Chapter 38. You're here at the right time

There was no quarrel, no temptation, no alienation, and the woman fell on top of him, sleeping quietly.

Zhou Jinru wondered if he could get on now, but his body stopped in place without obeying the call, and a little girl's chagrin voice came from the closed immersion cabin: "It's a problem, there is still a period of time to adapt after the consciousness returns from the deep dream." ”

Who's this?

Zhou Jinru's eyes rolled, and he didn't see anything, but the person lying on top of him woke up because of this.

The slender eyebrows twitched slightly, and when he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the embarrassed but polite smiling face of the man.

"Good evening?"

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

The woman named Empress Dowager Kai still has such a gentle side, Zhou Jinru really didn't expect it, he looked at the thin ruddy lips, and thought that he had missed the opportunity.

However, his expression and movements were all in Kelsey's eyes: "What did you do?" ”

I didn't do anything.

Zhou Jinru said calmly: "A voice just told me that it will take a while to adapt after returning from the deep dream. ”

"It turns out that you want to do it but don't have the opportunity to do it."

Zhou Jinru: "......"

Sure enough, it was still the Empress Dowager Kai, and she didn't leave any affection.

Since returning from the dream, he has been thinking about what the Source Stone is, especially the last memory, which is clearly fast-forwarded to the end for the slow-paced dream world, ending in the fire at Peterheim Middle School.

Kelsey looked at him stunned and whispered, "If it was Amiya, what would she do?" ”

"What?"

Immediately after, she leaned down and swept by like a dragonfly, leaving only the stunned Zhou Jinru, who was still feeling a trace of warmth at the corner of his mouth.

"Dr. Kelsey, what the hell is wrong with you today?"

He regained a little strength and grabbed the woman's wrist, and found that her heart was beating fast, and a layer of blush climbed up on her plain face.

Kelsey propped up the double walls of the immersion chamber and rolled out, hooking his heels with two fingers, stepping on the floor with his bare feet, and walking to the other side, gradually adjusting his state and returning to his usual rational and stable state.

Zhou Jinru looked at her incredulously, if it weren't for that ruddy face, he would even think that it was just a dream.

"Aren't you satisfied?"

"No, I just, I can't believe it."

I can't believe it was Kelsey who kissed him, but what about the phrase "what would I do if it was Amiya"?

Just when Zhou Jinru was desperately trying to find a topic, Ke Luhill suddenly appeared at the door of the personal clinic, and the chief engineer of Rhode Island turned his eyes around the two of them a few times, and said tentatively: "Isn't it time for me to come?" ”

"You're here at the right time."

Kelsey said lightly: "Doctor, you can go back, the rest of the work is ours." ”

Before he had time to ask anything, he didn't say anything, Zhou Jinru was ordered to be evicted by Kelsey, he left with those questions, and looked back at the closed door step by step, wondering what was going on tonight.

……

……

"What the hell is going on with you guys?"

But Lucille leaned closer, carefully observed Kelsey's face, and sniffed with his eyes closed: "You finally reconciled?" ”

"No way, Lucill, go do your job, I want to rest early."

The profiteer had an expression of "I don't believe it", and snapped his fingers: "Mingyue Heart!" ”

"Yes, yes."

The little girl with two heads crawled out of the corner of the electronic screen.

"What just happened?"

Kelsey clenched his fists, a murderous aura burst out of the corners of his eyes, and looked at the little girl as if threatening.

The little girl grimaced at her and said in a crisp voice, "The doctor went deep into the lake of consciousness and had an accident, and the doctor had to end the dream early. ”

"Huh, Lake of Consciousness?"

But Lucille turned to look at Kelsey and couldn't help asking, "Is it progressing so fast?" I thought it would take at least one more dream before the Doctor could touch the edge of the lake of consciousness. ”

"There was a little accident, and the dream composed of group consciousness was not stable, it was just a thin layer of bubbles, which burst when poked."

At this point, Kelsey was silent for two seconds, and the man was covered in thorns.

But Lucille began to check the equipment, and casually asked, "Is the dream experiment going to continue?" ”

"It will be over for the time being, at least not until he returns from Lentinium."

This is good news, after all, going back and forth to the dream world many times can make people gradually lose themselves, and they can take time to do the summary work after taking a break for a while.

"It's not me saying you, your working hours are too long, especially after the dream technology is launched, even if you work during the day, you have to continue to work in the dream at night, is it that your life is only work?"

Kelsey frowned slightly: "What the hell do you want to say?" ”

"Give yourself a vacation, Lentinium you won't go, but it's not impossible to take a little rest in the playground of this ship, and Amiya, you put too much pressure on her, the doctor is consciously adjusting her work rhythm, you are still pressuring, not as a parent like you."

"You... Say what? ”

Knowing that she was speechless, Luhill hurriedly closed her mouth: "I didn't say anything, you didn't hear anything." ”

Staring at this old friend for a long time, Kelsey closed his eyes: "Okay, I see." ”

"Hey, what's wrong with you today?"

But Lucille deliberately showed a panicked look, pretended to walk up to Kelsey, reached out to touch her forehead, and was knocked off unexpectedly.

"I'm a doctor, is there a problem, don't I know?"

"But you're really very different from before, is it because of the doctor?"

"Mouthy."

……

……

When Zhou Jinru left Kelsey's personal treatment room, it was already late at night, and he did not go directly back to the dormitory to rest, but went to the control center, and saw Hong who was walking on the wall halfway.

"Doctor?"

Red jumped lightly off the wall and walked up to him, the Ruper was dressed as usual in a bright red coat lined with a gray gown, and his big gray tail wagged back and forth.

"How is the monarch killer during 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 here tonight was Du Bin, she saw Zhou Jinru come in, and hurriedly got up to greet her, because it was so late that the doctor had not rested, there must be something important.

"The monarch slayer spends most of her time in the dormitory, with little to no socialization, except for normal classes and duties, and she seems to be addicted to those, comics, and video games, and has no small actions."

"Continuing to keep an eye on her, it's her own business to be reluctant to socialize, we can hold some group activities to attract her to participate, such a person, you can't let your guard down, but you can't completely shut her out, and you can properly let our allies know that she exists."

If it was a small bonding activity between the operators, it would not be a problem at all, and Doberman knew what to do, so he took it.

Zhou Jinru stood in front of the big screen in the control center and took a deep breath: "Bring out the personal information of the early revelation, as well as the records about her, especially those records about Boris No. 4 Middle School." ”

Doberman nodded, skillfully operating on the operating table, and soon, a familiar face appeared on the screen, and the relevant records were being retrieved.

Long silver-white hair, magnificent heterochromatic pupils, tall figure, and an aristocratic temperament that is difficult to hide.

Natalia.

"Why does the Doctor suddenly want to see her personal records?"

Zhou Jinru didn't answer and continued: "Search keyword, Alyssa." ”

A large amount of information is retrieved and filtered by the processor of the control center, and only two pieces of relevant information are left in the end.

The first is that after Natalia was rescued by Rhode Island, she had begged the Rhode Island operatives to go to the site of Peterheim Middle School to search for Alyssa's whereabouts, and the person who handled the matter was Amiya, no doubt that the little rabbit agreed and sent a commissioner to investigate, but the matter was inconclusive, because the fire was too fierce, the disaster was too tragic, too many people were missing, and their whereabouts were unknown.

The second was on the eve of Natalia's vacation from Rhode Island, when Rhode Island had lost its Ph.D. and entered a dormant period, and a large number of operators left temporarily, and Natalia also submitted a leave of absence, saying that she wanted to visit a friend's hometown, which was Alyssa's hometown, located in a land city in Syracuse.

Dubin, who was standing on the side, looked at Zhou Jinru's contemplative appearance, and said at the right time: "Doctor, we have the contact information of the early dew operator, if you have any urgency, you can notify her to return immediately." ”

"I'll think again."

Zhou Jinru waved his hand, his mind had returned to the fire, Alyssa seemed to sense something a few minutes before she disappeared, and she had no doubts about the sentence "Natalia is now my employee" that he said, and even had a positive attitude, which was very suspicious.

An aristocratic student from Ursas knew about the existence of Rhodes and had not resisted it before, and in the end, in the face of the words of a stranger whom he had only met a few times, he was convinced......

"This girl may have died in that fire, she finally left by disappearing, Natalia was also going to disappear, but halfway through the killing, an unusually fierce monster was killed, grabbed her and ran away, maybe for the aristocratic students, Winter is a fierce beast?"

Zhou Jinru's only regret is that he didn't have the opportunity to have more contact with the truth, and the only time he met face-to-face was when the other party came to receive the express, and the girl who wore a monocle in her left eye should be able to see the problem.

"Doberman, do you want to take a vacation, I remember you haven't had a break for a long time."

"Huh?"

Doberman, who always had a serious expression, rarely panicked: "Doctor, Rhode Island is still on the rise, and my vacation can be put aside for a while." ”

"No, no, no, don't think so much, I can't do such a thing as unloading the mill and killing a donkey."

When Zhou Jinru said this, he specially glanced left and right to confirm that there was no one nearby, and then continued: "I mean that the combination of work and rest can work better, I will go to Lentinium this time, and the list of accompanying operators will be handed over to you to draw up, and I will appoint you to lead the team, understand, this is an order." ”

At the end, Zhou Jinru deliberately accentuated his tone and used the word "command".

"Yes, I'll draw up a list."

Dubin, who was born in the military, had to agree to come down, if it was said that he was on vacation, no one would not want to rest, and since the doctor had already said it, then relax well.

I heard that Lentinium is preparing for a celebration, and the big festival for the "Recovery Day" must be very lively.

"By the way, do you know what 'Recovery Day' is?"

Zhou Jinru secretly screamed ashamed in his heart, he had been busy for so long, and he hadn't even understood what the Victorian festival activities were.

"I know."

Red whispered from the side.

Zhou Jinru gently rubbed her hair: "Tell me?" ”

"It is an ancient legend that God died in the fire in order to save the world, and a long century later, when the world was invaded by the devil, God resurrected in the fire, defeated the devil, and saved the world again."

Doberman shook his head and said: "Actually, 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 has something to do with God, not many people care." ”

Zhou Jinru thinks so, this is the same as a three-day holiday on the Dragon Boat Festival, the focus is on the holiday.

In this case, he didn't ask any more questions, looked at Natalia's personal file twice, said goodbye to Doberman and Red, and returned to the dormitory to rest.

Nothing was said all night.

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 overlapped and a slender demon tail swaying gently.

"Good morning, Doctor."

Zhou Jinru turned over, his arms supported his head, he didn't mean to get up at all, and his voice was hoarse: "Do you need to be in the bedroom to say hello in the morning?" ”

Mostima said without embarrassment, "Because I only leave anchor points in the doctor's room, I am in your room every time, and next time I will set it up in the office, or on the deck." ”

Zhou Jinru shook his head and said earnestly: "That's not good, you suddenly appear and disappear suddenly, it will scare others, others will think that there is a thief in the office, and it is even worse on the deck, what if someone accidentally falls?" ”

"So it's still in the doctor's bedroom?"

"Well, I'm willing to take a risk, just a little compensation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mostima threw something on him, playing with taste: "This is the compensation you want." ”

It was a pendant, and the slender lanyard passed through the silver-white bullet, and just holding it in his hand, Zhou Jinru felt an indescribable sense of solemnity.

"What is this?"

Mostima stood up and said lightly, "When I was still a Sakota, shoot the first bullet with a gun, and you can wear it on your body." ”

"I also use a gun, will there be a special bonus?"

The Fallen Angel's smile intensified: "Doctor can give it a try, maybe you can do better with it." ”
