Chapter 9: Cooldown time for traveling through the world
Su Xiaoqiao's home.
Su Xiaoqiao and her father sat on the sofa, Su Jiannan had been sitting there pondering since he finished saying that Lu Mingfei was not simple, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Su Xiaoqiao was already thinking about whether to find a thermometer - her father was so abnormal today, he must have a fever and was confused.
"Xiaoqiao," Su Jiannan said suddenly, "Since you and Lu Mingfei are classmates, have you ever paid attention to him?" β
"I ...... I pay attention to what he does! Su Xiaoqiao stammered and said hurriedly, "He's a slut!" It's uncomfortable not to be cheap in front of me all day long, and it's too late for me to hide from him, why pay attention to him? β
If Lu Mingfei heard this, he would definitely accuse Su Xiaoqiao of speaking without conscience-
God is pitiful, he Lu Mingfei took the initiative to fight with Su Xiaoqiao in school, but there were not many times, most of the time Xiaoqiao took the initiative to find fault, and Lu Mingfei fought back passively.
Lu Mingfei really couldn't understand where he offended Su Xiaoqiao, so much so that the focus of the female star in the class, Xiao Tiannu, wanted to poke him all day long.
"I haven't paid attention to it," Su Jiannan said, "Then you can help me observe him in the future?" β
"What?!" Su Xiaoxiao's voice increased sharply.
"Just help me see if there is anything superior to ordinary people about him, such as good physical fitness, very smart and knowledgeable, etc., or suddenly take out something that doesn't match his identity, or if there are any other more mysterious places," Su Jiannan said, "By the way, focus on observing to see if his eyes have turned golden, or whether he has ever brought contact lenses." β
This is the characteristic of his friend who was drunk about the "Dragonborn".
"Dad, I'm going to get you fever reducers and ice packs." Su Xiaoqiao got up.
"Sit down for me!" Su Jiannan couldn't cry or laugh, "I don't have a fever, just help me pay attention to what I said, I have my own reasons." β
"Okay, okay," Su Xiaoqiao sighed and came down, "I really don't understand what you're thinking, dad, what can be so special about that decrepit boy?" Is it especially good to eat? β
Su Jiannan thought about it, his physical fitness is good, and food must be indispensable, so he nodded and said, "Hmm...... Barely one. β
"......" Su Xiaoqiao was speechless and stood up, "Dad, I'll take a shower, you go to bed early, rest more, smoke less and drink less, by the way, the fever medicine is in the TV cabinet......"
As she spoke, Su Xiaoqiao passed by her bathroom, glanced through the open door, and immediately scolded.
"Damn! Lu Mingfei! The old lady is going to kill you-"
Su Xiaoqiao's mournful roar echoed in the living room.
"What's wrong?" Su Jiannan hurriedly got up and walked over.
"This dog thief threw his panties in my clothes basket!" Su Xiaoqiao's face turned red with anger, and he pointed to a delicately made bamboo clothes basket in the corner of the bathroom.
There was a bright orange panty in the basket, which was the one Lu Mingfei was wearing when she picked it up.
Su Xiaoqiao was so angry that her liver hurt, although the clothes basket was originally used to put dirty clothes, but this was her private bathroom, Lu Mingfei actually threw her underwear in her private clothes basket, it was just, it was ......
I knew I wouldn't have given him panties at that time!
Su Xiaoqiao regretted not being at the beginning.
Looking at Su Xiaoqiang's posture of being able to perform what it means to be angry on the spot if her hair wasn't too long, Su Jiannan was very happy.
This proves that Su Xiaoqiao should not have much meaning between men and women towards Lu Mingfei.
Just when Su Jiannan was relieved, Su Xiaoqiao suddenly stopped his anger, his good-looking eyebrows were wrinkled together, he walked to the clothes basket, bent down and looked carefully, his hair was on the edge of the clothes basket, looking like a female pervert.
Su Jiannan was stupid at that time.
"Dad, come and take a look," Su Xiaoqiao suddenly straightened up, turned his head and said, "Are these panties custom-made by hand?" β
"Huh?" Su Jiannan walked over, although he felt that staring at a boy's underwear was weird and perverted, but he still glanced at it.
"It seems that there is no signage, but the workmanship is very exquisite, the patterns are all embroidered, and there is a name embroidered in the corner...... It can't be a tailor's name, right? The corners of Su Jiannan's mouth twitched.
"And this color ......"
"Hey~", looking at the bright orange panties embroidered with beautiful violet patterns, Su Xiaoqiao's face was full of disgust, "How much does a person have to be sullen in his heart to wear this kind of underwear?" β
Su Jiannan nodded approvingly.
β¦β¦
Maybach stopped in the parking space of the community, and the most expensive car around was a small-displacement BMW from Lu Mingfei's uncle, which was bought with money sent by Lu Mingfei's parents.
The Maybach was mixed in and out of place.
The driver, Uncle Li, pushed the door and got out of the car and opened the umbrella - since it was already raining, he naturally wouldn't stupidly put the umbrella back in the trunk.
Holding an umbrella and walking to the co-pilot, Uncle Li opened the door for Lu Mingfei.
"Trouble Uncle Li, I'll come, I'll come." Lu Mingfei got out of the car and reached for the umbrella.
He didn't know that at this moment, Su Xiaoqiao was making a wrong evaluation of his underwear style, "This person must be extremely sullen in his heart".
"Mr. Lu, you're welcome, it's my duty." Uncle Li shook his head.
When Uncle Li said this, Lu Mingfei no longer insisted, and followed Uncle Li towards the building.
Uncle Li skillfully held an umbrella for Lu Mingfei, a little puzzled.
At the beginning, he felt that Lu Mingfei was a friend of the eldest lady, and it was normal for him to have a wealthy family, but later he heard Lu Mingfei and Su Jiannan chatting in the house, and he also heard it, only to know that Lu Mingfei's family situation was relatively ordinary.
But in this case, why did the old man always be kind to him?
Uncle Li knows Su Jiannan very well, although Su Jiannan is very rational, he also has an inviolable principle, that is, his family.
Dare to attack Su Xiaoqiao, Uncle Li was ready to obey the master's order and send Lu Mingfei out at the beginning of entering the door, as a retired scout, he has this confidence.
If Lu Mingfei had any big identity, Su Jiannan might be patient for the time being, and then find an opportunity to teach him a lesson afterwards - for example, the eldest lady's classmate named Zhao Menghua was taught by Su Jiannan in this way, so he has always been respectful of the eldest lady.
But Lu Ming is not a child of an ordinary Kochi family, why is the master so polite to him?
Uncle Li couldn't figure it out, but no matter what, since the master said that he would send Lu Mingfei home, at least on the way, he would definitely be polite to Lu Mingfei.
Holding an umbrella to send Lu Mingfei into the unit building, Uncle Li estimated that the situation at Lu Mingfei's house should be very chaotic now, so he took the initiative to leave.
But Lu Mingfei really wanted Uncle Li to go up with him, after all, there was an outsider here, and his aunt could at least scold him less.
So he warmly invited Uncle Li to go up and sit down.
Uncle Li was very enthusiastic, so he had to follow Lu Mingfei upstairs.
β¦β¦
"Tuk Tuk ......"
With apprehension, Lu Mingfei knocked on the door.
After a few seconds, the door opened, revealing a middle-aged man with messy hair and dark circles under his eyes.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Mingfei.
"Uncle, I'm back." Lu Mingfei Dao.
"Ming Fei! You're back! The uncle's eyes lit up, and he turned his head and shouted, "Wife! Naruzawa! Come on! Ming Fei is back! β
Hurried footsteps sounded, and some bloated middle-aged women ran out of the bedroom, and then a big fat dun ran out of Lu Mingfei's bedroom, he was Lu Mingfei's cousin, and lived in the same bedroom with him.
To Lu Ming's surprise, the aunt also had dark circles on her face.
It's the big fat man Lu Mingze who doesn't look like he's changed, maybe he feels more spacious and comfortable after Lu Mingfei is missing Lu Mingfei in the bedroom.
"Lu Mingfei! Where did you go? Only now to go home! Auntie appeared and yelled at Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei feels that this scene is a bit like the cutscene when the big boss in the game appears, regardless of the others, the boss first has to roar when he appears, spreading out a wave of sound or shockwave, and the players also have to be very face-saving to block the front of the face with their arms, making a difficult resistance to not be blown away, which sets off the strength and might of the boss.
Facing the big boss of his aunt, Lu Mingfei also shrank his neck for face.
Then he immediately said the statement he had made up on the road: "I don't know, I fainted in the dark on the way home the night before yesterday, and when I woke up again, I was on the road, my clothes were stripped naked, and I don't remember what happened in between." Fortunately, my classmates took me home, borrowed me a set of clothes, and asked the driver's uncle to send me back. β
After speaking, he was afraid that his uncle and aunt would not believe him, Lu Mingfei hurriedly let go and put Uncle Li beside him in the center of his uncle's and aunt's field of vision: "This is Uncle Li, the driver who came to see me off from my classmates." β
Uncle Li stood in the C position inexplicably, so he had to speak: "Good evening, two parents, I took the liberty to disturb you." β
"Don't bother, don't bother, thank you so much," Uncle hurriedly invited Uncle Li in, "Come in and have a cup of tea." β
β¦β¦
"Shoot Hanako! This must be a flower shoot! β
Auntie's palm slapped on the coffee table, followed by a loud bang followed by a trembling and swaying sound.
With Uncle Li testifying, although what Lu Mingfei said was very, his uncle and aunt still believed it.
And after a brief "thinking", the aunt immediately came to the conclusion that Lu Mingfei was photographed.
The so-called "shooting flowers" is a superstitious legend that is mostly spread in the north and used by adults to scare children not to run around, which probably means that the traffickers have ecstasy in their hands, as long as they pat the children on the head, or even raise their hands to scatter the medicine, the children will follow the traffickers in a daze.
The aunt was married from the north, and she was scared by the adults with "shooting flowers" since she was a child, and Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze also used this trick to scare them when they were young.
Therefore, after listening to Lu Mingfei's somewhat fantasy narration, my aunt immediately thought of this aspect.
"No," the uncle was a little embarrassed, "It's all old superstition, and you also said that you got the child to go with the child, Ming Fei was so good on the road that he fainted, it can't be any kind of flower-shooting, right?" β
"How could it not be? Haven't you heard that the times are developing, and technology is advancing? The aunt couldn't listen to others refute her face in her life, so she immediately said, "What if the equipment of the traffickers is upgraded?" β
Uncle wiped his sweat and didn't dare to argue.
The aunt said that Lu Mingfei must be young and strong, although he was fascinated by the drug, but the medicine did not fully take effect, so Lu Mingfei ran out again in a daze and was picked up by his classmates on the street.
Uncle looked at his nose and nose, and Uncle Li awkwardly agreed, not letting his aunt lose face.
Lu Mingfei is not happy to see it happen - anyway, as long as he can remove this stubble, his uncle and aunt can think whatever he wants.
The uncle and aunt thanked Uncle Li a few more words, and warmly asked for Su Jiannan's contact information, saying that they wanted to pick a special time to treat them and thank them.
Uncle Li excused himself to go to the toilet, asked Su Jiannan for instructions, and only after getting permission did he give Su Jiannan's private contact information to Lu Mingfei's uncle and aunt.
After chatting a few more words, Uncle Li said goodbye and left, and his uncle and aunt enthusiastically sent Uncle Li out.
Then, perhaps considering that Lu Mingfei should still be in shock now, the uncle and aunt didn't say anything, but asked him to go back to the house to rest and sleep well.
Lu Mingze slept on the sofa tonight and vacated the bedroom for Lu Mingfei.
β¦β¦
Lying in the bedroom, Lu Mingfei felt that his room was cramped and cramped for the first time.
No, even this home is small.
Lu Mingfei originally wanted to buy a house in another universe, but Tony directly gave him a small manor under his name, with the workers who usually take care of the manor, so Lu Mingfei didn't have to buy a house.
Lu Mingfei didn't want to accept it at first, but Tony said that he hadn't lived in the manor since he bought it, and he didn't plan to live in it when he bought it, and it was empty and empty, so it was better to give it to Lu Mingfei.
At that time, Lu Mingfei innocently asked Tony why he didn't plan to live and buy it, and Tony said that it was because the manor was expensive enough.
Lu Mingfei thought for a long time before turning the corner.
After thinking about his manor and comparing the size of his house, Lu Mingfei sighed - the dormitory where the servants lived was twice as large as his house.
Sure enough, man is an animal that is not satisfied, and once he is used to living in a big house, it is difficult to get used to a small house.
To be honest, I haven't seen him for three months, Lu Mingfei actually misses his uncle and aunt at first, and Lu Mingze, a big fat man, after all, they have lived together for more than ten years, although the uncle and aunt treat him and Lu Mingze blatantly differently, but after all, they did not abuse him, so that they have no feelings at all.
But then he was taken around by Tony to play around, and Tony gave him shares and a car and a house, and he gradually came up with a thought - uncle and aunt, are they not good enough for him?
Of course, Lu Mingfei knew that Tony was good to him because they had been in trouble together, and he had saved Tony's life.
He was a lifesaver for Tony, and his aunt and uncle were a nurturing grace for most of himβafter all, he was brought in to raise him when he was a few years old.
But his uncle and aunt also took the child support money sent by his parents, and he was distressed about how to buy a bottle of nutrition express with his pocket money?
I wonder if I'll ever be able to go back to that world? How can I go back? Lu Mingfei thought subconsciously.
Almost at the same moment when this thought was churning, Lu Mingfei suddenly had a strange feeling, as if there was some power in his body that suddenly became clear in his perception.
At the same time, a stream of information suddenly came to mind.
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a long time, then he breathed a long sigh of relief and whispered to himself: "It's okay, I can go back." β
The power in his body that he could suddenly perceive just now was the reason why he was able to travel between the two worlds.
This power connects his own world to another world, and as long as this power is consumed, he is able to travel to another world, that is, the world with Tony.
In addition to the initial time of crossing in, he will consume part of the power of crossing at one time, he will continue to consume this power of crossing in that world, once exhausted, he will forcibly return to this world, and in his world, this power of crossing will gradually recover.
It's a bit like a taxi, where you pay a fixed starting fare and then charge per kilometre for the rest of the journey.
Of course, he can also return early before his strength is exhausted.
However, the two worlds have different rates of time, and each is constantly changing.
Because this world is his "main world", under the influence of this force, no matter how long he stays in the other world, he will only return to this world for a fixed day.
But once he returns to this world, the time of the two worlds will be derailed, and each will move forward at an ever-changing speed.
As a result, when he re-enters another world, it is certain that the time will be after the last time he left, but it is impossible to predict how long it will be.
Moreover, this kind of power that allows him to travel between worlds can only be recovered naturally with the development of time, but its "time" is affected by two worlds at the same time, so its recovery speed is also fluctuating.
The only thing Lu Ming was certain of was that, at least for now, he didn't have enough energy to go to that world again.
Of course, even if he could, he wouldn't go right away.
Otherwise, how would he explain that he would be missing for another day?
Did he get photographed at home?
Confirming that he only needed to wait for a while before he could return to another world, Lu Mingfei was completely relieved and gradually fell asleep.
β¦β¦
At the same time, the other end of the city.
Chu Zihang, who was on winter vacation at home, had already fallen asleep following his biological clock.
The strange crisp phone rang, and Chu Zihang immediately opened his eyes, reacting quickly, as if he was not sleeping just now, but closing his eyes to recuperate.
But the fact is that Chu Zihang was indeed woken up, and a little emotion inevitably rose in his heart - he was just serious and rigid, and he was not a robot, and he was disturbed in the middle of the night, so it was strange that he could not fluctuate.
But this is the exclusive bell he set for Norma, and this bell rings to indicate that the school has something to look for him.
Maybe it's to send him a mission, or maybe it's to ask him to write a report or review of the buildings destroyed during the mission.
Chu Zihang never brought his personal emotions to business, but after he picked up the phone, his tone couldn't hear the slightest wake-up breath of being woken up: "Norma, what's the matter?" β
Of course, Norma is an artificial intelligence, and there is no point in getting angry with her.
"Commissioner Chu Zihang, I'm sorry to wake you up suddenly in the early morning, the school has an urgent task assigned to you, and it is best to complete it within tomorrow." Norma Road.
"What task?" Chu Zihang immediately entered the state.
"Contacting a classmate from your high school who is the best candidate given the special nature of this mission," Norma said, "The details of the mission have been sent to your private mailbox. β
Chu Zihang immediately got up, turned on the light, turned on the computer, and checked his email.
Sure enough, there was a new email.,After clicking on it, it's a similar information sheet to the establishment.,There's a headshot of the target person in the upper right corner.,It's a fairly handsome high school student.,It's just that the corners of the eyes and shoulders are drooping.,It looks a little wilted.,Or decrepit.γ
"Is that him?"
Chu Zihang's face showed a rare look of surprise.
