…
During this period, Rong Le dealt with a lot of things and had no free time as she should have. The number of members in the collection gradually expanded, and the corresponding management also became a lot of work.
Rong Le formulated various regulations and relevant systems for the collection library based on the books she had read on the subject, and required members to strictly abide by them.
After realizing the hard work of being a startup boss, I began to miss the days in the module.
For the City of Mist, time can indeed jump. After he finished all the work that needed to be processed, the next module was finally loaded.
Before leaving, Yan Liu was still reporting to him.
Due to the massive influx of puppets and players, the Collection Hall, which has seen a dramatic increase in members, currently needs to rest and recuperate the most, and the natives of the Mechanical City also need to be properly settled.
However, the church frequently harassed the museum's expatriates, relying on its strength to bully others.
It seems that this problem will be solved this time.
This time, Rong Le is in the timeline when she first joined the University of Michigan, and it is still a few years before she resigns to become a detective and goes to Portland.
Rong Le opened the panel and checked the identity value as usual.

On the card is his character image this time.
The young scholar seemed no different from an ordinary college student. He wore a pair of plain glasses that half covered his upturned green pupils, and his hair was casually tied behind his head with a headband. He had a soft and calm aura that was unique to scholars.
He was flipping through the pages lazily, and behind him was a whole wall of bookshelves filled with various books.
This time the character image is very close to Rong Le's daily life, with almost no changes.
He looked at the card and found that this seemed to be his office in the collection hall.
"KP, can you still take secret photos?"
He pointed at the evidence and raised an eyebrow.
KP said in a light voice: "This is a reasonable scenario application and does not involve the player's privacy."
KP rarely appears around Rong Le on his own initiative, and more often observes secretly in a way that will not be noticed. Rong Le used to be wary of his appearance, but now she is too lazy to pay attention to him.
Without intelligence, there is no meaning.
But this time, KP took the initiative to show goodwill and gave a clue: "You can search the area, maybe you will find unexpected results."
Rong Le: “?”
The sun rises from the west?
He looked around, and this time the module loaded, and he appeared in a deserted suburb. All he could see were abandoned buildings and overgrown roads.
Logically speaking, this is not reasonable, which is not conducive to the player quickly entering the identity state. To make matters worse, he thought he would appear directly on the school podium.
Having said that, Rong Le calmed down and observed the situation around him.
He rummaged through the items he had on him and found a pair of plain glasses, a wallet containing relevant documents, a bunch of keys with an address on them, and a mobile phone. It seemed that he needed to return to his residence to collect more information.
He chose a direction and began to search.
…
“Ahem…”
Yang Cheng covered his mouth and coughed twice.
There were bloody pieces of internal organs in his throat. He spat them out and leaned against the dark place where the sun could not reach.
During his trip this time, he accidentally came across a hunting scene of an alien species. He only had a pistol assigned to him by the Special Office for field work with him. He awkwardly led the alien species to an uninhabited suburb and fought with it.
However, human physical fitness alone is not enough to compete with the alien species. After enduring several attacks, he revealed his original form, repelled it, and took the opportunity to escape here.
No one passed by here, so it seemed he could rest here for a while and go back when his injuries were mostly healed or someone came to look for him.
Yang Cheng thought so and leaned against the wall of the abandoned warehouse. The cold and damp ground made him feel a little at ease.
He fell into a deep sleep.
…
A figure stepped over the fence surrounding the warehouse.
The abandoned factory area was overgrown with weeds, and the edges of his suit trousers were inevitably stained with dirt and dust. Rong Le put his hands in his pockets, bent down to rub the dirt off his leather shoes, and looked around.
This place is indeed quite dilapidated. If it weren't for KP's guidance, he probably wouldn't have taken the trouble to search. Although it's such a large place, he has no direction to look for it and has not found anything so far.
Fortunately, Rong Le let himself go freely. Excessive spiritual intuition is invincible in the field of mysticism, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.
The advantage is that he can often follow the guidance of the unknown to reach his destination, but the disadvantage is that his excessive sensitivity to the mysterious side makes his spirit more vulnerable.
"Hmm?" Rong Le said softly.
At this time, he had walked to the outside of an abandoned warehouse. His excellent investigative logic integrated the clues he had collected. By inferring a series of subtle traces, he discovered that there might be an injured person hiding here.
I actually gained something.
Rong Le walked over step by step, without concealing the sound of her footsteps, and slowly informed the people inside of her approach. The sound of her leather shoes stepping on the grass stopped at the door of the warehouse.
He could feel that the person inside was near the door and he had been keenly discovered by the other party.
Rong Le said politely, "Can I come in?"
After saying this, without waiting for anyone inside to object, he pushed open the warehouse door.
Her pupils adapted to the surrounding light in a short time. After seeing the scene clearly, Rong Le paused for a few seconds and then exclaimed in surprise.
What he saw before him was a miracle that existed only in human imagination.
Humans' rapid movements left it with nowhere to hide, and its tail flapped in vain, like a fish stranded on land.
There were no lights on in the warehouse. Even though the sun was still shining outside, the temperature inside had dropped by several degrees. Even standing at the door, one could feel a chill and damp air.
A few meters away, a creature with a human body and a fish tail was half-supporting its body, with several wounds all over its body. From the waist down, it had a blue-black fish tail with smooth and powerful lines. The broad tail fin was unconsciously flapping the ground according to the mood of its owner.
No one would doubt the power contained in this fish tail. It could easily break the steel bars when it twitches.
The length of the fish's tail makes its body length reach more than two meters, and its proportions are so perfect that it seems like a masterpiece of the Creator.
The upper body of the mermaid looks like a young human male, with soft white hair and honey-colored skin. The muscle-covered upper body is very perfect, and the few scars add a bit of sadistic beauty.
The light red blood fell onto the ground through the dark blue fish scales, giving the damp ground a fishy smell.
At this moment, it was looking at him with its black eyes in surprise.
"ah."
Rong Le sighed: "This is such a wonderful accident."
Even more fortunately, the mermaid had been injured for a period of time and no longer had the energy to stay awake.
It lay unconscious in the warehouse, having lost all its defenses and allowed itself to be slaughtered by the human who stumbled upon it.
Rong Le gladly accepted this surprise.
*
This time, our destination is a very comfortably decorated apartment.
Rong Le brought the mermaid she found in the wild home and threw it into the bathtub, filling it with water to cover its body.
He originally wanted to treat the mermaid's wound, but when he found that the mermaid's wound was healing at an extremely slow rate after coming into contact with water, he felt at ease to soak it in the water.
After an unknown amount of time, the mermaid in the bathtub gradually regained consciousness.
Mermaids can breathe freely underwater, and their recovery speed will be accelerated as long as they are in contact with water.
Yang Cheng woke up much earlier than expected.
Through the clear water, he noticed that he was not in a warehouse, but in front of him was a beautifully decorated bathroom ceiling.
Yang Cheng opened his eyes wide, and the water in the bathtub stirred violently with his movements, and a lot of water splashed outside.
He recalled the young man he saw before he fell into a coma. If he was going to be taken away, was it him who brought him back?
"This afternoon, another alien attack occurred in Dongcheng District. When the on-duty personnel arrived, the victim still had vital signs. After emergency treatment at the hospital, the victim was fortunately saved."
"We also urge everyone to travel in groups even during the day, stay away from crowded places, and be careful to see if there are any dangers when passing through deserted paths."
"The Alien Special Office will also do its utmost to ensure the safety of the citizens. Recently, incidents of aliens attacking passersby during the day have occurred frequently. Please be cautious when traveling..."
The TV outside was broadcasting the attack that had just happened today. Yang Cheng listened quietly, and his heart gradually settled down.
Great, the victim is still alive.
Besides the sound of the TV outside, there was also the sound of someone making a phone call. The mermaid had very good hearing and could hear the entire conversation clearly.
"Well, I'm at home now."
The young man's voice entered his ears, causing a slight numbness.
Yang Cheng could confirm from the voice that the person outside was indeed the last person he saw.
But he didn't understand why someone would appear in that place?
"I'll probably stay here for a while... Stop it, Tina. Before I left, you promised me that you would be obedient and not make me repeat myself."
The young man's voice was light but a little stern. Later, it seemed like someone else answered the phone. He said something about study and arrangements and then hung up. Footsteps came in this direction.
Yang Cheng thought to himself that this was bad.
He heard words like "school" and learned that this young man seemed to be a university professor specially invited from another place. It was quite amazing that he had achieved such results at this age.
And he actually appeared in front of the young man in such an unbearable state, and he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
It's really lame.
Yang Cheng buried himself in the water and blew bubbles in frustration.
The bathroom door was opened, and Rong Le was only wearing a homely white shirt and casual trousers, with her sleeves casually rolled up to her elbows, looking a bit lazy and casual.
He stood by the bathtub and observed for a while, then reached out and put his arm around Yang Cheng's neck and lifted him up.
When he came in, Yang Cheng closed his eyes and subconsciously wanted to pretend to be asleep, but he didn't expect him to attack directly. He was so startled that he immediately opened his eyes and jumped up. The wide tail fin moved slightly, and water splashed on Rong Le's shirt.
Yang Cheng: "...Sorry."
Rong Le raised an eyebrow, not caring about the shirt: "Awake?"
Yang Cheng's eyes wandered, and he hummed after a while.
Rong Le found it very interesting. Although the alien in front of her was a powerful and beautiful creature, its personality was very shy and timid.
He really wanted to tease him: "I just came here. Although I have heard about the special customs of this place, I didn't expect that the alien species are not as brutal as they are said on TV. Instead, they are very polite."
"No, the xenomorphs are very dangerous and should not be taken lightly!"
Yang Cheng immediately refuted his point of view seriously.
“…”
The two looked at each other silently across the bathtub, and Yang Cheng's eyes became vague again.
What should I do? How should I tell the young man in front of me that he is not an alien, but a human. He just accidentally lost control during a field mission and was beaten back to his original form...
No, the professor must not know that I was exposed.
"All right."
The young man lowered his eyes calmly, as if he didn't notice Yang Cheng's embarrassment. His voice was elegant and gentle: "I checked your injuries. I didn't know what to do with you, so I had to bring you back."
"It was later discovered that your injuries were improving in the water, so no further treatment was performed."
Yang Cheng: "...Thank you. Please call the Alien Special Office next time."
The air was quiet for a few seconds.
Rong Le burst out laughing: "Okay, I understand."
Yang Cheng felt that the battle might have damaged his brain, otherwise how could he explain why he kept making stupid mistakes.
He changed the subject and asked with a guilty conscience, "By the way, how did you bring me back from the suburbs?"
"Ah, I put you in a big box and had someone transport you back. I told the delivery driver that it was seafood, so I wrapped you up and put you in there myself."
Rong Le gestured as he spoke.
“…”
Maybe he shouldn't have initiated the conversation.
Rong Le saw the mermaid half-diving under the water and blowing bubbles, her ears slightly red with embarrassment.
He stopped teasing the alien and said with a smile, "I haven't introduced myself yet. I've just arrived here. I'm Rong Le, a specially invited professor at East District University. My major is folklore."
"Because I'm not familiar with this place, I wandered around and accidentally walked into your hiding place."
Yang Cheng opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
What should he tell the professor?
Should I tell him that I'm actually human, a new employee of the Alien Special Office, and that there's a reason for my current appearance? Or should I tell him that I was once an outstanding graduate of East Side University...
No, Yang Cheng thought.
He should appear in front of the professor with a more respectable identity. After all, his facial features will change after he becomes the original form. If he is not very familiar with it, it is impossible to distinguish the identity of the alien and the human.
"Why aren't you talking?"
A shadow loomed in front of him. The professor had approached him without him knowing when. His emerald green eyes behind his plain glasses stared at him, as if he could see through his inner being.
"No, I just..."
Yang Cheng realized belatedly that there was some danger.
Why did he think that the professor in front of him would be a completely harmless character?
He was running around in this area where aliens were rampant, and he even brought home a battle-damaged alien he found in an abandoned warehouse. He even talked to him as if nothing had happened after he woke up. This behavior was not normal no matter how you looked at it.
Would a professor of folklore...cut open a strange creature he picked up and observe its internal structure out of curiosity?
Yang Cheng's heart twitched in fear at his own thoughts.
If the professor really has this intention, he can only find a way to escape from here. The Special Office will not allow him to attack outsiders.
If his mixed-blood origins were exposed, he would be severely punished.
Yang Cheng stared closely at the professor's gradually raised hand, always on guard against him pulling out a knife or an injection.
But there was nothing.
Rong Le gently touched his forehead, as if she were touching a small animal: "Are you still scared? Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
Ah, help.
Yang Cheng grabbed Rong Le's hand and covered his face with it, his skin beginning to turn red with shame.
...It's really too bad.
When he was shy, Rong Le kept looking at him thoughtfully.
I thought Mission 1 would be completed on this alien, but from the first encounter in the warehouse until he woke up, the alien has not shown any intention of launching an attack.
Could it be that his guess was wrong? Then what was the point of KP giving him a hint?
Seeing how shy he is, it seems impossible that he is the king of alien species. It seems that he is somewhat worthless.
Thinking of this, Rong Le suddenly noticed that the mermaid in the bathtub seemed to be a little strange, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.
"ha……"
Yang Cheng hooked up his tail and curled up. Previously, only his cheeks were slightly red, but now his whole body was turning pink, even though it was not obvious on his dark skin.
The water in the bathtub was still cold, but the muscles in his upper body were covered with fine beads of sweat.
Rong Le touched it lightly and felt it burning hot, indicating she was already in a high fever. However, the mermaid's mental state was excited and confused. She grabbed his hand and held it in her arms, refusing to let go.
“It’s so uncomfortable…”
He murmured.
It looked like she was really dizzy from the fever. Rong Le wasn't quite sure what this temperature meant for the mermaid, a cold-blooded creature.
He asked patiently, "What do you need me to do for you?"
"I don't know. It's so uncomfortable..."
Yang Cheng repeated, following the arm in his arms, gradually climbing up.
His throat felt dry.
Still want more...
Rong Le raised an eyebrow and let him continue climbing, holding his entire arm in her arms like a treasure, tightly fitting it against the mermaid's moist and delicate skin.
The shirt had long been soaked by water and turned translucent. The thin fabric was completely unable to block the transfer of heat, and the elastic muscles rose and fell with breathing.
He sighed softly, "So that's how it is."
Yang Cheng's condition was obviously abnormal and he was burning red. The change was so great that it could hardly be explained by common sense. Rong Le tried to pull her arm out, but the mermaid locked him tightly in her arms like catching prey.
With a dangerous aura that was not revealed when he was sober, he tried to entangle his prey, but he also had a certain rationality to restrain his behavior and did not do anything more extreme.
He was just pitiful, begging with a broken voice, and panting rapidly in Rong Le's ears.
"Although the current clues are insufficient to support a conclusion, based on commonly accepted common sense, you are probably..."
Rong Le tapped Yang Cheng's eyebrows and said in a confused and amused tone, "He's in heat."
“???”
"What are you sending?!"
"Say it again if you can?!"
"Ahhhh, my screams attracted my parents here. If you have the guts, just keep going! I promise to watch it from beginning to end!"
"Very good, don't do anything else. I'm staying in this live broadcast room today."
The audience was shocked by Rong Le's words.
Yang Cheng did not answer. All his attention was on Rong Le's hand. He greedily tried to get the other arm. Rong Le did not indulge him and instead held his hand.
"How can I help you?"
Rong Le was patient, as if the scene before her was very ordinary and not at all exciting: "Answer me."
There was also a fine film between the mermaid's fingers. He was held down by Rong Le but he did not resist, as if the contact of his skin was enough to satisfy her.
But the desire in his body told him that he wanted more.
The person in front of him is not his prey, but someone who can dominate his body and mind.
And he must surrender to this genetic nature.
“Please…”
There was a hint of sob in his voice: "Help me."
"Can't you do it yourself? I can make room for you."
Compared to the mermaid's embarrassment, Rong Le's attitude was calm: "You don't need my help."
At this moment, the camera suddenly turned and aimed at the wall on the other side.
Only a vague shadow could be seen due to the reflection of the translucent material of the shower room next to it.
"Is there anything we can't see?!"
"Is this module going to be this big right from the start? Hurry up and make more of them."
"This is too exciting!!"
"Ahhhh, who knows, white hair and black skin are simply the perfect match, wuwuwu!!"
"And she's a mermaid! Super beautiful and healthy mermaid tail. I've been wanting to say this for a long time. I thought mermaids were so astringent in the warehouse, but who would understand?"
"He's begging you so much, Rongrong, why don't you give it to him? Are you a human being? (Fall)"
The barrage exploded directly.
Although the rich entertainment live broadcast activities of the peacetime era have been restored here, everyone is basically still watching the live broadcast rationally.
There have always been official controls on the direction of online comments and the degree of prohibition, not to mention the origin of this live broadcast room, which also makes people a little wary.
However, once the plot takes an unpredictable turn, a large and mysterious organization will appear and take over.
Now is the time when the barrage area is dominated by them.
They heard the mermaid's voice trembling with tortured plea:
"Please give me the command... Speak the key words and take control of me."
