Chapter 228 Going Home Together
Xiao Zhen glanced at the human remains on the ground.
This is a wreckage with only some human and alien vine material left.
At some point, Mr. Cat appeared in the aisle.
"Hona's xenophyte," said Mr. Cat. "It is a carnivorous parasitic plant native to the tropical rain forest of the star Hona. It will select a host and genetically adjust the host to enhance its ability to hunt prey. But not all living creatures can become its suitable host."
"This host was invaded and parasitized by alien vines when he was young, and both his parents were killed." Xiao Zhen said.
"Yes, it means that the vines think that his parents are not suitable hosts." Mr. Cat jumped onto the windowsill. "Hona vines prefer young prey. On the one hand, they are more tender and delicious. On the other hand, young bodies are more suitable as a breeding ground for them. They can soothe and paralyze young hosts with gentle whispers, and when the time is right, they can inspire the host's enthusiasm for hunting prey."
"This host should have died not long after the invasion of the alien vines. His hatred for the alien vines that killed his parents was too strong, and to some extent it also affected the alien vines. He hoped that no more children like him would fall victim to the evil hands of the alien vines, but this was distorted into a fanatical killing spree against orphans."
"almost."
"I was thinking, what he said just now about his will overcoming the alien creepers, might be true to some extent. When I was talking to him, he had no idea that he was already completely an alien creeper in human skin. His remaining will also distorted the alien creepers to some extent, binding them within his body, making them think they were humans who were exterminating evil monsters."
"This is the will of mankind." Mr. Cat said calmly.
Xiao Zhen turned and walked out of the corridor, leaving the rest to the Eye of Supervision. But who brought this plant, which is ranked as the most dangerous plant in the galaxy, to Laura? How many such dangerous alien creatures are hidden in this blue planet?
This is why those annoying oversight eyes and safety committees are necessary.
Although he still hated these two institutions, he had to admit that they were indeed somewhat useful.
When Xiaozhen walked to the lobby on the first floor, Cui Mingzhi and the vending machine were looking at each other silently in the middle of the lobby.
Seeing Xiaozhen come out safely, Cui Mingzhi immediately showed joy.
At this time, the door on the first floor was pushed open and a chicken appeared at the door.
Captain Madara came upon hearing the news.
Xiaozhen suddenly had a premonition.
Cui Mingzhi slowly turned his head, looked at it and asked, "Why is there a chicken here?"
Captain Madara looked at the vending machine and shouted, "Why is there a vending machine here?"
Xiao Zhen: “…”
…
Cui Mingzhi had a lot of questions to ask Yan Zhen at this moment. Compared with the chicken that suddenly appeared, this strange vending machine was even more confusing. The abnormal behavior of the psychopathic murderer just now was exactly like the scene in a horror movie, but his friend Yan Zhen was able to talk to him without changing his expression.
Everything that happened was so strange.
First he was stalked by a vending machine, then kidnapped and chased by a psychopathic murderer, then he was saved by a vending machine that fell from the sky, and then his friend appeared and seemed to have solved everything. Cui Mingzhi thought to himself, I might be dreaming. Well, I must be dreaming.
If only it were all a dream.
If only everything was just a dream.
…
Then, this mysterious and bizarre dream came to its end.
His father appeared at the door.
Yes, that was his father. The intact father. Not the shrunken moth that had been lying dead in the box for days.
His father looked at him and choked up, "Xiao Ming..."
Cui Mingzhi immediately rushed over and hugged Cui's father tightly, "Dad...Dad! Where have you been?! I was so worried about you!!" His tears could not stop flowing.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Ming." His father choked up and said, "I'm sorry..."
"You're gone, you're all gone!! I thought you left me..."
"I'm sorry, Xiao Ming. It's all Daddy's fault."
Cui Mingzhi raised his head, his eyes were wet, his father's eyes were red, and his hands were pressed tightly on him. That was his father, a real father who exuded a warm breath. His stepmother and Zhang Yiyang stood beside him, their eyes were also red, and the way they looked at him seemed very different from the past. It was no longer a look full of hostility and exclusion, but more like... more like the eyes of a family member.
Father Cui wiped his eyes and said, "Xiao Ming, let's go home now. Dad will never leave you alone again!"
"good!!"
Cui Mingzhi nodded vigorously. When he was about to follow his father, he stopped.
He turned and ran to the vending machine, threw in a few coins, and selected a bottle of white peach soda on the screen. The white peach soda rolled out. He bent down and picked up the white peach soda. He whispered, "Thank you."
The vending machine flashed its lights.
Choi Myung-Ji ran back to his father.
They went home together.
The whole family goes home together.
…
…
Xiao Zhen turned to Captain Madara and said, "Thank you for sending them here in time."
"Yeah, that's just right."
Xiao Zhen looked at Mr. Cat, "I have a question."
"What?"
"According to Choi Mingzhi's superficial consciousness, his stepmother and brother would not be so friendly. Did you do anything?"
"That wasn't my doing. It was probably an unintentional effect."
"oh?"
"When the Pu Ni monster is emotionally excited, it will decompose itself and nearby intelligent life into liquid in order to pursue the sharing of consciousness."
"I know. It is said that the liquid of the Pu Ni monster can touch the dreams that countless Pu Ni monsters have condensed over millions of years. Their consciousness is passed down in this way, and even the oldest dreams are preserved."
"Yes, it was a grand dream woven by countless consciousnesses that most lives could not understand. During the time when the Cui family and Pu Pu dissolved together, they entered this grand and remote realm. In that abnormal dream, they were able to come into contact with huge and dense roads. Through the strange network that transcended reality, they saw other worlds."
"Other world lines?"
"Yes, they spied on another path in the multidimensional world." Mr. Cat said as he looked at the family of four going away. "In that world line, they did not melt into liquid but traveled abroad as planned, but Choi Ming-chi was still mistaken for an orphan and was attacked by alien vines and died unfortunately. After losing his beloved son, Choi's father was devastated and could not recover, and the family was also destroyed by Choi Ming-chi's death. It was the unintentional peeping and feelings that made his father, his stepmother and his younger brother unable to endure the pain on that path."
"I see." Xiao Zhen stared at Mr. Cat and said, "Is this an unintentional snoop?"
"No."
“…”
"Although humans don't always learn from experience, they will correct their behavior to some extent after suffering pain. This can be considered one of the advantages of humans." Mr. Cat turned his head. "Also, I have a question."
"What?"
“Why is there a vending machine here?”
Cao Yu walked up the stairs and arrived at Cui Mingzhi's door.
This is the child's home that his boss, Inspector Sheying, mentioned. The parents of this family mysteriously disappeared, but were suppressed by the Eye of Supervision, which directly led to the danger of this middle school student named Cui Mingzhi. When Cao Yu thought of this, he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with the Eye of Supervision. This was the result of the self-righteous style of the Eye of Supervision. The Security Committee and the Eye of Supervision overlapped in some functions, and the two galactic organizations had always been hostile to each other.
In Cao Yu's mind, the Security Committee he was on was the real guardian of the citizens of the Galaxy, and the Eye of Supervision was just a weapon in the power struggle. Whenever he thought of the last time when Prince Tianqing disappeared and he was defeated by a masked agent of the Eye of Supervision, he would be angry and annoyed.
At present, the Supervisory Eye has suppressed the disappearance of the parents of this middle school student. There must be some shameful secrets. Cao Yu stared at Cui Mingzhi's house with the door closed. He decided to sneak into the house to investigate.
If he could get hold of something that could prove to be the Supervisory Eye, his boss, Inspector Sheying, would definitely be very happy.
It was no problem for an agent like Cao Yu to open the locked door of a local human residence. He walked into Cui's house. The room looked like it hadn't been tidied for days, and the trash can was filled with takeout boxes and instant noodle packaging bags.
He looked around, searching for anything suspicious.
At this time, Cao Yu keenly felt that there was a person approaching cautiously behind him, and the person's breath revealed a strong intention to attack. Cao Yu pretended not to notice, and the person was getting closer and closer, and then, a gust of wind whistled!
Cao Yu turned around in an instant and swung the electric baton at the man behind him. The man behind him screamed and was paralyzed by the electric shock and fell to the ground. This person seemed to be a local human. He was holding a bench in his hand, and it seemed that he wanted to use the bench as an attack weapon.
Bench? Cao Yu thought to himself, if this person is the serial killer, then this weapon is too strange.
Then he heard a louder noise.
…
…
Seven minutes ago.
Li Xinyi knocked on Cui Mingzhi's door a few times, and the door of Lao Zheng's house opened. Lao Zheng stuck his head out and said, "I saw Xiao Ming go out just now. He's not at home." He looked at the cooked food in Li Xinyi's hand and said, "Is this for Xiao Ming? Not bad, not bad. This child needs to eat something good."
His wife, Tan Mei, walked to the door and said with a smile, "Professor Li, why don't you stay at my house for a while? Maybe Xiao Ming will be back soon."
Li Xinyi nodded and smiled, then walked into the living room. After putting down the cooked food, Li Xinyi and Qin Mei chatted about family matters, the latest gossip in the neighborhood, such as who is getting divorced, who's son is getting married again, and who's daughter is successful and has been admitted to a prestigious university. They just said a few words when they saw Lao Zheng's expression change, and he signaled the two women to speak in a lower voice.
Tan Mei asked him what was wrong.
"I just saw a stranger enter Xiao Ming's home."
"who?"
"I don't know. From the back he doesn't look like a good person. He seems sneaky."
Tan Mei was surprised and asked, "Did a thief break in? Call the police!"
"Call the police." Lao Zheng picked up a stool from his home and said, "I'll hit him from behind. See where he runs."
"Ah!" Li Xinyi wanted to say that this was not okay and was too reckless, but she saw that Lao Zheng had already picked up the bench and walked out.
When Qin Mei called 110 and was reporting the address, she suddenly heard a scream coming from Cui Mingzhi's home. That voice was Lao Zheng's. The two women looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.
The next second, Qin Mei picked up the rolling pin at home and rushed into Cui Mingzhi's house, shouting "Give me back my husband." Li Xinyi picked up the phone and quickly said the address, then pulled out a small fruit knife and rushed over.
Cao Yu was bending over to check on the person who was electrocuted. Suddenly, he heard a loud shout, "Give me back my husband!!"
Two women rushed in one after another and started to beat him head on.
…
…
Policeman Zhao Anliang was on duty outside the community. He stood outside the community and the street was as peaceful as usual. Well, there was no running vending machine at all. Zhao Anliang thought, it must be someone's prank.
At this time, he received another police report that a thief was found in 301, Building 32 of a certain community and was asked to go there immediately. Zhao Anliang looked at the address and realized that it was the address of the community next to him.
He turned and walked into the community. Just as he reached the bottom of the building, he saw a man running away with his head in his hands. Later, two women with flaming eyes followed him. The leading woman was beating the man while shouting, "Give me back my husband! Give me back my husband! Give me back my husband!!"
His colleague said: "That person seems to be Cao Yu who is on leave today..."
Zhao Anliang: “…”
