AGTCTCC Chapter 63
by VolareChapter 63: Ke Shi Zhuo Might Already Be Dead
Xiang Li smiled and volunteered, “I’ll cheer you on from below.”
He said it with a clear conscience, not feeling at all that his “relying on a sugar daddy” or “bullying others” demeanor was problematic.
Chu Qi’s face lacked a smile, and he suddenly asked, “Xiang Li, what am I in your heart?”
Xiang Li didn’t hesitate, “You’re my boyfriend.”
Hearing this answer, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed through Chu Qi’s eyes very quickly, but the two tacitly didn’t continue to discuss the issue.
Chu Qi was undoubtedly someone Xiang Li liked very much, but beautiful things are always fleeting.
Like they had said before, Chu Qi couldn’t be like Xiang Li, and even if Chu Qi died, Xiang Li wouldn’t even be able to commit suicide for love.
Chu Qi watched Xiang Li, who was muttering “cheer up” and rummaging for something, his lips pressed pale.
Xiang Li’s emotions were very fragmented. He really liked Chu Qi, but sometimes he quickly withdrew himself from that emotion, like a selfish actor.
He knew what was beneficial to him. When everything was fine, he’d coax you with a few words, and you’d be his favorite.
When something happened, all his loving actions were just part of a tease, and even more, you might be just a step in his plan.
Chu Qi wasn’t a fool either; he naturally saw it.
It was just that the two of them tacitly didn’t make it explicit, letting this ambiguity spread.
Chu Qi lowered his eyes, his long, thick eyelashes obscuring the emotions brewing in his eyes.
At this time, a certain test subject of Wu Zhen, seeing the two people who had come to challenge him, only said, “Okay.”
After saying that, he turned around to go play a jigsaw puzzle game with Xue Hu Su.
Wu Zhen was obviously not interested in this matter.
Qi Xiao had just spent a long time explaining the meaning of “Wu Kun” to him and had finally coaxed him. Seeing the two people, he stepped forward and separated them.
Just then, Ke Shi Zhuo came in and, seeing Xiang Li, took a deep breath.
Ke Shi Zhuo pointed at Qi Xiao and started to complain, “Brother, she, she turned Ke Man into a robot, an inhuman N10!”
As soon as the words fell, no one spoke, and everyone’s eyes fell on Qi Xiao.
The latter didn’t panic at all, clapped his hands, and pressed a few buttons on the metal communicator on his wrist.
A few seconds later, “N10” appeared in front of them.
Qi Xiao muddled the waters and deceived people, mainly deceiving Wu Zhen.
After all, the others had brains.
Qi Xiao: “He was going to die, I saved him, just modified him a little, didn’t take his life.”
Wu Zhen nodded, his face writing the words “that makes sense.”
As soon as Ke Shi Zhuo heard this, he wanted to jump up and curse, but before the cursing words could come out, Xiang Li covered his mouth.
Xiang Li reached out, palm up, “Then, give him to us.”
Unaware for a moment, Chu Qi had already approached Qi Xiao, the gun in his hand pressed against Qi Xiao’s forehead.
Xiang Li finally remembered what he had come to do, and took out two spherical ornaments from his pocket.
Xiang Li: “Officer, Spiritual Power, be careful, her Spiritual Power control is very—”
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Qi’s bullet had already been fired.
But midway, the bullet was intercepted by Wu Zhen.
Wu Zhen loosened his hand, and the bullet fell from his palm to the ground with a “clang.”
Wu Zhen scratched the palm of the hand that caught the bullet.
“Hurt.”
Seeing that the pistol wouldn’t work, Chu Qi reached out, his Spiritual Power gathering in his palm.
Around him, the ground clearly sank a distance.
Xiang Li narrowed his eyes.
[Domain].
Chu Qi’s Spiritual Power ability was gravity suppression, and the ability would be absolutely amplified within his Domain.
Xiang Li looked at the range of Chu Qi’s Domain, estimated it, and raised his eyebrows.
[Within the Domain, Spiritual Power is absolute control.]
Chu Qi fixed the Domain on Qi Xiao and Wu Zhen.
Wu Zhen looked puzzled, feeling unable to move, and the Qi Xiao next to him was even worse, his whole body pressed straight to the ground.
Wu Zhen: “Qi Xiao is right.”
Others: “?”
Wu Zhen, still on the previous topic: “She saved N10, and helped him heal, Qi Xiao is good.”
After he finished speaking, his whole body began to change, gradually turning into the appearance of “Fan Yuan Ying,” the transparent membrane wings trembling at a frequency invisible to the naked eye.
Xiang Li stared at the air next to Wu Zhen, as if he had thought of something, and reached out to pull Chu Qi over.
Too late to explain, he forcefully entered Chu Qi’s body with Spiritual Power, disconnecting him from the link to the Spiritual Power Domain.
And just as he disconnected, Wu Zhen’s surroundings began to burn rapidly, the surrounding air seemingly materialized, and “whoosh,” it burned clean.
Wu Zhen blinked his black eyes and walked to Qi Xiao, pulling him up.
“Can’t do this.”
Xiang Li patted Chu Qi’s hand.
“I won’t talk to you, where’s Wu Kun?”
Wu Zhen: “He lied to me, he needs to reflect.”
Then Wu Zhen pushed Ke Man towards Xiang Li.
“Take him.”
Wu Zhen: “We don’t want him.”
Qi Xiao naturally wouldn’t disobey Wu Zhen.
Xiang Li said to Chu Qi, “If Wu Kun doesn’t come out, let’s take Ke Man and Ke Shi Zhuo back first.”
Xiang Li had always believed in holding the culprit responsible and wouldn’t hurt the innocent indiscriminately, even if “Wu Kun” and “Wu Zhen” were the same person, in his mind, he clearly wanted to find “Wu Kun.”
Qi Xiao stared at the backs of Ke Shi Zhuo as they left, narrowing his eyes, unconsciously stroking the small white plaque in his hand.
Wu Zhen caught sight of it, tilted his head, and asked, “What’s this?”
Qi Xiao looked down, looked at the plaque in his hand with “Ke Shi Zhuo” written on it, and stuffed the plaque into Wu Zhen’s hand.
Instructing, “A peace charm, to ensure peace.”
Wu Zhen looked at the words on it and turned his head away, not wanting it.
“Dirty.”
Qi Xiao only froze for a moment, the jade plaque in his hand was warm and emitted a gentle halo.
The owner of the jade plaque looked at Ke Man, pouting, wanting to wake him in a low voice.
The other party didn’t have a trace of emotional change, like a robot that hadn’t been turned on.
Black Spiritual Power went to Xiang Li’s eyes, the black eyes staring at Ke Man, thoughtfully.
Xiang Li: “Let Lao Yan and Yu Han take a look when we get back.”
“At least he’s still alive.”
After saying that, he imperceptibly reached out to pull Chu Qi next to him.
Chu Qi: “.”
Xiang Li was just about to tease him with a few sarcastic words when he heard Ke Shi Zhuo suddenly speak.
Ke Shi Zhuo: “In ten days, the Main Star might have another outbreak of Polluted Entity infection.”
Chu Qi let go of Xiang Li’s hand and turned to look at Ke Shi Zhuo, who was speaking.
Ke Shi Zhuo looked at Ke Man and said slowly.
“Qi Xiao promised me he would release Ke Man—”
Ke Shi Zhuo: “The condition was the Peace Jade Plaque, I gave it.”
Xiang Li: “What is that jade plaque?”
Without Ke Shi Zhuo having to say it, Chu Qi spoke first, “Heterogeneous Source Stone.”
Ke Shi Zhuo “hmmed” in agreement, “The Ke family’s ancestral tomb, the place where the Ke family ancestors were buried, every generation’s blood dripped into that land at birth would nurture a Source Stone.”
Ke Shi Zhuo: “Jade plaques can’t be passed on, they dissipate with the person’s death.”
Ke Shi Zhuo recalled: “Ke Man and I were carved from the same Source Stone.”
Chu Qi nodded, he had the good fortune to have met Ke Shi Zhuo’s and Ke Man’s parents, and the jade plaques in their hands were indeed much larger than theirs.
Ke Shi Zhuo took out the Peace Jade Plaque with “Ke Man” written on it, his fingers couldn’t help stroking the hole made by the bullet.
When they came to find Yan Zhou Ping, he was researching the shielding device. Seeing Ke Man, Yu Han’s eyes lit up.
Ke Shi Zhuo: “How is he?”
Yu Han went up and down, left and right, circling Ke Man and examining him, touching the mechanical arm from time to time.
Yu Han: “A cyborg, similar technology to that Ning Li An, very powerful, how did you guys do it?”
Ke Shi Zhuo: “It was Qi Xiao.”
Yu Han: “.”
Yan Zhou Ping frowned, he looked at Xiang Li to the side, with inquiry in his eyes.
Chu Qi was going to handle matters at this time, they had to prepare for the matter Ke Shi Zhuo had just mentioned.
Xiang Li was right next to him, “Let me go with you,” “More people, more hands,” “And more feet too.”
Yan Zhou Ping: “…”
Ke Shi Zhuo and Yu Han discussed for a long time, and finally concluded that “it’s not difficult to restore his mind.”
After all, unlike Ning Li An, who was already dead, it was just that a metal chip in Ke Man’s body was temporarily suppressing him.
Taking it out would be more troublesome.
Ke Shi Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this result. He walked to Ke Man and hung the jade plaque around the other’s neck.
Ke Man’s eyes were still blank, staring straight ahead, looking at Ke Shi Zhuo, and through Ke Shi Zhuo.
The latter turned around: “I want to go get something to eat.”
Under Xiang Li’s relentless pestering and tantrums, he finally followed Chu Qi.
The Starship was on autopilot, Chu Qi was communicating with Shen Gui and Xing Zi Mu about the matter, and Xiang Li was echoing from the side.
Chu Qi: “The Source Stones we have now can’t support a second outbreak of Polluted Entities. Even if we get through it, we can’t guarantee there won’t be a third or fourth time.”
Xiang Li: “Third and fourth time.”
Chu Qi: “And now it’s not just a problem of Polluted Entities, but also natural disasters. Humanity is being too passive hiding in the barrier.”
Xiang Li: “Passive.”
Chu Qi: “Now we need to reduce the range of the barrier as much as possible, and organize soldiers to start activities outside the barrier, trying to clear the surrounding Polluted Entities as much as possible.”
Xiang Li: “Outside the barrier, Polluted Entities.”
Shen Gui: “.”
Xing Zi Mu: “.”
Chu Qi ignored Xiang Li, and just as Xiang Li was about to continue echoing,
Suddenly, a message popped up on his communicator.
Xiang Li: “?”
From Ke Shi Zhuo.
[Ke Shi Zhuo: They took my jade plaque, wanting to use the energy of the jade plaque to suppress “Wu Zhen” and awaken “Wu Kun.”]
[Ke Shi Zhuo: If this process goes smoothly, ten days.]
Xiang Li stared at the message and directly made a video call to Ke Shi Zhuo.
No one answered.
Then another message.
[Ke Shi Zhuo: Take good care of Ke Man, and his jade plaque.]
Xiang Li looked at this line of message, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
He called Yan Zhou Ping.
Xiang Li: “Lao Yan, where’s Ke Shi Zhuo?”
Yan Zhou Ping was looking for tools to remove the chip from Ke Man’s body, and Ning Le answered the call.
She glanced around: “Don’t know.”
In the background, Zhou Xin Shui brought out another box of tools: “Said he went to get something to eat.”
Xiang Li: “Can you find him around?”
Ning Le closed her eyes, and suddenly an eye appeared in the sky, slowly opening and scanning the surroundings.
A few seconds later.
Ning Le: “No.”
Xiang Li’s eyelashes trembled, the meaning of Ning Le saying no was that she didn’t detect the living aura of Ke Shi Zhuo around.
Xiang Li’s mind suddenly flashed with Ke Shi Zhuo’s sentence.
[Jade plaques can’t be passed on, they dissipate with the person’s death.]
He finally understood what the strange feeling was all about.
He reached out to pull Chu Qi’s clothes next to him, his expression solemn.
Xiang Li: “Ke Shi Zhuo might already be dead.”
“In order to let the jade plaque dissipate.”
