In front of them, the fully armed Yan Huan and Meow-chan widened their eyes, watching Little Thumb complain and look utterly frustrated in An Le's helpless arms...
After a few seconds, Yan Huan took a sharp breath and said,
"Meow-chan, why does it seem even more useless than you?"
"Meow?!"
This left Meow-chan fuming... though its face seemed to be black to begin with.
To prove its prowess, it took the lead and leapt towards Little Thumb, gently tapping its head with a paw pad,
"Stop crying, meow! Get up, we need to ask you something!"
"Whose... whose voice is this?"
Little Thumb blankly looked up, only to see the thin face of a black cat.
Hiss...
Looks familiar...
During that time in the hospital, didn't I chase this black cat?
"Is... is it you?"
"It's I, the divine meow!"
"..."
Staring at the flaunting black cat, Little Thumb's expression suddenly turned fierce, and it opened wide its jaws ready to bite.
"Meow?!"
Seeing this, Meow-chan was shocked, quickly turning to burrow into Yan Huan's embrace.
Meanwhile, Little Thumb, in its fury, lunged towards Yan Huan.
Actually, at this moment, a ruthless iron hand suddenly grabbed its heart area, the vital point.
"Gah!"
Little Thumb's lengthy body was squeezed into a vertical stripe, and when lifted up, turning its head to An Le's dark expression, it showed an embarrassed smile,
"Hehe... can... can we reconcile?"
"..."
...
...
"So... the descent of the divine has been thwarted by Yan Huan and you, this local god..."
After a brief physical reprimand, Little Thumb nestled back into the sunny embrace of An Le, completely dispirited.
It lowered its head dazedly, looking somewhat dejected.
Mainly, it was really in despair.
Earlier, the descent of the divine made it feel the pain of death.
It assumed that after completing its mission, it should receive divine commendation.
Or rather, even if it was viewed as a disposable tool, it should feel honored...
But that pain and fear made it hesitate.
Moreover, now it was caught by the local god, the host, and that Child of Fate.
It's scared they might soon find a way to annihilate its soul, destroying it in an instant!
Either way is death, retreating is death too...
That's truly hopeless.
At this moment, Little Thumb was like a motionless statue, devoid of vitality.
Unbeknownst to it, Yan Huan and Meow-chan were also having a mental conversation,
"Meow-chan, is there a way to temporarily retain An Le's modifier while erasing it?"
Yan Huan scrutinized Little Thumb, a murderous intent in his eyes,
"Having something constantly feeding deceit into An Le's mind is trouble, and at a crucial moment, it could cause devastation."
"Meow... there should be a way, but I don't know right now meow..."
"... could you possibly be even more useless?"
Meow-chan gave an innocent look at Yan Huan,
"I can embed my consciousness into the modifier, transforming myself, but that's because I created your modifier, so I know its principles and structure... I don't know An Le's modifier, I need to study it first."
"..."
So, we have to keep fooling it for now?
But, seeing it so scared...
Thinking this, Yan Huan put on a fierce demeanor, glancing at An Le.
Although Yan Huan didn't say anything, An Le seemed to get the message and instantly guessed what Yan Huan intended.
One plays bad cop, the other plays good cop.
"Little Thumb, you..."
Next second, Yan Huan gritted his teeth and started,
However, before he could finish, Little Thumb in An Le's arms trembled all over, immediately raising its head in panic,
"Don't... don't let An Le abandon me! I still have value! I know the information on other modifiers! Don't... don't kill me!! I don't want to die... waaah..."
"..."
Apparently, this fool doesn't know solving the modifier requires hosts to give up simultaneously...
It only knows now if An Le speaks, it will die, with no room for resistance, so it immediately gave a pathetic surrender.
All right, hurry and sit at the table with Meow-chan.
"You... know information about other modifiers?"
But Yan Huan was quite intrigued by one of its statements.
"Really! Absolutely true! An Le can testify! So you see, when she was drawing other hosts like spinning tops, it was all thanks to me!"
An Le nodded to confirm but added one more thing,
"However, Little Thumb knows nothing about Bai Yi's modifier."
"Rig... right, I forgot, I don't know the ring finger's ability..."
Ring Finger?
In Yan Huan's mind, the puzzle of the modifier hosts started to form more clearly.
Thinking so, he accordingly said,
"... alright, I'll give you a chance since you're somewhat useful, but if I find out you're plotting, spreading lies to An Le, you're finished, got it?"
No way, you surely don't think An Le's explosions were all my fault, do you?
Upon hearing this, Little Thumb felt more unjustly wronged than Dou E.
Don't even talk about now, even before, would I dare blurt nonsense in front of An Le?
This person is like a ghost!
Damn it, she knows everything and loves to self-destruct over nothing...
Would I dare speak?
Little Thumb glanced at An Le, who shyly bit her lip, softly saying,
"Afterward, I want to help Xiao Huan deal with other modifiers… if Little Thumb, you help me, maybe you could... stay?"
