Chapter 29

When the work manual appeared in the bedroom, Ayan was already awake.

He went to bed early and woke up earlier than yesterday, but he was quiet and didn't say a word. He carefully put away the communicator that the breeder had placed on the bedside table and fumbled to turn it off.

The keeper will be unhappy if he is woken up.

A Yan didn't want what happened yesterday morning to happen again. Although the cold breeder with a pair of light golden eyes didn't hurt him, he still felt a little scared.

Moreover, he also hopes that the breeder can have a good sleep.

Because the trainee breeders who had left before had resigned from the base on the grounds of getting up too early.

A Yan didn't want Su Ci to leave, so he had to protect the breeder's sleep.

After putting the communicator back in its place, A Yan stayed quietly in the bed again, resting his head on the same pillow with the breeder, enjoying the intimate time that belonged only to the two of them.

He liked this experience. The scent of the breeder enveloped him, making him feel safe and happy.

Just as he opened his eyes curiously and silently counted the breeder's long and thick eyelashes, the fluctuations in the air caught his attention.

He looked up and saw a book appear out of thin air.

That was the breeder's book. A Yan remembered that the breeder had used it to block the rain yesterday.

When the keeper took it out to read at night, the book also floated in the air and turned the pages automatically. Could it be...

A Yan looked towards Su Ci, only to find that the young man's eyes were tightly closed, his breathing was even, and he was sleeping soundly, not seeming to wake up at all.

Not a breeder...

So what's up with this book?

A Yan frowned and looked at the work manual again, but found that there was a strange fluctuation coming from the book, which made him feel somewhat familiar.

Then, the book opened automatically, and a line of fluorescent small words appeared on the white pages.

Before A Yan could see clearly what was written on the line, a light red light suddenly emanated from the book, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.

What's this?

After getting used to the light, A Yan secretly opened his eyes, only to see that the light red fluorescence had fallen on the breeder, enveloping him.

On Prison Star, red is often associated with red fog.

A Yan looked at the red light covering the breeder and felt a wave of palpitations.

The breeder is in danger!

Realizing this, A Yan hurriedly turned over and looked at Su Ci anxiously. Sure enough, he saw that the young man, who had been sleeping peacefully with a calm expression, had frowned at some point.

What does this book want to do to breeders?

A Yan knew that if he woke the breeder up, he would be unhappy, but after hesitating, he reached out and pushed the breeder's shoulder.

However, Su Ci ignored him.

He still had his eyes closed, but under A Yan's encouragement, his brows furrowed even more tightly, and he seemed to be very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Ah Yan glared at the book angrily.

The light red light was not directed at him, but the longer he looked at it, the more he felt that something in his heart was about to burst out.

Some vague images flashed through my mind.

monster……

Lots and lots of monsters...

In the child's dark red eyes, the red bloodshot that had originally dissipated a lot reappeared, and the aura around him also rose, and his hair floated slightly.

The expression on A Yan's face was sharp and sharp amidst his anger.

kill!

Kill them all!

He opened his mouth with great effort, and this tiny movement seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

The red bloodshot in the child's eyes spread to the corners of his eyes, as if connected to the protruding red veins on his forehead, revealing a strange and hideous look.

The work manual seemed to have sensed something. The red light on the book not only did not weaken, but became even stronger and more dazzling.

The feeders need to get up at 5 o'clock early.

These ten characters actually left the pages one after another and flew towards A Yan, as if they wanted to attack the child, but they turned abruptly in mid-air and flew towards Su Ci again.

A Yan looked at this scene, and his eyes were bloodshot, almost dripping with blood.

Finally, with his efforts, a syllable began to form in his slightly opened mouth, and just as he was about to make a sound...

A slender hand was raised.

The next moment, those words that were sent down with terrifying power and turned into afterimages suddenly stopped in mid-air. From extreme movement to extreme stillness, it only took a breath of time.

A Yan was stunned, the syllable that was about to form was stuck in his throat. He blinked in confusion and looked at the breeder with some bewilderment.

The breeder still had his eyes closed, but his brows revealed an extreme irritability and coldness. Just one look at him would frighten anyone who was shocked by the ferocious aura emanating from him.

Under A Yan's stiff gaze, the young man raised his hand and waved it casually.

It was such a slender hand, as white as jade, and looked as fragile as jade. It felt like if he slapped someone else, he would be the one who would be hurt.

However, with his gentle wave, the light red words that were suspended in the air retreated back in the blink of an eye!

"call out!"

The words were knocked back into the book, sending the workbook flying.

With a dull thud, the work manual smashed into the metal wall, embedding itself deeply without even a bulge.

The red light emitted from the work manual flickered slightly a few times, as if trying to struggle out of the wall, but in the end, the light was exhausted and quickly dimmed.

The book just stayed inside the wall, completely silent.

All the strange phenomena in the bedroom subsided.

“Gurgle——”

A Yan, who was sitting next to them and witnessed the whole process, looked at the book, then at the breeder, and couldn't help swallowing.

Su Ci ignored his reaction and didn't even open his eyelids during the whole process.

After knocking the book away, he withdrew his hand, and the irritable expression on his face gradually subsided, and finally he regained his serenity. He even rubbed the pillow with the side of his face to find a more comfortable position, and then fell into a deeper sleep.

The young man, sleeping with his eyes closed, looked gentle and harmless, with no sign of the danger he had just revealed.

Ah Yan looked at the book on the wall again, and for some reason, he suddenly had another realization in his mind - perhaps, the danger he had just sensed that made his heart palpitate was not from this strange book, but...

A Yan glanced at the breeder and couldn't help scratching his head.

At this moment, the red veins that appeared in the corners of his eyes had faded away, and the blood red in his eyes and the rising aura had also disappeared.

He once again became an ordinary, thin, weak, and even malnourished child.

A Yan touched the corner of his eyes. In fact, he didn't know what would happen if he continued. He just instinctively knew that doing so could protect the breeder.

Now that he's calmed down...

A wave of drowsiness washed over him. A Yan rubbed his eyes with his little fists and yawned silently.

He couldn't help but look at the sleeping breeder. Seeing him sleeping so soundly, he also wanted to sleep... As long as he behaved and didn't make any noise, he shouldn't be thrown out like that book, right?

The breeder didn't abandon him yesterday morning...

Finally, A Yan was so sleepy that he gave up thinking, carefully moved closer, and lay down next to Su Ci again.

He felt his eyelids getting heavy, and just as he closed his eyes, he felt a pair of hands hugging him, and then his body was pressed into a warm and familiar embrace.

A Yan barely opened his eyes, but could only see the undulating patterns on the young man's soft pajamas.

Then, he could no longer hold on, and with the constant attacks of sleepiness, he leaned his little head on the keeper's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Complete peace was restored in the room.

As time passed, the light outside gradually became brighter. When A Yan woke up again, the breeder who was sleeping beside him was already sitting by the bed.

The young man was staring at the book on the wall.

Thinking of what happened just before he fell asleep, A Yan suddenly lost all sleepiness and sat up in a hurry.

Su Ci noticed his movement and turned to look at him. He saw that the child's face was a little pale and there seemed to be more red bloodshot in his eyes. He couldn't help but frown.

He reached out and ruffled the child's soft, fluffy hair, and asked softly, "What did you do?"

A Yan, who was happy because he was being patted on the head, paused when he heard the words, and a big question mark appeared above his little head.

I didn’t do anything…

Of course, it can also be said that there was no time to do anything.

But he couldn't express himself clearly, and Su Ci had already withdrawn his hand, looking at the work manual embedded in the wall, pretending to be dead, then stood up and walked over.

A Yan: “…”

Su Ci stared at the book on the wall. Of course he remembered this work manual, but... why did it end up here?

As soon as he thought about it, the work manual flew out from the wall and hovered in front of Su Ci.

The cover of the manual was as smooth as new, as if it had just come out of the printing factory. The bumps left by yesterday's use to block the rain had disappeared, and even the drop of blood that Su Ci had dripped on the cover was gone.

Judging from its appearance alone, it was even newer than when Su Ci first got it. However, the binding of the pages was slightly loose, as if it had been broken apart by a heavy blow.

I turned to the first few pages of Su Ci.

The text above is no different from what you have seen before.

However, when he turned to the first page of the diet section based on his intuition, he saw that half of the first line was missing, leaving only the small words "Prepare breakfast for the cubs".

After looking through it for a while, Su Ci roughly understood what was going on, and also knew where the small piece of spider silk that he could not find yesterday had gone.

The book was stained with a drop of his blood, and absorbed pollutants from the rain and the piece of spider silk, eventually undergoing interesting changes.

A prototype of a book spirit that masters the power of rules.

Consciousness has not yet been fully born, but it already has weak instinctive reactions. Of course, if it wants to grow into a true spirit, it still has a long way to go.

Although it was a bit unexpected, it didn't seem surprising.

After all, this work manual absorbed a drop of his divine blood, and thus gave birth to spiritual intelligence, which can be regarded as its own opportunity.

that is……

The characteristics of this book spirit are quite special.

Su Ci touched his chin, but didn't take it too seriously. Instead, he closed the book again and put it back into the wall.

The work manual, which had been pretending to be dead, began to emit a faint red light again the moment it was put back on the wall, and the pages began to tremble slightly.

However, no matter how hard it struggled, it could not get out of the wall, and could only emit emotional fluctuations of anger mixed with fear in vain.

In Su Ci's impression, book spirits are generally gentle, steady, kind and friendly. This is the first time he has seen such a violent and aggressive book spirit, even if it is just a prototype.

Thinking that it was born in the midst of blood and rain, Su Ci did not find it strange.

In comparison, it is extremely rare for someone like A Yan to be able to maintain his original heart and develop such a well-behaved and lovely personality even after being surrounded by a red fog mixed with various negative emotions for a long time.

Although the spirit that masters the power of rules is quite special, he is still raising A Yan and does not have much spare energy to cultivate a restless book spirit.

Su Ci thought so and lightly touched the cover of the book with his fingertips. The struggling work manual trembled violently for a moment, and then calmed down.

Whether it can finally take shape depends on the book's own luck. Of course, if it unfortunately grows into an evil spirit in the end, Su Ci will have to take some measures against it.

After all, the earth can no longer withstand the turmoil. What he needs now is help to restore the earth as soon as possible, rather than destructive power.

Su Ci turned around and saw A Yan had come to his side, looking at him in confusion.

"Ignore it." Su Ci said to the child seriously, "Your top priority is to take good care of your body and stop wasting energy."

As he said that, he rubbed the top of the little guy's head again.

I originally thought that A Yan was just a weak spirit, but now it seems that in addition to his excellent talent, he is not completely powerless to protect himself.

Su Ci couldn't help but look forward to A Yan's growth. If nothing unexpected happened, A Yan would definitely become a great help to him in the future.

As for what kind of power A Yan possesses... Su Ci did not deliberately explore it. This is the secret of every spirit, and A Yan does not need to tell him everything.

A Yan: “…”

So, did the keeper really think that he was the one who knocked the book into the wall?

A Yan couldn't argue with words.

Of course, he could explain it in writing, however... looking at the breeder's confident and relieved expression, he opened his mouth, but finally remained silent.

Hmm! Whatever the breeder says is true. He...he will work hard in the future to acquire the strength to match! The child looked at the book on the wall, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Su Ci could feel that the child suddenly became full of fighting spirit, and he couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Hadn't he just meant for him to rest? If he continued to use his abilities recklessly, when would his small body, riddled with hidden injuries, finally be able to recover?

But... with him watching, this little guy doesn't have many opportunities to do anything wrong.

Su Ci looked at A Yan, felt that the problem was not serious, and did not want to stop him anymore.

Because, compared to the dead silence and emptiness when they first met, he felt that the child was still so lively and more pleasing to the eye.
