Chapter 177: Snitch
The complementary warm yellow and pink lights of the bathing beach melted into the mist. Shi Cunjin took a deep breath, and the mist that filled his body quickly dissipated.
He smoothed his long silver hair down to his chest and used his palm as a ruler to calculate the length of the hair piece by piece. Soon his brows furrowed.
"Anushka went to support the Wasp Legion. How long did it take for her to go back and forth? Is there no network signal in the entire castle? Were you exposed to Anushka's search?" Shi Cunjin asked.
He leaned over into the water and swam towards the bathing tool cart parked by the pool. His wet silver hair hanging behind him re-immersed in the water, gently creating a soft "I"-shaped ripple. His silver hair floated in the warm water, illuminated by the warm-toned lights of the bathing place, giving off a magical pearlescent silver sheen.
"In recent months, A567's army has opened up the black hole channel in the entire Far East region as a wartime expressway. The influx of military valves and a large number of North Pole Star Technology families has helped A567's army armor upgrade its military industry level. A567's Ranger Vanguard is equipped with strong and durable equipment, and every support is to withstand the gravitational impact of the black hole. This time he set out from a branch of the Tenth Army, and the round trip only took three hours."
"If converted to the previous peacetime of the four major regions, A567's operation would take about 30 hours."
"Regarding the castle signal, it doesn't count... Oh, Mr. Shi, please don't look for it. There are no scissors or knives in the bathing tool cart. A567 does not put any sharp instruments in the bathing area. The only decoration with sharp edges is the ceiling chandelier 20 meters above your head!"
The system said solemnly, "Look carefully, the food in the dining car next to you has all been cut into perfectly sized pieces, with a soft plastic spoon and an unbreakable soft plastic cup. He didn't even leave you a knife."
Shi Cunjin stopped rummaging through the tool cart, "My hair is almost the same as me now... never mind."
"Speaking of this! Teacher Shi! It's so strange! This time you were in a coma because of the hormone poison blood infection of the joker, which caused the DNA to collapse. But after I repaired the collapsed part of your DNA, the repaired DNA was the glandular part that produces hormones. Once repaired, your glands will redevelop uncontrollably." The system said in surprise: "I thought that repairing that part would be enough! I paid close attention to regulating the distribution of energy points! I didn't activate that DNA helix, but it still started to develop on its own!"
"I was scared to death! This reaction is too much like the state of secondary development of the third host! But oh! It's so strange!" The system said in confusion: "Your body condition did not show a very scary skin reaction this time. After A567 brought you back, you only had a thin layer of white skin. Like snake skin. Then you kept sleeping, and I couldn't wake you up."
The system hummed twice again. "But I managed to fool A567! I told A567 through the Fit account that you did not reach adulthood through the traditional developmental stage, and you will have another developmental sequelae this year! You have a C-grade gene, and the duration is determined to be one month. At that time, I had already healed all your internal and external injuries. Your physical signs are very healthy, and the machine test results also show that you are in a deep sleep state. So for the first half of the month, A567 was still normal."
"You did a good job. But can you continue to answer my previous questions? These questions are more important at the moment." Shi Cunjin concealed the matter of the temple in his dream as if nothing had happened.
He casually picked out two toiletries from the tool cart. When he woke up, he felt refreshed and clean. Even the areas behind his ears, feet, and leg joints that were easily overlooked were clean. His tail scales even had a miraculous jade-like texture that had been polished with oil. It was obvious that someone kept him clean regularly.
Shi Cunjin went back to the bathtub and just did a simple cleansing.
"Okay." The system continued, "A567's main star is very large. He chose an entire continental plate as his territory. The castle you are currently staying in is located on the top of the highest mountain range on the continental plate. It is covered by ice and snow storms all year round. The airspace, land, and ocean all use LAN signals. Bad weather and LAN guards make this mountain a fortress that is difficult to enter and exit."
"There is no star network port inside the fortress. Even the internal network is limited in speed and time. When A567 is not in the castle, this place is a huge ice storage." The next second, the system's official tone rose, "Hehe! The third question! I have not been exposed to A567! Not only that! I have encrypted all the network files that you asked me to clean up earlier. A567 sent bugs to dig your files, and the electronic files only found the fake files I let him find! I have hidden the AI Legion and our advanced military star! A567 didn't find them!"
"Hehe! That is A567, beware of Fate's mysterious proxy! Strictly block the area near the territory! I can now handle many things remotely! Not only did I hide the AI Armor Regiment and our military star! I also continued to do many big things!"
The system started to sound mysterious again, "Teacher Shi, ask me quickly."
Shi Cunjin: “…………”
The tone is just like when he had snatched three high-level stars before, and he was even proud of it!
Even Anushka couldn't make Shi Cunjin uneasy and anxious, but the system did it!
"Please wait for the important matter." Shi Cunjin took a deep breath and calmed himself.
As soon as he woke up, his abnormal lover was close to his face. He had to calm down first before thinking about other things. Now that he had calmed down, Shi Cunjin immediately cared about the second thing: "How are Luo Lai, Luo Li and Amy's family on Gamma? Gamma is also in the Far East Region. Has the alien tide exploded near Gamma? If the alien tide exploded, did the Ottowen Military Academy on Gamma recruit soldiers in advance? In which war zone are the three Tom brothers serving now?"
"There has been no alien tide near Gamma." The system said this and became unbalanced again: "Teacher Shi! A567 bullied Luo Lai and Luo Li!"
Shi Cunjin: “?”
The system complained loudly: "Before you went to the carnival, you estimated various risks and recorded more than ten timed family voice and video messages with different backgrounds and clothes! During the time you were unconscious, I followed the scripts and videos you wrote to keep in touch with your family! Luo Lai, Luo Li and Amy didn't know you were in danger, and they were studying hard in the recruitment center and school."
"But! A567 go check your files and find them!" The system projected several images into Shi Cunjin's retinal nerves. It was now at 40% energy point, which could interfere with nerve reactions. Several photos magically appeared in Shi Cunjin's eyes.
Shi Cunjin's heart tightened when he saw this, but he fell silent the next second.
In several different photos, Lori, Rowley, and Amy's older children are all wearing the same black training suits, looking serious and tense.
Next to them stood a cold-faced instructor who was obviously a high-level person.
In the photo, they are identifying guns, mechas, and military technology. The background of the photo is all military bases, and even the background bugs passing by are advanced species.
“Could it be that…” Shi Cunjin whispered.
The system confirmed Shi Cunjin's guess the next second: "A567 directly took Luo Lai, Luo Li and Amy's family to its own planet!"
"Put them in a special training base full of privileged and advanced species of roamers! Feed them with the best nutritional cream like feeding sheep! Train them with special training methods from centuries-old military families! High-intensity training! A567 also lied to Luo Lai and Luo Li! He insisted that he was your most trusted relative and friend! He was specially entrusted to take care of them! I had to temporarily piece together the video of your recorded family letter to comfort the little ones. And then! A567 also copied the video I sent him!"
Shi Cunjin was silent for a moment.
Saying this is a bad thing, these children came directly to the world's top military academy, and all practical courses were taught by the top warriors currently in service, and the practical courses started from the Beast Tide and there was no upper limit.
This is a good thing... A group of children who have not yet passed the development stage are suddenly forced to start a life of a roller coaster. Their lives are directly accelerated and they rush into the adult worm race at a super fast pace.
"How long do Luo Lai, Luo Li and Amy train every day? Have any of them ever had labor? Has Derby also been taken to the special training base?" Shi Cunjin asked.
"A567 trained them in the family way, with training schedules tailored to their ages. It's no problem for a military doctor to watch over them at all times. Derby studied the preparatory course for Autowin Military Technology, and A567 didn't detain him at the base, but sent him to one of its military technology laboratories to study." The system said angrily, "He has some foresight! He didn't force Derby to be a soldier!"
At this moment, Shi Cunjin thought of what Anushka said.
You love them.
The system continued, "The three Tom brothers are doing very well! I still use Captain Romeo's vest to guide them regularly! Because of the rampage of alien beasts, they are now making great military achievements in the Wasp Legion and are rising smoothly step by step!"
"A567 found the original Black Shield administrator when he checked your files and relationships."
"But the admin didn't tell you that you had other guards. Black Shield was destroyed in the war, and many messages disappeared. The admin hid Captain Romeo's military title and real name from you." The system said indifferently, "It's actually okay to tell it. I'll just cancel the account. It's not a real bug."
Shi Cunjin pursed his lips and lowered his eyelids. He could guess what the manager was thinking.
The system said at this moment: "But it doesn't matter if he didn't say it. The three Tom brothers are still part of your hidden force. They are gradually becoming useful. Tom now only needs to fight two more games of Alien Tide to earn enough military merit for a second lieutenant!"
The management bug didn't know the inside story and thought that the former young master was in trouble. Under limited circumstances, he tried his best to hide Ronaldo's military female parentage, hoping to leave some hope for Ronaldo to be saved.
"Please report on the situation of the characters in the original novel." Shi Cunjin sighed. A stone in his heart fell when he knew that the children were fine and were still living in a harmonious and peaceful... and a little bit chaotic environment.
"Ah?" The system was bewildered: "Teacher Shi, you don't care about A567's illegal kidnapping? He, he, he also took away Luo Lai's smart ring chip! Just to copy the video of Luo Lai's family letter!"
Shi Cunjin got up from the water holding her hair, took a bathrobe from the angel sculpture beside her and put it on, saying, "He went back later, didn't he?"
The system made a lip-curling sound effect: "...Yes, yes,"
Shi Cunjin planned to discuss this matter with Anushka in person later, and first calmed down the system's shock: "After A567 left, you immediately used my video to calm them down, right?"
“…Yes, yes. They are scared.” The system whispered, “If you were awake, you definitely wouldn’t want to see them scared. I would definitely edit the video to comfort them.”
Shi Cunjin sat down in the small restaurant on the side of the bathhouse, tied her silver hair around her left shoulder with a hairband she found in the bathing car, and thanked the system tenderly: "You have grown a lot. This remediation was done very well."
"Well... Of course, I'm great now!" The system immediately forgot about reporting A567.
"Now, can you tell me about the characters in the original novel?"
"Okay!" The system became lively again and said skillfully: "Then I will start with the bad news!"
Shi Cunjin picked up a piece of fruit and hummed.
"Among the characters from the original novel, Adjutant Jack died." The system said, "He contributed 8% of the plot energy points and then the card was broken. He died on the way to lead you to escape."
Shi Cunjin paused.
The system immediately said, "Teacher Shi, don't get too emotional! I'll show you some of the things I've collected!"
The system imaged several screenshots and a photo in Shi Cunjin's retinal nerve.
The screenshot video was blurry, and Shi Cunjin couldn't make out the content for a moment, but he was very familiar with the thing in the only still photo.
It was an opened gift box, which contained a fairy tale book and a peculiarly shaped collectible gold coin.
The title of the fairy tale is in handwritten font, One Thousand and One Nights.
Shi Cunjin recognized that it was the apology gift Jack gave after he was caught skipping work and drinking.
