"What's that sound?"
"Holy shit, that exotic beast must have gone crazy!"
While the exotic beasts were rampaging, Yu Sen's group of five, who were fighting against a level four exotic beast, were almost injured by the beast that went berserk without any warning. Fortunately, the exotic beast's target wasn't them, and it ran off in a certain direction.
Zhou Gao wanted to chase after it, but Yu Lin grabbed him and said, "Something's wrong. Let's ask Boss about it and call it a day."
The five of them jumped back into the car as they spoke.
Yu Sen turned on his communicator and contacted Shi Buyu. Before he could connect, Jang Ren exclaimed, "Come here quickly!"
The few of them went over and saw the red warning points on the exotic beast detector's interface quickly gathering in one direction from all directions. Let alone the Level 4 and Level 5 ones, even the Level 6 and Level 7 warning points, which meant that they were beyond Level 5, were densely packed together in a large area.
There were at least a million of them.
Qin Bei's throat was dry. He swallowed and said, "Oh my god … are the exotic beasts having a carnival too?"
Even though they didn't see what was going on, and only saw the numbers that were rigidly increasing, they were still extremely shocked.
"Carnival my ass! Did you manage to contact Boss Yu Sen? "
Zhou Gao cursed loudly.
Yu Sen's palms were sweating, and his entire body was cold. He tried to call Boss Yu again, but the busy tone made him panic.
"What do we do now?"
"Go find Boss!"
Qin Bei and Jang Ren said at the same time. Zhou Gao said, "Where are we going to find him?" His eyes were red as he stared at the center of the storm on the screen.
Yu Lin angrily smacked his head and said, "What nonsense are you thinking about! No matter what happens, Boss will definitely be fine! We'll go look for him at the base. If he's not there, he must be hiding somewhere nearby. We'll go meet up with them right now. "
"My brother is right. Old Jiang, go get the car. Hurry!"
Among them, Jang Ren was the only one who was more stable.
However, before they could start the armored vehicles, the deafening sound of thunder drowned out the terrifying roars of the exotic beasts. Qin Bei leaned out of the car window to see what was going on, but the scene was too far away from them, so he couldn't see anything. All he could hear was the continuous sound of thunder.
"F * ck! Everyone, look! "
Zhou Gao shouted.
He pointed at the alien beast detection screen and couldn't say anything. Jiang Ren, who was driving, also dropped the accelerator and ran over. Everyone only saw that the black and red warning points in the encirclement had disappeared.
Not one by one, but one by one, they disappeared!
After a brief moment of shock, Yu Lin's expression changed drastically, "Jang Ren, hurry up and drive! Go here! "
Qin Bei: "Are you crazy? Let's find Boss first!"
Yu Sen and his brother were telepathically connected, so he immediately understood. His expression was ugly as he said, "If that lightning strike was caused by Boss, he's probably exhausted … We have to hurry over! I'm going to check the beast cores in the warehouse. Old Qin, help Jang Ren. We have to go if we can! "
Zhou Gao stared at the screen. Only when the red sea disappeared did he find his voice with trembling lips, "They're all gone …"
Tens of millions of exotic beasts, regardless of their level or distance, disappeared in an instant.
*
The wound on his back was gently brushed by the man's palm that was filled with Soul Power, healing it.
Gou Liang's body was covered in cold sweat from the pain of his brief confrontation with the rank 7 mutated beast. The gentle Soul Power quickly took away all of the discomfort he felt. At this moment, the Spatial Stop ability had arrived late after the lightning energy had destroyed tens of thousands of mutated beasts.
The surroundings were silent for a moment. Soon, the descending lightning was broken by the frozen space-time, and the roars of the exotic beasts could be heard.
"Idiot, how many times have I told you? You're not allowed to get hurt because of me … I'll go crazy."
The man's cold eyes were tinged with a trace of heartache.
"Shi Buyu?"
Gou Liang looked at the man who was looking down at him. Even though he was hugging him so gently, he was still shocked.
He was actually controlling the Lord God's Law?!
This knowledge made his Origin Soul Body shudder involuntarily.
How was this possible …
Gou Liang was so shocked that he was slow to react. His mind was roaring, and he didn't know if it was because of the residual power of the lightning or because of the faint sigh of the man in front of him.
It wasn't until the main system notified that the mission progress had increased from 50% to 99% that he suddenly came back to his senses.
"Shi Bu — —"
Shi Buyu raised a finger and pressed it against his lips. "You don't like this name," he said. If you're more used to Shi Yu, you can call me that. "
"You, you remember?"
Gou Liang's eyes widened, and he subconsciously moved closer to Shi Buyu. He didn't notice the cautious hope in his eyes.
Shi Buyu didn't answer his question.
There was a hint of apology in his expression. Gou Liang didn't have time to think about it and heard him say, "Xiao Kener, you don't like this world. I'll take you away."
The shocked Gou Liang didn't seem to understand his words. His eyes were blank, but he quickly understood what he wanted to do!
His soul was being devoured, and his soul was dying.
He was no stranger to this process. Thousands of years ago, before he died, he had experienced the same thing — the transition of the world, the end.
[Level 1 Warning!!]
[The Lord God's consciousness has awakened. The current world will be reset to zero in 30 seconds. Executor, please find a way to advance the last 1% of the mission progress!]
The main system's voice couldn't remain calm, and the mechanical voice was very urgent.
Only then did Gou Liang remember the mission that he had thrown to the back of his mind. He immediately grabbed Shi Buyu and shouted, "Stop! Shi Buyu, stop right now!! "
"Xiao Kener?"
The man's tone was a little doubtful, but his movements really did stop, and he appeared very docile.
Gou Liang's hand was dripping with cold sweat, and he nervously repeated, "Calm down, calm down first. Don't be rash."
"I'm very calm."
Shi Buyu said. He suddenly touched his face and whispered, "Did I scare you?"
Gou Liang's Adam's apple moved, and he instinctively shook his head. Shi Buyu frowned slightly, not believing his answer.
"I'm not scared, really."
Gou Liang said. His pair of peach blossom eyes stared at Shi Buyu for a long time, and he suddenly raised his hand to pinch his face. The real touch made him feel slightly relieved. Gou Liang revealed a complicated smile and said, "I'm really not scared, it's just that the surprise came too quickly … Who are you? Tell me, who are you? "
Shi Buyu's finger pressed against his dimples, and he laughed softly, "Silly hole, when will you remember me?"
"What?"
Shi Buyu lowered his head and touched his lips. Gou Liang blinked, and before he could react, the sweet banana flavor of soul power entered his mouth and directly merged with his soul.
Gou Liang felt his soul leave his host body uncontrollably, and the soul that was exposed to the Core God's laws was branded. The gentle and sweet taste made him drown.
A force that originated from the Core God's laws forced him, and Shi Buyu raised his hand to block it. He quietly watched Gou Liang engrossed in devouring his soul power. A mysterious pattern gradually converged on the left side of his chest as Gou Liang devoured his soul power, and then disappeared without a trace.
Gou Liang finally heard Shi Buyu say, "Xiao Kener, I won't allow you to leave me again."
His soul fell back into his host body, and Gou Liang immediately fell into a deep sleep.
He had a very long dream, and in the dream, someone held him in the palm of his hand.
His body seemed to have shrunk, to the point that he felt that the man's palm was wide. A familiar voice softly whispered something in his ear, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hear it clearly. It wasn't until the man gently put him down that he finally heard his voice, "Silly hole, little glutton. Wait for me to come back, and I'll bring you delicious food … "
Gou Liang watched that person leave, and a wave of reluctance and sadness suddenly appeared in his heart. He anxiously shouted for him to stop, and called out with all his strength, but the man didn't even turn his head.
"Xiao Kener, wake up, Xiao Kener?"
There was a voice that came and went by his ear, but Gou Liang was focused on chasing the blurry figure in his dream, and wanted to stop him from leaving. In the midst of his anxiety, he finally forced the voice out of his throat.
Gou Liang only heard himself shout —
Woof!
Woof??
Gou Liang, who felt that something was wrong, suddenly woke up from his dream.
"… Xiao Kener, what did you say? You're finally awake, can you hear me? "
Shi Buyu's voice broke into his ear like a large bell, and Gou Liang suddenly woke up. "Shi Buyu … Shi Xiaoyu?"
"I'm here, how do you feel?"
Shi Buyu's anxious and pleasantly surprised expression was very familiar, but it made Gou Liang feel that it was somewhat unreal. Then, the revolting emptiness in his stomach and the curling pain made him completely unable to calm down and think. "Hungry …"
Hearing this, Shi Buyu's hanging heart finally settled down, and he hurriedly carried Gou Liang.
"Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?"
Shi Buyu hurriedly opened a tube of Gou Liang's specially made liquid energy medicine. Seeing that he still had the strength to absorb it, he touched his head and attentively watched him absorb the nutrient solution.
Gou Liang looked at him inquisitively, but Shi Buyu looked like he had forgotten what happened that day, and his behavior did not change at all.
Before he could figure out why, Yu Lin, who was standing guard outside, ran in.
"Miss Tang, you're finally awake!"
Yu Lin was pleasantly surprised. "You scared us to death, you suddenly couldn't wake up. You've been sleeping for a day and a night, do you know that? If you don't wake up, Boss is going to cry! "
He was shouting like Zhou Gao, and it was obvious that he was also frightened.
Seeing Shi Buyu hugging Gou Liang and looking like he needed Teacher Gou to comfort him, Yu Lin tactfully expressed that he was going to share the good news of Gou Liang waking up, and called the others back.
Gou Liang looked at him in confusion, and then back at Shi Buyu.
He slept for a day and a night?
What about the battle, why didn't they mention it? Why did it seem like nothing had happened?
Shi Buyu saw that his eyes were still dazed and confused, and his heart softened. He kissed his forehead and coaxed him in a low voice. "Good boy, let's not think about this for now. Let's talk about it after we're full."
"Oh."
Gou Liang was so obedient that he was dazed, and Shi Buyu's face finally regained a trace of a smile.
[Xiao Si, pull up the surveillance footage after I fell asleep … Xiao Si?]
Gou Liang was surprised when he did not receive a response from the system.
[Main system: No. 00401, please note that the system was attacked by an unknown force, and the 004 system has been damaged and has entered the maintenance room. During the maintenance period, please manually control the system functions.]
[In addition, the current time is 12: 50: 43 on March 30, 2124. Due to unknown reasons, the mission world experienced a space-time reversal, lasting for 24 hours. What happened in the space-time that was replaced, do you have any impression?]
A space-time reversal?
Gou Liang's eyes widened in surprise.
He remembered very clearly that 12: 00 noon on the 30th was the time when he and Shi Buyu were attacked by the level six four-winged dragon, but at this moment, he was in Shi Buyu's arms drinking a nutrient solution. Not only did the system collapse, but even the main system's relevant memory data was erased …
Thinking of this, Gou Liang looked at Shi Buyu with a bit of curiosity in his eyes.
Who are you? Are you what I think you are?
"What's wrong?"
Shi Buyu hugged him tightly, obviously still in a state of shock.
"I slept for a day and a night?"
"Yes." Shi Buyu nodded. "It's exactly 24 hours … Is it because you've been using your ability too frequently during this period of time that you're tired?"
Gou Liang shook his head and continued to drink the nutrient solution with a slurp. He appeared to be completely focused. Seeing this, Shi Buyu did not disturb him and went to get him another tube of nutrient solution.
In fact, Gou Liang had already returned to the sea of consciousness.
Without the chattering Xiao Si, the turbulent sea of consciousness seemed to be very calm.
Gou Liang sat cross-legged and looked up at the void. "Main system, what is the goal of my mission? What is the origin of the fragments? "
"The executor's question is beyond the scope of the mission. Forgive me for not answering."
"Then, is the consciousness of the main god really in a deep sleep?"
"No comment."
"In fact, the fragments collected in each world are the consciousness of the main god that is in a deep sleep, right?" Gou Liang was very dissatisfied with the main system's evasiveness and sharply voiced his guess. "You didn't lose anything at all, but the consciousness of the main god of these worlds suddenly fell into a deep sleep, and my mission is just to wake him up?"
The main system paused for a moment and said in a rigid mechanical voice, "Please complete the mission seriously, and do not ask anything unrelated to the execution of the mission."
"So, with me … we're the main god?"
I slept with the main god? And more than once?!
Hearing his thoughts, the main system couldn't take it anymore and said, "… Shut up, no. 00401."
Gou Liang suddenly laughed and said, "This tone sounds very familiar. Director, when did you hold a position in the system?"
The main system, a certain director of the Space Administration, was speechless.
Gou Liang muttered, "For you to follow up on this mission, it seems like my guess was right. But why did the main god's consciousness suddenly fall into a deep sleep? If I collect all the fragments and awaken the main god's consciousness of these worlds, what will happen to me? What will happen to him? … Will he no longer belong to me after the mission is completed? Or even … will he forget me? "
Sensing his sudden negative attitude towards the mission, the main system hurriedly warned, "No. 00401, executor, please complete the mission actively. If the main god's consciousness is unable to awaken in the time allotted, the main god will —"
The main system suddenly realized that it had let the cat out of the bag and instantly understood that it had fallen into Gou Liang's trap!
The main system gritted its teeth, but what was done could not be undone.
And Gou Liang, who had received the answer, instantly jumped up. The sea of consciousness that represented his inner world was in a perilous situation. The calmness just now was just a facade that he had forced himself to maintain.
"Is it really the main god? How can the main god fall into a deep sleep? And why is it me? Why does it have to be awakened in such a way? Why did he say that I forgot him? What is going on? "
Gou Liang couldn't calm down at all. Too many questions made his mind a mess.
However, even the main system couldn't give him an answer. After being repeatedly asked by Gou Liang, it could only say, "The original questionnaire was created by the main god's law. You were the only one who got a full score … No, it should be said that the others didn't even reach the passing mark."
The main system, or a certain director, had personally participated in a question and answer session. The result was that the brilliant director's score was terrible … 2 points.
"How many executors are there? Are they still on the mission? "
Gou Liang furrowed his brows.
Seeing that the biggest secret had been exposed, the main system didn't hide it anymore. "When you completed the second world mission, they were expelled from the mission world and couldn't enter. Now they are on the mission of retrieving lost souls. "
Gou Liang asked again, "Is there a time limit for the mission? How long is it? "
He had never heard of this before.
"It's not clear yet. The sooner the better." The main system said, "Therefore, the executors must actively complete the mission. If the fragments of the main god's consciousness are not collected in a certain time, the main god will fall into a deep sleep forever. The consequences will be unimaginable."
So how long was a certain time limit?!
"Xiao Kener?"
Gou Liang suddenly came back to his senses. "Yes?"
"Do you still want to sleep?"
Shi Buyu looked nervously at Gou Liang, who was in a daze. His eyes were full of worry.
Gou Liang looked at him quietly for a while. Suddenly, he straightened up and knelt on his legs. He held his face and asked, "Shi Xiaoyu, will you leave me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Shi Buyu rubbed his hair in amusement. Seeing that he was stubbornly waiting for an answer, he said, "I won't. I swear."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gou Liang felt a burning sensation in his heart. The resonance from the soul was circulating in his heart.
Shi Buyu … or rather, the mark left by the main god before he left. This mark was part of the main god's soul power and was closely related to Shi Buyu's soul. At this time, this mark was clearly telling him that the oath was in effect and he would never betray him.
Gou Liang laughed. Since he came to this world, he had never laughed as freely as he did at this moment. He laughed so hard that his eyes became moist.
He said, "Shi Buyu. Actually, this name is quite nice."
"Yes?"
Shi Buyu didn't understand.
"I said, I love you."
While Shi Buyu was in a daze, Gou Liang kissed Shi Buyu's lips. He eagerly and savagely demanded, trying to prove to everyone that this man belonged to him, regardless of whether he was the main god or someone else.
Therefore, when Yu Lin led the others back to the team, he was the first to open the car door. He saw Teacher Gou pushing Boss to the ground and the two kissing passionately.
He only had one thought.
Why is it me again?!
