The Endless Abyss
In the hospital room, Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou stared at each other. Su Su carefully recalled the contents of the book, trying to understand the Language of Magic she had just heard. After Doudou quietly explained it to her, she too was at a loss.
Of course, the three were shocked for different reasons. Since Su Su did not understand what was special about the Statue of Order, she was astonished that the statue back "home" had come alive. Doudou and Qin Xiaoxia, on the other hand, were utterly floored.
Holy shit, Kormir's Statue was alive? Could this be a "true god" descending?
"Master? Kemanduo? What... what should I do?"
Even through Mumu's mimicked voice, its nervousness was plain to hear.
Qin Xiaoxia did not know what to do either. The Mystic Realm's power was already so weak that it probably would not be much help. Not only had he yet to recover, but he was also too far away to do anything.
"Ahem... Mumu, stay calm. Protect the crystal mine as best you can and keep observing. Don't act rashly. Wait for further instructions from me."
With every sentence Qin Xiaoxia spoke, Mumu nodded its wooden head on the other end in a remarkably human manner.
By the time he finished telling it to wait for further instructions, Mumu discovered that the call had ended before it could say anything.
Uh...
It was no fool. Its master's meaning was already clear: I can't do anything right now either. Handle it as you see fit.
Recalling how it had felt to coil around the statue earlier gave it a little more confidence.
*Stay calm, stay calm! Most of it is still just a statue. Only a small part has come alive! Everything will be fine once Master
