Chapter 57: Occupation
Hearing Lei’s father’s words, Nuonuo just shook his little head, the two tufts of hair on his head swaying from side to side. “No… no, ya.”
Lei’s mother, watching from the side, really couldn’t resist. She reached out and hugged the soft little dumpling. “Old Lei, don’t ask him. Nuonuo is so small, what if you scare him?”
Lei’s father was also anxious. He scratched the back of his head and couldn’t help but cough a couple of times. “I was just a little anxious. But don’t worry, Uncle Gu. Although we Lei family are straightforward, we won’t let others step on our heads. I’ll investigate properly later. It must be some kid who has a grudge against Little Ze and took the opportunity to do something bad while you weren’t home!”
Grandpa Gu felt a mouthful of old blood stuck in his chest. If he hadn’t taken two deep breaths, he was afraid he would have coughed it up. “Hehe, Little Ze and I were in a hurry when we went out. Only Nuonuo was left at home. When we came back, Nuonuo was still standing at the bedroom door…”
Unable to stand it anymore, Grandpa Gu fanned the flames on the side, hinting that their suspect should be Nuonuo. He didn’t believe that this fire wouldn’t burn Fei Nuo’s body today?!
Lei’s mother let out a couple of “aiyo”s in response. She held Nuonuo, who was sitting on her lap, and couldn’t help but rub his fluffy little head. “That’s so dangerous. Nuonuo was there alone. What if that bad kid wanted to bully him? What would we do!”
Gu Ze, standing to the side, heard Lei’s mother’s words and his heart subconsciously panicked. He shouldn’t have left Nuonuo alone, Gu Ze thought. Nuonuo is timid and must have been scared.
Nuonuo was holding the chocolate Lei’s mother had given him, his little tongue licking it until it was all black. A circle of chocolate was also stuck to his cherry-pink little mouth. Hearing his name, he even looked up and smiled at Lei’s mother. “Sweet, sweet. Auntie, you eat too!”
Holding the chocolate up to Auntie Lei, Nuonuo’s eyes were clear and bright, as if they were sprinkled with little stars, which made Lei’s mother’s heart melt. “Auntie Lei won’t eat. Our Nuonuo can eat. Don’t share it with that boy Lei Yan!”
Seeing Lei Xiaoyan reaching out his chubby hand to snatch Nuonuo’s chocolate, Lei’s mother shouted at him sharply and slapped his hand away. “Go to the side! How can you snatch your little brother’s chocolate?! Lei Xiaoyan, you’re already three years old. You can’t be so reckless anymore!”
When Lei’s mother was pregnant with Lei Xiaoyan, she had hoped to give birth to a pink and tender little doll, with snow-white and translucent skin, and big, round grape-like eyes, which would make her heart feel sweet just by looking at him. But in the end, out popped Lei Xiaoyan, who got fatter and fatter, and whose wails could be heard throughout the entire hospital ward when he was just a few dozen days old. He was practically a carbon copy of Lei’s father.
Lei’s mother’s heart was completely dead. She had raised Lei Xiaoyan in a free-range style until he was three.
Until today, when she saw Nuonuo, she finally knew that there really was someone who looked just like the son she had imagined! And so, looking left and right, Lei’s mother couldn’t help but find Lei Xiaoyan extremely unpleasant to the eye.
Lei Xiaoyan was used to being disliked by his own mother and wasn’t very sad. Instead, he continued to stare at the chocolate in Nuonuo’s hand with pleading eyes, drooling as he said, “Nuonuo, can you share a little with me? How about… how about I recognize you as my big brother too!”
For a bite of chocolate, Lei Xiaoyan sold himself very decisively.
But Zhou Xiaole disagreed, thinking to himself that his big brother had him as a little brother, and that was enough! And so, the two of them, one pulling the other, ran to the side to have a showdown.
Nuonuo was still holding the chocolate, his little eyes looking at the two of them in confusion. He stuck out his little tongue and inadvertently licked the chocolate sauce on the side of his mouth, and then his eyes crinkled with pleasure. Chocolate is sweet and so delicious.
After candy, Nuonuo had another favorite little snack.
006, seeing this, had already sensed that something was not right. That Grandpa Gu, why does he look so strange? The meaning behind his words seems to be saying that Nuonuo did something bad.
Although he and Nuonuo were indeed going to do something bad, they hadn’t even succeeded!
At this thought, 006 was suddenly startled, thinking to itself, Could this be a frame-up?! But why…
006 suddenly thought of Wen Yuan, that reborn person. Instantly, the way it looked at Grandpa Gu changed. This Grandpa Gu, could there be something wrong with him too?
And at this moment, Grandpa Gu took a deep breath. Seeing Lei’s father and Lei’s mother playing with Nuonuo, their eyes filled with affection and pity, his anger once again welled up in his chest, on the verge of exploding.
But when he looked down, he saw his own grandson, Gu Ze, also with his little head lowered, as if he were blaming himself for not protecting Nuonuo well.
Grandpa Gu was almost so angry he rolled his eyes. Are these people’s IQs all zero?
But the current situation didn’t allow him to say much. These people were clearly biased towards this Fei Nuo. If he said any more, it would only arouse suspicion.
Grandpa Gu looked at Fei Nuo with deep eyes, thinking to himself, This little dumpling is quite good at winning people’s hearts!
But it was okay. The more innocent he looked now, the greater the blow to Gu Ze when his true colors were revealed! Perhaps among these villains, the first to be eliminated by the male lead would be this little merman!
Grandpa Gu let out a contemptuous snort, put on a show of sighing, and after thanking Mr. and Mrs. Lei, he took Gu Ze and went back.
Nuonuo and Zhou Xiaole also followed. Lei’s mother was extremely reluctant to let go of Nuonuo’s hand and saw them off to the villa courtyard gate, repeatedly reminding him, “Nuonuo, come and play with my Xiaoyan when you have time. Auntie Lei has a lot of chocolate at home, all saved for you to eat.”
Nuonuo let out a small “wow,” blinked his eyes, and nodded his little head repeatedly. “Thank you, Auntie. I will come back!”
Gu Ze held Nuonuo’s other hand and was about to invite him to his house for dinner when he saw Auntie Wu coming over. “Aiyo, Nuonuo is here. I’ve been looking for you. Quick, let’s go home and eat!”
The moment Nuonuo heard it was time to eat, he quickly followed Auntie Wu and ran off.
Today’s lunch was blanched shrimp, braised eggplant, and stir-fried choy sum. Because there was no one else at home for lunch, the chef hadn’t made that many dishes.
Nuonuo was placed in his baby chair by Auntie Wu. He looked around and tilted his little head up in confusion. “Brother isn’t here, ya?”
Usually, no matter how busy the others were, Fei Luo would come home from school for lunch. But today, Fei Luo’s seat was empty, and there wasn’t even his little bowl and chopsticks.
Auntie Wu touched Nuonuo’s head and answered, “Little Luo has his mid-term exams these two days. He’s short on time at noon and can’t come back.”
For the past two days, Fei Luo had had his meals delivered by the driver and would eat in the school’s small cafeteria before preparing for the afternoon exams.
Hearing this, Nuonuo couldn’t help but lower his little head in disappointment. The tuft of hair on his head, which was usually sticking up high, now drooped listlessly.
In a bad mood, Nuonuo only ate half a bowl of rice today and then ran to the living room, propping his little face in his hands in a daze.
006 finally sensed the problem at this moment and spoke up very seriously. “Nuonuo, there’s something wrong with that Grandpa Gu!”
Nuonuo was just spacing out, his little head empty. Hearing 006’s words, he let out a little “ya” and tilted his head. “There’s a problem, ya?”
“Yes! The energy I detected in the bedroom just now is exactly the same as the one on him!”
006 was not as shrewd as Fei Zhiyan and the others. It wasn’t until Grandpa Gu revealed his true colors that he realized that there seemed to be another type of person in this world!
When he first came to this world to do his mission, 006 knew that this world’s level was not low. The villains and the protagonist were all a group of people with special energy. If he were not careful, he might be discovered and attacked by them.
So at the beginning, 006 was almost always on guard against Fei Zhiyan and the others. After all, in terms of danger, no one was more dangerous than these villains who had almost destroyed the world!
But he never expected that transmigrators would quietly enter this world! And there was also Wen Yuan, this reborn person. When 006 discovered these things, it felt as if its motherboard were about to burn up from the excessive processing speed.
006 even felt that this world shouldn’t be S-level, but S+!
He was extremely anxious and once again submitted a report to the headquarters, but the result was still like a stone sinking into the sea.
“Then… then what should we do, ya?”
Nuonuo didn’t quite understand what 006 was saying and asked with his dazed little eyes.
006 sighed. “I don’t know either. These transmigrators seem to have come with some kind of purpose…”
And this purpose was very likely related to the villains.
Not finishing the last half of the sentence, 006 was silent for a long while before it managed to cheer up and comfort Nuonuo. “But it’s okay. Since those people transmigrated here, there will definitely be restrictions. It’s impossible for them to be completely without scruples.”
Traveling through time and space required a huge amount of energy. When 006 brought Nuonuo back from the interstellar era, it had almost used up all its energy, and at first, it could barely even turn on.
And the reason Nuonuo could integrate into this world so quickly after arriving was because he was supposed to be a person of this world in the first place.
But those transmigrators were different. They didn’t belong here, and the world’s will would subconsciously reject them, driving them away.
So what 006 couldn’t figure out was why those transmigrators weren’t being rejected by the world’s will.
It can’t be that they didn’t physically transmigrate, right?
Thinking of a certain possibility, 006’s rapidly operating chip subconsciously turned cold.
If that’s really the case, then aren’t these transmigrators illegally invading?!
Occupying someone else’s body, the original consciousness of that body would be directly squeezed out by them until the consciousness had no body to carry it and dissipated into the air.
Which was death in the true sense of the word.
At this thought, 006 felt its core program go into chaos, both nervous and anxious.
This world is really so dangerous!
How could a junior system like him be sent to do such a difficult mission!
Generally speaking, in one world, there would be at most one task-doer. After all, there were thousands of worlds, and these worlds had countless branch small worlds. Their system’s tasks were also random, and the probability of encountering one was probably one in a billion.
And this world had suddenly been flooded with so many transmigrators. Although 006 didn’t know if they all carried systems, it was estimated that it could already be included in a special teaching case.
This is just making things difficult for a system!
006 thought sadly.
And Nuonuo, who was continuing to daze with his little face in his hands, would occasionally turn his little head to see if his brother had returned.
Finally, under Nuonuo’s hopeful counting on his little fingers, the roar of a motorcycle came from the doorway.
Fei Han, holding his helmet, walked in with a cold aura.
