Chapter 79
Su Ci naturally noticed Number Six's peeking, but he didn't care.
After all, after what happened last night, his strength has been exposed to the children, so there is no need to hide it anymore.
He removed another spider leg, shook it, and felt that it was heavier than the previous one. He nodded with satisfaction, then carried them on his shoulders, one on each side, and came to the pool again.
The two pools were already filled to the brim, with a spirit gathering array providing spiritual energy, and a water purification array working non-stop to purify the pollutants diluted from the spider meat.
A Yan squatted beside the pool, looking down at the operation of the two formations, reviewing the knowledge points about the formation structure, and then used a metal rod to replicate the two formations on the mud ground nearby.
Although the dirt surface is not very smooth and not as smooth as the paper, it can be erased directly after drawing, which can save paper.
There is only a small box of paper and pen in the space button, and it will be gone once it is used up. A Yan usually cherishes it very much. Although he can save more paper and ink for practice now that he has a communicator, A Yan knows that these will run out sooner or later.
So it’s better to save as much as possible!
He once again drew a complete water purification array, but unfortunately, even though it was exactly the same as Su Ci's drawing, there was no light flowing on it.
Su Ci dropped the two spider legs and looked down at the child. He was squatting on the ground, staring intently at the complete formation, as if he had encountered a difficult problem.
Su Ci did not criticize him for wanting to run before he had even laid a solid foundation and learned to walk. Instead, he squatted down beside the child and asked him a question: "Do you know why this formation doesn't work?"
A Yan froze for a moment, then raised the communication bracelet and started operating it.
"I think it's because I haven't fully comprehended the formation structure that suits the power of rules."
The clear and calm male voice sounded again.
Su Ci paused, then nodded.
After all, this was what he had just been taught this morning. Unexpectedly, A Yan continued, "Also, I don't know how these formation structures should be combined. I think... their order is also very important."
Su Ci looked at A Yan deeply and nodded again: "You are right. Not only the order, but also the amount of energy injected will have an impact."
Therefore, formations that look the same may play different roles in the hands of different formation masters. Generally speaking, this is an ever-changing and very interesting subject.
Su Ci no longer wanted to praise A Yan's talent. He touched the top of the child's head and told him to continue to comprehend.
Maybe if he was given enough time, he wouldn't even need to teach him, and the little guy would be able to figure it out on his own? That would be much easier for him.
Su Ci has always been lazy and prefers not to move if possible. It is great that A Yan is so worry-free.
Thinking back, he had gone through the same thing in the past. No matter what he learned, he could learn it very quickly. He would often become proficient in it once he got started, making the top geniuses of the human race very angry, and then he would just clap his hands and leave.
So, A Yan continued to comprehend the formation, while Su Ci processed the spider meat.
After trying twice, he perfectly mastered the method of picking out the spider meat without damaging the giant spider's shell. This saves time and effort, and the remaining spider shell can be used for other purposes in the future.
Su Ci carried away all the spider legs, and No. 6, who was lying on the glass window and secretly observing, looked at the spider body still left there and swallowed again.
The little boy retreated silently and sat at his own table.
He pursed his lips and tried hard to show a disdainful expression on his face. However, when he picked up the spoon to eat again, the hand holding the spoon was shaking uncontrollably, which revealed his current mood.
The little wolf cub, who was sitting two tables away, gave him a strange look.
Why is the stinky monkey so quiet today? What was he looking at through the window just now? Is there anything to see outside?
The function rooms on the second floor, including the activity room, all have windows. These windows are also specially made, but they are still a little fragile compared to metal walls. In a frenzied state, the cubs can break them.
However, if the entire nursery had no windows, it would be too depressing, so when the nursery building was constructed, the windows of the functional rooms were retained, while the rooms for the cubs were completely enclosed for safety reasons.
Of course, even if the windows were retained, because of the several-story-high walls outside, looking out the second-floor windows, you wouldn’t actually be able to see much of a view. All you would see would be the high metal walls and the bare metal floor.
Therefore, the little wolf cub has never been interested in the scenery outside the window.
However, the abnormality of number six caught his attention.
He turned his head to look at the little Zhengxing beside him. He had already finished his portion of meat jelly. He was holding his metal ball, his eyes half-closed, and his little head nodding sleepily.
I was frightened last night, so naturally I didn't sleep well. Little Zhengxing is not as energetic as a wolf cub.
Xiao Langze reached out, pushed the plate in front of him away, and then gently pressed his head on the table.
When his head was touched, little Zhengxing's eyes opened slightly, and his lifeless light blue eyes reflected the figure of little Langze. After confirming that it was the little wolf cub, he obediently leaned on the table, closed his eyes and took a light sleep.
So good...
Looking at the child sleeping on his side on the table, little Langze couldn't help but think, and then he looked at the little white deer next to him.
The silver-haired boy frowned, as if he was still thinking about the answer to that question.
What method did the breeder use to bring No. 4 back from the research institute without using force?
As for number six...
Because he was now close to the little wolf cub, and No. 5 had sent him friendly signals in the morning, Xiao Lu Jiao felt as if he had betrayed his former allies, so he didn't dare to face No. 2 and No. 6.
Therefore, he naturally did not pay attention to his "mortal enemy" like the little wolf cub, and it could even be said that he deliberately ignored it.
Little Langze looked at him a few times, then looked at Little Zhengxing who was sleeping on the table. Finally, he shut up, quietly moved the chair away, and quietly walked towards the glass window.
If he can’t speak, then he can go and see for himself!
When he approached, No. 6 also noticed it. He looked at No. 8 unkindly, but after hesitating for a while, he endured it and did not lose his temper.
The little boy dropped the spoon in his hand, stood up and walked towards the restaurant door, saying to 4586, "Liuliu is going back to bed!"
He was angry, but his voice was so low that you couldn't hear what he was saying unless you listened carefully.
4586 did not refuse his request. After instructing the little wolf cubs to eat well, he sent No. 6 back to his room.
The little wolf cub watched them leave and no longer had any worries. He quickly walked to the window and tiptoed to the glass to look.
When the boy saw the giant spider body divided into three sections, his eyes widened, and the volume that had been restrained just now suddenly rose.
"Wow! It's that big spider!"
The little wolf cub exclaimed, "When did he get here? Why didn't I see him when I went out to pick up Number Four?!"
Xiaolu Jiao, who was originally looking at the door, couldn't help but be attracted by his voice. Even Xiao Zhengxing, who was napping on the table, was awakened by his voice.
His mental power extended towards the direction of the wolf cub, and he soon "saw" the giant spider with its body separated.
Xiao Zhengxing relaxed slightly.
He knew last night that the giant spider had been killed by the breeder, but he didn't know why Little Langze hadn't discovered it until now, and...
Why does this giant spider seem to be missing a part?
A question mark popped up in Xiao Zhengxing's head, while Xiaolu Jiao had already stood up and ran to the window, joining the group of people in amazement with the little wolf cub.
"Susu killed him!"
Xiaolu Jiao whispered that he had seen it through the broken door last night, "The big spider was crawling up the wall, and then suddenly, it was cut into several pieces..."
He gestured with his hands and told the little wolf cub everything he had seen last night.
After all, they are all boys under ten years old. Although they have an instinctive awe in the face of powerful forces, fighting always arouses their high interest.
Even Xiao Zhengxing couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen.
Observing with mental power is different from seeing with actual eyes. As he listened to Xiaolu Jiao's description, he felt a kind of excitement and nervousness in his heart.
As for what happened last night, they have not discussed it yet because of the breeder's intimidation.
Now that Xiaolu Jiao had started talking, the little wolf cub couldn't stop either.
"There seemed to be two monsters last night. One of them hypnotized you and told you to follow it out. Little Star and I..."
At this time, the little wolf cub was a little confused, "Why aren't we hypnotized?"
Xiaolujiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought of Number Five... because it was Number Five who controlled them, and the little wolf cub, as her ally, was naturally not treated kindly.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't angry, but after No. 5 apologized to him, Xiaolu Jiao felt generous enough to forgive her.
After all, they were enemies before, so as long as she doesn't do that again in the future, it will be fine.
As for the Little Star...
He glanced at the quiet little boy, thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the monster can't control so many people."
Hearing this, the little wolf cub was convinced.
"That was a close call." He patted his chest. "Little Star was woken up and came looking for me, so I went downstairs with him to rescue you! But when we were downstairs, we ran into Number Two..."
"Langze, thank you, and Xiao Xingxing." Xiaolu Jiao said sincerely, "Thank you for coming to save me when I was in such danger."
"Hey, we are friends!"
Little Langze grinned and patted the little white deer's shoulder hard, while little Zhengxing lowered his head and remained silent.
The little white deer looked at the two of them, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then he said seriously: "I will protect you in the future!"
besides……
Xiao Lujiao thought of the red flame tiger that protected him and Xiao Langze last night.
In the past, although he regarded No. 2 as an ally, he was actually afraid of him in his heart and was always worried that after No. 2 transformed into a beast, he would pounce on him and eat him.
But after what happened last night, that fear and worry disappeared.
He is no longer afraid of the red flame tiger that No. 2 has transformed into. Apart from gratitude and guilt, the only thing left is worry.
Is Number Two, who has completely transformed into a beast, really okay?
He hasn't shown up all day today... I wonder what's wrong with him? I really want to go see him...
Thinking of this, the little boy turned his head to look at the door of the restaurant.
The metal door had closed automatically, but Xiaolu Jiao discovered... the metal door was not locked.
When locked, the indicator light on the panel next to it will turn red, and now, the fingernail-sized light is green, indicating that it is passable.
This is strange.
Because in the past, whenever the nanny robot and the breeder were not around, the doors would always be locked.
Whether it's an activity room or a restaurant...
Come to think of it, isn't it already past lunchtime? Xiaolu Jiao looked at the electronic clock on the wall, a hint of confusion on his face. Why hasn't 4586 come to tell them to go back to their rooms yet?
After the discussion, little Langze continued to lie on the glass window. He looked at the spider's body outside with his eyes full of desire.
He really wants to go out and take a look...
How could he not see such a big spider when he went out this morning? Could it be that Su Su had used some magic to make it disappear? Then why did it appear again now?
Questions popped up one after another in Xiao Langze's mind.
"Hey, I want to go out and play..."
Finally, he couldn't help but express his desire.
In fact, now I don’t have to go back to the room. I can stay with my friends and look at the big spider outside through the window. It is much better than staying alone in the room.
Before today, he would have been extremely happy.
However, after following the breeder on a "long journey", he found himself becoming dissatisfied and his wishes seemed to be increasing...
Just when Xiao Langze almost pressed his cheek against the glass window and his cheek was squeezed out of shape, he felt someone pulling at his clothes.
Little Langze lowered his head and saw that Little Zhengxing had come to his side at some point.
"Xingxing, what's the matter?" he asked.
Xiao Zhengxing didn't respond, but just raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the door.
"Hmm?" Little Langze blinked, "What happened over there?"
He was naturally curious and active, so he subconsciously ran towards the door, and then—
When he approached the restaurant door, the tightly closed metal door actually slowly opened to both sides!
Xiao Langze:!!!
Xiaolu Jiao:!!!
"It's open!" The little wolf cub shook his big tail and looked into the corridor. He didn't see any other people, and 4586 didn't come back either. He couldn't help but retract his head.
"We can get out!"
The young boy turned around and excitedly shared the good news with his friends.
Xiao Lujiao, who saw the door open with his own eyes, couldn't help but run over. He also stuck his head out to look outside and couldn't help but be surprised. It was really open!
He couldn't help but turn around and look at Xiao Zhengxing who was hugging the metal ball and shrinking into the corner.
Xiao Zhengxing is obviously different from them. He doesn't mind staying in the restaurant alone. However, after a little wolf breaks into his world, many things are no longer what he wants.
"Xingxing, Xingxing, let's go out and see the giant spider together!"
The little wolf cub ran back from the door, grabbed the child's hand, and said excitedly.
The metal floor was slippery to begin with, and with little Zhengxing's thin arms and legs, he was no match for the little wolf cub. So, as he was pulled like that, he actually supported himself on the ground with his two legs, and was dragged all the way to the door.
Xiao Lujiao opened his mouth, but seeing the numb expression on the child's face, he finally closed it.
Then the door of the restaurant opened again, and three little heads popped out, looking at the corridor together.
Although they had decided to go out for the "adventure", the deterrent effect of Su the breeder was still there. When it came time to take action, even the usually reckless wolf cubs began to be cautious.
"Will Susu be angry if we run out like this?" Xiaolu Jiao hesitated.
"I don't think so."
The little wolf cub thought back to his interactions with the keeper today, and finally said with his keen intuition, "We'll go out for a while and then come back. Su Su will definitely not be angry!"
When he came back in the morning, he said he wanted to go back to the activity room, so Su Su just let him go by himself...
"Let's go." The little wolf cub bravely took the first step. "There's no rule that says we have to stay in the restaurant when we eat. Why can't we go out and play for a while before coming back to eat?"
Although he said so, he was obviously cautious in his steps and didn't dare to make any big noise.
Xiaolu Jiao looked at his back and suddenly felt that she understood something.
"Then could Susu have successfully brought Number Four back because of the regulations?" He held Xiao Zhengxing's hand and followed the little wolf cub.
Little Langze stood on tiptoe, observing his surroundings vigilantly. When he heard his words, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yell!"
Little Langze nodded, then frowned again, remembering the breeder telling him that force couldn't solve all problems. "But I didn't know there was such a rule before!"
He even didn't know which specific rule the breeder used to bring No. 4 back.
Xiaolu Jiao also nodded.
"So, this is the importance of knowledge!" he said, thinking to himself that maybe when he had time, he could study the regulations of the base. He felt that this would be very useful to him.
The two of them were discussing, while Xiao Zhengxing was in a trance.
At this moment, little Langze caught a glimpse of something through the window in the corridor, and he immediately put all his problems behind him.
"Look! The floor behind the building has changed color!"
Xiaolu Jiao also hurried over and found that the floor behind the nursery building seemed to have changed color. It used to be bare metal, but now...
"It looks like the metal has been removed, revealing the dirt underneath!"
Little Langze was knowledgeable and quickly figured out the situation.
Xiao Zhengxing, who was standing behind the two of them, couldn't help but extend his mental power in that direction upon hearing the young man's words. However, the information he received was still so meager...
What does muddy land look like?
No matter how he used his mental power to observe, he couldn't imagine it.
He had no concept in his mind, and the information he received could not be combined into a concrete picture to be imprinted in his mind...
The land was a certain distance away from him, and the area was large. Finally, Xiao Zhengxing's mental power reached its limit, and he was forced to retract it.
Unable to use his mental power, Xiao Zhengxing's world fell into true darkness.
He stood behind Xiao Langze and Xiao Lujiao, holding the metal ball tightly in his arms with his little hands. Only in this way could he feel a little safe.
Going back...
Xiao Zhengxing thought so and was about to forcibly release his mental power to explore the way - otherwise, he wouldn't even know how to get back to the room...
However, that joyful voice rang in his ears again: "Xingxing, let's go to the field and take a look!"
Then a hand pulled him over, and he lay on a strong shoulder. His little feet left the ground, and with a quick scream, he was carried up.
"Let's go!"
Little Langze picked up the child and shook him playfully, which scared little Zhengxing so much that he clasped his hands together and hugged his neck tightly.
"Hahaha, Xingxing, you are so light!"
The young man smiled brightly and greeted the little white deer, "Yo yo, come here too!"
Then, he carried little Zhengxing on his back and ran happily down the corridor, "Let's go out and play!"
Xiaolu Jiao watched his back as he ran away, and wanted to remind him to speak more quietly. However, when he heard his laughter, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Never mind! Anyway...
Anyway, the breeder is not sleeping now!
The little white deer convinced himself and started running after the little wolf. "Langze! Xingxing! Wait for me!"
Although the little white deer is short and has short legs, he is not slow at all when running. After Xiao Langze slowed down a little, he quickly caught up.
They ran together, competing to see who could run faster.
They had fought before, but now, their starting points were completely different.
Now they are just doing it purely for happiness.
Xiao Zhengxing hugged Xiao Langze's neck tightly, and slowly relaxed after adapting to his speed.
His world was still dark and his mental strength had not recovered.
However, feeling the wind blowing towards him, smelling the breath of the young man, and listening to the two energetic laughs, the haze that shrouded his heart seemed to dissipate a lot.
Xiao Zhengxing imagined that they were running in the world presented by the sound of the flute. He, who had always had no expression, suddenly curled up the corners of his mouth slightly.
"yeah!"
Even with little Zhengxing on his back, little Langze walked very fast. He rushed out of the nursery building first, but did not look at the big spider. Instead, he ran towards the exposed soil.
Finally, he stood firmly on the edge of the metal floor and the dirt ground and shouted, "I win!"
After he stood still, the little white deer stopped beside him, panting.
However, little Langze’s pride did not last long.
because……
Not far from him, the keeper stood beside two pools emitting a light red glow, holding a huge spider leg in his hand and stirring it in one of the pools.
The red light reflected on the young man's delicate white face, giving him a sense of weirdness and strangeness.
At this moment, as if he had noticed something, the young man looked towards them with an expressionless face.
“…”
The little wolf cub's whole body was stiff. The next moment, he quickly pulled the little white deer, carried little Zhengxing on his back, and turned around and ran.
