There was no quarrel, no temptation, and no vague alienation. This woman lay on his body and fell asleep quietly.
Zhou Jinru was wondering if he could have sex now, but his body stayed in place uncontrollably. A little girl's annoyed voice came from the closed immersion cabin: "Oh no, there is still a period of time after the consciousness returns from the deep dream." Time to adjust.”
Who is this?
Zhou Jinru's eyes rolled and he saw nothing, but the person lying on him woke up.
The slender eyebrows trembled slightly, and when he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the man's awkward yet polite smile.
"Good evening?"
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Zhou Jinru never expected that a woman named Queen Mother Kai would have such a gentle side. He looked at the thin red lips and thought that he had missed a good opportunity.
However, all his expressions and movements were seen by Kelsey: "What did you do?"
I did not do anything.
Zhou Jinru said calmly: "A voice just told me that it takes some time to adapt after returning from a deep dream."
"It turns out you wanted to do it but didn't have the chance."
Zhou Jinru: "..."
As expected, she was still the same Queen Mother Kai, showing no mercy at all.
After returning from the dream, he has been thinking about what the Source Stone is, especially the last memory. For the slow-paced dream world, it is obviously fast forward to the end, ending in the fire of Peterheim Middle School.
Kelsey looked at him blankly and whispered: "If it were Amiya, what would she do?"
"What?"
Then, she leaned down and passed by like a dragonfly, leaving only the stunned Zhou Jinru, who was still feeling the warmth at the corner of his mouth.
"Dr. Kelsey, what happened to you today?"
He regained a little strength, grabbed the woman's wrist, and found that her heartbeat was very fast, and her elegant face was covered with a blush.
Kelsey supported the double walls of the immersion chamber and rolled out. She hooked her high heels with two fingers and stepped on the floor with her bare feet. She walked to the other side. In the process, she gradually adjusted her state and returned to her usual rational and steady state. state.
Zhou Jinru looked at her in disbelief. If it weren't for her rosy face, he would have thought it was just a dream.
"Aren't you satisfied yet?"
"No, I just, can't believe it."
I couldn’t believe that it was Kelsey who took the initiative to kiss him, but what about the phrase “What would Amiya do if it was her?”?
Just when Zhou Jinru was desperately trying to find a topic, Lucille suddenly appeared at the door of the personal clinic. Rhode Island's chief engineer turned his eyes around the two of them several times and asked, "Am I here at the wrong time?"
"You came just in time."
Kelsey said calmly: "Doctor, you can go back, the rest of the work is ours."
Before he could ask anything or say anything, Zhou Jinru was ordered to be kicked out by Kelxi. He left with those questions, looking back at the closed door every step of the way, wondering what was going on tonight.
…
…
"What's going on with you guys?"
But Lucille came a little closer, looked at Kelsey's face carefully, and sniffed with her eyes closed: "Have you finally reconciled?"
"Impossible, Lucille, go do your work quickly, I want to rest early."
The profiteer had an "I don't believe it" expression on his face and snapped his fingers: "Mingyue Xin!"
"Here he is."
A little girl with two heads crawled out from the corner of the electronic screen.
"What just happened?"
Kelsey clenched her fists, a murderous look bursting from the corners of her eyes, and looked at the little girl threateningly.
The little girl made a face at her and said in a clear voice: "The doctor had an accident when he went deep into the lake of consciousness, and the doctor had to end the dream early."
"Hey, Lake of Consciousness?"
But Lucille turned to look at Kelsey and couldn't help but ask: "Is it progressing so fast? I originally thought that I would have to experience at least one more dream before the doctor could touch the edge of the lake of consciousness."
"If there is an accident, the dream composed of group consciousness is not stable. It is just a thin layer of bubbles that will burst as soon as you poke it."
When she said this, Kelsey was silent for two seconds. The man was simply full of thorns.
But Lucille began to check the equipment and asked casually: "Will the dream experiment continue?"
"It will be put to rest for now, at least until he returns from Londinium."
This is good news. After all, traveling to and from the dream world many times will gradually make people lose themselves. Taking a short break can also take time to do summary work.
"I'm not talking about you. Your working hours are too long, especially after you deploy the dream technology. Forget about working during the day, you have to continue working in the dream at night. Is work the only thing left in your life?"
Kelsey frowned slightly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Give yourself a vacation. You won't go to Londinium, but it's not impossible to take a short break in the playground of this ship. And Amiya, you put too much pressure on her, Doctor They are all consciously adjusting her work rhythm, but you are still adding pressure, and I am not as parent-like as you."
"What did you say?"
Knowing she had made a mistake, Lucille quickly shut her mouth: "I didn't say anything, you didn't hear anything."
Staring at this old friend for a long time, Kelsey closed her eyes: "Okay, I understand."
"Hey hey hey, what happened to you today?"
But Lucille deliberately showed a panicked look, pretended to walk up to Kelsey, stretched out her hand to touch her forehead, but was knocked down as expected.
"I am a doctor. Don't I know if there is any problem?"
"But you are indeed very different from before. Is it because of the doctor?"
"Talk too much."
…
…
It was already late at night when Zhou Jinru left Kelsi's personal clinic. He did not go directly back to the dormitory to rest. Instead, he went to the control center and saw Hong walking over the wall halfway.
"PhD?"
Hong jumped down from the wall lightly and walked up to him. The Luper man was wearing a bright red coat as usual, lined with a gray gown, and his big gray tail was swaying back and forth behind him.
"How are you doing with the Kingslayer all this time?"
Zhou Jinru pushed open the door of the control center. All kinds of electronic equipment inside were still running. The person on duty tonight was Du Bin. When she saw Zhou Jinru coming in, she quickly got up to greet her because it was so late and the doctor had not rested yet. There must be something important.
"Except for regular classes and shifts, the Kingslayer spends most of her time in the dormitory with almost no social interaction. She seems to be addicted to those, comics and video games, and she doesn't make any small moves."
"Continuing to stare at her and being unwilling to socialize is her own fault. We can organize some group activities to attract her to participate. Such people cannot let down their guard, but they cannot completely shut them out. In addition, we can appropriately let our Allies know she exists."
If it was a small social activity among the operators, it would not be a problem at all. Dubin knew what to do and agreed to it.
Zhou Jinru stood in front of the big screen in the control center and took a deep breath: "Pull out Zao Lu's personal information and records about her, especially those records about Boris No. 4 Middle School."
Dubin nodded and operated skillfully on the console. Soon, a familiar face appeared on the screen, and relevant records were being retrieved.
She has long silver-white hair, gorgeous heterochromatic eyes, a tall figure, and an aristocratic temperament that is difficult to conceal.
Natalia.
"Why does the doctor suddenly want to see her personal records?"
Zhou Jinru did not answer and continued: "Search for keywords, Alyssa."
A large amount of information is retrieved and filtered by the processor of the control center, and only two relevant pieces of information are left in the end.
The first one is that after Natalia was rescued by Rhode Island, she once begged Rhode Island operators to go to the ruins of Peterheim Middle School to search for Alyssa's whereabouts. The person who handled this matter was Amiya, who had nothing to do with it. In doubt, Little Rabbit agreed and sent a commissioner to investigate, but the matter was fruitless because the fire was too fierce, the disaster was too tragic, and too many people were missing and their whereabouts were unknown.
The second article is on the eve of Natalia leaving Rhode Island for vacation. At that time, Rhode Island had lost its doctor and entered a dormant period. A large number of operators had temporarily left. Natalia also submitted a leave application. She said she wanted to go A friend's hometown took a look, and he was talking about Alyssa's hometown, a land city located in Syracuse.
Du Bin, who was standing aside, looked at Zhou Jinru's contemplative look and said at the right time: "Doctor, we have the contact information of the Zaolu Operator. If you have any urgent matter, you can inform her to return immediately."
"I'll think about it again."
Zhou Jinru waved his hand. His thoughts had returned to the continuous fire. A few minutes before she disappeared, Alyssa seemed to sense something. The words "Natalia is now my employee" she expressed to him did not matter. Any doubt, or even a positive attitude, is highly questionable.
A noble student from Ursus actually knew about the existence of Rhodes Island, and had never resisted it before. Finally, when faced with the words of a stranger whom he had only met a few times, he actually believed it...
"This girl may have died in the fire. She finally left by disappearing. Natalia was also going to disappear, but an extremely fierce monster killed her halfway, grabbed her and ran away. Maybe for To aristocratic students, Winter is a ferocious beast?"
Zhou Jinru's only regret was that he didn't have the opportunity to have more contact with Zhenli. The only time he met her was when he came to collect the express delivery. The girl wearing a monocle on her left eye should be able to see the problem.
"Dubin, do you want to take a day off? I remember that you haven't had a day off for a long time."
"ah?"
Dupin, who always had a serious expression, suddenly became flustered: "Doctor, Rhode Island is still on the rise. I can take my vacation for a while."
"No, no, no, don't think so much. I can't do such a thing as killing a donkey."
When Zhou Jinru said this, he glanced left and right to make sure there was no one nearby before continuing: "What I mean is that only by combining work and rest can we work better. I am going to Londinium this time. The accompanying operator I will leave the list to you, and I will appoint you to lead the team. Do you understand, this is an order."
At the end of the sentence, Zhou Jinru deliberately emphasized his tone and used the word "command".
"Yes, I will draw up a list."
Du Bin, who was a soldier, had no choice but to agree. If it comes to taking a vacation, no one would not want to take a rest. Since the doctor has said it, then just relax.
I heard that Londinium is preparing for celebrations. A large festival held for the "Recovery Day" will definitely be very lively.
"By the way, do you know what 'Recovery Day' is?"
Zhou Jinru felt ashamed in his heart. He had been busy for so long and still didn't understand what the Victoria Festival activities were.
"I know."
Hong whispered from the side.
Zhou Jinru gently rubbed her hair: "Tell me about it?"
"That is an ancient legend. In order to save the world, God was buried in the sea of fire. A long century later, when the world was invaded by the devil, God resurrected in the sea of fire, defeated the devil, and saved the world again."
Dupin shook his head and said: "In fact, even the Victorians themselves don't believe it. Recovery Day is undoubtedly a good day for them to celebrate and relax. As for whether it is related to God, not many people care."
Zhou Jinru was convinced that this was just like having a three-day holiday during the Dragon Boat Festival. The point was the holiday.
In this case, he didn't ask any more questions, took another look at Natalia's personal file, said goodbye to Dubin and Hong, and returned to the dormitory to rest.
A night of silence.
The next morning, Zhou Jinru woke up from his sleep and saw a person sitting next to his bed, with a pair of long legs crossed and a slender devil's tail swaying gently.
"Good morning, Doctor."
Zhou Jinru turned over and propped his head on his arms. He had no intention of getting up. His voice was hoarse: "Do I need to be in the bedroom to say hello in the morning?"
Mostima said without any embarrassment: "Because I only leave the anchor in the doctor's room, so it is in your room every time. Next time I will set it up in the office or on the deck."
Zhou Jinru shook his head and said seriously: "That's not good. If you suddenly appear and disappear suddenly, it will scare others. Others will think there is a thief in the office. It's even worse on the deck. What if someone accidentally falls?" manage?"
"So it's still in the doctor's bedroom?"
"Well, I'm willing to take the risk, just a little compensation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mostema threw something on him and played with the taste: "This is the compensation you want."
It was a pendant, with a slender lanyard threaded through a silver-white bullet. Just holding it in his hand, Zhou Jinru felt an indescribable sense of solemnity.
"What's this?"
Mostema stood up and said calmly: "When I was a Sakota, I fired the first bullet with a gun. You can wear it on your body."
"I also use a gun, will there be any special bonus?"
The fallen angel's smile became even brighter: "Doctor, you can give it a try. Maybe you can do better with this."
