Chapter 138 Super Fat Chapter
Midnight, Capital Academy of Sciences.
Although it is called the Academy of Sciences, it actually covers a large area. It is built on a huge island and is surrounded by seawater as an isolation zone. It can almost be called a country.In addition to the outer military defense system of the capital, an internal defense system independent of the capital's mastermind was also built.Speaking of which, the safety factor is even higher than that of the palace.
The Academy of Sciences is divided into different areas according to different majors, and almost all Heng Yun's new technologies and scientific research projects are incubated here.In this special period, targeted drugs for parasitic diseases are also being intensively developed here.
As a specially injured person, He Zhun should have been detained elsewhere, but because he had stayed at the Stigma Research Institute of the Illusionary God Religion and had extremely outstanding professional abilities, Pei Changyun ordered him to be secretly detained in the Academy of Sciences.
It's just that He Zhun has not participated in the development of targeted drugs, nor has he entered any professional laboratory. He has been locked up after being asked about some information about the stigmata.
But the treatment is very good. Three meals a day are delivered on time. They are not just nutritional solutions but food cooked by a private chef.Regular physical examinations and treatments are also provided.It's just that he has lost contact and information with everything outside, and no one has told him how long he will be detained here.
Wow...
The young man's pale finger bones turned over a brand new page of the book, his fingertips passed over the densely packed professional vocabulary, and finally landed on a string of genetic code words.
Something went wrong here.
He Zhun picked up the pen, circled the clerical error in the middle, and made revision comments next to it.During the month after the First Legion returned and during the month he was imprisoned at the Academy of Sciences, he was revising this book.The originally anxious mood gradually calmed down during the reading process.
This book is a basic medical textbook with very complicated content. He Zhun spent almost all his time on revision, and it took him two full months to barely complete the first preliminary revision.
——This is a book compiled by his father.
It was Zhou Jiuya who gave it to him.
On the first night of his capture, the commander of the Empire's First Legion came to apologize to him in person.
[Sorry, I was late that night.]
[It’s just that you were too young at the time and don’t remember anything.]
He Zhun is still alive, but he doesn't remember his dead family members or the bloody hatred.In the eyes of everyone at the time, this was the only lucky thing.
Not remembering painful memories means that he doesn't have to carry them, and it means that he can start over.
Everyone thought that the young He Zhun didn't remember, so no one mentioned it again.
He Zhun was raised in the Jiang family. After Jiang Jin's death, his custody rights were transferred to Zhou Jiuya's name along with Jiang Ci.According to Jiang Jinsheng's plan, He Zhun was supposed to be well protected and grow up in the safest greenhouse like Jiang Ci.
It's just that no one knew that the child had lied and hid it so deeply and well. Later, a person secretly took revenge and finally got to where he is today.
[This is a textbook manuscript that your father originally sent to a medical school. It has not had time to be revised.I found the electronic version of the record here and just asked the logistics department to print it out.There are also some other old things, but they are all placed in Hengyun Star.]
Zhou Jiuya handed He Zhun a book.
[……Thanks.]
He Zhun took the book.
Back then, He Qichu kept his name anonymous and changed his surname to Zhao. He was a skilled Dr. Zhao. At that time, he treated a patient who was sentenced to death by the Capital Hospital. He suddenly became famous and was even contacted by a medical school to invite him to compile a new textbook.
However, during the subsequent political purge, Dr. Zhao was labeled as a spy, splashed with dirty water, and stigmatized. Naturally, the medical school no longer dared to use the textbooks he compiled, let alone proofread and revise them, and even directly concealed the incident.thing.
This manuscript, which could not be edited, was now produced by Zhou Jiuya and then transferred to He Zhun.
Unlike Jiang Ci, who cannot remember his father's appearance, Brigadier He has all the details of his childhood clearly engraved in his mind, and he recalls them countless times every day to prevent him from forgetting.When his father compiled this textbook, He Zhun remembered that he could only understand the words in the catalog, but he had no idea what it meant. But now, he can revise every detail, even the content.additions and deletions.
only……
The young man paused with his pen and frowned slightly.
He read it over again and found that the errors in the annotations were a bit strange.Moreover, the arrangement of the content and the detailed treatment of certain professional knowledge are also somewhat unreasonable.
In fact, this is a normal phenomenon in textbook compilation. The first edition usually has many problems. Even the content compiled by the most professional scholars must go through layers of revisions before it is published.
But the only unreasonable thing is that some of these mistakes are too low-level.Moreover, the order of the catalog deviated slightly from He Zhun's memory.
——This is not right.
He Zhun was sure something went wrong.He flipped through it again, pondered for a moment and then immediately rang the call bell.A few minutes later, the caregiver came in,
"Hello, Mr. Xiaohe, do you need anything?"
The sound insulation here was very good, but the moment the door opened, He Zhun keenly heard the sound of warships flying outside.The Academy of Sciences generally does not allow troops to enter unless it is an emergency martial law situation.
Emergency martial law in the capital?
The young man's face darkened.
Something must have happened outside!
But He Zhun couldn't leave, nor could he get more information about the outside world, so at this moment he just smiled and said to the other party,
"I want an optical brain, one that is not connected to the Internet."
He Zhun has a handsome and gentle appearance, and when he smiles he is very approachable and makes people unguarded.At this time, the young man picked up the thick professional book in his hand, showing a helpless and distressed look.
"The Legion Commander asked me to help proofread and revise this book. He said that it may be helpful for special medicines, but it is too thick and the human brain alone will process it too slowly, so..."
The caregiver was a little embarrassed, but nodded.
"Okay, I'll apply."
Boom.
The door is closed.
The smile on He Zhun's face faded, and he sat expressionlessly on the table, turning page after page.At the same moment, I also dug out all the memories and searched for them one detail at a time.
Ten minutes later, the caregiver delivered a brand new optical brain.There is no Internet access, and a monitoring device is installed inside.
"Thank you for your hard work."
He Zhun smiled and thanked him.
He understood the other party's distrust of him, but his goal had been achieved. He only needed an optical brain to assist in re-editing the textbook.
At the same time, Nine Crows on the periphery of the Academy of Sciences also hung up the communication.
"Legion Commander, is it really okay to give him a light brain?"
The adjutant's tone was very worried;
"You obviously didn't say anything about that manuscript..."
Zhou Jiuya raised his hand and Li Ya fell silent.
"It doesn't matter, just keep an eye on him. All the old things left by He Qichu back then have been carefully checked, including the textbook manuscript sent to the medical school. Later, many medical experts also found it for appraisal. The final conclusion was that except for some normal clerical errors,Other than that, there are no questions, and it is just a simple basic medical textbook.”
As for all other information about the Huan Shen Cult, He Qichu took the initiative to destroy it in order to remain anonymous. He even performed facial and body plastic surgery on himself to hide it.
If it weren't for the purpose of curing Jiang Ci, He Qichu would not have been found out with his cleverness.As for the treatment of Jiang Ci, according to the original agreement between He Qichu and Jiang Jinsheng, it was a top secret between them, and only He Qichu knew about the treatment process.Because once exposed, the Illusion God Church will hunt him down at all costs.
But the final result was indeed as the man expected.
Zhou Jiuya closed his eyes and suppressed the long-lasting memories.He strode out of the Academy of Sciences with a gloomy look on his face.
"I'm going to the palace now. You can guard this place."
"yes!"
The adjutant stood solemnly and watched as Wan Jiang turned into a falling star in the bright snowy light and arrived at the palace.
An hour later, Zhou Jiuya strode down the apron of the palace.The female officer has already led a group of people to wait below.
"Lord Legion Commander,"
The female officer lowered her eyes respectfully,
"The young master has fallen asleep in the room. Your Majesty said that the palace is not safe, so please take him to the Academy of Sciences for placement."
"Um."
Zhou Jiuya didn't stop, walking towards a familiar place by a familiar road.
Compared to the large and empty Jiang family, Jiang Ci preferred the palace when he was a child.Because there are many people here who can accompany him.The gentle Uncle Changyun was closer to him than the serious and upright Zhou Jiuya.Therefore, there is a special room reserved for him in the palace.
Wow——
Zhou Jiuya pushed open the door and entered, his original stride slowing down.
Jiang Ci fell asleep lying on the workbench. Next to him was an empty cup with some unfinished milk in it.The huge optical brain screen in front is still rapidly shuttling countless complicated code data flows.Nora was standing by and had just put a blanket over him.
Zhou Jiuya walked over slowly and stood not far away, because the Zerg girl was staring at him coldly.
"It's not safe here,"
The man spoke softly,
"I'll take him away, to a safe place."
"..."
Nora looked at him steadily for a few seconds, her dark purple vertical pupils dilated slightly, as if she had received some signal, so she blinked slowly and took a step away.
Zhou Jiuya was finally able to step forward. Only then did he see Jiang Ci's face. His brows were slightly wrinkled. He was sleeping uneasily, as if he was having a nightmare when he was a child.The legion commander was silent for a few seconds, then reached out and wrapped him carefully in a blanket, then picked him up and strode out of the door.
Nora followed suit.
"Well……"
Jiang Ci could feel that he was being carried away by someone, but his brain was confused and his eyelids were heavy and he could not open them.
Because of years of training and treatment and the use of inhibitors, Jiang Ci is often exposed to sedative drugs, so he can clearly distinguish between sleepiness during pregnancy and sleepiness caused by drugs.The gradual development of drug resistance in his body allowed him to retain a trace of consciousness while falling asleep.This feeling is like a ghost pressing on the bed. Although the consciousness is still there, it can't wake up.
Something is wrong...everything is wrong...
Wake up... you have to wake up immediately...
Jiang Ci felt as if she had sunk into the deep sea, and all perceptions of time and space were infinitely reduced or even erased.
He seemed to see many, many people's faces.
First, there was He Zhun sitting on the hospital bed.
[The Pope must have some greater use for keeping Cecilia.]
[The biggest threat to the Pope is Huo Xianfeng, and Pei Changyun second. Which one do you think he will attack first?]
Then there was Huo Xianfeng, his face was dim and unclear, as if he was about to disappear into the darkness.
[Ah Ci, Pei Changyun is hiding something from me.]
[Huo Chao is dead, and the only person I can trust is you.]
Finally, there is the father.
It was the father whose face was blurred in Jiang Ci's memory.
In fact, there are many photos of Jiang Jinsheng at home, and there are even photos of Jiang Jinsheng in many magazines, biographies of great people, and even history books.
But Jiang Ci couldn't remember that person's face no matter what.But at this moment, my father's face finally became clear.His eyebrows were clear and handsome, and his crimson eyes were filled with a special kind of tenderness, like the last spark that was about to be extinguished in the broken ashes.
The father touched the child's head and said to him,
[Ah Ci, if you can’t become good friends with Brother He Zhun, then you will have to solve this code game by yourself.]
Then, the stubborn Jiang Ci locked himself up and solved the code game, but also missed the death of that person.
Buzz——
The silver eyelashes trembled rapidly, and Jiang Ci suddenly opened his eyes.He struggled to sit up, breathing heavily, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, as if he had finally broken free from some terrible nightmare.
"you……"
When Jiang Ci heard a familiar voice, he turned around suddenly, his eyes sharp for a moment, but when his eyes touched a familiar face, he suddenly became startled again.
——It’s Dr. Wen.Foolishly sucks into the pile.
"Are you awake... Ah Ci?"
Jiang Ci didn't answer. He looked at the other party intently, not missing the surprise and nervousness on Dr. Wen's face.He quickly scanned his surroundings.
At this time, Nora noticed that he was awake, and immediately came over and rubbed Jiang Ci's palm intimately. This action made Jiang Ci feel a little more at ease.He looked up at Wen Xubai, his voice hoarse after a nightmare,
"Where is this?"
This is not a palace.
It seemed that he did not expect that he would wake up so soon. Dr. Wen was quickly organizing words to comfort him.
"You're too tired, Ah Ci, take a good rest now."
"..."
Jiang Ci was silent for a few seconds and then suddenly spoke,
"Nora, open the windows and curtains for me."
A few seconds later, followed by a "swish" sound, dazzling sunlight poured in, making Jiang Ci reflexively cover it with his hands and close his eyes.
The breeze carried the moist breath of sea water and drifted in faintly from outside.
Jiang Ci was stunned for a few seconds, and immediately realized that this was the Academy of Sciences, and it was already dawn, which meant that he slept all night, and Huo Xianfeng should also have stayed in the palace all night and has not come back yet.
Jiang Ci immediately took out Baize,
"Contact Forbidden Abyss."
A few seconds later, Bai Ze spoke solemnly,
"Ah Ci, Chang Meng has activated signal blocking and cannot contact you."
"..."
Jiang Ci closed her eyes, turned to ask Nora,
"Can you contact Huo Xianfeng?"
"..."
Nora shook her head.
Jiang Ci pursed her lips and asked carefully,
"When did you start losing contact?"
"last night."
"what did he say?"
"Protect Huahua."
"..."
After receiving this reply, Jiang Ci said nothing and asked no more questions. He immediately got up from the bed and strode out.
The situation was obvious. When Zhao He brought a group of people to them last night, it was not to discuss matters or to help decipher the chip. The fundamental purpose was to let Huo Xianfeng enter the palace, while Jiang Ci had to stay at the Academy of Sciences.
What kind of situation would make the emperor insist on separating the two of them?
What must Cecilia be present for the three of them to talk about?
What could make Huo Xianfeng stay in the palace for a whole night, not come to him for such a long time without talking to him, and even have the contact with the Zerg spiritual network cut off?
When Huo Xianfeng said that Pei Changyun was hiding something from them, Jiang Ci had a worst-case prediction that he couldn't think deeply about, that is, the church might fall apart.But according to Jiang Ci's understanding of Pei Changyun over the years, His Majesty the Emperor is not a person who is easily instigated.
But the current situation made him feel very uneasy.
Very very uneasy.
At least this kind of deception and Huo Xianfeng's loss of contact have made Jiang Ci unable to calm down.
"Wait! Wait A Ci!"
Dr. Wen tried hard to stop him,
"This is His Majesty's order. The palace is not safe. You need to stay here now..."
"Step aside!"
This was the first time Jiang Ci spoke to Dr. Wen in such a cold tone.
"..."
Wen Xubai was shocked.
Click!
The door opened and Zhou Jiuya came in.
"Calm down, Jiang Ci."
The alpha's majestic voice made Jiang Ci turn around, but he did not feel intimidated or give in because of the other party's appearance. Instead, he raised his head and looked over coldly.
"I want to go back to the palace to see him."
"no."
Zhou Jiuya's tall figure stood at the door.
"Now is not the time. You have to wait. I promise, you will see him."
"..."
Jiang Ci stared at him for a few seconds and said softly,
"What if I say no?"
Jiang Ci has already been deceived by his father once, and he will never experience this kind of thing again, even as a protected person.
Zhou Jiuya's face was expressionless, but the faintly bulging cheeks showed that he had clenched his back molars.A few seconds later, the legion commander's eyes were cold and gloomy, and he scolded with a majestic voice,
"Jiang Ci, this is an order!"
"……Order?"
Jiang Ci took a step back.
He deliberately changed into a military uniform when he went to the palace, and he is still wearing it now.The next second, he tore off the badge representing the major general in front of Zhou Jiuya and threw it at Zhou Jiuya's feet.
He said coldly,
"Then you can expel me from the military now."
"Jiang Ci, you...!"
Zhou Jiuya was extremely angry, but before he could finish his words, he saw Jiang Ci pull out the Baize pendant, transform into a spear and smash the window with one blow.
Snapped!
The sound of shattering glass instantly echoed throughout the room.Zhou Jiuya's expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward to catch him. At this moment, Jiang Ci turned over and jumped out of the window -
"Nora, hold him down!"
"Varied……"
The man's pupils dilated, reflecting the oncoming punch.
boom!
The Zerg's power quickly gained a unilateral advantage, and Zhou Jiuya could only barely use his tens of thousands of generals to fend off the attack one after another.His peripheral vision swept across the window, his expression extremely ugly.
"Damn-"
Zhou Jiuya didn't expect Jiang Ci to wake up early, otherwise he should have taken Bai Ze away.But it's too late now and can only be remedied.
"General Wan, order immediate emergency control of the skies above the Academy of Sciences and arrest Jiang Ci, but no one is allowed to use any destructive thermal weapons."
"yes."
On the other side, Jiang Ci turned over and jumped out of the window, inserted his spear into the wall, and slid down.Just as he was about to deploy his mecha and forcefully break through, Xiao X's voice suddenly sounded.
"Ah Ci, I received the ASX signal!"
Jiang Ci was suddenly startled.
——That’s He Zhun.
One month after the kidnapping case, He Zhun came back. Jiang Ci hugged the man and cried loudly, and vowed to protect him well in the future. So before making Little X into a mecha, he first made a super for He Zhun.Signal transmitter.
[He Zhun, next time you are in danger, just click this and I will come to you no matter where you are.]
This is the first time He Zhun has used it in so many years.He didn't even use it when the other party fell from an altitude of 10,000 meters in the broken rescue cabin.This shows that the situation now is worse than then.
Jiang Ci gritted his teeth and asked,
"where?!"
Xiao X quickly exported the circuit diagram.
"It's very close. Turn left a hundred meters ahead and go down."
Jiang Ci didn't hesitate, and immediately turned around. He quickly took off his military uniform jacket and threw it away in the opposite direction.Then he turned around and sneaked into a room, then put on a white coat and the tightest protective clothing to cover his face.Now is the outbreak of parasitic disease, so dressing up like this is inconspicuous.
He probably followed Huo Xianfeng into Bai Gucheng once. Jiang Ci was very skilled at this kind of thing.
Zhou Jiuya thought Jiang Ci would go to the palace immediately, so the searching guards also headed towards the exit.However, at this time, Jiang Ci had already moved towards He Zhun's position.
At this time, the young man was looking at the densely packed words on his brain while wrapping the wound on his elbow with the torn cloth.He sewed the signal transmitter given by Jiang Ci into the flesh of the inside of his elbow, and made a biological mask so that no matter whether he was in the Huan Shen Cult or captured by the First Legion, it would not be discovered by any machine scan.abnormal.
drop
It was the sound of opening the door. It was not meal delivery time at this time. He Zhun reflexively turned off the optical brain, but when he turned around, he met a pair of familiar eyes.
The two looked at each other for three seconds without saying anything.Then He Zhun quickly stepped forward and helped Jiang Ci drag in the two unconscious guards at the door.
Boom——
The door is closed.
He Zhun did not wait for Jiang Ci to ask, nor did he ask why Jiang Ci was dressed like this or why he appeared here so quickly. He directly took out the optical brain, opened it, and showed him the things rearranged inside.
"To make a long story short, this is the message left by my father. Time was too tight, I only got the first half of it, but it was too late, so I had to tell you right away."
All errors in the manuscript are prompts for rearrangement.
Following the prompts, He Zhun eliminated large tracts of redundant content and rearranged the key information, and then obtained part of the key information left by He Qichu.
He Zhun skipped the intermediate professional knowledge and directly gave Jiang Ci the conclusion.
"Huo Xianfeng's extracted nerve fluid was injected into Huo Chao's body. This injection is different from the way other believers feed the stigmata. Instead of feeding the stigmata, it is injected directly into Huo Chao's brain. So this is Huo Chao's brain.Chao's appearance and strength are gradually approaching that of Huo Xianfeng. In other words, he is sucking Huo Xianfeng's life."
"The Pope's plan is not to use Huo Chao to create a god, nor is he to treat Huo Chao as some beloved child. Huo Chao is just his tool. That person's purpose is to use Huo Chao to replace the King Insect, thereby achieving the purpose of plundering the entire Zerg race."
He Zhun spoke very quickly, but his words were clear.
"The reason why it was passed through Huo Chao is because the Stigmata that the Pope can control cannot invade the bodies of the Zerg and can only control humans. Other humans cannot accept the nerve fluid of the King Insect, only Huo Chao can. So Huo Chao is the so-called Son of God.As for your mother Bai Min, she was only chosen to be the mother body for cultivating the next Huo Dynasty because of her superior genes."
He Zhun grabbed Jiang Ci's hand with solemn eyes.
"Jiang Ci, has Huo Xianfeng ever told you about the degradation of the Zerg race?"
"..."
Jiang Ci's lips trembled slightly, but she still nodded.
"Well, I don't need to explain this to you. In short, Marshal Huo Chao asked my father to find a way to reverse this process. Then they spent a long time looking for a way."
He Zhun pointed to the red fragment in the optical brain,
"You probably don't understand the specific principle of reversal. Let me give you an analogy. The original relationship between Huo Chao and Huo Xianfeng was parasitic. He absorbed Huo Xianfeng's power, so the latter would die. If you want to reverse this process, it has to be the other way around, do you understand?”
"……in turn?"
"Yes! The other way around. But the process is far more complicated than this, and Huo Chao alone is not enough."
He Zhun shook his head gently
"Ah Ci, do you know why the only high-level Zerg you see are Huo Xianfeng and the little girl next to you?"
"Why?"
"——Because most of them sacrificed themselves for the king."
"..."
Jiang Ci suddenly paused.But He Zhun didn't stop. He looked nervous but tried to stay calm.
"The reason why Huo Xianfeng was in human form at first was because he had not completely digested Huo Chao's part, so when Huo Xianfeng fully regained his power, Huo Chao's part would be completely eliminated."
"But this process has not been completed yet, so in theory, Huo Chao is still parasitic on him. This is Huo Xiangfeng's only weakness now. Ah Ci, they go up and down. Huo Chao is dead, Huo XianfengTo live.”
He Zhun took a deep breath,
"So based on this information, I speculate that the Huan Shen Cult's cloning may be a cover-up or a political attack. Their real trump card is to let Huo Chao replace the king insect again. You know, Huo Chao is also Pei Changyun's Achilles' heel. So that's it.It can both drive a wedge and kill two birds with one stone..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Ci suddenly stood up and took a step back.
"He... He Zhun, thank you, no, yes... I'm sorry, I have to go."
"Ah Ci?"
He Zhun was stunned.As he spoke, he suddenly reacted,
A few minutes after his signal was clearly sent, Jiang Ci arrived and said that the other party was here to begin with and even sneaked in.Also, Jiang Ci is obviously pregnant. In this case, why is Huo Xianfeng not by his side?
He rushed forward, grabbed Jiang Ci's hand, and pulled him back.
"Wait, Ah Ci, calm down first."
He Zhun wanted to ask why he suddenly noticed the other party's dress.
"This kind of protective clothing..."
Because He Zhun was imprisoned, other than knowing about the outbreak, he knew nothing about the transmission route, clinical symptoms, or other information.But it is obvious that the parasitic disease that broke out in Heng Yun is a derivative of the Stigmata.
In order for a believer to inject the stigmata, a professional syringe needs to be pierced directly into the heart. However, if an epidemic is to break out, then a simpler method of transmission must be chosen, and Jiang Ci's special protective clothing is enough to read a lot of things...
"Ah Ci, don't leave in a hurry. Calm down first. Let me ask you a few questions. Are the current transmission routes of parasitic infections through contact, food, water, air, and blood and body fluids?"
"Everything but air...everything."
This affirmative answer immediately made He Zhun's face look ugly, and he continued to ask,
"Then... then you said before that His Majesty killed the clone of Marshal Huo Chao. So... did he get blood splashed? Or did others, people close to him, get splashed with blood?"
"..."
Jiang Ci was suddenly stunned.
"Yes... yes, a lot."
very many.
When a person's head is cut off, blood spurts from the arteries can reach several meters.It can be said that Pei Changyun's whole body was almost washed with blood that day.And... Huo Xianfeng, who was standing next to him, was also splashed.
Jiang Ci's face turned pale, and he felt a sense of terror running up his back like an electric current.
"So that's it..."
He Zhun closed his eyes.
——So that’s it.
He had always felt that Huo Chao's clone would never be that simple, but the result turned out to be like this...
Who would have thought that the clones created by the Illusion God Cult with so much effort and painstaking efforts would be killed just for them to be useful.
He Zhun took a deep breath, already preparing for the worst.
"Ah Ci, I think it is possible... His Majesty is infected. If he is really infected, then the royal warship he is riding on and even the entire palace may be infected... You'd better tell Legion this guess now.long……"
"he knows."
Jiang Ci's voice dropped to a freezing point.
"He told me the palace was dangerous."
"..."
He Zhun was silent.But before he could think of a countermeasure, Jiang Ci suddenly pushed his hand away.
"He Zhun, I'm sorry, I have something else to do."
He Zhun failed to hold him back.
"Ah Ci——!"
But Jiang Ci could no longer hear his words.
If he had trusted his Uncle Changyun before, he would never do such a despicable thing.But it would be different if that person had a stigmata in his body.
If Huo Chao comes back to life, Huo Xianfeng will die.
This is the only weakness of the mighty king.
And now, this weakness has been seized upon by those people.
Jiang Ci ran into several guards who were searching for them. Without hesitation, he was knocked unconscious in two or three blows.Just then he heard footsteps running behind him.
"Ah Ci, the Academy of Sciences has been blocked..."
He Zhun was breathing heavily. It was obvious that keeping up with Jiang Ci was a heavy burden on him.
"You know, even Bai Ze would have a hard time breaking the defensive barrier from the inside, let alone the air blockade. Moreover, the people you are facing are imperial soldiers. If you are not careful during the battle, people will die."
"..."
Jiang Ci looked up at him. After a few seconds of silence, he said firmly,
"You have a solution!"
After all, He Zhun has worked here for nine years and has a high level of status. He must know some secret way.
The young man gasped and smiled, stretched out his hand,
"Call Brother He Zhun and I'll think about it."
"..."
Jiang Ci slapped his hand away with a "pop",
"Let's wait until you actually take me out."
"Okay, I'm recording."
"..."
Ten minutes later, the two appeared in He Zhun's original office.Under the table, there was an alpha who was tied up and knocked unconscious.
This is the competitor of He Zhun that Jiang Ci mentioned before, named Wei Jun.After He Zhun's accident, the other party took his place.
Jiang Ci stared at the alpha on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face for a few seconds, then carefully wiped his hands with disinfectant, showing a slightly disgusted look.He couldn't stand the smell of other alphas now.
"...He Zhun, are you sure this isn't public revenge?"
"of course not."
He Zhun's tone was decisive. He found the other party's identity key and took away some other things that seemed useful, even carrying a big bag.
"Researchers of this level will have a secret key, which can be used to enter the underground escape tunnel in an emergency. It leads all the way to the bottom of the sea, and it is also the only place that will not be blocked by the defensive barrier. But after it is opened, the central mastermind of the Academy of Sciences willWill find out."
He Zhun connected Yinhuan to the interface connected to the main brain in the office, and spoke in a gentle tone,
"I can only ask our little X to help hold it off for five minutes."
Jiang Ci didn't stop him and just nodded to Xiao X.
Little
drop
After He Zhun pressed the secret key, the smooth wall on the side suddenly opened.He looked back at Jiang Ci,
"Let's go Ah Ci, we only have five minutes."
When the two left the Academy of Sciences secretly, Zhou Jiuyao was still pinned to the ground by Nora.
Nora was first fed in Mingcheng for three months, and then fed well by Jiang Ci in the Jiang family for another month. She was no longer the weakling that Cecilia could beat away.
She is very strong now. At least she can hold Zhou Jiuya down with one hand without any problem.
Therefore, even when the legion commander unfolded his mecha, Nora followed him into the cockpit because of the close distance, so he continued to press him on the ground of the cockpit.
The power of the Zerg is directly against the mecha, and no matter how powerful the alpha is, it is impossible to have the same power as the mecha. This has led to the situation where the legion leader cannot be pinned to the ground by the little girl if he resists.
Wan Jiang was silent.
After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with something to comfort his master.
"Well, Xiaojiu, it's okay. Although this little girl is not an omega, let alone a human, but think about it, this is also a good opportunity to get in touch with the opposite sex."
Zhou Jiuya: "..."
That's a good comfort, don't speak next time.
The legion commander closed his eyes and finally spoke after a while,
"Get Ye Shu for me, and then contact Chang Meng."
"yes."
On the other side, Jiang Ci, who successfully escaped from the Academy of Sciences, was intercepted on the periphery.Because the entire capital was under complete martial law, it was simply impossible to go from the Academy of Sciences to the Royal Palace quietly.
But it doesn't matter. As long as he comes out of the defense barrier of the Academy of Sciences, it is not difficult for Bai Ze, as a double S mecha, to break through the blockade of a group of A-class mechas.He Zhun was silent for a moment and then asked the question that had been bothering him.
"Ah Ci, does it really matter if you fight now?"
"It's okay. Huo Xianfeng said that it's common for pregnant women of his race to have a light fight. What's more, they're just piloting mechas, not hand-to-hand combat."
"Oh, so..."
He Zhun was sitting in the passenger seat, still quickly sorting out the information in his optical brain.
"Although I don't think this is very scientific, the five-month-pregnant omega fighting in a mecha really made me get to know you again, and also get to know the strength of the Zerg race again."
"Thanks for the compliment, you're not bad either."
Jiang Ci controlled Bai Ze with neat and crisp movements, knocking over the intercepting mecha with one shot.
The silver giant almost completed a 720-degree rotation in the air.But He Zhun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was tightly fixed in position by the seat belt, but this kind of movement that only a professionally trained mecha pilot could bear did not seem to be a big deal to He Zhun. He was just holding on.He adjusted his glasses and continued working with an expressionless face.
In a sense, He Zhun is indeed very strong in terms of being a workaholic.
Probably because having He Zhun by his side relieved Jiang Ci's nervousness to a great extent.He can calm down quickly and find countermeasures.If we assume the worst case scenario and Pei Changyun is infected or even manipulated, then his purpose should be to target Huo Xianfeng.
Although Jiang Ci didn't know what means the church had to replace the dead Huo Chao as the king insect, he had to go to the palace to stop it anyway.Noila can no longer contact Huo Xianfeng, which is not a good sign.
At this moment, all the fighters that received the order quickly gathered around.
"The capture target has been found! The capture target has been found!"
"Deploy the interception grid immediately!"
Jiang Ci's expression turned cold and he was ready to break through violently.
At this moment, Bai Ze's voice suddenly sounded——
"Ah Ci...Zizi...Changmeng...my..."
The next second, Bai Ze's voice completely disappeared, replaced by Chang Meng's gentle mechanical voice.
"Major General Jiang Ci, hello, I am Chang Meng. I'm sorry that in view of your private escape from the Academy of Sciences, according to the imperial military weapons management regulations, now I can only forcibly suspend your permission to use Bai Ze."
Baize's ownership belongs to the empire, and Jiang Ci only obtained the right to use it through the original National Mecha League.Therefore, Changmeng can stop granting use permissions.
"Damn it!"
Jiang Ci gritted his teeth.
But little X was left at the Academy of Sciences.
At this moment, a giant electrical network descended from the sky and instantly enveloped Bai Ze's head.
boom!
The moment the power grid closed, a rescue capsule suddenly popped out of Bai Ze's chest.
"No! Catch it quickly!!!"
That's Major General Jiang Ci!
The legion commander issued a death order. If the skin is even broken, they will all fall!
As a result, all the mechas immediately fell down like a swarm of bees and rushed to the rescue.
The alpha officer who was the first to rush down grabbed the rescue cabin, but at this moment, an extremely dazzling snow light suddenly exploded behind them.
A white mecha quickly combined and transformed into a fighter plane, and then turned into a meteor and drove away quickly as everyone rushed to the rescue cabin.
Eh?
??????
There were a bunch of question marks on everyone's head. If the snow light hadn't been so dazzling that they shed tears, they would have thought they were hallucinating.They looked at Bai Ze, who was caught in the interception grid, and then turned to look at the light spot disappearing into a star in the distance.
Another double-S mecha???
If the person driving the mecha is Major General Jiang Ci.
So who is in this rescue cabin?
With this question in mind, the alpha officer who grabbed the rescue cabin lowered his head and made eye contact with the beta young man inside.
He Zhun's face was expressionless. He really didn't expect that he would be used as bait by Jiang Ci to lure away the pursuers, but it was understandable after thinking about it, and the rest of the information in the book was not finished yet.
So He Zhun lay flat inside, took a rest, and then continued to turn on the optical brain and work.
On the other side, Jiang Ci watched the pursuers retreating and gradually relaxed.At this time, Cheng Yue quickly scanned Jiang Ci's physical condition. Although his abdomen was shielded from exploration, other indicators were still in good condition.
"Chengyue, when did your master authority transfer to me?"
This step was something Jiang Ci really didn't expect.Chengyue was silent for a few seconds, and then a cold electronic female voice came from above,
"When Leah was captured."
"……Is it."
Jiang Ci closed his eyes and didn't ask any more questions. He drove Cheng Yue straight into the palace.
Sunset, the palace.
The architectural style of the entire palace is a bit like the ancient Chinese country on earth, with an outer city and an inner city. The layers are strict, majestic and grand, but the specific buildings are still in line with the technological sense of the times.
But there is one building that is very abrupt and inconspicuous.
It is a towering signal tower.It's even high enough to overlook the entire capital.Surrounded by complex metal steel frame structures.
Near the top is a huge circular platform, which can be regarded as an observation deck, but there is no protective fence around it.
At this time, Cecilia was huddled in the corner of the circular platform, a knife inserted from her heart and nailed to the pillar behind her.
That was the knife Huo Xianfeng gave to Pei Changyun last time.
"Hoo..."
The woman gasped weakly.There is a familiar glass needle on the ground.The golden liquid that was supposed to be stored inside was gone, and when the evening breeze blew by, the empty glass tube rolled and made a gurgling sound.
Cecilia raised her eyes with difficulty, and in the blurry vision that gradually darkened, she saw two familiar figures, one was Pei Changyun, the other was Huo Xianfeng.
No, now maybe... it should be said to be Huo Chao.
"I have always thought that it would be great if I could see you again."
Pei Changyun looked down at the scenery of the capital in the distance and spoke softly,
“I just didn’t expect it to be this way.”
"..."
Pei Changyun heard a familiar sigh.
"It is not a good thing for the dead to be awakened."
The man lowered his eyes, and his dark eyes gradually revealed a warm smile.
"But Changyun, it's really a big surprise for me to be able to see you again and see your dream come true."
"...Really, Huo Chao?"
Pei Changyun turned his head and looked at him. The afterglow of the setting sun scattered on the side of his face, coating it with a very, very warm light.
But Pei Changyun did not step forward, but took a step back.There are no guardrails on this circular platform, so His Majesty the Emperor, who stepped on the edge at this moment, was almost tottering.
Huo Chao quietly stared at his beloved consul without stretching out his hand.
"Changyun, look, no matter how high you fall, you can still land safely even if I don't catch you."
He smiled and said to the man,
"You've grown your wings, haven't you?"
"..."
Pei Changyun closed his eyes, his brows trembling slightly.
boom!!!
At this moment, a huge explosion came from the outer city, and a familiar silver mecha broke into the palace.But the next second, Wan Jiang followed closely and blocked Cheng Yue with a sword.
"?!"
Jiang Ci was stunned for a moment. He immediately exchanged a few moves with the other party and found that the driver inside didn't seem to be Zhou Jiuya.
——The leaves are sparse.
"Damn it! I never expected to be able to serve as a city wall for Pei Changyun in this life!"
Ye Shu gritted his teeth.
He was approached by Zhou Jiuya, who temporarily gave Wan Jiang control authority and asked him to rush to the palace to stop Jiang Ci.
When Wan Jiang left the factory, only Zhou Jiuya and Ye Shu could match it in terms of mental threshold and strength. However, Zhou Jiuya was better, so he got Wan Jiang.
In this emergency situation, the only person Zhou Jiuya could trust and who could stop Jiang Ci was Ye Shu.
Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely.The circular platform on the tower let out a sigh.
"Ah...Chengyue, is that compassion?"
This was Huo Xianfeng's voice, but it was Huo Chao's tone.
Pei Changyun shook his head and answered him,
"No, Min Min is dead. That's the child she had with Jiang Jin. His name is Ah Ci."
At the same time, during the fierce battle, Jiang Ci also saw the two familiar figures on the tower. Before he could let go of his heart, he saw the clear close-up shot captured by Cheng Yue.
That was indeed Huo Xianfeng's face.
However, it wasn't the familiar eyes or the familiar expression. Even Jiang Ci, who had learned lip language, could clearly read the other person's mouth shape at this moment.
"...That's it."
The man was stunned for a moment, then showed a broken and forced smile,
"The child of Mercy is so like her."
"..."
At this moment, He Zhun's words filled Jiang Ci's brain.
[They wax and wane. If Huo Chao survives, Huo Xianfeng will die.]
This was probably the first time Jiang Ci had tasted despair. He felt cold all over. All his strength seemed to be drained out at this moment, but the next second, another power as hot as molten molten water poured in.
"Give him back to me..."
Those crimson pupils were so deep that they were almost bleeding.
"Give him back to me!!!"
boom!!!
The next second, the huge silver mecha shot Wan Jiang flying nearly a hundred meters, directly smashing dozens of buildings.The loud rumbling noises are endless.The next second, the palace guards immediately stepped forward to fill the vacancy of the generals.
The terrifying loud noise caused the tower to shake, but Pei Changyun didn't care, as if he had expected it.He suddenly asked,
"Huo Chao, are you in pain?"
"..."
Huo Chao knew what he was asking, because part of Cecilia's words was indeed true.
"It doesn't hurt."
He showed the same smile as before, like the sun, making people feel warm at the sight of him.
"When I think that all our dreams can come true, I feel... very happy."
Our dream refers to Huo Xianfeng's revenge and rebirth, Huo Chao's freedom, and Pei Changyun's desire to build a beautiful country with his own hands.
A dream for the three of them.
Pei Changyun covered his eyebrows and looked like he wanted to cry for a moment.
Pei Changyun loved everything about Huo Chao.
Love his tolerance, kindness, bravery, gentleness...
Love his soul as warm as the morning sun.
In short, it seems that all the good qualities of human beings can be piled on that person.
But it was these that forced him to die.
Forcing him to go to a bloody and extremely painful sacrifice without any hesitation.
"By the way, Changyun."
Huo Chao wanted to change the subject, but he always remembered to ask,
"You said before that there was something you wanted to tell me when I came back. What was it?"
"..."
It's a child.
It was a little life they had given birth to together.
At this moment, Pei Changyun actually really wanted to ask -
If, if I say that we... we once gave birth to a life together, briefly...
Will you choose to live for him...for us, Huo Chao?
Will you be a little selfish for us?
But in the end, Pei Changyun didn't ask.
Because even if you say it, what can you do?
Do you want to say that the reason why the child passed away was because of Huo Chao's white lies, which caused him to fall into countless roses?
Talking about this matter has no meaning other than making Huo Chao leave with guilt and pain.
Pointless.
So it would be fine if he alone knew this secret.
It is better for one person to bear one share of pain than to have it divided into two.
"I, I wanted to say..."
Pei Changyun put down his hand and smiled hard at him,
"Wish you a safe journey, and if you can't come back, that's okay."
"Huo Chao, I wish your... dreams come true."
Also...a worthy death.
"That's it."
Huo Chao was stunned. He knew that Pei Changyun was not telling the truth, but he still chose to believe it.
"Um!"
Pei Changyun saw a golden undercurrent gradually emerging from his left eye, which was very dazzling and beautiful in the setting sun.
He replaced the medicine.
When he got the tube of golden liquid from Cecilia that day, Pei Changyun secretly sent it back to the Capital Academy of Sciences.
After more than two months of research, what was finally obtained was not a medicine that allowed Huo Chao to replace Huo Xiafeng, but a medicine that completely separated Huo Chao from Huo Xiafeng's body.
"I'm sorry, Changyun."
Huo Chao looked at him seriously, as if he wanted to remember his last face.
"I'm really leaving this time."
"……It doesn't matter."
The day Pei Changyun confirmed that he fell in love with Huo Chao was when Chao Ri was born.
He fell from the tower.Huo Chao hugged him.
Pei Changyun heard his heart beating crazily.It seemed as if he was going to crash into the other person's chest from his own chest.
The day when Pei Changyun and Huo Chao said goodbye completely was sunset.
The setting sun was like blood, and the entire sky was dark red.It was as if... it was Huo Chao's blood that dyed them red.
"Goodbye, Huo Chao."
Never seen again.
We say goodbye forever.
At this moment, Pei Changyun couldn't hug him, or even touch him briefly.
He could only capture another dissipating soul through Huo Xianfeng's face.
This was the second time Pei Changyun watched Huo Chao die.
Just like the first time, there was nothing he could do.
The man's remaining black eye gradually turned golden.At this moment, Pei Changyun suddenly turned around and strode away.
Huo Chao is right, he is always right.
Only now did Pei Changyun realize that there was really nothing he could do... helplessly watch that man die.
"I said Huo Chao, don't cry with my body."
——This is Huo Xianfeng's tone.
"It's so ugly."
"Oooh, I can't help it, Xiaofeng, you know I was born with well-developed tear ducts."
Huo Chao watched Pei Changyun's retreating back and suddenly said,
"Xiao Feng, I have one last wish, can you grant it to me?"
"……What?"
This tone is an agreement.
"I want to see your..."
The next second, Huo Chao's hand opened the belt.
"Ah...lost again."
"Huo Chao——!!!"
Huo Xianfeng's voice turned angry.
"you……"
Having said this, Huo Xianfeng's angry expression suddenly froze, because at this time, the star belonging to Huo Chao completely disappeared.
At this time, Pei Changyun, who was walking down the tower, saw Jiang Ci rushing up. They looked at each other, and their eyes were both red.
"...he's up there."
After saying that, Pei Changyun passed by and strode away without looking back.
After a moment, he heard Jiang Ci's crying voice coming from above.
"Huo Xianfeng——!"
"Um."
"Huo... Huo Xianfeng..."
"I am here."
"Huo Xianfeng..."
"Well, it's okay."
Chapter 138 Super Fat Chapter
Midnight, Capital Academy of Sciences.
Although it is called the Academy of Sciences, it actually covers a large area. It is built on a huge island and is surrounded by seawater as an isolation zone. It can almost be called a country.In addition to the outer military defense system of the capital, an internal defense system independent of the capital's mastermind was also built.Speaking of which, the safety factor is even higher than that of the palace.
The Academy of Sciences is divided into different areas according to different majors, and almost all Heng Yun's new technologies and scientific research projects are incubated here.In this special period, targeted drugs for parasitic diseases are also being intensively developed here.
As a specially injured person, He Zhun should have been detained elsewhere, but because he had stayed at the Stigma Research Institute of the Illusionary God Religion and had extremely outstanding professional abilities, Pei Changyun ordered him to be secretly detained in the Academy of Sciences.
It's just that He Zhun has not participated in the development of targeted drugs, nor has he entered any professional laboratory. He has been locked up after being asked about some information about the stigmata.
But the treatment is very good. Three meals a day are delivered on time. They are not just nutritional solutions but food cooked by a private chef.Regular physical examinations and treatments are also provided.It's just that he has lost contact and information with everything outside, and no one has told him how long he will be detained here.
Wow...
The young man's pale finger bones turned over a brand new page of the book, his fingertips passed over the densely packed professional vocabulary, and finally landed on a string of genetic code words.
Something went wrong here.
He Zhun picked up the pen, circled the clerical error in the middle, and made revision comments next to it.During the month after the First Legion returned and during the month he was imprisoned at the Academy of Sciences, he was revising this book.The originally anxious mood gradually calmed down during the reading process.
This book is a basic medical textbook with very complicated content. He Zhun spent almost all his time on revision, and it took him two full months to barely complete the first preliminary revision.
——This is a book compiled by his father.
It was Zhou Jiuya who gave it to him.
On the first night of his capture, the commander of the Empire's First Legion came to apologize to him in person.
[Sorry, I was late that night.]
[It’s just that you were too young at the time and don’t remember anything.]
He Zhun is still alive, but he doesn't remember his dead family members or the bloody hatred.In the eyes of everyone at the time, this was the only lucky thing.
Not remembering painful memories means that he doesn't have to carry them, and it means that he can start over.
Everyone thought that the young He Zhun didn't remember, so no one mentioned it again.
He Zhun was raised in the Jiang family. After Jiang Jin's death, his custody rights were transferred to Zhou Jiuya's name along with Jiang Ci.According to Jiang Jinsheng's plan, He Zhun was supposed to be well protected and grow up in the safest greenhouse like Jiang Ci.
It's just that no one knew that the child had lied and hid it so deeply and well. Later, a person secretly took revenge and finally got to where he is today.
[This is a textbook manuscript that your father originally sent to a medical school. It has not had time to be revised.I found the electronic version of the record here and just asked the logistics department to print it out.There are also some other old things, but they are all placed in Hengyun Star.]
Zhou Jiuya handed He Zhun a book.
[……Thanks.]
He Zhun took the book.
Back then, He Qichu kept his name anonymous and changed his surname to Zhao. He was a skilled Dr. Zhao. At that time, he treated a patient who was sentenced to death by the Capital Hospital. He suddenly became famous and was even contacted by a medical school to invite him to compile a new textbook.
However, during the subsequent political purge, Dr. Zhao was labeled as a spy, splashed with dirty water, and stigmatized. Naturally, the medical school no longer dared to use the textbooks he compiled, let alone proofread and revise them, and even directly concealed the incident.thing.
This manuscript, which could not be edited, was now produced by Zhou Jiuya and then transferred to He Zhun.
Unlike Jiang Ci, who cannot remember his father's appearance, Brigadier He has all the details of his childhood clearly engraved in his mind, and he recalls them countless times every day to prevent him from forgetting.When his father compiled this textbook, He Zhun remembered that he could only understand the words in the catalog, but he had no idea what it meant. But now, he can revise every detail, even the content.additions and deletions.
only……
The young man paused with his pen and frowned slightly.
He read it over again and found that the errors in the annotations were a bit strange.Moreover, the arrangement of the content and the detailed treatment of certain professional knowledge are also somewhat unreasonable.
In fact, this is a normal phenomenon in textbook compilation. The first edition usually has many problems. Even the content compiled by the most professional scholars must go through layers of revisions before it is published.
But the only unreasonable thing is that some of these mistakes are too low-level.Moreover, the order of the catalog deviated slightly from He Zhun's memory.
——This is not right.
He Zhun was sure something went wrong.He flipped through it again, pondered for a moment and then immediately rang the call bell.A few minutes later, the caregiver came in,
"Hello, Mr. Xiaohe, do you need anything?"
The sound insulation here was very good, but the moment the door opened, He Zhun keenly heard the sound of warships flying outside.The Academy of Sciences generally does not allow troops to enter unless it is an emergency martial law situation.
Emergency martial law in the capital?
The young man's face darkened.
Something must have happened outside!
But He Zhun couldn't leave, nor could he get more information about the outside world, so at this moment he just smiled and said to the other party,
"I want an optical brain, one that is not connected to the Internet."
He Zhun has a handsome and gentle appearance, and when he smiles he is very approachable and makes people unguarded.At this time, the young man picked up the thick professional book in his hand, showing a helpless and distressed look.
"The Legion Commander asked me to help proofread and revise this book. He said that it may be helpful for special medicines, but it is too thick and the human brain alone will process it too slowly, so..."
The caregiver was a little embarrassed, but nodded.
"Okay, I'll apply."
Boom.
The door is closed.
The smile on He Zhun's face faded, and he sat expressionlessly on the table, turning page after page.At the same moment, I also dug out all the memories and searched for them one detail at a time.
Ten minutes later, the caregiver delivered a brand new optical brain.There is no Internet access, and a monitoring device is installed inside.
"Thank you for your hard work."
He Zhun smiled and thanked him.
He understood the other party's distrust of him, but his goal had been achieved. He only needed an optical brain to assist in re-editing the textbook.
At the same time, Nine Crows on the periphery of the Academy of Sciences also hung up the communication.
"Legion Commander, is it really okay to give him a light brain?"
The adjutant's tone was very worried;
"You obviously didn't say anything about that manuscript..."
Zhou Jiuya raised his hand and Li Ya fell silent.
"It doesn't matter, just keep an eye on him. All the old things left by He Qichu back then have been carefully checked, including the textbook manuscript sent to the medical school. Later, many medical experts also found it for appraisal. The final conclusion was that except for some normal clerical errors,Other than that, there are no questions, and it is just a simple basic medical textbook.”
As for all other information about the Huan Shen Cult, He Qichu took the initiative to destroy it in order to remain anonymous. He even performed facial and body plastic surgery on himself to hide it.
If it weren't for the purpose of curing Jiang Ci, He Qichu would not have been found out with his cleverness.As for the treatment of Jiang Ci, according to the original agreement between He Qichu and Jiang Jinsheng, it was a top secret between them, and only He Qichu knew about the treatment process.Because once exposed, the Illusion God Church will hunt him down at all costs.
But the final result was indeed as the man expected.
Zhou Jiuya closed his eyes and suppressed the long-lasting memories.He strode out of the Academy of Sciences with a gloomy look on his face.
"I'm going to the palace now. You can guard this place."
"yes!"
The adjutant stood solemnly and watched as Wan Jiang turned into a falling star in the bright snowy light and arrived at the palace.
An hour later, Zhou Jiuya strode down the apron of the palace.The female officer has already led a group of people to wait below.
"Lord Legion Commander,"
The female officer lowered her eyes respectfully,
"The young master has fallen asleep in the room. Your Majesty said that the palace is not safe, so please take him to the Academy of Sciences for placement."
"Um."
Zhou Jiuya didn't stop, walking towards a familiar place by a familiar road.
Compared to the large and empty Jiang family, Jiang Ci preferred the palace when he was a child.Because there are many people here who can accompany him.The gentle Uncle Changyun was closer to him than the serious and upright Zhou Jiuya.Therefore, there is a special room reserved for him in the palace.
Wow——
Zhou Jiuya pushed open the door and entered, his original stride slowing down.
Jiang Ci fell asleep lying on the workbench. Next to him was an empty cup with some unfinished milk in it.The huge optical brain screen in front is still rapidly shuttling countless complicated code data flows.Nora was standing by and had just put a blanket over him.
Zhou Jiuya walked over slowly and stood not far away, because the Zerg girl was staring at him coldly.
"It's not safe here,"
The man spoke softly,
"I'll take him away, to a safe place."
"..."
Nora looked at him steadily for a few seconds, her dark purple vertical pupils dilated slightly, as if she had received some signal, so she blinked slowly and took a step away.
Zhou Jiuya was finally able to step forward. Only then did he see Jiang Ci's face. His brows were slightly wrinkled. He was sleeping uneasily, as if he was having a nightmare when he was a child.The legion commander was silent for a few seconds, then reached out and wrapped him carefully in a blanket, then picked him up and strode out of the door.
Nora followed suit.
"Well……"
Jiang Ci could feel that he was being carried away by someone, but his brain was confused and his eyelids were heavy and he could not open them.
Because of years of training and treatment and the use of inhibitors, Jiang Ci is often exposed to sedative drugs, so he can clearly distinguish between sleepiness during pregnancy and sleepiness caused by drugs.The gradual development of drug resistance in his body allowed him to retain a trace of consciousness while falling asleep.This feeling is like a ghost pressing on the bed. Although the consciousness is still there, it can't wake up.
Something is wrong...everything is wrong...
Wake up... you have to wake up immediately...
Jiang Ci felt as if she had sunk into the deep sea, and all perceptions of time and space were infinitely reduced or even erased.
He seemed to see many, many people's faces.
First, there was He Zhun sitting on the hospital bed.
[The Pope must have some greater use for keeping Cecilia.]
[The biggest threat to the Pope is Huo Xianfeng, and Pei Changyun second. Which one do you think he will attack first?]
Then there was Huo Xianfeng, his face was dim and unclear, as if he was about to disappear into the darkness.
[Ah Ci, Pei Changyun is hiding something from me.]
[Huo Chao is dead, and the only person I can trust is you.]
Finally, there is the father.
It was the father whose face was blurred in Jiang Ci's memory.
In fact, there are many photos of Jiang Jinsheng at home, and there are even photos of Jiang Jinsheng in many magazines, biographies of great people, and even history books.
But Jiang Ci couldn't remember that person's face no matter what.But at this moment, my father's face finally became clear.His eyebrows were clear and handsome, and his crimson eyes were filled with a special kind of tenderness, like the last spark that was about to be extinguished in the broken ashes.
The father touched the child's head and said to him,
[Ah Ci, if you can’t become good friends with Brother He Zhun, then you will have to solve this code game by yourself.]
Then, the stubborn Jiang Ci locked himself up and solved the code game, but also missed the death of that person.
Buzz——
The silver eyelashes trembled rapidly, and Jiang Ci suddenly opened his eyes.He struggled to sit up, breathing heavily, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, as if he had finally broken free from some terrible nightmare.
"you……"
When Jiang Ci heard a familiar voice, he turned around suddenly, his eyes sharp for a moment, but when his eyes touched a familiar face, he suddenly became startled again.
——It’s Dr. Wen.Foolishly sucks into the pile.
"Are you awake... Ah Ci?"
Jiang Ci didn't answer. He looked at the other party intently, not missing the surprise and nervousness on Dr. Wen's face.He quickly scanned his surroundings.
At this time, Nora noticed that he was awake, and immediately came over and rubbed Jiang Ci's palm intimately. This action made Jiang Ci feel a little more at ease.He looked up at Wen Xubai, his voice hoarse after a nightmare,
"Where is this?"
This is not a palace.
It seemed that he did not expect that he would wake up so soon. Dr. Wen was quickly organizing words to comfort him.
"You're too tired, Ah Ci, take a good rest now."
"..."
Jiang Ci was silent for a few seconds and then suddenly spoke,
"Nora, open the windows and curtains for me."
A few seconds later, followed by a "swish" sound, dazzling sunlight poured in, making Jiang Ci reflexively cover it with his hands and close his eyes.
The breeze carried the moist breath of sea water and drifted in faintly from outside.
Jiang Ci was stunned for a few seconds, and immediately realized that this was the Academy of Sciences, and it was already dawn, which meant that he slept all night, and Huo Xianfeng should also have stayed in the palace all night and has not come back yet.
Jiang Ci immediately took out Baize,
"Contact Forbidden Abyss."
A few seconds later, Bai Ze spoke solemnly,
"Ah Ci, Chang Meng has activated signal blocking and cannot contact you."
"..."
Jiang Ci closed her eyes, turned to ask Nora,
"Can you contact Huo Xianfeng?"
"..."
Nora shook her head.
Jiang Ci pursed her lips and asked carefully,
"When did you start losing contact?"
"last night."
"what did he say?"
"Protect Huahua."
"..."
After receiving this reply, Jiang Ci said nothing and asked no more questions. He immediately got up from the bed and strode out.
The situation was obvious. When Zhao He brought a group of people to them last night, it was not to discuss matters or to help decipher the chip. The fundamental purpose was to let Huo Xianfeng enter the palace, while Jiang Ci had to stay at the Academy of Sciences.
What kind of situation would make the emperor insist on separating the two of them?
What must Cecilia be present for the three of them to talk about?
What could make Huo Xianfeng stay in the palace for a whole night, not come to him for such a long time without talking to him, and even have the contact with the Zerg spiritual network cut off?
When Huo Xianfeng said that Pei Changyun was hiding something from them, Jiang Ci had a worst-case prediction that he couldn't think deeply about, that is, the church might fall apart.But according to Jiang Ci's understanding of Pei Changyun over the years, His Majesty the Emperor is not a person who is easily instigated.
But the current situation made him feel very uneasy.
Very very uneasy.
At least this kind of deception and Huo Xianfeng's loss of contact have made Jiang Ci unable to calm down.
"Wait! Wait A Ci!"
Dr. Wen tried hard to stop him,
"This is His Majesty's order. The palace is not safe. You need to stay here now..."
"Step aside!"
This was the first time Jiang Ci spoke to Dr. Wen in such a cold tone.
"..."
Wen Xubai was shocked.
Click!
The door opened and Zhou Jiuya came in.
"Calm down, Jiang Ci."
The alpha's majestic voice made Jiang Ci turn around, but he did not feel intimidated or give in because of the other party's appearance. Instead, he raised his head and looked over coldly.
"I want to go back to the palace to see him."
"no."
Zhou Jiuya's tall figure stood at the door.
"Now is not the time. You have to wait. I promise, you will see him."
"..."
Jiang Ci stared at him for a few seconds and said softly,
"What if I say no?"
Jiang Ci has already been deceived by his father once, and he will never experience this kind of thing again, even as a protected person.
Zhou Jiuya's face was expressionless, but the faintly bulging cheeks showed that he had clenched his back molars.A few seconds later, the legion commander's eyes were cold and gloomy, and he scolded with a majestic voice,
"Jiang Ci, this is an order!"
"……Order?"
Jiang Ci took a step back.
He deliberately changed into a military uniform when he went to the palace, and he is still wearing it now.The next second, he tore off the badge representing the major general in front of Zhou Jiuya and threw it at Zhou Jiuya's feet.
He said coldly,
"Then you can expel me from the military now."
"Jiang Ci, you...!"
Zhou Jiuya was extremely angry, but before he could finish his words, he saw Jiang Ci pull out the Baize pendant, transform into a spear and smash the window with one blow.
Snapped!
The sound of shattering glass instantly echoed throughout the room.Zhou Jiuya's expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward to catch him. At this moment, Jiang Ci turned over and jumped out of the window -
"Nora, hold him down!"
"Varied……"
The man's pupils dilated, reflecting the oncoming punch.
boom!
The Zerg's power quickly gained a unilateral advantage, and Zhou Jiuya could only barely use his tens of thousands of generals to fend off the attack one after another.His peripheral vision swept across the window, his expression extremely ugly.
"Damn-"
Zhou Jiuya didn't expect Jiang Ci to wake up early, otherwise he should have taken Bai Ze away.But it's too late now and can only be remedied.
"General Wan, order immediate emergency control of the skies above the Academy of Sciences and arrest Jiang Ci, but no one is allowed to use any destructive thermal weapons."
"yes."
On the other side, Jiang Ci turned over and jumped out of the window, inserted his spear into the wall, and slid down.Just as he was about to deploy his mecha and forcefully break through, Xiao X's voice suddenly sounded.
"Ah Ci, I received the ASX signal!"
Jiang Ci was suddenly startled.
——That’s He Zhun.
One month after the kidnapping case, He Zhun came back. Jiang Ci hugged the man and cried loudly, and vowed to protect him well in the future. So before making Little X into a mecha, he first made a super for He Zhun.Signal transmitter.
[He Zhun, next time you are in danger, just click this and I will come to you no matter where you are.]
This is the first time He Zhun has used it in so many years.He didn't even use it when the other party fell from an altitude of 10,000 meters in the broken rescue cabin.This shows that the situation now is worse than then.
Jiang Ci gritted his teeth and asked,
"where?!"
Xiao X quickly exported the circuit diagram.
"It's very close. Turn left a hundred meters ahead and go down."
Jiang Ci didn't hesitate, and immediately turned around. He quickly took off his military uniform jacket and threw it away in the opposite direction.Then he turned around and sneaked into a room, then put on a white coat and the tightest protective clothing to cover his face.Now is the outbreak of parasitic disease, so dressing up like this is inconspicuous.
He probably followed Huo Xianfeng into Bai Gucheng once. Jiang Ci was very skilled at this kind of thing.
Zhou Jiuya thought Jiang Ci would go to the palace immediately, so the searching guards also headed towards the exit.However, at this time, Jiang Ci had already moved towards He Zhun's position.
At this time, the young man was looking at the densely packed words on his brain while wrapping the wound on his elbow with the torn cloth.He sewed the signal transmitter given by Jiang Ci into the flesh of the inside of his elbow, and made a biological mask so that no matter whether he was in the Huan Shen Cult or captured by the First Legion, it would not be discovered by any machine scan.abnormal.
drop
It was the sound of opening the door. It was not meal delivery time at this time. He Zhun reflexively turned off the optical brain, but when he turned around, he met a pair of familiar eyes.
The two looked at each other for three seconds without saying anything.Then He Zhun quickly stepped forward and helped Jiang Ci drag in the two unconscious guards at the door.
Boom——
The door is closed.
He Zhun did not wait for Jiang Ci to ask, nor did he ask why Jiang Ci was dressed like this or why he appeared here so quickly. He directly took out the optical brain, opened it, and showed him the things rearranged inside.
"To make a long story short, this is the message left by my father. Time was too tight, I only got the first half of it, but it was too late, so I had to tell you right away."
All errors in the manuscript are prompts for rearrangement.
Following the prompts, He Zhun eliminated large tracts of redundant content and rearranged the key information, and then obtained part of the key information left by He Qichu.
He Zhun skipped the intermediate professional knowledge and directly gave Jiang Ci the conclusion.
"Huo Xianfeng's extracted nerve fluid was injected into Huo Chao's body. This injection is different from the way other believers feed the stigmata. Instead of feeding the stigmata, it is injected directly into Huo Chao's brain. So this is Huo Chao's brain.Chao's appearance and strength are gradually approaching that of Huo Xianfeng. In other words, he is sucking Huo Xianfeng's life."
"The Pope's plan is not to use Huo Chao to create a god, nor is he to treat Huo Chao as some beloved child. Huo Chao is just his tool. That person's purpose is to use Huo Chao to replace the King Insect, thereby achieving the purpose of plundering the entire Zerg race."
He Zhun spoke very quickly, but his words were clear.
"The reason why it was passed through Huo Chao is because the Stigmata that the Pope can control cannot invade the bodies of the Zerg and can only control humans. Other humans cannot accept the nerve fluid of the King Insect, only Huo Chao can. So Huo Chao is the so-called Son of God.As for your mother Bai Min, she was only chosen to be the mother body for cultivating the next Huo Dynasty because of her superior genes."
He Zhun grabbed Jiang Ci's hand with solemn eyes.
"Jiang Ci, has Huo Xianfeng ever told you about the degradation of the Zerg race?"
"..."
Jiang Ci's lips trembled slightly, but she still nodded.
"Well, I don't need to explain this to you. In short, Marshal Huo Chao asked my father to find a way to reverse this process. Then they spent a long time looking for a way."
He Zhun pointed to the red fragment in the optical brain,
"You probably don't understand the specific principle of reversal. Let me give you an analogy. The original relationship between Huo Chao and Huo Xianfeng was parasitic. He absorbed Huo Xianfeng's power, so the latter would die. If you want to reverse this process, it has to be the other way around, do you understand?”
"……in turn?"
"Yes! The other way around. But the process is far more complicated than this, and Huo Chao alone is not enough."
He Zhun shook his head gently
"Ah Ci, do you know why the only high-level Zerg you see are Huo Xianfeng and the little girl next to you?"
"Why?"
"——Because most of them sacrificed themselves for the king."
"..."
Jiang Ci suddenly paused.But He Zhun didn't stop. He looked nervous but tried to stay calm.
"The reason why Huo Xianfeng was in human form at first was because he had not completely digested Huo Chao's part, so when Huo Xianfeng fully regained his power, Huo Chao's part would be completely eliminated."
"But this process has not been completed yet, so in theory, Huo Chao is still parasitic on him. This is Huo Xiangfeng's only weakness now. Ah Ci, they go up and down. Huo Chao is dead, Huo XianfengTo live.”
He Zhun took a deep breath,
"So based on this information, I speculate that the Huan Shen Cult's cloning may be a cover-up or a political attack. Their real trump card is to let Huo Chao replace the king insect again. You know, Huo Chao is also Pei Changyun's Achilles' heel. So that's it.It can both drive a wedge and kill two birds with one stone..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Ci suddenly stood up and took a step back.
"He... He Zhun, thank you, no, yes... I'm sorry, I have to go."
"Ah Ci?"
He Zhun was stunned.As he spoke, he suddenly reacted,
A few minutes after his signal was clearly sent, Jiang Ci arrived and said that the other party was here to begin with and even sneaked in.Also, Jiang Ci is obviously pregnant. In this case, why is Huo Xianfeng not by his side?
He rushed forward, grabbed Jiang Ci's hand, and pulled him back.
"Wait, Ah Ci, calm down first."
He Zhun wanted to ask why he suddenly noticed the other party's dress.
"This kind of protective clothing..."
Because He Zhun was imprisoned, other than knowing about the outbreak, he knew nothing about the transmission route, clinical symptoms, or other information.But it is obvious that the parasitic disease that broke out in Heng Yun is a derivative of the Stigmata.
In order for a believer to inject the stigmata, a professional syringe needs to be pierced directly into the heart. However, if an epidemic is to break out, then a simpler method of transmission must be chosen, and Jiang Ci's special protective clothing is enough to read a lot of things...
"Ah Ci, don't leave in a hurry. Calm down first. Let me ask you a few questions. Are the current transmission routes of parasitic infections through contact, food, water, air, and blood and body fluids?"
"Everything but air...everything."
This affirmative answer immediately made He Zhun's face look ugly, and he continued to ask,
"Then... then you said before that His Majesty killed the clone of Marshal Huo Chao. So... did he get blood splashed? Or did others, people close to him, get splashed with blood?"
"..."
Jiang Ci was suddenly stunned.
"Yes... yes, a lot."
very many.
When a person's head is cut off, blood spurts from the arteries can reach several meters.It can be said that Pei Changyun's whole body was almost washed with blood that day.And... Huo Xianfeng, who was standing next to him, was also splashed.
Jiang Ci's face turned pale, and he felt a sense of terror running up his back like an electric current.
"So that's it..."
He Zhun closed his eyes.
——So that’s it.
He had always felt that Huo Chao's clone would never be that simple, but the result turned out to be like this...
Who would have thought that the clones created by the Illusion God Cult with so much effort and painstaking efforts would be killed just for them to be useful.
He Zhun took a deep breath, already preparing for the worst.
"Ah Ci, I think it is possible... His Majesty is infected. If he is really infected, then the royal warship he is riding on and even the entire palace may be infected... You'd better tell Legion this guess now.long……"
"he knows."
Jiang Ci's voice dropped to a freezing point.
"He told me the palace was dangerous."
"..."
He Zhun was silent.But before he could think of a countermeasure, Jiang Ci suddenly pushed his hand away.
"He Zhun, I'm sorry, I have something else to do."
He Zhun failed to hold him back.
"Ah Ci——!"
But Jiang Ci could no longer hear his words.
If he had trusted his Uncle Changyun before, he would never do such a despicable thing.But it would be different if that person had a stigmata in his body.
If Huo Chao comes back to life, Huo Xianfeng will die.
This is the only weakness of the mighty king.
And now, this weakness has been seized upon by those people.
Jiang Ci ran into several guards who were searching for them. Without hesitation, he was knocked unconscious in two or three blows.Just then he heard footsteps running behind him.
"Ah Ci, the Academy of Sciences has been blocked..."
He Zhun was breathing heavily. It was obvious that keeping up with Jiang Ci was a heavy burden on him.
"You know, even Bai Ze would have a hard time breaking the defensive barrier from the inside, let alone the air blockade. Moreover, the people you are facing are imperial soldiers. If you are not careful during the battle, people will die."
"..."
Jiang Ci looked up at him. After a few seconds of silence, he said firmly,
"You have a solution!"
After all, He Zhun has worked here for nine years and has a high level of status. He must know some secret way.
The young man gasped and smiled, stretched out his hand,
"Call Brother He Zhun and I'll think about it."
"..."
Jiang Ci slapped his hand away with a "pop",
"Let's wait until you actually take me out."
"Okay, I'm recording."
"..."
Ten minutes later, the two appeared in He Zhun's original office.Under the table, there was an alpha who was tied up and knocked unconscious.
This is the competitor of He Zhun that Jiang Ci mentioned before, named Wei Jun.After He Zhun's accident, the other party took his place.
Jiang Ci stared at the alpha on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face for a few seconds, then carefully wiped his hands with disinfectant, showing a slightly disgusted look.He couldn't stand the smell of other alphas now.
"...He Zhun, are you sure this isn't public revenge?"
"of course not."
He Zhun's tone was decisive. He found the other party's identity key and took away some other things that seemed useful, even carrying a big bag.
"Researchers of this level will have a secret key, which can be used to enter the underground escape tunnel in an emergency. It leads all the way to the bottom of the sea, and it is also the only place that will not be blocked by the defensive barrier. But after it is opened, the central mastermind of the Academy of Sciences willWill find out."
He Zhun connected Yinhuan to the interface connected to the main brain in the office, and spoke in a gentle tone,
"I can only ask our little X to help hold it off for five minutes."
Jiang Ci didn't stop him and just nodded to Xiao X.
Little
drop
After He Zhun pressed the secret key, the smooth wall on the side suddenly opened.He looked back at Jiang Ci,
"Let's go Ah Ci, we only have five minutes."
When the two left the Academy of Sciences secretly, Zhou Jiuyao was still pinned to the ground by Nora.
Nora was first fed in Mingcheng for three months, and then fed well by Jiang Ci in the Jiang family for another month. She was no longer the weakling that Cecilia could beat away.
She is very strong now. At least she can hold Zhou Jiuya down with one hand without any problem.
Therefore, even when the legion commander unfolded his mecha, Nora followed him into the cockpit because of the close distance, so he continued to press him on the ground of the cockpit.
The power of the Zerg is directly against the mecha, and no matter how powerful the alpha is, it is impossible to have the same power as the mecha. This has led to the situation where the legion leader cannot be pinned to the ground by the little girl if he resists.
Wan Jiang was silent.
After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with something to comfort his master.
"Well, Xiaojiu, it's okay. Although this little girl is not an omega, let alone a human, but think about it, this is also a good opportunity to get in touch with the opposite sex."
Zhou Jiuya: "..."
That's a good comfort, don't speak next time.
The legion commander closed his eyes and finally spoke after a while,
"Get Ye Shu for me, and then contact Chang Meng."
"yes."
On the other side, Jiang Ci, who successfully escaped from the Academy of Sciences, was intercepted on the periphery.Because the entire capital was under complete martial law, it was simply impossible to go from the Academy of Sciences to the Royal Palace quietly.
But it doesn't matter. As long as he comes out of the defense barrier of the Academy of Sciences, it is not difficult for Bai Ze, as a double S mecha, to break through the blockade of a group of A-class mechas.He Zhun was silent for a moment and then asked the question that had been bothering him.
"Ah Ci, does it really matter if you fight now?"
"It's okay. Huo Xianfeng said that it's common for pregnant women of his race to have a light fight. What's more, they're just piloting mechas, not hand-to-hand combat."
"Oh, so..."
He Zhun was sitting in the passenger seat, still quickly sorting out the information in his optical brain.
"Although I don't think this is very scientific, the five-month-pregnant omega fighting in a mecha really made me get to know you again, and also get to know the strength of the Zerg race again."
"Thanks for the compliment, you're not bad either."
Jiang Ci controlled Bai Ze with neat and crisp movements, knocking over the intercepting mecha with one shot.
The silver giant almost completed a 720-degree rotation in the air.But He Zhun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was tightly fixed in position by the seat belt, but this kind of movement that only a professionally trained mecha pilot could bear did not seem to be a big deal to He Zhun. He was just holding on.He adjusted his glasses and continued working with an expressionless face.
In a sense, He Zhun is indeed very strong in terms of being a workaholic.
Probably because having He Zhun by his side relieved Jiang Ci's nervousness to a great extent.He can calm down quickly and find countermeasures.If we assume the worst case scenario and Pei Changyun is infected or even manipulated, then his purpose should be to target Huo Xianfeng.
Although Jiang Ci didn't know what means the church had to replace the dead Huo Chao as the king insect, he had to go to the palace to stop it anyway.Noila can no longer contact Huo Xianfeng, which is not a good sign.
At this moment, all the fighters that received the order quickly gathered around.
"The capture target has been found! The capture target has been found!"
"Deploy the interception grid immediately!"
Jiang Ci's expression turned cold and he was ready to break through violently.
At this moment, Bai Ze's voice suddenly sounded——
"Ah Ci...Zizi...Changmeng...my..."
The next second, Bai Ze's voice completely disappeared, replaced by Chang Meng's gentle mechanical voice.
"Major General Jiang Ci, hello, I am Chang Meng. I'm sorry that in view of your private escape from the Academy of Sciences, according to the imperial military weapons management regulations, now I can only forcibly suspend your permission to use Bai Ze."
Baize's ownership belongs to the empire, and Jiang Ci only obtained the right to use it through the original National Mecha League.Therefore, Changmeng can stop granting use permissions.
"Damn it!"
Jiang Ci gritted his teeth.
But little X was left at the Academy of Sciences.
At this moment, a giant electrical network descended from the sky and instantly enveloped Bai Ze's head.
boom!
The moment the power grid closed, a rescue capsule suddenly popped out of Bai Ze's chest.
"No! Catch it quickly!!!"
That's Major General Jiang Ci!
The legion commander issued a death order. If the skin is even broken, they will all fall!
As a result, all the mechas immediately fell down like a swarm of bees and rushed to the rescue.
The alpha officer who was the first to rush down grabbed the rescue cabin, but at this moment, an extremely dazzling snow light suddenly exploded behind them.
A white mecha quickly combined and transformed into a fighter plane, and then turned into a meteor and drove away quickly as everyone rushed to the rescue cabin.
Eh?
??????
There were a bunch of question marks on everyone's head. If the snow light hadn't been so dazzling that they shed tears, they would have thought they were hallucinating.They looked at Bai Ze, who was caught in the interception grid, and then turned to look at the light spot disappearing into a star in the distance.
Another double-S mecha???
If the person driving the mecha is Major General Jiang Ci.
So who is in this rescue cabin?
With this question in mind, the alpha officer who grabbed the rescue cabin lowered his head and made eye contact with the beta young man inside.
He Zhun's face was expressionless. He really didn't expect that he would be used as bait by Jiang Ci to lure away the pursuers, but it was understandable after thinking about it, and the rest of the information in the book was not finished yet.
So He Zhun lay flat inside, took a rest, and then continued to turn on the optical brain and work.
On the other side, Jiang Ci watched the pursuers retreating and gradually relaxed.At this time, Cheng Yue quickly scanned Jiang Ci's physical condition. Although his abdomen was shielded from exploration, other indicators were still in good condition.
"Chengyue, when did your master authority transfer to me?"
This step was something Jiang Ci really didn't expect.Chengyue was silent for a few seconds, and then a cold electronic female voice came from above,
"When Leah was captured."
"……Is it."
Jiang Ci closed his eyes and didn't ask any more questions. He drove Cheng Yue straight into the palace.
Sunset, the palace.
The architectural style of the entire palace is a bit like the ancient Chinese country on earth, with an outer city and an inner city. The layers are strict, majestic and grand, but the specific buildings are still in line with the technological sense of the times.
But there is one building that is very abrupt and inconspicuous.
It is a towering signal tower.It's even high enough to overlook the entire capital.Surrounded by complex metal steel frame structures.
Near the top is a huge circular platform, which can be regarded as an observation deck, but there is no protective fence around it.
At this time, Cecilia was huddled in the corner of the circular platform, a knife inserted from her heart and nailed to the pillar behind her.
That was the knife Huo Xianfeng gave to Pei Changyun last time.
"Hoo..."
The woman gasped weakly.There is a familiar glass needle on the ground.The golden liquid that was supposed to be stored inside was gone, and when the evening breeze blew by, the empty glass tube rolled and made a gurgling sound.
Cecilia raised her eyes with difficulty, and in the blurry vision that gradually darkened, she saw two familiar figures, one was Pei Changyun, the other was Huo Xianfeng.
No, now maybe... it should be said to be Huo Chao.
"I have always thought that it would be great if I could see you again."
Pei Changyun looked down at the scenery of the capital in the distance and spoke softly,
“I just didn’t expect it to be this way.”
"..."
Pei Changyun heard a familiar sigh.
"It is not a good thing for the dead to be awakened."
The man lowered his eyes, and his dark eyes gradually revealed a warm smile.
"But Changyun, it's really a big surprise for me to be able to see you again and see your dream come true."
"...Really, Huo Chao?"
Pei Changyun turned his head and looked at him. The afterglow of the setting sun scattered on the side of his face, coating it with a very, very warm light.
But Pei Changyun did not step forward, but took a step back.There are no guardrails on this circular platform, so His Majesty the Emperor, who stepped on the edge at this moment, was almost tottering.
Huo Chao quietly stared at his beloved consul without stretching out his hand.
"Changyun, look, no matter how high you fall, you can still land safely even if I don't catch you."
He smiled and said to the man,
"You've grown your wings, haven't you?"
"..."
Pei Changyun closed his eyes, his brows trembling slightly.
boom!!!
At this moment, a huge explosion came from the outer city, and a familiar silver mecha broke into the palace.But the next second, Wan Jiang followed closely and blocked Cheng Yue with a sword.
"?!"
Jiang Ci was stunned for a moment. He immediately exchanged a few moves with the other party and found that the driver inside didn't seem to be Zhou Jiuya.
——The leaves are sparse.
"Damn it! I never expected to be able to serve as a city wall for Pei Changyun in this life!"
Ye Shu gritted his teeth.
He was approached by Zhou Jiuya, who temporarily gave Wan Jiang control authority and asked him to rush to the palace to stop Jiang Ci.
When Wan Jiang left the factory, only Zhou Jiuya and Ye Shu could match it in terms of mental threshold and strength. However, Zhou Jiuya was better, so he got Wan Jiang.
In this emergency situation, the only person Zhou Jiuya could trust and who could stop Jiang Ci was Ye Shu.
Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely.The circular platform on the tower let out a sigh.
"Ah...Chengyue, is that compassion?"
This was Huo Xianfeng's voice, but it was Huo Chao's tone.
Pei Changyun shook his head and answered him,
"No, Min Min is dead. That's the child she had with Jiang Jin. His name is Ah Ci."
At the same time, during the fierce battle, Jiang Ci also saw the two familiar figures on the tower. Before he could let go of his heart, he saw the clear close-up shot captured by Cheng Yue.
That was indeed Huo Xianfeng's face.
However, it wasn't the familiar eyes or the familiar expression. Even Jiang Ci, who had learned lip language, could clearly read the other person's mouth shape at this moment.
"...That's it."
The man was stunned for a moment, then showed a broken and forced smile,
"The child of Mercy is so like her."
"..."
At this moment, He Zhun's words filled Jiang Ci's brain.
[They wax and wane. If Huo Chao survives, Huo Xianfeng will die.]
This was probably the first time Jiang Ci had tasted despair. He felt cold all over. All his strength seemed to be drained out at this moment, but the next second, another power as hot as molten molten water poured in.
"Give him back to me..."
Those crimson pupils were so deep that they were almost bleeding.
"Give him back to me!!!"
boom!!!
The next second, the huge silver mecha shot Wan Jiang flying nearly a hundred meters, directly smashing dozens of buildings.The loud rumbling noises are endless.The next second, the palace guards immediately stepped forward to fill the vacancy of the generals.
The terrifying loud noise caused the tower to shake, but Pei Changyun didn't care, as if he had expected it.He suddenly asked,
"Huo Chao, are you in pain?"
"..."
Huo Chao knew what he was asking, because part of Cecilia's words was indeed true.
"It doesn't hurt."
He showed the same smile as before, like the sun, making people feel warm at the sight of him.
"When I think that all our dreams can come true, I feel... very happy."
Our dream refers to Huo Xianfeng's revenge and rebirth, Huo Chao's freedom, and Pei Changyun's desire to build a beautiful country with his own hands.
A dream for the three of them.
Pei Changyun covered his eyebrows and looked like he wanted to cry for a moment.
Pei Changyun loved everything about Huo Chao.
Love his tolerance, kindness, bravery, gentleness...
Love his soul as warm as the morning sun.
In short, it seems that all the good qualities of human beings can be piled on that person.
But it was these that forced him to die.
Forcing him to go to a bloody and extremely painful sacrifice without any hesitation.
"By the way, Changyun."
Huo Chao wanted to change the subject, but he always remembered to ask,
"You said before that there was something you wanted to tell me when I came back. What was it?"
"..."
It's a child.
It was a little life they had given birth to together.
At this moment, Pei Changyun actually really wanted to ask -
If, if I say that we... we once gave birth to a life together, briefly...
Will you choose to live for him...for us, Huo Chao?
Will you be a little selfish for us?
But in the end, Pei Changyun didn't ask.
Because even if you say it, what can you do?
Do you want to say that the reason why the child passed away was because of Huo Chao's white lies, which caused him to fall into countless roses?
Talking about this matter has no meaning other than making Huo Chao leave with guilt and pain.
Pointless.
So it would be fine if he alone knew this secret.
It is better for one person to bear one share of pain than to have it divided into two.
"I, I wanted to say..."
Pei Changyun put down his hand and smiled hard at him,
"Wish you a safe journey, and if you can't come back, that's okay."
"Huo Chao, I wish your... dreams come true."
Also...a worthy death.
"That's it."
Huo Chao was stunned. He knew that Pei Changyun was not telling the truth, but he still chose to believe it.
"Um!"
Pei Changyun saw a golden undercurrent gradually emerging from his left eye, which was very dazzling and beautiful in the setting sun.
He replaced the medicine.
When he got the tube of golden liquid from Cecilia that day, Pei Changyun secretly sent it back to the Capital Academy of Sciences.
After more than two months of research, what was finally obtained was not a medicine that allowed Huo Chao to replace Huo Xiafeng, but a medicine that completely separated Huo Chao from Huo Xiafeng's body.
"I'm sorry, Changyun."
Huo Chao looked at him seriously, as if he wanted to remember his last face.
"I'm really leaving this time."
"……It doesn't matter."
The day Pei Changyun confirmed that he fell in love with Huo Chao was when Chao Ri was born.
He fell from the tower.Huo Chao hugged him.
Pei Changyun heard his heart beating crazily.It seemed as if he was going to crash into the other person's chest from his own chest.
The day when Pei Changyun and Huo Chao said goodbye completely was sunset.
The setting sun was like blood, and the entire sky was dark red.It was as if... it was Huo Chao's blood that dyed them red.
"Goodbye, Huo Chao."
Never seen again.
We say goodbye forever.
At this moment, Pei Changyun couldn't hug him, or even touch him briefly.
He could only capture another dissipating soul through Huo Xianfeng's face.
This was the second time Pei Changyun watched Huo Chao die.
Just like the first time, there was nothing he could do.
The man's remaining black eye gradually turned golden.At this moment, Pei Changyun suddenly turned around and strode away.
Huo Chao is right, he is always right.
Only now did Pei Changyun realize that there was really nothing he could do... helplessly watch that man die.
"I said Huo Chao, don't cry with my body."
——This is Huo Xianfeng's tone.
"It's so ugly."
"Oooh, I can't help it, Xiaofeng, you know I was born with well-developed tear ducts."
Huo Chao watched Pei Changyun's retreating back and suddenly said,
"Xiao Feng, I have one last wish, can you grant it to me?"
"……What?"
This tone is an agreement.
"I want to see your..."
The next second, Huo Chao's hand opened the belt.
"Ah...lost again."
"Huo Chao——!!!"
Huo Xianfeng's voice turned angry.
"you……"
Having said this, Huo Xianfeng's angry expression suddenly froze, because at this time, the star belonging to Huo Chao completely disappeared.
At this time, Pei Changyun, who was walking down the tower, saw Jiang Ci rushing up. They looked at each other, and their eyes were both red.
"...he's up there."
After saying that, Pei Changyun passed by and strode away without looking back.
After a moment, he heard Jiang Ci's crying voice coming from above.
"Huo Xianfeng——!"
"Um."
"Huo... Huo Xianfeng..."
"I am here."
"Huo Xianfeng..."
"Well, it's okay."
