AGTCTCC Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Chapter 56 You damn thing, we are destined to love each other…

Shen Gui, due to Ning Le’s command, was stiff all over, like a puppet whose joints hadn’t been polished, walking back one wooden step at a time.

Halfway there, Shen Gui saw Chu Qi, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time. He was standing about a meter away from the barrier, facing the Polluted Entities outside.

Shen Gui: “?”

Chu Qi.

Qi.

Save me.

Save me, Qi.

They all look bad, look over here, Qi!

Unable to shout, Shen Gui couldn’t attract Chu Qi’s attention and could only silently weep in his heart, then raised his hands and feet and hurried towards Yan Zhou Ping’s house.

Perhaps his resentment was too strong, solidifying into reality. Chu Qi actually turned his head and noticed the sad puppet Shen Gui.

Surprise flashed across Chu Qi’s face. With Xiang Li around, Shen Gui probably wasn’t in any life-threatening danger.

This was the first time he had seen Shen Gui since waking up.

Chu Qi felt that the direction Shen Gui was walking was somewhat familiar, and seeing Shen Gui’s strange walking posture, a trace of doubt rose in his heart.

Chu Qi: “Shen Gui, where are you going?”

Shen Gui: “…”

Chu Qi took two large steps to reach Shen Gui, blocking his path.

Only then could Shen Gui look directly at Chu Qi, his eyes clearly conveying a meaning of help, but his hands and feet disobeyed his commands and tried to go around Chu Qi and continue walking.

Chu Qi reached out and grabbed the back of Shen Gui’s collar. The latter didn’t stop, struggling with difficulty to break free from Chu Qi. His feet rubbed back and forth on the ground, creating abrasion marks.

He was forcibly dragged in place by Chu Qi.

Chu Qi frowned, not letting go of Shen Gui’s collar, and his Spiritual Power flowed from his fingertips into Shen Gui’s body meridians through the back of his neck.

Shen Gui seemed to know what Chu Qi was thinking, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and tried to ignore the repulsive reaction in his body, relaxing to accept the “invasion.”

The silver-white Spiritual Power flowed smoothly through every part of Shen Gui’s body in his blood and finally found a clump of blocked light in a corner.

After that, for some reason, that strand of silver Spiritual Power suddenly paused.

Just as Shen Gui opened his eyes in confusion, he suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ear.

“Do you want to help him forcibly break it open?”

Ning Le stepped on a light disk, which was flying very high, putting Ning Le at a height where he could look Shen Gui and Chu Qi in the eye.

“That will damage his brain. Are you very capable?”

Not waiting for Chu Qi to answer, Ning Le reached out, his small hand resting on Shen Gui’s shoulder.

Shen Gui immediately felt flustered, his hands and feet suddenly listening to his commands. The blocked light in his body slowly bloomed, melting into Shen Gui’s blood.

Shen Gui felt like he had drunk a mouthful of high-grade Spiritual Power Restoration Agent.

At this time, Chu Qi also let go of Shen Gui’s clothes, patted them, and smoothed out the wrinkled collar.

Having regained his freedom, Shen Gui looked behind Ning Le at the first opportunity.

“Where’s Xing Zi Mu? Did he not make it back?”

Ning Le only said, “I can’t beat them.”

Shen Gui pursed his lips, as if he had made some kind of decision, and turned to walk towards the main base: “No, I have to go find him.”

But this time, stopping him was not only Ning Le but also Chu Qi.

Shen Gui was anxious: “Chu Qi—”

Chu Qi’s tone was slow: “It’s useless even if you go. We should go find Doctor Lin first.”

Hearing the unfamiliar name, Ning Le suddenly remembered the “younger brother” he had just learned about, his eyes turned cold, and he “kindly” reminded them.

“Your partner has already been caught by Mommy.”

Shen Gui knew that Ning Le was talking about Sang Quan Shi Li, but he turned to look at Chu Qi.

“How did you know that Sang Quan had an accident?”

Chu Qi had just said to go find Doctor Lin. How did he know that Sang Quan had already “had an accident?”

Chu Qi looked calm and composed: “I just ran into Wu Zhen, and he told me.”

Interrogation room.

The soldier was expressionless, asking officially, “What’s your name?”

“…Sang Quan Shi Li.”

The person in the interrogation chair was numb, his eyes drooping listlessly.

The scene he had just seen kept repeating in his mind.

Those faces were faces that he knew all too well. They were the appearances of his parents deep in his mind.

The faces seemed to replay the appearance of his parents as he had seen them since birth, clearly and piercingly.

The soldier tapped the table: “Answer the question.”

He took a few deep breaths, suppressing the emotions in his heart.

“—Twenty-nine years old.”

After the soldier completed the routine identity verification, only Sang Quan Shi Li was left in the interrogation room again. He couldn’t help but speculate wildly.

Were his parents all fake? That photo was indeed a photo of him and his parents, but why was it there?

Sang Quan Shi Li bit the tip of his tongue until a faint metallic taste filled his mouth.

He thought, perhaps his parents weren’t dead. Those faces, perhaps they were his parents from childhood to adulthood.

Or perhaps they had died long ago, and what he had seen was all impersonations?

He was so worried…

Someone entered the interrogation room. Sang Quan Shi Li heard the noise and subconsciously looked up.

“…?”

Qi Xiao sat opposite Sang Quan Shi Li, pausing when she met his dull eyes.

Qi Xiao: “You shouldn’t show such an expression.”

“You are my son, you are humanity’s hope.”

Her light sentence overturned all of Sang Quan Shi Li’s previous assumptions.

Sang Quan Shi Li didn’t seem to hear clearly and subconsciously wanted to say “What,” only to realize that he couldn’t even make a sound now.

Qi Xiao seemed to see Sang Quan Shi Li’s mouth shape. She looked indifferent and didn’t think that her words had any impact on Sang Quan Shi Li.

Qi Xiao’s cold tone sounded like she was giving an order.

“In a few days, we will hold an Imperial Management Election vote.”

Qi Xiao: “As the Chief Engineer of Imperial Mechs, you should have a vote. Vote for me.”

Sang Quan Shi Li felt that what the other person was saying seemed a bit absurd. He swallowed.

Sang Quan Shi Li: “Mom—”

Suddenly, his throat made a sound. He seemed startled and his pupils were trembling.

Qi Xiao gave an “Mm” sound. She didn’t think it was too fast for Sang Quan Shi Li to call her “Mom” now, as if they had never had those years of separation.

She continued: “In a moment, you will come with me directly. The casting room at the main base is still the same as before. I will give you a blueprint…”

Sang Quan Shi Li hadn’t reacted to anything yet when he was taken away by Qi Xiao, his whole being in a daze.

The atmosphere was still very stiff between the three people on Chu Qi’s side. Perhaps it was because they were already very close to Yan Zhou Ping’s house, coupled with Ning Le secretly informing them.

Hill and Xiang Li, two uninvited guests, also came.

To be precise, there were three. Bai Yan was in Hill’s shadow, replenishing energy.

Xiang Li lifted his eyelids, looking like he hadn’t woken up yet. Just now, Xiang Li and Chu Qi were at odds, but now it seemed like nothing had happened. They were still a happy couple.

As soon as Xiang Li arrived, he waved his hand and ordered.

“Alright, Ning Le, go home. Old Yan is getting anxious.”

After saying that, he stepped forward, grabbed Chu Qi’s hand, looked at Hill.

The other person just nodded, and then a black hole appeared next to Xiang Li.

Xiang Li squeezed Chu Qi’s hand, wanting to pull it away but failing, smiling and winking at him: “Officer, let me take you home.”

Chu Qi: “…”

The originally calm Chu Qi was now looking at the uninvited guest Xiang Li in his home. The roses, which should have withered after so many days of no one being home, were still terribly vibrant.

Little Rock was placed in another simple cultivation fish tank, and the moss on it was still fresh and beautiful.

It also skillfully manipulated the simulated ultrasound instrument, and the hyphae on it emitted a smiling face expression under the action of the sound waves.

Xiang Li complained to the owner of the house: “The house is so big, it’s hard to clean.”

Xiang Li could now skillfully greet Little Rock, change the water, and mix the nutrient solution.

Chu Qi looked at Xiang Li, who he had just exposed but now looked nonchalant, and lightly scoffed as if mocking himself.

He should have known.

“Xiang Li, Wu Zhen, you always seem to be like this,” Chu Qi suddenly said.

Xiang Li lazily asked, as if because Chu Qi had mentioned him, he casually replied.

“Like what?”

Chu Qi: “No matter what great things happen between us, no matter how embarrassing it gets, you always seem to be indifferent, as if nothing had happened at all. You act as if nothing has happened.”

“It’s as if there’s never been any concealment between us.”

“I’m starting to suspect that this is my fantasy. Didn’t you undo the previous Spirit Link? Is this just a very long dream?”

Xiang Li was silent when he heard this, thought for a while, and tilted his head.

“Weren’t you with me from the beginning because you knew I was Wu Zhen?”

He suddenly covered his heart, lifted his eyelids, and stared at Chu Qi with his dark eyes.

Xiang Li: “I haven’t even complained yet.”

“Baby, when you were kissing me, were you happy at that moment, or were you celebrating that I was Wu Zhen?”

As he spoke, Xiang Li put his index and middle fingers to his lips and blew Chu Qi a kiss.

The expression on his face was not at all as sad as he said. It was cold.

“Celebrating that Wu Zhen didn’t die.”

Chu Qi’s eyes darkened. He strode forward, grabbed Xiang Li’s collar, and kissed him directly.

The kiss only lasted a second before he moved away. Chu Qi stared into Xiang Li’s eyes and asked seriously.

“What do you think?”

The moment Chu Qi rushed over, Xiang Li’s hand rested on the officer’s waist. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he chuckled softly in a hoarse voice.

“Officer, we’re still fighting.”

After saying that, his voice changed, his throat rolled twice, and his tone contained a trace of helplessness.

“Besides, officer, no matter if you want to cry or make a fuss, I really can’t commit suicide for you.”

Xiang Li looked back at Chu Qi seriously and said, “Officer, do you want to continue playing with me?”

“This might have been a mistake from the start…”

Xiang Li lowered his head, his dark, thick eyelashes covering the emotions in his eyes. He wanted to persuade Chu Qi, but it felt more like he was persuading himself.

He felt that the more he said, the deeper he would sink.

He suddenly became afraid of the answer that Chu Qi would say.

He admitted that he was a coward.

But Chu Qi just reached out, his warm palm pressed against the back of Xiang Li’s neck, bringing him closer.

Gritting his teeth, “You damn thing, we are destined to love each other.”

“Damn you, try escaping again!”

Chu Qi lowered his head, loosened his grip on Xiang Li’s collar, and then said weakly.

“Do you, really like to play with me?”

Xiang Li stared at the thick hair in front of him and swallowed: “…No.”

Chu Qi didn’t respond to him. His face was expressionless, hidden from Xiang Li’s sight.

He was thinking about what Wu Zhen had said to him when he was stopped on his way to the main base.

Wu Zhen’s voice was calm: “Chu Qi.”

The person being called didn’t speak. Chu Qi was waiting for his next sentence.

Wu Zhen continued, “You have a partner. I like him very much.”

“The smell of his blood is like mine, like Xiang Li’s. I feel like he is our kind.”

Chu Qi frowned: “Which partner?”

Wu Zhen thought for two seconds, not knowing how to introduce him, and after a long time, he squeezed out a sentence.

“Qi Xiao’s son.”

Chu Qi was even more confused when he heard this. He didn’t know any…

Wu Zhen added, “It seems like a child named Sang something.”

After saying this, Chu Qi’s heart trembled violently, and then he retorted.

“Impossible, Sang Quan has his own parents. His mother’s name is not Qi Xiao.”

Wu Zhen: “I remember the name Ning gave him when he started out on the main star, Sang Ji Lin. Don’t you know him?”

Wu Zhen said each word slowly, like a whisper, but it inexplicably gave people the feeling of wanting to continue listening.

Sang Ji Lin…

Chu Qi remembered.

That was indeed Sang Quan’s father.

Sang Quan was, clearly still very guilty that he hadn’t gone out to research with his parents back then.

Chu Qi’s eyes turned cold.

“Tell me, what do you want to do?”
