"Your Majesty, what is your mission?"
Tavel stood in front of me with a straight posture of a soldier, but his face was uneasy, and his voice did not sound as full of indomitable confidence and courage as usual. This researcher who is always full of energy and rushes forward unexpectedly also It's really surprising that there are times of embarrassment like this. I was also a little stunned at this time, and then I remembered that when Sandora assigned the aftermath task of this incident just now, she had accurately assigned each part of the work content to the individual, but she did not assign the task to Tavel, and even Some scientific research departments that should have been in charge of Tavel were assigned to other research groups.
So it's no wonder that the glasses girl in front of her is so upset: she probably thinks it's punishment for messing things up, and naturally there is a lot of pressure.
Of course, as an apostle of Xiling, Tavel will not complain about any punishment imposed on him, and the orders from the superior individual will be 100% executed. Tavel, an emotional "person", will still inevitably feel frustrated, especially this "punishment" still makes her suspend her research project. For a scientist, there is nothing more terrifying than this. However, although Tavel's restless performance is reasonable and reasonable, it is still a bit different from the general Xiling apostles. In short, it is more humane. Pandora came to the earth together and was one of the previous generation of apostles born in the old empire, but as a senior individual, she grew up after the establishment of the new empire, which caused Tavel to be more in contact with our family I learned richer personal feelings in middle school. I don't know what others think, but I personally think it's a good change.
"Just take a break for a while."
I don't know if Sandora really intends to "punish" Tavel, but I know that she is not actually angry because of the other party's fault this time. As the closest person to Sandora, she has a change in her lover's mood I still understand it very well. Although judging from the analysis of this accident, it can be said that Tavel's personal mistakes caused a considerable amount of damage to the wreckage of the deep diving ship, but as I said before, in this kind of project that is not sure, who There is no guarantee that she will not make mistakes, so Sandora probably does not intend to anger Tavel because of this. Instead, she may want to take this opportunity to let the latter take a break and relax the burden on her shoulders—of course there is still 5% The tenth possibility is that dinner time is approaching, and Her Majesty, who puts the core of our thinking and stomach together, has been ruled by the stomach, and withdraws after a few sentences...
Well, based on the degree of spiritual connection between me and Sandora, why do I think this possibility is so high
"The subordinates just want to..." Tavel said in a hurry, but before she finished speaking, I waved my hand: "I know what you mean, don't worry, no one will let you leave the scientific research position, but you really need Rest. You said that the accident on the deep diving ship was due to your carelessness, but to be honest, there is no one who does not make mistakes in scientific research. You just happened to make one of the more serious ones. I think you are under too much pressure. It’s getting older, it’s infinitely better for you to rest for a few days as a matter of urgency than to help you deal with the funeral affairs in a hurry. Don’t get excited, think about it for yourself, how many mass projections have you activated in the past month?”
Tavel opened his mouth and revealed a number: "One hundred and twenty-five, and thirty-seven research projects at the same time..."
This time it was my turn to be stunned: I just asked casually just now, but I didn't expect Tavel to really say such a crazy thing! Darling, how many cores does this sister have in her brain...
"Okay, you will soon be able to form a small army by yourself, thirty-seven research projects, do you want to exhaust yourself to death?"
"The subordinates are a special apostle tribe, which has great advantages in data parallel processing."
"That must have a limit." I resisted not to hit a knife on the head of Yujie in front of me. This is used to teach a group of girls who have not grown up or not grown up at all. It is good to teach a class teacher. The temperamental Yujie is not suitable. "Sikaro is still known as the city management nemesis, why not let Reimu block the alley three times in a row.? Manpower is sometimes poor—it's not just people who are sometimes poor."
As soon as I started running the train with my mouth full, Tavel was speechless and didn’t know what to say for a long time, because people with normal logic can’t keep up with my jumping speed. Can't keep up, but she dances faster than me.
"Go back and rest for a while, this is not a punishment, nor is it dissatisfied with your work." I said earnestly, and patted Tavel on the shoulder, feeling like the leader of a township enterprise encouraging employees, "Just treat it as an organizational reward." You take a break, I haven't seen you take off this white robe since the day I met you. Now give you seven days off, go back and find some private entertainment, buy some beautiful clothes, or I will think you This robe is a system-bound skin... "
Tavel: "Uh... oh, if this is your order."
Although it is still a bit reluctant to look at it, at least I don't have that kind of uneasiness and depression. Congratulations, congratulations.
After returning from Shadow City, the family was preparing for dinner. Anveena, who stayed at home, had already prepared a sumptuous meal. The table was full of organic, inorganic, and suspicious compounds. According to different diners, two colors were used. The plate is clearly marked with "Eating Area for Mortals" and "Eating Area for Sandora". Everything has to be bitten, including Ding Dong who is running away carrying a vegetable full of the table-what a nostalgic scene.
"I gave Tavel a vacation."
Seeing Sandora's eyes drifting towards me, I said something casually, most likely she wanted to ask this too.
"Well, it's good for her. Although many of the research projects she led recently are progressing very fast, they are also approaching her limit."
"Workaholics will have trouble sooner or later." Miss Lin sighed earnestly. "I used to have a colleague who was a workaholic. He often didn't go home for a month or two when he was out on assignment."
Even though I guessed what Lin Xue wanted to say, I still asked in a cooperative way: "What happened next? Something happened?"
"Later, his wife chased him thousands of miles away and went to Dubai, where she and the other three were stolen. His wife is also a member of the organization, and is responsible for intelligence..."
What this story tells us is, never believe that the eldest lady can spit out that kind of thing, thanks to the fact that I was still looking forward to her little story just now.
After dinner, it was still raining heavily outside. Originally, the summer was long, and it should still be bright outside at this time, but because of the heavy rain, it was as if it was night, and only a little yellowish light could be seen in the sky. Such a heavy rain , It was obviously impossible to go out for a walk after dinner as usual, so I continued to lie on the front door of the window to watch the rain.
Qianqian moved to my side and muttered, "I'm so bored at home, I want to go out and play."
"What are you going to do in such a heavy rain? It's really boring to go to Shadow City. There has just been a seven-day sunny autumn theme package, which is enough for you to play."
"Shadow City is still different from the outside, not lively." Qianqian's only criterion for judging the joy of life is whether it is lively or not. "How about I drive the shield to go around the water system around the city? I wanted to do this when I was a child, and it was raining heavily." Go for a run outside or something."
I thought about it, and was about to stop it, but when I turned my head, I found that Qianqian had disappeared: This girl, what a terrifying ability to act, it's as soon as she thinks about it!
However, Qianqian's various random offline behaviors on weekdays have become a daily scene at home. I have no other reaction other than sighing. Looking at the sky outside, I think it may take a few minutes for the girl to feel it. Bored and ran back.
Speaking of which, she mentioned that she liked to run around in the rain when she was a child. I still have a little impression of this incident. I remember that we were all young and lived in an old house in the old city. Not far from the door was a large area of weeds The grassland is low-lying, and it will be flooded when it rains. Every time it rains and snows, it is the liberation day for all the children in the whole alley. Because the local road conditions are famous in the city, there is a reason not to go to class when it rains, and I and I Qianqian is more free than other children in places where she can sneak out to play in this situation: the main reason is that my sister has no time to take care of me, and Qianqian's father is digging the ancestral graves of the ancients outside all the year round. My mother works in the city, and we are well-known local wild children who lack discipline and education. We both do a lot of things that other children dare not do, including running around in a plastic sheet in the heavy rain , wading in the big puddle in the meadow, imagining that I was fighting a shark monster in the South Pacific—even though Qianqian and I agreed at that time that the South Pacific was not too far from the flood control ditch west of the elementary school, but that couldn’t stop the two children Magnificent imagination is not it.
Now that many years have passed, Qianqian is still as mischievous as she was when she was a child, but I have degenerated into a guy who squats at the door with a small teapot in his hand to sip tea on a rainy day...
"Although the weather is not very good, there is a special romance in blowing the cool breeze and feeling the tiny water droplets on the face."
Lin Xue sat down next to me, looked at the rain curtain outside the eaves and said.
Although the big house at home looks a bit weird due to multiple renovations, the warehouse is not like a warehouse or a villa, but at least it has a complete range of accessories as a mid-to-high-end residence, including a particularly large one in front of the main entrance. The open door pavilion, the wide eaves block the falling rainwater, making the door a good place to enjoy the rain. Miss Lin and I sat side by side on the dry open space at the door, one sipping tea while the other bowed his head and peeled off. Chestnut, just like the landlord Laocai and his wife.
"You're quite literary once in a while?" Hearing Lin Xue lamenting the romance in the rain, I tilted my head and blew in the ears of the eldest lady. Heat, "That's not like what my hot-tempered young lady said."
"Don't make trouble, Miss Ben was educated in aristocratic education before she was fifteen years old. Being bold doesn't mean you can't take the graceful route. Don't spoil the atmosphere. It's rare for me to accompany you, who doesn't understand style." The wood is blowing a cool breeze outside."
The etiquette lessons of the noble daughter can be described as a struggle, and from this point on, I have no hope for the lady's graceful line, especially when she said this sentence, she was still grabbing chestnut kernels from me.
"It's so relaxing. It's much more comfortable with you than at home." Lin Xue turned her body slightly and leaned on my shoulder naturally. It’s okay to do anything around me, hehe, you say it’s so cool, the royal life here is not as many rules as a rich man in my family, I really don’t know why those old men usually have so many rules!”
I was quite surprised: "Your family can still be considered a local rich man?"
"Nonsense, Baqi has been arrested by you and sent to a forced labor camp. Who on earth is not a rich man."
I thought for a while: "It seems that Baqi was captured by the people of Star Field, right?"
Lin Xue turned her head, bumped my cheek with the back of her head, and continued to complain about the boring life at home and the messy rules.
The eldest lady is a person who doesn't like the stereotypes in the family. In her words, every family whose assets exceed the local township entrepreneurs is a cage. The richer the cage, the denser the cage, and the more historical the smaller the cage. If it is a big family with a history of a hundred years and a net worth of hundreds of millions, then basically you have to fart with more than a dozen people following the test ingredients, not to mention that the immediate family members are always making trouble outside, running around with unknown men and so on. , that can piss off old people. The eldest lady grew up in such a strict family education environment since she was a child. Before the age of thirteen, when she went out to play soy sauce, she was followed by half a reinforced company in casual clothes: Although I think she is talking nonsense, but there are many rules in a big family. There is no doubt about it.
If it weren't for her special talent to become a cadre of the ability group, and the boss behind the scene of the ability group is her own father, the current eldest lady might still be trapped in a cage.
"Maybe it will become a social huā or something, the legendary golden huā vase."
Lin Xue piled up the chestnut shells one by one on the ground, which were almost ten centimeters high at this time, and muttered in a low voice, "I feel cold all over when I think about it, hiss—being surrounded by a circle of people to practice ballroom dancing and social etiquette, Do you know, just one kind of red wine, there are four ways to open a bottle of meow, which almost killed me, but fortunately, this lady was so talented that she escaped."
Listening to the wonderful childhood life of the eldest lady, I feel all kinds of incredible things. I don’t know what kind of red wine can be opened in four ways, but I know that there is a goddess of light in my family. No matter what wine she drinks, she usually uses her teeth to pour it down. Nibbling the bottle caps, you know how bullshit those messy etiquettes are.
"So it's your place." Lin Xue sighed sincerely, "Sometimes I feel that even if others come to demolish your house, you can greet them with a smile. Where does this good temper come from?"
I thought for a while: "Are you gently reminding me that this house has been demolished several times?"
And in my impression, it seems that the guy who demolished the house for the first time was still with this guy's good friend Ji.
When I was chatting with the eldest lady, I felt a slight change in the time and space around me. This feeling is so subtle that it is difficult to describe it in words, and most people probably don't realize it at all: it's like the time and space around you. It's as if things suddenly lost a frame, cut off for an indescribably brief moment, and then glued back together.
This feeling is not unfamiliar: Qianqian is back.
Using time to speed up the journey is a little skill that Qianqian is familiar with. Sometimes she uses this trick to dodge around the house, but in fact it is only seen by people in ordinary time and space. In her own eyes, she is still I walked those distances slowly in normal time, so until now I still don't understand the significance of Qianqian running back and forth with time acceleration. Isn't space teleportation more useful
"Go out crazy for a few minutes, and finally feel boring?"
I turned my head to look at the short-haired girl who was trying to scare me with a smirk, and then looked at the other person's hand in surprise, "Ahem, what are you holding?"
"This?" Qianqian scratched her hair and shook the string of things in her hand, "It should be a string of Buddhist beads. A strange uncle passed by the moat just now, and he threw it to me."
I was puzzled: "...why?"
I feel that there is another phenomenon that I can't explain on Qianqian. You said why the passing uncle threw over the beads... Uh, no, why do you say that when the rain is pouring and it is dark, there will be people beside the moat? An uncle, passing by resolutely
At this time, Miss Lin suddenly opened her mouth to clear up the confusion: "It's raining heavily during the Ghost Festival. Standing on the edge of the moat, there is a white shadow with a blue light on its head floating towards you without touching its feet. You have to throw something over there." Qianqian, you forgot to turn on invisibility, right?"
We were shocked at the time, and thought that Qianqian shouldn't be allowed to go out alone...
But another thing quickly interrupted my focus on this matter: the young lady next to me suddenly frowned and covered her eyes, and then let out a "woo" from her mouth.
"What's wrong?"
I quickly supported Lin Xue's shoulders, feeling nervous for a while.
"Very... bad feeling, big crisis, big crisis of life!"
In an instant, I felt that the hairs on my face stood on end. Lin Banxian never lied, even Qianqian couldn't help but hopped and ran into the house with her bluff, but before the two of us called the whole family to discuss the battle meeting , the eldest lady waved her hand: "Don't... don't be nervous, it has nothing to do with you, it has something to do with me! Big crisis, big crisis in life! This lady seems to be in big trouble!"
"Hey, don't scare people." I grabbed the young lady's arm and reached out to touch her forehead. "Did you catch a cold?"
"Your sister caught a cold, I'm serious!" Lin Xue slapped my paw off, "There is a very, very troublesome thing about to happen, but it has nothing to do with the empire, this time even I can't see what's going on Now, the only thing that is certain is that Miss Ben's life will face a big problem, and you, a bitch, will also have a share!"
