Chapter 41

Su Ci watched No. 2 walking in the front.

In addition to his two short, round ears with a thick layer of brown fur, the long, thin tail that emerged from his clothes also swayed in the air as he walked, revealing a kind of dexterity unique to cats.

The hair on the boy's tail was very short, not as long and fluffy as No. 8's, but more dense, and looked soft, as if it was very good to touch.

Perhaps no one could imagine that such a tail could actually smash a shallow pit in the solid metal floor.

"Let's go, get off the car."

Gu Qingchen reminded from the side.

Su Ci retracted his gaze, nodded, let Gu Qingchen go first, and then took A Yan, the little tail, out of the car together.

Because of the delay in the breeding garden and the medical purification center, when Su Ci returned to the nursery building, it was already past lunchtime and the cubs had already finished their meal and returned to their rooms.

The two guards who were protecting Gu Qingchen had already arrived at the nursery by taking the teleportation platform and met Gu Qingchen at the door.

When they saw No. 2 and Su Ci - as witnesses of the scene just now, they still couldn't hide their surprise in their eyes.

Soon, the group entered the nursery building.

Although 4586 once again condemned Su Ci's behavior of always running away, when he saw No. 2, the attitude of this nanny robot softened.

It has a pair of tearful electronic eyes, and its mechanical arm pulls the boy's arm. It speaks in a very soft and cute voice, and says affectionately: "Er Er, you are finally back! 4586 missed you so much!"

The exaggerated body movements and rich emotional expressions are simply not like a robot.

Number Two's brows are tightly wrinkled.

He really can't stand 4586 and wants to get angry, but...

looking at the pitiful appearance of the nanny robot, although he knows that this is a set program, the boy's heart is still inevitably touched.

4586 is probably the robot that has persisted the longest in the brooding house. In his increasingly frequent beastial madness, this robot can always survive luckily.

And 4583...

The boy's mind flashed with the nanny robot that was thrown into the wall and smashed into pieces by his tiger tail.

Number Two pursed his lips.

Perhaps the robot in front of him was already the only one in this brooding house... no, in this world, who would treat him wholeheartedly.

Although, it was not even a real life.

The boy did not finally break free from 4586's mechanical arm.

"Two, are you hungry? Do you want to eat?" The nanny robot spoke softly, and its attitude towards the cubs remained the same, and did not change because Number Two had damaged 4583.

"I'll go get you something to eat, okay? You've lost weight, so pitiful."

As it got more and more corny, No. 2 couldn't help but pull his hand back, but this time he used some skill and didn't hurt the robot.

Even so, the robot nanny still looked at him with a pair of smiling eyes, waiting patiently for his answer.

No. 2 nodded and uttered a "hmm" from his nose.

"Oh, that's great!"

The nanny robot was overjoyed after getting the response, "I'll go get a delicious and hearty lunch for baby Er'er. Baby Er'er, please wait in the restaurant for a while, okay?"

The robot's voice was soft, cute, and full of vitality, making people feel relaxed when they heard it, as if they were really back home.

"Okay."

After the boy blurted out, he was also stunned, and then he noticed the slightly surprised and unbelievable look from the doctor Gu next to him.

Number Two was a little annoyed at first, and then he realized something, and he suppressed the emotion again, and then rolled his eyes at Gu Qingchen.

Just when Gu Qingchen thought that the boy would attack him, he saw him look at him with disdain, and then coolly put his hands in his pockets, and walked straight towards the elevator, as if he was really going to the restaurant on the second floor to wait for food.

To be honest, Gu Qingchen was a little confused.

As mentioned before, he had many opportunities to come into contact with cubs, and in his impression, Number Two was like a barrel of explosives at all times, which would explode without being ignited.

It's so rare to see such a peaceful performance like now!

Could it be that... No. 2 has already controlled his blood power and can stay awake and rational? If so, it's definitely good news!

Although the cubs are not allowed to leave Hell Star, they are not imprisoned here as prisoners.

As long as they can stably control their blood power after adulthood and no longer show aggression, they can work at the base and even join the army.

If they can establish enough military merits, it is not impossible to apply to leave Hell Star life.

Gu Qingchen couldn't help but look at Su Ci, wanting to share the good news with him, but then he found out...

"Where is he?"

He looked around, but where was Su the keeper?

In the elevator.

Su Ci leaned against the wall of the elevator, waiting for the elevator door to close, but saw that the elevator door that was about to close opened again.

A pair of fluffy round ears appeared in front of him. He blinked, lowered his eyes slightly, and met the reddish-brown tiger eyes of the young boy.

Seeing Su Ci standing in the elevator, No. 2 was also stunned.

When did this new keeper run into the elevator?

He stopped where he was for a moment until he heard the young man's clear voice, sounding lazily.

"Would you like to come in?"

Hearing this voice again reminded No. 2 of what had just happened in the lobby of the Medical Purification Department. He had not forgotten it. He regained consciousness after hearing this voice.

He glanced at Su Ci. Apart from the overly pretty face and lazy and casual posture, he really didn't see anything special about this new breeder.

Ordinary, thin and without a sense of presence.

Number Two felt no threat and was too lazy to answer Su Ci's question. He walked straight into the elevator and pressed the button for the second floor.

However, after the elevator door closed, Number Two frowned, and the tiger tail behind him began to twitch restlessly -

he felt a strong gaze.

Number Two looked at Su Ci again, but the keeper didn't look at him. He seemed to have noticed nothing and was looking up at the numbers above the elevator.

And the gaze that Number Two felt did not disappear.

What's going on?

Is there anyone else in the elevator besides the two of them?

Number Two's nerves tensed up. He had never had such a sharp intuition before. After the burning sensation in his body disappeared, he felt that his mind became much smarter.

Just like when he faced Dr. Gu just now, he was able to control his emotions and did not get angry and attack. This was unimaginable in the past.

But now he has done it.

In fact, Number Two does not like to fight with the weak. This is not very challenging for him. In a rational state, he can't muster any interest at all.

This state of quick thinking and sensitive senses is really good!

I really hope I can keep it up for a while...

Number Two clenched his fists and vigilantly paid attention to the movements around him. The short fluff on his tail exploded because of this.

A Yan, who was sticking close to Su Ci, saw the reaction of No. 2.

He didn't know that it was his gaze that caught the attention of No. 2. He looked at No. 2's frowsy tiger tail and couldn't help but think of No. 8's wolf ears. They

were soft and comfortable to touch.

A Yan raised his head and looked at the round ears on the top of No. 2's head. A trace of regret flashed in his black and red eyes.

He was too short now to touch No. 2's ears, and No. 2 was very tall, and it felt like he was at the shoulder of the keeper.

Then, the pity in A Yan's eyes turned into sincere envy.

When will he grow as tall as No. 2? Or as tall as No. 8 would be fine, so that he can get on and off the suspended bus by himself, without the keeper carrying him every time.

As A Yan looked at him, No. 2's nerves became more and more tense. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the gaze was lingering on his back and head.

Was it looking for his weakness?

The boy, who didn't sweat much when fighting against several guards, now had cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

No. 2 looked at the ignorant and calm keeper next to him, and suddenly he didn't know whether he should envy him, because the keeper was just an ordinary person with dull senses.

"Ding——"

Finally, the elevator door opened, and No. 2 felt that this short time of less than a minute was really longer than ever before.

He raised his foot to walk out of the elevator, but when he was about to leave, his steps hesitated.

The voice that broke through the cage forged by the power of blood and appeared in the depths of his consciousness when he was most desperate and helpless rang in his ears again.

Although the other party might have just done it unintentionally, it did help him...

Number Two gritted his teeth, turned his head to look at Su Ci in the elevator, and said, "Do you want to go to the restaurant with me?" He

probably rarely spoke to people in a normal tone, and even if he meant well, he sounded malicious, as if he wanted to quarrel.

Su Ci looked at him in surprise, "What are you going to the restaurant for?"

"Of course, to eat." The red-haired boy looked impatient.

Ah, this is really an invitation that is hard to refuse... But in the end, Su Ci still reluctantly refused.

After all, when thinking of the jelly for the cubs, Su Ci, who had always accepted all kinds of food, felt that he had lost his appetite.

Forget it, Su Ci shook his head.

Seeing that he refused without hesitation, No. 2's face darkened instantly.

He didn't expect that the new keeper didn't appreciate his kindness for the first time?

"Whatever you want!"

The red-haired boy said viciously and walked out of the elevator.

And when the elevator door closed, No. 2 really felt that the sight that made him feel uncomfortable disappeared.

So in addition to him and the new keeper, there must have been a third person in the elevator just now!

Who could that be?

Is it a monster that hid in the nursery from the red mist, or... Number Two suddenly thought of another possibility.

Could it be Number One whom he had never seen before?

Su Ci watched the elevator door close, touched his chin, then looked down at the child beside him, put his hand on the top of his head and rubbed it.

A Yan, who was suddenly touched on the head, couldn't help but raise his little head and blinked in confusion at the keeper.

"Number Two seems to have discovered you." He heard the keeper say this.

Is that so?

A Yan recalled the performance of Number Two's tail standing on end just now, he seemed... indeed not normal.

So was Number Two afraid of him just now? Because he discovered him, but couldn't see his existence, so he was afraid?

But how did Number Two find him? He didn't make a sound just now, nor did he touch him, he just... stared at him.

"People with keen senses can sense other people's gazes." Su Ci looked at A Yan and said patiently, "Especially after you became a half-spiritual body, your sense of existence has become stronger."

Gaze can be materialized.

Even Su Ci himself likes to use his eyes to cast spells. After all, this method of casting spells is not only accurate, but also can save soul power, but it is more difficult.

Of course, for him, it is as easy as drinking water and eating.

"You should pay attention to this in the future." Su Ci warned with a little seriousness.

A Yan nodded.

He is still too weak now. If others, especially those monsters in the red mist, can detect his existence through their eyes, he may be in danger.

Thinking of this, A Yan couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

When will he be strong enough to protect the keeper? Although, the keeper didn't seem to need his protection...

Su Ci took A Yan back to the dormitory.

The little spirit seed in the soil can, which was particularly energetic and full of energy before he left, became listless again.

"Hungry...hungry..."

Hearing the pitiful cry of hunger, Su Ci, who was preparing to have lunch, had to go over to water and fertilize it first.

Milky white solid particles fell on the soil, and after being irrigated with spiritual water, they quickly melted and slowly seeped into the soil. However, Su Ci discovered that

the

little spiritual seed was still releasing signals without much energy, unlike before when it would shout slogans as if it was about to break through the skin and grow as soon as it was fertilized and watered.

Su Ci frowned slightly, stared at the soil can for a while, and tentatively took out the multifunctional maintenance solution and watered the little spiritual seed with a drop.

When the drop of solution landed on the surface of the soil and just penetrated in...

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh - ah!"

The cheerful voice of the little spirit seed rang out again, and the energetic slogans echoed in the room, "Grow! Grow! Grow long!"

However, Su Ci narrowed his eyes, and for the first time, anger emerged in the young man's warm and peaceful black eyes.

Very good, he has understood the crux of the problem, this shrew -

dare to be picky about food!

This is definitely jumping on the minefield of Su the breeder. He stared at the can of soil, his momentum gradually rising, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out.

The little spirit seed, who was originally shouting slogans happily, seemed to sense something, and the voice of the slogans gradually weakened. It was not the kind of weak voice that was stretched out, but a kind of expression similar to...guilty?

Su Ci, who was originally thinking about how to discipline this spoiled child and let it get rid of this bad habit, couldn't help but feel moved.

This spoiled child, in addition to asking for food and drink, has begun to be able to perceive the outside world?

Su Ci couldn't help but frown -

just like what was said before, the spirit seed releasing signals to the outside world is just an instinctive appeal and complaint, not the ability to communicate with the outside world.

And this spoiled child can now sense his emotions and react with guilt, which proves that it has indeed improved compared to before.

At least, it is really growing up with care.

Thinking of this, Su Ci's slightly angry face gradually calmed down.

Although Jiaoqibao's picky eating made him feel annoyed, it at least proved that the multifunctional nourishing solution was indeed useful.

It would be a good thing if the spiritual plants could be grown quickly and they could feed back the spiritual power to the earth as soon as possible to improve the current poor state of the earth.

Moreover, not only did he get nearly two hundred points and two large bottles of multifunctional nourishing solution from Zhuang Shisong today, he could also buy it from him in the future, which could save a lot of points.

Calculated in this way, there should be no problem in supporting these two spiritual seeds to germinate and pass the seedling stage smoothly.

After calculating in his mind, Su Ci's mood completely improved.

And just as he had just noticed, the little spirit felt the change, and the originally guilty and short-tempered voice became cheerful and joyful again.

"Ah!"

"Long, long, long! Long, long!"

The happy slogan sounded like singing, which made Su Ci helpless.

All right.

Although he is picky about food, he is not completely unwilling to eat solid fertilizers. If he eats unpalatable food, it will be difficult for him to eat it happily.

Besides, what is he going to do with a little spirit whose consciousness is not yet fully developed?

After convincing himself, Su Ci no longer paid attention to this spoiled child, and at this time, he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.

"Gurgle--"

Feeling hungry, Su Ci followed the aroma and came to the kitchen.

He saw A Yan moving a stool and standing next to the stove, holding an opened can in his hand, pouring out the meat inside.

Canned?

After watching A Yan pour out the meat, he put the can aside. Su Ci walked over and picked up the can to take a look.

Canned chicken, barbecue flavor.

Su Ci knew that this was made with barbecue sauce or spices. The potato chips he ate had that added to them, and they tasted very fragrant. He didn't expect that this kind of sauce could be added to canned chicken.

He asked A Yan, "Did you take it out of the space button?"

The 50 boxes of mixed canned food were all placed in A Yan's space button.

A Yan also noticed Su Ci's approach. He looked at the keeper, and when he heard his question, he obediently took out the space button in his pocket and handed it back to him.

The keeper gave it to him for safekeeping, and now he could return it to the keeper.

Su Ci did not take it, but asked, "Can you use this space button?"

A Yan nodded, brushed his little hand across the space button, and took out another can of chicken from it.

The child was obviously not that proficient yet, and his demonstration was very awkward. However, it was remarkable that he could find the trick in such a short time.

Although this action was simple, it involved the perception and preliminary control of spiritual consciousness, or mental power.

Su Ci remembered that even the most top geniuses among the human race would need at least one day to get started in this area, not to mention the interstellar society, where this course alone would take a whole school year.

These children were able to achieve such a fast result only when they had famous teachers to teach them the tricks.

As for A Yan, Su Ci simply guided him and then let him practice on his own, which was actually almost the same as letting him do it freely, so it looked even more remarkable.

Su Ci showed some relief on his face, and then he saw the child put the can on the counter, and then handed him the space button.

The child's eyes were clear and full of intimacy and dependence. Facing such a space button filled with supplies, he did not have any greed, as if... his approving eyes were more important than this space button.

Su Ci looked at A Yan. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he just silently picked up the space button from the child's palm.

The space button was exquisitely made, just like a real button, with a small protrusion in the middle and a hole for threading.

A Yan looked at the keeper with some curiosity, watching him observe the space button, and then...

the young man's slightly messy short hair actually emitted a very light golden light, floating gently in his dull eyes.

Under the cover of that light, the young man's eyes also turned into light golden, and his whole body exuded a kind of divinity.

Then, one of the hairs suddenly broke off, slowly floating down from mid-air, and just landed on the keeper's palm.

And all the visions just now disappeared.

The light golden color full of divinity faded from the young man's body, and his hair and eyes returned to the warm and deep black color again, but the scene that just happened in front of him was deeply imprinted in Ayan's heart.

So familiar... Ayan was a little stunned.

As for Su Ci, he pinched his own hair.

The fallen hair did not return to pitch black, but was still emitting a light golden shimmer just like before, and was slightly curled, like silk threads twisted from gold.

Although it is very thin, it is one of the toughest things in the world. At least, now even Su Ci himself has a little difficulty in breaking this hair with simple brute force.

Su Ci pinched the hair and silently chanted a spell, and the light golden hair turned into a thin braided rope.

He passed the braided rope through the small hole of the space button, then leaned over and tied it and the space button together around A Yan's neck.

A Yan's body was stiff, not daring to move.

He felt the keeper's hair brushing against his face, and the young man's breath, which always made him feel at ease, lingered at the tip of his nose.

Time seemed to pass particularly slowly at this moment.

A Yan lowered his head, his eyes fell on the space button hanging in front of his chest, swaying gently, and he felt and heard his own heartbeat.

"Pong, pong--"

The heartbeat was not strong, but it seemed to beat only for one person.

Su Ci tied his hair into a delicate little knot, then stepped back a little, watching the space button hanging on the child's chest, just the right height, not too high or too low.

He nodded with satisfaction, "This, I'll give it to you first."

With the protection of his hair and the seal he had just made, no one, not even A Yan, could damage or remove the space button unless they were practitioners with deep Taoist skills.

At the same time, this could also share some of the damage for A Yan when he was attacked.
