Chapter 36 - There's a Ghost In Our Encampment

Luo Xin took the device and walked around the encampment. He used his power to increase his perception and the sensitivity of the device, but he found nothing.

There was no reaction from the device.

Back at the office, Luo Xin sat on the sofa in deep thought.

Allie and Nainai pushed the door open and entered.

The two girls had already finished washing up.

Allie was very energetic.

Nainai didn’t have enough sleep and was a little dazed.

Allie noticed Luo Xin frowning and thinking, so she asked, “Luo Xin, what happened?”

Luo Xin replied “The grass meat patties are gone.”

Allie was stunned.

Nainai instantly woke up.

“I didn’t eat it. That thing was too unpalatable.”

“I didn’t eat any either.”

The three of them stared at each other.

“So, there’s a ghost in our encampment,” Luo Xin said with a serious expression.

Allie’s face turned pale.

Nainai immediately said, “I told you there was a ghost! You guys didn’t believe me… There’s really a ghost in this place!”

Nainai Meow jumped onto Luo Xin’s body again, looking left and right in fear. Her cat ears twitched non-stop as she tried to capture the sounds around her.

Allie also ran over in fear and grabbed Luo Xin’s clothes. Many figurines started floating around her.

Luo Xin looked at Allie, then at Nainai.

His gaze fell on Nainai’s cat ears.

Regarding the rabbit girl’s sudden disappearance.

He had a guess.

The observer effect.

She didn’t run away, but because someone else had noticed her, so she ‘disappeared’. But she had always been around.

Luo Xin consoled the two girls and released his ability to reduce the effect of the ability on them.

The next moment, the three of them held their breaths.

On the sofa opposite the three of them, a rabbit girl was sitting there. She was holding the bag of grass meat pies and eating them with great interest. She was even smacking her lips.

The four of them looked at each other.

“Meow!”

Nainai Meow behaved as though she had seen something terrifying. She let out a shriek and hid behind Luo Xin.

Under Allie’s control, her figurines formed a line of defense.

The bunny girl was stunned for several seconds before she nimbly flipped and jumped, hiding behind the sofa. Her rabbit ears drooped down and stuck to her hair, revealing only two big round eyes, peeking at the three people.

Luo Xin immediately stopped Allie. He said, “Don’t attack her. Let me handle it.”

He turned on his watch and found the translation software.

Although the common language had become popular, the past information had been preserved. He found the ancient language of the ice field subtribe rabbit race. He opened the software and said to his watch, “Don’t be nervous, we won’t hurt you.”

The watch made a series of sounds.

The rabbit girl’s eyes lit up, and her rabbit ears instantly perked up and shook twice. She stood up and mumbled a long string of words.

The watch translator said, “Can you understand what I am saying? That’s great! Where is this place? Do you guys know where the ‘Ice’ tribe is? …”

The rabbit girl was very excited.

Luo Xin patted Allie’s back, signaling her to keep the figurines.

Seeing that the rabbit girl was not a ghost, Nainai wasn’t afraid anymore. She stretched out her head to observe the rabbit girl.

Both parties sat down to discuss.

The watch was placed in the middle.

As the language was ancient, the speed of reading was slow.

“What’s your name?” Luo Xin asked.

“Lia.”

“Smart,” the watch translator said.

Luo Xin replied, “Miss Lia…”

“It’s Lia, not Liya,” said Lia with her cheeks puffed up.

“It’s smart, not stupid,” the watch translator said.

“Liya?”

“Big idiot?” the watch translator asked.

“It’s Lia!”

“It’s smart!” the watch translator said.

Luo Xin, Allie, and Nainai were all speechless.

The three of them could not distinguish the difference in pronunciation.

Luo Xin expressed his understanding.

After all, in his previous life, there were some places where he could not even differentiate between genders.

Perhaps he did not even have the concept of certain pronunciation that was needed for this ancient language.

Luo Xin said, “Let’s talk business. Why are you at our encampment? Do you have the wave stone? Why did you wake up from your deep sleep?”

With the help of the translation device, the two sides communicated with each other.

Although there were some mishaps in the translation, he quickly figured out the whole story.

Lia was the target that the secret forces were looking for.

She was the last young lady in the ice field subtribe rabbit race.

After she woke up, she found that her surroundings were very unfamiliar, so she ran around in fear. Soon, she realized that the people around her could not ‘see’ her, and she could not understand what they were saying.

The young girl was like a headless chicken, wandering aimlessly.

After discovering Old Yuan Street near the museum, she stayed there.

She could still understand the architecture there, but the tall buildings and hover cars in other places were like monsters to an ancient person like Lia. She could not understand them at all.

She was freeloading on Old Yuan Street.

Until a week ago.

She met Luo Xin. He was the first person to see her.

The two only talked for a short while before Luo Xin ‘couldn’t see’ her anymore.

Lia was very disappointed, but she did not give up.

She followed the three of them all the way back to the encampment and found that the environment was quite good, so she settled down there.

Until now.

Nainai Meow fiercely said, “So you were the one who was scaring me! Meow!”

The cat girl was aggressive, her two little paws moving back and forth, trying to grab the rabbit girl’s chest. However, Luo Xin stopped her and asked the rabbit girl seriously, “Do you have the wave stone?”

“What’s a wave stone?”

“I’ll use the term you used back then. It’s called demon’s heart.”

“You’re talking about this.”

Lia pulled open her collar, and her chest almost jumped out. Above the ravine, a strange light spot could be seen.

That was when Luo Xin realized that the rabbit girl was actually wearing his shirt.

He focused his attention on the wave stone and reached out to touch it. A distorted feeling came from the wave stone.

As a concept esper, this kind of distortion was somewhat familiar. The function of this thing was actually similar to a concept esper, but there were some differences.

Lia’s face was red as she softly asked, “Can you take your hand away?”

“Uh… Sorry.” Luo Xin quickly retracted his hand and asked seriously, “Can you control this thing?”

Lia shook her head and replied, “No, I can’t take it off. It seems to have grown on my body.”

“Did you create the monsters?”

“Are you talking about the demons?”

“Yes, it’s the monster that appeared under the influence of this thing.”

“It’s not me. It should be this.”

Lia stretched out her hand and pointed at the ceiling.

Luo Xin, Allie, and Nainai were all speechless.

Nainai Meow unhappily asked, “What do you mean by ‘this’? Explain clearly.”

Lia said, “A supreme demon is in the sky. We can’t see him from here. Let’s go to a place where we can see the sky.”

“Alright, let’s go out.”

Luo Xin stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of a problem.

If there are other observers, Lia might disappear.

After some thought, he came up with a solution.

He would use his ability on Lia to strengthen her sense of existence and reduce the effect of the ability she received.

He released his ability.

In the end, he realized that his ability was not working well.

This rabbit maiden actually had the strength of a third-tier.

Luo Xin said, “Lia, I’m using my ability on you. Don’t resist.”

“Alright…”

The resistance immediately disappeared.

After his ability was successfully activated, he withdrew his protection from Allie and Nainai.

Lia did not disappear.

This method was indeed feasible, but Lia had to be within his ability range.
