Just then, Peja noticed that Asakura Riku had stopped walking. She asked him curiously, and at the same time, she emerged from the Dark Realm and came back to reality. Then she suddenly realized what had happened.

"Ah, it's the observatory, the place to look at the stars. Xiao Lu, if I remember correctly, you were discovered here when you were a baby, right?"

"Ah, someone heard me crying and then called the police."

Asakura Riku nodded with some emotion, while Peijia crossed her arms, looked at the astronomical observatory, and said softly:

"I don't know who your parents are, Xiao Lu. Since you're already here, why don't you go in and take a look? Come to think of it, I've never been there before."

"I remember this observatory seems to have been abandoned, I don't know if it's closed or not..."

Hearing Peja's words, Asakura Riku frowned slightly, seriously recalling that since the Impack crisis three years ago, many things differed from his previous memories. For example, a shrine had inexplicably appeared on the east side of the city, and "Burst Chronicle: Flash Hero" was re-airing from the first episode...

Well, the latter isn't necessarily a bad thing either.

This observatory is also a place where Asakura Riku's memory differs. Before the Impack crisis, it was a proper tourist attraction, and his friend even held a confession ceremony here, although the girl said she had to ask her boyfriend before deciding whether to accept.

Come to think of it, it seems that girl's boyfriend also liked my friend...

Ugh! Just thinking about it makes me want to scream.

Riku Asakura shook his head, banishing all these random thoughts, and then headed toward the observatory. Although it was abandoned, it wasn't such a bad thing given his current situation. Abandonment meant no one cared, and if no homeless person got there first, he could live there instead of wandering the streets.

Thinking of this, Asakura Riku quickened his pace and arrived at the observatory. He grasped the doorknob and shook it. Although the lock was rusty, it was still secure.

Still not wanting to end up homeless, Asakura Riku circled the observatory again and finally found two broken windows. They were clearly in disrepair and no one had bothered to fix them. Asakura Riku tried to put his hand in through the gap in the left window, but he couldn't reach the latch on the inside, so he went around to the right window and continued trying.

This time, he was very lucky and opened the window with ease. Excitedly, Riku Asakura threw his backpack in first, then nimbly slipped into the room. He was about to call Peja to come in as well when he saw that the Pegasa alien was already sitting inside, arms crossed, waiting for him.

“…”

For a moment, Asakura Riku fell silent. As for Pega, with his Dark Domain present, entering this room didn't seem to require much trouble...

"Ahem, um..."

Pei-Jia coughed awkwardly and said softly:

"I was going to call out to you, but seeing how hard you're working, I think I should respect you."

“Peja…”

Hearing Asakura Riku's words, Peijia couldn't help but shudder, then obediently stood up straight:

"I'm here."

"Look! There's Superman outside!"

Where? Where? Where?

Seeing Pega rush to the window and look outside, Asakura Riku revealed an 'evil' smile, his fingers twitching as he prepared to launch a tickling attack...

Wow! It's Flashy Man's suit!

"Really?! Where? Where? Where?!"

Instantly, Riku Asakura abandoned his tickling and rushed to Peggy's side. His two bright eyes, like radar, scanned the scene outside the window, searching for any trace of the Flashman suit, and then...

"Peja's Secret Technique: Tickling!!!"

Peja could easily see what Asakura Riku was about to do. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she decisively launched a counterattack. Asakura Riku was caught off guard and was tickled so badly that he ran around in circles in the room. Peja pressed her advantage and continued to tickle him. Laughter and cheers echoed in the abandoned observatory.

Just then, Asakura Riku, who had escaped to the window, suddenly sensed something. He turned to look out the window, and on the lawn, a faint, azure light suddenly shone, as if the earth had cracked open. Then, a streak of light shot out, and Asakura Riku, caught off guard, had no time to dodge. He was struck directly in the forehead, his eyes rolled back, and he fell straight down...

"Xiao Lu, stop fooling around, the ground is dirty... Xiao Lu? Xiao Lu?!"

361 Asakura Riku, don't want the transformation device.

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts...

Asakura Riku woke up with a throbbing headache. He instinctively wanted to rub his forehead to relieve the pain, but before he could do so, the pain disappeared, as if the discomfort had just been a hallucination.

That's so strange. Why did this happen? I can't believe my eyes, that streak of light definitely hit my forehead...

Asakura Riku muttered to himself as he propped himself up, and then...

What is this place?

Asakura Riku looked around in surprise. The silver-white walls, the high-tech decorations, and the platform in the center of the space didn't look like a dilapidated observatory at all!

"Peja? Peja!"

"I am here."

At that moment, Riku Asakura remembered his companion and quickly called out to her. Then, Peja's voice came from the corner. The pitiful sight of her curled up there left Riku Asakura completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

Peja noticed Asakura Riku's confusion and offered an explanation.

Just now, while they were chasing and playing around, Asakura Riku suddenly collapsed for some reason. Peja thought she had caused some trouble and wanted to rush over to see what was wrong.

However, in that instant, a bright blue light erupted from Asakura Riku's body, and his terrifying aura immediately pinned Peja to the ground, rendering her unable to move. At the same time, Peja felt an extremely dangerous gaze fall upon her, a gaze so cold and cruel that it seemed to be considering how to kill her.

But just as Peijia felt she was about to die, the unconscious Asakura Riku suddenly frowned and let out a painful groan, as if resisting something. Peijia also felt that terrifying gaze move away from her, as if it were looking at the surrounding environment.

Immediately, the azure light shone again, and Peijia felt an invisible and powerful force pulling her towards it. This caused Peijia to scream involuntarily. The despair of approaching death, which she had not experienced before, was now fully experienced by Peijia.

When Peja saw the suddenly rising, translucent pillar enveloping her and Asakura Riku, her life had come to an end. This Pegasa alien had already begun to pray that she could be reborn into a good family in her next life, preferably one where she could experience the kind of trouble where she could never spend all her money.

Ah, of course, Peja didn't forget her good friend Asakura Riku either, and also offered a prayer for him, hoping that while he was experiencing the same troubles, he could also have a harmonious and happy family.

Just as she finished praying, Peja heard a faint rumbling sound beside her ear. Thinking that her death was imminent, Peja immediately lay down, crossed her arms in front of her, and adopted a peaceful posture, as if she wanted to leave a good impression on future generations when they discovered her body.

but....

die....

It shouldn't feel like this...

Gradually, Pei Jia began to sense that something was wrong. He cautiously opened his eyes and looked around. He then saw that he and Asakura Riku had arrived in a dim space filled with a faint smell of burning. Asakura Riku's brow was shining with a bright blue light, which illuminated the space and emitted crystal-clear threads that disappeared into every corner of the space.

Then, as if brought back to life, the abandoned site was given a new lease on life. The high-tech decorations and the constantly flashing signal lights immediately caught Pei Jia's attention. Although Pei Jia had never seen this kind of technology system before, there was no doubt that it was not technology belonging to humans on Earth.

After the renovation of the technological space was completed, the strange light quietly dissipated, but an invisible force still lifted Asakura Riku and helped him rest on a bench nearby.

Then...

Then Peja hid to the side, quietly waiting for Asakura Riku to wake up. To be honest, Peja suffered quite a bit during this process because he really wanted to check the equipment here to see what secrets were hidden, but he was afraid that such an action would attract the attack of that mysterious power, so he could only stay there.

"Me? Radiance?!"

After listening to Pei Jia's account, Asakura Riku felt completely confused. He patted his body and pressed his forehead, but nothing unexpected happened. After a moment of silence, Asakura Riku tentatively slapped himself, trying to make some change with this aggressive behavior, but it was obviously ineffective.

Here, on the platform in the center of this space, a red sphere suddenly flew out. The sphere scanned everything around it and noticed the two people who were intently examining Asakura Riku's body.

Just then, a faint blue light flashed within the red sphere, and then it flew to Asakura Riku's side, circled him twice, and then emitted a mechanical voice devoid of any emotion:

"User detected. The base is deactivating sleep mode and activating normal mode."

"Who...who are you?!"

The sudden appearance of the red ball naturally made Asakura Riku and Peja very nervous. The two little ones straightened their bodies and stood still like soldiers at attention. After a quick exchange of glances, Asakura Riku asked in a low voice.

"I am a report management system; I only have voice, not physical form."

It seems like they are honestly answering our questions.

Upon hearing this, Asakura Riku and Peka quickly exchanged a glance. Then, Peka cleared her throat, which was sore from fear and nervousness, and continued asking questions:

"Then what place is this?"

"This is the central command center, located 500 meters underground at the observatory. Master, control of this base is now officially transferred to you."

"Master?!" x2

The word made Asakura Riku and Peijia exclaim in unison. They looked at each other, both seemingly puzzled. Asakura Riku thought for a moment, tilted his head, and whispered to Peijia:

"got the wrong person?"

"You've mistaken me for someone else!"

Peja replied in a firm tone.

"No, I did not admit my mistake."

However, this conversation did not escape the sensor of the red ball device, which immediately explained:

“My basic program code just told me that Mr. Asakura Riku, you are the master here.”

"what?!"

Asakura Riku scratched the back of his head, puzzled, and subconsciously asked:

"Who wrote that code? Why are you handing this over to me... Is there some task for me?"

"My basic code has been modified twice. There is no record of the author of the first generation code in my file. Also, since the system was paralyzed and unable to sense the outside world before, I have no record of the author of the second generation code either."

The report management system honestly answers the questions:

"As for the task, the system did have relevant execution code, but since the relevant triggering items do not exist and the code for that step has been temporarily sealed, the system is currently in standby mode and there are no background tasks to complete."

"This is really..."

Asakura Riku and Pega exchanged a glance, both looking helpless, but...

"Since we're already here, let's make the best of it. Let's think this through; at least we won't be homeless anymore!"
