Chapter 95: About the fact that peeping is contagious, Brother Chu Li, what are you doing...
Something happened. Something happened. Something big happened!
Cui Zhiyong's mind is full of this thought.
He stood by the window, the half of his body exposed to the sun was burning hot, while the half of his body that was inside the house was cold and split like his thoughts.
Since he officially entered the Desert Kingdom, whether intentionally or involuntarily, he has been dealing with all kinds of people. If he makes a wrong step, all his efforts will be wasted. Thinking and scheming almost fill his entire brain, so that he has no time to recall the past. In addition, with some information he has just learned recently, he is more accustomed to thinking about problems in an absolutely rational way - this is what he learned from Zhang Chun.
However, when that familiar yet strange face appeared in front of him again, his self-proclaimed indestructible rationality was instantly shattered, and he almost exploded on the spot.
Too fucking scary!!
Well, there is a word that can perfectly describe this feeling.
——Uncanny Valley Effect!
Who understands? Obviously? It's a familiar person, but? It feels extremely strange, like there is another unknown creature under the skin, the sense of separation is too strong!
Cui Zhiyong almost slapped himself.
Great, think calmly first.
The first possibility is that "Yun Yan" was taken away by Xibei and brainwashed and turned evil? ——This possibility is extremely low. The guy is surrounded by powerful people with explosive combat power. The possibility of snatching people away under Zhang Chun's nose is comparable to the destruction of the world. What's more, Yun Yan himself is not lacking in strength or brains. Even if a god is shameless enough to take action personally, he will probably be slapped in the face. What's more, the most important point is that the guy has almost engraved these eight words "follow your heart" and "do whatever you want" in his bones. How could he stand behind others so honestly and not move just because of brainwashing? ! Even his eyeballs? Don't move! Impossible, absolutely? Impossible! He even beats people indiscriminately when he turns evil! ! It's obvious that he is a hyperactive kid!
Cui Zhiyong took a deep breath and once again carefully observed the boy a few meters away from head to toe.
Eliminating the most unlikely answer, the remaining ones are reasonable. For example, this person is not Yun Yan, but a blood brother of his, who was picked up by a Northwest stranger. When Yun Yan was picked up by Zhang Chun, he was in a state of amnesia, with a blank past. It is also possible that he has a brother!
And? A third? possibility...
Cui Zhiyong's expression gradually became cold.
When he joined the Red Cult, he naturally learned information that he had never been able to access before.
The Northwest Base does have cloning technology.
Zhang Chun once told him that there was a high-level alien from the northwest who wanted to snatch Yun Yan away.
Right? For those crazy people in the northwest? For the aliens, if they can't get the real body, they may create a clone to satisfy their addiction!
So no matter whether the young man in front of him is Yun Yan's biological brother or a clone, he must snatch him away.
Then think of a way to hand it over to Zhang Chun.
He must have a way to solve this problem!
......
【Cui Zhiyong finished thinking and made a firm decision.】
The system monitors the other party's heartbeat rhythm and micro-expression changes in real time, and finally evaluates it in one sentence: [Very cheerful, very lively, very suitable to be a punching bag. ]
Chu Xiuyan eliminated all distractions and tried hard to give himself a new persona of "cold-blooded to others and only caring about his teacher". He stood behind the sofa like a corpse with only his eyeballs still moving, staring at Bishop Claude in front of him expressionlessly.
Bishop Claude's smile became more and more stiff as he talked about the next move. The gaze from the other side was too cold, which made him always have the illusion that the other side would suddenly explode.
Although he was extremely unhappy, Bishop Claude, who was good at controlling his emotions, continued to discuss the next plan with Boqu with a smile.
This is a very obvious smiling tiger, seemingly kind but actually hiding a knife in his words, which can be called insidious, just like the topic he is talking about now.
"The messengers sent by the ruined city this time are two S-level teams, which is nearly one-sixth of their combat power. We are slightly weaker here. Although we can barely hold them back, if an armed conflict really breaks out, we are likely to fail. When I realized this, I tried to contact the kingdom continuously. Unfortunately, my superiors did not believe my judgment and thought that I was worrying too much. Mr. Qu, you have also come into contact with those two high-level psychics. They give me a very dangerous feeling. I am afraid they are not far from the top. Once they explode..."
Bishop Crow said suggestively, trying to drag the Northwestern Army into the game, and Boqu's response to this was gentle persuasion.
"Please don't worry too much. Although I am not a combat type, I can provide a lot of support in terms of weapons and medicine. Moreover, I have great confidence in your abilities. Compared with the evolutionary path of a single Inhuman trapped by the environment, I believe that the way you choose can break through the limits and reach a higher level. Using battle to sharpen yourself sounds really exciting. Doesn't the existence of that person confirm your path?"
Bai Qu sighed and threw the trap back calmly. It was impossible to send troops to the northwest. He was very sincere to come to help. He believed that you could defeat the enemy on your own. By the way, he mentioned that "existence" in a vague way, saying that it was unnecessary.
Bishop Claude's expression froze, his pupils contracted abnormally, and then slowly recovered, skipping the topic as if nothing had happened.
And? Chu Xiuyan, who had been standing behind the sofa and staring at Bishop Claude carefully, sensed a hint of something unusual.
But the abnormal aura was fleeting, making him think it was an illusion.
Bishop Claude continued to chat with Boqu, but the atmosphere was not as harmonious as before, so Boqu soon found a reason to end the topic and prepared to leave.
Bishop Crow saw him off with a smile, seemingly without any unhappiness.
When Bo Qu walked to the door, he suddenly turned sideways, and his eyes behind the glasses fell on Cui Zhiyong, who had been standing silently by the window, and he chuckled and said, "Bishop Cui, you don't seem to be in a good mood today. Are you worried about something?"
And? This time, the young man standing behind him also looked at the man by the window, with the same coldness and strangeness as when he looked at Bishop Claude.
Cui Zhiyong looked away and said impatiently, "Whether I am annoying or not is none of your business."
Bai Qu was not angry and took the boy away.
After they left, Bishop Claude no longer had the false and kind smile on his face. He sat back on the sofa gloomily, his eyes fixed on a certain point in the air, and said in a cold voice: "Since you don't want to take action against the group of people in the ruined city, then you should go and kill Bo Qu."
Cui Zhiyong was still worried about the boy who had the same appearance as Yunyan, and he cursed without any hesitation: "Kill, kill, kill, all you think about is killing. Why didn't you kill that damn old man, the Pope?"
Bishop Claude's forehead was choked by this remark, and he glared at Cui Zhiyong: "What nonsense are you talking about?! Watch your attitude! Attitude! Do you really think I won't report to the Pope?!"
Cui Zhiyong was given a headache by the noise. He glanced at them coldly and said, "That's your choice. It's none of my business."
After saying that, he lifted his cloak, flipped it over the windowsill, and jumped out directly.
Bishop Crow: “?!”
He quickly leaned over to the window and looked down, and saw the figure in red falling directly to the ground and hiding in a house. It seemed that she was not going to commit suicide.
Bishop Claude breathed a sigh of relief. He really disliked Cui Zhiyong and had really thought about taking action. However, once Cui Zhiyong, who was being watched by various forces, died, everyone's attention would be shifted to him. The king was furious, and even the Pope could not save him... No, the Pope could not save him at all.
——The order given to him by that damn old man was clearly to kill him if he had any doubts. He bypassed the king and executed him first and then asked for his approval. This was clearly to send everyone in Base 23 to death!
Bah, old man?!
…
Chu Xiuyan followed Bai Qu out of the stone tower, still with a cold expression on his face.
System: [Cui Zhiyong is hiding in the shabby house at one o'clock in your direction? He is quietly observing you.]
Chu Xiuyan tried hard to maintain his new persona: [I sensed a very, very familiar peeping style.]
While he was talking to the system in his mind, he looked up and noticed two figures standing at the end of the opposite street. They were Zai Zhe and his adjutant, who seemed to be waiting for him to come over.
Bai Qu also saw them, with no emotion on his face. He took off his glasses and wiped them, then asked Chu Xiuyan casually, "It looks like you have companions in the base, but I suggest you follow me first."
Chu Xiuyan looked at him, with a puzzled look on his face.
Bo Qu patiently explained: "Your identity has been made public. The cardinal believes that you are my student, and this identity has almost no obstacles in this base. But if you act like a stranger to me and often come into contact with those people in the ruined city, it is likely to arouse their suspicion. So I suggest that you live with me first, and then go out and do activities in my name. What do you think?"
System: [Have ulterior motives and bad intentions! ]
Chu Xiuyan: "You are such a good person!"
Bai Qu's smile froze slightly. He had a strange feeling, as if he had been scolded, but when he looked closely, there was nothing unusual.
He had no choice but to suppress the strange feeling and walked towards the laboratory with the new fake student.
Cui Zhiyong, who was hiding in a shabby house not far away, squatted in front of a small hole and looked out. Because the distance was a bit far, he didn't hear what Bai Qu and the young man said at all. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy and anxious he became.
At the end of the street, Zai Zhe, who seemed to be chatting with his adjutant, was also attracted by the boy and Bai Qu who came out of the tower. When he was about to hint to the other party to stay away from Bai Qu and find a place to meet up, he saw Bai Qu said something to the boy, and then the other party ran away with a happy face, without any sign of wanting to communicate with acquaintances, and didn't even glance at them.
Zai Zhe was too lazy to pretend anymore, and looked directly at him, sighing, "I now understand why Zhang Chun said before he left that if I met Yun Yan, and there were no other acquaintances around, he would insist on me keeping an eye on him."
And? On the other side, Chu Xiuyan, who was following Bo Qu on his way to the laboratory, took the initiative to change the subject: "Teacher, aren't you going to blow up the stone tower?"
Bo Qu: "It doesn't matter. The blasting plan is not urgent. We can postpone it for a few days."
He didn't say why he wanted to blow up the stone tower, and he obviously didn't trust Chu Xiuyan as much as he appeared to.
Of course, after all, this is a squinty-eyed monster!
Chu Xiuyan listened to the system broadcasting the number behind him increasing by one and pretended to be unaware.
Soon, they arrived at their destination, which was a large house that looked intact from the outside, completely different from the dilapidated houses around it.
"This house was once the residence of the base commander, so it survived the disaster." Bo Qu briefly explained, and then said: "My research direction is pharmacy, which involves many aspects. Rooms 1 to 3 are more dangerous. If you hear explosions or strange noises, please don't worry, that's normal. There are basically no dangerous items in the rooms after room 4. I remember that the last few rooms are lounges. You can stay in those rooms at ordinary times, and no one will disturb you. If you want to borrow my name to go out to do something, it's best to let me know in advance, otherwise I may not be able to react - I usually stay in room 1, just knock on the door, I can hear it."
Bai Qumian? said gently? to the well-behaved boy behind him.
Chu Xiuyan tilted his head: "Do you want me to live in the laboratory?"
Bo Qu corrected: "It's the rest area of the laboratory. The facilities inside are easy to identify. Most of the rooms are filled with materials, equipment, and sundries, while the rest room only has a bed and a table."
Chu Xiuyan repeated: "So, you are inviting me to live in the rest area of the laboratory?"
Bai Qu didn't understand why the boy asked again. He had some doubts in his heart, but at present, there was no other place except the laboratory where he could let the other party stay and observe him for a long time.
So he pushed up his glasses, with a gentle smile on his face, "Of course, as long as you want, you can live in my laboratory forever."
Chu Xiuyan took a deep breath, and the coldness on his face disappeared. As if he had heard something very happy, tears of emotion flashed in his eyes, "Teacher! Thank you! I am so happy! You helped me realize my dream since I was a child! Oh my God, I can finally step into a real laboratory!"
Bo Qu: "...It's the rest area in the laboratory."
He watched the young man jump and push open the door, his eyes slightly opened behind the lenses, and for some reason, a sense of foreboding flashed through his mind.
And? At this moment, three figures were hiding in the street where this house was located.
The system stared at the scanned image, remained silent for a while, and hesitated: [When did Chu Li come? ]
Chu Xiuyan, who was happily visiting the Boqu Laboratory, suddenly froze in his smile: [Is the uncle here? ]
System: [He is not here.]
[Then? It's okay! But then again, is peeping contagious? ]
