The mysterious light group's new visit came two hours after the last visit.
During the routine maintenance of his gun, Zhan Chen suddenly became aware of some kind of external spying.
Unlike those peeping people in the laboratory who were watching him with ulterior motives, the one hiding somewhere watching him was both cautious and curious. He followed the direction of the gaze, but the one he was looking for was not on him at all.
That small ball of light dissolved in the moonlight, pushed open a tiny crack in the window, and quietly peeked in.
The light stared at the spring in his hand.
…
Zhan Chen subconsciously quickened his movements.
The cleaned gun parts were neatly assembled and reset in his hands, and the magazine snapped together crisply. Zhan Chen held the gun without releasing the safety, raised his hand to aim as usual, and then braked.
Although the origin of this ball of light is unclear, it does not have any malicious intent after all.
So far, the only targets of this light have been everything shiny in his house and the milk biscuits.
Zhan Chen placed the gun gently on the table.
He raised his head and followed his instinct to look over there, looking at the moonlight streaming in from the window, and tilted his head slightly.
The light from the street lamps is very bright, blending with the moonlight, and there are many paths to walk on.
The ball of light was quite confident, shining majestically as it met his gaze.
The young worker, who had just become an adult for five minutes, couldn't help it. He pursed his lips, raised his hand seriously and made a shooting motion, aimed at the light and fired with a "bang".
The ball of light was startled and was about to slip away quickly as usual, when the window door behind it was suddenly slammed shut by a hand.
The thick blackout cloth instantly blocked out all the lights and moonlight.
The table lamp in the room went out at the same time, and the whole room fell into silent darkness.
The ball of light was caught off guard and trapped in a human trap. When it was about to breathe, the hand gently grasped it and hid it in the corner.
An armed patrol arrived outside his window.
These people wore thick protective clothing and goggles, and used the most advanced instruments in the laboratory to examine the remaining fluctuations in the space piece by piece.
If you don't know the inside story and just watch these people scanning the air inch by inch with instruments, the scene will almost seem funny.
…
When stealing laboratory materials, Zhan Chen once understood the uses of these instruments.
They were created to capture a supernatural phenomenon - for unknown reasons, more and more people in the alliance have disappeared without reason in recent years. Some of these people will appear in some other random location, wandering around without memory, but many people can never find any trace after disappearing.
The director of the police department told Zhan Chen that his parents were among those unfortunate missing persons, so Zhan Chen took the initiative to do this job.
Director of the Emergency Services Bureau, Zhan Chen, said that this supernatural phenomenon was called an "electronic storm" by the Ministry of Science.
Everyone who has access to information about electron storms knows that they are a type of magnetic storm that rages out of control from deep in the universe.
It wanders in the galaxy, devouring all matter it touches. It is the most serious and terrifying natural disaster for the interstellar alliance that has entered the first cosmic civilization.
The Ministry of Science believes that only by mastering the technology to capture and manipulate electronic storms can the interests and safety of the entire alliance be guaranteed.
"Do not move."
Zhan Chen pressed the ball of light and whispered, "Be careful with these people. If they are caught as an electronic storm, they will be sent for experimental research."
Little Light Ball didn't understand what "cushion storm" meant. He looked at the cushions on the sofa, his eyes flashing with confusion.
Zhan Chen took a deep breath and raised his hand to press his forehead.
… He knew many languages, but he couldn't seem to find any one that could be used to communicate smoothly with the ball of light in front of him.
The most outstanding worker ever trained by the Ministry of Safety stood still, pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind to hide the ball of light under the window.
Zhan Chen squatted down and pointed at the people outside the window.
He thought for a few seconds, rolled up his shirt sleeves, assumed a ferocious posture as if he were hunting, and made the most ferocious face he could remember towards the small ball of light that came from nowhere.
If it weren't for the fact that only by perfectly reproducing every detail could they successfully pass the automatic verification of the bureau and successfully complete this mission that originally belonged to only two people, this would probably be the plot that Lieutenant Colonel Zhan, who had been hired as a training instructor for the Ministry of Security, most wanted to delete.
…
After finishing the communication, Zhan Chen stood up again and focused on the situation outside the window.
Those people were probably chasing some special vibrations, but they found nothing and had to put away their detection instruments.
It was not the first time that they had failed. They put away the traps and electromagnetic cages they had set, complained about the heavy protective clothing, and walked away in disappointment.
"Okay, it's okay now."
Zhan Chen waited until the last figure disappeared before he opened the curtains again and apologized gently, "I was in a hurry just now and didn't have time to discuss it with you. It's my fault—"
The remaining ones were forcibly swallowed back by the fierce and ferocious light and shadow in front of them.
Zhan Chen leaned against the windowsill and opened his eyes slightly.
In front of him, there were a revolving list of vicious species in the universe that were either recorded by the Ministry of Security or not recorded at all. The one that pounced on him now was a humanoid monster with long narrow wings and countless octopus-like tentacles.
These flexible tentacles were still spreading arrogantly, trying to wrap around him.
The little ball of light was very brave. Not only was he not frightened, he also quickly learned this human scare game, wrapping the human with his tentacles and making a super ferocious face.
Zhan Chen: “…”
The ball of light thought it had won this round, so it majestically released its tentacles, slid out of the window along the moonlight, and jumped away on the street lamp.
—
Zhan Chen closed the page.
The flow of time in the story world is different from that in the outside world. A few days pass in the story world, but in the real world, it only takes the next second when he opens the door.
Zhan Chen put the food back on the shelf and stood up.
It’s quiet outside the window, and the night is getting darker.
The stars twinkled brightly, and the dark sky was boundless, extending to the end of the vast vision.
It will probably rain tonight. Thick clouds are rolling in from the corners of the sky, blocking out half of the moonlight.
Zhuang Yu had already left, and he brought his medals and the military uniform with his new rank with him, and placed them neatly on the chair.
Zhan Chen turned the knob of the desk lamp to the brightest level and returned to the sofa.
He sat down on the ground and reached out to scoop up a dim ball of light from the fortress made of pillows.
The scope of this book only extends to his dormitory. In the story, the little light master is still as warm and bright as before, and will rub his palm gently again and again.
He once tried to make some appropriate revisions, wanting to delete some less necessary plots, but his seniors in the supervision department repeatedly reminded him that any rash changes might lead to unexpected changes.
Based on his past experience working in the Bureau of Data Science, these bored data seniors were most likely making fun of him, but Zhan Chen was still not prepared to take any risks.
The effect of the story world was obvious, and the energy was flowing back faster than he had imagined.
Having only entered it once, the ball of light in the palm of my hand was still a little dim, but at least it was no longer as cold as when I just came back, and ice chips would fall off at the slightest touch.
Zhan Chen stretched out his hand and gathered the small ball of light in his palm.
Rather than being familiar with his own body, he was actually more familiar with Yu Tang's every condition.
When Yu Tang was about to completely transform back into the electronic storm, he was forcibly reversed and brought back home. Compared with maintaining the human form and slowly sleeping to recover energy, this was safer and more secure.
… If Yu Tang remained in human form, Zhan Chen would not be able to control himself from hugging him.
Instead of holding him, I rocked him slowly to comfort him a little, watching that body sleeping quietly without any consciousness, as if it would take the light to cross thousands of galaxies before it could wake up.
…
Zhan Chen closed his eyes, placed the small ball of light on his forehead, and rubbed it gently.
When Zhan Chen was in charge of the game mall, whenever he had time, he would quietly find an NPC identity and go to see Yu Tang's work in that world line.
That was an electron storm that stripped away half of the core particles, and it was also an electron storm that was deceived thirteen times.
The boy who was transferred from the Incompetent Housekeeping Department to the Spare Tire Department had the initial appearance of a police officer. His dark eyes were cold and indifferent, like a newly created primary AI.
Yu Tang doesn't understand human life, nor does he have much interest in it. Apart from following the plot, he just stays in his villa playing games.
The third time he saw Yu Tang go to collect the free meal for employees and carry a bathtub to the cinema to eat a box lunch, Zhan Chen finally couldn't help but use his authority to open a back door and illegally open the emotional value exchange system for the employees of the spare tire department.
Before he could rush over, the electronic storm had completely completed the absorption and evolution of information.
Yu Tang can develop a system in three days, triple the turnover in a week, and acquire a company in two months.
But his little ball of light has not yet learned to sleep well in bed.
…
Zhan Chen put the ball of light back into the pile of pillows, wrapped it carefully in a blanket, stood up, walked to the desk, and opened his laptop.
The little mecha avatar in the corner lit up impatiently.
The system and the game world stayed at the edge of the dimension, responsible for the final stage of maintenance and support, and sent a hundred messages every day to inquire about Yu Tang's situation.
System: Zhan Xianxi, Zhan Xianxi, is the host feeling better
Zhan Chen did not correct his address: Not bad.
Zhan Chen: Today we are going to start the first stage of the story. Next he is going to steal my spring.
After learning how to make faces to scare humans, Xiao Guangtuan became addicted to the game. He scare people tirelessly for three days and finally become friends with the first human.
Zhan Chen had his springs stolen for three consecutive days, so he made up his mind to find the shiniest button to give to his new friend.
The system message came back instantly: Mr. Zhan, you have to be careful then.
Zhan Chen: What
The system types much faster than humans, and characters appear on the screen with almost no spacing.
System: The game world says that this method of utilizing the energy that flows back from the other world sometimes does not necessarily mean that what flows back is energy.
System: It may awaken some memories, may cause a brief period of spatial cognitive confusion, or may even reproduce a scene that left the deepest impression on me at that time...
Zhan Chen was about to ask for more clarification when he suddenly felt something was not right.
…someone took his mouse.
Zhan Chen felt empty and was stunned unconsciously.
A new message from the system popped up: Zhan Xianxi, Zhan Xianxi, please be careful.
System: I still have some memory fragments of the host. When he was still a ball of light, he didn't quite understand the rules of the human world. He once used his tentacles to wrap around you because he liked you as soon as he met you and wanted to snatch you back to sleep...
System: Show first
…
In the bedroom, Zhan Chen suddenly fell on the bed.
The force wrapped around him was not very strong, but it was extremely stubborn, wrapping him tightly like an overbearing octopus.
Zhan Chen took a few seconds to recover, and he suppressed the corners of his mouth, but a smile finally overflowed from his eyes.
"Master Xiaoguangtuan." Zhan Chen said softly, "Come, we are at home."
The force was still a little hesitant, as if it was carefully distinguishing the authenticity this time.
The memory of the past is flowing back and overlapping with the memory of being deceived repeatedly. The current electronic storm is only making people more vigilant.
The electronic storm spun twice in Zhan Chen's arms, wanting to flee away through the light coming through the gap in the curtains, but it just couldn't bear to leave.
Zhan Chen stretched out his hand, accurately picked out his light from the dim light of the bedroom, held him in his arms, and kissed him gently and carefully.
The ball of light in his arms suddenly flickered brightly.
"Look, you got me back."
Zhan Chen patiently asked for his opinion: "Master Xiaoguang, can I hold you in my arms forever when I sleep?"
