Dress up as Dior sister and awaken your substitute at the beginning

The toffee had been sucked into Mia's mouth and had already melted a little.

Dio bit it off in the middle and took away the exposed half. He could feel her soft lips, warm breath and the faint smell of Chinese medicine.

The toffee seemed to have become sweeter, almost cloyingly sweet.

Looking at the expressionless Dio, Mia's eyes widened and she was confused: "Ah? Why, why?"

Tasting the toffee he grabbed carefully, Dio smiled slightly: "There's only one left, and there's nothing I can do about it."

So it's her fault?

Well, it is indeed her fault...

Mia scratched her empty head: "It seems like this."

Looking at her clear and stupid eyes, Dio's smile faded: "Idiot."

"You took my candy and you still scolded me?"

Mia pouted and twisted the soft flesh around his waist.

"I'm not here to give you candy. You haven't told me why Anubis can't control us."

"Hiss—" Dio frowned and slapped her hand away, "The reason is simple. Anubis can only control one person at a time, and we are connected together by zippers. This means that Anubis touches By the time I, thought it was controlling me alone, it was actually trying to control two people.”

Mia suddenly realized: "Two people exceeded Anubis's upper limit, so it failed."

Dio nodded and said, "That's probably it. I just tried it a few more times and it all failed."

Mia's pupils were shaking: "Have you tried? Aren't you afraid of being controlled by him?!"

Dio sneered: "That idiot doesn't care about the broken knife. He doesn't dare."

Mia raised her hand actively: "I want to try it too!"

Dio glanced at her and said, "Monkeys are quite curious. Okay."

"If Anubis succeeds, can it control me through you?" Mia touched her chin.

"Who knows." Dio shrugged, "I feel like this knife is also a kind of stand-in. Its ability is very mysterious, and I don't understand its principle at all."

"Stop talking about science in a world of superpowers..."

Mia shook her head and took Dio's hand.

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you a question."

Dio said softly, "Hmm", inserted his fingers between hers, interlocked with hers, and led her to Anubis' room.

Mia raised her head and looked at him: "Why do you like sweets?"

Dio paused, licked the toffee that was almost finished melting in his mouth, and then continued walking forward while holding Mia's hand as if nothing had happened.

"Who knows?"

When it comes to sugar, Dior can always recall Mia's silly face.

When he was very young, he was beaten up by a fat boy nearby, and he went home crying feeling very useless.

At home, Mia is unpacking old twine. The fiber removed can be used to fill the seams of ship planks, which is a job for the poor. Mia worked very efficiently and occasionally bought a few potatoes for him and his mother.

Hearing his cry, Mia put down what she was doing and ran to comfort him.

After listening to his words, Mia rolled up her sleeves and went out.

When she came back, she brought a tooth and a large jar of sugar.

The teeth belong to the little fat man, and the candy also belongs to the little fat man.

The little fat man's candy was a little melted, but it was inexplicably delicious.

The two headed to the room where Anubis was locked, meeting Johnny on the way.

"Good afternoon!" Johnny's eyes lit up and he greeted them politely.

"Good afternoon." Mia smiled at Johnny, "Are you discharged from the hospital?"

Damn Johnny, how dare you take the initiative to talk to Mia, I%#@*you#@&￥... Dio grinded his back molars and squeezed Mia's hand tightly.

"It's just a cold. The doctor gave me medicine." Johnny looked at the faces of Mia and Dio, "Are you okay? I was really scared to death when I met you in the cave."

Not to mention the strange situation of Mia, a girl carrying three men running wildly. Their condition looked really bad at that time, especially Dio, whose face was as white as paper.

In fact, it's normal if you think about it. The cave is wet, cold, and there are dangerous bugs, so no one can be in good condition.

Fortunately, Mia was strong enough to carry them out, otherwise it would have been too late by the time the maids' rescue team arrived.

With this kind of strange power, is Mia really an ordinary little girl?

Johnny thought about it and looked at Mia with a bit of confusion.

"fine."

Mia chuckled and shook Dio's arm.

"Dio, Johnny saved us with his luck, should you say something?"

Dio turned away from Mia with a dark face: "I didn't ask him to save me."

Mia's expression froze: "Johnny, Dio, he's just embarrassed, he didn't mean it."

Johnny touched his nose: "It doesn't matter, we are friends and we should help each other."

"Who is your friend now? You're so smart." Dio snorted, pulling Mia around Johnny and walking forward.

Dio walked very fast, and Mia's short legs had to trot to keep up.

She quietly turned around and mouthed "Sorry" to Johnny. Johnny waved his hand and mouthed back "It doesn't matter."

Noticing their interaction, Dio grabbed Mia's hand and strode away with her. When he arrived outside Anubis's room, he let go of Mia and found a light bruise on her hand.

With a flash of panic in his eyes, Dio said dryly: "You talked to him."

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a while." Mia stood on tiptoes and touched Dio's head, "I've made progress this time and I don't want to kill him anymore."

Dio pursed his lips and turned his head away from her.

"As an apology, tell me a bedtime story tonight." Mia smiled brightly and tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Dio glanced at her and nodded slowly.

The two entered the room.

Mia tried touching Anubis. The result was the same as what Dio said, she would fall into a state similar to that of a ghost on the bed, but she could break free as long as she concentrated on it.

After trying it out, Mia looked at the dog's head with droopy ears, and a question slowly popped up in her mind.

The shadow of Anubis is a muscular man with a dog's head. He looks very imposing, but now he folds his arms and huddles up, like a beaten stray dog.

Mia poked Dio and whispered: "What's wrong with it? You won't give it chocolate, right?"

"This knife can't eat anything." Dio raised his eyebrows, "I told it that if it disobeys, I will not only throw away its blade, but also melt it away bit by bit with sulfuric acid."

Hearing this, Anubis trembled and tears came out of his eyes: "Devil..."

The poor kid actually pissed off the devil Dio. Mia covered her mouth and smiled: "Little black dog, were you born in that cave?"

"I'm a jackal, not a dog..."

Anubis sniffed.

"Four hundred years ago, there was a knifemaker named Charabang Sarai, and I was his substitute. After his death, I awakened my self-consciousness and attached myself to this knife. When I woke up, I had already I was imprisoned in the museum's warehouse. I was imprisoned like this for many years until a few years ago, I was bought by a rich man and shipped to his home in London."

The concept of "substitute" was told to Anubis by Dio. It doesn't know if it is a substitute, but having a name is better than nothing.

Mia tilted her head: "Then why are you in a cave outside London?"

Anubis wrinkled his nose: "The carriage overturned halfway, and I was carried into the cave by the wolf. I was wrapped in cloth at the time and couldn't control it, so I had to be thrown alive into that dark and wet place! "

Mia: "Ten years ago, five men went into the cave to explore. What did you do to them?"

Andy told them the information about Anubis. According to him, his father and four other people went in to explore, and in the end only his father came back. The police later went in to check, but failed to come back.

Anubis: "Ten years ago? It seems that someone entered the cave, and I asked them for help. But they screamed and ran away, and I didn't do anything."

Dio thought for a while: "Isn't there poisonous gas and scorpions in the cave? When they were escaping, they inhaled a lot of poisonous gas, or encountered scorpions, and finally died. Whether it was the explorers or the police behind them, they might have That’s the reason.”

Mia: "What about Andy's father? After he came out, he shouted 'The knife can talk' for a few days before he died."

"He should just be lucky to have escaped. As for why he died later than others..."

Dio patted Mia's empty head.

"Maybe he has less poisonous gas or scorpions than others? It takes a certain amount of time to poison him. Judging from our experience, the carbon dioxide-like gas is not very toxic. Andy's father was most likely poisoned by scorpions. of."

After figuring out why Anubis appeared in the cave, the two locked the door and left.

Night falls.

Near the villa where Mia and others lived, a carriage stopped, and a group of pale-skinned men in black robes filed out.
