AGTCTCC Chapter 65
by VolareChapter 65 ‘Wu Kun’ is the main soul…
Xiang Li placed Ke Shizhuo’s body in the cryogenic chamber, surrounded by frozen air tightly enveloping it.
Ning Le watched from the side, the mist sticking to her slightly.
She stared at the skin that was starting to harden and turn black due to the cold, with ice crystals even beginning to appear in some areas.
Ning Le didn’t react much, “Xiang Li.”
Xiang Li glanced down at her, the small child acting like a little adult, hands in pockets, coldly watching the scene before her.
She looked up at Xiang Li, who raised a hand and handed her a machete.
The size of the machete was well-suited to Ning Le’s small stature. She picked up the machete and without hesitation, extended it towards her own arm.
Xing Zi Mu, who had rushed over, pushed open the door and saw a child holding a knife, chopping off her own arm, without a single expression on her face, then picking up the severed arm again.
Xing Zi Mu: “.”
Xiang Li also noticed the movement here and looked over. Xing Zi Mu walked over and took out a square cube from his pocket.
Xiang Li glanced sideways, “Why are you here?”
Xing Zi Mu didn’t speak. He turned his palm over, and a dark silver cube silently floated up, humming and hovering above Ke Shizhuo’s body, followed by a virtual blue light projecting down.
The old-style combat suit on Ke Shizhuo’s chest rippled—
Nanoparticles, like awakened silver tides, surged between the weaves, the fiber structure disintegrating and reorganizing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Angular, sharp alloy armor began to condense first on the shoulder blades.
Precisely interlocking metal buttons emerged one after another along the midline, silver thread embroidery growing on the dark fabric, as if invisible ice needles were piercing and connecting.
When the last gilded trim was finished condensing on the cuff, the blue light suddenly shrank into hair-thin strands of light.
The volume of the silver cube more than doubled during the contraction process, and with undissipated energy, it returned to Xing Zi Mu’s palm.
His thumb pressed against a dark pattern on the cube, and accompanied by a clear sound like crystal shattering, a black wide-brimmed hat popped out of the folded space, the dark pattern on the brim being countless intertwined ears of wheat and gears.
Before long, Ke Shizhuo’s whole appearance had completely changed.
The black uniform was neat and serious, the Empire’s iris emblem brooch quietly attached to the uniform, the shoulders decorated with sharp metal armor, as well as silver embroidery and gilded trim on the uniform.
Xing Zi Mu ignored the surrounding cold air, placing the hat beside Ke Shizhuo.
As he stepped into the range of the cold air, the Source Stone belt on his waist began to glow slightly, forming a protective shield around him so he wouldn’t be frostbitten.
Xiang Li watched quietly, Ning Le having left after her arm grew back.
After completing everything, Xing Zi Mu finally spoke.
“He is a benefactor of the Empire, and should enjoy the highest level of treatment.”
Xiang Li didn’t bother to delve into what the so-called highest level of treatment specifically meant, it didn’t matter to the dead.
Xiang Li: “I want to know, Qi Xiao clearly killed your grandfather, Commander Xing Qing Kun. What did she say that made you put it aside and listen to her?”
As the words fell, the entire room fell silent for two seconds.
Xing Zi Mu slowly took two breaths before saying the thing he didn’t want to mention: “I don’t have Spiritual Power.”
Xiang Li glanced at the Source Stone belt on his waist, noncommittal.
It was obvious.
Xing Zi Mu: “Humans who can possess and develop Spiritual Power are destined to be heroes from the start. Unfortunately, I am not one of them.”
“But also very lucky, because I have a grandfather who is an Empire commander.”
Speaking of this, Xing Zi Mu’s eyes fell, staring at the iris emblem on Ke Shizhuo’s chest.
The cold air touched the metal, condensing a few ice beads on it.
Xing Zi Mu: “People who develop Spiritual Power are given high hopes because they are the guarantee of protecting humanity. So the Empire will try its best to allow people with Spiritual Power to marry each other.”
“This way, their children will also be Spiritual Power users.”
Xing Zi Mu fell into reminiscence.
“I heard stories about my father and mother from my aunt when I was little.”
“They said that my father was a colonel at the time, very popular, but my mother was an ordinary person without Spiritual Power.”
Xing Zi Mu: “She was very smart, working in the laboratory at the time, and it was easy to interact with my father at work. Over time, my father fell in love with my mother.”
Xiang Li wasn’t interested in other people’s gossip. Although he was listening carefully on the surface, he was secretly sending messages to Chu Qi.
[Xiang Li: Officer, want to have dinner together tonight?]
The other side didn’t reply, so Xiang Li kept bombarding him with messages.
Xing Zi Mu continued: “My grandfather didn’t agree and forced my father and mother to separate.”
“My father had a big argument with my grandfather. He wanted to elope with my mother. My mother didn’t agree. At that time, my mother was found to be pregnant with me.”
“Later, my father died on a mission.”
“My grandfather found my mother and wanted her to give birth to me. My mother agreed.”
“As expected, I was born as an ordinary person.”
Xing Zi Mu’s expression suddenly became lonely: “Later, my mother married someone else. The other person was also a Spiritual Power user and loved my mother very much. They also had a child.”
“Unexpectedly, that child was actually a Spiritual Power user.”
As he spoke, Xing Zi Mu’s gaze fell on the bouquet of irises that Xiang Li had bought back.
His voice was very faint: “Later, they opened the only flower shop on the Main Star.”
Xiang Li’s typing hand paused, following Xing Zi Mu’s gaze to look at the bouquet of flowers.
Xiang Li: “.”
Xiang Li: “Qin Lai?”
Xing Zi Mu: “Mm.”
Xing Zi Mu continued: “Because I was the only bloodline, even though I was an ordinary person, my grandfather had high expectations for me, but I hated him very much.”
Xiang Li was a little confused. He put down chatting with Chu Qi, his brow slightly furrowed in confusion.
“Since your father knew long ago that he couldn’t be with your mother, he shouldn’t have provoked your mother in the first place, wasting both of their time.”
Xiang Li: “Or, he could have agreed on the outcome from the beginning, and the two of them could have enjoyed this time together, then parted ways amicably, wouldn’t that have been better?”
He spoke his own understanding, not really empathizing with the story of Xing Zi Mu’s parents.
Xiang Li: “For things where the outcome is destined from the start, things that can’t be changed even with effort, why do that useless work?”
Xing Zi Mu gave Xiang Li a deep look, his eyes filled with very complex emotions.
Xing Zi Mu thought for a while: “So, is that how it is with you and Chu Qi too?”
Xiang Li was stunned, not knowing why it was being brought up to him and Chu Qi. After thinking about it, he still didn’t think there was anything in common.
Xiang Li asked in confusion: “How so?”
Xing Zi Mu didn’t speak. He packed his things and was about to say goodbye to Xiang Li.
Xing Zi Mu: “There are still some things to deal with on the Main Star, I’ll go first.”
Xing Zi Mu ran into Xue Hu Su who had just returned as he was leaving.
Xue Hu Su: “Vice Captain Xing.”
Xing Zi Mu “Mm”-ed in response, taking it as a greeting, then turned and left.
Ning Le was sitting on the sofa, playing with the projection TV in front of her, and didn’t turn her head when she heard Xue Hu Su’s voice.
Ning Le: “You’re back? Did that Wu Xing drag you to play again?”
Xue Hu Su collapsed onto another single sofa next to Ning Le, picked up a sofa pillow from the side, and pressed it against his face, looking like he wanted to suffocate himself to death.
His voice was muffled: “Mm, I feel like I’m not clean anymore.”
Ning Le: “.”
Xue Hu Su’s voice continued to come through the thick, soft pillow.
“He touched me all over, and he exploited my Spiritual Form.”
Xue Hu Su wailed: “If only I had gone to play with the Zerg with White Eyes back then, following Hill.”
Xiang Li ignored Xue Hu Su’s wails. He poured himself a glass of water and asked.
“Is that all?”
Naturally, Xue Hu Su couldn’t have just been playing with that Wu Xing. The most important thing was to find out their information.
Speaking of this, Xue Hu Su rescued himself from the pillow, which he stuffed behind his back.
Xue Hu Su: “Um… wait, let me think.”
“I feel like my brain was installed backwards by him.”
The others: “…”
Ning Le kindly offered to help: “Then I’ll help you install it back?”
As she spoke, she reached out to lift Xue Hu Su’s skull.
Xue Hu Su hugged his head, looking vigilant and helpless: “Get lost!”
An adult was being suppressed by a child. Xue Hu Su always remembered not to let Ning Le touch his body.
Only because once Xue Hu Su exploded, if Ning Le was nearby, he would definitely not be able to piece himself back into a man.
Ning Le was just pretending. Xiang Li took a sip of water and watched them Furious, while Zhou Xin Shui ignored the movement here and went into the kitchen.
Xue Hu Su moved another position away from Ning Le with lingering fear.
Xiang Li: “So, did you get anything out of him?”
Xue Hu Su raised his hand: “Yes!”
“‘Wu Kun’ and ‘Wu Xing’ are two completely independent, different soul personalities.” Xue Hu Su reached out and gave everyone a “yay” gesture.
Xiang Li: “.”
Xue Hu Su: “‘Wu Xing’ likes the Main Star very much, but ‘Wu Kun’ holds great malice towards the Main Star, no, towards humans.”
He said: “When we were fighting last time, ‘Wu Kun’s’ soul came out once, when Qi Xiao came to find him.”
Xue Hu Su crossed his arms, his eyes slightly raised, his brow furrowed, recalling the scene at that time.
“At that time, Qi Xiao seemed to be holding a white Brand brand, and as soon as that thing was taken out, ‘Wu Xing’ completely changed, and then ‘Wu Kun’ came out.”
Xue Hu Su: “Later, I don’t know why, that thing suddenly disappeared, and then ‘Wu Xing’ came back.”
Xiang Li’s brow also furrowed upon hearing this. The brand Hu Su was talking about was probably Ke Shizhuo’s Ping An Card.
But why could Ke Shizhuo’s Ping An Card suppress Wu Xing?
Xue Hu Su continued to talk about what he knew.
“After Qi Xiao left, I asked ‘Wu Xing’ why he suddenly became a different person just now.”
Xue Hu Su: “‘Wu Xing’ said he didn’t know, he just suddenly felt his soul was very tired, something was covering his eyes, and then he couldn’t see anymore.”
Xiang Li: “And then?”
Xue Hu Su spread his hands: “Then nothing, I still wanted to ask him why the two of them were squeezing into one body, ‘Wu Xing’ said…”
Xue Hu Su’s brain suddenly crashed. He reached out and scratched the back of his head, wondering if Wu Xing had really installed his brain backwards.
Xue Hu Su thought for a while: “He said that he was a mutated soul, and ‘Wu Kun’ was the main soul.”
“I didn’t understand what he meant. When I asked him, he didn’t say anything, and he even put my heart in the wrong place.”
As he spoke, Xue Hu Su covered his left chest with a grieved expression.
Ning Le glanced at him and ruthlessly exposed him: “The normal heart is on the left.”
When Xue Hu Su heard this, he closed his eyes, and his fingers, like spider legs, slowly moved towards his right chest: “Aiyo—”
