Chapter 23 Claude Arrives
Yu An encountered the biggest problem in his life so far. He couldn't tell the difference between Gu Yihang and Gu Ersheng. However, these two people deliberately played tricks on him. Sometimes they said they were the younger brother, and sometimes they argued about who was the older brother.
Yu An looked around blankly, his eyes blurred but he couldn't tell who was who.
Zhou Yi wanted to help Yu An, so he sniffed around the two of them, but the two brothers were always close to each other and had the same smell, so even Zhou Yi couldn't tell them apart.
Having failed to help Yu An, Zhou Yi returned to Yu An's feet in disappointment, with his ears drooping listlessly.
"Okay, both of you, stop teasing him." Fu Yunshu saw Yu An was at a loss, so he stopped the two brothers from playing and told Yu An, "Gu Yixing has a small mole under his eyebrow. You can use this to distinguish them."
Yu An stared at the twins' faces, and sure enough, one of them had a small mole under his left eyebrow, which the other did not have.
"Yunshu, you're cheating!" Gu Yixing rushed over and tightly grabbed Fu Yunshu's neck. "Cheating, cheating! This is too boring! I was hoping to keep An An entertained for a few more days."
The young people's playfulness was full of energy. At this moment, Yu An saw a different Fu Yunshu. He was not as gloomy and taciturn as he was in the small room at the base. He looked helpless, but a smile could be clearly seen in his eyes. The precocious steadiness that lingered on Fu Yunshu faded away in an instant.
Only then did Yu An truly realize that Brother Yun Shu was actually just a little brother who was not even ten years old.
While Yu An was staring at them in a daze, Ji Yunyan, who seldom spoke, walked to his side, lowered his body slightly, and stared at Xiaobai on Yu An's shoulder with interest.
His eyes were too hot. Yu An turned his head to look at him, startled. His round eyes widened even wider. "What's wrong? Brother Ji."
"Your bird... is a robot bird?" Ji Yunyan spoke slowly, holding the cross around his neck. "What's the principle?"
This question really confused Yu An. He was only half-baked at the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, so how could he know the principles of making intelligent robots? This really looked down upon a little idiot like him.
Yu An shook his head honestly, "I don't understand. Xiaobai was given to me by my father."
"Then I'll ask Uncle Wen next time." Ji Yunyan seemed to be thinking about it. "An An, can you tell me if I can modify the cross so that it can fly beside you like your little bird?"
A flying cross?
Please forgive Yu An for his poor imagination and inability to come up with such a strange picture.
In getting along with his friends, Yu An gradually let go of himself and became much bolder than when he first arrived. He even dared to say a few words to his friends.
The banquet hall was solemn and boring. It was a place where adults entertained people and children did not like it. After a while, everyone became restless and wanted to take a walk in the back garden.
The young master Yu An naturally led the way in front.
The back garden is far away from the hustle and bustle of lights, quiet and peaceful. Insects chirp one after another in the lush green grass, and the dim street lights can barely illuminate a small area.
Yu An had always lived in the villa in Blue Moon Bay and was not familiar with the Lin family's old house in Kyoto. He could only rely on his rare memory to lead the way for his friends. "There are many beautiful flowers here during the day. There is a lake over there, and there is a small pavilion in the middle of the lake. Do you want to go and see it?"
Gu Yixing asked curiously, "Is there anything fun in the pavilion?"
Yu An shook his head. "There's nothing fun here, but there's an easel and some sketch paper. Do you want to draw?"
Wen Xun brought him to the back garden just to sketch. He didn't have time to organize the painting tools from the morning, so he put them all in the small pavilion.
When Gu Yixing heard this, he lost interest and said, "I can't draw, so I won't go."
Others also shook their heads.
"An An, do you have any animals in your backyard?" Gu Ersheng suddenly asked. He glanced around and listened attentively. "There's something crawling... and there's a sound, like the labored breathing of an elderly person."
Yu An was stunned. He calmed down and listened carefully. Sure enough, he heard the sound that Gu Ersheng described amid the rustling of insects.
"But we don't have any small animals at home..." Yu An nodded confidently, "No small animals, not even rabbits."
Before coming back, Grandpa Yide said that there might be wild rabbits in the garden, and maybe even newborn rabbits at this time of year. But after Yu An came back and looked around, there was not a single animal in the garden.
Fu Yunshu's expression became serious. He stretched out his hand and pulled Yu An to his side. "It's an alien species, and its level is not low. Let's go back first."
Liang Xingsang and others have long known about the existence of alien species. They basically all have spiritual magnetic fields, but except for Fu Yunshu, whose spiritual magnetic field has been greatly improved after participating in the CAF plan, the spiritual powers of others are very low.
Solander climbed from Yu An's pocket onto his shoulder, "Joxuel is here."
Monday excitedly wagged his tail, "Beauty, beauty, this is the smell of a beautiful beauty!"
Yu An had heard of Qiao Xu'er's name before, but had never seen him in person. He only knew that Qiao Xu'er was of the same tribe as Solander and was also a small octopus. Zhou Yi said that he was very beautiful. Could it be that Qiao Xu'er was a colorful and shiny little octopus?
Yu An was distracted, imagining Qiao Xuer's appearance.
Wu Yao followed his friend out of the garden, looking back every few steps, extremely curious about the alien species. "Can I go take a look? I've never seen an alien species before."
He wanted to participate in the CAF program and begged his father for help, but Wen Xun always refused on the grounds that he was too young. He only stayed in Fu Yin's botanical garden when he occasionally went to the base. Up to this age, Wu Yao's impression of alien species only existed from the conversations with his elders.
Rong Chuyu pulled him out and said, "Let's see next time. Now it seems that your life will stop on this day."
Several people came and left in a hurry.
Yu An was still thinking about Qiao Xiuer. After thinking for a while, he struggled to push Fu Yunshu away and stammered, "I... I just saw my brother in the garden. I wanted to go find him."
"Your brother?" Fu Yunshu pondered, "Is it Brother Ling Xingcheng?"
Yu An nodded guiltily and took a step forward. "I'm going to find him. You guys go first. Don't wait for me."
After saying that, he turned and ran back.
Fu Yunshu's hand, trying to persuade him to stay, faltered mid-air, and he lowered his eyelids, hiding the disappointment in his eyes. It seemed that in An An's heart, Ling Xingcheng's status was higher than his, because Ling Xingcheng was already an S-rank Judge? Then he could do it too.
Liang Xingsang turned around but didn't see Yu An, "Where's An An?"
Fu Yunshu walked to the front of the team silently, "Ling Xingcheng is in the garden. He went to look for him."
Liang Xingsang frowned, then relaxed after a moment. Although the garden was dangerous, Ling Xingcheng was there and would definitely protect Yu An. Thinking of this, he turned around and left with peace of mind.
There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the Lin family's house. Different from the common surveillance cameras on the market, this type of monitor can detect the mental magnetic field. Once the magnetic field exceeds the set value, an alarm will be triggered.
The adjudicator stationed at the Lin family immediately set out and rushed to the back garden.
In the front hall, Ling Xingcheng, as a senior judge, was fully aware of his subordinates' movements. He looked at the message page on his phone and said, "Your Majesty, how did an alien sneak into your house? The guards in this palace are not up to par."
Lin Huaichen also received the news, but he didn't care much and ignored his sarcastic tone, "The judge has already gone there, why don't you, a sword-bearing guard, go and take a look?"
"Will you give me money?"
"No money."
Ling Xingcheng: "... stingy."
Seeing Ling Xingcheng stand up and walk slowly towards the back garden, Lin Huaichen belatedly remembered Yu An who was not around. His heart suddenly tightened and he asked Yide, "Where is An An now?"
Butler Yide subconsciously pointed to the area where Liang Xingsang and the others had been. He looked closely and saw that there was no child there. Butler Yide panicked instantly and said, "I'll go find them."
He happened to run into Liang Xingsang and others who had returned. When he heard Liang Xingsang say that Yu An was still in the back garden, he was so anxious that he was sweating all over and ran back to tell Lin Huaichen.
Lin Huaichen and Wen Xun's faces changed and they quickly got up and ran out.
At this time, Yu An in the back garden did not know that two teams were rushing towards him. He looked everywhere for Qiao Xuer. Since Solande was an alien, Qiao Xuer should be too.
Zhou Yi led Yu An forward, following the scent. At a corner, Yu An saw another alien species.
This alien species has an ugly appearance and roughly resembles a human. Its skin is a strange blue color, its bulging eyes seem to be falling out of its sockets, and its slender arms are like a stick insect.
It didn't know what kind of attack it had suffered. It curled up in a corner in a daze, making a low, hoarse roar from its throat. The sound was like the lingering gasps of an old man as Gu Ersheng had described.
Yu An was struck by the unsightly appearance and stood there in a daze, his childish voice filled with disbelief, "This... is this Qiao Xiuer?"
Isn’t it beautiful?
Solander: [It's not this, but it has the scent of Joshuel.]
The alien sensed Yu An's presence, suddenly raised its head, and stared at Yu An with its terrifying eyes. Its skinny body trembled even more violently, especially after looking into Yu An's lake blue eyes. It covered its head and let out a sharp scream.
Yu An took two steps back in shock, at a loss, "What's wrong?"
[Smells so good… You smell so good… My head hurts… Ahhhh—]
The monster crawled on the ground, its skinny arms supporting its body, and it crawled slowly and steadily towards Yu An.
Yu An's feet seemed to have taken root and he was unable to move. With fear in his eyes, he watched the horrible monster approaching him.
In the intense panic, a sense of hunger that could not be ignored surged up. Yu An couldn't help swallowing his saliva, but he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit but couldn't.
Suddenly, a clear voice came from above him.
【Baby, eat quickly. 】
Yu An looked up and saw a young man with snow-white skin sitting lazily on the wall under the moonlight. His long legs were swaying gently, his ink-black hair was draped over his shoulders, and his overly loose clothes revealed a large area of snow-white skin.
Qiao Xiu'er's overly gorgeous face looked like a ghost in the dark night, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Yu An was full of pure concern. [Why don't you eat? Don't you like it?]
Yu An stared at him blankly without answering, as if he was completely obsessed with her beauty and couldn't help himself.
Qiao Xiuer jumped down from the wall, walked to Yu An, lifted his chin, and stroked his face. "Hey, you're too thin. You need to eat more."
Yu An suddenly came back to his senses, his cheeks flushed. He just glanced at the alien, and his accelerated heartbeat gradually calmed down. He shook his head in disgust, "Don't eat this."
When you are hungry, you should eat food instead of eating weird things like this.
Qiao Xiuer was extremely stubborn. He pulled the alien by its hair, ignoring its screams, and dragged it in front of Yu An. "No, you must eat obediently to grow up. Be obedient, cub, and eat it."
Yu An resisted and refused to get close to the alien, but Qiao Xuer kept pushing the alien towards him.
Yu An was so close to the alien that he could even see the alien's cracked skin, blood oozing out bit by bit. The disgusting fishy smell rushed into his nose, and Yu An felt so nauseous that he wanted to vomit.
He retched twice, his eyes misty, and shook his head desperately, "No, no!"
He didn't want to eat such disgusting things.
Solander couldn't stand it any longer and stood up, pulling Qiao Xuer's hand away with his tentacles. "If he doesn't want to eat, then don't eat. Why are you forcing him to do it?!"
The back of Qiao Xuer's hand turned red in an instant, and the alien fell to the ground and quickly shrank into the corner.
Qiao Xiuer pursed his lips, his eyes filled with grievance. [Why did you hit me? Solander, I'm very angry and want to kill you.]
Soland's body suddenly stiffened. The Usatos were only kind to their cubs, and there was never any so-called camaraderie among the adult tribesmen.
Qiao Xuer's words sounded like they were spoken in anger, but Solander knew that he really wanted to kill him now.
Joxuel, who was raised by Claude, is second only to him in strength. If Solander faces Joxuel, he probably won't even have the strength to fight back.
Solander appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was frantically begging for help. He didn't care if he would disturb the boss's rest, and desperately pleaded with the other party in the communication channel of Uzatos, "Boss! Boss, save me!"
[Joxuel is going crazy again. He wants to kill me! ]
Solander's speech could be heard by all Uzathoth, and the tribesmen floating far away in the universe watched this farce with an amusing attitude.
[Hey, what did little Solander do to provoke Qiao Xiuer? He's really trying to kill himself.]
Qiao Xiuer said aggrievedly: [It was obviously he who hit me first.]
[Hahahaha, Solander, you actually dared to attack Qiao Xiuer. I admire you. Did you find a burial place and can't wait to die?]
"Unfortunately, our tribe is losing another powerful member. But it's okay, we have our little cub. Solander, go ahead and die without worry~"
[Now it all depends on whether the Boss is asleep. Only He can save you~]
This was the first time that Yu An heard so many voices with different tones talking in his mind, and they were all discussing the familiar Solander.
Yu An instinctively, without needing any instruction, followed the other Uzatos and switched to another communication frequency. "It's because I don't want to eat Ugly Chou's food that Solander and Qiao Xiu'er got into a fight. I'm sorry."
This soft and guilty voice appeared in the Usatos communication area, making all the Usatos stunned for a few seconds. Is that... Zizi?!
[Baby! Baby! Baby! ! ! !]
This earth-shattering cry frightened Yu An greatly. He asked Solander in panic, "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"
Why did you call him in a soul-calling tone?
While Solander was on guard against Qiao Xuer crushing him to death, he replied to Yu An, "It's okay, they are just a little excited."
It has been a long time since Usatos gave birth to a cub. The last one was Solander. The moment he opened his eyes, he spat at his fellow tribesmen who were watching him. In an instant, he turned from a precious cub into a bastard.
Now that Yu An, who has a gentle personality, has arrived, his fellow tribesmen naturally love him very much. If the space of this world could support it, all of his fellow tribesmen would definitely come together.
Yu An was afraid of loud voices, as he would mistakenly think that person was being mean to him. Knowing that his fellow tribesmen had no ill intentions, the little guy became much bolder. [Hello~]
[Baby is good, baby is so good, woooo. 】
[Wait a little longer, we'll be there to pick you up soon! ]
"Why aren't you eating, little one? Is the food Solander and Qiaoxuer brought bad? Are they abusing you?!"
When Qiao Xiuer heard this, he got anxious and said, "I caught something to feed the cub, but Solander wouldn't let him eat it."
As He spoke, He became angrier and reached out to grab Solander. Solander twisted his body to avoid the attack and fell to the ground. [Boss, Boss, come and save me quickly!]
Yu An followed the two anxiously, "Don't hit us, don't hit us, be good, you are not being good!"
Monday happily followed them, wagging his tail, thinking they were playing games. The only sober dog, Xiaobai, flapped his wings, landed on a branch, and watched the scene.
Xiaobai sighed sincerely, "I'm not afraid of too many fools, I'm afraid of too many fools gathering together."
【Joxuel, what are you doing now? 】
A low and majestic voice echoed in Yu An's head. Yu An was stunned and felt inexplicably familiar, as if he had heard this voice somewhere before.
[Boss!] Solander was overjoyed. [Joxuel is chasing me, come and save me quickly!]
Qiao Xiuer was angry, [You hit me first! ]
Therefore, it was absolutely right for Him to attack Solander now. He also ignored Claude's words and persisted in making Solander pay the price.
Claude sighed, his voice filled with helplessness, "Soland, let me come."
There are two types of Uzathoth's descent: the descent of the real body and the descent of the spirit. The latter can temporarily occupy the body of another person, but the ability will be greatly weakened.
Solander was so surprised when he heard this that he immediately gave up control of his body, closed his eyes and fainted.
Yu An was so panicked that he didn't hear the two's plan.
The next second, Claude opened his eyes and was met with a violent mental attack from Joxuel. He waved his small tentacles, and his even more powerful mental power suppressed Joxuel in an instant.
Dust flew up and Qiao Xuer slammed heavily against the wall.
Yu An was so scared that he didn't know who to help. He hesitated for a few seconds between the safe and sound "Solander" and Qiao Xuer who was coughing and holding his chest. He quickly ran to pick up "Solander" and then helped Qiao Xuer up.
Qiao Xuer was in a really miserable state, his fair face was dirty, and he stood up with the support of Yu An's shoulder with a sad face, his eyes were red and misty, and the next second tears fell from his eyes.
Yu An: “……!!!”
Qiao Xiuer didn't care about anything else and just cried when he felt pain. He didn't cry loudly, sobbing aggrievedly, "It's not my fault, why did you hit me, boss?"
Boss?
Yu An looked at the little octopus on his shoulder and asked, "Why does Brother Qiao Xiuer call you Boss?"
Claude looked at the little cub who was so close to him. Little Yu'an's face was red from running around, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and dripped onto the ground.
After this period of care from Lin Huaichen and Wen Xun, Yu An was no longer skinny, and his face had a lot more baby fat. From Claude's angle, he could see the round curve of his profile.
Yu An was waiting for "Solande's" answer when he suddenly felt a touch on his cheek. In his peripheral vision, he saw "Solande's" small tentacles poking his face.
Yu An tilted his head back, smiling with two dimples, "Don't move, it's itchy."
Claude poked his dimples again. They were very soft and he never got tired of poking them.
Claude was only here temporarily and would leave soon. He retracted his tentacles and glanced at Joshuel with a majestic lake-blue gaze. "Leave now. If the child doesn't like the food, that's fine. Don't force him."
Joxuel was quite obedient in front of Claude, lowering his head. "Got it, Boss. I'll find something tastier next time and feed it to the cub!"
If the baby doesn’t eat the food he brings, it must be because it doesn’t taste good. Then he can just find something better to feed the baby!
Qiao Xuer comforted himself, dusted himself off, and swiftly climbed over the wall and left.
Yu An opened his mouth and finally closed it. Solander had caught some very ugly alien species before and fed them to him. He didn't know why they thought he liked to eat alien species.
He obviously prefers eating small cakes, but it's not necessarily that they bring small cakes for him to eat.
Without Qiao Xuer's suppression, the alien species began to stir. There was no way, the child in front of it was so fragrant, so fragrant that it could abandon all reason and just want to bite the child.
Yu An watched in shock as the alien, which had been half-dead in front of Qiao Xuer, suddenly came to life and stood up. The two-meter-tall alien looked down at him, greed clearly visible in its eyes.
Xiaobai flew around the alien and sounded the alarm, "A-level alien, little master, run!"
It's actually A-level?!
Yu An was extremely surprised. He had always thought that this alien species was very weak, otherwise Qiao Xiuer would not have been able to capture it so easily. He wanted to cry but had no tears. "Xiao, Xiaobai, did you make a mistake in the test?"
"No, Xiaobai waited until that alien of unknown level left before testing." Xiaobai patted his chest with his short wings. "Xiaobai will never make a mistake in testing."
He is doomed this time. Yu An has heard from his fathers that A-level alien species are very powerful and they will eat children!
【well……】
Claude watched helplessly as his own cub was cornered by food, feeling a mixture of emotions. Ultastos had never produced a cub like Yu An. He was too obedient, yet too weak.
Just as Claude was about to help Yu An get rid of this troublesome food, the alien suddenly changed. It seemed as if a transparent barrier appeared around it, trapping it inside. The alien roared and crashed into the barrier, but was unable to escape.
The next second, scorching flames ignited and instantly engulfed the alien. The alien let out sharp screams, unable to escape. The high temperature burned its body and its flesh began to burn.
The flames were only confined to the alien. Yu An's eyes reflected the blazing flames. He took a breath and pulled Zhou Yi away from here.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a large group of people hurried over.
Yu An fell into a warm embrace, instantly dispelling the coldness on his body. He looked up and met Wen Xun's worried eyes, "Dad..."
Wen Xun checked his body, "Are you injured anywhere? An An, tell Daddy if you feel uncomfortable anywhere."
Lin Huaichen also looked at him worriedly.
Yu An felt extremely guilty under their gazes. He had woken up his fathers and made them worry.
"I'm fine." Yu An hugged Wen Xun's neck, pressed his face against his, and rubbed it gently. "I'm sorry, Dad."
Wen Xun's heart was relieved. "Don't come to such a dangerous place next time. You are just a child. Don't put yourself in danger. Do you understand?"
They had just met Fu Yunshu and some other children and learned what had happened from them.
After learning that Yu An rushed into the back garden despite knowing that there was an alien species, Wen Xun was anxious and angry. He decided to spank Yu An's little butt to teach this disobedient little guy a lesson.
But when they saw Yu An's face turned pale with fear when facing the terrifying alien species, Wen Xun and Lin Huaichen felt so distressed that they forgot everything in an instant and just wanted to hold the frightened little guy in their arms and comfort him.
Yu An nestled in Wen Xun's arms, watching the tall uncles surround the alien that frightened him. Ling Xingcheng stood in the front and waved his hand. The flames dissipated, revealing the alien that was burned beyond recognition.
It was almost burnt into a crispy chicken, but this alien species was still alive. It stared at Yu An in the crowd with clear purpose, muttering, "Eat a bite, give me a bite..."
Yu An's tense nerves relaxed as he listened to it saying "eat a bite" over and over again, and he even kept telling it that he was hungry.
Yu An rubbed his belly and couldn't help but stare at the alien in a trance. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but this alien smelled so good. He took a bite...
Transparent little tentacles slowly stretched out from Yu An's body, gradually approached the alien, and wrapped around its body. The tiny teeth in the small suction cups bit the alien, not flesh and blood, but its mental power.
Ling Xingcheng saw that the alien species suddenly began to twitch, and its body flattened little by little, like a deflated balloon, until only a pile of bones and loose skin were left.
The alien died inexplicably.
In Wen Xun's arms, Yu An burped and rubbed his stomach again. This time he was not hungry, but felt uncomfortable because he was full.
"Does your stomach feel uncomfortable?" Wen Xun touched his belly and massaged it gently. "Will this make it better?"
Yu An hummed comfortably twice, and sleepiness gradually came over him. His voice was sleepy, "It feels good. Thank you, Dad."
"Go to sleep if you're tired."
Accompanied by Wen Xun's gentle voice, Yu An closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully on his shoulder.
Lin Huaichen looked at Yu An's sleeping face, smoothed away the loose hair covering his forehead, revealing the child's delicate face. The little guy smacked his lips twice as if he was dreaming of something delicious.
"Little greedy cat." Lin Huaichen smiled and pinched his little nose, then said to Wen Xun, "Let me hold you."
Wen Xun's physical strength was not very good, and his arms became sore after holding little Yu An for a while. He did not try to be brave, but gently handed Yu An to Lin Huaichen.
This inevitably disturbed Yu An's sleep. He hummed twice, frowned, and fell into Lin Huaichen's arms, moving back and forth uncomfortably.
Lin Huaichen gently patted Yu An's back, and Yu An gradually calmed down and fell asleep again.
The alien has died, and the Judge took its body away to investigate the cause of its sudden death.
Ling Xingcheng walked to Lin Huaichen, looked at Yu An's sweet sleeping face, snorted, and poked Yu An's little head. The force was so light that Yu An didn't even feel it.
"Little liar, you said you were going to the garden to find your brother. Am I in the garden?"
When Ling Xingcheng learned that Yu An went to the garden to find him, he was stunned. He began to wonder if there was an alien species that could disguise itself as him and deliberately lure Yu An to the garden.
When he saw the A-level alien, he dispelled this guess. The blue beetle is a very common A-level alien. It can only extend its limbs infinitely and has no camouflage ability.
So why did Yu An go to the garden knowing that there were alien species? Ling Xingcheng couldn't figure it out, so he could only wait for Yu An to wake up before asking.
On the way Lin Huaichen was carrying Yu An back, he met Fu Yunshu and several other children. The children surrounded him and looked at Yu An nervously.
Lin Huaichen lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, he just fell asleep."
The children breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Liang Xingsang was the first to stand up and bowed to Lin Huaichen, "I'm sorry, Uncle Lin, I failed to protect my brother."
Liang Xingsang has a very strong sense of responsibility. When he saw Ling Xingchen rushing in from the front hall, his first reaction was to wonder who Ling Xingcheng Yu An saw. Then he thought of the alien in the garden and believed that Yu An was deceived by the alien.
But as the older brother, he did not stop Yu An. He felt extremely guilty and lowered his head.
"It's not your fault, it's your brother who's being naughty." Lin Huaichen patted Liang Xingsang's head and glanced at the other children. "It's very late now. You should go back with your families. The children need to go to bed early."
The waiter was very considerate and called the families of several children over. The parents talked to Lin Huaichen for a few words, understood what had happened, and left with their children.
Director Liang frowned when he heard the alien suddenly died. "Send the body to the base first and let Lao Rong take a look."
A faint voice came from behind him, "I've checked. He died of mental exhaustion."
Director Liang was startled and turned to look at Rong Shili as if he had seen a ghost, "Why are you here too?!"
Rong Shili held Rong Chuyu's hand, looking helpless, "I've been here the whole time. Your son was just playing with my daughter."
Director Liang rubbed his temples and said, "Sorry, I was confused by the noise of those old guys."
"It's okay. Next time the old man comes, just continue to take over. Don't let them bother us."
Director Liang: “…”
Rong Chuyu held her father's hand and suddenly turned her head to look at Fu Yunshu. Fu's parents were also called over. They stood in front of Fu Yunshu with expressionless faces. The atmosphere in this family of three was inexplicably suffocating.
Fu Yunshu quickly said goodbye to Wen Xun, and his parents followed him out. When they reached the alley outside the Lin family's house, Fu Yunshu turned around and faced his parents, "Xueshe, let's go."
A slender, snow-white snake crawled out from Fu's mother's neck. In an instant, Fu's parents fell to the ground, and their lives or deaths were unknown.
The crystal clear little white snake was covered in blood. It swung its tail in disgust and said in human language, "I don't like this method of control. It makes me smell fishy and disgusting."
Fu Yunshu's eyes dimmed as he wrapped the little snow snake with a handkerchief and stuffed it into his pocket. "I'll do it myself next time."
The moment Fu Yunshu turned around, he saw Rong Chuyu at the alley entrance. Rong Chuyu ignored his stiff expression and squatted down beside Fu's parents. "Are they dead?"
"...No, I'll wake up soon."
Rong Chuyu noticed his nervousness and smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry, I'm not my father. I have no reverence for human life. Even if you really kill them, I won't have a problem with it."
Fu Yunshu looked at her coldly, "What do you want to do?"
Rong Chuyu smiled faintly: "I want to follow Uncle Wen Xun as a researcher for the CAF project, but I need a test subject. You will help me, right?"
…
Claude hid in Yu An's pocket, poked out his little head to look at Lin Huaichen and Wen Xun. He could see from Solander's memory that they were genuinely kind to Yu An.
Even though he knew that Yu An was not a human, he remained calm and loved him as his own child.
There is no such competent elder in Usatos. Claude knows the virtues of his people very well. It is a great favor that they did not take Yu An to kill and burn.
Claude was very relieved about Lin Huaichen and Wen Xun and was about to leave. [Solander, change back.]
[……]No reply.
[…Soland?]
In the temple, Solander only had time to open his eyes for a second before the powerful force in Claude's body overwhelmed him. Poor Solander had no power to resist and fainted.
Without getting a response from Solander, Claude was unable to leave this body and was sent back to the room by Lin Huaichen and Yu An.
Ling Xingcheng handled the outside matters, while Lin Huaichen and Wen Xun took care of Yu An wholeheartedly. Wen Xun went to get pajamas for Yu An, while Lin Huaichen held the sleeping Yu An in his arms and wiped his body with a wet towel.
Claude crawled out of the laundry basket, stood at the bathroom door, watched Lin Huaichen bathe his child, and secretly learned.
When he first raised Joshuel, he simply grabbed his tentacles, swung them in the water twice, and then picked them up and shook them clean. Why did he actually need to wipe the water clean with a soft towel? Claude said he had never seen such a thing in his life.
Lin Huaichen carried the naked little Yu An out and gently placed him on the bed. Wen Xun came over with cat-shaped pajamas, put them on Yu An, and covered him with a small quilt.
During this time, Wen Xun and Lin Huaichen noticed the little octopus's burning gaze, but they had always kept their distance from him, and did not care about "Solande's" abnormality tonight. They turned on the small lamp beside the bed and slowly closed the door.
After they left, Claude crawled to Yu An's pillow and looked at his sleeping face. After a while, he also felt sleepy and fell asleep leaning against Yu An.
Solander's body was too weak to bear His power, so he often felt sleepy.
The next morning, Yu An woke up and opened his eyes. What he saw was a little octopus sleeping on his pillow. The little octopus wrapped itself with its tentacles, like a round ball.
As he watched, a food popped into Yu An's mind: octopus balls.
“Puff—”
Yu An made himself laugh and covered his mouth to prevent the laughter from escaping, so as not to disturb "Solande"'s sleep. He moved quietly, went to the bathroom to wash up and change his clothes. After he finished everything, "Solande" was still sleeping soundly.
Solander seemed to like sleeping very much today. Yu An observed this because every time he woke up before, Solander had already woken up early. He had never seen him sleep in.
Today is the first time that "Solander" stays in bed.
Maybe he was tired last night, Yu An nodded, did not disturb "Solande", and went downstairs alone.
Last night's grand dinner was over, and the Lin family manor had returned to its usual solemnity and peace. The family members were already eating in the restaurant, and were very surprised to see Yu An wake up.
Ruoyi held a fried dough stick in her mouth, picked up Yu An and placed him next to her. Aunt Liu went to the kitchen and served Yu An a bowl of porridge. Yu An thanked Aunt Liu before eating with a small spoon.
Ruoyi: "Your father said you wouldn't wake up until after 8:30. I thought I wouldn't be able to see you before I left."
Yu An looked at her and asked reluctantly, "Auntie, are you leaving today?"
"Yes, I've already missed a day of work. If I miss another day, our secret will be ruined." Ruoyi bit a piece of bun in frustration. "Oh, I don't want to go to work."
Yu An couldn't understand the hardship of being a social animal. He only knew that his aunt was unhappy. He offered his favorite milk to Ruoyi and said, "Aunt, drink some milk~"
Ruoyi took a sip and gave it back to him, "Wine is still delicious."
Yu An was curious: "What does wine taste like?"
Ruoyi glanced at Lin Huaichen and Wen Xun, covered her mouth, and whispered to him, "It's very delicious. After all, a good drink can make all your worries go away. Wine is definitely a good thing. I'll secretly take you to drink it next time."
Yu An had only drunk milk and had never drunk alcohol. "But my dad said that you have to be eighteen to drink alcohol. I'm only three years old, so I can't drink."
Seeing his serious expression, Ruoyi smiled and said, "That's fine. I'll take you out for drinks when you turn eighteen."
Wen Xun saw the aunt and niece whispering to each other, and the smile on Ruoyi's face. He knew without thinking that they were definitely not talking about anything good. He nodded at the table and said, "Ruoyi, An'an, hurry up and eat."
Yu An and Ruoyi separated their heads, which were put together, and drank the porridge in their bowls quietly.
Everyone was leaving today, so after dinner, Yu An ran outside to see them off. As soon as he walked out of the Lin family's gate, he saw two teams confronting each other aggressively.
One of the groups was obviously foreigners, with different hair and eye colors. They were holding weapons and speaking an incomprehensible foreign language.
Lin Huaichen frowned, "What are you doing?"
"They're here to pick me up!" Ruoyi jumped out. "They're probably afraid I'll reveal the secrets of Country A's base, so they came to pick me up. It's just perfect. If I leave with them, I won't have to go through all the trouble of sneaking back."
Wen Xun was shocked. "Did you sneak here?"
"Yeah, otherwise the research institute wouldn't let me leave, and I almost swam across the Pacific Ocean."
Wen Xun: "...Then you should leave with them. I don't want to go to customs to get you."
This group of foreigners did come to pick up Ruoyi, and they left without stopping after getting her.
After the relatives left, Yu An and his family of three also left Kyoto and returned to their villa in Blue Moon Bay. Life returned to normal, as if everything that happened that night was just a fleeting dream.
Wen Xun still often brought Yu An to the base, but rarely left him in Fu Yunshu's small room. Instead, he left him in Fu Yin's botanical garden. Liang Xingsang, Gu Yixing and Gu Ersheng were all in the botanical garden.
The botanical garden has swings, slides, tree houses and everything else. At first glance, it really looks like a nursery.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Yu An is already eight years old. The little guy with gradually developing facial features is becoming more and more beautiful. The child who grew up in the love of his family has a bit more confidence and liveliness between his eyebrows.
He still followed Wen Xun to the base in the morning, returned home in the evening, and stayed in the botanical garden all day to study or play with his friends.
One afternoon, he and Gu Ersheng carried a box of fruits to the research area. The iron gate of the botanical garden slowly opened. Yu An carried the box carefully, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of a shivering person curled up in the corner.
Yu An signaled to Gu Ersheng with his eyes, and the two of them put down the boxes and slowly walked up to the man.
The boy, who looked like he had just reached adulthood, covered his head with his hands and sobbed continuously. Yu An and Gu Ersheng exchanged a glance, and the latter gently kicked the man with his foot, "Hey, who are you?"
"ah--!"
The boy screamed in fear and looked up at them in panic. Seeing that there were only two children opposite him, he breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall to catch his breath.
Then, he thought of something and hurriedly grabbed the corner of Yu An's clothes, raised his tear-stained face, and said, "There are monsters everywhere here, all of them are man-eating monsters... Do you know where the exit is? Take me away, okay?"
