Annie’s existence was special. She was a special existence that had split from a Great Old One, but had a kind soul.

Perhaps she had great power like the Great Old Ones.

Maybe she also had a long lifespan and a powerful body.

A young but very malleable existence.

If Annie was brought away by the Elder Things, she might turn into a cold machine to complete missions like Xi, or even end up dissected and studied.

Mag had already decided to protect Annie with all his might when he brought her home, even if he had to give up his life.

Hence, he wanted the Elder Things to stop having such thoughts—at least while he was still alive.

Xi looked at Mag with a frown. This was a stubborn human and a troublesome fellow.

“She is a brand-new life form. She’s different from Cthulhu. She deserves the right to lead a normal life like any young girl

in this area.”

Mag picked up the Little Mermaid picture book on the counter, and tossed it to Xi, “She also deserves to have a dream of becoming a comic artist. This child has extraordinary talent

Xi caught the picture book. The mermaid on the cover should have come from Lantisde. It was very exquisitely and beautifully drawn. The mermaid maiden’s cuteness was perfectly displayed.

She recalled the picture book that the girl held when she came downstairs. It seemed to have a rabbit and a tortoise on the cover. It looked rather cute too.

“Only you and I know about this matter now. If possible, I hope you can keep this secret for me.” Mag looked at Xi, and solemnly and sincerely said, “There is no evil without a cause in this world. I hope she can become a kind and interesting young lady.”

“Lwill evaluate this matter and then process it.” Xi kept that picture book. She didn’t reveal her attitude towards this matter, but instead said, “But we can discuss the earthquake two days ago. I’ve bet you caused it too.”

“Yes. That was indeed caused by me.” Mag nodded honestly.

“You’re not an honest human.” Xi frowned.

He actually got through the lie detector. His previous answers didn’t trigger the lie detector at all.

“The human body also has an unlimited potential, while machinery always has an upper limit,” Mag calmly replied.

“What was it?”

“According to the instruction manual, it’s a nuclear-powered printing machine,” Mag answered.

“Nuclear-powered printing machine?” A rare surprised expression appeared on Xi’s face.

‘The Elder Things’ technological advancements were extremely high. Nuclear power was already utilized in many areas of their lives, including transportation.

However, it was too weird to discover a nuclear-powered printing machine on the Norland Continent, which had only just started to use the steam engine.

“Where did you get this printing machine from? An alien civilization?” Xi’s expression turned solemn.

An invasion of an alien civilization was an extremely serious matter. The descent of the Cthulhu gods and its servant species had brought a catastrophe that almost annihilated the Elder Things in the past.

Mag shook his head. “No. I got it from an old equipment bay that I dug out deep underground. There was some machinery and books in it, including that printing machine.”

“May I take a look at those things?”

“Lhave already shipped the printing machine back to Chaos City. I can give the other items to you.” Mag went upstairs, and came down with a gigantic wooden box. He placed it right in front of Xi.

Xi opened the box, and saw two bundles of the nine years compulsory education’s teaching materials, the practice exercise books for the college entry exams along with two Dragonball comic books, some old CRT television, old radio, an aircraft carrier’s model, a Thanos figurine, a Black Panther figurine,

an Ultraman Transformer… etc. It was filled with weird objects.

Looking at that scary Thanos figurine, Xi’s expression became much more solemn. Perhaps this was an outlook of some foreign god.

Meanwhile, she couldn’t recognize all the characters in those old books. She needed to bring them back to let the elders decipher them.

“That’s all. If you need to, you can take them all with you,” Mag said frankly.

“Thank you.” Xi kept the box in her equipment bay. There was less wariness when she looked at Mag again. “I will find Josh and Rankster as soon as possible. If you have information on them, please notify me immediately too.”

“To happy cooperation.” Mag extended his hand to her.

Xi flicked a glance at his hand, nodded, and then left.

“Hah, women.” Mag smoothed his hair with one hand. He really heaved a breath of relief after he watched Xi keep her assault rifle and disappear at the tavern’s door.

“system, do you think the wise men of the Elder Things will lose themselves in the ocean of the practice exercise books for the college entry exams?” Mag closed the door, and suddenly felt a little sorry for those wise men who were about to get “baptized” by those bits of knowledge and questions.

“That’s a little naughty of you.”

‘They were prepared by the system as per Mag’s request.

“Since an advanced civilization exists, does it mean that there are really gods in this world? They are just hiding in places where we can’t see them? That means they could communicate with their successors or people through certain means?” Mag mumbled questionably.

“Looking at it now, there is such a possibility,” the system answered.

“The Maotai liquor is very scrumptious. It’s an exquisite liquor that can hardly be found in the Underground City. Furthermore, there is also another liquor called whiskey in this tavern. It has a unique smokey taste. After getting used to it, it’s equally mesmerizing.

“However, the boss of this tavern has another identity. His real name is Mag Alex. He’s currently the number one powerhouse of the human race, and also the number one powerhouse of all the known races on the Norland Continent. He has already broken through the 10th-tier restriction, and is able to

threaten me.

“He has taken part in the battle to reseal the upper body of Cthulhu, and made a very important contribution in that battle. The Cthulhu was struck by lightning in that battle, and a kind soul was rent out from it, and it became a little girl…”

Xi looked at the half-written Observer’s Diary, pondered for a moment, and deleted the last sentence before continuing.

“Tinteracted with him, and obtained important information about the seal that was broken under Sky Isle. This matter was related to the chief of the Frost Dragons, ‘Rankster.’ I need to find him as soon as possible.

“There is also a new development on the Rodu’s nuclear incident. It was caused by a nuclear-powered printing machine. This item was dug by Mag Alex from an underground cavern.

“An equipment bay was also dug out along with it. There are many peculiar objects in it, including dozens of ancient texts that are written in an alien script. I have already secured them, and will send them back to the Underground City as soon as possible for study. They might be related to an alien

civilization.
