Restricted fantasy invasion

Chapter 324, Section 321: Actually, he wasn't very sincere.
“Click. Click.”

In the dark void filled with countless centipedes, countless barriers floated in the air.

In that endless abyss or above the sky, a countdown with unclear numbers was slowly ticking away.

The countdown defied the laws of physics, penetrating through layers of buildings and projecting precisely into each barrier, with each barrier displaying a slightly different countdown number.

"Kaka."

And as time passed, the barrier began to shake slightly, like a very slight earthquake.

"What on earth is this countdown? The previous barrier had over 500 hours left, which is over three weeks. This barrier only has over 300 hours left."

Ku Yinggong frowned as he looked at the countdown on the wall and muttered,
"Is it because the flow of time between the barriers is different? If so, we need to find a barrier with the same flow of time as real time to understand what it represents."

Behind him, the petite Sakura Palace was talking to the Sakura Palace in this barrier.

"You mean, when you left the barrier to visit someone, you encountered a monster in the public corridor in the middle of the barrier?"

"Yeah! Really, absolutely!"

The Sakuramiya in front of him still looked like a young lolita, wearing a Gothic-style Lolita dress and holding a Q-version Yan Huan doll in her arms.

At this moment, she looked at the petite Sakuramiya, who was even younger than her, with tears in her eyes, and described what had happened before in a baby voice.

"It was a pitch-black, humanoid monster. It saw me and started chasing me. Luckily, it ran slowly, so I was able to run back to the barrier. So... so scary."

As she spoke, she pitifully hugged the Yan Huan doll in her arms and rubbed its soft fabric, as if this could draw courage from the doll.

Hearing this, the petite Sakura Palace couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"How could a monster get into the barrier?"

"I don't know either. I've already told Sakura about this, and she said she would take care of it."

Behind him, Ku Yinggong turned his eyes away from the countdown, walked over, and said after a "tsk" sound,
“Ever since Sakura Gong came to power, more and more strange things have happened in the barrier!
"There are inexplicable minor earthquakes, meaningless countdowns on the walls, and now there are humanoid monsters in public areas."

Just as the petite Sakuramiya was about to speak, an illusory image suddenly lit up on the wall next to her.

In the picture, Sakuramiya, whose ears seemed smaller than before, appeared and spoke to the camera very seriously.

"Everyone, Sakura Palace, there has been some chaos in the barrier recently, especially in the public areas between the barriers, which are now very dangerous.

"After preliminary investigation, I can confirm that it's probably the barrier left behind by the deceased Perfect Sakura Palace that's causing the trouble!

"During this time, I will quickly locate the barrier and resolve these disturbances. Before I officially notify you, please do not leave your barrier and enter the public area. Otherwise, your life may be in danger."

After finishing the business, the self-deprecating Sakura Palace pursed his lips again and then said softly,

"Also, Petite Sakura Palace and Cool Sakura Palace, I know you are now in the barrier of Loli Sakura Palace.
"We may have had some misunderstandings before, but I have already promised the president to find the perfect Sakura Palace barrier and bring Tong back.
“I am sincere!

"So, can we make peace?
"Even if you don't want to, please don't wander outside the barrier anymore. It's really dangerous lately."

After saying all this, the self-deprecating Sakuramiya did not hang up the call in Loli Sakuramiya's room. Instead, she just looked at the screen quietly, as if waiting for their answer.

"Tsk, I forgot, she can now monitor the status of all barriers at any time."

Ku Ying Gong snorted lightly and said this with his hands folded.

The petite Sakuramiya flew onto her shoulder and whispered to her,
"Do you think what she said is true?"

Ku Yinggong didn't answer her, but just looked at the self-deprecating Yinggong and asked directly,

"You said you promised Yan Huan that you would bring Tong back. Well, we will help. You use your method to find her, and I'll use ours.

"Let me ask you one question. If we find the Perfect Sakura Palace's barrier before the High Table Dinner, learn of Tong's whereabouts, and tell Yan Huan...
"Will you voluntarily give up the opportunity to dance with Yan Huan?"

Hearing this, the self-deprecating Sakura Palace was slightly startled.

The next second, she did not answer the question, but pursed her lips and said,
"You must remember to be safe."

After saying that, he closed the video call screen.

In an instant, Loli Sakuramiya's room returned to silence.

Petite Sakura looked at Cool Sakura blankly, while Cool Sakura spread his hands and shook his head.

"Look, I'm not really sincere."

"."

For a moment, the petite Sakuramiya didn't know how to complain about this matter, so she could only sigh and say,
"But now she can monitor the barrier, and there seems to be some monster in the public area. We don't even know how to contact Yan Huan, let alone find the perfect Sakura Palace barrier."

"."

Seeing her like this, Ku Yinggong turned around and greeted Loli Yinggong, then turned around and opened the door of the barrier.

"Om~"

Now, the public area outside the barrier has been constructed by Sakura Palace into an endless dark corridor, like a maze.

Previously, Ku Yinggong and Jiao Xiao Yinggong wandered around for a long time before they roughly figured out the current distribution of the barrier.

Just when I was looking for a barrier to rest my feet, I encountered the barrier countdown and the phone call with the self-deprecating Sakuramiya.

Now, after leaving the barrier again, Ku Yinggong spoke,
"I don't know how to find the perfect Sakura Palace barrier, but I do have an idea of ​​how to contact the president."

"You know? But there are only a few barriers in Linmen. If Yinggong doesn't want us to find Yan Huan, he will definitely guard it tightly."

"Who said we were going to those barriers?"

Ku Yinggong snorted and raised a finger.
"Have you forgotten that there is a camera in the president's bedroom that can be used for phone calls?"

The petite Sakuramiya's eyes narrowed, obviously she had thought of this as well.

"That's true! So, we just need to find another camera of Sakura Palace and arrange a meeting with the president at a fixed barrier!"

After hearing Ku Yinggong's reminder, the petite Yinggong instantly understood Ku Yinggong's idea.

"No barrier will reject the president. As long as the president enters the barrier, we will be able to see him no matter what!"

"That's it!"

Ku Yinggong laughed, took off his headphones and said softly,

"When I was in Mom's Sakura Palace barrier, I happened to have hidden a camera in a place only I knew. So, now we just need to go there and get it!"

"okay!"

The petite Sakuramiya laughed and raised her little hands, which flew over her head.

But just as she sat down, she suddenly remembered something and lowered her head to ask,
"Yeah, but how could you hide a camera like that of a cool Sakura-kun?"

"what?"

Hearing this, Ku Yinggong's expression froze slightly.

The next second, her face flushed red, she grabbed the petite Sakuramiya on her head in her hand, and said in panic,
"Of course it's for backup! To deal with emergencies like this! Do you think I would secretly use it to spy on the president?
"I am not that kind of person! Humph!"

Sure enough, in a hurry she would say "President" instead of "Yan Huan"
The petite Sakura Palace was dizzy from her shaking, so she had to change her words.

"I know, I know!"

"tread"

But just as they were playing, the sound of light footsteps suddenly came from the deep and dark corridor.

The two people's expressions froze instantly, and they even turned around and looked in two different directions of the corridor with sweat on their foreheads.

But no matter which side, it was empty and silent.

"goo"

Cool Sakura Palace and Petite Sakura Palace swallowed their saliva, then both put on forced smiles.
"Sure enough, it's just an auditory hallucination, right?"

"Yeah, yes!"

"Yes."

But the next second, the two of them couldn't even keep up their forced smiles until they turned completely pale.

Because, right above their heads, a hoarse voice sounded intermittently.
What he said were exactly the last two words that the petite Sakuramiya said.

The two of them looked up blankly and saw a dark human figure clinging to the ceiling like a spider.

The human figure was completely black, and it remained so even in the dim light, like a materialized shadow of a person.

Her limbs were twisted, and her long black hair hung down along with her twisted head.

She seemed to have no facial features other than her mouth, which made her look particularly creepy.

“Wuuuuuuuuuuu!! What is that thing!!!”

The petite Sakuramiya was almost scared to death by that thing and immediately screamed.

"The hidden camera isn't far from here! Run!"

And Ku Sakuramiya also reacted very quickly, picking up the petite Sakuramiya and running away.

"Snapped!"

On the ceiling, the figure suddenly fell to the ground, but just as Loli Sakuramiya said, she crawled very slowly, as if she was a baby who couldn't walk, and could only roar in a hoarse voice on the spot.

"Run."

In the darkness, the twisted figure on the ground just watched the two of them running farther and farther away.

She didn't chase after him, but after a short while, the ends of the figure's black hair began to subtly turn a cherry blossom pink. "..."

Cool Sakuramiya and Petite Sakuramiya were so focused on running that they didn't notice that on the ceiling where they were escaping, there was a figure lurking in the darkness at regular intervals.

But they just stayed quietly in the dark, not moving.

But just like the figure falling to the ground, a hint of cherry color gradually appeared at the end of his black hair.

That night, in the South District, Yan Huan’s rental house.

"Click~"

"I'm back."

The door slowly opened, revealing Yan Huanlai outside.

He visited the new AI department of Ye International for a while. Although it was where he was going to intern during the summer, there was no one else there in the evening, and the secretary in charge of administrative work couldn't say much, so he just downloaded a demo version of the AI ​​software for the two of them to try out and give them feedback.

As a result, as soon as Ye Shiyu plugged the data cable into the computer, the computer started to freeze.

After finally downloading the software to her phone, it seemed like her phone was incompatible with the system and couldn't run it at all.
I don’t know if it was the hypnosis software that gave the AI ​​a severe beating in cyberspace, but Yan Huan gave it a try anyway.

It turned out that there was still a big gap between this software and the AI ​​of the previous life.

Although the AI ​​in the previous life could not be considered as real intelligence, and was essentially just a "black box" with powerful processing capabilities, this thing from Ye International is even more exaggerated, like an artificial idiot, and is not as good as Aria's previous "real artificial intelligence".

So after getting a general understanding of the situation, there was nothing else to do. Yan Huan politely declined Ye Shiyu's idea of ​​having him stay overnight in Jinghe District. He took a taxi and walked for a long time back to the South District.

Because he knew:

There is someone waiting for him at home.

"Xiao Huan, you're back"

In the living room, Anle was sitting at the coffee table drawing on a digital tablet.

As soon as he heard the door open, he smiled and walked towards Yan Huan.

But Yan Huan walked straight towards An Le without saying a word, hugged her, pressed her against the wall and kissed her.
"Hmm."

Anle's body trembled slightly, but after a brief moment of surprise, she took the initiative to hold Yan Huan's back.
Because her legs were numb from Yan Huan's kisses, and Lian Zhan couldn't even stand.

"."

On the way back to the South District, Yan Huan was sitting in the online car-hailing vehicle and thinking about how to make up for not telling Anle the truth today.

Should we lay the groundwork on the plane first?
Send a few messages saying you're on your way home and bring her a little gift?

Or should I go back home and explain things to Anle seriously, and then express my sincere apology?

After thinking about it, Yan Huan still felt that it was not appropriate.

So, just walk in without saying a word and choose the most effective way!
"Woo Xiao Huan"

After the kiss, Anle's face was slightly red and she was still gasping for breath, but Yan Huan had already picked her up by the waist and turned to walk towards the bedroom.

Anle leaned on his shoulder with a dazed look in her eyes, and gently kissed his neck and jawline.
"Boom~"

In the living room, Xiaozhizhi, who was originally watching a TV series, was calm. He just heard the sound of someone falling on the bed, rolled his eyes, and then jumped off the coffee table.

He skillfully jumped onto the door handle and closed the bedroom door. After a little soundproofing, he jumped back onto the coffee table, spitting out his tongue.

It stretched its tail slightly, took the remote control from the sofa, turned up the volume a little, and then continued watching the show contentedly.

"Meow"

At this moment, a fat black cat appeared and jumped onto the coffee table, then started watching TV with its hands in its pockets.

"."

However, after watching for two seconds, its face changed and it turned to look at the little finger beside it, and cursed,

"It's already episode 26, meow!? Didn't we only get to episode 23 before?! You were peeking behind my back!!"

Hearing this, Little Finger laughed and didn't even bother to look at it.
"Who told your Yan Huan to go out on a date? We agreed to start watching the movie at 7:30 sharp. If she doesn't come back, you can blame Yan Huan."

"Damn it, meow! Switch her back! I haven't seen what happened when she returned to the palace, meow!!"

"No. But I can tell you what happened in these two episodes."

"I don't want you to spoil the story, you despicable modifier, turn it back, meow!"

"don't want!"

"what!!"

Hakisennin, Hakisenjutsu, Phantom Breath Jutsu, activate!!
At this moment, the room was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

".Sorry, I should have told you the truth today, Anle."

"Uh-huh. Okay. Okay. I'm not angry."

"Ok?"

"woo"

"Do you accept the apology?"

"Um"

"Accepted?"

"Yeah, but Xiao Huan. There."

"Want to take a break?"

"don't want."

"it is good"

"Well"

After a long silence, Anle's soft voice sounded in the darkness.

"Xiao Huan, although I know Xiao Huan is trying to fix the modifier, I still want Xiao Huan to tell me directly. I think it would be very happy."

"Yeah, I promise."

"I know everything. Whether it's Ye Shiyu, Bai Yi, or even Vice President Ying Gong, who's in the most serious situation right now, they all need Xiao Huan's help."

"Shh Anle, don't say anything and continue kissing, okay?"

"woo"

Yan Huan couldn't bear to see her talking about other girls, so he interrupted her.

"President."

"Wu Xiaohuan"

"President."

"Hmm? Anle, why did you suddenly want to call me president?"

Yan Huan's words were a bit passionate, and there was always a feeling of cosplay.

"Hey? I-I don't have any."

But Anle, who was usually very cooperative, became inexplicably confused at this moment.

"Huh? Is this true? But I clearly heard it."

"It's not fake. I... I think I heard Vice President Sakuramiya's voice too."

"."

In the darkness, Yan Huan suddenly raised his head.

Then, he seemed to realize something and quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the computer desk.

There, in the darkness, a camera with its back to the wall, the camera turned off and only with voice call function was still connected to the computer.

She had opened it when Sakura Gong came home before, but forgot to turn it off.

Yan Huan didn't know that the Sakura Palace had been open and always thought it was closed.

but now.
"President! Are you there? It seems like you're online over there."

The petite Sakuramiya's anxious voice was heard through the camera, sounding particularly harsh in the room where both of them were no longer breathing but holding their breath.

"."

An Le held the quilt to cover his body in a daze, then stood up slightly, looked at Yan Huan's computer desk, and then asked in confusion,

"Why is Vice President Sakuramiya's voice here?"

"."

Anle didn't know that Yan Huan brought the camera back to the house while she was away.
Naturally, he had no idea that Sakura Palace had ever been here.
