There are many painful things in the world, but I think one of them must be included, that is, sudden insomnia while holding the child to sleep-as a responsible and caring father, you dare not even move at this time, Because there are only two kinds of creatures that are the most difficult to coax in the world, one is the bear child, and the other is the bear child’s mother—you see, the bear child is still ranked ahead of her mother, and if the bear child has no mother, it will be double It's not easy to coax.
Insomnia tormented me this night...
Of course, if you want to ask if there is any more painful thing in the world than sudden insomnia while holding a child to sleep, then I will tell you, there is also: that is, you finally fell asleep, and the child in your arms woke up, and it was very energetic. …
I just fell asleep in a daze when the sky was very bright, and it felt like a few minutes later, I started to churn in bed, and then I heard the screaming of the mercury lamp in my ear: "Stupid! Get up It's time to go downstairs for dinner!"
I opened my eyes in a daze, and found that it was already bright outside, and the doll girl was sitting on my chest with loose hair, her deep rose red eyes were shining brightly, and she was full of energy: "Hey, why do you look listless?" of?"
"I had insomnia last night." I yawned. I wasn't mentally exhausted. It's just that I had developed the habit of following a normal human routine. Suddenly I didn't sleep much all night. I always felt weird. "It looks like you Had a good sleep."
"Idiots can also suffer from insomnia?" Mercury Lamp leaned over and jumped out of bed, only then did I notice that she had changed into a new princess dress today. Maybe I bought it when I went out to play yesterday. Needless to say, it was something in a Barbie doll's suit.
This nagging look really has the meaning of a precocious daughter teaching a lazy father a lesson. I smack my lips. But I can't recall what happened last night and suddenly suffered from insomnia. I only remember that Mercury Lamp was telling me what she had seen and heard. Then... It seems that I suddenly heard some inexplicable things, the other side, signals, bridges and so on. Could it be that my insomnia is because of those few auditory hallucinations
When I went downstairs to eat, I casually told everyone about my insomnia, and the general opinion of the masses was: It turns out that people who have a lack of heart can also suffer from insomnia. Undoubtedly, Mercury Lamp was the first to put forward this view rashly, and then received enthusiastic responses from many people. This is really a depressing thing. Sandra was the only one who was serious, and she also found it rather odd that I would lose sleep: being a Void creature. My spirit has long been mutated to the point where it does not conform to any theoretical model, and the possibility of being disturbed by external factors is zero. In other words, as long as my biological clock decides to sleep, it is basically the end of the world. Don’t let me lose sleep for a second , so my insomnia last night was worth studying, but she couldn't find anything: I remember three words in total, and I can't tell if they were said by Mercury Lamp Or I heard it wrong (the little puppet can’t remember what was said yesterday. She said a lot, and one of the biggest characteristics of this guy is that he will never remember what he said before going to bed at night), and then Of course Sandora couldn't analyze anything with such a few clues. Qianqian has her own ideas, she thinks it has something to do with the Void Cataclysm...
Then no one paid any attention to her. Ever since the link between the mutation of the abyss and the cataclysm of the void caused panic, Qianqian has become a habit in the past two days. Everything is connected with the cataclysm of the void, it's neurotic.
After breakfast, Lan came to greet me, saying that she was going back to Yakumo Zi to stay with Zi Yakumo for a few days.
"I've been here for a long time, and I'm a little worried about Master Zi." The fox said with a smile, holding two small packages in his hand, and he was still wearing the collar he put on yesterday—it looked particularly conspicuous. I brought gifts to Zi-sama and Reimu-sama, and I also took them along. It’s been so disturbing for so many days, thank you for your care.”
I raised my eyebrows: "Why does it sound like he's gone forever?" Don't tell me, it would be a pity if the fox didn't come back. Since then, there will be no doormat at home, and I will lose a warmer The blanket for the feet, Qianqian is missing a spitz, Little Bubble is missing a plush toy, Xiaoqian is missing a fox sister, and a random person in our family is missing a pillow... Well, I suddenly feel that Lan might not Are you going to evacuate
Thinking of this, I involuntarily reached out and touched Lan's head, and the fox mother's ears trembled: she thought I was going to touch her ears. "Um, it's really hard work for you these days in our house..."
Lan looked confused, and the question mark almost hit her head. She didn't know where my mind jumped, but she continued with my previous question: "Of course not, I will be back soon. Now, am I here?" Stayed here too long…”
"No, no." I quickly waved my hand, not ashamed to admit how many impolite things I thought of just now, "Go and tell Lingmeng, let her take care of those monsters occasionally, especially that drunkard Cuixiang. Rose was drunk and almost got into a fight with Yang Guo, and said, "I'll give you a hand!" You know how hurtful this sentence is. In addition, I have a word with Zi, I don’t mind her sleeping during working hours, I don’t mind her sleeping on duty, and I don’t even mind her sleeping until she gets off work, but when she is in a meeting at the hub management center, she is carrying Zhang Simmons It's not appropriate to enter the venue—although the work is done well, can she take the boss's face into consideration? "
Lan's expression was very stiff, his tail froze in mid-air: "...uh, ok... ok."
Xiaoxue also came to bid farewell to Lan Yiyi, she smiled after the latter promised to come back in a few days, then grabbed the fox's tail and rubbed it back and forth: "Haha, yes, in the future I will be with you from childhood to adulthood, The one you live at home is Xiaoqian and I’s nanny. Sister Fox, come back early, I’ll teach you how to weave Chinese knots with tails... "
As soon as Lan heard this, he turned around and ran away without saying a word, his figure was as fast as the rumors said. Swish a yellow light flashed and disappeared...
Qianqianni bumped his head against my arm next to me: "What do you think Yakumo Zi will do if he sees the collar on Lan's neck?"
"If you see it, you will see it. Look, there is a bell on Viska's neck." As soon as the words fell, Viska next to him shook his head happily, and the bell on his neck jingled. She liked this little toy very much, although she was despised by Pandora.
Qianqian glanced at me cautiously: "But you didn't notice a line of words on the collar? It was engraved with 'Chen Jun's family'..."
Me: "...Grandma, why didn't you say it earlier!"
"Also. The gift she prepared for Zi contained a pack of dog biscuits..."
I lay face down on the table with a stiff face: with the speed of the fox and the convenience of space teleportation, I'm afraid she would have bumped into Zi within a minute. At this time, Nima is too late. Perhaps soon all the monsters will know that their new landlord is a strange sorceress who keeps a fox girl as a pet dog. By the way, there is also a shot life pill among the monsters, so I can think that the whole world knows...
Just as I was starting to think about whether I was going to kill someone to silence me, I suddenly saw a small blue figure flashing past the kitchen door from the corner of my eye, and I quickly slapped my head: "Qi Lu Nuo!"
The blue figure fell down from mid-air, and then rushed over and yelled loudly: "I didn't steal the cake, and I didn't knock down the soy sauce bottle in the kitchen. I went to deliver frozen tofu to the kitchen—well, What's up?"
Me: "..." Is the lack of heart of this guy more serious than before
"Where did you go yesterday? You haven't seen anyone all day."
As I spoke, I picked an ice wing from Qi Lunuo's back with ease, stirred it in the orange juice at hand, and put it back on her after it was chilled. The whole process was smooth and smooth, and the ice goblin didn't even respond come over. Why do I suddenly feel that my sins are particularly serious—after Yakumo Lan, there is another poor guy who is regarded as a strange object by my side.
Well. This guy has been reduced to an appliance since the day she came to my house as a refrigerator...
"I went to find miso-chan to play with! Then... Then I found someone to fight, eh? Who did I fight with? Why can't I remember..."
Let me go, who did this poor kid fight with? Did he lose his memory after being beaten
Cirno is also considered one of the residents in the house. But the sense of presence is really low, the main reason is that this guy is positioned as an electrical appliance at home, and her main duty is to provide cold drinks for everyone—so she basically has no sense of presence since entering November. And this guy doesn't usually communicate with her family very much. She plays the role of household appliances at home comfortably. When she is resting, she will go to Avalon to play with her friends for a long time. I didn't realize that I was living in someone else's house. Over time, half of the family forgot that there was a goblin living in the house. Later, An Weina felt that Qi Lunuo should have something to do, but it was obviously unrealistic to continue freezing popsicles and being an air conditioner (it is emphasized here that Qi Lu Nuo dared to carry a basin of popsicles when the snow was blowing outside. She is a magical creature who goes out to sell along the street, she can’t sell popsicles for three months and she doesn’t even realize that winter is coming), so our head maid borrowed Cirno to the kitchen and asked her to keep food fresh and make frozen tofu.
The result is that now we only think of Quanerjiu when we want to eat frozen tofu.
"This is a gift for you."
I took out a cardboard box from my portable space and handed it to Cirno, "The family all went out to play yesterday, and they came back to share the spoils... Well, you were not at home when the presents were distributed, so I will put them away for you first."
"Gift?" Qi Lunuo stared blankly at the box in his hand, looking very confused, and then his eyes suddenly brightened, "Gift? For others? They also have gifts? Really? Not lying?"
How much love does this poor child usually have...
"What is this?" Qi Lunuo happily took the cardboard box. This gift was brought back by her sister. It is estimated that only a careful elder sister would remember that we still have such a dull guest. Oh, by the way, An Weina should also be able to remember: she has to say hello to Cirno every day when she cooks. The latter is the kitchen freezer.
"Ice shaving machine." I demonstrated the small machine to Cirno, "It can turn large pieces of ice into finely crushed ice huā, and Little Bubble has modified it for you. Now it uses special energy and can work without electricity." Used it. Don’t you like to make all kinds of cold drinks. This is better than you... "
Before I finished talking, Cirno was fiddling with the portable ice shaving machine with bright eyes, and was very happy: "Aha, what a powerful thing, people want this. It can grind ice... Let me try..."
Then she snapped off a piece of ice wing from behind and stuffed it into the ice shaved machine. He gestured to me and asked, "Is this the green button?"
Me: "..." This unlucky kid has been bullied a lot, so he got used to breaking off his ice wings and rubbing ice huā
After a lot of tinkering, Qi Lunuo finally managed to make ice huā that was more fine and uniform than what she had made before, and she was very happy. And I had a new understanding of this child's intelligence: the shaving ice machine only has a box for putting ice cubes and a unique button, and she even studied it for fifteen minutes! How did this guy develop his self-care ability? How many times would she starve herself to death if no one took care of her!
"Qirunuo likes this gift!" The ice goblin happily held up the ice shaving machine. Running around me, "You are so kind, everyone is a good person..." This is the first time I have seen a good person card with AOE ability.
At this moment, I suddenly saw Pao Pao pulling Little Pao Pao past in front of me. The former looked arrogant with his small face up, while the latter was carrying a small schoolbag and was dragged by his mother in a daze. Ji Shanshan followed behind him. That guy was actually carrying a schoolbag. Immediately I was surprised: "What are you guys doing?"
"Haven't you seen sending the children to school?" Pao Pao rolled his eyes at me, "I still remember this, I'm afraid you have already forgotten it. I have already completed the formalities for Little Pao Pao and got all the things. Today Send her to the Imperial Military Academy to take classes. Well, Jill will also follow, as a companion."
"Why don't you go, my lord?" Ji Shining glanced at Pao Pao pitifully, and the latter immediately raised her eyebrows like a landlady in the old society: "Okay, but from now on until Xiao Pao Pao graduates, you can only eat Pickle flatbread."
Let Bubble remind me like this. There is also such a thing as Little Bubble's enrollment, and this matter was discussed with me at the beginning. We all know that Little Bubble is a mutated Xiling host. She can super-evolve other imperial equipment, but she herself cannot learn the production skills that normal Xiling hosts should have. In addition, it may also be due to the mutation, the growth direction of Little Bubble is abnormal. At the age of three, she has already learned many skills that children of fifteen or sixteen can master, but in terms of language, she has just learned to call her mom and dad. . So Bubble suggested to send the child to school, at least being with other children might make her personality mature earlier. At first we planned to let her go to preschool, to play with the children brought by the hero leaders of the macro world, and we tried to do so-then the attempt failed, because the little bubble was better at playing I didn’t learn it, and I used my ability to successfully abduct seventy or eighty bear children to be absent from class for a whole day, which almost caused a panic incident—we realized that we can’t let a Xiling host with powerful abilities and lack of self-control ordinary children mixed together.
So Little Bubble was finally dragged by her mother to the registration office of the Imperial Military Academy... I feel like this is even more nonsense!
This child can't even speak, so you let her go to the military academy? Do you want to learn the way of leading the army or the way of governing the country from the talented elites from all over the world while fighting with mud? She really won't turn the entire military academy upside down
However, before I questioned this, Bubble had already led her daughter and nanny into the portal leading to Shadow City, and Sandora told me another thing that deserves more attention: "Ah Jun, deep dive The ship has self-destructed."
This news was immediately ranked in front of all events by me, with the highest priority. Sister and Qianqian also knew that this was a big deal, and they all stopped their chores. Soon, the whole family came to Shadow City, and then they were directly sent to the fringe world where the deep diving experiment was conducted through the dedicated passage. When we arrived, Tavel was already waiting. Maybe she hasn't left the test site in the past few days since the test started.
No one questioned the self-destruction of the deep-diving boat. This was originally planned. The deep-diving boat we are manufacturing now is a one-time item, with various flaws, and the chance of returning is zero—in fact It simply does not store the navigation data needed to return home. In addition to collecting data in the abyss, the value of this prototype ship is to test how far the new empire's current deep-diving ship manufacturing technology can go. It's bound to self-destruct, and what we want to know is when.
After fully diving into the abyss, the deep-diving ship is cut off from the material world. No one knows what happened to it, or even whether it has been destroyed. The only way to confirm the fate of the deep-diving ship is to wait in the abyss. Near the door, wait for the navigation signal of the "drifting bottle" from inside. When this signal appears, it can be determined that the deep diving ship has been completely destroyed, and the time period of the deep diving ship's destruction can be determined according to the independent navigation log of the "drifting bottle".
Five days have passed since the deep diving operation started, and just ten minutes ago, the outpost waiting outside the gate of the abyss received the first "drift bottle" that successfully floated up to the gate of the abyss. A signal to request salvage. The "drifting bottle" is a safe database with an independent engine, and its return speed is faster than the speed of deep diving. According to calculations, the deep diving ship disintegrated about a day and a half ago, that is to say, it spent a total of It lasted for three and a half days.
It's not a great score, but it's not too bad—three and a half days means it managed to cross the boundary known as the watershed: the shallow zone of the abyss.
