A few days have passed since the placement of the Ark civilization was completed, and this period of time is a rare and stable day.
After Hao Ren came back, he first went to Raven 12345 to make a routine report, but the other party hadn't come back from God Realm yet. Ren is also happy to be free, so that at least he doesn't have to worry about that crazy woman suddenly throwing him a bunch of extra tasks.
The sky was clear and the sun was warm. After several days of continuous gloom, the southern suburbs finally ushered in a rare sunny day. A heavy snowfall last night covered the streets outside with snow. Looking out of the window, the whole old street was covered in snow. However, in this chilly weather, Hao Ren just wanted to stay in the warm room and look at the snowy scenery outside, and he was satisfied. So he moved the small tea table under the window of the living room, brewed a pot of hot tea in his hand, played a chess game in front of him, and played chess leisurely with Yzaks to relieve boredom.
Everyone in the family is busy with their own affairs, and the living room is quiet, only the sound of chess players dropping their pieces can be heard. The steam from the hot tea formed a misty steam on the window next to it. Hao Ren raised his head and looked out. Through the misty mist, he saw the white alleys of the old city. He thought of his magnificent experiences, the floating city being rebuilt on the sea of Io, the ecological seeding of Tanagus, and the purgatory planet in the Rift Nebula. In the hazy snow scene, it faded away from my heart bit by bit. It's hard to imagine that at the same time, in different universes, there are countless joys and sorrows, life and death, and a change of day in countless places, but the people who have experienced all this are nestling under a warm window sill right here and now, watching A pot of hot tea and a game of chess with a retired old devil. This wonderful sense of separation made him feel a little bit emotional, but he didn't know how to express emotion, so he finally just let out a soft sigh of unknown meaning: "Oh..."
"What did you think of?" Y'zaks looked up and grinned frighteningly, "You don't seem to be feeling emotional about the chess game."
Hao Ren smiled. Picking up a ball, he dropped it casually: "You said it would be great if the whole universe was as peaceful as this place."
"That's the scariest thing I can imagine." Y'zaks shook his head, "That means the entire universe will become a pool of stagnant water, and everything will wither."
Hao Ren opened his mouth and smiled helplessly: "... has your own characteristics."
The data terminal was quietly lying on the window sill next to it, watching a censor and a demon lord spend time in this way. Suddenly, its body shook, and it became a little more energetic: "The censor forum. About you The latest mission report for has new comments."
Hao Ren didn't raise his head: "What's the content of the comment?"
"Basically, I just want to sigh with emotion that the lone star of Tiansha, who was bombed everywhere, did not bomb this time. As a colleague, I am extremely surprised by this."
Hao Ren's hand holding the chess pieces froze in the air: "...they are still going on, is this topic interesting?"
"No way, who told you to start such a large-scale project as the dream plane," the data terminal can see through, "think about it, the entire universe is basically the relics of ecological natural disasters, you can just dig into this kind of place There are at least two ancestral graves in the pit..."
Hao Ren squinted at the terminal, and unhurriedly dropped a black stone on the chessboard: "We are studying elegant art. Don't speak so rudely..."
The data terminal floated up after a while, and slapped Hao Ren on the forehead: "Gaoya bastard! The two elders lay down by the window and played backgammon from 8:30 to 10:30. You are so elegant and artistic!" ?! This pot of tea in your hand is considered elegant in the entire living room, so you can use it to warm your hands!"
Hao Ren awkwardly pulled the data terminal aside. Pointing to Yizaks: "The problem is that Lao Wang didn't learn anything other than backgammon..."
"Don't make excuses for yourself. If you play chess with Elizabeth, you will regret three moves." The data terminal pointed out Hao Ren's shortcomings, which is not polite at all, "Now there are only people who are willing to play chess with you at home Let's go Y'zaks and Doudou?"
Hao Ren: "..."
Yzaks smiled and watched the daily life of Hao Ren and the data terminal, threw the chess piece on the table, got up and stretched his shoulders: "I won't accompany you. I'll go out for a walk while it's early in the morning."
After Y'zaks left, Hao Ren was completely bored. He looked around the living room, only to find that it was the same as what the data terminal said. No one in the family is willing to play chess with this stinky chess basket like him. So in the end, he still looked at the fish tank not far away, and fished Doudou out of the water: "Doudo is good. How about playing chess with Dad?"
That's what he's doing.
After Yizaks left, Doudou replaced him, and Hao Ren continued to fight his daughter for 300 rounds in front of the chessboard. Regardless of how the data terminal muttered beside her, the little mermaid was quite excited. She jumped up and down beside the chessboard happily, holding the huge chess piece in her hand, thinking hard about the next strategy, while she On the opposite side, Hao Ren was in a cold sweat: He felt that he might not even be able to win this fish...
This is what Lily and Vivian saw after they came back from shopping for groceries: Hao Ren was sitting with a fish in front of the window and playing chess. The chess piece is full of innocence. Hao Ren even discussed it with Doudou: "Is it okay for Dad to regret it again? Just once, I will buy you chopsticks to eat... red sandalwood!"
"Look at how promising you are..." Vivian's voice interrupted Hao Ren from the negotiation, "Are you ashamed to bully a fish?"
Hao Ren turned his head and saw Vivienne standing behind him holding a vegetable basket, with the cold winter air brought in from outside the house. And Lily, who came back with Vivian, rushed to the TV as soon as she entered the room: "Change the channel quickly, oh, it's too late, it's too late..."
The two of them just came back from grocery shopping. Looking at their current appearance, Hao Ren couldn't imagine that two years ago, if they met, they would fight to the death. He looked at the good things in Vivienne's basket while muttering casually: "You two have a good relationship now."
As soon as these words came out, Vivienne and Lily immediately said in unison: "Who has a good relationship with her!"
"You stole my lines!" Lily jumped up from the sofa and stood on the armrest of the sofa as if to strengthen her momentum, "This bat and I only went out to buy vegetables because of the situation, if we were not worried about the food Money, I can share with her... "
"Don't you just want to have fun in the snow?" Vivienne squinted at Lily, "There's nothing hard to admit, you even recognize yourself as a husky..."
It was good that Hao Ren didn't intervene. Once he interjected, the bat and the big dog started their daily bickering again, but now they can't fight at all. Drinking Coke: "Is there such a big hatred, you two forgot that you also built a girl group on the Ark..."
Vivian was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that she and Lily had been confused by Ark Civilization as the "Twin Goddesses of Ice and Fire", and her face suddenly became strange: "Landlord, don't mention this... I actually formed a twin with a husky..."
Hao Ren curled his lips, thinking that the reflex arc that Vivienne hadn't realized until now was metaphysical enough. Then he picked up the vegetable basket, looking for something he liked. Seeing this, Vivian slapped Hao Ren's paw off: "Don't make trouble. Big dog, come and help me choose vegetables..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a pleasant ringing sound suddenly came from her pocket.
Vivian froze for a moment before realizing that her phone was ringing, and when she took it out to see the caller's name, she frowned: "Sure enough, it's Hessiana again... I shouldn't have given her the number. Hello? What's wrong?"
Vivienne answered the phone impatiently, wanting to hear what reason Heatherana found to harass her again this time. But as she listened, her expression gradually became serious.
"What's wrong?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
Vivian hung up the phone with a confused expression: "The witchers in the entire Greek peninsula have disappeared."
"Eh..." Hao Ren was taken aback, but didn't understand what he meant, "Disappeared?"
"It just disappeared, all the strongholds are empty, and the sentries who are usually in charge of monitoring the movements of aliens have disappeared." Vivienne's voice was a little fluttering, as if she still didn't quite believe the news she just heard, "and it is said that A similar situation was also found around several other shelters. Heatherana asked if there has been any change in the demon hunters here." (To be continued~^~)
