A beast-like howl of pain emanated from the flames, and an ice-blue dagger pierced my uncle's right arm. The frosty ice quickly spread to the palm holding the electric baton.
The uncle suddenly turned around and swung his right arm, which was frozen like a popsicle. Behind him was Eula, who was gritting her teeth, trying hard to hold back a cough, and attacking silently with the last of her strength.
Amber, who had barely recovered from the paralysis, rushed to Eula with all her strength and raised her arm to block. Her uncle's arm attacked, but it directly knocked both girls away.
"Well!"
"cough!"
The two girls fell against the wall with painful expressions on their faces. Their uncle, whose body was still ablaze with flames, staggered for a moment, but continued to approach step by step. He looked down at the two of them like a fire demon from hell, and his hoarse voice rang out:
"It's time... to end..."
Although the two embarrassed female police officers still gritted their teeth and refused to admit defeat, the situation before them was ultimately hopeless.
At a time like this, what else can I do——
"Oh!"
As if struck hard, my uncle's head, enveloped in flames, jerked forward.
The two female police officers leaning against the wall stared blankly at their staggering uncle, who was revealed behind him, holding the electric baton in both hands and making a "tsk" sound like a baseball player batting.
"I told you, we should give this guy a blow."
Amber and Eula were stunned again.
However, although he didn't know how Luo Mu had touched his uncle's back without anyone noticing, Amber quickly remembered that Luo Mu only had a physical strength of 9, and shouted anxiously:
"Run! You can't beat—"
"Let me see, should I press this button?"
He stood in front of Uncle Flame, who was staggering and finally turned around, and the electric baton in his hand also smoothly jumped out of the purple arc of electricity.
Everyone realized a problem.
Luo Mu raised the electric baton in his hands again, took a batting stance, and raised the corners of his mouth:
"Hey, take another hit from me!"
"—!!"
"boom!!"
Thunder and fire collided, and two figures flew backwards in two directions in the explosion.
Luo Mu was fine, he flew towards the wall, but his uncle... he flew out of the window...
My uncle, flying freely in the air, roared twice in unwillingness and fear, and then finally regained a bit of his rationality.
The series of heavy blows almost made him lose his ability to move, but he remembered -
His car is self-driving and can fly! And it's parked in the parking lot below!
As long as we survive and escape from Mondstadt, there is still a chance!
and so--
The car is coming!
"..."
"..."
“Where’s my car?!!”
Chapter 4 '■■■■■'
Luo Mu was not very clear about what happened afterwards.
Because of the explosion right in his face, he fainted on the spot. He only vaguely remembered that his pillow was very comfortable, soft, and warm.
Shaha, it still smells good.
Just like he had fully bathed in the sun and lavender, he couldn't help but take a very long, deep breath in satisfaction before falling asleep peacefully.
"Isn't this guy a little too much?"
Amber pointed at Luo Mu's forehead with her slender fingers. Luo Mu was sleeping on Eula's plump thighs with a happy look on his face, and couldn't help complaining.
Eula herself didn't care, but looked at the doctor in front of her:
"Doctor, is he alright?"
"He just took some damage. The Thunderbolt Stick acts as a protective barrier, which offset most of the damage from the explosion. He just needs to rest for a while."
As the doctor spoke, he looked at Luo Mu in surprise as he saw that he could bury his face in the legs of the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family.
"That's good."
Eula breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Amber who was poking Luo Mu's nose beside her, "So how did you end up in the hotel? And you even bought insurance on your uncle's car in advance."
Amber had asked her about her schedule for the evening before, so it was not impossible for him to come to see her by coincidence, but it didn't make sense for him to tamper with his uncle's car in advance.
"Hey, for this, you should thank him, okay?"
Amber, whose pretty face still had some stains, showed a sunny smile and gestured to Luo Mu, who was sleeping with a happy face.
Eula lowered her head, looking a little surprised: "Him?"
Amber excitedly explained the situation to Eula.
"In that case, I owe him more than just those two sticks?"
After listening to Amber and Luo Mu's experience, Eula was both amazed and smiled bitterly.
This favor seems a bit difficult to repay?
"Hey hey hey."
Amber, after grinning for a while, was just about to talk about someone looking at Eula's back at the police station door, but Eula, who was touching Luo Mu's hair, was stunned for a moment.
"Sorry, someone is looking for me."
The delicate bracelet on Eula's wrist lit up, and she closed her eyes, connecting her consciousness to the virtual space of the second virtual realm.
The scene in front of her changed from the ward to a classical study. Eula originally thought that something had happened, and it was an internal family communication. She probably thought her father had come to see her, but the person who appeared in front of her was another mature woman with long ice-blue hair that fell past her shoulders and was elegant and graceful.
Eula reacted for a moment before recognizing the figure who had appeared almost exclusively in family portraits. She exclaimed in surprise:
"Mrs. Madam?"
There is only one person in the Lawrence family who deserves this title - the legendary first mistress of the Lawrence family, and the one who has followed His Majesty the Most Ancient God and devoted herself to fulfilling the duties of a priest... Vanilari.
A series of system authentications popped up on the other person's body, and the fact that this study also had special permissions belonging to the Lawrence family all proved the authenticity of that identity.
"This matter is not as simple as you think."
The mistress spoke directly, as befitted her status. Her expression was noble and indifferent. "While your uncle was gaining access to special channels, he was also exploited by the Abyss Church. The gentleman who is helping you this time... also has a special significance."
"—?"
Eula felt her head was a little confused.
The mistress just said, "Sir"?
Before she could recover from her shock, another figure appeared in the study.
Dazzling blonde hair, a saintly and radiant temperament, and a simple rhythm that can only be formed through the passage of time.
"You, you are, Lord Gunhild?"
Simply put, the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius is named Jean Gunnhildr, and the church's most popular and designated next high priest is named Barbara Gunnhildr.
The two above are surnames, and the one in front is Gunhildbende, the first high priest of the Mond Church.
"We are here this time to give you a very important task."
Gunnhild said gently, "For this reason, this virtual area has been monitored and blocked by Lord Great Compassionate Tree King."
Eula was completely stunned.
Even the gods are here?
How big of a deal have I gotten myself into?
……
After reading the following content, Eula felt that her mind was completely confused.
With the free God of Wind almost completely indifferent, Vanilara and Gunhildr were arguably the two most legendary and prestigious figures in Mondstadt. Adding to that the appearance of the Great Kind Tree King himself, Eula, who had left the virtual world, only remembered one thing in her confused mind—
Many gods are paying attention to this matter and will contact me again later. I must complete the task well!
As for what the mission is... I don't know.
but,
Eula's vision returned to the ward and she looked down at the young man who was sleeping soundly and happily on her lap.
It's likely related to this Mr. Luo Mu... right?
"Yura."
The door of the ward was suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man in meticulous clothes appeared at the door.
"Father?"
Eula shouted in surprise, then realized something, "Could it be that you also—"
As the most promising next head of the Lawrence family, every move he makes has extraordinary significance.
She originally thought that a phone call from her father was the limit, but she didn't expect that he would actually come to the ward in person so quickly.
Eula's father first shook his head, then nodded slightly, and Eula understood.
Shaking the head means not to discuss it, and nodding means to confirm her guess.
Eula was speechless for a moment.
Now there is no room for doubt.
So...what exactly is the mission of the Mistress and the Gods?
***
[Congratulations to the host for completing the first mission excellently~]
[Quest reward, Wind Elemental Essence is being delivered. Please check the character card through the panel.]
[Eula's strategy side quest, the '■■■■■' series of quests has begun! ]
He slowly opened his sleepy eyes at the cheerful voice of the system girl.
Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, the first thought flashed through my mind.
Why does the pillow feel not as comfortable as in my dream?
【Of course, things in dreams are better than reality! 】
Wow, you system bitch are eavesdropping on my thoughts.
While arguing with the system girl, he took a look at the surrounding environment.
An unfamiliar bedroom.
It's not the temporary housing arranged by the police station. It looks more like a high-end apartment. Anyway, with Officer Amber handling it, it should be reassuring.
Only then did he look at the content displayed by the system again.
"Wind Elemental Essence... in transit? Why does your system need to ship rewards?"
He continued to read while complaining, "The character card is here directly, wait..."
Luo Mu, who was lying on the bed, twitched his lips slightly:
"Can I ask why Eula's strategy quest is (not allowed due to review requirements)?"
(placeholder) But isn’t this too weird??!
The system girl's voice sounded like a story to scare a child:
[The shadow of the Abyss Cult is spreading! To prevent you, the host, from being targeted by the enemy and killed in your youth, we must pretend that your uncle has successfully completed his goal!]
he:"--?"
