Chapter 24 Lounge
Advent finally activated the self-destruct device.
Fortunately, the military was well prepared for this raid and moved the freshmen with weaker mental strength to a safe location in advance, so no major damage was caused.
011 looked at the flames rising into the sky before him and curiously asked Lu Tai, who was holding him, "What does that RE mean?"
The other party said that they would meet in real life. Does this prove that Uriel is not dead? He then said that as a member of the protagonist group, how could the other party die so easily!
"What do you mean? He's probably just saying some harsh words to scare us away." Lu Tai stood there and watched the scene.
He probably guessed what the other party meant, but it was not suitable for the red panda to hear, and he thought it was not something they could care about.
011 nodded, half understanding. "It seems Uriel was just being held back by the undercover agent. He completed this mission very well."
They drew fire from the front while the team behind took the opportunity to sneak into the laboratory. Compared with the tragic results before, it can be said that they easily rescued the hostages.
Everything was falling apart before my eyes.
011 saw the words "mission completed" on the host's computer and was about to say goodbye to Uriel, but found that for some reason, Uriel was no longer around.
"Then let's talk about this in reality. I'm relieved they're all okay." The red panda watched as everyone around them pressed the escape button and patted the host's wrist with its tail as if to urge them to do so.
It seems that it is really like what the host said before, the military academy is not a completely safe place.
It seems I have to be extra careful next time.
Lu Tai nodded. Unlike the red panda, he quickly noticed the white hem of clothing behind the tree, but he quickly looked away, as if he hadn't noticed anything. "Okay, let's go."
He pressed the escape button without hesitation.
The second after they disappeared, Uriel behind the tree withdrew his gaze and looked at his palm which was gradually becoming translucent.
But even so, he could see the snake-like scaly skin on the back of his hand, unlike that of a normal human. Like his eyes, it was an ugly ash. "It's good that I didn't scare him."
Uriel lowered his eyes and watched himself disappear little by little, finally understanding the meaning of RE's words.
…
At the same time, Qixing.
Qin Buyang pressed the blasting button on his palm, and the next moment, the pitch-black experimental bodies piled up in front of him, forming a wall of flesh, and were sent into the sky like fireworks.
The smelly blood fell on the back of his hand, making a sizzling sound as if it was burned by some acid.
He didn't even frown, simply wiping it clean, his eyes slightly curved under his bright red hair, "Fortunately, that little bastard reminded me, otherwise my face would definitely be disfigured."
Thinking of a certain red panda, Qin Buyang's brows softened unconsciously and he pressed his chest.
The dried flowers in my pocket made a subtle sound.
Qin Buyang dodged more venom, threw away the blasting key in his hand and replaced it with another one.
Explosions rang out one after another. In a completely sealed laboratory deep underground, a pitch-black behemoth coiled like a python opened its eyes as if awakened, revealing a pair of mechanical, smoky-gray vertical pupils.
"Yaoyao..."
——
After escaping from the assessment, 011 was attacked by a bug as soon as it landed because of the different energy consumption rates at different latitudes, causing the machine to fall into hibernation.
When I woke up again, it was bright daylight.
The little panda stretched his body with his paws. After a while, he opened his eyes and saw the sleeping face of his host beside him.
There are some dark circles under his eyes, it seems that he didn't sleep well.
[Host, are you okay?] 011 climbed up and cautiously poked Lu Tai's tall nose with his tail. You know, his host is a curl king. He never sits idle when he can train. How could he suddenly fall asleep in broad daylight?
Lu Tai just frowned. He must have been too sleepy to wake up after being teased like that.
011 shook his tail and looked at the host's health bar, and found several debuffs. It seemed that he had not had a good rest since returning from the Qixing battlefield, and his mental strength was still exhausted.
The red panda was really worried that the host would die suddenly.
He jumped down from the cot, thinking about how to get the host up, but after trying for a long time, the host didn't move at all.
011 sat down on the ground and was thinking about whether to transform into a human form when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He immediately flew up and peeked through the door.
But he only saw the back of the person gradually leaving.
An exquisitely crafted invitation letter was placed in front of their dormitory door with a handkerchief as a cushion.
"Huh, was it from Gary? Is the birthday party plot so early?" 011 glanced at the date above. "I've slept so many days. Gary's birthday is in three days."
[We need to think of a plan quickly and use the birthday party to get as much villain points from him as possible.]
Because he accidentally saved the protagonist last time, the host received several very expensive thank-you gifts during this period. Although the host refused them all, he found that his villain value had dropped a bit because of this.
It seems that I still cannot have a direct encounter with the protagonist.
This time, the red panda decided to be more careful and act as a villain who taunted the protagonists from all angles. [Otherwise, he would find a way to expose Gary's dollhouse and embarrass him in front of the whole school!]
[A top-tier combat player likes something only children would enjoy. This must be big news!]
So this time we can definitely hurt Galliard severely!
[But what's the best way to do this?] 011 looked at the invitation on the ground, thinking, but before he could come up with a good idea, he was suddenly picked up by a pair of hands.
The host's slightly cool face pressed against his soft fur.
011 subconsciously pressed his claws against his face, but was still buried in his belly and sucked hard. He felt like he was about to become the host's Abebe. [Host! You're finally awake! I thought you were so tired that you passed out!]
The red panda's tone was very concerned.
The host just works too hard.
"Okay, I'll pay attention to it next time. Yaoyao, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere now?" Lu Tai's heart, which had been beating nervously due to not having rested for so long, finally calmed down.
Of course, he was not sleepy because he was too tired, but he was just a little worried about the safety of the little panda.
But it’s better not to let 011 hear these words.
So as not to worry the little panda.
011 couldn't see what was wrong. The big red panda patted his little brother on the head and said earnestly, "I'm glad you're okay, but you can't stay up late anymore, or your hair will fall out!"
[By the way, host, please look at the invitation on the ground.]
He, the best auxiliary system in the system world, will definitely lead the host to complete this mission!
"Gallier's birthday party?" Lu Tai knew that the red panda was very ambitious, so he didn't say much. He picked up the invitation on the ground and took a look at it.
He glanced at the doors around him again, "It seems he has invited all the students in the school this time."
Almost everyone had an invitation on their door.
[This is a perfect opportunity for us to stir up trouble, to embarrass him.] 011 Some time ago, I downloaded a lot of reference books on face-slapping novels from novel websites.
Of course, the one who learns is the one who gets beaten.
The little panda feels that he has become the most annoying villain system in the world!
Lu Tai naturally obeyed the red panda's every command. He glanced around and said, "Yaoyao, do you have any plans? I will do my best to cooperate."
As he said this, the gloomy young man softened his expression, carried the little panda in his arms, and returned to the dormitory, closing the door tightly.
[Of course, this is a truly magnificent trick! It'll definitely scare Galliard!] 011 leaped out of his host's arms and landed on the table, the little panda laughing with its hands on its hips. [This time, 011, I'm going to show off my true strength!]
[Host, just wait and see!]
——
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the date on Gallier's invitation.
Lu Tai had been watching the little panda acting mysteriously these past few days. Although he really wanted to know the plan, he didn't ask. At this moment, his narrow and sharp eyes lowered to look at the gift box in his hand.
"Yaoyao, is this your plan?"
He had just seen the red panda being packed with his own eyes, so he naturally saw what the gift inside looked like.
A doll the size of a palm.
Lu Tai thought of the words that the little panda heard when he just met Galliard, and probably guessed what the other party meant. The gloom in his handsome face disappeared, and there was a hint of helplessness in his expression.
It doesn’t matter, being able to laugh at others is also great.
[This isn't just any doll.] 011 sat on the table, seemingly unconcerned, but in reality, its furry ears perked up, waiting for its host to speak. [There's actually a hidden camera inside!]
[No one knows that Galliard likes this, and no one has ever given it to him. He will definitely like our gift.]
[Then we can take photos of him sucking the doll like you, the host, are addicted to it. We can then secretly post them on the forum and make him socially oblivious!]
The little panda read eight books in total. This was a very clever idea that he came up with after racking his brains for two days and two nights.
"..." Lu Tai still looked serious on the surface, but his pale earlobes were actually a little red. He didn't expect that the red panda looked carefree but actually saw everything. He looked away a little unnaturally, "Well, I'm not really obsessed with it..."
He was afraid that the red panda would think he was too clingy and hate him, so he restrained himself a lot.
Unexpectedly, it was discovered...
Lu Tai felt a rare sense of shame.
Because his last words were spoken so softly, 011 didn't hear them clearly and just thought they were compliments from the host. He was so proud. "Galiye invited so many people to today's birthday party. I can't even imagine how many points we can earn."
It will definitely make Galliard so angry that he will be speechless!
If it were possible to use a physical object, the little panda would want to carry the gifts in by himself and experience the feeling of being a villain and bullying others without any psychological burden.
Lu Tai pursed his lips as if he hadn't said anything just now, and touched the red panda's head indulgently.
Seeing that the flying ship that the optical computer had called was approaching, he picked up the little panda, took the gift and made sure he had not forgotten anything, then took the invitation letter and walked out of the campus dormitory gate.
…
It was 011's first time to ride on a flying ship here. He leaned on the porthole and looked out, his tail wagging excitedly.
Unfortunately, Galliard's estate was nearby, and we arrived at our destination in the blink of an eye. From afar, we could see the majestic building and the dense crowds of pedestrians below.
011 jumped onto the host's shoulder, [Let's go! The bullying of Galliard officially begins!]
"Be careful not to fall." There were so many people here that Lu Tai couldn't hold him all the time. After getting out of the airship, he helped the little panda sit up straight by adjusting his collar.
011 then sat down obediently and grabbed the host's hair to steady himself to avoid falling.
While flying is possible, it's less energy-intensive than simply lying on top of the host. He peered around, "I don't know where Galliard has secretly gone. We need to find him first and then find a way to secretly deliver the gift to him."
There was a dense crowd of people in front of him, and although the red panda was not face-blind, he still felt dizzy.
"Maybe they are having a social gathering. The birthday parties of these upper-class nobles are not just about eating cake. Let's wait a while." Lu Tai thought of the gift box in the space button and squeezed the red panda's paws, his eyes moving subtly among the crowd.
Although he promised the red panda such a big gift, he couldn't really give it away.
Lu Tai's eyes were unclear.
At the same time, Galliard, who was unaware that the red panda was thinking about him, had his golden hair combed up to reveal his deep eyebrows and eyes, but his expression was still calm and gentle.
He did not have the arrogance of the general aristocracy, and listened to the compliments from people around him without changing his expression.
Galie's dense, light-colored long eyelashes drooped, and she didn't hear the sound she wanted from the noisy environment. Her thin lips gradually returned to straightness in the shadows.
Maybe it hasn't arrived yet.
He knew these people's thoughts very well. For Lu Jin from the lower three districts who wanted to move up, they would definitely not ignore such a good opportunity.
The flatterers around him noticed the subtle change in Galliard's mood. They looked at each other suspiciously. The young man who had been talking big just now rolled his eyes and said, "Master Galliard."
"If I'm not mistaken, the brooch on your chest, Master Gallier, is the work of Master Mike. It's worth a lot of money."
No one doesn't like compliments. The young man just tried a few topics but didn't get much response from Galliard. After thinking about it, he could only use the same tricks he used to deal with others.
"Yes, yes." Another young woman nodded after catching his gaze. "You've truly inherited your father's keen eye. This brooch suits you perfectly. Master Gallier is truly dazzling today..."
The woman was about to continue speaking, but suddenly received a look from her companion and quickly shut up.
How could she have forgotten that Master Gallier didn't like people discussing his appearance? If she offended him, she might have to give up the bid for the collection machinery.
But Galliard was not as angry as she thought.
Although he doesn't like people discussing his appearance, he is not the type like Qin Buyang who gets angry easily.
Galliard knew what these people meant, but no matter how good he was at dealing with people, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. So he took this opportunity to find a reason to send these people away.
He put down his glass and frowned slightly as he looked at his gloved palm. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a familiar sweet voice from the crowd, "Wow, I finally found Gary!"
He looks so radiant today!
[She turns her head and smiles, full of charm!]
His voice was as lively and cheerful as ever, but just by hearing the voice one could imagine that the boy's bright eyes must be full of cunning, secretly watching him and muttering in the shadows.
Gallier: ...
Thank you so much for the compliment.
The blond young man wanted to pinch his heart, but found that he had no sterilized gloves and had to put them down. The coldness between his brows gradually melted into a bit of helplessness and indulgence that he himself did not realize. "I'm afraid this guy won't even get two points in Interstellar Language."
Who would use the phrase "a single glance and a smile brings out all the charm" to describe a tall man in the Morse galaxy?
"Young Master, what did you just say?" The butler beside him had been in the family for decades and immediately noticed the impatience hidden under the mask of the young man.
But she didn't expect that the young master would become a different person just after she came back with a bottle of disinfectant.
My mood has improved a lot.
When Galliard saw the housekeeper come back, his expression didn't change much. "Nothing, Aunt Qin, it's just... what do you think of my outfit today?"
He had never cared about this before, but after hearing what the little bastard said, he inexplicably felt a little curious.
Is it really beautiful?
The boy didn't praise him the last time they met.
"?" My aunt began to suspect that she had misheard. When did her young master suddenly start to care about his appearance? But then she suddenly realized something, "Very good, very handsome, I'm sure those ladies will like him very much."
The young master has grown up.
I just don't know which girl he fell in love with.
Galliard immediately guessed that Aunt Qin had misunderstood. Listening to the boy's struggle in the background as he was punished for using the wrong words, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. "I'm just asking. After all, Aunt Qin, I still trust your aesthetic taste."
How could he possibly like someone he had never met?
I just think it's interesting.
"I understand, I understand everything." Aunt Qin cleared her throat. She didn't expect that young people who acted like little adults could be so silly in love. In order not to discourage the young people, she quickly pretended that she didn't notice anything.
Galliard knew that he couldn't explain it clearly. He was about to explain when he suddenly noticed a figure approaching from the corner of his eye.
He was standing at the intersection. After thinking about it, he took a few steps to the right to avoid being hit. However, he didn't know if the other party didn't react in time. Although he avoided it, the wine in the other party's hand spilled all over him.
It was simply unbearable for the mysophobic Galliard.
The man was also frightened and hurriedly apologized. Aunt Qin beside him quickly took out a clean tissue and handed it to Galliard, saying in a low voice, "Master, let's go to the lounge to change clothes, otherwise the gentleman will definitely use this as an excuse to make trouble again."
Luckily, she had prepared a spare in the lounge.
"Okay." Galliard pursed his lips. The sticky touch made him feel very uncomfortable, and his mood sank layer by layer, but he still maintained his usual polite and decent smile on his face. "Take this gentleman to change clothes as well, so he doesn't catch a cold."
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the boy's lively and cheerful voice sounded again.
Poor Gallier, a surprise, no, a shock, was waiting for him in the lounge. Speaking of which, I almost forgot, how could we be the only ones who wanted to take advantage of such a good opportunity to do something bad?
[The big show is about to begin.]
