The wind was a bit strong on the empty runway. As soon as Nangong Yu stepped out of the plane, he felt a gust of wind making his clothes flutter.
The weather was still a bit chilly in early spring, so he pulled his coat tighter around himself and walked down the escalator.
A car was already waiting at the edge of the escalator. Covering his hair, which had been blown into a mess, Nangong Yu squinted at the person leaning against the car and waving gently at him.
Her white braids fluttered in the wind, and she wore a dark coat and even large sunglasses. When Nangong Yu walked up to her, Karen whispered, "Did you bring the things?"
After a pause, Nangong Yu squeezed the envelope in her pocket, lowered her eyes slightly, and handed it over.
"Bring it."
As soon as it was taken out, Karen quickly snatched it away and put it in her coat pocket. Suppressing her excitement, she said, "Let's go, this isn't a place to chat."
Soon, the two got into the waiting van and drove away.
In the lounge, as soon as the staff member responsible for pouring tea left, Karen could no longer maintain her composure. She excitedly took off her sunglasses, took out an envelope, and opened it.
Seeing Theresa dressed as a magical girl, striking a pose with an embarrassed expression, Kallen immediately touched her cheek and let out a silly grin.
"Hehe, Theresa is so cute, hehe..."
Such a satisfied look put Nangong Yu at ease.
In order to get closer to his elder Kallen, he thought about it and decided to abandon his principles and use the game festival as an excuse to 'force' Theresa to change into a magical girl costume so he could take pictures.
Recalling Theresa's furious and savage expression, Nangong Yu sighed.
For his and Yuexia's sake, sister-in-law, you should sacrifice yourself a little.
However, although Theresa looked like she wanted to die with him when he changed her into the magical girl outfit, I always felt that Theresa seemed a little happy afterward.
That's strange.
After he finished his tea, Karen admired Theresa's photograph, put the envelope back, and carefully placed it in her bag.
Noticing Nangong Yu waiting quietly for her across the street, Karen felt a little embarrassed: "Ahem, sorry, I made you witness a rather awkward scene."
"It's nothing. After all, just like under the moon, Principal Theresa is really cute. I was a big fan of Magical Girl Teriri when I was a kid."
She replied with a smile, and upon hearing this, Kallen's face also broke into a knowing smile: "Right, right? Theresa has always been so adorable!"
At this point, she changed the subject: "It's a pity that she gave up being a proper idol to become a school principal. Although I'm happy that Theresa has something she enjoys, but..."
She sighed with a hint of disappointment, but quickly regained her composure and tentatively asked, "Is there anything else besides these?"
"Well, that's all for now. I'll try it out with the headmaster later."
Actually, there were quite a few more. He filmed them inside and out, up and down, for a full half hour. But naturally, he couldn't show them all at once; he had to do it in batches, little by little, to build goodwill.
"Really?! Then I'll leave it to you. Ever since Theresa turned thirty, she's refused to wear those cute clothes in front of us anymore, really."
Hearing something that sounded a bit strange, Nangong Yu chuckled dryly, casually replied with a couple of sentences, and then asked, "How's the situation on Yuexia's side?"
Upon hearing this, Karen blinked, then suddenly slapped her forehead with one hand.
"Oh dear, I was so focused on Theresa's photo that I almost forgot about Moonlit. When I picked you up, the researchers were setting up the equipment so you could communicate with Moonlit in the virtual space after waking her up."
"Virtual space?"
She asked with some doubt, and Karen looked at her with the same doubt: "Hmm? Didn't Theresa tell you? Because Yuexia's body is very weak right now, and she can't speak properly in the nutrient solution, it's best to communicate in the virtual space if necessary, which will also make it easier to maintain Yuexia's mental activity."
"...No, nothing."
Theresa was tricked by him like that, it would be a miracle if she offered to explain herself.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, feigning embarrassment, "Theresa told me a lot back then, so I don't remember some things very clearly. Could you please tell me again what I should pay attention to?"
"Precautions? I remember Xiaoyu, you were also an experimenter on the reverse entropy side, right? Just like that, there's nothing special to pay attention to."
After frowning and pondering for a moment, Karen spoke slowly.
"That's it."
It seems Theresa is quite reliable; otherwise, it would have been a disaster if she had withheld crucial information from him.
Relieved, Nangong Yu smiled and looked at the other side: "In that case, shall we go over now?"
Karen pulled out a strangely shaped device that looked like a cell phone, tapped it a few times, and quickly said, "Hmm, it's all set up over there, let's go."
After saying that, the two stood up. Karen walked in front, leading the wayward Nangong Yu, who didn't know the way, through a series of twists and turns until they arrived at the research lab they had visited last time.
The fact that Otto was still swiping open layer after layer of protective doors shows the extent of his protection for the Moonlit Night.
Soon, he saw the sleeping girl again in the deepest room.
Snapped.
Just as he was gazing at the moonlight, he suddenly felt a tap on his back. Turning around, he saw Kallen chuckling and giving him a nudge, saying meaningfully, "Go on, go on, the moonlight is yours for now. I'm going to Otto's to share Theresa's photos with him~"
"Thank you, Sister Karen."
Looks like my effort wasn't wasted.
"Oh, don't be so polite with your sister. Go on your way, don't keep Yuexia waiting."
With a smile, Karen patted Nangong Yu on the shoulder again, waved her hand, and left the room.
The door behind her slowly closed. Nangong Yu took a deep breath and walked towards the center of the room.
Chapter 179 The Liar Must Eat a Thousand Candies
A dim, soft light illuminated the room.
All around were still those instruments with flashing lights, and densely packed pipes were laid out on the ground. The only difference from last time was a virtual pod located in the middle, alongside the nutrient pod under the moon.
It looks similar to but different from the anti-entropy one, and it also has the symbol of destiny printed on it.
As he walked towards the moonlight, he saw the petite girl sleeping peacefully with her eyes closed. He subconsciously softened his steps, as if he didn't want to disturb her sleep.
However, he quickly shook his head with a smile, thinking that he had only come to awaken Yuexia, so why was he thinking about these things?
Before reaching the nutrient chamber, Nangong Yu stood still and bent down.
A hand gently touched the transparent glass, watching Yuexia slowly rise and fall in the nutrient solution. Thick clothes tightly wrapped her body, with only her small head showing. Her face was even covered by a breathing device, like a sleeping princess. He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
This visit is also a trial phase. Unlike last time, Yuexia did not know that Nangong Yu would come to see her again. If she can be successfully awakened again this time, then a new treatment plan will be adopted. If not, then everything will remain the same.
Somewhat hesitant and nervous, he closed his eyes and breathed softly, gathering his emotions.
At that moment, a voice call suddenly popped up on the screen of the instrument next to us, and a slightly mature female voice came out from it.
"Young man, there's no need to be so nervous. Just say what's on your mind. Don't worry, Miss Yuexia can hear you."
Opening her eyes in surprise, Nangong Yu looked at the screen and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
"I am one of Miss Yuexia's attending physicians. I saw that you were so nervous, so I couldn't help but come over and talk to you to help you relax."
Nangong Yu did not doubt her self-introduction; he trusted Otto's protective measures for his granddaughter.
The attending physician was clearly a bit of a chatterbox, adding immediately after finishing one sentence: "But young man, you're really so innocent! It suddenly brings back memories of my youth. Back then, I was doing my internship at Tianming Hospital, and my husband was also my senior. Because he didn't know how to express his feelings, he would secretly buy me an extra pig heart every time he bought it for dissection. After dissecting it, he would scoop all the meat into my bowl for the soup. Even the professor got a little jealous! And for my graduation thesis, he secretly moved the cadaver to our dormitory so I would have enough time to do my research. Ah, thinking about it now, it's really romantic~"
Is he innocent?
If Bronya heard this, she would definitely point at that person and laugh at him.
Moreover, there were several flaws in this passage that made him somewhat unable to hold back. Are the hobbies of you medical students really that special?
He had a mouthful of saliva stuck in his throat and couldn't spit it out, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
Fortunately, another voice soon rang out.
"Stop spreading your messed-up views on relationships, okay?!"
The voice was that of a middle-aged man, and it sounded somewhat...indecent?
"What a mess! Two people dissecting the same pig's heart together, don't you think that's romantic?!"
"Almost got it."
Judging from the distance of the sound, the female doctor must have been pushed away.
"Hey buddy, don't listen to her nonsense. Your experiences are much more romantic than hers."
He paused, then said in a strange tone, "One is a girl who has been frail and sickly since childhood, confined to her hospital bed; the other is a sunny and cheerful boy who brings warmth to others. These two people, who would never have crossed paths, begin to intersect because of virtual reality. The boy travels thousands of miles to awaken the girl. Oh, what a touching story! It makes me want to compose a poem..."
Boom!
After the sound of being hit in the abdomen, the female doctor's voice rang out again: "Don't recite your lousy poetry anymore, I'm afraid I'll throw up everything I ate this morning."
"Nonsense!! Those are my greatest works. The medical profession is just a shell that restrains my wild and romantic heart!"
"Then why did all your submissions get buried?"
"Well, that's because those judges were too superficial and couldn't appreciate the elegant and profound verses I wrote. Young man, would you like me to teach you a few lines to say to Miss Yuexia?"
"Don't you dare mislead the young people!"
"Cough cough!"
The third voice finally seemed unable to bear it any longer and coughed twice.
The owner of the voice seemed to be very prestigious; the other two fell silent as soon as he spoke.
"You two shouldn't make things worse. As for how to say it, it's better to let Mr. Nangong do it his own way."
"Okay~"*2
The voice was quite young and gentle, which surprised Nangong Yu somewhat.
Then, he slowly walked into the microphone and said, "Sorry, these two people have a rather... well, rather unconventional way of thinking, but their abilities are still trustworthy."
The man seemed a little embarrassed when talking about his group members.
"No, it's nothing. Both doctors are quite fond of life."
Choosing her words carefully, Nangong Yu forced a smile and replied.
High emotional intelligence: A love for life.
Low emotional intelligence: somewhat of a serious illness.
Seemingly understanding the meaning behind Nangong Yu's words, the gentleman let out a long sigh.
"We will monitor Miss Yuexia's mental state in real time while you speak. When there are significant fluctuations in your sentences, we will make a sound to remind you. Are you ready?"
Seeing that they had gotten straight to the point, Nangong Yu's expression became slightly more serious.
