I Rewrite the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the Starry Skies

[Xia Chujian]: "Leader Meng, why do you think it wasn't a natural gas leak that caused the explosion?"

[Meng Guanghui]: "I saw the data images received by the Special Security Bureau, which are no longer available online. That kind of explosion looks exactly like a controlled demolition. What kind of natural gas leak explosion could have that effect?"

Xia Chujian's heart tightened.

Could it be a controlled demolition?

That's too outrageous!

But the fact that the entire building was reduced to rubble was undeniable.

Xia Chujian didn't have any data to compare, so she didn't know which side to believe.

She composed herself and continued to ask.

[Xia Chujian]: "How do you know it was a natural gas leak explosion? Is that the official conclusion?"

[Meng Guanghui]: "The Fire Investigation Task Force of the Mulan City Punishment Department has closed the case, saying it was a gas leak and fire explosion caused by the aging natural gas pipeline system. None of the people in the building escaped, it's really tragic."

[Xia Chujian]: "Did they mention any other reasons?"

[Meng Guanghui]: "What other reasons?"

[Xia Chujian]: "For example, why didn't more than five hundred people in the building escape?"

[Meng Guanghui]: "...What do you mean? So, there was a special reason you were able to escape?"

Xia Chujian remembered when she was waiting at the hospital for Aunt and Wu Fu to come out of the emergency room, the Punishment Department had sent someone to ask her how she discovered the fire and escaped with her family.

She said at the time that she had been chatting with Yu Wangyou for a long time that night and couldn't sleep, so she noticed the fire across the street...

Now, to Meng Guanghui, she was just about to mention the Teflon Alkane, but suddenly remembered that Meng Guanghui didn't know she had the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, so she had to continue using her perfunctory explanation to the Punishment Department.

[Xia Chujian]: "Well, last night, I was talking to Yu Wangyou until very late, and I felt very depressed, so I couldn't sleep. As a result, I happened to notice something was wrong across the street. My family members fainted from inhaling too much dust. My family's Housekeeping Robot and I rescued them."

[Meng Guanghui]: "Then you really are lucky! You don't have a place to live now, do you? The bureau has temporary dormitories for employees. I've applied for a large suite for you, enough for a family of three."

[Xia Chujian]: "Oh, Leader, you're too kind! But my family has another house outside the city. Inspector Huo said to ask you for more guns and ammunition. I sent the list to Inspector Huo, did you receive it?"

[Meng Guanghui]: "Received it, so that's how it is. I just forwarded it to my secretary, Xiao Feng. What's the address of your new home?"

Xia Chujian sent the address of her new home to Meng Guanghui.

[Meng Guanghui]: "Done, Xiao Feng will use a drone to transport the items to you. You want so much, are you planning to build a small armory or something? Hahahaha!"

Xia Chujian: "..."

I didn't expect this leader to be quite perceptive.

But Xia Chujian couldn't possibly admit it.

[Xia Chujian]: "Leader, this little bit of guns and ammunition is enough for an armory? Are you looking down on me? My new home is outside Mulan City, with no security measures at all. I need these things to protect myself."

[Meng Guanghui]: "You're right to think that way. I'm busy here, I'll come see you when I get back."

Not long after finishing the call with Meng Guanghui, Ping Qiong and Song Mingqian knocked on the door.

Xia Chujian waved at them: "Cai Jie, Song Ge!"

Ping Qiong and Song Mingqian hurried in: "Where are your Aunt and Wu Fu? Haven't they come out yet?"

"Still in the Medical Cabin." Xia Chujian stood up, rubbed her neck, and said, "You guys wait for me here. If there's an emergency, notify me immediately."

She pointed to the Quantum Optical Brain watch carrier on her wrist, "I need to go home and see if I can salvage anything that hasn't been burned."

Ping Qiong nodded: "No problem, leave it to me."

She also asked Xia Chujian, "Really don't want Song Mingqian to go with you?"

Xia Chujian shook her head and stuffed the gun case into Song Mingqian's arms: "Just keep an eye on this for me."

She was wearing the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha under her coat, and in the pockets of her work jacket, she had the Qu Zhong 110 Handgun she had just taken out of the gun case.

With them, her sense of security was off the charts! Xia Chujian turned and quickly left.

The Housekeeping Robot Liu Shun saw this, and with Small Dog Si Xi in its arms, glided after her.

Ping Qiong said enviously: "I want to buy a Housekeeping Robot in the future too."

Whatever Ping Qiong said, Song Mingqian would always say "Okay, okay, okay."

He secretly noted that when he married Ping Qiong in the future, he would definitely buy her a Housekeeping Robot.

...

Xia Chujian boarded the Inner City Maglev Train and realized that Liu Shun and Si Xi had followed her.

Its delicate hemispherical mechanical head was now dented into a basin shape, but it had no problem speaking or walking, it was just that its appearance was a little unsightly.

Xia Chujian picked up Si Xi and comforted Liu Shun, "When Aunt and Wu Fu are discharged from the hospital, I'll find a master to fix your head."

Liu Shun was very well-behaved outside, not saying a word, not as talkative as it was at home.

The two took the Inner City Maglev Train from the hospital back to their old home.

Their old building, among a group of equally old buildings, had stood out as particularly clean and tidy, its exterior walls having been re-cleaned when Yu Wangyou's family renovated.

It was a real standout.

Now, the chickens were still there, but the crane was gone.

Aunt was right, a tree that stands out in the forest is sure to be felled by the wind.

Xia Chujian felt a pang of sadness.

She touched the large mask on her face, and the helmet visor she was using as sunglasses, as she walked along the narrow sidewalk back to the ruins of her building.

The eleven-story building used to house over five hundred permanent residents, but now it was just a pile of rubble.

By the time she returned, the Mulan City Punishment Department's Fire Investigation Task Force press conference was already over.

The ambulances, fire trucks, duty vehicles, and armed helicopters were all gone.

Only a group of sanitation workers were there, using various tools to clear the rubble.

The dense crowd of media that had been there before had also left, but there were more relatives and friends of those who had died in the fire, paying their respects.

In front of the massive pile of rubble were incense sticks, candles, flowers, fruit, and paper money.

Some people were kneeling there, weeping sorrowfully.

Xia Chujian slowly walked over, her eyes fixed on the pile of rubble, searching for the possible location of her home.

Their home was on the top floor, so it should be at the top when the building collapsed, right? Xia Chujian estimated the location and walked towards the tall pile of rubble on the left.

The sanitation workers hadn't cleaned that area yet, so it was relatively more intact.

Xia Chujian hoped that her family's belongings were in that area.

Holding Si Xi, she and Liu Shun climbed onto the pile of rubble.

A sanitation worker who seemed to be a leader saw her and shouted, "This is the working area of the Mulan City Sanitation Department! You can't come up here! That's a yellow warning line, didn't you see it?! If you want to pay your respects, go over there!"

Xia Chujian said coldly, "My home is right here. I'm coming back to get my own things. What's it to you?"

The man was startled, "Everyone here is dead! Where did you come from?!"

In broad daylight, there can't be a ghost, right! Xia Chujian was amused and angry, "Who said everyone here is dead? Go ask around! Thirty people weren't in the building at the time!"

And the three survivors, she didn't want to mention.

The man looked at her suspiciously, then pulled out his Quantum Optical Brain to check.

Sure enough, he then discovered that the fire investigation report did state that thirty people were not permanent residents and were not in the building at the time.

He said awkwardly, "...But it's collapsed like this, what can you find? Besides, even if you can find something, can you prove it's yours?"

"If I can't prove it's mine, can you prove it's yours?" Xia Chujian retorted righteously.

She lost her home overnight, her family was in the hospital, and she was already feeling bad enough, and now someone was constantly arguing with her.

The man puffed out his chest and said, "This place has already been acquired by the Red Locust Pavilion Construction Company. After these ruins are cleared, a new building will be built here. It doesn't belong to you anymore."

Xia Chujian clicked her tongue, "I'm afraid even the Red Locust Pavilion Construction Company wouldn't dare to say such a thing... We have a house deed. Can they just acquire it without asking the homeowners?"

The man's face turned red. He wanted to say that the homeowners were all dead, so who could they ask?

But then he thought that there were still more than thirty people alive, and if the dead weren't all from the same family, then there would be heirs.

He realized he had spoken too quickly and said something he shouldn't have, and was immediately choked with frustration.

Xia Chujian glared at him, ignored him, and continued to search through the ruins on her own.

Her Lily-of-the-Valley Purple Silk Hat and the Ability Defense Helmet issued by the Dark Night Hunter Association were usually stuffed in the gun case, so she had taken them with her earlier.

But her Nanomaterial Bodysuit Bulletproof Vest, the ivory white coat her aunt had made for her, and the matching woolen hat, she hadn't brought out.

Those were all particularly good things, maybe they were still there...

Small Dog Si Xi was calling "Wu Er Fu, Wu Er Fu," struggling to get down.

Xia Chujian was originally unwilling, because the ruins were full of dust, and it would easily get the Small Dog's fur dirty.

But on second thought, Small Dog was, after all, a wild animal. It wasn't right of her to raise it like a human.

So, after struggling with the thought for a while, she still put it down.

Small Dog immediately sniffed here and there, and started searching with her.

Xia Chujian found a synthetic metal towel rack from the bathroom in the ruins, and used it as a walking stick to rummage through the debris.

But after searching for a long time, she didn't see anything familiar.

Liu Shun followed behind her, trying to keep its balance on the ruins.

After a while, it came to a spot, extended its mechanical arm, and began to rummage through the rubble, saying, "Master, this is where our old home was."

Xia Chujian hurried over and asked, "How do you know?"

Liu Shun said, "In order to remotely control the household appliances at home, I connected to their systems. Now my remote control system senses that they are located below this position."

The household appliances of the Beichen Empire all have backup batteries for use after a power outage.

So Liu Shun could still contact those household appliances with the remote control system.

Xia Chujian said "Oh" and praised, "Liu Shun is so amazing! Luckily I have you!"

Liu Shun tilted its head. Although its eye display screen was now dented and the emotional expression lines could not be seen, Xia Chujian knew it should be very happy.

Xia Chujian began to dig at that spot.

Those household appliances, such as the TV, dishwasher, and refrigerator, must be broken and unusable.

Digging in step by step, Xia Chujian found the sofa, cabinets, wardrobe, bed, and even Small Dog Si Xi's pink little doghouse, all of which were ruined beyond recognition.

Si Xi wobbled over, saw it, and "wu"ed softly, and it was clear that it was also very sad.

Xia Chujian touched its head, squatted down, and continued to rummage through the pile of rubble that was almost black ash.

After searching for an hour, she finally found her wardrobe.

The cabinet had long been torn apart, with only a pile of messy things buried under the building materials.

She didn't have many clothes. Most of them were work clothes and hunting clothes issued by the Dark Night Hunter Association.

The shock wave from the explosion and the fire had destroyed these clothes.

But as she flipped through them, she found that the uniform issued by the Special Security Bureau was actually intact!

It was just very dirty and covered in dust.

It didn't matter, it had to be put away, and it could be worn after washing.

Further down, the Nanomaterial Bodysuit Bulletproof Vest that Zong Ruoan had sent back before, the ivory white wool coat that Aunt had made, as well as the wool hat, and the alien beast fur coat issued by the Dark Night Hunter Association, were all intact!

Xia Chujian was overjoyed and quickly worked with Liu Shun to dig out these clothes.

Finally, she also found the Face Mask that she had scratched! This is the third update, an extra update for the 1200 monthly tickets in May.

There will still be three updates tomorrow.

There will be a new update at 0:05 tonight.
