If you don't fight for it yourself, are you going to pray for God's gift
... ...
In the light screen.
Gu Ran and Xue Xiling returned to Lanxin University in an ambiguous atmosphere.
Because both of them were in disguise, no one recognized them along the way and they just thought they were an ordinary couple.
Along the way, Xue Xiling had an unconcealable smile on her face.
She enjoys this state very much.
Holding hands with your lover, strolling on the streets of Canglong City, looking at the street scenes of Canglong City, and chatting together.
But Gu Ran's mind had already drifted far away.
After returning to Lanxin University, Gu Ran did not return to his own laboratory, but came to the cold storage room where the bodies were stored.
With the bodies from the classroom he had just encountered and the bodies of the family of three before, the cold storage room was now full of bodies.
"Principal, you are here too?"
Gu Ran looked at Xue Yingsong and asked curiously.
"Hey, you're still calling me principal." Xue Yingsong said unhappily, "Why are you still so formal? You're engaged to Xiao Ling, how should I address you?"
Gu Ran was suddenly embarrassed.
He hesitated and said, "Ah, this, that..."
In fact, he had thought about changing the name for Xue Yingsong, but he always wanted to call her Lao Xue or something like that, and had never thought of calling her the same as Xue Xiling.
But when Xue Yingsong brought up this issue in person and looked at him expectantly, it was difficult to refuse.
It seems that it would be more appropriate to use a different name and follow Xue Xiling in terms of both emotion and reason.
It’s just that Gu Ran has still gotten over that hurdle in his heart and doesn’t want to have another “father”.
Xue Yingsong sighed in disappointment: "Alright, alright, I knew you wouldn't be taken advantage of so easily. Since you can't say it now, wait until the day you and Xiao Ling are truly married before calling me. By that time, at least call me father-in-law."
Gu Ran smiled bitterly.
Well, he could actually call him father-in-law, but he didn’t know whether he would really marry Xue Xiling at that time.
Maybe Xue Xiling won't like him anymore by then
But when Gu Ran suddenly thought that Xue Xiling didn't like him and liked someone else, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.
A very unhappy feeling came over me.
"Okay, Principal, tell me why you are here." Gu Ran didn't want to think about it any further, so he quickly talked to Xue Yingsong to divert his attention.
"You are my designated successor. I am naturally very concerned about what you are investigating."
When it comes to business, Xue Yingsong's expression becomes serious.
"I've examined all these bodies, and I found one thing they have in common, you know?"
"Common points?" Gu Ran frowned.
If you really want to look into the similarities, these corpses have a lot in common.
But Gu Ran knew that what Xue Yingsong was talking about was definitely not an ordinary common point, but an astonishing discovery.
Gu Ran’s mental power immediately scanned the cold storage room, “observing” the shapes and appearances of all the corpses.
"You mean they've lost their minds? Very similar to... the Star Stone infection from over three hundred years ago?"
Gu Ran suddenly had an idea and said.
Xue Yingsong nodded: "Yes, that's right, there were quite a few people alive in that classroom, but when you had them sent to Lyceum University, they all died inexplicably."
"Hmm... It's not that strange. It's just that they all seemed to have used up all their energy and died of exhaustion. Their bodies all showed signs of exhaustion, and those of them who had awakened their superpowers had their superpower cores shattered. This was also due to overuse."
Weakness? Overuse
"Could it be that they have lost their minds and only know how to kill with all their strength, which has caused them to become exhausted and overuse the supernatural crystal core that has just awakened?" Gu Ran guessed.
Xue Yingsong nodded: "I thought so too. It's very strange that such an incident happened in Canglong City. I can't rest assured, so I followed and checked it out."
"Have you found out?" Gu Ran asked.
Xue Yingsong shook his head. "At the moment, I just think they have a lot of similarities with the Star Stone infection from more than 300 years ago. I don't know much about other things, such as why they have this kind of Star Stone infection? I have people searched the area around them, but still haven't found any high concentrations of Star Stone, only ordinary Star Stone instruments."
"This has happened twice. If we don't find out the reason, it's hard to be sure it won't happen again. Last time there were only three people, but this time there are more than 20 people. The number is increasing very fast. This makes me feel uneasy in the dormitory."
Gu Ran knew that Xue Yingsong also placed great importance on Canglong City. He had deep feelings for the people of Canglong City, so he was so anxious to find out the real cause of this incident and then solve it.
However, there is still too little information at the moment. The two exchanged opinions in the cold storage room and agreed to go back together to look for relevant information, and then summarize and analyze it together like this.
After returning to the laboratory, Gu Ran thought of his three huge "mobile hard drives" and wondered if there might be relevant clues in them. After all, "Deep Water" and "Massive Consciousness" had lived for who knows how many years and must know a lot of secrets.
Gu Ran immediately checked how much the "Ark Core" had analyzed and processed the internal data.
Two are 4 percent and one is 2 percent.
The 2 percent is the "Ark Core" where the "evil god's consciousness" is located.
After thinking about it, Gu Ran tried to import the huge amount of information processed by the "Ark Core" into his own mind.
It was difficult to know the exact number when it was imported. Gu Ran felt the sudden huge impact and almost fainted.
Fortunately, the amount of information processed was only 4%, which is not that serious.
After a while, Gu Ran adapted to the impact of this massive amount of information.
Although the amount of information processed was only 4%, the time it took to "import" it exceeded Gu Ran's imagination.
What Gu Ran did not expect was that "importing" would actually require so much of his energy. If he did not spend a lot of energy to guide it, then the huge amount of information rushing into his sea of consciousness would most likely overwhelm his sea of consciousness.
Because he was too focused, Gu Ran was completely immersed in the "introduction", and his body automatically activated the self-defense counterattack ability.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but Gu Ran suddenly opened his eyes.
"Blood Moon... Killing..."
In the end, Gu Ran still failed to completely "import" the 4% of information that had been processed by the "Ark Core" because it was simply too much.
He must first "digest" the information that has been "imported" before he can continue to "import" without any worries.
At present, the information he has "imported" is less than one percent, about 0.7 percent.
But it just so happens that among this 0.7 percent of information, there seems to be one relevant piece of information.
"The blood moon is coming, alien species from outer space... Has this ever happened before?"
Gu Ran thought doubtfully.
Suddenly his face changed, and when he subconsciously extended his mental power, he discovered that something seemed to be wrong with Canglong City.
A blood moon hung high in the sky, and Canglong City looked extremely mysterious.
"It's been more than a day?"
After taking a look at the electronic calendar on the wall, Gu Ran's heart sank slightly.
240. Demonic invasion! Alien species from outer space! 4.1k
Gu Ran took a look at the door of his residence and found that it had been replaced.
Some fragments of the original door were still on the ground, and there were traces of other people in the house.
Taking a quick look around, he saw that many things in his bedroom were destroyed, all caused by physical force.
In an instant, Gu Ran outlined the entire process in his mind.
I had a class with him yesterday, but I missed it because I was too "engaged" in it without realizing it.
Probably because they found out that he didn't go to class, so when they found him here, they discovered that something was wrong with his condition, so they wanted to check on his physical condition.
However, his body has a defense mechanism of automatic counterattack. The appliances in the bedroom and the damaged walls should have been caused by his body's automatic counterattack.
Then, probably from the external signs they could tell that he was not seriously injured, so they did not try to wake him up by force, but simply repaired the damaged door and locked it.
"So, he should be fine, at least when he found me. And this safe time should be a long period of time after I missed class yesterday."
While thinking quickly, Gu Ran used his telekinesis to check the situation inside Canglong City.
Canglong City seemed no different from usual.
Those who should sleep should sleep well, and those who should enjoy the nightlife should still enjoy the nightlife.
There were couples laughing and quarreling on the streets, vendors hawking their wares in the night market, children crying loudly in the courtyards, and men and women lying on top of each other in the houses, gasping for breath.
Everything is as it was, everything is as peaceful as before.
—Except for the blood moon in the sky shining on Canglong City, it looked a bit bloody and dazzling.
"No, that's not right!"
Gu Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he felt extremely anxious.
Canglong City is too quiet!
No one seemed to be curious about the unusual blood moon in the sky, as if the blood-colored moonlight sprinkled in Canglong City was still the beautiful silver-white color of the past.
