Shafley took the bag from Chen Ci and put it aside. He went to check the house's intelligent control system to make sure that the privacy was set to the highest level.

Obviously, the two brothers have been through a lot in the one and a half months of separation. They have the same pheromones, but now they each have the scent of a different Alpha.

Tuberose, sherry, amber woods.

When Chen Ci saw the temporary mark on Chen Nian's neck, he knew that he had reconciled with Shafulai, probably after Fu Tianhe said those words to Shafulai last night.

Well, Chen Ci couldn't understand why Shafley was so angry. In his opinion, the conflict between the two of them could have been avoided, but it was enough for them to reconcile now.

"Have you had breakfast?" Chen Nian asked.

"Not yet." Chen Ci didn't wake up until ten o'clock. He hurriedly packed up his things and came to pick him up in a flying vehicle. He didn't even have time to eat.

Chen Nian: "I just made something. Let's have lunch together."

In fact, Shafulai was quite surprised when he received the news from the White Tower last night. He had just finished working with Chen Nian. The establishment of the temporary mark seemed to have magical powers, which smoothed out many raised knots and repaired fine cracks.

All the entanglements and expectations that cannot be expressed are communicated through the heart.

Only then did Shaflay finally realize why his and Chenci's insensitivity to pheromones had become a topic of conversation among people. For Alpha and Omega, the compatibility of pheromones was extremely important, and marking could do more than just declare ownership.

He couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if a deeper, more intimate and thorough mark was established? Would it be possible to share even the soul?

Shafulai and Chen Nian told each other everything they wanted to say very smoothly. In fact, they didn't say too much, because the boy had already cried and confessed his whole heart to him. Shafulai only needed to tell Chen Nian seriously about his expectations.

——He hopes that Chen Nian can calm down and get to know herself, and slowly understand and realize what true love is.

Well, actually Chen Nian has already vaguely realized something.

He could feel Shaflay's feelings for him and had desire, but he was not completely driven by desire. Alpha rarely showed strong desire in front of him. In his eyes, kissing and hugging were used to deepen love rather than simply to obtain sensory stimulation.

A young body and beautiful looks are important, but they should not be used as bargaining chips, and one should not enter into a transaction just to satisfy a desire.

Many times, as long as both parties are willing to sit down and have a good talk, many conflicts can be easily resolved.

Shafulai was about to get out of bed to get an ice towel to put on Chen Nian's eyes. Seeing this, Chen Nian hurried over first. Alpha's leg had not yet recovered, and he didn't want Shafulai to run around again.

Chen Nian simply went to take a shower. His whole body was covered in sweat and felt sticky.

Amid the sound of splashing water and the cheerful singing of the boy whose mood had obviously improved, Shafulai felt relieved and agreed with Chen Ci on the time and place to meet.

Jiang Dai was still recuperating in the hospital, and there was no need for Chen Nian to go back to his home in the underground city. Shafulai thought of letting the boy live here. After all, the house was hidden enough, and it was convenient for him to come over and accompany him often.

Of course Chen Nian agreed. What reason did he have to refuse?

Anyway, the three of them were now eating at the same table, and Shaflay could look up and see the twins sitting in front of him.

The two brothers looked so much alike, as if they were carved from the same mold. Shafley thought of the moon birthmark on Chen Nian's shoulder. If he remembered correctly, Chen Ci should have the same one.

But as someone who has spent a long time with the twins, Shafley can tell the difference between them at a glance. The very different growth environments and experiences have shaped the brothers into completely different beings.

Chen's words are calm, while his thoughts are agile, or even completely opposite.

This was the first time that Chen Ci and Chen Nian had eaten at the same table. In the past, they could only see each other for a short while when they exchanged seats. The longest time was probably in a private room in the teahouse in the dungeon, but it was only three hours.

Now that we finally have this rare opportunity, we must have a good chat.

One of the topics of discussion is of course the Sea Queen Sheila, who appears in both the game and in real life.

No matter how detailed the information is, it is not as good as a face-to-face conversation. Many details were revealed. Chen Nian talked about how he was eaten by the transformed Aurora in the game and he was still scared. He was in the hospital that day and was so scared that he couldn't sleep. He could only hold on to one of Shaflay's fingers and get courage from Alpha.

Chen Nian: "Shapley said that, rather than dual-line synchronization, it was more like the game previewing what might happen in reality. In the game, I exposed that Aurora was Sea Emperor Hera in disguise, and together with other players, I found her weakness and provided it to you, which helped you escape successfully."

Chen Ci nodded. He also felt that this was the most convincing answer.

Chen Nian: "The publisher of Electric Fantasy Kingdom is Beacon, which means beacon. After that day, Shafulai immediately went to meet the core of Cinnabar. Cinnabar said that the truth was hidden in the game, and then opened the decryption outside the game. Shafulai has been studying it these days."

Chen Ci: "I know. I found a piece of paper stuck on the pillar from the coordinates he sent me."

Chen Ci stood up, picked up his backpack, took out the original paper from the inner compartment, and handed it to the two people.

Chen Nian: “Like a small advertisement.”

Shafley: "I have sent the photo to the guild group. Someone should be researching it. I will go online later to see what is going on."

Shafley was busy dealing with the issues with Chen Nian, so he had no time to pay attention to the chat group and forum. Now that the issue has finally been resolved, he can continue to concentrate on decrypting it.

"The beacon is monitoring me, which explains why the space-based satellite hit Sheila in reality at the same time as you defeated her in the game. My movements have always been under the control of the beacon."

Chen Ci said as he reached into his pocket. He felt around and paused: "It's gone."

Chen Nian: “What?”

"It's a surveillance device sent out by the beacon. It's a mechanical part that looks like a water drop. The photos I sent you before were all taken by it."

Chen Ci didn't mind it too much. The blue water drop was still there when he and Fu Tianhe got on the aircraft. Perhaps it was because they had entered Cinnabar's jurisdiction and the surveillance device belonging to Cinnabar was no longer working.

"So... Beacon has known about our exchange for a long time." Chen Nian looked at Shafulai, "I think His Majesty the Emperor should also know about it, right?"

Shafley nodded. "You remember that day in the hospital when we were about to wear the neural adapters to play the game? My father came to see me. There were two neural adapters on the bed, and he knew Chen Ci couldn't use them."

Chen Nian was stunned. If it weren't for Shafleti, he would have forgotten about it.

"Did you notice it then?"

Shafley: “About that.”

Chen Nian punched him: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Shafley covered his arm and said, "At that time, I felt that there was no need to make you nervous. However, this also confirmed our guess. My father may have known that Chen Nian was alive all along. For unknown reasons, he and Jiang Dai tried their best to hide this news. Even if they knew that you were not living well in the underground city, they had to hide it and could not even provide assistance."

Chen Nian and Chen Ci fell into silence.

What Shafley said was correct, but what was the reason that made everyone choose to hide it? Perhaps it was also related to the fact that Chen Ci had to be strictly protected in the White Tower since birth.

Chen Ci and Shafley looked at each other and saw the same doubt in each other's eyes.

The so-called house arrest may not just be due to the weekly physical examination.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the brothers attract the original creatures? But no matter how much they exude fatal attraction, they are still living on the beacon.

Besides, Chen Nian has never used his mental power in the past eighteen years. If the primitive creatures wanted to come over, they would have come long ago.

Chen Nian shrugged, "Well, it seems we can't figure it out for a while. Maybe we can only find out when I go to spy on Uncle Jiang or Shafulai goes to ask His Majesty."

Chen Ci hummed, and then he took out the five hard drives from his bag and pushed them in front of Shafulai: "I brought them from the computer room."

"In addition, we also found a body in the cabinet of the temporary rest room. The body was already dried up. The initial judgment was that it was the programmer responsible for repairing the server. The cause of death was a heavy object hitting the head."

The photo was displayed in front of them through the virtual screen. Chen Nian and Shafley walked forward in unison and observed carefully. Seeing the dry appearance of the corpse, Chen Nian couldn't help but exclaimed "Ah" and raised his hand to touch the goose bumps on his arm.

Shafley: "I'll send the photos to my professional friends to take a look."

After Chen Ci finished speaking in detail, Chen Nian stroked his chin and said, "That is to say, someone deliberately destroyed the server and killed the maintenance personnel. What is the server used for?"

Shafley: "I checked the website, and there is no record of this server unit. It should be a very secretive existence, with single-threaded maintenance. Since you said that the water droplets representing blue alum guided you to the damaged place, it should be related to the beacon, most likely the cloud as previously guessed.

"As for the specific reason, I may have to wait until I analyze the data in the hard drive to find out."

Chen Ci: "Can it still be analyzed if it is so bad?"

Schaffray: "I don't know, but I'll try my best."

The restaurant fell silent for a moment, and Chen Nian asked, "Does Fu Tianhe know this?"

Chen Ci: "He knows it's related to the beacon, but he doesn't know anything else. I also told him that I have a physique that can attract primitive creatures, but I didn't tell him anything else."

Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh.

This makes Fu Tianhe sound pretty miserable, but maybe he's enjoying it. He's not Fu Tianhe, so he has no way of knowing Alpha's true thoughts.

There was nothing particularly urgent after that. Shafulai went to repair the hard drive while Chen Nian arranged a room for Chen Ci. The villa was very big and Shafulai lived in the master bedroom on the first floor due to his leg problems. Now that Chen Nian had reconciled with him, he naturally slept with Alpha.

Chen Ci chose to live on the second floor so they don’t disturb each other, which is good.

Chen Nian thought that her brother must be tired after the thrilling journey, so she kindly asked him to have a good rest and they could play together in the evening.

Chen Ci sat on the edge of the bed. The room was spacious and he could see the lush greenery outside through the window. The afternoon sun poured in eagerly, hitting his eyelashes and making him feel lazy and sleepy. It was an equally vibrant early summer scene, but for Chen Ci, who had seen the real land, it was not natural enough.

Logically, he should have taken a shower first. It was inconvenient to get water in the forest hut. After he and Fu Tianhe finished yesterday, they just wiped themselves and went to sleep.

Chen Ci, who was always capable, did not take immediate action.

The temporary mark has disappeared, and taking a bath means that for many days from now on, he will completely lose the taste of Fu Tianhe.

The warm amber wood scent that accompanied him every night when he fell asleep.

This time, Chen Ci couldn't say that he didn't understand.

He understood the reason for his hesitation. Even though his brother and Shaflay were by his side, he turned his head subconsciously. When he saw that there was no one around him, he realized that the Alpha had left.

Research shows that it takes twenty-one days to develop a habit. Fu Tianhe's companionship this time lasted for a full thirty-nine days. His figure, his smell, and his voice have become part of Chen Ci's environment.

Chen Ci raised his hand and sniffed. Chen Nian said that Fu Tianhe's pheromones were very strong on his body, but maybe he was used to it, so to him, it only smelled a light fragrance.

He sat quietly for a while, and finally stood up, but before going into the bathroom, Chen Ci took off his clothes, folded them neatly, and put them in the closet.
