From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!-Chapter 192 - 95: Nipped in the Bud (Part 2)
When Gu Ningxuan was expelled at first, he also went through a period of agonizing adjustment, but in the end, he persevered. Growing up is like this, enduring one hardship, overcoming one obstacle, and learning to mature amidst stumbles and falls.
He thought Su Jiameng was a strong and independent woman capable of achieving this.
Although what Gu Ningxuan said was mostly old clichés, he had indeed gone through this painful growth, so his words carried a certain credibility. Su Jiameng hugged her knees, thought for a moment, and then nodded, "Thank you..."
In her previous life, there wasn’t anything she hadn’t gone through; she had endured years of the Insect Race’s rampage, let alone now. Everything had not yet begun, and she was certain she could find a way to turn things around. No matter what trials fate imposed, she would face them head-on and not avoid them.
Perhaps that heart-to-heart that wasn’t quite a heart-to-heart had an effect, as Su Jiameng quickly fell asleep after drying her hair. But the next morning was somewhat unfortunate; she found her nose blocked, and her muddled brain felt as if a huge stone was tied to it.
"Three Good Lolita master, you’re adorably silly for catching a cold and having a low fever in weather like this..." Su Mo pushed her down onto the bed the moment she woke up, almost losing her petite figure beneath the pressure.
"Low fever?" She had a fever? Su Jiameng thought somewhat painfully about this, suddenly realizing why she had slept so smoothly last night—she must have been ill, feverish, fatigued? Plus, she had gone to bed with wet hair, so her brain not hurting would be more surprising.
"Yeah, a fever, it’s breaking my heart!" Seeing her face a little flushed from being squashed, Su Mo quickly got up and took out a prepared injection; the sharp and bright needle made Su Jiameng somewhat anxious, "Don’t worry, it won’t hurt with one shot."
Su Jiameng wasn’t afraid of gunfire, but she had a fear of injections; seeing a needle would instinctively make her back feel cold.
Su Mo wasn’t going to let Su Jiameng escape, and given her current physical condition, she couldn’t get away either; her buttock took a solid jab, almost hurting her to death.
"Three Good Lolita master, drink the medicine with warm water and then sleep well, and it’ll be fine." Su Mo tucked her in, her pretty and delicate face showing a womanly gentleness that left Su Jiameng momentarily unable to react.
She had seen Su Mo in a comical state before but never like this, so normal and gentle, as if her personality had been forcibly switched. After Su Mo left, Su Jiameng dully covered her injected bottom, lying on the bed in a daze...
Although Future Interstellar’s medicine was highly advanced, treating diseases still required some time. Su Jiameng slept drowsily for two hours, waking up with a slightly confused vision, but the headache had disappeared, and her whole body was energized.
She used the intelligent brain to contact Guan Changxi to come to her room.
Changxi was cleaning downstairs at the time; upon hearing his master’s summons, he switched his prisoner’s outfit to a tailcoat, donned white gloves, becoming impeccably dressed and extremely proper.
As soon as Changxi came in, Su Jiameng asked, "Do you have any way to determine the exact location of that Adhesive Devouring Worm now?"
According to her speculation, the thing Li You was escorting should be the dormant Adhesive Devouring Worm, but where exactly it was transported was unknown.
She wanted to know where that thing was, directly activate telekinesis to kill all its cell tissues!
Seeing Su Jiameng in good spirits, Guan Changxi felt relieved and said, "Currently, the available clues are too few; we need to narrow down the range bit by bit. It might take at least three to five days to get a result."
"Three to five days...not long." Su Jiameng tightened her fist, her eyes gleaming with a fierce light, "Remember to be discreet and ensure the Alliance’s high-levels don’t find out about it. Such dangerous genetic experiments cannot have involved Li You as a Major General performing escort tasks without high-level approval."
Changxi nodded. Being a highly developed intellectual product of a Plane, aside from not being able to have children, he was proficient in everything else. Investigating such a small matter, no matter how complex, he could figure it out, "Yes, I’ll give my all."
Su Jiameng scratched her head, feeling there was something she hadn’t considered thoroughly enough.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck. She remembered, "Right, Changxi, also investigate these three people secretly. One is Alliance Major General Li You, another is Captain Liu Shiyi, and the third is Lieutenant Hua Yanluo... Investigate them thoroughly!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Changxi asked with a strange expression, "Does Master suspect these three are secretly involved with this genetic experiment?"
Su Jiameng shook her head, "No, they have nothing to do with it. But I suddenly remembered something... dormant Insect Race, no one knows how many there are. These people all participated in the security task, so maybe by tracking the traces of their missions, we can find the place where the Adhesive Devouring Worm was initially discovered. Out of caution, we’ll go there and eliminate any risk!"
Changxi noted down the investigation of the three people. The current Alliance smart brain technology was too different from his previous Plane’s, so investigating three Alliance personnel without leaving a trace wasn’t difficult.
Watching Changxi leave, considering he thoughtfully closed the door, Su Jiameng’s gaze became distant as she murmured, "Hope we make it in time..." (To be continued.
