Angel's voice made the little girl stop and turn her head.
When they saw the little girl's face, Angel and Luigi immediately exchanged looks.
The reason why Angel stopped her was not only because she was here to accept a mission, but also because the shape of the little girl's mask was a bit special when viewed from the side.
Like a fox face painted with magic patterns?
As she revealed her face and saw clearly the mask she was wearing, both Angel and Luigi were sure that it was the mask of a red fox.
The fox belongs to the canidae family.
"Brother Maomao? Are you calling Xiaohong?" The little girl looked at Angel, her clear eyes shining through the holes in the mask.
Xiaohong? Is this her name? Angel thought to himself as he silently thought of another creature also named Xiaohong. The skeleton behind Flora that existed in the nightmare realm was also called Xiaohong.
Xiaohong.
This name is really perfunctory.
After complaining, Angel thought of what the little girl would call him. Brother Cat and Cat?
Is he called this because he has cat ears? Or is it because he meowed unconsciously just now?
Angel asked Luigi in the psychic tether, and got a positive answer: when he asked the other party to wait a moment, he did cry "meow".
Angel: "." My face felt hot for no reason.
Angel silently muttered in his heart: Just think of it as a mouth habit, a mouth habit. A wizard has a mouth habit. It's normal. As long as he doesn't embarrass himself, no one can embarrass him.
Besides, meowing is not useless.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why the little girl is willing to stop?
"I don't call you Brother Maomao, you can call me Angel." Angel explained with a smile.
"What is Angel? Brother Maomao?" The little girl tilted her head, her eyes not only showed clarity, but also a little innocence that was consistent with her age.
Angel was silent for a moment: "Forget it, you can call me whatever you like."
Through super-perceptual judgment and capturing the details of the little girl's eyes, he can basically determine that she is most likely a "real" child, or a hollow person who has regained her cognition to the stage of a child.
In short, age and body shape are consistent.
There is no need to argue with such a little girl. Moreover, the title Brother Maomao is not unpleasant. "Is your name Xiaohong?" Angel put down his obsession and asked proactively.
The little girl nodded: "Yes, everyone calls me Xiaohong. Brother Maomao, you smell so good, like cake."
As the little girl spoke, she leaned close to Angel and took a deep breath, as if smelling a cream-flavored cake, with the unique longing of a child in her eyes.
Angel:???" Cake aroma?
Angel looked back at Luigi and then at Laplace. Both of them shook their heads at Angel. They didn't smell any fragrance.
Angel looked at Xiao Hong with confusion. Did she smell it wrong? Or is the so-called "cake" actually a reference to something?
While Angel was thinking about it, the girl who called herself Xiaohong suddenly began to murmur to herself: "I really want to eat cake, but Brother Dog said that if I eat cake again, my teeth will get bad, so I can't eat it."
Originally Angel was still paying attention to the so-called "cake aroma", but when he heard "Brother Dog" from Xiaohong's mouth, he suddenly raised his head.
"Who is the dog brother in your mouth?" Angel's voice suddenly became softer. Luigi beside him also took out his harp and plucked the strings lightly. The soft notes with quiet power made Xiaohong's mind fluctuate.
Slowly settle down.
"Brother Dog is Brother Dog." Xiao Hong replied subconsciously, but as she answered, she seemed to think of something and suddenly shouted: "Oh no, the show is about to start. Brother Dog is barking
I'll go back as soon as I accept the commission, I can't waste any more time here."
Xiaohong said, turning around
She turned away. "Wait." Angel stopped her again.
Although there was urgency in Xiaohong's eyes, she still stopped and asked, "Brother Maomao, is there anything else?"
Angel did not ask any unnecessary questions this time, but directly asked the topic: "Do you know the Dog Butler?"
In the narrow passage, Xiaohong walked in front and led the way, skipping step by step.
Angel and others followed her silently.
"Is it really that simple?" Although no one spoke on the surface, Luigi asked repeatedly in the psychic belt.
The reason why this question arises is because when Angel mentioned Dog Butler before, Xiaohong nodded without any hesitation and said directly that the "Dog Brother" in her mouth was Dog Butler.
After getting the definite answer, Angel thought for a while and asked again: "We want to see the dog butler, is that okay?" Angel made a direct hit. Mainly because he was worried that the question was too tactful and Xiaohong would not listen.
Understand.
Faced with Angel's request, Xiaohong almost didn't think about it and nodded directly: "Okay, Xiaohong will take Brother Cat and Cat to meet Brother Dog."
Then, there is the current situation.
Xiaohong seemed to be very happy all the way, just like the excitement of a child who has made new friends and wants to introduce them to his parents.
Faced with this situation, Luigi felt very confused: Is it really that easy to agree?
According to Luigi's idea, even if Xiaohong wants to agree, she should say hello to the Dog Butler first. And while Xiaohong is in contact with the Dog Butler, Laplace can come forward. As long as the Dog Butler sees Laplace
Lars, it is absolutely impossible for him to refuse to meet.
And this is the route Luigi envisioned.
Xiaohong skipped the step of asking the Dog Butler and took them directly to see the Dog Butler, which made Luigi very confused.
Angel: "Maybe it's because she's still young and hasn't thought about it so much?"
Through super-perception, Angel was sure that Xiaohong's heart had always been pure and sincere. Therefore, although he was quite curious about why Xiaohong agreed immediately, he was not too entangled.
Luigi: "Although this is possible, I think since she is wearing an investigator's uniform, she should not be ignorant of the world."
Luigi hesitated again and again, and finally decided to ask in person.
"Xiao Hong, is it really okay for you to take us directly to see Butler Dog?" Xiao Hong turned her head with doubts in her eyes: "Why is there a problem?"
Luigi: "I mean, don't you say hello to the Dog Butler in advance? If you take us to see the Dog Butler without saying hello, won't he blame you?"
Xiaohong tilted her head: "Brother Dog will not blame me. Everyone is afraid of seeing Brother Dog. If someone wants to take the initiative to see him, he will be very happy."
"Besides, Xiaohong knows that you are good people. Xiaohong likes good people, and Brother Dog also likes good people."
Xiaohong's answer was very simple, even naive to the point of simplicity, but if you think about it carefully, this answer really hit the key to the problem.
The Dog Butler's special talent of penetrating people's hearts can be displayed silently regardless of its strength. Even the powerful Mirror Dragon can be easily seen through. No amount of protection seems to be able to block its gaze.
This is also the reason why Gutaleis is unwilling to come to the House of Everything. She doesn't want her thoughts to be seen through by the Dog Butler. It is precisely because she has such a talent that makes all creatures in the Mirror Realm fearful. There are very few people who are willing to take the initiative to see the Dog Butler.
few.
Xiaohong said that "everyone is afraid of meeting Brother Dog", which is an objective fact. Because of this fact, when someone is willing to take the initiative to see Brother Dog, there is a high probability that they will not be rejected.
Luigi also agreed with this answer, but the "good guy said" behind Xiaohong was a bit mysterious.
"How do you confirm that we are good people?" Luigi deliberately put on a serious expression: "Maybe we are bad people? Moreover, good and bad are not so simple to define."
Xiao Hong completely ignored Luigi's expression, or in other words, she didn't look at Luigi at all, and just said to herself: "Xiao Hong likes cats, so Brother Cat
Brother is a good person."
Angel: "." This is a good reason.
Xiao Hong continued: "Brother Harp and Sister Hair have the same smell as Brother Dog, so they are also good people."
"You are all good people. Brother Dog will definitely not reject you."
Xiaohong's answer still had a trace of innocence that was consistent with her age, even childish. But the simple words seemed to contain a lot of profound meaning.
Luigi did not continue to ask, but said in the psychic belt: "I feel that she should also have some special abilities." Luigi, Canine Butler, and Laplace, if we really dig deeper, they are indeed from the same clan.
source.
But before today, no one has ever been able to clearly tell that they come from the same source. As for Xiaohong, although she did not say that they have the same origin, the implication is actually no different from "the same origin". Just from the so-called "taste"
”, put them into the same category. In Luigi’s opinion, this is most likely some kind of special ability.
"I can't be sure if it's an ability, but it's really weird." The person who spoke was Gleipnir, and through mind synchronization, Laplace simulated her voice in the psychic tether.
Luigi: "Anyway, I personally think that her ability must be related to the so-called "taste". By the way."
In the middle of speaking, Luigi suddenly turned to look at Angel: "She seemed to have said that you smell like cake just now. Maybe this is also some kind of special metaphor?"
The taste of the cake? Angel didn’t pay much attention to it before, but now that he heard Luigi mention it and smacked it carefully, it seemed that it really had some hidden meaning.
"Her evaluation of you is, firstly, the cat, and secondly, the taste of the cake." Gleipnir: "These two evaluations can actually be viewed together."
"Let's take a look together?" Angel seemed to have thought of something: "You mean, her evaluation refers to the evil witch's blessing?" His "cat-like" trait comes from the blessing of the evil witch's eyes.
Surgery side effects.
The so-called "cake flavor" is related to food. And the blessing effect he obtained is a bonus when making food.
Therefore, looking at the two together, the answer is: the effect of the evil witch's blessing.
Luigi also showed a thoughtful expression at this time: "If you think about it carefully, it seems that your features she said are indeed related to the evil witch's blessing. Could it be that she can smell or sense a deeper breath?"
If her ability is really like this, then it is normal for her to be able to smell Luigi, Lapras, and Canine Butler coming from the same source. From Luigi's perspective, assuming this ability is real, there is a high probability that
It's on the same level as Butler Dog's ability to penetrate people's hearts.
Because, no one among them noticed any trace of Xiaohong's ability.
It's silent, and can break through Laplace's shell. It's really due to his ability, and his level is definitely not low. But then again, if Xiaohong really has such a powerful ability, why is he still just an investigator? He's from Wanshiwuwu
No one noticed? Or is it someone who specifically protected me?
Luigi's thinking became more and more divergent, and he even began to imagine a big drama. However, as soon as the drama started, it was interrupted by reality.
In front of this twisting tunnel, a clear light appeared. The exit was here.
This tunnel gave Angel the same feeling as the previous tunnels, with the effect of "shrinking the ground into an inch." However, the tunnels Angel had experienced before were not long, and he almost went out in the blink of an eye.
But now, the tunnel Xiaohong led took a full three minutes.
If calculated in proportion to distance, the distance they traveled in these three minutes may have exceeded dozens of miles.
However, Angel found it hard to believe that the interior of the Wanshiwu House could expand so much. Moreover, the expanded space would be filled with winding tunnels for dozens of miles, which was unrealistic.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the space barrier that the tunnel passes through is even deeper this time.
In other words, the location of the Deacon House may be located at the deepest level of the Everything House. If they were asked to find it by themselves, it would probably be difficult to find it.
Fortunately, they met Xiaohong.
Under the leadership of Xiaohong,
They finally reached the exit.
Unlike the exits of other tunnels, the exit here is not hidden by the wall, but reveals the "roof" door.
Above the gate, there is a long signboard. There is a row of words written in Mirrorland script. When translated, it can be understood as "Dog House".
The door has no bars, but is covered by a half-layer curtain. The curtain has the pattern of plum blossom footprints and the outline of a dog's head. Through the gap under the curtain, you can see the bright light inside and the smooth wooden floor.
Judging from all the surrounding details, this should be the butler's house where the canine butler is located. When Angel was thinking this, Xiaohong had already shouted "Brother Dog" loudly.
As Xiaohong shouted, there was a rhythmic clicking sound of footsteps in the house, and the faint barking of a dog could be heard.
However, the footsteps and barking soon stopped.
"Is there an outsider?" A crisp murmur sounded from the inner room.
Immediately afterwards, the "ta da da" with rhythm and rhythm turned into dull footsteps, walking towards the door.
After a while, a pair of shiny leather shoes appeared under the curtain.
