AGTCTCC Chapter 55
by VolareQi Xiao was wearing a very simple cheongsam, her hair in a bun, she really liked this look.
Qi Xiao noticed Ning Le’s gaze, reached out and touched her hair, smiling apologetically.
“Does it look good?”
After she said this, Ning Le’s face couldn’t hide her disdain, the circular mechanical cloud disk she was stepping on “clicked” twice, changing shape.
Ning Le jumped off the cloud disk, her gaze scanning the room again.
“Why isn’t Dad here? Did the—failed product expire?”
She spoke slowly, emphasizing the words “failed product”, making it sound more like a reminder.
The smile on Qi Xiao’s face remained unchanged, she just coaxed softly, “Darling, Mom knows you resent Mom, but Mom has a reason why she had to leave—”
Before she could say what the reason was, the light panel on the main screen in the room suddenly began to flash a red warning light.
The screen automatically switched to a picture, and when she saw the person in the picture, her expression couldn’t help but show a moment of shock.
The piercing warning buzz also clearly attracted Shen Gui’s attention next to her, and he also saw the person on the screen, momentarily puzzled.
Sang Quan? (Lost Rights)
In the picture, in the house Qi Xiao filled out when she was pretending to be “Wu Zhen,” Sang Quan Shi Li had already pushed open the door and was in the living room, with only a radiation gun in his hand.
His expression looked very vigilant, and no one knew how he found this place.
The room hadn’t changed much since Xiang Li’s last visit, Sang Quan gripped the gun in his hand, swallowed, and turned the house upside down.
Unable to find anything unusual, it was simply the structure of a house.
Qi Xiao stared at the person on the screen, her eyebrows furrowed very tightly.
Her fingers flew across the main keyboard, and just then Shen Gui suddenly ran over from the side.
He reached for the dagger at his waist, about to put it to Qi Xiao’s neck.
The other party didn’t dodge at all, and just as the tip of the sharp dagger was about to reach Qi Xiao, it was blocked by an arm, the dagger and the arm colliding with a “clang.”
The dagger tore through the clothing, slicing across that arm, creating a series of sparks.
Ning Le watched them fight expressionlessly, until Ning Li An came out, under the torn clothing, a section of metallic luster was abruptly revealed on the arm that should have been human skin.
If it were anyone else, Ning Le might have thought it was some new type of defensive gear, but—this was Ning Li An.
Her father, who six hundred years ago threw himself into an experiment and ultimately failed.
Ning Le’s gaze turned to Qi Xiao again, her eyebrows slightly raised.
Her good mother actually made her husband into a simulacrum.
She didn’t know how many years it took to make this thing, after leaving Planet C079 back then, Ning Li An’s physical condition shouldn’t have been enough to support him for four hundred years, right?
Ning Le didn’t seem to have any intention of helping, it seemed she really just came to say hello to her parents.
Without Shen Gui’s disturbance, Qi Xiao finally completed the instruction release.
Beside the main base, a titanium alloy steel plate was lifted. A pile of seemingly copy-pasted robots lined up and rushed towards the direction of Sang Quan Shi Li.
Sang Quan Shi Li was completely unaware that a large group of robots were about to come and cause him trouble.
He was currently standing in the living room, not moving for a few seconds, then slowly moved to under the living room table, stretching his arm out.
After a few seconds, a “click” sound rang in Sang Quan Shi Li’s ears.
“!”
It opened.
The shape of the table in front of him began to fold and change, like some kind of transforming robot.
Seeing the secret passage that appeared before his eyes, Sang Quan Shi Li’s mind was still a little dazed.
He just searched according to the construction habits of his home, but he didn’t expect there to really be a secret passage.
The secret passage seemed to have been unused for a long time, quietly and automatically draping a layer of terrifying gauze in the uninhabited room at this moment.
Sang Quan Shi Li felt that his heart was beating a little abnormally, since this morning, his body seemed to be a little out of control.
He clearly just improved the mech components in the forging room, he didn’t know why he opened his eyes and ended up here.
During the day, the sunlight shone through the opened door of the secret passage, casting a small area.
Sang Quan Shi Li couldn’t find the light switch, and after feeling around his body, he couldn’t find anything that could illuminate the area.
Sang Quan Shi Li stretched out his palm, a small ball of Spiritual Power appeared in his hand, slowly emitting a faint glow.
After Ning Le saw that glowing Spiritual Power ball, her gaze seemed to stick to it and couldn’t move away.
The Spiritual Power ball didn’t seem to listen to Sang Quan Shi Li very well, trying to escape from Sang Quan Shi Li’s surroundings several times. Sang Quan Shi Li was able to grab it back each time, he didn’t seem to use his Spiritual Power often.
Sang Quan Shi Li used the light to observe this place, glass instruments, corpses, photos…
Sang Quan Shi Li’s gaze fixed on the photos hanging on the wall, and his heart seemed to reach its peak frequency at this moment.
Sang Quan Shi Li: “!”
There were three people in the photos, looking like a family portrait, a couple and a…child.
The three of them looked very restrained, only the young mother had a smile on her lips, the child and the young man were pursing their lips, looking at the scene expressionlessly.
Ning Le also looked at the family portrait, inexplicably finding the couple somewhat familiar.
Sang Quan Shi Li’s gaze slowly moved from the faces of the young couple to the child’s face, and then slowly moved from the child to the faces of the young couple.
“Mom…”
Sang Quan Shi Li murmured.
This sentence instantly silenced the main base.
Shen Gui dodged Ning Li An’s attack, looked at the screen, his face puzzled.
He remembered this house, Xiang Li had been there, it seemed to be…Qi Xiao’s territory.
Mom?
Sang Quan Shi Li stared at the photo, his eyes lost for a moment, the Spiritual Power ball lost his confinement and began to run to the side.
The photo became darker and darker, and Sang Quan seemed to come back to his senses, reaching out to grab the Spiritual Power ball.
The Spiritual Power ball was now sticking to a piece of skin hanging on the wall, a small halo rubbing against it.
There wasn’t just one piece of skin hanging on the wall, there were pieces after pieces next to each other.
Sang Quan Shi Li’s body stiffened after seeing it, his hand seemed to tremble.
He carefully took down the piece of skin, his eyes tracing it carefully.
Sang Quan Shi Li took a deep breath, then reached out to get the piece of skin next to him, looking, taking, looking, taking…
His movements were very fast, mostly just looking for two or three seconds before going to get the next piece of skin.
When he was about to take it, he found that there were no pieces left on the wall at this moment, he stared at the piece of skin in his hand that had become wrinkled.
He didn’t move for a full minute, as if confirming something, and finally collapsed on the ground as if he had lost his strength.
He lowered his head, his fingers clenched tightly, not caring that there was a lot of dust here, his breathing becoming heavier and heavier.
Qi Xiao’s gaze was fixed on the screen, not caring about the two uninvited guests here.
At this time, the robots had arrived at that house, the robots skillfully scanned and searched, and finally found Sang Quan Shi Li in the secret room.
Mechanical arms stretched out from both sides of the round mechanical body, Sang Quan Shi Li didn’t react at all, his body was propped up by the mechanical arms, and the pieces of skin in his hand were scattered all over the ground.
He lowered his head, his fine black hair blocking his forehead, covering half of his face.
Qi Xiao couldn’t say whether she breathed a sigh of relief or what after seeing the end, she cut off the picture on the screen, and the first thing she saw after turning around was Ning Le looking at her as well.
Qi Xiao: “…”
She turned her head to Ning Li An who was fighting with Shen Gui beside her and said, “Ning, that kid—”
The moment she finished speaking, Ning Le teleported to Shen Gui.
The meaning was self-evident.
Qi Xiao paused for two seconds, Ning Li An didn’t intend to move Shen Gui, he reached out and carried Xing Zi Mu who was still unconscious.
Qi Xiao: “Wu Zhen wants to cooperate with you, we naturally won’t slap our partner in the face.”
She looked at Ning Le again: “Originally this time was just to show our hand, Ning Le, you should know, even with you, the two of you have no chance of winning against me and Ning.”
“Take your friend back.”
Ning Le didn’t say anything, Shen Gui still wanted to say something, but was also stopped by Ning Le.
Ning Le grabbed Shen Gui’s sleeve, and Shen Gui instantly felt as if his Spiritual Power was paralyzed, along with his body, unable to exert any strength.
Ning Le grabbed Shen Gui and pushed him towards the elevator.
Ning Le: “I gave you an order, you go back and find Lao Yan, Mom and I haven’t seen each other for a long time, I want to—chat.”
After saying that, regardless of the rejection in Shen Gui’s eyes, she directly closed the door.
Qi Xiao also waited for the door to close completely, making a buzzing sound of operation, before asking Ning Le.
“What do you want to ask?”
Ning Le: “Who was that person just now, who is he to you?”
Qi Xiao paused after hearing this, Ning Le frowned, staring at the disgusting emotion that was revealed in Qi Xiao’s eyes.
Time passed by every minute, but no one was anxious.
Qi Xiao finally looked at Ning Le: “It’s nothing.”
Ning Le rolled her eyes, only a ghost would believe that, she would die suddenly, even if she looked up at Qi Xiao at this moment, she wouldn’t fall behind at all.
On the contrary, raising her head made her look even more arrogant.
Ning Le: “If you don’t say it, I don’t mind personally asking that person called ‘Sang Quan Shi Li’.”
“He seems to have discovered something, Mom?”
The smile on Qi Xiao’s face finally froze, and then slowly pulled down the corners of her mouth, staring coldly at Ning Le.
Ning Le laughed out loud at this moment.
She laughed happily, her laughter mixed with malicious words: “That’s right, Mom, you were never a gentle person.”
Ning Le imitated Qi Xiao’s previous tone, speaking softly.
“What are you pretending for, Qi Xiao?”
Qi Xiao didn’t get angry or anything because of this sentence, she re-tuned a picture on the main screen.
Looking at the picture, it should be in the interrogation room, and the prisoner was Sang Quan Shi Li, whom they were discussing.
His hands and feet were bound by silver-white metal bracelets, he lowered his head, his eyes were empty, his throat rolled up and down monotonously with the swallowing action.
Once, twice…
Qi Xiao stared at him, turned to Ning Le and introduced after two seconds.
“This is your younger brother.”
Ning Le: “When did you adopt him? Looking at it, it’s only been more than twenty years, right, to be able to let you entrust your overflowing emotions to him?”
Qi Xiao corrected Ning Le’s words: “Biological, my son, your younger brother.”
After he finished speaking, Ning Le’s mood became even worse.
“I’m not in the mood to play with you.”
They can only eternally stay before the laboratory explosion, otherwise she wouldn’t have been an eight-year-old child for six hundred years.
No one can change it.
Qi Xiao quietly stared at Ning Le, hooked her lips, as if finally showing off her masterpiece to others, the expression on her face seemed to say “Why don’t you believe it.”
Ning Le: “…”
After a few seconds, she slowly said.
“So, the reason you betrayed C079 in the first place was because of him?”
Qi Xiao shook her head: “Ning, he was the first experimenter to start researching reagents from that pile of experimental products and actually using them on the body.”
“It wasn’t until it was really confirmed to be safe that we let our mother and daughter use it, the explosion didn’t kill him, but your father’s body was getting worse and worse.”
Qi Xiao: “He needs treatment, C079 is too backward after the explosion, we need more advanced technology and civilization.”
Qi Xiao: “Darling, we can’t give up on your father, we can only go to the Main Star to find a way—”
Ning Le was a little angry at this moment: “Then why did you start human experiments in the first place!”
“Do you know how painful our special period is, six hundred years! Sometimes we would rather die happily!”
“I am desperate every time because of the rapid healing of the wound!”
Ning Le: “Lao Yan, Zhou Xinshui, Xiang Li, Bai Yan, Xue Hu Su, and countless people who died in your experiments, were any of the people who were forced to be captured for the division experiment willing?!”
Qi Xiao was puzzled by her question, a look of doubt appeared on her face, why would Ning Le, her good daughter, ask this.
Qi Xiao: “Human beings must learn to break through if they want to progress, there will always be someone who has to sacrifice, right, we can’t ignore others just because they are the ones who sacrificed.”
“We let them play their role in human history, selfishness is the worst root of human beings!”
Qi Xiao said coldly, she slowly uttered the slogan that all human beings are familiar with.
“Human interests are above all else!”
Qi Xiao: “And didn’t we finally experiment with the reagents on ourselves as well? Did we evade it!”
Ning Le had a headache, her emotions fluctuated too much, her voice became hoarse.
“So, you abandoned me, just wanted my brother.”
Qi Xiao was like a mother who was gently persuading her daughter at this moment: “Ning Le, you don’t understand, Sang Quan is 【Alive】.”
Ning Le really didn’t understand, she breathed very, very slightly a few times, unable to breathe through her nose, so she opened her mouth and breathed very, very slightly, and then asked in a very light voice.
“Mom, little brother is 【Alive】, am I 【Dead】?”
