Chapter 124

Before Yu Tang could react, he was already picked up by a pair of hands.

Zhan Chen handed himself to Yu Tang as a pillow. The strength in his arms was both appropriate and unquestionable. He circled Yu Tang behind him and punished the disobedient electronic storm in his arms.

Yu Tang coughed, stuffed the little red card and the little blue card holding the camera in the sea of consciousness into the sack together with the system, and threw in a handful of bubble gum: "Senior Zhan, there is someone else——"

He noticed that the strength of the arm behind him suddenly tightened, and his words paused.

Zhan Chen pulled him into his arms, and in the long-lost warm breath, Yu Tang suddenly heard the heartbeat in Zhan Chen's chest.

"Little ball of light." Zhan Chen said, "I'm back."

Yu Tang was quiet for a moment.

"I'm back, and these things won't hurt me anymore. It's more appropriate for me to do dangerous things."

Zhan Chen said: "You have to remember this."

Yu Tang raised his head and met Zhan Chen's gaze.

Zhan Chen rarely looked so serious when he looked down at him. The light in his black eyes was darker than usual, and the force holding him was more irresistible than usual.

…Yu Tang’s approach this time took too much risk.

Each S-level card will evolve from a domain into a completed world. In each such world, the core dimension will be flush with the eye of the storm - in other words, as long as you have the ability to enter the eye of the storm, you can in principle do it.Travel between various S-level realms.

Zhan Chen's original plan was to go to the card slot world to collect a card, leaving a card slot free for this S-level banned card.

Unknown to every card holder, if they fail to fill the card slot in time even once, they will be absorbed into the world.

When the card was sold, this note was intentionally hidden by the terminal.

Before the Director of the Secret Service purchased this banned card, the card had been withdrawn seven times, and each owner had turned it into a power card in the card slot.

As long as a slot is left vacant in the card slot, the space that will swallow up all existence can be "awakened".

…

But when Zhan Chen sent his core data back to the sea of consciousness and reached the card slot world through the eye of the storm, he only saw twelve empty card slots.

Zhan Chen's voice was slightly hoarse, revealing some lingering fear of being suppressed: "It's too risky."

Yu Tang nestled between Zhan Chen's arms. For the first time, the strength of Zhan Chen's arms made him feel a little painful, but he could still feel that more strength was stretched on the arms under the military uniform.

Zhan Chen is really angry.

Yu Tang's eyes narrowed slightly and he pursed the corners of his pale lips.

In Yu Tang's impression, Zhan Chen's temper has always been too good.

Even if the electronic storm continues to be ignorant and adds chaos, Zhan Chen will never be able to return to the original human world, Zhan Chen will have headaches and cannot sleep under the punishment of the system night after night, and Zhan Chen will die at the age of nineteen.The interrogation bed turned into a cold mass of data, and Zhan Chen had never been angry with him.

But this matter is different.

This thing really threatens Electronic Storm. It is also an S-level banned card. It is almost no different from the reverse devouring of the game world.

Once you fail to leave that world in time after collecting the card, even a little later, even the electronic storm will turn into a card that completely loses life and consciousness.

"This is not allowed in the future." Zhan Chen said, "If anything like this happens again, I must do it -"

Yu Tang interrupted in a low voice: "I don't."

Zhan Chen was slightly startled.

He didn't expect Yu Tang's reaction. He was so startled that the hardened look in his eyes softened slightly.

"I don't." Yu Tang said, "I want him to be absorbed twelve times."

As soon as he heard the Secret Service Director's voice, he recognized the man.

He listened very hard to Zhan Chen and only did things that made Zhan Chen happy. He wanted to always be a good storm, but he had to deal with this person personally.

If he hadn't been worried about getting another concussion and remembering Zhan Chen as Zhan Shilin, he would have just annihilated the director of the Secret Service into particles and swallowed him.

…

Zhan Chen's heart sank.

He had vaguely noticed something strange, folded his arms, and asked softly: "Little light ball... do you know him?"

Yu Tang didn't speak. He buried his face in the fabric of Xichen's shirt, moved slowly bit by bit, and curled up into a small ball.

The stiff strength in Zhan Chen's arms could no longer be tightened, but his eyebrows were frowning more and more tightly.

...On the day of his death, he clearly deactivated the electronic storm in advance.

Zhan Chen remembered clearly that he had already foreseen the crisis at that time, and was prepared for the worst when he was summoned by the Secret Service.

Zhan Chen handed a piece of information to Electronic Storm, telling Electronic Storm that it was an important secret and asked the powerful Daguang Group to transfer these secrets to the Security Department.

It was the first time that Electronic Storm asked him for help. He was so happy that he couldn't sleep, and his light shone all night long.

Zhan Chen deliberately calculated the distance on the road. According to the speed of the small light ball jumping on the street light, he could just jump to the security department at dawn - if he was still alive at that time, he could return to the experimental subject's hut as usual.Waiting for the electronic storm to come home.

While being tortured by the Secret Service, Zhan Chen kept paying attention to the little bit of sunlight streaming in through the cracks in the window to ensure that no ray of light sneaked in to find him.

…

If not at that time, when did Yu Tang meet the Director of the Secret Service?

What did the Secret Service Director do about the electronic storm?

Zhan Chen's heart sank.

He didn't ask any more questions. He wrapped Yu Tang in his arms, took off his military uniform jacket and covered him completely. He lowered his head and pressed Yu Tang's clammy forehead.

Yu Tang asked: "Senior Zhan, how many times has he been absorbed?"

"Seven times." Zhan Chen looked up and said, "He is now a portrait."

Yu Tang: "Help me apply two dark circles under his eyes and make a cross."

Zhan Chen: "..."

Yu Tang still held a grudge: "Hit two."

Zhan Chen was speechless, he folded his arms and agreed warmly: "Okay."

"Are you tired?" Zhan Chen lowered his head and gently brushed away Yu Tang's sweaty forehead, "Go to sleep and talk about other things when you wake up."

Yu Tang obediently closed his eyes.

Running to the card slot world to collect twelve cards at once, and running back in time without being caught to settle the score, is not easy even for Electronic Storm, which is known for its transmission speed.

Yu Tang leaned on Zhan Chen's chest, his body was wrapped in warmth, and he relaxed little by little.

Fatigue mixed with dizziness flooded his consciousness, constantly dragging him into a deep sleep.

Yu Tang asked in a low voice: "Senior Zhan, are you still angry with me?"

Zhan Chen was slightly startled.

He was not good at getting angry in the first place. He had only been frightened by the electronic storm's unauthorized risky actions before. After being distracted, he had long lost his emotions at the time and sighed dumbly: "Little ball of light——"

Yu Tang was buried in his arms, holding him tightly with both hands.

The electronic storm had not yet completely become a person's consciousness, so according to the past habit of making light balls, he lightly arched it twice on the crook of his neck and rubbed it softly.

Zhan Chen: "..."

Zhan Chen turned sideways, blocking the view of Sui Zhengfan and his wife, coughed slightly, and hugged Electronic Storm, who had dug into his shirt according to his habit of making light balls: "I'm not angry with you."

"I'm not angry with you, Xiao Guangtuan." Zhan Chen lowered his head and kissed Yu Tang's forehead, "I was scared."

The moment he saw the empty card slot, Zhan Chen suddenly understood how Electronic Storm felt when he ran back to him happily after delivering the documents and asked for cookies, but only saw an empty house that had been turned into a mess.

After understanding the Secret Service's attitude towards Electronic Storm, Zhan Chen could more or less guess what despicable methods they might use to trap Electronic Storm and what methods they might use to deceive Yu Tang.

Yu Tang never told him this.

Electronic Storm is easy to coax. No matter how long you have been looking for it, no matter how many times you have been lost by humans who don’t keep their word, you will be happy as long as you can meet again.

Yu Tang listened to Zhan Chen's words and did not devour humans. He patrolled regularly, tried his best to hide in sparsely populated places, and sent out humans who strayed into the electronic storm.

Yu Tang never told Zhan Chen that someone had been bullying Electronic Storm while Zhan Chen was away.

…

Team doctor Sui treated her husband's injury. After a moment's hesitation, he walked over gently: "Do you need help?"

Zhan Chen recovered his mind and nodded lightly.

Yu Tang just exhausted his mental energy too much. He would be fine after a sleep and did not need treatment. However, he did have something to ask Sui Zhengfan and his wife.

"We have two priorities right now."

Zhan Chen said: "First, we need to gather all the players in this orphanage."

The illusions of No. 19 and No. 45 have caused irreversible mutations in the orphanage. Except for him and Yu Tang as "guests", everyone else may be in danger at any time.

Only by gathering together can the players try to solve the predicament at hand.

"Okay." Team doctor Sui nodded, "What's the second thing?"

Zhan Chen looked at the portrait.

The Director of the Secret Service has been devoured ten times. The rule of the banned card is "the card slot must be filled at all times." As long as the card slot has not been filled, it will continue to be devoured.

Logically speaking, the director of the Secret Service should have been reduced to a line segment that can only swim in the shadows like everyone else.

But there is still a portrait there.

The horrified and empty gaze of the Secret Service Director was fixed on the painting, and the painting was even slowly changing, as if the person in the painting was desperately struggling to escape.

...But it’s just a struggle. From a high-dimensional perspective, low-dimensional things are just a painting without thickness.

It has become a conscious or unconscious line, which can at least swim around the wall and find a new place to live.

But the dimension in which the Secret Service director was trapped was as small as a 20-inch picture frame 40.6 centimeters wide and 50.8 centimeters long.

He can only stay inside forever, being swallowed up by the card world again and again.

"The second thing, we have to figure out how he got in."

Zhan Chen said: "Only ten players are allowed to enter the orphanage. If he did not enter the orphanage as a player, he must have another identity."

Team doctor Sui was stunned for a moment: "Other identity?"

Zhan Chen nodded.

He pondered for a moment and suddenly asked a question: "The Sui family has always had a tradition of doing charity and funding orphanages. Is this true?"

"Strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as a public welfare."

Sui Zhengfan came over and said, "According to the allocation from the alliance headquarters, each family has its own interstellar projects that require capital injection."

The A-level superpower's recovery speed is far faster than that of ordinary people. With the help of his wife's treatment, he has now recovered more than half of the several gunshot wounds he suffered before.

Sui Zhengfan did not disturb Yu Tang and sat down on the floor next to the sofa: "The Wen family and the Pu family are jointly responsible for maintaining the scientific research funds of the General Research Institute of the Ministry of Science, and the Ye family is responsible for injecting funds into the mecha research base... The Sui family was assigned an orphanage.."

Zhan Chen asked: "There is only one orphanage?"

Sui Zhengfan himself felt it was ridiculous and smiled helplessly: "We couldn't figure it out at first and thought there must be something fishy in it."

...But they have been to the orphanage many times, and have sent their own children to the orphanage as long-term volunteers, but they have not been able to find any problems.

There were indeed ordinary children in that orphanage who looked completely normal, with nothing unusual about them.

"According to the statement from the alliance headquarters, the children in this orphanage are all selected and need special training, so a huge amount of funds is needed."

"This situation is not uncommon. Xiaozhan was also selected into the Security Department in this way."

Sui Zhengfan said: "One-tenth of the Sui family's total annual income is injected into this orphanage as required."

Zhan Chen asked: "Is this our current one?"

Sui Zhengfan did not answer immediately. He pondered for a moment and then slowly shook his head: "I'm not sure."

"The layout is very similar, but when we came to see it, it wasn't as dilapidated."

Sui Zhengfan said: "The facilities are very new and the children's living conditions are also good. We even adopted a child..."

He suddenly paused in his words and couldn't help but frown.

Zhan Chen asked: "Director Sui?"

Sui Zhengfan did not speak immediately.

...I don’t know why, but at that moment, he suddenly felt that he and his wife had adopted a child.

But this episode was completely absent from his memory.

He only remembered that he and his wife had a son named Sui Si, who was not very obedient and was incompatible with the Sui family. He had wanted to be an actor since he was a child, liked acting, and liked to experience other people's lives in the play.

After emerging from the electronic storm, Sui Zhengfan and his wife asked about the situation of their special team teammates and their son during the short break when they reported back to the security department.

The director of the Secret Service told them that their teammates had left Electronic Storm safely, Zhuang Yu was still in the special operations team, and everyone was living well.

Sui Si was doing what he liked and it was going well. He also fell in love with a young man named Ke Ming who came out of the orphanage.

I heard that the Sui family was not satisfied and wanted to test the two young men for a while.

"……fine."

Sui Zhengfan suppressed his thoughts and calmed down: "Let's deal with the problem at hand first - find other players in this orphanage, right?"

Zhan Chen looked away from the portrait and nodded: "If possible, please gather them all in the hall."

Sui Zhengfan nodded, walked aside, raised his hand and pressed it against the wall.

"This orphanage is haunted now, right?"

Team Doctor Sui frowned slightly: "We have encountered this kind of game round with supernatural phenomena before. In the orphanage, players may encounter children who died here and be trapped by them..."

As long as the player has special powers, this haunted level is not difficult to pass.

As long as there are A-level players in the team who have psychological abilities and can open fields, or physical abilities with life and purification directions, ghosts will hardly take any advantage.

"This orphanage won't."

Zhan Chen shook his head: "The roles of ten children have been taken up by players."

Regardless of the director of the Secret Service, Sui Zhengfan and his wife were transmitted after the deaths of No. 19 and No. 45.

Zhan Chen and Yu Tang were originally considering whether there were any requirements related to age and gender. Now it seems that at least the screening is not strict in this regard.

"There are three people in the basement, two outside, two in the bedroom area on the second floor and one in the bathroom."

Sui Zhengfan walked back: "My domain cannot be integrated with this orphanage. It can only be used for detection. I tried to mark their location."

His special power is "mimicry", which can turn his body into a part of the environment. In the woods, he once encountered Yu Tang, who was secretly intercepted and killed by the auditors.

"Now it seems that this orphanage is in a dormant state, and everything should be opened."

Sui Zhengfan said: "Before more changes happen, you stay here while I go find others -"

Before he could finish his words, the bell suddenly rang like a reminder for class.

In the empty villa, the ringtone seemed particularly harsh, echoing far and near, occasionally accompanied by the sound of sizzling electricity.

"There is an exam today."

A hoarse voice with a slightly changed tone came from unknown sources. Team Doctor Sui's expression changed slightly, and he unconsciously moved closer to her husband's body.

She and Sui Zhengfan followed the sound and looked over, their eyes suddenly showing surprise.

...The one who is talking is the portrait on the ground!

The director of the Secret Service is framed in the painting, looking increasingly horrified.

His face seemed to be covered with a mask of the same appearance, which had nothing to do with his own will. He grinned slowly, revealing a weird smile.

His own voice came from his mouth.

"The Sui family is too stingy and the money they give is too little."

"I bought one card and used it up. Now only the top three of you can be sponsored to study, and the rest will be arranged for you to be adopted into families."

"You must be obedient. Only obedient children will be liked."

"Let the dean take a look, which child is luckier?"

…

The sound stopped suddenly.

In front of them, the space slowly fluctuated, and a door floating in the air appeared.

The author has something to say: Da Guang Tuan: Cengceng Q^Q.
