Good morning, Junior Brother, Chapter 10

Upon awakening, he indeed felt a burning sensation on his leg. Although there were no blisters, the pain of that burning was truly intense and vivid

But what does this have to do with me

It is a helpless act, and in the future, you will forgive your senior brother. Xin Chen sighed and said, Moreover, pain is not fatal; it is the last belief that the ancestors conveyed to you as they sacrificed their lives for righteousness. The suffering you endure is but one percent of what they bore.

Xin Chen was momentarily taken aback, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Your level of localization is even higher than that of my senior brother. I only started going online in the past two years and learned these jokes then"

Gu Tao sat on the stool, staring at Xin Chen: "You are such a bastard, do you know that?"

Gu Tao lowered his head to look at his chest, where three claw-like marks appeared, swollen and red. However, this was not caused by an external injury, but rather an issue with his nerve conduction, as the information automatically relayed by his brain resulted in bodily abnormalities

How do you resolve this? What do you think this is? Is this a punishment? What you are receiving is the essence of the very origin of this civilization, the most fundamental thing. As long as you stand on the Earth, there is no other way. This mountain, this water, this land, this wind, the air you breathe, the scenery you see, without exception. You say you come from a higher level of civilization, then I ask you, are the people of your higher civilization all this cowardly?

Disciple, are you hungry? I will provide you with something to eat.

He is a person with a mission at hand

What is this beast

After studying the memory imprint images on the spacecraft with his assistant for an entire day, although they returned empty-handed, Gu Tao had already watched the short film no less than three hundred times. It must be said that this image is truly exquisite; every frame is a landscape painting at the level of three hundred million pixels, and once projected, it is almost tempting to use it as wallpaper

In order to verify the accuracy of his thoughts, Gu Tao closed the door of the treatment chamber and then input the command for the hypnotic gas. Within a few minutes, a strong wave of drowsiness swept over him, and he once again fell into a deep sleep

After hastily tending to his painful spots, Gu Tao returned to that shady establishment as quickly as possible. However, by that time, Xin Chen was already awake, sitting on a chair, holding a fan in his hand while watching over a small stove. On the stove was a purple-red clay pot, bubbling and emitting a fragrant aroma.

Upon exiting that shady establishment, Gu Tao's first action was to rush back and undergo a full body examination. When he discovered that everything was normal, he finally set his anxious heart at ease. Although he was indeed particularly curious about that unknown world, he had no desire to unwittingly take on a strange task.

In fact, Gu Tao did not want to waste words with him, but the guy's stubbornness was truly annoying. Coupled with the pain that had consumed a great deal of energy, Gu Tao was now extremely hungry. Therefore, adhering to the principle of not passing up a free meal, he buried his head and finished the entire pot of seafood porridge by himself

Senior brother has prepared seafood congee for you, so please have your breakfast first

Stay here, do not leave. In the future, we will restore the glory of the Dao lineage together as brothers.

In other words, even our technology cannot fully decipher it?" Gu Tao furrowed his brow and said, "It seems that the history of civilization in this world is indeed fascinating.

This time, he did not know how long he had slept; in any case, he was aware that he had dreamt again. However, what lay before him was no longer a monster, but an erupting volcano. His perspective was as if he were seated at the crater, seemingly in a cross-legged position. The immense heat and thick smoke from the volcano once again made Gu Tao feel an unbearable sense of pain.

What bad luck

Good morning, junior disciple

Myth..." Gu Tao pressed his lips together: "From now on, conduct a comprehensive examination of my bodily data, and immediately awaken me if any anomalies are detected.

Gu Tao sighed deeply and sat down on the stepping stone at the door: "Why am I so unlucky to encounter something like you... What do you say, how should we resolve this?"

Did you really not analyze anything from that scene in the morning? Was it just an illusion

After muttering to himself, he stood up to prepare to eat something. However, after taking just a couple of steps, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. Instinctively, he reached out to touch it, and a severe tearing sensation surged from his chest. The instant agony caused him to lose his balance and kneel on the ground. The pain triggered the warning system, but soon the alarm was silenced, as the source of the pain was himself, and this situation would only be classified as an illness.

Hold on! Don't eat me!

Leaping up from the chair, Gu Tao felt a cold sweat covering his face, and his breathing was rapid, as if he were on the verge of collapse. However, once he clearly observed his surroundings, he let out a long sigh of relief

It is not an illusion; if it were an illusion, it would not contain such a vast amount of information. Normally, the amount of information generated by a human brain in an illusion does not exceed 1 terabyte, whereas the earlier images have already reached 2 petabytes. I have begun to analyze it frame by frame to see if I can decipher its underlying information

It seems that I am temporarily hesitant to come over

"Alright, I have finished eating, now hurry up and give me an explanation. I am not afraid to tell you that my first rule is to protect my own safety. If I feel that I am under threat, then your troubles will be greater than mine"

Is it time to enter the comprehensive virus detection phase? Nanorobots can repair your nerve damage

The taste is quite good ... No, one could say it is excellent.

The scene gradually formed before his eyes. Although time felt long in the dream, most human dreams do not last more than five minutes. Gu Tao was no exception; the images in his dream lasted only three minutes and eleven seconds. Yet, those three minutes and eleven seconds made him truly feel pain, real physical pain.

And if there are no unforeseen circumstances, the painful area is precisely the spot that was bitten by that monster in the dream just now

"Now there is a relationship, a legacy you willingly accept." Xin Chen brought a bowl of noodles from the kitchen, topped with several slices of meat, which looked quite appetizing. As he ate, he said, "The ancestors only have high hopes for you, that is all. Do not let down the martyrs, nor let down yourself."

The lava slowly surged upward, and the searing sensation struck him once again. However, this time he was being monitored by the system, so as soon as the lava made contact with his calf, he was actively awakened

Gu Tao, clutching his chest, ran into the medical chamber and lay down. The blue light strips scanned back and forth over him, and the pain in his chest was quickly alleviated. The feeling of breathlessness had also disappeared. He calmed down a bit, let out a sigh, and said: "Check the results report"

"Junior brother, calm down." Xin Chen said with a squint and a smile, "Even if you kill me, or even destroy the Earth, it won't solve the problem."

The monster had a strange appearance, at least one that he had never seen before, while he himself was completely covered in vines and unable to move. The monster, which had five tails, paced back and forth in front of him, seemingly at a loss.

"The ghost wants to eat you from below." Gu Tao spat.

Oh my... This silly Xin Chen has unexpectedly good eloquence

According to the scan, no external injuries were found; however, the nervous system has automatically determined that you have sustained damage, and the brain is issuing pain signals. According to the protection act, you need to be isolated and observed here for a week to check for infection by a neurovirus

No matching target found, but based on image data retrieval, this creature bears a striking resemblance to a being from myth and legend

Seven hours and three minutes in the morning

Is it solvable? It's not that it can't be solved; as long as he returns to the treatment chamber every day or sleeps in the exoskeleton, the system's built-in healing ability can allow him to get through each day without suffering such torment. However, this would be... really too inconvenient. His mission is not yet complete, and if he were to do this, even if he could ultimately uncover the essence of this thing, it would still require a significant amount of time.

While he was lost in thought, the monster in front of him suddenly let out a strange cry and lunged at him with its mouth wide open. After several impacts, it felt as if a protective barrier had been breached before him. Then, he felt a sharp pain in his chest

After a day of struggling with the assistant, Gu Tao was indeed a bit tired. He leaned back in the cockpit chair and fell asleep just like that. However, in a daze, he began to see various colors appearing before him. These colors gradually converged into images, and a strange scene reappeared in front of Gu Tao. This time, he was still in the first-person perspective, but what lay before him was no longer a resplendent palace, but a hideous monster.

Gu Tao knew he was dreaming, but was this dream a bit too real? He could even smell the fishy odor emanating from the monster not far in front of him, and the feeling of being oppressed and restrained was truly palpable. He could feel the numbness and weakness in his limbs from the lack of blood circulation.

Xin Chen looked up with a smile, gazing at Gu Tao, whose face was filled with anger

Gu Tao slowly opened the hatch of the medical chamber, sitting up with a serious expression: "No need, I probably know who is behind this. What time is it now?"

Do not think that I have no way to resolve this

Recall the images from my dream just now

Gu Tao looked at the handsome young man in front of him with surprise, then glanced at the noodles in his bowl and swallowed hard

Medical warehouse! Open the medical warehouse!

What exactly have you done to me

Satania summoned a close-up of the monster from her dream, and beside it appeared an illustration from an ancient scroll: "Five tails and one horn, elongated body, resembling a leopard, entirely crimson; it should be a creature from myth and legend, known as Zheng."
