Chapter 6: The Temporal Authority's Cafe
After a brief thank-you, Twilight and Youma said goodbye and left. As he left, Astral's eyes were always on Twilight.
Because Astralar felt the strange power of Yudu's reach.
Seeing Astra floating around, Yuma couldn't help but ask, "Why are you still following me?" ”
Astrar: "Because even if I wanted to, I wouldn't." It seems that for some reason, it is impossible to leave your side. If I can recover my memory, I might be able to find a way to leave. ”
Yuma: "So how can you recover your memory?" ”
Astrar: "Collect [No.]! ”
Yuma: "I refuse!" I don't want to do such a thing! ”
……
On the other side, Twilight walked to the door of a residential building by herself. This is where Yudui rents, and this is where he lives during this world operation.
Because it was just a place to sleep and rest, the room was not big, only a few dozen square meters.
Once inside, Twilight walks to the other side. As you press the button on one side, an elevator door appears out of thin air, and as the door opens, you Dusk steps into it.
As the elevator closes, Twilight focuses her eyes on a scanning hole.
Inside the scanning hole, after scanning Twilight's pupils, an electronic sound was heard.
"Certified! Oriental twilight. ”
Then there was a jolt. This feeling lasted only a few tens of seconds, and when it was quiet, the elevator doors opened, and Twilight appeared in a neon glow filled with cotton, but it looked like a café.
This is the café of the Temporal Authority headquarters, which is also a lounge. In other words, Twilight has now reached the headquarters space battleship in outer space that has left the earth.
And Yudu's residence is also teleported here directly through the elevator of the space jump device.
But it's a café for Yuki and them to provide a place to rest. Occasionally, the rest of the companions, when they have no tasks or nothing to do, will rest here or have some coffee.
The café is not too big, and it occupies less than 200 square meters. The café reception, sofas, tables, all kinds of green vegetation, and some strange animated character portraits (all kinds of big avatars that show wonderful faces, especially Malik and Becuta), are probably all caused by Eleanor's own quirks.
In addition to these, there are even pool tables, dance machines, and fitness equipment, which makes Twilight wonder if this is really a café, and this can even be considered a tavern.
"Welcome to the Temporal Authority's café, Mr. Oriental Twilight. Lena greeted the guests with a sunny smile. ”
Lena, dressed in a maid costume at the front desk of the café, greets Twilight respectfully, but she doesn't have a smile on her face. "I wish you a great time to relax at the café, which offers a variety of drinks that are not limited to coffee."
Lena, dressed as a maid, is Lena 086. It's Lena, who is specifically in charge of working here.
There are not many people in the café at the moment, only Pomegranate and Qiu Xuan.
Pomegranate is sitting at a table in front of the bar, drinking the bright red wine in the goblet, looking like she has an endless aftertaste.
Qiu Xuan, on the other hand, was lying on the sofa and sleeping, with a book on her face and a drink on the table next to her. It's like reading a book and drinking a drink.,Leisurely enjoyment.,And then before you know it, you're sleepy.。
Pomegranate put down the goblet and couldn't help but laugh and tease: "Oh, how does it feel to go to school to be a teacher on the first day of work?" Is the bear child easy to manage? ”
You Du sat on Pomegranate's side and smiled slightly, "It's smoother than expected." But to be honest, before Eleanor assigned me this status, I never imagined that I would become a teacher one day. Lena 086, have a cappuccino, thank you. ”
"Yes, sir, please wait a minute. Lena said respectfully. Then Lena turned around and started making coffee.
Pomegranate shook the wine glass in her hand slightly, and asked in turn, "It's hard work for you after a hard day." Why don't you treat yourself to some red wine? ”
As she spoke, Pomegranate smiled at You Twilight and even handed him the bottle of red wine.
You Dusk: "Do you even have red wine here?" ”
"Nope." Pomegranate replied directly. "I brought it myself. Would you like to try it? My favorites. ”
You Du worked for a day, but he was also willing to chat with pomegranates. After all, it can be as peaceful and stable as it is now, and last month in Duel World 5dS, I was busy trying to save the world.
"It's very precious, you are willing to drink ......"
Pomegranate elaborated on her red wine values: "Wine is for drinking, no matter how expensive red wine is, just looking at it and not willing to drink it, so what's the point?" It's like a delicious cake that is reluctant to eat and spoils sooner or later! So, do you drink or not? After this village, there is no such shop. ”
"Let's have a little bit of it, then."
Pomegranate took the glass from the side, then poured a glass of red wine into the glass and handed it to Twilight.
But there wasn't much wine in the glass, not even a fifth.
Seeing this, You Du couldn't help but sigh: "You are so stingy, Sister Pomegranate." But I also ordered other drinks, and I couldn't drink the cappuccino if I drank too much. Speaking of which, what have you been up to lately? ”
As she spoke, Twilight had already taken a sip of new wine.
Speaking of this, Pomegranate couldn't help but "cut": "What can be done is all chores in the bureau." Familiarize yourself with the facilities of the bureau. Until now, I haven't been given a decent assignment. But that's fine, it's not a bad idea to have fun here like a vacation. Speaking of, what about you? Weren't you commissioned by Eleanor to find Kurosaki Hayabusa? ”
Twilight: "Well, but I don't have any news yet. If he is really still in Xinyuan City, then it will be a matter of time before he finds his traces. Nor is there a rush for a while. If he still plays that character in my memory, I'm afraid that when something happens, I'll definitely be able to find him. ”
"Your cappuccino, please use it slowly. Lena said in a flat mood. ”
Lena 086 delivered a cup of cappuccino to Twilight. The rich coffee also has the shape of a swirl, and you can't help but feel hypnotized after looking at it for a long time.
Pomegranate raised her hand and shook the wine glass gently: "However, when the matter of the 5dS world is over, the cadres of Prometheus will probably send someone here." If you let them find the falcon in advance, how are you going to deal with it? ”
"I can't help it if that's the case. However, I think with Hayabusa's strength, since he can come out, as long as it is not for the large number of Prometheus cadres, even if it is discovered, it will not be so easy to catch him. But that's all for later. ”
As he spoke, You Du looked at Qiu Xuan, who was sleeping on the sofa not far away, covering her face with a book, and couldn't help but ask.
"But, what's wrong with Qiu Xuan, how do you sleep here?"
"I don't know exactly."
Pomegranate shook her head: "But Qiu Xuan has always been alone in Xinyuan City recently, and it's always at night, so she usually doesn't have energy during the day, so she dozes off." ”
"Isn't that concrete?" You Dusk couldn't help but complain.
However, You Dusk can also guess that this world is the world where Qiu Xuan originally lived. Maybe going out alone is to miss my hometown. But why go at night?
"Maybe it's better to talk to her."
Pomegranate reminded You Du from the side: "In the past month, during your training, Qiu Xuan went out when he was fine, and when he came back, he looked thoughtful. ”
"I see."
After drinking all the coffee, he came to Qiu Xuan's side.
And Qiu Xuan didn't sleep very much, and after feeling that someone was coming, he took the book off his face and sat up.
"Oh, Twilight, you're here. I heard that you were sent to be a teacher by that girl from Eleanor. Is it still going well? ”
"Everything is going well."
You Du then returned to the topic: "I heard that since you came here, you have often gone to Xinyuan City by yourself. It's obvious that I'm back in my hometown, but why don't I look a little happy? Because your brother isn't there? ”
"Well, there are parts."
Qiu Xuan didn't intend to hide it from You Dusk, but just hugged her bent legs and leaned her face on her knees.
"It's back to the world I'm in. However, I have no parents and no home. Now the elder brother is also in the hands of Prometheus, waiting to become a sacrifice. Although he learned from Weide's mouth that his brother has not yet been used as a sacrifice. However, I still miss him. ”
"So every night I go to where we used to live. But now that place has been demolished. Now it's a construction site. I want to try to find the place I remember. But, when you think about it, I spent most of my time sick in a hospital bed. There's nothing to remember either. ”
"Don't you have any friends in this world?"
Qiu Xuan shook her head: "No." I was sick a lot when I was in elementary school, so I didn't have many classmates to interact with. ”
As she spoke, Qiu Xuan looked at the neon lights on the ceiling: "Xinyuan City has the largest amusement park in the world, and even those who are not wealthy can enjoy it. But because I was frail and sick since I was a child, my brother couldn't take me with me......"
At this time, You Du rubbed Qiu Xuan's head from the side: "It's really a pity, then, after my work at school is finished tomorrow afternoon, I'll take you to the playground in Xinyuan City to play." ”
"Well, really? You're going to take me to an amusement park? ”
Qiu Xuan suddenly felt happy and excited when she heard this. Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, there is no need to take care of me so specially. Besides, I'm grown up now, so I don't need to go to the amusement park for me......"
Twilight: "Who rules that amusement parks are only for children?" Wouldn't it be nice to go and have a change of mood? At the same time, satisfy the regrets of your childhood. How is it? ”
When I think of being able to play at an amusement park with Twilight, this kind of precious moment is not always available.
So You Du and Qiu Xuan agreed that they would go to the amusement park with Qiu Xuan tomorrow afternoon after the school work was completed.
However, things don't always go their way. Since yesterday evening, I think it's the time since you arrived at the café. Suddenly, there was a loss of control of the traffic light, and all the loss of control related to robots and other machinery, and it also caused a lot of accidents. This results in multiple paralysis. The amusement park was also affected, and most of the facilities were being repaired. As a result, business was suspended.
And Youma's side was also affected by this incident. For example, he was caught by a rampaging robot and stuffed into the trash, his sister's computer suddenly crashed, and all the manuscripts that had not been saved were gone. They are also investigating the matter.
And Astral learned about humans through the observation of traveling horses. Included in the cycle of eating to replenish energy, and excreting after eating. New observations were even made.
"Humans repeat the eternal cycle of expulsion after eating, and if the process of expulsion is seen, they will die".
"Woo woo woo ......"
That night, at the entrance of the amusement park, I saw a reminder board that was being repaired and did not pick up customers. Qiu Xuan's disappointment was like a deflated balloon.
Even for today, she even deliberately changed into a new dress to dress herself up beautifully. As a result, this kind of thing happened, and it is self-evident how the feeling of loss in his heart was hit.
You Twilight knew that this time it was another trouble. I know why, and I know who did it.
The chaos caused by the hacking of the system that controls the whole city, the other party is a hacker with good skills.
"Twilight ......"
Being looked at by Qiu Xuan with a pitiful look, You Du couldn't help but feel distressed for her. "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen, let's come back after the next repair!" ”
"Hmm......"
Looking at Qiu Xuan's lost appearance, You Du couldn't help but feel annoyed. The promise made to the girl could not be kept, which made me feel more frustrated than ever. Although it was a coincidence that this kind of thing happened, I was still very annoyed.
"No, you can't just go back!"
Qiu Xuan's deflated appearance didn't last long, but he said unwillingly: "Even if you can't go to the playground, you can't just waste today's time!" I can't dress up like that! ”
You Du complained: "Is this the focus of your attention?" ”
I was not happy to complain about Qiu Xuan. "What do you mean! Do you know how long it took me to dress up like this tonight? ”
At this time, You Twilight found that not far away, You Ma, Little Bird, and their squad leader were running with them in nowhere else.
"Uh-huh——!"
At this moment, in the alley on the other side, there was a sudden scream of people. At the same time, Twilight suddenly felt a high energy response, but only for a moment.
Hearing this, You Dusk's expression suddenly froze. Qiu Xuan was also completely attracted by the sound just now.
You Twilight had a bad feeling and hurriedly ran out in that direction.
"Hey! Wait for me! Twilight! ”
Qiu Xuan held her skirt in both hands to avoid running too fast, so she would stain her skirt.
When Qiu Xuan came to the mouth of the alley, he looked at You Du standing in place, and couldn't help complaining: "Really! Twilight! You're waiting for me! Run so fast! Did something happen. ”
When Qiu Xuan got closer and came to You Dusk's side, he found that a man who looked like a gangster was lying on the ground and fell to the ground.
It's just that the man's hair is pale, and his body is as thin and shriveled as if he is getting old. It rarely seeps into people, and looks like it has been sucked dry of blood and essence by a vampire.
"Ah——!hh
Qiu Xuan couldn't help but be startled, and subconsciously leaned next to You Dusk. "This ...... What's going on, Twilight! ”
This symptom is clear to Twilight, it is a symptom of the soul being pulled out of the body. "[No.] Hunter, have you already started moving?"
