Chapter 580: Chapter 580 Everything is Going According to Plan
Please continue reading on ΒOXΝʘVEL.ϹΟM .Of course, Liu Shiling knew that the mage's robe on her body, the magic wand in her hand, and the dark demon lord that appeared in the living room were all conjured by the elder fairy sister and were not completely real.
However, when she put on the magnificent and imposing mage's robe and held the coveted kitty head magic staff for the first time, and sighted the shadowy monster demon lord while awake, Liu Shiling was too immersed, too excited, too thrilled, and unwittingly, she thoroughly activated the five “super-connected objects” coins, really bringing forth electricity.
Luckily, she pulled back in time after getting a shock, or else the electronic devices in the entire building would have been ruined.
Of course, for a moment just now, the power supply to the entire building had been temporarily interrupted and all wireless signals interfered with. Luckily, it was afternoon time, and there weren't many people in the building. The power was promptly restored, causing no significant impact to be noticed.
However, the appliances in Liu Shiling's house were the unlucky ones, especially along the route from the living room to the kitchen, everything from the TV, router, water dispenser, refrigerator, microwave, rice cooker, to the tablet on the sofa were affected.
After checking that the little fatty girl was fine, Yang Zhen'er heaved a sigh of relief and gently patted the custard pie's head, saying, “It's good you're all okay, it's all my fault. Gosh, I always thought that the electricity on my holy sword was fake, but I didn't expect it to turn real all of a sudden…”
Upon observing the situation in the room, she then realized that the “illusion” was not an “illusion”, but an actual occurrence. Did her electricity become real?!
Despite being slightly alarmed, Yang Zhen'er still had a hint of self-satisfaction.
Little Bell truly is a possessor of great fortune!
Liu Shiling, looking at the smoking and definitely broken TV, and the various foods that “flew” out from the refrigerator when the door was thrust open, held her chopsticks with a listless expression: “It's over, mom will definitely spank me when she gets back.”
Yang Zhen'er promptly waved her hand with a heroic air: “No worries! This is all my fault, and it has nothing to do with you, Little Bell! Rest assured, I'll talk to your mom. As for these appliances and such, I'll get them sorted out soon!”
Liu Shiling paused, raised her head to look at Yang Zhen'er's expression, and realized that the elder fairy sister was intending to take the blame for her. If elder fairy sister took the blame, she could avoid punishment and beatings, which really relieved her—she hasn't angered her mom or been spanked for a long, long time. Now that she's already in elementary school, it would be pretty miserable to be spanked again.
However, Liu Shiling realized that elder fairy sister seemed to truly believe that she was the one who broke all the appliances in the room? She really thought it was her own fault?
This discovery caused the “two little people” in Liu Shiling's heart to begin fighting against each other.
One voice quietly said: “If elder fairy sister thinks it's her doing, it's all good. We don't say anything, which is not lying. Mom definitely won't spank elder fairy sister's butt.”
The other voice opposed, “This isn't right; elder fairy sister truly thinks it's her fault. We know it isn't but won't tell her. This means we're deceiving her, and also to avoid getting the spanking ourselves. This is not what good kids should do!”
The former voice quietly spoke again: “Anyway, nobody knows, neither elder fairy sister nor mom, only Custard Pie knows, but it definitely won't speak out. Depending on whether Bald Uncle… knows or not.”
The other voice sighed, “We're supposed to be ‘great wizards' saving the world, supposed to be fighting side-by-side with Uncle Bald, how can we be afraid of mere spanking?”
The previous voice said: “But we have to keep our ability to use magic a secret, Uncle Bald will definitely understand.”
The other voice retorted: “Elder fairy sister can also use magic, and we just used magic together. Last time, Uncle Bald even allowed us to teach elder fairy sister magic, which proves that she's one of us. Hence, we should never deceive elder fairy sister like this.”
“Little Bell, what are you muttering? I can't hear it clearly,” Yang Zhen'er curiously asked.
After an inner turmoil, Liu Shiling finally made her decision and raised her head to tell Yang Zhen'er: “Elder fairy sister, you didn't mess up the TV and the fridge, I did.”
“Ah?” Yang Zhen'er was taken aback.
“Don't worry, elder fairy sister, whoever did it should be held accountable. Even if mom spanks me until I can't sit down, I won't involve you in this!” Liu Shiling earnestly affirmed.
Then, Yang Zhen'er seemed to sense an extremely fine line, like threads, connecting her distributed erasers to the little fatty girl. Though she couldn't see it directly, she inexplicably knew that the thing connected to the little fatty girl was the five named coins.
So, at this moment, Yang Zhen'er understood instantly that the real electric shock just now wasn't due to her illusion “coming to life” and becoming reality, but was due to the five coins controlled by Little Bell.
This little kid, she can generate electricity!
Yang Zhen'er couldn't help but get excited, suddenly picked up the little fatty girl, and exclaimed: “Little Bell, we can combine and cast spells together in the future! I'll use illusion to confuse others, and then you'll subtly generate electricity. At first, people will be frightened, and then realize that my electricity is fake. When they lower their guard, you'll suddenly shock them with real electricity, catching them unaware!”
Liu Shiling was puzzled: “Who does elder fairy sister want to shock?”
Yang Zhen'er paused: “Ah… um… let's talk about it when the time comes.”
Thus, when evening arrived and Shiling's mom returned home (after not seeing Yang Zhen'er and Liu Shiling coming to find her for lunch), she found some changes in her house as she pushed the door open. It seemed like the TV in the living room was replaced? With a bigger sized TV? And not only the TV, the fridge was also replaced? From a single-door to a double-door type?
Yang Zhen'er and Liu Shiling were stuffing some ingredients into the fridge, and they both smiled at her when they saw her enter.
“What is this?” Shiling's mom was slightly confused. What was this situation? They were renting this apartment, and the TV and fridge belonged to the landlord. If Miss Yang wanted to replace the TV and fridge, she should replace them in their rented apartment downstairs, shouldn't she?
Yang Zhen'er quickly pointed at Custard Pie, who was snacking on gourmet canned food on the floor next to them, and explained: “This afternoon, while Little Bell and I were playing with Custard Pie, he accidentally damaged the television and fridge. We called the local electrical appliance store, and since they were having a promotion, we replaced the TV and fridge with higher-end models from the same brand, so the landlord should have no complaints.”
Liu Shiling didn't comment, and just silently opened another can of the gourmet canned food they had just brought for Custard Pie.
“Ah? This… we could have just fixed it… the TV and fridge should be expensive, how much did they cost? I need to transfer the money to you.” Shiling's mom quickly said. “It must be that Liu Shiling got too rowdy while playing with Custard Pie, how can we let you pay for it? ”
Liu Shiling, who was squatting next to the custard pie, ducked her neck a little, but still didn't dare to speak up. She had mustered the courage to confess to the old fairy sister earlier, and the old fairy sister assured her not to worry, but she now lacked the courage to be honest with her mother again, after all… it might involve leaking magic secrets.
It's not entirely because she's afraid of being spanked by her mother.
Yang Zhen'er said: “Oh, Sister Lin, it's not Xiao Lingdang's fault, it's mine. I wanted to pet the custard pie, but it wouldn't let me, then it ran, so I chased it, tripped over something, and smashed the TV. If it was Xiao Lingdang, she would just need to lift her hand and get the pie, she doesn't need to chase it at all. Sister Lin, don't bring this up anymore, let me get over it, otherwise, it's somewhat embarrassing.”
“Ah? Is that so… Miss Yang didn't get hurt, did she? It… it was just because the custard pie was too naughty.” said Shiling's mom. Now that Yang Zhen'er had explained that much, it was awkward to ask further. She was still somewhat perplexed. If just chasing the custard pie, how did that end up destroying both the far-off TV and the refrigerator? Above all, even though the TV might be fragile, the refrigerator isn't that easy to break, is it? Yet naturally, she felt too embarrassed to voice these questions.
…
A few hours ago.
In the completed Phase 1 building of the research base in Chongyun Village.
In a certain experiment room.
Xia Libing was currently resting her chin on one hand and supporting her elbow with the other, staring at the screen in front of her.
The scene on the screen was of Liu Shiling's living room; from the angle of the video, it looked like the camera of a tablet placed on the living room sofa.
Under Alice's control, this tablet's camera, originally facing down, was subtly adjusted little by little, flipped over, leaned against the couch, and its angle corrected, turning on the wide-angle lens to capture the whole living room.
Since most of the components inside this tablet were now “super-connected objects,” and the room was also filled with a large number of “super-connected objects,” it wasn't too difficult for Alice to achieve this.
Knowing that Yang Zhen'er and Liu Shiling were going home, she had already adjusted the angle of the tablet camera's lens.
All of this was naturally intended to show to Old Xia, as she herself could understand the situation directly through super sensory information.
Seeing Yang Zhen'er, who was clasping her hands triumphantly, and Liu Shiling, who was holding a chopstick and tilting her chin proudly, Alice, who had climbed onto a chair, cheerfully explained: “Old Three probably made an illusion of a great sword, but I don't know what the illusion looks like. Little Lingdang should be able to see all the illusions, Old Xia, Old Xia, do you want to know what the illusion looks like? If you want to know, I can try to revert the super sensory information and try to simulate it!”
“No need,” Xia Libing responded.
No sooner had she finished speaking than, on the screen, Yang Zhen'er was already shouting in an exaggerated tone, “With my ‘Silver Armor Fairy' here, you don't expect to get past me!” She was wearing slippers, lacing her fingers together, and charging towards the kitchen. And following her was Liu Shiling, whose exalted and serious tone combined with her cute voice was calling out the names of various coins like “chocolate”, “ice cream”.
This somewhat embarrassing and exaggerated scene was fortunately being watched by Xia Libing; if it had been Tang Baona, who was a quick laugher, she probably would have already been laughing till she cried.
However, just as Yang Zhen'er swung her laced fingers and Liu Shiling finished ‘calling the names,' real bolts of electricity appeared on the wall and the screen went black amid a loud rumble.
Xia Libing immediately sat upright and turned to look at Alice: “Are they okay?” She naturally knew what was going on; it was clear that the little fatty girl had accidentally activated her “super-connected object,” causing an electrical arc strike.
The little fatty girl's control over electricity was getting stronger and stronger, especially with the global association and distribution of Xiang Kun's “super-connected objects”. The areas where Liu Shiling, Yang Zhen'er, and others lived, worked, and studied were all prioritized areas. Therefore, there were densely distributed and various kinds of “superconnected objects” which allowed Liu Shiling to more easily access all her abilities and apply them to a larger range and higher power.
As a result, Xiang Kun had asked Alice to keep an eye on the little fatty girl to prevent her from accidentally using her power and hurting herself or others.
So when she heard Xia Libing's question, the manifested Alice subconsciously stuck out her tongue and scratched her head before saying, “No worries, Little Lingdang is fine, and Old Three is also okay.” She was a teeny-weeny bit negligent; logically speaking, she should have forecasted the possibility of the little fatty girl accidentally manifesting a real power effect after being too engrossed in the illusion and plot created by Yang Zhen'er. She then should have done ability countermeasures in time to minimize the impact.
Knowing that the cousin and the little fatty girl were fine, Xia Libing nodded without saying much. She knew Alice would reflect on it, and there was no need to remind her. So she simply said, “Find out where Lu Qinliang is now.”
“Okay!” Alice responded immediately.
Afterward, the previously black monitor flickered for a moment, and an infrared thermal imaging view from the bird's eye view of the ground popped up.
In the image, you could see a tall figure moving on the ground; judging by the shape of the thermal imaging, his physical structure clearly differed from humans, and his temperature was vastly different from the surrounding humans.
This was definitely the secretive “Mr. Liang” from the Divine Technology's secret department, Lu Qinliang.
His current location was outside the rental house where Xiang Kun first mutated. He was in an invisible state, and the image that Alice sent to Old Xia was from a mini-drone surveillance from high above, deployed by Lu Qinliang himself.
It was evident that Mr. Liang was currently investigating Xiang Kun.
Previously, Fang Pingfang, Zhao Feng, and their eight-person investigation team were conducting the investigation under the guide of Xiang Kun and Alice.
At that time, with Alice's assistance, Xia Libing occasionally paid attention to the progress of their investigation. Based on the actual situation and her psychological assessments of the group, she subtly adjusted Xiang Kun's guiding plan, enabling them to more accurately pursue the objectives drawn up by Xiang Kun.
Now it was Lu Qinliang's turn, with Xia Libing and Alice still conducting real-time surveillance, making detailed adjustments, and modifications of information.
If we compare their plan to a renovation, Xiang Kun is the chief architect, Xia Libing is the site supervisor, and Alice is the plumber, bricklayer, painter, carpenter, and laborer…
Since Xiang Kun was currently concentrating on other things, the “on-site” executions were all done by the two of them, ensuring that the plan progressed towards the predestined goal.
As of now, everything was going according to plan.
