Chapter 208 Chaos

From a distance, Ruan Xi saw Ren Wei and Yun Sheng running in the front. The moment their eyes met, Ren Wei's strength suddenly burst out, and he ran in front of Ruan Xi almost in the blink of an eye. He picked him up without saying a word and spun him around, making him dizzy. He was finally rescued by He Ziqian.

"Ah!" Ren Wei was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly. He Ziqian punched him hard on the head, but he was still smiling like an idiot.

"Captain! Little miracle doctor! I knew you would come back!" Before Ren Wei could say anything, Yun Sheng rushed over with a howl. He was not speechless, but he could not stop talking. He even wanted to imitate Ren Wei and pick up Ruan Xi and spin around in circles.

He Ziqian quickly protected Ruan Xi behind him and casually gave Yun Sheng a headbutt, "Calm down!"

"I can't stay calm!"

"Captain, little miracle doctor!"

"Ahhhhhhhh... Captain and Little Doctor, you guys are finally back..."

Then, there was a long string of "Ahhhhhh" and "Captain, little miracle doctor". The voices were so loud and the emotions were so excited that they startled countless birds in the forest. Ruan Xi was happy, but his ears could not bear it. At the end, they started to buzz.

At this point, all the members of the Goshawk Squad gathered together again, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of reunion.

"Little Miracle Doctor, we've nearly turned the entire Yinyu Empire upside down looking for you! We couldn't find you, and there were still people hiding behind the scenes causing all kinds of trouble. We couldn't even count the number of planets that had accidents. We're so exhausted that we could have renamed our team the Vultures! You have no idea how we managed to get through this year..."

Yuan Hongwei was finally able to chat with his captain and the young doctor again. No matter how coldly the captain glared at him, he just endured the heavy pressure and kept talking to Ruan Xi.

However, when Ruan Xi and He Ziqian heard the word "one year", they were stunned for a moment.

"Wait a minute, what does this year... mean?" Ruan Xi immediately raised her hand to stop Yuan Hongwei from talking any more and asked the question in her mind.

They were gone for three months at most, right? How could it be a year? Traveling through a black hole also changes the flow of time?

"It's been just one year, little doctor and captain. You two have been missing for a whole year. Can you have some self-awareness? We have been so busy that we are going bald!" Yuan Hongwei was really worried that he would go bald, because he was worried about the hair loss recently. He hasn't even had a relationship yet. If he went bald early, would he still have the meaning to live?

Yuan Hongwei couldn't help but think of his elder brother when he thought of this. He then thought of their little doctor, who was the most powerful physician and pharmacist. Curing baldness would be a piece of cake. Yuan Hongwei was delighted and immediately wanted to grab Ruan Xi to ask for medicine. Unfortunately, when he looked up, Ruan Xi had disappeared, leaving him with nothing to ask for.

"What's going on? The time on our personal terminal is obviously correct..." Ruan Xi clicked on the light screen of his personal terminal and carefully checked the time on the light screen. When he saw it, he was stunned.

When I looked at it before, it clearly wasn't at this time. How could it have changed? Wouldn't it automatically calibrate after connecting to the Star Network?

So whose time is messed up?

Anyway, Ruan Xi's mind was really a little confused at the moment.

"It seems that our personal terminals have been affected by the black hole. Perhaps, it is also related to the golden snake. The time displayed is obviously inconsistent with that of the Silver Sky Empire." The other members of the Goshawk Squad have been staying in this time and space. With the help of the Star Network, the probability of time errors on their personal terminals is infinitely close to zero. In comparison, they have passed through the black hole twice, and the possibility of being affected is infinitely close to 100%, and there is no denying it.

However, for no reason, they missed a whole year, which is a bit hard to understand.

"You came back through the black hole?" When Xu Ze heard the word "black hole", he suddenly became excited and stars seemed to flash in his eyes.

He is super interested in this!

"Yes, I've walked there twice, once going there and once coming back." Ruan Xi felt that he was somewhat familiar with the route.

"Tell me quickly, what does the inside of a black hole look like? Are there any strange beasts in it? Are there any meteorites? Are there any stars? Are there..." Xu Ze's questions were like an infinite bubble machine, spitting out endlessly. Ruan Xi was stunned by what he heard. His mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out for a long time.

This was the first time Ruan Xi had seen Xu Ze so crazy. He was even crazier than when he knew he had become an evolved human. Shouldn't he say, "He's worthy of being a scientific researcher! He has the crazy gene in his bones and blood!"

"No, there is nothing in the black hole. It is terrifyingly quiet. If you don't know where the exit is and you are not lucky enough, then the most likely outcome for you is that you will float there until you die and eventually become a part of the black hole." Ruan Xi's answer was completely realistic. Although he said it lightly, it had a very scary effect.

"Fuck, Captain, little doctor, you two are really awesome. You even found your way back." Just thinking about it made everyone's scalp tingle. Instead of dying like that, it would be more comfortable to fight a great battle with the enemy and die on the battlefield.

"It's nothing. We didn't know where the exit was, but because of Ruan Xi, we were lucky enough to meet someone who could send us back, so we were able to come back." He Ziqian's story was so concise that it was almost dry. People who listened to it felt bored and couldn't help but roll their eyes at him.

"Captain, you really ruined this story by telling it..." Yuan Hongwei couldn't help but complain about the captain's name, and then, without a doubt, he was hit hard on the head and squatted on the ground for a long time without daring to get up.

Although the story is dry, it is obviously not a good time to tell it. The first thing the two teams need to do when they work together is to exchange information. Ruan Xi and He Ziqian need to know the current situation of the Yinyu Empire.

Finally, Ruan Xi summed it up and there were only two words to describe it - chaos.

"We really couldn't find any information about the mastermind behind this?" Now, the Goshawk Squad has been incorporated into the investigation team directly under the supervision of His Royal Highness the Grand Prince, and only takes orders from His Royal Highness the Grand Prince. This trip to pick up Ruan Xi and He Ziqian was also ordered by His Royal Highness the Grand Prince himself.

"This person is like a wisp of air. We rely on it for our daily breathing. It has no special smell or color. How can we distinguish it?" Lao Ba made such an analogy, expressing the sadness they had experienced in the past year.

While looking for the backbone and savior of his own team, he also has to look for the mastermind behind the scenes who has no clue at all. He is so tired every day that he doubts his life, but the next day, he still has to continue working without complaint!

"Like air..." When Ruan Xi heard this, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind. However, this flash of inspiration flashed too fast for him to catch it, but it was enough to make him have persistent doubts about it.

What kind of person would stay under the same sky with them like air, or even be right next to them, but they couldn't detect him?

The answer was almost obvious, but the more it was obvious, the more Ruan Xi couldn't believe it.

Because, if he believed it, it would mean betrayal by those around him. He couldn't accept it. His heart was slightly tightened and he even found it difficult to breathe.

He Ziqian, who was standing aside, obviously did not miss this clue. When it comes to military and politics, He Ziqian's thinking sensitivity is definitely several levels higher than Ruan Xi's, and there is almost no comparison.

"Perhaps we shouldn't search such a large area." It would be more reasonable to define a small area and then check each one one by one.

The first place to be investigated is the central base of the Imperial Capital Star, and then the bases in charge of each military region. He Ziqian suddenly seemed to have a premonition - the mastermind behind the scenes was hiding in one of these military bases.

He Ziqian did not hesitate and immediately told his teammates his guesses and subsequent analysis. However, Ruan Xi did not have the same broad vision as He Ziqian. After thinking about it, he was only thinking about the few people close to him.

Although some of the students in the school are quite arrogant, they are students after all. When it comes to scheming, they are child's play. Some of them are so simple that they cannot even be called child's play. Moreover, Ruan Xi has never felt any real threat in school. Basically, the suspicion can be ruled out from the classmates.

In addition to students, there are also teachers in the school. Similarly, most teachers are not very cunning, and even if they are, they can't do anything special. The most important thing is that he still doesn't feel any threat from the teachers, so he ruled out suspicion.

Next, it was the people in the base. This was a bit complicated, so Ruan Xi skipped it directly and had no intention of trying to analyze it.

After all, he was the adorable and silly guy that everyone talked about, so there was no need for him to do something so brain-intensive and uncertain about the results. So, it was natural to PASS it and continue the analysis.

Next, only my grandfather and Grandpa He were left, along with Grandpa He’s son.

However, among these three people, one is He Ziqian's grandfather. His entire family sacrificed their lives to protect the country. His grandson is still serving in the army. He is also a good friend of the eldest prince who shares the same political views. He has even found a partner now, so he doesn't have to worry about marriage anymore. There is really no reason for betrayal, so he is ruled out as a suspect.

In the end, only the He family father and son were left. Ruan Xi really couldn't imagine that in this family of loyal and brave Hes, only the father and son were left to depend on each other. What reason would they have to betray each other?

The more Ruan Xi thought about it, the colder he felt. Not in a state of shock, but outright chill. Suddenly, another possibility occurred to him: what if the He family harbored hatred for the empire? After all, preserving the country wasn't just their responsibility; it was everyone's responsibility. Who knew if the near-extinction of the He family during the war was an accident or...

Is it man-made?

Ruan Xi was so frightened by his own guess that his teeth started to chatter and gnaw, which immediately attracted the attention of others.

"Xiao Xi, what did you think of?" He Ziqian guessed from Ruan Xi's expression that he might have thought of something terrible. He immediately asked nervously, and at the same time, he reached out and naturally hugged his slightly trembling lover into his arms, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Ruan Xi almost immediately buried her head in He Ziqian's arms, taking deep breaths of the familiar scent from He Ziqian, and her turbulent emotions gradually calmed down.

This little incident scared Xiaoguai, who had been watching the fun silently on the side. When his father shuddered, he also shuddered reflexively. He suddenly felt panic in his heart and jumped over, hugging Ruan Xi from behind.

"dad!"
