I know that Master Xuan Zang often said this back in the day, but that doesn't mean that my Miss can't use it. At least, ever since I got to know Lin Xue, Lin Xue has never lied when it comes to predicting the future of everyone.
So this time, she succeeded in scaring me again. Of course, she also succeeded in confusing everyone.
She said that she saw a huge trouble approaching. This trouble would turn the lives of the entire family upside down, and the person at the core of the trouble was herself. Oh, it was said that I was also greatly affected. But currently, Eldest Miss Lin had used all sorts of methods but was still unable to accurately see what that trouble was. It could be an incident, it could also be an object. Of course, it could also be a person. But the third possibility was really hard to explain. In any case, everyone in the family agreed that in the entire void, other than Father, there was no one else who could cause the entire First Family to panic. And the other thing we all agreed on was that Father wouldn't be so troublesome as to give us an April Fool's joke …
This kind of unfathomable prophecy made our Miss Lin Xue's heart itch. She was exceptionally worried. This was simply too inconceivable. The incomparably powerful Miss Lin Xue actually had such a dilemma. We all knew that this girl's nerves were very tenacious, to the point where she could smear some glue on it to repair a spaceship. Even someone like her could pull out handfuls of hair. I really didn't dare to imagine what kind of huge wave she and I would encounter in our lives — I'm afraid it would be an E +.
You see, I've digressed again.
But it doesn't matter. Maybe we should relax because this time, Lin Xue's prophecy had a very important detail: She didn't discover anything that would pose a threat to the Empire in the future. In fact, the impending trouble wouldn't cause any substantial harm to anyone in the First Family.
"It's harmless. It doesn't affect the personal safety of any of us. Other than the destructive blow it caused to my daily life, it can be said to be a harmless fellow."
Miss Lin Xue said to me after pulling out a bunch of her hair. Her hair was disheveled like a sadako.
Then, half of the family heartlessly went back to their rooms to sleep.
Early the next morning, the air was fresh and cool. After half a day and an entire night of rain, every inch of this concrete jungle had been washed clean, washing away the complex building blocks built by humans. I brought Little Bubble to the park near our house to breathe in the fresh air. The little brat hadn't gone out for a few days … Fine, it was a few days since I brought her out. She had gone out quite a few times. In these four days, the farthest she had gone was Hawaii. After eating, big sister asked her to get a drink from the fridge, this little brat appeared in front of us carrying an authentic Hawaiian shark.
Because of this, big sister deduced that Little Bubble might wish for someone to bring her out to play. Of course, this duty-bound mission would definitely fall on me, who was leaking my father's temper.
I also brought along Ji Shanshan, this gold-medal nanny who was basically bound to Little Bubble's equipment. Actually, I didn't really like bringing along such a noisy brat. She had an explosive temper, a foul mouth, and would explode at the slightest matter. Furthermore, she was extremely arrogant when facing the male master of the house. From all aspects, this brat didn't recognize her proper position as a nanny. However, I had no choice but to bring her along because I really needed the various little toys in the King's Treasury and her magical ability to calm Little Bubble down within five seconds …
Of course, the most important reason was that Little Bubble firmly believed that Ji Shanshan was her most important friend (playmate). She hoped that Ji Shanshan would receive the same care from her father as she did. For example, when she went out to play, she would receive the same amount of lollipops as her.
What a good child.
"But this king doesn't like peppermint." Gill bit on the lollipop that only Little Bubble's companion creature could enjoy and said gloomily, "Also, you have to correct your attitude. This king followed you out to take care of the little princess. You can't have any improper thoughts, do you understand?"
I hugged Little Bubble and sat on a stone bench in the park's pavilion. I glanced at Ji Shanshan when I heard that. I really didn't know who would have improper thoughts about such a flat person. Other than the blue and white stripes and her current children's clothing, was there anything cute about her?
Also, I forcefully picked the blue and white stripes for her. Otherwise, the remaining cuteness would be gone.
When I pulled Little Bubble and brought Ji Shanshan over, I felt a bit of pressure. Because we were leading a cute loli and young girl duo, the three of us received a lot of attention from passersby. Every time we passed by someone, there would be people commenting. Some would point at Little Bubble and say that this girl is really cute. Some would point at Ji Shanshan and say that the little foreign girl is also pretty. The rest would point at me and say, "Look at the youngest child's father, he looks so young …"
Although they weren't wrong in theory, I felt very unhappy when I heard it. Also, Ji Shanshan, the person who offended her superior, laughed the whole way. I was wondering if I should dye my hair yellow in two days and drag her around the streets so that the neighbors would think that Gill's father had returned from Europe to see her …
Ji Shanshan was different from the other people in her family who couldn't go out. Because she looked like a normal person, she could go out. Also, because she had to take care of the child, she had to show her face frequently. Buying snacks, toys, glass beads, or bringing Little Bubble home required an identity. Her current identity was the daughter of a business partner of the Chen family's eldest sister who came to China to live in China. She was fourteen years old … This identity made Ji Shanshan grind her teeth for a long time, to the point that her gums were about to bleed.
There were many flowers and plants around the pavilion, and there were still water droplets left behind by a night of wind and rain. Little Bubble was squatting outside the pavilion and talking to the sparkling water droplets. At this moment, a dejected uncle wearing sunglasses suddenly appeared in the distance.
I was instantly delighted. I felt that today was a good start. How could I not be happy? Early in the morning, I saw Sicarro come over dejectedly. I instantly felt that my entire life had brightened up.
"Heh, you went out to do your old job so early in the morning?"
I purposely didn't make a sound and even concealed the presence of my two followers. After this black sunglasses man walked over, I suddenly greeted him loudly. Sicarro was instantly shocked. Half of his sunglasses slid down, and he stared at me in bewilderment. "Er … Boss? Why are you here? "
"I came out to let the child go … Er, no, I brought Little Bubble out to bask in the sun."
I greeted Sicarro brightly. Although he usually caused a lot of trouble for me, no matter what, I had always appeared in an approachable manner. I couldn't appear too distant, right? Of course, the main reason was that I noticed that Sicarro's precious black backpack wasn't on him today.
"Speaking of which, what happened to you? Why are you so dejected?" I asked curiously.
Sicarro was an officer of the Imperial Army after all, so he immediately reported the situation. "It's like this, Boss. This morning, I went to the moat … to do some business. Then, I met someone who wanted to commit suicide. According to your instructions of 'I can't leave a person in danger to die' and 'I can't disturb the order of ordinary civilization', I went into the water to save him. I also followed the method of Earthlings, which was to swim down. When I got ashore, I found that my stall had been taken away …"
I decided on the spot to send a silk banner to the city's Town Security when I returned.
"Then, what's with the suicide?" I asked out of curiosity.
"I talked to him for a while," Sicarro replied. "I heard that this was the second time he wanted to commit suicide. Yesterday evening, when it was raining heavily, he planned to jump into the moat. In the end, before he could jump, he saw a ghost dressed in white with a blue halo on its head floating along the river. That day was the Ghost Festival of the Earthlings, so he was frightened and gave up on the idea of committing suicide. However, this morning, he remembered that he accidentally threw out the beads left behind by his mother to fight the ghost when he saw the ghost yesterday, so he couldn't take it anymore and decided to jump again …"
I was speechless.
Did you guys think of something? Anyway, I thought of Shallow Shallow! So, this story is divided into two parts, just like a TV series?
I searched my body and found the string of beads that Shallow Shallow had given me yesterday. I passed it to Sicarro emotionally. "Go back and look for that person. It shouldn't be difficult for you. Return it to him. You can't say that you found it for him by observing the sky and drawing lots. This is what Shallow Shallow got."
"Don't worry. I've always done business with genuine goods and never deceive people. When I go back, I'll say that this was fished out from the bottom of the river."
Sicarro grabbed the beads and left. I thought for a long time on the spot. I suddenly felt that the guy who jumped into the river might faint again if he heard that the beads he used to fight the ghost had sunk to the bottom of the river …
At this moment, an alarm suddenly sounded in the spiritual connection.
Immediately after, it was my elder sister's urgent voice. "Ah Jun, come back. Blue is injured."
I asked Ji Shanshan to quickly bring Little Bubble home while I hurriedly teleported to the City of Shadows because my elder sister had mentioned that Blue had been transferred to the medical center.
In the spacious ward specially prepared for carbon-based lifeforms, the fox girl whose wounds had already been treated was lying quietly in the medical cabin. The medical cabin's entrance was open. It was obvious that the first stage of the recovery treatment hadn't started yet. Besides her, my elder sister and Hachi Yunzi were also in the ward. There was also an orange cat who was rolling around on the ground.
"How is it?"
I hurried to the medical cabin and found that the fox girl was playing with her phone. The pile of tails covered the entire medical cabin like a bed. At first glance, I thought that Blue had brought her own bedding. "Oh, it doesn't look that serious."
As soon as I said that, the fox girl pitifully turned her body and stuck out her tail from under her body. A large patch of the tail's fur was burnt. I resisted the urge to sprinkle cumin powder on it. Blue showed me her tail and quickly retracted it. There were tears at the corners of her eyes. "Actually, it's quite serious."
This fox treasured her tail the most. When it was cold, she could use it as a blanket. When it was hot, she could spin it around and use it as an electric fan. She could also use it as a nest for the orange cat. She could also use it to mop the floor and wipe the walls. When she was short of money, she could pluck some of her fur off to weave a scarf and sell it for money. Basically, with a pile of tails, she wouldn't have to worry about basic necessities.
"Fox, were you secretly barbecuing in the house?"
I asked as I pinched Blue's fluffy ears.
"I am a fox spirit, not a fox," Blue muttered. "I met a ghost ship."
"Ghost ship?" I immediately lifted my head and looked at Purple. "Is it the same kind of ghost ship that you met?"
"It should be," Ba Yunzi nodded. The usually frivolous and unreliable Zi Mei now had a serious look on her face. "Now I think it might be a fleet bigger than we expected. The Specter Ships that appeared several times in a row were just a small part of this fleet that accidentally entered the material world. The ghost ship that Blue encountered this time was different from the one that I encountered. That ship had weapons. She was accidentally wounded. "
"This situation is serious." I frowned. "It could even attack …"
"Uh, it's a counterattack." Purple covered her mouth with her fan. She looked embarrassed. "Blue will mess up when she's nervous. She attacked first."
"As soon as I entered the portal, I saw a spaceship that was bigger than Monster Mountain charging at me from the side." Rhododendron Spp.'s ears twitched. She explained in a panic, "Then, I got nervous."
"I'm curious why you entered the portal." I glanced at Fox. "You don't have a mission today, right?"
Purple, who was standing by the side, looked up at the sky. With a swoosh, she opened the portal and disappeared.
As expected, the unlucky Fox was forced to take over by his heartless master.
Hachi Yunzi was supposed to be on duty at the dimensional hub today, but she had been sleeping for two months. So, when she had to be on duty, the poor Blue would take over for her. Today was no exception. At around seven in the morning, the dimensional hub sent out an alarm. It said that there was an anomaly in the space tunnel. After an emergency reset of the traffic in the corresponding tunnel, Blue and a group of engineers went to fix the problem. Not long after they entered the tunnel, they encountered a ghost ship that barged in.
According to the people at the scene, Blue's fur was standing on end. She looked like a hedgehog because the biggest ghost ship was less than a meter away from her.
What Blue did next could basically be regarded as a negative example in the military academy. She rushed up to the deck of the ghost ship and scratched it with her claws. Then, her tail was BBQ'd.
"This is the first time we have seen a living ghost ship." The elder sister lowered her head and stroked Fox's ears. "Obviously, there is someone controlling it."
"Did the ghost ship run away?"
"Yes, they ran away." Rhododendron Spp. curled her lips. "They suddenly left the physical plane after hurting my tail. They looked really panicked."
The elder sister took over the conversation. "But before they escaped, the Space Administration had placed tracking probes in the corresponding space tunnel. Those probes are still sending back the target signal, which means we have caught the ghost fleet's tail. Sandora is handling this matter in the command center. I believe it won't be long before she locates the coordinates of the ghost fleet's main force. "
I talked to the elder sister about the ghost ships and learned that this was actually the seventh incident. Ever since Zi and Hades encountered the ghost ships twice, there have been several intrusions by unidentified flying objects in the teleportation network of the macroworld. However, the scale of the previous intrusions was very small. They did not even come into contact with the space tunnel. As soon as the warning system detected the ghost ships, they suddenly sank into the depths of the void. The real threat was caused by Rhododendron Spp.. This was the first time since the first two ghost ship incidents.
Now, the ghost ship incident had attracted the attention of the command center and the Space Administration. Half an hour ago, Sandora had included these strange floating objects into the scope of the military alert. In other words, when the ghost ships entered the teleportation network of the macroworld, they would be treated as intruding military targets and destroyed. However, to ensure that the root cause of the incident could be found as soon as possible, it was not enough to just destroy the scattered ghost ships. Now, everyone had a common understanding: all the ghost ships could be from a very large fleet, and this fleet was still hidden in the depths of the void.
I guessed that this huge fleet was gradually approaching the Empire's territory. Although the main part of the fleet was still too far away to be observed directly by the void scan, the small spaceships on the periphery had already begun to affect the normal operation of the macroworld system.
Just as I thought about this, I suddenly heard a very conflicted voice from below. "That … I'm very troubled."
Hearing that, I lowered my head and saw that Lan was looking at me and my sister awkwardly. She had already used her tail to wrap her body into a big ball, leaving only her head outside. My sister and I were subconsciously pinching her ears. I was wondering why it felt so fluffy in our hands … I didn't know what to say.
Lan had always been a doormat at home. Even though no one really bullied her, and even though she didn't belong to the doormat camp, she had always been wronged. Not only were her ears constantly pinched by our family, but even her most precious tail suffered every day. This was because this fox liked to curl up in a ball and sleep in front of the door. This kind of animal instinct made eight out of ten times her family would use her as a shoe pad. Whenever they entered the house, they would rub their feet on her tail. Now, Lan had developed a very impressive skill, and that was to accurately determine who had just walked in the house just by looking at the footprints on the ground.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at the tail that was suffering from BBQ. I couldn't help but want to sprinkle cumin powder on it …
