Chapter 297: Can't This Kitty Go Out?
Chapter 297: Can't This Kitty Go Out?
"Simple," Su Yu shrugged. "I completed the 75th main storyline mission, and the reward was a Golden Legendary Pet Egg."
Su Yu recounted the origin of Morning Star, and at the end, he thought for a moment and decided to share the two hints Belina had given to Morning Star with Zhu Guorui and Xue Wenli. It was better for them to know these things sooner rather than later.
After learning the content of the two hints, Xue Wenli and Zhu Guorui were even more shocked.
Time Manager?
Patching the flow of time?
Game creatures can be resurrected multiple times in the real world?
Zhu Guorui's expression turned serious.
It seemed he had severely underestimated this game, and the concept of a "Time Manager" was beyond his comprehension.
Xue Wenli, on the other hand, swayed slightly, struggling to stand steady.
She stumbled to the sofa in the room, took a sip of the water Su Yu handed her, and her emotions gradually calmed down.
"No, this is too important. I must report it immediately!" she thought to herself.
Xue Wenli stood up and looked at Su Yu. "Kexing, can I report this to Commissar Zhang and inform the higher-ups in the government?"
"Of course," Su Yu shrugged. "If I didn't want you to report it, I wouldn't have called you here."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll go report it now!" Xue Wenli glanced at Morning Star one more time and turned to leave.
Normally, she should have taken a clear photo of Morning Star to include in the report, as it would make the file more compelling. However, considering Su Yu's possible reluctance, she didn't mention it.
After all, Morning Star's appearance was similar to a cat from Earth, except her fur shimmered with a bright blue starlight. She could always find a realistic painter to create a detailed portrait later.
But Su Yu stopped her. "Wait, I have one more thing."
"What is it?" Xue Wenli looked at him.
Su Yu pointed at Morning Star. "Can I take her for a walk around the city?"
Xue Wenli hesitated. "This..."
"How about it, human? Can't this kitty go out?" Morning Star suddenly spoke up.
Morning Star's voice was clear and crisp, but her tone was very angry.
"Can it actually talk!" Xue Wenli was startled by Morning Star's sudden speech, realizing that Su Yu's pet had intelligence!
However, she quickly composed herself and explained to Morning Star, slightly lowering her tone. "It's not that I don't want to, but I'm worried that the bacteria and viruses on your body might spread in our world. I'm also concerned that the bacteria and viruses in our world might harm you."
Xue Wenli looked to Zhu Guorui for support.
Zhu Guorui nodded and added, "Wenli is right. After the Skrull invasion, we discovered this issue: they are extraterrestrial beings, and the types of bacteria and viruses they carry are completely different from those on Earth."
"Many soldiers involved in the Lingwu Mountain operation contracted severe illnesses caused by alien bacteria and viruses, and they are still being treated."
"Many of the Skrulls captured during the Lingwu Mountain operation also died from Earth's bacteria and viruses, with only the strongest surviving."
"So, we must be cautious with new extraterrestrial beings."
Su Yu: "This..."
He hadn't thought of all these potential issues.
Morning Star, though unfamiliar with the term "bacteria and viruses," disdainfully waved her paw. "I am a Celestial Being. I don't carry those things you're talking about."
"Besides, I can cast a protective barrier that will isolate me from the outside world. I'll be fine," Morning Star said.
With a soft hum, a pale blue, uneven shield with a surface that seemed to shimmer with starlight formed around her. This was her skill, Starlight Shield, which could completely isolate the inside from the outside. Not only would bacteria and viruses be unable to penetrate it, but even air couldn't pass through.
Zhu Guorui sensed the state of the shield and thought for a moment before saying, "How about this, Little Brother Su. I'll speak to the higher-ups in the government and try to get permission for this little cat to go outside. However, until we receive confirmation, you two must stay at home."
"Alright, we'll wait for your news," Su Yu nodded.
After Zhu Guorui and Xue Wenli left, they went to the "relevant department" branch and held a video conference with the government's top officials to discuss the situation with Su Yu.
And their efficiency was impressive.
Two hours later, Su Yu received a call from Xue Wenli.
In the call, Xue Wenli informed him that Morning Star had been approved to go outside, but for now, she could only move within a 3-kilometer radius centered around Su Yu's home. After a week of testing by health experts, her activity range could be expanded further.
Su Yu had no objections.
After the call, he took Morning Star out of the house.
The streets were under curfew.
Since the public disclosure of the Skrull's existence, the country had implemented a curfew in all towns and cities. The curfew meant that all nighttime activities were prohibited from 8 PM to 5 AM the next day.
The main reason for the curfew was to prevent troublemakers from taking advantage of the darkness. Additionally, in cities other than Donghai, the number of ghosts was increasing, and the Ghost Hunter Ruler, which could eliminate them, hadn't been fully developed yet. Walking outside at night was indeed dangerous.
But Su Yu was different.
Over the past one and a half months, he had frequently acted at night to eliminate ghosts, earning him a special privilege to move around at night.
So, taking advantage of the empty streets, he decided to take Morning Star out for a walk.
Su Yu wandered aimlessly through the streets, with Morning Star perched on his shoulder, curiously observing the world around her.
As they walked, Su Yu introduced her to the basic situation on Blue Star. He explained how the depletion of spirit energy had led to the Age of Lawlessness, how Blue Star's inhabitants had found a new path in technology, and the events leading up to the Siren civilization's plans and the Skrull invasion just a month and a half ago.
These topics were so vast that they could take days to fully discuss, but Su Yu only gave her a general overview.
Through Su Yu's narration, Morning Star gradually began to understand the situation on Blue Star.
However, her understanding was still preliminary, and she would need more time to delve deeper.
There wasn't much to do within the 3-kilometer radius.
After taking Morning Star for a couple of loops and showing her the rooftop of the tallest residential building, Su Yu brought her back home.
Back at home, Su Yu showed Morning Star computers, smartphones, and other internet-connected devices.
Upon learning about these devices' functions, Morning Star immediately became fascinated with them!
After Su Yu taught her how to use the phone, she stayed up all night, using her paw to swipe the screen and search for everything that caught her interest.
It wasn't until 4 AM, when she could no longer keep her eyes open, that she finally fell asleep beside the phone.
