Creating a Sandbox World Chapter 89: I make a wish


   "Your world is about to be destroyed."

  ……

  In the empty temple, when Lin Tuo spit out these words, the expressions of all three of them changed suddenly!

   "What do you mean?" This time, Orrod spoke.

   "The same forbidden thing that can destroy this world has arrived in the Northern Continent today..." Time is running out, and Lin Tuo is too lazy to go around, and then briefly describes the matter.

   and in accordance with my own understanding, a certain degree of exaggeration.

   tried to make the three people aware of the urgency of the situation, and the performance of the three did not disappoint Lin Tuo. After learning that the crisis had come, they all became serious and nervous.

   "Holy God...Observing Envoy, does the **** know about this matter?" Hathaway asked.

   is "God" has no way, so I came to you... Muttering in his heart, Lin Tuo gave her a blank expression and said slowly:

  "The gaze of the gods will not stay somewhere for a long time, besides...the gods also have enemies."

  The gods also have enemies...

   Hearing this faintly and profound sentence, the three of you looked at each other, and they all felt short of breath.

   realized that this may have involved a war between gods and spirits, but that was incomprehensible at their level, and they were not qualified to understand it.

   However, this does not prevent them from diverging their thinking... Forbidden things suddenly come, and even the observers of this world can't easily solve them, and the gods can't do it...

   Could this be the aftermath of the battle?

   shook her head, struggling to get rid of these terrible thoughts, Hathaway took a deep breath and said sternly:

  "So, what do you mean is that it has already lurked into the Northern Continent at this moment, need us to solve it in advance?"

   Lin Tuo glanced at her lightly, as if he could see through her mind, and said lightly:

  "It is consciously avoiding my search, so I need your power. Once you lock its position, you can't solve it. I will take action when it is introduced."

   Hearing this sentence, the three transcendents were obviously relieved. This was not because of lack of courage, but because they were worried that they would not be able to resist the disaster of the world with their own strength.

   Now, with Lin Tuo's "guarantee", my heart feels a lot more stable.

   "Then how do we find?" Neftu asked in silence.

   Lin Tuo leaned back in the seat, folded his hands, and slowly gave the only known clue:

  "It cannot exist alone, it can only be attached to a certain object in reality, and instinctively release malice and affect others.

   So, in theory, any recent extraordinary event may be a key clue, and I need you to help me...find it! "

   seeing this, the three of them got up at the same time and bowed to salute: "Follow your will."

  "Remember, it must be as soon as possible. A crisis may break out at any time, and once you can't kill it early, the consequences are beyond your responsibility."

   finally emphasized, Lin Tuo added, "I will stay in the northern continent temporarily. Once I find a clue and enter meditation, I will know it, go."

   "Yes."

   The three responded in unison, and in the next second, Lin Tuo cut off the connection between their consciousness and the illusion space.

  Wait until the entire space was empty and he was the only one left, Lin Tuo turned to look at the evolving sand table beside him, and sighed slightly:

   "Hope, there is still time."

  ……

  ……

   Lin Tuo did not know how the three great masters communicated with their respective royal regimes after their return, but he was gratified that the three kingdoms responded very quickly.

  After the meeting ended, he immediately exited the illusion space, and used his clone to frequently enter and exit the Three Kingdoms several times, feeling this more clearly.

   And in the next two days, almost all his mind was on the sand table.

  ……

  For the people in the northern continent, this feeling is clearer.

   Suddenly, on the night of the end of the meeting, the church supernatural team in the suburbs of the major cities of the three kingdoms almost simultaneously received an order from the headquarters to look for unusual super events.

   Later, police teams from various countries were dispatched urgently to conduct carpet inspections in various cities in the name of public security operations.

   For most citizens, the most obvious feeling is that there are more police officers running on the streets.

   "What's going on recently? Security operations? Why not in previous years?"

  "An order from the royal family? Or is it another stupid resolution of the parliament?"

   "Look, what is written in the newspaper? Cultists are rampant in the kingdom recently... Please report to the police if the general public finds unusual incidents... Hey, where are the cultists..."

   "It should be true. I heard that Aspen and Fryer have similar news, which can be taken seriously by the three kingdoms... I am afraid there is really some news."

   "Hey, cultists... Black magic... What age is that?"

   Monday.

  Winton Kingdom, metropolis.

  South District, Thorn Flower Street.

   When Meili walked slowly across the street in the early morning mist, she heard the gentlemen waiting in line beside the road and under the bus stop signs discussing related topics.

   One of them was wearing a top hat and dressed as a gentleman, waving the newspaper in his hand, looking very disapproving.

   The voice behind me didn't fade a bit until I was far away.

   There are more and more similar news recently.

   "Huh." Mei Li breathed out slowly, rubbing her young but thin face, and subconsciously tightening the neckline of her clothes to stop the chill of the autumn morning.

  Due to the geographical location of the northern continent, the temperature is not high during most of the year. In late autumn, the weather is already very cold in the early morning.

  , she couldn't help putting aside those people's discussions, speeding up her pace, and trotting.

   at the same time turned his head and carefully identified the house numbers of the houses next to him.

   Today is Monday.

  In the customs of the Kingdom of Winton, Monday is also called "Laundry Day." People often choose to wash the clothes they have accumulated for a week today.

  Poor housewives would get up early and boil water, while wealthy aristocratic families often have their own laundry rooms dedicated to family services.

  Of course, this is a minority.

   For those "middle-class" families in between that have gradually become the mainstay of the kingdom in recent years, it is a good choice to send clothes to a special laundry on Monday morning.

   In some large or coastal cities, there can be two to three thousand laundry shops. In metropolises, there are close to 50,000 women in the laundry industry.

   Meili is one of these fifty thousand people.

   "Hello, I'm here to fetch clothes." When Meili panted and walked into the guest's yard, she happened to see an elderly maid coming out.

   "You are here. Wait at the door, I'll get it." The elderly maid had a cold expression, complained, and then turned into the building in Meili's apologetic eyes.

   Meili looked through the window curiously and enviously, looking at the interior scenery of this single-family villa.

   She knows that the owner of this house is not a nobleman, but a senior barrister, who runs a law firm with a wealth of wealth, and is a big figure out of her reach.

   At this moment, through the window, she was surprised to see a young girl of her own age, smiling around the house, seeming to show off her gorgeous dress.

   Next to    there was a personal maid bringing the same kind of jewelry and dancing shoes, letting the girl choose.

  Everything is a precious thing that she can't afford anyway.

  The beauty of girls of the same age makes her feel ashamed.

   Meili watched quietly with envy, and then suddenly noticed her own image reflected on the glass:

   chestnut hair, thin body, rough skin, dirty-resistant coarse cloth, dull eyes and swollen hands soaked in water vapor for a long time.

   Same age, different circumstances.

   Clearly separated by a glass window, it seems to be in two worlds.

   "Hey! What are you looking at?" Suddenly, the elderly maid came out carrying a basket full of clothes and shouted.

   Meili gave a sharp shot, her body trembled, and she explained: "No...I just see...Miss Daisy is going out?"

   She knew that it was the owner's daughter.

   The older maid seemed to see through her mind at a glance, and sneered:

  "Tonight, Earl Ende’s house is hosting a charity party. The lady is choosing her evening dress... Huh, envy? Envy is useless. Maybe a stupid girl like you has never even seen the appearance of a high-class party? "

   Meili lowered her head in silence, she had never seen it.

   "Let's wash your clothes! Remember, send it back before Saturday."

   "Yes."

  Holding the heavy basket in her arms, Meili responded with an impenetrable voice, then turned her head, and fled the courtyard faster than before.

   Walk along the Thorny Flower Street towards the laundry shop where he works.

   Along the way, she almost buried her head in the basket. For this reason, she ran into a few pedestrians and was scolded a few times before finally returning to the shop.

   "Mei Li! You don't have eyes on walking?" Mrs. Silin from the laundry shouted shrillly.

   "Yes... I'm sorry."

  "Hurry up, send the clothes to the laundry room, remember, sort them first! Write the number clearly!"

   At the roar of Mrs. Slin, Meili lowered her head, trot across the corridor, opened the door, and entered the steamy, humid laundry room.

   In the room, one after another laundresses wearing thin clothes are busy. Their work is roughly divided into washing, ironing and sizing. Before that, the clothes must be sorted.

  The higher the social class, the finer the clothes:

  The lotus leaf and lace on the edge should be handled carefully. Silk, velvet, fur and ordinary wool fabrics are divided into categories. Some clothes need to be reinforced and pleated when ironing...

   "Give it to me," an older female worker took the basket in Meili's hand, and then glanced at her curiously, "Meili, what's wrong with you?"

   "Nothing, think about something." Meili squeezed a smile, and then got busy.

   Monday’s workload is far greater than on other days.

   However, Mei Li can't help but lose her mind. In her mind, she often recalls the beautiful makeup of Miss Daisy in the villa somehow.

   Even if I force to forget, after a while, I will remember it again.

   This made her feel unconscious throughout the day, and even made a mistake, broke a piece of clothing, provoked Mrs. Slin's beating and scolding, and deducted her salary...

   Until the evening, just before nightfall, she finished her work day and returned to the "staff dormitory" below the laundry shop: a narrow storage room.

  ……

   "Squeak." Opening the dilapidated door, Meili approached her room wearily.

   The whole house is extremely small, so I can barely put down a small bed and a "table" the size of a shoe cabinet, with a small hole-like window. The room is extremely cold and the walls are covered with mildew.

   "What is this?" Suddenly, her tired hands and feet became soft, and Meili, who just wanted to fall asleep, was surprised to find that there was a small gift box on her small table.

  She walked over, with the help of the dim wall lamp, she saw a note:

   "Happy birthday."

   has no signature, and the handwriting is messy.

   "Ah!" Meili covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.

   actually... Does anyone remember her birthday?

   also secretly gave gifts?

Who is   ?

  Mrs. Tarina? Mrs. Julia? Or... she had a few "colleagues" in the store who took good care of her.

   For a moment, teardrops faintly swirled in his eyes, and the body seemed to regain strength.

   With trembling hands, she picked up the small gift box, looked at it for a long time, then slowly pulled the ribbon on the surface, opened it, and was a little surprised to find that there was a half candle inside.

  Yes, it’s a short, half-sized candle with a delicate and simple candlestick at the bottom.

  ... Meili was taken aback, and suddenly, she found a note in the box:

  "Wish candles, light them at night, and make your own wishes. At dawn, the wishes will fail."

   prank?

   For a while, Mei Li was stunned, feeling aggrieved in her heart, but after another thought, it didn't make sense. Even if it was Mrs. Slin who was not pleasing to her eyes, she would not be naive to tease her in a prank way.

   Besides...

   "This candlestick... is so exquisite." Meili held up this "prayer candle" and found that it was so exquisite and pure, even more exquisite than those used in the homes of the nobles.

   "Is it...really a gift?" Meili thought, suddenly a little uncertain, she glanced at the note again, hesitated for a while, and put the candlestick on the table with a magical spirit, and picked it up A matchbox.

   "Perhaps, it's a game." She thought, drew a match, stabbed it, and lit the candle.

   raised his head and looked through the little, like a prison window, you could see the deep night outside.

   Try a wish?

  可~IndoMTL.com~What is your wish? Meili thought about it seriously, and laughed at herself after a moment:

   "It's just a game, and it won't really happen."

   shook her head. She sat on the bed with her hands folded on her chest. After hesitating, she closed her eyes, recalling the appearance of Miss Daisy dancing her skirt, following her inner desire, and whispered:

   "I wish a beautiful evening dress."

   In the next second, the flame of the prayer candle flickered and opened a circle of light.

   In the cold room, Mei Li's shabby clothes full of patches suddenly changed into a gorgeous and unparalleled night gown.

   "I wish a pair of dancing shoes studded with diamonds."

   On Meili's feet, a pair of shoes studded with Chinese diamonds suddenly appeared, which was radiant in the dim candlelight.

  "I wish for a healthy body, a beautiful appearance...that can hold my whole person, a mirror that belongs to me alone."

   The aperture dangled, silently, Mei Li's pale, rough, and severely malnourished body suddenly became white, smooth, and plump...it could be broken by a bomb.

   On her dirty face, her facial features have not changed much, but she seems to have changed her personality.

   In front of her, a full-length mirror leaning against the wall appeared out of thin air.

   At this time, the changes in her body finally caught her attention.

   Meili opened her eyes suspiciously, and then stared dumbfounded at the flickering candlelight in the full-length mirror next to her, as well as her unparalleled beauty in her dress.

   Tonight, Meili is really beautiful.

  ps: It’s another 4,000-character chapter. In the past two days, it’s more than 7,000 words a day... I feel that it’s hard to save a manuscript when it goes on the shelves...
