Then let the witch offer her loyalty

Cold...

Shaking...

The sound of gurgling liquid echoed in my ears, and I could faintly hear people shouting.

When they regained consciousness and opened their eyes again, they saw the pale blue nutrient solution enveloping them, and the expectant faces of the people outside the life support pod.

"They're awake!"

The liquid in the life support chamber was slowly drained, and the three hunters who participated in the cube resonance collapsed to the ground because they were unable to adapt to the natural gravity due to being in a liquid suspension environment for a long time.

Medical staff quickly came over, dressed the three people, and lifted them into wheelchairs.

Yang Jie was also present, his face beaming with excitement: "You actually achieved resonance in one go! Well done! Truly well done!"

"...Huh? Alexander, are you crying?"

Alexander was slumped in his wheelchair, his face covered in wet patches. Everyone initially thought it was leftover nutrient solution, but later discovered it was actually tears that kept overflowing.

"Wow... This is so amazing... Captain Yang... Chief Designer Deng and those scientists are truly incredible... Humanity in the Resonance World is truly incredible..."

Yang Jie had no idea what he was talking about, but he must have been too immersed in the role, so he said earnestly, "I've already told you, everything you experienced was fake, so why are you still crying like this... Go quickly, go wipe Alexander's tears."

Alexander pushed the medical staff's hands away with his head, crying as he said, "Leave me alone! I've finally gotten into the mood, let me be moved for a little while longer... Also, can you pronounce my name correctly? I've already told you, my name isn't Alexander, it's Ai Zhongguo!"

Seeing that Alexander had regained his spirits, Yang Jie felt relieved. He looked at Chen Moxin and nodded approvingly: "Hmm, this reaction is much more normal."

At this moment, Alexander openly wept.

Lei Lie was also secretly wiping away tears.

Only Chen Moxin remained calm. He was like a perfect actor, knowing where he was on set and where he was off set, able to get into character at any time and also get out of character at any time.

Then Wei Lai jogged over, holding a bottle of pale white liquid. She opened the bottle and smiled ingratiatingly at Chen Moxin, saying, "Boss, you've worked hard. I brought you some mineral water that I specially made. You've been soaking in the nutrient capsule for so long, so drink some first to let your stomach adjust."

Chen Moxin gulped down the water, looking very satisfied; the specially made drink must have tasted good.

Alexander, his mouth watering at the sight of it, stopped crying and said with an embarrassed smile, "Chief Engineer, could you get me a bottle?"

She wouldn't even look at him directly in the future: "There's some on that table over there, go get it yourself if you want some."

Alexander sat in his wheelchair, staring blankly.

Why are you still discriminating against them?!

After finishing her water, Chen Moxin asked Wei Lai, "We've completed all the resonance tasks, so the resonance is over, right?"

“Yes, it’s over.” Future revealed a mysterious smile, personally pushed Chen Moxin’s wheelchair around, pointed into the distance and said, “Look, that’s your spoils.”

At the top of that enormous resonant instrument, the magnetic field region was undergoing astonishing changes.

The cube suspended there is deforming, the metal surface unfolds from the edges outwards, the original structure shrinks, folds, and embeds itself, eventually transforming into a chip-like shape.

A staff member carefully manipulated the robotic arm to remove the chip from the magnetic field area and handed it to the future.

In the future, he acted nonchalantly, tossing the chip up and down and playing with it: "This is the essence of the cube. Theoretically, it is a chip that is encrypted and packaged using a special process."

"Once the resonance is complete, the cube will decrypt and restore its original appearance."

Chen Moxin immediately became quite interested and asked, "What's recorded in the chip? Can I see it now?"

Chapter 159 I want everything that others have.

Seeing Chen Mo's impatience, Wei Lai smiled and waved his hand: "We can't see it now. We still need to use a supercomputer to compile its data. It will take at least half a month."

Chen Moxin said with some regret, "It's so troublesome, it makes me really want to try it."

In the future, he put the cube chip back into his pocket and chuckled lazily, "Don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as the results are out. You only have one task now: lie in the sanatorium, eat well, sleep well, and enjoy your vacation."

Chen Moxin had been soaking in the nutrient solution for so long that her muscles, lacking the stimulation of gravity, had atrophied and were unable to move.

Moreover, after twenty days of resonance, although his body was not actually involved, the mental exhaustion was real, and he really wanted to rest for a while.

As Chen Moxin was being pushed out by medical staff, Yang Jie suddenly jogged up.

"Chen Moxin..."

"Captain Yang, what's wrong?"

Yang Jie pursed his lips, seemingly finding it difficult to speak, and said dryly, "Well, there's something I need to tell you. First of all, your success in leading the team to complete the resonance mission this time is undoubtedly a great achievement."

"Yeah, right...tsk...sigh...these idiots are too ashamed to speak up themselves, so they make me do it..."

"You pushed things a bit too far this time. Liu Lan and Gu Qiaoqiao's psychological values ​​have both reached the upper limit of the super-danger zone, very close to the explosion point, which has created a great safety hazard."

"According to the regulations, you must submit a detailed report to the court, which must not only describe all the details of your actions in the resonant world, but also explain the necessity of using psychic energy at such a high frequency."

Chen Moxin nodded: "Okay, is there anything else?"

Seeing Chen Moxin's calm demeanor, Yang Jie suddenly realized that this kid seemed to have anticipated this all along.

"You know about Liu Lan and Gu Qiaoqiao's excessive imagination?"

"Of course I know. I keep track of how much mad erosion accumulates in their bodies every time I use my psionic energy."

"So you never worried that the two of them would unilaterally break their spiritual contract in order to protect themselves? Lin Ya and Mu Qing did just that."

“Of course I’m not worried.” Chen Moxin revealed a meaningful smile. “They are my witches.”

...

For the next week, Chen Moxin lived a life of ease in the management bureau's sanatorium, where everything was done for her, and she ate and slept well every day with the help of professional medical staff.

With the help of gradual rehabilitation training, by the second week, Chen Moxin's physical functions had basically recovered and she was able to accept visits.

During this time, Liu Lan and Gu Qiaoqiao's levels of anxiety gradually decreased to a safe range, and they were released from observation. Upon hearing that they could visit Chen Moxin, they immediately submitted their applications and rushed over.

Liu Lan ran faster, and when she arrived at the sanatorium, Chen Moxin was lying on the bed reading a novel on her phone.

Liu Lan reacted strongly, her eyes red as she ran over and hugged Chen Moxin, her huge, sinister face pressing against his and squeezing out a rounded arc.

"Mo Xin, are you alright...? I was so worried about you the other day..."

A short while later, Gu Qiaoqiao also ran in. When she saw Liu Lan hugging Chen Moxin, she couldn't help but show a girlish unease: "I'm sorry, maybe I came at the wrong time..."

Chen Moxin reached out her hand and smiled, "No, you've come at just the right time."

Seeing that Chen Moxin was in good spirits, Gu Qiaoqiao's eyes welled up with tears of joy, and she couldn't help but run over and hug him from the other side: "Little Chen..."

With one arm around each of them, Chen Moxin sighed, "You two have really suffered this time. Being locked up by the judges must have been unpleasant."

Gu Qiaoqiao wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled and shook her head: "No, that's just how the rules are, there's nothing to complain about."

Just then, the sound of running could be heard from the hallway outside the door.

Chen Moxin is very sensitive to footsteps, especially those of familiar people; she can tell who is coming just by listening.

"Liu Lan, I'm a little cold, could you turn the air conditioning up a bit? Qiao Qiao, I'm thirsty, could you get me a bottle of water?"

Both of them responded and released Chen Moxin. One went to adjust the air conditioner, and the other went to get water.

Soon, the sound of running reached the door, and a figure rushed in.

"Brother Chen..." Luo Lingyou saw Chen Moxin as soon as she entered the room, and tears streamed down her face. She ran over and hugged his arm, sobbing, "You're finally back. I was so worried about you."

Chen Mo thought to himself: Huh? I'm going to participate in cube resonance, not on a combat mission, what are you worried about?

"Brother Chen, I've been so scared while you were gone... scared that I'll never see you again..."

Luo Lingyou pouted and tearfully recounted her grievances.

At this moment, Chen Moxin noticed that Liu Lan's expression was a little off.

It's not jealousy or envy.

Rather, it was a look of...being horrified.

It's like I've witnessed something unbelievable; my worldview has been shattered.

Liu Lan pressed her fingers to her temples, a look of self-doubt on her face, and muttered under her breath, "I got up too quickly... and actually saw this bully acting all cute..."

Gu Qiaoqiao thought to herself: After all these years, Xiao Chen hasn't changed. He still likes gentle and soft girls... Sigh, I wish I had realized it sooner back then.

As soon as Luo Lingyou arrived, he took over the seats of Liu Lan and Gu Qiaoqiao, and kept talking about one topic after another, leaving them no chance to get a word in edgewise.

Gu Qiaoqiao felt a little awkward standing there. After exchanging a glance with Liu Lan, she said softly to Chen Moxin, "Xiao Chen, it's good to see that you're alright. Then Lan-jie and I will go back first. You should rest well these few days."

Chen Moxin waved to them: "Okay, thank you for making the trip. I'll come see you in a few days."

Just after Liu Lan and Gu Qiaoqiao left, Chen Moxin suddenly felt a sharp pain in her wrist.

Suddenly, Luo Lingyou bit his hand for no apparent reason, making him wince in pain.

"No, why did you suddenly bite me?"

Did I bite you?

"Didn't you bite it?"

"I do not have it."

"Do you think I'm stupid? The teeth marks are still on it!"

Luo Lingyou had clearly bitten someone, yet she still had that pouty, teary-eyed expression, looking at him innocently.

"Brother Chen, do you know what day this Saturday is?"

"This Saturday? You mean August 12th? I had no idea."

Luo Lingyou grabbed Chen Moxin's hand and prepared to bite it again.

Chen Moxin pinched her cheek with her hand and said lazily, "Just kidding. I remembered your birthday the very first day I met you."

Luo Lingyou finally smiled with satisfaction. She sat on the edge of the bed, her little head resting on the same pillow as Chen Moxin's, looking at him like a kitten snuggling up to its owner.

"Will you celebrate my birthday with me on Saturday?"

"Aren't you going home to live with your mother?"

"She wanted me to come back to the capital, but I turned it down. I want to spend time with you."

"Oh why?"

"Because you celebrated Gu Qiaoqiao's birthday for her last time."

Luo Lingyou brought her red lips close to Chen Moxin's ear. She blinked, and her crimson eyes, reflecting the light, flashed with a blood-red cold light.

"I want everything you have given to others."

Chapter 160 The Little Day Collapsed

After Liu Lan and Gu Qiaoqiao left, Chen Moxin and Luo Lingyou chatted in the sanatorium.

Chen Moxin agreed to celebrate Luo Lingyou's birthday with her, and she was overjoyed. She returned to her usual soft and cute self, calling him "Brother Chen" repeatedly, which was so sweet it made people's teeth hurt.

After chatting for more than half an hour, Luo Lingyou had work to do and didn't stay long. He lingered with Chen Moxin for a while before leaving.

She had just left when Chen Moxin was about to rest and go to sleep when she suddenly received a phone call from Dong Xiaobai.

On the day Chen Moxin finished the cube resonance, she had already called home to let her family know she was safe and sound, saying that she had "returned to China".

However, he made an excuse that he had other things to take care of and would not go home for the next few days, but would stay at the bureau.

I had told Chen Wenzhe and Dong Xiaobai all of this.

Chen Moxin was genuinely surprised when Dong Xiaobai suddenly called.

Dong Xiaobai wasn't the type to chat idly for no reason. If she contacted him at this time, it was most likely because something had happened at home.

"Hey, Sister Xiaobai, what's wrong?"

After the call was connected, Chen Moxin took the initiative to ask questions.

However, there was no sound from the other end of the phone.

Thinking the signal was bad, Chen Moxin continued, "Hello, can you hear me?"

"Hiss..." Dong Xiaobai's voice finally came through, and it was a choked sound as if she was about to cry at any moment.

Chen Moxin frowned and sat up in bed: "What's wrong? Don't cry, what happened?"

Dong Xiaobai sniffled, her voice trembling slightly as she choked back tears: "I'm at the entrance of your bureau, could you come out for a moment...?"

Chen Moxin knew Dong Xiaobai's personality.
