Chapter 232: A Little Monster That Can't Speak

"When will my brother come back......

In the Japanese-style room, there is a small figure sitting in a duck position, holding a gamepad in his hand, and a pair of big eyes reflect the dim light on the screen of the game console.

The long-haired swordsman in a white sleeveless martial arts uniform has his back to the screen, holding the scabbard in his left hand and showing his face unruly, and the word "VICTORY" slowly pops out of the picture after the long knife is returned to the sheath.

This is a fighting game released at the end of the last century, called "True Samurai Shodown: Overlord Pill Hell Change", which is a sequel to "Samurai Shodown".

After the former fighting overlord "Street Fighter 2" stepped down from the altar, the fighting game market was once sluggish, and it was not until the emergence of "True Samurai Shodown" that the fighting game boom was set off again.

It stands to reason that few girls like such a hardcore fighting game, but the little girl sitting in front of the game console is a big fan of it.

Because this is a game that she and her brother often play, and it is also a game that she has never won against her brother, so the little girl will often play against the computer, trying more skill combinations, hoping to defeat the powerful brother one day.

Before the next game began, the little girl mentally calculated the time, and estimated that in another half a round, the caretaker would notice the abnormality, hurried over to interrupt her game, and persuaded her to go back to sleep with a humble and fearful low attitude.

The little girl's body wouldn't allow her to play games in the middle of the night, and neither would the person in charge of her care and her brother allow her to mess around.

But after waiting for a while, there was no sound of the door opening, no footsteps in the hallway, and it seemed that the caretakers and doctors had fallen asleep.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, and was thinking about playing another game, and then going back to sleep, but the dim room suddenly lit up with incandescent light.

The light dispelled the darkness, illuminated the spacious room, and revealed the little girl's cute little face.

The girl was dressed in a crisp white nightdress, and her long, silky dark red hair was draped behind her, and the tips of her hair were already touching the carpet.

The forehead that is not covered by bangs is smooth and round, if you let the fortune teller see it, you will inevitably get the last sentence "Heaven is full, and you are rich and noble".

The girl's skin is soft and delicate, her long eyelashes tremble slightly, her red eyes flickered with a little panic, the tip of her nose turned slightly upturned to look playful and cute, and her pink cherry mouth opened slightly and seemed to be almost frightened, but fortunately she couldn't help but didn't shout, otherwise this floor would probably become a ruin.

The girl, who had been in the safe house for as long as she could remember, and had never been frightened in any way, moved her little jade feet slightly, and turned her head to look at the switch that controlled the lights at the door.

I saw a very tall strange man holding his arms against the wall, with a subtle smile of "catching a little naughty egg".

The girl tilted her head, as if she had never seen this person in the medical team and the nursing team, and there was no fear or cowardice in the other person's eyes as if she was looking at some kind of terrifying monster, only a heartfelt pleasure.

Although in the eyes of many people, she is an emotionless monster, but in fact she is still a monster with superpowers, and can faintly perceive the emotional changes of the people around her.

Unfortunately, since her brother left, all she could feel was fear.

"Hey, look what I found." Xia Di, who changed into casual clothes, leaned against the wall with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth: "A bad boy who doesn't sleep at night and secretly plays games." ”

The expressionless little girl quietly stared at the stranger who suddenly appeared in her room quietly, her brilliant red eyes seemed to be carved from the best glass of the craftsman, and the whole person was perfect as if it were a puppet, the fly in the ointment was the lack of a little vitality, and she would feel hairy after being seen for a long time, which was one of the reasons why those caregivers did not dare to get in close contact with her.

But obviously, this guy who came out of nowhere was an exception, not only did he not feel like a man on his back, nor did he feel like he was frightened, but he just stretched out a hand and rubbed his smooth chin, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was intimidating the little girl:

"Disobedient children will be arrested by the police uncle, what should be done with the disobedient and naughty bad boys, how about handing them over to the police uncle to spank their ass?"

This childish speech would probably be considered a nervous disorder if other children listened to it, but the puppet-like little girl seemed a little nervous when she heard it, she put down the game controller with the label on it, picked up a pen and paper from the side and wrote a sentence, and then turned the white picture book with beautiful handwriting to Xia Di's side.

"Eri is not a bad boy."

There was still no expression on the little girl's sad and joyless face, but in those glass-like eyes that would only change with the light from the outside world, there was a faint sense of seriousness, like a delicate doll endowed with a soul.

"Really?" Xia Di became interested, put down his arms and stepped forward slowly, his smooth feet stepping on the soft and comfortable carpet without making a single movement.

Stopping only half a meter away from the little girl, Xia Di sat on the ground, put his feet together, and gently shook his body like a tumbler with his hands on the ground: "Then how do you prove it?" ”

The girl named Eri blinked, as if stopped by the question.

Because of physical reasons, Eri has almost no chance to go out, and she doesn't communicate with outsiders, and she understands the outside world almost exclusively through games and anime.

Therefore, her mental age is far younger than her actual age, her mind is not mature enough, she has no clear understanding of the world, and she belongs to the kind of simple children who are pure to black and white, good or bad.

She looked down at the game controller on her lap, with a label on the smooth plastic shell that read "Eri Cloth Game Controller", and a label on the drawing book, pen, and game console next to it, with "Eri Cloth Picture Book", "Eri Pen ", and "Eri Cloth Game Console" written on it.

Almost everything in this room is labeled "Eri Yi のxx", which makes her look like a very possessive little girl.

Eri remembers hearing this sentence when she was watching TV before: A good child should share toys with other children, and should not be a selfish bad boy.

But she had no one to share with, and she didn't like to share it with others, so it was only natural that she labeled her toys and belongings, telling others that they belonged to her.

So, is she a bad boy?

Eri fell into a little entanglement, but the stranger next to her, who had troubled her, did not feel guilty at all, and reached out to take the gamepad on her lap while she was stunned, and played the game by herself.

The slightly dull eyes widened instantly, and the little girl looked at Xia Di in disbelief like a cat that had been robbed of a ball of yarn, and looked at Xia Di in disbelief as she controlled the Overlord Pill Pain Flat Hattori Hanzo, as if she was surprised why this person was so bold.

Even if her brother wants to play games with her, he will ask softly, and he won't touch the gamepad until he gets her permission.

Picking up the paper and pen, Eri Yi had a cold little face and wanted Xia Di to return the game controller to her, otherwise she would be angry, but when her eyes swept over the game console, she was deeply attracted by the flashing picture above.

I saw that the overlord pill let out a roar of Shen Xiong under the control of Xia Di, and the starting hand was the secret mystery of the Heavenly Tyrant Feng God Slash, the long knife burst out in the rotation of the arc-shaped knife light, and the computer-controlled Hattori Hanzo had no power to fight back at all, and the blood bar was emptied within five seconds, and he was hacked to death.

Eri looked at the overlord pill that was put into the sheath, her eyes twinkled like stars, and then she stood up and walked to the game console with her little feet, picked up another game controller, and then sat back in her place and looked at Xia Di with burning eyes, and the battle intent hidden in the depths of her eyes was constantly rising.

This trick, she wants to learn!

However, Xia Di did not choose the player PK mode, but directly put down the controller, turned his head to look at her and said word by word: "At this point in time, good children should go to bed, why do you still want to play games?" ”

Eri Yi frowned, looking at Xia Di fell into a little entanglement, although she didn't have a clear understanding of human feelings, but she could also guess that this stranger who dared to break the rules and break into her room in the middle of the night would most likely never appear in front of her again, if she missed this opportunity, if she wanted to practice, she would probably have to explore it for a while.

After thinking about it, she wrote in her notebook without giving up: "Are you a new doctor?" ”

If he was a new doctor, he should be able to say goodbye if he did it now.

The man who claimed to be her father had said to listen to doctors and nurses, and that obedient children were rewarded.

However, Xia Di's answer surprised her a little: "I am a magician, and I know all kinds of magical magic. ”

There was no basis for his words, he reached out to Eiliyi's ear, and when he took it back, a delicate rose appeared on his fingertips.

Then, without waiting for Eri to react, the other hand flicked his fingers on the rose, and the petals instantly disintegrated, turning into a rain of flowers that enveloped the two of them.

Then the lights in the room went out, and the rain of flowers became starlight suspended in the air under Eri's amazed gaze, and the screen of the game console became a bright moon, and the stalls at her feet became a flying carpet, carrying her and the mysterious Mr. Magician through the moonlight.

The beautiful moonlight reflected in Eri's eyes, and the original suspicion that Xia Di claimed to be a magician dissipated, and she couldn't help but reach out to touch the dazzling starlight.

But the starlight is like a mirror, and the moment the fingertips touch it, it turns into a crystal point of light and dissipates into nothingness.

Eri withdrew her hand, looking at the point of light that surrounded her, somewhat bewildered.

The man who claimed to be her father had said that she could not speak at will, and could only express her thoughts with pen and paper, otherwise she would bring great danger and harm to the people around her, like the starlight that she had "destroyed" just now.

So she sat quietly in place, the light in her eyes dimming again, as if someone had extracted her soul from her hard-won soul and gradually transformed it back into that delicate and perfect but lifeless cute doll.

Just as she lowered her head, her will gradually weakened, and she was about to go back to sleep, a warm hand quietly covered her head, and then the gentle words of Mr. Magician came:

"Why aren't you happy, don't you like my magic?"

The warm big hand didn't make any extra movements, just lightly placed it on the girl's head, and Eri felt that Mr. Sorcerer's hand was as warm as the sun, which reminded her of the rare days when she could go out and bask in the sun.

Her body is too weak and she feels dizzy after a long time in the sun, so she can't exercise and become stronger in the scorching sun like an animated character.

Shaking her head slightly, Eri picked up a pen and paper and wanted to tell Mr. Magician that she was sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep, but the next second she saw Mr. Magician take the picture book and signature pen in her hand and throw them aside.

The little girl looked up in bewilderment, not knowing what Mr. Magician was going to do.

Could it be that Mr. Magician, who knows mind reading, can omit this inconvenient way of communicating?

Xia Di met Eriyi's gaze that was not sad or happy and did not have much emotion, and asked softly: "Why don't you try to speak, a cute little girl like Ling must have a good voice." ”

At this moment, Xia Di is like an old father who teaches his children to speak, with encouragement and anticipation, hoping to hear the child shout "Dad".

But Eri didn't mean to speak, she could feel the anticipation in Xia Di's eyes, but she couldn't respond.

Growing up, everyone was preventing her from speaking, as if she would open Pandora's box and bring endless disasters to the world.

And she also knew that she had an incomparably terrifying power sealed in her body, just like Naruto, the protagonist of Naruto, who was a terrifying little monster.

But she doesn't like to watch Naruto, because the demon fox is the main character of the manga, and he is optimistic and cheerful, as if nothing can make him feel sad.

When Naruto Uzumaki is about to lose, he can use his words to move the enemy, and he can use his words to motivate his teammates and boost morale.

But Eri is just a little monster who can't speak, maybe one day the monster inside her will turn her into a real monster, and everyone will shoot bullets and artillery fire at her with weapons, and she will desperately wave her hands to show that she has no malicious intentions, but they will take it as a threat and intimidation, and thus be attacked more fiercely.

Just when she finally found a pen and paper and wanted to explain that she was just a little monster that was harmless to humans and animals, and that she could be satisfied with having a place to sleep, Ultraman with a light bulb eye would fall from the sky, and it would cross its hands together to kill the Eri Monster with a nirvana light, and finally fly into the sky with a "brush" in the warm applause and cheers of everyone.

Pursing her lips, Eri didn't speak, stubbornly reaching out to get her little notebook and pen.

However, Mr. Magician's voice sounded again: "Have you forgotten that I am a magical magician? ”

"Good children who are obedient can be rewarded."

His hand on Eri's little head slowly moved down, pinching the girl's pink and soft cheeks: "Now, you can tell me in person, whether you are a bad boy or a good boy." ”
