When the last bit of power was exhausted, Xiao Jinang's figure suddenly turned into a hazy white light in the darkness, and then suddenly shattered and dissipated, turning into thousands of stars flying out of the window. Like fireworks and embers, it suddenly became extremely bright, and then quietly disappeared.
"Xiao Jinang!"
Ming Zhou seemed to realize something, and subconsciously tightened his fingertips, eager to grab him, but he missed. He frantically groped for Xiao Jinang's figure on the sofa, but it was empty, without even a trace of warmth, as if that person had never appeared.
"Xiao Jinang?"
"Xiao Jinang?!"
Ming Zhou stumbled around in the darkness aimlessly looking for Xiao Jinang's figure. Suddenly, he was back to the time when his eyes were blinded by his mother. He searched for the light in disbelief over and over again. Finally, he accidentally tripped over the coffee table and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
“Squeak—”
The legs of the coffee table slid across the floor with a harsh sound.
The rain outside the window was getting heavier, and fine raindrops drifted into the house through the gaps in the window that were not closed tightly, as if a dampness had also fallen inside.
Ming Zhou covered his knees, maintaining that position and lying motionless on the ground. The sharp pain seemed even more obvious in the darkness. The coolness in the air penetrated into his limbs, causing him to slowly curl up his body uncontrollably.
It was an action of endurance that was extremely painful, his face was pale and bloodless.
The pain seemed to remind him that what had just happened was not a dream.
But where did Xiao Jinang go...
Where did he go…
Ming Zhou opened his dazed and unfocused eyes, and suddenly hoped that he could regain a little bit of vision, even if it was just a little bit. He had never seen Xiao Jinang appear, and even his departure was silent, like rain falling on the ground, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
It seemed that fate had left him nothing except endless darkness.
Ming Zhou moved his fingertips and touched the cold and wet rain marks on the floor. He remembered that it seemed to be a rainy day like this when he met Xiao Jinang.
Mingri seemed to no longer feel the pain in his knees. He suddenly stumbled to his feet and groped his way to the window in the dark, following the wet rain marks. Occasionally, a flash of lightning would flash across the night sky, making his back look vague and ethereal, as if he would disappear into thin air in the next moment.
By the window, by the tall building, this was the ending that fate had arranged for him, but after going around in circles, he finally returned to this road, with a sense of destiny.
Ming Zhou should have closed the windows to keep out the wind and rain outside, but for some reason, he slowly opened the window as wide as possible, and the wind and rain poured in, and his clothes were soon soaked.
Did Xiao Jinang leave from here
Mingri didn't know. He slowly stretched his hand out of the window, trying to feel something in the rain, trying to sense the other person's breath. Unconsciously, he had already leaned out most of his body, and was already shaky, only one step away from falling. However, at this moment, a small cat cry suddenly came from his feet:
"Meow~"
Liang Jingjing had run to Ming Zhou's feet at some point. It opened its only remaining eye, stared at Ming Zhou curiously, then pawed at him with its claws, as if wanting him to come back quickly.
Ming Zhou paused and realized belatedly that he had a cat at home.
"Meow~"
Seeing that Ming Zhou didn't move, Liang Jingjing simply grabbed his trouser legs with her claws and climbed up bit by bit. Because she was too young to control her strength, it was inevitable that her claws caused a sharp sting when they touched her skin.
Ming Zhou couldn't help but frown. He felt that the pain was more unbearable than ever before, as if an invisible silk thread was strangling his neck, pulling him away from the window.
"… "
Finally, Ming Zhou couldn't help but take a step back. His body was covered in cold and wet rain, his hair was wet, and the rain dripped down his pale face, gathering into a pool on the floor.
Liang Jingjing seemed a little uneasy and kept meowing. Finally, because she didn't have enough strength, she fell off Ming Zhou's legs.
"Meow~"
Liang Jingjing seemed to be in some pain and her cry was a little sharper than before.
Ming Zhou slowly squatted down after hearing this, and groped for something in the dark, until his fingertips touched something furry and warm. He realized that it was the cat that Xiao Jinang and he had raised together, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and then, little by little, he held the cat in his arms.
He hugged me very tight and hard.
Like a person at the end of his rope, he was clinging to his last straw.
Ming Zhou remembered what Xiao Jinang had once said.
"I'll come back to you..."
"Doctor Ming... don't be sad..."
Dr. Ming, don't be sad.
Ming Zhou closed his eyes and hugged the cat tightly in his arms. He felt that there was nothing he could do at this moment except wait.
…
The interstellar space station has three thousand worlds, suspended in the vast universe. The interstellar executive is the highest authority here. When the return period arrives, countless systems will return and submit their completed tasks.
Of course, it is possible that some systems may be forced to return to the charging station to replenish energy before completing their tasks because of energy depletion.
The office of the interstellar executive is located at the highest position in the entire space station. Through a completely transparent light curtain glass, one can see the entire universe. On the far opposite side, a water-blue planet floats quietly in the universe.
This planet is the source of the three thousand worlds.
The interstellar executive would stand in front of this light curtain every day, witnessing the joys and sorrows of all mankind, and then randomly select binding objects from them to obtain energy to maintain the basic operation of the entire space station.
On this day, the interstellar executive was observing the bound object through the light curtain as usual, when a faint light suddenly flew in from the other end of the distance, then gently passed through the light curtain and stopped in front of her.
This is a ball of energy so weak that it can no longer maintain its form and cannot even perform basic operations. Only a trace of residual self-consciousness remains.
But the executive officer still recognized him and asked in confusion: "Little King Kong?"
The light flickered.
The executive officer slowly stretched out his hand to hold him up. A ray of blue light enveloped him and began to help him recover. He whispered, "Your energy is running out."
The ball of light flashed again in response.
The interstellar executive turned and walked towards the charging bay. His waist-length curly hair fluttered gently in the air due to the energy fluctuations. His appearance was beautiful, but his tone was always neither hurried nor slow. With the power to soothe people, he sighed and said, "Little King Kong, you should not disobey my recall order. If the energy is exhausted, the system will also face real death like humans."
The ball of light did not flash this time, as if it felt guilty and sad.
The interstellar executive opened one of the charging compartments and gently placed the ball of light inside. He then closed the transparent hatch and said softly, "You need to replenish your energy. Stay here. I will find another system to take over your mission."
Upon hearing that, the ball of light suddenly began to flicker violently and frequently hit the cabin door, as if it had a lot to say, but due to lack of energy, it was unable to speak.
The Star Executor hushed him softly, thinking he was joking, because this diamond was the most humane of all the systems: "Keep quiet, you need to charge now, little King Kong."
The interstellar executive officer looked at another hatch, where a small blue diamond was quietly suspended, and its power had been replenished to 80: "System No. 7, when the power is replenished, please immediately go to Three Thousand Spacetimes to take over the unfinished mission of Little King Kong."
System 7's emotional program was still under development, and its answer was cold: "Yes, I have received the instruction."
The small ball of light in the next warehouse got a little excited when he heard this, and began to hit the wall violently again. The interstellar executive officer was about to say something when a female secretary in uniform suddenly ran into the office and said breathlessly: "It's bad, executive officer! Lady Cecilia just launched a dark system to Blue Star. We have tried to intercept it many times, but all failed!"
Everything in the universe is about balance, there is good and there is evil. The space station has three thousand worlds, and the interstellar executive is not the only one in charge. In addition to her, there is another deputy ruler named Cecilia.
Unlike the Star Executive, Cecilia controls the source of desire in the world. She likes to induce people to degenerate and absorb dark energy from them. And the systems under her control also like to choose those humans with desires as hosts, luring them to degenerate and go to darkness.
The interstellar executive's face changed slightly when he heard the news, and he immediately left in a hurry. The huge office became quiet for a while, leaving only the system in the charging compartment and a fish tank on the desk.
When Xiao Jin Gang heard that the interstellar executive officer was going to send System 7 to take over the mission, he was immediately anxious. He lay on the transparent hatch and tried to look next door, only to find that System 7 was almost fully charged.
"boom-"
"boom-"
Little King Kong tried to smash the hatch, but to no avail. At this moment, a little turtle lying at the bottom of the fish tank was suddenly awakened by the sound of him banging on the door. It slowly crawled out of the fish tank, and a trace of confusion flashed in its black eyes: What happened
Little King Kong replenished some energy and finally recovered from a ball of light to a diamond. He was lying on the hatch, and suddenly found that the little turtle that he used to play with woke up, and hurriedly said, "Little turtle, come here, come here quickly!"
Hearing this, the little turtle slowly climbed down from the table, then ran to the charging compartment, looked up, and continued to express confusion with his eyes: What are you doing
Little King Kong said anxiously: "Little Turtle, can you find a way to help me open the hatch?"
The little turtle lowered his head in thought after hearing this, then shook his head and refused: It can't be opened.
The hatch will only open automatically when the system is fully charged, otherwise no one can open it except the executive officer.
Xiao Jin Gang: "What should I do? System No. 7 will take over my mission after it finishes charging. qaq."
The little turtle thought, is that the reason? That's easy. He glanced at the charging compartment of the No.7 system and found that it was already charged to 96%. Then he ran to the back of the socket, climbed up little by little, and unplugged the charging cable of the No.7.
I'll remove your oxygen tube.
Ding! Disconnected, charging terminated!
