Gou Liang only felt his mind go blank for a moment, and his body suddenly bore the weight of the sudden weight. The unprepared Body Technique Cripple fell to the ground.
Hiss.
Gou Liang cried out in pain. He focused his gaze and saw that it was Rosen lying on top of him.
— Rosen Douglas Dunn, who had recovered to become a twenty-five-year-old adult man.
[Master, what happened to you?]
The System was shocked.
Gou Liang had been with the Big Blind Spot, so he could not see what happened to Rosen. He did not know what had happened, but he knew something had happened when he heard the noise.
Gou Liang did not have time to answer the System's question.
"Nineteen, what happened to you? Answer me! "
He shouted anxiously, trying to support Rosen's body, but with his current physical strength, he could not bear the weight of an adult man.
Damn it!
At this juncture, he did not have time to find out what had caused Rosen to grow instantly. Seeing that he did not respond to his voice, he quickly reached for his carotid artery to check his body. But before he could touch Lawson, his hand was gripped tightly by someone.
Rosen opened his eyes and looked vigilantly at the person who had dared to touch his vitals. When he saw that it was Gou Liang, he immediately let go.
"Xiao Kener?"
Rosen shook his head and just as he propped himself up, he noticed something strange about himself.
He was shocked and immediately pulled Gou Liang up from the ground to shield him. He quickly looked around.
To his surprise, they were still in Headmaster Haris's room. Other than their position and his own body shape, everything in the room, including Haris lying on the bed, had not changed.
He did not feel any threat in the room, but Rosen remained vigilant. He only turned his head to look at Gou Liang. Seeing his pale face, he frowned.
"Xiao Kener, what happened to you? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Are you hurt?"
Gou Liang was stunned by Rosen's well-trained movements. Now that he heard Rosen's continuous questioning, his hands nervously searching his face and body, his heart calmed down.
"I'm fine."
He shook his hand that was hurt by Rosen and rubbed his body that was still a little stuffy. He thought to himself that this host was really useless.
Seeing Rosen's frown deepened because of his movements, Rosen's eyes showed self-blame. He smiled and said, "I'm fine. How about you? Do you feel uncomfortable? "
"I don't feel anything wrong for now."
Rosen said honestly.
Gou Liang took his pulse, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with his body, he heaved a sigh of relief. Only then did he respond to the anxious System in his sea of consciousness.
[Xiao Si, who did that just now?]
[No, Master... why do you ask? I only heard that you were going to get something, but you suddenly fell down! Master, are you okay?]
The system's reply made Gou Liang's heart skip a beat.
He raised his hand and looked at the time in disbelief. Then, he looked at Harris's hand. Sure enough, the black stone in his hand was gone.
Rosen followed his movements and found that something was wrong.
Only 37 seconds had passed since they got close to the black stone.
Then, from the time when Rosen touched the black stone to the time when his body changed, did he get eaten?!
[Xiao Si, ask the Main System for help immediately. Find out what happened and find out the origin of the stone.]
[I'll go now!]
The System did not dare to delay.
Rosen checked the time on his optical computer and the wall. He frowned when he was sure that Gou Liang's optical computer was not working. No one could explain the current situation. He and Gou Liang looked at each other and said, "There's something wrong with the stone. Let's take the old principal out of here first."
Gou Liang naturally agreed.
Just as Rosen lifted the blanket and was about to help Haris up, the latter struggled uneasily like a person who woke up from a dream.
*
Haris knew nothing about the black stone.
On the way back to the hotel where Gou Liang and Rosen were staying, Old Harris explained his experience. He had as many questions as Gou Liang and Rosen.
According to him, everything was normal when he fell asleep that day. Who would have thought that he would sleep for ten whole days?
If it were not for the fact that he would send a message and his coordinates to the Army's confidential department every five days, and that the optical computer would automatically ask for help from the Army when the time limit was exceeded, he would not have been discovered even if he slept until he died.
This was not an exaggeration. In fact, no one had noticed anything unusual about him after he slept in the hotel room for so long.
From the hotel's surveillance footage that Rosen retrieved, no one had entered Old Harris's room in the past ten days. Even the room service did not come to clean or deliver food on time. The hotel staff did not know anything about him. For no reason at all, it was as if they were hypnotized. They all avoided his room and ignored the existence of this guest.
What was even more inconceivable was that Old Harris did not feel any discomfort after not eating for ten days.
As for the only suspicious object, the black stone, its whereabouts were unknown, and there was no trace of it. It was as if it had appeared out of thin air in Old Harris's hand when he was sleeping. It had disappeared into thin air, and all clues were lost.
Old Harris said that he could still stay on planet Freud for a while and would do his best to assist them in the investigation. Obviously, sleeping for no reason did not cause him to change his itinerary.
After that, the accompanying doctor did a physical examination on the three of them and concluded that they were healthy. Rosen was still brooding over the black stone and wanted to investigate it. Old Harris, who could not help, exchanged a few words with him and asked him to go about his business. Only Gou Liang was left to talk.
The original host was Old Harris's favorite student, and the relationship between teacher and student had always been very close.
Haris asked about Gou Liang's recent situation with concern. First, he was surprised that Gou Liang's spiritual power had advanced to S-rank, then his expression changed when he learned that Gou Liang had been attacked.
Gou Liang comforted him. "Teacher, now that His Highness the Crown Prince is personally protecting me, even if something like this happens again, it won't endanger my safety. Don't worry."
Old Harris was still angry. "These people are getting more and more restless. Do they think I'm dead or something? How dare they bully my student like this!" He took off the watch with the Haris family emblem on the back and handed it to Gou Liang. "If you run into any trouble again, take this and ask for help. The person in charge of the Haris family is my younger brother. He won't dare to ignore you, so don't be polite with him."
Gou Liang did not refuse and sincerely thanked him.
Seeing that Old Harris was still cursing the scheming mastermind behind the scenes, Gou Liang was worried that he would be too angry, so he quickly changed the topic and talked about how he wanted to design a two-person S-rank mecha.
This was not the original host's idea, but Gou Liang had wanted to make a couple mecha for himself and his beloved Lord Sovereign when he had come to this world. All the details had been designed long ago, and all that was left was to build it.
However, in front of Old Harris, he naturally had to keep a low profile so that the other wouldn't see through his plans.
Every mecha designer had fantasized about building an S-rank mecha with their own hands. Although Old Harris did not have the stubbornness of the original host, he was still extremely excited when he heard Gou Liang's words. The teacher and student were carried away in their discussion until Rosen came to call Gou Liang back to rest. Only then did they realize that three hours had passed without them noticing.
Old Harris still did not want to let him go, but Rosen said that Gou Liang's health was not good and that he needed to maintain a regular schedule. Only then did he let it go.
Gou Liang followed him back and closed the door. In front of his teacher, his strict and serious self changed into an indecent smile. He leaned against the door and looked up at him. "Baby, can't daddy sleep without hugging you? It's all daddy's fault for forgetting that you're afraid of the dark. "
Rosen let him tease him and did not retort. He took two steps forward and led him through the living room to the bathroom in the bedroom. "I've already prepared the hot water for you. Go soak in it for a while and sleep well tonight."
"Good boy."
Gou Liang raised a hand to pat his head, and even stood on tiptoe to kiss him on the forehead. "Baby, go help daddy warm the bed first. I'll be there soon."
Rosen saw that his son was not at all uncomfortable with the current him, and his attitude was the same as always. He was disappointed and a little annoyed at the same time.
Gou Liang pushed open the bathroom door and was about to walk in when Rosen suddenly grabbed his hand. He turned around and asked what was wrong. Rosen pressed him against the door and lowered his head to kiss him on the lips without saying a word. He paused for a moment, then broke into his mouth and licked him hard before retreating.
"This is how adults kiss."
Rosen said.
[Ding! Mission progress bar has been advanced. Current mission progress: 3%.]
His tone was calm, as if he was simply protesting against Gou Liang's previous attitude towards the child. There was not the slightest hint of ambiguity.
However, Gou Liang noticed that his ears were burning, and when he looked directly at him, his gaze was not as calm as he tried to appear. The lines of his face tightened a bit in his line of sight, and his increasingly intense heartbeat did not escape his ears. The increasingly rich scent of dates in the air completely exposed his shy and sweet emotions.
Gou Liang's heart itched, and he desperately resisted the urge to pounce on him and bite him. He maintained a kind smile and said gently, "Dad has learned. Good boy, go back to bed and wait for dad to come back."
Gou Liang smiled. Rosen opened his mouth, but swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Forget it, there was still a long way to go. There was no need to make his attitude clear right now and force him to make a promise to accommodate him. He urged him to take a bath, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obediently warmed Gou Liang's bed. His creed had always been that actions were always more reliable than words.
He did not believe that when he coaxed Gou Liang into bed, he would still not treat him as a man!
Gou Liang lay down in the hot water and sighed comfortably.
He put the hot towel on his face and then returned to the sea of consciousness. The System had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Tell me, what do you mean by the Main System can't enter this world for unknown reasons?"
Gou Liang sat down cross-legged and looked at the System, who was staring at him in a daze. He did not know if the System had heard his question, and asked it in amusement, "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you recognize me after not seeing me for a while? "
"No … Master, you seem to be different somewhere."
The System could not explain it, but it did not know why, but the moment Gou Liang appeared, it felt an unfamiliar pressure that made it tremble. It instinctively did not dare to pounce on him like before.
Gou Liang looked at himself from top to bottom, but did not feel any difference from before. He simply put it aside and continued to discuss the main topic with the System.
He had asked Xiao Si to ask for help from the Main System, but he did not expect the Main System to say that it could not enter this world and lose contact with them.
The System said, "Master, this is the information that the Main System asked me to pass to you. I do not have the authority to read it, so I do not know if the information inside can help you solve your doubts. "
A golden Soul Energy fused into Gou Liang's forehead, and the information that the Main System wanted to convey automatically appeared in Gou Liang's mind.
The Main System told him that the black stone was condensed from the Power of Darkness, and it was also the reason why he could not enter this world.
The Power of Darkness.
Gou Liang had never heard of it before. After reading the information left behind by the Main System, his brows did not relax.
He had never thought that there would be a natural enemy for the Main Gods, but there was no doubt that all things in this world had their natural enemies. Even the Main God who created the Boundless World could not escape this law.
Just like light and shadow, the Law of Darkness and the Lord God coexisted in this world. Although the power of the Lord God had always been above the Power of Darkness, if they met on a narrow path with the Law of Darkness, the result would be that they would either ignore each other and live together, or they would fight each other to the death.
Unlike the Main God who had an independent consciousness since birth, the Law of Darkness could only devour everything.
As for Rosen's sudden growth, the Main System also gave him an explanation.
The Cosmic Beast in this world was a derivative of the Law of Darkness. Last time, as the host of the Main God, Rosen met the Cosmic Beast on a narrow path, and both sides were injured in the end.
Fortunately, the Cosmic Beast had a limited amount of Power of Darkness. After it was defeated by Rosen, the remaining Power of Darkness condensed into a stone and drifted in space. It was probably because of Old Harris's high Soul Energy that the Cosmic Beast chose him and devoured his Soul Energy to recover. Rosen coincidentally encountered the Cosmic Beast, and the clash between the Main God's power and the Power of Darkness led to this unforeseen event.
At that time, time and space were frozen, so Gou Liang could not feel the passage of time.
The Main System wanted to maintain the order of this world, so it hastily interfered and was rejected by the Law of the Main God of this world.
Rosen's recovery was the result of the burst of Main God's power.
This explanation seemed reasonable, but Gou Liang still felt that something was wrong.
However, he was more concerned about the price Rosen paid to win the Power of Darkness, and whether it harmed him.
Unfortunately, the Main System did not leave an answer for this question, and he could not contact it now.
Thinking about this, Gou Liang could not sit still anymore.
He hurriedly got up from the water, wiped his body, put on his sleeping robe, and walked out. When he opened the door, he saw Rosen right in front of him.
He raised his hand and was about to knock on the door when he saw Gou Liang's eyes widen slightly, and the look in his eyes deepened.
The water vapor on Gou Liang's body seemed to make the air humid in an instant. His nightgown was hastily tied into a loose knot, revealing a large portion of his white chest. Water droplets rolled down from the ends of his hair along the texture of his skin, across his chest, and rolled into the part of his vision that was blocked.
Rosen felt his nose itch for no reason, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
When he heard Gou Liang ask him what was wrong, he hurriedly covered his mouth and coughed, "I heard that you were in a hurry, and I was worried about you, so I came to take a look."
Gou Liang understood and took his hand to the bedside, saying, "I suddenly remembered that you personally touched that stone. That thing is really strange, and it might be harmful. It's just that it's still in the incubation period, so it can't be detected. I have to examine you personally, or else I won't be at ease. "
He was barefoot, and his footsteps were hurried. His frowning face was full of caution. Rosen saw how worried he was, and his heart warmed.
"I feel very good now. You don't have to be so nervous."
Rosen held his hand, but before he could feel it, Gou Liang pulled his hand away, turned around, and said firmly, "Take off your clothes."
"…?"
Luo Sen was stunned. Apparently, he did not expect such a request.
But when he saw that Gou Liang, who was acting like a rogue, had already opened the suitcase he brought, and squatted down to look for something to examine his body, Rosen could not help but sigh in his heart.
It was probably because the almighty image of the Lord God had been subverted. After learning that he had a big fight with his own nemesis, and that it was to the point where the Main System had to rush over to clean up the mess, Gou Liang felt very uneasy. Therefore, he did not hesitate to exchange for a top-notch recovery potion worth 100,000 points from the System. This potion could restore all the recoverable damage to the soul, and restore the Soul Power to its peak.
Although Gou Liang was not sure how effective this thing would be for the Lord God, only the best could make him feel at ease.
The System was simply stunned by his generosity. Was this still its stingy master? Had he been seen through?!
When he got the potion, he did not hear Rosen taking off his clothes. Gou Liang looked back at him and asked, "What's wrong? Are you still shy in front of Dad?"
Rosen came back to his senses, glanced at him, and then quickly took a bath towel from the bathroom and came back. "Dry your hair first. Don't catch a cold. I'm fine. It's okay to wait for a while."
With that, he squatted down and dried Gou Liang's hair. His movements were delicate and gentle, as if he had done it many times.
Gou Liang looked at him in a daze. Rosen's expression was no different from before, but for some reason, he felt a very familiar temperament that he had never felt from Rosen before.
… He seemed to have changed slightly.
Perhaps the situation when the Lord God came to him was too special. At that time, he was so weak that a little carelessness could destroy him, and he needed his care and protection. Gou Liang always felt that the feeling when he was with Rosen was very different from before.
Even when Rosen recovered his memory later, he naturally turned his curiosity and appreciation towards him into possessiveness and love. However, Gou Liang always felt that something was missing.
It was not that he did not like the clumsy and pure way he treated his feelings. He also knew that Rosen's love for him was 100% unreserved. Gou Liang could not explain why, but he could not help but look for something that he himself could not explain.
This made him feel uneasy when facing Rosen. He was always unconsciously stingy, teasing him but not willing to give him more. He liked him but did not dare to get too close.
But now, that bit of hesitation had been subconsciously erased by Lawson's tender affection.
Hmm, was it because he had not let Rosen recover his adult body?
Gou Liang thought.
That's right. That pair of clear eyes belonged to a child. Even when they were impulsive towards him, they were still clean and spotless. The feeling would definitely be different.
So … was he looking for trouble?
"Xiao Kener?"
Seeing that he was distracted, Rosen called him. Seeing that he came back to his senses, his expression was full of annoyance. He asked him, "What are you thinking about?"
Gou Liang touched his nose to hide his inexplicable guilty conscience. He smiled and shook his head, "Nothing. Looking at you up close, baby, I'm not used to your handsomeness. "
Rosen paused. He did not figure out if there was a deeper meaning in his words. He could only say, "I'll take it as a compliment."
"Of course it's a compliment. Like father, like son. How can my son not meet my aesthetic standards?"
"I didn't know you were obsessed with looks. Also, let me remind you, from a physiological point of view, my beauty has no causal relationship with you."
"… As expected, you were cuter when you were young."
Gou Liang snorted, but his face was full of smiles.
