When I staggered home with Shallow Shallow, the setting sun was still hanging in the sky.
Although it was nice to stroll under the setting sun, but …
"Girl, it should be dark by now, right?"
With an expression that didn't know whether to laugh or cry, I said to the girl who still had a nonchalant expression. Although I didn't think much of it in the beginning, after such a long time, even the slowest person would have sensed that something was wrong.
"Sigh, Ah Jun's reaction is really slow, he only noticed it now."
He gently shook his head and sighed. He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
"I just wanted to spend a little more time with Ah Jun."
Following her words, like a fast-forward video, the clouds in the sky that had been motionless for who knows how long began to move rapidly. The crimson glow of the sunset dimmed rapidly, and the sun set in the west in an instant. Night fell in the blink of an eye.
You interfered with the flow of time just because you wanted to stroll outside for a little longer. Shallow Shallow, you're really something.
"Hehe." After dispelling her ability, Shallow Shallow immediately returned to her usual lively personality. She pouted her nose and said proudly, "When I was young, I always thought that if time stopped after school, I would be able to play with Ah Jun to my heart's content! Now that wish has come true — Wow, Ah Jun, what's with that expression? "
"It's nothing." I waved my hand with the corner of my mouth. "My stomach hurts — Oh right, you can now conceptually break down the timeline?"
"You're not the only one who became stronger, Ah Jun." Shallow Shallow had a proud smile on her face. "Although I can only do it within a single street, I can now conceptually control the timeline. For example, I can control the timeline of 'Dusk' and 'Breeze' separately. Perhaps it won't be long before I can fabricate history."
That would be too cruel. Do you want that idiot Jingle to be locked up as soon as she takes office?
"We're back!"
I shouted loudly at the door. Following that, the one who opened the door for us was my big sister, who was holding a ladle, and a head that popped out from beside her.
"Ah, Blockhead, I'm here to freeload!"
"I'm sorry. I opened it the wrong way." After saying that expressionlessly, I pulled Shallow Shallow back and closed the door.
When he opened the door, the big sister was still there. The owner of the head was also there. With a cheeky smile, he said, "Blockhead, I'm here for a free meal!"
Pfft, I knew that I would never be without this troublesome young miss!
After giving Lin Xue's head a light smack as a greeting, Shallow Shallow and I entered the living room. Jingle was still lying on the coffee table in the middle of the room, playing with her iron hoop. This silly girl had probably already forgotten how she protested in the beginning. When she saw me and Shallow Shallow walk in, the little thing immediately pounced on us in high spirits, her hands holding two iron hoop with a radius almost equal to her height.
"Ah Jun! Jingle learned it! Jingle learned it! "
At this moment, I was thinking, if blasphemy would result in me being sentenced to hell, and hell was underground, would I have already crawled out from the other side of the earth?
The little thing obviously didn't notice the strange expression on my face or the surrounding people, especially Miss Lin, who was full of shock. She only danced in front of me, then threw the two iron hoop into the air. In a flash, a green figure formed a sharp arc in the air, and Jingle successfully passed through the two iron hoop at an angle.
"Dingdang can rely on this to perform in the next Star Field Pantheon Sports Meet! Maybe Jingle can become the first Goddess of Life in history to win a medal in the Sports Meet! "
"Little ancestor, please don't!" I shuddered and broke out in a cold sweat. Without any explanation, I grabbed the confused Jingle with both hands, "You can treat this as a personal hobby. Don't ever perform this thing in front of the Gods, understand?"
Because I will definitely be beaten to death by the Nine Heavens Gods!
"Although I don't understand, but Ah Jun seems to care a lot." Jingle tilted her head and looked at me for a while, then shouted happily, "Then Jingle will just perform the iron hoop drill for Ah Jun!"
Miss Lin, who was watching the interaction between the master and pet for a long time, rolled her eyes at the sky, "Tch, @ # ¥%% ¥# ¥…"
Hey, what you said just now has been censored and posted here.
"Alright, alright, when are you guys going to stop?" A helpless and doting voice came from behind. Looking towards the source of the voice, I saw the big sister wearing an apron and smiling warmly as she placed a pot of steaming hot soup on the table. "As long as you go out to play with Shallow Shallow, you will definitely wait until the sky is dark before coming back. This has never changed since we were young."
Ugh, big sister's motherly tone also hasn't changed for more than ten years.
"Where's Lei?" I asked curiously as I sat down at the table, but I didn't see the black-haired girl who was always excitedly helping everyone prepare the bowls and chopsticks.
"She has already returned to the school city." The big sister didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "That girl, she almost died from anxiety."
"So anxious to return?" I was surprised. "You didn't even greet her."
Ugh, speaking of which, greeting her wasn't really necessary. With the existence of the World Gate, going to another world to study was equivalent to walking two streets to school. It wasn't a big deal, but rushing back without even greeting her wasn't Lei's style.
"Let's forget about the time difference." The big sister couldn't help but burst into laughter. "There is a slight difference in the flow of time between the school city and this world. Even though it is evening now, the school city just happens to be the end of the holidays and the first day of classes will be held. Lei is currently the top student of Zhichuan Middle School, she can't possibly be late, right? That girl held a piece of bread in her mouth and rushed into the teleportation gate in her fighter jet. She looks exactly like you coming to school late when you were young. "
Huh? So there is a need to pay attention to the time difference when traveling to another world?
But wouldn't Lei really cause a commotion by piloting a fighter jet to land on the venue of the school opening ceremony? Also, big sister, are you sure that I would rush out in a fighter jet if I was late to school when I was young?
"If that's the case, it's evening here, but it's morning there." Qian Qian, who was very sensitive to time, began to calculate. "In other words, when we sleep at night, the tears should be … during class?"
I replied, "Alright, she really has to go to class to deal with the time difference."
As we discussed our respective topics, this unprecedented family of ours started dinner. Even though it was a little noisy, at this moment, it gave off a warm feeling.
Looking at Sandora hugging a huge rice cooker and gorging herself on food, looking at Shallow Shallow and a few other kids fighting over sweets, looking at Bubble silently stuffing food into her mouth while staring at the twenty or so floating windows in front of her to watch the latest anime, I also had an additional pleasure now. That was to look at the pale-faced little sister Jill who had no choice but to feed Little Bubble patiently despite her unwillingness.
"It feels like I can eat a few bowls of rice just by looking at the lively and joyous scene in front of me." For some strange reason, I voiced out my bizarre thoughts at this moment.
"Then go ahead and eat your own sisters. I won't stand on ceremony this time." A voice suddenly sounded beside me, interrupting my thoughts. Immediately after, I saw the sweet and sour pork ribs in front of me fall into the bowl of Miss Lin who was two seats away. "Fortunately, I had the foresight to buy this magical pair of chopsticks from an uncle who sells ramen by the roadside!"
Looking at a certain unprincipled missy holding a pair of specially made chopsticks that were almost half a meter long, I really … had no words to retort.
"Gulu gulu, gulu gulu gulu."
Jingle pushed her precious new toy: Iron Hoop, rolling past in front of me while searching for her favorite food among the huge tableware. Anveena's head floated around the dining table, helping the owners who couldn't reach the dishes far away. Great Prophet Lin had already picked up the last piece of pork ribs in front of me and was now sneakily placing the vegetables in her bowl in front of me — — Using the specially made chopsticks that were half a meter long, Pandora swiftly finished her food with a frosty expression. At the same time, she used supersonic knifes to hit back at Visca who was jumping around trying to steal the cake. This scene was practically a repertoire of the sisters during their meals.
I say, even though it is very joyous, at least act normally when it's time to eat!
Chatting and laughing, fighting and fooling around, this kind of life is the highest pursuit of our generation. Thus, time passed day after day in this kind of leisurely and joyous daily life. On the third day …
Damn it, it really is one day after another, a total of two days!
Fortunately, this time it wasn't to save the world or anything, it was just that Tawil called us over to take a look at the results of her research.
Sometimes, I really envied Bubble who could push Ack, Toilet Bowl Man, all kinds of princes, Lich King, Agalon, and all kinds of bosses even during working hours. How good would it be if I had that kind of physique? That way, I could take advantage of the time when Tawil was introducing her formulas to me to watch old, new, and all kinds of anime and manga …
Visca's Barrier Star. This space fortress far away from the surface still abided by its duties for hundreds of thousands of years. As a satellite, it gazed at the changing Earth from afar, like time itself, unchanging and silent. However, within this fortress, the huge space was a busy and orderly military city. All kinds of war factories and control core buildings floated in the air, forming the skeleton of this three-dimensional city. The spaceships that passed through it were the nerves and blood of this skeleton. This was the moon battleship's B-2, a resting area for research and high-level apostles. In the entire moon battleship, its security level was second only to that of core Area A. If we were to observe this space from a panoramic perspective, we would realize that a black rectangular building stood out from the surrounding buildings. Not only was it located in a completely empty 'golden area' that was completely out of place, there were almost no spaceships coming or going from it. In fact, it could be said that other than the heavy artillery ships and spherical photon cannons hovering around the rectangular building, no other floating units dared to approach this building.
For the core section of the Empire's base to have such a level of security, its uniqueness was obvious.
What was even more special was that the edges of this floating building were constantly trembling. It was as if it was a holographic projection that was slightly distorted in the air. Occasionally, it would flicker and disappear for a moment.
This did not mean that this building was really a projection. When experienced veterans saw this scene, they would usually pat the shoulder of the new recruit beside them and say, "Boy, look, that is an anti-phase unit, an invincible thing that is always in a state of phase reversal. Back in the day, the fighter I piloted relied on this device to successfully annihilate an entire army …"
Then, the new recruit would say in shock and admiration, "Wow! Two days ago, Officer XX, Officer XX, and Officer XX said the same thing! "
Of course, as for how some bored soldiers of the Empire usually spent their time, it was not within the scope of our current discussion.
This rectangular black building was the second research core of the Empire. Apart from this ordinary code name, it did not have any fancy name. It was as unremarkable as its appearance. However, the things being researched here were very unusual. They were extremely dangerous, to the point that the entire research facility was built inside a Golden-class starship. The anti-phase field that enveloped the entire building was not to prevent external attacks, but to prevent the things inside from escaping.
Here, the research was on the knowledge of the Abyss.
"No matter how many times I come here, I still feel that this coffin-like design is very tearful. Tawil, can't you arrange a better image for your design?"
I walked together with Sandora in the wide and silent hallway of the second research core. There was only a silent female researcher leading the way, and our footsteps created a monotonous sound in the hallway. In my boredom, I focused the topic on Tawil's affinity for coffins.
As long as it was something related to her, not a single thing would be able to escape the image of a coffin. Even such a large research facility like this had to be covered in a coffin. Although it was a slippery lid, but … cough, cough, a coffin was still a coffin!
Tawil paused for a moment, then said in disagreement, "But Jenovine's design style seems to be very popular."
Huh? Schilling's people are also particular about this?
Beside me, Sandora sighed. "That kind of thing went out of fashion more than 1.6 million years ago, alright?"
"But they are indeed very concise and efficient, especially when applied to scientific research." Tawil nodded firmly. He was still unwavering in his affinity for coffins.
"It is my honor for you to come personally." Our conversation was suddenly interrupted by a voice in front of us. I looked in the direction of the voice, and a floating holographic road sign was flashing. It turned out to be the research facility's navigation system. "The third quarantine zone has been opened. You will be staying here for two hours. Please follow the signs."
"Strictly speaking, that thing should have nothing to do with the Abyss, but it records some unsettling things. It is being kept here for safety reasons — please follow me."
Under the guidance of Tawil and the road sign, Sandora and I arrived in front of a huge isolation door. The trapezoid-shaped isolation door had a layer of honeycomb-like energy barrier floating on its surface. As we got closer, the barrier gradually weakened and completely disappeared the moment we arrived in front of the door. Then, the heavy door suddenly turned transparent.
After entering the door, a very wide circular hall appeared before our eyes. Just like the other research facilities, the walls around the hall were filled with all kinds of information terminals and floating information boxes. Busy researchers walked around the hall. The only difference was that the research object in this hall was just a cube that was only a few meters long. In the center of the hall, which had a radius of a hundred meters, the floating and spinning cube was as inconspicuous as the Jingle on the head of a certain leader.
That was the equipment that I had dropped in the world of Fate. I had tossed it to Tawil to appraise, and he had finally seen some of its attributes.
"This cube is a commonly used device to automatically store information in unmanned buildings." Tawil led us to a spot ten meters in front of the floating cube. From here, I could see that there was a layer of almost transparent energy barrier that isolated the floating object on the other side like a pipe. Tawil gestured for the researchers around to adjust the locking parameters of the analysis device. Immediately, the originally complete floating cube disintegrated in front of us, revealing its true core: a crystal ball that shone with red light.
The broken pieces of the cube floated around the crystal ball and slowly rotated.
"Most of its information has been encrypted, and it will take some time to decipher it. But even the parts that are not encrypted are enough to provide us with a lot of information. According to the information recorded by the cube, I have discovered a lot of key technologies that can perfect our current energy furnace. I have been researching some of them before, but there are many more technologies that even I have not imagined."
"Based on your analysis, this thing is some kind of experimental next generation energy furnace from the heyday of the Empire, right?"
"In theory, yes." Tawil pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, which were more decorative than practical. "But that is only a small part of the things that I wish for you to see. Most of them are records that have nothing to do with technology."
"There is an inconspicuous footnote that mentions a grand plan that the entire Empire is working on at the same time. The plan has no name, only an abbreviation of X. Its goal seems to be to gather ninety percent of the power of the Shiring Apostles to deduce an unprecedented way of using energy. It is a technology that far surpasses psionic energy, and even directly harvests and uses Void Energy. That energy celestial body is an indirect product of this plan. Your Majesty Sandora, there are no related records in my memory core. Do you have any understanding of this?"
Sandora's eyebrows were tightly furrowed. Although I had no idea what Tawil was talking about, from the expression on Sandora's face, I vaguely sensed that I seemed to have brought back an unprecedented secret.
"X, it really only has such a code." Sandora bent her index finger and touched her chin. "At that time, in order to attack the Endless Void, the last territory that the Empire could not control, ninety percent of the Shiring Apostles in the entire Empire participated in the relevant calculations. But … I don't know what the final product of this plan was."
The problem was that there was such a living finished product in front of us: the Crimson Moon Core.
