Chapter 86 Traitor
◎The betrayer is you!◎
Xu Wen's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly: "It seems that we don't even have five days now."
If Qin Shu's soul becomes completely transparent, not only will she be unable to touch things in reality, but they will also no longer be able to see her or communicate with her. That would be extremely troublesome.
Time is running out!
"Let's go and take a look at the cave over there and the place where you just discovered the abnormality." Although Lu Yishen was also very anxious, fortunately he still maintained some rationality.
Xu Wen nodded quickly upon hearing this. "Some things can't be seen with the naked eye, but that doesn't mean they don't leave any traces. I'll immediately arrange for the Akon Star Trace Examination Team to bring all the equipment and conduct an inspection to see if they can find any clues."
Qin Shu nodded and said, "Okay."
Qin Shu quickly took Lu Yishen and Xu Wen to the approximate place where the three-headed dog of hell was barking at each other. Because they were afraid of destroying the traces, they did not go too close, but just pointed and explained the specific situation at that time.
The people of Arkansas now have a particularly good impression of Qin Shu. When they heard that Qin Shu was in trouble, they sent all the best trace experts on the entire planet without saying a word, and also brought in a lot of precision instruments.
After learning of the emergency, the Interstellar Federation could no longer sit still and sent countless professionals with various equipment to the scene.
Fortunately, this mobilization was effective. Although there were almost no traces left at the scene, the trace experts actually collected soil particles that did not belong to Arkansas from the footprints on the cave floor that were invisible to the naked eye.
"Don't underestimate these soils. They can bring a lot of information. The formation of soil is affected by many factors such as climate, organisms, altitude, parent material, time, etc. By analyzing these things, we can infer where the owner of the footprints has been." Seeing that the expert was about to talk more and more, Xu Wen quickly interrupted his desire for popular science and asked him to get back to work.
"At least I have some clues." After doing all this, Xu Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
You have to know that they have spent a full 13 hours for this clue.
At this time, Qin Shu, accompanied by Lu Yishen, was sitting in the center of the cave. Her soul seemed to be more transparent, and no one knew what she was thinking. Her expression was more serious than ever.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Xu Wen couldn't help but ask Lu Yishen next to him in a low voice, not daring to disturb Qin Shu's thoughts.
Seeing this, Lu Yishen whispered back, "She said she seemed to have overlooked some important information and is thinking about it right now."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wen didn't dare to disturb Qin Shu anymore. He only whispered to Lu Yishen about the experts' findings.
Lu Yishen nodded to show that he understood.
Although he looks calm and rational now, every time he sees Qin Shu's body becoming more transparent, he always subconsciously clenches his fists, as if he will not be able to control his emotions if he doesn't do so.
The analysis work over there was still going on, and Qin Shu's thinking was also continuing.
She carefully recalled everything that had happened since she submitted herself to the system, and finally her eyes lit up. She slapped her thigh and said, "Ah, it's that Yun Shangjun!"
Lu Yishen didn't understand: "Which Yun Shangjun?"
He did know Yun Shangjun, but what did "that" Yun Shangjun mean?
Xu Wen, who was standing beside him, was stunned when he heard this. He then clenched his right fist and knocked it directly on his left palm, saying, "Ah, it's that brain!"
Lu Yishen: “?”
"Yes, it's him!" Qin Shu remembered that Hei Wuchang said at that time that there was a causal relationship between her and that brain. She helped him at that time, and he would help her later, completing this causal relationship.
And now she urgently needs help. Although she doesn't know how this brain can help her, she still wants to give it a try. What if?
"But now that Ma Liang has disappeared, Mr. Brain won't turn back into his original form, right?" Xu Wen was a little worried.
"No, just like the Black and White Impermanence disappeared, but my solid state didn't disappear immediately. What has already happened shouldn't be affected, at least not immediately." Qin Shu affirmed, "But the key point now is how do we find this person!"
How can you find a person who has not been recorded and may not even have any biological information?
After all, it was just a shell drawn by Ma Liang.
"Why don't we look for him while he looks for you?" Lu Yishen suddenly said.
"Let him find me?" Qin Shu was stunned when she heard that.
"That's a good idea. Your popularity has always been high. It's easier for him to come to you than for us to look for him everywhere. After all, no matter where he is, as long as he pays a little attention to the Star Network, he will see news about your high popularity." Xu Wen agreed with the suggestion.
"It would be best if it was a hot search that would let him know that Xiaoshu is looking for him now, and it's very urgent, but it's best not to reveal too much information. After all, we don't know anything about the fast traveler right now." Lu Yishen added.
"Well, it would be best if it becomes a natural trending search, just like before, so as not to attract the attention of that quick traveler." Qin Shu also nodded.
Although it sounds a bit difficult, these are not the problems Qin Shu needs to worry about. The Interstellar Federation will consider how to operate specifically.
At this moment, the results of the soil analysis finally came out, and the researchers directly transmitted the analysis results to Qin Shu and their terminal.
Xu Wen opened the report and read just two pages when his expression suddenly changed: "How could it be..."
Even Qin Shu couldn't help but pursed her lips when she saw the analysis report.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yishen couldn't help but feel worried when he saw this.
Xu Wen remained silent, but Qin Shu sighed softly and said, "Some of the places and substances shown in the analysis report look so familiar."
Sigma 13, the desolate planet where she had military training, the Radiation Planet with its abnormal climate, and Arkan Planet almost completely overlapped with her trajectory, not to mention the substances that were detected. They contained ingredients of the unknown poison that had previously infected the Arachi insects and the Radiation Planet Dahei.
In other words, the person who left the footprints during the alien insect incident and the Dahei poisoning incident was at the scene, and might even be right next to her.
"Maybe it's your or Xu Wen's footprints?" Lu Yishen said.
"Not us." Qin Shu shook her head.
"So sure?"
Xu Wen nodded slightly. "Well, first, the experts' analysis shows that the footprints belong to a woman, and a woman between 172 and 175 cm tall. Qin Shu and I don't fall into this category, and there are no women in the research base who meet this requirement. Second..."
Xu Wen couldn't help but pause when he said this, his expression somewhat complicated. He was silent for a long time before continuing, "The last place name in the analysis report, Cape Town 1799, that war-torn planet, is not a place that anyone can visit. Qin Shu and I have never been there."
"Then, are there any people who have met the other conditions and have been there?"
Xu Wen was silent again, but Qin Shu gave a positive answer: "Yes."
"who?"
"Zhou Yin."
Xu Wen did not refute: "..."
Yes, Zhou Yin.
The brave woman who had been with Qin Shu at the beginning felt extremely guilty for not protecting Qin Shu, so she resigned and went to the front line of the war to hone herself.
The front line she went to after leaving Sigma 13 was the planet Cape Town 1799.
To be honest, when Qin Shu thought about it again, she could hardly remember what Zhou Yin looked like. It was not long since Zhou Yin left, but it was as if she was subconsciously rejecting this person.
Moreover, when Zhou Yin left, she was not particularly sad. She thought it was because she had experienced too many fast-forwarding worlds, and her emotions were lacking and she was not sensitive, so she felt a little sorry for Zhou Yin. After all, Zhou Yin had always been very good to her.
But now that she thinks about it, maybe her intuition had vaguely sensed something at that time, so her body instinctively defended itself.
"I'll go and confirm where Zhou Yin is now." Xu Wen took a deep breath. Apart from the slightly red eyes, there was no sign of abnormality on his body. He still looked calm and rational.
But Qin Shu knew that Xu Wen actually regarded Zhou Yin as a very important friend.
Qin Shu nodded and said nothing more. She knew very well that even if it was confirmed that Zhou Yin was on the planet Cape Town 1799, it would not wash away the suspicion that she had just been here. After all, if she was the fast traveler, or was related to the fast traveler, common sense could not be used to speculate.
Just like she can teleport long distances through heroic spirits, Zhou Yin may also have other ways.
"Xiaoshu." Seeing that Qin Shu suddenly fell silent, Lu Yishen couldn't help but extend his hand.
Palms facing up, serious expression.
"What is this for?" Qin Shu was a little confused when she saw this.
"I am here."
These two short words made Qin Shu startled, and then she chuckled.
Was he afraid that she would be sad because of Zhou Yin's situation? Or was he afraid that she would be uneasy and frightened because of what had happened?
Clumsy comfort.
But there was indeed a warm current flowing through her heart. Qin Shu silently stretched out her hand and placed it in Lu Yishen's palm.
Lu Yishen held her hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in the next second.
"Thank you, Lu Yishen." Qin Shu said softly.
Qin Shu actually understood better than anyone that she might have run out of time. After all, no one could tell whether her body was taken away or completely destroyed after her system was taken away.
The place she could return to might no longer exist, and everything she did now might be in vain in the end.
She knew that if she wanted to survive, or even regain her system, there was a simpler and more convenient way, which was -
Kill Lu Yishen.
As long as Lu Yishen died and everything started over again, she could go back to the day when she was 20 years old.
At that time, the system was still there, and her body was still there.
As for Lu Yishen——
Qin Shu turned her head to look at the person who was completely defenseless against her. If she wanted to, she could easily kill the person in front of her without even catching any props, but looking at Lu Yishen's gentle eyes, she couldn't harden her heart.
