Chapter 3395: The Fall of Kunlun Capital (56) How long will it take for us to feel strange after not

Chapter 3395 [Kunlun Capital] Falls (56) - How long will it take for us to feel unfamiliar after not seeing each other?

【Tianlao】Before breaking out of prison.

Sea of ​​Heaven...Fortress.

Horizontal stripes of light kept flashing across Li Jianyi's body as the elevator moved. His eyes seemed to have lost focus, and time just passed by like that.

Suddenly, there was a slight vibration, and the elevator reached its destination... The moment the door opened, Li Jianyi's eyes focused, and then a familiar face appeared in front of him.

【Six ears】

[Liu Er] seldom comes to this area... He said he doesn't like the smell of this place - actually, he doesn't like the smell of Li Jianyi.

"Is there something?" Li Jianyi asked curiously.

"Have you forgotten what you promised me?" [Liu Er] raised his palm - a palm with a finger missing.

"Come with me." Li Jian nodded.

His work area and living area were all together... He quickly led [Six Ears] to the workshop - installing a prosthetic finger did not require too many steps... and the surgery was even a bit delicate.

[Six Ears] spread out his fingerless hand and looked at the other person who was holding a miniature electric drill. His eyes twitched slightly, "Hey, you're distracted!"

"Ah... Indeed." Li Jian nodded. "Maybe it's because I haven't had enough rest recently... Speaking of which, since you don't plan to have a new body, why don't you just undergo full-body prosthetic transformation?"

"The super-divine gene modification technology you mentioned before?" Six Ears frowned and asked, "Why, are you not satisfied enough to reach out to me?"

"The 'devil's claw' thing is too much." Li Jianyi chuckled, lowered his head and drilled into the bone marrow on the finger bones of [Six Ears]. He looked very focused, just like a technician doing a manicure.

It didn't take long to implant a prosthetic finger. Soon, feeling the new finger move freely, Liu Er nodded with satisfaction, "Please take care of my cheap student."

Li Jianyi did not answer immediately, but summoned the fortress's central control unit, the Rabbit-Eared Girl, to check Gai Kai's current condition - this cheap student was currently swinging a sword with a weight in the gravity room.

"Why are you still using this primitive method of cultivation?" Li Jianyi asked in surprise.

"It's just to temper his spirit." [Six Ears] spread his hands and said, "This guy has a lot of strength, but his awareness is not very good... Rather than saying that his combat power is good and his abilities are diverse, it's better to say that these abilities are like skills that need to be actively activated to take effect."

"Skills?" Li Jianyi pondered, "Perhaps this is the characteristic of the [Alien]."

"I'll leave it to you." [Six Ears] smiled indifferently: "Just don't kill him... In fact, I'm also very curious whether [Yi Ren] is really immortal, but I don't have time for the moment."

Li Jianyi didn't ask [Liu Er] what he was going to do - he came to him to install his fingers and even entrusted Gai Kai with the task, so it was clear that he wanted to go out.

"Not too long." He said calmly: "All the [Spears of Destiny] have been implanted, and [Blue]'s anti-spiritual power device will be fully activated soon... You can bring a [Dragon III] type dragon rider with you in case of emergency."

"Let's go." [Six Ears] waved his hand.

After a while, feedback came from the central control center that [Liu Er] had already piloted a fighter jet out of the fortress dock - the fighter jet's current flight trajectory was heading towards: [Kunlun Capital].

"Review the surveillance footage from the past six hours." After returning to the room, Li Jianyi gave the order again.

The network of the entire fortress was running at high speed... In the past few hours, the movement trajectory of a certain teacher, Xunan, was presented one by one. Li Jianyi boiled water in a beaker, made a bowl of noodles and ate it.

……

The living area of ​​the middle class… On the bench facing the street, a certain teacher named Xunan was looking up at the holographically simulated sky with a dejected look on his face.

"The sun is a bit dazzling..."

After a while, Miss Xiangxiang came back jogging... with two ice creams in her hands.

"...According to your request, I bought both flavors." Miss Xiangxiang said unhappily.

Then Xunan said thank you, took both ice creams, and took a bite of each... looking very happy. Xiangxiang's eyes twitched... she originally thought that one of them would be given to her.

"Oh... do you want to eat?" Ah Nan blinked and handed over the ice cream they had each bitten. "What flavor do you want?"

“…Thank you, but it’s okay!” Xiangxiang sat aside with an expressionless face…What was she expecting?

"You said before that your mother worked in a daycare center... Is it around here?" Xunan asked casually.

Xiang Xiang was stunned for a moment. "It is indeed nearby. It is a nursery in the community. I am currently a senior educator there."

"Go say hello?" Xun Nan smiled and said, "It's not the first time we meet. Didn't I have dinner with your parents before?"

"No need." Xiang Xiang shook her head: "I'm working now, it doesn't involve personal matters."

"Just think of it as me wanting to go on a tour?" Xunan pulled Xiangxiang up and walked forward.

"Hey...wait, I told you not to." Xiang Xiang said quickly: "Miss Nan, even if you want to go, you're going in the wrong direction!"

"Let's go buy some small gifts." Xie Nan said with a smile: "I can't visit the kindergarten empty-handed, right? I am at least a foreign guest in your fortress, so I have to show some respect!"

——Foreign guests...Who knows you?

Xiangxiang thought unhappily.

……

"Xiang Xiang...Miss Nan?"

Xiangxiang’s mother’s surname is Li and her given name is Xianglan. She has been serving in childcare institutions for more than 20 years.

Perhaps because she had never expected to see her own daughter at work, Li Xianglan seemed a little surprised.

"Aunt, nice to see you again." Miss Nan TWO smiled slightly, "Our last stop today is to visit here. I hope I won't disturb...some gifts for the children here."

"That's thoughtful." Li Xianglan nodded with a smile.

Miss Nan TWO smiled politely, "Miss Xiangxiang, please distribute these gifts to the children. I believe you will like this job."

Xiangxiang couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she didn't refuse. She carried two large bags of gifts and walked towards the children in the playground.

"I heard that most of the children here have lost their parents?" Xunan asked casually.

"That's not the case." Li Xianglan shook her head. "Here, everyone treats them as their own children and parents."

Xunan looked at Li Xianglan with a smile without saying a word.

"...Miss Nan, why did you suddenly think of coming here?" Li Xianglan invited the other party to sit down.

Xunan smiled and said, "Didn't Aunty talk about adoption before? I thought if Miss Xiangxiang and I are in need...it's just a way to learn about it in advance."

Li Xianglan's expression suddenly became unnatural, and she smiled bitterly: "Ms. Nan, you know, that's just a polite remark... As parents, we still hope that Xiangxiang can return to normal."

Xunan stretched and yawned. "It doesn't matter. Technology is so advanced now. I can also perform surgery... There will always be a way to give Miss Xiangxiang the happiness of a woman."

The corners of Li Xianglan's mouth twitched...Who is this?

"Heh..." Li Xianglan smiled awkwardly, "Miss Nan looks very tired. Didn't you get enough rest?"

"Well... I didn't sleep well last night. Maybe it was because of the bad bed?" Xunan poked his chin. "Come to think of it, Miss Xiangxiang usually lives in the correspondents' dormitory. She probably doesn't go home often, right? Did she sleep well last night?"

"Last night..." Li Xianglan was stunned, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Xiangxiang who was distributing gifts. "Miss Nan is really good at joking. She grew up at home since she was a child, so why is she not used to it?"

"That's right." Xunan narrowed her eyes. "What about you, aunt? If you don't see your daughter for too long, will you feel strange?"

"…It's almost time to end the get out of class." Li Xianglan stood up. "I need to get ready. Parents will come to pick up their children later… Miss Nan, I'll excuse myself first."

"You are busy." Xunan smiled and said, "Aunt, Xiangxiang and I are waiting for you here... Tonight, we still have to continue to bother you! The dishes cooked by aunt, the taste of mother, are very fascinating."

Li Xianglan opened her mouth, seemed to be about to say something, and finally said nothing and left quickly - just as she said, she needed to prepare for the end of get out of class.

"What did you say to my mother?" Miss Xiangxiang came over with a puzzled look on her face. "I rarely see her like this."

"What does it look like?"

"Absent-minded?" Miss Xiangxiang frowned and asked suspiciously, "You really didn't say anything weird?"

"No." Xunan came closer, almost to Xiangxiang's cheek, "I just asked a little about adoption."

"This is already very strange, okay?" She rolled her eyes at him unhappily, "Do you know that what you said to my parents before almost scared them to death? They thought I, I..."

"I will be very happy~"

Xiang Xiang clenched her fists tightly. After a while of trying to control her emotions, she finally smiled professionally. "Ms. Nan, we have already visited this place. Where would you like to go next?"

"You can go off work now."

"Okay..." Miss Xiangxiang responded subconsciously, and then reacted, "After get off work?"

"Yeah." Xunan smiled slightly, "Isn't it a surprise? Not only can you eat and drink at public expense by accompanying me, but you can also leave work early. Don't you feel like you've been favored by the goddess of luck?"

"I need to report this to my leader." Miss Xiangxiang said thoughtfully.

Xunan held up Xiangxiang's wrist and stroked the metal ring on her wrist with his fingers. "Is this the communicator you usually use to report?"

"...Please wait a moment." Xiangxiang pulled her hand back immediately - who is this person who actually scratched her palm!

She quickly walked aside, opened the communication on the bracelet, and explained the current situation. To Xiangxiang's surprise, the bracelet responded immediately, allowing her to leave work.

Miss Xiangxiang came back with a strange look on her face.

"How about it? Do you feel that your leader is as generous as I am?" Xunan said with a smile.

Xiang Xiang shook her head and said thoughtfully, "Miss Nan, I can indeed leave work... Even so, I will still be on call at any time. If you need me, you can contact me through the short-range terminal as soon as possible. Also, I will keep an eye on you again. Many areas will be closed after nightfall, so please do not wander around."

"Bye~"

……

She just walked out of the childcare center. Xiangxiang hesitated and chased after her, but she could no longer see Miss Nan... She glanced at the communication ring on her wrist absent-mindedly, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Xiangxiang, why are you still here?"

After Li Xianglan sent a child away, she walked over with a puzzled look on her face.

"I'm off work." Xiang Xiang did not hide it, "Miss Nan asked... and the boss allowed it."

Li Xianglan looked strange, "What about you?"

"Let's go home." Xiang Xiang smiled and hugged her mother's arm affectionately, "Let's go together! Let's discuss what to do next weekend tonight... Will Dad be home late tonight?"

"Do not touch me!"

Li Xianglan suddenly slapped Xiangxiang's hand away, looking excited.

"Mother...mother?"

"No, nothing." Li Xianglan wiped her face quickly, "My clothes are just dirty... I still have some things to do, so I won't talk about it for now."

"Mother?!" Xiangxiang shouted.

But her mother had already walked back into the yard... She stood there in a daze with a puzzled look on her face, knowing that something was probably wrong in her mother's mind.

The simulated sky in the living area gradually dimmed.

Xiangxiang had never seen the sunset outside the fortress - but that didn't affect her love for this simulated sunset at all.

The orange-yellow light scattered on her body... She was wearing the new clothes she bought when she went shopping with Miss Nan in the afternoon.

Shoes too.

She leaned against the wall outside the nursery door, tiptoed gently, waiting for her mother to come out...but all she got was a message from her mother.

——Your father has a mission tonight and can't come back.

——One of the nursery teachers is temporarily sick and there is no time to arrange a shift for the evening, so I need to stay here to take care of her.

——You should go back to the staff dormitory and have a rest first. Don’t go home. There’s no one there anyway.

Xiangxiang then dialed the number, but it showed that her mother had turned off the communication.

She looked up at the closed gate, a little dazed...she felt that there was no warmth at all between the lines of her mother's words.

Miss Xiangxiang sighed, turned and left… The holographic simulated sky quickly passed through the dusk, and the middle-level living area became much, much quieter after nightfall.

Only in the buildings in the residential area, lights were lit one by one... Most of the employees who lived in the fortress had their families here.

Xiangxiang did not go back to the staff dormitory - just thinking that if Miss Nan needed to summon her, it would be more convenient to travel from her home in the living area, so she returned to her home in the community.

——How come no one is at home?

——Don’t you still have me? (naughty)

After entering the house, she sent a message to her mother... As soon as she took off her shoes, Miss Xiangxiang immediately sent the same message to her father, and then lay down directly on the sofa at home.

There was no light on, just letting the lights from outside shine in.

She was drowsy and soon fell asleep.

……

She was awakened by a burst of extremely fast communication sounds... She found her communicator and found it in the gap of the sofa.

It’s a message from Li Xianglan... There are already many missed calls.

"Mother?" Xiang Xiang muttered, "How can this be?"

"Are you at home?" Li Xianglan's voice sounded anxious and unstable.

"Ah... I'm back. I was thinking..."

"Leave right now!" Li Xianglan's voice changed, becoming sharp and fierce. "Leave immediately! I don't care where you go, the dormitory... No, don't go back to the dormitory! Go!"

"Mom, what are you doing?" Xiang Xiang was puzzled. "What's wrong with you? Did anything happen?"

"Go-beep-beep!"

"Mother?!"

Miss Xiangxiang shuddered suddenly and almost jumped up from the sofa. She was extremely panicked and rushed to the door without thinking, and started to call her father.

She stepped into the door with her shoes on, and without even adjusting her heels, she hastily opened the door - she was planning to check out the nursery.

The moment she opened the door, Xiangxiang saw four mechanical guards.

"You are……"

——"The target has been confirmed."

——"Recycling."

The mechanical guard raised his hand, and a flash of lightning instantly wrapped around Xiangxiang's body...
