Chapter 106 Siren
Inside the house, Rong Le went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Gou, a big, happy dog with smooth fur, wagged its tail at him quickly: "Teacher, I'm here. I missed you so much!"
Rong Le looked at him calmly, with a faint smile of daily courtesy on her face: "Come in."
Gong Hua was no longer surprised by his attitude. She walked in calmly, found her slippers skillfully, and paused her eyes on the shoe rack.
"Teacher, are there guests at your house again? Who is it?"
Rong Le glanced at him lightly: "Why don't you go and take a look yourself and find out?"
Gong Hua already had the answer in her mind, but she still maintained a positive attitude in front of Rong Le, smiling broadly: "Okay."
Gong Hua walked towards Yang Cheng's room with a clear goal, while Rong Le drank tea and read a book alone without any interest.
Wait until he pushed open the door and met eyes with the people in the room.
Gong Hua smiled faintly: "It's you, Yang Cheng."
Yang Cheng looked him over.
The young man is wearing a simple white T-shirt and sports trousers. His full and healthy muscles hold up the clothes, making him look young and energetic. Although he is simply dressed, he is full of well-educated air.
He and I are completely different types of people.
Seeing Yang Cheng staring at him silently, Gong Hua raised an eyebrow in surprise and closed the door behind her. "Are you really stupid? I thought you'd really become that dangerous person in the news. It seems I was overthinking it."
He looked around and said, "You look pretty miserable. I thought you had become so powerful. I really don't know what the teacher saw in you. He even begged me for your sake and insisted on knowing your condition before he would be relieved."
Yang Cheng: "What did you say?"
He said with a surprised and exaggerated expression, "Look at you, you don't know anything at all, right? He asked me to find your bottom lane, and guess what... what did it cost the teacher?"
His tone was very bad, as if he was deliberately leading Yang Cheng in another direction. Yang Cheng looked at him steadily and calmed down.
"You're clearly on the opposite side of me, yet you still dare to appear before me? Aren't you afraid you'll end up like the people in the lab?"
Gong Hua: "Hey, don't put the blame on me. Those things in the laboratory were not done by our family. My family usually doesn't let me have contact with those medical lunatics. We have no obligation to restrain them from doing anything."
So no matter whether the laboratory was destroyed by the violent Yang Cheng or something else, the alien species of the Mother Goddess's clan never appeared and just stood by and watched.
Of course, Yang Cheng also knew that the Mother Goddess’s family was not innocent.
After all, it was nominally an experimental laboratory belonging to the Mother Goddess's clan, and the people who captured and took him away were also from the Mother Goddess's clan. The relationship between the two families was more of a cooperative one.
Gong Hua chuckled softly, her tone hinting at a hint of boasting, "But sooner or later, I will replace you and become the teacher's favorite alien."
"He has noble blood, is talented and strong, and has a family behind him. Most importantly, he is obedient enough. No one would not like such a partner."
His last words revealed his true intentions.
"But since you've already suffered so much, I'll show mercy and let you go. Just don't show up in front of the teacher anymore. I'm an eyesore."
Gong Hua snapped her fingers: "I will take good care of him in the future."
“…”
Yang Cheng whispered something.
Gong Hua: "Huh? What? I didn't hear it."
"I said, impossible."
Yang Cheng repeated it again.
The next moment, thick tentacles emerged from the lower back and rolled towards Gong Hua as fast as lightning.
The tentacles suddenly tightened with such force that they almost suffocated Gong Hua.
Yang Cheng said politely, "Thank you. I'm very grateful that you can take care of him. I'll need your help again. However, I will ask for it back when everything is over."
"Ahem...put me down, what do you mean by that?"
Gong Hua covered her neck and coughed, ignoring the danger on her body and cursing: "Shit, I will give it to you?!"
Yang Cheng: "Didn't your family tell you not to provoke aliens that could crush you to death?"
Gong Hua belatedly noticed the familiar tentacles wrapped around her body.
The tentacle gene inherited from the Mother Goddess's clan actually appeared in another alien species.
"You actually... the experiment actually succeeded."
The oppressive feeling from Yang Cheng was even stronger than before. If the two of them could fight back and forth before, if they fought now, Gong Hua would definitely be declared defeated.
This is an absolute crushing defeat due to the difference in levels.
Gong Hua cautiously closed her mouth and stopped provoking him.
"Gong Hua, don't disturb Yang Cheng too much. His injury hasn't healed yet."
Rong Le shouted from outside, "No fighting, just stay still, got it?"
He didn't need to guess what it would be like if these two people got together.
“…”
Yang Cheng loosened his tentacles slightly.
Gong Hua broke free and said, "I understand."
Gong Hua glanced at Yang Cheng, and after making sure that he didn't make any other moves, she opened the door and went out. Not long after, Yang Cheng heard cheerful laughter coming from outside the room.
He lowered his eyes and said nothing.
This time, Gong Hua didn't stay long and quickly got up to say goodbye. After Rong Le sent him out, she came back and went into Yang Cheng's room again.
"Were you having a fight?"
He asked, leaning against the door frame.
Yang Cheng didn't answer, but asked him: "Gong Hua said you looked for my bottom lane, right?"
"Indeed, but Gonghua certainly wouldn't be so kind as to give me any useful information. Fortunately, you came back not long after."
The young man with black hair and green eyes smiled and said in a gentle tone: "I feel relieved to see you back."
Yang Cheng opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
What are you talking about?
Ask Rong Le what price he paid to Gong Hua, or why he knew so much?
These were not questions he should have asked.
To Yang Cheng, Rong Le was gentle and mysterious. If Rong Le didn't want him to know something, he would never know it.
Rong Le keenly sensed that his psychological problems had resurfaced and asked, "What are you hesitating about?"
"No... I just, I just don't know anything."
Yang Cheng didn't look at him, avoiding the question: "And, I'm afraid to know."
Rong Le asked patiently, "What do you want to know?"
Yang Cheng didn't say anything.
Rong Le smiled, stood up and walked over, lifted his head, leaned over and held his head with both hands: "Ask whatever you want to ask, right now, I will tell you the answers to all your questions."
Yang Cheng looked at him.
Those eyes were still so tolerant, without any impatience, and he could feel the truth of these words.
However, when the moment came, he was unable to say anything.
He had very complicated feelings towards Rong Le. From the moment he first met the professor, his mysterious and dangerous nature had attracted his attention.
This person's true appearance seems to be always shrouded behind a mask, which is difficult to break easily. He remains calm no matter what emergency situation he faces.
He has extremely rich experiences, which together make up Rong Le's elusive appearance, making people unable to extricate themselves from paying attention to him.
He was indeed willing to be captured by the professor and give him everything he had, but he was uneasy about the gift he received, fearing that he would lose the illusory happiness.
Will he really... be accepted and tolerated unconditionally?
Countless years flashed through Yang Cheng's mind, and the last thing he said was a dry sentence: "Will you always love me, no matter what I become?"
After he said that, he wanted to slap himself, not daring to see how Rong Le would react when she heard this question.
That's lame, what is he doing?
Just when he was feeling frustrated, Rong Le burst out laughing.
He chuckled softly, not mocking Yang Cheng's question, but answered seriously: "I will always love you, no matter what you become."
"I told you that you can always trust me."
Yang Cheng widened his eyes slightly.
Time seemed to be stretched infinitely at this moment. In his mind, he could only hear what Rong Le had just said, playing in a continuous loop, and he fell in love with her more every time he heard it.
My heart seemed to be bubbling with joy, and all the unhappy memories and low emotions disappeared in an instant. I just wanted to hide in the nest with the young man in front of me, and never be separated.
"So, don't be a coward when things get tough. I'm not someone who'll run away immediately after getting hurt. You can try to trust me a little more. I understand that this might be difficult for you."
Rong Le: "Because you are afraid that I will leave."
"Let's make a pact, Yang Cheng."
Rong Le pinched his fingertips: "As long as you pinch my fingers, I will forgive you no matter what."
"This is a secret between the two of us."
The touch of his fingertips was soft and secretive. Yang Cheng pursed his lips slightly, and with a subtle anticipation, he hummed softly.
As long as it is a secret between the two of them, he is willing to do whatever the agreement is.
…
Although that’s what I said.
Yang Cheng's eyes were wandering. When Rong Le returned to her room and wasn't paying attention, he quietly climbed out the window and left without making any noise. He just left without saying goodbye.
It was not his intention to do this, but he did not want Rong Le to be involved more in what he was going to do next.
Now he has enemies everywhere. If Rong Le comes into their sight, it might cause trouble for his plan.
In short, Rong Le will probably forgive him, right?
Yang Cheng thought so, completely unaware that he was gradually becoming self-righteous because of being favored, and even began to have his own ideas.
He still remembered his conversation with Tengshe before he was freed, and perhaps he could go to the Heavenly Kingdom Sect to get the answers he wanted.
What Yang Cheng didn't know was that Rong Le came out of the room after he left.
Then he went to Yang Cheng's room, calmly tidied the room, and waited for the next use.
Outside the room, Rong Le's cell phone suddenly rang.
It was Xu Yuanhe calling.
"Professor, our current mission is on track. The students have completed their tasks very well, and Mr. Baiyue appreciates them very much."
"However, they recently obtained new intelligence regarding the inner workings of the Mother Goddess's clan. They seem to have targeted you through unknown channels."
Xu Yuanhe: "Should we warn them?"
"They're moving faster than I thought."
Rong Le said calmly, "Don't pay any attention to them. Let them do what they want. I can handle it. I'll let you know when I need you to take action."
"By the way, keep an eye on the students. Don't think this is still school."
He meant something.
Xu Yuanhe understood what he meant. It was obvious that Rong Le was well aware of the personalities of these young pioneers.
He had also read the records of the Qiu Hai module and knew that in the current timeline, Bai Yue had been their substitute teacher.
But now the tasks of the University of Michigan are basically concentrated on Baiyue. He is expanding the business territory of the alien area, and players are needed to deal with the alien attacks caused by the rapid expansion.
Baiyue has truly transformed from a hidden character into a boss who issues tasks to players. This relationship is not a good thing for their role-playing.
If your role-playing ability is too low, you will gradually be targeted by the module, which is not conducive to the most basic survival tasks.
"Please rest assured, I will remind them and I will also control their behavior normally."
Xu Yuanhe has gradually become adept at leading the team.
However, I didn't expect that Mr. Rong Le had such a good relationship with Baiyue, so I still felt a little wary of him.
This caution is the key to survival in the module.
Xu Yuanhe thought.
It's not just the pioneers that require his concern, he also has a more important task, which is to deal with the collection center's acceptance of the first batch of pioneers.
Linqing has already handed this list to him. He needs to coordinate with the collection center to maintain the stable operation of the collection center as the number of staff has suddenly increased.
Currently, this group of pioneers has received support from the collection center. At the same time, we must also pay attention to the performance of the pioneers in the mission. The ultimate goal is to reduce the mortality rate of the pioneers.
This is their fundamental purpose.
He was so busy that he had no time to rest, so he had been missing for a while.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Rong Le said a few words and hung up the phone.
He knew what Yang Cheng would do next. He would probably join the Heavenly Kingdom sect and be accepted by Tengshe and others.
As a rare alien force in this area that is powerful, has a small staff, and tends to be neutral, the Heavenly Kingdom Sect has both a strong and weak presence and rarely does anything to attract attention.
But Rong Le would not underestimate them. The fact that they had gathered so many high-level alien species only meant that what they were aiming for was far greater than that of others.
Judging from Tengshe's remarks, they may not have changed their original purpose. They only want to select the alien king according to the plan and stabilize the region.
However, it is difficult to achieve this.
The root cause of the unrest in the alien area does not lie in the Mother Goddess's clan who act tyrannically on the surface, nor in the Alien Special Office at a deeper level, but in the Mother Goddess Church who controls this area from afar.
This is the back garden that continuously transmits alien species to the church. It can be said that the alien species here are all raised by the church.
How can pets have their own thoughts? They can only be managed by their owners and survive according to the direction planned by them.
This area was cordoned off by the church, and hints were given inside and outside the circle, prohibiting unrelated personnel from entering or leaving at will.
Rong Le guessed that perhaps the original plan of the Alien King was also the work of the Mother Goddess Church, just like selecting a leader sheep in the sheepfold to help the owner look after the flock, which would save more management experience and costs.
But for some reason it was put aside and became a hidden obsession of the aliens.
After Yang Cheng joins, the Heavenly Kingdom Sect will definitely take frequent actions to build momentum for Yang Cheng.
"Siren" will probably become the biggest shadow between humans and alien species in the future.
Their first target will definitely be the Special Office, which is in the interests of all alien species.
Rong Le still remembered that one of their cadres was captured during an operation. A high-level alien species would not have a good end in the hands of the Special Office. According to their style, he would most likely be used as an experimental subject.
And Yang Cheng will definitely explore the real core laboratory that the Special Office has not made public, and witness the last piece of this secret puzzle.
It seems that the days ahead will not be peaceful.
…
Things turned out just as Rong Le had guessed.
The alien species "Siren" that has been in the limelight recently joined the Heavenly Kingdom sect not long after it appeared in the public's sight. It has been witnessed by alien species many times acting together with core cadres.
Some who were not convinced wanted to challenge him and test his true strength, but were also ruthlessly dealt with by the Siren.
After a few times, everyone was completely quiet.
Siren's external image is long white hair, honey-colored skin, and a mask that covers most of her face. She often wears a loose and easy-to-move-in sweatshirt, with the hood of the hoodie buttoned up, revealing only her well-defined jaw.
As he went on several missions, he showed his strong strength and even attracted some supporters, and his fame spread even more widely.
A stronghold of the Celestial Kingdom sect.
Yang Cheng came back from outside, his body still stained with blood, his expression indifferent and cold, like a lifeless sculpture.
In the living room, two alien species were sitting on the sofa.
"Oh, our new guy is back."
The young man with shaggy black hair saw him coming back and greeted him with a grin, "How's it going? Haven't your suitors courted you yet?"
"Don't say such disgusting things, Andy." Jellyfish said in a tender voice.
When Yang Cheng heard Andy's words, he didn't react. He just paused, looked at him with his dark eyes, and turned back to his room.
Andy looked at his back unhappily: "Tsk, what are you showing off for? You have such a sullen face all day long."
Jellyfish sat on the sofa, her small body unable to even reach the ground. She stopped him, saying, "Andy, don't always target Siren. Even if you do, Dragonfly won't be able to come back, and Siren is ours now."
Andy retorted, "I just can't stand his arrogant attitude. Even if he was expelled from the Special Office, he still smells like an operative."
"That's the smell of a half-blood, Andy."
"I know, shut up jellyfish."
The two of them started arguing with each other, or perhaps it was just Andy's one-sided anger. The jellyfish was calmly drinking the artificial plasma from beginning to end.
She is a vegetarian.
Until Tengshe came to the living room and interrupted their quarrel.
"That's enough, Andy. Jellyfish is right. Watch your attitude. I know you have a good relationship with Dragonfly, but don't take your anger out on others."
"Our enemy is the Special Office. Siren is not responsible for this, and he is also a victim."
Tengshe's attitude was very calm. Andy also restrained his emotions a little in front of him and said with his head down:
"I know, I'm just...just worried about Dragonfly."
He was a little melancholy: "I don't know how he is doing now."
"He won't die yet. The Special Office values the value of higher species. We still have a chance before their value is fully exploited."
Tengshe: "What you need to do now is to control your emotions."
Andy complained, "Then let Dragonfly control my emotions. There's no way I can do it myself. You single guys don't understand this."
"Indeed, but I heard that Siren knows about this matter. It seems that he has his own partner."
Tengshe: "You two may be the only core members who are still single."
"What?! That guy?"
Andy had an expression of disbelief on his face.
"I really can't tell. He hid it so well. Where did he hide her? I didn't expect that he looked so unromantic, but he was hiding his true face."
His bad guess.
Tengshe was only responsible for diverting his attention and letting him guess on his own.
He asked the jellyfish, "How is the Siren these days?"
"He's already started to adapt to his alien identity. As Siren, he's already gained a reputation in the alien community and has witnessed firsthand the plight of the lower-class aliens."
"Everything is going smoothly and our plans are still on track."
The jellyfish said, looking up.
"The alien species will never completely disappear, so they need the leadership of a king."
Tengshe's expression darkened slightly. "In some ways, the hybrids in the Special Office are indeed the most qualified. I selected Siren there. We must not only bring him to our side, but also make him truly identify with us and be willing to dedicate everything to this plan."
"We will succeed."
Tengshe's expression softened slightly: "Yes, you are right."
Yang Cheng will definitely become king.
They can't wait much longer.
…
On the surface, Rong Le's life has always been peaceful.
No one knew that this young professor was secretly entangled with two dangerous high-level alien species, one of whom was a candidate for the head of the Mother Goddess' family, and the other was a criminal currently on the wanted list.
The inner world is about to be in turmoil, and he has been present in several dark disturbances, but no force has discovered this variable so far.
The environment at East District University has always been harmonious and beautiful, and Rong Le regards the several classes a week as a stress-relieving activity.
He is knowledgeable and what he says always attracts students' attention. Knowledge points from the textbook are also interspersed in the teaching process so that students can understand them thoroughly.
But today, his peaceful life was suddenly broken.
After class, Rong Le packed up her things, answered questions from students who came up to her with a smile, and politely left the classroom at the right time.
After walking out of the teaching building, he suddenly glanced sideways, then smiled softly, turned around and walked towards a more secluded place.
When he reached a place where he would not attract attention, the people following him finally appeared. They were all dressed in casual clothes and did not look at all noticeable.
They said respectfully, "Mr. Rong Le, please get in the car with us. Someone wants to see you."
Rong Le: "If you want to invite someone, you should at least give your name, right?"
"We are from the Mother Goddess's family. The important people above want to see you. Please get in the car with us, otherwise we will have trouble explaining ourselves."
The leader said.
It seems that what he did finally attracted the attention of the upper class.
But this was also part of Rong Le's plan.
Faced with this invitation that was delivered to his door, he naturally had to seize this opportunity to get in touch with the forces that could truly influence the direction of this region.
As long as there are demands, there is the possibility of cooperation.
Even if this trip seems to be ill-intentioned, he will solve these troubles one by one.
"Then let's go, what are we waiting for?"
He smiled calmly at the aliens who looked stunned.
