William, filled with excitement at taking on the mission, completely forgot about his fatigue. "Rims! Did you hear that? We are heroes, true heroes! We are now the captain and vice-captain of the Fourth Investigation Team. Come on, let's search the place where we live now!"
Rims, however, was not as enthusiastic as William. In fact, after seeing the Alien UFO at dusk, he had already begun to regret not leaving the metropolis. He hesitated slightly and asked, "William, aren't you tired?"
Tired? William didn’t grasp the underlying meaning of his companion’s words and energetically replied, "Not at all! We are fighting against Alien Life; we need to find any information that human heroes might have left regarding them. What’s tiring about that?"
Rims stared at William in disbelief, having ample reason to suspect that William had secretly injected himself with Stimulant while he wasn’t looking. Otherwise, there was no way he wouldn’t be tired!
"William, you rushed over to Cross Street early this morning. We haven’t eaten anything for lunch or dinner! We’ve spent the entire day exhausting ourselves fighting against the Mobs. How could you not be tired? We’re just humans, not aliens!"
At this point, Rims suddenly realized something and felt a cold sweat break out on his back. The chilling sensation made him acutely aware of everything around him! He took two steps back.
His hand instinctively reached for his gun as he nervously fixed his gaze on William. "I—I need to confirm again: you really don’t feel tired? Or did you secretly inject Stimulant? Don’t joke around, William! Be serious! Answer me!"
If there was anything off about William, Rims promised himself he would draw his gun and shoot this suspected Alien Life disguised as a companion without hesitation.
William finally caught on and raised both hands in surrender to avoid being shot by his partner; such a death would be too ridiculous for him to accept. "Hey, buddy, calm down! Don’t misunderstand me. I’m just too excited! I’m really human and haven’t injected any Stimulant; it’s just that… you know, I got promoted and with the director’s approval… I got so thrilled that I forgot all about my fatigue. But now that you mention it, I suddenly feel very hungry."
Perhaps he really was hungry; William's stomach let out a perfect growl in response.
"Hahaha! This is hilarious! It used to have a sci-fi mystery vibe, but now I realize it's actually a comedy."
"This duo is just too funny, much more entertaining than when Pristo teamed up with William."
"I can understand William. That year was tough; I endured for several days, and in the end, the rewards were immense. I was so happy that I forgot all my fatigue and hunger."
William's response eased Rims' suspicions somewhat. "Sorry, you know that Alien Life can disguise itself as humans. I had to be cautious."
"Anyway, I'm exhausted. I suggest we at least have a good meal before investigating."
William wasn't keen on wasting time; after all, he was in high spirits at that moment. "How about we check out our living quarters? There might be plenty of food there."
Rims shot a tired glance at William and shook his head. "I refuse. Who knows if there are any Alien Life leftovers there? What if we eat something and end up turning into aliens?"
He pointed toward the convenience store that had just been broken into. "Anyway, this is the only convenience store I trust."
"Oh God, please let their microwave still work; I really don't want to eat cold food."
While William and Rims were having their late-night dinner, Xu Lie was also receiving a second report from Anthony.
"You want my living quarters?" Xu Lie's expression was somewhat amused.
Since the beginning of this Drama World, he had been living on the UFO. Where would he find a living space in the metropolis?
At most, he could arrange for Anthony to use his hacking skills to create some fake documents in the database.
