Chapter 267 Finale (Part 2): Reunion

In the church, Shen Shouli and Xu Lingqu sat side by side, and he was debugging his intelligent brain.

Jin and Xu Xizhen were on a mission and didn't know where Xiang was. The fastest way to tell them the good news was to talk on the smart brain.

He called up Jin's AI friend page, paused again, and glanced at Xu Lingqu.

Shen Shouli was really afraid that everything that was happening was a relatively real dream, so he would stop and observe Xu Lingqu from time to time.

Xu Lingqu glanced at him and asked, "Is there something wrong with your program?"

Shen Shouli: ...

This is the genuine Xu Lingqu.

He initiated a call request to King.

On a planet in the Republic's sixth galaxy, Jin and Xu Xizhen found a laboratory hidden by former federal officials, where most of the experiments were conducted on animal and human genetic hybridization.

After pretending to surrender to the Empire, this federal official bribed his way into keeping his laboratory and continued his experiments.

After the establishment of the Republic, he wanted to use the same tactics against the Empire to deal with the Republic, but was targeted by the Republic's Special Affairs Bureau.

Jin and Xu Xizhen carried out this mission personally. The two men wore white coats and pretended to be researchers to sneak in. Then they slaughtered the people inside with ease.

The matter was almost done. Jin looked up at the frightened mermaid trapped in the glass cabinet. This was the most successful experiment in this laboratory.

"How do we deal with this thing, Director?" Jin asked Xu Xizhen.

Xu Xizhen walked over upon hearing this, frowned, and didn't wait for her to speak.

Jin said as if he had seen a ghost: “Shen Shouli actually contacted me on his own initiative.”

In the ten years since the founding of the Republic, he has never left the neutral planet, nor has he taken the initiative to contact them, completely isolating himself.

Jin would occasionally go to see him during his holidays, and his conclusion was that there was no hope for him. Shen Shouli lived so long that he could basically be written into the biography of heroic men, and he should also be given a chastity arch for a widow.

Jin felt that something big had happened as he had actually contacted him today. Originally, he was not allowed to answer such video calls while on a mission, so he quickly asked his only superior, Xu Xizhen, for instructions.

Xu Xizhen also felt something was strange. She couldn't say that she hated Shen Shouli so much, but she didn't like him very much either. Everything related to Shen Shouli was told to her by Jin Chuan.

"Pick it up." Xu Xizhen was in a neutral position, wondering if something had happened, so he asked Jin to pick it up.

"Young Master, you still remember that I am a living person..." Jin picked up the conversation and started to condemn me, but got stuck halfway through.

His gaze stayed on Shen Shouli for only a second before he quickly turned to the person sitting next to him.

From this angle, the young woman really looks like Xu Lingqu.

I bet that stupid idiot Shen Shouli is so homesick that he has to create a substitute for Xu Lingqu!

Jin's heart was filled with alarm, and he was even thinking of rushing to Zhongli Star to stab Chen Shouli twice. At this time, Xu Xizhen also came over.

"What happened..." There was blood on her left glove. After seeing the woman next to Shen Shouli, she subconsciously put her hand behind her back.

"you……"

"Zhenzhen, what are you doing?" Xu Lingqu spoke. She had actually known what Xu Xizhen was doing through her divine power a long time ago, but she still wanted to ask in person to express her concern for her.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Xizhen could immediately confirm that this was her sister.

Although he didn't know what she had been doing these days since she reappeared, Xu Xizhen didn't want to care about it now. He only knew that his sister was back.

The cold-blooded and ruthless disguise that the Director of the Republic's Special Affairs Bureau had been building for himself over the years collapsed at this moment.

Xu Xizhen's tears fell so quickly that Jin was stunned. He was stunned for several seconds before realizing that it was not the substitute found by Shen Shouli, but Xu Lingqu.

Jin was tongue-tied for a moment and had no idea what to say. He raised his eyes and barely found a clean background in this bloody laboratory to keep the call going. The two of them were very close, almost wanting to put their faces against the intelligent computer screen.

Like a puppy that destroys the house and tries to hide it from its owner in this way.

"Commander! Where have you been? I knew you weren't dead back then. Were you captured by aliens? You're not going to fight in outer space, are you?"

Sometimes Jin would inexplicably reveal some truth, even though he clearly knew nothing.

"Sister, they all bullied me when you were away, but now I'm the director of the Special Affairs Bureau. No one dares to look down on me just because I'm Xu Chengbi's daughter..."

Xu Xizhen had so much to say that his words were confusing for a moment.

Xu Lingqu listened quietly to the two people talking for more than two hours, and then the church door suddenly opened.

Liu Zheng was wearing a black windbreaker with a formal suit underneath. As the current chairman, she rushed here as soon as the Supreme Conference of the Republic ended.

Shen Shouli informed her before contacting Jin. Liu Zheng didn't react on the surface, but the secretary standing next to her knew clearly that the chairman's starship had just violated five interstellar traffic laws in a row in order to rush to the neutral star at the fastest speed.

This matter must be on the headlines of the Republic. The secretary sighed silently in his heart.

Ksenia tried to stop him at first, but when she realized that the man coming at her aggressively was the President of the Republic, she quietly retreated.

Watching Liu Zheng kick open the church door, Ksenia asked Father Mellen to remember that she wanted compensation!

Liu Zheng walked straight towards the direction where Xu Lingqu and Shen Shouli were.

Xu Lingqu stood up and turned to look at her.

Liu Zheng stood in place, her eyes sweeping over Xu Lingqu's entire body. The best sniper engraved her target in her mind. After confirming that it was correct, she relaxed her tense state.

"Welcome back, Commander," she said.

-

Apart from the five people with the closest relationship, the first person to know the news of Xu Lingqu's "resurrection" was Jin Fang Taibai.

As another deputy director of the Special Affairs Bureau, Jin Fang Taibai boasted that he had completely seen through his two simple-minded colleagues. As the smartest person in the Special Affairs Bureau, he discovered the abnormality of the two in zero seconds and used skilled tracking technology to come to the neutral planet.

He was eventually captured by the new defense machine developed by Master Duanmeng and appeared in front of Xu Lingqu as a prisoner.

Fang Taibai looked at Xu Lingqu in front of him, and remained silent at first. Then he turned his head with a frown and said, "I knew you were not dead!"

He took one last look at the mechanical arms on his body, but didn't dare to get angry at Master Duanmeng, so he shouted angrily, "Xu Xizhen! Jin! Please untie me right now! If anything happens to me, the Special Affairs Bureau will be completely screwed if I rely on you two!"

Fang Taibai was able to recover from his shambles and looked at Xu Lingqu questioningly, "Are you the real Xu Lingqu? You're not a clone, are you? Has the soul inside you been replaced?"

Xu Lingqu said calmly, "It has changed. Now it's a brutal alien creature."

Jin Fang Taibai slapped Jin, who was watching the show, and said, "Oh no! This is the real Xu Lingqu."

The second person to know the news was Gu Tingzhi. As the vice chairman, he became suspicious from Liu Zheng's rare loss of composure that day, and in the end he got the truth out of Fang Taibai in just two or three sentences.

Gu Tingzhi had mixed feelings when he arrived at Neutral Star. He didn't know how to face Xu Lingqu. The two of them didn't seem to be very familiar with each other, or perhaps he had been one-sided over the years...

So he hesitated for a while before coming, and the starships of Jia Xiangying, Hei Yingzhi and Guan Chuanjun arrived at the same time as him.

Gu Tingzhi understood that Jia Xiangying was able to know the news, but how did a single-celled organism like Guan Chuanjun know it?

Guan Chuanjun smiled smugly, "You all came here for Master Forging Dreams' new weapon, right? I knew it... I've even had someone keep an eye on you..."

Jia Xiangying and Gu Tingzhi: ...It turns out this idiot really doesn't know.

Black Hawk chuckled and put his arm around Guan Chuanjun's shoulder. "Young Master Guan, do you have any investment intentions lately?"

"Just that crappy game of yours?" Guan Chuanjun slapped his hand away in disgust. "No need to talk about it."

He watched Jia Xiangying and Gu Tingzhi heading towards the church island and wondered when Gu Tingzhi and Jia Xiangying became religious.

However, this church seemed to be quite effective. He still remembered that year in the league, thanks to his aunt’s prayers for him, Seabuckthorn was able to advance to the quarterfinals.

Guan Chuanjun felt nostalgic when he thought of this place, so he followed the three of them to the church island.

Jia Xiangying hurried into the church but only saw Ksenia.

As soon as she saw these people, she knew they were here to look for Xu Lingqu. She pointed outside and said, "The messenger is walking his dog outside."

The four of them walked out again, and Guan Chuanjun wondered, "Why are you so anxious to see a divine messenger..."

His complaints stopped when he saw the messenger walking his dog.

Guan Chuanjun's heartbeat accelerated strangely again, so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of his throat.

Xu Lingqu lowered his head, picked up the heavy knife, and looked at Qike beside him: "Isn't it quite well behaved?"

Qi Ke pursed his lips and said, "Chen Dao is a bad boy who always knows how to judge people by their abilities."

He pointed at Shen Shouli, who was holding a blade next to him, and said, "But it still focuses on bullying him. It likes to dig in the land he planted."

Chike was holding Lumin in his hand. Lumin's head seemed to be equipped with a device aimed at Xu Lingqu, and he kept staring at Xu Lingqu.

Xu Lingqu leaned over and touched the dog's head, then looked at the three people who appeared in front of him: "Is there something wrong?"

Gu Tingzhi was the first to come back to his senses: "No, no, you..."

The vice chairman, who was always known for his clear and fluent speech, paused several times before saying, "Xu Lingqu, you're back?"

"Yeah." Xu Lingqu handed Chen Dao's dog leash to him: "Since you're here, you can walk the dog."

She turned to Shen Shouli: "Where are the fields you planted? Let me see."

Shen Shouli thought of the half of the peas that were growing well: "...Do we have to see it now?"

"Yeah." Xu Lingqu said what he meant, and Shen Shouli couldn't refuse.

The two people left the church island. Guan Chuanjun looked at their backs and suddenly realized what was happening and shouted, "Why is it him?!"

Gu Tingzhi lowered his head and looked at Chen Dao, revealing a helpless and bitter smile: "Even if it's not him, it won't be either you or me."

Jia Xiangying squatted down and poked Liuming's head: "If I kidnap you, will Xu Lingqu come to Skynet to find me personally?"

lumen:……

The most surprising thing for Xu Lingqu himself was that old man Duan Meng was in good health and energetic, and it seemed that he had no problem rebuilding the mecha for another ten years.

When he saw Xu Lingqu coming back, he didn't show his usual angry face, but rarely revealed his soft side: "I'm glad you're back."

Xu Lingqu thought for a moment and said, "The new structure lives very freely on Earth."

Master Forging Dreams was very proud: "That's my dog."

After he finished laughing, he hesitated and said, "What about the Milky Way...?"

"He's alive too." Xu Lingqu could clearly see him in his spiritual sense, happily building a temple for her in the An Lilith galaxy. "He's quite boisterous."

Master Duanmeng said regretfully, "I was so happy for nothing. I thought he would die before me! Humph!"

Xu Lingqu: ...

She came to Chen Shouli's island. Tonight, the group of people who knew that she was not dead were coming to celebrate for her at the instigation of Jin Fang Taibai. Chen Shouli was eradicating the Pure White Language in his manor.

Because Xu Lingqu said that peas are beautiful, Shen Shouli plans to turn this place into a pea manor.

Xu Lingqu put his hands on the fence and watched him busying around.

Shen Shouli saw her coming and asked the robot to give her water.

"Even if it wasn't changed to Pea Manor, I would still come here often." She suddenly said.

Shen Shouli was stunned for a moment, and he found that his little thoughts had nowhere to hide in front of her.

Xu Lingqu asked curiously, "Didn't Master Duanmeng give it to you?"

Shen Shouli was confused at first, but then he realized what she was talking about and took out the lumen ring from his collar.

He made it into a necklace and wore it all the time.

"Wear it on your hand." Xu Lingqu said.

After hearing the meaning of her words, Shen Shouli looked at her, opened his mouth and said nervously: "I, did I say that, Xu Lingqu..."

"I love you." Xuan Luo's light shone brightly here, revealing his true heart.

"You've said it many times." Xu Lingqu tapped his fingertips lightly, "Use your eyes and movements."

A flash of light passed through the temple. Green Peacock, who happened to be strolling around with nothing to do, shook his head when he saw this. "She really chose an ordinary human as her divine servant? I thought she would choose her former lieutenant."

"Maybe it will change after ten thousand years. Even if ordinary humans become servants of gods, they only have a lifespan of ten thousand years." Another idle god at the side chimed in.

The green peacock said angrily, "Watch your words. What do you mean by only having it for ten thousand years? For ordinary humans, it's already a miracle of life!"

Shen Shouli suddenly felt a force filling his body. He looked at Xu Lingqu in front of him and subconsciously felt that this force came from her.

The immortal touched my head, tied my hair and granted me immortality.

Xu Lingqu walked towards his manor: "Are they all coming tonight?"

"Um."

"You make a pea feast."

"…Why? Do you want to eat?"

"Use vegetables to chase people away."

She could already anticipate how noisy the night would be.

"Okay, let's make a pea feast."
