Chapter 80: The Grand Finale

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Qing slowly opened her eyes. She found herself lying on a soft bed, surrounded by a familiar and cozy room.

Sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, adding a touch of warmth to the quiet space.

She sat up, rubbed her throbbing temples, and tried to recall everything that had happened.

The images that surfaced in my mind were still as clear as ever: the collapse of the portal, the fall into darkness, and that distant call... It all seemed like it happened yesterday.

She looked around, and the familiar furniture and decorations made her feel at ease.

She gently got out of bed, walked to the window, and opened it. Fresh air rushed in, carrying a faint floral scent. She took a deep breath and felt much refreshed.

She looked out the window and saw that the streets were bustling with activity, with crowds of people seemingly celebrating something.

Colorful balloons floated in the air, cheerful music rose and fell, and people's faces were filled with joyful smiles.

The shops on both sides of the street were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the windows displayed all kinds of goods, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Vendors set up stalls along the roadside, their calls echoing throughout the area, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Not far away, a group of children were chasing and playing, their laughter and screams adding to the joyful atmosphere.

Luo Qing stood quietly by the window, watching these warm and joyful scenes, and a strange feeling of emotion welled up in her heart.

She could almost feel the joy and happiness emanating from people's hearts, as if the whole world was infected by this joy.

Luo Qing stretched and lazily lay back on the soft bed. She picked up her phone casually; the screen displayed the novel she hadn't finished reading.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, dappling her body and casting a soft glow on her serene face.

She gently opened the novel, and line after line of text came into view, as if leading her into another wonderful world.

The room was quiet, with only the occasional sound of a phone turning on its screen and the gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze outside the window.

Sunlight danced on Luo Qing's face, her breathing was steady and even, as if the whole world was immersed in this tranquility and beauty.

Just then, a child's voice rang out, "Sister, I want to come out and play too!"

It was Fufu's voice. Maser also called out to come out, and the Blue Spirit Bird, which couldn't speak yet, was chirping.

Luo Qing smiled helplessly. These little guys were in the space bound to her soul, and she brought them out with her.

As soon as she released them, Fufu pounced on her, "Sister, I missed you so much."

Luo Qing affectionately patted Fufu's head and smiled, "Sister missed you too." As she spoke, she gently hugged Fufu in her arms, feeling the familiar warmth and softness.

Maiser also jumped out eagerly, circling around Luo Qing happily, as if celebrating the joy of their reunion.

Bluebirds soared through the air, their clear chirping adding a touch of joy to this heartwarming moment.

Sunlight streamed through the window, bathing Luo Qing and the three little ones in a beautiful scene.

They nestled together, savoring this rare moment of peace and happiness. In this cozy little world, it seemed as if all their worries and troubles had been cast to the winds.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Qi Ru pushed it open and walked in, her face beaming with joy.

"Luo Qing, you're finally awake! We've been waiting for you for so long." She said as she walked to the bedside and carefully looked Luo Qing over.

Luo Qing smiled slightly, sat up, and said gratefully, "Thank you all, I'm sorry to have worried you."

Qi Ru waved her hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite. Only then did Luo Qing notice that three people were sitting on the sofa behind Qi Ru: Mo Ming, Fang Tai, and Mu Qimeng.

The three of them sat together, playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) with great enthusiasm.

Mu Qimeng rested her chin on her hand, her brows furrowed, seemingly contemplating her next move; Fang Tai looked smug, his hand appearing quite strong; Mo Ming watched the two with a smile, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

Luo Qing looked at them strangely, her brows furrowing slightly. "Why are you here with me?"

Fang Tai shrugged, looking innocent. "I don't know either. The four of us came back first, and then Mo Ming and the others contacted me one after another, saying they couldn't reach you either, so they all came over."

Mu Qimeng pointed at Qi Ru, "Didn't you two have a contract? So she'll definitely be at your house. We couldn't contact you, so we had her send us an address."

Luo Qing guessed that it was because she had more contracted pets that she came out a little slower than them.

She secretly rejoiced that she had woken up in time, otherwise she would have missed reuniting with them.

She stood up, walked to the sofa, and watched the three people playing cards, a smile playing on her lips. She sat quietly to the side, observing their game.

Sunlight streamed through the windows, adding a touch of warmth to the cozy and joyful atmosphere.

A feeling of happiness welled up in Luo Qing's heart. She knew that no matter how many difficulties and challenges she faced, as long as she had these friends by her side, she would be able to bravely face everything.

——————————————————

One week later.

The morning sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, dappling Luo Qing's face.

She groggily opened her eyes, rubbed them, and realized that she had to work 8 a.m. today.

She quickly sat up, hurriedly put on her clothes, washed up, grabbed her schoolbag, and rushed out the door.

The campus was already bustling with activity, with students either hurrying to their classrooms or chatting in small groups. Luo Qing walked quickly through the crowd, silently praying that she wouldn't be late.

The moment she stepped into the classroom, she breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, she wasn't late.

She found an empty seat, opened her bag, took out her textbooks and notebooks, and prepared to begin her day's classes.

The classroom gradually quieted down, and the teacher entered to begin today's lesson.

Luo Qing listened attentively, sometimes looking down to take notes of the key points, and sometimes looking up to think about the questions.

After class, Luo Qing rubbed her sore wrists, took out her phone, and prepared to relax her tense nerves.

On the screen, a video title caught her attention: [Shocking! Ocean Survival Game is Actually a Collusion Between the US and Aliens]

She clicked on the video and saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses explaining something to the camera with a serious expression.

The background music is somber and tense, and combined with the middle-aged man's words, it seems to transport the audience into a world full of intrigue and the unknown.

"According to reliable sources, the ocean survival game is a meticulously planned conspiracy by Country M to establish contact with extraterrestrials in order to dominate the Earth..."

She continued watching, and the video detailed how the United States colluded with aliens, how it used ocean survival games to test human reactions and adaptability, and how it collected data through the games to prepare for future invasion plans.

The footage also included evidence, including photos, video clips, and internal documents.

The comments section is filled with calls for the US to pay the price.

"Ring ring ring~" The school bell rang, and Luo Qing put away her phone and prepared for class.

She knew that having committed such a grave crime, this time, the United States was doomed.

She looked up at the window and saw sunlight streaming into every corner of the campus. Students were running happily on the playground, their laughter echoing everywhere.

This contrasts sharply with the conspiracy and tense atmosphere in the video.
