Chapter 19 Whirlpool
Three Heart Devourers were wandering around the experimental building.
"What do you think?"
"No harm." Mr. Cat squatted on the stairs of the laboratory building, and strange black tadpoles were swimming beside him. "Not many spots. Just a little bit abnormal."
Captain Madara ran back and forth in the corridor, "But why is it here? Is there something wrong with this laboratory building?"
Xiao Zhen said: "If my perception is not abnormal, there is only one alien in this school besides me, Teacher Xiao Yuan. I have tested her and she is not aware of the abnormality of this building." Without the help of equipment, only heart-eating demons like them with special perception can detect this level of spatial chaos.
"It's hard to say what caused the abnormality in the building." Mr. Cat flicked his tail with his foot. "Maybe it was just an accident caused by the space storm, maybe it was man-made, or maybe there was a vortex nearby..."
Hearing the word "whirlpool", Xiao Zhen and Captain Madara fell silent. This abnormal situation meant that the local Galaxy Monitoring Eye would definitely report it, which would attract the supervision of the Galaxy Parliament Legion Security Committee and other things, which was equivalent to the arrival of trouble.
"Let's not do that," Captain Madara said.
"You can't just say there's no possibility." Mr. Cat said, "The best outcome is an accident caused by a space storm."
Xiaozhen recalled the conversation she had with the girl yesterday. She had just told Xiaozhen that Ah Hua had passed away last night. She was very depressed. Xiaozhen asked her where she found the box. The girl replied that it was a box that no one wanted that she picked up from the laboratory building.
So who dropped this box from outer space ?
They don't have an answer yet.
The black tadpole swam in front of his eyes. Although it was unnecessary, Xiao Zhen subconsciously took a step back. This was an instinctive disgust from his body. These void particles were harmless and would only interfere with the mind and vision at most. The super-strong induction of the Heart Devouring Demon undoubtedly put pressure on the delicate human nerves. Xiao Zhen's head began to tingle.
The class bell rang.
Xiaozhen trotted back to her classroom.
This class was a math class. The math teacher was a conservative middle-aged man named Li. He was full of resentment about the results of the math test in class. In this math test, Xiaozhen's class average score ranked second from the bottom in the whole grade. It was only because of Liu Xingquan's score that she didn't fall into the tragic situation of being the last in the grade. This made Teacher Li feel humiliated.
He glared at the group of idiot students in his class who were not aware of their shortcomings and were wasting their youth by not making good use of their time to study, and began his daily mental beating.
Although she has only been in class for a few weeks, Xiaozhen can already recite Teacher Li's daily mental lashing by heart. Don't think that you can go to a key middle school now and you will have no worries. Those who can go to the key high school of this middle school are the real dragons among men. With such poor grades now, you should be thankful to God if 8 of your class can get into the high school department of this school. If others continue to maintain such grades, they can only go to a rubbish high school, take the college entrance examination, and go to a rubbish university. In the future, they will not be able to find a job and will have to sweep the streets to live in vain and drag their parents down until they die.
(His surface consciousness was to take a gun and shoot all of you.) A voice sounded in Xiaozhen's mind. It was the brain waves coming from Captain Madara in the tree outside the window.
(I can sense it, so you don’t need to describe it again.)
Captain Ban laughed and said: (This guy's enthusiasm reminds me of the overly passionate supervisor on my ship. The only difference is that he is devoted to how to encourage us to go to our deaths every day.)
(Supervisor? Have you ever been in the military?)
(I had a stronger host at that time. Although interstellar civilizations develop differently, the competition in Homo sapiens society is really similar. Your teacher is passionate enough, but he is obviously in the opposite direction in terms of inciting emotions.)
(After all, he doesn’t have the authority to fire anyone for doing poorly on the test.)
Perhaps it was because of his interaction with Captain Madara that he seemed to be in a trance. Mr. Lee attacked Xiao Zhen.
"Yan Zhen!!"
“!?” Xiao Zhen was stunned.
"Come up and answer this question."
There were several equations on the blackboard. Xiao Zhen wrote down the answers without even thinking.
The students were whispering below.
"Yan Zhen!" Teacher Li said, "What's your answer?"
“I’ve already written the results.”
Teacher Li angrily asked, "Where is your solution process? Where is your derivation process?"
"..." Even though the correct answer has been written, people still take the trouble to write out the meaningless deduction process. Humans are really form-conscious creatures.
Xiaozhen picked up the chalk and started writing down the solution process.
Suddenly, a fierce pain twitched in his head like a venomous snake. This was the human body resisting and warning because it could not bear the sudden perception. Xiao Zhen controlled his perception, and the brain nerves in his body trembled because of the strong pricking sensation, so strong and rapid, where did this information come from?
He turned his head to look out the window, and then Xiaozhen shouted in a strange voice: "Teacher, I don't feel well! I'm going to the infirmary!" He threw down the chalk, and ran out without even looking at Teacher Li who wanted to stop him.
At this moment, outside the window, the laboratory building was being entangled by a huge creature. It looked like a giant eel, and its true outline was blurred in the mist. Its body was covered with shiny scales, and its green tail was covered with dazzling hair. Its body was entangled with the laboratory building, surging and rolling.
Students are attending classes in the classroom unconsciously, which is not an area that can be observed by Homo sapiens.
The campus is peaceful.
The huge creature twisted around the laboratory building.
…
…
"Is this what you mean by it doesn't matter?" Xiao Zhen pointed at the laboratory building and questioned Mr. Cat who was wagging his tail.
Mr. Cat said, "It is indeed harmless. And no one can see it."
"Even though my host is already brain dead, I can feel his remaining consciousness doubting his life!!" Xiao Zhen shouted, "This abnormality is far beyond ordinary cognition!!"
"It's just a projection of a void creature. It's harmless. Normal people can't see it. Don't be affected by your host."
"If it was just floating particles in the void, I could accept it. But why is there such a big thing now?!"
"This is too much." Captain Madara flew to Xiao Zhen's shoulder. "It took me a lot of effort to prevent my host from frightening himself to death."
"No harm." Mr. Cat turned his head away.
"Your tail is wagging real hard."
"Is there?"
Xiao Zhen and Captain Madara: "Yes!"
"No." The cat pressed its tail with its paw and looked away.
"What are you hiding?"
"No."
"What did you do after I left?"
"Nothing."
Xiao Zhen lifted the cat, and the cat's tail kept wagging. "After I returned to the classroom, Captain Madara was still outside my classroom window. That damn big eel hadn't appeared at that time. What did you do to the laboratory building?"
Mr. Cat tilted his head, as if considering whether to answer.
Xiao Zhen shook Mr. Cat up and down and left and right.
"Stop shaking!! I didn't actually do anything. Just did a test."
The chicken repeated in a strange voice: "One, test, only?"
"Well, I just wanted to test if there was a whirlpool. And then, accidentally, this happened."
The giant void creature entangled in the experimental building opened its mouth, sucking countless black tadpole-like floating particles into its stomach. Its body slid through the window of the building and placed its giant mouth on the ground. In Xiaozhen's eyes, its half-open mouth was a mist of illusory darkness and a foul abyss.
Several students walked into its mouth without noticing, and then walked out of its gills without noticing. It was a projection of a void creature and could not interfere with this space and time.
"I just increased the number of void projections. Don't be so nervous." Mr. Cat scratched his ear.
"Thank you, you have successfully driven my brain-dead host insane."
"Don't you think what you said is very illogical?"
"Make these damn projections disappear!!"
Mr. Cat said, "I can't do that. But I can publish my experimental results."
"What?"
“There is indeed a vortex.”
Xiao Zhen let go of his hand. Mr. Cat fell to the ground. He turned over and said, "I can confirm that there is a vortex in your school's laboratory building."
"There's a whirlpool." Xiao Zhen repeated.
"There's a whirlpool," the chicken repeated stereotypedly.
Xiao Zhen guessed that he and Ji looked like two fools. The last time he was shocked into a fool who temporarily lost his sanity was on Planet 28 of the N-36 galaxy, when the authorities had just announced a ban on the Heart Eater from parasitizing living creatures.
"There shouldn't be a whirlpool here," Xiao Zhen said.
"I was thinking that there shouldn't be any alien visitors here." Mr. Cat straightened up. "I tested the force field. Thanks to this experiment, the void projection increased dramatically. But this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that I have located the vortex."
"There shouldn't be a whirlpool here," Captain Madara repeated.
"Can you two accept the reality?"
"You know what this means." Xiao Zhen said, "The vortex means that the galactic civilization needs to intervene here." With the civilization level of this planet, it is simply unable to deal with such a serious anomaly. Once the Eye of Supervision reports it, the independent civilization code will immediately become invalid. The best result he can think of is that the parliament or the legion will directly take over the planet.
This rare paradise will lose its peace forever. It will become a colony fought over by the legion and the government parliament, and even become a battlefield.
No matter how she thought about it, Xiaozhen didn't like this result.
"I can't accept this!!" the chicken yelled.
Mr. Cat said, "I can't accept that either. So, I have a suggestion." Xiaozhen and the chicken looked at it. Mr. Cat said happily, "Let's hide this vortex!"
“…”
"You sound like you're hiding a lollipop."
"We don't know how long this vortex has been here. As long as the Security Committee and the Overwatch Eye don't find out, we can hide it."
"How to hide?"
Mr. Cat smiled slyly and happily. Xiao Zhen felt that he was waiting for this sentence. He said, "Let's go over and take a look first."
The vortex Mr. Cat mentioned is in the library on the third floor of the laboratory building. Xiao Zhen ignored the huge fish head with half its mouth open lying at the door of the laboratory building. When he stepped into the laboratory building, the light turned from bright to dark, and countless black tadpoles danced wildly in the space. This projection chaos has increased by more than ten times compared to an hour ago. Thank you Mr. Cat for that damn test.
But without Mr. Cat's test, they would not have been able to observe the existence of this vortex.
Finally, they stopped at the library on the third floor of the laboratory building. Xiao Zhen pushed open the door. It was class time, and there were no teachers or students inside, which was a blessing. Xiao Zhen couldn't explain why he brought a cat and a chicken into the library.
They walked past rows of bookshelves and finally stopped in front of a row of bookcases. Mr. Cat pointed to the blind spot next to the bookcases and said, "The vortex is right here. It's the culprit that caused the void spots to appear in the laboratory building."
Xiao Zhen saw nothing but the wall. The same thing happened with the chicken.
Although they are all Heart Devourers, there are differences in perception and skills between individuals. Xiao Zhen knows that his perception is not weak in the entire tribe. His strongest points are in other aspects. Captain Madara is good at physical transformation. Mr. Cat is undoubtedly the most perceptive of the three of them. But even so, it is impossible for him not to be able to detect even the slightest clue of the vortex.
He asked doubtfully, "Are you sure? I didn't feel anything."
Mr. Cat said, "Pull my tail."
Xiaozhen squatted down and grabbed the cat's tail.
In an instant, Mr. Cat disappeared. To be exact, Mr. Cat's body disappeared. It was as if it had been cut off, and there was still a soft and fluffy tail in Xiaozhen's hand.
The cat stepped into the vortex.
"ah……"
He "felt" that at the other end of the cat's tail was the other side of the vortex, the void channel that distorted space, and the cause and effect that brought about this chaotic projection.
It is a quiet, empty, dead, chaotic nothingness. It is an endless cycle of countless ouroboros.
This is a vortex.
His consciousness rotated and drifted among millions of stars until Mr. Cat's voice brought him back to reality.
Just as if it had suddenly disappeared, Mr. Cat's figure reappeared.
Xiao Zhen asked it: "What is on the other side of the vortex?"
Mr. Cat shook his fur and said, "This vortex is connected to a garbage dump."
"What?"
"You should be familiar with that planetary city. It's a garbage dump somewhere on the Nightweaver Star in the Cryptogram Galaxy Planetary City Cluster. It stinks really bad there." Mr. Cat said, "Now the origin of the box has been solved."
“From this garbage dump?”
"That's right. This vortex just had a space storm, and there's a high chance that the box was blown over from the garbage dump by the storm."
Xiao Zhen blinked: "Are you sure?"
"That's the only explanation." Mr. Cat sighed, "And I don't know how long this vortex has existed on this planet. I suspect the storm may have brought more than just one box, and probably a lot of other garbage."
“…”
"So we not only have to hide this vortex, but we also have to observe whether the local humans here have picked up strange alien garbage like the replica box to prevent them from causing a lot of trouble."
"..." Xiao Zhen suddenly felt that directly giving this vortex to the Eye of Supervision seemed to be a more worry-free option.
