Chapter 42 Chapter 42 The entire star region knows what Admiral Jing is like...
The kitten said nothing, and Lu Zhiluan and the system almost started arguing.
Lu Zhiluan: "Are there really no problems with the test results?"
System: "Absolutely no problem. I swear on my integrity that the kitten is very healthy and even a little fat. Don't feed it so many snacks."
Lu Zhiluan said: "Then why is it cheerful at one moment and depressed at the next? You can see that it is completely different from the other cats."
The system couldn't explain this problem, so it decided to report it to the higher-ups. "Wait a minute, I'll report it to the main divine space and ask what's going on."
Lu Zhiluan reluctantly accepted this approach.
I looked worriedly at the little cat that had curled up into a fat sesame ball.
Is it dangerous if we are always divided like this?
His body suddenly floated into the air, and then fell into a warm embrace. His nostrils were filled with a pleasant faint fragrance mixed with a hint of herbal medicine. Jing Miao knew who it was without opening his eyes. He moved his body slightly and found the most comfortable position.
The emo cat became a small pendant around Lu Zhiluan again. It was indifferent to the puppies and birds in the store. Gou Facai was depressed for two days because of this. Lu Zhiluan used two bags of snacks to coax it into good mood.
This morning, Lu Zhiluan went downstairs to open the shop as usual.
A silver-black star shuttle descended from the sky and stopped at the door. Zhuo Lan, dressed in uniform, hurriedly got off.
Lu Zhiluan was startled; he didn't expect him to come so quickly.
Zhuo Lan looked around as soon as he came in, "Doctor Lu, where is your lovely, innocent, carefree little Coal Ball?"
Although he didn't know why Commander Zhuo suddenly added so many prefixes, Lu Zhiluan vaguely heard a hint of gnashing of teeth in his tone.
He turned around and carried a cat bed to the counter. "Here."
The kitten in the cat's nest was awakened by the noise. It opened its eyes impatiently, and saw a dead face as pale as paper and full of resentment.
Zhuo Lan looked resentful, as if a wronged ghost was seeking revenge, and he spoke in a low voice: "Are you awake?"
I've been looking for you outside and I'm so confused. How can you sleep at your age?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Zhuo Lan stared at the kitten, then moved towards it with evil courage. He slowly stretched out his evil claws, and while the kitten was off guard, he angrily rubbed the kitten's head.
The angry little cat was attacked right after waking up: "..."
He was stunned for a moment, then reacted and pushed it back without any hesitation.
With several circles of red blood-strap cat paw brand wrapped around his wrist, Zhuo Lan dragged his exhausted body onto the sofa. The heavy stone that had been weighing on his heart for many days finally fell away.
I'm glad you're not dead.
Lu Zhiluan brought a cup of hot tea and placed it on the tea table.
Zhuo Lan was weak and his voice was muffled in the sofa. "Thank you, Dr. Lu. Do you have any extra strong coffee? Please give me a pot."
Lu Zhiluan heard the deep sleepiness in his voice and got up to make him coffee. The coffee beans were on the second floor.
When Lu Zhiluan went upstairs, Jing Miao, who was sitting in the corner of the sofa, stretched out his claws to poke the person pretending to be dead. Zhuo Lan wiped his face heavily and sat up. Although his face looked tired, his eyes were exceptionally clear.
He took off the laptop from his wrist and placed it in front of the kitten.
"Where have you been these days? The traitor has been found. You will never guess who it is. It is Jiang Xi. He was the one who leaked our return route."
Jing Miao typed on the computer for him to see.
Zhuo Lan frowned: "Back to the body? Then what's going on with you now?"
The typing ability of the kitten's paws was limited, so Jing Miao could only try his best to condense the information he had heard during that time into a few words.
Zhuo Lan carefully identified: "Underground base, experiment, body rejection..."
Thinking of the underground base that was blown up before, Zhuo Lan almost jumped up, and said regretfully: "Damn, that was just a little bit, we have already found that underground base, but unfortunately we were a step too late, the people inside all ran away, and the base was also blown up. It was a small planet."
"Your accident this time was definitely caused by someone from within the alliance. Such a careful and alert plot doesn't seem like a spur-of-the-moment idea. It must have been laid for at least several years."
"The base was just blown up, and now the news of your disappearance can no longer be concealed. Now the entire Star Network is talking about you. There are also people who are taking advantage of the situation. Those people are too good at digging. It won't be long before your photo will be circulated on the Internet. Be prepared."
A faint light flashed in Jing Miao's eyes.
There were footsteps coming from upstairs. It was Lu Zhiluan coming down. Zhuo Lan paused and spoke faster.
He whispered, "For the sake of your safety and Dr. Lu's, you should stay with me for the time being. There must be a lot of people watching my every move. If they investigate carefully, they will find that I often come to the petting zoo to see cats, and then they may implicate Dr. Lu."
Jing Miao was also thinking about this problem. The reason why he was reluctant to reveal his identity was because he was worried that Lu Zhiluan would be dragged into it.
It was not explained in the early stage because people suspected Lu Zhiluan was an accomplice of that group.
Later, he learned that Lu Zhiluan had special abilities and could understand some animals' language, so he wondered whether he should make it clear in his identity as a cat.
In his dreams and in his daily life, he had countless opportunities to speak. Jing Miao hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he said nothing.
When nothing was settled, he didn't want to disrupt this person's peaceful life.
Lu Zhiluan came down with a large cup of strong coffee and found that the person and the cat on the sofa were looking at him.
I couldn't help but touch my face and wondered, "Is there something on my face?"
"No, no."
Zhuo Lan took the coffee from him, blew on it a few times, and without caring about burning his lips, he gulped down a big mouthful. Then he sighed with satisfaction, "Ah, I'm alive. Thank you, Dr. Lu, for saving my life with your coffee."
Lu Zhiluan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He noticed the dark circles under his eyes and said, "You should get some sleep."
Zhuo Lan sipped his coffee and waved his hands, complaining to him, "I dare not fall asleep. I have so many things to do. I can only relax for a while here. If I go back to Canaan, I will be surrounded by a group of old men and nag me. I can't escape."
Lu Zhiluan learned about Jing Miao's disappearance from the Star Network and guessed that Zhuo Lan must be worried about it.
But there is one thing I can’t understand. The Admiral Jing I saw in my dream didn’t seem to notice that I was missing?
Otherwise why do they act as if nothing has happened?
Logically speaking, if you can dream normally, it means that you are currently safe.
Lu Zhiluan lowered his eyelashes and thought that next time he dreamed of Jing Miao, he would definitely ask him indirectly.
Dreaming about Admiral Jing or something like that sounds like something that many fans and admirers would do.
If he told Zhuo Lan that he had seen Admiral Jing in his dreams every day recently, and inferred from this that Admiral Jing was not in danger of death, he would be considered a brainless fan...
"Dr. Deer, Dr. Deer."
Zhuo Lan's voice brought Lu Zhiluan back from his distraction.
Lu Zhiluan looked up at him and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you just said."
Zhuo Lan: "Although it may be a bit presumptuous, could you please let Meiqiu come back with me to Ganan and stay for a while? I need his help with something."
A hint of doubt appeared in Lu Zhiluan's eyes. He looked at the silent little cat and then at Zhuo Lan, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
"You mean the briquettes?"
Zhuo Lan touched his neck awkwardly, as if he was a little embarrassed: "Yes..."
Since he is not allowed to speak out, where can he find an excuse?
Zhuo Lan glanced at the kitten in silence.
Now it was Lu Zhiluan's turn to remain silent.
Zhuo Lan: "It won't take long, probably only ten days or half a month. You don't have to worry about other things, they have been arranged, and you will definitely not be treated unfairly."
Lu Zhiluan: "Is your matter important?"
Zhuo Lan said it was important, but seeing Lu Zhiluan's doubtful expression, he thought carefully about what a cat could do, and changed his mind and said it was not very important.
"If you're really worried, we can communicate every day." Zhuo Lan tried to make a last-ditch effort.
Lu Zhiluan realized that Zhuo Lan had misunderstood his silence and explained, "I have nothing to worry about. If Coal Ball can help, then of course it's no problem."
Zhuo Lan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's great."
Lu Zhiluan packed the kitten's toys and handed them to Zhuo Lan. Zhuo Lan, carrying his bag, held the kitten's paw with one hand and waved at Lu Zhiluan, "Okay, say goodbye to Doctor Lu."
Jing Miao: “…”
Watching Xingsuo leave, Lu Zhiluan slowly withdrew his gaze and turned back to the store, feeling empty in his heart.
After feeding the animals in the store, he returned to the counter.
The chat group in the old city was extremely lively. Lu Zhiluan clicked in and found that everyone was discussing General Jing.
[No wonder he was absent from this year's celebration. Turns out something happened. Could it be the work of a star thief? Oh my god, that star thief.]
[I feel that the pirate gangs were rampant in the past. Since Admiral Jing took over as the commander of the alliance, he has been catching pirates for three consecutive years. He caught a lot of pirates at a time, and even wiped out the four major pirates in one go. The pirates were so angry that they kept their tails between their legs when they saw the patrol ships of the guard team and dared not show their heads.]
[They must be holding a grudge and taking this opportunity to take revenge.]
[Does anyone think the other three stars are also suspicious? I remember there was a rumor early on that the Admiral and the Star Lord of Tianchen Star seemed to have always had conflicts. Could it be that he did it?]
[What you said makes sense. When I think about it, it's not easy for an admiral. Being in a high position means that a tall tree attracts the wind. I used to wonder why he didn't want to publish his photos on StarNet, but now I understand that this is a form of protection.]
[I have some bad news for you. The protection is gone. Someone just released the photo of the admiral.]
【……】
【……】
[But, the admiral is so handsome aaaaaaaaaaaa]
[Yeah, I think so too...]
【With this face, you will succeed in everything you do. 】
When Lu Zhiluan read this, he immediately went to StarNet and saw photos of the man, appearing in various conferences.
The internet was in an uproar.
On the Star Shuttle, Zhuo Lan was also admiring the photos posted online. Various messages popped up on his computer, but he didn't even look at them. He turned around and shared with the little black cat next to him, "Do these people have selfish motives? I'm clearly in the photo, so why did they mosaic me?"
Jing Miao kept a cold face and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Zhuo Lan continued, "Do you think Dr. Lu saw it, too?"
The kitten's ears moved slightly.
Zhuo Lan: "But you have the same ugly face in every photo. Will Dr. Lu be scared when he sees it?"
Jing Miao lowered his eyes and said nothing.
The man was already frightened and didn't dare to look at the photo for even a second.
I wasn't afraid of him in my dreams. I probably thought he was imaginary, which was why I felt so fearless.
