He had to take over.
The man on the ground was clearly a bit scared, but still managed to get up with difficulty. At this mont, he didn’t dare to make eye contact with Chu River, avoiding his gaze, until he saw the electric light flicker again in Lei Yu’s palm.
He finally shut his eyes tightly and shouted out loud—
"Chu Hero, I know you’re the hero of the base, thank you for saving everyone’s future! But... but... can you return my computer to ? It’s really hard to buy one now, and you’ve borrowed it for more than three months!"
The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he beca, and his voice started to choke with sobs: "You clearly said you’d only borrow it for a little while..."
A grown man, eyes reddened, voice nasal with emotion, and for a mont even Lei Yu felt his scalp tingle, embarrassnt spreading all over him.
He looked left and right, then at Chu River who looked like she had been struck by lightning, and tried hard to diate—
"This... this isn’t very appropriate... well, the computer, right? I have one, if you need to use it urgently, go to my place and get it—no, I’ll call soone to send it to you right now!"
Just after he finished speaking, he saw another tear fall from the good man’s face with a patter, and he hastily wiped it away in his embarrassnt: "Sorry, I didn’t an to, but I really... I haven’t backed up the one terabyte of treasures on my computer!"
Chu River also frowned: "I told you I’d suffer grievances after losing my mory..."
She glared at the other person: "How was I supposed to know if the computer is yours, since I’m so easy to deceive now."
Lei Yu: ...
I don’t know if you’re easy to deceive, but this young man definitely isn’t lying.
The young man sobbed: "It’s mine, my treasures have numbers and nas, all carefully saved, and now it’s hard to find sothing this complete on the internet..."
Chu River recalled—after she ca to, she indeed did a lot with the computer, even tried to find her own files, but didn’t find anything, ended up watching that whole terabyte of treasures.
"You an... [n in Tight Suits] [Adventures of a Seventy-Year-Old Man] [Woman Stuck Under the Mountain] and that [My Unspeakable Emotional Exchanges with the Otherworld]?"
Lei Yu: ...
He glanced sideways at the soldiers following behind, mind thinking, it’s over.
This damn...
A lifeti’s reputation lost in one day, Chu River, this hero might only leave sothing out of the ordinary in the history books.
And the soldiers behind wore blank looks, expressionless, doing their best to pretend to be emotionless and thoughtless robots.
Because they didn’t know, if they let loose even a little bit, would laughter slip out and end their future careers?
Yet, the weeping young man suddenly got a bit shy: "You’ve watched them all? Which one did you like?"
Chu River nodded: "Yeah, I need to understand the world too... I watched them all, as for which one I liked... that man in the tight suit..."
Before she finished, Lei Yu tensed up and stepped in front of her: "Chu River, so things are explicitly forbidden to be spread in our country, don’t break the law knowing it’s illegal."
"And you!"
He glared at the man in front of him: "You dare to talk openly about this stuff, do you think no one will handle you during a major disaster? Cyber police don’t exist?"
The young man across couldn’t help but shrink back a bit.
But he quickly plucked up courage again: "I, I just ca to retrieve my own stuff, and by the way, discuss the plot with fellow enthusiasts, what does this have to do with cyber police?"
He tiptoed trying to see Chu River over Lei Yu’s shoulder: "So do you like Ultraman Tiga or Sai Luo?"
"Pfft!"
This ti, the soldiers behind indeed couldn’t hold it in anymore.
Lei Yu’s face stiffened, feeling like all the embarrassnt of his life was used up today.
"Ultraman Tiga?"
"Yeah." Chu River also peeked from his shoulder: "It is quite educational, Ultraman Tiga is great... only why doesn’t anyone’s superpower turn into Ultraman Tiga?"
Lei Yu stifled a mouthful of old blood in his chest.
He struggled to redeem himself: "[Adventures of a Seventy-Year-Old Man] what is it exactly?"
"Oh, this ahh, it’s [Huluwa], Huluwa’s grandpa was taken by the Snake Spirit, very thrilling and exciting! It’s a childhood mory of mine, so I placed it second."
"And Treasure Lotus Lamp, Digital Monster... wow, Captain Lei, do you like them too? I stored a whole terabyte!"
