The shuttle in the second dimension

　At this moment, a hint of rainbow appeared in Lin Xuan's sight.

　"Lin Xuan, you're here!!" His words were filled with joy, as if he had discovered something happy.

　"Yeah." Lin Xuan responded as he hugged Agulola who was rushing towards him.

　"Have you had fun these days?" Lin Xuan asked while gently stroking Agulola's little head.

　"Rejoice, your friends bring me so much joy."

　Snapped--

　Lin Xuan flicked Aguro La Jiebai's forehead lightly with his finger and sighed, "Didn't I tell you to change the way you speak? Why can't you change it?"

　"I, I understand~~~~" The joy on his face suddenly disappeared, and Agurola puffed up his cheeks and muttered.

　Seeing the displeasure on Agurola's face, Lin Xuan shook his head helplessly. "Forget it, it's up to you."

　"Really!?" Agurola wiped away the displeasure on her face, widened her flaming eyes, and asked with a look of joy.

　"Outside, try to speak the way I taught you. At home, you can do whatever you want."

　“I, I understand!!”

　"Hey!! Brother Lin, you're here."

　"Hey, ancient city——" he extended his hand and greeted.

　Patting the back of Agurola's head gently, Lin Xuan walked towards the sofa in the living room and asked, "How's your basketball game going lately?"

　"Basketball—" The very mention of basketball made Gu Cheng's lips curl up, and his entire mood changed. "I just became a regular on the high school basketball team, and I'm getting along really well with the seniors." Scratching the back of his head, Gu Cheng said, "Speaking of which, I still have to thank you, Brother Lin. If you hadn't said that to me back then, I don't know what would have happened to me."

　"It's okay, it's only because you can listen to it. Otherwise, there's no point in saying anything." Sitting on the sofa, Lin Xuan chuckled.

　"But... the ancient city..."

　"kindness?"

　"Just play basketball, don't be gay~~~~"

　"Asshole!! What the hell are you talking about!!!"

Chapter 78 Daily Life

　"Xuan-chan is right~~~Kojo-kun, playing basketball is fine, but being gay is absolutely not allowed!!" Suddenly, Nagisa walked out of the kitchen, her two slender hands folded together.

　"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!! Why do you think so, Nagisa!!!" Grabbing his head with both hands, Kojou shouted madly.

　"Because, I always see you, Kojou, hanging out with that group of boys, but I've never seen Kojou-kun with any girls~~~" Nagisa said as if complaining, with her hands on her hips.

　"It's just a little, okay? What do you mean by none? There's more!! My sexual orientation is normal!!!" Gu Cheng shouted angrily in a frenzy.

　"Hey - Gucheng, sexual orientation can be changed, so it's better to be careful, haha~~~" As he spoke, Lin Xuan laughed out loud and quickly covered his mouth with his hand to avoid laughing.

　"Ah!!! Lin Xuan, what do you mean by this? Also, you definitely laughed just now. You did it on purpose, didn't you--" Pointing at Lin Xuan, Gu Cheng yelled madly.

　Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan answered Gu Cheng's questions very honestly.

　"Yeah, I did it on purpose."

　The calm voice with a hint of laughter was like a sharp arrow that pierced through the petrified ancient city.

　Ancient city "..."

　Looking at Lin Xuan with a look of despair, Gu Cheng collapsed on the sofa, as if he had lost his soul (hx) and murmured, "What sin did I commit in my previous life~~~~"

　"Maybe God saw that you have such a good sister, so to balance it out, he did... you know."

　"Ah!! Xuan-chan, what are you talking about~~~~"

　"..." Gu Cheng, who was lying on the sofa, looked at Lin Xuan resentfully and remained silent for a long time.

　"Hey - Gucheng, can you please stop looking at me with the eyes of a resentful woman in the boudoir? It makes me feel so disgusting~~~" As he said this, Lin Xuan shook his body figuratively, as if he was looking at something disgusting.

　“I%@#￥%#￥%!!”

　Faced with Lin Xuan's teasing, Gu Cheng felt like he was going crazy.

　"Pfft - Xuan-chan, stop teasing Kojou-kun. Kojou-kun is so pitiful. Boys who are good at basketball are so popular, but he is still surrounded by a group of boys. It's so pitiful~~~~" Nagisa's words were like another sharp arrow, piercing Kojou's heart.

　Feeling that he had suffered an unimaginable blow, Gu Cheng's entire expression had turned gray. It seemed that he had completely lost hope in life and looked really pitiful.

　"Woo woo!! What happened to my friend's brother?" Agurula opened her flaming eyes wide, and asked curiously at the ancient city lying on the sofa, who looked a little different from her own style.

　"It's nothing, he just couldn't stand the pressure of reality and became decadent." Shrugging his shoulders, Lin Xuan explained for Agulola.

　"It's all your fault!!" Suddenly, Gu Cheng, who had collapsed on the sofa, sat up and shouted.

　"Xuan-chan still loves teasing Kojo-kun~~~~It's been like this since the beginning. It seems like every time I meet Kojo-kun, I will tease him a few words. Last time..." Nagisa kept talking as she untied the apron she was wearing.

　"Nagisa, please stop talking~~~"

　"Well - since Kojo-kun has said so, let's not say anything more. By the way, the food is ready, we can eat. I cooked it today..." Seeing that Nagisa seemed to be about to continue talking, Kojo and Lin Xuan looked at each other and interrupted her at the same time.

　"I can already smell the aroma. I'm going to go get some food first."

　"I haven't had Nagisa-chan's cooking in a month or two. I have to try it."

　As they spoke, Lin Xuan and Gu Cheng stood up from the sofa and walked towards the dining table.

　At the same time, they saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

　To be honest, Nagisa is a very popular beautiful (hx) girl. She is good at housework, thrifty, warm-hearted, cute, and a lively girl. If you can give a score, Nagisa would definitely get a high score. However, Nagisa talks like a machine gun and keeps talking. This is one of her few shortcomings.

　"Hmm..." Nagisa puffed up his cheeks and looked at the backs of Lin Xuan and Gu Cheng with dissatisfaction, muttering, "These two are really something. They didn't even listen to what I said."

　……

　"Huh—I'm so full," Lin Xuan said with emotion as he sat on the sofa. "I have to say, Nagisa-chan's cooking skills have improved again."

　"Huh..." Agulola, who didn't look like a lady at all, lay directly on the sofa and said happily, "I really like the food made by my friend~~~" After she finished speaking, she licked her lips, as if she was still savoring the taste.

　at this time.

　A not-so-loud explosion suddenly sounded from a distance and reached Lin Xuan's ears, causing his body to tremble slightly.

　"Is this direction - the Cornerstone Gate!?" Lin Xuan whispered as he walked towards the direction where the explosion came from.

　'At this time, the one who will go back there to cause trouble will probably be Teacher Jian,' Lin Xuan thought silently as he looked in the direction of the Cornerstone Gate.

　"It seems Rudolf Ostach can't wait any longer. It's only been a short while, and I'm afraid the improvements to Astaruti have only just been completed. Hum-huh—never mind, it's better to be quick so I don't have to wait any longer."

　Lin Xuan stood up from the sofa with his hands on his knees. He said to Nagisa who had just finished cleaning up the dishes and walked out of the kitchen, "Nagisa-chan, there's something wrong with the Cornerstone Gate. I'll go check it out. As for Agurara, I'll come pick her up in the evening."

　"Hey!! Okay, then you just be careful, Xuan-chan~~" A hint of worry appeared in Nagisa's eyes, which were originally full of smiles.

　"Lin Xuan, you, you should be careful," Agulola said seriously while sitting on the sofa.

　"Be careful, don't wait until tomorrow or I'll have to go to the hospital to see you." Gu Cheng said with a pout.

　"Don't worry, maybe it's just a small matter, don't worry." As he said that, Lin Xuan walked to the balcony of Gu Cheng's house and jumped down.

　"Oh my god, you'll die if you go through the main entrance!!!"

Chapter 79: Cornerstone Gate

　Cornerstone Gate, this is the name of the huge building in the central area of ​​​​Genjin Island.

　It is a twelve-story building on the island, the tallest building on the island. Its majestic inverted pyramid shape can be seen from anywhere on the island.

　In this building, public offices such as the city hall, hotels, commercial institutions, etc. are established.

　Furthermore, this building plays another crucial role on Genshinjima Island. It serves as a centralized management facility for the artificial islands, a forty-story structure located below sea level. Less than two kilometers in diameter, it serves as a connecting structure, linking the four artificial islands together to form the present-day Genshinjima Island.

　As an island composed of four artificial islands, the distortions and vibrations caused by ocean currents and wind and waves are all absorbed and buffered by this cornerstone gate. If this part is missing, the four artificial islands may collide, and in the end, they may even disintegrate directly in the ocean.

　Because it is such an important facility, the security around this building is extremely strict.

　However, what Lin Xuan saw now was a broken wall and the people wearing the uniforms of the Special Zone Security Force lying on the ground.

　Looking at the scene before him, Lin Xuan muttered silently in his heart, "This defense is too weak! Just a teacher and an artificial life with a transplanted beast, and they were beaten into this state. I really don't know how they were assigned to guard this extremely important building in the past."

　He nonchalantly passed by the unconscious or even dead Special Zone Security Force personnel.

　"Forget it, there's no need to dwell on this issue now. Let's go down and take a look. We can't really let that Teacher Jian take down the holy relic [The Saint's Right Arm] that is the cornerstone of Genshin Island. It would be really embarrassing if something like that really happened." As he spoke, Lin Xuan took a step and walked towards the bottom floor of the cornerstone gate.

　The floors that the invaders passed through were a scene of tragedy.

　More than sixty security personnel were seriously injured and collapsed around, and the smell of blood gradually filled the air. Among these seriously injured people, there was a girl who was unharmed. The blonde girl was looking at the tragic scene in front of her blankly, in a semi-trance state.

　At this moment, a sound of footsteps appeared, and it sounded like they were approaching here.

　The sudden sound of footsteps made Asagi's heart tighten, but the next moment, when she saw the person who made the footsteps walking out from the shadows, Asagi breathed a sigh of relief.

　"Lin Xuan? Why are you here?"

　"How could I not come and take a look at something this serious? If the Cornerstone Gate is destroyed, then the entire island will be destroyed. I have to be cautious. But are you okay? Are you hurt?"

　"No~~~" Shaking his head, Asagi said, "I'm not injured, I just got a little scared."

　"Really?" Lin Xuan nodded and said with a smile, "Let's leave here quickly. It's not safe after all."

　"Well, I will, but what about you?"

　"As a member of the Attack Masters of Genshin Island, I can't let the invaders cause more damage here. I have to go down and take a look."

　"..." Although she really wanted to stop Lin Xuan and didn't want him to take risks, in the end, Qian Cong didn't say it out loud, "Then you better be careful, the invader is very strong--"

　"Well, I'll be more careful."

　======= Bottom Floor of the Cornerstone Gate

　Ostach, the teacher, stared intently at the center of the bottom floor, where there were four artificial islands extending from the very end of the four steel cables. There was an anchor pier that fixed the heads of all the machinery. It was a metal base that looked like a mini inverted pyramid.

　In the center of the anchor pier is a beam, nailed inside like a wooden stake. Although its diameter is less than one meter, it carries the weight of millions of tons used to connect to the Genshin Island. It is a translucent stone pillar with a texture like obsidian - the cornerstone.

　If it was just a cornerstone with extremely strong load-bearing capacity, it would not have caused Ostach to lose his composure like this.

　"Ahhh~~~~" A sound mixed with surprise and exclamation came out of Ostach's mouth, and his whole body began to tremble and he knelt down on the spot. Hot tears kept sliding down his resolute face... His expression kept changing.

　"The immortal body that was usurped from the Rotanlingkia Sanctuary... This is the day of its return that we believers have long awaited. Haha!! Astrude, go and pull out the abominable wedge. Let us bring punishment to this island that has betrayed the Lord!!"
