AGTCTCC Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Chapter 37 The Colonel’s Identity is Useful, But One…

Xiang Li, wearing Chu Qi’s face, swaggered through the streets, and every soldier he encountered treated him with the utmost respect. He arrived at Shen Gui’s interrogation room in a whirlwind.

Shen Gui looked up when he heard the noise and saw the person entering the door, his eyes widening slightly in shock.

“Chu… Qi?”

But Shen Gui quickly looked at the emotion on the other person’s face, which seemed to be smiling but not reaching his eyes, and his face turned cold as he changed his words: “You are not Chu Qi.”

Xiang Li shrugged, sat opposite him, Shen Gui’s eyes were fixed on Xiang Li, who ignored him and placed his palm on the table, and in an instant a very thin layer of smoke emerged from his palm.

It floated purposefully towards the surveillance camera above their heads.

Xiang Li waved his hand, dispersing the mist separating the two, and smiled at Shen Gui.

Shen Gui couldn’t help but laugh in anger.

“Xiang Li?”

Xiang Li, wearing Chu Qi’s face, nodded. Although he was wearing a well-fitting uniform at the moment, he had a lazy air about him. The hat on his head was probably uncomfortable, as it was a little askew.

Too jarring, Shen Gui commented.

Before, when he saw Chu Qi, he would always have a teacup or water glass in his hand, but now he felt that he should be holding the silver pistol inlaid with patterns on his waist, feeding himself bullets.

Chu Qi had no other hobbies, raising rocks, drinking water…

The “Chu Qi” in front of him leaned back in his chair, looking down at him, unaware of Shen Gui’s thoughts.

Shen Gui closed his eyes, trying to ignore the strangeness in his heart.

This is Xiang Li, it’s Xiang Li…

Two seconds later, he seemed to remember and asked, “Where’s Chu Qi?”

Xiang Li didn’t care what he thought, vaguely saying.

“He’s safer now than in prison.”

Shen Gui was speechless when he heard this, and the latter said the purpose of his visit.

“I’ll take you out in a while. That energy measurement stone is still with you, right? Take it to the place with the richest Source Stone later.”

Shen Gui: “What about Xing Zi…”

Xiang Li probably didn’t expect him to ask this question, thought for two seconds, and tapped his fair fingertips on the table. For a moment, no one spoke.

Xiang Li: “What’s wrong with him?”

Shen Gui: “Take him out too, he can do a good job as well.”

Xiang Li frowned upon hearing this, but the smile still hung on the corner of his mouth.

“Captain Shen, I don’t need someone who is useless. It was you and Chu Qi who reached an agreement with Planet C079. Moreover, with Vice Captain Xing’s body, I hope Captain Shen will stop joking.”

Shen Gui: “…”

Xiang Li only waited for two seconds, and the person in front of him didn’t speak again. He got up and walked out. Soon, soldiers came in to unlock the metal bracelet from Shen Gui.

When the two left, Shen Gui paused in front of Xing Zi Mu’s interrogation room. Xiang Li’s pace didn’t stop, he just glanced twice and followed.

Shen Gui asked suspiciously, “How did you get the soldiers to listen to you?”

Xiang Li: “I stopped playing with Qi Xiao’s spiritual puppet ability years ago.”

“As for controlling things, it’s enough to modify the memory. Chu Qi’s identity as a colonel is very useful, so you don’t have to worry about others not listening.”

Shen Gui: “…”

Source Stone Base.

This is a place dedicated to developing Source Stones. The magnetic field here is terrifyingly strong. A gate is formally erected there alone, without even a wall around it.

Although Xiang Li can modify memories, in the system, both he and Chu Qi are “prisoners” who are being held, and their genetic information is prohibited from passing.

Just when Shen Gui was wondering whether to force his way in, the “Chu Qi” next to him stepped forward, stood in front of the scanner, and performed a series of operations.

The door opened.

Shen Gui was a little surprised, but when he thought about it being Xiang Li, he might have obtained the genetic information of other high-level officials.

To this, Xiang Li said that the identity Qi Xiao is currently using, “Wu Zhen,” was originally his.

The first thing you see when the door opens is the ground full of skeletons, only half of their bodies exposed on the ground, the other half deeply buried in the ground.

Among the bones, the Source Stones undulated jaggedly, and the faint fluorescence emitted was like a sinister ghost fire.

Xiang Li: “…”

Shen Gui took the initiative to be a guide.

“Source Stones grow out of corpses. After a person dies, there is still a trace of vitality left that is absorbed by the land. Even a trace is enough to nourish all things.”

“Gathering it can create Source Stones.”

Xiang Li observed his surroundings. The further he went, the more incomplete corpses he saw, and the Source Stones that grew were brighter. At first glance, it seemed like they were devouring flesh and blood.

There was no rotten smell in the air, but it inexplicably made people feel suffocated, like fresh air that had not been polluted.

Xiang Li: “Chu Qi’s parents are also here.”

He said in a statement.

Xiang Li’s sudden stop made Shen Gui suspicious. After hearing Xiang Li’s words clearly, his whole body stagnated.

Shen Gui admitted, “Yes.”

Source Stones are too rare, but where are so many dead people?

Shen Gui only found out about this after taking office.

At that time, Chu Qi’s parents and their group were dispatched because many people wanted to steal the antidote from the laboratory, but one of the people who came to steal didn’t understand and broke a glass instrument.

Inside was a concentrated miasma extracted from the bodies of Polluted Entities after their death. The miasma spread, and everyone in the laboratory was infected.

They may not have noticed it themselves, but their bodies had already begun to mutate to varying degrees. Even if they didn’t mutate, the management couldn’t take the risk.

They could only order a complete purge, and everyone that day was spared.

Shen Gui never knew how to tell Chu Qi about this after he found out. Later, he procrastinated again and again, and he actually forgot.

Thinking of this, a trace of regret flashed across Shen Gui’s face.

Xiang Li wasn’t interested in this. He looked around, and his eyes suddenly fixed on a certain place. He quickly walked over.

Xiang Li stepped on the ground, and a very thin trace of Spiritual Power penetrated into the soil, only to emerge from the ground several minutes later.

Xiang Li commanded: “Put the energy measurement stone here.”

Shen Gui took out the already dim energy measurement stone from his pocket and inserted it vertically into the ground. Perhaps because it was from the same lineage as the Source Stone, the energy measurement stone was several degrees brighter than before, but it was still very dim.

Xiang Li clicked his tongue unhappily, took out a knife from his waist, and pointed the sharp end at his wrist.

A bright red mark instantly appeared, and dark red liquid poured onto the energy measurement stone.

Shen Gui observed the expression of “Chu Qi.” Perhaps because there was a mask covering it, he couldn’t see anything at the moment, but the hand holding the knife was trembling slightly.

Xiang Li’s voice was very hoarse: “Old Yan.”

The energy measurement stone absorbed the bright red liquid, and the wound on Xiang Li’s wrist was still bleeding. He didn’t care at all, letting the wound bleed, his eyes fixed on the energy measurement stone in front of him.

A red mark slowly accumulated in the middle of the energy measurement stone.

In an instant, the sky turned dark. At the sharp end of the energy measurement stone, a red aura came over, and countless symbols centered on the energy measurement stone, forming a pattern.

A few seconds later, it collapsed, and the energy measurement stone also shattered into small pieces. The Source Stones seen around seemed to have had their source power sucked away at this moment, instantly dimming.

Xiang Li grabbed Shen Gui’s wrist, and the other party quickly thought of what Xiang Li had told him, using his Spiritual Power as a guide to draw the Source Stone’s source power from the surrounding area.

The Heavenly Gate opened, and a black hole slowly appeared in the void in front of the two, getting bigger and bigger, gradually becoming large enough for one person to enter and exit.

A person walked out of the black hole, it was Yan Zhou Ping. He looked up at the sky, and the darkness above his head quickly dissipated after he came out. The black hole behind him also closed.

The Main Star restored its bright sunshine. Yan Zhou Ping’s shadow seemed to be a little deeper than others. Shen Gui looked closely twice.

The shadow began to change visibly, and a person walked out from it. Even in the sun, it was still a dark shadow, and you couldn’t see its facial features.

Xiang Li: “Bai Yan.”

The black shadow, Bai Yan, supported Xiang Li and snorted sarcastically.

Yan Zhou Ping nodded at Shen Gui.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Shen Gui’s face was also a little pale at the moment. He shook his head.

The three people’s eyes all looked at the most serious “Chu Qi”. He wiped his wrist, and the blood on his fingertips was rubbed on his lips and slowly absorbed.

Management.

“Chu Qi” came here, with Bai Yan hiding in the shadow under him. Everyone he met on the road was shocked when they saw him for the first second.

But before they could do anything, they suddenly froze for a moment, and then came back to their senses.

“Colonel Chu.”

“Chu Qi” nodded, as a response.

He came to the commander’s office unimpeded. He knocked twice on the door. The door opened. The person inside seemed to be looking at something. He looked up and saw that it was Chu Qi, and frowned.

“Chu Qi, you dare to come to me after you escaped from prison?”

Xing Qing Kun was not linked like the others at first. The shadow under Xiang Li’s feet began to change, and Bai Yan walked out.

Xing Qing Kun was shocked, but quickly realized that he couldn’t speak and couldn’t move his body.

He watched helplessly as the black figure next to “Chu Qi” stretched out his hand, and a snake could be vaguely seen coiling on his wrist.

Bai Yan pointed at Xing Qing Kun with his index finger, black Spiritual Power leaked from his fingertips, and the little snake on his wrist began to wander. The original black shadow became lighter in color at this moment.

Xing Qing Kun’s eyes lost focus for a moment, and Bai Yan took the opportunity to re-enter Xiang Li’s shadow.

The latter just watched coldly everything that had just happened.

Bai Yan’s Spiritual Ability is to copy a person’s Spiritual Power for his own use.

His Spiritual Power can no longer be mobilized on a large scale in the short term. Colonel Chu Qi’s identity is useful, but a wanted colonel is different.

Xing Qing Kun’s eyes regained clarity, and he looked at the person in front of him without much expression.

Xing Qing Kun was flipping through the information in front of him, not even raising his head, as if nothing had happened.

“Chu Qi, how confident are you in attacking Planet C079? If your body can’t handle it, let Shen Gui go first.”

Xing Qing Kun: “Hey, the hospital has been complaining to me a few days ago, telling me not to arrange too much work for you. You should also prepare to take over my job as soon as possible, and let that kid Shen Gui…”

“Chu Qi” suddenly asked, “Commander, do you know where Wu Zhen’s address is?”

Xing Qing Kun was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was deliberately changing the topic like before. He sighed and waved his hand.

“Hey, alright, I won’t say it anymore.”

Xing Qing Kun: “What do you want his address for?”

“Chu Qi” said seriously, “I want to learn more about Planet C079 from him.”

“Okay, I’ll send it to your communicator later.”

As soon as Xing Qing Kun finished speaking, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the main base.

Someone came in at the door.

“Commander, Chu Qi just broke into the base’s archive room and took away a file!”

Hu Zi Mo’s voice was very urgent. After seeing the “Chu Qi” standing in the room clearly, his voice suddenly choked, and he turned to meet Xing Qing Kun’s eyes.

Xing Qing Kun: “?”

Hu Zi Mo: “?!”

“Chu Qi”: “…”
