Chapter Twenty-Nine: Stupidity is Contagious
The next night.
"Ahh
Unlike the cute sneezing sound that sounded from time to time in the office in the previous two days, the person who sneezed today was replaced by Yi Cheng.
For an ordinary person, after soaking in the sea water for half a night, and then falling from the second-floor window to the first-floor lawn with the Soul Breaker, although he was not physically injured, he was undoubtedly mentally frightened.
"But...... Anyway, I survived. ”
Life is often so dramatic, it stands to reason that with Yi Cheng's physique, it is impossible to hold on to a soul breaker who can't swim for so long in the icy waters, but it is because during the day, the father of the soul breaker poured him a few cups of loose white that he didn't know what material was concocted, coupled with the rich heat brought by the bullwhip cow treasure beef offal, so that he experienced such an extreme survival, the final result...... It's just a cold.
"Tea."
The steaming tea was placed in front of Yi Cheng, who had a red nose, and looking at the empathetic and considerate little crystal, Yi Cheng couldn't help but be moved to tears.
So...... The most reliable savior is still crystal!
Although it was only one night, it seemed like a lifetime for Yi Cheng, and after all the things he had experienced, he could finally understand why the seemingly taciturn crystal could become the field director of the Savior's management office.
Because, compared to the gossip girl with outstanding ability or the unreliable stupid and cute cow, the pragmatic crystal can give people a sense of trust and security!
"Uh......h Thank you ......."
"No thanks."
As Yi Cheng began to gulp down the tea to ward off the chill that had accumulated in his body, Crystal stood beside him, curiously looking at the line he had written on the back of a document—
"No matter what kind of accidents, mistakes, or mistakes occur in the course of events, the final result will always be success!"
"What is this?"
"Oh...... In a sense, it's my ...... Motto? ”
As I said before, I couldn't lie to the pure eyes of the crystal at all, so now, what Yi Cheng said didn't mean to deceive in a sense.
In fact, as a devout believer in metaphysics, Yi Cheng still feels that the credibility of this "protagonist halo theory" that reverses Murphy's law is really debatable, however, this does not prevent him from subconsciously beginning to vaguely expect the real existence of this ability.
Because, if the next situation is still as bad as the previous night, then, with the blood of an African tribal chief, there is probably only this possibility for him to survive.
"It's a strange statement."
Although she sensed that there seemed to be some profound meaning in this sentence, it was obviously not her character for Crystal to think about this kind of question, so then, after packing up her things a little, she naturally walked in the direction of the bathroom.
"Hmm...... By the way, why don't I try to take a hot shower later? ”
Being reminded by seeing the action of the crystal, for people with colds, a hot bath is of course the best enjoyment, especially after returning home during the day today, the exhausted Yi Cheng slept directly until work time, and now he can still feel that there seem to be solidified sea salt particles on the surface of the skin sliding down his clothes and trousers.
"Ahh
Yi Cheng, who sneezed loudly again and decided to wait for the crystal to finish his routine and then go to the shower, then began to worry about the second thing.
To say that the task assigned to him and the Spirit Breaker by the Red Mentor before was to track the whereabouts of Dr. Abalone, but judging from yesterday's situation, Dr. Abalone obviously expected a similar situation in advance, and the route chosen to escape was actually at sea, and in order to avoid satellite detection, he chose to travel from the bottom of the sea.
Of course, ordinary people can't do this, but since they are called "Dr. Abalone", this kind of thing is obviously only pediatric. And the result of his doing so is that the task of tracking between Yi Cheng and the Soul Breaker now seems to be uncomplete......
"Hoohoo!"
While thinking about how to solve the problem next, Yi Cheng heard the sound of knocking on the glass and greeting someone outside the window.
Protagonist, open the window for me! ”
"If you don't open it, you can't open it, you can't open it!"
"I'm your savior!"
"That's because of this, so for the sake of your and everyone's life safety, whether it's a window or a chimney, I will strictly control it!"
After a new period of "Dragon Quest", the reluctant Dragoons finally flew half a circle around the house to the main entrance on the first floor, and then rushed down the stairs into the office on the second floor in a huff.
"It's all because you've been a bad night!"
All right...... Regardless of whether it is beautiful or not, Yi Cheng finally knew that the reason why she was reluctant to go through the main entrance was because the stairwell of the office from the first floor to the second floor was too narrow, so she couldn't fly up......
"Even if you learn to fly, after all, humans are higher animals that walk upright."
No matter what kind of problem you face, you can solve it with just a cup of tea—and Isei, who is now drinking tea, interprets this famous saying well, so soon, the dragoons give up the battle and float in the air with a teacup in hand.
"By the way, Soul Breaker, is she alright?"
This morning, after falling downstairs, he briefly lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he found himself lying on the bed in his bedroom, so Yi Cheng didn't know what happened after that.
Moreover, so far tonight, the Soul Breaker has not appeared, which also makes Yi Cheng a little worried about her.
"It's okay, it's okay, she's just scared, it's probably okay to take a break."
The dragoon fanned the heat from the mouth of the teacup with one hand in a bored manner, while absentmindedly answering Isei's question.
"It's you, the protagonist, who gave you a bad performance yesterday."
"Huh?"
I thought that I had protected the Soul Breaker well in that situation, so at least I could confer an award or an internal report or something, but now, the words of the dragoon made Yi Cheng confused.
"In that case, I can't do anything as an ordinary person, right?"
"You're not the same as the Soul Breaker, you have a brain, a brain!"
…… In other words, even the dragoons discovered the fact that her savior colleague was actually big-minded. 、
"Then you can tell me, in that case, what else can you do but wait for rescue?"
As the Soul Breaker said, last night, the two of them were at the end of their rope and couldn't even find a target to unleash their supernatural abilities......
"So, you two forgot, even if you can't use Dr. Abalone as a target, isn't there another steam robot Abu!"
That's right!
Yi Cheng, who realized it later, now only feels that he is crying stupidly.
When they set off yesterday, they used Yicheng's own "existence", and later used his "existence" after tracking Dr. Abalone, but at the scene of Jinmen Port, isn't there still the "existence" of the steam robot Abu!
"I'm so stupid...... Really ......"
Yi Cheng, who looked sad, looked down at his completely underdeveloped pectoral muscles.
Sure enough, stupid people are contagious, but after working with the Soul Breaker for a while, his IQ has been declining along with his SAN value.
"Okay, okay, it's understandable that I can't make a correct judgment because I don't know about Soul Breaker's abilities, in short, next time I have a similar situation, remember to learn and use it."
It's better that there won't be a next time!
Selectively ignoring the dracusman's indiscriminate flag-raising mouth, Yi Cheng naturally asked about his current concern.
