AGTCTCC Chapter 67
by VolareAfter Chu Qi left, Little Chu Bean’s surface words were pieced together completely.
——【Turn, Head, There, Is, Someone】
And in an instant, a hand scooped Little Chu Bean out of the ecological tank, staring at the bacteria on the stone’s surface, and poking it with a finger.
Feeling the soft texture of the stone’s surface, after a while, as if finding it uninteresting, he threw Little Chu Bean back.
Qi Xiao stood behind Wu Zhen, eyes slightly lowered.
No one expected ‘Wu Zhen’ to suddenly wake up. They thought that absorbing at least half of the Source Stone jade pendant would allow ‘Wu Kun’ to be awake for a longer time.
On the shoulder of the person in front of him, a dragonfly rested quietly.
Wu Zhen at this moment didn’t know the thoughts of the person behind him, staring at Chu Qi’s departing figure, wondering why he was in someone else’s house.
He turned his head and asked, “Should we leave some money?”
He remembered someone saying that after doing something wrong, you should compensate. Qi Xiao had told him that money was a good thing.
Qi Xiao calmly took out an Interstellar Credit from his pocket and placed it on the living room table: “Left it, let’s go.”
Wu Zhen stared at the Interstellar Credit, the metal’s luster warm and smooth. He didn’t feel that just one was too little, but was just thinking, is this what money looks like?
Wu Zhen: “Oh, okay.”
Chu Qi left quickly, not noticing the two uninvited guests who had broken into his house. He rushed to Yan Zhou Ping’s house with the metal box.
The moment the photo was taken out, the originally quiet light of the peace jade pendant around Ke Man’s neck became strong again, but this time it was no longer a blinding light, but a warm and comforting one.
Xiang Li and the others quietly watched the scene before them——
The photo floated in the air and actively stuck to the peace jade pendant on Ke Man’s chest. A warm light projected a strange image through the photo.
On the screen.
An adult was holding a child’s hand, offering a piece of candy.
He said in a consultative tone: “Ke Mu, Mom and Older Brother will be here soon. Let’s be good when we take the family photo later, okay?”
The child, called “Ke Mu”, took the candy, looked around, and put the candy in his mouth.
His tone was vague: “Dad, I’ll be good. Can I have another one?”
The man smiled, refusing pitifully: “No, Older Brother wants to eat too. Look, Dad doesn’t have any.”
Ke Mu looked very happy: “Older Brother doesn’t like candy. If I ask Older Brother, he will definitely give it to me.”
The man was amused by him and laughed: “That’s because Older Brother likes you. Otherwise, look, when other people ask Older Brother, he doesn’t give them any.”
Upon hearing this, Little Ke Mu revealed a proud expression, with candy in his mouth, hands on his hips, humming triumphantly.
“Of course Older Brother loves me very much.”
As soon as the words were spoken, a woman’s voice came from outside the screen.
“Then who does Little Ke Mu love the most?”
Little Ke Mu turned his head and immediately pounced towards the person who came, hugging another child next to the woman.
Ke Mu happily hugged tightly: “Older Brother.”
Ke Chenxi’s arms weren’t much longer than Ke Mu’s. When Ke Mu pounced over to hug him, his arms couldn’t even wrap around Little Ke Mu.
Ke Chenxi patted Little Ke Mu’s back, and Ke Mu let go a little, his eyes almost squinting into slits from smiling.
Ke Mu: “Ke Mu loves Older Brother the most.”
Ke Chenxi nodded. The woman next to him was a little jealous, and went over to hug the man’s arm.
She said, “My son isn’t even close to me anymore.”
The man smiled and rubbed against the woman. Seeing the other’s helpless expression, he laughed and said, “Then I’ll be close, okay?”
The people outside the screen, staring at the affectionate family on the screen: “…”
After the man finished speaking, he walked over and adjusted the camera, clearing his throat to attract the attention of the two brothers who were stuck together.
He shouted, “Taking pictures! Time is limited, let’s be quick!”
As he spoke, the man made a fist and gave a gesture of encouragement.
The family stood neatly together, facing the camera. Then the woman saw something, frowned, and stepped forward.
She walked forward while calling out to Ke Mu, “Come, let’s check the angle together.”
Ke Mu hopped over, his voice clear: “Coming, coming.”
Ke Chenxi was quiet, fully displaying his mature older brother persona. With two people suddenly gone, the distance between the man and Ke Chenxi widened.
Under the woman’s signal, the man put his arm around Ke Chenxi’s shoulders.
“How about taking a picture with Dad alone?”
Ke Chenxi naturally had no doubts. The camera flashed, and they saw the woman holding a photo in her hand.
Xiang Li narrowed his eyes outside the screen. If he wasn’t mistaken, that seemed to be the photo he had obtained.
The hand holding the photo waved, a bit smugly. Alright, she reached out and took Ke Mu’s hand, handing the photo to Ke Mu.
“Isn’t it handsome?”
The originally harmonious scene suddenly changed its style, flashing like snowflakes several times. As the picture flickered, a dense fog became closer and closer to their location.
After the picture became clear, everyone saw that the originally neat family was now only a child.
Ke Mu stood there blankly, the hand clenching the photo trembling slightly. He remembered the sentence his mother whispered in his ear just now: “Don’t make a sound.”
Ke Mu was looking around. He wanted to call for Older Brother, for Dad and Mom, but he didn’t know if it was because of that sentence “Don’t make a sound” or because he was too scared to speak. He kept looking around.
The fog on the screen hadn’t dispersed yet, and the camera was focused on Ke Mu, so the people outside the screen didn’t know what happened.
Ke Mu trotted. He didn’t know how, but he suddenly fell forward, and his palm scraped a wound on the ground.
Blood dripped onto the soil in front of him. Before Ke Mu could cry, a stone suddenly grew out of the soil like a plant.
Ke Mu swallowed his tears, wiping his face with the back of his hand. They could see the bloody abrasions on the palm of his hand.
“Older Brother…”
The image stopped abruptly here.
After the image was played, Ke Man, wearing the peace jade pendant, fell back down as if he had lost his strength. Yan Zhou Ping quickly grabbed Ke Man.
Xiang Li glanced at Chu Qi’s expression and asked, “Do you know this man?”
Chu Qi was still staring at the void where the image no longer existed: “Yes.”
Chu Qi: “Ke Mu, the first person in the Ke family to develop spiritual power. He mysteriously disappeared for some reason when he was a teenager.”
“He did have an older brother, named Ke Chenxi. He appeared on the Main Star a few days after his disappearance. At that time, I remember he had completely lost his memory.”
Chu Qi recalled the records: “There were no Polluted Entities at that time, but it wasn’t far from the outbreak of Polluted Entities.”
Xiang Li thought for a while, recalling Ke Mu’s appearance just now, and felt that he looked a little familiar.
Yan Zhou Ping first checked Ke Man’s physical condition. After confirming that there was nothing serious, Zhou Xinshui also put away his tentacles.
Yan Zhou Ping frowned: “Yu Han, do you see if the position of the chip has shifted?”
As he spoke, he overlapped the re-scanned image data with the previous one, so that Xiang Li and the others could see it more intuitively.
In fact, without putting them together, on the projection, the chip had obviously moved outwards.
Yu Han nodded.
Yan Zhou Ping: “Although I don’t know what the situation is, if the chip in Ke Man’s body is in its current position——”
Yu Han continued his words: “Then the difficulty of removing it will be greatly reduced.”
The two of them said in unison: “And in this position, there’s no need to worry about affecting the heart or the explosion of spiritual power during removal.”
As they spoke, Yan Zhou Ping and Yu Han began to act together.
Xiang Li interjected: “How long?”
Yan Zhou Ping took the time to reply: “Um, fast, very fast.”
Xiang Li: “.”
Chu Qi turned around and was about to leave. Xiang Li accurately captured this in his peripheral vision and immediately moved closer: “I’ll see you off.”
Chu Qi: “No need.”
Xiang Li: “I’ll see you off, see you off.”
Chu Qi: “Okay.”
Seeing this, Zhou Xinshui lowered his head to take Ning Le’s hand: “Let’s go up too. Looking at Lao Yan’s condition, it seems that we don’t need to leave him dinner tonight.”
Ning Le took his hand: “Okay.”
When Chu Qi went out, he saw the bouquet of irises placed on the living room table and raised an eyebrow.
Xiang Li also noticed it, reached out and grabbed the bouquet, handing it to Chu Qi: “You like it? I’ll give it to you.”
Chu Qi’s eyes glanced down, paused on it for two seconds, then retracted, without even reaching out his hand.
Chu Qi: “Goodbye.”
Xiang Li withdrew his hand holding the flowers: “Oh.”
Watching Chu Qi’s Starship slowly depart, Xiang Li looked again at the bouquet of irises he was holding.
He thought for a while and put the bouquet on the table. Ning Le was sitting on the sofa, glancing at it in his peripheral vision.
She frowned, a look of disgust flashing across her face for a moment: “What are you trying to do with this pretentious act?”
Xiang Li looked at the flowers and asked, “Am I not sincere to Chu Qi?”
Ning Le said indifferently, “It’s okay.”
She turned her head to look over. Zhou Xinshui, who had come up from the basement, ran to the kitchen again, clanging around.
Recently, her skills had improved a lot, and she was spending more and more time in the kitchen.
Xiang Li: “Then just now, when watching that Ke Something Chen, when that man and woman were being affectionate, what did Chu Qi mean by looking at me?”
Xiang Li boldly guessed: “Was he hinting at me?”
Ning Le rolled her eyes upon hearing this: “No.”
She was being realistic: “Colonel Chu probably saw that there were actually two men who were so shameless.”
Xiang Li didn’t answer. He was actually thinking about the story Xing Zi Mu told him in the cold room.
Xiang Li thought, were he and Chu Qi like that too?
Yan Zhou Ping’s initial worries actually made sense. Chu Qi had not occupied a very long time in his six hundred years, and would occupy even less time in his life, which he didn’t know how long he would live.
It would have been best if he and Chu Qi hadn’t gotten involved, but the fact was that they had.
This wasn’t destined. He and Chu Qi would be together.
He liked Chu Qi very much, and Chu Qi loved him very much. In that case, he would accompany Chu Qi until death.
Anyway, it wouldn’t take long…
That’s what Xiang Li thought at first.
At this moment, inside a room in the main base, the person lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, his vision filled with darkness.
He reached out to grab the emptiness in front of him. His arm hung in the air for a few seconds, and finally fell down powerlessly.
Next to him, something wrapped in white also moved twice at this moment.
He turned his head and just met a pair of eyes in the white object next to him.
The other person’s voice was a little hoarse, sounding particularly clear in the room: “You… Hello…”
He was silent for two seconds, looking at those eyes… and the outline of the face in front of him.
He said, “You… Hello…”
“What…is…my…name?”
