Chapter 05 Cub
In fact,
even the Supreme God finds it difficult to judge the trajectory of fate.
Fu Jiao was awakened by the piercing sound of police sirens.
Her head hurt for no reason, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a young store manager with a mechanical crab on her shoulder, mumbling, and took off her coat and put it on her. The store manager had furry, trembling cotton candy-like cat ears and round cat pupils on her head. Behind the young store manager
, there were several police... police flying ships flying towards him, parked in all directions on the roadside.
The red and blue lights were particularly bright, illuminating half of the block.
There were various suspended cars parked on both sides of the street, and the electronic tracks running between the high-rise buildings were glowing faintly. The transparent advertising screens in the air above the buildings were playing the latest popular optical computer projections. The prosperous and extremely sci-fi scene fell directly into Fu Jiao's eyes.
Looking further back, above the sky was an invisible force field that wrapped and protected the entire main star.
It seemed that a huge starship had entered the M31 galaxy, and the force field was rippling slightly, like a peaceful water surface being destroyed.
Countless prosperous blue and illusory lights belonging to the information link network lingered above this planet, and also coiled around and connected to other more distant and larger galaxies. It was completely different from the dilapidated, gray, rotten wasteland world in his memory, where sulfuric acid and dust were floating in the air.
The main city of the M31 galaxy was usually peaceful, but now several medium-sized police flying boats were dispatched, and the sirens sounded throughout the streets. The silence of the dawn was suddenly broken by the shrill sirens, and the red and blue flashing signal lights circled back and forth, making a huge noise.
Fu Jiao obviously woke up too late.
When she woke up, a blue electromagnetic isolation zone had been set up ten meters away. People outside the isolation zone were moving, and passers-by around were looking inside the isolation zone. Dozens of eyes were on her, which made her feel stressed.
Court officials in black uniforms were standing in front of the isolation zone to disperse the passers-by who were surrounding her. Some were carrying medical boxes with red crosses on them from medium-sized flying ships and rushing towards her.
In the crowd, she even saw someone dressed as a sophisticated reporter, who was exaggerating and saying something to several cameras flying in the air.
"......Today, the main city of the M31 galaxy received a report from the enthusiastic masses, saying that a lost and unconscious baby cub was found on the side of xx street......"
"Could it be that the baby-trafficking thief gang that was wiped out by the Inspectorate Headquarters since the last century has reappeared in the Federation? The front-line reporter below will take you closer......"
"......"
Fu Jiao: "?"
She didn't seem to understand why she was curled up on the street like this. The black-haired girl subconsciously tugged at her snow-white robe, looking around with a slightly dazed look.
In the chaos, the first person to rush over was the young shop owner with cat ears on his head.
"Are you awake? Are you cold, hot, thirsty, or hungry? Don't worry, I've called the police!"
Lillian pulled her clothes up again, her face anxious and righteous: "Don't be afraid, this is a safe zone, no one will hurt you again!"
Fu Jiao was encouraged by her in a daze, and the expression on her face became more and more inexplicable.
No, where did this come from?
Is this still the civilization she created?
This, this...?
The sky of the main star of the M31 galaxy has already shown a fish belly white, as if it is a sign of daybreak. Several fully automatic medical robots emerged from the Red Cross medical box, carrying various instruments and drove to her, and began to tie her up skillfully and neatly.
Then, the robots that seemed to be only up to her calves exerted their strength and suddenly lifted her onto the stretcher.
Fu Jiao: "???!"
She finally reacted this time, stretched out her hand and grabbed Lillian's sleeve, and said helplessly: "Wait, I didn't..."
Perhaps because she hadn't used the language of this world for too long, her voice was hoarse and the sound she made sounded a little strange.
Lillian was slightly stunned and lowered her head to look at her clothes that were grabbed.
At this moment, from the perspective of this young store manager, this poor cub who was suspected to have been abducted by star thieves and finally woke up had a pair of beautiful golden eyes. At this moment, he was only wrapped in a simple white robe, and his ordinary but inexplicably approachable face was raised, as if with a little pleading.
The plea must have come out of her own mind at this moment.
The protective desire of the good citizens of the Justice Federation instantly exploded. Lillian grabbed her hand tightly and said righteously: "Don't be afraid! You are safe! The Inspectorate will definitely protect you well!"
Fu Jiao: "..."
Fu Jiao: "No..."
The small robots on the stretcher were nimble and carried her into the police flying ship parked not far away. Several female police officers who were responsible for recording time and location also ran over and surrounded her to check her physical condition.
The reporters and anchors outside were even more excited when they saw this. They held cameras with electromagnetic isolation tapes and shouted: "Awake! Awake! The cub is awake! Let's take a closer look..."
Those floating cameras were obviously very advanced. In order to ensure the privacy of the cub, the female police officer closest to Fu Jiao took off her coat and covered her face.
The female police officer was very heroic, but she had a pair of furry rabbit ears on her head, which was very contrasting. There was an extra badge on the chest of her uniform compared to other police officers. She should be the leader of this team.
"The cub is not seriously injured, send it back to the Central District Inspection Bureau first, and send a robot to evacuate the surrounding people..."
She adjusted the angle and blocked the camera with her back, while instructing her subordinates in an orderly manner: "By the way, don't forget to thank the enthusiastic citizens, send them a banner..."
"No, listen to me, I'm really not a cub..."
Fu Jiao struggled to sit up and explain again, but was pushed down by the female police officer again.
"The cub is not very stable, send him to the flying ship to rest first... Hey, lift him up quickly, and prepare some snacks later."
There was a lot of noise around, and no one paid attention to Fu Jiao's difficult speech. The smart robots got the order and stuffed the stretcher into the medium-sized police flying ship.
Fu Jiao twisted and turned and finally untied his hands from the fixed straps, watching the flying ship's porthole slowly closing. The great Supreme God wrapped in a white robe jumped off the stretcher, watching the flying ship slowly preparing to take off, and slapped the porthole in disbelief.
Is anyone listening to her?
What is going on?
She pressed her face against the porthole, watching the flying ship slowly take off. The Supreme God who had just landed had forgotten how to speak this civilized language, and the rest cabin of the flying ship was fully automated and unmanned, so no one could hear Fu Jiao's miserable screams.
Lillian below breathed a sigh of satisfaction, watching the face of the cub appearing from the porthole of the gradually rising flying ship.
Ah, this cub looks very excited, is it because it has finally been rescued?
The young store manager stood below, smiling and waving goodbye to the Supreme God who looked no different from a cub in the flying ship.
Of course, she didn't realize it at that time.
After only a few minutes of contact with Fu Jiao, the originally broken mechanical crab on her shoulder seemed to have been repaired, and it had been completely renewed without knowing when.
*
The huge and magnificent starship slowly and silently drove into the M31 galaxy.
In the special lounge inside the starship, the treatment cabin filled with sedative fluid beeped for a communication request.
The silver-white cabin door automatically opened when it sensed the therapist's intention, and the slender white arm stretched out of the cabin and clicked on the communication linked to the optical computer.
The cool liquid flowed smoothly and powerfully down the muscles, and the wet snow-white long hair was almost casually scattered behind the spine. The man's eyes, which were always sharp and cold, still had an indescribable deep red color. He seemed to have just woken up from some kind of hallucination. He slowly sat up with his bony hands pressing the edge of the treatment cabin.
He was not wearing his usual military uniform, and the water droplets flowed from his extremely spectacular body, sliding into his delicate clavicle and abdomen.
"..."
On the communication screen, the adjutant was obviously stunned for a moment and lowered his voice: "Did I... disturb your rest?"
After the meeting yesterday, Lord Deng immediately returned to the Inspectorate headquarters to handle official business, and then transferred the headquarters starship to the M31 galaxy where the meteor shower originated. The intensity of the work for a whole week without sleep and non-stop rotation was difficult even for the first-generation lord to bear.
In addition, Deng Baoying's old illness has become more frequent in recent years, and he has to go to the treatment cabin almost every few weeks. In order to ensure work efficiency and quality, he would also take the initiative to go into the cabin to stabilize his mood.
This is something that everyone in the Inspectorate knows.
On this side, Deng Baoying seemed a little tired. He pinched his nose to calm down, and then raised his head lightly: "It's okay, talk."
The adjutant's original tribe is snakes, and he is more sensitive to emotions. Even through the screen, he can sense that Master Deng is not in a good mood, and is even vaguely in the irritability and anxiety of the onset of the disease.
The young adjutant swallowed his saliva, but still reported truthfully: "As you said, the fluctuation of abnormal life forms did descend on the M31 galaxy..."
Deng Baoying paused while massaging his temples, and then he raised his eyes lightly.
There was a faint flash of ecstasy and eagerness in his eyes, but it was not clear.
"But whether it is our Inspectorate or the special military base led by Lord Lin next door... they have not found any traces of abnormal life forms in the M31 galaxy. No, rather than saying there are no traces, it is better to say that..."
The adjutant seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said: "The fluctuation of that life form, for no reason, without any signs... disappeared." "
Disappeared?" Deng Baoying repeated lightly with his platinum eyelashes lowered.
"Yes, it disappeared. No existing equipment, even the latest equipment specially moved by the research institute, can capture its traces."
"We even suspect... the fluctuations caused by the life form are illusions caused by equipment errors."
After the adjutant finished speaking, he felt that even through a layer of light screen, the temperature in the opposite room had dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Deng Baoying lowered his eyes and did not say anything, but paused for a long time and asked again: "What, nothing was found?"
"Nothing was found."
The platinum-haired griffon stopped talking and just nodded to show that he knew.
Although he looked disappointed, he was not surprised. He just put his wet long hair behind his head.
——Although subordinates should not make unwarranted comments on their superiors’ private affairs, the adjutant has always been very curious about Deng Baoying’s hairstyle.
Lord Deng usually does things in a swift and powerful manner, and often personally commands on the border battlefield. He has never liked fancy and tedious things. In addition, he is the first generation lord who has fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He should not have kept such beautiful but complicated long hair that even affects his fighting skills.
At the celebration banquet a few years ago, Lord Lin had hugged his shoulders after getting drunk, and teased him with a blushing face and a smile, saying that none of these lords knew why Deng Baoying kept his hair long. Deng Baoying just pushed her away calmly without saying anything more.
He heard that Lord Deng Baoying was waiting for someone.
The adjutant didn't know who Deng Baoying was waiting for, but he seemed to be able to guess that person was very important to Deng Baoying.
Very important, so important that it was closely related to the mental state of the griffon and even the long-standing hysteria.
Even this unprecedented and rare meteor shower that shocked the four lords to hold a meeting overnight.
The life form that landed here silently in the meteor shower but disappeared in a weird way.
It's all related to this person.
...Who is it?
The adjutant lowered his head and dared not say a word. The treatment cabin was silent for a while. Deng Baoying then slowly spoke: "Don't worry. For the time being, we will secretly search the M31 galaxy and don't alarm the people in the black market."
"These days, official business and meetings will continue as usual."
"Yes."
The adjutant responded in a low voice, and then hesitated: "The district chief and the director of the galaxy inspectorate branch in the M31 galaxy have heard the news of your leap here... Socializing may be inevitable these days. Sir, do you need me to help you..."
"...No need."
Deng Baoying seemed to be very tired, and his voice was much hoarse than usual.
The adjutant was still waiting for his next arrangement, but he saw him slowly stretch out his hand and turn off the light screen for communication.
When the light screen went out, the adjutant could only hear the other party's cold and gloomy voice coming from the slowly darkening black screen. It sounded like an extremely tired tombstone that was holding endless boiling magma but could only remain silent in its desire.
"Let's leave it at that for now," he lowered his eyes calmly, "I've waited for seven thousand years... it doesn't matter if I wait for a while."
