Chapter 242: Door-to-Door Inquiry
Under Mr. Cat's contemptuous gaze, Xiaozhen climbed out of the swimming pool.
"So why did you dig a swimming pool in the lab?"
"You'll have to ask our respected Captain Madara about that."
Captain Madara looked unconvinced, "I'm trying to give the catworm more room to move around. It can't turn into a phoenix and fly outside. It needs a place to move around if it stays at home all day."
Mr. Cat stared at the cat-bug lying on the plastic yellow duck. The cat-bug's cat head was shaking rhythmically. The little head with sunglasses was swaying, and the cat ears were moving up and down, which was quite funny.
"What is it doing?"
"Listen to music."
"What?"
Captain Ban explained that after the cat-worm evolved, it had the ability to absorb electrical energy. Now it has learned to receive electromagnetic waves and wireless signals in the air without any instruction, and can directly use its own characteristics to surf the Internet without any obstacles. It is now listening to music on a popular radio station.
Xiao Zhen wanted to say that there is all sorts of junk information on the Internet, and that we shouldn't let cats and bugs surf the Internet all day and indulge in bad information, but he changed his mind and thought that what he said was exactly the same as An Yuan's control theory, so he held back and didn't say anything.
He turned and looked at Mr. Cat. He now had something more important to communicate with it.
So he told Wei Jingjing about the inspiration that Gin from the Thousand Faces Cafe had given him and how he had just tried to invade her.
"You were kicked out?"
"Yes, he was chased out before he even got close."
Mr. Cat looked at him. "Are you trying to avoid hurting her? That's why you didn't force your way in."
"No." Xiao Zhen explained, "I tried very hard to enter her deep consciousness, but I was ejected before I even touched it. This situation is rare and even a little strange."
"Um?"
“It’s hard to describe, you have to try it yourself.”
Mr. Cat glanced at Xiao Zhen, then turned and walked to the incubator where Wei Jingjing's body was placed and placed his cat's paw on it.
…
…
The girl opened her eyes and found herself lying on a large, fluffy bed. The top of the bedposts were covered with beautiful ostrich feathers and white feathers. She stared at the curtains embroidered with star patterns and golden tassels for a long time until she regained consciousness. She sat up slowly. The bed was as soft as a cloud of feathers and more comfortable than any bed she had slept in before. She carefully rolled off the bed. The carpet on the floor was very soft, and there was a pair of lovely slippers inlaid with pearls beside the bed.
Wei Jingjing put her feet in and the slippers fit her feet just as she had imagined.
This bedroom was so luxurious that it felt unreal and dreamy. The furnishings inside reminded her of the bedrooms of the princes and nobles in the Palace of Versailles that she had visited in Europe before. The couches and chairs in the room were covered with dark green velvet cushions embroidered with gold thread. All the utensils were extremely delicate and elegant, and the ceiling depicted stories from Greek mythology. No matter from which angle you looked at it, this room looked like the boudoir of a Western princess in a movie.
She stood there in a daze.
The door was pushed open, and several maids dressed in black and white servant clothes came in. They shouted, "Princess Jingjing is awake, Princess Jingjing is awake!"
They wheeled her to a dressing table with gold-leafed edges, and a maid expertly combed her long hair, praising its black and shiny color as she did so.
Is my hair already this long? Wei Jingjing thought to herself as she looked at herself in the mirror.
In the mirror, her hair had grown to her waist, smooth and shiny like silk. The maid behind her smiled and praised her a few times, parted her hair, combed it into a braid, and then braided it and put a jewel hairpin in it, "Princess Jingjing is so beautiful, anyone who sees her will like her."
Wei Jingjing silently stared at the soft lines of her cheeks, the straight bridge of her nose, and the almond-shaped eyes in the mirror. She looked more like her father than her mother. Her mother had a pointed face and slightly raised phoenix eyes, which seemed a bit mean to others, but in Wei Jingjing's eyes, this was the most beautiful combination in the world. How nice it would be if she could look more like her mother.
"Okay." The maid behind her looked at the bun behind Wei Jingjing with satisfaction, and gently tidied up the hair on her temples, "Finally, put this on." Another maid took out a box from the dressing box, and there were three diamond flower decorations on the black velvet bottom. The maid inserted the diamond flower decorations into Wei Jingjing's bun. Then she took a step back, looked at it carefully, nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "Princess Jingjing, the prince will definitely fall in love with you at first sight."
"Prince?" Wei Jingjing asked.
"Yes." The maid said excitedly, "The noble king and queen specially held a grand ball for Princess Jingjing and invited the prince of the Emerald Kingdom to attend."
Wei Jingjing's eyes fell on the stove opposite, where there was an oil painting. It was of her mother and father. They were standing side by side with smiles on their faces. In her mother's arms was a little baby girl, and that was herself.
"It's really beautiful, Princess Jingjing." The maid pushed her into another room, which was a very spacious cloakroom. "Now let's try on clothes. These clothes are made by the best tailors in the country."
"Yeah." Wei Jingjing nodded and stood in front of the mirror.
The maid took off Wei Jingjing's silk pajamas and held up a pearl-grey satin dress. Wei Jingjing stared at the dress, which had a long puffy skirt and wide sleeves with delicate lace. The satin was hand-embroidered with star-shaped pearls. The whole dress looked beautiful and expensive, like something a princess would wear in a movie .
"Wow..." Wei Jingjing took a breath. This was really beautiful.
"When you put it on, you will be a real princess." said the maid proudly.
At this moment, a loud bang came from the sky.
Wei Jingjing looked out the window curiously. The weather was clear, but the sky was filled with the sound of thunder.
She thought there was a cloud in the sky that looked like a cat.
The maid urged: "Put it on quickly!"
She looked out the window again and the cat-like cloud was blown away by the wind.
…
…
Xiao Zhen was drying himself with a heater. Captain Ban was pushing a plastic yellow duck in the swimming pool to entertain the cats and bugs.
Mr. Cat, who was squatting next to the incubator, was flung out like a cannonball, drawing an arc in the air and falling directly into the swimming pool.
A splash of water more than one meter high rose up, soaking Xiaozhen all over again.
Well, that’s how I was thrown into the pool just now.
A series of bubbles appeared on the rippling water surface. Mr. Cat floated up and cursed: "Why the hell did you dig a swimming pool in the laboratory!!!"
"...Look, you were expelled too!"
When Mr. Cat, the wet cat, regained his composure, he expressed his opinion: "As you said, it is indeed very strange."
"Yeah."
"Put aside your words, no mortal can resist my detection, but now I am forcibly ejected. This goes beyond the limitations of an ordinary mortal."
Xiao Zhen asked, "What do you mean?"
"Some other external force." Mr. Cat looked at the sleeping Wei Jingjing, "This human woman is being interfered with by some external force we don't know about."
"What is that?"
The room fell into silence. Xiao Zhen knew that Mr. Cat's detection ability was superior to his, but even it was bounced out so easily. There must be something wrong.
The girl was sleeping, and the life support equipment connected to her was flashing various values. Her body was now horrifyingly incomplete. This kind of wounded limbs should have been repaired more than a month ago. This experience would only leave the girl with a vague dream, and then she would start her life again like any other girl of her age.
But now, she was lost in this unknown dream.
"You mean, it's not that she's rejecting us."
"I need some time to investigate the cause of this." Mr. Cat's paw left the incubator, causing ripples in the instrument pipelines in the water.
A picture appeared in front of Mr. Cat, and Xiao Zhen recognized that it was the corridor where he had just tried to invade Wei Jingjing's dream.
At the end of the dark corridor was a tightly closed door.
"You should be seeing the same thing as I am."
"That's right."
“This looks like a commercial office building.”
"The human subconscious rarely creates things out of thin air. This scene should be constructed based on the building she once visited. The time point should be before she was decomposed by Popo."
Mr. Cat raised his paw and pointed to a corner of the screen, "Look here."
There was a small piece of paper stuck on a door handle next to the corridor. Mr. Cat enlarged the image and found it was a business card with the following words:
【Jinfeiteng Warehousing System Co., Ltd., Sales Engineer Zeng Liangcai】
"A business card." Xiao Zhen said, "This corridor is the entrance formed by Wei Jingjing's messy and useless subconscious. The information she sees unconsciously will be retained, which means that she has seen this business card before."
"Zeng Liangcai." Mr. Cat was silent for a few seconds. Xiaozhen knew that it was searching for information about the salesperson named Zeng Liangcai.
"Zeng Liangcai is an alien." Mr. Cat said, "This person has registered his immigration information."
"How many aliens are there on this planet?!"
"Zeng Liangcai, a native of Daslin, has no record of breaking the law in the interstellar space." Mr. Cat looked up at the encrypted channel that only he could watch, "but he was criticized and educated in Laura for violating the local public security management regulations."
"Violation of public security regulations?" Xiao Zhen asked in surprise, "What did this person do?"
"The noise was disturbing. He doesn't look dangerous."
"Is the noise disturbing the people?" Xiao Zhen said, "If I remember correctly, the Daslinians are a well-known fighting race. Their past empire once destroyed hundreds of intelligent civilizations."
"That empire was destroyed thousands of years ago. Daslinai was destroyed by a supernova explosion, and most of the Daslinai people died in the catastrophe. There are very few Daslinai people left now, and I didn't expect there are still some on this planet."
"They are a very dangerous fighting race."
"There is no other record in the current registration information except for noise nuisance."
"I've read the Galaxy News. There was once an out-of-control Dasline who used a planet's orbital period to massacre all the intelligent life on a planet. Do you think this is really okay?"
Mr. Cat said calmly, "This Zeng Liangcai has been under the surveillance of the Eye of Supervision. His safety rating has always been excellent. He has no criminal record in the past. The only crime he committed on this planet was disturbing the public with noise. He is different from a certain criminal who occupied the body of an underage Homo sapiens as soon as he arrived on this planet."
"Could Wei Jingjing's deep sleep be related to this person?"
"Although the Daslinians are powerful, they are purely physical and rarely get involved in spiritual events. I don't think Zeng Liangcai is the one who caused Wei Jingjing to fall into a deep sleep. What are you looking at? Okay." Mr. Cat said, "I'll give you the address, and you can go directly to Zeng Liangcai to ask. By the way, if you cause any trouble, please take care of it."
Xiao Zhen took the address given to him by Mr. Cat and went directly to Zeng Liangcai's residence.
…
Zeng Liangcai lived in a residential . The other party's business card said he was a sales engineer. He thought Zeng Liangcai would be a listless male office worker like Ma Jingshi, and because the other party was a well-known fighting race, he might also be a muscular fitness coach in the gym.
The Daslinai, a crazy fighting race that once shocked the galaxy in the past and whose reputation was no less than that of the Nansai people, might be able to arouse the anger of this race known for its ferocity. Xiao Zhen didn't believe Mr. Cat's nonsense. He took a breath and knocked on the door. He was ready for a fight.
But when the door opened, a young girl with brown curly hair appeared behind it. She looked to be in her early twenties, petite, with fluffy curly hair and a fair and rosy face, like a cute doll in the store.
"Zeng Liangcai?" Xiao Zhen asked tentatively.
"It's me." The girl's voice was very sweet.
"Uh, I'm an investigator from the Eye of Supervision." Xiao Zhen introduced herself.
"The Eye of Supervision? You look so young." Zeng Liangcai looked at him in surprise, "Are you from the Eye of Supervision?"
"Yes." Xiao Zhen nodded. Unlike what Xiao Zhen imagined, the reaction of the people in Daslin was different from what he imagined. Zeng Liangcai pulled him into the house with some excitement and joy, "Come in, come in."
"Have you seen her?" Xiaozhen took out Wei Jingjing's photo. Zeng Liangcai took a look and said that maybe she had seen her, maybe not, and she didn't have any impression. To her, the girl in the photo was just a passerby who passed by on the road.
She didn't lie. Xiao Zhen thought to herself that this kind of sudden response with shallow consciousness couldn't lie.
Xiao Zhen chatted with her for a few more sentences. Whether through consciousness exploration or chatting, she found that she had no impression of Wei Jingjing at all, so she planned to turn around and leave.
At this time, Zeng Liangcai asked with sparkling eyes: "Excuse me, your Eye of Supervision is the guardian who maintains the order of the galaxy, right?"
"Uh. Yeah." But I'm just a contractor.
Zeng Liangcai grabbed Xiaozhen's hand and said, "Can the Eye of Supervision help me solve the problem of my race's reproduction? Please, I want a wife!"
"Ah?" Xiao Zhen felt that there was something wrong with her ears.
"First, my gender is male. Second, I want a wife," Zeng Liangcai said, "otherwise my race will be extinct."
