[Zhongyingmei] The Spirit Master is backstabbing again

When Jason left the coffin, he was four feet six inches tall and weighed just 87 pounds—just under 1.4 meters tall and weighing less than forty kilograms.

His body was covered with scars from fatal injuries.

All the magical creatures Selina had heard of were stronger than him.

Although Selinya herself was far from meeting the health standard, Jason's poor state really impressed her so much that she was so keenly aware of his improvement.

Selinya was half lying on the side of the bed, holding Jason's arm with both hands, and carefully examined the scars on the other's body after getting closer, "But the scars haven't improved..."

"Isn't this within the scope of treatment?"

The system didn't answer, but just called up the side mission display panel, which still only had 1/n progress and an empty hourglass.

Selinya checked carefully, and Jason sat obediently, letting her play with him.

In those chaotic eyes, there was only the shadow of Selinya.

If Jason Todd has a tail, it must be wrapped around Selinya's wrist, tightly tightened, very fierce, and not let go, which is a sign of the beast occupying the territory.

I don't know if it's because he's used to getting hurt, Jason is not interested in his own scars.Instead, she focused on the bag that Selinya had just brought back from the convenience store.

"You're curious too," Serenya opened the bag, revealing all kinds of novelty items inside, "My favorite is this—"

"The Rubik's Cube!" Selinya unpacked the outer packaging and put the beautifully colored cube in her hand, recalling Pietro's introduction, "To change the color of each side to the same..."

This is the first toy that Selinya owns.

She had only seen it in books: the children of the nobles would have small animal dolls made of wood or cloth.

The description in the book is just a brief passage, which makes it extremely difficult for Selinya to imagine what a doll is like.

She can only use her imagination as much as possible, trying to guess: Will it be as flexible and soft as a slime?Or is it fluffy and soft like a magic wolf?

——Things like toys are too far away from her life. If other people know that she has such a childish and cowardly yearning, they will probably laugh at her and send her to the Colosseum to re-learn on the spot.

"It becomes the same color." Celinya blinked, and the magician spoke out, the sharp-edged Rubik's cube seemed to be melted, and the color was distorted and blurred for an instant.

By the next second, all six sides of the Rubik's Cube had turned into pure white.

Well, it becomes the same color!no problem!so easy!Now they are all the same color!

It turns out that toys in the human world are so interesting!

so fun!

Selinya looked at Rubik's Cube with bright eyes, and said proudly, "Is that right?"

system:"……"

To be honest, he felt as if he saw a child who ran home to beg for a reward after getting a perfect score on the test.

Grass, it doesn't seem to be, it is!

What to do, it's hard to tell the truth!

With a stagnant tone rarely seen in mechanical voices, he replied hesitantly: "...I'm very sorry, but I'm afraid it's not used like this."

Host, calm down!There is no place where Rubik's Cube is played like this!

Even Hogwarts wouldn't play like that!

"? Isn't it?" Selinya asked incredulously, "That should be..."

Before Selinya asked this question, Jason reached out suddenly and took the Rubik's Cube from her.

Those hands with scars, holding a pure white Rubik's Cube, waved in front of Selinya's eyes.

"..." Jason didn't speak, and couldn't express his thoughts smoothly.But strangely, Selina felt that she could understand him.

Spiritualist Xiaoyan tapped the Rubik's Cube lightly with his fingertips, and the white color quickly faded from the cube, restoring its original color.

Then--

Celinya saw the real way to play the Rubik's Cube.

Those scattered squares seemed to come alive under Jason's hands, and he easily twisted and twisted them, and finally turned out the entire surface of the same suit.

Incredibly fast.

Jason grabbed Selinya's hand and pulled it towards him, spread her palm with his fingers, and gently put down the assembled Rubik's Cube.

"...Wow," Selinya paused for a long time, still only using exclamation words to express her current mood, "Wow..."

"This is amazing..."

Human games are more interesting than she imagined...

Celinya was completely fascinated by this small cube.

She was not willing to completely disrupt Jason's work, so she had to carefully rotate each area back and forth, changing back and forth, like a kitten pulling a cat food bowl.

Jason stared blankly at Selinya's fingers for a while, then retracted silently into the quilt, pushed his own pillow, making the pillow squeeze together like a shock absorber for valuables Selina's side. ——He doesn't have a clear sense of logic, and he only relies on instinct to solve the Rubik's Cube, but he remembers that Selina likes their pillows very much.

As for him himself... he put his head on Selinya's lap, squinting his eyes in a daze. ——The little wolf who drills the collar by himself has good self-management ability.

The system is unimaginable, Selinya actually played with this Rubik's Cube for an hour, and finally put the Rubik's Cube into the system's backpack as a collectible.

Even deliberately modified the name of the item, from the default 'Rubik's Cube x1' to 'Our First Toy'.

"..." Although this idea violates the principles of AI, at this moment, the system really wants to hack into the toy company and get a few toy lines for the host to entertain.

After Selinya was upgraded, the system backpack was also expanded.From a pitiful two grids, it expanded to... still a pitiful three grids.

In order to collect this precious Rubik's Cube, Selinya took out the original items in her backpack, an expired newspaper she had just bought on the street.

"It's obviously yesterday's newspaper, so it's already out of date." Selina didn't quite understand all of this. "In our case, it takes at least three days for news from the capital to reach the whole country."

Compared with popular media such as television or mobile phones, Selinya is more accustomed to reading text.The price of outdated newspapers is also low, and for a bric-a-brac like Selinya, who has been behind for centuries, the poor information of 'one day' is really nothing.

If Serenia had the opportunity to read a few more issues of the newspaper, she would find that the content of each Gotham newspaper was actually very similar.

——It can be roughly summarized as: Arkham is so chaotic, the world is good and bad, Batman is so weird, and Bruce Wayne is so handsome.

The newspaper used a lot of space to record the Arkham prison break that Serenia had witnessed.

A large, impactful graphic of a clown runs across the newspaper page; opposite it is a vague black figure, only in outline, that appears to have been photographed in motion.

"Bat, man?" Selinya stumbled out the name, "Batman...?"

Selinya knows about bat monsters, about vampires, but Batman... Batman... What kind of new race is it?

In her world, there are indeed many people who forcibly gave birth to offspring with magical creatures in order to pursue higher magic——

... Anyway, Batman, it's too exaggerated.

She couldn't read it, and she was shocked.

When Selinya was in shock, Jason, who was pillowed on her lap, suddenly opened his eyes.

He stared fixedly at the clown pattern on the newspaper and the blurry black outline.

Jason's delirious mind gave Jason a vague sense of suffocating familiarity, as if the two elements were once inseparable from him.

But he couldn't continue to think deeply, the pain that had torn the bones of his body surged up unexpectedly, and he scratched his body with the blade with a delay.Jason looked at the Joker and Batman in the newspaper with strange eyes, as if staring at a certain letter for too long, he gradually became unfamiliar with it.

But Jason stared at them anyway, with anger and pain he couldn't comprehend now.His heart was beating madly fast, and there was a humming noise in his ears, piercing his skull sharply.

"Jason?"

Selinya's palm pressed against Jason's neck, feeling a little cold, coincided with his uncontrollable heartbeat, coincided with his tinnitus, "Are you okay?"

Almost instantly, Jason Todd's world fell silent.

The system notification came unexpectedly.

[Ding, the progress of the side mission 'A Mockingbird' is 2/n, the host please continue to work hard. 】

The moment the system notification stopped, another voice sounded, "Selinya."

"..." Selinya didn't even realize right away, it was Jason's voice.

She lowered her head and stared at Jason in a daze, until the other said again, "Selinya."

It was Jason's voice.

It was also the longest syllable Jason could utter.

After repeating this word countless times, Jason was finally able to speak reflexively after seeing Selinya, like an instinct that had finally awakened.

"...Well." After a long silence, Selina nodded solemnly in response.Just like she has done countless times before.

And then all night, until they fall asleep—they repeat the process.

Jason repeated the word he was most fluent with many, many times, and each time, Selene answered him.

How should I put it, it's like just after picking up a pet, people squatting in front of the nest, imitating the frequency of meowing faster than the cat itself.

If it hadn't been for the sudden, unprecedentedly loud alarm sound from the system at noon the next day, Selinya would probably have extended her sleep time by at least three hours.

【warn!Captured that [Loki] is approaching the earth, predicting that the boss battle will start soon! 】

A rare benefit in the novice period, [Give the host a chance to draw cards for free, please use it before the battle——]

Celinya turned over and jumped off the bed in an instant, and a card slowly rose from the flipped card pool.

【Goddess of Winter - Skadi】

"..." The moment she saw the card, Selinya and the system fell into a strange silence.

Skadi, the goddess of winter in Norse mythology, has the power to control the ice and is a powerful ancient god at the same time as Odin.It is also said to have the blood of giants.

...that's beside the point.

The point is...

Loki has a famous black history: in order to please other gods, he tied a rope with his buttocks and tug-of-war with goats.

... What a coincidence.

Skadi is the god who is pleased by Loki.

System: "...I can't imagine Loki's reaction when he sees you using this card."
