Beep beep!
Various devices continued to operate, but because the energy fluctuations contained within the meteorite exceeded the equipment's capacity, piercing alarms gradually began to sound, and the red lights embedded in the walls flickered.
The situation was not good.
"Prepare to cut the meteorite."
"Yes."
"Cut."
The researchers manipulated the robotic arm, preparing to cut the meteorite. With current technology, cutting a meteorite wasn't a problem at all; even the hardest rare metals could be easily sliced through.
Everyone was filled with anticipation.
As the process progressed…
They didn't know what was hidden inside the meteorite.
But with such powerful energy contained within, there had to be something valuable inside.
Gradually…
The situation changed.
There seemed to be something inside the meteorite, preventing the machine from entering.
Smith, the head of the base, researched all sorts of strange things. He had dedicated his life to this work, and was particularly excited when this meteorite was discovered.
He acted as if he had uncovered a shocking secret.
For him…
This was the most important thing.
"Stop."
Smith gave the order, and all the equipment ceased operation, observing the state of the meteorite.
"What's the internal energy reading?"
The feeling he had just experienced couldn't be wrong; the energy fluctuations within the meteorite were significant.
"Increasing steadily!"
A researcher responded.
Crack!
A subtle sound rang out. Any sound, no matter how small, couldn't escape the detection of the equipment inside.
"What was that sound?"
Smith's expression changed drastically. No problem could be overlooked. Often, it was small details that led to major issues.
"Find out immediately!"
Immediately afterward…
Cracking sounds continued.
Someone exclaimed,
"Look at the meteorite!"
Cracks appeared on the surface of the meteorite placed inside. Smith was startled. Could it be that their attempt to cut it had caused it to fracture?
While he was pondering this…
The meteorite didn't give him time to think.
It exploded instantly.
Thick smoke filled the entire lab, debris sprayed everywhere, hitting the glass with a sound, and cracks gradually appeared on the glass surface.
This glass was made with a special process.
Even missiles might not be able to shatter it.
"Quickly extract the smoke!"
Smith shouted.
He desperately wanted to know what had happened to the meteorite. If it was ruined, he would bear a heavy responsibility, letting down the country and everyone involved in the research.
The machines whirred.
The thick smoke inside gradually dissipated.
Soon…
A blurry figure appeared within.
Everyone held their breath.
As if they had seen a ghost.
How could there be a person inside the meteorite?
Smith rubbed his eyes, as if he had seen wrong. Everything that was happening was beyond his comprehension. In his mind, everything had a scientific basis, even paranormal phenomena.
But now…
A person inside a meteorite?
This was completely impossible.
When the smoke was completely cleared, the figure was fully revealed to everyone.
"That appearance…Chinese?"
"No way."
"Why would they look like that? This is impossible."
The members of the research base looked at each other in disbelief. For them, the shock was a bit much.
The appearance of a person wasn't the issue.
What they couldn't accept was that the person looked Chinese. Were they not handsome enough? Were their genes not good enough? It was simply too much.
At this moment…
The person who emerged from the meteorite was dressed in ancient Chinese clothing, handsome, with an extraordinary aura. Although his eyes were closed, an indescribable power emanated from him.
"Who is he?"
Smith was utterly shocked, his heart pounding. He was desperate to know the person's origins, but a voice in his head told him…
Don't make too much contact.
Otherwise, there will be endless trouble.
Not only Smith, but everyone present wanted to know who he was.
No one answered Smith's question.
Then…
Someone noticed the data displayed on the equipment and exclaimed in shock:
"Look at the energy readings! It's terrifying!"
Hearing this…
Smith looked at the data display.
His eyes widened.
Terrifying data.
Truly frightening.
"He's opening his eyes."
The figure slowly opened his eyes. Two beams of light flashed, then the light subsided, returning to normal.
"Where is this?"
Wu Sheng observed his surroundings. From the aura he sensed, there were no strong individuals here, only ordinary people with some slight abilities.
He took a step.
Walked to the glass.
Wu Sheng raised his hand, touched the glass, and applied slight pressure. With a crack, the glass instantly fractured.
This scene shocked Smith and the others, their mouths agape.
Glass that even missiles couldn't destroy, cracked with a light touch.
"Open the passage. I need to talk to him."
Smith ordered.
The people around him hesitated upon hearing their leader's words. Should they really open it? If something went wrong, no one could stop him.
But for Smith, what were they thinking?
The person could crack this kind of glass with a light touch, making him a human missile. Who could stop him?
Therefore…
Smith felt that only communication could lead to progress.
Then he spoke into the microphone:
"Esteemed guest, please wait a moment."
He then hurried towards the figure. He had to stabilize the situation before the person reacted, in case he perceived the environment as hostile and took dangerous actions.
Regardless of what nationality he resembled…
The only certainty was that he came from outer space. The vast universe was full of mysteries that humanity couldn't fully grasp, and this person, who could be called an alien, must possess knowledge beyond their understanding.
Smith stood before Wu Sheng and said respectfully, "Hello, this is a United States research base. You came from outer space, hidden within a meteorite, which we discovered and brought here. Please don't be angry."
"Where is this?"
Wu Sheng couldn't understand the bird language the other person was speaking and asked calmly in Mandarin.
Mandarin.
Smith's heart skipped a beat, a hint of helplessness surfacing. He hadn't expected his guess to be correct, but he hid it well, not letting it show. Instead, he smiled and communicated with Wu Sheng in Mandarin.
"This is a United States research base…"
He directly translated what he had just said.
Wu Sheng looked at him, understanding clearly that this wasn't his intended destination. But perhaps he could gather some information here.
"Do you know where Qianlong Valley is?"
Smith paused, then said, "I don't know where Qianlong Valley is."
Wu Sheng asked, "How can you speak my language?"
"We have a country here called China, and they speak this language."
Just now, Smith had wanted to lie, telling him that it was their second language. But he found that when Wu Sheng asked this question, his expression was serious, and he felt something was off, as if he was being seen through, his every move under scrutiny.
Any lie he told in front of this person would be exposed.
"China."
Wu Sheng pondered. He hadn't heard of such a place, but the mention of 'dragon' indeed resonated. It seemed there was a connection, no mistake.
He wanted to go to China now.
As for these ants before him, he didn't take them to heart. They were too weak, a single glance could kill them, there was no need to waste time here.
Then…
Wu Sheng wanted to leave.
Smith was unwilling to let him go just like that, trying every way to persuade him to stay. But his methods were useless against Wu Sheng's determination to leave.
Watching his departing figure…
Smith felt powerless. He had indeed considered using force to keep him, but given Wu Sheng's power, force would likely be useless.
It might even push himself into an abyss.
Not long after Wu Sheng left…
Smith received a call from the President.
He immediately reported the situation: a mysterious person, possibly connected to China, had emerged from the meteorite, confirmed to be from outer space and highly dangerous. Based on energy readings, even Apollo, the sun god, would not be his match.
Special Department.
"Idol, someone's looking for you."
The gatekeeper, after a short jog to Lin Fan's dormitory, informed him that someone was waiting downstairs. He wore a knowing smile, as if to say… it's a girl, and a pretty one at that.
Stay.
The Demon God's younger sister waited patiently, dressed youthfully, exuding the vibrant aura of a young girl. Having never ventured out before, the moment she searched her wardrobe for clothes, she had already vowed to retrieve the blood, no matter what. Forget all the unnecessary talk; what mattered was speed and determination.
Therefore, she had meticulously prepared her strategy, making all the necessary arrangements, waiting to see if the ensuing events would unfold according to her plan.
At this moment, Lin Fan emerged with Old Zhang.
Lin Fan was curious about who would come looking for him. Everyone had phones; they could have just called.
"Oh, it's you."
Seeing the Demon God's sister, he smiled. She was a genuinely good person, having treated them to numerous meals. They were already considered friends, so he didn't feel any apprehension.
"Are you surprised to see me?" the Demon God's sister asked.
Lin Fan smiled. "No."
The Demon God's sister dangled two tickets in her hand. "I just bought two movie tickets. Would you like to go to the cinema with me? Do you have time?"
"I'm on duty. It wouldn't be good if I left." As a member of the Special Department, he had a strong work ethic, never taking leave, patrolling the city daily with Old Zhang and the hen, helping those in need.
The Demon God's sister pouted. "Aren't we friends?"
"We are friends," Lin Fan replied.
The Demon God's sister pressed, "Who's more important, friends or work?"
Lin Fan said, "Friends."
"Then it's settled. Since you say friends are most important, then you should definitely accompany a friend to the movies. Isn't that right?" The Demon God's sister swore inwardly that she would definitely win Lin Fan over. Not physically, but to retrieve the blood she had left within him.
Lin Fan scratched his head, laughing. "You're right. Since we're friends, I'll go to the movies with you."
"I want to go too!" Old Zhang raised his hand.
The Demon God's sister said, "There are only two tickets. Three people can't watch. Next time, I'll buy an extra ticket and invite you along."
Old Zhang hung his head, feeling disappointed. He really wanted to go, but there were no tickets. It was truly frustrating.
"How about I give my ticket to Old Zhang? You can go with him," Lin Fan suggested. He saw how disappointed Old Zhang was and didn't want his best friend to feel bad. He figured he could just skip the movie and let Old Zhang go instead.
Old Zhang said, "No, the invitation was for you, not me. I'll go back and wait for you. Remember to come find me after the movie."
With that, Old Zhang walked back towards the department, cradling the demonic chicken. The demonic chicken in his arms gave him a look of disdain.s, always just coming and going.
Just because he was a demonic creature didn't mean he didn't understand these things.
He understood no less than a five or six-year-old child.
Golden Harvest Cinema.
Strangely enough, there were relatively few moviegoers today. Just a few scattered couples.
"I've never been to the cinema before."
Lin Fan looked at his surroundings. It looked so high-end and beautifully decorated. He stared at the large screen with astonishment.
What a big television.
To create this opportunity, the Demon God's sister had bit the bullet and bought tickets, essentially booking the entire cinema.
"Entangled Love"
was the movie playing.
How could a cinema show such a film? But for the Demon God's sister, this wasn't a problem at all.
Who was she?
She was a Demon God. Wanting to watch something was just a matter of saying the word.
"What movie is this?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
The Demon God's sister replied, "A romance."
"Oh, I thought it was an action movie," Lin Fan said disappointedly.
The Demon God's sister said, "It's a kind of action movie."
Hearing this, Lin Fan immediately perked up. He loved action movies, the kind with lots of fighting and excitement.
This movie depicted the entangled affections of urban men and women. The plot was secondary; the sex scenes were the real main storyline.
As time passed, the screen showed the male and female leads drinking, embracing in the restroom, and then engaging in some NSFW activities.
The Demon God's sister's fingers, resting on the armrest, resembled tiny legs as they slowly inched towards Lin Fan's arm. She was prepared to go all out. Bringing Lin Fan to see this kind of movie was meant to provoke his desires.
Just one kiss, and everything would be resolved.
Lin Fan felt a tickle on his hand and looked down to see the Demon God's sister's fingers caressing his hand.
"What's wrong?" Lin Fan asked.
"I'm hot," the Demon God's sister replied.
Lin Fan said, "Then take off your clothes."
The Demon God's sister was taken aback. "So direct…"
Lin Fan said, "If you're hot, you should take off your clothes. It's perfectly normal. If you don't want to take them off, you can drink some water."
The Demon God's sister felt Lin Fan was lacking in romance. Then she asked, "What do you think of the movie?"
Lin Fan thought for a moment.
"My wife has taken me to the places they're in. At first, I was really nervous, but then I wasn't nervous at all."
The Demon God's sister stared at Lin Fan in astonishment.
What are you talking about?
