Chapter 95

Recently, Gu Qingchen felt something was wrong.

As the only purifier in Base 24, he was originally very busy.

Because extreme weather occurs frequently and the air contains pollutants even in normal times, base members have to come to the purification center every few days.

This also resulted in Gu Qingchen having a full workload every day. The intelligent computer arranged his abilities clearly, so when he got off work every day, there was basically no purifying power left in his body.

However, since the day before yesterday, the number of people he had been receiving hadn't decreased, but by the evening, he discovered... his purification power still had some left? He could even purify two or three more moderately polluted areas without any problem!

Although it’s not much, it’s still much better than the previous feeling of being drained.

Gu Qingchen also understood that this was definitely not because of the improvement of his purification power. He was very clear about his own strengths and weaknesses.

The reason for this situation is that... the people who have come here for purification recently have low concentrations of pollutants in their bodies, especially those in the cultivation garden!

Although it is impossible to reach zero completely, the concentration is basically in the single digits, so there will be no problem with purification even if it is done in a few days.

Because of his good relationship with Zhuang Shisong, Gu Qingchen also understood why this was the case - because the small garlic sprout had the ability to dispel pollutants.

Therefore, it is understandable that the people in the aquarium are exposed to less pollutants and the pollutants accumulated on their bodies are reduced. But what about the people in other departments?

Gu Qingchen couldn't figure out the answer for a moment, but this should be related to the fact that the two recent extreme weather events were passed very smoothly. He still needed to observe the details.

Overall, this is a good thing.

And now, there was another thing that caught his attention——

"Are there still no customers coming to the nursery today?" Gu Qingchen asked a young nurse beside him.

The young nurse was packing up to leave work. Upon hearing this, she recalled and nodded: "I haven't received any notice from there, and the suspended stretcher is not on duty today."

If a cub is injured, it will definitely be a big deal. In this case, a suspended stretcher will definitely be needed to tie the cub back, so basically all medical staff going to the nursery will prepare a stretcher in advance.

Gu Qingchen frowned, took off his glasses, wiped them and said, "This is really strange. Why are these cubs so well-behaved lately?"

Before, there were cubs getting injured every day, and now he hasn’t been here for a few days, he really isn’t used to it.

The young nurse looked at him in confusion, "No cubs were hurt, isn't that good?"

"That's not to say this is a bad thing," Gu Qingchen said, "but when things are out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. You understand the situation of the cubs. As they grow older, the turmoil of their bloodline power will only become more severe, and injuries are almost inevitable."

I'm just afraid that something really happened to them, but no one reported it...

However, with the base's intelligent computer supervising, no matter how unreliable the breeder is, it is impossible for a cub to be injured and no one to take care of it, right?

Gu Qingchen still has great trust in the base's intelligent computer.

Number Four was taken away by the research institute. No matter how he tried to persuade him, Ren Yufei refused to let him go. Now that the base's intelligent computer has taken action, won't it be solved immediately?

Just then, the guard at the door called him: "Doctor Gu, someone is looking for you."

Gu Qingchen nodded. Although it was already time to get off work, the people in the medical department still had to be on call 24 hours a day to deal with various emergencies.

"Who's looking for me?"

He put on his glasses and then saw the slender figure at the door.

He couldn't help but pause. Just as he mentioned the nursery, breeder Su came. Could it be that he came here for a living?

Gu Qingchen was in mixed emotions. Although he thought it was unusual that no cubs were injured, secretly, he still hoped that those cubs, who already had miserable lives, could grow up healthily.

He sighed, stood up and walked towards Su Ci, "Is something wrong with the cub? Come on, I'll go to the nursery with you."

Su Ci didn't say anything. Something did happen to No. 6, but it wasn't a big problem for the time being.

"No need," he said, "I just have some questions I need to ask you."

Hearing this, Gu Qingchen blinked and asked curiously, "You came to me, didn't you, because a cub went crazy and got injured?"

Going crazy happens every day, but...

Su Ci shook his head, "I'm not hurt."

Then he walked straight into Gu Qingchen's clinic.

Gu Qingchen looked at him in confusion, and finally his eyes fell on his feet. He couldn't help but complain: "Where did you go just now? How did you get your shoes so dirty?"

I saw a number of light yellow shoe prints on the floor where Su Ci had just passed by. They were not very obvious from the outside, but the floor of the clinic was white, so they were particularly conspicuous.

Hearing his words, Su Ci looked back, thought for a moment, and said casually: "Oh, I opened up a piece of land behind the nursery building, so maybe I accidentally got some dirt on it."

He said it lightly, and Gu Qingchen didn't think much about it at first and nodded. But when he realized what he had just said, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"What? You cleared a plot of land behind the nursery?"

Dr. Gu, who usually behaves politely, rarely loses his composure like this. The young nurse standing in the clinic couldn't help but look at him curiously.

However, more attention was still on Su Ci.

As soon as she saw the gray-blue uniform, she knew who he was. She had heard about the new breeder's deeds when they were chatting about gossip before, but she didn't expect him to be so handsome! He was simply more handsome than any other man or woman she had ever seen.

Gu Qingchen noticed the young nurse's excited expression and quickly restrained his expression. After sending her out, he closed the door.

A Yan, who had been standing outside the door, looked down at his cub shoes. They were inevitably stained with mud after running in the muddy riverbed, and he also remembered that he was exposed last time because of the footprints.

A Yan thought about it, bent down and took off his shoes. When he saw his white socks, he took them off again and put them into the space button. Then he took a step forward and came directly to Su Ci.

Su Ci frowned slightly when he saw that he was barefoot, and reached out to pull a stool over and put it next to him.

A Yan smiled and happily climbed onto the stool and sat down.

The little monkey also jumped off Su Ci's shoulder, curled up in A Yan's arms, and sat on the stool together.

Gu Qingchen had no idea that in his clinic, besides an unreliable-looking trainee breeder, there were also two cubs.

He didn't notice Su Ci's little movements, his entire mind was attracted by what he had just said.

"Why are you clearing a piece of land?" He ran over hurriedly, sat down at his workstation, looked at Su Ci and asked.

"Farming." Su Ci said.

"Farming?!" Doctor Gu almost broke down, "Is there no one taking care of you?"

He knew that Su Ci was a fellow cultivator like him and liked to grow things. He not only used his scarce points to exchange for fertilizer, but also went to the plantation to ask for seeds. However, he never expected that—

Su Ci actually played such a big game!

He actually cleared a plot of land behind the nursery? The soil on Prison Star releases pollutants! Forget growing anything! Even long-term contact with this soil is harmful to the human body!

Su Ci said: "The base's intelligent computer agreed."

“…”

Gu Qingchen was speechless. How could the base's intelligent computer actually agree to such a ridiculous thing? Was the intelligent computer infected by a virus? Or...

Is there anyone above Su Ci?

After a long silence, Gu Qingchen spoke again: "So, there really were no cubs injured in the past few days? What about Number Four? How is he doing after returning from the research institute?"

Su Ci had already taken No. 4 back to the nursery. He knew about this and was punished for violating the rules. Not only was his salary and points deducted for three months, but he was also given a demerit.

However, Gu Qingchen was convinced by this.

"Number four is good." Su Ci said.

Gu Qingchen was a little skeptical. "He showed the characteristics of two bloodline powers. Do you know about this?"

Su Ci nodded.

"Then you should also know what consequences this will bring to him, right?"

Seeing Su Ci nod again, Gu Qingchen slowly exhaled, "I have submitted an application to the Star Alliance. If it is approved, I should be able to get a batch of medicine to relieve his pain."

But, that’s all.

This is an incurable disease and there is currently no medicine to treat it. There is really not much they can do.

Although Su Ci felt that it might not be useful, he still nodded and said thank you.

Just as Gu Qingchen was about to continue asking him about the land, Su Ci said, "I came to you this time mainly because of number six."

"Oh? Number six? What happened to him?" Gu Qingchen perked up.

When the little monkey heard the familiar number, he couldn't help but prick up his ears and his expression became focused.

"I want to know about his bloodline." Su Ci said.

"The bloodline of Number Six..."

Gu Qingchen was very familiar with the cub's basic situation. He didn't need to look up any information before he casually said, "He has the bloodline of the golden macaque."

"Golden Macaque?" Su Ci felt that the name of this species was a bit strange.

"Hmm." Gu Qingchen said, "You may not have heard of this kind of ferocious beast bloodline before. It is also very rare in the interstellar space."

"What are the characteristics?" Su Ci asked.

"Golden macaques possess remarkable agility and a strong learning ability. They possess exceptional talents in both physical and spiritual realms, but what makes them most unique is their second life."

Gu Qingchen lowered his voice unconsciously.

This is a secret belonging to every beast-blooded race. If the base had not taken in a golden macaque cub, he would not have been able to access such a secret.

Of course, before joining the company, they all signed a confidentiality agreement and were absolutely not allowed to disclose the characteristics of the beast-blood race to anyone, even after leaving the company. Otherwise, they would be sent to a military court, and in serious cases, they would be retaliated against by the beast-blood race.

As a breeder, Su Ci must have signed the relevant agreement when he started working, so Gu Qingchen did not hide it from him.

"A second life?" Su Ci glanced at the little monkey sitting obediently in A Yan's arms.

"Yes." Gu Qingchen nodded, "Warriors with this bloodline will always be accompanied by a monkey after they reach adulthood."

"This monkey is in tune with their minds and is their most tacit combat partner. It can perform special tasks on their behalf and is also their second incarnation."

"As long as the monkeys don't die, even if they are killed, they can be resurrected after a period of time. Similarly, even if the monkeys are killed, it won't have much impact on them."

Therefore, the golden macaque's beast-blood warriors are very difficult to deal with.

When they go astray, it is more likely to cause social unrest.

Gu Qingchen also knew a little about Number Six's life experience.

Both of his parents were very powerful beast-blood warriors who had made great achievements on the front lines. His mother even died in the battle with interstellar monsters, and his father retired early due to injury.

Originally, Number Six should have been a favored orphan of a martyr, growing up under the care of his parents.

However, his father, the beast-blooded warrior who inherited the golden macaque bloodline from him, had a drastic change in temperament after returning from the battlefield for some unknown reason.

He abandoned his young child and disappeared. When he reappeared, he had become a madman who killed anyone he saw.

Every time he was shot dead, he would reappear after a while, becoming more and more crazy, and his killing methods became more and more cruel.

During that time, the detectives in charge of his manhunt were almost driven crazy. Even though the Star Alliance sent out star police officers with superb professional abilities, they were helpless against his invincibility.

Until, when No. 6's father's second incarnation, the golden macaque, was on another killing spree, he dragged his weak body and appeared in front of people.

Gu Qingchen has seen that video footage.

The golden macaque saluted the soldiers, then looked at the sniper and calmly faced death.

In the end, the golden macaque and No. 6's father were shot dead at the same time. From then on, the nightmare that lasted for more than a year was truly over.

Number Six was only four years old at the time.

After his father died, he lived in an orphanage and gradually showed an unstable personality and an aggressiveness far exceeding that of other cubs.

The influence caused by his father was too bad, and ordinary welfare homes were indeed unable to cope with the cubs who had gone berserk. After considering many factors, the Star Alliance finally decided to send him to the Prison Star Nursery.

Gu Qingchen was very careful with this cub when he first took it over. But apart from being moody and not as emotionally stable and intelligent as other cubs of his age, Number Six was actually the one that was less worrying among the cubs.

Because when he is in a good mood, he is like a little angel. He not only smiles, but is also willing to communicate. He even gave himself a nickname called "Liuliu".

He is the most cheerful one among all the cubs.

Of course, when communicating with him, you must be careful not to overthink things. Once you make him unhappy, he will explode immediately. He may be smiling at you in the last second and suddenly hurt you in the next second.

However, what surprised Gu Qingchen was that he had never seen the second incarnation of Number Six.

There is too little information available, and we don’t know at which stage the golden macaque’s second incarnation appeared, or how it appeared.

Gu Qingchen hid the matter of No. 6's father and briefly told Su Ci about No. 6's situation.

"Number Six is ​​almost nine years old this year. According to common sense, it should be about time for his bloodline characteristics to manifest. You should pay more attention to him."

Gu Qingchen took the thermos cup and took a sip of water to moisten his throat.

And Su's poems also seemed to be full of thoughts.

"Okay, it's getting late. You should go back first. We can talk on the communicator if there's anything." Gu Qingchen looked at the darkening sky outside and couldn't help but start to drive people away.

It’s better not to go out at night.

Su Ci nodded. He had almost understood the situation and knew roughly what was going on.

However, before leaving, he still stretched out his hand and said to Gu Qingchen: "I need to purify myself."

Gu Qingchen recalled and found that it had indeed been quite a while since Su Ci's last purification.

So he put on gloves and held Su Ci's hand.

And Su Ci also quietly placed his other hand on A Yan's body...

After squeezing Dr. Gu dry once again, Su Ci left the medical purification room contentedly with A Yan and the little monkey.

However, when he arrived at the nursery, he received another document from Gu Qingchen.

Gu Qingchen: [This is about Number Six's father. I thought about it and felt it necessary to tell you. It might be helpful for you to take care of Number Six in the future.]

Then, he added: [Each cub is an independent individual. I hope you won't let their parents' affairs affect your judgment of them.]

Su Ci was a little surprised. After receiving the file, he replied with a good word.

He was about to turn off the communicator, but Gu Qingchen's message came again -

Gu Qingchen: [Keeper Su, your tolerance to pollutants seems to be a little abnormal. Can you come to the medical department again sometime? I can give you a detailed examination.]

Su Ci couldn't help but laugh when he recalled Gu Qingchen's expression of despair when he just left.

Before he could reply, Gu Qingchen sent another message, saying: [By the way, when I’m free in a couple of days, can I come and see your place?]

Since Su Ci took the initiative to mention this matter to him, he had expected him to say this.

His goal is to restore vitality to the earth, which requires the help of humans, so there is no need to hide his farming.

After getting to know him, he felt that Gu Qingchen was a good person. The fact that he learned the purification technique was enough to make him look at him differently.

【Can】

Su Ci replied with two words and ended the conversation.

Just as he was about to check the information sent by Gu Qingchen, he heard A Yan's voice.

"Susu, can I learn the purification technique?"

Su Ci looked at A Yan - at this moment, they had returned to the nursery and came to No. 2's room. No. 6 was still lying on No. 2's bed and had not woken up.

The little monkey squatted on the edge of the bed and looked at him, but had no intention of returning to his body.

Facing A Yan's question, Su Ci did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you want to learn?"

A Yan nodded and said in the voice of the communicator: "I think this ability is very useful, and it is the key to dealing with the red fog."

In the past, he also knew the importance of the purifier to the base. However, today, after seeing Susu use purification skills in battle, he realized that not only he, but even humans underestimated this profession.

The Purifier is definitely more than just an auxiliary. He can also play a vital role in combat, especially when dealing with monsters in the red fog.

"Your feeling is right." Su Ci said.

Purification is a very interesting ability.

As mentioned before, the essence of the red fog is a collection of spiritual energy from various negative energies. It relies on resentment to stimulate potential, which is similar to the path of magic cultivation. It is generally impossible to stimulate too positive abilities.

However, the purifier, stimulated by resentment, gained the ability to purify resentment.

This in itself is a very remarkable thing. Only a life with a strong will and a kind and compassionate heart can do this.

Even Su Ci believed that he could rely on himself and it would be difficult for him to suddenly realize this ability.

After experiencing such a long time and witnessing the rise and fall of countless living and dead things, Su Ci also learned to go with the flow and believe that everything has its destiny.

Whether good or evil, everyone has his own destiny, so as he grew older, he almost let things take their own course and no longer interfered with the affairs of other lives.

Of course, after waking up this time, the great changes that took place on the earth made Su Ci realize that he could not really "let nature take its course."

If he couldn't do it, he couldn't do it, so he, who always did what he wanted, intervened and got a lot of pleasure from it.

But Su Ci did not agree that he was a kind spirit, so it was impossible for him to suddenly realize the ability of purification.

If it were in the past, faced with such a large-scale resentment, he would probably choose to seal it directly. Otherwise... there really is no good way.

And now, he learned the purification technique from Gu Qingchen and elevated it to the level of divine art.

Although this technique cannot suppress the red fog in a short period of time, it can truly dispel resentment and liberate the undead souls that are trapped by resentment. It is indeed a very useful technique.

but……

"I'm not sure whether you can learn this technique. It depends on your will and character." Su Ci said to A Yan.

Su Ci is the spirit of the earth. Most of the rules of all things in the world were born from the earth. He is equivalent to the god of all things, so as long as he has seen the strange and bizarre abilities of the human race, he can master and use them.

But A Yan's situation is different from his. Even Su Ci cannot be sure of the direction of his growth.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you can't learn this technique. You can start with the formation." Su Ci comforted him, "I have already integrated this technique into the formation. I will teach you from now on."

After hearing him say this, the distress between A Yan's brows disappeared.

He nodded, "Okay Susu, I understand."

Then, he turned his gaze to the little monkey and No. 6, while Su Ci continued to read the information sent to him by Gu Qingchen, and also learned about the information about No. 6's parents.

He muted the communicator and clicked on the last video of Number Six's father's life.

Su Ci's attention was mainly focused on the golden macaque.

Looking at its eyes filled with complex human emotions, and then looking at the man who was as brutal and bloodthirsty as a wild beast, this...

It's very similar to the situation with number six, isn't it?

Perhaps, Number Six’s father is not crazy, he just appeared like Number Six now, facing the same problem.

The only difference is that No. 6's father became like this because of the misfortune he encountered after he became an adult, but No. 6... it should be caused by the riot of bloodline power.

The question now is——

"Do you want to go back to your body?" Su Ci asked the little monkey.

And just as Su Ci expected, after hearing his question, the little monkey shook his head.
