Chapter 48 The stars are silent tonight
The Light Chaser sailed deep into the sea of stars, temporarily away from the hustle and bustle and danger.
On the bridge, various data streams pulsed steadily, indicating that everything was normal. Gu Changfeng confirmed that there were no anomalies in his surroundings. He tapped the table lightly, signaling Gu Jinyan to go to the rest cabin.
After sleeping for a day and a night, An Zhi finally moved.
The cub's eyelids trembled, then slowly opened. The brightness in its large eyes was gone, replaced by a blank and sleepy look.
She moved her hands, but felt she had no strength.
Gu Jinyan had been guarding the bedside. Seeing An Zhi wake up, he immediately leaned over and asked, "An An?"
He stretched out his hand and waved it.
An Zhi's gaze slowly focused on Gu Jinyan's face.
She didn't say anything, but there was a mist in her eyes, like a flower lacking water.
Tuan Tuan immediately floated to the medical bedside: "Little Master An An, are you feeling better?
Tuantuan has prepared warm milk and your favorite Galaxy potato chips!"
Its robotic arm carefully handed over a sippy cup.
The cub shook his head again, his little face wrinkled, as if he was about to cry in the next second.
Gu Jinyan's heart tightened.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Gu Jinyan asked softly.
An Zhi finally uttered a mosquito-like "hmm." She turned over, her back facing Gu Jinyan, and her shoulders shrugged slightly.
Gu Jinyan thought about it and took out a mini holographic projector from his pocket.
He pressed the button, and a brilliant starry sky appeared on the ceiling, with countless meteors streaking across the sky, beautiful and dreamy.
"An An, the stars have come to your room to play."
Gu Jinyan lowered his voice.
An Zhi's little body moved, but she didn't turn around. She still had her back to him.
Gu Jinyan took out a music box and wound the spring. After the ticking sound of the spring, soothing music sounded in the medical cabin.
"An An, would this sound better?" Gu Jinyan continued to coax her.
An Zhi's hair curls moved, but she still didn't turn around.
Gu Jinyan glanced at Tuan Tuan.
He connected his mental power to the little robot's communication and quickly gave a few instructions.
After a while, Tuantuan came back with a delicate little tray held by a robotic arm.
On the tray sat a particularly tempting-looking chocolate puppy, next to a bubbling milkshake.
"Master An An, this is your favorite chocolate and milkshake!"
The cub finally turned around.
His eyes lingered on the chocolate for a few seconds before looking at the pink milkshake.
Gu Jinyan broke off a small piece of chocolate and put it to An Zhi's mouth.
An Zhi hesitated for a moment, finally opened his little mouth and bit off the chocolate.
Gu Jinyan took the opportunity to hand over the milkshake straw.
"It tastes good..." An Zhi said softly, his voice still a little hoarse.
Gu Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you are willing to eat, your mood will gradually improve.
"An An, after dinner, let's play games, okay?"
An Zhi didn't answer immediately, but just took another bite of the chocolate.
After slowly finishing the meal, the cub's breathing became more stable, but there was still a lingering sense of lethargy.
She sat quietly by the bed, her legs dangling over the edge. The little bit of cheek fat she had managed to gain back over the past few days seemed to have diminished considerably.
Gu Jinyan looked at her, feeling a surge of powerlessness in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Gu Jinyan asked softly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
An Zhi pursed her lips, turned her head and looked at Gu Jinyan. A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, as if she was struggling whether to speak or not.
Finally, she shook her head gently.
"An An, if you feel uncomfortable, just tell your brother, okay?" Gu Jinyan softened his voice and tried to comfort her.
An Zhi's eyes suddenly turned red, and her mouth became even more pouty. She finally uttered, "Someone's been...always talking to An Zhi...it's so noisy..."
As he spoke, An Zhi covered his ears with his hands and his body began to tremble again.
Gu Jinyan staggered back a step.
He immediately regained his composure.
Gu Jinyan took An Zhi's hand away, carefully checked her ears, and then looked at the screen in the medical cabin.
All parameters were normal, and no auditory abnormalities were reported.
He picked up An Zhi, held her in his arms, and slowly patted the cub's back.
“Don’t be afraid, we are not afraid…”
"Tuantuan, detect whether An Zhi has any hearing abnormalities, or whether there is any unknown mental wave intrusion?"
"No abnormal auditory frequencies were detected. No signs of mental wave intrusion were found."
Gu Jinyan was silent.
He raised his head and looked at the camera on the top of the medical cabin, which was directly connected to the main control room.
"Father. An An said she heard someone talking to her. The medical cabin couldn't detect anything abnormal."

Aiden pulled out the quill that Americus had been so unwilling to give up and put it back into the pen holder.
The desk was kept tidy by its owner.
A'mo was about to say something when he heard the terminal on Aiden's wrist vibrate.
He quickly put on his hood and disappeared into the darkness again.
Aiden pushed aside the light screen.
It was a routine report sent back by Gu Changfeng.
It should have been sent to the Secretary-General for processing first.
This time it was handed directly into his hands.
When A'mo saw that it was a message from Gu Changfeng, he also leaned out to take a look.
The message was brief, very much in the style of His Majesty's office: "Stop talking nonsense, say a word if you can, don't tell them to get lost."
Americus was still wondering in his heart how Aiden found a legion commander who was so suitable for him.
The next second, his pupils contracted.
The regulations on the summons clearly record several points.
Abnormal energy fluctuations in the area and continuous whispering occur.
Americus read the words over and over again in disbelief.
It's like breaking them down again and piecing together another meaning.
"She's already started hearing that stuff..."
Aiden said.
"Didn't you just ask me what I would do?"
The iron-blooded emperor rarely patiently explained a few more words.
"I will kill her, as I have promised a thousand times."
"It's like the ending we all expected."
Aiden walked around the table and picked up a sword that was leaning against it.
Such swords or daggers were always found in every corner of the palace.
Eslan's mental power can easily attach to these materials.
To facilitate responses to sudden Zerg invasions or other disturbances within the palace.
Aiden reached back, grabbed Americus by the collar, and dragged him over.
"Amo."
He met a pair of eyes that had turned a little blood red.
"You should relax."

Gu Jinyan held An Zhi in his arms and sat on the soft carpet. He did not urge her to speak, but just patted her back slowly.
An Zhi's energy index just stopped declining.
Gu Jinyan leaned forward slightly, holding An Zhi completely in his arms. He rested his chin on the top of An Zhi's head and bent his legs to create a small space.
This was the scene Gu Changfeng saw when he arrived.
Like two cubs, one big and one small, snuggling together for warmth.
