Chapter 986 Leisure

Several days have passed since the settlement of the Ark civilization was completed. This period of time is a rare and stable day.

After Hao Ren came back, he first went to Raven 12345 to make a routine report, but the other party hadn't come back from the God Realm yet. The Raven who took over his shift received him, and regarding the long-term absence of his boss, Hao Ren Ren was happy to have some free time, at least he didn't have to worry about the crazy woman suddenly throwing a bunch of extra tasks at him.

The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly. After several days of continuous gloom, the southern suburbs finally ushered in a rare sunny day. A heavy snowfall last night covered the streets outside with snow. Looking out the window, the entire old street was covered in snow. However, in this cold weather, Hao Ren just wanted to stay in a warm room and be content with looking at the snowy scene outside. So he moved the small coffee table under the window of the living room, made a pot of hot tea at hand, spread a chess game in front of him, and played chess with Yzaks leisurely to relieve his boredom.

Everyone in the family was busy with their own affairs. The living room was quiet, and the only sound of the chess players' moves could be heard. The steam from the hot tea formed a hazy steam on the nearby window. Hao Ren raised his head and looked out. What he saw through the blurry mist was the plain white old alleys of the old city. He thought of his magnificent experiences, of the floating city being rebuilt on the sea of ​​Io and the ecological sowing of Tanagus, of the purgatory planet of the Rift Nebula, and all these magnificent and wonderful scenes gradually melted into the piece of land in front of him. In the hazy snow scene, it gradually faded away from my heart. It is hard to imagine that at the same time, countless joys and sorrows, life and death, and changes in life are happening in countless places in different universes, but the people who have experienced all this are nesting under a warm window sill here and now, guarding A pot of hot tea and a game of chess with a retired old devil. This wonderful feeling of separation made him want to express some emotion, but he didn't know how to express it, so in the end he just let out a sigh of unknown meaning: "Alas..."

"What are you thinking of?" Y'zaks looked up and grinned horribly, "It's not like you're lamenting the chess game."

Hao Ren smiled, picked up one, and dropped it casually: "You said it would be great if the entire universe was as peaceful as here."

"That's the scariest thing I can imagine," Yzaks shook his head. "That means the entire universe becomes a pool of stagnant water and everything dies."

Hao Ren opened his mouth and smiled helplessly: "...it has your characteristics."

The data terminal lay quietly on the window sill next to it, watching boredly as a prosecutor and a demon king passed the time in this way. Suddenly, its body shook, and it became slightly more energetic: "Prosecutor Forum, about you There are new comments on the latest mission report.”

Hao Ren didn't even raise his head: "What's the content of the comment?"

"Basically, I just lamented that the Tiansha Lone Star didn't explode this time. As a colleague, I was extremely surprised by this."

Hao Ren's hand holding the chess pieces froze in the air: "...are they still finished? Is this interesting topic?"

"No way, who asked you to embark on a large-scale project like the Dream Plane?" The data terminal saw clearly, "Think about it, the entire universe is basically the remains of ecological disasters, you can just dig around in a place like this There are at least two ancestral graves in the pit..."

Hao Ren glanced sideways at the terminal and dropped a black stone on the chessboard leisurely: "We are studying elegant art, don't speak so harshly..."

The data terminal suddenly floated up and slapped Hao Ren on the forehead: "What an elegant bastard! Two old men were lying next to the window playing backgammon from 8:30 to 10:30. You are so elegant and artistic. ?! This pot of tea in your hand is the only one considered elegant in the entire living room, and you just use it to warm your hands!"

Hao Ren awkwardly pulled the data terminal aside and pointed at Yzaks: "The problem is that Lao Wang hasn't learned anything else except backgammon..."

"Stop making excuses for yourself. You'll regret three moves even if you play chess with Elizabeth." The data terminal exposed Hao Ren's shortcomings without being polite at all. "Now there are only a few people in the family who are willing to play chess with you." Are Yzaks and Doudou ready?"

Hao Ren: "..."

Yzaks smiled as he watched Hao Ren's daily routine with the data terminal. He threw the chess pieces on the table and stood up to stretch his shoulders: "I won't accompany you. I'll go out for a walk while it's early."

After Y'zaks left, Hao Ren was completely bored. He looked around the living room and found that just as the data terminal said, no one in the family was willing to play chess with him, a bad chess player. So in the end he looked at the fish tank not far away and fished Doudou out of the water: "Hey Doudou, how about playing chess with daddy?"

That's all he got out of it.

After Y'zaks left, Doudou was replaced, and Hao Ren continued to fight his daughter for 300 rounds in front of the chessboard. No matter how the data terminal was muttering next to it, the little mermaid was quite enthusiastic. She happily jumped around the chessboard, holding the chess piece that was huge for her in her hands and thinking hard about the next step. And she Hao Ren, who was opposite him, was sweating on his forehead: He felt that he might not even be able to win this fish...

What Lily and Vivian saw after they came back from shopping for groceries was this scene: Hao Ren and a fish were playing chess opposite each other in front of the window. He was holding the chess pieces in his hands and had a cold sweat on his forehead, while the little mermaid on the chessboard was hugging The chess pieces looked innocent. Hao Ren was still discussing with Doudou: "Can dad regret it again? Just once, I will buy you chopsticks... buy red sandalwood!"

"Look at your potential..." Vivian's voice interrupted Hao Ren from the negotiation, "Are you embarrassed to bully a fish?"

Hao Ren turned around and saw Vivian standing behind him with a vegetable basket, carrying the cold winter air brought in from outside the house. Lily, who came back with Vivian, couldn't wait to rush to the TV as soon as she entered the room: "Change the channel quickly, change the channel quickly, oh, it's too late, it's too late..."

The two of them had just returned from shopping for groceries. Looking at their current appearance, Hao Ren really couldn't imagine that two years ago, when they met, they would become life-and-death enemies. While he poked his head to see what good things were in Vivian's vegetable basket, he muttered casually: "You two have a good relationship now."

As soon as these words came out, Vivian and Lily immediately said in unison: "Who has a good relationship with her!"

"You stole my lines!" Lily suddenly jumped up from the sofa and stood on the armrest of the sofa as if to increase her momentum. "This bat and I went out to buy groceries because of the situation. If we weren't worried about the groceries, I can share the money with her..."

"Aren't you just going to have fun in the snow?" Vivian looked at Lily sideways, "What's wrong with admitting it? You even admit that you are a husky..."

It's really a good thing that Hao Ren didn't interrupt. As soon as he interrupted, Bat and Big Dog started their daily quarrel again, but now they couldn't fight at all. They only talked but didn't use hands. Hao Ren was watching from the side. Holding a Coke: "Is there such a big hatred? You two forgot that you also established a girl group over there in Ark..."

Vivian was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that she and Lily were mistakenly regarded as the "Twin Goddess of Ice and Fire" by the Ark civilization, and her face suddenly became weird: "Landlord, please don't mention this... I actually formed a twin with a husky... …”

Hao Ren curled his lips, thinking that Vivian had only now realized that this reflex arc was quite mysterious. Then he started digging through the vegetable basket, looking for anything he liked. Vivian saw this and slapped Hao Ren's paw off: "Don't make trouble. Big dog, come here and help me choose vegetables..."

Before she finished speaking, a pleasant ringing sound suddenly came from the pocket of her clothes.

Vivian was stunned for a moment before she realized that her phone was ringing. When she took it out and saw the caller's name, she frowned: "It's Hesiana again... I shouldn't have given her my number. Hello?" what happened again?"

Vivian answered the phone slightly impatiently, wanting to hear what reason Hesiana had found to harass her this time. But as she listened, her expression gradually became serious.

"What's wrong?" Hao Ren asked curiously.

Vivian hung up the phone, looking a little confused: "The entire Greek peninsula's witchers have disappeared."

"Uh..." Hao Ren was stunned and didn't understand what he meant, "Disappeared?"

"It just disappeared. All the strongholds are empty. The sentries who are usually responsible for monitoring the movements of aliens don't know where they are." Vivian's voice was a little wavy, as if she still didn't believe the news she just heard, "And it is said that Similar situations were discovered around several other sanctuaries. Hesiana asked if there were any changes in the witchers here."
