attack stream of life

That night was originally a good day with a high moon and clear wind, but a gust of evil wind came from nowhere, and a dark cloud blew in, covering the sky with silver, moon and stars. Qing Chuan had a faint feeling that something would happen today.

Not long after he hung up the lantern for business, a clerk from the office came, bringing with him a beautiful but somewhat weird antique doll.The hair seems to be made by grafting human hair, the small mouth is smiling, and the black glazed eyes are looking at him inorganically.

Qing Chuan saw a cute little girl sleeping in the body of the antique doll, wrapped in a teardrop-shaped gemstone, like a little elf, with a pale golden light all over her body, sleeping peacefully.

"Strange, it's obviously the breath of life, why do I feel...the smell of blood?"

"Boss, do me a favor." The clerk is not Qingchuan's contractor, but he is used to calling him boss along with others.

"Is it about this doll?" Qingchuan is used to the office sometimes looking for him when in trouble.

The clerk took out the antique doll and put it on the counter, "This doll was brought back by a businessman when he went out to play, and there was a strange soul living in it. Since he brought the antique doll back, strange things have been happening at home. Because the solution No, it was transferred to our place."

Qingchuan put on his gloves and picked up the antique doll to observe carefully, "Well, continue."

This antique doll is not an ordinary doll, but a doll made of the child's hair and wood to commemorate the lost baby.Is this little soul the owner of this doll's hair?

"There seems to be some strange power in it. It is usually in a deep sleep state, but it wakes up around this time every day. After waking up, she doesn't remember everything. It seems that time stays on the day of death, and she wants to buy it for her father. Cake. If you don’t get it, you will be very sad, and everyone around you will want to cry for no reason.”

Qingchuan raised his head to look at the little girl sleeping in the antique doll, "Then you can buy one for her."

"If only it were that simple. She doesn't have any money on her, and she just wants a small cupcake in principle. But when she was really given a cupcake, she was very sad and cried. If she was given a big cake, she said it was free or discounted. Yes, it is possible, but she will start eating on the spot. She is a soul body and cannot eat cakes in reality. She feels that we are deceiving her, so she still cries. If I use illusion, I will be discovered in a second."

The clerk no longer wanted to recall the tormented nights, "If it was an evil spirit, it would be easy to deal with, but this is not an evil spirit, and it didn't hurt anyone. It just cried by itself and brought others to cry. Although I heard that human beings are good at dealing with this This kind of thing, but why should we let them deal with the matter of our monsters?"

"...Okay, got it. About when will it wake up?"

"Twelve midnight."

Qing Chuan made an OK gesture towards it.

Within half an hour, Qingchuan carried out an emergency makeover of his tavern.Put on the bread counter and replace the decorations, and it looks like a bakery at first glance.

twelve o'clock.

A new guest appeared at the door.

The guest was a very young girl, about seven or eight years old, with dull golden hair, malnourished due to lack of maintenance.The face is also thin, so the eyes are extraordinarily large, wearing a yellow floral dress and a pair of unglued leather shoes, the colors of the two socks are different, and there is a sign in his hand.

There were distorted English letters written on the sign, and Qing Chuan knew what was written on the sign.

'Please give my father a job, he can do anything. '

Qing Chuan seemed to know the age of the child's life.

The little girl wiped her eyes hesitantly, "Good day, sir, is this a bakery?"

"Good day, dear lady, this is the bakery."

"I want to buy a small cake." She gestured for a shape the size of an orange, "That's fine, I have money, are these enough?" She carefully put the change on the counter, one bigger coins, two smaller coins.

"Lovely little guest, we have all kinds of food here, including cakes. But, can't we buy them with this money?"

"Ah?" The little girl lowered her eyelashes in disappointment, and said sadly, "Is it really not enough? This is already all my money."

"Little girl, you can exchange things you don't need. Or, if you have any amazing stories and skills, you can also exchange them. Because this is a magical magic bakery. You can exchange it for one, so big cake."

Qing Chuan made a circle the size of an eight-inch cake, then blinked lightly, showing a playful smile.

"This is a deal only sweet little ladies can get."

The little girl didn't feel scared or weird. She lay on the round stool in surprise, holding the counter with both hands, "I'm great. I can tell a lot of bedtime stories. My younger brothers and sisters, every day To fall asleep listening to my stories. Can this be changed?"

"can."

The little girl's bedtime story was condensed into a thin booklet in Qingchuan's palm, and her eyes became brighter.

"Uncle, can you do magic tricks?"

"Magic? Ah...forget it. Uncle will make you another cake? What kind of cake do you want?"

She thought for a while, "I want to make a beautiful cake for Dad. Yesterday was his birthday, but he has been looking for a job outside, so he forgot about it. Mom said that now the family has no money, so there is no way to buy a cake." .Since there is no way to buy a real cake, you can also buy a small cake made with cake crumbs and a little cream."

Qingchuan pretended to be embarrassed, until the little girl's expectant eyes almost turned into frustration.

"It's true that I could only buy a small cupcake. But because your bedtime story is so good, Uncle is going to make you a big cake. What kind of cake would you like?"

The little girl blinked her big blue-green eyes suspiciously, "But I didn't tell my uncle a story."

"This book told Uncle. This shop is not an ordinary bakery, but a magical bakery." Qing Chuan deliberately lowered his voice, "Hush, this is a secret."

"Okay!... Cough, I'll keep my voice down. I will definitely keep this a secret." The little girl immediately lowered her voice, and winked at Qingchuan cutely.

"Then can you tell me now, what kind of cake do you want?"

“Want a blueberry cake with lots of blueberries sprinkled on it!”

At the bottom of the freezer, there are two ready-made cake embryos.

He took one, cut it into two slices, and spread fresh animal cream and a layer of blueberry jam in the middle.He put the bread on the rotating table, and used a silicone spatula to scrape the cream on the outside, turning it into a snow-white cylindrical cake.

There is also some whipped cream, blueberry jam is added to it, and large and small blue-purple cream flowers are made with a piping nozzle to decorate the base.

On the top, he poured a layer of diluted blueberry sauce, deliberately pouring more, so that the blueberry sauce can naturally overflow a little and flow down the cake wall.

Finally, he put some blueberries still tinged with hoarfrost.

Qingchuan's cake making skills can only be said to be ordinary, but in the eyes of the little girl, it is quite a remarkable work of art.

She looked left and right around the cake, her eyes were shining, as if they were glowing.

"It's so beautiful, so beautiful. Daddy will like it very much, right? Uncle, you are amazing. Not only can you do magic, but you can also make such beautiful cakes.... My dad hasn't been happy for a long time, every day Eyebrows are all in this shape."

The little girl made a funny facial expression, "I hope he can be happier."

Cakes that your kids have worked so hard to buy, even if they're just cupcakes made from bread crumbs, make people happy.What a happy feeling to be loved. "Your father will definitely be happy." Qing Chuan said with certainty.

If it is true, he will not only feel happy, but also feel very happy.

if it is real……

"Uncle, thank you. This is expensive, right? But I don't have that much money. Sometimes I can get a newspaper delivery job, but now too many people want this job. Mom will take us and line up to get it every day Welfare bread and soup. There is only such a small piece of black bread, and there are only potato skins in the soup. I also grow some kale at home, and I am tired of eating it every day."

The little girl stuck out her tongue, "Although there seems to be nothing else to eat. I will help you in the future. You don't want to give me money, can you give me a little bread crumbs every day?"

Qing Chuan looked at her reluctantly, and exhaled lightly, "But the magic shop is not a place where you can come in if you want. Do you have any other stories? Uncle can give you some bread in exchange."

The little girl thought about it seriously for a while, "I'm good at telling jokes, and adults like to listen to me. Is this okay?"

"sure."

She switched to a large bag of bread.

Qing Chuan packed the cake in a light green box, and provided ten small candles as a gift.

"Can I have a taste? Just a little."

"OK."

The little girl lowered her head and slowly opened the packaged cake, what a beautiful cake.

She looked at it carefully for a while, carefully picked a small blueberry with her fingers, and put it in her mouth, "Ah, it's delicious."

She reached out, took the second, the third...

Qing Chuan saw her laughing and crying at the same time, grabbing the cake with her fingers, eating it in her mouth, her face was covered with cream, and said vaguely, "I have never eaten such a delicious cake before, if My dad can also eat it, he will definitely be very happy... Uncle, why do people die?"

He didn't know how to answer. For young children, death is a very distant thing.

"That man, took me home, killed me, ate me, buried my bones under a tree. I've seen that place, across a river is my home. But I'll never see my The family is gone. Uncle, I hate it so much."

The little girl raised her eyes, the whites of her eyes turned black, and tears of blood flowed out, "Am I a bad boy?"

"I'm sorry. You're a good boy."

"If I wasn't a bad boy, why did I have to go through all this."

If it was someone else, maybe they would have given her chicken soup, but Qing Chuan, although he is usually very gentle, his brain circuit is still a little abnormal.

He couldn't believe that no one had persuaded and comforted her before, but it was still difficult to calm down and let go.No one can let go.

But this world is so cruel sometimes.

Qing Chuan sighed, and he asked the little girl, "Have you ever made insect specimens?"

"I have stuffed butterflies."

"What did the butterfly do wrong?"

The little girl was stunned, she stared blankly at Qing Chuan.It took a long time before she burst out laughing. Her smile was too adult, and when it fell on that immature face, it could only make people feel creepy. "So I am...that butterfly."

Qingchuan saw things around him vibrating, and some kind of energy in the air was compressing and brewing.

"It wasn't your fault...I'm sorry." Sorry for telling you all this, sorry for not being able to do anything about what happened to you.

"Uncle, I am tired of being a butterfly."

A ball of light burst out from the girl's body, and then quickly disappeared. The girl's figure became longer and longer in the light, and she turned into a big and enchanting beauty with red curly hair, green eyes, red rose-like lips, and her back. There is also a pair of jet-black wings on it.

She stretched out her hand, and a tear-like crystal floated on the palm of her hand.

"I heard that you have been collecting powerful monsters, am I qualified enough?"

"Don't know how to call it?"

The girl thought for a while, "Just call me the Lord of the Plague."

Today, a new monster, the Lord of Plague, was born before his eyes.From the moment he was born, he was given a strong sense of oppression. How far will he grow in the future?

Qing Chuan looked at her, and looked at the child through her.

"You are welcome to join. My name is Qingchuan, and I am a very ordinary person. Once you sign a contract with me, you cannot change it. I have many rules here."

Qingchuan's contract is not a master-servant contract, he can't force the monsters to do what they don't want, but there are also many restrictions on monsters.Generally speaking, like the modern Overlord contract, most monsters will not like it.

"But you can make people stronger. I don't want to kill people, and I don't want to be killed. Only being strong gives me the right to choose." She raised her hand, "This thing, let's treat it as a gift."

"What is this? I feel the breath of life from it."

"When I was about to become a demon, the gods shed a tear for me, what a pity..."

Qing Chuan took the tear-like crystal.

This thing is very good on the girl, once it is in Qingchuan's hands, it is like ice melting when it meets a flame, and an indescribable cool feeling makes his whole spirit shake, like a young and weak sapling meeting A just right spring rain, pattering, makes the whole soul clean and grow.

He seemed to feel something, and when he closed his eyes, he seemed to be floating in the air, with a transparent ball under his feet.

Inside the sphere, the square ones are rooms, each room is a world, and each world has a demon.Several of them seemed to have noticed something, and looked up one after another.

"This is, my spiritual sea?"

"It should be called 'Yuan' now. Did you take Shiquan Dabu Wan?" The system appeared beside him, eyes rounded in surprise.

"If the spiritual sea wants to transform into a domain, it needs a lot of powerful and pure energy with special laws. I heard that the host of the life system can form a domain early because it accidentally got a tree heart in a place where trees are planets. And Wei Ge, ah, that son of luck, he got the Dao heart of a fallen boss in the world of advanced immortal cultivation."

It is such a precious thing.

"Then this favor...it's really not easy to repay."

"what?!"

The clerk's expression was like that of a giant frog, "You said she was the little girl I sent? How is that possible? This is obviously..." It timidly glanced at the powerful monster with an unpleasant aura all over its body. .

"I'm really sorry, I didn't expect the matter to develop to this point. It is now my subordinate, and I will pay all the compensation that should be due." Qingchuan said.

But the clerk couldn't agree, it waved its hands again and again, "No, no, it has nothing to do with you, and it's not a big deal."

It said how dare it, and said that the owner of the tavern is not easy to mess with, but it usually looks very kind and easy to get along with, but it is still too young.A little girl who was originally soft and cute has just walked around in his hands. What does she look like now?

It has become stronger, and it has also become fiercer!

But I'm so envious, I also want to become stronger.

"No matter what, it is a fact that I took away the Lord of the Plague. I owe you a favor. If you need anything, you can find me and help me if you can."

"The latest thing is the birth of the Seventh Baby Ghost, but someone has already dealt with it, and there are human beings, those Taoist monks and wizards. Although the Seventh Baby Ghost is powerful, it is not enough to send you out. Who I don’t know, boss, you are the big demon who created our office? It’s just that you don’t want to be an officer because you don’t want fame and fortune.”

The clerk took the opportunity to compliment him without pointing at anything, just to make a good impression first.

"Seventh baby ghost?"

"A woman is pregnant, and after three months of fetal rest, a spirit baby enters the body waiting to be born. But sometimes there will be some accidents, such as the child's condition is not good, or an accident occurs, and the child cannot be born. Such a child is usually not born. It will bring resentment, just find another reincarnation."

The clerk explained: "But a child whose life is cut off maliciously will bring resentment, just once or twice. If it is like this in the seventh life, it is a baby ghost in the seventh life."

"In history, there was once a baby ghost of the eighth generation. Once born, a hundred ghosts would go on a daily basis, and the huge city turned into a ghost city overnight. Many human beings died to prevent the spread of ghost energy. Even us monsters, once said It’s also like a chilling cicada when it comes to this matter.”

"Infant ghosts have innate vitality. No one knows where it is until it is born. Once it is born, it is an extremely powerful evil spirit. This time, a Taoist priest in human beings predicted that a baby ghost of the seventh generation would be born soon. No one dared to Treat this matter as a trivial matter, so both the human and devil worlds are collecting information about the baby ghost, and before it is born, either eliminate its resentment or kill it."

Qing Chuan was a little curious, "Does it have any characteristics?"

"No. But baby ghosts will instinctively suck the mother's blood. Generally, its mother's condition is not very good, and it hates sunlight. However, there are quite a lot of malnourished pregnant women and pregnant women who are afraid of tanning, so it is still difficult to check. It's quite troublesome. Fortunately, I got the news early, and there are still a few months, so there can't be so many people who can't find it, right?"

Qingchuan asked again, "Is there a baby ghost of the seventh life, an baby ghost of the eighth life, and a baby ghost of the ninth life?"

"Ninth World Infant Ghost? If there is such a ghost, let alone humans, even we monsters have to consider building another enchantment to lock ourselves up. Eighth World Infant Ghost can turn a city into a ghost city, and Ninth World Infant Ghost …Don’t dare to think about it, dare not think about it. That thing has too much resentment, but it’s so powerful that it’s so fierce that it even eats itself, what do you think about a born child with superpowers?”

Qing Chuan thinks of those antisocial children who are naturally heartless and highly dysfunctional, if they have great power... it would be really embarrassing.

"I asked the mirror demon to help you find it together. It is professional in finding people."

"Eh?"

Qing Chuan thought of his own brat, he should have learned his lesson after being locked up for so long, "These days of confinement can suffocate it, so forget it, let's pay it off."
