hear a sharp phoenix chirp in his mind, and then he saw the gorgeous coffin suddenly shatter and reorganize, turning into countless tentacle-like mechanical arms, directly plunging into the supercomputer containing massive personality data.

Suddenly, the dark basement began to flicker red lights, and the beams of light projected from the ceiling began to flicker and flicker, and the girl's figure became a little distorted.

Seeing this, Eva thought that these things were invading the academy system, and before she could ask Fingal what was going on, her eyes began to appear in the rapidly changing data stream, as if she was fighting for control of the system with some unknown being.

"Zizi-"

The machine in the basement made a strange noise, and Fingal looked at this scene with a sense of déjà vu that lured a wolf into the room, as if a neighbor next door during World War II bowed his head and said "Sir, this way!" While leading the way for the Germans.

However, the academy's defense system has not yet sounded the alarm, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Fingal looked at Eva's flickering figure like a frame, and felt a little nervous, but at this moment, he could only silently pray that the red envelope given by Master Xia would be reliable, otherwise he would become the number one villain in the Kassel Academy since the new century.

"Buzz ——!!!"

The supercomputer hummed loudly, and then all the flashing red lights went out, and Eva's figure stabilized again, but there was still a frenzied stream of data in her eyes.

Fingal's eyes kept on the illusory girl, not noticing that the phoenix nirvana pattern on the white jade puppet's forehead was flapping its wings regularly, and countless fine red lines spread towards the puppet's torso and limbs, its flat figure slowly became more undulating lines, and the white jade-like surface began to have a flesh color and skin texture.

"Boom!"

The robotic arm connected to the supercomputer was forcibly ejected, and then quickly contracted into mid-air to form a black and red ring, which was placed on the middle finger of Fingal's left hand.

Fingal felt a little uncomfortable with the burning sensation of the ring, but he didn't rush to take it off, because he found that the white jade puppet that was lying on the ground slowly floated up, and its whole body was covered with fine lines like magma, so that he couldn't see the details clearly.

The temperature in the basement began to rise sharply, and even Eva, who was checking to see if the system had been breached, noticed it, and one eye returned to normal, watching the puppet floating in mid-air turn on the cooling function.

"Knock~Knock~Knock~"

The two looked at the white jade puppet's forehead fluttering wings and flying fire phoenix, and faintly felt the sound of a heartbeat coming from the puppet's chest, Fingal's eyes flashed with countless excitement and ecstasy, and they pressed their hands to feel whether the heartbeat was real, quietly waiting for the miracle that would happen next.

The next moment, a dazzling red light enveloped the entire basement, and Eva's illusory figure was swallowed by the red light, and there was still a bit of disbelief in her eyes before the figure dissipated, as if the computing power was overloaded and the server went down.

"Woo ——!!!"

A high-spirited phoenix roar exploded in the basement, and Fingal rubbed his eyes, which were almost blinded by the bright light, trying to seize the time to regain his sight and see what was going on.

However, before he could put down his hand, a small hand that was slightly cold, but soft and delicate to the touch, grabbed his firm and powerful arm.

Fingal was shaken, and his vision instantly recovered.

He looked down and saw the figure of the midnight dream standing quietly in front of him, the girl who was always translucent floating in the air was stepping barefoot on the ground at the moment, wearing a fiery red coat, and when she reached out to touch herself, there was a faint spring light, and her skin was fair and flawless.

But Fingal just looked at the girl's starry eyes stupidly, feeling the concern and warmth inside, and his eyes were filled with tears at some point, and quietly slipped down his resolute face.

Eva watched the tall and burly man cry silently like a child, the pity in her eyes increased, she held his cheeks with both hands, and gently wiped her tears with her thumb, and said softly:

"Don't cry, I'm back."
