Chapter 319 The Power of Outer Gods and the Relationship with Alice(1/2)
Chapter 319 The power of foreign gods and the deal with Alice
This was the sweetest sleep Chen Yan had ever had since coming to the empire.
He didn't dream, and he didn't even realize that he had slept all night, so that when he got up in the morning, he thought he had just fallen asleep.
Such a relaxing feeling has not occurred for a long time.
It wasn't until he took out his phone from under his pillow and saw 6:35 on the screen that he woke up and realized it was already morning.
"desire?"
He tentatively called the name of the wish, but the wish was obviously no longer there.
Has she gone back to the zoo?
She can only appear in person at night, which must be due to some kind of rule in the zoo.
Chen Yan thought of the plate of freshly roasted beef she had eaten last night.
Even if he had seen her in "human" form in a trance, she definitely did not appear in "human form"——
She becomes invisible, can eat high-temperature food, and appears suddenly every time——
This shows that she is not limited by the physical level.
Could it be...
Did she come in through the wall...
Did she... appear in front of me in the form of some kind of spiritual body?
A meat-eating tiger spirit?
Chen Yan shook his head and got rid of this absurd speculation.
In any case, except for wishes, Chen Yan has not yet come into contact with such an existence.
He couldn't sleep anymore, so he put on his clothes, put his mobile phone, which seemed to be always fully charged, in his pocket, and went downstairs.
Unexpectedly, Nuomi Guo has already made breakfast.
In the past, Chen Yan didn't want her to get up early in the morning to cook, so he went out to buy food every day. Nuomiguo seemed to be used to his care.
But there is obviously something else going on today.
"Jun Yan, the conditions of Marina and the child have stabilized, but her body is very weak and she needs more nutrition."
"The breakfast outside was good, but not enough to provide her with the nutrients she needed, so I got up to cook."
She hesitated.
"That child..."
She hesitated to speak.
Chen Yan took over the conversation:
"There is something else in the child's body. When she was born, I saw one azure blue, one ice blue, and one crimson in her pupils, but I didn't know how to help her."
It stands to reason that the icy blue should represent his sister, but Chen Yan has always believed that his sister has a serious mental illness. After the memory was recovered, this idea became stronger.
Nuomi Guo had a complicated look in her eyes:
"Those were two strange souls... They entered her body in a clever way, and came to this world with her birth to share a new life with her."
Chen Yan heard a very bad connotation from her words:
"Shared rebirth...means?"
Nuomi Guo replied:
"They have experienced her complete life cycle, from the beginning of life to the time they came into this world. They coexisted with her and were almost indistinguishable from each other."
Chen Yan frowned:
"In other words, those two souls have become entangled with the baby and become one body?"
Nuomi Guo shook his head:
"it's not true.
They became the same owners of that body as she was, and they could influence her words and actions."
Chen Yan was horrified and said:
"Schizophrenia?!"
As the name suggests, Nuomiguo knew what Chen Yan was trying to express, and handed him a piece of toast with applesauce just spread on it, and said:
"It's different from schizophrenia. Those two consciousnesses don't want to take over her personality, and they obviously don't want to control her body.
So, now, her personality is still controlling the body, and her behavior still meets the definition of [baby]."
Chen Yan took the toast, bit it in his mouth, and thought:
"In other words, those two beings don't want to hurt her right now."
Nuomiguo nodded and handed him the heated milk:
"Yes... but it may also be because she is still too young to withstand the trouble, and their time has not yet matured."
Chen Yan took the milk cup and drank it in one gulp:
"No matter what, having these two things in your body is not a good thing."
Nuomiguo watched him finish eating and said:
"Well...actually there is one more thing, you'd better come and take a look."
Chen Yan's heart sank when he saw her unnatural expression.
He followed Nuomi Guo to Room 105 on the first floor. Under the gaze of Jack Baldo's bloodshot eyes, he tiptoed to the bedside.
Chen Yan glanced at the child in Marina's arms.
That child...
It's no longer like a baby.
She looks like a child of two or three years old. She already has short red hair that reaches her neck, clear eyebrows and eyes, and her height is already higher than Marina's upper body.
She was sleeping soundly in Marlena's arms, and her body had convulsions from time to time.
The moment she twitched, Chen Yan felt inexplicably that she seemed to have grown a little taller.
And Malina...
Malina, who was lying on the bed, was visibly aging a lot, her red hair turned dark brown, and some wrinkles appeared on her pale face——
Judging from her age of about thirty years old, there is no way she should have aged like this.
After looking at the child, he and Nuomiguo walked out the door one after another.
After giving a "reassured" look to Jack Baldo, who was full of sadness, Chen Yan went out.
When he and Nuomi Guo came to the hall, they heard Nuomi Guo whisper:
"That kind of aging is terrible. I obviously didn't notice the emergence of extraordinary power, but Marina's life was given to the child, and the child grew rapidly."
Chen Yan pondered: "Is it a sacrifice?"
Nuomiguo immediately shook his head: "It's not a sacrifice, the sacrifice will leave traces. According to the extraordinary people in the empire, the sacrifice will cause a [link] to appear, and the life force will be transmitted along this [link].
I can confirm that there is absolutely no [Link] in Malina.
What robbed Marlena of her vitality was another power... something I had never seen before, some kind of power from an alien god."
Chen Yan said in a deep voice:
"Nuomi Guo, can we help her?"
Speaking of this, Nuomi Guo looked gloomy.
"No...that is a power we don't understand at all, and we can't help her."
After she finished speaking, she sighed softly:
"The only one who can help her is that child."
Chen Yan: "Is this so..."
If Wish knows so much, maybe he can find a way to save Marlena?
He glanced at his watch and saw that the time had come to 7:30 in the morning.
"I have to go to work. Let's talk about it when I come back tonight."
Nuomi Guo nodded, now this is all he can do.
——
When Chen Yan arrived at the zoo, Gotlinde was already waiting at the zoo gate, while Miss Turin was waiting on the other side of the zoo gate. Neither of them paid attention to the other.
Chen Yan nodded to Gotlinde, and then received a blank look from the other party.
