Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

Li Shen took a book on cytology from the medical bookshelf in his office.

Xia Jiumeng didn't want to go back. She wasn't working now, and it would be annoying to go home and face a bunch of glasses.

"Well, I'm free today. How about I wait for you to get off work?"

Li Shen paused in flipping through the book and looked at her calmly.

"It's a long time."

"It's okay. If you don't mind, I'll wait for you in your office."

Xia Jiumeng glanced around the office. It was worthy of being the chief physician's office. It was spacious and bright, exquisitely decorated, and even had a single rest room.

Since she said so, Li Shen couldn't refuse and could only nod.

His eyes returned from her to the book.

Xia Jiumeng shook her head helplessly. This man seemed really cold on the surface. If she didn't know his true character, she might have been persuaded to give up.

She is not the type to give in to cold reception.

But you say he doesn't care. He has an operation in the afternoon, but instead of taking this time to rest and relax, he is studying her test report and even wants to review cytology.

You say he cares about her, but he just ignores her like she's a grown-up.

Eh.

Difficult.

She had to break the ice in him.

The two of them were silent, and the office suddenly became quiet, with only the occasional sound of flipping books and...games.

Although the sound was not loud, it still seemed very abrupt in the quiet environment. Li Shen, who usually liked quietness, adapted well today and flipped through the book.

"Snapped."

Xia Jiumeng put her phone on the sofa in annoyance.

"?"

"It's okay." Xia Jiumeng felt his inquiring gaze and replied somewhat unhappily.

Something is wrong. She is so annoyed. All the games in this world are casual puzzle games. She wants to play a combat game!

She searched the game store but couldn't find a single combat game. The only two she could find were couple-themed mobile battle games. How could she play this game alone? How could she play it?

"If games aren't fun, why not read a book?"

Li Shen walked up to her at some point and handed her a book.

"100 Questions About Daily Health?"

Xia Jiumeng looked at the books in front of her with shame. She thought the mini-games were quite fun...

She seemed to have no chance of living such a comfortable life. In her original world, she was fighting every day. She was lucky to be alive and didn't seem to care about her health.

At that time, all she cared about was the safety of the front line, because she didn't want to see the Zerg wreak havoc and cause great suffering to the people.

Now, her identity is a hunter, and her future is destined to be bumpy and dangerous.

Just being alive is the best.

"Thank you..." But she still took the book honestly.

Think of a way to build the holographic warehouse first.

Whether it is for subsequent experiments or other purposes, the holographic world is still very necessary. As for the second world, it requires a huge main brain to assist in its operation, which is not possible for the time being.

However, we can still try to create a holographic world in a small area.

"Doctor Li, the operating room is ready."

Guan Xuan knocked on the office door and walked in. He was a little surprised when he saw Xia Jiumeng.

"What are you doing?"

"I'll wait for Dr. Li to get off work." Xia Jiumeng grinned.

Guan Xuan's eyes lingered between the two of them strangely.

When will Dr. Li and Miss Xia...

"Let's go."

While he was still confused, Li Shen had already changed his clothes.

"If you're tired, you can go to the rest room. The door is not locked."

Li Shen suddenly spoke when passing by Xia Jiumeng.

"Huh? Okay."

"Click."

The office door closed again, and now Xia Jiumeng was the only one left.

She put the books Li Shen gave her back on the bookshelf and continued playing with her phone.

But this time he didn't play games, but went to the black market on the dark web to browse.

She planned to renovate her study to see if there was anything interesting.

I found a small shop and customized some signal isolation equipment, some thick iron walls with high hardness, and some small hot melt and multi-functional production tables.

Compared to the rigorous laboratory, she actually prefers a place with a relaxed environment.

She had done a lot of her previous research at her workbench at home =-=.

Thinking that Li Shen was going to her house in the evening, she had to be honest anyway. It would be better to do it today than to wait for another day. She might as well blow up the house today and then redecorate it.

Otherwise, having those little gadgets at home would make it inconvenient for her to do anything.

"Tsk, how am I going to explain it to him tonight?" Xia Jiumeng looked at the ceiling with a headache.

These men must know her secret, but they only know the secret of the progress of this world. They definitely don’t know her real secret, but because of the special circumstances, she can’t tell it now.

I can't explain it too clearly, but I still want Li Shen to believe it. It's really difficult.

After thinking for a long time, she decided to use the same explanation she gave to Qin Che.

As for the extra memories in my mind, I don’t know where they came from.

I'll tell you later when I know.

"Ok, deal."

It's just an extra memory, and it won't do her any other harm.

And Li Shen should be able to understand this feeling, after all, he seems to have the same problem.

"I feel a little sleepy after relaxing~"

Xia Jiumeng yawned and looked at the clock. It was only two o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still at least six hours left.

Otherwise, go get some sleep.

Xia Jiumeng got up and went to the rest room. The bed in the room was clean and tidy, and it had a wardrobe, a bathroom, and a desk. It was more like a luxurious single room than a rest room.

"The hospital is really rich."

Xia Jiumeng pushed open the wardrobe and found it was empty, with only a few clean white coats hanging there and nothing else.

The bathroom was also simple, with only a set of neatly arranged toiletries.

The bed was made neatly without any wrinkles, and it was obvious that the owner of the room was very fond of cleanliness.

After closing the door of the rest room, Xia Jiumeng took off her coat and went to sleep.

The quilt and pillows are very soft, and do not smell like disinfectant as expected, but rather a light jasmine scent.

In a monitoring room on a small overseas island, the staff on duty looked at a dozen images on a screen and suddenly felt something strange.

Because the scene in the picture has not changed for too long.

Realizing something was wrong, he immediately contacted the people above.

"There seems to be something wrong with U0's surveillance. Come down and take a look!"

The person on the other end of the communication device quickly responded, "Okay, I'll be right down."

U0 is their key research object and no carelessness is allowed.

Four or five researchers in white coats hurried down from upstairs to the monitoring room.

The person in charge of monitoring pointed at a screen, and above it were more than a dozen densely packed surveillance screens.
