AGTCTCC Chapter 29

Xiang Li squatted on the roof, his long legs folded, the sunlight dazzling above his head.

Half of his face was buried in his clothes, revealing only the high bridge of his nose and extremely handsome eyebrows and eyes, his eyelashes drooping slightly.

His Spiritual Power wandered in every corner of the military school base, searching for all possible traces of Spiritual Power.

There were many people in the military school, and their Spiritual Power was also mixed. In just a short while, Xiang Li felt like his head was about to explode.

Chu Qi, on the other hand, felt as if he was being watched the moment he stepped into the military school. He looked around but saw nothing unusual, frowning and suppressing the strangeness in his heart.

He flipped through the documents in his hand. Ke Shizhuo sat opposite him, his head lowered, his back slightly hunched. Beside him were several other students, their faces filled with worry, anger, and bewilderment.

Ke Shizhuo’s expression was very calm, his Adam’s apple slowly moving up and down.

“Has Ke Man been acting strangely these past few days?” Chu Qi asked.

Hearing Chu Qi’s voice, Ke Shizhuo finally raised his head, took a deep breath, his voice slightly hoarse, filled with deep weariness.

Ke Shizhuo: “No, nothing at all. I couldn’t find him anywhere early in the morning.”

Chu Qi: “Do you know of any places Ke Man might have gone?”

Hearing this, Ke Shizhuo bit his lower lip and shook his head after a long while.

Ke Shizhuo: “My brother and I didn’t used to spend much time together. We only started spending every day together after we entered military school. I… I don’t know much about his affairs.”

Chu Qi nodded. A student beside him spoke up: “Your brother is so capable, nothing will happen to him. Don’t worry too much, Ke the Second!”

Ke Shizhuo didn’t react at all, as if he didn’t even have the strength to nod.

Chu Qi lowered his head. Ke Man’s information was on the first page. In the identification photo in the upper left corner, Ke Man’s chin was slightly pursed, his eyes filled with the firm belief that Chu Qi was familiar with, the young face staring at the camera.

Flipping down, were the information of other missing students.

Tang Hongkuo, Yan Tianhe, You Jie…

Chu Qi closed the documents in his hand, stood up, and the documents were handed to the person beside him.

As he walked out of the room, he bumped into someone. Xiang Li had his hands in his pockets, saw Chu Qi, curved the corners of his lips, and then pushed the door to enter.

Chu Qi: “What are you doing here?”

Xiang Li’s actions were not deliberately concealed, right under Chu Qi’s nose.

He didn’t seem to want to pay attention to Chu Qi, but he still smiled amiably at him, casually fabricating an answer: “Coming back for class.”

Then, before Chu Qi could react, he had already slipped inside. Ke Shizhuo in the room finally showed some expression when he saw Xiang Li.

“Brother,” he said.

“Yeah.” Xiang Li nodded, reached out, palm facing up, and asked the monitoring personnel beside him: “Can I take a look?”

The monitoring personnel first looked at Chu Qi, who had followed in behind him. Seeing the Colonel nod, he handed over the folder he had just received.

Xiang Li simply flipped through two pages and returned the folder.

He reached out and hooked his arm around Ke Shizhuo’s neck, pulling him out. The other party did not struggle and allowed Xiang Li to do as he pleased.

“Eleven people missing, Officer Chu, the security of your Main Star is really not that great.”

As he passed by Chu Qi, Xiang Li didn’t forget to mock Chu Qi.

Chu Qi glanced at him, looking at Xiang Li, who was half leaning on Ke Shizhuo, his eyes deep like a pool of water, with a half-smile, not standing properly.

Seeing him like this, Chu Qi’s face turned cold, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a few degrees, carrying a strong sense of deterrence.

He narrowed his eyes and said, “You know something?”

Xiang Li let go of his hand on Ke Shizhuo’s shoulder, as if competing with Chu Qi to see who was colder, he raised his hand, revealing his empty palm, and tutted twice.

Xiang Li: “If you want to ask someone, please have the attitude of asking someone. Looking like you’re interrogating someone, Chu Qi, there’s a reason why you can’t find a partner.”

After saying that, he didn’t look at Chu Qi’s expression, and pulled Ke Shizhuo out of the room.

Ke Shizhuo’s dormitory.

Xiang Li stared at Ke Shizhuo, who seemed to be in a trance, somewhat puzzled.

Ke Shizhuo wiped his face, and said faintly: “I knew you’d come. Was that you just now?”

Xiang Li changed the subject.

“Why did you say just now that you weren’t familiar with Ke Man before? Aren’t you blood brothers?”

Ke Shizhuo blinked twice, his Adam’s apple sliding again, and explained in a very soft voice.

“Ke Man and I have been at odds since we were young. I don’t accept that he’s the older brother, and he’s not satisfied with my disrespect for him. We both want to be the best at everything.”

“We weren’t in the same academy before. Actually, before you appeared, we hardly spoke to each other.”

Speaking of this, Ke Shizhuo raised his head and stared at the snow-white ceiling, his voice tinged with irony.

“Maybe it’s because you took first place, and we don’t have to compete for that first place anymore, so that month was the best month for our relationship.”

Xiang Li listened quietly beside him, and when he finished speaking, he asked.

“How are you sure your brother is missing? What if he’s just…”

“Ke Man’s token is broken.” Ke Shizhuo reached out, a small, square-shaped peace token lying quietly in his palm.

The words “Ke Man” were written crookedly on it, and there were a few barely perceptible fine marks on the surface of the token.

“This peace token is linked to Ke Man’s Spiritual Form. He may… have encountered some danger.” Ke Shizhuo explained.

He reached out and grabbed the corner of Xiang Li’s clothes, not raising his head.

“Brother, Ke Man, he’ll be okay, right?”

“Why would he suddenly disappear? He usually doesn’t offend anyone, right? Why would he be in danger? Why?”

Ke Shizhuo muttered to himself.

Xiang Li was silent for a long time, snatched the piece of peace token from Ke Shizhuo’s palm, and rubbed the head of the dejected puppy with his other hand.

“Isn’t Colonel Chu around? He’ll be fine.”

Ke Shizhuo wanted to take it back, but was distracted by Xiang Li. He turned his head, trying to dodge Xiang Li’s attack, and his nose twinged, tears welling up in his eyes.

Xiang Li saw that he was about to cry, reached out and took Ke Man’s peace token in his hand, and waved it in front of Ke Shizhuo.

“Lend it to me for a while,” he said, and then quickly ran away.

He wasn’t good at dealing with crying children.

Xiang Li went to find Chu Qi and got straight to the point: “I want to link to your Spiritual Form.”

Chu Qi only glanced at him when Xiang Li came in. Perhaps Xiang Li also felt that it was a bit abrupt, he touched his nose and said euphemistically.

“Just for a moment, I’ll disconnect after the link is over. I think Ke Man’s disappearance is related to Ning Li An and Qi Xiao.”

“What do you want to do?” Chu Qi opened his mouth, his eyes like being filled with strands of sunlight in spring, with warmth, but more of coldness.

Xiang Li was silent, and just when Chu Qi thought he wouldn’t say anything, he slowly said in a hoarse voice.

“My Spiritual Power covers the entire military school. I can simulate someone’s Spiritual Power traces, but I need a Spiritual Form as a medium.”

“Little White will do.”

Chu Qi’s pupils shrank violently, his long black eyelashes trembled slightly, he stared at the other party’s bright black eyes, his ears filled with Xiang Li’s voice.

“You shouldn’t have forgotten how Little White came to be.”

“…Wu Zhen told you.”

Chu Qi lowered his head, his hands resting on the table, his fingertips trembling slightly, the sunlight streaming in through the glass, Chu Qi only felt colder and colder.

“He really tells you everything.” Chu Qi let out a laugh from his throat.

Xiang Li: “…”

The hand hanging down clenched slightly, the tip of his tongue was gently bitten by him, until a faint taste of rust came from his mouth.

“Okay,” Chu Qi said softly, this voice seemed to drain the blood from Chu Qi’s face, his pale lips were gently bitten by him.

For some reason, Xiang Li felt inexplicably unhappy seeing Chu Qi like this.

A white ball appeared in Chu Qi’s palm, hopping and skipping, jumping one step at a time in front of Xiang Li, his black eyes staring at him unblinkingly.

Xiang Li stretched out a finger and gently tapped the silver-white ball. Chu Qi watched coldly, not forgetting to warn.

“Put away your claws.”

Xiang Li’s fingertip paused in the air, and then obediently retracted his fingertip, pressing his palm on the table.

Black Spiritual Power, like a small snake, drilled out from under Xiang Li’s palm, slowly moving towards the white ball. The silver-white ball seemed to know what was about to happen, and proactively moved towards the black little snake.

Finally, the little snake wrapped around the white ball, tightening more and more, until the white ball burst into a cloud of mist, along with the black little snake.

Chu Qi watched the scene in front of him coldly, expressionless, but his heart was stirred up with a shock.

That was a long time ago, before “Wu Zhen” left without saying goodbye.

At that time, Chu Qi passed the military school assessment, just like Xiang Li, and that night he was packing his luggage to prepare to leave the next day to go to the military school base in advance.

“Wu Zhen” didn’t know when he came, sitting cross-legged on the bed, one hand propping up his chin and staring at Chu Qi’s movements.

“You’re late today,” Chu Qi glanced at him and said in a low voice, a hint of complaint could be heard in his awkwardness.

“Wu Zhen” defended himself.

“It was only a few minutes late.” After saying that, he tilted his head, the moonlight outside the window seemed to be contained in his eyes, and his eyes rippled with starlight-like smiles.

“You were staring at the time waiting for me?”

Chu Qi: “…” (Seriously packing luggage version)

“Wu Zhen” stared at the clothes he was packing in his hands, and waited for Xiao Chu Qi’s answer, pursed his lips, and sighed.

“Hey, if you go to military school, I won’t be able to see you every day.”

“Can’t you sneak into the military school?” Chu Qi turned his head, at the age of seventeen, his face had much less flesh than when he was a child, and his every move was a bit like a little adult.

“I can, but it’s tiring,” Xiang Li joked.

The next second, Chu Qi threw away the folded clothes in his hand.

“Then I won’t go.”

“Huh?”

“Wu Zhen” hadn’t reacted yet, when he saw Chu Qi had already climbed onto the bed, without even taking off his shoes, and hugged him.

Chu Qi’s head was resting on Xiang Li’s shoulder, his nose pressed against Xiang Li’s collarbone, and his voice was muffled.

“I promised to be with you,” he said awkwardly.

“Wu Zhen” was caught off guard by Chu Qi’s actions, one hand propped on the bed, the other hand gently patting Chu Qi’s back, his Adam’s apple rolling up and down.

Feeling the slight trembling of the person under his hand, “Wu Zhen” sighed, unable to understand.

Why does he cry more and more as he gets older?

But then he remembered Yan Zhouping telling him during the day to return to Planet C079, frowned, and glanced at the back of the person on his body.

A bit difficult.

He pulled Chu Qi aside to sit down, put on the airs of a parent, and looked Chu Qi up and down.

Confused: “You’re seventeen, why hasn’t your Spiritual Power been developed yet?”

Chu Qi lowered his eyelashes and didn’t speak.

Xiang Li took Chu Qi’s hand, palm facing up.

“You try to gather your Spiritual Power in your palm, don’t let it run around.”

At this moment, the whole room was full of silver-white Spiritual Power beams, which looked very similar to the way Chu Qi couldn’t gather his Spiritual Power in his palm at that time, causing his Spiritual Power to run all over the room.

Xiang Li felt Chu Qi’s gaze, and had a vaguely bad premonition, noticed that Chu Qi was about to speak, and immediately closed his eyes.

“I’m going to start, don’t talk.”

Chu Qi: “…”
