When Xiaohong saw Butler Dog getting the login device, her eyes showed envy and expectation.
Luigi did not disappoint her expectations. He took out a pair of fiery red furry fox ears from the space with a smile and handed them to Xiaohong.
"This is a red fox ear hairpin, I specially selected it for you."
The red fox-eared hairpin given to Luigi is definitely carefully selected. Because the mask that Xiaohong often wears is a fox mask, it is most suitable to match the red fox-eared hairpin.
Seeing this scene, Butler Inu couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. Compared with his own little red flower earrings, the red fox ear hairpin was more troublesome.
However, although Xiaohong, the recipient of such a labor-intensive hairpin login device, seemed very happy, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Xiao Hong is a child himself, and his thoughts are clearly written on his face. Even if Luigi didn't ask, it can be seen that Xiao Hong doesn't seem to like the red fox ear hairpin as much as he imagined.
Luigi thought for a while and asked: "Don't you like red fox ear hairpins?"
"Thank you Brother Harp. I like this hairpin very much." Xiaohong paused for a moment, glanced at Angel next to her from the corner of her eye, and then continued calmly: "However, compared to the fox ear hairpin, I actually
I prefer cat ear hairpins... In this case, I can keep my cat brother company."
Luigi, Canine Butler: "..."
They thought Xiaohong would use this to express her own aesthetics, but it turned out that it was not a matter of preference, but that she wanted to wear cat ears with Angel.
This sounds like a bit of child's play, just like playing house.
However, considering that Xiaohong is also young, her childish behavior does not seem to be unreasonable.
Just when Luigi and Canine Butler were looking at each other, Angel, who had been silent all this time, suddenly walked up to Xiao Hong.
Crouching down and looking at Xiao Hong's eye level, Angel said in Xiao Hong's curious eyes: "Do you really want to be with me, or... do you want to be with 'it'?"
Angel's question was very strange. Except for Xiao Hong, everyone else looked suspicious after hearing it. Even the dog steward who knew Xiao Hong best looked at Angel with confusion, not knowing what he meant by "
"It" refers to whom?
Xiaohong raised her head and looked at Angel with blinking eyes: "How does Brother Maomao know..."
Xiaohong's words prove from the side that "it" that Angel said really exists.
This makes everyone even more curious. This "it" is not fictitious, so who is it?
The canine butler subconsciously wanted to use his mind-reading ability to see what Xiaohong was thinking. However, when he saw Luigi, Angel and others standing next to Xiaohong, he thought about it and held back.
Even though it can be precisely controlled and only read Xiaohong's thoughts, this is something that is difficult to explain clearly. If it is misunderstood, it will be bad.
Moreover, since Xiaohong admitted it, she should not hide it and just listen to her.
Here, facing Xiaohong's doubts, Angel chuckled: "Because when you answered Luigi just now, you glanced at me secretly."
Angel: "However, although you are looking in the direction of me, I can feel that your eyes are not on me, but on... Mao Er."
Angel pointed to the "cat ears" on the top of his head.
Xiaohong was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of realization: "So that's it...Brother Maomao observed really carefully."
Hearing Xiaohong's admission, everyone finally understood that the so-called "it" in Angel's mouth refers to the original body of Mao Er. However, Angel was able to determine from Xiaohong's eyes that her gaze was very special.
This is also outrageous; but the facts are before them, and they have to admit that Angel's observation skills are very strong.
But...is it really observation?
of course not.
Angel did notice that Xiaohong's eyes were a little blurry when she peeked at him. But if he really wanted to use this drowsiness to confirm that Xiaohong was looking at "another person," the evidence was obviously not enough.
The reason why Angel can make quick judgments is that his eyes are just evidence. The real reason is super perception.
Perhaps because Xiaohong is still a child, her emotions are very simple, so simple that when Angel interprets them, she feels like she can read minds.
Because it was easy to interpret, and combined with Xiaohong's eyes, Angel roughly deduced that the reason Xiaohong gave for "keeping company with Brother Cat and Cat" was true, but "Brother Cat and Cat" did not all refer to him.
.
Although Angel understood it, he still had some doubts. What did Xiaohong see from the "cat ears" when she looked at him before?
Perhaps because everyone was watching her, Xiaohong was a little embarrassed and kept pinching the lanugo hair hanging on her temples.
After a while, Xiao Hong explained in a low voice: "I concealed a little information before..."
Previously, when Angel and others were on their way to the dog house, Xiaohong used her special ability to decipher the information about the pair of cat ears on Angel's head.
At that time, the interpretation information given by Xiaohong was "cake taste".
This information is true, because when Angel was trapped in the evil witch blessing spell, he once visited the "Orc Food Park", and many of the orcs made cakes.
Xiao Hong can analyze the taste of cake from the cat's ears, which is enough to illustrate her unique ability.
However, in fact, the information Xiaohong analyzed at that time was not just "cake", there was also information that she had concealed.
"Analysis No. 2536.
"
Xiaohong classified the smells she smelled. For example, analysis number 231 represented "lostness", analysis number 937 represented "domestication", and analysis number 2536, which she concealed, represented..."loneliness".
Xiao Hong rubbed her nose: "The reason why I concealed this information at that time was because it didn't want others to know its loneliness."
There are also categories of loneliness, some are explicit loneliness, and some are intrinsic loneliness.
The smell that Xiaohong smelled in the cat's ears was a kind of inner loneliness: it was lonely inside, but it didn't want to be discovered, and it wanted to pretend that it was normal and happy.
This kind of inherent loneliness is like a clown in a circus. To outsiders, he seems funny and full of laughter, but no one knows whether the clown’s mask necessarily hides an inner heart that matches his appearance.
.
The same is true for the original cat ear. No one can understand its loneliness, and it does not expect others to discover its loneliness.
After Xiaohong analyzed this information, she followed "it"'s idea and concealed the information.
Only now, after being directly pointed out by Angel, did Xiaohong reveal the analysis she had concealed before.
It's not that Xiaohong doesn't like red fox ear hairpins, it's just that her thoughts are more simple. She sees "it"'s loneliness, so she hopes to use some of her own methods to accompany "it" and make "it" feel uncomfortable.
Lonely.
This kind of companionship is most likely useless. After all, what Angel got was just a pair of ears, and they were not permanent and would disappear after a while.
How can ears feel "companionship"?
Even though Xiaohong has already given an explanation, in the eyes of others, Xiaohong's request is unbelievable and incomprehensible.
At least, in Luigi's opinion, although Xiaohong's explanation was clear, it was really unnecessary to specially customize a cat-eared hairpin.
However, Luigi did not reject it out loud. Now that Angel is next to Xiaohong, as the creator of the login device, it only depends on Angel if he wants to change it or not.
Facing Xiaohong's innocent look, Angel thought for a moment and took the red fox-eared hairpin from Xiaohong's hand.
Under Xiaohong's doubtful eyes, Angel whispered: "What kind of cat-eared hairpin do you think will make it feel less lonely and accompanied?"
While speaking, Angel also gently popped out a magical air ball.
This magic air ball is connected to Xiao Hong's eyebrows. As long as Xiao Hong thinks in her heart, the magic air ball can change its shape accordingly.
Angel wanted to use this magical air mass to let Xiaohong design a cat-eared hairpin that she thought would make "it" feel accompanied.
Xiao Hong was a little confused at first, but as she thought about it, the magical air mass changed its appearance, and she gradually understood the function of the magic air mass.
"Can I design my own cat-eared hairpin?" Xiao Hong looked at Angel eagerly while controlling the magic air mass.
Angel smiled and nodded: "Of course."
Xiaohong actually didn't know whether Angel had the right to decide the appearance of the login device. But Angel's gentle and firm answer made her willing to believe Angel.
After receiving Angel's firm answer, Xiao Hong became obviously serious and seriously designed the cat-eared hairpin she wanted through the magic air ball.
While Xiaohong was designing the hairpin, Luigi asked in the psychic tie: "Is this really good? Will it be too much trouble?"
Angel shook his head slightly: "It's just a change of appearance, it's not troublesome."
As for why Angel is willing to cooperate with Xiao Hong, it’s not because he thinks Xiao Hong can really make “it” feel less lonely, but simply because he doesn’t want to see Xiao Hong’s disappointed look.
Angel is willing to repay this kind of innocent, kind, cute and unbearable child with the greatest kindness.
Besides, Xiaohong chose cat ears so that "it" would not be alone. And "it" was still living on the cat ears above her head. In other words, Xiaohong was working hard for herself.
So, how could he bear to break Xiaohong's heart?
You can comfort Xiaohong with just a little effort, why not?
…
Angel and Luigi were talking to each other in the psychic tether. On the other side, the canine butler was looking at Angel with curious eyes.
Although the Dog Butler didn't make a sound before, he took in all the previous events.
Before Angel said anything, Luigi was taking the lead in everything, as if he had taken over the ownership assigned by the login device.
But when Angel stepped forward, Luigi obviously gave in. This means that Luigi believed that Angel should take the lead in allocating rights to the login device.
As for Luigi, as a person, everything he says and does represents Laplace behind him.
Luigi's concession, especially in front of Laplace, actually means that Laplace also recognizes that Angel has absolute control over the distribution rights of the login device.
This seems to have side-proven one thing: Angel is the real controller of the login device.
Although this is just a mental testimony and there is no real evidence to support it, Butler Dog's understanding of Laplace has basically confirmed that this information is correct.
From this point of view, the dream crystal plain that was opened up through the "dream" and "consciousness" abilities is most likely related to Angel?
Thinking of this, Butler Dog was naturally very curious about Angel.
It is not only curious about Angel's identity, but more curiously, why is Laplace willing to cooperate with Angel?
Could it be that just like Laplace owed a favor to the wise master, she also owed a favor to Angel?
While various thoughts were swirling in Butler Dog's heart, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind out of thin air.
"There are a lot of doubts in your eyes." His voice was cold and indifferent.
The Dog Butler was no stranger to this voice. He raised his head and looked at... Laplace not far away. Coincidentally, Laplace was also looking at him.
There is no doubt that the person transmitting the message in its mind is Laplace.
In the past, Butler Dog actually wanted to have a private chat with Luigi and Lapras, but now when Lapras actually "chatted" with it in private, it was a little at a loss.
After a while, Butler Canine suppressed his frivolous thoughts, and through the "beacon" left in his mind by Laplace, he transmitted his thoughts through spiritual interaction.
Laplace was not surprised by the canine butler's doubts.
The reason why she sent the message was that she found that the butler dog had been staring at Angel. Even though she knew that it was impossible for the butler dog to read Angel's mind, she still sent the message.
Not only to help the Dog Butler solve his doubts, but also to hope that the Dog Butler would not have any "wrong" thoughts.
There are many secrets in Angel. It's not that Laplace is not curious, but she understands that sometimes the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes.
She had a hunch that there were some huge and deep secrets hidden in Angel. Once these secrets were discovered, it would not be of any benefit to Butler Dog or her; it would only bring endless troubles.
crisis.
Even at Laplace's level, he could have a premonition of fatal danger. How could she not pay attention to it?
Laplace: "The login device was indeed refined by Angel. The Crystal Plain of Dreams is also related to him, but it is also closely related to me. This will be revealed when you enter the Crystal Plain of Dreams later.
You will understand naturally."
"As for Angel's identity, I can't comment on that. I also hope you won't delve into it, as it will be harmful to you."
The Dog Butler already knew his apparent identity; but even Laplace hadn't seen through his deeper identity, so how could he possibly tell the Dog Butler.
Laplace's answer solved most of Butler's puzzles, but he also heard what Laplace meant.
Angel's identity is indeed unusual.
As for his identity, even exploring it would be dangerous, which made Butler Dog both surprised and reasonable.
After all, if Angel is just an ordinary wizard, it is really hard to imagine that Laplace would treat him so politely; now that we know that Angel's identity is extraordinary, then Laplace and Luigi would treat him so politely.
I can understand the courtesy.
Of course, this is just the wishful thinking of Butler Dog, and there is a certain deviation.
The courtesy Laplace and Luigi showed to Angel was not just because of his identity, but because there was a bond between them that the canine butler could not understand.
And the one who witnesses this bond is none other than the will of the Mirror Realm.
