Chapter 51: A Hot Pot Meal

That basketball game has ended four days ago.

It’s noon this day.

Xu Cheng cut various meat slices and vegetables early, and defrosted some meatballs from the refrigerator.

The most important thing is that I fried two plates of small crispy pork.

Their family is having hot pot for lunch today.

While Xu Cheng was preparing the hot pot base, he asked his daughter, "Have you called Xiao Han? I'm coming home for lunch today."

"After a long fight, he said he would be there soon."

Qianqian took out a few cans of ice-cold Coke from the refrigerator and secretly ate a piece of crispy pork on the table.

"It's delicious! Dad's cooking is getting better and better!"

"You have time to learn from your dad?"

"..."

Qianqian said nothing and pretended not to hear.

Xu Cheng: "..."

In fact, he fried three plates of small crispy pork in total. Before the third plate, Chu Qiu ate very deliciously in the kitchen.



Han Xing rushed over quickly.

Start dinner.

As an eyewitness, Han Xing really liked this "family fun" feeling.

Witnesses are an official organization, but they are fundamentally different from the army, because what they have to deal with is the strangeness that comes in the darkness.

Whether it is the use of original energy or fighting against strange creatures, it will affect the human brain and spirit.

Even witnesses with high original energy adaptability cannot maintain their normal mental state under such high-pressure stimulation for a long time.

So witnesses often have their own "lives".

It is a good and rare way to dilute the terrifying "extraordinary" in your mind through the ordinary "everyday".

Rare - there is no exaggeration in these two words.

How can people who are always walking in the dark, always on the verge of life and death, and always on the verge of madness deserve to enjoy an ordinary life?

So Han Xing is very grateful to Qianqian and also very grateful to Xu Cheng.

It was the feeling for this ordinary father and daughter, and also the gratitude for this ordinary life. It was these that gave Han Xing the courage and belief to stand in the face of darkness.

Look, how happy Miss Chu is eating hot pot!

Look, Uncle Xu’s watermelon juice is so enjoyable to drink!

Huh? Uncle Xu seems to have finished drinking his watermelon juice. I'll help him get some more.



Thinking of this, Han Xing quickly got up and went to the kitchen to give Xu Cheng a glass of watermelon juice.

Xu Cheng smiled, as if he was very satisfied with his son-in-law.

He asked casually: "Xiao Han, how was the basketball game you and Qianqian went to watch before?"

Han Xing paused for a moment and then replied: "Very good, a very exciting game."

After such a long period of adaptation, he has been able to assume his disguised identity very comfortably - even though he didn't watch the basketball game at all, but the whole stadium was busy catching people.

Ever since, Xu Cheng drank another glass of refreshing watermelon juice.

Speaking of the voice of the heart, it is really magical.

Often, the more careful a person lies, the smoother his voice will be, and he will never think about other messy things. This is a rule Xu Chengchang has discovered over the years.

So while drinking watermelon juice, he listened to Han Xing "telling" about his arrests of people all over the mall.

What a treat!

Xu Cheng continued to ask about the details of the basketball game.

Han Xing had watched the replay of that basketball game before, so he answered fluently.

The two of them just chatted with each other.

The little crispy meat just disappeared piece by piece.

Soon, Xu Cheng's drinking of watermelon juice slowed down because he realized that Han Xing's memory had reached the most critical part.

——He caught the crazy middle-aged man in the trench coat.

The middle-aged man had a walkie-talkie on his body, and a sentence that Xu Cheng had also heard came from the walkie-talkie.

"We are deep space."



[Deep Space—I haven’t even heard of this name for a long time. It was once the third largest organization alongside the Witnesses and the Star Chamber of Commerce, and has disappeared for a long time. 】

[The man was injected with a high concentration of liquid raw energy and went completely crazy, unable to ask questions.]

[Already told the branch about the emergence of deep space, I hope it will be helpful.]

【The short crispy pork is so delicious.】

[And the "creature" that came out of the vent...]

The next part is even more important, it is about the agent who escaped from the underground.

[That "creature" is most likely a human, but now only half of its head, one eye, and one hand are left. 】

[It is speculated that it should be a person with the characteristics of the Star Chamber of Commerce, and its ability may be to liquefy the whole body. 】

[If it were still a normal human being, its special abilities would be extremely terrifying, and it could even be theoretically immune to all physical attacks!]

[Unfortunately, because it is missing half of its head, it has lost the ability to think and act normally, and is currently being held at the Haicheng Witness Branch.]

【……】

【The short crispy pork is so delicious.】



It took a long time to eat this hotpot.

Qianqian almost drank all the Coke in the refrigerator.

After lunch, Han Xing took the initiative to stay and help clean up, and then returned to the bar base to continue the afternoon training.

He has to be on call at all times during the night.

Qianqian took a short walk and then went back to the house to sleep.

She has a game to play in the evening.

As for Xu Cheng, he went into his room, took out his notebook, and sorted out the information he got today.



Of course, witnesses discovered the boxing match venue underneath the stadium.

But the old man is indeed an old man. The witnesses did not find any trace of the underground boxing match, but they found traces of the arrival of strange creatures behind an iron door.

In the end, combined with the "creature" Han Xing found in the vent, the witnesses restored the incident as follows -

The Star Chamber of Commerce secretly conducted some kind of experiment in its underground stronghold in the stadium, which eventually led to the arrival of strange creatures.

A certain person with special characteristics is stationed in this stronghold.

This person with special characteristics was unable to control the strange creature that descended, and eventually both sides were harmed by it. The strange creatures retreated, and only part of the body of the person with special characteristics remained.

As for the emergence of "deep space", it may be because they want to snatch the research results of the Star Chamber of Commerce.

The matter has finally come to a conclusion.

But Xu Cheng's notes have just reached the most important point - about the carrier of the arrival of this strange creature, which is the mysterious piece of meat.

Witnesses were able to seize the piece of meat.

After several days of sleepless research, the scientists from the Witness Branch finally came to a terrifying conclusion:

That piece of meat came from a strange creature.

This strange creature is so powerful that just a small piece of flesh the size of a fingernail is enough to serve as a carrier to prompt the arrival of another strange creature!

The same effect requires 200,000 tons of New Wuming and nearly a thousand humans on board to achieve it!

What kind of terrifying and strange creature is that? Why does the Star Chamber of Commerce possess its meat?

Witnesses didn't know.

Xu Cheng was naturally even less clear about it.

Therefore, he could only record this question in his notebook and wait for more clues later.



Xu Cheng was taking notes in his room.

Qianqian woke up quietly from her bed.

Young people always like to play with their mobile phones first thing when they wake up.

Qianqian turned on her phone and found that her college classmates suddenly had new messages after a long time.

{We are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Haicheng University, will everyone go back?}

{Absolutely, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, let’s go back to school and check it out.}

{Remember, you can also take your family with you this time. Usually the Haicheng University campus is not open to the public, so the opportunity is rare.}

{Speaking of family members, are several people in our generation already married?}

{I have followed the money several times.}

Naturally, the group started a heated discussion on this topic, and almost everyone was pulled out for questioning.

Which naturally includes Qianqian.

I don’t know who it was, but suddenly said: {I heard that our Miss Chu is getting married.}

The group immediately exploded.

It's not that the matter itself is so strange, but Qianqian herself told no one except Xu Cheng about the marriage.

Of course, she didn't hide it intentionally.

So it was most likely that someone else accidentally saw him when he went out with Han Xing - such as the basketball game not long ago.

The classmates asked Qianqian to bring her husband with them, and some even directly gave out red envelopes with membership money.

Qianqian hasn't had enough sleep yet, so she just wants to continue sleeping.

But she still pulled herself together and continued reading the group messages.

Soon, everyone was chatting away, nothing more than family feuds and some campus gossip.

When Qianqian was drowsy, a girl who stayed at the school as a teaching assistant after graduating from college suddenly sent a message like this——

{By the way, a science club has suddenly become popular at Haicheng University recently. Do you know about it?}

{What does it seem to be called...Deep Space Society?}
