In the spacious and bright intensive care ward of the medical center, Yagumo Lan, who has basically recovered, is undergoing rehabilitation training. Her body has suffered severe impacts and extrusions, and she has suffered severe mental damage caused by traveling through space. The former has been completely recovered by the medical cabin. The latter recovered most of the time after being in a coma for a few days, and now he is only a little sluggish and out of balance—well, a large part of the reason is that the unlucky braided tail caused trouble.
Because she resolutely does not use the steam iron provided by Qianqianyou, Yakumolan's tail is still spiral.
Because of the hard-working leader's special daily work schedule, I just attended an official event held by the Civilization Community in the morning, and after I came back with Sandora, I went directly to the medical center to visit Lan, and it happened that Yakumo Zi was also there , After talking about the operation status of the dimensional hub of Shadow City, we began to watch a certain nine-tailed fox wandering around the house.
Speaking of which, today is really rare, Lan is wearing her own clothes well—I used to think that Yakumo Lan's tendency to run naked was just a rumor, but I never thought it was true.
"If you have a bunch of tails, you can definitely understand Lan's thinking."
Zi Yakumo made tea leisurely, and answered my confusion in this way.
The chest pocket was arched, and Dingdang poked out a small head from it: "Yes, yes, Dingdang also thinks it is too troublesome to bother to dig holes in clothes!"
Don't say that you little guy also has a tendency to run naked! At least in this field, give me a little bit of goddess integrity!
Both the winged Ding Dong and the long-tailed Yakumo Lan face the same problem, that is, they need to dig a hole in their clothes to successfully stuff their special parts out of the clothes, and this process is definitely not very easy. My elder sister once made a new dress for Little Things, but I forgot to make holes at that time, and Little Things didn’t discover the problem until she wore it all day—her shutter-shaped wings made us laugh for most of the night.
Now we know that in the face of this kind of physical trouble, Yakumo Lan, who is a monster, has a very tough solution... If it weren't for the usual people watching, this guy would rather run naked all day long.
I really don't know if this fox with the appearance of a girl has a normal sense of shame.
"Speaking of which, her tail is still a big spiral."
"Yeah, but the fluff has mostly returned."
"It looks like a nice coat."
"Of course, Blue's tail is one of my favorite things about her. Orange always sleeps in it in winter."
"Speaking of which, does she molt in winter?"
"Monsters don't shed their hair, but occasionally they will lose their hair when they eat something bad. Last time she picked up things outside and ate them, which made the house full of fluff."
"Do you have a telephone in Gensokyo? Tengu seem to have this kind of technology, right?"
"Ah, they made something like that, but the goblins don't use it much."
"When Lan is on the phone, can the earpiece be connected to the ear?"
"Hey, interesting, try next time..."
The nine-tailed girl ran over, and almost hit the table because of a balance failure, and then stammered and protested with a blushing face: "You...you are like this, I am very troubled! Master Zi is also..."
Then one unscrupulous master and two unscrupulous heads of state had fun.
How to say Yakumolan's personality in reality, it belongs to the mature, stable, gentle and reliable type, maybe it has something to do with her life experience of being "slaved" by Yakumozi, facing such a cute The cute fox really makes people want to play tricks: Although Lan is not an M shaker, unfortunately, most of them don't care whether there is an M to cooperate with them.
Speaking of it, I have to analyze it based on the gossip I usually get from Lingmeng and the situation I heard from Yakumo Zi. This fox girl named "Lan" is really hardworking in her daily life. The oppressor master who sleeps for a few days without paying wages, and the juvenile loli shikigami who is waiting for him to grow up, rushing around all day among various troublesome tasks entrusted to him by the master, is really true Fortunately, there is no union in Gensokyo.
Thinking about the other party's miserable life as a coolie, and looking at the pile of twisted tails like the Flame Mountain on her back, I think this unlucky fox is already bad enough in our hands, and I feel embarrassed to continue to bully her. In addition, the other party is also a proud and arrogant race like the nine-tailed demon fox. Now it is only because his master obediently lives under the fence that he is polite to us, but if he really wants to continue bullying, it is inevitable that the other party will not blow up... En , It's really fried.
For some reason, the scene of Yakumo Blue's tail bristling like a broom immediately appeared in my mind.
"Yesterday we analyzed your situation, and it is extremely possible that the foreign land came from another world," he waved his hand, and let Yakumolan, who was a little annoyed, sit down at the table, and I explained to him in a simple way, "From The massive invasion of matter from other worlds sometimes causes the rejection of this world. This kind of rejection is what you see, the halos that spread around that continent, those halos try to push the floating islands out of this world, and you are transported here Because you accidentally fell into the aperture after fainting, we reverse-located the data recorded by the dimensional hub when you were just sent over, and basically determined the location of Gensokyo. Now we are doing more accurate scanning, but due to fantasy The township and the watch world are separated by a layer of enchantment, which belongs to the 'world within the world', so this kind of scanning takes some time to crack."
Lan listened carefully. Although most of the content was like a bible to this fox who had never received nine years of compulsory education and knew nothing about the theory of relativity, she still knew that I said these things to reassure her, so she put on her face. Showed a friendly smile.
But at this moment, two short electronic tones representing emergency communication interrupted the conversation of several people, and a holographic image suddenly appeared above the table, in which Gaia maintained a light blue translucent state.
Because of her special way of existence, Gaia, who can be everywhere, recently began to assist Sivis in dealing with affairs in Shadow City. Now she is like a news broadcaster, with a huge picture floating behind her. It says lv...
All kinds of facts show that the conscientious sister Gaia is really a good girl who is full of responsibility and resolutely obeys the command. The former is mainly reflected in the fact that she was able to use a compromise method to get together with everyone in Shadow City and immediately invested in it. After work, she is in stark contrast with a group of imperial leaders who are in high positions but eat, drink and have fun immediately. The army of unscrupulous and crazy thinking has been fooled into an announcer of LV...
Sister Gaia, although I know that obeying the orders of the mistress is a manifestation of Teijin's integrity, but haven't I reminded you that you must think twice before acting on any suggestion made by that whimsical girl Qianqian ! That girl built this nonsense lv, she really didn't want to promote the eternal glory of the empire, but just wanted to find a place for the logo she designed!
Of course, Gaia didn't know what I was complaining about. Although she saw the resentment flashing across her boss's face, she still prioritized her work and reported: "Your Majesty, the Intelligence Center of the Space-Time Administration reported that the border post of the Macro World detected their An irregular space flash occurred in this universe, lasting for one second, and the energy reading was very high."
"Spatial flash?" I was a little confused, "Maybe it's a black hole collapse or something, it shouldn't be a big deal."
"The second report shows that the outpost subsequently found a trace of psionic residual radiation frequency in the galaxy where the flash occurred. The Space-Time Management Bureau has sent sentries to investigate the situation, but they reported that there was a cloud with strong interference at the scene. , it may take some time to return the conclusion."
At this time, I finally had a real surprise: a space flash? Accompanied by psionic energy
Here, perhaps we should first explain what is a space flash.
The term space flash is a special term used in the Xiling technology system to describe the instantaneous instability of space. The image explanation is: a small piece of space (maybe only a few tens of meters in radius) is in a very short time due to some reasons. In the process of "disappearing" within, falling into an unobservable dimension, and then jumping back from that dimension again due to the correction effect of the world itself, from the perspective of the main material plane, the target space seems to disappear for a while Similarly, according to this phenomenon and the extremely short time it occurred, Imperial scientists vividly called this situation "space flash".
There are various reasons for space flashes, both within the world and outside the world. The causes in the world are basically sensational cosmic wonders such as the instantaneous collapse of supermassive bodies, black hole collisions, and catastrophic changes in celestial bodies. The reason for this may be that the world barriers of the two universes "grab the edge" slightly, causing the two worlds to exchange a small amount of information with each other: that is, the second flash will lead to crossing.
The apostles of Xiling are no strangers to the principle of space flash. The most common example is at the platform of the dimensional hub, where a large number of world gates apply similar principles. It uses wonderful physical law equipment to change the barrier between two worlds The parameters on the point make them form an extremely small hole like the cell membrane when cells fuse. When the world barrier overlaps at a certain point, the "information" of the two worlds can communicate freely in this hole. This is the world The door—Of course, the teleportation channel formed by this is not a "sudden flash", it is a long exposure.
But it is said that when the gate of the world was just researched, the imperial technicians at that time could only maintain the gate for a moment. Crossing the gate of the world that flashed was a technical job worth boasting at that time, and I leave it to you to react It usually takes no more than a second or two—when the light turns green, you have to bang on the gas pedal within a second.
In that era, the first batch of drag racing parties in the empire was born... Ahem, it's a long way off.
"Mom, this is carnival..."
After sorting out the origin of the space flash in my mind and the possible meaning of a space flash phenomenon with a psionic energy response, I looked at the sky speechlessly, "Do you want people to live here?"
So much trouble just happened the next day! After watching so many people eating, drinking and having fun for twelve days, can I just start working hard
"Well, Ah Jun, I want to open some." Of course, Sandora understands her lover's mentality of eating and waiting to die, and there is a funny expression on her face at this time: "Troublesome things are never less, At least what we found was psionic energy instead of the abyss, and an irregular eruption can basically rule out the possibility of the imperial spacecraft traveling across the world, maybe we just discovered a space outpost from the old empire era."
Alright, alright, I can't hide what I should come to, including the nearly one-month preparation time on the eve of the carnival, this long holiday is actually not short...
"After all, we have a responsibility."
Sandora stuffed her little hands into my pockets. Although she didn't need to use this method to keep warm, she was very good at coquettishly using this human girl's habit, "The king should always be vigilant and diligent. Slack is the privilege of servants. This is a famous saying widely spread by the Apostles of Xiling."
"Oh? Interesting, who said that?"
"I said it when I first took the throne."
I:"… "
Well, I have known for a long time that Sandora has the habit of using what she said and became famous to improve her sense of presence.
"Gaia, I hope to get more information this afternoon," Sandora turned her head to the holographic projection on the table, "If necessary, we can use higher-level regular troops. remains."
Gaia nodded and disappeared into the holographic projection, while ind's shutdown sound began to echo in our ears... Qianqian, Qianqian, you really dare to put anything in this LV!
"I always feel that something is wrong," Sandora put the teacup to her mouth and blew lightly, "It seems that since the last wave of time travel, the world travel, space imbalance, information leakage, information interference, etc. There are more and more incidents, such as Lilina's trek, Yakumo Zi, Reimu's time travel, Gensokyo's possible invasion of different time and space, and the space flash that happened in the frontier this time: if there is a ghost If it can appear, at least it must be related to the void, and these events should be more or less connected."
"The Space-Time Administration has begun to study these situations, but every world is functioning normally, and if there is a problem, it can only be caused by something in the void—then we can't control it."
It is not the first time that Sandora mentioned these situations. Since the tide crossed, the frequency of unexpected connections between worlds has increased significantly. Although it has not yet reached the point of triggering an alarm, this unreasonable increase It also seems too abrupt. The only possible explanation now is that the aftermath of the crossing tide is still not calm, and there are still unobservable turbulent flows in the void. These turbulent flows have stirred up the various worlds that were originally peaceful, causing these worlds to collide , Of course, no one can say clearly about the mechanism of this turbulent flow.
"I don't understand at all."
Yakumo Zi smiled awkwardly, and Sandora and I suddenly started talking about these profound questions to her, and both of them looked serious, which put a lot of pressure on Zi Ma, who is an irrelevant person , "Since you're starting to talk about business, I'll take my leave first—Lan, come here."
A gap appeared out of thin air, and Yakumo Zi jumped in first, and grabbed Yakumo Lan who was stroking her tail.
After the gap disappeared, Sandora and I looked at each other in blank dismay, silent for a long time.
"Girl, when do you think the two of them will remember... In fact, this is your room?"
"Cough cough, continue to drink tea."
Long time no see dividing line
In the afternoon, Shadow Base Command.
After waiting for half a day, the agents who went to a certain border post in the macro world to investigate finally sent back the information. As a result, this information directly pulled Sandora and me from the carnival venue.
A group of imperial agents found not only a bunch of messy space signals behind the strong interference source, but also something. Now the "object" that may have passed through the world barrier has been brought back by the scout ship and placed in the headquarters -In the gantry on level 1.
Me, Sandora, sisters Pandora, Tavel, and Qianqian who rushed over excitedly when they heard about something interesting, are all concentrated in the Ganaku now, observing the visitor from another world floating on the anti-gravity platform .
This is an irregular hard object with a radius of about four or five meters, and its shape looks like fragments blown out of a large stone. This thing is off-white as a whole, and has a reflective texture between metal and plastic. During the process of slowly rotating on the anti-gravity platform, it constantly refracts a cold glimmer of light. Several probes are lying on its surface , analyzing the structure of this thing.
"It looks like some kind of crystal, but the structure is not right," Tavel held her precious information screen, and the frantically refreshed data did not affect her analysis and report in a slow manner. "The general structure of natural crystals is very simple. , and the repeatability is extremely high, but the structure of this thing has the complexity of organic matter, and dense bands of matter are irregularly distributed in it, it looks like some kind of artificially synthesized polymer material has changed its properties after energy irradiation , Well, it is theoretically so. Mistress! Please be sure not to use the disassembly tools in your hands, we have higher precision ones."
Qianqian took back the crowbar and hammer in her hand: "Hey, I just want to knock one piece back and carve a chapter."
What kind of train are you running in your head alone!
Gently pressing the information screen on his hand, Tavier refreshed the results scanned by the probe again: "Well, the composition analysis of the surface layer has been completed, but the properties of this thing have been severely mutated, and the reverse recovery will take a while. At present It can only be confirmed that it has experienced world crossing, and now the deep scan is going to... Ah, Your Majesty, look!"
Tavel, who has always been mature and steady, exclaimed, which made me stunned, and immediately moved over.
"Here, a little bit in the middle, is this a human?!" RO
