It's too late to marry a cat [Interstellar]

Yahuiquan was awakened by a very characteristic "alarm".

It's not the style of alarm clock he usually uses, it seems to be some kind of music, the source of the music is clearly not in his room, it sounds like it is coming from the living room downstairs, but it is extremely penetrating, the wall and door of his bedroom are in the Under the impact of this sound wave, it was like paper paste, completely unable to stop the high-pitched and loud voice.

"... Baili." Ya Huiquan sat up angrily with his forehead on his face. He held the responsibility of the electronic housekeeper, "Do you think I am the only living person in this room, and putting this kind of thing only disturbs me? Doesn't it constitute noise nuisance?"

"Good morning, master." The electronic butler was not afraid of the master's low tone and scary tone, first greeted politely, and then said, "I didn't think so, and you have a little prejudice against music, Music playing in the living room should not be classified as a noise."

Yahuiquan was abruptly dragged out of the dream, and when he opened his eyes again, his brain and ears were disturbed.

The breath of getting up mixed with the unhappiness of being disturbed simultaneously surged, making his face suddenly darker.

He wasn't fully awake yet, but his vocabulary and mouth were well prepared for at least two rounds of quarrel with the electronic housekeeper.

Baili pre-empted it and said, "Master, you brought back this music file."

Yahuiquan got stuck before his turn.

"I brought it back?" he asked back, his tone suspicious.

The electronic butler replied in the affirmative: "Yes, did you not rest last night? You should be familiar with this piece of music."

Dreams will keep people's cerebral cortex active during sleep. Many people will feel tired, tired, and even spiritually lost after waking up after a long dream.

Last night, Yahuiquan also received an uninvited visitor in his dream, recalling an acquaintance, and the cerebral cortex was active for a long time.

But strangely, he didn't feel tired after waking up, nor did he feel that he didn't have a good rest.

He only had an indescribable sense of being interrupted.

It's like... you fight and fight with a particularly difficult guy, but you never manage to win in a landslide.

So you worry about it, make preparations again, and plan how to play in the next mutual choke.

But there is no next one.

In the dream, I had a confrontation with a lively and annoying thing for the last time, and I was called out by the magic music played by the electronic housekeeper without authorization.

Very bad.

Still a little suffocated.

Yahuiquan had a sentence "Where did I get to know this kind of thing" on the tip of his tongue, he was fully awake at this time, and he could clearly hear the specific tune of the "noise" - he silently took that sentence back .

Baili was right. Yahuiquan himself should be familiar with this piece of music. He didn't fully wake up just now. He only remembered that he was woken up. He was very upset, so he didn't listen carefully to the content of the "noise".

"I deliberately chose to play it this morning because at [-] o'clock this morning, the Star Alliance Cultural Research Institute issued a public statement, saying that they had completed the work of 'tracing the source' of the material, and were pleasantly surprised to find that , this is a piece of music that can be traced back to the time of the ancient earth. It was already very old in the time of the ancient earth, and the instrument used to play it has an even longer history, dating back to the third century of the earth's era." Baili saw that the young master didn't answer for a long time For his own problem, he made a quick scan of Yahuiquan by himself, and took the initiative to confirm that the owner's values ​​were still within the healthy range, and then continued to speak, telling Yahuiquan the reason why he played music.

"This entire track, from the rhythm arrangement to the musical instruments, is an out-and-out rare cultural relic. It is one of the 'relics of a lost civilization' that has never been recorded in the Star Alliance database." Baili said, "The Academy of Arts and Sciences While announcing the results of the work, I also highly praise you and Glorious Wings for bringing back the information, expressing my high respect to you, thank you for your great contribution to the cultural field of the Star Alliance, and thank those who are willing to share information Friends who unite outside the territory. That's why I chose to play it at home to express respect and joy."

General Ya was so quarreled by the music just now that he almost got into a fight with the electronic housekeeper when he got up together. At this moment, he remembered that he really brought this thing back by himself, and he reluctantly showed some patience. After criticizing the music, he just lifted the clothes that Baili had arranged beside the bed with a forbearing face, and finally got up completely.

The young master slept through the morning today, and even missed the fixed exercise time perfectly. Baili considered the two options of "reminder" and "no reminder, and automatically push back the daily training menu" in his own program. Yu, the one behind, didn't mention anything, he just commanded the coffee machine on the bar downstairs and ground a cup of coffee for the person who started to go downstairs.

"Where is the cat?" Yahuiquan asked on the way downstairs.

"On the sofa in the small living room." Baili said, his tone still very relieved, "Compared with you, your cat spouse seems to be more tolerant of culture. Ever since I started playing music in the living room, it was originally in the sunshine. It took the initiative to come over while it was basking in the sun, and seemed to be very interested in this precious cultural relic-level music material, which is really very different from your first reaction."

Yahuiquan: "..."

I just want to know where my cat is, and I don't want to ask a question to bring out unnecessary criticism.

Sometimes Yahuiquan really can't figure out whether Baili's initial personality is set up wrongly, or after so many years of getting along, the other party has been misled by him.

Or maybe the two of them influence each other and promote each other, and if they continue to compete like this for decades, sooner or later both of them will win the reputation of "the most annoying person in the universe".

Standing on the stairs and thinking deeply for 2 minutes, Ya Huiquan was sure that he was not interested in competing for such a title. He decided to control this tendency as much as possible, so he ignored Baili, but he still accepted the direction guidance from the other party. Walked over to the living room, and successfully found the cat lying in a furry strip on the sofa cushion.

When Ya Huiquan sat down on the sofa, the cat moved, stretched on the cushion, and then slipped up the human lap with silent steps, and changed its favorite "territory" for itself with ease.

Yahuiquan stroked the fluffy hair on the back of its head: "A cat born in Monte, you can still hear things like this? Aren't cats very good at hearing, don't you think it's noisy?"

After all, Baili is not an artificial retarded person. Although he often opens his mouth to embarrass his master, he is still a competent electronic housekeeper.

The sound of the music floating in the living room has been tuned down a little by Baili, but because of the special nature of the instruments played, this kind of music is still very noisy no matter how low the decibels are controlled.

The cat lay on Yahuiquan's lap, and it gently swept the human hand with its tail.

Its hearing is indeed very good. For example, it was in the small living room on the first floor before people went downstairs, and it could already hear the conversation between the people upstairs and the AI, as well as the sound of people stepping down the stairs step by step. .

It's amazing, but it really doesn't think this noisy music is too harsh for people, and even thinks it sounds a little familiar, as if it's not an ordinary cat that was born and raised in Monte.

"Mi woo." The cat said to Yahuiquan.

It is intended to express the meaning of "although I don't know why, I should be an ordinary kitten, but I may not be ordinary".

However, because the generalization ability of cat language is too strong, even if General Ya has the ability to reach the sky, he can't decipher such a long string of words from a "mi".

Hearing from Ya Huiquan, he could only simply interpret this sound as "Yes".

This made him lower his eyes again, and his eyes fell on the color of the cat's fur.

Maybe it was because of the lingering prestige of the dream, he suddenly realized last night that the color of his cat's fur looks a bit like someone's hair, and today he woke up to look at it again, "a bit" directly became "very a bit", the more he looked, the more he looked like it.

...but it doesn't work.

He picked it up with his own hands. When he got home, it was only the size of a grown man's palm. It was a cat that could speak softly, meow, and play tricks.

His cat looks more and more like a little bastard who has stayed in memory. What's the reason?

In fact, Yahuiquan hadn't cared about Wo Xiu being called a "little bastard" for a long time. The captain's level of annoyance was first-rate, and Baili's level was not enough compared to the other party.

As a result, General Ya's name for Woxiu has also been updated. The title he gave to the other party has been upgraded every year, and the frequency of changing it on a monthly basis has been reached at the fastest.

But thanks to the "blessing" of the dream last night, Ya Huiquan picked up this initial title, and it is still used today without thinking.

He asked his cat again, "Don't you think the music is loud?"

The cat answered honestly: "Mi."

General Ya was thoughtful.

"Okay." He said after another short while, "Then your name is decided."

Similar hair color, similar eerie level of appreciation for music.

Yahuiquan threw aside the "what kind of reason" he had only thought about in a minute, caught the shadow of the same person and picked the wool, and decided to name the cat Li Dan.

The music evaluated by the owner as "weird in taste" is still reverberating in the room, and the owner has not turned it off yet.

Many years ago, at the end of that first encounter, Captain Woxiu, who was only 25 years old, left a deep impression on the members of Shining Wings, but not only because he made a dangerous move and remotely connected the entire Star Alliance in the blockade. The mechas of the mecha team forcibly swept down the two-digit pilots at the same time in the mental field of man-machine connection, and seized the timing when the commander-in-chief ship's fierce spiritual field swept over, and caught him in Yahuiquan. Before, they tore through the blockade extremely quickly and won the honor of "sprinkling black paint on the glory of the Star Alliance".

Also because he left a "gift" for General Yashang.

This person claimed that he came for the exam, the blockade of Yahuiquan was his exam question, and the Themis star area was his exam room.

After successfully breaking the defense, he no longer loves to fight, really like a candidate who leaves after the exam.

The team of mechas that Woxiu had invaded remotely had a small problem when they returned to their own mecha station for maintenance.

"General, one of the recovered mechas has found traces of the invasion!" The guards from the engineering department hurried to report to Yahuiquan.

Ya Huiquan suppressed the panic of the guards with a look.

When recovering this team of mechas, relying on the commander-in-chief ship, General Ya had already checked the core of each small mecha in the spiritual field, eliminating the risk of B-level and above.

This means that even if there is a legacy of intrusion in any of the small mechs, its risk will not involve the core, which is equivalent to a small implanted advertisement in the ancient earth period-it looks annoying, and it will take a little time to completely remove it. Small effort, but it is far from enough to cause harm, nor can it launch any attacks.

"Record the relevant data, and deal with it as you like." General Ya ordered the engineering department, and attached his harsh comment, "The commander of the Outer Territory United seems to have a bit of a puppy temper. After finally passing the obstacle course test, how happy is it? Forbidden, and leave some 'marks'."

After the engineering department analyzed the data and tried to clear up the leftovers, there was a very abrupt "beep", which was the sound of the loudspeakers on the entire command ship being woken up synchronously.

Suddenly, Ya Huiquan's eyelids twitched slightly.

He underestimated the face of the young commander of the Extraterritorial United.

"Hello, General Ya, I guess, when you first discovered the intrusion traces I left behind, you must have checked the core areas of all the mechas, and felt that this was a tiny trace like a small advertisement, which is not worth paying attention to. "

Wo Xiu's voice came from the command ship's loudspeaker, apparently it was a pre-recorded audio, and "clear legacy" was its activation password.

His voice echoed in every corner of the command ship, with a lazy tone and a smile in his voice.

"Please don't worry, your judgment is not wrong at all. This is indeed just an advertising program, and it is really just a piece of audio. Due to technical limitations, I can only connect to the audio port."

"What do you want to do?!" The person standing beside Yahuiquan asked in a deep voice.

As if the audio file would talk to him.

The audio file is of course not, it just plays in the order recorded by the producer.

The engineering department was busy, and was urgently analyzing how to close this program and restore the ship's radio to normal.

The young commander who forcefully posted a small advertisement continued: "I don't really agree with the slogan 'Spray black paint on the glory of the Star Alliance'. The invigilator sent a small gift——so General Ya, when you hear this, I’m afraid I have passed the exam. I heard that your surname is very ancient, and your bloodline can be traced back to the ancient eastern kingdom in the ancient earth period. , I have lived outside the territory for many years, and I have found some materials that are said to have been lost within the Star Alliance, and I am willing to donate some of them as the content of this audio gift."

General Ya's face was so cold that he could scare a platoon of children into tears—maybe adults could too.

He didn't want to accept the gift, he just wanted the little bastard to get out of the command ship's broadcast port.

It's a pity that the progress of the engineering department is slower than Wo Xiu's audio playback speed, and the clue has just been found there. Here, the audio has been played to the "gift content".

"This is an oriental piece of music from the ancient Earth period. Next, I invite everyone in the Star Alliance to enjoy it—Suona solo, "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix"."

"A small gift is not a respect."

Many people have heard the term "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix", but it seems that no one has seen the word "Suona".

The entire command ship fell into a brief silence.

Then, the musical instrument that no one had seen before rang loudly and loudly on the radio.

According to incomplete statistics, 80% of the people on the ship were regretting why they didn't cherish the tranquility of the last few minutes.
