After all, Rita was very confident about the price she offered.
At this moment, the phone in Rita's pocket vibrated.
"At this time?" Rita took out her cell phone with some annoyance and was surprised to find that it was Otto, the destined bishop of this world who stopped seeking death because of love in his heart.
"Kiana... I'm sorry to excuse myself for a moment." She instinctively discussed many important matters within Schicksal in front of Kiana, an "outsider."
Rita politely left the second-floor lobby and returned to her temporary room on the second floor.
At the same time, it can give Kiana some time to think alone.
The sky outside suddenly became dim, and the entire living room suddenly took on a suspicious purple hue.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling distressed?" Otto suddenly appeared on the sofa opposite Kiana, which really caught Kiana off guard.
After turning around to look at the surroundings, Kiana said helplessly: "You guys are out again, what do you want to do?"
"That's a bit too much." A finger-sized puppet suddenly jumped out from behind the water cup on the table in the living room, spinning in ballet steps. "After all, it was us who helped you come to this world in the beginning..."
Kiana looked at the palm-sized wooden doll in silence, and gently flicked the doll's head with her fingers.
"It hurts! What are you doing?" The little doll immediately covered her head, which had some cracks on it, with her hands on the ground.
"Don't say you're cute even though you've become like this," Kiana said teasingly.
"I am also a Herrscher. Even though I was defeated by you in the end... can you at least give me some respect?" The little puppet, which was only the size of a finger, said angrily.
The TV placed in the living room suddenly began to flicker with snowflakes, and then several green lights intertwined on the TV.
A human figure that seemed to drop frames from time to time and seemed a little unreal appeared in front of the TV.
Elysia? Kiana looked at the form of the Herrscher of Corruption and said curiously, "Since you have become like this, the color tone is just a little different."
That's right, the Herrscher of Corruption in front of her had once again turned into the blue-purple look of Elysia, which was a completely opposite color to the real pink elf lady.
The door to the living room was slowly opened, and Kiana's attention was immediately attracted to it.
"Why do I still have to go to school?" Sirin, with purple hair and an unhappy look on her face, walked in from outside. She was still wearing the thick school uniform that was unique to China.
"Sirin?" Kiana looked at Sirin, who was dressed in school clothes that she had just seen this morning, and said with her hand covering her forehead, "I should have realized long ago that Sirin, as the Herrscher of the Void, you should also have the memories of the past..."
"So I've been ignoring it?"
Hearing this, Sirin couldn't help but complain: "Besides that captain, is there anyone else in your eyes?"
"Call him brother-in-law! You're disrespecting your elder brother!" Kiana gently scolded Sirin.
Of course, this outside is only relative. Kiana has long discovered that this is not the real world, but an existence more like her own consciousness space.
"So, what do you guys want to do by gathering here again?" Kiana said tiredly, "Let me tell you in advance, I don't have the energy to take care of you right now. I have a lot of things to deal with next."
"A lot of things? Just stealing men?" The puppet jumped in front of Kiana and taunted her, "As the saying goes, fire cannot be hidden. Look, you've burned yourself now."
Kiana glanced at the little puppet on the table; she really couldn't understand why it had shrunk, but it still didn't control its mouth?
Do you have to take it apart yourself?
"Don't make trouble here. We don't have much time. Can't we just talk nicely?" Otto on the side couldn't help it anymore. He stood up, picked up a transparent glass, and covered the Pinocchio with it.
He was also very considerate and took a few books and placed them on the glass.
Let the little Pinocchio struggle in it, banging the cup against its surface.
"It's also thanks to you that the remaining consciousness of us who were originally trapped in the core have been able to move freely for a while during this period of time."
Otto smiled and explained the current situation: "Although some people are doing very well."
he took a look at Sirin in her school uniform and the Herrscher who projected the appearance of Elysia.
"Of course, there are also people who are not doing well in this world." Otto smiled and looked at the puppet that was trapped in the glass and was only the size of a finger. "If I remember correctly, a guy was taken away by a wild cat and was almost dismantled."
After hearing Otto's words, the little Pinocchio who was struggling to knock on the glass suddenly wilted, as if she had lost all her energy.
"So how are you doing in this world, Otto?" Kiana asked curiously to Otto who was talking there.
"I?"
"I just became a bystander, and gave all my memories to myself in this world..." The green pupils revealed a look of nostalgia, "After all, my wish has been fulfilled, so it doesn't matter whether I can get out or not."
"But it's still useful." Otto pointed in the direction of Rita. "The phone call that sent Rita away just now was made by the 'me' in this world that I asked."
"Rita's suggestion just now may have been mixed with some selfish motives, but she was right about one thing."
"You need allies, and they must be allies you can trust..."
"What's very coincidental is that, even though we live well or badly in this world, we all don't want outsiders to disturb us."
"So..." Otto pointed at the former Herrschers in the room, "In this matter, 'we' are your most steadfast allies."
"The former Herrscher comes to help me?" Kiana felt it was a bit ridiculous, but after thinking about it carefully, this method was indeed feasible.
As Kiana thought, her originally sad and thoughtful eyes gradually brightened.
"So... what's the price?" Kiana didn't believe there was a free lunch in this world, especially when facing these complicated 'villains.'
