Chapter 51 The Little Couple Passing Notes
However, just as Huo Ting took over the camera surveillance equipment, Yu Mian in the study was typing quickly, completely unaware of the coming of a certain crisis.
After all, with the help of Huo Yan and the system, Yu Mian had long since become less nervous about sneaking out of the fish tank without anyone noticing. For a while,
he even felt that it was not as dangerous as he had imagined.
Every time he had enough time to change his legs, he couldn't help but go out for a walk.
"It's just that my tail seems to be a little itchy recently..."
After writing and publishing the latest update of "Eternal Night Rose" today, Yu Mian took advantage of Huo Ting not coming back yet and sat on a chair to look down at his fish tail.
The tip of the tail fluttered back and forth, and the light golden fishtail skirt seemed to become more dreamy during this period of time.
[Have you been out of the water too much, causing your tail to be intolerant or too dry? ]
The small system looked at Yu Mian's fish tail and subconsciously guessed.
After all, since Yu Mian ran out during this period of time, he became addicted. Almost every time, he would use up all the time to change his legs, and finally reluctantly returned to the fish tank.
"This shouldn't be?"
Yu Mian reached out and touched the scales, and subconsciously shuddered a little.
It looks good, but it's really not practical.
Maybe there will be a chance to soak in water more in the future?
"However, how about we try to get all the lucky bag rewards mentioned in the last mission this time?"
Yu Mian opened the system panel and found that the popularity value reward of "Contract Marriage" was close to full value. It is estimated that the reward will be officially credited after the film adaptation is broadcast.
But the rent for the fish tank is almost used up.
After all, the quality of the props prompted in the last mission has reached S level, which triggers the challenge of the side mission. If the mission target eats it three times in a row, a random lucky bag reward will be dropped.
To be honest, Yu Mian is really a little curious about what this lucky bag reward is.
So when Huo Ting came back from the military headquarters that night, and Secretary Hals walked into the study room with a box of video surveillance equipment behind him, he unexpectedly found that tonight's supper had become quite exquisite again.
In the middle was a bowl of delicious mushroom and shredded chicken porridge, and next to it was a plate of golden egg rolls that looked refreshing and delicious.
The high-purity food almost made the mental power feel extremely excited.
"Is this another big meal made on the weekend? Joni's cooking skills seem to be getting better and better recently."
Secretary Hals put the box of surveillance equipment aside after confirming that there was no one else in the study room, and subconsciously looked at the supper prepared by Joni tonight.
I thought that the young master didn't plan to make it again after the last order.
But Huo Ting walked to the desk and looked around with a frown.
"Do you still feel something is wrong? But it seems that there is nothing unusual."
Hals obviously knew about Huo Ting's suspicions during this period.
However, if there is really someone lurking in a corner of the study, he can even perfectly deceive himself and Huo Ting, who have high-level mental power.
What is the purpose of this person?
After all, there have been no problems or dangers around him during this period of time.
"And these important documents on the table, nothing has happened in the past few weeks."
Secretary Hals picked up these materials and looked at Huo Ting in confusion.
If the other party came here to steal confidential documents or information, then these documents placed in the corner of the study showed no signs of being opened.
It was a trap, but no one fell into it.
Except for the fact that his young master had always felt something was wrong, everything seemed to be extremely normal.
"There is indeed no sign of any information leaking."
Huo Ting flipped through these confidential documents and was sure that the other party did not come here to steal.
If the other party had opened these disguised documents, they would have taken some action.
In other words, compared to the military department, there were not many valuable materials in the old house.
Did he really misjudge?
At this moment, Huo Ting doubted his own perception for the first time.
Yu Mian in the fish tank saw Huo Ting and his family coming back tonight and found that something was not right.
Even Secretary Hals came back with a big box.
"What are they talking about? Why don't they go eat first!"
Yu Mian was very dissatisfied with Huo Ting's behavior of procrastinating, after all, his lucky bag reward was right in front of him. It was
a rare opportunity to stop the internship task and have time to complete a task to get a reward. What does it mean that this guy doesn't go to eat?
In fact, these materials that Huo Ting deliberately placed in the study room did not play any role in fishing for Yu Mian, a fish who had no intention of doing anything bad.
The only time Yu Mian touched these files was when he accidentally bumped into the Bart tribe data, and he finally put them back carefully.
After all, he was renting here because of the system, and it would be rude to mess with Huo Ting's files.
"I think you may really be too tense recently."
Secretary Hals patted the monitoring box beside him and tried to make some suggestions.
"Maybe you can finish your meal early tonight and go to rest? After all, you just came back from the laboratory."
Anyway, no matter what, if the subsequent monitoring can't capture anything, then it can only be said that there is indeed a mistake in judgment?
And the faint fragrance of this midnight snack on the table tonight that spreads into the air is almost the biggest test for those with high-intensity mental power.
Is Qiao Ni's cooking skill already so good?
[Hehehe, he ate it after all! Then we only need one more bite to finish it.]
The small system watched Huo Ting, who was not far away, finally pick up the spoon, and immediately became excited.
Yu Mian watched Huo Ting finish his midnight snack obediently, and felt that he had discovered something.
"His and Huo Yan's tastes are actually pretty similar."
It's just that of this pair of brothers, Huo Yan would shout out loudly that it was delicious and he liked it very much, while this guy prefers to say nothing without making a sound.
But once he can eat it, it means that he definitely doesn't hate it.
Although thinking about the time when Huo Yan came to eat secretly after completing the task tonight, and being fed the leftover egg roll wrappers into his mouth, and eating them with relish without being picky, Yu Mian still wanted to laugh.
[If the babysitter Qiao Ni knew what you did, she would probably scream...]
The small system was also shocked by this. After all, only its own host could do such a thing as feeding the young master of the Huo family egg roll scraps.
The key is that the other party is not picky at all, and he seems to be completely different from his cousin.
"Time is tight this time, I'll make a separate one for Huo Yan when I have the chance in the future."
Yu Mian was also a little embarrassed.
However, just when Yu Mian was confidently planning to complete the last punch-in task, he suddenly found that Secretary Hals, who had just left, suddenly came with a group of workers.
"Ah? What are they doing...!?"
Yu Mian in the fish tank looked at the group of workers outside and was about to explode on the spot.
Because this group of people, under the arrangement and command of Secretary Hals, disassembled the box and began to install cameras in the study and the corridor outside.
This guy actually installed! Surveillance! Control?
Yu Mian turned around several times in shock in the fish tank, and once again confirmed that the workers in all directions in the study were actually installing surveillance cameras.
"Oh my God, this guy is so heartless!? I brought him food, and he installed surveillance for me--!?"
This is naked ingratitude!
If Yu Mian could do it now, he would have wanted to give Huo Ting a good beating (if he could beat him).
[Then, what should we do... Although I can help, at most I can help eliminate some surveillance during inconspicuous time periods. ]
However, if you forcibly interfere with the elimination of surveillance installed by important plot characters for specific purposes, it is very easy to cause bugs in the small world.
The small system couldn't help but panic:
[In this case, even if there is no one in the room, you can't come out casually? ! What about our updates and popularity! ]
"Ah..."
After the initial disbelief, Yu Mian finally sighed and soaked in the water in a daze.
"What else can I do... I definitely can't go out during this period of time."
I have to think of a way. What can I do in this situation now?
Um... It's the update of "Eternal Night Rose". This wave of pressure will probably be handed over to Huanyu.
After all, it's really not my fault, but why did Huo Ting suddenly have the idea of installing surveillance!
So when 6 o'clock the next day came on time, countless Star readers who were waiting for the latest update of "Eternal Night Rose" were shocked when they found that no matter how many times they refreshed, there was no new chapter.
[Ah, the broken Tudou APP of Huanyu crashed again! ? You should spit out the manuscript of "Eternal Night Rose" I warn you! ! I am so anxious]
[God damn Huanyu, where is my manuscript! ? I have refreshed for more than half an hour. If I can't see the update, I will really call the police to arrest you——]
[Where is the update? I am updating! How come the delicious update that I enjoyed before going to bed has not been refreshed yet? ]
If we say that in the first ten minutes, it was just that many readers in the comment area below "Eternal Night Rose" were frantically asking about the latest update, thinking that there was some small accident.
But after a whole hour passed without any updates, the entry #寰宇崩了# unexpectedly became a hot search so violently!
After all, Yu Mian's quality can be said to be quite good.
Except for the unexplained suspension of updates at the beginning of "Agreement Marriage", from the serialization of "Agreement Marriage" to "Eternal Night Rose", Yu Tangmian's updates have always been extremely stable and reliable.
There have always been unexpected big updates and happy additional drops, and there has never been a historical record of pigeonholing everyone.
Therefore, for the unexpected situation that "Eternal Night Rose" did not drop in today's update, most readers subconsciously believed that there must be something wrong with the broken APP of Huanyu again——!
[So you should fix this shitty Tudou server for everyone as soon as possible. If you are going to fail, don’t fail at 6 o’clock, okay? ? ]
“What!? The APP crashed?”
The deputy editor who received the news from the superior opened the Star Network with sweat all over his face. As expected, he saw #寰宇垮了# hanging high on the hot search list.
The entry below was full of blood and gore, and it was almost as if the entire universe was uprooted and shaken to question it.
But when the deputy editor rushed to the technical department, he found that everyone was equally aggrieved and confused:
"Deputy editor, I swear we really didn't crash, the APP is all good!"
"Then why didn't the author's update appear? This is obviously a major work error. Don't you know how many people squat on Fish Soup Noodles' books at 6 o'clock every night... Uh?"
However, after the deputy editor looked at the page, he was also speechless and realized that there seemed to be no problem.
Obviously, opening other pages is very smooth.
"It seems that Fish Soup Noodles didn't update... The author's account backend was not online at all today. Should I ask the editor to contact them?"
After hesitating for a long time, the technical department staff carefully said a possibility.
But Shax was also in a state of despair:
"It's true that we can't get in touch with him... Today, the Star News avatar is gray, and he's not online at all, deputy editor!"
With Shax's final confirmation, everyone in the Universal editorial department looked at each other in bewilderment.
Because isn't this even scarier?
Fish Soup Noodles suddenly disappeared...! ? [terrified.jpg]
As for everyone in the editorial department, it can be said that they know very well how terrifying it would be if a crisis like this happened.
"No, no, this is absolutely not possible... At any cost, we must contact Mr. Fish Noodle Soup!"
It would only take one day, and maybe we can barely handle it. If we can't contact him, something bad will happen!
The readership of "Eternal Night Rose" has already covered an astonishingly wide range. Even if we don't know how many big guys are hidden in it, the person who can let the star message above directly hit the universe to ask for updates...
Miss Lilith of the Bart family is definitely one of them!
The key is that a lot of people are traveling to the Eternal Night Galaxy recently, and the Moonlight Rose, a specialty of Eternal Night, is even more popular. At the critical moment, the author of "Eternal Night Rose" disappeared. How can this be! ?
However, even so, everything was calm in the Huo family's old house during this period.
Because this week, no matter how many times Huo Ting checked the surveillance on the remote optical computer, he found that there was no abnormality in the study.
Could it be that his judgment was wrong?
There was actually nothing abnormal in the study?
"But this is too strange. After the surveillance device confirmed that there was no abnormality, why did the mental power data become unstable? Have you secretly gone to the alien galaxy recently?"
When Professor Mori learned that his "physical therapy" had failed, he didn't take it to heart. After all, it was a good thing that there was no abnormality in the study.
But what made Professor Mori uneasy was that Huo Ting's mental power data had been stable for a long time, but recently it broke through the dangerous value again.
"Not really."
Huo Ting actually didn't care much about the so-called mental power. After all, from the moment he decided to go to the battlefield, it was no surprise that such a thing happened.
"But if you say so, how can I explain it to your grandfather? You handed your grandson to me, but in the end, not only did you not cure him, but he even got worse."
Professor Mori looked at the data table in his hand with a rare worried look, and the pen in his other hand was constantly analyzing and outlining something.
"Has nothing unusual happened to you recently? Or have you actually received treatment before..."
But this doesn't make sense. All of Huo Ting's treatments related to mental strength were clearly carried out here.
"Does it count if I have eaten pure-grade food?"
Regarding Professor Mori's concerns, Huo Ting inexplicably recalled those midnight snacks.
In fact, Professor Mori once reminded Huo Ting that in view of the current state of Huo Ting's spiritual sea, it is best to eat high-safety, low-radiation food for a long time.
It can be regarded as a mild conservative treatment.
However, in the army, eating such high-purity food yourself, but letting the soldiers under you drink nutrient solution, the impact is undoubtedly bad, so Huo Ting has always chosen to drink high-purity nutrient solution.
Apart from the fact that it tastes terrible and doesn't have much effect on restoring mental strength, at least it won't have any negative effects.
"You mean there is such a high-purity, radiation-free food?"
But when Professor Mori in the laboratory heard Huo Ting's detailed explanation of the midnight snack, the white-haired old man was a little shocked.
Although Professor Mori didn't believe it, the report data in his hand did show that there might really be such a possibility.
"In fact, if possible, I really want to meet this Joni in your family. After all, the ability to make food with such high purity and low radiation is absolutely precious to me."
Professor Mori's serious words at the last moment made Huo Ting realize that his midnight snacks seemed to be indeed not simple.
However, all of this suddenly became mysterious with the nanny Joni's flat denial.
"What? Aren't the midnight snacks those few times exactly the same as those sent to Mr. Huo Dong and his family? There wasn't any porridge or anything like that..."
Joni asked in shock and confusion, which made Secretary Hals beside her shudder.
This is a food problem, and it happened in the old house.
The old house may not seem to be as heavily guarded as an official institution, but its own security force is not weak, and the few work and logistics personnel are also carefully selected.
How could such a thing as a substitution happen! ?
This can even be said to be an accident so serious that all the people in the old house need to be cleared and replaced!
However, the first order issued by Huo Ting after the initial accident made Hals' eyes widen:
"From now on, all those who know about this matter will be treated as confidential."
In the corridor, Hals even looked at everything in the old house with some suspicion, and was extremely puzzled by Huo Ting's silence.
"Master, shouldn't we evacuate the old house immediately? If there is a problem inside the old house, every minute and every second is extremely dangerous now."
However, Huo Ting, who remained silent all the time, looked at Secretary Hals behind him again.
"Who bandaged my chest wound the night I came home from the alien galaxy?"
"Ah? Didn't you bandage it yourself after you came back?"
So when Huo Ting was silent as expected, Hals, who finally realized what this silence meant, almost turned green.
Oh my God, couldn't it be that the young master didn't bandage it himself, but a mysterious person helped bandage it before the medical team arrived! ?
What on earth does this person want?
Huo Ting, who walked forward again, had some thoughts.
It seems that Hals was indeed unaware of the pollution of his spiritual sea.
The only explanation is that the other party not only bandaged his wound, but also directly cleared the source of pollution.
In other words, almost everything this unknown existence does now is to help him secretly.
In fact, if the other party really has malicious intentions, even if he can lurk in the old house without anyone noticing, and even replace the midnight snack that Qiao Ni brought to him, once he poisoned it, he would have been discovered at the first time.
It is precisely because the other party has almost no malicious intentions that the blind spot of darkness under the light appears.
After all, who would have thought that someone would replace such precious food almost unconditionally.
"But even if the other party has no malicious intentions at all, this is too weird, Master."
Hals gradually figured out the connection, but he still couldn't help but worry.
"The number of surveillance and security is still too small, we should increase it..."
"No, remove them all."
However, just when Hals was worried, Huo Ting gave a completely opposite order.
Hals:! ?
"Remove them all!?"
Hals was almost in disbelief at this moment, but he had to obey and reply.
*
This time, Huo Ting looked at the surveillance that was completely removed in the study early the next morning, and after thinking for a long time, he finally wrote on a piece of paper.
And when leaving the study, he gently tucked it under the porcelain cup on the desk.
"......?"
"Did this guy really dismantle all the surveillance cameras?"
Yu Mian, who had been forced to stay in the fish tank for a long time, even subconsciously asked the small system to help detect and confirm Huo Ting's abnormal behavior.
[It's true! Damn, this guy actually dismantled it! Now there is no surveillance camera in the room. ]
The small system looked at all this in confusion, and never expected that it could survive in such a desperate situation.
What happened that made Huo Ting so troubled to install and dismantle it.
[And he left something on the table. ]
"I want to know too... But this guy is not fishing, right?!"
After all, Yu Mian also found that Huo Ting did write something on the paper on the table before leaving. Is it a trap?
[But I swear, even the system backend can't detect any surveillance in the room, they are all removed.]
The small system tried hard to scan again, and then replied to Yu Mian with certainty.
Despite this, Yu Mian still hesitated for a long time this time, and finally turned into a fish tail in the water after a long absence.
The moment he emerged from the water holding the fish tank, he even breathed a sigh of relief.
"It feels so good to be a human again."
Although Yu Mian looked down at the fish tail in the fish tank, he felt that soaking for so long was not completely without benefits.
At least the itchy dehydration feeling of the fish tail some time ago seemed to be temporarily replenished.
But when Yu Mian sat down at the desk again and couldn't wait to look at the note on the desk, he suddenly widened his eyes.
[Who are you and what is your purpose? - Huo Ting]
...
Help, this guy really found something wrong in the study! ?
Holding the note in his hand, Yu Mian subconsciously fell on the table with a red face, and his tail was about to curl up in embarrassment.
It always feels really weird that the landlord found out that someone is living in his house.
But Huo Ting didn't use any tough means to dig himself out?
Instead, he took a step back and dismantled the camera.
Yu Mian thought so, and suddenly felt that Huo Ting seemed a little different from what he imagined. He
even left a note for this "mysterious existence" of himself.
Should I reply to him?
[Are you really going to have this long-distance conversation...]
The small system was also shocked and excited. It never thought that things could develop in this way.
"It has been discovered anyway..."
Guan Jian himself really didn't do anything bad at all!
Even because of the unstable fish tail, he lived in the fish tank in the study and paid the rent on time.
Yu Mian hesitated for a moment, and then simply picked up the pen and started writing.
So that one night, when Huo Ting returned to the study and looked at everything in the study, he found with a rare look of surprise.
The note he left casually was actually replied by the other party.
