This MC is so original

"Wake up!"

Lu Xiu walked up and patted the cashier's face, but the other party still did not react. Even though Lu Xiu increased his strength and slapped the other party's face, leaving a red slap mark, the other party still slept soundly like a dead person.

"Could it be that the Xumi people have a habit similar to hibernation?" Yan Duola said half-jokingly as she flew beside Lu Xiu.

Lu Xiu thought of Ke Lai, and quickly turned around and ran upstairs, and Yandora hurriedly followed him.

When Lu Xiu arrived at the room where Cole was, he didn't knock on the door this time. He just reached out and pushed hard, and the whole door fell off the door frame. In order to avoid making a big noise, Lu Xiu carefully put the door aside.

After entering the bedroom, sure enough!

Lu Xiu saw Cole sleeping soundly in his pajamas on the bed. No matter what method Lu Xiu used, he couldn't wake Cole up.

Seeing someone she was familiar with sleeping in such a strange way, Yandora was a little scared.

"Lu Xiu, what happened to Ke Lai?"

"I don't know. At least I can confirm that Xumi doesn't have the habit of sleeping together and not being able to wake them up."

Lu Xiu picked up Cole by the waist, then asked Yandora to hold his shoulders, and then teleported to the city wall with a TP.

At the same time in Huacheng Castle, Tinari was about to go out to inspect Daocheng Forest as usual, but the next second, Lu Xiu appeared in front of him holding Cole.

"Lucius? Cole?"

Tinari was stunned for a moment, frowning as he looked at Kelai in Lu Xiu's arms. He didn't care how Lu Xiu suddenly appeared here, and asked hurriedly, "What happened?"

"I don't know, this happened suddenly."

Lu Xiu first held Ke Lai and placed her in his room, and then told her what he had seen and heard.

"Are you sure that the entire Xumi City has fallen into a coma? And not that your hotel was attacked and everyone fell asleep?"

"I'm not sure. I hadn't left the hotel yet when I found Cole had also fallen into a deep sleep, so I hurriedly brought him here."

Tinari frowned and walked forward to check Cole's physical condition, even lifting his eyelids to take a look.

"What's going on? After my examination, Cole was just asleep? But this is too strange, isn't it? If he was asleep, why couldn't he be woken up?"

"Would you like to try milk?"

Lu Xiu took out a bucket of milk and explained, "This milk can remove all negative states. If this can't wake Kelai up, it means she's not in a state of sleep due to a curse or drugs."

Tinari didn't have any good ideas at the moment, so he agreed with Lu Xiu's idea.

The two men held Cole and carefully pried open her mouth and slowly fed her milk. After a bucket of milk was drunk, Lu Xiu and Tinari waited for a while, but nothing happened and Cole was still asleep.

This made Tinari's heart sink.

"If it's not because of the curse and the medicine, then what could it be?"

Lu Xiu also crossed his arms and began to think. He entered the city with Ke Lai. Except that they went their separate ways to do their own things, their experiences were the same.

But why did both Cole and the hotel cashier fall into a deep sleep? What do they have in common?

Chapter 243: Catherine? Narcida?

Is it because Cole and the cashier are both from Xumi?

Impossible, Tinari is still awake, which is the most direct evidence that this is not possible.

So what else do they have in common?

Lu Xiu's gaze wandered over Ke Lai, finally landing on the void terminal beside her ear.

"Is it because of the Void Terminal?"

When Tinari heard Lu Xiu's muttering, he also turned his gaze to the void terminal on Cole's ear.

"Kole fell into a deep sleep because of the Void Terminal?"

"I'm not sure. By the way, Tinari, are the Void Terminals only in Xumi City?"

Tinari nodded. "The Void Terminal is a new technology recently developed by the Ministry of Education. It's only distributed in Xumi City. The Ministry of Education has also strictly restricted the outflow of Void Terminals. Aside from a few individuals who can carry Void Terminals outside, anyone wearing a Void Terminal is restricted from entering or leaving under the pretext of being able to inquire about its user experience."

Tinari's words made Lu Xiu even more certain that Cole and the cashier's deep sleep was caused by the void terminal.

As for why he did not fall into a deep sleep despite also wearing a void terminal, Lu Xiu knew it. Perhaps it was because of the MC characteristics that he would not be affected by this. This was why his void terminal suddenly broke down in the morning.

"If it's really the Void Terminal that's causing this, then I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."

Tinari was a little confused. His research direction had nothing to do with the Void Terminal, so he had no idea where to start.

"I'm not sure if it's the Void Terminal. I need to go back to Xumi City to confirm. If more than just Ke Lai and the hotel cashier are asleep, then it can be proven that it's the Void Terminal that's to blame."

Lu Xiu turned to look at Tinari and said, "I'm going back to Xumi City. I'll leave Kelai to you, Tinari."

Tinari nodded and said, "Don't worry, Kelai is my student, I will naturally not let anything happen to her."

Lu Xiu nodded, turned around and teleported Yandora back to his room in the hotel.

He slept on the bed in the hotel room, which allowed him to teleport directly back to Xumi City. Otherwise, he would have to fly back to Xumi City, which would waste a lot of time.

At the same time when Lu Xiu returned to the hotel, in the Order Institute, the staff who maintained the operation of the void terminal were surprised to find during a routine inspection that the signal of a void terminal suddenly teleported from Xumi City to the location of Huachengguo. Similarly, the signal of another void terminal suddenly disappeared.

However, compared with the former, the latter was not so surprising, because he had been told by the higher-ups long ago that it was normal for the signal to suddenly disappear within the plan and there was no need to worry about it.

So the staff member no longer paid attention to the disappearing signal, but rubbed his eyes and looked at the screen again. The suddenly moving signal was still at the location of Huachengguo. This scared him, and he quickly got up and ran to find the great sage Azar.

"Great Sage, something strange has happened!"

Azar, who was reading a document, looked up irritably. Seeing that it was the staff of the Void Terminal, he suppressed his displeasure and asked, "What happened?"

"A signal from a void terminal suddenly reached Huacheng!"

"what?!"

The great sage Azar stood up suddenly, frowning and saying, "Hasn't Xumi City already ordered its soldiers to seal all entrances and exits? Besides, shouldn't those people have fallen asleep? Could they have sleepwalked out?!"

The staff member shook his head blankly: "I don't know..."

"Useless things!"

The staff's complete lack of knowledge in any of the questions inquired about the matter infuriated the Great Sage Azar. He issued an order, "Hurry up and send the disciplinary officers to Huacheng. Make sure to capture that person and bring him back to Xumi City. The Void Terminal plan must not be leaked!"

"Yes!"

On the other side, Lu Xiu took Yandora out of the room, walked to the corridor and knocked on the closed doors one by one, but there was no response.

Lu Xiu opened the small map and zoomed in several times, then carefully confirmed that there was someone in every room.

Lu Xiu randomly picked a room, carefully broke the door lock and walked in. In the room, there was a middle-aged man who, like Cole, was lying on the bed and snoring with a void terminal on his ear.

"Sure enough, it was the Void Terminal that did this."

Now Lu Xiu was sure that it was the Void Terminal that was causing the trouble.

Yandora asked worriedly, "Why is this happening?"

"I don't know. Perhaps I'll have to go to the Ordinance House to get the answer."

Lu Xiu took Yandora out of the hotel. It was already daytime, but there was no one on the street.

Lu Xiu walked around the city with Yandora for a while. Just as they were about to turn at the intersection ahead, a team of fully armed soldiers slowly walked out from the corner.

Lu Xiu immediately took Yandora to hide aside, and only came out from the corner after the soldiers left.

Yandora, who had been startled just now, asked in a low voice: "Lu Xiu Lu Xiu, you are so powerful, why are you hiding?"

"The current situation is still unclear, and it's easier to find out something by hiding in the dark."

Although Lu Xiu is not afraid of anyone, if there is really a mastermind behind this strange sleeping incident, exposing himself will only scare the other party into hiding the truth.

While the two were chatting, Lu Xiu suddenly noticed a yellow dot appear behind them on the small map.

Lu Xiu immediately took out his magic sword and turned to point it at the newcomers, only to see Catherine, the poster girl of the Adventurer's Association, looking at them with a confused expression.

"Catherine?" Lu Xiu naturally recognized the poster girl of the Adventurer's Association. Although he had no dealings with the Adventurer's Association, he also knew that Catherine was a robot and should not show a human-like expression of confusion, nor would she appear in such a place.

Catherine should have stayed in the Adventurer's Guild honestly.

Lu Xiu looked at the small map again in confusion, wanting to confirm whether the 'Catherine' in front of him was real.

As a result, I saw that there was a bracket after Catherine's name on the small map, and another name was written in the bracket.

Nasida.

"Narcida? Is she a unique individual of Katherine or a prototype character?"

Lu Xiu was a little confused.

"Huh? You know me?"

And 'Catherine' in front of Lu Xiu became even more confused when she heard Lu Xiu calling her name.

"who are you?"

Lu Xiu stared at Nashida vigilantly, ready to take action at any time.

Nashida looked Lu Xiu up and down curiously, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

“Are you the one who uploaded those videos?”

"What video?"

Lu Xiu was a little confused and didn't react for a while.

Nashida grabbed Lu Xiu's hand.

"Follow me, this is not the place to talk."

Chapter 244 Sense of Ritual

Nashida led Lu Xiu and Yandora all the way to the back door of the Adventurer's Association, then stopped and turned around.

Nashida also looked at Lu Xiu's ear curiously at this time, but did not see the shadow of the void terminal there, which made her a little curious.

"Didn't you upload a video about the current state of human reproduction to the Void Terminal? Where's the Void Terminal?"

Lu Xiu didn't rush to answer Nashida's question. Instead, he looked at her in surprise and asked, "Have you seen the video I uploaded?"

Nashida nodded very frankly: "Yes, it really opened my eyes."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

Lu Xiu looked at Nashida and said in amazement, "I didn't expect the Adventurer's Association's poster girl would be so fond of this. You can talk about this video so calmly without batting an eyelid. You really are worthy of being a robot."

"robot?"

Nashida was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm not a robot. You know my name, but you don't know who I am?"

This made Lucius frown. "You look like Catherine, but your name is Nashida. Aren't you a special version of Catherine? Like a robot that suddenly awakens its intelligence."

Nashida smiled and shook her head in denial. "I'm not some special person to Catherine. I'm simply using the Void Terminal she's wearing to temporarily borrow her body. I'm physically disabled, so I can only do this."

"Oh, remote control. I see. So, is there something you want me to do?"

"Well, although it may be a bit abrupt, I would like to ask you for a favor."

This made Lu Xiu a little wary: "How can I know if you're against me if you ask for help right after we met?"

Nashida smiled calmly and said, "If I were your enemy, I wouldn't have to bring you here. I could just report you. The people of Xumi City have been dragged into an endless dream, and you, now out of control, are the biggest variable disrupting the Order's plans. What do you think will happen to you if I report you?"

"Being wanted by the whole city, I have experience with this." Lu Xiu happily talked about his possible fate.

"Well, could you do me a favor?"

"If that's all you're saying, then I refuse." Lu Xiu sneered at Nashida. "My dear lady, even an idiot knows that asking for help comes at a price, and what you said earlier wasn't a reward, but a threat."

Nashida nodded in agreement. "Well, your statement is consistent with human behavior. Asking for compensation is reasonable, but I can't give you treasures like money or jewelry right now. Well, how about using 'knowledge' as compensation?"

"Knowledge?" This word was refreshing to Lu Xiu.

"Yes, knowledge." Nashida raised her hand and stroked her chest, saying softly, "Sumeru is known as the kingdom of wisdom. In Sumeru, knowledge is also a commodity. As a reward, I can give you the knowledge you want, from astronomy to geography. As long as I know it, I can give it as an exchange."

"That's fine. After this is done, I want to know about the Great Kindness Tree King, the Flower God, and the Little Auspicious Grass King."

Nashida was a little surprised, but nodded and agreed.

"it is good."

"Then stop talking nonsense and tell me what to do?"
