Chapter 36

Luo Ran shuddered slightly.

He looked at the phone like a cold and ferocious monster.

He knew very well that if he didn't answer the phone, Wen Er would come to his house in person.

Wen Er knew where he lived and would come to visit with gifts.

Wen You would not even mention that he went home without authorization. Wen You would greet his parents appropriately, care about his health, and even apologize.

Wen Er is very good at apologizing. He will tell his father that he is sorry. It was him who failed to take good care of Xiao Luo and let Xiao Luo run away alone for three months, which ruined his body like this.

Wen Er would tactfully tell his parents that because Xiao Luo knew that you came to the general research institute for exchanges and observations, his mood was somewhat affected. He was accidentally injured while detecting an electronic storm, which would cause abnormal mood swings and require hospitalization.

People will believe in Wen Er.

Luo Ran didn't know where these thoughts came from. He couldn't remember many things in the past. He had a severe headache, could not speak, and had no strength to defend or refute.

He knew that if he didn't answer the call, Wen You would have countless ways to trick his parents into taking him back.

He should answer Wen Er's call.

...He didn't want to answer Wen Er's call.

"Okay." Yu Tang said.

Only then did the system realize that the host was actually in the sea of consciousness, and was shocked: "Host! Why are you—"

Yu Tang pressed back the system, made a "hush" gesture towards it, and took back the already dim card.

Yu Tang switched back to body control.

He lowered his gaze, still maintaining Luo Ran's state, and shook his head silently with a pale face.

Seeing his son's reaction, Luo's father frowned slightly and didn't ask anything.

Father Luo put the phone aside and let it vibrate without stopping.

"Can you stand up?" Father Luo asked, "Do you want dad to help?"

Luo Ran's ears felt hot and he buried himself in the water without saying a word.

Father Luo saw his son lively for the first time today. Looking at the red tips of Luo Ran's ears, a smile finally appeared on his face, and he quietly informed Luo Ran: "Mom made a table of dishes, including braised prawns in oil."

"Get dressed and go out to eat."

Father Luo stood up with a smile: "Don't ask about mom and dad, don't think about anything, just eat and sleep full."

Luo Ran's throat moved and he closed his eyes.

Father Luo was speechless.

He didn't want his son to worry, so he took a deep breath and wiped his face vigorously with the steam in the bathroom.

He turned around hastily and quickly walked out of the bathroom.

…

"Host."

The system whispered: "According to logic, if you don't answer this call, Wen Er will come directly to Luo Ran's house."

System: "Wen You is too impeccable. Even if Father Luo and Mother Luo have vague suspicions, Wen You will turn his army against them and blame them for Luo Ran's strange behavior."

It's not like this has never happened in previous plots.

My son is becoming alienated and unfamiliar little by little. How can a parent not feel anything at all?Luo's father and mother Luo had tried to contact Wen You, hoping to take Luo Ran out for a meal and have a chance to chat with their son.

That time, Luo Ran almost went wrong in the electronic storm.

Wen Er sent Luo Ran to the hospital and apologized to Luo's father and mother who came in despair.

Wen Er told Luo's father and mother that it was his fault. He had not thought carefully and should not have quarreled with Xiao Luo before the detection.

Mother Luo's face turned pale because of the red light in the emergency room. She squeezed her husband's arm hard and asked Wen You: "Fighting? What are you arguing about... What are you arguing about?"

Wen Er was silent and bowed apologetically to Father Luo and Mother Luo.

Mother Luo couldn't continue asking, her heart felt like it was being cut back and forth with a knife, and she was so regretful that she couldn't stand still.

...What else could it be because of?

Wen You and Luo Ran were just superiors and subordinates in the scientific research institute, and the only intersection they had was that Father Luo and Mother Luo asked Wen You to send a message to Luo Ran, saying they wanted to see the child.

"Xiao Luo is young, rebellious, and not willing to be disciplined."

Wen Er advised them: "This time it's just that the consciousness was affected by the electronic pulse. There is no serious problem with the body. You will be fine when you wake up."

Wen Er promised: "I will accompany him and enlighten him."

Father Luo and Mother Luo regretted it terribly.

They were completely filled with guilt and lingering fear, and they did not dare to cause trouble to their son without permission. They apologized to Wen You again and again and thanked Wen You.

Wen Er personally sent them out of the hospital and called a car to take them home.

…

"In this matter, Father Luo and Mother Luo are no match for Wen You."

The system reminded Yu Tang: "We can't make OOC too serious for the time being. If Wen Yi comes, we may have to go back with him..."

Yu Tang knew: "He doesn't have time to come."

The system was stunned for a moment: "Why?"

Yu Tang: "Exchange."

Now when the system hears these two words, it wants to garbled them: "..."

"Exchange." Yu Tang thought for a while, "Half of the electronic storm related data records detected by Luo Ran."

Yu Tang helped with the idea: "A temporary righteous hacker can be generated. Out of personal interest, he attacked the terminal of the scientific research institute with an unknown virus."

system:"……"

"Don't worry." Yu Tang said, "I have confirmed that the ownership of these scientific research data belongs to Luo Ran, and all relevant articles published by the scientific research institute have his second author."

"...Host." The system struggled to keep up with his train of thought, "Are the data records also redeemed?"

"The essence of the transaction in the mall exchange is to recycle physical items and restore them into data mode to supplement the data pool of advanced special data."

Yu Tang: "I trade data directly now, and there is no middleman to make the difference. Why isn't it exchanged?"

The system didn't understand, so it helped him bring up the mall page with a small snowflake on the screen.

Yu Tang entered the content and clicked to confirm.

Research related to Electronic Storm is S-level top secret. It is not backed up on the Internet and no copying is allowed.Anyone who wants to use the information can only use a unique ID to go to the terminal to view and call.

In other words, the only copy of these extremely expensive top-secret data is in the terminal of the General Research Institute.

With half of the data suddenly lost, Wen Er, the director and person in charge of the general research institute, probably won't have the leisure to knock on Luo Ran's door for a while.

"Look." Yu Tang wiped away the water and stood up to put on his clothes. "Everything can be solved. There will always be a way."

The cards lie quietly in the sea of consciousness.

It is no longer a particle mist, and cannot even cover the amber pendant. The luster of the lines condensed into the card is also much darker than before.

The system had just detected it and whispered to Yu Tang: "Host, it is too tired."

Particle fog has no consciousness fluctuations. When Yu Tang condensed it into a card, the system noticed that Yu Tang gave it a small amount of his own mental power.

Using these mental powers as a guide, the real "Luo Ran" who had dissipated appeared briefly for a few minutes when Father Luo came in.

But no matter how long it takes, it can only last a few minutes.

Luo Ran's data is not complete yet, so forcing it to start running like this would consume too much energy.Even with Yu Tang's mental strength, he couldn't sustain it for longer.

Yu Tang asked: "I am responsible for maintaining vital signs and actions, and he is only responsible for feelings and reactions. Isn't the energy enough?"

The system has never encountered such a situation. It floated in Yu Tang's sea of consciousness, with a little red light flashing in embarrassment.

Yu Tang sighed: "Then there's nothing we can do."

Yu Tang got dressed, took the bath towel, and rubbed his hair: "I'm going to eat braised prawns."

system:"?"

Yu Tang used the surveillance camera to peek into the kitchen and specially showed a close-up shot: "Fried lotus root clips, crystal meat, braised lion's head..."

Yu Tang pointed the surveillance camera to the steaming stove: "Carrot, corn and pork ribs soup."

System: "...Host."

Yu Tang took the system's stereo speakers, clicked on the backstage, and selected an episode of "A Bite of China".

In the melodious dinner BGM, the card turned red with anger, struggled and staggered up, and plunged into Yu Tang's sea of consciousness.

Father Luo and Mother Luo did not ask a single word.

They kept bringing food to Luo Ran, and the small empty bowl in front of Luo Ran was filled up in an instant. Mother Luo urged Father Luo to get a new bowl.

The son, who was so thin that he could be shaken by a gust of wind, made Mother Luo's heart ache.

Mother Luo couldn't rest for a moment. When Father Luo got the bowl back, she peeled the shrimps for Luo Ran.

Plump and huge prawns, light red and shiny shrimp oil, rich and fragrant, full of shrimp paste.Father Luo and Mother Luo specially left it for their son. It has been frozen in the refrigerator and has never been willing to eat it.

The fried lotus root is crispy, the crystal meat is crispy and tender, and the braised lion's head is covered in thick red gravy. Mother Luo knows her son's taste, so she specially adds an extra spoonful of fragrant gravy, pouring it hot over the freshly cooked rice.on the rice.

Yu Tang handed over all the sensations in his body to Luo Ran and returned to the sea of consciousness. He watched Luo Ran work hard to eat hard at the urging of his parents.

The system quietly drifted over: "Host..."

"Let's have a bucket of instant noodles." Yu Tang ordered, "I want the supreme luxurious assorted and mixed flavors."

The system rubbed his shoulder.

"I don't want seafood." Yu Tang said, "Fortunately, he is here to take over the job...remember to pay for the shrimp you eat."

Yu Tang was prepared for a rainy day: "Lest I wake up tomorrow and I'm swollen into a ball, and we have to spend more experience points to buy desensitization medicine."

Compared with the data records monitored by Luo Ran, the system has become accustomed to these trivial things and skillfully opened the mall panel.

The card suddenly flashed silently.

"……Need not."

Yu Tang discerned its fluctuations in consciousness: "I don't like eating crystal meat and lion heads that much."

Yu Tang is picky about food: "The pork rib soup is okay... I don't like carrots."

The card remained unmoved and continued to flash stubbornly.

"It's really not necessary." Yu Tang laughed, "Bring me a piece back to the bedroom to eat, how do you explain it to your parents?"

Ka Kaifang tried hard to find something on the dining table for a long time, but couldn't find anything he wanted to eat. The red light dimmed listlessly.

Yu Tang made instant noodles, Xilihulu finished eating, and stretched himself in the sea of consciousness: "I'm not helping you for nothing, I'm here to work to earn experience points."

"If you really want to help me, just cheer up yourself."

Yu Tang looked at the energy slot of the card, took over the control of his body, and rushed to help Mother Luo wash the dishes: "Teach me later how to ride that big broken motorcycle of yours."

Card was stunned for a long time.

After having a meal with my parents, its energy has been used up again, its light has dimmed a lot, and it is swaying back.

Before it was completely extinguished, it also learned the system and clumsily rubbed against Yu Tang.

…

Yu Tang successfully got the job of washing dishes.

Father Luo and Mother Luo felt sorry for their son, and were unwilling to see Luo Ran disappointed. They did not go against Luo Ran's wishes, but told their son to wash up quickly after washing the dishes, go back to the room and have a good sleep.

Father Luo originally wanted to say a few more words, but Mother Luo dragged him away and returned to the study together.

The couple returned to the study, carefully closed the door tightly, lowered their voices, and quietly discussed their son's obvious abnormality.

Yu Tang was washing dishes in the kitchen. After washing the last one, the mobile phone placed by the sink started vibrating again.

Yu Tang glanced at the incoming call reminder and tapped the system: "No problem."

Wen You did not come to pick up Luo Ran, and did not use his most convenient manipulation method of "I apologize, you reflect". Instead, after failing to get through four consecutive calls, he called a fifth time in the middle of the night.

From now on, the game has entered Yu Tang's rules.

Yu Tang and the system confirmed: "Is Luo Ran asleep?"

The system was stunned for a moment, then went over to confirm: "There is no consciousness fluctuation... He is exhausted today."

"This consumption will take at least a week to make up for."

The system said: "At this stage, no matter what we do, he will never wake up."

Yu Tang was relieved: "That's good."

system:"……"

system:"?"

"Do something outrageous." Yu Tang said, "Don't bring bad luck to the children."

Luo Ran's life should not be interfered with by Wen You at all.

Luo Ran, Luo Ran's parents, and this family's life should be clean.

The parents concentrate on research, and the son shines in his own field. They go home to stay together in the evening and settle down to have a good dinner.

Yu Tang is ready to push forward and speed up the plot line of the protagonist's attack. Of course, he must first use some means to deal with Wen Er.

These methods... he was not prepared to let Luo Ran know.

Yu Tang took the phone, walked to the balcony, and answered the call.

Wen Er's voice still sounded calm at first.

He didn't seem to expect Luo Ran to answer the phone. He hesitated for a moment imperceptibly, and then said a few gentle words to Luo Ran as usual.

Yu Tang remained silent, occasionally responded once or twice, and called backstage to take a look.

Those data records showed in the background that the transaction was successful, and the General Research Institute was undoubtedly in chaos now.

The person in charge, Wen Er, is the first to bear the brunt of this. The reason he is calling now is definitely because he has a substitute lover who has run away.

"System." Yu Tang asked in the sea of consciousness, "Can we compile a collection of quotations from what Wen You usually said to Luo Ran?"

The system flashed the light: "Yes, host, do you need to start sorting it out?"

Yu Tang nodded.

Wen Er always believed that he had never forced Luo Ran.

He only said certain things to Luo Ran at certain times. It was because Luo Ran was too worried and sensitive, so he thought too much and took the initiative to do many things.

Just like the time that scared Luo's parents and Luo's mother, what Wen Er said to Luo Ran before Luo Ran was in danger in the electronic storm.

That time, Luo Ran entered electronic storm detection for three consecutive days, and his body and mind were stretched to the limit.

Yu Tang called out the context, marked in red what Wen Er had said, and copied it sentence by sentence.

Wen Er asked Luo Ran, who was a little disappointed but still gentle, as he wanted to take a day off. Is it really so difficult to detect electronic storms?

Wen Er asked, aren't you the best at these things?Why can't it work today?

Wen Er said, you are far from Pu Ying in everything, but for this one thing, even I have to admit that you are better than him, and no one is better than you.

Wen Er said, you are the best, I have always believed in you, and this is all the value that allows you to stay at the General Research Institute.

Wen Er asked Luo Ran, don't you want to prove your worth through your own abilities?

…

Yu Tang withdrew his mind and listened to Wen Er's words to him on the phone.

"Something happened in the institute." Wen Er said, "Xiaoran, come back, I need you."

Wen Er can be the youngest head of the general scientific research institute in the entire alliance, and he does have his own abilities.Even in the face of such a serious data loss incident, he was sensible enough and was not overwhelmed by the sudden accident.

Wen Er had quickly figured out a way to deal with it.

"We don't have enough data. Now is when we need you the most."

Wen Er patiently coaxed him: "Expedit the detection a few times, fill in the data, and the institute will apply for the Alliance's A-level merit for you, okay?"

"When the awards are presented, both your parents can come and they can watch you go on stage to receive the award."

"Do you know about the A-level scientific research meritorious service? Only a few people in the entire science department have received it."

Wen Er said: "There is Pu Ying."

…

Yu Tang sighed in the sea of consciousness: "It's so cruel."

The system flashed the small red light vigorously.

Wen Er knows how to control Luo Ran.

If it was the original Luo Ran, because of his words, not to mention filling in the missing data, he would probably be thrown into the electronic storm with his life.

"Everyone who does scientific research dreams of getting this meritorious service, and no one will be an exception."

In reality, Wen Er is still tempting: "The same goes for your parents..."

Luo Ran retorted in a low voice: "My parents are different."

On the other end of the phone, Wen You paused for a moment, his light gray pupils dimming slightly.

He knew that nothing good would happen to Luo Ran when he returned home.

"My parents are different." Luo Ran said, "Because I lost weight, my mother was cruel to me."

On the phone, Luo Ran's voice was a little hoarse and had a faint nasal sound, as if he had cried.

He spoke in a low and vague voice, with the stubbornness that a young man cannot overcome: "I won't leave, I want to stay with my mother."

When Luo Ran still remembered how to resist, he would often use this tone to argue with Wen You in a disorganized and almost collapsed manner.

Wen Er lightly tapped the table.

...He knew how to deal with Luo Ran at this time.

He took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly and without leaving any trace, and said slowly: "Xiao Ran, what if I need you too?"

"You are very important to me, more important than Pu Ying."

Wen Er said: "I can't do it without you."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"I'm in trouble." Wen Er said, "Come and help me. Only you can help me."

Luo Ran was stunned for a while and repeated softly: "Difficulty?"

Wen Er stopped talking.

He would not say such words easily. In his heart, Pu Ying was a completely special existence and should not be compared with anyone, let alone be overpowered by Luo Ran, a reckless and reckless young man.

But there is really nothing we can do today.

Even if he had to tell some lies to deceive a child, he still had to lower his head and coax Luo Ran back.

Wen Er could already hear the looseness in Luo Ran's tone, and felt more confident. She said slowly and patiently: "Yes, it's a big difficulty that I can't solve..."

Luo Ran: "Is it really that difficult?"

Wen Er was stunned.

The confident and calm look stayed on his face before it even faded away.

A very subtle strange feeling rose up.

...He once said this to Luo Ran.

When Luo Ran couldn't hold it anymore and wanted to take a day off from him to skip an electronic storm detection.

Wen Er shook his cell phone. He suddenly felt inexplicably irritable. The next moment, the strange feeling became more obvious.

On the other end of the phone was Luo Ran's voice.

He was very familiar with this kind of Luo Ran - without any emotional fluctuations. Every time he came back from the electronic storm, Luo Ran would be asked by him to memorize many of Pu Ying's words and recite them to him sentence by sentence.

Luo Ran was like this when he recited those words, as if all his personality had been completely wiped out and turned into an empty shell that could not contain anything.

Personality annihilation, Wen Er has guessed, is probably one of the side effects of being close to an electronic storm.

A part of the emotion and personality has been annihilated, and the person will only learn what others say and do what others ask, turning into a cold machine.

But...this time, Luo Ran was reciting the words he himself had said.

Luo Ran's voice rang in his ears on the phone.

"But... aren't you the best at these things?"

"You are the best and I always believe in you."

"Why can't it work today?"
