Chapter 83 Fair for All Ages
Natural enemies.
This term is quite common in nature.
It refers to animals in the natural world that specifically hunt or harm other species, thus making them natural enemies.
Mo Rabbit obtained information about LuLu Lana’s stars through divination, leading to this conclusion.
Facing Yi Xing’s dubious gaze, Mo Rabbit continued, “Which means the girl’s star has a higher impact on star eclipses than any other star. Just like the contact earlier; there was a strong reaction. Fortunately, the puppet master’s level is high enough, otherwise she would have been harmed by that force.”
“Is it really that scary?” Yi Xing was somewhat surprised.
If LuLu Lana’s star were to grow, it would undoubtedly be the kryptonite for all star eclipses.
If the Huaxia Night Watchers were to cultivate her, she would definitely become a Sunlight Night Watcher and a top strategist against star eclipses.
However, this star seems to only react with star eclipses. Besides countering star eclipses, it appears useless.
To put it simply, a star that’s both strong and weak.
“But don’t worry too much. Her star just awakened, and her mental strength is very low. It can’t harm any of our theater group members. Plus, she can’t get too close to a strong star eclipse, or she’ll get hurt too. It’s like a self-protective mechanism of her own star,” Mo Rabbit added, quickly clarifying things.
LuLu Lana had been studying hard about stars and star eclipses recently and naturally understood the Announcer’s words.
“So I can’t be friends with any of you, huh?” LuLu Lana’s eyes welled up as if she was extremely heartbroken.
Yi Xing hurriedly comforted her, “Don’t be sad, LuLu Lana. Even if you can’t touch each other, you can still be friends. After all, we aren’t afraid, and neither am I nor the playwright or singer or the announcer. We can all touch.”
“Even your head pigeon?”
LuLu Lana’s mood improved considerably. She couldn’t help but look curiously at the Guqiu perched on Yi Xing’s head.
This pigeon looked quite sentient, almost as if it’s about to speak.
“Goo, what’re you staring at?”
“Oh my! It really spoke!”
Yi Xing took Guqiu off their head, holding it in their hands, and introduced them, “This pigeon is called Guqiu. It’s a prop for our theater troupe, loves French fries, and it’s also a star eclipse.”
“So I can’t touch it either?”
“Ahh…”
Yi Xing was about to say they probably shouldn’t, but Mo Rabbit interjected first, “Just give it a try.”
Then, LuLu Lana cautiously touched Guqiu’s feathers. Instantly, a dazzling white light appeared.
“Goo goo goo!!”
Bam!
Guqiu quickly fell to the ground, producing a cloud of black smoke while twitching slightly. It looked quite pitiful.
After a few seconds, Guqiu recovered and loudly squawked.
“Goo! This hurts me so much!”
Mo Rabbit smiled gleefully.
“At least you won’t d*e, though.”
Though Guqiu was a weak star eclipse, it had immortality. It could even revive from ashes like Tom and Jerry.
LuLu Lana apologized to Guqiu quickly and then felt disappointed.
“So I really can’t touch?”
Yi Xing didn’t know what else to say.
If LuLu Lana’s friends were normal people, it would be fine. But Yi Xing mainly introduced star eclipses, which made it quite awkward.
“Don’t worry. Even if you can’t touch, you can be friends. Isn’t it enough if I cuddle with you? And who knows, maybe you’ll be able to control your powers someday. Then you won’t need to worry about hurting your star eclipse friends anymore!”
“Mmm…”
Afterward, Yi Xing took LuLu Lana home.
Earlier, she forced herself to use her star power in an attempt to harm the supernova star eclipse of the puppets’ city but failed due to insufficient power.
Thus, LuLu Lana felt mentally exhausted.
So Yi Xing thought it best to bring her back to rest.
Members of the theater troupe gradually dispersed.
For them, this was just a minor incident, not worth remembering.
After Yi Xing took LuLu Lana home, they left to let her rest undisturbed.
As soon as Yi Xing was gone, the room was left only with LuLu Lana lying quietly in bed, feeling weak both in body and mind. She now just wanted to sleep.
Before long, LuLu Lana closed her eyes, about to drift into sleep.
“Huh…”
In a daze, she felt something prompting her to open her eyes.
“Hmm?”
LuLu Lana opened her hazy eyes; her burgundy eyes weren’t particularly bright, not fully awake yet.
She glanced around and noticed someone standing beside her bed.
“Mom…?”
But after closer examination, she realized it wasn’t her mother because her mother did not have silver hair and gold eyes!
Standing beside her bed was a stranger, quite refined but neither clearly female nor male, giving a neutral impression.
“Who are you?”
LuLu Lana nervously tightened her blankets, slightly frightened.
She worried it might be some terrible criminal breaking in, or worse, kidnapping her.
The figure with silver hair and gold eyes spoke, “My name is Hilo.”
“Hilo? Is there something wrong?” LuLu Lana asked warily.
“Detected abnormalities nearby and traced here.”
Hilo’s words were concise, avoiding lengthy discussions, giving a calm impression.
“Hmm…”
LuLu Lana pondered this, recalling that Yi Xing had just left.
Could Hilo be here to find Yi Xing?
Would they cause trouble for Yi Xing instead?
LuLu Lana figured it best to handle the situation tactfully and tell Yi Xing later to beware.
“Hilo-san, nothing abnormal is happening here.”
Hilo remained silent and extended a hand in LuLu Lana’s surprised gaze.
“Uhh… Don’t come closer…”
Sadly, LuLu Lana lacked the strength to scream or run away and could only watch Hilo’s hand approach.
A blinding light flared up instantly, halting Hilo’s hand.
“Cleaning power.”
Confirming this, Hilo retracted their hand.
It was then that LuLu Lana realized her star had activated again.
But earlier, someone mentioned her star only activates upon contact with star eclipses…
A hypothesis formed in LuLu Lana’s mind, causing her to stare at Hilo in sheer disbelief.
“Could Hilo-san… also be a star eclipse?”
Upon hearing this, Hilo nodded lightly.
“Fair for all ages.”
At these four words, LuLu Lana recognized this might be the true name for a star eclipse, causing her some nervousness.
While her mother had recently emphasized how dangerous star eclipses are, she’d noticed that many members of the Rising Sun Theater Troupe are star eclipses, looking friendly and harmless.
So, she didn’t think all star eclipses are evil.
“Will Hilo-san hurt me?”
“I’m quite friendly towards humans.”
