Raising Octopus Juvenile - Chapter 38

“Lanny?” Cecil almost blurted out.

No one is more familiar with these eyes than her, even if they are now in another person’s eye sockets.

“…Cecile.” Alex—No, it should be “Lanny” who smiled, pure joy in his crooked green eyes.

Cecil looked away slightly and asked in a low voice, “How did you become like this? Where’s Alex?”

“I don’t know, I haven’t seen him.” Lannie shook his head, those beautiful blue eyes added a bit of magic and beauty to Alex’s face.

Cecil understood.

So he just came to see him like Alex, but he didn’t meet Alex, let alone do anything bad to Alex.

Cecil breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.

After going through the ecological park, she always felt that Lanny would eat everything, and everyone would eat it, so when she saw him become Alex, she would guess whether he had also eaten Alex in her stomach. .

Although Alex is a fool who can’t even speak, she can barely be regarded as her friend. If it is really gone, she can’t accept it.

Lanny saw Cecil kept silent, but stared at his face. He thought she didn’t like this face. After thinking about it, there was a dark, misty shadow slowly rising under her feet.

“Wait, what are you doing?” Cecil saw the shadow under his feet and quickly pressed his hand.

Lanny: “I’ll talk to you in another person.”

Cecil: “Who is it for?”

Lanny showed a thoughtful expression: “Arnold?”

Cecil: It’s not right.

“No need to change. People will pass by here from time to time. You will be discovered by others if you change.”

Cecil looked at the Alex who had Lanni eyes in front of him, and his voice softened unconsciously.

Lanny could feel the change in her mood.

Sure enough, he did not change again obediently, still maintaining the appearance of Alex. Cecil stared at his face carefully, and couldn’t help but ask in a low voice: “How did you do it? Is this some kind of magic?”

She knew that octopus mimicry was very powerful, but she didn’t know whether Lanney’s current “disguise” was the so-called mimicry.

After all, it is unknown whether he is an octopus or not.

“I don’t know.” Lannie blinked, his voice soft and calm: “This is my… ability.”

He used the word “ability” instead of “magic” or “spell”.

Just like the mimicry of an octopus, it is a skill you have, not something learned.

—Still unable to judge what he is.

Cecil stopped thinking about this difficult question. She looked at one or two students passing by occasionally, and whispered:

“How did you come?”

Hearing this, Lanny chuckled lightly.

It was clearly Alex’s face, but when he smiled like that, he felt a bit of Lanny.

That kind of playful, innocent, with a little evil and dangerous smile.

Cecil was a little bit dazed.

He said naturally: “Because I want to see you.”

Cecil was slightly startled: “I know about this. But didn’t I tell you that you have to stay at home and can’t run around. I’ll go back tonight, and you will have time to feed you…”

“I don’t want to stay at home.” Lanny interrupted her suddenly.

Hearing this, Cecil tilted his head slightly, lost in thought.

It is true that small animals like to go out and play, even marine animals are no exception. What’s more, the space of that water tank is too small, there is no entertainment in it all day long, even single-celled organisms will be bored.

“But you are a little older now. If I bring you by my side at any time, it is very likely that others will find you.” Cecil explained seriously and patiently, “And you can’t stay away from the water source. Water shortage…”

“Did you not bring me out for this reason?” Lanny looked at her faintly.

Cecil paused slightly: “Otherwise.”

Lanny said in a calm and faintly aggrieved tone: “I thought you didn’t want to see me.”

Cecil: “…”

He was right.

She originally thought that Lenny didn’t understand human emotions, and even if she had a strong learning ability, she would not have considered this level.

Unexpectedly, he was unexpectedly sharp.

Cecil pursed his lips, wondering what to say about it.

Since he was almost eaten by Lanny that night, she never allowed him to become a human again. She presses the spot every night, feeds magic power to the little octopus-shaped Lanny through the water tank, and then goes to sleep in other rooms with a pillow. In addition, there is no interaction and communication between them, and even simple touches are completely avoided.

She really didn’t want to see Lenny very much, but not because she hated him, but because she was scared.

Not only was she afraid that Lanny would eat her, but also the feeling of being slowly out of control when she was with him.

It’s bad and dangerous.

Cecil lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing how to explain. From Lannie’s perspective, her jaw is pointed, her lips are soft, and her eyelashes are pure white like falling snow, which makes people want to reach out and touch it.

Lanny wanted to touch it.

But he held back—because he could detect that Cecil was a little scared of his touch recently.

After a while, Cecil finally raised his eyelashes. She stroked the hair hanging behind her ears, half-jokingly said, “Because I’m afraid you will eat me.”

Lanny frowned when she heard her say this. Although it was Alex’s appearance now, Cecil’s mind still automatically showed the expression and expression of Lannie when he did this action.

Sure enough, his own face fits best.

This thought suddenly flashed through Cecil’s mind, untimely.

Just when she was distracted, Lanny said suddenly: “I won’t eat you anymore.”

Cecil: “Really?”

“Yeah.” Lanny looked at her seriously, with bright blue eyes, and blinking lightly, “Although I still want to…but I will try my best to endure it.”

…This kind of promise does not sound at all reassuring!

Cecil opened his mouth and was about to say something when suddenly he saw someone walking far away in their direction.

She took a closer look-it was actually Alex!

“Lanny, Alex is here, you are about to become someone else. Hurry up.” Cecil ignored the discussion of whether to eat or not, and hurriedly urged Lanny in a low voice.

Lanny thought for a moment, the color of the pupils gradually grayed out—

Cecil knew who Lenny was going to become as soon as he saw the color of this pupil.

“No, you can’t become Bode!” Cecil reminded him in a low voice.

Bode didn’t like going out and he didn’t like Professor Van Lundin. He could not appear outside of Professor Van Lundin’s class anyway.

Lanny paused when he heard the words, and then the color of the pupils slowly turned blue again, and the red hair was also a little dim, and gradually coated with a layer of gold-like light—

Is he going to become Arnold? Cecil secretly guessed while blocking his figure.

In the next second, a sweet girl’s voice without any ups and downs rang gently in Cecil’s ear.

“elder sister.”

Cecil: “…”

…He actually became Lena.

She wanted to make Lanny change another person. But it was too late, and a little red-haired young master had already approached.

Alex stopped about ten steps away from them.

He first saw Cecil facing her. Her long snow-white hair is too conspicuous in the deserted corridor.

“Hey… Cecil.” The red-haired young master called her awkwardly, and beckoned to her, “Come here.”

Cecil glanced at Lena (pseudo) in front of him, lifted his leg and was about to walk over—

Lena (pseudo) stretched out her hand and held her.

Cecil: “…”

She reluctantly said to Alex: “If you have anything, come and tell yourself.”

Alex hesitated and walked slowly in front of Cecil after a few seconds.

As soon as he saw Cecil now, he would think of the last time she hit her hook with the manservant, somewhat embarrassed.

“Actually I wanted to ask if you saw Lena? I have something to find her…” He didn’t dare to look directly at Cecil, so he had to look away to speak, and suddenly he found the blond girl next to Cecil. Kind of familiar.

Because the girl had always turned her back to him, he didn’t pay much attention just now. Now take a closer look, this back, isn’t it the Lena he is looking for?

The roots of the young master’s ears suddenly turned red: “Hey, Lena? You are here…”

Lena (pseudo) turned around and looked at him blankly.

Alex had never seen such a cold expression on Lena’s face. Those eternally warm blue eyes were as quiet and cold as the deep ocean at this time, and Alex was inexplicably flustered when he was watching such eyes.

He twisted his ten fingers nervously, his cheeks were slightly red, and he looked away awkwardly.

“Um, Lena, actually…” He didn’t hold a complete sentence for a long time, and suddenly said to Cecil unbearably, “Can you avoid it?”

Cecil realized afterwards: “Huh?”

She finally realized that she was the light bulb here. She touched her nose awkwardly and tried to back away when a cold hand suddenly caught her.

“Sister doesn’t go, I have to leave you.” Lena (pseudo) said, her voice was sweet and indifferent, with a different flavor.

Poor Alex froze instantly.

Cecil immediately went up and rounded it off: “She meant that we still have classes. If you have anything to say, please don’t waste time.”

The frustrated Alex only cheered up a little.

“Okay…actually I want to ask…” He plucked up his courage, blushed, looked at the cold blond girl, stumbled and said, “Well, has your partner been selected? If not, I hope You can think about it and join me… Last time I invited you in the wrong way, but in fact, the person I thought of at the beginning was you…”

“No.” The girl interrupted him very coldly.

Cecil: “…”

Alex: “…”

The air solidified in an instant.

Alex stood still on the spot, his face getting redder, redder, and finally red as a big tomato, as if it would explode at any time.

He glared at Lena (pseudo) in embarrassment, yelled out “You thought I really wanted to invite you, idiot” and ran away quickly, leaving only Cecil and pretending to be Lena. Lannie stood in place.

Cecil: “…”

“It doesn’t have to be so cruel…” She tried to say something.

“I don’t like him.” Lenny snorted disgustingly.

Then you just came in with someone’s face…

Cecil was in a mixed mood.

She was thinking about whether to chase Alex back and save it again, but she thought that Lena had already met the gentleman’s funny “Mr. Cavalier” in advance, and she had that shy expression at the time…

Forget it, probably won’t enter Alex’s route. If you refuse, just refuse.

Cecil shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and said to Lanny, “I’m going in for the class. Are you waiting for me outside?”

Although he didn’t know how he came, Cecil was still not at ease letting him go back alone.

Who knows if he will eat the cats and puppies on the side of the road.

Lanny: “I want to go in too.”

Cecil was silent for a moment.

“But you are like Lena now, and Lena is inside…”

Before she finished speaking, Lena changed in front of her. In the seemingly nonexistent mist, his figure gradually pulled up, and his hair became shorter and red. His pupils became deeper and deeper, and his facial features gradually became three-dimensional, showing an almost neutral face.

He changed back to Alex again.

Cecil: “…”

You are kind of adaptable.

By now, she felt that no matter what happened to Lanny, she would not be surprised.

“Well, then you sit with me.” She compromised.

Cecil led Lanney into the back door of the large classroom, found the previous position and sat down. Professor Van Lundin hasn’t arrived yet, and the classroom is still noisy, so no one noticed the abnormality just now.

Lena saw that there was an Alex next to Cecil when he came back, and couldn’t help feeling a little curious: “Alex, didn’t you say that you don’t like healing, why did you come to attend the class?”

The delicate red-haired youth said unceremoniously: “What is your business.”

Lena: “…”

Cecil felt that Lenny’s attitude was really worse than her so-called wicked daughter.

“It’s none of my business,” Lena calmed down and continued to say quietly, “but can you not sit between my sister and me?”

At this time, the red-haired young man was sitting upright between Cecil and Lena, and completely separated the two sisters with his own body.

Hearing that, the red-haired young man glanced at her with the end of his eyes, and replied with a disdainful, indifferent, even disgusting tone: “No.”

Cecil: “…”

Lanny is crazy today.

Lena’s good temper has been completely shattered. She looked at Alex in front of her angrily, and said unbearably: “Alex, I have never seen someone as unreasonable as you!”

When Cecil saw that it was broken, he immediately said, “Alex, come out for me.”

After finishing talking, before Lena could react, she forcibly took out Lannila who was pretending to be Alex.

This time, in case she met another acquaintance, she kept Lannilla to the back of the teaching building before stopping. There are many camphor trees planted in this area, with luxuriant branches and leaves, which is a good place to be hidden and clean.

“You’d better not go to class and follow me to the Dark Tower.” Cecil reluctantly suggested.

Lenny slowly changed back to what she was.

Black hair, green eyes, pale skin.

The sunlight passed through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows on his face, shattered and bright, as if to melt him.

“I’m not going.” He said.

Cecil was puzzled and frowned slightly: “Why?”

“I don’t want to see other people.”

What’s wrong with this?

Cecil was faintly worried.

I don’t want to stay at home for a while, and I don’t want to see other people…

Could it be because you haven’t eaten enough and you’re hungry and depressed?
