NO. 126: What were you originally researching?

"According to this wavelength, I can mark out several ranges for you within a week."

"... A week is too long!"

"I can't help it; why don't you call your net-detective and digital monster friends for help? The network world of your world is so complex, this week is still my estimate while exploring in jet form."

"Wait a moment!"

Xin Tiao Qian said, bending down from the raised light screen, leaning close to Aomo to hear his faint reply, then lifting her head again: "... The useful ones are hard to please, the pleasing ones are useless."

"Then let's just wait, didn't that girl say she'd be patient?" the super agent on the screen shrugged, "This surely isn't something you made up, right?"

"Impossible!" Qian shouted back, then, reacting to the other's gesturing, she bent down to listen again, then lifted her head: "Impossible!"

"I don't think you're lying, so I'll wait patiently; besides, hasn't your roommate brought the medicine yet?"

Jie Si Ti Si was somewhat speechless—not because he thought the girl's effectiveness as a conversation intermediary was lacking, nor did he expect Mr. Lin Dun's roommate's medicine to instantly invigorate the other, but seeing this girl always gave him a subtle sense of dread.

Always being like this makes it somewhat hard to bear.

But that's clearly just a human girl.

Her appearance is even somewhat cute, yet my occasional palpitations are not excitement but fear.

Data……what dangerous existence data is linked to her body… The super agent wanted to know, but also realized it wasn't suitable to ask in person, so he could only wait for a chance to inquire when alone with Aomo.

"I'm not sure either, it was just a matter of going upstairs and downstairs," Qian said, turning to glance at the open, unclosed door, "Probably it's just messy and still being looked for."

Coming from her, that's really convincing, after all Aomo always has to help her tidy up the desk clutter whenever he enters the room.

Although the desk is messy, personal hygiene is still known how to handle.

By the door there's always a tied-up garbage bag waiting for someone to call out when they're about to leave, asking for help to take it.

But Jie Si Ti Si didn't know that, so he just gave an awkward smile and said: "If there's nothing else, I'll take action right away; seeing you're not in good shape, shall we get in touch later?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the girl vanished from the screen again, then popped out: "Sure, you go! Bye~!"

Saying that, she already reached out to press the call end button.

Her speed was already fast; although she once wanted to find the super agent, she learned from Xiao She that his knowledge of the ancient Ultraman was pitifully lacking, so now her hope changed to wanting to meet a super agent who could contact Ultraman.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't want to meet.

Because it would remind her of those so-called "high school students" who made no sense.

Even now, her memory of those guys in suits still leaves no good impression.

But she didn't expect that the other would hang up even faster than she could!

Before her finger could touch the screen, it had already shut completely, leaving her frozen in the motion of poking the screen.

After a few seconds, she suddenly asked Aomo: "Xiao She! Am I scary?"

Clearly, out of face for relaying Xiao She's words, she struggled to appear friendly, even smiling the whole time.

"?"

"He hung up faster than me!"

"Perhaps… he was in a hurry to fulfill his… words."

Aomo was getting increasingly drowsy; in this state, touching the soft bedding made it hard not to fall asleep, especially since Xin Tiao Qian had placed a pillow for him, the mingling scent of shampoo constantly lingering at his nostrils.

It made him suspect whether this person often lies down with wet hair.

Xin Tiao Qian didn't know this person was using his own pillow to diss him; she just nodded: "... Also, those guys in black suits may be strange, but they're indeed this enthusiastic."

They just often get things wrong.

Thinking back to how those guys, along with Yu Tai and Liu Hua, acted when helping—only pitching in a little—both her past and present selves felt they were redundant.

It would be better to just honestly idle with the equipment as is.

"... But Suzi, haven't you found her yet?"

"Here she comes! Here she comes! Here she comes!! Long time no see, Tun Shu Jun~! I heard you asking!!"

The sound of her forcefully stomping the floor drew near, even her slippers striking with the force of horse hooves; in the scene likely to make the Parthians in the living room look up at the stairwell commotion, Ailisuzhi appeared, holding three test tubes clamped in her hand.

Being a horse girl, her hearing is astonishing.

Also being a horse girl, she could easily pull the wooden stopper from the test tube with one hand, then proceed to pour it into Aomo's mouth.

"Eh eh eh! Wait a second, what effects are these? Can they be mixed?!"

The heroic justice figure, Xin Tiao Qian, although she had previously been angrily frustrated with Aomo to no avail, now displayed the decisiveness and swift interception of a high-quality human woman.

She at least studies monsters, and isn't lacking in everyday knowledge; seeing Suzi's three differently colored potions, her past camaraderie and understanding from joint monster research instead made her more resolute in stepping forward.

Precisely because they shared research camaraderie, she knew Suzi's potion functions were as varied and weird as the jelly beans in wizard cartoons, and even random!

Often Suzi herself doesn't know, so she first tricks others into drinking them.

The only thing guaranteed is that the dosage isn't enough to cause injury or illness, and it certainly couldn't be fatal.

Moreover, precisely because she understood the other's nature, Xin Tiao Qian realized Xiao She's state, while seeming urgent, actually wasn't a crisis or major hindrance—thus she couldn't stop Suzi's mischievous heart.

For several days straight she hadn't let her roommate or Xiao She take medicine; she might just be waiting for a big showdown now!

"Strengthen! Health! And repeat vitality!" The three test tubes, each spoken about in a pause, were less an introduction and more like ad-libbed advertising copy; Suzi gave them face by pausing before the two, not using her horse-girl physique to forcefully pour.

She merely shook the test tubes, saying: "Put together they absolutely won't conflict! Their properties simply can't collide."

"Do you always introduce reagents like this?" Xin Tiao Qian reached out, taking the willingly offered test tube from Suzi, her eyes full of doubt.

"How could that be? Normally I don't bother introducing them at all!"

"Just pour it straight into them, right?" Qian asked with a smile, smiling without warmth.

"That sounds a bit like Tun Shu Jun, don't learn the bad from the good, Qian Kun~"

"Do I need to learn this from Xiao She?!" Xin Tiao Qian retorted unhappily, then lowered her gaze to the test tube in her hand and Aomo, then looked at her: "One tube at a time, three tubes down—sure there won't be any problem?"

"What could go wrong? There definitely won't be any conflict!" Suzi said with certainty: "This is a byproduct of my research, far more stable than the original product."

"Then I'll pour it in, Xiao She, can you hear me? Open your mouth."

Aomo had been completely silent, but after a moment of silence, as if thinking of something, he eventually compromised.

Then the scene once became Hei'an; the medicine that was originally fine, because it was directly poured from a test tube, ended up somewhere between 'biochemical transformation' and 'Da Lang taking medicine'.

After the three tubes were nearly exhausted, he pulled out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the other's mouth corner; Xintiao Qian then stood up again, and together with Suzi looked down at the side-lying Aomo: "How does it look ineffective? Your medicine wouldn't just work on the body, would it?"

"Impossible! He will definitely regain his spirit."

"He'll also glow, right?" Qian said softly, her face somewhat subtle.

"Of course, he will still glow." Suzi remained confident, looking at the youth on the bed who was glowing.

The light person opened his eyes and suddenly sat up.

"See, the effect is strong, right?" Suzi said with a satisfied expression.

The light person lay back down on the bed and began to twitch.

"You said there wouldn't be a conflict, right?"

"Impossible, it absolutely cannot be a conflict!"

The light person stopped twitching, but the light on his body began to fade, and his whole outline showed a gradually shrinking shape.

"Oh, it's fusion!"

Ailisuzhi clapped her hands, then pulled out a phone from her white coat and began typing notes.

"Um..." Qian's expression was subtle as she looked at the other's height, which no longer needed her to chase after, and she gestured with her hand.

"Looks pretty good!"

Looking at the shrinking Aomo, she was very satisfied.

It's decided, tomorrow I still need to take leave.
