Chapter 155 Bad News and Good News

When Luo Qingxi called Yan's house, Xiao Zhen was playing fitness games with Yan Zhu in the living room. The two of them were jumping around and didn't pay any attention to the phone call.
An Yuan walked over and answered the phone.
"Ah? He hasn't come home yet?" After a while of humming and ahing, An Yuan's voice was full of confusion. She turned to Xiao Zhen and said, "Xiao Zhen, come over and answer the phone."
"Who is it?"
"Aunt Luo." An Yuan handed the phone to Xiao Zhen.
"Hello, Auntie."
"Xiaozhen, do you know where Liu Xingquan went?" It was Luo Qingxi on the other end of the phone. She spoke very quickly, her voice filled with anticipation and anxiety.
"Liu Xingquan hasn't gone home yet?" Xiao Zhen subconsciously glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already nine o'clock in the evening.
"No. I closed the shop and went home, but he was not at home. I called his cell phone but no one answered. When I went to school, there was no one there either. Didn't he come to your house?" Luo Qingxi asked anxiously.
"No. When I got out of school, he said he had to be on duty, so he didn't leave with me."
"But there's no one in the school anymore. Xiaozhen, is it possible that Liu Xingquan went to another classmate's house?"
"I don't know." Xiao Zhen recalled the details of the school day, "He didn't say whose house he was going to."
"Xingquan, this kid, would definitely tell me in advance if he was coming back late. It's already so late, where would this kid be going..." Luo Qingxi murmured.
The phone hung up.
Yan Zhu asked, "What's wrong?"
An Yuan said, "Liu Xingquan hasn't come home yet." She looked at her watch, "It's already this late, where could Liu Xingquan be?"
Xiao Zhen turned on her phone and dialed Liu Xingquan's number. After two beeps, a message quickly rang, "The number you dialed is out of service."
As expected, the call couldn’t go through.
Luo Qingxi's voice sounded like she was really worried about him. Xiaozhen quickly sent a message to Liu Xingquan saying, "Your mother is looking for you, she is very anxious, please come home quickly." She hoped that he would see the message as soon as possible and come home quickly so as not to worry Aunt Luo.
The next day.
Liu Xingquan did not appear in the classroom.
By noon, the news that Liu Xingquan had not returned home all night and was now missing spread throughout the class.
"The squad leader is missing!!"
"Liu Xingquan's mother was so worried! She even called my house yesterday."
"They called my home, too. I heard from Teacher Feng that Liu Xingquan's mother called all the parents in the class yesterday."
"Where do you think the monitor will go?"
"I think he's been absent-minded these past two days, as if he has something on his mind. Could he have run away from home?" Xiang Zeyu said, glancing at Gao Yuan not far away, "Just like someone in the past."
Gao Yuan said, "Our class monitor is praised by the teacher every day. How could such a good student run away from home?"
Sun Siyue whispered, "So...what happened?"
"Don't be such a jinx!"
"Do you know what happened to Lu Zhehao from the No. 1 Middle School next door ? He was the Lu Zhehao who participated in the TV competition. He disappeared for many days during the summer vacation and became a vegetable when he was found. The class monitor wouldn't..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Our squad leader will definitely be fine!"
Cui Mingzhi appeared at the door of the classroom and waved to Xiaozhen.
"Yan Zhen, I have something to tell you."
Xiao Zhen came to the corridor outside the classroom, "What's wrong?"
"Yan Zhen, I just went to the classroom office and heard something. It seems like Liu Xingquan is really in trouble!!"
"What?"
"Aunt Luo arrived at the school early in the morning and checked the surveillance footage from yesterday. Liu Xingquan never left the school at all." Cui Mingzhi frowned and said, "The surveillance footage showed that he never left the school. But now he is really missing."
"Never left school?"
"Yes. The school security guards and teachers are looking for him, but they can't find him. The school is so small, where could he go? Don't you think this is strange? Aunt Luo is about to faint when she sees this. Oh, and she has already called the police, but it's not yet time to file a case."
Xiao Zhen asked: "Where did Liu Xingquan go last according to the surveillance?"
"The experimental building."
Ten minutes later, Mr. Cat and Captain Ban appeared in front of Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhen used the communication to contact them urgently, and they rushed to the school.
"Liu Xingquan is missing?"
"Um."
A man, a cat, and a chicken walked into the library on the third floor of the experimental building. Under Mr. Cat's control, no outsiders were allowed in.
"Before you came, I did some research. The last person Liu Xingquan saw yesterday was Teacher Fu, and the last place he stayed was this library." Xiao Zhen stared at Mr. Cat. "I remember someone seemed to guarantee that it hid the vortex here without fail."
"Yes, I remember it very clearly. A certain adult swore at that time, 'My disguise is foolproof.'" Captain Ban said.
Xiao Zhen repeated, "My disguise is flawless."
Mr. Cat squatted in front of the cabinet and ignored them, then opened the door.
The cat's head poked into the cupboard, and soon a cat's tail was left wagging outside the cupboard.
In an instant, the cat's tail also disappeared.
A few minutes later, Mr. Cat came out of the closet. There was no expression on his cute cat face, but his tail was wagging back and forth.
"This should have indeed been a foolproof disguise."
Xiao Zhen asked, "Should have?"
"If there hadn't been a void storm, this would have been a foolproof plan..."
Xiao Zhen lifted Mr. Cat up, and Mr. Cat's body was stretched vertically into a long strip in the air. Xiao Zhen lowered his voice viciously, "What if the void storm didn't happen?"
"Please don't get excited."
"I don't want to get excited? Are you admitting that you lost my classmate Liu Xingquan due to your negligence?"
"The chances of this storm are like a meteorite returning to Laura's vicinity after thousands of years, and then being attracted by gravity and crashing directly to the ground, and hitting your bedroom."
"But it happened!"
"Yes, in fact, even if there was a void storm, it wouldn't be a big deal, but Liu Xingquan just happened to be standing nearby. For example, the meteorite just happened to penetrate the classroom of the second grade second class of the fourth middle school, and then hit the lunch box on Liu Xingquan's desk."
"If the meteorite falls, the whole classroom will be gone!!" Xiao Zhen glared at Mr. Cat, "Don't make excuses! Do you want me to repeat what you said last time? 'This vortex is currently stable.'"
Captain Madara repeated in a drawn-out voice: "This vortex is stable at the moment."
"..." Mr. Cat shook his tail, "I think instead of pursuing the responsibility here, it is better to hurry up and find your classmate Liu Xingquan."
Mr. Cat was right. Even if Xiao Zhen stretched Mr. Cat into a long cat strip, it would be of no help to the missing Liu Xingquan.
They need to find Liu Xingquan back.
"Go back to class." Mr. Cat said to Xiaozhen.
"No, I want to go to Weave Night Star too."
Mr. Cat insisted, "It's useless for you to go. I can use the authority of the Eye of Supervision to investigate locally. As long as he is in Zhiyexing, I can find him no matter where he hides. What I'm afraid of is..."
"..." Xiao Zhen didn't respond, he knew what Mr. Cat was hinting at. The other side of this vortex was Zhiye Star. If Liu Xingquan was swept to Zhiye Star's garbage dump or fell to other places on Zhiye Star because of the storm, they could contact the local supervisor's eye to find him quickly. But the fear was that the storm swept Liu Xingquan to other unknown places in the galaxy.
The vortex is the ultimate mystery, the chaotic void, and the countless entwined snakes that are causally related to each other.
It is emptiness, it is deathly silence, it is chaos, it is the other side of life, it is the endless sea of ​​death.
Even the wisest Grand Master cannot fathom the truth of the vortex.
Liu Xingquan is just a tiny speck of dust to the whirlpool. When the wind blows, no one knows where the speck of dust will be blown to.
If he wasn't at Nightweaver Star...
At Mr. Cat's request, Xiaozhen returned to the classroom.
He knew clearly that Mr. Cat was right. In this situation, he could not help much by going to Zhiyexing. He could only let Mr. Cat go to Zhiyexing to investigate the situation first.
For the whole afternoon, the students in Class 2 were collectively absent-minded. Although Liu Xingquan was a man of few words, he would patiently answer questions asked by his classmates, and would also help his classmates with any small difficulties. Even the students who hated Liu Xingquan the most in the class would only admit that he was just a little aloof, but he was really a very good monitor. Just like Gu Yu and Cui Mingzhi in Class 1, Liu Xingquan was the pride of Class 2. In the hearts of his classmates, he was the laurel wreath of honor of the class, and the bright star that could be seen when they looked up. When Liu Xingquan was not in the classroom, it was as if someone had cut off the most glorious symbol of Class 2 with a knife, and everyone's heart was empty.
"Liu Xingquan will be fine!" said a girl.
Her voice melted into everyone's thoughts. He will be fine. Our class leader will come back. Whispers, prayers, anxiety and hope, the students said this over and over again, using words and thoughts, and flooded into Xiaozhen's sea of ​​consciousness again and again. Almost everyone was distracted in the afternoon class. Teacher Li asked several questions, but no one raised their hands to answer.
Looking at the silent faces of the students, Teacher Li rarely reprimanded them. He finally said, "Trust the teacher. Before the matter is confirmed, don't make wild assumptions."
This was the longest afternoon Xiaozhen had ever spent at school.
After class, he walked out of the classroom. In front of the office not far away, he saw Luo Qingxi. Her face was pale, and her eyes were fixed on the school's experimental building. The teachers were talking to her. It was already evening, and the lights in the corridor outlined her beautiful profile. She showed a strong determination, "Liu Xingquan will be fine, he will come back, I know he will definitely come back." She said this, as if she was talking to the dean next to her, but it was more like she was talking to herself.
Xiao Zhen stood there and stared at her for a while, then left before her gaze turned to him.
We must find Liu Xingquan back!
A voice suddenly rumbled in his head like thunder. It did not come from him, but from some remaining consciousness in him, a jumping spark, a strong will that spanned life and death.
Bring Liu Xingquan back.
Take Liu Xingquan home.
This is a matter of course. Xiao Zhen subconsciously said to the echo in her mind. In an instant, that will dissipated. It was as if it was just a blurry illusion.
I will definitely find Liu Xingquan back. He repeated this in his mind.
I'll take him home.
That night, Mr. Cat gave him the missing person results from the Night Star Supervisory Eye Office.
"Liu Xingquan, he is not at Zhiyexing."
Xiaozhen didn't say anything.
"One bad news, one good news."
Captain Madara shouted, "Hurry up and tell me!"
"According to the monitoring data analysis results, Liu Xingquan was swept to another planet. The bad news is that we cannot be sure whether he is still alive. The good news is that there is a rough coordinate direction." Mr. Cat clicked on the screen, and it drew a circle, "The Thorn Galaxy in the Jinghai Star Region."
"Can you use your authority to check?"
Mr. Cat shook his head. "Unlike Zhiyexing, the situation there is more complicated. My enemy faction is there."
"Why do I have the illusion that every time something goes wrong, I will encounter a factional struggle within your Oversight Eye?"
"It's not your illusion. Infighting is an eternal daily routine in the Galactic Federation."
"Have you cleaned up the library? Don't let anything else get into trouble!"
"The occurrence of a void storm is truly a once-in-a-millennium accident. This vortex is now handled more safely than you think."
Afterwards, Xiaozhen contacted his friend Zejin .
"Ze Jin, is the boat I booked ready?" Xiao Zhen asked.
