Chapter 446: People in the Shadow City

After returning from the expedition, I had been living a peaceful life for a long time. The daily routine of the day started with a goddess who had just recovered from a minor illness and was full of energy, so she sent me a good morning bite on my pillow.

All in all, it was a pretty lively morning.

"Arjun Arjun! It's dawn! It's dawn! Dingdang is about to start dinner! You're the only one missing!"

The little green girl lay on my nose, almost all of her body in front of my eyes. Her long emerald green hair fell next to her lower eyelids, causing an itchy feeling. Moreover, this little thing really had no idea of ​​being exposed. Idiot, I've seen this posture of yours - well, I've seen it countless times before.

Ah, if this goddess could grow a little taller, what a beautiful scenery it would be this morning...

With all these things running through my mind, I stretched out my hand to pull down Dingdang, who had started jumping around under my nose, and then...

"Ah sneeze!!"

With an earth-shattering sneeze, the goddess flew out.

This is why I was chased all the way down from the second floor by Ding Dong with weeds on my head.

"Well, the life of a scum is indeed rich and colorful." Sitting at the dining table, a certain Priestess carefully used a spoon to smash the tofu in front of her into thousands of pieces while verbally criticizing me, a guy who "dared to offend the power of the gods", "It turns out that Not even the kind and pure goddess will be spared!"

Just shut up, you freeloaders!

"The boss should at least be responsible for food and accommodation! And as the chief priestess of the goddess, I have a sufficient position to condemn you~~"

Can this guy read minds? Also, don’t use your numerous identities to seek personal gain so easily, you bastard!

"Everyone is very energetic," Anweina's soft voice came from in front of me, with a sugar content of five plus healing points, "Master, the soup in front of you is Anweina's confident work. Oh, please try it first~~"

Okay, I admit that the expectant expression on the ghost maid's face is very cute, but at least you don't have your head popping out of the soup pot I'm about to start! There is a girl’s head floating in the basin and she keeps chatting with you. Do you know that drinking soup like this will have a psychological shadow on me!

After simply covering Anweina's head with a pot lid, I cast my gaze to the other side, where there was another guy eating and drinking.

A certain rich lady with a net worth of hundreds of millions, who can form a strong company with just a cook at home, and can even feed a hundred big eaters like Sandora without any pressure, but now this guy has developed a habit of getting up early every day and being on time. The habit of coming to my house for dinner.

Even if Anweina, a level 6 cook, has exaggerated skills, it shouldn't be the reason why you come here to eat and drink, right? The chefs in your family are crying bitterly while holding the cold stove!

And according to An Weina, just a week before we came back, Miss Lin, who had finally been released from quarantine after the confinement order was finally lifted, had been eating here for seven days...

As if sensing my resentment, Miss Lin suddenly raised her head, bared her teeth at me, and then continued to lower her head and shoot left and right to annihilate several home-cooked dishes in front of her.

At least you should maintain your table manners, don't destroy the beautiful image of a lady in my mind like this, bastard, although you have completely destroyed that image, but I finally managed to be on the side of the polite Gaia. Restored confidence in the famous family!

"In other words, you have been completely worshiped this time. Although the crisis in the abyss was finally solved, it is really unpleasant."

After breakfast, Miss Lin, who had completely thrown away her ladylike upbringing, was grabbing the after-dinner snacks from Qian Qian without caring about her appearance. She turned her head and tossed out a sentence that made people angry.

Although I know this is her unique way of showing concern, I still think I should give this guy a hit on the head!

Before I made a move, Lin Xue shrugged: "You can't hit it anyway."

I hate the prophet, especially when this prophet doesn't stay in the xx temple and give out tasks to novices, but instead hangs out in your house eating and drinking.

"Although it's very unpleasant, to be honest, if you were here at the time, the situation might have been much better."

I said depressedly, this is the truth, although Lin Xue always likes to quarrel with me, but if she can be with us, maybe Occam's conspiracy will not succeed.

"It's useless. Since the hula hoop spaceship you mentioned is a legal weapon, it certainly has the ability to interfere with mysterious powers. The future scenes I see related to that thing are fragmented fragments, even if they are not related to you. Together, it’s impossible for those fragments to be so clear—didn’t even the shallow reversal of time bring it back to before the outbreak?”

Lin Xue said casually, but I was suddenly surprised: "I said, you weren't spying on us when you were detained at home a while ago, right?!"

This is almost a no-brainer. If this guy hadn't been secretly predicting our actions, how would she know that her ability was interfered with by the King's Lander? And the tone of her voice was full of resentment towards her own powerlessness. If countless attempts hadn't failed, this guy would never have been so disappointed!

"Peeping on your sister!" Before I had time to be moved by this duplicitous guy's silent efforts for so long, the other party simply rushed up to me and rewarded me with a knife, "I just want to see what a bastard you are. Does the emperor of the harem have no limit to accepting alien girls?"

Tsk, you really can’t lie. Can you hide the tension in your eyes a little?

The noisy but long-awaited morning was spent in the quarrels of a bunch of unreliable empire high-level officials. Perhaps it was because they hadn’t been home for a long time, even Little Paopao was always in the house. The little ones who couldn't stay in the house took a rare opportunity to get into the room and take a nap. Several other people in the family also suffered from nest fatigue syndrome, so they all went to the room to serve as temporary squatters. Even Pandora There are no exceptions. Oh, maybe this last situation is special. Although that girl never lacks energy, when there is no fight, she basically likes to find a quiet corner and enter the standby state. I can almost imagine that she is usually fine. When Pandora was sitting alone in her room all day long, her stomach would beep every ten minutes - this little guy's daily life was too simple.

In contrast, Huesca was much more active. As soon as he finished eating, he went out with Lilina to play. The latter's many years of time travel experience made that guy never lack interest in wandering on the streets of the earth. It is said that the two of them planned to Go shopping on the audio and video street in the west.

Well, the audio and video street seems to be the place where Cicaro often hangs out... Could it be said that the urban management officials of K City, who have finally taken a breather, are facing a new round of purgatory? Those two little girls never hesitate to cause more trouble to a peaceful and peaceful world.

In short, since everyone was too lazy to move, Sandora was the only one who could follow me to inspect the construction of the shadow city... Speaking of which, I also want to sleep in my room, watch new shows, play games, eat, and wait until the end of the world! Sandora, can't you understand my otaku soul that is almost extinguished?

"You have a little sense of being a leader..." Looking at my lazy posture, Shandora helplessly put her hand on her forehead, "Jun, just think of it as going out for a walk."

Let a company of Armored Scorpions walk around a military base?

"Speaking of which, Tavel never seems to take a break."

Finally freed from the boring "inspection", after returning from the fortress, Shandora and I wandered aimlessly in the empty shadow city. The place is now set to the same day and night cycle as the outside world, so It was a sunny morning above us, and we could clearly see a slightly circular black shadow high in the sky above the city. It was Tavel's masterpiece yesterday: don't think it is some new type of aerial laboratory, that black shadow The shadow is the hole in space that was exploded by the coffin-control female researcher due to an experimental error.

However, after a night of emergency repairs, there are now only some unstable gravitational refraction points left there. The light is greatly attenuated near the gravitational refraction points, so it looks like a black shadow is suspended there.

Being able to break through the layers of space barriers in the laboratory and tear a hole in the special sky of Shadow City, one can imagine how dangerous Tavel's experiments were at that time... Fortunately, there were not many ordinary citizens here. Not only did the nuisance complaint give Sivis a headache.

"The King's Level is not so easy to recover." Sandora also had a headache for the workaholic female scientist. "She worked too hard, even as a Xiling Apostle, she worked too hard."

"What is the extent of the legacy technology mastered by the fallen apostles?" I whispered to myself, "The King's Lander, this should be the empire's top-notch spaceship besides the Glory Battleship. If they can build one, then More can be built, and what if they convert every King's Lander into an abyssal battleship..."

"It won't be that bad," Sandora is not too worried about this. "If they could really do that, they would have done it long ago. It is not easy to integrate the two opposing power systems of Abyss Energy and Xiling Technology. , even if it is integrated, it is impossible to have the ability to mass produce, but Arjun, your worries are still necessary, we must find ways to enhance our strength, at the very least... I hope Tavel’s efforts can bear fruit as soon as possible.”

"It makes sense, but I still think we should prepare a laboratory for Tavel outside the Kuiper Belt as soon as possible. There are residents in Shadow City now..."

As soon as I finished speaking, a soft, slow voice sounded behind us: "Ah? It's Director Chen Jun - and Miss Sandora - are you dating?"

It was over. The tension that had just barely arisen due to the topic of the fallen apostle suddenly disappeared. Sylvia's slow pace was too powerful to destroy morale.

"Hey, Sylvia, come out for a walk...Eh!?!? What is going on!? Why are you together?!"

I just turned around to say hello to the person who was causing me to slow down, but what appeared in front of me was not just some disconnected former fallen apostle, but also a group of people who should definitely not be with that girl!

Forget about Accelerator and Last Order, they are both guys from Academy City anyway. In this Shadow City, they and Sylvia are barely half the same hometown, and Accelerator also probably knows Sylvia. With a special status, living in this city ruled by the empire, there are some prohibitions that even an arrogant and unruly person will remember and abide by. I don’t have to worry about what he and the little loli he raises will say that will cause Sylvia to fall into confusion.

But why is Misaka also there? Looking at the night vision goggle-like thing on the head, this is obviously a mass-produced Misaka clone. When will Accelerator be able to stand with Misaka's sister? Didn't this guy say he would never appear in front of these girls? And the Misaka sisters, who have gradually developed self-awareness recently, can they really meet Accelerator calmly?

Forget about Sister Misaka, standing next to Misaka...Sylvanas! ! What on earth are you doing? ?

Why are you with Sylvia? Why do you have a half-drunk bottle of orange juice in your hand? More importantly, why do you have a pda on your other hand? ?

And after all this, I looked at Sylvia even more speechless, how could you suddenly understand after being in close contact with a dark queen with elf ears and a cold body filled with the aura of death for so long? Did you greet me unconsciously? Does your reflex arc really exist?

"Ah, it's the director's brother! Although he really wanted to call him uncle, Misaka corrected his title in time and said hello in as natural a tone as possible!"

No, your correction was not timely at all.

"It's the director brother! I haven't seen him for a long time. Where has the director brother been for so many days? Did he get into any trouble? Director brother won't forget us, right? Because he suddenly saw everyone he hadn't seen for a long time. "My elder brother was so surprised, Misaka 10031 asked a lot of questions incoherently." Misaka's sister, who was wearing night vision goggles, also said after the last work, still speaking in the same robot-like way, but I unexpectedly found that, Misaka 10031, who came closer, had an unobvious expression of eagerness on her face. In other words, this Misaka sister...has developed real feelings?

This is very possible. In fact, as the Misaka sister who first came into contact with us, 10031 is usually much more lively than her sisters. Although she only speaks more occasionally, she sometimes becomes interested in something inexplicably. For clones with customized personalities, that is also a huge improvement.

From this point of view, the Misaka sisters will soon become complete people, which is gratifying and congratulatory.

In this way, the normalization process of the community in the shadow city must be accelerated. Although many living and entertainment facilities in the normal city have been established, the current shadow space is still a military fortress type place. I have to seize the time to let those who are idle The imperial commander with pain in his balls moved his family in to increase the popularity of this place... Well, for example, the batch that resells Jade Kebabs.

As for the unlucky guy Cicaro, let him stay outside and continue to cause trouble to the city management.

And then there’s…

"Don't look at me. It was this little devil who pulled me out. I didn't expect to meet her." After noticing my gaze, Accelerator turned his head unnaturally, "Tch, did they plan it in advance?"

"Fang Fang," a sincere smile appeared on my face, and I patted the shoulder of the thin, white-haired boy with one hand, "I will introduce you to a place, the Imperial Research Institute in Tavel, where you can undergo an operation and transform into Ling. Welcome to your splendid new life, Koyuriko!"

Because it’s so weird to have an attribute like “tsundere” on a man, you bastard!

"What's the matter with you?"

Before Accelerator could react to my sudden and incomprehensible remarks, I decisively ran to Sylvanas, dragged her away a few steps, and asked in a low voice.

The previous ones are all easy to say, but the question is, is it really okay for you, an undead from another world, to appear in front of that idiot? The city prepared for tourists from all worlds is on the other side of the shadow space, right?

"Master God Envoy, I'm lost," Sylvanas shrugged innocently, then raised what looked like a pda in her hand but was actually a Xiling Navigator, "I can understand everything it says. , I just can’t find any realistic road signs in the city.”

Because you have already reached the other side of the city, you mechanical idiot!

I couldn't help but flip the table over because Sylvanas had such an off-line side. However, there was a more important question before flipping the table: "What, Sylvanas, this kind of navigation device... …will others in the world of Azeroth use it?”

"Maybe..." Sylvanas said uncertainly, "Jaina and I originally wanted to try how to use this thing, but it suddenly said that Jaina's signal could not be found. I I don’t know if she can go back smoothly now.”

I looked up at the sky and burst into tears.

Jaina...have you walked out of the service area?

After decisively putting it on the agenda to create more humane or simply more stupid electronic devices for the natives of the world, I flagged down a passing transport truck and ordered the other party to take the lost Sylvanas back to Azer. Las residential area, by the way, the patrol troops in the city are sent to search for Gianna who has left the service area. There are only a few special places in the shadow city that are not included in the signal range of the navigator. I hope that Gianna can be honest after getting lost. Really stay...

After bidding farewell to Accelerator, Misaka-sama and the others, Sandora and I had nothing to do, so we simply walked along the street with some slow-moving guy. Being with Sylvia always makes us happy. It makes people feel calm, although the latter's severely retarded way of thinking is really speechless.

A foreign imperial emperor, a current imperial emperor, and a former emperor and fallen apostle, could actually take a leisurely walk together like this. Sandora and I looked at each other, and at the same time we saw a huge embarrassment in each other's eyes.

"Ah, by the way -" after walking for a long time, Sylvia suddenly remembered something and said in a rising tone, "Chen Jun, that beautiful girl with white hair just now had pointed ears, so strange - that's right I forgot to ask her name..."

With just this sentence, Sandora and I almost had a fight!
