Chapter 145 Accident

At noon, 12:30, at the restaurant of the Psionic Center.

The Psionic Center's restaurant should have been packed with people at this time, but because they were about to embark on a particularly dangerous and large-scale mission, most people packed their food to take back to their rooms to eat, giving themselves more time to prepare.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiyue and Mo Luosi spotted Louis and Bai Tong in a corner of the restaurant.

Lin Xiyue held Bai Tong in her arms affectionately, occasionally touching its little feet and kissing its cheeks, she loved it dearly.

She felt like she hadn't been close to Bai Tong in a long time, all because Molos always stopped her.

"Little kitty~ (*ΦwΦ*) Do you miss me? Hehehe, I miss you so much! MUA~"

Lin Xiyue spoke to Bai Tong in a sticky, strained voice, which was also particularly childish.

"Meow~~o( =nwn= )m"

Bai Tong cooperated perfectly, meowing in response.

Lin Xiyue and Bai Tong were having a very pleasant conversation, and the atmosphere was filled with cute pink heart-shaped bubbles.

Meanwhile, Meros was explaining some things about Louis's childhood to him. There seemed to be an invisible wall between the four of them, and the atmosphere between the two groups was completely different.

"Hey! You guys are here! (￣▽￣)／"

Ye Qingwan's voice rang out behind them. Everyone looked up and saw Ye Qingwan, dressed in a youthful and lively casual outfit, striding towards them from the restaurant's main entrance.

"Hey, Qingwan-jie! (??▽?)?"

When Lin Xiyue saw her, she happily waved to her and told her to come over quickly.

After Lin Qingwan arrived, she naturally sat down next to Lin Xiyue and placed a small box that she had been carrying all the way on the table.

"Huh? What's this? ゛('◇')?"

Lin Xiyue looked at the exquisite little box on the table, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"This is a little cake I brought especially for you. I'm so grateful that your Lanster was able to take my naughty little sister out to play."

As Ye Qingwan spoke, she opened the small box, revealing a beautiful cream cake inside.

This beautiful cream cake has a mouthwatering red velvet base.

The delicate and smooth layer of cream looked as if it had been carefully applied, evenly covering the entire cake, with every part shimmering with an enticing luster.

The abundant chocolate shavings, like twinkling stars in the night sky, are scattered irregularly on the cake, as if telling an endless sweet story.

Especially the strawberries, which look incredibly delicious, are like little red gems, quietly adorning every corner of the cake. Their fresh color complements the deep red velvet, making the whole cake look exceptionally exquisite and charming.

This cake is like a beautiful work of art. Just by looking at it, you can feel the rich, sweet aroma wafting towards you, as if it could completely conquer your taste buds and leave you completely immersed in its deliciousness.

"Wow! Is this for me? ヾ(?°?°?)??"

Lin Xiyue looked at the pretty little cake, which even had a cold mist floating on it, clearly indicating that it had just been taken out of the refrigerator.

"Yes, it's also a thank you gift~ Give it a try, I've always loved this shop."

Seeing Lin Xiyue looking at the cake so cutely, as if she really wanted to eat it, Ye Qingwan pushed the cake towards Lin Xiyue.

"Okay! (*^▽^*)"

After receiving permission, Lin Xiyue happily picked up a knife and fork, cut the small cake into several pieces, and gave one piece to each person present.

"Mmm, it's so delicious! (*?′╰╯`?)"

After distributing the cake to everyone, Lin Xiyue couldn't wait to scoop up a small piece with a spoon. Looking at the luscious cake and strawberries on the spoon, she took a bite and then let out a satisfied sound.

"Baby, you can have mine too."

Seeing that Lin Xiyue liked it very much, Moros gave his own to Lin Xiyue as well.

Then, he looked at Ye Qingwan and said, "You didn't just come here to deliver a cake, did you? Tell me, what happened?"

"Ah, hahaha, ￣□￣｜｜ I can't hide it from you. Here's what happened. This morning, when we were monitoring those two problematic locations, one of them suddenly had a problem. A family was brutally murdered by the alien race. When we were investigating, we found that location. Although it wasn't very close to the location we were monitoring, there was a small alley that led to it quickly."

Ye Qingwan put away her smile and, with a serious expression, explained the problem to Molos.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyue looked up at her, her eyes filled with concern.

“We strongly suspect that they know we are monitoring them, so they have started to acquire energy at all costs.”

Ye Qingwan opened her terminal and unfolded a page of data. The chart clearly showed that the energy consumption, which had been stable since last night, suddenly surged in the morning, with the lines on the chart almost reaching a 90-degree angle.

"Oh dear, it seems like I've suddenly expended a lot of energy."

Looking at the graph, Lin Xiyue noticed the unit next to it—thousands—and the time below was calculated in hours, realizing that this was indeed a sudden increase in energy consumption.

Even before the increase, it was already consuming a lot every hour.

Compared to the consumption of other residents, the increase is almost geometric, which is far too much and too conspicuous.

"Yes, and compared to another anomaly, this point consumes almost ten times more resources. Therefore, it is almost certain that this is the area where those illegal immigrants are located."

Ye Qingwan pointed to another anomaly on the map and said to Molos and Lin Xiyue.

"Okay, let's go here. This should be it. Let's move at seven o'clock tonight."

Meros pinpointed the location with just one glance.

"Okay. I'll go and tell them."

Ye Qingwan nodded, put away her terminal, gestured to everyone, and then left with her small cake.

She really liked the little cake.

Louis, who was standing nearby, nodded to indicate that he understood.

He didn't really understand what he was supposed to do, but he knew that all he had to do was follow orders.

Only Meros knew what was really going on here; during their previous conversation, he felt he had come to understand a lot of things.

Moros only treated him this way because he was an employee recognized by Lin Xiyue.

He has understood the concept of mutual benefit since he was a child, and it also makes him feel more at ease.
