Chapter 81 Yizhak Has a Story
Lily, back in human form, tiptoed and wobbled next to the adjustment pod, looking like she was sleepwalking. She was checking her body balance. When Hao Ren first climbed out of the pod, he was the same, afraid that this alien high-tech stuff would somehow mess up his body. It was a typical country bumpkin mentality.
Hao Ren went over and asked with concern, "Are you awake now? How do you feel?"
"I'm fine," Lily finally regained her usual energy, with a bright smile. She jumped up and down to show that she had completely regained control of her body. "See, I'm not shaking anymore! And I can retract my tail and ears too!"
At this moment, the other two adjustment pods also slid open silently, and Vivian and Izaax sat up. The scene looked like something out of Resident Evil—Hao Ren shook his head, threw the bizarre association aside, and raised his hand to greet Izaax, "Yo, can you understand what I'm saying?"
He used Chinese this time. Izaax didn't react for a moment. He was stunned for a few seconds before suddenly realizing that his language problem had been solved. He was immediately amazed, "This thing is so convenient! I don't have to stare at the dictionary anymore."
"Big dog, are you finally normal?" Vivian jumped lightly to the ground. She cautiously kept two meters away from Lily at first, and only dared to approach after confirming that the latter wouldn't bite. "Do you remember what you did early in the morning? You bit me!"
"I didn't bite you..." Lily turned her face away awkwardly, "And I was sick at the time, couldn't you be more tolerant?"
Hao Ren quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Alright, alright, you two shouldn't be so explosive every time you meet. Lily, Vivian was worried about you when you were sick, and Vivian makes half of your meals. Be nice to her in the future, understand?"
Raven 12345 watched them greeting each other as soon as they came out of the adjustment pods, without interrupting the bunch of bumpkins. She just messed with the equipment slowly by herself. After the adjustment pods were all retracted into the floor, a set of holographic images appeared in front of her, showing the portraits and scan reports of Vivian, Lily, and Izaax. Her gaze lingered on Vivian's report for a long time, and she showed a wry smile when she saw Lily's report, but no one noticed this scene.
It wasn't until Raven 12345 was about to call them to leave that Hao Ren finished pacifying the two superwoman rivals. He came over and took a look, asking curiously, "Are these their medical reports? Uh, I can't understand them, there's no health diagnosis result..."
"You'd be a ghost if you could understand! This is for experts," Raven 12345 casually closed the holographic device and waved her hand to keep Hao Ren from getting too close. "Let's go, to my office first, I still have something to tell you."
"Hey, wait, what do the numbers 1 on Lily's and Vivian's avatars, and the number 2 on Izaax's avatar mean..." Hao Ren called out behind Raven 12345, but the ever self-willed, crazy goddess had already walked away. He could only shake his head and follow.
In Raven 12345's office, Lily sat in the middle chair, surrounded by everyone.
"In short, your condition is temporarily stable, and you will start evolving in a few days. The process is expected to take two or three hours. During the process, your mind is basically clear, but your transformation, coercion, and special abilities are out of control, so it's best to find an open space with no one around," Raven 12345 gave Lily some instructions, and finally added, "If I didn't press the wrong button, and didn't misunderstand the manual, that's how it should be."
Hao Ren automatically ignored Raven 12345's last sentence, and eagerly asked the most important question that everyone cared about: "Then when will it be?"
"Theoretically, it's the night of the full moon," Raven 12345's expression was quite unreliable. "Isn't that how it's told in stories? Werewolves transform on the night of the full moon, and this little wolf girl is indeed affected by the moonlight... then let's make it the night of the full moon."
Vivian nudged Hao Ren's arm and muttered softly, "Is... is this goddess really reliable?"
"Unreliable, but we can't find anyone else." Hao Ren replied with a stiff expression.
Raven 12345's voice suddenly came, "I can hear everything, don't think you can hide it from the goddess's ears just because your voices are small... forget it, you're not the first to say that anyway. Hao Ren, I suggest you go to the Dream Plane tonight. The Dream Plane is in an active period recently, so it will be relatively easy to enter. Use the method I taught you, I guarantee safety."
Hao Ren filtered out the last four words "I guarantee safety", and accepted the other party's proposal.
The group had nothing else to do here, and judging from the fact that the goddess was eating instant noodles all day long, she wouldn't keep them here for dinner. So after confirming the precautions for Lily's transformation, Hao Ren led his three tenants to say goodbye and leave. This time Raven 12345 was kind enough to personally send the three to the small square in front of the mansion.
After the portal to the ground was opened, Lily and Vivian jumped in first. Just as Hao Ren and Izaax were about to leave, Raven 12345 suddenly looked at Izaax and said, "Are you just going to live like this for the rest of your life? Are you sure you don't want to go back and take a look?"
"No need," Izaax showed his signature scary smile, but his voice was very honest, "I tried it, but I failed. Facts have proved that my path is not feasible, so let them choose their own path. Anyway, time will prove everything."
Although Hao Ren knew that he shouldn't inquire about other people's privacy, he had suspected from the beginning that the great demon had experienced some major event before coming. At this time, he couldn't help but open his mouth, "By the way, what happened to Izaax before he came? It feels like he's carrying a sea of blood and deep hatred..."
"Him? Consider it a failed startup," Raven 12345 shrugged, "He was also a big shot with a family and a career in his original world, but his business philosophy was different from others, so after taking down a market, he was ganged up on and basically bankrupted. He almost died in the hands of his enemies—the Bureau of Management observer happened to pass by when he was being held to the ground and beaten to death. This matter should have left him with a big psychological shadow, calculate the area of the shadow."
Hao Ren: "..."
"Sorry, my thinking is sometimes out of control," Raven 12345 knocked on her head hard, "Just listen to what I said before the shadow area."
Izaax didn't speak, and didn't stop Raven 12345 from speaking. He only resisted a little in the end, "You can not say the last sentence 'held to the ground and beaten to death'..."
"Oh right, it was actually hung up and beaten."
Izaax: "..."
Hao Ren finally couldn't listen anymore, and quickly said that he knew enough about the great demon's past, and had no interest in knowing more, then grabbed Izaax and jumped into the portal.
Raven 12345 watched the portal flicker and disappear into the air, pondering for a long time, and finally muttered to herself: "Can I really count on this group of scammers?"
The group of Hao Ren who had already left the mansion of course couldn't hear the "Goddess" evaluation of them. They just took the only bus that was in bad shape and returned directly to their home in the southern suburbs.
The first thing to do after returning home goes without saying, of course... is mopping the floor.
Izaax used nearly two bags of soy sauce to draw a three-meter-diameter teleportation circle on the floor. This thing made the whole living room smell of soy sauce, so how could he not clean it up—so this book of ours is very logical, pays attention to details, and pursues rationality. You will never see the protagonist team squatting there to mop the floor as the first thing they do after returning home...
After everything was cleaned up, Lily, as expected, began to shout that she was hungry: it took half a day to "see a doctor" for her at Raven 12345, and the stingy goddess didn't even give her a sip of water in the end. At this time, it was already past noon. If Lily didn't shout that she was hungry, Hao Ren would have suspected that the treatment wasn't in place.
Seeing that Lily had completely recovered her spirit and had become the happy little wolf cub who eats, plays, sleeps, and is happy, Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.
There was nothing to say for the next half day. In the evening, it was time to enter the Dream Plane and find out what was going on.
