The morning sunlight shone on the bed. Gu Li's eyes moved, and she struggled to turn over, only to find herself trapped in a small space. Turning over only buried herself deeper.
She vaguely smelled a burnt aroma and instinctively sat up in bed, poking the bulge beside her in a hoarse voice.
The blanket felt soft against the skin. Gu Li stared at the clump of tentacles pulled out from under the blanket for a moment, then casually tossed it toward the door.
"I told you not to let this thing on the bed."
The man who appeared at the door at some unknown time caught the wilted tentacle flying towards him, and disappeared with a flick of his wrist. He walked in without changing his expression, meeting Gu Li's gaze.
That aloof, handsome, yet utterly lifeless face drew closer, its dark eyes so deep they reflected no light, making it appear exceptionally dangerous.
It constantly sets off physiological alarm bells.
But Gu Li remained unmoved as he approached, watching him stop just inches away, and then a virtual screen appeared in front of her.
In the video, a large mass of limp tentacles is soaking in a bathtub, even having an aromatherapy spa treatment. After diligently washing itself, the dark tentacles have an eerie, shimmering sheen.
He Shiyi showed a subtle hint of appreciation: "Look, they've already been cleaned."
Gu Li: ...
Numb and emotionless, she leaned in and kissed his chin, and as his face began to flush, she took the opportunity to nibble on his neck.
Gu Li scratched his chin.
"I understand, that was good. Remember to submit the video first next time."
With red teeth marks and bite marks all over his neck, He Shiyi straightened up with satisfaction, his eyes fixed intently on her: "Okay."
·
As a directly administered area of the 11th Army, District 1 is gradually prospering thanks to the continuous influx of talent and residents.
The only downside for Gu Li is that there are just too many onlookers in their lives!
What happened to the promise that life doesn't have so many bystanders?
She and He Shiyi walked quickly into the military affairs building side by side. As the people behind them gradually dispersed, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As she passed Cecil, she smiled and looked at the two of them: "Good morning, Lili, Boss He, everyone's unusually enthusiastic today!"
She glanced at He Shiyi with a meaningful look.
Gu Li followed her gaze and saw that He Shiyi's collar, which had been neat before he left, was now disheveled, and the fine red marks were particularly noticeable on his pale skin.
Gu Li: !!!
She quickly appeared in front of He Shiyi, forcefully pulling his collar shut with both hands. The fabric even made a faint tearing sound because she couldn't control her strength.
Her voice escalated from calm to gritted teeth: "What's wrong with you?!"
He Shiyi looked down at her: "Ah, they scattered for no apparent reason just now..."
Gu Li's forehead veins throbbed: "You think I'd believe that?!"
Cecil, holding the documents, watched as He Shiyi bent down to make it easier for Gu Li to grab his collar, then quietly slipped away.
Gu Li, who had just given He Shiyi a stern lecture in the office, suddenly heard a huge explosion, followed by a series of massive tremors beneath his feet.
Gu Li got up from behind the tightly protected desk, patted the tentacles that swarmed around him, and saw the smoke and dust pouring in through the gaps between the gradually dispersing tentacles, as well as a man in a red robe.
She subtly pushed the unprocessed documents on the table out of the way, and casually stuffed the processed ones into the drawer.
"Is Red Bee mistaken about something? Has she been appearing in front of me far too often lately?"
With a crackling sound in the earphone, Lan Meng's voice came through: "I want to say that their century-long plan was ruined by Shirley and you. Shirley is already dead, so it's not surprising that he came after you."
"It's a good choice for these brainless idiots."
Gu Li: "...Who upset you again?"
She pulled a pistol from under the table and pointed it at the newcomer without changing her expression: "If you can stop your companions from bothering me before you fail, I will be truly grateful to you."
Her response was a furious roar from the man in red, whose body began to expand rapidly, his bursting muscles quickly tearing open his robes.
Finally, it bared its sharp teeth fiercely at Taniguchi: "Roar—You won't get away with this!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Gu Li fired several shots at his head, but the man's head swelled up strangely, blocking the bullets. He then charged forward, laughing maniacally.
The voice in the earphones gradually lost interest: "I guess he was a little too excited to see you and didn't even think to look up."
Gu Li casually tossed aside his pistol, leaned back in his chair, and yawned: "Don't say that. Letting him up here gave him unnecessary confidence."
The man opened his sharp teeth, about to bite down on Gu Li, who was stunned in his eyes, but his massive body suddenly stopped in place.
The pitch-black alien creature, which had somehow taken over the entire ceiling, had several thick tentacles hanging down, binding the man in circles.
The people waiting outside in the spaceship were suddenly pulled out by tentacles that had broken into the spaceship, and the spaceship was brought to a landing by Lancer, who jumped in cursing as he did so.
The people who were suddenly dragged into the building screamed in terror and were thrown into the basement prison along with the intruders.
Gu Li sat behind her desk, staring regretfully at the pile of well-preserved documents, then looked toward the door: "You win."
"I didn't expect the firearms developed by the Equipment Department this time to be so durable that they can't be penetrated," she said, her eyes following He Shiyi as he approached. "Alright, you win this time. What's your demand?"
