greek gods in new york

I dare to complain about Pandora, but I really dare not complain about Aphrodite.

She whisked me and Meryl out of school, got into the car and headed straight to the local mall.Book out directly at a mid-range youth brand store.

I took a sneak peek at the price of the tag, and it turned out not too expensive.

This……

Aphrodite is a luxury brand.Not to mention costume jewelry, the nail polish she put on is probably enough to buy my clothes for half a year.

And this specialty store is completely affordable for me.

Don't drop the price?

Sensing my surprise, Aphrodite condescended to sit on the chair brought by the store manager, and snorted coldly: "I will give you two sets of Gucci Dior Chanel, do you dare to wear them to school? ?”

Of course not!

"Don't think that only rich people deserve fashion," Aphrodite said coldly, "It's not just rich people who wear clothes in this world."

"Yes."

Aphrodite's male assistant flattered her and said: "The so-called fashion is that top designers show elements, and then the public follows. Checkered patterns are popular this year, which can be used for high-definition and fast-moving fashion. "

The words say so.

Then you should replace the flashy high-end brand with a fast-moving brand!

I was crazily slandering in my heart, seeing if Aphrodite fired you on the spot.

but……

After all, she said that to take care of me and Meryl's life.

I am somewhat apprehensive that the God of Love and Beauty can take this into consideration.

"Thank you."

While the assistant was helping Meryl choose clothes at a loss, I lowered my voice and said to Aphrodite: "You don't need to do so much at all."

Aphrodite, who was sitting on the chair, looked at me right now.

It has to be said that a beauty is beautiful in everything she does, even if she has a sharp attitude and is rude to speak.

But when Aphrodite slowly took off her sunglasses and leaned back on the chair lazily, no one really could get angry.

She raised her eyes, her slender and thick eyelashes slowly unfolded, her clear eyes lingered on me for a moment, and then a nostalgic look appeared on her impeccable face.

"Ares, are you okay?" Aphrodite asked softly.

"..."

What should come will always come.

Communicating alone with my father's old lover, I always feel that something is wrong.

That's why, I don't want to meet Aphrodite.

But she asked all the questions.

"Uh," I thought for a moment, "have you heard of the Lazarus Project?"

"what?"

OK, she doesn't know.

"Then he's fine."

I put it simply: "Our lives are simple, but also very fulfilling."

Since you don't know, don't tell her about my dad losing his soul.

Also, Aphrodite didn't really care what I would answer.

She has the self-centered character that beauties are used to, and she just let out a sigh and propped her forehead with her elbow.

"I really didn't expect it," Aphrodite said with emotion, "it will be what it is today."

I don't know if she's talking about Ares, or her.

Either the two of them, or the fate of the entire Greek pantheon.

Among the old gods I have come into contact with, there are many who miss the glory of the past, but none of them will be as emotional as Aphrodite.

Maybe it has something to do with her story.

Although she is the god of love and beauty, she has many lovers.But Aphrodite in Greek mythology can never get rid of men and women, weddings and funerals, and the extended themes of same-sex competition and opposite-sex entrapment.

It's different now.

I couldn't help but secretly looked at Aphrodite: "Then how are you?"

Aphrodite tilted her head: "Huh?"

Me: "I have to go back and tell my dad that I met you today."

Aphrodite stroked her long hair with her beautiful nail polish.

"It couldn't be better."

She said lightly: "There is no trend that I can't keep up with, and there's no beauty that I can't discover. Even the most mysterious pop god on the side of New God hits it off with me. Being the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine is nothing more than me doing hundreds of things in Paris." Ten years of design is a bit tiring, come here and relax. My own stall is still in charge of Freya."

Good guy, the Greek God of Beauty and the Nordic God of Beauty have joined forces.

I don't ask her and Freya's human name when they were designing, for fear that the three views will be broken.

"Now I want to sleep with a few handsome guys, so I just sleep with a few handsome guys," she said, "If I am happy, there are plenty of young girls. How can I be free? I am not so happy when I am a god, I have to look at men face."

It's... indeed.

Even though Aphrodite spoke with lingering arrogance and indifference, I could still hear that the words were sincere.

"Unfortunately, it's that little girl from Pandora."

However, when it came to this point, Aphrodite changed the subject, and immediately hated iron for being weak: "I have a lot of good qualifications, but I don't do my job properly, and I am so mad."

Me: "Everyone has his own ambition..."

I think Pandora is living happily now.

However, Ximu and I got a stern look from Aphrodite.

"You too."

After scolding Pandora, she began to scold me: "Aren't you afraid of embarrassing Ares for wearing such dirt?!"

I:"……"

If you see my dad, you won't feel ashamed of me.

No matter how majestic he was in the past, now he is a straight single man who doesn't even bother to change his slippers when he goes out, okay?

But I dare not refute the lecture given by the devil in the fashion industry.

"Go and let Tom help you choose some clothes too."

She reprimanded: "The match for you is not to let you enjoy the off-the-shelf, but to imitate and learn. You and your friends are not too bad. Buying a few dressing magazines is enough to change the image. Now the little girl, either Body anxiety to psychological problems, or sloppy and unkempt, why are you so fond of going to extremes.”

Wow, can it be up to us.

I don't know where the body anxiety is brought up!

Aphrodite's voice fell, and she added: "The fashion circle is the fashion circle, and ordinary people are ordinary people. What are you messing with!"

OK, you are beautiful, you are right.

I resentfully turned to look for Aphrodite's assistant.

Although the assistant is gay and likes to flatter, but he can be the assistant of Beauty God, so he still has two brushes.

As Aphrodite said, her assistant helped me choose several completely different outfits: sporty, ladylike, formal and casual.

In the future, if you buy clothes and wear them according to this standard, there will be basically no problems.

but--

Bought four sets of clothes at once.

Even if I can afford this brand, it's too extravagant!

I watched in horror as the cabinet sister packed the clothes, and said to Aphrodite hesitantly: "Well, ma'am, I, how should I transfer the money to you..."

Aphrodite snorted again.

"Who wants Ares's filthy money," she said. "Forget it. After all, I'm related to you. What's wrong with buying you clothes? Instead of worrying about it, why don't you think about it on Homecoming?" How can you show off at the dance, if you lose someone, be careful I will trouble you."

"..."

As for it!It's just a ball!

If I said I wasn't actually going to the Homecoming Ball, I'd probably be murdered on the spot by Aphrodite.

After Aphrodite said this, seeing my guilty expression, she seemed to feel that she was being serious.

Her tone softened a bit: "Okay, take the clothes and go home. I asked my assistant to write down the sizes of the two of you, and I will send the dresses over the day after tomorrow."

After speaking, he looked at his assistant.

"Get them a taxi."

When Meryl and I waited for a taxi on the street with a pile of clothes, I still felt a little unrealistic.

Goddess of Beauty personally arranges the costumes... so fantastic.

"Homecoming," I said quietly, "are you going?"

"Participate."

Meryl was also a little unresponsive: "Someone is already sending clothes, if you don't participate, you can't participate... Can you invite Maggie to come to our house for hair and make-up, and help me a little?"

Also, too.

She can dye her hair and paint smoky makeup by herself, and ordinary makeup is no problem.

only……

"What about the dance partner?"

I ask a tough question: "We're only a few days away from prom, and we're not prepared for anything!"

…………

……

"Dance partner? Are you actually struggling with the issue of the dance partner?"

At noon the next day, the campus restaurant.

Loki was surprised to hear my concerns.

He raised his dark eyes, and a slight daze appeared on his handsome face: "No, no, you even consider giving up on going to the dance, so what should I do?"

I:"……"

What does it have to do with you!

I was more at a loss than him: "Did you invite me?"

Loki was startled, and then "Aragorn"'s expression slowly cracked.

He leaned back and covered his heart, his facial features under the black hair showed just the right look of heartbreak.

"Nicole, if I don't invite you, who else can I invite," he said. "Do you want me to invite other girls to the homecoming dance? I said we would go together, so I didn't ask."

"..."

Then make up for it!

I didn't mention half a word about the homecoming thing earlier, and I suspect that Loki just forgot.

That is to say, after he forgot, he could blame me in turn, as if I was the one who let him down.

"Why do I have to go with you?"

I rolled my eyes: "I will invite Louis and I will not invite you either!"

Louis, who had just been able to get out of bed after breaking a bone, said he was going to use a wheelchair to join in the fun.

"Come on."

Seeing that his performance was invalid, Loki immediately burst out laughing.

He lay on the table and looked at me with a smile on his face: "You go to someone else, and they still dare not agree."

As he said that, Loki stretched out a hand and touched my forehead a little.

"Whatever you think, Nicole."

The Norse god of lies rejoices.

"In everyone's eyes, you and I are 'hot', and you are a model lover on campus."

"you--"

"We are bound together, and we will be bound for another four years."

He said.

"If you are not satisfied, just bear with it."

30

The day of the homecoming dance.

"Go quickly, can you still stay out of the room for the rest of your life?"

"Hey, wait—"

I staggered and was pushed out of the bedroom by Pandora.

In the living room, my dad and Fernando are there.As soon as I went out, the four eyes directly swept over me, making me take a few steps forward, and after stabilizing my figure, I suddenly felt embarrassed.

Fernando leaned on the sofa, turned his head, and whistled immediately.

Me: "Shut up!"

Fernando grinned: "I haven't spoken yet."

I knew what my godfather was going to say without him opening his mouth—he always looked like a bum, and he was sure to make fun of me with the accusations he made when he was young.

Even my father, who lost his soul, rarely raised a bright smile after touching me in my makeup and dress.

"have to say."

Fernando nodded seriously: "The God of Beauty just has a different vision."

I picked up the hem of my skirt, and couldn't help muttering: "It's clearly the eyes of the little assistant of Beauty God."

Choosing homecoming dresses for high school students naturally doesn't require Aphrodite to do it herself.It was her male assistant who picked out the clothes and delivered them to my house.

The dress was simple: Greek, white.There are no extra decorations, and there are no complicated patterns. The brand new fabric basically hangs down to the bottom except for a ribbon at the waist.

Pandora put on a clean base makeup for me on the dress, and tied up my hair with a green olive-shaped headband.

The Greek-style dress was worn for the daughter of Ares, which was considered suitable for the occasion.

"Time flies."

Fernando sighed with relief: "I always feel that the Nicole who only reached my waist yesterday is already a big girl and a beauty."

Pandora was very proud: "It's useless for you to praise, who cares about the old man? What about the Rockies?"

Fernando raised his eyebrows: "Little girl, you are judging people by their appearance. Loki is not much younger than us."

"At least he's handsome."

Pandora has always dared to say: "If you can restore your old figure, Fernando, then the praise will still have some weight."

My godfather laughed out loud.

He didn't care about Pandora's rude words, as if he wanted to say something, the doorbell rang when the words came to his lips.

"The handsome guy you want is here."

Fernando tilted his head, and then he tugged at the collar of his jacket solemnly: "At this time, as Nicole's godfather, should I give him a blow?"

I:"……"

Have you given too much prestige!

I can't help recalling the scene of him carrying Loki like an interrogation scene, and Loki's awkward smile when he mentioned Fernando's approach to the door later.

I don't know what Fernando looked like when he was a god, but when he was a human...

Now I believe it, the DEA undercover that Loki had nothing to say about is probably true.

"I'll open the door."

Holding the hem of my skirt, I took the first step: "I'm in a hurry."

As soon as the door was opened, there was a familiar face standing outside the corridor.

I looked up, met Loki's gaze, and found a clear shock in his dark blue eyes.

He was shocked, and so was I.

What is the concept of formal Aragon?

The thin but tall Rocky wears a well-tailored suit that outlines broad shoulders and a narrow waist, as well as a pair of legs that are too long.

He tied up his long black hair, and put his short ponytail behind his head, so that his tough and upright face could be seen at a glance.

Plus those eyes that are always affectionate...

Loki's blue eyes kept staring at me, making me feel a little bit trembling: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

When he heard me speak, he seemed to come back to his senses.

The Nordic god closed his sea-like eyes, and then slowly exhaled: "For a moment just now, I seemed to see my Arwen."

Arwen is Aragorn's lover in "Lord of the Rings", a beautiful female elf.

I:"……"

I am sorry.

I really couldn't hold back, sorry for Pandora's makeup and Aphrodite's dress, I rolled my eyes on the spot.

"Loki, don't you," I couldn't help attacking, "do you really think of yourself as Aragorn?"

Loki gave me a nice smile: "Is this Arwen a bit fierce?"

After speaking, he passed me and looked into the living room.

Loki in Norse mythology is the righteous brother of Odin, the king of the gods.So strictly speaking, he and Fernando are of the same generation, and my dad, who is the son of Zeus, is still a generation younger than him.

So he didn't have the self-consciousness of seeing the parents of the female companion at all, but kept smiling with that handsome face: "If it's okay, gentlemen, please leave the two ladies to me."

Pandora: "Don't worry, I still have to put on makeup for Meryl, so you guys go ahead."

My dad stood up suddenly: "Wait a minute."

Loki: "..."

Not to mention Loki, even I was taken aback.

My dad, he actually talked to outsiders? !

In all these years, I have never seen my dad speak to anyone other than me and Fernando!

The old man who was always sitting on the sofa got up and walked into his bedroom.

We all looked at each other outside, and no one came out of the state of shock.

Until my dad walked out of the bedroom, he was still holding a golden spear in his hand.

I:"……"

Loki: "..."

According to Fernando, the spear that has been kept in my dad's house is the weapon that Ares used to fight back then.

What did he suddenly take out today?

And a 1.8-meter middle-aged man, carrying a heavy weapon, walked towards his daughter's dance partner with slow steps.

This kind of scene was too impactful. When the people present, including Fernando, reacted, my dad had already walked in front of me.

Just when I tried to reach out to stop him, my dear father just raised the spear in his hand.

"Here," he said heavily, "I will leave my daughter to you, protect her."

Loki: "......"

Wait a moment.

I don't think so?

What does it mean to hand over your daughter to him and take out your own God of War spear...

Loki solemnly raised his hand and tried to take the spear: "I will—"

Me: "—you know your sister!"

I slapped Loki's hand away, and pushed him into the room with the spear.

It's okay to entrust him for life all of a sudden, and Loki is really cheeky and ready to pick it up.

Thinking of this, I turned around and slapped Loki again: "You still dare to pick it up?!"

Rocky dodged it with a smile: "Hey, don't hit it, you are the one who hurts you and embarrasses you at the dance!"

Then Loki and I went out the door in such a mess and noise.

After an episode, we arrived at school not very early.

Fernando drove us to the school gate, and then left after a few words of advice.When Loki and I got out of the car, we saw Pandora and Meryl who had also just arrived.

The image of Pandora gave me a shock.

She usually wears smoky makeup, but tonight's dance was even more extreme. Under the smokiness, she even put on a pale base makeup, paired with blood-like red lips.

The skirt on her was not an ordinary dress, but a gothic dress with complicated embellishments and exaggerated lace, which made her look like a ghost bride who came out of a nineteenth-century castle.

This outfit, I think, is more suitable for a comic convention than a prom.

Luckily, she didn't have that personality when she put makeup on me and Meryl.

And Aphrodite's little assistant is really discerning.

Leaving aside the dress he chose for me, the dress he chose for Meryl was perfect for her.

The peach-colored knee-length skirt, which was also not exaggerated, was unassuming and unsexy, and it was just right with the petite and baby-faced Meryl.

Meryl took off the thick frame, put on contact lenses, and took apart the old-fashioned braids and replaced them with fluffy French fishbone braids. Pandora designed a warm-colored makeup for her.While letting Meryl remain Meryl, she also got rid of the nerdy atmosphere, adding a bit of playfulness to her quiet temperament.

She looks like a cute little girl, and she has a new look.

"Wow……"

Loki's reaction was still exaggerated, and he walked forward: "You really depend on your clothes, Meryl. You will keep this look in the future, and you will definitely be an otaku goddess."

Meryl raised her hand, subconsciously wanting to help the mirror frame.

However, her fingers reached the bridge of the nose and felt empty, and she had to put it down again.

"You too, Kaynas," she replied, "Aragorn himself is nothing more than a suit."

Loki looked flattered: "You actually praised me?"

You know, Meryl has never liked him very much, and even the face that Loki deliberately made can't influence her likes and dislikes.

"Just tell the truth," Meryl was honest, "after all, Aragorn is really handsome."

Loki was instantly elated.

Looking at his bright smiling face, I was very delicate.

This guy……

Don't you really think of yourself as Aragorn?He himself, this god will definitely not look like this, okay?

Just as I was about to open my mouth to run on him, another car stopped at the school gate.

The road to Yuanjia is narrow, and it was Catherine and her partner who finally arrived in time.

The new captain of the school cheerleading team naturally accepted the invitation of the quarterback of the school football team.

Catherine appeared dressed up, took the hand from her male companion and stood firm, raised her head, and met my gaze.

Following Fernando's habit, I raised my eyebrows.

The so-called Yuanjia road is narrow.

Catherine fixed her eyes on me, wanting to poke a hole in my dress.

She seemed to hold back, but she couldn't hold back, she took the arm of her boyfriend and walked towards me directly.

Rocky: "Wow, are you guys going to fight at the school gate?"

Pandora couldn't help adding fuel to the scene: "Nicole, now that you beat her, you will be the prom queen tonight!"

Would you like me to order it?

Seeing Catherine's aggressiveness, I took a deep breath and wanted to taunt——

However, I am destined to not be able to finish a long speech tonight.

"It's so beautiful," Catherine said in a strange way, "I don't usually notice it, Nicole."

When her voice fell to the ground, I turned my head away.

Something is wrong at school.

A familiar force came from behind me, and I couldn't help shivering.

It was near my house before, and it was similar behind the garbage disposal station.

The power of "that thing".

31

The homecoming dance is about to begin, and there are many people parked in twos and threes at the school gate.

According to the past, what you will see next is the routine exchange of words between Catherine and me.Today, because both of them are wearing dresses and dresses, they are beautifully dressed, and there may be some extra dramatic effects.

But this time—

I watched Catherine come towards me and start the first round.

But he grabbed Loki, completely ignored her existence under the watchful eyes of everyone, turned around and left.

Catherine: "..."

The surrounding atmosphere fell into a deathly silence.

It wasn't until I pulled Loki near the teaching building that he said inexplicably, "Are you being cowardly, or are you provoking?"

I stop.

"No."

Now, it doesn't matter what happened to Catherine.

I looked up at Loki in surprise: "Didn't you notice?"

Loki: "What?"

He really didn't notice it!

I turned my head and looked at the teaching building behind me.

The existence of "that thing" is so strong, and the familiar energy bursts out, I think it is difficult to ignore.

"Here he is," I replied, "right behind me."

If it had to be described in words, it was like an existence in another world touched reality and tried to connect with the creatures in this world.I cannot see or touch him, but I can feel him, and know that if he seizes the chosen creature, he will swallow it up, and thus produce a substance of this world.

Just like the medium that refracted the colorful light before.

"I can feel him looking for a connection to the world," I said.

Loki seemed a little dazed: "Are you sure you weren't brainwashed by the trailer of "Death Stranding"?"

Me: "Are you sure that the scene of grabbing 'that thing' with a crying, laughing, and glowing fetal model is not like Death Stranding."

Loki: "..."

I:"…………"

The dance was held in the school hall, so there was no one around the school building.

Under the darkness of night, only the street lamps were emitting a bleak light. Loki and I didn't speak, and the surroundings were silent.

I couldn't help but think of the horror movies that Meryl often watched.

Loki looked down at me, even though he tied up his black hair, but with the light behind him, his profound facial features were still hidden in the shadows.

It's dark, and somewhat permeable.

In the end, he was the first to sigh.

With sound, it doesn't look so scary.

"Really," he touched his neck helplessly, "it must appear at this juncture, hurry up."

"Are you in a hurry?"

"of course."

Loki took his long legs as a matter of course and walked into the teaching building: "The homecoming dance is about to start, what if we can't make it!"

At this point, you're still thinking about the homecoming dance.

Thinking about the Nordic mythology, it is true that wherever there are grand projects, there will be him getting involved.

I finally understand that Rocky really likes to join in the fun.

"Hurry up," Loki said, walking ahead, "I don't want to miss the dance."

I followed behind and entered the teaching building.

The students are all in the auditorium, so the teaching building seems empty.

The school in the middle of the night has always been a place where urban legends and ghost stories frequently occur. The dark corridor has no sound and no light, so I can't help being scared.

Still pretty scary!

"It doesn't matter."

Loki lazily said: "It would be more convenient if there were ghosts."

After speaking, he raised his fingertips.

"I have supernatural powers," Loki comforted me. "Isn't exorcising ghosts easy? In comparison, 'that thing' is more troublesome."

Also, oh yes.

Thinking of this, most of my fear dissipated.

"Can you feel where 'the thing' is?" Loki asked.

I thought about it, then raised my head: "On the top, look for each floor."

Fortunately, the old teaching building is not high.

Loki and I walked towards the stairs, the steps were not steep, but he still extended his hand to me very gentlemanly.

For a while, the sound of my high heels echoed in the teaching building.

"I can tell that 'the thing' exists," I asked in bewilderment. "Why don't you?"

In the dim light, I walked side by side with Loki, and I could clearly see the corners of his mouth curled up.

He turned his head, his handsome face cast a cold light on the moonlight.

"Nicole," he asked back with a smile, "Who told you that I could detect the existence of 'that thing'?"

I was stunned.

It seems... really not?

The first time he discovered "that thing", He already had a visible entity.

The second time, he took the initiative to come to the door, and he was about to attack me, and Rocky changed from a cotton doll to a living person.

Not to mention the third time, the BB given by the video game god is itself a mystery detector.

Loki said he could feel eyes watching me.

But he never said that he could sense the existence of "that thing".

"That's one of the reasons why my summer vacation disappeared."

Loki led me up the stairs, and said nonchalantly: "The New God can detect the data of 'that thing', Nicole, but it is equally difficult for them to detect his existence. In fact, unless 'that thing' is like Apo As Luo said, it has a piece of human skin, or like last time, it has an entity visible to the naked eye, otherwise it is only in the stage of accumulating energy, and we can't feel him."

"That--"

"only you."

With that said, Loki's explanation paused subtly.

"To put it in a more understandable way, it is because our civilization and beliefs have completely disappeared, and the old gods have lost their fertility. Like Greek mythology, like Nordic mythology, they are actually 'dead' cultures, without continuation and continuation development, it is naturally impossible to give birth to offspring."

He continued.

"Not being able to give birth to a god is not a bad thing, Nicole. Otherwise, if you think about it, if you let Zeus sow seeds, the world will not be in chaos," Loki said, and he first laughed, "so your birth seems Very strange."

"First of all, I borrowed the machine of the Outer God—that is, BB, and confirmed that you are a god. Then a new problem came."

Loki looked at me: "As a newly born god, what kind of god are you?"

I--

How would I know!

Although Loki said that only God can transfer the energy of "that thing" to BB, it can be deduced that I am God.

But I have no supernatural power, and I have no place to prove it if I want to prove it.

While talking, Loki led me forward.

The only sounds in the empty corridor were his voice and our footsteps.

"Secondly, I have been thinking about why Zeus insisted on choosing you," he said slowly, "Thanks to BB for this."

"what?"

"Not all gods can activate BB and transfer energy, Nicole."

"what???"

"Not all gods are aware of the existence of 'that thing'."

Loki still had an affectionate smile on his face.

"That's why Zeus chose you—"

His eyes lingered on me all the time.

"What kind of god are you? Why were you born in violation of the laws of the old gods? So the question goes back to the original point, Nicole: What exactly was the Lazarus project that Ares participated in back then?"

Between words, the two of us have followed "that thing" to the third floor of the teaching building.

In my perception, the sense of existence of "that thing" is getting stronger.

And Loki said...

Only I can feel "that thing", does he mean-

and many more.

I turned my head abruptly.

"You lied to me before."

"what?"

"Lie to me, I'm just an ordinary person no different from everyone else!"

I got a little angry: "Loki, do you have the truth in your mouth?!"

Loki touched his neck: "I never said you are an ordinary person."

But that's what you implied!

What can be used by dogs with supernatural power, and why ordinary people's lives are not happier, he has said a lot over and over again.

As long as he is a little distracted, he will be shocked to the point where he can't cheer up, okay!

"Oh, don't be angry."

Probably seeing that I was really annoyed, Loki slowed down his tone: "I also hope that you can have a normal life, Nicole. I am from experience, and I know too well that being a god is not very interesting. As far as you Greek mythology Here, the existence of humans and gods is inseparable from fate surrounding the head, so what's the point of living?"

"Norse mythology is not much better, saying that I am destined to trigger the twilight of the gods-in modern times, isn't this person just born, saying that he will be a murderer in the future? Growing up in such an environment full of hints, It’s not a murderer, it’s also a pervert.”

Loki said, letting go of my hand.

"So, Nicole," he said emotionally, "I agreed to Zeus because I thought that no matter who you are or what you are, getting an admission letter from Harvard University will not hurt you. Don't doubt your mistake." Man, I have a much more conscience than those heavenly fathers."

Oh, just brag about yourself.

I believe you are a ghost.

"Did the gods really persecute you back then, and you created Ragnarok?" I asked.

"This is..."

A bit of cunning flashed in Loki's eyes: "Have you found 'that thing' yet?"

Changed the subject again!

However, he reminded me.

We are indeed getting very close to "the thing".

I stopped and looked sideways at the biology classroom beside me.

In the biology classroom on weekdays, because there are biological specimens in the room, it is locked when not in use.

But today the door is ajar.

I raised my hand cautiously, and lightly touched the door with my fingertips.

"Squeak--" a sound.

The rotation of the hinge is very clear in the silent environment.

I paused, then whispered, "Hold your breath."

Loki: "What—"

Halfway through his words, he also reacted.

Last time at the garbage disposal station, Rocky was in the form of a cotton doll, so naturally he didn't need to breathe.

But it's different now.

But this time I was wearing a long skirt and had no place to carry BB.

The moment I held my breath, the classroom door opened.

As Loki and I stopped breathing, the dense "energy" in the room gradually took shape, and a substance like white mist condensed in the air, gradually showing the shape of a "person" under the moonlight.

This "person" is floating in mid-air.

My heart sank.

Although I don't know what "that thing" is, I can clearly feel——

He...

Every time, it is closer to the form of this world.
