But every journey to seek death would be terminated in some way. At this moment, Hoshino realized that there seemed to be some kind of power around him that was stopping him.
"Speaking of which, Hoshino-chan, if one day, the teacher or Meng left without saying a word, would Hoshino-chan hate the teacher?"
At this moment, Hoshino suddenly thought of a certain moment. It was a very ordinary day, so ordinary that he almost ignored it.
"Hmm? Leave? Humph~ It's best to leave early. That way, Senior Meng won't stay in your arms every day and won't be able to think for herself. As for Senior Meng... well, she will probably get lost somewhere with that silly look. Then you can go find her."
"Is that so~ Yeah, I understand. But if Hoshino-chan wants to get over it, the teacher will definitely stop you, okay?"
"Well, who would think so? I wish you would leave sooner. After all, as an adult, you might deceive me and Meng Senior again at some point in time."
After taking a look at Senior Meng who was still sleeping, Hoshino sticks out his tongue at Zhang Xinyuan mischievously, and then goes back to doing his own thing.
Thinking back to this, Hoshino reached out and touched it, and then a warm breath surrounded his palm.
"So, you are here..."
"That's right~ Hoshino, the teacher has never left you~"
"Eh?"
The memories of the past and the present overlapped with each other, and before he knew it, the messy bedroom in front of him turned back into a cold laboratory, but the warmth in front of him made Hoshino tremble subconsciously.
"Old, teacher?"
"That's right~ Hoshino, the teacher is always here~"
After Alu helped delay most of the trouble and got rid of Chairman Caesar, Zhang Xinyuan quickly led everyone in Abydos into the laboratory. However, due to the complexity of the laboratory, Zhang Xinyuan used time stop to shorten the searching time, and finally saw Hoshino kneeling in the center through the glass somewhere deep.
"Is this a dream..."
"Not really~"
Originally, he planned to go back the same way to bring everyone here, but he saw that Hoshino's halo seemed to be collapsing. Zhang Xinyuan's heart tightened, so he planned to go in and see what was going on. But after entering, he heard every detail of Hoshino's previous life.
"Xingye, the teacher once said that even if the teacher leaves suddenly, he will appear by Xingye's side when Xingye needs him the most. Although I am sorry that I was not by Xingye's side when Meng disappeared, do you still remember what Meng said?"
"What Senior Meng said..."
The smile of Senior Meng flashed through his mind, and Hoshino's eyes moved. Looking at the teacher's firm eyes, Hoshino was stunned for a moment and then blurted out what the teacher said.
Zhang Xinyuan/Xingye: "The daily life we spend every day,"
"Senior Hoshino!"
After he finished speaking, the building in the sky suddenly opened, and the surrounding red lights dissipated one by one. An exit was directly blown out of the building behind. With the help of Zhang Xinyuan, Hoshino supported his teacher and stood up.
"Ah, what? Is it really the teacher and everyone else?"
The setting sun in the sky dyed everyone's cheeks red. Looking at everyone's happy smiles, Hoshino felt a little sour in his nose.
"Welcome back! Senior Hoshino!"
"Ah! Serika-chan actually said it first? She was so shy..."
"Well, stop talking so much! Of course I can't help but speak out in this situation!"
"Well, I'm coming too, Senior Hoshino 1, welcome back."
Hearing the familiar noise of fighting, Zhang Xinyuan and Zhang Xinyuan gently pushed Xingye's back from behind.
"Go ahead. This is what your juniors are looking forward to the most. If you don't respond well to your juniors, you will be lectured by everyone when you go back, okay?"
"teacher..."
Junior? It turns out that this was how Senior Meng felt back then.
Hoshino rubbed his eyes, took one last step forward, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
"Ahahaha~ Looks like everyone wants me to say that."
"Well! If you know about this, please hurry up, Hoshino-senpai! After all, we still have to rush back to celebrate!"
Hoshino closed his eyes, and his breath gradually returned to the familiar Hoshino Takanashi. Then, under everyone's gaze, Hoshino stretched out his tender little hand and put it on his mouth, yawning.
"Yawn~ Since it's the request of the cute juniors then..."
The afterglow of the setting sun lengthened Hoshino's shadow, stretching it until it enveloped Baizi and the others. With a joyful and happy smile, Hoshino spoke.
"I am back."
After he finished speaking, everyone in Abydos gathered around him and laughed happily.
“Hehe! Senior Hoshino! I didn’t expect that you would have such a day! You lecture me every day, but now you’re done! This time... wow!”
Serika originally wanted to take advantage of this incident to tease Hoshino, but she didn't expect Hoshino to turn around and grab her waist and stick to her.
"Hey, Qin Xiang-chan, what are you talking about? I don't understand. After all, I am old and confused and can't remember things clearly~"
"Wow! Hoshino-senpai! Stop touching me!"
Looking at the people playing around, Zhang Xinyuan, who was thinking about the successful conclusion of the matter, suddenly noticed that waves were rippling in the desert in the distance.
"what is that?"
Chapter 105: There are still experts
Some time ago.
"Hmm~ Why is the teacher's phone always busy? I don't even know where the teacher is now... So boring~"
Although they accepted Amy's commission to come to the Abydos Desert to find the source of the signal, they were not familiar with how to find their way in the desert, and they got lost in the desert unknowingly.
Standing outside the cart, Maki was carrying sand out of boredom, then turned around to look at Amy, who was left with only a pair of underwear and a bra.
"Amy, it's not fixed yet?"
"Hmm~ Just a little bit... Phew~ I mentioned to our minister before that if this car is going to go into the desert, we need to debug the power system in the car. I didn't expect it hasn't been repaired yet... Phew~ It's been repaired. Fortunately, I brought a more powerful one."
Amy wiped the sweat off her body, then quickly opened the back door of the car. An instant of cold air made Amy look comfortable.
"Huh~ It's really nice to have air conditioning."
"By the way, Amy, you haven't met the teacher in person yet?"
Maki followed Amy into the carriage, and when she closed the door, she saw Amy sitting at the console, seemingly adjusting something.
"Well, I have seen it. After all, there was a big fight between the Game Department and the President's subordinates at that time. But I had just returned from my mission as the department head, so I only saw it from a distance."
Amy watched the data flash across the screen, followed by the red alarm light above.
"Eh?! What happened?"
Staring at the red light above, Maki also looked surprised.
"Well, it seems that we have captured another signal... Um~ For the sake of efficiency, Maki, let's go to that place first. You can contact the teacher first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Amy clicked on the automatic driving mode, and then lay comfortably in the recliner and turned on the air conditioner.
"Hehe~ That's no problem. Since something's going on, I'm glad I have some free time... By the way, Amy, I heard that our director... ah, no, Director Himari is currently researching some paranormal stuff? Come to think of it, I haven't seen her for a long time."
Maki sat next to Amy, watching her lying comfortably on the table and chair, Maki asked with a smile while scribbling on her phone.
"Hmm? The director? She has been staying in the lab recently. I heard that the president is doing something again. The director said, 'Such dirty tricks must be stopped.' I don't know anything else."
Amy opened her eyes slightly, stared into Maki's eyes and spoke slowly, but the latter showed excitement immediately, hugged her shoulders with both hands and said: "Hehe! It appears! Minister Hinami's unique metaphor! Phew~ Speaking of which, I haven't graffitied on Hinami-senpai's chair for a long time. I wonder if my artistic Hinami-senpai still recognizes her~"
"Hmm? You mean these graffiti?"
Pointing to the pattern that Maki had drawn on her desk out of boredom, Amy looked thoughtful.
"Could this be the fashion symbol for girls nowadays? (whispering)"
...
"Huh~ Chairman, I think it's almost done, right? It looks like we've already wiped out most of their northern troops."
Coming to Hina's side, after Iori killed another soldier and kicked him to the mountain of soldiers behind, Iori looked at the empty front, then turned back to look at Hina who was wiping her weapon and reminded him.
"That guy...should the teacher have rescued the people from Abydos?"
"..."
Hina put down her weapon and immediately pressed the button on her headset. After a while, she heard a voice coming from behind and nodded.
"The teacher's meeting is over, so let's go back to Gehenna first."
"Well, in that case, I'll notify Yazi and ask her to send someone to pick us up."
After hearing about the retreat, Chinatsu was about to contact Ako when she heard Ako's anxious voice in the headphones.
"Chairman! Everyone! Run! There's a huge thing coming towards you!"
"Something huge?"
Just when everyone was puzzled, Hina noticed that the surface of the desert was shaking unnaturally. Hina slowly knelt down and pressed her delicate face into the desert. Although it was a desert, Hina could actually hear the sound of quicksand collapsing as if she was on flat ground.
"Everyone, pay attention, something is coming."
Hina stood up quickly, picked up her weapon and stared straight ahead. Under the gaze of everyone, sand was constantly being blown up in the apparently ordinary desert, and accompanied by the sound of strong bombing, a white object like a snake was constantly rushing towards them.
As if aware of the opponent's strength, Hina's expression changed slightly, and then she called on everyone to retreat to another place first.
"Everyone, evacuate over there!"
After retreating to a higher hill, Chinatsu panted and asked Hina, "Committee Chairman, what is that thing? It's so long, could it be a snake?"
"I don't know, but..."
Hinata watched as the Caesar soldiers they had just knocked down were being devoured bit by bit by the other side, and Hinata couldn't help but frown.
"It seems that we have to evacuate later. We must find the teacher first and tell him what happened here...!"
At this moment, Hina's anti-enemy consciousness was activated immediately, and she subconsciously shot somewhere. Then a white body suddenly appeared, and screams were heard in the distance.
"We've been discovered! Let's go!"
...
"Hey! Amy! Look! Is that the thing you're looking for?!"
Before they knew it, they had driven the car near Hina and the others. At this time, Maki saw sparks and white objects in the distance, and she pulled Amy's body and said.
"Hmm~ Let me take a look first... Hmm? Yes, the signal we are currently receiving is sent from this thing!"
Seeing that they had made new discoveries in their recent research, Amy began to analyze it with a serious look on her face, but soon frowned again.
