AGTCTCC Chapter 66
by VolareXiang Li didn’t pay attention to their movements because Chu Qi took the initiative to reply to his message.
[Chu Qi: Come over.]
Xiang Li was thinking about Xing Zi Mu’s parents’ emotions in his heart, and threw the emotions he didn’t understand in his head out after seeing the message.
[Xiang Li: Okay.]
When Xiang Li rushed to Chu Qi’s side, Chu Qi, Shen Gui, and Xing Zi Mu were all there, discussing something.
Xiang Li walked closer and heard their conversation clearly.
Shen Gui stared at a miniature planet in front of him, and when he saw Xiang Li coming over, he handed him a document.
Shen Gui: “This is the interstellar area around your Planet C079, take a look, is it about right?”
Xiang Li took a closer look at the holographic miniature of the planet they were surrounding, and it was indeed Planet C079.
“What, are you planning to attack Planet C079?” Xiang Li said with his arms crossed, as if joking.
Chu Qi stared at the page data information projected from the communicator on his wrist, and said casually, “If you can give it, we would be happy to accept it.”
Xiang Li naturally couldn’t give it; these words were just a joke to ease the atmosphere.
“Let’s talk business,” Chu Qi said with a serious expression. He enlarged the Planet C079 in front of him, pointing to a place on it, and said, “Hill sent us a message that there is a strange frequency constantly spreading around on Planet C079.”
Xiang Li’s gaze followed Chu Qi’s finger, and his expression changed when he saw it clearly.
Chu Qi continued: “The initial suspicion is that this frequency is causing the Polluted Entities to gather towards the Main Star, ignoring the Source Stone magnetic field of the barrier.”
As Chu Qi spoke, his gaze, like the other two, fell on Xiang Li’s face.
The latter’s face didn’t show a confused expression, but rather a feeling that was hard to describe.
Shen Gui asked, “Do you know something?”
Xiang Li was silent for two seconds, didn’t answer his question, but turned around and sent a video call to Yan Zhou Ping.
The communication page lit up for a long time before being connected.
The first to appear was Xue Hu Su’s face. He gnawed on an apple, poked his head over, and greeted the people behind Xiang Li.
Xue Hu Su: “(^-^)/”
Xiang Li asked, “Where’s Lao Yan?”
Xue Hu Su subconsciously made a sound, and on the virtual screen, he held the apple in his mouth and turned the camera in a direction, aiming it at Yan Zhou Ping, who was researching Ke Man’s body with Yu Han.
Xue Hu Su: “Lao Yan, Xiang Li is calling you.”
Yan Zhou Ping, who was called, responded, saved the data screen in his hand and put it aside, and the hovering magnetic chair underneath him automatically floated him over.
Yan Zhou Ping: “What’s wrong?”
Xiang Li took a step aside, revealing the holographic simulation of Planet C079 behind him.
Xiang Li pointed to the place that Chu Qi had just pointed to: “This place—”
He didn’t finish the rest of his words. Yan Zhou Ping leaned closer to the screen and was also slightly stunned after seeing it clearly.
Yan Zhou Ping: “?”
This was where the laboratory was originally located on Planet C079.
Yan Zhou Ping just sighed softly: “You guys found out.”
Xiang Li: “.”
When Xiang Li saw the place Chu Qi was pointing to, he knew that Yan Zhou Ping must know something.
The ruins of the laboratory after the explosion had always been where Yan Zhou Ping researched and lived, because of the data left by Ning Li An and Qi Xiao.
And others generally wouldn’t go there because of their disgust or fear of the laboratory.
Xue Hu Su next to him looked puzzled. Because he was eating an apple, his words were slurred: “What’s wrong, what’s wrong, what’s wrong? What do you know?”
Chu Qi exchanged a glance with the two people beside him.
Yan Zhou Ping stared at the simulated Planet C079 and explained: “I didn’t agree with you coming to the Main Star at first.”
Xiang Li nodded, he knew that.
Yan Zhou Ping continued: “I also knew long ago that the antidote from the Main Star wouldn’t work for us. After I knew this, I stopped going out and kept researching the antidote myself.”
“Later, because of the demand for Source Stones, I met Yu Han in the black market.”
Behind him, Yu Han also put down the tools in his hand, and the expression on his wrinkled face was very calm.
Yan Zhou Ping: “I didn’t want you to have too much contact with Chu Qi because we are now in an unsolvable state of time and space. We can’t die, so you and Chu Qi are destined not to be together for long.”
Yan Zhou Ping’s tone was very light, like an elder reasoning with a child.
“From the beginning, I had a premonition that he would affect you, so I had the idea of getting rid of Chu Qi, including the fact that it still exists now.”
Hearing someone say that they wanted to get rid of him, Chu Qi didn’t have any emotional fluctuations and listened quietly.
After hearing Yan Zhou Ping’s words, Xue Hu Su suddenly thought of Yan Zhou Ping’s previous request for him to get rid of Chu Qi, and slowly chewed two mouthfuls of apple.
Yan Zhou Ping: “I found an instrument on Planet C079 that could cause the Polluted Entities to riot, but I never used it.”
As he spoke, his gaze turned to Chu Qi.
“Later, I discovered that the reason why Xiang Li was able to save Colonel Chu was because that machine was activated, but the frequency was very low, so the riot range was very small.”
Yan Zhou Ping: “I now suspect that Qi Xiao and the others did it.”
“He knows Xiang Li’s personality and also guessed that Xiang Li would never let go of the opportunity to use Chu Qi to come to the Main Star. Only if Xiang Li comes to the Main Star—”
Yan Zhou Ping slowly said his guess.
“Xiang Li will definitely cause trouble, and they will do some petty things under Xiang Li’s halo. Even if things get out of hand, the first person Colonel Chu will suspect is Xiang Li.”
Xiang Li (scapegoat): “.”
Chu Qi also remembered the abnormal outbreak of the Polluted Entities during the mission at that time.
If it hadn’t been for the outbreak of the Polluted Entities, Chu Qi wouldn’t have been in danger, and he wouldn’t have been rescued by Xiang Li, and Xiang Li wouldn’t have been able to come to the Main Star.
The room suddenly fell silent, and in the end, Xiang Li broke the silence.
Xiang Li: “So what’s going on now?”
Yan Zhou Ping: “Later, I returned to Planet C079 and found that the instrument had been turned on, so I placed magnetic field interference around it.”
“After all, if the Polluted Entities were to break out on a large scale in interstellar space, it would be quite troublesome for us too.”
Yan Zhou Ping said sincerely, and there was no need to lie.
Xiang Li made a sound of “hmm,” he believed Lao Yan: “Got it.”
Just as he was about to hang up the video call, behind Yan Zhou Ping, Ke Man suddenly turned his head.
The jade pendant on his neck burst out with a faint blue light. The light wasn’t dazzling, but the people in front of him couldn’t help but close their eyes.
When they opened their eyes again, everyone saw that Ke Man, who had been unconscious, suddenly moved his whole body.
In everyone’s sight, Ke Man’s movements gradually increased, and his eyes gradually focused.
Yan Zhou Ping was the first to react and moved the screen that he had moved to the side back again.
Yan Zhou Ping: “What’s—”
Before he could finish his shocked words, Ke Man had already sat up, lifted his eyelids, looked at the people around him, and said in a cold voice, “N10 charging complete.”
“?”
Amidst confused gazes, a metallic finger was raised and gripped the peace charm on his chest.
The look in his eyes was clear for a moment, then turned cold again.
Ke Man: “.”
Chu Qi finally spoke at this moment: “We’ll be over in a while.”
Hearing this, Xiang Li turned his head, and the video call was cut off at this time.
Yan Zhou Ping’s body slowly split into two halves, and his body shape changed into two identical people. One person pulled Yu Han out of the basement.
Not long after, Ning Le and Zhou Xin Shui also came down.
Ning Le’s small face was very tense, and Zhou Xin Shui’s limbs differentiated into countless long, thin strips, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws.
Zhou Xin Shui took the initiative to stand in front of everyone, wary of any actions Ke Man might take.
The latter just stood there quietly, the light from the jade pendant on his neck dimmed a bit, hanging on Ke Man’s chest.
The two sides confronted each other.
Ke Man took a few steps back, Zhou Xin Shui’s body muscles began to tighten, and Xue Hu Su threw the apple core he had finished eating into the trash can and stepped forward.
Before Xue Hu Su could get close, he was pulled back by Yan Zhou Ping.
Yan Zhou Ping said coldly, “I don’t want my lab to be full of your blood.”
Xue Hu Su: “…”
Xiang Li and the others quickly rushed over, looked at Ke Man, and asked, “Has he done anything?”
Yan Zhou Ping: “No, worried that Qi Xiao might have placed something we haven’t discovered in his body, so we haven’t touched him.”
After seeing Xiang Li, the look in Ke Man’s eyes instantly became clear, and he took two steps forward.
Ke Man: “Xiang Li…”
Xiang Li frowned slightly, Chu Qi was beside him, and Xing Zi Mu and Shen Gui didn’t come along because they had to keep an eye on other things.
Ke Man: “Box, box, photo…”
Speaking of photos, Chu Qi instantly thought of a box Xiang Li had given him before, with a photo inside.
But he wasn’t sure if what Ke Man was looking for was that.
Xiang Li seemed to have thought of it too, glanced at Chu Qi out of the corner of his eye, made eye contact with the other party, and Xiang Li calmly looked back at Ke Man.
Xiang Li: “What photo?”
At this moment, Chu Qi took two steps back. The photo was placed at his home, and the moment he made eye contact with Xiang Li, an idea suddenly popped into his head.
——Get the photo.
It’s very important.
Ke Man, who hadn’t paid any attention to him before, obediently said after Xiang Li opened his mouth, “Photo, two people…”
At this point, Xiang Li could almost confirm that it was the photo he had given Chu Qi.
But that photo was found on Chu Qi’s father’s body.
He remembered seeing people in lab coats pushing them into a transparent room and being killed by the Polluted Entities inside.
The next day, after seeing Chu Qi, Xiang Li didn’t know why, but he came to this place again.
There were no guards outside, so he swaggered into the transparent room. The Polluted Entities inside collectively shrank into a corner after Xiang Li came in.
Xiang Li found Chu Qi’s father, who was only half a body left after being gnawed on, on the ground. At that time, the Polluted Entities had only eaten his heart, and his face was still there.
Xiang Li was the one who found the photo next to him at that time. He thought it was Chu Qi’s father’s, so he returned the photo to Chu Qi.
Ke Man was still muttering in his mouth, “Photo, photo… two people.”
At this time, they could only wait for Chu Qi to bring the photo over, and then they could study who was who in the photo.
During this period, Xiang Li guessed all the possibilities, and even thought that the people in the photo might be Sang Quan Shi Li and Ning Li An when they were young, or Qi Xiao.
But then he thought that there were many group photos of the three of them, so there was no need to find this photo.
Chu Qi quickly rushed home and, relying on his memory, found the box containing the photo in the corner of the room.
The surface of the box was still smooth, and a thin layer of dust had fallen on it because no one had cleaned it for a long time.
Chu Qi opened the box, confirmed it, and the photo of a large and a small person whose faces could not be seen lay inside intact. The entire photo seemed to be covered by a layer of frosted glass.
The box closed with a “snap,” and Chu Qi quickly rushed to Yan Zhou Ping’s house.
Passing by the living room, in the Ecological Tank, the blue-purple luminous bacteria pieced together a few words on the surface of Chu Xiaodou.
——Turn, head, have.
