Chapter 1042: [Kunlun Capital] Falls (56) How Long Will It Take? How Long Will It Take?
Chapter 3395 [Kunlun City] Fall (56) - How long will it take, how long will it take for the absence to become unfamiliar?
【Tianlao】Before breaking the prison.
Sea of Sky...Fortress.
Horizontal light patterns kept flashing across Li Jianyi's body as the elevator moved. His eyes seemed to have lost focus, and he just let time go by.
Suddenly, there was a slight vibration, and the elevator reached the end... The moment the door opened, Li Jianyi's eyes focused, and then a familiar face appeared in front of him.
[Six ears].
[Liuer] rarely comes to this area... He said he didn't like the smell of this place - in fact, he didn't like the smell of Li Jianyi.
"Is something wrong?" Li Jianyi asked curiously.
"Did you forget what you promised me?" [Liu Er] raised his palm - a palm with one finger missing.
"Come with me." Li Jian nodded.
His work area and living area were all in one place... He soon led [Liu Er] to the work room - installing a prosthetic finger does not require too many procedures... and even the surgery is a bit delicate.
[Liu Er] spread out his palm with missing fingers and saw that the other person was holding a miniature electric drill. The corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly, "Hey, you're distracted!"
"Ah... Indeed." Li Jian nodded, "Maybe it's because you haven't been resting well recently... Speaking of which, since you don't plan to regenerate your body, why not simply undergo a full-body prosthetic transformation?"
"That kind of supernatural genetic modification technology you mentioned before?" [Liu Er] asked with a frown, "Why, are you not satisfied enough that you need to extend your claws to me?"
"The devil's claw is too much." Li Jianyi chuckled, lowered his head and drilled open the bone marrow on the [Six Ear] finger bones. He looked very focused, like a technician doing a manicure.
The implantation of a prosthetic finger did not take much time - soon, feeling the new finger that moved freely, [Liu Er] nodded with satisfaction, "My cheap student, please take care of it for me." ”
Li Jianyi didn't answer immediately, but just called out the fortress' center, the rabbit-eared girl, to check Gaikai's situation at this time - this cheap student was swinging a sword with a heavy load in the gravity room.
"Why are you still using this primitive cultivation method?" Li Jianyi asked in surprise.
"It's just to temper your spirit." [Liu Er] spread his hands and said, "This guy has all the strength, but his consciousness is not very good... It is not so much that he has good combat power and various abilities, but rather that these abilities are all like needs. It’s the same skill that only takes effect when activated.”
"Skills?" Li Jianyi pondered: "This may be the characteristic of [the alien]."
"Leave it to you." [Liu Er] smiled nonchalantly: "Just don't kill him... Actually, I'm also curious about whether [The Stranger] really won't die, but I don't have time for the time being."
Li Jianyi didn't ask [Liu Er] what he planned to do - he came to him to install the finger, and even asked Gai Kai, and it was already clear that he wanted to go out.
"It won't take too long." He said calmly: "All the [Spears of Destiny] have been implanted, and the anti-spiritual device of [Canglan] will be fully activated soon... You can bring a [Dragon] with you. Ⅲ] type dragon rider, just in case of emergencies.”
"Let's go." [Liu Er] waved his hand.
After a while, feedback came from the center. [Liu Er] had piloted a fighter plane and left the fortress dock - the current trajectory of the fighter plane was: [Kunlun City].
"Retrieve the surveillance data from the past six hours." After returning to the room, Li Jianyi ordered again.
The entire fortress network was operating at high speed... In the past few hours, the movements of a certain teacher Nan Nan were revealed one by one. Li Jianyi boiled water in a beaker, soaked a bowl of noodles and ate it.
…
The living area of the middle floor... On the bench facing the street - a certain teacher Nan Nan was looking up at the holographic simulation sky with a dejected look on his face.
"The sun is a bit dazzling..."
After a while, Miss Xiangxiang trotted back... holding two ice creams in her hands.
"...According to your request, I bought both flavors." Miss Xiangxiang said angrily.
Then Zunan said thank you, took two ice creams, and took a bite of each... looking very happy. Xiangxiang's eyes couldn't help but twitch... She originally thought that one of them would be given to her.
"Oh... do you want to eat it?" Ah Nan blinked and handed over the ice cream they had bitten, "Which flavor do you want?"
"...Thank you, no need!" Xiangxiang sat aside expressionlessly...what was she expecting!
"You said before that your mother works in a childcare institution... is it near here?" Zunan asked casually.
Xiangxiang was startled, "It is indeed nearby. It is a kindergarten in the community. I am currently the senior educator there."
"Go and say hello?" Tan Nan smiled and said, "This is not the first time we have met. Didn't you have dinner with your parents before?"
"No need." Xiangxiang shook her head: "I am at work and it does not involve personal matters."
"Just think that I want to visit?" Zunan picked up Xiangxiang and walked forward.
"Hey... wait, I said no need." Xiangxiang said quickly: "Miss Nan, even if you want to go, you are going in the wrong direction!"
"Go buy some small gifts." Tan Nan said with a smile: "You can't go to the kindergarten with empty hands, right? I can be regarded as a foreign guest of your fortress, so I have to show off!"
——For foreign guests... who knows you?
Xiangxiang thought angrily.
…
"Xiangxiang...Miss Nan?"
Xiangxiang’s mother’s surname is Li and her first name is Xianglan. She has been serving in child care institutions for more than 20 years.
Li Xianglan seemed a little surprised because she probably didn't expect to see her daughter at work.
"Aunt, we meet again." Miss Nan TWO smiled slightly, "The last stop today is to visit here. I hope it won't disturb... some gifts for the children here."
"I'm interested." Li Xianglan nodded with a smile.
Miss Nan TWO smiled politely, "Miss Xiangxiang, please give these gifts to the children. I believe you will like this job."
Xiangxiang couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she didn't refuse. She carried two big bags of gifts and walked towards the children in the playground.
"I heard that most of the children here have lost their parents?" Zunan asked casually.
"You can't say that." Li Xianglan shook her head, "Here, everyone will say that they regard them as their own children and their parents."
Zunan looked at Li Xianglan with a smile.
"...Why did Miss Nan suddenly think of coming here?" Li Xianglan asked the other party to sit down.
Zuan Nan smiled and said: "Didn't Auntie talk about adoption before? I thought that if Miss Xiangxiang and I are in need...actually, it's just a matter of understanding it in advance."
Li Xianglan's expression suddenly became unnatural, and she smiled bitterly: "Miss Nan, you know, those are just polite words... As parents, we actually hope that Xiangxiang can return to normal."
Zuan Nan stretched and yawned, "It doesn't matter. Today's technology is so advanced, I can also perform surgery... There will always be a way to give Miss Xiangxiang happiness as a woman."
The corners of Li Xianglan's mouth twitched...Who is this?
"Ha..." Li Xianglan smiled coquettishly, "Ms. Nan seems to be very tired. Can't you get some rest?"
"Hmm... I really didn't sleep well last night. Maybe it's because of my bedmate?" Tan Nan poked her chin, "Speaking of which, Miss Xiangxiang usually lives in the correspondents' dormitory, so she doesn't go home often, right? Did you get used to sleeping last night?"
"Last night..." Li Xianglan was startled and turned her head subconsciously, looking at Xiangxiang who was handing out gifts, "Miss Nan is really good at joking. She has grown up at home since she was a child, so how can she not be used to it? "
"That's right." Tan Nan narrowed her eyes, "What about you, Auntie? If you don't see your daughter for too long, will you feel strange?"
"...It's almost time for get out of class to end." Li Xianglan stood up, "I have to get ready. Parents will be coming to pick up and drop off their children later... Miss Nan, I'll excuse you for now."
"You're busy." Channan smiled and said, "Auntie, Xiangxiang and I are waiting for you here... I will continue to disturb you tonight! The dishes cooked by auntie and the taste of mother are very fascinating."
Li Xianglan opened her mouth, but hesitated. In the end, she said nothing and left quickly - just as she said, she needed to prepare for the end of get out of class.
"What did you say to my mother?" Miss Xiangxiang came over with doubts on her face, "I rarely see her like this."
"What does it look like?"
"Absent-minded?" Miss Xiangxiang frowned and asked suspiciously, "You really didn't say anything weird?"
"No." Zunan came closer, almost in front of Xiangxiang's cheek, "I just asked a little about adoption."
"This is already weird, okay?" She rolled her eyes at the other party angrily, "Do you know that what you said to my parents before almost scared them to death, thinking that I, I..."
"It will be very happy~"
Xiangxiang clenched her fists tightly... After managing her emotions for a while, she smiled professionally, "Ms. Nan, I've already visited here. Where do you want to go next?"
"You can get off work now."
"Okay..." Miss Xiangxiang responded subconsciously, and then immediately responded, "After get off work?"
"Yes." Zunan smiled slightly, "Isn't it a surprise? Not only can you eat and drink at public expense with me, but you can also get off work early. Do you feel like you have been favored by the goddess of luck?"
"I need to report this to the leader." Miss Xiangxiang said thoughtfully.
At this time, Chunan held Xiangxiang's wrist and rubbed the metal ring on her wrist with her fingers. "Is this the communicator you usually use to report?"
"...Please wait a moment." Xiangxiang withdrew her hand directly - who was actually picking her palm!
She quickly walked aside, opened the communication on her bracelet, and explained the situation at this time - to Xiangxiang's surprise, the bracelet quickly responded - allowing her to leave work.
Miss Xiangxiang came back with a strange look on her face.
"How about it? Do you feel that your leader is as generous as me?" Nan Nan smiled.
Xiangxiang shook her head and muttered: "Miss Nan, I can indeed get off work... Despite this, I will still be on call at any time. If necessary, you can find me through the short-range terminal as soon as possible. Also, once again, to Keep an eye on it, many areas will be closed after dark, please don’t wander around.”
"Bye~"
…
She walked out of the childcare center. Xiangxiang hesitated and chased after her, but she couldn't see Miss Nan anymore... She looked at the communication ring on her wrist absentmindedly, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Xiangxiang, why are you still here?"
After Li Xianglan sent a child away, she came over with a puzzled look on her face.
"I'm off work." Xiangxiang did not hide it, "Miss Nan asked... and the boss allowed it."
Li Xianglan looked strange, "What about you?"
"Let's go home." Xiangxiang smiled and hugged her mother's arm affectionately, "Let's go together! Let's discuss the next day off tonight... Will father be back late tonight?"
"Don't touch me!"
Li Xianglan suddenly slapped Xiangxiang's hand away, looking excited.
"Mother... mother?"
"No, nothing." Li Xianglan wiped her face quickly, "My clothes just got dirty... I still have some things to do, so I won't talk about it for now."
"Mother?!" Xiangxiang shouted.
But her mother had already walked back to the yard... She stood there in confusion, knowing that something was wrong in her mother's heart.
The simulated sky in the living area gradually dimmed.
Xiangxiang had never seen the dusk outside the fortress - but it did not affect her love for the simulated dusk color.
The orange-yellow light scattered on her body... She was wearing the new clothes she bought with Miss Nan in the afternoon.
The shoes too.
She leaned against the wall outside the nursery door, gently lifting her feet, waiting for her mother to come out... But all she got was a message from her mother.
—— Your father has a mission tonight and can't come back.
—— A nursery worker in the nursery is sick temporarily, and there is no time to arrange a job at night. I need to stay here to take care of her.
—— You should go back to the staff dormitory to rest first, don't go home, anyway, there is no one.
Xiangxiang then dialed the call, but it showed that her mother had turned off the communication.
She looked up at the closed door, a little absent-minded... It seemed that there was no warmth between the lines of her mother's words.
Miss Xiangxiang sighed and turned away... The holographic simulated sky quickly passed the dusk, and the middle-level living area became much quieter after nightfall.
Only in the buildings of the residential area, lights were on... Most of the employees who lived in the fortress, their families were here.
She did not go back to the staff dormitory - just thinking that if Miss Nan needed to summon her, it would be more convenient to travel from her home in the living area, so Xiangxiang returned to her home in the community.
—— How could there be no one at home?
—— Isn't there me (naughty)
After entering the door, she sent a message to her mother... Just after taking off her shoes, Miss Xiangxiang immediately sent the same text message to her father, and then she lay directly on the sofa at home.
She did not turn on the lights, just letting the lights outside reflect in.
She was dazed and fell asleep quickly.
……
She was awakened by a burst of extremely fast communication sounds... She found her communicator and embedded it in the gap of the sofa.
It was a message from Li Xianglan... There were already many missed calls.
"Mother?" Xiangxiang muttered, "How could it be?"
"You're at home?" Li Xianglan's voice sounded anxious and unstable.
"Ah... I'm back, I was thinking..."
"Leave now!" Li Xianglan's voice changed, sharp and fierce, "Leave now! I don't care where you go, the dormitory... No, don't go back to the dormitory! Go!"
"Mother, what are you doing?" Xiangxiang was full of confusion, "What's wrong with you, what happened?"
"Go-beep-beep!"
"Mother?!"
Miss Xiangxiang suddenly shuddered, almost jumping up from the sofa, her heart was extremely flustered, she rushed to the door without thinking, and started to call her father at the same time.
The shoes were stepped in, and she didn't have time to fix the heels, so she hurriedly opened the door-she planned to go to the nursery.
The moment she opened the door, Xiangxiang saw four mechanical guards.
"You are..."
--"The target has been confirmed."
--"Recovery."
The mechanical guard raised his hand, and a flash of lightning instantly wrapped around Xiangxiang's body...
