Chapter 89
Frightened by the sound, Song Yuxing came back to his senses instantly.
She pursed her lips tightly, and the little whale, who had only belatedly realized what was happening, immediately pounced forward.
"Xingxing, are you okay?"
Its tone was anxious and its expression was full of worry. It stared at Song Yuxing closely, afraid that she had really encountered an accident.
Song Yuxing shook her head. "I was just invaded by the Nightmare Clan?"
She was shocked and confused.
When did the Nightmare Clan sneak into the paradise? How come she didn't know?
The little whale nodded at her, flapped its tail forward, and pulled out an invisible nightmare creature from somewhere.
After being hit by it, the Nightmare Clan collapsed to the ground with foam at the mouth, looking like they had lost all their consciousness.
The little whale vented its anger for a moment, then rubbed Song Yuxing's finger obediently. "Yes, you were just invaded by this Nightmare Clan, and you were almost parasitized by it."
As it spoke, it glared at the Nightmare Clan fiercely, and even felt unsatisfied as it slapped its fish tail towards it again.
The Nightmare Clan, which was already lying like Ge You, bounced up again under this force, drew a graceful arc in the air, and fell powerlessly in front of Song Yuxing.
Song Yuxing was silent for a while. She picked up the Nightmare Clan creature and examined it carefully, while the little whale was still finishing off the beast.
"This Nightmare Clan probably sneaked in during the recent battle. I just checked it, and the power within it is very strong. It must be the instigator of this Nightmare Clan's attack."
The little whale can feel the strength of each Nightmare. The strength of the Nightmare is related to the size of the space fragments in their bodies. The stronger they are, the larger the space fragments will be.
The figure of the Nightmare Clan member killed by a fish tail slowly dissipated, leaving behind a palm-sized piece of space debris.
This was the first time Song Yuxing had seen such a large piece of space debris.
Perhaps to demonstrate its own strength, this space fragment also has a faint golden hue. If you don't look carefully, you will occasionally see a flash of black lines in the golden light.
Somehow this black line feels dangerous.
Song Yuxing didn't want to put the fragment into her backpack, so she took it in her hand and asked Little Whale to help check whether there were any other members of the Nightmare Clan who had sneaked into the park.
In order to make up for the mistake just now, the little whale searched carefully, not leaving out even a strand of hair. After getting the exact result, he told her that there was no Nightmare Clan inside.
Song Yuxing felt relieved. She raised her head and looked towards the sky above the Boundless Realm, a smile on her face. "Mastermind, thank you for what you did just now."
She could tell that the voice that reminded her just now was the voice of the main brain. If she had not been in the Boundless Realm, she might not even know that she was being parasitized by the Nightmare Clan.
But she always had a question in her mind.
As far as she knew, the Nightmare Clan could only parasitize by touching the body. She appeared in the Boundless Realm in the form of a spirit body, so how could she be parasitized?
Song Yuxing was full of doubts when the voice of the main brain rang out.
"You're welcome. It's my duty to protect every owner of the paradise in the Boundless Realm."
The main brain's voice was very gentle. When the little whale learned that the host was saved by the main brain, he was so moved that he dropped his little pearl.
"Brain, I'll never call you stupid again. Even though you're a novice at gaming, you're surprisingly reliable."
Song Yuxing and the main brain fell silent.
Sometimes I really don’t know whether the little whale can speak. He speaks sweetly when facing her, but becomes as silent as a stone when he reaches the main brain.
Song Yuxing silently covered the little whale's mouth, and the little whale looked at her in confusion.
She smiled: "What you said makes sense, don't say anymore."
Feeling a murderous aura, the little whale stopped shaking its tail from side to side and became as obedient and quiet as a sculpture.
Feeling that it no longer had the power to speak, Song Yuxing and the main brain breathed a sigh of relief. In the distant space, the main brain's gaze fell on the space fragment in her hand.
"I advise you to purify this space fragment with your mental power before using it."
Song Yuxing raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why?"
The Mastermind said, "Because this Nightmare once invaded someone else's body, you've killed it now, but the spiritual power of that person remains on the spatial fragment. If you use it directly on Paradise, it will be like creating a passage for the Nightmare to come and go. You will then face an endless stream of Nightmares."
Hearing the words of the main brain, Song Yuxing was shocked and felt that the space fragments in his hand were like a hot potato.
This incident completely changed her view of the Nightmare Clan.
Before, in her eyes, the Nightmare Clan was a kind of unintelligent existence, but today's attack by the Nightmare Clan and the last time Lu Zhi was parasitized had changed her concept.
The Nightmare Clan is intelligent.
If they had no intelligence, they would not find ways to parasitize humans.
This time she let her guard down, otherwise how could a member of the Nightmare Clan be able to enter the body of the Paradise Master.
It’s a wake-up call for myself.
The defense line against the Nightmare Clan in his heart was raised again. Song Yuxing then asked the main brain about why he could be parasitized even though he appeared in the Boundless Realm as a spiritual body.
The mastermind replied, "Because the Nightmare Clan actually attacks the spirit body, as long as your spirit body is expelled, your body will naturally become an empty shell. They have a unique way of communicating with each other. At that time, they only need to send a Nightmare Clan member to secretly occupy your body, and naturally no one will know."
Having said this, the main brain paused, and before she could react, it dropped another bombshell, "And don't you think the timing of the Nightmare Clan's attack this time is a coincidence?"
These words were suggestive, and Song Yuxing suddenly fell silent.
Her silence was naturally self-evident.
To be honest, the Nightmare Clan's attack this time was indeed a coincidence. They had never come before, but they chose to come at a time when public opinion on the Star Network was most unfavorable to her. This made her feel that something was wrong.
But without actual evidence, she could only guess in her mind at best.
But unexpectedly, the mastermind actually took the initiative to mention this matter.
Thinking of this, Song Yuxing's heart moved. She asked tentatively, "So, this Nightmare Clan that just tried to parasitize me is related to this public opinion?"
The Mastermind didn't answer, "Now that Paradise is alright, you can go out and look at the Star Network."
Song Yuxing nodded thoughtfully, and the moment she exited the Boundless Realm, she automatically connected to the Star Network. She opened her homepage and found a new entry appeared on the hot search list.
#Avino founder Huang Yicheng dies#
Song Yuxing raised her eyebrows in surprise and clicked on the entry. The news headline at the beginning indicated the time of the man's death.
Breaking News! Aveeno founder Huang Yicheng passed away suddenly due to illness fifteen minutes ago.
Fifteen minutes ago, wasn’t that when the little whale beat the nightmare creature to death?
The content of the news was nothing interesting, it just gave a brief introduction to the man's life, but the comments below were quite interesting.
[Huh? How did he die? Wasn't he still arguing with us a few hours ago?]
[Shocked, is this world so fantastical? ]
[Oh my god, he's really dead? What's going on? This death seems so strange.]
…
Everyone was talking about it. After all, he was the founder of a large company. Once he died, the company's stock price plummeted instantly.
Song Yuxing also sent a message to Hua Sisi asking her about the specific situation. Hua Sisi did reply to her, but the content was very brief. She probably meant that their company was now trying to find a way to acquire Avino, and all the employees were busy.
Song Yuxing didn't bother her anymore, but returned to the Boundless Realm again.
Although the star network was also created and managed by the main brain, only in the vast world could she relax completely.
She looked up at the sky of the Boundless Realm and suddenly said, "So, the founder of that Huang Something has long been invaded by the Nightmare Clan?"
Although it was a question of doubt, there was a hint of certainty in his tone.
She stood there waiting for a long time, but no one answered her.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent." Song Yuxing raised the corners of her lips slightly.
Still no one spoke.
I understand.
Song Yuxing accepted her own guess. Although it seemed that nothing had happened on the surface, her heart was actually already in turmoil.
When she looked at the message Huang Yichen had sent before, her mindset had changed.
No wonder he was targeting me for no apparent reason. It turned out that the core had been replaced.
Recalling what Lin Wanxin had told her before, that the higher-ups had proposed using Lin Wanxin as an experimental subject during a meeting, she instantly understood.
Many people in the upper echelons have had their bodies invaded.
This thought flashed through her mind, and she connected all the things that had happened in the past.
At the same time, cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
The upper echelons of the Federation were invaded by the Nightmare Clan. If this news were to be released to the outside world, it is easy to imagine how much turmoil it would cause.
It could even destroy the peace the Federation has worked so hard to maintain.
How could she, the owner of a shabby paradise, even know about such things?
Song Yuxing wished she could turn back time and slap herself for asking too many questions, telling her to shut up.
Her expression was unpredictable. Little Whale had no idea what she was thinking. She looked like a chameleon, so he asked curiously, "Xingxing, what are you thinking about?"
Song Yuxing gritted her teeth and said, "I feel like I'm on a pirate ship and can't get off."
She told Little Whale about her guess and finally sneered, "The Mastermind deliberately let me know this."
After hearing her words, the little whale understood the whole story. It asked in confusion: "But why did the brain let you know this?"
Song Yuxing held it in her arms and rubbed its head randomly, and the little whale let her rub it obediently.
After she felt a little better, she finally answered its question. "My guess is that it discovered that someone important had been invaded, so it wanted me to inform them. Am I right, Mastermind?"
Silent wind blew through the silent space. After a long silence, the main brain finally replied, "You are right."
Listening to the conversation between the two, the little whale felt that its CPU was about to burn out. It tried to keep up with the pace of the two, but in the end it collapsed helplessly in the palm of Song Yuxing's hand.
Forget it, using its brain is just too much effort for it.
Finally hearing the voice of the Mastermind again, Song Yuxing said calmly, "Now you know how to speak out?"
Mastermind: "...You are very smart."
Its praise is really dry. You can tell it never praises anyone. It sounds like it is saying "you have a grudge against me".
Song Yuxing didn't care. She just wanted to know what the mastermind wanted her to do.
When asked this question, the main brain became even more silent. After a long while, it said a name with a hint of embarrassment.
When he heard the name, Song Yuxing raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Because of Huang Yicheng's death, public opinion became chaotic again, and the man's previous criticism of China Paradise also became a hot topic.
Everyone was discussing and arguing about whether they were Chinese or not.
It wasn't until around nine o'clock that evening that someone sent a message.
It was Qin Shengmo, who updated the content using his personal account.
Qin Shengmo: I've been busy with experiments all day and just got a break. I only learned about this after my assistant explained it to me. Since this matter is also related to me, I'd like to clarify that I have collaborated with Professor Shen Xia on research, so I am aware of her findings. Also, I saw someone who has since passed away claim that the Federation hasn't found any data on Chinese civilization in the past few hundred years, and therefore that Chinese civilization is false. Regarding this issue, I'd like to explain that 90 years ago, during an excavation at the Institute, some fragments of data related to Chinese civilization were unearthed, though not in large quantities. Due to special circumstances at the time, these fragments were placed in the deepest part of the Institute. Now, with the help of Miss Song Yuxing, some of the data has been deciphered. I'm sharing this information publicly, hoping it will be helpful to Miss Song and Ms. Shen Xia.
Attached to his speech were several fragments about China, the incomplete parts of which had already been deciphered by Song Yuxing.
Everyone read it quickly and felt as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Who is Qin Shengmo? He is the number one researcher in the institute and a big shot. In just a few years since he joined the institute, he has launched many good things, making the lives of the people in the Federation much better.
Such a person has over 4 billion followers on his homepage. In the minds of the people, he is the authority itself.
With his endorsement, no matter who else comes, it will be useless.
[Okay, okay, you said there was no hard evidence, but this evidence just popped up on its own. Who in my family understands? It feels so good to get slapped in the face.]
[After looking at it, it seems that these fragments are just a few sentences connected together. At first glance, it is hard to understand. I have to read the notes below to barely understand.]
[I don't understand +1. Although I don't understand these sentences, I always feel that they are beautifully written and have a very touching feeling.]
[Who knows what these sentences are? Mr. Qin, can you explain them to me?]
…
As if he saw everyone's confusion, Qin Shengmo forwarded his own content.
Qin Shengmo: This is Chinese poetry. I didn't understand it at first, but I thought it was beautiful. Once I understood its meaning, I realized the poets of Chinese civilization were truly remarkable. // A busy day of experimenting...
Those who got the answers were not satisfied with it. Some people even translated the poems into vernacular word by word. When they saw that a few short lines of words turned out to be a long paragraph, everyone couldn't help but be amazed.
[Okay, the translation is indeed beautiful. I'm beginning to understand what Mr. Qin is thinking.]
[I just saw Mr. Qin reply to someone saying that these poems are very likely to appear in the history section. Great, I'm already looking forward to it.]
[We bow down to our Chinese ancestors. How did they come up with such a brilliant poem?]
[The above is so bold. How can you be sure that you are Chinese? What if you are not?]
[No matter what, I am Chinese. I am Chinese, lululu! ]
…
Public opinion quietly turned again. Seeing this, Song Yuxing sent a message to Qin Shengmo.
[007: Thank you.]
A rabbit emoticon was quickly sent over.
Qin Shengmo: You're welcome. If you really want to thank me, how about giving me some tickets to the park for three days later?
In the lounge, the man typed this sentence with a smile.
He knew that T Paradise would open a new section in three days, and he had just finished an experiment and was given a week-long vacation.
And because he was too busy recently, his breakdown value increased again. No matter what, he had to go again.
So this time, even if Song Yuxing didn't contact him, he would take the initiative to find her.
The man came back to his senses from his thoughts and when he looked at his laptop again, five tickets to the theme park appeared in the chat box, along with an additional VIP room at the Guanghan Palace Hotel.
The smile on his face grew wider, and Qin Shengmo quickly sent back a rabbit thank you emoticon with his hands.
Song Yuxing paused for a moment, and when she sent the message again, she also sent a cute rabbit emoticon.
It seems that he just went to look for emoticons.
Qin Shengmo's lips curled up slightly. As expected, it was a pleasure to get along with Miss 007. The fatigue of the day was relieved a lot by these few short exchanges.
He unconsciously clicked on the chat box between the two of them, thinking that next time if he felt very tired, he would have to find Miss 007 to communicate.
After calming down the public opinion, Song Yuxing had a good sleep. At around eight o'clock the next morning, as usual, she was woken up by the butler robot.
As usual, the housekeeper brought her a glass of warm water and saw her standing in front of the dressing mirror, her eyebrows slightly raised.
"Master, are you going out?" asked the butler robot.
Song Yuxing nodded. She was wearing a black short-sleeved top and a short skirt, looking very cool.
Seeing her getting ready to leave, the housekeeper put down his cup, his eyes full of disapproval.
"Although the planet has a thermostat, it's December after all. December here is still colder than other months. Master, if you want to go out, you'd better put on a coat."
As the butler robot spoke, it came to the wardrobe and picked out a black leather jacket for her, with a firmness in its eyes that would not be refused.
Her housekeeper robot is hard to compromise on when it comes to her dressing.
Song Yuxing was silent for a moment, then quietly put on the coat it gave her.
As we were walking downstairs, she asked casually, "It's almost New Year's, is there anything you want?"
The butler robot looked at her in confusion, "New Year, what is this?"
It searched its mind but could not find any event related to "New Year" in the Federation's previous records.
It was rare that there was something that a robot didn't know, so the housekeeper tilted his head and looked at her innocently.
Song Yuxing paused, and then she realized what she had just said.
She rubbed her brows and patiently explained, "This is a Chinese custom. The new year is coming soon. Is there anything you want?"
There are no festivals in this world, but the calendar is the same as that of China, dividing the year into 12 months, except that there is no distinction between seasons. Due to technological reasons, every planet has almost spring all year round.
This time the butler robot understood. It tilted its head and thought for a moment before saying, "Can you change the oil for me?"
It pointed to the back of its neck, where the robot recharged its energy.
"I don't like the taste of current motor oil. I'd rather have chili-flavored motor oil."
It turns out that robots also have likes and dislikes.
Song Yuxing readily agreed, "No problem, then you can buy whatever you like and choose the flavor you like."
The butler robot nodded and smiled, "I wish you a safe journey, Master."
After leaving home, Song Yuxing boarded the aircraft she had bought some time ago, pressed the autopilot button, and after flying for about twenty minutes, she arrived at her destination.
She is also the person that the mastermind asked to help with treatment.
The heroine of this world - Yin Lingyue.
Song Yuxing was a little surprised that she didn't expect to have an intersection with the heroine of the novel.
The last time the two met was probably on a starship heading to the main planet.
Song Yuxing recalled the plot of the original book with difficulty and found that this period of time was exactly when the heroine was injured in college and was slandered, so she took leave and returned to her hometown to rest for a while. This was also the period when the misunderstanding between the hero and heroine was the deepest.
After this, the heroine in the original book changed her personality drastically, from being strong at the beginning to suddenly becoming weak.
She didn't think there was anything wrong when she first saw it, but now when she thinks about it again, she can taste something.
Yin Lingyue lives in the most chaotic area of the D-level living area, which is considered a slum. But even in such an environment, she was able to get into university with great perseverance. You can imagine how talented she is.
Ignoring the messy garbage around, Song Yuxing calmly walked to the door according to the address given by the main brain. With her fingers slightly bent, she knocked on the door gently.
"Who?" A vigilant voice came from inside.
"I'm here to help you treat your wounds at someone's request." Song Yuxing answered slowly.
The person inside was quiet for a while, then cautiously opened the door a crack.
After seeing Song Yuxing clearly, her alert expression suddenly froze, and she blurted out: "Sister Ling, why are you here?"
As a celebrity on Starnet, Yin Lingyue certainly knew Song Yuxing. On the other hand, she was even a loyal fan of the person in front of her.
When Yin Lingyue, as a fan, saw the real person for the first time, she felt dizzy and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously due to happiness.
She opened the door directly and stared at Song Yuxing with bright eyes.
Still a little girl.
After Song Yuxing took a look at him, her expression remained unchanged as she spoke with a smile, "I was entrusted to heal you. You've been infested by the Nightmare Clan."
"What? I've been possessed by the Nightmare Clan?" Yin Lingyue's smile froze instantly. She opened her eyes wide in disbelief, unable to believe what she had just heard.
Song Yuxing didn't care about all this. Since the person was standing in front of her, she put her hand on her shoulder and began to transmit her mental power.
Yin Lingyue subconsciously wanted to dodge, but Song Yuxing grabbed her wrist tightly. Then she felt a heat on her shoulder, and the dull pain in the wound disappeared instantly.
Is this the power of healing psychics?
Yin Lingyue was stunned.
"Okay, mission accomplished, I'm leaving."
Unexpectedly, it was done so easily. Song Yuxing smiled happily, thinking that she could buy some of the butler robot's favorite chili-flavored motor oil on her way back.
"Wait, wait." Everything happened too quickly. Seeing that she was about to turn around and leave, Yin Lingyue hurriedly stopped her.
"Sister Ling, who asked you to come to me?"
Song Yuxing put her finger to her lips and gave a sly smile.
"This is a secret. It told me not to tell you, but you reminded me that I have something I haven't given you yet."
Song Yuxing turned on the light brain, asked her for her ID on the Star Network, and then transferred her a theme park ticket.
The moment she saw the ticket, Yin Lingyue's pupils shrank suddenly, "Wait, is this a ticket to Huaxia Paradise? I, I can't accept it."
She was about to refuse in a panic, but Song Yuxing patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay, it's just a ticket, and someone has already paid for it. Although I have healed your injuries, your collapse value has increased a lot. You must really need to go to the park for treatment now."
"You haven't been to paradise yet, have you? I won't allow my fans to never have been to my paradise. Go and see how many wonderful worlds are waiting for you outside of love."
