Chapter 1644 - Rheias Commission (1/2)
Before Hao Ren could finish his sentence, his face was plastered with Noobie’s shadow bolts. While the damage was technically zero, he still lost his composure before the ‘both’ of them were face-to-face.
Two seconds later, Noobie held her hands open in a threatening stance. “Shaaa!”
Vivian quickly grabbed the tiny tot off her shoulder and stared at her. “Why did you come?!”
“Shaa!”
“How would she know?” Hao Ren said as he recovered from his stupor. He then looked at the tiny tot who should have been left behind on the Surface World and taken care by Raven 12345. “Didn’t we pass her over to Raven 12345…”
As he mentioned Raven 12345, the little one immediately let out a sharp screech before she hugged and coiled around Vivian’s thumb, clearly scared out of her wits.
“Don’t tell me you snuck out from Raven 12345’s place and followed us here?” Vivian whispered. “But that’s not right. She’s been hiding here all along and we didn’t even notice…”
Hao Ren stole a glance at Rheia and noticed that she was looking curiously at them, and her interest was clearly piqued by the tiny tot who looked the same as Vivian. But she had yet to interrupt them out of etiquette. Nevertheless, she would still have to ask the question further down the line.
“Did you not notice?” Hao Ren whispered at Vivian. “She was standing on your shoulder all along. And If I’m not wrong, she was probably hiding somewhere in you.”
Vivian shook her head. “Not at all… Huh?”
She looked in shock at her hand and Noobie, who was clinging on to her thumb shivering apparently thought it was not safe enough, and she curled even deeper into her hands. As she moved, the tiny one’s body slowly became ethereal before finally became a blob of blurry mist, like how Vivian usually summons her blood mist as it fused into Vivian’s arm.
Lily blinked and blinked. “Ugh… Battie… did you just ate her?”
“Of course not!” Vivian glared at the werehusky, “Can you stop thinking just about eating! She seemed to have fused with my body…”
“Can you feel her presence?” Hao Ren asked.
“I can faintly feel her presence,” Vivian said, unsure of herself. “So that’s why I was feeling a little weird when I got here… Seems like the tot came along with us through that.”
Hao Ren was dumbfounded. “…So she learned a new skill to not get locked around Raven 12345 and be fed instant noodles.”
By then, Rheia could no longer suppress her curiosity and broke the awkward silence. “Ahem, if you don’t mind me asking… Is this lady here a necromancer? But that spirit you summoned looked a little weird, you made that on purpose?”
Hao Ren was then struggling how to explain little Noobie’s existence and as he heard Rheia he found a platform and while ‘necromancers’ of this world would not summon a being like Noobie, it was still a probable explanation. He quickly nodded. “Yes, she is a necromancer, but her style is not quite the same as your usual ones. It’s all mysterious and whatnot, so all in all her summoned spirits looked all like that.
