Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 229 Return to the Village
A butterfly landed on Erica's nose.

She opened her eyes and looked at the little elf that had suddenly flown in with surprise, a faint joy welling up in her heart.

Bai Yuetian's voice came from not far away: "Didn't they say the passage opened frequently? Why hasn't there been any movement for so long? Are we going to be unable to get back?"

"Don't rush, wait patiently," Bai Yuekui replied.

The two walked side by side along the path.

Erica lay on the grass. She wanted to greet Bai Yuetian, but she was afraid of startling the little sprite on her nose. So she could only watch Bai Yuetian silently, hoping that he would see her when he passed by.

However, Bai Yuetian and Bai Yuekui walked by, talking about things she couldn't understand, without glancing at her or even noticing her.

Erica pursed her lips, a quiet sense of loss settling in her heart.

The butterfly flapped its wings and flew away lightly.

Erica sat up, gazing at Bai Yuetian's retreating figure, and murmured wistfully, "Yuetian, you've been so busy these past few days."

Her voice was very soft, blending into the wind without a trace.

Bai Yuekui stopped in his tracks.

Without turning her head, she said, "Yue Tian, ​​your girlfriend misses you. Go and keep her company."

Bai Yuetian was slightly taken aback.

He turned his head to look for Erica, and after turning around, he saw Erica sitting on the grass in the distance.

Erica leaned back, supporting herself with her hands on the ground, her chin slightly raised, and her lips pouting.

Bai Yuetian felt a sudden tightness in his heart.

"Erica!"

He walked quickly toward Erica.

Erica smiled brightly and stretched out her arm toward Bai Yuetian.

Bai Yuetian hesitated for a moment, then instead of helping her up, he took her hand and sat down beside her.

“I’m sorry, Erica.” Bai Yuetian paused for a moment, “I’ve been busy liaising with the Lighthouse these past few days, so I haven’t had much time to spend with you.”

"After these two days, I'll take you to my hometown and we'll have a great time together."

Erica's hurt feelings melted away like water, and she whispered, "As long as you haven't forgotten me, that's enough."

"Of course not!" Bai Yuetian said gently.

He opened his arms, pulled Erica into his embrace, and whispered sweet nothings in her ear.

Erica's cloudy skies cleared, and her eyes gradually curved into crescent moons.

Bai Yuekui quietly walked away.

“Boss, Grandpa found a grandma for everyone, shouldn’t we celebrate?” Ulan Aodeng said, leaning over.

Bai Yuekui waved his hand: "Don't make things worse, he's not the Yue Tian you know."

“But we don’t mind having too many grandpas,” Ulan Aodeng scratched his head. “Two grandpas mean double the happiness!”

Bai Yuekui raised an eyebrow: "Where did you learn these words?"

Ulan Aodeng chuckled twice.

Despite his gray hair, he was still a child in front of Bai Yuekui.

"How are the relocation arrangements going? I see quite a few people in the village haven't packed their belongings yet," Bai Yuekui asked, frowning.

She stayed at the lighthouse for two days, and when she returned and took a walk around the streets, she was surprised to find that the villagers were still living normal lives.

Some people are hanging clothes to dry, others are getting haircuts, and still others are selling CDs.
It's as if they didn't receive any moving notice.

Ulan Aodeng hesitated: "We have already informed everyone, and most people have accepted it, but some people don't want to leave. Since you haven't come back, we don't know what to do."

Bai Yuekui asked, "Why don't they want to leave?"

“Some people who migrated south from their homeland are too old to continue the migration.” Ulan Aodeng paused for a moment, “and others don’t want to leave you.”

Bai Yuekui looked displeased: "Who told you to tell them I wasn't leaving?"

If she doesn't leave, naturally some people won't want to leave either.

She planned to scare these people away, since it would be difficult for them to come back once they arrived in Jiuchuan.

“Summer came over and got drunk at the dinner table, and he let it slip in front of everyone,” Wulan Aodeng said nervously. Bai Yuekui took a deep breath.

She said firmly, "Everyone has to leave, no questions asked!"

“Those who don’t want to leave are all quite old. If they don’t want to leave, we can’t just take them away by force, can we?” Ulan Aodeng hesitated.

Bai Yuekui said helplessly, "The struggle between the village and the ecology is becoming increasingly fierce. Even with the shielding tower, it is not 100% safe. If the Primordial Body is desperate, it is not impossible for it to cause a major earthquake in the Dragon Bone Village area. I cannot protect everyone."

"Don't cause me any trouble."

"Go to the place I've arranged for you; it will be a hundred times happier than here."

Although Hisakawa also faces an apocalyptic crisis, it is foreseeable that Hisakawa will be able to maintain order and stability for a long time to come.

As the aerial platforms are completed, the threats from earthquakes and Devouring Beasts will gradually diminish.

The only threat he needed to consider was a human civil war, which Hisakawa was able to anticipate and take action in advance to keep the threat within an acceptable range.

Hisakawa's biggest bomb, Gray, has now been removed and has become a thorn in Hisakawa's side within the Hela Empire.

The situation is very good.

Moving Longgu Village to Jiuchuan is definitely better than staying here, since a decisive battle against the ecosystem is about to break out here, and even she can't predict what will happen next.

“But…” Ulan Aodeng stammered.

Bai Yuekui's beautiful eyes darted around, her gaze fixed firmly on Ulan Aodeng.

She said softly, "Xiao Deng, are you one of those who don't want to leave?"

“Uh.” Ulan Aodeng blinked.

Bai Yuekui's tone hardened: "Tell everyone that they have to leave whether they want to or not. Don't force me to have the robots tie them up and throw them in the car!"

Ulan Aodeng's expression fell; he sensed Bai Yuekui's resolute tone.

"Go ahead," Bai Yuekui waved his hand.

After saying that, she left Ulan Aodeng and went off on her own.

After a while, she came to a cave.

At the end of the cave was an iron gate.

Bai Yuekui stood in front of the door.

A red ray shot out from the door, sweeping across her body from top to bottom and then from bottom to top.

[Identity verification in progress]

Identity verification complete.

【Welcome back】

[Moon Queen]

The iron gate parted, and Bai Yuekui slowly stepped inside.

A pale green light shone through the nutrient dishes on both sides of the corridor, illuminating the ceiling and floor. Each petri dish contained a person covered in tubes.

Judging from their appearance, they were all Mark.

They all underwent varying degrees of mutation, with their flesh swelling, parts becoming earthy, and some even becoming completely bestial, growing tails and horns.
Click!

Bright lights came on, dispelling the eerie atmosphere.

Bai Yuekui ignored the Mark specimens on both sides of the corridor and walked straight into the depths of the laboratory, arriving at the server storing ASH consciousness.

She plugged in the server and pulled up a chair to sit down.

beep - beep - beep -

The indicator lights on the server lit up one by one.

"Moon Queen".

The sound of Ash filled the air.

At the same time, the projector started up, and white beams of light shot out from all directions, weaving a distorted outline in front of Bai Yuekui.
